2504 Fight of faith.... extraordinary work of the faithful....

October 11, 1942: Book 33

It is the powers of darkness that are now at work. Their power is so great because people place themselves under their control and that is why they can also rule. They poison people's thinking so that they distance themselves from what is good and true and are therefore enslaved by these powers. This is a complete turning away from God, because God is the true, the good, which people disregard. The powers of the underworld thus occupy people, and therefore their behaviour towards each other cannot be anything other than bad. The demonic influence goes so far that completely different guidelines are set up for people's way of life, which people recognize gladly and without hesitation. And what is wrong will be declared right, what is against the divine commandments will be permitted, and every person will be able to do whatever he wants if only it serves his own advantage, and unkindness will take on ever greater proportions and thus also people's actions in which the influence of evil is visibly expressed. And thus the good spiritual, the forces which are subject to God's will, will have to take up an intensified battle in the spiritual kingdom against the forces of the underworld. And on earth likewise the people chosen by God.... the people who strive to fulfil His commandments because they recognize and love Him.... will have to go into battle against the representatives of evil power, against those who deny God and live their lives contrary to divine will. And this battle will be a fierce one, it will be carried out by the latter with all ruthlessness, because it is the endeavour of the evil one to destroy everything that affirms God, to completely eradicate faith in God and to introduce a different teaching on earth which better corresponds to the thinking of humanity which has become unloving. And the battle will be difficult for the believers, but God Himself will stand by their side, for this battle has been planned since eternity.... God fills those who want to belong to Him with His spirit, He gives them extraordinary strength, for He Himself works through people who willingly offer themselves to Him as an instrument. And therefore believing people are able to do far more than their opponents, even if they are supported by earthly power. For fighting with God must irrevocably (inevitably) lead to defeat. This battle has to take place because a separation is to take place amongst humanity; everyone has to realize that he has to make up his own mind. And that is why the human being will experience things which will cause him to reflect and urge him to make a decision. And blessed is he who takes the right path, blessed is he who recognizes God's power in the extraordinary events and stands by those who have faith.... Although he gives up the world and its goods because he is now without rights, he exchanges far more in return, the goods that will last for all eternity....

Amen
