5418 Resistance against the truth....

June 22, 1952: Book 60

You do not know the resistance offered to Me by people; you do not know how they resist accepting the truth; and therefore you also do not know how difficult it is to snatch people from their delusion without coercion, to make them soft and compliant and to break their rigid mind so that they are initially willing to listen to what My love presents to them. But one day the hour will come when everyone will reflect and also remember the spiritual benefits he has experienced in life.... Once, the hour shall come for everyone, that it may approach them while still on earth, everyone should pray from the bottom of their heart, everyone should implore Me for truth, for enlightenment of spirit while still on this earth. Then they shall also recognise My merciful love which prompted Me to repeatedly offer them the truth, and they will regretfully mourn every hour which they did not use because they rejected what I offered them.... But My plan is firmly.... to sound a wake-up call of such volume that it will make those who walk in darkness sit up and take notice.... I can only ever influence people such that I cause them to reflect; but anyone who goes along indifferently and thoughtlessly and unthinkingly accepts and advocates error will have to be placed in a position where his thoughts are stimulated by unusual events which he cannot dismiss but which he has to take a stand on. Every thinking person will be touched by My influence, and especially those people who feel affected themselves, who are indirectly touched by an unusual intervention. I only want people to awaken from their sleep and I shall also achieve this. However, what they do after their awakening they now do consciously.... and this is decisive for eternity.... I take pity on anyone walking in a state of sleep and I will help him to open his eyes so that he can feel and behold the morning light, for it will beneficially touch him and give him strength to unfold. But lack of light causes all life to wither.... But I want you humans to live.... in realisation, in light, so that your soul unfolds and becomes blissfully active in all directions.... But any resistance against the truth is resistance against Me.... How can I give you life if you yourselves refuse to accept the life-giving gifts from Me? I cannot force you, yet I will not refrain from doing anything which could still persuade you to wake up and think.... And if I succeed in making you think I will also have won you over for Myself, that is, your resistance will have been broken, you will then desire the truth yourselves which I will always offer to you if you seriously desire it....

Amen
