Who was Bertha Dudde?

Bertha Dudde wurde am 1. April 1891 als zweitälteste Tochter eines Kunstmalers in Liegnitz, Schlesien, geboren.

Bertha Dudde was born on 1. April 1891, as the second oldest daughter of a painter, in Liegnitz, Silesia. She became a dressmaker and began to receive pronouncements from God through the ‘Inner Word’ on 15. June 1937.

“In a clear dream I was moved to write down my thoughts after devout prayer. Understandably this often gave way to doubt and inner conflicts until I was convinced that I was, myself, by no means the initiator of these exquisitely gracious words; but instead it was the spirit within me, in other words, the love of the Heavenly Father was obviously responsible for them and introduced me to the truth”.

“I was given knowledge of the spiritual world which far exceeded my elementary school education. I received and receive this knowledge as a dictation in a state of complete consciousness; I write down everything I am told in shorthand, in order to then transfer it word for word to clean copy. The procedure does not take place in a state of compulsion, for example in a state of trance or ecstasy, but in an absolutely level-headed frame of mind. However, I have to want it to happen and then I can receive these dictations voluntarily; they are neither bound by time nor place.”

“Now I only have one wish, which is to be able to make these gifts of grace accessible to many more people and in accordance with the will of God Himself to be allowed to do much more work in His vineyard.”

(Quotations from an autobiography from 1959).

Bertha Dudde died on 18. September 1965 in Leverkusen, Germany.

Autobiography of Bertha Dudde

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

God as a loving Father ....

B.D. 7648 from July 15th 1960, taken from Book No. 80

For the majority of people I Am the distant, inaccessible God, providing they still believe in Me .... But they have no bond with Me, they look for Me in the distance, they indeed see in Me their God and Creator but not their Father .... they have not yet established the relationship of a child with its Father and therefore dare not address Me like a Father nor do they expect help because they exclude My Fatherly love and only see in Me a punishing God, a merciless Judge Who condemns them without pity if they don't live in accordance with His will. People do not know about My greater than great love for them or they would approach Me trustingly and communicate with Me .... They don't know that they came forth from My love and that My love belongs to them despite the fact that they became sinful .... They are still distant from Me and therefore cannot be permeated by My strength either, because then they would have to turn towards Me devotedly .... because they would have to seek My presence and muster the will to be accepted by Me as My child ....

And it is difficult to convey this knowledge to them .... for I Am and will remain an unattainable Being for these humans, Which stands sky-high above humanity and has little or no contact at all with them. They don't believe in a correlation between the Creator with His living creation, they feel and are indeed isolated as long as they don't lift the isolation themselves and try to join Me. I, however, want to be the Father of My children; I want to be close to people, so close that they will be able to hear Me. But this first requires the human being's free will to be in contact with Me. The human being, too, must want to approach Me, he must abolish the vast distance between us himself by his very will to be in contact with Me. And this resolve can awaken in the human being if My love is proclaimed to him time and again, if I Am presented to Him as a supremely perfect Being Which is pure love and Which wants to give His great love to His living creations in order to make them happy. I must be presented to people as supremely perfect, and perfection includes an abundance of love for My living creations. Only when the human being can believe in My love will his love for Me ignite and he will yearn for contact with Me ....

And then he will also feel like My child and long for the Father in order to intimately communicate with Him. He will no longer feel any inhibitions, he will speak to Me like a child speaks to its Father, and he will also feel My love and therefore approach Me trustingly .... And then I can be present with him, then the vast distance will have been abolished, then the child will also be able to hear My voice because .... if it strives towards Me .... it has become love itself, which causes the unity of the child with the Father .... And as soon as you are able to portray Me to your fellow human beings as their God and Creator, as a most loving Father Who only desires to be united with His children again as it was in the beginning .... as soon as you present Me as a God of love, people will lose their immense shyness in regards to Me and trustingly turn to Me when they are in trouble. They will receive My help and then try to come ever closer to Me, for then they will be seized by My love and gently but steadily be drawn upwards. And one day the union will take place too, for once the human being has felt My love he will not detach himself from Me again but ever more eagerly strive towards Me, and the vast distance will finally have been overcome, with the human being no longer only seeing in Me his God and Creator but his Father, to Whom he will then take his path and with certainty also reach his goal ....

Amen

God's infinite Fatherly love ....

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

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

Amen

Filial love .... Paternal love ....

B.D. 3292 from October 13th 1944, taken from Book No. 43

Become like little children, then you will be able to love Me like a child loves its Father. Don't oppose My will but let Me guide you; take hold of My Fatherly hand and follow Me without resistance and with total confidence that I will guide you correctly. In that case you will be absolved from all responsibility, for the Father will not hold His child to account if it always remains close to Him and, with childlike obedience, accepts the Father's will. Then I will care for My children with greater than great love, I will draw them to My heart and will never let them go from Me again, for then they will be My Own forever. I ask for nothing else but their love, and if you regard Me as your Father, if you feel like My children, love will indeed be kindled in you and you will want to belong to Me and thus also fulfil My will. The child knows that it will find the right protection with its Father, it knows that it will be watched over and provided with everything it needs, for the Father's love will not leave its child in adversity, and because the child knows that it is loved by Him it will love Him in return .... This is why I want you to recognise Me as your Father, because I long for your love and want to win you over for Me. You have belonged to Me since the beginning, yet only when you hand yourselves over to Me will you be My children in truth, otherwise you will merely be My living creations, you certainly came forth from Me but you are not united with Me in love. Only love will turn you into My children to whom I want to be a real Father .... Only love for Me will establish the right relationship and this love is what I seek to attract for an infinitely long time. A child who loves Me with all its heart will find absolute bliss at My Fatherly heart, for this beats in ardent love for this child and anyone who possesses My love is happy beyond measure, even if the body does not feel it as yet while it still lives on earth. Nevertheless, the soul feels the strength of My love and, in constant longing, turns to Me. It strives towards Me and desires My Word .... For love seeks the union, and since the earthly child cannot see Me, it wants to hear Me and therefore attentively listens to My Word sounding in its heart. And I will speak Words of love and of comfort to My child, Words of strength and of grace .... I will give to it what it desires, light and strength .... so that it shall grow strong and its love shall burst into a bright flame. Then I will draw close to it and pull it up to Me .... I will lift it from the realm of darkness into the kingdom of light as soon as it no longer desires anything else on earth other than My love .... then it will be ready for the spiritual kingdom, for if it has love, it will have become like Me and need never separate itself from Me again, because it will be united with Me for all eternity since it will have kindled its love for Me in its heart. And so you shall look up to Me like children, then you will also be able to love Me like children and desire Me with all your heart, and then My Fatherly love will belong to you and you will be blissfully happy ....

Amen

Relationship of a child with its Father...

