4406 "And the gates of hell shall not prevail against them...."

August 16, 1948: Book 51

"And the gates of hell shall not prevail against them...." But all the forces of the underworld will storm against you who want to spread My teaching. But then you will be assured of My protection and My strength will be at your disposal, you will be able to speak and testify of Me, and My working of the spirit will manifestly appear. But the battle of light against darkness increases in the last days before the end, and where a light shines the forces of darkness seek to extinguish it; where truth is the prince of lies comes and seeks to displace the truth. And My messengers on earth must stand firm, they must not allow themselves to be frightened, for I, the light of eternity, stand behind them, and I will not tolerate that the vessels of My spirit are rendered unfit to receive that which is to be conveyed to people in their great spiritual hardship as an emanation of strength from Me. And every path is marked out for you, every step corresponds to My will, because you have placed yourselves at My service of your own free will and thus I can now transfer My will to you, so that you will only carry out what I tell you to do and what you inwardly feel urged to do. Therefore, if you are to speak for Me, if you are to convey My word to people, you will only ever act as I instruct you, and therefore you can be unconcerned even if the world, i.e. the representatives of error, want to take action against you or strongly harass you with counter-speeches. You speak for Me and in My name, and thus what you say will also have strength and a convincing effect where the will for truth is still present. But the others are representatives of the prince of lies and they will not succeed in silencing you as long as I speak through you. For you are the representatives of My church which I founded Myself and which is only built on profound faith and a life of love.... But this will not be able to be overpowered by the gates of hell, even though it seems as if they have the upper hand.... Numerically indeed, for humanity is under their spell, people no longer stand in truth because they no longer stand in love. And thus they follow those who serve the prince of the underworld, and they close their eyes and ears to the light which is offered to them through My representatives on earth. But I will win the final victory and those who shunned the light because the darkness was more appealing to them will sink into darkness. But you should always be mindful of the fact that I protect those whom I have chosen as My representatives and that you should therefore speak freely and openly as required by the truth conveyed to you by Me.

Amen
