7014 God as an 'elemental force'.... how does the 'opposing force' relate to God....
January 10, 1958: Book 75
From My will and My power came forth all creations which are visible to you, as well as countless creations which you cannot behold.... Spiritual and earthly creations emerged from My might and will still emerge throughout eternal times. And My will and My might also govern all these creations and ensure their existence. There is no power like Mine, for I withdrew the latter from the one who was supposed to create and work next to Me with the same will and the same power when he misused it to work against Me. But My strength constantly flows to all beings created by Me, which are of the same will as Me, which they then also use again for creations of all kinds, because they are only ever active with Me and in My will. But it is not possible to speak of a power beside or apart from Me, for these beings are always merged with Me, they are 'part of Myself'.... whereas the first-created spirit placed itself apart from Me through its wrong will.... and therefore one can certainly speak of a 'counterforce' which, however, can never overrule Me Myself because it was broken by his apostasy from Me.... And his powerlessness would become even more apparent if I had not also endowed him with free will.... so that My might and strength very often steps back and leaves My adversary free in his activity, which, however, does not mean that I cannot prevent it. But his strength is never sufficient to let new creations arise. And thus he himself would have to recognize his lack of power and strength in view of the infinitely many creations which came forth and continue to come forth again through My will and My strength.... For he is not without knowledge of My constant will of creation, and he also knows what these creations basically aim at.... He knows that they only signify a counteraction which is based on his former apostasy from Me. Yet despite this realization of My infinite might he does not bow down to it because he is blinded in his thinking and this blindness was brought about by hatred against Me. He still believes that he possesses the former abundance of strength which enabled him to create, and because the creations harbour what has fallen he also believes himself to be the master of all those creations, and he boasts that these creations could not have come into being without him.... And thus My adversary's power and strength is certainly already broken but he himself does not recognize this, and eternities will still pass before he comes to this realization. But the world of light.... the spiritual being which works with Me and in My will.... takes possession of all worlds and equips them, and every work of creation arises through radiated strength of love which captures hardened spiritual substance, envelops it and seeks to soften it with its warmth of love.... And this strength of love, which constantly overflows from Me as the original source of strength onto the beings of light, cannot be repelled by My adversary.... it is what isolates the once fallen spiritual from My adversary, which also takes away his power over it.... The strength of love stands between Me and My adversary and thus continuously lets new creations arise, and it is not possible for any other strength to hinder My working because there is no strength apart from Mine.... And the first-created being did not want to acknowledge this 'original source' of strength, it wanted to detach itself from Him and from that moment on was no longer the 'recipient' of My strength of love because it rejected it itself. And until he comes to realize what he did when he turned away from Me he will not start on the path back either, but one day this hour will come, and even if eternities pass, that he will return to his father's house....
Amen
