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.

Testing the spirits .... The adversary's activity during the last days ....

B.D. 8220 from July 22nd 1962, taken from Book No. 87

This much you should know, My adversary interferes wherever he can because it is the time of the end .... His activity can be detected wherever ambiguity reigns, wherever there is confusion and where disagreements arise amongst people, which are always triggered by the one who is your enemy and My opponent. And where you notice discord between people you will also know that he is active there in order to endanger your spiritual progress, for there is no light to illuminate the darkness either .... He will even try to plunge My Own into confusion, although they all want what is right and believe themselves to work according to My will. For once they are brightly enlightened by Me he will surely try to obscure the light or even extinguish it completely. And then you will need great strength and have to request it from Me in order to enable you to resist him if he puts you under pressure or tries to push you back into darkness .... But everyone has power over him if it is his heartfelt desire to belong to Me and through actions of love allows Me to be present so that I Myself can protect him from My adversary. You can recognise how he tries to assert himself by the fact that he chooses human vessels for himself to influence them accordingly and to misuse My name in order to credibly portray his disgraceful intentions as 'My working' .... And this will particularly distinctly manifest itself during the time of the end. Although I announced that I will pour out My spirit over all flesh .... he will specifically make use of this promise by arrogantly daring to spread falsehood amongst people under the cover of 'divine' activity. And people thoughtlessly accept everything, yet their heartfelt bond with Me will always enable them to recognise whether it is Mine or My adversary's work. For they will feel an inner objection to all that which is not 'the working of My spirit'. But you humans should also be careful and not thoughtlessly accept everything as truth, for he disguises himself well, because he will use all means in order to regain the souls he has lost, which had already granted Me their will and which I will therefore not let fall .... I must clarify this to you, after all, you humans accept much as coming from Me which, in fact, comes from My adversary, but I will always grant you enlightenment too and guide your thoughts correctly if you seriously want this ....

However, you must also always make an effort to recognise that which is right, since through your desire for the pure truth you also entitle Me to impart it to you. 'I shall pour out My spirit upon all flesh, and servants and handmaidens shall prophesy ....' This is the promise I gave you and therefore it must come true .... And it will indeed come true .... Nevertheless, you humans have to make the test yourselves .... After all, you will have to admit that much has already been presented to you as 'coming from Me' which you recognised as being wrong and misleading. You will have to admit that the lying spirit has often been caught out and that these vessels nevertheless look upon themselves as My servants and handmaidens .... Consider how many contradictions have been identified and how the pure truth was thereby endangered by them time and again .... And if you want to accept everything that is offered to you especially during these last days as 'the outpouring of spirit upon servants and handmaidens' .... your thinking would become very confused and one could hardly speak of a 'light from above' .... You should examine everything seriously and appeal to My spirit for it. And if you genuinely want to know the truth then you will truly recognise where My adversary is at work. For the fact that My adversary avails himself of My name is no guarantee that you receive the truth; he has great power at the end and uses cunning and trickery to fight against the pure truth; he wants to extinguish the light from above or obscure it and will always find a weakness in a person where he can slip in if the person has not yet entirely discarded the hereditary evil, if he still harbours a small spark of arrogance in his soul .... if the person would still like to be important and present himself as a vessel for My spirit which, however, he can only become when profound humility fills his heart .... For I only bestow My grace upon the humble. And I work in seclusion, but people who are in contact with one of My chosen vessels recognise Me in every Word spoken by this person to his fellow human beings .... I Myself will place the Words into the mouth of those who speak on behalf of Me and My name and who serve Me in the last days, whom I consider to be suitable to be of service to Me as servants and handmaidens according to My will ....

Amen

Limitation of knowledge ....

B.D. 8221 from July 23rd 1962, taken from Book No. 87

The knowledge you can receive from Me is inexhaustible, yet your soul must have reached a certain degree of maturity so that you are receptive to it, so that you can accept it and also understand it .... Spiritual realms can be opened up to you which would make you unspeakably happy but which require a certain degree of realization and therefore your degree of love has to be very high in order to grasp the depth and wisdom of My work and activity. For your earthly life, however, knowledge is already sufficient which proves to you the love, wisdom and power of a God and creator and which explains your relationship to this God and creator, for then it is also possible for you to live your earthly life consciously, conscious of your responsibility and conscious of your task .... Yet you can constantly increase your knowledge, for no limits are set for you by Me, you only have to let the light of love in you become a bright flame yourselves, and to the same extent your inner enlightenment will also grow, for only your degree of love determines your knowledge and the degree of your realization. Thus you yourselves set limits for Me if My spiritual spark in you can only shine in a certain strength .... if its working in you is limited by your still deficient degree of love and maturity .... But you yourselves can also transcend every limit of your knowledge and attain the deepest realization if you let the love within you grow into the brightest glow .... Then I will distribute spiritual goods to you without measure, I will guide you into truth and everything will be well understandable to you, you will also be allowed to receive and pass on profound truths, but the sphere in which both the recipient as well as the person to whom such spiritual knowledge is imparted must always be filled with love, because only a purified sphere can receive My ray of light of love .... because love itself can only express itself to love. The wisdom from Me is unlimited .... And the degree of perfection determines the limits which therefore the human being sets for himself as long as he is not yet filled with love .... I give you humans much when I impart knowledge to you about your purpose of existence and your task and when I initiate you into all correlations and your relationship with your God and creator .... But you could still experience far more and feel endless happiness .... But I work according to the law of eternal order, and I keep to the limits which the will of man himself has drawn .... But I am also always willing to increase My gifts of grace if you humans tear down the limits yourselves, if you develop love within yourselves such that the light within you becomes ever stronger and you then also become receptive to deeper knowledge, because then you will also be able to understand everything for which an increased light of love has to shine within you. But whatever comes to you through the working of My spirit will always pull you out of the darkness of spirit .... You can possess earthly goods in abundance and yet it can be dark around you as long as you don't have love within you, which is the light that signifies an unheard-of grace for every human being, because he is not yet perfect on earth and therefore also does not have clarity within himself, his origin and his goal .... But I give you a light because I don't want you to perish in darkness and because I want to show you the right path which leads out of darkness into light .... Yet this knowledge can only be given to you in a limited way, but you can receive profound knowledge in all truth at any time if your free will strives for it .... And truly, you will feel overwhelming happiness if you seriously strive for perfection and thereby also give Me the opportunity to introduce you ever deeper into truth, to help you gain knowledge which then can never be taken away from you, which is and remains your spiritual wealth and which you now also take over into eternity, into the kingdom which is your true home .... the kingdom where there is light and freedom and bliss ....

Amen

Jesus has satisfied God's justice ....

B.D. 8222 from July 24th 1962, taken from Book No. 87

Your separation from Me would have lasted forever had I not accomplished the act of Salvation for you by taking your guilt upon Myself and redeeming it through the sacrifice on the cross, which I accomplished through the man Jesus on earth .... An unbridgeable gulf existed between the kingdom of light and that of darkness .... You would never have been able to overcome this gulf yourselves, My kingdom was closed to you forever because My justice would have been unable to accept you, who had become sinful as a result of your apostasy, until the immense sin had been atoned for. This sacrifice of atonement was rendered by Jesus, the human being, in Whom I Myself took abode, because His untainted human shell allowed for it, for I would never have been able to embody Myself in a sinful person .... Thus a soul of light had to descend to earth voluntarily in order to make

Amends for its fallen brothers for the sake of My justice, which could not be bypassed according to the law of eternity .... I Am a perfect Being, Which is indeed Love in Itself, but without justice I cannot possibly be called a supremely perfect Being. And Jesus, the human being, satisfied this justice through the sacrifice on the cross, which was offered by a soul of light with the intention of returning the fallen living creations back to Me, in order to build a bridge from the realm of darkness into the kingdom of light. However, I Myself dwelled in the man Jesus, for Love accomplished the act of Salvation, Which utterly permeated the man Jesus and also gave Him the strength to take the most severe suffering and pain upon Himself, to walk the path to the cross with all of humanity's guilt of sin and to lay down His life for this guilt .... Had this Love not been present in Him, He truly would have been unable to make such a sacrifice .... And I Myself was this Love ....

I took abode in Jesus' shell, I .... the greatest Spirit of eternity .... manifested Myself in Him, I pervaded Him with My fundamental nature of love; My love utterly permeated Him, the human shell merely curtailed the working of My strength of love when He took the final path to the cross, where Jesus, the man, suffered incredibly and died the most bitter death on the cross in order to atone for the sin of the once fallen beings .... I dwelled in Him and He voluntarily accomplished the act of deifying His soul, which is the final goal of all My created beings .... He had totally merged with Me, He was I and I was Him .... I had become a human being, He had become God, for He was totally permeated by My love, and love is My fundamental substance .... Jesus' crucifixion absolved the great guilt and opened up the path for you humans into the kingdom of light .... However, you are not instantly redeemed, because your free will caused your apostasy from Me and thus free will must also be willing to return to Me; you must become aware of your past guilt and appeal to Me in Jesus for forgiveness, or you will remain burdened by your guilt and your entry into the kingdom of light will be denied to you. Time and again you humans are informed of Jesus Christ and His act of Salvation and the spiritual mission of Jesus, the man, is explained and substantiated to you. Even so, you must believe it, for you cannot be given any evidence apart from the fact that you .... once you have found redemption through Jesus Christ .... will gain complete understanding of it yourselves, because, as a result of the redemption through Jesus Christ, the working of My spirit will not be prevented, which will subsequently guide you into all truth, and this is the certain proof that you have been redeemed from your original sin .... But first you must take the path to the cross of your own free will, you must be willing to do so and want to belong to the circle of those who were redeemed through Jesus' blood .... and then you will truly accept and make use of the blessings of the act of Salvation. Then you will be on the path of return to Me, you will have stepped onto the bridge which Jesus built for you so that you can find admittance into the kingdom of light and bliss, and whose gate was opened for you through the act of Salvation by Jesus .... within Whom I Myself dwelled and became a visible God for you so that one day you would be able to behold Me face to face ....

Amen

God's infinite Fatherly love ....

B.D. 8223 from July 25th 1962, taken from Book No. 87

I want you to establish a relationship with Me like a child with its Father, showing Me love and trust and always being certain that I will help you and never doubting My love. By merely gaining firm faith in My love you will always come to Me like children to the Father, presenting all your difficulties and worries to Me and appealing for My help .... And I will help you .... For I also want to gain your love, because then you will strive towards Me again, Whom you once left of your own free will. Hence you should not let any adversity get you down, instead, present it to Me, your Father of eternity, with complete trust and, truly, you will receive the Father's help, since My love for you is far more profound than any earthly father's love. But precisely the realisation of My infinitely deep love is lacking in you, and thus you doubt and hesitate .... Nevertheless, you once emerged from My love and should firmly believe that you will remain connected to Me for all eternity .... Even if your free will strove away from Me a long time ago, it was unable to sever the bond, otherwise you would have ceased to exist. But that which was once created by Me is everlasting, although temporarily separated from Me of its own will. And it is precisely this free will that you should give to Me by coming to Me with every request and thus entering into the right relationship again which existed between Me and you in the very beginning and which made you indescribably happy. Whenever you think of Me you should always be certain that My love will instantly give itself to you, that I will illuminate you, which you enable Me to do on account of your thoughts being inclined towards Me .... Then you should become convinced of the fact that I Am only interested in your well-being, that I want to shower you with spiritual and physical gifts of grace and only ever require your open hearts .... your inclination towards Me .... which allows Me to take effect in you. My love for you is unlimited and will never end, and therefore I also yearn for you, My living creations, to return to Me as 'children' .... to learn to recognise Me, your Father of eternity, during your earthly progress. And I really make every effort to provide you with a true impression of Me, of My Being and My love for you, so that you can also love this Being with all your heart and with every sense .... I yearned for this love ever since you fell away from Me, yet I will remain patient until you grant Me this love voluntarily .... Yet once you recognise Me correctly, you will not find it difficult to love Me .... If, however, you are taught wrongly, if I Am portrayed to you incorrectly so that you cannot see a God of love but only a vengeful and wrathful God in Me, you will never learn to love Me as your Father .... Therefore you must first be informed of the pure truth, you must be instructed truthfully by your God and Creator, Whose love is infinite and Who is your Father and also wants to be acknowledged by you as Father .... 'Come unto Me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest ....' Such Words can only be spoken by the One Who loves you and only ever wants what is best for you .... your Father of eternity, Who calls His children to Himself in order to help them in every spiritual and earthly adversity .... And you will experience the proof of My Fatherly love time and again, if you feel like My children and trustingly take the path to the Father .... For every inclination towards Me gives Me the right to take effect in you, otherwise My adversary will push you away from Me and still assert his influence over you, which I cannot deny him as long as you do not defend yourselves against him by calling upon Me, your Father of eternity, thereby giving Me the right to protect you, My children, from him .... My love for you is boundless, and you can always request it, My help is always assured to you when you suffer adversity. And as soon as you are convinced that My love belongs to you, you will also feel like My children and will voluntarily return to Me into your Father's house from which you once originated ....

Amen

The souls' agonising fate in the beyond ....

B.D. 8224 from July 26th 1962, taken from Book No. 87

Anyone who has devoted himself to the world must and will fear death, for the human being does not disappear when he dies yet the soul leaves him, which is unable to die and thus continues to exist in the spiritual kingdom in a state which corresponds to its earthly life. Only now will the soul be able to enter the true life, which lasts forever and is a state of blissfulness, for in complete freedom, in light and strength it will be able to create whatever it wants which, however, is also My will, because it shall have completely subordinated itself to My will .... Yet it is also possible that it will stay in the kingdom of the beyond in an agonising state, in darkness and helplessness but still conscious of itself. In that case one can indeed speak of death, but not of a state of complete disappearance .... And its agony precisely consists of the fact that it knows with how much abundance of strength it had lived on earth, and now it is helpless and incapable of any activity .... The fact that it remains conscious of itself is the very reason for its increased torment but it can also help the soul to emerge from this state of death, by listening to the helpers by whom it is approached in the spiritual kingdom and following their instruction, which will result in a slight improvement for the soul.

Yet it is extremely difficult to encourage the souls to take care of other wretched souls, because they are only ever occupied with themselves, just like on earth they lack love and their selfishness is still predominant. Yet only love will enable the soul's progress in the beyond .... It has to receive loving intercession which it experiences as strength, and then it will be possible that it will change its will. It has to awaken love within itself by also paying attention to its needy brothers in the beyond and willingly offering small gestures of assistance .... These will then also be felt by the soul as an influx of strength and shall stimulate its will to love, which alone is able to release the soul from its agonising situation.

If it enters the kingdom of the beyond in utter spiritual darkness it can take a very long time before it becomes aware of its wretched condition and yearns for improvement .... But as soon as the desire arises to change its state of death, as soon as it realises that it no longer lives on earth and yet has not ceased to exist, it will also reflect on its situation and try to get out of it. And only this will bring it into contact with helpers, beings of light which come along in disguise and try to explain that it can escape its situation if it has the will to do so .... Especially unbelieving, departed human beings from earth require much intercession from the human side which will enable them to muster the will in the beyond to improve their situation. For every prayer on behalf of these souls conveys a flow of strength to them and this strength will never be lost, providing the soul leaves people behind on earth who will remember it in intercession ....

Hence you humans are able to contribute to a large extent so that these souls, too, will overcome death, so that they will still awaken to life on the other side .... For as long as the soul is self-aware I will not abandon it, for then it will also be capable of changing its will, which need only be directed towards Jesus Christ and its redemption will be assured .... However, if it descends to a point when no spark of light will be able to reach it anymore, then it will continue to strive towards the abyss and harden again, and that also means disintegration and loss of self-awareness, it means renewed banishment into matter and the start of a new period of Salvation, because no being will be lost forever .... Because no being will remain dead forever, but one day for sure will return again to life everlasting.

Souls, which no longer have to go through this new banishment, will also be fought for in the kingdom of the beyond, and every person who lovingly remembers these souls is participating in the redemption work, and the souls will be eternally grateful to him for having led them from the night of death into the light of day .... For what once originated from Me as a being cannot cease to exist, but only when this creation is able to work in freedom, light and strength will it have come alive, and then it will never be able to go astray again ....

Amen

Complete instruction ....

B.D. 8225 from July 27th 1962, taken from Book No. 87

Just always abide by My word which says: 'My spirit will guide you into all truth .... "As soon as you are willing to receive from Me yourselves, knowledge will be made accessible to you which you cannot describe as 'piecemeal' .... For although you will only ever receive wisdom which you are able to comprehend, which corresponds to your state of maturity, the knowledge you receive will nevertheless be a complete instruction which encompasses everything you need to know: a correct portrayal of My nature .... a reason for your existence on earth and the purpose of creation .... My plan of salvation of the return of the spiritual that once fell away from Me .... and the pure gospel, which contains the redemptive work of Jesus Christ, as well as the divine teaching of love, which is the epitome of that which is the human being's task on earth. Whoever is informed about all this cannot truly speak of a "piecework". His knowledge can certainly still be extended by much, he can certainly still penetrate deeper wisdoms, yet even this little can be regarded as completed knowledge, because it corresponds to the human being's still deficient state, his spiritual degree of maturity, which therefore would not be able to draw to the bottom of divine wisdom, for such knowledge is the epitome of the beatitude of supreme beings of light, and even then it still remains unlimited, for My love and wisdom knows no limit. But I have promised you that My spirit will introduce you to all truth .... And I will truly withhold nothing from you which serves you to mature your souls .... And you may also penetrate further and further yourselves if you shape yourselves such that ever brighter light can shine into you .... Yet even that which you have already received can be called light, for when My spirit is working it will only ever radiate light, yet the light can shine in different degrees, and thus knowledge can always deepen as a person's degree of maturity increases .... However, divine instruction can never be described as 'piecemeal' if I Myself want to guide people into truth through these instructions, for where I Myself am at work there must also be light, and the human being must be able to fill every gap in his knowledge, there will be nothing which could cause the human being to ascertain a gap in his knowledge, for he will receive enlightenment about everything he merely desires to know. Yet it is understandable that My love will never overspend itself, I will always want to and be able to make My children happy, and thus the measure of knowledge full of wisdom will also be able to increase indefinitely, because this is the bliss of the beings of light to constantly receive and be made happy by Me. Human knowledge, on the other hand, will always remain piecemeal, for the intellect is limited and whether it tries to penetrate spiritual knowledge or earthly knowledge .... it will always be limited, and it will always remain piecemeal as long as the spirit from Me does not switch off the intellect and can instruct the human being truthfully, so that an awakened spirit can also provide his fellow human beings with correct earthly enlightenment .... However, if I convey My word to earth in order to bring the truth to people, I will also choose the suitable vessels for Myself into which My spirit can flow, and then the knowledge will reach people which will give them the right explanation and also answer their every question .... I will also try to make people understand what they don't absolutely need for the maturing of their souls .... if they have an earnest desire for light to come to them .... And people very often ask questions which I then answer in the form of My gifts of grace from above .... that My word is then conveyed to them through which they receive proper enlightenment .... For divine wisdom is inexhaustible, My love is unfathomably deep, and I know about every question asked on earth and in the kingdom of the beyond and I will answer as soon as I only recognize the earnest will for truth, which only I can distribute but will always distribute according to the questioner's degree of spiritual maturity, so that My promise will be fulfilled: 'I will introduce you to all truth .... "

Amen

The word inspires love activity ....

B.D. 8226 from July 28th 1962, taken from Book No. 87

I rejoice in every child which consciously strives towards me, which strives to attain its maturity on earth and which connects with Me again and again to be permeated by My love. Because it will soon have reached its goal and be connected with Me for eternity. Then it will look back on an endless long course of development, and it will not be able to understand why it resisted My illumination of love .... It will only always desire My love and also experience it in excess, because it now recognizes its long resistance as a great sin and offense against My love and always only says thank you to Me for My assistance, for its salvation from the depths, and it will be blissfully happy .... I know about your great bliss in the state of perfection, and I therefore only help man that he reaches that state of perfection which earns him this bliss. The conscious striving for Me proves to Me his will, which has turned to Me again, as it once turned away from Me ..... And this change of will is the right decision for the purpose of which man lives on earth and which determines his lot in eternity ..... The conscious bond with me, which also entails the recognition of the work of redemption and the call of Jesus for forgiveness of guilt, is at the same time the recognition of myself, and so the sin of the former apostasy from Me is cancelled, and nothing more stands in the way of their return to me. But that you establish the conscious bond with Me, that you long for your God and creator within you, for your father from eternity, this is what My adversary tries to prevent again and again in order not to lose you, and you must therefore .... if you still walk through earthly life in ignorance .... be pointed out to your enemy; you must be shown the danger you are constantly in as long as I cannot exercise My right over your souls, which, however, requires the conscious bond with Me. And that is why therefore you are again and again pointed to your earth life purpose through My word, and that is why you must hear My word, no matter in which way .... so that you learn about My will and about the goings-on of My opponent, who still controls you, until this voluntary return to Me has taken place. And every man will be blessed who spreads My word and who makes it his business to bring a light into the darkness in which mankind walks if a light from Me, My divine word, is not imparted to them. That is why it is of special importance that a man strives towards Me in free will and can now be used by Me as mediator through whom I can now speak to men and announce My will to them. The voluntary devotion to Me must precede, otherwise it is impossible that I can speak to you through a human mouth. Because this must happen in a way that fellowmen are not forced to believe in Me and My work, in My word ..... My word alone possesses the power to impress the listener that he follows the word, and he will then himself also recognize his outcome by the effect of My word and believe with conviction .... And the "word" is obeyed when My will is fulfilled, which is proclaimed to men through the word: when you lead a life in unselfish love and now therefore get to know the power of love, which again establishes the union with me, who am love Myself .... I only want to achieve the transformation of your being to love because then I will also have achieved everything .... because My goal alone is the return of you to Me and because this return presupposes a transformation of the being to love. Then you will also understand that I only ever preach My gospel of love to people when I address them Myself through My word .... that I only ever announce My will to them, which demands the fulfilment of My commandments of love .... and that you then also shape yourselves into My children, whose love for the father is now also the surest guarantee that the union already takes place on earth, for love alone is the bond which ties us together indissolubly .... love alone makes you divine beings again, who are now also blessed again without limit, as they were in the beginning ....

Amen

Feeding the light from above ....

B.D. 8227 from July 29th 1962, taken from Book No. 87

Light shall become to him who desires light .... Therefore, when My messengers approach you with a light which is emanated from Me Myself, when they bring you My word, your desire for light, for the pure truth, is decisive as to whether you accept this word of Mine, whether you acknowledge it as having come forth from Me and whether you then also evaluate it. For it has to take effect on you as long as you don't resist it .... I know where there is still a desire for truth, for knowledge of that which is still hidden from people .... And I will always show My messengers the way to them, I will knock Myself so that they will open their doors and grant you entrance if you offer them a delicious gift. And you will also be received there with joy, for anyone who longs for light is delighted by every ray of light I Myself send to him .... And he will now also prepare himself, his heart, to receive Me Myself, the giver of truth, Whom he recognizes in the word which is brought to him and with Whom he will also want to unite himself in order to no longer lose My word .... the light from above. For this reason My messengers will never be allowed to be inactive, for they can still radiate much light into the darkness if they serve Me as bearers of light through which I can guide My ray of light of love to people whose hearts are still in darkness. But it will be understandable that these people have to accept the light of their own free will, for they are not forced to do so because they once freely chosed darkness. But I know whose will is willing to step out of darkness, and to these I seek to convey knowledge which signifies light for them .... I seek to lead them out of the state of spiritual darkness and to give them knowledge of Me and the connection with My living creations .... of My being, which is love, wisdom and power .... And through such knowledge I seek to move people to turn their will towards Me of their own free will, and then I can draw them and influence them with My grace that they voluntarily strive towards Me again as they once voluntarily strove away from Me. And I can only achieve everything by conveying My word, the pure truth from Me, because this alone is a bright light which enlightens people and can change their will. Only someone who wants to escape the darkness will welcome a ray of light which approaches him and shows him the way out of the darkness of night into the light of day .... But he will not long for a light in vain, for I know every person's will and thoughts and am truly always ready to meet them with a light which will make them happy and which will also give them the right purpose in life, for now .... that they learn to recognize Me Myself when they hear the father's voice .... they will also strive to make My will their own and live their lives in accordance with it. The closer it gets to the end the more humanity needs the light from above, because My adversary will do everything in his power to deepen the darkness, and he will also succeed where no serious striving for light takes place .... Anyone who desires and strives for light desires Me and strives for Me, and I will come to him and give him what he desires. He shall be informed of his earthly task, of his beginning and his goal .... For he starts his existence as a human being completely ignorant, but he shall acquire knowledge again and I Myself show him the way to it .... I encourage him to be lovingly active so that a light will be kindled in him which will also make all knowledge accessible to him which he once possessed but had voluntarily given away .... I do not withhold this knowledge from any of My living creations which live on earth as human beings, yet you must seriously desire it yourselves because I cannot give it to you against your will. For then you will confess that you yourselves live in darkness and try to escape from this darkness .... And then your desire will also be satisfied. I will send you My bearers of light and thus you will receive My word and I will be able to speak to you, thus My divine light of love will shine through you and you will never ever sink back into the darkness from which you sought to escape .... Then your thoughts and aspirations will be directed towards Me, Who am the light from eternity ....

Amen

Test the spirits ....

B.D. 8228 from July 30th 1962, taken from Book No. 87

You humans should believe that I will keep sending you the truthful information about Jesus Christ and His act of Salvation, for you have to recognise and acknowledge Him .... the divine Redeemer .... as Son of God and Redeemer of the world Who had sheltered Me within Himself. But the mission He had to fulfil on earth cannot be proven to you, yet I Myself will convey the correct information of Him to you through My spirit, and this in itself will be proof to you .... For what historically cannot be demonstrated to you, shall be taught to you by My spirit .... And thus you also know that it is I Myself Who reveals this to you .... that you can 'test the spirits' by all means, for as soon as you are given information about Jesus Christ and His act of Salvation you will know that it is the spirit of God, which can only impart the pure truth. You are entitled to scrutinise the origin of all spiritual knowledge, and I Myself have shown you the criterion, for no opposing spirit will ever proclaim that 'Jesus Christ has come in the flesh ....' And once you have got the proof that it is the activity of 'God's spirit' then you can also accept everything proclaimed by this spirit as truth.

My working within the human being, which expresses itself so distinctly as the transmission of My Word, cannot be interpreted or explained as personal intellectual thought, but it can be even less described as My adversary's activity, for then people only demonstrate that they themselves do not recognise the Father's voice, that they do not belong to My Own who completely hand themselves over to Me, but that they are intellectually still too active themselves or they would feel that they are addressed by Me, their Father of eternity .... For My transmission of the Word into a human heart .... be it directly or through My messengers .... will not fail to have the desired effect. It touches the heart as soon as it opens itself and is willing to be addressed by Me; and that necessitates that the person listens to Me impartially and thus is also willing to let himself be permeated by My spirit, by My light of love ....

However, if a person undertakes a purely intellectual examination of the spiritual knowledge he has received from Me, then he will hardly be able to recognise His Father's voice, for it will not touch his heart, and only this is capable of taking the test. You shall not blindly believe what you inwardly reject .... Yet when My revelations are conveyed to you then you will never have a feeling of resistance, providing you desire to be addressed by Me Myself .... rather, My Words will so touch you that you would not want to miss them anymore, and you will also be fully convinced of the truth, because you are now able to feel Me Myself .... The content of divine revelations will always consist of God's human manifestation in Jesus and the act of Salvation, and this shall always be the clearest evidence of the truth, for My adversary would never inform you of the fact that Jesus Christ sacrificed Himself on the cross on your behalf, in Whom I Myself accomplished the act of Salvation .... My adversary will never try to encourage you humans to believe in Jesus, he will never preach love to you, which likewise is the substance of My revelations, for only love unites you with Me and he will prevent everything that could establish this unification.

You have to know about his nature, which is pure hatred and wants to corrupt you .... And you will be able to recognise his activity by the fact that he will do everything to demean My divine revelations and to darken your spirit so as to prevent you from recognising Me .... However, you need only appeal to Me for illumination of your spirit, and truly, I will help you and change every ambiguity into brightest realisation, if only you seriously desire it. My adversary only ever seeks to cause confusion, but he will only be successful where the desire for the pure truth is not yet prevalent; but where it exists he has lost all power, for I Myself radiate the light which agreeably touches everyone who wants to be enlightened ....

Amen

Communion .... food and drink ....

B.D. 8229 from July 31th 1962, taken from Book No. 87

I want you to hear Me, and so open the door of your heart to Me when I knock to take supper with you ..... For I want to offer you delicious nourishment for your souls, I want to give you My flesh and My blood to eat and drink, so that you will be strengthened and your souls will mature and become perfect. For they need nourishment which will help them to live forever, and only I Myself can give them this nourishment, because I alone know what they need in order to become blessed .... And thus you should gratefully receive My gifts which I Myself send to you directly or through My messengers .... But it is always the right food and the right drink when My word is offered to you .... Then you will take supper with Me, you will let yourselves be fed at the lord's table, and then My flow of grace can flow unstoppably and refresh you. Then you will draw from the spring from which the water of life flows and you will receive ever new strength for your pilgrimage on earth, which also repeatedly requires the attention of My strength. If I can now convey My word to you humans, which is My flesh and My blood, then you will also receive unusual strength from Me, and your soul will not cover the earthly path in vain, for it will receive the nourishment of the soul directly from Me, it will be permeated by a light from Me Myself and it will see the earthly path exactly in front of it which it has to travel in order to reach the goal .... For My word first brings you the knowledge of My commandments of love, the fulfilment of which is the right and only path to eternal beatitude .... My word will only ever proclaim love to you humans, admonish you to live a life of love and present to you both the effect of a life of love as well as the great shortcoming for your soul if you disregard My commandments of love .... if I desire entrance into your hearts, I will send My messengers ahead of you to inspire you to prepare your dwelling for the reception of the Lord whom they serve, Who wants to dwell in you to be present in you all the time .... And you will only prepare yourselves if you practise love, if you allow My presence in you through love, because a life of love alone also brings about the maturing of the soul and because I then speak to you Myself, thus I can hand out the nourishment for your soul directly, for your soul has to constantly take food and drink. And I always want to be its host, I invite it to come to My table and receive right food and right drink from Me. Anyone who constantly allows himself to be satisfied by Me will truly receive food which is inconceivably effective, which makes the sick soul healthy, which strengthens and refreshes the weak soul and which always gives strength to every soul which needs such .... And thus you shall receive it from Me Myself, you shall draw living water from the spring which I Myself have opened up, and truly, your soul will attain maturity, for what I Myself offer it is good and cannot remain without effect. And time and again I will send My messengers to you humans, time and again they will knock at your doors and desire admittance, they will inform you of their lord and invite you to His table of gifts, which will always be richly laid and hold everything ready for you which you need in order to mature while still on earth. For I know where sick and weary souls lie along the path, who cannot continue their pilgrimage path because it is not quite recognizable and because it requires strength since it leads upwards .... And thus My messengers will show you the way to the source which gives you refreshment and revitalization, and they will also bring you the invitation from Me that you should let yourselves be fed and watered by Me Myself, for I am truly the best host, after all, I have prepared for all My guests what is necessary for them, what they need in order to be able to continue their path invigorated, and they will also reach the right goal one day. Yet you should believe that your souls need nourishment, for they are still too weak and cannot remain without a healing medicine which signifies My word for them, which is bread and wine and serves to strengthen them .... And therefore I will time and again send out My messengers and call upon everyone to come to Me for the banquet or to let Me Myself into their hearts when I want to come to them to offer them delicious gifts. For without strength from Me you will not be able to cover the path to ascent, and then your earthly path will be in vain .... You will prolong the return to Me again for an infinitely long time during which you will be blissfully unhappy because you are separated from Me ....

Amen

Eternal creator will of God ....

B.D. 8230 from August 1st 1962, taken from Book No. 87

Realize that My love is unlimited and that this love is constantly creatively active, that it is strength itself from which everything emerges. Every thought of Mine becomes a form, regardless of whether earthly or spiritual creations emerge .... This is why the process of creation will not stop either, because My love does not stop and nothing is impossible for My strength of love. The spiritual substance which still has to be redeemed, which once fell away from Me and still has to spend endless times in a completely hardened state before I let it become matter, which now starts the path of ascent development .... still requires creations on a scale you are unable to imagine; but irrevocably all fallen spiritual substances will once pass through creation, because otherwise a return to Me is not possible .... For it has to be considered that the apostasy also lasted eternal times and the return requires endless times again; and new creations are always necessary which are to receive the fallen spirits .... But I overlook everything, and My wisdom and love also recognize the possibility of success of such an endless course through creations of all kinds. My will to create is always stimulated anew because My love is immeasurably great and wants to externalize itself and therefore continuously radiates strength into infinity, which becomes active again according to the law of eternity .... I am from eternity and will be until all eternity .... My love will have no end and therefore also My creative will will be tirelessly active, because My love wants to express itself, and this happens through constant creating and enlivening of the created .... For the human being it is impossible to imagine this because he is still subject to the law of time and space and in his imperfect state he is also limited in his thinking .... But for Me there is no limitation, and for Me there is no time either, for Me a thousand years are like a day .... and even this designation is only to be understood figuratively, because I Myself am not subject to the law of time and space. But I want to give you information as far as you are receptive to it, and just as an infinitely wide sea contains countless drops of water and this comparison is already incomprehensible to you, so also My being, My working, My love, wisdom and might will remain eternally unfathomable to you .... And yet I am, and you can experience Me Myself in My love, wisdom and power .... you cannot deny Me, for My works in creation around you prove Me .... And again, I can only reveal Myself as far as you are able to grasp it yourselves. And no matter how much you think about it, your intellect will not be able to fathom Me, nor will it be able to comprehend My creation and activity .... Yet as soon as love unfolds in your heart your primal element will break through, and only then will you gain the right understanding for My reign and activity, even if you will never be able to fathom Me Myself and My being in all its depth. My strength of love will never be exhausted and therefore My creative will will also be tirelessly active, for My kingdom is a living world where everything is creatively active which emerged perfectly from My hand and remained in its perfection or, after an endless course through creation, returned to Me again as My child and therefore is also active in the same sense, in the same will, as the father, the great God of eternity, Who is unlimited and will also create and work unlimitedly for all eternity ....

Amen

Christ's Forerunner ....

B.D. 8231 from August 2nd 1962, taken from Book No. 87

My Own will recognise him, the voice in the wilderness, who will announce My appearance as I predicted .... For his light will radiate brightly and his speech will be powerful .... And he will not shy away from strongly criticising the authorities in his speeches, because I will send him to earth in order to fulfil his final mission by preaching about the end of this earth and announcing My coming on the day of Judgment .... Those who belong to Me will be strongly affected by the strength of his words, and they will realise that it won't be long before I Myself arrive in order to deliver them from their adversity. But before that you humans will time and again come to the wrong conclusion and assume to recognise him in many people .... However, I say to you 'You won't need to ask but will know that it is he whom I have sent ahead of Me ....' For when he appears My adversary will already be at work embodied in a ruler who proceeds against all spiritual aspirations, against faith, and through his accomplices will also badly pester My Own to desert Me and acknowledge him instead ....

Then you will be able to see the beginning of the battle of faith already and therefore receive incredible comfort through My forerunner, for then you will also know that the end is not far away .... For his mission on earth will not last long, just as the Antichrist will be easily recognisable, who will not be granted a long lifespan either .... The forerunner will come and reinforce your faith, he will testify to Me and announce My coming with such powerful words that My Own will draw strength from his words and thus endure until the end, for I Myself will help them in their distress which this last battle of faith entails .... The voice in the wilderness will not let himself be restrained and will quite openly condemn the people who treat My Own with hostility .... He will denounce their actions as detestable and always enjoy My protection when they attack him, until his hour also comes, for once again he will pay for his mission with his death, and that, too, shall not frighten you who are My Own, but only strengthen your belief that you know the truth, that you can expect everything to happen as I have told you through My spirit.

A period of time nears its completion which was given to you humans for your release from the form, yet I will help you until the last day to find the right faith in Me, and the 'forerunner', too, will be sent so as to strengthen your faith .... Anyone who wants to recognise him will recognise him .... Anyone who rejects his word is plainly My adversary's follower and will also reject Me. Yet the light from above which will shine so very brightly cannot be overlooked, his powerful word cannot be ignored, and his life and activity on earth during the last days will be so evidently recognisable as 'divine' activity, that everyone will be able to recognise him and no longer needs to question whether it is him. And My adversary will want to work in the same manner again by trying to cause confusion and suggest to his followers that he can be seen here and there, and thus it requires a close bond with Me in order to distinguish properly and to think correctly .... This is why I repeatedly let you know that he will only make his appearance when My adversary has also prepared the right external form for himself, in which he will then work to the horror of the believers, for he has great power at his disposal and will employ it to wage a relentless battle of faith ....

And then the one who is sent by Me will make his appearance, and he will publicly denounce the former and not be afraid of him, and thereby you will recognise him, for he will use the strength at his disposal in My name, he will also heal the sick and perform miracles and thus be even more fiercely attacked by the authorities who try to kill him and achieve his violent death .... Yet the light he distributes amongst My Own will give them extraordinary strength, and they will await My coming with confidence and wait until the end .... for they know that My Word fulfils itself and that everything will come to pass as I let it be proclaimed in Word and Scripture ....

Amen

Love power current always leads back to God ....

B.D. 8232 from August 4th 1962, taken from Book No. 87

If I succeed in causing you to live a life of love through My word from above, then your return to Me in free will is also certain, and then the great gift of grace has been evaluated, for then My word has been put into action, and this means that you now also kindle a light within yourselves and become knowledgeable .... It is an unusual gift of grace which you receive, but your free will has to evaluate the gift of grace, only then will it be successful by you now fulfilling My will, and that means as much as that you integrate yourselves into the law of eternal order, that you live in love, which is the meaning and purpose of your earthly life. Love will now also irrevocably establish the bond with Me, and thus the illumination of love on My part, which you once rejected and therefore became sinful, will now also be made possible. But I can only win you back if you voluntarily open yourselves to My illumination of love, which means that you give Me your will, that your thoughts often dwell on Me, that you desire to be united with Me .... that you acknowledge Me as your God and creator and humbly submit yourselves to Me ..... Then you yourselves will also cancel the sin of your former apostasy, you will return to Me for the time being in your thoughts, with your will, until you then unite with Me through a conscious life of love, Who is the eternal love Himself .... (4.8.1962) For it is the law of eternity that every ray of love strength sent forth by Me has to return to Me again, for everything is spirit from My spirit which is eternally indissoluble and therefore nothing can be lost which once originated from Me. And thus My word is also an emanation of strength of love which becomes effective if it finds no resistance, and this effectiveness will always be expressed by the being illuminated by Me pushing towards Me again .... My word will have the effect that the addressed being .... the human being .... now shapes itself into love, that it cannot help but place itself completely under My will, thus also constantly giving love and therefore constantly receiving love .... And the flow of love flows back to Me again, and it now creates the being in union with Me and in My will and out of My strength .... My infinite love draws everything to itself which has become love again and therefore My goal is only to guide the strength which once distanced itself from Me back to Me again so that it can become fully effective, which is only ever possible in the union of those beings with Me, which requires a complete change into love. For love alone is the strength whose benefit brings indescribable bliss to the beings which can now work with Me in the spiritual kingdom ....

Amen

Conscious turning of the will towards God ....

B.D. 8233 from August 4th 1962, taken from Book No. 87

I give you what you need for your pilgrimage on this earth, so that you can cover it successfully and your soul can reach maturity. For I alone know what its nature is and what you need for its perfection. Nevertheless, your free will cannot be ignored, and thus it has to accept and make use of My grace. The fact that you humans possess free will is very often doubted because the human being himself is unable to shape his earthly life according to his will and therefore denies the freedom of will. And time and again it has to be explained to you that your will is not forcibly influenced, even if the possibility of execution is not present, yet you will always determine your will and thinking yourselves, and the innermost will and thinking cannot be prescribed to you from any side. And you must answer for this willing and thinking. And if this will is seriously directed towards Me and the attainment of your soul's maturity then you can also be certain that you will achieve it, and then you will also accept My gifts of grace and use them correctly, and your perfection will be assured. How your earthly life will turn out is certainly determined by My will, Who recognizes which situation in life will result in the greatest success for you. And I will always intervene in your earthly life according to your direction of will, in the realization that help must be brought to you if you are inclined to take the wrong path .... But there is a very certain way for you to safely ascend: if you completely subordinate your will to Mine, if you therefore acknowledge Me Myself as the power Which brought you into being and are willing to completely subordinate yourselves to this power, if you completely surrender your own free will to Me and then can no longer think and want differently than it is My will, and then your life's destiny will also move on a calmer course. But then you will also accept My gifts of grace and know that they will only be a blessing for you. You will want Me to feed and water you with the bread of heaven, with the water of life, for you desire the right food and the right drink because you still feel ill and weak as long as you don't receive the right nourishment for your soul from Me. And if your will no longer resists it you will let yourselves be illuminated by Me again as you once were, and a light will ignite in you, you will gain knowledge, your spiritual poverty will disappear, you will gather spiritual possessions and your soul will become strong and healthy, because the right physician will give it the right medicine and thus you will have to mature and fulfil the purpose on earth .... You receive My word and will now also become doers of My word and not just remain hearers .... you will endeavour to live a life of love according to My will, for My word announces My will to you, and as soon as you completely hand yourselves over to Me you also completely enter into My will .... You will again insert yourselves into My law of order, you make the principle of love your own, and you now accomplish the change of being .... you become what you were from the beginning and return to Me as My children in free will .... And thus your purpose of existence as a human being truly only consists of giving Me your will, of inwardly professing Me, of distancing yourselves from My adversary who also wants to gain your will for himself during your earthly existence .... But it is entirely up to you who you choose, he cannot force you and I will not force you .... you must choose for yourselves the lord to whom you want to belong .... Time and again I can only try to influence you through life situations or strokes of fate to take the path to the One from Whom you once originated, and I truly help you time and again to learn to think correctly, I send My messengers of light towards you who also try to influence your will without, however, forcing it .... Only the voluntary return to Me will earn you eternal life in eternity, and the purpose of your earthly existence is solely the turning of your will towards Me .... And therefore I will also reveal Myself to you humans time and again in the most diverse ways, for as soon as you recognize a God and creator above you Who called you into being, you will also give up your inner resistance which kept you separated from Me for an infinitely long time .... For then I will already be able to illuminate you with My strength of love so that you will now also recognize Me as father and come to Me like children, because you are inwardly urged to unite with Me in order to stay with Me forever, in order to live in bliss ....

