Autobiography of Bertha Dudde

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Following Jesus Christ ....

B.D. 7544 from March 10th 1960, taken from Book No. 79

You are always urged to follow Christ, and again and again Jesus' suffering and death on the cross is therefore placed before your eyes so that you yourselves take the path to the cross and thus also walk the path of discipleship, as soon as you have recognized His act of salvation as a work of mercy which no human being accomplished on earth before or after Jesus. And if you acknowledge Jesus Christ as God's son and redeemer of the world, then you will also carry your sins under His cross and ask Him to shed His blood for you too .... You will ask Him for forgiveness of your sins and be willing to walk the path of following Jesus, i.e., to love and suffer on earth. You can only redeem yourselves through love and suffering if you bear your suffering in view of Jesus Christ, for He alone makes you able to do so, otherwise you will collapse under the cross which is imposed on you during your earthly life. With Jesus Christ, however, the cross will become easy for you, for He will help you to carry it .... Yet you don't know what blessing your soul will receive if it takes up its cross and follows Jesus, you don't know how much faster it will mature if it humbly bears the suffering it is burdened with and yet looks up to the cross of the saviour and redeemer Who died for it in order to make it possible for it to be released from its guilt. And it will find forgiveness, for Jesus Christ has redeemed all people from sin and death who want to become free from their adversary, from the enemy of their souls. You should walk the path of following Jesus .... This also includes a measure of suffering which you must be willing to endure and which Jesus' love has burdened you with, so that you will always come closer to Him, so that you will call upon Him when it seems too difficult for you .... But you should try to bear it because then you will follow Him, Who preceded you on the path to the cross. Through His path to the cross He opened the way to eternal beatitude, and if you now follow Him on this path you will also reach the gates through which you can enter the kingdom of light. But the path of following Jesus will always mean a path of suffering which will only become passable for you through love, because love is strength and then you will also endure the cross which is burdened upon you. It was the infinite love of the man Jesus which gave Him the strength to walk the path of the cross to the end, and love will also be the source of strength for you which makes the path of suffering easier for you, which lets you become overcomers. But without love and suffering your soul will not be able to mature, without love and suffering it will stay away from the path to the cross .... Therefore, take up your cross without grumbling and carry it until the end, and it will become increasingly easier for you, for the divine cross-bearer Jesus Christ walks beside you and He will lighten your burden, He will support and strengthen you because you are willing to follow Him ....

Amen

Jesus' work of love and mercy ....

B.D. 7545 from March 11th 1960, taken from Book No. 79

You should always look towards the cross, you should always remember the saviour Jesus Christ, Who died for you on the cross .... You should always try to imagine His bitter pain and suffering which He endured for your sins, so that your guilt of sin was redeemed and you could enter the spiritual kingdom again unburdened, the kingdom of light, the gates of which Jesus Christ, the divine redeemer, opened for you. For your sins He suffered, for your sins He died on the cross .... He, Who Himself was without sin, took your guilt of sin upon Himself and went the way to the cross for you. And He did it out of immense love for you humans, whom He knew to be in greatest spiritual need, whom He wanted to release from the fetters of the adversary who had held you captive for eternities. It was a work of love and mercy, such as has only once been accomplished by a human being who was not differently aligned like you, but only harboured so much love in His heart that He wanted to sacrifice Himself for His suffering fellow human beings. And it was this love which gave Him the strength for His act of salvation, it was this love which drove His will, which enabled Him to endure immense suffering and pain and to walk the path of the cross until the end, until His exaltation on the cross, until His agonizing death. But love was God .... It was God Himself Who sacrificed Himself on the cross, it was the eternal love Who suffered and died for humanity. And this love needed a human shell which endured suffering and pain .... a shell in which the greatest work of mercy ever experienced by humanity took place .... This sacrifice on the cross cannot be remembered often enough, because it was unique and yet applied to all of humanity, to the people of the past, the present and the future .... Again and again people must experience that the work of redemption has been accomplished for all of them; again and again they must hear that they themselves also belong to the redeemed if their will is willing to accept the graces of the work of redemption .... Again and again people must remember the divine redeemer, they must turn their gaze to the one Who died on the cross for humanity .... they must imagine their own sinfulness and know that the divine redeemer also died for these sins, providing they are carried to Him, under His cross .... that the human being therefore wants to become free from them and appeals to Jesus Christ for forgiveness of his guilt. The human being must consciously take a stand towards Him and His act of salvation. And therefore he should always remember that he would be lost without Him, the divine redeemer Jesus Christ .... He alone is his saviour from deepest adversity, He alone forgives his guilt, He alone leads him into the kingdom of light and bliss when he has handed over his guilt to Him and asks Him for redemption .... And therefore no man's life is hopeless, no matter how much he has sinned .... One took all guilt upon Himself and redeemed it on the cross out of immense love. And you should acknowledge this one, you should know and believe that Jesus was the son of God, that He was a human being Who harboured a soul of light within Himself which was so full of love that it was able to contain eternal love Itself and that this 'eternal love' walked the earth in order to suffer and die for people .... in order to redeem them. And if you believe and acknowledge God Himself in Jesus you will also become free from all guilt, you will be able to enter eternal life as He has promised you ....

Amen

Understanding God's incarnation ....

B.D. 7546 from March 12th 1960, taken from Book No. 79

You should mention every teaching which comes to you from above about the problem of My human manifestation in Jesus, for they will always contribute towards giving light to the human being who longs for light. Precisely this problem is much disputed, and even if people want to accept the existence of the man Jesus they are nevertheless not aware of His actual mission, and they cannot understand that I Myself walked across earth in the man Jesus. But it is of great importance to acknowledge Me Myself in Him because the redemption of every individual person depends on it. The beings which once detached themselves from Me in arrogance, which did not want to acknowledge Me as their lord and therefore fell abysmally, absolutely have to take the path of return to Me, and this includes that they acknowledge Me as their God and creator, as their father of eternity .... I died for this great sin of the former apostasy from Me in the man Jesus on the cross, thus I redeemed the great sin through My suffering and death .... But this also includes the complete return of will to Me, which therefore also requires an acknowledgement of Me .... an acknowledgement of the man Jesus as God's Son, in Whom the eternal deity Himself embodied Himself, so that Jesus Christ must therefore be acknowledged as God and the human being must turn to Him in order to thereby also prove the acknowledgement of Myself. It is difficult to make this problem comprehensible to the human being, but as soon as he knows about the aim of all people on earth, that the soul has to spiritualize itself in order to accept the original being again, then it is also possible to understand that the human being Jesus had spiritualized Himself in such a way..., that I, as the eternal love, could take abode in Him, that His original nature thus completely corresponded to Mine, that we were no longer two but one and thus I Myself accomplished the act of salvation which ended with the most painful death on the cross .... I am a spirit Who fills the whole universe, I cannot be personified as a limited form as you imagine, but I was able to take a form as My abode, I was able to radiate this form fully and completely with My spirit, and then this form also had to be Me Myself. It was only the outer shell of a human being, but what was in this outer shell was divine spirit, that was I Myself from eternity .... Again and again this teaching shall be brought to people, for again and again I try to guide people into truth through My word, to give them full understanding for the greatest mystery, for My incarnation in Jesus, so that you will learn to recognize why Jesus Christ has to be acknowledged, why you should call upon Him and then only ever call upon Me Myself. As long as you humans lack this understanding you will also have a certain indifference towards Jesus Christ, because you only ever look at the work of the man Jesus but cannot find a spiritual connection which is the basis of His mission on earth. But you humans were the reason for this act of salvation, you humans caused Jesus' descent, your original sin was the motive for My incarnation in Jesus, for only I Myself was able to redeem this original sin because it was too great for you to have been able to pay it off yourselves, even if it had been your will. And I had to use a human shell to do so .... a shell which was able to suffer and die like any other human being but which, by virtue of the spirit of God sheltering within it, was able to endure unusual suffering which any other human being would have succumbed to prematurely. So I Myself took on such a cover and became a 'human being' ..... But the human being, Who served Me as a cover, was 'God' at the same time, for only the outer cover was matter, but what this cover contained was spirit in all fullness, for My spirit permeated everything in Him, His body and His soul, because the human being Jesus had prepared Himself such that I could take abode in Him. Nevertheless, He died as a human being on the cross, He bore immense suffering which I allowed to suffice as a sacrifice of atonement for the whole of humanity, for all people of the past, the present and the future. And if the human being wants this problem to become comprehensible to him, then he will also be given the understanding for it. Nevertheless, there must be messengers who receive and pass on My pure word, and everyone of good will will also feel inwardly touched when he is given information about the extent to which Jesus was God and I, as your God and father, became human .... But the degree of his understanding depends on the degree of love which fills a person's heart .... Love will kindle a light for him and he will also recognize the light of eternity, Which Itself became human in order to redeem people from sin and death ....

Amen

God is a kind, merciful judge ....

B.D. 7547 from March 13th 1960, taken from Book No. 79

You will always be pointed to My infinite love and mercy, and therefore every sinner shall fearlessly come to Me and appeal to Me for forgiveness of his guilt of sin .... I walked the earth as a human being, I experienced all weaknesses of My fellow human beings as a human being, I had understanding for them because I Myself was human .... I look down with immense love on all people who are at fault and My mercy wants to help them. But they have to come to Me themselves and entrust themselves to Me, and therefore they have to know about My love so that they will have faith in Me, Who does not condemn them but wants to help them to become free from their sins. For the sinner is still under My adversary's control, he is still a slave to him, and therefore he will remain in sin as long as he has not yet escaped from My adversary. But he will only be released from him when he takes refuge in Me to help him .... And he will only take refuge in Me when he has recognized Me as a kind, merciful judge under Whose power he willingly submits .... Therefore you should not speak of a God of wrath, of an unmerciful judge who mercilessly condemns what has become sinful .... My love and mercy know no bounds, and if your sins were as red as blood I would wash you white as snow .... you can believe this, for you are all My creatures who came forth from My love and whom I will love for all eternity. You just have to recognize your guilt, you have to admit yourselves that you have become guilty and come to Me with this admission .... And you must approach Me in Jesus Christ for forgiveness of your guilt. For I died on the cross for this guilt and thus redeemed it. You should always remember that I am a God of love, not a God of wrath. The fact that My justice cannot endow you with beatitude should only ever make you strive to establish a just balance yourselves, which consists of you recognizing and confessing your guilt .... that you appeal to Me for forgiveness in order not to fall prey to My justice, which may not be eliminated despite My greater than great love, because justice belongs to My perfect nature. Yet since I Myself redeemed the guilt on the cross, you need only want Me to have shed My blood for you too, and then you can also avail yourselves of the blessings of My act of salvation .... You can count on full forgiveness of your sins because My love has redeemed them. And I call out to all sinners: Come to Me, under My cross, and cast off your burden of sin .... and you will be set free from it, because My love and mercy wants to prepare a blissful fate for you .... because I want you to return to Me from Whom you once came forth ....

Amen

God's endless, immeasurable love ....

B.D. 7548 from March 14th 1960, taken from Book No. 79

You will eternally not need to do without My love, for My fundamental nature is love, thus I cannot help but show love to you, My living creations, whether you are worthy of it or not .... Even your apostasy from Me could not reduce this love, because this is not possible or My nature would change, which is eternally supremely perfect, thus it also has to emanate unlimited love. If it were possible for you to grasp this infinite love of Mine you would also reciprocate My love, because you would open yourselves to My illumination of love and be unable to do otherwise than push towards Me in love. But because you are still imperfect you cannot imagine My all-encompassing love, you measure with human yardsticks and also set limits to My love, and therefore you are also unaware of My attitude of love which is always and constantly valid for you, especially during your time on earth when you are supposed to prove yourselves. The fact that I Myself am love is still incomprehensible to you humans as long as you have not changed yourselves into love .... Therefore you will only be able to understand everything when your nature has become love, but then you will already have come so close to Me that you will also feel My great love for you, and then you can also be called blessed, even if you still live on earth. But first I want to impart this knowledge of My love to you, you should have faith in Me, you should not see the distant God in Me but your father Who lovingly looks after His children and does not want them to go to ruin. You should know that everything that affects you fate-wise is determined by My love, for My wisdom recognizes what serves you, and because I want you to become blessed I also use the means which promise success. My love for you is exceedingly great, and if it were to be united with My righteousness, with My perfection, I would create unlimited beatitudes for all of you because I want you to be happy .... But the law of eternal order requires a degree of maturity for these beatitudes, a state which only love can create .... Therefore you first have to change yourselves into love before My love can make you completely happy. But it is always and forever meant for you, and if you were able to imagine that I embrace you with heartfelt love despite your inadequate state of maturity, you would also give yourselves to Me without restraint and bridge the wide gulf which still keeps us apart as long as you keep away from Me .... try to imagine My great love for you, try to come close to My heart, awaken love for Me in yourselves and now give Me your heart .... try it and it will only be for your own good, for then you will be willing to unite with Me, and this will is already blessed and will also lead you to the aim. Always remember that My love is unlimited and that it encompasses everything that has emerged from it .... And you are My living creations whom I want to make into My children .... This is why My love always and forever belongs to you and will also reach its aim one day, so that it can radiate through you again as it once did, so that it will make you unimaginably happy because My love knows no limits ....

Amen

Disbelief in an end ....

B.D. 7549 from March 15th 1960, taken from Book No. 80

There is not much time left until the end .... even if you believe that the announced end will be in the distant future .... you will be surprised how the signs will increase and the point in time you live in will become only too evident. But everything will always proceed within the framework of natural progression, and that will raise your hope time and again that the end is still far away. However, your will shall remain free until the last day, for you cannot reach your goal by force which consists of establishing your bond with Me, of voluntarily raising your hands to Me and thereby acknowledging Me, Whom you did not want to acknowledge until now. Earthly life will therefore make great demands on you, you will have to endure many adversities and always have the opportunity to turn to Me .... But everything will take place entirely naturally, although the awakened person will recognise it as the last signs before the end. And if I repeatedly proclaim that you are shortly before the end .... that you are only granted a little more time on this earth, then you should take this declaration very seriously and not always relate it to the future in line with people's point of view .... You ought to understand the words as they are given to you, you ought to take them literally, and you will do well by doing so .... For the time is close at hand when the earth will be cleansed and a new earth will arise again .... But regardless of how urgently I speak to you, you don't want to believe it, and I cannot provide you with any other evidence that My Word is truth other than that you will soon be shocked by a natural event and that you can then equally surely count on the end. Yet do you know whether you will survive the former or fall victim to this natural event?

Hence you should likewise consider it an end, for many people will thereby find their demise, and their life will not last much longer anymore. So don't be thoughtless and prepare yourselves, even if earthly life around you shapes itself as if only progress and prosperity exist .... Just one day, and everything will have disappeared and fallen prey to the destruction of natural forces, and the survivors will be presented with dreadful sights, because it is My will that they should come to their senses and still use the remaining time of grace they have left until the end. For everything I announce to you humans through seers and prophets will come to pass word for word, and you will soon experience the truth of My Word, and blessed is he Who accepted My Word and then found his path to Me, for in great adversity he will always find a way out, he will manifestly experience My help which I have promised to all of you who call upon Me ....

For this reason I speak to you, so that you can appeal to Me for strength in advance and then in utmost distress, when you only have My help to rely on .... you will receive it, for I do not forget My Own .... Therefore take care that you are counted amongst My Own ....Call upon Me in times of need, and I will answer your prayer ....

Amen

Revival of the spirit .... address of God ....

B.D. 7550 from March 16th 1960, taken from Book No. 80

The word of God is offered to you as pure as it flows from the mouth of God .... He speaks to you and you hear Him, you can hear His voice because He speaks through a human being to all of you who desire to hear Him .... You are in contact with the eternal word, for the word Itself leans towards you and desires entrance into your hearts. The eternal deity, the supreme spirit in infinity, empties Himself towards you, He makes His will known to you, He guides you into truth, He gives you knowledge and also gives you the right understanding for it .... But He demands one thing: that you listen to Him with an awakened spirit, otherwise everything presented to you will remain incomprehensible to you. Thus God requires you to awaken your spirit to life, and this means that you are initially willing to come close to God. And when He then makes His will known to you through His word, you will understand this will of His and strive to fulfil it .... you will endeavour to live in love .... And then the spirit in you will also be awakened to life through love, and then everything conveyed to you through the word of God will be understandable to you .... And thus you first have to be given the opportunity to listen to His word so that you will be encouraged to look for an approach to Him, so that His will will be made known to you, the fulfilment of which will result in the awakening of the spirit. And only then can further knowledge be offered to you such that you understand it and it can benefit your soul. And then you will also remain in constant contact with the word of eternity, for then you will desire His address and God will not deny Himself to you .... He will speak to you directly or through His messengers who will bring His word to you. And the people who have already given life to their spirit will always feel touched by God's address .... they will recognize the father's voice straight away, and they will be delighted to be addressed by Him. Nevertheless, the word of God shall also be brought to those who are still unawakened, they, too, shall hear His voice, and they will feel addressed or remain untouched according to their will .... but the grace has been offered to them which they must use in order to also experience their blessing. But the fact that eternal love condescends to speak to you humans is an overwhelming grace which you all don't make enough use of, for hearing the heavenly father's voice is the most beautiful thing for your soul which can be offered to it on earth. God speaks with His creature, the father speaks with His child .... His word sounds clearly and purely, and every word from His mouth is truth which will always make people happy as long as it remains unadulterated and pure. This is why only the awakened spirit can hear His voice and recognize it as His voice, whereas the unawakened person can certainly be offered the same from outside and lacks the understanding for it until he, too, has awakened the spirit within himself to life. But then he is blissfully happy when he recognizes the father's voice and feels addressed by Him. And thus you will all be addressed by God if you heartily desire to hear Him, for then His word will be imparted to you, always in a way which is beneficial for you and your souls, as you adjust yourselves and give Him the opportunity that He can address you .... be it through hearing or reading or through the inner word which can be heard by a person in direct contact with God if it is God's will that he receives His word for himself and his fellow human beings in order to spread it and convey it to all those who likewise desire to hear God .... The will and desire for His address also secures it for you, for God reveals Himself to everyone who loves Him and keeps His commandments ...._>Amen

Faith can move mountains ....

B.D. 7551 from March 17th 1960, taken from Book No. 80

Faith can move mountains .... But which of you humans has such strong faith? You are all still too weak in faith because you are also too weak in love, for only love gives faith strength, because love itself is strength .... And thus a person's degree of love will always determine how strong his faith is. And therefore it is also understandable why humanity can be called faithless, for love has grown cold amongst people and therefore there can be no true, living faith where love is missing. But where faith is no longer to be found humanity also lives in profound spiritual darkness, for it cannot be given bright knowledge, and the spiritual knowledge imparted to people is not believed .... and faithless humanity lives in deepest darkness, whereas everything is bright and clear for a person who has gained a living faith through love. And this person only needs to increase his degree of love in order to attain a faith which can move mountains. Yet there are only a few people on this earth who possess such strong faith, and these are also capable of unusual activity which always expresses their high degree of love. They will be able to heal the sick, they will be able to work miracles, for the strength of their faith unites them even more closely with God so that, in union with Him, they will now also be able to accomplish everything their love commands them to do. For it will only ever be the working of love which arises from the strength of faith. The great, overpowering love drives them to help those who are in need, and the strength of faith also always ensures the success of their plan. Faith can move mountains .... Thus nothing is impossible for a person who calls such strong faith his own, which he has gained through love .... But people will always doubt it as long as they don't also live in love which has already earned them a faith which is alive, although it has only reached a low degree. Yet living faith is evidence of love, and love also gives light to the one who desires light .... And he will soon recognize the strength of faith, and it will no longer be difficult for him to have a living faith himself .... and then he only needs to increase his degree of love in order to also feel that the strength of his faith becomes ever stronger .... And then he will also stand up for what he believes with conviction, and he will feel his own strength growing and no longer doubt that a strong faith can also move mountains .... As soon as he has love he also possesses strength, and he can now use this strength as his love dictates .... He will turn it towards his neighbour who is in need, he will be able to help him where help often seems impossible, for he possesses a strong faith and does not work alone but with God Who is in him ...._>Amen

Unusual gift of grace ....

B.D. 7552 from March 18th 1960, taken from Book No. 80

And you have truly been given much grace to receive My word, for you now have proof that your God and father takes care of you, that He will not leave you in adversity even though you have created it yourselves. I do not leave you to your fate, even if you have chosen it voluntarily, but I help you to become free from all burden which signifies the guilt of sin you are in. You receive My word from above, I am present to you and speak to you, you can hear My voice, and you also sense that it is My voice if only a spark of faith and love is left in you. And therefore I speak to you again and again in order to kindle this spark, so that it will become bright in you and you can precisely recognize the path you have to take in order to come out of the valley of sin and death. I kindle a light in you and now you also recognize that your path is not the right one, that you have to turn back if you want to reach the right aim. And My word always presents the right aim to you, My word admonishes and warns you and encourages you to seek and take the right path .... You only need to listen to Me, you only need to pay attention to My word, and you will be guided on the right path and safely reach the aim, to Me, Who is your father from eternity. Oh, if only you would all pay attention to this great grace, if only you would all desire to hear your father's voice .... You would truly turn back on your path, you would give up the previous way of life and strive for only one aim: Me Myself, Who addresses you with heartfelt love and Whose love you could also feel if only you would always make an effort of good will to do what is right. For you can only hear Me or recognize My word as the father's voice if you desire to be addressed by your father .... And if My messengers offer you My word then you should not reject it but first let yourselves be addressed by Me. And you would feel that I speak to you if you received My word into your hearts completely impartially and moved it therein .... This grace of My address is granted to many people, for I know where My messengers carry My word which they receive directly from Me .... I know which path this word will take, and I bless all those who gratefully receive it and allow themselves to be addressed by Me .... who are willing to listen to their father in heaven and who open their hearts when My address is sounded to them. For not only the ear and intellect shall receive it but it shall be moved in the heart, and it will also touch the heart like the loving word of the father Who speaks to His child. And thus My grace will never stop bestowing Itself upon you, My love will always find its way to you who are willing to make contact with Me; you will hear words of love and comfort, words of instruction and admonition, you will be addressed as you need it for your souls to mature, and your heart will rejoice when you open it to grant Me entrance when I want to address it Myself .... And if the human being now recognizes My unusual gift of grace and allows it to take effect in him, he will achieve great spiritual gain, his soul will mature, it will seek the bond with Me and never ever want to relinquish it, it will constantly desire to hear the father's address and always listen to what the father has to say to it .... And I will be able to speak to My child and impart profound wisdom to it .... Yet the gift of grace must always be recognized and desired, the child must always want to go to the father and listen to His address, it must always desire Me Myself and I will give Myself to it, I will give it what its soul needs for maturity ...._>Amen

Will guarantees the power to work the vineyard ....

B.D. 7553 from March 19th 1960, taken from Book No. 80

To whom I give an office I also give the ability to administer it .... And whomever I have chosen to work in My vineyard will also be able to do so, for he receives from Me everything that is necessary for this .... He receives the right seed and also the strength to work with it according to My will. Only he must have offered himself to Me for service, for no human being will need to do such work against his will, because then it would be pointless, for success can only be achieved where love is active. And thus a true vineyard labourer should carry out his work with love .... The preacher of My teaching should take the spiritual hardship of his fellow human being to heart and try to remedy this hardship .... Then he will truly be able to achieve good success, then his work will be successful and bring him blessings. And everyone will be able to create and work according to his ability, for I will place everyone where he finds a suitable field of work which he can then also master. Therefore only the earnest will is necessary to be allowed to work for Me in My vineyard, and he will now also be assigned the work as he can manage it, as it corresponds to his ability. And every labourer in My vineyard should also wait until I call him to the right activity, for I know when the day and hour has come for him to work, and then I will call him Myself and he will gladly do his work. I need all of you, My servants on earth, for there is great spiritual hardship and much of the good seed with which I provide for you beforehand still has to be scattered so that you will not lack it. And My seed is My word which comes to you from above. Anyone who passes on this word of Mine, who ensures that it is spread, is a good worker for Me and will truly be blessed, for people need My word, the gospel must be proclaimed to them, they must know about My will, about My commandments, about their task on earth and about all difficulties they are facing .... They must know that they are close to the end and that they should do nothing more urgently than work on their souls, because there is not much time left. This is the task of every servant on earth who has entrusted himself to Me to work in My vineyard. Each one shall draw his fellow human beings' attention to the word from above, each one shall proclaim the father's great love Who wants to win His children back, each one shall pass on the divine teaching of love which makes My will known to them. Then he will be a good servant and I will reward his work .... And no-one need fear that he is not up to this work, for everyone will also have the opportunity to do so, for I will guide his fellow human beings into the way as they are willing to accept My word, and it will then arise of its own accord whether they accept My word or not. But you, My servants on earth, you must be mediators through whom I Myself can address people who do not yet allow a direct address. And thus you only need to want to serve Me and everything will approach you such that you will thus serve Me, consciously or unconsciously. For it is truly easy for Me to give you the gift of speech when you need it, when I want to address a fellow human being through you. But I must possess your will, which is free .... And I bless his will if it applies to Me and wants to contribute towards the redemption of the unfree .... And I will also always give you as much strength as you need for your vineyard work .... You will always be able to do it because this work is the most important and therefore it is also My will that you work with My strength. Therefore, never fear becoming unfit for work which is particularly urgent in the last days before the end and which has to be carried out of your own free will, for I keep My servants capable as long as I need their services .... And I also know how long you are still to serve Me and what task I set for everyone in the last days before the end .... And as long as I provide you with strength and protectively hold My hands over you .... and as long as you shall also fulfil your office which I have assigned to you ...._>Amen

Urgent address to vineyard workers ....

