7008 New Year....

January 1, 1958: Book 75

Anyone who only hands himself over to Me with complete faith in My love, wisdom and might will also be guided by Me on his earthly path of life and need not fear not reaching the goal. But the paths are also sometimes arduous which you humans nevertheless have to take because the goal shall be reached in a short time. Understand that the coming time will still bring you humans great difficulties, for steep heights have to be climbed in order to shorten the path, because you only have a short time left for your pilgrimage upwards. But even these difficulties and obstacles shall not worry you, for as soon as you have Me as your companion you will never lack strength, for I will support and guide you, I will carry you over seemingly insurmountable obstacles as soon as you just trustingly nestle into My strong Fatherly arms and allow yourselves to be lifted up by Me without any resistance.... And thus I will always promise you My strength and grace, no matter what fate may approach you.... You will not be able to meet the challenges of the coming time on your own, for they will be too great and cannot be overcome without My help. But united with Me you will manage everything and need not fear defeat. And therefore you should only ever hold on to Me, you should never let Me go, you should always be mentally united with Me, i.e. 'pray without ceasing', and you should allow My constant presence in you through loving activity.... And everything will be easy for you which your fellow human beings feel to be an almost unbearable burden. With Me you are strong but without Me you are afflicted by the same weakness as your fellow human beings to whom I Am still far away because they don't believe in Me and therefore don't establish a connection with Me either. It is the time of the end which will still bring many things which you should recognise as signs of the end.... And the time will also not pass you by who stand in faith.... But you must also draw the strength from your faith which enables you to understand and endure everything I let come upon humanity as the last means of salvation. The greater the adversity in and around you, the more firmly you must join Me. For you yourselves will also experience hardship for the sake of testing your faith, but you will not need to travel long distances in order to reach Me.... Just a heartfelt thought of Me will bring you relief, and your strength of faith will banish the adversity. And because you are all still weak, ask Me first for strength, for spiritual enlightenment, so that you will think and act correctly in hours of adversity. Every spiritual supplication reaches My ear and I will not let it go unheard. For such a request proves to Me that you want to be Mine and I will gladly comply with it.... Only don't sever your bond with Me, don't become lukewarm or indifferent, for then I would have to use very painful means in order to turn you back to Me, and I want to protect you from this. My love applies to all of you, even to you who are still distant from Me, and whatever happens to you in the forthcoming time.... only My love is the reason for it.... But you need only join Me and you will often be miraculously spared where your fellow human beings are severely affected. But the signs will increase which point to the end, and unusual things will still happen, yet the close bond with Me always assures you humans My protection and My support, and therefore you can face the future without worry, for a loving Father watches over you who see your Father in Me and take refuge in Him in every adversity....

Amen
