3130 Keeping the name of Jesus sacred....
May 23, 1944: Book 41
With love and devotion you should pronounce the name of Jesus, it should be the holiest thing to you, you should carry it in your heart, it should be the star that shines in the dark night and the sun that shines brightly and gives you life. And you should not allow this most holy name to be mocked, but confront those who do so and admonish them to desist, so that they will not perish forever.... His name is to be kept holy, for it holds great power for those who speak it in faith and want to receive this power. You will receive what you ask for in His name, for He Himself has given you this promise; you will work miracles in His name who, as His disciples, want to prove the power of faith to people, you will be able to banish evil by invoking His name, for nothing can resist Him and the powers of darkness retreat from Him. They fear Him and His power. And if you make use of His name in order to work for Him, your work will also be a blessed one, for He Himself stands by your side and His grace floods you. His name will be your weapon in the battle against your enemies who want to denigrate His name, who do not acknowledge Him and declare open war on Him. And you will have to use this weapon if you get into serious trouble where no earthly help seems possible for you.... then call upon Him, faithfully pronounce His name, hand yourselves over to Him and He will save you, for He is everywhere where His help is requested and His power is truly greater than the power of His enemies.... The power of the divine name will also be experienced by those who lack all reverence for His holiness and who therefore unscrupulously destroy everything that has (takes?) reference to Jesus Christ and His teaching, who do not recognize the eternal deity in Him, who want to stamp His word as the work of men and therefore try to eradicate Him and His teaching without fearing the power of God. They will carry out actions that will horrify the believers.... they will mock His name and abuse it until God works through His servants, until they cast a spell over them by opposing the name of Jesus.... that they are unable to speak and blaspheme against Him, that they are deprived of all power and the power of God is physically perceptible to them. For His name is holy, and he who abuses it, who blasphemes His holy name, must atone for it.... Their sin is too great to remain unpunished, and if this still results in punishment on earth, the human being is still given a reprieve.... to recognize and repent, to ask for forgiveness of his grave guilt. For God does not allow Himself to be mocked.... His love is boundless, yet when people take action against Him themselves their hearts are hardened and they themselves fall prey to satan, who uses their will to fight Jesus Christ and take action against Him and His word. His power, however, is greater and it also shares itself with those who believingly pronounce His name when they are in need....
