8116 Only from God does truth emanate....

March 4, 1962: Book 86

The power of the evil increases the closer the end is.... You must always remember this and keep watch and pray, for you cannot be vigilant enough against his cunning and deceitfulness, and you cannot unite with Me enough in prayer that I will supply you with the strength to resist him. As soon as you leave Me out, as soon as you go your way without Me, he is already at your side, and you will then find it difficult to join Me as long as he holds you captive. He scatters discord in your hearts, he tries to incite you to unkind speeches, he tries to awaken all bad qualities in you, and you are often too weak and don't recognize the originator of it, where only a brief thought of Me would suffice to push him away from you. He will not succeed in turning you away from Me, for My love keeps you because you long for Me, because your will is meant for Me and therefore I also have the right to protect you against his attacks. But you should be vigilant and not give him the opportunity to try his hand at you. Believe Me that he will nevertheless not be victorious over you, for he will always be repelled by the light which radiates towards him from you and which originates from Me, the original light of eternity. The radiance of this light will also give you the inner conviction that you walk in truth, and therefore the adversary will not succeed in extinguishing a light which I Myself have kindled in you. The fact that it does not break through everywhere, that people often do not feel its luminosity, is due to the spiritual arrogance of those who believe they stand in the light and can only ever show a blinding light which has no luminosity. But as long as they don't take the direct path to Me I cannot light a true light for them either.... And this, too, is to be regarded as a victory by the adversary who, however, will not gain a soul by it, because those souls also have Me as their goal, they just don't take the right path in order to easily and safely reach the goal. And My adversary will always know how to enforce truth with error, but the human being's will is decisive as to whether he nevertheless reaches the goal. People will raise disputes, opinions will be very different and everyone will try to prove them with his intellect.... Yet as long as they don't turn to Me Myself for clarification, no agreement will be reached either.... But as long as they do so there will still be darkness on earth, for the spiritual darkness can only be broken through by a light which emanates from Me.... And even if you believe that you can equate the 'word' with Me Myself, which you call 'My word'.... when I Myself come to you in the word, you will hear My direct address and truly, a light will shine within you which will give you brightness you never possessed before.... For My word is pure and unadulterated, which you can no longer claim of the book you possess, which has undergone many changes and which you also don't know how to interpret in its meaning where it still contains pure truth.... Why don't you listen to Me Myself when I want to enlighten you where you still walk in darkness? My love seeks to make the truth accessible to all people, yet free will decides whether My gift of grace is accepted or not.... Yet no-one shall say that it was withheld from him, for a heartfelt request for the supply of the pure truth is enough for Me to distribute it and that everyone who seriously desires the truth will now also think truthfully. Yet you, who fanatically hold on to spiritual knowledge which was also conveyed to you by people, will first have to check whether you have been instructed in the truth, and you will only be able to carry out this check with the request for My support.... Only then will you know what you may accept or reject, for only then will you be in heartfelt contact with Me, Who is the eternal truth itself.... And I will also fight this battle to the end against the one who is an enemy of truth.... And I will emerge victorious, because the light from Me will uncover everything and put an end to his activity for an infinitely long time....

Amen
