Autobiography of Bertha Dudde

At the request of many friends Bertha Dudde wrote the following biography in 1953:

I have been writing messages received through the inner Word since June 15, 1937. In answer to the many requests of my friends I will give you a picture of my earthly life, a short explanation of what I received spiritually, and my own feelings about all this.

I was born April 1, 1891, the second oldest daughter of an artist of Liegnitz in Silesia, today's Poland. I had a normally peaceful childhood, with six sisters in our parent’s home. I learned the cares of life at an early age. The desire to make money to help my parents made me learn the trade of a seamstress. As the financial needs of my parents continued, so did the burden, and in this way I made myself useful.

My parents belonged to different denominations. Father was a Protestant - Mother a Catholic. We children were brought up in the Catholic faith but never experienced pressure or force to follow the practices of the church so that each child in later years was able to pursue their own chosen course.

I myself was religious but could not accept the doctrine of the Catholic system although I respected the church. I could not represent something on the outside that my inner conscience had not accepted. So I did not continue to attend church, heard little preaching and had no knowledge of the Bible. I did not read any religious books or scientific literature and did not join any other group or religious sect.

Anyone knowing the Catholic teaching knows what a conscious struggle one finds himself in when he wants to release himself from it. I was not spared from this either. But the question as to what is the Truth and where it is to be found, remained.

Often when I prayed the Lord's Prayer I would beseech the Lord to allow me to find His kingdom. This prayer was answered in June 15, 1937, as I prayed quietly and waited for the inner voice. In this attitude I persisted often, for a wonderful peace came over me and thoughts which came to my heart, not my head, gave me comfort and strength.

Still I did not know that these thoughts were given to me until, in a strange dream I experienced something which later proved to be the Truth and caused me to write down these thoughts.

So on a certain day as I listened inwardly a stream of words came to me, which I wrote down. This was the first message I wrote which started like this: "In the beginning was the Word, 'a Te-Deum' to the Creator of Heaven and Earth."

Then came doubt, …. did you write this by yourself? In short, I have wrestled, prayed and gone through many struggles, but again and again the words came to me like a stream, a wisdom, which made me tremble. Then God Himself took away my doubts. He answered me and I acknowledged Him as our Father, in His Word. My faith grew, doubt diminished, and I received and wrote daily.

The contents of the writings were beyond my understanding. Phrases, which I had never heard of or read about, strange and scientific expressions and references continually came to me. Then came unheard of expressions of the Heavenly Father's Love giving refuge and providing enlightenment to all the questions of life.

The Words came to me in the following manner: After sincere prayer and a short period of composure I listened inwardly. Thoughts then followed coming to my mind, clearly, distinctly, and the words flowed smoothly always three or four, one after another, like writing a radio announcement or a weather report, slowly so that I could easily keep pace, writing line after line.

Now I write the words in shorthand as a dictation without having any constructive or intellectual part in it. I am in no way in a 'trance', nor do I even form the sentences, but it comes to me one word at a time, neither do I understand the context while I am writing the words down.

After days, sometimes weeks, I transcribe the shorthand writings into longhand without changing or correcting a syllable. Each dictation takes about half an hour. I must stress that this could not happen forcibly or in a state of ecstasy. It all takes place simply and consciously, without any excitement or influence of my own will. I can interrupt myself at any time and finish the sentence after hours or days without reading the previous writing the dictated words continue again.

My will is under no compulsion, all that I desire is to serve God and do what His will wants me to do.

I can truthfully say that I was led into this Truth, and these concepts were, in every respect, foreign to me. It was only after years that I found confirmation of what I received when I came to know the writings of Jacob Lorber. No one can imagine my joy when I discovered the literature of Jacob Lorber; ‘The Great Gospel of John’ and ‘The Youth of Christ’. Then I understood that other people were also given the Word of the Lord, that God had spoken to His children at all times and that God will continue to do this in His endless love and mercy.

I found in Lorber's writings the same as was given to me. I often could not understand the Word that came to me, but in His love the Heavenly Father gave me the explanation. How wonderful are the innumerable manifestations in which the Father displays His exceedingly great goodness.

It became clear to me that my limited education due to lack of money, and my lack of time to read good books or visit performances, became my advantage. I was now able to concentrate on my work from early morning to late at night, and each day I received that precious spiritual Word without knowing for whom I received it.

It is because of my ignorance of the Bible and the Catholic doctrine that I accepted the Word from above without resistance. In my experience, an earnest Catholic or Protestant whose knowledge is rooted in dogmatic theories is too much bound to dogma to accept and embrace divine revelations without resistance.

Still, there are scientists at several faculties who earnestly discuss these divine teachings with increasing interest. Their interest not only concerns the irrefutable explanation of the origin of matter and the possibility of its dissolution, but also the principle of the wrong teachings of different religions, systems and confessions. In the messages I received, these errors are recorded and everyone is urged to give instructions concerning these doctrinal errors whenever there is an opportunity. But everyone is free to take the Lord's Word to heart or not. But whoever understands the spirit in the Father's Word and does not act accordingly increases the distance between himself and the Father even more. When he does not follow the warning Words of love he puts himself inevitably under the law. He will also, in the same measure, lack in grace by disregarding God's commandment of love.

In God's grace people are led anew to the Gospel, which emphatically points out the purpose of man's being. For the merciful love of God seeks to save all who still can be saved before the turning point comes. And it will come. The end-time which seers and prophets have proclaimed is now here. According to the revelations given to me, the Lord does not differentiate between His children. ‘Come ye all to Me’ sounds His call and blessed is he who hears His call and follows Him. God loves His children. He wants to make them all happy, even when they do not want to know Him.

Blessed vineyard work .... housefather .... care ....

B.D. 6078 from October 14th 1954, taken from Book No. 66

You will carry out a blessed vineyard work with My support if you are willing to serve Me and to cooperate in the redemption of the souls before the end. The serious will for this cooperation is strength itself, for since I need servants who voluntarily enter My service and they are very rare, I also give the strength to the few to turn their will into action so that they will not become discouraged and withdraw from this cooperation again. And therefore they will want to serve Me ever more eagerly the more success they see in their activity. But towards the end they will not be able to speak of great successes .... but then they will already have become My co-workers who will never ever give up their service, for then they will also recognize the cause of people's resistance, they will know about the great spiritual darkness and about the time of the end, which will then become increasingly more obvious. But every one of you will be assigned his place of work, every one of you will be assigned a sphere of duty in which he should and also can work .... And his activity will not be in vain because in the end it is particularly urgent for his own and his fellow human beings' strengthening in faith. Only conscious divine service will give strength at this time, and the bond between people and the spiritual world must remain especially strong .... They must not switch Me off but remain closely connected to Me, and this attitude will also always result in a will to serve Me. The world with its demands will indeed approach you and require all your strength, all your resistance, yet you will not be able to achieve this without My support either; only with My help will you meet all requirements, only I can guide your earthly life into bearable channels .... only I can give you what you need to stand firm in the most difficult time of your life .... But you will stand firm who want to serve Me, for I truly reward you for your willingness to serve with a great supply of strength so that you can also face this time calmly and need not fear that you will fail .... Your householder truly takes good care of you as long as you, as faithful servants, are willing to help in great spiritual adversity ....

Amen

God's admonishing voice .... new epoch ....

B.D. 6079 from October 15th 1954, taken from Book No. 66

Do not let the voice of God go unheard in your ears, for a new era is dawning .... a new era which you can well experience if you pay attention to what God Himself says to you .... if you obey His voice and shape yourselves correctly, as the new era requires .... For only those people will dwell on earth in this new era who are in closest contact with God, Who will then also dwell on earth in the midst of His own. And this contact with God also requires a human being's constitution which allows for such a close bond. But you humans can still achieve this in this last time, for this is why God Himself speaks to you, so that you will see the necessity from His words and also draw the strength to transform yourselves into beings of love, without which life on the new earth is unthinkable. What you don't do by yourselves you should do when God puts it to your heart so forcefully and comprehensibly that you can be impressed by it if only you pay attention to His voice, if you let His words go to your heart and obey them. Hearing God's voice in the din of the world is conditional on your will, then it will sound in you directly, or you will listen with satisfaction when God speaks to you through His messengers .... you will recognize the father's voice Who is concerned about you and wants to help you find your way out of a state of death .... Who wants to make life accessible to you .... But you yourselves have to take the path which leads to life. And God shows you this path through His word .... He Himself instructs you, and His instructions are truly clear and unmistakable, and they can kindle a bright light in you if only you pay attention to them and don't let them fall on your ears. Whether you want to believe it or not .... the earth is entering a new developmental epoch, and in this epoch it will also be inhabited by people who, however, will have to be in a different state than you are on earth at present .... Yet a change is still possible for you, you yourselves can reach the degree which allows you to stay on the new earth, yet always only with God's help .... Therefore His voice sounds to you again and again and admonishes you to strive for this change of nature and to enter into such intimate contact with Him that you will become suitable to be transferred to this new earth when the hour has come .... For it is close at hand for you .... soon the time limit God has set for you humans on this earth will have expired, and soon the transformation of the earth will take place which will usher in a new era of development .... And everything that is unsuitable for the new earth will come to an end and be banished again into new forms according to its spiritual maturity .... Listen to the voice of God which admonishes and warns you so that you belong to those whom His will saves, whom He will transfer to the paradise of the new earth in the end ....

Amen

The adversary's influence of will .... Destructions ....

B.D. 6080 from October 16th 1954, taken from Book No. 66

It should suffice you to know that everything in My Creation proceeds according to My will .... Thus My adversary will not be able to affect Creation in some form or other, because he is only able to affect the spiritual being in possession of free will .... the human being .... but then he once again aims to influence the latter so that the human being himself will try to change works of creation in My adversary's favour. Thus, whatever the human being is able to accomplish may always be according to My will, but it may also correspond to My adversary's will, because the human being is influenced from both sides .... However, anything that lies outside the human being's sphere of authority can never be implemented by My adversary, it has to be entirely ascribed to My activity, because My adversary has lost all power over Creation, over the spiritual substance which is still bound. But precisely because of this, My adversary will exert all his influence to make people compliant into becoming destructively active, because this will release the bound spirits, which he believes he may take possession of again. This, too, will be impossible for him .... nevertheless, the released spiritual substance has an unfavourable effect on everything surrounding it because it has 'left the order' and therefore also creates disorder in its environment .... thus it can disrupt an existing natural law. So, indirectly it is indeed My adversary's work, yet always through the human will .... whilst My will alone is sufficient to re-establish the order and to work creatively and constructively in the whole of the universe. This, My adversary's impotence, will cause him to devise plans of a truly satanic nature .... by motivating people to destroy the globe .... yet with a view of different goals which impels them into intense activity.

Incapable of accomplishing destruction himself he will cleverly disguise it as a worthwhile utilisation of unfamiliar energies .... And he will find enough people on this earth to comply with his will and who therefore also receive strength from him for all kinds of discoveries and results. Although the subsequent natural disasters will only affect the creations which arose through My will, they nevertheless cannot be classed as a direct expression of Satan, but they will always be disruptions of order which were caused by human will even though they will be of immense significance in the spirits' phase of development .... both of those who have free will and those who are still in a bound state, for their course of development will be interrupted and thus will require My counteraction so that the disrupted order will be restored again .... so that the interrupted development can continue to proceed. My adversary's plan will certainly fail, for he will not regain the released spirits, yet he will have won the people who will have become enslaved by him .... the souls which were already further advanced .... but he will lose every entitlement over them through the forthcoming renewed banishment. My adversary's influence on the human being's free will is immense, yet he has no control over any created being apart from the human being .... He cannot implement anything once a person's will refuses to surrender to him .... And everything which is inaccessible to a human being, which human will cannot influence, is always My reign and activity in the universe and never My adversary's expression of power, who is stripped of all authority, but he will do whatever it takes to make the human will compliant in order to implement his plan through him .... and cause your downfall ....

Amen

Success at the end of an earth-period .... Scientists ....

B.D. 6081 from October 17th 1954, taken from Book No. 66

The end of a developmental period will always have come when people have left the divine order, in as much as they feel themselves entitled to intervene in God's plan of Creation because they don't believe in God as a creative power and deem themselves capable of controlling everything in existence themselves .... people certainly received the creative spirit as a birthright from God and can considerably increase this inheritance, with divine assistance they can also achieve the seemingly impossible and still remain within the divine order .... as long as they receive the strength for their creativity from God .... But they will instantly step out of this order if all their plans are purely worldly orientated .... if they set themselves apart from God as the creative power and thus conduct their experiments purely rationally .... if they use the divine creation itself as test objects and thereby turn themselves into henchmen of God's adversary whose objective it is to destroy divine creations. At the end of an earth period the world is always full of earthly wisdom .... Science believes to have found the key to all fields and the spiritual path will only rarely have been taken, which God has indicated in order to attain the right knowledge .... Without Him, however, all paths are dangerous, without Him the results are doubtful and people more or less enter danger zones, because they are guided by the one who does not want progress but destruction .... who lets people believe that they are constructively active while they are digging their own graves .... and contribute towards the ruin of the old earth. For the apparently scientific progress is his work, the work of God's adversary, he impels people into extreme intellectual activity without divine support. They will harness natural forces yet in a different way than is intended by God's will .... They will leave the divine order and the consequences of this will reveal themselves .... God, however, has foreseen humanity's will and activity since the beginning and therefore keeps referring to what will come to pass time and again, for He knows when and where the consequences of human thought and activity will express themselves .... He informs people about their wrong thinking and wants to persuade them to entrust themselves to that power which stands above everything .... He wants to warn them of His adversary's influence .... He wants to advise them to remain within the divine order .... He considers those who acknowledge Him as God and Creator of eternity and enlightens them about Himself and His opposing power ....

Amen

Value of spiritual and earthly knowledge ....

B.D. 6082 from October 18th 1954, taken from Book No. 66

It is extensive knowledge which can be conveyed to you spiritually .... it is knowledge which you humans alone, intellectually, will never be able to gain, for it gives you information about questions which no human being who has not been spiritually instructed again could answer. But you humans may also ask questions about everything .... You will receive answers if you choose the spiritual path .... if you ask God Himself to instruct you. But knowledge must always be a blessing for you; it must help your soul to mature .... God Himself will provide you with everything that helps the soul to do so, as soon as you request it, and everything that provides information about the creator's connection with His living creations, about the meaning and purpose of creation and about God and the creator of eternity will help the soul to mature .... So it is always spiritual areas which are made accessible to you humans when the knowledge of 'truth' is supplied to you. This fact should at the same time be an indication to you that earthly knowledge only has an illusory value, that it should not be overestimated or striven for more desirably at the expense of spiritual knowledge, for it does not bring the soul one step forward in its development. It can certainly also have a beneficial effect on the human being's time on earth, namely when a spiritually striving person places his earthly knowledge at the service of his fellow human beings, when he sees his earthly task in helping his fellow human beings and therefore acquires earthly knowledge without, however, forgetting God .... but to put Him before all his studies. He will truly be blessed spiritually and earthly .... earthly knowledge will be added to him because he strives for spiritual things first. Nevertheless, he will be far more delighted with the thoughts imparted to him from the world of the spirit, for they direct his gaze into eternity .... It lets him recognize his purpose of earthly life, and therefore he creates far more for the spiritual than for the earthly world .... and yet he also works to bless this world. Entrust yourselves to them for they can give you much .... But people who only live in the world and are distant from spiritual experience are like dead, fruitless trees which are unable to give anything that can bring salvation to their fellow human beings .... even though they possess worldly knowledge in abundance .... They are transient goods, without value, because they perish with the death of the human being, whereas spiritual goods, spiritual knowledge, will remain for eternity and signify light and knowledge for the soul, which will make it happy forever ....

Amen

Struggle of faith .... deny God .... end ....

B.D. 6083 from October 19th 1954, taken from Book No. 66

The time is approaching when you will be faced with the decision to confess Me and My name before the world .... And this will take place in such a way that you will all be appalled by the brutality of people who are in bondage to My adversary .... which is expressed by the fact that they obviously take action against Me. The form of the battle of faith you have to expect is hardly conceivable to you now because the earth has not experienced anything like it since its existence .... For at all times there was a belief amongst people in a higher being to Whom people were subordinate. And this being was worshipped, even though people usually had a wrong idea of this being and thus a kind of polytheism developed .... but people always gave honour to one 'god'. And the question of dispute was always which of the many gods was the right god, if only one god was to be accepted .... But the battle that will now break out is about the complete eradication of the doctrines of faith .... in a being that is only recognized through faith .... This belief in a higher being is to be eradicated .... The belief in itself is considered to be detrimental to humanity and is therefore fought against with all severity .... One tries to scientifically explain and justify everything in creation, but to eliminate a creating power .... i.e. to deny it completely .... They want to create a different level of thought for people, and so they are rigorously demanded to give up all previous thinking and knowledge and to affirm this openly before their fellow human beings .... Thus My adversary, who only uses people to achieve his aim of ousting Me from people's hearts, is clearly and unequivocally declaring war on Me Myself .... It is not about the victory of one school of thought over the other, it is not about reforming a doctrine .... It is only about faith in Me, Who must be acknowledged as saviour Jesus Christ if you humans want to become blessed. And you should now deny Me, you should decide for Me or for My adversary .... This demand will be made of you humans and you should now resist it. You shall openly confess for Me .... you should fearlessly side with Me and thereby provide the evidence that you belong to My own who will remain faithful to Me until the end and whom I will fetch in utmost adversity. This is the end when My adversary will obviously take action against Me. Then the hour of judgment has come, for then he exceeds the limits of his authority and then I intervene and imprison him .... Then My might and power and glory come forth and exact retribution according to law and justice ....

Amen

Serious Words from the heavenly Father .... Physician .... Medicine ....

B.D. 6084 from October 20th 1954, taken from Book No. 66

What I administer is a truly beneficial medicine for your soul which enables its recovery and makes it suitable for eternal life in beatitude. Yet what good is it to you if you don't use it, if you indeed know its healing power but don't utilise it .... what is the use of listening to My Word if you don't live accordingly .... if therefore the strength of My Word cannot take effect on you? You have a most effective means of healing but don't put its effectiveness to the test; you seek advice from Me as your soul's physician but don't follow My instructions and thus cannot get better although you are under the care of a good physician .... You don't want to live up to My advice and therefore remain in a miserable state, and your soul's hardship remains undiminished .... it has to suffer because you deny it help. And the soul's suffering results in earthly adversity, for thereby I want you to think about the fact that your way of life is wrong, that it puts your soul at risk and that it ought to beware not it lose its life ....

Yet I can only ever offer you what will help your soul .... If it doesn't accept My medicine it will remain sick and in a wretched state and unable to enjoy the spiritual life .... This is why hearing My Word will not benefit you greatly as long as you don't make any effort to live accordingly .... for you will only receive strength when you put My Word into practise by fulfilling My commandments of love. Only when you carry out deeds of love on earth will you be permeated by My strength of love yourselves, and that also signifies your soul's recovery, it signifies a state of life in strength and light .... I would like all of you to attain this and therefore seriously admonish you to take My Words to heart and act accordingly .... I caution you not to treat your soul's life carelessly but to straight away provide it with the strength it needs to get well again .... I exhort you to ask Me for help if you are unable, if you are too weak, to accomplish your will .... I will provide you with the strength if only you turn to Me with complete confidence, if you call upon Me with your heart and confess your weakness .... For I Am always your Physician and Helper Who will never leave you at the mercy of your fate but wants to save those who are ailing in body and soul ....

Amen

God's help towards attaining beatitude .... Free will ....

B.D. 6085 from October 21st 1954, taken from Book No. 66

After all, I only want to help you attain beatitude .... and because I see that you humans are taking wrong paths I approach you in order to put you right. Nevertheless, I can only show you the right way and only admonish you to take it, but then your will must agree to follow My advice .... But this will of yours is weak and fickle, for as soon as someone comes your way enticing you to walk with him you no longer remember My Words and join the tempter, you follow the one who leads you away from the right goal. The human being's conduct is influenced from both sides but he himself decides according to his will. This is why I, apart from My Words which urge people to make the right decision, also have to send hardship and misery upon a person to prevent him from following the tempter .... making it impossible for him to go along with him .... but this does not yet mean with certainty that he will follow Me; he can also remain inactive by the wayside and precious time can pass by which he could have used to move on ....

Yet this, too, is up to his free will which must not be infringed upon. No matter where he stays .... My love will not leave and always have an effect on him, and no person will be able to say that I have not crossed his path and time and again brought him My Word which shall help him to use his will in the right direction. Time after time people will be addressed by Me, and especially during earthly adversity I reveal Myself as a loving Father Who grants His children's prayers .... And therefore it is certainly possible for them to comply with My Word and thus take the right path towards ascent .... to recognise the worthlessness of the enticement presented to them by the tempter .... and to subsequently choose Me as their leader Whom they gladly follow and with Whose help they will reach the goal .... My sole intention is to make you happy but your will must also accept it because I cannot force you into beatitude .... otherwise you would already be blessed creatures yet without freedom of will .... thus you would act in the law of compulsion and that excludes perfection. You, however, shall shape yourselves voluntarily into My children .... only then will you be able to be and remain blissfully happy forever ....

Amen

Earthly task: Fulfilment of the commandments of love ....

B.D. 6086 from October 22nd 1954, taken from Book No. 66

Every one of you was given a task, and every one fulfils it according to his will, for every human being's will is free. But to know your task is a prerequisite, and this knowledge is conveyed to you through My Word .... which subsequently can indeed be heard and adhered to but also be dismissed .... the consequences of which, however, you will have to bear yourselves. Anyone who complies with the requirements of My Word fulfils My will, hence also his earthly task, and therefore this person can also speak of spiritual progress. Yet even the earthly-minded person should know that one day he will have to be answerable for his failure .... that he was not offered the Word as a message of My will without reason .... that he must also heed it if he wants to fulfil his earthly task .... He must know that his life will not last forever and that he ought to utilise his short life on earth for eternity. And to utilise it means to first fulfil My commandments of love .... by doing so he will then become worthy of My love and receive the strength to improve his soul .... to accomplish the psychological work which is the purpose of his earthly existence. Every one who endeavours to live in love will also know that he was not placed on earth arbitrarily or without reason but that this is connected to the attainment of a goal, and he will sincerely strive towards this goal .... towards unity with Me ....

However, anyone who disregards love, who only tries to achieve for his own advantage, closes his own entrance into eternal life .... for he lacks love, which alone is the key to happiness. He also lacks realisation, he doesn't know anything about the meaning and purpose of his earthly existence nor does he accept an explanation about it. Fulfilment of My commandments of love for God and ones neighbour will assure that the human being gains realisation, and anyone who uses My commandments as a guiding principle for his life on earth will have to become enlightened. He cannot go astray; his path will infallibly lead into the spheres of eternal bliss, for he utterly submits himself to My will, he leads his life within My eternal order, he is in constant contact with Me and therefore receives strength in abundance. And he, in turn, will only use this strength for implementing deeds of love again, for he will be impelled to do so by My spirit which is in direct contact with Me and unable to influence him in any other way than in a good way .... Thus he will fulfil his earthly task by trying to integrate himself as well as his fellow human beings with the eternal order, by trying to establish the eternal order within himself and, in line with his realisation, also help his fellow human beings to submit themselves to Me and My will, so that that they, too, will establish this contact with Me and achieve the purpose of their earthly lives ....

Original sin .... Emanation of love .... Jesus Christ ....

B.D. 6087 from October 23rd 1954, taken from Book No. 66

The first sin of rebellion against Me resulted in My living creations' vast distance from Me, since with their rejection of Me they also rejected My strength of love, they left the circuit of My flow of love and constantly distanced themselves ever more from Me. Hence resistance to Me is the same as rejecting My strength of love, which is why no human being who still inwardly opposes Me can be permeated by My strength of love. And it can already be considered an opposition if he does not believe in Me and therefore has no contact with Me. Then he will stand outside the circuit of My flow of love .... he will be unable to feel My love because he does not voluntarily become receptive to it and is unwilling to establish contact with Me. Not to acknowledge Me means to be entirely subject to the one who once rebelled against Me and thereby became My opponent .... And his plan is to so influence all living creations that they will likewise deem Me non-existent, that they won't believe in a Being Which created them and desires to have a connection with them. But this non-acknowledgment also results in utter lack of strength and darkness of thoughts .... Light and strength are only available from Me .... and they scorn light and strength because they scorn the Giver of light and strength .... because they have no faith in the primary source of light and strength from whence they, too, had emerged ....

However, to the same extent as they reject this primary source they incapacitate themselves from being nourished by this primary source, and thus they remain lightless and weak until they strive towards this source in free will .... until they acknowledge the Power Who created them and thus voluntarily open themselves in order to be supplied with the divine strength of love .... until they unite themselves with the Giver of light and strength. And then they will receive without measure what they need in order to become blessed .... in order to enter the original state again which they once left voluntarily. Every person who turns to Me shall receive abundantly, for My love will never expend itself .... it forever wants to give and delight and merely requires open vessels into which it can flow. And as soon as the sincere will has awakened in a person to enter into contact with the Power Which created him he will separate himself from the original sin, the rebellion against me, and he will safely reach the goal with the help of the divine Redeemer Jesus Christ, Who shed His blood for the sake of this immense original sin .... Who infinitely suffered and died on the cross in order to acquire a treasure of grace for the weakened human race .... a strengthening of will and the realisation of their guilt .... Now every person will be able to reduce the vast distance from Me, every person can find forgiveness for the immense guilt of the past rebellion against Me; every human being can enter the circuit of My flow of love again and receive light and strength in abundance .... if he makes use of the many blessings which are at his disposal as a result of Jesus Christ's act of Salvation .... if he acknowledges Me since I, as Jesus the man, removed the guilt for you through My death on the cross ....

Amen

Jesus had prior knowledge of His act ....

B.D. 6088 from October 24th 1954, taken from Book No. 66

I wanted to suffer on your behalf and therefore consciously prepared Myself for dying on the cross .... I was aware of the exceedingly arduous path of suffering I had to take in order to redeem you from adversity and death .... I foresaw everything, nothing I had to endure was hidden from Me, and yet, I walked towards it .... I did not defend Myself, I did not escape the danger but consciously approached it. I not only foresaw the sequence of My act of Salvation, I foresaw the weakness and bondage which kept My living creations down in immense adversity and to whom I could only bring deliverance through My suffering and death on the cross ....

Everything stood brightly and clearly before My spiritual eye, the brutal power of My adversary, the fallen beings' abysmal distance from God which constantly increased .... I saw pitch-black darkness on one side and brightest light and happiness on the other .... I had come from the light and also wanted to carry it into the darkness, yet this necessitated a bridge, I had to offer something in exchange in order to be entitled to lift the tormented souls out of the abyss into the light .... I had to use My life in order to buy life for the wretched creatures. The path of self-sacrifice was the only option .... the sacrifice of the highest good I possessed .... My life, for the sake of love for those who were dead as the consequence of sin. I had to pay for their life with My life ....

Everything stood brightly and clearly before My eyes, for this reason I already suffered dreadfully before, because, being human, I was created with the same emotions as you .... with the fear of death, of the appalling suffering and of Myself, that I might get exhausted, that My strength might not be enough and that My fallen brothers would have to remain in the great adversity were I to fail ....

However, the nearer the day of the happening came the more My strength grew .... My strength grew like My love for the wretched human race, whose hardship I recognised every day more .... And even though I was sporadically seized by weakness in view of what was ahead of Me, My will nevertheless did not weaken to finish the work which I had started .... For the human part of Me kept in contact with the Father at all times, Who permeated Me with strength so that My love became increasingly more powerful and I finally died fully consciously, because I also realised that death had to be overcome and that this was My task as well ....

The path to the cross was bitter and excruciating, for I had to go through profound darkness in order to open the gate into the kingdom of light for all those who wanted to ascend from the abyss into the light .... However, as a human being I had to endure the most bitter suffering and torment in order to help you, who, without My act of Salvation, without My death on the cross, would have been irretrievably lost .... This is why My earthly existence as a human was so tremendously sorrowful, for from the moment the Father had revealed Himself in My physical shell I was also aware of everything that awaited Me, and yet I voluntarily walked the path to the cross, for not the Father's will but My love for the fallen beings impelled Me to accomplish the act of Salvation, and this love gave Me the strength to persevere until the hour of death ....

Amen

Fighting with the sword of the tongue ....

B.D. 6089 from October 25th 1954, taken from Book No. 66

What you shall say will be given to you in that hour .... These are the Words I spoke on earth in anticipation of the adversity you will experience before the end when you will have to be answerable to the earthly authority, when you have to justify your thoughts and actions and you are required to renounce Me .... Then don't be alarmed and don't anxiously consider what you shall say, but say frankly and courageously what is given to you to say .... For My spirit will intervene and I will place the Words into your mouth, well-judged for those who ask you to speak. I will help all those who want to remain faithful to Me and give them the strength to offer resistance. And all fear will disappear; you will feel Me and be full of confidence that I won't abandon you in this crisis .... You will not fear those who threaten you because you know that One is stronger than those and that this One is on your side and truly will let no injustice happen to you. However, you will have to fight with the sword of your tongue .... You will have to refute all objections and also be able to do so because it is no longer you who will speak, but I Myself will speak through you and My Words will truly have the desired effect. For it is necessary that they, too, have to be made to think, as even amongst these there are still weak and undecided people who will then have reached a crossroad and will not know which way to turn. The path shall be pointed out to them; if they take it they can be considered blessed, but if they disregard it they will hardly be given the grace again to be spoken to by a leader who tries to guide them correctly. During this time there will be no other way but to fight with the sword of the tongue, and the more convincingly My representatives on earth speak, the more antagonistic people they will win over. And thus it is My will that you should then closely unite with Me so that I Myself can speak through you to those I still want to gain. I know that the time will come when the worst comes to the worst, when you will be put under extreme pressure and thus will have to justify yourselves .... but then remember My Words that you should not anxiously ask what you shall say, but hand yourselves over with complete confidence to Me and My working .... And you will speak with wisdom, so that not one of your opponents will be able to reply to it .... You, who want to serve Me, have no enemy to fear, for you fight for Me and by My side, and I will truly also lead you to victory ....

Amen

Divine spark .... Correct relationship with God ....

