The Decision of the Soul

Message of the Holy Spirit of 23 May 1999

“I have spoken to you about the intimacy of your soul that God respects. There is an intimacy in good and an intimacy in evil according to your choice. However, you must know that God respects both of them and never forces you to do anything. I enlighten your intimacy, your innermost place, so that you become aware of what is not working properly in you. There are many mechanisms you do not understand, but I can show them to you if you entrust yourselves to Me. It is a moment of great grace when you recognise your misery and, at the same time, understand what to do to overcome sin, misery and darkness.

However, this is also the source of your suffering. When I place you before the truth, it is painful for you because you realise that you have to die to yourselves, that is, to your selfishness. Here the path divides in two directions: some decide for God and their suffering becomes purification, producing fruit and leading them to be reborn to new creatures; others refuse God and suffer when they face the truth. Yet, this pain is not purification but anger, refusal and aggressiveness. Even though they suffer like the others, they do not suffer for good but for evil, for having become enemies of God. Those who fight against God will experience suffering. It is not God causing their suffering, but the truth they refuse that screams in them.

If you knew how much those who consciously reject God suffer! Their soul screams because it wants to live the truth it senses within itself but cannot. You must understand that God has placed the seed of truth in you because you are children of God, created, redeemed and sanctified by Him. That seed can never be entirely suffocated; no matter how many times one attempts to do so, it will always spring up again. You have been created to live in the truth. Therefore, those who refuse God experience suffering, but also prevent themselves from growing. They refuse to change their lifestyle and to die to themselves – that is, they reject the Cross.

I can do nothing but show you the way; I cannot make the decisions for you. Therefore, people who ask God to convert the souls are wrong. Many blasphemies heard in the world arise from this: God does not convert the wicked; He does not change this or that person. God could do it because He is omnipotent, but He lets you free so that you may choose freely your path for better or for worse, accepting all the consequences that the choice entails. However, this does not only affect you but everyone because everything you say, do and think has repercussions on the entire humanity.
