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.

Bertha Dudde was permitted to leave her earthly shell on September 18, 1965 to return to the Father’s heavenly house.

Where is God .... (Cologne misfortune and question)

B.D. 8812 from June 15th 1964, taken from Book No. 93

I want to give you the answer Myself to the question why I allowed it that you were so affected by sorrow and suffering, by worries and troubles, into which also you were put through that event: You are not able to recognize My love in it, and still I am moved by exceedingly great love towards you men, although I did not prevent the work of a man, who carried out an act on behalf of My opponent, which brought deepest suffering over men. But you all value earthly life too highly .... you all don't know that this earthly life was only given to you for testing your will, that you have to cover it as it were as the last station of an endless long earthly way, after the completion of which you can enter the spiritual kingdom completely free of every material fetter. But this earthly life is the most important thing to you; you live it only for the sake of earthly life itself. you don't think about whether you test your will right, whether you comply with the demands which I make on you .... especially when you practice external customs which are of no value in My sight. That is why I did not prevent the act of him who acted on behalf of My adversary, aware of the effect that the attention of many people would be directed towards it .... which already emerges from the question: "How could I allow this?" You shall come alive in faith .... I have no pleasure in a dead faith. But you live thoughtlessly; you do not seek truth, which alone can make you free. But now it is difficult to make clear to you how far a man can purify himself through unusual trouble and how short time still remains for all of you to reach this purification of your soul. Nor can it be explained to you humans, who are still completely without knowledge about the reason for your human existence on this earth, what great guilt you once had burdened yourselves with and that you therefore also have to find Jesus Christ in order to be released from this guilt .... but that you, as you now live along, possess no knowledge about His act of salvation .... that you certainly accept what is demanded of you to believe, but that this is no living faith .... a faith of which I Myself have said that you can then no longer die, that you will be redeemed through Himself, because He took all guilt upon Himself .... because I Myself became man in Him and thus redeemed the guilt for you .... I have to call all of you through such events. But believe it .... those who are affected by it do not suffer to the extent that fellowmen accept it. My favour is certain for them because they are only the victims of blinded thinking. But I address all men that they are to take a stand on that what was put before them as truth so far. And those who have gone over have sacrificed themselves, and they will also receive their reward. But you, who ask why God has allowed such events, deal with the thoughts yourselves, and do not deny Me the existence, because even if you do not recognize me as a God of love, so you still know a power over you, which directs your fate and determines your end of life. But believe it that my love is endless, that it includes everything and leaves out none of My creatures and also wants to lead all to eternal happiness. But which means I use .... and no matter how cruel it seems to you .... I achieve the purpose: that the soul purifies itself completely and it will thank me for it one day in eternity. As soon as you learn to see your earth life as a transition station and not as an end in itself, you can also understand My rule and work sooner. You also have to seriously believe in a survival of the soul .... and where is this belief still to be found in truth? Earth life means everything to you; you always live it in view of earthly successes; you do not live it out by taking care of your soul. And what you do for its sake are customs and forms, which are of no use to you, because you lack the inner union with Me. But anyone who has this will not question it either but surrender to his fate .... he will pray intimately to Me that I will help, and his prayer will be: 'Father, Thy will be done! .... "_>Amen

Observing the two commandments of God ....

B.D. 8813 from June 16th 1964, taken from Book No. 93

All you men whom I want to address, give ear to Me; do not let the words fall on your ears but listen to what I want to say to you: You will still often be startled, because My opponent rages, because he knows that he has not much longer time .... And you know what that means because the end is near where he will be bound for a long time. And I cannot let pass you by what is to bring you all to your senses .... I cannot resist My adversary because you yourselves give him the power, because it is your will alone that can hold him back from you .... and because you cannot call a living faith your own, which pushes you towards Me and I will then be there for you. Seriously think about how you stand by your God and creator. Do not be satisfied with externalities and forms, which are worthless to fulfil. But think about the relationship you have with Me, whether you can communicate with Me like with a father, for only then will I hear your call to Me if you pray in spirit and in truth. But I do not pay attention to a lip prayer, and even if you talk for hours and believe to honor Me thereby .... I only want to cause all of you to have a living faith, to have a close bond with Me, who is truly able to protect you from all harm and all attacks of My adversary. But through your lukewarm attitude towards Me you give My opponent the right to harass you in every way, and you then rightly ask yourselves: Where is your God and father, who does not protect you from his attacks? But you do not consider that he has power over the man who surrenders to him voluntarily .... and that I cannot dispute this right with him, because he has the same right over you, which you only cancel through your earnest will towards Me .... which sets limits for him and his work himself, which he cannot exceed, because this is the last decision of will, for the purpose of which you go over the earth .... I want to speak to all of you to inform you of the significance of earth life, to present to you the significance of a life in love towards Me and towards the neighbour, which alone makes you candidates of My kingdom. And if all of you would only observe these two commandments .... you would truly be exempt from all challenges on the part of the adversary, for he is powerless in the face of love. But love has grown cold among you, and that is why he has the upper hand, and he will harass you until the end. The two love commandments are the commandments, which I Myself have given on earth, which I have lived out and called upon you to follow .... And when you alone observe the commandments of love then you live according to My will, and I Myself would find the access to you and be able to address you. But instead of that you hold on to nonsensical forms and customs, which were still added to My love teaching on the part of man, which earn you no spiritual progress. But through it you make a direct address for My part impossible, and you do not believe that you are able to hear Me Myself, because the knowledge of it has got lost to you. But I have promised it to you with the words: "Who keeps My commandments, he it is who loves Me .... to him will I come and reveal Myself to him." He shall hear My word spoken from on high; he shall experience it, that "I abide with him unto the end of the world ...." They are not empty promises which I uttered when I walked on earth, for My word is and remains truth .... But who of you still takes such promises seriously? Who believes that My spirit works in a man who has shaped himself to love? Your faith is no longer alive .... And that is what plays into the hands of the opponent. And he will use his power, his right, because you are also his share as long as you do not devote yourselves to Me willfully, because you once came out of his will under use of My power, when he was not yet 'My opponent' .... He pulled you down to the abyss during his fall, and now I want to win you back again, but this is only possible if you give all your will and love to Me ...._>Amen

Exposure of misguided teachings is God's will ....

B.D. 8814 from June 19th 1964, taken from Book No. 93

It is My will that you should spread the truth, including the exposure of misguided teachings that have crept into My Word. This can only be done by confrontation with the pure truth. You must always ask yourselves who guarantees that My teachings, which are submitted to you, are the truth. You cannot simply accept human words as truth since you know that they can also be influenced by My adversary who is always interested in plunging humanity into confusion. If you really want to know the truth you will definitely receive the right answer providing you don’t want to live in error and request the answer from Me which I certainly won’t deny you. And first I will tell you that you have free will which may never be compelled ....I will point out to you that it may not be forced by either side, neither by good nor by evil influences, and that you are responsible as to how you have made use of this will. Hence every teaching which you are required to accept .... as dogma .... is against My will. You have the freedom to determine for yourselves what you want to believe and no human being can limit your religious freedom. You also have the right to evaluate different directions of faith and take what you agree with from all schools of thought ....

Therefore I will always speak to those people who want the pure truth because all others are not interested, they are indifferent whether truth is presented to them or not. They are satisfied with teachings which have been added to My Gospel by people but which could be recognised as completely absurd if people cared to investigate them. My adversary has tied a solid knot by forcing people into ‘obedience’ which has eliminated every personal religious opinion because no one dares to have their own point of view or believes it to be a great sin .... And here God’s will should come first .... Therefore I draw your attention to free will which you would have to dispute if you submit yourselves to human law ....

The ‘working of the spirit’ in the human being, the only means of receiving pure truth, is also unknown to you. You do not believe that ‘I Myself will guide you into truth’, and you reject all knowledge gained this way. But this alone is the truth and exposes many misguided teachings. However, as long as you bow to Satan’s commandment that you may not freely accept a teaching which you have recognised as right, as long as you cannot liberate yourselves from something that I Myself will never demand of you .... you will be slaves, completely without freedom. I Myself will force no human being to accept the truth who does not recognise it as such since I have given the human being free will.

You so often raise the objection that human beings have to be educated in one direction of thought .... In that case you should just keep to the two commandments which I Myself have taught people on earth .... Just teach them the commandments of love and you will indeed be doing whatever human beings need to attain maturity of soul .... Because now it will show who has the sincere will to live in love. And then he will experience the working of My Spirit within himself too, he will be introduced to truth, to the knowledge of the meaning and purpose of creation, to the knowledge of the meaning and purpose of life on earth, and above all to the motivation and significance of the act of Salvation by Jesus Christ without Whom no human being can achieve blissfulness.

You, however, are not living Christians .... Christians, who are successors of Jesus and completely convinced of the strength of the Salvation work .... Christians, who belong to My Church, whose founder I Am Myself ....otherwise you would also hear the voice of My spirit who would inform you of the many misguided teachings which find acceptance in the world and which I will always and ever fight against .... Because only truth will lead you to Me, and only through truth can you become blessed. And hence I will convey the truth to My helpers on earth again and again and at the same time give them the task to spread the truth in the world because the human being must live in truth if he wants to become happy ....

Amen

Forerunner ....

B.D. 8815 from June 19th 1964, taken from Book No. 93

I shall also clarify this question, as it is essential that you, who are receiving My Word, will not fall into error, for there are many who are believed to be the long awaited forerunner who will announce My coming .... But I keep telling you that he will come at the time of the Antichrist, that his appearance will coincide with that of the former, and that you will then also recognise him .... He will not be there for long and will appear when people need him most, when they need comfort and strength .... Thus you may expect him only when the final phase has begun .... when the natural disaster is over, when a ruler has seated himself on the throne whom you will clearly recognise as the Antichrist and who will cause the battle of faith to erupt. Then this messenger will come forward and clearly testify to Me and My kingdom ....

But don't assume that he will appear right now, for he is not yet aware of his mission .... However, when he does appear, everyone will recognise him by the power of his voice and his words. He will then not have the desire to be acknowledged as the 'voice in the wilderness' .... but that is who he is .... And he will speak, impelled by the spirit within himself, for his desire to bear witness of Me, to announce My coming and to motivate people to change direction will be so great that he will disregard all caution and speak in the midst of enemies intending to kill him .... But remember that the time of the end has not yet come, that there is still time to speak freely which, however, will soon change after My intervention has taken place, when the suffering of mankind will have become so great that someone will offer his help to control this great adversity .... But then My messenger's time will also have come, for he is the last of the prophets, and anyone who listens to him will receive tremendous strength. Yet you have been repeatedly told that he will be an inconspicuous man of whom you would not assume to have such power of speech while he lives his humble life.

But suddenly there will be a breakthrough in him .... all of a sudden he will realise his mission, and he will become a mighty orator on behalf of God .... who will proclaim My name throughout the world and not be afraid to argue in favour of My name. He will portray Me as the Saviour of mankind and fight for Me and My kingdom .... And you will recognise him by the fact that he will acknowledge Me as the Word that became flesh .... that he will distinctly emphasise My human manifestation in Jesus Christ, that he will not allow for any difference between Myself and Jesus, and that he will acknowledge that Jesus is God ....

And his words will fully concur with the teaching I conveyed to you from above. And that shows that he is 'John the Baptist, the voice of one crying in the wilderness', My forerunner, who has returned to announce Me, Who soon shall follow in order to fetch My Own when their souls are in utmost distress .... Time and time again there will be people imagining themselves to be the embodiment of John .... Time and again I will enlighten them and tell them that he will make himself known to them in an unusual way, and that he is not to be sought in the ranks of those who feel themselves to have been called .... He will appear where you will least expect him. And this shall suffice for you, who anticipate him prematurely, for the time has not yet come. However, it will not be long now, and then everything will happen in quick succession, for he will not have a long lifespan. He will pay for his work on earth with death as it is proclaimed in Word and Scripture ....

Amen

Faith comes alive through love ....

B.D. 8816 from June 21st 1964, taken from Book No. 93

All I can say to you is that you will only gain a strong and unwavering faith through a life of love, for love unites you with Me and subsequently will convince you of My strength which is at your disposal to use in accordance with your will. And thus you are constantly admonished by Me to shape yourselves to love so that you will once again adapt your nature to Mine, then all your abilities will return to you as well, which are merely buried within you waiting to break through again, depending on the degree of love you develop .... However, if you make use of My strength in the belief that this strength of Mine lets you cope with everything then your soul's degree of maturity is already high, and then it becomes evident what you can achieve, for I do not deny you My strength .... after all, I want to give you everything so as to help you become perfect and I take pity on you in your weakness. Nevertheless, I cannot work in you contrary to My eternal order .... This working simply requires a living faith which only comes alive through love. And this is the faith you need in order to cope with the onslaughts of the last battle, for only then will you prove whether you support Me or fall away when you are put under pressure ....

Even so, I will make sure that My Own will rely on Me, that their strength of faith will keep growing, that they will be able to draw strength from Me, Who will be so close to them that they can sense Me and no longer do anything without My instruction .... And then the strength of faith will reveal itself .... they shall receive what they need, be it earthly food that is denied to them by hostile forces .... or be it My Word which will strengthen them in abundance. Then their faith will be strong enough to profess Me before the world .... and thus they will also prove themselves in the last battle of faith, so that they will belong to the flock of those who will be lifted away, who believe that everything is possible which proves My existence. This is why they are not astounded by the process of the rapture, for their faith accepts everything that is beyond the law of nature, that is miraculous, and thus also the new earth with all the creations which did not exist on the old earth, whose magnificence and glory is incomparable.

Hence I have great expectations of those who want to be My Own: with the help of My Word they will still have to fortify their faith to a point that enables them to stand firm, for never before has a battle like this taken place on earth, and it will require much strength in order to endure it .... But I want to help you by speaking to you Myself and revealing My infinite love which only seeks to attract your reciprocation in order to provide you with the strength to remain steadfast. And the reward I promise you in return will be a life in the paradise of the new earth, a life in association with Me, Who can always be present where love exists since only love can be the foundation of a living faith .... This is why the first and last commandment will only ever be 'Love God above all else and your neighbour as yourself ....' Then you fulfil your earthly task and one day will be able to enter the kingdom of light and beatitude, and you will be able to behold God ....

Amen

God's mercy on the spiritual poverty of the world ....

B.D. 8817 from June 22nd 1964, taken from Book No. 93

Where My eye looks there I see the downfall, with exception of the few who believe in Me and whose senses are spiritually directed. But the majority no longer has faith in Me, why also earth life is useless and therefore has to be broken off, what I already saw from eternity and therefore could also determine the end. You men can no longer expect a spiritual ascent, and no matter whether always only few turn towards Me, but measured by the immense number of the rest, it is only a small part of those who stand firm in faith in Me and will pass the last faith struggle. And all who believe in My love, wisdom and omnipotence, who let Me speak to them .... All those whom I can instruct directly or through My messengers will receive strength from Me to endure the final battle. Yet My mercy applies to all others, for no matter what I undertake I will not succeed in persuading people to believe in Me, for people's 'wisdom' is too high, they do not recognize Me and place their worldly wisdom ahead of the believers' knowledge, they do not recognize anything which opposes this worldly wisdom. And My adversary has his accomplices everywhere who try to negate everything that is supplied to them as truth, who guide their intellect such that it will not accept anything that corresponds to truth. Through densest error men go there, but they also do not desire truth, and that is why it also cannot be offered to them .... The earth has stopped to serve its purpose, and that is why it must experience a total upheaval, which ends with the new banishment of men, who oppose Me, who fail in their last earth life test and are so far away from Me that they must again put back the course through material creation. And before that I will still fetch into the kingdom on the other side, who are not yet completely lost to Me, who are certainly weak in faith, who would not get through the last faith struggle. I still prove Myself to them as a benevolent God Who does not demand the last test of them because they would not pass it, but Who nevertheless gives them the opportunity in the beyond to still find Me there in Jesus Christ, Who alone can redeem their guilt of sin .... But to you men, who believe in Me, I will always send deeper revelations to you, because the time becomes more and more difficult, the opponent becomes more and more intrusive, and you truly need proofs of My love and favour; your faith is to be strengthened, and you are to experience unusual things and therefore recognize Me more and more clearly, so that it is easy for you to have a firm faith, which now will also withstand all challenges of the opponent. But whatever will come, you do not need to be afraid because provided with My power also the most difficult will become easy for you, but then you will exchange your earth life for life in paradise of the new earth, which is given to you to stay after the reshaping of the old earth, and you will receive the reward for the loyal holding out in the last faith struggle. But still seek to win; still seek to announce the gospel; still seek to supply Me with all who let themselves be won for Me and My word, because every soul will thank you, which you supply to Me, and every soul will be spared the fate of the new banishment, which is accessible to truth out of Me and then will also be overjoyed to have found the father in Me, who cares about every soul ....

Battle against error ....

B.D. 8818 from June 22nd 1964, taken from Book No. 93

You will have to fight hard against error for it has already infiltrated the whole world, and it could not be any different since God's adversary rules and endows a person's intellect in accordance with his own will. But since his thinking is already turned away from God he can be influenced by Satan who will always do so in order to spread darkness amongst people .... in order to extinguish the light of truth wherever he succeeds. It would be so easy to live within pure truth if all people let themselves be taught by God Himself, if He had access to all of them, in which case there would also be unity in people's thinking .... But as things stand there is great confusion, people are not aware that the purpose of their earthly life concerns the maturing of their soul. And all concepts have become confused .... There are only a few who can be offered the truth by God Himself so that their thinking is enlightened and they know the purpose of their earthly life ....

However, they are unable to get their message through and enlighten their fellow human being by offering them the pure truth from God and exposing the many misconceptions which darken their spirit. And not just there is the pure truth no longer recognisable .... Even in circles which want to serve God the adversary works, where possible, through people who still harbour traits similar to his own nature. They all strive for truth as well but do not approach God directly, they try to obtain it by indirect means .... they associate with beings in the universe which also still belong to the adversary and they lead people in the wrong direction again .... As long as God does not convey the truth to earth Himself, which can also happen through beings of light possessing full knowledge and God's consent to teach, the pure truth cannot be offered to people and time and again they will have to come to terms with misguided teachings.

Darkness fights against the light, and due to people's low spiritual level the darkness will triumph, for the end will be the new banishment .... Yet as long as God still speaks to people he also instructs the recipients to work for Him and the distribution of truth and to convey His Word to all who accept it .... You need not be afraid even if you meet with hostility, for He Himself is with you, He will guide you such that you impart the light to all those who urgently need it and want to know the pure truth. You, who are taught by God and receive the spiritual knowledge either directly or through His messengers, are fully aware of the spoilt teaching which no longer corresponds to the Words of Jesus Christ .... you were given the reasons why erroneous thinking has crept in .... But now you shall also pass on the pure teaching as it was imparted to you .... for the truth must establish itself .... anyone who receives it must also spread it and do everything possible to expose the error as the work of God's adversary. You will be helped in every way, for since it is His will, He will direct your thoughts in a way that people will receive what they need for the benefit of their soul. For error does not lead to Him and even if people entertain misguided thoughts .... even if they are good and do not sin consciously .... they will not gain beatitude in the beyond until they have recognised the pure truth and freed themselves from error and lies, for God Himself is eternal truth and He can only be found through truth. Error and falsehood can never ever lead a person to the goal .... to union with Him, to glorious everlasting life ....

Who believes in the long path before human existence ....

B.D. 8819 from June 24th 1964, taken from Book No. 93

Since your apostasy from Me eons of years have gone by .... this concept of time is incomprehensible to you but you can put an end to it now if you have the will to return to Me for good. You travelled this path dissolved into minutely tiny particles, and all creations first had to arise for you, which required an incredibly long time, until all particles came together again as the former original spirit that you were when you came forth from Me .... Every stage of your development included untold preliminary periods, no stage could be left out .... every flower, every animal had to be passed through, for you cannot see anything that hasn't taken on shape in your soul already .... Yet who will believe this? Who believes that you have covered an infinitely long time before your existence as a human being, and who lives up to the consequence of handing his entire will over to Me during this last stretch of the way of return into the Father's house and finally brings the long time of his development to an end?

You can only believe it all, but then you will do your utmost in order to reach the end .... the release from the form. Yet who can disprove what you learn from Me directly? Who can better explain the meaning and purpose of earthly life? And why do you believe the one who presents life as an end in itself? Because you are shrouded in spiritual darkness which is My adversary's doing who instigated your apostasy from Me .... And this spiritual darkness can only be lifted if I give you the right explanation, but in order to respect your free will I leave it to you as to whether you accept it. And if I put it to you that you will be banished again into hard matter, if I warn and admonish you to seek release from the last shackle then it should indeed prove My love for you, since I want to win all of you, My children, back again .... But you don't believe it; you would rather believe that you will completely cease to exist after your physical death .... You will indeed pass away but not in your spiritual substance, instead your consciousness will be taken away from you again but your soul will travel the very painful path of higher development once more ....

Oh, if only you believed, if only you realised that you are immortal and that everything will be placed again where it belongs according to its degree of maturity, that you can liberate yourselves from every physical form and at last .... after an infinitely long time .... return into your Father's house again, that you only have to apply your will during the short lifetime on earth for your soul's final purification. Then you would truly do whatever it takes, for the glories waiting for you in the kingdom of the beyond are without equal .... But what makes you so certain that everything will be over with this life? Who can prove this to you? You counteract My revelations with your own reasoning. Your intellect, however, is subject to My adversary's influence if your thinking does not strive towards Me. Hence there is great spiritual darkness for he will keep you spiritually blind so as not to let you find the path to Me. And I can only be noticed by you through unusual events which have an adverse effect on you, and blessed is he who will then still come to believe in Me, who wants to find out the truth. I will reveal Myself to him and help him gain realisation. For I take pity on all My living creations who would be able to liberate themselves from their bondage but, due to their weak will, My adversary will not set them free and they cannot release themselves without the flow of strength from Me .... which, however, I cannot give to them as long as their will opposes Me ....

Amen

Every being must want to be redeemed ....

B.D. 8820 from June 25th 1964, taken from Book No. 93

I have borne the guilt for you and thus brought you proof of My greater than great love, which did not want to lose you to My adversary. As a human being I suffered and endured immeasurable things because your guilt was immense but which you yourselves could not have atoned for, because your guilt consisted of the fact that you, standing in the brightest light .... rebelled against Me and rejected My love. This sin, which was directed against eternal love Itself, could only be redeemed again through 'love', but you were no longer able to do so because you lacked love. And you would have been hopelessly at the mercy of the opposing power if a being had not made this atonement for you .... a being Which glowed with love for Me and out of this love took pain and suffering upon Itself for you .... so that you would become free from your original sin .... This being descended from above to you humans, It took on flesh and became "human" like you .... It was Jesus Who sacrificed His life to Me in order to buy you free from the one who held you in bondage. This is already sufficiently known to you all, that I Myself could take abode in Him, that He .... as pure love .... Myself involved in Him, that the „love“ sacrificed Itself, thus I Myself accomplished (suffered) the death on the cross, yet I had to make use of a human shell in order to be able to endure the suffering, in order to make the great atonement, since I, as 'God', was incapable of suffering. But one thing must not go unmentioned, that the act of salvation has certainly been accomplished for all people, but that the human being himself must also accept it, that he can also let millennia pass until this act of salvation has an effect on himself. For it must be accepted voluntarily; it is offered for all times, for the past, for the present and for the future .... But always first the recognition of the sacrifice of the cross belongs to it, the putting oneself under the cross of Christ, to now also be able to have an effect. It requires the will of man himself to be redeemed by Jesus Christ, otherwise he will take his guilt over into eternity and there, if he does not find his way to Jesus, he will sink deeper and deeper and again goes towards the new banishment. The original guilt cannot be redeemed by the being itself, and whether also eternities pass over it .... That is why the recognition of Jesus Christ as God's son and redeemer of the world is the most important thing in earth life. And that is why a living faith is demanded of it, which only very few men possess. And this faith will become weaker and weaker, so that a 'redemption through Jesus Christ' will only be called a legend, which no man takes seriously anymore. And so many still unredeemed souls go over into the kingdom on the other side, and they must find their 'redeemer' there, otherwise they take the way into darkness to again start the walk through creation. Again the light comes into the darkness .... again I approach people in the word in order to make clear to them the great significance of the act of salvation .... And again men do not accept the light .... and the number of the enlightened will no longer increase very much. But those who have a living faith in Jesus Christ and his work of redemption will truly also draw the power out of My word, which they need in the last faith struggle, and they will also recognize him, because they are already redeemed from their original sin. Their earthly progress was not unsuccessful, they recognized Me in Jesus, and their former sin is forgiven them, for once they did not want to acknowledge Me and consequently became sinful .... But I Myself took their sins upon Myself and died for people in order to redeem them ...._>Amen

Addressing the vineyard labourers .... Urgency of spreading the Word ....

B.D. 8821 from June 26th 1964, taken from Book No. 93

Every day you grant Me by undertaking spiritual work will be blessed, and your reward will truly not be small .... Yet you should not work for Me for the sake of reward, instead, your love for Me and your fellow human being should inwardly impel you to do so. You are unable to assess the immense spiritual adversity, but it is known to Me and I will guide you to wherever I still know there is a person who would be touched by receiving My Word so that you can inform them of My love, wisdom and power, of My longing for them and My constant willingness to help .... You should eagerly support Me, and even if only a few listen to you .... but each one of them will speak on My behalf and mention My Words again. For he will be knowledgeable, he will kindle a light within him and understand and will no longer want to miss My Word .... And these people will live in truth .... But they will also know that it is the truth which they receive from Me through you. For this reason only rarely will one of them fall away because they were serious about receiving the truth. But I do know where My pure Gospel can be conveyed to, who will accept it with a grateful heart .... And with My Word I Myself Am with everyone who receives it. Since I Myself will then be able to address him Myself through you, I can also answer every question they inwardly ask which will brightly enlighten their thinking and the origin of their mental knowledge, along with My Word, will become their innermost conviction .... they will no longer doubt and gratefully accept everything from My hand. And believe that no work will be done in vain .... for countless souls in the kingdom of the beyond can join in wherever My Word is read .... A circle of souls gathers around every person and they are all offered the bread of Heaven so that they will be able to nourish themselves with the food I Myself have in store for them. And thus you can also work in this kingdom where countless souls derive strength from this nourishment. Hence all those of you who take part in distributing these writings are doing redemptive work, and every labourer will receive his reward .... However, you must not tire, for the distribution of My Word will become increasingly more urgent the closer it gets to the end. And your task will become increasingly more difficult. As a result of the ever-increasing lack of faith .... fewer people will be willing to listen to you. Yet this should not dishearten you, for each individual soul is a gain for Me, therefore you should seek to attract them with all your love, try to deliver them from spiritual darkness and constantly request strength from Me. Truth can achieve a lot, no person can close himself to the truth .... providing he is still of good will, providing he still accepts Me and wants to know the truth about Me .... You are in possession of the truth from Me .... Distribute it wherever you can and don't let failures discourage you .... I want to bless you on earth already and later in eternity, where all work for Me will find its reward ....

Amen

Correction of misguided teachings ....

B.D. 8822 from June 27th 1964, taken from Book No. 93

Truth does not remain pure once it is spread amongst imperfect humanity, which I had foreseen and therefore spoke the Words 'I will guide you into truth ....', although merely a firm will would suffice to keep it pure. But people do not muster this will .... And divine gifts will be especially devalued by the adversary's influence. It can always be safely assumed that My revelations will not remain unchanged either, especially when worldly interests are involved, when people do not exclusively serve these revelations with the firm intention of protecting them against adverse influences. And thus My pure Word can be sent to earth time and again, it will not remain pure, because there are too few spiritual helpers, and if My divine Word gets into the hands of worldly minded people it can be expected to be contaminated again. Therefore it is always necessary to convey the pure truth to earth again ....

And for this I choose the right vessels, people who prepare themselves for the reception of My flow of spirit, who give Me the assurance that they will accept the truth without resistance .... who do not oppose it with their own opinions and who fulfil their task correctly .... and who are also distributors of My divine truth. They will also have the gift of recognising error which, as a work of My adversary .... thus under the cover of piety, is given to people as truth in the same way.

I cannot contradict Myself, and neither can I make use of a person who denies My act of Salvation and My human manifestation in Jesus, who thus allegedly speaks to a person as 'Jesus' being an 'ascended master' .... A misguided doctrine is being fostered in all these human beings, which does not correspond to My divine teaching. But My chosen vessel recognises all correlations and cannot be deceived. And since the beings of light, who work on My instruction, will only teach you what is My will .... since they impart the same flow of strength and light which emanates from Me Myself, their spiritual information has to be the same too, or you would have to doubt its authenticity.

I will always and forever expound the divine teaching of love, as I did on earth, and explain to people the consequences of a life of love as well as the disadvantages of non-compliance with My commandments, because this is the meaning and purpose of earthly life after all .... And time and again you will be told about the cause of your earthly existence .... The knowledge of all correlations is all-inclusive and explains everything, you will recognise therein My love, wisdom and might, and will be able to strive towards unity with Me. That is all I ask for.

The fact that My pure Word was repeatedly spoiled forces Me to repeatedly pronounce My will too, yet its truth is guaranteed as long as I can still use a vessel serving Me voluntarily and as long as servants assist Me in spreading the pure truth. And while this is so, misguided doctrines, which are always close at hand and endanger the pure truth, can be refuted.

I will always bless the will of those who strive for pure truth, I will enlighten their thoughts so that they will recognise the truth .... but it is also essential that they take the path to Me. They must not entrust themselves to beings they call upon for help, for they don't know whether these are authorised by Me to teach you. Thus they do not know whether they are being taught the truth.

The act of Salvation and its reason is evidence that you have found the right source, but if this is only mentioned in passing, if it is not the essence of a message from above, you should have misgivings, for I gave you the criterion Myself 'Test the spirits whether they are of God .... a spirit who confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is of God ....' And this teaching is the most important, this is what matters: that you find salvation through Jesus Christ, only He can take the original sin from you .... For He and I are one, you have to acknowledge Him as your God and Creator in order to unite with Me eternally ....

Amen

Manifestation of the eternal God-spirit ....

B.D. 8823 from June 29th 1964, taken from Book No. 93

When I walked across earth an upheaval took place for the whole spiritual world, for it was an act which had an effect in the whole universe .... the manifestation of the eternal God-spirit, Who wanted to make Himself visible to all His beings .... Who, however, was not visible to all His creatures until I Myself had taken on flesh and dwelled as a human being in the midst of people .... This incarnation in Jesus was intended from eternity, for I knew the desire of My creatures that they desired to see the one from Whom they had taken their origin .... But the beings, even without seeing Me, should know about their origin, and that is why I demanded My recognition from them, but which they refused in favour of their producer, which therefore resulted in their apostasy from Me. And only now I fulfilled their desire and came to earth in Jesus as visible God, after He gave Himself so to Me that I could fill Him completely with My love power. But now Jesus is and remains for all creatures the eternal God-being, and not only the earth inhabitants, but all My creatures see Me Myself in Him, because although I have taken up residence on this earth in a human form, so also the inhabitants of the other celestial bodies and all inhabitants of the kingdom of light bow before that soul, which received the highest God-spirit in all fullness. Jesus is therefore the ruler of the universe, He is God and will eternally be for the beings the embodiment of Him, Who called you into life, Who created everything, for He is love in Himself, and from Him all came forth what is .... And all worlds, all beings in these worlds could see the work of redemption. And since these beings were also in more or less great debt .... otherwise they would not have been transferred to the different celestial bodies .... they, too, must let themselves be redeemed by Him and acknowledge Him as Son of God and redeemer of the world, in Whom I embodied Myself. And from this you will see that He truly has an exceptional position, that He cannot be counted among the 'ascended masters', that He must always and forever also be acknowledged by the inhabitants of other worlds as the one Who received Me Himself into Himself, as the one Who truly and truly is and remains God. All beings of the universe therefore pursued My earthly change, and yet they knew that I looked after them, for the deity was in Me and yet worked outside of Me in all Its strength. only that It had created a vessel for Itself in Me which was receptive for It, which thus became visible to the spiritual, which already possessed a degree of maturity and was able to see spiritually .... The beings of light also followed My course on earth and yet remained in constant contact with Me, Who constantly supplied them with strength and light .... For I was everywhere and am also now everywhere in the spiritual kingdom and also in those places which have not yet become receivers of light .... Because also these first have to accept the favours of the work of redemption to become free from their guilt. And My name will always be and remain: Jesus Christ .... the God-spirit embodied in Jesus .... and Who will be the same in all worlds, whether these are still of a material nature or already the spiritual kingdom full of light. Under His name I shelter Myself, Who I am from eternity to eternity .... under His name you humans can address Me Myself, I will always hear your voice and answer you .... and in Him I am visible to you face to face .... I incline towards you who desire to be addressed by Me, and your God and father speaks to you in Jesus Himself ....

(6/29/1964) Thus you know what to think of communications from outer space which do not acknowledge Him, which thus draw a line between the earthly realm and their own world .... All beings of light have been informed of My human manifestation in Jesus, a visible deity has arisen in Jesus, and all beings of light could now behold Me face to face .... The great spirit of God had surrounded Himself with a human cover and kept this cover for eternity. This fact cannot be denied, and that is why all 'ascended masters' must profess the same, and no matter how high they are in their development otherwise they are not entitled to call themselves so .... This problem of My becoming human cannot remain hidden from them, they must .... if they want to teach the pure truth .... also be instructed by the spirit within themselves and acknowledge My human manifestation in Jesus. This applies both to the inhabitants of other worlds, who announce themselves mediumistically, as well as to men, who on earth reckon themselves to be high spiritual leaders, who are also again instructed by such from the spiritual kingdom, who however do not have Me Myself as master teacher, who would certainly report to them about My becoming man in Jesus. For even if the human being has no knowledge .... if his religious knowledge moves in other directions .... My spirit will certainly inform him, and there is no other explanation for it than that which corresponds to truth. For I alone hand out truth; I withhold it from no-one, but I can only ever offer it where people willingly listen to Me and My word. Where My spirit can work in man, also outside of human knowledge, there purest truth can penetrate, as it is my will ...._>Amen

Other religions’ attitude towards Jesus Christ ....

B.D. 8824 from July 2nd 1964, taken from Book No. 93

Time and again you will ask yourselves why I don’t convey the knowledge of Jesus and His act of Salvation to those who seriously strive for perfection but belong to other schools of thought? Why they don’t accept the belief in His mission and yet their striving to achieve perfection in this life already cannot be denied .... They recognise a supremely wise, loving and powerful entity above themselves and seek to gain its favour through self denial, through asceticism and labours of love for their fellow human beings; they are also willing to accept a most arduous earthly life for the sake of their perfection, yet they generally isolate themselves from people. They, too, have knowledge of Jesus, if only at first of the man Jesus, Who had to sacrifice His life on the cross, therefore it is not a matter of lack of knowledge .... It should be their duty to investigate Him, especially if they want to present themselves as teachers of other people when they, due to their knowledge, occupy a position of superiority. For they also know the process the man Jesus Christ had to endure purely as a human being.

When a being of light without original sin incarnates on earth .... for the purpose of a mission .... it will also know of Him. People who are interested in self-redemption should give serious thought to this problem as well .... I will always support them in this since they have already relinquished all opposition to Me. Their original sin can only be redeemed by Jesus Christ, but anyone with a genuine desire for Me will not find it difficult to come to this realisation, since I Am, after all, solely concerned with conveying the purest truth to people ....

Thus I speak of those with a reputation of wisdom and whom people should use as an example .... who can be clairvoyant at will and who have the gift to move about outside their body .... but who could also recognise the mission of the man Jesus Christ if they wanted to .... for I will always let them become aware of the truth. But in spite of their desire to achieve utmost perfection they do not want to know this particular truth. Consequently, Christianity will find little support even there and My human manifestation in Jesus will not be acknowledged either: However, beings of light are also embodied everywhere, especially during the last days before the end .... And they can be informed by My spirit about the significance of Jesus Christ’s act of Salvation .... For they bring the Gospel to people and make them aware of the strength of love, the true succession of Jesus, Who had to go through love and suffering before He accomplished the act of Salvation .... And corresponding to their love people will be assessed .... And people who live in love will easily awake to the truth, and they will acknowledge Me in the kingdom of the beyond, when they have left the valley of earth and then appeal to Me for forgiveness of their original sin ....

Amen

Addition to Yogi - message ....

B.D. 8825 from July 4th 1964, taken from Book No. 93

It is inconceivable to you that a being of light embodied on earth might not be able to fulfil the mission for which it lived on earth .... Every being has its own free will which I do not compel by any means. And thus, the being of light will also be able to study the doctrines of its religion even if they vastly contradict the truth, which it receives through its own illumination although it is by no means forced to accept these insights .... The being of light came to earth as a human being, and as a human being it has to struggle with existing misguided teachings too, which it could certainly recognise as such, but its free will has to be respected if it refuses to do so. For precisely because these humans are highly educated, because they even know the mysteries of creation but believe that they had acquired their knowledge themselves, they feel entitled to indisputable acknowledgment by those who want to be instructed by them ....

However, since they represent a completely different school of thought which rejects the belief in Jesus Christ, it is not unusual for these beings of light to fail on this specific point .... they can indeed initiate their students into everything they accept themselves but they do not fulfil the task of proclaiming Jesus Christ's act of Salvation .... apart from a few who completely detached themselves from their school of thought and through inner experiences then received the grace to become completely convinced of Jesus' Divinity. The earthly progress of those beings of light did not result in ultimate perfection, nevertheless, a being of light cannot fall again but it can offer to repeat the earthly path time and again. In addition, incarnated beings of light on earth are without past memory .... thus they believe themselves to be on earth for the first time, or they accept a repeated embodiment as consequence of their religion, which may well be justified .... but they adamantly reject the thought of salvation, they believe in self-redemption through their own will and own strength. This attitude prevents them from speaking on behalf of Jesus Christ and My human manifestation in Him. However, their will is free and with it the spiritual knowledge they pass on and .... since it encourages the human being's own effort as well as his self-denial, his struggle against himself .... it can also be beneficial, but it ignores the most important problem .... the redemption through Jesus Christ.

Nevertheless, there is a danger that people with knowledge of Jesus Christ adopt their ideas .... that they sacrifice their own knowledge in favour of mentors from other countries .... that they forfeit what they owned, that they even allow themselves to be instructed by 'spirit guides' who passed over into the beyond in ignorance. For even in the beyond their will remains free as long as they inwardly reject the thought that Jesus occupied a special position, that He sheltered Me Myself within Himself .... But this happens very seldom, since the beings of light rather quickly gain the true knowledge ....

However, anyone who makes himself known as an 'ascended master' is merely using this name to deceive you, because I will only instruct you through the spirit which conveys purest truth to you. Teachers who instruct you on My behalf are not authorised by Me to impart their names to you, the others, however, only pass on their knowledge to people in a state without willpower, in a state of mediumship, which does not offer any guarantee that you are controlled by good spirits .... Time and again your attention is drawn to the fact that only My spirit teaches the truth and that it will not let you go astray, and the evidence for this is Jesus' act of Salvation and My human manifestation in Him. Only that is your guarantee for truth ....

Therefore I caution you against accepting information from those who undeniably have utmost intellectual knowledge and can enlighten you about mysteries of creation, if they do not have knowledge about Jesus and His act of Salvation. Then you, who had knowledge and surrendered it on their account, will regress. They are too absorbed in their religion but their will is free and I do not force them either, although they descended to earth for a purpose of a mission: to spread the truth .... However, they will discover this truth as soon as they pass away from this earth and then they will also be able to convey it from above ....

Amen

Believe Me that I will not let you live in error if only you are willing to accept the pure truth. This is of utmost importance, especially at this time, because almost no-one thinks correctly anymore, because everything diverts from the truth no matter what people are teaching. And even if you can only impart My spiritual knowledge to a few .... it will shine like a light in a dark night, and people who are addressed by Me directly or through messengers will feel happy in its radiance. And thus few people live in this pure truth and they will also believe you. They will know that it could only have been received through the working of the spirit, that a direct connection exists from Me to you and that they can fully endorse the results. But contacts also exist to the spiritual world which you should regard with caution .... The human being's resolve to investigate supernatural things can easily put people at risk of receiving information from this supernatural world which will no longer enable them to make a distinction between truth and error. And time and again I say to you: if you are not educated by My spirit, which will guide you into truth, then don't believe every spirit who speaks to you .... I indicated to you in the Book of Books that I will reveal Myself to you .... I told you that you all have to be educated by God, Who will then guarantee you the purest truth! But where is it written that I will choose different paths in order to convey the pure truth to you? Even if I let you take the path via spiritual beings who are meant to convince you of the immortality of your soul, they, too, will time and again refer you to the working of My spirit in the human being and first try to motivate you into establishing a heartfelt bond with Me, so that your God and Father Himself will be able to teach you .... And He will guide you into truth .... As to whether this will subsequently happen directly or through His messengers of light does not affect the knowledge which I impart to you Myself. And there is always a danger if instructions from the world of the beyond are given to you which are impossible for you to confirm, for this world is still governed by My adversary who tries to spread error to the same extent, wherever it is possible for him .... And you cannot apply any other guideline but the attitude demonstrated by this spirit towards Jesus Christ. You can give credence to those who profess Him as Redeemer of the world, in Whom I embodied Myself, in which case you are being addressed by one of My appointed servants from the kingdom of the beyond whom I will then send to you if you are still unaware of the 'working of My spirit within the human being' .... But he will undeniably inform you of it, so that you can enter into contact with Me with an awakened spirit in order to be further instructed by Me.

If such a circle has therefore come together with the sincere desire for truth, then people will also be taught by guides from the beyond, yet first of all they will be presented with Jesus Christ's act of Salvation, He Himself will be described as 'God of eternity' and then you will also recognise this spirit as a bearer of truth and comply with its instruction to consciously establish contact with Me. I would definitely not place an aversion against these 'spiritual guides' into the heart of those of you .... who want to be My Own .... if they worked in accordance with My will too, if they did not spread error. There is such intense counter activity apparent, but it will only ever affect those who do not harbour the strong desire for truth in them, who are content with a communication from the spiritual world but who do not think of the One Who accomplished the salvation sacrifice on your behalf and they therefore can also be misled. If only all of you would believe in Him, in His crucifixion and My human manifestation in Him, then your thinking would be enlightened and nothing wrong would be able to come to you from the beyond. But, instead, people content themselves with wrong reports which are of no value to them. What I ask of people consists of just a few words: Love for Me and for their neighbour .... For then they will awaken their spirit to life, then they will sincerely unite with Me, and then I will also be able to guide them into more profound knowledge .... into the knowledge of their origin and apostasy from Me, into the knowledge of My plan of return. And then the realisation they had lost due to their sin of apostasy will be revealed to them .... They will discover the great error which is prevalent in the world and its correction which, however, can only be received if I Am able to express Myself through the spirit .... Hence you should first strive to awaken the life of the spirit, and it will guide you into truth .... rivers of living water will flow out of your belly .... you will all be taught by God and all the promises will fulfil themselves, which will remain incomprehensible to you as long as you are spiritually still unawakened ....

Amen

God's guidance in every situation in life ....

