7998 Divine revelations in communities....
September 18, 1961: Book 84
All people who earnestly seek Me will find Me.... And this search must start from the heart, the human being must seriously communicate with his God and creator, with the power Which created him; he must acknowledge this power as a being and pray to this being, i.e. speak to Him in spirit and in truth.... This is all I ask of you in order to reveal Myself to you as well. And you can be certain that you will also gain a convinced faith in Me, in the being Who cannot be proven to you but Who nevertheless proves Himself through creation.... through everything you see around you. But you are often inclined to demand unusual proofs of Me.... you want to experience extraordinary things in order to be able to believe. You are not content to look for Me in silence but you want Me to give you signs through which you recognize Me. But then I would force your faith to a certain extent and your faith would be worthless. I require childlike faith from you which grows out of love and which alone is a matter of the heart.... For if the human being seeks Me, if he wants to make contact with the power Which created him, then he feels like a child and seeks his father.... and the father's love reveals itself to him, I address My child and thereby prove My presence to him, and I have now also gained My child's love which now unites us in time and eternity. I can certainly also give you obvious proofs, depending on the degree of your soul, but you cannot mechanically strive for such obvious proofs.... you cannot expect at mass events that all people are of the same degree of maturity, which would be the basic condition of an obvious manifestation of Myself.... What one person or a few feel who establish an intimate bond with Me in their hearts cannot be expected from whole communities whose members have differently matured souls and whose degree of love will also be completely different. Anyone who seriously strives towards Me will also draw Me to himself, for I Myself want unification with you, yet I cannot deviate from the conditions which a union with Me requires. And the first condition is the fulfilment of My commandments of love, which will inevitably also result in the outpouring of My spirit.... But this 'outpouring of the spirit' can take place in many different ways.... but My spirit is always active in the human being, the spiritual spark in the human being is always addressed by the father-spirit of eternity, and the human being will now think right, speak right and want and act right.... He will always live his way of life in My will, he will have the right understanding for spiritual knowledge, he will always carry right thoughts within himself.... My spirit will radiate through him and he will now walk the earth as My child, he will mature in his soul which can now also come to perfection already on earth. Yet all this is a very personal matter which the heart carries out of its own free will, it is a very silent process which takes place between the father and the child.... Yet I can also unusually appear in such silent demonstrations of love by a child with My strength and My light, I can illuminate it with all love-glory, and then the child, overwhelmed by My love, can praise and extol Me because it senses My presence and now cheers for Me.... But this, too, will mostly take place in silence, because these are holy hours when a heart completely gives itself to Me and therefore can also receive My love in all fullness. Believe Me that My spirit pours into every person's heart who believes in Me, who lives in love and who longs for a heartfelt bond with Me.... For love awakens the spiritual spark in you to life, and this spark strives for the bond with the eternal father-spirit.... And once I can work in the human being through My spirit then you will also be born again, you will have emerged from the dead stage, you will have come to life, and you will now also never lose this life again for eternity.... But anyone who does not fulfil these preconditions that allow the working of the spirit in you has not yet found Me either.... or he seeks Me where I cannot be found: He seeks Me in worldly organisations, even though they are church-oriented.... But I want to be called upon in spirit and in truth, and this happens in the quiet chamber where the child is to hold intimate dialogue with the father.... And truly, such a dialogue is pleasing to Me, it proves to Me the right relationship between the child and the father, which you should all establish if you want to become blessed....
Amen
