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's eternal infinite love ....

B.D. 7987 from September 9th 1961, taken from Book No. 84

Now then, hear that I have loved you from the beginning with a love whose strength you are unable to measure and which therefore cannot leave you either, you who once came forth from this love of Mine .... My love will always accompany you, it is just often not noticeable to you as long as you still offer Me inner resistance. Yet this cannot move Me to reduce My love for you, for since My fundamental nature is love it will also remain unchanged forever, just as My nature can never change .... for it is supremely perfect .... Therefore, embrace My love and don't let go of yourselves forever. And this means that it will not leave you forever in the distance where you have placed yourselves but that it will always and forever pursue you and try to illuminate you until you voluntarily open yourselves to this illumination of love and voluntarily take the path to Me because love urges love. Love is strength which, however, is ineffective if it encounters resistance. I Myself never reduce My illumination of love, yet you can render it ineffective by virtue of your free will, and this then means a lack of light and strength .... an unfortunate state in which you humans on earth find yourselves as long as you still remain in a defensive position towards Me. And you are in a defensive position if you turn away from Me, from your God and father of eternity, if you don't believe in Me and therefore don't establish any kind of bond with Me, both in prayer as well as through a life of love .... if you live on earth without a spiritual thought .... if you don't believe anything .... Then the distance from Me is exceedingly great and yet My love for you does not diminish. For eternal love cannot hate, nor can It be indifferent towards the state of Its creatures .... but 'love' will always try to find counter-love and woo for it without ceasing. And the whole of creation only came into being for the purpose of revealing Myself in My nature, which is love .... For the human being has already matured to such an extent that he can recognize this creation as a revelation on My part if only he wants to. I reveal Myself to him as a power Which is exceedingly wise and loving, for My wisdom and My love expresses itself in every work of creation .... And thereby I also want to win your love, I want you as a human being to recognize Me and My nature in everything that surrounds you, and I want you to recognize yourselves as the product of this creative power and My will of love and now enter into contact with you, Whom you are no longer able to deny when you seriously think about it, if you are honest and if your will is not fundamentally satanically oriented .... But then your resistance against Me is still too great for you to allow My effect of love, and then it will still take an eternity until you will one day enter into a bond with Me of your own free will .... But My love will not leave you forever .... But the sooner you feel it the closer you are to Me and the closer you are to beatitude, to the state of perfection, for My illumination of love, which no longer finds resistance, irrevocably results in your perfection, because you, too, accept your divine original nature again when you change into love, and because My illumination of love certainly causes your change of nature. (9/9/1961) And My love has won the victory which My adversary wanted to dispute but which will never succeed, yet one day he, too, will be allowed to desire and receive My love, he, too, will return to his father's house and I will accept him and prepare bliss for him which will never ever come to an end again ....

Amen

Man shall help the bound spiritual to serve ....

B.D. 7988 from September 9th 1961, taken from Book No. 84

You, too, take care of the fallen spiritual beings by endeavouring to exert a good beneficial effect on everything that surrounds you .... by embracing everything with your love, be it human beings, animals or even the plant world .... Consider every work of creation as a carrier of the fallen spiritual, which strives upwards in the law of compulsion, and help it to fulfil the task which enables the spiritual bound in it to mature. You can believe that this spiritual substance senses your love and also reacts to it by decreasing its resistance and willingly serving, for the spiritual substance can only be touched by the spiritual again as long as it does not live on earth as an I-conscious being. But as soon as you give this spiritual being the opportunity to be able to serve .... as well as all works of creation down to hard matter can fulfil their purpose through your will, their time will be shortened, and the spiritual substance bound in it will come to a faster dissolution of its material cover and can deform itself anew again, which always signifies a step of ascent development for this spiritual substance. And you should look after it lovingly, i.e. always acknowledge its services and be grateful for all help you experience yourselves through all those creations. Everything that serves you in daily life fulfils its purpose, for there is no work of creation which does not have meaning and purpose, even if you don't recognize the purpose .... And if your being emanates love then this spiritual substance around you also feels this emanation, but it often first requires your will in order to be able to serve you. And thus you yourselves can be a hindrance to its development if you hoard material creations, if you accumulate riches which remain unused and are not used for their intended purpose for a long time, if you then prolong the spiritual being's course of development in those creations because you prevent it from being of service. But then you yourselves are still very attached to matter, and this is also a sign of a low degree of love, you love the world and its goods, and therefore you collect treasures and unconsciously prolong their torments because they cannot be released from their form for a long time in order to be able to revive a new one. But if love is in you, then your thinking will also be right, you will give but not hoard .... And you will cause everything around you to be of service and radiate a right blessing .... And as soon as you yourselves create with your hands, when you are creatively active by dissolving matter and transforming it into new creations, you yourselves also contribute to the redemption of the bound, for you then create things for yourselves again which serve you, and every change of an external form is a progress upwards. But good motives must always drive you to such changes and transformations of matter .... you always have to assign a serving function to the things you create, and the more urgently you need such things the faster the spiritual substance bound in them progresses upwards, even though a very long time will still pass until the process of maturing has brought that degree to the spiritual substance that it can now develop as a living being up to the level of a human being .... that it can finally serve in free will. But love will stimulate everything into activity, and love will only ever have a favourable effect on all still bound spiritual substances. And that is why a person who lives in love will radiate extremely good emanations to his fellow human beings .... And love will always have a redeeming effect, even if you humans are unable to observe it or have no knowledge of it. You humans should voluntarily serve with love in earthly life, and the spiritual substances around you will also serve you because their resistance will diminish and they will also unconsciously strive for freedom ....

Amen

God's guidance of His servants ....

B.D. 7989 from September 10th 1961, taken from Book No. 84

Everything you undertake in My name, for which you ask for My blessing, will be a blessing for you. And thus you will also experience My support at all times if you let Me walk by your side .... if you entrust yourselves to My guidance .... And I will guide you correctly, for the paths you are to take in order to serve Me are marked out for you. My concern is only ever for people's souls whom I still want to win before the end comes. I want to speak to them and therefore send My messengers to them .... I want them to take notice of My word, and I truly know which doors I can still knock on, where I can desire entrance and also be accepted .... And to all these I still seek to convey My word, and you, My servants, shall be the messengers I send to them .... For this reason I will also take over your guidance and you need only trustingly hand yourselves over to Me that I will guide you. For you must know that the time is only limited and therefore you must not neglect to spread My gospel. But you may also completely rely on Me that I will walk beside you and that you should only ever let everything approach you, for it will come as My will determines and as it is also beneficial for your mission .... And as it comes, so it is also good, even if you yourselves sometimes don't recognize the expediency of an event .... Therefore any worry you have is useless .... You should only believe and turn your thoughts towards Me and then calmly walk by My hand and be full of inner peace .... But you should also be aware of the fact that it is necessary to always seek contact with Me anew, because the world often wants to prevent you from doing so. Therefore you should never let go of My hand, you should only ever want Me to stay with you and guide you, and truly, your paths will be right and always lead to where you will find peace and inner tranquillity. World events will worry you more and more and yet you will no longer be able to avert anything, for it will happen as it is intended according to the plan of eternity .... because the time is fulfilled, because the spiritual turning point has to occur which also necessitates an earthly turning point .... But you, who belong to My own, you shall carry out your mission which aims to redeem the souls. As long as I need you for this, world events will not particularly affect you either, after all, I truly have ways and means at My disposal to avert from you, who want to serve Me, what could prevent your vineyard work. My plan of salvation from eternity is fixed, and your willingness to serve Me has been known to Me since eternity, and therefore My plan, which aims at the return of the fallen spirits, could also be accordingly. Every single soul I still win before the end is known to Me, and I spare no ways or means where it is possible to save even a single soul from ruin. But I will always respect free will and therefore also bless every person who serves Me in free will in accordance with My plan of salvation. And I take special care of him .... And as soon as he therefore places himself at My side in free will he can also be certain that he no longer needs to worry about his earthly existence, about his fate and his task, for everything is now guided by Me and everything is My will or My permission .... And you should live in this certainty and only ever do what you are inwardly urged to do .... Then your earthly walk will be a blessed one, you will be able to be certain of My protection and guidance, you will not take wrong paths, you will be fit servants for Me in My vineyard, you will fulfil your mission and serve Me, and I will bless you in time and eternity ....

Amen

The vineyard labourers' service for fellow human beings ....

B.D. 7990 from September 14th 1961, taken from Book No. 84

You have been given the task of spreading the Word of the Lord and you will be guided such that it will benefit your task. You are constantly looked after by Him, you need not go anywhere on your own, you need only hand yourselves over to Him and then you will always act according to His will .... You will be guided in an earthly and spiritual sense and therefore also work in His vineyard according to His will. The Father's love embraces all His living creations and He knows that many of His creatures still suffer great spiritual adversity .... Yet He is unable to speak to them noticeably, His voice cannot sound within them or it would exert compulsory faith or forcibly direct their will towards Him. But He can speak to them through you, His servants on earth, and He will indeed do so as soon as the opportunity for it presents itself, which your will is to provide. And since every single soul is dear to him, He will always guide you such that these souls will become accessible to Him through you. It is an immense spiritual achievement if thoughts of the afterlife can be aroused in people, if their attention can be drawn to the kingdom which is not of this world, if they only once consider the purpose of their life on earth and mentally try to detach themselves from this world, but this is difficult to achieve with people who are so utterly captivated by the world that they won't allow any spiritual thoughts to arise in them. Hence it is difficult for the vineyard labourers to establish contact with them; but if they succeed in their attempt it will be even more beneficial, and it will always be achieved through God's blessing, to Whom you are of service. Consequently, no work will ever be in vain for Him, souls will always derive benefit from it, because you are constantly accompanied by souls in the beyond who feel the soothing effect of your emanation of light and greedily consume the spiritual nourishment which is offered them by you when you receive the divine Word and pass it on to fellow human beings who willingly listen to you .... You must only ever be willing to be of service to Him, for it is a service you do for your fellow human beings if you support them on behalf of God, if you do what He Himself would do for them .... if you convey His Word to them, if you inform them of the Father's love and the relationship He would like them to establish with Him .... if you return the children He longs for to the Father. You should speak in His name, you should merely be the mouthpiece through which the Father can express Himself .... for human words are still more likely to be accepted as the Word of God as long as a human being has no faith .... But he can be led to faith through human beings, and these human beings will then work for God and His kingdom, then they will be suitable labourers in His vineyard and their work will not be fruitless ....

Amen

Events that cannot be proven historically ....

B.D. 7991 from September 14th 1961, taken from Book No. 84

How often have you been addressed by Me and you could hear My voice. And again and again I have thereby proven My love for you and My presence. And your faith has been strengthened, for the fact that I spoke to you could no longer be denied because you now have spiritual knowledge at your disposal which could only be conveyed to you through Me Myself. And thus you were also able to believe, but your faith was nevertheless not a forced faith, not a faith corroborated by evidence, instead I was only able to speak to you because you believed .... And this faith I will bless you .... In the end times it is far more difficult to come to a living faith if it is only built on a transferred knowledge, on so-called traditions .... It is not easy to believe something that goes back a long time and cannot be historically proven. And yet again, every human being can come to the inner conviction that much is based on truth which is passed on to him through tradition .... Although it cannot be proven, he can believe it with conviction and now build on those teachings. But he must live a life of love, because then his spirit will be awakened which will instruct him from within. Only the spirit makes him alive, and every human being can awaken this spirit within himself, and then even that which lies far back in time as unproven will appear to the human being as clear truth, as convinced knowledge; he will believe it even without proof. And thus, because a life of love is necessary, it will be possible at any time to take notice of events which lie far in the past, which humanity would like to deny but which again and again are conveyed to humanity through spiritual activity.... then indeed only have to be 'believed' but the faith can now be such a convinced one that the human being recognizes himself as standing in truth and fully accepts such gained knowledge. And thus many people will regard Jesus Christ's act of salvation as a legend, as an unprovable doctrine, and therefore will not find faith either .... And yet, this knowledge will also be accepted again with complete conviction that it is truth by those who gave life to their spirit through a life of love and who will now also be taught by it. And I will give people credit for this faith, for it will become increasingly rarer because love has grown cold amongst people and thus complete spiritual darkness also covers the earth. Yet especially in the last days My gospel shall be preached with conviction .... Especially in the last days the knowledge of and faith in Jesus Christ's act of salvation has become so necessary that My representatives on earth must testify of Him in all liveliness in order to find faith, which requires an awakening of their spirit, which only makes them true proclaimers of the gospel. Only those with an awakened spirit will be suitable labourers for Me, for they will be able to distinguish which teachings are to be believed and which teachings can be rejected, which again and again have imposed themselves through My adversary's influence and are represented as truth .... However, they are recognized as error by My true servants because their spirit is enlightened. However, all those who are able to hear My voice within themselves, because they are intimately united with Me through a life of love according to My will, Who is love itself, will always receive the right enlightenment about the act of salvation .... These I can address directly because their love also instilled in them the faith that the father speaks to His children .... I will bless them especially and allow them to be My true co-workers, for I will be able to transfer My will to them because they completely submit themselves to My will; and thus I Myself will be able to work through My servants .... I will be able to reveal Myself to all people who are of good will, for they will experience the evidence of My presence through My word which clearly sounds in those who have living faith, who live in love and thus have awakened the spirit in themselves to life. For what I speak to them is recorded; it is knowledge which only I Myself can impart to people .... it is a knowledge which corresponds to the truth and has taken its origin in Me, as the eternal truth .... It is the evidence of My presence in the one who loves Me and keeps My commandments and to whom I can now reveal Myself as I have promised ....

Amen

Jesus' free will as a human being ....

B.D. 7992 from September 15th 1961, taken from Book No. 84

Until the end My suffering and dying on the cross also remained a matter of free will, since I truly could have prevented it by making use of God's indwelling strength and resisting all enemies who wanted to implement their thoughts of hatred of Me .... I accomplished the act entirely of My own free will; I was willing to suffer and die for My fellow human beings because, as 'Jesus, the human being', I knew that the whole of the human race was in an appalling state of wretchedness due to the past original sin, and because My love wanted to help all My fallen brothers I had offered Myself to the Father as a sacrifice of atonement .... I was by no means forced to do so, the Father in Me did not dictate My will, I acted completely freely of My own accord .... And I found it incredibly difficult because I foresaw everything that would happen until the act of Salvation had been completely accomplished .... I, as a human being, struggled and prayed in profound distress to the Father that He should remove the cup from Me .... and I was strengthened and completely gave Myself to the Father. For the love in Me was overwhelmingly powerful, thus the Eternal Love Itself was indeed within Me and I allowed Myself to be determined by It, which would have been impossible had My human will resisted. Love impelled Me toward the wretched human race and I wanted to help people, and this love made Me accept an extent of suffering which you humans are incapable of assessing. Yet the guilt you had burdened yourselves with as a result of your apostasy from God was also inconceivable. And, in order to atone for this guilt, I had to suffer enormously as a human being and endure the agony of the crucifixion. Love, however, is strength and therefore I persevered until the end, or the suffering itself would truly have been enough to kill My body prematurely had the strength of love not enabled My body to accept the death on the cross and to persevere until the work was accomplished .... until the redemption from sin and death had been guaranteed for all people who accept My sacrifice on the cross and want to find redemption. So once again it depends on the person's free will as to how he relates to Me and My act of Salvation. For every being had turned away from Me of its own free will, and of its own free will it must turn back to Me again which happens when, as a human being, it acknowledges Jesus Christ and His act of Salvation, when it recognises Me Myself in Jesus and voluntarily hands itself and its guilt over to Me .... when it appeals for forgiveness and wants to return to Me again, Whom it once voluntarily left. Then the human being will consciously avail himself of the blessings of My act of Salvation, his weakened will shall receive strength and his return into his Father's house will be assured.

The inconceivable suffering I took upon Myself as a human being was still in no proportion to the immense guilt of the fallen spirits, but since Jesus, the human being, was full of love and volunteered the hardest sacrifice by relinquishing His life on the cross, I was satisfied with this sacrifice and redeemed all guilt for the sake of Jesus' great love, Who wanted to bring His fallen brothers back to Me again .... This was sufficient for Me, and thus My justice was also satisfied .... for I was unable to redeem any guilt which would have remained without atonement. Hence the act of Salvation had to be voluntarily accomplished. I did not allow any being to be forced into rendering this atonement .... And since the immense sin of the apostasy from Me had been a violation of My love, the act of atonement had to be an act of love again, for only love could redeem this immense guilt .... This love dwelled within Jesus, the human being. He was so receptive to it that He was completely imbued with love, which subsequently enabled Him to achieve His act of Salvation .... Love redeemed the sin .... Love completely permeated a human being .... I Myself Am Love, and thus I Myself was in Jesus, the human being, I Myself suffered and died for the human race. However, since I was unable to suffer as God, the 'human being Jesus' took all suffering upon Himself. Yet He did everything of His own free will, for although love does not compel, it willingly makes the greatest sacrifices .... And love achieves everything; it is a powerful strength which can endure even the most appalling affliction. I Myself, the Eternal Love, imbued Jesus, the human being, and thus I Myself was effective in Him and brought people redemption from sin and death ....

Amen

Passing on prophecies ....

B.D. 7993 from September 16th 1961, taken from Book No. 84

The prophetic gift places an obligation on you: to pass on what the prophet receives through My spirit. They are only ever predictions of a spiritual nature, even if they concern forthcoming world events, yet they are always spiritually founded and only ever predicted so that people will spiritually prepare themselves for them; for it is absurd to make earthly arrangements because they are useless, because (if) My will determines otherwise. But people should know that everything that happens is spiritually based and happens or is allowed to happen for the sake of spiritual maturity .... In addition, people should not be affected by revolutionary events unprepared, they should have time and opportunity to spiritually adjust to them and, above all, think of their salvation .... And they should also try to influence their fellow human beings in the same sense, but they will only do so if they themselves believe in what they have received as spiritual transmission. But you will only recognize a true prophet by the fact that he does not instruct people about the future for the sake of earthly gain but that he proclaims My will completely unselfishly, which is thus revealed to him through spiritual foresight. And what I want to proclaim to people in advance shall only ever shake them up in their thinking, it shall cause them to have the right attitude towards Me and the world .... They shall learn to regard the latter as transient and think of their souls more eagerly, they shall not carelessly abandon themselves to everyday life, they shall seriously think about themselves, always in view of a sudden end which those prophets announce in the last days. This is why My prophets of the last days shall be listened to, because they are My messengers whom I Myself send to people in order to admonish and warn them. And thus every prophet also has the constant instruction to mention My announcements and at the same time to point out the unusual grace of My direct address .... And because it is particularly important in the end times that people learn what lies ahead of them, the prophets should also speak without any inhibition about what is coming .... People will not believe it but they will nevertheless keep thinking about it, and that is the purpose of My predictions, so that they will not be completely unprepared for what is coming and that they will then also believe the final predictions when the first prophecies concerning the forthcoming natural event come true, which you are to mention again and again. A true prophet speaks from My spirit, for he does not seek any advantage for himself .... What he proclaims to people will not make them happy, and therefore he will mostly be rejected and ridiculed .... But I Myself will again and again impel him to speak, that is, My spirit will work in him. He will speak wherever the opportunity presents itself. And this will always be the characteristic of a genuine prophet, that he will not strive for earthly advantages and that he will not make use of earthly aids .... that he will speak, impelled by My spirit. For I Myself will put the words into his mouth when he speaks to his fellow human beings who will lend him an open ear; yet it will be difficult to find a hearing with worldly people, for those who are still too attached to the world find it difficult to speak of an end, it is difficult to find belief in them that the world is transient .... It is difficult to induce them to change their way of life, and therefore they will reject everything and also declare the prophets to be untrustworthy. But it comes about as they proclaim it, for they do not speak of themselves but My spirit gives them what they speak, and this spirit does not err .... And therefore remember that there are indeed true and false prophets but that a true prophet will only ever proclaim to you what serves your soul best .... and that you are at the mercy of false prophets when earthly things which serve your physical well-being are predicted to you, which you may never believe, for the time is fulfilled, and I only ever want to admonish and warn you so that you will not experience what is coming unprepared, so that you seriously remember your souls and seek contact with Me. For this alone will guarantee you protection and help in every adversity .... The bond with Me alone assures you My support, whatever may come upon you ....

Amen

Outpouring of the spirit .... Spiritual communion ....

B.D. 7994 from September 17th 1961, taken from Book No. 84

And thus only ever regard yourselves as vessels, as bowls into which I can pour My spirit for your and humanity's blessing. As long as a connection has been established from earth to the kingdom of light the influx of light is also possible, and every person can enter the realm of My light if only he has the will to escape the darkness. But this will has to be there, for no light will reach you against your will, i.e. you would not feel the rays of light and pass by untouched into the darkness again, from which you don't want to detach yourselves. But people can consider themselves fortunate that a source of light has been made accessible to them, to which they have access at any time .... that they only need to help themselves to the bowls in order to drink from it, to quench their thirst, in order to be able to walk the earthly path strengthened until the end. You humans, who have prepared yourselves as receptacles for My spirit, you can now guide the water of life everywhere, you can lead your fellow human beings as bearers of light on the path upwards; you can impart to them everything you receive from Me, and thereby you will render Me a true service by taking care of the erring human race which still lives in spiritual darkness, where My spirit cannot work as yet and people live without correct knowledge, without realization of their earthly life and therefore live this earthly life in vain .... But you can impart the right knowledge to them, you can enlighten them and try to induce them to change their way of life which only applies to hoarding matter .... you can encourage them to seriously judge themselves and now also lead their lives in accordance with My will .... But in order to achieve this you must bring them the truth, you must convincingly proclaim My word to them as I Myself give it to you from above .... You must therefore make it possible for Me Myself to speak to them through your mouth .... you must let Me speak to them through the scriptures when you convey My pure word to them, when your fellow human beings hear or read it unchanged, which you thus make possible through your work and your will. Then you will be true labourers in My vineyard, and then you will only carry out My will and contribute towards the light increasingly chasing away the darkness which is still spread across the earth. A direct address to your fellow human beings is not yet possible, but through you it will take place indirectly, and the strength of My word will truly not fail to have an effect .... Only the will to listen to Me is necessary first. Your fellow human beings must not reject you, they must be willing to listen to you if you speak to them on My behalf, if you proclaim the gospel to them which you have received from Me .... If you let Me Myself speak through you, if you enter into the closest bond with Me through your will so that My spirit can express itself in you, then brightest light will shine down to earth into whose circle countless souls will now enter who desire light and therefore will also be illuminated by My light of love from eternity .... And this process is spiritual communion .... Everything unites that is of a will turned towards Me and listens to My word .... I can address it, for I only need open hearts for this which accept My ray of love-light within themselves, which want to quench their spiritual hunger and thirst and to whom I can now supply nourishment which is helpful for their soul's salvation. I am always willing to hand it out; again and again I will address you, but I always require suitable vessels into which My spirit can pour itself. And your souls shall receive nourishment, they shall be fed and watered, they shall be allowed to refresh themselves and again and again experience strengthening, they shall now also be able to effortlessly cover the ascent to the height, because again and again they may refresh themselves at the source which I Myself have tapped and which will not run dry from Me either, for every receptive vessel forces Me to emanate My light of love, for it is permeated by love for Me or it would not have prepared itself for Me and My flow of spirit .... And My abundance of love is exceedingly great, and it truly pours into every human heart which opens itself to Me, which lets Me in in order to take supper with Me. And I will distribute without measure, and anyone who only desires food and drink will be allowed to receive in abundance ....

