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.

God gives truth to those who desire it ....

B.D. 7912 from June 7th 1961, taken from Book No. 83

Trust Me that I will truly not leave you in error if you seriously desire the truth from Me. You must have this trust in Me and then you will also have the most certain guarantee, for thereby you will demonstrate a strong faith in Me which I will never let go to waste .... I, as the eternal truth Myself, also want My living creations to live in truth, and therefore I will not tire of conveying it to them, because My adversary's activity is and was to keep the living creations in darkness so that they will not be able to recognize Me in My love, wisdom and might .... You must know that it only ever concerns whether you find your way to Me in earthly life or not .... My adversary does not want to release you; but if you recognize the truth then you will detach yourselves from him and strive towards Me, Whom you can only recognize through truth alone .... And therefore he seeks to withhold the truth from you, he seeks to prevent you from receiving the truth; he will always appear where the truth is conveyed to you from Me, and he will try everything to prevent or invalidate it. And since I love you and My love will never ever abandon you, I will not let you pass away in spiritual darkness if you yourselves long for the truth, for the light of realization .... And you will also be able to recognize the truth as such if only you are serious about coming into possession of it. If you desire the truth then you also desire Me Myself, and I will always fulfil such desire. Therefore it is wrong to say that you have no guarantee to stand in truth .... it is wrong to say that no human being will fathom the 'truth' .... Although it will not be possible for him with human intellect, if he turns to Me Myself, to the eternal truth, then he will also be able to be certain that he will receive it, for I Myself will convey it to him because he has approached Me Myself with the request for the pure truth. Trust Me and truly, your thinking will be right, you will recognize the truth as such and reject error, because then I will not let you walk in error if you desire the light of truth. But also seriously ask yourselves once whether you desire the truth .... You must ask yourselves this question because you can also call knowledge your own which you are not willing to give and which nevertheless does not correspond to the truth .... Seriously ask yourselves the question whether you desire truth .... And do not be too sure that you already stand in truth .... If you desire the truth, then only turn to Me with trust .... free yourselves from all previous thoughts and now let yourselves be taught by Me. And if you were thinking correctly before, then the spiritual knowledge will also be imparted to you again, only now you will be able to represent it as 'truth' with conviction, because you have now received it from Me, because you desired the pure truth .... You should not feel too certain of right thinking as long as the intellect is still preaching, as long as you accept knowledge from outside which you have acquired through study .... And it is and remains a dead knowledge which you cannot yet represent as truth until you request the truth from Me Myself .... Only then can I enlighten your spirit, only then will your ability to judge be strengthened, and only then will you move into right thinking, into truth, which only I can and will impart to you if you seriously desire it .... For you first have to be in intimate contact with Me Myself so that I can express Myself through the spirit, which now introduces you to all truth, as I have promised you .... Therefore entrust yourselves to Me and believe that you will truly be taught correctly and that the error emanating from the prince of darkness, who fights against the truth because he wants to darken the path to Me for you humans, will now become obvious to you .... But I will always help you to the light if only you seriously desire it ....

Amen

Opponent's attempt to extinguish the light ....

B.D. 7913 from June 8th 1961, taken from Book No. 83

You need not fear the adversary as long as you entrust yourselves to Me with complete faith, for he has no power over you if you turn to Me, if your will belongs to Me, if your striving is spiritually directed. He will only ever try to dissuade you from this striving but then you will always receive the strength from Me to resist him, for his power is broken .... he can certainly tempt you but not force you as long as you strive away from him. Only then is there danger for you if you turn to the world, if you pay attention to the kingdom which belongs to him, if you put Me back and then grant him power again which he will use in every way. Yet you who want to belong to Me need not fear him, only you should be on your guard, for he knows how to present the world with its charms to you again and again .... And thereby he wins many people who have not yet joined Me, who still regard life as an end in itself and know nothing about their actual task in life on earth .... The battle will continue between light and darkness .... Wherever the light shines there will always be demons who want to extinguish the light, for they are driven by their lord to fight against the light, to confuse people's thinking, to spread shadows where My light of love shines .... But the light is stronger, it will break through and chase away all shadows. And where I Myself have kindled a light, there the guardians also stand ready and protect it from going out, they also protect it from every dimming, they ensure that it can radiate its glow without being hindered .... Where I Myself am at work, where I reveal Myself, there truly no opposing force will achieve an obscuration, for a great act of salvation still has to be accomplished for which My light is necessary, because it shall illuminate the path for people who still want to find salvation before the end .... And where I Myself work through My spirit there will also be no lack of evil spirits who find My light unbearable and therefore want to extinguish it; but the brilliance of the light which I Myself have kindled is so strong that these evil spirits will flee .... And you should always be certain that I have the power and also the will to protect the light from all dimming, for it shall shine brightly into the night, it shall chase away the darkness so that everyone will recognize the path he has to take and which cannot be found in the darkness of night. I Myself kindle the light for you people who are of good will .... I Myself send you bearers of light whom you only need to follow and who will also guide you along the right paths on which you will reach your aim. And therefore don't fear the adversary if only you always have Me as your aim .... For he can only work where he finds people who are in bondage to him .... But anyone who wants to escape his power will also be protected by Me, the path will be shown to him and then he will safely walk under My protection ....

Amen

Love for neighbour: Help in spiritual need ....

B.D. 7914 from June 9th 1961, taken from Book No. 83

I have given you a commandment to love one another .... And this also means that you should patiently bear the other person's weaknesses, that you should help him in every adversity of body and soul. For the weak need the strong for support, and therefore your intercession should also be for the weak so that he receives strength to walk according to My will .... Therefore you should also take care of your fellow human being's spiritual hardship by giving him strength through good thoughts and prayer, which he needs for his spiritual progress. Anyone who has the grace to directly receive the bread of heaven, the water of life, from Me should first give it to the weak person, for then he will also directly impart the strength to him which will beneficially touch his soul. Then the weakness will also give way, he will become strong in spirit, he will constantly demand to receive food and drink from Me, and you will have accomplished the greatest work of love for your neighbour, which will have an effect for all eternity .... Only love will ever achieve this, the will to help people in every adversity .... And then you will also prove your love for Me, for you know that every soul is dear to Me, that I want to win it for Myself and that I bless everyone who helps Me to win a soul .... Thus I value the work for Me and My kingdom particularly highly because souls which once separated from Me are brought to Me again as a result .... And the work for Me and My kingdom consists of supplying people with My word, of remedying the spiritual hardship they are in by supplying them with My word, of supplying strength to the souls because they are weak and need strength. However, this work for Me and My kingdom will only ever be carried out by people who have a heart willing to love, otherwise their fellow human beings' adversity would not touch them .... Therefore, no person who voluntarily works in the vineyard can be denied love either .... unless he seeks worldly reward, honour and glory and earthly goods. But these labourers are not in My service, they still serve the world and the one who is master of this world .... My servants, however, are called and chosen by Me Myself, and thus as long as they selflessly serve Me they are driven by the love within themselves which is meant for Me and their fellow human beings. And since people's spiritual hardship is evident they fully commit themselves to bringing them help which consists of spreading My word into the world, of proclaiming My gospel to people, which I Myself commissioned them to do. Thus they serve Me and their neighbour and thereby prove their love for Me and their neighbour .... But I also know what you humans need who are still weak .... I know what kind of nourishment gives you strength and what My servants therefore have to offer you so that you become healthy, so that your soul matures and takes the path back to Me from Whom it once originated .... And therefore I Myself convey the right nourishment to earth, and it is blessed with My strength. I come to you Myself in the word, I offer Myself to you as nourishment .... for I am the word .... And you shall receive Me Myself into your hearts, and then you will truly lack nothing, you will lose all weakness, you will receive strength in abundance, and you will effortlessly cover your pilgrimage on earth with the success that after the death of your body you will enter the kingdom of the beyond in light and strength .... For this is truly accomplished by My word, which I Myself convey to you from on high .... And you, My servants on earth, live out love when you help your neighbour in spiritual need .... when you bring them My word. You then also demonstrate love for Me, for you then bring My children back to Me who were separated from Me for a long time ....

Amen

Opponent's attempts to extinguish the light ....

B.D. 7915 from June 10th 1961, taken from Book No. 83

The adversary's activity will become even more obvious as the end approaches. For it is his concern that the darkness in which humanity lives should be preserved. It is important to him that every little light is extinguished or covered, that the truth does not break through, because this brightly illuminates him and his doings and he then loses his following .... In the end he is granted great power because this is done by the people themselves who are in bondage to him. And he succeeds in influencing people, for he also wraps himself in the garment of an angel of light if he thereby hopes to achieve success. And where the truth from Me is directly conveyed to earth .... where a light from Me shines brightly in order to break through the darkness he is now particularly at work, and again and again he will push you, My bearers of light, away and try to make you insecure, he will attack you personally and try to make you doubt the mission you are striving to fulfil .... But he will not succeed in this, for I protect the truth and I also protect you who receive the truth from Me directly .... And I say to you: Everything is good that is done for Me and My kingdom in an unselfish way .... However, as soon as the smallest personal advantage is sought the work for Me loses value, for then My adversary is already behind it and you are endangered; for he also disguises himself well and you will not recognize him so easily. But he will still betray himself, for he does not represent the pure truth from Me .... And therefore beware of any contradiction to My word, which I send to you from above, which brings you light into the darkness that reigns on earth .... Whatever comes from Me will always radiate light, it will give you true knowledge, it will provide you with knowledge which corresponds to the truth .... Understand, you humans, what is meant by darkness: You have lost all knowledge about your origin and your aim, about your task in earthly life .... you know nothing about the correlations, you know nothing about your God and creator of eternity, about His nature, about His plan of salvation of eternity .... You therefore lack all knowledge .... And I will remedy this lack, I will give you a light, I will explain to you everything that is connected with your existence, with your state, and I will spread out before you My plan from eternity .... Hence you shall be led out of the state of 'darkness', you shall reach the 'light of truth', and therefore I Myself guide the truth to earth .... Understand that only pure truth from Me can ever be called 'light' and that this emanation is a gift of grace for you humans of unheard-of significance .... And now you will also understand that My adversary will make it his business to darken this light if he does not succeed in extinguishing it .... You will understand that he intervenes himself and appears as an angel of light if he can only achieve that the radiant splendour of the light from above is veiled .... But you, My bearers of light, must reckon with this and only use yourselves all the more eagerly for the spreading of truth, so that the light from above still finds entrance everywhere and its rays break through the darkness of night .... Pay no attention to the activities of My adversary who will do everything in his power to work against Me, but remain faithful to Me and serve Me by spreading My light .... by helping those to realize who desire light and therefore also recognize the truth when it is offered to them by you .... Join Me ever more closely and you will truly enjoy My protection and be allowed to serve Me unhindered .... Go your way, for I Myself will guide you and don't look to the right or to the left but only ever upwards, towards Me, Who shines towards you as eternal light, Who also radiates His spirit into you again and again, because you are to proclaim the truth which originates from Me .... because you are to bring people a light which chases away all darkness, for only through truth can you become blessed, only in light can you find the path to Me ....

Amen

Explanation for the unusual knowledge ....

B.D. 7916 from June 11th 1961, taken from Book No. 83

Broad fields of knowledge will be opened up to you when you receive My Word from above, for I Myself will introduce you to knowledge which cannot be intellectually acquired by you. You, who should teach your fellow human beings, must first be instructed yourselves in everything that you humans need to know. But you should also be able to refute every objection when it comes to defending the only truth, when rational people try to undermine the spiritual conclusions .... Then you should be able to explain all correlations, and thus you first have to be guided into profound spiritual knowledge which can only take place through My direct Word .... For I can only address you directly if you, through a life in accordance with My will, have shaped yourselves such that My spirit will be able to pour into you, and only then will you also understand what is imparted to you as profound knowledge .... on account of which the same knowledge .... if it is passed on from person to person .... will only be understood and recognised as truth by someone who lives a life of love and has awakened the spirit within himself.

The spiritual information is comprehensive, yet it will always be imparted to you as you require it in order to first become fully mature yourselves and to then carry out the mission which you have accepted of your own free will .... And in view of the approaching end, broader knowledge has become necessary; My plan of Salvation has to be presented to people so that they will recognise the significance of their earthly lives and do whatever it takes to escape the fate of a renewed banishment .... And this plan of Salvation covers the development of all created beings, the origin, present state and goal of everything that came forth from My strength of love. The knowledge is extensive and new to many people, for so far it has not been necessary to inform them of it. Yet the time of the end requires that this information is now conveyed to people, so that they will live more responsibly .... And thus they shall also know about their previous infinitely long earthly process which they already covered as soul-substances .... This knowledge, too, was strange to them and therefore they can only accept it with difficulty. Nor will they be coerced into believing it .... yet mentally they can form their own opinion and derive benefit from it ....

However, no human being can ever intellectually attain knowledge which concerns My reign and activity .... which explains My Being, which substantiates everything, even the forthcoming event, the transformation of earth, the spiritual and earthly turning-point .... Such knowledge can only be imparted to you from above, from Myself .... It can only be conveyed to you through the 'working of the spirit' and thus should also be recognised as an exceptional grace, which will still be granted to you in the last days .... And you humans should also understand that I Am only motivated by My greater than great love to inform you of everything in order to effect your voluntary return to Me, that you recognise My love and respond to it .... You should understand why I demand the spreading of My Word ever more urgently, why I would like to give this remarkable information to all people ....

This knowledge can only be conveyed to earth when certain conditions are in place. But wherever this is possible, that is, where people look for clarification, this is where they should acknowledge My direct activity and accept the gift of grace which can help their souls attain maturity during the last days before the end. For then they will truly receive knowledge which is presented to them by Myself and which also exposes every misguided teaching that was able to assert itself in the darkness of the spirit but which can no longer resist the bright light of truth .... The correct knowledge, which I offer you in My love, provides you with information and clarity, and it truly requires no further verbal human addition, it requires no further explanations added by human intellect .... My Word from above is offered to you in all clarity; it is comprehensible to everyone and provides you with the right concept of Me and My Nature, of My reign and activity ....

My Word from above guides you into truth, as I have promised, and should be distributed because all people shall know about My eternal plan of Salvation, because all people shall know about the end .... about the total transformation of the earth, which is intended by My plan of Salvation and will truly be carried out when the time is fulfilled ....

Amen

Source .... Vineyard work .... Grace time ....

B.D. 7917 from June 12th 1961, taken from Book No. 83

When I Myself address you through My spirit, when I convey My word to you which provides you with extensive knowledge, and when I give you the task to spread this word of Mine, I also know that it is urgently necessary, for time is rushing by and the end will come faster than you think. Therefore, again and again you are given this task to work diligently in My vineyard. And this work consists of you "carrying My gospel out into the world", .... that you pass on what you receive from Me directly .... that you make use of every opportunity to inform people of the unusual activity in you .... that you give Me the opportunity to address people, because they shall be instructed of their task in life and because they shall also be given the knowledge of My plan of salvation. When I open a spring from which the water of life flows I do not do so for the sake of one human being but I call all pilgrims to refresh and strengthen themselves at this spring .... But do you humans know how to appreciate this great gift of grace that is offered to you? .... Do you know what it means when you can draw fresh and healing water from a spring when you are afflicted by thirst? .... And so you shall hear that your soul thirsts for a refreshing drink, that it is exceedingly grateful when it is offered a fresh spring water. And you should make use of this great gift of grace and seek out the spring from which you may draw constantly, which I will not let run dry because I know how indispensable it is for your souls. But this time of grace will also come to an end one day, the time will come when it will be difficult to reach the source, when you will be prevented because the powerful on earth will be under the influence of My adversary and openly proceed against Me, against everything spiritual, against faith in Jesus Christ. And you shall be prepared for this time, you shall constantly draw strength from the source, you shall let yourselves be addressed by Me so that you will then have the strength to resist, to remain faithful to Me and to stand firm until the end. Therefore I want to impart much strength to you, i.e. to your soul, beforehand .... therefore I want it to become healthy and mature before this time dawns .... And therefore I give you the task again and again to be constantly active for Me by spreading My word. And no matter how much resistance you face .... remain tirelessly active and point your fellow human beings to the source, because only a true drink of life can be offered to them there, where the water of life flows forth fresh and pure .... I truly want to bless you, for I still want to win many souls before the end, and only the pure truth can lead them back to Me, which originated from Me Myself and which I guide to earth through My word .... For the time left to you until the end is only short, and it shall be utilized in every way because great spiritual hardship exists which can only be remedied if people listen to My word, which is blessed with My strength ....

Amen

Scrutiny of spiritual knowledge ....

B.D. 7918 from June 13th 1961, taken from Book No. 83

Contact Me when you are presented with spiritual knowledge for scrutiny, so that I will guide your thoughts into the right direction and give you the ability to form a correct judgment. For your intellect is incapable of making spiritual judgments; it requires an awakened spirit to guide your thinking into the right direction, and thus I Myself, the eternal Father-Spirit, must always be able to establish contact with your indwelling spiritual spark if your correct thinking is to be guaranteed, if your scrutiny for the origin of spiritual knowledge is to be accurate. The intellect cannot conduct such an examination and, were it to do so, there would be no guarantee for truth, for truth comes forth from Me and it will only be recognised by those who establish contact with Me, who appeal to Me for enlightened thinking and who therefore will not accept anything but the truth. And so you humans should not value your intellect too highly, for as soon as it concerns spiritual spheres I want to be approached directly, otherwise the 'truth' would only ever be the privilege of those people who possess a highly developed intellect .... But My condition for correct and truthful thinking is different: I expect from you humans the love which awakens your spirit, which enlightens your thinking, which is a direct bond with Me, the Eternal Love Itself. A sharp intellect, however, is no guarantee for a life of love .... A sharp intellect without love can also be used by My adversary, and then truthful thinking can never be expected because the influence exerted by My adversary will always be against Me in order to undermine the truth which exposes him. Understand that only a person living a life of love is wise .... for he lives within divine order and is thus enlightened, he has gained realisation, the knowledge of the pure truth. So, of what use is a highly developed intellect to a person if he lacks love? He will not be able to offer you truth, as My adversary's tool he is more likely to lead your thinking astray, since the former will always intervene where a person's life opposes the divine order, where the principle of love does not predominate .... Love protects him against this influence, love characterises him as a divine living creation, love testifies to the bond with Me and therefore also always to correct thinking, and thus he will also always know the truth, he will be capable of forming a correct judgment when he scrutinises spiritual knowledge, and he will reject all false spiritual information .... The degree of love therefore determines to what extent the human being knows the truth and not the amount of externally received spiritual knowledge, which will remain lifeless knowledge as long as the spirit is not yet awakened through love. The reason why so much error exists in the world and why error is far more likely to be accepted than truth is because people lack the ability to make correct judgments and therefore readily accept anything they are offered by people with great mental ability who are deemed 'competent' to scrutinise spiritual knowledge for its truth. You must always approach Me directly for help, you must always appeal for My support, if you don't want to fall prey to error .... Always appeal to Me for spiritual enlightenment, for correct thinking and for recognising the truth .... And your desire for truth will guarantee your correct thinking, for I want you to know the truth; I also want you to pass a correct judgment when it is requested of you .... But I always want to be recognised and approached as the origin of truth, for only I can impart it to you through those whose spirit is awakened because they live a life of love ....

Meaning of the gift of grace .... Power gift ....

B.D. 7919 from June 14th 1961, taken from Book No. 83

Always accept My word as given to you so that you will pass it on and fulfil its purpose: to bring strength and light to people who walk in darkness and are powerless .... Again and again it is necessary for you humans to know the significance of the great gift of grace which I convey to you because you are in great spiritual need. Your thoughts and aspirations predominantly belong to the world; yet you think little of your God and creator, and therefore you rarely establish the bond with Me, in which alone I could impart strength to you for your pilgrimage on earth. You should not believe that the life energy at your disposal was only given to you in order to fulfil your earthly wishes .... You should use it to acquire spiritual strength, which means that you should use the strength of life to work with love, which will then certainly also earn you spiritual strength. For you need spiritual strength for your ascent upwards, for the maturing of your soul .... Spiritual strength will not be lost to you when you have ended your earthly life and lost all vitality .... Your task in earthly life is to acquire spiritual strength, and you receive spiritual strength through loving activity, through heartfelt prayer to Me and through listening to My word, which is a direct transmission of strength and which, once again, only informs you of My will: to shape yourselves into love, without which you cannot become blissfully happy. Believe that you only have to strive on earth to increase your spiritual strength. And believe that I want to supply you with this strength and therefore speak to you. And when you hear My word from above it is truly a gift of grace with an extraordinary effect, for it gives you what you lack but which you need in order to mature during your earthly life in order to be able to enter the kingdom of light and bliss when you have ended this earthly life .... My word, which I offer you, is everything: it is the bread from heaven, it is the manna which comes from heaven and is nourishment for your soul .... it is a light that dispels darkness, it is the source of strength from which you can constantly draw the water of life .... It is the proof of My love for you humans to whom I can be present if you also show Me your love .... It also proves My wisdom and power to you, for you are introduced to a knowledge which gives you a clear picture of My nature .... My word is the illumination of My divine strength of love, and this can never remain without success, it has to take effect on yourselves, on your soul, and lead you to perfection. And therefore I want to address all of you, that is why I convey My word to earth and only ever instruct you to pass it on to your fellow human beings, and again and again I make the significance, the effect of the great gift of grace, understandable to you, so that you listen to Me and thus receive strength in abundance through the conscious utilisation of My grace by listening to the word and also living it out by fulfilling My will, which I proclaim to you through My word because I love you .... And you should believe that your God and father addresses you Himself, for I want to win back My children who have been distant from Me for an infinitely long time, I want to show them the way back and also impart to them the strength to be able to walk it .... I want to receive them all into My kingdom again and prepare for them the bliss they were allowed to enjoy in the beginning .... The father wants His children back who once left Him voluntarily ....

Amen

God is eternally unchanging .... Law of order .... Love principle ....

B.D. 7920 from June 15th 1961, taken from Book No. 83

I am from eternity .... and I will be until all eternity. And My laws will also be eternally unchanging, My nature will be eternally unchanging, love will be and remain the fundamental principle of order, for love is My fundamental nature, and everything also emerged from love and must also move eternally in My order if it wants to remain united with Me for all eternity .... For what I created had a beginning but can never have an end .... In the beginning it was in My eternal order, and it also inevitably returns to the eternal order again, although in the meantime it has stepped out of this order itself .... But this state does not last forever .... Everything created returns to Me again, and this means that it is then also again in the state of eternal order in which it had emerged from Me .... It can never ever pass away again, for even in the state of distance it is held by My strength of love, which constantly flows out into infinity and ensures the existence of everything My emanating strength of love had as its reason. Everything created certainly had its beginning but will have no end .... a concept which can only be grasped by you humans in the state of perfection when your thinking will no longer be limited .... Before that you cannot grasp it, yet you should know that there will never be an end for you again. For only this realization can and will impel you to change your nature in order to spend this 'eternity' in a state of bliss, as it was your original purpose that you were able to create and work with Me and in My will in unlimited bliss. For you still moved in My eternal order, you still subordinated yourselves to My law, the principle of love was powerful in you and decisive for your bliss .... I Myself am and remain unchanging in My nature, and this also means that My laws can never change, that love is always and forever the fundamental principle, that what is perfect like Me must always and forever move in love .... which has therefore achieved deification in free will .... I indeed created beings from Myself in all perfection, and these beings were also filled by My spirit of love because I constantly illuminated them and therefore they were immeasurably blissful .... Admittedly, as divine beings I also had to give them the opportunity to freely decide to accept My strength of love .... I had to give their free will, the sign of their divine origin, the opportunity to develop, otherwise they would only have remained My 'creatures' forever but would never have been able to reach the highest perfection: to become true 'children of God' .... a work which they had to accomplish themselves, which I could not carry out on them .... And this aim of Mine in the creation of all beings resulted in the apostasy of countless beings (this free will resulted in the apostasy of countless beings) which misused their free will .... but which were nevertheless imperishable and therefore will also one day reach the aim of working and creating as My 'children' for all eternity .... I am from eternity and I will be until all eternity .... And therefore the time My beings need for the transformation into highest perfection is also irrelevant to Me .... And it would also be insignificant for the being itself if the time of distance from Me were not extremely agonizing for these beings, whose original state of light and strength and freedom was changed through their own fault into a state of darkness, powerlessness and bondage .... which truly cannot be called blissful. And for the sake of the being I seek to shorten the torment for him and help him in every way to reach his original state again .... But I cannot deviate from My law of eternal order: The love principle must prevail, the being must change to love again, it must voluntarily allow itself to be illuminated by Me, and then it will also move in the order of eternity .... it will become perfect again, as it was in the beginning, yet it then strived for this perfection of its own free will and therefore changed from My 'creature' into My 'child', which it will now also remain for all eternity ....

Amen

Disaster (nature) ....

B.D. 7921 from June 16th 1961, taken from Book No. 83

Whatever you will encounter in the last time .... is wanted or permitted by Me because it is conducive to your soul's salvation. For everything is planned in My eternal plan and nothing happens arbitrarily .... Thus you know that you are supported by Me and My love, because My love and wisdom is always decisive and therefore you can completely trust Me to guide everything through correctly, that I protectively spread My hands over you and help you in every adversity of body and soul. But don't waver in your faith .... I call out to you again and again that firm unshakeable faith in Me and My love will carry you over everything and that you can therefore look forward to what is to come without fear .... for I will obviously appear as I have proclaimed .... I will express Myself through the forces of nature and you will irrevocably approach this event because the time has come when people shall still receive a last hint of the forthcoming end .... where they shall recognize a power above themselves Which wants to express Itself in this natural event in order to cause you humans to turn towards this power and thus establish the connection with Me. But you humans cannot determine this time (this time cannot be determined for you humans) .... you can only believe that not much time will pass until I speak to you from above with a voice which you can no longer ignore .... But whether you want to acknowledge it as My voice is up to you, for even this natural event is not 'compelling to believe' .... And even then many people will still not want to recognize and acknowledge Me Myself, nor can they be given any other signs of My existence and My will, for I will never forcibly influence their faith and will, I will never forcibly break their resistance which they still oppose Me by denying everything concerning a higher being and the connection with this higher being .... But they shall recognize that it is not human will which is the cause of this unusual natural event .... they should realize that they themselves are completely powerless and therefore at the mercy of the forces of nature if they don't turn to Me with a heartfelt call for help, which then also proves their faith in Me. For this call must come from the heart or I will not be able to hear it .... You humans are close to it and you yourselves cannot avert this event, for it will come as a surprise even though it was announced to you a long time before .... It will also be inexplicable for the rational scientist, for things will happen which have never been observed before and which no-one will be able to explain. Yet the fact that I have predicted this to you shall be proof of My love as well as of the truth of My word which is sent to you from above .... It shall be proof to you that I also have the power to protect you, for you shall have living faith in Me, Who only lets everything come upon you in order to win you for eternity. For your hearts .... which belong to My own .... will rejoice and exult over the truth of what you receive out of My love and grace .... For you will know that One is with you, and you will give yourselves to this One with complete trust .... Nothing will frighten you any longer, for you know that you are united with Me and under My protection. And you should also still point to My coming wherever possible, for precisely the knowledge of this will be a great support for everyone when the day dawns which will bring a disaster upon people which, earthly speaking, is unimaginable .... For the earth will be tremendously shaken .... Everything will be thrown into disarray and no rescue can be hoped for from any earthly side. Only I will be able to help you, and I will also do so if you call upon Me, if you raise your hands to Me so that I will take hold of them and rescue you from utmost adversity .... And you should not believe that a long time will still separate you from that event .... It is close to you and there are only short hours of grace left to you which you should make good use of because you don't know the number of them .... Again and again I admonish and warn you, for My plan of salvation will be carried out as My love and wisdom recognized it to be right and successful .... And nothing can determine Me to deviate from it, because the time is fulfilled and because I truly know what still serves you, what can save you from ruin ....