B.D. 6090 from October 26th 1954, taken from Book No. 66

You all carry the divine spark within you which wants to guide you on your earthly path of life providing you allow it to do so and enable it to express itself and instruct you. No human being has to rely on himself; everyone may expect My support; everyone only needs to make contact with Me and I will influence the person through My spirit .... Although you are inseparably connected to Me from the start precisely because of this very spiritual spark you shelter within and which is part of the Father-Spirit .... thus it always stays connected with Me .... it nevertheless remains silent in you as long as you don't consciously hand yourselves over to its guidance .... as long as you still keep yourselves isolated from Me in thoughts as well as in your nature. And thus it is up to you as to whether you feel that you are part of Me, whether you let yourselves be guided and advised .... It is up to you as to whether you establish the right relationship with Me .... the relationship of a child to its Father .... or of the living creation to its God and Creator. The acknowledgement alone that you are subject to Me as your Creator of eternity is already a step of coming closer to Me .... which will also surely lead you to the point that you will recognise and strive towards Me as your Father one day. Then you will allow My spiritual spark in you to influence you, to warn and admonish you to refrain from evil and to do what is good. Once you acknowledge Me I will be able to speak to you through the spirit. My Words will become ever more loving, the influence of God's spirit will generate ever more love the more you recognise your Father in Me and then, as My children, also obediently abide by the inner voice, which will truly only ever instruct you to your benefit. The connection with Me will remain always and forever, but it will depend on you as to whether you become conscious of it. As soon as your thoughts rise up to Me in prayer you will consciously establish the connection with Me, enabling Me to influence you through My spirit. And so, no human being is isolated from Me in Creation unless he prefers this isolation; if he turns away from Me by himself, if he believes himself to have no connection with the Power Which created him, then he is indeed isolated and will not be influenced by Me either .... Then the indwelling divine spark will rest dormant in him, it will not express itself in any way, neither will the human being's free will be infringed upon, the person's attitude towards Me will not be imposed on him .... he must establish the bond with Me of his own accord if he wants to experience the blessing of such a bond which, however, will irrevocably lead to perfection ....

Amen

No postponement of the end .... signs and wonders ....

B.D. 6091 from October 27th 1954, taken from Book No. 66

Do not expect a postponement of the judgment, for the time has come which I have set as the end of this redemption period, and therefore the predictions I sent to you humans through seers and prophets must now come true at any time. The time has come when I will hold court to separate the good from the evil, the righteous from the unrighteous .... And you can all very well recognize by the signs of the times which hour the world clock has struck .... You all only need to pay attention to the events of time which I announced to you as sure signs .... For the day and hour of the end is never announced, yet all circumstances are mentioned which accompany the approaching end. But only the seeing will take notice of such, for the blind in spirit pass by unimpressed by everything that should remind them of the end .... But the signs will increase and soon become so obvious that many people will wonder about their meaning. For nature will change as will its laws .... and no purely earthly explanation will be found for it. But I will make sure that these signs are mentioned .... I will also draw the thoughts of those to it who do not want to accept spiritual connections with all earthly phenomena .... And they shall, if they are willing, be able to observe extraordinary interactions which give them food for thought. But every person who seriously starts to think about such phenomena will be blessed, for he will be introduced to an area which he had previously tried to deny .... For the time being he will play with the possibility of a spiritual connection and become more and more familiar with the thought that the world is facing a turning point, even if it is not completely comprehensible to him. But he can still come to an understanding, and his path can henceforth lead upwards. I still approach every individual, and I help every individual to full understanding who only desires this .... For this is why I still let signs and miracles happen so that the human being will think about it and I can then mentally instruct him according to his desire for truth .... And light shall become to him who desires light ....

Amen

Blessing of the divine word on earth and in the beyond ....

B.D. 6092 from October 28th 1954, taken from Book No. 66

An unimagined blessing flows from the pure word of God to everyone who listens to it and evaluates it as His word. People often lack the ability to judge, they listen to it and do not recognize its great value for their souls. And because they therefore don't follow it either, because they don't act according to the divine word, they cannot feel any blessing either, even though it contains divine strength .... Yet the once spoken word of God is a source of strength for all who faithfully accept it in their hearts on earth or in the kingdom of the beyond. The souls which open themselves to the word of God will receive strength and light, because the word is strength and light in itself. And this effect is particularly felt by the souls in the kingdom of the beyond who are still without light and strength when they are touched by the divine word .... or also .... when they willingly allow themselves to be touched by it .... for the word of God is visible to the souls who still dwell in darkness as sparks of light to which they must now voluntarily turn in order to then also feel the benefit of light and strength. The word of God constantly sounds in the spiritual kingdom .... yet it is only recognized and felt when the souls are willing to be addressed by God .... when they desire knowledge, strength, in order to utilize it in God's will .... Since God constantly emanates His love into infinity, His holy word will therefore also constantly resound but only be heard when His living creations want to hear it. For God's love does not force itself upon any being but is always ready to be illuminated. And God's word is the emanation of His love, which therefore has to signify an immeasurable blessing for all spiritual beings which open themselves to His emanation of love .... On earth the beneficial effect of the divine word is not so obvious but it is gratefully recognized by everyone who receives it with his heart and acts accordingly .... But in the beyond there is light where the divine word resounds .... And these sources of light are the gathering point of countless beings who hunger for the word of God, who accept it gratefully and joyfully and thereby increase their abundance of light and strength, because the word of God stimulates them into loving activity and the souls in the beyond follow such stimuli exceedingly willingly but which are little heeded on earth. Earthly inhabitants have much light and strength at their disposal, yet they pass it by .... But in the spiritual world the light is sought, and where it shines the souls' will of love is so stimulated that they also want to convey the light to the darkness and therefore redemption work is continuously carried out .... to also lead the souls from darkness to light .... And the beings' activity will not diminish because ever new strength and ever brighter light will flow towards them, which will impel them to increase their activity of love .... This effect of light and strength can also be felt on earth, but only when people consciously request this address from God .... For then God reveals Himself and shines His divine light of love into the human heart, who then also feels God's blessing and is grateful to Him for imparting light and strength to him .... the right realization and a strong faith ....

Amen

God's will and work on His servants ....

B.D. 6093 from October 30th 1954, taken from Book No. 66

I truly know from eternity what serves My living creations for perfection. And since it is My aim to bring everyone to the highest possible perfection, I will influence them to achieve My aim without coercing the human being's free will. Thus everything that happens on My part is beneficial for the human being's development .... Only what happens on your part can stop or even endanger this development, because I respect free will. However, everything is included in My eternal plan of salvation, and where free will is negatively active, forces are at work again which work for Me and straighten out what the human being's will has bent. (10/30/1954) I certainly have to give the human being free rein in his thinking and wanting, and therefore My counteraction must not be obvious that the human being feels compelled to change his will, for this would not be to his advantage .... Yet My love and wisdom directs everything correctly .... But anyone who is to fulfil a task for Me and My kingdom is especially taken care of by Me, since his will gives Me the right to be manifestly active. And then I instruct My messengers and otherworldly guides to exercise their office in particular, and then all events in the person's life approach him such that they serve his perfection. Once a person's will has decided in favour of Me, he can certainly still slip into weakness at times, yet his striving will always be directed upwards, I will remain his aim until the end of his life. And therefore I will always be able to stretch My hands towards him, which he will use to lift himself up if he has fallen. For as long as he lives on earth the opposing force is also constantly active to pull him back into the abyss, but it will not succeed because positive forces are also involved to hold the soul and protect it from falling into the abyss. For where the will has once decided for Me there My adversary has lost his power. And thus a soul's ascent certainly means constant struggling which, however, is not unsuccessful, even if at times the soul is afflicted by weakness .... again and again it will be strengthened by abundant influxes of grace, and ever further it will distance itself from the enemy and turn towards Me, for the soul has recognized Me and will eternally keep Me as its aim, and it will also reach the aim and unite with Me for time and eternity ....

Amen

Unfathomable being of God ....

B.D. 6094 from October 31th 1954, taken from Book No. 66

You will never be able to fathom Me .... And yet you can unite with Me in the closest possible way .... I stand infinitely far above you in My perfection and yet I lower Myself to the tiniest creature in order to draw it up to Me. You, who are still imperfect, are only able to imagine the limited, yet you lack all understanding for the unlimited. You cannot imagine the universe and even less can you think that I fill everything with My strength, which exists in infinity .... you cannot imagine that My being is unlimited and therefore can never be thought of as a form .... but that nevertheless every one of you can unite with Me, that he can speak to Me and be heard by Me .... For I am everything .... I am in everything and consequently again very close to you, so that you can speak of My presence when you yourselves desire to be close to Me .... For you could not be if you were not permeated by Me Myself, thus your very existence is proof of the being Which called you into life. You are sparks of the infinite fire of My love .... you are stations of strength fed from the centre of power .... you are emanations of My Self .... You are the same in your original substance that I am in full measure, which is why I will always and forever be inaccessible to you and yet always and forever intimately united with you.

You are still unable to grasp the concept of 'infinity' as long as you are only able to grasp limited things in your imperfection .... But you drew this line yourselves when you once fell away from Me, because this is a sign of imperfection that you are no longer able to grasp the unlimited. Nevertheless, you are not separated from Me, but because My share from eternity is constantly flooded with My strength, you are not separated from Me, but because My share from eternity .... is constantly flooded with My strength, without which you would cease to be. But you can reach the state of perfection again and then also recognize Me as the exit .... you can continuously strive towards Me, come ever closer to Me. Yet the being will never reach Me, only unite with Me in immeasurable bliss .... nevertheless, in the feeling of an individual being it will never cease to strive towards Me, Who stands immeasurably high above everything and moves the perfect towards constantly deeper love, the fulfilment and granting of which consists of eternal bliss. I will be eternally unattainable and in turn eternally bestow the most intimate fatherly love upon My creatures, I will prepare eternal happiness for My children and also be recognized and loved by them as father .... Yet My being will remain unfathomable for everything that has emerged from My hand, even though it has entered into the most intimate union with Me through love .... For unlimited is My power and glory, unlimited is the light and strength .... I am the source from Whom all life flows .... I am the primal centre, Which is always and forever unfathomable and yet will always and forever remain the aim of that which took its origin from Him ....

Amen

Radiance with love power .... resistance ....

B.D. 6095 from November 1st 1954, taken from Book No. 66

My love is eternal and there is nothing that does not have My love as its origin. Therefore, what has emerged from My love can never ever pass away; but neither can it be without My love. But since beings emerged from Me which, like Me, have free will, these beings can indeed reject My love .... but they nevertheless have to make use of it in order to be able to exist. My strength of love must constantly permeate what I have created or it would cease to exist. But what My love once allowed to come into being will never ever let go again .... And thus the beings which reject My love are also nourished by My strength of love, except that they forfeit their own bliss through their will of rejection, which is connected with the gift of My strength of love .... They will not feel this bliss as long as they willfully oppose Me, as long as they do not voluntarily open themselves to receive My flow of strength of love. But My love lasts forever .... And it is not satisfied with the rejecting attitude of the created by it .... For My love wants to make happy, to make infinitely blissful what has emerged from it. And thus again and againit offers itself to the creatures which turn away from it .... it seeks to regain what was lost to it .... It courts the love of those who strive away from Me until one day those who strive away from Me turn to Me again of their own free will in order to be able to be permeated by increased strength of love and to be and remain blissfully happy .... This is a process of change which often takes an infinitely long time, because everything that is created freely must also remain free in its will, thinking and actions and because this transformation can only be tackled and achieved with love .... because it is up to the being itself how it attunes itself to My working of love, and because it is also strongly influenced by the adversary and this influence, too, can only be countered with love from My side. Yet My love lasts forever .... I indisputably win back that which still resists Me, and for Me the duration of time until My aim is reached is like a moment .... but for the created being, which still rejects Me, this time of rejection of My strength of love signifies an ungodly state, a state of imperfection and therefore also unhappiness .... because only My love can bestow beatitude, and if this is rejected the being will be in an unhappy state until it gives up its resistance against Me. My love will do everything to snatch the being from this wretched state but it still leaves it free will, so that it depends on the being itself whether it finally surrenders to My love. And in order for it to relinquish its resistance I will show it love wherever it is possible while respecting its free will. I do not lack revelation on My part so that My living creations will recognize and learn to love Me and now voluntarily turn to Me. Even if it takes eternities I will reach My aim .... because My love never ends and the strength of My love is also able to melt the hardest ice and because My love applies to everything that has emerged from Me ....

Amen

Earthwalking, act of grace .... return to God ....

B.D. 6096 from November 2nd 1954, taken from Book No. 66

It is an immeasurable act of grace by God that you are allowed to live on this earth as a human being, for you have an undeserved opportunity to regain possession of the light and strength you once voluntarily relinquished. Your sin against eternal love was so immense that eternal damnation would have been the just punishment for it, for you rebelled against the highest and most perfect being to Whom you owed your existence, Whose greater than great love called you into being. You rejected this love .... you showed enmity towards Him Who only gave you unlimited love. And thereby you created a gulf between Him and you which could never be bridged by you, and thus your fate would have been eternal separation from God, which is equal to eternal damnation in darkness and torment ....

But God's love did not give up on you .... it found ways and means to reduce the distance between Him and you in order to guide you to Himself again. And this also includes earthly life as a human being, which is therefore a special act of grace by God, because without your own merit you were guided onto a path which leads directly back to God if you live it in accordance with God's will .... if you subordinate your will to God's will for the duration of your earthly life. All memory of your fall is taken from you .... As independent beings you are only confronted with one decision: to want, to think and to act good or bad .... You are sinful because of your former rebellion against God .... but you can make up for this sin, you can become free of it, if you do not oppose God during your life on earth but consciously turn to Him .... if your will is good .... Then your walk on earth will also be good, it will correspond to God's will, and you will have passed the test of will .... you have confessed God to Whom you once stood in enmity.

God's greater than great love created this opportunity for you to return to Him again in order to be able to receive light and strength in abundance and to attain your original state again. It is an act of grace of which you can only make yourselves worthy by making use of it, by allowing His infinite love to take effect on you and reciprocating it through your complete submission .... for you would never accomplish the return to Him of your own strength, and only this undeserved grace of embodiment as a human being can make the return to God possible, which therefore cannot be valued highly enough and which is only properly recognized when the soul is in the state of light and strength again .... Only then does it recognize what it was, what it is and what it is yet to become .... Only then will it also recognize God's infinite love, which it once resisted, and then it will love Him with all intimacy and also find its beatitude in this love ....

Amen

Increased activity in the vineyard of the lord commanded ....

B.D. 6097 from November 3rd 1954, taken from Book No. 66

With increased strength it is now necessary to be active in the vineyard of the lord, for the time is only short until the end. You who know God's eternal plan of salvation, who are able to inform your fellow human beings of it .... you should not miss any opportunity to pass on your knowledge to your fellow human beings. You should explain to them that they do not only live on this earth for the sake of their earthly life, that a reason and purpose is undeniable .... Explain to them why and for what purpose they stay on earth, and make them understand that they alone must see this purpose in the transformation of their being into love .... but that they have also done everything if they shape themselves into love .... but without love they will be lost for eternity. They will not believe you, they will perhaps only listen to you unwillingly but they will still think about it from time to time and perhaps also come to realization. Therefore every opportunity should be used, because you only have a short time left until the end .... Only the seeing can guide the blind, only the knowing can instruct the ignorant .... You belong to those who know, and therefore you should transfer your knowledge to your fellow human beings, even though they will only acknowledge it with good will and will also not understand it until they seriously strive for the truth. For you there will indeed be more closed doors than open ones .... Not many will listen to you, for this, too, is a sign of the end, that you will feel completely aloof, that you will not be acknowledged as clever and wise but will be portrayed as fantasists and enthusiasts whose words are not to be taken seriously. For the light is regarded as darkness, and the darkness as light .... The blind man will want to lead, and whoever follows his guidance will fall with the leader into the abyss .... but do not be misled, for the time that now follows will all too clearly betray the darkness .... And only a few people will join the light bearers in order to be supplied with light by them. Shine your light into the darkness, for it shall still serve as a signpost for individuals who long for light and who will join you in order to help from now on as well .... Be diligently active, for every soul that reaches the light through you will thank you eternally ....

Amen

God in Jesus Christ ....

B.D. 6098 from November 4th 1954, taken from Book No. 66

I truly want to be your teacher and advisor and guide you on the path to perfection .... But your will has to accept and acknowledge Me as your guide and teacher, otherwise My instructions will remain without effect and you will not take a step forward in your development. If I now meet you in Jesus Christ .... to Whom you must completely profess in your heart .... then the right path is shown to you at the same time, for only through Jesus Christ is the path leading to the aim. It is impossible to establish a connection with God without acknowledging Jesus Christ, because I Myself can only be sought and found in Him and there is no other God apart from Jesus Christ. And therein lies the great adversity on earth, that people reject Me, as it were, that they don't want to know and believe that the eternal deity .... the all-fulfilling strength .... manifested itself in Jesus Christ .... but now also wants to be acknowledged .... that I Myself in Jesus Christ confront them when faith in Me is demanded of them. And you will always be instructed in this sense when you are taught the truth. Every other portrayal of Me, of your task, of the eternal deity does not correspond to the truth .... And yet, other representations are far more likely to be believed .... And that is why humanity takes the wrong path, it does not take the path via Golgotha, it does not take the path which I, as the human being Jesus, initiated upwards .... it does not take the path of love .... otherwise it would recognize and acknowledge Jesus Christ as the 'embodied' eternal love.

Belief in a creating power alone is not enough, for such a Power cannot be denied by a thinking human being .... But the fact that this creating power made Itself imaginable to you in Jesus Christ .... that It and He are therefore one and that therefore the human being must unite with Jesus Christ if he wants to unite with God, this must be assumed to be true and established, otherwise the human being lacks faith in Me, even though he does not deny a 'God'. I call for faith in Jesus Christ, which only demonstrates a true faith .... a faith which was awakened to life through love; for anyone who convincingly acknowledges Jesus Christ as God's son, in Whom I embodied Myself, has also already kindled the love within himself which imparted the light of realization, the strength of conviction to him .... but without which one cannot speak of true faith ....

But I am not satisfied with blind faith .... And therefore I instruct you Myself and offer Myself to you as a guide so that you will be guided correctly in your thinking and through truth also gain full understanding for the mystery of God's incarnation in Jesus Christ. Proper instruction will give you light, and you will also accept it .... And only I Myself can give you this instruction on condition that you allow yourselves to be taught by Me .... that you ask the 'eternal deity', Whom you acknowledge within yourselves, for clarification, for right thinking and for right guidance. I will truly comply with this request and always be ready to introduce you to the truth, so that you can believe with full conviction and become blessed through this faith ....

Amen

Connection with the spiritual realm .... overcoming ....

B.D. 6099 from November 5th 1954, taken from Book No. 66

If you have succeeded in turning your back on the world and striving towards the spiritual kingdom you will hardly have to fear a relapse, for your serious will is recognizable and therefore spiritual help can be granted to you which is stronger than the adversary's attempts to pull you back into his realm. There is only one danger for you humans, and that is the world .... earthly pleasures and temptations which want to numb your soul so that it should have no desire whatsoever for the spiritual world. If this danger is seriously countered by turning away from the world, by turning towards God and His kingdom, then the soul will already have won and God's adversary will have lost his influence, who only ever tries to influence the human being through the material world. You all certainly live in this earthly world, your physical needs are always of an earthly nature and you cannot completely free yourselves from them because your desire is physically conditioned .... Yet there is a difference whether your soul only desires earthly well-being or whether it only grants the body the bare necessities and its desire is more spiritually directed .... For the material world was given to the human being to overcome, thus he should only fulfil the body's desire as far as it is necessary for its preservation, yet never forget the soul's needs, which are of a spiritual nature and can only be satisfied in the spiritual realm. Thus the human being should strive for this as the most important thing, and he should consider it his earthly task to make the spiritual kingdom accessible to the soul .... but this can only ever happen if the earthly world is only respected as far as it is absolutely necessary. Earth is connected to the spiritual kingdom by countless threads, and wherever a person takes hold of such a thread the connection with the spiritual kingdom is also established, and its inhabitants help the human being so that he can ascend rung by rung and is finally so firmly anchored in this kingdom that he hardly respects the earthly world any more .... The separation, however, must be accomplished on the part of the human being, and that in complete free will .... The human being must have recognized the earthly world as worthless for the soul, and he must seek to turn right values towards the soul, which he can only ever find in the spiritual kingdom, which is why his striving is only spiritual once he has overcome matter, the earthly world with its temptations. Until you humans give up this world the spiritual kingdom can never be opened to you, yet in order to be able to overcome the world you must appeal to God for strength and thereby testify to Him of your will, which wants to turn to Him .... and the strength will come to you, for it is the earnest will towards God which is now reciprocated by the beings of light on God's behalf with obvious help .... For they are now more entitled than God's adversary, and they truly make use of their right and help the human being to reach his aim ....

Amen

The human being’s destiny .... Desire for truth ....

B.D. 6100 from November 6th 1954, taken from Book No. 66

The human being's destiny is the perfection of his soul on earth .... You humans were given the goal of spiritual maturity, which you should strive for and accomplish voluntarily, so that you will be suitable for the spiritual kingdom at the end of your earthly life. However, this irrefutable truth is only accepted by a few who will live their earthly lives accordingly .... Most people's thoughts are still deluded, they are spiritually blind and will not allow themselves to be disturbed when they are confronted by the truth .... They are only able to demonstrate their soul's low degree of development but do nothing in order to improve it .... they do not believe .... neither in a purpose of earthly life nor in accountability. Nor do they believe in a connection between creation and Creator .... and do not look for any clarification of what is tremendously important: what will happen to them after they have left their earthly body .... since they do not believe in life after death either ....

Nevertheless, their unbelief will not protect them from their responsibility because they have free will and are not forced into unbelief, into their attitude towards God .... to Whom they could have given themselves voluntarily in order to then be constantly guided in their thoughts and actions as a result of their right attitude for God .... Because every person can turn to God, and he has no valid excuse for turning away from him other than that he doesn't want to .... Because as soon as he wants to know the truth it will be given to him by God, and then the human being himself will establish the right relationship with God .... That people's thoughts and wants differ is their own doing since the desire for truth assures correct thinking. Hence everyone should scrutinise himself as to how much he himself wants the truth .... If he indifferently accepts everything given to him as credible he will have no desire for truth himself or else he would scrutinise it .... And if he rejects everything given to him it could equally be an indifference to truth, which he is not seeking and which he therefore will never be able to recognise as truth either.

It is a person's own fault if he is ignorant, if he walks in spiritual blindness, because there is no desire for truth in him .... And no person can use the excuse that he does not know what truth is and could never assess it himself either .... on account of which he will reject everything. It is undeniably impossible for him to examine whether any information is based on truth, because he has to request God's support for it .... since his intellect alone is unable to carry out such an investigation. However, as soon as he turns to God Himself for support, for spiritual enlightenment, he will clearly know and be able to differentiate between truth and error .... But this requires faith in God .... And even the intellect will be able to affirm this faith if the person's will is good .... because all of creation is witness to the existence of a wise, omnipotent Creator and every intelligent human being wanting to penetrate the truth should be able to call upon this creative Spirit of eternity for help .... And he will soon receive clarification about his task on earth; he will give the right meaning to his life on earth and no longer live carelessly. He will be conscious of his responsibility for his soul and enable it to achieve the highest possible level of perfection ....

Amen

Awakening of the divine spirit spark ....

B.D. 6101 from November 7th 1954, taken from Book No. 66

Every human being carries divinity within himself, in every human being there is a spark of the eternal divinity .... And thus every human being is part of God, which can never be separated from God .... But it makes a difference whether the human being is conscious of this unity with God or whether he believes himself to be a completely independent individual being which has no connection with the creating power. And this lack of consciousness is a sign of the greatest distance from God, it is a sign of great imperfection, a sign of the spiritual low of the human soul. For it no longer feels the divine strength of love .... which, however, flows through it, otherwise the human being would not exist .... In such a person the divine spark slumbers in thickest encasement and the soul feels nothing of it because it does not give it the opportunity to express itself. The divine spark, however, is the light that could illuminate the soul. But thus darkness is in it, and spiritual forces make use of this darkness which never affect the soul in a good sense, for they come out of darkness and only seek to intensify the darkness. Nevertheless, this soul's bond with God remains precisely through this divine spark, so that it is possible for the human being as the bearer of the soul to awaken it at any time .... which happens when the human being ignites love within himself, when he performs works of unselfish neighbourly love and thereby establishes the bond with God .... even if still unconsciously at first .... Then, therefore, the divine in the human being also awakens to life and becomes effective, then God radiates His strength of love, the divine spark in the human being ignites and enlightens the soul, and it enters a stage of recognition .... it sees and hears what it could not hear before because it was dark within it. Every human being can ignite the divine spark in himself precisely through works of love .... Then the human being unconsciously turns towards God, and then he can also receive the divine light of love in the completely normal way via the divine spirit .... the divine spark which always remains in contact with the father-spirit from eternity .... But since every human being is capable of performing works of love, every human being is also capable of entering into contact with God through his spirit .... but whether he is willing to do so is determined by himself .... And therefore the spiritual spark, as a part of God, can remain dormant until the end of life .... The human being can live according to the body and yet the soul can be dead because it languishes in deepest darkness without strength, because the human being does nothing to give life to the spirit within himself. The connection with God nevertheless remains but ineffective as long as the human being turns away from Him through god-opposing behaviour .... through a loveless life which leads to ever further distance from God. However, the soul's lack of strength and light is once felt so agonizingly that it strives for a change of its state, yet it can take eternities until it opens itself, until it consciously establishes the connection with God which, although it was never interrupted, is only effective for the soul when it longingly turns towards God. And this has to happen of its own free will, because the spiritual substance once distanced itself from God of its own free will and therefore will remain in darkness until it strives towards the light again of its own free will .... until it voluntarily returns to God ....

Amen

The guise of piety .... Satan's activity ....

B.D. 6102 from November 8th 1954, taken from Book No. 66

Under the guise of piety many sins are committed on earth. This is Satan's activity, who hides under a hypocritical garment so as to be able to treacherously influence those people even more who allow themselves to be taken in by external pomp and splendour .... People lack their own light and therefore accept the light from those who have no light themselves and merely avail themselves of illusive light .... And in this illusive light they will hardly find the path they should take and easily go astray by believing to be on the right path. It is far easier to recognise an enemy who openly confronts people .... the adversary, however, conceals himself and gives the appearance of belonging to My Own, of speaking on My behalf and to have received authority from Me, so that it is easy for him to find followers .... gullible people who lack the right kind of love. For with the right kind of love they would be so enlightened that the illusive light would be unable to prevail. But people pay more attention to appearances, to imitations, than to the truth which originates from Me .... precisely because they lack love .... And My adversary certainly knows how to prevent love by trying to replace it with something else, by passing laws and portraying the fulfilment of these laws as more important than anything else .... but he knows how to displace My commandments of love so cleverly that people barely become aware of their heartless way of life, because they eagerly submit themselves to the humanly decreed commandments believing to have done enough. A person could certainly realise this himself were it his serious will to live a life that pleases Me .... Yet his vision has been clouded by the splendour surrounding those who present themselves as My representatives on earth .... and who are actually the representatives of the one who opposes Me and who campaigns against Me. Anyone who has kindled the light of love within himself can see everything brightly and clearly and disgustedly turns away from conduct which can never be My will .... However, anyone who still lives in darkness because he lacks inner light will delight in illusive lights and time and again rush to them but without thereby receiving true light .... Only kindness of heart, unselfish neighbourly love, kindles a true light and anyone who walks in this light is taking the right path .... for I Myself will walk beside him on this path, then the illusive light will no longer cause him harm, for he will avoid it, he will stay away, because then he will be warned by his heart of the one who conceals himself under the guise of piety .... He will be unmasked when the time is right .... Yet first everyone shall live up to My commandments of love, then all the pomp and splendour of the world will not harm him anymore, for then his inner light will shine far stronger and he will take the right path unscathed on which .... guided by Me .... he will reach his goal ....

Amen

Hour of reckoning - Judgment .... Retribution ....

B.D. 6103 from November 9th 1954, taken from Book No. 66

Whether high, whether low .... whether poor, whether rich, young or old .... one day you all will have to give account for your way of life on earth when your last day has come. No-one will be able to avoid this accountability, for one day the hour of reckoning will come, the hour of judgment which will then decide the state of your soul and your subsequent fate .... Although you humans doubt the soul's life after death, although you deem your life to be concluded after your body's death .... you will not escape this last Judgment either .... and to your horror you will have to realise that you thought wrongly and that your life was a waste of time, for only a few of those who denied life after death will have lived a life of love .... And these few will begin to understand and have the desire to put right what they did wrong. And they will soon find helpers to assist them in their spiritual hardship .... Yet where all faith is lacking and little love present the hour of judgment will be bitter, for the fate awaiting them will be in line with their state of maturity .... lacking strength and light .... they will helplessly vegetate in agonising darkness .... No soul can escape this fate, even if it held the most reputable position of distinction on earth, for all those who had not created a spiritual garment for themselves on earth will arrive naked and poor in the beyond .... who only took care of the body but not of the soul, whose intentions and thoughts only concerned earthly possessions and who had no belief whatsoever in retribution, in a life after death. To create a spiritual garment for itself in the kingdom of the beyond, which signifies an improvement, is incredibly difficult for the soul .... but not impossible .... However, it often takes a long time before such souls can muster the will for it. And since the soul has to tackle the transformation itself, it can often take eternities until it decides to do so. People on earth do not consider their end and the responsibility they are approaching, consequently, they do not prepare themselves for it; and if, after their death, they only faintly realise their situation they will no longer be able to change it, because they will lack the strength which they had at their disposal on earth in abundance. For just as only loving activity helps the soul attain perfection on earth, so it also does in the kingdom of the beyond .... but loving activity means: wanting to give, to help and to please .... The souls, however, arrive in a very poor state and possess nothing they would be able to give; they have no strength in order to be able to help, they are wretched themselves and therefore cannot bestow happiness .... they are poor and miserable and need help themselves. People don't realise that one day they will reap what they sowed on earth .... Yet, according to divine justice, everything needs to be compensated, and everyone will receive according to merit. Every soul will have to accept the fate it acquired through its life on earth .... And the hour will come for everyone when he has to justify himself .... the hour of judgment comes for every soul on its last day ....