B.D. 8827 from July 9th 1964, taken from Book No. 93

I need you, and therefore I will not make any of My servants unfit for the reception of My word from above .... I need you, because only few are willing to serve Me as receiving vessel. I send My ray of love uninterruptedly into the universe, all beings who are willing to accept it I can now address .... But on earth the darkness is so great, and it is so necessary that exactly men hear My word, so that I bless everyone who wants to serve Me .... (9.7.1964) But you are to always submit yourselves into My will, because everything what I let come over you serves your maturing and the ever more intimate contact with Me. You need not worry, but hand everything over to Me. I will take the worries from you, even if it seems as if they burden you yourselves. My will is everything, sorrow, joy and also vexations, which concern you. And whether you also believe to have to do something yourselves .... you are still dependent on Me, and as it is My will, so it happens. But I also acknowledge it when you make an effort to spread My word, and I will also bless you. But My opponent wants to extinguish the light, which you are to radiate, and his power is great, but it is not enough to put Me out of action. And whatever he will do to stop your activity for Me .... I allow it up to a certain limit to also test My servants, but I do not give him the power over you, who are active for Me and seek to fulfil My will. Only do not let yourselves be put into unrest because this is his intention, which you have to oppose .... He can do nothing against My will, and whether he also seeks to undermine truth .... it nevertheless breaks through and will nevertheless assert itself and lead into knowledge all those who recognize My word as such, whom I therefore can address through you. That is why I want to fill you with My spirit that you announce that you carry My word out into the world, and what you undertake, that I also want to bless. But do not worry too much, for I direct everything as it should be .... place yourselves in My hands in complete trust, and be certain that I will direct everything for the best, that I know about everything and that your worry is also Mine ...._>Amen

Scrutiny of spiritual knowledge presupposes bond with God ....

B.D. 8828 from July 11th 1964, taken from Book No. 93

Only that which originates from Me can lay claim to be the purest truth. Nevertheless, it is certainly difficult to establish as to what has originated from Me if you solely rely on your intellect, even if you strive spiritually and want what is right .... But why do you accept the spiritual knowledge of those who cannot be verified by you, when a clear answer from above is conveyed to you? Make contact with your God and Creator, sincerely appeal to Him for the truth and, truly, you will not remain without a reply .... However, I must demand this sincere will to appeal to Me for support every time you scrutinise spiritual knowledge. You can receive My answer in the most simple way, you need not mull it over and do research or adopt other researchers' points of view who gain their results by intellectual means. A connection exists between the spiritual kingdom and Earth which you should use by requesting clarification from Me.

And I Myself will give you the answer or send it to you through a being of light which is instructed by Me to educate you .... thus, the answer will always be from Me Myself. However, I do not contradict Myself, My Word will forever remain without alteration, on account of which one can construe that opposing sources are at work as soon as a contradiction is found. But one thing is certain: I only judge the human being according to the degree of love he attains on earth .... Then everyone will instantaneously gain realisation on his departure to the spiritual kingdom, if he has not found it on earth as yet. The right kind of love could well have given him light on earth, yet he lacked faith that the Being Which had created him would speak .... Hence he did not listen within .... But people's way of life could have been so much easier had they been enlightened, had they simply kept to My Word, which would have explained to them all events in the spiritual kingdom, and thus they would also have been able to understand the reason and significance of Jesus Christ's act of Salvation .... For this doctrine is the most important, it cannot be portrayed as insignificant, for the whole of eternity depends on it .... But how far people have distanced themselves from it already, how unimportant it is for them and the paths they are taking in order to provide themselves with a different solution .... how gladly they accept the teachings of other schools of thought in order to forget the 'thought of redemption' .... how willingly they try to describe the 'human being Jesus' as an accomplished master only because they don't want to associate Him with the 'idea of God', is indeed worrying in itself, after all, it prevents many people from regarding Him as the divine Redeemer, without Whom no human being can become blessed. Each individual person's striving, who makes an effort to liberate himself from all negative characteristics, who, for the sake of a higher goal, fights against himself, who therefore strives towards 'self-redemption', should certainly be acknowledged; however, he is still burdened by the original sin from which he can only be released by Jesus Christ. Yet I solely judge the human being according to his degree of love, and thus he will also suddenly gain realisation at his departure from earth, if he previously had no opportunity to be informed of the teaching of Christ .... Then he will place himself under His cross and accept Him, therefore, no person needs to be lost who did not find Him on earth if only he lives a life of love, which will grant him sudden realisation. No person who lives in love can go astray .... Even so, it is far better if he still accepts the truth on earth, which shows him the path and explains the meaning and purpose of earthly life to him, because a great battle is being waged on earth between light and darkness, and this signifies a danger for a weak person and I want to help him by imparting My Word to him. And everyone who takes it seriously will also recognise Me as the Giver of the spiritual information which enlightens you about your origin and your goal, about all secrets of creation and My eternal plan of Salvation ....

Amen

Pretended worship ....

B.D. 8829 from July 14th 1964, taken from Book No. 93

The importance of enlightening you regarding the contamination of the doctrine which is supposed to come from Me is shown by the fact that people who mainly observe human additions are ignoring My teaching. Time and again I have to stress that only the doctrine of love is the essence of My Gospel. As soon as you realise that the sole purpose of your earthly life is your transformation to love, you will understand the significance of My teaching of love and liberate yourselves from all ceremony which, in My eyes, is nothing but ceremony, worthless formality. How much time people spend with pretended worship, performing everything from habit, displaying their undeniable spiritual decline, not making the least effort to practice love .... the only commandment I taught humanity as I walked across the earth. And the reason for this is that love has grown cold amongst people ....

What, then, is the use of such 'divine service' where you fulfil duties which I cannot value? And you believe you can make up for all your heartless actions by more eager church going and fulfilment of performances invented by men. You believe that you think and act righteously, and yet you are mistaken, for there is no one among you who listens to the voice of the spirit. This is the case because you are exposed to adverse influences causing you to refrain from forming your own opinion, thus preventing you from finding the truth .... and thus you, who describe yourselves as leaders of people, are preventing them from allowing the spirit to work within them. For what the spirit would teach a person is quite contrary to your system, and you call him a heretic whilst, in fact, he is My disciple, called to bring the truth to people and chosen by Me as a vessel for the reception of My spirit in order to reveal this truth to you.

You humans should only turn towards love, you should fight the love of self and always just practice the love for your neighbour .... Then you will experience a blessing that is supreme .... Your thinking will be right, your spirit will teach you from within and you will free yourselves from all wrong doctrines. You will seek solitude more often and receive a richer blessing than by the 'divine service' in which you now participate. However, he who has love will also recognise the error as human work, except he believes in it so profoundly and lively that I shall not destroy such faith .... which will bring him so close to Me that he will want to do everything he believes to be good before My eyes. But then I will judge such people according to the degree of their love and will give them sudden enlightenment as they depart from this earth.

However, such people are scarce, most merely observe customs while their faith is dead .... It cannot come alive because they lack love, which quickens faith. Although I keep preaching love from above, humanity has become so unspiritual that they do not listen to what I have to say to them. And thus they will perish on Judgment Day, for no one can attain beatitude without love ....

Amen

God wants His Word understood differently ....

B.D. 8830 from July 16th 1964, taken from Book No. 93

When you compare the pure truth, which is conveyed to you from above, with those teachings which until now were known as My Word, then you must notice the immense error you live in. It is your duty to openly declare your position in regards to it. You cannot agree that one can look upon something in this and that way, instead, My Word will always have the same meaning and will also correspond to the Word from above, people merely interpret it differently. My adversary took possession of the human intellect and caused confusion, for intellectually all interpretations were possible. But I have given you a spiritual interpretation and was only able to convey it to a spiritually awakened person, but who is wholeheartedly in tune as to how My Word is to be understood and who shall also make an effort in order to combat wrong interpretations. He shall make people aware of them and instruct them in the same meaning as I have done and still continue to do, so that they will live in truth, which alone leads to beatitude. Their attention shall be drawn to the fact that I want everything to be understood differently, that people shall understand My Words spiritually and also fulfil them spiritually. They shall let themselves be nourished and refreshed by Me Myself, and this absolutely necessitates love for Me and their neighbour, otherwise they will be unable to experience the grace of My address, otherwise they will not be able to hear My Word as a 'sign of My presence' .... Hence external signs and traditions are of no use to you in order to be certain of My presence in you. Only love must be in you, for only through love will My being there be certain. In that case, however, you will also receive My Word and thus be nourished with My bread from heaven, with the water of life, with My flesh and My blood. And if you spend thought on this interpretation, you will not find any contradiction with the Word I have spoken when I lived on earth ....

I handed the bread and the wine to My disciples, but they knew that I wanted it to be understood as My Word which they were meant to hand out to their fellow human beings .... But My adversary tried to confuse people by sneaking a different interpretation in which they diligently heeded and thus gradually diverted from the actual meaning of My Word. And therefore you must attempt to explain all My Words in a spiritual way .... You do not understand one Word as I want it to be understood .... because My adversary has been very successful in confusing people's mind, but My Own were taught by Me at all times and always knew the truth. And anyone who followed them belonged to the church founded by Me .... The interpretation of My Words has led to the most varied means of 'sanctification' .... to the sacraments which are to result in all people's sanctification. But how can this come about if people are lacking love? The human being only lives on earth for the purpose of changing his nature into love .... How can a person, through the act of baptism alone, be delivered from the hereditary sin, which requires a life lived in love on earth? How can a human being be released from all kinds of sins through paying external lip service, if the most profound love for God does not wrench this confession from him? And how can someone released from his guilt through such sanctification means enter the kingdom of the beyond who is only judged according to his degree of love? .... All misguided teachings are disclosed through My Word, through the instructions from above, and you can form your own opinion about them. For you must have the certainty that you receive the purest truth from one side and that I Myself Am the source of this truth, that I can also explain to you how I want My Word to be understood, but that I will also grasp every opportunity to do so where possible, for My adversary has successfully managed to draw you all under his spell. And you do not defend yourselves through your own will for truth, you accept everything presented to you without hesitation and not even once turn to the One Who is the source of all knowledge, not once do you turn to the highest Authority with an appeal for truth, which It would certainly not deny, for I only wait for this call so that I can distribute the truth in its purest form and guide people out of this net of errors into truth. For although I do not infringe upon people's free will they can use it to help them push the adversary away providing they only desire the pure truth ....

Amen

Love thy neighbour as thyself ....

B.D. 8831 from July 18th 1964, taken from Book No. 93

Every prayer you send up to Me in spirit and in truth will be fulfilled .... And so also your request will be fulfilled, since you have a very powerful intercessor, to whom I certainly deny no wish. This is no earthly request, after all it is the greatest proof of My presence in man that I can speak to a child and impart words to it, which no man has yet heard. But I need utmost concentration for this and will also create this for you .... And what you now hear, that take up, so that it remains with you, until the time has come .... Today now an address is sent to you, which is meant for all men, because only the few, who are Mine, know about the great importance of the divine love teaching, which I taught Myself on earth and tried to convince men of its importance. But without love you will miss your purpose of earthly life, for only a very short time is allotted to you for the transformation of your nature into love .... compared to the infinitely long time before, when you had to serve according to divine will. And in this short earth time certainly ample possibilities are given to you to carry out the reshaping into love. But know that I give you no commandment .... You must carry out this work of your own free will, then you will prove to Me your love for Me, which expresses itself in works of neighbourly love. Therefore also no compulsion exists from Me, and everything what is to be achieved through compulsion, that you can reject unhesitatingly, because I do not look at such works. You are to fight your self-love in free will; you must change this into unselfish neighbourly love, always remembering that I have said this: Love thy neighbour as thyself .... Therefore I have given you a standard by which you are to recognize, which measure of love you can attribute to yourselves and how far your self-love is allowed to go .... that you do not give more to yourselves than to your neighbour. This is very difficult and requires a strong will. But once you have achieved this, then the love you show to your neighbour will also make you happy, and to the same extent your love for Me also increases, which you prove to Me through your love for your neighbour. And when I again and again announce to you this My love teaching, then this is of such great importance and only proves again and again that you pay little attention to this teaching, that you are still arrested in selfish love, that it is difficult for you to reshape this selfish love into unselfish neighbourly love, and you still cannot become perfect without love. This is the only purpose of earthly life, and you pay so little attention to these commandments, and if you would only want to fulfil this one commandment, which however includes the other one in itself .... you would gain much, because where the heart is not hardened, where it still turns towards the fellow human being who is in adversity, there is also hope that it will become bright in him and he will slowly come to realize how difficult earthly life is, and he longs for a different stay, which, however, is not possible without the fulfilment of those commandments. I only ever want to draw your attention to the purpose of your earthly life; I only ever want to tell you that you can also lead a far easier life if you are active in love, for out of love the strength also grows for you, which is sent to you from Me, for then you are active together with Me, Who I Myself is love .... And My power must flow into you and let you overcome all resistances. Therefore I also address all of you who still resist Me: First seek to overcome your self-love, and you will feel a significant relief, for thereby you detach yourselves from the enemy of your soul, who wants to prevent everything that gives you light .... But you still walk in deepest darkness, and you can procure light for yourselves if you fulfil this commandment of Mine as most important .... if you make an effort to see your brother in your neighbour and to help him in every adversity and distress ...._>Amen

The task of fighting misguided teachings ....

B.D. 8832 from July 20th 1964, taken from Book No. 93

It is your task to counteract misguided teachings, and I Am giving you the proclamations in a way that they are clearly understandable to everyone so that they recognise for themselves the absurdity of what has been presented to them, as long as they are willing. I Am concerned for those who have slight doubts already and want to convey the truth to them.

But those who do not want to let go of their church can be given the purest truth and will not recognise it because they have no desire for truth. Even so, it is good if they get to know your opinion that nothing will benefit their soul's maturity if it is not based on the principle of love. And while you still have the freedom of speech you should use it and speak quite openly .... you should voice your opinion about wrong teachings and always know that I Am the Giver (of truth) Myself, that you work with My knowledge which gives you every right to support it. For you work with a gift from above which already has the inherent strength to bestow realisation on a person who does not resist it, even if you only succeed in informing a person of the error, for the knowledge of it can still stimulate doubts. For once their belief is shaken much will have been gained already.

Pure truth gives brightest illumination to someone who seriously desires it .... but only to him; and he will not reject these explanations either, and thus I intend to help those who are receptive to it. And there are many who are not content with the traditional spiritual knowledge they are being offered but who are aware of a Deity Who gave them life and Who also takes care that people will reach the goal set for them during earthly life .... who also know that there can only be one truth and that this must therefore come forth from the One Who is the Eternal Truth Itself. As soon as they realise this it will be easy to convey the information to them for they won't resist long in accepting it because they will recognise that it originates from the relevant Authority. Hence you should frankly expose every error since it cannot lead people to beatitude; on the contrary, nothing good can come from it because .... if the opportunity were offered to them .... they would reject the pure truth. Consequently, what you receive from Me is intended for distribution but how and in what form you offer the spiritual knowledge shall be left up to you since every person reacts differently, yet whatever you do in order to guide people into truth will be blessed by Me ....

Amen

Precondition for the working of the spirit ....

B.D. 8833 from July 26th 1964, taken from Book No. 93

The simple request to fill you with my spirit is enough to be full of the spirit, provided that the mouth does not only express it, but it rises up to Me out of the deepest heart. Because I am pleased with every man who sends this request to Me, he still wants to have clarity of his thoughts, and this according to pure truth. What therefore could I rather do than to direct light there, where such is desired? And according to his desire for truth the human being will now also be considered, according to his degree of love will also be the fullness of the flow of strength of grace, so that one can certainly speak of a noticeable radiating of strength, which then expresses itself in individual 'gifts of the spirit', which are outwardly recognizable, which obviously gives the fellow human being the conviction that he is filled by the spirit of God. But then it would always only be exceptional cases, whereas I have given you humans the promise to send the comforter to all those who believe in Me and keep My commandments, for "to them I will reveal Myself ...." And whether this also happens through a vessel which has the task of receiving the word from Myself, I nevertheless address you all with it .... so I reveal Myself to you all. And you would not understand Me if I did not illuminate your spirit, if I Myself could not work in you .... or also: Because you are active in love you yourselves kindle a light in you which enlightens you; you awake the spiritual spark in you to life, and this now has an effect on you from the inside .... you grasp everything that is presented to you, and the knowledge of it lets your love for Me flare up ever brighter without being outwardly visibly recognizable .... And this baptism of the spirit I meant, for at that time when I walked on earth people were still blind in spirit, My work of redemption had not yet taken place through which they could become free from blindness .... I spoke of a baptism of fire, of a light of love which would flare up in them and thus also, like a bright fire, caused the spirit to awaken .... and which would drive away spiritual blindness .... I announced 'My spirit's working' in people because I wanted to guide them into knowledge and this was precisely only possible through loving activity. And so all men, who stand in love, must also think right, if they desire to think right, because this condition I set for those in whom My spirit is to work. Outwardly recognizable gifts of the spirit are connected with an obligation that the still weak fellowmen are touched in a form, which lets their weak faith revive .... why I also give knowledge of their mission at the same time to those who are in possession of these gifts. And then also obvious signs can be spoken of, of an inner calling, which that man has received from Me, whom I have chosen for it .... But how often does My adversary intervene here as well, who makes use of people who still walk in error and whom he wants to strengthen in this belief to be permeated by the spirit of God by putting them into purely physical excitement and they now speak incomprehensibly and believe to be under the influence of My spirit .... He can only ever have an effect where people are in error and do not allow themselves to be taught, where the desire for truth does not prevail in them, which would protect them from his influence. And so also these will speak of a 'spirit work', but which is to be treated with caution, because they lack the inner knowledge when and where the spirit works, and therefore they make use of something, but for which the desire for truth is the prerequisite, but which they do not possess. Because the knowledge about it would also awaken humility in them, but which those do not possess who believe to be filled by the spirit of God ...._>Amen

On the question of the incarnation of God in Jesus ....

B.D. 8834 from July 28th 1964, taken from Book No. 93

How often have you already been informed of My human manifestation in Jesus. And yet, this thought is not accepted by you, for you are unable to grasp the close bond between a human being and Me, you do not believe it possible that God .... Whom you believe to be immeasurably distant .... can unite with a human being in order to put on his spiritual garment and eternally remain in this form for you. That is why you also have to take note of the process of the deification of a man, only then you will approach this thought, and only then you believe both in the man Jesus, who came to earth for the purpose of a mission, as also in My becoming man in him. Again and again I address men and seek to supply them with the understanding for it, who certainly do not want to deny Jesus historically, but who have no knowledge about his mission, but for which I can give them no proof. This is a matter of faith, and that is why it is difficult to submit to you the motives of His mission, because you also want to know nothing about it that you once became sinful and that this sin was cause of His coming to this earth. But your own imperfection as man would have to be proof for you, because I have put nothing imperfect out of Me, but you feel as creature of a power, as soon as you think about your state at all. And when you imagine your own inadequacy as result of a sin then you will also understand why Jesus descended to earth .... to bring you deliverance. And this was His actual mission, and that it (which) now, however, also entailed full deification .... which will be just as incomprehensible to you if the knowledge about it is not also conveyed to you. For it is the meaning and purpose of your earth life that you likewise strive for deification on earth and can also do it through the blessings of the work of redemption, which the man Jesus had acquired for you on the cross. And you can never achieve deification on earth without Jesus Christ's act of salvation .... For you must know one thing, that love in the man Jesus accomplished this work .... but that love is Me Myself .... that it is My fundamental substance and that this love completely filled the man Jesus, so that I Myself therefore took your sins upon Myself and walked the path to the cross .... only made use of a human shell which was capable of suffering and thus atoned for people's sins through excessive suffering and dying on the cross .... Again and again I try to make this problem understandable to you men, but again and again only those will grasp it who carry the desire for pure truth in themselves, but not those who are so rooted in the world that it is indifferent to them to know what is the occasion of their embodiment and what task underlies their being on earth. Because these are completely in the power of My opponent, and they also do not break away from it. And so the circle of those who want to become knowing will become smaller and smaller because men of the world predominate and want to know neither about Jesus Christ and His work of redemption nor about My becoming man in Him because the darkness of the spirit envelops them, and in it they will also leave their life and enter the kingdom on the other side. But to all those who desire enlightenment, who do not quite agree with this problem of My becoming man in Jesus, to them I will reveal Myself again and again and seek to solve this problem for them, because even if they cannot grasp it, it will suddenly come to their remembrance, and they will enter the kingdom on the other side with a small light when the day of departure from this earth has come ...._>Amen

About speaking in tongues ....

B.D. 8835 from August 2nd 1964, taken from Book No. 93

You should educate your fellow human beings in all truthfulness, and therefore you first have to receive the truth from Me. I have told you many times already that the truth will bring you enlightenment, that you will not stay in the dark, that you will be able to understand everything. And thus you are given an explanation about the various 'gifts of the spirit', which you can even notice yourselves in those who possess them. You will have to admit that unusual abilities exist when a person has the gift of healing the sick .... you will not be able to deny the gift of prophesy either .... just as remarkable knowledge will be obvious to you too .... They are all things which are unusual in people, powers are manifesting themselves in a person which are undeniably divine activities for the benefit of the souls. But you ask Me in particular about the 'gift of speaking in tongues' .... You have already received the simple explanation from Me that this gift is a special sign of a most heartfelt bond with Me, explained such that I speak through a person who talks to people of different nations and they hear him in their native tongue, so that everyone believes that he speaks to them in their own language. This gift is a most obvious sign of My working .... just like the 'outpouring of My spirit' upon My disciples .... when all people present heard them speak in their mother tongue .... Thus they were speaking in 'foreign tongues' .... and not that a person speaks an incomprehensible language and then believes to be permeated by 'My spirit' .... This is a complete misinterpretation of the Scriptures which certainly speak of the blessed feeling of an inner bond with Me which motivates a person to praise My Being, but it takes place in quiet prayer uttered by the tongue .... and not by the mouth.

I ask you in all seriousness: what point would there be in a prayer articulated with the mouth in an incomprehensible language, if it needs interpreting? .... Am I Myself not able to speak to you in a clearly intelligible way? I want to give you light .... why should I use an interpreter who first has to be enlightened by My Spirit in order to be able to give you light. I Am an unambiguous and true God, and I really have no reason to offer you a muddle of words which needs to be translated by another person. Especially this portrayal of speaking in tongues encouraged people to seek this gift desperately, and thus sects arose whose members assemble as the Pentecostal community in order to acquire this gift due to wrong understanding .... Whenever I speak to people I will always give them light, but I do not speak to those who express themselves confusingly and need an interpreter, who is equally incapable of spreading light. I ask you, why should I speak to you in a language you don't understand? You misunderstand the words in the Scriptures, as far as they can be regarded as My Word .... for even the 'letter' added to My Gospel contains errors. Words have been added which were (are) not 'My Word' and even those are misinterpreted by you, and thus you cannot escape from error. But precisely these words form the basic teachings of those supposedly permeated by the 'spirit of Pentecost' .... And they confuse people because they do not rely on the pure truth which I Myself convey to earth, in fact, they are hostile to it .... They do not accept this pure teaching and this, in itself, should already be evidence for you that they have founded themselves on wrong principles. Anyone who is so convinced of their permeation by My spirit that he speaks in 'foreign tongues' also has to be able to translate it himself in spirit and in truth, since it is not My will to confuse people's spirit but to enlighten it. And this translation has to agree with the spiritual knowledge which I convey to earth from above, or you can reject it as error. I will give light to all of you, and you should not resist this light, for the gift of grace offered to you from above is immeasurable, and yet the error is equally enormous so that I have to be active Myself in order to help you become enlightened again .... And blessed is he who accepts the light that shines for him ....

Amen

Acts 7, 55-56 ....

B.D. 8836 from August 4th 1964, taken from Book No. 93

Why do you not keep to My simple explanation that I Am not visible to you humans in My fundamental nature, which would consume you if I were to illuminate you with the abundance of My strength of love? Why are you not satisfied with the explanation that I created a form for Myself in Jesus in order to be visible to you? You will, however, fight in vain against those who want to believe that Jesus and I are separate beings, who rely on information they don’t understand due to their unenlightened spirit. No-one can see God .... without ceasing to exist .... In Jesus I Am visible to a person. Where people allegedly have seen Me and Jesus, the error is obvious too, since this can never ever be possible. Even the disciples could not comprehend this enigma apart from a few, and thus reports appeared which did not correspond to truth .... which should always be questioned whenever people speak of a Deity separately from Jesus.

Stephen certainly saw heaven opened and he also saw Jesus in radiating brightness, he saw Him as God, but the people with him associated his vision with purely human concepts. The sentence ‘the Son of man sitting on the right hand of God’ was added by people .... since it is not possible because Jesus and God are the same .... I Am an immensely bright fire Which cannot become visible to you, which you cannot see in your imperfection and which even in the state of perfection would affect you to such an extent that you would want to pass away. Thus, anyone who states that he saw ‘Me and Jesus at My right hand’ is still bound to the Scriptures, which he himself is unable to understand, which speaks to him in images, but the words of the Scriptures do not reflect what Stephen exclaimed during his spiritual vision.

And the same applies to the basic doctrines of the church which state ‘that Jesus is sitting on the right hand of God’. These developed due to a misguided perception .... The reason for the apostasy from God was that the beings were unable to see Him, He did not reveal Himself as Entity .... and therefore He created a form for Himself into which He radiated Himself ....

Thus I became as one with this form Jesus .... This also applies to the teachings of the Mormons who are equally unable to understand the human manifestation of God in Jesus and therefore endorse the doctrine of three Gods. And this is what I want to say to them: You believe that you cannot let go of this doctrine but you should know that it is no longer taught to you as it once emerged from Me .... Because you, too, received My Word in all truthfulness, but what have you done to it?

Anything that originates from Me is purest truth, but it is no longer known to you. You have turned it into a misguided teaching which deviates from the truth in many ways, and now you attempt to pass these misguided teachings on to those whom I instruct Myself ....

Yet time and again I will choose a suitable vessel for Myself into which I can pour My spirit, and this can carry bright light into the darkness of spirit .... it can enlighten you about those problems which arise from controversial issues .... And you will benefit from this, because only truth takes you to the goal. I constantly seek to transmit it to earth so that no-one who desires the truth can say that He was not approached by Me. You only need to desire it sincerely, otherwise it cannot be given to you, since this is My condition which I cannot revoke. Then the truth will surely be given to you and you will also reach your goal with certainty .... you will become blessed for eternity ....

Amen

Father's assurance of pure truth ....

B.D. 8837 from August 6th 1964, taken from Book No. 93

When I address you men then this is a sign of My presence in you; it is a sign that I am close to you, so close that you need not fear that you no longer possess My love. Because you can hear me, and My address will again and again be a proof that I want to work through you and in you .... A mighty knowledge has already been conducted to earth through My word, and My word will still resound in you until I Myself put an end to it, until the mission is accomplished .... And every servant's task is different, but one thing is certain that pure truth has to be supplied to men and that you, who want to do this work for Me, are certain of My blessing. But I can only give knowledge to men when I bring truth to them Myself .... I do not want that those, who have no knowledge of the book of books, are therefore to go away empty-handed, because exactly among them are seekers, who do not let themselves be taught through words, which certainly also have taken their start from Me, of which they are however not convinced and I therefore address those Myself. But since I can speak to them through you, the success is greater, because their faith is a living one; they know it that I Myself address them. And I can now look down on a circle, which take it seriously with the work on their souls. The will to serve Me is what lets your work be of success. I speak to you as a father speaks to his children, for I do not want to be a distant God for you, I want you to recognize Me as father, I want to lavish all My love on you, you should not feel that I am a God of wrath Who condemns you when you have erred. you shall see your father in Me Who introduces you to all secrets of creation, and you shall entrust yourselves to Me that I also instruct you correctly, that I impart the truth to you in purest form .... precisely because you are to work for Me and your work consists of conveying the truth, of informing your fellow human beings .... And for this I need you, I do not need bigots, I need sober-thinking people who are able to judge for themselves what spiritual knowledge they should also hand out to their fellow human beings .... Every man is pleasant to Me who earnestly seeks to fulfil My will, but I will also choose those who I consider suitable for this mission, and I will also protect these from My opponent that he does not bring them into confusion. They only have to believe that I speak to them Myself .... and that in all truth. And when they hear My voice then they are to give thanks and praise Me in the heart that I lean down to them and reveal Myself to them .... For it is their strength that they come to Me and ask Me for My address .... that they may receive strength and light and grace when they hear My word .... And that they possess My love is the sign that I reveal Myself. Therefore let Me often speak through you because it is no longer long time, you approach the end, and everyone will be happy whom I could still address before because he is in intimate connection with Me through his love, which I also return to him ...._>Amen

Are the creations of a spiritual or material kind .... Diversity of stars ....

B.D. 8838 from August 8th 1964, taken from Book No. 93

You are requesting clarification about the creations in the universe, and I want to provide it for you as far as you are able to understand it. The creations are partly of a spiritual and partly of a material kind, but these cannot be regarded as earthly-material, for My creative will is incredibly versatile and you should never assume that other stars have the same composition as earth. However, you have to consider that it is not just earth which is sheltering solidified spiritual substances, but that the innumerable stars visible to your eyes were called into being by Me to help the ascent of all human souls which have not yet reached the degree of maturity needed in order to continue their development in the creations of the beyond.

The whole of creation is My emanated strength, and the earth is the most miserable creation because it consists of coarse matter. Thus anyone covering the process through its creations would be able to completely spiritualise what as 'soul' gives life to the human being. Yet the attained degrees of maturity in which the soul departs from earth after the death of its body are very different .... And thus it will be received by other creations which, as far as it is concerned, certainly also exist in the 'beyond' but which by no means can be called purely spiritual creations, since their substances are likewise solidified spiritual essence .... strength, which once emerged from Me as a being and failed to become active in accordance with My will. However, this matter is far lighter and more compliant, so that the souls staying there are impelled into eager activity and mutual helpfulness, thus they continue to progress ever more. Thus it can be said that this matter is easily dissolvable and yet it also shelters spiritual substance which had once become unfaithful to Me but which does not suffer to the extent as is the case on earth .... which gladly is of service in facilitating the souls' further development, which (this matter) therefore will disintegrate again as soon as it has fulfilled its task.

The creations on these stars are inhabited by beings .... which can also be called human beings .... who likewise have the task of supporting these souls' further development, consequently material creations have to exist as well, yet they should not be imagined such like those on earth. The beings (souls) are now in a world which offers them incredible things and yet it is a tangible world, because everything is permeated by My spiritual strength and it will remain a tangible world until the complete spiritualization of all beings has taken place, which then will no longer require a material world.

But since this shall continue for an eternity and the stars in the firmament are thus visible to you humans, you are instructed to the effect that all these worlds are My will which has taken on shape, that I have emanated strength which more or less was deeply fallen spiritual essence, that this strength manifested itself, thus it is and remains visible for the respective inhabitants of these stars, who merely possess different degrees of realisation and are thus also able to admit inhabitants from earth in order to help them further their development. Then you humans will exist 'beyond' earth and yet in My kingdom, and depending on your maturity you will change your abode in order to enter ever more spiritualised creations.

Yet whatever your eyes behold as heavenly bodies in the firmament are creations which were brought into being by My will; and these creations are the original spirits which had once deserted Me, they were given a task by Me that they now fulfil, hence they more or less acknowledge Me again, consequently, they didn't descend quite so low but nevertheless require material creations in order to fulfil their task therein .... Yet it cannot be said that it is earthly matter, since this spiritual essence had fallen into the deepest abyss which the human being on earth has to overcome over an infinitely long period of time, rather, those material creations were given to people for their happiness and to delight in them .... For a visible star must also exhibit visible creations which should illustrate to the already more mature spirits their Creator's magnitude and power and also offer the spiritual substances still in need of maturing the opportunity to be of service. This problem is not easy to explain to you because you only understand what exists on your earth, and even here your knowledge is limited, but how other stars have an effect on your thoughts will remain hidden to you as long as you are incapable of seeing spiritually. Then, however, this realm will be open to you and you won't be able to stop marvelling at the creations on the individual stars. Yet all My works have their reason and demonstrate My love and wisdom and might ....

And whatever seems inexplicable to you will become known to you the more your soul's maturity advances, then there will be no more questions which could not be answered for you .... And this wealth of knowledge will make you very happy, even if it is at the moment still concealed from you ....

Amen

Right proclaimers of the doctrine of Christ ....

B.D. 8839 from August 12th 1964, taken from Book No. 93

This is of greatest importance that you take note of Jesus Christ and His work of redemption. This information cannot be given to you often enough, for what you miss here on earth cannot be made up for in the kingdom of the beyond, even if you are still led to Him there, Who will receive you into His kingdom .... But this can still last for eternities if you depart from earth completely unbelieving .... But even if you find your way to Him in a shorter time you can still never reach the childship to God, which is the highest aim .... If only the knowledge could be supplied to you of your original sin, which has caused Jesus coming to earth, if only you would let yourselves be instructed about the spiritual reason of His coming. But you men lack all faith, because also the church believers do not know that it is about far more than the salvation from temporal sin guilt, because the knowledge about it would let the preachers speak far more forcefully to men. But this knowledge can only be turned to him who has a living faith, and this must have become alive through love. That there are now also preachers who are deeply believing is not to be denied. But all these preachers lack faith in "the work of the spirit in man". They are utterly ignorant and pay no heed to what is presented to them from a called quarter. They do not listen inwardly, otherwise they would also be knowledgeable .... And they also lack the desire for truth. They accept without hesitation what has again been presented to them as truth, without once seriously taking a stand on it. And then only dead knowledge can remain, everything becomes form, but which they unhesitatingly agree to and so a christianity has come into being, which is powerless and cannot give to any man what helps him to become blessed .... You must still believe alive in Jesus Christ and His work of redemption in earthly life. For anyone who has the opportunity to do so, who has the great grace that this teaching is imparted to him, will one day be severely reproached for not having studied it in greater depth, for as soon as he desires information about it he will also receive it .... He must confess the cross, he must consciously carry his burden of sin under the cross and ask for forgiveness, for he will (he must) always be aware of his defective state and (will) therefore also know that his own transgressions were the cause of his defective state, and to (he must) know that there is one Who can redeem him from his defectiveness, but that this one must also be called upon in living faith. But faith can only become alive through love, and so love must first be practiced, which then also gives man a light about everything what is connected with the divine redeemer. You men! Use the short earth life time, which is still granted to all of you, that you get information about who Jesus Christ was and in which relationship (which relation) you stand to Him. And you who have knowledge of the book of books, you should also inform yourselves about what is to be understood by "working of the spirit"! Ignorance lets you lose the best, otherwise you would not oppose the results of the working of the spirit when they are brought to your knowledge. Only through such enlightenment can you receive knowledge which gives you full understanding for the work of salvation, but that you now also recognize the great significance of Jesus Christ's work of salvation, that you do everything in order to attain childship to God on earth, for which the redemption through Jesus Christ on earth is already a prerequisite ...._>Amen

Unidentified flying objects ....

B.D. 8840 from August 16th 1964, taken from Book No. 93

What you are told about unidentified flying objects can be flatly dismissed by you as error (lies), for it is merely the fanciful and wishful thinking of those who thereby hand themselves over to the adversary because they do not have the bond with Me Who could explain it to them .... The need of worldly people who refuse to acknowledge a definitely approaching end is great and they look for ways to escape it. All this fits in with the signs of the last days, that they hope to be rescued by inhabitants of other worlds without considering that there is no connection between the earth and the inhabitants of those worlds. It is certain that people who claim to have seen such objects to some extent link up with the powers of the underworld, that they become captivated by the remaining power of the prince of darkness which he uses more than ever during the last days and that these people focus on him.

He manifests himself in the form of appearances which can be described in minute detail, which is also a sign of people's attitude towards Me .... Profoundly devout people will not experience such appearances, for they will believe in the rapture of My Own before the end which, however, will not take place by sending My messengers to earth but I Myself will come in the clouds, as I have told you. Those supposed representatives are forces of darkness who have great power indeed at the end by assembling visible illusions which, however, vanish as swiftly as they appear .... and which can only be sighted by people who are already subject to the adversary or who have not yet found the right kind of relationship with Me. For anyone who holds on to Me is taught by My spirit, and that in all truthfulness indeed .... But what do you humans expect from those appearances?

You also believe the channelled promises you receive from mediums and thus live more than ever in darkness .... What you believe you see are not visible creations from Me but mere illusions by the one who takes advantage of the wishes and desires of people who want to preserve their lives and with this desire strengthen his power. And the occupants of these 'visible' objects which briefly materialise themselves only to vanish again are also from his world. The adversary has great power at the end ....You are told this time and again by Me .... And in view of the end he will also use this power to entice those who do not firmly hold on to Me and as a result of their will are easily influenced. Yet you will hear no such messages from circles belonging to Me, for the adversary has no access where I Myself let My light shine.

However, anyone who is already on his territory will be able to cite ever more 'evidence' which is all but deception and illusion. Accept My Word that no connections exist between the inhabitants of different worlds and that .... when the end has come .... no-one will be able to escape it but will either be bodily lifted to heaven by Me Myself or fall prey to banishment once more. But for this I truly do not need messengers from another world or you, who should spread the truth across the world, would also receive the relevant information .... Hence, abide by what I tell you and do not allow yourselves to be deterred, for My adversary is your enemy too, who tries to ruin you but will not succeed with those who are faithful to Me, whom I will rescue from all adversity on the day of Judgment ....

Amen

Rating people by love degree ....

B.D. 8841 from August 19th 1964, taken from Book No. 93

Whatever you undertake .... Everything will find My approval as soon as you want to serve Me. Everything is good and according to My will, if you just always connect the thought with it to fulfil My will and to take part in the work of redemption of erring souls. For this task is extremely important, after all, not a day goes by where you cannot have an effect .... be it on earth or also in the kingdom of the beyond .... Souls will always turn up and follow your doings and let themselves be taught if you just mentally draw them in. No work is done in vain, and whether you also do not see a success. My word has a constant effect as power and will also have an effect on those souls, which still reject you, until they once will recognize its power effect, even if this only happens in the kingdom on the other side. But your work is pure spiritual; it only touches the hearts of men, and where you therefore can address a heart, there a success is truly to be recorded, because it is the will of man, which guarantees this success. And I know it where you are to carry My word .... I know the state of maturity of every man and know it where the desire for pure truth is present .... And these will also not doubt the originator of the thought material, which they now receive. And on every single one I will now reveal Myself .... They will hear the voice of the father and recognize them because they belong to Mine, because every thought is meant for Me and this becomes certainty for them through the indirect address that I address them. And even if the number of those you still win for Me and My word becomes smaller and smaller, so every single one is still a gain for Me, whom I can consider to be saved, who does not fall prey to the new banishment. That is why you are to do eager work for Me and never believe that it is in vain, but you are also to think of those who do not want to leave their misbelief, who certainly also believe to stand in truth, but are still far away from it. Because to bring pure truth to them is far more difficult. But then the degree of love decides whether the knowledge is given to them immediately after their demise that they recognize everything light and clear, or with a still lower degree of maturity they have to wrestle because they also then still do not want to give up their error, but are not happy before they have not accepted truth. And when you can only move those men to a life of love then you have achieved much, then they will also one day no longer resist to accept pure truth. And also towards these you have a task: (And so you have the task towards these:) To present to them the love teaching as urgent, which they must absolutely fulfil for the sake of their happiness. For I only judge men according to the degree of love they have to record at the hour of death, and accordingly is also the degree of their bliss. But this degree of happiness is not dependent on the fulfilment of humanly issued commandments. That is why you only seek to bring the divine love teaching everywhere, which gives every human soul the guarantee for a happy lot in the hereafter. My order to you is: to always only carry My word .... the relinquishment of Myself .... out into the world, because this quite clearly separates truth from error, because you quite clearly recognize My will and .... if you pay attention to it .... you can no longer sin, for as soon as you are completely devoted to Me and only ever accept My will you can no longer sin, because then you will receive the strength to be able to resist every temptation .... And My word has this power effect everywhere where it is received with the heart, where men want that they are addressed by Me. And these I also lead to you, so that you bring them My delicious gift .... so that they will be addressed by Me and attain beatitude ...._>Amen

Study does not guarantee spiritual knowledge ....

B.D. 8842 from August 21st 1964, taken from Book No. 93

It is a broad field which is opened up to you through My Word from above. You are penetrating unfamiliar territory, you receive vast and extensive knowledge and can extraordinarily enrich yourselves with spiritual knowledge. Yet this also obliges you to pass it on, for the spiritual knowledge shall brightly shine wherever there are receptive hearts. For that which you receive is truth, even if it will time and again cause offence with those who value their intellect more than spiritual transmissions. However, as long as people are incapable of liberating themselves from traditionally-adopted spiritual information they will not be able to recognise the pure truth either. For whatever is gained by study is dead knowledge if the spirit of people acquiring such knowledge is not awakened. And therefore you will experience the biggest rejection where only the intellect was involved, where I Myself was unable to speak, because I speak to the human being's spirit which maintains the bond with the eternal Father-Spirit. You will only rarely meet with understanding there but that should not stop you from speaking on behalf of the only truth, for no human being will be able to disprove it because I Myself convey this truth to earth and no-one will actually be able to contest My arguments. The fact that people interpret passages of the bible at their own discretion only reveals their error consistently more clearly, they just don't want to admit to it due to their years of study. Yet of what use is this without the awakening of the spirit. And how much misconception has it already achieved .... And your task is to refute it, to expose all error and offer people the plain truth which they then are indeed more likely to accept than spiritual knowledge which can lay claim to 'truth'. Hence, whatever you undertake in order to convey the information from above to people has My blessing and will certainly achieve its purpose, for many people object to the distorted doctrine and will be happy to have found an agreeable explanation.

Yet people who persist in holding on to the knowledge they gained through study will become your enemies, precisely because they lack an awakened spirit. Nevertheless, don't let it disturb you for you are working on My instructions .... You proclaim the truth which alone originates from Me .... and you will truly surpass their knowledge, for you will be able to explain all those things which preceded the creation of the world and of the human being .... And this is really very significant, and you cannot be disproved. They can only reject it as implausible but they will be unable to offer a better explanation and reason for their existence on this earth. They will have to admit that they did not learn anything about this even through study .... but it was explained to people by Me Myself. You humans can't possibly imagine that you .... who are highly educated .... are more privileged than people who are less intelligent when it concerns the achievement of maturity of soul .... You cannot possibly depend the 'maturity of soul' on your sharpness of intellect just because you were able to 'study' .... if you don't awaken your spirit first, in which case, however, it would have pointed the error out to you. On the other hand, an uneducated mind can achieve spiritual awakening because it only requires love and this has to be put into practice in order to awaken the spirit to life. And anyone who lives this love cannot agree with misguided teachings .... He will know precisely where error has crept in and will wholeheartedly support the eradication of these misguided teachings. Whether you belong to this or that school of thought .... unless you first come spiritually alive your knowledge will remain dead knowledge which cannot emanate strength to the listeners .... This has to be said to all of those who reject My revelations on the basis of their worldly knowledge, which I cannot call otherwise because it was gained by way of study but which does not guarantee truth, which can only be obtained from Me .... from the primary source of truth ....

Amen

Giving account .... Urgency of distribution ....

