4730 "He who is not for Me is against Me...."

August 31, 1949: Book 54

This is what you should learn to recognize: who is for Me and who is against Me.... You will not always be able to rely on words, for people are often not even aware of whom they serve, Me or the world.... They confess Me with their mouth and yet are connected to the heart of the world. Consequently, they serve two masters and one will always have the upper hand, and you should judge this and take appropriate action against it. For then it is the human being's will which is decisive as to how he decides when he is seriously reminded that he can certainly deceive himself but never Me. To be for Me means to stand up for Me completely, to confess Me in life without shyness and without reserve. But anyone who cannot do this is not for Me but against Me, for he is prevented and allows himself to be prevented from freely confessing by My adversary, and he offers him no resistance. Thus he does not believe in Me, he is, as it were, wearing two armpits, he stands in the traditional faith which cannot stand any test and does not withstand a serious examination. But it is a serious test when he is called upon to confess before the world, before his fellow human beings.... Then he fails, then My presence is improbable to him, the spiritual kingdom is unreal to him, he believes what he sees and also stands up for it. Hence he belongs to the world; but the world is not My kingdom, consequently he cannot be My representative on earth either, because My word does not mean to him what it is.... the emanation of Myself. And thus, if he is not entirely for Me, he either acts against My will or he is guilty of an omission, and in both cases he is against Me.... He does what the world demands, he denies Me, if not with his mouth, then nevertheless in his heart and distances himself from Me instead of approaching Me. And that is why it is said: He who is not for Me is against Me.... For I am not content with a person not only not rejecting Me but I demand that he confesses Me openly and unashamedly, otherwise I will regard him as My adversary, which he also is in his heart, even if he speaks My name....

Amen