Amen

Time of tribulation .... God's protection ....

B.D. 7995 from September 17th 1961, taken from Book No. 84

I grant all spiritual requests, and thus I will address My own as soon as they desire My address. And I will tell them what they need to know. I will inform them of all questions concerning the spiritual realm but I will also inform them that they are approaching a difficult time where they will need much strength to get through this time. But I will also distribute unlimited strength to anyone who desires it and unites with Me so that My strength can flow into him. You humans are all weak and would fail very quickly without My support. But I know the will of every individual, and I know where it is directed. I know who strives towards Me and who seeks the world and follows its temptations. And I let Myself be reached and found by everyone who earnestly seeks Me. You can be certain that even a single thought of Me is enough which you turn to Me out of your heart. I will never close Myself off where I recognize this devotion to Me .... I am always willing to give, I only ever want to hand out in order to make you happy. For I love you, My children, and I want you to feel My love. Therefore you need not fear that I will turn away from you if you desire Me. Your desire alone determines Me to respond, and I will always fulfil your desire, but especially when you address spiritual requests to Me which also prove your love for Me. And I will distribute it to you, you may receive unlimited strength and it will benefit you when you are in adversity and then also need strength in order to be able to offer resistance .... And you are facing such adversity, for world events are turning and a time of tribulation is approaching which requires great strength from you. Yet you, who are Mine, who unite with Me again and again in prayer, in thought or in loving activity, will visibly be protected by My fatherly love and receive strength from Me, and you will not experience earthly suffering so severely because you know yourselves to be safe in My care; you will only ever desire My word and it will sound to you .... And because it is blessed with My strength you will also overcome all opposition, you will feel My presence and trustingly expect My protection and My help. Much spiritual help is granted to you humans, you just have to accept it. You only ever have to want your God and father to take care of you, and then you will also be well protected, for My spiritual servants and messengers of light are always ready and waiting for My instructions, and your will alone is decisive for their enlightened assistance. Worldly people will try to master all adversity with their own strength but they will not be successful, for everything I recognize as being detrimental to every individual soul will be destroyed; My own, however, only turn to Me and they will receive what they need, for I truly also preserve the earthly life of anyone who entrusts himself to Me, yet always in a way I recognize as beneficial for his soul. But if I assure you of My protection and support you can also approach the difficult time carefree; you can feel connected to Me and the spiritual kingdom from where help will always reach you, even if earthly help no longer seems possible. Yet everything is possible for Me, My love is endless and My power unlimited .... Thus I can truly also command the elements if they threaten you .... I can let unusual things happen if My children trust in Me and ask Me for My help. But you should never doubt My love, and you should only ever request My love, for love is strength, and with My strength you are able to overcome everything that comes upon you .... For then you will also let Me Myself be present in you and you will no longer need to fear anything ....

Amen

Cycle .... Concluding a period of Salvation ....

B.D. 7996 from September 18th 1961, taken from Book No. 84

The circle is completed .... It is the end of a period of Salvation which began a long time ago and can be spoken of as a very significant phase of Salvation because I Myself descended to Earth in order to accomplish the act of Salvation on behalf of all fallen spiritual beings. And after this act of Salvation the first fallen spirits were able to return, they acknowledged Me and will remain with Me forever because they voluntarily shaped themselves back into love .... But now a new period of Salvation will begin .... And this first necessitates the dissolution of all material creations on, in and above the earth and a total transformation of the earth's surface. And once again a judgment of spiritual beings in every degree of maturity will take place, new creations will arise which will receive the spiritual substances according to their degree of maturity and will help them to develop further; and a new human generation will come forth from those people who remained faithful to Me, who will survive the final battle of faith on this earth and thus pass the last great test of will .... And these people will form the root of the new human generation which will occupy the new earth .... whereas everything that is still utterly opposed to Me will be banished in solid matter to start its higher development again .... An earthly period comes to an end, and that means that one cycle has been completed again .... that many souls will have left their external cover for good and finally have returned into the spiritual kingdom again .... that they thus found complete redemption through Jesus Christ and then comply with their purpose in the spiritual kingdom, that they continue to ascend ever higher because there is no limit in the kingdom of light and because all My children will eternally strive towards Me, since it increases their happiness to always find fulfilment of their love and never to lessen their desire for My love .... And likewise the process of returning the spirits on earth will continue .... For an infinitely long time and countless periods of development will still have to pass by until all spiritual beings are redeemed .... I say this to you, My servants on Earth, because I can only initiate a few people into My plan of Salvation, for only a few can grasp this reign and activity of Mine in order to guide the fallen spiritual beings back to bliss ....

The connections from Earth to Me are established ever less often, a living faith in Me is ever more infrequently to be found which is the requirement to convey this knowledge to people. However, wherever possible I will constantly influence people through the mouth of those who offer their active service to Me. They find little credence with their fellow human beings and yet I reveal My plan of Salvation through My messengers to all people who want to accept My revelations. And I inform them of the fact that once again one phase of Salvation is coming to conclusion and a new one will begin. And this will be an extremely painful process for those who do not believe, who have handed themselves over to My adversary, who did not find redemption during this period of Salvation and who therefore will have to go through the process of development once more .... I would like to protect everyone from this, I would like to lead them back and let them enter the spheres of the blissful spirits but I cannot let My love work contrary to law .... People must enter the eternal order during the final stage of their development, only then will I be able to accept them again in My kingdom, which they once left of their own free will. This period of development, during which I Myself lived on earth in the human being Jesus, has been extremely beneficial .... All people would have been able to release themselves from My adversary by merely availing themselves of the blessings of My act of Salvation, for My act of Salvation was accomplished for all people past, present and future. And My spirit will also convey this knowledge again to the people on the new earth .... For My immeasurable love wants to help all fallen beings to ascend, and as soon as a person allows himself to be guided by Me, as soon as he merely surrenders his opposition and acknowledges Me Myself in Jesus Christ he will also have started on the path of return to Me, which the man Jesus walked as a good example to him .... And then he will also enter the law of eternal order and the process across the earth will one day be over for him as well, he will step out of his physical cover and pass into My kingdom of light and beatitude ....

Amen

You humans should strive for perfection ....

B.D. 7997 from September 19th 1961, taken from Book No. 84

I have no other goal but to guide you into supreme perfection, because you shall create and work with Me as My children and for this you need to attain perfection, which you should achieve of your own free will. And I will help you to do so as long as you live on earth, where you should pass your test of will, where you should demonstrate that you desire to return to your God and Father, from Whom you once voluntarily separated yourselves. Hence, your free will can let you reach the goal during your earthly life, but it can also cause your standstill or renewed regression into the abyss, and I will never force your will but always allow it full freedom. But I will do everything in My power in order to let you reach perfection on earth. For I love you and yearn for your return, because you emerged from My love. And love always wants to give pleasure, it wants to permeate you, because then you will have abundant strength and use it for your ascent into higher spheres. Yet right now you are living in the last days, that is, a spiritual and earthly turning point will take place, and a limit has been set on your development, many people will be recalled ahead of time .... and you can all only count on living on earth for a little while longer .... And yet, even this short time is still enough for you to attain perfection, if only you seriously strive for it, if you want to fulfil the purpose of your earthly existence and appeal to Me for strength and grace, for support and the strengthening of your will. You can believe that you need only look for Me and I will allow Myself to be found by everyone who seriously tries to find Me .... However, once you have found Me I will truly not let you walk your earthly path alone; I will seize you and firmly hold you by My hand, and I will guide you towards your perfection .... And a tiny spark of My divine spirit has been placed into every person's heart which urges you from within to turn your thoughts into My direction .... But whether you take notice of its urging is up to you, for I do not enforce the direction of your will to Me.

However, I will not stop revealing Myself to you, and thus all happenings in earthly life will affect you such that you will be able to recognise your God and Creator if you have not entirely become enslaved by My adversary who also fights for your soul, because due to your past apostasy from Me you entitled him to do so .... Even so, My love belongs to you, it will never ever change and neither will it let go of you but persistently seek to attract your love in return .... And this love of Mine is so strong that you will voluntarily surrender all resistance if only you open your heart once and let it shine into it. But this has to be achieved by your free will, for although I knock at the door of your heart, you yourselves will have to open the door and allow Me to enter .... But then you will be saved for time and eternity; then your free will turns in My direction and I will take hold of it .... I will never again leave you to My adversary once you have voluntarily handed yourselves over to Me and thus separated yourselves from him .... And this turning to Me can occur at any time, and it will also guarantee you spiritual success during the short time you still have left on this earth. Yet you should believe that there is only a little time left, and you should take My admonitions and warnings seriously and diligently work at improving your soul, for it should still cleanse itself from all impurities in order to be able to enter the kingdom of light and bliss in all clarity and purity when its passing away from this earth has come. The fact that it will not go astray once it has demonstrated its will to belong to Me is certain .... But it has to attain the degree of light on this earth itself, but I will also truly help so that it will achieve it. A complete surrender to Me will also result in My taking complete possession of you, and then strength will flow to you in abundance, which the soul will subsequently use for constant actions of love .... Your soul will purify itself, it will become increasingly more perfect and thus live a life on earth according to My will .... it will be so intimately connected with Me that I will also be able to influence it directly, so that it will be permeated by My spirit and only ever comply with My spirit's urging .... It will hear My voice and as a child let itself be guided by the Father, and thus it will truly reach perfection on earth ....

Amen

Divine revelations in communities ....

B.D. 7998 from September 18th 1961, taken from Book No. 84

All people who earnestly seek Me will find Me .... And this search must start from the heart, the human being must seriously communicate with his God and creator, with the power Which created him; he must acknowledge this power as a being and pray to this being, i.e. speak to Him in spirit and in truth .... This is all I ask of you in order to reveal Myself to you as well. And you can be certain that you will also gain a convinced faith in Me, in the being Who cannot be proven to you but Who nevertheless proves Himself through creation .... through everything you see around you. But you are often inclined to demand unusual proofs of Me .... you want to experience extraordinary things in order to be able to believe. You are not content to look for Me in silence but you want Me to give you signs through which you recognize Me. But then I would force your faith to a certain extent and your faith would be worthless. I require childlike faith from you which grows out of love and which alone is a matter of the heart .... For if the human being seeks Me, if he wants to make contact with the power Which created him, then he feels like a child and seeks his father .... and the father's love reveals itself to him, I address My child and thereby prove My presence to him, and I have now also gained My child's love which now unites us in time and eternity. I can certainly also give you obvious proofs, depending on the degree of your soul, but you cannot mechanically strive for such obvious proofs .... you cannot expect at mass events that all people are of the same degree of maturity, which would be the basic condition of an obvious manifestation of Myself .... What one person or a few feel who establish an intimate bond with Me in their hearts cannot be expected from whole communities whose members have differently matured souls and whose degree of love will also be completely different. Anyone who seriously strives towards Me will also draw Me to himself, for I Myself want unification with you, yet I cannot deviate from the conditions which a union with Me requires. And the first condition is the fulfilment of My commandments of love, which will inevitably also result in the outpouring of My spirit .... But this 'outpouring of the spirit' can take place in many different ways .... but My spirit is always active in the human being, the spiritual spark in the human being is always addressed by the father-spirit of eternity, and the human being will now think right, speak right and want and act right .... He will always live his way of life in My will, he will have the right understanding for spiritual knowledge, he will always carry right thoughts within himself .... My spirit will radiate through him and he will now walk the earth as My child, he will mature in his soul which can now also come to perfection already on earth. Yet all this is a very personal matter which the heart carries out of its own free will, it is a very silent process which takes place between the father and the child .... Yet I can also unusually appear in such silent demonstrations of love by a child with My strength and My light, I can illuminate it with all love-glory, and then the child, overwhelmed by My love, can praise and extol Me because it senses My presence and now cheers for Me .... But this, too, will mostly take place in silence, because these are holy hours when a heart completely gives itself to Me and therefore can also receive My love in all fullness. Believe Me that My spirit pours into every person's heart who believes in Me, who lives in love and who longs for a heartfelt bond with Me .... For love awakens the spiritual spark in you to life, and this spark strives for the bond with the eternal father-spirit .... And once I can work in the human being through My spirit then you will also be born again, you will have emerged from the dead stage, you will have come to life, and you will now also never lose this life again for eternity .... But anyone who does not fulfil these preconditions that allow the working of the spirit in you has not yet found Me either .... or he seeks Me where I cannot be found: He seeks Me in worldly organisations, even though they are church-oriented .... But I want to be called upon in spirit and in truth, and this happens in the quiet chamber where the child is to hold intimate dialogue with the father .... And truly, such a dialogue is pleasing to Me, it proves to Me the right relationship between the child and the father, which you should all establish if you want to become blessed ....

Amen

Mission of the last disciples ....

B.D. 7999 from September 21st 1961, taken from Book No. 84

You, My last disciples of the end times, I address you especially, for you shall help to complete the work .... You should completely surrender yourselves to Me, you should not pay attention to what is going on in the world; you should only pay attention to what you feel in your heart .... you should listen to Me whenever and wherever I speak to you. I have brought you together so that you will become aware of the great task you still have to accomplish before the end. I Myself work with and in each one of you, and each one of you will be allowed to experience Me, and one shall lift himself up by the other, for each one will need spiritual strength which, however, will also flow to him abundantly from Me at all times. And always feel yourselves as pillars of My kingdom, as cornerstones of My church, which I Myself founded on earth. I sent you to earth for the sake of this mission, for I need you in the last days before the end, My spirit must be able to work in you and My will must be proclaimed to people on earth .... they shall be allowed to hear My word in its purest form, and My flow of grace shall be poured out upon people who are of good will. And therefore I need mediators on earth who allow My spirit's working in them .... who have voluntarily offered themselves to Me to administer this mediatorial office. I bless you for this, for earth is not a blissful abode for you who have descended from the kingdom of light in order to serve Me .... But I need strong pillars who resist My adversary, who do not fear him when he takes action against them. I need supporters who are intimately united with Me and therefore are also active on earth out of My strength. And each one of you will fulfil that task to which he has voluntarily offered himself. But you should know that My will sent you to earth and that therefore your ways are also determined by Me, that you always think in accordance with My will and that your actions are also guided by My will. Therefore always trust in My strength which is also powerful in the weak .... For you will be called to account when the final battle of faith breaks out .... But then you will never be alone, nor will you ever need to worry about what you will say, for I Myself will put the words into your mouth, and you truly need not fear the adversary, for I stand by your side and Me he flees .... And because I Myself am present to you, you no longer know earthly fear .... My light in you shines so brightly that a holy peace comes over you and you now also know about your origin and blissfully await the hour when you may return home to Me again, to your father's house. But before that your mission has to be finished, for a time of tribulation will come upon the earth where you can still provide much help if you don't find open resistance. And this help is the supply of My word, the result of My direct address, which is blessed with My strength. I still want to address many people because I know that they will then succumb to My illumination of love, that they will turn to Me and still try to detach themselves from My adversary before the end. And I know about all these possibilities, and I use you wherever a soul is open to My word. And I will also provide you with strength for as long as you shall serve Me on earth .... I will take over your guidance in all earthly matters, I will take your earthly worries upon Myself, and you shall only carelessly hand yourselves over to Me and do what you feel impelled to do, for this is always My will which I place within you and which you will also make your own. For the time is coming to an end .... a short while yet and My arm will intervene and create a tremendous change which will have a spiritual and earthly effect .... But love for My living creations will still do everything beforehand to save them from ruin .... And this love of Mine has also brought you together so that you recognize each other and know about your outcome .... (9/21/1961) You all work out of My strength because love is in you which lets Me Myself be present in you .... And thus My will is also predominant in you who devote yourselves to Me and want to serve Me. Yet your service for Me and My kingdom starts to become extremely difficult, for worldly circumstances will not remain as they are, and then great strength and a strong will is required in order to master all opposition on the part of those who serve My adversary. And one should strengthen himself on the other, for at times weaknesses will also attack you when you see how little your fellow human beings allow themselves to be impressed when they are offered spiritual food .... when you speak to them in My name .... You descended to earth of your own free will in order to assist humanity in greatest spiritual adversity. You are like oases in a spiritual desert and every wanderer will find rest and refreshment for his soul with you. But your fellow human beings are chasing a mirage, and they pass you by except for a few, to whom you can now impart food and drink on My behalf. A pure, clear spring lets the freshest water of life flow out, and everyone may draw from the spring .... no matter where I have opened the spring of life for you. Where My spirit can break through, there the connection with Me is also evident, and there My blessing will also be obvious, because I embrace all with My love who are united with Me in spirit and in truth. And My guidance and direction is truly obvious, nothing happens without My will or My permission. And My love knows your will at all times, which is meant for Me alone. And much blessing will emanate from you because love impels you to your vineyard work .... Love will also ensure success, because love is a strength which never remains without effect. Love will overcome many a resistance and penetrate your fellow human beings' hearts, providing they have not already fallen prey to the adversary, that their will is completely opposed to Me and they are then hostile towards you. Then all effort would be in vain, then turn away from them and go into silence .... and request strength from Me for renewed activity for Me and My kingdom. And in the close bond with Me you will also be shown again and again the path you should take in order to bring salvation to the souls in spiritual adversity. My strength will flow towards you, I will speak to you, your hearts will beat towards Me with love because they are filled with love for Me and for your neighbour .... But you will also very soon realize how little time humanity is still granted, for you, who serve Me, you also know about My plan of salvation from eternity .... you know what lies ahead for earth and humanity, and you also know that the time is fulfilled .... But you also know about My love and that it truly protects you even when the world is threatening you. For I need you, My disciples of the last days, and I will be your constant companion on all your paths, and you will be able to work with Me and My strength ....

Amen

Re-incarnation for special reasons ....

B.D. 8000 from September 23rd 1961, taken from Book No. 84

Every once fallen original spirit must attain perfection of its own free will. And this requires an infinitely long time of development from the deepest abyss to the pinnacle. This process of development needs My constant help, since the entity has no strength whatsoever and is so weak at first that My strength must be of assistance in order to make this higher development possible. I always had to convey sufficient strength to the fallen beings so that they were able to accomplish the task allocated to them .... They had to be able to fulfil a helpful activity, and thus the development of the spiritual substances irrevocably progressed. Time and again I have explained to you the reason why this helpful activity had to be performed and that it required an incredibly long period of time until the fallen original entity was allowed to embody itself as a human being .... However, in this final human stage the original entity has free will, which can achieve the final perfection but also cause a renewed fall into the abyss. Thus free will can strive to achieve the complete release from the form, in which case the human being will also receive the strength to accomplish the work of attaining perfection. Then he will enter into eternity as a fully enlightened spirit, he will come into My kingdom of light and beatitude and continue to progress ever more, because the degree of perfection knows no limitation since the striving for Me will never end and yet is incredibly blissful .... If the human being fails his final test of will on earth, his earthly existence will nevertheless come to an end when his body dies .... he will enter the kingdom of the beyond but not be admitted into the spheres of light. He will remain in darkness or in twilight, depending on the soul's degree of maturity, but always corresponding to the way of life the human being had lived on earth. And thus the soul will have to accept the consequences .... It cannot be granted beatitude because the law of eternal order also demands justice.

Souls which completely lack light usually still move within the spheres of earth, often they are still earthbound, so that they cling to people and try to make them behave according to their will and their attitudes and thereby frequently push the real essence of the person .... his soul .... into the background, thus they take possession of the body and then effectively live a second life on earth without being entitled to it .... and the actual soul of the person is not strong enough to prevail and expel this evil spirit. The person is bothered by afflictions and all kinds of pain caused by the evil spirit until the soul succeeds in establishing a strong bond with Me which then will enable Me to dispel the evil spirit, so that it subsequently will realise that it no longer lives on earth .... To allow such earthbound souls a return to earth again would only result in certain renewed failure, since these souls would return to earth without past memory and yet in possession of free will again .... Hence you humans must never believe in such re-incarnations .... Neither must you believe in the soul's return to earth for the purpose of achieving perfection if it previously failed on earth or had not achieved the degree of perfection required and which it believes it can attain now. Consider that I place an unlimited measure of grace at your disposal .... also consider that I accomplished the act of Salvation for you, that it is possible for every soul to depart from this earth in a redeemed state and that such a soul truly will still be able to ascend in the beyond and become inconceivably happy .... Admittedly, the free will of every soul will also be respected in the spiritual realm and if the soul wants to return to earth its desire will be granted .... But it runs the great risk that it might also descend into the abyss, since in earthly life free will is decisive again. However, a soul which can show only a tiny glimmer of light will recognise the opportunities of achieving maturity in the beyond and will refuse to enter a body of flesh again .... And a completely lightless soul will never be allowed to return to earth, for it first has to provide evidence of its change of mind, and then it will no longer be willing to live on earth.

