The heart's readiness for the divine word is so easy to establish if the human being remains in heartfelt prayer to the heavenly father and asks for His blessing. The slightest distraction from outside will put the otherwise willing earthly child into a state of inattention, but if his thoughts want to detach themselves, all that is needed is a heartfelt call to the father and his spirit will be strengthened so that he can unite with the father-spirit.... And thus the strength will flow to him unhindered.
The human being bears witness to divine activity if he tries to convey to his fellow human beings what he has received and thus speaks in the name of the lord. He can contribute unspeakably much to the glorification of the divine name if he does not shy away from mentioning the work and reign of the eternal deity on every occasion, for the world is without any knowledge of it since it no longer believes anything. And it will come that no one will dare to speak of God and His only begotten son Jesus Christ. The few who still believe will be ostracized and people will try to prevent them from spreading the spiritual wealth. No stone will be left unturned to eradicate the knowledge of divine truths. And no-one will dare to speak out against it, for they shy away from the violence of the powerful. And yet at this time we must work particularly diligently so that the teaching of Christ may be spread in secret. Whoever openly confesses the name of the lord will truly be of great merit before the father, for he will fight for the souls of his fellow human beings and also suffer for them if the father in heaven wills it. And now the formal will be separated from the living representative of Christ's teaching. For that which is form will not stand up to these decrees, and thus all form will be sacrificed, it will be easy to separate from it, and all that will remain is a building without substance and without inwardness. But whoever truly lives in Christ, his time has come, he joyfully joins the ranks of Christ's fighters. His spirit is free, so he does not fear the body's banishment; he speaks for Christ, because Christ Himself speaks through him; he is no longer timid, because he regocnizes God and the truth, so he does not fear the world and its rulers. And a great power emanates from him, which is felt by all who are of the same spirit. They will unite and form a coalition, and they will no longer suffer in a worldly way but will always see a commandment in the most eager work of the soul which they must fulfil, even if they are threatened with earthly punishments. And now many a seed will sprout, for humanity does not like the spiritless time, it becomes tired of worldly goings-on and is deprived of the word which testifies to God.... And so it seeks it and will receive it through the mouth of those whom the lord has taught and sent out into the midst of these starving people. And the word will ignite, it will immensely stimulate people whose desire for God is the reason that God comes to them in the word. And the battle for supremacy will break out.... The spiritual world will now fight against the disinherited. It will be commanded and forbidden, commanded by worldly power to obey its laws and forbidden everything God-willing and God-emphasizing. Two opponents are now fighting.... again the darkness fights against the light, but the light will shine and penetrate the darkness, and he will be blinded who in presumption tries to extinguish the light. And this is the spiritual turning point which will be experienced by those who regocnize the spiritual adversity of the present time and stand up for the spiritual well-being of their fellow human beings. For these are welcome to the lord as fighters. He is assembling His army and preparing it for battle.... they will fight with the sword of their mouth, for the lord blesses them and gives them strength and vigour to fight for His name....
Amen
