7111 The word resounds throughout infinity....
May 4, 1958: Book 76
The gospel is also preached to the souls in the kingdom of the beyond.... For My word sounds constantly in the spiritual kingdom, and My word is the gospel of love, My word is the supply of light and strength which all beings in the spiritual kingdom also receive, partly for constant happiness but partly also for attaining a state of maturity which also then allows the souls to carry out an activity which they can only do in a certain degree of light. My gospel has to be preached to the souls still languishing in the abyss just as it is on earth, for they first have to be slowly brought to the point where they learn to recognize My will and gain faith in Me and My act of salvation. Only this basic knowledge can let a soul ascend from the abyss into the light, providing it accepts it, providing it is willing to listen to the messengers of the gospel.... For further knowledge can only be imparted to such souls when they give up their former resistance and thus allow themselves to be taught.... Only then will it be possible for them to hear My word when it sounds out into infinity, for My light constantly shines for all beings, and light is realization, light is knowledge which corresponds to truth. The activity of all beings of light, in turn, consists of radiating that which they constantly receive.... Thus light will also be guided into dark areas, both in the spiritual kingdom as well as on earth.... It will find access everywhere where beings open themselves to My radiation of light of love.... or also: My gospel will be able to be heard on earth as well as in the spiritual kingdom by all who are of good will.... The disaster or spiritual adversity solely consists of the fact that the beings are surrounded by darkness which cannot be chased away by anything other than My divine light of love.... but if there is no will to escape this darkness, the light can never break through either.... and if people on earth or the immature souls in the beyond are not willing to listen to My word, My gospel of love, and to take notice of My will, they will never think, want and act in accordance with this will either and thus remain in everlasting darkness. And once again it is the beings of light in the spiritual kingdom who now unfold their activity, who again and again try to pass on the light beamed to them.... who try to mentally influence those unwilling beings and with utmost perseverance and patience, with ever-increasing love, also sometimes achieve that they make themselves heard.... The work of redemption in the spiritual kingdom is therefore predominantly the activity of those beings of light who constantly hear My word which makes them inconceivably happy and constantly increases their degree of light, their realization. And every being of light gladly undertakes the task of also descending into dark regions in order to let sparks of light flash there for the time being and to enliven the beings in darkness in their dead state through barely noticeable illuminations, without, however, determining them willingly to follow them from the abyss up to the light.... But they are already gaining some influence and short teachings are accepted, albeit reluctantly at first. And thus My gospel will be proclaimed everywhere but will be most easily acceptable to the human being during earthly life, because he will find support on the part of the spiritual guides and therefore he can find his way out of the spiritual darkness far more easily than is the case in the beyond when the soul has taken the path to the abyss.... For this reason I also let My word reach people from above, which can also give light to those who don't hear it directly from Me themselves and let them easily find the path to eternal light if their resistance is not so great that their hearts close themselves against every ray of love from above.... And My gospel will only ever be the teaching of love, because only through love can the being reach the light. And love will remain the first and last law on earth and in the spiritual kingdom, for I cannot be reached other than through love, no being will be able to reach Me other than through love, and only in love will the unification with Me be able to take place, which is light and strength and bliss forever....
Amen