Nevertheless, during the last days cases of re-incarnation will be allowed, but they happen for special reasons: first of all, beings of light will come to earth for the purpose of a mission because of the immense spiritual adversity .... but their embodiment should not make people believe that every soul will return to earth for the sake of attaining higher maturity .... Yet some souls also exist which .... once a tiny glimmer of realisation dawns on them .... recognise their immense sin they had burdened themselves with during their life on earth .... These are individual cases which require much atonement, which certainly could also be removed in the beyond but which impel these souls to sincerely ask for permission to redeem this guilt on earth .... and which are willing to fulfil a helpful mission at the same time .... But such cases must never be generalised, since this would be a serious deception which can only result in disaster for people. And these souls will also have to endure unusual destinies of suffering which might often make their fellow human beings doubt My love but which have their explanation in the considerable guilt of these souls, which is the real reason of their earthly life. Profound and living faith in Jesus Christ and His act of Salvation guarantees that all guilt has been redeemed through His blood .... But these souls had not found redemption through Jesus Christ in their earthly life and therefore brought it over into the spiritual kingdom. Yet the soul must have achieved a certain degree of light already to be allowed to live on earth again .... it must have found the path to Jesus Christ in the afterlife, it must have appealed for forgiveness of this guilt and then have decided of its own free will to accomplish this act of atonement and have asked for My permission .... otherwise its return to earth will not be granted.

I always say that the doctrine of re-incarnation is a misguided teaching if it is applied to all people who departed from this earth in an imperfect state. And I have always mentioned special reasons which justify such re-incarnation. Not to have accepted or utilised the grace of My love is a repeated sin against My love, and you cannot brush this sin aside as you please with a repeated return to earth .... You have the opportunity to cleanse yourselves from all guilt through Jesus' blood while you live on earth .... And My love for you really will not leave any stone unturned in order to help you attain perfection. And this love should not be rejected by you otherwise you will meet with a painful fate in the beyond, as My justice demands, even if My love for you is greater than great, and even then I will still help you to reach the light one day. For My love can only be effective within the scope of divine order ....

Amen

Directing thoughts into the spiritual realm ....

B.D. 8001 from September 24th 1961, taken from Book No. 84

You are always in the spiritual world when I can speak to you. And therefore only spiritual instructions ever flow to you from this world, you receive spiritual knowledge which surpasses all earthly knowledge, because human intellect cannot acquire such but it is a flow of strength from Me which overflows into you. Yet it is also only ever accepted by the human being who has the desire for spiritual knowledge himself again, because only spirit can ever speak to spirit, whereas the human intellect can remain entirely unimpressed if only it accepts spiritual knowledge. For the time being the intellect has to be switched off, but this does not mean that it cannot and should not deal with it .... But first attention should be paid to the feeling in the human heart before the intellect becomes active. The sharpest intellect will not be able to fathom the spiritual correlations .... but the sharpest intellect will in turn have to acknowledge the profound wisdom of it if the human being has first let his heart speak, i.e. if he lets it do the initial assessment. Thus the human being must first place himself in the spiritual kingdom of his own free will before spiritual knowledge can be imparted to him from there, and this not only applies to the direct recipient of My word but also to those to whom My messengers bring My word .... And precisely this will is rarely present in people, intellectual thinking does not give them full satisfaction, and they do not take the path inwards because their faith is too weak and they do not establish a mental connection with Me .... But I can only ever send them an answer if they ask Me, because only such a question proves to Me the will to be spiritually enlightened. The human being has to consciously separate himself from the earthly world, that is, he has to enter this very kingdom, he has to occupy himself in thought with questions which cannot be answered for him on earth .... And this brief departure from the world will truly be a blessing for him, for I grasp every spiritually directed thought and intervene, prompting him to ask further questions and also answering him mentally as long as he maintains this bond. He need not consciously call upon his God and creator, yet he can ask himself about the meaning and purpose of his life on earth .... And even such thoughts reach into the spiritual kingdom and are also answered from there. But the human being must be serious about attaining enlightenment .... otherwise his questions are not to be evaluated .... for the desire for truth is the first condition for receiving it .... But I am especially pleased with those who follow the slightest suggestion, who again and again desire enlightenment and who again and again take the path to Me, the path into spiritual territory, who don't want to get the knowledge from people which gives them the right enlightenment but go to the source of truth, even if still unconsciously. For even people who don't believe yet can be inwardly filled with the desire for truth, and they will soon be able to believe and consciously take the path to their God and creator. Only one thing is necessary, to turn one's back on the world, that is, to devote oneself to spiritual thoughts in silence, because only then will the spiritual realm be entered .... For My kingdom is not of this world .... But the world is My adversary's kingdom who will never give you truth but tries to impose all truth with error. And you have to look for this silence because you have to use your free will, because I cannot lead you to faith against your will, which has to be acquired by yourselves in order to be able to be judged correctly by Me. And this requires a life of love .... Love is union with Me .... for “he who abides in love abides in Me and I in him ...." And love also finds the path to Me, the loving human being will often let his thoughts wander into the kingdom which is still closed to him but which he unconsciously pushes towards because love seeks to unite with eternal love. The loving person will also be able to believe if he wants to .... But the will is not forced, it must freely decide for Me .... The human being must acknowledge the creator, the greatest spirit of infinity, as the power Which also created him. He must feel connected to this creative power and try to approach it .... And his good will will also secure him a faith which he will never want to relinquish again. And then I Myself can take possession of him, I can have an effect on him through the spirit, and thus I will also be able to address him according to his inner desire .... The spiritual kingdom now no longer releases him, all beings of light strive for his spiritual progress, and I Myself have gained a child which turned to Me of its own free will and will never be abandoned by Me again ....

Amen

God's language through the elements of nature ....

B.D. 8002 from September 25th 1961, taken from Book No. 84

I expect of you, My servants, total commitment to Me and My kingdom, for people's spiritual hardship necessitates it. Only a short time separates you from the very last end, and whatever can be done for the salvation of the souls shall still be done, for the earth will assimilate everything again which had failed as a human being, and this is an appalling fate which I would like to avert from every individual person. But you yourselves make the final decision in free will. I Myself cannot do anything but admonish and warn you by constantly speaking to you, and everyone who supports Me in this respect will be blessed by Me. And thus the near end should always be mentioned and also the fact that prior to it I will clearly express Myself once more through a powerful natural event .... for it will be My last warning when I speak through the elements of nature to people who didn't want to listen to My Word .... This language cannot be ignored, for people will be horrified when they are confronted by an inconceivably extensive natural disaster that will leave no-one unaffected insofar as the news will reach wherever people live, so that every individual can draw his own conclusions, so that every individual can feel personally addressed by it because the same event can also affect his country and even himself .... This is because people will have to fear a repetition and therefore they all have to brace themselves for a sudden demise. Much suffering and misery will still afflict the earth and yet it is only a means I apply due to love in order to save the souls from ruin, from the appalling fate of a new banishment on this earth.

However, the people affected by the natural disaster, the people who fall prey to it, are not cruelly left at the mercy of their destiny .... Due to their prematurely concluded earthly life they will be granted gifts of grace in the beyond .... They will still have the opportunity to ascend further; they will have the opportunity in the beyond to reach the light which they disregarded on earth .... They won't have to fear the new banishment .... unless they are so obstinate that they will descend into the abyss again as true devils, that they are incorrigible and thus would not have changed on earth for the better either had they stayed alive. And even the effect of the natural disaster on people will differ, for again people will turn to Me in their fear and due to their received help also remain loyal to Me, but equally a strong noticeable apostasy from Me will come to the fore because people won't accept a 'God of love' Who allowed such a work of destruction to take place .... since their dark spiritual state cannot find any other explanation for this occurrence. But a clear voice like that has to resound from above, whether it is recognised as My voice or not, for the end is approaching with giant strides, and even though only a few souls will find their way to Me in their distress it will nevertheless be a gain that they no longer have to take the long process through the creations of the earth again but can enter the kingdom of the beyond where they can also achieve progress which would have been doubtful for them on earth .... and in all probability would have led them into the abyss, or they would have endeavoured towards the abyss.

And I have to impart all this to you, My servants. For you should be forearmed, you should learn to look at all happenings around you only from this point of view, and you should completely give yourselves to Me and as My instruments be always active in My will .... You should let go of all earthly thoughts, hand over your every worry to Me .... even the smallest .... you should become completely absorbed in your vineyard work yet always pay attention to My inner instructions. For overzealousness only causes harm, because wisdom promotes success and wisdom will always be conveyed to you if you totally enter into My will, if you are only the executors of My will. And I know that you, My servants, take your task seriously, and therefore you constantly receive these instructions which you feel in your heart as My loving Words and which you therefore will also comply with for the benefit of your fellow human beings. Oh, if people only knew what awaits them .... Yet they don't believe it when it is proclaimed to them through the mouth of My prophets .... and they cannot be compelled into believing. Nevertheless, the day comes ever closer which will cause a complete change of living conditions .... and blessed is he who will call upon Me in extreme adversity, for I will hear him and grant his request, and he will never ever go astray ....

Amen

God's work in the human being who lives in love ....

B.D. 8003 from September 26th 1961, taken from Book No. 84

I want to win the love of My children, I do not want them to surrender to Me out of fear .... I want their hearts to press towards Me because love impels them towards eternal love. And therefore I also want to prove Myself as a loving father Who guides His children through all adversity and Who reveals Himself to them in such a way that love flares up in them, because the child obviously recognizes the father. I want to reveal Myself in My strength .... what seems impossible I want to make possible, because all power is inherent in Me which I truly also use if it does not harm your soul. For you shall also proclaim the power and love of your God and creator, Who proves Himself as father in order to win your love. I know about your will to serve Me and therefore I can also come forward in an unusual way, for I will thereby no longer force your faith, instead, through your will to serve Me you also demonstrate faith, even if it has not yet reached the strength which makes you untouchable for My adversary .... But I Myself will strengthen this faith and thereby make you ever more eager servants, because I need you at a time of great adversity on earth. It is also the order of the day that you are courageous and full of strength, for if you want to openly confess Me to your fellow human beings this also requires a certain physical strength, although I am also powerful in the weak. But people are already too far away from Me because they are no longer able to recognize Me in the hustle and bustle of the world. And you cannot appear confident enough to these people if you want to assert your views, which they initially regard as purely human .... You must be able to appear in such a way that they refrain from any mockery or disrespect, that they listen to you even if they are not of the same mind. I want servants who have strength themselves so that they will be worthy representatives of Me, for the closer the end is the more intensely My adversary will work and the more My counteraction will have to appear, for which I also need powerfully equipped servants. You shall by no means be subject to a compulsion of will, yet the love within you will become ever deeper, and out of this love your strength will also grow and all weakness will fall away from you. And I want to help you achieve this so that My word will come true: “It is I Who work in you, the willing and the doing ...." But Who can only work in you if you have completely given yourselves to Me, if you have become My free will. Therefore do not let yourselves be disturbed by the events in the world .... For nothing can hinder you in your work as long as I need you for the work which has to be done by people .... But everything can stimulate you to also change your fellow human beings' thinking. Therefore I want to inform you that My love will take care of you, no matter what may come .... However, it is certain that the earth will suffer hardship because My plan will be carried out as it was determined from eternity. But I still have great things in store for you, and you shall know them when the time comes. You shall gain a small insight and always experience My loving guidance, yet you shall also feel called by Me to your service .... you shall know that I bless every work you do for Me and My kingdom. What still seems unreal to you will very soon become reality, and My strength will flow to you in such great measure that you will truly be able to fulfil your task and need not fear that you will fail. For to whom I give an office I also give the strength to administer it .... Therefore do not fear the coming time, do not let yourselves be impressed by world events .... only always remain intimately united with Me and you will feel My presence, for I will never ever leave you who have surrendered to Me of your own free will .... And no matter what is done against you, nothing will affect you, for My angels stand protectively by your side who work on My behalf. And My adversary's power is broken as long as you stand in the light of My love and grace. But I Myself will ensure that My light can still shine brightly through you, I will give you My light of love in abundance from eternity, and since you now move in the light yourselves My adversary will also flee you, he will not be able to harass you as long as I am with you, as long as My light of love can shine through you ....

Amen

Right thinking is also working of the mind ....

B.D. 8004 from September 27th 1961, taken from Book No. 84

This, too, is the working of My Spirit, that the human being learns to think right .... Not only does My spirit express itself unusually but every person who awakens it to life within himself will feel an inner brightness, he will think correctly .... And then he will also always recognize the truth as such, he will also know about My will, for his thoughts will be guided by the spiritual spark which seeks contact with the father-spirit of eternity. To bring the spirit within oneself to life only requires a way of life in love .... And thus a person must also attain faith if he lives in love, because his spirit mentally instructs him, because one thing after another becomes comprehensible to him .... But the prerequisite is always that the free will exists to believe .... thus he will always be able to believe if he wants to believe. What is not provable to the human being he usually wants to reject, and yet he has to admit that spiritual knowledge, which also includes faith in Myself, cannot be proven and can nevertheless become a conviction. Yet this will not be achieved by the intellect but by mental instructions which come from above .... thus thoughts which are born in the heart, not in the intellect. The human being should occasionally let himself be guided by his feelings after all, then he will often come closer to the truth than through intellectual activity if he lives a life of love, otherwise his thinking will be influenced by My adversary who will never let him find the truth but will deepen his spiritual darkness ever more. For this reason all people who are willing to love are addressed by Me, for I guide their thinking, and if the pure truth from Me is then brought to them they will willingly accept it and also be able to recognize it as truth. And once I have achieved that they take notice of My word which is conveyed to you humans from above, then there is no longer any danger that these souls will go astray, because then My strength will already be able to take effect, just as every person whose way of life shows love will have escaped this danger. Yet the transmission of My word is intended to mature the soul, which is not possible without the supply of strength .... And since My word is blessed with My strength, even the weakest will to love can be strengthened and the human being can mature while still on earth. He then lives his earthly life consciously. And then he can also gain a convinced faith when he is instructed by Me about Me and My nature and about all correlations, about the human being's right relationship with Me and his task. His inner thinking will then be enlightened and therefore also accept everything; although he then has no evidence either, he has the inner conviction that it is so, and he remains true to this conviction. For once he has found the truth he will not give it up again for the sake of another knowledge. Without love, however, the human being cannot think correctly, and then all lectures, all words of a preacher, no matter how good, are of no use, the truth cannot enter the human being's heart because it is hardened. And the closer the end is, the more hardening of people's hearts is recognizable, for love has grown cold, matter keeps the hearts bound and their thoughts only belong to the world and its goods. They do not desire spiritual goods, and without desire they cannot receive anything. But where a spark of love is still recognizable it shall be stirred up .... My love shall only ever be held up to people and they shall be encouraged to fulfil My commandments of love, the observance of which will earn them incomparable treasures. Love is everything .... the spirit will be awakened to life, people's thinking will be enlightened, and undeniably they will also find faith when they are given the pure truth, which they will no longer deny intellectually either, because at the same time the spirit will express itself from within and illuminate their thinking. And therefore there will still be much adversity on earth in order to stimulate people into loving help, for everyone is certainly capable of love but not everyone is willing to love .... But adversity can touch their hearts, and once they have accomplished a labour of love they will find inner happiness in it themselves and reap reciprocal love which will again work as strength and spur them on to renewed loving activity. Again and again let yourselves be stimulated into loving activity .... believe that there is nothing else to attain eternal life in beatitude than love, which shall fill your heart and which intimately unites you with Me, for: “He who abides in love abides in Me and I in him ...."

Amen

Law and order .... Put back to earth ....

B.D. 8005 from September 28th 1961, taken from Book No. 84

The spiritual substance's ascent has to proceed in a lawful order, and therefore My will will always be decisive as long as the spiritual substance has not yet regained self-awareness, as long as it still walks its course through the creations of this earth. And therefore there is also no relapse during this time, no sinking back from an already reached state of maturity .... Everything goes upwards in its development until it has reached the stage of maturity where it regains free will and also self-awareness, where it covers the last short earthly path as a human being, where it should and can complete itself. But then My will withdraws, then the human being is no longer determined by Me, he is no longer subject to the law of compulsion .... he is completely free in his thinking, willing and acting .... But then there is also the danger that he will sink back, that he will not fulfil his task, which I, however, do not prevent in order not to make the human will unfree. The whole course of pre-evolution was an incessant serving .... All My works of creation have their purpose, one serves the other for existence and maintenance, it is a maturing process which can only be completed through service .... a destiny which is therefore fulfilled in the law of compulsion. But as a human being he should also serve, but voluntarily, out of love .... He will never be forced to love, and thus it is his free will whether he fulfils this earthly task .... But the fate he creates for himself as the end of his earthly life is corresponding when the soul leaves the body and enters the spiritual kingdom. Now free will again determines its further development. The being will never experience regression on My part because My law of order excludes such. But the soul itself can start a decline in free will, and it will not be prevented from doing so. Yet My wisdom and love must also set limits when the being is in danger of completely sinking, when it can no longer use its free will properly, completely devoid of knowledge .... Then it is only merciful love when I prevent such a downfall, when I don't allow My adversary to take possession; then I dissolve the spiritual I-conscious being into countless little particles again and create the possibility of a renewed course of development for it. For it would be incomparable chaos if I wanted to give in to every wrong will and transfer the souls from the beyond to earth again and again; there would also be no guarantee whatsoever for the perfection of such souls, and whether they would also come to earth again and again ..... Truly, divine order would no longer be recognizable, and My adversary would hold a great harvest if My love and wisdom did not work according to the eternal laws, where only ascent is ever favoured from My side but never a descent .... a return to the state which the being has already overcome. This would only be understandable to you humans if you could take a look into the kingdom of the beyond .... into the kingdom where the still earth-bound souls dwell .... if you could follow their thoughts and aspirations, which do not reveal any spiritual striving. You would understand that these souls would come back to earth in their present state .... would not strive for the slightest change in their way of life but would always devote themselves more to matter and thus to My adversary, which could never approve of My love and wisdom and would only result in chaos on earth and there would no longer be any question of an ascent station of development. Love and wisdom will always be decisive for My rule and activity, for My plan of salvation which shall bring about the final return of the once fallen spirits .... which, however, does not exclude that I respect every soul's free will. Yet it must have reached a certain degree of realization in the kingdom of the beyond if I am to give in to free will and allow the soul to return to earth. But believe it, you humans, that only very few may expect this privilege, which then also certainly presupposes profound reasons. Believe that you humans will not desire to repeatedly put on the body of flesh either, for you see the many opportunities offered to you in the spiritual kingdom to mature, and you will eagerly work on yourselves and truly reach ascent if only this is your serious will ....

Amen

God's nature is a mystery ....

B.D. 8006 from September 29th 1961, taken from Book No. 84

My nature is and remains a great mystery for you, for while you live on earth your thinking is limited and incapable of penetrating spiritual depths. But even for the fully enlightened spirit I Am and remain inscrutable although it has already penetrated profound spiritual knowledge and shaped itself into its original nature again, which once originated from Me in My image. But a constant striving towards Me, a constant drawing nearer to Me is part of the beatitude which lasts forever .... And yet I Am unattainable. On the other hand, I Myself illuminate the being and it is filled with inconceivable bliss, so that in union with Me the being is also conscious of My presence. However, were I attainable then the beatitude would reach its limit one day .... but this can never happen, for there is no end to My happiness; the being will always strive towards Me and always find new fulfilment and yet it will never be able to fathom Me .... I Am and remain an eternal mystery for all that which came forth from Me .... but I do not keep away from it because My love is infinite. And because this love of Mine can never stop, My children's happiness can never stop either .... because there is no limitation in perfection, there can never be an end. The being will keep rising towards the light and the light will always shine towards it, yet the light will be and remain unattainable. For I Am the primary source of light and bliss Which is inexhaustible, to Whom all spiritual beings strive and find never-ending bliss to be nourished by this primary source. My nature is and remains unfathomable .... And thus it is also understandable that this nature cannot be personified, that it cannot be visualised as something limited. And so you will also understand why this Being .... the primary source of light .... can not be visible to the created being. For the original fullness of the light would have consumed everything. It was certainly able to give itself in all fullness, yet the being was meant to remain an independent entity, it was to lead an independent life as a spark of light, to which I wanted to give constant happiness. And constant longing and constant fulfilment is part of happiness .... Once the being has reached enlightened heights it will be filled by ever more ardent love which strives towards Eternal Love .... And I return this love again and thus make the being incredibly happy .... Yet that does not signify satisfied yearning, it merely intensifies the longing for Me, Who gives Himself to the being time and time again ....

However, while you are human beings your thinking is limited and you will never be able to grasp such wisdom. Yet even in your imperfection you, too, can establish the connection with Me already and let Me give you happiness: you can pray, you can enter into a dialogue with Me, and the ray of My love can flow into you, if only as a weak flow of strength because you are still imperfect. But even this weak flow of strength will make you happy, and you can increase it yourselves as soon as your love for Me ignites and is fanned to a bright blaze. Then you will already feel a faint yearning in you which I will satisfy, with the result that your longing for My illumination of love will grow ever stronger and will meet with a response depending on your degree of love. You will sense Me, you will become aware of My presence, and yet you will be unable to grasp Me intellectually, because My nature is and will remain an enigma for you. And yet, I reveal Myself to you .... you will be able to recognise Me as a Being Which is love, wisdom and might within Itself. And then you will also love Me progressively more and the act of giving you happiness will take place time and again, for you will never .... once you have enjoyed this bliss .... want to miss it again. The spark which once was emanated by Me as an independent being will constantly strive towards the fiery sea of My love .... And this striving for Me will never come to an end, My love will forever give itself, the vessels will always open themselves and forever accept the ray of My love. And the yearning for Me and its constant fulfilment will provide never-ending beatitude ....

Amen

God's influx of power into infinity ....