Amen

Right attitude in earth life ....

B.D. 8234 from August 6th 1962, taken from Book No. 87

How short is the duration of your existence on earth, and whether you also reach a great age, if you apply the standard to the endless long time of your pre-development, of the course through all earth creations .... from the deepest depth up to the human being .... But this short moment is decisive for your fate after the death of the body .... You humans should always bear in mind that the last course as a human being is extremely responsible, for you can complete an infinitely long course of development, but you can also have covered it in vain if you fail in earthly life and fall back into the abyss again. And yet, only the great responsibility can ever be presented to you, and you must now believe, even without evidence .... which, however, is also possible .... You only need to think and want what is right .... and truly, you will find help in every way, for I know about all your weaknesses, I know about your still deficient state in which you enter (begin)earthly life .... I long for My children who once voluntarily departed from Me, and therefore I Myself will do everything to promote your return to Me. But since this return has to take place of your own free will I can only inform you humans time and again of your earthly task and show you the path back to your father's house through My word .... You come into the world without any knowledge, and My greater than great love now wants to impart this knowledge to you. But you only have to believe that you have emerged from a power which is perfect, and you consciously have to strive for this power. For this reason this power also tries to present itself to you such that you try to gain access, that your will thus turns towards this power, and then you will already be saved, you will take the path to Me, for as soon as I possess your will I can also influence your earthly life such that you will long more and more for the One Who called you into life, and then you will also use the short time of earthly life in the right way .... For My divine spark of love, which I have given you, will constantly stimulate you into loving activity, and if you follow its inner urge then there can be no more relapse into the abyss for you, you will certainly reach your goal, the union with Me .... And entry into the kingdom of light is guaranteed when your soul leaves the earthly body. And then it will realize how short its earthly life has been compared to the infinitely long time before, when it had to work its way up from the deepest depth, even if it was unaware of its existence .... And yet, the time on earth is the strongest test of will, it is the most difficult task for the soul which is now no longer subject to the law of compulsion but has complete freedom from Me, and that is why it is so significant to right its free will during the time on earth, which the soul has to do of its own accord, for it can neither be forced by Me nor by My adversary but therefore also has to bear the responsibility. But it is never without assistance. Both the beings of light, to whom it is handed over for care, as well as I Myself leave no stone unturned in order to right the human being's thoughts and will without coercion .... Yet the human being can be mentally influenced by the world of light, and I Myself will appear time and again, I will reveal Myself to those who only desire light, who are of good will. And they will also soon recognize Me as their goal and strive towards Me, although My adversary will also try to influence their will .... but he will only win it if the human being still belongs to him completely, if his resistance against Me is still unbroken and he is then in utmost danger of sinking into the abyss again ..... Then he cannot be hindered because his will is free, and then even a longer life would be of no use. For a person of good will, however, the short lifetime is enough to bring him liberation from every form and he can now enter the kingdom of light and bliss carefree ....

Amen

Did the human being evolve or was he a new creation? ....

B.D. 8235 from August 9th 1962, taken from Book No. 87

There can be no contradictions in the spiritual knowledge you receive from Me Myself, which My spirit has imparted to you who are of service to Me and who have the task to pass on the pure truth from Me to your fellow human beings, to spread My Word which should enlighten you. Because I want to shed light onto the spiritual darkness in which people live and especially when you desire an explanation yourselves:

It took an infinitely long time for the creation work 'earth' to become what it is now .... a creation which should enable people to achieve final perfection. And during this infinitely long time the original spirits, having been dissolved into the tiniest of particles, passed through countless works of creation in order to evolve ever more. The solidified spiritual substance gradually became alive, as you have been told several times already. It covered the infinitely long way in a state of compulsion, i.e. all creations fulfilled the purpose and task given to them by Me .... no constrained being could make its own decisions but gradually matured .... Forms were created for spiritual substances of all degrees of maturity aspiring to ascend; the forms of the mineral, plant and animal world were infinitely diverse, and they all were brought to life by the minute particles of the fallen original spirits, which progressively united and finally became smaller and larger living organisms. On leaving their forms they united again and finally were embodied into forms which already rather resembled the shape of a human being.

The whole lengthy course of development was subject to My law, in other words, all events in this creation which emerged through My will took place in accordance with natural law. As a result of their fall into the abyss the original spirits had lost their self-awareness. However, one day they should regain this self-awareness again and embody themselves in the last form as a human being, in order to then bring the path of higher development to a close. The final forms in the compulsive state therefore became increasingly more human-like but they had no self-awareness as yet, they acted instinctively in accordance with My will .... although they already performed functions which resembled those of a human being .... However, they were unable to think, they lacked reason and free will and were therefore not accountable. They were impelled into action by spiritual intelligences, just like every spiritual being still constrained within the form was subject to supervisors, who likewise transferred My will onto the constrained spiritual being through natural law. And then came the time when free will could be returned to the matured original spirits by which they then should be tested as to whether they wanted to return to Me or remain with My adversary .... And for those original spirits I created the form of the human being ....

All works of creation, especially the ever larger created living beings, originated through My will, in as much as My thoughts took shape .... And for this reason these living beings were represented in the most varied forms, yet every form was different .... There were the most diverse species bearing no resemblance to each other, which continued to reproduce themselves but always remained the same creatures .... When the first original spirits had attained a level of maturity which required the form of the human being, My will once again brought forth a work of creation which was truly a work of wonder in the whole of My creation .... This being was structured incredibly intricately; it was created in accordance with My will so that it could fulfil its earthly task .... a being which I 'created', but which did not 'evolve' from the already existing human-like creations .... Because it was intended for this form to shelter an original spirit, a being which was once externalised by Me in My image and which was to become what it used to be once again .... And therefore it had to be equipped with intelligence, free will and self-awareness, and these did not gradually evolve in the animal-like beings but they were given to the human form when the original spirit took possession of the first form .... and they will always be given to every human being as part of his soul when, as divine breath, it gives life to the human being at birth ....

Afterwards people indeed reproduced themselves again in accordance with My law of nature but they will always remain the same living creations as the first human being, Adam, was. They will not change into other living creations, but any change will always purely be an act of the soul which at first can still be disinclined towards Me and during its time as a human being achieve highest perfection .... The human body, however, will remain as I created it when Adam's soul took possession of it .... Although the act of creating earth with everything in, on and above it, with all dead and living creations, certainly required an infinitely long time, but at the same time a phase of higher development had come to an end for the fallen spiritual essence when the minute particles of an original spirit had gathered again and the last process of return to Me began ....

And this existence on earth as a human being also required a new work of creation by Me, a form which could do justice to all demands in order to take the last test of its own free will. And thus the human being can consider himself a special creation by Me, because he is the only being on earth with the gift of intelligence, reason and free will .... the marks of divine origin. He is therefore also able to recognise above himself a God and Creator Who gave him life, and therefore he can also achieve final perfection on this earth if his free will genuinely strives for it ....

Amen

Was Adam the only human being created by God? ....

B.D. 8236 from August 10th 1962, taken from Book No. 87

But now the question will arise in you how the whole earth came to be populated with people .... This is a valid question, for there were many original spirits when the first original spirit Adam embodied himself, and all of these original spirits wanted to continue their course of development and engender themselves as souls in a human being because they knew that their final return to Me could only take place in this way .... And I also gave human covers to those original spirits who consciously wanted to take the path across earth .... I created a large number of human beings, for only one thought by Me sufficed and every fully matured original spirit received its external form, and each form was physically created such that procreation would take place in accordance with My will, in order to continually provide an opportunity for incarnation to the souls which were also gradually reaching their full maturity. But I restricted the regions of the first forefathers .... You should understand that I allocated the prepared land to the human beings ....

Yet the first people .... Adam and Eve .... had to take the test of will, and as a result of their fall the whole human race became weakened. The disobedience against My divine commandment had, due to My adverse spirit Lucifer, likewise arisen in those original spirits, and the hereditary sin .... which consisted of changing the pure, divine love into selfish love, was repeated in these human beings too, for My adversary tempted all people, and his enticement succeeded because people still had too little knowledge of him who wanted to cause them to fall again. And people spread across the entire earth, but Adam was and remained nevertheless the founder of the human race, and people were informed of the descendants of his house and the following generations were recorded until the birth of Jesus, Who descended to earth as a result of the inherited sin in order to redeem humanity ....

Since Adam, after Lucifer, had been the first fallen original spirit, he was also the first to be embodied as a human being, and if he had observed My easy commandment he very quickly would have shed his external form, and all other original spirits would soon have given up their resistance as well, they unconditionally would have given themselves to Me, and their return to Me would have been guaranteed .... Yet his disobedience was another opposition to Me, it was a repetition of the first sin of rebellion against Me .... However, owing to Adam's fall Lucifer had regained power, and he used it on each generation which, being as weak as Adam, did not resist and remained weak until Jesus arrived in order to help them.

You humans should know that I populated the whole earth because many of the fully matured original spirits desired their last embodiment on earth and because every one of these original spirits was entitled to undertake the final test of will within the human being .... There were a large number of them, and every one had many followers, original spirits which had followed him and time and again joined him again. And for all these I chose the living conditions which suited their various inclinations, and thus, having created its human external form, I placed every original spirit appropriately, consequently reproducing himself corresponding to My will and My natural law .... The procreation method was the same everywhere, which is why I always joined the original spirit with a second spirit ....

Thus the creative act of the first human being was repeated time and again in regions which were inaccessible for the individual human tribes, for My creation of the earth had been so comprehensive that the process of further development everywhere necessitated the original spirits to incarnate in the human being and for this I created the first prerequisites .... And only after a long period of time had passed did the various tribes make contact with each other .... Their spiritual development, however, had advanced entirely differently .... all depending on the degree of love within each person. But they all can be instructed by Me Myself when their resistance diminishes and My commandments are heeded again, and the human souls will come to full maturity, for the divine Redeemer Jesus Christ accomplished the act of Salvation for all human beings, and the knowledge of it can also be brought to all human beings through people or through the working of My spirit .... Nevertheless, Adam's direct descendants will accept this knowledge more easily and hence belong to the human generation which will find redemption while still on earth, so that the souls will be able to become free while still on earth if they accept Jesus Christ's act of Salvation Who, apart from the original sin, also took Adam's past sin upon Himself and thus purchased humanity's salvation from My adversary through His death on the cross ....

Amen

Was Adam the only human being created by God? ....

B.D. 8237 from August 11th 1962, taken from Book No. 87

(Continuation of no. 8236)

You are most certainly working according to My will when you distribute the spiritual knowledge which is conveyed to you from above. For it is important to provide clarification to many more people who genuinely want to receive it .... Time and again I tell you that people have considerably diverted from the truth but that they hold on to their wrong thinking because even a correct clarification does not seem acceptable to them. However, it is the time of the end, and the length of time from the start of a period of Salvation until now is too long that evidence could be produced regarding the events which took place when the first human beings took possession of the earth. Yet even the first people themselves lacked a correct realisation, since they were burdened by the original sin, from which they could have liberated themselves had they passed their test of will .... They were spiritually still unenlightened and unaware of the correlations between the spiritual and the earthly kingdom, since due to Lucifer's temptation they changed their love when the pure spark of love from Me became clouded due to their fall into sin .... otherwise it would have been impossible for people to descend ever further until the human race, Adam's descendants, lost itself in unbelief, for the sin to get out of hand .... They didn't recognise the correlations and lived a purely earthly life. And although time and again beings of light embodied themselves on earth, too, in order to give people instructions and explain the purpose of existence to them their thinking nevertheless remained limited, and thus limited thinking was then also reproduced, the condition for profound wisdoms didn't exist .... which includes My reign and activity throughout the whole of Creation. But neither did people's limited thinking allow for such clarifications relating to the broad scope of Creation, which can be noted on earth alone and which My might and wisdom, My love for all created beings always and forever animated with the apostatised spirits, which were to accomplish their return to Me on this said work of creation called Earth. And according to their narrow field of vision they also only described the narrow region which they themselves occupied .... And an account was given of the earthly process of development since Adam and Eve, the ancestral parents which, however, does not mean that the same happened in other places on earth, since these were still so far apart for the first human beings and partly separated by large areas of water, that every territory was a world in itself where the once fallen spirits were able to mature and embody themselves in a human being.

However, every nation has a different idea about its origin, its emergence and its concept of God. And neither does it lack teachers which descend from above, so that people also perceive their earthly task to strive towards an as yet unknown Deity, to call upon it and to endeavour to live in a good and righteous way. And as soon as they develop divine love, unselfish neighbourly love, within themselves, their thinking will also come close to the truth .... Yet time and again it has to be emphasised that all nations endorse different schools of thought but that the knowledge about Jesus Christ and His act of Salvation has to be taken to every single nation so that their liberation from the body can still be completed on earth. And although the various schools of thought and religions do not match each other, the teaching of love in each one will nevertheless be the decisive factor, and maturity will be attained by the one who lives up to love, and the disposition for this is indeed inherent in every nation .... But people will intensify and deepen their contact with each other around the world and that also means that they can all be informed of Jesus Christ and His act of Salvation, so that He can be acknowledged and the dedication to Him can follow, which then will also lead to unity with Me, to the return to Me, and that release from the physical form will be guaranteed, so that the once fallen original spirit reaches its goal and returns home again into its Father's house to be blissfully happy, as it was in the beginning ....

Ecclesiastical organisation ....

B.D. 8238 from August 12th 1962, taken from Book No. 87

There is still a lot I have to tell you since much error has yet to be eliminated if you humans want to live in truth. But My spirit can only work to a limited extent, to the extent which corresponds to your state of maturity. In order to absorb knowledge which is as yet entirely unfamiliar to you, the recipient's surrender to Me has to be so heartfelt that My spirit can flow into him unimpeded. You humans will ask why I allowed such considerable distortion of the truth which originated from Me to result in this great spiritual darkness of humanity. In reply to this I must repeat that man's free will resists any limitation if he belongs to My adversary whose will he fulfils on earth. Since it is My adversary's sole objective to prevent people on earth from recognising their God and Creator .... since he is only interested in extinguishing or darkening every light from Me, and since he has the same right to influence the human being's will, the truth will always be contaminated again. Because the adversary wants to distort My image, he wants to portray Me to people such that they shall not feel love for Me, and in order to achieve this he will use any means.

After I accomplished My act of Salvation on earth, My pure Gospel was spread across the world by My disciples ....

They had received the truth from Me in its purest form and passed it on equally as pure, since they were filled by My spirit. However, people's nature varied, their souls were still burdened by the original sin, and they were still a part of My adversary although he could not force them to surrender to him completely. But the hereditary evils .... arrogance and thirst for power, .... were still present in them to a substantial extent. And these were used by him to influence them and to sow the seeds of discord even among the followers of My teaching, of the pure Gospel. And a few people became particularly prominent and founded organisations of their own accord, promoted themselves to administrators and thus developed an establishment with many earthly and worldly interests. And thus My adversary, whose greatest objective was to undermine the truth of the Gospel, already played his part ....

Hence the light grew consistently dimmer and adverse influences established different teachings which were not recognised as misguided teachings, but were ardently defended as allegedly having been conveyed by Me to these administrators, who subsequently also demanded faith in them by the members of that organisation, which became extremely powerful in due course .... Every human being could and should have realised that an organisation with people who want to dominate could never have been built by Me because I taught 'service with love ....', whereas the adversary's action promotes thirst for power and hunger for dominance .... And every person can still form his own opinion today as to where these characteristics can still be clearly detected. However, he has free will ....

If I had used My power to destroy such organisations it would have interfered with the human being's free will, because the final maturing of the soul during earthly life has to be an act of complete free will if the person is to achieve perfection. My adversary has certainly erected a work of deception which has caused much harm to people's souls, but I gave the human being intellect and provided him with blessings in abundance .... I gave him the blessing of prayer and have come so close to people that they could call to Me in prayer. And if only they had prayed for receiving the truth and protection from error .... truly, their spirit would have become enlightened, and they would not have been deceived by lies and error .... Every person should think carefully, because it is for this reason he has intellect; if he fails to do so it is his own fault that he is far removed from the truth, that he has allowed himself to be captivated by misguided teachings .... Because every human being is My living creation and is intended to reach maturity on earth. I long for his return to Me and will truly provide him with every opportunity to do so, but he has to use these opportunities of his own free will. For I do not force this free will but My adversary cannot force it either ....

In view of this you will also understand that I will repeatedly ensure that the pure truth is conveyed to people, that I will expose misguided teachings, prove them to be wrong and denounce them, so that it certainly will be possible for the truly willing human being to live in truth. But he will also have to make every effort to free himself from the structure of lies erected by the one who will always attempt to increase the darkness on earth and employ every possible means to extinguish the light. However, it is difficult for the truth to penetrate because people's thinking is already so distorted that it cannot free itself from traditional spiritual knowledge and thus every bearer of light commissioned by Me to spread My light will come under attack .... But there cannot be clarity as long as people are not given a full explanation, and people will continue to fight each other as long as they do not approach Me with the genuine desire for truth. Not until then will they receive light and subsequently try to disassociate themselves from spiritual knowledge which they had upheld as truth but which emerged from the adversary, who is an enemy of truth because he is in hostile opposition to Me ....

Amen

God's light of love is insight and knowledge ....

B.D. 8239 from August 13th 1962, taken from Book No. 87

Wherever I can convey the light from above the darkness which My adversary has spread across the earth will be chased away. People who allow My light of love to flow into them ...., who thus read My word conveyed to you from above and move it in their hearts, will become knowledgeable, the veil which hung before their eyes will lift .... it will flash within them and they will attain brightest knowledge about things which were previously hidden or incomprehensible to them. For My light of love has a powerful effect if only no resistance is offered to it. You humans need no longer fear darkness of spirit if only you wanted to listen to Me and let My words penetrate your heart .... Yet you are mostly indifferent and yet you are offered something delicious when you are allowed to receive My word through My messengers. And if you feel addressed by Me then My word has entered you, your heart has been touched by My word and you awaken from a state of twilight which is your fate as long as you have no spiritual knowledge .... But if these are offered to you in the form of My word then they will also make you happy as soon as you are of good will, i.e. if you want to fulfil the will of your God and father Who called you into being. As long as you are ignorant you will only live your earthly life ..... But if you are given knowledge which corresponds to the truth then you will start to live a spiritual life on this earth. And then you will become enlightened, you will ask questions and receive answers, for I Myself will intervene in your thinking when I see that you desire light. And only now will life appear worth living to you, although you separate yourselves from the desire for matter, but you have recognized a higher purpose and you will pursue it and seek to reach the goal. My will is only that you step out of darkness, that you desire the light and gratefully accept it from Me when I kindle a light in your hearts, when I convey knowledge to you which signifies light for you, because you enter earth completely ignorant and life is and remains an idle course for you as long as you don't kindle a light within yourselves in which you now recognize everything brightly and clearly and thus can now also live a conscious earthly life .... conscious of your outcome, your earthly task and the goal which consists of unification with Me .... And you can receive this knowledge from Me at any time if you listen to My word from above and live it out, if you are not only listeners but doers of My word. Then all shadows will vanish, the correlations will be bright and clear to you and you will also gain knowledge of My nature, you will feel that I Myself am love and you will then also offer your love to Me .... then you can no longer remain in the night of death, you long for light yourselves and I will also let it shine brightly in you, for I love you and don't want you to dwell in darkness .... I Myself am the light from eternity which descends to you, which shines into your hearts and shall only be willingly accepted by you in order to then also make you unspeakably happy ....

Amen

God's abundant measure of grace before the end ....

B.D. 8240 from August 14th 1962, taken from Book No. 87

A great treasure of grace is still at your disposal, for I know that you need it in this time which precedes the last end. My adversary proceeds with cunning and trickery, for he knows that his time has expired and that the power he still possesses will soon be snatched from him, because he has a large following which is in bondage to him and thus strengthens his power. And since people cannot be forced by him either but rather belong to him voluntarily, I will only snatch his power from him when the day of the end has come, when I take account and every being is assigned the fate it deserves. But I help My own to be able to resist because he will also harass them severely .... I still pour out abundant blessings and only ever call upon you humans to make use of them and to evaluate them correctly .... I Myself dwell in the midst of you in My word .... I sound My voice and address you .... I instruct you and inform you of all correlations, I initiate you into My plan of salvation, I let you take note of My rule and activity, of My loving care for you, of your weaknesses and open a source of strength for you so that you will not sink down wearily on the path you still have to cover before the end .... I help you to successfully cover the path that leads out of the valley of death into the realms of eternal life .... And you truly need not be despondent, you need not look anxiously into the future, you will also cover the last short distance and reach the goal because you want to belong to Me, thus you are Mine and I will not abandon My own, whatever may come. Yet for the sake of the whole of humanity an unspeakable amount of suffering will still befall the earth which I cannot avert because it is still the last means of salvation to persuade the lukewarm to return to Me, to snatch them back from the abyss which they irrevocably approach if they continue to walk the path as before .... Even the great tribulation which is yet to come is a grace on My part, for it can still bring about a change, it can still drive people to Me, they can remember their God and creator in greatest adversity and call upon Him, and then they will also be heard by Me, I will still accept them in the last hour. I will truly bestow My grace upon you in abundance, for I know that you are weak and in need of much help, and I want to give you this help in order to protect you from the severe fate of a new banishment, which, however, is your fate if you leave My grace unutilised .... Yet the adversary's activity prompts Me to counteract him to the same extent, even though the human being's free will is always the decisive factor and must be left up to you. The redeemer's work in the last days is extensive on earth as well as in the kingdom of the beyond, because all spiritual beings full of light want to help the immature, unredeemed, and everyone will be blessed who joins this redeemer's work, who wants to be an eager co-worker in My vineyard, who faithfully serves Me as a servant and to whom I can therefore assign the work which brings Me success. Time and again I have to tell you the same thing, and you should see from it how much I care about your cooperation and how everyone who serves Me of his own free will pleases Me. For the time is coming to an end .... Only a short period of time remains for you humans, and this shall still bring salvation to many, so that you will not be lost again for eternity, so that you will attain life which lasts forever.

Amen

Upward trend takes place as the drop took place ....

B.D. 8241 from August 15th 1962, taken from Book No. 87

Know that the regression of My once fallen beings into a child of God proceeds in exactly the same way as the apostasy from Me once took place. The beings distanced themselves from Me by willingly renouncing their love for Me, by rejecting every illumination of love from Me and believing that they would be able to exist without it and that they would also be and remain powerful without it as before .... Now to the extent that their rebellion against Me increased, to the extent that they thereby distanced themselves from My flow of love which, although it continued to radiate through all beings .... otherwise they would have passed away .... but which lost its effectiveness in the face of their resistance .... to the same extent their spirit darkened, thus they lost all realization, all light, all knowledge about their relationship to Me, their God and creator .... Their thinking became confused until they became completely incapable of thinking and powerless because no strength flowed to them anymore, because love remained ineffective .... and this state was called the 'fall into the abyss', which also resulted in the spiritual substance hardening and these fallen beings now possessed neither self-awareness nor the ability to think because I dissolved this substance. Thus, after the emergence of My creation there were no I-conscious beings but these fallen beings were dissolved into smallest particles which were incorporated into the individual works of creation and their upward development began according to My will. And as long as this process through creation continues for the purpose of transforming the spiritual substance which resists Me, we can only ever speak of 'spiritual entities', of particles of a fallen original spirit, for eternities will pass until all these particles belonging to a once fallen original spirit have gathered again. But once the unification of all particles has taken place, the being, the original spirit, will be equally ignorant, for it has certainly worked its way up from the deepest abyss with My help, yet it is still in darkness and first has to reach the light again, which can happen in its last incarnation .... in the stage as a human being .... The original spirit embodies itself as a 'soul' in the human being, and he starts the last earthly path with self-awareness, intellect and free will and thus has to prove himself .... He must pass the last test of will in all freedom .... Just as he lost his ego-consciousness during his fall, during his dissolution into countless particles, so he will again become an ego-conscious being when all the particles have reunited to form that original spirit, which now only has to find its way out of the darkness into the light, for which purpose its existence as a human being on earth has been given to it .... He had once renounced all light by freely rejecting the ray of light of love from Me, and he would not reach the light in his existence as a human being either, since he is completely without love, which he once rejected .... But love alone can give light, and therefore I joined him with a divine spark of love which can now bring about enlightenment from within, which can give the being knowledge again, which can introduce it to its lost knowledge again, which can change the soul such that it can thus increase in light just as it once lost it .... The human being has free will and need only turn this will towards Me Myself, then he consciously opens himself to My illumination of love again, as he once rejected it .... And My love for this being has not diminished, it has pursued it and also wants to give itself unmeasured to the being again, and if My love is now consciously accepted then the once fallen being will also return to Me, it will be the same original being again which originated from Me as a 'creature' but as My 'child' has now found its way back to the father and is now eternally blissful in light and strength and freedom ....

The mind should not be overestimated .... response - heart ....

B.D. 8242 from August 16th 1962, taken from Book No. 87

Nothing will remain unanswered for you which moves you as a spiritual question, for it shall become light in you again, and you shall receive this light from Me, from the eternal light which wants to radiate into the darkness in order to chase it away completely. But it is important that you desire it from Me Myself, that you therefore consciously and voluntarily open yourselves to receive My ray of love which you once voluntarily rejected .... The fire of love radiates the light of wisdom .... My eternal fire of love will and must shine brightly and thus also give light, i.e. deepest realization, knowledge of pure truth and penetration into deepest wisdoms .... My light of love gives brightest enlightenment about all correlations which concern the creature with its creator and which also give you humans a correct image of your God and creator. During the time of your existence as a human being you can be introduced to extensive knowledge but only ever by Me Myself, Who is the eternal truth and Whom you must appeal to for the supply of truth .... Yet you will remain ignorant if you only try to penetrate the secrets of creation with your intellect, My reign and activity, My plan of eternity .... and the state of ignorance is spiritual darkness .... it is night around your soul, it recognizes nothing and therefore does not feel happy in its darkened state. But it can change it itself, because only an earnest desire for enlightenment can cause it to turn to Me and ask Me to give it light .... And truly, the eternal light will let its rays fall into your heart and the darkness of spirit will be removed .... Once My ray of light of love has ignited in you, then the flame of love will shine ever brighter, because you will now be inwardly stimulated into loving activity and this will signify an ever firmer bond with Me, Who is eternal love .... And the degree of your love will always increase and you will see ever more brightly, you will truly be able to penetrate everything, and there will be no limit to the amount of knowledge you may receive, because your original state was brightest realization and you shall attain this original state again. Therefore, every person who lives in love will be allowed to ask Me questions, and he will always be able to expect an answer .... There shall be no gap in your knowledge for you who entrust yourselves to Me and faithfully ask Me Myself for light, for knowledge .... For I want you to regain everything you once voluntarily gave away .... I want there to be no more unsolved problems for you which you faithfully submit to Me, and thus I also want you not to be afraid to ask what you are not yet fully enlightened about. You should only ever receive the answer through your heart and not rate your intellect too highly, for it alone is unable to give you a sufficient and truthful answer if it is not conveyed to it by the heart, which was illuminated by Me Myself with My light, which now no longer allows for darkness and therefore will also make you happy. Thus you first have to develop love within yourselves by voluntarily opening yourselves to Me and desiring a ray of love from Me which then impels you into loving activity, and the light within you can then shine ever brighter .... because I Myself, the light of love from eternity, can now take abode in your hearts as soon as you have prepared this abode for Me through a life of love, as it is My will .... Then you can be certain of My presence, and then I will constantly instruct you, because through love the bond is established between your spiritual spark and the father-spirit of eternity .... And then I Myself can work in you through My spirit .... Understand that only love gives you light and that anyone who lives in love is intimately united with Me so that My flow of strength can flow into him unhindered, and this therefore also means brightest realization .... that the being will regain its original state in which it stood in brightest light, and it has now aligned itself with My nature again because it has attained light itself, because it now allows itself to be constantly illuminated by Me again and has now finally overcome the darkness ....

Informing the soul about earthly life ....

B.D. 8243 from August 17th 1962, taken from Book No. 87

As soon as you ask Me a question I will answer and instruct you, so that you understand correctly and all ambiguity is lifted: The earthly progress of a human being's embodied soul .... of the once fallen original spirit .... is a difficult test of its will which is as free as it was when the original spirit came forth from Me. For it is fought over by two sides and it alone will determine the outcome of this battle. Spiritual guardians will always stand by its side but they may not interfere with its free will .... And at the same time countless adverse forces endeavour to cause the human being's fall once more .... However, it is possible for him to master the latter by unwaveringly turning his will towards Me and thereby constantly receiving strength to resist and pass his test of will.

But since the original spirit is still completely without knowledge at the onset of its incarnation as a human being; since, due to its apostasy, due to its rejection of My light of love, it has deprived itself of its light, knowledge and awareness, it has to be instructed, and this takes place from outside and from within .... through My spiritual spark inside of him which ceaselessly urges it into doing kind deeds, and then also imparts an inner light to the human being. In addition, I will always direct a human being's circumstances such that he will be able to learn from them, because time and again spiritual guardians will influence his thoughts to take the right direction, to muster the will to turn to Me, and then I will be able to work exceptionally in him Myself. Thus I take every care that the original spirit will be able to reach its objective as a human being during its earthly existence once it has expressed its will to undertake this final test of will as a human being. But no soul .... no original spirit .... having passed through the creation in the state of compulsion .... will be forced into this final incarnation .... The state of compulsion comes to an end the moment all small particles of an original spirit have congregated again, and from this moment on this original spirit will be free once again, it will not be subjected to coercion, neither from My nor from My adversary's side .... It will be able to determine its own fate. During the time of its higher development from the abyss its resistance to Me will have diminished to a point that it will then be fully mature in order to live on earth as a human being, yet it will have to accept this gift of grace voluntarily .... And therefore it will also be informed of its earthly destiny .... As a result of My permission the original spirit realises that it is not yet at home where glories await it, and it wants them .... But it also realises that only the development as a human being will lead it back into its lost home .... It also knows that it will have to occupy a form again, and this knowledge can still delay its life as a human being .... Still, as a rule it will readily accept the embodiment as a human being and feel strong enough to pass its final test of will.

Nevertheless, it should make its own free decision and therefore it is shown its earthly progress by observing itself in various situations and, believing itself able to overcome them with ease, is thus also willing to travel the final path in the form .... However, I know every single original spirit's degree of maturity, and I Am able to let it visualize its earthly progress like a vision, I also know how this dream-like occurrence affects the individual soul and Am able to induce its embodiment into the human form accordingly, which only becomes a living being when the original spirit has taken possession of it.

You humans should believe that everything is possible with Me, that I Am even able to touch a completely blind spirit with a spark of light to enable its vision for a few moments .... and that these moments suffice to activate its will, which the original spirit is able to use again once all its substances have reunited .... You should also know and believe that I do not require any length of time and yet My will brings forth what I consider necessary .... And this expression of will by an original spirit to accept the human form is necessary, for it has left its constrained state and should now also freely decide to accept its earthly progress as a human being. But the human being's physical body only becomes viable when the original spirit has occupied it as a 'soul'. Only then will the person be guided by his guardian angels, he will be gradually familiarised with knowledge, and will then have to mature as a human being first before his free will and intellect can rationally express themselves .... It is the last process of development on this earth which can give complete deliverance to the original spirit providing it takes notice of the small voice within, of the inner urge which is the manifestation of the divine spark placed by Me into the person ....

However, during earthly life My adversary has the same claim on him, and he will also try to assert it .... The human being is at all times subject to influences from above and below, however, he himself has to decide who will gain power over him. And this is his final test of will, that he consciously strives towards Me as his God and Father, and no-one can make this free decision for him, nevertheless, he is granted assistance in every way because I, too, long for his return and, like a truly good Father, will guide My child by the hand if only it will reach out for it and allow itself to be drawn by Me .... For I want all My living creations to become blissfully happy, and I have truly taken all possibilities into account in order to achieve this very goal of Mine ....

Amen

Divine address proof of fatherly care ....

B.D. 8244 from August 18th 1962, taken from Book No. 87

It should not seem strange to you that you can establish a direct connection with Me in which I speak to you in the most natural way. It is I Who created you and Who will sustain you as long as you live on earth, Who is therefore a true father to His children and will also act like a father towards you. And the fact that the father constantly wants to speak to His child needs no special emphasis, for it is always My address which is the most natural evidence of fatherly care .... For the father loves His child and also wants to be loved by it again. Yet you humans still live in a world which is far removed from My kingdom, and you first have to learn to understand that this world is not your true home .... For you had separated yourselves from Me, you had left the kingdom of light and distanced yourselves from Me. And therefore the feeling of belonging together with Me is not yet within you .... And you cannot understand that you, as a human being, can hear Me Myself, that I express Myself to you, that a ray of love falls to earth from My kingdom which emanates from Me and shall strike your hearts .... You feel the great distance between yourselves and Me and it is not believable to you that I lean down and speak to you as a father speaks to his child. But I want you to believe it and that each one of you desires to hear My voice ..... For I would like to tell you many things which will bring salvation to your soul, and I would like to exchange thoughts with you again as it was in the beginning when I transferred My thoughts to you and they resounded in you like spoken words which you then moved within yourselves and returned your thoughts to Me again and were thereby blissfully happy .... But you do not know about your original state and your former unity with Me, because your spirit darkened due to the former apostasy from Me .... But when I speak to you I can give you back some light again so that you mentally approach Me again and the spiritual exchange can take place again, which will now also make you happy again. Therefore you should first know in what connection you stood with Me and what relationship now exists between you and Me .... For I want you to gain trust in Me again and draw closer to Me, that you acknowledge Me as your father and show Me love again .... And therefore I reveal Myself to you humans time and again and convey this knowledge of My living creation's fundamental relationship with Me to you, for it is the most natural thing in the world for the father to speak to His child. And you need only willingly listen to Me, you need only turn your thoughts towards Me and give Me your will by not wanting to possess any other will but Mine, for then you will subject your will to Mine and the original relationship in which you were immeasurably happy will be restored. Just always desire My address, and truly, you will feel like My children and approach Me with childlike love and confidence .... And soon you will kindle a light of love within yourselves which will enlighten you, all ignorance will have been taken from you, and you will know why and for what purpose you walk the earth and, bearing this in mind, now conduct your way of life in love, because you will be urged by My divine light of love within you to be lovingly active and then you will also fulfil your purpose on earth and reach the final goal, that you will completely unite with Me and be able to hear My word in you again, as it was in the beginning ....

Amen

Incarnation of many light beings in the last days ....

B.D. 8245 from August 19th 1962, taken from Book No. 87

The fact that it has become necessary for so many beings of light to incarnate on earth in the last days is because people only develop very little love, with the result that the spiritual darkness has increased .... Thus light shall be brought to humanity. They do not kindle the flame within themselves which would provide them with the necessary illumination, consequently the light has to be brought to them from outside, that is, they have to be taught by fellow human beings who know the truth, that is, who possess a light. The embodied beings of light become knowledgeable as human beings by living a life of love, for at the start of their incarnation this knowledge is strange to them as well, since they, like everyone else, first have to educate themselves in order to become bearers of light which, however, comes easy to them because they are willing to love and love is the light which enlightens them from within. Hence I convey My Word to earth through them, I bestow light upon people so that they will be introduced to the knowledge of their original state, their apostasy and their task during their human existence .... Therefore they are not without knowledge even if they live without love, but they receive clarification and only need to be of good will in order to also accept the explanations and live their life accordingly. And especially the bearers of light .... these embodied beings of light .... are rarely listened to, for they preach and demand a life of love, which is a requirement their fellow human beings don't want to live up to. Thus there will still be a great struggle by the world of light for the souls of people who close their eyes and ears and listen instead to the voice of the world.

As a result, two directions can very clearly be recognised: people who reject all light will walk along in profound spiritual darkness, whereas other people will emanate light to their fellow human beings and live a way of life according to My commandments, and there the light will increase, people will have knowledge at their disposal which will give them great joy because they then recognise the purpose of their earthly life .... People need support for they no longer do anything to find their way out of spiritual darkness, their will is weak because it is constrained by God's adversary, and as long as the human being lives entirely without love he is still part of the one who had pulled him into darkness. This is why the human being has to be told time and again to practise love, and he will always be supported by the world of light so that he will become enlightened himself and realise why he is living on earth. For this reason God speaks to people through mediators, through beings of light, who have embodied themselves on earth and voluntarily muster the will to enter into close contact with their God and Creator of eternity .... who want to bring salvation to their fellow human beings and return His children to their heavenly Father if they don't resist their efforts, if they accept the light, if they allow themselves to be permeated by the Eternal Light, which always happens when people are willing to listen to God's Word and live accordingly .... Then the darkness will be penetrated and people will become knowledgeable and come to realise that they have a Father Who wants to help them return to Him and therefore sends His messengers to them to spread the light which they receive from God Himself .... And there will still be a struggle for all souls which live in darkness of spirit, for people shall still be saved before the end and will escape the dreadful fate of being banished again into the creations of the new earth ....

Mission of the light beings .... Awakening of the spirit of God .... Redemptive work of Jesus Christ ....

B.D. 8246 from August 20th 1962, taken from Book No. 87

When the knowledge of Jesus Christ and His act of salvation is imparted to you, when the spiritual mission of the man Jesus is explained to you, My spirit must always be at work in you, irrespective of whether you receive this knowledge from Me directly or accept it from My messengers .... For only the spirit will open up the understanding for you, and only through the spirit can you receive such instruction from above .... This knowledge is the most important thing, for you must take note of the great work of mercy which was accomplished for you for the sake of your original sin, and you must be enlightened about the spiritual correlations, about the spiritual mission of the man Jesus, because you must call upon Him, because you should carry your guilt of sin under His cross, because you should acknowledge Him as redeemer of the world .... And this knowledge of Jesus Christ will truly come forth from Me, for My adversary endeavours to take precisely the faith in Jesus as divine redeemer away from people, and therefore he will never testify to the fact that „Jesus Christ has come into the flesh...“ And this is how you recognize the „divine“ spirit which is always active when you are introduced to the truth, when the knowledge of Jesus Christ and His act of salvation is presented to you .... And My spirit also works where people still walk in darkness, if only a vessel can be found into which it can pour. You humans can certainly do much to enlighten your fellow human beings who are still completely blind in spirit, and you will truly accomplish blessed work, because all people shall find redemption through Him, because all people shall carry their guilt under the cross of Christ .... Yet I will also work through My spirit, for people will be everywhere who live a life of love, who long for truth, for profound knowledge, and whom I can now also introduce through My spirit. Only the willingness to accept enlightenment must be present, otherwise My spirit cannot work in such a way that it instructs a person from within. This is why many beings of light are embodied on earth during the time of the end which enable the transmission of My word from above, which can now also impart the knowledge of Jesus Christ to those who are still in complete ignorance and therefore also run the risk that their souls will not find redemption in their earthly life. The knowledge which is passed on from person to person usually does not remain pure, and therefore it is necessary time and again that the pure truth is conveyed to people through the working of the spirit. Love and faith, however, are very deficient, and therefore people also live in spiritual darkness .... But if a being of light descends to earth for a redeeming mission then it also brings a degree of love with it which seeks constant contact with the source of love .... with Me .... and it seeks to increase its degree of love .... And thus it is also possible for Me to address its spirit, and it will listen to it and thus serve Me as a mediator, so that I can give people an enlightenment about the mission of the man Jesus, about the original sin guilt and about the redemption from this guilt. Yet only truthful knowledge serves people, otherwise they reject it and cannot take the path to the cross and then also enter the kingdom of light, because the redemption through Jesus Christ is a prerequisite for this .... No human being can be spared the path to the cross, otherwise he will pass over into the kingdom of the beyond burdened by original sin, where he can indeed still find Jesus Christ but he will never reach the degree he could have reached on earth through the act of salvation, through the rich treasure of grace which is now at his disposal and which also guarantees him the achievement of his goal on earth: that he will unite with Me, Who accomplished the act of salvation for humanity Myself in Jesus Christ, completely free from his guilt ....

Few people know about the plan of salvation ....

