SPECIAL MISSION: FIGHTING FOR TRUTH
As a result of your readiness to serve, your mission is being
carried out conscientiously making you true workers in My vineyard. Therefore,
you have been given tasks not suitable for everyone as they require a
special willingness and are of extreme importance.
You shall fight for truth. Although it is most essential to preach love,
as no can gain beatitude without love, spiritually enlightened people
can handle the preaching ministry, even if they are not fighters. Everyone
who has love can incite love. The fight for truth, however, requires special
faculties: a knowledge of truth and a spirit prepared to fight for that
which is right and true. In addition to these it needs an extremely strong
faith in My Word, for man can only stand up for something he recognizes
as the truth, where he has no doubts that it has been conveyed to him
by the Eternal Truth.
To enable him to stand up for truth, he himself must be firmly convinced,
and this will be so, if he leads a life of love so that My Spirit can
work within him. Thus love for his fellow men must induce him to bring
them truth, too, and therefore he will attack falsehood and error zealously.
Such servants I do need during the 'final time' on earth. This mission
is so important that I shall help these servants in every way so as to
prepare the field in which they are to work, that I help them in spiritual
as well as material difficulties, smooth the way for them, strengthen
them and urge them to more zealous spiritual activity to make their mission
a success. It is hard for the light to penetrate falsehood and error.
Where the field has grown weeds, good seeds cannot develop and such a
field becomes useless for its owner.
Therefore, My servants must first remove the weeds from the field, which
is an extremely laborious task and requires perseverance and strength.
Where falsehood and error have settled in human hearts the cleansing work
will have to be carried out relentlessly. The representative of truth
must unceasingly expose everything that is contrary to pure truth; therefore
he must himself possess that which he wants to bring to his fellow men.
He must not present the product of his own thinking, unless My Spirit
enlightens him. A wonderful Working of My Spirit within him shall give
him the assurance to fight courageously against error and falsehood.
And he will know without doubt where there is error and falsehood. He
will oppose it with pure truth and not allow himself to be disconcerted
by opposition, hostility or persecution. He will fight with the sword
of the tongue, boldly and fully convinced that he is right. I need such
servants on earth who fear no one and serve their master devotedly. I
need people with a strong faith and a firm will, with an absolute honesty
and capacity to recognize great spiritual need. Wherever I find such servants
I prepare them by conveying the truth to them, making them acquainted
with their mission. I educate them to become fearless advocates. I enlighten
their spirit so that they may clearly recognize where and when they have
to set to work, where and when they will be facing falsehood and error
that they might publicly denounce them.
Not every worker in my vineyard is fit to this task because the opposition
has already grown too strong; many people feel happy in falsehood, which
allows them a comfortable life, whilst pure truth demands self-denial,
which is often unpalatable. Knowing this, My servant must relentlessly
reveal the consequences of false doctrines erroneous thinking, and he
must not be afraid to tell the truth to the faces of the exponents of
error…. for a good seed can be sown and ripen only after the field
has been cleared of weeds which are useless and which must be relentlessly
destroyed.
Truth will and must force its way and, therefore, I shall bless every
supporter of truth and sustain his work for Me and My Kingdom, and I shall
smooth his earthly way, so that, without hindrance, he can perform the
task for which I have chosen him.
AMEN |