B.D. 8007 from September 29th 1961, taken from Book No. 84

The flow of the spirit unstoppably flows into My vessels and will bring many blessings to those who believe in Me ..... For it is strength which flows out of the centre of strength into infinity, which awakens the dead to life wherever it can penetrate, which truly brings life, which heals the sick, which strengthens the weak, which is My breath that permeates everything. And I Myself truly know where My strength is willingly accepted, where it no longer meets with resistance .... And there contact is also established between Me and My living creations, which turn to Me again in self-awareness in order to be illuminated by Me with light and strength. And you should all allow yourselves to be flooded by this spiritual current, and it will prove that you are divine creations which are equipped with all abilities, for whom there is also no limitation to My strength, because they reject everything ungodly from themselves, because they have changed their nature into love .... My spiritual strength can only touch a loving heart, and there the effects of the strength will also be recognizable. But you should also not be anxious if you are unable to physically feel My flow of spirit. The soul receives it and its light becomes ever brighter .... even when the body's strength diminishes, when the time has come for the soul to separate from its bodily shell .... Nevertheless, My strength is also able to have an unusual effect on the body if I deem such an effect beneficial, for truly nothing is impossible for Me. No ray of My love will be lost, and every gift of strength will somehow have an effect, yet always in such a way as My wisdom recognizes to be beneficial for your and your fellow human beings' salvation. But if I can address you humans directly then you consciously accept My flow of strength. You open yourselves and receive invaluable evidence of My love and My strength .... You hear the father's word Who speaks to His child. And countless I-conscious beings switch on to this spiritual current .... Every being that wants to hear Me can hear Me, for I radiate to all of them and guide My flow of strength through the beings of light and also into the realm of spirits in which resistance slowly begins to subside. My word resounds everywhere in infinity and its strength has a life-awakening effect on the still dead beings, but it also makes the beings who live in the light unspeakably happy. For they serve Me again as stations of strength which pass on what they receive, which impart strength and light to those who need it and still lack it. I address them all but I need a tool if I want to convey My word to the people on earth. For they rarely open themselves consciously to My flow of strength of love, and a conscious opening or wanting to receive is the prerequisite for Me to be able to speak to them. And thus I make use of a person who consciously allows himself to be illuminated by Me, and then My flow of spirit can flow in and also be conveyed to all people who merely don't adopt a defensive position but are willing to listen to Me. But I will have achieved much when the influx of My spirit to earth is possible. For the earth is a dark area, it needs a great deal of light, yet no light can be kindled where defence and resistance still prevail, where there is no bond between people and Me. And therefore I had to send beings of light to earth in the last days, who now walk the earth as human beings themselves and who, unconscious of their origin, sought Me and the light, who deeply desired it and therefore also let it shine into their hearts. People would sink hopelessly into darkness, but those who are of good will but need strength to be able to escape the darkness shall still be helped. And thus I am also united with earth, although it is My adversary's kingdom .... Yet where love makes it possible My flow of spirit can flow to earth, and blessed are those who allow themselves to be flooded by it .... blessed who let themselves be illuminated by My love, who open their hearts, who don't oppose Me when My ray of love touches them. They will not fall prey to death, they will come to life which lasts forever .... they will enter My flow of love, they will consciously turn towards Me and detach themselves from My adversary, they will change themselves in their nature to love and perfect themselves while still on this earth .... For where My strength can work there is eternally no more death, there is only life in light and freedom and bliss ....

Amen

Every soul is an original spirit ....

B.D. 8008a from October 1st 1961, taken from Book No. 84

You should pay attention to My voice when it speaks to you .... for My spirit will guide you into truth. If you want to be instructed of the truth then you can only receive it from Me Myself, the Eternal Truth Itself: When I once externalised the beings of My love, every being was a self-aware spirit which had a most intimate relationship with Me and was constantly permeated by My love. The permeation of love placed the being into a state of brightest realisation .... it was illuminated, it recognised Me Myself and everything that surrounded it .... Every being was an immeasurably happy God-like spirit. And yet, for reasons which have been explained to you many times already, countless beings fell away from Me while many others remained with Me .... The former lost their light, whereas the latter kept their immense abundance of light and did not follow My adversary .... the first fallen original spirit .... into the abyss. And with these remaining original spirits I create and work in infinity .... But you humans are also aware of the fact that I set Myself the goal for the deification of all created spiritual beings and that this deification has to be accomplished by the being's own free will ....You know why the beings had once fallen, and you also received the information of My eternal plan of Salvation which pursues the return of all fallen spirits and which will certainly be achieved one day. You are aware of the fact that childship to God is the highest goal and that, according to My plan of eternity, all beings, which live on earth as humans, are able to achieve childship to God .... if their free will seriously strives for it .... Then every once fallen being will have attained the highest degree of bliss, it will have become My image, it will be able to create and work entirely of its own free will and, yet, it will be completely the same as My will, it will no longer be determined by Me yet My child will have completely acquired My will and will therefore be inconceivably happy .... And this exceedingly high degree of bliss is also desired by My remaining spiritual beings, for although they are in direct contact with Me, although they are constantly permeated by My strength of love they are still created beings according to My will which cannot but think and act according to My will, which are more or less only ever implementers of My will. Making this difference clear to you humans requires a high degree of maturity which you do not possess as yet, so in view of your limited thinking I can only explain to you such things which your intellect is able to grasp, precisely because you lost this profound realisation about all correlations in the spiritual kingdom as a result of your fall into the abyss and have not yet attained the final realisation on earth. Nevertheless, it suffices you to know that the beings which remained with Me will also take the path across Earth one day in order to attain childship to God, which will immeasurably augment their beatitude.

This path across earth therefore requires a life in the flesh, the existence as a human being, just like the once fallen spiritual beings must do in order to pass their test of will. Consequently, a spirit of light wishing to embody itself on earth will also choose an earthly body for its abode whose spiritual substances have already attained a certain degree of maturity so that a spirit of light can occupy it, that it will animate the dead external form .... the human body .... and start its path across Earth in it. This spirit of light is therefore the spiritual strength which has to flow into a human body, which is born into the world as a human being and which can only 'live' when this spiritual strength .... the soul .... the divine breath .... is breathed into this external form by My all embracing Fatherly love, Which has set Itself the goal of deifying all Its created beings into children. So this angel-spirit animates the human being as a soul, and since the body's substances, although more clarified than those of most people, are still immature, since they, in My adversary's world, are also exposed to his influences .... and since the angel-spirit has to fulfil a spiritual task on earth as well and is also usually unaware of its origin .... the soul .... its real Self .... must resist all temptations which confront it from outside. It must fight against all instincts which still adhere to the body, because the latter had passed through all works of creation, and as a human must often travel an extremely difficult path of life during which his free will must not fail, where he will always have to take refuge in Me as his Father so as not to lose the strength he needs on earth. For as an angel-spirit he had voluntarily given up his abundance of light and strength when he started the process across earth. Nevertheless, the bond with Me is very strong because such a person is permeated by unusually ardent love which is the most reliable guarantee that he will reach his goal on earth, that he will return to Me as 'My child' because this was his greatest desire while he was in My kingdom .... Hence every spirit of light will always go through the same process, it will always, as a 'soul', enter an earthly material form which will exert a more or less strong influence due to its multifarious composition and which will present many tasks to the soul, for this external form will always have passed through earthly matter .... unless, due to previous unusual influences having clarified its substances already, it can very quickly follow the requirements of My divine spiritual spark which, in the embodied beings of light glows especially brightly and can achieve a complete spiritualisation of all substances faster ....

And so the soul of Jesus was also a most elevated spirit of light .... He, too, entered an earthly material external form and gave life to this form when He, as a soul, took possession of the external cover, when He was born on earth. The vessel which gave birth to Him was pure and immaculate, His conception was not a low act of the senses .... even so, his body was the same as every other human body because He was meant to accomplish the work of spiritualisation as an example which should and can be emulated by all people. His soul, even though it came from above, was also harassed by immature spirits which He was not allowed to shake off but which, by virtue of His love, He had to spiritualise as well, which required tremendous work on Himself and such work must likewise be carried out by every angel-spirit in earthly life, because the process through the 'abyss' also means the conquering of everything that belongs to the abyss and afflicts these people .... Their great love, however, accomplishes this work with perseverance and patience. And usually they succeed in spiritualising body and soul .... that is, to also redeem the still unspiritual substances which join the soul, to establish complete order in themselves while at the same time fulfilling an exalted mission they voluntarily offered to do ....

Every soul is an original spirit ....

B.D. 8008b from October 2nd 1961, taken from Book No. 84

Every substance, every spiritual being which once emerged from My love, is emanated strength .... In their fundamental element they are the same as Me Myself, they are made of the strength of My love .... The fallen spirits were dissolved into countless tiny particles for the purpose of being led back to Me; the once emanated strength was reshaped into all kinds of creations, for the strength had to become active again somehow because this is the law of eternity. But these dissolved tiny particles gathered again, and every once fallen original spirit receives its self-awareness back as soon as it lives on earth as a human being, as soon as it starts the final stage of the infinitely long process of development before it enters the spiritual realm once more. Hence this gathered spiritual substance animates a human being's external form .... The soul itself is therefore the once-fallen original spirit, it is the self-aware being which once originated from Me in an abundance of light and voluntarily fell away from Me and which My adversary .... the first-fallen spirit of light .... pulled into the abyss. The host of originally created spirits was innumerable and the number of beings which remained with Me was also inconceivably great .... Yet they, too, were basically the same: emanated strength of love from Me. If therefore a spirit of light, an angel-being, takes the path across the earth for the purpose of attaining childship to God, it enters the same situation as every fallen spirit .... It enters a cover of flesh which consists of more or less tiny matured spiritual particles, for the flesh belongs to this earth .... The body can certainly be more clarified and shelter fewer substances opposed to Me but it is always earthly material substance which is, after all, the reason why all earthly progress becomes a difficult trial or test of will for the soul inhabiting a body of flesh ....

For challenges need to be present, even a soul of light must experience battles of the flesh which My adversary will initiate, time and again, by using an external cover in order to attack the soul in every way. And thus, even a soul of light will be subject to severe temptations, since the earthly body is in My adversary's realm and he will especially provoke a soul of light in order to make it fall, since he had not succeeded in the past. Yet such a soul's exceptionally strong willingness to love also assures it a constant flow of strength from above, for it will not renounce its bond with Me, it is powerfully drawn to Me and this yearning of love is a formidable weapon in the battle with the adversary, from which it will certainly emerge victoriously .... However, you must not think that a spirit of light .... a non-fallen spirit .... will join a fallen spirit in order to take the path across earth together .... Every soul is an original spirit, whether fallen or not .... The fallen original spirit goes through the process of development dissolved in countless substances until it is permitted to embody itself as a human being, until it therefore enters a human external shape as a 'soul' .... The non-fallen spirit does not need to be dissolved; instead, it enters a human cover as a soul from above .... just like those beings of light which attained a high degree of light in the kingdom of the beyond and, for the sake of a mission, want to repeat the path on earth with the goal of attaining childship to God .... Such souls directly embody themselves in the flesh .... My once emanated strength flows as a 'breath of life' into the external human form and gives life to this form .... You humans should always remember that everything which was once 'created' by Me is My emanated strength of love which, as a result of My will, became self-aware beings which can never perish. But I can also reshape this strength, I can dissolve these beings and let other creations arise if I thereby pursue a purpose which is based on My love and wisdom .... However, I can also clothe such a self-aware being with the cover of a human being if My love and wisdom thereby hopes to achieve a purpose .... And every soul, which ought to be regarded as a human being's real life, is an original spirit .... to whom My infinite love offers the opportunity of attaining childship to God on earth, which every created being must strive for and accomplish itself ....

Amen

Falsification of the divine Word ....

B.D. 8009 from October 3rd 1961, taken from Book No. 84

Only that which demonstrates love, wisdom and might originates from Me. You can always use this as a yardstick when you check whether spiritual knowledge is of divine origin or whether people are its source. If you recognise a lack of love or of wisdom .... or if My power is portrayed as being doubtful you will be offered spiritual knowledge which did not come forth from Me. But even this examination will be difficult for you if My spirit does not grant you assistance. And this assistance needs to be requested by you first, for your intellect alone is unable to make a correct judgment. However, anyone who seriously desires the truth will indeed receive it from Me. And you can always be certain of the fact that I know your every thought and reveal Myself to you in My love, wisdom and might .... For you are the vessels into which I can pour My spirit, so that light will be brought to people which shall illuminate the darkness. You don't know how the adversary works in the end time, you don't know what he is capable of doing in order to extinguish the light from the heavens, in order to invalidate My activity, in order to falsify the pure truth which originated from Me .... However, I will never stop a human being's will if he changes the Word I send to earth from above and in so doing is of service to My adversary. You don't know the cunning and trickery My adversary uses when it concerns undermining the truth .... And even though I protect My vessels from his influence I can and will nevertheless not prevent it if a person's free will unjustifiably assumes the right to implement changes, otherwise the pure truth would already be spread across the whole earth. The human being's free will must be respected, and this free will explains much ....

People are imperfect, and if they are offered something perfect, if the pure truth from Me is conveyed to them, then it will not remain as pure as it originated from Me for long, for the human intellect becomes active and this can still be influenced by My adversary .... especially if a person strives for worldly advantages. I won't stop him, but I will see to it that the pure truth is conveyed time and again .... I will grant a new light to those who desire to be enlightened. For they shall not be the victims of a wrongly inclined will, which is always demonstrated by the alteration of My pure Word. The same spirit has always poured into My vessels, and My adversary was unable to cause havoc in them, but time after time he finds people who submit to his will, and then the work of contamination will already have succeeded .... My pure living water has been mixed with human additions and has no more healing power .... For that which originates from the adversary has a negative effect, it cannot be a blessing nor beneficial for the human being's salvation of soul. And if I therefore convey the pure truth to earth time and again, if I always open a source again from which pure living water flows forth, then only because I know that it is necessary to correct emerging misguided teachings .... I know that genuinely seeking people take offence at such teachings and I want to enlighten them, for My light shall not be offered in a clouded way but shall brightly shine into people's hearts and tell them of My love, wisdom and might .... People shall learn to recognise and love Me, and this is only possible through conveying the pure truth. I Myself speak to people and you can truly believe My Words .... I grant you My Word but I also expect that it will affect your heart, that you comply with it and that you thereby attain an inner life. Only then will your spirit be enlightened, and then you will also ask Me questions which I will gladly answer. For the confusion will grow increasingly larger, and My adversary will succeed ever more in weakening My activity .... Yet people themselves are the crucial factor for that .... Anyone who tries to find Me and therefore genuinely tries to find the truth as well will find and recognise it as such. But it can only be imparted to you through the working of My spirit, because your human intellect is incapable of differentiating between truth and error. Yet truth exists and this comes forth from Me .... And anyone who appeals to Me directly for it will also truly receive it. For I know that only through the truth can you humans become blissfully happy, and I know that every misguided teaching is poison for your souls .... And therefore the pure and unadulterated truth will time and again be conveyed to you from above because it is My will that you shall attain bliss ....

Amen

Cognition .... Light of love .... Revelation ....

B.D. 8010 from October 3rd 1961, taken from Book No. 84

An incomparable light shines down to earth when My address sounds to you. And this light will not lose its brilliance, it will penetrate the darkness and create clarity everywhere. From Me this luminosity will remain undiminished, for My word brings brightest knowledge to those people who accept it. And if My bearers of light pass it on unimpaired, knowledge can be conveyed to people which provides complete information about things the human intellect is unable to explain (fathom?). But at the same time people must live a life of love, otherwise their hearts will not be receptive to such knowledge and then everything will only be dead words to them, with which they know nothing. But the very possibility of being able to attain realization with good will is such a great gift of grace for you humans which should only ever prove My great love to you. And this love of Mine is unchanging. Your state of imperfection takes Me as the most perfect being and I want to lead you to perfection in order to make you blissfully happy. Your wretched state consists in a darkening of your spirit, in a total ignorance of your destiny .... You have certainly caused this state yourselves because you voluntarily rejected the light of love which continued to shine upon you .... But My love for you has not diminished, for you are products of My love, you emerged from My love and will eternally remain creatures of My love, even if you keep yourselves distant from Me. Yet the love which applies to you for all eternity also wants to reveal itself to you in order to also win your love, in order to induce you to return, which then secures an immeasurably blissful fate for you again. And therefore My love seeks to repeatedly kindle a light for you in whose bright glow you can gain a small realization of your actual destiny again. Such a divine ray of love is My word which sounds to you from above and which can prompt you to seek contact with your God and creator, your father of eternity, again .... And all people shall have the opportunity to join the flow of love-light, yet they must not resist Me, they must voluntarily listen to Me when I speak to them, and they must take My divine words of love to heart .... And truly, the dark spiritual state will depart from them .... they will slowly realize that earthly life is not an end in itself but a means to an end .... They will not only receive light but also strength and thus be able to live out My word, to fulfil My will which is made known to them through My word. And they will learn to love Me .... And this alone is My purpose through the transmission of My word from above, that they learn to recognize Me and My nature, which is exceedingly perfect, and that they then show Me the love they once denied Me .... For My love will never ever abandon the creations which voluntarily separated themselves from Me. My love will constantly pursue them, and My love will constantly woo My living creations' love. And again and again I will prepare hearts for Myself into which I can let My light of love shine, which serve Me as bearers of light, which carry the light everywhere into the darkness and illuminate people's path which leads to Me, to their father of eternity. And no matter whether My adversary tries again and again to extinguish My light or to dim it .... brightly shining the sun of My spirit will break through again and again .... again and again My word will resound from on high and people will be allowed to take note of the truth .... and again and again the eternal truth will reveal Itself .... for light alone is bliss .... And a bright light will always be given to you through My word, which is a revelation of Him Who loves you and Who also wants to win your love ....

Amen

Address to vineyard workers ....

B.D. 8011 from October 4th 1961, taken from Book No. 84

I am always with you with My blessing if you want to serve Me. And again and again I tell you that your service consists of spreading the truth, for humanity lacks this, their thinking is confused, they don't recognize anything and finally the actual purpose of earthly life. People don't know much even though they belong to ecclesiastical organisations, for even the teachers are without much knowledge; they have only taken on spiritual knowledge which was passed on to them as tradition and mostly didn't think about whether this spiritual knowledge also corresponds to the truth. And as soon as it deviates from the truth people also deviate from Me Myself .... For I and the truth are one. Their knowledge of their God and creator is inadequate and mostly just dead knowledge, there is no conviction in them, they just don't dare openly contradict it because they don't want to be considered ungodly. Occasionally they may think about the power Which also created them .... but they don't seriously request to be instructed about it and therefore can only rarely be taught. And even more often people are completely without faith because they allegedly lack the evidence for a powerful Deity Which is love and wisdom in Itself. But if they are to attain a true faith then the truth has to be presented to them, for error leads them even further away from Me. Therefore it is urgently necessary that the pure truth is conveyed to them, although they can also reject it if their will is too weak or still opposed to Me. And people also have to be approached differently, they have to be given that spiritual knowledge they are open to .... And I alone know this, I know all souls, I know their will, their state of maturity and the paths which lead to them .... I now direct the pure truth down to earth, I pour out My spirit into an opened vessel .... I address people through a suitable instrument which serves Me as a mouthpiece, which receives My address and now has an extensive spiritual material which My fatherly love wants to turn to people in order to bring them the truth .... And this requires diligent vineyard work for Me, the seed shall be scattered in uncultivated land, a delicious seed shall be supplied to human hearts .... My word shall be carried everywhere, and I will bless everyone who makes himself available to Me as My servant for this work, who carries My word out into the world, who proclaims the gospel as My disciple in the last days, which is offered to him in purest form by Me Myself from above. The truth must find its way into people's hearts so that the few who are of good will and felt an inner resistance towards spiritual knowledge which did not originate from Me will still find their way to Me .... so that the few can believe who want to believe, who let their heart and intellect become active and only believe they can accept what the intellect can also affirm if the heart feels addressed at the same time .... The intellect alone will never get behind the truth; but I address the heart because I know it and will offer everyone what he needs in order to now also recognize Me Myself .... And thus you, My faithful servants, will always be led to those who are willing to open their hearts to the truth; you will be inwardly driven to proclaim My gospel, and this inward urging you shall yield to .... you should let yourselves be guided and only ever be willing to be active in My will. For people can still be won through the pure truth, the pure truth awakens and enlivens human hearts .... Then I can address each one Myself, and I truly know what kind of food each individual needs and also distribute this food through you. And therefore do not think, My servants on earth, that you are doing vain work. Just make your prayers entirely your own, let yourselves be guided and speak when you feel the urge to do so .... And know that you will not walk in vain as long as you entrust yourselves to Me, as long as you are willing to serve Me. For I need your services, because as a human being you find access to those whom I cannot address directly but who also require the strength of My word if the word is to take effect on them. The pure truth must be spread, for only I Myself can offer it to you. And therefore you should value My word as the highest gift of grace and carry it out into the world .... you shall work on earth as My last disciples who only ever fulfil My mission and are tirelessly active in My vineyard.

Amen

Further explanation regarding the soul ....

B.D. 8012 from October 5th 1961, taken from Book No. 84

It is necessary to clarify the concept of the 'soul' so that you do not live in error: Everything you see around yourselves is spiritual strength .... which was once emanated by Me as beings which were dissolved when they did not use the strength of love, which flowed to them ceaselessly, in accordance with My will. For this strength must become active according to the law of eternal order. Thus I reshaped this strength of love, once emanated as 'beings', into works of creation which perform a serving function. And so all of creation which surrounds you is basically the strength which was externalised by Me as independent beings. And regardless of how solidified the spiritual strength is that became matter .... they are all sparks of light and love which emanated from Me, My will merely gave them a shape according to My love and wisdom .... However, this spiritual substance can no longer cease to exist, My once emanated strength will inevitably return to Me again .... Yet the degree of maturity of everything around you varies considerably, because the meaning and purpose of creation is to bring the spiritual substance to full maturity since, as a result of its fall into the abyss, it had completely reversed its nature and, by means of this process of probation, this purification process through the whole of creation, shall deify itself again, thus become an independent being once more, which will work in light and strength and freedom for its own happiness. Sooner or later all tiny particles of a dissolved original spirit will gather again .... and this will then live on earth in the external shape of a human being in order to achieve its final perfection of its own free will. Hence this soul is My once emanated strength of love, yet all of its substances still need purification .... Nevertheless, it is a spiritual substance, for everything you see is spiritual strength, even if it is consolidated as matter as a result of My will .... The spiritual essence which now animates the human being as a 'soul' has certainly reached a certain degree of maturity already, or it would not be permitted to embody itself as a human being; however, one cannot speak of a 'perfect' soul, because it travelled through Lucifer's realm and its thoughts and intentions are still satanically inclined. But it is the once fallen original spirit which, through earthly progress, can entirely release itself from all unspiritual influences, which can freely want and act and therefore also has the opportunity to achieve final perfection on earth and to enter the kingdom of the beyond as a radiant spirit of light again when it has to leave the earthly body. Hence the soul is something invisible to the human eye which is everlasting, which continues to exist for all eternity, whilst matter .... every external form that is visible to the eye .... is transient but will also only be disintegrated by My will in order to release the spiritual substance concealed therein ....

