4558 Resisting the truth.... "Seek and ye shall find...."

February 4, 1949: Book 53

It is a difficult start to convey My word to those who believe themselves to be in possession of the truth and yet only advocate misguided teachings as truth. And My servants on earth will have a difficult time with them, they will be denounced as heretics and false prophets, and the former will be believed more and nothing will be accepted which is conveyed to people from above and shall be spread. Nevertheless, you, My disciples of the last days, shall proclaim My word wherever you are offered the opportunity to speak, and you can always be certain that I am with you and support you in every way. For there are people of good will everywhere who desire the truth and cannot find it where you believe to possess the truth. There will be people everywhere to whom the word from above speaks to the heart and who therefore also accept what is offered to them and recognize it as truth. Everyone is free to accept or reject, yet where obedience is rendered under coercion, where people cannot freely decide for themselves, you will not achieve much unless a person is so intimately united with Me that he will not be satisfied with what is imparted to him from that side. He will be guided into right thinking, he will recognize the truth of his own accord, but never where My word from above is rejected, instead, he will look for Me and I will let him find Me, I will supply him with My right representatives who will enlighten him and introduce him to the truth. But make an attempt everywhere to spread My word, make no distinction but speak everywhere you find access. It is the individual souls in the midst of the masses who recognize Me in the word, the sheep who recognize the voice of their shepherd and follow it. And if you find a person to whom you make My word accessible and who listens to you, you have achieved much, for this person is saved for eternity, he now stands in truth which lets him find the path to Me. Speak and advertise everywhere, and even if the success is small you are nevertheless the helper for some souls in greatest spiritual adversity, for error will not make a soul happy but only block its path to Me. But if it seeks Me it will also seek the truth and recognize it in My word which you offer to people in My name. But anyone who rejects it harms himself, yet it is his free will....

Amen
