8570 God's blessing rests on vineyard work....

July 26, 1963: Book 90

I want to smooth the ways for you in every way that you recognize by it how important your work is for Me and My kingdom. You are never to believe that I do not value this work enough, because I alone can judge it, and truly, you can achieve much and do Me and also the souls an exceedingly great service, which you supply to Me. For you humans it only ever seems important what results in earthly success, what is visible or tangible to you, what you achieve in terms of honour and fame, in terms of human prestige. But spiritual activity is paid little attention to because its successes cannot be seen; they again can only be recognized and pursued by spiritually awakened men. But you men only live on earth for the sake of one aim, to spiritualize yourselves, to help your soul to a high degree of maturity, and that is why that alone is important for you, what has the spiritual kingdom as aim, and every vineyard worker contributes to bring Me and My kingdom closer to men, to put the right aim before their eyes and to move men themselves to strive for Me and My kingdom. And for this I bless them, for I need co-workers on earth, I need people who present My divine teaching of love to their fellow human beings in My stead, who encourage them to fulfil My will, who draw their attention to their earthly task and who spiritually advise and help them to comply with their earthly task.... I need people who voluntarily offer themselves to Me for this cooperation, whom I can then train again to become right teachers, for people must be offered purest spiritual knowledge in a natural way, and My servants must therefore receive this spiritual knowledge from Me Myself and pass it on.... People need teachings which correspond to the truth.... which I alone can impart to them alone.... For this reason I will incessantly seek to convey My word to earth and bless everyone who voluntarily opens himself to Me, who allows himself to be taught by Me directly, who thinks through and lives out My word himself and stands up for it ever more convincingly.... For I will never leave people without help during their earthly progress, I will always provide them with what they need so that their earthly progress will be successful. But I can only rarely have a direct effect because people do not establish a direct bond with Me.... therefore I must seek through mediators to achieve that they listen to Me, and these mediators have a beautiful task:... to speak in My stead and to convey to people everything I want to say.... Then they are enabled to do so because I Myself address them and then they only ever need to pass on on My behalf what they have heard from Me. I Myself impart spiritual knowledge to them, which will make them highly happy themselves, and they can now work with this spiritual knowledge by letting everyone participate who crosses their path. They will be provided by Me with spiritual wealth, which they can use exceedingly successfully, which is for their own salvation and which gives them the possibility to give much enlightenment to men, who walk along in spiritual darkness, who need a light, which enlightens their way.... And I truly do not think of you meagrely.... Everything you desire to know will be supplied to you, and no-one need go empty-handed who asks Me for spiritual gifts.... But the supply to mankind can always only happen through a servant devoted to Me, who fulfils all prerequisites, which allow the working of the spirit in him and who is prepared to hand out the spiritual good in My stead, which is imparted to him by Me myself. But since I know how necessary it is that men are instructed, I also accept every worker in My vineyard, who offers himself voluntarily to Me for service, and I assign his activity to him.... And truly, he will do greater work than any worldly man, and whether this one can also record unusual earthly successes.... These will not be able to outweigh the success, which grows for a soul, which takes the spiritual way and always only seeks to reach its earth life purpose.... that it matures and establishes the bond with Me, which alone secures perfection for it. Again and again I must make the importance of your task clear to you because I want you to put it before every earthly activity, that you yourselves recognize it as urgent in view of the approaching end where all earthly successes will pass away and only that will remain which you have acquired for yourselves in spiritual treasures. And you can all receive these spiritual treasures in abundance, for no limit is set by Me, you can constantly receive and therefore also constantly hand them out to everyone who asks for them.... For I know people's hearts and will also always consider them according to their desire.... I will supply you with people who are eager for spiritual treasures.... And no-one will need to hunger and starve who desires to be fed by Me, and you, My servants, are to serve Me and be eager in your work for Me and My kingdom because this work is urgent and cannot be done by every person...._>Amen
