8274 The last disciples - Knowledge of the essence of God....

September 16, 1962: Book 87

As My last disciples, you are to carry My gospel out into the world.... You should impart spiritual goods to people who are still in the midst of the world.... you should try to turn their thoughts away from this world and make the spiritual kingdom accessible to them by imparting spiritual goods to them.... It is indeed up to the will of each individual whether he will accept from you what you offer him.... Yet you should not refrain from also offering spiritual gifts to those who still possess little of them. And therefore I send My disciples out again, yet I first make them suitable to carry out this task by first providing them with spiritual knowledge Myself, by giving them what they are to pass on to their fellow human beings. For it is important that they distribute a good gift, that they instruct people, that they impart spiritual knowledge to them which they have received from Me Myself and which is therefore extremely effective and beneficial for people's souls. Just as I once sent My disciples out into the world to proclaim My gospel to it, just as they once spread the teachings they had received from Me Myself because they were to pass on the pure truth.... so too they (the disciples) can now only be successfully active for Me in the last days if they can distribute pure truth, because only through truth can people find the right path to Me and because only truth can cause them to take this path to Me.... For through truth they recognize Me Myself, about Whose nature people know too little and therefore they do not try to approach Me but I remain the distant God to them, even if they believe in a 'God'. I Myself can only convey the pure truth to them through My servants, through people who have voluntarily offered themselves to Me for service.... And these now receive from Me what they are to convey to their fellow human beings and what they need to fulfil their earthly task.... For the time being the gospel of love has to be proclaimed to people, for only love can bring them closer to their God and creator, from Whom they once voluntarily separated.... I want to help people to become blissfully happy again as they once did when they came forth from Me in all perfection. But now, in the last days, love has grown cold among people and therefore they are far away from Me, they are far away from the truth, they are spiritually darkened, for without love they are still under My adversary's control and don't recognize Me, Who, as their father of eternity, constantly wants to radiate My love to them in order to fetch them back to Me, and Whom they therefore cannot recognize because there is no love in them which would give them bright light about Me Myself and My being, which is pure love.... And My adversary also wants to prevent people from recognizing and learning to love Me. And therefore he also keeps them in deepest spiritual darkness, he withholds the truth from them and also prevents My servants from imparting truth to their fellow human beings. Yet these are under My protection and I Myself send them out, time and again I will provide them with abundant seed and they will do good vineyard work, they will cultivate the fields which lie fallow, they will sow and also reap good fruit, they will always serve Me as faithful servants because they themselves know what hardship there is amongst people as long as they know nothing of My infinite fatherly love and they (don't) turn to Me themselves in order to now also be illuminated by My love.... But if the gospel of love is proclaimed to them they will find a path to Me if only they fulfil My commandments of love, for they only live on earth for this reason alone, in order to ignite love in themselves of their own free will and thereby to integrate themselves into the divine law of order again, the principle of which is love.... Love shall be proclaimed and lived out by you, My servants, you yourselves shall precede them with the light which love has kindled in you.... For you receive My word and shall pass this word on so that people will know about My will, so that they voluntarily turn to Me and can now also experience the effect of a life of love themselves, so that they will now take their earthly path with Me, Who can be close to them again if they change to love themselves, because I can only be where love is and because without love no-one can become blissfully happy....

Amen