B.D. 4153 from October 26th 1947, taken from Book No. 50

You shall become My Own and never separate yourselves from Me again, you shall enter into unity with Me, hand yourselves over to Me and desire no more than My love, and if you have reached this stage of renouncing all earthly things, you can relinquish your life without qualms, for then you will have passed your final test on earth and will be ready for the spiritual realm. But what do you need to achieve this degree of love for Me which will make you blissfully happy forever? You must have the relationship of a child to its father, then you will not desire anything else but to be united with Me, for the child only desires to be with the father because it feels his paternal love and knows that it is well protected by it. The child is weak and requires protection and support; it requires gifts which only the father's love can bestow upon it, so it trustingly comes to him and asks him full of childlike humility, and the father will not deny the child anything because he loves it. You must all feel like My children and have this confidence in Me so that you can present all your worries, hardships and afflictions to Me and faithfully wait for Me to take them from you, to remove them and let your fate on earth be bearable for you. And thus you forge a bond with Me, your Father of eternity, you entrust yourselves unto Me, and therefore feel so close to Me that you speak to Me without inhibition and also make an effort to gain My pleasure and thereby My love again, and you will be aware that you, as My children, possess My love and this awareness will give you inner peace and strength in abundance. And yet you will not become arrogant, you will remain profoundly faithful and be showered with My grace .... Then I will be able to take effect in you, I will be able to speak to you through My spirit and you will be able to hear Me .... the connection with Me will lead to an abundance of blessings, for then you will belong to Me and I will never ever let you leave Me again. The union will have taken place which should be all peoples' goal on earth so that they will be able to enter the kingdom of peace when their life on earth is over ....

Amen

'Come unto Me ....'

B.D. 5508 from October 15th 1952, taken from Book No. 60

All of you who labour and are heavily laden can take refuge in My arms .... For My love wants to embrace all of you and nobody who comes to Me in his distress and appeals to Me for help will be pushed back by Me .... I want to comfort and give strength, I want to heal wounds and fortify the weak, I want to awaken hope and confidence in all hearts, I want to bestow My blessings upon everyone, because no one's soul can recover without grace. 'Come unto Me, all ye that labour and are heavily laden .... I will give you rest ....' However, someone who is weak in faith might well hear these Words but he will not accept them as being spoken to him too .... he will continue to carry his burden, which I would gladly take from him if he handed it over to Me. Come to Me .... your own will must impel you to Me, for I only placed the burden upon your shoulders so that you should find the path to Me .... Every adversity is a coaxing call from your heavenly Father Who, in His love, longs for your love, for your coming to Him, in order to be able to please you. And thus, psychological distress shall also lead you to Me, you should entrust everything to Me, for it is My will that you should let Me know what troubles you .... Admittedly, I know all your afflictions and problems, yet I can only help you when you present them to Me, because it is My will that you conduct yourselves like children to the Father, it is My will that you always take the path which all good children take .... the path to the Father Who, in His love, wants to relieve them from every worry and support them with help and advice in order to make them happy now and forever. Take refuge in My arms at all times, they will shield you protectively, carry you across cliffs and stony lanes, they will take loving care of you as long as you live on earth. Put your trust in Me always and forever, for I will push no-one away from Me, even if they are sinful .... I want to release you from sin and guilt, just come unto Me, all ye that labour and are heavily laden .... Call upon My mercy and I will answer your prayer, I will extend My hands to you to make your path to Me easy, for I want to help and heal you, I want to please the sick and weak who can no longer help themselves on their own, and you all shall recognise in Me the One Who has redeemed you because of His boundless love for you ....

Amen

Whatever you ask the Father in My name .... '

B.D. 6374 from October 10th 1955, taken from Book No. 68

And you will truly receive whatever you ask for in My name .... You have to call upon Me in Jesus Christ .... Only someone who acknowledges Me, the divine Redeemer Jesus Christ, who recognises his God and Father in Him and thus prays to the 'Father', will find his request granted, for he will be guided by My spirit to the One from Whom he once originated .... Whoever does not acknowledge Jesus, the Son of Man, as the heavenly Father's representative .... whoever does not believe that I embodied Myself in Jesus the human being, will not send a prayer to Me in complete trust either .... even if he doesn't deny a 'God', but instead his belief in a God and Creator was purely acquired and did not come alive in him .... For a living faith is the result of love, but love also acknowledges Jesus Christ as God's Son and Redeemer of the world, Who merged with His Father of eternity .... Thus he will no longer separate the Redeemer Jesus Christ from the Eternal Deity, he will have been enlightened by his spirit that He and I are one .... And his prayer will always be granted, for he will only ever request something I can give to him without damaging his soul ....

You humans will only be able to understand the true meaning of My Words if My spirit can work in you .... My spirit, however, can only work in you if you allow it to do so, if you, through a life of love, provide it with the opportunity to express itself to you .... But then you will accept My Word as if it was directly spoken to you, for then I will address My children and with My Word will also simultaneously give them the understanding for it .... And then you will be able to consider yourselves blessed, for your soul will receive light .... it will begin to understand, it will mature, for then you will also do everything I ask of you. You will comply with My will and shape yourselves increasingly more into love, and your soul will perfect itself while it is still on earth ....

Call upon Me in Jesus Christ and first of all pray to achieve this perfection on earth .... And truly, you will not make this prayer to Me in vain .... For hearing a spiritual request is most pleasing to Me, a spiritual request will be fulfilled, because the Father won't deny His child anything and because the human being already demonstrates his childship by appealing to Me for help to become perfect .... And always pray that you become and stay aware of My presence .... Then you will constantly walk your earthly path in company with your eternal Father, then you can never go wrong, then you will mentally dwell increasingly more in spiritual spheres and your progress will be assured. You could achieve so much if you remember My Word and conduct yourselves in accordance with My Words .... if you 'ask the Father in My name ....'

Earthly and spiritually you cannot make an inappropriate request, I will always grant your wishes, for I made this promise to you and I keep My Word. Call upon the divine Redeemer with Whom the Father united Himself .... Call to God in Jesus Christ .... Then you, too, will belong to the redeemed, then you will have penetrated the mystery of God's human manifestation .... For unredeemed people completely lack the belief that I embodied Myself in the human being Jesus .... But you demonstrate this belief when you ask 'the Father in My name' ....

Amen

Undoubting trust in God ....

