0790 Divine will.... apparent periods of destruction also God's work....

February 27, 1939: Book 16

The whole universe is ruled by the will of the divine creator, and so it is never possible that only approximately His will can be worked against by forces which are nevertheless also subordinated to His will. The destructive influence of these can only assert itself spiritually on the creatures which animate the earth as long as they themselves are in free will and the opposing power tries to seize this will in order to increase the distance from God and finally cause a complete separation from Him. However, if you oppose these forces with your full will, they are powerless and cannot do anything in the universe. And this has to be made understandable to the human being, that everything depends solely on his will, that supreme happiness for eternity and likewise deepest night and damnation are solely caused by the human being's will.... and that your state on earth is likewise caused by the human being's will.... that you form and shape it yourselves depending on whether you turn towards or away from the divine creator by virtue of your free will. It is so easy to understand that all spiritual good power immediately comes into contact with you if you willingly surrender to it in the endeavour to meet the Highest.... your creator.... to serve Him. Then no opposing force will have power over you and it would have to remain completely inactive if the whole of humanity only wanted to place its will at the creator's service. And if this is understandable to you, you will now also recognize the perfection of power of the one Who commands the entire universe. He guides and directs everything so that it will be indestructible for eternities.... that although enormous changes in the work of creation can be detected in the course of time, its basic elements remain indestructible.... and that the reason for such transformation or apparent periods of destruction is always to create a new possibility of further education for the innumerable spiritual beings. These transformations, which become necessary precisely because free will is not utilized in the right sense, are also related to the free will of the being. Although the evil spiritual forces are also entitled to free will, it finds its resistance in the material creation, and therefore every visible influence of spiritual power or higher will in nature or in existing works of creation will always have its origin in God, the almighty creator of heaven and earth, but such events can never be regarded as the expression of a counter-power of God, as a work of evil, for God alone rules over everything in the vast universe and the counter-power will never be sufficient to be able to intervene in God's reign and activity. Let this be said to you humans in order to strengthen your faith.... so that you may turn your will to the father in heaven alone and thereby free yourselves from the power of the one who wants to corrupt you....

Amen