B.D. 8247 from August 20th 1962, taken from Book No. 87

It is only a small part of humanity to whom I can impart the knowledge of My eternal plan of salvation, for the majority has no bond with Me because they lack love and faith. Only those people will ever have knowledge of My plan of salvation, which includes the return of the spiritual substance which once fell away from Me, who, in an earnest will to know the truth, ask questions about the meaning and purpose of their earthly life .... They will also receive a truthful answer, and thus all spiritual correlations and people's relationship with their God and creator will also be explained to them, which then also includes My eternal plan of salvation. But how few seriously deal with such questioning thoughts, and thus it is only a small flock to whom I can communicate Myself directly or through messengers, and they will mostly be regarded as eccentrics and ridiculed by their fellow human beings .... But the latter no longer go blindly through earthly life but they live it consciously, they pay attention to themselves and their surroundings, they also pay attention to world events, and they recognize the time in which they live and know that the plan of salvation will be carried out by Me as it was established in My wisdom and love. For I have known from eternity the time when people's low level can no longer be surpassed, I have known since eternity about people's will and when the day will come which will put an end to people's disenchanted activity as well as My adversary's activity. And as it has been decided it will also be carried out, and therefore My predictions can certainly be expected, only you humans will not know when this day is, and even the few who have knowledge of My plan of salvation will remain uncertain until the end but nevertheless recognize by the signs of the time what the world clock has struck. Yet they will not be able to count on faith and understanding that people live in the last days and face a final decision .... For anyone who has no knowledge of the spiritual kingdom, who only sees the final goal in the earthly world of life, has deaf ears and blind eyes, and in no way will he make an effort to live responsibly, precisely because he does not believe and because love has also grown cold amongst people which could kindle a light in them. And thus only a hustle and striving for earthly gain can be recognized on earth, the body is considered and every thought only applies to its comfort and the fulfilment of earthly wishes. People have no room in their hearts for spiritual thoughts, they are inwardly empty and the souls are in great distress. But nothing else can happen from My side but to repeatedly point out to these worldly people the life which will come afterwards when they have to leave their earthly body .... But whether they are presented daily with the sudden departure of fellow human beings, whether they hear of catastrophes or accidents which suddenly take many people away .... they only take indifferent note of it and rather believe that with the death of their body they sink into nothingness ..... Nor can they be given any evidence that their thinking is wrong .... But with an earnest will they could come to believe in a continuation of life, but they lack it. However, My plan of salvation is being carried out, and time and again I convey this knowledge to people so that they can take a stand themselves if they don't reject My messengers unwillingly but think about what is proclaimed to them by them. Time and again I try to rouse weak or ignorant people from their spiritual lethargy, and I pursue every human soul with My love and want to help it gain a glimmer of realization so that it may take refuge in Me in hours of greatest adversity .... And it will still be helped in its last hour, yet it must take the path to Me itself, it must appeal to Me for help and mercy in its weakness .... it must want to be saved before it is too late .... For the day is set, and it will be kept, and it will come as it is proclaimed by word and scripture ....

God's infinite love for His living creations ....

B.D. 8248 from August 22nd 1962, taken from Book No. 87

If you are granted insight into My reign and activity then it should also be evidence for you that you humans mean incredibly much to Me even though you live your earthly life in an imperfect state and thus your nature is still very poorly shaped. Nevertheless you can regard yourselves as the crowning glory of creation, for apart from you no other being exists that ranks higher than the human being, merely the individual soul can be shaped differently according to his degree of love. But he is always the being I once externalised in all perfection, which was an image of Myself and shall become it again .... But My work of creation will never lose its value for Me even if it voluntarily degenerated itself by reversing its perfect state into a completely opposite one .... However, since this occurrence entirely contradicted My eternal order I will leave no stone unturned so as to establish order again and I truly know how this can be achieved .... For love let you arise and love will not let anything go astray .... Love seeks unity and also changes wrong characteristics back into their original state. For love is a strength which can accomplish anything, yet again it only works in lawful order. I created beings for Myself with whom I wanted to work together and who therefore had to have the same will as My own .... And they had been indeed supremely perfect, and My love for them was intense and constantly gave itself to these living creations. Love wants to give, it wants to make happy but it also wants to receive love in return .... I want My emanated love to reflect back to Me which also constantly increases the Creator's as well as the created beings' bliss .... And because it is only possible for the living creation to reverse its nature to its original state in the stage as a human being .... since the living creation is able to respond to My love again when it lives on earth as a human being .... the human being means so incredibly much to Me; he is, after all, close to achieving the goal and My help will constantly be granted to him and he can always know himself to be supported by My love .... He can rest assured that he will always be well cared for by Me, that he will not be left at the mercy of his self-chosen destiny, because the return to Me, the change of his nature into its original state, is My goal and I will never lose sight of this goal even if the human being still resists Me, because I do not compel his free will.

However, I know that one day he will voluntarily return to Me and I will do whatever it takes in order to shorten the time in which he is separated from Me .... even though the human being's free will remains decisive .... And for the sake of achieving this retransformation the whole of creation emerged around you, for My love searched for and found a way, and My wisdom guided you to this path when you had fallen .... My love did not diminish, and this is why your return to Me will take place one day, for love will achieve everything .... And even your process across earth as a human being is an incredible offering of love on My part which I gave to the once fallen beings because I created them as God-like beings, as My images, which were extremely happy in My proximity .... And they shall be allowed to experience the same blissfulness again and also stay in My presence again if they voluntarily take the path to Me in earthly life, if they feel so strongly illuminated by My love that it draws them to Me because they want to reciprocate My love. Your love is only so weak because you are still unenlightened or in possession of little knowledge .... But with increasing realisation it will grow and I will be able to convey more knowledge to you, I will be able to reveal more profound wisdom to you which will also increase your love for Me and you will recognise your Father in Me, and it will become ever more understandable that you are being held and carried by My greater than great love, that I do not write any of My living creations off or leave it at the mercy of its destiny .... And your love will also grow as soon as you learn to recognise Me and My nature, as soon as all correlations become clear to you .... as soon as you allow yourselves to be taught by Me Myself and thus are permitted to gain insight into My reign and activity ....

Amen

Request for God's grace, power and blessing ....

B.D. 8249 from August 23rd 1962, taken from Book No. 87

Only ever request My grace, My strength of love and My blessing .... And you will truly cover your earthly path with success, for then you will walk by My hand, you will use the measure of grace I pour out upon you, you will let My flow of love flow into your hearts and I will look after you on all your paths .... you enjoy My protection, and like a father I will protect My children from all hostile influence .... because you want Me to take care of you, otherwise you would not approach Me for grace, strength of love and blessing. You thereby prove to Me your will turned towards Me, your desire to enter into intimate contact with Me again, and thus you are on the path of return to Me. And you reach your goal, the final union with Me. You consciously profess Me and have thus also passed your test of will for the purpose of which you go across earth. But you will only appeal to Me for grace, strength and My blessing if love has been kindled in you, for love urges you to love, and without love you would have completely different goals than Me, your God and father .... Without love you would still belong to the world, which is My adversary's kingdom, for then there is perverse love in you, the inclination towards matter. You desire that which you have long since overcome, and then you are in a terrible state, for the time on earth passes quickly and if it has not brought you the transformation of your selfish love into unselfish, divine love, then your earthly course was in vain and you sink back into the darkness from which you had worked your way up through agony and toil until your existence as a human being .... But therefore I rejoice in every person who seeks Me of his own accord, who longs for My grace, My strength and My blessing .... and truly, I will grant him all these in abundance. The human being needs much strength and support for his pilgrimage on this earth, for he is still weak and constantly exposed to temptations by My adversary who wants to prevent him from reaching the height .... And an ascent is also impossible for him by his own strength, yet he has a spark of My divine love within himself, and he only needs to ignite it and his strength will increase, he will be able to resist My adversary, for love is strength, it is My divine influx which he can constantly increase if only he practices love, if he performs works of love and thus unites himself ever more with Me, Who is love, and he now also increases in strength .... This is why his prayer for strength and grace is so extremely valuable, for it is a spiritual request which I will never let go unfulfilled and which you will receive in abundance, and you will always make use of My influx of strength of love and grace to work with love, because the strength which emanates from Me and now fills your hearts constantly drives you to do so. And you should also recognize everything that daily life brings you as a means of grace which helps you to become blissfully happy ..... But above all, avail yourselves of the grace of My word, for truly, My word will impart everything to you, because it is a direct emanation of love on My part and has to fill every person with strength who receives My word and moves it in his heart .... This is the greatest gift of grace I can offer to My living creations on earth, to people, because they can become My children through My word, because they are in intimate bond with Me as soon as My word sounds to them, and because they hear the father's voice Who wants to impart everything to His children .... comfort, strength and extensive knowledge through which they learn to recognize and love their God and father and thus love urges love and then the unification can also take place, which is the purpose and goal of their earthly life. "Ask and it will be given to you ...." Always remember this promise of Mine and prayerfully request everything you lack from Me: strength and grace and My blessing .... for this will never be addressed to Me in vain ....

God and Jesus are one .... Human manifestation of God ....

B.D. 8250 from August 24th 1962, taken from Book No. 87

That the human spiritual state is growing increasingly darker is revealed by fact that people are no longer able to understand God’s ‘becoming One’ with Jesus properly .... and that they therefore also lack the right comprehension for God’s ‘human manifestation’ .... Owing to the misguided teaching of the three-person Deity they began to think wrongly. Yet, time and again, it has to be said that the eternal Deity cannot be personified .... thus It cannot be conceived as anything other than power permeating the whole of eternity .... This power cannot be limited nor can it be thought of as a ‘form’ .... but it can permeate a form completely .... And this process of complete permeation by divine strength occurred in the man Jesus ....

He was full of love and love is the fundamental substance of the eternal Deity .... ceaselessly emanated into infinity, which creates and maintains everything .... And this divine strength of love permeated the human form of Jesus and thus manifested itself in Him. God’s fundamental nature took abode in the man Jesus and thus God became ‘human’ .... and since Jesus was completely filled with the fundamental substance of God, He became ‘God’ .... Because even His completely spiritualised human form was able to wholly unify with God after His crucifixion so that Jesus then became the comprehensible Deity .... that the human being cannot imagine God other than in Jesus .... but that it cannot ever be a question of ‘two people’ .... The human being Jesus had achieved the goal on earth, the complete deification, which all created beings should achieve .... Because God wanted to create images of Himself whose final perfection, however, had to be achieved by the free will of the being itself. Jesus the man achieved this deification not only on account of a life of love, but with the act of Salvation He also redeemed humanity’s guilt of sin .... for He used God’s strength of love or He would have been unable to bear the terrible suffering and crucifixion. This strength of love was God’s fundamental nature, thus God Himself was within the man Jesus in all fullness and accomplished the act of Salvation ....

However, it is a misleading concept when you humans speak of a three-person God because the eternal Deity cannot be personified since It is pure love, and this love manifested Itself in Jesus, and thus the eternal spirit God was working in Jesus, and to all beings He can only be comprehensible in Jesus .... Since God’s former created beings had abandoned Him because they could not see Him, He became a visible God to them in Jesus .... But Jesus is not a second being that could be thought of as existing next to God .... He is God because God is strength of love, Which permeates a fully spiritualised form, thus it consists entirely of divine fundamental substance and is therefore only visible to those beings who have also become spiritualised in order to see spiritually.

It is certainly correct to describe God’s nature as Father, Son and Holy Spirit if the Father is acknowledged as love, the Son as wisdom and the Holy Spirit as the will or power of God .... Because God’s nature is love, wisdom and power .... But the goal God had set for Himself when He created the beings, the voluntary deification of these beings, also explains .... when it is achieved .... God’s manifestation in Jesus .... the visible Deity in Jesus, while the three-person Deity does not allow for a correct, i.e. truthful explanation. People have created their own concepts which obstruct their spiritual maturing process, because only one God can be called upon; three different Gods may not be prayed to but God Himself wants to be acknowledged in Jesus, and hence He can only be worshipped in Jesus .... And He demands this acknowledgment of all human beings, because this acknowledgment had been denied to Him in the past, and because the act of Salvation has to be accepted at the same time .... Because no person can find forgiveness of his original sin without Jesus Christ, and therefore the human being has to declare his belief in Him .... he has to believe that God Himself has shown compassion for humanity and accomplished the act of Salvation in Jesus ....

Doubting divine revelations ....

B.D. 8251 from August 25th 1962, taken from Book No. 87

Time and again people will doubt My divine revelations because they do not have enough living faith, otherwise they could easily understand My actions during the final time before the end. Living faith demands a life of love, which most people disregard because they only want to love themselves, and in this misguided love they cannot find Me, they cannot recognise Me as their God and Creator, Who also wants to be their Father. Their faith is a mere formality, an acquired knowledge of faith, which could not yet become alive in them and therefore they cannot understand the 'outpouring of My spirit' either, which I have promised to all of those who 'believe in Me and keep My commandments ....' because it is to those whom I want to reveal Myself. And the more they adhere to this formal faith the more they reject My revelations which, however, I will continue to send to earth because I consider it necessary for people to be informed of the whole truth and not seek the purpose of life in distorted doctrines .... by believing what is far removed from the truth and not being able to recognise the plain, simple truth from Me any longer ....

In fact, it is far easier to introduce the pure truth to a completely sceptical person than to convince those who overzealously study the Book of Books, who attempt to explain every letter intellectually and who reject My simple communication as the work of demons. My adversary has already spread dense darkness, and even uses this book to confuse people's logical thought and to prevent the people from gaining a clear understanding. He is succeeding because their bond with Me is not deep enough for My strength of love to flow into a human heart which would enable it to receive the light and to distinguish truth from error.

However, human beings would be in dire trouble if I did not have compassion on them and try to strengthen them remarkably, if I did not, by way of direct communication with them, give them proof of Me and My presence and even speak to My children like a Father .... You humans are still seeking Me in the distance .... even if you believe in Me you cannot believe that the Father speaks to His children .... that He Himself bends down to persuade His children to submit themselves to Him trustingly, asking Him to guide them through their earthly lives. You forever think of Me as the strict God Who gives commandments, Who demands obedience and punishes those people who are disobedient .... You should know that I never 'punish' My living creations, but that they create every painful state for themselves, that they themselves also ventured towards the depth, that I do not condemn them but forever attempt to lead them back again, that I help them to ascend from the abyss and entice and call on them not to go astray or to fall prey to My adversary ....

And how better can I show My love for My living creations than by My direct communication, by revelations which explain Me and My Being and which, being divine truth, can only be experienced by the human soul as extremely effective and strengthens it for its earthly pilgrimage. Because I Am motivated by My love towards My living creations who live on earth as human beings in order to return to Me and who can only reach that goal when I Myself give them the strength to do so, when I nourish them with the bread from heaven and the water of life .... with My Word ....

And people refuse to understand this act of love and hence also decline My valuable gift of grace .... They are not alive and also remain faithful to the lifeless form of Christianity, because they lack the strength of faith for as long as they lack love, which would provide them with the right concept of Me, of My Being, which is love, wisdom and power .... And love will give itself time and again, and it will give to those who are weak but of good will everything they need to successfully complete their pilgrimage on earth .... Time and again My love will show itself because it also wants to be loved by those who originated from My love and who have to unite with Me again forever ....

Amen

Time concept of earth's evolution ....

B.D. 8252 from August 26th 1962, taken from Book No. 87

The evolution of earth required an infinitely long time .... Even if you humans want to set up a concept of time for this you are unable to think that far back because it exceeds your intellectual capacity. Yet you should know that the apostasy of the beings I created took place during an equally long period of time but that the concept of 'time' is not applicable for this slow developmental stage of earth because this concept only exists for the self-aware being in its stage of imperfection, since the concept of time no longer exists for the perfect being. This is why people will only ever be able to estimate the individual stages of the creation work 'earth' but never even come close to the truth .... unless they apply the concept of 'eternities' .... For the apostasy from Me has taken eternities, and the same period of time will be needed to return the spirits which had deserted Me.

And if you humans now considered that you are close to joining Me again completely .... if you considered that these eternities are already behind you and that you can soon finish your ascending process of development and succeed in completely liberating yourselves from the form .... if you considered that your apostasy from Me happened eternities ago and that you can now lessen this immense original sin and become completely released from it with the help of Jesus Christ .... then you would truly only be moved by the one thought of sincerely giving yourselves to the divine Redeemer Jesus Christ and appeal to Him to grant you the strength to establish your final unification with your God and Father, Whom you can now recognise in Jesus Christ and for this reason entrust yourselves to Him in love and humility in order to cancel your past sin of arrogance and heartlessness ....

Your thinking will only ever move within limitations, and thus you cannot understand that an endless time has passed in which you were constrained by My will, which had removed you from My adversary's control so as to enable your higher development .... And you cannot be granted the retrospect of this endlessly long path .... because it would no longer be possible for you to continue your path across earth in free will, since you would be driven by fear to live according to My will, and then you would never be able to become perfect .... as this requires free will. However, if you know about your soul's process before its incarnation as a human being, your sense of responsibility will be stronger and then the results of people's research will also be of value, who think they can prove that the evolution of earth and its inhabitants took thousands of years and which should make you wonder how long you have been on earth already .... albeit not as self-aware beings ....

Yet then you will also know that the whole of creation shelters spiritual beings on their upward process of development in order to once again become what they had been in the beginning: free, self-aware beings, able to be active in strength and light as they were intended to be when I created them through the strength of My love .... It can only ever be believed since evidence of it cannot be given .... but even faith can become a conviction if the human being in his last stage on earth tries to bring his nature into line with that of his God and Father, if he changes himself to love and thereby unites himself with Me .... For as soon as I can be present to him because I Am love Itself he will also be able to believe with certainty and know that he only lives on earth in order complete his task after his infinitely long path. And he will wholeheartedly strive towards Me and thus find unification with Me, his Father of eternity, and be inconceivably happy ....

Amen

The adversary clothed in light .... Paradise on the new earth ....

B.D. 8253 from August 27th 1962, taken from Book No. 87

It should not surprise you that My adversary will leave no stone unturned in the last days in order to increase his power, in order to stop his followers from leaving him and turning to Me, for it is written that he, too, will perform great miracles and also strive to tempt My Own into leaving Me and to regain them for himself .... And he will not shy away from disguising himself as an angel of light either and even use the Words of the Scriptures .... But he will be unable to deceive anyone who genuinely desires the truth, even if he appears in My name. However, as soon he has to confess Me in Jesus Christ and My act of Salvation he will evade the issue and drop his mask. For he will not acknowledge this act of Salvation and his effort is, and will remain, to dissuade people's belief in this act of Salvation as well. He will have great power in the end and certainly use it. Consequently, where the darkness of spirit prevails he will not be recognised, but wherever My light is able to spread its bright radiance his lies will be revealed and this is why My Own need not fear him .... for they can clearly see through his game of deceit and will resist him. Hell has cast out all its inhabitant and sent them to earth, and these demons will yet exert a strong influence on people, but I cannot and will not stop My adversary since this time is, after all, his last opportunity, after which he will be bound again for a long time and no longer be able to influence the spirits which then will live on earth again either in a bound or in a free state .... in the creations of the new earth or in the human being ....

Hence there will be a time of peace which enables all spirits to progress faster, for the bound spiritual substances will be offered many opportunities to be of service, and at first people will not need spiritual opposition, which is permitted for the sake of testing their will, since they will have passed their test of will on the old earth and will progressively ascend because they will always be united with Me and the spirits of light, who can dwell amongst people as teachers and guides. This is why Satan will rage even more furiously beforehand, for he is in spiritual darkness himself and doesn't know that his activity will be to no avail, for the people he gains for himself will be banished anew, thus they will be removed from his power for a long time again .... And the others have given Me the evidence of their will, their love for Me and their strong faith and thus I can also reward them with a life in the paradise of the new earth, because they shall populate this earth again as the root of the new human race .... One day the lawful order will have to be established again on the new earth, and the time will have come when an improvement of humankind can no longer be expected .... But in these last days the spirits will still have to be separated and I will truly do whatever it takes in order to save what has not yet entirely fallen prey to the adversary, and it only requires good will to realise whether I Myself or My adversary are at work when unusual things happen which betray a strength that exceeds the natural ability of a human being ....

If you only want the truth, if you want to acknowledge Me, then you will indeed be protected from all kinds of deception .... If, however, you are still earthly minded you will also be impressed by the one who is the lord of this world and who expresses his power in an earthly way. And then he will have won you over but only to lose you once more, for all spiritual beings will be taken away from him again when the end comes. For truly, I Am Lord over heaven and earth, I Am in charge of the kingdom of light and the kingdom of darkness, and I know when My adversary exceeds his authority .... Therefore I will put an end to him as it is proclaimed in Word and Scripture, for then the time will have come when everything will have to be judged in accordance with My eternal order ....

Amen

Understanding the working of the spirit ....

B.D. 8254 from August 27th 1962, taken from Book No. 87

The knowledge which is imparted to you through an instrument of My choice comes forth from Me, the Eternal Truth, and therefore also has to be true .... With good will you can certainly recognise it as a direct revelation from Me, because the transmission process of spiritual knowledge on this scale demonstrates an extraordinary ability, an ability which no human being can ever acquire himself but shows the working of a Power Which has this knowledge at its disposal and can also transmit it to people .... It is God's spirit which is speaking to people, that is, the spirit within the person, being in constant contact with the Father-Spirit, which is educating the person from within .... It is not an instruction from person to person but a revelation on My part which I promised people when I Myself lived on earth. No human being can claim that he is able to intellectually penetrate the truth, and this is why spiritual information that has originated from Me is often doubted, for as long as the human being is still spiritually unenlightened he cannot understand such 'working of the spirit' which gives evidence of Me Myself, that I reveal Myself to people in order to bring them the pure truth. Only the Eternal Truth Itself can be the Provider of truth, and then it is only up to you humans to scrutinise the spiritual knowledge as to whether it is the truth from God ....

Spiritual knowledge can never be proven .... but if a person is taught from within he will need no external resources, he will need no instructions from other people, and by way of inner education he will also receive illumination .... he will recognise that the imparted knowledge is the truth, because I also bestow upon the instrument, which is used by Me to convey the truth to earth, power of judgment and full understanding for everything which extends into the spiritual realm, which cannot be explained or proven in an earthly way .... which therefore has to be believed and also can be believed because it emanates wisdom and grants clear realisation and extensive knowledge to someone who accepts these revelations. When people exchange their points of view they are not protected from error, for when human intellect gets active error can occur through the adversary's influence, and full conviction of the truth will be lacking in people .... But I want people to live in truth, because only truth can make them happy. And the transmission of truth can only take place through an obedient earthly child which willingly serves Me as a vessel into which My spirit can flow. And then you humans can also be confident that the Eternal Truth Itself is speaking to you, that it is imparting substantial knowledge to you which you will never be able to receive in any other way but through the working of My spirit. The fact that it is doubted time and again that I reveal Myself to you is proof that people still keep themselves very distant from Me, that they themselves have no connection with Me as yet and are therefore of darkened spirit, in which My adversary wants to keep them in order to prevent them from recognising Me and taking their path to Me.

Nevertheless, I know how urgently people need the truth, I know that they are taking the wrong path as long as they are not taught by Me Myself, Who instructs them truthfully and explains the purpose and goal of their earthly life to them .... And since I yearn for their return to Me I show them the path which leads to Me: I convey truthful knowledge to them which will guide them out of the darkness of night into the light of day .... The truth can only come forth from God and that is why you humans have to ask Me for it, for you have to activate your free will and desire the truth, since then the human being will also desire Me Myself .... And I will not deny Myself to any person, I will not withhold the truth from anyone who seriously requests it .... But the fact that earth is shrouded in profound darkness, that people walk along without light, simply demonstrates that they are totally indifferent to the truth, that they don't want to escape the darkness, otherwise they would truly find another path which I illuminate for them Myself and which leads to the right goal. As soon as they want to know the truth they will also realise when I reveal Myself and subsequently also know that I convey nothing but purest truth to you humans, if only you are of good will ....

Amen

Effect of the love illumination ....

B.D. 8255 from August 28th 1962, taken from Book No. 87

Anyone who is still in the night of the spirit will also not accept My ray of love which wants to guide a light to him. For My adversary still controls him and prevents him from working with love, otherwise the human being would kindle a light within himself and then also willingly open himself to Me and want to be illuminated by Me. Time and again such a person will be placed in situations where he can be of service to his neighbour, and time and again his heart will be appealed to so that it will show itself charitable, that he will let his heart speak to his neighbour and bring him help when he is in need .... Such opportunities will be created for all people, for this is the most important thing in their earthly life, that they ignite love within themselves, that they perform works of love in unselfishness, because then they unite with Me, Who am love Myself .... And once they have established this bond with Me this is like the opening of their hearts into which My ray of love can now penetrate, which impels increased activity of love and also constantly increases the degree of light and now the spiritual darkness will give way and make way for inner enlightenment .... And then the soul will be saved, for where My illumination of love was once able to take effect constant ascent is also assured, for love is strength which never remains inactive as long as it is not opposed. The soul which feels touched by My love will no longer turn away from Me, it will strive towards Me because it always recognizes Me more, because inner enlightenment also gives it knowledge of My nature and it now also begins to love Me and no longer wants to let go of Me. Then I will have won it for eternity, and its earthly life will only give it the opportunity to increase its degree of love so that its soul will always become more permeable to light and it will be able to enter bright light after its earthly demise .... It is only important that it finds its way out of the spiritual darkness, and now you can also explain the many strokes of fate which affect people, for the fellow human being should always be stimulated into loving activity as a result, he should turn to his long-suffering fellow human beings full of love and try to help them, be it in physical or spiritual hardship .... And anyone whose heart is not completely hardened will also be touched, and then salvation is also certain for him, he will step out of the darkness of night into the light of day as soon as only a spark of light falls into his heart and ignites a light .... But if the human being remains hard and unfeeling he is still completely dominated by My adversary who is devoid of all love and who always wants to prevent the human being from changing his selfish love into unselfish neighbourly love. And this is the battle which is waged time and again by the light and the darkness .... and which only the human being can bring to an end. He can already live in brightest light during his earthly life, just as he can also remain spiritually darkened until the end of his life and then enter the kingdom of the beyond in complete darkness, where the gates into the kingdom of light are closed to him. For a person who is completely without love will not find the divine redeemer Jesus Christ either, and he will not be released from his original sin on this earth, and it will be unspeakably difficult for him to still find the divine redeemer in the kingdom of the beyond and to appeal to Him for mercy .... although this is not impossible if he gives up his resistance as a result of loving intercession which follows him on the part of people on earth. But for the most part such people will not have acquired works of love on earth which will follow them into eternity and which result in loving intercession .... And there is a great danger that they will sink into the abyss again and still offer resistance there when they receive merciful help from the beings of light ..... Then a new banishment is the inevitable consequence, so that one day they will be able to emerge from the night into the light again, even if it takes an infinitely long time ....

Truthful knowledge of redemptive work ....

B.D. 8256 from August 29th 1962, taken from Book No. 87

As soon as Jesus Christ's act of salvation is explained to you correctly, i.e. truthfully, you will no longer persist in your will of rejection which all those people oppose the knowledge they are given about it by human beings. First people have to know why Jesus' act of salvation was necessary, what motivated Jesus, the human being, to walk a path of suffering on earth which required supernatural strength. They need to know what Jesus wanted to redeem people from .... For the human being is not aware of such great guilt, although his way of life on earth cannot always be called good. But he will only regard the events surrounding Jesus, as they are described to him, as a legend, he lacks understanding precisely because he does not know about the spiritual motives. He knows nothing of his great original sin, and even those who teach him mostly know nothing of it and therefore cannot make their teachings credible to people. Although all people will know that 'sin' was the cause of Jesus' act of salvation, they will not be able to understand that a human being had to suffer so horribly for his fellow human beings, who therefore would have to pay off their guilt themselves if they had become guilty on earth .... But that it was an original sin, an offence so serious that people would never have been able to pay it off themselves .... that it concerns the created beings' past apostasy from God and that this guilt was so great because it was committed in a state of brightest realization and was a direct rebellion against God is something people don't know, and therefore they don't want to acknowledge Jesus' act of salvation either. However, it can be easy for them if they are informed in absolute truth about the cause of the act of salvation and the mission which the man Jesus fulfilled with it .... if they are instructed about the process of the original spirits' apostasy from God and that people themselves are those fallen original spirits who are on the path of return to God but nevertheless cannot reach the goal without Jesus Christ .... and that Jesus therefore has to be acknowledged as the son of God and redeemer of the world .... They must know that God Himself accomplished the work of redemption in the man Jesus and how this incarnation of God is to be understood ..... They are still in spiritual darkness and therefore cannot believe vividly, and the redemption through Jesus Christ is therefore not credible to them because they do not recognize its meaning and purpose, for only the pure truth gives them light about it, and in this pure truth they have not yet been instructed .... For even if people acknowledge Jesus Christ with their mouths and do not openly contradict when the redemption through Jesus is spoken of, this is nevertheless not living faith but only learned knowledge which they dare not contradict .... Yet they will profess Him with inner joy and also acknowledge God Himself in Him when the pure truth is presented to them, which presupposes an introduction into God's plan of salvation, the imparting of knowledge which can only be given to people by God Himself through His spirit. For only He knows everything, only He is aware of the spiritual processes which took place in His kingdom. Only He knows what underlay both the apostasy from Him as well as Jesus' act of salvation, and only He can introduce people to the truth, and He also does it, as He Himself promised when He walked the earth in Jesus. And truthful knowledge will also give people a bright light. And they will now voluntarily and consciously take their path to the cross, whereas previously they refused because they lacked full understanding .... The human being only needs to want to stand in truth, then it will also come to him, for God does not want darkness to dominate the human being, and therefore He will always kindle a bright light when such is desired. Only pure truth will ever emanate from God, and therefore His word must be listened to, and it will be easy for the person to believe who is of good will ....

Transformation to Love ....

B.D. 8257 from August 29th 1962, taken from Book No. 87

The return home to the father is the goal which you should and can achieve during your earthly life if only you have the will to do so. For then you will be provided with the necessary strength and you will also use this strength in the right way. For the world of light constantly endeavours to mentally instruct you humans and to encourage you to fulfil the most important commandment .... the commandment of love for God and neighbour .... And if you now follow the suggestions which you feel as an inner voice, as the voice of conscience, then you will lead a life of love and your being, which at the beginning of its embodiment as a human being only knew self-love, will change again into the original being which was love itself because it emerged from eternal love. At the beginning of his earthly existence the human being will still strongly emphasize selfish love, he will only ever desire what serves the body and creates comfort for him, and he will have little compassion for his fellow human being because he is still dominated by perverse love as an inherited evil and the right love .... the gratifying, willing, giving love first has to be kindled in him. Yet his earthly life will be guided by his spiritual guardians such that he will be able to recognize much hardship among his fellow human beings, and thus his heart will be touched which should now express its will to help .... And selfish love will change into unselfish neighbourly love .... yet only when he does not resist the inner urge of the beings of light, when he allows himself to be influenced by them, which always requires good will, a will which is turned towards God. Hence love must be kindled in the human being and constantly increase so that the human being will also soon recognize his actual earthly task and endeavour to fulfil it. For love is also the light which illuminates him from within and shows him the right path, the path to God. And he will then also reach the goal and unite with God, because God Himself is love and therefore He can only be found through love. The world of light is constantly active in love, and its love always turns towards beings which lack love and therefore are in spiritual darkness. They want to bring redemption to these beings, and this includes that they recognize why they are on earth .... that they know about their original state, about their present deficient nature and about their goal .... their perfection .... which they can also achieve if they accept the help of those beings of light and allow themselves to be guided in earthly life. And therefore they will always be brought together with people who are in spiritual or earthly adversity, so that the will to help will be awakened in them, so that love will be awakened which shall now spread and encompass everything and, as an ever brighter flame, illuminate the human being and give him knowledge which chases away the spiritual darkness .... so that the human being will now also recognize God correctly and learn to love Him .... For the right love for God can only arise from neighbourly love, or love for God can only be proven through love for the neighbour, and it is rewarded by God with His constant presence, because God Himself is in every human being who performs works of love, and this bond must now lead to the goal, to complete union with God .... Every person is capable of love because a spark of love was placed in his heart by God which only needs to be kindled in order to develop into a bright flame .... But whether the human being is willing to love is his own business. He cannot be forced into loving activity because he has free will, the direction of which he should prove during his earthly life. But blessed is the human being who ignites the divine spark of love within himself and gives in to the inner urge to constantly work with love, for he will never be powerless, he will cover the path of ascent development and the flame of love will shine ever brighter in him, for he will no longer resist the divine illumination of love, and he will change his nature, which was pure love in the beginning, and now he will also return to his origin, to the father, Who Himself is love from eternity ....

The reason for the earth` s restoration ....

B.D. 8258 from August 30th 1962, taken from Book No. 87

The earth must be renewed because it no longer serves its purpose as a place of development for the spirits .... All order has been revoked, people pay no more attention to My will, they live contrary to law, for love is the essence of divine Order and this has grown cold among people, hence their earthly path is in vain since it does not ascend but irrevocably leads into the abyss. The human being ought to be of loving service but he strives to dominate, and even many of the bound spiritual substances are prevented from being helpful because people hoard material things and deny them all useful purpose .... People are in a state of complete spiritual darkness, for without love there cannot be light and thus people remain spiritually blind and don't recognise their God and Creator .... Consequently this state has to be brought to an end, everything must be restored to its rightful order again .... the people who fail have to be separated from those who belong to Me, who strive to live an orderly life and who will therefore be treated with hostility by the former .... The lowest point has truly been reached which necessitates a renewal of earth, when all bound spiritual substances will be released and placed into new forms again, when everything will be placed into the most diverse kinds of new creations according to their degree of maturity. And then the human being, who had become totally enslaved by material things, will become matter again himself .... he will be banished into the creations of the new earth.

This is the most horrific fate you humans can imagine, the fact that your 'Self' will be dissolved into countless tiny particles once more and has to travel the path through the creations of the new earth in order to reach the stage of a human being again one day, even though it will take an infinitely long time all over again .... You humans cannot imagine such a work of transformation, after all, it means the end of this old earth, even if the planet as such remains My might and wisdom will nevertheless subject it to a complete transformation and thereby make it suitable again to serve its purpose of helping the spiritual substances gain full maturity. You should accept the knowledge you receive about this process and its reasons and think about it seriously. You should know that this work of destruction will particularly affect you humans very painfully since it will be your loss if your way of life does not correspond to My eternal order. You should also know that I will keep to the day which will bring an end to this earth, for My plan was determined by My love and wisdom and is set for eternity .... And so one period of Salvation comes to an end and a new one begins, where order has been restored and where tranquillity and peace prevails, where it is impossible for My adversary to be active because he will be banished for a very long time ....

Don't think that you are being wrongly instructed if I repeatedly send you the information about this impending act of disintegration of all creations on, in and above the earth .... Believe Me that everything is possible for Me and that I also know when such destructive action is necessary in order to guarantee the development of the ascending spiritual substances. Yet those of you humans who lack all love won't accept My Word, hence you will be harshly affected when the last day comes .... But there is no other option because My love applies to all still unredeemed and enslaved spirits .... And even for you, who fail in your free state as a human being, I will create new possibilities to reach the goal one day; yet the fact that you infinitely prolong the time of your distance from Me again is your own free will, thus your own fault, which you have to pay for with a renewed banishment into the creations .... For I truly don't want your unhappiness and will help you until the very last hour of this act of banishment passes you by, so that you will still find Me and call upon Me for mercy before the end ....

Amen

God's mission: to spread truth ....

B.D. 8259 from August 30th 1962, taken from Book No. 87

I want you to represent My word as truth, for if you believe that your God and father of eternity addresses you then you must also be convinced of its truth, and then you have the right and the duty to stand up for this truth you have recognized, for then you are merely the mouthpiece through which I express Myself, and I Myself cannot convey anything but pure truth to you. Then you need not fear that My adversary will intervene and likewise use you as a mouthpiece, for I will truly know how to prevent this if it is My will and My task to spread the truth amongst people. And I can only tell you time and again that I know people's hearts and that I choose the right instrument for Myself which fulfils the prerequisites under which the working of My spirit is possible .... It is a mistaken view that My adversary's influence must always be feared where divine revelations are conveyed to earth .... For revelations of this kind, where people are to be „introduced to truth..."as I Myself promised at the time of My life on earth, have a very special purpose: to bring light into the darkness which My adversary has spread across the earth .... And because I want to bring light to people, because I want to impart to them the knowledge which My adversary took away from them when he plunged them into the abyss, I will now truly also keep My adversary away and not allow him to intrude and cloud or extinguish the light again .... For it concerns the salvation of souls which are enveloped by darkness and cannot find their way out without My help. You can therefore justifiably reject such objections that you, who serve Me, are also exposed to My adversary's activity, that errors can also creep in .... you can justifiably represent My revelations as divine truth and inform all people of what I send to you through the inner word. For this is the purpose of My revelations, that humanity is brought light, that it receives enlightenment about the many misguided teachings and that it is guided into right thinking and leads its earthly life accordingly in order to reach the goal which is only recognized and striven for through truth. I initiated you into profound, extensive knowledge, and I was able to do so because the instrument chosen by Me did not resist accepting My word as I presented it, and because it did not oppose it with its own will but allowed itself to be taught by Me, Who is the eternal truth .... And thus it was also possible to impart knowledge to people which was still alien to them but which contributed again to dispel the darkness and to present Me Myself to people as I am, and therefore it is also possible for people to show love to Me which is overwhelmingly reciprocated by Me. But such success will never be achieved where My adversary is active, and therefore I will not allow his activity either because I want to win My living creations' love. It is an unusual grace that I reveal Myself so clearly before the end of the earth, that I speak to people in such a way that they can also recognize Me as the giver of what they receive .... And you should never believe that I let such a revelation be endangered, that I don't protect an instrument from My adversary which fully trusts Me and only wants to serve Me .... For I know every person's will, and thus I also know the degree of maturity of it, and accordingly I also know how to guide and direct everything in order to be able to direct a mighty revelation to earth which only aims at the salvation and rescue of human souls, so that they will not go astray because they walk in darkness, because My adversary withholds the truth from them .... And you can be certain that My promises will be fulfilled, and thus you can rightfully feel yourselves to be bearers of truth and carry it out into the world .... And My blessing will accompany your vineyard work, you will always speak as it is My will, for I Myself direct your thoughts and you will only ever be active for Me ....

Amen

God's mission: spreading truth .... (Continuation to No. 8259)

B.D. 8260 from August 31th 1962, taken from Book No. 87

You should not be afraid to come forward with the truth, for you only speak on My behalf when you try to enlighten people .... I Myself cannot address people directly because not all of them have the prerequisites which allow for a direct address through the inner word. Nor can I speak to them audibly from above, for this would then also be a compulsion of faith, it would then be one hundred percent proof of the existence of a power Which now expresses Itself audibly. I can only ever use an earthly child who wants to serve Me, who makes himself available to Me as a mediator, who accepts My direct word and passes it on to his fellow human beings. And therefore you only speak on My behalf when you spread My word and inform your fellow human beings of My working in and on you .... But I only convey My word to you because people shall be instructed in the truth, because I deem it extremely necessary that they experience the truth .... And thus I also need you to carry out what I Myself cannot carry out due to people's freedom of will .... Be certain that you do nothing wrong when you pass on the knowledge which you receive directly from Me, and don't let yourselves be disturbed when you receive unusual knowledge, when teachings are presented to you which were unknown to you, for I only ever correct where you humans still advocate erroneous spiritual knowledge and don't want to let go of it .... Much spiritual knowledge has been conveyed to you and people have always accepted it without having tested its outcome .... But I was always opposed when I wanted to correct wrong teachings, for their previous knowledge made them certain to walk in truth, and due to this they were also unable to accept the pure truth .... They were not empty vessels who willingly gave away the knowledge they possessed in order to receive it from Me .... This is why false doctrines were able to survive for a long time without being recognized as false doctrines .... But as soon as I now oppose it with pure truth, as soon as I can pour My spirit into an empty vessel which gives itself to Me of its own free will, it is now also My will that the pure truth from Me is openly advocated, that the recipient now lets Me Myself speak to his fellow human beings by willingly passing on the spiritual knowledge in the firm belief that what he has received is pure truth .... Only then will it be possible to correct existing misguided teachings, to eradicate everything that is wrong and to enlighten people truthfully. And now I will also support My servants, I Myself will supply them with people who desire the truth and also recognize the truth of My word if you offer it to them on My behalf. I would never give you this mission to spread the spiritual knowledge if your own erroneous thoughts were added to My word from above and degraded the value of it .... But I protect My vessel from bad influence, and only My flow of love will flow into it and guarantee you purest truth. And you shall now also represent this as My gift of grace, through which much light shall still be radiated into the hearts of people who desire light in the last time before the end .... And you need not fear to act against My will, for I place the will into your heart and then you will only do what is My will .... You will feel what is right, for I Myself guide your thoughts, and thus I will also bless you who let yourselves be guided by Me, who are active as mediators .... What I want but cannot obviously accomplish has to be carried out by people as long as people are still far away from Me .... But they shall nevertheless experience the truth which can only come forth from Me Myself, but which alone is the right light which creates clarity .... And therefore only ever wait for My instructions which, however, you will also recognize as My will and you will comply with them because you are willing to serve Me in the last days before the end ....

Amen

Bridging the gap from people to God ....

B.D. 8261 from September 1st 1962, taken from Book No. 87

You enter the bridge to the spiritual kingdom with every thought that applies to Me ..... Then your soul takes the path to Me of its own free will, and I seize it and give it strength to continue the path. And anyone who once occupies himself with Me in thought will also return to this path time and again, although the world still surrounds him but he does not pay so much attention to it that it poses a danger to him. But you have to take the first step onto this bridge of your own accord, you have to try to fathom the purpose and meaning of your earthly existence and then pay attention to the thoughts which now come to you on the part of the beings of light to whom you have been entrusted that they guide and lead you. And these thoughts will always be indications of a God and creator with Whom you are in contact because you are His share and He wants you to establish a conscious bond with Him .... According to your will you will now receive such thoughts and move them within you .... Thus you will be mentally instructed by those beings of light that you must acknowledge a God and creator from Whom you originated .... As soon as you inwardly unite with your God and creator, that you speak to Him yourselves and ask Him to take care of you, I can also answer you directly, even though this only happens mentally, but you can likewise be instructed and receive My strength, for the conscious bond with Me is an opening of the heart into which I can now let light and strength shine .... For this is the purpose of your earthly life, that you learn to recognize and love Me, Whom you once refused to acknowledge and rejected My love .... There was a wide gulf between you and Me which, however, was bridged by Jesus Christ and His work of redemption .... He has now built a bridge which can be entered by anyone who follows Him, who professes Him and who then also professes Me, Who accomplished the act of salvation for you in the man Jesus. Thus the bridge was built, it exists .... but has to be entered voluntarily by every human being .... Yet anyone who enters it can also be certain that My love will take hold of him and that he will therefore overcome the gulf, that he will reach the goal, that he will find Me Myself and no longer depart from Me .... Then he will also have expressed his will to return to Me, from Whom he once separated in wrong will and wrong thinking. And thus everyone is blessed who does not reject Me when I intervene in his thoughts, when he continues to pursue these thoughts and can now also be instructed by Me Myself or by My messengers of light who are active in My will and emanate the light which is sent to them from Me. For there is a spark in every human being which I have given to him and which constantly pushes towards Me, towards the eternal fire, Which emitted sparks in the human being's heart .... And through this spiritual spark the human being is inseparably united with Me, yet only when he is aware of it will this spark spread light within him so that he gains the realization of what purpose and goal his earthly existence is .... And then he will no longer allow himself to be prevented from taking the path to Me, he will appeal to the divine redeemer Jesus Christ for strengthening of his will, and he will also avail himself of the blessings of the act of salvation .... He will carry his guilt in full trust to Him under the cross and he will be released from it .... The way back to Me and the attainment of the goal is assured to him, he returns to his true home and unites with Me again for eternity ....

