6960 God's courtship of servants for His vineyard....

November 4, 1957: Book 74

I Myself assign the work to My servants which they are capable of doing and which they will always do successfully if only they willingly follow My instructions. I alone know where the plough has to be placed, I alone know the nature of the field and what kind of seed it can take up in order to bear fruit.... And thus I also always lead My servants to where their work is needed.... I always guide My servants on earth into the path where right vineyard work is to be done. And therefore the individual person's path of life will always be guided by Me so that everyone can enter My servants' sphere at some point, the right guides will step into every person's path, every person will have the grace that his heart's field can be planted with good seed if only he does not resist and deny My servants entry into his sphere.... I truly always find ways and means when I see that a person is in spiritual and earthly adversity. And in order to control the spiritual adversity I will again and again hire labourers for My vineyard, because many servants are needed who shall help Me to cultivate the soil for My sowing even in the last hour, for the time of harvest will soon have come.... (4.11.1957) That much still has to be done in this last time I keep telling you, My servants. And none of My servants should think that their work is dispensable, for the spiritual hardship is very great and there are only a few who offer to help Me. Yet the world of light is also constantly active but it needs your help because you first have to establish contact with your fellow human beings so that the beings of light can then intervene. For people are rarely willing to exchange the earthly sphere of thought for the spiritual one, yet their thoughts must first be directed into the spiritual kingdom if they want to make contact with the spiritual world or if the beings of light want to mentally influence people. And you, My servants on earth, can accomplish this by talking about the kingdom which is not yet a real concept to people, which seems unreal to them and yet is the kingdom which alone has reality, which is everlasting and shall one day become the abode of all people. But people who are still without any knowledge, whose thoughts only have purely earthly aims, these are the fields which are to be cultivated, which is certainly hard work which requires patience and perseverance and for which I have hired you in the last days before the end. It is hard work, for the resistance is often very great, but I will also give you the necessary strength, I will give you the right tools, I will provide you with seed which promises the best fruit.... And therefore it is certainly possible to transform those fields into good soil but it requires a great deal of love.... Love for Me, your lord, and love for your neighbour who, in his present state, is only to be pitied and needs help, and therefore not everyone is suitable, not everyone is willing to tackle this difficult work because he lacks love.... But I constantly solicit their services and I will truly reward My servants well, for time is short.... Soon night will fall where no more work can be done. The day will soon come to an end, but as long as it is still day, the light of the day shall also still be used. That is why My call for workers who want to create and work in My vineyard according to their lord's instructions keeps ringing out. Yet I can only use those who adhere to My instructions, because I alone know in which way a rich yield can still be achieved, and because I also know how much time is left until the harvest is brought in. And therefore I will bless every servant who wants to serve Me, and he will truly not do any work in vain, no matter how arduous it may seem to him and he himself cannot see any success. His love for Me and his neighbour will ensure his success, and he will not need to fear the night either, because he will have accomplished his day's work at the right time....

Amen
