5407 God shall become powerful in the weak....

June 8, 1952: Book 60

I want to become powerful in the weak.... and give you humans the proof that a power from above works so visibly that it can no longer be denied.... I do not want to reveal Myself to the great and mighty, for they are mostly not humble, which presupposes the working of My grace, and if they do something they believe they can accomplish it by their own strength.... But I want to reveal Myself to the weak, immature little children of this earth, to those who recognise their weakness and call upon Me in deepest humility to strengthen them. And My strength shall obviously work in them and they shall perform signs and wonders, just as I have announced that I shall become powerful in the weak. Yet in one thing they must be strong despite their weakness.... in their faith in Me as the most loving Father and most powerful ruler of heaven and earth. In this faith lies your strength, to which I Myself bow by fulfilling what the believing person hopes for.... I will not appear where I Am indeed known with many words but not alive, where people are in knowledge through study, where they believe to possess the privilege of being especially honoured by Me.... not in worldly heights, not in circles of great erudition, not where sham piety deceives people, shall I give signs of My power and glory; but where an earthly child devoutly raises its eyes and heart to Me in silent love for Me and calls upon Me in all simplicity, in childlike babbling, in the admission of its weakness and unworthiness, there I shall make Myself known and transmit My power and love in all fullness.... I shall become powerful in the weak so that the worldly strong and high shall recognise what I value during earthly life. And I will make knowledge accessible to them which cannot be gained through study and yet far surpasses the latter, for it is the truth which only I Myself can and will give to those who are worthy of it. But worthiness irrevocably includes humility, a believing childlike mind and a will that is seriously turned towards Me. You have to be able to muster childlike faith, you have to feel incapable of fathoming the truth by your own strength and therefore approach Me Myself for the truth, and this first requires the belief that I can and want to give you the truth. And this is a childlike belief, for a scholar who is highly placed in worldly knowledge will defend himself against such a belief, which destroys all his erudition if the pure truth were to be conveyed to the human being in this way.... And therefore, humility must also fill the human being's heart, which comes from the realisation: 'We are nothing without God....' Then a heartfelt prayer rises up to Me that I will take pity on the weak little children, and I will answer this call. I let My spirit descend and fill the weak, and thus I Myself become powerful in the weak, for My spirit unfolds and works in an obvious way, and anyone who wants to shall recognise Me and attain faith in a God Who is exceedingly wise, loving and powerful....

Amen
