5938 Connection with God.... earth task....

April 22, 1954: Book 64

Your task and aim on earth is to establish the connection with Me.... Again and again I want to present this to you, because without Me you cannot start anything and achieve anything.... Although earthly you also feel capable of pursuing your aims on your own, even then it is only My permission, for as soon as I withdraw your strength you are completely powerless, even though you are alive. And this must already be obvious to you if you are approached by illnesses which you cannot control.... These illnesses are mostly evidence of your weakness which you believe you can manage without Me, and they are opportunities to establish contact with Me and call upon Me for help, thus for the supply of strength which you lack. If you consciously draw the strength to deal with earthly matters from Me, the supply of strength will also benefit you spiritually, for My strength has the effect that it leads back to Me again.... Every conscious receipt of strength through previous prayer, which therefore signifies an established connection with Me, is already a spiritual process, a spiritual illumination which also has a spiritual effect.... even though it was requested for earthly matters.... But anyone who believes that he does not need My support.... who does not believe in Me as the source of strength from eternity, from Whom every human being can draw strength without limitation.... stands isolated in My creation, and he can be driven to and fro like a ball, because he has no opposing strength which gives him support, whereas the connection with Me, the leaning on Me, earns him his own strength which always increases the closer he pushes towards Me. As long as a being is still isolated from Me it is also unstable, and only as long as it is silent around this being will it stand upright and therefore believe that it can assert itself through its own strength.... But as soon as a storm starts it cannot hold on, and it inevitably becomes a victim of the storm until it seeks a foothold, a support, until a strength comes to its aid by which it wants to be helped.... But the will also means connection with this power. And you must seek this connection, you must establish it, you must consciously turn to the strength so that it will fulfil you.... You must establish contact with Me so that I can impart to you what you lack and yet need in order to reach your aim. You humans are not sufficiently aware of the blessing of prayer.... you don't know that every right prayer means leaning on Me.... you don't know that you have then left the state of isolation, that you now have solid ground under your feet and that this ground is Me on Whom you now stand firmly and securely and need no longer fear any resistance.... You have everything if you have Me.... And you possess Me if you earnestly unite with Me in prayer.... because prayer in spirit and in truth also secures My presence for you.... And My presence means an influx of strength, My presence also means unity, the attainment of the aim on earth.... it means strength of resistance against all attempts from below to separate you from Me again. Whether I, your God and creator, become a concept for you on earth, that you seek contact with Me, is entirely up to your will.... Yet I will create enough opportunities for you where you will be pointed to your God and creator, Who wants to be your father but to Whom you must go of your own accord and voluntarily submit yourselves to Him as children.... Then you will establish the connection with Me and then you will also safely reach your aim, for then you will receive strength from Me in abundance....

Amen
