"My kingdom is not of this world ...."

My kingdom is not of this world .... And thus everything that is to lead to or contribute towards the attainment of My kingdom will not be of a worldly nature but can only have a spiritual character. My Words, which I spoke on earth, can only be understood spiritually, and the observance of My Word must have a spiritual effect, just as it only has to be expressed by the fact that every action is always an impulse of the heart, i.e. inner impulses alone are decisive as to how far the human being takes possession of My kingdom. Neither worldly customs can increase the right to My kingdom nor active help given to the neighbour without the heart being involved.

My kingdom is not of this world .... Do you think that I require worldly or symbolic acts to make this kingdom of Mine accessible to you? Do you believe that I can take pleasure in externalities which are more of a danger, because deep inner emotions diminish in the human being as a result, but the externalities distract and in the end will only be paid attention to. I truly did not give any encouragement for this through My Word, yet people were not satisfied with the inner bond with Me, through which they can attain high maturity of soul and thus already occupy My kingdom on earth, and they attached great importance to the fulfilment of certain customs which, however, are completely irrelevant for the gaining of My kingdom.

Who keeps My commandments .... loves Me above all else and his neighbour as himself, can also rightly call himself an aspirant of My kingdom. But it is never possible to gain it if My commandments are not respected. How often, however, do I miss the observance of My commandment of love in those who strictly adhere to externals, who strictly adhere to the commandments which were added to My commandment of love by human beings. How precisely people often pause over what they command their fellow human beings, yet I pay no attention to it as long as the soul is not involved .... (12.11.1947) although I also bless the will of those who believe in serving Me because the truth has not yet been conveyed to them. But My will is that the truth penetrates and displaces what contradicts it.

My will, therefore, is that whoever receives the truth from Me shall stand up for it. My will is that error be denounced, that people who still think in error be instructed, that they be given enlightenment by those who are My servants on earth, whom I have chosen to spread the truth, who hear My Word and are therefore instructed in the pure truth by Me Myself. For it concerns the soul's more rapid development .... You only have little time left and yet you can gain a considerable advantage if you live according to My will .... and disregard everything external and work intensively on your soul, as soon as you base all your thoughts, speeches and actions on My commandment of love and receive My Word wherever it is offered to you ....

Hearing My Word is urgently necessary, and wherever it is offered to you, you will also receive blessings if your soul hungers and thirsts for it. And My Word you shall hear .... For the sake of My Word you should seek out the place where it is imparted to you, if you are not taught by Me directly or My Word is conveyed to you through My servants. You should by no means feel bound by laws which did not originate from Me, for the Lawgiver from eternity is Me, and My law from eternity is: Love Me above all else and your neighbour as yourself ..... Then you will surely gain My kingdom, which is not of this world ....

Amen
