8851 Rejecting the divine word....
September 11, 1964: Book 93
When My gospel is offered to you directly from above, then do not reject it, because you thereby only confess the ignorance of scripture, which testifies of Me. And one day you will bitterly regret it when you recognize whose word you have rejected and how much further you could have progressed upwards. Admittedly, your will is good, and you believe that the bible is complete and that every further word from Me is superfluous.... but I oppose you with something pure, unadulterated: it is 'My word', as it cannot be offered to you in a purer form.... And this you are to accept and place it above the scriptures, which have no longer been preserved in purity as they came forth from Me.... And consider this one thing that I let My word go to all those who have already reached a certain degree of maturity that they can well recognize My voice in it.... that only the will still has to be ready to be addressed by Me. It is a great gift of favour, which is granted to them, and that is not to be rejected. But I can no longer address men even more clearly to do no coercion to their free will, which must decide completely free, otherwise it would be easy for Me to put the stamp of truth on My revelations, but then also the self-decision would be invalid. But you men can recognize My voice, if you just practice love, but you are not allowed to let yourselves be determined by such, who are still weak in love and therefore want to turn you away from My word directly sent to you. Let everyone decide freely of himself and do not let himself be pushed away from the way, which he is prepared to go. And if he desires truth with all his heart, he will also find it through My direct address, because this gives him answer to every question, which only the heart expresses and which he wants to have answered.... Have I not spoken plainly enough through My apostle Paul that I will "reject the understanding of the prudent and destroy the wisdom of the wise, and by simple preaching I will make blessed those who believe in Me?".... All of you are working your way through the scriptures and yet without awakening of the spirit you cannot come to the spiritual sense.... and what is easy for you to grasp you do not take to heart.... you do not want to accept what I have told you just as unmistakably.... And you will find just as many references to the "working of the spirit in you" in the scriptures, where (but) you search for the passages, which "supposedly" describe My direct address as satanic or not wanted by Me. Why do you not accept the "former", why do you cling to the latter and let your reasoning prevail? My word only speaks to the heart, and it can also only be understood by the heart. That is why it can only be understood by a loving man, and that is why also rarely only a man can be won for it, who has great intellectual knowledge, if he does not live in love at the same time. And My direct word will always be rejected by those who believe themselves to be called to teaching activity but whom I have not called to it Myself, for they lack the awakening of the spirit, and without such it is merely dead knowledge which is conveyed to people, it cannot be alive and therefore cannot result in living faith either.... whereas 'My word' already demonstrates a living faith and a person who receives My word is truly also a servant in My vineyard called by Me...._>Amen
