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.

Call to spiritual work in the coming time of need ....

B.D. 5008 from November 26th 1950, taken from Book No. 56

I want to make Myself known to you in earthly and spiritual adversity. You shall always feel Me, you shall always be aware of My presence and I will strengthen you when you become weak. You only have a short time left which you should spend in silent work for Me and My kingdom; but then greater demands will approach you, earthly as well as spiritually, for every earthly adversity also makes the spiritual work more urgent, because you should help your fellow human beings who are not aware of the cause and purpose of the suffering which befalls people. Then you will obviously feel My help, then you will also give Me the opportunity to reveal Myself to you through your faith and your love for your fellow human beings, so that you will be certain of My everlasting presence and can draw strength from this awareness for every activity. Soon your time will have come, the time when you can openly work for Me and My kingdom, the time when the hardship around you drives you to eager activity and you feel called by Me in your heart to work in My vineyard. Then speak where the opportunity is offered to you, speak when your heart urges you to do so, for I will lead the people to you who need My working through you. Then My blessing will be visibly with you and your paths will be smoothed so that you will not be hindered in your work for the spiritual kingdom. The hour when I fetch you home will still come soon enough, but before that I still have much work for you and need your full commitment so that this work can still be done before the end comes. Nothing will seem unusual what you undertake, but you yourselves will feel My hand and all who are of awakened spirit likewise. Yet nothing unusual will happen in front of the world, for of their own free will people shall listen to you and let your words have an effect on them, and you and they will often be offered the opportunity to do so, for the earthly situation itself contributes towards fellow human beings not remaining closed if you bring My gospel to them, and they prefer to receive it from your mouth, they listen to you because you speak to them in a living way and are permeated by the truth of it yourselves. You will still have much work to do but you will never be without help .... But until I call you, work in silence and your work will be blessed ....

Amen

Groundwork for the teaching of the natural intervention of God

God’s word truth .... God's intervention ....

B.D. 3475 from May 3rd 1945, taken from Book No. 45

In no way will you be disappointed, for My word is truth and will remain truth forever. Yet you must be patient, for My patience is also great, and every day is still a gift of grace for you who will lose your life prematurely; every day is an opportunity to strengthen your faith which will let you overcome everything that is coming more easily, who, as survivors after My intervention, still have the task to help the souls of your fellow human beings. But My announcement is fulfilled to the letter .... I would only refrain from doing so if humanity changed, if the time of adversity brought about the change beforehand and people would seek Me .... But they are far from it .... their thoughts are more earthly than ever and they do not recognize Me despite My call, My admonitions and warnings .... And I foresaw this low from eternity, and therefore the coming event is determined from eternity, and everything will come to pass as I have proclaimed to you through the voice of the spirit. In anxious distress you will hover and believe yourselves to be abandoned by Me, yet I am close to you .... I will not leave you forever if only you remember Me .... With every thought of Me you call Me to you, and I hear the slightest call and comply with it, I constantly walk beside you and accompany you on all your paths when your hearts beat towards Me. And therefore do not fear but rejoice that you yourselves determine My nearness or My remoteness, and make use of this .... Call upon Me often and intimately and I will be with you and protectively spread My hands over you. But trust and believe, accept My word into your heart and live accordingly, don't let doubts arise and have patience .... The day will come sooner than you think and it will be terrible .... For I will show Myself in all power and everything will be in turmoil. And then remain strong and trust in Me, for I will not forsake My own and they will feel My nearness. The world may act according to its discretion, people may let their will become active in the wrong direction .... I direct world events after all and overthrow all people's plans .... and they shall recognize it as My work, and if they don't believe in Me they shall nevertheless recognize their own powerlessness in the face of the power they don't want to attribute to Me Myself .... But make use of the time and prepare yourselves, take everything upon yourselves in patience, for you can only mature if you overcome all opposition and recognize it as My will. I only aim at your spiritual maturing, for I want to win you for eternity. And thus strengthen yourselves at all times through My word and wait in patience until I manifestly express Myself .... Your path is marked out and you have to walk it to the end, yet I will never leave you without strength, I will never withdraw My love and grace from you .... And thus you will be able to master everything if only you ask Me for My grace, if you always and constantly call upon Me so that I can guide you through all dangers until the end of your life .... For your life is no longer long ....

Amen

Admonition to work for God .... Catastrophe ....

B.D. 3713 from March 14th 1946, taken from Book No. 47

You will clearly and perceptively hear the inner voice which will call you to work for My kingdom when the hour of your action for Me has come. Then you should not hesitate but follow the voice and let Me take you to those whom you are to teach in My name. The immense adversity will be the best spokesman on My behalf, for it will, if only temporarily, open hearts for Me and you will be listened to more readily than ever before. People were left without inner resistance by the previous huge natural event which had deprived them of everything that was dear to them. The task you must diligently comply with in order to first provide spiritual help for your fellow human beings is to explain to them the immense adversity by portraying it as My final means of help in order to prevent their souls' total descent. In an earthly way I will guide your thoughts such that you will be able to ease the physical hardship as well and will give to everyone according to his faith. Therefore, you should try to awaken or strengthen your fellow human beings' faith in Me, in My love and omnipotence, so that they can partake in the blessings of a strong faith and be helped with their earthly hardship. For One can and always will help .... you must just believe in Him .... And where earthly strength fails My strength will set in if this is My will, and with My strength you can cope with all situations in life and with My help will also be led through the forthcoming harsh conditions. And thus you, My servants on earth, must purely concentrate on your teaching ministry, on your spiritual activity, on your fellow human beings' souls which are in urgent need of help. You must try to direct their will towards Me by proclaiming Me as a God of love to Whom they must turn in order to receive the strength of love from Him as well. People will suffer so much adversity that they will take hold of any life line, that they will therefore listen more willingly than ever and be grateful to find an explanation for the work of destruction which is facing the survivors and whose souls I still want to gain for Myself. Therefore, each one of you, My servants, should work within your circle, for you all will have ample opportunity to speak on My behalf and to mention My directly conveyed Word from heaven to earth. Make use of your time of activity, because you will find open hearts which are receptive for what you have to offer impelled by My spirit .... And I Myself will be able to work through you, I will be able to speak to people, and wherever merely the slightest will exists your labour will be successful, the souls will turn to Me which I Myself can then take care of according to their will and their faith. It will not be long until I will noticeably manifest Myself in the repeatedly announced natural disaster .... I will come suddenly and unexpectedly, for even if My Own take it into account every day .... they, too, will be taken by surprise when the first signs become apparent. Nevertheless, regardless of how distressing it will be, I recognise its urgent necessity and will not divert from it under any circumstances. And thus you must all prepare yourselves for it by accepting Me and My Word in your heart wherever and whenever possible so that you will have an abundance of strength when you are surrounded by great adversity and fear, so that you can grant comfort and strength to all who are close to you, who are led to you by My will so that you will proclaim My Word to them for their souls' salvation. Prepare yourselves for this mission, for it will require all your strength and will, yet if you possess firm faith yourselves, you will, fearlessly and without worry, be wise guides and advisors for your fellow human beings and for the benefit of everyone be able to work for Me and My kingdom ....

Amen

Mission of the last disciples before the ruin .... God's hiring of workers ....

B.D. 4099 from August 7th 1947, taken from Book No. 50

And you shall be witnesses of the last events on this earth .... Therefore if I have appointed you to it, a mission awaits you, the last one My disciples have to fulfil on this earth before its ruin .... that they once again establish the connection between heaven and earth, that they are mediators between Me and people in the time of hardest distress of the believers and deepest spiritual destitution of the unbelievers. This mission requires workers on earth which are willing to help and which offer their services to Me of their own free will, because otherwise people would have to be influenced by compulsory faith and this would be unsuccessful. And since I need many labourers in My vineyard I constantly hire them, I still go among people late in the day to hire servants for the last hours .... who places himself to My service? .... Only a few want to carry out work which, although it seems hopeless, is nevertheless of greatest blessing, even if only a small success would be recorded, for one saved soul alone will thank its helper in eternity that it has found its way back into the father's house and no longer needs to take upon itself the infinite torments of a renewed earthly progress. The time is flying, the end will not tolerate any more delay, the day of the last Judgment is near and countless souls languish in spiritual darkness to whom light shall still be brought .... And therefore every labourer is welcome to Me, and everyone who takes care of the spreading of My word can consider himself My servant who is exceedingly valuable to Me if he willingly does work for Me. Work and be active while it is still day .... bring light to people, lead them through the night into the light of day, inform them of the urgency of your activity by announcing the near end to them, by pointing them to eternity, to life after death and to the state of their souls. Admonish and warn them, even though they listen to you incredulously, laugh at you or try to oppose you with their worldly wisdom. The time will come very soon when they will remember your words. For that is why I lead them into your path beforehand, so that you should already do the preliminary work, the blessing of which will only then be recognisable. And therefore do not slacken, do not let yourselves be held back by the length of time until the fulfilment of My predictions, and do not tire, for your work is urgent, it has to be done, and therefore you should always be active ....

Amen

Doubts about truth of announcements .... natural disaster ....

