About the coming of the Father in Jesus
14th March 1841, Anniversary day, Father’s answer to the servant
[1] Now, then, write a short word, which shall announce to you My coming in your midst! For if I come as Father, I come in the complete silence of heart. My thunders merely proclaim to you the nearness of God, and the tribulations the great, inexorable Judge, as do all the great creations, the great, powerful Creator and Lord over all.
[2] But if you feel gentle love in your hearts for Me, your holy, good Father, then know that the Father is not far away! For no-one can love Me unless he has My love. But no-one can have My love from anywhere else but from Me. But whoever has My love, he also has Me, Who am the Eternal Love Myself.
[3] But if My love will be with you, then I will also be with you! Whatever you do in My name, you do in My love. But whatever you do in My love, that you also do in Me. But whoever is in Me and acts, I am also in and with him.
[4] But if you invite Me to come to you, how should I not do so, after which your heart carries a living desire? And so ask yourselves in your heart today, and your love for Me will faithfully tell you, if and when I will come to you!
[5] Behold, I am one who follows love until the end of all worlds. Therefore love and believe – so I will be in the midst of you and in you – which will faithfully proclaim to you the great comfort of your heart.
[6] But listen, when I will come, you do not have to occupy your stomach too much and hold all kinds of worldly chatter to your ear. But talk like the two disciples walking to Emmaus, and you will also share in their joy. But if you do like the silly women and the mindless and loveless harlots, your holy Father will not be able to stay for too long in your midst.
[7] Let the world be what it is, for I am more than all the world! Let the rulers be what they are, for I am more than all rulers! Let the harlots be what they are, full of unfaithfulness in their hearts, for My love is gentler, more faithful and more tender than that of all the worldly, worthless girls and boorish harlots. For truly, in this time no maiden has any love anymore. She loves the man only for what he has or is; for the man she gives not a penny, let alone her strong, vain self-love.
[8] Let the worldly scholars be what they are, for My grace infinitely outweighs countless scholars! Let the external church be as it is, and take the spider as a symbol for it, how in fine weather it stretches it's threads wide to catch all kinds of creatures in it's net to satiate it's great belly; but when different weather approaches, this animal makes every effort to secure it's work from destruction, but strong winds from the heights and violent downpours come at once and put an end to it's robber's nest! But look now into the events of this time, and I tell you, you will soon see that it is so! But I stand higher and deeper than any church! Therefore, look upon Me, you who have already recognized Me a little in your hearts, then your ears will never be bothered by the chattering of church teeth. For pure love, which is the only true church through the living faith and the living word, does not chatter!
[9] And so avoid such things out of love for Me – and keep Me like a good friend who wants to leave too soon. When the departing one sees how his beloved clutches to him, he turns back again and does not leave the house until he has completely won the bride!
[10] So do you also as a tender bride! Does not the lover listen at the gate of his beloved before he enters her chamber, that he may hear a secret praise from her mouth? But when he has heard this, how he is filled with joy and cannot wait for the gate to open! And once inside, he cries out with Peter and Jacob: "Lord, it is good here!"
[11] But if he finds his chosen one immersed in foolish squabbles, chattering nonsense, or even praising another – listen, the beloved, as you say, will secretly "shake off the dust" and abandon the chosen fool in all her silliness!
[12] Think, then, that I do not always fall into the house with the door, but also wait outside the door! If I hear what pleases Me, then I enter; if not, then I only leave My footsteps in the dust!
[13] If you want to have Me as your guest, do what pleases the guest, and I will enter. But once I have entered, then do not let Me go again, no matter how constrained I show Myself to you! And truly, if you do what is right, I will remain in your midst now and always!
[14] But listen, only in the pure love of your heart will you all recognize that the high, abiding guest is your holy, good Father, who has come to you and His kingdom with Him! Amen. I say this, the high guest, as your holy, good Father! Amen.