B.D. 8843 from August 22nd 1964, taken from Book No. 93

I can only every admonish you to remain steadfast if you are held accountable for the sake of My teaching. You will still be heavily attacked because no-one wants to listen to the pure truth. For this reason you should request much strength from Me now, so that you will be able to cope with all onslaughts. Admittedly, you cannot be swayed by any counterarguments because you are convinced that you have received the truth. Nevertheless, your opponents are clever, they will try to make you waver and it will truly require firm faith and much confidence in My strength in order to confront them. Then I will still gain a few people over for Me who find the pure truth more agreeable than the distorted teachings which you must denounce. Only My Word from above is the pure truth, and you can also endorse it as such without having to fear that you would be acting against My will if you also enlighten your fellow human beings as to what I Myself expect them to believe. Time and again I conveyed the knowledge of this to people, yet as long as they still felt committed to a school of thought, they still held too deeply rooted opinions and the acceptance of teachings which blatantly opposed their ideas met with resistance .... But now I have been offered the opportunity by a tool, which is entirely devoid of personal opinions, to permeate it by My spirit and this truly instructs it correctly. And the urgency of My doctrine's truthful portrayal is indeed very obvious, since people are lukewarm and do not comply with My divine commandments of love at all, apart from a few exceptions which will be judged according to their degree of love and not according to external appearances, which are an abomination before My eyes. It is the time of the end .... And this alone should make the conveyance of the pure truth understandable to you, for no-one shall be able to say that they have not been informed of the truth .... I will shake all those up who are capable of receiving the truth and induce them to think about it .... but whether they are willing to receive it is their own decision, but they will also have to give account for their will. For this reason I have referred to the time when My Gospel will require purification, which consequently necessitated a vessel which submissively opened itself to Me in order to let a powerful light shine in, which offered no resistance and thus gave Me the opportunity to express Myself and to reiterate My teaching as I wanted them to be understood .... If only you humans would believe that I solely judge the degree of love when you depart from earthly life .... Then you would also make an effort purely to fulfil these two commandments, you would thereby receive everything I promised while I was living on earth .... You would receive an abundance of strength and grace and would not have to worry about earthly things, for then you would truly only take care of your soul and live your life according to My will. You would recognise and acknowledge Jesus Christ as the Son of God and Redeemer of the world .... You would recognise Me Myself in Him, for all this knowledge would be conveyed to you if you lived a life of love, which would awaken the spirit in you. But those of you who want to serve Me shall stand firm and draw your strength from the wealth of knowledge which will always flow to you when you make contact with Me through kind-hearted activity and heartfelt prayer ....

Amen

Racial questions .... Doctrine of re-incarnation ....

B.D. 8844 from August 22nd 1964, taken from Book No. 93

These questions are not so easily answered, because you regard everything from the point of view that you humans only advance in earthly life. You are repeatedly told that this earthly life is the only path to attain childship to God .... that you are thus able to achieve it with good will .... Yet only very few people will be able to achieve it, especially during the last days when love has grown completely cold. However, you don't consider that the development continues in the kingdom of the beyond, that I have 'many schoolhouses' where .... once again with good will .... the soul can continue what it had neglected to do on earth, although the goal of achieving childship to God can no longer be attained .... but where the being can also descend into the abyss again and then My merciful love, requested by your prayer of intercession, will come to its aid. You always have to take infinitely long periods of time into account when you believe the redemption through Jesus Christ could not have taken place .... But to Me a thousand years are like a day .... And if you now raise the question of whether a possibility for recompense exists for those who, due to My will, were incarnated as a Negro I will counter with another question:

Do you know whether a white human being will not abuse his incarnation for God-opposing actions? Of what use is it to him that his knowledge is far above the former if he spends his life entirely without faith and love, whereas the former can be kind natured and thus be far above the other. Unbelief is the greatest evil that can adhere to a person, for then he will still be severely shackled by the one who pulls him down. And such people cannot be saved in one earthly period either; yet they will not return to earth as a human being, instead they will be banished into matter just like the souls in the beyond who have descended into the abyss because the work of redemption was unsuccessful with them. In that case one period of Salvation will not suffice .... just as the so-called 'indigenous' races of people experience their first incarnation on this earth which .... if they do not strive towards further development in the beyond .... will likewise descend and be banished again. This banishment, therefore, will always take place at the disintegration of earth for the purpose of establishing Divine Order again .... However, it is not a re-incarnation as you humans imagine it, that you can arbitrarily wish for it and then have your wish fulfilled .... You imagine everything as being limited, both regarding the time as well as the location in which you will be placed ....

You fail to take the concepts of eternity into account, which have such serious consequences for you humans .... And you will be facing one such concept of eternity when the transformation work of earth takes place .... Then all human beings will have to start the process of development from the beginning again, but not as you would wish by returning to earth yet again to complete your perfection. It is possible to become perfect on this earth but it requires all your will and utter commitment .... The fact that this is no longer endeavoured towards is explained by people themselves, for they are heartless and completely without faith. However, where Jesus Christ is still sincerely called upon in spirit and in truth .... where He is still recognised and acknowledged as Redeemer, there is also love, and this also guarantees that the human being will 'become perfect as his Father in heaven is perfect'. When a still immature soul departs it will be joined by countless helpers in the beyond and safely guided to ascent .... If, however, it is unwilling then it will descend but even then it can still find redemption .... and if all efforts by the world of light fail then it will be banished again in the end .... If you thus know that the degree of love determines the degree of the soul's realisation when it departs from this world, then you will also understand that all schools of thought which endeavour to develop love will also result in recognising Jesus Christ before or after its passing away. And they, too, will find redemption as soon as they recognise Him .... Hence it would not be necessary for them to incarnate on earth again in order to find faith in Him.

However, one thing to be considered is the fact that these schools of thought already know about the divine Redeemer and that it is up to them to appeal to Me for help in giving them the correct explanations .... For this demand of Mine is justified that people must approach Me in regards to problems which only I can explain .... and that I also instruct those who have the sincere will to know the truth. And as long as they don't fail to do so they will also be aspirants of the childship to God, for they will .... where possible .... also spread their knowledge. Hence there is no need for another incarnation on this earth in any case, whereas the beings in the world of light appeal for another incarnation for the purpose of a mission, which can only be fulfilled by a being of light on this earth, but by which the being can also gain childship to God, although it is without knowledge and only suspects it due to the mission with which it was instructed ....

Interpretation of the divine Word ....

B.D. 8845 from August 26th 1964, taken from Book No. 93

The 'Word of God' has been subjected to many

Amendments, and it is still

Amended, so that My Words were not in vain when I said: 'I will guide you into truth ....' Because I knew that My Word would not remain unchanged and thus I promised to send My spirit to those who kept seeking the pure truth and made it possible that I could reveal Myself to them .... But as far as possible I have always protected 'My Word' from

Amendments so that the deep significance of My teachings could be retained ....

Yet My Word was interpreted such that this resulted in misguided teachings .... which I consistently fight against by conveying the correct explanation to people .... And hence it will no longer matter whether and to what extent the writers of the Gospels were commissioned by Me, but solely what you humans have made of the Words that were written with the best intentions and with the will to serve Me. Even My scribe John could not prevent the original text from being changed by people; the translations were not flawless and therefore were often interpreted differently. Hence it was possible to give My Words, which were preserved in the original text, a completely different interpretation, because they were mainly spoken to My disciples and therefore intended to be passed on .... but they understood the spiritual meaning of My Word. They did not convert it into worldly instructions but in the course of time these replaced the true meaning of My Word ....

Therefore, in view of the many translations that were carried out during this time, it was not possible to preserve the Gospels in their original form. And if a spiritually awakened person had pointed out the error as soon as he recognised it, he would have been sharply denounced as a heretic. Where My adversary had succeeded in even spoiling the prayer that I Myself had taught you, by portraying My essence incorrectly without people even noticing it, he has made good use of their spiritual ignorance and blindness .... And thus even today the concept of the 'working of My spirit within the human being' has not yet been sufficiently clarified, in as much as My 'representatives' on earth are arguing as to whether the words I spoke to My disciples were meant only for My disciples or whether they were meant for all people .... thus whether everyone should heed them.

But I continue to transmit the pure truth to earth, therefore it is of no significance whether everything has been preserved unaltered, because I knew what the

Amendments would be, and because I kept giving clarification where necessary .... where the divisions of the churches occurred, which were always based on differences of opinion .... The division of schools of thought always happened when My representatives on earth disagreed, when each one believed they understood My Word correctly and a dispute ensued as a result. They could not twist My Word but they succeeded in changing its meaning. And thus a number of fundamental words of Mine were misunderstood, which resulted in one division after another and finally in the commencement of many sects, each with their different problems, but with not one of their followers knowing anything about the 'working of My Spirit', or he would have taken the path to Me for clarification as a matter of course.

And if I want to bring clarity again and inform people of My will I need to find a vessel which puts itself at My disposal .... to which I may speak Myself and through which I tell people how I want My Word to be understood. Because today the confusion is greater than ever, and every person interprets the Word for himself as it suits him .... And if humanity is to be given a light it can only happen by way of inner enlightenment, so that people can be taught by Me directly, but then they can also convincingly present their knowledge to other people. But then every question will also be answered and every problem will be solved, then you will be guided into truth, as I promised you ....

Amen

The working of the spirit exceeds a scholar’s knowledge ....

B.D. 8846 from August 27th 1964, taken from Book No. 93

Anyone who truthfully wants to serve Me must also endorse the truth to his fellow human beings .... for he receives it through the voice of the spirit. This is a privilege he cannot value enough, since he is thereby in possession of the pure truth which no-one can take away from him. And to know the truth means to be so illuminated that the darkness is unable to harm him. What could be more pleasing on earth than to partake in the light, to be illuminated by the light of mercy which bestows brightest realisation upon a person? .... And it is his task to share this with fellow human beings, to kindle a bright light in them as well and also to dispel the darkness they are burdened with. Yet you will also encounter resistance all over the place, for only those people who request the truth from Me themselves are willing to accept it, whom I can therefore approach and speak to through you. And I know their hearts, I know that they yearn for the truth, and come to meet all those who will not reject you. Nevertheless, only a few will possess the full truth, for spiritual arrogance is far too obvious in the world. The kind of education that you experience will only rarely find credence. Instead, people think that they will only discover the mysteries through study, and thus they will be granted more credence; and the problem all over the world consists of the fact that only those who have far less knowledge than you feel called to educate their fellow human beings because they don’t draw their knowledge from the source. The purest form of truth can only come forth from Me Myself .... And neither have I ever required the study of spiritual issues. Everything concerning your spiritual life comes under My jurisdiction and I distribute the pure truth to those who appeal to Me Myself in their desire to receive it, and they will be taught correctly and their knowledge will far surpass that of a ‘scholar’. However, if I instruct a bearer of truth to use his spiritual knowledge and educate his fellow human beings, then I will also make sure that you will meet those you are intended to instruct and you will find willing listeners in them .... Consequently, your mission is of greatest importance and you must not allow yourselves to be held back by those who are unappointed, because I consider those ‘unappointed’ who do not believe in your task, who oppose such obvious proof of My working with their unbelief, but who assume a teaching task for themselves which they are not entitled to as long as they have not received the truth from Me Myself, which always necessitates a life of love. Only then will they also become enlightened, but in that case they will no longer oppose you, they will only ever find additional information which clarifies their knowledge and will accept what you offer to them, for then they will recognise the divine origin and be delighted with an explanation where they hitherto were still unable to see clearly, and they will be grateful that they, too, can refresh themselves at the source of the truth .... that they, too, may draw from the living water and that this source has opened itself for them.

Amen

Faithlessness in the end time .... confess ....

B.D. 8847 from August 29th 1964, taken from Book No. 93

The great hardship you are in results from the fact that you find it difficult to establish a deep inner bond with Me, that you do not respect your God and creator, apart from a few for whom I have become their purpose in life. And I will also take care of these few; I will remember them and reward them their loyalty. And they will be led through all dangers because that a time is coming where all of you are in danger, that is certain. And your own (right) attitude towards Me will then also secure you My protection. I Myself will then be your guide, to whom you are then to devote yourselves trustingly, so that you do not fall a victim to the counter power. Because there will still be a great struggle for you on the part of My opponent, who wants to cause all to follow him, but to whom you then are also to offer resistance. And you can only then bring this about when you join Me more than ever, when you turn your will towards Me very obviously, so that he cannot approach you, and when you loudly confess Me before the world. Then he has lost you for eternity, you have become My confessors, you have fulfilled the last task on this earth .... and used yourselves for Me and My kingdom .... And this task still lies ahead of you, to confess Me openly before the world .... It will demand strong courage from you but you will also muster it because you know about the pure truth, because it was given to you so clearly and plausibly through My greater than great love and for the sake of the pure truth you will also represent it before the world .... And you will experience how easily your fellow human beings give away their faith because this faith will be torn to pieces for them and because they then recognize the decrepitude of that what up to now seemed untouchable to them .... except for the few who advocate it out of fanaticism but do not have the inner conviction that it is the pure truth .... And so My opponent will succeed in attacking the faith, he will succeed in convincing the intellectually minded to break away from their faith, because these do not let the spirit speak in them, which well would like to instruct them differently. And if a spirit-awakened man does not have access to that one that he succeeds to cause him to other thinking, then he unhesitatingly gives away everything what he possessed, and also the little what he still could represent as truth. Nevertheless My light will assert itself; it will shine brightly out into the world, and who possesses this light, he also stands firm in faith; he stands up convinced for the spiritual good, which he has received out of My hand, and he will also still win few, who now seriously consider what is demanded of them and what is now right .... And the ones who are Mine are only to let their light shine out; they are to miss no opportunity to light a light in the hearts of the willing; they are to know that they can still bring salvation to many who will then also pass the last fight when they are in possession of the pure truth out of Me .... For I speak to you incessantly so that the number of those increases who come into the direct blessing of My word. For these will withstand all oppressions of My adversary; they will fetch power for confessing out of My word itself, and the inner conviction that they stand in truth lets them speak fearlessly and offer defiance to all onslaughts. And so the small flock of My loyal ones will assert themselves until the end; they will hope for help in greatest trouble, and I will not let them down, because they have supplied Me with the proof, so that I now can transfer them into the paradise of the new earth .... They have remained loyal to Me and have truly earned a fate in bliss which the new earth will prepare for them. But it is only a small flock, which I can fetch home into My kingdom; they are only few, measured by the immense number of the faithless, who no longer have the possibility to enter the kingdom on the other side, because this keeps its gates closed. The lack of faith has taken on such forms that a banishment in matter can no longer be avoided, that they all again have to go the course through the creations of the new earth and that there is no mercy for these because they behaved as real devils towards My loyal ones in the times of the end. And so then also the lot will be given to them .... the new banishment again for endless long time ...._>Amen

Strength of faith .... Nourishing the believers ....

B.D. 8848 from August 30th 1964, taken from Book No. 93

Believe Me that you will still have to suffer hard times which will discourage you if you don’t have an unwavering faith, a faith of such intensity that you can contact Me at any time and take complete strength from this relationship, that you can endure whatever happens to you in the knowledge that I know of it and will not give you more than you can bear. Because then it is essential that you prove yourselves by requesting strength from Me in order to resist those who will take action against you with the intention of stopping you and your work for Me .... But then you will also triumphantly succeed, since they too are open to instructions, you can inform them about the purpose and goal of earthly life. You will be able to make them understand the meaning of their existence on this earth and a few will listen to you, thus you will have gained those already, because I Myself will support you. During this time many things will still happen that will make them think, and world events will not pass them by without leaving an impression either ....

But the achievement of your strong faith will not go unnoticed by those who will treat you with hostility, and anyone who is not yet completely committed to Satan will be impressed by the strength of faith. The effect of a strong faith will be clearly evident to them when they confiscate every necessity of life from you and then have to witness that you live in spite of it, that you don’t suffer poverty and that even the laws of nature can’t harm you, that you are not nourished by people yet nevertheless live, that you receive the strength from above, which you need only request in your prayer .... And this strength of faith has to be requested by you now, because if this faith is not strong enough you will hardly use the opportunity to pray sincerely and with complete trust at the time of hardship. Thus make use of this time and constantly pray for the strengthening of your faith, for assistance during the time when you will be scared and can hardly think of yourselves .... Then it will suffice to send a brief thought to Me, a call from the heart, and I Myself will be with you and protect My own during all hardship and danger .... Because this is what I promised you and now promise you again, that you who labour and are heavily burdened should come unto Me ....

And you will have to suffer a lot of hardship but it should not alarm you, because your helper is ready at all times to protect you, and people will not be able to harm you as long as you are in close contact with Me. And it is certain that you will remain close to Me because everything will take on such dimensions that only One can help you .... And you will take the path to the One because you are already in such close contact with Me that you cannot forget Me anymore .... And for the sake of My Own I will shorten the time since, beyond doubt, the world will be full of devils and every one of them will try to kill you .... But in the same way My angels will surround you and protect you from them .... Because My might will finally triumph over My adversary and his followers, and your time of suffering will be over, you will be allowed to experience the new earth, and all hardship will have come to an end ....

Amen

The latter-day Saints ....

B.D. 8849 from September 2nd 1964, taken from Book No. 93

How often have I revealed Myself to people before now and told them My will, if only people had kept to My Word all resulting misguided teachings would have been instantly recognised as being in opposition to My will .... But each school of thought has its followers and thus whole communities developed who supported the truth of their teaching .... who regard themselves as 'latter-day Saints' and defend their belief such that hardly anyone can stand up for themselves against them. But now I Am clearly manifesting Myself by denouncing all teachings which contradict My Word given to you from above, and there are quite a few of these .... It is of such great significance to be spoken to directly from above and to hear My Word that, in view of it, any misguided teaching truly has to disappear into thin air, for it has no further right to continue as truth. Because I Myself Am the source of truth, the eternal truth, Which cannot ever lead you into error, Which will not impose a misguided doctrine on you, Which eternally is and remains pure and sincere .... Consequently there can only ever be one truth, and this may not contradict itself ....

As long as you humans still abide by formalities, as long as you rely on these to achieve psychological maturity, you are lacking the foundation of truth .... And as long as you do not know the reason for your embodiment on this earth you will not take the right path which leads you to the goal you are meant to reach .... You humans should seriously consider to what extent each school of thought supported by you corresponds to My Word sent to you from above .... And try to find a person among you who has the grace and maturity from above to serve Me as a vessel .... In that case you will hardly find one teaching which contradicts another, for they are all taught by the spirit, they are taught by Myself, and this in all truth indeed. And My Word will penetrate everywhere .... even those still living in error will be spoken to but they have to voluntarily accept My gifts of grace, they cannot be forced to do so. Hence time and again there have to be people who, having been taught by My messengers, shall now labour in the vineyard by passing it on again ....

However, nothing happens without a struggle, no one will be willing to abandon the error, you will have to speak as My labourers and request My grace for this. But be aware, bringing pure truth to people who are already too enslaved by error is not an easy undertaking. Because every school of thought insists on its spiritual knowledge and can only be convinced if the human being has much love. Then the spirit is awakened and enlightens him from within. Then he accepts whatever you tell him and is grateful to you for the light by which he can now recognise and understand all correlations .... All schools of thought .... no matter what they call themselves .... need only ever be asked the question whether 'My spirit is working' in their group of people, which then expresses itself in a way that a person receives important knowledge without his own action .... knowledge, which enlightens him about his origin and his final goal .... That is where the pure truth from Me will be, because I can only ever say the same, since eternal truth never changes and thus continues to exist eternally. If only people took the right path, the path to Me and ask Me for clarification .... Truly, they would all be filled by the spirit and no person could become enslaved by misguided teachings. But this is a matter of free will, and people do not utilise their will but rather listen to what equally unenlightened people tell them. And for that reason the error grows immensely, for that reason it will not be recognised, and for that reason countless people support misguided teachings which, however, they could recognise as error if they applied their will to doing so. And that is the great spiritual hardship on account of which I need many workers in My vineyard .... But only a few will let themselves be taught by them, only a few accept as truth what they are offered from above .... But I will bless everyone who supports Me in My work, who informs people, thus helping to reduce the great spiritual hardship ....

Amen

Free will must accept the truth ....

B.D. 8850 from September 6th 1964, taken from Book No. 93

You can endorse everything I say to you before the world; for it needs the truth, with error and lies it will never find the path to Me. You humans might wonder why I allowed the error to become so widespread and I can only ever respond with the same answer, that your free will alone is the crucial factor as to whether or not you live in truth or in error. The fact that large congregations formed which continuously advocated their misguided opinions is also only based on their founder's free will, and the fact that untold people followed him again without forming their own opinion, without thinking about the responsibility of their attitude, must likewise be based on their free will .... Free will may neither be infringed upon by Me nor My adversary, yet My adversary has a far greater number of followers, because people don't think but leave this to the leaders whom they follow blindly. Yet they alone will not have to bear the responsibility for all their followers will also be accountable, and only the degree of love each person carries will decide which fate they will have to endure one day. And wherever it may be, time and again I will send a spark of light which can ignite again. My spirit will become effective everywhere, because people will also repeatedly attain a high degree of love again which will subsequently also offer Me the opportunity to reveal Myself, so that the pure truth can be conveyed to people over and over again. But who will accept it? Every person who portrays Me to his fellow human beings differently than they imagine Me to be is rejected, and therefore it is rarely possible to convey the truth to them. And no matter how clearly and unmistakably My Word is given to them .... people reject it .... because they are influenced by My adversary, who will always fight against the truth and has great power due to the fact that only a very few live a life of love according to My will and thus are no longer exposed to his interventions. And that is where My Word .... the pure truth .... will be accepted, they will recognise it as truth without their will being compelled .... But since the truth is offered to everyone, those people who did not accept it will have to accept responsibility for that, for they could just as easily have believed My Words as they did with error, because they possess free will.

And thus you, who want to serve Me, need only ever confront them with the pure truth, and every single person will have to form an opinion of it. If he is seriously interested in the pure truth he will reflect on it, and then he will no longer be unreceptive to My revelations. This is why the spreading of My doctrine is the most important thing for which I require you as servants in My vineyard, for love must pass it on, it must be offered with love, and thus it will also appeal to every person who likewise practices love and therefore is receptive to the truth. This battle between light and darkness will continue until the end, the adversary will become increasingly more powerful because people's free will allows it .... But I will also convey the truth to earth until the end, and this will highlight his activity and expose him, but it will only ever be obvious to those who are open-minded for the pure truth, whereas the others will hold on to their error and defend him. Even so, every soul you save from My adversary's trap is won for eternity. And the fact that in the kingdom of the beyond only that person is enlightened who knows the truth should impel you into increased vineyard work .... Consequently, anyone who does not let go of his error here, will take it along into eternity and be unable to attain bliss until he abandons his erroneous thinking. And again, it only depends on his degree of love whether realisation will come to him with lightening speed on entering the spiritual realm, so that he will let go of the error .... Therefore never forget to put the commandment of love first .... never forget to encourage people to live a life of love if they care about their souls' salvation .... Then a person will already have quiet doubts about his hitherto advocated truth. And then it will also be easier to bring him the truth, he will accept it without opposition and yet without infringing against his free will ....

Amen

Rejecting the divine word ....

B.D. 8851 from September 11th 1964, taken from Book No. 93

When My gospel is offered to you directly from above, then do not reject it, because you thereby only confess the ignorance of scripture, which testifies of Me. And one day you will bitterly regret it when you recognize whose word you have rejected and how much further you could have progressed upwards. Admittedly, your will is good, and you believe that the bible is complete and that every further word from Me is superfluous .... but I oppose you with something pure, unadulterated: it is 'My word', as it cannot be offered to you in a purer form .... And this you are to accept and place it above the scriptures, which have no longer been preserved in purity as they came forth from Me .... And consider this one thing that I let My word go to all those who have already reached a certain degree of maturity that they can well recognize My voice in it .... that only the will still has to be ready to be addressed by Me. It is a great gift of favour, which is granted to them, and that is not to be rejected. But I can no longer address men even more clearly to do no coercion to their free will, which must decide completely free, otherwise it would be easy for Me to put the stamp of truth on My revelations, but then also the self-decision would be invalid. But you men can recognize My voice, if you just practice love, but you are not allowed to let yourselves be determined by such, who are still weak in love and therefore want to turn you away from My word directly sent to you. Let everyone decide freely of himself and do not let himself be pushed away from the way, which he is prepared to go. And if he desires truth with all his heart, he will also find it through My direct address, because this gives him answer to every question, which only the heart expresses and which he wants to have answered .... Have I not spoken plainly enough through My apostle Paul that I will "reject the understanding of the prudent and destroy the wisdom of the wise, and by simple preaching I will make blessed those who believe in Me?" .... All of you are working your way through the scriptures and yet without awakening of the spirit you cannot come to the spiritual sense .... and what is easy for you to grasp you do not take to heart .... you do not want to accept what I have told you just as unmistakably .... And you will find just as many references to the "working of the spirit in you" in the scriptures, where (but) you search for the passages, which "supposedly" describe My direct address as satanic or not wanted by Me. Why do you not accept the "former", why do you cling to the latter and let your reasoning prevail? My word only speaks to the heart, and it can also only be understood by the heart. That is why it can only be understood by a loving man, and that is why also rarely only a man can be won for it, who has great intellectual knowledge, if he does not live in love at the same time. And My direct word will always be rejected by those who believe themselves to be called to teaching activity but whom I have not called to it Myself, for they lack the awakening of the spirit, and without such it is merely dead knowledge which is conveyed to people, it cannot be alive and therefore cannot result in living faith either .... whereas 'My word' already demonstrates a living faith and a person who receives My word is truly also a servant in My vineyard called by Me ...._>Amen

Can man suffer vicariously? ....

B.D. 8852 from September 13th 1964, taken from Book No. 93

The power of intercession is enormous .... You can avert much suffering from fellowman; you can supply them with the power, which those lack, who let them remain in complete powerlessness, until you send a power current to them through your intercession, that you therefore help them, and that not directly, but through Me, because I recognize your love, which you feel in such intercession for the neighbour. This influx of power however does not force their will, which is free, but the resistance decreases by itself, and the soul feels the power beneficently. Therefore you can always only ask Me for supply of power for those men, who are not able to this request themselves. And because your love is determining, I gladly fulfil the request for you, because you desire nothing for yourselves; you seek no own advantage, but worry about the salvation of the neighbour's soul. But you now must make a difference between a prayer for these men and your devotion to Me Myself, by you giving Me all your love. And this degree of love can grow in you and finally also extend to your fellow human beings that you embrace all with your love, because this is not otherwise possible when you are filled with love. And I want to reach this degree that you are completely absorbed in love for Me and your neighbour, so that you want to take the suffering upon yourselves, that you want to take the punishment upon yourselves which those have deserved .... But this would contradict My justice, since everyone is responsible for himself and also everyone has to atone for what he has caused. Admittedly, this contradicts Jesus Christ's act of salvation, Who, as a truly blameless human being, burdened Himself with all of humanity's sins out of love for it, Who therefore atoned for a guilt of sin in a representative manner, which was so great that only an angelic spirit, in Whom I Myself could embody Myself, could make this atonement, that I therefore redeemed the guilt Myself through My death on the cross. But this act was unique, and it will also remain so .... But a man's guilt can be redeemed through Jesus' work of redemption when he acknowledges Him, and then it belongs to the burden of sin, which man carries under the cross .... But this is every man's free matter of will and cannot be forced. Therefore it also has to be carried off still on earth or in the hereafter when man opposes the work of redemption. Intercession can be made for such people that they recognize their guilt and find their way to Jesus .... and this intercession has a great effect of strength. Then man comes of his own accord to the right recognition of his guilt, and he will make amends for it to the best of his ability or else call upon the one Who secures forgiveness for him. But it is impossible that the guilt can be remitted to him on the basis of the love of a man who wants to atone for it. This would not be justice, although love is prepared for it, because only one can cancel it, and this one wants to be called. (9/13/1964) But the love of a man, who is prepared to make atonement for his fellowman, is looked upon exceedingly favourably by Me. This is a love, which is completely free of I-love, which not only demands nothing for itself, but is prepared to take suffering upon itself, which therefore means a great plus for the soul, which also has an effect as power for fellowman, because it cannot remain without a spiritual success, both for him himself as well as for the soul, which comes into possession of a favour, which as it were must touch it with as strong will for improvement. It will itself recognize its defective state and also be willing to make a debt of atonement, but it will still have to bear it off itself .... It cannot be taken from it for the sake of justice .... You must always bear in mind that you cannot be spared the way to Jesus Christ, that in Him I demand My acknowledgment, *(added by a foreign hand: that I then also forgive every sin, that I have redeemed every atonement to be made by you through My blood on the cross .... that therefore every person himself must also take the path to Me*) that therefore every person himself must also take the path to Me, that therefore a guilt redeemed 'out of love for you' would release the human being from it, especially since many beings of light are embodied on earth whose love is so strong that they would gladly take upon themselves the suffering of others .... But your love has a favourable effect on those whom you would like to protect from the atonement for their guilt. And that is why no loving stirring of your hearts can remain without effect, because love is a power, which will always send out its rays .... because no loving thought vanishes and remains without effect. But every excess of love benefits man himself, because his body spiritualizes itself at the same time with his soul, and this spiritualization, which also causes great bodily suffering, you are all to strive for, to once help an original spirit, whose particles form your body, to mature faster ...._>Amen

Right feeding the soul ....

B.D. 8853 from September 15th 1964, taken from Book No. 93

Wherever I recognize the will to make contact with Me, My will is also prepared to give Myself away. And I hand out My gifts without limit because I know that you all need what only I can give you: proper food and proper drink for your soul .... If I do not give you the food you can refresh yourselves with, then you will truly perish, for the world offers you nothing for your soul .... But I invite you all to supper, and at My table everyone can feast and receive the right food that no one else can offer him .... And when I invite you then you are not allowed to resist; you must willingly accept this invitation because this is a special favour, a favour, which is granted to you undeservedly, but which I will hand out again and again to My guests, who only join Me intimately and desire a proof of My love, a proof of My presence. And when you want to let yourselves be fed by Me, then you will also receive power, which helps you up. You will always experience a blessing from My address. You will not enjoy My flesh and My blood without being able to record a success for your souls. Because I Myself am with you, you receive My word, My flesh and My blood. You also receive power with My word because I have blessed My word with My power. That is why you will now understand that I give Myself to you for food with the direct address, that I therefore can feed My guests with the most delicious gift, which can be offered to you .... that I bring you My word, which truly is My flesh and My blood, and that you can refresh yourselves with it. Then you will no longer know a state of weakness when My word is at your disposal, when you are addressed yourselves, when I therefore can communicate Myself to you, when you receive the power of My word and therefore now take part in communion as My guests .... whom I give the richer the more intimately they desire Me and My word. And what is now at your disposal, you who receive My word, that is a mighty knowledge, which makes you happy already on earth, because (then) you receive back again what had been lost to you .... you will be introduced to the knowledge about your original beginning and your final aim, about everything that was your own before your apostasy from Me and which I will be extremely pleased to impart to you in order to be able to draw you to My heart again, for I can only unite with you if you long for the bond with Me. And when such knowledge comes to you then you will recognize your creator as the most lovable creature (being) and also give Him all your love .... And this is what I want to achieve through My address, that you constantly let yourselves be fed and watered by Me, that you constantly receive knowledge which introduces you to all secrets which then also let you feel a measure of love for Me, for your host, Who only ever courts your love, Who wants to win you and Who therefore continually addresses you .... Who wants to entertain you as His guests with delicious food and delicious drink .... For everything that comes forth from Me is most perfect and will also serve to lead you humans to perfection if your will is not entirely opposed to Me ...._>Amen

Great spiritual need .... warning of new banishment ....

B.D. 8854 from September 16th 1964, taken from Book No. 93

That My word sounds to you all the time is also to be a perpetual impetus for you to your mission activity, because the spiritual trouble on earth is so great that you will truly undertake no vineyard work in vain, that everyone is once addressed by you and therefore also cannot remain without responsibility. I let My voice sound in every way; I touch men who are not receptive for the spoken word; I announce Myself to them in form of blows of fate, but I leave no man unwarned. Because they stand before their last decision and then have to take upon themselves the lot, which they have created for themselves. Oh, if only you humans would listen to My words, if only you humans would be aware of the earthly life you only lead for the sake of this decision .... You will not be able to enjoy earthly life for much longer, for you are approaching the end with giant strides .... And what comes afterwards is so dreadful that you are not able to grasp it, and I want to protect you from this dreadfulness and only demand of you that you listen to Me when I speak to you through My word or through strokes of fate .... It is always My language, which sounds to you, which only I can speak to you, because also in the latter I want to be heard by you. And you will still very often be affected by strokes of fate, for I express Myself in such a way that you should recognize Me as a power Which you cannot resist, and you must now acknowledge this power and call to It for help .... If you only acknowledge Me, if you send this call to Me fully consciously, then you are rescued for time and eternity, but I must demand this acknowledgement, otherwise your earth course is in vain, in which you are to turn towards Me again completely, as you had turned away from Me before. And the spiritual hardship is so great because it is a decision for eternal times, because if you make the wrong decision you will have to take the path through matter again from which I want to protect you. And as long as therefore My word sounds to you, you can be pointed out through these My messengers to the disaster, which threatens you, if you decide wrongly. You can take note of the knowledge, which is also not denied to you, which gives you information about your purpose of earth life, about your beginning and your final aim .... And blessed is he who accepts this knowledge, who lets himself be taught without resistance and who recognizes in the giver the creator of heaven and earth .... who feels himself to be His creature of Whose love and grace he is dependent .... And blessed are My messengers who always and constantly do vineyard work .... To them, too, I promise My help and only admonish them not to become lukewarm and indifferent in their work for Me and My kingdom .... For I know how great the spiritual need is .... I alone know where help can still be brought to erring souls, where people can be found who gladly accept My word and carry it on .... And My loving care is meant for all of them, so that no word is spoken in vain, which they express for Me and My kingdom, so that they are touched and also the power of My word is apparent to all. And My word will flow out there, where hearts willing to receive are found, and even if they are only few .... But these few will be rescued from the lot of a new banishment in solid matter ...._>Amen

Importance of the missionary work .... Making use of the knowledge ....

B.D. 8855 from September 19th 1964, taken from Book No. 93

Time and again you need to be told that your task solely consists of searching for Me so that I can let Myself be found by you, because I want to be the object of your love, and what you search for is what you desire, what you love .... I only want to gain your love and then you will have accomplished your purpose in life. Then I will be able to return your lost realisation to you while you are still on earth and you will enter an enlightened state, all darkness will have been overcome, you can let all abilities in you break through again, your earthly life will result in visible progress because you will have established a heartfelt bond with Me which gives you light and strength in abundance. And if you are therefore instructed by Me Myself about your original state, about the purpose and goal of earthly life, you need not fear any decline anymore, for this realisation will stay with you forever. Your only task remains to let your fellow human beings partake in this realisation of yours, even though it is up to them whether or not they want to accept this. You, however, possess the knowledge, and this can no longer be taken away from you .... However, as long as you still live on earth you must also make use of this knowledge, you cannot use it just for yourselves, it is connected to the task of passing this knowledge on to your fellow human beings who are still completely ignorant and who will react to it entirely differently. That which seems perfectly natural to you is incomprehensible to them as long as they are not seekers themselves and have an open ear for your disclosures. So this is the work you should do for Me, because it is My will that a bright light shall shine in all places, because I want to counteract My enemy and because I want you to participate in this battle. For he has done an excellent job by covering humanity with impenetrable darkness .... he has done everything in his power in order to undermine the pure truth from Me. And he has succeeded, for only a few people know their purpose in earthly life, only a few people keep My two commandments which I gave people as a basic prerequisite in order to gain the knowledge again. Love is indeed necessary in order to understand the offered information, without love it will remain dark in them, and without love they cannot establish contact with Me which would give an understanding of the knowledge to them. And therefore I can only ever tell you again: inform people of My commandments of love and, depending on their attitude towards them, the knowledge they are offered will either appeal to them or not. But you must not fail to constantly draw their attention to My love and explain to them that I do not implement anything which is not based on My love .... For people cannot understand that all kinds of misfortunes shall only ever impel them to turn to Me, to appeal to Me for advice and help, and I will truly help them as well, but this cannot happen if they don't believe in Me .... Hence you must teach them to believe in a God of love, wisdom and power .... Once they have gained this faith they will take the path to Me by themselves, and then your help will become evident, then they will also accept the knowledge and it will bring them peace and joy, just as you yourselves have received. I want to draw close to all people, I want to lead all people to the light, each one of them is dear to Me and I want to gain their love. Nevertheless, My adversary's activity will continue until the end and he will still win many victims for himself. For this reason you should class yourselves as My fighters who fight by My side for the salvation of souls. Even if only a few listen to you, every single soul is a gain for Me and it will be eternally grateful to you that you protected it from the fate of a renewed banishment. Always listen to what I have to say to you and don't think that I don't require your help .... I Am always willing to speak to you and to constantly increase your knowledge, and thus I want to continue instructing you because I still have much to say .... The time is approaching its end and you cannot be nourished often enough with My Word, for with My Word you also constantly receive strength, which is urgently needed by all of you for the work in My vineyard ....

Amen

Meaning and danger of free will ....

B.D. 8856 from September 20th 1964, taken from Book No. 93

All your soul substances had to go the way through the works of creation to gather again after endless long time, which are eternity terms for you, to the former original spirit, which had taken its start from Me, which had turned away from Me to the one, which had fallen away from Me first and is now therefore My opponent .... The endless torment in the bound state has now come to an end when this original spirit passes over the earth as soul of a man .... For the agonies, which he, as "still imperfect", has to go through, are to be called small in comparison to (those in) the time before, and he can now, with right use of his will, form the earth course very easily for himself and get rid of his last cover completely .... But he is also in great danger to direct his will wrongly .... And what this means cannot be described to you black enough, that you again pray for your won freedom, that you return there, from where My love and favour has helped you up. And yet this last test of will has to be put to you because it concerns your shaping of yourselves into a 'child of God', which until then had only been 'works of God'. If you look at this great significance of your earthly life in such a way that it concerns the attainment of childship to God .... if you will understand that only you can complete this work yourselves, that I can only provide you with an unmeasured measure of grace, that it is also very well possible to accomplish this work of transformation into a child of God, then you would do everything in your power to reach your aim, after all, it will then earn you a state of bliss which can no longer be surpassed .... But this has to be achieved by your free will alone .... And I will certainly convey the knowledge of this to you on the path of the spirit, which is therefore also pure truth .... But who accepts this knowledge? Who believes that it is truth? And still I cannot give you a hundred percent proof of it, because I cannot force your will to it, because you just have to believe what you are told about it. But the love towards My children is so powerful, and it is prepared for every gift of favour, and this love includes all those men, who are likewise devoted to Me in love and whom I therefore can also address without exercising a compulsion of will. But these find little hearing with their fellow human beings, who nevertheless all have the same task to change from creatures to children of God .... And only a small flock will be able to enter the highest kingdom of light at the end of their life, as children of God, who are to take up the father's inheritance .... But My love helps again and again that also those can ascend to the height who have not reached the highest degree of soul maturity but still were willing to fulfil My will .... But the majority of people in the last days inevitably go to the abyss again .... And these I can no longer come to their aid because they are completely in the power of My adversary, because they were not able to detach themselves, although they were able to do so in earth life time .... They had also reached a certain degree of maturity, intellect and free will had been given to them and they could have used both to turn away from him .... But their will was weakened, which only one could strengthen .... Jesus Christ, to Whom they should have taken refuge .... And also this knowledge has been given to them, but their will did not accept it. And since neither from My side nor from My adversary's side coercion was done to their will, they had the decision in their own hands. And they decided for him .... For them the whole earthly way of life was in vain. All agonies of pre-embodiment had been useless, and they have to cover the same course again until they are again admitted to embodiment as man. And no further favour can be given to them because the time is soon fulfilled. But whether the most powerful natural events will take place, whether men's attention will be drawn by unusual natural phenomena, nothing but only that touches them what is beneficial for their body. There is no longer any possibility to make the knowledge believable to them, which is supplied to them through My servants, whom I address directly .... They do not want to believe, and it is this will for which they have to answer, which puts them again into the outer shell, which they strive for. For the time has approached where I must again establish divine order so that everything can continue the course of ascent development, so that everything is again banished into the form, which men themselves strive for through their desire ...._>Amen

Israel .... (Meaning of the name)

B.D. 8857 from September 21st 1964, taken from Book No. 93

I will answer your every question providing you can derive some benefit for your soul .... For the knowledge you receive as an answer will help you achieve maturity of soul, it must increase your realisation, it must fill a gap in your education .... thus, it must not merely gratify your curiosity and, therefore, may not be a worldly question. You are thinking correctly insofar as that every name has its meaning but you are incapable of ascertaining it, especially when you associate an individual name with the name of a people to whom I Myself gave this name. In that case you must first understand what I Myself associated with this name .... that I chose a nation in order to introduce Myself, whilst amongst its people, to the world as their God and Creator .... that I chose these people in order to embody Myself within their midst .... that I therefore speak of the people of Israel, the people who only recognised one God, and I dwelled among them for that reason. I did not speak of those for whom I had not been Jesus Christ, the Redeemer .... instead, I spoke of those among them who acknowledged Me, who could call themselves true Israelites, for I was a real Israelite and rightfully entitled to assume this name, because I arose from the tribe of David, the first forefather of those who believed in Me and thus followed Me. Admittedly, they all called themselves Jews but they were, more or less, without faith, their faith was .... since they lacked love .... not a living one, and although they certainly taught faith in a 'God' in the temple, they themselves had no faith .... And so the 'People of Israel' will not consist of those whom you define as 'Jews' but of those who possess a living faith, who acknowledge Me, Who appeared as a Jew because I was a true 'Israelite' .... And now people who let themselves be instructed by Me directly will eagerly stand up for Me again, they support a spiritual idea and thus also belong to My Israelites, to the people of Israel who recognise their Saviour and Redeemer in Me, who feel connected to Me, who I can always speak to at all times. Even though it may not happen directly, they nevertheless hear Me indirectly, thus they belong to My messengers who carry the Gospel into the world. Consequently, even today I still speak to My people of Israel which also includes those who profess the acceptance of the one God, who only acknowledge one God Who embodied Himself in Jesus .... For you humans must specifically believe in the act of Salvation in order to find redemption, because this one God descended to earth and took on flesh. However, He had to prevail against all onslaughts, because He came into His world and His Own did not accept Him .... He suffered and died for humanity and they did not recognise Him because they were spiritually in the dark and refused to let go of the Temple laws which He campaigned against. And once again the time has come that He is no longer recognised .... once again the darkness is so great that it is difficult to find the right faith in Me, for hatred against the Jews will grow the nearer it is to the end .... And I will bless all those who stand up for Me before the world and I will speak to My people, whichever form it might take ....

Amen

Correction of a big error ....

B.D. 8858 from September 23rd 1964, taken from Book No. 93

(After reading: Lucifer’s Fall) (Lorber - Lutz)

In the beginning only perfection emanated from Me .... Hence you can object when I Am described to you as a Creator who has created ‘unclean’ spirits .... I Myself Am the Creator of all beings because there is no strength apart from Me which could create beings. And thus the first spirit of light whom I externalized was enlightened by My strength, and only perfection could emanate from our mutual will of love and strength .... And this is precisely what you have to understand, that I cannot act in opposition to My order of eternity, that I could not have externalized imperfect beings from within Myself either, who did not decide to abandon Me voluntarily until after an infinitely long time, who were not influenced by Me in any way to infringe against the divine order but who acted with completely free will. Only in view of that can you can understand My eternal plan, that My objective is their deification, and in view of that you can also understand why Lucifer .... the light bearer .... became My direct opposite ....

