5839 Withdraw of strength from the word of God....

December 29, 1953: Book 63

Always draw strength from My word and know that you need it, for whatever you start will only result in your salvation if you make use of My strength. Let Me speak to you first, or you can speak to Me yourselves so that I can answer you, so that I can give you My strength.... And thus I only say again and again, don't exclude Me from your thoughts, don't believe that you are able to use your strength alone, for you can also use your life energy, which is at your disposal, in the wrong way and then it will have been worthless for your soul. But I constantly provide you with strength by sending you My word, from which you can withdraw the strength if you need it.... You all value My word far too little, you all possess something precious and use it too little, and therefore your soul suffers hardship.... Don't sever your connection with Me but make it ever stronger so that you can feel secure, so that you will never be without strength; for you are surrounded by enemies whom you must oppose with My strength if you want to be victorious over them. You are surrounded by dark forces which try to push you away from Me. How do you want to resist them if you are powerless yourselves? Always request My strength and receive it by letting Me Myself speak to you. And no power of darkness will ever gain control over you. Only he is victorious who makes use of My strength, and only he makes use of My strength who constantly turns his thoughts towards Me and who therefore starts everything with Me and never walks without My blessing.... I speak to him at all times and his heart will not need to tremble, for it receives unmeasured strength and grace from Me....

Amen
