7088 Unbelief in spirit-work.... lack of understanding of the scriptures....

April 10, 1958: Book 75

Anyone who does not believe in the working of My spirit in the form that I Myself speak to people, that they can hear My word within themselves, also has no right to refer to the bible as the allegedly only scripture through which I made My will known.... For he does not know this bible, he only reads it with his worldly mind but not with enlightened thinking, otherwise he would also find the indications of My working of the spirit in the human being in this word written down by My disciples: "I remain with you until the end of the world...." What else should this mean but that I always and constantly dwell among you in spirit, since I physically left you when I ascended to heaven? And if I have now promised you My presence, do you then believe that I will remain silent and give you no proof of My presence? "I will reveal Myself to you...." - "I will send you the comforter, who will guide you into all truth and remind you of all that I have said to you...." Could I possibly give you even clearer indications of My spiritual working on and in you? How else should you be 'guided' into the truth than through teachings which the 'eternal truth' itself sends to you? How else could I remind you of My word spoken at that time than by speaking to you and calling everything to your remembrance? How could I reveal Myself to you other than that you become aware of My nearness, that you receive a proof of My presence?.... And what moves you, who reject My word spoken from above, to this rejection? But never the urge for truth, rather, you do not want to be led out of your spiritual blindness; it pleases you to remain in it, you do not long for light.... and you are inwardly arrogant.... This must be said to you so that you may know an explanation why My words do not touch you, why you do not recognize them as the 'voice of the father'.... For profound inner humility would open your heart to receive gifts of grace which are incomparably delicious, which only become gifts of grace when the human being is humble.... Again and again during My life on earth I mentioned the outpouring of My spirit, and people know from scripture that this promise was fulfilled in My disciples after My ascension to heaven.... But My promises did not only apply to My disciples, they applied to all people who, like My first disciples, firmly believed in Me and lived in love.... Why should I only have spoken to My disciples of that time through the spirit? Why should I not be allowed to speak again and again to those who are devoted to Me in love, who serve Me and want to carry My gospel out into the world again? You, who reject Me, are truly not yet enlightened by My spirit, you do not hear Me, nor do you understand My written word, although every letter is known to you.... You are still dead in spirit or you would like to recognize My voice, for I truly speak in such a way that I can be recognized by every person of good will. But your will is not good because you still let yourselves be controlled by My adversary who has also placed his arrogant attitude in you.... And My grace will not break through arrogance, arrogance will always reject what My love offers as an immeasurable gift of grace, for arrogance is part of the adversary, and he will always influence the human being to reject the father's words of love and grace.... And until you become humble in your hearts you will not be refreshed by My gift of grace either, instead, you will reject everything that is conveyed to people through the voice of the spirit for the salvation of their souls.... And neither will the scriptures be and give you more than dead letters, you will not attain life through the scriptures either, because even through the scriptures I can only speak to those who in deepest humility ask Me to speak to them Myself.... For I only bestow My grace on the humble....

Amen
