Call to the big return
„As true as it is that there is a Lord God, there is also a Satan.“ (9/22/1950) With his clear words about the negative forces Bruno Gröning wanted to bring on neither fears, nor pave a way for religious fanaticism, but clear up the modern person and warn him about this negative force. The existence of evil powers was for him the cause of all negative developments on earth, as for example wars, epidemics, illnesses, the physical destruction and a lot of other things. „The fact that Satan rages here among people, is undeniable and must be pointed out.“ (9/19/1950) „Satan’s work has succeeded. His work is accomplished!“ (9/23/1950) „Satan, (...), has really faced (...) to entice; he has finally steered people off from the true, divine path. He has enticed them, he has lured them and has led humanity on the false path almost entirely.“ (9/26/1950) Above all Bruno Gröning spoke in connection to this about imperiousness and monetary addiction to which many are slaves of. Also he emphasized that striving for material things had discouraged many people from striving for God. „The negative force has done the utmost to human beings (...) to hinder them over and over again from recognizing and accepting (...) the good path.“ (12/26/1958)
He also explained how the Negative Forces achieves authority about a human being mainly over the thoughts. He indicated God as the good source of thoughts, Satan as the bad source. A human being need to check and prove always, where a thought comes from and whether it is worth to be taken up. Everybody should reject nasty thoughts consciously, like. e.g., thoughts of revenge, envy, greed, etc. And he warned again: „The evil force will oppose and will do all in addition, so that it cannot be removed.
And the negative force is very deceitful and knows how to creep up and sneak in everywhere. Therefore (12/4/1958) Bruno Gröning asked people to lead the fight against evil, i.e. to defend themselves internally against everything which they had already recognized as evil. Without fight there would be no victory, he stated.
Nowadays the unequivocal statement of Christ in the New Testament about the existence of a satanic power is interpreted by wide circles of liberal theologians, unfortunately, only as a time-conditioned false image. It does not seem to fit in the view of a sophisticated person. Therefore behind this attitude is hidden a big danger. Augustinus already said: „The power of the devil is the strongest where nobody does believe any more in him.“
Bruno Gröning was aware of that and, therefore, he called humanity for the big return: „Two masters, my dear friends, you cannot serve. Not on one hand the evil and on the other hand God. (...) you must put everything that you have felt as bad up till now in your life on earth, completely aside. You must turn your back on negativity; you must go the other path. And, hence, I call all of you to the big return! Go the way, which is determined to you by God - and to us all through Christ-. “ (12/4/1958)