Amen

The right intercourse with the spiritual world ....

B.D. 8262 from September 2nd 1962, taken from Book No. 87

I will approve of everything that contributes towards light becoming a reality amongst people .... Everything that is suitable to reach the truth will meet My approval, and you should only ever know that the truth can only be found when the connection with Me is established, for then I Myself am also entitled to intervene, which is to be taken into account due to your free will. All beings which stand in the light, thus inhabit My kingdom of light, are also filled with love, and consequently they also stand in the truth themselves and can distribute it, because they only work in My will but the transmission of the light .... of truth from Me .... is the epitome of their beatitude. And thus those beings of light will also make use of every opportunity where hearts open in the desire for truth, which they can now fill with the knowledge they receive from Me through the constant transmission of love .... Contact can therefore be established from the spiritual kingdom to earth when people consciously connect with the spirit world. But there are also beings in the spiritual kingdom who are not yet perfect and therefore still of dark spirit .... Yet these beings also try to make themselves known and influence people's thoughts but in a negative way .... They have no truth themselves but want to communicate and transfer their thoughts to people. And now the human being's degree of maturity is decisive as to which beings he grants access to and accepts their thoughts .... As much blessing as intercourse with enlightened spiritual beings can bring, so much harm can be caused by immature souls, because people themselves are not capable of judgement when their degree of maturity is still low and therefore they don't know whether the truth is conveyed to them from the spiritual kingdom .... This concerns people's attempts to establish a connection with the world of the beyond who certainly want to know about this world but whose desire for truth is not yet so strong that I Myself can protect them from erroneous thoughts and erroneous results on the part of the spiritual world .... And therefore it is a great danger to establish such connections, against which you are warned again and again ..... However, if the desire for truth is the driving force for contact with the world of the beyond, then you humans can also be certain that the world of light will also fulfil your desire, because it is also My will that you should be instructed in truth and because these beings of light will only ever carry out My will and only convey purest truth to you. You yourselves cannot judge by your own strength which spiritual forces are approaching you, yet the desire for truth truly protects you from unspiritual influence. And you can believe this assurance on My part .... You only have to be critical of yourselves as to whether you are dominated by the desire for truth or whether you only want to acquire knowledge about the conditions in the spiritual kingdom, whether you only want to establish contact with the deceased of whom you will never know the degree of maturity of their souls which have departed from this earth. I will bless all endeavours which let you gain possession of truth .... And likewise the messengers of light will protect you from the immature spiritual beings which push them away as soon as they only recognize your serious will which only seeks the truth .... And then you will not have to fear any misguidance either, for your prayer to Me for the supply of truth will protect you from it. I truly cannot take pleasure in the fact that you humans are spiritually blind and have no desire to become sighted .... but neither can I give you an inner light against your will, because you once rejected this light and voluntarily headed towards darkness .... But if I recognize that you yourselves suffer from your blindness, that you long for a light, then I am also immediately willing to let a light shine into your hearts, because then I also know that you recognize Me Myself in the light and learn to love Me. I always and constantly court your love, for My love has always followed you even though you turned away from Me .... it has pursued you into the abyss and done everything to cause your return to Me, which then also brings you the bright light again around your original beginning and your final goal. My love has not withdrawn from you because you emerged from My eternal love and I give up nothing that belongs to Me. And therefore I also want you to change your nature into love again in order to then be able to unite Me with you and to be and remain united with you for all eternity .... And if you yourselves become love again then you will also walk in the light, you will stand in knowledge again, as in the beginning, and all darkness will have fallen away from you, and you will be immeasurably blissful in the kingdom of light ....

Amen

"God sent His son to earth .... "

B.D. 8263 from September 3rd 1962, taken from Book No. 87

I sent My son to earth .... A Being Which emerged from My eternal primal love, Which turned Its whole love towards Me when a great host of My originally created spirits fell away from Me, Which recognized Me as Its father of eternity although It could not see Me, wanted to prove Its greater than great love to Me by wanting to bring the apostate children back to Me through a work of a unique kind .... And because His love moved Him to do so, I allowed it, I gave My consent for this being to descend to earth, for It to go from the kingdom of light, where It was immeasurably blissful, into a dark region .... into the kingdom of My counter-spirit Lucifer, who was the first of the fallen beings to become My antipole. I sent My son to earth Who offered to serve Me Myself on earth as a cover because I wanted to bring help to all fallen beings in their great spiritual adversity. For their way back to Me had been cut off, they would have had to remain eternally at a great distance from Me in a state of endless torment and wretchedness .... But they were all My creatures which had come into being out of My love and might through the will of the first-created being .... Lucifer .... who originally found the greatest bliss in creating creatures using My strength .... That this original spirit, which I had put forth as My image, fell, I could well have prevented, but I did not .... for in My love and wisdom I foresaw a process of complete deification of the fallen beings with the ultimate goal of childship to God, which, however, had to be achieved by free will .... However, the will of the fallen beings was so weakened by the influence of My counter-spirit Lucifer that the beings were incapable of once again reaching up from the deepest depths if I had not given them help, which was now also given to them on My part by the being in a state of compulsion .... thus according to My will .... through the material creation .... But even then the beings were still completely powerless because they once rejected My strength of love and could only gain this strength for ascent through love .... However, they had become incapable of love .... In My overwhelming mercy I probably put in a spark of love in their last stage on the path of return to Me .... Nevertheless, the immense burden of original sin, of rebellion against Me as their God and father in the state of brightest knowledge, remained on each of the fallen original spirits, for it had to be redeemed according to the law of divine justice, atonement had to be made which these fallen beings could never make themselves .... And therefore an original spirit remaining with Me offered to accomplish this work of atonement on earth because His love for Me and for the fallen brothers was so immense that He was willing to take upon Himself everything that this work of atonement required in terms of pain and suffering .... For He wanted to walk the earth as a 'human being', He wanted to embody Himself in Jesus' human shell and walk a path of suffering which required utmost love and which also made the manifestation of the Eternal Deity Himself in Him possible .... For I could only be where love is .... I could only unite Myself with love and therefore choose a vessel for My dwelling which had completely shaped itself into love .... Jesus' soul indeed brought love for Me with it to earth, but the region it entered at His birth was Lucifer's kingdom, and the soul was oppressed by him, everything surrounding Him was Lucifer's share, and because He had taken on the task of carrying out a mission as a human being to save His fallen brothers, He was not allowed to use the strength of love which was at His disposal as 'My son' in order to defend Himself against the oppressor and to shake it off .... but He had to wrestle with His fellow human beings and redeem the oppressor through a life of love .... which was therefore not so easy to lead because the unspiritual tried to hinder Him and His human outer shell reacted in the same way to all temptations .... thus His soul had to fight against it until the love in Him broke through ever more strongly and He thereby also spiritualised His physical shell, thus His light of love shone ever brighter and He did what the adversary wanted to prevent Him from doing: .... that He endured superhuman suffering and death out of love, thus He opposed My enemy with love and defeated him through love.... that He satisfied My justice and paid the purchase price for the souls which the adversary could now no longer hold captive .... Love, then, accomplished this work of mercy, which completely filled Him, and this love was I Myself .... But 'My son' had to pass through this darkness, through Lucifer's kingdom, and therefore had to leave behind His light and strength, which He possessed as a non-fallen original spirit. He had to .... like every human being, start earthly life in the same weakness, for He was meant to show people the path which leads back to Me again .... the path of love and suffering, which truly the man Jesus preceded His fellow human beings and I was able to take abode in Him because His soul was not burdened by original sin and His love gave Him the strength to also spiritualise His human body, thus He passed through earthly life without any sin .... For sin is only that which violates love .... And since I place a spark of My divine love in every human heart, every human being is also capable of igniting love and fanning it into highest embers .... Thus nothing impossible is required of you humans, because only weakness of will can prevent you from working with love and you can always ask Jesus Christ to strengthen your will, because this is one of the blessings He acquired for you through His death on the cross. And you humans must make use of these blessings of the act of salvation so that His act of mercy will not have been offered to you in vain, so that you will recognize Me Myself in Jesus, Who took abode in His shell in order to redeem you from your guilt of sin ....

Amen

Concerning the question: Incarnation of Jesus ....

B.D. 8264 from September 5th 1962, taken from Book No. 87

My earthly mission was concluded by My death on the cross, by My ascension to heaven .... The complete deification of My soul, which had once come forth from the Father’s love as a created being, had occurred. This should be achieved by every original spirit some day in order to be able to work and create with the Father, completely perfected in His image .... Additionally, however, My original soul had the particular task to enable the Father .... the Eternal love Itself .... to manifest Himself on earth as a human being, i.e. the ‘Eternal love’ manifested Itself in My external cover of the man Jesus, and thus the Father became a visible God to all His formerly created beings who have achieved that particular degree of perfection which results in spiritual vision.

The human manifestation of God in Jesus is such a momentous problem that you will not be able to comprehend it while you are still on earth .... It was and is an act which is closely connected with the beings’ apostasy from their God and Creator .... But one thing is certain: My Jesus-soul is so closely united with the Father that He and I are one and that I cannot be considered to be separate from the Father any longer, and that I always Am and will be the visible God in all eternity .... I can indeed descend to earth again in My Divinity, thus I can appear as Jesus to any person who is most intimately connected with Me so that he can recognise Me as his Saviour and Redeemer, but only for a brief time in a visible state when certain events justify such appearances .... Because I have promised you My presence and can also prove this presence visibly .... And similarly will I appear at the end in the clouds, i.e. undeniably in My strength and glory but veiled, because even My Own cannot bear to see Me in the brightest light ....

But for My Jesus-soul to incarnate again or to have incarnated on this earth as a human being after My crucifixion is impossible, because it is completely merged with the Father’s Eternal spirit and because an incarnation of the Jesus-soul would be synonymous with an incarnation of God in a human being .... Every person should indeed form a union with God by means of love, and this is every human being’s last goal, but this is not an incarnation of My Jesus-soul, as you would understand it, in the sense that Jesus will live on earth again as human being. My Jesus-soul is and remains eternally unified with God and reigns and works in the spiritual kingdom, in the kingdom of light, visible to all beings of light from face to face. A conception in the flesh would therefore be a repeated human manifestation of God, for which there is no justification ....

Eminent and exalted beings of light will time and again descend to earth for the purpose of a mission, who want to achieve the last degree of their perfection by taking the test of volition on this earth .... And these persons can also be usually recognised by their remarkable deeds and a remarkably difficult earthly life. Hence you need to exercise great caution when you hear about an incarnation of Jesus, because although eminent and exalted beings of light incarnate on this earth they themselves will be without all knowledge of their origin, apart from the one who will announce My coming .... He will know who he is when the time has come to start his mission on earth. But you will often be deceived by My adversary’s actions if you assume this or that embodiment in a person .... even when he lives his life in total accordance with My will. Because the knowledge of his incarnated spirit does not help your perfection and can only ever lead to wrong conclusions. It cannot ever result in your spiritual advantage because you would still be subject to a certain amount of compulsory faith, whereas you should make your choice during your earthly life in complete freedom ....

Amen

Can God's existence be proven? ....

B.D. 8265 from September 6th 1962, taken from Book No. 87

My existence can never be proven to you humans, because then you would become subject to compulsory faith .... But you are supposed to arrive at the light and realisation about Me of your own free will during your earthly life, and this is certainly possible. You only need to think about it, for everything around you can provide you with the evidence of a God and Creator .... For even if you at first try to deny a divine Being you nevertheless have to acknowledge a Strength Which is expressing Itself throughout the whole of creation. Thus you cannot deny this strength, but the natural law, which likewise cannot be denied by you, the destined purpose of the works of creation around you .... are in turn evidence of a deliberately directed Strength Which infers a thinking Being ....

Hence your goal on earth is to establish contact with this thinking Being, otherwise it would be irrelevant as to whether you describe Me as the strength that is recognisable by you. Yet you are not likely to call upon a 'Strength' and try to establish contact with it .... As soon as you spend some serious thought on it with the determination to ascertain the truth, I will also reveal Myself to you as a spiritually tangible God and Creator .... If, however, you are indifferent to Whom you owe your life as a human being, then you will be lacking the sincere will and you will never attain inner clarity. Furthermore, your own nature as a human being should make you think .... No person is able to create a being with the ability to think, with self-awareness and free will .... Consequently, you must have emerged from a similar Being, only that It is, in contrast to you, supremely perfect, but this Being, too, has to possess self-awareness, the faculty of thought and a will, and this Being works with love, incomparable wisdom and power ....

You can never regard yourselves to be a product of coincidence, for if this strength were not directed by a will it would always have an elemental effect, thus be destructive but never progressive, yet this refutes the destined purpose and natural law of creation .... My existence cannot be proven to you, but creation is convincing evidence of an all-powerful Being for every thinking human being, even if this Being is inconceivable to him, if he is unable to form a real idea of it .... He is just still very distant from Me and thus spiritually completely unenlightened .... which is due to the fact that his fall into the abyss had deprived him of all light. And if such a person receives the knowledge about Me as the highest and most perfect Spirit in eternity his opposition to Me breaks through, and he wants to deny Me as he once had done when he rejected the light of My love and thus became spiritually unenlightened. But in earthly life he must try to escape the darkness, he must want to get clarification about himself and his origin, and he must be willing to do what is right, and thus also allow himself to be taught by those who are able to bring him light. But a completely dark spirit will also lack willpower, and he will reject all explanations because he always feels that the knowledge about a God and Creator will give him a guilty conscience, which he refuses to accept.

Trying to convince a fellow human being of the existence of a powerful God therefore only makes sense if he himself wants to know something about it, whereas a person who constantly likes to deny God remains incorrigible and no energy should be wasted on him, for his will is the decisive factor as to whether he ever finds his way out of the darkness. He must also come to realise the existence of a God and Creator without proof, which will happen if he endeavours to live a life of love, as in that case he is already making contact with Me and the desire for truth will subsequently arise in him too. And then his thinking will already be guided, he will be mentally influenced by beings of light into whose care he is entrusted, and his resistance will begin to wane .... which is also aided by the intercession of fellow human beings, and that will always have the effect of an increased strength of will ....

Amen

Apostasy of the beings .... Voluntary ascent ....

B.D. 8266 from September 7th 1962, taken from Book No. 87

When the beings came forth from Me they were in a brightly enlightened, completely free and inconceivably powerful state .... For I created them in My image, in all perfection, and that signified unlimited bliss .... They could have remained in this state forever .... Yet as a sign of their divinity they also possessed free will. And this free will changed their nature into the opposite .... they became imperfect, lost their light as well as their strength, and as a result they lost their freedom. They became enslaved because they had misused their freedom and opposed My will .... They left My eternal order. A violation of My order, however, had to have negative consequences and these beings became wretched .... Only light, strength and freedom is bliss, on the other hand, an enslaved being without light and strength experiences a state of torment, but which it had created itself through its wrong will .... But since all beings emerged through My strength of love I took pity upon their painful state, for I Am and remain a God of love, I Am a supremely perfect Being Which can only ever emanate love because love is My fundamental nature. But I Am also a Being Which creates and is active with boundless wisdom and might and to Whom it is therefore always possible to turn everything that is wrong into right again .... Nevertheless I must allow My created beings to keep their free will, and this will is the decisive factor as to whether the being accepts My help. However, since it had deprived itself of light and strength on account of its deliberate rejection it was no longer able to use its will. And thus it was placed into a state of compulsion by Me where My will alone was the decisive factor ....

This enabled the being to gradually ascend from profound darkness and the state of utter weakness and come closer to Me once more .... until it could finally leave the state of compulsion and receive its free will back in order to use it again, and this time for a correct attitude towards its God and Creator .... It must enter the law of eternal order again and change itself back into the original being it used to be in the beginning .... The moment it voluntarily subordinates its will to My divine will it also attains light and strength again because it upholds the principle of divine order, because it has shaped itself into love and its thoughts and will are only determined by love. Hence love guarantees the being light and strength and freedom .... The rejection of love, however, reversed its fundamental nature into the opposite .... So although the being I created is able to voluntarily change itself entirely into the opposite, it can nevertheless not cease to exist .... Therefore it cannot remain in a state of darkness and weakness forever, yet neither can it be forced into changing its nature, I can only help the being, which is no longer able to use its free will, such that a free decision will be possible for the being again. This is why I take care of what became wretched and let it go through countless many stages of development under the law of compulsion in order to wrest it from My adversary's control who is to blame for the wretchedness of the beings which came forth from Me in light and freedom .... Nevertheless, the complete change into the original being and therefore a return to Me can only take place through a decision of free will .... For each being must provide the evidence of its divinity, it must voluntarily have entered My will, it must desire light and strength and freedom and seriously strive towards Me again, from Whom it once distanced itself and thereby became the most miserable being .... Only in unity with Me can there be light, strength and freedom, consequently, unlimited bliss is only feasible when the being has changed itself into its fundamental nature again, when it has become again what it was in the beginning when it came forth from Me Myself in all perfection ....

Amen

Trust in God's guidance ....

B.D. 8267 from September 8th 1962, taken from Book No. 87

Entrust yourselves to Me with complete faith and know that I know all your thoughts .... but that I also arrange everything in such a way that it is a blessing for yourselves and your fellow human beings. Therefore you don't need to worry yourselves, for in My wisdom I recognize the effect of every happening .... But I also know how few people fully commit themselves to a spiritual task, and since I don't force anyone's will I wait patiently until a person offers himself to Me of his own accord, to whom I can then assign his task. But for the time being your task consists of giving your fellow human beings the opportunity to take notice of My word .... by letting Me speak to you and spreading this word of Mine .... It will ignite many a heart and also inspire them to work in the vineyard, however, it will always be a small-scale work until a greater action can be undertaken through the will of people who offer themselves to Me for service. You should only believe that you can trustingly place everything into your father's hands .... And time and again I strengthen this faith in you by addressing you in an unusual way, by responding to your thoughts and obviously sending you the answer .... Yet you are all still weak in faith and anxious about it, and you worry which is entirely unjustified .... because I know about everything and no thought remains hidden from Me. And it is your body which still has to bear the discomfort because it is necessary .... For all suffering shall help the soul to crystallise and become capable of ever stronger light absorption .... Yet I will also give strength to this body to persevere as long as I need your cooperation on earth. And time and again I tell you that a bright light is necessary in the darkness which covers the earth .... and that I Myself will ensure that this light is not extinguished because I know My children who desire light and whom I therefore will not let walk in darkness. Your mission is so important that you will truly be protected in every way, that this mission will not be interrupted as long as you want to carry it out yourselves .... Consider, however, how wrongly humanity thinks and walks completely in error .... Consider that there is a way out of this error: .... if the eternal truth itself teaches people .... And if you enable Me to give this direct instruction you can also be certain that you will not request My strength in vain, that it will flow through you in every contact with Me, even if you don't physically feel it .... But the soul receives what it needs and can therefore distribute it abundantly to its fellow human beings. There is only one thing you should not forget, that everything comes from Me, that I know everything and also send you what you need at the right hour .... be it earthly or spiritual needs, for you are in My service and as a faithful father of the house I take care of My servants .... But you are also My children who are fatherly cared for by Me in love .... For this is why I reveal Myself to you, so that you recognize Me in My nature and also give Me your love, because only love can unite us .... But love also trusts, and I will truly not disappoint you either ....

Amen

Revelations are God's help towards ascent ....

B.D. 8268 from September 9th 1962, taken from Book No. 87

My loving care has applied to you for eternity, for you have been distant from Me for eternity already and therefore unhappy. During your earthly life you are oblivious to the infinitely long time before your embodiment as a human being because it lies behind you and thus it has been surmounted .... And now you are taking the path across earth as a human being, unaware of the fate you are approaching .... unaware, until you voluntarily take the path to Me .... Only then will the danger have passed of descending again and having to cover this infinitely long path once more. And since all My love applies to you I constantly exert My influence in order to motivate you to hand yourselves over to the Power which brought you into being. For it only requires your free will during your earthly progress .... It can lead you back to supreme happiness but it can also result in your renewed downfall, for only your free will decides your fate in eternity ....

As long as this will was constrained, as long as your soul had to go through the creations of earth in a state of compulsion there was no risk of a descent, for My adversary had lost all authority over you and My love constantly pulled you higher .... But now .... as a human being .... you are free, and My adversary therefore also has the right to influence you again, and thus you voluntarily have to resist him, you voluntarily have to take the path to Me, and then you will have passed your final test of earthly life and can be liberated from every external shell. Since My love called you into being, and since this love has never diminished nor will it ever diminish, I will also always help you, I will fight for your will just like My adversary does .... And I shall let all happenings approach you such that your thoughts will be directed towards Me, for as soon as I achieve that you recognise Me as a Being of supreme perfection Which loves you and only wants your happiness I will also have won you over for Myself ....

Thus I also have to reveal Myself to you, I must try to achieve that you are informed of a Power Which gave you life, and I have to enlighten you about the nature of this Power .... I have to provide you with the information about this Being's reign and activity and your relationship with It. Since you are blessed with intelligence, with the faculty of thought, I also constantly stimulate you to think, and I enter your thoughts Myself .... I direct your earthly fate in such a way that you will be able to think of Me .... Hence I try to influence your will in every way so that it will turn to Me and hand itself over to Me .... For I Am motivated to do so by My great love for you which would like to unite itself with you again and this requires your free will .... After your long development before your embodiment as a human being you are now in a state of maturity which only requires you to make use of the blessings of being human in order to achieve your goal .... For every day will also offer you the opportunities to attain knowledge about your God and Creator, since every day will give you the opportunity to practise love, when you are able to carry out deeds of love, which will also guarantee you correct thinking and grant you the recognition that you have to fulfil a task on earth .... And considerable information about the reason for your earthly existence can be made accessible to you, and through this knowledge you can also be pushed towards Me, Who is imparting the information to you Himself, because you must learn to recognise Me in order to then also strive consciously towards Me.

My love will do anything so that you will bring the course of development to fruition, which shall return you to Me for good .... But one thing even My infinite love cannot do: it cannot force you to return to Me against your will .... You have to take the path of earthly life in absolute freedom, but you will be and remain infinitely happy if your will makes a free decision for Me. You will no longer need to fear regression; for once I have won you for Myself I will hold on to you and never ever leave you to My adversary .... But in earthly life he is likewise struggling for your souls, and you should know this so that you can make a conscious choice, so that you will offer him resistance and take your path to Me in order to help you .... so that you will lay claim to the blessings of Jesus Christ's act of Salvation, in Whom I Myself came to earth in order to pay the purchase price for your souls .... For you belonged to My adversary as well, since you had followed him of your own free will .... And you should know that it is possible to be released from his control if you take the path to the cross and thereby show that your will has freely chosen Me .... And for that reason I constantly reveal Myself to humanity and inform them of the reason for their earthly progress and the opportunity to find final deliverance through Jesus Christ, in Whom I Myself brought you redemption from sin and death ....

Amen

Strokes of fate .... disasters .... misfortunes ....

B.D. 8269 from September 10th 1962, taken from Book No. 87

Hear My voice which will always sound to you from above because it is necessary for the father to speak to His children .... I have mercy on humanity because the end is near and it will mostly pass away without knowing what is ahead of it if it does not establish the bond with Me first. Yet people are so distant from Me, their God and creator, that they do not establish any spiritual bond whatsoever, that they only pay attention to the earthly world, which is My adversary's kingdom .... And they are not to be instructed either, for My adversary has confused their thinking and he has also hardened their hearts so that they only love themselves but feel no love for their neighbour who is in need .... Every person is only concerned about increasing his earthly goods and creating a sense of well-being for his earthly body .... Yet very few think of their souls, and therefore there is such great spiritual hardship on earth which time and again causes Me to speak to My living creations in the form of harsh strokes of fate, disasters and accidents of all kinds, for which you humans cannot really understand, that they are permissions from a loving God Who only wants to bring His living creations to their senses, Who addresses them in this way because they don't listen to His word from above. And therefore the earthly adversity will increase, the time of tribulation will befall people, which can serve to make people change their minds and take the path to Me. How easily they could find it if only they paid attention to My word which sounds to them from above, which is conveyed to them through My messengers. The transmission of My word is the most effective means, but its acceptance requires their free will, and I do not force it. This is why you, My servants, are very necessary for this last rescue mission of Mine, and I bless every work you do for Me ..... For it is a dreadful fate that awaits those who have not taken the path back to Me before the end. I know this and therefore still take from earth those who have not completely fallen prey to My adversary, so that they will still attain a clear light in the kingdom of the beyond and then be able to strive upwards. And that is why time and again you will hear of deaths in great numbers, and then you should always know that My great mercy has called these people from earth so that they will not completely fall prey to My adversary. The fact that good people will also be affected is truly not a disaster for them, for they can contribute to showing the others the way in the kingdom of the beyond. Their love can bring many blessings in the beyond, and they themselves will also be able to increase their degree of maturity through their redemptive work, which is their need in view of the many poor, sick and weak souls who suddenly found death and are without light .... Time is drawing to a close and every day must be evaluated for the redemption of erring souls. And what better thing can you, My servants on earth, do than to let Me speak to people through you? What better can you do than to spread My word and also make it accessible to those who are still in the world and find it difficult to detach themselves from it? Your constant bond with Me gives Me the opportunity to address many people, and the strength of My word will bring about a change of will in those who have not yet completely fallen prey to My adversary, and then they will also be saved from the abyss they are now approaching .... The fact that hardship will also increase has been announced to you time and again, but you should also have the right explanation for this, that only love for the creations which are still apostate to Me will cause Me to do so, even if you doubt it and sometimes cannot believe it when you receive news of great disastrous strokes of fate which affect people all over the world .... If they contribute to people being so touched by them that the will to help is expressed in them, that love is kindled in them, then these strokes of fate will also be a blessing if you consider that these people will escape a new banishment which will bring them endless times of torment and bondage again .... For I only ever want to help people become blissfully happy, and I will do everything so that they will still complete their course of development on this earth ....

Amen

Recognizing real revelations ....

B.D. 8270 from September 12th 1962, taken from Book No. 87

You humans do not yet live your earthly life free of error, and this is the reason why I speak to you Myself, Who alone can enlighten you as to what you humans should accept as truth and what you must reject as error if your soul is to gain an advantage in order to one day be able to enter the spiritual kingdom where the light will shine towards you .... And I also speak to you clearly and unequivocally, for I take into account the lightless state as well as the individual soul's maturity, that My address shall be understandable to all of them. But the truth will always be offered to you in purest form, after all, it is My endeavour to find access to your hearts Myself so that you will grant Me entrance of your own free will and recognize Me as the one Who wants to bring you salvation. And if you therefore hear Me .... be it directly or through My messengers .... it will become light in you, that is, knowledge will be made accessible to you which you did not possess before .... It will be as if a good teacher instructs you, whom you now follow attentively and you gain spiritual benefit from every speech. You will therefore feel that you have been taught by Me Myself .... your God and father .... and are introduced to this knowledge. And through this address you are in direct contact with Me, and this inner bond with Me is necessary for the understanding of what is imparted to you. But you must not forget that this exchange will only ever be of a spiritual nature, that you will be spiritually instructed, that I convey the truth to you about purely spiritual things. And you should always remember this .... For when your God and father reveals Himself through the word His goal is only ever the spiritual development of the soul, and you humans should only ever want to receive for your soul, you should only ever desire to hear Me in order to help your soul to recover, which is still sick and weak as long as it lives on earth as a human being and therefore needs My help for its perfection. And you can be certain that everything will be done by Me to strengthen the soul for its ascent upwards. The fact that I therefore address you humans directly cannot be doubted .... but you yourselves must decide what you want to accept as a direct address from your father .... you must make this decision yourselves, after all, My spirit is always willing to instruct you if you ask for it. And My spirit does not contradict itself .... He will always give you the same answer that you must pay attention whether and to what extent you receive light, because only bright light can radiate from Me. And anyone who receives this light, who allows himself to be permeated by it, will no longer allow himself to be deceived by error, even though he is offered it under the mask of light. He will inwardly resist it, no matter how good the disguise is ..... I approve of everything that teaches love and practices love, and thus I will also bless every preacher who proclaims the gospel of love to people, and depending on his own willingness to love My spirit will also be active in him so that he will then speak in My spirit and spread blessings. Yet I will not use such a preacher as a 'form' through which I make Myself known, instead, he will speak as the human being he is and only the content will betray My spirit, but not that another voice speaks through him which will then be passed off as My voice. If, on the other hand, a direct revelation on My part is conveyed to earth, then it happens in such a way that My spirit addresses the spiritual spark in the human being and the latter then writes down what is conveyed to him by the spirit within himself .... because such revelations shall always be conveyed to humanity, just as they have come to the human being from within. You should only ever make an effort to want to judge rightly and justly, and then you will also have the right feeling for truth and error, you will not accept everything lightly, but neither will you reject what has come forth from Me directly and is conveyed to you. For My adversary also intervenes and disguises himself well when it is necessary to cause confusion even amongst My own .... He, too, will try to work in the same way and make use of those who are not yet entirely in the light and are not untouchable against his attacks ....

Amen

Knowing God also guarantees ascent ....

B.D. 8271 from September 13th 1962, taken from Book No. 87

Anyone who professes Me will also be active in My will, for I can direct his thoughts without he is offering resistance to Me. The conscious recognition of My Self .... thus the living faith in Me and the resulting subordination of his will to Mine .... now also lets him be active according to My will, regardless of whether his activity is merely earthly or spiritual .... He will always do what corresponds to My law of order, it will always be an activity of love to which he is not forced. Thus a right way of life emerges from the acknowledgement of Myself. Anyone who believes in Me also fulfils My commandments of love, for his faith is itself only the result of the activity of love (life), otherwise he would not be alive. And such recognition of Myself is also a passed test of will for the purpose of which the human being lives on earth .... And this person can now also know himself to be guided and led by Me, for he has voluntarily detached himself from My adversary and turned to Me, so that I now also have the right and the power to influence him and help him to achieve perfection. My adversary, however, will now likewise try to influence him, and he will do so in such a way that he will try to keep the human being in spiritual darkness .... which he will succeed in doing if the desire for light, for truth, is not strong enough to approach Me Myself for it .... For people live in the world, they can certainly acknowledge Me, they can believe in Me, yet they do not seek to penetrate deeper into the secrets of the spiritual kingdom and thus do not desire the light of truth .... The God in Whom they (indeed) believe seems too distant to them to want to approach Him (Me) in direct contact with Me to enlighten them about the correlations, about the truth which solves deeper problems than merely worldly questions. They are content with the teachings of faith they have been offered and do not test them for their truth, for their origin ..... And time and again the adversary tries such people, albeit without success, because I protect everyone from him who acknowledges Me, who believes in Me. Yet as long as this person has not penetrated the truth from Me he will also have to fight against him, for his still worldly attitude also holds the person back from the flight of fancy which he will only undertake when he separates himself from the world and now gives his thoughts a different direction .... Only precious years of life can be lost to him which he could have better used for his soul, but he will certainly come to this realization one day because he acknowledges Me and thus has already given up his resistance against Me .... He can no longer fall, he merely remains on the same level of development for a long time due to his too lukewarm attitude towards truth, which first gives him a bright light and now consciously lets him strive towards the height. The more love breaks through in a person the sooner the desire for truth will awaken in him, the livelier his faith will be and he will establish a heartfelt bond with Me, which always signifies progress on his path of ascent. The 'world' will always hold the human being back in his development, but this does not mean that My adversary has full power over him, for as soon as I Myself am acknowledged I can also emanate My influence, and this will certainly not be without success, only the human being will be held back by the world and he may need a longer time until he has detached himself from it. And this is what My words mean: „He who is not against Me is for Me ...." As soon as the resistance against Me is abandoned, the human being will also be seized by Me and no longer left to the adversary .... But the latter will struggle for his soul until the end but will not reach the goal because this soul also belongs to Me and I will truly no longer allow My right to be disputed ....

Amen

Recognising the true messengers ....

B.D. 8272 from September 14th 1962, taken from Book No. 87

The human being’s will to know the truth is blessed by Me, for then I will be able to reveal Myself to him, I will be able to mentally convey the truth to him or address him so that he will hear My Word. Under no circumstances do I want him to accept mental concepts which seem doubtful to him, for such doubts are justified if he genuinely requests the truth. Then these doubts will already constitute a mild rejection of what contradicts the truth. You ask Me how you can recognise the truth, you ask, how you can recognise My messengers .... If I transmit a major revelation to earth you will always recognise it as coming from Me by the bright ray of light that illuminates your heart .... For a divine revelation has to enrich you, you have to receive something that makes you happy, that you don’t want to part with again .... always provided that you genuinely desire the truth .... then the Eternal Truth will reveal Itself to you. In that case it is irrelevant as to whether you receive this gift directly or through My messengers, for then you will also experience the same feeling, because they, too, only impart what originates from Me.

If, however, the spiritual information leaves you unmoved or you inwardly reject it, then you can unhesitatingly dismiss it, for it will never be a divine revelation but usually your own or adopted ideas which have no effective strength. Then you need not fear to do wrong, for anyone who wants to hear Me will also recognise My voice .... ‘He who keeps My commandments is the one who loves Me .... and I will reveal Myself to him ....’ i.e. I will make Myself known to him. And the human being will recognise Me when he is informed about My nature .... when he receives the knowledge which hitherto was hidden from him .... Hence on account of this knowledge he will be able to recognise Me .... for knowledge, in turn, is the light which illuminates a person from within. If you therefore receive varying knowledge, i.e. contradicting knowledge from external sources you only need to make heartfelt contact with Me and ask Me to help you recognise the truth and truly, you will feel the correct spiritual knowledge come forth from Me and can safely reject the rest. Not everyone hears My Word directly, and yet I Am addressing him Myself when the directly received Word is imparted to him .... And if I address him Myself through these very messengers who received it directly from Me, he will also feel that he is being addressed by Me, and this is your most reliable evidence that you receive the purest truth, for I place this feeling into your heart Myself ....

You have further reliable proof of a ‘divine revelation’ if it keeps exposing existing misguided teachings, if the contents of such a revelation clearly intend to ‘purify the Gospel’ which was repeatedly spoiled by human will .... True messengers can therefore only be people who endorse the truth of such a revelation, who make sure that these revelations are passed on to people .... Since I Am the Eternal Truth Myself I will consequently also ensure that people can receive the truth if they genuinely want it .... A revelation from Me must therefore enlighten them about everything pertaining to spiritual subjects. Thus I only call those people ‘My messengers’ who try to spread My Word which I directly conveyed to earth .... I indeed pour out My spirit upon all flesh, as I promised .... Yet this is not limited to such obviously remarkable revelations on My part but includes enlightened reasoning, correct communication in spiritual discussions, realisation of My divine Word, hence also complete understanding of the unusual knowledge contained in My revelations from above .... And if the recipients of My Word can be addressed by Me directly they will always proclaim and advocate the same .... For this reason an unusual revelation can always be regarded as a criterion for the truth of spiritual knowledge, and since its contents predominantly consist of Jesus Christ’s act of Salvation it also proves its divine origin and therefore also guarantees the complete truth ....

Amen

Reason for deformed births ....

B.D. 8273 from September 15th 1962, taken from Book No. 87

And everyone shall be blessed who hands himself over to Me and appeals for My support. I will not close Myself to any plea which applies to the salvation of your souls. And whatever you desire to know you shall learn: You humans have to go through the school of the spirit for which I designated the creation work Earth, and every human being will be able to fully mature on it, for it offers opportunities for all levels of development. The souls, however .... the once fallen original spirits .... developed so differently during their earthly progress in the state of compulsion, that they also require different situations in life. Admittedly, they must have attained a certain degree of maturity in order to be allowed to embody themselves as a human being, yet the closer they came to this last incarnation the more flexible became the constraints of their external shells, and the spiritual substances bound in the forms were able to make use of this relaxation but also to ignore it ....

And such is the soul's nature at the start of its path as a human being. These different states of soul also require different earthly paths which can result in total freedom from the form. Even still heavily burdened souls are still able to do this successfully if they voluntarily accept a particularly difficult earthly life. And the soul can decide for itself whether it wants to take this path, since it is shown to the soul before its embodiment ....

This is one explanation why people suffer physical afflictions, whose arduous fate often makes you question the reason for their condition .... But there are also incarnated souls who voluntarily accept an especially difficult earthly progress even though they don't need it themselves, who want to go to earth from the beyond and ask for My permission in order to thereby help other souls. Hence they don't have to fulfil a mission but they are merely the burden themselves, who offer their fellow human beings the opportunity to practise love, patience, compassion, gentleness, peacefulness and righteousness .... who thereby heighten their own state of maturity but have already reached a certain state of maturity in the kingdom of the beyond that allows a new incarnation on earth because their request is motivated by a strong will of love and helpfulness .... But then you cannot say that these human beings are in a state of atonement, for immature souls will not be allowed to incarnate again in order to improve their maturity. And you should never forget that no soul is forced to live on earth but voluntarily accepts a fate which it knows in advance. The 'atonement' of a sin on earth is a misguided opinion because only Jesus Christ is able to redeem this guilt and thus the human being finds forgiveness solely through Him, for all of humanity's sins have been 'atoned' for by Him .... And this forgiveness by Jesus Christ must first take place before a soul will be able to voluntarily incarnate itself on earth again for the sake of a mission or in order to render help .... For an enlightened soul is aware of people's heartless state on earth, especially in the last days, and it is also willing to actively help so that people will ignite love within themselves, so that they will exercise compassion, so that they will be able to develop all virtues when they live in the vicinity of a deformed or unhappy person. For I repeatedly emphasise that return incarnations to earth certainly happen but that they all have their specific reasons, yet a still immature soul will never return to earth as a result of My will in order to make up for what it had neglected to do on earth ....

Only voluntary sacrifices of atonement can persuade Me to give My permission, but these always have to be preceded by their own salvation through Jesus Christ. The fact that such a soul will also have the opportunity to attain a high degree of maturity on this earth is understandable, because every voluntary sacrifice will be acknowledged and blessed by Me ....

Amen

The last disciples - Knowledge of the essence of God ....

B.D. 8274 from September 16th 1962, taken from Book No. 87

As My last disciples, you are to carry My gospel out into the world .... You should impart spiritual goods to people who are still in the midst of the world .... you should try to turn their thoughts away from this world and make the spiritual kingdom accessible to them by imparting spiritual goods to them .... It is indeed up to the will of each individual whether he will accept from you what you offer him .... Yet you should not refrain from also offering spiritual gifts to those who still possess little of them. And therefore I send My disciples out again, yet I first make them suitable to carry out this task by first providing them with spiritual knowledge Myself, by giving them what they are to pass on to their fellow human beings. For it is important that they distribute a good gift, that they instruct people, that they impart spiritual knowledge to them which they have received from Me Myself and which is therefore extremely effective and beneficial for people's souls. Just as I once sent My disciples out into the world to proclaim My gospel to it, just as they once spread the teachings they had received from Me Myself because they were to pass on the pure truth .... so too they (the disciples) can now only be successfully active for Me in the last days if they can distribute pure truth, because only through truth can people find the right path to Me and because only truth can cause them to take this path to Me .... For through truth they recognize Me Myself, about Whose nature people know too little and therefore they do not try to approach Me but I remain the distant God to them, even if they believe in a 'God'. I Myself can only convey the pure truth to them through My servants, through people who have voluntarily offered themselves to Me for service .... And these now receive from Me what they are to convey to their fellow human beings and what they need to fulfil their earthly task .... For the time being the gospel of love has to be proclaimed to people, for only love can bring them closer to their God and creator, from Whom they once voluntarily separated .... I want to help people to become blissfully happy again as they once did when they came forth from Me in all perfection. But now, in the last days, love has grown cold among people and therefore they are far away from Me, they are far away from the truth, they are spiritually darkened, for without love they are still under My adversary's control and don't recognize Me, Who, as their father of eternity, constantly wants to radiate My love to them in order to fetch them back to Me, and Whom they therefore cannot recognize because there is no love in them which would give them bright light about Me Myself and My being, which is pure love .... And My adversary also wants to prevent people from recognizing and learning to love Me. And therefore he also keeps them in deepest spiritual darkness, he withholds the truth from them and also prevents My servants from imparting truth to their fellow human beings. Yet these are under My protection and I Myself send them out, time and again I will provide them with abundant seed and they will do good vineyard work, they will cultivate the fields which lie fallow, they will sow and also reap good fruit, they will always serve Me as faithful servants because they themselves know what hardship there is amongst people as long as they know nothing of My infinite fatherly love and they (don't) turn to Me themselves in order to now also be illuminated by My love .... But if the gospel of love is proclaimed to them they will find a path to Me if only they fulfil My commandments of love, for they only live on earth for this reason alone, in order to ignite love in themselves of their own free will and thereby to integrate themselves into the divine law of order again, the principle of which is love .... Love shall be proclaimed and lived out by you, My servants, you yourselves shall precede them with the light which love has kindled in you .... For you receive My word and shall pass this word on so that people will know about My will, so that they voluntarily turn to Me and can now also experience the effect of a life of love themselves, so that they will now take their earthly path with Me, Who can be close to them again if they change to love themselves, because I can only be where love is and because without love no-one can become blissfully happy ....

Amen

God is inscrutable ....

