5486 Change of will.... Overcoming matter....

September 14, 1952: Book 60

The spirit, which still keeps you bound to earth, stands against Me, for everything you desire belongs to him; he still possesses spiritual substances which are far removed from Me and which he wants to prevent from returning to Me. As a human being you yourselves are already considerably advanced in your development and yet you are still under his control as long as you have not yet learnt to despise matter as something that still fully belongs to him. You have to know about the spiritual connection, you have to know that everything that is visible to you is imperfect spiritual substance, therefore part of My adversary. But if this now also holds your senses captive, then you also still stand in his area, will-wise turned towards him. But if you can free yourselves.... from the desire for that which belongs to him.... then you will also escape his control, then you will, as it were, lift yourselves from earth into the kingdom of the spirit which belongs to Me and which you should inhabit according to your destiny in order to be able to rule and reign in it according to My will. On earth you shall now accomplish this transformation of your will, you shall learn to despise the material world, you shall learn to regard it as what it really is.... a conglomerate of immature spiritual substances which are still opposed to Me and which shall purify itself.... You should therefore place yourselves abovematter because you are the spiritual beings with the highest level of development in this earthly material world, and you should endeavour to sever the last ties with this world but instead establish a bond with the kingdom where I Am ruler, where everything is spiritualised and indescribably happy. You should consciously free yourselves from My adversary's dominion and come to.... But as long as matter still binds you, as long as you feel the desire for it, you are not yet Me free from its dominion and therefore not yet fit for the spiritual kingdom, for I want to possess your undivided love, I want to take your whole thinking captive; I can only work in you once you are completely free from its nature. But then freedom, strength and light will be your share, then the spiritual inside you will have liberated itself from its control and lifted itself up to Me, from Whom it can now no longer separate itself eternally. As long as you live on earth he will constantly tempt you, yet without the desire for matter you will be immune to his temptations, then you will have overcome matter, then you will only desire the possessions of the spiritual kingdom, and in possession of these goods you will be strong and thus also victorious over the one who is My adversary.... But to have overcome him means to have become My child, to be a candidate for My kingdom, which is not of this world, which gives you bliss that is immeasurable and which truly outweighs the difficult battle on earth against the adversary, yet can never be acquired other than through battle....

Amen