Amen

In the beginning all creatures heard the "word" ....

B.D. 7922 from June 18th 1961, taken from Book No. 83

In the beginning you all heard My word .... When I created you I also established the connection with you through the word. You heard a voice within yourselves which you recognized as the voice of your God and creator, and through the word you gained understanding for everything, through the word you also became light, for the word was the direct emanation of My light of love from eternity. My love poured into the vessels which I created Myself because My love wanted to make you happy and thus had to find a resonance. My creatures were not dead beings .... they were beings which I had externalized as My images and to whom I gave life through My illumination of love .... And thus I also gave them the understanding for everything, brightest realization, thus light, and the possibility to be able to communicate with Me, their creator, through the word which resounded in them as My illumination of love and could be returned by them in sound .... which is now indeed to be understood spiritually, that the thoughts were recognizable to the partner and could be reciprocated by him .... In the beginning, therefore, was the word, for before I had created beings for Myself I did not need this word because there was nothing in which My strength of love could have emanated .... Hearing My word, understanding what their God and creator wanted to say to them, was an extremely happy process for the beings, for it triggered the most blissful feelings in them which now knew themselves to be united with Me and which now also reciprocated the love which flowed into these beings from Me. Hearing My word proved to them I Myself, their God and creator, the inconceivable spirit Whom they could not see and Who nevertheless revealed Himself to them .... And the 'word' was the bond between us which need never have been severed and which has provided and still provides endless bliss for the beings who have remained faithful to Me .... And the word will remain for all eternity .... For the beings created by Me can and will never pass away again, and one day every being will also be able to hear My word within itself again, as it was in the beginning, for the direct illumination of love is at the same time the sounding of My word in the being, for I will always reveal Myself as father Who wants to be in closest contact with His child and then also addresses the child again as in the beginning, because this direct exchange of thoughts between father and child is the most blissful thing a created being can imagine .... I Myself am present to every being which hears My word within itself .... And My presence must trigger bliss .... For this reason it should be striven for on earth with all one's strength, for the more intimate My living creations' relationship with Me is the sooner a child's relationship with its father will be established, and then the father will also address His child as in the beginning, and brightest realization, knowledge of everything, radiant light, will be the lot again which will make My children inconceivably happy, which will bring them the delights again which they were allowed to enjoy in the beginning .... that the being will be able to exchange itself with Me again and will now be constantly touched by My illumination of love, by My word .... that it will again be inexpressibly blissful, as it was in the beginning ....

Knowledge of God's will .... Responsibility ....

B.D. 7923 from June 19th 1961, taken from Book No. 83

I speak to you because you should know My will .... You need to be given guidelines by which you should live your life for as long as you live on earth .... Thus you must be informed of My will, and the consequences of complying or not complying with My will must also be explained to you .... you must know what I expect of you and why I expect it. And then you should act according to your free will .... that is, you either accept My will or live contrary to it, but then you must also accept the consequences of your rightly or wrongly directed will. But you are free to make your decision .... you are not forced to make this or that decision, to live your life in this or that way. Even so, you decide your fate in eternity and therefore bear great responsibility. Were the information of My will not presented to you, you could not be held to account either but you would hardly reach the goal on earth of attaining your original perfection, which you had lost because your will and activity opposed My will, because you ignored My will. For My will is nothing else but the law of eternal order, it is My will that you should integrate yourselves into this law, whose fundamental principle is love .... If you allow this fundamental principle to break through into you then you will adapt yourselves to My law of order, then you will fulfil My will, you will voluntarily subordinate yourselves to My will. If, however, you lack love, then you are outside of My law of eternal order .... then you are also outside the circuit of My flow of love, you are separated from Me, you are imperfect, because love is part of perfection, which you reject as you once did when you fell away from Me.

At the start of your human embodiment you have no knowledge, and therefore I Myself convey to you the knowledge of your relationship with Me and also that you had sinned against Me, that you had not fulfilled My will, that you had disregarded the divine principle of love and thereby left the eternal order. For this reason I inform you of My will and address you through My Word .... for this reason I require you to enter into My will, into the eternal order, and tell you to live a life according to My will .... But I do not compel you to live this way; I leave it up to your free will .... But one thing I keep preaching to you: Love .... for everything depends on your willingness to love, even your agreement to fulfil My will and to submit yourselves to the law of eternal order solely depends on your willingness to love. For that which you do as a result of love you do voluntarily. Thus 'activity of love' is My will of which I constantly inform you .... Activity of love is the law of eternal order .... activity of love is the path to reach the goal, for activity of love provides you with the strength to do what is required in order to perfect yourselves .... And therefore I will never cease informing you of My will through My Word, I will keep preaching love to you and make you aware of the benefits of a life of love .... I will always try to encourage you to subordinate yourselves to the law of eternal order, to ignite love within yourselves and fan it into a bright flame .... My Word will enlighten you as to the purpose of your earthly life, and I Myself will constantly follow you with My love so that your love for Me will be kindled, and then the principle of love will determine your whole nature, you will gain bright enlightenment, i.e., you will realise the purpose of your process across earth and the goal set for you .... This realisation will give you great joy and you will eagerly strive for perfection .... For once love has ignited in you, you will also unite with Me through love, and then you will never want to let go of Me again, and I Myself will hold you with My love, I will merge with you since it is your own free will and we will never part again, for to have entered into My eternal order means to create and be active with Me and in My will in accordance with the divine principle of love and to be eternally happy ....

Amen

Concept of time and space ....

B.D. 7924 from June 20th 1961, taken from Book No. 83

The concept of time only applies to the imperfect spiritual being which still experiences limitations of thought and which therefore is also bound to time and space, whereas the perfected spiritual being knows no boundary and past, present and future are the same concept, for the perfect being can see and experience past, present and future events at the same time and will therefore also be eternally happy because nothing exists anymore which could ever burden the being. For the expediency of everything is recognisable given that it helped the being to achieve perfection. It has been surmounted, thus it should belong to the past and yet it is vividly in the present and its effect is always apparent .... nonetheless never connected to time and space .... Being capable of understanding this is already a sign of approaching perfection .... yet not entirely comprehensible for the human being as long as he still lives on earth, as long as he is not perfect and still held captive by time and space. Concepts of eternity are therefore inconceivable for the human being; he can certainly imagine infinitely long periods of time but not fathom them rationally, just as he cannot imagine that 'time' will eventually no longer exist .... that he lives and can equally be in the past as well as in the future .... that everything that ever happened is apparent to him. Then he will, in fact, also know about a 'beginning' but this will be just as apparent to him as the attained goal of all beings which originated from God and returned to Him again. Then there can be no restriction for a being anymore, for due to its fall into the abyss the being had caused its own restriction .... A state of darkness began, followed by gaps of knowledge, of realisation .... the lack of light was of a temporary nature, because the situation of the beings changed from epoch to epoch .... And thus their place of abode also kept changing, which makes a spatial boundary understandable .... Time and space are attributes of the imperfect being, which consequently was limited in its activity precisely because it was imperfect .... in other words, it was subject to space and time, it was no longer as free as when it emerged from God .... It had put itself in chains or allowed itself to be chained by God's adversary, and determined the duration of its confined state itself .... It made itself dependent on time as long as it didn't seriously strive towards gaining perfection ....

Yet one day time and space will have been overcome, one day these concepts will no longer be applicable, because one day perfection will certainly have been attained .... And then the being will find it incomprehensible why it had kept itself at a distance from God for so long that it was restricted in every way, and then again it will be able to understand that with the Lord a thousand years are as one day, because time does not exist for Him, therefore the concept that 'God is eternal' is meaningless, for He is always in the present, the past does not exist for Him, He sees future events just as much in the present as past events .... He was and is and always will remain the primary nucleus, the vibrant source of strength, the beginning and the ending .... He was and is and remains the timeless, infinite Being Which none of His created beings will ever be able to fathom .... And no 'before' or 'after' exists for Him .... He is always in the present and this present will never end .... And every concept of time and space is only ever a characteristic of His once apostatised beings which created their own 'boundary' by reversing their nature .... which let that which is perfection become imperfect, which shaped themselves into something God-opposing .... which reversed their original state into the opposite .... And thus the apostatised beings created the law of time and space themselves in which everything of an imperfect nature has to exist, because everything imperfect moves within a certain boundary .... Only that which is perfect is unrestricted; however, everything that is subject to limitation is also imperfect, according to the law of eternity .... The being came forth from God in perfection, and neither time nor space existed for this being and it was infinitely happy. Yet its fall into the abyss created boundaries in every way which will only cease to exist when the being has shaped itself back into perfection, to its fundamental nature, to the state in which it was once created by God ....

Jesus Christ opened the gate into the kingdom of light ....

B.D. 7925 from June 23rd 1961, taken from Book No. 83

The gate into the kingdom of light and beatitude was opened for you again when the human being Jesus gave His life on the Calvary cross as redemption for humanity's guilt of sin .... The gulf between Me and you was bridged by His crucifixion, the path which led into the Father's house was clear for you again .... This act of compassion, accomplished by a human being Who had received the fullness of Myself in Himself and who therefore also had abundant strength, was unique, and will never have to be repeated again, because it was accomplished for all people past, present and future ....

The death of Jesus, the man, had been so agonising, His physical and psychological suffering so immeasurably great, that I let it suffice for Me as atonement for the immense original sin of the spiritual beings' past apostasy from Me .... that My justice, too, was thereby satisfied and that My love was therefore able to accept you again without violating the law, which even the most perfect Being has to obey otherwise its perfection would suffer a loss .... I accepted the sacrifice of Jesus, the man, and the path was open for you, My living creations, to return into your Father's house, to Me, Whom you once had voluntarily left ....

If you humans would consider the magnitude of your past guilt, if you would consider the immense suffering and torments of the human being Jesus, and if you would try to imagine the splendours in My kingdom, then you would also be able to understand how tremendously significant Jesus' act of Salvation is for you humans, and you therefore also have to profess Him otherwise you will have to stay in darkness, since otherwise the kingdom of light and bliss will remain closed to you until you acknowledge Him and consciously take His side. Only when it is explained to you that you had become sinful and what your great sin consisted of, will you be able to understand Jesus Christ's act of Salvation .... Yet you must know about it or your earthly life will have been in vain if you cross over into the kingdom of the beyond in the same darkness, if you are still burdened by the original sin which caused the deep gulf between you and Me ....

The bridge to Me was established by the human being Jesus for all of you, and you all are able to enter it .... you are able to return to Me again, yet only with Him, with Jesus, the divine Redeemer .... if you make use of the great act of mercy, if you acknowledge Him and Me Myself in Him, Who descended to earth in order to take abode in Jesus, in order to accomplish the act of Salvation Myself in Him, so that the gate to the kingdom of light is opened for you again and you will then be able to return to your Father's house ....

Your past sin of guilt has been redeemed through Jesus' crucifixion .... Yet every individual person also has to form an opinion about Him and His act of Salvation .... The bridge has been established, yet every individual person has to enter it himself and take the path to Me, Who is waiting for you on the other side of the gulf and happily wants to re-admit you into My kingdom .... Your guilt of sin is redeemed but you have to carry it under the cross yourselves, you yourselves have to want to belong to those for whom the blood of Jesus, the man, was shed .... Only then will you acknowledge Him and His act of Salvation, and only then will you consciously confess your guilt and appeal for forgiveness .... Then the divine Redeemer will have accomplished the act of mercy for you too, then His blood will have been shed for you as well and has cleansed your soul from all guilt.

And therefore you humans will receive clarification time and again as to the significance of Jesus' crucifixion for the whole of humankind; time and again you will be made aware of your immense guilt, which was immeasurable, because you once knowingly separated yourselves from Me despite brightest enlightenment and utmost perfection .... You had burdened yourselves with guilt, the magnitude of which you are unable to assess, and it truly required an immeasurably great and difficult sacrifice of atonement .... The human being Jesus offered it to Me, and for the sake of His excessive love for His fellow human beings I accepted this sacrifice and let it suffice as an expiation of guilt.

And now you will have to make use of His supreme act of love yourselves, so that your guilt of sin is redeemed, so that you don't stand in front of a closed door when, after your death, you enter into the kingdom of the beyond .... Due to His crucifixion the gates were opened again, His death on the cross brought salvation to you humans, with His blood He bought your souls back from My adversary .... And thus He truly became your Redeemer from all adversity, for He returned your life to you .... He liberated you from sin and death .... He took all your sins upon Himself and walked with them the path to the cross.

The fullness of love in Him accomplished this act, and I Myself was this love .... Your Father of eternity, He Himself has built the bridge in order to fetch you home into His kingdom .... and you all will have to enter this bridge if you want to become blessed ....

Amen

Power of faith .... False teachings .... Spiritual compulsion ....

B.D. 7926 from June 24th 1961, taken from Book No. 83

I know about every thought that moves you, I know about every question that occupies you, and I always want to give you clarification so that your thinking will be right, so that you will walk in truth:... And thus I must certainly say that I will not let a strong faith go to waste and that, in accordance with such faith, events will also approach the person who carries Me in his heart, who strives to live entirely in accordance with My will. But the fact that this faith is sometimes still bound to wrong ideas, if the human being's thinking was wrongly guided, will not cause Me to endanger My child's trust by leaving its requests unfulfilled .... Yet I will also enlighten its thinking more and more so that it will learn to recognize by itself where human statutes or wrong teachings have intruded into the truth in which the human being should live. I will never approve of error or favour it, but neither will I ever disappoint a child which faithfully asks Me .... even if his thinking still moves in wrong ideas. Yet I will never be able to convey pure truth through the inner word to those who are bound in their thinking because they were wrongly instructed .... these therefore make a direct working of My spirit impossible as long as they don't recognize the baselessness of erroneous teachings themselves and try to free themselves from it by desiring the truth from Me Myself .... which will always be questionable if they believe to possess the truth .... And now the degree of love also speaks to Me and to the neighbour how long the person moves in wrong thinking .... For love awakens the spirit to life, and this will now instruct the human being from within, i.e., it will cause him to ask questions, quiet doubts will arise in the human being's heart, he will reflect and find contradictions, and My spirit will also slowly guide him into right cognition until he then consciously turns to Me and appeals to Me for fullest clarity, for enlightened thinking, for right light .... And it will truly shine for him .... But where the influence from outside is still too strong, where the human being's own thinking and own opinion on religious teachings is forbidden, there the human being closes himself off to all knowledge as long as he does not consider that he is responsible for himself and therefore also has to make a free decision of will. From My side he will always be presented with the truth, but as soon as it contradicts the spiritual knowledge which he had hitherto considered to be the truth, the free decision will come into play .... thus a reflection on it and his own opinion on it .... which he will not be able to evade, for he must irrevocably possess the truth if he wants to be blissfully happy in the kingdom of the beyond one day, because the blissful activity in the spiritual kingdom consists of transmitting truth .... thus to pass on the light .... into the darkness .... And if he does not decide for truth on earth, then he must do so in the kingdom of the beyond .... But on earth he has far more possibilities at his disposal, on earth the truth will be conveyed to him again and again and he will only ever be required to make a free decision of will to mentally deal with all spiritual knowledge. But from My side no coercion takes place .... And thus the human being should also never be forcibly influenced .... And you humans can be certain that in all of you who feel bound by regulations .... thoughts will one day arise as to whether this 'spiritual bondage' can be My will .... You will all begin to doubt this one day, and then the hour of decision will also have come for you, when you should and can free yourselves inwardly from spiritual constraint .... when you must take responsibility for your soul's salvation yourselves, when you must put Me Myself first but then also safely reach the aim under My guidance .... All bondage is a state which does not correspond to My eternal order .... Freedom should always be striven for, only this in the right way, that I Myself am asked for help, and then your thinking will truly also be right, and you need not fear that you will fall into error from one to the other .... you will move in the light of truth, and the truth will truly set you free ....

Opposing objections .... False interpretation of the Bible ....

B.D. 7927 from June 25th 1961, taken from Book No. 83

Objections can be made to you from all sides .... you must never doubt the truth of My word, which you may receive as an unusual proof of grace for the time before the end .... For I Myself convey this word to you in order to introduce you to the truth, because you humans are still far removed from it. For you have been taught by 'people', and they will err and spread error because they have not approached the 'giver of truth' for it but again and again adopted spiritual knowledge from their fellow human beings, the origin of which, however, has not always been Me Myself. But how do you want to decide what originates from Me or My adversary? .... You yourselves cannot pass judgement without Me .... But if you approach Me for the pure truth, you will also receive it from Me. You humans are often careless in your judgment, you can no longer determine the origin yourselves, yet you unhesitatingly trust those who convey spiritual knowledge to you and portray it as truth .... And you also declare yourselves willing to accept that spiritual knowledge without taking a mental stand on it because you allegedly don't possess the capacity of judgement for it .... But on the other hand you are not afraid to deny the credibility of spiritual knowledge which is conveyed to you by your God and creator Himself .... You all have the right to examine, but do you make use of it? You also have the opportunity to make a right judgment, yet you must turn to Me as the eternal truth Itself for assistance .... Alone, out of your intellect, you are incapable of an examination, but with Me and My support you will be able to do so, for as soon as you appeal to Me for the sake of pure truth for right thinking, for enlightenment of spirit, I will truly not let you walk in error. But you, who receive My word directly from Me, can be as certain of its truth as you know that I…. your God and creator…. gave you life .... You need not doubt, nor will 'people' be able to lower such doubts into your hearts, for I Myself stand before it, I Myself am your protection, because I need you for the urgent task of still conveying My pure word to people in the last days .... For only this can bring them salvation in the spiritual adversity into which they have fallen due to misguided teachings, due to the activity of My adversary who wants to veil Me Myself and My nature so that they will not recognize Me, so that they will not strive towards Me and thus escape his control. You, My servants on earth, you will be able to refute every objection because you are only the executors of My will, because I Myself can work through you and thus will also address those through you who attack you, who want to extinguish the light which radiates through you from Me directly to earth. And you should only ever ask them whether they 'desire' the truth from the bottom of their heart .... For only then will it be expedient to hold further debates with them, otherwise every effort will be in vain to make the pure truth accessible to them as well, because then the adversary will obviously take effect who wants to attack you and make you insecure in your conviction. But you should not let yourselves be misled, you should believe that you are taught by the eternal truth Itself and that your spiritual knowledge will therefore withstand every criticism which is only exercised in full earnest. They will not succeed in uncovering an untruth or finding contradictions, for you will always be able to give them the right rejoinders, you will be able to enlighten them, and they will have to acknowledge your counter-rejoinders as well-founded and understandable to all. For you will be taught by Me Myself, you will be supported by Me Myself in every debate, I Myself will put the words into your mouth, for I truly have the power and also the will to do so, because it concerns the pure truth which you humans need and lack. But what people represent as 'truth' is not pure spiritual knowledge; it never came forth from Me as it is now presented to you humans .... It is no longer My pure word which I proclaimed Myself when I lived on earth .... And whether you also rely on the written word, you who now attack My pure word from above .... whether you entrench yourselves behind letters whose meaning you have deformed .... you will have to rethink, and then you will also recognize that I do not portray the 'written' word as wrong but only give you the right interpretation for it .... you will recognize that the book of books also contains the pure truth from Me if you only read it with an awakened spirit and are willing to let yourselves be addressed by Me Myself .... Then I will truly also instruct you in the truth, and you will have to admit that I alone can introduce you to the truth by guiding your thinking correctly and drawing your attention to the mistakes made by people and to the additional human work which was detrimental to My pure truth and led people into wrong thinking, into error. Believe that I want to convey the truth to you humans because you need it in order to become blessed .... And also believe that I have the power to carry out My will .... Believe that My love and wisdom also knows the right ways and means to bring you light into the darkness which is spread over the earth .... And do not look for your God and creator in the distance but let Him be your father, Who is present to you and constantly wants to speak to you .... And try to find understanding for the 'working of the spirit', which is only still foreign to you because you yourselves have not yet united with Me so intimately as to be able to experience My working in yourselves ....

Amen

Reason for painful strokes of fate ....

B.D. 7928 from June 26th 1961, taken from Book No. 83

I will still create many opportunities for you before the end which shall enable you to find the path to Me .... Time and again I will reveal Myself to you, though often in a painful manner, yet you shall always recognise that you are unable to determine your own destiny, you shall always recognise a Power above yourselves Which intervenes in your life, and harshly so if there is no other option, in order to pull you back from the abyss towards which you are blindly striving .... I want to save you, and all My admonitions and warnings bear no fruit .... this is why every so often I have to treat you harshly and inflict pain on you .... I have to take your most precious possession on earth away from you, I have to inflict death and disease on you, you will have to be struck by all kinds of misfortunes because you don't believe in a Power to Which you owe your life.

And there will be more and more instances when I will tear people apart, when death will come marching, when disasters will abruptly end people's lives .... I will manifestly show Myself, yet only be recognised by the willing person who will then find his way to Me and can no longer go astray .... The end is coming ever closer, and thus My love, wisdom and might will still also have to frequently intervene .... Time after time humanity has to be shown the transience of earthly things anew, they have to come to realise the triviality of their aspired goals, and as a result will often have to suffer physically and psychologically, but they shall always also receive help if they turn to Me and appeal for My support in their adversity. And their fellow human beings, too, shall consider that they could suffer the same fate and realise that they don't live on this earth for earthly life's sake ....

Every stroke of fate can result in making other people think and question whether their own way of life corresponds to God's will, if they believe in a God .... Each stroke of fate can help people to believe if they turn to Me and through My obvious help will also be able to recognise Me .... Thus you, who receive My Word, should explain to your fellow human beings My occasional interventions in people's lives which appear harsh and cruel .... explain to them that I will use all means in order to win people over for Me, and that I will not stop expressing Myself, for every misfortune is an expression of Myself which can happen to anyone yet it only ever intends to turn their thoughts into My direction .... For there is only little time left and you humans merely pay attention to the world but not to the salvation of your soul ....

The world will pass away, that is, you won't be able to take anything belonging to the world across into the kingdom of the beyond .... You only ever chase after dead commodities, and therefore you will be repeatedly made aware of the world's fleeting nature. Again and again you will hear of accidents and all kinds of disasters, again and again you will have to suffer the loss of human lives, and again and again you will ask yourselves why a God of love allows this to happen .... The God of love wants to win you for Himself, he wants to make you blissfully happy, and therefore He wants you to turn your thoughts to Him ....

My love alone is the reason for everything that affects you badly, for you will go astray again for an infinitely long time if you don't remember Me .... And only for this reason I reveal Myself to you and also intervene harshly and painfully if you ignore My loving admonitions and warnings .... For I don't want you to go astray .... I still want to save you before the end and protect you from a far worse fate .... from the new banishment into the creations of earth, which will be inevitable if you don't find Me before the end of the earth ....

Amen

Ending an earth period is imminent ....

B.D. 7929 from June 27th 1961, taken from Book No. 83

The time set for your redemption will be observed, and this means that a period of redemption will also come to an end, that a new era will begin according to the plan of eternity .... As I saw it as necessary and successful for your soul, for the development of the whole of humanity, this plan has been determined, for the spiritual low requires a new order, it requires an intervention on My part, a turning point which is only a blessing, which serves the spiritual upward development. And since eternity I have also known the time when humanity has reached this spiritual low which necessitates a change, and I will also keep to this time and carry out My plan of salvation, after all, My love and My wisdom always determine My rule and activity in the entire universe .... And thus the end of one redemption period will take place and a new one will begin again, because the process of development has to continue unstoppably, because no standstill can occur on My part and because I want to prevent an even deeper sinking of the spiritual substance which lives on earth as a human being. It is therefore certain that an epoch of development will come to an end .... It will be a spiritual turning point which, however, will also have an earthly effect, for since that which is still bound in form shall also become free and take on new forms, this will also necessitate a dissolution and reshaping of the earth's creations, so that a total reshaping of the entire earth's surface is to be expected, which will end the old period of redemption and signify the beginning of a new era of development. What has been predetermined since eternity will also come to pass on the day which has been set for it .... but the exact knowledge of the day remains hidden from you humans because it would not be helpful for the salvation of your souls if you knew about it .... But it is no longer far away .... whether you believe it or not .... the time has expired and My plan of salvation from eternity will be carried out according to My will .... The fact that you humans of the present time are destined to experience this end also has its reason, for your resistance against Me was strong and did not allow for an earlier embodiment as a human being .... But again, the same period of time was set for you since you had to end your course of development .... It is also possible for you to finish it successfully; it is still possible for all of you to find your way to Me before the end, if only you give up your resistance and turn to Me again, from Whom you once turned away in free will to your own harm .... You are still dwelling on earth; don't let the time pass by unused, for I pour out My blessings on you in abundance and truly help you in every way, because I alone know what it means for you if you fail and have to take the infinitely long path of development once again through the creations of the new earth .... Reckon with the fact that the end is very near and prepare yourselves for this end .... And truly, it will only be a blessing for you if you turn to Me and appeal for My strength and help .... You can still achieve much in a short time, you can be rid of your last form and attain full spiritual freedom .... You only need to want that you do not travel your earthly path as a human being in vain .... You only need to call upon Me, your God and father from eternity, for help and you will find Jesus .... to Him Who alone can and will redeem you. Do not let this admonition fall on your ears, take it into your hearts with the utmost seriousness and think about it .... and act before it is too late .... For no one shall be lost, I still want to help everyone before the end comes .... But it will come irrevocably, for the time has been fulfilled, the period of time has expired which was granted to the spiritual, which was to be completed in this redemption period, and a new one will begin, as and when it is intended in My plan of salvation from eternity ....

Amen

Urgency of the supply of the divine word ....

B.D. 7930 from June 28th 1961, taken from Book No. 83

To convey My word to people is extremely important, for it will cause them to enter into contact with Me as well as they will only pay attention to the word if it is conveyed to them through you. People must hear the 'word of God' .... and the will to hear Me will always be decisive as to whether they experience blessings through the transmission of My word. For if they desire it then it can also be offered to them everywhere, then I Myself will always address them because I take this desire into account. You humans must hear 'My word' .... For this will make My will known to you, and it will also provide you with the strength to live on earth in accordance with My will. And therefore I say again and again: My word with its strength is 'My flesh and My blood...' .... "You accept Me Myself when you accept My word in the desire to be addressed by Me Myself .... Then I will feed you with My flesh and blood, for I Myself am the word which became flesh in order to find access to your hearts, in order to be able to address you directly .... Again and again My love will seek access to you humans, and again and again My word will therefore sound to you through which My love expresses itself .... which is the direct emanation of love on My part .... And it will always be the same word which will not pass away, although heaven and earth will pass away .... because I Myself cannot pass away, because I Myself cannot change either and because My love will never stop giving itself away to the beings I have created for Myself in order to find vessels for My constant flow of love which I can fill .... which I can constantly make happy with My illumination of love .... As human beings you don't appreciate this immense grace of being addressed by Me, but My word must touch you, after all, My flow of love shall help you to attain the perfection you need in order to become blissfully happy .... The most delicious things are offered to you in earthly life when you experience My word, no matter in which way .... Just desire to be fed by Me Myself with the nourishment which is good for your soul's salvation, and you will receive it .... My flesh and My blood will constantly be offered to you, My word will be imparted to you, you will be allowed to receive it directly or indirectly from Me, and you will know what you were, what you are and what you shall become .... But you will also know the connection you have with Me, your God and creator, you will then also desire to be addressed by Me as your father and also be allowed to accept this address .... you will be able to satisfy your soul with My word, with My flesh and My blood, for I Myself am the word from eternity .... But in order to hear My word you must unite intimately .... And this alone is My purpose in speaking to you, that you all establish a bond with Me when My word is spoken to you .... And you do this if only you listen attentively to what I have to say to you, what I convey to you through My messengers .... Then you open your heart to My word, and then My ray of love can enter it and brightly illuminate it, then your soul can receive a healing medicine which gives it strength for your earthly task .... You must hear My word if you want to take the right path on earth which leads to Me .... for My word is the light which illuminates this path for you .... so that you will surely reach your aim ....

