5342 Redemption from darkness.... loving will to help....

March 22, 1952: Book 59

All beings shall enter the kingdom of light and be blissfully happy. But I can do nothing else but show them the path, quietly urge them on and send them guides who can directly influence them as long as they still don't want to acknowledge Me Myself. On earth it is possible to take the right path almost effortlessly, which the soul will only recognize when it enters the kingdom of the beyond without strength and lets the many unused opportunities pass its spiritual eye, once it has recognized what it missed in earthly life. On earth, therefore, it is not difficult to reach the aim, the state of maturity, which allows entry into spheres of light. But it is unspeakably difficult for a being which has departed from earth immaturely to ascend in the beyond. It is not impossible but requires a far greater will which only a ray of light can bring about, because the being suffers unspeakably under darkness. The light attracts every being if it is not completely opposed to Me and then shuns the light. But if there is still the slightest possibility of a change of being, a ray of light beneficially touches the soul, and what the soul once desires it will also achieve. The soul which seeks the light is not irredeemably lost and help can be brought to this soul. But without help it is unable to take a step upwards because it lacks all strength. Whether it can be touched by a ray of light at all always depends on its resistance against Me or on the abandonment of this resistance.... But I know the hardship of every soul as well as the degree of its obduracy and resistance.... My love is also with these beings in the abyss and constantly affects them, yet only a few let up in their resistance and surrender to the effect of love by no longer rebelling and demanding a change of their present situation. Then the path to ascent is already disputed, then the soul is hit by rays of light which give it a renewed will to live, and if knowledgeable beings now instruct them in this state they absorb these thoughts and usually process them with the success that they desire increased light and their state noticeably improves and the will to ascend is stimulated in the beings.

You humans on earth can release many souls from the darkness through good thoughts and loving will to help, which these beings feel as a force of attraction and now appeal to you for your help. They will then take every opportunity to escape from the darkness, for the strength of your love erects a partition between the being and its dungeon master, satan.... you yourselves push a wedge between the two through your love, and now the being is able to have a different will than before.... and this will first unconsciously and after realization consciously turns to Me, the lord, Who can release it from its imprisonment and Who is now also welcome to it as lord, to Whom the soul now voluntarily submits itself. To have redeemed a soul from darkness is indescribably blissful once you know about the hardship of such a soul, which has no comparison on earth. And again I tell you that you can contribute an unspeakable amount to redeeming hell, to helping beings out of darkness and bringing them to Me, if only you want to help and turn your love towards these wretched people who can no longer help themselves on their own and, being bound by satan, cannot release themselves from his power.... Your love is strength which breaks their bonds, your love is able to work miracles if it applies to the souls in darkness, and your love enables you to redeem yourselves on earth as well as in the kingdom of the beyond....

Amen