When you are given an entirely impossible description concerning the creation of beings you will doubt My perfection, and you will also doubt My love for every creation which, ‘according to My will’ was (supposed to be) ‘faulty’ from the start. In that case you cannot comprehend the process which was intrinsic to the rejection of My strength of love, and I have to make the truth available to you, because one error is followed by another .... That such an error could have crept into divine revelation is always the result of intellectual thought, which is used by My adversary to cause confusion, which in turn is the reason why I have to reveal Myself again and again, and (in order to) lead you into the truth in all purity ....

Eternities had elapsed before the apostasy from Me occurred .... thus My love was able to continuously enlighten the beings and they were in a constant state of abundant blissfulness. And even the being which I had created as My first vessel for the emanation of My love had been receiving the flow of My love’s strength for eternities before it detached itself from Me out of free will, which it possessed as a divine living creation. However, if I had created an ‘unclean’ being, I Myself could have been accused of having given life to such a being, but this cannot eternally be the case because I Am perfection Itself. I have no imperfections, I Am pure love, and This does not create anything unclean, but It will do everything to lead whatever has become unclean back to purification ....

Yet how wrongly the act of creation is depicted to you .... And what consequences will result from this .... And time and again I bring you the absolute truth, because without it you cannot know Me properly, because your idea of Me questions My perfection, and because of this you cannot love this Being, Whose perfection you doubt, either. Because you, too, have emanated from Me in complete perfection, even though you have taken the path through the abyss to once again become what you were in the beginning. You will understand that I cannot explain all spiritual reasons in view of your lack of awareness which you are now experiencing due to the sin of rebellion against Me, nevertheless everything you are told relating to it has to correlate, and you can safely dismiss any blatant contradiction and explain it to yourselves by the fact that human intelligence, which can be influenced by the adversary, played a part in it.

Only My plan of deifying My created beings has caused Me not to oppose the apostasy of the beings, but this occurred in free will from the position of utmost perfection into the deepest abyss .... and only the certainty that I will regain all these beings prevented Me from stopping them, but this does not refute the fact that they had been created in absolute perfection just like their lord who, as the light bearer, was the first to fall away. However, I had not created him in a manner that he had to do so but free will was the cause of the fall, just as free will has to seek to ascend again in order to become what it was in the beginning ....

Amen

Correction of a big error ....

B.D. 8859 from September 24th 1964, taken from Book No. 93

(Continuation of no 8858)

When your belief in My perfection is taken from you, when you doubt it, then you are subject to a misguided doctrine which can entirely destroy your faith, because you then have no guarantee that I Am telling you the absolute truth, which can only be given to you by a supremely perfect Being .... And in that case your former will would not have been quite so grave, because if you had been ‘created imperfectly’ you could also find a reason therein for having fallen .... and such misguided teaching has to be most decisively rebutted .... You must know that you were fully enlightened at the time of your fall .... that you were not surrounded by the least amount of twilight or darkness at the moment of your apostasy from Me and that you, like Myself, had been supremely perfect .... i.e. beings of light .... whose fall would simply have been incomprehensible if you had not been in possession of free will as the sign of your divinity.

The fact that the first created original spirit was endowed with the same abundance of light and need not have fallen, that he voluntarily changed himself into the opposite, was not My will, it was not My doing, it was entirely the result of his free will which, nevertheless, could not dispute My perfection. Neither had it been determined since eternity that the first created spirit had to fall, although I had known since eternity how he was going to direct his will. But if his fall had been planned, as you erroneously assume, he would not have had free will, and I would not be a perfect Being if I had transmitted My will onto him ....

Surely this has to make sense to those of you who question My perfection, who allow yourselves to be influenced by descriptions offered to you by a human lack of common sense in order to undermine Me and the pure truth. I cannot counter the errors often enough which slip into My Word time and again, although I protect My messengers who receive it directly from Me. But as soon as the desire for pure truth was not predominant My adversary was also able to interfere and cause confusion by first questioning My perfection, and thus misguided teachings arose which I constantly have to correct if I want people to receive the truth. This is extremely important before the end because My Being should be accurately described to enable the emergence of love which I expect of My living creations, and this love can only be given to a supremely perfect Being, Which in Itself does not have the least imperfection .... Only I alone know that and why My first created spirit has fallen, but it has been explained to you as far as you are able to understand it .... But if you associate this with My will, Which wants everyone to achieve utmost bliss, then it is a most blatantly misguided doctrine, which could only have been fashioned by an unenlightened spirit .... a purely intellectual thought process .... Because My will is good, it will never initiate something contrary to this, it can only ever express itself in accordance with My love, thus it could not have determined the fall of the first being itself, while at the same time allowing every being its free will, irrespective of how it is used ....

For I have known thereof since eternity and thus have also been able to establish My plan of salvation accordingly .... because I foresaw with what hatred he is opposing Me, he has now become My direct opposite who, however, nevertheless contributes towards helping Me redeem vast numbers of My beings, albeit involuntarily. Because one thing I could not do: I could not create children for Myself, because the free will of the being itself has to become active .... And that has been My intention from the start, but it did not necessitate My first being’s fall into the abyss because, truly, I still have many options to achieve the goal I have set Myself .... And thus I Myself would not have wanted something which was (would be) a sin against Myself for which I then would (have) let the beings walk an eternally long path in agony in order to become what they were in the beginning. Such a description of My fundamental essence, Which could only create and plan with supreme perfection, is wrong and will have to be denounced time and again as wrong, because from within My power I have created everything in existence with deepest love, with superlative wisdom. And all of this proves My perfection to you, because I do not bring something into being without meaning and reason and thus also want to be recognised and loved as supremely perfect ....

(Continuation of no 8858 and 8859)

I cannot let you, who have accepted the task of spreading and supporting the truth, live in error, and therefore you first need to know where error has crept in. You will see that all doctrines will be pulled to pieces and that you will then have to stand firm, which you will be able to do if you are in possession of the truth. Then you will succeed in disproving every objection, for I Myself will place the words into your mouth, but I can only do so when I recognise that you only want to advocate the purest truth, in which case you need not fear anyone who wants to shake your faith. For this reason I instruct you to the very last detail and draw your attention to where error has crept in, always bearing in mind that one day you will have to voice your opinion, and then you should be able to maintain it .... You should not let yourselves be intimidated but always defeat the adversary with My Word when you come across contradictions, for I will not leave you without help, I know every question and will answer it for you so that you will never be at a loss for a reply. And you should always ask people whether they desire nothing but the pure truth .... for only this is decisive .... People still have far too little desire for truth, they do not appeal for protection against all errors sincerely enough, on account of which the one they need to guard against is able to intervene .... But all people believe that they desire the truth .... In that case, however, they would be unable to make mistakes, for I truly protect everyone who wants to serve Me in the spreading of the truth! However, you, who possess the right desire for truth, will become suspicious as soon as you discover a misguided teaching, and then you need only make contact with Me and I will always enlighten you as to how such misguided teaching had come about and what it consisted of .... This is why the process of Creation was explained to you in such a way that your God and Creator's love, wisdom and power was its reason, so that you can no longer doubt His perfection either .... Everything has been explained to you with greater than great love which is boundless and gives itself to all created beings, even those which had once fallen away from Me .... For love cannot perish, it follows those who are lost in the abyss and tries to motivate them to return. For this reason I portrayed the act of creation such that I also embraced the first being with boundless love, that I delighted in its bliss and that I would never ever have withdrawn My love had the being not rejected it voluntarily. But I have also explained to you what free will entailed .... that the being was able to change itself and had left the eternal order .... and that, because it possessed free will, it could not be prevented from distancing itself from My law of eternal order .... The sin consisted of leaving My law, but at no time ever did I cause a being to do so, since this would contradict My love ....

I Myself Am fundamentally good, nothing exists in Me which disagrees with the law, nor can I hate any being, I will always pursue it with My love .... I merely cannot make a being blissfully happy if it has transgressed against Me .... And neither can I say that it was My will that the first being should fall .... You do not know Me in My immense love and mercy which speaks no harsh Words, regardless of how guilty you are .... I merely state what corresponds to facts, nevertheless, without getting angry, for My love is greater than My wrath, and whatever I implement according to My eternal plan of Salvation only ever happens for love, which is intended for you for all eternity .... Anyone who therefore believes that Lucifer had to fall in order to be a welcome tool for Me, thus, in order to serve Me as a direct opposite, confuses the knowledge of his will, which was known to Me from the start, with a purpose for the being. For this will was .... because it was free .... opposed to Me, so that I was able to build My plan of Salvation on it. The fact that a being, which was created in all perfection, was able to turn into the opposite .... that it could feel such depth of hate towards Me, cannot be attributed to Me, as I Am Love Itself and did not withdraw My love from this being either, because hatred is an ungodly quality which can never find room in Me but which .... since free will was able to distance itself from Me so vastly, was also able to turn into intense hate .... But that does not mean that hatred is present in Me, that I incorporate everything .... good as well as evil. Everything that exists in Me is in divine order, only that which is outside of Me is also outside of the eternal order. You humans must understand that it is incorrect for you to believe that you can discover even the slightest wrong order in Me, since then I would not be perfect, which only good in its highest perfection can be. The fact that My infinite love is also accompanied by justice is certainly the cause for all kinds of suffering and adversities affecting you humans, but I would only too gladly keep them at bay if your right inclination of will would allow for it. And thus the distance of My first-created being has become so vast because he himself caused this distance from Me which, for the sake of justice, I cannot reduce arbitrarily. Instead, he will remain My direct opposite for Me and My plan of Salvation until he, too, can finally be redeemed. Therefore I explained the act of Creation to you such that you won't follow a wrong line of thought which will make you doubt My supremely perfect nature Which externalised everything in most profound love .... And where love is present no evil thought can ever determine the fall of a being .... a thought, which can never be from Me because I Am supremely perfect.

Hand your every trouble over to Me and I will grant you comfort and inner calm, because with Me nothing is impossible. Neither is it impossible for Me to give you the right explanation as to why I did not prevent the occurrence of errors in such important questions such as the 'fall of the spirits, which presents Me and My act of Creation differently to the clarification I have given to you .... The question of where 'evil' originated from has always been asked .... whether all good and evil qualities are incorporated in Me, and this question always involved far too much human thought .... since people have always judged Me and My nature by their own standards but in so doing they failed to appeal for receiving the pure truth, instead they provided themselves with an explanation about My nature and this started My adversary's activity. And thus you already have the explanation for what supposedly has also been 'My revelation' .... the reason why error entered 'divine revelations' .... As soon as protection from misguided thinking is appealed for such inaccuracy cannot happen, because I Am incapable of lying, but as the spirit of lies more likely corresponds to human thinking, he has instant access to people's intellect. I cannot contradict Myself. And since I now have the guarantee that an appeal for protection from error always precedes these writings .... since it is also the time of the end when I have sent a spirit of light to earth in order to inform people in all truthfulness of My reign and activity .... there only remains the rejection of these writings .... as being contrary to the erroneous description .... or their complete acceptance. You humans can use your own discretion as to whether you want to acknowledge Me as supremely perfect or whether you imagine Me with flaws, thus also with evil qualities. It is up to you humans what you want to acknowledge, because error only happened in a few instances, therefore test all things and keep what is good. But the fact that mistakes have occurred is certain, and therefore a great desire for truth must predominate again amongst people in order to recognise what corresponds to truth.

And again, only a small number of people desire the purest truth, but they will know where human intellect was more involved so that it drowned out the inner voice .... Added to this came the 'human implementation' when intellectual thought intervened once more and devalued the 'divine revelation', but which only ever requires the desire for truth so as to be able to recognise it as error. For this reason I made My prophesies come true and, time and again, every century rectified what required clarification .... Therefore two directions will also emerge once again, and yet again it will involve 'conformists' or those who are interested in the pure truth .... It only ever concerns the fact that everything which leaves My eternal order no longer corresponds to My nature, that everything turns into the opposite, but that I Myself can only ever move within the eternal order .... Hence, the person who is ruled by his intellect alone is already outside My law and grants influence to the one who likewise stands outside the eternal order. And therefore you have no idea how highly I value your appeal to protect you from error, for this request truly guarantees you the greatest spiritual success .... This problem, too, had to be discussed sooner or later, and therefore nothing is 'coincidence', everything is predetermined in order to provide the necessary information, because every error is a danger for the human being's spiritual state. However, anyone who desires the truth will object to this doctrine, he will discard it as wrong, he will test it and keep what is good .... Even so, I cannot force any person to make an appeal which he himself must send up to Me from within: the appeal for protection from error. But where this desire for truth is so embedded in the heart, the guarantee for truth is also given. And this truth shall be spread, because the time of the end has come ....

What can be regarded as divine revelation? ....

B.D. 8862 from September 30th 1964, taken from Book No. 93

The great quantity of that which is accepted by people as 'divine revelation' is also a sign of satanic activity, for he seeks to undermine My pure Word in the same way by availing himself of My Words in order to confuse people. However, the comment 'I shall pour out My spirit over all flesh' must not be understood such that everyone believes themselves to hear My speech, but the thoughts of those who desire to be instructed in the truth are guided by Me accordingly. And where two or three are together, I Am in the midst of them, so that they, too, will know themselves to be guided by My spirit if I Myself Am the subject of their conversation .... Everyone will certainly be able to hear Me within himself if he appeals to Me for guidance on the right path .... And thus the working of My spirit will be observable in every person who preaches love for Me and in turn motivates other people to love. I will also speak through him but always in his usual manner of speaking, so that a hearing of the 'inner Word' cannot be spoken of .... For this is only recognisable by the fact that I emanate a light of such radiance at the same time that it illuminates the darkness and provides people with the right clarification about all questions posed by the spiritual seekers .... for they shall receive light in order to pass it on. For this reason I have, very wisely, announced such bearers of light for every era whom I enlighten time and again about the actual purpose of life and the human being's task .... about the reason of embodiment and the final goal .... in short, about everything that humanity lost as a result of their lack of faith and their ever increasing distance from Me .... Hence, the fact that bearers of light exist in the truest sense of the word cannot be denied, however, they are not often to be found and therefore I announced them as returning 'in every era' .... From this alone it is evident that such Word-recipients are unique .... and that they can be granted utter credibility. But once a person is so intimately in contact with Me and listens within during this contact then he will indeed be able to hear Me, for I promised you that I will be with everyone who unites with Me in prayer.

Nevertheless, you humans must not forget that the adversary is able to express himself in the same way if your thoughts digress and you enter into his sphere, and that he will then speak to you under the guise of piety as soon as you allow him to influence you. For this reason you must be extremely careful, you must withdraw into your closet if you want to hear Me, you must not believe that I speak through you to people directly but that you, if you communicate with people, speak in your usual manner .... Then I will certainly be able to guide your thoughts correctly so that they voice what is right but you will always express yourselves in your normal manner of speaking. You must make the distinction that you can indeed speak as I want, that your thoughts will be guided by My, but that you will never hear Me Myself such that you can say: I Myself Am speaking through you .... and the same applies to 'where two or three are gathered together in My name ....' or 'I shall put the Words in your mouth' so that you will then speak according to My will. However, the Words people write down, the Words they hear in the silence of their heart, can certainly be endorsed by them as My direct speech, but where I Myself Am supposed to speak through a person to a congregations, so that they therefore believe they are hearing Me Myself, that they no longer speak in their normal manner of speaking, I will not express Myself even if they want to verify it with the name of Jesus .... For this gift of the audible Word is so rare and requires such a high degree of maturity that it is almost impossible to find a suitable vessel for it .... And those who audibly hear My Word within themselves will only hear it occasionally, in great adversity or danger or when a person is embraced by My great love .... But then it will only be moments when a person can state that he has clearly heard Me .... Yet the saying 'I will pour out My spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions ....' is generally interpreted according to wishful thinking, so that everyone believes himself to hear the Father's Words which, however, can only be received in seclusion and which then can indeed motivate a person to truthfully point out the forthcoming Judgment to people .... For it is the time of the end which makes it necessary for Me to let such prophets and seers appear and to speak according to My will, as I have promised ....

Amen

How did evil arise? ....

B.D. 8863 from October 3rd 1964, taken from Book No. 93

As soon as you humans see your God and Creator in Me, as soon as you have established the right relationship with Me .... the relationship of a child with its Father .... you will also have the right contact with Me, that is, you will be filled by profound humility and expect to hear My Word, which I will not deny to anyone of you who prays to Me in the right way .... which requires absolute humility without fail. For I bestow My grace upon the humble .... But you humans have to be receptive to My Words, you must recognise every thought arising in you after heartfelt prayer as a reply from Me, for then it will be impossible for you to think differently than it is My will, because I have given you the promise that you will only have to pray correctly to Me .... i.e. in spirit and in truth .... so that I will listen to and grant your prayer. Nevertheless you need not expect unusual results .... such as audibly hearing My voice .... but every thought arising in you after a heartfelt prayer is My answer, and then you will truly only have benevolent thoughts which cannot have emerged from any other source but from Me. You must always bear in mind that I know when you think of Me, and that you then cannot be affected by adverse thoughts. You ought to know that this attitude of yours towards Me is pleasing to Me and that I can then give to you what suits your maturity of soul .... that I can express Myself audibly which, however, is only rarely possible. But if I Am able to express Myself audibly then it will exclude all error, for then it will sound in you like a delicate little bell, you will be overjoyed if you can hear My voice like this. And then I will be able to convey revelations of profound wisdom to you and you can unhesitatingly believe such revelations .... Only one thing has to be remembered, that the human being's intellectual considerations of such problems can lead him onto the wrong path which provides the adversary with an opportunity to intervene, in which case he will in fact also hear a voice but it will not make him happy, instead it will trigger a mild sense of unease in him. And this voice will then solve the problem according to the human being's will. Therefore questions of this kind make it particularly necessary to first send an appeal for 'protection from error' up to Me above, because this appeal will protect him from the adversary's activity. Then he will make himself receptive to the answer which can be imparted to him from Me directly, because his appeal displaces the adversary ....

And especially the question as to whether evil also came forth from Me is still occupying you humans today as much as at the time of these revelations .... But I can only ever tell you that I cannot have an evil thought within Me, that everything that emerged from Me can only be good. How, then, did 'evil' come into the world? .... The explanation rests in the being's 'thinking ability' .... For this was free, thus it was able to voluntarily change the good thought transmitted by Me to the being. And free will signifies the ability to develop in either direction .... Hence evil was born out of free will, it did not previously exist but is a product of free will, it is .... since its thinking ability did not impose any barriers on the being .... a product of creation by the one who declared his power in opposition to Me and My will, who therefore .... since he was creatively inclined .... also 'created' evil .... that it was his responsibility for bringing it into the world and thereby became a deceitful being. You always want to accuse Me, the most perfect Being, of evil, which could never have found room in Me. But you do not comprehend the fact that My adversary himself was the origin of evil, that he changed his faculty of thought into evil because he distanced himself from the circuit of My flow of love and that this was therefore a 'departure' from My eternal order .... The fact that he, like I Myself, was an independent being who was capable of changing and had changed the good thoughts I transmitted to him into the opposite of his own free will was the beginning of the sin against Me, for I had given free will to all beings, I had endowed all beings with the faculty of thought .... How else could it be that not all beings used their free will and their thinking ability in the same way? .... He himself brought evil forth from himself which started because he felt the wrong kind of love, because he was envious of My strength and from this emerged everything bad but which originated within himself because he used his thinking ability wrongly and which I was unable to change due to his freedom of will. Yet he did not receive any wrong thoughts from Me. You must always consider that this being .... Lucifer or the bearer of light .... differed from the beings which our combined strength and will created .... that I created an image of Myself in him, a being whose nature was exactly like My own and to which I also gave the greatest power of creation .... and which was also exceedingly good. But the profusion of our mutually produced beings made him arrogant, and this arrogance temporarily clouded his faculty of thought, which was already a slight hint of selfish love that opposed My nature.

And therefore I say: whatever existed outside of Me no longer existed in My order. And this being .... Lucifer .... disassociated himself from Me and everything in him changed into an arch-evil being, he produced all characteristics and brought them into the open himself. You can only ever state that he, being a power like Myself .... brought evil into the world, but not that evil is in Me as well and that I had transferred it onto these beings. For the fact that non-fallen beings existed should convince you that the 'faculty of thought' did not have to lead to the fall but that My adversary had many means at his disposal in order to make his followers fall as well. Just the fact that I, as the highest Being, was not visible to them but that he shone in an abundance of light and they acknowledged him as their God even though they were brightly enlightened. For the apostasy took place over an infinitely long period of time, thus he could not have been created by Me as a deceitful spirit, and all these evil attributes were gradually able to evolve, yet they never originated in Me but in the one who was as powerful as Me and merely had a beginning, which he knew full well. And thus evil, too, has had a beginning with the start of the spirits' apostasy from Me .... Until then, however, everything was perfect and therefore he also emerged in all perfection from Me which, however, did not exclude that he used his gifts differently than I had intended them to be used .... And this was subsequently achieved by his 'thinking ability' which, however, was not determined by Me, in fact only good thoughts flowed to him from Me .... And time and again I draw your attention to the myriad of non-fallen beings which likewise had the faculty of thought but which discovered Lucifer's abuse of strength, who brought evil into the world and then accused Me Myself that I have evil within Me, and thus he will also always lead those people astray who are receptive to this ....

Amen

God cannot 'excuse' the sins ....

B.D. 8864 from October 8th 1964, taken from Book No. 93

My love is truly so great that I would like to cancel all your guilt, for you came forth from My love and this love will never change. Yet I would no longer be perfect were I to violate My eternal law of order by evading righteousness which, after all, requires atonement for every sin. And besides, a human being had to pay the purchase price for your souls, for you equally belonged to My adversary and I did not want to deny him his right over you. He would never have set you free had a human being not defeated him with love so that he was no longer able to keep hold of the soul which wanted to detach itself from him. For the immense guilt tied the souls to My adversary and he did not loosen the restraint until the human being Jesus wrested it from his hands with his act of Salvation, but then it was up to every person himself to make use of His help. Now, during life on earth .... in the state of free will .... it is a matter of making the decision of acknowledging the rescue mission by the human being Jesus and accepting salvation from Satan's fetters. Yet he will not release his own without a fight, since they willingly followed him into the abyss. They are his followers, his power, whom he will not release of his own free will. And therefore it also required a greater than great act of love, an act of compassion, which only an angel-spirit was able to accomplish, because no human being on earth was capable of such love, since they were entirely without love. The fallen beings had distanced themselves too much as to feel love and therefore a prayer for redemption from their past guilt was entirely out of the question.'Love' had to sacrifice Itself and thus also carry out the act of Salvation in the human being Jesus, Who took upon Himself the most appalling suffering and pain for the sake of love, against which My adversary was powerless and therefore had to release the souls who accepted the act of Salvation, which gained them a stronger will .... for I died on the cross purely for this strengthening of will, since due to the sin of apostasy the will was utterly weakened and no being would have been able to rise up against its prison guard.

This path of the cross was essential, for then the adversary recognised the power and strength of love which was capable of such an act of compassion and he had to surrender to this love, for it was greater than his hatred, it reclaims all souls from him if they want to be released from him .... he cannot hold on to them because they now also recognise the magnitude of their guilt and with their appeal for forgiveness demonstrate that they want to return to the One Who created them .... But also the fact that I wanted to become a visible God for you motivated Me to embody Myself in the human being Jesus, Who loved His fallen brothers to such an extent that He took the hardest path of suffering on earth and concluded it with His death on the cross .... This human manifestation in Jesus was also the motive for His inconceivable suffering, for the beings' were previously unable to behold Me, which was the reason for their apostasy from Me .... Therefore I chose a perceptible form for people as to be visible to them, but this form also had to have overcome the deepest abyss due to love, which included the suffering and dying on the cross, in order to completely spiritualise itself so that it would be able to accept My love completely, in order to become a visible God for the souls of people Whom they would be able to behold face to face when they themselves have become one with Me through love and found unity with Me .... You humans will never ever be able to visualise Me because I Am an eternal fire Which would completely consume you. And that was also known by the bearer of light .... Lucifer .... and yet he desired to behold Me. He was utterly illuminated and therefore presented himself as 'Creator' from whom the beings had emerged .... And the beings, too, knew that he had a beginning and yet they followed him into the abyss. And the Redeemer Jesus Christ can liberate you from this guilt .... against better knowledge .... He alone was able to pay the price of atonement to the adversary for all souls who want to be released from him. For I Myself was in Jesus as the eternal love, I sacrificed Myself for humanity's sins .... and became a visible God in the perceptible shell of the human being Jesus .... And at the same time the human being Jesus rendered the atonement for My justice, for no guilt can remain unatoned if I don't want to violate the law of My eternal order. But since 'Love' paid for it everyone can become free from his guilt, for essentially I accomplished the 'act of Salvation' Myself, I merely made use of a human form which sheltered the fullness of Myself within itself but which redeemed humanity with suffering and pain from the one who has the same right to these souls in view of the fact that they had voluntarily followed him ....

Comforting Fatherly Words ....

B.D. 8865 from October 10th 1964, taken from Book No. 93

If only you trusted Me wholeheartedly then nothing in your earthly life would be able to worry you, because your destiny is in My hands and depending on your trust in Me I can give you what you need. Little faith, however, prevents Me from considering you in a way I would like .... Therefore you should let everything approach you and not do anything of your own will, for especially you who want to be of service to Me can rest assured that I will smooth your every path if only you always commend yourselves to My love and grace, for truly, all means are at My disposal and I guide your destiny such that it will benefit you and the vineyard work you shall still carry out for Me. After all, it should be obvious to you that I Myself wouldn't want you to disrupt the work .... You can imagine that nothing is unknown to Me that will help you, and therefore you will also be led wherever and however My will decides. And I will make the decision easy for you, for all of you will be of one mind. And then you will also know that I Am involved, that you should hold on to My hand and believe that I will keep helping you .... For I still want a great deal of work to be done and you should place your efforts at My disposal for it involves exposing further errors and confronting them, which you can only do with My support ....

And thus I also need loyal servants who, on the one hand, are willing to accept the spiritual knowledge, and on the other to distribute it, for the spiritual crisis is getting increasingly worse and people are in urgent need of explanations, because they instinctively reject the misguided teachings and, alongside these, also the right ones and are therefore lacking all faith .... And the fact that I need you for this service should already suffice to make My care of you and your earthly requirements understandable to you. For one day you will find out how richly blessed this work of yours has been, even though it does not compel but leaves every individual person free to believe. Yet your work is visible as rays of light in the beyond, thus everyone following the light can come to realise the truth, and there are not just a few who help themselves to strength and light, even if it seems to you that your effort on earth is often in vain. And therefore believe that I guide My servants on earth through all dangers of body and soul and never take My hand away from them, and only wish you to hold on and faithfully place your trust in Me .... Then every problem, every unpleasant situation will resolve itself so self-evidently that you will only ever recognise the obvious protection of My kind Fatherly hand which does not allow you to be harmed. And the more you trust Me the more evident will also be My help, which then will be without limitation ....

Amen

Acknowledgment of Jesus .... Final decision of faith ....

B.D. 8866 from October 11th 1964, taken from Book No. 93

It depends on your free decision of will as to whether the gate into the eternity of light after the death of your body will be open for you, it depends on whether you establish such a close bond with Me that you acknowledge your God and Redeemer, that you recognise Me as the Saviour from sin and death and completely hand yourselves over to Me .... and thus can no longer separate Me from Jesus, that you bring all your guilt to Me under the cross and appeal to Me for forgiveness of this guilt .... I really don't ask much of you in order to then receive you into the kingdom that is permeated by light .... I only want your acknowledgment of Jesus, who descended to earth as the Son of God and became My external shell so as to enable Me to become visible to you .... I don't ask for much and yet you find it so difficult to acquire the heavenly kingdom because you have to fight against pride, selfishness and all bad habits which are the signs that you still belong to My adversary, who transferred all these vices and bad habits onto you so that you became like-minded and distanced yourselves from Me abysmally. And for the most part these bad habits still exist in you when you live as a human being on earth, but with the help of Jesus you can easily discard them, for he has acquired a stronger will on your behalf, thus it is not impossible for you to free yourselves from these bad habits.

But then again it depends on to whom you grant your will, and this alone shall determine your fate in eternity. The knowledge about the Salvation through Jesus Christ is only very weak these days, only a few believe in the act of Salvation and completely hand themselves over to Me in Him, who make use of the blessings acquired on the cross and want to liberate themselves from all guilt .... But they are certain to find redemption and will be able to enter in brightly radiating light through the gates into My kingdom. Time and again I speak to people and explain to them what is most important, what they have to know .... about Jesus Christ's act of Salvation .... However, the fact that most people keep their ears closed, that hardly a single spiritual Word can be spoken to them, is My adversary's doing, who in the last days will make every effort in order to still seduce those of weak faith, presenting everything to them as a myth which no-one believes anymore.

And again, I can only admonish you to establish a heartfelt bond with Me, your God and Creator, and to look for the light inside yourselves which I will kindle in every one of you if only you have the sincere desire to get to the bottom of the truth. Then you will also receive enlightenment about Jesus Christ and His act of Salvation and no longer be unbelievers. But try to obtain this enlightenment before the battles of faith begins, for then you will be required to make the decision for or against Me. Then you will have to stand firm and must have acquired so much knowledge about it already that you will not need to fear any contradictions, that you can stand up for Him and His act of Salvation with full conviction .... Yet this time ought to be feared by all those whose faith is still so weak that it will only take a small push to surrender it completely .... And that will be the last decision of faith which nevertheless has to be taken before the end .... And then it will become evident how many will forsake their faith and how many people will be lost and have to approach a new banishment because there is no way out anymore. Therefore I can only ever speak to, let you know in advance what fate awaits you and admonish all people to establish a more heartfelt bond with Me, who have not yet entirely abandoned Me and also know about the divine Redeemer even though they lack faith .... But it is My serious endeavour to guide them into faith, to describe the blessings of the act of Salvation to them and to admonish them to obtain a true light in regards to it, which I will gladly kindle in them so that they, too, will find redemption from sin and death ....

Amen

Exceeding grace of God is His address ....

B.D. 8867 from October 13th 1964, taken from Book No. 93

The grace to hear Myself is so immeasurably great that you are not able to grasp it. I Myself, your God and father, incline towards you humans and address you .... The highest spirit of infinity, the creator of all that is .... the controller of all events .... Who rules on earth as well as in heaven .... Who created the whole universe .... Who speaks to you men, who are the original spirits fallen away from Him, and He therefore speaks to you to cause your return to Him .... He does not give you up in eternity, and whether you still remain in the distance from Him for eternities .... My love towards you is boundless, and that is why it does not rest before it has not succeeded in the work of return, before the last fallen away spiritual has not been redeemed, before also the lost son has not returned into the father - house .... But that you men can establish this connection with Me, that is the greatest miracle .... that I Myself incline towards you and hold dialogue with you, who are still far away from your perfection! I speak to all of you and make My will known to you, which only consists of you changing yourselves back to what you were in the beginning. And you all can hear Me when you listen to the vessel .... the person whom I have chosen to be able to address you all. I only require of you that you open your hearts to Me, that not only your ear hears the words but the heart can hear Me .... and that you now also comply with it, that you now comply with My will and live such that you change yourselves .... that you transform the selfish love in you into pure, unselfish love and thereby come close to your perfection. It is an unusual gift of favour, which I offer to each of you, and one day you will bitterly regret it, if you completely pass it by. Because there is no longer much time left for you until the end, and not to have made use of the last great favour will throw you far back, and in the end the new banishment will again be your lot. And I want to spare you that, that is why you are also to lend your ear to those who bring you My messages, who I have appointed to send you admonitions and warnings and who have the right from Me to be allowed to call themselves My messengers, whom I always and constantly instruct and who are to do the same to you so that you also learn about My will and seek to fulfil it. In which trouble you are, that you do not know, because the world cannot offer you what your soul demands. It can only hinder you to satisfy the soul's desire. And the soul is in great spiritual trouble, because earth life is soon over, and the soul was not respected. Its state in the kingdom of the beyond is therefore miserable; it stands naked and bare at the gate to the hereafter and has nothing to show of spiritual goods .... And I want to remedy this great spiritual misery and address all of you. But since you possess free will I cannot persuade you to accept it, but you should always bear in mind the fact that you are in possession of a great grace when your God and father Himself addresses you, and that one day you will have to answer for yourselves whether you have made use of this grace .... For once you must accomplish the transformation to perfection, and if you do not achieve it in this earthly life, then you run the risk of having to go through matter once more .... But this is so dreadful that I use all means to move you to this change before, so that the fate of new banishment does not hit you when the end has come ...._>Amen

Different status of the created beings ....

B.D. 8868 from October 14th 1964, taken from Book No. 93

Believe Me that I still have to correct many misconceptions if you are to live in truth and defend it. You have a completely wrong concept of My creative strength, which is unlimited and endowed the created beings with an infinite abundance of strength. Thus they, like Me, were also able to constantly and without knowledge of limitation externalise creations into the universe .... Hence there are no different degrees of creative power in the beings who remained faithful to Me, who did not voluntarily move into a different sphere from Mine, where I Myself amid My hosts have the domain of My creativeness .... All beings were created perfect, and that means that no being is subject to any restriction, but that every being is given a task which it conscientiously fulfils. But one task is no more important than another, and thus there is no difference of status either .... all those beings' love culminates in their love for Me, and they indeed always aspire towards Me in order to become even more blissfully happy through the response of My love, which you humans cannot measure by any standard. Merely the degree of love can differ in beings who overcame the abyss without having achieved childship to God on earth but who nevertheless achieved a degree of love and constantly seek to increase it. Their happiness, that they escaped the abyss and had to walk the path of evolution, knows no limits. They are conscious of their present beatitude, and their eternal life is a constant singing of praises and thankfulness .... They, too, are allowed to create and give life to the universe but always in accordance with their abundance of light, which constantly increases.

Thus everything perfect knows no limit, consequently there cannot be any beings who take precedence, and your idea of dividing these beings into groups of more or less able beings is wrong, since perfection renders this null and void. These are always human concepts, because you are more or less inadequately shaped and thus also want to transfer these attributes to the absolutely perfectly shaped beings. Whether the smallest or the largest being is created .... it takes the same creative strength, because it is the same work of wonder in My creation. And the supreme perfection of the beings rests in the fact that one helps the other, that not one wants to take precedence before another and therefore neither the expression 'angel' nor 'archangel' is justified, but all beings belong to My vast host of created original spirits, only you humans imagine the world of spirits to be status orientated, just as you create different positions on earth for yourselves. As long as you still have a low degree of maturity the degree of love will differ too, and you cannot create in strength and might. You have to aim to increase this degree of love until you attain your original condition again, from which your fall into the abyss took place. In addition, you also have to acquire the childship to God on earth, and for this purpose a being of light can return to earth for a mission, if it had previously failed on earth but achieved a degree of light in the beyond which sanctions a repeated embodiment. Just as every non-fallen spirit may take this path through the abyss in order to test its free will, although it can never descend further, rather the original spirit's urge for creation becomes ever more powerful. Then it will make constantly greater demands on My strength of love and aspire towards Me and thus create with My strength, which completely permeates this spirit. Perfection, however, is unlimited .... or, what is perfect knows no limits. It is as powerful as I Myself and can make and shape the largest as well as the smallest creations, for it will always help and assist the wretched to attain beatitude ....

You can only understand this when you know what 'love' is in its fundamental essence, and therefore I assess everything by the degree of love. But this assessment ends as soon as the being is perfect .... because to be perfect means to be infinitely blessed, then every being's love is only intended for Me as the utmost perfect Being, Which will always gratify its longing for love and yet it will never end ....

Amen

The path through Satan's world ....

B.D. 8869 from October 17th 1964, taken from Book No. 93

The world is Satan's domain and yet you have to pass through it because all of you are more or less still attached to the lord of this world, since you have not yet completed the last work of spiritualising yourselves in this world .... you are still imperfect and therefore not entirely free from his control .... However, you are all aware of My will which only ever asks you to selflessly love your neighbour. Hence you know what will bring you closer to perfection and therefore you shall only ever endeavour to release yourselves from selfish love and turn it into love for your neighbour. Then you will detach yourselves more and more from his world, you will pass through this world and it will no longer hold on to you, but has to release you if you want to carry out this will of Mine. Then your earthly life will only be a short stage on the path to your eternal home, you will remove your fetters with My help, for then you have surrendered to Me, and wherever your goal is, there is also your heart .... Your longing applies to Me and this world has nothing else to offer you, it can no longer stop you on your path of ascent .... However, if you don't carry out this change from selfish love into unselfish neighbourly love you will take your last short path across the earth in vain .... then you will remain attached to the one who wants to pull you into the abyss again.

Yet I cannot force your will, you have to strive for this change entirely of your own accord so that you will be able to gain immeasurable happiness. For this reason you cannot be given absolute proof of what will await you in eternal life if you strive towards Me, or what will happen to you if you deliver yourselves to My adversary .... or you would be compelled to believe which, however, cannot be valued as 'faith'. Even so, My Word explains everything to you and besides, you have within yourselves the still small voice of conscience which warns and admonishes you .... You, however, drown out this voice in you with the world and ignore it, but there is not a single human being whose attention is not somehow drawn to the consequences of his way of life .... And therefore no-one can evade the hour of responsibility when he stands at the gate to eternity .... I approach people time and again trying to inform them of My will, which requires nothing other than shaping themselves into love, and by means of strokes of fate try to bring Myself to their attention so that they will call upon Me in their distress, when I shall truly be willing to help; yet I cannot reveal Myself more distinctly than through My direct speech from above so as not to compel anyone's will.

But you lack faith and don't value My Word from above as a truly significant blessing which is to help you in your lack of resolve .... If only you would get used to the idea that My Word might be true so that you could arrange your life accordingly, then much would be gained already, for I look at the slightest will concerning Me and will help you find Me completely .... so that you no longer attach too much importance to the world, that you detach yourselves from it and thus also from its master. Just your will to free yourselves from his bondage is seen by Me as your first step of return to Me, and I will bless all further effort and give you the strength to accomplish what will lead to your release from him. Nevertheless, you must take the path through the world, for it is the last opportunity to liberate yourselves from the one who is lord of this world, and you must pass this last test of will if you want to enter the kingdom of beatitude ....

Amen

Loving but urgent exhortation from God ....

B.D. 8870 from October 19th 1964, taken from Book No. 93

For eternal long times you already dwell in far distance from Me, and you can now in earth life lift this distance completely; you can unite again with Me and enter the kingdom on the other side in highest happiness. You have the possibility for this, and everything is offered to you in life so that you just have to be of good will to now also lead earth life successfully. But I say: If you are only of good will .... but what is to mean, if you turn your will towards Me, then your will is good, and then you will also certainly reach your aim .... For it is only a matter of this will of yours that it freely decides for Me, for the good, the divine, for everything what corresponds to the principle of eternal order. Then man enters into the state as he was in the beginning, he has returned again and become a perfect being, which he was in the beginning. But that this way back is also a fight, that also My opponent fights just the same for his souls and that man therefore must freely decide to whom he wants to belong, that you all realize, and that is why earth life is no easy one; it demands power of resistance and perseverance from you, but which also guarantee the right aim. But now .... towards the end .... increased demands will be placed on you, you must muster everything in order not to become indifferent .... Your power of resistance must grow and your will become stronger and stronger, and therefore you need the help of Jesus Christ, Who gladly complies with your call to strengthen your will .... For He alone can impart to you the strength of will which you lack in the battle against your enemy if you want to reach the aim .... Without Him you will also hardly be of good will .... for this is good if you kindle love in yourselves, and love also acknowledges Jesus Christ as the redeemer of people .... But then you need not fear the adversary, for no matter how much he rages among men in order not to lose his followers, yet he cannot compete with 'good will', after all, this is already turned towards Me, and it also remains turned towards Me until all eternity .... As soon as you give up your former resistance against Me you open yourselves again to My illumination of love, which now causes you to change into your original nature, that you are now My children again, who now create and work in My will as they once did, but who are no longer merely My 'works' but have attained childship to God of their own free will. When I have reached this aim then I will have succeeded in the work of return, you will certainly have been separated from Me for an infinitely long time and this will have been a state of wretchedness, yet it will then only be like a moment for you compared to eternity, when you will be able to enjoy supreme beatitudes. If you would all believe these words of Mine and make an effort during the short time of your earthly life to reach this aim, you would not grant My adversary the right to have an effect on you. You only need a right will and strengthen it through the call of Jesus Christ, and you would be free from him who already holds you in bondage for such a long time .... If only you would listen to My voice, which sounds to you from above, which warns you and admonishes you before the coming time, where he will rage even more fiercely to bring you down .... But you listen more to the voice of the world, and you lose My wholesome word .... And I cannot help you because you yourselves do not want to be helped .... The last time passes because all prophecies come true and it comes as it is written. All of you will lose life, and if you do not belong to the ones who are Mine, whom I can rapture at the end, then only the last judgement remains for you .... that you will again be banished into matter, to cover the endless long course once again, until you are again as man confronted with the renewed decision: to confess for Me or for My opponent .... but that you can fail just as you now fail. For you yourselves have your fate in your hand; you can also now still use the time until the end, if you are only of good will ...._>Amen

Personal words of the lord ....

B.D. 8871 from October 20th 1964, taken from Book No. 93

I need your firm faith, which will therefore still often be put to the test, be it messages which reach you from above or also inner spiritual adversities .... Then you should always take refuge in Me, Who truly arranges everything so that it will not be difficult for you to believe .... Leave everything to Me, and I will also make hearts receptive to these messages, which only ever serve to convey the pure truth to people. For anyone who thinks will find the solution acceptable, he will not be offended by the fact that one is attacked who hitherto was considered untouchable by them .... He will be able to reason logically and solve these questions as I Myself have done .... according to the pure truth. In times of spiritual distress a call to Me is enough to now also attain inner peace again .... I know about every stirring of the human heart, I also know about the weakness of faith which still causes you trouble .... But again and again I tell you that My angels protect you, for I still need you, and you will not leave this earthly valley until your task is completely fulfilled .... until I have conveyed the truth through you to those who are open to it, who still seek and will also find it through you .... And whether they are also only few, they can again pass on what was given to them through you from above .... And if you keep this promise then also your suffering will be taken from you, for truly nothing is impossible for Me, I am a lord over life and death, and My gift to you is a life in full power, which is granted to you as long as you work for Me .... and since for the sake of men it shall not be a compulsion of faith for them, full health will slowly be returned to you, but believe that no thing is impossible for Me and that I still need your services .... Accept My word as full truth, which will be fulfilled exactly as those predictions which were given to you and which have now been confirmed. Your faith is still weak, yet I will bring it to that strength that it is unshakeable and will stand firm until the end ...._>Amen

'I will guide you into truth ....'