Willingness to work in the vineyard ....

B.D. 7931 from June 30th 1961, taken from Book No. 83

You should declare your full willingness to Me, then you will also be suitable to work for Me and My kingdom, for then you will also fulfil the orders of your lord into Whose service you voluntarily place yourselves .... But I have very different work which has to be done, and thus I will always assign the work to My servants for which they are suitable, which they are capable of doing .... And now none of My servants shall arbitrarily push himself into another job, because I alone know what work he can do for the benefit of his fellow human beings. But all My servants will feel urged to represent Me and My kingdom, to bring My gospel to their fellow human beings, that is, to convey My divine teaching of love to them, because all My servants in My vineyard know that love is the first thing, that no human being can become blessed without love .... Therefore, the work of every person who preaches love and lives out love himself will also be blessed, for he can also bestow many blessings on his fellow human beings who now try to emulate him, who make My commandments of love the guiding principle of their way of life and thus are to be valued as good fruits which have come forth from the seed which those vineyard labourers have sown in My name. And all My servants are capable of this work, and I will also supply them again and again with good seed, I Myself will proclaim My gospel of love to them again and again, they will hear My word in their hearts and cannot help but make My will known to their fellow human beings .... inspire them to constant activity in love, and thus perform successful work as servants in their lord's vineyard .... But I have other work for which I need servants who are capable of doing it .... Love will always be the most urgent commandment, and thus these labourers will also have to preach love first and therefore live in love themselves in order to be able to be true, spiritually awakened proclaimers of My teaching of love .... But they also have the task of instructing their fellow human beings .... They have the task of imparting knowledge to them which shall serve humanity to find its way out of the darkness of spirit into the light of day .... a knowledge which corresponds to truth and which therefore can only be received from Me Myself. And not many servants are qualified for this task, because special prerequisites have to be met for Me to be able to reveal Myself to them through the inner word in such a way that I Myself speak to them through the spirit .... thus teach them comprehensibly and make deepest knowledge accessible to them. The end time in which you humans find yourselves necessitates such a supply of truth, of correct knowledge, to earth, because I still want to help you humans to take the path of ascent and not head for the abyss which mercilessly opens to receive you if you don't let yourselves be guided by Me .... Those servants have a special mission to fulfil, to convey the truth to their fellow human beings, and you will understand that such a mission requires great willingness to carry out My will, a willingness to renounce everything worldly, to enter into intimate contact with Me, to always be there for Me, to put spiritual striving first and thus to accept My address at all times, which free will has to make possible again and again because no coercion is ever exerted from My side .... Hence it is an act of free will which has to be renewed again and again and therefore requires full devotion to Me, which necessitates such a mission .... but then the connection from Me to you humans has become possible, which secures the supply of pure truth for you .... You can now be instructed by Me Myself and receive knowledge which must now help you all to attain perfection if you accept and evaluate it .... if you believe in Me and learn to recognize and love Me .... whatever only the truth from Me will achieve. And for the sake of the great blessing which can arise for people from such knowledge I will also always bless My servant who thus serves Me that he only ever listens to what I say to him in order to pass it on to his fellow human beings whom I cannot address directly .... I will give him the strength to be active for Me as long as I need him for this ministry .... For it is the time of the end and everything shall still be done to save the souls from the abyss, to show them the path which leads to Me and which can only ever be the path of truth, which shines as light leading to the aim ....

Amen

Did God cause the apostasy? ....

B.D. 7932 from July 2nd 1961, taken from Book No. 83

One day you humans will understand that I Myself will never exert and never have exerted My influence over the spiritual being which I externalised as free and independent .... For as soon as I created it as a self-aware being it was also endowed with free will, and this free will was not in the slightest tied to My will, to My illumination of love or any other influence on My part .... The will was entirely free and able to decide either way. But the fact that the being possessed free will was also the guarantee that one day it would be able to change the state of a 'living creation' into the state of a 'child', which would have been unthinkable without free will. But My objective at the creation of the beings was true 'children of God' .... thus beings of supreme perfection which, however, had to attain this perfection themselves. The question will always arise in you humans as to whether the thought of apostasy was implanted by Me in these beings, as to whether they, in a manner of speaking, had to fall away, because I had set Myself this goal .... 'true children' .... when I created the beings. In that case you can also dispute the beings' free will, but this was the cause of, as well as the possibility for, the apostasy. However, I foresaw from the very beginning how My living creations would use their free will and, therefore, I was also able to recognise the justified goal in this apostasy. Yet neither the apostasy nor the goal was in any way determined by Me .... The apostasy was the result of free will and therefore did not have to happen .... The goal is the result of free will again .... It will be achieved one day but the time it takes is determined by the being .... And so it must be said that I certainly know everything, that one thing always substantiates the other and that no apostasy could have happened had I denied the being free will .... but that the goal I had in mind at the creation of all beings and which only signified supreme bliss even if it were preceded by times of immeasurable agonies, would then have become invalid .... Nevertheless, the voluntary apostasy of the beings was a transgression against Me and My love, for the being could have adapted its will to Mine, it did not have to turn away from Me and leave the law of eternal order .... And countless beings provided the evidence for this by remaining with Me and nevertheless being inconceivably happy .... These beings will also be permitted to attain the childship to God if they want to take the path through the abyss for the purpose of their fallen brothers' redemption ....

But the apostasy was not My doing, My will; yet for the sake of the highest goal I allowed it to happen and only ever emphasise again that these beings possessed absolute realisation, that they were illuminated by brightest light and that, through their wrongly inclined direction of will, they misused their freedom of will, which subsequently led to their wretched state. I did not prevent this apostasy or I Myself would not have respected their freedom of will, but this characterised the being as a divine one, because something perfect without free will was unthinkable. And once you have reached the goal of having become a true child of God, then My plan of deification will be completely understandable to you, and you will also regard the spirits' apostasy with different eyes, even though it gravely transgressed against My love. And since the law of eternal order is unchangeable, this deification could only ever proceed lawfully; it could not be attained in any other way because all divine characteristics, which I placed into the being at its creation, must be aspired to voluntarily which, due to the apostasy from Me, became a necessity but was also considerably more difficult than voluntarily remaining in the state of perfection .... The fact that the beings had fallen away and thus sinned against Me led to an extremely long state of torment .... which could never have happened had I Myself caused this apostasy in some form or other .... These beings' perfection cannot be doubted and yet they fell .... which can only ever be explained by their freedom of will, which was also a gift of grace that will never be taken away from them .... And the fallen spiritual beings' process of return also provided the non-fallen beings with the opportunity of attaining the childship to God, because they may also take the path through the 'abyss' for a redemptive mission .... that the 'apostasy from Me' is therefore not the sole prerequisite in order to attain the childship to God, but that I truly have other ways as well of shaping My created beings into My children .... Hence the apostasy was not necessary but possible on account of freedom of will. And I foresaw it from the very beginning and was therefore able to base My plan of Salvation on it, which made Me as well as My created beings extremely happy and which I will certainly achieve one day. And you, too, will one day be in the state of highest perfection and realise and understand the immeasurable love I have for all My living creations and that this love can only ever bring forth goodness and, therefore, will also help those who died of their own fault attain eternal life again ....

Amen

Address of God to anyone who desires it ....

B.D. 7933 from July 3rd 1961, taken from Book No. 83

Again and again I want to address you humans so that you will be placed into a bright spiritual state because you will be touched by a ray of light when I can convey My word to you. And thus as often as you give Me your ear and heart you shall also be allowed to hear Me, for I will never fail Myself when a child appeals to Me for My word, when a child desires to be addressed by Me Myself, because there is nothing more pleasing for Me than to be able to speak to My living creations which, through their will, enable Me to speak to them. And it will always be the purpose and aim of My speech to thereby intimately bind you to Me .... You will always be allowed to experience My love through My word, and My love will also awaken love in you again, and only then will you be guaranteed a life of bliss which awaits you when you enter the spiritual kingdom. For your life on earth is only a temporary state which truly cannot be called blissful, because you are still afflicted by many weaknesses and faults and thereby also exposed to suffering and worries which will burden you for as long as you are still far away from Me, as you are still imperfect .... But the purpose and aim of your earthly life is a transformation of your nature, a change back to love, which initially filled your whole being and therefore you were also blissfully happy .... And you shall again attain a blissful life in light and strength and freedom. You therefore only travel the path on earth as a human being in order to accomplish this change back to love, and I therefore speak to you again and again so that you remember your purpose of earthly life and now also live accordingly .... so that you strive towards Me again, let yourselves be permeated by Me with My strength of love and thus perfect yourselves in earthly life .... And if you now allow Me to speak to you, the guarantee is also given that you will mature on this earth .... for anyone who comes into direct contact with Me, who listens to My word, receives it in his heart and now lives accordingly, already consciously walks the last short stretch of the way, and he will soon have overcome, he will consciously walk the path to Me and also safely reach the aim: the final union with Me .... And since the return to Me is My everlasting plan, will remain My constant activity and My everlasting care, I will also constantly address My children who want to open themselves to Me and let themselves be illuminated by My love .... I will never leave a child without an answer when it listens within itself for My voice .... I will always speak so that it can hear Me, I will always let the living water flow out of the spring, My word will resound to anyone who desires to be addressed by Me, be it directly or through My messengers, for I want to make every person happy who opens his heart to Me so that I fill it with My love, with My spirit, which flows into every heart that shows love to Me .... And as soon as the human being desires to be addressed by Me he also demonstrates his love for Me, for he only wants to possess what the human being loves .... And I will truly always distribute abundantly, I will not give to you humans meagrely, and again and again you will be allowed to receive the evidence of My love: I will speak to you through human mouths, which only serve as mouthpieces when I cannot address you directly Myself .... But believe that My word applies to all of you .... believe that I will not leave out anyone who desires to hear Me, and believe that I will also find you and convey My word to you, for I know My own, I know their hearts' desires, and I will consider them all according to their desire ....

God - Love - Truth are one ....

B.D. 7934 from July 4th 1961, taken from Book No. 83

I want to take you all into My school, I Myself want to instruct you, you shall receive clarification from Me so that you can also be certain that the truth will be presented to you. But this always necessitates your free will, it necessitates your desire for the truth .... The fact that I keep mentioning the same is only intended to prove to you the importance of your having to desire the truth. I cannot convey it to you without your desire, that is, you will not be able to recognize it as 'truth' until you are filled with desire for it, because this is also part of My law of eternal order, that I will not make your will unfree, but this would be the case if you were forcibly led to the truth without feeling the slightest desire for it yourselves. And the desire must therefore be within you, because such desire also includes your desire to draw closer to Me Myself. Whatever you desire you also try to join, and the union with Me is the aim you should reach in earthly life. Yet only few people inwardly consider whether they really live in truth, whether the spiritual knowledge they were taught in the traditional way really corresponds to the truth. And in the same way only few people seriously strive for unification with Me, and this in turn makes the supply of truth necessary .... But it is the last time before the end .... People no longer change, i.e. they themselves no longer strive for change .... Therefore I nevertheless bring the truth closer to them and try everything to occupy their thoughts, to stimulate them to think about where the pure truth can be found .... I address people through My messengers who bring them My word on My behalf .... I try to win them all as My disciples who gladly and willingly allow themselves to be taught by Me. And once they have listened to Me they will also noticeably feel the strength of My word and no longer want to do without it .... And then they will also be willing to listen to Me, to receive the truth from Me, and then they will also receive the blessing of truth, for it leads to Me because it originated from Me Myself. For truth and I are one .... But love and I are also one .... Therefore, love must also be where truth is to enter, for one cannot be thought of without the other .... For love is the fire which radiates the light .... And "light" is: recognizing the truth, light is "wisdom from God" .... Where love prevails, error will never be able to prevail, for the light of love exposes error .... Where love is, I Myself am as eternal love, and where I Am, only truth can take hold .... And if you desire truth then you desire Me Myself, and then you will also always be active in love, because then you will be in the same element from which you were created, for you once emerged from My love, and you were permeated by My love and stood in brightest light .... You recognized the truth .... Due to your apostasy from Me you also lost your knowledge, you no longer recognized the truth as such and fell prey to error, as My adversary's share. Yet I call to you again and again: Come to Me and let Me teach you, so that you will walk in truth again and now also take the right path which will lead you to the aim. Truth alone illuminates the path for you, and therefore I also want to give you the light, because there is not much time left and you should still perfect yourselves in earthly life and can do so if the light shines from Me, if you let yourselves be taught by Me Myself, if you listen to Me Myself when My word sounds to you through My messengers. Again and again I guide the truth down to earth because every error means danger for you. But whether you accept the truth from Me is determined by your free will. But again and again I enlighten you as to the consequences for you if you don't pay attention to the pure truth from Me, if you are satisfied with spiritual knowledge whose origin you are unable to ascertain. Always remember that the adversary has great power before the end and that he truly also uses this power, for you grant him the power yourselves instead of keeping away from him and striving towards Me Myself through will and deed .... For this reason I can only ever warn and admonish you but not compulsorily direct your will so that it strives towards Me Myself. For this reason I can certainly offer you the truth but I cannot force you to accept it .... For you must make the final decision yourselves, and you will not have much time left to do so ....

Amen

You humans are approaching the end ....

B.D. 7935 from July 5th 1961, taken from Book No. 83

A period of Salvation comes to an end, for the time is fulfilled .... My plan of Salvation has been predetermined for eternity and will be carried out as decided by My love and wisdom. However, you humans cannot judge what the conclusion of an epoch of Salvation means, for you will never be able to envisage that a transformation on this earth will take place which will destroy all creatures, in which all living beings, all life, will be dissolved and wiped out .... As no parallel has ever been experienced by humanity before, it does not believe that the earth is approaching its end. You humans are facing inconceivable happenings but you will not attach the right significance to any of them since you are ignorant of the seriousness of your situation .... You are approaching the end .... What you see around yourselves, what exists and can be perceived by you, will cease to exist .... Everything will be destroyed, and even you yourselves will fall prey to this destruction if you do not belong to My Own, whom My power and My will shall lead away, as I have proclaimed .... whom I will lift up to heaven before the eyes of their fellow human beings because they belong to Me and I can and want to transfer them to the new earth once the work of transformation has taken place. The time is fulfilled .... For the duration of every period of Salvation is limited, even if it is so infinitely long that you humans no longer know its beginning and thus also deem an end impossible .... The fact that you now have to experience this end is only based on your own will, on your soul's past and present opposition towards Me, otherwise it would be unable to go astray, that is, it would not have to fear the banishment into matter, into the creations of the new earth.

Only your resistance determines your destiny, your fate after the end of this earth, for as soon as you abandon it you will turn to Me and then you will also belong to My Own, whom I want to save before the end arrives. Everything related to an 'end of the old earth' is incomprehensible to those of you who have no spiritual bond whatsoever, and you will never believe that the time has come when every individual person has to make a decision for life or death .... You will have to make the decision; no-one can be spared from it. And you should not assume that you are safe, that the end of this 'creation work earth' is yet to take a long time .... The end will come sooner than you think .... precisely because the time is fulfilled. And I Myself Am steadfast in My Nature, I Am steadfast in My reign and activity, and I Am steadfast in My Word. And so, what I have told you must also come to pass, that My plan will be implemented when the time has come .... And the fact that it has come can be seen by the many signs which I brought to your attention, which I pointed out every time I mentioned the end of this earth .... He who has ears to hear, let him hear .... He who has eyes to see, let him see .... But you humans do not want to hear and see. And thus I cannot reveal Myself more plainly in order to compel you into believing. But My warnings will not stop until the day has come. And blessed are those who believe My Word, who live their life in accordance with this belief and unite themselves with Me in love and trust .... For they will be saved for time and eternity, I will take care of them in every earthly and spiritual adversity, and never again will they have to fear an end because I will remove them before the hour of horror and will indeed allow them to observe the process of destruction, but only in order to let them recognise My might and magnificence and to testify to them on the new earth, where all suffering will be over and where they will be allowed to experience the happiness of paradise. The time is fulfilled, and it will come to pass as it has been proclaimed, for My Word is and forever will remain truth ....

Amen

Free will must accept the light ....

B.D. 7936 from July 6th 1961, taken from Book No. 83

I want to bring you light because you are living in darkness .... I want to lead you out of the darkness of night into the light of day, I want to enlighten your spirit and illuminate you with My light of love, I want to make you happy because you are miserable in your spiritual darkness. I want the sun of My spirit to shine upon you .... I want to give you that which you are lacking: the pure truth from God .... I Myself want to teach you, for then the darkness in you can no longer reign, then the light of My love will radiate into your hearts and make you blissfully happy, for then you will no longer repel Me, as you did when you fell away from Me, but listen to Me once again and accept the light of My love, as it was in the beginning .... The fact that you humans are lacking light cannot be denied by you, for you have no idea about the meaning and purpose of your existence, about the reason for your earthly progress, about the meaning and purpose of any work of creation .... you have no knowledge about the correlations and especially not about your relationship with your God and Creator .... You don't recognise your Father in Me and are unaware of the goal that you ought to unite with Me as your Father of eternity in order to be eternally happy again, as you were in the beginning. All this is unknown to you and neither do you question it, and thus you live in darkness and don't look for the light .... but this state is a wretched one for you, because darkness also amounts to death, only light is really life .... But I want to awaken you to life from your lifeless state and therefore I bring you the light. And trust Me, this light will make you happy, you will be glad when you know about everything and can live your earthly life consciously because you want to reach the goal which comprises eternal beatitude. I do not want you to continue your life on earth in this dark state nor do I want you to take notice of the deceptive lights which neither spiritually enlighten you nor give you bliss ....

I want to give you true light, knowledge which corresponds to the truth and which must originate from Me because only I Am the primary source of truth, because I Am the light of eternity. You humans are My creatures and therefore possess My love because you emerged from My love. But I always want to give pleasure to that which belongs to Me .... Darkness is not a blessed state, only light can give joy to the being, and I want to give this gift to you. Yet I can only ever just offer you My gift of love .... and then your free will must be willing to accept this gift .... I can and want to do whatever it takes in order to return you to a state of happiness but one thing I Am unable to do is to give you against your will that which you need to be happy. I can certainly offer you light but I cannot force you to accept it and to let it shine into your hearts .... You must open your heart to Me and allow the ray of My light of love to enter it, then everything will become bright and clear within you and you will be happy .... And since your free will is the only decisive factor as to whether you move in the darkness of night or in the light of day, I can only ever enlighten you of the fact that this free will determines your destiny, your fate, in eternity .... that you have to direct your free will towards Me by relinquishing your opposition and strive towards Me with all your mind .... And you will be brightly illuminated by My divine light of love, then you will receive the kind of knowledge which will bring you joy, for you will realise all correlations and find out about your origin, about your process across the earth and your goal .... And as soon as you become enlightened you will also find the path which leads to Me .... And you will walk it of your own volition in order to reach Me, because in the light of truth you finally recognise Me Myself, because then you will love Me too and aim to join Me forever .... And I will never ever let go of you again, for My love brought you into existence and My love will pursue you until you have become My Own eternally ....

Amen

Walk of the angels through the depth ....

B.D. 7937 from July 7th 1961, taken from Book No. 83

My angels, too, must walk the path through the depths if they want to reach the highest degree of perfection .... the childship of God .... Such a 'depth' will still be present for eternal times, for the process of returning the spiritual substance, which once left Me of its own free will, will still take eternal times .... And again and again I will need helpers from the kingdom of light to assist people on earth in their last test of will. And this necessitates an embodiment in the flesh on this earth which always means a path through 'the abyss' for the spiritual being. I have known since eternity which path My living creations chose; I knew that they would fall away from Me; yet I also know how to correct everything wrong so that order will always be restored again, and I also know how to positively correct the effect of every direction of will, for truly nothing is impossible for Me, and My wisdom recognizes everything, and love always works for the best of all living creations, of everything that has emerged from My hand. Time is irrelevant to Me, for a thousand years are like a day to Me .... but I know that one day all that has come forth from Me will be incomparably blissful .... I know that nothing is impossible for Me and that I will therefore be able to make all beings happy with My love and that this happiness will have no limits. And the beings which have remained faithful to Me will always help Me to do so, because thereby they will also be able to increase their own beatitude ever more and carry out extremely beneficial work in the abyss, which can only be carried out by angelic beings, when again and again people will be in a stage where My adversary is exceedingly effective .... when people are facing the end of a redemption period, which will occur again and again as soon as the time is fulfilled .... My plan of salvation is so immense that it can only be revealed to you humans in the smallest measure, and it encompasses eternities .... ever new eras of redemption are envisaged in it, ever new embodiments of the once fallen original spirits as human beings will take place in these eras .... the kingdom of light will always receive returned beings whom I will be able to draw to My heart as My children .... But again and again beings will also have to start the cycle of their development anew if they fail in the stage as a human being .... And therefore I also need spiritual help on this earth again and again, who serve as mediators between Me and people and who are willing to carry out a redeeming activity on earth .... And again and again beings of light, angels who once remained faithful to Me, offer themselves for this activity, who want to walk the path across earth for love of the fallen and who can also achieve the childship to God through their missionary path. But time is indifferent because the perfect knows no concept of time .... And the spiritual being which places itself under My will will always be infinitely happy and therefore always willing to help with the work of salvation for the fallen spiritual being, which also already lasts eternities and will still require eternities .... but which you humans can never overlook, neither in terms of space nor time .... Once the working and activity of your God and creator will be revealed to you .... I reveal Myself to you again and again because you are a part of Me and should know about My overwhelming love for you, which is the reason for your being and which applies to you for all eternity .... I want to reveal to you what is possible for you to grasp, and I always want to tell you that I do not want to be and remain the distant God and creator for you but want to be recognized by you as the most loving father, Whom you strive for with all your senses and with all your strength .... For I want to be united with you for all eternity, because you came forth from Me and My love and this love of Mine for you will never end .... And everything that strives towards Me will be allowed to experience My love .... it will be immeasurably happy again, as it was in the beginning ....

Amen

Unchanged Word .... Important missionary work ....

B.D. 7938 from July 8th 1961, taken from Book No. 83

You should steadfastly continue on the path you have taken when you offered your service to Me .... You should only ever listen to the instructions given to you by the custodian of the house, for it is necessary to rescue the souls which are at great risk, since the end is approaching .... And thus you should listen to Me, you should only ever give Me the opportunity to speak to you, for you must know what My will consists of because you should live your life accordingly. And you should believe the information revealed to you through My Word .... I want to address all people through My servants on Earth who enable Me to speak through them. And you should always regard them as My messengers who proclaim the will of their Lord to you, who ask you to prepare yourselves and provide Me with an abode which serves Me well when I Myself come knocking at the door of your heart in order to enter it .... And I will truly bless those of you who are of service to Me by allowing Me to speak through you .... This voluntarily accepted task of yours, your mission, is very important, and you will indeed finish it in accordance with My will, for time and again I convey strength to you and always show you the ways which enable you to successfully work in My vineyard .... Time after time I repel My adversary from you, who will not cease in his attempts of extinguishing the light where it was kindled by My love .... Yet he will not succeed, for you are surrounded by spiritual guardians which weaken his activity. And you can safely continue with your vineyard work by serving Me as a vessel for the spirit into which I Am able to flow .... so that My Word can be transmitted to Earth and made accessible to people of good will. And anyone who is thus directly addressed by Me need not fear that his work will be in vain, that My Word will not serve its right purpose, that the 'living water' might run dry without having served the human being with its inherent benefit .... to purify the soul and to strengthen it for its pilgrimage on this earth .... My Word will prevail, for it is strength and light in itself .... and My Word will truly not fail to have the desired effect ....' My Word', only that which comes forth from Me, has and will keep this strength. However, as soon as it is changed through human will it will lose its strength and then it can never be considered to be My Word .... This is aimed at all those of you who arbitrarily try to improve My Word and thus change it .... For that which originates from Me does not require any improvement, it can thereby only lose value, and for this you, who make such corrections, will have to justify yourselves, because you are as yet unable to appreciate the grace of a direct Word-reception.

However, those of you who are of service to Me and therefore accept My Word, don't let yourselves be misled but continue to work according to My will .... Allow Me to speak through you, for the human race needs My Word, it suffers great spiritual adversity; it needs an unusual gift of strength, it needs extraordinary signs and the evidence of My love, it needs to be strengthened in its faith, which is still weak .... Humanity needs My Word, and since I cannot manifest Myself openly on account of their freedom of will, I need you to serve Me as a mouthpiece so that you give Me the opportunity to speak to all people .... For I still want to rescue many people before the end, I still want many people to receive My Word which is blessed with My strength .... Therefore leave all your problems to Me, be they of an earthly or spiritual kind .... And keep working for Me and My kingdom, be faithful servants to Me who fulfil the will of their Lord and I will bless your work ....

Amen

Water contamination warning ....

B.D. 7939 from July 9th 1961, taken from Book No. 83

The slightest turbidity of the spring water clearly flowing out from Me can also cancel its healing power, it can make the water unfit for consumption, it can even endanger a human life if poisonous substances are added to the water, for even the smallest amount is then enough to trigger a devastating effect, which you are all well aware of. And this example should always make you think why I admonish you to draw the water of life from the spring, why I emphasize again and again that you should bend down and draw water where I have opened up a spring from which the living water flows .... You should not believe that all water has the same healing power .... that every word has the same effect on your souls when it has already been deformed by human additions .... when it can no longer be regarded as 'My word' because it has undergone a change, because it is no longer the same that flowed from 'the source'. And it may not have undergone a change in meaning, but it is human spiritual knowledge at the same moment as it was changed by human beings ..... And then you can no longer speak of a divine revelation in which you yourselves do not believe, otherwise you would not presume to change it .... Accept My gift of grace at the source and know that you will then offer your soul a true refreshment, that you will help your soul to recover, that you can now also continue your pilgrimage on earth strengthened and that you will reach the aim, because with divine strength you will also be able to master the most difficult ascent and need not fear becoming weak and sinking down .... My water of life will refresh you again and again as soon as you desire it and sincerely ask Me for it. And your soul constantly needs food and drink as long as it stays on earth .... It constantly needs My help, for it enters this earth in a weakened state and shall be able to enter the kingdom of the beyond in a mature state when its earthly existence is over. And this earthly progress requires the supply of food and drink .... which signifies the offering of My word to it…. And therefore I will always be ready to administer this food to it, I will always supply the soul with My word and only require that it willingly listens to Me, that it thus goes to the spring and draws from this source, that it drinks the living water which supplies it with everything it needs to mature, to become healthy. For whatever comes forth from Me must possess this strength, because I am the source of strength from eternity, from Whom all life emerged and from Whom all life is also sustained, as it is My will .... And therefore you should all seek out the source which is close to you .... you shall only turn to Me Myself and desire from Me the water of life .... And I will let it flow to each one of you, I will truly not leave out anyone who thirsts for it. And you will not need to make use of a substitute, the 'source' will always be at your disposal, Which is accessible to everyone who needs strength for his soul, who wants to let Me Myself speak to him and who therefore always draws 'from the source' and need not fear any additional human work if I Myself can speak to him .... directly or through My messengers, who present him with the living water as it flows from the source .... I have blessed My word with My strength, and you should all make use of this strength, because only the strength of My word helps your soul to mature and therefore I have made the source accessible to you from which the living water flows ....

Amen

Man's conscious approach to God ....

