Resistance increases willpower ....

Whoever declares himself willing to work for the kingdom of God will always be blessed, even if he does not obviously feel the blessing. Although he often has to fight against resistance to strengthen his will, all these resistances contribute to the fact that the person will then work all the more diligently, that spiritual activity will always become more important to him and he will use every moment to serve God. But God knows why He sends trials upon him ..... He cannot use lukewarm and indolent labourers in His vineyard, for they will not be successful with the people on whom they are to carry out their spiritual work.

The kingdom of God demands militant fighters who only fight with weapons which are compatible with the commandment of love for God and their neighbour .... they must fight with the love of God .... and with the love of their neighbour.... they must fight with the sword of their mouth, they must teach, admonish, warn and correct error and lies, they must have knowledge themselves in order to pass on this knowledge ..... And this way of fighting requires perseverance and strength of will. It is a spiritual battle which time and again requires devotion to God and does not tolerate lukewarmness and sloth. For it is still calm, but very soon God's fighters will have to prove to themselves to what extent their will is firm and whether they use their weapons correctly.

The resistances will indeed become greater and greater, but whoever has once offered himself to Him as God's fighter will not fall away from Him, but he will need the supply of strength in various degrees. And therefore he should first already practise constant struggle with resistances ..... He will always feel that God's adversary wants to stop his striving, and the difficulties with which the one who wants to serve God has to struggle will be ever greater. And yet, his will must not be shattered, it must be stronger than the resistance, and God also blesses such a will.

The reason why God allows it is that the human being must be strengthened against even harder attacks from the world, which will want to prevent him from all spiritual work without secrecy. For God's adversary fights with all weapons in the last days and will spare no effort. Yet God will not remain hidden even in this difficult time of battle, He will distribute strength where it is needed, He will teach and enable people to work in His vineyard, He will donate strength and power in the battle against the enemy of the souls. But He only needs the human being's will for this, and in order to form it into the highest strength, He allows adversities to come upon the human being, for these increase his power of resistance ....

Amen
