7554 Urgent address to vineyard workers....

March 20, 1960: Book 80

My blessing will truly not fail to come to all who want to serve Me in the last days before the end.... If I repeatedly admonish you to diligently work in the vineyard, there is certainly a reason for it, for I know about the great spiritual hardship which can only be controlled through spiritual help, which consists precisely of My word being conveyed to people. I want to address everyone, but not everyone opens his ear and heart to hear Me Myself. And therefore I have to speak to them through mediators, I have to make use of you who have easier access to fellow human beings, and you now have to speak instead of Me wherever possible. And thereby you render Me a service which I alone can measure in its value. All people are My children whom I want to win before the end. But all people have free will and therefore I must also allow them the freedom of thought, will and action. And they often abuse this and I cannot stop them. Only through you can I send them admonitions and warnings, only through you can I draw their attention to their actual earthly task, only through you can I impart My teaching of love to them. And therefore I need you, and I bless every activity which applies to this vineyard work.... And you should not worry about your earthly and spiritual well-being, for like a good householder I will take care of My servants who serve Me voluntarily. I Myself will assign the work to you, I will guide you to the people you should work on in the vineyard, I will direct your thoughts correctly so that you speak where it is necessary and that you remain silent where your work would be useless.... You need only ever rely on My guidance as soon as you entrust yourselves to My guidance, as soon as you are willing to serve Me. You should not miss a single day when you can work for Me and My kingdom, for the time is approaching when you will have to make your decision, when you will all have to confess for or against Me. And then it will be difficult to work in the vineyard, then everyone will have to entrust himself to Me so that he will stand firm in the last battle of faith on this earth.... And then you shall have already scattered much seed in the hearts of your fellow human beings which will then also sprout and bear fruit when the adversity is great and they will be able to recognize the strength of a strong faith in yourselves. Work on the souls of your fellow human beings, and work on yourselves.... accumulate much strength which you will be able to receive abundantly through your service for Me.... Serve Me with all your strength and it will only be a blessing for you, and you will contribute towards the salvation of many souls which need help to be guided onto the right path. Serve Me with all love, and then you will also serve your neighbour and help him in spiritual adversity. For this is great and can only be reduced if you convey My word to your fellow human beings, which is blessed with My strength.... For then I Myself will be able to speak to them through you and many a heart will still open itself to My word and be saved from death...._>Amen
