3444 Strong faith.... tool of God....

February 22, 1945: Book 44

You will still often find yourselves in adversity but you need never despair, for if you don't abandon Me I will never abandon you either. There is still no standstill but a constant decline, for people do not find their way to Me except for a few who recognize Me and are united with Me. And to these I call: Bear the adversity of the time for the sake of others who do not yet know that their souls are in danger. Because of them the adversity which also affects you and makes you despondent cannot yet be ended. But you always have a helper by your side and every disaster will pass you by if you believe and take refuge in Me in your adversity. And I will guide you through all dangers, but you must stand firm and remain strong in faith, for you shall be an example to others, a support on which they can lift themselves up when they are pressed to the ground by suffering. Stay strong and be My helpers on earth, for I need you to prove the strength of faith to your fellow human beings, to point them to Me, to teach them to raise their hands to Me in supplication and to approach Me for help. You should instruct them in My stead, because I cannot speak to them Myself in order not to force them into faith.... You shall speak for Me, and you can only do so if you are profoundly devout yourselves and don't let anything make you waver in your faith. You will always have the opportunity to work for Me, you will always encounter needy, desperate people whom you can help onto the right path.... and whom you should draw to Me and My working, to My love which, for the sake of erring souls, lets great adversity come upon people.... They shall become believers through you, they shall recognize by your calmness and inner peace what strength lies in the right faith, and they shall seek to gain this faith.... But you must first be strong in faith yourselves or you will not be able to stand up for it with conviction. And therefore persevere in prayer for the strength of faith, take refuge in Me in every adversity of body and soul and recognize My help if I avert the adversity from you.... I want to make strong instruments out of you for the coming time, and thus I must place you in situations where you are to prove your faith in Me.... where you intimately pray to Me and visibly find an answer.... For I need you, I need people on earth who are so deeply permeated by their faith in Me that they no longer shy away from any danger, that they feel Me as present everywhere and cannot be shaken by anything. For they shall fight for Me in the coming time, and this requires courage and strength which they can only gain through profound faith. You humans don't know what you are capable of through profound faith.... how mighty and powerful you can be if this faith is inherent in you.... And therefore no earthly adversity shall frighten you, for your faith can banish it at any time.... Ask Me and wait for My help in the firm confidence that I will help you, and let go of all worries, for I will take care of you if you entrust yourselves to Me with complete faith. For if you carry Me in your heart through your will, which is for Me, you are My children, and I will not abandon them forever.... and I will protect them in every adversity of body and soul....

Amen
