The living word .... power supply ....

B.D. No. 2924 October 14th 1943

This is the living word which allows the human being to become active, which motivates him to fulfill God's will, which makes him constantly seek contact with God, which impels his will and his heart to be lovingly active and which can never ever be replaced by similar sounding words which are human work. For the divine word also imparts strength from God, the divine word is the source from which this strength flows, and it must therefore inevitably lead to the goal, i.e., anyone who willingly accepts the divine word and allows it to take effect on him must enter the kingdom of peace as a free, blissful being after the death of his body. For the word of God is the direct emanation of His love. However, God only uses this emanation for willing people who strive towards Him, i.e. He certainly gives it to all people, but His emanation of love only takes effect in those who are of good will. And to these He now gives strength through His word .... And therefore the action against the divine word must lead to their complete downfall, for if they are deprived of it they are without any supply of strength. Yet it is people's own will which is decisive that they nevertheless receive the divine word, even though the most brutal way is used against people who desire the word of God. All possibilities to receive the word from outside through mediators who want to proclaim His word as God's representatives will be taken away from people .... But God Himself will speak through the mouth of those who are devoted to Him in love, and believers who lack strength and therefore hunger for divine food will be able to hear His voice. God will bring it to them, He Himself will instruct them, even directly, if the person prepares himself through his way of life to receive His word .... He will not leave anyone in need of the soul who presses towards Him and longs for refreshment and strengthening. For God is love, and His love expresses itself by radiating and seeking to penetrate everything that opens itself to His love ....
