7123 Increased activity of the adversary in the end time....

May 17, 1958: Book 76

I am always ready to take over your protection if you ask Me for it. I know that again and again you are exposed to oppression and are often unable to offer resistance due to your weakness. But neither can I turn them away from you before you approach Me for help, because My adversary also has the right to exert his influence on you. And thus it is always up to you yourselves whether you receive help or My adversary gains power over you. He makes every effort to bring you down, for he sees it when a soul threatens to be lost to him. And then he will use all means to win you back. And this will always mean hours or days of inner struggles and spiritual hardship for you. But if you call upon Me he will have to leave you.... Don't forget that you have a very certain effective means to push him away from you if only you speak My name in devotion, if you give yourselves to Me in Jesus, so that I may now be your protection against him. He is and remains My adversary but he also knows that he is powerless against Me, that I only allow him freedom if you don't resist him yourselves, because then it is his right to practice his art of seduction on you, for once you followed him voluntarily and until you voluntarily try to escape from him I cannot deprive him of his right. But you may also request My grace and love at any time, you are not defencelessly at his mercy if only you remember Me and want to resist him. In the last days before the end his rage is particularly noticeable, for he will cause confusion amongst people everywhere, he will ignite discord and strife, he will touch every individual where he is sensitive.... And he will make use of those who are loyal followers of him. And this will have the effect that people will be hostile towards each other, that everyone will only strive for his own advantages and not be afraid to deceive his neighbour, every individual will have to struggle with the adversities of daily life behind which My adversary always lies, who wants to rob people of their inner peace in order to make them receptive to his influence. He truly knows his business in the end time but nevertheless you humans need not become discouraged, for you can escape his influence if only you muster the will to call upon Me for help in every physical and spiritual adversity. Then you need not fear defeat, then you will be strong enough to resist him because I will provide you with strength and help you to become victors over him. But no human being will be able to go through earthly life without a fight, for you take your earthly path for this purpose in order to ascend from the abyss, and every ascent requires strength and overcoming.... But the ascent can be easy for you if you entrust yourselves to My protection and My help, if you constantly request and draw strength from Me, which will then also let you easily overcome all obstacles and always lead you closer to the aim.... For anyone who asks for Me will also certainly unite with Me, and then the aim for the purpose of which he walks on earth will also have been reached....

Amen
