5439 Training of teachers by God Himself.... Servants....

July 15, 1952: Book 60

I need many servants and handmaidens, for My vineyard is large and there is much work to be done, yet I can only employ willing servants who are wholeheartedly devoted to Me for this work, servants who fulfil My will in everything, who only adhere to their Master's instructions because I alone know what work has to be done in order to be successful. Anyone who acts on his own authority is not suitable for My vineyard work, nor does he do Me any service with it, but is far more likely to spoil what was good before. You, My servants and handmaidens, are to fulfil My will in everything and thus abide by what is clearly recognisable to you as My will.... You should lovingly proclaim the Gospel to your fellow human beings which you have received from Me Myself.... But for this work I train My teachers Myself.... And thus only those shall teach whom My wisdom has recognised as suitable for it and whom My love has placed into the degree of knowledge that they can now teach on My behalf.... Every human being can indeed preach love, yet I want people to gain a degree of realisation through you, whom I therefore send out into the world; it goes without saying that they can only gain this realisation if they fulfil My commandments of love, but the knowledge of the correlations shall also be made accessible to people so that they will learn to love Me and then also fulfil My commandments of their own accord. The meaning and purpose of earthly life shall be explained to people, they shall know why they are on earth and what they should do in order to successfully complete their earthly life, they shall know about the correlation of everything created, of which they themselves are a part, with Me.... they shall come to a realisation through this knowledge which will bring blessings to their soul.... I want you, My servants, to instruct people so that the truth will be made accessible to them, because they live in the midst of error and lies and therefore lack all knowledge which would influence their way of life for the better. However, the fact that you are able to carry out such an instructive activity for your fellow human beings also presupposes corresponding knowledge on your part, and therefore only someone who has received this knowledge from Me Myself is suitable for it. Only someone who has been given light by Me can carry out his ministry as a bearer of light himself, and this represents vineyard work of utmost importance, for the activity of such a labourer is, so to speak, an eradication of weeds, a cultivation of the field in which the good seed is then to be planted.... a preparation of the human heart to receive My Word, which I Myself convey to earth.... Much work is still to be done and therefore I accept everyone as a servant who makes this Word sent to earth his own, who accepts it into his heart and, in the will to serve Me, passes it on likewise. The end is near and much land is still fallow, countless labourers are still needed, yet they should not act arbitrarily but always wait for My instruction which, however, they will feel in their hearts if they are willing to do real vineyard work for Me.... To spread My pure Word, which I only convey to earth because people are without knowledge, without true realisation, and because I pity them in their spiritual darkness, because I therefore send messengers who shall bring them the Gospel in My name, the pure divine teaching of love, which alone shows them the path to eternal life....

Amen