Amen

Utilizing life force to attain spiritual power ....

B.D. 6104 from November 10th 1954, taken from Book No. 66

As long as your soul still wears its earthly garment it has many opportunities to mature, for it is still in possession of life energy which it only needs to use in the right way in order to reach a degree of maturity which will enable it to enter the kingdom of light after the death of its body. As long as it walks on earth this life force is at its disposal, but it disappears at the moment of death. However, with the help of this life force it can acquire a rich measure of spiritual strength, and for this purpose it was embodied as a human being on earth. But how seldom is the vitality properly utilized .... mostly only for the well-being of the body but rarely for the healing of the soul. And thus the soul's vitality can also remain completely unused, and then its fate is an extremely sad one, because it arrives in the kingdom of the beyond without strength and light and can no longer do anything by itself to improve this wretched state. The right use of vitality, however, consists of performing works of unselfish neighbourly love, through which the human being acquires spiritual strength .... As long as the human being lives on earth he is capable of doing this .... only he has to want it himself, thus of his own accord he has to work with love in order to then also be richly blessed with divine strength of love which helps his soul to gain light and strength .... A person who only thinks of his body .... and thus lives in self-love uses his vitality wrongly .... he does not think of his neighbour, he only cares for himself and his physical needs, he wastes his vitality, he does nothing to acquire spiritual strength until death surprises him and he now arrives in the beyond completely without strength .... deprived of vitality and devoid of all spiritual strength, and is now in an agonizing state which the soul itself can no longer remedy. For in view of its previous state of strength on earth it feels its present lack of strength as agony .... which, however, it could very well have averted itself if it had used its earthly life to work with love. If people knew the immense value of their earthly life, if they knew the riches they could gather if they used their vitality properly .... if they knew how bitterly they would one day regret having failed on earth .... they would truly change their way of life, they would think less of their bodies and more of their souls .... Yet they must create and work on earth in free will, of their own accord .... They are certainly pointed out to them by the word of God about the consequences of a wrong way of life, yet the effect cannot be presented to them in such a way that they have to believe and then their thinking and acting takes place under compulsion .... This is why the unheard-of grace of the earthly change is not utilized, this is why countless souls arrive in the beyond without strength .... Yet they can only ever be admonished and warned .... to now act in free will for blessing or for ruin ....

Amen

Spiritual and earthly turn forthcoming ....

B.D. 6105 from November 11th 1954, taken from Book No. 66

You are all facing a turning point .... for life will not continue in its uniformity as before but all human hearts will be afflicted by storms which are only precursors of what will then affect the whole earth. But everything happens in such a natural way that the unwilling believer does not want to find anything special in it, but the believer is clairaudient and clear-sighted and very well recognizes the signs of the approaching end in it. However, people cannot be forced to believe, and therefore everything will happen as it naturally appears .... But the turning point is imminent for you .... a turning point which will occur spiritually as well as earthly, because there is no prospect that people will strive for a spiritual change of their own accord but they have reached the low point which necessitates a change. And this also necessitates a transformation of an earthly kind .... it first requires a disturbance of people from their rest, a destruction of earthly-material goods and finally a dissolution of creations, so that a complete transformation takes place .... earthly and spiritual .... And everything out of order will be restored to divine order, which can therefore be called a turning point, although only a few people will consciously experience it. For this is also part of the fact that countless people will die prematurely .... who are not willing to enter into the divine order, who do not strive for a spiritual transformation beforehand and will still be called away beforehand by God's great mercy .... In the end, however, people will also lose their lives who have sunk so low spiritually that their integration into divine law necessitates a new banishment into matter .... that they thus find spiritual and earthly death and a completely new period of development begins for them. You humans don't want to believe in this turning point but it is imminent for you .... and no matter how much your eyes are still focused on worldly life, no matter how much you love life yourselves and don't want to believe in an end of it in the proclaimed way .... which has been planned in the divine plan since eternity, it will irrevocably take place, for wisdom and love determined this plan. And God knows very well when the time has come to restore the old order .... But you humans don't believe because you yourselves have stepped out of the divine order, but you will experience what you don't want to believe, for the earth is approaching its end ....

Amen

Speedy end .... Fulfilment of the predictions ....

B.D. 6106 from November 12th 1954, taken from Book No. 66

Don't be misled and believe My Words, which announce the near end to you .... You have not been informed of the day and the hour because it is not beneficial for you if you knew them. Yet none of you envisage the day of the end to be as near as has been determined for eternity. Each one of you still keeps his eyes so firmly on the world that the fact, that it should all come to a speedy end, doesn't seem possible to him .... for each one of you is still very earthly minded, even if he belongs to My Own and has spiritual aspirations. For you are living in the midst of the world and still have to do your work. And this is why your thoughts are often so far removed from what I have always and forever foretold. Time and again you are told that the end will come suddenly and unexpectedly .... And you humans will not determine the time, for I will come like a thief in the night .... But don't mock what lies ahead of you just because you don't believe it .... so that you will not have to regret it one day. Time and again I awaken seers and prophets in order to warn and admonish you through them to prepare yourselves for the inevitable. And yet I will not inform you of the day and the hour so as not to confuse you, so as not to restrict your thoughts and actions. And even when the day comes it will take people by surprise, because nothing extraordinary will happen beforehand and worldly people more than ever indulge in pleasures and enjoy their lives .... Just a few see the light but their admonitions are laughed at .... until I intervene and My Word fulfils itself .... Therefore accept everything conveyed to you through the voice of the spirit as pure truth .... Expect the end very soon, for the time has been fulfilled .... the time of the harvest has arrived ....

Amen

Exploiting the last stage .... lot of the soul ....

B.D. 6107 from November 13th 1954, taken from Book No. 66

As a human being you enter a stage of development where you can shape yourselves into completely free and powerful beings in order to then be able to enter the spiritual kingdom carefree .... You have this possibility, and only your free will decides whether you use this possibility .... If, on the one hand, you are presented with an eternal life in freedom, strength and light, which offers you undreamed-of glories, and, on the other hand, with a state of hardship, bound and in agonizing darkness .... you should be aware of the great responsibility and strive eagerly to become free from the bondage .... you should make every effort to make use of earthly life in accordance with God's will and to shape yourselves in such a way that you can enter life. For you possess a certain degree of knowledge as a human being so that you can very well judge whether you are using your earthly life right or wrong .... Yet if you are unwilling your degree of realization can also decrease, you can be blind in spirit and then hardly find the right path to life. However, every human being on earth is given a spiritual guide who directs and influences him such that he nevertheless feels within himself what is right and what is wrong .... Yet he, too, respects the human being's free will but will never leave him until the end of his life, and again and again he will try to influence his thoughts .... he will also influence his fate, thus he will help him in every way to attain the right realization and right use of will. And likewise, a life of divine order will also be presented to him on the human side, which is why he is never entirely without help and thus it only depends on his will whether he increases his degree of maturity, whether he lives in such a way that his soul detaches itself from matter ever more and can throw off all shackles at his death .... to dwell in the spiritual kingdom as a free spirit. But the soul irrevocably has to bear the fate it acquired for itself on earth .... And every person should bear in mind that his life on earth will be judged one day and that, according to divine justice, the soul cannot be treated differently than it has earned itself through its will and way of life. People should .... even if they are weak in faith .... nevertheless reckon with the possibility and think and act more responsibly, so that they do not prepare a dreadful fate for the soul in bondage and darkness, but that one day light and strength will be its share .... Admonitions and warnings always reach the human being, and if he is of good will he will take them to heart and strive for light and freedom ....

Aim of God: eternal life .... free will ....

B.D. 6108 from November 14th 1954, taken from Book No. 66

Giving you eternal life is the aim I have set for Myself from the very beginning .... For I want to shape you into beings which are active in eternal bliss, which therefore live and create in full possession of light and strength. My aim is for you to achieve this bliss .... And yet, you must carry out this transformation yourselves, which is the prerequisite for eternal life .... For although My power is unlimited I nevertheless cannot shape you like this out of My power, because it is not My aim to have will-less creatures close to Me, but I want to have children around Me who have freely attained perfection, whose bliss I can continually increase and in whose bliss I Myself also want to take pleasure .... Children of My love you shall become in free will .... This is My plan of salvation from eternity, which I will also pursue until I have reached My aim. But endless times will still pass until everything that has come forth from Me, everything created, will have reached perfection. However, since it is not My work alone but remains your own work, My love is always anxious to help you, to guide you onto the right path, to inform you of your task and to influence you in every way so that your will now carries out what results in your and also My beatitude. And this is only ever possible through My word, which clearly and understandably informs you of My will, the fulfilment of which is also equal to the fulfilment of your earthly task .... I, as your God and creator of eternity, constantly remain in contact with you, My living creations, through My word .... And My address also proves to you the one Who created you. My address is for My children who shall recognize their father in Me, who shall feel My love so that they learn to love Me and long for Me .... If I have achieved that they show love towards Me, then they will also strive towards Me, and then I will have won them for eternity .... For then they will also reach the degree of perfection which will let them become blissfully happy .... then they will shape their nature in free will towards love, and then I will have achieved My aim .... But I do not force a person to accept My word .... And that is why so many people still hold back from Me; they don't give Me the opportunity to let My love shine upon them; they turn away from every gracious opportunity; they flee the places where they could receive unmeasured if they were willing. These prolong the time of their distance from Me Myself, and I must respect their will .... Once, however, I safely reach My aim .... Yet to their own sorrow My creatures prolong the time of their wretchedness, for they are in a state of death, and only when they desire to live do they withdraw the life force from My word .... Only when they let Me Myself speak to them will they be permeated by My strength of love and begin to live .... But then they will also be blessed and remain blessed for all eternity ....

Amen

Questioning thoughts are the first step towards ascent ....

B.D. 6109 from November 15th 1954, taken from Book No. 66

You humans take a significant step forward if you raise your thoughts up to Me .... to the infinite Spirit Who rules the universe .... if you turn with questioning thoughts to the Being in the belief that It created you .... For this step already takes you into the spiritual realm, you enter a sphere which cannot be made accessible to you by people but which has to be made known to you by Me Myself .... although I also avail Myself of people again if you yourselves are not yet appropriately shaped so as to be able to hear Me and My answer .... Nevertheless you will have established the mental bond with Me first, and blessed are you if you don't disconnect this connection with Me again .... if you time and again detach yourselves from the world and try to find Me .... Blessed are you if you mentally ask questions so that I will be able to mentally reply to you .... For this is the beginning of your assured spiritual enlightenment and therefore also an ever firmer bond with Me .... Just for once think about whether and what exists outside of earthly-visible things .... and you will have already taken that significant step, for it is decisive for your development .... it is the step to higher spheres which has to be taken by every person who wants to become perfect. But in order to do this a person must be able to detach himself from the world, he must not wholeheartedly succumb to it, he must have recognised the worthlessness of earthly matter, for this matter blocks his path of ascent. But once a person has allowed his thoughts to wander into spiritual heights earthly matter will soon no longer be desirable to him ....

However, the desire to find out more about an as yet unknown sphere has to arise in him by itself, and this wish will certainly be granted. Hence the destined progression of every person's earthly life provides him with the reason and would be able to make him think .... he will be directed to spiritual spheres through books or conversations, and he will time and again be gently addressed by Me Myself in the form of thoughts arising in him with a spiritual goal .... And then his will must guide him and blessed is he if it takes the right direction .... Questions arising in him concerning Me are often better than a belief in Me which is not yet alive, for I Am able to educate someone who mentally asks questions and reveal Myself to him such that he can gain convinced faith .... whereas a conventional believer will not ask questions and can therefore not be instructed such that his faith will awaken to life. Everything will truly be done on My part to stimulate a person into thinking, yet I will not infringe upon free will .... However, anyone who willingly makes mental contact with Me or the spiritual kingdom which is as yet inaccessible to him will not be excluded by Me .... My love will reveal itself to him and he will learn to see brightly and clearly, his spirit will become enlightened and he will belong to Me forever ....

Amen

Strong faith .... Success .... Love ....

B.D. 6110 from November 16th 1954, taken from Book No. 66

With strong faith in My help you will achieve anything, even if it seems impossible to you .... For nothing is impossible to Me .... But the spirit of love must be active in you .... everything you do or want to achieve has to be based on love. Then My strength of love, which you will have acquired yourselves through your love, must undeniably move into action. And thus you will be able to achieve everything you want to do for Me and My kingdom, for then your love for Me and your fellow human beings will be the driving force which, in turn, will guarantee you the influx of My strength of love .... and you will also be distinctly effective, if only you believe .... Firm faith is an important factor for your success which, however, will certainly be present wherever there is love .... And if your faith in My help begins to weaken then just seriously consider in your heart that I Am, after all, Love Myself .... that I love you and therefore won't deny you anything except what will harm your soul .... but which you would not request anyway once you began to live in love .... For then your enlightened spirit will also realise why you should not make such a request ....

Yet if you suffer earthly hardship, if you are heavily burdened by your cross, if you find yourselves in peril of body and soul, then come to Me with confidence and you will experience My love, your prayers will be granted to you .... because I love you .... Time and again you must bear My profound love in mind if you are at risk of becoming faint-hearted, if your faith is weak .... I won't turn away from you even if you commit a sin but even less so if you are in trouble .... Therefore, believe and trust, and you will receive earthly help .... and believe and trust that I will also support you spiritually as soon as you want to be of service to Me. You should never doubt that you will succeed, because you can always make use of My strength which is at everyone's disposal if your plans are based on love for Me and your fellow human beings .... With Me and My strength you will achieve everything if only you believe firmly and without doubt.

Amen

'Fear not ....'

B.D. 6111 from November 17th 1954, taken from Book No. 66

Don't fear, only believe .... Nothing will frighten you, nothing will oppress you if only you believe firmly and unshakeably .... And thus, a strong faith can mean an easier earthly life for you, for then you will not fear anything and you can walk along untroubled, your thoughts always turned towards the One Who will help you in every adversity .... You should inwardly be firmly convinced that you have a Father in heaven Who is watching over His children and will not leave them in difficulty, because He loves His children .... This firm conviction is already an assurance that this is so .... And what indeed could be more powerful than your Father in heaven?

No human being on earth and no being of darkness can resist Him, and therefore you need not fear that anyone on earth or any dark being would be able to harm you if you believed in God's greater than great love and the protection He has promised you. For His Words are: 'Come unto Me all ye that labour .... Ask, and it shall be given, knock, and it shall be opened .... Lift up your eyes to Me, Who will bring you help ....' If you succeed in making the Words of His love your own, if you feel addressed by the Father yourselves, then you will no longer oppose them with doubt and faithfully wait until help arrives .... There is nothing He cannot ward off .... there is nothing impossible for Him .... And thus there is always a solution, even if you cannot foresee one yourselves .... He will truly find the means; He will find a way out of every adversity .... Contemplate these Words deep within your hearts until all doubt has vanished, until you entrust yourselves to Him without fear and wait patiently .... For His love is for you, His children, and this love will never end ....

Amen

Fight with the sword of the mouth ....

B.D. 6112 from November 18th 1954, taken from Book No. 66

I will bring you peace .... and yet also the sword again .... But you should not fight in such a way that you harm your fellow human being, that he has to suffer physically and mentally, but your fight should only help your fellow human being to find peace within himself .... Your fight should be against lies and error, against darkness, which you can certainly chase away if you fight with the sword of your mouth .... when you speak in My name. If you have the earnest will to be fighters for Me and My Kingdom, then you will speak, driven by My spirit, then you will not need to consider what you speak, but "I will put it in your mouth ...." and you will fight with the sword of the mouth, because I Myself wield the blade .... But far be it from you to fight with a weapon in your hand .... For such a fight is against love, and without love you will never be able to give peace, but only put the human heart into turmoil, and hatred and unkindness will seek retribution .... Believe Me that you will have to prepare yourselves for a hard battle, for you will be attacked by portraying what you believe as empty and untrustworthy and thus demanding your defence .... And then you will only have to trust in Me that I will guide you right .... And if you are on My side then you will also receive enlightenment from My side .... then you will speak in My sense because you will defend Me and My name, and then you will be true fighters for Me who have peace within themselves and can also bring it to their fellow human beings. For I alone can bring peace into people's hearts, yet every peace is preceded by a battle, and I will make you all suitable for this battle if only you join the army of My fighters and acknowledge Me as your commander .... The battle you fight for Me and in My name is and always remains a holy battle to which I call you, whereas a battle with a weapon in your hand is not My will as long as it is only waged out of lust for power and self-love, as long as it has to be denied any noble motive .... Fight with the sword of your mouth as My adversary attacks you .... fight the battle against darkness, against untruth .... then you will be fighting for a just cause and My support is assured for you ....

Amen

Self-criticism: thoughts .... love ....

B.D. 6113 from November 19th 1954, taken from Book No. 66

Where your love is, there will always be your thoughts. And if you now want to practice serious self-criticism, just pay attention to what you mainly think about .... For your thoughts are free and you don't need to hide them from your fellow human beings, thus your thoughts will always reveal your innermost desire or what moves your heart the most. And now examine whether they are earthly or spiritually directed .... and make an effort to turn them away from the earthly and towards the spiritual as far as possible .... Make every effort to make God and His kingdom the aim of your desire and to detach yourselves from everything that belongs to the world .... So let not the world be your love, but God .... For God will truly reward your love better than the world. God will show you love again, and to possess His love means to gain life and beatitude, to receive light and strength and one day to enter eternal life when earthly life is over .... But anyone who loves the world more can only receive worldly goods which are transient .... which certainly embellish his earthly life but envelop his soul in darkness. And at the end of his life the human being will not be able to take any of it over into eternity .... You can easily test yourselves if you pay attention to your thoughts, and therefore you will be warned and constantly admonished to let your thoughts wander upwards .... For even if the gain is not immediately obvious to you .... it will be immeasurable when you pass over into the spiritual kingdom .... And even on earth you can already receive abundantly, for every spiritual thought will be taken up by the inhabitants of the spiritual kingdom and blessed for you .... You establish contact with them, and since their aim is always God, they will also direct your thoughts towards God and impart a spiritual treasure to you which will always correspond to your desire .... Do not let the world dominate your thoughts .... displace it and occupy your thoughts more with the kingdom you will one day enter .... And the more you succeed in detaching yourselves from the world, the more the aim of your thoughts will be God .... Your love will always be more directed towards Him, and the return of His love will mean unimagined bliss for you. You will live, for you will receive light and strength from Him and can now be blissfully happy in the spiritual kingdom in uninterrupted activity according to God's will ....

Amen

Living creations becoming children of God ....

B.D. 6114 from November 19th 1954, taken from Book No. 66

It pleased Me to furnish you with all your abilities .... but the development of these abilities is left up to you .... I created you with all the aptitudes to shape yourselves into gods .... but you have to make use of these aptitudes. For I gave you free will which must now strive for that which is My plan: your transformation from living creations into children .... This is something I cannot accomplish by virtue of My power as then free will .... the characteristic of divinity and perfection .... would be excluded. Thus all prerequisites for 'becoming God's children' are in place, only free will has to step into action now .... thus you yourselves have to want to shape yourselves into My children, you must accomplish the deification of your nature yourselves. And for this purpose you were given life on earth. You were created in perfection and able to use your free will from the start, which belonged to a perfect being as well .... You, who are embodied on earth, misused your free will, you did not use it in a positive but in a negative way .... even though, as perfect beings you had full realisation which, however, was not allowed to impede your expression of free will .... You voluntarily chose a different lord and turned away from Me .... in other words .... you voluntarily forfeited the perfection which characterised your divine nature by not resisting ungodly thoughts and cravings, by taking pleasure in them and thus excluding the principle of love .... the epitome of perfection .... and you thereby also distanced yourselves from Me, the eternal Love .... Your free will managed to do this, for the abilities bestowed upon you would have sufficed fully to deify yourselves .... You could just as easily have voluntarily allowed yourselves to be governed by everything of a noble, good and perfect nature, you could have given your love to Me and striven towards Me as a Father with all your senses .... and you would have demonstrated that you were and wanted to remain perfect, divine beings ....

Thus you fell of your own free will which subsequently had to accept the consequences: to reach from the abyss, under far more difficult conditions, the previous pinnacle again .... Sooner or later you will have to pass this required test of will, therefore you had to travel an infinitely long path because you had sunk so infinitely low as a result of your own fault. Yet I helped you out of this abyss because in your weakness you were incapable of achieving it on your own .... However, I constrained your previously free will in order to prevent you from falling back .... You took the path through the works of creation with your will bound until you reached the stage of a human being .... But now you have been given back your free will and must face having to take the test of will again .... the same task is expected of you all over again: to deify yourselves voluntarily, and that is only possible if you transform yourselves into love .... if you change your inherent selfish love into unselfish neighbourly love .... if you make the principle of love the guiding principle of your intentions, thoughts and actions. You have the ability to do so but you must develop it yourselves .... And with the right will you can certainly succeed and then you will have reached the goal, if only by making a long detour, after an infinitely long time .... However, it is possible for you to fail and once again not pass the test of will, then you will have to linger for an infinitely long time in a state of imperfection and far away from Me again .... I will always offer you the opportunity to reach your goal, nevertheless, your will is free and this determines the length of time until you reach perfection.

Amen

Crossroads .... way up right ....

B.D. 6115 from November 21st 1954, taken from Book No. 66

If you come to a crossroads and do not know which way to turn, then choose the path that leads upwards .... Do not fear the hardship of the path, do not shrink back if it sometimes seems impassable, but remember that you can only reach the aim by overcoming it, but that you will be compensated a thousand fold for your efforts and exertions. Never let yourselves be tempted to take a path downwards, even if it seems appealing and easy .... it leads to the depths .... But your gain is above, and the fact that the path upwards is difficult already proves that it is also the right one .... You should prove yourselves during earthly life, you should overcome, fight and steadily advance .... but never stop or go back, for I will always await you above, not in the abyss. And if you stand undecided at a crossroads, then guides will also approach you, and then pay attention to what they suggest to you .... pay attention to whether they lovingly offer you their company, their help, or whether they only try to entice you with hints of the joys and pleasures awaiting you, if you follow their advice .... Take heed of what your friends offer you as an aim .... and you will already recognize the right leaders, if I Myself am your aim .... Then accept their leadership and they will support you and help you over cliffs and rocks, over thorns and brushwood, for they are My messengers whom I send to meet you so that you will not become weak or turn back. And soon you will no longer feel the hardship like that, for a light will shine above you and you will now walk towards this light and no longer pay attention to the discomfort of the path because your eyes are only directed heavenwards. A downward path is a danger, a level path unsuccessful .... Only a path which leads upwards can lead you humans to the aim for the sake of which you cover the earthly path. For this aim can only be reached through overcoming and arduous striving. You must be active of your own free will and thereby provide the evidence that you want to escape from the lord of the abyss and enter the kingdom which belongs to Me, and that you consciously take everything upon yourselves in order to reach Me. And then you will truly also receive the strength and even overcome the seemingly insurmountable obstacles. For your will, which now openly professes itself for Me Whom it once resisted, will give you this strength ....

Amen

God's reply to thoughts .... Presence ....

B.D. 6116 from November 22nd 1954, taken from Book No. 66

You can always be convinced of My presence if your thoughts revolve around Me, if you send an appealing call to Me, if you mentally entrust your problems to Me .... In that case you can consider yourselves addressed by Me and need only pay attention to the thoughts coming to you if you quietly listen within .... For I will answer you .... even if you believe this answer to be your own thoughts .... It is My will and My goal that all people shall establish contact with Me in thought .... yet only a few put it into practise .... Consequently it should be self-evident that I will delight these few with My presence because they turn to Me in their thoughts. For every such thought affects Me like a childlike call which I will not fail to hear, after all, I Am waiting for it .... And the nature of the call determines My reply .... as long as you are not yet so intimately connected to Me due to your loving activity that I will be able to impart knowledge to you independently from your thinking .... which, however, requires your belief that I speak to you through the spirit .... In that case, however, you will also be completely convinced of My presence which will give obvious evidence of itself.

Yet the fact that your thinking of Me will likewise affect My presence and that I will then also speak to you is unknown to you humans .... and neither do you know how easily you can draw Me to yourselves and enter into an ever more intimate relationship with Me if you accomplish unselfish neighbourly love, since thereby you draw Me, the Eternal Love, close to you. Then you will be able to strengthen your bond with Me and finally attain a degree of love which is the prerequisite for an obvious working of the spirit within and for you .... You just have to believe that you yourselves are the cause of your God and Father 's presence due to your thinking of Him .... If you look at your daily life from this point of view you will soon consider every hour wasted you have not thought of Me; for if you know that I can and want to be present to you, you will only be happy when you are in silent mental contact with Me .... And you will comply with My gentle urging to perform loving actions and also become aware of the light and strength which will arise in you from such contacts with Me ....

Amen

Rebirth .... Futile life on earth ....

B.D. 6117 from November 23rd 1954, taken from Book No. 66

Your earthly life is futile if your soul does not progress spiritually .... if you cannot succeed to lift yourselves into spiritual spheres during this time .... to free yourselves from the tight bond with earth .... with material belongings .... if you don’t accomplish spiritual rebirth on earth. Your soul is meant to step out of dark detention into a bright life, it is meant to free itself from every physical bondage because it is a spirit and only happy in the spiritual realm where it is free from all restrictions. The earthly body is a constraint for the soul and the body’s desires are always of a physical nature .... If it allows itself to be controlled by the body then the soul will stay imprisoned, it remains earthly minded and all spiritual desire will be stifled. It has to free itself from physical longings, it should not give in to the demands of the body because the soul is the carrier of the will and has self-determination .... If it successfully overcomes the body or even persuades the body to follow its wishes or to do what it has identified as being ‘better’ then it is given tremendous support by the spirit which is buried deep within itself, which pushes the soul ever further towards the spiritual kingdom, offering it the riches of the spiritual realm and portraying them as the only attraction worth striving for ....

As soon as the soul is open to spiritual instruction its fate in eternity is decided, its rise is assured and earthly life has brought success for eternity .... Yet the soul’s preceding struggle is very hard when the body influences it in every way, when it is too weak to offer resistance, when the body remains dominant and clouds the soul so that it meekly gives itself to the body .... As soon as you humans are attracted to the world, as soon as you want to gain everything you can from it, as soon as you dispel all spiritual thoughts as they emerge, you are in great danger because you are not aware of the purpose of your earthly life and strive towards entirely different goals than those for whose attainment you live on earth ....

Your earthly life soon passes and at the hour of death you have to leave behind all worldly material possessions which you have gained .... You will be miserable if you enter the next world without spiritual wealth .... Don’t let your time on earth have been in vain, strive to free yourselves from everything that only serves the body but is of no benefit to the soul. And strive for the kingdom which is your true home and which you will enter again without fail when your physical life comes to an end .... but which can be rather different, depending on the quality of your soul .... Therefore improve yourselves, work and achieve for the spiritual kingdom as long as your earthly life is left to you .... or you will bitterly regret when it is too late ....

The spirit of love protects against temptations and God's adversary ....

B.D. 6118 from November 24th 1954, taken from Book No. 66

Always remain in the spirit of love .... Only then will you be protected from the enemy's onslaughts, for he takes flight from love, and a person with a heart full of love will not be approached by him. However, as soon as merely a tiny spark of unkindness makes itself felt in the human heart he can slip in and will try every means to make more space for himself. He will entice him into becoming impatient, into becoming self-righteous and proud in order to stifle the love in him, in order to then have free reign and to make the human being's will compliant to him. He will never succeed where love is present, for this offers him no target, it defends itself and has the strength to repel him .... Yet time and again the human being encounters situations in which he should prove himself because he can only ascend by fighting or helping .... And thus he will have to overcome opposition, he will have to bend down to the helpless person and help him get up, thus he will have to practise helpful neighbourly love .... If he does, his battles will become less, because then the love in him will give him strength to prove himself as his resistance grows. Yet the human being must take care not to let the fire of love die down .... if he does not want to hand himself over to the tempter who is instantly prepared to help by extinguishing the fire of love entirely .... He is full of cunning and trickery and a master at setting traps into which you gullibly fall if the light of love in your hearts does not burn so brightly that you recognise him no matter how cleverly he disguises himself .... Hence, the call can only ever go out to you: Remain in the spirit of love .... for then you will be united with God and need not fear the enemy. And you can also successfully face every temptation with love .... regardless of its nature .... If people want to humiliate you, if they want to provoke you into becoming impatient, if they try to make you envious .... the tempter is always behind it and you will defeat him and chase him away if you remain in love .... Then all this will have no effect on you, you will only regard your fellow human beings as ailing souls who allow themselves to be used by the opponent for such temptations, and you will approach them with love and occasionally also cause them to reflect on it and stop their unfair words and actions .... For love is strength and will not remain ineffective where it is not resisted .... For this reason you should exemplify a life of love to your fellow human beings, which is frequently more successful than words, which are not proven through an action .... Remain in love and remember that you thereby remain in the One Who is Love Himself .... and that His presence is an assured protection against all onslaughts by the enemy of your souls ....

Right vineyard work .... education for this ....

