6542 Right vineyard labour: Proclaiming the gospel....

May 9, 1956: Book 70

All My right instruments are under My protection, they are guided according to My will and will always be welcome servants in My vineyard, of which I still need many in the last days before the end. Anyone who therefore wants Me to take him on into My service can know that he is guided and protected by Me as long as he recognises his Lord in Me, as long as he is not fickle having not yet quite decided which lord he should serve.... And the human being should precisely be aware of the fact that he can very easily be enlisted in work which is not in My will.... if he pays attention to the directions of the one who is My adversary. There are only a few people who are so filled with love for Me and their fellow human beings that they willingly want to use their strength for the work of Salvation, which is My goal but has to be carried out with the cooperation of people.... where I Myself cannot emerge obviously.... who therefore, in their love, want to help Me and at the same time help the souls of the misguided to find their way to Me. Such a love enables them to hear My voice, My instructions, so clearly and distinctly that they will only ever work in My will. And these will never listen to My adversary's whispers, for his instructions are of a different nature.... In the end they always come down to an earthly material direction of purpose, and the souls of the needy derive little advantage from it. What must be done first for these needy souls and what is therefore the most important work in My vineyard is the proclamation of Jesus' teaching of love, the proclamation of the pure Gospel. This is necessary in the last period before the end.... And therefore I will keep on conveying the pure Gospel to earth, I will directly convey it to those who are suitable instruments for Me, who want to serve Me in love for Me and their neighbour. The sick souls can only recover through My word, which teaches them love as the most important thing.... thus the souls must be spoken to and.... because I cannot do this Myself on every soul.... willing servants must help Me, they must lend Me their mouths themselves so that I can express Myself through them. Understand that I only call those people My suitable instruments who hand themselves over to Me, that I make use of them in order to do what is necessary for the salvation of souls on earth or in the beyond, that they mature and take the path upwards, that they strive to reach Me as their goal. You humans shall speak to your fellow human beings in My stead and then you will be efficient servants in My vineyard. People shall be given knowledge which is beneficial for their souls, the knowledge about their earthly task and how they can fulfil this task.... This knowledge is enough for people to develop upwards, for their souls to mature, for them not to get lost.... And every person who contributes his share towards bringing this knowledge to his fellow human beings, every person who is able to receive the pure truth from Me and passes it on again unadulterated, is in fact My servant who need never fear to fulfil anyone else's will but Mine. But I Myself know what people need as nourishment for their souls, I know what is beneficial for their souls but also what is harmful to them.... But you humans do not know this, and therefore you should always be more eager to ask Me Myself for the right nourishment for your souls, you should not try to acquire intellectual knowledge which is worthless for your souls' development, even though it is intended to feign spiritual knowledge. The last days are very short and the spiritual hardship is unspeakably great, and anyone who wants to serve Me in truth should only inspire his fellow human beings to love and therefore live a life of love himself.... he should not tarry when it comes to standing up for My word, but he should not try to direct his fellow human beings' thoughts towards completely unimportant matters which, in view of the end, are of no value to the soul, for such thoughts are promoted by My adversary, whose endeavour is to prevent people from fulfilling what is most important.... from handing the soul the nourishment it needs in order to get out of his control. And he has many irons in the fire.... he will still present many things to you humans which want to worry your minds, which will make you forget what is most important.... And therefore you should always be careful whose voice you hear.... For all I want is the soul's salvation, but he only directs your thoughts towards what is of use to the body....

Amen
