7317 Challenges of the adversary.... Jesus' fears on the mount of olives....

March 26, 1959: Book 77

You will still have to prove yourselves many times, for the temptations will not let up until the end. But you should also consider that unusual gifts of grace will make it easier for you to withstand everything, that you will also receive a significant amount of strength through the supply of My word from above, to which I have to say again and again that your soul truly feels this, even if you are physically in great weakness and believe that you are not strong enough to resist. I stand by you, I don't leave you alone, I know about your struggle and your spiritual hardship, I know about your physical hardship and weaknesses, but I have promised you My help if only you turn to Me, and I will certainly grant you this help, for I love you and don't want to lose you to My adversary who plays his game with you in an undetectable way in order to win you over. Yet don't let him have this triumph but simply turn to Me and I will help you. It is precisely the spiritual striving which he seeks to prevent and hinder you in every way, and if you know this you should use yourselves with increased strength by praying for the time being only for strengthening in your weakness.... and it will visibly come to you, only it requires you to overcome it, and this has to be mustered by your free will. But you will be granted a glorious victory, for the soul has its advantage from every battle it has passed, even if you yourselves can only register the feeling of love fulfilment towards Me; yet you will always become stronger and remain victorious over him.... And remember My work of redemption and the strong temptations before.... The adversary also tried to gain control over Me, he also tried to hold Me back from the work I wanted to accomplish, he also filled Me with a feeling of profound weakness and deprived Me of all faith in My power of resistance. And I prayed as a human being and experienced strengthening and thus became the victor over him because My will was strong to redeem you humans. And as long as you direct your will towards Me you need not fear that I will hand you over to My adversary. I will wrestle with him for your soul and truly, I will win it for Myself for all eternity....

Amen