B.D. 7940 from July 11th 1961, taken from Book No. 83

And I will be your companion in all your ways .... I will guide you, I will walk beside you, I will instruct you and advise you and make My will known to you .... and if you fulfil this will of Mine you will also successfully complete your earthly path of life .... You will have reached the aim of being eternally united with Me and now be able to work in freedom, light and strength .... Thus I Myself want to be your companion, then I will also always be able to ward off My adversary from you who will not stop harassing you, and this the more the closer the end is. And therefore I inform you again and again through the word that you are in danger as long as you don't let Me Myself walk next to you through your free will to be united with Me. You live your earthly life and don't know that an everlasting battle is being waged around you in the spiritual world which applies to your soul .... And you don't know that there is a continuous struggle for your soul on the part of the world of light and the dark world. Both forces want to win you over, and you yourselves make the final decision as to which forces will gain victory over you .... You yourselves determine in which sphere you want to dwell, and you determine this through your will, which is turned towards or away from Me. And truly, only a brief thought is enough for you to call Me to your side and I will not leave you and protect you from further influence by My adversary and his helpers. Just let Me always walk by your side and your pilgrimage on earth will be blessed .... It is only a matter of your conscious approach to Me in earthly life. If you achieve this of your own free will, you will also have passed your test of earthly life, for the purpose of which you were allowed to embody yourselves on earth. Yet I cannot force you to turn to Me either, I can only ever try to draw you to Myself through loving words, I can only ever approach you, force Myself into your thoughts and fatefully intervene in your life .... But I always have to leave the effect to yourselves. You must decide for yourselves in free will .... You must grasp My hand yourselves and want Me to be with you and no longer leave you .... But this will also decides your fate in eternity. But all of you humans don't have much time left .... the end is near and you will all be taken by surprise, and your fate will now also be according to your attitude towards Me, which is why I admonish you again and again to seek the bond with your God and creator of eternity, to draw close to Him like a child draws close to its father, and now also to stand under My protection until the end has come. Precisely the time of the end prompts Me to repeatedly make My will known to you, which will always remain the same: that you live in love, because then you will establish the most secure bond with Me, Who am love Myself .... work in love and remain in constant prayer .... And you will draw Me to you and I will never leave you again forever .... For I Myself am love, and he who abides in love abides in Me and I in him .... And intimate prayer likewise unites the child with the father and enables My strength to overflow to always carry out My will .... And if you are united with Me then you no longer need to fear anything .... neither My adversary nor the coming end, for then you belong to My own who will stand firm until the end and whom I will protect in physical and spiritual adversity .... You need only give your will to Me, subordinate it to Mine and let your thoughts wander into spiritual spheres from time to time .... And My love will take hold of you and guide you until the end of your life .... I will walk beside you, you will no longer be lonely and abandoned .... Then you will walk by My hand and return home to the fatherland ....

Amen

Blessing of spiritual exchange ....

B.D. 7941 from July 14th 1961, taken from Book No. 83

In every school of thought you will find people who strive for the pure truth. And bringing them My word signifies the fulfilment of their desire, for as soon as they are serious in their search for truth they will also recognize it in the word which is conveyed to you from above .... which proves and testifies to Me Myself. And I Myself will guide you, My servants, so that you will meet them. I Myself open the doors for you through which you can enter and offer the delicious gift of your lord. And they will listen to you, for they will accept everything into their hearts, because their thoughts are also rightly directed through their desire for truth, because they recognize and are willing to accept .... Therefore you should speak everywhere if you feel the inner urge to do so, for you hear My instructions within yourselves and I truly know which hearts open themselves to My word .... I truly know where souls can still be won for Me and My kingdom .... But you should restrain yourselves where you inwardly feel resistance, for all efforts of love are in vain there because they are still under My adversary's control and are not willing to withdraw from this control. As long as you receive My word directly .... even if it is sent to you through messengers .... I speak to you humans, and then you also have the duty to inform your fellow human beings of what makes you happy yourselves and to leave it up to them whether they also want to be made happy. And depending on your suitability for vineyard work you will be brought together with people whom I also want to redeem, to whom I also want to send the truth. This is why spiritual conversations will always be blessed which result in the human being's thoughts being occupied with the world which he cannot see and grasp. And the further direction of thought will also be according to his will, according to his will he will be processed by good or evil spiritual forces .... but always protected from the latter if he keeps to My word .... if he is of good will. I need mediators on earth where I Myself cannot yet address people. For people need My word, and you often find access to people's hearts more easily because they always feel a certain freedom to be able to defend themselves against a human statement if they don't like it, and then a change of thinking can nevertheless be achieved through speech and counter-speech. For My word does not compel acceptance as long as they regard it as a human being's statement, and yet it will not remain without effect as soon as the human being strives for truthful knowledge. However, the indifferent human being will always let My word fall on his ears, and he must remain in his lightless state until he thinks better of it. And you humans can believe that I will not pass any of you by, that I want to speak to all of you one day and that this will also happen one day. It is just that My address will also touch you painfully at times when I have to replace My word with strokes of fate because you pay no attention to the former. Then I have to touch you harshly, but you should be able to recognize the power of a God and creator in order to turn to Me .... I only require your living thoughts of Me and then I will also reveal Myself to you in whatever way it may be .... And this is the only thing I want to achieve, that you humans in spiritual exchange let Me Myself be in your midst, that you truly express your thoughts .... that not only your mouth utters the word 'God' .... Then I can be in your midst and address you Myself through those who let Me speak through them, who serve Me as an instrument, that they are merely a form through which I Myself speak to you. Just try to understand that I want to make contact with each one of you but that I need your free will to do so, because I don't use coercion and you have the freedom to accept or reject Me and My word. Yet don't resist, and you will truly experience the blessing which a connection with Me, your God and creator, has to result in .... For every person is considered according to his will .... And whoever wants to attain the truth will be supplied with it, for he will then desire Me, Who is the eternal truth .... And if you then want Me to address you Myself, then you will also recognize the father's voice. You will feel directly addressed by Me and My words will penetrate your hearts, and then you will know that you are united with Me .... that I Myself reveal Myself to you .... And you can now also remain in this certainty that I always speak to you when you intimately unite with Me and desire My address ....

Amen

Origin of the creation work 'earth' ....

B.D. 7942 from July 15th 1961, taken from Book No. 83

The path of the spirits across the earth will extend into eternity .... For the spirits themselves became the matter which earth and all its creations consist of .... God's will turned solidified spiritual substance into matter, thus the whole of the creation work earth .... as well as all creations in the entire universe .... is God's once emanated strength which He externalised as a 'being' but which so changed itself that it finally became mere hardened substance, which was then transformed into creations of all kinds.

This took place over an infinitely long period of time, because the 'transformation' also occurred in lawful order, the rise of what is now visible as 'inhabited earth' happened during countless phases of development .... it was not an instantly externalised work of God's creative power .... since even the slow development served its purpose .... Time and again minutely disintegrated spiritual particles were captured and reshaped, the process took an inconceivably long time before earth had formed itself into a work of creation which could serve as an abode and sustain physical life for the constantly maturing spiritual substance, as it was designated by God's eternal plan of Salvation. And even this spiritual substance took an endless time before it reached the degree when it was allowed to live as a human being on earth for the purpose of its final perfection.

This last earthly progress as a human being is but a moment in time compared with the infinitely long period of the earth's preliminary development .... Although the creation of every form was indeed the work of an instant for God, because His will and His strength externalised every thought as an existing work .... yet the resistance of the once fallen spirits determined the length of time until their physical transformation. For God did not force this spiritual substance but His strength of love captured it until its resistance had somewhat subsided in order to then encase it in accordance with His plan, to then shape it into various forms where it would perform some kind of activity which was so minimal that, again, an infinitely long time passed before these forms could gradually disintegrate and change ....

The development of earth took ages until it could be inhabited by living beings, and these, in turn, prepared the earth for yet another inconceivably long time to become suitable for serving human beings as a last place of development .... The tiny individual particles of the human soul, however, had passed through all creations .... The fall from the highest pinnacle into the abyss had taken so long that thus an equally long time had been necessary to ascend from the abyss to the point when the being could receive its self-awareness again, that this final perfection then made it possible to travel the last path of ascent. But for the time being the creation had emerged, and this incorporates the innumerable fallen spirits whose return to God will subsequently also take an infinitely long time, hence an end of creation cannot be foreseen as yet ....

Nevertheless, the 'creations' exist and everything will take its lawful course .... They are brought to life by ever new minute particles of spirit whose higher development takes place by way of constantly changing their outer form, and thus a continuous developing and disintegrating of every material creation can be observed .... All works of creation repeatedly renew themselves in this manner and thus serve the inherent spirit to achieve maturity, just as they serve humanity's continued development by safeguarding their physical life an earth. As long as the spirits bound in the creations do not have free will their path of higher development proceeds in accordance with God's will .... the constrained spiritual substance serves in some form or other and thereby matures gradually .... But as soon as the spirit lives on earth as a human being it is once again in possession of free will and then it is able .... instead of continuing to ascend .... to stop its development or to regress again. During the final period of its process of development it is able to fail .... And this regression can lead to the result that the spirit in the human being .... the 'soul' or the once 'fallen original spirit' .... will harden again as before. The outcome will be a disintegration of the soul into countless minute particles again which will have to take the path through the material creations once more .... And this process, which has now become necessary again, also requires the disintegration and transformation of all works of creation .... which can be described as the end of one earthly period and the start of a new one.

And thus you humans should try to explain it to yourselves, that such periodically enforced processes of transformation concerning the creation work earth will take place in accordance with God's will. They are always based on God's love and wisdom and only ever serve the redemption of the once fallen spirits .... And you need to also be prepared for such interventions by God when people no longer recognise the true purpose of their existence, when they thus do not use their earthly life for the maturing of their souls, for their final perfection. For the sole purpose of every work of creation is to bring the human soul into maturity, to help it become what it once was in the beginning .... a supremely perfect being, which originated from God's love but voluntarily apostatised from Him .... It shall return to Him again, and God Himself has provided it with the path of return through all the creations on earth ....

Amen

Peace in God .... Power supply ....

B.D. 7943 from July 16th 1961, taken from Book No. 83

Enter into intimate contact with Me and you will find the peace which the world cannot give you .... As soon as you allow My presence by intimately praying to Me, the sphere around you will also be purified, for the unspiritual flees the light, and light is within you when I am with you. The bond with Me is truly an act which you accomplish yourselves and which is also associated with visible blessings .... And even if your body does not feel this, your soul does, which ascends step by step and matures until perfection. You truly can do nothing better than to let your thoughts wander to Me again and again .... again and again to send a silent prayer to Me and thus express your love which fills you otherwise you would not seek My presence, otherwise you would keep your distance from Me and your thoughts would be turned towards the world. But as soon as you establish the bond with Me through intimate thoughts you also draw Me to yourselves, for these thoughts affect Me because they are spirit and life if they apply to Me .... And you have now inwardly made a confession to Me .... you acknowledge Me again, as you once refused to acknowledge Me. But this apostasy from Me did not bring you beatitude. And you are and remain wretched as long as you remain distant from Me by virtue of your free will. But the fact that the return to Me, the intimate bond of free will, will also bring you beatitude is only understandable, and therefore I say to you that you will find the peace which the world cannot give you .... The peace of the soul lets the human being endure all physical adversity, he hardly feels it and is harmonious in his thoughts and actions, for he lives in peace with Me, he is no longer My adversary, he is in intimate bond with Me; he sees in Me the friend, the brother, the father .... And he thus knows himself to be in faithful guard, he no longer needs to fear the world and nothing that still belongs to the world .... And his earthly life is now only a time of purification for his soul, which shall enter the kingdom of the beyond clearly and without slag when its hour has come to leave the body and return to Me in its father's house. And truly, you will succeed in purifying your soul quickly and well if you repeatedly take refuge in Me, if you don't leave Me out of your thoughts .... If you want Me to be present to you and earnestly seek My nearness in heartfelt prayer, then I will truly let Myself be found, for I Myself want to be united with My children, I Myself want to reveal Myself to them, which is only ever possible if a person induces Me to be present through silent, heartfelt prayer. You can achieve much through your mental dwelling with Me, your God and father of eternity, for although you do not address any requests to Me you will nevertheless be able to receive an abundance of strength which you also need for your pilgrimage on this earth. Again and again your tempter will approach you and want to turn you away from Me. But if you possess strength from Me you will be able to push him away from you and he will no longer have any power, for he will have to give way to My strength and leave you .... And therefore don't miss any opportunity which earns you a supply of strength .... Join with Me again and again and long for My presence .... Always remain united with Me in thought .... Only want to be and remain Mine, and this will will be blessed. You will achieve what you strive for; you will receive what you ask for; I will always be close to you and guide you, and you can now walk all paths without hesitation. As long as you let Me walk by your side through your thoughts and intentions you are in good hands and you will safely reach your aim. The bond with Me will become ever more intimate until one day you will be merged with Me and remain with Me for all eternity ....

Amen

Coming in the clouds ....

B.D. 7944 from July 18th 1961, taken from Book No. 83

You all should know that I will return in the clouds .... that I will descend to earth in the same way as I once ascended to heaven .... that My Own will see Me in brilliance and glory, just as My disciples once saw Me, and that I will take My Own from earth because the day of the end has come .... Admittedly, prior to that I already descended to earth in the Word, for I Am the Word Myself, and have given you the promise that I will stay with you until the end of the world .... but My obvious appearance will not happen yet, for it will constitute the end of one and the beginning of a new earthly period ....

My coming in the clouds has to be understood literally, yet only few will see Me, for My flock is small and only My Own will be able to endure seeing Me, I will only be visible to My Own and allow them to behold My might and glory .... And this shall be your hope in hours of hardship and affliction by hostile powers to God .... for in the end everything will be hostile to God, the rulers and their followers, the people who take their side in the battle of faith. They all will take action against you, who want to remain loyal to Me and persevere to the end .... They will put you under great pressure and then you shall hope for My coming, for I will not leave you in distress of body and soul, I will save you and lift you to a place of peace, and your faith will be so strong that I will be able to show Myself when I come in the clouds in order to judge the living and the dead .... Then the great separation of the spirits will take place and My adversary will no longer have control over you .... For he and his adherents will be bound for a long time. Only few people sincerely believe that My return is imminent .... But the time is fulfilled and I no longer say: I will come when the time is fulfilled, but I say: the time is fulfilled .... You can only count on a very short time, on just a few days, compared to the long period of time that has passed since an 'end' was prophesied. You are living in the last days even if you refuse to believe it ....

My coming is soon about to happen to you .... Hence take care that you, too, belong to the chosen ones who will experience My coming while still in the flesh, who may behold Me in all My radiance and glory, whom I will lift to heaven just before the end .... Just want to belong to them and, truly, I will give you the strength to turn your will into action. Let Me speak to you time and again and always strive to accept My will and you will establish a connection with Me, you will join Me and also be counted as My Own whom I will rescue before the end happens. For it is certain that I will come Myself .... And you should also believe, without a shadow of doubt, that all of you with a living faith and who approach Me with love, will be able to behold Me, for My Word is truth and will come to pass.

People who deny 'My coming', who only want to understand and explain this arrival figuratively, are not yet as profoundly devoted as to be united with Me, but the immense earthly hardship before the end will still strengthen their faith if they are of good will. And they themselves will pray for My coming, because they will realise that only I can provide the rescue which they cannot expect from another side any longer .... You should believe that I will save you from utmost adversity and await the hour when My promise fulfils itself. And then My adversary will be defeated, yet with him also his many followers, who will be taken in by the earth again .... Therefore hope and persevere, for the hour of your deliverance will come, the day of separating the spirits will arrive .... There will be an earthly and spiritual change which you will experience and which has been constantly proclaimed to you in Word and Scripture ....

Amen

Let the light of truth illuminate the way ....

B.D. 7945 from July 19th 1961, taken from Book No. 83

I will introduce you to the truth, as I have promised you .... For truth alone is the light you need on earth which shall illuminate the path that leads to Me, back to your father's house. Without truth you walk in dense darkness which My adversary has spread over you because he wants to prevent you from finding the path to Me and because he wants to prevent the desire for Me from awakening in you at all. Therefore he also tries to distort Me and My nature; he portrays Me to you humans in a completely wrong way, he gives you a distorted image of Me, he wants to prevent you from recognizing Me and loving Me .... he portrays Me as a being who is imperfect .... as a God of vengeance and wrath, as a harsh and severe judge .... as a being which lacks all love, otherwise He would not teach of eternal damnation and thereby only awaken fear and anxiety in people, which excludes all love for Me. But only love can bring about your return to Me. Love for Me must cause you to strive towards Me and thus to fulfil My will, which again is only a life of love .... Love is therefore the fundamental principle of My eternal order .... And you must be instructed in truth in order to gain a correct concept of the nature of your God and creator, Who wants to be your father and therefore courts your love. Only the truth gives you a clear picture of Me and My nature, and therefore I convey the truth to you, because then it will become light in you and you will recognize Me correctly .... For both I and he fight for your souls .... And that is why he wants to keep you in spiritual darkness, because the light reveals Me Myself as well as his nature and then the souls will be lost to him who recognize and learn to love Me in the light of truth and then also strive towards Me of their own free will. When I lived on earth I was well aware of the lightless state humanity is in as long as it is not introduced to the truth by Me. And therefore I gave you the promise that I Myself will remain with you until the end of the world .... that I will send you the comforter, the spirit of truth .... But you must always declare your willingness yourselves, you must desire the light so that it may shine and illuminate the path which leads to Me. Then you will truly no longer need to fear darkness nor the prince of darkness, for he himself will flee the light which radiates from Me .... and he will always try to extinguish it but to no avail, because .... where the light from Me can once shine .... My guardians also stand and protect it from his influence. And thus it is only up to you humans yourselves whether you want to escape the darkness .... I will always kindle a light for you which breaks through the darkness as soon as you only desire light. Thus I will always convey the truth to you from Me, I will instruct you through the spirit as I did on earth, and if you accept My instructions and live your life in accordance with My will then you will also become enlightened yourselves and recognize Me, your God and father of eternity, you will love Me and strive towards Me, and then I will take hold of you and truly no longer let you fall back into darkness, then you will clearly see the path in front of you which you have to take in order to reach Me, and then you will consciously travel your earthly path with the aim of reaching the height where I Myself await you, Who longs for your return and therefore will always radiate bright light .... And the truth will make you happy which will reveal everything to you: your former destiny and nature and your aim to be again what you were in the beginning ....

Amen

Teachers are trained by God Himself ....

B.D. 7946 from July 21st 1961, taken from Book No. 83

I want to be your constant teacher .... only then will you be guaranteed to walk in truth and also be able to teach your fellow human beings again, if you yourselves abide by My word, which you receive from Me .... I seek to impart knowledge to you .... first of all I preach love to you, because only then will you be able to receive true knowledge from Me and also understand it .... And so you should also do it: You should first offer your fellow human beings the gospel of love, for only then can you offer them the truth from Me if they accept the divine teaching of love and follow it .... because only then will the spirit in them guarantee right thinking and thus also right understanding for deeper wisdoms .... I cannot address all people directly, therefore I need mediators, I need willing servants who allow themselves to be trained as My teachers by Myself .... who are willing to pass on again what they receive themselves .... who are also themselves so far pre-educated by Me that they are active for Me in My will. And if I now instruct them Myself I will also give them the right understanding for it and they can now also safely exercise their teaching ministry .... They will always speak what I Myself convey to them through the spirit, they will never enlighten their fellow human beings out of their intellect but only ever speak guided by My spirit; they will also have the gift to express themselves intelligibly so that the fellow human being will indeed believe to hear the words of a 'human being' but these words will touch his heart and can be perceived as divine words. Since I want the truth to be conveyed to people I also have to educate suitable teachers to whom I convey My word directly, whom I therefore address directly and instruct Myself and who then cannot err if they represent the truth from Me. And therefore these teachers are also given extensive spiritual knowledge, because they should answer every question and also have to be able to refute every objection .... And thus those who receive My word directly from Me will also be able to understand everything themselves and therefore also speak with conviction again .... You humans should therefore not assume that they only mechanically receive spiritual knowledge which they themselves cannot grasp or judge .... For as soon as the prerequisites are in place for Me to address a person directly because he has a mission to fulfil, then there is also a guarantee that the person will recognize the spiritual knowledge he receives, for he will be guided by Me Myself into 'recognizing' it .... He will be given light himself, and thus his thinking must also be right .... My word is always blessed with My strength, and this strength does not fail to have an effect .... The human being's soul matures and this means that it increasingly enters the state of light, that it is given back the knowledge it originally possessed .... it means that the human being, whom I can address directly, will become enlightened from within and that he will also understand all knowledge which is presented to him. And then he is also able to teach and to clearly and comprehensibly explain the correlations to his fellow human beings .... he is able to pass on the pure truth when the opportunity arises in spiritual exchange. For he has declared himself willing to serve Me .... Thus I will use him where I need him. And he will then also speak on My behalf when he feels urged to speak for Me and My kingdom. For then he will not speak himself but I will speak through him .... Then I make My promise come true: "Where two or three are gathered in My name, there am I in the midst of them .... "

Amen

Life of love protects from error ....

B.D. 7947 from July 22nd 1961, taken from Book No. 83

I have to emphasize time and again that only truth can bring you joy .... How often has error already been explained to you and you do not recognise it as such. By this I only refer to mental concepts which do not relate to earthly knowledge but extend into the spiritual realm, which you humans will never be able to prove, which can only be believed. This mental information, however, must correspond to the truth if it is to have beneficial effects .... You can be totally devoid of knowledge and need not endeavour to learn anything either .... but then your life as a human being would be completely meaningless, for it would never attain its purpose: your perfection. But if the wrong knowledge is given to you, your earthly life can be equally pointless, because wrong knowledge is darkness of spirit .... But you should live in light, only then will you fulfil the purpose of your earthly life: your soul will mature fully, for you will live a conscious life and your conduct will be in accordance with My will. Consequently, imparting the truth and accepting it has to be the first condition for you to reach your goal ....

But you have free will, and this alone determines your attitude to truth. Only this determines whether you will ask for truth and want to reject error .... and then the truth will be offered to you with certainty, then you will walk on earth in the light of truth in every way and arrive at your goal. This will, however, is only weakly present amongst people, they mostly accept everything indifferently, and because of their indifference error adheres to them far more .... they do not recognise it as such, and their earthly life may then have been in vain unless they become spiritually enlightened through a life of love and are saved from the downfall. And the crucial factor for a person is his decision to live a life of love, because then he will also be able to differentiate between truth and error ....

And thus, he should consider the divine teaching of love as the first and most important truth .... If he accepts it as pure truth and lives accordingly, it will be easy for him to recognise wrong teachings concerning the spiritual realm as misguided, and he will dismiss them .... But if other, humanly conceived, doctrines are presented to a person as credible they may very easily take precedence over his love for Me and one's neighbour, or I will no longer be regarded as the most perfect Being and therefore love cannot be offered to Me either .... And then error will have won, it will have spread darkness and clouded people's thoughts ....

Only truth will bring you true light .... And all of you are able to attain truth, for I do not withhold it from anyone who desires it. And you should know that the desire for truth will grow ever stronger when you fulfil the divine commandments of love. Hence, where love is preached to you, you will also be instructed in truth, for as soon as a preacher emphasizes love for Me and for one's neighbour his thoughts will be enlightened and his words will therefore always be truth .... He will deter misguided spiritual knowledge and never preach it to you, because he will be prompted by love to proclaim only the pure truth. And thus My constant reminder to you is that you should give full expression to My divine teaching of love .... Then you will not run the risk of falling prey to error, and your earthly life will certainly not be a waste of time .... You will walk brightly lit paths, you will be thoughtful and spiritually enlightened, for love is the Divine within you, I will always be present in you when you remain within love .... Only true thoughts can be where I Am, because I Myself will enlighten you through the spirit, which will only ever impart pure truth to you ....

Amen

Wrestling of the beings of light in the realm of darkness ....

B.D. 7948 from July 24th 1961, taken from Book No. 83

In the spiritual kingdom, too, there is an incessant battle for the souls, for My adversary rages there as well, and he seeks to prevent the souls from taking the path to ascent .... In the spiritual kingdom too the adversary seeks to push the souls away from the light and envelop them in ever denser darkness .... Yet forces of light are also active in the spiritual kingdom which help every soul if it only has the slightest will to come out of darkness into the light. Thus even these souls in darkness are not without protection, only the will has to awaken in themselves towards the light, towards ascent, towards freedom .... And this is the battle between light and darkness, that the beings of light constantly endeavour to push the bad forces out of the darkness and to influence the souls in such a way that they themselves want to escape the darkness .... This happens in every way, only the beings of light cannot approach the souls in radiant brightness but they have to appear in the same state as those, so that the souls gain confidence and express themselves .... And then intercession on the part of people is of immense help because the souls' will to resist is thereby weakened if it is not completely broken, which then considerably facilitates the light beings' work .... But the love of these beings does not abandon the souls which are handed over to their care .... They themselves stand in the light and are thereby also blissfully abundant .... and thus their love drives them again and again to release the unhappy souls from their state and to bring them the light. And they usually succeed, only in the case of completely hardened souls does the adversary have the upper hand, and then it can also lead to renewed banishment at the end of a redemption period when the soul, instead of ascending, sinks ever deeper and then a renewed dissolution of the spiritual substances is inevitable. The redeemer's work in the spiritual kingdom is carried out ever more intensively, for the beings of light are aware of the coming earth upheaval, they know about the danger of a new banishment of incorrigible souls, and they truly do everything to spare them this fate, because they know about the agonies and the infinitely long time until they can walk the earth again as I-conscious beings. And the activity which makes them happy consists of helping the souls to salvation, of bringing them the light, of leading them to Jesus Christ, Whom they must first have found in the kingdom of the beyond if the kingdom of light is to be opened to them. For this reason your work of redemption on earth is blessed, for every soul which has already found Him on earth need not fear the darkness even if it cannot yet demonstrate a high degree of light when entering the spiritual kingdom; but it need not fear a decline, it has escaped the adversary's power and will be granted help in every way so that it can ascend to the ascent. My adversary truly makes extensive use of the power he possesses in the end, and he oppresses everything spiritual which strives towards Me .... And he will try by all means to prevent that what still belongs to him also takes the path to Me .... But the beings of light let their love radiate and achieve much with it, even if they have to respect the souls' free will. Love fights against hatred, and love is truly a great strength .... And thus you humans on earth can also push everything unspiritual away from you through love, you can also successfully wage the battle against darkness if you let love break through, if you only ever oppose evil with love .... For the adversary succumbs to love, he flees it, and then he leaves you when love becomes overpowering in you, which is why you can also bring help to the beings in darkness by virtue of your love, because they surrender when such a ray of love touches them .... And then they are also saved, and My adversary has lost power over these souls, for anyone who has once felt the strength of love has his resistance broken, and now it is not difficult for the beings of light in the spiritual kingdom to help them upwards, and they are saved for all eternity ....

Amen

The father takes over all the worries ....

