REMORSE OF SOULS WHO REFUSE DIVINE GIFTS OF GRACE

Souls, to whom I gave My Word but have refused to believe it as the voice of the Father, are in great need. Indeed they have the ability to recognize it but they lack the will to earnestly verify it. When these souls become enlightened their remorse will be exceedingly great that they did not use this precious gift of Grace from Me. Their self-reproach will cause them great suffering. Those to whom My gift of Grace is offered are to same extent called to a spiritual activity, be- cause I know the maturity of their souls and I want to help them to higher heights. As soon as they are willing to accept the Truth they are able to understand the Truth.

They are standing at the crossroad, to respond to the Everlasting Truth, or to be drawn to the world. Their own will determines which road they chose. Man can go either way, but if they choose the wrong road they have to give an account of such a decision. Souls understand this subconsciously even if their intellect denies it, therefore they are in great distress. There are great contradictions where the soul and intellect are in conflict. Happy is he if the soul can convince the intellect of its error before it is too late, that is, be fore the soul leaves its physical cover. But if it enters the spiritual realm in a state of darkness then the Light that should have enlightened it burns as a fire within it. It is in darkness through its own fault for fleeing the Light of My Love and Grace.

This awareness stays with it, even in its state of ignorance. He lives then in great pain longing for the great gift of Grace, which cannot be given again once it has been rejected. But they can be helped through the Light-beings although they do not appear as Light-carriers. The free will of the soul will once again be tested, but in another way. Again the soul stands at a crossroad to follow the Light- beings, who, although they are not recognized, are always near them to help, or to be obstinate and refuse their help.

Even men on Earth are not forced to accept the light, which is brought to them from above. So, in the spiritual realm the will of the soul decides what attitude it takes toward the offer of My everlasting Love to help them upwards. On Earth, man has a great gift of Grace in My Word, and will bring spiritual maturity to them. So it is irresponsible to ignore or reject My Word, which come to you from above.

It is understandable that the soul is greatly depressed because it ignored the sure way to reach Eternal life and now dwells in a pitiable condition in spiritual darkness and unhappiness. But it was their free will. Through their will they have created for themselves this regrettable condition. The soul must endure it, or in free will strive to change. It must accept each opportunity which My Love and Mercy created for it in order to ascend, after a long time, to higher spheres and enter the Kingdom of Light. It is your will that decides your lot in Eternity, your will can awaken your soul to Life, or cause spiritual death.

AMEN