B.D. 4479 from November 6th 1948, taken from Book No. 52

You should not trouble yourselves with doubts, and that is why I answer every question you ponder in your heart and which makes you uneasy. Why can't you believe that the time you live on earth is only short? Why don't you want to take My announcement literally and seriously prepare yourselves for a quick end? Why does a non-occurrence of My predictions seem more probable to you? Why don't you just believe My word and wait for the things to come? As I tell you, so it is and so it will come, and you will all be surprised at the sudden turn you do not expect because it will come sooner than you think. Whom I choose to be bearers of truth, whom I have assigned such a task to receive My word directly and to write it down for fellow human beings, him I will protect for the sake of truth from an influence which is opposed to My working. He is in My service and I will never allow My adversary to use him to place error next to truth. Nor do I want My servants to see things unclearly themselves, that they are weak in faith and doubt where they should spread the truth with conviction .... And therefore I speak to them again and again and point them to the coming time which will bring them the evidence that My word is purest truth. The fact that a short time will pass should by no means make you insecure in your speeches. You can represent every word which has been received through you from above, and you need never fear to have interwoven your own spiritual knowledge which contradicts the truth, for you are in My service. The fact that I have accepted you as My servants is proven to you by the transmission of My word. But anyone who is once My servant only carries out his master's will and his will is completely subordinate to Mine. Therefore he will only do what I want him to do and especially enjoy My protection in the spiritual work which is meant for the spreading of pure truth. He will only receive and assimilate truth, and he truly need not fear any erroneous addition. I repeat again that you are about to experience the greatest upheaval that has taken place on this earth. Whoever survives it will be able to speak of a miracle, but many of those who have knowledge of it through you, My servants and prophets of the last days, will survive My intervention because they shall serve as witnesses that I have made Myself known beforehand and thus My plan from eternity is evident from it. And this is why I delay so long, so that many people will still be given the opportunity to take notice of My rule and activity and of My revelation through the elements of nature .... But the time will soon be over, then there will be no more day of delay .... You would be frightened if you knew how near the event is that I am announcing again and again .... You should not doubt when I Myself announce this to you, you should believe without hesitation, you should know that it is I Myself Who speaks to you and that I convey nothing but purest truth to you and truly protect you from enforcing the truth with error. Let your faith grow stronger so that you can stand up for My word with complete conviction, which is conveyed to you from above, because it is My will that you should have knowledge of it in order to prepare yourselves and appeal to Me for strength, which you will truly need when the day has come which will prove the truth of My word to you ....

Amen

Reference to natural disaster .... surprise ....

B.D. 4528 from December 30th 1948, taken from Book No. 52

You, My faithful, will also be surprised by the sudden earthly turn of events. You will receive a last hint, but you will also pay too little attention to it and therefore also be too little prepared. But I want to inform you once again that your days are numbered and that you can safely expect to enter a new phase of life which all too clearly indicates the near end. I have told you this, and I tell you again and again, that you are the generation which experiences the end. And so that you believe that the end is near and still have the last opportunity to seriously prepare yourselves, I announce My previous revelation to you through the elements of nature. I want you to believe and make it easy for you to believe. Furthermore, I inform you of what you experience and prove the truth of My words to you, so that you will also believe in the end and accordingly use the last days for your soul. But you doubt and are lukewarm in your soul's work; even you, My faithful, do not take My word so seriously that you would like to completely attune yourselves to it. And when I now appear you will be just as surprised despite the announcement before. But anyone who believes My word does not need another warning, for he expects Me daily and knows that there is only a short time left. And I will reveal Myself to him in an unmistakable way, for he shall still testify shortly beforehand so that his fellow human beings will believe when I appear. He will feel Me, I will always be present to him and therefore he will also be able to testify about Me and eagerly speak for Me. And I will bless his zeal and very obviously grant him My help when the great adversity begins .... The time limit has expired .... Believe this and expect Me and I will come .... Strong faith attracts Me, strong faith allows My presence and makes My revelation possible and thereby also makes the heavy burden of life easier, because I have also promised My protection to those who believe in Me and belong to My own. And they will know that the time has come, even though they, too, are surprised that what I have always and constantly proclaimed through word and scripture will come to pass ....

Amen

Announcement of the Judgment .... Doubts .... The approach of a star ....

B.D. 4661 from June 7th 1949, taken from Book No. 53

You have been informed of an approaching Judgment but you doubt this and do not take My Words seriously enough, or you would not make further earthly arrangements and only prepare yourselves for the day when My proclamations will come true. Although you do not know the day, it should suffice you that I, as your Creator and Father of eternity, have revealed it as shortly forthcoming, that I thus have informed you that it is time for you to prepare yourselves or I would not constantly repeat the admonitions and warning, but leave you without notice. And therefore you should pay heed that the deadline grows ever shorter and is expiring very quickly everywhere. All earthly worries are in vain for I will take care of My Own so that they will have what they need. The others, however, will not be able to hold on to anything, even if they associate with My adversary, even if they, at present and with his help, are prosperous in a worldly sense and continue to increase their possessions, be they earthly goods or honours or worldly wisdom. My adversary will not be able to protect them on the day of terror, since I want to bring people to their senses through the forces of nature, so that they will think of their God and Creator and entrust themselves to Him in dire adversity.

Then everything will fall prey to the forces of nature, nothing will be left for people except what I want them to keep. And therefore they should endeavour to gain My grace, they should unite with Me through deeds of love and heartfelt thoughts, they should speak to Me and listen for My answer, and they will reap a far greater reward than if they worry about their body's wellbeing, about earthly wealth and earthly progress. You should believe that soon will come to pass what I already predicted long ago; you should believe that there is not much time left and no longer worry how to gain earthly profits, for this worry is futile, as you will very soon realise.

I will give you, who spread My Word, a sign so that you will support it with full conviction. I want you to know that a star is approaching earth with great velocity, and that this appearance will happen shortly before I bring the constant proclamation to fruition. Then you, who are informed, will know that the hour is at hand. Then you should live only in accordance with My will, inform your fellow human beings of the forthcoming event, turn everyone's attention to it and closely unite yourselves with Me so that I can give you the strength you need during these perilous hours. Do not fear but only believe that I will deliver you from all hardship, so that you will be able to fulfil your mission for which I have prepared you .... so that afterwards you will bring My Gospel to your fellow human beings, for many of those who emerged unscathed will accept My Word with a hungry heart. You should realise that you do not have much time left until the end .... And preceding this end everything I constantly proclaim will come to pass. Believe it and prepare yourselves, for time is running out and I will appear very soon ....

Amen

Strengthen faith for the tasks

2896 - ?resNotTranslated?

Mighty task of the servants of God .... end ....

B.D. 3663 from January 21st 1946, taken from Book No. 46

You have an enormous task to fulfil on earth if you want to be active for My kingdom before the last end. This task requires strong will and profound faith and a fervent love for Me, for Whom you want to be active. For you will be attacked from all sides, you, you will be attacked by people you previously thought to be on your side, for satan rages and also carries the sparks of hatred and unkindness amongst them. And thus their thinking will also be blinded, they will no longer recognize Me in the word you convey to them, they will oppose you and betray you for the sake of worldly reward, they will change to the enemy's camp and deny Me because they have never yet recognized Me. But you must withstand every onslaught, no matter from which side it comes. You must always remember that I have foretold all this to you so that you will only recognize the truth of My word and adhere to Me all the more firmly and faithfully, Who will not abandon you in any adversity. For everything must come to pass as I have proclaimed it .... only a small flock will remain faithful to Me, and this flock shall fight for Me with the sword of the mouth, it shall speak fearlessly and unhesitatingly even in the face of the strongest earthly power, it shall always know that I am mightier than all earthly rulers, that they speak for Me and in My name .... And therefore this task requires strength of will and strength of faith, and only a few will be able to accomplish their task. But to these few I bestow extraordinary strength to work for Me, and I Myself will constantly be with them and accessible to every call which, coming from their hearts, touches My ear. Fear nothing, you who want to serve Me in the coming time, trustingly hand yourselves over to My guidance, recognize Me in every event and only seek ever more intimate contact with Me, and you will gain a strength of faith which no longer lets you fear anything, which is able to accomplish what seems impossible and which gives you peace and security in the face of every onslaught of the world. And thus let Me constantly be active in your hearts, let Me speak to you through My spirit, listen to My voice and follow all instructions I will give you when it is necessary in a clearly recognizable way, and always recognize Me as your lord and father from eternity, be willing servants and loving children to Him at the same time, and you will be successful labourers for My kingdom, you will also be able to master the difficult task in the last days and contribute infinitely much to the souls' salvation, and every single soul will thank you for its salvation until all eternity ....

Amen

Mighty task of the servants of God .... end .... strength to that from God’s word ....

B.D. 3664 from January 22nd 1946, taken from Book No. 46

And therefore strengthen yourselves beforehand for your task so that you can carry it out full of strength. And draw this strength from My word, receive it with a hungry heart, fill yourselves with the bread of heaven and grow and mature in spirit and soul. And all weakness will fall away from you if you refresh yourselves at the source of eternal life, and you will be equal to every spiritual and earthly activity, nothing will seem insurmountable to you if the strength from Me flows through you, which you receive from My word. For then I Myself will work with you, and thus you cannot be defeated, you will successfully work for Me and My kingdom. And therefore you cannot exist without My word in the last days before the end, and the word from heaven itself must be offered to you if it is to give strength and testify to Me and My presence. For the battle against the believers will result in little faith being placed in My word if it is offered as it has been up to now .... by people who are not enlightened by My spirit, who adhere to the letters and fail to grasp the meaning of those who desire too little spiritual nourishment themselves and therefore cannot receive it either. The word thus offered will no longer be recognized as My word because it is no longer unadulterated, because it has no longer remained as pure as it was taught by Me Myself on earth. Yet what is offered to you from heaven, where My spirit's working obviously comes to light, will also mean strengthening for the believers, and anyone who satisfies himself with this bread will withstand all temptations of the world. For he recognizes My voice, and because the father’s voice sounds so close to him he is full of faith and trust, and he takes on every battle against the enemy .... he remains faithful to Me until the end .... But only My word gives him the strength to do so, and therefore seek to spread My word beforehand as far as it is possible for you, accept the strength of My word yourselves without ceasing by letting Me speak to you again and again, and do not fear and tremble .... For He Who speaks to you from above is always ready to help, He is with you, He is so close to you that you need never feel alone, and His presence is safe protection in every adversity and danger. And if you become weak, draw strength from My word, which My love gave to you and will constantly give to you until you have fulfilled your earthly task, until the end has come and I fetch you to Me into My kingdom ....

Amen

Coming need .... living faith .... test of faith ....

