2497 Working of the spirit.... partition.... forces of the underworld....

October 6, 1942: Book 33

Dark forces can never again assert themselves in the spheres of light, and this knowledge is therefore so important because it refutes many misguided teachings. As soon as the spirit of God is active in a person, i.e., as soon as God Himself obviously works through a person by transmitting His word to earth through him, a wall of separation is also erected so that evil forces remain separated from that person as long as the spirit of God is at work, so that a contamination of the divine word through erroneous teachings is excluded. Consequently, the forces of the underworld cannot express themselves in the usual way, that they confuse the thoughts of man and make him receptive to their teachings. And that is why they try to touch the truth of the divine word in other ways.... They scatter dubious thoughts into the human being's heart as soon as the spirit from God is no longer directly active. They try to convey knowledge to him in the form of truth which contradicts the knowledge received from God and thus undermine the strength of faith, they bring dubious thoughts into his heart and constantly endeavour to shake the strength of faith. Yet the beings of light are constantly concerned for the human being who has declared himself willing to accept the truth from God. The will to serve God earns the human being the strongest protection from the beings who are full of light and power and can also work accordingly.... divine wisdom is unfathomable for people who only research without love. It is inconceivable to want to penetrate it systematically and therefore wisdom cannot be taught but must be recognized through loving activity. No human being can therefore put himself into a knowing or seeing state through training, but only the love of his heart makes him capable of seeing and knowing about hidden things. Intellectual knowledge can certainly be attained, but never wisdom, which must be born in the heart through active love, which is therefore an expression of the divine spiritual spark resting in man towards the soul of man. Man can certainly be pointed by teachings to the path on which he can reach the truth from God. But he must walk the path himself if he is to become enlightened and come to realization. And therefore only through the working of the spirit will the human being be introduced to the truth, for this working of the spirit is the result of loving activity, which is why only those teachings which are imparted to people through the working of the spirit can lay claim to complete truthfulness and consequently everything can be rejected which does not correspond to this wisdom conveyed to people from above. For the truth is where God obviously works....

Amen
