1950 Measures against the Christian faith....

June 12, 1941: Book 28

Anyone who entrusts himself to the Lord Jesus Christ in the ensuing time need not fear abandonment when confronted by difficulties. The adversary's power has indeed never had a more destructive influence upon believers than will be the case now. Incredibly harsh measures will be taken which intend that the human being should abandon the Christian faith, that he should deny Jesus Christ and adhere to a new course which represents completely different fundamental teachings to those of Jesus Christ. And much will be accomplished by these measures, many people will lose the knowledge of Him if they do not courageously stand firm against those who deem themselves mighty. There is One Who is much mightier and those who trust in Him need not worry. The Lord will give them everything, they will be knowledgeable and wise and speak, where necessary, with full conviction on behalf of their Lord and Saviour, they will be able to counter every contention; because the spirit of those who fight for Christ is awake and will manifest itself in the hour of need. Even if everything earthly seems to disappear, the Word of God, which He Himself gave to people on earth, will continue without fail. For God says 'My Word shall not pass away in all eternity....'

On account of this Word a fierce battle will commence, but this battle is not related to world events.... It is a battle which merely concerns the acknowledgement of Jesus Christ. This battle will indeed claim sacrifices, but anyone who wants to be strengthened by divine grace will also receive the strength to willingly endure even those sacrifices. He will readily speak on behalf of Jesus Christ and will no longer fear but undauntedly face events. And the Lord needs people who sacrifice themselves for Him and are always prepared to do God's will, because it is a critical time and requires full commitment. It brings events which can only be endured with faith in Jesus Christ but which also enable the human being's soul to mature fully and bring him the greatest reward, because only the devout human being will unite with the divine spirit which will teach him and provide him with strength through God's Word.... and repeatedly exhort him to remain faithful to the Lord and Redeemer....the Divine Saviour.... when the world opposes Him and wants to remove Him from the hearts of human beings....

Amen