B.D. 8872 from October 23rd 1964, taken from Book No. 93

Truth cannot long keep as pure as it is when it comes forth from Me, therefore I already told you during My lifetime ‘I will guide you into truth ....’ because I knew that My Word, which I brought to you Myself, would not remain pure either .... And this will always be the case as soon as it is studied by human inadequacy, as soon as the pure Word enters the region of imperfect human beings who look at it from an entirely intellectual point of view. Hence I kept sending My pure Word from above to earth but it has always been spoilt again. You humans have no guarantee that the Book of Books is protected from change, because I do not interfere with people’s free will and can only ever safeguard a presenter of My Word if he commends himself to Me and asks Me to protect him from error. However, you humans are not at risk from misguided thoughts if you spiritually and in truth ask Me to enlighten your spirit, then you will also know where error has crept in ....

But the claim that I Myself protect My pure Word from becoming spoilt is incorrect, because this would question the free will of human beings, who can do whatever they want with My spiritual information. And thus you also need to consider with regards to the Book of Books that changes were made in the course of time which I could not prevent .... precisely because of human free will .... Consequently, the necessity for a new revelation constantly arose again which had to clarify the existing misconception. Hence you humans only have to want the truth, but you should not feel certain to have the truth because you can obtain it from the Book of Books .... otherwise I would not have needed to tell you so clearly and precisely that ‘I will guide you into truth ....’ Furthermore, you also have to take into account that the working of My spirit is always of a spiritual nature .... that I Am concerned with the salvation of the soul which I want to win for Myself through My Word .... that every Word from Me merely intends to achieve your spiritual perfection.

And these spiritual instructions have often been combined with human supplements which later proved themselves to be wrong and gave rise to doubt .... just as My divine Words of love were frequently combined with human additions, but people hold on to these and refuse to let go of this human product. Hence concepts applicable at the time were included in My ‘divine’ Word such as, for instance, ‘that women shall not teach’ .... This is not My commandment at all, instead allowances were made for that period of time but it had no right to be regarded as ‘divine Word’, as is apparent from My Words ‘that I will pour out My spirit on all flesh; servants and maidens will prophesy ....’ Consequently, what I deemed necessary to correct was repeatedly done through new revelations .... which, however, could not retain their purity either but also had to be corrected again ....But I gave you the promise that I will guide you into truth, and therefore you may rest assured that every person asking for truth will also receive it .... Because I will not let anyone walk in error who does not want to fall victim to the adversary .... who desires the pure truth with all his heart .... But this is only possible by means of a new revelation, in view of their freedom of will I cannot prevent people from distorting My initially transmitted Word, and that this has happened is due to people’s low spiritual level which does not offer the adversary any resistance .... But I will always make sure that the light of truth will nevertheless shine for you who desire it ....

Amen

God follows souls to depth ....

B.D. 8873 from October 24th 1964, taken from Book No. 93

In view of the overwhelming spiritual hardship the greatest spirit of infinity also expresses Himself .... He gives you His holy word; He pours out His gifts of favour over men, and He only demands open hearts, which want to hear His address. He is so intimately united with you that you would have to feel His love if you were receptive to the power of His immense love. But then you would pass away from happiness, you would no longer be able to finish your earthly life and therefore He can only consider you according to your maturity of soul .... But He addresses you .... He bends down to you in order to open up a knowledge for you in His merciful love, which shall make you happy .... For even if He is the most perfect being, Whose address you, as beings which have fallen away from Him, are not worthy of, His love and mercy is nevertheless of such abundance that it would like to envelop you, that it would like to constantly instruct you so that you find your way out of the state of ignorance, so that you devote yourselves to Him again of your own accord, so that you could unite with Him again. You once were radiated by Him, and His love pursued you, because you were the same in your original substance .... And this great love is also now again your constant companion; it followed you into the deep when you fell away to again guide you back up, because love cannot and will not decrease eternally. And yet you had turned away from this love .... And this was your fall, that you rejected love .... This sin, to rebel against divine love, was so great that it caused you an endless long state of agony, because once you have to return to God again, Whose love knows no limits and He reveals Himself to you in the stage as man as 'love'. He seeks to place you into the state of light again, He seeks to chase away the darkness in you by kindling a bright light in you, for He knows what you lack for perfection: that you let love flare up in yourselves which makes you worthy of His illumination of love .... Then He has won you back, and you now remain eternally His .... Since the end is now near, also the measure of favour is inexhaustible, because he is always and eternally the merciful God, who gives up no soul and wants to help all to salvation, but Who also has to pay attention to the free will of men, otherwise everything would already have been redeemed long ago, but what would exclude highest perfection. But when His voice sounds and finds echo in the hearts of men, then also the homecoming into the father-house is secured .... And that is why He addresses you, in hot love towards you, who once were His and are to return again to Him. That He will also achieve this return one day is certain .... Therefore it will always only be up to the will of the being in which time it bows down and no longer opposes his will to Him. And again and again He tries that a gap opens where He can let his love light ray fall in, but which then ignites and becomes a bright flame, which also changes the whole being inwardly. The love light radiates down from above and gives the human heart a boost to love, as it also cannot be otherwise, because the eternal spirit of infinity is a sea of fire, which pours Itself into everything what does not close itself to It. And as the fire quickly spreads, so also everything will fall prey to it what comes near to it, only that this is an immensely happy process, which all beings are to strive for, because through it they come to true life, because then they are only truly happy when they can be active again, as it was in the beginning. And this is His strength and power and glory that He succeeds in once placing everything that came forth from Him into this state .... that He succeeds in making beings out of His 'works' which can call themselves 'children', which find their beatitude in Him and can never ever lose it again ...._>Amen

Desire to hear the word of God ....

B.D. 8874 from October 25th 1964, taken from Book No. 93

How bitterly you will regret one day not having listened to My voice, having kept yourselves closed to My address and thus let the great grace pass you by .... For your soul is the one who suffers, it will have to atone for it one day, and that until it has found the divine redeemer Jesus Christ .... But endless times can pass until it calls upon Him for mercy. You humans do not recognize the gift of grace which is intended for you, so that you can already reach perfection on earth. You do not know about My endless love, which tries everything to bring you to your senses that you have received earth life for another purpose than you give it. You only always see the world and its pleasures, and you do not think of the hour of death .... but you also do not believe in the survival of the soul, and that is what lets you pass away without a sense of responsibility. You don't see the miracles which should make you clearly aware that you were not created for the sake of physical life alone .... For miracles can be discovered everywhere around you, you just have to want to see them .... And likewise you would have to see the address of God as a miracle .... You would have to recognize Me Myself in every word if you would only think a little .... Yet spiritual life has become alien to you; you only ever see the world and everything connected with it. But one day you will think of every occasion when the word of God was brought to you, and you will not understand to have passed it by .... And you will be able to consider yourselves lucky if you then still discover a ray of light, if you then can still seek out My born of life .... but also this favour will be granted to you, but it always depends on your free will. You can just as well avoid the ray of light, but once you still recognize what you let pass, and the remorse about it will be bitter. My word is truly the greatest gift of favour, which I can still give to you before the end and which announces My will to you, which always only consists of it that you change to love. And when this love commandment is earnestly recited to you, where you are always only admonished to love God and the neighbour, then you also know that the announcers of this teaching are My messengers; you know it that I Myself speak through those who therefore preach the love commandments to you as urgent, because with the fulfilment of those commandments you will also come into the possession of further gifts of favour, because then the measure of My favours is inexhaustible, which is now supplied to you. Everything only contributes to your perfection, to the perfection of your soul, which is the imperishable in you, which you are never allowed to let starve. Therefore I also only address your soul; I give it the food, which it needs to mature, to become healthy, to escape from its state of weakness, which is its lot at the start of embodiment as man. And when I feed and water the soul myself, then you can truly be convinced that it suffers no lack, that it will enter the kingdom on the other side in most radiant light. But you also have to cover the soul's needs by listening to My word, by giving the soul what it needs in order to become blissfully happy. Give the soul the opportunity to hear the 'word of God' so that it can build itself up on it and desire to live .... And whoever longs to be addressed by Me I will also convey My word to him, for I take every such longing into account, I hear every request and grant it, especially when it concerns providing the soul with the necessary maturity which only My word can bring to it .... the word which is bread and wine for the soul, which it can feast on, which gives it true life, which can no longer be taken away from it .... Every person will once be addressed by Me, in every person the question once arises: What will be hereafter? And if he then earnestly demands clarification about it, then it will also be supplied to him, for I have many ways and means, and no man directs a questioning thought in vain into infinity .... Only then man should pay attention to it and not reject what is offered to him after such an earnest question .... For I satisfy the soul's desire .... But he who carelessly passes by My word will one day bitterly regret it, for the hour of realization will also come for him when he remembers the unused opportunity and can no longer make up for what he missed on earth ...._>Amen

Path to Jesus Christ .... What is meant by "judgment" ....

B.D. 8875 from October 26th 1964, taken from Book No. 93

The light from above shines down to you and will shine until the end, for as long as the prince of darkness rages and acts against every light from above I will consider those who want to escape from darkness and therefore turn to Me for the supply of light .... Because there will always be men who desire truth in the bottom of their heart and who are only satisfied when they are taught directly by Me. But there are only few of them because the masses resign themselves to the fact that error keeps them bound, that is why they know nothing about meaning and purpose of earth existence and who also have no need to receive truthful enlightenment about it. And as long as My adversary has this mass behind him, the light will also hardly break through, because it is the time of the end where he rules, until the power is taken out of his hands .... until his hour has come where he is put in chains together with his followers .... But in this time until the end there is still much work to be done on the part of My vineyard workers, because it is still necessary to bring many a soul onto the right path, and this is especially difficult because the love of the world is predominant and this has to be overcome for the time being, otherwise the light .... which only shines dimly .... cannot be noticed, but which then becomes brighter and brighter and finally breaks through the darkness .... And so still much error will have to be uncovered before pure truth can peel out, but then a bright light shines for man from the inside, which will never ever be extinguished. Because who once stands in knowledge, he knows that something was given back to him, what he once possessed and gave away in free will .... But the number of those is still to be increased before the end because My love care is meant for all those who are not yet completely in the power of My opponent. My love care is for those who are willing but too weak to free themselves from him. And when you can bring these closer to the knowledge about the divine redeemer Jesus Christ, who denies His help to no-one, and when you seek to cause them to believe and to accept the work of redemption, then I will support every attempt of you with My power. I will have an effect on them and give them bright moments where they can think about it and come to a decision .... For as soon as you supply them with My word it will also radiate its power, provided they are undecided .... For I cannot force the will of a person who completely rejects My word. But that one (this one) inevitably falls prey to the new banishment when the end has come. So also you will have to understand the "last judgment", which consists in it, that all spiritual will be judged anew, that it will again be allotted to the form, which it strives for .... that it will be "judged" according to its degree of maturity. This therefore is the "last judgement", of which you have a wrong idea. For I see every being's degree of maturity and can only ever prepare for it the fate which it has created for itself in free will. And this process will still repeat itself for eternities; again and again you will have to go through earth and its creations as soon as you have not acquired a small degree of light for yourselves, which guarantees you a higher development in the kingdom on the other side. And the light will always shine for you, at the beginning of every redemption period you will possess this light in all fullness, you will hear the pure truth directly from beings of light, and that for a long time, until then again My adversary will exert his influence on you humans, until he again spreads darkness over those people who are not strong enough and therefore fall prey to him .... And again, at the end of an earth period darkness will cover the whole of humanity, but the 'truth seeker' will always have the guarantee that he will receive it directly from Me, for he thereby proves that he does not want to fall prey to darkness, and his will will also be complied with ...._>Amen

Explanation of the act of creation .... about the will of the beings ....

It is certainly an apparent contradiction which you believe to discover, but as soon as you receive My teachings about it you will understand it correctly. All beings have emerged from My power, which flowed towards My first-created spirit in all fullness. He could not close himself off to this power until his fall from Me was completely accomplished. The power went to him as long as he wanted to use it for the coming into being of new beings, and all these beings were radiated through by My love power, so that they therefore were perfect and also had to be perfect, because they lacked nothing, neither light nor power, and moreover nothing defective could come out of Me, because until the apostasy of Lucifer My love power was at his disposal, because so long also the act of creation was an act of greatest beatification for him .... And only when he completely turned away from Me did his creative power cease. He saw in the endless host of created beings the evidence of his power and he rejected the further supply of love power .... But the apostasy extended to eternities .... And during this time he slowly changed his will, which in the end was directed against Me. And since the beings had arisen out of his will using the power out of Me, every being certainly had something of his will in itself, but since every act of creation put him into bliss .... because he was radiated through by My unmeasured love power thereby .... so he also gave up his secret resistance, thus his will, at the moment of creation and completely surrendered himself to My strength of love. So the being has certainly been begotten out of his will, which now also tried to influence the being to accept his will turned away from God. But since it has now also been My product, I gave to all beings the right of self-determination, when it was to decide for or against him .... Because My light of love shone through every being with such brightness that it also recognized its producer, that it therefore did not need to fall, but could likewise turn towards Me, even if I was not visible to it .... When it therefore says: Lucifer put his will into the being, then it is not to be understood that he could determine the beings to fall away, because every being had to decide about it itself. Because it had freedom of will exactly like its producer, and it did not have to think exactly like him. That is why the light shone for it in all fullness. It only became imperfect when it did not use this light, when it remained with its will against better knowledge, which therefore let the being become imperfect, because in the beginning it had been radiated as most perfect, which alone already resulted from it that also beings fell away from Me, which belonged to the first, which our both love will let come into being .... For their will was also free, and they could choose their lord .... The apostasy of the spirits stretched over endless long times, so the will of Lucifer had changed again and again in these times, he stood sometimes to Me and sometimes against Me .... as it drove him after the reception of My love power .... And the created beings were the same, soon their will belonged to Me and soon to him again, yet imperfection could only be spoken of when their apostasy was clearly evident, when they had decided in favour of their lord, Who shone for them in supreme fullness of light. Every act of creation was an exchange of love power, which made the light bearer happy and therefore could also only produce perfection. But freedom of will was a divine gift, therefore it did not need to lead to the fall, but used in the right way, it could earn the being an immeasurable happiness. And thus every being was also able to give its will the right direction, and it also had the strength to do so precisely because in its abundance of light it recognized where Lucifer was heading .... The fact that it followed him to the depths was therefore not due to its alleged "deficiency," which it thus "got" from its producer, but it was its own will, which, in spite of the bright light of knowledge, followed it to the depths .... It was therefore by no means pre-loaded on the part of Lucifer with a will that turned towards God even before it was given the right of self-determination .... Because it was, like everything that came forth out of Me, standing in highest perfection .... (2.11.1964) I Myself therefore cannot contradict Me; it is the purest truth, which My revelations hold. What therefore contradicts it does not carry My spirit in itself, and there is the following explanation for this: firstly, My adversary's effort to confuse your spirit, which he then succeeds in doing when the bond with Me is not deep enough, when you yourselves, through your own thinking, give him the opportunity to confuse the concepts, and secondly, (when) you were not yet in (such) contact with Me which allows My influence in you .... that I was able to protect you from the working of immature spirits, which always come back when a person seeks the light and tries to extinguish this light. The more earnestly a receiver of My love light pushes towards Me, the safer My word sounds to him, but which then is also pure and louder and every evil spirit is repelled, which wants to press a light bearer. The more the will and the desire for pure truth is inherent in My light bearers, the more he can also be convinced of the truth of what is offered to him. That is why I also want that you examine all scriptures, because again and again My opponent wants to awaken an uncertainty in man; he wants that you doubt the truth of that what I Myself announce to you. But you are to prove your faith to Me, you are not to let yourselves be diverted from the truth of My word through his work, because I will always enlighten your spirit that you recognize it if and when he has intruded to invalidate My work ...._>Amen

Renewed reference to the end ....

B.D. 8876 from October 29th 1964, taken from Book No. 93

How often has the near end been pointed out to you already, how often have you been admonished not to live your life on earth complacently and to eagerly work at improving your soul, yet you do nothing in order to avoid the dreadful fate of a renewed banishment .... You don't believe these references until one day it will come upon you with force and then you will no longer be able to change your thinking and intentions. For the time I determined for it will be adhered to and the last day will come like a thief in the night .... Yet beforehand you will still be seriously shaken out of your sleep .... for all great events cast their shadows before them .... And this, too, will seem inconceivable to you, for the elements of nature will so violently manifest themselves that it will take many people's lives and cause great lamentation .... And yet, this natural event will only result in the fact that people will acknowledge it as the reign of a higher Power less then ever, that it will only add to their doubt in this Power because a God of love cannot be recognised in an event where countless people will have to sacrifice themselves .... But how shall I give you a sign of My power and might? You, who are unable to believe in this Power although you are at Its mercy? If I speak quietly to you, you don't listen to Me, for you close your ears and eyes and are unable to see the gentle light shining for you .... And since you don't pay attention to My quiet voice I must speak louder .... so loud that no-one can deny this voice anymore. Yet you will all make up excuses so as not to have to admit that you are being addressed by God for your own good. But those who recognise this wake-up call, who recognise Me Myself in the raging of the natural elements and take refuge in Me will indeed be saved, for even if they lose their earthly life they will nevertheless enter into eternity with the realisation of a God and will be able to continue their ascent.

But the end will come soon after this intervention .... no matter how implausible it seems to you .... This end has been planned from the start and nothing will persuade Me to stop it, for I do not only consider the human being who fails his last test of will but all creations are close to My heart whose development is still below the human stage but which are also My beings to whom I grant My mercy and whom I want to lead to ascent. And for this purpose the earth will have to renew itself, the earth's surface must go through a total transformation, and the day is firmly predetermined. And you humans have to be told that you should pay attention to the sign of the times .... that I said to you 'it will be just like it was at the time of the Flood ....' People will enjoy life to the fullest, they will not be able to stop sinning anymore because they will only love themselves, and this wrong love will allow them to do whatever they like .... And this will result in confused thinking, for no-one will pay attention to the divine Word any longer which clearly points His will out to them .... And then only the short time of the battle of faith lies ahead of you, which is the last phase before the destruction, it is the time when My Own will have to prove themselves, when they must profess Me as their Lord and God, as their Redeemer .... in order to then be able to enter the paradise of the new earth .... The hour of Judgment is very near and, yet, people refuse to listen, they continue to live their life on earth with indifference and unscrupulousness, and regardless of how many people mention it, they are lacking faith and without faith they won't change their way of life .... But the day will come like a thief in the night, and blessed are those who give credence to My Words and live in such a way that this day cannot frighten them .... who will therefore also prevail until the end ....

Amen

Spoilt spiritual knowledge has to be corrected ....

B.D. 8877 from October 31th 1964, taken from Book No. 93

You humans will not succeed in refuting the pure truth, you can always rely on what you received through My spirit. For even if the Word was mentally transmitted to you it is and always will remain My Word which you would be unable to hear had you not first shaped yourselves such that ‘My spirit’ can pour into you. For then your thoughts will be guided by Me as well, you will be unable to have wrong thoughts if you hand yourselves over to Me first and appeal to Me for receiving the truth .... However, it is a different situation if a person does not fulfil the prerequisites which allow the working of My spirit within him .... In that case he cannot be certain as to whether he thinks wrongly, as to whether his thoughts are going astray. Thus it is essential for you humans to check first if and to what extent one can speak of spiritual activity .... which can be easily established when hitherto unknown knowledge was conveyed to a person .... knowledge which reveals to him secrets of creation and explains to him the meaning and purpose of his earthly existence ....

If, however, this information was gained from books .... if a person studies existing spiritual knowledge .... if he thus analyses knowledge, he cannot claim to be ‘filled by My spirit’. His thinking can certainly be correct if he acquired the necessary prerequisites, but then the spiritual knowledge, which came to earth through the working of My spirit, will not be changed either. But if such changes had taken place and I correct them Myself, then time and again the question has to be asked ‘Who is enlightened by God’s spirit?’ I don’t educate bearers of truth for Myself without imparting the pure truth to them. And once I called someone to stand up for the truth I also gave him the task again to accept knowledge from Me and to consider himself a recipient of the pure truth. For I truly know where error has crept in and will always correct a misguided teaching. Yet one thing is certain .... My adversary has succeeded in plunging you back into darkness, he has succeeded in deceiving you .... who believe to live in truth because you accepted it from one of My devoted servants .... and to present his own ideas to you which you now eagerly advocate and thereby make it difficult for Me to bring you the pure truth again ....

Error will not lead you to the goal .... and if you do not wholeheartedly desire the truth you will not be able to detach yourselves from erroneous thoughts either. Your vision is clouded, it did not remain a matter of the simple spreading of My Word through a spiritually awakened servant .... so many unenlightened co-workers played a part in it. They wilfully added explanations or changed the original text and thereby did not help but harm the work .... And due to their free will I was unable to prevent them from doing so. The simple, clear Word which was intended to make people happy lost its value as soon as people started to change the original texts and bought them into line with common linguistic usage .... You humans should take the length of time into consideration and the fact that My adversary’s work during the last days always relates to the

Amendment of My Word. Consider that he avails himself of the worldly spirit in order to captivate people .... consider, that only the spiritually awakened were able to guard this knowledge and that protection from above was only guaranteed to these servants .... who then would have kept to the truth .... but that no such guarantee existed with worldly co-workers who therefore still had worldly interests and also turned these new revelations into a ‘worldly issue’.

This is why I always chose people who had withdrawn from the world to whom I could reveal Myself, because rising above the world is the fundamental requirement in order to be able to convey My revelations to earth. And they never had to worry about their earthly needs. If a person is so devoted to Me that he supports the spreading of these revelations they will be his last resort as a source of income because he knows that I take care of him Myself .... And as long as a ‘vessel of My spirit’ has this attitude it will also distribute purest truth, for since it is spiritually awake itself it will reject every misguided teaching .... Yet how long will spiritual knowledge keep pure once it passes through human hands again which are not as pure and as willing to serve Me. Therefore I have to pour My spirit time and again into a clean vessel so that errors are exposed which I have to correct again. And if I now tell you that even the Book of Books is no longer pure and unadulterated you can also count on it that new revelations will not keep so pure as that they would not need any correction. And if the error consists of the fact that My perfection is questionable, then My adversary’s influence can be clearly recognised who, in the last days, will make every effort to stifle people’s love for Me, which alone unites you with Me now and forever ....

Explanation of the act of creation .... about the will of the beings ....

B.D. 8878 from November 2nd 1964, taken from Book No. 93

It is certainly an apparent contradiction which you believe to discover, but as soon as you receive My teachings about it you will understand it correctly. All beings have emerged from My power, which flowed towards My first-created spirit in all fullness. He could not close himself off to this power until his fall from Me was completely accomplished. The power went to him as long as he wanted to use it for the coming into being of new beings, and all these beings were radiated through by My love power, so that they therefore were perfect and also had to be perfect, because they lacked nothing, neither light nor power, and moreover nothing defective could come out of Me, because until the apostasy of Lucifer My love power was at his disposal, because so long also the act of creation was an act of greatest beatification for him .... And only when he completely turned away from Me did his creative power cease. He saw in the endless host of created beings the evidence of his power and he rejected the further supply of love power .... But the apostasy extended to eternities .... And during this time he slowly changed his will, which in the end was directed against Me. And since the beings had arisen out of his will using the power out of Me, every being certainly had something of his will in itself, but since every act of creation put him into bliss .... because he was radiated through by My unmeasured love power thereby .... so he also gave up his secret resistance, thus his will, at the moment of creation and completely surrendered himself to My strength of love. So the being has certainly been begotten out of his will, which now also tried to influence the being to accept his will turned away from God. But since it has now also been My product, I gave to all beings the right of self-determination, when it was to decide for or against him .... Because My light of love shone through every being with such brightness that it also recognized its producer, that it therefore did not need to fall, but could likewise turn towards Me, even if I was not visible to it .... When it therefore says: Lucifer put his will into the being, then it is not to be understood that he could determine the beings to fall away, because every being had to decide about it itself. Because it had freedom of will exactly like its producer, and it did not have to think exactly like him. That is why the light shone for it in all fullness. It only became imperfect when it did not use this light, when it remained with its will against better knowledge, which therefore let the being become imperfect, because in the beginning it had been radiated as most perfect, which alone already resulted from it that also beings fell away from Me, which belonged to the first, which our both love will let come into being .... For their will was also free, and they could choose their lord .... The apostasy of the spirits stretched over endless long times, so the will of Lucifer had changed again and again in these times, he stood sometimes to Me and sometimes against Me .... as it drove him after the reception of My love power .... And the created beings were the same, soon their will belonged to Me and soon to him again, yet imperfection could only be spoken of when their apostasy was clearly evident, when they had decided in favour of their lord, Who shone for them in supreme fullness of light. Every act of creation was an exchange of love power, which made the light bearer happy and therefore could also only produce perfection. But freedom of will was a divine gift, therefore it did not need to lead to the fall, but used in the right way, it could earn the being an immeasurable happiness. And thus every being was also able to give its will the right direction, and it also had the strength to do so precisely because in its abundance of light it recognized where Lucifer was heading .... The fact that it followed him to the depths was therefore not due to its alleged "deficiency," which it thus "got" from its producer, but it was its own will, which, in spite of the bright light of knowledge, followed it to the depths .... It was therefore by no means pre-loaded on the part of Lucifer with a will that turned towards God even before it was given the right of self-determination .... Because it was, like everything that came forth out of Me, standing in highest perfection .... (2.11.1964) I Myself therefore cannot contradict Me; it is the purest truth, which My revelations hold. What therefore contradicts it does not carry My spirit in itself, and there is the following explanation for this: firstly, My adversary's effort to confuse your spirit, which he then succeeds in doing when the bond with Me is not deep enough, when you yourselves, through your own thinking, give him the opportunity to confuse the concepts, and secondly, (when) you were not yet in (such) contact with Me which allows My influence in you .... that I was able to protect you from the working of immature spirits, which always come back when a person seeks the light and tries to extinguish this light. The more earnestly a receiver of My love light pushes towards Me, the safer My word sounds to him, but which then is also pure and louder and every evil spirit is repelled, which wants to press a light bearer. The more the will and the desire for pure truth is inherent in My light bearers, the more he can also be convinced of the truth of what is offered to him. That is why I also want that you examine all scriptures, because again and again My opponent wants to awaken an uncertainty in man; he wants that you doubt the truth of that what I Myself announce to you. But you are to prove your faith to Me, you are not to let yourselves be diverted from the truth of My word through his work, because I will always enlighten your spirit that you recognize it if and when he has intruded to invalidate My work ....

God wants to be known as "love" ....

B.D. 8879 from November 4th 1964, taken from Book No. 93

I am the lord, your God .... And when you are addressed by Me Myself you can unhesitatingly believe My words, for there is one thing you must not overlook, that the time of the end has approached and that you will therefore be "guided into all truth ...." For the fact that I Myself speak to you proves to you how immensely important a correct enlightenment is for you, for it depends on this enlightenment what your further fate will be, in what maturity you will experience the last day or enter the kingdom on the other side. And that I Myself speak to you, of that you can be sure, I still do not let you approach the last day without warning. You stand before the end of a redemption period, and only few of you will enliven the new earth, therefore these few will also have to possess pure truth, because this is to be spread again, because it is to find entrance among the inhabitants of the new earth .... And for these I will always be and remain the God of love, for the new time begins with a generation which is only receptive to My love, which sees the 'God of love' in Me and I don't want to be anything else for them either .... For they are in such close union with Me that I can dwell in the midst of them .... that they are therefore far removed from their former apostasy .... that they have reached the aim which earned them union with Me. And now you will also understand why I show Myself to My own as a God of love, why I only ever emphasize My endless love and also want to be recognized as a God of love .... why I, as the most perfect being, only ever want to assert My 'perfection', why I want to win your love, which only gives itself to the perfect .... You must understand that you are approaching a new time which will have nothing in common with the present time, and that for this purpose I prepare you, who belong to My own, for this time. The change from this present period to the new epoch is so enormous that this cannot be described to you, and it would also not put you into a state in which you could grasp everything that happens. you would truly perish before the fullness of grace, which you are allowed to experience. And then you would also not be able to imagine any shortcomings, you would not be able to imagine that there are beings who do not recognize My love and seek to win it. Then you will also see in God the highest and most loving being from Whom no being will ever want to distance itself again .... And you will not be able to understand that the rejection of the divine power of love once took place and that these beings, (who are guilty of this sin,) always harbour the creations, which make men immeasurably happy on the new earth .... You, who now teach in the last time, you are just as entitled to represent this word as truth, because I know it, what serves mankind, I know it, what it stumbles over, and I have understanding for it that men are not prepared to accept everything, and I recognize the motives of their resistance .... For if a person forms a picture of Me which is different from what he has been informed of so far, this is a sign that he wants to see Me perfectly .... that his love for Me is therefore so profound that he does not want to discover anything which diminishes his love. And I also want to possess such profound love so that I can then dwell in their midst ...._>Amen

Rejecting the strength of love was the 'sin' ....

B.D. 8880 from November 8th 1964, taken from Book No. 93

If you are spoken to from above it is a sign of My never-ending love which takes pity upon humanity and wants to come to their aid .... And this love will always and forever apply to you, for you are also part of Me, even though you followed My adversary into the abyss of your own free will. Nevertheless, your fundamental nature is love. And I will not rest until you have changed yourselves into your fundamental nature again. So if you are now spoken to from above you will also recognise by My address that it can only be the work of a good power, for I only ever endeavour to cultivate love in you and to refer you to Jesus Christ and His act of Salvation, since then you will travel the right path which results in your change while you are still on this earth. Hence you should not doubt the origin of that which comes to you from above .... Its content cannot be anything but good, and thus it must be free from error .... For you are taught by the Eternal Truth Itself and can be completely confident that It will not offer you misguided teachings. But during the last days this assurance is absolutely essential, for it is even intended to make My light bearers doubt the truthfulness of their messages. Yet let it be sufficient for you to know that I Myself protect My bearers of light from all errors. For who else can give you the guarantee for pure truth if not I Myself, Who knows their will and their desire for truth? Time and again I say to you that the adversary's working is especially aimed at those of you who want to spread the light .... that he intends to prevent this and therefore avails himself of all means in order to cast doubts into people's hearts regarding the truthfulness of these proclamations .... Yet My influence, too, will become more and more evident. I will ever more obviously highlight the error he has pushed you into, for his aim is to prevent you from knowing the truth .... although he will not succeed with those who genuinely desire the truth. And thus everyone must seriously scrutinise himself as to whether he desires the pure truth .... in that case he cannot be misled anymore; he will recognise it and liberate himself from error. The moment of creation was an act of incomparable bliss for Myself as well as for My bearer of light, for the products of his will and My strength of love were so extraordinarily magnificently shaped that they made both of us indescribably happy so that the light bearer's love for Me flared up ever brighter. For the same creative power was inherent in them .... they were able to take pleasure in it and likewise actively fashion spiritual creations, thereby raising their blissful happiness beyond measure. If I therefore state the fact that these created beings did not lack anything, that they were all externalised in My image and that they were able to work and be creatively active as long as they were permeated by My light of love .... then it must also be obvious to you that they forfeited their activity when they rejected this flow of My strength of love .... that they thereby lost their light, their realisation, so that their thinking became confused and they were no longer capable of being active .... that they hardened but were nevertheless My once emanated strength which I therefore reshaped into creations of the most varied kinds ....

This process has been described to you so often already and you can accept this as the purest truth, you can unhesitatingly accept that only the rejection of My strength of love was the sin against Me, since the brightest light was kindled in them in which they were entirely aware of the implications of their rebellion. Consequently, I will also highlight the misguided notion of any portrayal that I determined or caused the fall of the bearer of light as well as the fallen beings. All beings acted according to My will until they rejected the flow of My strength of love. But this also resulted in the hardening of the spiritual substance .... and the strength I once emanated as a being had to become active in different ways, which happened through the dissolution of the substance into tiny particles and thus Creation emerged from these. Only from then on did the being have to fight against all kinds of obstacles, since it had to overcome them in order to develop higher again. The activity of the non-fallen beings consisted of using the strength flowing from Me to them .... but these beings were in a state of brightest enlightenment .... hence in a state of realisation .... and therefore these beings used nothing else but what was according to My will .... As long as the being remained faithful to Me it worked and created in My will. But when it turned away from Me it lost the strength for creating and shaping. It hardened and remained inactive .... which then resulted in the emergence of Creation. I certainly knew from the very beginning that Lucifer and the beings would fall and, for sake of his free will, I did not stop him. Nevertheless, I took no part in it because I had granted the bearer of light .... Lucifer .... the same power, and neither did I limit it, so that he was able to do anything he wanted to do .... And so it was possible for him to persuade the beings to fall away from Me in order to create a second world, in a manner of speaking, a world in complete opposition to Me .... Yet all this was only possible by closing himself .... and afterwards also his followers .... to the flow of My strength of love .... So the rejection of My strength of love was the actual sin, for it was aimed against Me Myself, since the beings were utterly enlightened regarding their past origin from Me. The fact that the beings' thinking ability expressed itself in a completely opposite will to Mine, that it gave rise to something utterly adverse to God, did not originate from Me, however, the rejection of My strength of love resulted in this wrong direction of will because it signified spiritual darkness, spiritual blindness. From then on Lucifer became My direct opposite who was able to transfer all evil thoughts .... which originated from himself .... onto the beings. For from the moment they consciously rejected My love he gained full control over these beings and kept it until I let Creation arise in order to snatch them from his power and to inaugurate the process of return.

But then the beings had to travel a painful path until they .... in the stage of self-awareness and free will as a human being .... were able to dispel all their wrong thoughts, completely change their will and utterly deify themselves again. Thus they must discard everything of a satanic nature and, of their own free will, strive towards the divine. This alone already proves that evil cannot originate from Me or I could not be called divine, since only good can be understood by it .... that light and darkness cannot exist at the same time, that I do not incorporate love and hate .... in short, all opposites within Myself. The free will was indeed able to choose between Me or My adversary, but he was already evil when he became My adversary .... and then also created everything that was in opposition to Me .... as he was a power like I Myself was .... with the exception that he had a beginning. The worst deception used by My adversary is to make you believe that everything of an evil nature originates from Me as well. This is why I repeatedly draw your attention to the fact that the actual sin was .... the rejection of My strength of love, because this caused the state of confusion in the beings .... the state in which they refused every kind of activity according to My will and therefore were dissolved and bound in all kinds of creations. For it is the law of eternity that My emanated strength must become active .... that this strength must voluntarily be requested again in order to enable the re-transformation into a perfect being. That these implanted thoughts in the being originate from Lucifer and thus must be fought against during the time of embodiment as a human being has, through My love, become the process which is intended to turn the 'creatures' into God's true 'children'. And thus Lucifer unwittingly takes an active part in this process of return, which I certainly foresaw from the beginning but I Myself have not destined him to become My direct opposite, because he, too, was a free being which came forth from Me in all perfection ....

Amen

The endtime disciples' task ....

B.D. 8881 from November 12th 1964, taken from Book No. 93

Those of you are My endtime disciples who want to serve Me by taking care of the distribution, because error has increased to an alarming extent, because this is the final weapon in the battle against the light which the adversary diligently strives to extinguish. It is your task to take direct action against the error, to expose My adversary and to always stand up for the pure truth which you receive from Me directly. And even if you make enemies .... you must accept it if you want to be of service to Me, for there is only one truth and you receive it directly from Me. For this reason I use an empty vessel, which had not accepted any kind of prior knowledge, in order to be able to pour in My spirit without the resistance which already existing knowledge would have caused. Thus I was able to instruct a person, I was able to place him into a state of realisation, I was able to present My eternal plan of Salvation to him and explain to him the meaning and purpose of existence .... This vessel had to be completely empty, uncommitted to religious teachings, free from all ideas and so devoted to Me that I was able to fill it, that it accepted everything the 'Eternal Truth' presented to it without opposition. Thus a person was introduced to knowledge which he previously did not possess, in a manner of speaking, a region was opened to him which he never before had entered, which was alien to him until I Myself allowed him to gain an insight into this region. And the fact that this happened in all truthfulness cannot be denied, for My promise is as follows 'I will guide you into all truth ....' If I therefore recognise that all preconditions are in place which are required for the fulfilment of My promise, then you must not doubt, for I keep My Word, but you must also support 'My Word' before the world. For you are in possession of the pure truth from Me .... And thus you also received the information about My reign and activity, of the creation of the spirits, of their apostasy, of the emergence of Creation and of My plan of return .... And you possess the knowledge of your beginning and your final goal .... All those of you who take note of this knowledge will thereby attain a degree of realisation which already signifies advancement, a certain maturity of soul, which I indeed intend to achieve by conveying this knowledge. For only the truth can achieve this. This is why you, My endtime disciples, are instructed to stand up for the truth of the knowledge I have conveyed to you. And all those of you who were introduced to this knowledge through My bearers of light are My disciples, for I do not convey My Word to earth for one person but through one for all those who accept it and they, too, can regard themselves as disciples of the last days .... They will be able to observe strong counter activity on part of the one who once caused your fall. In his eyes you are bearers of light and he tries to extinguish it .... He fights against you with cunning and trickery and his sole purpose is to draw you under his spell, to undermine the pure truth, to extinguish the light and to plunge you into darkness again .... But he will not succeed, for where I Myself Am at work through My spirit there is bright light and the truth enlightens .... it exposes him and his activity and cannot be obscured again because it originates from Me, because a spirit of light is at My disposal which likewise keeps itself closed to My adversary's activity. You humans must always bear in mind that, at the time of the end, messengers will descend from above who will not succumb to his artful temptations, who are only receptive for the pure truth from above, which would never give in to his whisperings and thereby make themselves unsuitable for the receipt of the pure truth .... And thus you can safely grant credence to the Words, for it is a great gift of grace that I look after those people who do not want to fall prey to error, who only ever want to live according to My will and whom I therefore will also protect from the adversary's influence .... But he will try to take action against the light until the end and, where people are willing, he will also be successful. Therefore pay attention to the endtime disciples and accept My gift of grace, for as soon as they stand up for the Word they have received from Me directly, you may grant them credence and you will not regret it, for soon the end will come and with it the last Judgment, the day of decision over life and death .... Then those of you who have kept to My Word can consider yourselves blessed .... for you will enter into eternal life ....

Amen

Regarding the question of the origin of evil ....

B.D. 8882 from November 14th 1964, taken from Book No. 93

I want to help all of you in every spiritual adversity, for you will suffer spiritual adversity if you endorse the pure truth and yet don't know yourselves as to whether you think correctly .... Just like you, My servant once approached Me with the same question. But this question was preceded by a long debate which considered this thought; consequently, an opinion had already been formed before the question was presented to Me .... And the answer to this question was such as human intellect had devised, and since this was an extremely important question on whose reply depended even the last and most profound mystery .... namely My perfection .... it was easy for My adversary to respond to them in his way. And every time this question was discussed he was able to intervene, for then I Myself was no longer able to speak through My servant, instead he voluntarily handed himself over to the adversary, which I was unable to prevent since his free will gave precedence to My opponent .... It is difficult to give credence to this account because My servant had completely placed himself at My disposal, but he should not have first discussed a question with associates who were still open to My adversary .... Hence the answer had already been given through them, whereas My answer sounded gently in his heart but was rejected by him, for the idea that I was also the 'origin of evil' was far closer to him than the fact that the adversary himself had brought evil into the world. A person with the right desire for truth would have instantly recognised the flimsiness of what appeared to be My servant's spiritual product .... For the absurdity that the origin of lies and truth, hatred and love .... thus all opposites, are in Me should have made every thinking person doubt that these revelations are of divine origin .... This merely applies to the revelations about the origin of evil. They must always be associated with people's train of thoughts who reflected on these problems. But the fact that eventually many changes occurred as well cannot be denied, therefore I repeatedly need to implement a cleansing process, since these had also resulted in a change of meaning .... which, however, cannot be blamed on My servant since they happened in due course. And if I keep telling you that it is and will remain My adversary's goal to call My perfection into question in order to prevent you from granting Me all your love .... then you can also understand that, in order to reach this goal, he will avail himself of any half-hearted and complacent person with a casual approach to truth. And time and again such unsuitable people offer their cooperation. However, when it concerns questions which lead you humans astray then I must intervene and choose people again who will serve Me with loyalty and conscientiousness, thus I must present My nature to them as it really is, so that they can also love Me with all their heart and soul .... Then I must also rectify dangerous mistakes, since no error remains without consequences. And someone who gets caught up in error will hardly be able to cope, he will not know what to believe and finally lose all faith. But I gave you the promise that I would guide you into all truth .... And thus you will receive clarification if you sincerely appeal for it and take the path to Me, since only I can grant you the truth which will unite you with Me for all eternity ....

Amen

Regarding the question of the origin of evil ....

B.D. 8883 from November 20th 1964, taken from Book No. 93

No matter what might weigh you down .... bring all your worries to Me, for only I can help you and I will help you, as soon as you entrust yourselves to Me. However, I expect a firm faith of you in the truth of what you hear through My spirit. For only your strength of faith enables your unreserved trust that I cannot offer you anything but the pure truth .... But once you have recognised the truth it is also your duty to distribute it, for nothing is more dangerous than to tolerate an error which will inevitably result in an even greater error. For error is used by the adversary to draw you into darkness .... But it is My will that the pure truth shall prevail and I therefore only ever instruct My messengers to stand up for this recognised truth in order to eradicate every error, for only truth leads to perfection .... And the truth is and will remain that you all emerged from My love .... and therefore also in all perfection .... but that you left the order and thereby became sinful .... Time and time again I say to you that My adversary .... who, as My image, was once externalised as a highest spirit of light .... on account of his apostasy from Me brought sin into the world in the first place, that therefore Lucifer, as My image, was endowed with the same creative power and by virtue of this gave birth to sin, that it did not exist in any being before and that it is therefore utterly erroneous that I Myself include many opposites .... In that case I would not be perfect and would never have been able to create perfect beings either. Just as My inherent qualities were only good, only divine, just as love was the first principle .... Lucifer had evil in him after his fall into sin. His whole nature turned around, he became fundamentally evil and was driven by hatred, his nature was pure falsehood and the complete opposite of truth .... You can never ever assume that untruth and truth, darkness and light, hatred and love .... thus every opposing quality, are in Me, for this would not correspond to a perfect Being Whose fundamental substance is love .... Indeed, all of these characteristics cling to the human being but these are the consequences of rejecting My strength of love .... If I create a perfect being then it means that it completely moves within My eternal order, and it would never have had to revoke this order either. But a second power was at work which used its power negatively to the same extent and also transferred this negative strength onto the beings which fell away .... which thus rejected My illumination of love and thereby acknowledged this power which transferred all evil characteristics upon these beings. These were all the after-effects of the apostasy from Me for which Lucifer is responsible, since no opposites exist in Me or I could not be called a God of love, if hatred was within Me already .... Nor would I be a God of truth if lies existed in Me at the same time ....

