2462 Trials to strengthen faith....

August 31, 1942: Book 33

A time of endless confusion has dawned, which is clearly recognizable spiritually and earthly. What people start earthly will bring little success and this will discourage people. However, spiritual endeavours will also be hindered and this will also endanger faith, i.e. those who are weak in faith will stop in their endeavours and likewise become discouraged. And yet this is permitted by God because precisely those who strive spiritually are facing a battle which requires full strength and they therefore have to become strong and this can only be achieved through temptations of all kinds. A strong faith will be demanded of people, the believers will be fought against with all means, and thus the strength of resistance must be great and the human being must be deeply rooted in faith in order to be able to stand firm. And therefore this time of turmoil can also be called a blessing, for it is meant to urge people to make a clear decision.... They are not yet in agreement about how they feel about God, they have not yet seriously considered these questions or left them unanswered because they do not recognize them as important. But now this very question will come to them so often that they will have to give it serious consideration. And the answer will depend entirely on how the coming time affects people. The concept of God can be clarified more easily for those who are severely affected by it, and they will then also join Him firmly and irrevocably. Equally, however, people can also want to deny a divine creator due to the severity of fate. But the human being is always prompted to reflect and the decision is therefore not a forced one but a free one insofar as the human being thinks for himself and makes his judgement, and he now gives an account of his actual relationship with God and can therefore be said to have made a free decision. This will be brought about by the coming time, which is therefore also necessary for humanity, which no longer respects its God....

Amen
