6857 Admission of the spiritual work....

June 25, 1957: Book 73

I do not resist the spirit in the human being, nor should you resist it if it wants to express itself, otherwise you run the risk of another speaking in and through you which can then take possession of you and completely confuse your thinking. The spirit within you is My part which only influences you in such a way that your return to Me is guaranteed if you listen to it. For the spirit from within Me continuously points you towards Me and shows you the path which leads to Me. But the opposing spirit also tries to gain influence over you but will never penetrate as long as My part of the spirit is active in you, because it cannot exist next to Me. But if you resist the spirit within you then you voluntarily open the door to the other, because you push Me away, as it were, which means the other's taking possession of you. My spirit is always ready to give, you can constantly request clarification through My spirit.... quite simply said: You can always pray to Me for enlightenment, for My guidance, for My protection.... And you will always receive enlightenment from within, you will receive instructions, for I Myself influence you humans through My spirit.... If you unite with Me through heartfelt prayer, then you will also allow My spirit to work in you, you will hand yourselves over to Me in prayer and I will reward you for your trust.... you will think and act logically in My will, which you also feel as an expression of My spirit. And it is understandable that My adversary also makes use of all these possibilities when he gains power over you.... But you grant him this power yourselves if you live your earthly life alone, if you exclude Me, if you have no connection with Me whatsoever.... You don't need to consciously unite with him but you are already enslaved by him because you belong to him as long as you don't consciously want to separate from him, which requires the very bond with Me. You make an expression of the spirit impossible because the spiritual spark in you is inseparably united with Me.... thus it does nothing without Me, without My will, but which you first have to incline through conscious recognition and devotion to Me. Then a light can shine in you which is so bright that it permeates everything, that wrong thinking or wrong speaking and acting is simply no longer possible. Then My spirit's working will be obvious, then I will have completely won you over for Me, and then My adversary will also no longer be able to intervene because he shuns the light and can only work where there is still darkness, which is why he always tries to spread and intensify the darkness. I can only ever call out to you: Do not resist the spirit in you through ungodly attitudes and sinful actions, for then you will render it ineffective yourselves and open yourselves to all evil influence. And you walk in complete blindness, in ignorance over this earth and cannot reach the light. But a spark of light slumbers in you which can become a bright fire, a light which illuminates everything and makes you unspeakably happy. Ignite it and chase the prince of darkness out of you, so that then the Eternal Light Itself can take abode in you and you will no longer need to fear darkness forever.... so that My Spirit may now work in you and fill you with light and strength and bliss....

Amen
