Instruction to the servant

15th March 1842

The servant: "My most beloved, most holy Lord, God and Father Jesus! Behold, I have a small concern again!"

[1] Well, well, it's already okay, don't make so many words for nothing! I already know what you want to ask Me. I have already given you the clearest instruction anyway!

[2] Why didn't you follow the better part of it? If you had stayed where you used to live, you would all have already become much richer. Because you would already have had the whole Saturn and had all the mountains you have drawn and also of the main work already as much as now.

[3] See therefore by how much you are behind! But if you do not soon watch to come into order with these very important testimonies, then I will not give them to you at all anymore.

[4] But where you now live, this cannot happen too easily because of the children and the new so- called court master, since you cannot have a closed room for yourself alone, so that you would first of all have no eavesdroppers if you should dictate to someone to write, and secondly also Andr. H.- W.'s children would be even more distracting if they knew what was happening in the presence of one or the other writer whom I would indicate to you – which would then make you unfree and anger you and therefore also more incapable for the pure reception of My word!

[5] If all these obstacles can be removed there, which will be very difficult, then you can indeed stay where you are; otherwise it is even your duty towards Me to again get your own apartment, as the former one was!

[6] Now you know everything you need! Behold, I do not command and do not say, "Do so!" But if you want to be free, make My counsel your commandment! Then you will fare well, and the brothers’ splinters will not sting you!

[7] Andr. H.-W., however, should be careful with the new court master that his "vessels" do not get an even stronger impact on his handsome youthful side than with the former one! I tell you this so that he may take precaution in My name in his house! For I am not yet "at home" there – except like a poor, weak beggar in a hospital, if he begs there completely exhausted for a bowl of strengthening soup.

[8] That is why I also can work little or often nothing there at all. My name alone is powerful there, since it is the Heaven’s Most High. But not equally powerful is the ‘I’ in you that goes out of Me, which at the beginning is only a most dull ray, which enlivens you, but for full strength must first become perfect through your love for Me, and, when it has become that, then only you can be newly enlivened and completely awakened to eternal life!

[9] See, where therefore I am still a weak beggar without power and strength – what am I to work there? There works, as I said, My name alone! But when I am awakened in man, then also all My power will be awakened in him. But there are still much possessions in that house; i.e. there is still much worldly stuff there in all boxes and closets, which must go out there before I come.

[10] My dear Andr. H.-W. Should observe this well – and by the „house", mostly his family is understood! Amen.

[11] But you, understand it too! Amen.