B.D. 4698 from July 26th 1949, taken from Book No. 54

You have to expect an extremely great adversity in which only faith in Me can sustain you, for little earthly help will be able to be brought to you and you, left to your own devices, will have to appeal for all help from Me. And then you will visibly be able to ascertain the success of profound faith, for My love will always know ways and means that you will be released from the most oppressive adversity. There will be a time when human wisdom and human will will be ineffective because you lack the strength which you have to request from Me. And yet, one will be able to help the other, and if he does so his own hardship will also decrease, yet the entire living conditions will experience a change due to My natural intervention which, however, is intended to show worldly people the impermanence and worthlessness of that which alone is desirable to them .... Again and again I draw your attention to this time, yet in the gear of the world it seems impossible to you that such a time still lies ahead of you. But how then will you survive if you have not already prepared yourselves for it, if no help can be brought to you on the part of the world because I Myself prevent this? .... How can you expect help if you don't believe in Me and take refuge in Me? Your faith in Me is still very weak, even if you profess it with your mouth and also speak My name as evidence of your faith in Me. Yet true faith has to be won, and I only call true faith living faith, the firm inner conviction of what you claim to believe. But you will fail when this difficult test of faith is put to you. Only then will you realize how much more you should concern yourselves with thoughts of Me, your creator and father of eternity, Who is love, wisdom and omnipotence in Himself, thus He wants to and can help you and will do so if you have this firm faith in Me. It is faith which I want to shape into a living faith through My word, which I repeatedly convey to you, and through the adversity and tests of faith to which I already subject you so that you will mature and become strong in faith before the great adversity sets in. Still regard every day as a gift and make use of it, let your thoughts wander upwards, that is, think more often about your purpose of existence and aim, about life in eternity and about Me, Who is the controller and shaper of everything that exists and in Whom it will be easy for you to believe if only you seriously want to and mentally occupy yourselves with Him. For I truly help everyone to recognize Me who only has the will to do so. And if he calls upon Me I will hear him because I want him to believe in Me. Don't let the great adversity approach you until you have gained this faith in Me. I alone will be able to help you if all other help fails, for no thing is impossible with God .... And I will provide you with the evidence in the coming time that a profound faith is able to do everything and also banishes the greatest adversity .... Therefore you can also look forward to that time without fear if you have a living faith in Me, in My love, wisdom and omnipotence ....

Amen

Testing the power of faith .... miracle healings ....

B.D. 4832 from February 7th 1950, taken from Book No. 55

You must test the strength of faith so that you can also represent the truth of My word to the world. As soon as you have living faith yourselves, as soon as you know that I hear every prayer which is sent up to Me in complete trust, you can ask Me for whatever you want; your faith itself guarantees you fulfilment. Only the request must arise from a loving heart, thus what you ask for must serve your neighbour's well-being, it must be based on love for him and never arise from self-love. Put every test of faith to the test .... Where your help is needed, grant it, and what you are unable to do with your own strength, bring it to Me and request the necessary strength for it. Know that I will never withhold it from you if only you believe and want to work with love. Pure, unselfish love must prompt you to help me, then you will be full of strength and no longer doubt the success of what would otherwise be impossible for you as a mere human being. Every doubt, every timidity, every inhibition is the result of too weak faith. Then I cannot fulfil your prayer, otherwise I would be unfaithful to Myself, Who made the fulfilment dependent on a strong faith. The strength should come from yourselves so that your fellow human beings will recognize what a strong faith is capable of. Faith can move mountains .... But such faith is no longer to be found amongst you humans, and therefore these words seem like a figure of speech to you. But you can put yourselves to the test at any time if only you let Me be present in you through love, which then also makes your faith strong and unshakeable through its strength. If you feel Me Myself within you, not the slightest doubt of success will befall you, and then you will work with Me and nothing can fail you. Then every deed will certainly be considered a miracle in the eyes of the world, yet it is only the natural result of an intimate union with Me, Who now also makes you recipients of strength to an unlimited extent. Believe and put your faith to the test and prove to your fellow human beings the power of faith .... not in order to work miracles but in merciful neighbourly love you should use this strength of faith which truly lets you be powerful, because it is I Whom you now cause to express strength and Who will never ever let a strong faith fail. People will approach you asking for help, don't refuse their requests, help them by laying your hands on them in My name. By doing so, also help them to firmly believe and teach them that faith only comes alive through love. I place great hope in you, My disciples of the end time, to still win souls which find their way back to faith for the sake of the faith you possess and which proves My existence to them. Help these souls, for you are able to do so if only you intimately unite with Me in order to receive strength from Me which enables you to achieve every feat .... Try out the strength of faith yourselves and you will be able to work for the blessing of your fellow human beings for Me and My kingdom ....

Amen

Trials of faith should produce strong faith ....

B.D. 5954 from May 11th 1954, taken from Book No. 64

I will often still have to send you tests of faith because I want to train you to become strong fighters who are needed in the last days, who are to fight for Me and My name and with their strength of faith also win over their fellow human beings for Me. And therefore you have to climb step by step; every passed test of faith will bring you further, and every renewed bond with Me will strengthen your soul and enable it for the task it has been given in the last days .... to defend the faith and to be a guide for fellow human beings who knows the path himself because he only relies on inner guidance, on My steering through My spirit .... Often obstacles will still pile up in front of you which you never think you will be able to overcome .... But I am already ready to remove the obstacles, yet only when you have made contact with Me, when you ask Me to help you because your strength alone is not enough. You should always remember Him Who alone can help you, no matter how great the adversity may seem to you .... Your faith that I can help and want to help will cause even the greatest obstacles to dissolve and the path is free again, which you should now continue with Me .... As soon as you separate yourselves from Me, as soon as you think too little of Me, worries and hardships will pile up in front of you again which I cannot spare you as long as you do not exclusively devote yourselves to Me, as long as you do not allow yourselves to be satisfied with My presence and your eyes are still longingly directed away from the path where many things still tempt you which you do not yet want to miss completely .... I know that My means of education sometimes hit you hard, I know that you sometimes find it difficult to see the loving father in Me, yet it is only love which lets Me act this way towards you, for I alone also know where you would end up if I didn't let you get into situations again and again where only the intimate connection with Me .... a call from the bottom of your heart .... and such hardships and their overcoming are extremely beneficial for your souls and strengthen your faith immensely. There is a way out for all hardships, and nothing is insurmountable with My help .... Thus earthly worries and hardships should never make you despondent, for you can banish them through strong faith, and this is what you should try to gain .... I only ever want to show you that I will not let My adversary oust Me, and if he succeeds in turning your eyes towards him I Myself will put a wall between you and him .... and My own understand My call of love and humbly bow down .... and their prayer to Me is now such that I can hear it, that I lead them out of all adversity .... For I will never lose them again, I only want them to completely surrender to Me and thereby attain a faith which is unshakeable and which will also emerge victorious from the last battle on this earth ....

Amen

Solving the world and earthly ties

Calling .... Preparation .... Renunciation ....

B.D. 3274 from September 28th 1944, taken from Book No. 42

The task you have to accomplish will require all your strength, therefore you will be led through trials which are intended to strengthen you for this task; for only when you have overcome yourselves completely, when you have detached yourselves from everything dear to you on earth, will you become absorbed in your work for the kingdom of God. And you are assigned to accomplish this work. Consequently, do not let yourselves be misled or distracted by worldly events, work diligently and hand all your earthly worries over to the Father in Heaven, Who will remove them from you as soon as you work for Him. God expects a lot from you but He also gives you infinitely much .... He expects you to renounce everything that delights your senses, but He will give you what makes your soul happy .... He takes earthly possessions away from you and bestows upon you spiritual wealth, which makes up for all worldly possessions. And you must thank Him for every gift, because it is offered to you by His love. Yet even earthly suffering is a gift of love from God as soon as it matures your soul. For the task you are to accomplish requires undivided dedication, because it is spiritual work which does not tolerate earthly hindrances. But then it is delectable, it delights the giver as well as the recipient .... The point in time when a general breakdown will occur is drawing ever closer, and good for the one who releases himself from earthly goods before they are forcibly taken from him, for his spirit can freely develop and occupy itself with things of eternal value. His life on earth will not last forever, yet what he takes over into the spiritual kingdom can be permanent and subsequently make him infinitely happy. But he will only attain it on earth if he relinquishes what belongs on earth. For this reason God will take the latter away from you, if He has called you to work for Him. You must feel your calling within yourselves as soon as you hear His voice, as soon as you receive His Word and are deemed worthy of the great grace of being instructed by Him directly. The conveyance of spiritual gifts should be your proof that God has chosen you to work for Him. And if you realise this, then you must humbly accept everything from His hand, for everything that comes upon you is necessary and determined by His wisdom. Then you will also feel yourselves called, you will feel yourselves as His servants and receive the instructions of your Lord .... Let Him reign alone, for His way will benefit your souls, and don’t resist Him if He draws you to Himself, but follow His call instead .... Work for His kingdom and don’t worry how you will survive on earth .... God will always find ways and means if you humans need something .... but you cannot protect yourselves from earthly worries if God Himself deems them necessary for you. If He needs you as servants, as labourers for His kingdom, He must first make you capable of it, and for this He uses different means. And the fact that you are meant to work for Him is proven to you every day as His gift of grace flows to you, which teaches you to become His fighters, because He needs you during the last days .... Therefore wait patiently and don’t fail, be tirelessly active and trustingly hand yourselves over to divine guidance, and you will accomplish your task on earth, you will be valiant fighters in the final battle, as it is His will.

Amen

Earthly precautions against the disaster are futile ....

B.D. 3692 from February 20th 1946, taken from Book No. 47

You must completely detach yourselves from the world if My strength is to permeate you and you want to become aware of it. And thus even in hours of anxious adversity you will only be full of strength if you are able to ignore all earthly happenings and completely hand yourselves over to Me with your thoughts. And I will take particularly good care of those who try to find this intimate bond during hours of greatest earthly adversity for they demonstrate their faith in Me, which I will never disappoint. You yourselves are unable to avert whatever I send upon you, hence all efforts you make to safeguard your physical well-being will therefore be in vain. You will gain far more by focussing your mind on Me and faithfully wait for My help, for it will result in certain success, and I will protect your body and soul because you believe in Me. Prior to manifesting Myself through the forces of nature I will still send you unmistakable signs that a disaster is approaching, and then remember My Words .... Collect yourselves in prayer and only pay attention to your spiritual welfare, don't worry about your body, just try to establish heartfelt contact with Me so that I will be able to affect and guide you unhindered without finding resistance through earthly diversion, which weakens the working of My spirit or even makes it impossible. Make no attempt for the maintenance of the body, for that which I want to keep alive will also stay alive, and that which you should lose cannot be protected by your will. I know what you need, just as I know what impedes your souls' further development.

