7551 Faith can move mountains....
March 17, 1960: Book 80
Faith can move mountains.... But which of you humans has such strong faith? You are all still too weak in faith because you are also too weak in love, for only love gives faith strength, because love itself is strength.... And thus a person's degree of love will always determine how strong his faith is. And therefore it is also understandable why humanity can be called faithless, for love has grown cold amongst people and therefore there can be no true, living faith where love is missing. But where faith is no longer to be found humanity also lives in profound spiritual darkness, for it cannot be given bright knowledge, and the spiritual knowledge imparted to people is not believed.... and faithless humanity lives in deepest darkness, whereas everything is bright and clear for a person who has gained a living faith through love. And this person only needs to increase his degree of love in order to attain a faith which can move mountains. Yet there are only a few people on this earth who possess such strong faith, and these are also capable of unusual activity which always expresses their high degree of love. They will be able to heal the sick, they will be able to work miracles, for the strength of their faith unites them even more closely with God so that, in union with Him, they will now also be able to accomplish everything their love commands them to do. For it will only ever be the working of love which arises from the strength of faith. The great, overpowering love drives them to help those who are in need, and the strength of faith also always ensures the success of their plan. Faith can move mountains.... Thus nothing is impossible for a person who calls such strong faith his own, which he has gained through love.... But people will always doubt it as long as they don't also live in love which has already earned them a faith which is alive, although it has only reached a low degree. Yet living faith is evidence of love, and love also gives light to the one who desires light.... And he will soon recognize the strength of faith, and it will no longer be difficult for him to have a living faith himself.... and then he only needs to increase his degree of love in order to also feel that the strength of his faith becomes ever stronger.... And then he will also stand up for what he believes with conviction, and he will feel his own strength growing and no longer doubt that a strong faith can also move mountains.... As soon as he has love he also possesses strength, and he can now use this strength as his love dictates.... He will turn it towards his neighbour who is in need, he will be able to help him where help often seems impossible, for he possesses a strong faith and does not work alone but with God Who is in him...._>Amen
