2572 The task of God's servants.... strength of faith before....

December 3, 1942: Book 33

The task that still lies ahead of you, which you have offered yourselves to God for service, will be made known to you when your work for the lord is necessary. But first you have to become strong in faith yourselves, you still have to withstand many temptations which will be given to you by the world. And you must become knowledgeable yourselves in order to then be able to pass on the knowledge to people who are still blind in spirit. Your special task is to preach the word of God, to teach people love, to persuade them to believe and to confirm your words through extraordinary work.... For God Himself wants to make use of your shell in order to reveal Himself to humanity. People should learn to recognize what the strength of faith can do, they should see that God's word is truth, that the human being can accomplish extraordinary things as soon as he desires God's support, i.e. is in closest union with God through a way of life which is pleasing to Him. They should learn to recognize the value of true faith, which makes people free and cheerful because they are no longer attached to earthly possessions, because they have recognized their transience and because striving for spiritual possessions has become their highest purpose in life. And you have to prove this faith to your fellow human beings, you have to believe so deeply yourselves that nothing can make you waver. And this will be necessary because you will be harassed for the sake of your faith, you will be reviled and people will want to prevent you from working for God. Yet even then the strength of faith will prove itself, for you will fear nothing that threatens you from the world because you know that God Himself protects you, that under His protection you are immune to all attacks of the world.... against threats of earthly violence. For God needs you as His fighters, He has given you the task of standing up for His word before the world and He trains you for this ministry beforehand.... But your work will only begin after the divine intervention, when people will need comfort and encouragement and when they are to be taught the faith they lack. Difficult times will precede your work and you will often need divine strength yourselves so that you will become strong and inwardly mature for your task. Yet God will stand by you, He will protect those who want to serve Him and His strength will constantly flow to you as soon as you take refuge in Him. For there are only a few who consciously place themselves at God's service and these few can always be sure of His help.... He stands by them in every danger and He guides them on all paths so that they reach the right goal.... Thus they will also fulfil the task according to His will which is given to them for the sake of the salvation of their fellow human beings....

Amen