And therefore leave it to Me to care for you, for your earthly possessions and only consider your soul, because you don't know whether it will be your last hour too .... I announce Myself in advance because in My love I still want to give you ample opportunity to make contact with the spiritual kingdom, with Me, Who holds every individual person's destiny in My hand and guides it as is best for you. Anyone who unites with Me has found the safest protection and truly will not need any other earthly protective measures which can become worthless in an instant. For again I want to manifest Myself evidently, I want to make Myself apparent to My Own in order to reinforce their faith, to teach them to become true labourers for My kingdom, which they shall become afterwards. Don't worry for I will take care of you; only heed My Words of love and let your heart respond to them. And remind your fellow human beings to conduct themselves in the same way, caution them against overzealous precautions for their earthly welfare and also appeal to them to faithfully turn to Me and commend themselves body and soul to Me. And anyone who heeds your Words will be miraculously guided according to his strength of faith. Therefore don't fear anything no matter what happens, even if you are in a most dangerous situation .... My arm extends far and wide to help as well as to destroy .... Whomever I want to keep alive will remain alive, and whomever I want to destroy will be unable to save himself .... he should only make sure that his soul will not fall pray to darkness, then he will be saved for eternity ....

Amen

Disciples of the end time .... earthly relationship .... God's worry about family ....

B.D. 4437 from September 20th 1948, taken from Book No. 52

Just as the disciples had to separate from their families, from house and farm, in order to follow Me, so the last disciples must also be prepared to give up everything if they hear the gentle call in their hearts to work for Me. Their love for Me must be so great that they will not prefer any earthly bond to Me, only then can they work as My true disciples on My behalf. As long as they are still bound by earth they cannot hear the inner voice which, however, is absolutely necessary in order to spread My word, in order to be able to teach their fellow human beings. Nothing may be dearer to you than My word, the expression of My love for you, and you must gladly and joyfully and at all times be willing to hear My word, directly or also indirectly. The more you have gained insight into the spiritual, into the eternal truth, the more you will understand that you must completely give yourselves to Me if you want to serve Me as an instrument, for every connection between you and the material world prevents Me from working through you. And thus you also have an explanation about the problem of how far My servants should remain free from firm ties which do not apply to spiritual striving, thus do not strive to achieve a common spiritual aim. My disciples had to leave their wives and children in order to follow Me, and I blessed them for it ....

(21.9.1948) Anyone who has Me as his aim must not send his eyes backwards, anyone who strives towards the spiritual kingdom has overcome the world and can therefore also calmly leave the world without harming or damaging his fellow human beings. For then I will take over the care for his own, whom he has looked after until now. Then I will also make his earthly task easy for him and only assign it to him to such an extent that he can do spiritual work at the same time, i.e. inform his fellow human beings of the purpose and aim of earthly life. If I need My disciples for this, this task is their most important, but then they should confidently relinquish what could prevent them from carrying out this work. They shall set themselves free and now proclaim My word as My true disciples and be without worry .... But anyone who loves the world more than Me is not suitable as My disciple in the last days, for he cannot serve two masters, he cannot pay tribute to the world and strive towards Me at the same time; the separation must first be completed before I can accept him as My servant who will no longer backslide and for whom My goods offer full compensation for the world's goods. But as long as there is still something which is placed before Me I cannot obviously work in and on him, and therefore he must have completely overcome the world in order to be a true disciple for Me in the last days before the end ....

Amen

Care of the father of the house .... detachment from the world ....

B.D. 8759 from February 21st 1964, taken from Book No. 92

You need not worry yourselves, for you will be guided, as I recognize it as beneficial, that your work in My vineyard is successful. Consider that I know where the spiritual knowledge you receive from Me is still to be directed .... that I also know all ways and means to convey My word to those who are willing to accept it and whom I thereby also win for Me .... And that is why every worry is unnecessary, and you can truly leave it to Me, because My will can always work in you as long as you offer Me no resistance. And your will to serve Me proves that you have given up all resistance and that you therefore are also allowed to experience My direct work in you, be it through the transmission of My word or through the guidance of your way of life, your thoughts and your spiritual activity. What is only possible is to be and still is done for the spreading of My word, of pure truth out of Me, and I also know who is at My will as a right servant, but undertakes nothing without Me and therefore can be directed in his thinking. And still everything happens within the framework of the natural; I will not force faith in Me through obvious miracles, but everyone who wants to see will also see the unusual of My work, and he will inwardly happy devote himself to Me and comply with My will. And do not let yourselves be depressed by failures, which will occur again and again through the influence of My opponent .... but then also the prerequisites are missing, which let a man reach inner light. But I bless every effort on your part to convey the truth to the human being, to open his heart and to inform him of My working in you .... Who wants to believe, he will also be able to believe. Anyone who offers inner resistance will also not be able to be taught any better .... One day he still has to take the way to Me, and good for him, if he still finds it in this life. But I make it easy for every man, because as soon as he accepts My word in good will, a light will shine for him, which will always increase, and then I have also won him for Me. Who earnestly wants to serve Me, he will also break away from the world, from matter. And still he will not get into earthly trouble, but first I demand that he is prepared out of love towards Me to give up everything, and he will truly not become poorer through it, only that he now receives out of My hand what he needs earthly and spiritually .... And a householder cares for his servants, he does not let them get into trouble but he demands their full commitment .... because who is active for Me is not also allowed to serve another, he must pay attention to My instructions, which can only ever have a positive success. I therefore demand unconditional commitment for Me in order to then also be able to prove Myself to an extent which will make you happy and result in the greatest success. And rarely will a man be completely devoted to Me who still carries earthly desire in himself, who is still bound to the material world .... For you must understand that there is a difference whether you certainly live in the material world but are already inwardly free and have detached yourselves from it .... or whether it still keeps you so bound that you still desire and you as it were serve two gods, because the earthly world still means one god for you. If you are prepared to give everything, then you will also receive from Me in excess, but I Who cannot tolerate a second god beside Me. And I also make it easy for you to completely turn to Me by taking from you what you are often not willing to voluntarily give away .... And so you, who want to serve Me, should always exercise sharp self-criticism as to whether your heart is still attached to worldly possessions; you should ask yourselves whether you could divest yourselves of all these for My sake .... always in full faith in Me and My word, that I will not let anyone go hungry who serves Me wholeheartedly .... And you are to prove this your faith, and truly, you will be allowed to enjoy My love and favour in excess, because the light in you will shine more and more radiantly, and as overcomers of the world and its matter you then already stand in the midst of the spiritual world, and this light you will now also be able to radiate yourselves on your fellowmen, and it will be of great effect. It is not My will that you get into earthly trouble, but often it is no longer possible on any other way to kill your desire for the earthly material world, and you must be urged to acts, which you do not undertake out of your own drive .... This is the only way you are allowed to look at adversities you have to suffer from, for nothing comes upon you without My will or My permission, only you should make an effort to recognize why I let them come upon you .... For nothing is without meaning and purpose, which also happens, because I never use compulsion but want to win you completely for Me as workers in My vineyard, who always only fulfil My will ...._>Amen

Mission after the intervention of God

2295 - ?resNotTranslated?

2572 - ?resNotTranslated?

The servants' mission on earth after the natural disaster ....

B.D. 3709 from March 10th 1946, taken from Book No. 47

Whatever you hear through the inner voice is what you shall tell your fellow human beings when the time has come. For the mission you have to fulfil is to provide people with an explanation when they no longer understand world events and find it difficult to believe in a Creator of heaven and earth, in a loving Father, Who directs His children's destiny on earth. Then stand up and instruct them, and inform them of My great love .... Don't frighten them with God's wrath and the Judgment, for they are not yet punishments but merely the teaching methods I use in order to save people's souls. I Am not yet passing the final sentence but I won't leave any stone unturned in order to avoid having to condemn the souls on the day of Judgment to eternal damnation ....

And thus you should try to explain to them that the period of Salvation has expired, that there is only little time left until the end and that this time has to be utilized for their return to Me. People will doubt My love, they will doubt My omnipotence when they see the immense misery on earth caused by people's and, in the end, by My will, and anyone not of firm faith and informed as a result of his way of life will be in danger of falling away, that is, of abandoning Me completely, if he does not receive clarification.

Yet the magnitude of misery will also open their hearts and they will listen to you, and your Words will not go unheeded. And thus this time has to be particularly utilized, and you ought to speak as soon as you feel prompted from within to do so, for then it will always be My spirit which impels you to work for Me and My kingdom. And then inform them of the great spiritual hardship, make them aware of the fact that their bodies only live a short time but that souls live forever and thus their soul's fate is paramount; remind them to act with love, remind them to take less notice of their own hardship and to treat their fellow human beings' hardship with more empathy; inform them of the strength and blessing of neighbourly love, My constant readiness to help, and try to awaken or strengthen their faith. And you will not have to worry what you should say, for I will put all words into your mouth if only you want to work for Me, if you don't refuse to fulfil the task I give you through My Word.

You will hear My voice within yourselves more distinctly than ever and then don't fear any opposition, for I want you to work on My behalf and know how to shield you from those who want to prevent you from doing your work. Speak without worry, and don't question whether your action corresponds to My will, for once the time for your activity comes I will take possession of you, and you shall follow Me without resistance, that is, you shall do whatever your heart tells you to do. And you will clearly feel it in your heart; it will be your own innermost desire to speak to everyone crossing your path and to draw their attention to the impending end which will come just as certainly as My intervention through natural forces, just as everything I have announced through My spirit will fulfil itself ....

