How is the power of evil enhanced?

Evil is there, waiting to strike, planning and contriving, in a way, which is unthinkable, but not beyond the Mind of God to grasp or circumvent. 

With those who wish to find God—even though the brambles tear and blind you to the way you have to go—the mere fact that, in your heart, you wish to find God ensures that, in very truth, the Saviour is by your side. 

This is the position in which you stand today—

Christ is by your side, but if you do not acknowledge it, then the power of evil is enhanced a hundredfold. 

Give them this privilege, and all you can do is this—

You can preserve the soul from damage, and, in time to come, you can heal up the wounds of heart and mind and body to a measure, but beyond that, during the physical stages, you cannot go. 

And here it is that sadness creeps in, and here it is that you suffer so and are caught up in distress.

The sorrows of the Crucified One! 

You must remember that God, having created the worlds and all that is in them, is not separated in any sense whatever from that which He brought into being.
