7971 The opponent seeks to extinguish the light....

August 19, 1961: Book 83

No matter what My adversary may devise against you, as long as you are active on My behalf neither cunning nor trickery on his part will have any effect, for My strength is at your disposal, My love is with you and helps you in every affliction of body and soul. And this is your weapon, that your will is meant for Me, that you want to serve Me and that you take refuge in Me in prayer, that you maintain the bond with Me which ensures the constant influx of My strength and which gives Me the right to push My adversary away from you.... For he flees the light which shines from Me. Therefore he seeks to extinguish it, he seeks to hinder My bearers of light in their mission, he seeks to take action against the light and to dim it wherever he can. Yet the light itself reveals his nature, and therefore he is also always to be recognized.... even though he appears under a mask, even though he tries to cloak himself in the garment of an angel of light. But the light itself will strip him of his mask and he will have to flee, because the light from Me has great strength.... I look for vessels for Myself into which I can pour Myself out, into which I can pour My spirit for the salvation of humanity. And I protect these vessels from being used by My adversary, so that he too can empty himself and thus, as it were, the spiritual knowledge which emanates from Me is mixed with an adversary's influx.... I protect My spiritual knowledge and keep it pure and unadulterated as long as a human being serves Me as an instrument and thus as a receptacle for My flow of spirit.... And I know that humanity is in great spiritual distress because the pure truth is withheld from it, because My adversary is at work everywhere where people do not seriously strive towards Me, and because people therefore no longer take the right path which is shown to them by the truth.... My adversary prevents the knowledge of Jesus Christ and His act of salvation.... He prevents the knowledge of Him Who said: "I am the way, the truth and the life...." And I want to bring this truth back to people, I want to show them the way so that they may attain life.... And thus I must also first give them the knowledge of Jesus Christ, in Whom I Myself accomplished the act of Salvation.... And this knowledge comes to you from above, I Myself convey it to earth, I speak to you always out of My love which wants to lead you to eternal life. My adversary, however, will lose you if I have won you for Me.... thus he will strive to keep you away from the divine redeemer Jesus Christ, he will try to undermine the truth, he will try to extinguish all light, because the light emanates from Me and leads to Me again. But My adversary is the prince of darkness, and he will always spread darkness wherever it is only possible due to the will of such people who themselves are indifferent towards the truth. Insofar as they desire the truth he cannot penetrate, for the light will shine brightly and chase him away. But if people themselves are lukewarm in their striving for the truth, then he has an easy game and will plunge them into ever greater darkness.... And therefore you should be vigilant and know that you will constantly be harassed by My adversary; but you should also know that you will be protected from all error if only you accept Me Myself.... as the eternal truth.... and if you want to serve Me as bearers of light, which I need on earth in order to be able to break through the darkness which the adversary has spread across the earth.... For those who serve Me are also cared for and protected by their father of the house.... And truly, My power is greater than the power of him who also once came forth from Me but gave up the light himself and sought darkness.... He may well tempt you humans, but he cannot force you.... He can go against the light but he cannot extinguish it because it emanates from Me and because he himself flees the light.... And the servants who want to serve Me recognize him and his activity, and they will deny him access because they themselves stand in the light and have bond with Me, as the eternal light. And he cannot break through this because he will be recognized before he can seriously work....

Amen
