3470 Surrender to God's will....

April 20, 1945: Book 45

You must endure everything in submission to God's will which He sends upon you. For it is a time of testing which shall steel you for the battle which will erupt for the sake of the spirit. As soon as you emerge from this test unharmed in your soul you will also survive the coming time of battle where it is extremely necessary that people stand firm in their faith and also represent it before the world. All adversity only has the purpose of making you strong against the challenges of the world.... You should lose all fear, always in faith in God Who stands by your side to help you, Who gives you strength when you are in danger of becoming weak. This faith should become firm and unshakeable, you should firmly believe that the world is powerless if God takes you into His care, and you should feel it in your heart that He provides for you with His loving care as soon as you only want to belong to Him, as soon as you want to serve Him and be active for Him in the last time before the end. You must confess Him before the world, you must speak in His name without fear and proclaim His teaching of love, you must not allow yourselves to be frightened by the threats of the world, you must not fear bodily death either, but you must fearlessly carry God's voice to all who want to hear it..... For God Himself wants to speak through you, and you should work as His instruments in order to help your fellow human beings and to snatch them away from the abyss in which they would be hopelessly lost. And in order to be able to fulfil this task your faith has to be so strong that all doubts disappear and you are only God's servants who no longer have any part in the earthly world. And therefore God lets you go through a hard school first, for He truly knows best how and when spiritual progress is assured for you. Yet He will never leave you alone, He will accompany you on all paths and His protective hand will rest upon you and guide you correctly. Your contact with the spiritual world will never be interrupted, for the beings of light guide your thinking and do not allow the forces of darkness to take possession of you, even though you are severely harassed by them. But standing under God's protection you will be able to banish them and no harm will come to your soul. And therefore don't be afraid and recognize God's love even in the suffering and adversity of the time.... He guides and directs you, and you can confidently entrust yourselves to His guidance, for He is your father from eternity Who dearly loves His children....

Amen