B.D. 6119 from November 25th 1954, taken from Book No. 66

In My vineyard every servant shall do what he is assigned by Me as work .... He shall use all his strength to completely fulfil My will, he shall only ever pay attention to his master's instructions, he shall never tackle anything on his own, because I demand complete submission to My will from My servants and this will will also be revealed to everyone as soon as he enters My service .... I have hired him to cultivate the soil so that good seed can be sown in it which shall bear fruit for Me .... And as he now endeavours to do this work to the best of his ability, he is an efficient worker for Me, a servant whom I will bless on earth already and one day in the spiritual kingdom .... For I have endless stretches of land lying fallow for which I need labourers .... It is My land, My soil, which requires much love and strength to work, otherwise only half work is done, which cannot satisfy Me .... These fallow fields are the hearts of men, which must first be prepared before the good seed can be planted .... My word, which shall come up and take root .... which shall spread more and more and bring forth the most glorious fruits. And in order to accomplish this work, to make human hearts receptive for My word, much love and perseverance as well as great strength is required .... My servants receive the latter from Me if I see their good will .... But they have to kindle love in their hearts themselves, and it is only love which will make the hearts of their fellow human beings open and want to receive them .... And only the one who has love within himself, who is gentle and patient, who recognizes the danger his fellow human being is in and wants to help him escape this danger, will become a true servant in My vineyard .... It is impossible to do vineyard work without love, for then they will only ever be sluggish servants who do not bring Me any success and who are therefore unfit to work for the lord .... In the end time, however, diligent work is required and therefore I will always look for servants who willingly serve Me .... I have easy and hard work to forgive and therefore accept everyone who voluntarily comes to Me .... then always assigning him the place which corresponds to his still weak strength and ability .... Thus no-one need fear not being sufficient for Me if only his will is good. For I can also train a willing servant for more difficult work, and the strength comes to him from Me as soon as he wants to work for Me and My kingdom. For human hearts are everywhere which are empty or overgrown with weeds, which believe nothing at all or erroneous teachings and whose soil now has to be cleansed or carefully prepared in order to be sown with My word .... It is a glorious activity, for it bears fruit for eternity .... And whoever takes pleasure in the shaping of human hearts, whoever feels pity for those who are like barren, dry gardens, where not a healthy little plant can flourish, let him be discipled by Me as My servant .... Let him enter My service and be an efficient labourer for Me, whose labour I will truly reward. If only he brings along a willing heart that beats with love for his fellow human beings, then he is pleasing to Me .... And I will provide him with everything he needs for his work .... he himself will receive from Me in abundance of the seed he shall scatter. His heart will itself resemble a lush field, and therefore he himself will be able to give, because he possesses abundantly .... And he will rejoice in every little plant which sprouts from the ground .... which he shall now also water with the water of life of love so that it will grow and flourish .... You must be involved with all your love yourselves, you must not do your work as a burdensome task for your lord but joyfully do everything I tell you, then you will also be delighted about the smallest success and do everything to achieve a good harvest ....

Amen

The truth speaks to the heart ....

B.D. 6120 from November 26th 1954, taken from Book No. 66

What speaks to the heart is good and must be regarded as divine .... but what only appeals to the intellect will also be the product of the intellect and must therefore also be tested for its value. But if a person's heart is turned towards God, his intellectual thinking can also be right .... But most of the time the intellect is dominated by the God-opposing power, and therefore not everything that is the result of intellect needs to correspond to truth. Although this is only about knowledge which can or should have an influence on the human soul, it is about religious knowledge which can be purely intellectual knowledge or knowledge imparted to the heart by God's spirit, but which will also speak to the heart again. If such knowledge is imparted to you humans you should first examine its value, and you will also be able to do so if, in your desire for truth, you observe how the knowledge appeals to you .... whether your heart feels it to be right and good and you would like it to be truth .... or whether you start to think because the thought material imparted to you occupies your intellect more than your heart. Pure truth will touch every person who desires truth like a gift that makes him happy .... Untruth, on the other hand, will leave an impression as if you have to defend yourselves against rape .... yet only for the person who wants to walk in the light, whereas the effect on worldly people is the opposite .... that the truth touches him unpleasantly but the untruth is acknowledged by him. From which it is already evident that spirit speaks to spirit and intellect to intellect .... thus every spiritually striving person lets his heart speak, but the worldly person only the intellect .... The spiritual aspirant therefore has a reliable guide, for he will only ever be addressed by that which is helpful to his soul, whereas the intellectual person often does not even use his intellect properly for examination and therefore it is easy for error to slip in. For spiritual knowledge in the world has also become purely intellectual knowledge, often only the intellect deals with problems which extend into the spiritual realm, and yet the human being claims that his results are evaluated as truth .... This is why the following advice applies here: What speaks to the heart is good and true; yet it must also speak to the heart in order to be recognized as good and true .... For only the heart is receptive to truth, only the heart understands the language of the spirit which emanates pure truth and thus makes itself known to the human being through the heart ....

Amen

The right amount of selfish love .... 'As yourself ....'

B.D. 6121 from November 27th 1954, taken from Book No. 66

Making a sacrifice on behalf of your fellow human being is true unselfish neighbourly love .... in that case you love your fellow human being more than yourselves. And if you give to him what you find desirable yourselves then you also love him as you love yourselves .... I only require this neighbourly love, i.e. this, too, has to be voluntarily practised in order to result in spiritual blessings for you .... However, if you are also willing to make sacrifices, if you voluntarily go without in order to give to your fellow human being, then this neighbourly love will be far more valuable and as a result the soul's achievement will be far bigger .... The human being is granted a certain amount of selfish love because it is needed for the fulfilment of earthly tasks, so that the human being can sustain his physical life, so that he can give what the body requires to himself in order to be able to live his earthly life .... It is just that this selfish love should not be exaggerated, so that the person does not consider his fellow human being .... so that he only ever gives to himself and thereby directs his love wrongly .... This is why I added the Words: 'as yourself ....'

And thus the human being will be able to use this guideline in relation to his thoughts and actions .... he must, if he wants to fulfil My will, consider his fellow human being in the same way as he considers himself. And depending on his heart's willingness to love the human being he will then find it either easier or more difficult to comply with My commandment. But anyone who considers himself less important than his fellow human being will have an exceptionally loving heart, and he will very easily attain perfection .... Yet everything is left up to you .... I certainly gave you the commandment of love, but someone who doesn't want to fulfil it will ignore the commandment .... whereas a person who loves will not need My commandment. Only love which becomes spontaneously active without having been prompted by commandments is the right kind of love. But a human being whose attention has been drawn to My commandment of love can also carry out deeds of love without being inwardly prompted, by at first merely being encouraged to do so as a result of this commandment .... until the spark of love within him ignites increasingly more and makes the person happy when he kind-heartedly helps his neighbour.

Nevertheless, only what is motivated by love for his fellow human being will be assessed .... Love your neighbour as yourself .... Everyone possesses love for himself, and rightly so, but it must not exceed his love for a fellow human being which, however, is the case if a person ignores his fellow human being's adversity by believing that he cannot share anything with him because he doesn't own much himself .... He shall also share the little he has with him and it will not cause him any harm, for if he is motivated by love he will be richly rewarded .... since the measure he uses will be the measure he will receive from Me Myself .... A loving person, however, will not think about it first, he will also give at a loss, and his reward will be truly great in heaven .... For the more he sacrifices, the more he pleases his fellow human being, the richer he will become .... He will be permitted to receive much love and be united with Me because he has changed himself to love ....

Amen

Promises of glory .... images of the dark kingdom ....

B.D. 6122 from November 29th 1954, taken from Book No. 66

No one will be able to imagine the glories of the spiritual kingdom, for they surpass anything you can imagine .... But no human being will be able to imagine the kingdom of darkness either, which likewise exceeds all descriptions given to you. But both kingdoms have to remain hidden from you humans so as not to endanger your free decision of will on earth, nevertheless, you will be informed of the fact that unimaginable bliss in light or also agonizing darkness is your fate when your soul has to leave the earthly body and enter the spiritual kingdom. Yet for the most part this knowledge leaves you untouched, you lack faith in it and therefore also the responsibility .... You live on earth, always only focusing your eyes on the earthly attainable .... but you don't think about the state of your soul after death. What do you not do to create a pleasant life for your body, but you know for certain that it will pass away? And how little use are the promises of an eternal life in glory to you .... how little do you fear an unhappy state in darkness .... because you don't believe in it. But one day you will convince yourselves of the truth of this and, full of remorse, think back to the earthly existence which was given to you to care for your spiritual well-being .... Why do you not let yourselves be impressed by the promises of eternal glory .... why do you not shrink back from the images that are projected to you of the kingdom of darkness? .... Why do you only care for the short time of your earthly life and do not think of the endless time afterwards? You believe that the death of the body is the limit of your existence, yet you cannot prove it ..... Why don't you consider the possibility that everything presented to you humans is true? You cannot be forced into it, but you should think about it freely of your own accord and not so lightly accept your physical death as the certain end of your being. Both the kingdom of light and the kingdom of darkness have to remain hidden from you due to your freedom of will, but nevertheless there is also evidence for the truth of what you are told about it, although it will only appear conclusive to you if you want to find out for yourselves whether you live on after death .... Then the spiritual beings will also reveal themselves to you, yet only in order to strengthen your faith in them .... The spiritual eye will be opened for the one who wants to see and he need not walk along blindly .... But where the will to come to the light is lacking it also remains dark, and the soul also receives darkness after the death of the body. For everyone creates his own fate .... a kingdom of light and glory or spheres of agonizing darkness .... according to his will, which is free and must remain free and therefore also determines life in eternity ....

Amen

God knows all .... truth and appearance .... mask of the adversary ....

B.D. 6123 from November 30th 1954, taken from Book No. 66

I truly do not judge according to outward appearances, and I am not deceived by what the mouth utters .... I see the thoughts, the human being's will, and this alone I evaluate, I work according to this will and carry out My work of education on the human being. You can certainly deceive your fellow human beings but never Me, Who knows the most secret thoughts in your hearts. You must know that I am the eternal truth Myself and therefore every untruth, every hidden thought, is an abomination to Me and that I only have an open ear for your needs if you come to Me without falsehood, if you completely divest yourselves of the appearance which you want to let shine towards your fellow human beings .... I only listen to those who come to Me in truth and humility, but I do not respect the insincere .... For he does not believe in Me as a righteous and true being Which must be averse to all false appearances, otherwise It would be imperfect. But My adversary often hides behind a mask and you are his followers if you do not apply yourselves to the innermost truth, if you do not remove everything from your heart which you try to conceal .... My adversary is an enemy of truth .... but his cunning is to present himself as he is not but should be .... For the false man will always borrow a dress .... he knows well what he lacks, and so he pretends to possess it .... And thus he also betrays himself and can never say he does not know about My will .... But the pretence is of no use to him because he will be recognized by Me down to the bottom .... And he will only be regarded by Me when he goes into himself and reveals all his faults to Me, when he throws off all coverings which were meant to conceal his nature and thinking from Me .... when he comes to Me and speaks as he is and thinks .... Only then can he expect that I will listen to him and take care of his need .... For I want you humans to call to Me in spirit and in truth .... Only then can I be present to you, determined by your call to do so .... And only then will you be able to experience My love and mercy, which I bestow upon everyone who comes to Me humbly and in full trust .... who now, by revealing himself, also reveals that he wants to flee from My adversary and turn to Me .... and who can now also expect My help in his adversity ....

Amen

Words of comfort .... Suffering - Illness .... Connection with God ....

B.D. 6124 from December 2nd 1954, taken from Book No. 66

Always rely on Me and the fact that I will show you the right path. Even if it seems to you as if you determine your own destiny, as if you can use your will to turn your earthly life in another direction .... as long as you connect yourselves with Me, as long as you desire contact with Me, I shall guide you and you shall merely comply with My will which I likewise place into your heart, because your resolve to be in contact with Me enables Me to do so. Once someone has joined Me, once someone wants to be in contact with Me, he can stop worrying about his future destiny .... for this will develop such that his soul can derive benefit from everything and it will, indeed, do so if the human being faithfully entrusts himself to Me, if he voluntarily subordinates himself to Me and My guidance .... if he lives his life with Me, if he constantly bears Me in mind and makes an effort to gain My love .... Then he will also possess all My love which only wants his soul's salvation that consists of the attainment of eternal beatitude.

Believe Me that you then will only have to struggle in earthly life if you refuse to help voluntarily .... Hence you can be spared effort if you actively serve in neighbourly love .... yet suffering and disease can still contribute towards your soul's purification but it will nevertheless be bearable for you if you take refuge in Me .... I Am always available to you in all earthly and spiritual adversities, and it is My will that due to these you shall join Me ever more intimately until you are so firmly united with Me that I can constantly walk beside you and you are in continuous communication with Me .... that you are always aware of My presence .... and thus live a life in and with Me .... Everything you experience shall only contribute towards you forming an inseparable bond with Me, and then nothing will frighten or worry you again, for the awareness of My constant nearness gives you strength and security in everything you undertake .... And your will shall be My will because you utterly submit yourselves to My will and therefore can only want, think and act as is good before My eyes ....

Amen

Will of resistance to truth (Bible) ....

B.D. 6125 from December 4th 1954, taken from Book No. 66

The poverty of people on earth is such that they are not accessible to God’s truth .... They can only find salvation in truth and refuse to accept it .... they oppose it with an extremely strong will of resistance because they are trapped in fallacies and lies .... Only pure truth would be able to enlighten them but people shield themselves from it and yet cannot be forced to surrender their resistance .... This is proof that God’s adversary has great power over humanity, and particularly during the period before the end .... it is proof that heaven is suffering violence, and whoever wants to seize it for himself has to use force. He has to take a forcible step and achieve his separation from all falsehood, all untruth .... he also has to be ready to surrender his knowledge if he wants to receive pure truth. Above all he has to desire the truth with all his heart and mind .... Then he will be able to withstand God’s adversary, and then the adversary’s power will be broken .... Who gives you humans the assurance that the ancient, adopted records correspond to the truth?

Why do you cling so firmly to the distorted reports of human inadequacy and do not consider the Words spoken on earth by the Lord Himself? .... And His Words can truly be correctly understood if they are not just contemplated by the intellect but also by the heart .... Although His Words can indeed be misunderstood as well they will always allow for the meaning which corresponds to the pure truth .... But this does not apply to the words which were added by human beings to the pure Gospel of Jesus Christ .... Because the meaning of human spoken words becomes fixed .... And human spoken words result and have resulted in serious misconceptions and confusions, but they were equated with the Lord’s Words and yet they would only be of equal value if they had been a direct expression of the divine spirit .... However, such words completely concur with the Word of the Lord .... You can severely hurt yourselves if you commit yourselves to words that deal with human nature far too humanly ....

You should know that the spirit of analogy was far more prevalent at the time when Jesus Christ lived on earth than today, but people could understand each other because almost everyone knew the key to the parables, and thus metaphorical comparisons were sometimes used as well which, however, at a later time were interpreted word for word by people .... But as soon as you compare the Word of the Lord Himself with every question of doubt you will also understand the meaning of the figurative comparisons .... but you should never give them precedence over the Word of the Lord .... He brought the pure teaching to you humans, He provided you with information, and His Word has still retained its purity, it is merely frequently misunderstood .... But this does not apply to the words which had been added to His pure Gospel, because these did not remain unchanged, and from time to time human will had substituted the expression of the spirit with intellectual thought .... And this resulted in almost imperceptible changes but which completely sufficed in creating confusion .... in giving rise to misguided teachings, which are truly a great danger to as yet spiritually blind humanity .... And this, too, is a reason why God reveals Himself over and over again to human beings, why He, as the eternal truth, repeatedly transmits the truth to earth, why He imparts His Gospel in all purity to those who, in their desire for truth, pray to Him for it and are willing to pass it on .... God’s spirit has certainly always conveyed the pure truth to His servants, yet time and again the working of the spirit will be negated by common sense people, because people have free will which God does not infringe upon even if .... spurned by His adversary .... it interferes with the pure truth. But time and again God will purify what people have spoilt .... time and again the eternal truth Itself will reveal Itself .... time and again the light of truth will shine for those of good will who open themselves to receive its ray of love ....

Amen

Repentance in the hereafter over rejection of the divine word ....

B.D. 6126 from December 5th 1954, taken from Book No. 66

One day you will all experience how My care applied to you during your earthly existence; yet many will ruefully remember the unused blessings, and especially My word will become a judgement for these, which they were allowed to hear on earth and yet did not listen to such that it would have brought them blessings. My word will also be made accessible to them in the kingdom of the beyond, yet it cannot be lived out to the same extent as on earth as long as the souls lack the strength to do so. Yet any strength they acquire in the spiritual kingdom they eagerly use for their advancement, whereas on earth they wasted the abundant life energy at their disposal. And this realization will put them into a remorseful state, they will feel agonizing remorse and realize that they can no longer make up for what they missed on earth .... even though they still have a hope to improve their deficient state and to reach realms of light, even if it is far more difficult than it was possible on earth. Yet it can only ever be imagined to you humans but it cannot be proven to you .... Therefore you pay no attention to these warnings and admonitions, and there is no way to guide you onto the right path without coercion of will which will let you reach the aim .... an eternal life in light and strength .... As long as you live on earth you will be influenced but only ever such that your free will remains untouched, and this will is so impressed by the earthly world that it only ever becomes active where it sees earthly success .... but puts aside everything spiritual, the concern for his soul's salvation, as untrustworthy. One day his remorse will be overwhelming when he realizes the significance of earthly life .... and I would like to spare you this remorse, I would like you to enrich yourselves with spiritual successes during earthly life, I would like to be able to escort you into blissful spheres at the end of your life .... I want you to look back gratefully on your earthly life and recognize the great love of your father in heaven which was meant for you during this time .... I truly take no pleasure in you having to suffer after your physical death and yet I cannot prepare a different fate for you than you deserve, because My justice has to be expressed and nothing can happen against My divine order despite My overwhelming love .... Therefore I can only ever influence you through My word, I can only address you with My word, and you must make use of the strength of My word, then your entrance into the spiritual kingdom will truly mean happiness and bliss for you, and then you will eternally thank Me for My love and grace, which applies to all of you who still live on earth ....

Amen

Fighting against oneself, desires and overcoming them ....

B.D. 6127 from December 6th 1954, taken from Book No. 66

Kill your body if you want to give life to your soul .... This is not to be understood that you should ill-treat your body, that you mortify yourselves or disfigure yourselves, for such only testifies to a defective intellect, an aberration of human thinking and a disregard of what I as creator have given you, it signifies a disregard of the work towards its creator .... What I ask of you is that you kill the desires of the body, that you overcome yourselves, that you don't fulfil the desires of the body, which only apply to its well-being, and thereby cause your soul excessive damage. This fight against bodily desires is truly difficult, it demands your entire will to renounce, it demands a voluntary renunciation, a denial of that which seems appealing to you. It is truly a struggle for which you need strength, yet this strength will come to you if only you are serious about your perfection .... if you truly intend to reach the aim on earth, to become perfect. For your perfection depends on the state of your soul but not on the state of your body. And the body and its passions were given to you for the testing of your will .... For the time on earth the body therefore comes to the fore, it wants to assert itself in its demands, and all its desires and cravings are suitable to displace the soul's desire, for again and againit comes forward and seeks to determine the human being's will, to grant it fulfilment. The soul, however, cannot express itself obviously, and if it makes itself known in the form of thoughts these thoughts are quickly suppressed again, and it requires great strength of will to listen to it and to neglect the body for its sake .... This requires strength of will, thus the human being must fight against the desires of the flesh, against everything that is beneficial to the body but detrimental to the soul. I call you to this fight against yourselves, against your desires .... I call upon you, for it is only the struggle of the soul against the body .... But the soul is imperishable, and one day it will have to accept its fate according to its state of maturity, which, however, is a very low one if the human being considers the body first and lets the soul starve .... Fight the battle against your desires, kill your body, only give it what it needs to sustain its life .... but turn everything else to your soul, which can only mature if it is thought of more in earthly life than the body .... I will bless such a battle, and it will certainly require all your willpower in the beginning but it will also always become easier the more you overcome yourselves, for I constantly provide you with the strength to overcome if only you seriously want to do so yourselves .... and then you will surely reach your aim ....

Amen

Preaching the gospel to those who need spiritual consolation and to souls in the hereafter ....

B.D. 6128 from December 7th 1954, taken from Book No. 66

Wherever you meet people who need spiritual consolation, there you should exercise your ministry .... bring them My gospel .... And they will gratefully accept it as soon as you lovingly offer it to them. But how will it become apparent to you that they need spiritual comfort? If you recognize from their speeches that they are desperate because they lack faith .... if they ask bitterly or despondently "Why all this? ...." if they do not know the purpose of their life on earth, if they do not find joy in the world and are unhappy due to all kinds of strokes of fate .... Then lovingly point out to them that they have a father in heaven Whose love also applies to them and to Whom they should turn in their hearts so that they may find peace and help in their adversity .... Just make them acquainted with the God of love .... for the awareness of not being alone and abandoned will comfort them and also motivate them to entrust themselves to the one Who loves them, and a turnaround can occur in their earthly life, the spiritual path can be taken which also leads to the aim. Love must be preached to people .... they must know that they are loved by their creator and father from eternity and that they should equally love all creatures which came forth from the same father .... their brothers on earth .... And if you impart this knowledge to them then you proclaim My gospel to them, then you work for Me and My kingdom, then you take care of those who need help in their spiritual hardship. And you should make an effort to live a life of love yourselves so that your words are alive, so that your fellow human beings can take you as an example. You must not forget for a minute that you are My children after all, that you came forth from love and therefore your nature must also be love if you want to count yourselves as My own, if you want to be true representatives of My teaching of love. Then your fellow human being's spiritual hardship will also be apparent to you, it will touch you and prompt you to help, and you will be happy to be allowed to bring him My word .... For I will bring people to you who are in need of spiritual comfort, and I will bless you if you are willing to carry out your missionary work for them. And if you succeed in bringing just one soul to Me you will already have done a blessed work for Me and My kingdom .... But don't grow weary, be diligent servants in My vineyard, for people are in great need, they require much love and encouragement and your guidance in order to come to peace in and with Me ....

Amen

Preaching the gospel to those who need spiritual consolation and to souls in the hereafter ....

B.D. 6129 from December 8th 1954, taken from Book No. 66

And also proclaim the gospel to the souls in the beyond, for they urgently need it as long as they are not yet in the light and only attain the degree through My word that they can enter the kingdom of light. As long as the souls possess nothing they cannot work in love, thus they cannot hand over anything either .... But if they receive light and strength through you they can now also give light and strength .... And light and strength are only conveyed to them by My word, which is given to all who are of good will on earth as well as in the beyond. You humans can establish the connection with the souls who have not yet established the connection with Me yourselves .... who are not yet able to hear My word, even if it sounds in the spiritual kingdom .... And so carry this word of Mine to them .... Remember those souls as soon as you yourselves are active on earth for Me and My kingdom .... Consider that these souls can also participate in your vineyard work, that they are more inclined to listen to you, with whom they still feel connected through your remembrance, than when they are confronted by a being of light in the beyond which they don't recognize as such and therefore don't easily accept what they want to offer them .... You can now build the bridge, you can present the gospel of love to them and instruct them to such an extent that they will first think about themselves and then their spiritual friends will also find access to them more easily, because then they will discuss their state with them and also accept advice .... If you recite My word to the souls you will rarely work unsuccessfully, for the pure word of God exerts an inconceivable effect on the souls which willingly listen to it .... For they suddenly understand what was previously incomprehensible to them, and they also grasp the truth more quickly .... they find the context much sooner than they would have found it on earth, for imperfect souls lack light, and this light now shines towards them from My word, so that the word cannot remain without effect unless completely unwilling souls resist, but these are also deprived of the light as soon as they rebel .... Remember all souls which were dear to you on earth .... But also remember the souls in darkness who languish in unspeakable torment and pray for them so that they will become more compliant, so that they will feel the strength of your love and come to you to be taught by you .... Offer much love to these souls and you will thereby loosen their bonds .... Call them all to you and let them participate in the spiritual exchange .... Give them food, for they suffer dreadfully from hunger and thirst and can only quench it with the bread of heaven which I Myself distribute but which they have to receive through you because they still turn away from Me .... yet without this food they can never attain strength and light .... What I give to you in abundance, distribute to those poor and wretched souls and I will bless you .... For My love also wants to redeem the souls from the depths, and your love shall help Me in this ....

Amen

Reason for Christ's birth .... Act of mercy ....

B.D. 6130 from December 9th 1954, taken from Book No. 66

Full of mercy I looked down to earth upon the enslaved human race .... I saw their immense adversity, nevertheless, even though it was self-inflicted I also saw people's great weakness whose burden had put such pressure on them that they were no longer able to get up by themselves .... And My love became so powerful that it wanted to bring help to the suffering human race .... My love was so great that I Myself descended to Earth in order to liberate people from their burden of sin and to open the path to Me again for them. My coming down to Earth was an act of love and mercy by your Creator and Father of eternity .... I wanted to bring peace to people, Salvation .... I wanted to enable them to enjoy light and strength again which they had lost due to the sin of their past rebellion against Me .... Humanity was so steeped in darkness that it was no longer capable of finding its way out since it was also totally powerless .... It was in a state of utter wretchedness, for they were held captive by a lord who exerted control over them, who had no intention of ever setting them free again .... But I was also entitled to you because you once emerged from My strength of love .... And I will not give up My entitlement .... I was ready to fight for you against My adversary and I came to Earth not because the Deity but love wanted to wage this battle which subsequently embodied itself in a human being .... thus, to a certain extent, a human being took up the battle against the adversary, Who only used love as a weapon .... hence love waged the battle .... Love motivated Me to descend to Earth in order to take abode in Jesus, the man .... Whose soul was utterly devoted to Me, Who aspired towards union with Me with all His heart and mind, Who sheltered the soul of light in Himself which wanted to help its fallen brothers to return to the Father, to higher spheres again in order to be happy .... That which had remained perfect wanted to help those who had become imperfect attain perfection again .... Love Itself wanted to use Itself in order to bring freedom to the enslaved people .... For this reason I Myself came down to Earth, this is why I no longer closed My ears to the calls of distress which raised up to Me from Earth, I came as the Saviour and Redeemer in order to bring peace to everyone of good will .... For the time had come when humanity had sunk so low that it had to be helped were it not to completely fall prey to ruin. And thus came to pass what had long been announced before .... The light came to Earth and shone into the darkness .... But the darkness did not comprehend it and there were only a few who recognised it as the Saviour Who was sent from above in order to redeem humanity and to bring peace to all people of good will ....

God's aids before the end ....

B.D. 6131 from December 10th 1954, taken from Book No. 66

Whatever is helpful for the salvation of your souls I will still apply before the end .... and thus nothing remains untried to bring salvation to you humans. And yet, you can destroy all My activity of love yourselves if your will is not willing to enter into My activity of love .... if you deprive yourselves of all blessings which I still bestow upon you in abundance. If I could command your will then your salvation would truly be assured .... yet I would not have achieved My aim of shaping you into children in all perfection, because your free will is the first prerequisite for this. But My love will not give you up .... And everything happens from Me in order to change your will. This is why you are still facing much suffering which I would much rather avert from you if I could reach My aim without it. But you force Me to use such means through your resistance, for only My love uses them if no other success can be expected. Oh, if only you would recognize in every adversity, in every suffering which affects you, a loving admonition from your father in heaven which would like to guide you onto the right path .... which is only intended to make you come to Me, that you entrust yourselves to Me .... that you learn to believe and prove your faith to Me through your prayer for help. I will truly help you if you have established close contact with Me, and I will continue to help you until you have returned to your father's house .... But how shall I win you who still completely resist Me? How shall I move your hearts to repentance, how shall I turn your eyes towards Me, which are only directed towards the world, if mighty events around you are not able to impress you? .... This is why I will speak to them once more in an obvious way and all will hear this voice. Whether they, however, pay attention to it and heed My last admonition and warning call is again left to their free will, but the final decision by which they determine their fate for themselves is also .... life or death .... light or darkness ....

Problem of the incarnation of God .... love, truth, God .... are one ....

B.D. 6132 from December 11th 1954, taken from Book No. 66

The human being can only attain the truth if he lives a life of love .... Otherwise his spirit will remain unawakened and his intellect will be dominated by the one who is against the truth, because he is against Me. You humans should consider that everything takes place according to law, that every cause determines its effect, that one lawfully results from the other .... And it is also such a law that light emanates from a fire .... that a fire radiates light .... And so also the light of truth proceeds from the fire of love, even though this seems to be utter nonsense to a worldly man .... Nevertheless, it is and remains a law which you humans cannot overturn; you can only act against such a law by trying to acquire the truth intellectually .... But you will recognize the extent to which the intellect succeeds by the many different results, most of which contradict each other. However, anyone who wants to kindle a light within himself has to live in love, for through loving activity he draws Me to himself as the eternal love, and I can truly give him a true enlightenment, through My presence in him I can illuminate the darkest corners with light .... There simply cannot be anything misunderstood or erroneous where the truth from Me obviously makes itself known .... And it makes itself known to everyone who makes contact with Me through loving activity. But without love no light can become, no matter how eagerly the intellect wants to kindle a light .... God, light, truth, love .... they are one, and every human being is in possession of everything if he possesses one .... And again, God is 'Jesus Christ' .... So the divine redeemer cannot be eliminated if man believes himself to be in possession of the truth .... For enlightenment about the problem of the incarnation in Jesus is likewise the result of a life of love, because all truth is light which is radiated by the fire of love, and because light illuminates everything and chases away everything untrue from the human being's heart. Therefore I can only ever admonish you to love if you want to reach the truth. And through My teaching of love I only draw you to Me again, Who am eternal love Myself .... Thus, as soon as I Myself can be in you, I can also work in you, and My working is 'enlightenment of spirit' .... a state in which you brightly and clearly recognize all correlations, in which you see everything as it corresponds to the truth .... I can give you the fullest truth .... but only when you unite with Me, and this unity means: working in love .... For "he who abides in love abides in Me and I in him ...." and where I am there is light, where I am there is truth .... But without Me you will eternally not attain to the truth ....

God's grant of grace and rejection from man ....

B.D. 6133 from December 12th 1954, taken from Book No. 66

I truly only want to make you happy .... I want to give you gifts but you don't accept My gifts, I want to shower you with graces but you don't pay attention to them, you pass by when you are offered the most delicious things .... if your father in heaven Himself addresses you to bring you light and strength. My admonishing and loving words have no effect on you, they fall on your ears and you would much rather listen to the sounds of the world, you have your eyes fixed on it and therefore don't recognize the one Who lovingly offers you His gifts of grace .... And thus you remain poor, you cannot gather spiritual goods because you yourselves reject the one Who wants to give them to you .... And one day you will feel your poverty bitterly when it is too late .... My love can only give to you as you allow it, I cannot force anything on you against your will, and if you reject Me and My gifts of grace your state will one day be miserable, yet through your own fault .... Believe that I love you and that I want to prepare a life of bliss for you and that I only approach you again and again in earthly life for this reason .... be it directly with My word, be it through suffering or illness .... I only ever want to draw your attention to Me so that I can then speak to you and My words will not remain without impression on you. My fatherly love is concerned about every single one of its children and does everything that can bring them salvation. Yet I leave you free will and therefore it is up to you whether you listen to Me, whether you let Me give you gifts .... and whether you reciprocate My love for you .... Yet one day you will be indescribably blissful if you listen to Me .... but poor and wretched you will enter the kingdom of the beyond if you close your ear and reject My hand of giving .... You will bitterly regret it one day when you realize Who has stepped in your way .... Whom you have rejected .... And you will have to struggle hard to attain only a part of what you need and what was abundantly available to you on earth .... My love always wants to and will help but never curtail your will .... You are free to decide for yourselves but therefore you also have to bear responsibility for your soul .... One day it will have to accept the fate your will has created for it on earth .... Suffering and torment in darkness or a life full of light in bliss ....

