2887 Blessing of divine revelations....
September 19, 1943: Book 37
The blessing of the divine revelations will only then be recognizable when everything has been taken from people which was their signpost to God. People can still draw the drink everywhere which they need to strengthen themselves on their path of earthly life, they can still receive the divine word everywhere, yet human will will let the source dry up for them, people will want to determine which spiritual nourishment their fellow human being should consume, and human will will be destructive but not constructive, for that which will be built up does not correspond to God's will and is therefore to be assessed as a work of destruction which only accelerates the spiritual decline and thus fosters chaos. And this process of destruction is already beginning, it is the actual cause of the emergence of this work, it is the reason for the divine revelations which therefore signify God's counteracting action. The individual human being cannot fathom the unspeakable hardship the whole of humanity is in and how this hardship will increase if the human being's free will is gagged by people who are in the service of the one who fights against God, who tries to displace Him in order to increase his power and strength. It is an unequal battle, for the number of his followers exceeds the number of God's fighters many times over, and therefore God comes to the aid of His followers in an extraordinary way by obviously getting in touch with them, by sending them extraordinary strength through His word, which is the emanation of His love and thus has to have such an effect that the human being can muster the strength to resist, no matter how hard he is pressed. And this divine word, which God Himself conveys to earth, clearly and vividly expresses God's will, it further imparts knowledge to people which helps them to attain maturity of soul and which comprehensively and clearly reveals to them the meaning and purpose of earthly life, its destiny and God's reign and activity. And this knowledge should enable him to endure the severity of the battle because, on the other hand, a feeling of the futility of perseverance would cause his resistance to flag. God truly knows what the human being needs in this spiritual adversity and He therefore prepares everything in order to provide people with relief and to give them the means to free themselves from God's adversary's power. The will turned towards God also makes them receptive to the strength from God, and therefore God tries to stimulate the will in the human being through His word to submit to Him.... He seeks to win the love of man through His word in order to be able to let His love radiate upon him, which is again perceptible to man as strength.... He seeks to strengthen his trust and faith in His wisdom and omnipotence so that he will stand firm against all hostilities from the world. And this is why the transmission of the divine word to earth is so extraordinarily significant, and only the forthcoming time will make people who strive towards God realize with what love God cares for His own and what means of grace He bestows upon them in order to let them find the path to Himself....