B.D. 7554 from March 20th 1960, taken from Book No. 80

My blessing will truly not fail to come to all who want to serve Me in the last days before the end .... If I repeatedly admonish you to diligently work in the vineyard, there is certainly a reason for it, for I know about the great spiritual hardship which can only be controlled through spiritual help, which consists precisely of My word being conveyed to people. I want to address everyone, but not everyone opens his ear and heart to hear Me Myself. And therefore I have to speak to them through mediators, I have to make use of you who have easier access to fellow human beings, and you now have to speak instead of Me wherever possible. And thereby you render Me a service which I alone can measure in its value. All people are My children whom I want to win before the end. But all people have free will and therefore I must also allow them the freedom of thought, will and action. And they often abuse this and I cannot stop them. Only through you can I send them admonitions and warnings, only through you can I draw their attention to their actual earthly task, only through you can I impart My teaching of love to them. And therefore I need you, and I bless every activity which applies to this vineyard work .... And you should not worry about your earthly and spiritual well-being, for like a good householder I will take care of My servants who serve Me voluntarily. I Myself will assign the work to you, I will guide you to the people you should work on in the vineyard, I will direct your thoughts correctly so that you speak where it is necessary and that you remain silent where your work would be useless .... You need only ever rely on My guidance as soon as you entrust yourselves to My guidance, as soon as you are willing to serve Me. You should not miss a single day when you can work for Me and My kingdom, for the time is approaching when you will have to make your decision, when you will all have to confess for or against Me. And then it will be difficult to work in the vineyard, then everyone will have to entrust himself to Me so that he will stand firm in the last battle of faith on this earth .... And then you shall have already scattered much seed in the hearts of your fellow human beings which will then also sprout and bear fruit when the adversity is great and they will be able to recognize the strength of a strong faith in yourselves. Work on the souls of your fellow human beings, and work on yourselves .... accumulate much strength which you will be able to receive abundantly through your service for Me .... Serve Me with all your strength and it will only be a blessing for you, and you will contribute towards the salvation of many souls which need help to be guided onto the right path. Serve Me with all love, and then you will also serve your neighbour and help him in spiritual adversity. For this is great and can only be reduced if you convey My word to your fellow human beings, which is blessed with My strength .... For then I Myself will be able to speak to them through you and many a heart will still open itself to My word and be saved from death ...._>Amen

"Do not worry about what you shall say ...."

B.D. 7555 from March 21st 1960, taken from Book No. 80

Do not worry about what you shall say .... The time will come when you will have to answer for your spiritual activity. But then remember My word that I will put the words into your mouth, that the spirit from Me will give you what you speak and how you act. For he will guide you, i.e. I Myself will always be with you when it is necessary to speak for Me and My name, when it is necessary to defend the work for My kingdom, which is extremely important in the last days before the end. Then you will speak freely and openly and hardly anyone will be able to refute you, for no one will be a match for your explanations. You will stand up for the truth which cannot be refuted to you, and it will be possible to also present My word to those who have not had the opportunity to hear it so far .... And depending on their will they will accept or reject it. A time will come when you will be forbidden vineyard work, when it will be difficult to do it because the open battle against everything spiritual will begin .... And then much work shall already have been done so that now the seed can take root and the little plant will spread, so that the individual's power of resistance will be so strong that he will remain faithful to Me during this time of struggle. And everyone who is serious will experience My strengthening and need not fear that he will fail, that the enemies are stronger than he .... he will find the right support with Me, Whom he only needs to call upon in order to receive the necessary strength to fight for his faith. The time will only be short when My adversary will openly come forward to take action against Me Myself, for I will shorten the days for the sake of My chosen ones. They shall not have to fear becoming weak in the battle and therefore I will end it quickly. I will be with all who want to remain faithful to Me and I will provide them with unusual strength .... And when they have to answer, it will be I Myself Who speaks through them, and truly so that they will be unable to reply .... But the adversary will also fight with cunning and treachery, for he knows that the end is near and that his power will then be over .... Therefore he will rage beforehand and want to cause confusion in My camp, but he will run against solid walls which My angels form around all My faithful .... And then I Myself will come in the clouds and fetch My own to Me .... The day of judgment will dawn which will end all adversity of My own and usher in a new era .... And it will come as it is proclaimed through word and scripture ...._>Amen

God's act of creation and goal ....

B.D. 7556 from March 22nd 1960, taken from Book No. 80

The act of creation was the result of My love .... both the creation of the spiritual beings in My image as well as all earthly-material creations after the apostasy. My love wanted to give itself, it wanted to find itself again in the beings made in My image, which essentially were miniatures of Me. I was impelled by My infinite love to place such beings next to Me in whom I could find Myself again and to whom I could give My unlimited love. The fact that these beings fell away from Me was known to Me from the start and I did not prevent them from doing so, because it was their free will and because only then was it possible for Me to have 'children' next to Me instead of 'living creations', which was the goal of My act of creation. It will certainly take a long time until the deification of My living creations has been achieved, yet time means nothing to Me, but the goal I set for Myself has also been the cause of the various earthly-material creations, for they are the path which the once fallen spiritual beings will have to travel in order to return to Me, from Whom they once came forth. And even if this process of deification requires an infinitely long time until the being has undertaken it of its own free will .... one day it will nevertheless be able to create and work next to Me and then be indescribably happy. Yet in the meantime it will have to pass through many seemingly endless phases in constriction and torment .... at first in solid matter and then in the plant- and animal world until it has reached the stage of a human being, where it enjoys a certain amount of freedom but not the kind of freedom which had been its original state.

However, it can attain this freedom as long as it lives as a human being on earth. Since the being emerged from My love, and thus its fundamental substance is love too, it need only allow itself to be illuminated by Me and thus direct its hitherto averted will back to Me again .... Then the being, which had become disfigured due to its wrong resolve, will change back to its fundamental nature of love again .... And then it will also deify itself in line with My eternal plan and I will have achieved My goal: My living creation will have voluntarily changed itself into My child and is incomparably happy .... But this re-transformation into love is always subject to free will. And in the stage of a human being this free will can also turn in the wrong direction again without being prevented by Me .... Hence such a process of re-transformation can also take an eternity, because free will is never interfered with and therefore the being determines the duration of its wretched state itself. Nevertheless, it is able to reach its goal in one developmental period and it will be supported in every way to reach its goal. For My love pursues the being because it is a living creation that had emerged from My love. Thus you humans can see what an important factor free will plays in your earthly life, which is not subject to compulsion, neither from My nor from My adversary's side .... And thus My only endeavour is to teach you to recognise the significance of your free will so that you will then direct it appropriately. I can only ever influence you to direct your will correctly but not force you, just as My adversary is unable to do, but he can influence you just the same in order to gain your will for himself. However, you must make your own free decision and blessed are you if you take the right path, if you find your way to Me and strive for unity with Me again, from which you once voluntarily detached yourselves .... Blessed are you if you, in this earthly life as a human being, succeed in reaching the goal during one period of Salvation .... that you will become free from every form and thus be able to enter into eternity as free and fully enlightened beings of light when your existence on this earth has come to an end ....

Amen

Fight against selfish love ....

B.D. 7557 from March 23rd 1960, taken from Book No. 80

Much is demanded of you if you are still completely dominated by selfish love, for then it means a struggle for you to overcome it and change it into unselfish neighbourly love. But you must remember that you only take care of your body as long as you satisfy your selfish love and that you do not collect any spiritual treasures which will one day make up your wealth in the kingdom of the beyond. You must remember that your stay on this earth is not eternal but that you have to fulfil a task: to change your nature into love; for you enter earth as a human being with only a small degree of pure, selfless love, which you should now increase if you don't first have to kindle love in yourselves .... But selfish love dominates you, and you should suppress it, which always means a fight against all desires which demand fulfilment for physical comfort. Your attention must be directed towards your fellow human being, and it must be the human being's endeavour to carry out works of love if he wants to change himself, i.e. his nature, into love. He must learn to renounce for the sake of his neighbour, he must be willing to make sacrifices for the sake of his neighbour, he must be urged from within to do good to his fellow human being, and his self-love will become ever smaller the stronger the human being's will. And that is why it is said that the “kingdom of heaven suffers violence, and only the one who needs violence seizes it for himself'." Whose selfish love is still very strong will have to use great violence to reduce it, the charms of the world will constantly be placed before him, for God's adversary will tempt him wherever he can, and it will be difficult to resist all those temptations, he will have to use violence .... but he will succeed as soon as his will strives to fulfil his earthly task: to change his nature. He will be supplied with strength because he wants to reach his aim .... And in order for him to strive towards this aim he will repeatedly be reminded of the commandments of love for God and his neighbour, and if he is of good will he will first only fulfil his duty, he will strive to fulfil God's commandments .... until he is then driven from within to work of love and the fight against selfish love becomes ever less, for he will become victorious over himself if he is of good will. Yet most people are dominated by selfish love, they only think of themselves, love has grown cold in them and therefore they cannot become overcomers, they will only ever seek earthly advantages and not think of their life after death .... And their fate will be a bitter one, for they will enter the kingdom of the beyond poor and miserable, where it will also be difficult for them to ascend, because even then they will not want to give up their selfish love, because even then they will only think of their own fate and the fate of other souls will not affect them. It is particularly difficult for these souls to relinquish their selfish love, and they will have to remain in adversity and torment for a long time before they change and turn their gaze to the souls in the same predicament. For this reason anyone who still gives up his selfish love before he has to surrender his earthly life is to be called blessed on earth .... For once the soul has become acquainted with true love it will also be able to detach itself more easily from what it would otherwise not want to give away for its own sake. And then the danger will no longer be so great when it enters the kingdom of the beyond; then it will also be able to feel love for its neighbour and ascend more easily, one day it will also attain beatitude, because the more it practices love itself the more its love will increase. And it will have much opportunity to do so, for God helps every soul so that it can detach itself from darkness and reach the light ...._>Amen

Spirit working ....

B.D. 7558 from March 25th 1960, taken from Book No. 80

I want to be able to work in you through My spirit .... I want your spiritual spark, which is My share, to seek contact with Me and that this spiritual spark now gains influence over you, that it determines your thinking, speaking and acting, that I Myself can therefore work in you because this spiritual spark is inseparably connected to Me. Hence you have God Himself in you .... and I will always be able to express Myself from within if you allow Me to do so yourselves through your will to be united with Me and your actions in accordance with this will. For if you seek the bond with Me then you will also irrevocably live according to My will .... you will live in love and thereby awaken the spiritual spark in you to life .... i.e. draw Me Myself to you through loving activity, Who is the eternal love. Thus the voice of My spirit in you, which you desire to hear, is only a sign of My presence in you, and I will always be able to be present to you if you live in love. And thus every working of the spirit always presupposes the human being's love, otherwise he would not be united with Me and then would also not be able to hear My voice within himself .... thus My spirit cannot work in a person who is devoid of all love. The spirit in you, which is My share, stamps you into a divine creature as soon as you only allow it to work. Then you will enter into contact with Me and I will now address you through the voice of the spirit, I will order your thinking and guide it correctly, and I will determine your will and action .... but only ever after your consent, after you yourselves allow the working of the spirit in you through loving activity. And My spirit will guide you into truth .... I have given you this promise, for at the beginning of your embodiment as a human being you are without knowledge, your spiritual state is dark, you know nothing about Me and My plan of salvation from eternity .... But if I want to impart this knowledge to you I have to do it through My spirit .... The spirit can only speak to the spirit, or also: You can only be taught by Me Myself, and therefore My spirit must be able to take effect in you. But then He will impart knowledge to you which encompasses everything .... Then you will be introduced to truth, because the spirit from Me can only impart pure truth to you. And you should all try to achieve that My spirit can become effective in you, because only then can you be guided into realization, because only then will it become light and bright in you and you need no longer complain about spiritual darkness. Since you therefore carry a spark of My spirit of God within you, all truth is also within you, for the spirit from Me knows everything, it is a ray of light of love which can fill your heart and chase all darkness out of it. The spirit from Me will teach you, it will kindle a light in you, it will reveal truthful knowledge to you, for it is in constant contact with Me, its father-spirit from eternity. He is My share and therefore also knows everything you desire to know .... "He guides you into the truth ...." And you are awakened to life when you allow the spiritual spark in you to work, when you have prepared yourselves in such a way that I Myself can empty Myself in you .... And I will truly give you everything you desire .... Yet I cannot enter into contact with a person who does not consciously strive for it, who resists Me and lives without love, for I cannot approach him, Who I am love .... And this person will also remain without realization, no matter how sharp his intellect and how long he lives on earth .... He will remain dark in spirit, for the spirit from Me cannot enlighten him because it makes his activity impossible for him. My share, the spiritual spark, certainly also slumbers in him but it is buried and will not be awakened to life, and the human being has rejected a gift of grace from Me which truly could have created beatitudes for him if only he had used it during his earthly life. The bond between the spiritual spark and the eternal father-spirit has to be established by every person himself, but then he will be able to achieve the highest spiritual success, he will increase in light and strength, he will allow Me Myself to work in him through My spirit, and where I Myself can be there will be no more darkness for ever ...._>Amen

Serious desire for truth ....

B.D. 7559 from March 26th 1960, taken from Book No. 80

The pure truth has to be desired in order to be received .... and desiring the truth means being willing to relinquish the existing knowledge, to completely empty oneself and now ask Me to impart the pure truth to the human being, which only I Myself can bestow upon him. For I Myself am the truth .... I am the way and the life .... I Myself alone can distribute the truth and thereby show you the path which leads to eternal life. But for the most part people are unable to detach themselves from the spiritual knowledge they possess .... Yet they should always bear in mind that there are many schools of thought, that different people's spiritual knowledge also differs but that there is only one truth, that not everyone can claim to stand in the truth as long as their thinking still deviates from each other. And therefore they should make every effort to come into possession of the truth, they should not be satisfied with knowledge which was transmitted to them according to tradition, they should first try to fathom the origin of their knowledge and always approach Me Myself for enlightenment of their thinking so that they will find the pure truth .... They must desire the truth .... And they will be able to be convinced that they will also find it, for I Myself take care of those who desire the truth with all their heart .... For I am the eternal truth and I want My living creations to walk in truth, that they think correctly, that they form a truthful picture of Me Myself and My reign and activity .... I don't want them to be ensnared by the error which is presented to people by My adversary so that it is impossible for them to recognize Me Myself correctly and then also to learn to love Me .... and because My living creations' love for Me is the aim which people should achieve, I want them to recognize Me correctly, and therefore I will repeatedly convey the pure truth to people who desire it, I will no longer leave them in error and enlighten their thinking so that they will learn to distinguish truth from error and turn away from the latter. Truth will always make people happy, for truth will spread light in the heart .... Error, however, darkens the path people take, and this never leads upwards, to Me, because it is My adversary's path into which he tries to push people who do not resist him. And every person should seriously ask himself how far he is satisfied with the knowledge he possesses .... he should seriously ask himself whether he desires the pure truth and what he has already done in order to attain this truth .... He need do nothing more than seriously ask Me to instruct him in the truth if his thinking is wrong .... But this will has to arise from the heart, he has to be deeply, holyly serious about moving in truth .... And most people lack this seriousness. They are content with the knowledge they have taken on and hold on to it, they don't think about it, otherwise they would discover contradictions themselves and would have to pay attention. But the will of man cannot be forced .... This is why error is far more widespread in the world than truth, and this is why I again and again try to address people from above in order to convey the pure truth to them, which should encourage them to compare and take a stand on it themselves. And blessed is he who accepts the truth .... Blessed is he who seeks to free himself from previous knowledge if it does not agree with the knowledge conveyed from above .... One day the soul will be able to record as spiritual wealth the knowledge it accepted on earth and will also take with it into the kingdom of the beyond .... It will be able to register a considerable plus compared to the souls which could not free themselves from their wrong teachings on earth, for in the spiritual kingdom the soul will only be able to work with such goods which correspond to the truth. All other knowledge will be of no use to it, no matter how much knowledge it possessed on earth. If it was not the pure truth it will lose it like all earthly possessions and dwell poorly and ignorantly in the kingdom of the beyond, where it will not be allowed to engage in a blissful activity until it has also accepted the pure truth .... which will certainly be offered to it in the spiritual kingdom but which, just as on earth, requires its free will to accept. And this is why it is so necessary for the human being that his thinking still becomes clear on earth, that he learns to distinguish error from truth on earth, for only truth is the path which leads to eternal life, only through truth can the human being become blissfully happy and no longer lose eternal life ...._>Amen

To the worldlings ....

B.D. 7560 from March 27th 1960, taken from Book No. 80

You must not give in to any deceptive hopes that you believe you still have much time left for your spiritual perfection. You should not hesitate one day longer to tackle your soul's work if you are not already walking on the right path and striving spiritually. You should only ever try to imagine that you would suddenly be called away and then ask yourselves whether you would be able to stand before My eyes. And you should only ask yourselves how you stand by Jesus Christ .... All of you who have not yet found Him are in great danger that your soul will get lost, that it will enter the kingdom of the beyond in adversity and darkness because it has not yet found redemption. All of you who are not yet confessors of Jesus Christ are especially addressed by Me that you only have little time left and should use this time by seeking contact with Jesus Christ, the divine redeemer, so that you will also find contact with Me, Who accomplished the act of salvation in Him. You are still in the midst of the world, and the world rarely only allows spiritual thoughts to arise in you. But I appeal to you to seriously think about it, to imagine a near end and to think about your soul which is in great distress. You worldly people have little faith and yet you should think about the fact that you will not perish even if your body dies .... And then you should try to imagine your fate, which cannot be any different than your way of life has been. And if you don't believe in the soul's survival, then just once seriously wish that you may think correctly, that a small light will be given to you .... Ask Me for it if you still believe in a God and creator from eternity .... And truly, I will give you a light, for I don't want you to get lost, but you must take the first step towards Me, Whom you will not be able to deny in your innermost being .... Don't let the short time you still have pass by unused, ask yourselves whether you are walking correctly and make an effort to fulfil the will of the one Who gave you life .... Seek union with Me in Jesus Christ, and you have done everything to save your soul .... And therefore seek to gain knowledge of Jesus Christ, the divine redeemer, do not keep your ears closed when such is conveyed to you .... Believe when a near end is proclaimed to you .... listen to the proclaimers and ponder their words, for I Myself speak to you through them because I want to bring you salvation before the end .... And also consider the transience of the world and all earthly goods .... And I want to bless every good thought, I want to strengthen your will and help you find the right path and detach yourselves from everything that still holds you captive .... I will help you if only you remember your soul and want to protect it from the fate it is heading for if you do not change .... Believe that there is not much time left for you and use this time diligently for your salvation ...._>Amen

Vineyard work suggestion ....

B.D. 7561 from March 28th 1960, taken from Book No. 80

You shall proclaim My word, and you shall inform every person of My unusual activity towards you, whom I lead into the path. For it is necessary that people learn of My love and grace which I bestow upon My living creations; they should know who they should turn to when they are approached by the great adversity which I constantly announce to you. And again and again you should tell them that My kingdom is not of this world, that it concerns the spiritual kingdom which you humans should strive for; you should tell them to remember their actual earthly task which consists of seeking My kingdom which is not of this world. It will always be your task to direct your fellow human beings' thoughts towards this kingdom if you want to be of service to Me, for people only ever move in this world and only pay attention to what serves their body's well-being; their striving is purely earthly and spiritual thoughts are far away from them .... But again and again you should point them to that kingdom which is not of this world. And therefore you should also inform them that the father's voice sounds from that kingdom, Who wants to address all people and uses you to pass on His message. People shall know that their God and creator speaks to them from above. They will not want to believe it and yet this unusual event shall be mentioned wherever the opportunity presents itself. And again and again human hearts will open which only need a push to take the path which leads into the spiritual kingdom. Spread My word and I will ensure that it will be accepted and spread again .... For My ways are wonderful, you don't know them, but I know where hungry souls wait for the nourishment which is My pure word for them .... I know where souls are waiting to be addressed by Me, and I arrange it so that the word you spread in My name will also reach them. You should just not be inactive, even though it seems to you as if all opportunities have been exhausted which enable you to spread My word. My word is blessed with My strength, My word is strength in itself, and where it can only touch a person's heart the soul will also come to life, it will feel the strength and receive wholesome nourishment for itself from My word. I still want to address many people through My word, and I will let your thoughts take the path which leads to such human hearts which you can provide with spiritual nourishment, with the bread of life which the soul can feast on. But don't become indifferent, for people are in need who have not yet found My kingdom, which is not of this world. Only My word shall sound to them from this kingdom and touch their hearts, then they will also approach the kingdom themselves .... And you should help them to hear this word, you should be My proclaimers who take their ministry seriously and again and again convey My word from above to them. You should see your task in the spreading of this word alone, and this requires constant vineyard work, which I admonish you to do again and again because it is very important. But you will also never be left without help, I Myself assign the work to you, you will be guided by Me, your thoughts and your will will be directed by Me so that you will always be successfully active for Me and My kingdom, which is not of this world. And if you are willing to work for Me you will also be able to carry out this work and never need to fear being unfit for it .... Just make your will your own and I will guide you to where your work is needed .... I Myself will assign the work to you and it will always be successful, because I bless every activity a helpful person wants to accomplish for Me and My kingdom, so that many more souls will find salvation, so that they, too, will strive for the kingdom which is not of this world ...._>Amen

Total spiritual change ....

B.D. 7562 from March 29th 1960, taken from Book No. 80

A spiritual change for the better will no longer take place on this earth, and people who indulge in this hope are in erroneous thinking, and they will therefore be surprised when the course of world events will convince them that a spiritual change is by no means recognizable, that people always sink deeper into darkness the further time advances. People themselves are no longer changing to the extent that I could refrain from dissolving the creations .... They increasingly fall prey to My adversary, they fulfil his will and therefore become ever more ripe for the downfall which signifies the end of this earth for humanity. There are only ever a few who recognize the seriousness of the time, who make an effort to live the way of life according to My will, who believe in Me and therefore will find grace before My eyes .... And these also believe in an end because they can follow people's spiritual low and recognize that the earth is ripe for destruction. But these few cannot cause Me to refrain from the final work of destruction, for I must also remember the still bound spiritual substances which shall continue their course of development in new creations .... I must also remember those people who fail so that they can be reintegrated into the process of ascent development, so that they are taken from My adversary's power .... These people would irrevocably fall further and further into the abyss if I allowed the earth to continue and did not put an end to My adversary's activity. This earth period has to come to an end and a new one has to begin again, otherwise divine order would never be established, but this is My eternal plan of salvation. Once every redemption period comes to an end, and this period has now also reached the time when order has to be established again so that the development of the spiritual will continue. This is incomprehensible to every person who does not strive spiritually, but everyone whose spirit is awakened and who looks around with open eyes must understand it. Unbelief and unkindness are rampant, people no longer expect to live on after death, they don't believe in Jesus Christ and His act of salvation, they only live a worldly life and don't think about the purpose and aim of their existence .... And only rarely can a person still be won over for Me and My kingdom .... And thus a spiritual low has set in which can no longer be remedied other than through a complete reorganisation, a 'straightening' and transposition of the spiritual into the form corresponding to its state of maturity .... And this is what the work of transformation on the old earth is supposed to achieve, that all forms are dissolved and the spiritual bound in them is incorporated into other forms, so that the upward development can continue. And this requires a total change, spiritually and earthly .... it requires the end of the old and the emergence of a new earth .... it necessitates the establishment of the order of eternity, which will always be carried out again from My side when the time has expired, when a redemption period has come to an end according to the destiny of eternity ...._>Amen

Neighbourly love ....

