4.16 Correspondence with Frank Gregory Dara (6)

11. Mail (from Frank Gregory Dara)

Thanks very much Brother Frank. Truly, Love is the essence of our being as children of God since God is LOVE. God does not leave us alone to figure it out for ourselves, He had to indwell in us by His Spirit that when we yield to Him the Love within will naturally flow on the outside. Hence it becomes outward manifestation of the inward experience. I thank God for Bertha Dudde for such a beautiful article on love. And I am using this great opportunity to add that; LOVE is not something that can be cooked up rather it is a natural product of a believer's life in Christ. It comes out spontaneously. It supposes to flow along side as the air we breath in and breath out. When we do not have Christ, we do not have it. and if we do have Christ without manifesting it then it is IGNORANCE which God said when it is in place his people are perished. Why? Because the Love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us(Romans5:5)

Stay blessed
Brother Frank

12. Mail (to Frank Gregory Dara)

Dear Frank Gregory,

My thoughts turned to your last mail when I read something that dealt with the same subject, love, and in particular with the question where our love comes from. In your last mail you for example write, “Truly, Love is the essence of our being as children of God since God is LOVE. God does not leave us alone to figure it out for ourselves, He had to indwell in us by His Spirit that when we yield to Him the Love within will naturally flow on the outside. Hence it becomes outward manifestation of the inward experience. I thank God for Bertha Dudde for such a beautiful article on love. And I am using this great opportunity to add that; LOVE is not something that can be cooked up rather it is a natural product of a believer’s life in Christ. It comes out spontaneously.”

So these statements of yours stayed in my mind and were rekindled when I read again something from Bertha Dudde that dealt with this subject. It is B.D. NR. 6498 dated 11. March 1956 and the heading is “Life Spark – Love – Gift of Favour.” So here comes my translation of it:

You all carry the life germ in you and need not become a slave to death when you only give food to this life germ, when you supply it with light and warmth so that it can open up – when you arouse love in yourselves. Then you awake from a dead state to life, and then you never need to fear death. You have been embodied as man on earth for this purpose, to win life, which lasts forever. And so that this is possible God laid a spark of the primeval life force in you, which you now are to increase yourselves. Every effort from your side is supported; therefore you just need to want that you reach life. Because to stir up the primeval life spark in you would mean to practise love, for which you are well capable but always have to first find the will. So love will always be the prerequisite that you gain eternal life. Without love you become a slave to death. Would you step into this earth life without this life germ, the divine love spark, it would be impossible for you to be active in love because then the opponent would be completely in possession of you. But as you already before have reached a certain degree of maturity through the course of development and this degree of maturity is not to be endangered in the stage as man, God put into every soul of man a spark of his spirit, which however is enough, to let a love fire come into being in you when it is only supplied with the necessary food, when man complies with every inner impulse and practises love – because this divine spark urges man on to it from out of the inside, however initially only softly, that it hardly is felt, but still causes the willing man to comply with the urge. And then the soul awakes to life – because love is a power that allows nothing dead around it, which gives life to everything and which will also conquer everything that opposes it. A man who always cultivates love will also feel that every inner weakness is fading because love power is now flowing through him – because there is nothing divine, which is powerless or could leave a weakness behind, and because love is divine, because it is the radiation of God – because it is the primeval substance of God, who also is power in the primeval form in himself. That is how you therefore reach life, because you draw power directly from God when you lead a life in love. And that is your assignment on earth and also your final objective, to make contacts with God through a life of love, thus to again return in free will to where your beginning was. That you can do this is an unusual gift of favour because God still assigns a spark of this power to you, despite your former resistance to his love power, when you step into existence on earth as man. But you yourselves have to let the fire flare up in you; you must not let this love spark die away; you must not spill it because that would be your death, because you then rob yourselves of all life, and you cannot be prevented from it because you have free will. Every possibility will be opened for you to win back the life you once lost; but the free will will not be taken from you, and it alone determines what you do with the divine spark of love. Every man is urged out of the inside to love activity, but when he does not comply with this urge then the voice becomes softer and softer and in the end dies away completely unheard. And then is the risk that man completely loses himself; that he again completely becomes a slave to death, although God will again and again touch him and again and again give him opportunity from the outside, which could elicit in him his will to love. Because God campaigns for the soul of every single man until death, because he does not want that it becomes a slave to death, he wants that it lives. But he leaves free will to man. Amen. B.D. NR. 6498.

So I enjoyed working with this text and it was good for my development.

All the best
Frank
