3600 Light.... God’s word....

November 12, 1945: Book 46

From the realms of light the light flows inexorably into the darkness of the earth, and whoever moves in the rays of light is no longer frightened by the darkness. Nevertheless, dark figures seek to darken the path of light in order to mislead people who are making their way upwards. But the light is so bright that they cannot bear it and flee from its power. And the path to the height again lies bright and clear before the person who wants to reach the aim. Where light is, darkness is no longer to be feared, and all efforts of the dark spiritual forces are fruitless, for where the light has once found access to earth, there it cannot be extinguished eternally. The light radiates to earth, it emanates from God, the eternal light.... it is His emanation, thus visible evidence of His working of love and His strength of love.... The light is God’s word, the manifestation of Himself, Who wants to make Himself known to people. And this light can never be obscured by the forces of darkness, God’s word will never lose its truth and strength, it will always be a luminous signpost to Him for the creature which is still distant from Him but strives to come close to Him. And even if dark figures often flit across the path, the light is strong enough to chase them away, and the human being can fearlessly cover the path in the bright glow of the divine ray of light.... He is untouchable for those creatures, and he is protected by beings of light who guide him during his earthly life. Yet the path to ascent is difficult to pass and requires strength and endurance, although all obstacles are recognizable in the glow of light.... But the human being has to overcome this hardship, he has to fight step by step. But the light is at the same time strength-giving.... The word of God is a source of undreamt-of strength, and anyone who draws from it will never tire on his path through life, he will always be strengthened and able to meet all the demands which life's difficult path places on him. For God Himself is in the word with those who draw from the source of life, who hungrily receive His word, who want to refresh and strengthen themselves with it.... God Himself is the word, God is the light of eternity, God is the source of strength Who feeds everything with His strength that strives towards Him, that longs for light, for the nearness of God, and thus moves in the ray of light which flows from the spiritual kingdom to earth.... And every person will be permeated by this strength who takes refuge in His word, as He Himself has promised....

Amen