B.D. 7563 from March 31th 1960, taken from Book No. 80

You will always benefit when you look after a neighbour in need .... because you will always be fulfilling My will which is expressed in My commandments of love for God and your neighbour. But you should practise love for your neighbour of your own free will, you should feel prompted from within, only then will you kindle the spark of love in you, and only then will your soul mature. Your every thought, word and action has to be based on love if it is to have a spiritual effect, or you will only ever accomplish earthly duties without the slightest gain for your soul ....

It is always just a matter of love .... of the inner urge to do good, to help where it is needed, to please and bring joy to where the opportunity presents itself .... it is a matter of the person's inner nature which should become completely absorbed in its love for Me and the next person, which overcomes all selfish love and is completely imbued by love, so that I Myself can be present in him and thus work in him through My spirit. Then the human being cannot be anything but good and will always live in unity with Me, then the earthly world can no longer tempt him but in thought he will always be in the spiritual world since the spirit in him determines his every thought and intention.

But as long as a person's thoughts are held captive by the world it will not be possible for him to develop love in himself, for then the world will still appeal to his selfish love and this will be satisfied first, which will always be at the expense of the next person. In that case he has to be noticeably confronted by his fellow human being's suffering; he has to see a lot of misery in order to motivate himself to help and to enable the spark of love within him to ignite so that he feels the benefit of a good deed. Hence much tribulation has yet to be experienced on earth, because love has grown cold amongst people, because My messengers of love are hardly ever appreciated and thus the spiritual hardship, which can only be remedied by love, is also extensive.

People's lack of love is spiritual hardship which always entails earthly hardship too, therefore the latter will continue to increase in the last days in order to still touch human hearts and awaken in them merciful neighbourly love. However, only a few people will escape this spiritual adversity, for selfishness is gaining the upper hand and that also means that worldly love will become ever more widespread, that people will become enslaved by matter and in their pursuit of it also prepare their later fate, that they will again become matter which they had already surmounted in the past.

And there is only one way out from this banishment, and this way out is and remains love .... Not even My love can release you from the commandment to practise love, for love is the first law, and without love no one can become blessed ....

Amen

Presentation of the lord's supper ....

B.D. 7564 from March 31th 1960, taken from Book No. 80

All of you who hear My word and take it into your hearts, who are now also active according to it, are moving in My grace. Then you will evaluate a gift of grace of immeasurable strength, you will be filled by My spirit which will now pour into you through My word. And it will be easy for you to believe because My word from above is proof of My love for you and My love is now also a guarantee for you that you receive the truth from Me. You receive great grace through My word and your soul derives great spiritual benefit from it, because you use everything imparted to you through My word to mature spiritually. If you now accept My word directly from Me, even if it is conveyed to you through My messengers, then you draw from the source .... You drink the water of life at the spring which I Myself have opened up for you. You let yourselves be fed and watered by Me Myself, you come to My table and take supper with Me .... you get the nourishment which your soul needs in order to mature on this earth .... And it is I Myself Who offers you the nourishment, because I know what you need for your soul's salvation .... I know that your soul is weak and needs to be strengthened, I know that it is sick and in need of healing medicine, and I know that only the nourishment I Myself give you will let it become healthy and strong. And therefore I invite you again and again to come to My table and take supper with Me .... But you must come to Me yourselves .... you must take the path to the spring from which the living water flows; you must bow down and drink if your soul is to be nourished and refreshed for its further earthly progress. You must accept My word and not be satisfied that you are offered inferior nourishment elsewhere which is not beneficial for your soul .... You must ask Me for food and drink for your soul .... For only one can offer you the manna from the heavens, only one can convey His word to you from above .... and this one is the word Itself from eternity .... And when the word Itself bends down to address you, then open your ears and heart and listen to what I have to say to you .... When I Myself invite you to come to My table in order to let yourselves be satisfied by Me, then accept this invitation and be My guests who gratefully receive what the host offers them. And if you entrust yourselves to Me and let Me take care of you Myself, I will truly provide you with everything your soul and body need during your earthly existence. Yet My concern for your soul is paramount so that you will not come to harm and lose eternal life. And therefore I will always make My will known to you through My word so that you will comply with it and prepare your soul for life in the spiritual kingdom .... I will take care of your soul so that it does not need to live in want, but I will also give the body what it needs as long as the soul resides in it .... You shall be satisfied spiritually and earthly, you shall know that you can turn to Me at any time in spiritual and earthly adversity, that you will never ask in vain .... But you should come to Me yourselves, you should seek out the source which is opened up to you by My love .... You should let yourselves be addressed by Me and gratefully accept all My gifts of love from My hand .... And then you shall evaluate the blessings which I abundantly bestow upon you, so that you may mature in your soul, so that you may acquire the kingdom of heaven and be blessed ...._>Amen

God's plan of salvation and end ....

B.D. 7565 from April 2nd 1960, taken from Book No. 80

My eternal plan will be carried out, for My love and wisdom were decisive for this plan and My might brings about everything I want. Therefore neither people's will nor My adversary's actions can prevent Me from doing so, and it would be easy for Me to initiate you humans to such an extent that you would also know the day and hour when I would carry out the plan. But My love and wisdom prevents this again, because it would not benefit My living creations if they would then fulfil their earthly task under a certain compulsion of will, which would mean knowing the day and hour of the end of this earth. But My love also wants to warn and admonish you humans again, My love only wants you to prepare yourselves and not to fear the end .... And therefore I repeatedly announce to you through seers and prophets that the end is imminent .... as it has happened since the beginning of this earth period and will happen until the end occurs. I will not leave you humans without knowledge about it, yet this knowledge will never be proven to you due to your freedom of will. You only ever have to believe it and live your life in accordance with this belief .... And then My plan of salvation will unfold such that you will not suffer any harm. But it will be carried out according to My will, for I truly know what serves you, My living creations, best, irrespective of whether you already live on this earth as a human being or still live in the bound state of the works of creation .... I know when the time has come for you to change your state, when all spiritual substances have to leave the form which keeps them bound, I know when lawful order has to be established again and what is helpful for the spiritual substances' ascent development .... And because My love and wisdom are decisive I will also pause the time I have set for Myself from eternity for My work of salvation .... And thus, when I announce the time to you humans as 'imminent', when I admonish you again and again to think of your end, this is also determined by My love, which truly wants to prepare a blissful fate for you and again and again shows you the path you should take in order to become blessed .... this is why I repeatedly speak to you humans from above, for you cannot receive information about what is to come in any other way, because no-one but Me can know this and because I want you to take notice of it, even if you only have to believe it. But you are blessed if you believe My word from above, for no-one but Me can instruct you in accordance with the truth, no-one can impart this knowledge to you if I Myself do not convey it to you through My spirit. Therefore it also requires firm faith to accept My word as truth, faith which was gained through love. And because there is so little love amongst humanity, the belief in an end is also rarely to be found, and people irresponsibly go their earthly way and don't use the time they still have until the end, which is truly only short. And if you knew the day and hour you would be frightened .... But this knowledge remains hidden from you, for it would be of no use to you for your perfection. But it will come, suddenly and unexpectedly .... And therefore My concern is always for you, and I address you again and again. The near end is the reason for My address, because I still want to win souls which listen to Me and believe My word, for these will prepare themselves, they will make an effort to live according to My will, and their good will will always receive strengthening from My side. Again and again they will desire to hear Me and truly draw strength from My word because I have blessed My word with My strength ...._>Amen

God-turned-will secures perfection ....

B.D. 7566 from April 3rd 1960, taken from Book No. 80

And I will put My will into your heart if you strive to fulfil My will. Then you need only let your inner urge and will determine you and it will be right how you think, speak and act. My love is with everyone who strives to come close to Me, and guide him on the right path .... My care applies to him at every hour, and thus every day can be lived safely, it will always contribute towards the soul's perfection, and earthly life will not have been lived in vain, for the will which applies to Me is a guarantee that I will take care of the human being and lead him to perfection. You should all know that you need not do without My care, you should know that nobody can get lost who believes in Me in earthly life and wants Me to accept him, that he is united with Me. Every thought that applies to Me is proof of his faith in Me and a desire of his soul for its creator and father from eternity. Every thought which departs from the earthly world, which is directed into My kingdom, also proves the soul's will which strives towards its original state again because it is aware of its origin and wants to return to it again. And I know every thought and truly promote this will like a loving father .... I let the soul feel My love in order to increase its desire for Me and thereby also strengthen My strength of love. I take care of every person who has once turned his will towards Me, who has recognized Me as a loving God and father from eternity .... who believes in Me .... For this person will also feel love for Me, even if this initially takes a back seat to the deepest humility, because the human being recognizes his own inadequacy and unworthiness .... And humility is the human being's dearest confession to Me, for it is the opposite of the original sin, of the arrogance which once caused the being to fall. The human being recognizes Me as the highest and most perfect being, Whom he does not feel worthy to love, and therefore all My love belongs to him .... Therefore only ever direct your thoughts into the spiritual kingdom, let them take the path to Me and I will know that your will is meant for Me .... And then I will be able to take hold of you, and I will truly no longer leave you out. It only concerns your will in this earthly existence, for at the beginning of your embodiment as a human being this will is still in bondage to the one who caused your fall into the abyss. And you shall change your will, away from him and towards Me .... Therefore you can also believe that I have already seized you if you want Me to look after you, that you will find grace with Me if you consciously turn your will towards Me, if you want to be and remain My own .... Then your fate will truly be sealed, I will no longer let you fall back, I will draw you to Myself and will not rest until you have found your way home to your father's house, until you have found union with Me, your God and father of eternity, Whose love applies to you and will apply to you because you are His children, whom He has now won for eternity ...._>Amen

Return path of the spiritual to God ....

B.D. 7567 from April 4th 1960, taken from Book No. 80

All fallen spirits have started the return path to Me, which is bound in the works of creation on this earth. As soon as it is embodied in hard matter this return path begins, which takes an infinitely long time before it is completed. But the bound spiritual is withdrawn from My adversary's influence, he no longer has any power over this spiritual, he can no longer press it or determine its activity according to his will, which would be contrary to Me, but this bound spiritual moves in the law of compulsion, it carries out its purpose according to My will and thereby, after an infinitely long time, reaches a state which allows the embodiment as a human being, so that it shall then pass the last short test of earthly life in order to finally become free from the form. Everything you humans see around you in creation is therefore spiritual striving towards Me, it has ascended from the deepest depth, and even the spiritual still bound in hard matter is at the beginning of its development .... it is spiritual substance wrested from My adversary which will one day also reach Me in the father's house, thus it will no longer languish hopelessly in the deepest abyss. For there are still many once-fallen spirits which have not yet taken this path of return, for the beings which emerged from My strength and Lucifer's will were innumerable, and eternities will pass until all fallen beings are completely redeemed, until all once-fallen beings will be spiritualized and able to work again in light and strength at My side in unlimited bliss. However, the stage as a human being is decisive for the duration of the return, for in this stage My adversary has influence over the spiritual again, which I cannot deny him either, because the spiritual once followed him in free will and he therefore asserts his right of ownership .... and during earthly life this right will therefore not be disputed. During this time he fights just as I do for the spiritual substance in order to win it back again, which has already moved considerably closer to Me through the path through creation, where it has already reduced its former resistance and now only has to make the final decision of will in earthly life as a human being .... where the human being can once again use free will, which he is now to direct correctly: To Me, from Whom he once turned away of his own accord. If you humans know about the infinitely long path of your preliminary development then it should not be difficult for you to make the right decision; but this course of development cannot be proven to you, and therefore you also lack the right faith in it, and you are in great danger of using your will wrongly again and surrendering to your adversary's influence .... which can mean a renewed fall into the abyss again if you don't profess Me after all before your physical death and escape his control. The path to the father's house is no longer long if you are allowed to start earthly life as a human being, and it will also be clearly shown to you, so that it truly should not be difficult for you to reach your aim .... But no coercion whatsoever may be applied to your will, neither from My adversary's nor from My side, and therefore your success is doubtful, and it requires your own will that you want to take the right path, and this will will truly receive support. But you should always remember your long time of pre-development, you should try to believe the knowledge you receive about it, and you should now lead your way of life accordingly .... For then you will bring an infinitely long time of development to a conclusion, you will return as children of your father, you will be able to create and work next to Me again in former perfection as you possessed it as original spirit, you will belong to those who have completely detached themselves from their former lord and now remain with Me for eternity .... you will have returned to the father as His children whom He will now also eternally no longer lose, for they have become perfect as the father in heaven is perfect ...._>Amen

The knowledge of redemptive work does not pass away ....

B.D. 7568 from April 5th 1960, taken from Book No. 80

My work of redemption applied to all times, to the past, the present and the future .... All people will one day come into the blessing of My act of salvation, no matter in which epoch they walk across the earth as a human being .... And the knowledge will always be carried from one redemption period into the next, for My spirit will always instruct people about it and proclaim to them the earthly life of the man Jesus, in Whom I embodied Myself in order to redeem humanity's guilt of sin. The fact that you now live in this period on earth in which I Myself descended to earth is a very special grace, for it should be easier for you humans to believe in Me, you should be able to believe the existence of the man Jesus with conviction, for the knowledge about Him has nevertheless been preserved from generation to generation, even if it is difficult to provide evidence for it in the last days .... Soon after Jesus' death on the cross people in this redemption period were able to enter the kingdom of light as completely redeemed, which was not possible before the death on the cross .... They only needed to believe in Him with conviction, and this faith could also be easily won through love .... Yet in the later earth periods it will be more difficult for people to believe in Jesus Christ and His act of salvation .... And yet, it will also be possible again to open up living knowledge about the divine redeemer for them, because again and again My spirit will work in people filled with love, because again and again at the beginning of a redemption epoch people will be filled with love and then they will receive truly living knowledge and also pass it on to their descendants. Yet the closer it gets to the end of such an era again, the weaker the faith will become, and My spirit's working will also be able to take place less and less frequently .... But the knowledge of Jesus Christ, in Whom I Myself accomplished the act of salvation on the cross, will never pass away again .... For again and again people will be 'redeemed' and they will ensure that the teachings are passed on because they receive them directly from Me and are also convinced and because this is the sign of redemption through Jesus Christ when He Himself can now express Himself in the human being through the spirit .... The knowledge of the divine redeemer will never ever be lost, and therefore the work of return will always and at all times continue, which is only ever possible when people have found redemption through Jesus Christ, when they acknowledge Me Myself in Jesus Christ and have thus also found their way back to Me, from Whom they had been separated for eternal times. For this reason the working of the spirit must also be proclaimed to people in the last days before the end, for faith in Jesus Christ and His act of salvation is also lacking during this time and it must be possible to convey truthful knowledge to people, which is only possible through the working of the spirit. And again, the working of the spirit is proof that Jesus Christ brought salvation to the human being .... that I Myself took care of people who, due to their guilt of sin, could not have taken the path back to the father .... For the working of My spirit only became possible after My crucifixion, and a person has to allow himself to be redeemed first, i.e. he has to be willing to accept the blessings of My act of salvation. Only then will it be possible for My spirit to express itself in him, and only then can he be introduced to truthful knowledge about the mission of the man Jesus, about His act of love and mercy which He accomplished for sinful humanity because He sheltered Me in Himself .... because He was only the shell of Me .... And this spirit will work as long as there is still a human being on earth who waits for redemption .... And again and again it will proclaim and initiate people into My plan of salvation, again and again it will mention the divine redeemer Jesus Christ, for I died on the cross for all people, for people of the past, the present and the future .... because I want to redeem all people from their guilt of sin ...._>Amen

Self-awareness of the original spirit ....

B.D. 7569 from April 5th 1960, taken from Book No. 80

Every original spirit regains its self-awareness when it lives as a human being on earth and recognises itself as a human being. Then all the small particles of soul, which were once dissolved for the purpose of return through creation, are gathered in the spirit again, and then the being will be able to acquire the degree of maturity which it originally possessed as a created spirit, which it had renounced and now has to regain in order to enter the spiritual kingdom as a spirit of light. And thus every human being is an embodied original spirit, a once fallen being, My eternal love's product of creation, which had merely left Me of its own free will and therefore also has to return to Me again of its own choice.

But the human being does not know what he was, what he is and what he should become again .... He first needs a certain level of maturity before he can receive and understand this knowledge .... He certainly recognises himself as a human being soon enough but not as a spiritual being that is to fulfil its purpose, and since he only recognises himself as a human being living on earth, his thoughts are more directed towards the world. And this usually prevents spiritual awareness which he will only experience when he turns away from the world towards the spiritual kingdom. Then it is possible to inform him of his real purpose, and then he will be able to accept and adjust to it voluntarily, which will certainly result in his full spiritual maturity. However, once he has accepted it he will also be happy at the thought and the certainty of belonging to the original spirits which I externalised as living creations and which return to Me as children, and as human beings are therefore approaching their perfection.

And only the human will needs to be good, because then it will focus on Me of its own accord. The human being asks for his God and Creator and this resolve is already the right decision, it will have passed the test of will which confronts the original spirit as human being on earth. Life on this earth does not last long but it can fully suffice for a person to spiritualise himself so completely that he acquires the degree which results in the childship to God, i.e. which returns the original spirit into a state of perfection again. On account of his resolve he will have achieved the highest degree himself and can then stay in closest proximity to Me where the direct emanation of My love is assured to him .... even though every original spirit will be able to ascend ever higher once he is allowed to enter the kingdom of light, provided the right decision of will was made on earth. And every original spirit is ecstatically happy when he becomes aware of the infinitely long path he had travelled in order to achieve the greatest abundance of light, in order to be immensely blissful .... And he will sing My praises and give thanks and glorify Me eternally, he will be and remain My child which will never leave Me again, which will create and shape in accordance with My will for its own happiness ....

Amen

Shackles of the soul .... freedom ....

B.D. 7570 from April 6th 1960, taken from Book No. 80

You will remain in your deformation until your soul has proven itself, for even if the soul enters the kingdom of the beyond immaturely it will not feel free but still feel burdened by an earthly heaviness, even though it has discarded the earthly body. It still feels bound and is powerless to free itself from its bondage until it calls upon Jesus Christ and finds redemption. But if it can already cast off its bondage on earth, that it has found forgiveness through Jesus Christ, then it will freely emerge from its body at the death of its body and also enter the kingdom of light completely free. So it is not only the body that is a bondage for the soul, but its whole state determines whether it enters the kingdom of the beyond free or bound. And there are souls which are not aware of their bodily death, which still feel the same way about themselves and move in community with like-minded souls and also believe them to still be alive on earth. But this state is a state of agony for the souls, for they feel their powerlessness, they lack vitality and are therefore unhappy not to be able to do what they want and through which they believe they can improve their situation. If, however, they would compassionately think of other souls in this unhappy state and try to help them, their condition would soon noticeably improve .... But they lack love otherwise they would not be in this powerless state and would also already possess some realization. And therefore death is not the liberation from form for all souls, and it can also happen that the soul completely sinks back into the abyss and is banished again into hard matter, thus it has to go through the earthly deformations again in order to be able to live on earth as a human being once more. But people should strive to completely liberate themselves from the form through a correct way of life, so that death need not frighten them, so that the soul leaves the body in all freedom and this change only brings it a state of happiness. But this always requires redemption through Jesus Christ, the human being must always have found forgiveness of sin, that his guilt is redeemed when he enters the spiritual kingdom. For the guilt of sin is a burden which the soul feels heavily. And it will not have the feeling of freedom until it has cried out to Jesus Christ for forgiveness of its guilt. Only then is it 'redeemed', free from every bondage and can now enjoy this freedom in the kingdom of light. Only then are they able to look with spiritual eyes and also recognize the other souls, whereas before in the darkness or twilight they can rarely only perceive the other souls correctly, even if they are among like-minded souls. They don't recognize each other but they know it when they are together with them and also exchange information, but everything happens in a state of complete confusion, they cannot think clearly, and only occasionally do light moments come to them when spiritual beings of light want to help them. And if they make use of this help offered to them then their situation can also improve and they can find the path to Jesus Christ .... Yet their will is not forcibly influenced, which is why long periods of time can pass until such a soul finds redemption. And you humans on earth should try to imagine their fate, you should strive to escape such a fate yourselves by consciously fulfilling your earthly task, and you should also send helpful thoughts of love to those souls so that they can draw strength from it and change their will if you think of them intercessively. For the soul can only be happy when it is free from every form, and it can achieve this in earthly life if it lives according to God's will, if it acknowledges Jesus Christ as the son of God and redeemer of the world and appeals to Him for forgiveness of its guilt .... Then even bodily death will only be a redemption from every form for it ...._>Amen

Development of the soul .... Original spirit ....

B.D. 7571 from April 7th 1960, taken from Book No. 80

Spiritual substance matures during every developmental period, and one period can in fact suffice for the spiritual substance to progress through the creations to the point that it is able to embody itself as a human being and successfully pass its last test of will .... But several such periods may be needed for this spiritualization of hardened soul-substances if resistance is so strong that its higher development is too slow and the existence as a human being carries an added risk of the soul descending into the abyss again. For free will, which is tested during the stage as a human being, is decisive.

But prior to this, free will is constrained .... Although the hardened spiritual substance is no longer subject to God's adversary's will due to this process of development through the creations of earth .... the individual substances are nevertheless unable to use free will, instead they are controlled by God's will, that is, their process of development takes place in a state of compulsion, they are subject to God's will, Who assigns a task to all spiritual substances within the works of creation. By accomplishing this task within the law of compulsion they gradually progress, i.e. their resistance lessens; they carry out a helpful function and are able to slowly reach the state when their free will can be returned to them. And this process of development requires constant changes of the external shape .... it is a slow ascent, it is an integration with the laws of nature and therefore a submission to God's will, if only due to a certain amount of coercion which, however, only helps to relieve the being and one day is meant to provide it with the freedom to think, want and act using its own will again.

And this process through the works of creation cannot be avoided if the spiritual being is to return to God again, from Whom it had distanced itself to such an infinite extent as a result of its apostasy that it would never be able to overcome this distance of its own strength, and would never be released by God's adversary to return either if God did not remove the spiritual substance from him for the very purpose of banishing it into matter, into the creations on this earth. God's adversary is entitled to the fallen spirits because they had voluntarily followed him into the abyss .... But God has the same right because the beings emerged from His strength. Hence God is justified in removing them from the adversary's control, but in return the latter was given the right to influence the soul again when it lives on earth in the stage as a human being. And to this end the spiritual substance must have attained a degree of maturity again when it is able to use its will in order to freely decide which lord to choose.

But God cannot place the spiritual substance into this state instantly, it has to cover the process of ascent in the same progressive stages as it had descended, it has to relinquish its resistance slowly, as it cannot forcibly be broken. And this requires innumerable changes of form, through the world of rocks, plants and animals to the human being .... Every change of external shape also lessens its resistance, for the being has been of service in a state of compulsion by which it gains increasingly lighter forms .... But the sin of apostasy from God is so vast that the distance from Him is therefore vast as well, which means that untold changes of shapes are needed to reduce this distance in order to come closer to God again, when only the last free decision of will is required for the last form to fall off .... for the being to return to the Father again from Whom it had originated ....

And this whole process of development within the creations of earth is a continuous battle .... The spiritual substance tries to burst the external shape because it experiences it as a constraint, but each time it also experiences the rupture of the form as a relief irrespective of its level of maturity .... And this is why the struggle, which you humans are able to observe in the animal kingdom, only seems cruel in your eyes, whereas time and again every animal experiences the change of its external shape as a relief. For this reason God permits or even wants the weaker to succumb to the stronger, the stronger to terminate the life of the weaker and, in a manner of speaking, is thereby even able to serve the spiritual substance to continue its development. Therefore, as long as the being is subject to the law of compulsion everything is determined by God, its end as well as its new formation .... However, as soon as the being has reached the stage of a human being and has received its free will again, God withdraws His will .... And then the human being is given laws which he has to observe if his earthly life is to be successful .... On the one hand he is tied to the laws of nature, and on the other hand he is informed of God's will, to which he has to submit if his development is to progress and reach a conclusion, for the goal is to become free of every external shape and to enter the kingdom of light as a free spirit .... to return to the Father's house, to God, from whence the being once originated ....