You humans must really think clearly, your statements do not correspond to the image that I Am and will remain a supremely perfect Being from eternity to eternity Which was able to work and create in all perfection, Which shelters no imperfections, Whose love will never end and will also include the fallen beings for all eternity. The fact that My likewise powerful adversary would so abuse his power in order to create a world which conflicted with the world of the pure spirits was indeed possible, because his free will aspired towards all characteristics which contradicted My perfect nature and then he transferred these characteristics upon the host of fallen spirits. Consequently, where I Am pure truth he opposes it with untruth .... Where I grant love he brings forth hatred .... Where I provide light he spreads darkness. He changes all noble characteristics embodied in the Divine into evil ones, and the more the beings rejected My illumination of love the stronger became his influence. Everything evil emerged from him and humanity is more or less afflicted by his ingrained failings, the whole earthly world is a world of opposition to Me but which one day will be broken by My infinite love .... For you ought to know that Lucifer was once the most blissfully happy being, created in all perfection and also remained in this bliss for an infinitely long time .... but that he, by rejecting the strength of love, created evil himself by virtue of his power and became My direct opposite .... And all those who followed him adopted the evil characteristics and opposed Me. For the rejection of My strength of love resulted in their solidification, so that they had to be reshaped as Creation and must cover the infinitely long process through the creations in order to then fight as a human being against all ungodly characteristics which Lucifer transferred upon the fallen beings .... And now it depends on whether they will accept the illumination of love of their own free will again, for My love is omnipotent and one day it will achieve a situation in which every being opens itself and desires My love, but then it will also be a most blissfully happy being which has reached the goal of having become My child and will never leave Me again, it will have joined Me again and will be as perfect as it was in the beginning.

Amen

Regarding the question of the origin of evil ....

B.D. 8884 from November 20th 1964, taken from Book No. 93

(Continuation of no 8883)

I cannot tolerate any error, yet a suitable vessel must always place itself at My disposal through which I can convey the pure truth to earth. For this reason I Am also subject to laws, for My adversary demands the same right to entangle you humans in error, and although I Am in charge of him I do not use My power .... I leave it up to the human being to form his own opinion about misleading notions but I will always induce him to deal with them. For he should scrutinise every religious value, he should reflect on everything but not blindly accept everything that is presented to him as 'truth from Me'. For My adversary intervenes wherever the opportunity presents itself .... It is not I Who leads you into wrong thinking .... I will grant truth to anyone who seriously desires it. However, I cannot prevent you from listening to his suggestions. And so I was unable to prevent him from portraying My real nature completely wrongly .... and you accepted it because you often had asked yourselves this question already and thus answered it mentally yourselves. And since it was My adversary's intention to lead your thinking astray, precisely this most important question of the origin of evil was answered to you such as you wanted it yourselves .... yet far removed from the truth. First I had to fill a pure vessel and explain to you all processes of creation in detail, I had to try to make you understand that I want to be recognised as a supremely perfect Being, I had to prove to you humans that I address you again in order to correct this error now which portrays an inaccurate image of Me .... an image, which portrays My nature as humanly limited, with human weaknesses and flaws .... and thus as imperfect. Yet this correction will only again be accepted by that person whose will sincerely desires the truth .... But on the whole people are sure that no error occurred because My servant was totally devoted to Me. And yet it was easy for the adversary to influence the intellect, which had already devised an explanation beforehand and did not approach Me seriously enough for the answer of this extraordinarily important question and distorted the concept of the Deity's nature in a way which subsequently made it difficult to believe in My perfection .... And it is indeed left up to every individual person to create an image of Me according to his will .... Nevertheless, his attention shall be drawn to an error which will lead to entirely wrong thoughts. He cannot demand the evidence but he will believe it if he is faithfully devoted to Me and only ever strives for truth ....

"Hearing" the divine word is evidence of an increased degree of love ....

B.D. 8885 from November 22nd 1964, taken from Book No. 93

From above the light shines down to earth .... My word sounds in you, you who allow this, and My word enlightens you, you who before walked in darkness. Thus you regain what you once relinquished, and this means that you are close to perfection, that you relinquish all resistance, that you reconnect with Me, that you open your hearts in order to receive My illumination of love once more .... When you have reached this aim then your earthly walk was not in vain, then it has earned you the maturity that you have become knowledgeable .... that you no longer need to fear darkness, that you constantly seek Me and unite with Me, and I will do nothing better than to let you find Me. Because I want to let the light flow into your opened hearts in all fullness; you are to completely devote yourselves to Me and receive light and power in excess. And so I want to know all of you to be of such a nature that you could enter the kingdom of light to now be able to create and work as My right children with Me and in My will, which is now also in you yourselves. But there are only few who reach the degree that I can still give them the light before the death of their body .... And especially in the time of the end, where the work of My adversary is very particularly obvious, a strong fight has to start for this light, which is offered to you from Me. But I let this light shine with increased power, which therefore will also ignite in the hearts of all those who earnestly seek Me. When I can again address you, as it was in the beginning, then also My word will achieve the same effect in you; you will draw light and power out of it, and your state will again be the same: that you are blissfully happy and praise Me without ceasing, that you have returned home into your father house and are now also able to hear My word in you all the time .... And therein consists all your happiness to be addressed by Me and to know about My will, which is not different than yours and that is why you also feel unlimited happiness. Who already hears My word on earth .... regardless of whether he receives it directly or through My messengers .... whose degree of maturity is already higher, for it will become light in him and the darkness can no longer oppress him. And he also has the inner bond with Me, otherwise he would not be able to understand My word .... Therefore he can also feel himself addressed by Me, and he will always more give up the bond with the world; he will seek to increase his state of maturity, and he will also succeed because I no longer let him fall as soon as he has given himself to Me. Because now My opponent has lost all power over him; he must release him, because as soon as he has My word, he stands in the light and that also means victory over the dark power .... it means certain redemption from all evil ...._>Amen

God must not be doubted as a "giver" ....

B.D. 8886 from November 23rd 1964, taken from Book No. 93

I Myself address you, your God and father from eternity .... the greatest spirit of infinity, the creator of all things, Who also created you Himself and Whose nature is supremely perfect .... This eternally greatest spirit of heaven and earth inclines towards you, because you are radiated sparks of light from Him, therefore approach your exit out of the fire of My love and therefore are also in your original substance the same, as I am Myself .... I have given you a being, I have let I-conscious beings arise out of Me, which I want to make endlessly happy, which also can no longer pass away, because what is out of Me remains eternally, although it can change in the meantime, but this is a short state compared to eternity .... And this interim change brings about the highest: that I can call 'children' My own .... Beings, which in free will have completely assimilated themselves to My original being and are therefore perfect, just as their father in heaven is perfect. Because My nature is not subject to any limitation, because therefore a constant increase of perfection is also possible, the created being will also strive for ever higher perfection, thus it knows no limits to its striving as soon as it has once reached the degree of perfection. And the being is then perfect when it has become love, which is My original substance .... But the fact that it can constantly increase this degree of love and eternally finds no limitation is simply incomprehensible to you humans, who still dwell in a state of limitation .... Just as you will never understand that this highest and most perfect spirit of infinity bends down to speak to you. But if you would just once let My divine love power have an effect on you in a very small measure, then you would be the most happy creatures, and if now My love power would be given to you in fullness, then also My speech would be understandable to you, which finds in it (in which I) an incomparable happiness to be able to exchange (Myself) with you, My creatures, through the word. Because whether also an endless number of beings has come out of Me, so the individual being is still just as important to Me, exactly because I know no limitation and every being possesses My whole affection. But you humans are in the state of 'interim change', which you have created for yourselves in free will, but which you also have to revoke in free will in order to become again what you were in the beginning. But in this state you are without knowledge, without light .... And I seek to bring you a little light, that is why I speak to you, and because you are without knowledge, because you are blind in spirit, I seek a suitable vessel for Myself, which catches My rays of love power, and now speak through this to you .... only ever with the aim of giving you back the lost knowledge .... Who now accepts My word, he will soon have escaped this state; he will again strive for Me Myself and strive to become perfect; he will have returned to his father from eternity; he will strive to constantly come closer to Me, and he will be happy unlimitedly. The fact that I address you Myself also has its special reason in the forthcoming dissolution of the earth .... For there is the danger that many beings prolong the state in which they now stay, that the banishment in matter is in store for them again. And although there is no concept of time and space for Me, although before Me a thousand years are like a day, so have mercy on Me for your lot, you who still feel time endless in the state of agonies, and I want to help you to become free of it. But do not doubt that I speak to you Myself, but accept everything as pure truth, which has its start from Me. I am only concerned about your well-being, and I will help you all if you want to accept My help, but I cannot put your will under compulsion .... Yet My words should suffice you, and if you know Who speaks to you, then no doubts may befall you, for He Who is lord over heaven and earth, Who has a claim on you and wants to lead you back again, He also knows the right ways .... But His word is the surest and quickest way to reach Him, and if you just keep to what I announce to you then you can shorten your way very much, it will lead to Me and to bliss .... It will put you back into the state as you were in the beginning ...._>Amen

When and why did the perfect beings become imperfect? ....

B.D. 8887 from November 25th 1964, taken from Book No. 93

Everything that came forth from Me had to be perfect because I was simply incapable of creating something imperfect, since My love, wisdom and power would not allow for any flaws in the creations which My will externalised from Me .... This, therefore, happened 'in the beginning' .... when it pleased Me to create a being for Myself and endowed it with the same creative power in order to provide this being with the pleasure of externalising similar beings through its will and with the use of My strength .... But to deny Me this perfection is only possible for those people who are in a state of imperfection themselves, who, due to their intellectual limitation, cannot imagine that, in a state of perfection, it would be impossible to create something imperfect. However, if only perfection could have come forth from Me, when did the perfect beings change to become imperfect? This question is difficult and yet, at the same time, also easy to answer .... The fact that My supremely perfect creation was able to change itself into the opposite will forever remain incomprehensible to you .... but the fact that free will allowed for distancing itself from divine order must be understandable to you. For free will was able to leave the divine order, it was able to revoke the divine order, hence it was able to turn the initially perfect being into the opposite, into a state of ungodliness which totally contradicted My perfect nature. And My first-created spirit, having been endowed with the same creative power, created this state for itself by virtue of its faculty of thought .... In My perfection I was unable to harbour a wrong thought .... but he was able to do so because he had free will and used it wrongly. Thinking wrongly would have been impossible for Me, but it was possible for him due to his thinking ability which was otherwise inclined on account of his free will .... As human beings your thinking is limited, you try to find your own explanation in My nature that evil also came from Me but you fail to consider that the fall of the spirits would have to be attributable to Me Myself had I not externalised the beings in a perfect state .... But you do not want to accept the fact that you can thank him for the apostasy, instead, you try to blame the most supremely perfect Being Which truly could only have created you such as it was possible: in highest perfection .... The fact that you want to see all opposing qualities embedded in Me as well is only the evidence that My fundamental nature is alien to you. I certainly know what is in opposition to Me, because I was able to observe My adversary's wrong thinking and was aware that his sin consisted of the fact that he rebelled against Me, that he begrudged Me My strength and thus slowly grew to hate Me .... And I also knew where his attitude would take him, but I did not stop his fall, nor the beings who wanted to follow him .... even though they also emerged from Me in all perfection. But since I had furnished the beings with free will I could not deny them accepting the thoughts of the one who secretly opposed Me, and these thoughts also led to the beings' fall, since he transferred all thoughts of hatred onto them which caused their apostasy. They rebelled against Me, no longer recognised Me and rejected My strength of love. But how wrong it is, wanting to see all opposing qualities in Me, can be seen from the fact that you could doubt My love, which thus created you in My image, that you could doubt My wisdom, which thus supports your fall and that you could also doubt My omnipotence, which can only ever create highest perfection. Therefore I refute this doctrine as a misguided teaching which will always prevent you from recognising Me correctly in My fundamental nature and deny Me the love I desire from you ....

Amen

Process of love power exchange ....

B.D. 8888 from November 28th 1964, taken from Book No. 93

When I gave you life it was an incomparably blissful act of creation, both for Me and for the being externalised from Myself which also took part in your creation. This process was an exchange of love-power .... My endless love flowed through the first being, the strength had to express itself somehow, and these expressions of strength were beings which were exactly of the same nature as I Myself and also the one who had received My flow of love-power .... They could also not be different, since love is the original power and only the highest perfection could radiate out of love. This will only then become understandable to you when you know that My original being is love, wisdom and omnipotence, that they express themselves unlimitedly and therefore wisdom and omnipotence never allow that love could ever put out something defective out of itself, as on the other hand love is caused by wisdom and omnipotence to the last expression, therefore all prerequisites are given for the creation of something most perfect .... All of you have come forth from God .... Do you know what that means? .... That you were radiated by the most perfect and that you had only one aim, to return love to Me, which you also did for eternal times, and continued to send your love back to Me .... Precisely this process was the most blissful, that you felt exactly as I Myself do. The exchange of our longing for love was fulfilled to an unimaginable degree .... You approached the way to My heart again and again, and the happiness of our union was immeasurable, because again and again My love power shone through you .... But for you, who live on this earth as a human being, this bliss once came to an end .... when you closed yourselves to My illumination of love and fell away from Me .... But you were by no means without light that you therefore lost your way to the deep. You stood in full awareness, to whom you had to owe this love current, which made you happy for eternities. But he who was involved in your creation, he wanted to see Me, this (however) was quite impossible, because I was and am not visible for any being created by Me .... He saw himself in his glory and demanded full recognition from his beings as God and lord .... So these beings lost their light, their perfection, because they rejected the light from eternity. The exchange of love-light and strength had now ceased for these beings .... but which belongs to the fact that the beings are unlimitedly happy .... And again it was My infinite love, My wisdom and My omnipotence, which now let creations come into being to again pull up this that had fallen into the deep, to again let light shine towards it, which now again has to be accepted voluntarily and that is why the being remains in darkness for an endless long time when it cannot decide to open itself voluntarily .... But that the being .... once My bearer of light .... who was blissfully happy to an undreamt-of degree has now changed into My opposite pole is such a tremendous event that no-one will be able to muster understanding for it, for he enjoyed greatest bliss and relinquished it in free will .... He has fallen from the highest height to the deepest depth, he has completely changed his nature and become evil .... But I could never have created evil, for he came forth from Me in radiant fullness of light, as well as all beings created by our power and will. But for the sake of the deification of the created beings I allowed these aberrations and did not resist free will when the beings turned away from Me .... For one day I will achieve that everything will open itself to Me again in order to receive My illumination of love, and that it will then also be infinitely happy again, as it was in the beginning ...._>Amen

The darkness thickens ....

B.D. 8889 from December 1st 1964, taken from Book No. 93

All your thinking has to correspond to the truth as soon as you put yourselves completely at My disposal, as soon as you only want to serve Me and entirely hand yourselves over to My direction and guidance. Then you no longer need to worry that you will fall into My adversary's hands, that he can use you for his own ends, for then I Myself, the eternal Essence of light, will stand between you and him. And then you will also be My true servants who speak in My name and advocate the truth. Yet you should know that there are still many errors amongst people .... that wrong ideas had asserted themselves for decades and centuries which simply could not be removed because they were too firmly anchored and which could only have been rectified if I had directly revealed Myself from above, and then such revelations would have had to be believed. However, due to your freedom of will I was unable to do this and the tools I used were condemned as servants of Satan, for dignitaries of the church had also deliberated on problems and no-one was allowed to contradict them without endangering their life. And since they maintained that I Myself decide which people would gain beatitude or be condemned, no ordinary human being, through whom My spirit was able to work, would have been listened to, if only because the process of the 'working of the spirit within the human being' was unknown to them .... For if a person supported such a wrong doctrine, his thinking had to be completely mistaken, thus he would have been without love which could have enlightened his spirit. And they also presented My nature such that people received a totally distorted image of Me and were unable to love Me but only able to fear Me and My might.

And so they distanced themselves constantly further from Me, because they did not recognise a loving Father in Me and searching for the truth by themselves was forbidden, or they would have confided in Me and I would have revealed Myself to them. Yet time and again I have spoken to those who wanted to hear Me through their spirit and have revealed secrets of creation to them which only I as the eternal Creator was able to impart to them, and I informed them about the meaning and purpose of creation and their earthly existence .... But only a few ever accepted this knowledge since it was decried as misguided teaching and no-one wanted to acknowledge its divine influence. And so many misguided teachings were spread that in the end every thinking person lost faith and together with the misguided teachings also rejected the right teachings, so that he soon lost all religious contact, unless he was a thinker who pondered about himself and his existence and thereby enabled Me to enlighten his thoughts .... Nevertheless, My adversary's influence greatly contributed towards the fact that the number of those who desired light kept decreasing, that there are only a few individuals to whom I can reveal Myself, and these individuals will have great difficulty in rectifying the widespread error which was accepted by the broad masses ....

If humanity knew the truth, conditions in the world would never be what they are now. Harmony and peace would reign, since they are the results of truth. However, the light does not force its way and therefore it is also a misguided opinion that the light will suddenly break through and light up the entire darkness, for the darkness will get even thicker until the end, and only isolated sparks of light will shine forth and enlighten the hearts of those who desire it. Until, at the end of the days, the Eternal Light Itself will shine upon the earth, but only visible to those who are and want to remain My Own, while the others will descend into the darkness, for light cannot exist where it is resisted .... The world, however, is full of resistance and, therefore, engulfed by densest darkness. Yet the light will shine brightly on the new earth .... Then the adversary's power will have been crushed, he will be bound again for a long time and during this time there will be truth on earth, presented by My angels who will be in constant contact with the people on the new earth. Then the light will have penetrated and dispelled all shadows, but it cannot happen on this earth anymore while the adversary is still active and people won't oppose him. But anyone who is already enlightened here on earth will also retain it, for the light from above cannot be extinguished anymore once it has broken through somewhere .... This is why I admonish all bearers of light to continue drawing into their midst all those who are willing, who do not resist the light when it shines for them. For the time draws to a close and anyone who doesn't find the light here anymore will irrevocably be devoured by the darkness. He will meet with the same fate as My adversary, he will be bound again for an infinitely long time ....

Amen

How long did Christ's doctrine remain pure? ....

B.D. 8890 from December 5th 1964, taken from Book No. 93

I draw those of you close to Me who want to be addressed by Me, who have questions bothering you which only I can answer for you. Many a time one question has been asked: how long did Christ's doctrine remain pure and what caused it to become contaminated? And I have always taught you such that it remained pure for as long as a direct working of My spirit was possible .... however, when people of unawakened spirit took the lead .... people who could not be taught by Me directly, in whom My spirit simply could not work any longer, then, understandably, it had to change .... The first disciples, as well as their successors, were still in close contact with Me, they were still influenced by My crucifixion, for although quite some time had passed afterwards it was nevertheless a powerful event to which My first disciples testified, so that they found numerous followers who adopted the divine doctrine of love and also endeavoured to live a life of love .... who thereby accepted the faith in the divine Redeemer and also attained the awakening of their spirit .... While this was the case My doctrine remained pure, their faith was alive and My first disciples were able to keep educating apostles and sending them out into the world with the task of proclaiming the Gospel of love. And every messenger was under My direct influence, he only ever passed on what the voice of the spirit within him told him, what he had to say because he was filled with the 'spirit of God'. The dilution of My teaching did not suddenly take place either, one thing followed another as someone or other was unsuited for a ministry but appointed himself to fill it or was elected by those who were also spiritually unawakened. In due course, the initially small communities grew into larger organizations which, in turn, were answerable to someone more powerful who elevated himself to this position because he possessed knowledge which other brothers lacked, but which could not be called spiritual knowledge. Thus a structure began to appear which, in the beginning, was still managed by good people but which took on ever worldlier forms, who certainly saw their task in spreading the Gospel but simultaneously also pursued earthly objectives, for they no longer possessed the characteristic of My church .... inner enlightenment through the spirit .... so that they eventually only observed the dead letter but were no longer able to demonstrate a living faith.

The church which I Myself founded on earth has not changed, even today it is still made up of those who believe in Me with a living faith and in whom My spirit can be active .... whom I can therefore guide in their thoughts so that their thinking is always right and they have a living bond with Me. This church has weathered all times, it survived in the midst of large organizations because its members were from all confessions and they were alive in their thoughts, determination and actions. Therefore, no time can be specified as to how long it remained pure .... For time and again I say to you that I only consider those people to be members of My church who know themselves to be close to Me, who live in constant union with Me, who believe in Me and with whom I can therefore speak through the spirit .... And everywhere, in all denominations, there have been people who were very close to Me, I was able to reveal Myself far and wide and guide them into profound knowledge .... Yet whether they were acknowledged as true vessels for divine revelations depended upon the spiritual state of those who considered themselves leaders and who were already considerably distant from the truth. The number of My true disciples has also shrunk considerably, and even today I send them out to preach the Gospel to the nations, the Gospel of love, because only through love can people prove that they belong to Me, to My church, because then My spirit will be able to be active within them, which is the surest sign of it. But only they will acquire the kingdom of heaven, only to them can I convey the truth and reveal My plan of eternity .... For far more important things are at stake than just the observance of church traditions and performances which are of no value whatsoever for the progress of the human soul .... It concerns the life of the soul which it can only achieve through loving actions and a living faith .... To make this known to their fellow human beings was the only task I gave to My first disciples. And I accepted everyone into My church who observed these commandments, and even today the same commandment is still valid: 'Love God above all else and your neighbour as yourself ....'

Amen

Spiritual help on the way back .... free will ....

B.D. 8891 from December 6th 1964, taken from Book No. 93

Countless worlds have already arisen to receive the endless crowd of fallen original spirits, which as unredeemed need just as endless many creations to be able to cover their course of development in them. But all these worlds have also been arranged by spirits of light that those entities could shelter in their creations because in it lies the happiness of the light beings to constantly put out creations for the fallen spiritual, which each fulfils its purpose to bring the spiritual bound in it to maturity. And so the spiritual world is in permanent connection with the fallen spiritual, only that those beings feel an incomparable happiness thereby, while the fallen spiritual goes and must go an agonizing way to also once reach the aim to likewise participate creatively in what is still wretched. The world of light therefore uses the power, by which it is constantly flooded, to create always new creations, because still no end is foreseeable, there are still so many unbound substances, which wait to be caught by the love radiation of those beings .... which still buzz around unbound in the universe, which first have to be condensed to matter, to now be able to start the way of development. Because matter is spiritual power, which has condensed itself to form. Therefore the spiritual must let itself be captured and therefore give up the first resistance, which consisted of repelling all love power. The light beings surround this spiritual substance with their love power, without forcing it to give up its resistance, but love exerts a beneficent effect on that still resisting spiritual, so that it lets itself be captured, therefore the first resistance is broken. And then the spiritual goes through all creations in the mandatory state, what is certainly extremely agonizing, but not to be avoided, because this course once leads to the last perfection. And the spiritual being full of light will always help everyone who has sunk into the abyss to ascend from the abyss, even if this path requires endless times before he reaches the final aim .... the embodiment as man .... as a human being. But then the once fallen original spirit is again complete in all its particles, it lacks not the slightest spiritual substance, it is what it was before its fall to the deep .... however one thing is not yet present in him: He is still completely devoid of all love, without which there is no upward development. That is why God accomplished the greatest work of love when He created man and added to him a spark of His spirit of God, which now enables man to change again to his original being, to become again as it was in the beginning. That now also again the light beings do not slacken in their efforts to lead man to the highest possible maturity, that goes without saying, because that is exactly their happiness, to grant help to men in the last stage, to also help them to happiness, although free will can also prevent it and man again prolongs the time of distance from God endlessly .... But the love of those beings is so great that it is bound by law, that it can only then have an effect when free will of man allows it. But would you men know about your course of development or believe it when you are informed of it, then you would use all power to once be able to leave the cover as man, to again be able to be accepted into the kingdom of light and to become partakers of all glory. But proof cannot be given to you, but you will also not be able to say to have remained ignorant. And so it is up to your free will again, as it was once when you fell into the abyss. You also used your will wrongly there and had to atone for it through eternities, but you can also now expect no better fate when you again fail in your will. But you will experience help at any time, only you must be of good will yourselves that you also want to let yourselves be helped ...._>Amen

The day of the end will be adhered to ....

B.D. 8892 from December 10th 1964, taken from Book No. 93

All those who work for Me are under My guaranteed protection, yet the work must constantly be done because you cannot work freely for much longer. Your task consists of informing your fellow human beings of the gift of grace which is at the disposal of those who want to take advantage of it .... who feel affected by My Word and want to be addressed by Me as well. I cannot perceptibly speak to them because people are not prepared for the reception of My Word. But I can speak to them through you and provide them with clarification about their purpose of life on earth. This is where you should speak to them where it is appropriate .... yet wherever you are not welcome shake the dust off your feet and move on. You only have a short time at your disposal, as you will soon be prevented and only able to work in seclusion, yet every person who has made use of the gift of grace beforehand will also know that he is protected by Me and will calmly bear the approaching time. But you, My servants, can still acquire many spiritual treasures for yourselves, for your activity is highly valued since it concerns, after all, the redemption of straying souls which you should save from the fate of a renewed banishment. For this reason you should also know that you are being guided, nothing will arbitrarily approach you, everything is predetermined by Me so that you will only take action in accordance with My will. For the end is coming closer with giant strides .... And it will take all of you by surprise, for the day I designated for the end of this earth will be adhered to. And regardless of whether people want to doubt it .... regardless of how much homage they pay to the world .... they will have to forego everything and only their state of soul will decide their future fate. This is why people should strive to improve their soul's state and this necessitates My Word which informs them of My will. By merely mustering the slightest determination of living according to My will they will also receive the strength to do so and also draw this from My Word. Then their state of maturity will already be ensured, for their will being inclined towards Me is the passed test of will, which is the purpose and goal of earthly existence. So as soon as you, My servants, are able to stimulate your fellow human beings into believing in Me, as soon as you can persuade them to practise unselfish neighbourly love in order to awaken this faith in Me to life, you will actually have carried out true vineyard work and your reward in the spiritual kingdom will not fail to materialise .... I will still send souls to cross your path which require your vineyard work, which are willing to accept the Word I offer them through you and which will also become capable of living up to it. And so you are spreading the light which enlightens you, which can never ever be extinguished again and which will make all of you infinitely happy but which you must not put it under a bushel, i.e. so that it will not serve the purpose of being spread, for which I convey it to earth. All those of you who offered your service to Me are also called to distribute My Word, even if My adversary wants to prevent you from doing so .... He is unable to counteract My Word as soon as you want to do this work ....For My Word is light and emanates light and he takes flight from the light because it is My emanation .... Hence he will never be able to extinguish the light from above as long as you are faithfully devoted to Me. But he will put you under pressure to do his will and then you must resist him and always be aware of the fact that you want to be of service to Me, then he will withdraw because he cannot break this will of yours. And thus, I will lovingly seize every person who wants to be of service to Me and guide him through all impediments. For he will have openly declared his position and will therefore also experience My obvious care. For you are My endtime disciples through whom I still want to take effect until the very last hour ....

Amen

Jesus Christ must be acknowledged by man ....

B.D. 8893 from December 13th 1964, taken from Book No. 93

You have entered My love light circle as soon as I can address you, because then you open your heart to Me and are prepared to receive My love power. Once you closed yourselves to this ray of love light, and your nature was only defence of that, what made you happy until then without measure. You thereby lost all knowledge, which is now supplied to you again .... you became powerless and can now again receive strength in abundance .... all signs of regression were present in you, but now the path will lead you upwards .... Everything you were striving for was negative, but now you can only have a positive effect on all spiritual that is still imperfect, that walks the earth as a human being just like you .... You were endlessly far away from Me .... but now you come closer and closer to Me; the wide gulf is overcome, which separated us, because your will is turned towards Me again, as it was in the beginning. You are close to your aim, the complete unification with Me. But one thing is necessary for it that you acknowledge Me Myself again, that you see in Me the divine redeemer, who suffered for your former offence and died on the cross to make atonement for this offence. It would not be possible for you to establish this bond with Me if you were still under the burden of original sin, for then My adversary would still have you under his control, who would prevent any bond with Me if you did not turn to Jesus Christ, Who resisted him and overcame him .... if I Myself did not help you, Who I became 'human' in Jesus. Your ascent development as a human being can only take place if the guilt is forgiven first, otherwise it would not be possible for you to hear Me again as in the beginning, that you are introduced to pure truth by Me, that you increase in knowledge and thus are visibly in contact with Me .... And that is why it is the most important thing in earth life that man gets enlightenment why he has to acknowledge Jesus Christ, because only after that the ascent development can start, otherwise he leaves earth life again exactly the same way as he has entered it .... The sin of rebellion against Me has happened and cannot be deleted until He is acknowledged Who has paid the sin debt for you. So I cannot first give information to a man and teach him truthfully before he has not taken the way to the cross, before he has not handed over his sin debt to Him Who has paid it for him. But then it is also not difficult to ascend because he can again enter the love circle and therefore develop upwards; it will be easy for him because he will certainly not lack power because My word is the power, which he now receives. But it is not possible to go the same way without Jesus Christ, which leads up, because the original sin burdens him, and every ascent up will be prevented by My opponent, who then still has power over him, which he also truly uses. That is why also in the times of the end little spiritual success is to be recorded because faith in Jesus Christ is so rarely still to be found, and when also a man confesses Him, then this is only more form to not contradict, but in case of emergency he will make no public confession and easily give Him away. And still information must be given on the part of My word announcers to every man who is open for it that he at least takes the knowledge about Him over with Him into the kingdom on the other side because it can also then still lead to redemption out of darkness. As soon as a man therefore consciously establishes the deep, intimate union with Me, I can also instruct him and give him knowledge about everything, but then he is not to get tired to also impart the same to his fellowmen, which now certainly also only those will accept, who are not unwilling to let themselves be redeemed, who start the walk to the cross and whom I then can also help further, until they have also entered into the union with Me and come closer and closer to their perfection. Because it is faith in the work of redemption of Jesus Christ, which only opens the gate to the kingdom of light, because He has taken up the fight with him, who has all of you in his power and wants to keep you, but from whom Jesus Christ has bought the souls, and therefore only the own will still belongs to it, to also let himself be bought free. Seek to make clear to all the reason and meaning of the work of redemption, which you have taken note of from Me Myself, because no man is allowed to pass by this question, whose earth life is to be of success that he can enter into the kingdom of light and happiness ...._>Amen

Earth task: inner enlightenment ....

B.D. 8894 from December 15th 1964, taken from Book No. 93

All of you will be illuminated by the eternal light Itself, you who demand that I address you Myself, you who accept My word within yourselves and live it out .... you who are doers and not just hearers of My word. For the eternal light Itself shines upon you, and It must let Its bright light fall upon you; you can no longer move in the darkness in which you have walked for endless times .... Then a ray of light must hit you, which once made you happy, but which you had voluntarily given away. And this ray of light is a sign that you willingly open the door of your heart to Me, that My light of love can shine into you again. I want to again draw you to Me; I want that you again reach the former state; I want that you again reach knowledge, which makes you happy. But I also want that you recognize every error, that you detest it as work of My opponent, that you also see the darkness, which lies over earth, and that you do everything what can break through the darkness. You are not to claim the light for yourselves alone, but also kindle it in your fellowmen, so that these can also drive away darkness with your help. That is why you are to carry the light further and also make your fellowmen happy with it, because only in light you can be happy. You are to live in love yourselves and also seek to stimulate fellow human beings to a life of love. And you will possess light in all fullness. When your change to love takes place, then you are rescued for all eternity; then you have again entered into the original relationship, and you have reached your purpose of earth life. But exactly to fulfil the love commandments is difficult for men, although their original nature itself is love. But through the fall into the deep self-love has strongly emerged, and now you must take up the fight against this; you must put your I aside and become absorbed in love towards the neighbour, then you will be allowed to enjoy the light; then the light will illuminate you from within and enlighten you about everything what has been buried in you and remains buried for eternal times until you change this state yourselves. And that is your life task, for the purpose of which you go the earth course, which is soon finished for every one of you. Still seek to light a small light in you before, so that you do not pass over completely lightless into the kingdom on the other side, because there it is far more difficult to come to a gleam of light, then your own power is no longer enough, and you are dependent on help, which men send to you from earth through loving intercession. But when you have practiced little neighbourly love, also few men will find themselves willing to pray for you. And your misery will be great because to possess no glimmer of light is a sad lot, but which awaits you. Again and again opportunity is offered to you for unselfish neighbourly love. But if you let all these opportunities pass, then you must take a lot upon yourselves, which is bitter for you, because only love helps you further, and for this you no longer possess power. Love is the light, which gives bright knowledge to him who lives in love. Therefore let all your light shine, who let yourselves be addressed by Me Myself, and carry this light further, so that the number of those, who walk along without light, becomes smaller and smaller, because all will thank you, who have come to the light through you ...._>Amen

Correction of false doctrines ....

B.D. 8895 from December 17th 1964, taken from Book No. 93

The fact that you will all be plunged into doubt cannot be avoided, after all, it is a matter of coming forth with the truth and eliminating an error which has taken root in you .... I can only ever point out to you that you are moving in wrong thinking, that it is quite impossible to want to confront Me with bad qualities. Everything is bright and clear in Me, no thought from Me could ever be otherwise, and likewise you were originally emanated from Me in all perfection. But you did not remain so, and that has been the cause of completely erroneous ideas, which I can only ever correct, but must leave it up to you whether you want to accept the truth, because I can do everything but not attack your free will, which is a sign of your divine origin .... And I can certainly also give you the explanation that you cannot cite the book of books as proof for the correctness of your thinking, for on the one hand this has also no longer been preserved pure and on the other hand it came into being after the emergence of the world, after the fall of the spirits, after their turning away from Me .... It is therefore no proof of such a God as you imagine him to be, with human weaknesses and faults, which can never be brought into application for Me .... You must always make a distinction between the time before the apostasy of the spirits and that which gave rise to the creation of the world .... But you are never allowed to connect Me Myself with what free will had brought about in you and out of you. And everything that was the result of your former decision against Me, for that you hold Me responsible, and you do not consider that it would have been completely impossible for Me to let creatures come into being out of Me, which were not perfect. And perfection includes that they were created according to My image, which had to be just as light and clear because this corresponded to My original nature. The first created being of light .... Lucifer, who changed himself into My antipole .... has been intent on distorting My image since his apostasy from Me in order not to induce any being to return, and he has succeeded, so that eternities will pass until I am recognized by the apostate beings as a God of love again .... And especially in the times of the end he lets the confusion among you men become stronger and stronger. And that means ever greater darkening, because he has also found shelter under the cover of piety, because men in their limited thinking cannot imagine anything 'perfect', because they look for a place of departure for all their faults and their sinfulness and believe to find this place of departure in Me, but who is and will remain exalted above everything and My kingdom is an area of perfection, which lies completely apart from the world of the fallen spirits. Consider how small you humans imagine Me to be if you assume that I would have created beings for Myself into which I would also have placed the 'God-opposing' element .... Who Myself wanted you to remain with Me, Who regarded the rejection of My strength of love as the worst sin directed against Me .... thus I Myself as your creator would have been the cause of this transgression .... But now this thought has been spread among men, and this false doctrine has truly found a great following, and it is therefore very difficult to take a stand against it, because only that man will accept it, who recognizes Me as most perfect, who is not satisfied that ever the smallest negative thought can be in Me, who therefore recognizes every hateful thought, every lie as wrong, because with it also perfection is questioned. For you therefore the first-created spirit became the antipole, when you were to test your resistance against it during your existence as man .... But I Myself do not need an antipole .... but the fallen spiritual needs it to be able to find back to Me again, it needs it to bring its power of resistance to the highest development, and it needs it because only so the highest perfection can be reached again, in which it stood in the beginning. Because I issued spiritual creations out of Me before the creation of beings, and I also let creations come into being with the created beings without needing a counter pole .... But when Lucifer called a world of resistance against Me into being, these spirits also needed a counter pole, between whom and Me they now had to decide. He therefore became My opponent in free will and thereby unintentionally helps in the return of the spiritual .... In the freedom of will therefore you men have the reason for the apostasy of the spirits, but this was likewise a sign of their divinity .... The fact that you misused it is solely your fault and the fault of him whom you followed into the abyss because he was visible, and therefore you have become unhappy until you return to Me again, which likewise free will must bring about ...._>Amen

Correction of false doctrines ....

B.D. 8896 from December 18th 1964, taken from Book No. 93

How significant it is that you take refuge in Me in every spiritual trouble, that I have to emphasize again and again, because with it you give Me full right to protect you from My opponent, who will try everything to again gain his power over you. But you can be unconcerned; he no longer has a right to you, and his efforts are fruitless. And so you can also be convinced of it that you cannot get into wrong thinking when you hand yourselves over to Me. You can be certain that I teach you Myself and that My word is truth .... Because I alone am the light; who comes to Me, he will also stand in the light, and I will reveal Myself to him .... i.e., I will instruct him truthfully, because I alone can overlook the danger of a misguided teaching and because I do everything to lead men to truth. Believe that you must accept the truth and free yourselves from error if you want to attain the right knowledge, which can only ever be found in truth .... You do not recognize the great danger of erroneous thinking, but no misguided teaching remains without consequences; it always draws further misguided teachings after it, and thus you get caught in a net of him who tries everything to confuse you, but who has no power over you when you take refuge with Me in spiritual adversity and ask for protection from him. Then you can confidently hand yourselves over to My guidance, I will give you clarification in every question which moves you .... And I will truly not fail to also give you the reasons why you are unable to distinguish truth from error: Let every man reflect on spiritual material supplied to him .... and let him ask Me for enlightenment of spirit .... Then he will also become suspicious about an erroneous teaching, which cannot be from Me, because I always only hand out truth. But it is enough for you to know that a person has received spiritual knowledge from Me, and thus you accept it without hesitation in the belief that it can only be 'truth' which is now conveyed to people through him .... But you do not consider that this human being was also of weak flesh and that My adversary was then also able to make use of him .... and also did it when the possibility existed to spread a veil again over the bright light which came forth from Me. I did not resist him, nor could I resist him because this was his right .... But every thinking man should have recognized the error when he took note of it in the intimate bond with Me. Because also My servant was not under compulsion of will, he was also free, and he should only have addressed the request for protection from error to Me before, but which he did not do. And I allowed it because I also now again put the condition to the readers to demand truth in all seriousness to let them recognize error as such. Because the thoughtless adoption of spiritual material is not enough; the desire for truth remains decisive at all times whether men move in it. And that I have again and again corrected such erroneous teachings when a man has doubted it, that everyone himself will be able to confirm, who has seriously put this question to Me .... why I also now again give enlightenment to the few, who take offence at it, that they do not (are to) want to see in Me Myself the outcome of evil and because they therefore do not want to accept a teaching, which puts the image of a perfect God and creator to them as doubtful .... But everyone can come to the opinion that perfection cannot be denied to Me, but what My opponent seeks to achieve through the spreading of an erroneous teaching ...._>Amen

Call from earth for a savior ....

B.D. 8897 from December 21st 1964, taken from Book No. 93

The eternal light descended to earth itself, and it shone light into all hearts, which opened themselves and granted Him entrance. Because it was a time of darkness in which men walked along, and no-one could free himself from it because the opponent still had full power. And only few called for a rescuer in their trouble, who was to free them from that power. Only few felt it that they were bound, and these few also knew that a rescuer was announced to them; they knew about the prophecy that one should come from the tribe of David, and they promised themselves help out of their trouble from Him. But they expected earthly help because they were of good heart and therefore also recognized the injustice of their fellow human beings .... That the saviour was sent from above and wanted to bring them salvation in a completely different way, that they could not grasp with their worldly directed senses .... But where good will was evident, there men also accepted the light, which enlightened their hearts. They allowed themselves to be instructed and introduced by the man Jesus to much knowledge which was necessary for their salvation .... For God sent His only begotten son to earth .... A soul of light took abode on earth and now walked as a human being in order to exemplify a life of love to people, in order to prepare people for the work of redemption which God Himself wanted to accomplish in the man Jesus .... Mankind was surrounded by dense darkness, therefore the light itself came to earth to enlighten them about their purpose of existence and to present the commandments of love to them very urgently, to prove to them the effect of a life of love in Himself and so to make human hearts receptive for the light radiation from above. But He had to sacrifice Himself to make atonement for them for their once great guilt of apostasy from God .... People were still under the spell of this sin, and the gate to the kingdom of light was closed to them, so that they could not enter it at their death but had to await the redeemer Jesus Christ in limbo and, believing in Him, now be allowed to follow Him, since He had been the door to the kingdom of light .... And also there the souls knew about the messiah, Who was announced by prophets and seers .... And they expected Him full of longing, whom they recognized as their saviour out of spiritual trouble. Everywhere the man Jesus carried the light, everywhere He sought to enlighten people about their former end and their purpose of existence, about their great original sin, for which He took upon Himself the most bitter death on the cross to make atonement .... God sent His son to earth to take abode in Himself, and thus the man Jesus had to prepare Himself in such a way that He became a vessel for Him, so pure and full of love, that He could represent the deity .... as the eternal love .... that God Himself accomplished the act of salvation in Him, that God became 'human' and the man Jesus completely entered into His father, and thus God's incarnation can also be explained to anyone who has been redeemed by Jesus Christ and already possesses a slight glimmer of knowledge .... God is love, love was in the man Jesus, and the man Jesus died the most painful death on the cross .... So God Himself accomplished the work of redemption, only that He chose a human shell for Himself which was full of love .... And so men became free from their jailer who wanted it .... For God does not use compulsion .... But any one can avail himself of the graces of the work of redemption to escape this jailer. Everyone can ask for a strengthened will, because this the man Jesus has acquired on the cross for all who want to free themselves from the opponent. And to be able to supply them with a measure of power, He gave men the love commandments, whose fulfilment earned them power and strengthening of the will at the same time. To practice love in thoughts of the divine redeemer Jesus Christ is the surest guarantee to become free from the adversary, for love is the sharpest weapon against him, and it is the divine redeemer Who used this weapon to defeat him .... He has ransomed the souls with His life, and the adversary can no longer hold them if they want to become free from him .... And so the light has risen to earth, It brought freedom to those who let themselves be illuminated by the divine light of love, which all could ignite in themselves, who opened their hearts and thus wanted to restore the state in which they stood before their fall into sin .... if they let themselves be redeemed by Jesus Christ, Who died for the original sin on the cross ...._>Amen

God Himself accomplished the work of redemption ....

