1096 The power of evil....

September 17, 1939: Book 20

The power of evil over the human soul is immense and has a terrible effect.... If it is not resisted by man, it poisons all his thoughts and feelings and the spiritual state that currently dominates the earth makes itself felt. The spiritual state of humanity is clearly expressed by the events of our time. Humanity rages against each other without mercy, and without insight it fights each other and does not regocnize its spiritual state.... it does not give an account of what lies at the root of humanity's boundless misery.... Everyone has only himself and his advantages in mind and does not shy away from appalling means in order to exploit this advantage. And all compassion, all mercy has disappeared among mankind. Only hatred and discord prevail on earth, the commandment of love is completely disregarded and no-one regards his neighbour as God's creature.... It has become an almost unstable state, a raging among each other that eclipses everything that has gone before.... And who brought about this depravity among people? Who was the cause of this immense spiritual decay of the whole of humanity? It lacks the will to resist, it lacks the strength to offer resistance against the onslaught of this very evil power.... Man could overcome every temptation if he would ask for the necessary strength, but he does not desire it, he carelessly passes by where the strength to resist is offered to him and is available to him unmeasured.... He switches God off, so to speak, and believes that he does not need His support, and the consequence of this is that he is no longer a match for the evil power.... The consequence of his arrogance is the deep fall, for the opposing power wrestles down the will, it first weakens it in order to finally render the human being completely without will, and then his strength is no longer great enough to free himself from the enemy's shackles if he endeavours to escape it.... For he lacks a saviour, he lacks support in adversity. And if you humans now consider how firmly the adversary holds you in his hands, how he has complete control over you, you must now look for a way out of the captivity into which you have brought yourselves.... you must still turn to Him in the last hour Who can deliver you from every adversity and danger.... and you will truly not make a wrong request.... He will strengthen you with His strength, He will guide your thoughts towards the right realization, and He will support everyone who repentantly regocnizes his previous wrong thinking in his striving for truth, for the right.... In every spiritual weakness He gives you strength to resist, and He wrestles as it were with the adversary for every person's soul.... And the lord sends His messengers so that they may tell of God's love and warn the unbelievers or strengthen those who are weak in faith, so that they may be guided by their realization in the battle with the adversary, so that they may take the right path and indeed turn to the father in heaven for help, Who will truly not deny it to them.... They only have to sacrifice their will to the eternal deity, they must not want what appears to them to be the only desirable thing but only think of the salvation of their souls, and thus they must also be willing to detach themselves from the world which had dominated them until then. And if this were achieved without severity and violent measures, the judgement would remain averted, but for those who are hardened and hard-hearted the voice will resound more forcefully and the hardship on earth will provide the clearest proof of this, that God will not allow Himself to be mocked and that He therefore allows the events to come upon earth and its inhabitants, as it were as a last call from above, so that He either pulls humanity back from the abyss or announces its eternal downfall, for this is the only means which can still remedy the spiritual hardship on earth....

Amen