B.D. 8275 from September 17th 1962, taken from Book No. 87

You, My living creations, will never be able to fathom Me, even when you, as My supremely perfect children, are able to work and be active next to Me. You are the product of My eternal creative power .... I, however, Am the source of strength Itself, Which is inexhaustible, Which knows no limit, Which constantly pours Its flow into infinity .... But I Am also a Being, i.e., I Am a thinking Spirit of most profound wisdom Who works according to His will with inconceivable love and makes everything He creates infinitely happy .... I Am a thinking Entity Who constantly lets new creations arise, since the strength flowing forth from Me cannot remain inactive because it is life and constantly creates life. And when you, My living creations, reach highest perfection of your own free will so that you can work and create next to Me as My children, then you will indeed have penetrated the most profound wisdom, you will have light and strength at your own disposal which will make you tremendously happy and of which you can make infinite use in order to be creatively active for your own happiness, and this strength will constantly flow to you from the Primary Source of eternity.

He Himself, however, will be and remain inscrutable for you, yet the awareness that you will always be nourished by Him is utmost bliss, and your love for Me will continually increase, you will yearn for Me and forever sense My presence, you will be able to behold Me in Jesus Christ .... and yet, I will remain an enigma for you, since it is not possible for a created being to totally ascertain the Entity which is and will remain from everlasting to everlasting, because the created being is but a tiny spark that was externalised by My love's sea of flames. But the fact that this created being knows that it is forever nourished by My strength of love, that the being is aware that it is united with Me .... that it can constantly associate with Me like a child with its Father, that it can speak to Me and be active with Me in absolute blissful togetherness, is continually increasing its bliss and lets its love become ever more profound .... And love is bliss .... love is light .... love is strength .... love is the divine which makes every being become a god in its own right, because love always grants ever greater perfection .... Yet the fact that there is no limit, that is the unimaginable beatitude which I bestow upon My living creations time and again and which can only be understood in the state of perfection, when the being which I emanated as a living creation has deified itself and become My child.

Then it knows that I Am forever inscrutable, and yet it adamantly keeps striving towards Me, it feels the bliss of approaching Me and finds its happiness in My reciprocated love .... of which you humans lack all understanding as yet because you are still imperfect. But you are only intended to receive a concept of eternity which will be comprehensible to you one day, and therefore you shall also know that this supremely perfect Being will certainly reach His goal of being able to make everything that was created by Him infinitely happy. And it shall only be an incentive for you to keep striving towards your perfection, for it will bring you beatitudes in abundance .... Yet it is and will remain incomprehensible for you that I draw close to you, My living creations, and speak to you .... that I Am and eternally will remain unattainable for you and nevertheless embrace every single living creation with deepest love and draw it close to Me, that I try to make Myself and My Nature explicable to you in order to win your love, because I can only merge with love and this unification is needed in order to make you infinitely happy one day .... The most perfect Being .... the greatest Spirit in infinity .... the Eternal Source of strength and light .... is seeking the union with you, His living creations, and therefore He is speaking to you .... He bends down to the smallest being in order to aid its ascent. And His love will never diminish, because love knows no limit and tries to make everything blissfully happy that once had emerged from this love ....

Amen

Teaching in the afterlife requires truth ....

B.D. 8276 from September 18th 1962, taken from Book No. 87

Once you have entered the spiritual kingdom and only a small light can shine for you, then you will know how necessary it is to be in possession of the pure truth, for every error will darken the light like a shadow, and no radiant light will shine through you until you have completely penetrated the truth .... Thus you will also need guides over there who will supply you with this light, who will stand in the truth themselves and also be able to instruct you in it. And until then you will not be able to carry out the delightful work over there yourselves of giving light to other souls, for you first have to stand in truth yourselves before you are allowed to engage in a teaching activity which makes you unspeakably happy .... Every erroneous opinion still darkens the sphere around you, and you can be grateful if you don't need to enter into darkness, for then you won't know the cause of the darkness and therefore won't try to remedy it either. But if you have already let the light of truth shine in you on earth then your entry into the beyond will be truly blissful, because a brightly radiating light will receive you, because you may now dwell in a sphere where all burdens fall away from you, where everything lies before you in clarity, where you may now distribute what you possess, because you can show many spiritual treasures which you acquired on earth through love. For love also places you into the state of pure truth, and if your life on earth was a life of love and all deeper knowledge was alien to you, it will be imparted to you in a flash upon your entry into the spiritual kingdom. And if you live a life of love on earth then you will also easily be able to recognize error and your thoughts will be turned towards the truth .... No wrong spiritual knowledge will burden you in the kingdom of the beyond and cover the light, for only pure truth is a true light, which you will recognize after your death. Therefore I Myself try to convey the truth to you on earth already, for to know the right knowledge is already bliss, which increases when you can impart your knowledge to other souls because love impels you to do so. And therefore even the souls in the beyond, which are still weak in will, eagerly accept the truth from My mouth when I instruct you, because they are allowed to participate, for I will not deny Myself to any being which desires to hear Me Myself. Light must become everywhere where My adversary still seeks to spread darkness. He is the lord of darkness, and his endeavour will constantly be to withhold the pure truth from people but to make error and lies accessible to them, and countless people depart from this earth in a lightless state because they did not resist the darkness, because they did not desire the truth which would certainly have been supplied to them if the desire for it had been present .... It is about the soul's fate in the beyond .... Only love will earn it a blissful fate, because love also guarantees the entrance into the kingdom of light, where the soul can now be active for its own happiness by carrying light into the darkness again itself. Yet the battle of darkness against the light will not cease, and the human being's free will decides the victory .... In the last days, however, it will be particularly fierce because the adversary does not want to lose his followers, but the light will expose him and his activities and he will use all means to keep people in darkness .... The fact that I Myself fight for the souls and time and again kindle a light for them so that they will find the path to Me, Whom they will also recognize and learn to love in the light, is understandable, for My love wants to help them attain beatitude, and My love therefore wants to repeatedly convey the pure truth to people and uncover and correct existing misguided teachings. And I will always point people to My commandments of love, I will always admonish them to live a life of love, because then only they will be able to recognize the truth and their state of light will increase, so that they will then also end their earthly life in a high degree of light and love and enter My kingdom, where they will then be blissfully happy in the light and also be able to radiate it into the darkness again ....

Signs of the last days ....

B.D. 8277 from September 20th 1962, taken from Book No. 87

You can rest assured that everything I have announced through seers and prophets will fulfil itself, for the end moves ever closer and by the signs of the times you will recognise the hour you live in. Time and again the objection is raised that the end was always dreaded during bad times and yet the earth continued to exist .... that even My disciples had counted on My early return and that they, too, had been mistaken .... And likewise they don't want to listen and believe in My present proclamations. And I repeatedly emphasise the fact that one day the future will become the present and that you humans have now arrived at the lowest spiritual point which necessitates an end of this earth which, however, should only be understood as a total transformation of the earth's surface and not the destruction of the earth as a work of creation. For this earth will continue to fulfil its task in the universe, it will continue to shelter people for the purpose of maturing their souls .... Yet first it has to be made suitable for this again.

My Word is truth, and if I send you My Word from above, if I explain My plan of Salvation to you so that you will also know all correlations, then I actually only intend you to faithfully accept My warnings and admonitions and change your attitude towards Me accordingly .... For you should think further than just your daily life, you should think of what lies ahead of you since you know for certain that you will have to die and cannot prolong your life for even one day, that you therefore depend on the Power which called you into being .... You should seriously deliberate these thoughts, and it will not be to your disadvantage, for then I will also help you to think clearly and to consider the idea of an end, and what this end means for each one of you. If you believe in a God and Creator Whose love called you into being then you will not be so worried when you are made aware of a near end, for then you will know that this God and Creator also holds your destiny in His hands, that you only need to commend yourselves to His love and grace in order to be safely lead through the approaching time .... And the references relating to it won't frighten you, instead you will merely join more closely with your God and Creator, Whom you recognise as your eternal Father.

Yet the unbelievers will be badly affected, and it is to them which My constant prophesies of a near end apply, for they can still change themselves during the short time they have left. Just pay attention to the signs of the time, for I have already announced those to My first disciples .... But by now you are at the start of the time of affliction, you hear about wars, about earthquakes .... accidents and disasters are increasing .... you can observe changes in the universe, and you also see how people behave who have degenerated and believe that they can interfere in My creation, who let themselves be driven to God-opposing experiments which will not end well ....

Notice the frame of mind of people who indulge in worldly pleasures, who are harsh and unloving and don't consider their neighbour's hardship .... Pay attention to the lack of faith, to their attitude towards Jesus Christ and His act of Salvation, and you will know that you are already living in the midst of time which precedes the end. The battle of faith, too, will flare up with such cruelty you would not think possible. And this spiritual low level will draw the end closer and has already reached the degree which would justify My intervention, but I will not divert from the day that has been determined in My plan of Salvation since eternity .... But neither will I postpone this day, for in My wisdom I also realised when the time is right for the work of transformation to take place ....

And therefore I will let My voice be heard until the end announcing the approaching end, and happy is he who listens to this voice and prepares himself .... happy is he who wants to belong to My Own and remains loyal to Me until the end .... For I will provide him with exceptional strength, he will stand firm and need not fear the day of the end ....

Amen

Inner urging is God's will .... Cooperation needed ....

B.D. 8278 from September 21st 1962, taken from Book No. 87

Time and again I will supply you, My servants, with people to whom you shall convey the truth from Me, for I know the hearts of those who desire the truth, and I will guide all threads such that they will lead to the source which I have opened up, where hunger and thirst can be quenched, where the earthly pilgrims can refresh and refresh themselves and time and again fetch new strength for their ascent upwards. Only the desire for it is necessary, and truly, they will find the fountain of life from which they can draw constantly. And if you are urged from within to convey My word to this or that person, then know that I Myself will also work in you, that I will give you the right thoughts, that I will guide you and that you can regard this inner urge as an assignment from Me, for anyone who works for Me has his path marked out for him by Me and will always do what is My will .... For it is still the last time of grace which shall be utilised to the best of My ability, because every soul is exceedingly dear to Me and I still want to win it for Myself before the end. And time and again I have to say that only truth can bring salvation to people, for they will not reach the goal by the path of error, by the path of error they are still in bondage to My adversary because he keeps them in spiritual darkness .... But in darkness they don't recognize Me, and I must be recognized by everyone who wants to reach his goal on earth, for he has to strive towards Me and can only do so if he recognizes Me in My nature, otherwise his resistance towards Me will remain unbroken and the distance from him to Me, which he once caused himself, cannot be reduced. But I know where the resistance has already diminished, and these I pursue with My love, and I want to address them so that they learn to recognize Me correctly. Thus I will bring them to you, and truly, anyone who desires the truth will not be disappointed, he will be happy about My address and learn to recognize and love Me. Do you now understand why I need your cooperation? It is truly possible for Me to enlighten all people abruptly and to inform them of the pure truth, yet I cannot do so due to people's free will and require your cooperation, for no-one will be forced to accept the truth but they must have the opportunity to take notice of it .... The truth must be conveyed to them from Me, which can only ever happen through you, who are faithful servants to Me in My vineyard. It is a different sphere in which you humans dwell than the kingdom where I can work in all strength .... And this sphere has to be taken into account, people can only ever receive a limited amount of light and strength .... but if I were to address all people directly, so that there could be no doubt about Me and My might, this sphere could never be exchanged for that sphere in My kingdom, for free will has to bring about the perfection of the human soul ..... whereas through your cooperation this free will can decide and the souls will derive the greatest advantage from My address, which they listen to and now live their life on earth according to My word. Therefore you, who have offered yourselves to Me for service, must be eagerly active and I will bless your work, I will guide it to success and direct everything such that no spiritual work is done in vain. Therefore, don't let yourselves be held back by this activity, always place it in the foreground of your work on this earth, for the time until the end is only short and many shall still find their way to Me, many shall still take notice of the truth which I Myself convey to earth in order to save people from spiritual darkness. For only those who walk in the light will find the right path to Me, only those who walk in the light will recognize Me, and they will desire Me and I will unite with them, they will reach their goal and be eternally blissful ....

Amen

General prayer actions ....

B.D. 8279 from September 22nd 1962, taken from Book No. 87

Everything that is still done in the end time for the salvation of erring souls will meet My approval, for the will of the one who wants to do redemptive work also determines the value of his work. If love impels a person to offer himself to Me for service in order to bring the lost children back to Me, My blessing will always be upon his work, and the success will also depend on the strength of his love. But you, who want to do this work, must always bear in mind that a living proclamation of My gospel must take place .... People must not be pushed into mechanical action, that they are prompted into actions of prayer which can easily become form again, but everyone must be deeply touched in his heart and now also act from within .... He must practise love, for this alone also guarantees the salvation of a soul .... General actions of prayer, however, only lead to habitual exercises again and can very easily be carried out mechanically, which, however, remains without value for the souls. For it may well be the will of those who want to induce their fellow human beings into uninterrupted prayer .... But believe Me, every prayer must come from the innermost heart, then it will ascend and reach My ear .... But people rarely speak this innermost language of the heart, for they are seldom able to close themselves off and present their request to Me in a quiet chamber .... Every soul has to work on itself, no one else can do this work for it, and therefore don't let your prayer to Me become a lip service which will never reach My ear .... In contrast, preach love, which is always the guarantee that you will unite with Me, because I Myself am in every work of love .... Then you will be active in My will and I will bless you. You should always remember what it means to send a prayer to Me in spirit and in truth .... This requires innermost contemplation, complete closure from the external world, the human being's soul has to be so close to Me, it has to force My presence through its love for Me and then speak to Me like a child speaks trustingly to its father and entrusts its most secret wishes to Him with the request for fulfilment .... And such a deep inner bond will rarely only be possible if a circle of prayers meets in a planned way, if these prayers take place at fixed times or if people listen to the prayer of one individual .... A heartfelt prayer, as I want to hear it from you, cannot be achieved in a comandom manner .... For then you humans do not yet understand in which way I want to be called upon by you .... But not for nothing have I said that you should pray in spirit and in truth .... For I can and will only answer such a prayer, because only such a prayer proves to Me that the human being establishes the right relationship between child and Me and that I can then also prove Myself to him as a loving father. For I have also said: „Where two or three are gathered in My name, there am I in the midst of them ...." These words should also give you the same to think about, for I know human hearts and therefore also know how different every individual person's train of thought is, even if the will is there to take the right path .... And how different are therefore also the prayers which I hear and often cannot hear because they only pass through the lips but do not come from the deepest bottom of the heart. If love is taught and made the most important thing to people then the individual soul will also deal with it, and its spiritual progress will be in accordance with its willingness to love, and then it will also establish the intimate connection with Me .... For this is only ever the result of love, because without love no human being can approach Me and therefore every prayer can only be empty words, no matter how loud and numerous they are spoken .... Only through love does the child approach the father, and then it can also achieve everything, because My love is endless and only ever wants to give and give itself away. The proclamation of the gospel of love is therefore the first and most important thing, and anyone who voluntarily offers himself to Me for this activity will also be allowed to experience My blessing, for as soon as only love is kindled amongst people they need not fear getting lost when the end has come .... Where love is lived there is light, and there the prince of darkness has lost his power .... Therefore encourage people to work with love wherever you can speak to them .... For you humans are only on earth for the purpose of transforming your nature into love ....

Amen

Why Jesus Christ must be acknowledged ....

B.D. 8280 from September 23rd 1962, taken from Book No. 87

Time and again you have to be reminded that you cannot ignore Jesus Christ, that you have to acknowledge His act of salvation if you want to be released from your original sin, if you want to be accepted again into the kingdom of light and bliss. You have to find Him, the divine redeemer, during your earthly life in order to be released from your guilt, for He took this guilt upon Himself and travelled the path to the cross with it, He suffered for you and died an agonising death for the sake of your original sin .... If you do not accept His redemption, you will remain burdened with the great guilt of your former apostasy from God, and you will enter the kingdom of the beyond unredeemed .... But even then you still have the great grace that He accepts you and redeems your guilt of sin if you call out to Him of your own free will that He may deliver you from darkness .... But it is far more difficult in the kingdom of the beyond to come to the realization that sin keeps you in darkness and that you must first have found forgiveness for your sins if you want to ascend and enter the kingdom of light. Without Jesus Christ there is no redemption. For this reason the great act of mercy of the man Jesus is repeatedly brought to your attention on earth, in Whom God embodied Himself, because His great love wanted to redeem the guilt for you and therefore this love took abode in the man Jesus, Who suffered unspeakably and died on the cross because the love in Him drove Him, because He wanted to purchase beatitude for His fallen brothers again, because He wanted to help them to return to the father from Whom they had detached themselves of their own free will .... and this was the great guilt which they were unable to redeem themselves, which kept them separated from the father for an infinitely long time and which can therefore only be taken away from people through Jesus Christ, who acknowledge Him and His act of Salvation and thus also God Himself in Him .... Whatever is possible will still be done in the last days before the end so that people will be informed of the great act of mercy of the man Jesus, for to enter the kingdom of the beyond unredeemed after the death of the body means profound darkness and an extremely painful path of suffering in the spiritual kingdom until this soul has also found the divine redeemer and appeals to Him for mercy .... Every soul can find Him but equally it can also sink to the abyss if it resists all efforts of the beings of light and does not accept any instructions from them, if, as on earth, it closes itself to all better knowledge, if its will is not directed upwards, if its resistance does not abate and the efforts of spiritual friends are in vain. Then the soul will remain burdened by its original sin and descend into the abyss again in order to take a new path across earth .... but again the course through all works of creation, from hard matter on through the plant and animal kingdom up to the human being .... And endless times pass again until it once more starts its walk on earth as a human being in order to find redemption from its guilt in free will. Jesus offered the sacrifice on the cross for humanity's sins, and the blessings of the act of salvation are accessible to all people, all people can be released from their guilt if only they take the path to the cross, if they acknowledge Jesus Christ as the son of God in Whom the eternal deity manifested Itself and now approach Him for forgiveness of their guilt, for which the eternal love sacrificed Itself in Jesus. And time and again people are therefore given truthful knowledge about Jesus and His act of salvation so that people learn to recognize why they have to acknowledge Him, why they should appeal for His forgiveness and why the acknowledgement of God in Jesus is demanded of them .... And the process of the spirits' apostasy from God is explained to people and the consequences which can only be cancelled by Jesus Christ because love was in Him, Which alone was able to redeem this great original sin .... And therefore people experience the truth time and again so that they voluntarily take the path to the cross and thus enter the bridge into the kingdom of light, for Jesus Christ opened the gate through His crucifixion, and He Himself leads the souls through this gate who acknowledge Him and avail themselves of the blessings of the act of salvation, which He acquired for sinful humanity through His death on the cross .... For He died for all people of the past, the present and the future, but He must be acknowledged and the forgiveness of the guilt of sin must be requested by everyone who believes in Him and wants to become blessed ....

Danger of arrogance ....

B.D. 8281 from September 24th 1962, taken from Book No. 87

Anyone who takes My Word 'You are all sinners ....' to heart, will also remain profoundly humble, he will not become arrogant nor judge harshly, for the knowledge of not yet being perfect himself will always make him bear in mind that he is a weak individual who needs My strength and support, and with a humble heart he will come to Me and appeal to Me for both .... In contrast, the character of someone sure of himself and his worth will betray pride, he will raise himself above his fellow human beings, and this arrogance will show itself in contempt of the other person, in unkind judgment and in the opinion of having superior knowledge and therefore no need of further instructions, be they of an earthly or spiritual nature .... the arrogant person will always believe himself to have attained the degree which entitles him to look down on his fellow human beings.

And arrogance is truly part of My adversary which made him fall into the deepest abyss, for he exalted himself above Me, his God and Creator, and he drew a vast host of created beings along with him into the depth. Much of this arrogant spirit still adheres to these fallen beings when they have to carry out their last test of will as human beings. Arrogance is a rather worrying sign of imperfection which the person then has to fight against in earthly life until he has attained profound humility towards Me, and then he will no longer show off to his fellow human beings either but will have full understanding of their failings, because he will recognise his own shortcomings himself.

But the right relationship with Me requires profound humility, and as soon as the human being recognises himself as sinful and admits to it, he will also take refuge in Jesus Christ and appeal to Him to deliver him from it .... Humility will make him call to Him from the bottom of his heart and he will find mercy before His eyes .... for 'I bestow My grace upon the humble ....' And no one can deem himself to be perfect for as long as he lives on earth .... He can only possess a higher degree of awareness, but precisely this will make him consistently more humble, because he recognises the greatness of his God and Creator and the infinite love this God and Creator bestows upon His living creations, which will certainly make the living creation indescribably happy but it will not make it condescending.

Arrogance is still an indication of insufficient knowledge, for the adversary tries to obscure the light, the adversary still has a share in the human being who is assured of himself and his worth .... You all still have to fight very much against this evil, for time and again My adversary will breathe a sense of loftiness into you, time and again he will know how to find a weak spot where he is able to awaken self-deceit in you. And therefore you all should be on your guard and try to nip every sense of arrogance in the bud, for you should always remember that your Saviour and Redeemer Jesus Christ has taken the path of most profound humility, precisely in order to atone for your fall caused by pride .... You should bear His torments and suffering in mind which this atonement demanded of Him .... And you should know that your path across earth is the result of this fall into the abyss caused by pride.

The return to Me can only take place on the path of humility, and the earthly path should lead you to the realisation that you are weak, helpless beings who require My loving support in order to ascend again, and who only ever have to ask Me for My assistance if they want to travel the earthly path successfully. But the person whose spirit is still arrogant is still distant from Me and thus will hardly find Me. For true love, which includes his neighbour, cannot develop in him correctly since in his arrogance he will stay away from the person to whom he should give his love. And since the human being can only mature through a life of love the arrogant person will not make any spiritual progress but remain on the same level, if he does not sink even lower because My adversary still keeps him captive.

Therefore fight against this evil and exercise strict self-criticism, then you will discover faults which will make you feel small, and you will come down from the throne you have erected for yourselves by incorrectly assessing your worth .... Humility alone will make you mature, then you will receive blessings in abundance from Me, I will take care of you Myself, for you come closer to Me when you are humble, and your prayer to Me will be heart-felt and devoted, and I will grant your request and draw you to Me as My children, for then you finally have separated yourselves from My adversary, who became My adversary because he exalted himself over the One from Whose strength he had emerged ....

Amen

The mystery of God’s human manifestation ....

B.D. 8282 from September 25th 1962, taken from Book No. 87

Time and again you receive information about Jesus Christ, the Son of God and Saviour of the world .... about God’s human manifestation in Jesus .... Precisely this manifestation of the greatest and most perfect spirit God .... of the Father, out of Whom everything emerged .... in the human being Jesus cannot be explained to you often enough, in order that you will not become subject to erroneous belief and understand where the spirit of God is expressing Itself and where the adversary intervenes to infiltrate the pure truth with error. Jesus’ soul of light .... one of the original spirits brought forth by Eternal Love .... had embodied Itself on earth for the purpose of an exalted mission: to offer the Father His temporal cover as an abode and to redeem the immense original sin of the former apostasy from God, which countless beings had burdened themselves with. Jesus’ soul had voluntarily offered to bring about the act of atonement on earth, and because It was moved by greater than great love for its fallen brothers and because God will never refute love, He allowed it to happen .... Because only love was able to make such a sacrifice .... The man Jesus then developed this love on earth to its fullest .... which means that Eternal Love Itself took complete possession of Jesus’ physical shell .... that therefore God Himself took abode in the man Jesus and was able to do so, because the human being Jesus was pure and without sin and due to love was in constant contact with His eternal Father ....

You humans will never be able to properly understand this mystery as long as you live on earth .... But God’s human manifestation in Jesus can only be explained such that God is love in His fundamental substance and that He completely permeated the man Jesus, thus everything in Him became love. And therefore love has accomplished the act of Salvation, because only love gave the external human form the necessary strength for its suffering, to endure until the end, until the most painful death on the cross .... And when the act of Salvation was accomplished the being, which had once been ‘created’ by God, also achieved Its highest perfection, it had deified Itself, It had completely become one with the Father, from Whom It had originated .... Jesus had become ‘God’ .... just as God had been ‘human’ in Jesus before, until the greatest act of mercy on earth had been accomplished ....

But now Jesus is and remains God, Who has become and Who will eternally remain a visible God for all created beings .... Anyone who does not acknowledge or declare this complete deification of Jesus’ becoming one with God, does not yet know the truth which originated from God, the eternal truth. Because time and again the Eternal Truth teaches people through His spirit of this greatest mystery, since it is necessary for people to recognise and acknowledge God Himself in Jesus, because the salvation of a human being will not take place until he .... as a formerly fallen original spirit who did not want to acknowledge God .... has acknowledged Him of his own accord and wants to return to Him .... And therefore any kind of teaching which portrays Jesus as a separate entity will be untrue, in spite of having the highest aspirations .... Because He is no longer outside of God, He is God Himself ....

The eternal Deity may not be personified, It is the greatest spirit of eternity Who permeates everything, but Who has chosen a form for Himself in order to be visible to His created beings .... And this form is Jesus, consequently Jesus is God, but not a second being which leads the people to God .... God’s adversary constantly tries to stop people receiving a bright light, and thus he especially tries to invalidate the act of Salvation and God’s human manifestation, he attempts to confuse the concepts because he wants to prevent God’s recognition and acknowledgment, which takes his followers from him .... And he will constantly strive to appear in the guise of an angel of light spreading deceitful teachings amongst people which, however, shall be corrected again and again by the Eternal Truth.

Jesus Christ’s act of Salvation and God’s human manifestation in Jesus cannot be explained to people often enough; but the person himself also has to be willing to receive the pure truth, then he need not fear of falling prey to error. He will recognise it as such, he will internally refuse to accept erroneous teachings and not believe those whom the adversary has gained as an instrument for himself but who can be recognised by everyone who wants to live in truth and therefore asks God Himself, as the eternal truth. There will be a lot of deception during the last period before the end, but God will know how to direct the outcome of it because He knows the hearts of those who are willing, who do not want to fall prey to the adversary’s doings .... and He will indeed guide them into truth ....

Amen

Process of apostasy .... Process of deification of the being ....

B.D. 8283 from September 26th 1962, taken from Book No. 87

To have left My flow of love also means to have deprived yourselves of all strength and light, for My flow of love is light and strength which will fill you again and again if you voluntarily open yourselves to My illumination of love .... Thus, due to your former rejection of My strength of love you consciously surrendered your perfection, your being, which emerged from Me in all perfection, reversed itself and took on completely opposite characteristics, it lost its perfection and all characteristics of a divine being .... It turned into the opposite and therefore could no longer dwell close to Me either, for it took on the characteristics of the one who became My antipole, who first reversed his nature and fell away from Me. He became My antipole, i.e., he wanted to take possession of the created beings, even though they had emerged from My strength which his will had used to create countless spiritual beings .... And thus they were also My share .... but once they have to decide for themselves to whom they want to belong, to Me or to My adversary. When they were still close to Me they were permeated by light and love and thus possessed immense strength. Yet the one whose will caused them to arise by using My strength brought about their apostasy from Me .... He presented himself to these beings as god and creator, and he determined them to follow him, whom they thus could behold, who shone in all beauty .... But as long as they were permeated by My strength of love they also recognized Me as the being from Whom they had emerged .... And yet, they turned to the other and rejected My illumination of love .... And this meant the loss of strength and light, and My adversary now had an easy game .... They followed him voluntarily and the beings fell into the abyss, they were no longer blissful as before when they received unlimited love from Me but they fell into a state of torment, they lost their freedom and became lightless and powerless beings which no longer recognized themselves .... They lost self-awareness, for what was once emanated from Me as strength, which had misused its light and freedom, could not remain inactive in the long run, because strength has to become effective according to the law of eternity .... Thus I reshaped the strength once emanated from Me as a being and let creations of a different kind arise which were destined for a serving function through My will .... Thus I assigned such a serving function to every work of creation, and the emanated strength now fulfilled its purpose ....

(9/26/1962) It became active but only ever according to My will. But I had once placed free beings outside which were to use their constantly flowing strength of love of their own free will without being determined to do so by Me, yet in the same will as Me, because this guaranteed the love of those beings as long as this love was meant for Me. Hence these beings had failed (and) got into a completely wrong state, yet through an extremely agonising path of development they once again became able, as I-conscious beings, to make My will their own .... and now to prove that they can use the unlimited influx of love again for their intended purpose .... thus first of all to shape itself again into the original being it originated from Me, in order to then be able to create and work with Me and next to Me again in free will, which, however, has now completely aligned itself with Mine, because love determines this will and right love is never directed against Me but longs for Me and union with Me. Power once emanated by Me cannot remain inactive forever, yet if it is used to work against Me I Myself will prevent its effectiveness .... And therefore I dissolved the once emanated perfect beings into small and smallest sparks of strength again which now work according to My will. But I also make sure that all these tiny sparks come together again and become the once created beings again, for only these beings have their self-awareness and free will again, but which I want to win over completely for Myself but will never force it to surrender to Me. For free will is the sign of divine origin, it is the characteristic of a divine created being which first guarantees supreme beatitude but which could also strive towards the deepest darkness without being prevented by Me .... (9/26/1962) For I knew that these beings which had fallen into the abyss could also reach the highest goal again, that they, who came forth as My 'creations' and fell away from Me, would one day return as My 'children', for which free will was the very prerequisite, thus My will once had to be switched off, which is now the case during earthly life as a human being .... Then the human being can freely strive for and achieve deification of his own accord if he fulfils the law of eternal order without any coercion, if he lives in love, i.e. if he now shapes himself into love, i.e. if he accepts his original nature again in which (as which) I had created him and he has now given proof of his divinity, that his will is the same as Mine and that he has now attained the perfection which makes him My child, which he will remain for all eternity ....

Amen

Promises relating to divine revelations ....

B.D. 8284 from September 26th 1962, taken from Book No. 87

I will reveal Myself to you .... This is My promise which even you, who would like to deny such revelations, cannot dispute .... But how can I reveal Myself to you if you don’t believe that My Word is the truth which I told you Myself when I lived on earth? I want to manifest Myself to you and My sole condition is that you love Me and keep My commandments .... Yet My promise means nothing to you or you would faithfully listen and expect My communication. You rely on the Scriptures, on the Book of Books, and yet don’t believe what is written in it. For it contains many more promises which announce My working through the spirit whereby I want to reveal Myself .... So how do you understand My Words ‘I will send you the Comforter ....’ and ‘I will remain with you always until the end of time ....’? How do you interpret the Words ‘From your loins shall flow rivers of living water ....’ and ‘I shall pour out My spirit upon all flesh ....’? Why do you refuse to believe that the Father keeps speaking to His children? Why do you restrict My activity to an extent that suits you? Consider that your intellect can cause a lot of harm if you exclude your heart, if you don’t allow your heart to speak, which truly teaches you otherwise .... You want to stop My living creations’ direct contact with Me, you want to deem it impossible for me to speak to My children Myself and yet I also said ‘My sheep know My voice ....’

Hence I must talk to them, and I do and will do so for all eternity .... For only what comes forth from My mouth is the pure truth, consequently you should also accept as truth what you call ‘My Word’, what is written in the Scriptures .... Time and again I must speak to you humans because you .... due to your imperfection .... repeatedly distort or misinterpret My pure Word .... Therefore you should first strive to awaken your spirit, endeavour to live by My Gospel of love which I taught on earth, and your thinking will become enlightened and clear, and you will ask Me to reveal Myself to you .... You will appeal to Me for evidence of My presence and truly .... you will receive it, for your faith will have become alive; you will establish a living contact with Me and what you earlier were unable to believe will then become completely self-evident, namely, that the eternal Father, your God and Creator, ‘reveals’ Himself to His living creations because he wants to be recognised and loved by them. This is why He manifests Himself, He ‘reveals’ Himself as a God of love, wisdom and might .... And if you humans genuinely want to come closer to this supremely perfect Being, He will grant you enlightened knowledge, so that you will no longer live in the spiritual darkness which was the result of your past apostasy from Me.

No matter how eagerly you study the Scriptures, how much you learn every letter by heart .... your intellect will only ever receive knowledge which is of little benefit for your soul .... Only an awakened spirit will find complete clarification, i.e. only shaping your nature into love, only the fulfilment of My divine commandments of love, will grant you clear realisation .... In that case, however, you will also correctly understand the Book of Books, that is, according to its spiritual meaning, whilst until then it will only remain correct knowledge of the letter, for only the spirit gives life to the letter .... If you humans really want to serve Me and carry out successful vineyard work you will first have to establish close contact with Me, your eternal Father, and only then will you become spiritually enlightened yourselves and also know that I reveal Myself to you, as I promised you, for My Word is truth and must come to pass .... And it will fulfil itself just as soon as the requirements are complied with .... as soon as you live a life of love and yearn for Me and My presence .... and then you will listen inwardly and no longer doubt the Father’s love, Who reveals Himself through His spirit ....

Amen

Purity of the divine spiritual good ....

B.D. 8285 from September 27th 1962, taken from Book No. 87

It is only rarely possible for pure truth to be conveyed to earth because prerequisites have to be met which require the human being's free will, for I can only express Myself through the spirit to a person who fully consciously accepts My announcements, who fully consciously opens his spiritual ear in order to hear My address. For My spirit addresses the spiritual spark in the human being and reveals itself to him as soon as he listens inwardly to My voice. This process could certainly take place in many people, for many are called .... but only a few are chosen, for I can only choose those who awaken the spirit within themselves to life .... who, through loving activity, shape themselves such that I can let My flow of spirit flow into a suitable vessel. These will then attain a living faith in Me as their God and creator through love, and they will also learn to believe that I want to and can express Myself to them, and now they will also consciously listen inwardly for My voice. And then they will also be convinced that everything I now say is complete truth .... because My spirit cannot err and because it is My spirit which now expresses itself .... many are called but few are chosen .... My calling must be awaited as soon as a person offers himself to Me for service .... But if this person calls himself, if he believes that he can force Me into a divestment through the spirit by opening himself to every spiritual influence in the assumption that I Myself speak through him, although the prerequisite .... a right life of love .... is not yet fulfilled, he must also reckon with being used or abused by forces which are not benevolent towards him and therefore are in the service of the one who is an enemy of truth .... You humans cannot always judge which spiritual forces approach you, but you can always be critical of yourselves and ask yourselves what prompts you to come forward with spiritual knowledge which you believe to have received by spiritual means. You must seriously examine yourselves and then you will also know yourselves whether you belong to the chosen ones whom I have called to serve in My vineyard. But you can also fear to have received spiritual knowledge which you cannot represent as pure truth .... But if I convey the pure truth to earth through an instrument chosen by Myself, this truth shall also remain pure, it shall not be mixed with questionable spiritual knowledge, with spiritual knowledge which allows contradictions to be recognized .... it should be protected from all contamination .... because it originated from a clear source…. thus no other waters shall be supplied to it of which you do not know whether they are pure and unadulterated, whether they possess the salvific value of the spring which was tapped by Me Myself .... The water of life which originated from Me shall remain pure and therefore all foreign spiritual substances shall be kept away from it, for only that which originates from Me has healing power for your soul .... And if I repeatedly instruct you to protect the water of life from all turbidity and contamination, this also means that it is good to keep My eternal truth .... My manifest gifts of grace, the divine revelations .... to be carefully guarded against foreign spiritual goods .... For what use is it if I convey the pure truth to earth and human by-products or results of immature spirit beings are added to this truth? All people should and can indeed come together at the source of the water of life, which I Myself have opened up, and then receive strength and fortification .... but nothing other than the pure water of life flowing from the source may ever be offered to the wanderer at the source. And therefore I can never approve of people presenting spiritual knowledge as equivalent which has not flowed forth from Me Myself and which can be recognized by the fact that it is not the same truth but deviates in its teachings from My word, which radiates from above to earth and should be recognized as My word. It shall certainly be spread, it shall be led everywhere where it is still dark .... Yet it will always spread bright light if it is kept pure; the light, however, will diminish immediately and the radiations will no longer be so penetrating if it is darkened by shadows .... which is to be understood as untrue spiritual knowledge which confuses the thoughts and excludes clarity of thought. And I will bless My servants who know how to prevent such confusion, who are concerned that pure truth is not interspersed with error .... And the servants I choose Myself for My work of salvation will also have the right feeling for how they should behave towards questionable spiritual knowledge .... and they will decide in My will, because they completely submit themselves to My will ....

Amen

Explanation for unusual process ....

B.D. 8286 from September 28th 1962, taken from Book No. 87

Without hesitation you can support the spiritual knowledge which comes to you from above, from the kingdom of light .... For people cannot overlook the way it is offered to you if they seriously examine it, and thus they have to admit a process which they cannot explain humanly either. The process of receiving messages of all-encompassing content cannot be described as particularly developed intellectual thinking .... And a force must be acknowledged which must have its origin in the spiritual world .... in the world which could not yet be explored by human beings because the human intellect is incapable of doing so .... but which nevertheless exists and about which information is given to the human being who allows My spirit to flow into him, which then also teaches him truthfully. And what is conveyed to you humans through the spirit will be easily understood by all who are of good will. And it will also not be able to be refuted, for spiritual knowledge cannot be proven but neither can it be proven wrong, it has to be believed, but it can also be believed if the spirit can work in the human being himself and gives him knowledge, a light, which gives him bright realization and no longer allows for inner doubt. But since knowledge cannot necessarily be given to a person, since conditions have to be fulfilled which ignite the spiritual spark in the human being, which first awaken the spirit to life, the truth of such messages will also be contested time and again, but this must not irritate you, My servants, or cause you to stop this work, for you will not find a substitute for the delicious gift of grace you receive as a sign of My greater than great love. What I send to you can no longer be surpassed, and human intellect will come to naught if it alone should solve such problems which are solved for you in the most understandable way through My spirit. Anyone who rejects the extensive knowledge is still in spiritual darkness himself, and no proof can be given to him that I Myself am at work in order to enlighten you humans, in order to free you humans from error and to offer you purest truth which you need in order to find the path to Me .... You humans should turn to Me of your own free will, and therefore no evidence of Myself may force you into this change of will .... And thus My obvious working must also leave the possibility open for every person to give you (himself) an earthly explanation for it, otherwise you would be forced to accept everything as truth .... Yet the willing person need only seriously think about it, however, on condition that he is interested in the pure truth. Then he will certainly give up his inner resistance .... Yet the desire for truth is rarely encountered, and this is the reason why humanity has lost its way so far in its thinking, why it lives in spiritual blindness, for it does not seek Me as the eternal truth, it is indifferent towards all spiritual knowledge and only gladly accepts what corresponds to its earthly desires .... A person who often lets his thoughts wander into the kingdom which is still closed to him .... A person who is not satisfied with what the earthly world offers him will already slowly establish contact with that kingdom, and the spiritual knowledge conveyed to him through you will also appear acceptable to him because his thinking will be clarified and the spiritual knowledge will give him inner satisfaction .... But anyone who rejects it is still too earthly-minded, and he is not very interested in spiritual truths, in explanations which human intellect alone cannot provide. And against the will the light of knowledge will shine to no man .... Yet it will shine brightly and make you happy for you who desire it, for only then will all correlations become clear to you, only then will you learn about your own earthly task, and you will also recognize the goal set for you and be able to consciously strive towards it. And therefore I will also bless every person who enables Me to let a true light shine to earth, who now carries it on and thus also enlightens his fellow human being on the path he should take in order to reach the goal .... the union with Myself .... with Me Myself. No human being on earth need walk in ignorance who desires a light which only I can kindle for him .... For I know the will and the thinking of every individual, and truly, he who desires will receive .... For as long as you humans walk in spiritual darkness you cannot be called blessed .... But I want you to be blessed .... And therefore I shine upon you and give you the evidence of My love, which you may receive in the form of My revelations and now the darkness has been broken through if you gratefully receive My gift of grace, if you believe what I proclaim to you and now consciously strive towards Me in order to be blissfully happy again, as you were in the beginning ....

Amen

1 Tessalonians 2, 13 .... (according to Luther)

B.D. 8287 from September 30th 1962, taken from Book No. 87

You are constantly given knowledge of God's working in the human being .... For the knowledge of this has been lost to humanity because people have distanced themselves so far from God that they cannot be permeated by His strength, i.e. that the effect of His flow of strength of love on the human being is curbed, if not prevented altogether. But the great distance is the result of unkindness, or also: Anyone who lives in love is connected to God and voluntarily opens himself to His illumination of love .... And receiving God's ray of love also means allowing God's working in the human being .... It means that the human being slowly returns to his original state where he was flooded with light and strength and stood in brightest realization .... However, knowledge, i.e. truthful knowledge, can only be attained from God Himself, the spirit from God that slumbers in the human being must be awakened, unite with the father-spirit from eternity and consciously strive towards this father-spirit ..... Then the divine flow of love flows unhindered into the human being who allows this radiation. But then one can no longer speak of spiritual intercourse with the spirit kingdom .... nor can there be any talk of receiving spiritual messages in a mediumistic state .... but the "working of God in man" must be openly and clearly acknowledged, which produces spiritual results that are above criticism .... Yet because you humans know nothing of the fact that you can establish such a heartfelt bond with God that He reveals Himself, you deny any divine influx, even though you have to admit that a power is at work which cannot be explained earthly when a spiritual thinking is imparted to you which was completely alien to you. You want to dismiss everything with the working of satanic forces and thus attribute more power to this satanic force than to the divine one, for you first doubt God's great love Who wants to save but not condemn .... And precisely this judgment betrays yourselves and your spirit, it betrays that you are still ignorant, otherwise you would be able to clearly differentiate between divine activity and satanic influence. The very fact that you lack this discernment also explains that God's adversary can often intervene in your thoughts because the right light has not yet been kindled in you .... For anyone who stands in the right light, who stands in the truth which originates from God Himself as the eternal truth, will not doubt for a moment that God reveals Himself to people because He wants them to reach their goal in earthly life .... because He wants them to take the path to Him from Whom they once originated, and because this path has to be illuminated, which can only ever be achieved by the truth. For truth is the light which shines brightly into the night, which breaks through the darkness of spirit in which humanity walks. Therefore, as long as you humans still spread misguided teachings as truth, the spirit in you cannot yet be awakened, and as long as you do not have the right to judge and describe a divine revelation as the work of the adversary, you should first seriously examine and remember all sayings of Jesus which you cannot dismiss as lies .... For Jesus Himself said: "I will reveal Myself to you ....“ „I will send you the comforter who will guide you into the truth ...." Anyone who acknowledges Jesus and His work of redemption must also acknowledge His gospel, which He taught on earth, as pure truth, which often enough points to the working of the spirit in the human being .... Anyone who acknowledges Jesus as God's son in Whom God Himself manifested Himself, so that Jesus and God are one and cannot be separated from each other, will know the truth and will always understand the 'working of God in the human being'. And then he will no longer want to associate this working with the working of the opposing forces which only ever spread error and often make use of people who initiate contact with the world of spirits and who themselves cannot yet demonstrate the preconditions which guarantee a direct approach to God .... Truly, you humans will be exposed to strong errors and you will only be able to carry out all tests with God's support. But then you will truly also be guided into right thinking and no longer be subject to error. For God is love, God is light .... He does not want people to walk in spiritual darkness, He wants to kindle a light for them Himself, He wants to convey the truth to them if they are willing to accept it .... He wants to reveal Himself to people, and thus He lets His ray of light of love fall to earth, into which every person can enter who desires to stand in the light himself. And anyone who has been taught by God Himself need truly not fear taking the wrong path, for God Himself guides him by the hand through earthly life so that he can also teach his fellow human beings as he himself was taught by Him, so that light will shine everywhere where deepest darkness still reigns ....