Amen

Refuge to Jesus ....

B.D. 7572 from April 10th 1960, taken from Book No. 80

Carry all your worries to Jesus, Who has understanding for everything because He walked the earth as a human being .... And He will give you comfort, He will advise and help you, just as He as a human being helped His fellow human beings who came to Him in faithful trust and desired His help. For there is nothing that is impossible for Him, there is no worry that He cannot resolve .... There is no disaster which He cannot avert from you if only you trust in Him. For Jesus is God, He is your father from eternity, Who walked across earth in the shell of the man Jesus and to Whom all power belongs, Who works in love and wisdom on earth as well as in the spiritual kingdom .... And when you call upon Jesus you call upon God, the creator and sustainer from eternity, you call upon Him Whom you once did not want to acknowledge and through this heartfelt call return to Him from Whom you once voluntarily separated. Go to Jesus with all your worries and you are already on the way back to God .... He accomplished the work of redemption on this earth in order to redeem your great guilt of sin of the former apostasy from you. And He accomplished this work in the man Jesus, He chose His physical shell as His abode because a human being had to suffer and die on the cross so that humanity could take notice of this greatest work of mercy ever accomplished on earth. And in this human being Jesus God Himself walked the earth, for God, as the eternal love, filled Jesus fully and completely .... Love walked the dreadful path of suffering which ended with death on the cross. And with this death on the cross Jesus bought the right to bestow His acquired blessings upon people so that they became free from their lord, who held them captive in bondage until a saviour came to redeem the captives. He paid the debt to God's adversary with His blood and people could now become free from Him who acknowledge Jesus' act of salvation and want to partake of the grace. Then you will also acknowledge God Himself in the divine redeemer Jesus Christ, and this acknowledgement has to precede it, because then you will distance yourselves from the former sin of apostasy from God, because your will has now returned to God again and you will now accept His love and mercy again, which you once rejected and thereby fell into the abyss. You should not try to deal with any worries yourselves, you should always go to Jesus, you should carry all concerns to Him, because then you will unite with the father Who took abode in Jesus in order to atone for your guilt .... and Whom you thus acknowledge through your call, which is the purpose and aim of your earthly life: to accomplish the return to God from Whom you once voluntarily separated. Never walk your earthly path alone, always seek contact with Jesus, choose Him as your companion, as your guide, as your advisor and protector .... Stay in contact with Him in every earthly and spiritual adversity, and then you will truly be guided correctly, you will enjoy His protection, you will be relieved of your worries, for Jesus lived on earth as a human being and truly knows all the hardship a human being has to endure on earth. But He is also always ready to help because love fills Him, because He Himself is eternal love, because He and the father are one and His infinite love is always meant for you, His living creations. For you came forth from His love, and you shall also return to Him again .... And therefore He will pursue you with His love, He will do everything for you what you faithfully ask Him for in order to win you back again for eternity ...._>Amen

Bond with God ....

B.D. 7573 from April 11th 1960, taken from Book No. 80

And during hours of psychological adversity the bond with the spiritual kingdom should be sought, your thoughts should turn away from earthly matters and seek refuge in the spirit; the human being should always bear in mind that he does not live for this world and that all earthly worries will fade away if they are compared to the fate of the soul, which requires far greater care. And you are all in a state of psychological adversity when you are influenced by God's opponent, who makes every effort to disturb your inner calm, who intends to cause discord, who wants to stop you from making contact with God, who creates a restless existence for you by trying to deprive you of your inner peace, who keeps you tied to the world .... He wants to prevent you from establishing the bond with the spiritual kingdom, and precisely because of this you should sincerely entrust yourselves to all beings of light, you should appeal to the heavenly Father for His protection and then hand yourselves over to the guidance of all benevolent beings, which will certainly protect you from the adversary's influence. You are quite often subject to psychological adversity, for all conflicts in life are suited to disturb your inner composure, and then the soul will be put under pressure by the enemy ....

However, you can confront him by instantly placing yourselves at the side of your God and Father and appealing to Him for His protection against all threats by hostile forces. He has promised you this protection if you choose Him as your guide and companion on the path and trustingly hand yourselves over to Him. Only the bond with Him as well as with all virtuous forces of the spiritual kingdom protects you and provides you with the strength which can resolve your psychological problems. And as soon as you succeed in forming an ever stronger bond, your earthly life will become increasingly more peaceful, for then you will also turn to Him with even the slightest problem and He will always be willing to help. However, as soon as you loosen the bond, the psychological adversities will increase even more, for God's opponent avails himself of every weakness in order to apply his influence. But the beings of light merely wait for you to show the right attitude towards them, for you to appeal for help from God, then they will be allowed to help you and are always ready to protect you from the enemy. You just should not place your trust in yourselves and your strength alone .... You are incapable of dealing with the cunning and trickery the enemy of your souls is using, but in unison with the enlightened spiritual beings you are strong and able to offer him resistance. And you are surrounded by many beings of light, they merely wait for your call, because they may only intervene if your will deliberately turns to the spiritual kingdom from which you expect help. And this help is assured to you, for the heavenly Father does not leave His children in the adversity of soul, as soon as the child's thoughts merely turn to the Father and it confides its distress to Him. Then he will instruct all his messengers of light and love, and they will act according to His will ....

Amen

Time of the faith battle ....

B.D. 7574 from April 12th 1960, taken from Book No. 80

You are still allowed to carry out vineyard work unhindered but the time will come when you who want to serve Me will be persecuted, when they will try to prevent your work, when they will be hostile towards everything that is considered work for Me and My kingdom. And then you will have to assert yourselves insofar as that you courageously confess Me and My name before the world. Then you shall indeed be as gentle as the deaf and as clever as serpents, you shall be cautious but nevertheless proclaim My teaching and again and again make My will known to people, about which I instruct you humans through My word .... You should not fear people who cannot harm your soul, and you should exercise your office into which I have appointed you. And this includes the spreading of My word, which will be important and necessary until the last day, because people can still be saved from ruin. And therefore I also keep urgently admonishing you to do as much vineyard work as possible before this time comes .... You should already cultivate the fields beforehand and provide them abundantly with seed so that the seed has already sprouted and can now also bear its fruit. For the battle against faith is coming, the battle against everything spiritual, the battle against everyone who still believes in Me in Jesus Christ .... For they want to eradicate this faith. This is the last battle, the last work of My adversary who still believes that he will be able to overthrow Me before his time is up .... who will then exceed the limits of his authority when he will take action against Me Myself, when he will try to deprive people of the knowledge about their God and creator and thus also make your free decision impossible. Then the time will come when he will be banished again, when he will be put in chains and completely deprived of his power for a long time. And you, My faithful, you should know this when the battle against faith will begin, and you should not fear people who can indeed kill your body but not your soul .... And you should know that I will then fight by your side, that I will be your commander and that the battle will always be victorious for you. For the battle of faith will not last long because I shorten the days for the sake of My own so that they will not fall prey to the adversary. You, who want to serve Me, you will build a wall around yourselves through strong faith, which I will strengthen again and again anew, for I Myself will be with My own in spirit and sometimes also visibly when the adversity requires it. And you will be exceptionally strengthened so that you can persevere until the end. For I will not leave My own in adversity, I will obviously support them and make them capable of resistance so that they will loudly confess before the world to whom they belong and through their courage of confession also win souls from the enemy camp .... For I wrestle for every single soul so that it will still find Me before the end and be eternally saved. The time until the end is still short and yet much work can still be done in My vineyard before you humans enter the last phase which the battle of faith means for you .... Then you can expect My coming every day, you can hope that I will come soon and I will not disappoint you .... I will fetch you away from the old earth when the day of judgment has come ...._>Amen

God's love expressed in the work of redemption ....

B.D. 7575 from April 12th 1960, taken from Book No. 80

You are all touched by My love which has never left you and which will follow you even if you reject it .... which will apply to you for all eternity and therefore will not rest until you have become Mine again. And I gave you all the evidence of My great love and mercy when I suffered and died for you on the cross .... For this greatest work of love brought the lost back to Me, although it is up to My living creation's own will whether it wants to return to Me. But one day every being will have the desire to return to Me, one day I will also possess the love of My living creations, and the creature will be blissfully happy like Me that it has found the father, as I have found My child .... But the act of salvation was necessary for this, My love had to enter into supreme action, love had to suffer unspeakably because only through this could the great guilt be redeemed which separated you, My living creations, from Me, your creator and father. The great debt had to be paid, and My love did do that. It suffered for you, and it died on the cross for you. And you humans should take part in this work of mercy, and therefore a human being accomplished it on earth, in Whom I Myself took abode. And this human being was Jesus, My only begotten son, Whom I sent down from above to earth so that He should save people from their adversity .... He had emerged from My creative power and His love for Me was immeasurable .... the love for His fallen brothers likewise and this impelled Him to the work of mercy, because He knew the hardship of His fellow human beings, because He knew that they could not become blissfully happy as long as they were burdened by the original sin which kept the path into the kingdom of light closed to them. People's guilt was enormous and I had to receive satisfaction for it for the sake of justice .... The man Jesus offered to do so out of immense love and I accepted the offer because I did not want to and could not resist love, for what love does is always right before Me and My eyes. The man Jesus walked the earth and His life was love which He constantly increased, which completely filled Him and which therefore completely deified the man Jesus, for love is God .... You humans will never be able to unveil this secret and yet it can only be made understandable to you in this way, that I am eternal love and completely sheltered Myself in the human being Jesus .... Only the outer shell was still human, but His whole being was God, for it was love and love is God. Love moved the man Jesus to suffer and die on the cross in order to redeem people. Only love could take on such a degree of suffering as Jesus endured, because love is strength and enabled the man Jesus to endure until the end without succumbing beforehand. And Jesus knew about this measure of suffering long before, and therefore He also travelled an extremely painful earthly path, always aware of the time that lay ahead of Him. He often feared to fail and not to be able to accomplish the work of salvation, yet love always gave Him new strength again .... For My love was meant for all My creations which had fallen away from Me, and this love sacrificed Itself for all My creatures. You humans will never be able to completely fathom the mystery of My human manifestation until your nature has completely changed again into love, as you were in the beginning. But I try to make it understandable to you so that you will learn to believe that He and I were one, that you call upon Me when you call upon Jesus Christ .... For it is about the recognition of Me, Whom you once did not want to recognize because I was not visible to you .... Now you shall recognize and acknowledge Me in the visible saviour Jesus Christ, and only then will you return to Me again, from Whom you originated. And therefore My love pursues you until this return .... I will not let go of you and will not rest until you acknowledge Me and return My love .... My love will touch you again and again, it will shine upon you again and again until you open yourselves to My radiance and then find your way home again into the father's house and be eternally blissful ...._>Amen

Power redirection process .... childhood of God ....

B.D. 7576 from April 14th 1960, taken from Book No. 80

The spiritual substance within you, your soul, is indestructible, for it is the spirit of My spirit, it is strength which came forth from Me, it can never ever perish again because its original substance is the same as I, Who am from eternity to eternity .... only with the difference that you had a beginning, whereas I am from eternity. The strength radiated by Me was love .... Love is therefore your substance, and the strength of love once emanated by Me cannot pass away but always returns to its starting point. Thus all beings, all original souls, which are far away from Me, must also return to Me again, because the fundamental law from eternity is that the emanated strength flows back again to the source of strength .... So the emanation of My power is like the creation .... What I wanted, I brought forth from Myself, and it came into being .... And it can no longer pass away because My strength is imperishable. Thus, as it were, only a process of redirecting strength takes place which gives Me bliss, because strength always has to become effective and this effectiveness of strength is the cause of countless creations, partly of a spiritual, partly of an earthly material nature. All creations inspire Me, irrespective of their stage, for everything contains My strength, My will gave rise to everything, and everything demonstrates My infinite love which seeks vessels to receive My strength. Countless creations, however, change constantly, the spiritual strength contained therein certainly escapes with every transformation and looks for a new vessel according to My will .... yet the beings which once came forth from Me remain eternally what they were once they have gone through the process of transformation through the creations and have become the original being again which they were in the beginning. But then they will eternally exist as My images, as perfect beings like Myself, which now have a sphere of activity themselves because they are carriers of My everlastingly radiating strength of love and now also conduct the process of redirecting strength themselves, which continues to make them happy. As 'beings' the spiritual beings now also possess self-awareness again, for I once let self-aware beings emerge from Me who recognized Me as God and creator and who finally also recognize Me as father once they have completed the infinitely long process of change. And because they now recognize themselves as eternally imperishable beings they are also blissful, for they can now also utilize strength, light and freedom according to their own will and feel the same bliss which moved Me to create all beings and all things in infinity .... They can, like gods, work and create, for they have become perfect as their father in heaven is perfect .... (14.4.1960) And I will reveal all secrets to you when you have reached this perfect state of maturity, and you will have insight into My reign and activity, My nature will become ever more understandable to you, you will revel in bliss, for you will realize that the father's love knows no bounds, that you yourselves will constantly strive towards Him, that He gives Himself to you and fulfils everything for you .... And yet, you will never be able to fathom My nature, for this, too, is part of beatitude, that you will constantly find fulfilment of your longing and yet your longing will not come to an end, just as the happiness through Me cannot come to an end either. And this state will last forever, an eternal longing for My love and a constant fulfilment, for there is no limit to perfection, and ever new beatitudes will open up to you because I want to make you eternally happy. And My constant nearness is the highest degree of your bliss, for My children receive the strength directly from Me which they then pass on again for their own happiness. And if you humans believe that your self will pass away then you are still in profound spiritual darkness, and then the path to Me is still infinitely long .... But once My ray of love has touched you then you will also recognize your origin and then you will also safely strive back to the aim, for then your soul will have an inkling of where it has come from and will involuntarily be drawn back to it. My love is able to trigger this realization in it, but I know if and when I can touch such a soul because I know what degree it has reached .... Then 'unusual grace' is spoken of, and it is also grace in a certain sense which I, however, know that it will be accepted and correctly evaluated. For the love for My living creations is endless and leaves no-one out .... It merely has to be reciprocated, and then its strength will be able to accomplish everything, including the ascent of a soul to the highest level .... And then the soul returns to its original state .... it becomes again what it was in the beginning, it has changed into My child and will now be eternally close to Me in supreme bliss .... It has achieved childship to God and I have reached My aim, which I set for Myself when I created all beings: that I have children next to Me who can create and work and are exceedingly blissful ...._>Amen

Good Friday ....

B.D. 7577 from April 15th 1960, taken from Book No. 80

Through My suffering and death on the cross you found redemption from sin and death .... I offered the sacrifice for you as a human being, I gave My life in dreadful agony in order to redeem your guilt of sin, in order to open the kingdom of light for you again which was closed to you due to your fall into sin. And this sacrifice was made by love in Me, for this alone was capable of accomplishing such a work of mercy, because love is the strength, because love is God Himself from eternity .... What the man Jesus suffered you humans will never be able to measure, for although I Myself was in Him the human body was not spared the suffering and pain because He wanted to atone for the great guilt for the sake of righteousness .... The sin of the past apostasy from Me was so immeasurably great that the beings themselves could not have atoned for it, even if eternities had passed. For the beings were full of light when they rebelled against Me .... And the man Jesus, by virtue of His immense love, knew about this great guilt, He knew that this sin demanded an immense atonement so that justice would be satisfied .... And He offered Himself as a sacrifice to Me, and I accepted this sacrifice because love offered it, or also: I offered it Myself, I Who am eternal love .... I took abode in the man Jesus, I filled Him with My spirit, with My love, which is strength, and thus the man Jesus also mustered the strength for this work of salvation, which was associated with immeasurable suffering and torment, which corresponded to the magnitude of the guilt .... For He wanted to redeem this guilt of sin, He wanted to make atonement for the sake of righteousness .... He also knew the hardship humanity was in when no help was brought to it, and His soul had offered itself to Me as a sacrifice, His soul had remained with Me when His brothers plunged into the abyss, and His soul offered itself for their salvation because they were no longer able to ascend and because the path of return into the father's house was also blocked for them as long as their great guilt of sin had not been redeemed. The soul of Jesus knew everything .... I had sent My son to earth, I had accepted His offer to make atonement for His fallen brothers .... And He knew about the measure of suffering that awaited Him. But His love impelled Him, His love was for Me and the fallen brothers whom He wanted to bring back to Me again .... He descended to earth and walked the path as a human being, He completely accepted Me into Himself; the love which filled Him more and more .... I Myself .... determined everything He did, for this love was only meant for enslaved humanity which He wanted to release from My adversary's fetters. And so He walked the path of the cross .... the path of suffering and love .... until the time had come when He sacrificed His life for His fellow human beings, until the day had come when He suffered death on the cross in excruciating pain and agony, when He sacrificed Himself on the cross in order to redeem the great guilt of sin which burdened humanity. He suffered unspeakably, unspeakable pain was inflicted on Him by His adversaries who, as My adversary's emissaries, went wild on Him .... They were sufferings which no human being would have been able to endure had He not been sustained by the strength of love .... had not love itself filled Him and given Him the strength to persevere until His death. And this act of love redeemed humanity from eternal death .... God's justice had been satisfied, My love had made the atonement and people were free from their guilt who acknowledge Jesus' act of salvation and want to participate in it .... I Myself took pity on people, I Myself accomplished the act of salvation in the human being Jesus, I chose a human form which took superhuman suffering upon itself so that My act of mercy became evident to humanity, so that it recognized the magnitude of its guilt and now carries its guilt to Him of its own accord Who died for it on the cross .... And since I Myself was thus in this man Jesus, people now come to Me with their guilt and ask Me for forgiveness .... They acknowledge Me as they once refused to acknowledge Me, and they thereby recognize and confess their guilt .... And I accept everyone who carries his guilt under the cross, and for everyone the path to Me is now also free, for everyone the path to the father's house is free, for Jesus Christ has opened the gates which were closed due to the fall ...._>Amen

Mental drought ....

B.D. 7578 from April 16th 1960, taken from Book No. 80

The spiritual drought has spread alarmingly and everywhere the influx of the living water is resisted .... And even if My messengers spread My word everywhere, it rarely enters the hearts and fertilises them, it is often only listened to with the ears or read according to the letters, but the heart remains untouched by it. There is great spiritual hardship, the fields lie fallow, no little plant thrives on them because it is not fertilised by the water of life .... And therefore My word also remains dead, it does not awaken to life without love. And people go towards the end. They don't know what this great spiritual hardship means for them, they don't know that the soul must have found life when the human being's physical life has ended, otherwise it will remain in a state of death for endless times again .... The spiritual drought is frightening and yet could be remedied so easily, for I continuously let the living water flow and all places could absorb it and become a Garden of Eden, for My water of life possesses this power to transform arid places into fertile land .... But people feel at ease in the drought, they lack nothing and therefore don't accept anything which could contribute towards a transformation. And My divine flow of love flows constantly, but only a few are under its effect of strength, only a few submerge themselves in this flow of love and recover to new life. But where My flow of love is resisted its strength will also remain ineffective, and the human being will walk along in dry steppe and be unable to draw a refreshing drink from anywhere. For satan walks through the world and prevents people from receiving the blessings of My love .... he represents to them the path that leads to the source .... he presents them with a mirage which they strive towards and never reach the aim .... My adversary determines people's will and they obey him wherever they could resist him. And when My messengers offer the water of life he whispers empty words into their ears and they pay no attention to what My messengers bring them .... And he has this power over people because they are without love, otherwise they would also possess the strength to resist and they would already be helped if their will turned away from him. And in this spiritual adversity I would like to come to their aid again, as I once did when I descended to earth .... I only want to direct people's eyes to the act of salvation, to Jesus' death on the cross, I want them to remember Him and take refuge in Him, Who alone can help them. For I also accomplished the act of salvation for these people, and I would also like to help them to life of the soul, but their own will is required .... They must feel their spiritual drought to be agonizing and long for the water of life, they must call to Me in Jesus Christ, they must take notice of My word and thus allow themselves to be addressed by Me .... They must want the seed to sprout in their hearts and bear fruit. They must want to become blessed, so that they do not remain in death but attain life. They must want to "rise from the dead." .... As soon as this will is fulfilled they will surely escape death, because then I will be able to influence their thoughts, because then they will deal with life after death in their thoughts and because then they will no longer pass by the source of the water of life but the soul will long for the drink which awakens it to life .... And then the spiritual drought will be remedied, then the soul will not need to fear falling prey to eternal death, then it will be fed and watered, it will come to life and will now no longer lose this life eternally ...._>Amen

Easter ....

B.D. 7579 from April 17th 1960, taken from Book No. 80

And I rebuilt the Temple again as I had promised .... I arose from the dead on the third day, and My body also left the grave because it was My will that people should take notice of My resurrection. They did not believe in life after death and I wanted to provide them with the evidence that it had also been possible for Me to conquer death so that they would believe My promise that every person who believes in Me will arise into life. For this reason I let the body in its spiritual state arise from the grave, I appeared to My disciples who were able to see as well as touch Me because they should believe that I arose from the dead as I had previously announced. But only those whose spiritual state permitted it were able to see Me, for I was no longer physically among them, instead, body and soul had spiritualised themselves and therefore were only visible to those who were able to behold Me with spiritual eyes because I had opened their spiritual vision. And this, on the other hand, was the reason why people doubted, that they argued and voiced the suspicion that My body had been unlawfully removed .... just as even today My resurrection on the third day is still doubted by those who do not understand the soul and body's process of spiritualisation. People do not believe in a resurrection of the soul and yet, all people will experience the same process, when their body dies, of the soul leaving the body and entering the kingdom of the beyond, for it cannot die, but its state can be entirely different depending on its way of life. Had the latter resulted in maturity, the soul would arise into life .... to a new life in the spiritual realm .... My soul was fully matured, it had united with the Father-Spirit of eternity and during earthly life also knew how to influence the body to adapt to its desire, so that the body would already have attained the spiritualisation of all substances on earth and thus was able to arise after death with the soul, of which I provided the evidence on the third day. Yet even this process can only be believed because it can no longer be proven. But anyone who is spiritually awake, who knows of the human being's purpose and goal on earth, also believes in My resurrection on the third day with convinced faith, for he will be informed by My spirit which, after My resurrection, also illuminated My fully mature disciples who had spiritual vision, because it was My will and because they were already prepared such that the event of the outpouring of the spirit, My ascension, no longer signified a coercion of will. Therefore only a few individual people were able to behold Me after My resurrection and I strengthened these individuals for this unusual event. They saw Me .... and I wanted it this way, because My disciples were meant to go into the world in order to proclaim My Gospel and because they were to bear witness of My resurrection on the third day. However, I did not appear to the unbelievers, for they would not have been able to endure My abundance of light which would have illuminated their spiritual darkness. But anyone who hears My Gospel, who believes in Me and My act of Salvation shall also be able to believe in My resurrection from the dead, and it will indeed be possible for him to believe it because the spirit in him, which emanates from Me, educates him in the same way and grants him a living faith. He will not require any other evidence, inwardly he will be completely convinced that his soul will arise into life, consequently, he will also live his life on earth consciously, he will strive towards unity with Me, he will keep to Jesus Christ and in Him enter into contact with Me Myself .... he will strive spiritually and constantly try to live up to My will .... and he will not need to fear death because he will know that he will arise into eternal life ....

Amen

Overcoming death .... resurrection ....

