4512 Resistance of the people.... powerlessness....

December 15, 1948: Book 52

My strength is also ineffective if it is resisted, otherwise My strength would mean coercion. You humans must first give up resistance, then you will also noticeably feel My strength and make use of it. Resistance to Me consists of taking a stand against Me and the world.... As long as you put the world before Me your will is still wrongly directed, and this also prevents the effect of strength on you, for My grace and strength is constantly at your disposal but can only be received, i.e. become effective, with heartfelt devotion to Me and turning away from the world. Admittedly, the world still has to be taken into account as far as the circle of duties requires it, into which you have been placed to fulfil the earthly task, but whether you do something dutifully or only direct your thoughts and aspirations towards it is a difference which also determines the measure of My influx of grace. Don't let yourselves be beguiled by the world, for it cannot make you happy forever but it can completely distract you from Me; put Me first and you will realize how easily you will also master earthly life, how My blessing will accompany you and My help will become visible to you. What is more understandable than that you have to become aware of My strength when you unite with Me? But if you turn your heart away from Me and towards the world, you also close your heart to the strength from Me, and you look for it in the world but cannot find it. Life with Me will never harm you, for even worldly you will be placed in such a way that your needs will be met.... But more is evil unless your heart remains completely untouched by it, and this is what you should strive for. Learn to despise what worldly people desire; share what you possess with your neighbour, and what you lack leave it up to Me whether I want to give it to you.... And always come to Me as trusting children, I will not deny you anything you ask for if you devote yourselves to Me and want to be Mine, if you present Me to the world and thus My strength can take effect in you....

Amen
