The last thing I recommend to you is courage. 

I want you to enter the battle with intrepidity [onverschrokkenheid, onversaagdheid]. The thing that an opposing army fears the most is to see courage, strength, the way in which one confronts the most dangerous fights, without fearing anything. 

So the demons are - there is nothing they fear more than a courageous soul, who all cleaving [vastgeklampt] to Me, with a strong spirit, goes into their midst. Not to be wounded, but with the firm resolve to wound them and to exterminate them. 

The demons are left frightened, terrified, and would rather flee. But they cannot, because they are bound by My Will, and they are forced to stay, to their greater torment. Therefore, do not fear them, for they can do nothing to you without My Will. 

And then, when I see that you can no longer resist and are about to fail, if you are faithful to Me, I will come immediately, I will put everyone to flight, and I will give you Grace and Strength. Courage, then, Courage.

So, this hard trial... 

though I don’t remember too well... 

lasted for three years. However, there were days or weeks of interval. It is not that they would cease completely, but they began to mitigate [milderen].

Finally... the cruelties of the demons ceased, and a whole New Life began, although the demons did not stop molesting me from time to time. However, it was not so frequent, the battle was not so fierce, and I became used to despising them.
