0435 Agreements from acquaintances....

May 26, 1938: Book 9

Do not let your faith in your God be robbed from you.... the Lord and Savior knows better what is necessary for you, and He will therefore never hesitate to intervene by means of His power and to raise up an army of warriors who are to defend His word and His name on earth. This is why the call has gone out to willing children on earth, and the wise followed the call.

The earthly valley accommodates many people who want to extinguish the glimmer of light that shines for them because they shy away from the light and believe they are walking more protected in the darkness. Because the light illuminates too glaringly their errors and weaknesses.... they wrap it with the coat of darkness, then they feel better and can follow the wrong better. Suffering for these humans is if they are made aware on their wrongful life, and they would far rather like to remain in the old condition than to think of a serious transformation of their inner being. Then the greatest light has no ennobling influence; they prefer to withdraw again into their twilight state and are only ever active when it is necessary to achieve earthly success. The spiritual progress of the soul is not particularly important to them....

But you must resist temptations of this kind. It is not any spoken thoughts that reflects eager reflection, but the contradiction is based only on the concern that constant writing might deprive you of the ability to be active in the same way as up to now. The commandment of charity is to be applied and obeyed, but where will a person who thinks only of himself observe such things....

And already this love for one's neighbor should express itself there, then every proclamation would also have the power to penetrate there.... the words of God would have to resound in the hearts and trigger a feeling of well-being, but then people put themselves into a kind of resistance and then turn away inwardly because the truth does not seem quite so bearable to them and they therefore prefer to remain in the previous ignorance where they feel more comfortable. Therefore leave them the will until they confess it of their own accord, but continue to do your duty, asthe heart and love of the Lord commands you.... for the blessing will not fail to come....

Amen