Amen

Spiritual mission .... truth .... end battle ....

B.D. 4394 from August 4th 1948, taken from Book No. 51

You will be full of wisdom if you are to work for Me and My kingdom. To the extent that you use knowledge, to the extent that you teach your fellow human beings yourselves, you will receive spiritual possessions and your knowledge will increase without limit, for then I will always work in you and provide you with everything you need, with spiritual and physical nourishment, as I have promised you. And then your mission will be recognized by the one who only has the will for it, for your wisdom will obviously come to light, the treasure of knowledge will be astonishing which cannot conceal its spiritual origin. But if you teach people will also be hungry for spiritual food because they are in utmost need. And they will open their hearts and listen to you, yet with varying degrees of success. To many My word will be an explanation for the hardship caused by the great event which has affected them, they will be thoughtful and also consider My word in their hearts. Others again will certainly listen to it but doubt it or have little faith in it; the adversity certainly moves them to accept it but they are not a hundredfold with their heart but also look towards the world and its goods are more desirable to them. And still others reject you completely, they reject every spiritual word, every teaching which touches spiritual areas, they have lost all faith through the event because they never carried it in their heart before, because they only believed outwardly and this faith was a formal faith without any value. And they will speak against you, they will try to harm you and yet initially achieve nothing because you will be protected by those who acknowledge your knowledge, who have accepted it and found it beneficial. And thus your work will be successful in the beginning until a power comes to the helm which will prevent your freedom of speech through measures and laws which are directed against everything spiritual. Only then will the great adversity begin, which will mean the final end .... Then a battle will be waged on the part of the world against every believer, against every school of thought, but especially against you who spread the pure truth. But then I will obviously stand by you and appear such that you will still gain many followers and your work can be continued, for then you will be able to prove to your fellow human beings what strength lies in faith and love, which an unbelieving and unkind person can never have at his disposal. There will be an open separation of believers and unbelievers, two camps will form which fight against each other .... My army will be small in number yet strong and resilient, for I Myself, as the commander of the army, will always be on My own' side, whereas the adversary will certainly be outnumbered but he will be unable to do anything against My own who fight with Me and for Me. But the last battle must take place if the separation of spirits is to be accomplished before the last day dawns, the day of judgement and the dissolution of the old earth. Those who remain faithful to Me until then will experience My coming in the clouds, but those who have fallen away will certainly live earthly lives of luxury, but they will be torn out of their frenzy and fall into the pit of hell, into the deepest abyss, when the end has come. Therefore withstand all temptations and challenges of the world, serve Me with all eagerness, let Me feed and water you daily with My word and pass on what you receive from Me. And you will be true servants to Me on earth in the last days, and your work will always be blessed by Me ....

Amen

It requires a particularly high degree of maturity in order to be able to audibly hear My Word, therefore I can only impart a limited amount of knowledge to you at first, albeit to an extent which certainly enables you to work for Me and to proclaim the Gospel to other people. Even so, the end is approaching and humanity is facing the last events on this earth. People are completely ignorant and neither able to accept My Word nor to recognise it when it is offered to them. In their spiritual blindness they no longer know about the blessing of Christ's act of Salvation, they don't believe in Him and will therefore be hopelessly exposed to My adversary's control if they don't change their thoughts and actions before the end. And in order to revive their faith again, where this is still possible, something extraordinary will present itself to people which was mentioned by Jesus on earth .... signs and miracles will take place .... The cross of Christ will visibly and so clearly appear in the sky that it will startle people who don't believe in Him, whereas My Own will cheer and rejoice and their faith will become greatly strengthened. This will give rise to an unusual desire for clarification, so that right and wrong assumptions will prompt My servants to intervene and instruct people of the truth. And for this you will require special knowledge which I would certainly like to pass on to you but which you can only receive in the above mentioned state of maturity that the audible Word demands. This knowledge cannot be conveyed mentally, the spiritual ear and eye have to be open so as to be able to assimilate the impressions experienced by the dying Saviour on the cross and expressed with Words which no human ear heard and which consequently remained completely unknown to the human race.

The reason why this knowledge was withheld from you is based on the fact that only few people would have been able to grasp the profundity of these Words and that it requires an extremely strong faith to have come alive through love in order to understand them. But shortly before the end there will be people who will have gained this living faith through love and to whom the meaning of Jesus' divine Words will be comprehensible. It is My will to offer them a precious gift by transmitting these very Words, and therefore I require a suitable vessel into which I can pour out My spirit .... a servant on earth who is devoted to Me, to whom I can reveal Myself, to whom I can clearly and understandably pass on Jesus' Words on the cross through the inner voice, so that he will convey them to his fellow human beings and thus make them accessible to humanity. As soon as the appearance is visible in the sky My Own will step forward and speak on My behalf, they will cheer the cross of Christ and perceive His Words like a gentle chord within their heart .... but by this time these Words must already have been conveyed to earth, they must have been received by the audible Word and be comprehensible to My servant and find their confirmation through those believers who likewise heard it in their heart but consider it as spoken from above. But I will inform people in advance so that they become aware of the great miracle. And anyone being spiritually enlightened will feel uplifted in his soul and experience a tremendous flow of strength, and I want to give this strength to all those who demonstrate their loyalty to Me in the last days, and I want to give them a means which will so increase their strength that they will endure the most difficult battle and persevere until the end .... until I Myself arrive and fetch them home into My kingdom, until they enter the realm of peace, the paradise on the new earth ....

Amen

Redeeming cooperation in the end times ....

B.D. 8411 from February 14th 1963, taken from Book No. 88

If you place yourselves at My disposal, if you want to be My co-workers in the last days before the end, you need not fear that you will not be able to cope with this work, for I know where I can use you so that you will be successfully active. Every person's abilities are different, and depending on this ability I will also assign the work to him, and if he is willing to serve Me he will also succeed in this work .... And since the end time is primarily about bringing light to humanity, I also choose the right bearers of light from among .... People in whom I can kindle a right light and who are now also willing to serve to spread the light .... who, in the light of their realization, know about their fellow human beings' lightless state and use all their strength to change this state. The emanation of light, the spreading of My word, is a tremendous task because it can and will have a redeeming success, because My word is strength in itself and does not fail to have an effect. Yet this task requires perseverance, strength of will and a loving, helpful heart, it requires constant unity with Me, constant readiness to accept the rays of light from Me, thus relentless spiritual activity which not many people want to do. Yet this work has to be done to Me of one's own free will, only then will it be successful so that the rays of light penetrate the darkness .... For this free will is determined by love, and only love has a redeeming effect. And to you, My co-workers, I always give the assurance that you will be guided and led, that I will direct your thinking correctly, that I will always provide you with strength and protect you against all hostility, because this work of yours is so urgent and important that I will truly do everything to keep My co-workers active in My will and through whom I Myself can work for the blessing of humanity. You should only entrust yourselves completely to Me, you should carry out your work with utmost confidence and always know that I need you, especially when I could entrust you with an unusual mission on which countless people's salvation depends. You all don't know how urgent the supply of pure truth is, because you also don't know to what extent error has already prevailed and that humanity lives along in entirely wrong ideas .... The world, i.e. the kingdom of My adversary, the prince of darkness, pushes itself everywhere and completely takes possession of people's thinking .... But My kingdom, which is not of this world, no longer finds access to people, and therefore I must always try to bring it close to them again, My kingdom shall come to people again, and blessed are those who turn to My kingdom, who can gain a true insight into it when the pure truth is conveyed to them. Consider, you My servants on earth, how short the time on earth is and what phantoms people chase after .... But you can enlighten them about this because you have already taken possession of My kingdom yourselves through your bond with Me and the direct influx of My strength, which is the origin of that spiritual kingdom .... Thus you are only the mediators between Me and the people who have not yet found the path to Me. And I make use of you because I cannot speak directly to people, which they deny Me due to their spiritual state .... Yet I love all My living creations and therefore also want to let My gifts of grace flow to them, which is now also happening .... My flow of love inexorably flows to earth, which is well suited to lead people out of the darkness of night into the light of day .... And I will truly bless anyone who helps Me to do so and grant him all protection and help .... For the end time constantly demands work for Me and My kingdom, the end time demands active counter-work to the activity of My adversary who also seeks to strengthen the darkness and, especially in the last days, causes much disaster and confusion which can only be prevented and fought through the pure truth .... My power is certainly greater than his, yet the human being's free will is decisive, and therefore it shall also be judged correctly through truth. Those people shall attain the light who seriously want it .... And you, who voluntarily work for Me, shall bring this light to them ....

Amen

Endure suffering

Increased suffering in the end time .... God's love ....

B.D. 4288 from April 28th 1948, taken from Book No. 51

Whatever may come over you, do not doubt My love for you and My power. Know that everything is necessary, both for you, who are active as My co-workers on earth in the last days before the end, as well as for the people who are distant from Me and shall still be won over for the spiritual kingdom. The fact that you, who want to belong to Me, will also be affected by the suffering cannot be avoided, yet again and again I give you the assurance that you will not remain without My help and My protection, that even the most difficult will be bearable for you if you remain intimately united with Me. The time of the great tribulation has dawned, which it is written will usher in the last days, and every individual will have to feel it; only those who belong to My adversary will remain unaffected and enjoy earthly prosperity. But don't let yourselves be distracted by this, My love belongs to you who have to suffer, I provide for you differently than with earthly goods, I give you spiritual wealth, although I also take care of your earthly worries. You will not need to starve, I will provide your soul and body with nourishment, thus you need not worry about their preservation. And yet, you will have to fight and need great strength which I will always supply to you through My word. The more intimately you desire My word and accept it in your heart the easier you will go through earthly life, even if it is outwardly difficult for you. The time of tribulation has dawned .... Remember this when you believe you can no longer endure life, remember that the end is near and that a time of adversity must inevitably precede it, because I have foretold it and My word must come true and because the souls which have not yet completely fallen prey to My adversary can no longer be saved otherwise. And remember that the time until the end is only short and therefore has to bring increased suffering in order to accelerate the maturing, so that you will be in a state at the end that I can take you to Me, that you can see Me when I want to make Myself visible to you coming in the clouds. Remember that this vision requires a degree of maturity which can only be achieved through loving activity and suffering, but that I can also make the latter bearable for you if only you believe. Let your faith become stronger and you can thereby reduce your own suffering, for then you will achieve what you ask for, because I have given you the promise: "Ask and it shall be given you, knock and it shall be opened to you ...."

