6129 Preaching the gospel to those who need spiritual consolation and to souls in the hereafter....

December 8, 1954: Book 66

And also proclaim the gospel to the souls in the beyond, for they urgently need it as long as they are not yet in the light and only attain the degree through My word that they can enter the kingdom of light. As long as the souls possess nothing they cannot work in love, thus they cannot hand over anything either.... But if they receive light and strength through you they can now also give light and strength.... And light and strength are only conveyed to them by My word, which is given to all who are of good will on earth as well as in the beyond. You humans can establish the connection with the souls who have not yet established the connection with Me yourselves.... who are not yet able to hear My word, even if it sounds in the spiritual kingdom.... And so carry this word of Mine to them.... Remember those souls as soon as you yourselves are active on earth for Me and My kingdom.... Consider that these souls can also participate in your vineyard work, that they are more inclined to listen to you, with whom they still feel connected through your remembrance, than when they are confronted by a being of light in the beyond which they don't recognize as such and therefore don't easily accept what they want to offer them.... You can now build the bridge, you can present the gospel of love to them and instruct them to such an extent that they will first think about themselves and then their spiritual friends will also find access to them more easily, because then they will discuss their state with them and also accept advice.... If you recite My word to the souls you will rarely work unsuccessfully, for the pure word of God exerts an inconceivable effect on the souls which willingly listen to it.... For they suddenly understand what was previously incomprehensible to them, and they also grasp the truth more quickly.... they find the context much sooner than they would have found it on earth, for imperfect souls lack light, and this light now shines towards them from My word, so that the word cannot remain without effect unless completely unwilling souls resist, but these are also deprived of the light as soon as they rebel.... Remember all souls which were dear to you on earth.... But also remember the souls in darkness who languish in unspeakable torment and pray for them so that they will become more compliant, so that they will feel the strength of your love and come to you to be taught by you.... Offer much love to these souls and you will thereby loosen their bonds.... Call them all to you and let them participate in the spiritual exchange.... Give them food, for they suffer dreadfully from hunger and thirst and can only quench it with the bread of heaven which I Myself distribute but which they have to receive through you because they still turn away from Me.... yet without this food they can never attain strength and light.... What I give to you in abundance, distribute to those poor and wretched souls and I will bless you.... For My love also wants to redeem the souls from the depths, and your love shall help Me in this....

Amen
