5443 Spiritual drought - water of life.... Awakening spiritual hunger....

July 20, 1952: Book 60

You are to seize every opportunity to be active for Me and My kingdom. Spiritual hunger is to be awakened, you are to hand out small pieces and, believing in Me, always be certain of My blessing so that your work will be successful. There is a great spiritual drought, a spiritual desert where no life thrives, and into this desert you are to bring fruitfulness.... an endeavour which seems almost impossible and yet is possible if the living water is supplied to it, if something truly life-awakening is carried into the desert and careful care is given to the emerging seed, if My Word, the right water of life, is carried with much love and patience to wherever people's hearts are barren and empty and in need of a new revival. The spiritual hunger in people's hearts must be stirred and therefore the bread of heaven must be brought to them so that they can reach for it and refresh themselves.... Only a few make the attempt, but these will never regret it, for they receive something precious that they no longer want to give away. No spiritual gift remains ineffective once it has been received as nourishment for the soul. Anyone who receives it in the desire for spiritual nourishment will also experience strengthening and gratefully recognise it as the bread of heaven, he will supply his soul with living water and truly turn a desert of the heart into fertile soil, he will feel the flow of divine love and open himself to it, and he will never again go hungry, for as soon as he desires nourishment for his soul he will also receive it. I will send My messengers to him so that they will give him what he needs for his soul. And therefore you should be constantly active, for the spiritual hardship is great and only My Word can give people what they need in order to reduce it....

Amen
