4564 Stream of grace in the last days before the end....

February 12, 1949: Book 53

An earthly life rich in grace can bring you to the highest level of perfection, and therefore every person shall open himself to the influx of grace in the last days, which will flow exceedingly abundantly in order to compensate for the short earthly time people are still granted until the end. I Myself will approach all people in various ways and offer them My gift of grace. The more distant they are from Me, the more often they will be given indications from above; the less they direct their senses spiritually, the more often they will be offered the opportunity to contact messengers from the spiritual kingdom; the strangest coincidences will cooperate in order to also inform them of supersensible activity, and the threads which originate from the spiritual kingdom will be guided everywhere. Every person will be able to establish contact with spiritually awakened people, and no one will be able to say that he has remained without knowledge. All those whose way of life is not right will receive warnings and admonitions, and I will especially take care of those who are misguided but not opposed to Me. And what gentle admonitions and advice cannot achieve, adversity and suffering will still bring about where My adversary is not already completely ruler. I woo every soul and know every person's innermost disposition, I help and lift the fallen from the depths, I try to guide it upwards and am always and constantly ready to distribute My blessings which are expressed in the form of My word, in spiritual and earthly help and which everyone can request and use if he only wants. You humans can still reach a high degree of maturity if you make contact with the spiritual kingdom, if you request the influx of My grace and allow yourselves to be considered by Me and all beings of light who look after you and stand by your side, as soon as you call upon them to help you on the path of ascent. The time until the end is only short, and therefore your earthly life will be rich in inner struggles, in adversity and suffering of all kinds, because you should raise your eyes to Me so that I can let Myself be found. As soon as you establish contact with Me in prayer or in thought you will open yourselves to the influx of grace and then you need no longer fear the end, then you will also recognize Me in suffering, you will believe in Me and no longer turn your thoughts away from Me; then grace will already have taken effect on you and you will consciously strive towards Me. As soon as you include Me in your thoughts you will already be on the path upwards and you will no longer sink back because I will hold you. And you will long for My word.... Then you will no longer be in danger, for My word is the greatest means of grace which never remains without effect. The greater your desire for My word the further you will progress in your development, for the desire for My word is equal to the desire for Me Myself and also results in unification with Me, which is the aim of your earthly life. The end time will still bring much suffering and affliction, but also consider this as a means of grace of inconceivable value.... endure everything and come to Me in every adversity, then you will be able to achieve the greatest success, and the short earthly life will result in the maturity of your soul so that you need not fear the end....

Amen
