Presenting the divine word in love. Success safeguarded.
3. December 1948. B.D. NR. 4502.
It is truly not unimportant in which way my word is supplied to you, because the degree of love, in which my word is presented, is often decisive whether you accept or reject it. Everything what is handed out is to be given in love; otherwise it does not speak to the heart, but must be accepted by the heart. A man filled with love gives so that he awakens mutual love, and with the presentation of my word this is of greatest importance, because then full understanding is guaranteed, as soon as love is participating, which manages the awakening of the spirit. (4.12.1948) Without love my word remains dead and incomprehensible; it is spoken along, but has no power, because it is then just empty sound without life. If man wants to make fellowmen happy, then love towards the neighbour is already predominant, and what he then hands out, gets through to the heart, is accepted there and according to own love-will felt as valuable gift, as gift of love. Where the love of the giver is recognizable, the will of rejection will be weaker, since then the word already really radiates power to the receiver, which he can and will not ignore. Therefore the representatives of my teaching must be willing to love and active in love, to be suitable for the receiving of my word from above and to make my word with its power accessible to fellowmen, because the mere passing on of the outer word remains without impression, it can therefore very easily be something formal, a preaching of my teaching profession wise without life and therefore also without spiritual success. Then my word is without power, because it is listened to with the ears only, but does get through to the heart. Because only the soul feels the power, and indeed in the state of loving feeling and its return. Emotions, which man as such hardly notices, can cause the soul greatest happiness and are not felt by the body, and when the soul now hears my word in such a loving feeling, it stands in the midst of that power radiation, which source I am. If it itself is not willing to love and my word is however offered to it in love, then the power likewise gets through to it, and it lets itself radiate by it without resistance. The degree of love of the receiver and of the giver influences extremely the effect of my word, and for that reason the attention must be directed to it that the spreading of my teaching is never to be allowed to go on through force or measures of violence, but patiently, gently, lovingly and my right representatives must still be eager, if they want to have success and be loyal servants for me on earth. It is not enough that my word is just read out or is presented to men with arranged idioms. It must become alive because the preacher wants to help his fellowmen in compassionate love, that he wants to guide them into truth and in this way into the right recognition of me myself and through his love the door of the heart of the listeners is opened. Then my word will find entrance with men; it will be felt as divine, as truth and accepted, because its power does good to the soul, which recognizes the divine origin and feels drawn to me through my word. Amen. B.D. NR. 4502.
