6164 Only connection to God gives strength in the coming time....

January 14, 1955: Book 66

Ever more closely you will have to cleave to Me, for ever more mightily My might and My will will express itself the closer it is to the end.... The whole world will be thrown into turmoil, albeit everywhere by other events.... and it could be that everything that happens makes people take refuge with Me, they could seek comfort and help from Me and through the bond with Me bear everything more easily or reduce all effects.... Yet not everyone seeks the bond with Me, for there is a lack of faith in the power which alone can help and in the love which wants to help.... But I am the protection and shield in all adversity for anyone who intimately joins Me.... and his fate is in My hand.... Whoever closes himself to Me no longer needs to worry from that moment on, for I will take over all his worries.... And many will be pushed towards Me because they get into severe distress, partly due to human-satanic influence, but partly also due to accidents, due to disasters of all kinds, due to fate-related experiences which cause people to become anxious and find their way to Me.... Yet far more people remain unimpressed by all happenings and hardship which I only allow to come upon them in order to change people's attitude. They are only eager to make up for the damage caused as quickly as possible without observing My commandment of love.... At their fellow human beings' expense they rebuild everything My will took from them, for they don't believe in Me and My might and self-love fills their whole being. They will never want to recognize the hand of a God in every experience, rather, they will deny Me, they will not acknowledge a creative God because the all too visible destruction of creations seems to be proof of this to them. They erect a great gulf.... The distance from them to Me is infinitely far, they are still in My adversary's realm who confuses all their senses and thoughts and does not let them come to recognize the truth. Only those who unite with Me in their heart also recognize My eternal plan of salvation, and everything that comes over people in the last days is understandable to them. They stick to Me and will truly not be abandoned by Me, I will hear every call that comes from an anxious heart and I will distribute strength so that My own will not feel too heavy what has to come upon earth for the sake of their fellow human beings.... And it will become evident in them what a deep faith is capable of and what it achieves.... Again and again they will find a way out, again and again they will have the strength to master everything.... For I will not leave them as soon as they intimately unite with Me.... And they will feel My presence and confess Me before their fellow human beings when this confession is demanded of them....

Amen
