2505 "I stand at the door and knock...."

October 11, 1942: Book 33

Even if a person were to speak with the tongues of angels in order to spread the word of God, he will encounter resistance and find no faith. But therefore do not grieve yourselves, you who devote yourselves to this task. Consider that you fight for Me and therefore also receive wounds for Me.... furthermore, consider that I, too, found little favour on earth, that My word could not convince humanity either, and thus My word will always and constantly be an apple of contention, and people will be at enmity for the sake of My word. I want to bring peace to humanity but it does not accept peace.... I want to offer them comprehensible knowledge but they do not listen to Me, instead they are hostile to My representatives. And therefore they cannot partake in the gift I offer them from above, even though they desperately need it. I am the word and I descend to earth.... I want to offer Myself to people, but they do not accept Me.... I stand at the door and knock, but they do not open to Me.... And in their hearts is night, they do not see the light that wants to shine for them, they close themselves off to the ray of light that wants to penetrate, and so they remain in darkness. And there are very many of them who no longer recognize My love and also turn My servants away from the door who want to bring them the gift of their lord.... What unspeakable misery there is among mankind who, in their spiritual blindness, still shy away from the light; and what effort and patience is needed to open the eyes of these blind people. And where My love fails to achieve this, My power must intervene. People do not hear the words of love, but they must hear the voice of My power, for they cannot escape this voice. I am the word and I want people to listen to My word; I want to reveal Myself to them and thus, if they pay no attention to the revelations I send to them through the mouth of a human being, they shall hear Me Myself and My voice will resound mightily.... I will speak through the forces of nature and I will force them to pay attention to Me because no-one will be able to close their ears to this word. You humans do not believe that I reveal Myself, you do not believe that I am lord over all powers in heaven and on earth.... you only believe what can be proven to you earthly and what you want to believe of it. And because you yourselves are distant from God you deny that God can be closer to one of you and reveal Himself to him.... Yet you forget that I can provide you with the evidence at any time that it is I Who determines every law of nature and Whose strength is truly so great that everything is possible for Him.... And thus I have to reveal Myself to you in this work of destruction, for nothing is by chance and what happens, happens through Me.... No human being is able to hinder this will of Mine, and no human being is able to stop an event which has been determined since eternity because I have known from eternity about people's wrong will, about their distorted thinking and their blatant rejection of My word. I have known about people's spiritual low since eternity and have used all means to remedy it beforehand, yet when all means fail I Myself come in the raging of the elements and speak to people, and anyone who does not yet heed this voice is lost for eternity....

Amen