B.D. 7580 from April 18th 1960, taken from Book No. 80

And your life will be a blessed one, for to have risen from the dead is to have overcome him who was once to blame for your wretchedness, who cast you down to the depths .... To be raised from the dead is to have risen from the depths to the heights, to be able to enjoy light and life and to have escaped darkness eternally. And life is unceasing activity .... you will receive strength and be able to create and work in light and freedom, you will enjoy life, for your activity will make you happy, you will be able to create like Me, and what you want will come into being .... As long as you are still bound in form, be it as a human being or in the works of creation, you are still in the state of death, even though as a human being this state is already somewhat relaxed .... even though as a human being you already possess vitality which you only need to utilize correctly in order to attain eternal life. But I first had to buy this eternal life for you with My blood .... I first had to die on the cross for your sins and then rise from the dead on the third day, because I also had to overcome death and the one who brought death into the world. And only now were you able to come to life, which you will never lose again .... But therefore no being will ever be lost, for the act of salvation was accomplished for all people, and therefore the miracle of My resurrection also applies to all people, I overcame death for all people so that all who are still dead in spirit shall attain life. With My resurrection I have proven to people that death need no longer have any terrors, that there is no death, by which is to be understood a complete passing away of the ‘self’ .... Every person will come to life one day, and it is only up to him whether he spiritualizes himself during his earthly life, as My soul and also My body did through a life of love. For love is true life, love is the strength which stimulates unceasing activity, and every person who wants to reach life from the state of death has to practice love. Then there will be no death for him either, he will only leave the external shell, he will step out of the grave which meant earthly matter for him, his body of flesh, and he will enter eternal life as a free spirit which can dwell everywhere, which can always be active, which is no longer bound to place and time and which is therefore also inexpressibly blissful ...._>Amen

Spiritual low level necessitates upheaval of earth ....

B.D. 7581 from April 19th 1960, taken from Book No. 80

You will not experience a spiritual renaissance on this earth anymore. A low level has been reached which almost cannot be surpassed because people merely exist with worldly intentions. They do not consider a spiritual life nor do they ask themselves whether they are fulfilling their real earthly task, because they cannot recognise any other earthly task except serving their physical wellbeing and enjoying life to the fullest .... Only few people start their daily activity with spiritual thoughts, and only these few live their earthly life consciously .... They sense that the human being is not on earth merely for the sake of earthly life. They think about it, and since they are of good will they gradually come to understand the purpose of their earthly life. But there are only few of them, and a person will hardly ever succeed in guiding a fellow human being on the same path and convincing him of his true destiny. And thus one can speak of a low level spiritual which necessitates a change, which involves such a breakdown of creation that it inevitably has to result in an earthly and spiritual turning point.

There have been many times indeed when people lived without God, where much injustice happened and satanic activity was plainly evident. But this situation has gone too far, almost all people now lead a superficial life, they no longer think about it, they have no sense of responsibility, they grow up without faith or merely conform to conventional faith, which is entirely worthless for the development of the soul. And they are also swayed by error, by wrong thinking, they are far from the truth and cannot find it either because they are without love .... And the reason for humanity's ailment is that love has grown cold .... that people are no longer able to believe in a God and Creator, Who is love, wisdom and might in Himself and to Whom they will have to be accountable for their conduct one day .... They lack love and therefore also awareness, they are spiritually blind and walking towards the abyss. The end will come without fail because order has to be re-established if higher development, which is the purpose for people's life on earth, is to continue.

Whatever can be saved before the end shall be saved, because God's love will help wherever the smallest measure of will for good exists. However, it would be wrong to rely on people changing their attitude towards God and faith, it would be wrong to rely on a spiritual change that supposedly will take place on this earth. Because people grant God's adversary too much power and he truly is using it well. Hence one day his activity will have to come to an end, God will have to take his power from him, his era will have to be brought to an end, and that will also involve impounding his followers as well as himself so that his evil actions will be over for a long time. It will also necessitate a breakdown and transformation of the creations which shelter spiritual substances on earth, which in turn necessitate a new creation .... the formation of a new earth, so that spiritual development can continue .... And God knows when the time is right for this, He knows when humanity has reached its lowest level, when a transformation of earth and all its creation is necessary and, furthermore, He will keep to this time in accordance with His plan of eternity ....

Amen

The paradise of the new earth ....

B.D. 7582 from April 21st 1960, taken from Book No. 80

I will transfer all of you to paradise on the new earth if you remain faithful to Me until the end .... This promise shall spur you on to diligent soul work, it shall be your hope and comfort in difficult days, it shall give you strength to endure, and it shall inspire you to always just stick to Me, to seek strength and comfort from Me, to request help from Me when you are in need. And I will help you .... Anyone who believes in Me will so obviously experience My help, and therefore he will also have nothing to fear whatever will come upon people, for he belongs to My own, who are My constant concern and who therefore will also survive the last battle on this earth because they believe in Me. I want to announce to you that you will certainly have to endure a time of adversity but that you need not fear it, for you will get through it with My strength and it will not affect you as hard as your fellow human beings who have no faith. And when the time comes when you will be harassed from all sides for the sake of your faith, then you will also know that My coming will not last much longer, for for the sake of My own I will shorten the days, for the sake of My own the time will pass quickly .... the time of the last battle of faith on this earth. And then you should always remember and hope for the joys in paradise on the new earth which lie ahead of you according to My promise. One day the time on this earth will come to an end because this is planned in My plan of salvation. And as soon as the first signs are visible you can also expect a quick course of all events. For I want to establish peace and order on earth again so that it can fulfil its task again to serve as a station of education for the spiritual, which will soon no longer be possible in the present time. Therefore a change has to be made, and this is imminent. But for the time being the last battle of faith will take place, because people still have to decide .... because a separation of spirits has to take place, which this battle of faith will bring about. But you, who belong to My own, you who believe in Me and want to remain faithful to Me, you will also survive this time unscathed, for in this battle I Myself am your commander, and together with Me you will win the battle .... because you are also confident and remember My promise. And then the joys in the paradise of the new earth will fully compensate you for all hardship and suffering you had to endure for the sake of faith but which you will also overcome with My strength, with My help .... And therefore you should look forward to that time without fear, for nothing can happen to you except what My will allows .... And this is only a blessing for you .... Only you should want to be and remain Mine .... And the time will pass quickly because I will stop satan's activity, because his time has expired and he will be put in chains again .... which also causes the end of the old earth and the day of judgment when I will come in the clouds to judge the living and the dead ...._>Amen

God's address is a great grace ....

B.D. 7583 from April 22nd 1960, taken from Book No. 80

God's address has opened up a haven of grace for you which you are unable to appreciate. God pours out His grace on you in abundance because it is the last time before the end and because you humans need a lot of help in your weakness. But if He Himself addresses you, you can draw so much grace that you will meet every demand placed upon you. When He speaks to you His strength flows directly into you, you have a means of grace of utmost importance with His word, for you are already in contact with Him through His word as soon as you receive it with your heart, as soon as you are doers and not just hearers of His word. God truly pours out a measure of grace upon you humans which you do not deserve .... but it is the time of the end, and He knows about your weakness to withstand the challenges of the enemy during this time. He works with cunning and treachery and has many accomplices who support him in his activities .... And it would be easy for them to push all people away from God if God did not also influence people with all means to help them not to get lost to Him. And God's adversary first tries to destroy faith in God in Jesus Christ, he tries to deprive all people of their faith in a God and creator of eternity Who accomplished the act of salvation in Jesus Christ. But without this faith people are lost for eternity .... And therefore God comes to their aid in such a way that He proves Himself to people through His address .... that He reveals Himself to those who only open their hearts and ears to Him, who want to believe and need help in order to be able to believe .... God reveals Himself by addressing people .... This great grace cannot be grasped, but it is based on God's great love. He reveals Himself so that people of good will can believe. He gives people an undeserved grace by proving Himself through His address but does not force people to believe but leaves it entirely up to them whether they recognize God's voice as the father's voice or not open themselves to grace and then remain a slave to God's adversary for endless times to come. Being able to believe in God also means salvation from God's adversary. But if a person loses this faith, then he himself is also lost for eternal times. And God wants to help people to believe by addressing them and can be recognized by anyone who seriously wants it. For God's address will touch him like a gift which makes him happy and which he no longer wants to miss if only he is willing to listen to Him and think about it .... Then he will draw strength from this address, he will feel addressed by a being Which loves him, and he will also learn to love this being and listen to His address ever more often, he will accept and evaluate a grace and he will become strong in faith in a God and creator Who wants to be recognized as father .... And the human being, as a child, will now also give the father the love which the father demands from His child .... And thus His word is the antidote which shall wring God's creatures out of the hand of God's adversary .... The father addresses His child, and the child now remains united with its father for all eternity and has detached itself from hostile power, it has followed Him Who revealed Himself in His love and mercy, but it followed Him of its own free will when it heard God’s address. For no matter how powerful God's gifts of grace are, they must be accepted and evaluated of their own free will, they must not exert any coercion on people. But God's love now uses such means in the last days before the end which can be effective with good will on the part of the human being in order to prevent His adversary's activity, to completely destroy faith in God .... He will not succeed because again and again God reveals Himself, because again and again He comes to the aid of people who are in danger of succumbing to God's adversary .... But the final decision lies with the human being himself, for no means of grace, no matter how great, will force his will, the human being will always have to freely decide for himself which lord he wants to follow ...._>Amen

Serious examination of spiritual knowledge with God's support ....

B.D. 7584 from April 23rd 1960, taken from Book No. 80

No person is denied the right to draw his own conclusions, but he should also know that intellect alone is no guarantee for correct thinking, irrespective of how keenly developed it is. This, in particular, applies to the assessment of spiritual knowledge for which no evidence can be produced. Whether or not such knowledge is truth can be assessed by a person as soon as he turns to God Himself for enlightened thinking .... otherwise he would be unable to examine it or form a correct judgment. But every person also has the right to reject what he cannot accept, providing he is of good will and examines it without bias. He should not blindly believe, he should think about what he is expected to believe, and he should pray for God's support to do so, he should know that the spirit within instructs him. This also demonstrates the right kind of desire for truth, and thus the truth will be given to him and he will also be able to recognise it as truth. For much is given to people as truth which nevertheless frequently contradicts itself, and then it is up to the person himself to ascertain the truth. But anyone who believes that he can figure it out with his intellect alone can expect to get even more entangled in error, because the intellect is influenced by the adversary of truth, by the prince of darkness, who will do anything to divert people from the truth and provide them with misconceptions.

However, the human being can protect himself by turning to God, by appealing to Him for the recognition of truth. For this reason no one can raise the objection that he is unable to form a correct judgment about truth or error .... As soon as he makes contact with God, as soon as he appeals to Him for enlightenment of spirit he will emotionally recognise whether he should turn to or ignore the spiritual knowledge given to him .... And he will always have the inner certainty of judging correctly because he has not formed his own judgment but God has enlightened his thoughts. But the good will to recognise and to do what is right always has to be part of it .... A rational person, however, will not scrutinise in himself what he is inclined to accept or reject .... He only uses his intellect which, however, takes a different direction, it does not consult God Himself but deems itself qualified for an examination. And it will frequently get it wrong because God does not want to be excluded and because truth comes forth from Him alone.

Yet neither should an examination be omitted because the person allegedly does not feel qualified to make a correct judgment .... For one day he will have to be answerable, and he will not be able to justify himself on account of other people's judgment which he accepted without hesitation because it was expected of him .... He should attain a living faith and that requires deliberation of what he is taught. Only the living faith will be valued by God, a dead faith, a conventional faith is, however, as good as no faith at all ....

And thus you humans will repeatedly have the opportunity to express your opinion about this or that teaching, about the spiritual information imparted to you, and you do well to turn to God Himself, for He, as the Eternal Truth, will make the truth available to you, He will place it into your heart, so that you will be able to form your own judgment, and that this judgment will also correspond to the truth. You should not just trust in your strength alone, for as soon as God cannot take part due to your will, due to your prayer, someone else will take part and he will make use of your intellect .... Then you will distance yourselves increasingly more from the truth, because he will not rest until he has achieved his objective ....

Amen

God's rightful representatives on earth ....

B.D. 7585 from April 24th 1960, taken from Book No. 80

Living 'representatives of God' on earth must be filled by My spirit otherwise they cannot serve Me in the right way. For they shall speak in My stead if they want to be My true representatives, and therefore they must speak as My spirit announces to them .... they must allow Me Myself to speak through them and thus address people directly .... They have to fulfil the conditions which allow the working of the spirit in them: they have to live in love themselves and lively believe that I reveal Myself to those who prepare themselves, and they have to constantly seek intimate contact with Me in order to be able to hear Me Myself within themselves. My true representatives on earth are driven by My spirit, for as soon as they are in living contact with Me My will is theirs and they cannot help but speak what I want to say to people. My true representatives must be filled by My spirit .... then they will also be able to give to their listeners what touches their hearts, because then I will speak to them Myself and My word will truly penetrate the heart when the human being longs for 'God's word' .... This is why My word can be heard everywhere on condition that the proclaimer first makes such heartfelt contact with Me that I Myself speak through him. And such intimate contact also includes love, otherwise the preacher does not desire to establish the bond with Me but speaks to his listeners out of his intellect and these words do not find an echo in their hearts .... unless the longing for My word is so strong in a person that I Myself want to address this person and then he also withdraws the strength from the word of God. However, the knowledge of the working of the spirit has been lost to people and even the proclaimers of the divine word lack the understanding for it. They don't believe that I speak to people Myself, that I only use the right instrument to address people directly .... They don't believe that God always reveals Himself in every way, that He speaks directly to a person who fulfils the conditions I attach to a direct reception of the word .... And because they don't believe in it themselves, they don't make themselves a receptacle for My spirit either .... And then they are also not suitable to work as My 'representatives' on earth, for a true representative has to serve Me as a mouthpiece, he has to let Me speak through himself so that people will receive 'God's word' in truth, for the proclaimers shall speak in My stead, they shall not submit their own intellectual work to people, they shall only ever hear what I Myself speak to them .... they shall let My spirit work in them .... But where faith in My working of the spirit is lacking, a person cannot claim to be 'My representative on earth' either, for only the working of My spirit in him stamps him as such. And this office can never be transferred from one person to another, no person can ever feel called to elevate a fellow human being to a 'representative of God' on earth, for this office belongs to Me alone. I choose My servants for Myself, I send the disciples into the world, I Myself speak through those who have prepared themselves to be a receiving vessel of My spirit .... I choose the right representatives for Myself on earth, for I know who is suitable for such an office, I know who serves Me as a mouthpiece, who completely enters into My will, who unites with Me so intimately that I can speak to people through him. And people will also recognize for themselves if and when they feel addressed by a sermon, for the right representative will find the right words which touch their hearts. Yet there are only a few of them, and yet I cannot deviate from My condition that the working of the spirit is necessary if proper vineyard work is to be done. Anyone who wants to work for Me and in My stead must have an awakened spirit or he will not be able to pass on the truth to his fellow human beings which originates from Me Myself. But without truth the path to Me is blocked, for no human being will be able to reach Me by the path of error .... But the truth is conveyed to you humans by the spirit from Me, which is why only such one in whom My spirit can work can be a true representative of Me on earth ...._>Amen

Gospel of love ....

B.D. 7586 from April 25th 1960, taken from Book No. 80

Again and again My gospel will be proclaimed to you, for I will never stop presenting the commandments of love to you because it is the most important thing in your earthly life to fulfil them. Therefore, again and again I will send you My messengers who will convey the divine teaching of love to you, again and again you will have to hear the gospel of love so that you will know My will and be able to live your life in accordance with it. I will not cease to preach love, for you can only become blessed through love alone. Your whole earthly existence is useless if you fail to work with love .... And you can still achieve earthly successes and still .... they are worthless for your soul, which can only mature through loving activity. And when I send My disciples out into the world I only give them the task of proclaiming the divine teaching of love, because this is the most important thing people need to know, because all other knowledge remains incomprehensible until the human being makes an effort to live a life of love. And so you will hear the same again and again: Love God above all else and your neighbour as yourself .... And a way of life in accordance with these two commandments will be blessed, it will earn you success, you will not cover earthly life in vain but reach the aim for the purpose of which you are on earth. For the fulfilment of these commandments brings about the transformation of your nature, in your last deformation as a human being you reach the state in which you originally moved, and you can leave the form as mature, you can enter the spiritual kingdom freely and light-heartedly after the death of your body. Practicing love is the most important commandment, it is the first and most important commandment, the fulfilment of which determines your fate in eternity. Every success you achieve on earth, every knowledge, no matter how extensive, earthly honour and fame .... everything is of no value if you don't have love in you, which first gives you the right realization, which correctly evaluates everything earthly, which leads you onto the spiritual path, the aim of which is Me Myself. For love alone leads you back to Me again, from Whom you once originated .... love alone shapes you such that you can come close to Me again, and love alone establishes the connection with Me which turns you into blissful beings. And if you ignore love your soul is dead, for love alone awakens it to life. But you shall acquire eternal life again in earthly life, which can only be found through love alone; you shall escape the state of death, you shall come to life .... And therefore I repeatedly bring My gospel to you, I address you Myself, I demonstrate the importance of the commandments of love to you, and I will never cease to send My messengers into the world with the instruction to proclaim the divine teaching of love. For your fate in eternity depends on it .... on the fulfilment of My commandments of love depends whether your earthly life is the conclusion of an infinitely long life in form, whether you will also cast off the last form and be able to enter eternity as a free spirit .... I want to help you achieve this, and that is why I speak to you again and again. And again and again it is My urgent admonition to all people: Love God above all else and your neighbour as yourself ...._>Amen

Blessing of the spiritual activity ....

B.D. 7587 from April 26th 1960, taken from Book No. 80

The work for the spiritual kingdom must be continued undaunted, for every spiritual activity results in its blessing. And although fellow human beings are not receptive to it, countless souls nevertheless benefit from your spiritual activity, for the hardship in the kingdom of the beyond is immense because it is necessary to bring help in the form of light and strength to the souls which still languish in the abyss .... And this certain help means My word for them, which they can hear just as much as people on earth if they don't completely reject it. The hardship of these souls is great, they sense that a decision lies ahead of them, that an even worse fate awaits them if they don't strive to change their situation .... But they also have bright moments, and at times they hear words which apply to them, to which they pay attention and which can cause them to seek the outcome of those words .... And this will always happen when you, My servants on earth, carry out vineyard work, when you hear My word or pass it on, when you yourselves move it in your thoughts. Then countless souls in the spiritual kingdom will also hear these words, and for many they can signify a change of heart and an improvement of their situation, because My word is the only means of help for those souls through which they can ascend from the abyss. You don't know how your spiritual work is pursued in the kingdom of the beyond; you don't know that you are constantly surrounded by countless souls who are only waiting for sparks of light to flash when you are spiritually active. For your spiritual work means the offering of nourishment to them, for they are starving and long for food and drink. Therefore don't let yourselves be depressed if your vineyard work on earth is seemingly fruitless .... It will always be successful, for no word that comes from Me will go unheard in infinity. But since the last days are about the redemption of countless souls from the abyss, these souls shall also be remembered from your side, for many souls are still close to earth and follow your activity. And to bring help to them is truly a vineyard work which is blessed by Me. What is often not appreciated by people is gratefully accepted by those souls once they have felt the strength of My word .... And you should bring My word to them as often as possible, and you should know that no spiritual work of yours is in vain and that these souls are eager listeners, that they always feel an influx of strength and are therefore also already won for My kingdom .... that they now strive upwards of their own accord once they have enjoyed this help which My word signifies to them at all times. And these souls will never turn away from you again, they will also bring other souls to you, they will receive My word as soon as you open yourselves to My word, and they will also experience blessings themselves from every spiritual activity you carry out for Me and My kingdom. No word is spoken or written in vain, every word will be heard and gratefully received by the souls in the kingdom of the beyond, for all of them desire the light, and you kindle this light for them when you work for Me and My kingdom, no matter what kind of work it is .... My word will always sound to them too, and they will always draw the strength from My word so that they can likewise be active and bring help to souls which are in the same need as they were before My word could sound to them. For this is My word's strength, that it motivates spiritual activity .... so that again and again new souls are won for Me and My kingdom ...._>Amen

Feeding the truth to earth and the spiritual realm ....

B.D. 7588 from April 27th 1960, taken from Book No. 80

Wherever truth is desired, spiritual progress will also be achieved, for the will to be instructed in the spiritual field is recognizable. This applies to knowledge which cannot be proven but which can move a person to reflect because his thoughts often wander into spiritual territory. A worldly person, however, will not desire spiritual truth, his thoughts are exclusively turned towards the world .... But if the desire for truth is present then it is also proven that the human being has other than worldly thoughts in him, and then he is also of good will and already unconsciously strives for spiritual higher development. And such a person will truly also be offered the truth, and he will recognize it as truth. When the word of God from above is conveyed to people then it will also be imparted to those who desire truth, even if the number of them is small. Yet God knows where His word is willingly accepted, He knows whose thoughts move in the spiritual realm and where the desire for truth predominates .... He knows which people are open-minded and faithfully receive His word .... He also knows where new ground can be opened up, and He will also send His messengers to knock at their heart's doors and offer them the gifts of their lord .... But He also knows how many souls in the spiritual kingdom are grateful for the supply of truth, and He truly considers all who merely desire to receive the truth from His hand, for this alone helps the souls to ascend in their spiritual development. And because the souls have to deal with everything on earth as well as in the spiritual kingdom, the truth has to be conveyed to them again and again .... But it always requires the willingness of those souls in the spiritual kingdom or people on earth to accept it .... it necessitates the sincere desire for truth, so that they will also recognize it as such and be happy about receiving it. And thus vessels must always be available from which the truth can be drawn .... People must declare their willingness to serve as such vessels and prepare themselves accordingly .... And pure truth will be able to be conveyed, it will be directly imparted by God, His spirit will pour into such a prepared vessel, and then all who desire the gifts of the spirit will be able to feast on its contents. To receive pure truth is an unusual gift of grace from God, because truth secures the ascent of every soul. But anyone who accepts it indifferently derives no benefit from this gift of grace, his soul will remain on the same level if it does not sink back to the depths. But every soul is free to make use of a grace or not, yet it need only want to and it will receive .... it only needs to desire the truth and will also be allowed to possess it. But then it will certainly ascend, it will mature, irrespective of whether it is still on earth or already in the beyond, for as soon as it receives truth the bond with God is also established and the soul can no longer sink back into the abyss ...._>Amen

"Behold, I stand at the door ...."

B.D. 7589 from April 28th 1960, taken from Book No. 80

Open wide the door of your heart when I desire entrance .... I knock at your door again and again, for I want to offer you a delicious gift; but I want to enter, you shall receive Me joyfully, you shall rejoice in My coming and desire with all your heart that I remain with you .... You shall recognize your father in Me, Who loves you and therefore wants to bring you good gifts .... You should not deny Me access to you .... This is all I ask of you, that you open the door of your heart wide to let Me enter. For this tells Me that you also show Me love, it tells Me that you have prepared the dwelling for Me in order to receive Me therein .... And now I can rule and reign in My house, and truly, it will only be for your blessing. For what I now offer you daily is food and drink for your soul, which now no longer needs to live in want, which unites with the spirit within itself and which will soon have found union with Me, because it will no longer let Me be displaced from its heart, because it is devoted to Me with all its senses and only ever wants the father to stay with His child in order to make it happy for as long as the soul lives on earth and also for eternity. Anyone who voluntarily accepts Me into his heart when I knock and desire entrance has achieved the greatest gain on earth, for he cannot be offered anything more delicious than My daily nourishment which I administer to the soul and which lets it mature already on earth. And thus I knock at all doors and seek admittance, and blessed is he who hears Me and opens his heart and prepares himself for My reception .... blessed is he who cleans and decorates the dwelling of his heart and at any time the lord can enter His house .... blessed is he who joyfully receives Me and no longer lets Me go away .... For I will never ever leave him, I will remain with him and bestow My love upon him, I will constantly speak to him and introduce him to the truth, because he has to know about it in order to attain the right knowledge, the light, without which he cannot be blissfully happy. And whose heart I was once able to take possession of belongs to Me, and I want to provide for him earthly and spiritually, for I will bring everything to him as soon as he lets Me enter his heart. For I do not come empty-handed, I have a rich cornucopia, and My gifts which I distribute will never end because I love you .... And My most delicious gift is My word .... for it is food and drink for the soul, it is My love's pledge, it is spiritual wealth with which you will one day be able to work in the kingdom of the beyond. And everyone will have such wealth at his disposal who opens the door of his heart to Me when I desire entrance, because I never come without gifts of grace and because I always know what the soul needs most. And I knock on many a door of the heart .... but not all of them open for Me, and then I have to move on and could not bring the soul any strengthening; I could not impart any gift of grace to it, and therefore the soul's nature remains miserable and it will also enter the kingdom of the beyond miserably when its hour has come. But it has forfeited the grace to accept Me into its heart, and one day it will bitterly regret it when it recognizes Who it was who knocked at its door without finding admittance. But I do not force My way in where the door is kept closed, I go further and only enter where I am joyfully received, where love opens the door wide for Me, where I can take abode and remain there, where the soul recognizes its God and father from Whom it never wants to leave ...._>Amen

Limitation of knowledge ....

