5809 Right thinking of a recipient of revelations....

November 21, 1953: Book 63

Whose thoughts I reveal Myself to I also guide correctly, for a revelation on My part is an expression of My spirit, which thus influences the human being's thoughts such that he now understands what I want to make known to him. A person who receives My word, who accepts it from Me Myself, must have a certain degree of maturity, otherwise the working of My spirit would be impossible.... and a certain degree of maturity also ensures right thinking, right understanding and right rendering of what the human being received through My spirit. I want to tell you that you may unhesitatingly believe that your own thinking does not distort what is given by Me in purest form.... You may unhesitatingly believe that a recipient of revelations is already trained by Me according to his task and that this can happen because he himself subordinates his will to Mine and the subordination of the will to Mine now also means thinking, wanting and acting according to My will. My will is, as it were, effective in him, and his intellectual thinking will now also correspond to My will, for My spirit controls him and My spirit cannot give anything but truth.... Where I reveal Myself the bond between the human being and Me is already established and therefore purest truth is guaranteed.... And it only remains for you humans to test whether it is Me Who reveals Myself to a human being.... Yet this examination should not only be carried out by the intellect but also by the heart.... you should pay attention to whether you feel addressed, you should let the meaning of a revelation have an effect on you, you should not only examine the sense of the letter intellectually, and you will feel who is speaking to you if you only question the heart. For when I speak to you My address must touch you as strength; but if the words are not of divine origin then your intellect will be more addressed but the heart will remain untouched. But where the heart rejoices and exults, where it happily presses towards Me, there is a guarantee for a flow of strength conveyed from above, for a divine revelation, which therefore also guarantees fullest truth. I want to make you humans happy with My word, and thus you must also be permeated by a feeling of happiness in order to be able to recognize Me Myself in My word.... I want to give you something.... I want to give you My love, thus you must also be blessed by My gift, your heart, if it opens, must also be filled and feel love for the giver.... But all this can only trigger purest truth in a person's heart, because purest truth comes from above, from Me as the original source of truth, and because everything that comes from Me must also have a positive effect on the person. And thus you can already recognize the value of the revelations by the effect alone.... You can recognize by the effect of what is offered to you whether it is to be valued as divine revelation.... You must ask your heart and your heart will tell you, for a revelation on My part only ever appeals to the heart and then to the intellect as well if it joins the heart....

Amen