B.D. 7417 from September 27th 1959, taken from Book No. 78

All your prayers will be granted to you if only you pray in the right way .... But as yet you do not know what to understand by the 'right way of praying'; otherwise you would live a completely carefree life on earth, because you would trust Me at all times. However, you lack this firm trust in Me, hence you cannot pray properly either, you doubt and still keep asking although you need only wait for help without doubting. Time and again tiny doubts still arise in you as to whether I will actually fulfil your requests, and then your prayer is already not as it should be in order to be granted. You should always know that My love for you is infinite and that love never denies itself .... If you pray in realisation of this, then you will also know that I cannot refuse anything you pray for, because My love wants to avert all difficulties from you, My love wants to make you happy, and My power is so great that nothing is impossible for Me, even if this seems impossible to you humans. Even so, you are unable to grasp My boundless love and this causes you to doubt, which weakens your trust in the fulfilment of your requests and thereby also restricts My working .... You only ever apply the yardstick which is applicable to you humans; you also limit My love because you have no idea what it means to love without limitation and to bestow limitless love. But no boundaries exist for Me, neither for My love nor My power, and therefore nothing is impossible for Me, just as I do not curtail My will to love those of you who pray to Me from the bottom of your hearts and with complete confidence that I will help, that I will grant your prayers. It is only your trust which must yet grow stronger .... the firm conviction that I hear your appeal and will come to help you, whatever it may be .... Your trust can overcome everything, since then you will only work with Me Myself and thus you will also be able to undertake what you want .... it will always be blessed by Me .... You will clearly feel My hand after heartfelt and trusting prayer to Me .... You will be guided as it will be in your best interest, and all worries will fall away from you, so that you can walk through earthly life cheerfully and unburdened, always holding on to My hand and never letting go again because you constantly unite with Me in prayer. By simply finding this heartfelt bond with Me, you will be able to pray correctly, then you will speak to Me in the simplest way and I will hear you and not prolong the moment in order to help My child .... However, you must trust Me .... I must insist on this because every doubt prevents Me from My activity of love in you .... given that it is an eternal law that love must not meet with resistance, but that a lack of trust constitutes resistance which prevents the strength of My love from becoming fully effective .... I Am concerned for each individual person's well-being and each individual person can speak to Me like a child speaks to its father .... Thus anyone who does that will truly be well taken care of for time and eternity, he will always and forever receive help, for as soon as the child places its trust in Me I can take effect in him according to his will. And only then will he be able to pray correctly in spirit and in truth, only then can he be certain that his prayers will be answered, for I will not deny Myself to anyone who fully and trustingly calls to Me for help ....

Amen

Dialogue with the Father .... His Word from above ....

B.D. 7441 from October 30th 1959, taken from Book No. 78

You must withdraw into solitude if you want to speak to Me .... I merely require you to withdraw from the world and into your closet and then turn your thoughts to Me alone .... so that you mentally detach yourselves from the world and all its requirements, so that you give no room in your heart to anything but Me and so that you approach Me in a childlike manner in order to hear Me and My Words. I want a prayer in spirit and in truth .... which necessitates that you completely detach yourselves from all worldly thoughts, it necessitates listening within, a silent dialogue with your Father and an attentive ear within for what answer your Father might give you. Your words will not remain without reply, if only you listen for it .... if you truly desire a dialogue, so that you address Me and subsequently wait for what I have to say to you in response .... This private dialogue with My child is exceedingly pleasing to Me, after all, the child is opening its heart to Me so that I can provide it with an answer which is intended only for the benefit of its soul. Yet I can never do this in the midst of the world, when the human being is distracted in every way from heartfelt thoughts of his eternal Father .... He can certainly send a quick prayer up to Me even in the midst of the world, and he will be well advised if he tries as often as possible to send a short thought to Me and thereby remains in constant contact with Me .... But a right prayer in spirit and in truth, when he may distinctly receive My Fatherly love, can only take place in the closet of his heart, in silent retreat and the heartfelt devotion of the child to its Father .... Then peace will enter the person's heart and he can hold a heart-to-heart talk with the Father .... and he will never regret spending any spare time in such silent dialogue, because I very gladly speak with My child and it will draw much benefit for its soul from every conversation.

Detaching himself from the world will often be difficult for a person, My adversary will hinder him from doing so in every possible way, time and again he will try to disturb or prevent it .... But the human being's will should be stronger and resist My adversary .... Then the person will receive strength and be able to accomplish his intention: to unite with Me in heartfelt prayer and to hear the Father's Words. Only an intimate bond like this will enable you humans to hear My Word from above through a fellow human being .... only a union in spirit and in truth makes it possible for My spirit to pour itself into an opened vessel .... And therefore, great blessings rest in this beginning, this intention of becoming receptive to Me and of allowing My flow of grace to pour into oneself. For countless souls participate in the transmission of My Word which also desire to hear the Father's voice and with heartfelt longing are waiting to be addressed by the Father .... You should all withdraw into solitude and listen .... And you may truly hear your Father's voice, it will sound to you like pleasing music, for that which comes from Me can only grant you happiness and blessing, that which comes from Me has to touch your souls like exquisite nourishment for which you long and which you will receive without limitation as soon as you desire it. Send a prayer up in spirit and in truth .... Lift your thoughts to Me and listen. And I will speak to you like a father speaks to his child, and your soul will cheer and rejoice at every Word that comes forth from the mouth of God ....

Amen

Abundance of grace .... Unchanging Fatherly love ....

B.D. 4399 from August 7th 1948, taken from Book No. 51

You receive an abundance of grace for as long as you receive My Word directly from Me. You cannot value this grace, for as human beings you lack the right concept the of the infinite love which is reflected in this gift, nor would you be able to endure the magnitude of My love on earth, were you capable of assessing its profundity. I speak to you .... a miracle is happening to you, an obvious disclosure of My love, omnipotence and wisdom, which is even noticeable to your fellow human beings .... You humans, being surrounded by earthly matter and, in fact, only capable of understanding material things, can enter into conversation with the greatest spirit of eternity; you can accept instructions which will stick with you even when you are completely in the material world again .... they have become your possessions, they are spiritual treasures which will never fade away. If you thus receive My Word you are embraced by the most faithful Fatherly love, it leans down to you, it gives itself to you and makes you indescribably wealthy, for to possess My love is the most desirable goal for My living creations, even if they cannot understand it as human beings. You hear Me and therefore I Am present to you. And if I Am with you, you can get everything from Me, I hear every plea, every call, and I will not deny you anything because I love you and prove this love to you by speaking to you, by being with you in the Word. Which father who loves his children would not grant their requests? Which child would not be happy being close to the father who loves it? I shower My children with an abundance of grace if they listen to Me and want to receive Words of love from Me. And I will not leave your side, I will always and forever remain close to you, for I will not abandon My children but strive for ever more heartfelt contact until they are inseparably untied with Me forever. The happiness of love is unknown to you, for you cannot endure it on earth. But this much you should know: there is nothing more blissful than fulfilled loved, love which gives itself, which does not deny itself and which strives for heartfelt unity .... I give this love to you, and although you cannot feel it, you nevertheless possess it if you receive My Word, if you attentively listen to what I say to you through the voice of the spirit. Then you will be embraced by the love of the Father, and it will never let go of you, for you came forth from My love and My love for you will not diminish in eternity, it will not change, it will remain as it was in the beginning, unchangeable, and it is yours for all eternity ....

Amen

God's language from Father to child .... Words of love ....

