4671 Incomprehensible value of the word of God.... supply greatest gift of grace....

June 17, 1949: Book 53

Nothing can prove My love to you more vividly than My word, nothing can lead you more safely to the aim than My word, nothing gives you as much insight into My reign and activity as My word. And therefore My word should be desired with all senses, it should be requested as the most precious gift and accepted with heartfelt gratitude, for nothing else can replace it.... It is the emanation of Myself and consequently must also be of greatest effectiveness. And yet, it is not recognized and used according to its value, and the human being remains distant from the aim he should strive to achieve. For truly, I say to you that you must do the will of the one Who created you, you must not close yourselves off or turn away from Me, and if you want to do My will you must listen to Me. As My children you must listen to what the father says to you, for only love determines Me to reveal Myself, and you must not reject My love or you will remain powerless and ignorant, thus remaining in spiritual darkness. But if you listen to Me you will enter a state of light from which you will never be able to sink back into darkness. You can only constantly increase the degree of light because, if you listen to My word, you will come into contact with the source of light. (18.6.1949) You will now be constantly fed with light and strength, for if you listen to Me, thus receive My word, you receive Me Myself, Who is the word from eternity. You do not yet understand this and are therefore not aware of the great grace which the transmission of My word signifies for you.... that I Myself make contact with you in a certain visible form, that you have evidence of a body of thought in your hands which contains comprehensive knowledge, that you can therefore provide evidence of having been instructed from above. This applies to My directly received word where I obviously reveal Myself. But even if you receive My word in another way it will radiate its strength to you who receive it in your desire to hear Me. Through your heart's desire My spirit will pour over you, your thinking will be right, your knowledge will correspond to truth and everything imparted to you through My word will be understanding. You always make contact with the source of light and strength if you request light and strength, and the supply always happens through My word, regardless of whether it is received directly, through reading or through hearing My messengers. I Myself am present to you in the word, and this alone guarantees that you will not go away empty-handed. In the word I Myself descend to you and, as father, bring My children the bread of life which they need as nourishment for their souls.... The word means everything.... food and drink, light and strength, love and wisdom.... and whoever has My word can no longer perish eternally, it is My flesh and My blood, bread and wine from heaven, it is the outflow of My love, for the word is I Myself....

Amen
