5609 Effective medicine of the soul: God’s word....
February 22, 1953: Book 62
The recovery of a sick soul can only be achieved by a healing medicine, a medicine which contains everything the soul lacks, which has brought it into a state that expresses itself in weakness and suffering. The soul will only feel these sufferings and weaknesses upon its entry into the kingdom of the beyond, for previously the human being only pays attention to the body and all the soul's shortcomings recede in order to become even more prominent once it has discarded the body and only that remains which is the result of the earthly change.... the deficiently shaped soul, which now enters the kingdom of the beyond and experiences its poverty with extreme agony. It could have recovered on earth, i.e. it could have been provided with everything it lacked if the right medicine had already been given to it on earth, which would have shaped it well and could have put it into a strong state when the body passed away.... Yet it can still recover in the beyond through precisely this medicine, it can improve its weak, wretched state, albeit with greater effort than on earth, it can slowly make up for what it neglected to do on earth, yet never without the right remedy which will bring it strength and recovery. And this remedy is My word, which truly is the only medicine with a sure healing effect, which is indispensable for the soul, which gives it the right life, a life where it can create in light and strength and be blissfully happy.... The soul cannot live without My word, it can indeed vegetate, dull and wretched and completely powerless, because it cannot pass away, but it is not a life which requires activity and strength and light. With My word it accepts everything in order to be able to be active, for it accepts strength from Me directly and this strength impels it into activity, just as good medicine stimulates and invigorates the sick person so that he wants to take part in the work which appears to him as happiness. My word is simply the law of eternal order, and anyone who moves in My order from eternity will live, because a life is equal to activity according to My will. Anyone who violates My order either works wrongly or is prevented from working, he has become completely incapable of carrying out work.... My word is the divine law proclaimed to you which you must follow in order to be able to work in eternity. You must know about My law and therefore also listen to My word and live accordingly, then your soul will already have life within itself and can develop in the spiritual kingdom for its own and many souls' blessing. But if it arrives terminally ill in the beyond it lacks all strength for activity and is helpless and dependent on external help if it is not to sink into deepest darkness from which it can no longer free itself. There is no other means than this word of Mine, and even if intercession is made for these souls which are in distress.... it only helps to stimulate its will to open up when the means of salvation is handed to it.... For the soul must want it itself; no person on earth and no being in the beyond can take this decision of will away from it, it must inevitably turn to those itself who want to bring it the word which can heal and strengthen it. And you humans should pray for this will to become soft and compliant, and the soul will already feel this prayer as strength and accept the help offered to it. My gospel must be conveyed to all souls which want to attain eternal life.... For the acceptance of it is the entry into My eternal order and thus eternal life, for anyone who lives within My order will also be able to work according to My will, he will be able to work in strength and light and will no longer be dead in spirit but will live eternally....
Amen
