7434 God's will or approval....

October 22, 1959: Book 78

Let it be said to all of you that you are unable to do anything without My will or My permission.... but this does not mean that you do not have free will.... For will and execution are two different things, the will is your own affair which I do not determine in any way. But whether you can also carry out your will requires My consent, My will. And sometimes it has to work against your will, sometimes I have to intervene for the sake of your souls. But your actual will is judged, how it is directed.... in a good or evil sense. For your will shall be tested in earthly life. But sometimes it can also be so directed that the effect of the will, thus the deed carried out, harms or misleads the maturing of your own soul as well as that of other people's souls; and then I often intervene and don't allow the deed to be carried out in the first place, although the human being also has to answer for such a wrong will. But I do not prevent all such bad intentions and deeds, otherwise no-one would believe in the freedom of will and a hopeless chaos would arise, as well as the destroying-willing principle would assert itself on earth to the detriment of people who go through earthly life. Nevertheless, every person can pass the test of will, whether his plans are carried out or not, for he will only be judged according to his will. However, there is also a reason why I very often allow wrong actions, for people should become aware of their own wrong actions and recognize the wrongness of their will and actions by their own wrong actions or those of their fellow human beings, because the effect of such actions will never be good. The freedom of the will, however, will constantly be disputed by people because their course of life does not always unfold as they want it to and they therefore declare the will to be unfree. But no human being is forced to follow a certain direction of his will.... Every person's will is completely free and can turn in any direction at its own discretion.... But I know when you have to be stopped, when I have to oppose My will and thus prevent actions which this free will gives birth to, which it plans to carry out in blind hatred, in ignorance of its effect and the harm it can cause to his fellow human being.... For My love and wisdom sees further and seeks to compensate and spare people much hardship and misery who trustingly hand themselves over to Me, who entrust their lives to Me again and again and whom I therefore also protect from great harm.... But I also overlook the great.... And I often call people away from life whose attitude does not correspond to the well-being of their fellow human beings and who have already proven their wrong will too often.... because I want to prevent unnecessary suffering from coming upon people which does not benefit them spiritually.... but just as I also call people away whose attitude has always corresponded to My will but whose mission on earth I consider to be finished and therefore end further activity on their part.... For My will and My permission are only decisive as to whether the human being's will can take effect or not. But the human being is responsible for his will, regardless of whether he is prevented from carrying out the deed or not. This is why much guilt will have to be carried away, for the human being's thinking and will is free and he will one day have to give account for everything.... not only for the works that have been carried out.... Therefore, be careful and pay attention to your thoughts, for they reveal your innermost nature; pay attention to your will so that it is directed towards what is good and sublime, and you will not have to fear responsibility one day in eternity....

Amen
