Where Your Treasure Is, There Is Your Heart

12. You should also not gather for yourselves treasures on earth, which the moths and rust consume and which thieves dig up and steal. But gather for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moths nor rust consume them and where thieves neither dig up nor steal. For where your treasure is, there is also your heart

13. The eyes are the lamps of the body. So if you see clearly, your whole body will be full of light. But if your eyes are lacking or if they are dull, your whole body will be dark. Now if the light that is in you is darkness, how great the darkness will be!

14. No one can serve two masters. Either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and the mammon at the same time. (Chap. 26:12-14)

Christ explains, corrects
and deepens the word:

Only the person who does not believe in God, in His love, wisdom and goodness, collects treasures on earth. Many people pretend to believe in God; however, you will recognize them by their works. Many people talk about the love and the works of God – by their deeds alone, will you recognize them.

Many people talk about the inner kingdom and about the inner wealth, and yet gather in the barns for themselves personally and accumulate worldly riches for themselves personally, so as to be held in high esteem by the people.

The one who is concerned only about his personal well-being does not yet sense the bird of prey that has already raised its wings to destroy the nest and steal the wealth, which the rich man, the builder of the nest, calls his personal property.

However, the one who strives first for the Kingdom of God gathers inner values, inner treasures. He will also receive in the temporal all that he needs and beyond that.

The one who is rich in his inner being will not live in want externally. But the one who is externally rich and hoards his wealth will live in want some day. The one who gathers treasures on earth will find them taken away from him so that he may reflect on the treasure of the inner being and be able to go into the life, into the inner wealth.

The soul will lack divine light for so long until it strives first for the Kingdom of God. And as long as it is still possible on earth, a light-poor soul will again be born into a light-poor body and will perhaps live in poverty among the poor. The recognition will come that the treasure, the wealth, is in God alone.

The one whose heart is with God will be rich in inner values and will enter the Kingdom of Peace.

I, Christ, give you a criterion, so that you may recognize where you stand – either in the light or in the shadow, “For where your treasure is, there is also your heart,” and there your soul will be one day.

Take heed: The one who reads these words and stands at the turning-point of the old to the New Era should hasten, so that he may still find his spiritual life! For when the New Era, the era of Christ, is manifest over the whole earth and the Inner Life is lived, incarnations will no longer be possible for those who strive for external values. Then, incarnations will also no longer be possible for the worldly rich, so that as the poorest among the poor they atone for what they neglected to do as the rich.

Once the Kingdom of Peace of Jesus Christ has taken further evolutionary steps, there will be neither poor nor rich. All people will then be rich in My Spirit, for they will have opened the inner kingdom. They will also live accordingly on the new earth, under another heaven.

For this reason, be prepared to serve God and, out of love for God, your fellow man as well.

Recognize: No one can serve two masters, God and mammon. Only selfless love unites all people and nations. Both the human being on earth and the soul in the spheres of purification will one day be led to the decision to serve God or mammon, to be for God or against God. There is nothing in between: either for God, or for the satanic.