B.D. 5107 from April 18th 1951, taken from Book No. 57

I Am close to all of you, so close that you are able to hear Me if you carefully listen to My voice within. And it is understandable that I speak to you like a loving father speaks to his children, simple, plain and yet full of love, so that My children are familiar with Me and that they will also recognise Me as a Father Who loves His children. And because it is My will that they shall understand Me, My Words sound in their hearts such that they can be grasped by every child again, that they cannot be misunderstood and that they will make the child happy. My abundance of love would express itself quite differently were you able to endure it, but for as long as you still live on earth the sound of My voice is adapted to your state of soul, and depending on each individual person it sounds audibly in his heart or affects his soul like the breeze of a thought. I Myself Am with all those of you who can hear My voice, I Am present to you and speak to you Words of love, of comfort, of admonition, and I educate you .... For you will always feel My presence as a flow of grace and strength .... He who desires a lot will also receive a lot .... He who opens his heart to Me desiring My love will also receive its flow without measure, and My love manifests itself in the Word .... The fullness of My love gives itself, the light of My fire of love shines into the heart of the one who opens himself to Me and wants to hear Me. Light, however, is wisdom, and the profusion of divine wisdom is inexhaustible and offers ever new treasures to the one who reaches out for them. Yet spiritual wealth will always be offered to you in such a way that you can grasp it, because I want you to understand Me when I speak to you. Therefore the light can shine in all places, I will make no distinction in the distribution of My gifts wherever they are desired from Me and the love of a child's heart appeals to the Father for them. And so My children will always understand Me, otherwise they would not recognise the Father, but He wants to be recognised by the child. This is why My Word is the living water which pours forth from the spring so clear and unclouded that each person can refresh himself with it, because each person will find which he needs for the development of his soul .... consolation and comfort, love and wisdom, grace and strength .... For as long as you live on earth you are still immature little children to whom I can and will only give according to their ability to receive My Word of love and wisdom. And thus you, too, should only ever consider yourselves as children and with gratitude accept everything you are offered by the most faithful Fatherly love .... Don't ask for spiritual nourishment you are as yet incapable of enduring, for spiritual knowledge you don't need on earth, you should not ask to ascertain the works of My omnipotence until you have gained the spiritual maturity which enables your spiritual vision .... Be satisfied with what I give to you, what I deem beneficial for you and what My love has in store for the children who have established the right relationship with Me and therefore allow Me to be present Myself .... Pray to Me like children and gratefully receive the gifts which are bestowed upon you by My Fatherly love as often as you desire them ....

Amen

God as a Father, friend and brother seeks to attract love ....

B.D. 4109 from August 22nd 1947, taken from Book No. 50

I want to be a loving Father to you, a wise guide and advisor, a faithful friend and brother, I want to give you everything you need on earth both psychologically and physically, I constantly want to care for you and you shall never feel abandoned by Me; I want to stand by your side in every adversity and protect you from all onslaughts by your enemies, be they spiritual or earthly, I want to shower you with an abundance of gifts of grace and you shall always recognise My love which I have felt for you since the very beginning and which will not diminish in all eternity .... Nevertheless, I expect you to entrust yourselves unto Me, to strive towards Me, to love Me like a child loves its father. If this love belongs to Me, then I can take hold of you with My strength of love and completely gain you forever. And I ceaselessly seek to attract this love. This is why I will try to guide you into truth, into recognising Me Myself and My eternal plan of salvation, for you first need to know that you are My living creations and the relationship you have as My living creations with Me, the eternal Creator. You must be aware of the great responsibility towards Me and live accordingly, so that you will find grace before My eyes. Your heart must impel you to do so, only then will I recognise your love and then you will belong to My Own whom I have promised My kingdom, for then you will look for Me and when you have found Me never let go of Me again; you will seek the union with Me and appeal to Me for strength because you recognise Me as your Lord and Creator. And you will humbly approach Me, and you will be as it is pleasing to Me, full of love and truth, portraying your problems to the Father with a childlike quality. And I will grant your prayers, I will fulfil your every request because My love for you manifests itself such that I want to make you happy while you are still on earth and one day in eternity .... Therefore you must listen to My Word, for you learn to recognise Me through My Word as soon as you accept My Word in your heart, think about it and subsequently live as it pleases Me. Then you will love Me as well and see your bliss in being in possession of My love for you. In that case I can come to you Myself, I can make you happy through My presence now and forever .... I can provide you with spiritual gifts depending on your worthiness; I can receive you in My kingdom once you have finished your life on earth, and make you blissfully happy for all eternity ....

Amen

God's boundless love .... Igniting love in the human being ....

B.D. 6750 from January 31th 1957, taken from Book No. 72

My love for you is boundless .... You, however, can only grasp limited things; you would be incapable of enduring My love were you to receive its full radiance, and so I will only ever let My ray of love shine upon you to the degree which your own degree of love allows for .... My love is boundless .... Yet although you hear these Words you are not capable of understanding what they mean. But you can deduce from these Words that I will not abandon you, that I will not stop until I have won you over for Me, even if it takes an infinitely long time. The measure you use will always be limited, because your intellectual capacity is limited as long as you are still imperfect. But I .... being supremely perfect .... will never curb My love, wisdom and power if I thereby attain My goal of your becoming My children who can subsequently create and work with Me in all perfection. But My wisdom also realises that an unlimited degree of love and power is detrimental to you and therefore both My love as well as My power exert restraint. But you can determine the measure yourselves, for as soon as you ask you will receive, and if you ask for much you will also receive much and you can also receive without limitation .... as soon as your faith and your love for Me allows for it .... Can you now understand that you are also capable of achieving seemingly unnatural feats if you request My love and power for them? I give to you what you desire if it concerns spiritual possessions, things which prove to you My infinite love .... if it concerns light and strength which you humans lack but which are at your disposal without limitation .... And the strength of your faith, the depth of your love for Me, will then shape you such that an abundance of strength of love will no longer harm you but will constantly make you more perfect, thus also more receptive. Thus you now know that I Am willing to give to you without limitation but that I cannot do so until you yourselves allow for it through your living faith .... For this reason you cannot do anything better than to awaken your faith to life and to approach Me with an open heart which may then receive without end. Yet the precondition for this is love, and to ignite it in you and to constantly increase its radiance is the human being's real task on earth which, however, can certainly be achieved by every person if it is his will. I cannot release any person from this precondition because without love the human being will remain imperfect, since love itself is the strength which enables his every achievement. The human being need only strive towards his fundamental nature of love again, because he originated from the Eternal Love. Consequently, only a person who shapes himself into love can reach his goal on earth .... He can attain it because My love incessantly provides him with opportunities of kind-hearted activity, and because a tiny spark of My strength of love lays dormant in him, thus he was not created to be entirely insensitive but can experience love if he does not deliberately stifle this spark in him .... if he does not resist every warm feeling arising in him. Each person will always be guided by Me such that he will come across plenty of situations in everyday life which appeal to his heart, in which he can live up to this impulse of love and thereby kindle the tiny indwelling spark. The benefit of kind-hearted activity for his fellow human being will also be felt by the latter and only totally hardened people will remain unimpressed but can change at any time, since the love of a fellow human being is capable of achieving this. Only love is true life, and for as long as a person lacks love, he is dead. My love, however, is boundless and thus will not rest until it can bestow life upon you. My love will always illuminate you and try to enter your heart, but it will only ever take effect to the extent you allow for yourselves. Love does not compel, it is something infinitely joyful as soon as it shines on an equally loving heart. Then the Eternal Love will unite Itself with you, I will permeate My living creation which no longer offers resistance to Me and it will have entered its original state again, it will have become love once more. And so the divine being, having attained this divinity voluntarily, will have become My child which I can permeate with My boundless love, which can create and work with Me in My will and which will live forever in blissful happiness ....

