5458 Power of light from above.... Deceptive light of Satan....

August 10, 1952: Book 60

An exceedingly bright light shines where divine truth is conveyed to earth. And where there is light, the path can also be clearly recognised and man cannot go astray. Thus truth is the signpost to Me.... But truth is not readily accepted and therefore people often go astray where they could easily find the right path.... But this is a sign that the end is near, for in the end the darkness will be so great that no-one will find the path to Me anymore, for Satan rages as he has never raged before. He knows that his time is up and therefore does everything to extinguish the light, to darken the path, because in the darkness he still has the power, whereas the light lets Me be clearly recognised and people longingly stretch out their hands towards Me, who walk the illuminated path.... My adversary therefore loses them for good.... And thus you humans also know that and why the pure truth, which originated from Me Myself, is being opposed everywhere.... You will now understand that the acceptance of truth is a rarity, whereas the majority of people reject what alone could lead to their salvation.... A bearer of light cannot indeed be attacked because I Myself protect him, yet he will be pressurised from all sides to let the light fall, people will want to make the gentle glow of the heavenly light fade through dazzling and deceptive lights, they will often want to veil it because they fear the glow if it illuminates the night in which people feel comfortable because they shy away from the light in their sinfulness.... Satan will send companions to the light bearers who will seemingly place themselves in the light, but who will try to block it out so that it loses its effect. Yet the light from above has great power.... It will always illuminate the path that leads upwards. It will chase away the many shadows and dark figures so that they cannot oppress those who walk on this path with their eyes turned towards Me. For even if Satan has great power in the end, he will succumb to My light of love from above, and that is why all those who are in his service flee from it, they seek out deceptive lights which only blind their eyes and thus make them feel the darkness even more strongly than before. My Word is truth, My Word is the light which shines so brightly that all untruth is uncovered; and therefore no-one need fear the darkness who receives My pure Word from above into his heart.... Satan has lost his power over him, for I have already taken possession of him and will never again abandon him or let him fall into his hands....

Amen