Amen

Constant attacks by the enemy .... Light bearers .... Reincarnation ....

B.D. 8288 from October 1st 1962, taken from Book No. 87

You should not be frightened when you are attacked by those who use My adversary to invalidate the pure truth which I convey to you from above. You will always be permeated by My strength and be able to resist all his attacks, for you work for Me and on My behalf. My power is truly so strong that I can push everything away from you, that I will not let the work of My love for you humans be endangered. It is certainly true that in the end time people will be offered much as alleged truth and that it will be difficult to find one's way through and to recognize what is right .... Yet it is never impossible because I always assure you of My support if you desire to know the truth. You will ask why I allow all this, why I don't prevent My adversary from exerting his influence on people who apparently also only want the best .... It concerns the human being's free will which My adversary seeks to win over for himself, and I have to grant him the right because his followers once followed him in free will and he has the same right to fight for the souls but the decision solely depends on the human being's will. Thus the adversary seeks to keep people in the darkness into which he had once plunged them .... He seeks to prevent everything that could give them a light in which they could recognize Me Myself and then turn to Me again of their own free will. But light is truth, thus he leaves no stone unturned in order to undermine the truth from Me, and he will always try his hand at the bearers of light, at My messengers, and want to extinguish the light .... And he uses the most shameful means to do so .... Yet he is completely powerless as soon as his activity is opposed by Jesus Christ's act of salvation, as soon as the divine redeemer Jesus Christ Himself is approached for protection from him. Then all his efforts are in vain .... Therefore one thing is necessary: that you know about the great significance of the act of salvation of the man Jesus, in Whose shell the 'eternal love' Himself was concealed. It is necessary to know about My incarnation in Jesus .... about Jesus' becoming one with Me, His God and father from eternity .... then he also knows about God's 'plan of salvation' .... He knows about the connection of everything created with Me, its creator, and he knows about the path of every fallen original spirit through the whole of creation and about the path of return to Me .... And anyone who knows all this also knows the further course of development after his earthly life in the kingdom on the other side and the endless possibilities to help a still unredeemed being that has entered the spiritual kingdom to redeem itself and also to walk the path of higher development .... He also knows that the being can still sink into the abyss and which means I use in order to once again open up the possibility for this repeatedly fallen being to pass the last test of will on earth .... by dissolving and banishing it again in the creations of earth .... To him it is understandable why all this has to be so if My law of eternal order is to be observed .... And whoever therefore stands in this knowledge will also reject all teaching which contradicts this plan of eternity .... which betrays all too human thinking which, influenced by My adversary, corresponds to their own desires .... For countless demons from the spirit world work on his behalf who try to transfer themselves and their thoughts to people who allow such activity in themselves. For you must never forget that it is only ever a matter of invalidating My 'working of love', and My eternal plan of salvation is based on love and designed by My wisdom, and it will be carried out in accordance with My eternal decision because I recognized the path by which the spiritual substance which has become apostate will find its way back to Me. I Myself descended to earth in order to accomplish the act of salvation for this fallen spiritual being, and redemption is assured to every being which recognizes and acknowledges Me in Jesus and asks for forgiveness of its guilt of sin .... And thus it is truly not necessary for people to atone for this guilt through repeated earthly life as a human being, for a thousand earthly lives would not suffice to get rid of the original guilt, for this guilt can only be redeemed through Jesus Christ Himself .... But the sins which the human being additionally commits in earthly life are simultaneously redeemed through His crucifixion .... Yet burdened with the smallest guilt, thus without Jesus Christ's forgiveness, no being, no human soul, can enter the kingdom of light. And for these souls, which thus pass over into the kingdom of the beyond burdened, the darkness in which they dwell is torment enough to cause them to change their will and thinking, to go into themselves and also accept the help of spiritual friends .... And now the soul can also still reach ascent. But to transfer a soul back to earth again in such a state would definitely mean no service for this soul, for it would be in the same darkness and would also not take a different path on earth than it had taken so far, because My adversary has retained the same power over this soul, from which it can never escape itself. The soul can only attain realization through love .... If it only feels a spark of love for its fellow suffering souls in the kingdom of the beyond, it will also inevitably ascend .... But if it remains devoid of all love it belongs to My adversary and he will never release the soul. And if it then goes through an exceedingly hard school of life it will nevertheless never be improved by it or attain anything other than evil thinking, for it first has to be released from the adversary's control, which again can only happen through Jesus Christ .... Only when He Himself enters a person's life is his redemption assured .... for which truly one earthly life can suffice .... And if it is therefore not enough, the human being or his soul alone will also have to answer for this and now also have to take upon himself the fate of darkness, which is so agonising and surpasses even the most difficult earthly walk in torment. In My plan of salvation from eternity all possibilities are foreseen which help a fallen soul to ascend. But My law of order will always be observed, and I truly don't need to resort to means which would remain unused, because even a return to an already overcome state would offer no guarantee for a soul's ascent and therefore can never be My will either, for free will remains untouched and the recollection cannot be given to a soul precisely because of its free will. The man Jesus died on the cross for its weakness, and He acquired for you the blessings of a strengthened will which you can all use during your earthly life and then your redemption is also assured .... You have to atone for your guilt on earth during one earthly life, then you will pass over into the kingdom of the beyond with relief and no longer resist the help of your spiritual friends there either .... which is why you often have to endure a difficult earthly life but through it you can attain a high degree of maturity and increased receptivity to light .... And again I tell you: Individual cases of the re-embodiment of a soul on earth have their special reason but will never take place if the redemption through Jesus Christ has not preceded it. And through this redemption all guilt is redeemed and thus need not be redeemed again in earthly life .... And every earthly life is determined by Me in wisdom and love .... even if you are unable to recognize it .... but I know what serves each individual soul for its perfection ....

Amen

God demands faith in His immense love ....

B.D. 8289 from October 2nd 1962, taken from Book No. 87

You have to have strong faith in My love in order to understand that whatever happens is beneficial for you and your soul and that you cannot go astray if you humbly accept whatever comes your way. Irrespective of how arduous it seems to you .... I know what you are capable of enduring and I will support you if you trustingly rely on My help. The assurance that you have all My love should let you take your earthly path fearlessly, for nothing can happen to anyone who feels secure in My love, no matter how much external pressure he is under .... For I know everything, I know the strength of your faith, and this alone determines the extent of your hardship.

The fact that you may know of this now, that I instruct you Myself and enlighten you about My nature which is love, wisdom and might, should already demonstrate My love, for I want to guide you into profound faith, because strength of faith will overcome everything. Then you will no longer be apprehensive, then you will always recognise your Father in Me, to Whom you can entrust yourselves like children and whose infinite love will do everything for His children in order to help them on their earthly path and to make them happy in eternity .... It is My love in which you have to believe .... For this love will not let you fall, and it directs and guides you and imposes an earthly fate on you which can result in your complete deliverance if only you want it. And this love died for you on the cross, with its sacrifice on the cross this love bought your freedom from the adversary who was entitled to you because you once followed him voluntarily .... A father's love, however, will not leave his child at the mercy of his enemy and adversary; rather, it will fight for this child and rescue it from his control .... Hence this great love is yours, and thus you also have the guarantee that one day you will be free from the power of the one who was responsible for your fall into the abyss ....

And now that you live as a human being on earth you shall also know that the Father's love follows His children and that you, too, belong to those whose freedom was bought by His love and that it wants to regain you, you shall know that you should also give your love to your eternal Father, so that He can already make you infinitely happy on earth and one day in eternity. If you therefore believe in My infinite love you will also lose all fear and apprehension, all weakness, because you will always know that nothing detrimental can happen to you, because a loving father protects his children from everything that could harm them. The certainty of possessing the Father's love makes you feel free and cheerful, for you entrust everything to Me and are in no doubt that He will help you in every adversity.

A person with such profound faith will, by virtue of this faith, also closely unite with Me and be able to work remarkably on his fellow human beings by providing them with the kind of help which otherwise would exceed human ability or strength, for in close unity with Me he will take My strength himself and thus work with Me and I through him .... For My love knows no limits, yet your faith often erects limitations itself when it is not strong enough .... And, again, the strength of faith is the result of a life of love, for only love leads to a living faith, that is, 'Whoever lives in love lives in Me, and I in him ....', and thus there cannot be any doubt in the person, he is aware of My presence and also knows that My love is limitless and bestows unlimited strength on the human being too, if he wants to use it for deeds of love again ....

Anyone who is able to believe in My infinite love has only achieved this because he lives a life of love himself, and he has also passed the last test of will on earth, he has consciously returned to his eternal Father, for he wants the Father's love which draws him to Itself. Nevertheless, I often have to let the human being experience severe affliction in earthly life so that he will look for Me, so that he will faithfully entrust himself to Me, request My help and in receiving My help also recognise My love. Only then will he give Me the love I demand, which unites the child with the Father again .... And then the earthly life will have brought him the success which was the purpose for his earthly path: that he voluntarily unites with Me again, from Whom he once voluntarily separated and became wretched .... But My love wants to prepare everlasting beatitude for him, and sooner or later it will achieve this objective ....

Amen

False Christs and prophets ....

B.D. 8290 from October 3rd 1962, taken from Book No. 87

When I lived on earth I warned you about false Christs and false prophets, for I knew how My adversary would work against Me and the truth from Me .... And now My warning will always apply to you, too, so that you will not fall prey to these false Christs and prophets .... However, when false Christs and prophets are spoken of then genuine ones will also have to exist, and therefore you humans cannot discard everything you are offered by Me when I reveal Myself through the words of true prophets because I consider it necessary that pure truth should be conveyed to you. And you cannot reject the said wrong spiritual information simultaneously with that which is genuine, for I will reveal Myself through people who possess all the requirements in order to be addressed by Me Myself until the end and who then, as My true servants, will carry out their mission by distributing the spiritual knowledge they received from Me Myself throughout the world. How else should the truth be conveyed to earth since I Am unable to audibly address humanity from above due to their freedom of will? You all have the right as well as the duty to scrutinise what is presented to you as truth, and you will also be capable of doing so if you appeal to Me Myself, as the Eternal Truth, for support .... And by merely being of good will you shall indeed also be able to distinguish the truth from error .... Besides, I Myself indicated to you that you will receive information about Jesus Christ and His act of Salvation .... And thus you can believe every spirit who provides you with this information. People should therefore not bypass Jesus Christ, they should learn to understand the act of Salvation and know what forms the basis of this act of Salvation and the fact that I embodied Myself in the man Jesus .... And since this knowledge is extremely necessary are people to reach their goal, I will also provide them with truthful explanations, which thus happens through the revelations which I Myself convey to earth by way of suitable instruments who are capable of receiving direct revelations .... But these revelations should never be put on an equal footing with messages from the spiritual kingdom which are psychically imparted to people .... You must learn to differentiate between 'God's working within the human being' through His spirit .... and a 'working of spirits' .... messages, which are conveyed to you humans and whose origin you cannot establish .... And anyone who seriously looks into this will be told by his heart who speaks to him .... But you must carry out a serious inspection before you form a judgment .... For you cannot portray Me Myself as a liar since during My life on earth I Myself have promised you the working of My spirit .... I Myself assured you that 'I will send you the comforter, the spirit of truth, which will guide you into all truth ....' `Whoever has My commands and obeys them, he is the one who will be loved by Me, and I will reveal Myself to him ....' 'You shall all be taught by God ....' 'He that believeth in Me, as the Scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water ....'

And if I consider it necessary that the truth shall be imparted to people because they walk along in spiritual darkness then you will really not be able to stop Me .... And I will enlighten you about all correlations, about My eternal plan of Salvation and the beginning and ultimate goal of everything in existence .... But I will also inform you about the many misguided teachings brought into the world by My adversary in order to keep people in spiritual darkness and which I will correct time and again .... for I have said 'Heaven and earth shall pass away: but My Word shall not pass away ....' And My Word can only ever be understood to be the pure truth .... However, since all spiritual knowledge coming forth from Me will always be distorted by imperfect human beings again, which I do not prevent due to their free will, I shall also take care that the truth will always be conveyed to people again .... I Myself spoke the Words 'My spirit will guide you into all truth ....' But I had brought you the truth .... Would the 'guidance into truth' have been necessary had I not foreseen that the truth would not remain pure?! .... And thus you can indeed give credence to the direct revelations from above if they come forth from Me, which you, in turn, can recognise by the fact that My human manifestation in Jesus Christ is mentioned time and again .... And then you will also know My Word 'Though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow ....' For this is why I sacrificed My life on the cross; this is why I took the most bitter suffering and agonies upon Myself because I wanted to redeem the guilt on your behalf, so that you will become free of it as soon as you acknowledge My act of Salvation and appeal to Me for forgiveness of your guilt .... Yet My eternal plan of Salvation is not based on human intellectual thought, on human logic, for I have infinite means at My disposal in order to accomplish the final goal, the return of all once fallen beings to Me .... I will never divert from My law of eternal order on which My plan of Salvation is based .... And had My act of Salvation in Jesus not been accomplished even a thousand lives on earth would not suffice in order to redeem or atone for the guilt .... And this is why I Myself descended to earth in order to deliver humanity from My adversary's control .... And anyone who does not lay claim to the blessings of the act of Salvation, whose earthly life will not result in deliverance from profound spiritual hardship .... anyone who does not accept the help offered to him in the spiritual kingdom either and allows himself to be led to Jesus Christ, will have to repeat the process through all creation, in which case you humans can rightfully speak of a re-incarnation on earth .... which will happen again sooner or later after an infinitely long period of time when the soul will once again have to pass its test of will as a human being on earth ....

For one thing is certain, that My righteousness also demands an atonement for every offence against Me but that I also know in which way this atonement can be rendered if the guilt of sin is not consciously carried under the cross ....

Re-incarnation or possession? ....

B.D. 8291 from October 4th 1962, taken from Book No. 87

You should not consider a case of possession as a soul's re-incarnation, as a return from the kingdom of the beyond for the purpose of a repeated life on earth as a human being. Immature spirits, that is, souls which have already lived in the flesh and departed in profound darkness, still remain in the proximity of earth .... The kingdom of light is closed to them, and thus they rage in the realm of the lowest spirits, which is wherever these spirits are congregating. They are unable to detach themselves from their places of activity on earth and influence people in every possible way but predominantly by trying to transfer their thoughts, their evil instincts and passions onto people whose character resembles their own nature. And these are easily influenced and willingly comply with their wishes by implementing what these spirits urge them to do .... This influence can often be noticed if people do not consciously free themselves and fight against their instincts by appealing to Me for help .... But if they are unbelievers they are easy game for these spiritual forces .... And they will rage consistently more and impel people into God-opposing actions .... which will become particularly noticeable in the last days ....

However, these are only ever mental influences; they are not cases of possession .... Yet these, too, will quite openly manifest themselves during the end time .... so that people will become so totally controlled and perform such acts of malice and all kinds of criminal activity that it will utterly confound their fellow human beings .... These people are unable to generate the necessary inner strength to resist, their will is completely weakened, and then evil spirits will succeed in taking complete possession of the body and rage in it, transferring all evil qualities to it and performing acts which they had done in their own life as human beings. They succeed in pushing the person's soul aside and impose their own will .... The evil spirit takes unlawful possession of a human body but it can also be expelled from it again at any time, if the soul itself or someone close to it is able to completely hand itself over to Me and appeal for My help .... Then I can and will command the demon to leave the physical shell .... Yet people's unbelief and heartlessness often prevent My intervention, and I also allow such possession-taking for the purpose of purifying the affected soul as well as its environment, just as it is possible that the evil spirit, once it has finished raging, will have a change of heart when it realises the devastating consequences of its ill will ....

For occasionally the human being will be held to account for his evil actions and has to take a long path of suffering, giving the demon no further possibility to incite the person into actions it would have done itself if it still lived on earth as a human being .... Then it will leave the body of its own accord and the actual soul will then readily accept its state of suffering even though it is entirely innocent, yet it will carry its punishment for the sake of its purification and can thereby mature faster than if it had lived a half-hearted life without any particular guilt. You always ought to understand the difference, that cases of possession are not re-incarnations of dark souls .... You ought to know that hell releases everything in the last days and that the prince of darkness incites his followers into extreme activity .... You ought to know that even these evil spirits can still save themselves from the fate of a new banishment if they want, for the day of reckoning will arrive soon, and every being will be held to account as to how it has used the time it was granted for its deliverance from the control of My adversary ....

Contact with the world of light or the world of immature spirits ....

B.D. 8292 from October 5th 1962, taken from Book No. 87

Again and again I have to point out that the spiritual world is in constant contact with people on this earth, that it is every light being's task to guide the people on earth towards the light and that they faithfully implement this task because they work according to My will and that they are only able to fulfil My will if they are enlightened themselves, hence, if they are permeated by My light. All redeemed spiritual beings participate in the redemption of the unredeemed, be they people on earth or the still unredeemed souls in the beyond .... For since they themselves are blissfully happy their love also wants to help the wretched to attain beatitude. And this motivates them to make contact with people on earth by influencing them mentally and by trying to guide them on the right path which leads back to the Father's house, to Me, from Whom they once voluntarily distanced themselves. However, the beings of light will not implement anything of their own accord which would not be according to My will, and thus their activity relating to people presupposes people's bond with Me, because only this testifies to the will that the human being will be positively minded and thus can receive help .... Once this heartfelt bond has been established with Me, no person need be afraid of falling prey to deceitful spirits, for his bond with Me protects him from this .... Then the beings of light will guide and advise him and also allow earthly events to approach him such that they will benefit his soul, for then they will always be active on My behalf according to My will. And people should indeed be satisfied with the fact that they are being guided and cared for by the spiritual world of light .... If, however, they try to establish a direct connection with these messengers of light in order to receive spiritual clarification, in order to increase their spiritual knowledge, they will always be advised by them to enter into closest contact with Me and to consciously appeal for and accept My Words .... Only if they united with Me and appealed for the transmission of truth will they be allowed to receive and also accept information from these said messengers of light, who are then working on My instructions again.

But then they will be addressed through My spirit .... hence they will not be able to hear the teachings or messages from the kingdom of light with their physical ears, but the eternal Father-Spirit will communicate with the spiritual spark in the human being, irrespective of whether it happens directly or through the messengers of light, which are merely My spiritual organs through which I work so as to be able to make them happy .....Then the spiritual ear will be able to hear and .... if it is My will .... these messages can be recorded .... The fact that this simple process of the 'working of My spirit in the human being' is no longer understood properly .... the fact that it is imitated and that people to this end avail themselves of the spirit world which is still in an unredeemed state in the kingdom of the beyond , is My adversary's activity who wants to prevent everything which might lead to the realisation of a God and Creator but which is essential in order to return to Me, in order to love Me and to submit to My will .... Contacts with this immature world of spirits can never lead to the light, nothing good can come from it, for they will only add to the error in the world, and therefore you humans must time and again be cautioned to hand yourselves over to these forces who misuse you and your will. Don't take detours but turn directly to Me, the Eternal Truth Itself, then you will not run the risk of being mislead. For you are unable to judge which spiritual beings approach you, but you can only be protected from their influence if you completely hand yourselves over to Me to lead and guide you, and then you will truly be well protected .... But don't deliberately hand yourselves over to spiritual forces which always surround you and which try to influence you in every way but which are of service to My adversary. It requires profound sincerity, a humble heart and a genuine desire for truth in order to be chosen for transmissions from the spiritual kingdom which originate from Me .... But then you can be certain that purest truth will be imparted to you, and then you can also pass it on again according to My will ....

Amen

Feeding the soul ....

B.D. 8293 from October 6th 1962, taken from Book No. 87

Whatever food and drink is offered to you for your souls will certainly not remain without effect; your soul will recover when it is ill, it will be strengthened when it is weak, and it will mature and reach perfection while still on earth. For truly My word is a bread from the heavens, it is a true wine that will strengthen you .... It is My word, My flesh and My blood, which I Myself offer to you, just as I offered it to My disciples on earth when I took supper with them .... For this supper was the symbol of what I commissioned My disciples to do: to pass on My word, which they had received from Me, to all hungering and thirsting souls .... Just as I satisfied them earthly, they were also to pass on spiritual food .... And they also understood Me, although the final knowledge was only given to them through the outpouring of the spirit on My disciples .... And thus you humans will only understand My working and acting and also the act of the lord's supper when My spirit can be poured out upon you, for before you only pay attention to the sense of the letter and you don't understand what I wanted to express through these words .... But you also have to awaken the spirit within you to life, for before you are still dead in spirit, and then you will not obey My will either, you will not listen to My word such that it will truly be food and drink for your soul .... For the word shall enter your heart, only then will I Myself be in you, and then you will eat My flesh in truth and drink My blood .... You draw the strength from My word which you need in order to mature while still on earth. And thus you will also recognize the urgency of your vineyard work, after all, it is a matter of conveying My word to people so that they establish the bond with Me themselves and My word can now also work in them. No human being's physical life would be able to exist if the body did not constantly receive nourishment, and the same applies to the soul which, although it cannot perish, is in a wretched state if it is not supplied with nourishment .... And yet, few people think of satisfying the soul's needs, although I have said: „Eat My flesh and drink My blood ...." I Myself am the word made flesh and I offer Myself to you, thus I also urge you to listen to My word and to obey it, for only when you are not only hearers but doers of My word will you experience the blessing of it .... Again and again I say to you: "Receive and eat, this is My flesh; receive and drink, this is My blood ...." and again and again I speak to you and only ask that you listen to Me, that you thus partake of the supper which I Myself have prepared for My guests who accept My invitation .... And if you have the will to be addressed by Me then you can also accept My word everywhere, for your will now also determines the spiritual knowledge which flows into your heart, because then I Myself will address everyone and he will only accept what he receives as My word .... Understand that the human being's own desire protects him from accepting misguided spiritual knowledge if you are offered it by preachers who are still unawakened and only preach according to form .... For I Myself will bless the listener and give him bright knowledge as soon as he desires the right nourishment for his soul. But if I Myself can address people then they will eat My flesh and drink My blood in truth, for then the word will sound to them from above through a servant chosen by Me who lets Me Myself speak through him, who receives purest truth from Me and can now also pass it on .... I invite everyone to take part in the supper which I Myself prepare for you, because I know what your souls need in order to mature and because I know every person's state of maturity. And if he now wants to receive the right bread of heaven, the water of life, from My hands, then it will also be given to him without restriction, and his soul will reach the goal and attain perfection ....

Amen

God's proof of love and presence ....

B.D. 8294 from October 8th 1962, taken from Book No. 87

All My love belongs to you, and this love causes Me to address you and to prove My presence to you. For you should know that you are not abandoned when you feel lonely or find yourselves in earthly adversity .... You should know that there is One Who watches over you, Who holds your fate in His hand, Who determines your earthly path and truly walks beside you as your faithful guide, Whose hand you only need to grasp in order to be able to walk safely and securely through earthly life until the end. If you have this certainty that you can entrust yourselves to Me at any time, then your earthly life will truly be easy for you, you will calmly and serenely let everything approach you because you feel safe under My protection, because you know that you are protected by My love. And then it will also be natural for you to strive to fulfil My will, that you will always do what your father, your friend and brother, submits to you, and you will first fulfil the commandments of love which are the epitome of My word .... For love is My and also your primal element, it is the principle of eternal order, it is the guarantee that you will live for eternity, for it is life itself, it is the strength which impels everything into life and bestows beatitude in abundance .... You will therefore love Me again, Who shows you My great love, and your love will take effect in works of unselfish neighbourly love .... And where love is, there is eternally no more death, there is only happiness and bliss. When the eternal love Itself reaches down to you in order to speak to you, you need never ever fear to get lost, for as soon as you hear My voice you will also be in contact with Me, and My adversary will have lost his power over you, and then there can only be a return to Me, a life which lasts forever. And through My address I only want you to learn to recognize Me and My nature, which is love .... Then you will also know that I will not let you fall, that I will use all means to win you, to release you from My adversary's control and to give you light and strength again, without which you are wretched. Therefore everything shall be done to inform people that their creator is a God of love, Who therefore gave life to people so that they attain this knowledge on this earth and enter into contact with Him .... I want to give people a small light because they are completely ignorant when they enter earth as a human being, and anyone who accepts the light will truly constantly increase his glow because My love reveals itself to him .... Since My fundamental nature is love, it is impossible for Me to drop a being which once emerged from Me and voluntarily distanced itself from Me .... My love will pursue it and try to break its resistance, however, not forcibly, but one day the being will no longer be able to resist My illumination of love, it will voluntarily hand itself over to Me and open itself to Me so that I can pour My light of love into the being when it lives on earth as a human being. People should only know that they have to acknowledge a God Who is love Himself. Then they cannot get lost because love awakens in them towards Me, Who is their constant benefactor. For this reason I also constantly need servants on earth who impart the knowledge to their fellow human beings .... whom I can impart it Myself beforehand and who reciprocate My love and are therefore also willing to serve Me, to receive My word and pass it on, so that all people can take notice of their God and creator, Whose nature is love, wisdom and might and Who also wants to bestow His love upon all people who are merely willing to accept it. For I also want to prepare an easy life for people, and this will be their share if they know that they can trust Me like a father Who will protect them in every adversity and danger .... that I will walk beside them as a friend and brother as soon as they merely adhere to Me and desire My guidance ....

Spiritual secrets ....

B.D. 8295 from October 9th 1962, taken from Book No. 87

It is difficult for a person to free himself from misguided teachings and opinions, and he must completely hand himself over to Me so that I can clarify his thoughts and free him from preconceived opinions. Then My adversary will have done a good job, he will have succeeded in spreading renewed darkness if the human being does not seriously demand to come to the pure truth. But even then he only seriously desires it when he is willing to surrender all previous knowledge. You humans have built yourselves an edifice of thoughts which does not fit into My eternal plan of salvation. And you often see that as My working which, however, is the adversary's working by believing that you are allowed to gain insight into spiritual secrets which, however, are in reality deluded to you by My adversary so that you lose all clarity of thought. And much such spiritual knowledge has penetrated people because they have united with a world without the necessary prerequisites which can only offer them darkness, because it is the kingdom of the prince of darkness itself. You should not desire to know what is naturally kept secret from you if only you would like to penetrate purely intellectually into areas which are still closed to you and will also remain closed until you yourselves have awakened your spirit through a life of love which guides you into truth. And a person who truly unites with Me and appeals to Me for protection from error, from wrong thinking, will certainly also receive the power of judgment from Me and not consider spiritual knowledge to be true which has flowed forth from My adversary .... But you cannot believe every person who wants to instruct you, instead, you first have to know the source of his spiritual knowledge which he imparts to you, for the human being's intellect can think up many things for which it cannot provide evidence. And as long as you only ever have to deal with intellectual results they should not burden you either, because you always have to tell yourselves that people can err .... But it is different when knowledge is made accessible to you which has demonstrably been conveyed to you humans through the working of My spirit .... Only then will you seriously deal with it by asking Me Myself for enlightenment of your spirit, so that you will carry out a proper examination and be able to recognize what is right. And you can believe that I Myself take care of every individual who seriously desires the truth. And the more willingly you free yourselves from already existing spiritual knowledge the more you will be pleased with the spiritual knowledge you receive from Me, be it directly or through My messengers. For I truly have no pleasure in you being spiritually darkened; I Myself want to bring you the light if only you want to accept it .... But if you desperately hold on to a wrong spiritual knowledge then My adversary will still have a point of attack, and he will not release you and time and again want to force his way into your thinking .... The pure truth is a gift from Me which will not be denied to any of you, which everyone can ask for and will also receive .... if only he humbly recognizes his own shortcomings and comes to Me, for I bestow My grace on the humble, and My word, which sounds from above, is a grace of inconceivable value .... And whoever avails himself of this gift of grace, no darkness will frighten him any more .... For then you will also be allowed to gain insight into My eternal plan of salvation, and My reign and activity will be recognizable and understandable to you, then you will truly recognize your God and creator Who wants to be your father and also gives you everything because you are His children and therefore He does not want you to go hungry. And thus He will also guide you into truth, as I Myself promised you when I lived on earth ....

Amen

Does God punish the children for the sins of the fathers? ....

B.D. 8296 from October 11th 1962, taken from Book No. 87

It is My will that you humans should live in truth because erroneous thoughts will obstruct your ascent, and because one misguided thought can result in many wrong thoughts. And hence you shall receive explanations too, providing you want these for the sake of the pure truth:

Although you are asked to believe in My justice, you should nevertheless not get a false impression of Me due to teachings which portray Me as a heartless God Who punishes unfairly .... And this false impression will come about as long as you do not understand the meaning of the words 'I will punish the sins of the fathers up to the fourth generation ....' It is not the case that I Am merciless and that children and grandchildren have to do penance for the sins of their fathers .... because every soul is responsible for itself and has to make

Amends for their own guilt while still on earth, as long as it does not accept salvation through Jesus Christ. Nor will children and grandchildren be held responsible for the sins of their fathers .... But it can be a natural consequence of certain sins which affects children and grandchildren .... so that weaknesses and disabilities of a physical and psychological nature occur which are caused by the fathers' sinful life. And this consequence is also visible to other people, hence the weaknesses and disabilities are now regarded as punishments on My part.

As long as the people who have become sinful are still alive, the awareness that they are to blame for their children's misery can be punishment for them too, they can, due to this awareness, now also make

Amends for their sins, i.e. render a just compensation for their guilt, but they can only find forgiveness when they take their guilt to the cross and ask Jesus Christ for forgiveness, for salvation .... But the equally 'punished' children are souls in their own right who have consciously accepted the difficult fate of their earthly life in order to achieve maturity sooner, because they are informed of this beforehand and can also refuse to accept this fate. It is always merely a matter of the souls' maturation. The physical existence as a human being is more or less irrelevant .... a difficult earthly life is far more likely to lead to perfection than a peaceful and enjoyable earthly existence ....

You people, however, still being ignorant, regard your lives as human beings too highly .... And you will always accuse Me of injustice when you are hard hit by fate, although it is based on My love for you .... The process of return offers many options but you rarely recognise them as such .... You only ever regard the conditions of adversity as heartlessness and injustice on My part, yet you do not recognise in them the opportunities to achieve complete maturity. Everything you do will be subject to law, naturally as well as spiritually. And thus every transgression will result in consequences which are sometimes obvious but occasionally not apparent, because an offence against My eternal order will always have a negative effect, because My justice alone will provide the human being with opportunities for compensation, so that he can make

Amends for his guilt while still on earth and need not enter the kingdom on the other side excessively burdened .... And even if he passes over unredeemed, if he has not yet found salvation through Jesus Christ, he can still be affected by the fate of those he cared about during his earthly life and feel remorse. And herewith he will have already taken a step forward because, although he will also be helpless in the kingdom on the other side due to his sinfulness, he will nevertheless try to help his loved one .... He has the will to do so and this is credited to him as love, and now he will be equally helped by the spiritual world .... Alternatively however, souls also consciously accept a difficult life in order to help those who facilitate their embodiment on earth and because they often notice the same inclinations and hence feel attached to them.

When they say that the sins of the father will be punished up to the fourth generation, this only means that serious offences against the eternal order result in naturally lawful consequences, which I, however, consent to because they in turn can enable other souls' ascent. It is up to a person's completely free will as to how he conducts himself in earthly life, just as it is the completely free will of the soul which embodies itself again.

When 'punishment' on My part is mentioned it is a misconception in as much that everything is only for the benefit of the soul, whatever is inflicted on it and whatever happens to it in its earthly life .... Because many a soul can only mature by way of suffering because it does not acquire a high degree of love of its own accord .... which subsequently would result in the decrease of suffering and make its fate on earth more endurable. However, as long as you always just want to see injustice on My part in regards to the destiny of long-suffering people you are merely displaying your lack of knowledge of My eternal plan of salvation; furthermore, you are unaware of My greater than great love for you, which only ever wants to save and will never condemn .... Compared to eternity time on earth is only brief, but during this extremely short period of time you humans have the opportunity to gather many treasures for eternity, you can make

Amends for much injustice and enter the kingdom of light, providing you find Jesus Christ and ask Him for forgiveness of your guilt ....

Amen

God's justice ....

B.D. 8297 from October 12th 1962, taken from Book No. 87

That My righteousness cannot be circumvented is irrefutable, otherwise I could not be called perfect .... Yet this justice was satisfied by the man Jesus, Who offered Me the most difficult sacrifice a human being has ever made and will ever make on earth, for He was completely sinless and took upon Himself the sins of the whole of humanity in order to atone for them. Thus He was not struck by the effects of His own sins but He voluntarily took upon Himself the concentrated burden of humanity's sins, He suffered unspeakably and died the most agonising death on the cross for love of humanity. You, who believe that people must and can atone for their guilt themselves, must bear this in mind, for no human being is capable of doing so, because every sin is an offence against love, against Me Myself, even if it is committed against the next person .... You humans can certainly also contribute your share by being offered the opportunity on earth to make amends for the wrong you have committed, and for this purpose you yourselves are plagued by evils of all kinds which are the consequences of your sinful way of life or actions and which therefore come upon you so that you yourselves will recognize the way you have transgressed against Me or against your neighbour. For you should come to realize your guilt in order to carry it to Jesus Christ under the cross, Who will only be able to remit your sins if you ask Him for it yourselves. And you should regard all disagreements, all strokes of fate which affect you, more as means of education, as means through which you should come to self-knowledge in order to voluntarily turn away from evil and, if possible, make amends, i.e. already make atonement on earth in order not to have to stay in extreme torment in the beyond until self-knowledge comes to you there. You will never be able to attain beatitude without Jesus Christ, precisely because only He can redeem your guilt, be it the original guilt of your past apostasy from God or the sins committed in earthly life, for you must also appeal to Jesus Christ for forgiveness for these, for you cannot redeem the guilt yourselves, no matter how much suffering you have to endure on earth or in the kingdom of the beyond .... You must find your way to Jesus Christ, you must take the path to Him so that the gates into the kingdom of light will be opened to you. The fact that time and again the effects of guilt will rebound on you humans is divine law, but it will not redeem you from this guilt, no matter how much you have to suffer, instead, the latter will only ever have an educational value, so that one day you will take the path to the cross .... to Jesus, Who alone atoned for all guilt through His act of salvation. You should always bear in mind that every person creates the state he finds himself in, that his wretchedness, his difficult situation in life, was caused by the soul's own free will .... The fact that it is in extreme remoteness from God due to its guilt of sin, for which it is responsible itself .... must also result in an unhappy state which, however, it can change itself, which again has to be done by its free will. Now in the last days many souls are embodied as human beings whose degree of maturity is very low but the time has expired which was set for their release from the form and now also this immaturity of the souls often comes to light through God-opposing actions .... and thus people's sinfulness is also unusually great, which also requires difficult living conditions and purification opportunities of various kinds which are inexplicable to the spiritually unawakened human being and make them doubt My love and justice or lead them to the erroneous assumption that immature souls have been transferred back to earth .... Yet these are incarnations of souls which have passed through the earthly creation and have not attained a high degree of maturity but which nevertheless can free themselves from every form in earthly life because they need only take refuge in Jesus, Who will help them in every weakness, Who can strengthen their will if it only turns to Him .... Yet those souls will also be left free in their will and thinking, but the best means of education will be used by Me in order to still win them before the end. The fact that they will now also be unusually harassed by the prince of darkness and his followers cannot be denied, yet I will also obviously stand in their way but it has to be left up to them which lord they choose. And their state will also be accordingly when the end has come .... They will attain life or fall prey to death again for a long time ....

Amen

"You shall have no foreign gods beside Me .... "

B.D. 8298 from October 14th 1962, taken from Book No. 87

You shall have no gods beside Me .... These words are very meaningful because everything you strive for in earthly life can mean more to you than I, your God and father from eternity, as well as your heart is attached to earthly goods and therefore you seek no bond with Me .... Then what you desire with all your senses is your God .... And even if you still accept Me by acknowledging a power above you, Which created you, you still have foreign gods next to Me .... always according to the desire which arises from your heart. Be it earthly goods, the desire for honour and fame or even people who displace Me from your heart, it is always foreign gods which prevent your ascent upwards, for all these gods are transient, you have to sacrifice them, when your earthly life is over, and one day you will enter the kingdom of the beyond empty-handed if you don't put Me Myself first, Who, after all, wants to be your only goal in earthly life and Whom you must strive for with all your strength if you want to become blessed .... I am your God and creator, from Whom you once originated, and I want you to recognize and acknowledge Me .... And you shall give Me the evidence of this by being willing to give up everything if you exchange Me Myself and My love for it. Then I am truly the one God for you, to Whom you should feel that you belong and Who wants to be united with you as your father for time and eternity. But now consider your life on earth, which only seems worth living to you if you possess everything your heart desires .... So you have created many gods for yourselves which you place next to Me .... provided that you believe in Me as your creator. But this faith is worthless as long as you don't seriously strive towards Me .... but the world and your desire for it holds you back. Your love belongs to many things which, however, are My adversary's share, and you should overcome the desire for them so that I Myself will now be placed in the foreground of your thinking and you will drop all other gods .... But you also create gods for yourselves besides Me if you call upon beings in the spiritual kingdom in the belief that you will reach the goal, eternal bliss, through their intercession .... Even then your attitude towards Me is not yet right, because in earthly life it is a matter of establishing the bond with Me which you once voluntarily broke off .... And you have to accomplish this act of voluntary and conscious return to Me yourselves, and no intercessor would be able to achieve this through his intercession .... They will only ever mentally show you the path to Me Myself, which you irrevocably have to take in order to become blissfully happy. For you should know that the love of those beings of light is so great that they would like to bring you back to Me if My law of eternal order were not also anchored in them, that they themselves do not force a person to want and think on earth .... But according to the law of order I demand from eternity that every soul voluntarily takes the path to Me, and therefore I want to be and remain their God, for Whom they are willing to sacrifice everything. I want to completely possess your hearts because I want to fill them with My love .... But as long as a heart is not yet free from desires and cravings of all kinds, this heart therefore still has foreign gods within it, which prevent Me from entering and reigning in it alone .... Yet if I fully possess a soul this means that I can now also prepare the highest happiness for it, and truly, it will not regret having given up the other goods in order to exchange Me for them, but now I am the sole ruler in the human being's heart and nothing can undo the intimate bond between us. Therefore, seriously examine yourselves as to whether you are still filled with desire for things which mean more to you than I Myself, be they material things or people, and seek to dethrone them so that the first place remains for Me .... seek to stifle all earthly desire within yourselves and free yourselves from all idolatry, which includes all love for the world, for then you will truly only serve My adversary, the prince of darkness, to whom this world belongs, and thus he is your god to whom all sacrifices you offer are meant. Mammon will then be your god, and this god will crush you, for he does not belong to My kingdom where I alone reign in love and wisdom .... And those who want to belong to Me shall worship Me alone, i.e. only carry Me in their heart, and I will not only be their God and creator but also their father to them ....

Amen

Statement on dream state ....

