1042 Spiritual guides.... why calling for help is necessary....

August 8, 1939: Book 19

It is so incomparably comforting to be allowed to live life on earth in the constant care of spiritual guides, and this thought is extremely reassuring for all those who lack willpower and yet do not want to act contrary to God's will. Anyone who lives under constant threat must also have constant protection around him in order not to become anxious despite the threat.... And every human being is in a vulnerable position in view of the fact that the opposing power is constantly fighting for his soul and therefore has the greatest interest in bringing him down. But if the human being takes refuge in the spiritual forces which were given to him for protection during his earthly life, they can now carefully protect the earthly child and block the evil forces' path to the human being's soul, and this means a tremendous relief for the struggling soul. However, it is absolutely necessary to call upon these forces, which are indeed ready to help at any time but are not allowed to give their help without being asked according to divine law. For the power of love of these perfected spiritual beings is so great that they would not let any earthly being get into trouble and danger of its own accord, but consequently there would also be no possibility for the human being to get into danger at all; and the dangers, on the other hand, must influence the earthly child to be active of its own accord and also to call upon spiritual help of its own accord in order to thereby manifest its free will, which inevitably has to be offered to the father in heaven first. But if he turns to the father in heaven of his own accord, then every opportunity is also given to the spiritual friends to provide him with all conceivable assistance, for then the preconditions are fulfilled which make the human being on earth partaker of the divine gift of grace, which also includes being looked after by spiritual friends. In this you will always regocnize the lord's wise care.... Help is available to you in unlimited measure, it is offered to you in every form, and you are never defenceless in life when you need it and therefore sincerely request it.

Amen