B.D. 7590 from April 29th 1960, taken from Book No. 80

Your intellectual knowledge is subject to limitations .... Yet by way of inner enlightenment through the spirit you can gain unlimited knowledge, and this particularly applies to spiritual matters, it applies to knowledge which cannot be verified, which concerns everything of a ‘non-earthly’ nature .... For this knowledge can only be received from God Who distributes it in accordance with His wise judgment. Sharp as a person’s intellect may be .... he is unable to fathom spiritual domains, for God has reserved Himself the right to enlighten the person who asks Him for enlightenment and who also fulfils the conditions that make him worthy of an answer. But precisely this spiritual knowledge results in the person’s true understanding, which lifts him out of his state of darkness into the enlightened state of his original existence. Earthly knowledge is only of some value for the duration of earthly life, whereas spiritual knowledge remains forever.

As long as a person lacks this spiritual knowledge he lives in spiritual darkness. But he can gain this knowledge while he lives on earth .... he can achieve a state of awareness, he can receive clarification about things which his human intellect is unable to explain. He can transcend the limits of his intellect and gain knowledge which will please him and which he can take with him into eternity .... This knowledge is conveyed to him by God Himself through the spirit, providing he sincerely desires it and has fulfilled the necessary conditions: a 1iving faith in God, which he has awakened to life through deeds of love .... a sincere desire for truth and an inward listening in heart-felt contact with God, Whose Word he desires to hear. Living faith is necessary for a human being to believe that a direct communication from God is possible and listens for it .... And he will receive an answer .... God Himself will guide him into truth, God Himself will teach and explain to him whatever he wants to know. For God speaks through the spirit to the spiritual spark within the person, because spirit can only be heard by spirit.

And this divine spirit knows everything without limitation, only the human being himself limits the spirit due to his will .... due to the degree of his love which also determines the degree of realisation he will gain .... He can penetrate the most profound knowledge concerning the reign and work of God and His plan of Salvation, he can learn about everything which explains to him the purpose and meaning of creation and human existence, he can arrive at the most enlightening knowledge and thereby regain the degree of enlightenment with which he was originally blessed .... He can, in fact, find solutions to spiritual problems which human intellect will never be able to solve, and his knowledge will never be restricted by God unless the person limits himself as a result of insufficient love or adverse will .... which usually does not happen once a person could be taught by God’s spirit .... For God does not set limits, but human will is free and is always respected ....

Even so, there is no evidence for spiritual knowledge unless a person accepts the working of the spirit in himself as proof, which is indeed absolute proof to the believer, but it will not be accepted as proof by the unbeliever. For that reason spiritual knowledge cannot be conveyed academically, for even if it were passed on from person to person, the other person would lack the conviction that this knowledge is the truth, as long as he, in turn, does not meet the conditions required by God to receive spiritual knowledge. Hence, everyone has to acquire enlightenment for himself, or at least desire it and turn to the right source; but no one should believe he can gain this knowledge with his intellect alone, because God Himself is the primary source of all light .... because a human being can only gain true comprehension by way of God, Who could think of nothing better than guide people into truth, conveying true knowledge to them, and thus lead them from a state of spiritual darkness into the light. For light alone is beatitude, and to gain enlightenment is purpose and goal for every human being on earth .

Renewed banishment is the result of spiritual death ....

B.D. 7591 from April 30th 1960, taken from Book No. 80

Spiritual death necessitates banishment into matter, that is: a spiritual being having succumbed to death, which remains in a lifeless state, must be engendered into hard matter again in order to slowly return to life. As long as there is still a small spark of life within the spiritual being everything will be attempted in order to guide it further towards life, and this can certainly be successful so that the being will then be spared being banished into matter, and it will nevertheless slowly come alive, if only after an infinitely long time. But there is also a possibility that the being will become completely paralysed, that it will descend ever more into the abyss .... which many souls in the beyond allow to happen .... Then the spiritual substance of this being will be dissolved and once again placed into hard matter .... into the creations on earth. And it will have to travel a tremendously painful path in order to come back to life again. And people on earth can similarly descend in their spiritual state in the last days; they can keep striving towards the abyss of their own free will, they can completely commit themselves to the lord of darkness and, as his followers, descend into utmost darkness themselves .... And then it will also be necessary to dissolve the souls into countless minute particles and to place them into the creations again, they will have to take the path of higher development through untold forms once more until they awaken to life all over again .... And this low spiritual level has occurred; during the last days spiritual death is unmistakable and everything is being done on earth as well as in the beyond in order to stimulate individual sparks of life, in order to strengthen existing life and to prevent it from falling prey to death. For it is a time of infinite torment which the spiritual being will have to endure if it is banished into matter again. And God's love and mercy also applies to what has descended to the lowest point and wants to protect it from this fate. However, where the spiritual being's free will opposes Him God's plan of Salvation has to be carried out, after which a renewed banishment into matter will be unavoidable.

Were people to have precise information about this they would truly do everything in their power in order to escape spiritual death .... But they do not accept the knowledge of it, they don't believe in a continuation of life, they don't believe in a justification before God and neither do they believe in a God and Creator Who will demand accountability from them one day .... Their 'Ego', however, cannot cease to exist anymore and its abode will be appropriate to its state, and although it will no longer be conscious of itself in a state of death it will nevertheless feel the agony of its captivity, since it was originally created as a free spiritual being. Even so, in its lifeless state it cannot be placed where life exists because it had voluntarily chosen a state of death and its will was subsequently complied with. Free will, however, is a state of beatitude and the bound state is a state of torment .... And as a human being the soul chooses its own state. And God's love and wisdom allows it to keep its freedom but helps the human being in every conceivable way to attain eternal life .... just as He will grant His help again through a banishment into matter so that what is lifeless can awaken to life again one day. And God's love applies to all once fallen spiritual beings, it also follows them into the abyss and helps them ascend again .... but it is particularly active during the time when the being has regained its self-awareness and free will .... during the time as a human being .... so that it will then change its initially still dead state into a state of life. But the human being's free will remains untouched, it will be respected, and this free will determines whether the being will lose its external form for good or whether the form will become solid again .... so that it will return into hard matter once more. Then the being will have fallen prey to spiritual death and it will take an infinitely long time until it once again receives the grace of embodiment as a human being where it can acquire life for itself ....

The power of prayer ....

B.D. 7592 from May 1st 1960, taken from Book No. 80

You should test the power of the prayer which is sent up to Me in spirit and in truth .... And you would have certain proof that your father hears you and listens to you .... that He inclines His ear to you and grants you what you ask for. But you must pray correctly .... You must intimately unite with Me and trustingly present your requests to Me, you must turn to Me with the trust of a child towards its father, you must be certain that I love you and that love will not fail. The right relationship with Me has to be established, and that is what your prayers often lack and therefore are not listened to. As long as you still see the distant God in Me, as long as you don't nestle up to Me like children, your prayer will not arise from your heart either, only your mouth or your intellect will speak but not your heart. But I only listen to the voice of the heart, I want to hear the faithful stammering of a child and feel the love of a child which the person who faithfully calls upon Me as his God and father will also feel for Me. And these words of his will reach My ear and My love cannot help but grant the child what it asks for. The strength of a right prayer is so great that you could truly go through your earthly life without worry; but since it is up to you yourselves whether you pray in the right way, you will make many wrong requests, you will only pray according to form, your mouth will utter words which are familiar to you, the intellect will also deal with it but the heart will remain untouched, because this requires the most intimate bond with Me which you humans only rarely establish. And great adversity will first have to befall you so that fear will cause you to call upon your God and father, and then this call will come from the heart and be heard .... But if love drives you to Me then your prayer will also be a right one, for love pushes towards the eternal love, love speaks to the eternal love, and the eternal love does not deny Itself .... Again and again love is the path to the father's heart, only love is able to send a prayer to Me in spirit and in truth, and love is never rejected by Me, it finds fulfilment in My love. And I know everything you need, I know your worries, I know your desires, and I know all your requests which cause you to pray .... But I want you to come to Me yourselves and appeal to Me with all tenderness of heart to help you, and therefore I require you to pray in spirit and in truth, for I do not pay attention to lip service, nor do prayers in form reflect your own thoughts and feelings, but which I require for a right prayer .... But if you present your requests to Me in all childlikeness then you will speak to your father like children, and then the father will also hear and listen to His children. He will release you from all adversity, He will take all your wishes into account, He will help wherever you need His help and you can live a carefree earthly life if you make use of the strength of a prayer which is sent up to Me 'in spirit and in truth'. For the father in heaven hears His children, He inclines Himself towards them and draws them to His heart, He gives them His love and with His love also everything they ask for, for His true children will only ever pray for that which is not detrimental to their souls, because their inherent love also gives them realization and therefore they would not ask for anything which I would have to deny them ...._>Amen

Right use of vitality ....

B.D. 7593 from May 3rd 1960, taken from Book No. 80

Every day you are allowed to experience as a human being on this earth is a grace for you, for every day can still help your soul to mature, which will then earn it a degree of light in the kingdom of the beyond which it could only achieve on earth. Every day is a grace for you which you cannot value highly enough. For as long as you still possess vitality you can also work with love and thus gather spiritual riches which will follow you into eternity .... At the moment of death this vitality is extinguished and you stand there powerless, even if you wanted to work with love .... if you have not acquired spiritual strength through loving activity on earth. As long as you live on earth you should enjoy your vitality because you can use it to create spiritual possessions for yourselves, because you can use it to work with love and thus accomplish your change of nature for the purpose of which you are on earth. Admittedly, you can also let your will become active in the wrong direction by using all your vitality exclusively to create comfort for your body, and then you will have left the grace of being human unused, which you will bitterly regret one day when you have attained realization in the spiritual kingdom .... But as soon as you make good use of your lifetime, as soon as you take every opportunity to work with love, your spiritual wealth will constantly grow and your soul will purify itself, which love and suffering can achieve. This is why days of suffering can also be a blessing for you, for the more the soul can purify itself on earth the more permeable it will be to light when it enters the spiritual kingdom and the higher its degree of maturity, which determines its fate in eternity. For this reason you should also humbly accept suffering days and regard them as a gift of grace from God, for it is far easier to attain a certain degree of soul maturity on earth than it will be in the kingdom of the beyond, even though an ascent is still possible then but it requires far more strength than on earth. And then the soul has to acquire this strength through loving activity first, but it usually cannot muster the will to do so and has to rely on people's intercession or help from the beings of light .... And no matter how much your earthly life burdens you, no matter how difficult it seems to you to bear .... you can always request God's help, you can only turn to Jesus Christ at any time to help you carry your cross or to provide you with strength so that you are able to carry the cross yourselves. But you still possess the strength of life which enables you to increase your strength yourselves when you carry out works of love. For love is strength, and you will always receive more strength the more you practice love. And you will also be able to overcome difficult days and mature your soul through every day which brought you love and suffering. It will be able to enter the kingdom of the beyond purified and will have gained a great advantage over the souls of people who only thought of their physical comfort and went through earthly life without any complaints. And the soul will also thank its God and father for the suffering which earned it that advantage .... It will be allowed to enjoy the light and be blissfully happy in strength and freedom, it will possess riches with which it can work for its own and other souls' happiness who are still in poverty and torment in a state which requires help .... And they will be blessed to be able to help those souls because their need is unspeakably great ...._>Amen

The fall and rise of the being ....

B.D. 7594 from May 4th 1960, taken from Book No. 80

In the beginning the beings were incomparably blissful .... My love shone through them continuously and they felt this illumination as bliss, and they gave themselves to Me in ardent love, for they recognized Me as their God and creator, as the primary source from Whom all bliss emanated. They were perfect and therefore also blissful in abundance. For the perfect felt united with Me, to Whom they were therefore also infinitely devoted. Love filled all these beings, which constantly overflowed from Me into them, was reciprocated and flowed back to Me again. It was the most blissful exchange of strength of love which made both the beings as well as Me endlessly happy .... And this blissful exchange could have lasted for eternities, it need never have stopped if the beings had not changed their will which, as a sign of their divinity, was free and could determine itself. Although the being stood in brightest realization, it was flooded with light, i.e., it knew about everything .... it knew about its outcome, about its destiny .... it possessed all abilities which characterized it as My image. Thus it need not have directed its will wrongly.... But My opposite pole had an effect on the being, My first-created being, which had likewise detached itself from Me in free will and now stood opposite Me as an opposite pole with a completely wrong will. And many beings joined this opposite pole because they were able to see it, whereas I remained an inscrutable God for them. And their bliss was thereby impaired, i.e., due to their wrong will they resisted My illumination of love and consequently were no longer able to feel the bliss which initially made them overjoyed. But I did not prevent them, I allowed them to distance themselves ever further from Me because I knew that one day I would win them back again and then I would be able to provide them with even greater bliss than before. My love knows no limits, and therefore the happiness through My love must also be limitless, it must be able to constantly increase, the ray of love must be able to have an ever greater effect and therefore the bliss must also increase infinitely .... But this also requires creatures which can tolerate such an illumination of love .... it demands that My creatures increase their perfection in free will by shaping themselves into My children .... a work which cannot be accomplished by Me, only by themselves, because free will is required for this. And My 'children' will now also be able to endure such illumination of love, they will constantly receive love and radiate it like Me, and therefore they will also be allowed to be incomparably blissful, and their beatitude will never find a limit. The being which is love in itself cannot help but give love and make it happy .... My fundamental nature is love, and I would not be God if I were not constantly moved by the strength of love into new creations, for I want to make people happy and everything only contributes towards eternal happiness for the beings once created by Me. And thus all beings which are full of love are also moved by an immense creative urge to create and shape new creations, for they receive the strength from Me to do so because love constantly permeates them and love is the strength which can create and create. But My strength of love can only radiate through a being if it has become love itself, if it has accepted My original being again in which it originally stood. But that it re-enters this original state is and remains My constant aim, which I will also achieve one day. And then the beatitudes I prepare for the being which has become My child and returned to Me for eternity will also be unlimited ...._>Amen

Release of spiritual substances through destruction ....

B.D. 7595 from May 6th 1960, taken from Book No. 80

Just let yourselves be guided by Me and you will take the paths which are successful for you as well as for your fellow human beings, for the souls which allow relief work to be done on them. And I truly place My servants in the right place, in the place where they can work successfully for Me and My kingdom. But the work I require of them is also very different because My servants' abilities are different and because each one should work where his ability is needed for service to Me. A great work of redemption is underway and the whole universe is affected by it, for all spiritual beings sense the coming change and adjust themselves to it .... The evil spirit rages with increased strength, that is, its evil will intensifies and seeks to cause harm wherever it can, but the good spirit is also constantly active to weaken this work .... And I support what strives to carry out My will, both on earth as well as in the spiritual kingdom .... Mature and immature spiritual substances fight against each other, and the battle is also evident on earth, yet it always ends victoriously where I, as the commander of the army, can assist My own. And this spiritual battle is also felt by people who strive spiritually themselves and tap into the good forces, for the currents find influence everywhere where I Myself am the aim of a person's striving. And the end casts its shadow ahead .... Destructions will take place which no one thought possible before but which are nevertheless spatially limited .... before the total transformation of the earth will take place .... For the enemy of souls seeks to liberate spiritual substances through material destruction in order to gain them for himself, as he believes, and he uses people for this purpose, since any destruction of matter is impossible for him himself .... But the liberated spiritual does not come under his control but is bound again in form. But the destructions will take place and bring much misery upon people .... And this has to happen for the sake of the many bound spirits, which will still experience a change of their outer form before the end and can then already be conceived into lighter forms on the new earth. But people are also to be roused from their sleep of death, which will only ever be brought about by events which are unusual in their nature and extent. People themselves contribute much to destroying works of creation and thereby release countless spiritual substances from their bondage, but they don't consider that these still have to leave their form immaturely and that they don't exert a good influence as long as they are free .... that people will therefore feel oppressed and not recognize the cause of their restlessness .... And they would have to suffer far more under their influence if I did not soon want to bind this spiritual again in new forms .... This destructive work comes from My adversary who knows how to take advantage of people's greed for matter and causes them to carry out such works of destruction in order to release the spiritual substances bound in it .... But he gains nothing in the process but loses far more, because the human being in his urge to build up contributes to the new deformation of this spiritual substance again, albeit in a purely material sense. You who want to serve Me should know about all these processes, and you should do nothing more than try to lead your fellow human beings from the purely material path onto the spiritual path, which requires much effort and work from you but will always be a blessed beginning, no matter in which way you accomplish this task. The work you do for Me and My kingdom will be according to your ability, but the fact that you want to do it already earns you My blessing, and with My strength you will also be able to do it. And all beings of light will support you because they, too, carry out redemptive work in the universe and will always be active where their help is needed ...._>Amen

Serious warning about the end ....

B.D. 7596 from May 7th 1960, taken from Book No. 80

Consciously receive My Word as your Father's loving speech and listen to what I want to say to you: You are living in the last phase of this earth, it is you who live in the last days, it is you who can still experience the spiritual turning-point if your state of maturity allows you to persevere to the end. The time of the end has irrevocably come, regardless how implausible you deem this to be. For the day is predetermined in My plan of Salvation and it will be adhered to because the time is fulfilled. There will be no more delay, for the adversary's activity is getting out of hand and his actions will always be brought to an end when he exceeds the boundaries of his authority .... when he has influenced people to the point that they lose all faith in a God Who one day will hold every individual person to account as to how he has lived his life. The human being is supposed to choose his Lord during his lifetime on earth, he is supposed to choose Me and reject My adversary and thus he must also be informed about both powers who want to possess him and fight for his soul. This knowledge is crucial for making a decision.

My adversary, however, tries to suppress this information and he succeeds because people, due to their attitude and their will, leave themselves open to his influence. And he takes advantage of it in a way which surpasses his authority by far: He influences people to take violent actions against the believers, against everything that is to be understood as belief in a God and Creator .... Most of all, he tries to induce people into eradicating the belief in the divine Redeemer Jesus Christ. He will unleash the final battle of faith and, in a manner of speaking, force Me to put an end to his activities in order to save the few, who want to remain loyal to Me, from eternal ruin. And this time is near and therefore also the end. By repeatedly announcing this to you through My Word I only intend to make you realise the significance of the time you are living in, you should be aware of the gravity of this time and take care not to fall prey to My adversary's artful temptations, for he influences people in an appalling manner in order to make them abandon their belief in Me and is very successful. And if I Am now counteracting his actions by speaking to people Myself in order to enable them to have faith in Me or to strengthen their faith, then this, in itself, is already an explanation for My Word from above, which truly ought to convince you, for My love for you humans motivates Me to help you in a time of momentous spiritual hardship, which can let you go astray for eternities and which I therefore would like to stop from happening to you.

Even though your free will alone is decisive I nevertheless take pity on your ignorance, your misguided thinking and indifference, and by talking to you I try time and again to shake you out of your apathy and motivate you to think. Believe that you will be in great spiritual peril if you don't abide by My Word and fight against your enemy .... Believe that you have the strength to do so, that you need not fear to succumb in the battle against him .... Just change your will. Direct it towards Me if you want to find God and I will let Myself be found by you. But if you are indifferent My adversary will gain the upper hand over you, and then you will be lost for an endless time. This is the danger you find yourselves in and I know that you need exceptional help, yet I cannot determine your will, I can only ever speak to you again and warn and admonish you, I can only ever give you My merciful love and inform you of what is to come, of the time you are approaching .... I cannot do anything other than lovingly speak to you time and again, so that you may recognise a God and Father, so that you will believe in Him and loyally abide by this faith. But the end will come irrevocably, for My Word is truth and fulfils itself, and the hour of the end has been predetermined since the beginning of time .... Hence accept My Word in your hearts and just desire to become blessed .... And I will not leave you, I will give you strength to persevere until the end .... I will be a powerful protection and shield for My Own and support you when you have to profess Me before the world ....

Amen

Living faith .... Awakening of life ....

B.D. 7597 from May 8th 1960, taken from Book No. 80

Awakening into true life begins when the human being makes conscious contact with God, when he acknowledges a Being above himself .... when he thus believes in this Being and tries to join Him, that is, when he feels a relationship between the higher Being and himself and would like to continue this relationship. In that case the spiritual spark in him has already come alive and is trying to influence him from within to strive towards the eternal Father-Spirit. The spark of love has already ignited itself, thus he will always feel inwardly urged to do deeds of love, although at first they will only consist of being kind towards his fellow human beings .... But love will always be recognisable or the life in him would be unable to arise. And now this life is making itself noticeable, it is effectively a second life within himself, independent from his actual physical life which every human being experiences even if the spiritual spark in him is still dormant and he is thus spiritually dead. But only this second life gives the human being real satisfaction, for then he will be associating with God through directing his thoughts towards Him and through prayer .... And this person will not forget his God either, because God Himself will hold on to him and prevent the person from succumbing to death once more ....

Nevertheless, a distinction has to be made between the intellectual knowledge of Him and the living awareness of a higher Being, for anything taught can be forgotten again, it can be rejected at a later time; it has not yet brought the soul to life .... The latter knowledge, however, can lead to a living faith if the human being is of good will .... And then he will never lose the life again once it has come awake in him. And it can arise from the moment the human being is able to think. For as soon as he is willing to love his thinking will be guided correctly, and then he will seek the bond with God, with a Being to Whom he can give himself with confidence. For the human being feels his own inadequacy, he feels that he needs a Guide and Protector because he is aware of his weakness .... And therefore he looks for the Being from Which he expects help in every situation of life .... It happens unconsciously at first but it makes him very happy if he can believe in such a Being and has entered into contact with Him. This is the plain and simple faith which can be gained by every child but which is alive in him and not the result of teachings, which the child can certainly accept but which do not bestow the inner conviction upon him. For this conviction involves the child's willingness to love which brings the spiritual spark within itself to life. And everything else will then be induced by this spiritual spark, which time and again will stimulate the person's longing for the eternal Father-Spirit until the person quite consciously establishes the bond through heartfelt prayer which then, however, will absolutely guarantee the Father's care of the child and will never again let it descend into spiritual blindness, into death.

This is why the passing on of religious doctrines is not sufficient; although they will not be rejected they won't necessarily bestow 'life'. Only love manages to attain true life, and this alone motivates the children to think about the religious doctrines and look for the Father, Who will also let Himself be found .... And then the spiritual spark within the person will constantly urge him towards the Father-Spirit. He will feel inwardly pushed to bond with Him; he will feel inwardly pushed into kind-hearted activity and prayer. And both will initiate the unification with Him, which is the purpose and goal of earthly life .... both will awaken the human being into eternal life, into a life he cannot lose anymore because it is the spiritual life which has nothing in common with earthly life. And then the human being will have found his God, the child will have found the Father and surrendered itself to Him forever .... And from now on the human being cannot die again; he will live eternally ....

Amen

Examining spiritual good .... feeding the word ....

B.D. 7598 from May 11th 1960, taken from Book No. 80

You may only accept as truth that which has its origin in Me. And thus you have to check where spiritual knowledge has originated which is presented to you as truth. And you will be able to do this if you are serious about recognizing truth or error, and if you approach Me for spiritual enlightenment that you will think correctly yourselves and thus also judge correctly. And you will mostly find out that it is spiritual knowledge passed on from person to person, the origin of which you are no longer able to ascertain. And then you will do well to inform yourselves as to what extent such spiritual knowledge corresponds to the word conveyed to you from above by Me .... The truth has to come forth from Me in order to be able to be addressed as truth. And again and again My pure word has also been conveyed to earth from Me .... Therefore it must be able to be compared and correspond with the spiritual knowledge which is offered to you from outside. And then you will recognize for yourselves to what extent truth has been offered to you. But you should never accept it unchecked, and if you can no longer ascertain its origin then be careful with accepting it, for only pure truth will result in spiritual gain for you, whereas error or lies mean danger for your souls. But this examination is usually omitted .... And therefore much error has crept into My gospel, it is no longer the pure teaching as I Myself proclaimed it on earth. Many changes have been made and people no longer know how to distinguish between the pure truth from Me and the humanly added extras and represent everything as 'divine word'. But if 'My word' is to remain in existence for all eternity I have to convey it to earth again and again anew, because imperfect people do not keep anything pure but in their imperfection also disfigure the most perfect, My word .... and thus I must always ensure that My pure word is conveyed to people so that My word will be fulfilled: “Heaven and earth will pass away but 'My word' will remain for all eternity ...." And you humans should do your part, you should want the truth to be offered to you by Me, you should pay attention to what spiritual knowledge is then brought to you from outside, you should pay attention to the origin and desire that God Himself may address you .... And I will do so by awakening your spirit and you will brightly and clearly recognize where error has crept in and reject it as such. You are capable of doing so if only you are willing to receive truth and intimately unite with Me and appeal for the supply of it. Then your spirit will be awakened and able to precisely distinguish truth from error, and you will be able to book a spiritual benefit for your souls which only truth can bestow upon them. And you need never fear that you yourselves are incapable of rightly judging what is truth and what is error .... Your will and desire for truth also guarantees you such, because I Myself do not want you to go astray, that the truth is withheld from you by My adversary and his representatives on earth. Thus I will help My own to find the truth, only you should want to belong to My own yourselves, i.e. strive towards the truth and thus towards Me Myself, Who is the eternal truth. It is all so simple and should be understandable to you humans that I only ever want to make the truth accessible to you, thus everything is done on My part to bring you into possession of truth .... And you need only want to live in truth and your will will be complied with. But you should never unquestioningly accept spiritual knowledge which is given to you by people, for only a serious examination can guarantee you the supply of truth, otherwise you will be indifferent and never be able to distinguish error from truth because you lack the serious will to do so. You can and will receive everything you desire from Me, yet without your desire I withhold Myself because I respect your free will, because My grace cannot work against your will either ...._>Amen

Admonition for all vineyard labourers ....

