4609 Conviction of the truth can only be found within the human being himself....

April 7, 1949: Book 53

Nothing can give you the conviction of truth if you don't try to find it within yourselves, that is, if you don't have the will to attain knowledge of the eternal wisdom from God. Even convincing words do not give you the assurance as long as you do not let the spirit speak within you, thus you are given information from within. Only then will the words conveyed to you from outside be accepted by you because you emotionally confess them, and only then will you be able to believe with conviction. If I convey My word to you but you don't directly request clarification from Me it is no proof of truth for you, and you humans will always oppose it with your own wisdom and be undecided as to what you should believe. Firm faith can only come when you want to believe yourselves, but you will never be forced to believe, instead it is merely the product of free will, so that faith can be acquired in itself if the will exists to be convinced. Thus the human being must want to believe in order to be able to believe.... the human being must feel so touched by the divine, which speaks from My word, that he will then use every opportunity to increase his knowledge and seriously think about it if it is offered to him from Me. Then he will recognize in a clear spirit what he can accept and what he must reject.

Amen
