The power of faith

2nd April 1847

[1] In faith lies the great promise and resurrection. Just as I, the one, have risen from My own strength and power, so everyone will be resurrected through the power of faith in himself, if faith has embraced Him who is life itself. For there faith has life itself and does not need someone to awaken it from death, but it is rather the alarm clock in him who has it.

[2] And so it is, that every one "will live and must live" by his faith. For faith is the body of love. It is the pure soul or the intelligence of existence.

[3] Love is the eternal spirit in this body. And if the body of faith is there and built from the One who was, is and will be Life itself forever – how could he be without love, without spirit, who has grown out of Love, which is Life itself ?!

[4] So whoever believes in Him who came, comes and will come from eternity as a life out of God, Himself God, the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the end, without beginning and without end – he already has eternal life in himself.

[5] But no-one can live without a belief, neither temporally nor forever. If the belief is stupid, so is life; if faith is judged, so is life. He who is bound in faith, is also bound in life, unless the spirit makes him free.

[6] Therefore believe rightly and in Me, who am the Life and the resurrection Myself, you will also be resurrected in your faith and will live your faith forever! Amen.

[7] That says He who is the Resurrection and Life Itself. Amen. Amen. Amen.
