Called servants of God ....
Office on earth ....

Whoever believes himself to be called to carry out a mission from God must also hear the divine voice within himself, otherwise he cannot proclaim the divine will as His representative. This is a condition which cannot be disregarded, for a servant of God must first know his Lord's will himself and thus receive His expression directly. Understandably, people first have to fulfil the conditions which presuppose hearing God's voice within themselves .... The human being must live a life of love, he must be deeply religious and thus firmly convinced that God Himself speaks audibly to people, and he must consciously listen to God's voice within himself ....

Without fulfilling these conditions God's spirit will never make itself known and thus the human being will not be called to submit His will to his fellow human beings on God's behalf. The human being can indeed speak to his fellow human beings about spiritual things in good will to instruct them, however, there is no guarantee that he will instruct people truthfully. He first has to work on himself with the firm will to be accepted as God's servant until, by fulfilling all conditions, he is called by God for an office on earth which is extremely important and therefore can only be administered by people who are completely devoted to God. And this person must absolutely hear the voice of the spirit within himself ....

He must be so obviously introduced to truth, to the right spiritual knowledge, that there can no longer be any doubt about his extraordinary mission, about his calling by God Himself. He must have brought himself into a state that he, as a servant, can receive all assignments directly from his Lord, that he only functions as a mediator between God and people. And the change into this state must be the result of the strong will to serve God, to fulfil His will himself and to help fellow human beings in greatest spiritual adversity. No earthly interests may have a say in it, they must be completely eliminated .... thus the human being must be completely spiritually attuned if he wants to enter God's service and be active for Him and His kingdom.

Through him God now also calls helpers on earth who are likewise active in His will. For God's will can now be made known to them through the former, and they will find themselves in the truth, because it will now be conveyed to them purely and unadulterated through God's servant ..... And anyone who strictly adheres to the Word of God thus imparted to him will be accepted as a labourer in the vineyard of the Lord, and his activity on earth will likewise be a blessed one, he, too, will be considered a servant of God as long as he adheres to the Word which is conveyed to him by God Himself through a called servant.

But anyone who does not acknowledge this Word, who does not have a direct recipient of divine truth as a teacher, if he cannot hear the inner voice himself, can never be active as a servant of God on earth either .... . He will never be able to be a guide or teacher for his fellow human beings but, like them, a person in need of guidance who first has to be given the right knowledge if he wants to walk the right path on earth. Only then will a person be able to work for God and on His behalf on earth, for only then will he represent the pure truth, only then will he be in direct contact with God and be able to hear God's voice through His spirit within himself.

But he will never arrive at the truth, at the right knowledge, by any other means, and he can never believe himself called by God to spread His Word as long as he is not introduced to the truth himself, for His disciples are only those who are instructed by Himself or receive His direct instructions through a mediator, and these alone He sends into the world to instruct people ..... And whoever believes them, whoever allows himself to be taught by them, will stand in the truth and therefore be blessed, for the truth leads to God, Who Himself is the eternal truth ....

Amen