Mysterious light phenomena ....

In the dark, which is spread over the earth, people need a lot of light .... and whether they are also mostly not willing to accept light, whether they also mostly prefer to walk in darkness .... Nevertheless My light from above is supplied to them, because the merciful love of the world of light forces itself to bring you people help. And countless beings of light are near you people on earth, always ready to set light in you .... to push you softly, to do works of love, so that a light may shine in you and light up your spirit. I Myself have instructed My angels, to activate their urge of love to you, and My will is also their will .... Just in the last time before the end, when the darkness will be always deeper, the earth is surrounded by light beings, who let stream their forces to earth and find open hearts everywhere, whom they can bring light .... Before the end their will of love will always be more powerful and cause them to unusual activity from time to time .... that light phenomena demonstrate their work obviously .... phenomena, which are not a satanic illusion, but point clearly to another power .... phenomena, that will make happy, who are Mine, but will give My enemies fear and horror, who want to believe nothing and yet experience something, that can be explained only by faith. My light messengers are instructed to use their strength in My will, and where it is necessary to achieve a work of rescue, there they come together and act with united strength .... so, that their activity is seen everywhere .... that their wealth of light radiates to earth in a visible way to all men. Before the end people will think about light penomena of mysterious nature, and it will not be easy, to explain naturally these phenomena, but which the science will try .... Light phenomena of mysterious nature will also give reason for suppositions, that are completely wrong, but he, who seeks light, will also find it, because the inhabitants of My Kingdom recognize the thoughts of each human, and they look after him, who searches in a good will and asks for light. For heaven and earth .... the kingdom of light and the realm of darkness .... are subjected to Me, and all perfection, radiated through light, helps to drive out darkness on earth .... And that will also happen, because this is My will, that people on earth will be given every help, which can rescue them, to what all beings of light are ready ....

Amen

'Take this and eat ....'

B.D. 6135 from December 14th 1954, taken from Book No. 66

Take this and eat .... these were My Words to My disciples when I gave them the bread as a symbol of the heavenly bread, My Word, which, having become flesh, was in the midst of them on earth .... Take this and drink .... I said when I gave them the wine .... which, like My blood .... the strength of My Word .... was to strengthen them .... Bread and wine were symbols for flesh and blood .... and since I Myself Am the Word that became flesh I was entitled to say: This is My body, which is given for to you .... this is My blood, which is shed for you .... For only through My death did I make it possible for you to hear My Word in you .... through My death I burst the chains which kept you in darkness ....

Do understand, you must hear My Word if you want to become blessed .... And My Word must be hungrily received by you, you must eat it and provide your soul with nourishment so that it can live .... for My Word contains the strength which gives life to the soul .... Flesh and blood belong to life, and I died for you so that you will have life .... The bread of life is My Word .... I Myself Am the Word .... and the Word became flesh .... Can there be a more understandable explanation for the Supper I took with My disciples .... And each time you receive My Word and hungrily absorb it you will remember Me .... You cannot receive My Word other than in remembrance of Me because the One Who speaks to you cannot be forgotten as long as you listen to Him ....

When I broke the bread for My disciples, when I passed the wine to them, I knew that only My Word would establish the connection between Me and people and give evidence of it .... I knew that they would only be able to reach the goal if they constantly allowed Me to speak to them .... Furthermore, I knew that they had to believe in My act of Salvation, I knew what was ahead of Me, that I had to sacrifice My life for humanity in order to redeem it and, in view of this, I said the Words 'which is given for you .... which is shed for you ....' The eternal Word Itself spoke to people: Take this and eat .... take this and drink .... You humans must establish heartfelt contact with Me in order to hear My speech, in order to be nourished by Me with the bread of heaven .... in order to take Supper with Me .... And you can only establish this sincere contact with Me again through loving activity .... Only then will you accept Me Myself in you, then you will be permeated by the strength of My love .... My blood guarantees you life .... Then I will give abundantly, your soul will never again suffer hunger and thirst, for I Myself will nourish it and quench its thirst .... I Myself will offer it communion .... I will break the bread and give wine to all those who want to receive, and they will enjoy My flesh and My blood and their souls will live forever ....

Amen

Offering the heavenly bread to souls in the beyond ....

B.D. 6136 from December 15th 1954, taken from Book No. 66

Generously distribute My gifts you receive in abundance through My love .... I give plenty to everyone who is willing to receive .... yet only in order that he will dispense it again to the needy who do not come to Me Myself in their adversity but whom I want to help through you. There is great hunger for spiritual nourishment, although you will find few people on earth longing for it; nevertheless, not the slightest morsel will be lost if you distribute the bread of heaven .... needy souls in the beyond will receive it with a ravenous appetite, and that shall encourage you to carry out your loving activity of soothing the spiritual adversity ever more eagerly, for since you receive much you can also give much .... If you knew how closely connected the spiritual realm and its inhabitants are with the Earth and you humans .... if you knew how many souls surround you, you would also look upon your every thought, word and action from the point of view that you are constantly observed by them and that you also have a certain responsibility towards these souls .... to be a good example for them and to thereby make it easier for them to progress, if they are still lingering in the lower spheres. And this particularly applies to your conversations which .... if they concern spiritual subjects .... can be tremendously beneficial for these souls. So if the contents of My Word is the subject of your conversation, you will attract many famished souls which will then be offered exquisite bread from heaven, you will provide them with the nourishing sustenance they are in dire need of in their still wretched state. No word bypasses the souls in the beyond unheeded and affects these souls far more deeply, because they share everything they receive .... for the strength of My Word has this effect, and thus My Word attracts endless attention and favourably affects countless souls. But the adversity in the spiritual realm is certainly endless as well, for every day souls arrive there in a sorry state because they are still far too attached to the material world, they did not acquire spiritual supplies on earth and thus arrive in the beyond poverty stricken and depend on help if they don't want to descend further .... You humans can help these souls by conveying My Word to them, which alone can protect them from falling into the abyss .... They look for help where a light is shining and also feel the strength flowing to them from My Word, because these souls cannot be saved by any other means than to accept My Gospel of love, which you should present to them wherever and whenever it is possible for you .... I distribute abundantly so that you can give to those who are in need .... so that you can give sustenance to the hungry whom your love wants to provide for ....

Amen

"Come unto Me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden ...."

B.D. 6137 from December 16th 1954, taken from Book No. 66

"Come unto Me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest ...." I assure all of you who are in trouble and distress of My help, if only you take your way to Me, if you remember Me in your distressed situation, if you come to Me .... You should believe that I can and want to help you and come to Me with this confidence, entrusting yourselves to Me and remembering My promise that I will give you what you ask for .... No one will leave Me who has not received comfort and strength from Me, if only he prays to Me with full faith when he comes to Me hoping for help from Me. I am well aware of your adversity, nevertheless, I urge you to entrust yourselves to Me yourselves, because I can only help you if you approach Me for it .... once you have found the path to Me, for My aim is to be close to you and therefore cause you to seek contact with Me .... Only when you have united with Me of your own will in thought .... which happens through heartfelt prayer to Me .... I have achieved this aim: the recognition of Myself as God and father from eternity, which you once denied Me and which therefore caused you to become unhappy .... I will always say to you: "Come to Me" .... or "Ask and it shall be given you" or "Call upon Me in time of need" .... because it is always My will that you unite with Me .... Only then can I assert My claims on you, then you will have surrendered to Me, as it were, and that means detaching yourselves from My adversary. And then you will also understand why I so often let you get into adversity and distress where there is only ever one way out, that you call upon Me for help if you don't completely surrender to the one who pulls you down .... who then also helps you but in a way which is obviously harmful to you, for he demands your soul in return .... He will give you earthly everything but you will lose the life of your soul for it, for you will increasingly fall into his power .... you will only have earthly-material thoughts and completely forget about Me .... you will deny Me and again acknowledge him as your lord .... and it will be well with you on earth, but you will be lost for eternity .... do not expect this welfare on earth, but come to Me in your distress .... and I will truly give you what you need for body and soul .... You will not be sparsely provided for, for My love distributes abundantly, however, only what is good for your soul's salvation, but it will also always provide for you earthly, as I have promised you .... You need not be in need, for you have a father in heaven Who only requires that you turn to Him in your heart and Who will then also provide for you like children to whom He refuses nothing except what harms them .... but you must come to Him voluntarily ....

Amen

Development process of the spiritual ....

B.D. 6138 from December 17th 1954, taken from Book No. 66

It is a lengthy process which shall bring you to maturity .... which shall put the spiritual again into the state in which it was in the beginning. It is a course of development which is unspeakably arduous and agonizing but cannot be eliminated because the distance from God was too far and now there are endless steps to be taken from the abyss to the height which can only be covered through a process according to divine order .... through service .... The love of God created this possibility for the fallen one .... to serve according to God's will .... The being operates in the law of compulsion, it is compelled by natural law to be of service, in that the spiritual is bound in the various creations, which always have a maintaining and constructing purpose .... Every work of creation has its purpose, its destiny .... one will always serve the other .... And so that the purpose of the creations is fulfilled, the spiritual bound therein is forced into a serving activity according to natural law .... Through this admittedly involuntary service the spiritual covers the path of ascent development .... at first in great agony, because the bondage is an unbearable state for that which was once freely created .... At first the resistance is still so great that it remains in apparent inactivity, in hard matter, which appears completely dead and immobile. But the resistance first decreases imperceptibly, then more and more, so that also the form of creation enclosing the spiritual can be loosened .... so that the stay in any form also requires an ever shorter period of time. The activity is ever more apparent so that life can be recognized in the forms which now shelter the spiritual .... And so this spiritual has now passed through the various creations, it has covered the path through the stone, plant and animal world .... it has served, albeit in bound will, and through serving it has brought itself into a state where the resistance to God has already become so low that it can now regain free will .... that it can occupy the last creaturely form and embody itself as a human being in order to now prove that it is willing to give up its resistance to God .... And this proof is provided when the human being now serves in free will .... when he ignites the love within himself which now prompts him to serve .... It is an exceedingly lengthy process which the spiritual itself can also gamble away if in the last stage .... as a human being .... all previous torments and toils become useless .... if it sinks back step by step in free will .... if it again abuses its free will .... But this relapse is something so horrible that man is not able to imagine it. But neither can it be given the recollection of the extremely agonizing time of its ascent from the abyss because this would impair free will, which, however, is decisive for the stage as a human being .... Only the responsible aspect of their earthly life can be presented to people again and again, yet whether they believe it is up to them, but it is also decided by the soul's spiritual fate .... Oh, if only people believed the responsibility they have in earthly life .... If only they believed that they would have to bear the consequences themselves if they fail in the last stage of their development .... But they can only be pointed to the commandment of love .... If they fulfil this, they will also recognize the significance of their earthly life of their own accord, and then they will also fulfil the last task on earth .... to serve voluntarily .... And then the endless long path before will not have been in vain .... they have returned to Him from Whom they once took their departure ....

Amen

"Become like the children ...."

B.D. 6139 from December 18th 1954, taken from Book No. 66

Become like children .... Believe everything I tell you without reservation, for I will only convey purest truth to you, and therefore you need not brood or doubt as soon as you only believe that I Myself am addressing you. And you must feel this in your heart, you must feel My words as a loving address which only love can give you .... Hence you must feel love, and then you will know that eternal love addresses you, which wants to be loved by you again .... But then you can also accept every word without doubt .... And if I point out the near end to you and reproach you if you don't lead a right way of life, then you only have to recognize My love in it, which wants to protect you from the worst, from eternal death .... I only ever teach you love .... And this alone should be enough for you to recognize Me Myself as love in the words conveyed through the spirit .... For it can only be good or bad forces which address you .... All good forces are in contact with Me, they act and speak according to My will and are therefore to be regarded as transmitters of that which emanates from Me Myself .... All bad forces, on the other hand, will never preach love to you but always try to influence you to live contrary to divine order, which also includes that they never keep spiritual but always earthly aims before your eyes .... But the fact that spiritual forces are at work in the transmission of My word .... or spiritually directed thoughts .... will be noticed by anyone who seriously examines the content .... which reveals profound wisdom and develops a plan of salvation such as only divine love could design .... It is nonsensical to assume that a human being thinks up such things himself, because even good intellectual thinking never works flawlessly and the human being would also come across contradictions .... which, however, exclude My spiritual transmissions, which can be seen by anyone who seriously examines them. But if it concerns spiritual receptions, only good or bad powers could be concluded .... But bad forces can never take hold of a person who wants to serve Me, who strives towards Me and desires to stand in truth .... My nature is still alien to you humans .... you cannot measure My infinite love and My unlimited power .... You adhere to rigid commandments issued by men and pay too little attention to My commandment of love .... But if this alone were important to you, then you would also possess My love .... and to possess My love means to be guided by Me on all your paths through life and to always be under My protection .... For then I will recognize your will to be obedient to Me, and then I will also be the father to you Who protects His child from every danger .... How can you believe that love acts differently, that the father abandons His child to bad forces, which feels connected to the father and gives its love to Him? .... I am in contact with every person who seriously strives towards Me, and he can also know that he is protected by Me, and in particular his soul, which I will not let come to harm as soon as the person trustingly hands himself over to Me .... The human being's will decides which forces approach him .... and whose will I possess, whose soul I also possess .... And what is Mine also receives My revelations, the pure truth, which only I Myself can impart and always will impart to those who love Me and keep My commandments ....

Amen

Living water .... path to the source ....

B.D. 6140 from December 20th 1954, taken from Book No. 66

Wherever I can convey My word it will also resound there .... Although I make use of those who can receive My word directly, I lead people to them who have the desire to receive spiritual food and whom I therefore also provide with food and drink so that they can mature in their souls .... For I know who allows himself to be touched by My word, I know who is receptive .... I also know where My seed falls on good soil and where a good harvest can be achieved .... Yet there are only ever a few who allow themselves to be impressed, who feel addressed by Me Myself when My word is offered to them .... But I also want to win these few souls for Myself, I want them to completely surrender to Me, and therefore I address them .... All of you who listen to Me, you will derive great benefit from My word, and your soul will feel happy that it is offered something delicious .... that it receives strength .... For My word is blessed with My strength. You can indeed receive it everywhere and it will always earn you blessings if you heartily desire to be addressed by Me .... Yet My word will touch you even more strongly if you let Me Myself speak to you through the mouth of a human being whom I have chosen Myself in order to be able to speak to all of you through him. You shall drink living water, you shall draw from the spring which I have opened up for you and from which the water of life flows purely and unadulterated, which therefore will also have an extremely invigorating effect on you .... Take the path to My source .... i.e., want to be nourished and strengthened in your soul, and now also pay attention to those who show you the way to the inexhaustible source of My love .... earnestly desire to be fed and watered by Me .... and I will send My servants to meet you, who will bring you on My behalf what your soul desperately needs .... the bread of heaven, without which you cannot attain eternal bliss .... do not disdain such gifts which are for your soul's salvation .... Give it plenty of nourishment too, and don't let it go hungry because of your body, which you provide abundantly with earthly food, for the body is only given to you so that you can provide the soul with spiritual maturity during earthly life .... And therefore give abundantly, for you will receive abundantly as soon as you desire the bread of heaven .... I will always give it to you because I am a good householder and also a good physician and know exactly what you need in order to become blissfully happy ....

Amen

The earnest will achieves the aim ....

B.D. 6141 from December 21st 1954, taken from Book No. 66

All who want to walk the right path, all who struggle for their soul's salvation, will be supported by Me so that they will also reach their aim, even if the path they have taken is not the right one .... But I will help them onto the right path, and they will let themselves be helped by Me if they have the serious will to gain My pleasure. It is only ever a question of whether they are serious about fulfilling My will .... for there are many who were pushed onto a certain path by upbringing or tradition which they now carelessly continue on in the assumption that it leads to the aim. But they seriously want to reach the aim .... And I will always help them to find the right path which leads upwards .... to Me .... But anyone who walks along indifferently, who does not think at all about where the path he is taking could lead to, who does not pay attention to those who want to point him in the right direction, or who continues on a path against his better knowledge because it seems tempting to him, has no serious will to reach Me either, and therefore I cannot help him either, for My help requires his good will. But it is wrong to believe that every path leads to Me .... It is wrong to believe that you will reach the aim if you don't set yourselves in motion, if you stop on a path, that is, if you don't let your will become active, if you allow yourselves to be satisfied with mere forms without doing any work yourselves which secures your progress. The path to Me must be travelled by every person himself, of his own free will .... If he is urged or forced to take a certain path he has no advantage of his own .... but again and again he will be shown a path by Me which he can enter voluntarily, and he will be helped to become free from oppressors .... yet always only on condition that he is willing himself, that he only pursues the aim of reaching Me .... And from every path the human being has taken, opportunity is offered to him to enter the right path upwards .... I will help everyone to find it, and this path to Me will always be recognizable through light, for it is the path of truth which will always spread light and which therefore can also be found by everyone who seeks the light .... And only those who shun the light will pass it by ....

Amen

Endless night lies before mankind .... Jesus Christ .... the light ....

B.D. 6142 from December 22nd 1954, taken from Book No. 66

Night descends upon humanity, a night that is unimaginably long and agonizing, for no beneficent rest will this night bring, but only imprisonment and darkness .... Such a night lies before you humans, even though you still move in the light of day, even though you are still free in your thoughts and actions. But the night robs you of this freedom, and it also robs you of the light .... And even the little you can still recognize in the light of day will sink into dark night, and you will know nothing more and have to languish in darkness again for an infinitely long time until the light appears to you once more .... Once the light itself came to earth .... for once before this spiritual darkness was spread across the earth .... then God's love took pity and let His light shine to earth .... The eternal light itself descended to earth to help people up out of the darkness, to pave the way for them that leads to light and glory .... And this light can still shine in all its strength today if only the will is there to escape the darkness, if only every ray of the eternal light is caught .... if people themselves ask for light and turn to Him with this request, Who Himself descended to earth for all people of the present, the past and the future. He kindled such a bright light when He descended to earth that there would truly no longer be any need for darkness if people voluntarily hurried towards the ray of light, if they themselves wanted to emerge from the night .... Yet humanity feels at ease in this darkness, for it is hostile to anyone who approaches them as a bearer of light .... The time has passed when the light from above illuminated the way .... Again the earth is shadowed by darkness, and only a few move away from where it is night .... few only strive towards the light which still shines from above. And therefore the endless long night is to be expected, because He is not remembered Who once brought the light into the world .... Jesus Christ .... Who contained in Himself the eternal light in all its fullness. He alone is the one Who can still bring salvation today where such is requested .... He alone is able to turn away the night and bring light to those who call to Him .... But whoever passes by Him will irrevocably go towards that night from which there is no escape anymore .... But whoever follows Him, whoever lets himself be illuminated by Him, need not fear the night .... He will experience a morning full of light, and it will no longer be dark around him for ever .... For anyone who takes refuge in the eternal light Himself will also be constantly permeated by Him, and for him the light did not come to earth in vain, he accepted it, he voluntarily gave himself into its radiance .... everything dark and captivating has fallen away from him, he will enter the kingdom of light when the shadows of the eternally long night descend upon all people on earth who pay no attention to the divine light of love from above .... who do not believe .... that the eternal light itself came to earth in order to liberate people from the night of death .... who do not believe in the missionary work of Jesus Christ, Who wanted to save people from sin and death ....

Call to Jesus Christ is salvation .... God's word ....

B.D. 6143 from December 23rd 1954, taken from Book No. 66

No other help can be sent to you from above than My word which warns and admonishes you and points you to the right path and to the one from Whom salvation originates, Who wants to set you free from adversity and suffering but requires your will to do so .... I can only ever call you to come to Me, to Jesus Christ, your saviour and redeemer from every adversity .... I will always listen to your call if you pray to Me in Jesus Christ, for My promise is: Whatever you ask the father in My name He will give you .... And therefore I send you My word so that you will come to realization through the word, so that it will become easy for you to believe in Me as the redeemer of the world, Who embodied Himself in Jesus Christ, in order to be able to enter into visible contact with you to accomplish the act of salvation on earth for you. I cannot help you other than through My word .... and you establish the voluntary connection with Me when you receive or listen to My word, and then I can also help you in earthly adversity .... as I have promised you .... But as long as people are completely detached from Me, as long as they don't believe and only have earthly interests, I cannot approach them in the word, and as long as they don't request My help I have to refuse them My help either .... And therefore there is much hardship and misery on earth, for it is obvious that the world is dominated by the adversary .... It is obvious that people can no longer be made to think other than through adversity, and thus they cannot be spared it until they unite with Me, until they accept My word and thereby come to realize why they have to suffer on earth .... I can and always want to help, yet you must approach Me for this and prove to Me through your call to Me that you believe in Me and acknowledge Me as your lord. Then I will also always be ready to help, then the earthly and spiritual adversity will be remedied, for the latter is the cause of the earthly adversity which you feel painfully, whereas you cannot measure the spiritual adversity humanity is experiencing in the last days before the end .... Therefore don't be surprised if you still have to endure much suffering .... don't be surprised but try to remedy it by sincerely joining Me and requesting strength and help in Jesus' name, which will then also be given to you as I have promised you ....

Amen

Peace to all men of good will ....

B.D. 6144 from December 24th 1954, taken from Book No. 66

Peace on earth to men of good will .... Remember the night when the divine Redeemer came into the world .... remember His birth but also His death, His act of Salvation, for the sake of which He descended to earth .... Remember His greater than great love which motivated Him to live in the flesh and to subsequently sacrifice Himself on the cross in order to bring redemption to humanity from its bondage .... He wanted to bring you peace, the salvation of your souls .... He wanted to save you from eternal death, He wanted to give you life .... He wanted His living creations to become children and fetch them back into the Father's house .... He was motivated by His boundless love to descend to earth in order to carry out a work of deliverance in the midst of people, in order to gather His little sheep, in order to rescue the lost ones from the claws of the wolf which had broken into His flock because no-one was able to stop him .... All people were under the control of the one who was His enemy and therefore the Saviour came down from above in order to snatch them from his control .... However, in return He had to make a sacrifice for the adversary, because he would not release his captives since they voluntarily followed him into the abyss and became as sinful as him .... They would have had to pay the ransom themselves and were too weak to do so .... But they would also have had to make their own

Amends with God due to the inconceivable sin of their past resistance to God .... They would never have been able to achieve this, and thus they would have been enslaved by God's adversary forever had they not received help .... had God Himself not taken mercy upon them .... And He atoned for the guilt on your behalf, He paid the ransom for you .... He died on the cross for your sins .... He Himself redeemed you humans from sin and death ....

Only love was able to redeem you humans, hence the Eternal Love embodied Itself in a human being, in a child Which was born without sin and in all purity and also remained without sin and pure as long as It lived as a human being amongst people .... The human being Jesus accepted the divine love within Himself, and this greater than great love for His fellow human being made Him accomplish an act of mercy as happened only once in the world .... He suffered and died on the cross because love motivated Him to offer God the sacrifice of atonement .... He took all of humanity's sins upon Himself and made

Amends for them .... Love endured everything in order to redeem the people .... A great act of compassion commenced when the Saviour came into the world .... A ray of light fell to earth, it shone brightly into the hearts of the few who languished in their adversity and called upon God for help .... The infant Jesus emanated light and a few recognised Him as the Messiah, Whom seers and prophets had proclaimed to the world. And they paid homage to the small child .... They praised and glorified God, Who had taken pity on them and found peace in their hearts .... Yet there were only a few and even today there are only a few who think in their hearts with love and gratitude of the One Who sacrificed Himself for the sinful human race .... But only these few will find peace, only these few can be redeemed who believe in Jesus Christ as God's Son and Redeemer and allow the light to shine into their hearts .... who humbly bow down to their Saviour, Who came into the world as the infant Jesus in order to redeem humanity ....

Amen

Jesus heard the Word of God .... Mediator between God and people ....

B.D. 6145 from December 25th 1954, taken from Book No. 66

When Jesus lived on earth as a human being the connection between Earth and the spiritual kingdom was established .... God Himself was once again able to speak to people through the mouth of Jesus, the man .... His Word could be heard again, which previously was impossible due to the vast distance which existed between humanity and God. It is only possible to hear His voice directly if a person's soul has so shaped itself that it is capable of hearing the voice of the divine spirit within itself; and the soul is shaped into this state through activity of love .... The human being Jesus was Love Itself .... His sole thoughts and intentions aimed to benefit His fellow human beings, to help them in all adversity of body and soul. His soul was clear and pure and His life on earth was a life of love .... All preconditions were in place which enabled the divine spirit to express itself, for the soul of the man Jesus heard these Words clearly and distinctly and was therefore able to inform people of God's Word .... God Himself was able to speak to people, the connection between God and people had been restored by Him .... Jesus was the mediator between God and people .... And thus Jesus taught people to strive towards the same that He Himself had achieved .... He taught them to exercise love in order to prepare themselves as a vessel for the divine spirit into which the strength of the spirit could pour, for every person should and was able to hear God's voice within himself. And the path was shown to him by the man Jesus, Who also first had to attain the degree of love which assured Him God's presence, so that he was able to hear Him within Himself. Although God can speak to every person He will never do so unless the conditions have been fulfilled first .... a heart purified by love which can admit God Himself Who then will demonstrate His presence through His Word .... The man Jesus possessed an extraordinarily high degree of maturity of soul because He was utterly permeated by love .... Hence it was possible for God Himself to permeate Him completely, and so God spoke through the man Jesus to people and it was no longer the man Jesus but God Himself. He achieved of His own accord what led to the unification with God ....

But He instructed His fellow human beings, He also wanted help them attain the success which He had gained through His love and therefore He first taught them to love .... and again and again only love .... Out of His great love came wisdom, for the spirit of God instructed people through Jesus .... Out of the fire of His love radiated the light of realisation .... Jesus knew that people, too, would be permeated by the light of realisation if only they lived up to love first .... this is why people were not taught more profound knowledge since this is the result of a live of love without which it remains ineffective for the human being's soul. Only love connects the human being to God, only love achieves that God will take abode in a person, and only love motivates Him to express Himself .... And thus someone living a life of love will hear the Word of God inside of him, he will be guided into the most profound knowledge, he will be able to say that he is taught by God, he hears His Word and is thereby united with Him through love .... The man Jesus demonstrated to people that it is possible to achieve this degree and therefore showed them the path which leads from the abyss to higher spheres again .... to the Father .... He taught love, He lived love and finally crowned His way of life with His death on the cross in order to release people from all weaknesses which became their share due to their past sin .... so that people would have the strength to take the path, so that God's spirit would be able to pour into all those who are willing to follow Him .... who live a life of unselfish neighbourly love as He had exemplified to them on earth ....

Will determines the measure of grace ....

B.D. 6146 from December 27th 1954, taken from Book No. 66

It is not the measure of grace which determines the maturing of the soul but your will to utilize the graces. For no matter how abundant the blessings flow to you, if you are not willing to accept and utilize them they will be completely ineffective and your soul will not derive the slightest advantage from them. Thus your will determines the degree of maturity of your soul .... As you will it, such is the soul's lot after your death .... And your will is again influenced from two sides .... the world of light and also the dark world seek to win your will for themselves, and each holds before your eyes what it can offer you .... light and bliss in the spiritual kingdom and also earthly goods which are transient and therefore signify a dark sphere for the soul. And if you seriously thought about what you could achieve you would also be more careful before you decided. Everything that points you upwards is grace .... everything that is beneficial for your soul is grace .... but you determine whether grace becomes effective in you .... Again and again you humans are offered the opportunity to tread the path of ascent, and all these opportunities are blessings which God's great love bestows upon you .... And you can always achieve spiritual progress if you allow yourselves to be seized by grace, if you no longer offer any resistance .... then your soul will always desire more of what helps it to mature, and God's grace will flow towards it ever more abundantly .... But it is different with the unwilling souls who certainly need much help but remain unimpressed by divine gift of grace, who reject all help .... who always keep their eyes turned towards the world, attentively follow all lights there and don't feel the beneficent gentle light of divine grace. They receive the same amount of grace as the former, but they do not make use of it .... They leave it unnoticed and their soul remains in darkness, no strength is supplied to it which, however, every soul may receive abundantly if the human being's will allows it. That is why one can easily reach perfection while the other remains deep below .... although both had abundant graces at their disposal. They were used by one but left unnoticed by the other, and accordingly the soul also matures or it remains in the old state, in darkness. The will cannot be forced from God and thus also not by the luminous forces which take care of people on earth .... but nevertheless they try everything in their love to change the will so that it turns towards God, so that the human being gives up his resistance against God and now gratefully accepts from His hand what is a blessing for him .... Only the will needs to be good, then the ascent development is assured, then the human being is surrounded by so many good forces which seek to transfer their will to him, which is fully meant for God, and then the human being will accept every grace offered to him and utilize it according to divine will, and his soul will ascend and reach perfection ....

Unusual need - unusual help ....