B.D. 8898 from December 23rd 1964, taken from Book No. 93

When My human cover was to shelter the eternal deity, the hardship on earth had become so great that only God Himself could bring help to people, and this in such a way that He entered earth as a human being in order to wage a battle against the one who was to blame for the wretched state in which people found themselves .... And that man had to have all natural prerequisites, a soul from above had to embody itself in Him so that the eternal divinity found a stay in it without consuming this man with Its fullness of light and power. Because It had to work in a sphere, which corresponded to Its original nature; It could only stay in a vessel, which was sinless, but which on the other hand also had the ability to be able to suffer, because an enormous sin guilt had to be paid off to redeem mankind. And thus God Himself accomplished the act of salvation, for He was love Itself, Which now sheltered Itself in Me as the human shell and thus I walked the difficult path of the cross in order to help My fallen brothers .... There was only one solution, that an angel-spirit .... an unfallen being .... offered to take the earthly path in a human shell, that this angel spirit accomplished a work of greatest love, that He offered space to the eternal love Which now completely filled Him, so that love Itself made the sacrifice, that love Itself took the immense guilt upon Itself in order to make atonement for God's righteousness, which only God Himself as the eternal love could make, because otherwise it could not be eternally redeemed by sinful humanity itself. So as a human being I waged a battle against the one who held you captive .... I waged this battle with the weapon of love, against which My adversary is powerless .... I taught love, lived a life of love for people, proved to them the power of love and crowned this work with My death on the cross, which I innocently suffered and died on the cross in excruciating pain .... Only love could accomplish such a work, which therefore was in Me and gave Me as man the power for immeasurable suffering, but I suffered for My fallen brothers, I wanted to open the kingdom of light for them and also bring redemption from their guilt to those who had already departed before My death on the cross. Because a gate was closed to all of them, which I only opened through My work of redemption. But since love completely filled Me as man, since I so to speak became love myself, therefore only love was in Me, so I could also say of Myself that God was in Me, that I Myself had received the divinity and consequently every man, who saw Me, had to see the father, because I and the father became one. He became man, and I became God .... and will remain so until all eternity. Because God is love, and this filled the nature of the man Jesus completely, and since I wanted to be a visible God for men, I chose the cover of the man Jesus for this, which let itself be completely radiated through by Me and I now became a visible God in Him for every soul of light. For once the beings fell away from Me because they were not able to see Me, who in My original power and My original light could never be seen by the beings, which had come out of Me. But I have taken My creatures' desire into account .... I have become a visible God for you in Jesus, Whom you can now see face to face ...._>Amen

B.D. 8899 from December 24th 1964, taken from Book No. 93

_(Time of printing) (Print and distribution of the messages)You have already been told several times that the spreading of the truth is extremely important, because people’s eternal life depends on their attitude towards the truth, and therefore everything should be done to present them with the truth. But I know every human heart, I know who is receptive, and I also know the ways to reach those human beings who are still able to receive, whose heart is willing to love and who thus can also understand the Word which is given to them from above. And I let them have this knowledge by making the most unusual connections and sending My Word to wherever it will be received with a grateful heart. And there it will be passed on again, although only infrequently because worldly people have no desire for it and there are only few who can be approached. But do not forget that My Word needs to be offered with love in order to become effective, and that it requires a loving heart to receive it. Therefore any work which is performed to this end is blessed ....

And now you can understand that every small effort pleases Me if I can speak to the heart of every person Myself and My direct communication is also felt as such, just as I bless every contributor who unselfishly adds towards the circulation of My Word .... Because I truly care for everyone who works for Me, I look after him like a good caretaker so that he can pass on My Word in the same way as he has received it himself: as a gift of love .... Moreover, My Word is not merchandise, but which it will always become when unenlightened people handle it, who can neither appreciate its value nor muster the necessary understanding for it and turn it into a mass-produced commodity .... which only devalues the Word and again only reaches those who similarly do not appreciate it as My message. The circle of those who can still be impressed by it is very small and will certainly be reached by Me. Every now and then you will find a few souls but then they are also completely convinced of My love and mercy. But intending to appeal to the crowds with it is a pointless undertaking .... since people will be ever more captivated by the world and will prefer to listen to the voice of the world ....

Every spiritually enlightened human being knows how difficult it is to persuade other people to accept Words from above .... he knows that the adversary’s actions are so clearly obvious that they have no desire for a gift of love offered by My hand .... And you should also consider that it merely adds to the many publications, which are also of a spiritual nature but do not originate from Me Myself, which requires spiritual awakening in order to recognise it as ‘My Word’, but this awakening is hardly ever found any longer .... I Myself, however, know the souls to whom I can send My Word. It would not benefit your souls to know the length of time you still have at your disposal but you would be horrified to know how close you are to the end. For that reason I constantly urge the workers in My vineyard to work diligently .... each one should do his utmost, he should not tire, because everything which was and shall still be offered to people will one day follow him into eternity as rich treasure or give him comfort and strength in times of severe spiritual hardship, which is yet to come. But I Myself will be with all those who serve Me and bless their work, for it is extremely important and intended for all of those who are caught up in misleading notions and desire the truth with all their heart ....

God's address to souls in the beyond ....

B.D. 8900 from December 25th 1964, taken from Book No. 93

I want to speak to all those who want to hear Me, be it on earth or in the beyond, who should know that the Saviour came to earth for all people in order to redeem them. For none of you can become blissfully happy if you don't appeal to Me for forgiveness of your sin, and therefore you will first have to acknowledge Me as the Son of God, in Whom God Himself became a human being in order to accomplish this act of Salvation. You need to receive this knowledge while you are still on earth so that the gates to the kingdom of light can be opened for you .... If you enter the realm of the beyond still burdened by your guilt then you will need to learn over there why you should acknowledge Me in Jesus Christ, for without Him you will wander about in spiritual darkness, without Him you will be unable to see any light, without Him the gates to beatitude will remain closed for you. Compared to eternity your existence on earth is but short, and yet this time fully suffices for you to attain the light of realisation, nevertheless, you have to believe and the belief, in turn, depends on love, then you will easily gain the knowledge of why you must acknowledge Jesus Christ, you will learn to understand the reason and significance of His act of Salvation and then enter the kingdom of the beyond brightly enlightened .... Yet you humans lack love as well as faith with the result that only ever a few are able to enter the kingdom of light, whereas the gate remains closed to the others until they have recognised and accepted Him, until they turn to Him for the forgiveness of their sin, which is weighing them down and prevents them from ascending. Listen to Me, I Am bringing you the joyful good news that not one of you is lost as yet, but I must demand your faith in Me and My act of Salvation if you ever want to attain the feat of beholding the vision of God .... Listen to Me when I tell you that you once were created beings which fell away from Me but which shall return to Me again as long as you don't resist it, in which case My adversary will have no more power over you .... I came to earth in order to break his power .... and to pay the purchase price for your souls, since you once followed him of your own free will. My greater than great love defeated the adversary, and all of you shall derive the benefit from My act of Salvation .... But you yourselves must want to belong to those for whom I sacrificed My life on the cross, for I cannot redeem you against your will from his slavery, since he has the same right to you because you once followed him voluntarily.

However, you are able to release yourselves, and time and again I try to inform you of how very significant My act of Salvation is for all of you, that you have to believe in it and that you can release yourselves from the darkness in which you humans on earth as well as you souls in the beyond find yourselves in .... And you will become enlightened; just spend some time thinking about the greatest benefactor the earth has ever carried .... Consider Him and don't reject Him, for He alone can bring you deliverance, He alone takes your guilt of sin upon Himself if you appeal to Him for it .... Yet without Him you will never ever find redemption .... For even if My love for you never changes, it nevertheless cannot accept you in the kingdom of light and bliss if you are burdened by sin, because righteousness likewise belongs to perfection and this must first be satisfied in order to establish the law of eternal order again, in which every being has to exist if it wants to unite itself with Me again for eternity .... Therefore, ponder all these thought in your heart and let yourselves be taught and enlightened .... Don't walk past a source from which you can draw a refreshing drink .... Listen to what I want to say to all those who are not unwilling to pay attention, and desire more information .... and every question that moves you will be answered. Only do not reject Me, Who alone can bring you salvation, Who can change your present state into an exceedingly happy one if only you acknowledge Me Myself as the Redeemer of the world Who died for your sins too .... For I do not want you to remain wretched, it is not My will that you should suffer, I want to give you eternal life which you can never ever lose again .... However, I cannot revoke My law of eternal order, which requires you to acknowledge Me Myself in Jesus, because your past sin consisted of the fact that you denied Me this acknowledgment, and that you must therefore completely voluntarily profess Me again, Who became a visible God for you in the human being Jesus .... and Who will remain so for all eternity ....

Amen

Other-worldly souls are addressed by God ....

B.D. 8901 from December 26th 1964, taken from Book No. 93

Do not let the words from above be spoken to you in vain .... When they sound to you then open your hearts, let them find entrance and think about it, but do not reject them, for one day you will feel bitter remorse when My word itself will judge you .... For I will demand responsibility from all of you, and you will not be able to escape this responsibility .... It is an exceedingly great grace that I descend to you men in the word shortly before the end, but who appreciates this grace? You men remain attached to the world and pay no attention to that what is for the salvation of your soul. And the number of those is very small, whom I can still address, because they think more of their souls and of life after death. But this favour is offered to all of you; all of you just need to let a thought arise in you about purpose and meaning of your earth existence. And you only need to earnestly desire the truth about it .... and I will answer you, you will certainly be guided to the spring where you can receive the pure truth. But who has such thoughts, and who seriously occupies himself with life after death? But I can do no compulsion to you, because this desire must be born in you in free will, to also be able to be granted by Me. But then the right enlightenment will truly become yours, and you will always be led closer to truth, because I wait to be able to address you. But truly, there are only very few who still listen to My voice, but whom I also know to seize and lead them to the spring, from which the living water flows. But far greater is the number of souls, which can be addressed by Me through My servants in the kingdom on the other side .... those souls, which are also led there and full of desire accept the food and the drink, which I want to protect from the way back to the deep, which therefore can always only be addressed mentally .... You, My servants, must understand this right: You give them the right nourishment when you speak out My word loudly or mentally and are thereby surrounded by an endless crowd of those beings, which demand enlightenment from you and also receive it. Then you spread great blessing, and you can always be sure of My help. And these souls are around you in an immense number, and the love, which you show to them, is felt gratefully by them, because they also evaluate their knowledge again and also have an effect on men still living, to likewise win them for the word offered from above. That is why only that is always of importance, what is to be addressed as soul work .... what is brought towards them in full awareness of My divine address, because that will truly not be without effect. And I wrestle especially for these souls to protect them from a renewed banishment, and that is why I also still call many men away from earth to still give them the possibility to make up in the hereafter what they miss on earth .... who are not to be addressed on earth but absolutely must find to Jesus to be able to ascend. All of you who listen to My address or read it in your thoughts .... you are surrounded by countless souls which greedily accept My word and again and againtry to influence you to give them your spiritual knowledge which they recognize as a gift of strength and which they now use towards those who are in the same hardship as they were .... And so your activity draws wide circles, even so it is less noticed by men. Because the darkness on earth is too great, but the few sparks of light flash everywhere where a soul is found, which is responsive .... And these I certainly lead to you, so that you now also can bring My word to them ...._>Amen

Few people left to capture ....

B.D. 8902 from December 29th 1964, taken from Book No. 93

Whatever you may start, consult Me; entrust yourselves to Me with the confidence that I will take care of all your worries. Because I well know about your most secret thoughts, and still I want to be approached in a confidential dialogue for My help. Again and again I must give you the assurance that I Myself will supply you with the people to whom you are to bring My word. These are truly no empty words, which I only speak there, but you are to consider yourselves how and in which way I have opened the doors for you .... that there are also no distances with Me, that I seize all and supply them with My word, who let themselves be seized. And even if the circle seems small in number .... you do not know how My word has an effect and gives strength to the people addressed and also to the souls in the beyond, whose number is immense .... thus the work of salvation in the kingdom of the beyond is still far greater than on earth .... And you are to be content with it and also know that I will always seize new souls to whom you are to offer My gift from above. But do not believe that you will achieve greater successes where your own will to love is not at work, that you use yourselves with all your heart and with all your soul for the spreading of My word .... Worldly men, as they are now, are no longer to be won over; they will always oppose rejection, and all who make an effort to pass on the word, which they receive .... will meet with resistance .... Therefore only work done in pure love is still promising success, because My blessing rests on such work. As soon as people who are of an unawakened spirit set to work, My word also loses its strength, for love must hand it out and love must receive it ..... Exactly the unselfishness of the co-workers gives you guarantee that I Myself am with them and that I also allow no error because this is the work of the opponent, but the opponent cannot be where no selfish thought grants him shelter. (29.12.1964) And so the opponent is put out of action because man fights with the weapon of love as soon as he unselfishly supports his neighbour. And against love he is powerless. You could therefore easily gain the upper hand when you always consider this, when you are always filled with unselfish neighbourly love, which is a source of power for yourselves, and you will also no longer need to fear weakness, because everything is then right what you undertake, then you fulfil My will, and you can only be active for the blessing of fellowmen ...._>Amen

Enlightenment about light beings ....

B.D. 8903 from December 31th 1964, taken from Book No. 93

I know it, which questions are raised by you men and I want to answer all those who earnestly desire the truth .... The degree of light is completely different in which men leave earth life, provided that they have found redemption through Jesus Christ. And depending on the degree of light is also the degree of knowledge, which is after all the effect of the divine love-light .... The souls, which can only show a small degree of light, are only able to pass on a small knowledge, but which corresponds to truth. The soul can therefore only impart to the souls still staying in darkness what helps them for the beginning to take the way to Jesus Christ. But the soul, which once has entered the kingdom of light, will not be satisfied with only a weak ray of light .... it will acquire ever brighter light for itself through loving activity on the suffering souls, which it will also constantly receive, for My word also constantly sounds in the areas where I am conscious souls stay, which will receive according to their desire. And so in the hereafter this activity is a truly happy one, because every soul, which has found redemption through Jesus Christ, will also constantly increase its love towards Him and now take part in the work of redemption, for which opportunity is constantly offered to it. I always speak of those souls whose degree of light is not yet so high, but which could enter the kingdom of light through the redemption of Jesus Christ. But endless many stages there are, and the highest degree, which you men can certainly also reach on earth, is the degree of childship to God, which is certainly difficult, but not impossible to reach. You can now imagine that the love radiation of such a child of God is so powerful that one can rightly speak of 'My child', which can create and shape in most intimate connection with Me according to its will, which is now also Mine. All of you can reach this aim, yet only a few will strive for the highest degree of light, but then they will also be able to draw the strength directly from Me and pass it on. And from them infinite many light beings are fed with light. (31.12.1964) But the souls are according to their degree of maturity quite differently receptive, and therefore they can just as differently radiate the truth .... the light .... further. But that they stand in the light, therefore are in possession of pure truth and cannot teach the other souls wrongly, that is the privilege of those who have found redemption, otherwise they would still be in darkness of spirit or in a state of twilight. They must therefore have previously acknowledged Jesus as God's Son and redeemer of the world, in Whom God embodied Himself. Every soul must fulfil this condition to have entered the kingdom of light. And that is why those souls who want to be active in redemption are expected to fulfil this condition, no matter in which degree of light they stand .... the work of salvation will always be emphasized as a matter of priority in order to lead every soul to Him, because it cannot find redemption otherwise. It is always the work of redemption, the reference to the divine redeemer, which is to help the souls out of darkness to find their way out of their unhappy state, and a small glimmer of knowledge will now shine for them as soon as they deal with it, because the sign of the cross will also flash up for them, which confirms to them the rightness of that what the beings of light announce to them .... But that every being of light possesses the knowledge about it has to be emphasized because otherwise it would not have entered the kingdom of light .... And the fact that it passes this knowledge on to those who still walk in darkness is likewise undeniable .... But how then would messages from the hereafter be to be explained, which do not have that enormous work of redemption as content? Here also a light must be given to you, for you do not know how many beings claim a teaching office for themselves, whose will is not hindered by Me .... These are the souls, which already on earth were active in teaching, whose degree of love certainly put them into a brighter state, which therefore now want to further express themselves according to the teaching represented on earth .... but which themselves have not yet found redemption because they did not believe in it. And there are very many of them whom I can neither let pass away in darkness nor in twilight because they lived their life on earth according to their best conscience, but who also in the kingdom of the beyond do not abandon their teaching activity, who only always divest themselves of their knowledge, but which still has a very small measure and deviates considerably from truth .... who only see a human being in supreme perfection in Jesus but don't recognize His mission and therefore don't influence their listeners either to imagine Him as the shell of the supreme spirit of God of infinity .... who therefore cannot yet stand in supreme knowledge because they have not yet found redemption through Him .... Just as the word of God was offered to them on earth, just as they themselves understood it, so they also pass it on, but always again to such souls who arrive over there in the same condition, who only expect a confirmation of what they themselves represented on earth. These are the 'masters' who all believe to stand on a high level, who also led an irreproachable way of life on earth, but who themselves resisted the thought that God Himself should have embodied Himself in a human being .... and who did not ask Me in all simplicity of heart for the supply of truth. With their error they now enter the kingdom on the other side and from there also still seek to instruct men, and these will mostly be such souls, which represent the views of the religions known to them according to their own attitude towards it. If they had kindled their love on earth to a bright flame their thoughts would also have been enlightened .... They truly would have recognized Jesus' mission .... but since love was only weak they could not find illumination of spirit, but I also could not let them pass over in such wretchedness as those souls who end their earthly life completely loveless. And so the most different degrees of light in the hereafter are determining for the handing out of purest truth .... of knowledge, which again puts all of you into the state, in which you stood in the beginning. And this knowledge experiences its crowning with the knowledge about the work of redemption of Jesus Christ, which all those will experience as present, who have found full redemption and are therefore immeasurably happy ...._>Amen

(Continued from No. 8903) Enlightenment on light beings ....

B.D. 8904 from January 1st 1965, taken from Book No. 93

I will introduce you to the truth, as I have promised you .... But you must also believe Me unconditionally that I .... as the eternal truth Itself .... cannot teach you anything but the right way. You are still often taken captive by error, and that especially then when you believe to be instructed out of the world of spirits .... and if you now accept everything without hesitation .... This world .... i.e. its inhabitants .... also have their freedom, which is respected until they themselves think better of it. And they therefore build up a thought building for themselves, from which they do not want to depart. And I therefore cannot do compulsion to them because also the will of those gives them a foundation who let themselves be taught by them without the desire to only experience purest truth. They believe everything without hesitation what is supplied to them. Since I therefore make the supply of truth dependent on the desire of man for it, but on the other hand do not curtail the will and also these communications are partial truth, then man only needs to connect himself intimately with Me before, and I will let him recognize where error has crept in. Because it is the same in the kingdom on the other side as on earth: Every soul creates the surroundings for itself as it wishes and has that what it strove for in earth life. But the number of those who do not see in Jesus the redeemer of men is exceedingly great, but the circle of those will always separate, who have lived right and just in earth life, but still could not find a right answer to the question about Jesus, because they did not think about it, because they looked at Him as a high standing man, therefore always only paid more or less attention to the teachings of their church, but who themselves knew no right explanation and just did not want to believe the incarnation of God in Jesus and therefore also found no redemption from their original sin. This spiritual world is to be found in the majority, but it also cannot be called completely faithless, only its train of thought is wrongly directed. And these souls are inclined to accept the teachings, which are offered to them by those who already had a teaching activity on earth. Since they do not want to be active against My will, I let them, although they lack the deepest knowledge, although they can always only teach the other souls as far as their knowledge reaches. Hence they are not filled by My spirit, which introduces them to all deeper knowledge and cannot be so either, because the awakening of the spirit is the result of the redemption from their original sin .... Therefore it is also not possible for them to instruct the souls about the incarnation of God in Jesus. The state of those souls is always the same and will also not change unless a higher being of light enters amongst these teachers, but whose knowledge is not readily accepted .... Again the deep desire belongs to it, to stand in truth, but which in those .... since they believe they possess the truth .... does not break through. And nevertheless I allow the activity of the teachers to also help those to knowledge of the gospel who are willing to love and then, according to their own attitude towards truth, want to experience the reason and meaning of the work of redemption and direct the request for forgiveness of their guilt of sin to Jesus Christ .... And then they are also further introduced into the right knowledge .... Where love is strong and redemption has not yet gone ahead, there love will triumph and very soon the knowledge about the human being Jesus .... in Whom God Himself embodied Himself .... will be the consequence of this and thus also the redemption from all guilt .... But as long as no instructions are given about it, knowledge is also not yet available, because this is only the result of the redemption which has taken place, because only then all connections are light and clear and then it can also be made use of in the right way ...._>Amen

(Continuation to No. 8903 and 8904) Enlightenment about light beings ....

B.D. 8905 from January 2nd 1965, taken from Book No. 93

You must therefore now understand that I first assess the degree of love, that therefore love can also earn the souls a light, but that they are not yet to be addressed as light beings, which stand in fullest knowledge. Because redemption through Jesus Christ absolutely belongs to it. When you now consider how men now stand towards Jesus, how the attitude towards Him is in itself and how many, who accept Him and believe in His existence, exactly behave towards the "redemption", that they therefore enter eternity in unredeemed state, then it will also be understandable to you that these souls are not surrounded by darkness but that they also always walk along in wrong thinking, especially since they are therefore taught by those who lack knowledge themselves and are also not easily convinced of the actual mission of the man Jesus. But I also cannot touch free will in that kingdom, but also there many souls separate, which are not satisfied with the instructions, because My word also penetrates to those, who are willing to accept it. And so these also attain knowledge of the divine redeemer, to whom they only need to devote themselves to attain forgiveness of their original sin and therefore to now be able to enter the kingdom of light and happiness .... The teachings from that kingdom to earth are therefore allowed because men are led to the knowledge about Him .... because now also again the own will belongs to it, to think for oneself and to approach Me for right thinking .... So again and again the possibility is given to man to ask Me Myself for pure truth, and this request will also be granted. The teachers in the beyond are only still lacking a small light, and if they would accept it when it is offered to them they would also be free from original sin, which still keeps their spirit darkened, although they already stood in a certain knowledge on earth because of their degree of love, but no-one can become happy who does not acknowledge Jesus Christ as redeemer of the world, in Whom God Himself became man .... Therefore, anyone who acknowledges those messages from the world of spirits as the ultimate truth will also be accepted into this world but nevertheless will not enter the 'kingdom of light', to which alone Jesus Christ is the gate .... For then all sins are forgiven him, if he carries them to Him under the cross with full faith .... And this is to happen already on earth, to now also not need to go through those places, where the souls themselves have to pay off their guilt .... But the great original guilt still burdens all souls and does not let them come to the recognition of truth, unless a soul of light takes care of them .... but which is also rarely only recognized as such and therefore its enlightenments are not accepted .... Nevertheless, enlightenment also comes to them abruptly when they also voluntarily open their hearts to My word, which resounds everywhere where hearts do not close themselves .... when they themselves begin to doubt what they have taught up to now .... Then the moment has also come where the soul hands itself over to Him and its redemption can now take place. And then the soul will truly be in the kingdom of light and beatitude, and from there it will have an effect on all those souls to whom it has neglected to explain the most important thing: that Jesus Christ came into the world to redeem people from all guilt, and that God Himself therefore embodied Himself in the man Jesus, because only 'eternal love' could redeem such guilt which was directed against love Itself ...._>Amen

Losing followers ....

B.D. 8906 from January 4th 1965, taken from Book No. 93

In the coming time you will still have to withstand many challenges, because the adversary's work increases; he sets all powers in motion, which are to hinder you in the vineyard work. But My power is always at your disposal, and your will will also request it; you will be able to resist them, because this work is above everything for you and because I grant you every protection. And it will be noticeable that many will turn away, whom you thought to have won already .... a splintering will start especially in those circles, which you regard as loyal followers. But this is the work of the adversary, but which is not to cause you to slacken in the vineyard work. For they all have to pass tests of faith, and they often fail .... And such a test of faith is when an obvious error is explained to them as such, when it is substantiated and they now have to decide what they want to believe. Wherever the opponent can creep in, there he does it, and only the deep desire for what is true and right can protect you from getting into his fishing nets. But I tell you this already before so that you are armed and experience no disappointment. Do not let yourselves waver in faith but know that these are always only those who are still lukewarm in faith, who have no earnest desire to know the sole truth, who have not recognized the work of the opponent because every man has to check the spiritual good, and he can also do this with My support. He cannot unconditionally accept something as truth, what is visibly work of the opponent. Because no matter whether truth again and again radiates down to earth, I cannot and will not prevent it that also he wants to express himself when opportunity is offered to him. Because it is his right to also fight for your souls. But every individual only needs to ask Me for enlightenment of the spirit, then he will also recognize it when the counter spirit has switched on, because I truly do not let this one fall prey to error. You all only need to desire truth in all seriousness to now also certainly receive it. And you should be grateful when I draw your attention to an error, which gives you a distorted picture of Me and My most perfect nature. You are after all interested in truth, or do you want to go along in error? The adversary puts tremendous fetters around you, but you can loosen them yourselves by establishing the intimate bond with Me and asking Me for enlightenment of the spirit. And when you send this request up to Me out of deepest heart, then you will recognize My nature completely brightly and clearly and reject every distortion of the image of Me. But you, My servants on earth, are not to be disturbed by it, if you also lose attachment, because you only speak on My behalf; you pass on purest truth, which you receive from Me Myself and which I also can protect from error, because you approach Me for it. I know it that it is a hard test of faith, which you must pass, you who represent this false doctrine. But I first had to give you proof of the credibility of My revelations before I raised this problem .... But you can also accept this revelation as pure truth .... And if you just think about it in all sobriety, then this solution must be more probable for you, and it is also, as soon as you desire to recognize in Me the most perfect being, Which can no longer be surpassed. The opponent will still spread much error to catch men, and less and less will this be recognized, because the number of those is very small, who only strive for pure truth. That is why it is also difficult to penetrate with truth. And only those will be prepared to accept it who unite with Me Myself in intimate prayer and whose spirit I therefore can enlighten. But these will defend truth and well be considered as opponents of him who once received My word .... But you will also have to take this upon yourselves if you want to serve Me loyally, for I alone can guide you into truth, as I have promised .... I alone can correct erroneous teachings which again and again are put into the world by My adversary in order to confuse people ...._>Amen

Soliciting vineyard workers ....

B.D. 8907 from January 7th 1965, taken from Book No. 93

My word is offered to you from above, and you are to do everything to spread it. You are not to leave the gifts unused, which I let flow to you abundantly; you are to know that you can help many souls with it to find the way toMe, and that I bless every activity on your part, which applies to this spreading. For the adversity is great, and there are only a few who want to free themselves from it, who know that I must bring them help in order to become free. The end approaches closer and closer, the lack of faith increases more and more, and the wrestling on the part of the adversary becomes more and more violent. But also My favour is exceedingly great, and no man, who is still of good will, remains untouched by this flow of favour. All who are still responsive are to be supplied with My word, and that is why you, My vineyard workers, are to do busy work; you are to know that you carry out everything with My support, that I will assess the will of every worker and bless his doing; you are to know that I direct all threads so as it is favourable for your work, and you will earn great merits for yourselves, which follow you into eternity .... But you all no longer have much time, and that is why increased activity is required, because it is about the rescue of still so many a soul, which you protect from the lot of the new banishment. And when it is just one soul, which you spare the walk through creation, it will thank you eternally. But I will still open many doors for you, through which you can enter, to hand the souls the bread of heaven, the water of life, which they need, if they want to have the power to hold out until the end. For My word is truly the right nourishment for the soul .... it is My flesh and My blood .... it is the best medicine which lets a sick soul recover. It will receive strength to be able to fulfil its task in life. If only it does not pass by the source of favour, which you open up to My love, then it will also certainly find strengthening through you, who spread My word and let it take part. It is exceedingly important that men experience truth, because only such you pass on to them, because I can guide nothing else than truth to earth. But you must strictly keep to My word; you are not allowed to change it yourselves or to seek to improve it, if you do not want to endanger and deform it, because then it loses power and effect. Let Me Myself be present at your work and ask Me for My blessing, which I will truly not deny you .... I follow every work of you, and I rejoice when this is meant for Me and the spreading of My word, because only through truth alone you reach the aim and unite again with Me. But so much error is spread in the world that you have to fight against it, what you can only achieve through the spreading of truth. And no-one is to think that he is not welcome to Me as My servant; everyone is to use his power who carries Me in the heart, then also his service will be welcome to Me. And I will bless his work for Me, as I have promised you ...._>Amen

Task ....

B.D. 8908 from January 9th 1965, taken from Book No. 93

You still have to accomplish an important task before My intervention occurs, on account of which you will be placed into entirely different circumstances which will make your work for My kingdom more difficult. Yet, prior to this, souls which do not oppose My Word shall still be reached .... they shall learn what is about to happen to humanity even if they doubt it .... the huge event will very soon convince them that you have told the truth. Therefore make it known it to everyone, inform them of this intervention which is coming ever closer and will affect everyone, although the affected country will still remain hidden to you .... I appeal to you to tell all people, to whom you take My Word, about the indication of the immense natural disaster .... It will be necessary for all of them to think about it for once, to feel directly spoken to and, depending on their attitude, be able to draw comfort and strength in the forthcoming time of need. Wherever My Word is proclaimed people shall be informed of it, people everywhere shall be told what is about to happen to them, even if they find it difficult to believe ....

But when the said event takes place, which will come from above .... from the cosmos, which therefore will not have been caused by human will, then they will also believe in the closely following end. For I want to speak to people just once more through this disaster, I want to awaken them from their sleep of death and direct their eyes towards Me, towards the One Whom they can reach through heartfelt prayer .... I want to speak with a loud voice because they pay no attention to My gentle Words .... But I will also take care of those who then still find Me .... And even if they fall victim to the disaster, yet their souls will be saved if they still call upon Me and acknowledge Me as the Power to Which they are subject and have to bow down to. I call on all of you to mention My Words and not to fear that you might worry people, for it is of no avail if they walk blindly into the disaster, which will then take them by surprise and they will be unable to find an explanation for it .... If, however, you tell them in advance what I intend to achieve by it .... if you announce it as certain, then some of them will feel affected by it and .... even if they don't believe it .... will not forget about it. And then they will already know that it is an event which was sent by My will over humanity, and they will know that My Word is truth and thus also believe in the end .... Every attempt has to be made to lead people to believe. And this huge natural disaster, too, can still awaken faith in people who are otherwise no longer approachable and whom I nevertheless still want to win over for Me, even if it is in connection with a great calamity.

However, you are facing the danger of renewed banishment, and if I can still pull souls away from it they will be eternally grateful to Me, for the fate of renewed banishment is far more horrendous .... it will last for eternities, whereas the natural disaster will be over within a night; and although it will be followed by enormous misery every one of you will nevertheless be able to change it into a bearable situation, if only you muster faith in Me. For I Am Lord over life and death, I can also give to you what you need .... just as I can take from you what you are unwilling to surrender voluntarily. And therefore, don't fail to inform your fellow human beings about the forthcoming event, for no one shall say that he didn't know of it .... Only, people will not believe that they are so close to the end, otherwise they would also be able to gather from the Scriptures that a catastrophic event will befall humanity .... But they believe that the time has not yet come when what is written will be fulfilled .... Yet one day the future will become the present, one day the announcements will come true, and this time is close at hand ....

Amen

Lorber ....

B.D. 8909 from January 10th 1965, taken from Book No. 93

You need not doubt the spiritual knowledge which you receive from Me, for I do not content Myself by merely making statements to you but I substantiate everything, and that also has to convince you that you are taught the truth. Yet I know that you will meet with resistance and this will persuade Me to provide you with proof, as I have done before (Gottfried Mayerhofer) by referring you to a different explanation which concerns the same problem. And through this scribe of Mine you will receive illumination .... (Secrets of Creation, page 91). Precisely because you are living in the last days I Am giving you the purest truth, which you can pass on without hesitation, pointing out that nothing will remain unchanged once it comes into possession of people who are not yet perfect themselves .... And you can believe that this work (J. Lorber) has also experienced changes and therefore has no longer remained pure .... Besides, My servant J. Lorber, too, was just a human being who was able to err and has erred whenever his intellect tried to solve a problem by itself, for then My adversary was able to influence his mind .... Admittedly, he enjoyed My protection, and he truly left the kind of knowledge to the world which certainly entitles him to be called the greatest seer and prophet .... yet I had to leave him his free will, which was the only reason why the adversary was able to interfere .... otherwise an obvious contradiction such as the description of My Nature, that all opposites are present within Me .... could not have happened. Yet I will not deny My protection to any Word-recipient who genuinely struggles to gain the right understanding, who only ever wants to know and spread the pure truth. And that should suffice you and strengthen you in the battle against error, for I will walk with you and also still let you find the evidence of your correct thinking ....

Amen

Good and evil .... Eternal law ....

B.D. 8910 from January 12th 1965, taken from Book No. 93

I also want to give you an explanation regarding this, for even the smallest doubt will prevent you from correcting the notion that evil was placed into the being by Me. I did not create evil but I have known since eternity that evil would prevail in the world of the fallen spirits .... I have known since eternity that I would be regarded as the source of evil because I have always known what lies My adversary would use in the fight against Me in order to prevent the return to Me .... But time and again I will give people the information which will enlighten them about My nature. And time and again bearers of light from above will also descend to earth in order to clarify precisely this notion ....

My nature is eternally good, It is incapable of ever transferring an evil thought onto Its created beings. This has to be said first of all, so that you yourselves will not assume that you were created by Me with all bad characteristic and longings. You were very intimately connected to Me for an endlessly long time and in this state did not know anything anti-divine, you were with Me in heart and soul (of the same will), which enabled you to receive My strength of love unimpeded and thereby you were infinitely happy.

But when My first-created spirit .... Lucifer or the bearer of light .... fell away from Me and thus all of you had to take the test of will and choose which Lord to follow .... when you had to make the right decision of your own free will .... you also had to be able to choose between good and evil, you had to know that evil came from My adversary, whereas only good thoughts could flow from Me to you. Hence I gave you light .... the ability to differentiate between good and evil, and in this bright light you could have recognised the source of evil. I indeed put up with evil because it was necessary for your test of will, but I never approved of it .... Consequently, the being also had to be able to satisfy a longing if it wanted it albeit it was an evil one .... just as longing had to be inside the being for the purpose of being good, which has to be understood such that any longing can evolve, otherwise a decision could not be possible.

But the fact that the fallen beings only wanted to satisfy evil longings was not because they possessed this longing from the start, rather My present adversary had first transferred this longing onto his followers. Thus the being had to be able to experience every feeling, it must be able to arouse longings within itself, yet these longings need not have originated from Me .... which is always the case when these longings are bad .... just as every non-fallen being has a longing which only turns towards good ....

Thus use the word 'desire' instead of 'longing' .... which is in fact the same, and you will understand that every feeling within the being originates from Me but that the direction it takes is determined by every being itself .... Therefore you should come to Me with every doubt, with every question, and I will not leave your soul in distress, I will enlighten you, so that you, who should uphold the truth given to you from above, will also be convinced of the truth yourselves .... For it is essential to rectify many more misconceptions even if you believe to have the truth, for nothing that is given to still imperfect human beings stays unchanged, no matter how pure it originated from above ....

Therefore I reveal Myself time and again anew in order to send the pure truth to earth, and therefore you can also accept everything without hesitation if you seriously examine it, for the pure truth from Me has to have the effect that it will be recognised by those who receive it in the sincere desire for truth ....

Amen

Task of the vineyard workers ....

B.D. 8911 from January 13th 1965, taken from Book No. 93

You will be given instructions from the spiritual world, which you can well recognize as coming from Me, if your hearts do not close themselves to truth, if the desire for truth is predominant in your thoughts. Then you will not feel the slightest doubt and also openly stand up for what has gone out of the kingdom of light. But then you also have the duty to spread this spiritual good, because you must always consider that the world still lies in darkness .... that error has gained the upper hand, against which you must take up arms. You will be granted an exceedingly great grace that you can penetrate the secrets of creation, that you will be given a light about yourselves, about your purpose of existence and everything that is around you in nature .... You will be given information about My reign and activity and especially about the act of salvation of Jesus Christ .... All correlations will be explained to you so that you can no longer regard yourselves as a random product of a creator's whim but know that nothing is without meaning and purpose, that you too are to reach the final aim which was set for you from the very beginning. And if you now likewise inform your fellow human beings of this, then you thereby do Me a great service, because not every man is able to hear My voice directly, but he also is to know it, why he is on earth .... he should know what he has been and what tasks I set him so that he reaches his aim. But he must be of good will and let himself be taught by you, because against the will I force no man to accept My word .... And so you also have to give him knowledge that he has free will and that he is to use it right. You are also to inform him about the importance of the love commandments and just seek to have an effect on him completely in My will, which is announced to you with every supply of My word .... You are to feel so connected to Me Myself that you are therefore now active on My behalf, always inwardly driven by Me to it and out of love towards the fellow human being to whom you communicate. And My blessing will rest on you because everything what you now undertake helps to bring back to Me the souls, which I once lost to My opponent, but which I will wrest from him, and when eternal times are necessary for it. But that this time is reduced, that is why I need you .... that you already now help to redeem the souls, that is My plan, which finds its reason in it that one redemption epoch completes itself, that again a new one begins and I want to prevent it that the souls fail and again have to start the course through the earth creations anew .... That is why I give you all knowledge of your long way of development before; I seek to awaken the feeling of responsibility in all souls through this knowledge, which certainly cannot be proven to them, but which nevertheless should make them think .... Precisely this terrible fate, to be again newly conceived into matter, determines Me to enlightenment, which no being but Me can give to you .... I let you take a look into My plan of salvation from eternity, and I give you knowledge, which fate you are facing, because you are in the time before the end of this redemption epoch, but you can also still turn back, if you believe what I speak to you .... if you just ask Me for favour, which then will also certainly be given to you .... If you are of the will to do what I demand of you, if you just pay attention to My commandments and fulfil them, then you will brightly recognize that My words are truth, and you will now pass on your knowledge .... For truth must break through; it will also be recognized by everyone who is of good will, for he will believe in a God and creator out of Whose power he has emerged, and where this faith is still present there it will be easy to supply him with the evidence that this God and creator wants to reveal Himself as father, and he will listen to His revelations, and then he is rescued for time and eternity ...._>Amen

Question: blood transfusion ....

B.D. 8912 from January 14th 1965, taken from Book No. 93

This is a special question which you want to have answered .... And I must give you this answer so that you understand it, that you do not get the wrong idea, because it is about the rescue of human life. The endeavour of a man will always be to rescue the other out of a trouble, and what therefore has neighbourly love as prerequisite, cannot be approved of otherwise. Often a human life depends on it, and what is now done to rescue this one will also be blessed by Me. Then also My wisdom will know to prevent it that the soul is burdened with immature substances .... And the human being can be reassured that his further course of development will be endangered by this .... But the danger exists that a man is still more hindered to work on his soul through blood transfusion of still completely immature substances, if he was already worldly orientated before, and he is then additionally burdened through such transfusion .... but also reversed he can now go to the soul work with increased will, and in both cases then also My wisdom speaks with, because the former can just as well take the way to Me through his suffering, and he can now bring the soul substances to maturity. He only has to muster an increased will, what is possible for every spiritual striving man, because he can take his way to Me and is to intimately ask Me that I may bless this blood transfusion, so that it does not do him harm. As long as it is about the rescue of human life, as long as I do not end the life of a man Myself, also such means are allowed, which are to save the man out of neighbourly love from a premature end .... And if it is now My will that life should be preserved, then he will escape with his life .... But in the other case even the most effective antidotes are of no use (nothing = ed) .... if life is to be ended by Me .... If every man could establish the bond with Me before that he approaches Me Myself for My blessing, then he could apply everything without hesitation, he would take no harm to his soul, but still contribute to the purification of the substances, which additionally burden him .... And since you now know that you should also help the body to spiritualization, since you know that also everything that belongs to the body is also belonging to a fallen original spirit, which still wants to embody itself, and you therefore help this and it has an all the easier earth course, then it is just only up to the spiritual attitude of man to therefore strive for the spiritualization of body and soul .... Who does not have this attitude towards the purpose of earth life, for him it is trivial whether and how many unspiritual substances in him wait for redemption, and for him the knowledge about it is worthless .... if only he does not lose his life, which is always only turned towards the world ...._>Amen

About the origin of evil ....

B.D. 8913 from January 17th 1965, taken from Book No. 93

Surely you don't believe that I will instruct you wrongly if you so sincerely appeal to Me for truth. Remember My Words 'If you, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children .... how much more shall I give My spirit to them that ask Me? ....' Hence you do not write down your own thoughts but they are given to you by My spirit, and always in a way so that you can also understand the meaning, so that you need not fear that you are being misled. The information you receive from above has to be clear and understandable for everyone, it must not include contradictions and completely openly describe My nature so that not even the slightest doubt will arise in you .... You, who live on earth as a human being, are the spiritual beings which once fell away from Me .... Your thinking became confused due to your apostasy from Me, you accepted all evil characteristics from My adversary .... Your nature became ungodly, thus it was in contradiction to Mine .... These ungodly qualities had to be eliminated from you again, which was achieved by the infinitely long path through the creations. Hence you had already attained a certain degree of maturity when you were allowed to incarnate on earth. But then, in your state of awareness, you also realised .... with good will .... your great distance from Me and therefore had to overcome your bad characteristics yourselves which, however, I Myself had not implanted in you but which, as a result of your apostasy from Me through My adversary's influence, were still inherent in you .... you had to bear the consequences since you voluntarily accepted that which is evil from My adversary .... This truth will irrevocably remain .... I Myself certainly created you such that you were able to feel what was good and what was bad .... I Myself created you such that you were able to desire good as well as bad .... But I did not compel you to accept evil within yourselves, nevertheless you desired it with the result that you still incorporate all evil instincts within yourselves in earthly life which My adversary once transferred onto you, and that you have to fight against and finally prevail over them .... You cannot assume that I Myself was the origin of evil, otherwise you would have to regard the whole plan of Salvation as a defective piece of work although it was, in fact, a work of supreme perfection. At no time ever can something originate from Me which I classify as a sin against Me. Consequently, if you have sinned you must have violated My law of eternal order and you must .... as far it is possible for you .... atone for your sin in earthly life yourselves. But you can never say that I Myself created you the way you are now as a human being .... if you refer to the flaws and vices you have to fight against. This contradiction is so obvious that you should have recognised it as such and rejected it. Indeed, I created the human being but the essence is the soul which was already able to repel many ungodly qualities during the infinitely long process before. It is the once fallen original spirit which still has to bear the consequences of its apostasy until it is redeemed from its original sin, but which nevertheless has to deal with the cravings My adversary implanted in it in order to completely unite itself with Me, its Father of eternity, from Whom it once emerged in a supremely perfect state .... My Word from above is truly given to you such that it is comprehensible to you, and nothing else is expected of you other than that you accept it as truth .... Yet I wisely left the scribe in ignorance of the Scriptures so as not to cloud his perception and only to transcribe that which I consider of great significant in view of the end, because precisely these questions will be the cause of heated discussions. However, it should not be underestimated that people rather choose to believe in a supremely perfect God and that every virtuous person feels repulsed to imagine God as the bearer of evil too.

The point is that I don't want to gain worldly scholars but those who are of good will. But how can the many quotations be explained from which the reader derives the impression that I Myself can be compared with evil .... This is a satanic question and an opportunity where he can most easily slip in .... and the human being's will only too gladly fits in with his will .... No one else is better suited to being of assistance to him than My John when Satan asked him the same question .... (Bishop Martin, chapter 197-198) And thus My John will now get to work by igniting a bright light for you which no-one will be able to extinguish. He will explain the contradiction to you which, however, is no contradiction .... All His beings emerged from God, therefore he did too, the greatest and most powerful spirit, whom He created for Himself in order to possess a mirror image of Himself into which He was able to constantly radiate His strength of love and which was also returned. Hence He created an image of Himself which He endowed with all abilities so that there was no difference between Him and the created work other than the fact that He Himself was the source of strength but His creation was the recipient of strength. Therefore the first-created spirit .... Lucifer or the bearer of light .... was also 'emanated strength' which was externalised by God as the first visible being and which afterwards also remained visible for all successive beings until his fall. However, it was not yet God's opposite pole, for it neither possessed anti-divine characteristics nor anti-divine feelings, instead it was aglow with burning love for Him sharing the same will as God's will. Here, too, satanic cunning is instantly recognizable: the fact that he transfers the moment of apostasy from God to the act of creation in order to portray God as being responsible and himself as being 'created in this way'. After all, think about this seriously: How can an opposite spirit to God .... hence one which is different from God Himself .... not be called anti-divine? In other words, how can a true opposite .... thus being different than God Himself .... not be called ungodly? Lucifer only became His opposing spirit after an incredibly long time .... when, motivated by the host of created original spirits, he began to change his will and thinking capacity.