Amen

Work of satan against vineyard workers

Test the spirits .... Satan's great power before the end .... Doubts ....

B.D. 4968 from September 17th 1950, taken from Book No. 56

You will experience ever more doubt and confusion thanks to My adversary's incentive who wants to pull you away from Me and also prevent the pure truth from establishing itself as it will glaringly highlight his activity. He is therefore always keen to isolate My followers and representatives on earth, to stop their connection with people who want to educate them and introduce them to the truth. He proceeds with great cunning and in a disguise which even My Own find difficult to recognise. He spreads his poisonous seeds all over the place to render everything which is intended to have a life-giving effect incapable of living. He instils severe doubts in the hearts of those who work for God and His kingdom .... But anyone in doubt should turn to Me directly and I, as the eternal Truth, will help him at all times, for it is My will that the truth shall be spread and that everything shall be denounced which does not correspond to truth .... I can certainly impart the truth to you directly, however, as long as you are not receptive for communications from the spiritual kingdom you will be instructed through My messengers, and you should scrutinise their credibility, their faithfulness, that is, their way of life according to My will. Then you will be able to form a correct judgment, then you will be beneficially affected by the pure truth and you will recognise that which does not and never can come from Me.

My adversary will put even the staunchest champions of faith under severe pressure with his weapon of deception and falsehood. He, too, pretends to be devout and devoted to God if he can thereby cause confusion. He does not eschew from using the mask he hides behind and presents himself as My representative on earth, yet it is easily recognisable for anyone who wants to belong to Me and is watchful. He can be recognised; consequently, not one of My Own needs to be afraid of getting caught up in his web of lies, as long as he genuinely wants to do what is right. He can only cause confusion in weak or undecided people who have not entirely escaped from his power. And he is only able to deceive them because they don't take an examination seriously and don't keep strictly to My Word, which always helps them to become aware.

Anyone who lives a life of love, who therefore lives up to My Word, cannot be deceived by illusive words of love, for My adversary will never preach unselfish love but always endorse that which will provide people with earthly success, even if the word 'love' is used as an excuse, for then selfish love becomes the driving force of action, which I never have preached nor ever will preach to people. The spirits which visibly or invisibly approach people must be tested, and they can certainly be recognised if the divine Redeemer Jesus Christ is mentioned to them .... if I Myself Am called upon in spirit and in truth for help with every serious scrutiny .... If complete clarification about Jesus, the Son of God, and His act of Salvation is demanded from these spirits they will have to speak up .... regardless of whether they are spiritual beings or embodied as humans. And every spiritual being which stands up for Christ and His act of Salvation, which acknowledges Him as the Son of God, is good and will never cause you harm. But if a being, be it human or spiritual, portraying itself as a saviour, as someone chosen by Me or as an anointed being designed to influence you, merely avails itself of Jesus' name in order to make you listen to it, then it is an emissary of hell which can only mislead those who are enslaved by it or the weak, who merely expect from it and its propositions worldly-material improvements, therefore they should not be spiritually acknowledged as My messengers. My adversary has great power, especially during the last days before the end, but it will never be so great that it could be detrimental to you, My faithful followers, for if you live a life of love you will be spiritually enlightened and recognise Satan's machinations .... However, many people are still captivated by him, and they themselves grant him the power he exerts over them. He will certainly still cause much confusion amongst people, yet My Own will not fall prey to him, and even the tiniest spark of desire for truth will find Me prepared to hand out My grace so that My adversary's activity shall be recognised and abhorred. You, who are true yourselves, should therefore not fear his mask .... a heartfelt thought sent up to Me makes his influence ineffective and you will brightly and clearly recognise what is true and what is false ....

Amen

Satan’s work .... Heartfelt prayer for protection ....

B.D. 5175 from July 21st 1951, taken from Book No. 58

Even you, who are awakened by My spirit, are not always able to recognise how Satan affects you because, particularly with you, he often uses means that intend to deceive you and tempts you such that you do not realise it as his work. He wants to cause your downfall, he wants to alienate you from Me, he wants to confuse your thoughts so that you start to doubt Me and My love, he wants to portray My Word as ungodly, he wants you to tear yourselves apart with self-reproaches in order to influence you even more successfully .... He wants you to abandon Me and follow him. And since he knows that you are voluntarily devoted to Me he tries to deceive you by portraying My will as being wrong, he tries to incite you into implementing actions in the belief that you are serving Me, although they are not My will .... Therefore beware and call on Me in prayer, turn to Me with all your heart ....

You should know that I listen to every plea you send to Me, but do not overestimate your own strength, that is, do nothing without praying to Me for My blessing. Then you will recognise perfectly well when the adversary is making a demand on you which opposes My will .... He counts on your imperfection, on your blindness, into which he has plunged you himself. Prove to him that you have recognised him and that he has lost all power over you due to your conscious desire for Me .... and anxiously guard against unkindness .... For this is a trap he frequently sets for you and which you can easily fall into if you do not carefully watch your encounters. Then you are put to the test of practising love and stopped from doing so by the adversary who wants to win you over. The least amount of heartlessness is his advantage which he will use to tempt you.

If you become heartless you distance yourselves from Me, although you will never be able to separate yourselves from Me since you are permanently linked to Me, and I will not let anyone, who once has decided to belong to Me, fall into his hands. But he works with much cunning and force .... He spreads doubts into your hearts, and thereby you shall recognise his working and also experience My help from Me, by merely expressing a sincere plea in your heart which I will surely answer. He will indeed have much power before the end, yet My power is greater and he dares to question it. Therefore you need not fear him but be careful and scrutinise everything that approaches you. His power is truly slight as soon as you call on Me for protection and help, for I will step by your side and he will take flight, because he flees from every light which defeats him, as he does not want to lose. Hence, turn to Me at any time with heartfelt prayer for protection and he will not be able to harm you in the slightest, then you will be his master and you will achieve the goal you aspire to on earth ....

Amen

Attacks by 'false representatives' ....

B.D. 6975 from November 23rd 1957, taken from Book No. 74

Anyone who confesses Me in Jesus Christ is and remains Mine for eternity .... You need not fear that I will hand you over to My adversary, who will indeed repeatedly harass you but has no power over you as long as your will is turned towards Me. My adversary certainly tries to separate you from Me, and his activity is often not easy to recognize under the cloak of piety .... For even those who sincerely strive towards Me are attacked by those who seem to strive for the same, for My adversary uses them if he cannot succeed in any other way to drive a wedge between Me and you .... For a person who seriously strives towards Me wants everything but not to act against My will .... And therefore My will is also held up to him from the opposing side in order to shake his belief that he is acting correctly. Yet you can believe that I Myself accept the one who has accepted Me into his heart through his conscious willful devotion to Me and the acknowledgement of My act of salvation in Jesus Christ. I would truly not be a God of love if I wanted to reward a person's love for Me in such a way that I abandon him to ruin .... that I thus leave him to My adversary. And he need not fear to go wrong once he has faithfully given himself to Me and requested My guidance .... And thus I can only tell you again and again that the adversary's activity will indeed not diminish and that he will again and again try to cast doubts into your hearts and that he will also use such people for this who also feel themselves to be 'God's representatives on earth' .... but that they will only do his will if they are not yet intimately united with Me themselves, because then they would immediately feel his influence and resist it. But I protectively hold My hands over you and don't let such temptations endanger you, because I know your will and you are already Mine through your devotion to Me. No matter how your further earthly life will turn out .... you can be certain of My guidance and fatherly care, and you can devote yourselves to the work for Me and My kingdom without worry, for this, too, will be watched over and guided by Me, because My adversary's activity has to be counteracted by Me and you are instructed by Me to carry out this work. You should not worry about this, for precisely the attempts to dissuade you from this work for Me shall give you ever stronger impetus, because you can be certain that these attacks originate from My adversary .... precisely because you serve Me .... If you were to serve him you would truly be supported in every way, you would receive public honours, you would be brought into everyone's field of vision, you would also pay homage to the world and be richly endowed with the goods of this world .... but you would never ever raise your voice for Jesus Christ and His act of salvation, you would rather speak out against Him, for then My adversary's spirit would be active in you, and this would always express itself in an anti-christian way. You, who want to serve Me, need truly not fear to succumb to his power, for the very fact that you stand up for Jesus Christ is also your secure protection against his attacks, for He Whom you confess before the world is also on your side, and the adversary will have to surrender to him, he will have to release you who consciously confess Jesus Christ and thus want to serve Me, Who will be recognized and known by you in Jesus .... But every person has to answer for his will. And therefore it is good to fully subject this will to Me, then the human being will truly not be able to want and think differently than it corresponds to My will, for then My will will also be in him. But it is impossible for Me to want contradictory things from you .... thus I will not put it into one person's heart to be active for Me and into another person's heart to oppose this activity and dissuade the former from doing so .... Thus My adversary must be able to express himself in the latter, who is interested in stopping the work for Me and in My will .... or at least to awaken doubts in you as to whether your work is God-willed. Devotion to Me protects you from wrong thinking and wrong will, and therefore I only ever admonish you to join Me ever more intimately, and then you can also walk safely and unconcernedly on earth under My guidance, for I Myself will then guide you to the aim ....

Amen

Increased challenges in the end time ....

