TRUE SERVANTS OF GOD - INVESTITIVE WORDS WORKING OF THE SPIRIT

You, who believe in Me and the working of My Spirit within you also receive from Me unusual knowledge. This makes it your duty to pass it on to your fellowmen. You do not receive it for yourselves but as intercessors between Me and those people to whom I cannot speak directly, but who urgently need true knowledge to help them fulfill their task on earth.

Their will to draw closer to their God and Creator must be stimulated. And, therefore, they must be enlightened regarding ME and their relationship with their God and Creator. They must learn about My will and their task on earth. Only then they can be made to account for the way they have made use of their life on earth. They must also learn about the process of evolution in which they find themselves and the cause of it all.

All this knowledge may help to make people think about themselves and give their so far worldly disposition a spiritual tendency, so that their pilgrimage on this earth is not in vain, but may result in their return to ME and everlasting bliss as was originally meant for them.

This task of spreading the knowledge conveyed to you from 'above' is the 'most important work' for you, which, if carried out, may bring a very great blessing. I MYSELF will support you in every task you may undertake for Me, for the result could be countless saved souls which I win back for Myself, which My adversary has to give back to Me, if they themselves desire it. These souls will then have completed an evolution that has lasted already endless times and which may be extended for an endless time if a man fails on earth.

To you, My messengers of light, I convey a vast knowledge that will truly enable you to carry a great amount of light into the spiritual darkness. Your fellowmen have only to open their hearts and ears to share in the great treasure of grace, which you may unearth because you are willing to serve ME. You are always to distribute the bread of heaven and the water of life, which with its quickening power is a true wine for your souls.

Then you are My true disciples whom I appoint to this ministry as I did with My first disciples when I held communion with them. Although I handed out to them material food, they knew that with My commission the distribution of 'spiritual nourishment' was meant. They knew that I called them to the teaching ministry, that they had to spread My Gospel abroad and to feed the souls of their fellowmen with My Word which they had received from Me and continued to receive through the working of My Spirit within them. Thus I had called these disciples to the ministry, commissioning them to go out into the world.

For this commission it was essential that they received the 'bread of heaven' and the 'water of life' from Me personally, for they had to pass on 'divine gifts' not any human doctrines that could not be of benefit for the soul.

While those proclaimers of My Word and their successors were called to the teaching ministry through the working of the Spirit within them, they were My representatives, My disciples and, therefore, the followers and successors of My first disciples who had received the true gospel from Me PERSONALLY.

Also now everyone may consider himself 'My disciple' and a successor of the first disciples whom I had called to the ministry, in whom My Spirit is active by introducing him 'from within' to a vast knowledge which cannot be won 'intellectually'.

Also if spiritual knowledge is taken over by way of tradition, My Spirit must first become active in the proclaimer, so that he can fully understand this spiritual knowledge and pass it on in such a way, that it has a most beneficial effect on those who are being taught.

Only a proclaimer whose Spirit is awakened can be a true successor to My disciples, but not those preachers who have made it their 'career' and believe to be able to acquire through studies a knowledge with the help of which they intend to work in My vineyard.

Such workers are unsuitable for they have to wait for their calling from Me personally. They cannot work properly in My vineyard because I Myself want to work through My Spirit within those who are active for ME and MY Kingdom.

This calling can also not come from a fellowman that took up his own ministry without an inner calling, who, too, was made a 'servant of God' by his fellowmen. This ministry is such a responsibility that there must be a special aptitude for it and human will or human actions are never sufficient to confer such an office.

I descended to earth Myself to bring mankind My Word, the knowledge that corresponds to the truth, enlightens and returns man to the state of cognition which was his before his apostasy from God.

I Myself brought this word to mankind and, since My stay on earth could only be limited, chose the suitable receptacles which I filled with My Spirit. I instructed them Myself and as they were leading a life of active love. I could promise them the working of My Spirit within them in the execution of My commission.

You people are aware that in view of the freedom of will the purest truth out of Me can be spoilt if the conditions no longer exist which make the working of My Spirit possible. Do you believe that all those men who claim to be 'My representatives on earth' as the successors of My first disciples show the prerequisite enabling the working of My Spirit? Thus the pure truth could no longer be guaranteed. A man who has not prepared himself to become a receptacle for My Spirit, can easily be influenced by My adversary whose aim it is at all times to undermine the 'pure truth out of Me'.

In view of this, many false doctrines could get a foothold without being exposed. For where My Spirit is still unable to work, there is darkness; My Spirit alone can kindle a light in man. The spark of My Spirit is 'love' and love is light and strength.

As the divine spark in the human heart, the spark of God's Spirit unites with the Eternal Father the result must be a brilliant light in which no error can last as it is being exposed and refuted through truth by Me as I will stand nothing but the pure truth which I want to make accessible to mankind, too.

You should understand that this was the true meaning of My last supper with My disciples, that they actually received the commission to bring men the pure truth and at the same time speak to them about My salvation work and My incarnation in Jesus, as I spoke to them: 'This do in remembrance of Me', For only through the proclamation of the pure gospel also the 'knowledge about My salvation work' could be conveyed to mankind.

As this knowledge is so essential I referred to it with those words as everyone, who wishes to gain beatitude should remember Me. However, while these 'investitive words' are misinterpreted and result in a completely futile performance there is still great darkness among men.

And therefore I commission also My last disciples to carry My Word into the world: the pure truth which I could convey to them through MY SPIRIT 'which effectually worketh in you that believe'. 1 Thes. 2:13."

AMEN
