Fighting with the sword of the mouth ....

In a world of the worst unbelief, the most blatant lack of love and the most complete ignorance the pure Word of God, which you receive as a special grace, will not be recognised as a divine gift, because the ability to recognise is dependent on a person's faith and love and intellectual acuity alone does not replace the ability to recognise. And yet it is necessary to work on people who are in spiritual blindness, it is necessary to try to awaken faith and love in them so that realisation comes as a result. The effect of their wrong life, without faith and love, has to be pointed out to them and the dreadful fate that awaits them if they do not change.

Without faith and love no understanding for spiritual teachings is to be expected, but when it is presented to men that they themselves create an unbearable or a blissful fate, they will familiarise themselves with the possibility of such and accordingly be receptive for further instructions or however reject it completely and deny a continued life when they are already completely enslaved to him who gave them this direction of thought, who has such an effect on them that they neither believe nor act lovingly and therefore are darkened in spirit until final bodily and spiritual death.

In the time of spiritual darkness there is no way of influencing people's will to decide in a certain direction. Only one thing can be achieved through speeches and ideas, that they think, and then the desire for truth is decisive which direction the thoughts take. And that is why it is a battle with the sword of the mouth, which can only be fought by those who are able to refute everything that is held against them from the opposing side or put forward as a counter-objection.

People who confront them have to be of a bright spirit, they have to be under divine guidance themselves, they only have to be the instrument through which God expresses Himself but Who nevertheless does not infringe upon the human being's free will if he wants to remain His adversary and cannot be convinced by divine words either. Nevertheless, the work of a person who tries to bring light into the spiritual darkness is an extremely beneficial one, as the thoughts of those who cross his path are stimulated as soon as he sets out to fight for the kingdom of God, as soon as he speaks out of his innermost drive to instruct his fellow human beings who are going astray and to help them to reach the light of day.

He will certainly find much unbelief, he will be exposed to hostility, God's adversary will confront him with worldly wisdom and he will constantly have to refute new objections, yet he will also have a supernatural strength which can be recognised from his irrefutable speeches and his conviction .... ... it will not be possible to prove to him the opposite of what he advocates, but with an earnest will and desire for the truth people will be able to convince themselves that his words deserve belief, that the promises will be fulfilled if the conditions attached to them are met. Only the will has to be there to allow love to arise within oneself, then faith will also be awakened and realisation will be easy ....

Yet God's adversary also works incessantly in order to confuse people's thinking, and therefore he drives them to heartlessness and destroys all faith as long as the human being does not defend himself. It is a battle that must be fought with all ruthlessness if it is to bring victory. But the ruthlessness of God's servants on earth consists of the fact that they mercilessly uncover the intrigues of God's adversary, that they are not afraid to expose him, that they present their faults and vices to people with the indication that they are under the influence of the one who pulls them down into the abyss. For then they speak the truth, whereas the adversary tries to win over his followers with lies and whitewashes everything people do in their lack of love.

It is not spiritual arrogance if the fellow human being is made aware of his faults, for he who recognises the causes of spiritual blindness also has the right, like a doctor, to draw attention to the causes of the illness, and thus he must unsparingly uncover the faults so that action can be taken against them and a recovery achieved which does not affect the body but the soul and secures it a life in eternity.

Anyone who has faith himself knows about the disaster of faithlessness and should control it; anyone who has matured in realisation through love also knows about the state of souls which are devoid of all love, and if he seriously wants to help them then he must test the strength of the divine Word on them and try everything in order to save them from utmost spiritual hardship .... he must fight with the sword of the mouth, and his spirit will guide him correctly, he will always find the right words and his battle for the kingdom of God will be successful ....

Amen
