5980 God's blessing on redemptive work.... souls in the afterlife....

June 19, 1954: Book 65

People will be guided into your path to whom you are to bring My word, you yourselves will be guided such that you will be able to redeem yourselves. You are surrounded by souls who likewise receive My word through you, and My spirit will always descend upon you if you want to work for Me and My kingdom, because this redemptive work is most important in the last days before the end and therefore also receives My blessing. And truly, no effort is in vain, for there is always success in the kingdom of the beyond, because even the smallest glimmer of light is evaluated there.... because there are always souls which have already reached the degree that they derive their benefit from every spiritual activity on your part. As soon as you want to serve Me you are surrounded by a glimmer of light which attracts souls, and therefore you should not become tired or indifferent in your work for My kingdom, even if you can observe little earthly success.... you do not work in vain, and every thought, every word, every stroke of the pen has its effect and brings redemption to the souls on earth or in the spiritual kingdom. It just has to be done with the serious will to serve Me and to help redeem erring souls. This spiritual work must not be based on calculation or self-love, for everything is clear before Me, even the most secret thought in a human heart, and the will of redemption alone, the complete subordination of the will to Mine, evaluates the work and the success.... Therefore you should not slacken in your striving, even if obstacles confront you from all sides or you seem to be active without any success.... You cannot see this success but it exists, and one day you will happily see the blessing of your work when you are received in the spiritual kingdom by the multitudes of souls redeemed by you.... And the more eagerly you carry out your vineyard work, the more lovingly you take care of the souls which still dwell in darkness, the more sincere your desire is to help these souls, the more blessed your redemption work will be, and you yourselves will also be blessed and blessed, because every spiritual activity will earn you My love and also secure you every kind of help. Admittedly, you will increasingly experience rejection from people, for the spiritual low increases in the time before the end, and this alone already indicates the nearness of the end and the truth of My words. You will be ridiculed and blasphemed because of your spiritual activity, people will try to prevent you from spreading My word, you will be persecuted and tempted through many earthly tribulations to fall away and to testify against Me.... Don't let yourselves be disturbed by this, remember that I have foretold it to you and know that then the end will come, that you are close, that I Myself will come to deliver you from great adversity, as I have promised. You will recognize by the success of your vineyard work on earth which hour has come, for you still have individual successes to record, but then hardly anyone will listen to you in good will who does not yet belong to your small flock, and you will have to stand firmly together and strengthen each other in faith.... But My word will always sound to you so that you will not lose your bond with Me when the world oppresses you and the spiritual light will only shine very dimly in this world. But where My word sounds it shines brightly into infinity and attracts those who desire light, and to these you can now give what your fellow human beings spurn.... And every soul that finds salvation through you will thank you eternally....

Amen
