2570 Power supply and willpower....

December 2, 1942: Book 33

The path through earthly life requires much willpower but people will never lack it as long as they make contact with God, that is, as long as they appeal to Him for grace and strength. Every person receives vitality, which at the same time means that he can now carry out whatever his will impels him to do. The power of life is not withdrawn from any human being as long as he still dwells on earth. It is able to accomplish much of what the human being wants and this often makes him inclined to believe that he can master everything, that he must succeed in everything he sets out to do. Yet he has to ask God for this increased willpower and he will never make a wrong request, for God sets no limits to a person's abilities as soon as he unites himself with God and thus utilizes God's strength. Without God's support the strength is limited and it will only suffice for a life on earth without special requirements. An earthly life with God corresponds to divine will, for now God's strength can be revealed in a person who requests this strength and therefore allows God Himself to work through him. This man can let his will become active and nothing will be impossible for him. However, as soon as the human being is not yet united with God, his earthly life is far more difficult, for then he can only accomplish those things which God in His wisdom allows him to accomplish, i.e., the life force flowing to the human being is wisely allocated by God according to his degree of maturity and his earthly task.... He can increase it himself through heartfelt prayer, but he must make do with it if he does not take recourse to prayer, for through lack of strength he should be able to establish a connection with God and ask for strength. Again, people who are distant from God can also have extraordinary strength at their disposal. This is also based on God's wisdom, as He determines each person's destiny and how it can best lead to the maturity of the soul. Exceptional vitality gives the human being ample opportunity to be lovingly active, whereby the strength is still increased; but as soon as the human being stands outside of love and nevertheless has great strength at his disposal, this is given to him by God-opposing power, for he is supported by evil forces which try to win him over for themselves as a result. And since the will of these people themselves decides in favour of evil, God does not prevent the supply of strength from below. It is always the will of the person himself that determines how he is provided with strength, for he can increase it at any time through his prayer. God constantly sends His flow of strength to earth, which can now be received by anyone who opens himself, i.e. enters into contact with the giver of strength.... This supply of strength available to every human being only needs to be utilized in order to be able to cover earthly life easily and effortlessly, for he will now be able to carry out whatever his will decides to do because the strength from God accomplishes everything....

Amen