Amen

Fatherly Words of love ....

B.D. 2752 from May 24th 1943, taken from Book No. 34/35/36

Simply remain devoted to Me in love, then you will have nothing to fear, regardless of what will happen. And do not forget that I Am in control of your destiny, that everything that comes upon you is good. Do not forget that My love arranges your life such that it will benefit your higher development. Believe in My love, then you will also understand everything, you will patiently endure even the most difficult situation and confidently expect My help if life seems unbearable to you. After all, My love and My will only intend to bring about your perfection, and My wisdom knows the means and ways for you; therefore trust Me that I only have your spiritual well-being at heart and will not send you anything which would not benefit the latter. Become like little children, let yourselves be guided by Me without hesitation, always hoping and believing that I will not let you take the wrong path, even if the path is stony and laborious. Your soul will thank Me one day that I let you suffer during your life on earth. What is the short earthly life compared to eternity .... where glories await you which for you, as human beings, are beyond your imagination. Why do you despair if you believe in Me? ..... I Am Love .... and love would truly not let you suffer if you did not need this suffering for your soul .... I let you suffer because I love you and want to help you, and because you will not find the path to Me by any other means. Your path is thorny and laborious, yet the wide passable path does not lead to Me, instead, it leads into My adversary's camp, and My love can never allow you to enter this path which will inevitably lead to disaster. Trust Me and willingly hand yourselves over to Me, take the cross upon you and appeal to Me to help you carry it; don't become disheartened and despondent but be glad that, through suffering, you become aware of My love which you shall recognise in all distress. Be patient and wait for My help which is certain to come if only you believe .... And if you are overcome by weakness, if you waver in faith, then pray .... Call upon Me for strength, send merely a thought up to Me and commend yourselves to My grace .... I will truly not leave you without comfort, I will strengthen you and your soul will rejoice. For it will feel My presence and experience the strength it receives from a heartfelt prayer to Me. For as long as you can enter into a dialogue with Me, you will not be lonely and forsaken, for I will always hear you and I Am constantly concerned that your soul shall mature as long as you still live on earth. And I will help you, even if your body does not feel this help ..... My help applies to that which is immortal, because this immortal part belongs to Me and thus shall also attain Me. And so you should recognise My love at all times and humbly accept everything from My hand, be it joy or suffering .... Your adversity on earth can be called small compared to the adversity in the beyond, which I want to spare you by treating you harshly on earth. Be faithful and trust Me .... One day you will realise that I was only motivated by love to send such immense suffering upon the earth, that I made you learn the hard way in order to win you over for My kingdom, in order to help you gain eternal life in blissful happiness in this kingdom. As long as you are still burdened by earthly difficulties you do not recognise your Father's love completely, yet I call to you with comforting Words: Don't let go of your love for Me, so that My love will be able to take hold of you and compensate you a thousand fold for all earthly suffering and adversities .... Take refuge in Me, so that I can help you carry your suffering and don't despair, for your life on earth won't last forever .... I will finish it when your hour has come and call your soul to Me ....

Amen

Earthly worry unnecessary .... God's Fatherly love ....

B.D. 4414 from August 22nd 1948, taken from Book No. 51

Why do you worry about your earthly life which I have shaped for each one of you from the very beginning? You cannot change it in the slightest, because My will has determined it as My wisdom judged to be good for you, and whatever comes upon you will be beneficial for you. Therefore travel your earthly path without worry, for every day goes according to My will, and every happening was intended from the start. However, this is not to say that you should do nothing and neglect your earthly task, for this also belongs to your designated destiny, and all activity results in blessings. But do not worry about the outcome of your actions; and thus you may also place all burdens upon Me which I will gladly carry for you; you may confide your every wish to Me, express all considerations, I want to relieve you from every anxiety, for you shall travel your earthly path calmly and cheerfully, because whatever may come upon you, I know every incident and have predetermined it, and what I do is truly right. All worry is unnecessary once you have handed yourselves over to Me, once you have commended yourselves to Me and My grace. Then I, as your Father, will take care of your every worry, My children. Your soul, however, you must take care of yourselves .... This is a worry I cannot take from you, I can only advise you and offer you every opportunity, which you should use for your soul's salvation. The more you take care of it, the less you need to worry about the well-being of your body, because I will take care of that, as I have promised. And by this you shall also recognise the truth of My Word, that I will meet your every need which you, as My children, will have, for as such your requirements will be small, whereas the children of the world make great demands, which I must deny you for your own sakes. Yet I will not let My children starve, for they shall always recognise the love of their Father in Heaven, and in realisation of My love they shall trust Me and their faith shall become so strong that I can give them everything they request, for the sake of their profound faith ....

Amen

Strokes of fate .... The Father's love ....

B.D. 6277 from June 6th 1955, taken from Book No. 67

My care pursues you with never changing love, for I don't want your downfall but your happiness .... I want your salvation from darkness and your admission into light. This is why I will not throw you into misery and hardship for any other motive than to aid your ascent, because you still languish in darkness and cannot muster the strength to ascend on your own. But My methods and their effectiveness are unknown to you, and you are easily inclined to believe that I Am cruel .... Yet believe in My love and believe that My action is only ever motivated by love, that with every event I only ever intend your beatitude .... Only I know the outcome of such events, only I know which path you would have followed without My strokes of fate .... and only I know when such a path will lead you astray. And what I then allow to happen to prevent it is only ever based on My love and will have beneficial results even if this seems incomprehensible to you humans.

Thus, the last days before the end urgently require painful interventions on My part, and they will repeat themselves many a time, My hand will increasingly have to solve problems and there will be much suffering and mourning, but souls will also be rescued, people will be evidently directed to the One Who holds everyone's fate in His hands .... even though they will then only fear Him since they will be unable to love Him .... but they will acknowledge Him, they will believe in a God and Controller of heaven and earth .... And this belief can show them the way forward if they are of good will .... My love belongs to the smallest creature and I alone safeguard all life so that one day it will enter the stage of free will and be able to fulfil its last task on earth .... But how much more will I look after those who have already reached this stage so that they do not regress and will not have walked their earthly path in vain ....

