8214 "Working of the spirit" in spiritual exchange of ideas....

July 14, 1962: Book 86

A light radiates from Me and this light will always prevent you from thinking wrongly if you desire to think correctly. When I Myself illuminate your spirit it means that you feel emotionally attracted or repelled when you should pass judgement yourselves on a body of thought which is presented to you as truth. You should only ever pay attention to your feelings, yet always in the will to be right and just, and now immerse yourselves in the thought material without prejudice, and you will feel whether it appeals to you or whether you oppose it with an inner resistance.... "I pour out My spirit on all flesh...." This is My promise, which is also truly fulfilled.... Yet you often don't recognize the 'working of My spirit' because you always expect it to be an unusual process. And My spirit often expresses itself in secret, and I can only rarely reveal Myself through a person so that I can address people directly through him.... People usually believe that I Myself speak out of them, but then they would be in a mediumistic state, i.e. they would relinquish their own will and allow spiritual forces access which can now express themselves.... When I address a person through My spirit then his heart perceives My words as clear thoughts which he now, however, expresses in his usual way of speaking, that is, he writes them down or.... expresses his views during a spiritual exchange.... expresses his views which, however, are guided by My spirit and thus correspond to the truth, or else he hears the sounding word within himself.... which requires a very high degree of maturity of the soul.... so his thoughts are formed, he hears himself addressed inwardly and then also passes on this address to his fellow human beings. And precisely the knowledge of the latter can lead to erroneous assumptions when spiritual beings express themselves who are secluded from earth and seek to transfer their knowledge to people who have a certain inherent mediumistic ability.... which is why I repeatedly emphasize that people can indeed hear My voice within themselves but can never literally convey 'My voice' but can only pass on the content in its meaning by writing it down as it is comprehensible to them and thus take in My voice dictatorially or they are filled with the content of what I have conveyed to them, that they express themselves to fellow human beings and try to reproduce in their own way of speaking what they have heard, for which I put the words in their mouths.... thus direct their speech and their thinking according to truth. "I pour out My spirit upon all flesh, and servants and handmaidens shall prophesy...." The working of My spirit is the result of a life of love, and therefore, where love is lived My spirit will awaken, and this spirit will now constantly correct a person's thinking, it will instruct the person from within and radiate My divine light of love to him.... And thus these are also spirit-filled and can rightly call themselves My servants and handmaidens, for they will always feel urged from within to testify for Me and My kingdom, to confess My name before the world, and to proclaim to their fellow human beings what God and father requires of His children, that He loves them and wants to make them blissfully happy..... and wherever they speak, whether in a large or small circle, they will only speak pure truth, because I Myself can pour out My spirit into such vessels.... Thus you can regard every deeply believing, love-filled person as also being filled by My spirit, and his thoughts will always be rightly directed and turned towards Me, for Whom he now works in silence and can bestow many blessings.... And they (these people through My spirit) will also receive information through the spirit in Me about the coming event, because everything earthly is always connected with the spiritual maturing process, with people's spiritual state.... And My spirit will protect them from spreading untruth, yet their silent work will often not be recognized as work in the vineyard of the Lord....

Amen