So the visible creation is likewise a spiritual substance which was once externalised as beings, it merely goes through these creations in a disintegrated state, yet one day it will be mature enough so that the fallen original spirit will be permitted to embody itself as a soul in a human being. Although the soul has the shape of a human it is, however, only visible to the spiritual eye, that is, only a certain degree of maturity enables another soul to see the former, just as the beings in the spiritual kingdom were once able to recognise and communicate with each other, but only because they possessed spiritual vision, which the human being or soul which departed from earth in an immature state does not possess. Thus the soul is not a substantial form anymore, if 'substance' is to be understood as something material, visible .... It is a spiritual form, it is My emanated strength which gives life to a dead form .... the human body. Even so, the soul can think, feel and want, which the body itself cannot do once the actual life, the soul, is missing .... The human organs certainly perform their functions, yet always driven by or animated by the soul, the real Self, which determines the activity of all these functions. This is why the whole responsibility for the existence on earth rests on the soul, never on the body .... but it would always think and act wrongly had I not provided it with the spiritual spark as My share, which subsequently tries to influence the soul to subordinate itself to its urging and which always wants to advise it according to My will yet never forcibly influence the soul. It is entirely up to the soul to submit itself to the desire of the spirit or to the body's wishes; this is the actual test of earthly life the soul will have to pass in order to be able to enter the spiritual kingdom in a perfect state. You humans must get used to the idea that this very 'fallen spirit' is your real Self .... But that this original spirit at the beginning of its embodiment as a human being is still very impure, for it lives in Lucifer's realm, it travelled through all creations in which everything satanic is bound. And the human external frame is matter too, thus a spiritual substance that is still in the process of development .... For the final perfection shall only take place during earthly life but it can be attained, because the act of Salvation was accomplished by Jesus Christ, My first begotten Son, Whom I sent to Earth in order to redeem the immense original sin which denied all fallen beings entry into the kingdom of light ....

The soul of the man called Jesus was therefore a soul of light which, for the purpose of a mission, descended into the realm of darkness .... A soul of light embodied itself in a cover of flesh, in the body of a temporal human which was just like any other human. Although the soul of light prepared this shell first, for it had to be a pure vessel, because I Myself wanted to take abode in Jesus, the man. Nevertheless, the body of flesh consisted of earthly material substances, because Jesus the human being had to accomplish an act of deification on Himself which was to serve other people as an example .... which therefore all people will have to accomplish in order to perfect themselves.

Moreover, Jesus' soul, a profoundly pure soul of light, found itself in dark surroundings; it descended into Lucifer's realm and was subsequently exposed to all onslaughts on him. However, Jesus' soul was not a fallen spirit. But since it had to travel through the abyss it was unable to resist everything unspiritual which badly besieged it on Lucifer's instructions. Jesus' soul was light in all its fullness .... Yet when it descended into the abyss it left the light behind since it would irrevocably have consumed the people in darkness. Jesus therefore only entered His physical shell to a limited extent, He did not let His light of love shine yet love was in Him, He did not deprive Himself of love and this love intimately united Him with Me, His Father of eternity. Thus Jesus' soul consisted of spirit made of My spirit, it, too, was emanated by Me as light of love and did not surrender it either when it came into the world. But then My adversary's influence started, who wanted to prevent Jesus' act of Salvation and also sought to draw Jesus' soul down into the darkness. By virtue of the enormous light of love Jesus could easily have resisted his every onslaught but this would have put the following of Jesus into jeopardy, he would never have exemplified, as a 'human being', the life His fellow human beings should live in order to release themselves from My adversary, instead, divine strength alone would have accomplished something which would never have been possible for any human being. This is why a soul of light consciously took up the battle against My adversary by offering him every target .... He challenged him deliberately and that meant, at the same time, not fighting the demons when they tried to take possession of His soul .... He did not defeat them by virtue of His power but by virtue of His love, that is, He pacified them, He brought redemption to them, for His love was greater than great and, during His earthly life as a human being, it grew into a sea of flames .... He accepted Me Myself as the Eternal love in Him .... He did not yield to the adversary's temptations but overcame every challenge, every desire by these demons with boundless patience and mercy in order to help these unredeemed spirits and to place them into a state that they could adapt to His soul .... And love accomplished the work that all still unredeemed physical substances adapted to His soul, that soul and body radiated in supreme abundance of light and united with Me, the eternal light of Love ....

And this very same process happens when a most elevated spirit of light .... an angel-spirit .... wants to take the path through the abyss in order to attain childship to God, in order to voluntarily become a supremely perfect spirit which can create in and with Me in free will .... In that case, the spirit will always limit its abundance of light and strength, because it would burst the human body, which is not a pure spiritual body as yet .... Thus the spirit of light takes on the shape of the human body and yet remains a spiritual body .... And this spiritually 'limited' form is the soul which animates the otherwise dead body of flesh in the first place .... When this soul leaves the body of flesh again it will no longer be restricted and will be a free spirit again, full of light and strength .... but it does not exclude the possibility that this spirit had once taken the path through the abyss as a human soul .... But such a spirit will also have extraordinary spiritual abilities at its disposal in earthly life, for although it is exposed to the most severe temptations on the part of My adversary it will never completely lose its connection with Me, and the strength of its love will also ensure that it will emerge as the victor. For what My adversary failed to achieve when he caused the apostasy of the great host of originally created spirits from Me, he will not achieve now either .... And yet, a light spirit's life on earth will always be a particularly difficult one until it has quite openly passed the important test of will which turned it into My child that will forever be united with Me, with its Father, and then enjoy unlimited beatitudes ....

Amen

God's revelations through His address ....

B.D. 8013 from October 6th 1961, taken from Book No. 84

Anyone who carries Me in his heart is united with Me in time and eternity, and I can reveal Myself to him .... And I will always tell him what he needs to know so that he himself will mature in his soul and also be able to lead his fellow human beings on the path to Me, from Whom you all took your origin. And therefore My revelations are a gift of grace of immeasurable value, for you humans would not find your way to Me if My voice did not call to you, if I could not speak to you and convey My word to you, which is the connection between Me and you. Due to your past apostasy from Me you yourselves had forfeited the grace to hear My voice; you closed your ears and thus I could no longer influence you through My loving address. And you are also mostly in a certain defensive position except for a few who have sought contact with Me again of their own free will and to whom I can therefore reveal Myself through My word .... But even you humans, who have not yet established this connection, I want to give you My gift of grace because you need strength for your pilgrimage on earth and you can receive this strength from My word .... Only My great love for you justifies that I address you although you are still distant from Me, but My great love seeks to achieve that you voluntarily approach Me .... that you change your will, that you find your way back to Me; and therefore I address you. In the last days everyone could indeed hear and recognize Me, for I also speak other languages; I reveal Myself in the most diverse fates; I influence people's lives so differently that everyone could recognize Me .... For people who are still in the midst of the world are not yet accessible to My spoken word. And yet, the time will also come for these people when I will be able to approach them in the word, for I will truly still try everything to save the souls from the end. No human being is indifferent to Me, yet every person's will is free. And this is decisive as to whether My word touches him, whether he accepts it or rejects it. A gift of grace which My love offers you cannot be without effect. But if it is openly opposed then I will never have a compelling effect on a person .... Yet My word itself will judge him if he rejects it, for then he will also have rejected Me Myself again, Who is the word of eternity. And if you humans now learn through My word that you are close to the end, then this is also an act of grace by Me so that you will not experience the end unprepared .... Whether you believe My announcement or not, you will nevertheless not be able to get rid of thoughts of a possible end, and every such thought is a silent reminder to you to judge yourselves as to whether you will be able to stand before My eyes when the hour of your demise has suddenly come. Let your hearts be touched by such thoughts, don't chase them away, for they can become the greatest blessing for you for eternity. For you are not the originators of these thoughts yourselves, they are sent to you from the spiritual kingdom by My messengers of light and love who look after you and only ever take care of your spiritual well-being. For no human being is left to his own fate, everyone is looked after and quietly urged onto the right path .... Yet your free will must be respected, otherwise your transformation would truly be easy to achieve. Yet I will always stand by you and try to bring you salvation through My word, no matter in which way this word is spoken .... But if My word is brought to you then accept it with an open heart, for then you will be addressed by your father Himself, Who loves all His living creations and wants to receive them again as children in the father's house ....

Amen

Renewed reference to the natural event ....

B.D. 8014 from October 8th 1961, taken from Book No. 84

Once again I want to inform you through the voice of the spirit that you are approaching an event with inconceivable consequences .... that humanity will experience something the extent of which has never before happened since the beginning of this period of Salvation .... For I want to shake people out of their dream state; I want them to take stock of themselves and this is only possible through a natural event of such enormous proportions that no-one will be able to remain unaffected by the great tragedy which this event will mean for humanity. The whole world will sympathise with it and people everywhere will fear that the same event might happen to them, for no previous signs existed to anticipate an event such as this, and therefore there will be great unrest amongst humankind. And it will also be very obvious to all people that this event was not caused by human will .... they will know that it was caused by a power they cannot fight; they will realise that natural elements had burst through, to which people are hopelessly exposed. And that is My intention, for as long as people always hold other people to account for that which happens in the world, nobody will take a look at himself .... But it is My will that they shall find the path to Me, and since people's low spiritual level has already sunk to the point that they also deny My existence .... since belief in Me has fallen to a minimum, I must use the last means in order to give evidence of Myself, although even then every individual person can still make up his own mind according to his will. For he will not be forced to believe, he can also give himself any other explanation, and that is to be expected. Once again only a few will understand Me and My voice and be receptive to it, they will call upon Me in greatest adversity and, truly, I will miraculously rush to their aid because I want to win them over to testify to Me, they shall be living advocates of Me when the time has come. I must use quite unusual methods because people are already so insensitive that even the most appalling occurrences mean almost nothing to them anymore .... they receive such news with their ears only to forget about them again in a short time because it hasn't happened to them personally. And thus an event will have to occur which will frighten all people because they won't know whether it will repeat itself, whether there will have been only partial destruction or whether the whole earth will finally have been affected .... They must be placed into this state of fear for people are only interested in their own destiny, and therefore they shall be anxious ....

And then there will be a possibility that people will find and take the path to Me, and every single person can consider himself fortunate if he had already established contact with Me or is establishing it .... who prays to Me in spirit and in truth. Time and again I say to you that you will be saved from ruin, from a renewed banishment into matter, if you have found Me, even if your degree of maturity is still very low. You will be able to enter the kingdom of light, you can keep ascending in the beyond and no longer need to fear darkness .... For as soon as you find Me you will also have recognised Jesus Christ and His act of Salvation and use the blessings of the act of Salvation: you appeal to Him for forgiveness of your guilt and thus enter the kingdom of the beyond in a redeemed state .... or you accept the help of the guides in the beyond without opposition, who will escort you to the divine Redeemer .... But this always means that you must acknowledge Me Myself during your life on earth, that you accept Me of your own free will, which is proven by every heartfelt prayer to Me. This is why overwhelming adversity will befall the human race, so that this call, which decides your fate in eternity, can come through to Me. You must believe in Me as your God and Creator Who wants to be your Father, hence you must also call upon Me like children to their father. But then you really need not be afraid anymore regardless of what happens to you, for then you will experience My very obvious protection, for the time afterwards will be the final short reprieve during which everyone will be able to work for Me. Then he must be able to stand up for Me with conviction and that is what he will do, because he was allowed to experience Me so evidently that he will remain loyally devoted to Me until the end ....

Amen

Comforting address to the sick and weak ....

B.D. 8015 from October 10th 1961, taken from Book No. 84

I am truly powerful even in the weak. For My spirit can work in every person and manifest Me and My presence. Hence you need not fear any physical weaknesses as long as you are in close contact with Me, for the spirit is independent of the body but it can also radiate through the body and make it capable of unusual activity, and then My direct activity in the human being will be evident. I now demand spiritual activity from you, My servants on earth, for even if you have to be earthly active your work nevertheless consists of giving spiritual nourishment; you don't pass on earthly goods but your free will shall help spread spiritual knowledge which comes to you directly from above. And whoever I have chosen for such a mission need truly not fear having to do without the strength necessary for his activity .... And no matter how weak the body feels, the spirit can work in it all the stronger the less resistance it faces on the part of the body. But again and again the human being will have to prove his free will anew to be active for Me and My kingdom. And this is what physical weaknesses often aim at, that the human being testifies to his love for Me, which I will truly reward him for. For My might is great and nothing is truly impossible for Me .... Thus I can and will also prove Myself when the time comes, and you will be allowed to experience My might and glory .... The spirit of the world has poisoned people who now suffer damage to their souls, for they have no bond whatsoever with Me and their souls go completely empty-handed because people only think of their bodies, because they only strive for earthly goods and earthly pleasures and thus their earthly life is an idle one. Would you, My servants on earth, want to change places with them? .... Patiently take all suffering upon yourselves, always carry your cross in view of your soul's state of maturity, which only has a plus to record if the body helps it to purify itself through illness and suffering .... But also know that I provide you with strength as long as you are to serve Me .... And your services to humanity are necessary, even if only a few people are still successful. I alone know what you are capable of achieving, and I also want you to completely dedicate yourselves to Me .... I know which work alone is important and I only want you to do this work .... Therefore, don't believe that something approaches you arbitrarily but that everything is arranged, wanted or permitted by Me as I deem it favourable for your mission, for you and your fellow human beings' salvation. And don't be afraid but believe .... and sincerely unite with your father, Who loves you and wants to win you for Himself forever .....

Amen

Jesus Christ and His work of redemption ....

B.D. 8016 from October 11th 1961, taken from Book No. 84

Without Jesus Christ you cannot be saved .... For it concerns the redemption of the original sin which you cannot pay off yourselves, neither on earth nor in the kingdom of the beyond .... It is about the redemption of the great guilt of your former apostasy from Me, for which the man Jesus gave His life on the cross. Since you once stood in brightest realization, this apostasy was not the result of weakness or a darkened spirit but it happened consciously; it was a conscious rebellion against Me, who was rejected by you yourselves .... as the once fallen beings .... for only pure, selfless love could atone for this great guilt, and you yourselves had committed it .... The love of eternal love had to make atonement, it had to be a work of love and mercy of the greatest magnitude .... A being which was full of love had to take this great guilt upon Itself and then walk a sacrificial path with it which was so painful and bitter and ended with death on the cross. Only such an act of mercy, which was accomplished by the pure love of the man Jesus, could be accepted by Me as atonement for the great guilt of sin and free the path to Me again, from Whom you had once voluntarily separated yourselves. You had to voluntarily return to Me and would never have been able to do so because your will was weakened as a result of sin and thus also turned away from Me and My adversary, whom you voluntarily followed to the abyss, would not have released you. And from this adversary the man Jesus bought you free with His blood .... He paid the highest price .... He gave His life on the cross. I am talking about the act of the 'man' Jesus, Who was full of love, Whom love enabled to make this great sacrifice, Whom love in Himself gave Him the strength to suffer and die on the cross in unspeakable pain .... But the love which accomplished this work was I Myself .... This is a mystery which can never be properly revealed to you humans until you have penetrated the essence of love yourselves. For you keep hearing that I am love Itself but cannot understand its depth .... My fundamental substance is love, and I can only ever emanate love, and everything I have externalised from Myself as a work of creation is emanated strength of love, irrespective of whether they are self-aware beings or earthly material works of creation of all kinds .... And this strength of love ensures life, it also brings the apparently dead to life, that is, the immobile, hardened spiritual substance becomes mobile again through My illumination of love and stimulates it into activity. The beings which once fell away from Me had rejected My illumination of love and thus fell into a state of hardening where all activity was impossible for them. And even if I helped them to become active during their long process of ascent, their former original sin still prevents them from radiating more love .... The being remains lifeless to a certain extent if it does not receive My illumination of love, and it can only receive this illumination of love when it is aware of its former great guilt, when it asks Me in Jesus for forgiveness and then voluntarily opens itself to the flow of grace of My love which awakens it to life again, but which now lasts forever. For the state of life on earth is only a temporary one in which the human being shall acquire eternal life. Jesus' great love has redeemed the original sin through the act of mercy; an atonement has been made towards Me which I had to demand for the sake of justice. And this act of salvation must therefore be acknowledged by people because it was not accomplished by the man Jesus but I Myself was in the man Jesus and thus I accomplished the act of salvation and because I Myself will then also be acknowledged, Who was once refused recognition. You are not facing two beings but I and He are one .... the fleshly shell of the man Jesus contained Me in all its fullness, and I shone through this shell and let it exist so that I can be a visible God to you humans when you have entered the kingdom of light and bliss .... For the fact that you were unable to see Me was the reason for your apostasy from Me, and therefore I became visible to you, that is why I Myself put on a human being's garment and accomplished the act of salvation in this human being. And you must acknowledge this act of salvation if you want to find forgiveness from your original sin .... You must acknowledge Jesus as your God and creator, as your father from eternity, for He was intimately merged with Me through love, He was in Me and I in Him .... He and I are one, only that I became imaginable to you in Jesus, whereas otherwise you would never have been able to imagine Me, because My being is unlimited and therefore cannot be personified either ....

Amen

Low spiritual level .... Test of faith .... Battle .... Rapture ....

B.D. 8017 from October 13th 1961, taken from Book No. 84

My Own, too, will have to suffer adversities because their faith shall become increasingly stronger when, time and time again, I will lead them out of their predicament. For they shall persevere until the end and thus need a strong and unwavering faith from which they will then draw the strength for their resistance. The battle against faith will come last but this will be brutally waged .... A living faith, however, will offer resistance to it, for then you will be so closely connected to Me that you will not fear anything, regardless of what the adversary will do in order to bring you down. A strong faith is a living bond with Me .... Then I will no longer be the distant God for you but I will be your Father Who is with His child, which therefore cannot be anxious anymore since it knows itself to be safe in His protection. This will then be proof of who belongs to My church, which I founded Myself .... of whose faith is like Peter's, a faith which does not waver irrespective of how many onslaughts are undertaken .... It will be proof of who is closely united with Me, who knows the truth and therefore also My eternal plan of Salvation. And they will fearlessly face up to everything that will be done against them. You, who are My Own, will recognise ever more clearly that the end is not far away, and you should also look at the world with open eyes; then you will recognise the low spiritual level which soon cannot sink any lower and for that reason necessitates an end.

However, the day has been determined for eternity and will definitely be adhered to. Yet people will incredulously want to reject your announcements, they will barely listen to you when you admonish and warn them, they will make plans for the future and will not want to let go of them, they will only ever think in a purely earthly way and pay no attention to spiritual reproaches .... And therefore they will be taken by surprise by the coming event and also experience the end unprepared unless My final wake-up call still lets them find Me and change their way of life. And against the background of all these events you, who are and want to remain My Own, will have to be forearmed. Your faith must not start to waver; you must be as steadfast as a rock .... And I want to help you gain this faith by allowing you to experience My help ever more obviously when you are in great distress. I truly will not leave you because you handed yourselves over to Me and want to be of service to Me. But I also know what demands will still be made on you in the last days and I want to prepare you such that you can do justice to everything, that you will have the strength of faith at your disposal which is your fortitude no matter what will happen. Whatever you are lacking still requires My help; every one of you still has to be taught by Me because it is My will that you shall persevere, that you will prove yourselves in all temptations, that you will come to Me in every adversity and faithfully rely on Me and My help .... Time and again you shall be allowed to experience Me, time and again you must feel My love and might, I want to be present for you at all times so that your bond with Me grows ever stronger, and then you will no longer be at risk of failing, for I will keep hold of you and protect your from My adversary, regardless of his actions against you. The final battle on this earth will be short because I Myself will shorten the days for the sake of the elect .... But it will irrevocably happen, after all it concerns the final separation of the sheep from the goats .... My Own will openly have to testify to Me before the world, and they will truly have the strength to make this public confession, because in awareness of My presence they will not fear the adversary .... and because they will face him with an abundance of strength and will not be afraid to speak when a confession is demanded of them. And even if it then seems to appear as if the adversary is winning .... he will not be able to kill you for I Myself will come in the clouds .... I Myself will rescue you from utmost adversity, I will lift My Own up to Me and constrain My adversary again for a long time .... I will put an end to his activity .... I will lift My Own up to heaven and then accomplish the work of the transformation of earth, so that a new period of Salvation can begin and the spiritual beings' process of development will be able to continue according to the eternal plan of Salvation ....

Amen

God's care for His vineyard workers ....

B.D. 8018 from October 14th 1961, taken from Book No. 84

I also want to guide you earthly and you can always be sure that I will direct your thoughts correctly as long as you are inwardly united with Me through prayer and activity of love, through thoughts turned towards Me. I will arrange everything for you, even if you seem to be the executors, yet I know what will always serve you best, and I also know in which way you can best serve Me. And thus only ever rely on Me, Who cares for you spiritually and physically like a father .... The spreading of My word is of extraordinary importance and I will always make sure that it is not interrupted if you yourselves are of the same will, for the time is only short when I can address people directly through you who give Me the opportunity to do so. The people I can thus address Myself now also enter into contact with Me, which is not just an external form but a living one. Only when I speak to them do they become aware of My presence, they enter into the relationship of a child to its father, they seriously occupy themselves with thoughts about their purpose in life on earth .... they come alive .... And they will also mostly maintain the once entered into bond because they have only now found the right purpose in life since they recognized 'My word' as the father's voice .... And therefore it is particularly important that the word from above is spread amongst people, after all, I want to be able to speak to them Myself so that they will experience the strength of My word. And thus I Myself will do everything to make this spreading possible, yet always respecting your free will, because I would never force you to serve Me against your will. But I know about your will which applies to Me. And thus My concern is also for you, whom I have loved since the beginning. Just submit your will to Mine, and truly, you will be guided on all your paths, after all, you came to earth for the sake of a mission which concerns the work of salvation for humanity before the end of the earth. Every day shall still be used for this work of salvation, yet time is hastening and soon the time allotted to the spiritual being, which now walks across earth as a human being for the purpose of passing the last test of will, will have expired .... And during this time much shall still be done to the unredeemed souls, and I Myself pour out grace upon grace in order to counteract the raging of My and your enemy. I come to each one of you and speak to you, and I bring you My word as a particularly effective gift of grace which truly has the power to change you if you accept it without resistance, move it in your heart and thereby become active .... Then you will evaluate the gift of grace and you will have a great spiritual gain. And because I know how important the transmission of My word from above is and how necessary people need My direct address, I also bless all My vineyard labourers who make this address possible for Me, who spread My word and are only ever active in My will .... And I Myself will also always create new opportunities which serve the spreading of My word, I will always ensure that the right vineyard labourers come together, for My spirit will bring you together, which knows each individual's will and accordingly also gives each individual the right instructions. Believe that I need all of you for this work of salvation in the last days before the end .... Believe that I will also give each one of you the strength to be a faithful co-worker for Me .... For many are indeed called, but I can choose only a few to work for Me and My kingdom .... But these few can always be certain of My protection and My blessing. For the time is hastening and soon the end of this earth will come .... And then the work of salvation must also be finished so that the few who are of good will will still have found Me ....

