The work of dark forces .... opposite this process ....

B.D. No. 1785 January 25th 1941

Anyone who looks to the powers of darkness for an explanation for a process that is good spiritual work is under the compulsion of those very powers of darkness. Man gives those powers power over him through too weak faith. He offers little or no resistance and therefore the opposing power is strong. The endeavour of the latter is to enlarge his kingdom and where work is done for the salvation of erring souls, there the dark forces are particularly active in order to destroy the work of good forces. It takes a strong will to remain superior to those forces. And therefore the human being must fervently pray for God's grace, for the strength to resist and for the realization of what is right or wrong before God. The heavenly father sees the struggle of His earthly children and stands by them in their adversity if only they do not switch Him off and try to master the difficult situation with their own strength. The struggle between the good and the bad forces is tremendous at this time, for the opposing power is offering everything in order to gain control. However, countless beings of light are also close to earth and their work is equally unimaginable for people. They strengthen the will of God-focussed people so that they will not waver despite the greatest resistance .... (interruption)