But I also recognise the obstacles on every person's earthly path. And I know whether a human being will rise above this hurdle or whether he is in danger of failing .... And therefore I pursue him with My care and pull him back or continue to guide him onto another path .... But I will never want his downfall .... Besides, you should know that I Am always a considerate Father .... and that My Fatherly care is truly more valuable for the earthly human being than any person's care for his fellow human being ....

You should always hold on to this when you doubtfully question yourselves as to how I can allow children to become orphans, families to be deprived of their provider, the most precious possession to be taken away from people .... I can give comfort to everyone, I can take all worries from them, and I Am a Father to all who are lonely and abandoned .... yet they have to find their way to Me .... And this is what I intend, that they establish a relationship with Me in utmost adversity .... For of what use are words which confess faith in Me if they are not turned into action, if people don't come to Me when earthly suffering threatens to depress them .... The living faith will be a true support for people .... but a dead faith will awaken one doubt after another about God's love and omnipotence .... And every human being is confronted by hours of intense hardship .... Then they shall take their path to Me and I will truly help them in their distress ....

I Am the only One who can take but also give. And if you humans know this then you should also believe that I can heal the wounds I have inflicted on you for the sake of your beatitude .... believe firmly and without doubt that not everything you regard as good and useful will always lead to beatitude .... My ways are often different but they will certainly lead to the goal. Always come to Me in this belief, and you may then experience My love because you believe in Me ....

Amen

God's infinite love .... Sacrifice on the cross ....

B.D. 6331 from August 11th 1955, taken from Book No. 68

Love will never end .... Let these Words be a comfort for you even in the most difficult situation of life, for as soon as you believe in a God of Love, you will also know that He will not leave you in your adversity, for since you are His children you can also be certain that your Father will also constantly give you His love .... Believe in My never-ending love which belongs to you for all eternity .... then you will be comforted in your suffering and have the strength to endure, to overcome all difficulties, for love will not let you down. And if you find it difficult to believe in the love of a powerful God, if you begin to doubt that He will help you .... then remember Jesus Christ's crucifixion .... He died for you on the cross and only did so out of greater than great love for you humans, for He was aware of your suffering, which is the result of sin, and wanted to release you from this suffering, which you had caused yourselves through the sin of your past rejection of Me .... Only His immense love motivated Him to accomplish this act of Salvation .... Jesus, the human being, was full of love, for I Myself dwelled in Him .... And this love wanted to deliver you from sin and death. Do you believe that My love would ever be able to end, which proved to you that it has taken upon itself the most difficult burden and carried it for you? I Myself was unable to give you the visible proof of My love, this is why Jesus, the man, did it for Me .... A soul of light came down to Earth because it loved you humans as its fallen brothers .... because every perfect being is full of love which comes forth from Me and permeates it .... And this love will not stop in eternity .... Hence you humans must not worry that I will withdraw My love from you and do not jump to the wrong conclusions when you see so much around you which appears to show the evidence to the contrary of My love .... All people are My living creations which I want to lead to beatitude, yet all take different paths and I must also consider them differently, My guidance is not always the same but the goal is and forever will be the same .... And I will certainly achieve it, even if the length of time people need varies on account of their free will .... Believe that I Am love but I Am also wisdom .... and believe that I know full well what each individual person needs for his salvation .... Nevertheless, you should also know that I take a greater interest in the salvation of his soul than in his physical well-being, although I will also support anyone in earthly distress if he comes to Me with complete faith and appeals to the Father as a true child .... Then his prayer will be granted miraculously, because a faithful child can get anything from Me... Just do not revolt .... Do not defy My love but bow down to Me and My will .... For I truly only do what is right .... I only do what will be a blessing for you ....

Amen

God's constant care for the human being ....

B.D. 6338 from August 22nd 1955, taken from Book No. 68

How often do I come close to you humans, how often do I speak to you, how often do I pull you back from danger and offer you My guidance on your path of life .... But rarely do you recognise Me. My obvious guidance is regarded by you as mere coincidence and My Words do not reach your hearts, you are unable to recognise Me because you have set you sights beyond Me towards the world. Yet My care pursues you. And even if you live within in the midst of worldly commotion I will nevertheless not leave your side, I will just wait for the moment when you notice Me so that you voluntarily place yourselves under My protection .... so that, amid the joys of the world, you still feel your hardship and look for the One Who pursues you and Who can help you. I will not stop revealing Myself to people .... Even if success is very slight, if it is scarcely perceptible .... I take notice of the faintest willingness to approach Me, and then I will never ever leave his side again ....

My love motivates Me into not abandoning you, even if you spend your earthly life in utmost indifference and don't try to find a bond with Me. Yet I do not force your willingness to hear Me, and this is why My Words are so soft and unobtrusive that you can easily not hear them if you don't take any notice of Me. They don't sound as loud as the voice of the world which therefore finds your full attention. And because your will shall turn to Me of its own accord I will never show Myself conspicuously but neither will I leave you without small contacts, I gently push you onto paths where you, lonely and weak, look around for help in order to then be able to emerge and offer My help to you .... I do not exclude anyone of you humans as long as he has not yet found and recognised Me, and since there is not much time left until the end people will have to cover shorter paths and these are far more arduous and laborious, because I want them to need and request My guidance.

Strokes of fate will increase; people will still have to endure much adversity and misery because they are further removed from Me than ever, even if I pursue them wherever they go .... Until the end of their life I will not abandon them, and My blows will become ever more severe in order to shake them out of their indifference, yet their reactions are not determined by Me, nevertheless, one day they will determine their fate in the spiritual kingdom .... For their will is and shall remain free, and even My greater than great love does not determine a resolve which chooses death although it would have been able to acquire eternal life ....

Amen

Loving Fatherly Words .... Guidance ....

B.D. 4704 from August 4th 1949, taken from Book No. 54

You can always entrust yourselves to My guidance, and you will also always feel it if you are observant. You will not take one step on your own as long as you don’t exclude Me from your thoughts, as long as you endeavour to live with and for Me, as long as you consciously strive towards Me. Thus recognise in every happening My guidance, My hand, and place your trust in Me, for anyone who chooses Me as His confidante will truly find the most loyal friend, the most loving bridegroom, the most caring Father and Protector, Who cannot be replaced by anyone on earth but Who also wants to be loved by you in the same way as He loves you. I will always walk next to you once you have chosen Me as your guide, and I will truly guide you on the right path once I have taken over the care for you, then everything will approach you such that it will help your soul to progress. If you can bring this faith in you to life you will truly take your path on earth without worry and in peace, for I will look after you and have arranged everything in the best possible way. Everything will serve a good purpose; even adversity and suffering will benefit your soul if you carry Me in your hearts, thus, if you mentally stay in contact with Me and don’t want to lose Me. For only this will makes you dear and valuable to Me, and once a person has adopted this will, he will never lose Me again, I will be close to him and he shall constantly feel My love and care. He will never be alone and forsaken, he will always find the confidante in Me Whom he can talk to at all times and Who will always find Words of love and of comfort for him and forever stand by his side with advice and practical support ....

