Freedom of will ....

Freedom of will is the explanation for everything that seems incomprehensible to the human being and which makes him doubt the nature of God. The still imperfect human being often uses his free will in such a wrong way, but then God does not prevent him from carrying out what his free will wants to do and thus, to a certain extent, gives His approval, i.e. He tolerates what the human being carries out in his imperfection. But He does not approve, even if He does not prevent the human being from doing it. (25.4.1950) If man possesses freedom of will, he must be able to extend his will and action downwards as well as upwards, for freedom eliminates every restriction.

But man was created with free will, because this is decisive for eternity, for the life of the soul after death. The human being's free will creates the state of his soul in the spiritual kingdom. God's will will always be a moving in divine order, an adapting to His law, which was decreed in highest perfection, in wisdom and love, so that God's creatures can live according to these laws and thus develop into perfect beings.

However, they must also be able to transgress these divine laws by virtue of their free will, because God places them before the decision. He does not influence the human being in any way against his will but even complies with his will by not turning away or withdrawing the human being's strength if he directs his will wrongly and wants to carry out something which completely contradicts God's will. Thus, He does not withdraw His strength but submits to people's will with His will.

And therefore things happen which are not in harmony with the eternal Deity, but even then His wisdom considers the effect of every event in such a way that they can also favour the upward development of the human soul. (4/27/1950) God does not touch the human being's free will, consequently He must also give him the opportunity to express himself and to be able to carry it out. And this always means the allocation of strength to works which do not necessarily agree with God's will.

But God's wisdom foresees all possibilities of a favourable effect for the human being's soul; and thus a will opposed to God can unintentionally contribute to a soul's spiritual ascent, only then this ascent is not attributed to the human being's wrong will but the latter has to answer to God for this wrong will, although a certain blessing has arisen from it in other ways. God directs all destinies, He gives His living creations freedom of will in their human stage, they will always be able to decide in favour of the good and are never compelled to act in opposition to God, yet their thoughts and actions are the same as their will, and their fate in the beyond and the degree of perfection resulting from their activity in earthly life will be correspondingly the same ....

Amen