B.D. 6147 from December 28th 1954, taken from Book No. 66

An unusual adversity requires unusual help .... This is why much will still happen in the last days which seems strange and which will be recognized as spiritual activity by those who know that the end is near and who therefore also pay attention to all signs which announce the end to them. People will still experience many things they cannot explain scientifically but will find the explanation immediately if they look at everything in terms of spiritual development, if they consider people's spiritual low as well as the imminent end .... Then they will understand that God's love still tries everything to awaken people, to make them wonder so that they become aware of their responsibility .... Although only a few will be successful, God loves every single soul and will leave no stone unturned in order to still win them over for Himself. Yet whether God also works obviously, whether He also tries to bring Himself to mind through unusual phenomena .... people are difficult to impress because they have explanations for everything, even if they deviate far from the truth .... And what moves them today will have lost all appeal and interest tomorrow .... Human hearts are dulled and only earthly advantage or failure can still stimulate them to think and act, but everything spiritual is fantasy for them, unworthy of a thinking intellectual .... And so completely unnatural things could take place in the universe .... the most visible signs from above could be given to them .... they would only take note of everything, smile about it or try to explain it earthly-naturally, but otherwise not be impressed by it .... And even these rescue attempts will be in vain, the successes very small, and yet everything will still be done, and if it were only possible for one soul to escape eternal ruin and still find its way back to God before the end ....

Amen

Further development on the new earth ....

B.D. 6148 from December 29th 1954, taken from Book No. 66

All spiritual substances capable of development will continue their path of development, even when the end of this earth has come, when a total transformation of it has taken place .... while that spiritual substances which have proved incapable of covering the last stage of development will be relegated again and have to go through the course of development once more according to divine law, which puts all spiritual substances into such state which corresponds to their degree of maturity .... And so an epoch of development has ended, but the cycle of development is not interrupted .... The spiritual still in bound will continues to ascend, and the human being can also ascend in free will and finally liberate himself from the form .... But he can also descend by virtue of his free will, and then he has to ascend again from below. The redemption of the fallen one experiences no interruption, even if the earth is facing a turning point spiritually and also earthly .... Only the divine order is restored, which has been considerably disturbed by the free will of man .... Only everything will be moved to where it belongs according to its maturity .... The spiritual substances in the various works of creation, which are still bound in form, will therefore also experience a change of their dwelling place, and this also necessitates a dissolution of the visible works of creation and the emergence of a new earth .... This is not credible to people and yet it will happen according to divine counsel, which only ever aims at the spiritual's ascent development, which is to reach God from the abyss. If the spiritual substance lived completely in God's order in the stage of free will .... as a human being .... then a total earth transformation would never be necessary, because then the process of ascent development would take place according to plan and the redemption of all spiritual substances could take place very quickly. However, human free will so often acts against divine order that it endangers the entire previous course of development and again and again requires God's violent intervention in order to correct what has gone out of order again. And this always means the end of a redemption period and the beginning of a new one, it always means a transformation of the earth, thus also a passing away of all works of creation and the emergence of completely new creations .... It means a release of the spiritual bound in hard matter and renewed binding in considerably loosened forms, which now also initiate the upward development of this spiritual already held captive for eternal times .... thus gratefully felt as a relief by this spiritual. Such a reshaping of the earth's surface means progress for all spiritual substances, except for the spiritual substance embodied in the human being, which failed by abusing its freedom of will and constantly striving downwards instead of upwards during its earthly life. This spiritual is transferred to what it longed for .... it becomes hard matter .... it becomes bound by this, to which all its striving and desire applied .... It is a just compensation for the unheard-of grace of freedom in the embodiment as a human being .... but which man disregarded, which he used in a wrong sense .... that he distanced himself more and more from God for the sake of matter, which now becomes his reward .... And the fact that you humans are standing before the end of an epoch of redemption is repeatedly and urgently held up to you .... In all love God gives you the knowledge of all correlations, of cause and effect, of the consequences of a right and also a wrong earthly change .... He conveys the knowledge to you through His word, and you could also believe it with a good will .... But He cannot force you to accept His word as truth .... The freedom of your will alone determines your faith, it determines your thinking, willing and acting .... but therefore also your fate after this transformation .... which can be truly glorious in paradise on the new earth but can also cause you unspeakable torment if you are banished anew into matter .... according to your will and your love ....

Amen

Patiently bearing the cross ....

B.D. 6149 from December 30th 1954, taken from Book No. 66

Every person receives the cross he needs to help him attain full maturity of soul .... But it is truly not My will that you should be burdened too much, nevertheless, its weight corresponds to your free will. You can make it more difficult for yourselves if you oppose My will or easier as soon as you follow it. As soon as you carry your cross patiently, its weight will begin to seem less; if, however, you rebel against it, it will seem even more of a burden to you. Taking the path of the cross on earth is necessary for your soul until it's willingness to love no longer lets it feel suffering .... until it is even grateful for the small cross I have imposed on it and which it recognises as a Godsend and thus carries it patiently and without complaining .... Keep in mind that I Am aware of everything that burdens you, hence I also know what is appropriate for your soul's maturing .... And humbly accept that which is yet to come upon you and which must come upon you because the end is approaching and only little time remains left for your soul's perfection .... Bear your cross humbly, for it is an assured path towards ascent, and you can ease your own burden if you entrust yourselves to Jesus, the bearer of the cross, and appeal to Him for support .... Whatever I impose upon you is not so heavy that you will break down under it .... For I do not burden anyone with more than he can carry, but whether he wants to endure it determines how heavy he deems his cross to be .... The end is near, and that means that every human being's life comes to an end when the last day has come. But many are still far behind in their maturity of soul, and yet they can still reach perfection in a short time if only they seriously want it .... Their souls can still be purified through suffering and hardship, and everyone is offered this opportunity where there is the slightest prospect that it will be successful .... And I take their destiny into My hand and through suffering and sorrow lead them to the goal as long as they merely allow themselves to be led .... as long as they don't offer resistance, thus rebelling against their fate and distancing themselves from Me even further .... Bear your cross with patience, all of you, for it is simply the means used by My love in order to help you, in order to protect you from death, in order to be able to bestow life upon you .... Gratefully accept everything as coming from My hand, for nothing happens without My will, without My permission, and everything that is imposed upon you shall merely lead you to the One Who can help you .... Everything shall lead you to Me, I Am your Father of eternity and thus will also help My children as a Father in every adversity ....

Amen

Law of eternity: love .... divine order ....

B.D. 6150 from December 31th 1954, taken from Book No. 66

There is an eternal law to which you must all submit if you want to be happy .... You can indeed deviate, you can also violate the law, but then you will also give up your bliss, then you will end up in a state where all harmony is annulled .... where you are unhappy. But the law of eternity is called: love .... And now you also know when you break the law .... when you sin against love. Where love is, there is order, harmony and perfection .... and therefore also bliss .... If love is disregarded then everything else will also be destroyed, other unlawful qualities will arise from unkindness, all of which only contribute towards creating a wretched state and giving birth to evil which constantly multiplies and thus excludes all harmony, which is a prerequisite for bliss .... A life against the law of divine order, a life against love, will have an effect in a chaotic state because it never has constructive but always destructive consequences .... until finally this state has reached a degree where these destructive effects become visible .... where therefore a forcible return to divine order takes place, otherwise a chaos which cannot be overlooked would make human life on earth impossible and thus the main purpose of creation .... the maturing of the spiritual in it .... could no longer be fulfilled. God, however, sets everything right .... He restores order as soon as the time has come when the limits are exceeded, since humanity lacks love and has therefore completely stepped out of the divine order. But such a re-establishment of divine order is extremely painful, it requires a hard hand that sets right what has been perverted .... and straightens what was crooked. And those who suffer will be the people who rise up in resistance, who prove themselves to be completely out of order through their lack of love .... These must pass through a purification fire which can still break their resistance before the rectifying act takes place .... or else they will be forced to comply with the eternal order through bondage which they can no longer resist .... Order must be restored for the sake of the redemption of the spiritual .... Love must reign on earth again, harmony and bliss must once more be guaranteed to the inhabitants of earth who subordinate themselves to the eternal law, who thus live in love and intimate union with God, Who is eternal love Himself .... Only the fulfilment of His law releases the spiritual from its bondage .... which, however, closes anew around the spiritual, which violates the law of love to such an extent as is evident before the end of a redemption period .... that spiritually and earthly only chaos can be spoken of, which one day will trigger complete destruction. Once again divine order will be established so that good can attain beatitude and evil will be banished .... For God is lord over heaven and earth, and to Him all that has come forth from Him must bow .... His will must be fulfilled, and His will is love ....

Amen

God's work on people ....

B.D. 6151 from January 1st 1955, taken from Book No. 66

This is My everlasting activity towards you, that you are admonished and warned through My word, which I convey to everyone who does not turn away from Me .... If I want to win you for Myself I must approach you, I must entice you, I must prove My love to you in order to win your love .... and therefore I must address you .... otherwise you do not know about My love and concern for you .... I must prove Myself to you as a father Who has His children's well-being at heart and Who therefore constantly watches over them. And as father I must also warn you of the danger and admonish you to always walk by My side and to cover the earthly path in My company. Everything you should or should not do you must learn from Me so that you will become blessed .... And therefore I address you .... You must receive My word, no matter in what way and in what place .... You must let Me speak to you, which first requires your will to open your ear in order to hear Me. Every person who reads or listens to My word in desire to hear Me Myself will also be addressed by Me, and he will always experience blessings, because My address will never remain ineffective on his soul .... But this first requires the desire for My word .... Anyone who listens to it apathetically or indifferently will never be touched inwardly, instead, only words will reach his ears and he will not feel any strength either. Want Me to speak to you and the blessing will be great .... For I will now also tell you what your task is on earth, I will submit My commandments of love to you .... And if you obey these commandments you will be saved for time and eternity. I only require one thing of you, that you love Me above all else and your neighbour as yourself .... but the fulfilment of these commandments secures you an eternal life in bliss .... But I must also draw your attention to the dangers which threaten you in earthly life .... of the consequences of a way of life which is contrary to My commandment of love .... This is why I have to warn and admonish you, this is why I have to address you and seriously speak to your conscience .... But as soon as you willingly listen to Me, without inner resistance, you already turn your back on the danger. You place yourselves under My protection and now let yourselves be guided by My loving father's hand .... Yet anyone who closes his ear to Me is in great danger, he rejects My company and joins someone else who leads him to an aim which is truly not desirable .... Yet I also speak to him, albeit in a different language, because he shuts himself off from My spoken word .... Nevertheless, I draw his attention to Him Whose power is great and Whom no-one can oppose if He wants to assert His power .... Those too are pointed to Him Who is

lord over heaven and earth, and whether they also want to shake off such indications from themselves .... They will have to answer for themselves, they will have to bear the consequences of their actions and thoughts when the day of judgment has come .... Yet My word will resound until the end, until the end I will speak to people in order to still save all those who listen to Me and heed My warning and admonishing call. And they will truly not regret it, they will recognize the father's voice which they now willingly follow because they also feel the father's love which always and forever applies to His children ....

Communion ....

B.D. 6152 from January 2nd 1955, taken from Book No. 66

So receive the bread of heaven and feast on it .... You will always be fed by Me, you can always receive from Me what you need to mature your soul .... you will always be offered food and drink if you desire it .... whoever comes to Me to take supper with Me will be satisfied at My table, whatever he needs will be offered to him in abundance, he will never need to suffer lack, for My table is richly laid for all and I reject no one, for all of you need strengthening for your soul, all of you can only give life to your soul if you supply it with food and drink, which you receive from Me in abundance .... But no-one will come to Me to take the banquet with Me who does not feel love for Me, for only the soul hungers for the bread of heaven which has shaped itself into love .... And only love drives it to where it will be fulfilled .... to Me, to My table of gifts, where it can receive the evidence of My love, where it happily accepts My word, which is refreshment for it and gives it strength and lets its love become ever deeper .... Anyone who does not love Me is not drawn to Me, nor are My gifts tempting him, for he seeks fulfilment of his desires elsewhere .... He only seeks that which gives his body pleasure, but he does not think about his soul. Without love there is no connection between the human being and Me, thus without love no communion can take place .... Do you understand this? Only love establishes a union .... nothing else .... And a person who has become love also hears My word .... he receives the gifts of My love; to him alone can I give the bread of heaven, to him alone can I feed and water him with My flesh and My blood .... with bread and wine that secures life for his soul .... how could a person deprive My word of its power who is completely without love .... thus stands at a far distance from Me .... How could he receive from My hand what makes him blissful if he does not come to Me .... if he himself, through his lack of love, creates a gulf between us which, without love, is unbridgeable? He must come to My table, to My house, where I distribute My gifts as host. But the path to Me is only ever the path of love .... He must desire Me Myself and I will meet him in order to escort him to My table .... And then he will be able to receive unlimitedly so that he can continue his earthly life strengthened and refreshed, so that he will reach his aim. I will give him bread and wine which alone are nourishment for his soul .... I will supply him with My word, which is blessed with My strength, I will speak to him and give him the truth, I will give him that which alone leads to the aim, which ensures his soul an eternal life .... bread and wine .... My flesh and My blood .... My word, which I Myself have blessed with My power ....

Complete clarification only from God ....

B.D. 6153 from January 3rd 1954, taken from Book No. 66

An immense area will be opened up to you, and thus you will be able, through God's grace, to provide clarification wherever it is required, for in addition to knowledge you will also be given the gift to understand everything yourselves and to be able to explain it comprehensibly .... You will be able to immediately recognize people's erroneous thinking, but you will also be able to grasp the correlations yourselves and therefore refute erroneous opinions. You will receive extensive knowledge and at the same time the ability to recognize, so that you will also be able to utilize the knowledge yourselves as soon as this is possible. What the human being laboriously acquired through long study will be given to you without it, yet far more precisely and revealingly, so that all gaps can be closed which previously made it possible for them to be filled by errors and thus became a danger for the truth of what was presented to people as spiritual knowledge .... For God Himself instructs you and truly so that it becomes light in you. People of intellect will certainly always oppose the knowledge imparted by God with their knowledge because they don't believe a direct working of God to be possible and don't want to accept anything apart from their self-acquired knowledge .... Yet they or their knowledge would not be able to withstand a serious test .... A serious examination would convince them that your knowledge cannot simply be rejected because it harbours profound truths, because they would not be able to close their minds to the logical conclusions which betray a giver Who knows everything and therefore can also provide complete clarification. Yet only a few make the serious attempt, only a few are willing to seriously examine it, and for the most part the spiritual knowledge, which alone has value because it was transmitted to people by God Himself, is rejected as untrustworthy because people value their intellectual thinking and its results more highly, often too highly, in order to soberly weigh all results against each other. Much light could shine for them, but they prefer to grope further in twilight or darkness .... But you, who were allowed to experience God's love and grace because you were willing to listen to Him, you truly possess great knowledge, and you will also be able to make use of it when it concerns questions of dispute which your opponents will raise in order to prove the groundlessness of all faith in God, as well as the unbelievability of ecclesiastical teachings which often give them a point of attack because they are no longer pure truth .... Then you will have to intervene and be able to do so, for they will not be able to baffle you because you are knowledgeable and because you can refute every objection with the pure truth .... although your opponents will not win through it, however many doubters will receive light through you, who will be uplifted by your teachings and are also fully convinced of their truth. The time is coming when extensive knowledge will bring blessings; the time is coming when you will be allowed to proclaim God's work in you .... The time is coming when the truth will break through, when many a person will be shown a path full of light which they will willingly take because they recognize it as the path of truth which will lead them to the right aim ....

Humility .... arrogance ....

B.D. 6154 from January 4th 1955, taken from Book No. 66

Humility is the surest way to reach God, arrogance, on the other hand, is the way that leads away from Him. For arrogance is the share of the one who once fell, who wanted to rule and no longer acknowledged God, who exalted himself above Him and thereby plunged into the deepest depth .... But humility acknowledges God and bows under Him .... it strives towards Him and does not feel worthy of His nearness .... And therefore a humble man finds God's pleasure, He bends Himself down to him and lifts him up, He gives him grace upon grace and continues to help him up .... And so you humans will now also understand that no arrogant person can ever reach the father because he erects a barrier between himself and God .... Although he does not believe himself to be below, he is convinced of his value, so that he can neither ask nor give thanks, both to God and to people .... he feels exalted and therefore goes empty-handed, for he does not ask for mercy nor does he make use of it if it is offered to him .... For he believes he does not need it. And in his arrogance he will therefore receive no grace either .... A humble child pleases the father, but a complacent one has no love for Him and therefore cannot claim the father's love either, which is expressed in the bestowal of grace .... But how rich is a humble person to whom God Himself draws near in His love and provides him with everything he needs .... In humility lies the recognition of God as creator and father from eternity .... In humility there is also the confession of past guilt .... A humble child feels endlessly distant from the father, and it recognizes, as it were, its imperfect state, its unworthiness to enjoy the father's nearness .... But a person who recognizes his guilt, his deficiency, seeks help and forgiveness. He will never arrogantly believe to be right or to walk right on earth .... he will always recognize his own inadequacy and therefore stretch out his hands imploringly to the father that the father may accept His child and have mercy on it .... Thus it recognizes God as its father from eternity, it inwardly turns away from the one who had dragged it down into the depths .... It wants to ascend again, and it will also reach its aim, for a humble person is richly endowed with grace which gives him strength on the way up .... to God, from Whom it once originated but misjudged Him and therefore sinned against God. A humble person will receive grace without measure, but an arrogant person must be denied grace until he relinquishes his arrogance, until he, too, humbly submits in the realization of his weakness and imperfection .... Only the path of humility leads to God .... Only the humble finds grace with Him, for he is close to the father's heart and inwardly fully confesses Him ....

There is no eternal damnation ....

B.D. 6155 from January 5th 1955, taken from Book No. 66

There is no eternal separation from God, there is no eternal condemnation, no eternal death .... For God's infinite love eliminates such, which takes care of every being, which has mercy on every being, no matter how low it has sunk, and which will also never ever leave to His adversary what has emerged from eternal love. Yet there is a separation from God for infinitely long periods of time which, however, is never God's will but the will of the being itself .... thus no condemnation by God can be spoken of either. If the being is so infinitely distant from God then it is its own fault, its own will, and it can reduce this separation at any time, it can return to God at any time because God grants it every help, as soon as only the being itself is of the will to return to God .... Thus the unhappy state is created by the being itself, and the unhappy state consists of the fact that the being lacks light and strength the further it distances itself from God because it rejects God's love, which signifies light and strength for the being .... But God's love constantly endeavours to call the being, which is dead due to its lack of strength, back to life again .... God's love is always ready to radiate strength and light to the being, yet always in compliance with His eternal order, the law, which is based on His perfection .... And therefore the duration of distance from God can be infinitely long for a being .... the term 'eternity' is therefore not entirely unjustified, only a state which never ends is not to be understood by it. But for the being which has separated itself from God there is always the possibility to put an end to its wretched state, for it is never left to itself but is always pursued by God with His love .... Salvation opportunities are always offered to it, and it is always left to its free will to make use of them .... For God's love is unlimited, it is not resentful, it is always willing to help, to save, to make happy and blissful, for it is always His creations which His strength of love once called into being .... and which He will never ever abandon, and whether eternal times pass away .... Yet it is impossible to return a life full of light and strength to a being which closes itself off to the original source of light and strength .... Free will is the characteristic of all that is divine, and to eliminate free will would mean to de-divine the being .... to leave it eternally imperfect and therefore also eternally unhappy .... but an unhappiness that would be God's will .... God, however, wants to provide His creations with eternal happiness and therefore leaves them free will, according to which the being can now determine for itself whether and for how long it keeps itself distant from God or longs for God's love and presence .... Yet no being will ever be cast out from God's presence, for His love is so strong that it will lead everything back to Himself again which once originated from Him ....

"Thou shalt not kill ...."

B.D. 6156 from January 6th 1955, taken from Book No. 66

Those who are wise in the world are not always so when it comes to instructing other people in the divine-spiritual .... There is a difference between how worldly people judge and how God judges, and for the most part worldly prudence will judge in a way that is beneficial for worldly people .... But they do not consider whether this also corresponds to divine will. It can never be in the will of God that the powerful should rise above the powerless, that it should oppress the weak and deprive it of its freedom. God created all people with equal rights and never gave the strong the right to abuse his strength in such a way that he subjugates the weak .... But people's will is free, and the effect of a bad will can and will be directed by God in such a way that it is a blessing for the person concerned .... so that in the end even detestable deeds can have an educational effect and promote the maturing of the soul .... but they can also have a negative effect if the will of the weak person affected is also bad .... Thou shalt not kill .... This commandment was given to you, and you should observe it at all times .... But every human being also has the duty .... to follow this same commandment .... to protect life .... thus also the right to defend oneself or the lives of others, because there will always be people who sin against God's commandments, who abuse their strength, who do not observe human rights and are obviously at the will of the one who is himself an enemy of God .... It is not God's will that an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth should be repaid, that man should repay evil with evil .... For all hatred is to be fought, and man is also to forgive his enemy, if he himself demands forgiveness from God .... But the life of a human being is also a gift from God which should be defended by everyone who is able to do so, because life is given to him for the maturing of the soul and therefore may not be given away lightly .... He is allowed to protect his own life .... he is therefore not held responsible in the case of self-defence .... but he is held responsible if he did not protect the life of others that he could protect .... For then he is just as guilty of their deaths as if he had killed them himself, for the commandment "Thou shalt not kill ...." also includes the care for the life of the neighbour, it is simply a commandment of neighbourly love which must be fulfilled .... always provided that man is capable of protecting the life of his neighbour .... However, in the world the terms have become confused .... Hunger for power, political interests, hostility and unkindness have created laws which overturn the divine order .... Divine commandments remain unheeded, people have been taught false concepts of honour, everything is outside the divine order, and the idea of mutual destruction or weakening can be found everywhere, but hides under the cloak of justice .... Laws enacted by people force them to disregard the divine command .... and no human being holds the life of his neighbour sacred .... They submit to unjust demands, partly forced, partly voluntary; they are careless both with their own lives and with the lives of their neighbour .... They recklessly put themselves in danger and gamble with the lives of others .... They do not know the value of life for the soul .... And that is why they are also prepared to take up arms against their fellow human beings and are not only concerned with defending human life but also with achieving other aims which are always earthly-material and therefore cannot be divinely-willed. The thought of defending valuable life is only found in very few people .... whereas the thought of earthly advantages or favourable effects is predominant .... And the commandment "Thou shalt not kill ...." is unhesitatingly rejected or even invoked only for the purpose of achieving other aims .... But there remains this commandment as a divine word: Thou shalt not kill .... And whoever ends the life of a fellow human being in free will, without danger to himself or others, commits an offence against this commandment, and he will have to answer for it .... And God will judge according to law and justice ....

There is great hardship in the kingdom of the beyond, especially for those souls which have no advocate on earth, which are forgotten by people or have acquired so little love that they are only thought of in displeasure. All these souls have a bitter fate, they are in tormenting darkness and completely without strength so that they cannot help themselves alone and are dependent on help. They reap what they have sown, and their fate is not unjust, it is not undeserved, for such souls cannot expect anything other than what they have acquired for themselves in earthly life, where they were completely without love .... Nevertheless, they shall also be helped, and the love they lack must be offered from another side .... but which I also accept and book for the benefit of those souls .... Whatever love you give to these souls is given to them again as strength which they can now use according to their will. But a soul which receives the supply of strength through your love also knows the purpose for which it receives it, and it is so grateful for the help that it eagerly endeavours to increase the strength .... that it then also uses the strength to work with love. It will never reject a person's love, whereas it often resists the same efforts on the part of the world of light because it has no faith in what they tell it, for the beings of light stand before them in the same condition and are therefore not listened to. But people on earth, especially those who were close to them, achieve much more, for those unhappy souls look up to them because they see the strength of love emanating from them as a ray which is a blessing to them .... You humans have great power over those souls in darkness if you remember them with love .... if you want to help them .... For they feel this and have confidence in you and also listen to you if you reproach them or proclaim the gospel to them. And no matter how stubborn a soul is, no matter how blind and ignorant it may be .... your love changes this state, it immediately understands you if your thoughts are filled with love, and then it also accepts .... Without love there is no progress, on earth as well as in the spiritual kingdom .... without love there is no redemption from the abyss .... And I give the souls in darkness the great grace that the love which is turned towards them from earth is recognizable as light .... as light which gives them hope and never shines in vain .... Those you remember whose adversity prompts you to call for help are truly not abandoned, for what you give to Me through your love for those souls I also pass on and also commission My messengers in the spiritual kingdom to help in a special way .... And it will not be without success. The souls in the kingdom of the beyond are only little thought of by people .... The belief in a continuation of life is not very strong, and that is why the connections are also severed for most people, the concern for spiritual well-being does not occupy them, and only few thoughts follow them .... It is also dark around people on earth, and the souls do not return there where they find nothing that is good for them .... Also remember those souls who are without intercession, call them to you in the will to help them, let your love also radiate into the depth, for a soul will always cling to this ray of light and ascend, and it will come to you from where the light shone for it .... Pray to it what it lacks .... light and paower .... Bring My word close to it and you have already succeeded in bringing it salvation, because My word has such power that it always desires to hear it and will therefore always stay where it is offered food and drink which your love can make accessible to it .... And those redeemed souls will thank you eternally ....

Amen

Change of nature only from within ....

B.D. 6158 from January 8th 1955, taken from Book No. 66

Nothing external has a beneficial effect on your inner life, no formalities can help your soul to mature and lead it to perfection .... Your change of nature can only be accomplished from within, this is why you humans must frequently withdraw into solitude in order to take stock of yourselves and remove whatever is spoiling you, whatever imperfections you still harbour within yourselves .... External sources can certainly draw your attention to conducting this psychological work, you can be taught how to achieve it, what you ought to observe .... what you must avoid because it is harmful and what you should do to become perfect .... but you must accomplish it yourselves and only by means of detaching yourselves from everything external even if you are in the midst of the world and forced to fulfil your duties. Yet this psychological work has to be carried out simultaneously because it is entirely independent of your occupation, for it concerns your inner nature, your faults and bad habits, it concerns the human being's inner life, his thinking, volition and conduct which .... even if it is directed in a worldly way .... ought to emanate love, otherwise a transformation of personality cannot be spoken of.

Hence your psychological work has to consist of refining your thinking and inclinations and of directing them towards divine goals; you always have to make an effort to live a life of unselfishness, selflessness, gentleness and patience, of peacefulness .... You have to develop all good qualities within yourselves and expel bad thoughts and attributes .... And all this requires the sincere will to live correctly before God .... It need not become outwardly obvious, that is, it should not be outwardly displayed .... yet a life in accordance with God's will also always affects your fellow human beings, it stimulates imitation and will always be more effective than many speeches or formal customs which do not yet vouch for an inner change of attitude.

A person can only change if he takes serious stock of himself by thinking about his shortcomings and faults and resolves to improve himself. And this inner change has to be undertaken by every person himself if he wants to reach his goal of becoming perfect. The resolve also has to be followed by the deed or the will is not in earnest .... And from this you can realise again that the attainment of beatitude is not determined by the denomination but only ever by the human being's will to kindle love within himself which totally transforms him, which turns all bad attributes into good ones and which therefore is the only means of becoming perfect .... but which can be practised by all people, irrespective of which denomination they belong to .... All denominations, however, teach love .... this is why all of them can lead to perfection, yet no denomination can guarantee this perfection .... only the human being can achieve it by the serious work of improving himself ....

Amen

Direct revelation of God ....

B.D. 6159 from January 9th 1955, taken from Book No. 66

I can only dictate My word into the pen of a few, because only a few have the will and faith to be addressed by Me. Many would still have the ability to hear Me, because the conditions for this are only: Love and desire for truth .... But the most important thing is to believe that I reveal Myself directly, that I express Myself through My spirit .... and as a result of such faith now the conscious listening inwards .... But people lack this faith and I cannot express Myself audibly despite their unbelief .... I must demand this faith, I must demand that man comes to Me, speaks to Me and expects My answer .... because such is founded in My eternal order .... But why do people not believe that I speak to them? That I prove My nearness, My presence, to them by sending them My word? .... This is a sign that they do not yet recognize Me Myself as I want to be recognized .... that they still look for Me in the distance, that they think of Me more as a God than as a father .... that they also cannot measure My infinite love which seeks contact with their living creations .... It is a sign that I have not been properly introduced to people, that they do not recognize My nature, which is pure love .... Just as on earth a person seeks union with that which he loves, so too I demand .... as the eternal love .... for union with that which has emerged from My love .... This awareness alone would also make the human being believe that My presence now also proves .... that I speak to the one who has intimately united with Me .... Many people do not deny an expression of My presence either, yet they only regard experiences, providence and help in earthly adversity as signs of My presence .... But they doubt a directly spoken word .... And therefore they can never hear My voice within themselves because they don't expect it, because they don't listen inwardly .... because they don't open themselves to My address. And this unbelief prevents Me from manifestly appearing there where love and desire for truth exist .... where it would be possible for Me to express Myself and much blessing could arise from this for humanity, which would believe those revelations more than the revelations of such people who, unknown and completely apart from ecclesiastical circles, establish the connection with Me in such intimacy and believe that I speak to them .... and through this faith thus prepare themselves as a receiving station for My word, which always and forever resounds as the father's evidence of love for His children. They find little faith, and delicious words of life therefore remain without effect of strength .... Delicious spiritual knowledge remains unnoticed and could spread so much light in the darkness of humanity's spirit .... People do not believe the most natural thing, that the father speaks to His children, and therefore they also doubt My infinite love which wants to reveal itself to My children .... They don't recognize My nature, which is only love. But they presume to doubt or reject the expressions of My love .... And this is also done by such people who would be able to receive My word themselves but make it impossible through their unbelief .... And therefore only a few sources have been tapped where the water of life .... the pure gospel, can be drawn .... But I will not let these few sources dry up either, and I will do everything to protect them. I will have the access to these springs guarded by My angels .... I will not allow the fountain of life to be buried by hostile influence .... I Myself will be the guardian of the garden where the spring of the water of life has opened up .... and I will show everyone access to it where they can refresh themselves on the path of their arduous earthly journey, where they can receive delicacies as long as they are of good will and, believing in My love, also want to receive the gifts of love from My hand .... For people need My word which is offered to them in all purity; they need it on the path upwards, they need strength and light which they can only draw from My word which is blessed with My strength ....

Amen

To a right servant the judgement of the world shall be worthless ....

