5121 Power of faith.... love makes faith lively....

May 1, 1951: Book 57

A believing earthly child achieves everything with Me, for I will not let its faith fail. And so you, who want to serve Me by spreading the gospel, must test the strength of faith if you want to be extraordinarily successful with your fellow human beings. You have to put into practice what you teach, and thus, if you stand up for faith, you also have to prove what a strong faith is capable of. With Me you are able to do everything.... And you should believe that you accomplish everything with My help, that I am present to you and work together with you, thus nothing can fail for you. If you request strength from Me I will never deny it to you, you may make unlimited use of My strength; you only have to believe that you do nothing on your own but everything with Me.... Then you can tackle everything and you will succeed in everything. Again and again I encourage you to develop this strong faith within yourselves, because then you will have gained everything on earth which you still need.... and because a strong faith is the testimony for the truth of My teaching which you should proclaim to your fellow human beings during the time which precedes the end. If you are so profoundly devout yourselves then you can also prove the strength of faith to your fellow human beings, and you will be recognizable to everyone as an emissary in My name, you will then prove the divinity of the teaching which you spread in My name. A strong faith will secure you many followers, but if you doubt the success of an undertaking yourselves how will you then win over your fellow human beings for My teaching. But a strong faith is only gained through love, for this makes faith come alive. You will be able to believe if you live in love.... Thus weak faith is still a sign of a lack of love, and this is what ails people who are unable to believe. Always bear this in mind: Love gives life to faith.... Then you will also have the simplest means to attain faith. Practice neighbourly love.... and thereby draw Me Myself to you, My presence gives you security and awareness of strength, and in this awareness you consider everything possible, whatever you want to do. And therefore also teach your fellow human beings that they can only attain strong faith through a life of love, but that strong faith is absolutely necessary in order to become master over all external onslaughts in the coming time, and that strong faith in My help is never without success, that the human being is even able to work miracles, for then he will no longer work alone but in union with Me, and he must succeed in everything.... For I will not let a strong faith go to waste....

Amen
