Battle Readiness
By Abdrushin
He who wishes to stand on the side
of the Light must be ready to fight.
”Fight against the darkness, - in
you and around you!”
This you have already been told.
With good reason “in you” takes the first place for it is the primary condition
for becoming a true fighter for the Light.
In yourselves
you must fight your weaknesses and faults, your wrong tendencies, your
inappropriate characteristics which you acquired on earth. You cannot enter
into service without being purified, - you would be hindered again and again in
the proper fulfillment of the task assigned.
To fight
against the darkness around you – means to always be aware of false promptings,
of dark influences beside you which you are only able to perceive inwardly for
they are not of a material nature. They include inner influences of fellow
human beings with whom you have voluntarily formed an inner association or
union. They often gain great influence on your actions through their self-will
to which you yield only too willingly. Only seldom is their self-will in
harmony with GOD’S laws. You are influenced by their thoughts and sentiments
which are certainly not always noble.
Become
vigilant in this regard and bear in mind that through all their weaknesses they
are often – without being aware – used by the darkness , they are encouraged,
urged, pushed, in order to pressure you and detract or weaken you in your work
for the Light!
Your firm
will, newly strengthened, can surmount this immediately, in an instant! Think
of the sword of good volition which you have heard about! You are able to chase
away entire troops of dark fighters who mean to harass you, if only you show
courage and steadfastness both of which are alien to the darkness. You,
however, have on your side countless light fighters for whom these are natural
ways to fight: they do not retreat, do not weakly yield where they must stand
according to GOD’s law. Learn from them!
Do you know
now how you must conduct the fight? By living faithfully according to the
declared Will of God, to stand in HIS Will on earth – not influenced by the
antagonist and his dark minions or by followers: weaklings among humans who
serve under his rule in order to block the victory of the Light.
You want to
be children of the Light, clad with the weapons of the Light: earnest good
volition, everlasting Love and readiness to serve, patience and perseverance,
absolute selflessness and dedication! JESUS
radiantly led the way for you! Follow HIM!