B.D. 7212 from November 20th 1958, taken from Book No. 76

Do not believe that My adversary will leave you out, even if you have already turned to Me in your heart .... Although he will not be able to harm you precisely because of your will turned towards Me, he will nevertheless try again and again to bring you down. He will harass you wherever and however he can in order to influence your will, to weaken it and turn it back to the world which is his kingdom. But nevertheless, you of all people need not fear him because you have an extremely faithful helper at your side .... Me Myself, Whom you only need to call upon so that he will be pushed away from you. Especially in the last days he will try everything to increase his following, to win back those he believes to be lost. But in doing so he forgets one thing, that not he but I already have the right to your souls and that I no longer allow what has already voluntarily given itself to Me to be wrested from Me. Therefore you need not fear that he will take control of you, but you must not forget one thing either: to constantly attach yourselves more intimately to Me in order to be protected from his influence in My presence. Every inner restlessness, every agitation, every feeling of fear is a sign of his activity towards you, and because he betrays himself through this you only need to turn your eyes towards Me and he must and will give way. In the last days his efforts even go so far that he tries to prevent the spreading of light in a way which makes him appear extremely strong and powerful and throws you humans into doubt as to the divine task of spreading light to your fellow human beings .... And then you should always know that it is My adversary's cunning to confuse you. And you should be all the stronger in your resistance, you should firmly believe in your mission and work ever more diligently for Me and My kingdom. And soon his attacks will subside and your faith will grow and an inner calm will come over you, for then I will obviously stand by you and bless your activity. The closer it gets to the end the more violent his attacks will be but the closer I am to you and the more strength you will receive from Me. He cannot harm you as long as you seek the bond with Me, and therefore only ever maintain this bond and don't leave Me out of your thoughts, and his influence will be able to have an ever decreasing effect on you, you will already be able to push him away from you through a heartfelt thought of Me, Who is always present to you in every adversity and danger. Let Me be your first and last thought .... and truly, nothing can happen to you, for My angels protect you from all attacks by the enemy of your souls, and their power is strong, and their will is to serve Me and thus also all who are and want to remain Mine forever ....

Amen

Working of the adversary in the garb of the angel of light ....

B.D. 8583 from August 9th 1963, taken from Book No. 90

You will still often be exposed to My adversary's temptations, yet you must not allow yourselves to become discouraged and only ever turn your eyes towards Me, and his influence on you will constantly weaken the more you strive towards Me and maintain your bond with Me. Again and again he will try to prevent you in your vineyard work, but as soon as only your will is strong to serve Me his activity will be in vain. He will run against the strength of your will, which is meant for Me and therefore will press it (you) at any time, because you recognize him. And that is why he will also often disguise himself and appear as angel of light and want to go together with you to then counteract you .... But you, My servants on earth, you stand in the light and therefore will not need to fear his goings-on because you will recognize and unmask him, no matter how well his mask is chosen .... He will want to do the same as you and will stop at nothing, and that is exactly why you should be attentive .... Because it is the last time where great freedom is still left to him, which he uses in the most evil way that he goes against Me, against truth, against everything what strives for perfection .... He will present erroneous spiritual material to men; he will make use of human intellect and judge it wrongly. He will always place the world more in the foreground and seek to undermine every bond with Me .... He will prevent people from thinking about Me, their God and creator, by repeatedly turning their thoughts towards the world and thereby making them unfit to concentrate on Me or to seek contact with Me in quiet hours .... You humans do not know what power is at his disposal before the end, which you yourselves grant him through your attitude, through your indifference towards Me and your wrongly directed will, which strives far more for the worldly kingdom than the spiritual kingdom and which can therefore also be worked on by My adversary .... I certainly also work against him, but I will not touch your freedom of will when you rather incline towards him than towards Me .... But again and again I will also protect those from his influence who have already given themselves to Me, who only ever strive towards Me and consciously turn away from him. And although he will not let go of them and his attempts will continue, he will gain little or no profit, for they recognize him and will not let themselves be deceived by him .... Because already the will to belong to Me protects men from his influence because he is then powerless where he sees Me and My presence. The light, which goes out from Me, blinds him and pushes him back .... and all men would be protected from his temptations, if they would only consciously establish the connection with Me, because then My presence is the safest protection from him. For he can only approach you in weaknesses or in the wrong direction of your will .... And he makes use of such opportunities. But the ones who are Mine can also be reassured that I never leave them without protection. Therefore do not become fickle when obstacles seemingly stand in your way by which you recognize the influence of My adversary .... Then only turn to Me that I give you increased power to be able to resist, that I therefore may be prepared for help, which you then are also allowed to experience at any time. For I will never leave you to him, you who have offered yourselves to Me for service .... he will never be able to push you away from the path which leads to Me, and I will never allow him to poison the seed which you receive from Me .... You will recognize brightly and clearly where weeds start to grow up, and you will remove them because I want to keep the seed pure, which is supplied to you and through you is also to fertilise the hearts of men, the fields, which you are to work and cultivate still before the end .... Therefore you are to prevent all mixing with foreign spiritual material, you are not to let yourselves be dazzled by beautiful words and speeches, which are only ever meant to pretend to be of value, yet are completely worthless, because they did not come forth from Me but from My adversary, who had camouflaged himself well in order to find entrance with blind people, who themselves do not yet possess the right faculty of judgement, in order to ward him off when he offers them his works of dazzle .... I will truly take care that My word remains pure as long as eager servants make themselves available to Me who themselves only desire truth and only ever want to represent the pure truth .... Because it is the last time before the end, and only pure truth can still bring salvation to men out of greatest spiritual trouble. My adversary will certainly try to undermine this, but where the will of man allows My working there he will not be able to assert himself .... And you, My servants, will recognize him despite his mask, and you will declare war on him and also be able to be certain of My support in this fight .... For he certainly has power over you, if you yourselves grant him this, but never over Me Myself, Who is with everyone whose will belongs to Me and who alone wants to serve Me ...._>Amen

"Be gentle as doves and wise as serpents!"

Prudence and gentleness ....

B.D. 3712 from March 13th 1946, taken from Book No. 47

Be prudent and gentle .... and you will be very successful if you want to work for Me and My kingdom .... And if you want to give My Word to people you have to pass it on just as I have given it to you, you have to offer it with love .... Love, however, is always the same; it expresses itself in gentleness and patience, in willingness to bestow happiness, in selfless giving. Thus, anyone who offers My Word has to feel the inner aspiration to make other people happy and do so with a joyful heart, and if he urges the other person it has to be in a most gentle manner, he must want to bestow happiness with an innermost sincerity. If he then is eager, his eagerness is commendable, but not if he meets with resistance and prevails and then uses harsh words which are not helpful to My cause. He always has to consider himself My representative and thus always display a loving nature too, and if fervour takes hold of him it has to be a righteous one which does not apply to other people but to falsehood and error, which he fights against and thus seeks to eliminate. The results of satanic work should and can be the object of utter disgust and contempt and also need to be denounced accordingly, but the Gospel from the heavens has to be given to people with gentleness and love or it will be ineffective. And thus you have to carry out your work with utmost prudence even when other people's spiritual state disgusts you, when their resistance tests your patience considerably. For what you proclaim is taught by love, hence love also has to express itself, and the bearer's loving nature has to be seen. Even so, you should speak on behalf of Me and My teaching with all firmness or the task I require you to do would not be work. You have to work diligently everywhere and with every human being .... You have to encourage them to act kindly and portray this as the only true service to God which is pleasing to Me and results in blessings and grace from above. My Word only teaches love, and when you encourage other people accordingly you are already spreading My Word .... Whether the human being's faithfulness to the offered Word results in a contact with Me entirely depends on his will, but a teaching given with gentleness is not without effect, it is more likely to impress than overzealous upholding of spiritual values which is not yet comprehensible to the other person because he has no love. Gentleness and prudence are important factors when spreading My teaching of love ....

However, if another person's arrogant spirit confronts you then you know that My adversary's spirit speaks through him .... which certainly calls for stronger words .... but in that case I Myself will put the words into your mouth, providing you quietly call upon Me for help to deal with people who carry this spirit in themselves. Because they have to be treated quite differently, they need to be disturbed from their arrogant contentment and guided into another way of thinking. And gentle speech will be of no use to them. But you will clearly know in your heart if or when there is still a possibility to change such people, and if you work for Me and My kingdom in association with Me you will also be enlightened by My spirit, who will put the words into your mouth enabling you to speak without hesitation as prompted by your heart. Prudence and gentleness and sincere prayer to Me will definitely lead to success, because then I will bless your work for My kingdom on this earth and in eternity ....

Amen

Vineyard work in the last time ....

B.D. 6466 from February 2nd 1956, taken from Book No. 69

The powers of darkness will gain the upper hand because the end is approaching .... Therefore you should not be surprised that divine activity is not recognized and that inhibitions are clearly recognizable even in those who certainly believe but have no such profound faith which allows them to speak and act freely and openly according to My will. The world is in the foreground and spiritual life appears untrustworthy to people, the gulf is too great and can only be bridged with difficulty, and therefore My workers will also find it difficult to establish contact, for more and more attention will always be paid to the world, and the dark forces will always intervene and rather find access into people's hearts. This is why we must also speak of a constant battle against darkness, and My own must also be fighters so that they will not be defeated themselves, so that they will not become weak in faith but establish the bond with Me so intimately that they draw strength from Me for unshakable faith. The will to work for Me and My kingdom also gives the faith the necessary strengthening, for no-one will need to do without My support who offers himself to Me for service. And I Myself assign the work for My kingdom to him as he is able to manage it. Thus everything will approach you in such a way that you will do and speak of your own accord as is right and expedient for the individual person. However, missionary activity on a large scale will only rarely be possible because only individual souls will still find their way to Me, whereas My adversary will exert far greater influence on people's will and I will only put a barrier in his way when his time has come .... And from this you can already recognize that the end is near, for he rages because he knows that he has not much time left, and he opens all gates of hell, as it has been announced for a long time .... But you who want to serve Me, you have an unusual supply of grace through My word .... Hence you need not fear its working but it will also be understandable to you why you can show little success .... Nevertheless, you should always approach your fellow human beings with the same love who allow themselves to be captured by the world, you should regard them as sick souls and always be ready to administer good medicine to them if they turn to you for help. But you should not try to determine them as long as they defend you, for then they are still under the control of My adversary who does everything to keep them away from Me and who therefore also obviously works against you so that you will be hostile .... But be gentle as doves and wise as serpents .... You should hold back where you feel this repulsion and wait until you are approached yourselves .... The work for Me and My kingdom certainly requires a fighting courage but also a wise approach against the camp of My opponents .... And I will take over this leadership Myself, so that you should only act when you feel the urge within yourselves, for then I Myself will place it in your heart .... The time will come when you can and must openly stand up for Me and My name. But your work shall still be carried out quietly where the resistance is still too great. Then commend this soul to Me for which you wrestle and only be prepared to step forward when it is necessary .... Only maintain the bond with Me at all times and don't let yourselves be captured by the world, then you need not fear becoming weak in hours of need .... Then you will be faithful servants to Me in the time to come when the decision is demanded of you to confess Me and My name before the world ....

