8314 Address to the vineyard workers....

October 30, 1962: Book 87

Anyone who offers to serve Me by participating in the work of salvation as an eager co-worker, by helping to guide erring souls onto the right path, can also truly be certain of My blessing and My help, for this alone is important, that helpers use all their strength to carry out what is necessary but can also only be carried out by people because I cannot and may not work unusually.... otherwise it would truly be easy for Me to inform all people of their God and creator and their purpose of earthly life.... But earthly life is a decision of free will for every human being, and therefore I can only use people again who want to work for Me in My vineyard. For they can accept you but also reject you according to their will, which is not forced into its decision by the transmission of My word through you. And if you now know how urgently I need faithful labourers for Me, because it is the last time before the end and all people no longer have much time to mature on this earth, you can also truly believe that I will help you in every way.... The only prerequisite is that you show the earnest will to carry out this vineyard work.... But if you want to serve Me with all your strength you cannot serve another lord at the same time, you cannot simultaneously fulfil the will of the one who is My adversary and whose endeavour will always be to withhold the knowledge of the truth from people, but which I want to bring to them. Therefore, anyone who serves him cannot serve Me at the same time.... You must take this into serious consideration and also ask yourselves whether and in what way you are willing to serve him.... You must be clear that I cannot and will not support you in an activity which is obviously the adversary's work, through which he can reap a rich harvest.... How can I agree with this when it is My constant endeavour to liberate people from their worldly desire and to only turn their desire towards the spiritual kingdom?.... This is a battle which every person has to wage against himself and which also costs great strength to overcome, but for this I will always grant My assistance.... But you, who want to serve Me, should also try to achieve the same by causing your fellow human beings to recognize and avoid the dangers of the world.... You should work together with Me but not against Me.... by offering them opportunities to gain insight into My adversary's realm and increase their desire for the world.... and then you serve two masters, you play one master against the other.... I truly need faithful servants to whom I can assign the work in My vineyard, and I rejoice in every willing co-worker and will bless him, yet I demand his full commitment to Me and cannot approve of him being at the same time at the will of My adversary who will truly try everything to push him away from Me completely because he wants to gain the victory over Me by winning more souls for himself than are saved for Me.... Consider that I, as the father of the house, take care of My servants spiritually and earthly so that they need not suffer any hardship, and have faith in this assurance of Mine.... But also understand My admonitions and warnings, understand all obstacles which get in your way, for I Myself allow them because I want to win you completely for Myself and My kingdom, because I don't want to hand you over to My adversary, because your work for Me is extremely valuable to Me.... but therefore I also want to possess you undivided.... You shall fully commit yourselves to Me and My kingdom, for there is not much time left, and what you gain earthly you will lose, but the spiritual gain will amply compensate you.... You will come ever closer to My heart, and truly, you will be allowed to feel My love because you prove your love to Me through undivided work for Me and My kingdom. Bear in mind that countless souls are in greatest need.... Reduce this hardship but don't increase it.... Always remember that I fight for every single soul in order to rescue it from darkness, and therefore you must not plunge it into darkness, but you do so by every favour, by every aid to sin, for people are weak and must be protected where they are in danger of being tempted to sin.... I certainly know that the individual cannot do much against people's sinfulness, yet he should not himself contribute to the encouragement of sinfulness.... For every individual is responsible for himself.... but whoever causes offence is equally guilty.... You should take this to heart and always endeavour to make contact with Me with a pure heart, then you will also be true servants to Me whom I can count as My own, and you will obviously be allowed to experience My blessing, because I need everyone who wants to serve Me, and then he will truly no longer need to worry, neither about his earthly nor his spiritual well-being, for I always want to be a faithful father to My own....

Amen
