The Path to the true, living Church! Obedience, Church, Rose 1. Oh Lord! Here we have three content-heavy words! – Would You perhaps reveal them to me graciously in your great love, for the easy understanding of the enquirer W. H. and her siblings – since she, even though quite young, still, in the eyes of your sinful servant, has some small longing for you. – Oh Lord! If it is Your Holy Will, answer this meager plea of your useless and lazy servant, and let me not become ashamed in the glorification of Your most exalted, mighty and holy Name! 2. Well then, write! 3. Do you still remember the short sentence I have imparted to you, while we were on our way to this place yesterday evening? – Look at that, you’ve forgotten half of it! So it is necessary to call it into your mind, before your request may be granted. 4. The sentence went like this: “Why are you looking at the stars, so astonished and are afraid for your soul? What do you think, what do you want, what is it that you want to know? – Love! – Thus you will learn what you do not know and what you are to know.” 5. Behold, how you gazed at the stars yesterday, blind and sighing, not knowing who the “Lord of the house” is – you are now looking just like that at the three words presented to you by the aforementioned girl, and you simply do not know what to make of them. 6. Look, you have asked for the topic rather than for the permission from Me, if you should do this! If I were as ambitious as men, I would walk out on you this time, so you would become aware of how much of a fool you are! 7. But since I am not as men are, and since you are not proud on account of your profound stupidity, I will always tell you what you are asking for, so you may know it, for the benefit of others. 8. You see, ‘Obedience’ is the path to the true, living church, which is My living Word, written and uttered from eternity in the heart of every man and angel. 9. The ‘Rose’ however means the purest and most fragrant love for Me out of the church of the heart. But just like the master flower grows on thorny bushes, so too is the path to the true church, the place, where My Grace is solely at home, somewhat thorny as well. However, exactly because of that, the pure love – whose roots provide appropriate nourishment to the thorny bush in the garden of the childlike obedience – is the highest, most beautiful and holy possession – yes, love alone is the everlasting, most blissful life itself, and whoever does not carry this royal flower spiritually within his heart, will hardly ever enter into the great, eternal kingdom of heaven. 10. Thus, obedience is the garden. The life lived in obedience is the good roots of the thorny rosebush. Even though they yet remain in the dark and lightless soil, they are nevertheless the primary bearers of the bush, and finally of the bloom itself. The church however resembles the thorny bush, and the thorns upon it are all the trials of freedom and the numerous temptations of the world, but simultaneously the fire suckers of love, just like the real thorns on a rosebush are suckers of the electric fire. But the rose is finally the beautiful symbol of love itself! 11. So listen, My dear young inventor of these three words! Become a rose as well, and as such, My dear daughter, so that the mystery that keeps you trapped in the world may one day become clear to you! 12. Come soon into My garden and blossom into a gorgeous flower of eternal life therein, where you will hear the most furtive sounds of My paternal voice once again! 13. What My servant is telling you applies to your siblings as well! – Amen. – This say I, your most loving Father, Amen. |