Amen

Change of nature into love with the help of Jesus Christ ....

B.D. 8019 from October 15th 1961, taken from Book No. 84

Your path of earthly life as a human being is the last short phase of your process of development from the deepest abyss into higher spheres .... But whether it will lead to completion is determined by you in your human state where free will has been returned to you, which you must use correctly in order to attain final perfection. Hence you bear great responsibility since you decide your fate for an infinitely long time of constraint again or for life in eternity .... With a correctly inclined will you can become free of every external form when you leave your earthly body; but you can also enter the hardest external form once more if you abuse your freedom of will, if you don't make full use of your life on earth, if you don't accomplish the transformation of your nature which must become love again, as it was in the beginning ....

This transformation of your nature into love is the only purpose for your life on earth as a human being and it is possible for you to achieve this work of transformation because I will truly help you in every way .... For I long for My living creations to return to Me as 'children' and will truly do everything within My power to enable them to reach their goal .... but I will not enslave their will .... They must return to Me of their own free will, just as they once left Me and thereby plunged into the abyss. I take all weaknesses and faults into account, I help where you humans are too weak on your own; I reveal Myself to you so that you will learn to recognise and love Me; I shower you with an unlimited measure of grace which you need only make use of in order to enable you to become victorious in earthly life .... For you must wage battle against My adversary who refuses to let go of you but who likewise cannot determine your free will if it turns away from him .... You must fight against all instincts and cravings which still cling to your soul .... you must firmly want to move forward and to successfully complete your path of earthly life .... You must long for Me and, truly, I will come to meet you and draw you close to Me and never let you go again. For I love you and yearn for your return to Me ....

You need never fear that you will lack the strength for your perfection, because One acquired it for you through His death on the cross .... Jesus Christ, Who redeemed you from sin and death .... And this One wants to bestow the blessings of His act of Salvation upon you and is waiting for you merely to request them, to also want Him to have redeemed your guilt of sin, and for you to appeal to Him to strengthen your will in order to accomplish the transformation work into love on earth .... As soon as you turn to Him you also acknowledge Me again and your return to Me will be assured, your return into your Father's house which you once left voluntarily ....

You can truly reach the final goal during your short life on earth if only you acknowledge Jesus Christ as Redeemer of the world, Who sheltered Me Myself in all abundance .... Through this acknowledgement and the plea for forgiveness of your guilt, your original sin of apostasy from Me will be redeemed .... because the human being Jesus died on the cross in order to atone for the great guilt with His blood for the sake of justice ....

You would never have been able to remove this guilt and make

Amends for it yourselves, this is why I Myself died in the human being Jesus on the cross, because only love was able to absolve such guilt, which Jesus, the man, mustered for His suffering brothers and which so permeated Him that He took all suffering and pain upon Himself .... But I Myself was this Love .... And therefore the path to Me was cleared for you humans again, so that you can return into your Father's house; I can accept you again as My children because your guilt has been redeemed by Jesus if you acknowledge Him and thus Me in Him, for He and I are one .... Anyone who calls upon Him, calls upon Me, and anyone who may behold Him one day will behold Me face to face ....

Amen

Information relating to purpose and reason of earthly life ....

B.D. 8020 from October 16th 1961, taken from Book No. 84

You must always know that there is reason and purpose for your existence as human beings on earth .... It was not the Creator’s whim that placed you into this world but spiritual events which formed the foundation of your creation, events which happened a very long time ago in the spiritual kingdom. The beings, brought into existence by My will’s love, began to change .... The law of order, in which all perfect things had to exist, was overturned .... The externalised perfect beings changed themselves into the opposite, they trespassed the law of order and became imperfect .... However, their nature changed of their own free will, i.e. the beings’ will rebelled against the existing order, it rebelled against Me Myself as their God and Creator, but Whom they nonetheless recognised because they were enlightened. Consequently, this occurrence in the kingdom of the spirits is the reason for your existence as human beings on this earth ....

For you are the fallen spirits who had parted from Me of your own free will, you are the beings who once came forth from Me in highest perfection and voluntarily changed their nature to the contrary .... you are those fallen spirits .... But eternities had passed between your apostasy from Me and your existence as human beings .... an infinitely long time had passed wherein the fallen being had to go through a process of change, where it was exposed to incredible suffering and torment, where it gradually evolved from the abyss to the pinnacle again, always subject to My guidance because nothing that originates from Me remains eternally separated .... And thus one day you will reach the level of development when you will live as human beings on earth in order to cover the last short distance to the end .... in order to voluntarily achieve your return to your God and Father, from Whom you once had distanced yourselves in wrongly directed will .... If you look at your human existence in this light you will learn to understand how significant it is for you; you will no longer regard earthly life as an end in itself but as a means to an end, and you will live it consciously.

But it is difficult to make you believe that you are not just a whim of your God and Creator .... because you have no proof of what I tell you. However, just for once you should seriously consider that you yourselves and everything around you are works of wonder which could not have originated arbitrarily .... and after serious contemplation recognise a God and Creator and become convinced that there is nothing without purpose, and that your earthly life subsequently has to serve a purpose too .... You should aim to make contact with the acknowledged creative power, which is always possible in thought, in prayer and by doing works of love .... In unity with Me a light will soon shine for you, very soon you will perceive a glimpse of the knowledge which you once possessed in full measure.

And the light within you will shine consistently brighter the more you seek unity with Me and you will achieve the purpose of your life: you will accomplish the transformation of your own free will .... the change of your nature into perfection, which was your condition from the start .... You will kindle the tiny spark of love within you and turn it into a bright fire, which means as much as having entered the law of eternal order once again, where all perfect things have to exist .... You will be able to end an infinitely long process of development with the result that you will have adopted My fundamental nature again .... that you will have shaped yourselves into love and will once more be divine, perfect beings as you were in the beginning .... This is the purpose of your earthly life, which should prompt you to live consciously so that the last stage of the infinitely long process of development will enable the entirely spiritualised being to leave this earth in perfection and enter the kingdom of light and bliss from whence it once originated ....

Amen

God's courtship of the love of His creatures ....

B.D. 8021 from October 17th 1961, taken from Book No. 84

I will never stop courting your love, for My love never decreases and thus it also belongs to you for all eternity .... Yet love wants to find reciprocated love, and therefore I desire your love, I long for My love to be reciprocated by you, and I will always reveal Myself to you in the human stage as a being Which is love in Itself, Which is supremely perfect and therefore also deserves your love. I court your love .... I pursue you even if you turn away from Me, but I don't force you to give Me your love, for only the love you voluntarily give Me can make Me happy. You cannot understand this because love only glows in you to the slightest degree as long as you are not yet perfected. You once resisted every illumination of love on My part, you sought out the state of darkness yourselves which occurs when My ray of love can no longer penetrate you .... You voluntarily deprived yourselves of this illumination and this also meant that the love in you grew cold .... you could no longer feel the bliss of love, and now, as a human being, you only possess a very small spark of love which My grace and mercy placed in you so that you would not be completely devoid of love. But this tiny spark can flare up in you into brightest embers. And this is My constant concern to induce you to let the spark of love in you become a bright flame which will strike Me, the eternal love, again .... that you will learn to love Me again and long for unity with Me. And therefore I seek to first inform you humans of a God and creator Who is supremely perfect, Who is love, wisdom and might in Himself and from Whose love you once emerged. If you, as human beings, can gain this faith in Me as a supremely perfect being, I will reveal Myself ever more, be it directly or through creation, through everything that surrounds you, which proves to you the love and wisdom and might of a creator. You will be able to recognize Me as a supremely perfect being, and you will also feel love for Me if you can now also believe that this God and creator wants to be the father of all of you, Who wants to be eternally united with His children in love .... I do not want to be the God who is feared by you because of His great power .... I want to be and remain the father for you Who loves His children and wants to make them eternally happy. And this awareness will also kindle love for Me in you, the child will long for its father because it feels His love, and it will offer the father itself a heart full of love .... And I long for this love, and I constantly woo My living creations' love until I once have reached My aim .... For love is a strength which does not remain without effect, the effect of which I Myself only withhold as long as it encounters resistance. And again and again I prove My love for you through the supply of My word from above .... I speak to you, I let you receive My illumination of love without, however, forcing you to let it become effective. It is entirely up to your free will whether you open or close your heart when My ray of love wants to strike you, but it will reach you and truly ignite in you if you voluntarily open yourselves to it, and you will reciprocate My love .... initially only faintly, yet soon the flame of love will blaze brightly in you, and then the bliss of merging with the fire of love will already begin. Then My striving for love will not have been in vain, and then I will be able to reveal Myself in My entire nature and make you infinitely happy .... Then the return of the child to the father will take place, which is and has been My aim since the beginning ....

Amen

God's will: Fulfilling the commandments of love .... Presence ....

B.D. 8022 from October 18th 1961, taken from Book No. 84

I am truly present wherever My presence is longed for. For no call passes My ear which arises from a person's heart, because I want to be closely united with every one of My living creations which once originated from Me. And you shall also become aware of My presence, you shall hear My address at any time when your heart opens to it. And My loving care will only ever admonish and warn you, I will always give you advice, make My will known to you and then kindle a bright light in you when you fulfil My will: I will convey knowledge to you which only I Myself can impart to you. My will, which I make known to you, is only ever the fulfilment of the commandments of love .... Hence the transmission of knowledge, of the eternal truth from Me, is only possible if you live a life of love in accordance with My commandments. And then it is also understandable that you now pass on the knowledge, for your love for Me will prompt you to also give to your fellow human beings what makes you happy yourselves. But they, too, first have to learn about My will, they, too, have to fulfil the commandments of love, otherwise the imparted knowledge will be incomprehensible to them and they will reject it. But anyone who fulfils My will, who endeavours to live a life of love, will also soon feel My presence, for I Myself am love, and “he who abides in love abides in Me and I in him ...." You must therefore first understand that you cause Me Myself to be present in you through every work of love, that you draw Me to you when you perform works of love .... that you therefore unite with Me through every work of love .... that the union with Me can only be established through love .... Therefore I preach love to you again and again, and thus you, who pass on My word, should also proclaim the teaching of love first, you should present these two commandments of Mine to your fellow human beings as the most important, because only a life of love according to My will can bring you humans perfection, because only a life of love will lead you to the aim, to unification with Me, which is the final purpose of your earthly existence as a human being. And if you live a life of love you will also always desire My presence, and I will always comply with this desire, after all, My desire is also directed towards unification with you, because I love you from the very beginning. But love seeks unification, which will always take place on My part, yet it has to be striven for on your part, since it was you yourselves who left Me of your own free will and therefore you also have to voluntarily return to Me again. And love will always achieve this .... And even if you say that I keep repeating Myself in My address .... this instruction cannot be given to you often enough, and the effect of a life of love cannot be described to you forcefully enough .... You cannot be warned strongly enough not to go through earthly life without love .... Only love can complete you, only love will ensure your return to Me, and only through love do you cause Me to be and remain present to you .... And My presence truly also means the certainty for you that you will reach your aim while still on earth. For when I am present to you I speak to you, and thus My love also radiates towards you and ignites a bright flame of love in you which constantly flows towards Me, and the unification takes place which is the purpose and aim of your earthly life. Just look for Me in all earnestness and I will truly allow Myself to be found .... And always remain united with Me through loving activity, through heartfelt prayer and constant turning of your thoughts to Me .... And My love will take hold of you and never let go of you again, for you are now My children and will remain so for all eternity ....

Amen

"Knowledge" must be gained ....

B.D. 8023 from October 20th 1961, taken from Book No. 84

You must all complete the school of the spirit, you must all once be led through the spirit into knowledge, you must all once again be flooded by My light of love, which opens up to you again the knowledge which you had lost through your fall into the depths .... You must be taught, you must be led out of the state of ignorance, of lightlessness, into the state of knowledge .... of knowledge that corresponds to the truth and gives you bright light again about your God and creator, about your relationship to Him and in particular about your earthly task .... Through this training you all have to be led out of darkness, which is your fate as long as My spirit cannot yet work in you. By yourselves you would never make an effort to increase your spiritual knowledge, and there are only a few people who have the desire to receive enlightenment .... But these few will also have their desire satisfied, for they do not resist the spiritual spark within themselves when it wants to express itself. They allow it to influence their thoughts and will then be guided correctly, so that the human being will feel it when the truth is conveyed to him from outside, so that he may accept it .... And it begins to become light in him. Yet the majority of people do not feel the spiritual darkness as oppressive and therefore do not seek the light either. Yet I also occasionally kindle a small light for them which they may use in order to find the right path which will lead them to deeper realization. If they want to take it then they will certainly achieve spiritual gain, but if they extinguish the little light then their earthly path will remain dark and it will not lead to the aim .... For the spiritual darkness consists of the fact that their purpose of earthly life is unknown to them, that they certainly live their earthly life but don't recognize any spiritual meaning in it and therefore their thoughts are only ever worldly oriented. If their hearts are willing to love then their thoughts will also occasionally concern themselves with the actual purpose of earthly life; they will feel that earthly life alone cannot be significant but that a spiritual purpose must also be connected with it .... Then, therefore, he enters the school of the spirit, he does not hinder the spirit within himself when it seeks to influence him and kindles a light in him .... And now it is possible to send teachings to the human being which come from within and are described by the human being himself as his own thinking but which now has a claim to be regarded as truth. You can only be introduced to the truth by your spirit, or also: I Myself bring you the truth by addressing you through My spirit, regardless of the form in which you hear this address. This usually has to happen mentally, because not every person has prepared himself in such a way that he can hear My voice within himself .... Nevertheless, everything is My spirit's working if only the human being desires to penetrate spiritual knowledge and then allows himself to be taught. Then My spirit will always be active and impart profound knowledge to him, and then the spiritual darkness which oppresses a person willing to love will also disappear, because it is the state of souls which are still in the adversary's control .... but the person, through his willingness to love, has already detached himself from him will-wise and who, in his desire for knowledge, turns his will towards Me. A person's love also guarantees right thinking, it guarantees a certain degree of maturity which then also results in the granting of profound spiritual knowledge .... or also: love awakens the spirit in the human being to life, which now becomes active and works by instructing the person from within .... But knowledge can never be gained in any other way, for whatever is supplied to the human being from outside he will not recognize as truth, as light, as long as the spirit from Me cannot work in him, which introduces you to all truth .... but which is only awakened again through a life of love, but then it comes into action and imparts wonderful knowledge to the human being .... which he originally possessed but had lost due to his apostasy from Me. He must irrevocably regain them if he wants to reach the final perfection and be and remain immeasurably blissful again in My kingdom ....

Amen

Work of God and the adversary in the last days ....

B.D. 8024 from October 23rd 1961, taken from Book No. 84

I don't want to lose you to My adversary, and therefore you should only take the path to Me and appeal to Me for protection and help so that you thereby grant Me the right to push him away from you, which, however, I will not do if you still belong to his entourage yourselves, if you don't yet have the will to detach yourselves from him. For he still has a right to you as long as you don't resist him, as long as you still acknowledge him as your lord. But he will have lost his right to you immediately if your will is directed towards Me, if you therefore call upon Me for protection and help. And then he will still try to influence you under the cover of piety, he will use cunning and trickery in order not to lose you to Me, but all efforts on his part will be unsuccessful if you desire to become free from him yourselves. His activity in the last days will go so far that he will try to extinguish all light which could show people the path to Me .... he will try to weaken My word, he will try to prevent the bearers of light from fulfilling their tasks, he will cause unrest and confusion wherever he can in order to undermine faith in Me, in order to prevent people from looking for and finding their God and father. And his means are truly satanic, for he disguises himself well and often succeeds in causing confusion where a firm bond with Me has not already brought enlightenment of spirit and he and his activity are recognized. He also knows that he does not have much time left, and he still expects much success in the short time. But anyone who consciously renounces him also enjoys My protection and will not fall into his hands because I prevent this by virtue of My love and My power. Yet I cannot give you humans any supernatural evidence of My might and power so as not to force your faith, which shall apply to Me in complete freedom .... You shall believe in Me and My being, which is love, wisdom and power in itself .... And this faith also secures you My help, My guidance and your release from him .... And My love truly does everything to make it easy for you to gain faith in Me. For where My adversary's activity appears so obviously I will also take special care of people without, however, necessarily influencing your faith. Yet again and again I touch your hearts, I reveal Myself to you in the most diverse ways .... I speak to you fatefully, (23.10.1961) I try to influence you mentally, I bring you together with people who are in contact with Me, who in conversations testify to Me and My might, to My love and wisdom .... I will always find a way to make you take a stand for Me, and I will make it easy for you to gain faith in Me, because I Myself want you to believe in Me as a perfect being Who created you out of His love .... I want to provide you with evidence of My existence just as My adversary tries to destroy your faith in Me .... And you are truly not defencelessly exposed to his violence .... the measure of My grace which I will still pour out on you in the last days is unlimited, you just have to make use of it yourselves, you have to take advantage of the grace with which I bestow upon you abundantly, and then you will no longer need to fear My adversary either, who is repelled by My presence and to whom My presence in you is also recognizable if you consciously hand yourselves over to Me and appeal to Me for My protection. My adversary will cause much harm in the last days and yet people themselves give him the right to do so because they don't defend themselves and don't take refuge in Me. And they would do so if they believed in a God of love, wisdom and might. But they lack faith and that is why the adversary has such great power and uses it in a frightening way. And again and again he will storm against strong walls of faith which, however, will withstand him, behind which My own will find safe shelter and also grant protection to those who are still weak in faith, who will then grow stronger in their faith and thus also testify to My love, wisdom and power ....

Amen

The difference between 'knowledge' and 'realisation' ....

B.D. 8025 from October 24th 1961, taken from Book No. 84

The degree of realisation corresponds to the soul's degree of maturity. You should not confuse 'realisation' with mere knowledge, for you can acquire the latter intellectually as well; it can also correspond to the truth if you accept it from those who have already attained realisation .... But it need not mean 'realisation' for you quite yet, for only when you have reached a certain high degree of love will you be able to penetrate the 'knowledge', it will come alive in you, then it will also provide you with insight, and thus you will regain the state which you once voluntarily abandoned by having replaced the light with darkness, thus having lost all realisation. Academic knowledge about Me and My Nature, about the destined purpose of your existence as human beings and about My plan of Salvation concerning the return of the spirits is not sufficient .... for you won't understand everything as long as you don't demonstrate the said degree of love which guarantees you an inner light, the working of My spirit within yourselves ....

Yet 'realisation' is the sign that the divine attributes, which are buried within yourselves as long as you are devoid of love, are coming through again .... Realisation is light, which you have to regain in order to become blessed, providing you desire light during your earthly existence. For you can also live a loving way of life without experiencing any desire for knowledge; in that case the light of realisation will suddenly permeate you when you discard your earthly body and enter into the spiritual kingdom. A spiritually-awake person, however, must to be able to differentiate between 'knowledge' and 'realisation' .... He should not equate intellectual knowledge with realisation, but he should also know that true realisation demands a high degree of love and proves that you humans can consider yourselves fortunate if you are introduced to profound knowledge and thereby attain realisation .... The latter already signifies that you are entering your original state, in which you were permeated by light and love, in which you had not yet fallen prey to darkness, but in which you still existed as a human being as long as you were still immature, that is, in which you were still spiritually unenlightened.

I can never please a human being with the light of realisation if he does not exhibit the prerequisite which permits the working of My spirit .... For My Spirit is the part of Me which imparts this realisation to you humans, which makes knowledge accessible to you which you can understand, which makes you happy, which enlightens your spiritual state, which clearly lets you realise all correlations and thus it can be considered to be evidence of an advanced maturity of soul .... True realisation will always be gladdening, and it can never be confused with a mass of knowledge which is not understood because My spirit is as yet unable to work, even though the intellect has accepted this knowledge. In that case it nevertheless remains dead knowledge which is worthless for the maturing of a soul. And then people can only be cautioned not to acquire such knowledge, for a loving way of life is necessary first in order to bring this knowledge alive. Love is necessary, for it stimulates the spirit within the human being to come alive, and only then will it kindle a true light, only then will 'knowledge' become 'realisation'.

Only then will the soul have reached a particular degree of maturity which will lift the spiritual darkness .... only then will it be possible to speak of a light which illuminates the human being from within and gives him clear realisation about all spiritual occurrences, about the very first beginning and the ultimate goal of everything in existence, and about the meaning and purpose of human life on earth .... And as soon as the human being has come to this realisation, as soon as he can understand everything, he will also understand My Nature and fully appreciate My eternal plan of Salvation, for then he will know the correlations, he will see everything brightly and clearly, and then there will be no other goal for him but to achieve his original state again, in which he was happy .... He will wholeheartedly strive towards unification with Me and also achieve it and return to Me, from Whom he once originated ....

Amen

Spiritual low level is the reason for the disintegration ....

B.D. 8026 from October 25th 1961, taken from Book No. 84

A considerable spiritual decline is noticeable, for people pay little attention to events which happen on the spiritual level .... They just observe worldly events and the effects of these on their physical life, they merely entertain earthly thoughts and have no contact whatsoever with the spiritual world. Rarely, if ever, are their thoughts directed towards the kingdom that is not of this world .... They only believe what they can see and doubt all spiritual happenings. They don't believe in Me or they would try to make contact with Me, their God and Creator of eternity .... They consider everything spiritual as unreal and thus don't investigate it, and if they get drawn into conversations about Me by their fellow human beings they don't want to know and even frankly admit their disbelief. They have no spiritual links because they are held captive by earthly matter and thus by My adversary, to whom they belong and from whom they do not intend to dissociate either.

