SUFFERING PRODUCES SPIRITUALITY IN SOUL AND BODY

You need only to come into the flow of MY power by consciously submitting yourself to ME and opening your heart to the rays of MY Love in order for the power of MY Love to become active in you. But it will be your soul more than your body that will experience this flow of strength and take a spiritual step forward.

But remember that you can help the body for there is still immature spirituality in you, because you are not yet perfect. And this spirituality needs your help so that they can come to maturity while on earth. And you can help by entrusting this spirituality to ME in quiet prayer so that I will give it strength. My opponent often tries to hinder you in this spiritual task using this unspirituality to depress you in body or spirit. But you should know that your prayer for this immature spirituality in you, will always bring results. So you must always turn to ME for help and protection from all attacks of MY opponent.

And believe ME that nothing is impossible and that I can work the unusual if you have such strong faith. --- Then these unspirituals must flee from you if they do not allow themselves to be softened and spiritualised by you. But in so doing they forfeit for themselves a great grace which has been offered to them in the privilege of being allowed to join you in your external form, your body, in order to come to maturity. Point out to them constantly this grace and urge them to join you with your will, so that as your soul matures their path of development can be shortened if they take your advice to heart.

But whatever suffering you can bear accept it in patience and trust, because it will certainly bring you to maturity, and you will one day be thankful for this suffering that you had to endure. When however this spirituality comes to maturity through your submission and patience then you can achieve a high state of maturity on earth and come closer to perfection when you must give up your earthly life.

My power is at all times at your disposal and it is sufficient for the spiritualising of all substances which are at the beginning of their development. But you must constantly ask for MY Strength and let it flow into your heart.

You must pray to ME turning your thoughts to ME and seeking only MY presence. There must be a longing in you for MY Love-rays which I will gladly fulfil. You must trust in ME alone and be willing to accept MY Love-rays which requires close contact with ME.

When you immerse yourself in spiritual thoughts of ME, your God and Creator, then you are ready to accept the flow of MY power and opening your heart Ican touch you again as in the beginning when you in ardent Love for ME were extremely happy.

My Love for you has remained the same. It is only your Love for ME that has diminished and it must again reach the level which originally made you extremely happy. And therefore you must come to ME and I will always be ready for you, and I will give you that which make you happy; MY Love-force flowing thorough your body and soul leading you to maturity and fulfilment.

In union with ME you can no longer suffer even though it may seem so to your fellowmen. A close union will make you insensitive to suffering. Then MY Power is stronger and will flow through you to bring you complete healing or when your hour has come to bring you to a painless crossing to the spiritual realm.

Because if you are closely united to ME, you have achieved your purpose on earth.

AMEN
