5202 Increasing strength through work in love and prayer....
September 3, 1951: Book 58
Increase the strength within yourselves by approaching Me and receiving the strength from Me in the form of My word. For with every word you receive from Me it flows to you and gives your soul the strength that its striving towards Me becomes ever more intimate and thus it unites with the spirit within itself, which is part of Me Myself. You are unable to do anything without My strength, and even the striving towards Me comes forth from My strength. Thus My strength must first become effective in you before the conscious striving for Me begins, and you can only gain strength through loving activity. Anyone who is of good and pure heart also lives in love and thus constantly acquires strength from Me. Yet he also requests strength from Me through prayer, and then it will flow to him and he will feel it as an impetus for loving activity. Then he will increase the strength he has requested from Me. Yet you should not grow weary and constantly take care of the increase of strength, you should draw the strength from the source.... you should recognize My word as the outflow of that source and therefore desire My word with all your senses, for then you will be able to acquire an abundance of strength so that you will effortlessly reach your earthly aim. But you can do nothing without Me.... You can do nothing without My strength.... You may seem to be able to achieve great success on earth but you will have to do without everything for eternity if you don't receive strength from Me. You are truly at a great advantage compared to your fellow human beings who pass by without strength and later also enter the kingdom of the beyond without strength. And yet they can so easily procure strength through heartfelt prayer or through loving activity. For whose soul has received strength also has understanding for My love and grace, he has understanding for truth, and he walks a path which leads upwards because the eternal truth draws him, which knows about his will to approach. And this soul will not rest until it is seized by the strength of love, until the light of wisdom shines through it, until it hears My word directly or through My messengers, for the strength of love seeks to increase, it wants to work in abundance in the human being, for it is divine strength which is never inactive and which again and again generates new strength.... Receive My word and then you will also have visible evidence that you are permeated by divine strength, you will have a sign of My love which draws you to itself, you will no longer be powerless, you will now be able to take a path yourselves which leads to the aim, because you have dismissed all weakness through your connection with the source of strength from which you can constantly draw. Increase your strength and be constantly active in love, then I Myself can work in you and provide you with unlimited strength....
Amen
