Gifts of Heaven · Volume 1 · Chapter 4

A greeting from the heights

19th April 1840

[1] This word, addressed to Ans. H. (Anselm Hüttenbrenner, who recorded the "secondary Words" in a diary and also wrote down the main work "The Household of God" with texts from the Old and New Testaments), is a testimony to him that I like his work! And if he continues to diligently accomplish it out of love for Me as he began it, he is to know that I have already put My hand on the lever of the lock to raise it over his head and suddenly let a great stream of the light of grace pour over his head. And My blessing is then never again to depart from him, his children and children's children. And he shall no longer care for them physically, but (only) spiritually.

[2] Isn't it harder to care for the body than for the spirit? – Therefore lay the heaviness on Me and keep the lightness for yourselves so that you may remain free in all your actions and your children may recognize the great love of the Holy Father in heaven, who is and will be, the only Giver of all good gifts eternally. This is what I, the dear Father, am saying to him, so that he may trust Me completely. For I am even faithful in all My promises.

[3] And I also tell him that I will give to everyone who will contribute to the spreading of the light out of Me, to the knowledge of the good out of My love and the truth out of My wisdom for the great glorification of My name that will soon follow, which will give new birth and in it, also the soon to come full rebirth with a new name; and I will give him the tenderness of My Love, like My dear, beloved John, the Secret Scribe of My Word.

[4] May this be a good greeting to him (A.H.), the first time literally from Me, on the day of his birth! – This I say, the eternal, good, dear and holy Father! Amen.
