2338 God Himself shakes the thinking of people who strive for Him and yet reject His word....

May 16, 1942: Book 32

It is an unmistakable God-opposing influence if such an obvious gift of God's grace is not recognized for what it is.... as the work of God-connected forces, as an expression of God's will.... This is all the more regrettable because the spiritual adversity of the time is the reason for God's extraordinary activity, thus the reason for the supply of the divine gift of grace to earth, but humanity does not recognize the necessity of it, consequently it is not aware of the adversity it is in and, since it does not recognize the adversity, it does nothing to escape it. It does not look for the reason for its spiritual depression where it can be found.... And therefore it will not apply the lever where it is needed.... And this is the adversary's activity of spreading everything in the world as truth that has no claim to it.... It is also his work to weaken judgement and cloud clear insight. And even if divine gifts are offered, they are not recognized as such, even where the will to serve Him is present.... People strive towards God but do not recognize His word. And therefore God Himself approaches them in a way which imparts realization to them in a flash. For He does not leave them to His adversary but takes up the battle with him. He sends them news from another side which appears more credible to people but which is now accepted because the divine working is now unmistakable. And now the correspondence of what was offered through God's great love will also convince people who were previously unaware of God's working in the human being. And God still reserves this for Himself.... But He will come when it is commanded that He visibly expresses Himself.... He will come when even those people are in danger of going astray and deviating from the truth.... And this coming of His is imminent, and it will shake those people to such an extent that they will suddenly become enlightened and recognize both the necessity of God's activity as well as the adversary's activity.... They will become aware and also overlook the spiritual need and the infinite love of God, which brings help to those who want to come to Him. For He needs fighters and looks for them in the ranks of those who willingly offer their services to Him.... But if they want to serve Him, they must first be in the truth. They cannot fulfil the task of spreading the truth if they themselves are in error and do not recognize it. Thus the adversary must first be revealed and unmasked, the human being must see what havoc he is causing so that he will turn away from him of his own accord and now gladly accept the divine gift of grace because it is now comprehensible to him and therefore no longer arouses his will to reject it, but he now professes it and stands up for it with complete conviction.... because his heart can affirm everything God offers him from above....

Amen