B.D. 7949 from July 25th 1961, taken from Book No. 83

Trust in My help in every earthly and spiritual adversity and only turn to Me, your father of eternity, with all your concerns, Who is always willing to help His children and Whom you will never call upon in vain .... if only you fully trust Me. All earthly events approach you in such a way as to be helpful for your ascent development .... And even if it seems to you as if you get into adversity and distress .... you yourselves can avert these from you if only you faithfully adhere to Me, if you ask Me to take all worries upon Myself .... and I will do so, for the father wants to win His child's love and will therefore only ever give it love .... Every spiritually-directed thought also guarantees you My help, for I have given you the promise: “Seek first the kingdom of God .... everything else will be added to you ...." And if you now give priority to the maturing of your soul, if you turn your thoughts towards Me and the spiritual kingdom, earthly hardship will not affect you so much because I Myself will take it away from you. My promise will come true, of that you can be certain .... I demand of you that you pay more attention to your soul than to your body .... I require you to seek contact with Me and My kingdom, and then I will take over the worries which burden you earthly, I will always regulate everything in such a way that it will benefit you. But you must trust Me, you must not allow yourselves to be depressed by earthly hardship, you must only surrender everything to Me, and truly, you will be able to praise yourselves happily, for no-one can take care of you better than I can, because I know everything you need and because I also want to bestow gifts upon you who serve Me, who are willing to be called My own .... you who think of Me and carry Me in your heart. To whom else should My promise apply if not to you who have the will to live for My pleasure? And so, if you have a concern, be it earthly or spiritual, trustingly come to Me and present it to Me .... And truly, I will consider you according to your requests, for nothing is impossible for Me and My love for you is exceedingly great .... Yet also reckon that great changes will soon take place which are indispensable for the sake of all humanity. Yet even then I will guide My own through it and you will experience My power as well as My love, which will be clearly recognizable in My own .... For they will have what they need and My strength will flow to them so that they will not feel anything too heavy, even if they are affected by strokes of fate .... They will always feel My nearness and in firm faith hand themselves over to Me, and they will always be guided out of every adversity. Just make sure that your faith strengthens, join Me ever more intimately and have a silent dialogue with Me, and you will draw much strength from it and then also do nothing without Me, you will always let Me be with you, you will secure My presence for yourselves through heartfelt prayer and activity of love. And in this heartfelt bond you will also trustingly present everything to Me which is troubling you and be certain that I will take all worries from you, that I will take care of you and can truly do this better than an earthly father takes care of his children. And in order to test you and your faith you will also be confronted by worries and hardship again and again; yet since you know the path you need only walk it .... you need only call upon Me in spirit and in truth .... and truly, I will answer your prayer ....

Amen

Redemption only through Jesus Christ .... Self-Redemption is not possible ....

B.D. 7950 from July 26th 1961, taken from Book No. 83

You were redeemed through the death of Jesus Christ, and not a single being in the entire universe was excluded from this redemption, for He accomplished His act for all once fallen spirits, He accomplished it for all people past, present and future .... But the being itself has to acknowledge it, it has to consciously lay claim on the blessings of the act of Salvation .... God's opponent is entitled to the spiritual being which had voluntarily followed him into the abyss .... It turned to him and away from God of its own free will .... of its own free will it has to turn away from him again and desire to return to God. However, it would never have found the strength to separate itself from him, because its will had been totally weakened by the adversary .... It would have stayed separated from God forever if the human being Jesus, in Whom God had manifested Himself, had not achieved the act of Salvation by means of his crucifixion, through which he acquired the blessings of a stronger will, which could then increase the fallen spirit's will and then also enable it to rise up against the adversary and strive towards God ....

The act of Salvation will not force any being to return, but its return is made possible by it, which otherwise could never have taken place. Yet it always requires free will, otherwise all fallen spirits would have been instantly redeemed and every work of creation would already be spiritualised .... But redemption depends on the human being's free will who, as a once fallen being, is travelling the path across earth for the purpose of becoming free, if he takes advantage of Jesus' act of Salvation and His acquired blessings .... Then his redemption will be certain, then he will return to his origin as a child of God .... then Jesus Christ will not have died for him in vain .... he can still perfect himself in earthly life or ascend to the spiritual kingdom and be active in light and strength and freedom for his own happiness. It only requires your will to be redeemed, for Jesus atoned the guilt on his behalf, Jesus cleared the way for him to the Father, Jesus opened the gate to the kingdom of light .... But the human being himself has to want the act of Salvation to have been achieved for him, he has to consciously place himself underneath the cross of Christ, he has to acknowledge Him as Son of God and Redeemer of the world, in Whom God had manifested Himself in order to be able to become a 'visible' God for all His living beings .... Yet in that case one cannot ever speak about 'Self-Redemption', even if one's own free will is the first condition to attain the blessing of the act of Salvation .... The human being can never free himself from his great guilt of sin without the help of Jesus Christ, in his weakness of will he will never be able to lift himself up and detach himself from God's adversary ....

The redemption of all souls is only possible through Jesus Christ, and this is why Jesus Christ the man suffered the crucifixion for all fallen spiritual beings and acquired the blessing of a strengthened will, which every being can lay claim to as soon as it has reached the stage of free will as a human being again. And this exceedingly joyful knowledge is conveyed to you humans. For now you are informed that you are not hopelessly lost, that there is a path of ascent for you, back to your Father's house .... the path to the cross of Christ, which has to be taken without fail but which also assures you complete deliverance. If, however, you don't take this path then you will not find redemption either, you will not be released from your adversary and that will mean that you will never be able to enter into the kingdom of light because your guilt of sin will prevent your entry. You yourselves will be unable to free yourselves from this sin, but you will be able to carry it under the cross, to Jesus Christ, Who shed His blood for your guilt and thereby also bought you back from God's adversary. Only your will has to make conscious use of this blessing, and then your guilt will also be redeemed .... you will be free beings again as you were in the beginning, and need only perfect yourselves in earthly life, that is, through loving activity, shape your nature into love again .... you need only seek closest unity with God, your Father of eternity, and your soul will mature and then, as His children, be able to enter the kingdom of light and bliss ....

Amen

Faith ....

B.D. 7951 from July 27th 1961, taken from Book No. 83

You all have to acquire a much firmer faith and that means that you have to love even more, because love brings forth a living faith .... Performing labours of love creates a direct bond with Me, Who is eternal love .... It should be self-evident that you can no longer doubt or have a weak faith when you are connected to Me because then I Am the guarantee Myself that your faith won't be destroyed .... And although your will to believe can be strong .... but you must have an equally strong will to do works of love .... Love has to be the inner driving force of all your intentions and actions, then your faith will be firm and steadfast .... you simply will not be able to doubt anymore but will be sure of what you should believe. And this convinced faith will fill you with joy and give you inner peace because then I Am with you Myself, because your deeds of love draw Me closer to you without fail, because 'those who love are in Me and I Am in them ....' Love unites us permanently and love gives birth to an unwavering, living faith. And when you pray for a firm faith then you have to pray for a strong will to love at the same time and you will achieve a firm faith indeed.

I repeatedly give you this information because you are approaching the time when you need a firm, unwavering faith to remain resolved until the end .... If you have this faith nothing can upset you, no matter what happens, because then you know that I will help you and thus you are giving yourselves into My hands with blind faith .... And then I Am indeed always willing to help, I will not leave you at times of physical or spiritual distress because your willingness to love, your way of life, has made you My Own already, you have joined Me again and I Am now able to work in and through you.

A firm faith is the best guarantee you can have because it gives you inner peace and calmness during all earthly events which I can avert from you or reduce their effects because you have faith .... And thus you should always pray: 'Father, help me to do works of love and let my will to love become ever stronger ....' And the will to love will grow at the same rate because love guarantees My presence and My presence guarantees help at all times of distress .... Love also guarantees the recognition of all correlations and hence the understanding for everything which, in turn, contributes to the strengthening of faith. Love is everything .... and if you have love you are also filled with strength from Me and this strength enables you to do unusual things when necessary, when love is the driving force that makes you want to help .... Then you have the faith that moves mountains .... and then you won't fear whatever happens to you. Because then you are connected to Him, Who is Lord above all, Who can command the elements to spare you and Who wants to prove Himself as your Father .... Who loves His children and will not leave them to become victims of destruction .... Ask Me every day for the strengthening of your faith and the will to love, as this is a spiritual request which I certainly will fulfil because love and faith are necessary for your perfection ....

Amen

Carrying the divine word into the world ....

B.D. 7952 from July 30th 1961, taken from Book No. 83

Whatever is offered to you earthly .... Nothing can replace My gifts of grace, and nothing can give your soul the riches it receives spiritually through My address. And therefore you must never forget this gift of grace above earthly pleasures, earthly joys or earthly riches .... you should take nothing so important as the daily intercourse with Me, which gives you My direct address .... I can give you everything, but I can also take everything away from you. But as long as you possess Me Myself, as long as you are able to hear Me Myself, you truly possess the best, the greatest wealth and the most desirable thing a human being can possess on earth .... I Myself am close to you and My presence is your greatest benefit. And you should not want to give this away for anything, you should rather do without everything if you thereby run the risk of forfeiting Me Myself and My presence for you .... You should be willing to give up everything just so as not to lose My gift of grace of being directly addressed by Me .... And if you prove this willingness to Me then you belong to Me completely, and then you are faithful servants to Me whom I can now also use for every work, for every task, and who will also serve Me with all devotion. And then I can also give you without having to fear losing you to the world again. You should gladly give up the world with its pleasures, then there is no danger that it will demand you back again, that you will become enslaved by the world again, for as soon as you were once allowed to receive spiritual possessions from My hand they are more important to you than what belongs to the world. Yet again and again My adversary will try to chain you to the world again, and he will use all arts in order to achieve his aim .... Yet you can also be certain of My protection, for inner strength will also flow to you to resist him because you don't want to give up the bond with Me and this will secures My protection and My strength for you. (7/29/1961) You should indeed always be mindful and know that the adversary will leave no stone unturned in order to push you onto another path again, but the strength of My word is stronger, and therefore you will always desire My word, because it will always make you more happy than all the goods of the world and because everything seems stale to you in view of these gifts of grace which you may accept as often as this is your will. And therefore you are also constantly under My guidance, you who serve Me as an instrument in the last time before the end. And I Myself always guide you on the right path .... And if this path leads through the midst of the world I will try to influence souls there as well and address them through you, for I truly still know how to gather My sheep and lure them away from the dangers which threaten them because they are still too exposed to My adversary's attacks .... and they shall also hear the shepherd's call .... The world offers great danger but I am also to be found in the midst of the world if only a silent call reaches My ear, if only questioning thoughts are sent into the spiritual kingdom, from where an answer will then certainly come. For this reason I require strong supports which do not fall themselves when they are placed in the world, when they are blown around by strong storms of all kinds .... when temptations assail them or attacks by hostile-minded people who will always be represented in the world, in the world's gears, and proceed against everything spiritual because they are much closer to the world and thus to My adversary's territory, to whom the earthly world belongs. But I can also be close to such strong supporters in the midst of the world, for they will always keep their ear open to the words which sound from above, they will always open their hearts for My flow of strength of grace, they will not take a step in the 'world' without Me. And thus they will also carry My word into this world where only one heart willingly opens and receives it. I know where a receptive heart can still be found, I know where My word is recognized and accepted, and I also want to guide My word there, I want to scatter the seed so that it will still sprout and bear good fruit. For there is not much time left until the end .... My ways are strange, yet you walk them under My guidance .... and if you now willingly let yourselves be guided without offering Me even the slightest resistance, you will only ever be amazed at how easily even difficult problems can be solved if I bring about this solution Myself. I still seek to create clarity everywhere where there is ambiguity .... I am still knocking on many doors in order to be able to enter Myself in order to offer spiritual gifts to human hearts .... I still know many souls who hunger and thirst and long for strong soul food .... I still know many sick people who need good, healing medicine .... And I want to draw their attention to the spring which I have opened up, from which truly springs the best water of life, which refreshingly touches people who bow down at it and expect healing and strengthening for their pilgrimage to the eternal home. And I send My messengers to invite all the weak and sick to My table so that I can give them food and drink and good medicine, which I keep ready for everyone because I know all people's suffering and weaknesses and want to help them. And thus My gospel shall also be carried into the 'world', because people can be found everywhere who are willing to accept it if only it is offered to them in the right form .... i.e. as pure truth ..... And I will accompany My messengers, I will guide them and protect them from all attacks by My adversary .... because My love is always with those who want to serve Me .... My wisdom recognizes their will and My might truly protects them in every adversity and danger ....

Amen

Only beings of light are permitted to teach ....

B.D. 7953 from July 31th 1961, taken from Book No. 83

The spiritual world constantly endeavours to bring help to those people who desire help from the beings of light .... For all beings of light act in accordance with My will, and if I want to help people then it will often take place through My angels, through all spirits of light, whose happiness consists of implementing My will. But all these beings do not act in opposition to My will, because due to their spiritual maturity they completely entered into My will already, because they want nothing other than to comply with My will, in other words: My will is their will too, since they possess an abundance of love and wisdom and recognise that My will only intends that which is right for My living creations and therefore they unconditionally submit themselves to My will. And thus it is understandable that they will indeed impart the full truth if they are permitted by Me to bring spiritual enlightenment to people .... if they have the task to instruct people mentally, to proclaim the Gospel to them in the form of My Word, which I also convey to you through these beings of light .... but the Word which originates from Me will always be the same, because they receive My illumination of love and then pass it on again. For their bliss consists of their uninterrupted connection with Me, of the flow of My Word which is heard by them directly and which they pass on again according to My will. Thus beings of light can never disseminate untrue spiritual knowledge, and only beings of light are permitted to teach you humans if you have asked Me Myself for the truth, if you demonstrate your desire for truth to Me through your appeal for it. In that case you can only be taught the truth, for I will protect you from the intrusion of immature spirits who want to impart wrong teachings to you because they act on behalf of My adversary .... but which will never gain entry to people who desire truth .... And therefore you can safely accept the Words offered to you by beings of light as My Word, for they are merely the mediators of the pure truth from Me, which they themselves receive in form of a direct address ....

For My Word sounds in the kingdom of the blessed spirits in order to make them incredibly happy .... But then they will also work with it because the love of these beings constantly endeavours to bring light into the darkness, and My Word is the light which penetrates the darkness .... And if you humans want to receive the pure truth from Me you need only make heartfelt contact with Me and appeal for it .... You can rest assured that I will grant this wish to you, and then you can also accept that everything given to you is given by Me Myself, even if it is conveyed to you through beings of light, for My strength of love, My Word, shines into them and through them down to you humans again, since these beings care for you with greater than great love and will also prevent misguided thinking from influencing your thoughts. They push all immature spirits away from you on My instructions, so that the pure ´Word of God´ is not distorted, so that you humans may receive it in all purity and as accurate as it originated from Me. Nevertheless, the fact that My adversary is also at work and makes an effort to sow evil seeds everywhere cannot by denied .... Yet this will always be determined by people themselves, i.e. by their will, who allow themselves to be accessed by these forces, who thus do not entirely hand themselves over to Me and only strive for the pure truth .... who use their own will and allow themselves to be taken possession of by still unenlightened beings .... This is why a person should practise rigorous self-criticism as to what extent he has entered into the right relationship with Me .... And he should only ever hand himself over to the good forces, to the beings of light and the implementers of My will, he should appeal to Me for protection from being besieged by everything unspiritual .... he should only ever want to be addressed by Me Myself, Who is the primary source of truth and Who therefore will only ever bestow truth upon those who desire it .... However, I know and see through his heart and all his thoughts .... And thus I also know the substance of his innermost nature .... and accordingly he will receive, accordingly he will be surrounded by forces of light or of darkness. Yet the eternal light of love will always shine into a receptive heart which utterly opens itself to Me so that I can fill it with light and strength ....

Amen

God's protection in the battle of faith ....

B.D. 7954 from August 1st 1961, taken from Book No. 83

Thus stand firm and don't let your faith waver, for I, your God and Father of eternity, Am and remain with you when the great battle of faith begins by which My adversary also wants to cause the downfall of you who are My Own. Everything undertaken against Me will always aim to render Jesus Christ and His act of Salvation implausible to you .... And the fact that Jesus Christ will be denied, that people shall be deprived of all faith in Him and that they therefore shall have no opportunity to depart from this earth in a redeemed state shall be taken by you as an obvious sign of the approaching end .... For My adversary will openly challenge Me by attacking Jesus Christ in Whom I became a visible God for humanity.

And the more intense this battle erupts the more you can be assured of My presence, for I will not abandon My Own, I will not let My adversary be victorious over those who want to be and remain My Own. And when you are thus cornered by the requirement to deny Me as the divine Redeemer Jesus Christ .... when you have to choose between Me and My adversary, then just put all your trust in Me as then I will be closer to you than ever; I Myself will fight with you and you need not fear My adversary, for My power is supreme and will protect you, no matter how threatening the undertakings against you may look. But then you can expect your deliverance within hours, you can count on My coming within hours and the end of the world, whence I will remove you at the height of affliction and danger ....

Do not become doubtful then, but remember that I have foretold you that you will still have to endure great tribulations for the sake of your faith ....Yet the stronger your faith and the more confidently you abide by Me, the easier will be the battle of faith for you, for I truly have the power at My disposal to avert even the worst from you, and My Own shall experience My love and power and therefore can confidently and fearlessly look ahead to this time. But it will come, for the believers will come under attack by earthly authorities and those who are enslaved by My adversary .... My Own will have to give public testimony and should not be frightened, for the God Whom they acknowledge will also reveal His power and help them in earthly adversity and distress ....

Just be prepared that brutal measures will be used against you, who want to remain loyal to Me .... But don't forget that I Am Lord over life and death, over heaven and earth .... and that I truly have means and ways to lead My Own out of earthly hardship, even if it seems as if there is no way out. And whatever earthly things will be denied to you .... I will miraculously feed you and quench your thirst, for that, too, is within My power, after all, I created heaven and earth, I made all laws according to My will .... and thus I can also abolish laws and nourish you supernaturally .... I can also surround you with a protective barrier, I can instruct My angels to form such a barrier around you ....

You only have to faithfully entrust yourselves to Me, your Father, Who will not leave His children in peril and Who will protect you from the enemy of your soul, from earthly and spiritual opponents .... For My might and My love is great .... And this will happen in the near future .... Yet prior to this you will still be subjected to tests of faith but these, too, will strengthen and enable you to stand firm in the last battle on this earth. And as soon as this conflict flares up you will also know that the end is not far away, for My adversary will only wage war for a short time, because for the sake of My chosen people I will shorten the time, I will bind him as well as his supporters. For the time he was granted for his activities on earth is fulfilled and the end of the earth is near, as it is proclaimed in Word and Scripture ....

Moon ....

B.D. 7955 from August 2nd 1961, taken from Book No. 83

Only I Myself can make truthful knowledge accessible to you, because only I know everything and all beings of light are also permeated by the knowledge which corresponds to the truth, because they receive this truth from Me .... since the illumination of My light of love into eternity imparts realisation upon all the beings I can address. This is why a being of light must have attained a specific degree of maturity, or it must accomplish a mission in order to reduce the spiritual adversity on earth .... But 'illumination of love' always signifies My transmission of truth, of knowledge relating to the spiritual sphere that cannot be gained by any other means than through direct illumination and that therefore requires receptive vessels to accept the eternal light of love. All perfect spirits are at all times ready and willing to be receptive and, as stations of strength and light, can therefore time and again serve to forward the light of love. People on earth, however, do not usually possess this degree of perfection. However, for the purpose of helping I can also choose a person as a receptacle for My love of light .... if certain preconditions exist which allow for it. I can also convey truthful knowledge to people on earth if My wisdom realises that it is necessary for people's salvation of soul to transmit light to them .... Then I will use a vessel which has prepared itself through love for the reception of My flow of love, this will guarantee the pure truth, because it is My will that people should gain possession of the truth. Then I will also instruct them in everything they need to know for the benefit of their soul. In that case the person would be able to ask any question, it will be truthfully answered for him. I always want to answer you if it benefits your soul. Consequently, you should ask Me spiritual questions, for knowledge about earthly things is worthless for the maturing of the soul. But I will also guide your thoughts correctly in every other aspect, because every error is detrimental for you, every error results in negative consequences, regardless of whether these consequences have a spiritual or earthly effect ....

The simplest answer to your previous debates about the Moon is this: .... The moon constantly accompanies the earth on its orbit, but it is not constantly within the range of the Sun's light because spiritually it is further away from the Sun than the Earth .... The Earth circles the Sun and, due to its own revolution, the rays of the Sun will always affect a different part of Earth, thus resulting in light and darkness. Although the moon's orbit is the same, it nevertheless takes longer to circle, with other words, it cannot be exposed to the Sun's rays at the same time, instead, they will only ever affect that part of the moon which, during its course as the Earth's satellite, can catch the Sun's light. This is because its distance from Earth results in the fact that it requires more time to complete its orbit and so it cannot be affected by the sun's rays at the same time but in intervals instead, depending on the Earth's position in relation to the Sun. Thus the Earth does not stand as a shadow between Sun and Moon, instead, the Earth reflects the light it receives from the Sun during its rotation and which can be received by the Moon depending on its position to the Earth, and this always changes because, although the Moon accompanies the Earth as a satellite, its velocity is not the same as the Earth revolves around itself .... It accompanies the Earth in the universe but it does not rotate at the same speed, therefore it cannot always be visible to the inhabitants on Earth either. However, it will always be able to receive the sun's rays of light, which cannot be restricted by any other planets. The Moon certainly always accompanies the Earth, but on account of Earth's constant rotation it is, from time to time, not visible to the inhabitants on earth .... it cannot be seen .... not because the Sun does not shine on it or because it happens to be within the shadow of Earth, but because the inhabitants on earth themselves happen to be on the other side of Earth in relation to the Moon due to the Earth's rotation and because, on the other hand, they can also see the Sun and the Moon at the same time if this side of the Earth faces the Moon, the latter of which is possible during the day as well as at the night .... but this does not depend on the Sun's illumination, instead, it depends on the position of the Moon in relation to the Earth.

Amen

Light beam of the sun ....

B.D. 7956 from August 3rd 1961, taken from Book No. 83

The grace of the word reception ensures you also My protection, and you don’t need to be afraid, to labour under a mistake, because I know your desire for truth and don’t give you wrong teachings, though you are surrounded constantly by forces of darkness, that would like to dim or extinguish the light from above .... But they are powerless against the light, that is beaming them and they flee, because they recognize its source. But again and again they will try to embarrass your thoughts, which I however straighten right again and again, because it is your task, to serve Me in My vineyard and thus to spread the truth, which I Myself transmit you from above, because you people need it to your maturing. I alone can only teach you right and likewise the beings of light too, through them flows the same light of love, that emanates from Me, and therefore they always can only emit the same light, that they take in reception by Myself, to let it radiate in the darkness. And so you are allowed indubitably to take on everything approaching you from above. You only have to know, that it is hard, to reveal secrets of creation to you, as long as you’re still quite ignorant in it .... For you don’t know the laws of nature, even to know their effects, and even you know less about the divine spiritual laws .... You don’t know about the sources of light in the universe, which have a purely spiritual origin and yet their effect can be seen by the earthly eye .... And therefore you can not be given a clear explanation, whether and when the rays of the sun experience a reduction in their radiation force, whether and when the radiation force is entirely abolished. Human calculations are not applicable, although alleged evidences believe to justify them ....The radiation area of the sun is also limited, because it is a spiritual light stream, that is interrupted, when the lawful order is not complied, where the fundamental principle of eternal order turns off an efficacy, what you people can not recognize and understand in your limited state. Spiritual processes in the cosmos will always correspond with earthly or apparent processes, because everything is in closest relationships with one another .... And so there would be no obstacles or limitations for the irradiation of sunlight, if not by a certain resistance of the still immature spiritual .... from that the world bodies exist in the universe more or less .... the light force or radiation force would be reduced or prevented .... But the nature of the world bodies is just caused in the composition of immature spiritual substances, and the degree of their completion determines also the degree of illumination .... and so even more perfect creations are self-radiant heavenly bodies, because they can get light from the original source, without finding resistance, and therefore also those light sources can emit light again .... So also any dark star can be illuminated, and it is also illuminated in the proportion, as “life“ must be ensured on those stars. But a permanent illumination would rather endanger “life“, therefore these floodlightings must also be kept within limits, which explains the alternation of day and night in the spiritual sense. However all processes in the universe can be explained earthly, but a certain requirement for understanding must be there .... People must know, that all the stars in the region of the sun also receive the light of this, but always in the explained manner before, that they only get light, that is necessary for “life“ and existance, according to the mental state of its inhabitants .... and that this illumination of light can be seen sometimes by inhabitants of other heavenly bodies .... But in no way a world body , a star, prevents or limits the illumination of one another, as you humans imagine, for every star is the sun accessible in the same proportion, but its illumination is determined by the star itself, which so characterizes the spiritual state of its substance .... Because the sunlight is spiritual radiation, the sun is a self-luminous heavenly body, that is constantly fed by the source of the original strength and the light and forwards the strength and lightning stream constantly .... It is well visible in the firmament, but already a creation of spiritual nature .... where perfect spiritual engages in the preservation of the works of creation, which are in the range of this sun .... Now spiritual radiation penetrates everything, also each matter, but it stops in its efficiency, where a resistance offers in form of unspiritual substance, as any matter is meant. But this substance would never hinder or stop floodlighting, to meet other stars again, that is a false idea, that a star could prove to be a shadow for another .... But laws exist according to divine order, and these laws will also endure eternally, as long as there a material creation exists .... And where it is only possible, I will inform you people also of that, when the maturity of your souls allows this and when I consider it salutary for you and your soul ....

Amen

Cosmos .... Moon ....

B.D. 7957 from August 4th 1961, taken from Book No. 83

Even the slightest lack of clarity has a negative effect, for it causes doubt in a person and darkens the light which should illuminate his heart. Nevertheless, an influx of light will always occur when the heart opens itself to accept its rays. Where lack of clarity exists, an explanation needs to be given, for I do not want a person who wants to think correctly to get confused. But neither do I want error to be spread where only serving the truth is wanted .... Yet need any of you worry about this when I instruct your Myself and you only pass on what I Myself Am telling you? .... The fact that you yourselves cannot intellectually grasp everything need not alarm you, for as long as you are not perfect as yet, your thinking will still be limited and unable to reconcile your previous convictions with the explanations I give to you, if they concern areas which science believes to have disclosed. However, even science cannot deny the fact that many still unexplored things exist in the cosmos .... And what it believes to have explored lacks proof, for the evidence it produced is wrong .... This also includes the calculations they made about the distance and the relationship of the Moon's position to Earth .... and it is difficult to give a right explanation to those of you humans who have acquired the knowledge you believe you can prove .... By merely considering the constant rotation of Earth around its own axis, you will have to realise that the Moon is indeed a satellite of Earth but nevertheless an entirely independent star from Earth, which circles within the region of the same Sun as the Earth, thus it also receives continually light from it .... The Earth is neither able to stop this flow of light nor to restrict it .... Yet the inhabitants of earth can more or less see the Moon, according to the position of Earth, which it occupies during its rotation around itself .... The illumination of light takes place in lawful order, and the stars also take their orbit in lawful order .... Therefore the same events occur in intervals, the same natural cycle of day and night .... But you humans should not forget that everything is in motion, that nothing stands still in the whole universe and that these movements also happen according to law and yet the stars which appear to be constant in the sky can be observed by you humans .... which might, purely physically, make a constant rotation of Earth debatable. And yet the Earth rotates around itself, but it will remain an eternal mystery which you human will never be able to solve .... You can certainly always assume and believe to produce proof, but this proof will never be right .... on account of which you will never succeed in taking possession of other stars whose laws are entirely different to those on Earth and which therefore also exclude the possibility that you humans can 'live' there, after all, the living conditions differ on each heavenly body and are only suitable for the beings living there and correspond to their spiritual state .... Every law is known to Me alone as well as to all spirits of light who receive this knowledge from Me .... But you humans will only know everything when you have entered the kingdom of light and your thinking is no longer limited ....

Amen

The grace of life on earth as a human being ....

