7063 Protection in the struggle of faith by beings of light and otherworldly souls....

March 11, 1958: Book 75

My adversary will cause you, who are and want to remain faithful to Me, to engage in an extremely fierce struggle. He will try in every way to make you turn away from faith, from spiritual striving and thus from Me Myself.... And I tell you this in advance so that you will be prepared for it and then not doubt Me and My might. For his time is given to him but it is limited, thus his activity will certainly also be ended by Me. Yet he will still let off steam against you in every way, after all, he knows that you have been able to draw away many of his followers.... But precisely this following.... many souls in the kingdom of the beyond.... will grant you protection and help you in many adversities he will cause you. And One is always ready to help.... And if I promise you My protection and My help you can truly look forward to this coming time without fear, for it will not last long.... But it requires your will and your strength of faith. Again and again you will have to unite with Me in heartfelt prayer, you will have to work ever more diligently on yourselves and also in My vineyard.... You will have to draw strength from My word ever more often and keep an open eye for everything that happens around you. For the hardship around you will also increase and then your love can prove itself.... And your strength will also increase with every work of love you carry out. Even if there is apparent progress on the one hand, even if no earthly decline is apparent for the time being.... but spiritually everything is heading towards decline, and people's activity also visibly shows that people are under My adversary's control. And then you will need extraordinary inner strength which you can only draw from your heartfelt bond with Me. For the more the world comes to the fore the more unreal everything spiritual, every doctrine of faith and also spiritual knowledge.... will appear. For My adversary will ensure that everything will be doubted, and he will even have eager servants who openly take action against My own and want to destroy all their faith.... And if this time were to last very long then My own would also be too weak to resist.... but for the sake of the elect I will shorten the days, and you can believe that you will endure this time, that I will supply you with unusual strength because I know that the struggle will also be unusually difficult for you. But I will not leave My own and enlighten their spirit so that they will not be deceived by My adversary. And I already do everything beforehand to help My own gain strong faith, which then will also be strength with which they can master everything. And one resistance after another will also arise for My bearers of light due to his influence, but anyone who has given himself to Me of his own free will will also have countless beings of light at his side and defend himself against the enemy's power by weakening him with their abundance of light, which he is no match for. And thus you need only continue to seek the bond with Me as well as with all beings of light, so that they may surround you for your protection.... And your devotion to Me will now also secure you the help of those beings which have completely entered into My will. And it is My will to support you until the end.... and this will is also theirs, and thus you are truly not at the adversary's mercy but you will provide the evidence that strength and power flow through you as soon as he approaches you in the form of earthly enemies who want to hinder you and your spiritual activity, who also want to persuade you to apostatize but don't reckon with the strength of spirit you are filled with. Therefore, work as long as you can still work unhindered.... Carry the light into the darkness and join Me ever more intimately.... and you will truly be able to withstand even the most difficult battle, you will emerge victorious from the battle of faith, for My strength will become powerful in you....

Amen
