6326 Love light from God.... His word....

August 5, 1955: Book 68

Only My word is the right light from heaven, only My word contains the strength to lead the human being to realization, for My word is the right light of love from Me which can enlighten you and lead you to perfection. And this word has now become a source of grace for you humans from which you may draw unlimited light and strength.... These words are incomprehensible to the mere intellect but the heart will be able to understand them.... For only the inner life will be touched and changed, although the intellect can also benefit from My word, for many things will become clear to it which it previously did not want to hear. Yet the heart must always be willing to accept My word first.... And the willingness of the heart consists of the human being's thoughts being directed towards establishing a connection with Me, which then takes place through My word.... The human being must want to hear Me, then he will also derive the right benefit from every word, then every word will convey light and strength to him because they are direct emanations of My light and My strength. Without knowledge you humans are in darkness.... and even though you are earthly in abundance of light.... You are completely ignorant of the purpose of your earthly life, what your task is and what aim has been set for you.... You know nothing of the effect of your way of life, of a future beatitude or damnation.... You certainly live on earth but only a purely physical life which can end any day. If you lack all knowledge earthly life can also become a torment for you, because it does not bring you the fulfilment you long for due to your ignorance.... My word, however, imparts this knowledge to you about the meaning and purpose of your earthly life, My word gives you the knowledge of the aim you should strive for, of the beatitude you can achieve and the consequences of a life contrary to My will.... My word gives you knowledge about this will of Mine, and My word also gives you the strength at the same time to live your life according to My will.... Thus My word imparts light and strength to you which the soul feels for the first time, which affects the inner life.... but can also change the external human being in this way, because the human being's intellect allows itself to be conquered by the light and strength of My word and now the human being lives a conscious life in My divine order. Where it was dark before, bright light will now shine.... where there was a lack of strength, all weakness will be remedied. And earthly life will now no longer be recognized as an end in itself but as a means to an end and can already bring the human being final perfection on earth if he constantly draws strength from the source of life, if he constantly draws and constantly receives light and strength from Me, if he longs for My word, listens to My word and complies with it.... Then he will never fall back into darkness again, then he will have emerged from the night into the light of day, and he can now work according to My will on earth already and one day in the spiritual kingdom....

Amen