B.D. 7958 from August 5th 1961, taken from Book No. 83

Every human soul is a fallen original spirit which is close to its perfection, i.e., whose path is only a short one left until unification with Me, provided that it is in the last stage of development .... as a human being .... turns his free will towards Me, that he thus professes Me again, Whom he once refused to acknowledge. And every human soul has an infinitely long path of development behind it, because this was necessary in order to emerge from the bottomless abyss, to ascend to the height where it originally dwelled .... In this stage as a human being the soul is also again receptive to a light, i.e., it can again gain a degree of knowledge which it had lost when it fell away from Me .... For the soul is self-aware, it can think and want again as in the beginning, only to a weak degree, but it can increase it during its earthly life .... The degree of realization is also decisive for the soul when it has left its existence as a human being and now enters the spiritual kingdom, for this degree of realization signifies light, without which the soul can never be blissfully happy. The human being himself can acquire a high degree of light during his earthly existence, he can be far advanced in realization if he uses his earthly existence to shape his nature into love, which was his original state and which absolutely has to be attained again in order to be able to dwell in the spiritual kingdom in blissful union with Me. This transformation into love is the work which the human being has to accomplish himself but which he can also do because he is granted help in every way. But at the beginning of his embodiment the human being's nature is still in perverse love as a result of his fall into sin in the spiritual kingdom and also of the renewed fall into sin of the first human beings .... Ego love dominates him, and this is to be changed into unselfish neighbourly love. For this purpose the human being is on earth, or also: The fallen original spirit must accomplish this transformation to love in free will itself, so that it achieves its divinisation and can now create and work in union with Me in freedom, light and strength .... And this transformation into love is the purpose of earthly life and no being can be spared, for it is at the same time the being's passed test of will .... It is the evidence of the being's divinity, which emerged from Me and was created perfect but now has to strive for this perfection in free will itself in order to be able to exist next to Me as a divine being, in order to be able to dwell with Me as 'My child', from Whom it once originated as a 'creature' .... The divinisation of the beings created by Me was and is My aim which I will certainly achieve but the duration of which is determined by the being itself. And once it has reached the stage as a human being it is close to its aim, and the human being should now make every effort to make good use of the last short period of time for its final perfection. He should acquire the knowledge of his purpose of earthly life, of all correlations and of My will, for the fulfilment of My will is working in love, and working in love also brings him light .... knowledge which corresponds to truth, knowledge which gives him full realization and which impels him to only pursue the aim of perfecting himself on earth, to shape his nature into love and thereby always establish the bond with Me, which is then indissoluble and the attainment of the aim is now also assured. The human being should also evaluate his self-awareness, i.e. think about himself, and then I will always be at his side, I will guide his thoughts correctly and I Myself will support him in every way so that he will reach his aim. Yet one day his remorse will be bitter if he lets the time on earth pass by unused and knows about the endless course of development before .... Yet as a human being he must not be given the recollection because then a life of free will would be impossible, because he would then live in fear and thus under a certain compulsion and his will and actions could not be judged as a free decision of will .... You should never forget that earthly life as a human being is a grace which you only need to use correctly in order to become blessed ....

Amen

Conclusion of earthly progress only with Jesus Christ ....

B.D. 7959 from August 6th 1961, taken from Book No. 83

You have come a long way already but the fact that you are still walking on earth is proof that you have not yet concluded your path of development .... with the exception of those who incarnated on earth for the purpose of a spiritual mission and whose souls had thus previously covered this progress of development and had found admission in the realm of light .... But I speak to you humans who are not yet perfect, who had once deserted Me and had to walk this long path of development so that you can now, at the human stage, voluntarily take the last test of will, the passing of which will ensure your entry into the realm of light. Hence you are not yet perfect but you have ascended from the deepest depths to the heights, if only by law of compulsion .... The depths had to release you because My will had intended this long path for you which pulled you away from My adversary's domination, or your ascent would have been impossible .... But now he has been given his right once again because you are still his property since you had previously followed him into the abyss voluntarily and this free will has not yet made the new decision: for him or for Me, Who longs for your return but will not force you if you willingly want to stay with him.

Thus, at the human stage, My adversary once again applies his power by influencing your will but he is unable to force it as you have to decide of your own accord which lord you will choose. However, I cannot stop him using all his persuasions to chain you to him .... I cannot stop him from using ploys to tempt you, only to keep your soul or to regain it if he has already lost it .... You now have to face him yourselves voluntarily and fight against him if you want to free yourselves from him. And you really need not fear his strength because you have a strong Helper by your side Whom you only need to ask to win the battle with Him: Jesus Christ, your Redeemer from sin and death .... Even though you, as a human being, have already overcome the deepest abyss, even though you, thanks to My help, have also come considerably closer to Me during the infinitely long period of development .... yet the burden of your original sin as a result of your desertion from Me, constantly pushes you down again and you would never be able to resist the will of My adversary if Jesus Christ would not help you, if He would not give you an intensified will which He Himself acquired for you by His death on the cross.

My adversary's power over you is too great that you could resist it with your own strength .... But you are guaranteed a supply of strength by just giving yourselves to Jesus Christ and requesting Him to take upon Himself the guilt of which you are not yet released and which therefore inescapably chains you to My adversary .... Jesus Christ, in Whom I manifested Myself, will now take on the guilt because, with His death on the cross, He paid the purchase price for all souls to the adversary who now has to release the souls, if they want it themselves .... And with His help you can conclude the path of your earthly life, with His help you can become free of all guilt and enter through the gate into the realm of light, which otherwise is closed to you, but which will be opened by Jesus Christ for all souls who have voluntarily decided to take the path to the cross to liberate themselves from the burden of sin. As a human being on earth you only have a short time at your disposal but it is sufficient to completely release yourselves from every form, however, this always depends on the human being's attitude towards the Divine Redeemer Jesus Christ .... because your former sin consisted of your rejection of Me and in the resistance of My strength of love .... In Jesus Christ, however, you shall know and acknowledge Me Myself, then you will also consciously accept My strength of love again and then nothing will stand in the way of your unity with Me .... Then the infinite long walk through the creations of earth and as earthly human being will have led to the right goal .... it will have resulted in your liberation and you will once again be candidates for My kingdom which will admit you and offer you blessings as it was in the beginning ....

Amen

Cosmos .... Illumination of stars ....

B.D. 7960 from August 7th 1961, taken from Book No. 83

Cast all your worries upon the Lord .... I Am truly your Father to Whom you should talk to as My children when you are downhearted, in a spiritual or earthly way. I said to you Myself 'Come unto Me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest ....' And I will truly take every worry from you because I love you .... My love for you wants to prove itself time and again, so that you will reciprocate it and thus return to Me. For once you rejected My love, and therefore I constantly pursue your love which will bring you back to Me. In order to gain your love I will also let you experience difficulties at times, which should make you call upon Me, then you will gratefully accept My help and recognise the all-merciful Father in Me, Who is manifestly present to you and your hearts will lovingly turn to Him .... And that is all I strive for .... Accept the spiritual proclamations as they are offered to you, for they come from the kingdom of light and will truly not cause darkness. However, that which does not enlighten you, which leaves you in the dark, need not come from the kingdom of darkness, because I repel these forces when they want to express themselves. Yet it will always be possible for Me to enlighten your spirit providing you unreservedly believe that only truth can come forth from Me and that you will therefore also write down everything that was conveyed to you .... (relates to proclamation 7955) .... The will for truth guarantees the same, and even if a person's maturity has not yet reached the highest degree, I will nevertheless be satisfied with his will for truth in order to protect him from error. And although you humans think that you can conduct scientific research .... the laws in the universe are not yet completely known to you, for this reason you will also have to accept something that appears to be absurd if it is explained to you by Me Myself, for your alleged 'facts' are only 'assumptions' which can be disputed. The Sun's range of illumination is limited by law, because the heavenly bodies are more or less hardened spiritual substance, that is, material creations. And the harder the spiritual substance is, the more immature the spirits these creations shelter are and the more they also prevent the illumination. Thus rays of light will not reach them, because it is the law of eternity that resistance reduces the radiance of My light of love or even neutralises it entirely .... The law is not known to you humans, yet it takes effect in the universe, with other words: Everything in the universe is subject to this law, therefore it determines the spiritual state of maturity of the various stars and, for their inhabitants, also the degree of illumination and the degree of resistance of light. Thus the Sun can shine with brightest intensity and yet stars can repel its radiance or reject it on account of the unspiritual state both the works of creation as well as their inhabitants find themselves in .... This is particularly the case with the Moon, which can be considered a star of lowest-developed spiritual beings even in its consistency .... It is not excluded from the illumination by the Sun, yet it does not always allow for its effect .... Yet even the beings inhabiting the Moon are capable of changing, on account of which their state is not always the same and thus the Sun's influence on the star also varies .... These are always ever spiritual explanations, but they can nevertheless also result in understanding earthly processes, but which the scientists on earth will not include in their investigations and therefore also look for earthly-understandable explanations which are, however, not entirely free from error. Yet you should grant credence to My Word that you humans will never get to the bottom of it, for the Earth is one of the tiniest creations in the universe, and its inhabitants still have far too little knowledge about the correlations as to be able to fathom the universe with all My works of creation which I control and direct in My love, wisdom and power and which I let arise as a means of returning the spirits to Me which, having once fallen away from Me, also lost all light, all knowledge, and will only regain these when they have concluded the process through Creation and then be brightly enlightened as well ....

Fight against ego love ....

B.D. 7961 from August 8th 1961, taken from Book No. 83

Anyone who has overcome himself to such an extent that he is willing to make sacrifices for the sake of his neighbour has victoriously passed the battle against selfish love, and the neighbourly love strengthened in him will certainly lead him to perfection. Yet the battle against selfish love is difficult, it requires a strong will to overcome oneself if the human being is not driven to love from within by the dormant spiritual spark within him, which is part of divine love which is always willing to give. Then it will also be easy for the human being to carry out works of love, for then his being is already filled with love .... he follows the urging of the spirit within him, his being itself will become love, and he will also fulfil his purpose of earthly life .... Ego love will become ever smaller and the giving, gratifying love will fill him more and more; he will enter his earthly life (his original state) again, which was pure love. But where self-love is still strong and the human being is made aware of the divine commandments of love, the human being's will can strive to do what is right before God in His eyes .... He can therefore consciously fight against self-love, he can carry out planned works of love .... less driven from within than in the will to fulfil God's commandments .... Then it will certainly be a struggle at first, but that good will will let him emerge victorious from this struggle, for he will receive much support from God .... he will experience strengthening of his will, and again and again he will be offered opportunities to be lovingly active .... And he will acquire reciprocal love, and this will touch him inwardly and strengthen his will to love. And now the urge to be lovingly active will also become noticeable in him, he will not resist, and he will have passed the battle and his soul will mature. And thus the will's turning towards God is decisive .... This will will always express itself or prove itself through the fulfilment of His will .... Where the spirit in the human being can express itself early on, the human being will also be recognizable through loving activity, through a helpful, friendly nature which is always willing to serve. Then the divine little spark of love in the human being's heart can develop into a bright-igniting flame, and that means increased helpfulness and joyful service in love .... But the human being can also feel addressed by the word of God which is conveyed to him and which contains the divine commandments of love. He can believe that God requires love for Him and his neighbour, and then he can intellectually agree and make an effort to live as prescribed by God's commandments .... Yet his will must always already be turned towards God, otherwise even those teachings will not touch him and he will not feel addressed in any way when love for God and his neighbour is preached. It is certainly possible that he changes his mind through great need of his fellow human being and is ready to help. And then the fight against self-love begins, which costs a lot of effort and does not always end in victory. Yet such people with hardened hearts can be greatly helped if they themselves are shown much unselfish love which is capable of awakening love in return .... if they are helped out of hardship in a selfless way, if they are repeatedly offered love which they will feel charitably and which can also change their nature .... For the divine spark glows in every human heart, and as soon as it succeeds in appealing to it, it works itself from within with great strength .... Yet again and again the divine teaching of love should be proclaimed to people, they should know about God's will, and they should also experience the effect of a life of love as well as know about the failure of earthly life, that they can only become blissfully happy through love and that they therefore have to fight against self-love, because this is a wrongly directed love which hinders the human being's perfection, because it is the inheritance of the one who is devoid of all love and who is therefore also wretched until he, too, will change, until his nature has become love again, as it was in the beginning ....

The immeasurable love of Jesus ....

B.D. 7962 from August 9th 1961, taken from Book No. 83

When I walked across the earth I, as a human being, recognized humanity's great adversity because love was powerful in Me and thereby there was also brightest light in Me about the cause of the adversity, about the state people were in and also that they were bound by a power which was evil and wanted to plunge people into ruin .... The love within Me gave Me this realization, and the love within Me decided to make a sacrifice for humanity which was languishing in deepest adversity .... By virtue of My love I decided to engage in an open battle with the adversary, as a human being I wanted to prove to him that My love was a strength by means of which I could defeat him. I wanted to use My love against his hatred .... And this greater than great love of Mine was to redeem people from his power .... I knew about the cause of human existence, about the beings' past apostasy from God, because the love within Me gave Me this realization. And thus I also knew that only 'love' could bring them salvation from their state of adversity .... And thus My efforts as the 'human being Jesus' were first of all to present the divine teaching of love to My fellow human beings and to encourage them to live a life of love so that they could acquire strength to resist My adversary .... And I exemplified a life of love to them and then crowned this life of love with My death on the cross .... I offered a sacrifice of love to the father for My fellow human beings and through this sacrifice bought people's souls free from their dungeon master .... I paid the debt with My life .... Only love was able to make such a sacrifice, and love was in Me .... The father Himself, the eternal love, filled Me, the eternal love Himself thus redeemed the guilt which the spiritual had loaded upon itself when it fell, when it followed the adversary into the depth .... The former fall into the abyss, the separation from God, had only been possible because the beings had renounced love, because they did not accept the father's illumination of love .... People had to become love again, and because they no longer had the strength to do so I acquired this willpower for them through My death on the cross and redeemed them from their weakened state .... And now they were able to free themselves from the adversary's power, for they now received strength from Me as the divine redeemer, because they were now also able to live a life of love, because after My act of salvation they were now able to receive the illumination of love again, which constantly flows from Me as the eternal love to all beings which open themselves to receive it .... As a human being I recognized the great need of My fellow human beings .... I also knew this as an angelic spirit emanating from the father and offered Myself to descend to earth and bring the children back to the father again .... I offered Myself to serve eternal love as a human shell so that "love" could accomplish the work of redemption .... But I first also took the path as a human being across this earth, for a human being's free will should declare itself ready for this work of mercy, because a human being had to take unspeakable suffering upon Himself as atonement, since 'God' cannot suffer but a great sacrifice of atonement was necessary for the sake of justice in order to redeem the great original sin. But I came to earth with a heart full of love, and My life on earth was an unceasing activity of love, for love was the strength which people, however, lacked, which is why I preached the divine teaching of love and repeatedly admonished people to follow Me .... Yet until I had accomplished the act of salvation the adversary's power was still too great and the human being was weakened to the utmost .... For this reason a saviour had to come Who liberated them from his power, for this reason 'love' had to accomplish a work through which the adversary was defeated .... A person's love had to resist him and thus win the battle against him, for the adversary was no match for love, and thus he had to let go of the souls which gave themselves to divine love, which acknowledged Me and My act of salvation, which thus voluntarily wanted to return to Me and entered My flow of love again .... And this work of salvation has been accomplished, and thus every person can free himself from the adversary's power who claims the blessings of the act of salvation, who acknowledges Me and My act of salvation, who asks Me for forgiveness of guilt and for strengthening of his will of love .... For he will be able to follow Me, he will be able to lead a way of life like Mine, and the love he now practices will impart strength to him so that he successfully covers his earthly path .... that he only strives towards Me Myself as the eternal love and that he finds unity with Me and returns to his father's house, from which he once distanced himself of his own free will and therefore also has to accomplish the return of his own free will. Yet this return can only take place through love, and therefore I also preached love when I lived on earth and sent My disciples out to proclaim the divine teaching of love to all peoples of the earth .... For only love sets you free from the power of the one who is devoid of all love and therefore My adversary, which he will also remain until My act of salvation is finally completed .... until all spiritual beings have returned to Me and there can then eternally be no more death ....

Amen

‘Eye has not seen .... ’

B.D. 7963 from August 10th 1961, taken from Book No. 83

I have no other goal but to make you happy, to bestow the glories of My kingdom upon you, to let you see what no eye has ever seen, to give you infinite pleasure .... and to draw you to My heart as My children, because My love for you is beyond measure .... And one day I will certainly achieve this goal. Nevertheless, infinitely long periods of time can still pass by, because it is necessary .... that you, too, grant Me your love, that you voluntarily desire to return to Me from Whom you once originated .... And therefore I constantly seek to attract your love as well, I try to inform you of My nature, which is profoundly perfect, so that I will also gain your love when you recognise My nature correctly .... This is why I reveal Myself to you .... I provide you with the evidence that I exist, and I give you an explanation about My nature, My reign and activity, My eternal plan of Salvation .... I unveil a picture before your eyes which you can, and indeed will, love if only you open your eyes and accept this image in your heart .... And so that you can recognise Me correctly, I speak to you .... You humans are still spiritually blind and therefore unable to form an accurate concept of Me, your God and Creator, Who wants to be your Father .... As a result of your past fall from Me into the abyss you lost all realisation and at the start of your human existence you are still in this dark spiritual state .... So if I want to gain your love I must enlighten your spirit, I must grant you a small light which illuminates the image of your God and Creator for you, so that you will learn to recognise Me .... I must give you an explanation about your creation, your origin from a supremely perfect Being Which, although you were unable to behold It, nevertheless made you immensely happy .... I must inform you of what you had been, what you are and what you shall become again .... This knowledge shall therefore contribute that you will learn to recognise and love Me, that you will strive towards Me and would like to be united with Me again .... The goal during your life on earth is to exchange your state of darkness with a state of brightest light, in which the spirit in you, being a part of Me, can speak to you and enlighten you ever more brightly .... Then you will come ever closer to your God and Creator and will be able to attain the goal during your lifetime on earth: total unification with Me and thus also the bliss, which I want to bestow upon you in the abundance of My love .... In that case your final return has taken place; My courtship for your love was successful and My love can now make you happy, and you will be able to behold Me face to face .... For now I have become a visible God in Jesus Christ for you and your desire, which once persuaded you to turn away from Me to the one whom you acknowledged as a visible God but who became My adversary because he revolted against Me, has been granted. Due to your apostasy from Me you were separated from Me for an infinitely long time in a state of wretchedness .... But now you can behold Me Myself in all power and glory, for in Jesus Christ I became a visible God for you .... And your bliss will be without end, you will constantly yearn for Me and My presence and your desire will always be granted .... And what no eye has seen and no ear has heard, that is what I have prepared for those who love Me .... because My infinite love is for you, My children, for all eternity.

Amen

Bond with God guarantees ascent ....

B.D. 7964 from August 11th 1961, taken from Book No. 83

The human being on earth who walks his earthly path in constant contact with Me and whom I can therefore guide Myself, as it serves his soul best, will be able to record a tremendous ascent. It cannot be soon enough to establish the bond with Me, for his will will then have turned to Me of its own accord and given Me the right to look after him as My share, to send him strength and grace without My adversary being able to prevent this, who has now lost his right to this soul. Nevertheless, he does not cease again and again to influence the human being's will in order to win him back. But every thought which now applies to Me gives Me the right to push it away from the human being. Once a being has freely decided in favour of Me I will no longer let it fall into My adversary's hands, it just cannot be spared battles since these contribute towards the soul's maturing and constantly push it towards Me anew so that My strength can take effect in it, for every bond with Me also signifies an overflow of My strength of love, it signifies constant ascent upwards. However, establishing the right bond with Me will always be a matter of the heart; this bond is not established by acknowledging and affirming with the mouth, which is easily possible if people are certainly taught about a God and creator in their earliest youth and they only accept these teachings intellectually, they don't contradict them and thus believe in Him. Then the heart has not yet spoken, and only the heart's speech is valid before Me. Then the prayers will only be spoken with the lips but they will not be prayers in spirit and in truth, they will not be addressed to Me from within and therefore I will not hear them either .... The right bond only takes place when the heart speaks, when the human being's thoughts seek Me and want to communicate with Me, when the human being speaks to Me like a child to its father, when it knows no inhibitions yet surrenders to Me in profound humility that I may look after and guide it, that I may take care of it forever and ever .... The right bond with Me is truly already an entry into the spiritual kingdom, for the human being's thoughts wander into a completely different realm than the one where he physically lives .... And he acknowledges Me or he would not unite with Me in thought or prayer. And thus he has also passed the test of will, for once the being fell away from Me because it did not want to acknowledge Me as its God and creator .... The only thing that matters in earthly life is that the being returns to Me again of its own free will .... And the sooner it acknowledges Me the sooner I can also have a direct effect on the human being, give him strength of resistance against My adversary and support him in every way so that he covers the path of ascent .... that the soul works on itself with success, that it spiritualizes all immature substances still clinging to it so that it departs from earth clear and loud and can then be permeated by light and strength in the kingdom of the beyond. It needs strength for this purification process, for My adversary will constantly try to prevent it from living in My will, but this strength also constantly flows to it, or it can flow to it, because it repeatedly unites with Me and thereby can receive strength .... because this strength is divine strength of love which will also stimulate it into constant activity of love, and because then its transformation into love will also take place, which signifies spiritual perfection, spiritual progress, for the purpose of which the human being lives on earth. However, this spiritual progress is impossible without the influx of strength from Me, and the influx of strength necessitates a close bond with Me .... therefore you can consider yourselves blessed if you acknowledge Me in your heart and send your thoughts to Me .... For I seize you and then will never let you fall again, for then your return to Me is guaranteed, your free will has decided in favour of Me and you will never leave Me again, you are Mine and will remain so forever ....

Amen

About the "working of the spirit" ....

B.D. 7965 from August 12th 1961, taken from Book No. 83

I want to be recognized as the origin of the word which comes to you from above through the working of My spirit .... And therefore you should mention the unusual process through which you came into possession of extensive spiritual knowledge without external earthly aids .... I want you humans to know that I speak to you directly in intimate contact if certain prerequisites are present: a living faith in Me, which was gained through a life of love, and a conscious inward listening, that you open your spiritual ear to the address which now happens through My spirit, through My share, which expresses itself in you, which instructs you and initiates you into the deepest secrets .... that My word thus resounds in you, that you hear Me Myself in you .... This process is only believable to a few people, otherwise all would accept My word .... And thus "My spirit works", i.e., it expresses itself to you .... he "introduces you to the truth ...." You who now hear My word, who receive it directly from Me, you can now pass it on again, and anyone who listens to it or reads it in intimate union with Me will also feel the strength of My word, he will be able to register increasing maturity of soul as an 'effect of My word', for I was also able to address him, albeit indirectly through My messengers. But anyone who pays no attention to this word, who denies Me Myself as its origin, does not recognize the 'working of the spirit', he knows nothing of the fact that “I Myself work in him who believes ...." I have "promised" you humans My spirit, I have told you that I will remain with you until the end of the world .... For I Myself am the word, and thus I am always with those in the word who want to hear Me and believe. The belief that I express Myself, that I speak to you directly, is what I require in order to be able to speak to you .... And I ask you: Where is this faith still to be found? Are not the doubts far greater that you have about 'My word'? .... and yet I have told you: "out of your body will flow rivers of living water ...." My word will resound in you yourselves, the influx of My divine light of love will fill your heart when you yourselves prepare it to be the receptacle of the divine spirit .... For the spiritual spark in you is My share, and thus it also knows everything and can therefore also instruct you from within .... And this influx of the divine spirit into an open vessel, into a person's heart, is the 'working of God in the human being', Who can then divest Himself of that which serves you for perfection, and thus you cannot go astray either if you have entered into this intimate bond with Me, so that I can address you as evidence of My presence. Then you will not hear human words but God's word .... Who works in you who believe .... And then you must also stand in truth, because only pure truth can come forth from Me .... And if I then give you the task to spread My word because people need the pure truth, then I therefore want fellow human beings to also experience the effect of My word on their souls, because My word is blessed with My strength and because all of you humans receive something delicious which cannot be replaced by anything, for it is a direct gift of My love, I Myself lean down to you and address you, directly or indirectly .... but it is always My word, My address, which you hear when you accept the gift of grace offered to you .... And truly, your soul will experience great blessings, it will mature, for the strength of My word will make the ascent to the height easy for it and it will reach its aim .... it will unite with Me still on earth and be able to enter the kingdom of light and bliss ....

Paradise state on new earth ....

B.D. 7966 from August 13th 1961, taken from Book No. 83

I want to establish a new kingdom, a kingdom where I alone rule, where My adversary is eliminated for a long time, where there is peace and order again, where only love rules and thus I Myself can be with people because their state of love allows it and because they have passed their test of faith and will and now belong to Me for time and eternity. And in this kingdom there will be order again for a long time, for love is the fundamental principle of divine order, and where love reigns everything will also take place in accordance with My will .... And thus the spiritual substances, which are still bound in form, will also develop more quickly, because they feel love around them and therefore also give up their resistance more quickly in order to reach the final transformation as a human being. And this kingdom will therefore be on the new earth when My work of transformation has taken place, when all creations of the old earth have been dissolved and changed into new creations through My will, when the paradise of the new earth has been created and will receive My own who have endured until the end. The process of the destruction of the old earth will still be apparent to them because I want them to proclaim My might and glory to their descendants, and because they themselves shall then be blessed by being transferred to the new earth as the reward for all suffering they previously had to endure for the sake of their faith. And they will forget all suffering and hardship in view of the splendour and glory which will shine towards them on the new earth in all works of creation .... And I Myself will be in the midst of My own because their great love allows this .... A new period of redemption begins, for much of the spiritual is still unredeemed and still bound in those creations .... And even if people are no longer under the spell of evil, the following human generations will nevertheless also have to pass their test of will on earth, only My adversary cannot have an effect on them as long as love is highly developed in people, thus as long as their hearts beat towards Me in the divine redeemer Jesus Christ and therefore they do not sin either but are redeemed from their original sin through Jesus Christ .... And love is exceedingly strong in people who will animate the new earth in the beginning, and it will burn ever more fiercely towards Me because I Myself can delight them with My presence and will instruct them at all times through My messengers of light with whom people will have direct contact and therefore also be exceedingly blissful. Earth's paradise is ushering in a new time, for the spiritual and earthly turning point has been accomplished .... And it will be a time of peace where there will be no enmity, neither with human beings nor with the animal world. Everything will live in harmony with each other and hardship and misery will be eliminated, there will be no illness, and even death will only be a painless transition into the spiritual kingdom; the soul will only change its abode, yet without suffering and fear, for it has lived a life in and with God and will now enter My kingdom, it will discard its earthly body in order to be able to dwell freely and exhilarated wherever it wants .... But always in the kingdom of light and bliss .... And this blissful time lies ahead of you, and all of you can be candidates and belong to My own who are allowed to inhabit paradise on earth, only you have to stand firm in the last battle of faith, you have to persevere until the end .... And truly, your lot in the paradise of the new earth will be a glorious one, for I Myself am with those who remain faithful to Me, and My nearness is your bliss ....

Amen

Radiance of the divine light of love into mature vessels ....