Hence the considerably low spiritual level, which is the reason for the end of the old earth, the end of a period of Salvation, which requires the disintegration of the earthly creation. For the earth shall be a place of education for the soul which lives on earth embodied as a human being. But the spirit within the human being is no longer taken notice of, the human being considers his earthly life an end in itself and no longer does justice to his actual task, he does not comply with his task on earth. He ignores the spiritual development of his soul .... He lives in complete ignorance of his earthly task and will never gain any knowledge of it either since he refuses to be informed of it. He rejects every explanation or instruction given to him by faithful people and cannot be forced into realisation because this contradicts My love and wisdom ....

And therefore I will use other methods before the end in order to motivate the few, who are not entirely enslaved by My adversary, to make them think .... These methods will, in fact, be very painful because people have to be severely affected by fate in order to come to their senses and take the path to Me. For they will get into serious difficulties in which they can no longer expect earthly help .... And then it will be possible that they will remember the Power Which had created them .... Then it will be possible that they will call to this Power from the bottom of their heart .... And then I will truly hear their call and also answer their prayer, and I will reveal Myself to them through obvious help, through saving them from their adversity. Yet I will take no notice of words merely voiced by the lips .... However, a heartfelt prayer, a prayer in spirit and in truth will be granted by Me, because I still want to gain every soul before the end so that it will not go astray again for an infinitely long time .... People's spiritual decline is the cause for considerable and harsh strokes of fate which still have to befall humanity in order to change their thoughts, as far as this is at all possible. The fleeting nature of earthly possession will still bring many a person to his senses and prompt him to seriously consider the state of his soul. Yet their will shall always remain free, and they have to take the path to Me entirely uninfluenced .... But their deliverance is guaranteed if they take this path, for it only concerns their soul's salvation and not their physical well-being ....

It only concerns their acknowledgement of Me, that they believe in Me, which they should demonstrate by their appeal to Me in spirit and in truth .... And they will be saved from ruin, they will be seized by My loving Fatherly hand and wrested from My adversary's clutches, who has no authority over people's free will and shall lose his claim on this soul. And every human being will truly be blessed who still professes Me before the end .... who takes refuge with Me in his adversity and then allows himself to be seized by My love. For I will not let him fall, and he will thank Me eternally that I have fought for his soul until the end, that My love left no stone unturned in order to win it forever ....

Amen

Fulfilment of prophecy as proof of truth ....

B.D. 8027 from October 27th 1961, taken from Book No. 84

There is irrefutable proof of the truth of My proclamations from above, for you will very soon experience My voice sounding loud and mighty, as I have predicted to you for a long time. I have to decide on an unusual revelation so that it will be easy for those of good will to believe, for in the last days everything will be done on My adversary's part to undermine the faith in Me as a God of love, wisdom and power. From his side I am portrayed as a God of wrath, as a strict judge, as a being which lacks love and is therefore not perfect. And people's love for Me is diminished by such portrayals, people are given such a distorted image of My nature that they find it difficult to love such a being .... But I woo your love and therefore reveal Myself to you in direct form, I speak to you and inform you of My nature in all truthfulness .... You can still doubt that it is My direct address to you .... Yet you will perceive it as truth if only you want to be instructed in truth. And I will prove Myself to you, after all, even this proof is not yet a compulsion of faith but only a help for the one who is of good will .... What I predicted to you will come to pass very soon, and then you will obviously recognize the power of your God and creator, Who also created you .... You will now know that everything else is truth which I Myself have made known to you through My word .... And then you will also take the path to Me .... You will call upon the being for protection and support, Which so obviously reveals Itself to you, Which proves Its existence to you through Its address and Which thus wants to win you over for Itself. For you humans have to acknowledge Me if your earthly life is not to have been an idle existence .... And you acknowledge Me when you pray to Me in spirit and in truth, when you call upon Me for help in a hardship which you cannot remedy on your own. Everything that still happens or is permitted by Me is only based on My love, on My will to help you, to induce you to recognize Me and thus to conclude your infinitely long process of development from the abyss to the ascent with the success that you have found your way back to Me again, you who once voluntarily separated yourselves from Me .... And because there is not much time left and My adversary uses all arts to keep your souls in the abyss, My influence is also so obvious that you can truly find your way to Me if this is your will .... And therefore I will very soon provide you with the evidence that you stand in the unusual grace of being addressed by Me Myself .... because My prophecies come true which precede the last end, which was also predicted to you through My direct address. I don't demand anything unusual from you, I take the weakness of your faith into account, I know that it is far more difficult to attain a living faith in the last days; yet whatever can still happen on My part to facilitate your return to Me will also happen, for I love you, My living creations, and I don't want you to get lost again for an infinitely long time .... I want to help you so that you may still finish your course of development in this period, so that the path through earthly creation is completed for you .... that you find your way to Me, that you acknowledge Me and long for and strive for unification with Me .... And I truly want to make it easy for you to believe in a God and creator Who wants to be your father and therefore expects the love of a child from you in order to be able to take you to His heart again, in order to be able to transfer you back to where you dwelled in the beginning .... in order to make you happy again with His love for all eternity ....

Amen

Recognition of Jesus Christ is recognition of God ....

B.D. 8028 from October 29th 1961, taken from Book No. 84

People cannot receive enough enlightenment, for they have accepted so much error and are in completely wrong thinking. Had they been properly instructed they could have easily found faith. Yet they are not without fault because they lack the desire for truth, otherwise it could have been offered to them and would also have been accepted by them. And thus they were also insufficiently taught Jesus Christ's act of salvation, for the reason for it was not given to people so that they did not recognize its great significance and therefore gave up their faith in Him and His act of salvation, indeed, they often even denied His existence because they were not truthfully taught about it. Yet precisely faith in Jesus and His act of salvation is people's salvation, and it is urgently necessary that they still gain it before the end, before their souls leave the body in order to enter the kingdom of the beyond. If you, My servants on earth, are therefore repeatedly admonished to inform your fellow human beings of the divine redeemer, this also signifies a work of mercy for yourselves, for you know all those in greatest adversity who do not believe in Him and therefore also have no true knowledge of Me, Whom they only have to look for in Jesus Christ as the essential God with Whom they shall establish contact as evidence that they acknowledge Me. Anyone who has the right faith in Me also calls upon Me in Him, in Jesus, Who redeemed the world from sin and death .... Anyone who does not acknowledge Him does not yet recognize Me properly either, although he does not want to deny a 'Deity', but he is not yet in the right state of mind or he would be able to believe that Jesus and I are one .... And as soon as it is possible to give people truthful clarification about this it will also be easier for them to believe if their will is good .... This is why I keep sending you, My disciples, to proclaim Jesus Christ's act of salvation, this is why I keep encouraging you to work diligently in the vineyard, because much depends on it for the salvation of the human being's soul if he finds Him, if he can gain convinced faith in Him Who sheltered Me Himself as a shell, Who became one with Him and thus accomplished the act of salvation in Jesus .... For I must be acknowledged in Him by every soul which wants to enter the kingdom of light but which will only find entrance into it when its original sin has been redeemed through Jesus Christ, Whom it therefore also has to acknowledge .... You humans don't know what a great mission the 'man Jesus' has accomplished on earth; you don't know how significant the work of mercy was for all people of the past, the present and the future, but again and again you receive information about it and can be instructed in utmost truth if only you don't close your mind when it is brought to you by My messengers through the working of My spirit. Again and again I admonish My messengers to convey the truth to you, and I admonish you to accept it, for you must find your way to Jesus Christ .... And if you don't take the path on earth to Him then you will enter the kingdom of the beyond unredeemed, and then you will have to remain in wretchedness until you have found Him there .... For without Jesus Christ there is no entrance into the kingdom of light and bliss .... But the supply of pure truth can nevertheless clarify your thinking, and with good will you can muster the right understanding for it, and then you can consider yourselves blessed if you voluntarily take the path to Him, the divine redeemer, if you now attain a living faith because you feel moved to live a life of following Jesus, i.e., to practise love which then also awakens the spirit in you to life .... For truth can enlighten your thinking as long as you are of good will .... The truth can set you free from all darkness, because the truth is from Me, Who is the light from eternity ....

Amen

Clarification about the credibility of "revelations" ....

B.D. 8029 from October 31th 1961, taken from Book No. 84

The spiritual current is certainly always the same which flows down from Me to earth in order to pour into an open vessel, yet the vessels themselves are prepared differently and therefore cannot receive the ray with the same strength, which therefore also signifies a weaker effect of strength of what a person now utters as 'working of My spirit' .... provided that it is possible to speak of a working of My spirit .... For you humans must not forget that beings in the kingdom of the beyond also try to divest themselves of their knowledge, that they try to transfer this knowledge to people but are not instructed by Me to teach people .... And you always have to carry out this examination yourselves, which is certainly possible with My support. You should not reject prematurely, you should not accept prematurely .... but you should know that I use every willing vessel in order to make Myself known, because people's spiritual low level requires it. And I will always first try to encourage people to live a life of love, which is why .... where love is emphasized again and again .... My working cannot be denied. But caution is always advised when certain signs indicate that intellectual thinking switches on and produces intellectual results .... when the human being has knowledge at his disposal which he applies, when he does not draw his knowledge from the original source but from the scriptures, which certainly testify to Me but are not needed when I Myself speak to you humans .... For then you yourselves will no longer be able to distinguish what is My word or what is spiritual knowledge handed down through the scriptures .... I have indeed said that 'I will remind you of all that I have said to you' when I walked the earth. But it is then that this word goes to you directly from Me, and truly .... My vocabulary is large .... and I do not constantly repeat Myself because I still have much to say to you and therefore I use every opportunity to instruct you. The intellect must not interfere, and this is the case when you convey alleged 'assignments' to your fellow human beings which must not be regarded as revelations on My part .... You then certainly have the will to be of service to Me, yet your thinking and activity is still earthbound; you are moved by thoughts which do not yet testify to a complete absorption in Me, and then you can also easily be influenced by those beings which do not work on My behalf, which are not entitled to a teaching activity, and you yourselves cannot distinguish who expresses himself through you .... I bless everyone who devotes himself to Me, who wants to serve Me and seriously prepares himself to serve Me as a receiving vessel of My spirit .... And I also know about your will to be active for Me. Nevertheless, I also require a serious examination on your part .... I require that you remain in deepest humility and that you seriously only desire the supply of pure truth, which indeed first requires a life of love, because only love kindles the right light in you, in the bright glow of which you will now also only understand that which you previously received as dead knowledge .... thus you will only now attain 'realization'. After all, I want to instruct you, I want to illuminate your spiritual darkness and this certainly requires the divine teaching of love, the observance of which will kindle a light in you .... but now you also have to let yourselves be enlightened by My light of love, and that means: to increase in wisdom .... in knowledge which corresponds to truth. For it will only ever be a blessing if you receive such truthful knowledge which always requires a life of love. Without love you cannot receive this pure truth or you will not recognize it as such if it is conveyed to you from outside .... "Knowledge' without love does not exist but then you can only speak of dead knowledge which is of little value to you and therefore need not be striven for .... ‘Wisdom' can only ever arise from 'love', but you humans can only be encouraged to love but never forced to do so. And truly, only I Myself can inform you of this, and therefore you will always be able to recognize My working by the fact that you are introduced to the truth .... that knowledge is made accessible to you which gives you an insight into My nature, into My reign and working and which can therefore be recognized as profound divine wisdom .... For My revelations only ever have the purpose of leading people out of spiritual darkness .... light and to guide people out of their completely ignorant state into the state of realization, which, however, is only ever possible when a vessel surrenders to Me without will and no longer allows its own thoughts to arise within itself. For My spirit must not find any resistance, which, however, is still present when the human will itself determines the direction of its thoughts ....

Examination of "revelations" ....

B.D. 8030 from November 2nd 1961, taken from Book No. 84

In the spiritual kingdom the beings' degree of maturity is decisive as to whether and to what extent they are allowed to take part in instructing people, i.e. they are authorized to do so by Me .... For the beings in the beyond also participate unlawfully by trying to transfer their wrong thoughts to people, but this can only happen if complete indifference towards the truth enables their influence. For this reason a distinction must always be made between obvious spiritual instructions which reach a person who consciously wants to receive such from the spiritual world and wants to live in truth, and such transmissions from the spiritual kingdom which can arise in the form of thoughts in people who, being still immature themselves, are also exposed to spiritually immature influence and who, above all, lack the desire for truth which would protect them from such influence. The human being determines the degree of truth in which he moves solely through his will .... And therefore it is not easy to separate truth from error, because the human being never knows another person's spiritual maturity and then it is also difficult for him to deduce the giver of what he represents. But again and again I want to assure you that a right desire for truth also guarantees the reception of truth, that therefore everyone who desires to stand in the truth himself will recognize what does not correspond to the truth. Therefore, if his feelings are unpleasantly touched, if he feels a quiet resistance towards a teaching or spiritual concept, then this is always a quiet warning from Me to accept it, for I Myself place this will of resistance into the heart of a truth-loving person, and he will also soon discover for himself the flimsiness of such teachings which do not stand up to serious scrutiny .... Often enough My adversary is able to sow weeds, and again and again these will find good breeding ground because people lack the seriousness towards truth .... But where this is present people do not overlook the weeds but try to root them out .... And misguided teachings are illuminated as such, for they can never be brought into harmony with the truth which is conveyed to you humans by Me Myself or by My messengers of light. For these are of the same will as Me, they have completely entered into My will, they are full of light and realization .... And therefore they will always be active with Me and in My will, thus they will never have plans and aims other than Mine .... which now also lets you understand that they are initiated into My eternal plan of salvation and also recognize it as exceedingly wise and loving .... Thus they would never try to persuade Me to abandon or change this plan of salvation. After all, they know that endless love, unsurpassable wisdom and strongest power underlie this plan of salvation and that it only ever aims for the unlimited bliss of all My living creations .... And I have to tell you again and again that you humans urgently need the truth, for your thinking very often goes the wrong way, you still imagine Me to be all too human; you apply a wrong standard and believe that you can determine My rule and activity as it suits your wishes .... And thus you also don't believe in an end according to the plan from eternity .... For if such a plan is fixed, it must one day be carried out as My love and wisdom has recognized it to be right and beneficial since eternity .... For I am unchanging in My nature, and thus My laws cannot change either, and according to these I must and will work, and it will come about as it is proclaimed through word and scripture ....

Darkness .... Knowledge .... Truth .... Love .... Light ....

B.D. 8031 from November 3rd 1961, taken from Book No. 84

I will divulge significant knowledge to you if you allow Me to reveal Myself .... for when I lived on earth I gave you the promise that I will guide you into truth .... and that means that I want to convey the knowledge to you so that you will no longer need to live in spiritual darkness, that you will attain the realisation .... if only to a limited extent at first .... which enlightens you about Me Myself and your relationship with Me. You enter the earth as a human being in complete ignorance, and this is a state of spiritual darkness which truly cannot make you happy. And in this darkness you cannot find the path to Me; all the same, you should take this path during your earthly life because the only purpose for earthly existence is your return to Me. Thus the darkness must first be dispelled, small sparks of light must flare up for you .... You must slowly be introduced to the knowledge about your God and Creator and about your origin from Him. You need to be informed about His will and the consequences of fulfilling this will .... You need to find out about the commandments of love for God and your neighbour and know that your salvation depends on your fulfilling them, that this is the purpose and goal of your earthly life or you will never ever be able to return to Me .... Hence you must also know that your God and Creator is a Being Which acts in supreme perfection, Which is love, wisdom and might within Itself .... that this Being imposes requirements upon you during your earthly life and that you must comply with these requirements .... If this knowledge is made accessible to you in all truth it will illuminate your course of life like a light. And then it will be up to each individual person's will to let this light shine ever more brightly within himself, which will happen by fulfilling My will, by fulfilling the commandments of love .... For ´he that hath My commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth Me and I will manifest myself to him ....´ Then I will be able to broaden the field of his knowledge, I will be able to enlighten him in every way, he need only ever ask Me questions which I will answer for him, either directly or in the form of thought, which are conveyed to him from Me.

He will be able to receive extensive knowledge about Me and My Being, about My reign and activity, about all correlations which explain the origin of Creation, about the meaning and purpose of all works of creation and about the actual task of the human being who lives on earth. Through My revelations I can instruct the human being in detail and provide him with a considerable amount of knowledge so that he will be able to state that he has the right knowledge .... that he has re-kindled the light within him which he himself had extinguished through his apostasy from Me, in which he fell into deepest darkness. And so he will gradually approach his original state again, for the spiritual darkness only occurred through his apostasy and through his return to Me he will become enlightened again. Whether you humans have academic knowledge at your disposal is not decisive for your spiritual state, for it will remain incomprehensible to you even if it corresponds to the truth as long as love has not kindled a light within you which will be able to illuminate you from within, thereby enabling you to recognise the truth as such .... However, you must attain the truth, otherwise you will live your earthly life blindly and be incapable of grasping any correlations. Love grants you the light, that is, if love is in you then you will be in heartfelt contact with Me, and then I Myself will enlighten you and you will not be able to help yourself but think correctly, you will understand everything and you will by no means be ignorant; however, without love you will never be able to be or to become knowledgeable, for only love is the light which guides you into truth .... and without love you will forever remain in darkness ....

Amen

What is love? .... Changing selfish love into neighbourly love ....

B.D. 8032 from November 4th 1961, taken from Book No. 84

And time and again you are reminded to live a life of love. For love is the strength that redeems you, love is the path which leads to Me, love is My fundamental element, and therefore anyone who lives in love is intimately connected with Me, because he inevitably draws Me, Who is love Himself, close to himself .... But what does it mean to live a life of love in accordance with My will? ....

You should change selfish love, which is your nature at the beginning of your incarnation as a human being, into selfless neighbourly love, that is, you have to change the demanding, wanting-to-own love into selfless, giving, wanting-to-please love, which alone can be called 'divine love'. For My adversary knew how to change this divine love within you into the opposite, how to instil the desire for anti-divine things, he knew how to arouse longings in you humans which you sought to fulfil; he has lowered selfish love into your heart, and you have to try to change it again during the time of your earthly life into divine, selfless love.

And thus you should practice unselfish neighbourly love; you should think less about yourselves and take a personal interest in your fellow human beings' fate instead .... You should make people happy and emanate sincere love, for only this love is divine; it is the love which connects us again in time and eternity. For this reason people's attention should repeatedly be drawn to their earthly task of shaping themselves into love; time and again they should be reminded of My commandments of love, and at the same time they should be informed of the effect a life of love has for the human being's soul, they should also be given the reason why I require love from people .... it should be explained to them that they had fallen into the abyss because they had rejected My love, because they had left My order, because they had placed themselves outside of My flow of love and thus also turned their nature into the opposite. People have to be instructed of the fact that strength of love also guarantees 'life', whereas without love the being is dead albeit it lives an illusive life as a human being .... They should know that they live on earth in order to acquire eternal life for themselves, and that eternal life also requires a degree of love which necessitates a conscious struggle against selfish love. The human being should know that the 'love' I want should only ever be understood as the selfless, giving and wanting-to-please love. And if he now aims to change his nature into love he will then also soon experience the effectiveness of divine love .... he will learn to understand everything, he will become enlightened, he will emerge from spiritual darkness, he will arrive at the 'understanding', he will be permeated by My spirit and be able to teach, for his inner realisation will give him the ability to transfer it to a fellow human being, although he, too, first must have reached this enlightened spiritual state due to his deeds of love in order to muster the understanding for it .... in order to recognise the conveyed knowledge as truth.

Love has to result in a clear spiritual state, otherwise the fulfilment of My commandment of love will only ever be feigned by words but the evidence will fail to materialise itself. Love comes first, love is the Divine, love is the fire which irrevocably will also radiate light .... Thus wisdom has to be recognisable where true love is practised, so that a person's reasoning is correct, so that an inner light is kindled within him and he then will also speak with wisdom, because the spirit in him expresses itself, because I Am able to speak through him Myself and My Words are truly light and life and provide evidence of most profound wisdom. And thus the effect of a life of love has to be identifiable, for 'whoever remains in love remains in Me and I in him ....' and thus My spirit works wherever I can be, and this expresses itself such that you will truly no longer doubt My presence ....

Amen

A forthcoming natural event ....

B.D. 8033 from November 5th 1961, taken from Book No. 84

In the foreseeable future you will experience the truth of My Word, for I will express Myself through the forces of nature, as I have constantly forewarned .... And you will not be able to ignore My voice, for it will resound powerfully and throw the world into chaos .... Although the region of the event will indeed be limited it will still be of such enormous proportions that everyone will be alarmed once he is informed of it .... For, at first, all communications to the affected areas will be cut off .... An eerie silence will engulf the disaster zone because all contact is lost until the first horror has passed. And then the world will be informed of what has happened, before it receives the news of the disastrous details.

However, people have to be sharply spoken to by Me because they refuse to listen to My gentle voice, because they don't believe My Word which is sent from above and conveyed to them by My messengers. Hence, I have to express Myself such that My voice cannot be ignored .... And I have to send a judgment on humanity to which many people will fall victim but who may nevertheless receive My love and grace due to their untimely death. And thus you shall recognise the truth of My Word and activate your will, for even after the disaster you can still make a free decision since I force no one to turn to Me .... Yet the appalling natural event can contribute towards people finding their way to Me, because the adversity is extreme and there is no obvious rescue from any side. But what appears to be impossible is possible to Me .... And if a person remembers this and calls upon Me in spirit and in truth he may also experience miraculous help .... I will so manifestly reveal Myself to him, that he will recognise the might and also the love of his God and Creator and then turn to Me in profound faith and humble submission.

Anything that can still bring souls back to Me will be done by Me, but I also know how difficult it is to win them over and therefore extraordinary means of deliverance have to be used, which seem cruel to you humans and yet are only an activity of love on My part in order to save the very souls whose state is known to Me. I don't want to let them fall into My adversary's hands, who will provide them with a far worse fate than the greatest earthly suffering could ever manage .... Believe Me, no matter what happens, no matter what is permitted by Me, I Am only ever motivated by My love .... I watch over every person's fate, no one is too unimportant or too immature for Me, I care for all of you who are presently living on earth as human beings, because I want to help you reach final perfection on earth, because I want to protect you from the fate of a new banishment and only ever want you to turn your thoughts to Me, so that you will escape the final downfall .... to be placed once more into the creations of the new earth.

