WORD OF GOD... through Bertha Dudde

Acquiring virtues ....

You ought to practise patience and make an effort of cultivating alife of peacefulness and gentleness in mercy and righteousnessand humility, in which case you will also always live a life of love,for love alone will shape you such that you will acquire all thesevirtues, that you will endeavour to treat your neighbour with loveand therefore live according to My will.

And precisely that which I expect of you will be lacking in you aslong as you are still controlled by My adversary. And you can alsorecognise to whom you belong if you seriously scrutiniseyourselves as to what you still need to become perfect. For youpossessed these virtues in your perfect state when you stillbelonged to Me and were blissfully happy ....

By turning away from Me you changed yourselves into theopposite, all the bad characteristics awakened in you when youaccepted My adversary’s nature who lacked all love .... You shallreach perfection again in earthly life and therefore must also castoff all negative attributes and adopt your fundamental natureagain; you must live a life of love which will awaken all virtues inyou so that you will become divine living creations again.

Yet this will always require an inner battle until you discard yourinitial nature, for time and again you will be provoked by Myadversary into impatience, contentiousness and a quick-tempered nature, time and again he will want to harden yourhearts, to obscure your sense of justice and prompt you tobecome arrogant, for he does not want you to become perfectbut keep hold of you as beings like himself whom he candominate.

Yet you will have to wage this battle, for every ascent requiresforce towards the one who keeps you constrained. And you canbecome victorious if you hand yourselves over to Me in Jesus, ifyou appeal to Me to help you become again what you were in thebeginning.

You must always consciously work on yourselves, you mustrecognise when you have failed and relapsed into your oldmistakes, and you must repeatedly request strength from Me forthe transformation of your nature. Then I will recognise that yourwill is sincere and I will truly help you in reaching your goal.

Most of all you must discard all arrogance, overcome all faults,because then you will also recognise them as faults once thearrogance has given way ....

And as soon as you live with love this love will also encourageyou to change your nature, then you won’t be able to helpyourselves but think righteously, to let mercy prevail, to alsoquietly and patiently endure your fellow human beings’ failingsand you will try to gently influence your neighbour if you want tohelp him accomplish his change of nature like yourselves...

As soon as all divine qualities break through in you again due tolove you will also safely reach your goal of unification with Me,which can only take place with a similar being as Myself, becausethis is based on My law of eternal order ....

Time and again you should exercise self-criticism as to how muchcontrol the adversary still has over you and influences you. Andyou should always resist him when he wants to tempt you intoreverting into faults which you endeavour to discard. Onethought of Me and he must let go of you and can no longeroppress you .... It is just that you have to muster the serious willof accomplishing this transformation of your soul, for you will beapproached by temptations every day, often motivated by yourneighbour who is impelled by the adversary to agitate you sothat you fall back into you old mistakes.

And time and again you will have to prove yourselves, yet assoon as you prevail, as soon as you consciously work atimproving yourselves, a glorious reward will also beckon you, forearthly life does not last long but the spiritual kingdom will grantyou a blissful life and you will be able to work in light andstrength and freedom with Me again, for your nature will havebecome like My own again which will also signifies an eternalunity, for you then will have become as perfect even as yourFather in heaven is perfect ....

Amen