B.D. 8299 from October 15th 1962, taken from Book No. 87

I truly also want to let you gain an insight into the processes that take place in the human body which you cannot explain to yourselves: it is the dream state which causes you to ask how it can be explained .... In the state of sleep it is mainly the organs that are inactive, the human being is without consciousness, i.e., his intellect does not work as it does in the waking state ..... Nevertheless, thoughts lie hidden in the subconsciousness which now unfold and ascend but which do not reveal any order but push their way in confused confusion to the brain and from there seek to communicate themselves to the soul, which is not asleep but is also in contact with the organs of thought so that they can also be awakened and stimulated by the soul at any time to the usual activity .... that the soul therefore determines sleep and also wakefulness .... Since the thinking organs in the state of sleep are therefore not subject to the soul's control, the strangest images and events can take place in the brain, which people perceive as confused and incomprehensible, but which can also be clear .... The human being usually does not take these results from the subconscious, i.e. experiences of the soul in past times, which can also reach into the time of its pre-embodiment in the state of compulsion, over into the waking state, but sometimes they stick and the human being knows about these dreams, he can reproduce them and only wonders about the often impossible connections .... Under subconsciousness it is to be understood that the soul as such also takes in impressions during earthly life which were not passed on to the intellect, thus the human being knows nothing about them or experiences have long since sunk but are still present as impressions in the brain and now rise up in sleep .... Thus knowledge of processes can slumber in the soul which comes to the surface in the dream state, which touch the thinking organs in distorted images because the state of sleep does not allow for proper thinking activity, but they are claimed by the soul, otherwise the human being does not allow for any recollection in the awake state .... which, however, is sometimes also the case when it concerns processes which the soul does not want to make known to the human being. But if it concerns real dreams of truth the soul, in its ability as a spiritual being, foresees things which concern the human being, and it also passes them on to the thinking organs in the clearest way, stimulating their activity to such an extent that they are able to reproduce such dreams, whereby the human being also has the feeling that such dreams are more than the usual dreams, that they have their significance and are to be heeded as a warning of the soul or indications of forthcoming events ..... The soul is the spiritual in the human being, which .... according to its maturity .... is not bound in its freedom of movement, the soul can dwell in spheres where it receives new impressions which it is not always able to explain to itself because it lacks the necessary maturity .... And these impressions can also be explained by the term 'subconscious', which uncontrollably rise from the soul and become conscious to the intellect, but only in states where the intellect is not wide awake .... i.e. in dreams or in states of stupor, where the human being then expresses what is incomprehensible to his fellow human beings .... When sleep is dreamless then all organs are in deep rest, and then the sleep is also invigorating, and even then the soul dwells in other spheres it nevertheless keeps all impressions to itself, it gives no knowledge of them to the thinking organs .... But as soon as the human being awakens, contact is also established with all human organs which it now stimulates into activity, which are determined by the soul, for all thinking, feeling and willing are expressions of the soul, because the organs would in themselves be without life if the soul did not animate the human being. And this explanation should suffice for you, even though the dream state could still be explained far more exhaustively, yet your receptiveness must always be reckoned with as long as you are not yet able to gain insight into spiritual spheres yourselves, which will still reveal much to you when you are allowed to dwell in them yourselves ....

The mystery of love ....

B.D. 8300 from October 16th 1962, taken from Book No. 87

When you will dwell in spiritual realms where you will be permeated by the divine light of love, then even the smallest shadow will disappear from you and you will be immeasurably blissful due to the endless love and grace of God, your father from eternity .... Then His work will have succeeded completely, out of His creatures .... from the works of His love and power .... children who are now true images of Himself .... And only then will you be able to comprehend the love and patience this work demanded from His side, because His creations were endowed with free will and were also able to use it in every direction .... And now you will give Him your unlimited love, because bright recognition is a prerequisite for a return of love from you, because before you are simply incapable of showing love to your God and father which is so profound and holy that it includes all beatitude within itself. And only then will you have penetrated the mystery of love yourselves, you will know that it is the elementary power which let everything come into being ..... For you have now become love yourselves and thus also eternally merged with God, Who Himself is love, thus also the original source of all strength .... One day God will reach this goal, one day you yourselves will have become what He could not create but had to strive for in free will by His created works, which were radiated out as beings into infinity .... As free, radiant beings they return to Him again in order to eternally no longer separate from Him .... And when you walk the earth as a human being then the last phase of your transformation into a 'child of God' begins .... if your free will allows it, if it does not put itself on the defensive against God again and then the goal on earth cannot be reached either .... Yet anyone who beholds Him and His love in earthly life will also be seized and drawn by His immeasurable love, he will also feel touched and no longer offer any resistance .... And as soon as His love can have an effect on him, because the resistance is broken, the ascent will certainly have begun and the human being will still reach his goal on earth. He enters into intimate union with eternal love and can now no longer sink back to the abyss .... Only He Who is the eternal Itself, to Whom nothing is hidden, Who can look into the heart, Who knows about all feelings in the human being and can also judge what is impossible for a human being to judge .... And upon his entry into the kingdom of the beyond this degree of love is decisive for the degree of light penetration and thus also of bliss .... But the human being on earth lacks this ability to judge, for he will never be able to look into the heart unless he himself is already illuminated to such an extent that he is able to see spiritually. But then he also knows that his spiritual insights are only of value to himself, that he cannot transfer them to his fellow human being who has not yet attained this spiritual maturity. God's love is so infinitely profound that it takes care of every individual and lets the light of love shine to him if only he is willing and opens himself voluntarily, i.e. if he consciously enters into contact with Him, consciously endeavours to fulfil God's will and strives for light ..... For then he will also live according to God's will, Who now places His will into his heart. And then his degree of love will also constantly increase because he receives the light of love from God with every conscious bond with Him. When he then enters the kingdom of the beyond, his soul will consciously experience this radiance of love and be immeasurably happy. In earthly life, however, the process of the radiation of love on God's part is evident in no other way than through the hearing of His speech, which is now proof of God's presence and His working .... The body as such will not feel any unusual touch, and the soul will certainly be allowed to receive and be illuminated but will not make it known to the body, so that a person's degree of love will not be outwardly recognizable either, but God Himself, Who knows everything and to Whom even the most hidden things are revealed, will .... However, if the soul discards the body then it will radiate in brightest brilliance and there will no longer be any barriers for it, it will be blissfully happy in freedom and light and strength, it will live for eternity ....

Bringing the small flock together ....

B.D. 8301 from October 17th 1962, taken from Book No. 87

There are only ever a few who serve Me wholeheartedly and these shall unite in intimate fellowship, for they belong to the small flock which I will fetch in the end in order to bring them to the new earth when the time has come .... Where My spirit is obviously active there are the followers of My church, the church which I Myself founded on earth, who are devoted to Me in firm faith and love and who thus form the foundations of My church .... But the characteristic of this church is the working of My spirit, the spirit which introduces you to all truth. The earth is large and everywhere I need supports, everywhere I need strong rocks on which I can build My church .... A profound faith, which comes forth from love, must be found there, then I Myself can be with My own in spirit and administer to them the bread of heaven, the water of life .... And since people urgently need it I will also open up a source everywhere from which the earthly pilgrims can draw strength, from which they can draw what they need for their path of life .... And only pure truth will ever be sent to them from Me as soon as it is seriously desired. Hence the spiritual knowledge which has originated from Me must also correspond, and by this you will be able to recognize whether you are also at the right source which My love has made accessible to people. And you must not contaminate this water of life flowing to you from Me, otherwise it will lose strength and effect and no longer possess the healing power for the souls with which I Myself have blessed My word. But My word will have an extremely beneficial effect where it is eagerly received, where it is recognized as the father's loving address, where it is spread by My servants whom I have chosen for this work in My vineyard. You don't know My ways but they are often so strange, and people are brought together through My will who are of one heart and one mind and who belong to Me completely, so that I can also work through them directly. For whatever is possible shall still be done until the end in order to save souls from darkness, and this can only be accomplished by the light from above which illuminates the path people have to take in order to reach the goal ..... I only need the complete devotion of those who want to serve Me in order to now also be able to work in them and through them .... Then lights will be kindled which will shine far into the night, and then My presence will be so obvious that every doubt about a divine working will vanish and also be recognized and known before the whole world. My strength will become powerful in the weak and My working will be obvious .... For I know how to guide the hearts so that they will find each other, I hold all threads in My hand, and when the time has come you will also receive the knowledge about your task, which is My will to carry out. Everyone shall do what is possible for him in order to serve Me, and I will bless his work in such a way that time and again you will recognize My greater than great love for you and therefore also give Me your love, which I long for .... You are still scattered and each one works for himself, but one day My small flock will come together and you will work together, as it is My will .... Then it will also recognize itself as belonging to Me and together take up the fight against My adversary, who will do everything to drive the flock apart, to deprive it of its shepherd and take for himself what threatens to escape from him .... Yet he will not succeed, for My flock remains faithful to Me, it constantly receives the strength to hold together and resist, and he will have to give up his fight, for he will be defeated by My strength. And I will appear in greatest adversity. And this coming of Mine is imminent, and this assurance shall comfort all who feel weak, for I Myself will strengthen them that they will persevere until the end ....

God's unlimited love and its power ....

B.D. 8302 from October 18th 1962, taken from Book No. 87

I look after all My living creations with untiring love and patience and take all their weaknesses into account, helping them to reach the height again from which they plunged into the abyss of their own free will. Time and again My love follows them when they turn away from Me, and time and again I send them My messengers of light who participate in the return of all fallen spirits and are active in My will. But only when My living creations learn to recognize My love will they give up their resistance, only then will they allow themselves to be drawn upwards without offering resistance, and then the return to Me, from Whom they once distanced themselves because they followed another whom they could behold and who was radiant in beauty, will be initiated. The return to Me, however, only takes place when they follow One Who bore all disgrace and suffering on earth, Who walked the path to the cross unsightly and disgraced, Who atoned for the grave guilt of sin of your past apostasy from Me with the most bitter torments and the most shameful death on the cross, Whose love for His fallen brethren was so great that He thus took Me Himself, as the 'eternal love', into Himself .... and thus love Itself took pity on you, Which always and forever applies to you, who once came forth from My love. Love created you, love redeemed you from the captivity of the enemy, and this love will apply to you for all eternity. Yet you humans do not understand this, for you are imperfect, thus of limited thinking, and you would not be able to endure the strength of My love if I did not restrict it according to your degree of perfection. You would perish if I wanted to shine upon you in all fullness of strength and light .... But this love belongs to you and therefore you can also request it, and you will never make a wrong request if you only desire My love. But the fact that you don't use the strength of My love, which is at your unlimited disposal, is again due to your imperfection, for you are still without realization to a certain extent as long as you don't develop love within yourselves .... You must not deny the entrance into your heart to the love which constantly wants to shine upon you, you must voluntarily open your heart to Me and ask Me to fill it with My love .... And truly, you yourselves will glow with hot love and turn your love towards everything that surrounds you .... And then you will unite with Me Myself through love, and you will be able to work with Me and My strength and help wherever your help is needed. You should only believe in My infinite love for you, which you may receive without limitation because I will not deny Myself to anyone who desires My love .... But love only wants your bliss, it wants to give itself away, to make you happy, it only ever wants to give .... and what it wants to give you is light, strength and freedom .... the state which was your share in the beginning when you emerged from Me as perfect creatures .... You should reach this state again because it was a state of bliss where My love could radiate (flow) through you unhindered, where you could create and work for your own happiness. The fact that you voluntarily gave up this blissful state and fell into the abyss did not diminish My love for you but allowed Me Myself to constantly court your love, and I find My highest bliss in the voluntary return of My living creations as My children, for My love is unlimited and will therefore not cease and one day also accomplish the work of deifying My living creations, which was the last goal of My work of creation. But for you humans love will remain a mystery until you yourselves will dwell in the kingdom of light, glowing with love, where the darkness which still overshadows you in earthly life has fallen away, even though you are devoted to Me and strive towards Me. For as long as I can only give you My love in a limited way in order not to endanger your existence, you will not understand My infinitely profound love either, which is My fundamental nature and which can never pass away. Yet My assurance that this love of Mine belongs to you should make you happy and only ever strive to ascend, you should only ever seek unification with Me, which can only take place again if you kindle the love within yourselves and let it flare up into a bright flame. But then you will also be close to the goal, and your departure from this earth will be a blissful one, because you will only discard the heavy body and enter the realms of eternal light and eternal peace .... because then you will be united with Me and will remain so for all eternity ....

Amen

The act of Salvation and its spiritual reason ....

B.D. 8303 from October 19th 1962, taken from Book No. 87

Time and again explanations are given to you about the mission of the man Jesus on earth, especially since you received such inadequate information by those who deem themselves chosen to educate you but who did not penetrate into more profound knowledge themselves .... and are therefore not enlightened enough about the act of Salvation and its spiritual reason as to be capable of teaching their fellow human beings. And so people have never properly understood it and consequently don't know what immense significance the act of Salvation has for the whole of humanity .... They don't know that the entire purpose of earthly life will remain unfulfilled unless they take the path to the cross, to the divine Redeemer Jesus Christ. People are not aware of the fact that their existence as a human being on this earth was caused by the enormous original sin of the spirits' past apostasy from God .... that the whole earth as well as all creations in the universe were only the result of this original sin, and that the sole purpose of these creations rests in guiding the fallen spirits back to God again .... For disintegrated in countless minute particles they pass through the creations and thereby gradually travel the path towards God .... This is indeed an unspeakably agonising state for the spiritual being during its path of return, for it is not free and helpless, and although the dissolved spiritual beings are deprived of their sense of self-awareness the spiritual substance nevertheless feels the agonies of banishment in the works of creation, since prior to its apostasy from God it existed in complete freedom and any constraint is a state of torment for the spiritual being. However, the immense agonies of banishment in the form .... be they in the mineral and plant or the animal-world which it has to pass through .... . do not suffice to redeem this very guilt the spiritual beings had burdened upon themselves due to their rebellion against God, for the beings had been incredibly brightly enlightened, they knew about their origin and were constantly permeated by God's love Who thereby provided them with unimaginable bliss. And despite being conscious of their origin they rejected this strength of love and thereby became subject to darkness .... Hence this immense original sin could not be redeemed even with the greatest amount of pain in the banished state .... And therefore the fallen beings would eternally have been denied entry into the kingdom of light if the redemption of guilt had not been undertaken by a Being of light Which offered to achieve the act of atonement for love of the fallen brothers ....

This Being of light .... a non-fallen original spirit, Which had embodied Itself on earth in the human being Jesus .... wanted to achieve a unique act of compassion, for It descended from the light into the dark spheres of the spirits which had become sinful, It descended into the realm of God's adversary, of the first-fallen original spirit Lucifer, who kept his followers in bondage and demanded an extortionate purchase price for every single soul .... And this purchase price was paid by the human being Jesus by means of His act of Salvation, by means of an immeasurable process of suffering and torments which came to an end with His death on the cross .... Thus He redeemed the great original sin of the once fallen spirits as well as all people's sin of guilt on earth, which had been the consequences of their affiliation to God's opponent .... He accomplished a unique act of mercy and was only able to carry it out because He was full of love, because as a human being on earth He had shaped Himself such that the eternal Deity .... Love Itself .... was able to take abode in Him, so that It utterly permeated Him with strength of love and this Love subsequently also made the sacrifice .... which now has to be voluntarily accepted by every person in order to liberate himself from the adversary's control .... For the human being is the spiritual being which is returning to God through the works of creation, whose individual minute particles had gathered again and were allowed to embody themselves as soul within a human being, in order to then consciously travel the last distance of the path of return and also consciously accept Jesus Christ's help, as without it his effort to ascend will remain unsuccessful. No human being can and may avoid Jesus Christ, for there will be no liberation from the control of God's adversary without Him, Who conquered the adversary through His death on the cross and now wrests every soul from him which voluntarily takes the path to the cross, which prays to Jesus for forgiveness of its guilt and for help in order to return to the Father again. This knowledge about the significance of the act of Salvation must be conveyed to people, only then will they turn to Him of their own free will and with His help also reach their goal, they will return to their Father's house, to their God and Creator and then remain with Him forever ....

Amen

Destruction of Earth ....

B.D. 8304 from October 20th 1962, taken from Book No. 87

One thing is certain, My Word is and will remain truth and you humans need not doubt that which has originated from Me. Since the time is constantly coming closer which concludes one period of Salvation so that a new one can begin, the clarifications will also be given to you increasingly less veiled, and shortly before the end I will initiate you into My eternal plan of Salvation and inform you about things which have so far remained concealed to you because this knowledge was not necessary for the salvation of your souls. But now the time has come when My plan of Salvation will be implemented as far as it concerns the transformation of earth, which has become unsuitable as a place of education for the spiritual beings and which therefore has to be restored so that it will be able to fulfil its purpose again. You must bear in mind that My love also applies to the spiritual substance which is still bound in the works of creation and that I also want to give new forms to this spiritual substance in order to facilitate its higher development. For these bound spirits have already languished for an infinitely long time in the hard matter which makes up the earth, i.e. all creations on it .... And this hard matter as well as the bound spirits within the earth must one day be dissolved, respectively released, so as to be able to enter new forms, and therefore the work of destruction will be on a humanly incomprehensible scale; consequently a total disintegration of all earthly creations can be spoken of, although it should be borne in mind that the material building blocks will remain but effectively unconstrained until I shape them into forms again to serve the spirits as a cover once more .... Thus the creation work Earth will not cease to exist, because all that which was dissolved shall be held and shaped into new forms again by My will, on account of which one can speak of a new earth .... Concluding this period of Salvation is an act of greatest mercy for all spiritual beings on earth and those bound in the works of creation, which signifies a complete transformation but not the disappearance of the planet Earth ....

However, this transformation will only be recognisable on the earth's surface, because people would be unable to detect or follow the process of the inner change even if they were able to consciously observe the transformation. But the latter will not be the case, for it will be the work of an instant, because all the conditions already exist to animate the new creations with the spiritual substance which has reached the appropriate degree of maturity; for all these tiny particles are present and need only be placed into external forms again which are beneficial for them. All the same, you humans cannot possibly imagine this final work of destruction, although you yourselves give rise to it through your anti-divine experiments to penetrate the earth's interior in order to avail yourself of forces which you cannot control as yet and whose ramifications you don't know .... But neither will I stop you since the time I designated for the past period of Salvation has also come to an end .... Yet time and again I emphasise the fact that I will leave nothing in the old state and that no living being will survive, and that I will also give the still constrained spirits their temporary freedom, which therefore implies that even the hardest matter must one day release the spiritual substance and for this purpose has to be dissolved too, in order to harden anew and to shelter spirits again, as is My will .... Since matter itself is only spiritual substance at the start of its development it can therefore not cease to exist either, and therefore the creation work 'Earth' will not vanish but only be transformed, and you can believe these Words even if the whole process of the end of the old earth is still incomprehensible for you .... However, everything is possible for Me and everything is based on My infinite love .... If you therefore only regard My work of destruction as an act of cruelty on My part you are still far removed from the right realisation .... Yet you only ever want to see humanity's destiny and fail to take the spirits bound in hard matter into account for whom the moment of liberation from their present form also has to come one day, so that their higher development can also take place according to My plan of eternity .... And because this end is constantly coming closer I Am informing you of My plan of Salvation, so that you will not belong to those who forfeit the blessings of existing as a human being on earth and run the risk of being banished into the creations again .... And I truly instruct you in all truth yet it will only be accepted by the person who wants to know the truth and has the sincere will to reach his goal on this earth ....

Amen

The Father's evidence of grace during the last days ....

B.D. 8305 from October 21st 1962, taken from Book No. 87

You shall not lack the evidence of grace during last days before the end, for you will need it in order to become and to stay strong and to stand firm against the adversary's onslaughts. But I, too, will also reveal Myself equally obviously to you and you need only pay attention to your daily course of life in order to always feel My presence. For I want to prove to you that I know all your problems and afflictions and look after you. Admittedly, some suffering cannot be spared to you because I want you to conclude your life on earth with the highest possible maturity of soul, and it will only last for a short time, then all suffering will be over and you will gratefully remember what you had to live through .... because you will see the success your suffering will have gained you. Nevertheless I Am close to you and will look after you and lead you through everything destiny still has in store for you. It is only important that your faith becomes stronger, because then you will be able to achieve everything and need not be afraid of failing. Time and again I will speak to you, explain to you everything you need to know. I will reveal My nature to you so that you will trustingly confess all your problems to Me and appeal to Me directly for help, which I will certainly grant you. And no matter what approaches you each day, time and again you shall recognise My guidance in it, you should know that I Myself direct and guide everything and that no event approaches you arbitrarily, instead, everything is intended by My love and wisdom so that it will be a blessing for you and your fellow human beings. Those of you who have to achieve an obvious task on earth .... those of you who consciously serve Me of your own free will .... are under My particular protection and truly need not worry, for I will look after you, and I will help you to complete your task, for I know how necessary it is and how much benefit can still arise from it .... Therefore, place yourselves trustingly into My hands, for who could possibly take better care of you than a Father Who loves His children and only wants what is best for them? .... Just always be willing to let Me speak to you, for many explanations are still needed because humanity lives in error and spiritual darkness .... You will often still be surprised by My guidance and may experience such obvious evidence of grace that it will intensify your love for Me and, time and again, it will strengthen your faith, which will certainly be necessary in the coming time. For My adversary will also tempt you time and again, he forever endeavours to divert you from your spiritual mission, from all spiritual striving. The bright light illuminating you, resulting from your constant bond with Me, annoys him and he wants to extinguish it .... Yet he will not succeed, because My countermeasures work against him, not just yours alone .... And he will truly not be able to overrule Me .... You, however, are under My protection, you already belong to Me on account of your voluntary cooperation, and thus I will certainly know how to protect you from him and his activity. Therefore don't worry about anything that approaches you from his side, from his vassals .... who will try anything to prevent you from continuing My work, who want to place doubts into your hearts in order to incapacitate you to carry on working for Me .... Your faith and your firm bond with Me will ignore everything, and time and again I will give evidence of Myself and be present to you. However, you should know that you can only be fully effective for Me when you have completely detached yourselves from the world .... And thus you will understand why I Myself help you to become free from all worldly desires, you will understand why you are often physically impeded to make even the slightest concessions to the world .... Yet believe that I will bless your suffering, and whatever you will have to relinquish will one day be amply rewarded .... As yet I still need your services, for earth is suffering extreme adversity, people do not consider the end, they thoughtlessly live from day to day and spend no thought on what is to come, on their state after their death, because they don't believe that their life on earth is of significance, that they have to fulfil a task and that they themselves create the state they will be in after their death which they, however, cannot avoid anymore if they don't take serious stock of themselves and change. For this reason I will try everything in My power in order to inform people about the purpose of their earthly life, in order to still save souls before the end, which will not be long in coming .... For the time is completed, the end is near ....

Amen

Sympathy and antipathy ....

B.D. 8306 from October 22nd 1962, taken from Book No. 87

Every spiritual question you ponder shall be answered, for I want you to be enlightened, but you should always request the light from Me directly. Thus I want to explain which spiritual currents you are subject to in association with your fellow human beings and how these currents affect you. You should know that all people are bound by My adversary as long as they are still unredeemed, that they are enslaved, and, according to their state of maturity which solely depends on their degree of love, also influenced by My adversary, that they more or less succumb to his influence and show this in their nature. Understandably, similar kinds of character will attract each other, that is, a human being will always seek to interact with people who exhibit the same disposition. For he finds these people agreeable, he finds them sympathetic, whereas people of an entirely opposite nature are repugnant to him, that is, they are antipathetic. Hence, this is the nearest explanation which surely everyone will understand. However, some people's souls are already more mature when they start earthly life as a human being, who, during their preliminary development in the state of compulsion had subordinated themselves more willingly to all demands, whose resistance has already diminished to a point that they start their life as a human being in a higher state of maturity and thus also reveal more love .... Love will always have a beneficial effect on a fellow human being and will even pacify another person's very immature spiritual substances, which explains that the former radiates a feeling which is equally described as sympathy and which affects the other person very positively, because such a person is not met with resistance and the influence of less mature people will also always be favourable and, occasionally, even increase their degree of love. Love awakens love in response .... and only entirely immature people will be antagonistic towards a loving person, but then he will also feel disagreeably affected by them .... Besides, all people move within a sphere that corresponds to their maturity, which is felt by a sensitive fellow human. If this sphere is dense due to adverse beings, the person will still be completely subject to the adversary's influence and will also have an off-putting effect on those who are already further advanced in their development .... no harmony will be possible because the person will resist currents which are in opposition to his endeavours and feelings ....

Thus sympathy and antipathy can only be explained with spiritual currents, for every person has his own sphere in which he is comfortable, and everything that does not correspond to this sphere affects him disagreeably .... Only a few people are so anchored in divine love within themselves already that their emanation is so strong that even immature souls can feel touched by it, and thus don't offer the former any conscious resistance. The differences of character traits, also being due to the preliminary embodiments, determine the degree of people's affection or dislike among themselves .... That which one person has long cast off already, can still be present in another to a large extent and also cause a feeling of inner resistance .... But if love has become more dominant in a person he will patiently endure the other person's failings and bad habits and try to influence him in the most favourable way, which in truth is doing the other person a service, it is a work of neighbourly love of greatest importance .... A person's sphere of love can have an invigorating effect on the next person and awaken love in him again, and since love is the only means of release from all evil you should even love your enemy, then your life on earth will truly be a blessing for your environment .... You should not withdraw from people you do not find agreeable, instead, try to exert a favourable influence on them .... only avoid them if they are openly hostile towards you, for then they are being used by My adversary in order to make you fall, in which case the time for changing their attitude has not yet come for them. Then your association with them can only be detrimental, for they will not accept anything from you, regardless of whether you want to help them in a spiritual or an earthly way, for the adversary himself is behind them and, feeling it, you should leave them alone and appeal to Me for protection from them. The spiritual being in you, your soul, is more or less affected by currents coming from your fellow human beings, and, as soon as your soul has gained a higher degree of maturity, it will also be pestered by My adversary who uses those people who still belong to him, and then the soul's resistance will be only too understandable, because it has detached itself from the enemy and doesn't want to associate with his followers either ....

However, if the soul itself is very loving it can succeed in influencing an immature person so favourably that he will surrender, and then a great work will have been accomplished by love, for which nothing is impossible .... For love is a power which no person can resist forever, it is just that such love is rarely to be found among people on earth .... For this reason it is difficult to love the enemy but not impossible, otherwise Jesus would not have preached about the love of one's enemy, which requires a high degree of love, but which will also result in great spiritual gain, both for the giver as well as the recipient ....

Amen

Warning against "spiritual leaders" ....

B.D. 8307 from October 23rd 1962, taken from Book No. 87

Whatever impartations from the spiritual world are offered to you can only be purest truth from Me if the knowledge of My act of salvation, of its significance and spiritual reasoning, connected with My human manifestation in Jesus, is made accessible to you, for then you will know..., that I Myself work through My spirit, that they are not just messages from the spirit world which is not yet permitted by Me to teach but which also wants to bring itself to knowledge, yet they are often secluded souls, they are not yet in knowledge themselves, i.e. in the light. However, they have a strong need to communicate with people and to pass on to them what they have represented in earthly life. The bliss of the beings of light consists in the transmission of pure truth, of the stream of light which they themselves are radiated through by Me .... Hence they can also pass on purest truth and are permitted by Me to instruct people who sincerely request the truth from Me .... For these are protected from all erroneous teaching .... Yet the kingdom of the spirits comprises countless souls which have not yet reached perfection on earth, which have already spread much error on earth but in the firm conviction that they stand in the truth .... These do not yet have full light but they do not give up their usual activity on earth .... They also try to influence people's thoughts from the kingdom of the beyond, especially when the latter voluntarily open themselves to their influence in order to receive spiritual messages, when they establish contact with the spirit world and cannot control themselves which spiritual beings approach them .... It must always be said as their excuse that they want the best but take the wrong path .... that they neglect to turn to Me Myself in an earnest request for truth .... How often do spiritual beings present themselves to them as 'guides' and find undivided faith in people who willingly accept everything that is conveyed to them. If these spiritual beings are put to the test, that full clarification about Jesus' act of salvation is demanded of them, then they will only ever convey what was known to them as human beings on earth, yet the true knowledge of it is alien to them .... And therefore they will never speak of the unity God Jesus either, because this light could not yet shine in them, because they themselves do not yet recognize their God and creator in Jesus .... because they themselves could not yet be permeated by the light of truth. If spiritual teachers are active who are instructed by Me to convey the truth to people, then they will pass on the flow of love-light which emanates from Me and radiates through them to people who are intimately in contact with Me Myself .... But then they will also kindle a true light for them about the act of salvation and My human manifestation in Jesus .... But what a spiritual being does not possess itself it cannot pass on either .... Yet the good will of the receiver also determines the degree of light of the giver who, with the best will in the world, would like to share their knowledge with people on earth and use every opportunity where they can divest themselves. But it must always be emphasized that I do not assign them this task because they are not yet mature enough for instruction in fullest truth, yet their will is not resisted .... My protection, however, consists of not letting those walk in error who sincerely desire purest truth from Me .... But anyone who is satisfied with every gift (transmission) from spiritual beings which he cannot control himself .... who unhesitatingly believes everything he receives from the spirit world, his desire for pure truth is not so strong that he could be protected from error. And again you must therefore make a distinction between the 'working of the spirit', between 'My working in the human being' .... and the results from the spirit world .... which you hear with your body's ear through mediums or which you express to your fellow human beings in a mediumistic state ..... And I have given you a sure sign for testing by indicating whether and how you gain knowledge about Jesus' act of salvation and My incarnation .... And if there is not yet complete clarity about this you also have to be careful with the acceptance of spiritual knowledge, and you can only ever be given the one advice to contact Me directly, as the eternal truth, and to approach Me for this .... And truly, I Myself will introduce you to the truth, as I have promised ....

Amen

Jesus' activity on Earth ....

B.D. 8308 from October 23rd 1962, taken from Book No. 87

When I lived on earth I taught you humans the Gospel of love, for you should develop the love within you into utmost perfection and also be aware of its consequences, which you were able to identify by My activity .... I was only able to heal the sick and perform miracles on account of My indwelling love, which permeated Me completely and subsequently resulted in unity with the Father .... the Eternal Love .... which is the goal of every being created by the Father. Thus I exemplified a life of love to you and only ever treated My neighbourhood with love .... Consequently I was able to teach in all wisdom, I was able to enlighten people's spiritual darkness since this light of wisdom came forth from the fire of My love. For this reason you humans will only gain realisation when you live a life of love, for love is the flow of divine light which illuminates a person's heart so that he can attain profound knowledge, which provides clarification about himself and his relationship with God, his Father of eternity .... People spent their lives in complete darkness, their thinking was wrong because their hearts lacked love and thus they lacked the fire which could emit a light .... And I came to them, I came into the midst of the human race, but they did not know Me and rejected the light .... They persecuted and attacked Me because their heartless way of life was also a life of sin. Yet I repaid all evil only with love, I compassionately took care of their suffering, I relieved them from ailments and only ever taught love, because this was the only remedy, both earthly as well as spiritually .... And there were only a few who recognised Me, who followed Me and made an effort to live a life of love, and they became enlightened and joined Me .... because they also recognised in Me the Messiah, the Saviour from severe adversity Who had long been announced to them through prophets. But only a few believed My Words and lived accordingly, who lived with love and were guided through the spiritual darkness into the light .... for the light lived in the midst of them ....

I constantly preached love and, time and again, I will proclaim to people the divine teaching of love, I will present it as being of paramount importance and admonish all people to live a life of love like Me in order to thereby gain the realisation of why they live on earth, what their task consists of and what they should strive for .... As soon as a small glimmer of light has fallen into their hearts, as soon as they unite with Me, as the Eternal Love, through unselfish kind-hearted activity, they will become increasingly more enlightened, they will become more knowledgeable and this knowledge will indeed correspond to truth because I, Truth and Love, are one .... He who lives in love will be united with Me and also know the truth .... He will have stepped out of the spiritual night into the light and all darkness will have left him. Only love can achieve this, consequently the Gospel of love will be proclaimed to you time and again, and any concepts conveyed to you from external sources must always kindle love in your hearts, they must always consist of admonitions to live your life on earth in love. Time and again you must change yourselves into love, you must fight against selfish love and try to change it into unselfish neighbourly love .... I must be presented to you as a God of love, Whom you can only reach through love .... For love is everything .... it is strength and light, it is bliss .... Anyone who lives without love is still burdened by darkness and his earthly path is obscure to him .... Anyone who has shaped himself into love will no longer fear anything, for he recognises his God and Creator as a loving Father and strives consciously towards Him .... Love liberates, it liberates from all bondage, love bestows happiness and grants bliss in abundance .... Love comes from Me and leads back to Me again .... For love connects the child with the Father .... Love grants the greatest happiness while still on earth and then again one day in eternity, for Love is God, It unites Father and child for all eternity ....

Amen

God's answer directly or indirectly ....

B.D. 8309 from October 24th 1962, taken from Book No. 87

Keep to My word which comes to you from above, which I convey to you humans as evidence of My love and grace in the time before the end. This word will give you full enlightenment as soon as you sincerely desire it, for it first teaches you love, and if you fulfil My commandment of love it also means that you will become enlightened and that your thinking will be guided correctly .... so that you will then no longer sin either, because you endeavour to fulfil My will, which you now also recognize .... And if you now also see the right path in front of you through the inner light, then continue on it unwaveringly and don't let yourselves be diverted from it, don't listen to those who want to lure you onto another path but know that your path leads to the goal, to Me, Who lures and calls you from above, Whose voice you may hear and Who, as a good shepherd, goes ahead of you to lead you home. Then let the others speak and do not fear their revenge or their threats, for you are truly safe in My care. And you will feel if and when your father speaks to you and follow this voice. This is why I speak to you through the mouth of a human being, because strength and light shall be supplied to you time and again .... And as long as you listen to Me you will also receive strength and light, and you will not need to pay attention to what is offered to you from another side .... For who can instruct you better than I, Who knows everything and can therefore also introduce you to the truth? And thus I also want to take care of all your worries, which you fully entrust to Me .... What you no longer believe you can bear, place on My shoulders, and truly, the burden will become lighter for you until I completely carry it and show you that I am your father and will not leave My children in adversity. And intimately ask Me when you need advice and then listen to the inner voice; pay attention to what your heart tells you to do and everything you undertake will be right: For I place the answer in the heart of every one of My children if he intimately asks Me for it .... only you must also pay attention to what you feel to be right after such a prayer, for then My will is in you and you can no longer want anything wrong, anything sinful, especially if you are filled with love and thus only strive to fulfil My will. And I will certainly come to meet you, everything will work out such that you will recognize My guidance and be happy about My love. Anyone who fully trusts Me will already have his request fulfilled, because I will not let a firm faith fail. And faith only attains this firmness again through love, and love gives light, and now the human being will no longer need to ask because he recognizes the answer within himself. And be certain that nothing you do out of pure, unselfish love, which wants to give, make happy or protect from harm, is sin ..... Such love cannot commit any wrong, because love is divine and all sinfulness is far from it .... For sin is only that which offends against love, because then you offend against Me Myself, Who is love .... And if you are now united with Me through love, you will also do no wrong ....

Amen

Announcement of the end and signs of the time ....

B.D. 8310 from October 25th 1962, taken from Book No. 87

The announcements of a near end seem unbelievable to people, consequently they reject them and also doubt the truth of the spiritual messages I convey to Earth .... And yet it will not take long for these announcements to fulfil themselves, for My Word is truth .... And precisely the fact that people don't have much time left to change their nature into love causes Me to repeatedly draw their attention to the end and to seriously admonish them to listen to My Word and to live their life accordingly. However, people don't want to believe and I cannot forcibly affect their thoughts and intentions, I can only ever inform them of that which is about to happen to them and leave it up to their free will as to how they assess and make use of such proclamations. And since the process of the end has never taken place before, since people have no knowledge of this, it is also difficult for them to believe it, even though from the beginning of this earthly period I have indicated this end time and again. Yet they should also take notice of the signs which I foretold as well .... They will notice that the signs are increasing and that, purely from a worldly point of view, a change must come about, for everything is intensifying to an abnormal degree, people find themselves on a level which should make them stop and think .... There is no more love, instead, people outdo each other with heartlessness, living next to each other in harmony no longer exists, people are hostile towards each other and allow free reign to their low instincts and passions, they chase after material goods and do not strive towards any spiritual contact whatsoever .... Like it was at the time of the great Flood, people are only searching for worldly pleasure and even obtain it by unlawful means due to the fact that love has grown cold .... Anyone looking around with open eyes should already recognise the signs of the last days and know that one day restitution will have to come, that one day God's power and righteousness must come to the fore, if a God is believed in at all. If this faith is completely missing, people will truly have reached a low spiritual level which will also draw in the end of this earth .... Yet from My side nothing else can be done but to repeatedly point out the end, to constantly keep addressing people through the mouths of prophets and seers and to enlighten them about the cause and effect of people's lives .... but always leaving it up to their freedom of will to grant credence to the proclaimers of My Word or to reject it. Nevertheless, every person's destiny will proceed faster than you think; all of you will have to experience this time if you are not blessed by being recalled before. My plan of Salvation was established an infinitely long time ago and will certainly be implemented because the time the spiritual beings were granted for releasing themselves from the physical form in this period of salvation has come to an end .... And even the exceedingly short time you have left until the end could still be enough for your final release if only you make your serious will known to fulfil your purpose of life on earth, consciously strive towards Me and appeal for My support to achieve perfection .... For I will truly comply with this serious plea, I will help you in every spiritual adversity and with profound mercy draw you to Me, so that you will not go astray again for an infinitely long time when the end of this earth has come ....

Amen

Unleashed elements of nature ....

B.D. 8311 from October 27th 1962, taken from Book No. 87

I will always and forever care for you, who are still very distant from Me and refuse to take the path back to Me, and full of compassion I look upon humanity which makes no attempt to turn to Me and to renounce My adversary for good. The end of this earth comes constantly closer, which decides all its inhabitants' future fates .... I let My admonishing voice sound ever more urgently, and an extent of suffering and adversity goes across earth which could truly suffice to change people's minds, yet most of them remain indifferent as long as they are not affected themselves, and their selfish love grows ever stronger so that they reward themselves with worldly pleasures and barely consider their unfortunate neighbours .... And although more and more accidents and disasters will happen, they even increase the adversities and suffering with their own machinations and thereby drive people into serious difficulties, sin gets out of hand and irresponsible are the actions of the individual person towards his fellow man .... They are so distant from Me that My voice can barely reach them, and thus it will prompt Me to resound loudly from above .... so that they will also experience extreme adversity through the elements of nature, so that they will no longer be able to hold their fellow human beings accountable for that which afflicts them but that they will have to acknowledge that a Power is manifesting Itself Which they themselves cannot oppose. I have to use this last means of force, although even this will not compel them to believe, because people will give themselves all kinds of explanations apart from the one that their God and Creator wants to express Himself in order to be heard by them .... The presence of faith in a God is extremely weak, and even this weak faith will be relinquished by many people in view of the work of destruction caused by the unleashed elements of nature .... And yet I will use this last means because individual people will still find Me when they, in extreme danger, take the path to Me and send a prayer in spirit and in truth to Me .... They will receive help in miraculous ways and then will never want to leave Me again, because they have received My obvious help, but this can only be given to those who call upon Me in spirit and in truth ....

Countless people will lose their lives and will have to replace the earth with the kingdom of the beyond, but they will still have the opportunity to ascend, for the gates to the spiritual kingdom are not closed as yet and for many people it is still a blessing to be recalled from earth. And I truly know the state of their souls, to which extent they are still capable of being taught in the kingdom of the beyond .... However, the survivors on earth will be faced by a time of need which will only be endurable by making use of My strength and help .... For there will be incalculable chaos which you humans will be unable to master on your own, and then it will be shown that My Own will be led through all tribulation because My help for them will be evident .... And they will be able to offer comfort and strength to their fellow human beings too by also referring them to Me, Who alone can improve their situation but Who also wants to be called upon from the bottom of their hearts. This last intervention of Mine before the end will be a greater than great blessing as well, although most people will doubt My love, indeed, even openly deny a God Who lets such a disaster befall humanity. Yet there is not much time left until the end .... Hence everything must be done in advance to spare people the fate of a renewed banishment in the creations of the new earth, because this fate is so appalling that you humans can't possibly imagine it .... And if I want to protect you from this I will therefore continue to use those means prior to it which still promise a little success, even if you doubt them to be the work of a living God Who is love within Himself .... My only concern is that people will remember Me in their distress, that they will take the path to Me, that they will acknowledge Me in their heart and then not go astray if they are being recalled, for then their ascent in the kingdom of the beyond will also be assured to them. And if they survive the huge natural event they will not relinquish Me anymore, and everyone will still be granted a time of grace until the end during which they can make a decision if they are still undecided. The time is approaching the end, and humanity still has to face many difficulties .... Yet those who believe in Me can calmly await even this time, for they will always receive My help, and this adversity, too, will pass by once it has served its purpose .... For soon I Myself will come and fetch My Own from this earth when the last day has arrived, as it is intended in My plan of eternity ....

Amen

Warning against medial receptions .... "Spiritual Guides" ....

B.D. 8312 from October 28th 1962, taken from Book No. 87

It is understandable that I take care of all people in this last time before the end, that I try to instruct people everywhere and address them as soon as only a receptive heart can be found which lets Me speak to it and passes My address on to its fellow human beings again. It is particularly important to Me that people are admonished to love, because otherwise no salvation from ruin can be expected. And where people come together who cultivate this spirit of love, who live a life of love themselves and try to encourage their fellow human beings to do the same, it will also be possible to send messages to people from above which are only ever intended to encourage people to strive spiritually, to put the world with its demands aside and to strive for the salvation of their souls. And thus I will also be able to make Myself known through the inner word where all prerequisites are present which enable the working of My spirit in the human being. And then only the same truth will ever be conveyed to earth, because people shall walk in the light in order to cover the right path to ascent. Yet My adversary also works and dresses himself in the garment of an angel of light in order to mislead people, and this cannot be warned of enough. And this will be ascertained by such announcements which deviate from the pure truth, which you humans can check at any time. For as soon as I Myself instruct people I will not convey different knowledge to earth than there .... Therefore, as soon as the transmitted spiritual knowledge coincides, I Myself am active .... But if there are contradictions My adversary is at work who fights against the truth in order to maintain darkness. But if people's will is good they may also know themselves to be protected from the influence of opposing forces, and everything will work out for the souls' blessing. For the will of the individual is decisive as to whether he is touched by the pure truth and also recognizes it as truth. And the will is good if he gives himself to Me Myself because he strives for unity with Me and makes an effort to live a life of love in unselfishness .... . Then he need not fear falling prey to dark forces, and then he will also be helped in every way .... There is only one thing I have to mention again and again, that people should, if possible, beware of medial receptions .... For even though not every message from the spiritual kingdom received in a mediumistic state need be erroneous, you humans will nevertheless not always have the power of judgement to distinguish error from truth, and this is the danger that you must always fear being misled. For the beings of light, who in special cases also make themselves known through a medium, will time and again try to persuade people to switch off mediumistic reception and consciously request My word, they will point out to you that you only need to shape your heart through loving activity so that I Myself can use it as a receptacle for My spirit and My flow of love strength will then also pour into such a prepared heart. But if 'spiritual guides' make themselves known to you in the mediumistic state, you must always be on your guard, for then both the recipient and his environment must be of high spiritual maturity and sincerely desire only the pure truth .... in order to experience the protection of the world of light, which pushes away all unspiritual elements which try to interfere. But you humans should know that My spirit can and will work in every person who fulfils the prerequisites: that he lives a life of love, thereby attains a firm faith and then consciously listens within himself after heartfelt prayer for the supply of the pure truth .... He must earnestly desire the truth so that it will now also be supplied to him through the working of My spirit in him .... But then you will not need any instructions from the spirit world, which is uncontrollable for you .... although the truth can also reach you from there, because the world of light only passes on on My instructions what it receives from Me .... but this should happen again through the spirit in the human being which establishes the connection with the eternal father-spirit .... And spiritual guides, who are active in My will, will always try to encourage you humans to establish the bond with Me yourselves, so that My promise will be fulfilled: „I will send you the comforter, the spirit of truth, who will guide you into all truth ...." and „Whoever loves Me and keeps My commandments, I Myself will come to him and reveal Myself to him ...." Understand that I am always ready to speak to you and to make known to you everything that is helpful for your salvation .... And therefore take the path directly to Me, Who is the eternal truth Myself and wants to set you free from everything that is still part of My adversary who, as the prince of darkness, also seeks to keep you in darkness .... I Myself bring you the light, and accept it and let it shine into your heart, and truly, it will only be for your blessing ....

