0474 Compromise.... acceptance of faith.... help in worldly need....

June 19, 1938: Book 10

Times will pass until the words of the lord are received by people, for in their blindness they do not want to recognize the work from above. And so God's wise plan is to make people receptive to consolation through constant pressure.... Man never wants to be made aware of difficult times when he is happy, but when he is unhappy he willingly lends his ear to the consolations contained in the word of God. You should hear what God's judgement has decreed for the children of the earth.... A complete change of laws has the consequence that man is forced to make so-called compromises in lack of freedom of his will.... On the one hand, he rejects the faith that teaches a continuation of life after bodily death.... but on the other hand admits that the highest power belongs to a divine being.... and that this divine being can intervene where the pressure of earthly power seems unbearable to people. There will come a time when the hardships of the measures will be of such a magnitude that a real resistance will be offered.... In such a situation the earthly child will then seek help from that supreme power.... The lack of faith will then be replaced by a confidence which expresses itself in such a way that the inner resistance to the divine teaching will break down and the word of God will be accepted with all fervour. Earthly power, on the other hand, will have to be content with only worldly things, for the deity has extraordinary means at its disposal where it is necessary to bring about clarification in the spiritual realm. God will never concede that in such a difficult time, when a person surrenders to His word with trust in God, he will be deceived in his confidence.... He will have to fulfil man's desire and visibly intervene in order to shake the earthly power, so that faith in the deity will be strengthened and souls will be brought to God the lord in great numbers. And when these have found the right path, the power will also have to give way.... it will break in the faith, which has become far stronger than before. For what people still lack today will still come to them with God's help.... even if it takes some time, because the father in heaven knows what His children need.... And if they immediately believe that they can achieve this without God's help, they will soon be taught otherwise and confess of their own accord the true faith in Jesus Christ, the son of God....

Amen