B.D. 7967 from August 14th 1961, taken from Book No. 83

My flow of love-light flows to all beings which open themselves and have also attained the maturity that they can accept the flow of light and strength within themselves without being consumed by it. Hence it is always beings of light which accept light and strength from Me in order to pass on light and strength, for immature spiritual beings deny access to the light and strength from Me. But every being can spiritualize itself and make itself capable of being permeated by My flow of love, and this is the task of people on earth who, at the beginning of their embodiment, do not yet possess the degree of maturity to be able to receive My light and My strength in abundance. However, to receive light and strength from Me means bliss, and I want to prepare this bliss for all people who walk the earth .... I want to constantly feed them with My flow of love light, just as all spiritual beings full of light are constantly flooded and are therefore blissfully happy .... Yet I usually encounter resistance .... the being which walks across the earth embodied as a human being still defends itself against Me, and forcibly it cannot be flooded by My light of love .... Yet rays are sent to it which sometimes also have the strength to touch the human being's heart, and then the resistance diminishes .... Receivers of light and strength are sent to him .... that is, beings of light from the spiritual kingdom or also on earth .... will send them these rays in the form of My word, which will be brought close to people in some way and can also have an effect on them if the resistance is not too great. And these rays can cause the human being to open himself voluntarily .... that he desires to enter My flow of love, that he feels My word as light and strength and desires to be addressed by Me more often .... And then My flow of love light can flow through him, then he opens himself and works on himself and also makes himself receptive .... it accepts light and strength from Me directly, and it has now become, as it were, a reservoir of light and strength which can let its contents flow out again. And every human heart can receive light and strength from Me which merely desires it and gives up its previous defensive position .... which therefore now voluntarily enters My flow of love and opens its heart to receive Me .... And this is your earthly life task, for you are weak, lightless beings when you enter the earth as a human being, but the light and strength is at your unlimited disposal .... Therefore you will be instructed again and again by the will of the one Who called you into life .... You are inspired to believe in a supremely perfect being to Whom you owe your existence, and you are requested to establish contact with this being so that It can make you happy, because you emerged from the love of that perfect being .... And once this has been presented to you it is up to you, up to your will, whether you want to let yourselves be bestowed by Me, whether you want to accept light and strength from Me, for you must now voluntarily open your heart and let yourselves be illuminated; you must accept the love which wants to flow through you again, as it was in the beginning. My flow of love constantly seeks vessels into which it can flow, but these vessels must also be so prepared, i.e., the human being himself must have ignited the love within himself which displaces everything impure and which allows the human being to mature so that he can now receive My illumination of love and his soul will now spiritualize itself .... that I can now fill it with light and strength and that it now serves Me again as a station of strength and light which receives and sends out as it is My will, so that everything is flooded with light which is still in the dark area but gives up its inner defence as soon as the rays of light beneficially touch it. Light and strength is bliss, which you once forfeited and which you must voluntarily accept again in order to attain bliss .... And you will always be allowed to receive the light and strength you desire .... For My flow of love-light will constantly flow out into infinity, and all beingness can shape itself as a receiving vessel if it spiritualizes itself, if it offers no resistance as soon as it is touched by rays of love .... And My infinite love radiates everything because it wants to win you back and this is only possible if you also accept My love, if you open yourselves in free will and My love can then become effective on you ....

Amen

Purpose of need: Bonding with God ....

B.D. 7968 from August 15th 1961, taken from Book No. 83

You will be guided through all hardship and visibly experience My love and care. Yet hardship is indispensable and you are approaching a time which will be difficult for everyone who does not devote himself to Me with complete faith, who does not entrust himself to Me and appeal for My help. Yet My own will not feel this time of adversity so much because I take care of them .... And again and again I announce the adversity to you, for it is therefore inevitable because I want to offer you another opportunity where you can turn to Me and call upon Me, for this bond with Me is your salvation; both earthly as well as spiritually it will only be a blessing for you if you remember your God and creator and try to approach Him. As long as you walk alone, without Me, on this earth, every day is useless for your salvation of soul, for your spiritual development .... You will not take a single step forward, and your earthly life may have been an idle run for you if you don't enter into a bond with Me before your death and then your soul will be saved from darkness when you lose your physical life and enter the kingdom of the beyond. And there are only a few who find their way to Me even in a time of good living conditions .... Only a great adversity can bring it about that people remember Me and call to Me .... And this adversity comes for the sake of it, after all, it is far more bearable than the great spiritual adversity which awaits those who do not find their way to Me. But My own can confidently look forward to the coming time, for the bond with Me will lift them above all difficulties, and every thought they turn to Me will give them strength, and they will also work for Me by trying to point their fellow human beings to the saviour and helper from every adversity .... Who lets suffering come upon you humans, Who can truly also turn it away from you .... But you must confess Him .... you must always know that every turn towards Me is a turning away from My adversary .... And this is the only thing I want to achieve, and thus if adversity drives you towards Me then it was truly a blessing for you, for then you will also be released from the enemy of your souls who will bring far greater adversity upon you if you don't detach yourselves from him. And detachment from him can only be possible by turning to Me, because your will alone is decisive as to who may now take possession of you. But I can help you out of every adversity and visibly grant you My help .... Therefore nevertheless believe in a God of love, even if this God allows suffering and adversity .... For I am only ever concerned about your salvation, about the life of the soul which lasts forever and does not end with the death of the body. And so that the soul does not need to suffer in eternity it must sometimes bear increased suffering on earth but it will always be a blessing for it if it contributes towards entering into a bond with Me, its God and creator of eternity. I want to win you as long as you still live on earth, and I also have to use means which seem cruel and unkind to you but which only ever aim for your salvation, your bliss in the spiritual kingdom .... Just always trustingly pray to Me and truly, you will be guided through all adversities of body and soul, you will feel that your father cares for you, that He will give you what you need earthly and spiritually and that you will also recognize His presence in every event .... For I will always be with My own, with those who turn their thoughts towards Me, who remain united with Me in love and prayer ....

Every human being contributes to the redemption of the spiritual who lives in love, for he will also constantly radiate love to his surroundings, be it fellow human beings or also the spiritual which is still bound in form, which feels every irradiation of love beneficially and also matures because it gives up resistance, which love always achieves. For love is a power that does not remain without effect. Love awakens reciprocal love, and people and animals will gladly join those who radiate love ..... It can therefore also be deliberate missionary work .... that is, conscious vineyard work .... can only be carried out successfully if love is the impetus for it, otherwise the 'redeeming' of souls is called into question, because love alone has redeeming strength. People must recognize the spiritual hardship and want to remedy it; they must know that help must be brought to the souls which are still unredeemed, be it on earth or in the beyond, and love must impel them to carry out conscious redemptive work .... Then their work in the vineyard of the lord will also be blessed. But if a person lives in love, if his way of life is a continuous activity of love, then he unconsciously does redeeming work; he spiritualizes himself, thus all his spiritual substances, and places his soul into the state of maturity which is the purpose and aim of his earthly life .... But he also contributes towards the spiritual maturing of those who dwell in his surroundings, for they, too, cannot resist the irradiation of love in the long run if an open counteraction is not recognizable through people who are in bondage to God's adversary. But even these will withdraw because they are no match for the weapon of love .... Yet where love determines a person's way of life there can never be a relapse into the abyss, for love urges towards eternal love, love is the divine in the human being which can never remain without effect and this effect always signifies redemption of the immature spiritual, irrespective of whether it is on and in the human being himself or also in his surroundings, which also includes souls in the beyond which, attracted by the strength of love, stay close to him and likewise feel the flow of love as strength. A person who lives in love is recognizable to those souls through his light radiation, and he is therefore constantly surrounded by such souls who want to escape from darkness .... This will also makes the light of love effective, they receive strength which again helps them to also be active on other souls by also seeking to snatch them from darkness .... What they feel charitably they also want to impart to other souls who are in the same need .... And thus a redeemer's work is unconsciously done only through a life of love .... However, it is good if people know about this and also consciously want to participate in this redeemer's work by giving themselves to their God and father and appeal to Him for His blessing .... that they also offer themselves to Him to be active in His vineyard according to His will. And a life of love will also result in increased spiritual knowledge for the human being, his thinking will be guided correctly, the human being will take care of those who are still in the bonds of sin, who have little or no faith and whose hardship he can recognize. If he now consciously places himself at God's service that he is active as a proclaimer of the gospel, of the divine teaching of love, then God's blessing will also be assured to him, he will fulfil his earthly task, he will do successful work as a labourer in God's vineyard, and this success will always be in accordance with the degree of love which fills him, because love is the redeeming strength, because love also banishes the adversary who flees it, because it is divine emanation ....

Catastrophe .... Antichrist .... Battle of faith .... End ....

B.D. 7970 from August 18th 1961, taken from Book No. 83

What will still take place before the end of the earth can only ever be announced as something extremely difficult and sorrowful for humanity, for God's voice will sound everywhere, albeit in entirely different ways .... For where His Words of love are ignored He will manifest Himself more clearly; there will be suffering and adversity in all places, accidents and catastrophes will alternate with natural occurrences, where the elements threaten and destroy life .... And all this is God's working or His permission to disturb people and make them aware of the real purpose of their earthly lives. And where people are united with Him the hardship will be easier to bear, since He will not abandon His Own even though they are in the midst of these happenings and unable to avoid the immense adversity during the last days before the end.

And you all only need to take notice of what happens around you and in the world, for they are visible warning signs and always recognisable to the believer as God's intervention or permission, because you were foretold that you will have to endure severe hardship and affliction before the end. All the signs which were predicted for the end are recognisable; yet you humans always want to see it in the distant future, you don't want to believe that the time of the end has come. But you have also been told that the time will be shortened for the sake of those who want to believe and stand firm. And thus everything will happen in very quick succession .... The affliction and hardship, the battle of faith and the Antichrist's fury .... which will emerge only too clearly, and this alone should make the end time credible to you. For the people who are enslaved by him will surpass each other in evilness, hatred, lies and vindictiveness, craving for power and tyrannies will clearly identify his actions, and people will support him because they agree with his will and ruthlessly proceed against their fellow human beings who still believe and want to remain faithful to God.

And these will receive exceptional protection and strength, for God will stay with His Own and lead them through all adversity and difficulties. And blessed is he who recognises the time and entrusts himself to the only One, Who can protect him in every hardship .... blessed is he who believes .... blessed is he who lets Him speak to him and constantly receives strength from Him .... For even this difficult time will come to an end and the fate of those who endure to the end will be a blissful one. Sooner or later the power of God's adversary will be defeated, then he and his followers will be bound and there will be peace again on earth .... But not on this earth anymore because its end has come according to the law of eternity .... But it will emerge anew through God's might, and people who endure to the end will be relocated to the paradise of the new earth, because they believe in their God and Father Who will save them from utmost hardship and affliction .... For the time is fulfilled and the end comes as it is announced in Word and Scripture ....

The opponent seeks to extinguish the light ....

B.D. 7971 from August 19th 1961, taken from Book No. 83

No matter what My adversary may devise against you, as long as you are active on My behalf neither cunning nor trickery on his part will have any effect, for My strength is at your disposal, My love is with you and helps you in every affliction of body and soul. And this is your weapon, that your will is meant for Me, that you want to serve Me and that you take refuge in Me in prayer, that you maintain the bond with Me which ensures the constant influx of My strength and which gives Me the right to push My adversary away from you .... For he flees the light which shines from Me. Therefore he seeks to extinguish it, he seeks to hinder My bearers of light in their mission, he seeks to take action against the light and to dim it wherever he can. Yet the light itself reveals his nature, and therefore he is also always to be recognized .... even though he appears under a mask, even though he tries to cloak himself in the garment of an angel of light. But the light itself will strip him of his mask and he will have to flee, because the light from Me has great strength .... I look for vessels for Myself into which I can pour Myself out, into which I can pour My spirit for the salvation of humanity. And I protect these vessels from being used by My adversary, so that he too can empty himself and thus, as it were, the spiritual knowledge which emanates from Me is mixed with an adversary's influx .... I protect My spiritual knowledge and keep it pure and unadulterated as long as a human being serves Me as an instrument and thus as a receptacle for My flow of spirit .... And I know that humanity is in great spiritual distress because the pure truth is withheld from it, because My adversary is at work everywhere where people do not seriously strive towards Me, and because people therefore no longer take the right path which is shown to them by the truth .... My adversary prevents the knowledge of Jesus Christ and His act of salvation .... He prevents the knowledge of Him Who said: "I am the way, the truth and the life ...." And I want to bring this truth back to people, I want to show them the way so that they may attain life.... And thus I must also first give them the knowledge of Jesus Christ, in Whom I Myself accomplished the act of Salvation .... And this knowledge comes to you from above, I Myself convey it to earth, I speak to you always out of My love which wants to lead you to eternal life. My adversary, however, will lose you if I have won you for Me .... thus he will strive to keep you away from the divine redeemer Jesus Christ, he will try to undermine the truth, he will try to extinguish all light, because the light emanates from Me and leads to Me again. But My adversary is the prince of darkness, and he will always spread darkness wherever it is only possible due to the will of such people who themselves are indifferent towards the truth. Insofar as they desire the truth he cannot penetrate, for the light will shine brightly and chase him away. But if people themselves are lukewarm in their striving for the truth, then he has an easy game and will plunge them into ever greater darkness .... And therefore you should be vigilant and know that you will constantly be harassed by My adversary; but you should also know that you will be protected from all error if only you accept Me Myself .... as the eternal truth .... and if you want to serve Me as bearers of light, which I need on earth in order to be able to break through the darkness which the adversary has spread across the earth .... For those who serve Me are also cared for and protected by their father of the house .... And truly, My power is greater than the power of him who also once came forth from Me but gave up the light himself and sought darkness .... He may well tempt you humans, but he cannot force you .... He can go against the light but he cannot extinguish it because it emanates from Me and because he himself flees the light .... And the servants who want to serve Me recognize him and his activity, and they will deny him access because they themselves stand in the light and have bond with Me, as the eternal light. And he cannot break through this because he will be recognized before he can seriously work ....

Amen

Decision by predestined guidance or experience ....

B.D. 7972 from August 20th 1961, taken from Book No. 83

Know that every earthly or spiritual experience affecting your life is intended or permitted by Me. For every person's course of life is always determined by Me in accordance with his spiritual development. And thus everything can be in your best interest, you don't have to suffer if you accept everything from My hand and even humbly accept your burdens, for your correct attitude towards Me will also allow you to assess every event correctly and your soul will mature. The only purpose of earthly life is for your soul to mature .... And all earthly events, be they suffering or joy, will approach you in line with this purpose .... Any event is able to lead you closer to Me if it is your free will to find union with Me.

But My adversary also tries to win you for himself, and thus you will be faced by temptations on his part which I allow because he still has a claim on you, and he will equally influence you but never be able to force you, instead it remains up to your free will to what extent you allow yourselves to be influenced by him. Hence you make your own decision by consciously turning either to Me or to him. And you can make this decision in every situation; every experience, every stroke of fate, every pleasure and every affliction can impel you to make this decision. And if you know that nothing happens without My will or permission, then soon nothing will be able to worry you either .... for as soon as you turn your sights and thoughts towards Me, call Me to your side or commend yourselves to Me in prayer, you will mature spiritually and have achieved an advantage for your soul again.

All these are also tests of faith which you have to pass .... for My adversary will do anything to separate you from Me, to lessen or destroy your faith in a God and Father Who is always willing to lovingly help His children. He will always want to darken your spirit, he will try to spread darkness across you so that you no longer recognise Me as your loving Father of eternity .... And this is why he particularly tries to take precedence during misfortunes with the intention of causing reluctance and ill feeling in you .... And then you have to adamantly resist and know that everything I allow to come over you is beneficial for you, and that you only have to turn to Me in firm faith in order to banish even the most arduous adversity by handing everything over to Me, Who will truly help you to get out of every adversity. For My constant concern is only ever your return to Me ....

I want to tie you to Myself and not lose you, and therefore I will also always prove My love, and this love shall never be doubted by you. You have already travelled a long path which brought you ever closer to Me .... The last short stretch of the way requires great willpower by you, because you consciously have to turn to Me, to the pinnacle, whereas before you were drawn by My love .... But this love gives you even more, it does everything in order to guarantee your return to Me ....

Just grant Me your free will, strive towards Me in free will, don't let yourselves be enticed by the world which is My adversary's tool to win you over .... Believe in Me and My love, and in your heart long for the Father, and call upon Me in every adversity of body and soul .... And truly, every experience will only ever serve your ascent, for everything is based on My love and wisdom whatever you might encounter .... And rely on My love and My might, for I Am always willing to help if only you would call upon Me in your heart ....

Amen

Address to doubting "servants of God" ....

B.D. 7973 from August 21st 1961, taken from Book No. 83

"Out of your body will flow rivers of living water ...." This promise of Mine will be fulfilled when you receive My word, when the water of life flows to you from above, when I can speak to you directly and My spirit can pour into you .... For then you will truly become a source of life from which your fellow human beings can draw in order to refresh and strengthen their souls for their pilgrimage on earth. You humans usually have no understanding for this purely spiritual process which, however, is earthly-provable through the spiritual knowledge I was able to convey to earth through a suitable instrument .... For it was gained without external aids, it is the result of inner instruction through the spirit .... It is the evidence of the bond of the spiritual spark resting in the human being as My share with the father-spirit from eternity .... It is My word which sounds out in direct address to you humans who open your hearts and desire to be addressed by Me .... Yet how little do you humans know about this outpouring of the spirit; how little do you believe that 'My word' is conveyed to you when My messengers bring it to you, when they ask you to listen to a delicious spiritual gift which can only come forth from Me Myself and be offered to you .... How little do you yourselves do to let the flow of grace of My love flow into you, for you don't believe in such a visible expression on My part, and you don't understand the words of scripture either, otherwise it should be easy for you to believe .... But you entrench yourselves behind the words of scripture and deny that I express Myself again and again, you believe that My activity is concluded with the words of scripture .... you believe that you do not need any further word from Me .... yes, you presume to dictate to Me whether I may express Myself to people on earth .... you deny any revelations, although I Myself have said: "He who loves Me and keeps My commandments is the one I love .... to him I will reveal Myself ...." How do you read the scriptures which testify of Me? You certainly read the letter but you lack the spirit which introduces you to the truth .... and yet you feel called to instruct your fellow human beings. You also feel called to warn your fellow human beings to listen to Me Myself and My word when they are commanded to do so .... And you call yourselves 'servants of God' .... For these I address who want to portray My working as the working of My adversary and are themselves strongly under his influence .... For he who does not recognize Me is not Mine .... For My sheep recognize My voice and they follow it .... But again and again I will speak to people, again and again I will reveal Myself to people who believe in Me and desire to hear Me .... For it is the end time and My adversary works with cunning and force, and thus I will also work unusually for the blessing of humanity and alleviate or also remedy the great spiritual adversity where only the will is good, where only a heart opens and receives My gift of grace, and it will truly not be lost when the end has come ....

Amen

You will live forever ....

B.D. 7974 from August 24th 1961, taken from Book No. 83

You will live forever .... you will not lose this life anymore .... Is there a more enjoyable promise than that I want to give you eternal life and that you will thus be eternally happy? For life is blissfulness, because life is a state in freedom, light and strength, because 'life' is the state for which I have created you, which guarantees your perfection .... And this perfection will have been endeavoured towards by your own free will, otherwise no life would be possible, for prior to that you were in a state of death and only your free will was able to and can change this state of death into 'life' .... Furthermore, life means permanent union with Me, Who nourishes you with the necessary strength to live, which flows to you without restriction and will never again be limited .... Life is working and creating with Me and in My will .... and yet also in keeping with your will, for you have completely entered into My will because you are perfect, because you have become My images and will no longer think and want anything other than Myself and therefore you will also be incomparably happy.

And that is the final goal of the beings which once emerged from Me and My strength as living creations, which were indeed supremely perfect, since nothing imperfect can come forth from Me, but which voluntarily relinquished their perfection, fell away from Me and then had to travel an infinitely long path of development in order to achieve the highest level of perfection again, in order to thus return to Me, yet no longer as a 'living creation' but as 'My child', into which it will have voluntarily shaped itself through love .... which is indeed its fundamental substance because it came forth from My love, but which its free will had to arouse into the brightest of blazes .... but then eternal life in supreme happiness will also be guaranteed .... And this is the life I have promised you .... I Myself want to grant you this blissful life, and thus I will never cease in supporting you to achieve this said high degree of love, whenever it may be .... One day you will attain life and then never lose this life again .... This is truly the most glorious promise, for you can hope. You need not fear to be lost; you need not remain in the state of death forever, for I have told you 'You will live forever ....'And My Word is truth .... only you yourselves determine the time when you will enter into life; you determine the time when you escape death, when you return to Me, unite with Me again and then also arrive at the life which lasts forever ....

And thus you can also endlessly prolong the state of death if you misuse your free will again, if you oppose My loving support which stimulates your love. And then you will prolong your state of misery too, for only life is happiness. Yet you have free will, and this prevents Me from giving you life against your will. For you have to attain perfection yourselves, which guarantees you life in eternity, otherwise you would eternally just remain My 'living creations', but the goal of becoming My 'children' requires striving for perfection in free will. As long as you humans are still in the state of death, as long as you lack light and strength because you lack realisation and the influx of My strength of love, you are also in a state of unkindness, for voluntarily practised love would also result in light and strength, and that also means an 'awakening to life'. And then you will no longer be able to fall back into the state of death, because you will be enlightened and also recognise the purpose of your earthly life and consciously strive for it. And this is why love has to flare up in you if you want to attain the life which lasts forever. And I, the Eternal Love, will leave no stone unturned in order to lead you to this life, for I can only unite Myself with life but never with death .... and therefore I will first awaken the dead to life, which My infinite love will indeed achieve sooner or later ....

Amen

Desire of truth .... Light is knowledge ....

B.D. 7975 from August 25th 1961, taken from Book No. 83

The will for truth must be present in you and then you will also recognize truth as such, you will also be able to distinguish error from truth and you will not run the risk of moving into erroneous thinking. Yet you humans are indifferent to the truth, you thoughtlessly accept everything that is offered to you and you don't check whether spiritual knowledge has been brought to you which deviates from the truth .... because you are simply indifferent to it and because you don't believe yourselves capable of checking it either. But you will have this ability when you desire the truth, for then I Myself will protect you .... as the eternal truth .... truly protect you from wrong thinking and I guide your thoughts correctly. Hence My adversary has a great advantage because you indifferently allow him to work and he will assert his error, he will confuse people's thinking and thus spread ever greater darkness over them because they don't defend themselves against it. And almost every person values his own intellect too highly, he believes that he can judge spiritual knowledge intellectually and thus determine its value. And the intellect is dominated by My adversary if the person does not consciously hand himself over to Me and My support, if he does not request My assistance in the examination of spiritual possessions. And only rarely does a person take the path to Me in order to attain the truth, and therefore only pure truth is rarely to be found or it is not recognized as such .... Again and again I give you the reason, again and again I say that it is up to you alone whether you think correctly, and again and again I show you the path to truth .... the path to Me, Who is the eternal truth Myself .... You all have free will, and you all have the opportunity to receive the most diverse spiritual knowledge. But you must tell yourselves that there can only be one truth, and you must strive to attain this truth. And truly, you will be allowed to take possession of it if you approach Me Myself for it. If you desire to penetrate knowledge which you cannot gain intellectually .... if you desire clarification about your relationship with Me, your God and creator, about your purpose of earthly existence .... if you desire the right knowledge, then it will also come to you. A bright light will shine for you and chase away the darkness in which you have walked until now .... Yet you must desire it, otherwise I will withhold Myself, since I will not force your free will to strive towards Me through light .... But if you push yourselves inwardly towards Me I will give you the light because I don't want you to live in darkness, because I want to radiate My light into your hearts which, however, you must open yourselves in order to become enlightened. Yet only truth is light, only truth can reveal to you everything that is still hidden from you, because you once gave the light to Me yourselves .... And only truth is the path that leads back to Me, to the light of eternity .... To desire truth therefore means to open oneself in free will so that the light can shine into the heart and now the human being will be enlightened from within .... And then he will no longer be able to think wrongly, he will recognize all error as originating from the adversary, he will now also know about everything, about all correlations, about Me Myself as the most perfect being .... he will attain the realization which the being once voluntarily relinquished when it rejected My radiation of light .... It only has to desire light again of its own free will, i.e. the truth from Me, and I Myself will convey it to it, it will emerge from the darkness of night, for the light will shine for it and it will be blissfully happy again, as it was in the beginning ....

Light beings create forms for the spiritual ....

B.D. 7976 from August 26th 1961, taken from Book No. 83

You, too, will be granted the bliss of creation when you use the strength and light .... the power and wisdom .... in My will again, when you will be perfect and able to work like Me in free will, which is always also Mine .... Then love will drive you to creations of all kinds, for then you will also create forms in your love for the still immature spiritual in which it can mature, and you will find your beatitude in it yourselves .... For you yourselves emerged from My creative power as My images .... Your nature corresponded to My fundamental nature, all divine characteristics and abilities were within you and you were also able to use them in the same way as Me; you were able to create and shape yourselves until you fell away from Me, until the moment when you freely rejected My strength of love and thereby deprived yourselves of all abilities and were therefore no longer able to create because My strength of love no longer shone through you or because you yourselves no longer wanted to accept it and thus became powerless. But this state of imperfection will not last forever, for My aim is and remains to restore you to your original state, which, however, has to be achieved by your free will alone. My overwhelming love for you, which only ever wants your bliss, guarantees that you will receive My support in every way. And as soon as you have entered the original state again My strength of love will flow through you as in the beginning, and you will use it again in wisdom, because you have now become love again and therefore also want to help the still unredeemed to attain the same beatitude which will now be granted to you .... And you will constantly be creatively active .... Whatever you set your mind to you will also be able to accomplish, and creating and shaping will make you immeasurably happy. For as a human being you don't know what abilities are within you which only lie idle because you lack the love which gives you strength and wisdom .... But one day you will know everything, and you will create the suitable cover for every particle of soul, you will lovingly accept everything that still has to travel the path through the creations of earth .... You will also recognize its degree of maturity and your creations will correspond to it, which will therefore also make you immeasurably happy because you recognize their purpose and support the spiritual in its upward development through your will of love, which is active in creating and shaping. As long as you live on earth as a human being you lack this degree of maturity, that you recognize everything, that you know about every work of creation, about its nature, composition and purposefulness .... Yet once you have this realization you will already have reached a high degree of maturity yourselves, where you may behold miracles upon miracles and even move in the midst of these miracles .... And all these miraculous works are My thoughts and ideas which I let become form .... always for the happiness of the spiritual in every degree of maturity .... only that once these forms envelop the spiritual, which is to mature in them, and that then the spiritual itself can create such forms and its strength and wisdom can now express itself in creations of the most versatile kind. And only then will you pay far more attention to all creations, only then will you recognize My great love and wisdom, and your love for Me will become ever more powerful, which means a constant increase in your strength and therefore also an increase in your bliss. And you will behold things which you would never dream of, for My glories will have no end, which are intended for all those who love Me .... and I will make My creatures eternally happy .... they shall create and shape with Me in My kingdom, they shall enter the father's inheritance as My children .... they shall be immeasurably happy in and with Me ....

Serious warning against psychic receptions ....

B.D. 7977 from August 27th 1961, taken from Book No. 83

You should not trouble yourselves with doubts, but you should also know that you only receive pure truth from Me by merely wanting your thoughts to be correct and true. And you will always receive assurance that I do not contradict Myself, that therefore the spiritual information which originates from Me, which was conveyed to those of you through the 'working of My spirit' who allow My activity in you, must always tally. However, since My adversary's influence confused people's thinking, since falsehood and error are far more likely to be accepted by people, it has also become necessary to convey the pure truth from above time and again, for truth does not remain pure for long among people, for unkindness reigns and this darkens the spirit, so that it is easy for My adversary to proceed against the truth and to intersperse it with error, without this being recognised by people. Light is all you humans need in order to find and travel the path to Me and to ascend .... In the darkness you take wrong paths which lead off course, and since it is My adversary's goal and intention to alienate you from Me and to gain you for himself, he will eagerly strive to confuse your thinking, and he will do so under the mask of an angel of light. And the danger that he will be heeded is particularly great during the time of the end, because people are lacking love and therefore possess no power of judgment either .... They fall prey to error and then he will have won them over. For this reason I keep making you aware of the cover under which he appears. For he is full of cunning and trickery, he tries to slip in where he can show himself as an angel of light, where people look for contact with the spiritual kingdom .... but where the preconditions are missing which guarantee a genuinely pure spiritual bond with the world of light .... However, wherever the preconditions exist he is unable to intervene, and only then will the truth be guaranteed, because all beings of light work on My instructions and can only distribute pure truth which they receive from Me .... Yet can you humans know with absolute certainty that you demonstrate the preconditions which guarantee you this bond with the world of light? And can you therefore be certain that the spiritual realm conveys the full truth to you? Can you do this where it concerns psychic transmissions from the spiritual kingdom? Do you know whether it is impossible for the adversary to intervene if a person as a 'shell' forfeits his own will? Only a high degree of maturity will result in your protection by the world of light .... but in view of the great risk the beings of light will always try to influence people such that they allow the 'working of the spirit' in them in a conscious state, that they shape themselves into a receiving vessel for the divine spirit .... that they improve themselves in order to grant the beings of light the undisputable right to repel everything unspiritual from them and to only let the pure truth flow to them, which they receive from Me, so that they can instruct you humans if it is your will and you fulfil all preconditions ....

