4354 Leadership of God.... demons in the end time....

June 26, 1948: Book 51

All steps are in vain if you don't let Me walk beside you so that I will guide you correctly and you won't take the wrong path. A perpetual battle of the demons for your soul takes place and thus they stand enticingly by the path, seductively they try to distract you so that you no longer pay attention to the path and imperceptibly take a wrong path which leads you far away from the aim. If you let Me walk beside you, the demons will not dare to approach you, the abundance of light emanating from Me will blind them, they will retreat and let you pass by unmolested. Bear this in mind that you are constantly surrounded by forces which do not want you well, but that you need not fear them under My protection, for then they are powerless and you are stronger than they are. In the end time they rage particularly fiercely and do not even stop at the spiritually striving person, for the light which radiates from you, if you seek or spread the truth, irritates and outrages them so that they try to extinguish it and therefore harass you severely. But you are safe with Me, for I guide you in such a way that you reach your aim by a short path. But the path is more arduous, it is not even and bordered by landscapes which edify your eyes, the earthly path is a hard pilgrimage path, and although it is lovely to look at, danger lurks behind the beauty. But with Me you pay no attention to toil and hardship, you do not look around you but only above you, you look forward where your eyes behold glorious things which you seek to reach. And therefore you must not set off on your path alone but constantly call upon Me for My guidance, you must always walk in My company, then the earthly path will be easy for you, the hostile powers will not be able to harass you so much, even though they repeatedly try to determine you, to dismiss Me and to continue walking alone. Your will must be strong and remain so, then you will be victors.... your will must be My will, then I will strengthen it and hold you if you are in danger of falling. The demons' battle for your soul will intensify the closer it gets to the end, but you will also stand firmer in your faith in Me and meet every temptation with resistance, and the power the enemy uses against you will be ever less, for the light of My presence will shine ever brighter and the dark powers will sense ever more clearly that they are confronted by the lord of creation, Whom they cannot force. And they will flee you the closer the end comes.... Then your strength of faith will be so profound that nothing will be able to deter you or make you apostate, for then you will know that I Myself will come to you in a visible way and lift you up, as I have promised you....

Amen
