Will of resistance of men towards the divine word.
14. January 1949. B.D. NR. 4539.
It is notable how few men devote themselves to the effect of the divine word, how little they take notice of it, that it is supplied to them in extraordinary way, and how often they rebel against it inwardly and reject it quietly or openly. Men are already strongly influenced by the opponent of God, who clouds the ability to judge and has weakened the will, and that is why they do not recognize and do not want to recognize, what they lack and could bring help to them. The most important appears to them completely unimportant; they just pay attention to the demands of the body and are spiritually little interested. And so it is also to be explained, that the divine word is always only occasionally recognized as truth and sends out its rays as light into the surrounding area. There will only be few men, who feel the power of the divine word at themselves and therefore mature their soul through it. The Gospel will certainly be carried everywhere, but not find open doors everywhere, and so only occasionally the little lights light up and cannot chase away the darkness of the night, which lies spread over earth. Only there it will be light and clear, where the light from above is lighted, where the directly offered word is received, which is superb in its effect on men. And so it is not because of the word itself, it is also not because of the activity of the messengers of God, but of the will of resistance of men, that the divine word does not find that spreading, which is necessary if mankind is to recover spiritually and to prepare for the last judgement. Innumerable threads are spun between heaven and earth; from earth itself also numerous threads go in all directions; everywhere the tidings of the extraordinary work of God get through, and it could therefore also find spreading in all directions, but again and again the threads die out, and with respect to free will it is impossible to send the divine word to men, as long as the will opposes it inwardly. Therefore constantly it must be wooed and worked, and as soon as just one individual man accepts the message from above, a great work of rescue has been accomplished, and for the sake of these individual souls God supplies his word to earth, so that they find the way to him, before the end comes, before it becomes night and all light goes out. Amen. B.D. NR. 4539.
