7796 The word is "light" that dispels darkness....

January 13, 1961: Book 81

The earth lies in profound darkness and people do not desire light otherwise they would open their eyes and also behold a ray of light which shines down to earth from above. The darkness on earth is so great that people close their eyes when a ray of light touches them, for they feel comfortable in the darkness and flee the light instead of joyfully letting it shine into their hearts.... People are blind in spirit, they are without any realization, without knowledge of their God and creator, they are without knowledge of their purpose of earthly life and of the aim they should strive for on earth.... And they desire no light.... For this reason they also resist every supply of truth, they resist every enlightenment, they accept no teachings which would impart knowledge to them about their God and creator.... They only live a purely earthly life, their senses are only turned towards the world and they don't think about what will jappen to them after the death of the body. They are without faith and without love and therefore blind in spirit. And yet the light shall still be brought to them before the end comes, for it can still show a few the path which they cannot find in the darkness and which leads upwards to Me, Who can only be sought and found on high. A light shall still shine for all people so that they cannot say that darkness has made it impossible for them to ascend.... They shall receive light which can shine into their hearts and illuminate it from within.... And only then will they feel the benefit of the light which emanates from Me and leads back to Me again. This is why the light of eternity descends to people again and again in the word, for My word alone can give them enlightenment, My word alone can impart knowledge to them and thus make them realize for what purpose they stay on this earth, and My word can also impart to them with the light the strength to fulfil their purpose of earthly life.... There shines a ray of light in the midst of darkness.... I Myself guide the light to earth in order to supply the few with light who open themselves to its ray, who don't resist the light when it touches them.... who want to come out of the darkness and therefore follow every ray of light which shines upon them on their earthly path.... For only I Myself can let 'light' radiate, only the truth from Me can ever be light, and this shall still be conveyed to people before it is too late. And even if it will be difficult for the darkness of night to be completely dispelled by the light shining into it.... anyone who desires light will also find himself where it radiates, where it is kindled by the father's love, Who is the light from eternity.... And all will be able to light a light for themselves, who hurry towards the source of light, who follow the rays that fall on their path.... And it will become ever brighter in those who seek the light, for they have overcome the darkness and will also never fall back into darkness again, for where once My divine light of love was able to shine there its effect is also unmistakable, for the hearts strive towards Me, they are now on the path to Me, for they go after the light which irrevocably leads upwards, towards the eternal light. But I also need light bearers who precede people upwards, who receive My light from Me Myself and now carry it amongst people so that they can likewise kindle a light for themselves and the glow of light will become ever brighter until it turns the whole night into bright day.... until the enlightened human being recognizes Me more and more and the darkness has completely left him. The bearers of light will not always have an easy job, they will often be harassed by beings who want to extinguish the light, but they will also always enjoy My protection and again and again be allowed to fetch a light from Me, for the bearers of light are in constant contact with Me, they are the mediators who pick up the flow of light and guide it to where the darkness is still strong, where there are people who desire light and therefore will also receive it. For the darkness on earth increases the closer the end is, yet I truly guide the light to anyone who wants to escape from it, for anyone who desires light desires Me, and anyone who desires Me will also find Me.... He will take the right path which leads upwards and My love will meet him and take hold of him.... and he will reach the aim, the light will shine for him forever...._>Amen
