6990 Do not sell your soul....
December 10, 1957: Book 74
The price you pay for a joyful, pleasurable earthly existence is too high, for in return you sell your soul to the one who pulls it back down into the abyss. It is only an exceedingly short time during which you can indulge in the pleasures of the world, but eternity is infinitely long, the time is infinitely long when you dwell in darkness again in unspeakable torment. But you overestimate this short time on earth and thoughtlessly give away an eternal life in glory for truly worthless things.... You don't know what you are doing and don't listen to the serious warnings and admonitions which are constantly sent to you, so that you will lead your way of life responsibly, so that you will remember the time after your physical death when you will receive the delicious reward if you take all warnings and admonitions to heart and only try to improve the state of your soul. My adversary knows how to lure you with the charms of the world and you don't see through his game that he tries to win your soul with it, which only needs to get rid of the last shackle in order to be able to enter the kingdom of light, My kingdom, where it will be blissfully happy again in light and strength as it once was.... And neither the bliss in the kingdom of light nor the torments of the abyss can be shown to you, for you have to return to Me again in complete free will.... just as he cannot force you to follow his enticements and lose your soul to him either. But I truly do everything to draw your attention to the horrors of the abyss which you will inevitably face if you are unable to separate yourselves from the world and its goods. And you will also be told about the beatitudes in the spiritual kingdom which await you if you live according to My will, if you strive to attain spiritual goods and put the world aside.... The fact that you don't believe in it is the result of your way of life, for you completely forget about your neighbour who is in need because of your desire for the world and earthly goods. If you would willingly turn your help to him then everything would also seem more credible to you which is held up to you by My servants who, in view of the end, step into the path of all people once in order to proclaim the gospel to them. But the increased greed for the world and its pleasures dulls you, and every warmer feeling in your heart is stifled, for My adversary, who knows that love snatches souls away from him, takes care of this, that he will certainly lose them if only the human being kindles love within himself. However, the human being's desire for earthly possessions makes him insensitive to his neighbour's hardship; his selfish love becomes ever stronger and he only seeks to gain everything for himself, and it hardens his soul, the shells become ever tighter and My adversary has won the game.... He has only paid a small price for the soul: a physical comfort for a very short time which has already come to an end with the death of the body and.... can already be over on the morrow. Why do you humans not even seriously consider your situation, the certain end of your life on this earth, which you yourselves cannot determine in terms of time.... why do you attach such great value to earthly goods and the pleasures of the world? And carelessly you give away the indescribable bliss of the spiritual kingdom for the sake of these short, worthless pleasures. Earthly life is a test for you humans, it is the last time of free decision for Me or for My adversary. And he will offer you everything in order to win you over for himself.... but I, too, will let grace upon grace flow to you, yet I will not exert any coercion of will upon you. Yet it is not impossible for you to make the right decision, for you are constantly informed and you can also recognize the transience of earthly things on a daily basis, you experience the sudden recall of fellow human beings from their lives on a daily basis.... you can think about everything.... Thus you will one day also have to bear the consequences of your decision if it is not for Me, and you will be allowed to enjoy indescribable bliss if you renounce your short earthly lifetime in order to gain Me and My kingdom for eternity....
Amen
