4344 Temptations of satan.... God's protection....
June 21, 1948: Book 51
You must not allow yourselves to be drawn into satan’s nets, who seeks to plunge you from the heights into the deepest abyss. He gains power over you if you do not resist him with a stronger will or, if you are weak, with heartfelt prayer to Me. He has no power over you if you do not admit it. For I have withdrawn this power from him. Therefore strive to become and remain strong-willed through the call of Jesus Christ, Who will always increase your will if only you strive for it. My adversary's aim is apostasy from Me and a way of life without love. He will achieve both if you lack My strength, My support and My grace. Everything is yours, but not against your will. If you now want Me to help you and pour My strength and grace upon you, then you must request in prayer what you lack, and again and again I must tell you how you should pray.... full of humility and devotion to Me you should ask the father like children and faithfully trust that He will grant your request. Then satan will completely leave your sight, i.e. he will no longer harass you because you are surrounded by guardian spirits whose brightness is unbearable to him and he will cease his temptations. Nevertheless, you must be on your guard, for he will come again and try to bring you down. Therefore don't give him a point of attack, escape from him and take refuge with Me.... and I will protect you,
(21.6.1948) for his power is small if I appear as his adversary, and you should secure My protection. The time of the end brings increased danger because he will once again use all his power and strength to increase his kingdom; temptations of all kinds will approach you, the world will present all its charms to you, the body will press you and harbour desires whose fulfilment is a danger for you, yet you will be able to resist everything if you stay with Me, if your heart's desire is for Me and you seriously strive for maturity of soul. Then you will make contact with Me again and again, you will listen to Me when I speak to you, and satan will truly not withstand My words, he will flee if you oppose him with My word, if you immerse yourselves in My word in hours of distress and temptation and work for Me. For My word is strength from Me, which he rejects, and that is your strength. With Me you will always defeat satan, with Me you will resist every temptation and with Me you will safely reach your aim. Time is hurrying and every day is precious, therefore use it and work for Me and My kingdom, and disregard all earthly wishes, be content with what I want to give you and I will truly not think badly of you. But don't let My adversary gain power over you, resist him and come to Me, and I will reward you for your faithfulness and give you what is beneficial for body and soul....
Amen
