4855 The right to teach.... holy office....

March 11, 1950: Book 55

You have been given a sacred office.... to teach people in My stead who willingly listen to you. This office is to be taken seriously, and therefore you cannot be reproached if you try to convey My teaching, which comes from above as purest truth, to your fellow human beings and confront them as opponents, yet not in a hostile way, but as My representatives you try to bring them peace, the pure teaching from Christ, which has to be heard by people if they want to become blessed. Hence you only carry out My will if you try to spread the truth, even if it earns you enmity, even if you are rejected and My teaching is ridiculed. You shall first fulfil My will before people's will is taken into account, especially if people's will is opposed to Mine. If people are in a defensive position you can do little. Nevertheless, every attempt is blessed by Me, after all, it makes the adversary think and can lead to success after a certain time. This office has been given to you and I know about every possibility of success for you.... I guide you along paths which may indeed seem unsuccessful to you, nevertheless you should allow yourselves to be guided without resistance, because often only a single soul sees a light flashing through you which breaks through its state of darkness, and this soul is eternally grateful for it. You have been given the office by Me Myself to administer, and therefore you are first entitled to teach as My representatives on earth. But anyone who has acquired a teaching ministry for himself without being appointed by Me may not dispute your right, after all, he does not possess part of the knowledge which is imparted to you from above, and therefore he is not really suitable for the teaching ministry either, he will not be able to give anything because he does not possess anything himself. And by the degree of knowledge you can test the ability of every individual for the teaching ministry and from this it already follows that whoever wants to teach has to be taught by Me Myself. It follows that such an office cannot be given by people but that I alone determine who is suitable for such an office. Therefore, don't let yourselves be disturbed if you are attacked and your spiritual activity is to be prevented.... I protect My servants and help them, and he on whose side My help is will also feel this and neither be timid nor despondent. He will feel that it meets with My approval if he takes action against people's ignorant and error-spreading teachers. No counter-speech will make him incapable of his office, for he knows that those are not only his opponents but also My opponents, and thus he also knows that I stand on the side of those who stand up for Me and My teaching, whom I teach Myself from above and whom I train for an office which I Myself have given them because I recognized their will from eternity....

Amen