B.D. 6160 from January 10th 1955, taken from Book No. 66

Do not bow to the world's judgment, do not seek its approval but only ever be anxious to find My approval for everything you think, speak or do .... For the world will always want to influence you contrary to My will, the world will always condemn what is pleasing to Me .... the distance from the world and the spiritual attitude .... For this reason only he can be My right servant who gives nothing to the world's judgment, who only acknowledges Me as his lord and only seeks to fulfil My will. And he will also be able to work successfully for Me and My kingdom, for there will always be people who, like him, turn their backs on the world and are open-minded for spiritual speeches and who can only be won over by such messengers who have withdrawn from the world in order to serve Me .... Even though you, My servants, are still in the midst of the world, all desire for the world's goods must nevertheless have died out in you in order to be able to progress spiritually, in order to be able to devote yourselves to spiritual work without hindrance .... For what still belongs to the world is lost to the spiritual kingdom .... It is impossible to pay homage to both realms at the same time; it is impossible to receive spiritual things when your hands are stretched out towards the world .... They are two quite different realms which man's foot enters whenever his thoughts seek it .... Therefore beware of losing your thoughts to the world .... And be even more careful not to attach importance to the world's judgement, for this will always be derogatory even towards the most precious gift .... because it is not recognized by those who still belong to the world. You will indeed have to pass through the world but you can do so with your eyes turned upwards so that your soul will remain untouched by the lure of the world .... But in the same way you can also direct your gaze towards everything that appears worldly enticing to you, then the world will keep you bound and prevent your soul from flying upwards, and then you will be in danger of striving towards a wrong aim. And even if worldly people are dear to you, if you are united with them in love and friendship .... don't let their judgement determine you to deviate from the spiritual path .... Know that they only speak on behalf of the one who wants to wrest you from Me, that they are unconsciously his servants who work against Me Myself .... Recognize their judgment as wrong and only make an effort to teach them better, and if you do not succeed in doing so, avoid them for the sake of your soul .... Stay on the path you took when your soul ascended into spiritual spheres .... Continue to follow this path, for it alone will lead you to the aim, it alone is the path to Me .... Who am not in the world but in the spiritual kingdom, which can only ever be taken possession of by surrendering the world .... Detach yourselves from the world if you want to find entrance into My kingdom ....

Amen

God only can give the truth ....

B.D. 6161 from January 11th 1955, taken from Book No. 66

You visibly recognize My adversary's influence who confuses people's thinking, who teaches them to regard darkness as light, who only ever endeavours to deepen the darkness of night, who wants to deny access to every ray of light and still finds support among people themselves because they close themselves off to the light which My love nevertheless turns to them .... People are ever more eager to untangle the knot and pull it ever tighter .... because they all believe that they can achieve this themselves, but My support is needed for this .... They believe they can fathom the truth by virtue of their intellect .... and they fall further and further into error and lies. It is like a calculation which can never work out because the error is not discovered at the beginning, and this error is that I am eliminated where I alone am responsible .... that I am not approached for the truth, Who is, after all, the eternal truth Myself .... And this is only proof that people seek Me far away, that they have not established the right relationship with Me, that they do not come to the father like children and desire from Him what they themselves lack .... Yet they do not want to admit their lack .... they believe they possess what they lack .... the truth .... And as long as everyone believes himself to be in the truth and yet everyone thinks differently, there is only one path: to approach the eternal truth itself so that it will reveal whether and whose thinking is right .... And people do not take this path, otherwise it would be self-evident that this 'God' gives people what they ask for .... And if you humans are now moved by the question of what truth is .... where you can find it .... which school of thought is the right one .... then submit all these questions to Him Who alone can and will answer them if you believe in Him as love, wisdom and omnipotence .... And every doubt, every ignorance would be taken from you, brightly and radiantly the light would shine for you, which now illuminates all your ways and no longer lets you go astray .... But My adversary persuades you that you yourselves, by virtue of your intellect, are able to fathom the truth .... And thus you argue because he wants it that way, and you never reach the truth, which is always and forever My share but which everyone can receive from Me who comes to Me in faith and who in love desires the truth and asks Me for it .... I will truly not let him go empty-handed .... I will illuminate his thinking and give him unlimited enlightenment, for I want there to be light among men, I want the truth to spread, so that those who are blind will see and the light of day will shine on those who until now walked in the night .... For only the truth leads to bliss, only the truth leads to Me, Who am the eternal truth itself ....

Amen

Excess of grace .... exploiting the same ....

B.D. 6162 from January 12th 1955, taken from Book No. 66

An abundance of grace is at your disposal, because I want to constantly give you light and strength .... Your indifference towards everything spiritual does not let you strive for light and strength of your own accord .... That is why I offer them to you and thus give you undeservedly what you lack, and these are gifts of grace which can be of great help to you for your perfection .... if only you want to make use of them .... For I cannot provide you with light and strength without your will, I can only ever offer them to you so that you yourselves will be inspired to use them for yourselves. Such an undeserved gift of grace is also My word, which is imparted to you humans without your desire .... which can be a safe aid to ascend for you if you let it take effect on you and now live according to My word .... You yourselves do nothing to establish the connection with Me in order to now be able to hear My word .... You walk your earthly path completely indifferently .... you yourselves do not ask for My word .... And yet I convey it to you, yet I pour out graces upon you, I offer you something and want to motivate you to also value it correctly and to draw the benefit from it yourselves for your souls .... It is truly a gift from Me which you do not deserve because you turn away from Me and have, as it were, severed all relationships with Me .... But I am and remain united with you and want to prove this to you through My word .... I address you even though you do not ask for My address .... expecting that one or the other will nevertheless pay attention to My words and turn to Me .... so that he will learn to recognize Me as the most loving being Who also wants to bestow His love upon him .... I distribute My gifts of grace to everyone .... but only those will benefit who gratefully receive My gifts of grace, who let themselves be enriched by My treasures, who don't close their hearts when My word resounds .... Immeasurable wealth will flow to them, they will receive light and strength in abundance, they will enter into contact with Me Myself through My word, which they will then shape so intimately themselves that they will receive the giver of the word Himself into their hearts .... Then they will have made use of the graces and are now on the path to perfection .... they have offered themselves to Me and I now take possession of My property .... abundantly I pour out My graces in the last time before the end .... for I take pity on humanity, which is blind and powerless, and I want to give it what it lacks .... but I cannot force it to accept it .... only always offer it to people .... And blessed are those who do not reject My gifts of grace, for they will find the way to Me .... to eternal bliss ....

Amen

Request for grace ....

B.D. 6163 from January 13th 1955, taken from Book No. 66

Only ever request My grace and it will flow to you without restriction .... For grace is undeserved help, but I grant it to everyone who desires it .... you can call yourselves blessed, you who stand in the light of My sun of grace .... you who seek its glow, for it will strengthen you immensely, it will touch you in the most effective way .... because I only want you to open yourselves in order to be able to give to you in abundance .... You receive what you need in order to ascend because I love you and want to help you to reach Me again. I will not hold it against you that you once forfeited yourselves .... that you rejected My love if only you now turn to Me and request My blessings or gratefully accept them when I bestow them upon you .... only love can bestow graces .... undeserved gifts which mean help for you .... But even love must demand of you that you don't disregard it, that you want to make use of it .... otherwise My grace will never be able to work on you, otherwise it will not bring you one step forward through your own fault. Be satisfied with My grace and one day you will be allowed to receive unmeasured, because My grace alone can shape you such that one day in eternity you will be allowed to receive the unimaginable. But anyone who rejects My grace remains weak and unworthy to receive more, even though he feels strong and exalted on earth .... For his soul is without strength and light and therefore cannot transform itself of its own strength, it requires My help for this, which is therefore given to it in the form of all kinds of blessings. And I truly take its weakness into account, I do not condemn it but am always ready to help .... I don't let you out of My sight, I don't leave you to your own devices but follow all your thoughts, words and actions in order to always turn the grace towards you when you urgently need it .... And it could be easy for you to ascend if only you used all My gifts of grace correctly, if you, constantly asking and giving thanks, acknowledge the one Who loves you and wants to win you for Himself ....

Only connection to God gives strength in the coming time ....

B.D. 6164 from January 14th 1955, taken from Book No. 66

Ever more closely you will have to cleave to Me, for ever more mightily My might and My will will express itself the closer it is to the end .... The whole world will be thrown into turmoil, albeit everywhere by other events .... and it could be that everything that happens makes people take refuge with Me, they could seek comfort and help from Me and through the bond with Me bear everything more easily or reduce all effects .... Yet not everyone seeks the bond with Me, for there is a lack of faith in the power which alone can help and in the love which wants to help .... But I am the protection and shield in all adversity for anyone who intimately joins Me .... and his fate is in My hand .... Whoever closes himself to Me no longer needs to worry from that moment on, for I will take over all his worries .... And many will be pushed towards Me because they get into severe distress, partly due to human-satanic influence, but partly also due to accidents, due to disasters of all kinds, due to fate-related experiences which cause people to become anxious and find their way to Me .... Yet far more people remain unimpressed by all happenings and hardship which I only allow to come upon them in order to change people's attitude. They are only eager to make up for the damage caused as quickly as possible without observing My commandment of love .... At their fellow human beings' expense they rebuild everything My will took from them, for they don't believe in Me and My might and self-love fills their whole being. They will never want to recognize the hand of a God in every experience, rather, they will deny Me, they will not acknowledge a creative God because the all too visible destruction of creations seems to be proof of this to them. They erect a great gulf .... The distance from them to Me is infinitely far, they are still in My adversary's realm who confuses all their senses and thoughts and does not let them come to recognize the truth. Only those who unite with Me in their heart also recognize My eternal plan of salvation, and everything that comes over people in the last days is understandable to them. They stick to Me and will truly not be abandoned by Me, I will hear every call that comes from an anxious heart and I will distribute strength so that My own will not feel too heavy what has to come upon earth for the sake of their fellow human beings .... And it will become evident in them what a deep faith is capable of and what it achieves .... Again and again they will find a way out, again and again they will have the strength to master everything .... For I will not leave them as soon as they intimately unite with Me .... And they will feel My presence and confess Me before their fellow human beings when this confession is demanded of them ....

Spreading the divine love doctrine important ....

B.D. 6165 from January 15th 1955, taken from Book No. 66

Let all your concern be for the spreading of the gospel, the divine doctrine of love .... It is about nothing else but the transformation of people to love .... And they need only know that the commandments of love for God and neighbour must be fulfilled in order to achieve the purpose of their earthly life .... an entry after death into the kingdom of light for eternal bliss .... Although people do not believe in a continuation of life they should nevertheless live a life of love, because this would already provide them with the evidence of what they cannot believe because they lack love. Every person has to admit that his knowledge is inadequate, that he is still faced with unsolved riddles concerning the meaning and purpose of his earthly life as well as of creation .... And therefore every person can only be given the serious advice to kindle love within himself, because then it will also become light and bright within himself, because then many things will become understandable to him which are still incomprehensible to him without love .... Every person should put this 'test to the test' .... and he would not regret in eternity having followed the advice. For only through love can he achieve that which will make him blissfully happy already on earth and one day in eternity. Love is the key to knowledge, love is the key to the gate into the kingdom of light .... love is everything, light and strength and bliss .... This is why only love should ever be preached, which the man Jesus made the content of His teaching when He lived on earth. He knew about the effects of a life of love, He knew about the hardship of people who live without love, He knew about the spiritual darkness which could only be broken through the working of love, because love itself is light which brightly illuminates even the darkest night .... This is why He exemplified a life of love to people and called upon them to follow Him, this is why He sent His disciples out into the world with the mission to proclaim the gospel .... He only ever preached love and thus showed people the right path to truth and life. Humanity is in darkest night, it lives in confused thinking, in error and therefore in spiritual death. It only ever needs to be pointed out to them that their earthly life is pointless if they live without love .... and that they can achieve the highest if they change .... if they only ever think of the one Who proclaimed the teaching of love and also lived it Himself. Darkness grows ever greater the closer it gets to the end because love grows ever colder among people. And therefore everything should be done to bring people onto the right path, onto the path of love, which has to be followed in order to attain life .... People should be encouraged to help where it is needed, to be patient and merciful .... They should be mindful of their neighbour's hardship and not pass it by, they should render loving service to each other, they should endeavour to protect their neighbour from harm and regard him as a friend and brother who is entitled to loving care .... For all people are children of one father .... and for the sake of this father they should also love each other and thus fulfil the purpose of their earthly life, to change their nature, to change self-love into neighbourly love and to provide their soul with the maturity which is necessary for a life in light, for a blissful life in eternity ....

Amen

Freedom of will .... Divine order .... State of compulsion ....

B.D. 6166 from January 16th 1955, taken from Book No. 66

Throughout an infinitely long period of development your soul attained a degree of maturity which permitted its embodiment as a human being so that now, as your real Self, it is aware of itself and able to live its life on earth of its own free will .... admittedly with a task yet not forced to accomplish it. You humans ought to know what free will means for each being .... you ought to know that free will must be left to you because it is the attribute of divine living creations .... During your previous time of development this free will was indeed constrained but only because you had forfeited your divinity yourselves, because you voluntarily strove away from Me, your God and Father of eternity .... and thereby became ungodly .... So I bound your will in order to enable your return to Me .... By constraining your will I was merely helping you so that you would be able to use your freedom of will in divine order again, which was impossible in your previous state of development. Your will once took the wrong path .... I directed it again according to My will .... The spiritual beings took the path of My eternal order in a state of compulsion. Yet it was not intended for them to stay without free will forever because they should become divine beings again, as they were in the beginning, which also irrefutably requires free will. Your existence as a human being is therefore granted to the spiritual being for testing its will .... The past sin of having misused free will must be recognised in a state of free will and through using the will correctly, deification must be attained again .... The being must voluntarily strive towards higher spheres, just as it had once voluntarily fallen away .... Thus, free will is the explanation for many things which seem incomprehensible to you humans .... Although I can certainly always help you and do so in every way .... however, you must accomplish the transformation of your nature into divine living creations yourselves, otherwise you would never be able to attain the degree which is the requirement for deification .... Because I want to gain children, I don't want to equip creatures without will with abilities which they must use according to My will .... My goal is to surround Myself with children who are able to create and work freely, whose will is in total accord with Mine but nevertheless free .... My goal is blissfully happy living creations full of light and strength which strive for their happiness, their light and their strength of their own free will and which, for this purpose, must go through earthly life as human beings in order to pass their test of will .... whom I will certainly always support but never influence forcefully because this would render eternal freedom and beatitude impossible .... I let you keep free will yet I always help you to use it correctly and it will always be possible to arrive at your goal. This is why earthly life is of momentous significance for you, for it decides your state in eternity, which you create yourselves of your own free will ....

Amen

Lack of strength is remedied by love ....

B.D. 6167 from January 17th 1955, taken from Book No. 66

You, who are powerless on earth or also in the spiritual kingdom, you can only acquire strength through working in love .... Your will is and remains free, and by virtue of this will you can now also think and want good or evil .... On earth you can now carry out your will because the vitality is still at your disposal .... In the kingdom of the beyond, however, you are completely without strength to carry out evil deeds, and yet an evil will or evil thinking will be detrimental to you because you will harden yourselves more and more and therefore feel ever more powerless. You can just as well want and think good in the kingdom of the beyond, a spark of love can be ignited in you as a result, and you will already feel in possession of strength, even if only to a small extent .... thus have proof that only love ever causes strength, because it is strength itself. But souls which are unable to think a good thought, which are only filled with hatred and thus also want and think, are badly off if they don't find a helper who imparts strength to them through his love, which has such an effect on the soul that it becomes softer and changes its wanting and thinking. And again, it is love which brings help .... which is the only means to bring salvation to the powerless souls in the beyond, which is why an intercession in love for the souls in the abyss is extremely beneficial and also achieves that these souls change .... so that a prayer of love will never be without success and every soul can be redeemed if only it has left people on earth who remember it in love in prayer. Such a prayer does not remain without effect, for in their agonizing state the souls feel every relief, every supply of strength, and they also know who imparts this strength to them, and now they in turn offer love to the benefactor, and a spark of love, however tiny, ignites and spreads .... The same effect can certainly be achieved on earth that a person's love awakens counter-love .... Yet love can also be rejected because the soul's need is not so palpable as long as the body is not excessively plagued by need .... But it is different in the spiritual kingdom where only the soul still feels, and any hardship in the most agonizing way .... Then it does not reject what it feels as a benefit, and then it is also accessible to the teachings which can be mentally offered to it on the part of people .... and then there is also hope for such souls that their situation will improve, that their attitude will change and that they will finally be redeemed .... because love accomplishes everything .... even the release of a soul from darkness ....

Amen

Faith in Jesus Christ .... reduced suffering ....

B.D. 6168 from January 18th 1955, taken from Book No. 66

There need not be so much misery and hardship on earth if people were more mindful of their saviour and redeemer, Who took the suffering of the whole of humanity on His shoulders and suffered and died for it on the cross .... He bore it for humanity .... but it has to believe in Him and His act of salvation, for only the guilt of sin can be considered redeemed which is carried to Him .... under His cross .... is carried to Him under His cross in faith and hope that Jesus Christ gave His blood so that this guilt will also be redeemed. But anyone who does not believe in the redemption through Jesus' blood is still burdened by his guilt of sin, and he has to make atonement for it himself, he has to bear all the suffering himself which is the effect of his former sin .... Need and sickness, sorrow and suffering .... Jesus knew that humanity had to suffer unspeakably because of its great guilt of sin. And His merciful love took the suffering, the consequence of sin, upon Himself .... He wanted to take it away through His suffering and a most painful death, He wanted to make atonement so that people could become free from misery and hardship .... so that in this freedom they could find their way back to God, from Whom they had once voluntarily separated .... Jesus Christ died for all people .... So all people can take their sins to Him .... They will find forgiveness, they will be released from the burden of their sins because the divine redeemer has taken away all their burdens and placed them on Himself out of immense love .... Yet it is easily understandable that He also wants to be acknowledged as redeemer of the world .... It is understandable that only he who believes in Jesus Christ as the son of God and redeemer of the world will be freed from his guilt .... that only he who comes to Him with his guilt and asks Him to also remember him will find forgiveness, who thus consciously places himself under the cross of Christ in order to let His blood wash away all guilt .... But how do people relate to Him now? Can we still speak of a living faith in Him, in Whom God embodied Himself? Humanity no longer wants to acknowledge Him, except for a few who belong to Him .... Christ's act of salvation no longer means anything to people .... and therefore all remain unredeemed who do not acknowledge Him as He wants to be acknowledged .... And the burden of sin accumulates enormously, people have to suffer from the effects of sin, because divine justice demands atonement from people themselves who do not belong to the host of the redeemed, because they separate themselves from Him, because they do not belong to those whom Jesus Christ redeemed from sin and who therefore do not belong to the redeemed because they do not acknowledge the divine redeemer, thus they do not believe that the eternal love Himself took upon Himself the death on the cross in order to bring redemption to people .... No human being is excluded from the act of salvation .... but anyone who excludes himself cannot avail himself of the blessings of the act of salvation either, and therefore he will not be able to avert a dreadful fate from himself which will certainly await him in the kingdom of the beyond, if it does not already affect him on earth .... For according to divine justice atonement has to be made by anyone who does not bear his sins to Jesus Christ, Who died on the cross for all people in order to redeem them ....

Jesus' name defeats the demon ....

B.D. 6169 from January 19th 1955, taken from Book No. 66

You can charge the demon in My name to leave and you will be free of him .... You have a safe means in the name of your Lord and Saviour which, if it is voiced with utter faith, is extremely powerful against all evil forces besieging you on the instructions of the one who is My adversary. They will have to leave you if you confront them with the strength of My name, for they avoid it so as not to be destroyed .... Hence you need only ever hand yourselves over to the divine Saviour and Redeemer Jesus Christ .... you need only ever call upon Me or want Me to be present with you and protect you against evil and nothing bad will be able to encroach upon you, because My will repels all forces which intend to harm you .... however, always providing that you want to be My Own, that you have the sincere will to attain Me Myself and My favour .... that you therefore consciously strive towards Me .... Admittedly, in that case My adversary will attack you even more fiercely, he will try to push you away from Me by using any means at his disposal and portray his kingdom as worth striving for .... he will approach you under a mask and present what he expects of you as palatable as possible in order to confuse your mind, so that you will believe that it cannot harm you. He will always find the right meant to entice you, yet you will assuredly recognise him as well as his game of deceit as long as you seek a connection with Me .... You should always call upon Me, you should always pronounce the name of Jesus with heartfelt sincerity if you are in doubt or feel threatened by My adversary .... Just don't eliminate Me from your heart, for then My adversary will have an easy game and you will succumb to his wishes ....On your own you are often too weak to resist Him, for this reason you should call for help upon the One Who knows Him and Who is his Lord .... A heartfelt call will liberate you from him, the name of Jesus works wonders if it is voiced with profound faith .... for thereby you call upon Me Myself, your God and Father of eternity, Who will truly not let you fall prey to the one against whom He fights for your souls, if your souls want to attain Me of their own accord ....

Amen

Inner resistance obstacle to receiving the truth ....

B.D. 6170 from January 20th 1955, taken from Book No. 66

My word must be received without resistance when it sounds from above in a person's heart .... The slightest resistance makes the human being incapable of hearing it in its purity, for resistance signifies opposing thinking which gives My adversary the opportunity to slip in, and if he only causes resistance in the human being in order to prevent the receiving of truth. Its strength will not be enough because the recipient of My word consciously unites with Me and his resistance emerges more from his desire for truth .... thus he only resists when the truth appears endangered to him. Nevertheless, this resistance is not right, because a person who unites with Me in order to receive My word should now also completely hand himself over to Me and can be certain that I will protect him from misguided spiritual knowledge. This is why only a few people are suitable to receive My word, because most of them have knowledge which they are not willing to surrender .... This is why it requires strong faith which only accepts as truth what I Myself convey to earth through the working of My spirit .... People who have absorbed certain knowledge which is not in harmony with the word directly spoken by Me are hardly willing to accept the latter, because then they have to transform their whole way of thinking and this requires an extremely strongly developed desire for truth .... It would therefore already be impossible to address these people with My direct word because their resistance would awaken again and again as soon as My word deviates from their previous knowledge and thinking .... and then My adversary would always have an easy game to make people doubt .... And the human being must believe that I Myself speak to him and that every error is therefore excluded. Only then will it be possible to purify a completely deformed teaching again, only then will it be possible to render the opponent of truth harmless. But the more deeply the error is already rooted in a person the more difficult it is for him to detach himself from it, and therefore he would not be able to hear My word directly because all resistance makes such impossible. The battle between light and darkness is particularly fierce where the light wants to break through. And only a strong will turned towards Me will chase away the hostile forces which come from below .... but I will bless such a will and never allow it to be weakened by hostile forces .... But I will also always give the human being the knowledge when he is attacked so that he will arm himself and unite with Me even more intimately .... but to then also be protected against all influence which comes from below. Anyone who then believes that I speak to people need not doubt the truth either, otherwise he would also doubt My love and might which will and can certainly prevent misguided ideas from creeping in and thus endangering the truth .... Yet as long as he doubts, he himself is unable to hear My voice within himself, for this absolutely requires strong faith in My love, My wisdom and My power .... Then he will also know that I want to convey the truth to people .... that I choose the right ways for it and that I will truly protect the person from error who offers himself to serve Me and his fellow human beings ....

Spiritual fare .... perpetrators, not just hearers of the word ....

B.D. 6171 from January 21st 1955, taken from Book No. 66

You are offered spiritual food which can never be compensated by earthly food, for what comes from earth only serves earth again or the lord of the earthly world, but what comes from above also leads upwards, it comes from the spiritual kingdom and shall help you to enter this kingdom as well when you leave the earthly body. Your soul shall be nourished through this spiritual food .... Not that which perishes benefits from it but only that which is imperishable but which nevertheless requires nourishment in order to mature, because it is in an imperfect state but which it can change if it is helped to do so. And this help is the spiritual food which is offered to the soul .... This help is My word, the bread of heaven, the right food for the soul which desires to ascend. You will not find such food on earth, for even that which is offered to you by your fellow human beings as food from heaven will only become such when I bless it for you .... Thus the blessing must come to you from above, only then will you receive the right food which is nourishment for your soul. I must bless it for you .... I must let My strength flow into the word you receive, be it directly or also through servants on earth who want to work for Me .... And only My blessing guarantees you the right food from which you can draw all strength and which therefore helps you to ascend, which helps you to become able to create and work in the kingdom of light according to My will. But how do I bless you with this word of Mine? By letting the strength of My word have an effect on you .... by receiving it with ear and heart and the heart now feeling touched by it, by My word now stimulating you again into deeds of love .... by My word now moving you deeply and your will now becoming active to serve Me and your neighbour with all devotion .... Then you withdraw the power from My word and it has already become effective in and on you .... Then you will not only be listeners but also doers of My word, then your soul will take the path of ascent, it will increase in light and strength, it will become wise, recognize everything and fully consciously strive towards its aim, for it recognizes Me as the only aim worth striving for and wants to unite with Me forever. But it can never attain this realization, the strong will to ascend, if it is not already offered spiritual food, if it is still weak and unable to decide what it should and should not do ..... Then I Myself will give it food and drink, I will give you what you need for your soul in order to first give it so much strength that it alone will be able to ascend .... For its will has to become active, it has to work on itself, it has to be strengthened again and again for this work of the soul, otherwise it would be too weak to achieve only a small transformation within itself. Just as the human being takes care of his body, so do I take care of his soul, and it will never need to live in want if only the human will accepts what I offer .... For as soon as it resists, the soul will remain powerless and imperfect, and it can never enter the kingdom whose gift it does not want to accept. It must be fed and watered by Me if it wants to live .... And therefore it must listen to My word, which is blessed with My strength and which assures the soul an eternal life in light and bliss ....

Amen

Erecting the barrier between people and God ....

B.D. 6172 from January 22nd 1955, taken from Book No. 66

There is no barrier between Me and you which you could not remove so that the path to Me becomes free for you. For the barrier is not erected by Me but by yourselves, and therefore you can also remove it yourselves if only your firm will is to reach Me. A barrier only exists between us if you obstruct your path to Me, Who is love Himself, through unkindness .... if you therefore place something external to Me between yourselves and Me, if you thereby create a kingdom for yourselves which is completely different from My kingdom and which therefore also has to be demarcated .... which sets its own boundaries through the entirely different spheres. Two kingdoms have come into being, as it were, but they can also be united if the sphere of your kingdom aligns with Mine, if that which disturbs My kingdom is abandoned .... thus cannot be tolerated in My kingdom .... When you humans shape yourselves into love and thereby declare that you want to be accepted into My kingdom, then you have torn down the barrier yourselves, then you have surrendered to Me, but not out of fear but out of love .... And then you will have light and strength at your disposal to such an extent that you will be able to achieve everything and thus will have become full of light and strength yourselves .... that you will be able to draw unlimited light and strength from Me and also use them according to your own will, so that no restriction will diminish your bliss but unrestricted activity will make you eternally happy .... Thus there need not be a barrier between us, yet your will determines it, your will itself erects the barrier or tears it down .... But as long as you are separated from Me, as long as something still exists between us which hinders you from coming close to Me, your will is not yet rightly directed, for love has not yet been kindled in you to the flame that every barrier must fall before its embers .... The path of love is always free for you, but unkindness is already in itself an opposition to My love, thus it is also an obstacle on the path to Me. The kingdom which you separate from Me through unkindness is not a kingdom of beatitude; it will not give you peace, there will be no right life in it, it will let in no light and therefore constantly lie in darkness. For light only shines in My kingdom, where the fire of love constantly emanates light but which can only work where it finds no resistance .... Therefore you must remove the barrier yourselves, you must give up all resistance against My emanation of love, you must open yourselves so that it becomes light in you; you must let the flame of love flare up high within you .... you must push towards the source of light, the eternal love, in order to receive light and strength from it .... You must remove all obstacles and come to Me of your own free will .... And My love will receive you and give you bliss .... My love will radiate you with light and with strength ....

Amen

God's mercy before the end ....

B.D. 6173 from January 23rd 1955, taken from Book No. 66

Great is the mercy of God especially in the last time before the end .... And He will still save what can be saved .... He will bestow grace upon grace in order to only reduce the resistance which is opposed to Him on the part of people. He will appear in an unusual way in order to help people who do not take the path to Him on their own. He will also send a ray of love into the deepest depths in order to save souls from the end there too, for with the end an agonizing bondage begins again for the unconvertible. A period of redemption begins again with the banishment of the spiritual, which still opposes Him with undiminished resistance .... And He wants to protect it from this, and therefore His mercy knows no bounds before .... His love remains the same, it wants to save in order to be able to make happy, it wants to win for itself what seems to be lost; but it leaves the freedom of will to its creatures .... So God will not necessarily redeem what still resists Him. Again and again He speaks to people and presents to them what awaits them .... Again and again He seeks to make people aware of the same fate that awaits them in the coming time through events in the world; He seeks to convince them of the transience of all earthly things; He addresses people Himself and warns and admonishes them .... Nothing remains untried that could contribute to the change of will .... but irrevocably the day of the end comes for the people of this earth, which decides the fate of everyone .... And God's justice will take the place of His mercy as soon as the time God has granted the human race for its redemption has expired. Horrible will be the fate of those who do not accept His mercy, who now have to travel the course of development once more, who, after a state of freedom, will again be placed into a state of compulsion from which they cannot escape .... Whoever resists God's love will not be able to resist His power and justice .... Whoever does not listen to His words will feel it in himself what His word proclaimed .... It will be a state of hell from which God's mercy still wanted to snatch the souls .... but whoever did not let himself be seized by His mercy will be seized by the hand of His retribution, and it will truly stretch itself out over all people on the day of judgment .... And it will direct everyone to the right place .... And everyone will truly receive only what he himself strives for .... which was his desire on earth .... God is exceedingly merciful, patient and loving .... but He is also just, and one day the day will come when His justice will pass judgement .... One day will come when life and death will be decided, and blessed is he who can enter into life .... blessed is he who does not fall prey to the harsh judgment, which, however, will irrevocably befall the soul who was not accessible to any instruction, to any grace, who opposed God and spurned His mercy, for these are dead for an endless time ....

Disbelief in the end ....

