8249 Request for God's grace, power and blessing....

August 23, 1962: Book 87

Only ever request My grace, My strength of love and My blessing.... And you will truly cover your earthly path with success, for then you will walk by My hand, you will use the measure of grace I pour out upon you, you will let My flow of love flow into your hearts and I will look after you on all your paths.... you enjoy My protection, and like a father I will protect My children from all hostile influence.... because you want Me to take care of you, otherwise you would not approach Me for grace, strength of love and blessing. You thereby prove to Me your will turned towards Me, your desire to enter into intimate contact with Me again, and thus you are on the path of return to Me. And you reach your goal, the final union with Me. You consciously profess Me and have thus also passed your test of will for the purpose of which you go across earth. But you will only appeal to Me for grace, strength and My blessing if love has been kindled in you, for love urges you to love, and without love you would have completely different goals than Me, your God and father.... Without love you would still belong to the world, which is My adversary's kingdom, for then there is perverse love in you, the inclination towards matter. You desire that which you have long since overcome, and then you are in a terrible state, for the time on earth passes quickly and if it has not brought you the transformation of your selfish love into unselfish, divine love, then your earthly course was in vain and you sink back into the darkness from which you had worked your way up through agony and toil until your existence as a human being.... But therefore I rejoice in every person who seeks Me of his own accord, who longs for My grace, My strength and My blessing.... and truly, I will grant him all these in abundance. The human being needs much strength and support for his pilgrimage on this earth, for he is still weak and constantly exposed to temptations by My adversary who wants to prevent him from reaching the height.... And an ascent is also impossible for him by his own strength, yet he has a spark of My divine love within himself, and he only needs to ignite it and his strength will increase, he will be able to resist My adversary, for love is strength, it is My divine influx which he can constantly increase if only he practices love, if he performs works of love and thus unites himself ever more with Me, Who is love, and he now also increases in strength.... This is why his prayer for strength and grace is so extremely valuable, for it is a spiritual request which I will never let go unfulfilled and which you will receive in abundance, and you will always make use of My influx of strength of love and grace to work with love, because the strength which emanates from Me and now fills your hearts constantly drives you to do so. And you should also recognize everything that daily life brings you as a means of grace which helps you to become blissfully happy..... But above all, avail yourselves of the grace of My word, for truly, My word will impart everything to you, because it is a direct emanation of love on My part and has to fill every person with strength who receives My word and moves it in his heart.... This is the greatest gift of grace I can offer to My living creations on earth, to people, because they can become My children through My word, because they are in intimate bond with Me as soon as My word sounds to them, and because they hear the father's voice Who wants to impart everything to His children.... comfort, strength and extensive knowledge through which they learn to recognize and love their God and father and thus love urges love and then the unification can also take place, which is the purpose and goal of their earthly life. "Ask and it will be given to you...." Always remember this promise of Mine and prayerfully request everything you lack from Me: strength and grace and My blessing.... for this will never be addressed to Me in vain....

Amen
