4299 Counteraction on the part of the world....

May 14, 1948: Book 51

You will have a hard time with those who do not want to acknowledge your spiritual work and therefore try to make you unfit for it. You will not be able to change their attitude towards God and it will therefore be a constant battle which you wage against each other. The work against you will paralyse you at times, yet My strength will be stronger, you will not let go of Me and remain faithful servants to Me. And because of your will I will provide you with relief, I will weaken the opposition, I will send you co-workers who will stimulate you and promote the spiritual work, I will come to you Myself and My words will be believed even if I only speak through your mouth.... no objection will be able to be raised to your words anymore, and My working will be obvious. The forces of darkness constantly endeavour to obscure the light which shines in you, and the people of your surroundings fall prey to them, they don't defend themselves and don't turn to Me for enlightenment, they reject Me if I approach them and therefore also take no part in what I offer them from above. I Myself took the earthly path, and this path was difficult, for I constantly had to fight people's unkindness, their unbelief and their love for the material world. And I tried to educate them to love and faith through My word, but only with little success. Once again the love of earthly things prevails, once again people live without love and without faith, and once again I want to help them onto the right path through My word.... And they do not recognize it.... and reject Me. I don't retaliate because they are weak in spirit, yet I don't tolerate that they harass you either, that they prevent you from doing your work, that they oppose you if you work for Me and My kingdom. And thus I want to visibly support you, I want to give you a field of work where you can work, even though the world will always oppose you, even though you will find little encouragement. Yet I know My own and I also know the people who can still be won over for Me, and you shall help them. And if you work together success will not fail to materialize, yet you must be active and never put the world with its demands before spiritual work. Believe in My help and don't be afraid.... I direct all events as they are good for spiritual development, and I will watch over those who serve Me and, as My servants, always have to expect the protection of their lord. I will constantly provide you with helpers who will assist you in earthly and spiritual adversity. Therefore believe firmly and unshakably and expect My help.... and your faith shall not be put to shame....

Amen
