"The Kingdom of Heaven Suffers Violence ...."

So let Me give you an explanation in which way I want My Word to be understood: "The kingdom of heaven suffers violence, and only those who need violence seize it ....". It is not to be understood as the exercise of violence towards a fellow human being, but only the violence over oneself, over one's own desires, which helps the human being to gain possession, to seize the heavenly kingdom in all its glory. This cannot be given to him but he must gain it for himself, he must fight a battle for the highest good, for eternal bliss.

And as long as man dwells on earth, this battle will have to apply to his physical desires, the fulfilment of which is always a hindrance to the attainment of the goal .... spiritual upward development ..... Whoever wants to win this battle has to do violence to himself .... And thus he has to fight with his adversary who will always put physical desires, the desire for earthly goods, into him, who thus lures him with worldly splendour and earthly splendour. To renounce everything that is offered to him in this way requires strength of will, it requires violence in itself by virtue of which, however, he will most certainly snatch the kingdom of heaven, for he who sacrifices for My sake receives in richest measure, and what is offered to him, what I offer him, is truly of indescribable value.

Never again can the kingdom of heaven come to people who are lukewarm and sluggish, who do not struggle but let everything go their way .... who only testify to their desire for the kingdom of heaven through words and wishes, but who never ever let words and wishes become deeds. And thus the time has come when force must be used more than ever if the kingdom of heaven is to be open to people ..... Yet in My love I come to meet all those who fight .... I help them in their fight against themselves by reducing the temptations of this world, by making them aware of the decrepitude and transience of everything they desired and which requires a hard fight against themselves to give up ....

I know about the human being's weakness and evaluate his will, thus I assist him if he only wants to attain Me and My kingdom but lacks the strength to use force against himself and his desire. And thus I don't demand more use of force than he is capable of ..... I let him go through earthly adversity in order to make the kingdom of heaven desirable to him, and if he only wants to use the least amount of force he will also succeed in seizing the kingdom of heaven. But his will must always become active itself. He must fight against his desires, he must learn to despise everything worldly and thus sacrifice what is dear to him .... and if his strength and his will is not sufficient for this, I use force ....

I draw him to Me and take from him what he does not want to give up on his own .... And if he surrenders to My will, he has passed the inner battle. He has likewise used force and seized the kingdom of heaven with My support, which I will not deny to anyone who is willing and testifies to this through his prayer. The kingdom of heaven is open to him, and once he has completed his short earthly life he will be accepted by Me into My kingdom of glory, as I have promised, and he will be eternally blessed ....

Amen
