The Lord’s ‘home’
22nd February 1843
[1] Tell My daughter – before I will make known to you the meaning of these texts – that I like such thoughts of her and such desires of her heart much better than all the others, which have more worldly things in mind. If she continues like this, she could indeed very soon become a fondling of My love! Let such assurance be to her a sure sign of My pleasure in her desire, and at the same time a sign that I have brought Myself closer to her! And now follow the meaning of the texts!
[2] Where the finger of the pointer fell, three texts were touched, namely the 27th, 28th and 29th verses of the gospel of Mark. (According to Luther's translation of the 28th, 29th and 30th verse.) Therefore, we want to touch these three texts as well and show their meaning in a conscious intention. And so listen!
[3] "And when He came home, His disciples asked Him: "Why could we not cast him out? And He said: "This kind can go out through nothing but prayer and fasting. And they went away from there and walked through Galilee. And He did not want anyone to know."
[4] "Since He came home". Where is He at home? Everywhere where His disciples are! For where one has love for and where one finds love at the same time, there one is at home. Therefore I am also at home with you – since I love you and you love Me! And when you will move there where more of the purer love is at home than here, and I in general am therefore also "more at home" than here, there you too will be the more at home than here!
[5] "And the disciples asked Him". You too will be able to ask Me there more easily and more carefree than here. For where one is "more at home", there one can also discuss more freely. And the disciples immediately asked: "Why could we not cast him out (the spirit of darkness)? Or: "Why did we not understand You in Your former place as we do here, and why were You not so outspoken and strong there as You are here?"
[6] And I tell you and will tell you: Firstly, I am more at home here than in the former place. And secondly, you would have had to pray and fast a lot for such gifts of former places, so that the enemy would not have looked to the map. For where I am less at home, there the enemy is more present! But where I am more at home, there the enemy is less, and there not so much of praying and fasting, or not so much constant vigilance is needed to keep the higher gifts from the drool of the brood of vipers.
[7] From there it will then also be easy "to walk through Galilee", and "no-one will know” anything about it. For indeed, it is not My will that someone should learn something about it before time, unproclaimed! But "Galilee" denotes freedom. And "to walk through Galilee" means: to be on free foot.
[8] I think, however, that it will hardly be necessary to tell it to you in clearer German [English – tr.]; for you may understand it just as well with your hands as My dear text pointer now, where things stand!
[9] Therefore pay attention to this! For, as I have led the hand of My daughter to the right spot in the book, so will I also lead you, according to this indication, to the right spot, where I am "more at home" than here. Understand this well! For I, your Father, am giving you this declaration in this hour. Amen.