And irrespective of how disastrous My intervention is for the people of the affected regions .... it is justified by My love for you, for from a spiritual point of view it is just a rescue mission and not an act of condemnation .... Your earthly loss is irrelevant compared to the gain which your souls can achieve .... And if you have to lose your life then you may also depend on My mercy, which provides you with the opportunity in the kingdom of the beyond to become enlightened and to ascend .... For on earth you would, with certainty, have fallen prey to My adversary, and from this I want to protect those of you whom I recognise as still being capable of change. For there is only a short time left before the end, and this end will come soon afterwards. Yet, prior to this I still want to give you a sign, a final admonition and warning which, although it will painfully intervene in untold people's lives, shall strengthen the faith in My Word, so that they can prepare themselves for the end, which will not take long to follow ....

Amen

The significance of realisation ....

B.D. 8034 from November 6th 1961, taken from Book No. 84

I will talk to you time and again, My children, for I know that you require My Word which shall give you the strength for your path of earthly life. You should always know that I Am present with you if just one thought from you is touching Me, if you wish to be in contact with Me. And when I Am present with you My strength also has to flow into you. Your soul needs this strength in order to mature fully, and this is why you will always achieve progress if you let Me speak to you .... the light permeating you has to become increasingly brighter, and that also means ever more profound realisation, it means progressive knowledge, it means clarity of thought and a correctly directed will. My speaking to you will guarantee this, for the strength flowing from Me to you has to take effect and thus bear witness of itself in the form of increased wisdom. And all you humans should desire light, you should all try to escape from the spiritual darkness and request more spiritual information. For in what ignorant state did you enter life on earth? .... And although your intellect begins to become active .... can you penetrate spiritual spheres with it? Dense darkness remains in you, and all spiritual concepts remain unresolved and indistinct as long as you don't feel the desire to receive an explanation. And until you do, the purpose of your earthly life will also remain unknown to you and you will be dead in spirit, despite the fact that you live physically .... And can you be satisfied if you have no knowledge at all about the reason and purpose of your earthly life? Are you content with your lightless existence on this earth with only earthly goals to strive for?

This state of darkness is not a happy state, and you should recognise it as unsatisfactory yourselves and try to receive an inner light, for only then will the unsatisfactory state change, and you will experience inner happiness when you receive the knowledge which explains to you the purpose of your earthly life. You should request such enlightenment and therefore also pay attention to My Words which are given to you by My messengers, if you are not yet able to hear Me directly. You should endeavour to enlarge your spiritual knowledge, for this knowledge is the light which was lacking in you at the beginning of your embodiment but which can be kindled and then shine brightly within your hearts .... For the light is emanated by My spirit, the tiny spark of love which, as part of Me, rests within you and has to be ignited by yourselves through love .... Thus love irrefutably has to result in wisdom .... the result of a life of love irrefutably has to make profound knowledge accessible to you, for the 'fire of love' emanates the 'light of wisdom' .... Your spiritual state will have to become bright, the spiritual darkness will have to disappear, you will have to become able to recognise all correlations, you will have to learn to understand Myself and My reign and activity, and you will have to be able to offer explanations yourself, because then I can be active in you Myself and thus you will only think, act and speak in accordance with My will ....

The degree of realisation is decisive for the degree of maturity of soul, for I do not speak of dead knowledge which is academically passed on to you, but I speak of living knowledge which is the only meaning of 'realisation'. I speak about the 'Wisdom of God', which can only be gained through love, which can only come to earth through the 'working of the spirit' and is received by a heart which allows rays of bright light to enter it because it is full of love .... It is only given by love and only love will receive it .... whereas the same knowledge remains dead knowledge for the person who still lacks love. And you all should endeavour for the light of realisation to illuminate you, for only then will you approach the state of the brightest light again, which made you happy in the beginning and which you all have to reach in order to be happy again ....

Amen

Wrong image of God .... Misguided teachings ....

B.D. 8035 from November 7th 1961, taken from Book No. 84

What kind of distorted image of My Being do you get when I Am portrayed to you as a God of wrath and vengeance, as a strict judge without mercy, Who only punishes and condemns and never shows mercy .... You can only be fearful of such a God, you will be obedient to him because of fear, you will also observe his commandments only for fear of punishment but you can never love him in the way I want to be loved by you .... Consequently, as long as you are presented with such an image of Myself you are not walking in truth, you are still in spiritual darkness and will hardly achieve your goal to find unification with Me .... Because only love can achieve this, and you can hardly feel love for a Being that is presented to you in such a way. I, however, want to win your love, only your complete trust will do, I want to be recognized by you as a faithful Father Who wants to be closely linked to His children because of love. And that is why you must also have the right image of Me, you have to be given the truth about My Being Which is love, wisdom and power in Itself .... Which is supremely perfect and Which you can love in return when you feel embraced by My love, which eternally is intended for you ....

You can only fear a God who punishes you when you have offended, you cannot love him .... I, however, don't punish you but only ever help you to escape your sinful state and bestow you with strength and mercy to achieve it. And I will never cast into the abyss what has become sinful, I will never condemn it but always attempt to lift it from the depth because I take pity on it since it has taken the path into the depth itself .... And all methods which I use to lift again what has fallen, what has become sinful, are evidence of My love and not acts of punishment which are incompatible with My infinite love .... You need never believe teachings which portray Me as an avenging and punishing God .... And therefore you may certainly reject the teaching of eternal condemnation because I never condemn a living creation .... but it has desired the depth of its own free will and eternally I only want to release it from the depth again. However, that My justice may not be abolished should explain to you that I cannot give happiness to a being which has voluntarily distanced itself from Me and desired the depth ....

But when you think of Me you should always regard Me as a benevolent, exceedingly affectionate Father Who is always willing to give you His love but Who, due to His perfection, cannot act regardless of eternal order .... Nevertheless, the path to Me is always available to the being .... Even those who have fallen to the lowest point need only longingly stretch their hands out to Me and I will take hold of them and lift them up because My love and My mercy are so great that I overlook every guilt if the being surrenders to Me voluntarily .... Then I can delete the guilt, because for that reason I had shed My blood in the man Jesus, thus the guilt has been paid for as justice demands. And if My Being is described to you in all truthfulness you will not find it difficult to take the path to Me voluntarily ....

But you will give little love to a God Whom you must fear and thus the pure truth has to be given to you .... spiritual knowledge which gives you clear information about Me, your God and Creator, Who wants to be your Father .... Because misguided teachings cannot lead you into happiness. Consequently they have to be denounced since they originate from My adversary who wants to keep you in darkness of spirit .... who will do anything to prevent you from finding your way to Me .... who places fear of Me into the human hearts to stop love from appearing which unites the child with the Father .... I, however, want your love and will therefore repeatedly bring you the truth about Myself and My Being, and you will be happy when you live in the truth ....

Amen

Entrance into the kingdom of light without Jesus Christ? ....

B.D. 8036 from November 8th 1961, taken from Book No. 84

Your father's love for His children is unlimited .... And this love will also grant you the requests you present to Me because it wants to make you happy. You should only ever ask and I will answer you. And if it is not possible to address you directly then you will receive an answer through My messengers who serve Me as instruments and whom I can address at any time if they want to hear Me. And thus you shall also receive information if you are moved by the question whether a person can enter the kingdom of light without acknowledging Jesus Christ if his way of life has been led in constant compliance with My commandments of love. Since I embodied Myself in the human being Jesus and thus accomplished the act of salvation in Him, this acknowledgement of Jesus is indispensable because it also results in the acknowledgement of Me, which you once denied Me and thus became apostate to Me. If a person now lives in love, then he is also united with Me through love .... thus he will acknowledge a God and creator and also establish the connection with Him in his thoughts .... he will believe in Me because his way of life, his life of love, has awakened a living faith in him which makes him consciously strive for perfection, for constant union with Me .... And yet, he is still burdened with the original sin which, for the sake of justice, first has to be atoned for in order to be accepted into the kingdom of light again. If the human being knows this and knows that the man Jesus atoned for his guilt with His crucifixion, then his life of love will also let him recognize the significance of the act of salvation and he will take the path to the cross himself in order to release his original sin. And then the gates into the kingdom of light will also be open to him. If the original sin has not yet been redeemed .... which includes the conscious request for forgiveness of sin .... then the spirit in the human being cannot be awakened either, which gives him the brightest knowledge .... For the spiritual darkness still exists, which was the result of the former apostasy from God .... For the spirit within him kindles a bright light for him about the mission of the man Jesus and about His becoming one with Me. The awakening of the spirit is indeed always the effect of a life of love but it is prevented by the human being himself who does not seek to free himself from the darkness imposed on him by the adversary .... because he does not desire the sole truth .... The spirit in the human being does not force a change of thinking, and thinking is still influenced by the adversary as long as the human being is not yet redeemed through Jesus Christ .... because the adversary's power over his soul has not yet been broken. Yet such people can never go astray because they inwardly profess Me through their God-pleasing way of life, in whatever form and under whatever name I can be imagined to them .... And when they enter the kingdom of the beyond I Myself will meet them in Jesus .... A mighty change takes place in them because I now give their spirit freedom, because My adversary no longer has access to him, even though he is not yet in the kingdom of light .... But he now recognizes his guilt, his wrong thinking, and the request for forgiveness is his deepest inner need, which is also granted to him in view of his way of life and good will .... For all resistance is broken in such a soul, love pushes towards Me as the eternal love, and brightly and clearly lies before those souls the immeasurable work of love and mercy of Jesus Christ, Whom they now recognize as their God and father from eternity and also their original sin is now written in the sand, that the entrance into the kingdom of light is now open for them, which would not be possible without the recognition of Jesus and His act of salvation .... For He and I are one, and Jesus Christ must be acknowledged, which also proves the acknowledgement of Myself ....

Amen

Test all things and keep what is good ....

B.D. 8037 from November 9th 1961, taken from Book No. 84

The will to serve Me is assessed. Then I will assign to a person the work he is capable of accomplishing and which will always be a blessing for him and his fellow human beings. But they, too, must pay attention to the inner instructions; they may not act according to their own will, which can easily happen if they want to be renowned for their activity and thus very easily endanger their vineyard work. The most profound humility and a feeling of personal inadequacy must always make them take flight to Me, so that they will hand themselves over to Me .... They must only ever strive to fulfil My will, and truly, they will feel My will in their heart and work accordingly. And everyone who wants to be of service to Me must examine himself in order to support Me and My kingdom convincingly .... For the vineyard work consists of sowing good seeds in the field of people's lives: of proclaiming My Word wherever this is possible. And in order to be able to pass something on, the human must possess it first .... thus he first must accept the seed from Me Myself, and this requires willingness and a certain degree of maturity of soul. Only then will he be able to hear My Word within himself and carry this as the pure Gospel into the world. Where My pure Word can be conveyed to Earth this degree of maturity has been attained; the human being receives the right seeds which he can unhesitatingly spread according to My will .... But it will always be left up to you to scrutinise whether the spiritual knowledge has originated from Me Myself, whether the 'working of the spirit' in a person can be spoken of. And your heart must give you the answer, for you will feel when I speak to you, providing you sincerely desire the truth .... providing you want to hear Me. I will always express Myself such that your soul will profit from the information you hear. I will admonish you with kindness and mention My commandments of love, I will caution you not to waste your life, which will always happen if you live without love .... I will enlighten you about your purpose of earthly life .... I will emphasise Jesus' act of Salvation and advise you to take the path to the cross .... I will dispel your spiritual darkness by kindling a light in you. And that means that I will convey knowledge to you which can only be imparted upon you by My spirit. Make the test as to whether you profit from it spiritually .... whether they are empty Words without meaning which leave you unimpressed, which any person can say, or whether they radiate wisdom .... For every Word which comes forth from Me Myself emanates My love and wisdom and touches the human heart such that it will escape the spiritual darkness, that it will kindle a light in his heart, that the human being will learn to recognise Me Myself in My nature, that he will receive an answer to the inner questions concerning spiritual spheres and which occupy him as a human being.

My spirit will always express itself when I Am able to address a person directly, and this spirit speaks to the spirit within the person, which is part of Me. This Word is received and conveyed by the recipient to his fellow human beings .... This process is something extremely significant; after all, it gives evidence of My presence to you if you hear My Word within you .... And because My Word is blessed with My strength, it will also have a powerful effect on the people to whom My messenger brings it .... But you should not forget that in the end time even this extraordinary activity of love of Mine will be feigned by My well disguised adversary in order to undermine My working .... that he, too, will try to express himself through suitable vessels and that he will be successful if a soul's state of maturity does not permit My presence as yet but that the person will deem himself called to serve as a vessel, because forces in the beyond instilled such thoughts in him and he accepted them in spiritual arrogance and wrong judgment of his spiritual state. In that case I cannot speak through him; instead, My adversary, who often also hides himself behind My Word, will avail himself of him; for he will go to any length in order to achieve his goal .... to keep people in spiritual darkness. But you must always earnestly conduct this examination by calling upon My support, for you ought to test all things and keep what is good .... And you must always become enlightened; otherwise you cannot speak of a 'divine' Word .... And light signifies increased spiritual knowledge which corresponds to truth and which only I Myself, the Light of eternity, can convey to you ....

Amen

Outpouring of the spirit before the death on the cross? ....

B.D. 8038 from November 11th 1961, taken from Book No. 84

You should receive information about everything that moves your thoughts, for lack of clarity can easily lead to wrong thinking, and My own shall always walk in truth and be allowed to enjoy it. Again and again I have to tell you that the working of My spirit in you humans only became possible after My crucifixion because My adversary's power had not yet been broken before, who had plunged you into spiritual darkness and also kept you in spiritual darkness as long as he still had power over you. This is so easily understandable, for the apostasy from Me resulted in the darkening of the spirit, you rejected My light of love and thus lost all knowledge. Only through this original sin was the kingdom of darkness created, and only Jesus Christ's death on the cross broke the power of the one who had caused the darkness. My spirit's working in the human being could therefore only be possible once he had found redemption through Jesus Christ, once he was free from My adversary .... Only then could My light shine into the human being again and illuminate his spirit .... Only then can I Myself work in him through My spirit .... Thus the human being must freely accept the graces of the act of salvation, which necessitates the recognition of the act of salvation and the recognition of Myself in Jesus. Living faith is necessary, for a dead knowledge of Jesus Christ and His act of salvation cannot be regarded as 'faith' .... The human being must recognize himself as being burdened with guilt, know about his original sin and believe that Jesus suffered for the sake of this guilt and died on the cross in unspeakable pain and torture .... And he must want to belong to those for whom the man Jesus shed His blood on the cross. Living faith in this is indispensable in order to also find the forgiveness of his guilt, which makes the detachment from My adversary and thereby also the working of My spirit possible. The guilt of sin was redeemed through the death on the cross, but before that it burdened the whole of humanity, and no soul entered the kingdom of light before Jesus' death on the cross, even though people on earth lived a life according to My will .... Yet their stay in the beyond was free from torment and earthly bondage, they lived in harmony and in expectation of Him, of Whom they knew that He would fetch them to Himself into His kingdom of light and bliss .... For the Messiah had been proclaimed to them on earth, and their undoubted faith in Him also earned them the knowledge of His mission .... For they were also joined by beings of light who voluntarily walked the path through the abyss in order to attain childship to God. These beings of light were unburdened by original sin and My spirit was able to work in them because they certainly passed through the darkness but were not at the mercy of My adversary's power .... And their abundance of light also conveyed to them the knowledge of the coming Messiah, and thus they were also able to influence their fellow human beings and be active for the blessing of those on earth. And these also returned to the kingdom of light after their death, which they had voluntarily left in order to help people on earth and announce the coming redeemer to them, in order to fulfil a prophetic mission which presupposes the working of My spirit and thus could only be fulfilled by those beings of light or by people who were 'driven' by My 'spirit' .... who had to express what My spirit inwardly impelled them to do .... which, however, is not to be confused with the 'working of My spirit in the human being', which was only possible after My crucifixion. Believe Me that everything has to proceed according to the law of eternal order and that the original sin of the once fallen beings was an offence against My eternal order .... that no divine activity is possible in this state if I Myself do not want to violate My law. And this will not happen eternally, for I am and remain eternally unchanging .... But I have always maintained the connection with the dark kingdom through mediators, through people whose souls descended (themselves) from above to earth in order to radiate light on My behalf, and those who accepted the light were also blessed by their earthly life as a human being, and they also acknowledged the divine redeemer in the kingdom of the departed, and they entered the kingdom of light and bliss as redeemed when the work of redemption was accomplished, when the guilt of sin of the whole of humanity was redeemed and the path to Me was now free ....

Conditions for attaining the truth ....

B.D. 8039 from November 13th 1961, taken from Book No. 84

And you should always remember that the truth always and forever remains the same. Just as I Myself am unchanging because My nature is supremely perfect, so the truth also remains unchanged, for it belongs to My nature, or also: I am the eternal truth Myself. And thus it may well be possible that you give a different meaning to a truth conveyed to you by Me if you yourselves are still unawakened in spirit .... that you thus distort the truth yourselves and then think erroneously. Yet I will always ensure that the truth will always be guided purely to earth again, and it will only ever depend on your will, on your attitude towards Me and thus also towards the truth, whether you now live in truth. But as long as people intellectually try to fathom that which cannot be proven because it concerns spiritual knowledge, there will also be different opinions about it, and as long as this is the case the 'absolute' truth cannot be spoken of, which, however, may be taken possession of by the person who chooses the spiritual path .... the path to Me, Who can and will now introduce you to truth through the spirit, as I have promised .... For it is My will that all of you humans should live in truth. Therefore I will also seize every opportunity to convey it to you. Yet I cannot deviate from the conditions which have to be fulfilled in order to be able to move in truth. A battle is being waged in the spiritual kingdom, a battle of light against darkness, but which the human being himself brings to an end on earth. My adversary once dragged the beings down into darkness because he was devoid of all love .... I, as the eternal love, want to lead you to the light again, because light alone makes you happy, because darkness is an unfortunate state for the being which once emerged from the light .... But since the being voluntarily strived towards darkness it must now, as a human being, voluntarily seek the light .... which therefore means desire for light, desire for truth. Then it confesses to Me that the state of lightlessness is unbearable to it and that it wants to escape this darkness. And this serious will is the guarantee that he will be introduced to truth. And he will not need to use his intellect, his heart will be illuminated from within, he will feel the truth and accept it without any inner resistance. But you humans must also bear in mind that you can only be introduced to the truth by Me.... that you may not exclude Me Myself if you want to possess the truth. For even if the pure truth is conveyed to you by fellow human beings .... you do not recognize it as truth as long as you still keep your distance from Me, as long as you have not yet entered into a bond with Me, because this is also the law of eternity, that truth cannot be thought of without Me .... For I am Truth Itself .... This is why unbelieving people cannot stand in the truth, for their thinking will be confused and erroneous as long as My adversary still controls it, who is where I cannot be .... Hence it is also understandable that the heartfelt bond with Me is necessary in order to be able to work in the human being through My spirit .... which then truly instructs the human being from within in all truth, so that light will arise and the darkness, which is the sign of My adversary's power, will depart from the human being as long as the human being does not try to liberate himself through a conscious bond with Me. Only truth can ever emanate from Me, but My adversary seeks to undermine it .... And the fact that you now have to settle this battle yourselves will be and remain your earthly task, for you once followed My adversary into the abyss, you voluntarily chose darkness .... you must now also voluntarily strive towards the light again, so that light will truly become yours if you sincerely ask Me for it ....

Amen

Bonding with God .... thoughts .... prayer .... work of love ....

B.D. 8040 from November 14th 1961, taken from Book No. 84

Make contact with Me and I will truly no longer leave you out, I will no longer leave your side, I will guide you to your aim because then I will possess your will which is for Me .... I only want you to turn your thoughts to Him Who created you .... I only want you not to walk thoughtlessly through earthly life and only pay attention to the earthly world .... I want your thoughts to occasionally wander into the kingdom which you cannot see and which cannot be proven to you but which nevertheless exists and is everlasting, whereas the earthly world is a transient kingdom of which you cannot take possession forever. And since you know that you will have to die, that your life in this world will not last forever, you should also think about what will happen to you afterwards, and you should ask yourselves whether you yourselves will also perish completely or whether it will be possible for your actual self to become a living being .... for your soul .... there is a continuation of existence. If you seriously ask this question I will also answer it by giving your thoughts a direction which corresponds to the truth .... For I want to bless every spiritual thought if it is not negatively directed, because I want you to think correctly. But you can also establish the bond with Me through loving activity, even if you don't consciously acknowledge Me as yet, if your faith in a God Who wants to be your father is still weak or completely lacking .... As soon as you live a life of love your resistance will become weaker and weaker if spiritual knowledge is imparted to you which gives you knowledge of Me, your God and creator, Who seeks contact with you .... Love is the bond which joins us together; love is the light which illuminates your thinking; and love is the strength to be able to live a life according to My will .... And the latter means working in love again, which will inevitably awaken a living faith in you in Me, your God and creator of eternity. Your earthly life will never be an idle one if you unite with Me through thoughts, in prayer or through loving activity. For you shall only establish the bond with Me and you will be saved for time and eternity. For it was you yourselves who loosened this bond with Me and broke it off through your own will ..... But you are unhappy as long as you keep your distance from Me .... But I want your bliss and thus also your return to Me, I want you to unite with Me again .... and then you will also have escaped My adversary's power, for the will towards Me makes you free from him .... The serious will towards Me also soon earns you a light, and in this light you now also consciously walk the path which leads back into your father's house. However, anyone who refrains from any bond with Me, who only sees and desires the earthly world, his life will be an idle one, and he will stand on the same level at the end of his earthly life as he stood on at the beginning of his embodiment as a human being .... And there is a great danger that he will not take the path of ascent in the kingdom of the beyond either but will always sink more and more into the abyss and be banished into matter again when a period of redemption comes to an end and the 'judgment' comes .... where all spiritual substances will be transferred to where they belong according to their state of maturity .... I want to save all of you humans from this last 'judgment', I want to help you to find the path to Me before the end, and I will truly still do everything to inspire your hearts to love, to prompt you to earnest prayer to Me or to turn your thoughts towards the one Who gave you life .... I only want you to remember Me, to call upon Me so that I can take you by the hand, so that I can guide you until the end of your life .... Just seek to establish the bond with Me and truly, you will be saved for time and eternity. But don't live thoughtlessly into the day, for you only have a very short period of grace left which you should make use of for your soul's salvation .... I don't want to lose you, but you have free will .... Direct it correctly and turn it towards Me, and truly, it will only be a blessing for you ....

Amen
