0653 Endangered situation of christianity.... necessity of the work of the deity....

November 3, 1938: Book 14

Offer yourselves to the lord by overcoming yourselves and taming all intolerance for His sake, and soon nothing will be able to become a stumbling block for you. Whatever then stands in your way is only ever an attempt by the opposing forces to bring you down, and their joy is immense when they succeed. You must put these endeavours to shame and never again become entangled in the snares of evil. What is life but a constant battle against obstacles.... You are to prove yourselves in this battle, you are not to allow yourselves to be defeated but always emerge victorious yourselves, and the resistance you have to fight against will become less and less. For the power of your opponent will diminish with your strength. And every overcoming of yourselves brings you great benefit.... Your soul matures and soars upwards to bright heights because it liberates itself. However, if the weaknesses of the body are granted more rights than the soul, then the soul can easily be harmed far more than the body is benefited through false consideration. To prevent this, people are put to the test of patience, and then it is only advantageous to renounce bodily desires and think only of the good of the soul. Now try to give us your attention and listen:

The lord will not allow His creatures to make use of His name and thereby wrap the world in error. People want to reject what they should be completely committed to and, conversely, they accept without reservation what is only piecemeal.... Their zeal is to be praised, for they act with the best of intentions and do not want to go against the lord. And it will also be difficult to ever teach them otherwise, and yet such opposition should not prevent you from pursuing your activity as before. Whoever recognizes the present time and the endangered situation of true christianity will also have to have understanding for the extraordinary work of the deity. Anyone who recognizes the state of christianity today will himself consider it necessary for the lord to reveal Himself in order to inform people of His true will.... There have always been wise people devoted to the word of God, and they know only too well what effect a so-called formal faith can have, how it gradually leads to complete faithlessness.... and they would realize that people must always receive new strength if they are to remain in the word of God. And God can only give them this strength again through His word.... which in a new form.... never destroying the old, but only offered to people in pure clarity and unadulterated. No man works against God's will who willingly surrenders himself to the lord and thus only carries out what is the lord's will.... Immerse yourselves in the book of the fathers and read it in all wisdom after fervent prayer for understanding.... and you will pay attention and recognize that only that which the lord has already proclaimed when He walked on earth will ever happen.... And only truly pious people can pass judgement.... for those who want to serve God will also always do and recognize what is right. So only devote yourself to your spiritual activity with the same zeal and trust in God that He will lead you rightly on the path towards your eternal home....

Amen
