THE SIGNIFICANCE OF RECOGNIZING

Again and again I shall speak to you, MY children, for I know that you are in need of MY Word, which shall give you strength for your way of life. You should always know that I am present as soon as only one thought from you touches ME and when you desire to be united with ME. When I am present for you, also MY POWER must flow into you.

Your soul is in need of this power in order to fully mature. Wherefore, you must always have to show progress when you let ME speak to you. The light that beams through you must become steadily more brilliant. This means an always-deeper comprehension; it means increasing knowledge, clarity in thinking and a will righteously directed. MY speaking to you guarantees this; for the power that flows from ME to you must be effective and manifest as increasing WISDOM.

All you people ought to reach out for LIGHT. You should seek to escape from the darkness of the spirit and to desire increased spiritual knowledge. In what ignorant condition did you step into the life on earth? Although your reason begins to become active, can you thereby penetrate into the spiritual realm?

Within, your dense darkness remains. All spiritual concepts remain unsolved and unclear to you as long as you do not feel an urge to get an explanation. The purpose of your life on earth remains unknown and you are dead in the spirit, although you live physically.

Could you be satisfied, if you have no knowledge at all about the reason and purpose of your life on earth? Are you satisfied with the light- less existence upon this earth with only earthly goals to strive for?

This condition of lightlessness is no happy condition; you yourselves must recognize this as unsatisfactory and endeavor to receive an inner light! Only then the imperfect condition will change. You will gain an inner happiness when you are given a knowledge, which reveals to you the purpose of your life on earth.

For such a light you should reach out, and therefore respect MY Words, which come to you through MY messengers, if you are not yet able to hear ME directly. You should endeavor to enlarge your spiritual knowledge. For this knowledge is the LIGHT that you did not have at the beginning of your incarnation, which, however, can be inflamed and then shines brightly in your hearts.

That light is beamed from MY SPIRIT, the small spark of love, which as part of MINE rests within you and must be ignited by LOVE!

Irrefutably in this way LOVE must reward you with WISDOM. As the result of a life of love a profound knowledge must irrefutably come to you; for the fire of love emits the "LIGHT OF WISDOM".

Your spiritual condition must become brighter; the spiritual darkness must disappear…. You must be able to recognize correctly the association of things and conditions. You must learn to understand ME and MY governing and working; you must also be able to give explanation, because now I MYSELF can be active within you. Then you are thinking, acting and speaking only in MY WILL.

The degree of recognizing is commensurate to the degree of the maturity of your soul…. for I do not speak of a dead knowledge, which is transmitted to you in your schools… to the contrary. I speak of the live knowledge that alone must be taken as "RECOGNITION". I speak of the "WISDOM from GOD"!

This Wisdom cannot be gained other than through LOVE. Only through the "WORKING OF THE SPIRIT" can this Wisdom get to earth and be received by a heart, which permits the brilliant light to beam into it because it is full of LOVE.

Only Love gives and only Love receives, whilst school-like knowledge remains dead for the one who is without love.

You all should see to it that the Light of Recognizing beams up within you. Only then you approach again the condition of the brightest light, which made you happy in the beginning and which you must regain in order to be happy again.

AMEN
