Watch and pray .... God's protection against evil forces ....

B.D. No. 5297 January 16th 1952

I will hold you with a firm hand, I will guide you on the right path, I will always walk with you and not let any enemy approach you, I will always protect you from danger, for I do not want you to suffer harm, just as I do not want you to go astray. Nevertheless, you will always be besieged by forces which want to harm you, which are only waiting for you to let go of My hand for once, to walk the path without Me in order to then quickly push you away from Me in order to harm you. Hence you must always be on your guard but not against him, instead you must always make sure that you don't move away from Me, for as long as you are close to Me he cannot approach you, he cannot harm you as long as your gaze is turned towards Me. You need not fear him, no matter how cleverly he thinks he can use .... I have bestowed the gift of knowledge upon you who want to serve Me, and thus he will not be able to deceive you, even though he camouflages himself and tries to win you under a mask. I am with you and know what he intends, and I truly do not hand you over to his power. I only want to constantly warn and admonish you to keep watch and pray .... that you consciously unite with Me and call upon Me for protection and help if you believe yourselves to be in danger. He will not triumph over you, yet he can still cause you inner battles through temptations but you will always remain victorious as long as you stick to Me, as long as you never leave Me out of your thoughts and prayers .... Then you will take refuge in Me, then I will protect you and he will have to leave without having reached his aim. For I am the lord even over him who wants to oppress you .... and where I am, there his activity is in vain ....

Amen
