5514 God's call for power.... power from below....

October 23, 1952: Book 61

And again and again you will experience that you are unable to do anything without Me unless you call upon the one who is My adversary and your enemy but who gives you strength in order to destroy you. You will be able to overcome everything with My help, yet you must not rely on your own strength, for then you will already be caught in satan’s nets, who lets the feeling of your own strength arise in you in order to push you away from Me. Often you have to rely on yourselves alone in earthly adversity, no help comes to you from your fellow human beings and you yourselves feel too weak.... Then you should call upon Me and you can firmly rely on the fact that you will be led out of the adversity again if you believe in My love and My might. But it is fundamentally wrong to exert your strength to the utmost instead of calling upon Me in the belief that you will then be able to overcome the earthly adversity. You also receive your own strength from Me, and this can certainly achieve much after a heartfelt appeal for help. For I usually help in a natural way so that it does not work like a miracle, and yet it is My help which reaches you. But if the call to Me has preceded, then everything you undertake yourselves will certainly be good, for I will guide your thoughts as it is beneficial for you. Many people certainly achieve extraordinary things without having approached Me for blessing and help.... Their attitude can nevertheless be good, and My strength is active or fails according to this attitude. But the human being can have unconsciously entered into a bond with Me through his will to love.... in which case I will also support him in earthly adversity, yet only ever in such a way that he will also learn to recognize Me if he thinks about the obvious help. But anyone who is already My adversary due to his attitude, anyone who consciously and unconsciously rejects Me, anyone who believes that he does not need Me if his own strength is insufficient, will receive strength from below. And he will be recognized in the utilisation of what he has earthly acquired.... No serving neighbourly love will speak from his thoughts and actions, from all his works. His earthly successes will always become greater and greater, for My adversary will provide him with abundant strength in order to win him over completely for himself by firmly chaining him to matter, by stifling every good impulse in him in his desire for earthly goods, for wealth, honour and fame. Yet no blessing will rest on his activity, nor will he be able to become master over his fate which is imposed on him by Me. For again and again I will try to direct his thoughts towards the one Who alone is powerful in heaven and on earth, again and again I will show him his own weakness so that he will lean on Me and appeal to Me for strength and power, just as My adversary will constantly harass him.... Without Me you can do nothing, but with Me and My strength you can do everything.... But don't let yourselves be deceived by the opposing power which certainly provides you with all earthly things in abundance but wants to take away the life of your soul, who wants to render you completely powerless for eternity. For he does nothing in vain, he harms you wherever he can and you have to pay for every gift of strength from below, for he does not want your bliss but only your ruin....

Amen
