A Fatherly invitation

14th October 1840

[1] As it can be – but it is left to your free will – and I will not, accusingly, see whether you have done it or not; but since you have become My children and friends, you can still do it in this year, if you can and want. But if you do it, then you should all five – counted with My gentle servant – be together. But I will provide you with a very useful sixth and, a little later, a seventh disciple, who will give you and Me a lot of joy.

[2] Right, children and friends, you will now also think: But what does the good Father want again? Something extraordinarily great is certainly coming. Yes, I say, something extraordinarily great is coming again, which I would like to show you, but still cannot show you without this small sacrifice, since you lack the natural impression for this purpose. Because in certain things – since you are not yet completely reborn in the spirit – a natural view is still extremely necessary for you, if you should again be initiated into a larger drop of My mercy. And that is now the case! I want to pull you one step higher again and therefore plan to do this with you. However only if you can and will, easily. Nobody should neglect anything of his own! So hear what I mean by: "as it can be!"

[3] But that is not about My will, but only the wish of My love that you would go to the foot of the so-called Klein [Small] Alps on a Sunday, where I am happy to take you – but not up to it's top, but only up to the foot, which is not far from the place called "Übelbach".

[4] But if you get there, you should keep a very attentive eye on everything, and first of all on the Alps lying in front of you, on their elevations and depressions, how and with what trees they are covered, with what bushes, herbs and sorts of grass they are clothed around their feet, and what the earth looks like there, what kind of stones there are, whether and what kind of minerals are contained there in the bowels of these mountains. You should examine all of this yourself as much as possible, or at least thoroughly inquire about it there.

[5] You should, however, pay the greatest attention to your feelings in all of this. Because that is actually the main reason why I intend this for you. And there you will, through a special admission from Me, feel overcome by feelings that you have never imagined and still less felt, which will tell you more than all the books in the world can contain!

[6] But why I refer you to this area in particular, will be explained to you in great detail in the subsequent big discussion.

[7] See, if any worldly ruler had ordered you to do such a thing, you would have left everything to do it. Of course you would then organise "business meals". But I will also provide you with the meals of My kingdom. And so it will not harm you, temporally and forever.

[8] But therefore you should already practice a little in the world, as the preschool of eternal life, to handle My business. Because if you will remain faithful to Me, then only great deals will await you in My kingdom, of which you now have no idea.

[9] See, I once said to My servants and disciples: “Go into all the world and preach the gospel to all creatures! And seal them with your blood and life! Because whoever seeks and loves life, he will lose it, but whoever hates it and detests it for the sake of My name, he will receive it, even if he dies a thousand times. And do not fear those who are only able to kill the body, but cannot inflict harm on the soul, but rather fear him who can eternally corrupt and kill the soul and the body."

[10] See, I do not say any of this to you because I well recognize your weakness; but I say to you: “What do you stand here idle all day, has nobody hired you? So you also go to My vineyard, and I want to give you what is right." That, see, that I am saying to all of you in this additional word! So

go there, if you want and if you can, and do your own thing afterwards. But then I will come to you as soon as possible and do My part!

[11] So again, mind you: "As it can be!" Amen. This I, your loving Father say. Amen. Amen. Amen.
