3313 Supplication to the beings of light in spiritual need....

October 31, 1944: Book 43

Souls in spiritual distress are surrounded by good and bad forces and therefore need not despair in their soul's distress, but neither should they be indifferent lest the bad forces gain control over them. The struggle of the spiritual forces for the soul does not diminish, and as soon as the human being himself favours the bad forces due to weakness of will, but the soul strives towards the light according to its nature, it now gets into hardship which, however, is a warning and admonition of the good forces at the same time. For this adversity should cause it to turn to the good forces for help, which it would never do if the soul were spared the adversity. For the beings of light can only assist the soul when they are called upon.... This divine law cannot be overturned. The light beings' love is so great that they are always willing to help and would help any soul in need. But the strength of the beings of light is also so strong that it can overpower every dark power, thus render it harmless, thus there could never be a distressed earthly child if God had not given this law that the help of the beings of light depends on the human being's appeal. But the human being only sends such a plea upwards if he feels the soul's distress perceptibly. And since the transmission of strength from the spiritual kingdom to the human being is necessary for his soul to mature, the soul has to get into this distress as soon as it is in danger of falling prey to evil forces due to its weakness of will. Hence the battle between light and darkness, which is waged for his soul, must also have a noticeable effect on the human being in order to make him take action, i.e. to stimulate him to appeal for strength, otherwise the soul would never be able to progress in its development. Distress of the soul is therefore inevitable as long as the human being does not receive God's strength through extraordinary loving activity. A person who is constantly active in love will only rarely experience spiritual hardship because the beings of light can constantly influence him and are no longer bound by divine law, for the loving person has broken down every barrier so that the strength from God can constantly be conveyed to him. And that is why a person in spiritual adversity should make an effort to give love, thereby he nullifies the influence of the evil beings, and in combination with prayer for strength and help he will very soon resolve the soul's adversity, for the forces of light have now become victors again and can now give abundantly to the soul. Loving activity and prayer remedy every weakness.... the human being becomes the conqueror of the forces which want to harm him, he strives of his own free will towards the light and flees from darkness.... his will has been strengthened by temptation as soon as he has resisted it. And every victory is a step upwards; the sincerely striving human being will emerge victorious from every temptation, yet he, too, will be harassed by dark forces as soon as he allows moments of weakness of will to arise in him. Yet he can always be certain of the support of the beings of light who hear his plea for strength and are always ready to help him....

Amen