You humans must remember that the time of the end has come, that you don't have much time left, and that you should therefore accomplish the work of improving your soul with increased vigour .... And you must know that My adversary will use all his power to try to prevent this endeavour .... Thus he will try this where he is not recognised, where a human being's conscious will does not offer him opposition .... He has great power and makes use of it when psychic receptions are desired whose truthfulness cannot be verified by you humans .... Be warned, for the point is not that it would be impossible for a being of light to express itself through a medium, but the point is that you humans are incapable of judging whether a being of light expresses itself or whether the adversary's clever disguise enables him to spread darkness .... And this darkness can have a disastrous effect on you; misguided teachings can be conveyed to you from which you can only detach yourselves with difficulty .... But a misguided teaching will always obstruct the path to Me, it will obscure the light in you or extinguish it entirely, and the path to Me will be prolonged by you .... I want to caution you of this, for there is not much time left, you are near the end, and once a misguided teaching has taken hold in you it will take quite a while before you recognise it as such, and this time might no longer be at your disposal .... The possibility that you are offered truth certainly exists, but you are unable to judge whether it is offered to you and consequently there is always the risk that your spirit will become darkened if I don't seriously warn and admonish you only to believe those Words which are conveyed to you through My spirit .... for it will guide you into all truth, as I have promised you ....

Amen

Urgency of spreading the divine word ....

B.D. 7978 from August 28th 1961, taken from Book No. 83

And this is the lord's will that His word be spread .... for just as He once sent His disciples out into the world, so shall you .... His last disciples in the last days .... shall see to it that His word is spread throughout the world, that it also resounds to human hearts which hunger and thirst for it, which have a desire to be addressed by God Himself. And even if people who are not able to hear His voice directly host you .... whether they doubt the word or deny its divine origin .... for they do not know about the spiritual hardship .... about the dense darkness which lies spread over the earth and which can only be chased away by a ray of light from above if only this light is not resisted. World events alone should make humanity pay attention, and they should seriously strive for another aim than just worldly power, earthly goods, honour and fame. They should realize that everything is transient, that no-one can secure earthly goods for himself if it is in God's will to take them away from him. The human being is powerless in the face of God's will or permission, and this should make him think, he should incline towards God as the creator of heaven and earth, from Whom he himself also originated, and appeal to Him for His guidance that he may reach his aim on earth. For every thinking human being would have to regard his existence on earth as purposeful and seek clarification about this purpose .... And since only partial knowledge can ever be offered to him on his part, he should turn to God Himself in thought, to the creator Who gave him life .... And he should ask Him for right thinking and realization, for right guidance on all his paths through life .... always with the will to reach his aim for the purpose of which he dwells on earth. And so that people's thoughts will be guided to turn to God Himself, God addresses people Himself .... And you, who receive His word directly, who receive it again indirectly through His messengers, you should pass this word on to your fellow human beings, for the word which comes to you directly from above is well-suited to stimulate people's thinking who are only of good will .... For there are many people who are not satisfied with the spiritual knowledge they have been offered up to now, of whose truth they are not fully convinced and cannot be either, because the adversary's influence from God has caused many lies and errors to obscure the pure truth and a willing soul therefore rejects it because it cannot inwardly acknowledge this spiritual knowledge. But these people should also be addressed and spiritual knowledge should be offered to them in an unadulterated form ..... And how would this be possible other than that the truth is directly conveyed to earth by God and spread by those who want to serve God? And to this work He calls the disciples in the last days, for there is not much time left .... Everything shall still be done that is within the power of those who have voluntarily offered themselves to Him for service .... Only His word should ever be mentioned, which provides information about all questions that move a thinking person of good will .... And they will truly experience much blessing, a light will be brought into the darkness .... People will be able to believe who want to believe. And the pure gospel, which will reach them through God's greater than great love and grace, will become a lifeline for them when the great tribulation comes upon the earth, which precedes the last end. Then people shall take the path to the one Who alone can save them from all adversity .... And then they will also pray to Him in spirit and in truth because they will have recognized Him in His word ....

Amen

Notice of the time of tribulation .... Power of the word ....

B.D. 7979 from August 30th 1961, taken from Book No. 83

A time will come when you will understand why I take such unusual care of you that I speak to you directly, even though your spiritual state has not yet reached the maturity which could justify a direct address. You will experience unusual adversity, My adversary will press you unusually and you will have to accept unusual strength in order to be able to withstand .... And you will be able to draw this strength from My word .... And then the visible influx of My strength will be a strengthening for you, because your faith will also become ever more alive when you experience the evidence of My presence through My word. Time is pressing, and therefore you will also be able to notice an increasing adversity caused by strokes of fate and disasters of all kinds, and people will desperately ask themselves where all this is supposed to lead .... And then you, who hear Me Myself, will be able to convey My word to them, and it will also be accepted by those who have not yet completely fallen prey to My adversary .... And then you will know why I address you in such an unusual way, for then you will recognize the truth of all this, and you will also recognize My love for you humans who will only stay on earth for a short time and shall pass their test .... The world still stands between you and Me, your eyes are still turned towards the world and it is difficult for you to change and turn towards Me .... But you will very soon be able to recognize the worthlessness and impermanence of this world, you will very soon be startled out of your rest and suddenly stand before an approaching disaster .... And you will look for a way out, and blessed is he who finds the way out in Me Myself, blessed is he who turns to Me, entrusts himself to Me and now no longer walks alone .... For he will be guided through, often in the most wonderful way, because there is only one Who can help in every situation in life, and because this one only needs to be called upon in order to also be able to prove Himself in a helping way. And this will be his greatest gain, that he has found Me Myself, for then nothing will need to frighten him anymore, he will know that he is safe in My fatherly arms, and these will also spread to all who turn their thoughts to Me in every adversity. Once you have recognized that a father addresses you, you will also press towards the father, and only My word can grant you this realization. My word alone will strengthen your faith in a God and creator Who wants to be your father and to Whom you only need to give your love in order to be eternally saved .... For your earthly life will pass, but for the sake of earthly existence alone you did not enter embodiment as a human being .... Your soul shall only pass through and prove itself before it enters the kingdom which is its true home .... And if you know this, you will also strive to enter this home in the highest degree of maturity .... And therefore I address you again and again because the time is coming to an end which is set for the earth and all its creations .... Time is hastening and you must make increased efforts in order to still complete yourselves; but you can also do this, for My gift of grace .... My word from above .... is such an unusual aid, it has such an unusual effect of strength, that you can perfect yourselves in a short time if only you let its strength flow into your heart .... if you read My word attentively and now also live accordingly .... if only you make an effort to fulfil My will, if you believe in Me and give Me your love .... Then you truly need not fear an end, no matter when it may come .... For then you will give yourselves to Me, and truly, My love and might will protect you, and you need not fear death, for you will live forever, as I have promised you ....

Amen

God's strength can also grant physical recovery ....

B.D. 7980 from August 31th 1961, taken from Book No. 83

You are truly offered something precious when I talk to you directly, and you will always be able to draw strength by just consciously opening yourselves to My emanation of love if you want to receive the ray of strength from Me, if you desire to be filled with strength from Me .... if you want your hunger and thirst to be stilled by the nourishment you receive from Me Myself. However, you are as yet unable to recognise the real value of My gifts of grace .... even though you willingly listen to Me, even though you belong to those who want to be nourished and have their thirst quenched by Me. Were you able to assess My greater than great love for you which constantly wants to make you happy and grant you gifts, you would also know that I only offer you gifts which have an extremely helpful effect on you .... you would know that I only offer you what will help you to attain perfection, to fully mature your souls, and you would only ever want that My gifts of love for you will not be limited. You would consciously open yourselves at any time in order to receive My gifts of grace, and you would become aware of an abundance of strength constantly flowing to you if only you have the will to receive it. You merely require profound faith in order to also become physically healthy through the strength of My Word ....

But you do not possess this strong faith as yet and thus you must only ever strive to raise your degree of love .... When you are entirely permeated by love then you will only have space in your heart for My strength of love, then everything else will be pushed away and you will be so close to Me that you will feel My presence which will also let you become aware of the flow of strength .... And then your body and soul will recover .... Open yourselves again and again to the strength of love from Me .... keep turning your thoughts to Me and establish the connection with Me which facilitates an influx of My strength of love in you .... and know that you receive the evidence of My presence when I can speak to you. And don't undo this bond again but let it become increasingly more tender and, truly, you will feel it yourselves and no longer need to fear that you will lack strength .... Just believe, and I will not let your faith be destroyed .... open your heart and accept Me in it, and My presence will make you aware of the strength that pours into you, you will hear My Word and recognise it as an incredible gift of grace .... You will distinctly feel the strength of My Word, you will psychologically mature, and this raised state of maturity will also express itself in an increasingly stronger faith, and a strong faith can achieve anything, it can also help the body to get healthy because nothing is impossible for someone who believes in Me, in My love and in My might ....

Amen

Mentally directing the will towards God ....

B.D. 7981 from September 1st 1961, taken from Book No. 83

Every thought which turns to Me is an acknowledgment that you belong to Me, a flickering spark of love striving towards the fiery ocean of Eternal Love. It demonstrates that the test of will of acknowledging Me again as God and Creator, as it was in the beginning, has been passed .... I will not leave you in eternity, even if you yourselves voluntarily keep away from Me .... For you belong to Me, you are a tiny spark of My strength of love which I emanated when I gave you life. And one day this strength of love will flow back to its original source again, because this is the law of eternity .... But I care that your free will .... the mark of divinity .... is your reason for returning to Me. And it makes Me indescribably happy when this change of will, after your past apostasy from Me, has been accomplished, when you as a human being .... during the stage of free will .... turn your thoughts to Me .... Then I will take hold of you and draw you continuously closer to Me, and I have the right to do so because you will be trying to unite with Me again of your own free will ....

You don't realise how much strength flows to you when your thoughts apply to Me, for every thought is a bond with Me which enables the influx of strength; a contact which enables Me to permeate you with My strength of love, which spiritualises you and makes you the blissful beings again that you once had been. You have the option to receive My guaranteed influx of strength at any time .... you have a very reliable way to receive My strength by merely directing your thoughts to Me .... For you only turn to a Being Which you acknowledge, and I only want this acknowledgment from you in order to provide for you again as before, in order to permeate you again with My strength of love. When you think of Me you consciously open your heart .... you surrender every resistance that had kept you apart from Me, and then My love can take effect on you again, which ignites in you like a spark of fire and also lets your love flare up for Me. Hence it incorporates an immense blessing if you lift your thoughts up to Me time and again ....

Admittedly, the world will often prevent you from doing so, and anyone who is subject to the world will only rarely and with difficulty turn to Me, if at all .... But once you have voluntarily granted Me the right to take possession of you again because you have voluntarily accomplished to break away from My adversary then you can also be sure that I will enter your thoughts time and again, and it will be increasingly possible for you to mentally stay in contact with Me .... until you can always sense My presence close to you, until you no longer start anything without Me. And then you will consciously fulfil the purpose of your earthly existence, then you will already be in close contact with Me even though you still live on earth, and I will not leave you again, I will always walk by your side, I will take abode in your heart and you will feel My presence and be very happy ....

Therefore, always stay in contact with Me even if the world will not yet release you completely .... As long as you still have to live in the material world you will also have to fight against its temptations and attractions; but once you have established the connection from you to Me, the material world can no longer harm you, then you will look for Me even more, because you will not be able to find true happiness in the material world after all but only ever in your heartfelt contact with Me .... And then My love will draw you to Me, then I will gladden you with My presence .... For then your will belongs to Me, as it has turned to Me entirely willingly, and you will have become and will stay My Own for all eternity ....

Amen

Thoughts of an end are beneficial ....

B.D. 7982 from September 2nd 1961, taken from Book No. 83

Every thought of an imminent end can only be beneficial for your soul if you believe in its survival after death. For then you will live consciously after all, you will also think about many things and no longer take earthly plans and interests seriously, even if you are not yet fully convinced that an end will come. But the thought of it will be encouraged in you on the part of the world of light, for the mental influence emanates from their side, because you are entrusted to them for protection and they constantly strive for you and your soul's salvation. Hence the thought current emanates from them and again and again it will be conveyed to you .... And now your free will decides how you adjust yourselves to it .... Thus it can be to your spiritual advantage, but you can also reject every such thought if you are still too addicted to the world and all thoughts about an end are only a hindrance to your striving for the world. Then you will rather listen to the whispers of the dark beings, you will pay homage to the world and do everything to create or increase physical comfort for yourselves .... For then you will not believe in the soul's continuation of life after death either, you will only live for the sake of earthly life, and the beings of light will have little success because you will reject the flow of thoughts flowing to you, because you will close your heart to all good forces and their admonitions and warnings. And then you will have to experience everything you gladly reject. You will be disappointed by the world, you will have to recognize its fickleness, or else you will receive so abundantly from God's adversary that you will truly already have lost all reward which you have acquired on earth or which is demanded by God's adversary as a price for your soul and which he will willingly pay to you .... by giving you abundant earthly goods, prestige and power .... Don't demand such earthly possessions so that you won't fall prey to Him but recognize the time and gratefully accept all hardship and worries, for they prove to you that the father's love is still struggling for your souls, that He will not give you up and that He wants to win you and your thoughts before the end comes. For this reason He announces the end to you, and if you now think about it your soul will only benefit from it, for you will kill the worldly desire, you will nevertheless work on your soul while thinking about the end, and you will pray to God that He may give you strength to fulfil the purpose of earthly life, and then you will also be saved from eternal ruin. As soon as thoughts of the end come to you .... do not chase them away but deal with them, and only remember that there is no end for your soul .... and try to create the state for it that you don't need to shy away from an end either. And if you also find the path to God through such thoughts, for they are truly a blessing for you, and you can also trustingly hand yourselves over to the beings of light who look after you and worry about your soul's salvation .... And they will now always have an effect on your thoughts and also remind you again and again during this time of the near end .... They will never present the world to you in an appealing way, for the world is the realm of the prince of darkness, from which the beings of light want to keep you back and whose work they try to invalidate precisely with the reference to the near end, which can only ever be given to you mentally. And as difficult as these thoughts may be for you .... They are only favourable for your souls, and therefore don't reject them but let them have an effect on you, for one day you will be grateful for every warning cry that wrested you from the adversary's hands .... one day you will know that you were lovingly cared for so as not to be lost again for an infinitely long time ....

Amen

The spirit of God must be able to work .... Servants ....

B.D. 7983 from September 3rd 1961, taken from Book No. 83

I accept all those who offer themselves to Me for service, because I still need many labourers in My vineyard, because there is great spiritual need and because I can only ever address those through you humans who are not yet in the right relationship with Me .... because they only ever have to be addressed through human mouths through which I can then express Myself. But you must know one thing, that the labourers in My vineyard have to fulfil completely different tasks, that I assign each individual his activity and that this activity will always concern his fellow human being's salvation of soul, thus it should stimulate or awaken faith and love and determine his fellow human beings to work on their souls themselves .... Thus every person who strives spiritually himself and wants to induce his fellow human being to lead the same way of life will also be allowed to feel like a vineyard labourer, for he will always be active in My will and be concerned about his fellow human being's salvation of soul, and he will always be allowed to be certain of My blessing that I will support him in his endeavour, that I will place the right thoughts into his heart and that he will therefore now also speak according to My will, even if this happens in the form of conversations or debates in the spiritual sphere .... For I will always acknowledge and bless a person's good will to work for Me and My kingdom, to serve Me and to bring souls to Me. Thus the person's innermost will is always decisive as to whether I accept him as a servant in My vineyard .... And I recognize this, even if it is hidden from his fellow human being .... And in accordance with it I will now also distribute My instructions which every one of My servants feels in his heart, which move him mentally and which he will then also carry out because he feels inwardly urged to do so. And you humans can believe that I have many such silent vineyard labourers who often achieve greater success than those you regard as 'servants of God' and who are more outwardly prominent and pose as My representatives on earth and whose vineyard work is obvious but does not result in great spiritual success. As soon as they are in heartfelt contact with Me they will also be guided by My spirit and do the right vineyard work for Me, but this heartfelt bond with Me will always be the decisive factor, never the external position of a person who is considered a vineyard labourer. For this intimate bond allows My working of the spirit and My spirit must be able to work if the right vineyard work is to be done. And now you will also understand that a certain degree of maturity is a prerequisite in order to be able to accept a person as a servant in My vineyard, for he must be able to hear My instructions within himself in order to also be able to carry them out. Yet anyone who voluntarily offers himself to Me for service has also already reached this degree of maturity or he would not be inwardly impelled to serve Me .... And so now I can place him in the place where he can work successfully .... I need all of you, for the spiritual need is great. But you should pay attention to My instructions and not approach work which has not been assigned to you. You should let yourselves be guided by Me, for as soon as there is still a degree of ambition or wanting to stand out in you, you are not yet doing Me a proper service .... Then you can even endanger a work, because you can also be rejected in the right realization of an unspirit which then seeks to express itself .... Those people who want to be true servants to Me must be extremely humble and completely subordinate to My will, for only then will they follow My guidance and only then will they also successfully work in the vineyard. For then I Myself can work in them, and then My working can also take on such forms that they achieve extraordinary things, that they are quite obviously recognizable as My labourers in the vineyard .... And then they can also fulfil spiritual missions which will result in greatest blessings .... Then they will be active as My rightful representatives on earth through whom I can then also obviously work ....

Amen

Awakening the divine spiritual spark will guarantee a change in character ....

B.D. 7984 from September 4th 1961, taken from Book No. 83

You once deprived yourselves of your divinity by changing your fundamental nature into the opposite, you were no longer beings of light but had become beings of darkness, for you were devoid of all love because you had rejected My love which wanted to permeate you and make you happy for all eternity .... And in this ungodliness, in this totally opposite nature to Mine, you were distant from Me, you utterly reversed your nature and could therefore no longer be close to Me because you would have ceased to exist in My light of love, it would have consumed you completely .... However, it was not My will that the being which had once emerged from My strength of love should vanish, I only wanted its return to Me, but this necessitated a change in nature which reduced its distance from Me until, finally, this distance was completely overcome by the fact that the being had adopted its original state again .... until it had totally become love again and My love was able to permeate it again as before .... This transformation into love required of Me an act of mercy and love: I had to place a tiny spark of My eternal love into you because you were utterly devoid of love and therefore also incapable of changing yourselves and your nature .... An exceedingly long and painful process of return had almost broken your past opposition to Me, yet then you entered into a state in which you received free will again, which prior to that had been bound .... And in this state of free will .... as a human being .... the re-transformation into love should take place again, which would have been utterly impossible had a tiny spark of love not laid dormant in you, which is a gift of grace I place into every person's heart and which characterises him as a divine living creation as soon as he voluntarily kindles the spark of love to flare up into a bright flame .... This work has to be accomplished by the human being himself. And he can certainly do it precisely because the divine spark of love lies dormant in him. This spark of love is a divine part, it is a minute spark of My eternal spirit of love which is inseparably connected to Me, which also incessantly strives back to the eternal Father-Spirit but which allows the human being complete freedom as to whether he yields to it or whether he smothers the small spark with his anti-divine nature on account of his connection with My adversary which he is not prepared to give up.

You are all able to love but whether you are willing is left up to you .... And although the spiritual spark in you, seeing it is part of Me, has tremendous strength, it will not force you to change your nature but it will make it easier, it is not an impossibility that this change of nature into love can occur during your short lifetime on earth. The connection with Me is in place, it just has to be striven for by yourselves for you to feel its effect when My love can shine into you again .... A bond between the spiritual spark in you and the Father-Spirit must be established, then the change of nature will irrevocably take place and you will become the happiest beings again, as you were in the beginning. But without this spiritual spark in you, which is My share, you would be hopelessly lost .... You are able to love, you have the ability to feel and to emanate love .... you are not entirely devoid of love if you don't resist this spirit of love in you, if you don't push towards My adversary who will always prevent you from carrying out loving acts but who cannot stop you if you kindle the light in you, if you pay attention to the gentle voice within and comply with it, which will always stimulate you to be lovingly active. For My spiritual spark is truly mighty and full of strength because it is part of Me .... It will strengthen even the slightest will towards it and there is nothing My adversary can do to stop it, for he cannot fight against Me since I Am, after all, inside of you .... I just don't force you if you oppose Me of your own free will. And this divine spark of spirit, which is part of Me, is also the guarantee that you can change, for it is strength from Me which enables you to do anything you seriously strive for. And in order for you to muster this serious will the divine Redeemer will always help you, He merely wants to be acknowledged and asked to strengthen your will .... For He and I are one; you once rejected Me, you refused to acknowledge Me as your God and Creator and followed the one who drew you into the abyss .... And he will be in control of you until you appeal to Me for help and thus recognise and acknowledge Me in Jesus Christ .... And truly, the adversary's power will be broken if you confront him with My name; your will shall be strengthened and your desire for union with Me will constantly grow stronger .... The spiritual spark in you will seriously strive towards the bond with the eternal Father-Spirit, you will give in to the inner urge and will be impelled into kind-hearted activity because I Myself can once again permeate you with My love .... And your nature will again take on a quality which resembles My fundamental nature .... It transforms itself into love and will inseparably unite with Me, then you will never leave Me again; the child will have returned to the Father from Whom it once originated ....

Amen

Dissolution of the earth is God's act of love ....

B.D. 7985 from September 6th 1961, taken from Book No. 83

My love alone is also the reason for the last work of destruction on this earth. You may well object that a God Who wants to be recognized as 'creator' will not destroy His own works of creation .... Yet I know and have known since eternity why I let material creations come into being, and I also know when they have fulfilled their purpose, when they have to be dissolved again for the sake of the spiritual substances bound in them .... I know the final purpose of everything I created .... and the final purpose has again only been determined by My greater than great love .... And it will always be My love's reason, whatever happens on earth and in the whole universe .... Admittedly, you humans cannot overlook this because you don't know the correlations of all this, because you lack the understanding for it as long as your soul has not reached a certain degree of maturity. But I could never do otherwise than work with love and bring My wise plans to fruition .... For I have set Myself the aim of the beatification of all beingness which has emerged from My love. Thus My love is the reason even if you humans are unable to recognize it. Yet you are still limited in your thinking and understanding, you are mostly still in a state of wretchedness, and this also signifies a lack of light .... You cannot recognize anything and you don't know about My eternal plan of salvation. You only see with the eyes of a still immature human being, and you also compare Me with yourselves in your limitation. Thus you judge Me and My reign and activity according to human judgement .... And thus a work of destruction, such as will take place at the end of the earth, is also an act of unkindness for you, because then you yourselves will lose your life as well as everything of substance which testifies to life in creation .... For you don't know that every work of creation contains fallen spiritual substances which shall develop upwards .... You don't know that every destruction of such works of creation, which originate from My will, signifies an act of redemption for that bound spiritual substance, a new stage in the ascent development which has to take place according to eternal law .... which again is only based on My great love. But as soon as this knowledge can be conveyed to you, as soon as you receive My direct instructions from above or are indirectly instructed by My messengers, you will already have reached a certain degree of maturity of your souls, and then you will have understanding for My eternal plan of salvation, and you will also look forward to the end without fear, you will no longer regard a 'destruction' of earth as an act of unkindness .... You will know My plan and My aim and be in such close contact with Me that you will be able to recognize My love in everything that happens. You will reciprocate My love and therefore also endure it and confess Me before the world when this confession is demanded of you. And therefore I instruct you again and again and inform you about My nature .... For this nature of Mine is misrepresented to you if you portray Me as a God of wrath and vengeance, as a God of heartlessness, as a punishing judge or overly strict lord Whom you should or must fear because you do not recognize Him as a being Who is love in Himself .... And this is why I repeatedly bring the truth to you humans, for you live in darkness, you cannot distinguish truth from error, and you are far more likely to accept error than the truth which originates from Me. And therefore a purification must also take place on earth, which started with the purification of the word which you have represented as 'My word' until now and which can no longer be acknowledged as 'My' word, for it has lost its claim to be regarded as My word due to constant contamination. As long as you humans are unable to recognize your God and creator as an exceedingly loving father you are not in the right knowledge about Him, about His nature, His rule and activity and about the connection of all events which are only intended to achieve the highest aim of shaping you, His living creations, into His 'children' .... For love is My fundamental nature, you also emerged from love, thus you were originally of the same substance, and one day love will also bring about the union with Me again, which will make you the most blissful beings again, as you were in the beginning ....

Amen

Love accomplished the work of redemption ....

B.D. 7986 from September 7th 1961, taken from Book No. 83

The love of Jesus, the man, for His fellow human beings was so great that it moved Him to take the most severe suffering upon Himself in order to help them because He recognized their great spiritual hardship, their wretchedness and their helplessness to free themselves from My adversary through their own strength .... The love of the man Jesus gave Him brightest light about people's state, about its cause and only possibility of salvation .... Love therefore sacrificed Itself for their salvation, for He also recognized by virtue of His love the mission He Himself had taken on .... He knew that He Himself had offered Me to descend to earth, to take abode in a human shell and to shape it such that it could serve Me as a shell .... the great spirit of infinity, Which was unlimited yet could fully radiate through a human shell. And thus I Myself became a human being, i.e. My strength of love, My fundamental substance, completely filled a human form which contained a pure soul from above .... a soul from the kingdom of light which had offered itself to accomplish a work of atonement for the great original sin of the fallen spirits, as My justice demanded, in order to be able to receive the fallen beings into My kingdom again. The man Jesus was this soul of light, He was the human form which I chose for My abode and in which I Myself accomplished the work of redemption for you .... The man Jesus had to endure immense suffering during His life on earth because His soul felt the darkness in which it had to dwell and because He crowned His path of suffering with His death on the cross, which was immeasurably painful and brought freedom to the people of the past, the present and the future from the hands of the power which was hostile towards Me and had once dragged the spiritual realm down to the abyss .... But He must be acknowledged as the redeemer Jesus Christ, in Whom the eternal deity Himself accomplished the work of redemption for the great guilt of sin. For only this recognition brings him the solution from My adversary .... The recognition of Jesus as the cover of Myself also means for the human being to become free from the former guilt. And this recognition has to be alive, not just dead words uttered by the mouth but convinced faith that He and I became one .... that Jesus is God, that I Myself was in the man Jesus and thus I Myself redeemed people from sin and death. In order to attain this living, i.e. convinced faith, you must live in love .... You must follow the man Jesus, Whose life was an unceasing activity of love .... And if only you are of will, He will also strengthen this will so that you will profess Him with conviction and thereby also be allowed to make use of the blessings of the act of salvation, which will ensure your complete redemption. You should know about the great significance of His descent, about His mission and about the mystery of My human manifestation in Him .... You should know that He was only the visible cover for Me Myself, Who, as an infinite spirit, could not be visible to you and therefore chose a cover for Myself which I could fully radiate through, so that you can now behold Me if you acknowledge My act of salvation and want to accept the sacrifice of the man Jesus .... if you yourselves desire the redemption of your original sin and therefore take refuge under the cross with your guilt. And it will truly be taken from you, you will be free and able to enter My kingdom of light and bliss again, and then you will be able to behold Me Myself in Him .... in Jesus Christ, in Whom I Myself died for you on the cross .... For it was love which descended to earth in Jesus, it was love which filled Him and which made the most difficult sacrifice for you humans, and this love was I Myself ....

Amen
