5455 God's will.... God's approval....

August 3, 1952: Book 60

Being Lord of heaven and earth, as Lord of the kingdom of blissful spirits and also of the deepest darkness, I truly have the power to release and bind, i.e., to make all the unfree ones to become free and to prevent My opposing forces from using their power, if it is not (being used) according to My will. And yet I withdraw My will as much as possible because I want all beings, whether good or evil, to stand on their own, because I want them as independent beings to freely determine their state, because I want them to become perfect one day. Therefore I often allow what does not correspond to My will, yet always for just the purpose that the being itself recognizes the wrongness of one’s thinking and acting and changes one’s nature by oneself. But if it is according to my will, everything has to obey Me, and even the darkest powers jhthen cannot offer Me any resistance. And I would also be able to prove this power of Mine to people on earth, yet I am far more interested in My living creations' love than their fear, which would certainly result in obedience as well but which is no pleasure to Me.... I want to win the love of My creatures and even the beings from the deepest darkness shall feel My rays of love from time to time so that they voluntarily turn to Me again. And that’s why I don't always let My might take effect, even if the actions of people and also that of the spiritual in darkness did often require an intervention of My might.... Yet I weaken the effect of too great of abuses by My adversaries, i.e., I leave My creatures the freedom to think and act according to their will, even though what they do is often bad above bad.... But I protect those who are attacked by them by weakening the effect or turning it into the opposite.... hence, for example, in that what a person inflicts on his fellow human being with evil intent serves that one for the salvation of his soul. Then the human being has apparently achieved what he wanted to do, to harm his fellow human being in some way, yet his soul can derive a benefit from it which abundantly outweighs the earthly harm.... And yet I did not prevent the former from carrying out his intention.... I certainly could but I don't, because only in this way can the being itself come to the realization of its sinfulness. And yet, nothing happens in the entire universe without My knowledge.... And this shall always give you humans the certainty that nothing will come upon you but what I Myself recognize to be good for you. In this respect, even the evil forces serve Me, for they too do nothing which I do not know.... And they cannot harm you humans as long as you are in contact with Me, but they can gain control over you if you detach yourselves from Me by unbelief and lack of love.... My adversary will then certainly have you under his control, yet that, too, I will allow because I don't want to force you to turn to Me, but the voluntary return has to take place which then can certainly be postponed for an infinite long time because this is your free will.

You should therefore never blame the evil forces if you have fallen prey to them.... they cannot force you, just as I do not force you to follow Me, nor will they be hindered by Me in their activity unless, in a case of danger from their side, you reach out your hands to Me in desire.... You then can be certain of My help, as truly as I am Lord over heaven and earth, over the blessed kingdom of spirits and also over the kingdom of darkness.... whosoever calls upon Me, I will deliver that one from their hands, and the one will never again need to fear the forces that want to destroy him....

Amen