Amen

Power of Faith

Working miracles in the end time ....

B.D. 3727 from March 27th 1946, taken from Book No. 47

And in My name you shall be able to work miracles. For the strength and power of My name shall be revealed at the end of days. This is no longer a compulsion of faith towards the faithless world, for people who have turned away from Me try to explain everything to themselves naturally; My believers, however, do not lack knowledge and therefore know that nothing is impossible as soon as it is carried out with My strength and with submission to My will. The last days require great signs so that My working will come to light, so that the last ones, the weak in spirit, will still find Me, who will thereby be strengthened so that their decision will be made in the right direction .... And My servants on earth will have extraordinary strength at their disposal and will be able to use it towards the weak and sick, towards those in need of spiritual and physical help who are not entirely without faith. For My adversary also works in a way that he expresses himself through false prophets, that he supplies people who are in bondage to him with strength to likewise accomplish things which seem supernatural in order to invalidate the true miracles I work through My spirit and thus turn the believers away from Me. Yet My allocation of strength is of a different kind, it does not depend on a person's strength of will but on his strength of faith, it is rooted in profound faith in Me and My support, and a person's love brings it to fruition, whereas overly strong will without faith in Me allows itself to be influenced by My adversary and he then carries out what My adversary wants, which never has love as its cause and is never love-awakening. Therefore, direct your attention to whether the miracles you see are works of love performed on suffering fellow human beings in need or whether they are works to increase earthly goods .... whether they are purely material works which do not express any love for fellow human beings. For if a miracle is intended for earthly splendour and advantage then it is not intended and caused by Me .... But if it liberates a person from physical or spiritual adversity then I Myself arrm at work and work through My servants on earth, to whom I bestow strength in increased measure in order to reveal Myself through them. And My servants will feel it when they are prompted by Me to perform miracles .... they will not perform something intellectually but suddenly be driven from within to speak and do deeds as soon as My strength flows through them through My will. Then they will not oppose Me but want the same, because I will announce this to them through My spirit and then they will speak and act as My organs, they will carry out My will, only visible to their fellow human beings through the person of the servant on earth, for the time of the end requires extraordinary activity so that I Myself, My might and strength and love, will become manifest .... so that the believers will be lifted up by it and the weak will still find their way to Me in the last hour before the final end comes ....

Amen

Requirement of power in the end time ....

B.D. 8186 from May 26th 1962, taken from Book No. 86

And in these last days you will have to make special use of My gifts of grace, for you are weak and need much strength which, however, I will constantly let flow to you if only you want to accept it, if only you accept it from My hands as an extraordinary gift of My love which wants to help you because you are in great need. I know about every individual person's weakness and his inability to cope with the demands made on him out of his own strength; yet with My strength he will succeed in mastering even the most difficult situation, for if he makes use of My strength then all weakness will have left him, then he will have the strength to overcome everything and emerge victoriously from all adversity. But he will come into adversity where he sometimes needs strength and shall request it, because I will not leave him without help if only he sincerely appeals to Me for the granting of strength .... In the end time it will often be difficult to keep faith in My help and to trustingly come to Me in every adversity, for the end time belongs to My adversary and he truly makes good use of it by letting people get into all kinds of distress where they shall become hopeless because he wants them not to find the path to Me. But if they take the path to Me they will also be assured of all kinds of help, for I will not leave anyone in adversity of body or soul who trustingly turns to Me and appeals to Me for the supply of strength to remedy all hardship with My help .... My adversary wants to prevent this, and therefore he will press you more and more and also let you fall into states of weakness where you believe that you cannot get out of it anymore, and then you will become despondent and discouraged. But you should always be certain that you, as My servants, can turn to your father at any time, Who will always provide you with everything you need for body and soul. For it is precisely as labourers in His vineyard that the adversary wants to make you unfit, because then the redeemer's work will suffer a loss, which he only strives to achieve in order not to lose any of his followers. And always remember this and resist him by taking your path to Me from where help always comes to you. And I will truly reward you for your loyalty and perseverance, and you will visibly experience My help, you will feel that I Myself am present to you and bless you, My servants, every hour you are active for Me. And it shall be a spiritual and earthly blessing for you if only you trustingly submit your needs to Me, for who else could remedy them if not I, your God and father of eternity, Who is unsurpassable in His love, wisdom and might? .... And I will always prove this love, wisdom and power of Mine to you so that your faith will be strengthened and you will no longer fear any oppression from My adversary? .... What seems impossible I want to make possible, and where human strength comes to an end My strength only begins to work. And thus I reward you for your loyalty and devotion to Me if only you always serve Me according to My will, if you don't let your vineyard work be held back by the one who is My adversary and who opposes Me with his resistance and also wants to transfer it to you in order to prevent you from receiving and distributing light to people whom he has plunged into darkness and who need a light from Me in order to find their way back to Me again .... But he shall not succeed in this, for I know that your will is strong and that you want to serve Me with your love, and such labours of love will truly not be unsuccessful and he will lose followers, but I will gain souls and they will be saved from the abyss to which My adversary wants to push people because he has no love in him but only hatred .... But love is stronger than hatred, and love will triumph ....

Amen

Urgency and blessing of activity for the kingdom of God ....

B.D. 3688 from February 16th 1946, taken from Book No. 47

I bless all those who serve Me, who declare themselves ready to cooperate in the redemption of erring souls in the last time before the end .... and to them I promise My protection .... eternally you will thank Me for having complied with My solicitation for your help, for this last activity of My believers on earth is of utmost importance, of most urgent necessity and of unnameable advantage for the willing souls. For the darkness on earth has become impenetrable and spiritual death the fate of those who do not save themselves from the darkness of night into the light of day. Yet they are no longer able to do so without help because people's will is totally weakened, if not wrong, and this help can only be brought to them by Me through fellow human beings, because I Myself cannot work directly on them. And thus, if I want to save those souls I require servants on earth who are active in My will, and this of their own free will. I could certainly awaken people and speak through them without their will, yet even less faith would be placed in them and the souls thus awakened by Me would not benefit from it either; furthermore, My servants themselves must appear as evidence of the truth of My word, they must visibly enliven My word through a way of life according to My will and the effect of it, for people shall be instructed by My servants, My word shall be proclaimed to them which comes directly to My servants from the spiritual kingdom, from the kingdom which is Mine and which I also want to prepare for people on earth in beatitude. The coming time will still bring many hardships and sufferings, and tormented people need comfort and strengthening and can only receive these through My word .... Therefore I must have representatives on earth who offer it to them, who first receive My word from Me and then pass it on unaltered so that it will not lose its strength, so that people can recognize that it is commanded by Me Myself. And these representatives of Mine must serve Me of their own free will, otherwise they cannot receive My precious gift themselves, for strength in this form can only be given to the one who opens himself and desires Me and My word. I Myself want to speak to people and only make use of a cover which, however, cannot forcibly become My abode but has to be offered to Me voluntarily. And only a few offer their services to Me, only a few shape themselves such that I can express Myself through their cover, only a few completely offer their will to Me and are willing to work as My instruments on earth. And the work in the coming time will increase in urgency and importance .... Thus I will also grant My protection to every individual who declares himself willing to do this work, so that he can work unhindered for Me as My representative on earth, who proclaims My word on My behalf in order to still save souls from destruction, in order to show them the path to Me so that they will not get lost forever. And thus I lovingly recruit co-workers for My kingdom, for I love all My living creations and want to help those who are in greatest spiritual adversity, but I also want to make those happy who are to convey the word to their fellow human beings on My behalf, who want to support Me in the redeeming activity on earth. They, too, have to go through hardship and suffering but they will never go without Me, they can constantly avail themselves of My strength which is available to them without measure. But those bear adversity and misery alone as long as they don't turn to Me in prayer. And to bring them the knowledge about the blessing of prayer, about the strength of faith and about the attention of My love is a work of mercy which brings great blessings to My representatives on earth as well as to My suffering fellow human beings. The spiritual darkness is so great that not enough light can be brought into it, and therefore I need bearers of light who shall chase away the darkness with My help .... I need them and bless their activity, I protect them in every adversity and danger, for anyone who is in My service is, as it were, a labourer of the spiritual kingdom to whom earthly measures cannot harm, no matter how threatening they appear and worry him. Anyone who belongs to Me, who has united with Me through his will, also enjoys My protection as long as I require him for an office on earth which is exceedingly necessary and can have beneficial consequences, depending on people's will. The last time has come and My servants must be exceedingly active, they must not allow themselves to be paralysed by earthly worries, they must not be deterred by earthly decrees .... I alone direct the destiny of all, but especially that of My co-workers on earth, in a way which is helpful and expedient for their mission. For countless souls on earth are in great need and shall be helped through you who want to serve Me and therefore can be certain of My blessing .... My blessing, however, means an everlasting supply of strength and grace, an everlasting willingness to help and an everlasting presence .... And thus you may expect every day without worry, you may devote yourselves to your spiritual work without worry and only wait for My call which you will clearly feel as such as soon as the hour of your activity for Me has come. For it will not be long before your mission begins .... that your work is only meant for Me, that your thoughts are only spiritually directed because I will judge all earthly things for you so that you can be unhindered in your activity in My name ....

Amen