B.D. 6174 from January 24th 1955, taken from Book No. 66

People do not want to believe that they are so close to the end, they do not want to believe that things will happen which they consider impossible, that a completely new era will begin, a time when completely different conditions will exist among people, a time when there will be peace and harmony .... and nothing reminds us of the battle on earth which precedes this new era. It is also difficult for people to believe in a total transformation of the earth's surface, in a so-called downfall, because they are still in the midst of life and so far removed from the spiritual that the correlations cannot be made clear to them. They do not know that a change, a turning point, has become necessary and that they themselves are the cause of it, precisely because of their lack of faith, because of their completely unspiritual state. The earthly world alone moves their thinking, and this earthly world they consider indestructible .... And yet they will experience it, upheavals will take place earthly and spiritually .... i.e., every earthly destruction has an influence on the spiritual, which likewise experiences a change in its abode .... People will experience what they don't want to believe .... but the belief in it would cause them to change themselves, so that they need not fear what they will experience because it would not be to their detriment .... whereas the faithless people will be affected quite severely without being able to defend themselves, and the end will come ever closer .... The signs are multiplying and everyone could pay attention to them .... The misery will become greater and greater .... people will be startled from their rest .... Every man's mind will be shaken by events of all kinds .... Nature will speak out as a warning to the indifferent .... Fate will often prove cruel, but never without reason .... Everything shall only serve to rouse people from their indifferent state, to turn their thoughts towards the forthcoming, of which they are well aware but do not believe in it .... And they will all be helped to gain faith in an end .... yet no person will receive such obvious evidence that he will be forced to believe the announcements of the end to be true .... Everyone will be able to believe it who follows people's spiritual development .... Anyone who does not just view events in an earthly material way but relates them to people's spiritual state .... anyone who believes in a God at all, Who guides people's destiny .... An end will be more likely for them than a continuation on the same path which can never lead to a good conclusion. An end will come, and good for him who reckons with it and prepares himself to lose his physical life prematurely .... For he will gain more than will be taken from him, and he will not be lost ....

Amen

Life or death .... free will decision ....

B.D. 6175 from January 25th 1955, taken from Book No. 66

You are given the choice to live or to face death .... It is completely up to you which state you want to choose. You can live for eternity .... you can remain in agonizing helplessness, succumb to death, but in the consciousness of your existence feel this death to be extremely agonizing .... Both ways are open to you, the way to life and also the way to death .... And you yourselves determine your fate for eternal times. But to live means to be able to be active in light and strength and to be constantly blissful .... to stand in fullest realization, to know the truth and to be constantly permeated by divine strength of love, which thus ensures eternal life .... Thus you can acquire this life on earth but it requires your willingness to accept light and strength from God and then also to utilize the abundance of light and strength correctly .... to live in such a way as is evident through the transmission of truth as pleasing to God .... Only one has promised eternal life to mankind, and this one said of Himself: "I am the Way, the Truth and the Life .... whoever believes in Me will live for ever ...." He, as Himself the truth, has also shown people the way that leads to life .... He has taught love as the only way to life, and His teaching must .... as emanating from the eternal love Itself .... be accepted and followed if He wants to reach the aim .... to a life of light and strength .... And thus it follows that death also awaits the soul which does not take this path of love; it will eternally remain without light and strength and therefore be eternally unhappy, but through its own fault, for every human being is free to choose life or death, and it only receives what it has desired. Eternal life has to be acquired, it cannot be given to you humans against your will .... But you will be helped to acquire it by being enlightened by God through His word as to what you should do in order to attain life .... If you were completely without knowledge of it, then no blame could be attributed to you when you sink into the state of death .... But you will be made aware throughout your earthly life of what God requires of you .... Every person is made aware of the divine teaching of love .... who does not pay attention to it does not believe in the one Who taught it on earth, and he will never have the life He promised to those who believe in Him. Through his will he deprives himself of the light and strength which are necessary for blissful activity .... And he will enter the kingdom of the beyond without strength when the hour of physical death has come for him .... Then his soul will also be doomed to death because it has chosen death itself of its own free will ....

No one will be blessed without Jesus Christ ....

B.D. 6176 from January 26th 1955, taken from Book No. 66

No one will ever attain beatitude who passes by Jesus Christ, who does not acknowledge Him on earth and also does not make use of His help in the beyond. He stands at the gate to eternity, and He wants to be recognized by every person as his redeemer so that He can guide him into the kingdom of peace and bliss, into which no soul can enter without Him .... And the soul which does not confess Him, which rejects Jesus Christ as it did on earth, which only saw a human being in Jesus Christ and does not want to see more in Him in the spiritual kingdom than a human being like itself, will eternally have to remain outside .... He descended to earth for the sake of humanity in order to open the kingdom of light for them, which His followers can now enter because He Himself is with them and guides them into it .... But no adversary of His may ever enter His kingdom .... and everyone is His adversary who does not acknowledge Him as He is: God Himself, Who embodied Himself in the human being Jesus in order to accomplish the work of salvation for people. No one can appropriate something for himself which he has not acquired himself .... The human being is an inhabitant of the dark world and is bound to it as long as he does not take the path to the one Who is light Himself and gives light to all who turn to Him .... Therefore he must first believe that he can leave the kingdom of darkness with His help, and he must approach Him for help .... He must entrust himself to Him, the divine redeemer Jesus Christ, Who only died on the cross so that He could open the path to the kingdom of light for everyone .... Whose death on the cross was the opening of the gate to the kingdom of light. But no soul will succeed in entering this kingdom if it has not first handed itself over to the divine redeemer. For it had once voluntarily left it, it had closed the entrance to itself by turning away from God .... It must now voluntarily return to God, Who came to meet it Himself in Jesus .... Who took her great guilt upon Himself and made atonement for it. But this sacrifice has to be accepted or it was made in vain for the one who rejects the divine redeemer Himself, who places Himself outside of those redeemed by His blood .... Without Him there is no redemption from darkness, and even if you humans have to languish in it for eternities you can free yourselves from it by remembering Him Who died for you and call upon Him to help you .... And He will accept you, He will introduce you into His kingdom as soon as you have voluntarily surrendered to Him, as soon as you believe in the one Who redeemed you from eternal death ....

Amen

Wide Street .... temptations .... narrow way to the height ....

B.D. 6177 from January 27th 1955, taken from Book No. 66

The road along which most people walk is wide and level, and it leads through beautiful gardens which are walked through with pleasure, it constantly offers variety and will always entice people to linger and savour what seems appealing to the walker .... And he will never need to walk along alone, there will always be people in his company who walk the same path with the same joys and the same hopes as him, because they all only seek worldly pleasures and enjoyments, because they all succumb to the same temptations and therefore one always has understanding for the other's goings-on .... It is the broad road that is trodden by countless people, which only a few avoid in order to walk narrow paths that lead upwards .... These know that the narrow path leads towards another aim, and in the knowledge of this aim they therefore avoid the broad road, which .... unnoticed by people .... and therefore cannot be the right path to the heights. Again and again narrow side roads branch off from the broad road, and messengers will always stand along these roads and offer to guide those who want to leave the broad road and earnestly strive upwards. Only a few will follow their offer, only a few will be able to separate themselves from the broad road of pleasure and lust .... Only a few will respect those who offer themselves to them for guidance .... For wherever a narrow path branches off to the heights, there the broad road offers special pleasures .... there flash so many dazzling lights that the narrow path is overlooked and all strive only towards these lights which lead them ever more astray. This wide road is laid out by the lord of the world, who always sees to it that it does not become dull and boring for its passers-by, and who especially uses all the arts of seduction where the narrow paths branch off upwards. Then the eye remains spellbound, and the person very easily overlooks the side path and falls victim to those arts of seduction. But there are also people who turn away from all these temptations of the world because they recognize their unworthiness and because they pursue a different aim .... to reach God, Who can never be reached by the broad way. And these seek diversions from the broad road, and they gladly and willingly entrust themselves to those who want to lead them upwards. And they also endeavour to entice other people onto the narrow path and hold the right aim up to them and induce them to join them on the path to ascent .... And they will all reach their aim .... They may give up many earthly things, but they receive far more valuable things .... they take possession of the kingdom which offers far more glorious things, but which can only be reached through constant overcoming, but not through earthly pleasures, through worldly enjoyment ....

Signs of rampage before the end ....

B.D. 6178 from January 28th 1955, taken from Book No. 66

If you pay attention to all events around you, you will very soon recognize who rules in the world, and it will also be understandable to you what his purpose is: to draw people ever more into the depths, to prevent them from rightly recognizing .... by preventing them from working in love .... Yet in the foreseeable future his activities will become so obvious that many people will begin to hear and see, for he will drop his mask and proceed without hesitation in a way which all too clearly speaks against him. But these are all signs of the approaching end, in which God's adversary will carry out his despicable nature, in which all the forces of hell are released which influence people on earth, so that he will find countless followers who do everything he wants .... who harm their fellow human beings in every way without hesitation .... who even don't shy away from handing their fellow human beings over to death because they are completely under satan's spell. But this is announced a long time before, so that people will recognize the time in which they live. But the day is coming when he will be bound, when an end will be put to his atrocities, when he will be deprived of all his power and bound so that he will no longer be able to do harm .... The day is coming .... of which the people who suffer under his rule shall also remember, for they shall have redemption. But they, too, should remember that the day of retribution will come who make themselves subservient to him, for they, too, will have to share his fate, because their will alone let them become his servants and they will have to answer for this will. And as long as injustice outrages you, you yourselves need not fear that he could harm you. For as long as your will still strives for good, you are not under his control. Everything that violates the commandment of love is his work, even though it is veiled from the eyes of fellow human beings .... Make an effort to always think and act justly, and you will be clairvoyant and clairaudient towards the measures which are enacted under the guise of justice, for he who wants to corrupt you also knows how to disguise himself .... But he will not achieve anything with those who strive towards God and try to live according to His will, for they see through his game and turn away from him, they remain sincere and righteous, and they also do not allow themselves to be misled .... But the limits of his rage on earth have not yet been reached .... The measure must first become full, which then results in a banishment that makes any further activity impossible for him ....

God's references to the transience of earthly goods ....

B.D. 6179 from January 29th 1955, taken from Book No. 66

The transitoriness of the earthly-material must first be made comprehensible to the human being before he turns to that which is imperishable. Earthly life fills his thoughts because it confronts him with tasks and the fulfilment of duties which will always occupy his thoughts .... And he would be insatiable if everything lasted, because then he would be able to constantly increase his possessions and there would then be no limit to his desires and cravings .... But since matter is transient, he is thereby constantly forced to be active in order to achieve these goods, which can indeed also take up all his thinking but also leaves open the possibility that transience teaches him to think differently .... that it can seem useless to him to use all his vitality only for these goods .... that he has a desire for goods which are imperishable. Only the realization of the worthlessness of earthly possessions can cause him to strive for spiritual possessions .... or else to chase ever more after the transient because it has no permanence .... And even if earthly possessions remain with the human being and he can constantly increase them without them being taken away from him, the thought of death is always a reminder to him that he should detach himself early from that which he nevertheless loses through death .... So everything in life is arranged by God in such a way that the human being can very easily learn to despise the world and its goods and mentally enter another world .... But his thoughts and will are not necessarily directed towards this other world .... man is free to choose which world he allows himself to be captivated by .... And earthly goods will mostly exert a greater attraction because they are tangible and visible, whereas spiritual goods leave little impression because they are supposedly of too little value .... and will only have value for people if they are able to easily detach themselves from earthly goods. If every person were to consider that the very next day could be his last, then all earthly goods and their acquisition would seem completely pointless to him and he would make somewhat more provision for the time after .... But they reject every thought of death as 'still premature' and only enjoy the earthly world and its goods. That is why the closer the end is, the more death is brought before people's eyes .... People are torn out of the midst of life in order to repeatedly point out the transience to their fellow human beings, in order to repeatedly turn their thoughts towards their own demise .... It is so obviously shown how little security each individual may have with regard to his own life .... and again and again possessions are destroyed, earthly goods fall victim to the various catastrophes .... People are always and everywhere pointed to the real, permanent life which everyone can attain if he seriously wants to .... if he strives for spiritual goods which even death cannot take away from him, which will follow him into the kingdom of the beyond when the hour of his passing has come .... Every person should strive for spiritual treasures, then even death will not frighten him; then he will also have become victorious over death, because eternal life awaits him in the spiritual kingdom, which will make him unspeakably happy and last for all eternity ....

Voluntary return to God in love ....

B.D. 6180 from January 30th 1955, taken from Book No. 66

I want to accept all of you, if only you come to Me of your own accord. I truly do not want to reject you, for I await you full of love, and My aim is that you unite with Me eternally .... Therefore I Myself will also come to meet you as soon as I only recognize the will in you that you also want to come to Me. You have been distant from Me for an endlessly long time already .... and you will remain so for as long as you yourselves do not desire My closeness, for the desire to approach Me must come from you .... I Myself am always ready to accept you, yet My will, My love for you is not decisive for the bond between us, but your love must push you towards Me, for you once surrendered love, you renounced love, while My love for you remained the same unchanged. So I did not push you away from me, but you yourselves strove away from Me .... And so you must strive towards Me again of your own accord, and you will find no resistance from Me but only ever greater support .... precisely because I love you and long for your return to Me. If you now know that I pay attention to every impulse in you which is meant for Me, then you can also confidently raise your hands to Me, for you only need to want Me to accept you, and you can already feel seized by My loving father's hand which now guides you on the right path .... Only your will must be directed towards Me, then you can also believe with conviction that you will reach the aim .... the connection with Me. For I only need this will of yours in order to direct everything in such a way that it is conducive to your beatification .... But this will must be serious, not only expressed through words .... because I see into your heart .... Do not forget that your purpose of earthly life is only the connection with Me striven for in free will .... Do not forget that I am always ready to draw you to me, that you only have to declare your readiness to Me likewise .... But then you can be unconcerned .... you will reach the aim, you will fulfill the purpose of your earthly life .... For then you will have taken the path that leads to the father's house, to the eternal home, which you once left voluntarily and therefore must now voluntarily return to, in order to now be eternally blessed in My vicinity ....

Amen

God's father love .... orphans ....

B.D. 6181 from January 31th 1955, taken from Book No. 66

I will truly not leave you orphans who give Me your love. As father I take care of you, and standing in the father's protection you can travel your earthly path without worry, for I will always walk by your side and protect you from every danger .... Anyone who walks by the father's hand need not worry whether he is walking correctly, he feels secure in His guidance because he trusts the father completely .... And I am your father from eternity .... the father's love is for His children, wherever they may dwell .... and if they are far away, the connection with them nevertheless remains, because My love always follows them, even if the child is not aware of it .... But those who voluntarily remain with Me, who only ever respect the father's will, who love Him and therefore want to love (live) to please Him, I also outshine them with My love and they need never ever feel lonely, as orphans whom no-one takes care of .... They are My children and all My love is also meant for them .... Just believe that you can entrust yourselves to Me like children, that I hear your every word, that I know your every worry and have the power to guide everything for your good if you pray to your father like true children, if you lose all shyness and come to Me with a humble heart, if you yourselves see your father in Me and also give Me your love .... Remember, you possess the love of the highest and most perfect being, Which surpasses everything in power and wisdom and love .... And you can make this being inclined towards you, this being lovingly bends down to you if you call it as father .... if you childlike trustingly throw yourselves into the father's arms .... And therefore you can truly make earthly life easy for yourselves if only you always trust in your father that He will guide and protect you on all your paths. And the stronger your trust is, the more naturally you will be granted what you ask for .... For you are not orphans, you are My children .... You need not go through earthly life without guidance because I Myself want you to let Me walk by your side, because I Myself want the connection with My children which, however, you alone can only establish if you voluntarily join Me, if you feel like true children and don't want to go any way without your father .... Who has loved you from the beginning and will love you for all eternity ....

Amen

Working of the adversary: defence against God's word ....

B.D. 6182 from February 2nd 1955, taken from Book No. 66

The fact that people reject God's word is understandable because God's adversary can influence them as long as they strive for his kingdom, thus, through their desire for earthly goods, he grants them the power over themselves which he uses to good effect by influencing them against everything that is true, full of light, good .... so that they also oppose the word of God, which, however, is the most valuable thing on earth they should strive for .... The earthly world is still the adversary's sphere of power from God, for it consists of that which has fallen away from God, of that which is bound in the earthly creations, in matter, which is still willingly turned towards God's adversary but cannot be forced by him to fulfil the adversary's will. But the human being in the state of free will is a suitable object for him, which he now tries to make submissive to his will. For he wants the latter to turn fully and completely towards him again, to express his opposition to God anew .... And since the human being is still weak-willed, since he has not yet firmly decided in favour of God Whose kingdom he does not see, he entices him with his kingdom, which is far more attractive to people because everything is placed before their eyes .... But through God's word they are made aware of the transience of earthly things .... through God's word they are reminded of the effects a way of life can have if it is used rightly or wrongly .... through God's word the human being is warned and admonished .... And he can easily reach his aim if he makes the word of God the guideline for his thoughts and actions .... But the adversary of God tries to prevent this in order not to lose what is his .... He knows that God's word, as the eternal truth, also has the power to influence people correctly and that they will then finally be lost to him. For this reason all his efforts are only ever aimed at preventing people from receiving the divine word, and therefore he instils a feeling of repulsion in them and they listen to him because at the same time the world lures them with its goods .... Anyone who has already detached himself more from matter is more likely to turn his attention to the spiritual kingdom, and he is also more likely to let himself be captivated by the word of God .... even if he does not consciously desire the kingdom of God at first .... but he accepts without resistance, and then it will not fail to make an impression on him either, because the word of God contains the strength within itself as soon as resistance is abandoned. In the last days every single soul will be fought over and God's adversary will have the upper hand because people will grant him this themselves, because they are materialistic to such an extent that everything spiritual will fade away for them, that they will not examine it first but already want to know nothing about divine-spiritual matters because then they would have to put the world aside .... which, however, is infinitely more important to them .... And yet the word of God is the only salvation for people because it enlightens them and at the same time gives them light and strength .... yet the freedom of their will is not touched, and therefore the human being himself decides to whom he turns .... And thus he also creates his own lot in eternity ....

Amen

Commandment of love ....

B.D. 6183 from February 3rd 1955, taken from Book No. 66

I only ever give you one commandment: love one another .... With love you will master everything, and through love you will be in contact with Me, I will walk beside you and guide you forever. To fulfil the commandment of love is the surest guarantee for a life in My order, for then everything you do will also be blessed by Me, because then you will not be able to do anything which displeases Me, which contradicts My will .... And so, if you live according to My will, this life of yours must also be orderly, it must bring you earthly and spiritual success .... the body and the soul must be able to be certain that My love will take hold of them, that they will attain peace and harmony .... on earth already and one day in the spiritual kingdom .... For love is the law of eternity, and if the human being lives in love he enters the eternal order .... he is no longer in opposition to Me but in communion with Me .... And My presence also guarantees an orderly way of life .... because all disorder, everything negative, everything inharmonious .... is only to be found where, through a life against My eternal order .... through a life without love .... all harmony is disturbed .... where I Myself cannot dwell .... Love is not recognized in its value, people disregard what could make them exceedingly happy, and they often create a hardship for themselves which need not be .... they deprive themselves of the light and strength they could easily acquire through working in love .... Although it is not so obviously recognizable so as not to cause people to work in love for selfish reasons .... because then the effect would certainly fail to materialize. Yet anyone who has shaped himself into love will become aware of the light and strength which now make him happy, for he no longer fears earthly adversity, he is certain of My help in every situation in life, for he has gained strong faith in My love and My might through the working of love, and he hands himself over to Me without hesitation Whom he feels close to him .... he lives with Me and is always aware of My presence and therefore also permeated by strength which no longer lets him fear anything, no matter what may come .... because he knows that he will overcome it together with Me and is never ever abandoned by Me .... But only a person shaped towards love has this inner certainty and the strength of faith .... And therefore My constant exhortation to you is: Shape yourselves into love .... work on yourselves so that you can meet all people with love .... Put away all impatience, all resentment, all feelings of hatred; give love to all your fellow human beings; help them if they need your help; be just and peaceful, merciful and gentle, even if they do not show you the same love .... Understand and forgive .... for the unloving man is sick in his soul, and he must suffer greatly from this sickness .... Set yourselves free from it, for this is the work you must do yourselves, which no one else can do for you .... But this work on yourselves brings you great blessings .... on earth already and one day in the spiritual kingdom ....

Amen

Call of the light beings .... executors of God ....

B.D. 6184 from February 5th 1955, taken from Book No. 66

Only ever entrust yourselves to the world of light, i.e., connect yourselves in thought with all good spiritual beings who are connected to Me, and you will also be taken into protection by them, for they only act in accordance with My will and are allowed to approach all people who endeavour to live in accordance with My will, who therefore already belong to Me in terms of will and who therefore belong to the great community who serve each other in love .... Your request for help shall always be directed to Me .... but if you know that the inhabitants of the world of light are merely the executors of My will, then you ask nothing else of them than you ask of Me Myself .... that I take care of you and thus instruct My servants to guide you on earth. The beings of light are always willing to help you but they will not do so if you ignore Me, if you call in a kind of superstition to those of whom you don't even know whether they are My servants, whether My strength and My will work through those you call. But as soon as you are intimately united with Me you will, as it were, also be seized by My messengers of light, and you need only trustingly hand yourselves over to them in order to also experience their help, which they provide for you in My will, with My approval and on My instructions. Only I must always be your aim .... Then the beings of light will push you ever more towards Me, they will help you to reach your aim, for all their love also belongs to Me and their work is aimed at guiding the souls to Me .... which you testify through your devotion, so that they will now take hold of you and guide you such that you will safely reach your aim. The awareness of having handed yourselves over to good spiritual forces will make you calm and secure, and you will not need to fear any weakness, for they will flow through you with the strength they receive from Me, they will hand out where there is a lack because they are abundant in light and strength and because love urges them to help the weak. Do not trust in your own strength but confess your weakness to those who are strong and ask them for their help after you have assured yourselves of My love and grace through your prayer .... turn your eyes and your thoughts only to the kingdom where I reign and from that kingdom what you need will come to you, for I have instructed My angels to serve you who are Mine by your will to serve Me and to be active for Me and My kingdom .... And they will serve you if you entrust yourselves to them ....

Amen

The correct use of time on earth ....

B.D. 6185 from February 6th 1955, taken from Book No. 66

Earthly life is but short yet time in the beyond is infinitely long .... Hence you humans should use this earthly time well, you should accept every difficulty and utilise all your strength for the salvation of your soul. You should renounce all comforts of life and with your rejection ensure your claim for spiritual wealth which determines your fate in eternity after the death of your body, which is the only beneficiary of earthly possession but may not keep them forever. Compared to eternity earthly life is but a moment and you should not consider this moment so important .... and yet consider it extremely important for your soul .... thus constantly evaluate it spiritually. Although during your time on earth you have a concept of time by which your days and years appear to be long .... but consider that infinite periods have already preceded this earthly life and eternity will follow .... You, however, are only conscious of your lifetime on earth and therefore it means everything to you.

Nevertheless you know that your body has to die .... you know, that everything earthly is transient, you know, that everything your body had found indispensable and gave it a sense of well-being cannot be of any use to you after your death. Therefore consider this first and consider what to expect after the death of your body .... You can prepare an extremely wonderful existence for your soul during your earthly life but also a state of agony and darkness .... Time and again you are told that you will live on .... You are not without knowledge of this even if you don’t want to believe it .... Consequently consider the possibility and make provisions .... Live virtuously on earth and don’t set your heart on material things which, after all, will be taken from you again .... Don’t consider the body at the expense of your soul .... First care for your soul then your body won’t go short either, but don’t let your thoughts move into the wrong direction and let the soul go short because of the body. For your soul is your true Self, the Self which is immortal and one day can be blessed if you work for and accomplish this bliss on earth ....

The happiest hours on earth pass like intoxication, earthly pleasures don’t make you happy forever, earthly life slips by fast .... but you cannot avoid your fate in eternity and that will correspond to your life on earth .... Eternal life or spiritual death .... you alone choose the conditions for yourselves in eternity because it is up to you what kind of life you live on earth. Evaluate your earthly life correctly .... so that it leads to the maturity of your soul and is not just used for the well-being of the body .... because you only stay briefly on this earth yet eternity is infinitely long ....

Amen

Power surge through God's address ....

B.D. 6186 from February 9th 1955, taken from Book No. 66

When I speak to you humans then strength flows to you which is indescribably effective even if you don't feel it physically. For I only speak to the soul, I speak words which are helpful to your spiritual life, and the soul which is willing to listen to Me feels it. The strength you receive is likewise of a spiritual nature, thus it can hardly be felt by the human being's senses, yet the soul matures and in a shorter time the more often it lets Me speak to it. And the fact that it is not so obvious to you humans is due to the fact that a perceptible benefit, a noticeable progress of the soul could cause it to imitate Me out of selfish motives, out of calculation, and would therefore remain unsuccessful. My word must be listened to of its own free will, the human being must be inwardly driven to it, he must long for My presence and only want Me to speak to him out of love for Me .... He must not be stimulated by promises or successes which he can control himself and his striving would be worthless for the soul. Yet you receive unmeasured strength, even if you as a human being cannot prove it, for My address is the expression of My strength of love which therefore has to flow over to you. I can only tell you that your soul, which is touched by My strength of love, will be blessed beyond measure, for something spiritual flows down to earth in order to make it happy. But all these words would be empty words if the effect could not be recognized in the human being's nature .... which is permeated by My spirit of love, thus it can only be called a spiritual effect again but does not cause a physical change .... which would be visible evidence again which I do not give because of the human being's freedom of will. But this is why so few people desire My word, because it does not bring them such benefits which they can see and grasp .... This is why they lag behind in their spiritual development and only strive for what seems desirable to them because it lifts their physical life .... They lack love for Me, which alone would make them desire My address .... And thus they miss out on much, and their souls are starving, they are without strength and light and yet could be so abundantly supplied with light and strength .... But people's will is free .... but I will never stop speaking to those who love Me .... And they will be allowed to receive much strength and one day be able to create and work in the spiritual kingdom, as is their destiny ....

Amen

End of a redemption period and beginning of a new ....

B.D. 6187 from February 11th 1955, taken from Book No. 66

The end of humanity is soon to come .... A period of redemption has expired, a new epoch is beginning, a new kingdom will be established on this earth which will receive a new appearance through completely new creations as well as a new human race which is completely different in its spiritual maturity than the people living on earth now are. A turning point is coming .... spiritually and earthly everything will be transformed when the new era of redemption begins .... For everything will be restored to its order, which corresponds to My law from eternity .... How often have I foretold this to you humans, how often have I explained to you the reason for what is to come and how often have I warned and admonished you against a wrong way of life .... so that you should understand the seriousness of the time .... And you don't listen to My ideas because you don't believe in them. But your unbelief does not prevent Me from carrying out My will, for My plan has been fixed since eternity because it is only based on your beatification and because I well know what serves you. The human race of the present time will no longer change, only some will believe My words and endeavour to live according to My will, but the whole of humanity has reached a stage where the fall into the abyss could no longer be stopped if I did not prevent it through a final act of salvation, which certainly appears to be a work of destruction but only ever destroys the external form .... but the spiritual being bound in it is given the opportunity to ascend from the abyss again, on a path which is extremely painful but leads safely upwards .... whereas the fall into the deepest abyss excludes this possibility .... It is a tremendous event you humans are facing .... Your life will come to an end on this earth .... but you can certainly continue to live on the new earth in your same body form .... if you belong to My own .... But you can also suffer earthly and spiritual death, that you are no longer conscious of yourselves, even though you still exist and have to remain banished in hardest form for endless times until you are given life again as a human being on this earth .... But My own include all who believe in Me, who seek intimate contact with Me through their will and their love .... who acknowledge Me as father and want to be My children .... who therefore stand by Me in will and therefore may also experience My protection and My grace in the last time before the end .... All who confess Me before the world belong to My own .... These will live and need not fear the end, they will live a blissful life as inhabitants of the new earth if they are not called away first into My kingdom, which is not of this world, where an eternal blissful life awaits them .... But a dreadful fate awaits people who are without faith and have no love .... They cannot but be considered just, they will reap what they sowed on earth, they will receive what they aspired to .... Matter will bind them, which they desired with all their senses, and endless times they will have to languish in it until they will be redeemed again ....

Amen

"Taught by God ...." good teachers ....

B.D. 6188 from February 13th 1955, taken from Book No. 66

I want to take you into My school, I want you to learn from Me, I want you to become wise and be able to teach your fellow human beings again in My name .... And I have good teachers who instruct you, who work according to My will and supply you with the knowledge you need in order to likewise be able to teach, for it depends on this that the knowledge you are to impart to your fellow human beings corresponds to the truth. Whatever you receive from Me directly or through My representatives must also correspond to the truth, because it originates from the eternal truth .... And therefore you, who receive the knowledge through the spirit, can also be convinced of its truth, even if I don't speak to you Myself but let My messengers of love and light speak to you, for they, too, cannot give you anything but truth because they are entirely permeated by My light of love. Such a word is by no means less valuable, and you are always taught by God, because I watch over My disciples that no foreign or wrong teaching material is conveyed to them. And thus you can also safely and with full conviction represent everything to your fellow human beings, you need not fear spreading misguided ideas if you pass on My word .... For as soon as you make yourselves available for spiritual work, as soon as you are thus active in the work for Me and My kingdom, all your thoughts will be directed in the right direction, for then you will be in My school where all My teachers can influence you and truly prevent other forces from intervening which mislead you .... Just always want to be taught by Me, then error will never ever be able to be presented to you .... And this certainty should also accompany you in all conversations you have in the spiritual realm .... For then I Myself will be with you, and then you will be able to speak nothing but the truth, because it is your will to be active for Me and because you yourselves are already so permeated by truth that error will no longer find room in your thinking. Your will has led you into My school .... And therefore I will now also ensure that you receive the training which will enable you to become teachers for your fellow human beings again. For it is My will that light be brought into your world of thought .... My will is that the truth shines brightly and displaces error .... I Myself can only let the light shine through you earthly children, if people's free will is not to be coerced .... And where this free will lets My light of love and wisdom shine in, there it can work for the blessing of fellow human beings, for there I Myself work through those people .... and I protect them from wrong thinking for the sake of truth ....

Amen
