7502 Truth or error....

January 18, 1960: Book 79

I am the lord Who reigns in time and eternity, to Whom everything is subject that My will has created, and Who directs everything according to His will and wise discretion. I am your God and creator from eternity, Who speaks to you as your father because you are His children who shall one day be immeasurably blessed at His side in creation and activity in freedom, light and power.... But when your father speaks to you from eternity He will also instruct you in all truth, He will introduce you to the truth, He will correct you if you are given wrong spiritual knowledge from outside and He will also openly point out what is truth and what is error. For I am the eternal truth Myself, and I will not tolerate that those people who desire truth are deprived of it or deformed, so that the human being moves in wrong thinking. My adversary, however, has made it his principle to declare war on truth, because truth allows Me to be recognized correctly but he only ever wants to prevent people from learning to recognize and love Me correctly. That is why he tries to distort My image. He portrays Me differently than I am and wants to make it difficult for people to love and strive for Me as their father. He always strives to undermine the truth, to mix it with misguided spiritual knowledge and to prevent people from recognizing Me.... And where the desire for truth is not deep he also succeeds there; but where the human being seriously desires the truth he will be recognized.... For I certainly help those who desire to stand in truth, and therefore I repeatedly convey the pure word to earth where there is a danger that the truth will be misunderstood or where My adversary has already found so much ground that his work of lies finds favour. It will always depend on people themselves whether they come into possession of the truth, for it always depends on their degree of desire for truth that it will also be conveyed to them unconceived. The adversary, however, likewise tries to persuade people to accept his spiritual knowledge, which he tries to spread amongst people by blinding their thinking and also succeeds if he finds tools which serve him.... For it concerns their innermost attitude towards Me or towards him. This is decisive as to whether I or My adversary can then express himself. But a tool which is active for Me will never be able to be used by My adversary at the same time.... just as, conversely, I will never use a tool which gave its will to My adversary and served him. Pride and the need for recognition are My adversary's best targets of attack, and then it is easy for him to persuade a person to serve him because he persuades him that I Myself chose him for a mission.... But this self-examination must also be carried out by a person himself in order to be certain of his task, otherwise no error could creep in which, however, is obvious if the result contradicts My pure word from above, which I Myself convey to earth, because again and again a correction is necessary. For the earth is flooded by error, what people represent as gospel is interspersed with error.... the truth is rejected everywhere but error is gladly accepted, people's thinking becomes confused, there is no more clarity, no more agreement, no more right understanding.... Everything deviates from the pure truth and yet is represented as truth by people. But the error can also be recognized by every person who has the will to stand in the pure truth.... because I stand by this Self, because I, as the eternal truth, give Myself to every person who desires the truth. But his good will is also required.... and he can always appeal to Me for enlightenment of spirit, and I will answer his prayer. For the human being must now also be able to recognize the correlations, and then he will also know where truth and where error can be found.... I am the lord, I Myself am the truth, and I am love.... I have the power to convey the truth to all people but I don't force a person to accept it, because the possession of truth depends on the person himself, to what extent he desires it and strives for it or asks for it. But the fact that My adversary will not cease to fight against the truth is certain and should always make you humans think that you should only consciously turn to Me if you want to live in truth....

Amen
