If,
being in an assemblage of men, you call a person known to you, and he
comes to you; if you ask one or many men subservient to you to do
anything for you within the limit of his or their capability, and they
fulfill your request, satisfying it according to your desire, and even
beyond your desire, then be assured that, likewise, in God's Church, in
that great house of God divided into two halves
- the heavenly and the earthly - any of the members of the Church in
Heaven whom you call upon will come to your spiritual help conformably
to his grace and the abundance of his love. Ask him to do anything for
you that you please, especially anything relating to the Kingdom and
righteousness of God, and he will do it through his close association
with God, the Source of grace and power. God's saints also hear you -
as, for instance, the whole congregation hears you when you pray or
speak the Word - for they are in the Holy Spirit, and the Spirit is
everywhere present, and fills all things.
