5668 Truth - lie.... light and darkness....

May 5, 1953: Book 62

Untruth can lead to serious consequences, for evil will always give birth to evil. The spirit of falsehood emanates from the prince of darkness and causes darkness to spread wherever he is at work. But darkness can only be countered with light in order to chase it away.... The lie can only be countered with truth in order to expose and brand it. And truth emanates from Me, thus I radiate My strength against darkness, or the light also leads the battle against darkness. The world would truly be in a better state if doors were opened to truth, yet people love darkness and are far more closed to truth than to error and lies. And where My adversary knows how to cloak untruth, where he knows how to spread error under the guise of a preacher of truth, he has already darkened the light and often succeeds in extinguishing it completely because people don't guard the light, because they don't protect it.... because they feel comfortable in the darkness. Light and darkness are opposites, just as I and My adversary pursue completely opposite aims.

And so it must now also be understandable to you that I am never to be found on the same road where My adversary walks.... The light is waging a battle against the darkness and does not fight with the same means.... the truth is and remains clear and understandable and will always oppose untruth and never go along with it for the sake of appearances, which means as much as that I cannot agree when untruth is advocated and only tolerate it because I gave people free will, which, however, does not mean that I approve of it. Wherever misguided teachings have crept into My pure gospel I will never offer My hand to stamp these teachings with truth, instead I will always oppose them and kindle the light where such is desired. My special love applies to misguided people when I recognize their good will and their love for Me. I then value their will and their love and do not condemn them for accepting lies and error. But I also seek to bring light to them, which can happen all the more easily the deeper they stand in love.... Then they will recognize the error themselves and turn more and more towards the truth.... And if they don't want to or are unable to accept it because they cannot resist My adversary's activity as weak people, they will suddenly realize in the spiritual kingdom where to look for the real truth.... For every person must come to the truth if he wants to reach the light.... And blessed is he who can already free himself from darkness on earth, blessed is he who possesses the courage and strength to detach himself from misguided thoughts, blessed is he who seriously desires the truth on earth and requests it from Me.... I Myself will instruct him so that there will be light in his heart, so that the spiritual darkness will disappear and he will become clairvoyant....

Amen