B.D. 7599 from May 14th 1960, taken from Book No. 80

The waves of unrest trying to take hold of you, My servants on earth, will keep rising, and you will go through all kinds of problems and yet, you must remain faithful to Me in all problems of body and soul .... Always remember that you are living at the time of the end .... And this endtime will still bring you a great many surprises of various kinds. But one thing is certain, you should faithfully keep to My revelations, to My Word, which comes to you from above. For even in this respect My adversary will try to cause much confusion by aiming to intersperse the truth with serious errors, and he will be successful because people often lack the spirit of discernment .... because they often lack an awakened spirit. However, they can pray for the gift of discernment, for I will truly not let a person live in error who sincerely desires the truth. And I will certainly convey to you the knowledge you need in order to successfully accomplish your vineyard work for Me and My kingdom .... for this reason it is not necessary for you to adopt unfamiliar spiritual knowledge you have not received from Me. But you should pay attention to what happens around you, to what is going on in this world and to people’s actions, because thereby you will recognise the activity of the one who is raging during the last days because he knows that he does not have much time left. And thus I tell you time and time again that you should leave the control and guidance to Me, because I know where and in which way a person who is willing to work for Me is a faithful labourer .... And I will truly assign his work to him, he will not need to search for the work he should do for Me. However, it is My adversary’s activity to keep confusing people’s thoughts, to rush and irritate them, to deprive them of their inner calm, to turn people against each other and to destroy all good relations .... My adversary also exerts his influence by diverting people’s eyes from purely spiritual processes and directing them towards the machinations of immature spirits which avail themselves of ensnared people in order to cause trouble .... Follow your path steadfastly, be willing to serve Me as faithful servants and always wait for where I will deploy you for your service .... And I will guide you .... but do not act independently, instead, let Me arrange everything, because I know the success or failure, I also know My adversary’s activity and can only ever advise you to turn to Me, to hand yourselves over to Me and not to act overzealously, because all agitation is My adversary’s work, but you can only find inner calm in Me. If you let Me be your guide and constant companion, everything will work itself out in such a way that you need only follow your inner urging and you will be acting in a righteous and good way before Me and thus serve Me in truth as My labourers in My vineyard. But do not allow yourselves to be influenced by strange forces. And you will always have to fear a strange force if you lose your inner calm. Everything requires its time, and even the activity of evil forces is permitted by Me so that the extent of people’s resistance to them can be tested. When the time is right I will confront them with My strength and then you, My servants, will know that you are working and acting for Me. And therefore there is only one thing to do: trustingly hand yourselves over to Me and appeal for My guidance, then you will be called to service which could be a success for Me .... You should not tackle things of your own accord without having received instructions from Me .... but you should at all times be ready to serve Me, then you will be guided such that you can accomplish your vineyard work well, that you can save souls from their final downfall .... that you therefore will be diligent labourers for Me during the last days before the end.

Amen

God's revelation .... "Receive and eat ...."

B.D. 7600 from May 15th 1960, taken from Book No. 80

My word gives you everything you need on earth .... For as soon as you are addressed by Me you will not lack strength and grace, and you will be well provided for spiritually and earthly .... for My promise is “I will not leave you orphaned ...." I will reveal Myself to you and thus make Myself known to you as your father. And a father truly provides for his child spiritually and earthly if only it allows itself to be addressed by Him. For then you will give Me the evidence that you love Me and I will likewise prove My fatherly love to you by speaking to you. And a loving father's heart is always ready to give. Thus you will not need to do without anything when you hear My address, for then you will know that you are My children who are also subject to My spiritual and physical care. And how happy you may praise yourselves that you hear My word, for thereby you are given the evidence that you belong to My children who have already taken the path to the father and who will also safely reach the aim. And no more anxiety should befall you, for your very will to let Me speak to you also gives you the strength to continue on your earthly path in the certainty that you will cover it until the end .... For it is "My flesh" that you eat and "My blood" that you drink .... It is bread and wine which you may enjoy for the strengthening of your soul. You receive Me Myself within you, for I am the word made flesh .... Just consider the depth of these words .... that I Myself am within you when you hear My word, when I speak to you, when I offer you My greatest gift of love which you can ever receive from Me on earth. I am in you or you would not be able to hear Me, and My presence must make you overjoyed. Therefore you can truly consider yourselves blissfully happy when you are in the grace of My direct address, when you receive My word directly conveyed to earth through messengers, when you are honoured by My address which stamps you as My children, for only My own can recognize My pure word and only My own accept it into their hearts. And the fact that you hear or are allowed to read My word will be proof to you that you belong to My own, and you should be happy in this certainty and only desire ever more eagerly to hear My word, you should not let any opportunity pass by where My word sounds to you, for then you will also have the guarantee that I Myself am in you and with you, otherwise you would not be able to hear Me, otherwise you would not recognize the father's voice Who speaks to you Himself. And you shall hungrily enjoy the food I offer you .... you shall eat My flesh and drink My blood and thus receive Me completely into your heart .... You shall receive bread and wine from the heavens and let yourselves be strengthened in a way that no other nourishment your earthly body is able to receive. For I offer My nourishment to the soul, and this nourishment lets the soul mature and helps it to attain eternal life .... Do you now know why I sent the words to you through My disciples: “Receive and eat, receive and drink”? do you know then that I also addressed My disciples, that they heard My word and that they should carry this word out into the world? "Do this in remembrance of Me ...." What have you humans made of My words, and what meaning have you given them? That in the end only a few still know that I still give people bread and wine, that I give them My word as proper nourishment for their souls .... and that I am present to them when they can hear My speech, My voice. And My word will endure for all eternity .... Again and again I will address people where they allow My presence, and again and again they will be able to draw strength from My address so that their souls mature, that they fulfil the purpose of earthly life, that they shape themselves into love and now seek and find union with Me because My love constantly addresses them, because My love draws them and thus the soul can no longer resist My illumination of love, My word ...._>Amen

Contact with inhabitants of other worlds .... ‘In My Father’s house ....’

B.D. 7601 from May 17th 1960, taken from Book No. 80

Countless heavenly bodies circle the universe, and they all have the task of helping immature souls reach maturity ....

So now you can understand the Words: ‘In My Father’s house are many mansions ....’ And every star receives the souls whose state of maturity is suitable to its conditions; in other words, the potential for maturity differs on every star and the souls are placed accordingly. But the living conditions, too, are always different, because the stars’ nature and consistency vary. A detailed description cannot be given to people on earth because much would be incomprehensible to them and requires spiritual knowledge in order to be understood. But for all souls, whatever their degree of maturity, suitable stars exist for maturing, where souls of good will are able to ascend. For even there the spiritual beings’ free will is taken into account, even there spiritual constraint is not applied, although the respective living conditions constrain the beings to the extent that they have to accept them or they could not survive in their world. And everywhere the beings will receive a light which reveals the purpose of their existence .... Whether they accept and utilise the light is up to them but it is decisive for their ascent. And all these works of God’s creation are ‘mansions in the Father’s house ....’

Hence all spiritual essence will one day achieve the degree of maturity which will enable it to exchange physical creations with purely spiritual ones .... which you humans are unable to perceive with your physical eyes. Because everything that is visible to you are creations which shelter beings which are still immature, since perfected beings are active in the kingdom of light and no longer require ‘visible’ creations for their abode. But the distance between all these works of creation is vast and they are not within reach of each other either .... The inhabitants of all these worlds are tied to their planet, to the star on which they live .... They are only able to change their abode after reaching a certain degree of maturity, and not arbitrarily but in line with God’s fundamental law .... to which all His creations must submit, including the beings who are allocated to them. It is therefore foolish to assume that the inhabitants of these worlds could arbitrarily depart from them and approach other worlds without fearing their own destruction. Because the living conditions are different on all stars and these cannot be excluded arbitrarily. However, during the last days even such plans are being worked on.

(17.05.1960) God’s opponent takes advantage of people’s gullibility by feigning that they can have contact with inhabitants of other worlds and that these, for apparently good reasons, also want to make contact with the inhabitants of earth. He intends to undermine the belief in an end of the old earth and thereby prevent people from preparing themselves for this end .... But people should be informed that earth is a planet on its own which has no connection with other worlds, and that any connection with other worlds can only be spiritually established .... Hence the human being is, in fact, able to make contact with inhabitants of advanced worlds, with the kingdom of light, by way of good and appealing thoughts for help at times of spiritual hardship .... which will then be given to him spiritually .... but that it is not advisable for him to call on beings on other stars whose spiritual degree of maturity and their ability to offer spiritual help is unknown to him. Physical help is definitely out of the question, as God’s adversary would like people to believe that these beings could exert their influence on the inhabitants of earth before a final destruction. Only God can provide the right kind of help when the time arrives which is feared by you humans, and if you believe it He will grant this help to everyone who asks for it.

And He truly has enough angels who exclusively comply with and implement His will, and they will also take care of people when the hour comes .... But God’s adversary has found fertile ground in people’s gullibility onto which he can sow many bad seeds. People would rather accept his misguided instructions than pure truth, which shows the value of his seeds. Because error is always accepted over truth, the human being will always seek to gain advantage from error and reject the truth, which does not promise him any profits. The end is near, and it will come without fail .... Every teaching is wrong which questions an end or provides people with a way out that does not correspond with God’s will .... For God Himself will lead everyone out of danger who entrusts himself to Him, who takes refuge with Him, who belongs to His Own who need not fear an end ....

Amen

Meaning and purpose of existence: turning away from the world ....

B.D. 7602 from May 18th 1960, taken from Book No. 80

And it will soon become certain to you that the world cannot fulfil your wishes and desires, for it will disappoint everyone who still has a spark of spiritual life in him, i.e. it will not be able to permanently satisfy him who strives for the life which lasts forever. Only the one who is completely enslaved by the world and thus by the lord of this world will not cease his striving for this world, for the lord will not let him who holds him captive. Yet again and again God Himself will let the human being recognize the signs of this world's transience, again and again the world will disappoint the one whose soul God is still struggling for .... and again and again this will therefore be a means to release the human being from his love of the world, even though he still has to stand in the midst of the world because this is what life as a human being demands. But he will realize that the world is not the meaning and purpose of earthly life but that he is on earth for the sake of his soul and that it desires something else than the world can offer it. For this reason you humans can also expect a change in world events with certainty, you can be certain that many things will happen and might startle you out of your rest, for for the sake of the few who are still undecided which path they should take, the path will obviously be shown to them .... They shall still surrender their love for the world, and they will be helped to do so, for anyone who recognizes the world as deceptive and worthless will also not hesitate to surrender it for that which appears more valuable to him. And this purpose is pursued on God's part when He allows things which you humans often cannot understand and reconcile with God's love. For He always takes the individual's spiritual hardship and attitude into account and is always ready to help. And if the world seriously disappoints a person he will also find the path to God more easily .... And this is what He wants to achieve, that they seek God of their own free will and that He can then also let Himself be found. (18.5.1960) But as long as the world fulfils people's desire their gaze will also remain turned towards the world, and then they will not pay attention to a God, for they still regard earthly life as an end in itself which, after all, is only a means to an end. And only recurring failures can inspire them to think differently and make them reflect. And what people first perceive as a severe blow of fate can soon reveal a great blessing, it can change the person inwardly and also determine a different way of life which is beneficial for his soul. People are placed in the world, they are meant to prove themselves, to meet the requirements which serve the preservation of the body, but they should not forget the spiritual life for the sake of the world, which they absolutely have to live next to the earthly life if the earthly path of life is to be fulfilled. For the soul should mature, and it must be thought of, which is all too often neglected because of the world. And yet, the transience of earthly life, the worthlessness of the world, is so obvious and can be recognized by every person of good will and is also recognized by those who are responsible and therefore also think about the meaning and purpose of existence on earth. And God helps all those by letting them become ever more aware of the transience of the world .... by often forcibly removing what is only an obstacle to the ascent upwards .... And He will still often manifest Himself through fateful events which are not dependent on human will but clearly betray the intervention of a higher power. For He wants to be recognized, He wants to be called upon and asked for His help, He then wants to prove Himself to people through His obvious assistance, and He wants to push people away from the world and turn them towards the kingdom which is not of this world .... He wants people to seek Him so that He can also let Himself be found ...._>Amen

God's blessing should be requested ....

B.D. 7603 from May 20th 1960, taken from Book No. 80

Don't fail to appeal for My blessing in whatever you start, for thereby you demonstrate that you have chosen Me as your leader, that you don't want to do anything without Me, that you thus want to be in contact with Me .... And this assures you of My blessing and My guidance wherever you go .... And believe that you need not fear any setbacks if you have appealed for My blessing beforehand, that this request will truly protect you from failure .... for even what you possibly consider failure will then, in truth, only benefit your soul. You should only ever think of Me, that is all I expect of you; but you often exclude Me from your thoughts, and then you always run the risk that My adversary will intrude and influence you unfavourably.

I want to caution you of this, otherwise you make your earthly path more difficult, because you can have a far easier life if I Am and remain your constant companion .... And time and again you have to request My assistance, for the bond with Me is necessary in order to be protected from My adversary who will not stop bothering you. He has much power during the last days before the end which only you can reduce, for your will and thoughts when they are turned towards Me are a substantial shield in the battle against him, it is the best weapon you can use to oppose him, since then you will call Me to you, from Whom he takes flight and thus lets go of you too.

He causes much confusion even amongst My Own, because he will put everyone belonging to Me under extreme pressure by squeezing between people and turning them against each other. And then you only need to make contact with Me and he will set you free. For you and your will are the decisive factors as to whether he can take possession of you. This is why you don't need to be afraid of him, because he is completely powerless if your will applies to Me and thus you give yourselves to Me with complete confidence and appeal for My protection. But he has great power over you if you walk alone, without Me and My illuminating guidance. Then he can be effective in his domain, and he does so in truly satanic style.

This is why I keep telling you, do not start anything without first appealing for My blessing, and thereby proving to Me your resolve to be connected with Me, and you truly will finish your day's work with My blessing, it will be successful, you will walk along calmly and with inner peace, you will no longer be a target for him, for I will be walking by your side, and he will take flight from Me, because he cannot bear the bright radiance of My light that surrounds you now ....

Amen

Forerunner .... Knowledge about previous incarnation ....

B.D. 7604 from May 22nd 1960, taken from Book No. 80

You, who live on earth during the last days in order to be of service to Me, should not lose yourselves in assumptions as to whose spirit you embody. I have spread a veil across things which are not conducive to your earthly life and your mission. This is why the knowledge about your former incarnation on earth is withheld from you. Let it suffice you to know that I provide everyone willing to be of service to Me with great strength and grace and that, precisely because the adversary's activity during the last days is so powerful, it also requires powerful spirits of light in order to counteract and stand up to his activity where redemptive work is carried out on earth. And these spirits of light must remain profoundly humble in order to accomplish their mission, because pride, or arrogance, in particular offer the adversary the best opening for an attack and might therefore undermine this mission. And all people are in danger of falling prey to this, his very attribute and arch-evil .... For this reason such opportunities are not supported on My part, instead I only ever try to influence the human being to remain profoundly humble, because then he will also be able to resist My adversary and not get caught up in his nets of lies. And it is not helpful for a person to know about his previous incarnation .... or he would receive this knowledge the moment he starts his work for Me and My kingdom ....

But one person will know about it, it will not be concealed from him, because he has to accomplish the most demanding task in the last days: as My forerunner to announce Me, as a voice in the wilderness to proclaim My coming in the clouds and to pay for his mission for Me with his life .... This knowledge, however, will not burden him because he will be a supremely powerful spirit who consciously undertook his last embodiment on earth in recognition of the urgency of his task, which he shall be willing to accomplish out of profound love for Me. He is one of the few who seal what they proclaim with death .... He has the strength to do so because he loves Me Whom he once did not quite recognise, who indeed had to give up his life for Me once before but who is willing to die a thousand deaths on My behalf .... who therefore also travels this final earthly path in awareness of his mission and his origin. But he will only be certain of this when his final mission begins, when he .... having previously lived in utter seclusion .... steps into the limelight, when his heartfelt bond with God suddenly enlightens him about the task he has to accomplish on earth .... Then he will proclaim Me with fiery zeal, he will do whatever it takes to refer people to the end and the last Judgment; he will speak frankly and boldly against the rulers whose power he does not fear, instead he will publicly denounce them because he recognises them as emissaries of Satan, against whom he openly campaigns.

And this will be My last sign, for he will appear during the final stages, during the time of the battle of faith, which will be waged shortly before the end. Regardless of what you hear earlier .... his time of activity will not start until this battle of faith erupts, when the lights will shine brightly to point people to the path which all people shall take .... And he will be the brightest light which will shine where you least expect it .... his radiance will outshine everything and therefore also be recognisable by all who don't shun the light .... But be patient and wait until then, and don't entertain false assumptions in advance .... For you will often still be misled by My adversary who wants to divert your vision in order to stop you, who are willing to serve Me as loyal servants, from your own missionary work. Don't let yourselves be deceived .... you will very clearly recognise when the time has come where such extraordinary things will happen that I, too, will have to intervene extraordinarily in order to help My Own. For My adversary's actions will shake their faith as well if they don't firmly adhere to Me and hand everything over to Me in confidence of My right guidance. And then you shall also feel My will within your hearts, so that you no longer need to ask what you ought to do. My will shall be within you, you shall not be able to act against My will, and you will also know that your actions are merely fulfilling My will. Time and again I say to you: don't be hasty, wait until I call you, until I place My will into your heart, for your premature actions can also destroy what has been laboriously built up before.

Always bear in mind that people's faith is still too weak, that they occasionally need a lighter fare so as not to harm their souls .... And to these you should only preach My Gospel of love but not present them with teachings which they are unable to grasp. And this also includes the knowledge about the incarnation of spirits of light, because they often lack belief in the soul's continuation of life altogether. It is not always appropriate to announce the appearance of the forerunner prior to My second coming to such people, yet if they accept My Gospel of love they will also learn to believe and recognise him when he appears, because he will be preceded by grave events and a 'separation of the spirits' will then be recognisable .... people, who are either for or against Me and therefore exhibit corresponding spiritual understanding. Not much time will pass before all these Words will be understandable to you, and then you will no longer ask but know that My coming is imminent, because you will recognise the one who was My forerunner during My time on earth and who will be it again, as it is proclaimed in Word and Scripture ....

Amen

Grant of grace and efficacy ....

B.D. 7605 from May 23rd 1960, taken from Book No. 80

My grace flows to every human being .... Hence it is wrong to say that this or that person is unusually gifted, rather, it is his own will that the human being opens himself to a flow of grace which touches him, that he accepts what I bestow upon him .... and since I distribute unlimitedly he can therefore also receive unlimitedly. Thus he is then under the influence of a flow of grace which is also recognizable to his fellow human beings and is also felt unusually. But then it is also obvious to fellow human beings that this person must be extremely willing to love or he would not positively relate to the flow of grace which touches him. For the love within him also lets him recognize that he is considered by his God and father, and then he consciously accepts the gifts of grace from My hand .... Thus My word from above can reach a person or be conveyed to him through My messengers .... the person willing to love will recognize and accept it as My address. And this is an unusual gift of grace which can promote the soul's development to the highest degree in a short time. But the same word can be offered to a person who ignores or rejects it .... He has received the same unusual grace and .... because his heart has little love .... he still does not let it take effect, he does not make use of the grace and therefore has no spiritual progress to report. But he was no less lovingly considered by Me, yet his free will was decisive as to how he accepted My gift of grace. And I also know whose will is turned towards Me and whom I can therefore also bestow with gifts of grace which seem unusual .... I know whose soul only needs a little impetus in order to completely embark on the path of salvation, to brightly and clearly recognize its earthly task and to eagerly work for the salvation of its soul. I also know where a spark of love has the strength to ignite and let a bright flame flare up, and I am always willing to help by supplying you with graces, because My love for you is boundless and I want to give you everything you lack so that you will become blissfully happy. And thus only simple devotion to Me is ever necessary which also secures a strong influx of grace for you. And you can be certain that you will be helped in every way to mature spiritually. You can be certain that I know about all your shortcomings and always want to compensate for them with graces which you then only need to use. And you will do so if the spirit of love predominates in you, for then you will also feel My love for you and gratefully accept what My love offers you. I constantly want to give and make you happy, and all My blessings are gifts because they flow to you without merit .... because they are only ever intended to promote your upward development, which is determined by your free will itself .... And My blessings flow to you so that this will is used correctly. And no-one will be ignored, everyone can draw unlimited grace from My love .... But no-one will be forced to accept My grace ...._>Amen

God's protection to His own and to the vineyard workers ....

B.D. 7606 from May 24th 1960, taken from Book No. 80

You will have to attach yourselves ever more firmly to Me, for the afflictions will also become increasingly stronger and you would be unable to resist without My help. But you know that I always want to be your protection and shield and support if only you stick to Me and no longer leave Me out of your thoughts .... Only the bond with Me can be your secure help, and the more intimately you establish it the less you will be affected by all adversity which, however, will increase the closer it is to the end. And I speak to you as your father Who truly wants to spare His children all adversity .... I speak to you as your God and creator, Who truly also has the power to protect each of His children from adversity and suffering .... And I speak to you as the father of the house Who promises safe protection to His servants who faithfully serve Him. For I need you .... There is still a time when much rescue work can be done, there is still a time when you live in a certain freedom, when you can be active for Me and My kingdom without being prevented by worldly power. But the time will soon come when this activity will also be forbidden to you, when you will only be able to work in secret and when you only have to place all your trust in Me that I will protect you, no matter what you undertake .... And I have always promised you My protection and will thus grant it to you so that you can still work until the end comes .... Therefore, don't worry unnecessarily and don't let yourselves be weighed down by afflictions of any kind, but only ever seek to strengthen your bond with Me and you will have nothing to fear .... no matter how troubled things are around you .... I am your protection and shield and your companion wherever you go .... For there are still tasks to be fulfilled until your day's work is completed, and as long as I need you, you are also under My protection. None of you can shape his life's destiny according to his will if I am not of the same will or allow his plan; but since I know what task you still have to accomplish on earth I will also shape your life's destiny accordingly, and in this confidence you should only completely hand yourselves over to Me and everything will take care of itself. Every earthly worry is unnecessary as long as your spiritual salvation appears to be the most important thing for you. And if you want to serve Me you should also strive for your spiritual salvation, and then you can also be sure that I will take care of you fatherly and guide you until the end of your life. For I will not leave My own in adversity of body and soul, I will stand by My own and reveal Myself to them as God and creator, as the most loving father from eternity ...._>Amen

Good will guarantees approach to God ....

