6643 Request for strength secures God's help upwards....

September 12, 1956: Book 71

Only with divine support will you be able to assert yourselves in earthly life against the temptations or oppressions of God's adversary, for you cannot resist alone because you lack the strength to do so. No matter how bad his temptations are, no matter how cunningly and treacherously he acts against you, God's grace is equally at your disposal, and you can always expect help from God if only you request it. It is solely a matter of your decision which lord you profess, which lord you want to belong to, and thus, if your will is turned towards God, you will also appeal to Him for help, which will always be given to you. But you will never be able to free yourselves from God's adversary with your own strength, because you do not possess this strength when you enter earth as a human being. You once forfeited it yourselves, i.e. you rejected the strength which God gave you in excess.... And as weak, powerless beings you are now embodied on earth.... And now you have to ask for the strength again which you once rejected.... And it will flow to you without restriction, for God will certainly grant you this request, because you will only find your way back to Him with His strength and yet He longs for your return, thus He will also do everything to regain you who were lost to Him for an infinitely long time.... Thus your earthly life is an idle one if you live it apart from God, even if you are not His adversary's outspoken instruments, because without God you will remain on the same level if you don't sink back into the abyss again. But your path shall go upwards and for this you need strength. God constantly offers you this strength through His word which is intended to lead you to Him, which reminds you of a lord above you and which you want to accept in your heart and live out, because then strength will already flow over to you and your heart's desire will now be for God, Who will imperceptibly pull you upwards. But without God you will not reach the height.... Ask Him for the supply of strength, turn to Him Whom you recognize as being above you, and through this request oppose the adversary and he will have to let go of you, as soon as you call upon God for protection against him, for strength to be able to withstand his temptations. For God does not leave you without help, He gives gladly and abundantly, and His flow of grace constantly flows to you.... Open yourselves and also constantly draw strength from God, and your earthly life will be a blessed one and lead you to your aim.... For even if the temptations are great, even if the decision in earthly life requires your entire will.... nevertheless God's love is so great that He will grant you humans strength and grace to a far greater extent and you can well survive the battle against His adversary if only you make use of His love and grace....

Amen