God's infinite Fatherly love ....

B.D. 7353 from May 3rd 1959, taken from Book No. 78

My love will carry you across all obstacles if only you entrust yourselves to Me and want nothing else but to fulfil My will .... because My love for you is boundless, and were you able to imagine the degree of My love, truly, you would no longer experience any hardship or worry since you would know that I will keep My hands over you and protect and bless you. However, your anxious doubts keep Me away from you so that the full strength My love cannot take effect. And I must allow this to happen if I don't want to restrict your will, which must aim towards Me in complete freedom .... But although I keep telling you that I love you with all fervour and that you have nothing to fear .... you must ponder these Words within yourselves, for only then can their effect permeate you and make you truly happy .... Imagine a Father Who faithfully guides His children by their hand and will not allow dangers to approach them. A Father's love is truly selfless and only wants to make the child happy, but the child must also fearlessly stay close to the Father, it must not distance itself from Him and want to take its own paths; it must listen when it is called by the Father and must do what the Father asks. And this is what you should do as well by living up to My commandments, which I only gave to you so that I can make you indescribably happy. If you comply with My commandments of love for God and your neighbour, you will also give Me great pleasure, for then you will voluntarily return to Me, you will voluntarily take hold of My hand and let yourselves be led on your future path of life. From that moment on you will be released from all hardship and worry, because I will take care of these for you, because I will deal with everything on your behalf, because My power and strength will carry you across everything that seems to hamper you on your way towards ascent. Just imagine often and sincerely that I hold you by your hand and watch over you .... that I love you and that I Am concerned for you to mature .... that I will not abandon you to My adversary once you turn to Me of your own free will .... Try to penetrate the nature of My Divinity ever more deeply, Which is Love Itself .... And you will feel more and more that a God of love will not want your misfortune, that it will therefore be kept at bay if you merely follow Him .... if you merely take My hand, which I will always extend to you if you walk alone, and walk with Me. My eyes constantly watch over you and recognise all dangers .... Do you really believe that My love will leave you unprotected in such dangers? Do you think that I would let you walk alone even if you wanted it? I follow you because I know you and your hearts and because I know that you belong to Me as a result of your will. But you will be put under pressure and burdened for as long as you walk alone without taking My hand, and you will experience problems which shall remind you of Me and make you call for Me .... And I will be with you in every adversity of body and soul, for My love is always close to you and only waits for your call in order to walk by your side again and to provide you with reliable protection, which will make you feel safe and secure because you will then be walking consciously next to Me. Don't lose this consciousness of My presence .... Time and again you should turn your thoughts to Me, and time and again you should think of the One Who follows you with tireless love and patience, Who wants to possess you completely, to Whom you should hand yourselves over in complete faith that He will lead you out of all adversity ....

Amen

'You truly have a Father' .... Father and child relationship ....

B.D. 5699 from June 16th 1953, taken from Book No. 62

Nothing would be impossible for you if you united yourselves with Me, if you appealed to Me for strength .... if you thus let Me Myself work through you. You just do not have sufficient faith as yet, and as long as you doubt you are preventing Me yourselves from working in accordance with your will. Yet you should try to gain this faith. Place yourselves into the position of talking to Me with childlike trust, so that you really feel like children who come to the Father in every difficulty, be it of a spiritual or earthly nature. Were you able to establish this relationship with Me you would no longer doubt that I would grant your request. For if you address Me as your Father you will also be convinced of My love which turns to My children and grants them help in every adversity. You truly have a Father, you are not orphaned children, you have One Who knows your difficulties and worries, Who only wants to be called upon because He desires the love of His children and wants to respond to it .... How richly blessed you are indeed .... You have a Father in heaven Who is stronger than all the powers in the world, Who therefore can also avert everything that affects you on part of the world .... And because you have such a powerful and loving Father nothing is impossible for you either, because I always will stand by you with My strength, because you only have to believe firmly in order to prompt Me into expressing My power. As long as you are distant from Me you will also be helpless, but as soon as you establish a heartfelt connection with Me My strength will have to flow over to you, and then you will achieve and be able to do everything, and there will be no restriction for you, for all limitations disappear where My strength is being used. Just have absolute faith in your heavenly Father's love and all worries will dwindle, they will always be removed at the right time, because you determine the time yourselves by the strength of your faith ....

Amen

I want to bless your work and guide your thoughts and grant that you will act according to My will. Therefore give your spiritual work priority over your earthly occupation, which I then will also bless and provide you with spiritual support where earthly strength seems to be insufficient. And since I bless you everything will succeed, since I bless you, you cannot be attacked by evil forces, for My blessing erects a protective shield behind which you can feel secure, a protective shield which disperses everything which is hostile, because My protective hand is upon you as long as you work for Me and My kingdom .... I want to be a good caretaker to all of you as soon as you work as My servants in My vineyard, as soon as you are of service to Me and aim to extend My kingdom on earth .... And you shall not lack anything, I will furnish you with strength, and you will thus carry out your redemption work for which I appointed you in the last days before the end ....

Amen

The Head of the house takes care of all worries ....

B.D. 7901 from May 26th 1961, taken from Book No. 82

Just entrust yourselves unto Me and My guidance, and whatever you do or don't do will be right before Me .... you will take the paths on which you can successfully work for Me and My kingdom .... You will serve Me according to My will, for then I will always be able to take effect in and through you. It only requires your dedication to Me and your earthly path will not be a standstill, it will lead to the goal. And I still have much work for you before the end arrives .... I still want to bring salvation to many people in their spiritual adversity and need you for this, because it is easier for you to approach those who have not found the path to Me yet. And because I need you, I will also take care that you can work for Me in peace .... I will shape your earthly fate such that it will be endurable for you, that you can use all your strength for Me and thus be of service to Me according to My will. For your total dedication to Me will also allow Me to look after you and to guide you, so that you can accomplish the work for Me, so that you will be impelled from within to work according to My will. So be content with My assurance that I will take care of your every worry .... The Head of the house will have the wellbeing of His loyal servants at heart .... But the Father will also faithfully watch over His children and take loving care of them .... And you should know that everything is arranged according to the mission you freely accepted, for this mission is extremely important and significant, since much redemptive work will still have to be done before the end .... by offering your fellow human beings My Word on My behalf, because I cannot speak to them Myself as yet and thus it has to happen though you, so that they will not go astray .... For many people want to believe but cannot find the right spiritual knowledge which will lead them into a living faith .... Bringing them My Word and drawing their attention to a God and Creator, Who also wants to be their Father, is a truly grateful task which can have an impact for all eternity .... Even if it only saves one soul from repeating their progression through the works of creation .... the work in My vineyard will not have been in vain and will result in your spiritual as well as earthly blessings .... But because I can speak to you Myself, you are in possession of invaluable spiritual knowledge, spiritual knowledge which affects each willing soul, which can guide it into faith so that it will be saved forever .... And you may pass on this spiritual knowledge; you may repeatedly receive My gifts of grace anew and work with them .... You are in possession of delectable seed which you can disseminate, and you will truly serve Me as faithful servants if you fulfil My will and carry the Gospel throughout the world .... Therefore you can believe that I will prepare the paths you are meant to take .... You can believe that I will always grant you support, that you can come to Me as your Head of the house with even the smallest request and I will truly remove your every worry .... You can believe that I will take the worries upon Myself as long as you are of service to Me, as long as you take an interest in working for Me and My kingdom. Consequently, you should let go of all worries which still get you down in an earthly way, for I want you to recognise that you have a Father Who loves you .... that you are of service to a good Lord .... that I watch over you because you are of service to Me, and that I bless your work for Me and My kingdom ....

