7815 Vineyard work has a redemptive effect in the afterlife....

February 3, 1961: Book 82

You, My messengers, must always appeal for My blessing; you may not tackle any spiritual work without having appealed to Me for My support and My blessing, for you require great support from Me so that you can fulfil your task. Yet I know about your will and am always ready to help, for your work is extremely important since it is to convey My word to people which sounds to you from above. People no longer attach any importance to the book of books; it is nothing more than other books for them, even though it contains the most important things, even though it announces My will and informs people about their purpose of earthly life. But they no longer respect it as 'God's word' or they would live more responsibly. And therefore I want to point them to their earthly task again, I want to proclaim My will to them again, I want to familiarize them with the divine teaching of love and make the knowledge of their relationship with their God and creator accessible to them.... I want to bring them 'My word' again in order to direct their thoughts towards the spiritual kingdom so that their souls will mature in this earthly life. And therefore I need you to pass on My word, which sounds to you directly from above.... to those who willingly accept it, whose hearts I know and whom I therefore want to address through you. And you need strength for this work for Me and My kingdom, but I will gladly impart it to you at any time because you want to utilize it in My will, because you declare your willingness to be active for Me and My kingdom. But you should also never neglect to approach Me for My blessing, for again and again you want to seek Me in close contact; I want you to appeal to Me because I want to grant your requests so that you will also recognize your God and creator as your father Who only ever wants to make His children happy. And I will always be with you with My blessing, I will guide you so that you will always take the right path, I will direct your thoughts so that they are right and pleasing to Me, I will increase your strength so that you will always be able to do the right work for Me, and you should never be despondent that you might lack strength. For you do not know to what extent your strength has a redeeming effect. Yet be satisfied with My assurance that countless souls will receive strength when you are spiritually active. For this is My blessing which rests on your activity, that it is not done in vain, that it has an effect which you are unable to estimate, for the spiritual world knows no limits, and the effect of your activity extends into this spiritual world, and therefore it will also be blessed by Me. Not only do you serve Me, you also serve your brothers and sisters who are still in need in the spiritual kingdom, and they will be eternally grateful to you, for only then will they recognize where they can fetch the true light and truly take advantage of every opportunity to receive spiritual nourishment, which they all need. But they can only be helped by people who intimately unite with Me, so that My strength will now also be made accessible to them through them, because they are not yet mature enough to receive it directly, because the law of eternal order has to be adhered to.... because love has to develop if the unfortunate is to be helped, and thus you offer this love to Me vicariously if you are willing to help the souls which are in spiritual hardship. And for the sake of your love they will also be helped.... And My blessing will rest on every spiritual activity, for this will then also have a redeeming effect...._>Amen
