Overcoming earthly desires increases resistance ....

You all live too much for your flesh and pay too little attention to the soul, and therefore you will also lack resistance.  Only for those who desire strengthening and nourishment of the soul, will it also be easy to overcome.  But how often do you fall victim to temptation and still choose the comforts of the world, and this lets you become weak.  Only when the body willingly renounces everything that pleases it and contributes to it's well-being, it will feel in itself the power of resistance, and it will not have to worry about succumbing in the struggle.

Do not give in to the urges of the body, but desire only the good of the soul, and you will grow and mature in spirit.  For those who love the Lord with all their heart must give everything for Him, they need nothing more if they carry Him in their heart, but the Lord comes only when all love and all desire is only for Him.

You want to strengthen your faith in visible signs and don't notice how little you yourselves do to let faith become strong in you.  Pay attention to yourselves and your desires, and try to silence the latter in you .... and your strength will increase, you will grow stronger in faith, and you will truly not have to fear your own weakness.

The warning goes out to mankind, however, not to reject the work of the Lord lightly, because He has chosen this way to send news of unheard-of importance to all the world.  In a time that has certainly never been more serious, the Lord puts Himself in the way and tries to save what can still be saved.  And this in the same way that He expresses Himself directly.  He is embodied in every word, He continues to give His teachings to the people, He also makes sure that they are received by the people, but the will of these people still opposes the Divine will too much.

And so there is always only a small part that recognizes the Lord Himself in His Word.  But very soon the deeds will follow, which He has announced in His Word.  And all will tremble before God's power and wisdom.  They will hear Him and fear Him, because even if He admonishes in love and patience, even if it is His intention to raise people up and to proclaim the truth to their spirit, He will nevertheless also bear witness to His power, and those who do not want to acknowledge Him, will hear the voice of His wrath.  Pay attention to that time and expect it, so that it does not surprise you. ....

Amen
