5841 Sylvester message.... final notice....

December 31, 1953: Book 63

You are approaching a difficult but also a blissful time, for the difficult time will not last long in order to then give way to the time in paradise on the new earth which will compensate you for all suffering on this earth. But even for the difficult time before the end the strength will come to you from above, and therefore you need not fear it, you should just prepare yourselves for it so that it does not find you weakened through your own fault. Do not seek the pleasures of the world in the time to come, for this means a weakening of your spiritual strength, and only this will help you against all kinds of resistance. What this world offers will not last, but what awaits you in the other world, in paradise on the new earth, cannot be compared to the stale worldly goods, for you will be immeasurably happy and have no offence to fear, for they are.... although earthly material again.... yet heavenly goods which can only be given to you in a certain degree of maturity.... And therefore see to it that you attain this degree of maturity, humbly take upon yourselves all heaviness and overcome it and remain faithful to Me.... call out to the father like children when you are in distress and don't let anything shake your faith. Only ever seek Me.... and you will recognize My presence by unusual strength, you will master all difficulties of earthly life, and your inner life will also be full of light, and the earth with its people hostile towards Me cannot harm you, for then you will already be in My kingdom.... you carry My kingdom within you as soon as you allow Me Myself to dwell in your heart. You are facing a difficult time.... yet it need not be difficult for the individual if only he attunes himself correctly to Me.... You are all addressed by Me, yet only those who listen to Me are blessed by My address.... But he who listens to the world, who turns his eyes towards it, does not listen to Me.... He will seemingly have an easier life but it will be empty and worthless in the end, for the earthly world will pass away and the paradise on the new earth will remain closed to him.... he himself will become matter, which alone he desired. For I can only consider you according to your own will.... You cannot possess what you never strive for, you must bear the consequence of your wrong will and thinking yourselves, and if you let yourselves be captured by the world you must remain in its bonds.... Yet to My own I call again and again: endure this short time, for for your sake I will shorten the days, only remain faithful to Me, don't let yourselves be blinded by the deceptive light of the world.... renounce so that one day, when the time of suffering is over, you will be able to draw with full hands.... Believe My words that I Myself will lead you out, that I Myself will fetch you and rescue you from greatest adversity, but prepare yourselves for this difficult time, then you will not find it so difficult and await My coming in hope and confidence, you will remember My promise and patiently wait for its fulfilment.... and you will receive your reward in paradise on the new earth....

Amen
