7275 Convincingly spreading the truth.... right doctrine....

February 5, 1959: Book 77

You, who have come into possession of the truth yourselves, shall stand up for the truth.... And the fact that you live in truth is guaranteed to you by your receipt of My word, which originates from Me Myself as the eternal truth. Hence you can be certain that you are offered truth, and therefore you can also pass this truth on from Me with the same certainty, you can impart it to your fellow human beings without hesitation and also advocate with all conviction that you only spread purest truth. You will not lack this inner conviction as soon as you take your work for Me and My kingdom seriously, for at the same time as My word you also receive the power of judgment, at the same time as the truth you also receive the gift of recognizing the truth, and therefore you can also vividly represent this word of Mine because you know that you are instructed by Me Myself, Who alone can offer you the truth. But it is also necessary that the truth is spread because it alone gives light and because the earth is in deepest darkness, i.e. people have taken possession of error and lies and cannot release themselves from this darkness unless the path is illuminated for them.... which is only ever possible through the light of truth. In the last days the spiritual darkness will become ever more dense, people will be blind in spirit, they will not recognize anything and not know about the correlations, they will also not know about the one Who can guide them to the light, Who wants to lead them to the eternal light, to the brightest realization of truth from Me. And therefore My word shall be brought to them through you who receive it directly from Me.... Again and again you should open yourselves to receive My word, you should pass it on in such a way that it will not be changed and thus the pure truth will be distorted again, as very often happens on the part of people. You should teach and let yourselves be taught, for only he who has a right teaching material himself will pass it on and bring blessings. And therefore you should not work with knowledge which you have received elsewhere but only pay attention to My instructions and proclaim My words to fellow human beings who desire them. You cannot open yourselves up to Me often enough so that I can let My spirit flow into you.... My gift of grace, My word, cannot be offered to you often enough, for the light in you shall increase, it shall shine ever brighter, and this is only possible if your heart lets light shine into it again and again, if the flame flares up ever brighter and finally can completely illuminate the heart.... But then it will also be easy to spread and advocate the truth, then the human being will speak with utmost conviction what was conveyed to him by Me Myself. And as a living representative of My word he will also be successful with his fellow human beings, for they will be able to hear Me Myself, albeit through the mouth of My servant who speaks to them. Only the light of truth can make people happy, whereas every knowledge which lacks pure truth remains misunderstood and will not bring light. But humanity languishes in darkness, the soul cannot mature without truth, it cannot find the right path if everything around it is darkened, and it cannot recognize the cross of Christ either, which is only recognizable to the one who walks in truth, whereas it remains an empty sign without meaning and purpose to the others because they do not recognize the meaning and purpose of the cross. The truth must first provide enlightenment, the truth must first illuminate the incomprehensible sacrifice which the divine redeemer made for humanity. And for this reason alone the truth must be spread, because the cross of Christ cannot be ignored by the one who wants to become blessed. But a person will not go to the cross of Christ who does not know its deepest meaning and who has never been given proper light about the man Jesus, in Whom I Myself offered the sacrifice on the cross for all people. I Myself make such obvious contact with you humans that I speak to you in order to enable you to receive truth and clarity about that sacrifice on the cross, in order to illuminate the path for you on which you can ascend to the height, to beatitude, if you walk this path in accordance with My word, which leads out of the darkness of night into the light of day but which is only taken if the human being accepts the truth which is offered to him by Me in an unusual way. And you, My disciples of the end time, should zealously advocate this truth and know that you are thereby fulfilling a task which is equal to the task of My first disciples whom I 'sent out into all the world'..... Guide all people back to the pure truth and know that it alone is the light which leads out of darkness and makes them eternally blessed....

Amen