Yet this infinitely long act of beatitude preceded his apostasy and these ungodly characteristics emerged out of him, and it was not that God had placed them into the created being, which could only have been created as God's mirror image .... This advice, too, was necessary in order to provide utter clarification that it was not God Who was the source of sin and that, without any doubt whatsoever, His works emerged from His love and therefore could not have been anything else but perfect .... i.e. good in supreme perfection. You must be able to understand the revelations from above, or you must assume that you are already externally influenced if something incomprehensible is offered to you. For God conveys His Word to Earth in order to enlighten you, and only where you really receive light will you also be able to recognise God Himself as the source, but then you will also know for certain that you are living in truth .... because He will not leave those in spiritual darkness who entrust themselves to Him and appeal to Him to receive the truth ....

Amen

Risk of error ....

B.D. 8914 from January 18th 1965, taken from Book No. 93

Again and again you are fed with the bread of heaven and watered with the water of life, and you never address this request to Me in vain when I find you prepared and able to receive My word. Then the stream of blessing flows down upon you unceasingly, and it gives you refreshment at any time. This source of favour is made accessible to you, you who walk over earth in the last time before the end, because much disaster still awaits you, where you need strengthening. And that I will supply it to you, that is certain, because I still want to keep the small flock together for Me; I still want to seize the few, who desire Me, and present to them the right food for their souls, so that they hold out until the end. That is why I also again and again emphasize that you must walk in truth, that truth alone leads to Me and that you can only become happy through truth. When I therefore point out to men through you the error, which has crept in everywhere and the correction of which I let Myself be concerned about, then you can also be completely sure that this is necessary for the salvation of all of you, because you do not know which means My opponent uses to lead you away from Me. This battle between light and darkness has already lasted for eternities, darkness covers the earth especially in the last days, and again and againI let sparks of light flash to break through the darkness in order to show you the path which My adversary has already completely shrouded in darkness .... And every error is a shadow that falls on the way; every error has to be cleared away to have a clear view on the way up. That is why I am so eager to make the danger of error clear to you men that you do not fall into it. The whole building of your faith is undermined, because as soon as it is built up on false doctrine it collapses as soon as this false doctrine is recognized as untenable. That is why I seek to guide truth everywhere, and I give reasons for everything, for no man should accept anything unchecked, but My reasons prove My love, wisdom and power .... My reasons allow right thinking, and man knows that and when he has gone astray. And his good will will detach itself from error and accept the sole truth because every error is a danger for the soul. And who earnestly serves Me, he also makes himself available as spreading of truth. And he never ever needs to fear to do something against My will, because I gladly make use of his services when it is necessary to openly fight against the lie, which is a visible sign of the work of My opponent ...._>Amen

The vineyard labourers' duty is to take action against error ....

B.D. 8915 from January 22nd 1965, taken from Book No. 93

Your task is to stand up for the truth you receive from Me. If I inform you of things which are erroneously presented otherwise you are duty bound to support the imparted spiritual knowledge and not quietly tolerate it if you are being opposed by misconceptions. I emanate the light of truth to earth precisely because I want to invalidate falsehood and error, since they are a danger to people if they continue to be ignored and thus exist side by side with the truth. Try to understand that it is not irrelevant whether the truth is bestowed upon you or not, try to understand that you cannot find the path to Me with an error and that you will have to discard it .... if not on earth then in the kingdom of the beyond .... and as long as you do not know the complete truth there cannot be any bliss for you. Therefore I also require fighters who always highlight the truth, who do not shy away from informing their fellow human beings of their knowledge, so that everyone can chose between error and truth .... You don't know how much error exists in the world, but I know and therefore cannot tacitly tolerate it. But since I do not compel any person into accepting the truth I can only educate fighters for Myself who will speak on My behalf and also fight against error where it becomes distinctly evident .... For as a rule it hides behind a mask which conceals My adversary ....

The greatest evil consists of the fact that he works in the same way in order to extinguish Me and My light .... This is why it cannot be fought rigorously enough, and anyone who knows himself to own the pure truth should always uphold it, because he receives a most important gift of grace which makes his battle considerably easier, for he can substantiate everything and need not be afraid that My adversary will be superior to him, for faced by the light he will always give up the struggle. And I give you light in abundance so that you can easily recognise the origin of the spiritual knowledge which opposes the light from above. And thus you must not tacitly tolerate it, for that which opposes the truth is a lie, and I declare war on untruth. People don't know in what mass of misguided spiritual information they live. And anyone who cannot free himself from it on the basis of the pure truth conveyed to him will be burdened by it on entering the kingdom of the beyond, unless his degree of love will assure him instant realisation, yet in that case he will already be able to recognise the error in his earthly life and dismiss everything that does not correspond to the truth. For love enlightens him and he will instinctively refuse to accept wrong spiritual knowledge. The closer it gets to the end the more supposed 'Word-recipients' will show up, and they will all want to spread their wrong messages, and then it is important to differentiate between the spirits, for they will include truly satanic messengers who work on instruction of the one who wants to corrupt the world and tries to completely prevent people's path of return to Me. But you, who want to serve Me, will recognise them and know what to make of these messages. You should never accept these messages for the sake of tolerance, for anyone who does not fight against falsehood allows himself to be ensnared by it, it will confuse his thinking and he will no longer be able to recognise the pure truth. And it is My adversary's intention to also create spiritual confusion in those who want to separate themselves from him in order to get control over them again .... For no means is too evil and no cunning too despicable if he is to reach his goal ....

Amen

Love is all that God requires of mankind ....

B.D. 8916 from January 23rd 1965, taken from Book No. 93

Again and again I must give you the assurance that you stand in truth, if you just keep to My revelations from above, if you yourselves do not add own or foreign knowledge, where you cannot determine the origin. But you have the will to only represent truth, and so I also protect you from error. "My spirit will introduce you to all truth ...." These words are always to be the guarantee for you that you move in right thinking, because I knew it, in which way My opponent proceeded (goes) against truth and that I again and again had to go against the error, which he would put before you, (has to correct the error, which he puts before you,) to help you up. So you can accept everything unhesitatingly, and you need not fear to be misled again. If you now consider how simple My teaching of love was, how I demanded nothing else from you than only love towards Me and towards the neighbour, how in the fulfilment of these My commandments everything would be promoted out of your soul, how you could overcome every passion, every vice, every vice through it, if you just lived in unselfish neighbourly love, then you could very quickly have accomplished the change to your original being .... And truly, no organisation was necessary for this .... Every person could accomplish this change for himself, and then people would also have come together as a matter of course because they would have served each other and everyone would have made use of the abilities he possessed in order to make his fellow human being happy with them .... But you are far from practicing this love of God and neighbour, and whether you come together in communities to fulfil outwardly duties, which were given to you humanly. When you fulfil them without love, you do not have the smallest profit from it for your soul, because I only demand love from you; I alone value the degree of love, with which you enter the kingdom on the other side after your death, because it was love, against which you transgressed and therefore fell into the deep. And so also love must help you again on the way up; you can only become happy through love and let yourselves be redeemed from your original sin through eternal love. And this is always ready for it. And when you now consider how little I demand of you, but that you are also not prepared to do this little, then you run the risk to again have to go the endless long course through creation, because your self-love still predominates and this self-love is exactly opposed to My desire to be active in unselfish neighbourly love. Everyone wants to achieve the greatest advantage for himself; to everyone his own lot is important, and he does not consider that he creates a far worse lot for himself in eternity, because I cannot act against My order from eternity; I can only prepare for everyone that lot, which he has chosen for himself. But his life is directed against My order from eternity, and therefore he must also take the consequences upon himself. But that man .... as soon as he is active in love .... will also know about all correlations, this is alien to him, and he could create this state for himself to gain correct knowledge about everything, he would no longer go blindly through earthly life .... He can achieve all this through love, because love is a fire, which radiates light; love is the divine in man, which again makes him to a divine creature and which now also lets all abilities come to light in him, which lay hidden in him through lack of love. Why do you not seek to regain the light of knowledge? Why do you find it so difficult to live in love, which is your true element? Because you still stand under the influence of him who is without all love and therefore also wants to prevent you to reshape yourselves, and because you do not want to acknowledge the one Who can free you from that power. Call to Him that He makes you free from that power, and He will truly help you; He will give you the power; He will strengthen your will so that you take the way up. But love is the first commandment, which you must fulfil, from which I can release no man, because only love leads back again to Me, from Whom you once came forth (went out) ...._>Amen

God's Word intends to attract people's love ....

B.D. 8917 from January 24th 1965, taken from Book No. 93

You, who continuously receive the gifts of My grace and thereby constantly enjoy the evidence of My presence, possess an abundance of wealth which cannot be taken away from you again. You are guided into extraordinary knowledge which no one can refute, for such knowledge can only be given to you by the One Who knows everything, but Who wants to impart it to every person who sincerely desires it and appeals to Me for it. And the fact that I know far more than you are capable of comprehending shall only encourage you to become ever more mature in soul, for you will be immeasurably happy the deeper you penetrate My eternal plan of Salvation, the more information is given to you about My reign and activity .... And all the possessions of the world will not be able to tempt you anymore once you have penetrated the secrets of creation and can understand all happenings. For then you will have attained the state of realisation again, then you will be enlightened and approach the original state again, in which you were profusely happy.

Then your existence as a human being will soon come to an end, you will be able to discard your physical shell and return into My kingdom which is your true home .... Therefore strive to increase your maturity of soul, don't tire in your endeavours but believe that unimaginable splendours are waiting for you in My kingdom which is not of this world .... Your endeavour shall be to join Me forever more, not to exclude Me from your thoughts any longer, I want to be with you and be able to illuminate you with My love again, with the result that you will become enlightened and able to hear My voice clearly and distinctly, so that you will no longer doubt that I Am speaking to you and teaching you ....

The fact that My love always and forever applies to you ought to be recognised by you in My seeking to attract your love .... I followed you into the abyss and helped you to ascend from the depth until you were able to embody yourselves as human beings. And even now My love will not cease, it grants you blessings in abundance and is always ready to help .... it appeals for your love by speaking to you and giving you strength, which you only need to use correctly in order to continue your ascent to the pinnacle, in order to finally be able to enter My kingdom. For My love wants to welcome you as My children, it wants to grant you supreme blissfulness, which you cannot possibly imagine. And by speaking to you I intend for you to become convinced of My presence so that you will then also respond to My love, that you will open your heart and let the ray of My love enter it, so that the unity with Me can take place in love, which is an integral part of bliss. And you will eternally glorify Me, you will sing My praises and give thanks to Me forever, for then you will have become perfect again, as you were in the beginning, as your Father in Heaven is perfect ....

Amen

Walk from the deep to the light being ....

B.D. 8918 from January 26th 1965, taken from Book No. 93

The whole of creation is, as it were, a reservoir for the fallen spiritual, which is in constant change, which takes on one form after the other and leaves it again and thus undergoes a slow upward development according to divine law. For nothing is created without meaning and purpose; everything that exists serves that which is bound in it to progress. There is no form which is useless or without purpose because love and wisdom of God were involved in the creation of all forms and these can also truly be recognized. But man only knows about a fraction of the whole creation, and he can also hardly find the connections in his limited thinking. That is why man is taught that love and wisdom of God were determining with the creation of all things and that consequently also the purpose and the aim will once be reached, to lead all fallen spiritual again to the height, which it once had left in free will .... That now man lacks the knowledge about it is a sign for it that it is still shrouded in darkness, under which the fallen spiritual languishes and which it also can only break through in the stage as man when it is willing to it itself. As long as the spiritual walks through creation, so long it also moves in darkness, i.e., it is without I-consciousness; it certainly vegetates along; it is life in the still so seemingly dead form, but it does not recognize itself, because it has no I-consciousness .... Until, in the stage of a human being, it has again become an I-conscious being which can now think about everything that is in and around it. Then the further development takes on a different form because the human being is now no longer under the law of compulsion but has free will. And this stage is quite significant for the being, which is now to cover the walk upwards out of its own drive. And this walk on earth as man is the decisive thing where he has to bring proof that he demands in free will to God .... Then he can finally leave creation and re-enter the kingdom of free spirits, which he once had left. And then he will be exceedingly happy to have passed this test of will with the success of the union with God .... Then he will look back full of gratitude on the time on earth lying behind him with all agonies and sufferings, which the stay in every form meant for him .... And then he himself will want to help the spiritual, which still languishes in form .... Then he will be redeemingly active, because everything what is still bound in form needs this help, because it is powerless and therefore has to be driven to activity, which is determined for it according to the law of compulsion. And the already matured spiritual imparts this power to it, because it has now become power receiver through the union with God and uses this power for redeeming activity. This is also how life is to be explained, which all the creations prove, in which a "life" can be ascertained. God Himself is indeed the origin of all life, the stream of life flows constantly from Him into infinity, but always via the countless receivers of light, who now pass on the light and are immeasurably happy in this activity. And so God receives the entire creation, but light and power stations will always receive and pass on the power going out from Him, because all power drives to activity and God's love and wisdom also wants to make countless beings happy, which constantly receive the power and the light from Him. And as soon as a light can be given to a man about it, he is already in the last stage of his development. It is the light of love radiation, which he once rejected, but now opens himself (to which he now however opens himselful) again and increases in his knowledge, until he again can grasp all connections and devotes himself full of eagerness to also impart his knowledge to fellowmen .... The light comes to men again, and who grants access to this light, he will no longer sink into darkness in eternity .... He will become a light himself, which can unite with the light from eternity and now can radiate light again himself to where there is still darkness of spirit ...._>Amen

What is the world? ....

B.D. 8919 from January 28th 1965, taken from Book No. 93

Thus you can look at the world with all its creations as a kingdom belonging to My opponent, for it shelters all fallen spiritual substances, it is just that he is deprived of them during the time when they embody one form after another. And yet the world was created by My love, wisdom and might and My adversary has no part in it, despite the fact that it belongs to him he has no control over his world .... And it has arisen in all its beauty, sheltering the most marvellous creations of all kinds .... My love, wisdom and might can be noticed everywhere .... and although I constrained the rebellious spiritual substances within these creations the act of creation was a happy one for Me which enabled My once emanated strength to become active again, because the strength I externalised as a 'being' refused to be active and by rejecting My strength of love also rendered itself incapable of it.

And thus I gave this strength a task again .... by bringing a world into existence with all its innumerable creations .... but also with participation of the beings that had remained faithful to Me for they, too, had the power to create. They knew My thoughts, My plan of Salvation and experienced their working with Me as exceptional happiness. Their love concerned their fallen brothers whom they wanted to help lift out of the abyss. The fact that this process required an infinitely long time from a human point of view did not bother them, for they were perfect and therefore lacked all concept of time .... Nor did the concept of time exist before the stage of the human being. It only started when the human being entered the creation as a self-aware being and it will not lose this concept of time and space again until he becomes perfect once more .... And this concept of time can be seen in all creations, where every form .... be it in the mineral, plant or animal world .... always has a limited time span at its disposal and thus higher development always depends on certain periods .... which thus also explain the perpetual changes which constantly can be observed in nature and which subsequently also determine the perpetual return of the seasons, of spring, summer, autumn and winter ....

Everything took place in unsurpassed wisdom, which always and forever will remain unchanged as long as creation exists, for everything proceeds according to divine law. And the various different worlds are subject to different laws again .... Yet each one contributes towards higher development, and each one takes the already achieved degree of maturity into account. This is why I look upon My creation with pleasure because I don't see in it the fallen spirits but only the means for their ascent, and I consider all means as an expression of My love and wisdom which one day will accomplish the return of the fallen spirits to Me. And you humans may take pleasure in My creation, for it offers you works of wonder which you are unable to create yourselves. You can only ever see and marvel, but you carelessly take no notice of what testifies to your Creator's wisdom, love and might. And yet this whole world only came into being because of you, and you are its crowning glory, you are the once fallen spirits which are on the last short path of return .... Everything you can see around you served to achieve your degree of maturity; you have merely overcome all these forms already.

But in the last stage as a human being My adversary has power over you again which I cannot deny him but which you can take away from him yourselves by directing your will towards Me .... And once more all beings of light will stand by you in order to support you in your battle against him, for they all want you to become free from him .... who alone was the cause of the origin of the earthly world because he had pulled you down into the abyss. You, however, must decide for yourselves which lord you want to join, and this decision alone determines your fate in eternity ....

Amen

The spiritual low of mankind draws near the end ....

B.D. 8920 from January 29th 1965, taken from Book No. 93

That such a low is on earth in spiritual relationship has its reason alone in unkindness, which My opponent stirs up and lets men sink deeper and deeper. Because love alone leads up; through love man escapes from the influence of My opponent; love enlightens his thinking; love lets man seek connection with eternal love; he acknowledges Jesus Christ as redeemer of the world and presents all sins to Him that He forgives them. Love therefore changes man to his original nature, while lack of love pulls him down deeper and deeper and the spiritual state becomes disastrous through it, so that a dissolving of earth creation can no longer be avoided. Because the power over the spiritual must again be wrested from the opponent, and again a possibility for ascent development must be given to this spiritual. Because the lack of love would only increase more and more; an improvement is no longer to be expected on earth, and moreover the earth time granted to the spiritual has passed; a new development period must begin where everything again happens in lawful order. This low is the final result of the work of My opponent, which he certainly regards as a triumph, but does not recognize that the power over the spiritual is again taken from him for a long time, because as long as it again goes through earth creation in a state of compulsion, he has lost power over it. Again and again this process will repeat itself, but not ascertainable for you men, because you do not know about the beginning of a redemption period and about its end, because this time lies so far apart that the knowledge about it gets lost to you. And that must also be so so that no faith compulsion of any kind could determine you to the change of your will, which must always keep its freedom. That I inform you again at the right time when such a transformation of earth takes place, this also happens without compulsion of will, because since you lack all knowledge about such, you will hardly accept it as credible that you stand shortly before the end .... except for the small flock of My own who stand in profound faith and are certain of it .... But also they learn neither day nor hour .... And so also now again a redemption period comes to an end, whereby I think of the spiritual still bound in the creations, which also again has to be begotten into other forms to once reach the stage as man. And I cannot warn and admonish enough that you men change in your attitude, that you are to make an effort to practice love and to refrain from all unkindness because it certainly brings ruin to you. That still much misery goes over earth is also to be a help for you men because through it you can feel prompted to works of love, and I will touch every man's heart that it acts willingly to help. But once the day of the end is there, and who has not already created a small spiritual ascent for himself before through services of love, he is hopelessly lost. Creation takes him up again, and he has to start his course of development anew as dissolved. Because all creations have to be wrested from My opponent again, since he has abused his power beyond his authority. Because he will bring it so far that all faith in a God is taken from men. Then he has to be bound again for a long time together with his following, and a new life begins in peace and harmony, in love and a life in divine order, where I Myself can dwell among the ones who are Mine, among those who withstand all hostilities from the side of the opponent .... who therefore hold out until the end ...._>Amen

God is love .... great question about "guilt" ....

B.D. 8921 from January 30th 1965, taken from Book No. 93

So let Me "introduce you to the truth ...." For there are still many things I want to enlighten you about in order to let you easily find the path to Me. For every error also means an erroneous path, and you will need far more time until you reach your aim .... until you once recognize the pure truth and then your ascent is guaranteed .... You are thinking wrongly if you believe that your God and creator will ever detach Himself from you, even if you commit the worst crimes .... I am a God Who in His greater than great love understands everything and forgives everything, because I Myself walked the earth as a human being and therefore know by what power you are bound .... And you are therefore easily inclined to regard everything what comes over you as a punitive judgement, but you do not consider that I cannot act differently for the sake of yourselves, that I also again have to 'judge', i.e., have to reclassify (what has stepped out of divine order ....) and that always only in it My great love towards you, My creatures gone out from Me, is expressed in all events, which are regarded as destruction and annihilation. No matter how you will look at the coming events, in the end they will only be to your advantage, which you will also recognize one day. You yourselves prepare this fate; you yourselves force the end; you yourselves distance yourselves from Me so far that there is no other means left for Me than to bind you again for the sake of your former becoming free. That you now devote yourselves to My opponent, cannot reduce My love towards you, because once I will completely win you away from him, as it will also now already be the case that he no longer has power over you through your new banishment. And only the spirit-awakened will be able to recognize My love because he is initiated into My plan of salvation from eternity. But I ask you: Can you now still believe that I Myself could have caused such an offence, which is so exceedingly difficult for you to expiate? That you often have to go through more than one redemption period in order to become free from this guilt? Can you believe that I let you suffer for a guilt whose originator I would have been Myself? Then you would also have to deny Me all love, which after all is meant for you until all eternity. And as long as you still carry this thought in you, that from Me the evil was transplanted into you, so long you will err and not recognize Me right, because this thought is downright absurd and does not testify to an awakened spirit. But it was received as most shameful work of My opponent by the hearts of those who did not think about it that this could be impossible because I am and will always remain a God of love, who abhors all evil but has never given even the slightest cause for evil. It will still require many words until this false doctrine is eliminated from the world, because My opponent has already had an effect too deeply, and he has succeeded, because always the intellect of man took a stand on that question and this was not able to give himself any other representation than that everything .... also the evil .... has taken its origin from Me. But who now cannot free himself from this, he is to ask himself once, why it is spoken of an original sin, which was cause for the work of redemption of Christ, if therefore I Myself would have been originally to blame for the apostasy of the spiritual? I created the being perfectly and also with free will and the feeling for good and evil, but which only then came to expression when My opponent had given birth to evil out of himself and now also those fallen away beings desired evil, while the other beings only turned their desire towards the good. I Myself determined no being to the direction of its will, but My opponent's power was so strong that he transferred all bad qualities to those beings, and so he is to be regarded as alone responsible for the fall. But free will made the beings complicit, and they can only be released from this guilt through Jesus Christ, because the apostasy was an offence against Me Myself, against My love .... and that with brightest knowledge .... so that this guilt could not be atoned for by the being alone. And that is why this fall into sin already eliminates all participation on My part, which should be understandable to every thinking person ...._>Amen

Announcing the end again - natural history ....

B.D. 8922 from January 31th 1965, taken from Book No. 93

I will always address you because without My supply of power you could not exist in the time of the end because this is so close to you that you would be frightened when you would know the day and the hour. But this must remain hidden to you to not make you unable to live, but I again and again point out to you that you still make good use of the time for your soul, that you do not live along without all knowledge. You certainly also only have to believe it, and worldly men will not be able to muster this faith, but also they are to experience it and also be pointed to a sudden recall through disasters taking place more and more often. Because it remains the same for every man whether he already loses his life before or still experiences the hour of the end .... his life is ended, and as his soul is constituted, so is also his lot in eternity .... only that the person who already loses his life beforehand is spared the faith struggle, which still makes great demands on people's steadfastness if they are to confess Me before the world .... And the possibility still remains for them to come to recognition in the spiritual kingdom, to let themselves be taught by willing redeeming powers in the hereafter and then not to sink into deepest darkness. But this fate has to be expected by those who walk along completely without faith, who do not think of a power, to which they owe earth life, and who therefore completely surrender to the earthly world, therefore are members of My adversary and will be bound with him on the day of judgement .... And there will be very many of them because the world, i.e. the people who inhabit this earth, will become ever more degenerate .... And the greatest evil is that self-love is so predominant that they no longer respect their neighbour, that their hearts are hardened, that everyone wants to rule and declare war on his fellow human being, that therefore My adversary is very clearly recognizable by their nature. That is why also the end has come where I have to restore the whole earth to a right station of education for the spiritual, which again has to start the walk over earth to once again reach the stage as man. Because eternal times this process will still last, and again and again the opponent will be able to unfold his power when men will again be afflicted with matter, but what now will not be the case for a long time. Because men of the new earth are so devoted to Me in love that I mean everything for them and so also My opponent will have no power over these men .... That you now stand in this time, you do not want to believe, and that is why I will once again sound My voice, which you all will have to hear .... I will give you a visible sign of My power, which you doubt, who do not want to acknowledge Me as your God and creator .... And this sign will not be long in coming but it will be so powerful that you would have to recognize Me by it .... I announce it to all of you that you will get into completely changed living conditions overnight where only the one can help you when you call upon Him for help in your trouble .... And this event precedes the last judgement, but it also already means the end for many men, who will be victims of the natural disaster .... as I have already announced it often. But their fate is not yet the worst, for the kingdom on the other side is still open to them, where they are offered the opportunity to make up for what they have neglected, so that they need not share the fate of those who will be banished into matter at the end .... This event is still the last appeal to the unbelievers that they still think of the power, which stands above them, which gave them life and which also now can help them when they call on Me. But this intervention is irrevocably followed by the end, which will not be long in coming. And then no more mercy is to be expected because I have to leave the spiritual that is completely opposed to Me to My opponent who has a right to it. He will indeed not be able to keep it because I bind it again into matter for its own sake; I withdraw it from his power and make him himself incapable of all influence so that he is therefore bound for a long time. Whether you believe this or not .... No long time passes anymore, and you will experience it .... And therefore make sure that you belong to My own, whom I will protect from his influence .... who will endure until the end .... until I come to take them ...._>Amen

God corrects a big error ....

B.D. 8923 from February 1st 1965, taken from Book No. 93

I want to give you a very important explanation which should enlighten those of you who are still convinced that evil is inherent in Me too, and that I have hence supposedly created beings with all their bad instincts and attributes .... You, who have to fight against all these instincts in order to regain your original condition, did not emerge from Me like that, because if that were the case I would have created a spirit world which could not be deemed to be in My image. Everything emerged from Me in absolute perfection and has remained perfect for an infinity. Therefore, if they were in My image, in accordance with your opinion I Myself would have to have all kinds of evil attributes within Myself, hence I would have to be a God of duality, Who created good as well as evil simultaneously .... In this case, however, the beings could not be considered to be guilty, because they would have detached themselves from Me as a result of their inclination .... But then the act of Salvation by Jesus Christ would not have been necessary either, because a ‘sin’ is an offence against Me which, however, the being was unable to commit since it was not created in any other way .... hence, I Myself would have been the cause of this alleged sin ....

If you believe that all opposites are inherent in the most perfect Being then you are contradicting yourselves, because perfection has to be good, it cannot be associated with all evil attributes because then it would not be perfect any longer .... But every fallen spirit is burdened with the original sin which it cannot eternally redeem of its own accord .... Hence you can see from this the enormity and gravity of this sin against Me, so Am I supposed to have been the cause of it Myself? Of a sin which demanded an act of mercy such as the human being Jesus has accomplished? .... Who realised that this very sin had to be redeemed one day for the sake of justice ....

One of the purest angel beings volunteered for this act of atonement in the knowledge that the sin of apostasy from God was the ultimate offence against His love .... And was I supposed to have supported this sin Myself by creating beings with ‘all opposites’? In order to then, because of My induced sin, make them walk an excruciatingly painful path through matter, which would thus once again imply an utterly evil Being but not the boundless love a of supremely perfect God and Creator Who wants to be Father to you all.

Everything that has resulted from the original sin is on account of My adversary’s doing, who has been the cause himself, who has implanted you with all evil instincts and who was able to do so the moment you rejected My emission of love and thus had no further strength to resist him. As long as you support this misguided teaching you still have a very obscured concept of Me .... as long as you look for the origin of evil in Me you do not yet understand Christ’s act of Salvation properly .... Because you can only speak of the original sin when you are fully responsible for it .... and this would not be the case if I had created you with the tendency of sin already within yourselves. However, since you are burdened with the original sin, from which you can only be redeemed by Jesus Christ, but cannot accuse Me of any injustice, it is clearly self-evident that the sin against Me was committed by you yourselves, that My adversary has induced you to commit this sin, which you committed voluntarily and therefore you are also fully responsible for it .... that you therefore brought about all past torments and suffering yourselves and Jesus Christ will help you to become free of this guilt ....

To you, who want to serve Me by spreading the truth, the act of creation has been extensively explained, as far as you are able to grasp it .... And from all this follows that the spirit world was originally created in complete perfection, and that I was extremely happy with the host of the first created spirits for an eternity .... But I have also known about My first externalized spirit’s antagonism for an eternity, I've known about his opposition and the confusion he would cause amongst My earliest spirits .... I knew of their apostasy from Me, but I had externalized him as My image with the same creative power and creative strength .... and I did not stop him when he misused this power and transferred all of his bad attributes on to those who followed him voluntarily, because I had allowed the will of all beings to be free .... And this explained the fall into the abyss, only it occurred voluntarily and was particularly grave because the beings were still within the light of awareness and yet they have accepted all evil attributes which My adversary has imbued in them, but for which I Myself cannot be held responsible ....

Amen

Spiritual knowledge should ignite love for God ....

B.D. 8924 from February 2nd 1965, taken from Book No. 93

The fact that the secrets of creation are revealed to you, as far as this is possible with your maturity of soul, is a sign of My great love of which I want to inform you, so that you learn to recognize Me in My nature and likewise show Me your love .... It is indeed always only a partial knowledge, but which is also enough to let you ignite to hot love towards Me, because when you know about all connections, when you know that always My unsurpassable wisdom has let everything come into being so and when you know that all creations serve and have served you for the best .... in a word .... if I let you gain insight into My plan of salvation from eternity .... then all your love must belong to Me .... And for this I desire .... If you just once consider that the entire work of creation was only a work of My love and wisdom, which My omnipotence brought to completion .... and that this whole work of creation only aimed at your becoming 'children of God', then nothing can find room in you apart from love .... And you would sing praise and thanks to Me if only you could grasp this great proof of My love, which, however, already presupposes your perfection .... Nevertheless I enlighten you about your beginning and your aim, because I want it that you slowly return again into that state, in which you stood in the beginning, when all My love power radiated through you. You certainly only open a crack of your heart, into which I can let My love radiate, but also these few love rays are to cause that you always open yourselves further, that you no longer offer Me the least resistance in the end, that you devote yourselves to Me and demand nothing more than to receive My love ray continuously. And soon a bright light will shine in you; you will be introduced deeper and deeper into spiritual knowledge and always be allowed to be certain that you move in truth. And so I woo every man's love until he surrenders to Me that he also opens himself to My love illumination. Because that is My aim that I win the hearts that they give themselves to Me voluntarily, because I do not use any compulsion. But if knowledge is now given to you which was still unknown to you, then you should see from it that only one can impart such knowledge to you .... a being Which Itself knows about everything and Which therefore instructs you Itself. And you are to remember Him in thankfulness and His infinite love towards you and also draw the consequences out of that knowledge, i.e. fulfil what I demand of you to also be allowed to take part in the great gift of favour. And through the fulfilment of My demands you now form yourselves to love, which pushes towards Me and makes Me happy. In the beginning you also possessed the light of knowledge, but which has now been lost to you through your fall into sin .... But there is nothing more beautiful than that you again put yourselves into the state in which you stood in the beginning. And to this only belongs the change of your nature to love, and I woo for this love, and I will not stop to woo for it, because there is nothing more blessed for you than that you unite with Me, what exactly requires a life in love. When now a picture is given to you about My rule and work in infinity, when you can conclude from everything about My unsurpassable wisdom, when you know that only love has determined Me to this creation, then you can only love your God and creator with all intimacy of your heart, because he proves to you that He is the most perfect being, which wants to be recognized by you as father. Once I will indeed reach the aim that all My loved ones (creatures) show unlimited love towards Me. But before the end of an earth period it is always a matter of concern for Me that I spare the beings a repeated earth walk (walk through creation). And that is why I let them take note of that knowledge, which I can convey to them through servants devoted to Me and which is always only to testify to My love and wisdom to make it easy for them to believe in a most perfect God and creator, Who reveals Himself to them. For this reason alone I initiate people into My plan of salvation from eternity and give them knowledge which should truly convince them that it is like this and not otherwise .... And this end is imminent and causes Me to be unusually active because I still court every soul whose love gives itself to Me ...._>Amen

God Himself substantiates the revelations with the near end ....

B.D. 8925 from February 4th 1965, taken from Book No. 93

You received the knowledge about the reasons for creating the spirit world, you were taught about all events .... as far as you were able to understand them .... which gave you a clear idea about the apostasy of the spirits .... I have explained Mine and your fundamental nature which, in itself, is the same .... All knowledge was given to you so comprehensibly that, with good will, you can truly recognise My infinite love. I gave you a bright light so that you may now live in its radiance, so that you brightly and clearly recognise your actual existence, your beginning and your goal. Anyone who adopts this knowledge, who accepts it with a will which strives towards Me, can also be certain that he will reach the last goal on earth .... I want to instruct you in all clarity, knowledge which is unknown to millions of people shall be easily comprehensible to you, because they don't wish to know what is revealed to you, who desire truth. I was able to transmit it to earth in such detail because I made use of a vessel which did not allow its intellect to interfere, which did not offer Me the slightest resistance, to which I was therefore able to impart the truth in the most understandable way, so that all correlations could be explained by Me and your most important questions were answered .... This is necessary during the last days before the end, because people shall be informed once more of all processes relating to My reign and activity in the whole of the universe .... because they shall form a right concept of My Nature and also let go of all errors which, due to intellectual thoughts, were time and again also able to creep into My revelations, if thereby My spirit was prevented from working. However, I know that error is dangerous, I also know who wants to release himself from it and therefore convey to him My pure Word again and give to him according to his desire. For this reason I will also send the knowledge of it to wherever it is willingly and gratefully accepted .... I know how to prevent that spiritual knowledge, which originated from Me in all purity, gets into the wrong hands, for there is only a short time left until the end and I Myself determine which route the spiritual knowledge takes, and I will also always choose the right workers who will leave it unchanged and whose sacred awe prevents them from implementing changes which are not My will. This is why My constant protection is assured you, My servants on earth, so that you can unimpededly accomplish your task of spreading My Word in all its purity, of passing it on to those who desire it .... Nevertheless, you should not distribute it arbitrarily but always take care that they willingly listen to it or don't reject it if you offer it to them. For the world is not interested in the pure truth, and to offer it to worldly people will yield little success, even though you should also mention it to them, but the determination to reject it will always be stronger than the resolve to accept it ....

Each person must make his own decision, yet the consequences of this choice will differ considerably .... it can grant people a glorious life in eternity but also lead to renewed banishment. The fact that I repeatedly send the pure truth to earth is an act of grace of momentous significance; it shall be the evidence of My presence for My Own, so that they will not doubt its truth but advocate it wholeheartedly even if they are confronted by the harshest objections .... I truly know why I must reveal Myself once more before the end, I know that My adversary's influence will continue until the end and I want to protect those people from him who want to be My Own .... but this is only possible if the full truth is conveyed to them. Therefore, don't be afraid if people want to hold you to account .... What you receive from above can be rightfully endorsed by you, for then you will only ever state what I put into your mouth. Yet even then you will still win, for people won't know how to respond to you. As yet you can still pass on the spiritual knowledge you possess without being prevented from doing so and you should use this time well, for one day you will have to bow to the power and be unable to speak publicly when My adversary .... the Antichrist .... comes to power and fights against everything of a spiritual nature .... By that time you shall have scattered many seeds which can take root in silence and will truly give you the strength to persevere until the end ....

Amen

The great suffering makes one doubt the love of God ....

B.D. 8926 from February 5th 1965, taken from Book No. 93

Again and again you are told that I am love Itself, that no being is too small for Me not to give it My endless love, and that this love never wants a being to suffer, that it is unable to feel bliss .... Thus your state .... if you suffer or can no longer feel My love .... must (can) therefore be cannot be My will but the will of the one who has placed you in this state, or you have caused the state you are now in yourselves. And that is why you go through an agonizing earth life, always with the aim to free yourselves from this guilt, provided that you seriously strive for this aim. And My endless love will always be helpful to you for this. It pours out favours upon favours upon you, i.e., it bestows gifts upon you which you do not deserve because you once rejected My love .... But My love is greater, and its aim is to win you back, but your free will must be prepared for it, because My justice does not allow that I apply a compulsion, where you must decide in free will. But it is about your life in eternity which is not to be sorrowful, which you are to enjoy in freedom and power, as it was your original purpose. But it is difficult for you humans to believe that I am pure love when you have to go through this earthly life which involves much suffering and you are still faced with great hardship. But always only love determines Me to it, to finally win you for Me, because you are only to turn your looks towards Me, that I now can also grasp you, to never ever give you up. Therefore hold out; do not let yourselves be dissuaded from the faith in Me, and no matter how difficult it may be to believe in a God of love .... The time on earth will soon be over; also all heaviness, suffering will pass, and if it has only brought you a glimmer of knowledge, then you are rescued for all eternity .... But the suffering will still increase, and men will doubt a God and creator .... but the time of the end commands an increasing trouble, but which you all could get through in firm faith in My love, which does not want to leave you to My opponent. For it is now only a question of whether you muster the strength to detach yourselves from him and to strive towards Me in free will .... If you are willing to do so, the strength will be granted to you in every way, for every thought of the heart is known to Me, and My love is always ready to help you .... If only you would believe in Me as your God and creator, Who wants to make all His creations happy for eternity. But the influence of My adversary is exceedingly strong, and you rather surrender to him, who only feels hatred for all creatures and wants your ruin .... And you, who cling to him, you forcefully draw near the end, because I must again wrest his power over you from him and again cause you agonies, by Me having to let you cover the course once again, so that you once again reach the stage as man. And also this is a proof of My endless love towards you, because once you will reach the aim and then you will also realize it that you could not reach perfection differently than on this way, and then you will be happy and remain eternally ...._>Amen

The right lifeborn ....

B.D. 8927 from February 6th 1965, taken from Book No. 93

From the spring of life, which I Myself have opened for you, you can draw constantly; you can receive the living water, which will refresh you and is a constant refreshment for you. And you are also to pass it on to those who lack it, who go along their earth life way weak and feeble and are grateful to you for that drink of life. You are to take care of the neighbour, who is without feeding from above, because the food, which he receives, gives no strength for the way up, who always only wants to cover earthly needs and does nothing for his soul. You should consider that your stay on earth is no longer long, but that you are to create a supply for yourselves, which then makes up your wealth in the kingdom in the beyond. And therefore no drying up of the spring is to be feared from Me, only you yourselves can bring it to a standstill; you yourselves can forfeit this delicious gift if you don't let Me speak to you, if your desire is not spiritually directed .... But I will also know how to prevent this, after all the salvation of innumerable souls on earth as well as in the kingdom on the other side is at stake, all of them camp at the spring and whose trouble I remember. Moreover, the beings of light constantly endeavour to pass on the flow of light which they receive directly from Me, and since a being of light has offered to receive this flow, you humans on earth and also the souls in the beyond will constantly be able to accept the light .... and as long as it is offered to people unchanged it will not lose its strength either .... But this you are to take care of that you continue to pray it so as it was given to you. And then you are truly eager workers in My vineyard; you carry My word out into the world, as pure as it has gone out from Me Myself. Through the work of redemption of Jesus Christ also this My address has been made possible, because before men were burdened with original sin and could no longer establish the union with Me. But now every man can form himself so that I can address him, but this address is different and always depends on the degree of love of the individual. But I speak to everyone who sincerely desires My address, only that he often does not recognize it as My address, that he believes to have own thoughts, but which in truth were given to him by Me, that therefore his thinking is right. Therefore every man can feel addressed by Me, who establishes the connection with Me through prayer or love work, who sincerely wants that I am close to him, who therefore already gives Me his will. And when I now choose a vessel for Me, which records My word, then he will also recognize the agreement of that what he has received mentally; everything will touch him so naturally that he accepts it and no longer has reservations. And that is why I tell you, you cannot but stand in truth when you just connect yourselves with Me and give Me your will .... But exactly this will (you do not give to Me), and that is why I address you through a light bearer and his messengers to impart to you the knowledge how you can establish the union with Me, to open the hearts for you through an unknown knowledge, that you likewise seek the union with Me and so the circle of those, whom I address, becomes greater. I only want to light a small light in all men to prevent that they enter the kingdom of darkness at their death because if they only have a small light then they will also still pursue the way up in the hereafter. Darkness is like death, which can also lead down into the deepest depth if the soul cannot still be redeemed from hell, which your love can still help it to do if you pray for such a soul ...._>Amen

God's merciful guidance of the vineyard labourers ....

B.D. 8928 from February 8th 1965, taken from Book No. 93

You should pay attention to My will, which I shall always place into your heart when you appeal to Me for advice and help. Then you will feel it as an inner urge which you should comply with. The prerequisite is, however, that you establish contact with Me in prayer first, that it is your own will to receive My instructions, because you cannot assume that every thought originates from Me but must also take into account that My adversary intervenes in your thoughts if he feels that you pray half-heartedly, that not your heart but only you mouth is speaking. Therefore you should constantly observe yourselves, but always trustingly come to Me with every request and appeal to Me for support. You should always know that you will be guided by Me as soon as you want to be active for Me, for this activity of yours is wanted by Me and can therefore never be wrong if it is your serious will to thereby be of service to Me. For countless beings of light are protecting you by fending off all incorrect thoughts so that you can therefore accomplish your spiritual task with complete peace of mind and need not be afraid of being used by the adversary .... And you must be certain of this, because you should stand up for your spiritual knowledge and will only be able to do so if you are sure of My protection. Consequently, you need not worry that you would ever lose My love, for I Am aware of your struggle and know every doubt arising in you, yet I also know that you will quell these doubts yourselves because you will receive the strength for this from Me. However, you must remain firmly connected with Me so that I will be able to affect you directly. For the adversary will also try to prevail, but he will be unsuccessful if you always long for Me and My presence, for he will take flight from the light and thus from Me Myself, Who kindles a light in you .... Time and again you will notice My merciful guidance if only you pay attention to how I direct everything, if you keep your eyes and ears open, if you take notice of how everything falls into place and always shows My care .... because as long as you are ready for Me, I Am also willing to smooth your every path. For all this is the result of your will to serve Me selflessly, which I rate as proof of your love for Me. And therefore you are being presented with knowledge which only ever serves to enlighten you, which proves My immense love for you and from which you can conclude that I do not just want to be your God and Creator but that you should recognise your Father in Me instead. This is why I convey to you the information which enables you to infer to a supremely perfect Being Which bows down in Its infinite love to let you partake in that which My sphere of love has to offer .... For all the glories in My kingdom were created by the Father for His children in order to make them infinitely happy. However, you must know about it .... And this knowledge must be conveyed to you by those I was able to initiate in My plan of Creation, who willingly open themselves to rays of light. And if you now consider how little light can shine among the human race, then you will also understand that I will repeatedly assure those of My care who want to comply with the task of introducing this knowledge to their fellow human beings, for although their mission is an exceptionally beneficial one, it is also a difficult task, because not many people can be found who question the purpose of their life on earth and who are therefore also willing to accept instructions. But My blessing will forever be with those who work for Me and My kingdom, because the only important thing is that they enlighten their fellow human beings about the meaning and purpose of life on earth, about My will and that they also spread the knowledge of the significance of the act of Salvation, for this information is essential if people want to become blessed ....

Amen
