A TEACHER IS EDUCATED BY GOD HIMSELF

I shall fill in all the gaps in your knowledge as far as you need knowledge. As human beings you are still incapable of penetrating into the most profound depths of wisdom for which a high degree of perfection is needed, which a being usually attains only in the spiritual realm where it can be fully enlightened by My love.

On earth a person whom I entrust with a ministry must be equipped with sufficient spiritual knowledge so as to leave no gaps and enable him to answer any questions that may be put to him.

Whatever a man would like to know, he will always be able to obtain an answer from those whom I teach directly through the Spirit and who will have all the necessary knowledge. However, they, too, will be introduced to it slowly and I am always aware when they require certain knowledge to answer questions.

And so I always prepare them in due time, or I answer questions directly as when I invited you to ask Me when some question is bothering you.

But you who wish to know things should always go to the source for there you have the guarantee that you are receiving the truth from Me. Do not allow ignorant people to teach you, those who have not been called to the ministry by Me.

Everyone who wants to serve Me is welcome as a worker in My vineyard. However, I assign him to that particular place where he is most suited to work for Me. And so everyone of My servants has a different task.

Not every worker in My vineyard can be a teacher, but he can help to spread the truth by passing on the right doctrine and seeing to it that the truth out of Me is being spread abroad.

He can also, in order to pass on this doctrine verbally read to his fellow-men My directly conveyed word, which will radiate strength accordingly and impress people as My direct address.

But not everyone should think that he is fulfilling My will when he is making use of a knowledge received through My Word thinking to possess the right and ability to teach…. He must first ask from the depth of his heart for enlightenment of his spirit, so that I Myself can speak through him, even if he should use his own words.

Then his speech will be simple and clear and touch the heart of everyone of good will. But as soon as man begins to give intellectual interpretations, he is no longer passing on 'My Word' and will not have much success. Then he is not working in My vineyard because he himself is still too much in the forefront when he should leave the work to Me.

A ministry requires constant direct instruction by Me which provides the teacher with comprehension and a proper judgment that enables him to teach.

When I convey My Word to earth directly so that it can be written down, then that which has been written must also be passed on to the fellowmen. For that task I need faithful servants who do everything to spread My Word, and I shall bless them for it because the spreading of 'My Word' during the final time before the end is the most effective counter-measure curbing the activity of My adversary who keeps endeavoring to keep men in utter darkness through falsehood and error.

You shall help to spread the light abroad so that many people may gain strength through My Word to help them find their way out of the darkness. And verily, I choose the right servants that will fulfill the task assigned to them, each according to his ability and willingness.

However, if a man should ask Me from the depth of his heart I can also give him the ability to speak for Me and My Kingdom. Then he will in a straightforward and simple way bear witness of Me and endeavor to guide his fellow-men to faith and love. He himself will live a life of love and as a result his spirit will be awakened so that I can use him as a mouth- piece and he renders with his own words what I make him say.

These speeches will not sound scholarly; they will not be guided by the intellect, but come from the heart, for I only speak through the heart.

When I, however, convey My Word to earth directly I Myself educate a suitable teacher whom I equip with a knowledge that he can comprehend himself and pass on to his fellow-men. Then he is the right vessel into which My Spirit can flow. As man he also has the gift to enlighten a fellowman, who seeks enlightenment. I have assigned him this task and he will work in accordance with My will and consequently be able to truthfully answer any questions put to him because he does not lack the necessary knowledge.

Everyone who earnestly wishes to serve Me I shall put in the right place assigning him his particular task which he should perform as best he can, and My blessing will always be with him and his work.

AMEN
