5250 Blessed vineyard work.... succession....

November 5, 1951: Book 58

A tremendous amount of work still has to be done, and therefore I raise servants and handmaidens for Myself everywhere who shall and also are able to do this vineyard work because they have the will to serve Me. I take each individual person's ability into account and their tasks are corresponding, the way they work is corresponding too, but it always consists of moving their fellow human beings to love and believe in Me. As soon as a person himself is in living contact with Me he can also influence his fellow human being and cause him to have the same relationship with Me, and that is what is particularly necessary, that people learn to believe in a God Who wants to be their father and is therefore very close to them, thus should not be sought in form. The dead formal faith is to be discarded and a living faith gained instead, and many of My servants and handmaidens can contribute to this by repeatedly emphasizing their own connection with Me and making Me known as a loving father who cares for His earthly children. But they should also show them the right path which leads to such a living faith, they should always preach love and thus point out to their fellow human beings that the God of love can also only be won through love and that love alone awakens faith to life.... They should be an example themselves, helpful in every spiritual and earthly adversity, just in thought and action and never give cause for rejection through a way of life which is not pleasing to Me. The work for Me and My kingdom can only be done by those who make an effort to follow Me, to live a life of love as I exemplified to them on earth. And only such people can be successful with their fellow human beings, for only speeches are of little use, yet living out what they preach will inspire discipleship. And therefore all of you who want to be of service to Me should make an effort to live a right life of love, and the influence on your surroundings will be unmistakable, then you will quietly yet successfully carry out vineyard work which I bless through My presence.... You will then successfully participate in the recovery of erring souls in the last days before the end....

Amen
