1426 The adversary's endeavour to disrupt spiritual connections....

May 19, 1940: Book 23

Where the spirit of God is at work, beings turned away from God are understandably also active by trying to destroy something that could lead souls to God. And therefore the demonic forces will make use of all means at their disposal. They will first try to prevent the spiritual knowledge imparted to people from being made accessible to others. At first they will arouse a feeling of aversion or a certain resistance in them which, however, will very soon be overcome by the power of the divine word if the person is serious about his soul's life. Furthermore, the adversary will succeed in plunging the doubters into ever greater doubt, and if the prayer for enlightenment does not then come from the heart, the human being will never be able to master these doubts, and thus the adversary will have succeeded in his intrigue. Now, however, divine forces are just as eagerly at work to destroy the doubts that are known to them and therefore fight the adversary's activities with the utmost vigour. The power of the Holy Spirit works so obviously, and it endows the earthly child with the gift of spiritual vision if it were prevented from receiving and writing down mental transmissions. After all, the spirit from God only teaches people in order to make the path to God easier for them, i.e. more accessible, and thus the word should also be spread for this purpose. But those beings are hindered in whom the desire is stirred to arbitrarily destroy what they have received or to prevent the recipient from receiving it. God Himself places obstacles in their way in order to prevent them from destroying, for every gift from heaven is imperishable.... It would therefore never be able to be destroyed, yet spirit beings who want to destroy can easily exert their influence on people whose will is strong and whose arrogance does not allow them to accept something as truth which they cannot and do not want to affirm. Thus the evil power will influence them such that they will offer resistance to the divine word conveyed through the human mouth. But this will be without success. For the good spiritual power is stronger, and thus good and evil beings wrestle with each other, and the latter's endeavour is merely to weaken the effect of the divine word and to sever the connections which exist between the earthly child and the heavenly father, so that the human being becomes incapable of recognizing divine truth and thus also rejects the received word....

Amen