Amen

God's power current ....

B.D. 8313 from October 29th 1962, taken from Book No. 87

Every bond with Me, every thought that applies to Me, is of greatest blessing for your soul .... I tell you this time and again, for then you will be touched by My flow of strength time and again, because then you will also open yourselves so that this flow can flow into you. You cannot measure what this bond means, after all, it is the conscious turning away from My adversary and return to Me which, as it were, cancels your former sin of apostasy, for your thoughts will only stay with Me if you yourselves want the separation to be lifted .... And then the possibility is also created that My ray of love will strike you again, because then you will no longer reject it .... And to be illuminated by My love again also means that your being will slowly change again into what it was in the beginning: strength of love radiated by Me, thus beings full of love who were immeasurably happy. Believe that every thought turned towards Me makes this illumination of love possible and that your soul has to irrevocably mature on this earth so that it will no longer be denied entry into the kingdom of light .... For to be able to be illuminated by My love again also includes everything else, which is the prerequisite that the gates into the kingdom of light are opened for you .... For you will work in love yourselves because the strength flowing to you from Me impels you to do so, and love will kindle bright light in you so that you can already attain a high degree of realization on earth .... And thus you will also understand Jesus' act of salvation and fully turn to the divine redeemer Jesus Christ, and this also means that He will open the gates into the kingdom of light for you upon your entry into the kingdom of the beyond. And your purpose of earthly life will only be able to be fulfilled if your soul constantly receives strength from Me .... But the flow of strength from Me necessitates the voluntary opening of your hearts, it necessitates the conscious bond with Me which you establish through thoughts turned towards Me, for no such thought remains unnoticed by Me, you draw Me to yourselves when your thoughts deal with your God and creator, and now I can also guide these thoughts correctly, I can, as it were, take possession of your soul and push the adversary away from you. For then you will give yourselves to Me, and this devotion to Me will then also take place consciously, that you will give your will to Me yourselves, that you want to be seized and guided by Me, that you will mention Me as your guide through this earthly life .... if you ask Me to be your friend and brother, your father, Who walks with you on your pilgrimage path on this earth .... then you can also leave yourselves to Me completely carefree, for then you will also safely reach your goal on earth: complete union on earth with Me .... Then you will have successfully made your way back to the father's house, you will be with Me again, from Whom you once started .... For this reason every minute of the day you give to Me is blessed, and then you will stay with Me longer and longer, for the strength of love which touches you also has the effect of a desire for My presence, then you will not only lead your earthly life but the spiritual kingdom will be ever more desirable to you, and your earthly life will be increasingly spiritually oriented. Then there will also no longer be any danger that you will sink back and long for the world with its goods. For these no longer tempt you once you were allowed to take possession of spiritual goods which were offered to you in the form of knowledge through the increasing flow of love. And My love will draw you, the impulse for loving activity will grow ever stronger in you, and thus you will also fulfil your purpose of earthly life. For love alone will release you from all bondage, love will free you from all forms, and you can leave the earthly body at the hour of death as mature and enter the kingdom of light and bliss as a free spiritual being, in which you can now create and work in union with Me, as is your destiny ....

Amen

Address to the vineyard workers ....

B.D. 8314 from October 30th 1962, taken from Book No. 87

Anyone who offers to serve Me by participating in the work of salvation as an eager co-worker, by helping to guide erring souls onto the right path, can also truly be certain of My blessing and My help, for this alone is important, that helpers use all their strength to carry out what is necessary but can also only be carried out by people because I cannot and may not work unusually .... otherwise it would truly be easy for Me to inform all people of their God and creator and their purpose of earthly life .... But earthly life is a decision of free will for every human being, and therefore I can only use people again who want to work for Me in My vineyard. For they can accept you but also reject you according to their will, which is not forced into its decision by the transmission of My word through you. And if you now know how urgently I need faithful labourers for Me, because it is the last time before the end and all people no longer have much time to mature on this earth, you can also truly believe that I will help you in every way .... The only prerequisite is that you show the earnest will to carry out this vineyard work .... But if you want to serve Me with all your strength you cannot serve another lord at the same time, you cannot simultaneously fulfil the will of the one who is My adversary and whose endeavour will always be to withhold the knowledge of the truth from people, but which I want to bring to them. Therefore, anyone who serves him cannot serve Me at the same time .... You must take this into serious consideration and also ask yourselves whether and in what way you are willing to serve him .... You must be clear that I cannot and will not support you in an activity which is obviously the adversary's work, through which he can reap a rich harvest .... How can I agree with this when it is My constant endeavour to liberate people from their worldly desire and to only turn their desire towards the spiritual kingdom? .... This is a battle which every person has to wage against himself and which also costs great strength to overcome, but for this I will always grant My assistance .... But you, who want to serve Me, should also try to achieve the same by causing your fellow human beings to recognize and avoid the dangers of the world .... You should work together with Me but not against Me .... by offering them opportunities to gain insight into My adversary's realm and increase their desire for the world .... and then you serve two masters, you play one master against the other .... I truly need faithful servants to whom I can assign the work in My vineyard, and I rejoice in every willing co-worker and will bless him, yet I demand his full commitment to Me and cannot approve of him being at the same time at the will of My adversary who will truly try everything to push him away from Me completely because he wants to gain the victory over Me by winning more souls for himself than are saved for Me .... Consider that I, as the father of the house, take care of My servants spiritually and earthly so that they need not suffer any hardship, and have faith in this assurance of Mine .... But also understand My admonitions and warnings, understand all obstacles which get in your way, for I Myself allow them because I want to win you completely for Myself and My kingdom, because I don't want to hand you over to My adversary, because your work for Me is extremely valuable to Me .... but therefore I also want to possess you undivided .... You shall fully commit yourselves to Me and My kingdom, for there is not much time left, and what you gain earthly you will lose, but the spiritual gain will amply compensate you .... You will come ever closer to My heart, and truly, you will be allowed to feel My love because you prove your love to Me through undivided work for Me and My kingdom. Bear in mind that countless souls are in greatest need .... Reduce this hardship but don't increase it .... Always remember that I fight for every single soul in order to rescue it from darkness, and therefore you must not plunge it into darkness, but you do so by every favour, by every aid to sin, for people are weak and must be protected where they are in danger of being tempted to sin .... I certainly know that the individual cannot do much against people's sinfulness, yet he should not himself contribute to the encouragement of sinfulness .... For every individual is responsible for himself .... but whoever causes offence is equally guilty .... You should take this to heart and always endeavour to make contact with Me with a pure heart, then you will also be true servants to Me whom I can count as My own, and you will obviously be allowed to experience My blessing, because I need everyone who wants to serve Me, and then he will truly no longer need to worry, neither about his earthly nor his spiritual well-being, for I always want to be a faithful father to My own ....

Amen

The word from above lights a light ....

B.D. 8315 from October 31th 1962, taken from Book No. 87

You will be granted a direct supply of My word as the greatest gift of grace, and you need only be willing to accept this gift .... You only need to listen to it willingly, i.e. without inner resistance, think it through and live accordingly .... My will will be clearly and simply proclaimed to you, you will be informed why you have to fulfil My will, and you will also be given strength together with My word in order to be able to fulfil My will. And then you will also fulfil your purpose of earthly life and the spiritual success .... the maturing of your soul .... will then also certainly be granted to you. Time and again this is explained to you and yet little attention is paid to My gift of grace, and the result of this is that people go through earthly life without realization and strive for goals which are wrong and dangerous because they lead to the abyss if they are not recognized as wrong soon enough. But no-one can enlighten you correctly about this if I don't do it or the servants appointed by Me, who were given the right knowledge by Me because they are to transfer it to you if you are willing to accept My instructions. Only I can give you a true picture of all spiritual correlations, only I can give you the knowledge about yourselves and your relationship with Me, your God and creator of eternity, only I can give you the right information about yourselves, what you were, what you are and what you should become again .... And only such truthful knowledge can cause you yourselves to make My will your own and to be willing to live according to this will you have recognized. I do not demand a change of being from anyone who is completely blind in spirit .... I first give him a small light in which he shall and can now find his way. And therefore I Myself constantly endeavour to enlighten people's spiritual state, for only when they are able to think correctly will they make the right decision, and I want to help them to do so. My adversary plunged you into deepest darkness, but I want to lead you out of darkness into light, for darkness is death but light is life .... And My infinite love wants to give life to everything dead, because life alone is the state of beatitude. You yourselves once voluntarily strayed from Me, and you had voluntarily distanced yourselves from My love, from light and all strength .... thus you became sinful to an extent which you as a human being are incapable of grasping .... And therefore you were completely devoid of all love, light and strength .... And now I give you everything again if only you are willing to accept the gift of My love .... For I convey My word to earth which, as evidence of My infinite love for you, is blessed with My strength, which thus is able to change you again .... i.e. your nature .... so that you come closer to Me again, that light becomes within you and you also make use of My strength, which you may receive through the willing acceptance of My word .... But because the gift of grace of My love may not force you humans to believe, it is offered to you through a human being whom I have chosen as My instrument .... which, however, you can accept or also reject as untrustworthy .... But I must leave this freedom of will to you, for you should freely decide which relationship you now want to establish with Me .... And if your will is good then you will also recognize Me Myself in My word, you will feel by Whom you are addressed and then also fulfil My will of your own accord, that is, you will live a life of love, because I require nothing else but love from you, because you can only redeem yourselves through love. Love is the fundamental principle, and therefore every instruction on My part must only ever result in love being emphasized .... My will must always be recognizable as the fulfilment of the commandments of love. And thus My word conveyed to you from above must also focus on love for Me and for the neighbour, love must time and again be preached to people as a matter of priority, and they must be made aware of both the effects of a life of love as well as the consequences of a loveless way of life, and anyone who now fulfils My will will also soon have a bright light shine for him, and he will recognize himself as a 'creature' of God which shall develop into a 'child' ('of God') on earth, which shall only ever strive towards his father in order to one day be and remain eternally blissfully happy in union with Him ....

Amen

The messengers along the path of ascent ....

B.D. 8316 from November 1st 1962, taken from Book No. 87

I would always place My will into your heart if only you appealed to Me for guidance as to what you should do. Then I will know that you endeavour to fulfil My will at all times and truly, you will not make any wrong decisions. I take care of every single person because everyone needs strength for his path of ascent, yet anyone willing to take this path of ascent must also pay attention to advice as well as the messengers standing by the wayside, for time and again roads branch off from the right path which lead towards the abyss, which must be cautioned against. And precisely these wrong paths are so very enticing at first, they are visually so vivid, so attractive, that the human being will easily be inclined to take them in the hope of ever greater delights .... Yet they lead into the darkest undergrowth from which the traveller can no longer free himself and has to appeal for help. This is why I say to you, pay attention to the messengers by the wayside, who know the right path and whom I Myself send to meet the pilgrims, so that they won't walk without a guide and go astray. And don't grumble if the path leads uphill or becomes harder to surmount .... The strength for this will always flow to you, and your will, too, can increase in strength at any time if only you sincerely appeal to Me for more strength .... for this request will truly be granted to you, because I yearn for your return and on My part will do everything to draw you to My heart before long, which has longed for you ever since your apostasy from Me ....

Your earthly process is full of all kinds of temptations .... For My adversary wants to keep you for himself, and he will only ever show you the commodities of this world, you will see a broad, acceptable, exceptionally pleasant road ahead of you promising you the most beautiful goal, which you would take without hesitation if you were not constantly warned by My messengers who are instructed by Me to guide you such that you will find the right path and leave the broad road .... Time and again these messengers call out that you are taking the wrong direction, that you should turn around and take the right path if you want to reach the goal .... if you, at the end of your pilgrimage on this earth, want to reach your Father's house which truly will provide you with all glories, which will compensate you abundantly for the joys you forgo if you choose the narrow path that leads to this magnificent goal. So listen to these messengers, believe that they are sent to meet you by Me, your Father of eternity, because I love you and want to enable your final return to Me .... Don't be alarmed by apparent obstacles for they are easily overcome if only you hand yourselves over to your guides who will safely lead you past cliffs and ravines, and then the path will appear to get gradually easier the closer you are to the goal.

For I want to guide you Myself, and with Me you truly will overcome all difficulties, with Me even the steepest path will be easy for you, for you will receive an uninterrupted flow of strength from Me as soon as you entrust yourselves to Me, and you will approach lucid heights and no longer desire to descend .... But you will never be able to reach this goal using the broad road which you travel at the start and which certainly promises you much but irrevocably leads into the abyss, from which you are supposed to work your way up to the pinnacle after all. And even if you cannot decide for a long time to leave this broad road, time and again you will recognise byways and again and again My messengers will call out to you to take these paths in order to reach the goal on account of which you live on earth ....

For I do not stop pursuing you, and I always approach you Myself in these messengers and speak to you through them because I don't want you to go astray and for the sake of trivial joys forfeit your eternal life which, however, can only be attained if you turn away from the broad road that My adversary has furnished with the most beautiful images and equipped with deceptive lights. Nevertheless, they do not shed any light because he wants to lead you towards the abyss again, from where My love had helped you rise until your existence as a human being, but now you must cover your final path yourselves in free will, for which I indeed offer you My help again which you only need to accept ....

Amen

Fear and misery .... God's intervention - Battle of faith ....

B.D. 8317 from November 1st 1962, taken from Book No. 87

You may take it for granted that you will soon enter the last stage before the end .... For the signs will be noticeable which were predicted in Word and Scripture .... However, under no circumstances will you be compelled to believe it, for every person is free to find his own explanation as to whether it corresponds to the truth or not .... Yet the spiritually minded person knows that a period is coming to an end, and he also knows that a new one will start again, because countless spiritual beings shall still be redeemed which travel the path across earth partly in a constrained state and partly as free beings for the purpose of their return to God .... Everything will take place in lawful order, both the disintegration of the creation as well as the reshaping of the earth, because God's plan of Salvation has been predetermined for eternity .... And due to your eternal God and Creator's immense grace you humans who live in the last days are permitted to be informed of what lies ahead of you .... You will be initiated into His plan of Salvation if you want to know the truth about it, and therefore you may receive His Word which in all truthfulness informs you of everything pertaining to the act of creation and deification .... For it is not His will that you should experience the end in complete ignorance because .... if you just possess a small glimmer of realisation .... you will make an effort to fulfil the purpose of your earthly life which entails that you will bring the act of deification to fruition in earthly life and thus reach your goal ....

However, it requires your free will to know the truth, and then you will also be able to believe everything that is conveyed to you humans through the Word of God from above. Then you will also find it credible that the end and a total transformation of the earth is near, for your spirit will explain much to you and all correlations will fall into place .... And thus you will also be able to observe happenings in the world which will have alarming consequences for the whole of mankind .... You will watch how people proceed against each other and the measures all participants take in order to assert their authority .... You will get very frightened, for you humans will be threatened by an exterminatory war of immense proportions, there will be widespread fear which will only bypass the few who completely hand themselves over to their God and Creator, their Father of eternity, and who therefore will be led out of every adversity .... And His guidance will be truly remarkable, for He Himself will intervene .... Yet, instead of diminishing, the tribulation will become much worse, for then people will be faced by and find themselves at the mercy of a natural disaster, a raging of elements, which cannot be humanly prevented, because it is the expression of that Power Which is in control of all forces and Which the elements have to obey in accordance with Its will ....

And this will be the dawning of a time which can truly be regarded as the greatest misery that has ever come across this earth .... but which, again, will not be quite so severely felt by His Own because they may receive God's extraordinary help at all times .... Yet those who are distant from their God and Creator, who do not believe in His love and wisdom, in His greater than great might, will have to suffer great hardship because they won't call upon the One Who can help them in their distress .... They will not acknowledge Him and are still of the same opposing spirit as they were at the time of their apostasy from God, and thus they will return to the abyss again, from where they had already raised themselves with the help of God and just had to pass their last test of will in order to be completely redeemed from all guilt. For in the last days a brutal battle will erupt against Jesus Christ, Whom you humans have to acknowledge as God's Son and Redeemer of the world in Whom God Himself became a human being .... so that you can then enter the spiritual kingdom in a redeemed state .... Yet God's adversary will declare war on all those who believe in Him, and therefore everyone will have to publicly profess Him before the world .... And only those who have accepted His Word which was transmitted to earth from above will be able to profess Him, for they will recognise the truth and know Who Jesus Christ was and why He has to be acknowledged, and they will remain faithful to Him until the end and belong to those who will be carried away when the day of the end has come .... The battle of faith will be the last test of endurance for you humans, but which you who know the truth will be able to pass .... This is why God time and again conveys His Word to earth, so that all people can partake of the truth in order to also uphold it before the world during the final battle of faith, for only the truth will provide them with the information about Jesus Christ, and only faith in Him will give you the strength to persevere until the end .... until He comes Himself to fetch you into His kingdom ....

Amen

Transience of the earthly .... Intercession for souls ....

B.D. 8318 from November 2nd 1962, taken from Book No. 87

Time and again you humans can observe the transience of all earthly things and already see from this that earthly goods are worthless for eternity, for you cannot take any of them over into the kingdom of the beyond if you have to leave your earthly body. And since you don't know the hour of your death, which the very next day can bring you, you should not use your life's energy for the acquisition of earthly goods but only to acquire eternal goods which will follow you into the kingdom of the beyond as spiritual wealth. Then you would truly act wisely, you would fill your lamps with oil and then no longer need to fear darkness. And time and again you will be confronted by the transience of all earthly things, time and again you will experience the recall of people from this life, time and again you will see material goods abandoned to destruction; time and again you will be able to experience that nothing belonging to this world will last .... Your body will pass away, just as everything earthly-material passes away .... But your soul has no offence to fear when it escapes from the earthly body .... It is the spiritual substance which can never pass away again because it is once emanated strength from Me which will continue to exist for all eternity. Only its state can be completely different at the death of the body .... It can enter into light and strength and freedom to live forever, but it can also remain in the state of death for eternal times .... And the fate of the souls is determined by you humans yourselves during your earthly life, for you can use the life energy given to you of your own free will, both for the body as well as for the soul, so that it will attain life and need not fear death, which will then be its fate if the human being leaves the soul in want during his earthly life, if he does nothing to help it to live, if he only tries to provide the body with the goods of the world, which are transient. Then the soul will enter the kingdom of the beyond after the death of the body in poverty and destitution, in a state of powerlessness and bitterest misery ..... For it cannot take anything it acquired on earth with it, it does not enter a kingdom of light but moves in utmost darkness and is only dependent on the loving help of the beings of light which, however, it does not recognize as such and therefore usually rejects them .... And then only the loving intercession of people on earth can help it to gain enough strength to strive for an improvement of its pitiful situation. Such a soul has to pay dearly for the world's goods, for they have plunged it into great misery because the body took precedence over the soul, but the soul now has to bear the consequences. If you humans could see the appalling misery of such souls you would truly take pity on them and not deny them help in order to bring them relief in their situation .... And you can only do this through loving intercession which you give to them, which they feel as a grant of strength and they give up their will of rejection .... Then the beings of light which approach them unrecognized will also be heard sooner, and they can slowly come to realize what they neglected to do on earth ...., for souls which are followed into eternity by intercession on the part of people will not be lost, because every loving intercession is a ray of strength and this strength can never ever be lost, thus it exerts a positive effect on those souls .... Therefore remember all souls which still languish in darkness and lovingly take care of them .... Help them through your prayer so that they will not sink any further, for your prayer protects them from this .... They will feel an intercession in love as a strengthening of will and also as small sparks of light which they follow and thus reach you who remembered them in prayer. And they will also always stay close to you, hoping for renewed supply of strength and light .... For this reason you humans can contribute much to the redemption of the souls in the spiritual world if you consciously try to help them, if you deal with their adversity and try to alleviate it, if you also bring My word close to them, which they can now hear if only they are willing to improve their condition, if they feel a flow of love from you and know that you take care of their adversity .... Admittedly, their resistance, which they still possessed to a great extent on earth and therefore did not accept spiritual help on earth, first has to be broken through loving intercession. But the person who loves his body excessively so that he only helps it to prosperity will also be inaccessible to spiritual instructions, and this is the soul's great hardship that it was deprived of spiritual nourishment and that it enters the kingdom of the beyond in a dreadful state without it. Yet people's love can alleviate much hardship .... a prayer of love for these souls will truly help them up from the dark realm and the soul will also be able to ascend in the beyond as soon as it is always granted assistance by the beings of light and people on earth ....

Amen

Only love is bliss ....

B.D. 8319 from November 3rd 1962, taken from Book No. 87

Having to do without My love is the most wretched state a being, which created My love, can find itself in. Yet it created this state for itself because it rejected My love, which is radiated to every being without limitation, until it resisted Me and closed itself to all illumination of love on My part. Then the unhappy state set in, which the being will remain in until it voluntarily opens itself again and lets My love radiate into it .... To be without My love is a state of death, a state of lifelessness and a state of deepest darkness. That I do not want to leave the creatures, which once came forth from My love, in this unhappiness is guaranteed by My endless love .... For it followed the being even into the deepest depth and will not rest until the being has ascended again from that depth with My help .... until it has regained the self-awareness it had lost in the depths .... and now, as an I-conscious being, voluntarily opens itself to receive My ray of love. And time and again it has been proclaimed to you through My word that this process of illumination with love can only take place on My part if you yourselves make an effort to live in love .... if you therefore voluntarily accomplish the change back to love, just as you once voluntarily relinquished love. At the beginning of your embodiment as a human being you are still unaware of the bliss of giving and receiving love, for your ego is only self-centred, self-love is still strongly developed, which My adversary implanted in you and which was the reason for your apostasy from Me .... Self-love certainly makes itself happy but it does not create a state of bliss, for self-love is not of divine origin but belongs to My adversary. But as soon as you try to change selfish love into unselfish neighbourly love, into giving, selfless, wanting-to-gratify love .... you will also feel the bliss of the activity of love, for you then establish the bond with the eternal love through your activity of love, and this bond must also irrevocably bring you bliss, because then I can shine upon you again as it was in the beginning .... For whatever comes forth from Me must cause bliss, because I am love Itself, which only ever wants to bestow bliss and which will not rest until the work of returning all fallen beings to Me is finished. Although you humans on earth should always remember that you are infinitely loved, that you are loved by the highest and most perfect being, by the greatest spirit of infinity, Whose children you shall become and Who one day wants to create and work with you as your father, for your and also your own happiness .... You should feel this awareness of being loved with all intimacy strongly in your heart and already be blissfully happy about it, for then you will also voluntarily hand yourselves over to Me, you will desire My love and long for the happiness of a union with Me .... And then your return to Me is also guaranteed, for love draws to itself what it desires .... You humans on earth must therefore learn to recognize your God and creator as a being Which wants to be your father and is love itself in supreme perfection .... If you know about My nature, then you will also consciously connect with Me .... And therefore I also want to send you the knowledge about it time and again, and I speak to you about it, I convey My word from above to you in order to introduce you to the great mystery of My being, which you will only be able to love when you know that it itself is love .... Time and again My adversary will distort My image, he will try to portray Me to you as a God of vengeance, as a strict judge and as a merciless being Who condemns but does not redeem .... Yet the pure truth will always come to you from Me because I love you and also want to win your love. And love is truly stronger than hatred, and thus My greater than great love will also succeed in illuminating you as My living creations again, in igniting love in yourselves, and then the unification with Me will also come about one day, which is the purpose and goal of your earthly progress but which has to come about of your own free will, which is why you yourselves can prolong the time of separation from Me .... But I will always help you to take the path back to Me, and I will use all means which .... even if they seem painful to you .... are nevertheless based on My infinite love and will one day also lead safely to the goal .... For you came forth from My love and will also safely return to eternal love again ....

Amen

Supply of food and drink through the divine word ....

B.D. 8320 from November 4th 1962, taken from Book No. 87

I constantly supply your soul with food and drink, the nourishment it needs to become blissful, as soon as you come to My table, so that I may have supper with you .... I, as your God and creator of eternity, uphold everything that has emerged from My hand; I safeguard the life and existence of all My creations, yet I turn My greatest concern towards the beings which once fell away from Me and are therefore in an unhappy state until they have returned to Me again, which has to happen of their own free will, because the apostasy from Me also took place of their own free will .... And when this being on its return to Me has reached the stage of free will again .... which it regains after an infinitely long state in bound will as a human being .... I take special care of it, for at the beginning of its embodiment as a human being it is a miserable creature which needs My help in order to mature and shape itself such that I can accept it again and admit it into My kingdom of light and bliss. Thus it must constantly receive nourishment from Me, it must be fed and watered, for the soul of this returning being is .... sick and weak, it needs strengthening, it needs a healing medicine, it needs much love on My part which gives it everything it needs to mature until the death of its body. And My love also supplies it with everything, My love gives it the right nourishment every day, My love imparts strength and light to it so that it can recover and attain maturity which results in its union with Me, and then its earthly life will have been successfully completed .... that it can finally unite with Me again and be immeasurably happy again, as in the beginning. The daily nourishment offered to it by Me is My word, for as soon as I Myself address the soul it can be supplied with light and strength at the same time, and it need only voluntarily accept My gift of love and grace, it need only approach My table and let itself be fed and watered by Me, yet without My word it will not be able to mature, for just as the body requires food and drink for its structure, so does the soul .... only that it, because it is a spiritual being, also requires spiritual food. And spiritual nourishment can only be offered to it by Me Myself .... even if it does not receive it directly but is conveyed to it through My messengers .... But this nourishment always originates from Me, for it is strength of love which flows forth from the divine source and which inevitably helps the soul to attain perfection if it willingly accepts My gift .... if it listens to My word and also lives it out .... if it thus evaluates food and drink in the right sense. And because the soul .... once it has gone forth from Me .... can never pass away again, therefore its state shall also be a blessed one. It should not be a state of poverty and misery in which it cannot enjoy its being but it should be able to create and work in light and strength and freedom and must also be able to do so, thus it must have attained a degree of strength and light itself which makes it a divine being. And therefore it must always be in closest union with Me and establish this bond already on earth, which its free will must decide to do itself, but then light and strength will also flow to it unmeasured in the form of My word, which truly can be called bread from the heavens, a water of life, because it gives the soul everything it needs in order to reach perfection. This concern of My love prompts Me to constantly speak to it, to constantly convey My word from above, for all people are in such a state that they need direct help from Me .... They are all more or less in need of strong nourishment, and without such they cannot mature and thus achieve their purpose of earthly life .... Yet it depends on the willingness of each individual soul whether it accepts My food offered to it, whether it partakes of the supper with Me, whether it allows itself to be fed and watered by Me or turns down the invitation to come to My table and passes by a source of grace of My love .... But one day it will bitterly regret it when it has arrived in the kingdom of the beyond and will look over the many unused opportunities which its free will let pass by .... And it will never be able to make up for what it missed in earthly life, even though an ascent will still be possible for it but it will be far more difficult for it than on earth. But as long as the human being lives on earth I will offer him My word, for every soul shall be fed and watered, every soul shall be satiated which only desires nourishment in order to perfect itself ....

Amen

Freedom from the enemy only through Jesus Christ ....

B.D. 8321 from November 5th 1962, taken from Book No. 87

There is only one means to become free from all bondage, the voluntary turning to Jesus Christ .... the divine redeemer .... He alone has the power to give you freedom, for He paid your jailer the ransom for you and he can now no longer keep you bound if you desire freedom yourselves .... But the latter is decisive, for it is up to you yourselves which master you want to turn to .... But to remain with him also means to languish again in the captivity of the one who is without love and who only prepares an unhappy fate for you .... But if you want to become blessed again, as you were in the beginning, you must detach yourselves from him and hand yourselves over to Jesus Christ, you must accept His redemption and thus avail yourselves of all the blessings He purchased for you on the cross .... You must appeal to Him for strength of will, because this is necessary since the enemy of your souls had weakened your will and therefore the ascent to the height would be difficult for you if the divine redeemer did not give your will the necessary strength. He has overcome the adversary, He has wrested the souls of those from him who themselves want them to become free .... And He paid the purchase price for these souls through His death on the cross. The soul of Jesus of an original spirit who had not fallen .... pitied the great need of the fallen brethren, and offered Itself to God as a sacrifice of atonement to redeem their guilt .... The soul of Jesus, a pure being of light, descended to earth and took abode in the midst of sinful humanity in the will to bring freedom to this humanity, since it languished in the fetters of the adversary and was incapable of its own salvation .... But the path of a soul of light in the dark earthly world could not have been covered by it if it had not had love within itself which gave it strength, for love is strength .... Love, however, is also the primal element of God, the father, from Whom that spirit of light also emerged .... Thus He so arranged Himself as the human being Jesus that He was completely filled with love .... which also means that the eternal love Itself completely permeated Him and thus took abode in His human cover .... His body contained the eternal Deity Itself, Which can only be imagined as love .... And this love now accomplished the work of redemption on earth .... Love Itself redeemed the guilt by causing the man Jesus to sacrifice Himself for humanity in order to offer a work of atonement to the father through which they became free from that guilt .... Love therefore fought against the enemy and defeated him .... He had to hand over the captives, he had to set them free because the purchase price had been paid for them. And thus every person who accepts Jesus' act of salvation, who recognizes and acknowledges the father Himself in the divine redeemer and now freely turns his will towards Him, just as he once freely turned away from Him .... He only has to want to become free from the enemy of his soul and ask Jesus for help, he has to take the path to the cross himself with his guilt of sin and ask for forgiveness, then he will also be accepted and his guilt will be redeemed, he will have escaped captivity and been seized by Jesus Christ Himself, Who will also safely lead him into the kingdom of light which was previously closed to beings who became sinful through their apostasy from God. To become free from God's adversary is an exceedingly great grace which, however, the human being only needs to request because thereby he testifies to his will to be redeemed and to return to the father again .... And this will of his will will be complied with, for it is only about the change of will, it is only about the recognition of God in free will, which was once denied to Him. The adversary knows that he will lose his adherence through Jesus Christ's act of salvation, and therefore his constant endeavour will be to withhold the knowledge of it from people or to destroy all faith in it. And therefore God, in turn, constantly endeavours to convey the knowledge to people in all truth, so that people will now also correctly evaluate their freedom of will, so that they will recognize the meaning and purpose of the act of salvation and now consciously take the path to the cross, because it is the only path which leads to the gate of the kingdom of light, which only Jesus Christ can open .... But He has no other goal than to make people blissfully happy, and therefore He will time and again step into people's path and present His greater than great work of mercy to them .... And blessed is he who recognizes Him and gives himself to Him, for he will become free from every bondage, he will be able to get rid of every bondage because Jesus Christ Himself will loosen it for him in His love ....

Amen

“Do not worry about what you eat and drink ....”

B.D. 8322 from November 6th 1962, taken from Book No. 87

Again and again I would like to call out to you humans: Do not worry about what you will eat and drink and with what you will clothe yourselves .... but seek first the kingdom of God, everything else will be given to you .... You must never forget that you live on earth for a purpose: to take the path back to Me, which has to happen consciously by seeking Me Myself, by doing everything to unite with Me in order to establish the contact which characterises the relationship of a child to its father .... You shall seek Me Myself and My kingdom .... This is the only purpose of earthly life, because it is not about the well-being of your body but about the well-being of your soul, which is everlasting .... For this purpose I gave you existence as a human being, and therefore it is quite understandable that I will also sustain you, that I will cover all the body's needs if you give priority to the soul's needs, if you fulfil your true purpose of earthly life. I am your father and show you immense love which wants to make you happy for all eternity and which endeavours to ensure that you reach the degree of maturity on earth which will result in such bliss for you .... But I am also your God and creator .... I know what you need, not only spiritually but also earthly .... And if I have created you .... if I enable you to walk the earth as a human being, I will also see to it that you are ordered in such a way that you can fulfil your actual task .... I will not demand something from you for which the prerequisites are lacking .... For I know that your body needs many things in earthly life and I will truly give them to it .... But I only set one condition for this, that you first seek My kingdom, that your soul's task is of utmost importance to you and that you put the care for your body aside, so that you will now also experience the evidence of My fatherly love: that I take care of you and give you everything you need .... And truly, you could go through your earthly life completely carefree if you take this promise of Mine to heart and only fulfil My demand to remember the soul first .... And thus you must fulfil My will, which is repeatedly announced to you through My word: You must live in love, you must only ever try to overcome your self-love and perform works of love in complete unselfishness .... you must give, want to make your neighbour happy, do everything to help him or protect him from harm .... For if you practise love then you unite with Me, then you also establish contact with My kingdom where only love exists, where I Myself reign, Who is love .... And if you live in love then you will also live a life of justice, for you cannot help but give everyone around you what is due to him .... You will not tolerate injustice because it contravenes the commandment of love, you will completely enter into My will and then also be true aspirants of My kingdom .... But your earthly life will run smoothly because I Myself will take care of you and your physical life, because I will sustain you, nourish and clothe you, just as I take care of everything that exists in creation, because My nature is love, wisdom and power .... And should I not then also be able to take care of all your worries, since everything is possible for Me? .... believe it, that every promise of Mine will come true if only you also fulfil the conditions under which I have made a promise .... I truly stand by My word, and therefore you can also firmly rely on the fact that no worry needs to burden you as soon as it is only your endeavour to come closer to Me and My kingdom, as soon as you are only willing to do everything to enable your soul to mature on earth, for only for this purpose do you walk across earth .... And as soon as you establish the right relationship with Me .... the relationship of a child with its father .... I will also take care of you in a fatherly way and give you everything so that you will not need to live in want during your earthly life .... But if you don't observe My promise you will truly also be destined for a life on earth where you won't get out of worries and hardship. But then it is your own fault because you don't believe what I Myself promised you when I lived on earth, where I experienced everything Myself as a human being and therefore also knew about all your hardships which I wanted to remedy .... but then I also demand of you that you comply with My will and first strive for the maturing of your soul .... in order to then also receive everything your body needs ....

Amen

Sermons of love .... Suffering and hardship shall awaken love ....

B.D. 8323 from November 7th 1962, taken from Book No. 87

The fact that people pay so little attention to the commandments of love is not because they don't know about My will which only demands loving activity from them, but it is rather because they don't ignite the (smouldering) spark of love resting in them so that it becomes a flame .... It is because they are mostly only concerned about themselves, that their own ego is so important to them that they only turn their thinking, wanting and acting towards themselves, that they try to achieve everything for themselves that is available in terms of comfort. They are no strangers to the commandment of love for God and their neighbour, moreover, they also know from experience that a work of love has a beneficial effect on them, and they could therefore also give love to their neighbour out of their own impulse ..... Then the spark of love would also flare up in them, and that also means establishing a connection with Me, their God and creator of eternity. My adversary, however, has great influence on every person who has not yet released himself from self-love, and he will always influence the person to prevent him from practising love .... For then he will also prevent him from any kind of bond with Me, Who am love Myself. Therefore, his influence can only be counteracted if My commandments of love are preached to people time and again, if the effects of a right life of love as well as the consequences of a loveless life are presented to them, if they are admonished to educate themselves to consciously put their ego aside and to increase their care for their neighbour in all unselfishness .... For this reason the preaching of My gospel of love is of great importance, even though it is not gladly heard by those who persist in their self-love and thus are still completely under the influence of the one who is devoid of all love. Yet without love no human being can fulfil his earthly task, without love no human being can achieve perfection on earth, without love no human being can become blissfully happy, for without love he is a dead being, even though he still lives on earth as a human being. But he will lose this physical life and then his soul will enter the kingdom of the beyond completely dead, it will be powerless and completely darkened in spirit and therefore also wretched. It is only on earth for the sole purpose of changing its nature into love again, as it had been in the beginning when the essence came forth from Me .... And if the human being does not achieve this change in earthly life then he has travelled the earthly path in vain and can also sink back into deepest darkness again .... But only love can bring him success, for love is light, and in the light he will also recognize everything and know about My infinite love and wisdom, and he will try to unite with Me Myself in love. And therefore I can only try to persuade people to love through suffering and hardship so that they feel touched by their neighbour's adversity and help him or experience love themselves which awakens reciprocated love. For I cannot force anyone to love .... These commandments must be fulfilled in all freedom of will, for forced love is not love .... Yet every human being is capable of love because I place a spark of My eternal god-spirit .... in every human heart. My primal element .... and because it therefore only requires the will to kindle this spark. However, the fact that love has completely grown cold amongst people in the last days is also a reason for the turning point which will take place on this earth, for without love no human being will progress in his development, without love the purpose of earthly life will no longer be fulfilled, and thus the earth will have lost its purpose for people for whom it was intended to serve as a maturing station .... And therefore it will experience a total transformation so that the spiritual substances bound in the creations will also receive new deformations and can cover the course of development. But the last deformation on this earth will always .... the existence as a human being .... must achieve a transformation into love if the final purpose on this earth is to be achieved, if the soul is to attain that beatitude again which is its destiny and which is only ever possible through the transmission of love on My part ....

People's attitude towards Mary, the mother of Jesus ....

B.D. 8324 from November 8th 1962, taken from Book No. 87

I Am always willing to answer when you are moved by spiritual questions, for you, who are intended to spread the truth from Me, must also know the truth yourselves, you must be able to differentiate between error and truth .... And therefore a light has to be kindled where you are still dark in spirit, where ambiguity still exists .... For you should know that one misguided teaching will repeatedly lead to new errors .... Time and again explanations were given to you about people's attitude towards Mary, the earthly mother of My body, in the sense that she can certainly be called the most revered being in My kingdom of light to whom you humans may also grant your love yet always with the reservation that she, due to her high spiritual degree of maturity, dwells in My kingdom as a 'child of God', in which I Myself reign as God and Creator, as Father, as the primary source of light and strength, as the highest and most perfect spirit in eternity ....

Hence she, having been a living creation, returned to Me as My child .... whereas I Am the Creator Myself and therefore would like to receive unlimited love from you humans .... which you will also grant to Me when you have completely entered into My will and wholeheartedly yearn for unification with Me .... I want to possess this unlimited love of yours and all beings in My kingdom of light, who love Me just as intimately, will only ever endeavour to so influence people that they will turn towards Me .... But at no time ever will they encourage people's love to look for a different goal than Me .... which, however, happens when a being of light enjoys exceptional veneration from people which should only be given to Me .... And for this reason no being of light will ever appear to people in a way which will cause fervent worship. For an appearance like that would only strengthen a wrong teaching, such as the veneration of 'Mary, the mother of God' has to be regarded, which established itself in people.

I Myself would never encourage and support misguided teachings .... And since all beings of light have completely entered into My will and also know how such misguided teachings disadvantage the human beings' souls, no such attempt will ever be undertaken on part of the beings of light, but My adversary will indeed use precisely such wrongly directed faith and try to fortify it with apparitions of which he is the originator himself .... For as soon as he succeeds in diverting people's attention ever more towards 'strange gods' he is displacing Me Myself, Who wants to be the only goal of people's desire .... Using cunning and trickery My adversary will try anything in order to lead people into wrong thinking and, understandably, can work best where misguided teachings have already prepared the ground to receive his poisonous seeds ....

Time and again My love, wisdom and might revealed themselves by conveying My Word, so that people were introduced to the truth. And My adversary works in the same way by seeking to gain people's belief through announcing events which he is very well aware of .... And since I Myself cannot work directly in people who have built on his foundation he influences them through works of deception, and people don't recognise them as the adversary's work of deception since he does not shy away to appear in the disguise of one of the most elevated beings of light, because behind this mask he has access to them. The fact that in special cases spiritually fully mature human souls are capable of spiritual vision is not disputed, yet as soon as it concerns transmissions which are intended to be made to people on My part for the salvation of their souls it happens by way of a direct revelation through the spirit, but which then also involves the task of passing these revelations on to fellow human beings .... However, such revelations will never be given to underage children forbidding them to speak about them. From this alone people should deduce the originator of such apparitions .... During the time of the end My adversary has great power, and he truly uses it well ....

And his influence will also take root wherever error exists, the error will be ever more strengthened, and the fact that you humans are offered error is evidenced in that, time and again, precisely that being of light is placed into the forefront which would like to use all its influence only such that it will guide people towards Me as the divine Redeemer, because it knows in what bondage they languish and that they can only find deliverance through Jesus Christ .... Such apparitions, however, only ever succeed in providing extraordinary momentum for the adoration of God's mother .... which is also My adversary's will: that people create strange gods for themselves in order to worship them .... A large structure of lies has been erected and its walls keep getting ever stronger .... but which can only be destroyed by the pure truth which is conveyed from My side to earth .... And anyone who desires to know the truth will also clearly understand and be able to differentiate between lies and truth .... He will appeal to Me Myself for clarification, and I will truly not withhold the truth from him ....

Amen