Amen

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

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

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

Amen

Fatherly Words of love ....

B.D. 3532 from September 1st 1945, taken from Book No. 45

You have a powerful Helper by your side, and yet you still want to lose heart? You may approach Me in prayer at all times by merely using this grace and you will call Me to your side and you will assuredly receive support. Regardless of the danger you find yourselves in .... My power is greater and can banish every calamity in an instant. Bear this in mind if you are at risk of feeling anxious and fainthearted. Your Father in Heaven will not abandon you, in a crisis He is closer to you than ever as long as you consider yourselves His children and trustingly call upon Him for help. Time and again I assure you of My protection, time and again I lift you up through My Word, and time and again I impart upon you the strength to resist evil. And My love will embrace you more closely than ever if you suffer adversity of body and soul and take refuge in Me in full confidence that I will help you. You may always consider yourselves safe and secure when the world around you runs riot, when earthly measure frighten you and make you tremble .... Then you need simply stretch out your hand to Me so that I will guide you, and I will take you along a path that leads away from disaster .... For I will walk beside you, and the power of evil will truly not come close to Me. He avoids Me and chooses people who walk in darkness like himself and ignores those who walk by My side in the light and who are therefore out of reach for him. Believe and trust in Me and don't allow earthly adversities to get you down. Only pay attention to your souls and let Me worry about your earthly life .... and give Me the right to take care of you by totally handing your will over to Me. And your life on earth will be bearable for you .... For I Am always with you as long as you send your thoughts up to Me and desire to be in contact with Me. I will call My little sheep when I have found them, when they have returned to their shepherd, I will not let them go astray again, I will stay with all those who want to stay with Me and will never ever leave them again. So if I give you this assurance, why are you still worried? My Word is truth and will remain truth for all eternity. I always draw close to My children with all My love as soon as the slightest call reaches Me, and therefore you should always come to Me if you labour and are heavily laden .... My love is always willing to give, My love is always willing to help, I can help you and I want to help you, I only require your faith, your trust, so that My strength of love can take effect ....

Amen

Faithful trust ensures God's help ....

B.D. 5940 from April 24th 1954, taken from Book No. 64

I Am close to you .... Just a thought will call Me to you, and you can confide all your worries and problems to Me .... I hear you and Am always willing to help. However, you must place your trust in Me .... You must believe that you, as My children, are always embraced by My love, that I will never leave you to your own devices but always watch over you like a good father looks after his children. In that case you can rest entirely assured that nothing will harm you, that everything that is destined to approach you will be good for your soul. But your faithful call to Me will also ward off what seems unbearable to you, for My love cannot deny you anything if you trustingly ask Me for it. But if you doubt My love or My power you will make it impossible for Me to grant your prayer. Nevertheless, I will not disappoint a strong faith .... Therefore I will always admonish you: Make sure that you gain strong faith .... make sure that your faith comes alive through love .... This is My constant instruction, My constant wake-up call, because love is the only solution to dispose of all adversity, since through a life of love you will gain such strong faith that you will subsequently be able to banish all adversity .... You truly would not have to suffer or endure earthly distress if you had the strength of faith at your disposal which is the result of selfless kind-hearted activity. Then the purpose of your earthly life of changing your nature into love and, through love, being in heartfelt contact with Me, would have been fulfilled already .... since My presence rules out all adversity. Yet you humans are still weak in faith and thus also weak in love .... For this reason you should always turn to Me with a request for help to strengthen you. Request the strength you are lacking and believe that I will help you because I love you and want to gain your love as well. The heartfelt union with Me through prayer will assure you My support, and even if there are days and hours in your life when you are fainthearted and want to despair .... you are never forsaken by your Father in Heaven, and He will always help when the time is right ....

Amen

John 14 .... 'I will not leave you comfortless ....'

B.D. 7702 from September 17th 1960, taken from Book No. 81

I will not leave you comfortless .... I will look after you as a Father and provide you with the evidence of My Fatherly love .... It is not My will that you should go on living on earth without guidance, that you are defencelessly left to My adversary's mercy who will instantly approach you when he discovers that you are abandoned. I love you because you are My children who once emerged from Me and left the right path, albeit voluntarily, but I will nevertheless not withhold My love from them. And My Fatherly love will only endeavour that you return to your Father's house again .... For this reason I will assume your guidance, providing you do not obstinately oppose Me, that you willingly allow yourselves to be guided by Me. But in that case you will be under divine care and nothing can happen to you, you need not feel as orphans who are alone in the world and are therefore often in danger as well. It is My love that I gather My lambs so that they will not stray all over the place, that I coax and call them as a good Shepherd Who does not want to lose even one of his sheep. My sheep know the voice of their Shepherd, they follow Him and He will lead them home, He will protect His flock from the enemy, who approaches time and again in order to cause confusion and to scatter the little sheep wherever he can. Then My coaxing call will ring out because I won't abandon them to My enemy .... I will pursue those who have lost their way or are in danger of falling into the abyss .... For I do not want to lose any one of My sheep because I love them .... And thus no-one need be afraid of being abandoned, for I take care of everyone who suffers adversity, who is alone and depends on help .... I Am close to all who merely think of Me, who entrust themselves to Me in their distress .... And, like a good shepherd, I will treat all those who have distanced themselves from Me and who shall be guided back with coaxing calls of love to their origin .... 'I will not leave you comfortless ....' This is My promise to you, and thus you can confidently count on My protection, you can always avail yourselves of My help, for you know that there is One Who wants to be and remain your Father for all eternity .... And you should entrust yourselves to this Father, regardless of what troubles you. Then He will take you by your hand and safely guide you through all difficulties, He will give you strength to surmount all obstacles, He will even out your paths so that you will safely reach your goal, so that you will find Me and stay with Me forever. For all of you are My children who once left the Father's house but who shall return again and can only achieve this with My help .... They need not feel helpless, for as a loving Father I furnish My children with strength so that they will be able to travel the path to their true home .... so that they will return to Me, to their Father of eternity ....

Amen