B.D. 7607 from May 25th 1960, taken from Book No. 80

The will to do good also ensures that the human being comes closer to God, that he learns to recognize Him and submits to His will. The spark of love is placed in the heart of every human being, and it is this that determines the course of development of the human being, his spiritual maturity. A person can be of good will from his youth, he can prove to himself and his environment that he is of good will to help if he complies with his inner urge .... if he allows himself to be guided by his conscience. And he can now also certainly come to a certain spiritual realization very soon .... he will learn to recognize God and seek to approach Him, and God will meet him because He knows about the human being's good will. And this is the secret of love .... Eternal love powerfully attracts the person who nourishes the spark of love within himself, who is therefore of good will. And this person will then also recognize the love with which God is inclined towards him, he will recognize God in everything that surrounds him, in what happens and in what concerns him .... He will surrender to Him and of his own accord do what is God's will: he will live in love and awaken his spirit .... and he will mature in his soul. Thus it only requires good will to achieve the aim on earth for the purpose of which the human being lives. And even if he initially knows nothing more about it .... the realization comes to him of its own accord because the spark of love is active in him and thus awakens the spirit in him to life. Then he has emerged from the initially dead state and becomes active himself in God's will. And God will now give him the task which the human being declares himself willing to fulfil, consciously or also unconsciously, for God knows to what extent he will comply with this task and what abilities the human being possesses in order to walk on earth for blessing. And the human being offers Him no resistance because his will is good and he completely submits himself to God's will. This devotion to God is the most beautiful thing in life, for then it relieves the human being of all responsibility, it gives him inner peace and joy, it leads him ever closer to God Who now draws him in turn, Who does not leave his side and Who protects him against all attacks by the enemy of his soul. And then it will truly also be easy for the human being to fulfil his earthly task, he will not need to use great force in order to acquire the kingdom of heaven, the yoke will be gentle for him and the burden light, for he is of good will. And his love for God and his neighbour grows daily and constantly fills him with more strength to be able to accomplish everything that is required of him, both spiritually and earthly. Then he will also have entered into the right relationship, he will then associate with God like a child with its father, and the child will feel the father's love and walk through earthly life in peace with God .... it will also know that its true home is not earth but that it will return home to its father's house after its death, because the father draws His child in His love until it has found its way home to Him ...._>Amen

Love and suffering purify the soul ....

B.D. 7608 from May 26th 1960, taken from Book No. 80

Love and suffering purify the human soul, love and suffering are the purifying agents which make the soul permeable to light, which repel everything impure from it and shape the soul in such a way that it can enter the kingdom of light without having to perish from the radiation of light which then happens to it. Love alone could bring about such a purification of the soul, for love is radiant light which consumes everything that exposes itself to it, so that then only the spiritual substance remains which once came forth from God as a perfect being. Love alone would therefore bring about a transformation of the soul so that it could enter the spiritual kingdom completely spiritualized and clear. But love is not brought by people to the degree which would result in such a transfiguration of the soul .... And that is why love must also be accompanied by suffering, which is also a sure means for its purification. And suffering must therefore be humbly borne by people if the soul is to completely purify itself and become a spiritual being permeable to light. And therefore you should also bless suffering and accept it as a gift of grace from God's hand. You don't know the effect of love and suffering, again and again you are told how successful you can be if you live in love and patiently endure the suffering imposed on you during your time on earth. Yet you don't value this knowledge, you are negligent in your activity of love and you often rebel when suffering weighs you down .... You want to shake it off you, you don't like to endure suffering, and therefore your soul needs a long time until it has completely purged itself, and often it doesn't achieve it on earth, and then it enters the kingdom of the beyond without being sufficiently prepared .... It has not yet been completely purified on earth, and therefore it is not so easy for bright light to shine through it, because again and again the dross darkens the light, because again and again it prevents the rays of light of love from touching it, which will always constitute its beatitude. Love and suffering are necessary in earthly life because they help the soul to mature .... However, the soul can reduce the amount of suffering at any time if it exercises love to an increased degree, if its degree of love is so high that all dross of the soul is dissolved through love .... thus if the process of transformation through love has taken place and the soul is completely purified when it departs from this earth. Yet the person who is unable to be depressed by suffering can consider himself blissfully happy, for the soul increasingly repels the dross and more and more freely receives the light which it can now radiate through on earth and which then constitutes its bliss in the spiritual kingdom. All spiritual substances shall mature, body and soul shall spiritualize themselves during earthly life, and this can also happen quickly if the human being endeavours to always live in love, and if he also bears the suffering imposed on him with regard to its effect on the soul .... if he bears it without grumbling or complaining .... if only he always regards it as a God-imposed means of purification which can earn the soul progress which will make it highly happy after the death of the body, where the soul's maturity alone determines its fate .... where the soul alone is assessed according to its state of maturity and this therefore necessitates a complete purification which only the human being's will can accomplish itself. For he must be willing to love and suffer on earth .... Then the soul will become increasingly more receptive to light, then its spiritual destiny will be sealed .... it will attain life and will now never lose this life again ...._>Amen

The end will come unexpectedly ....

B.D. 7609 from May 28th 1960, taken from Book No. 80

And unusual intervention by God will take place when the time is right .... This has been announced to you over and over again, yet you doubt it, because the time I still grant to you as a reprieve seems too long for you; however, you fail to consider that I regard time differently, that a short extension of time is irrelevant in view of the magnitude of My intervention, in view of the overwhelming act of destruction which this intervention as well as the forthcoming end will mean to humanity. You forget the fact that you were nevertheless only granted a short time of grace but that even the longest period of time will one day come to an end and that you should, therefore, expect every day that My announcements will fulfil themselves. And this is how you should also look at your life, always thinking that every day could be the last day for you. One day, when you no longer live on earth in the flesh, you will realise how short your whole lifetime on earth has been. And then you will also understand the urgency of My admonitions and warnings, for only then will you realise that your concept of time on earth is different from that in the spiritual realm. However, you should already recognise this while you are living on earth and therefore accept My admonitions and warnings, you should not doubt even if you think it takes a long time until My intervention will take place. It will nevertheless come unexpectedly and cause tremendous adversity to those people who are not yet so united with Me that, in their distress, they simply take refuge with Me.

The day will come unexpectedly, like all big natural disasters of a similar kind, which you humans are unable to prevent or evaluate in advance .... Even so, it will come without fail .... I will repeat this time and again with all urgency, because it is necessary for you to prepare yourselves for it, for you to believe and always live your life in view of this natural event. For no human being will know whether he will belong to the survivors, no-one will know where the event will take place and which countries will be affected by it. You all should count on it and be thankful to Me if it passes you by. For in that case you will still have to fulfil the task of carrying out labours of love for those affected unfortunate people and of showing them the path to Me, so that I can comfort and uplift them and lead them out of all adversity. For truly, nothing is impossible for Me, and an intimate prayer can avert much suffering and hardship, wherever it may be. This is why I repeatedly come in the Word to you, so that you can draw strength from it in advance and calmly face whatever will affect you. And time and again I say to you: take care that you belong to My Own, who will find refuge and protection with Me, whom I will strengthen over and over again and to whom I will impart extraordinary strength to work for Me and My name. And then the end will not be far away anymore. And you should all prepare yourselves for this end and learn to believe ever more firmly what is proclaimed to you through My Word .... For everything will come to pass when the time is right ....

Amen

Right or wrong will ....

B.D. 7610 from May 29th 1960, taken from Book No. 80

You could already achieve the transformation into love in a short time if only you seriously thought about your purpose on earth and also reckoned with a quick recall. Then you would direct your thinking more spiritually, you would live more responsibly and thus also fulfil the commandments of love for God and your neighbour, always providing you are of good will. For it depends on the direction of your will whether it still belongs entirely to God's adversary or has already turned towards God. In the latter case God takes hold of the human being and constantly gives him strength to ascend, and then his thinking will also be right. And this turning towards God is innermost experience which no human being determines, which even God's adversary cannot prevent, which the human being does himself of his own accord and which alone is decisive for his spiritual progress, for this will turned towards God now also enables a supply of strength from God's side. And then the contact is already established and this is also a guarantee for the change of being into love .... For the influx of strength from God means the illumination of God's love, which will have such an effect again that the human being's spark of love will ignite and grow into a bright flame, because the strength of love will not remain ineffective. For this reason, however, it is necessary that people receive the knowledge of God, of His infinite love, wisdom and power, so that the human being himself can adjust to it, so that he can turn to Him if his will is good. Everything else is taken care of by God Himself in His love, because He knows that the human being is weak and will never be able to ascend to Him on his own .... But the human being's good will is enough for Him to supply him with the necessary strength .... And thus the human being is fatefully guided through his earthly life, always in such a way that it serves him to accomplish his change of nature, that he learns to recognize God and can turn to Him. Yet his will remains free, he will neither be forced by God nor by His adversary; he has to decide for himself and, if he makes the right decision, can reach his aim in a very short time .... For the will turned towards God now guarantees him His help in every way, and therefore it is not difficult to find and travel the path into the kingdom of heaven, because he can always be certain of God's support, Who truly does everything to regain His children who were once lost to Him. Only the will to unite has to come forth from the human being himself, because the being itself had once separated itself from Him even in free will. But that the human being can achieve it in an earthly life, however short, is certain and therefore also the thought comforting that every human being can reach his aim if only he wants it himself. Life's fate takes his nature into account, and God always helps in His love where the human being threatens to fail. He cannot compulsorily correct a will which is completely turned away from Him, and then the human being will go to ruin, then he will have to accept the consequences of a wrong will, which are truly extremely painful but cannot be avoided according to the law of eternity. The human being has full freedom of will, and he should only use it in the right way ...._>Amen

Separation of the spirits .... The end of an earthly period ....

B.D. 7611 from May 30th 1960, taken from Book No. 80

The path as a human being through earthly life is the once fallen original spirit's last phase of development on this earth .... it is the conclusion of the time this spirit was granted for its higher development, it is the conclusion of the period of time during which the original spirit is able to attain perfection again if it makes good use of the last phase, the stage as a human being, if it turns its will in the right direction during this time. Thus it is able to achieve its goal of entering the kingdom, from whence it originated, in a completely spiritualised state again; it is able to return to the light, to the Primary Source of eternity, to the Father, from Whom it formerly emerged as His living creation. But although this earthly life is short, compared to the infinitely long period of time of preliminary development, the great risk nevertheless exists that the human being will misuse his will again, that he will not strive to attain his perfection but descend into the abyss again .... And since this is his free will he cannot be prevented from doing so, just as he, vice versa, cannot be forced to turn his will correctly. Hence it is a matter of testing his will for the second time, and he has to pass this test as a human being or his course through earthly life will have been unsuccessful .... which might also result in a renewed banishment into matter if he is not granted the last grace to gradually ascend in the kingdom of the beyond under far more difficult conditions than on earth. This possibility still exists for as long as the earthly period has not yet been concluded because the realm of the beyond is still open to the souls which depart from this earth in an immature state. Yet the gates to the beyond will close as soon as this period of Salvation comes to an end and a new one starts again .... For the end of an old era also means the complete separation of the spirits, it means a reintegration of all spirits into external covers or creations which correspond to their degree of maturity.

And for the purpose of a renewed banishment hell will also spew out everything during the last days, then every possibility to advance further in the kingdom of the beyond will also be over, on account of which considerable redemptive work is still carried out in order to still save souls from below from a repeated banishment into matter. Substantial sifting will take place in the beyond and on earth. And if people on earth would consider how far they have already progressed and how near they are to attaining their perfection they would truly muster all their strength in order to still make good use of the time they have left until the end .... Yet no matter what is said to them they take nothing seriously; they don't use the time in order to reach their goal and the last grace of their embodiment as a human being is passing them by ineffectively, for even all other means of grace bestowed upon them during this time are either not accepted or used incorrectly, and an infinitely long process of development is coming to an end without have reached the right outcome for the human soul .... for the once fallen original spirit, which is intended to return to God .... However, people can only be admonished and warned, and that happens to a large extent through the divine Word which God's greater than great love conveys from above to people on earth as an exceptional means of grace .... And all people will be addressed by it and need only open their heart and ears in order to feel the strength of the divine Word and to assuredly ascend. Thus every human being has the option to obtain strength for himself, he only has to be of good will and strive to fulfil the purpose of his earthly life .... He must live the short time until the end of his life consciously, he must want to comply with the will of the One Who had given him his life, he must hand himself over to Him and appeal to Him for strength and grace. Then he will also reach his goal, for this appeal will always be granted to him, and God will bless everyone who turns to Him for strength and grace, and his earthly path will not have been in vain ....

Amen

Spiritual compulsion .... Dogma ....

B.D. 7612 from May 31th 1960, taken from Book No. 80

You shall have full spiritual freedom .... You should not be forced by any side to think, you should not be led or kept away from spiritual material of whatever kind by commandments and prohibitions .... It should be entirely up to you how you relate to the spiritual knowledge you receive, and you should not be prevented from receiving spiritual knowledge either, because it must be up to you whether you relate to it positively or negatively. And thus you must not be taught doctrines of faith as 'dogma' which you therefore have to believe if you don't want to fall into spiritual or earthly punishment. It is wrong to command you to believe something, for you should only believe what is pure truth, and every doctrine of faith must therefore first be tested for its truth .... which, however, is often denied to you and you should therefore accept these teachings under 'spiritual compulsion'. God has given you free will, He has equipped you with the gift of understanding, thus every person must also be free to believe what he wants, even if purest truth is offered to him. For he is only on earth because of his free decision, only his free decision is valued, but not a thinking and acting which was demanded of him under a compulsion of will. Freedom of will marks man as a divine creature, freedom of will is to accomplish the way back to God, man's will is to freely decide for God. Spiritual teachings should now show him the right path to God .... And they will also show the human being the right path if they correspond to truth. However, due to the influence of God's adversary many lies and errors have been brought into the world .... The doctrines of faith are interspersed with error and can now rather be an obstacle to reach the right path to God. And this is something the human being should decide for himself, he should freely choose the spiritual knowledge offered to him, for one day he will also have to answer for his way of life on earth, for his spiritual development. But he can achieve great spiritual progress through right faith, i.e. through the acceptance of truth, and therefore he should make an effort to experience this truth, and this requires free will and serious examination of what is presented to him. But if a doctrine of faith is elevated to a 'dogma', then the human being is, so to speak, forbidden to examine it, he must, as it were, submit himself to a higher authority which, however, is not entitled to curtail the human being's freedom of will. For spiritual coercion is not God's will, and a dogma is spiritual coercion .... Every individual human being must take responsibility for his salvation, thus every individual human being must also be allowed to deal with his thoughts when it concerns spiritual knowledge, teachings which are demanded of him to believe. He must be willing to reach God, and then he will also clearly recognize what has come forth from God, and only then will he accept it as truth. And this examination must not be forbidden to him by church organisations, otherwise the human being will be made unfree in his thinking and acting. Only through the freedom of his will can the human being attain the perfection again which he once also surrendered in free will. And therefore this free will may not be touched during earthly life, which, however, would always mean a 'dogma'. Only what the human being makes his own in free will is decisive for his maturity of soul, for his fate in eternity ...._>Amen

The Father speaks to His child ....

B.D. 7613 from June 1st 1960, taken from Book No. 80

You all are able to listen to My voice within yourselves and it will speak to you .... Yet how rarely do you humans establish such an intimate bond with Me and keep constantly thinking of Me. How rarely do you give Me the opportunity to speak to you by consciously entrusting yourselves to Me in order to talk to Me personally, by withdrawing from the world and involving yourselves in thoughts solely of Me. You do this so seldom because you don't seriously believe that you will be able to hear Me, that I will speak to you like a father speaks to his children. You have not yet established the relationship of a child to its father, I Am only ever the distant God to you, Whom you dare not address and Who therefore cannot talk to you like a father to his child .... But you can try it at anytime .... You only need to withdraw from the world, you only need to quietly enter into contemplation and take the path to Me in your thoughts .... You need only wish to hear My voice and your desire will be fulfilled when you listen attentively and observe the thoughts which arise in you more distinctly, because the more intimately you are giving yourselves to Me, the more you will desire to hear Me. For I will answer you .... because I do nothing more gladly than talking to My children who are now bound to Me by a strong bond of love, the Father's love to His child. And if you would make this attempt more often, you would be delighted by the inner peace permeating you, for you would feel My nearness and in this nearness you would also know yourselves to always be protected. Every one of you could attain this blessing of My communication, even if he is not conscious of the fact that it is this intimate contact with Me which provides him with inner tranquillity. But soon he will not want to miss these hours which he gives to Me, which he spends in quiet contemplation, and his soul will mature, for he will never be without a flow of strength when he has looked for and found Me.

Every thought of Me is a blessing .... All people should avail themselves of this and time after time turn to Me in thought, for then he will have already addressed Me and I can answer him if he listens to this answer, that is, if he waits quietly and then takes notice of his arising thoughts. Then he draws Me to himself, and thus I can always be with those whose thoughts are with Me .... They induce My presence themselves, and My presence always has to be of benefit for your souls. Hence you should often give yourselves the blessing of My presence, for it requires your will to withdraw from the world and lift yourselves into spiritual spheres, where you will always be when your thoughts are with Me. And then your soul will truly not suffer anymore, for it will be strengthened by Me Myself, Who has access to it now, Who can now speak to and give it what it needs to fully mature during its time on earth. For I want that it should achieve perfection while it is still on earth, and as soon as I can influence the soul directly its perfection will also be guaranteed. And therefore I want to be able to address it directly, yet your will has to decide that you will intimately devote yourselves to Me and desire to hear Me .... Then I will surely be with you and I will talk to you like a father to his child whose love I want to win forever ....

Amen

Granting of graces through God's love ....

B.D. 7614 from June 2nd 1960, taken from Book No. 80

Only ever request My grace and I will grant it to you in abundance. For I gladly consider you as soon as you only address one request to Me, and you will never present a spiritual request to Me in vain, for I will always give you what is beneficial for your soul's salvation. But graces are aids for the maturing of souls .... Grace is everything I bestow on you as a gift, everything which has not been earned by your merit .... Graces are gifts from My love, for it constantly endeavours to grant you spiritual and earthly support .... And when you approach Me for grace then you also acknowledge your God and father Who alone can and will bestow grace upon you. For My love guarantees you this, which applies to you and will always apply to you for all eternity. You will never call upon Me in vain for grace and strength, because I only wait for your call in order to be able to distribute what I want to bestow upon you so that you will become blissfully happy. And the person who always thinks of Me first in every adversity of body and soul can consider himself fortunate, for he will soon be relieved of his adversity again, after all, it is only a means to turn your thoughts towards Me. But once I have reached this aim all hardship will also leave you, and you will also have made use of a grace which was bestowed upon you by Me. I always want to stay with you with My grace, I want to constantly bestow gifts of love upon you, and you need do nothing more than accept these gifts of love, to appeal for My grace, and you will receive it in abundance. It is an act of mercy when I bestow this grace upon you, because you live weakly and wretchedly through earthly life and can use all help from My side, which you have not earned but which My love cannot withhold from you because you are weak and wretched. And thus you will always be carried by My grace, that is, My merciful love will always consider you according to your weakness, and you will never go empty-handed if only you inwardly express the request for mercy, if you appeal to Me in every weakness or adversity. And wherever you are, I will walk amongst you, I will be with you at all times with My grace, I will guide you along the paths you should take for your salvation, I will take part in everything that moves you and I will guide your thoughts right .... And all these are blessings which you cannot value highly enough, they are gifts of love which the father offers to His children, they are the evidence of My love for you which never ends. Therefore only ever commend yourselves to My grace, for then you will also turn your thoughts to Me, and then I Myself can also be with you and protect you against every danger to your body and soul ...._>Amen

Work of the spirit .... right prophets ....

B.D. 7615 from June 4th 1960, taken from Book No. 80

You carry the divine spark within you, that is, you are My share and will remain so for all eternity, for this divine spark of love is the spirit of My spirit, it is the bond which unites us, which will irrevocably bring us intimately together if you don't completely spill the spiritual spark within yourselves through an unkind way of life and conscious turning away from Me. The embodiment as a human being would not lead you to any aim if it were not for this spark in you which you can ignite within yourselves and which then will certainly strive towards Me Myself as its exit .... The divine spark within you is therefore love .... You have the ability within yourselves to feel love and to exercise it because this spark of love causes you to do so if you give in to its urging, which you feel as the voice of conscience .... But whether you are willing to work with love is what your soul's maturity depends on and thus your fate in eternity. For the ability is placed in you through that spark of love which has a direct bond with Me. But I cannot place willingness into your heart in the same way because this is the free decision for the purpose of which you live on earth. But if your will is ready for it then you can accomplish great things, because the spiritual spark in you affects you such that you seek unity with Me as the father-spirit of eternity and can then also develop unlimited abilities, or even that you acquire the abilities again which you once possessed but voluntarily relinquished through your apostasy from Me. This great sin has been redeemed by Me through My crucifixion, at the same time, after the redemption of your guilt, the possibility has now been created for you to allow the spirit to work in you .... that is, to establish the direct bond with Me as the father-spirit, so that My spirit can now flow into you for increased activity. This possibility did not exist before My crucifixion, even though the divine spark of love was dormant in the human being, thus people were not incapable of loving activity. But willingness first required the redemption of guilt, for people's will was weakened by My adversary, and this will was strengthened by My sacrifice on the cross, by the recognition of Jesus Christ's act of salvation. And the will could then cause My spirit to unite with the spiritual spark and thus work in the human being. But a distinction has to be made between people who were burdened with the original sin, who therefore first had to be redeemed in order to experience the working of the divine spirit .... and people who had missions to fulfil on earth, i.e. who descended to earth from above in order to inform people of My coming .... and who were also inspired by My spirit to speak for Me and My kingdom, who were therefore prompted by Me and also understood the language of the spirit, because they were souls from above, thus non-fallen original spirits. And again and again I awakened such prophets to announce My coming to earth. They heard My voice and understood Me, they lived in love and were recognizable at all times as My emissaries and servants .... But these prophetic announcements could not be compared to the 'gifts of the spirit' which all people were able to acquire after My sacrifice on the cross, who were prompted by their weakness of will to devote themselves to Me in Jesus Christ with complete faith and to appeal to Me for strengthening of their will and who were then impelled by their spiritual spark to consciously seek the bond with the father-spirit and also establish it through a life of love .... then they were guided and instructed by their now awakened spirit, they received the gifts of the spirit according to their ability and their task, which was now assigned to them by My spirit .... And they were now awakened to life which they could no longer lose eternally. And all of you humans can now strive for this awakening of the spirit, providing you acknowledge Jesus' act of salvation, providing you yourselves have relinquished your past guilt of sin and therefore My spirit can unite with the spiritual spark in you again, which was not possible before My act of salvation. Understand the outpouring of the spirit right .... you must strive for it yourselves of your own accord by awakening the spiritual spark within you and then establish the most intimate bond with Me through loving activity and your own will, so that My spirit can overflow into you and think of you according to your desire and your task recognized by Me and now assigned to you .... Then you will be 'filled with My spirit' .... and it will guide you and introduce you to all truth, it will let you hear and feel what I Myself want to communicate to you, for 'My spirit' is 'I Myself', and I now speak to you because your spiritual spark has intimately united with Me and made the address possible .... And this is My love for you, that I speak through My spirit again and again and to all people and that everyone is able to hear My voice who believes in Me, who loves Me and keeps My commandments ...._>Amen

Spiritual turn ....

B.D. 7616 from June 5th 1960, taken from Book No. 80

The spiritual turning point can soon be expected but no longer on this earth. Individual souls can certainly still be saved, they can be induced to leave My adversary's camp and cross over into My camp, but they will only ever be a few for whose sake I will also delay the end, even though the spiritual low has already occurred which justifies the end of the old earth. But I have fixed the day and therefore I will not accomplish the work of transformation of the old earth an hour earlier than it has been planned since eternity .... And with the end of the old earth a new time also dawns .... Then the spiritual turning point will have occurred and everything will again move in the righteous order which corresponds to My law. And all people will then also be spirit-filled, for the inhabitants of the new earth will then be in a state of maturity that My spirit can constantly overflow into their hearts. They live in and with Me, I Myself can instruct them, I can speak to them, I am in the midst of My children and all live a right and righteous life in paradise on the new earth .... This spiritual turning point is imminent .... Even if I still delay, but the time has approached, and the time limit is only short until the appointed day. But you still have a time limit, and you should make good use of it, for no matter how short it is, every individual can still achieve spiritual progress, and every individual can prepare himself to belong to those who may live the paradisiacal life on the new earth, as I have promised you. You should know that every day you work with love will bring you unimagined wealth; you should know that I accept everyone who calls upon Me and also grant him the strength to accomplish the work of transformation in himself .... And you should believe that you are close to the end of the old earth, that the day will come sooner than you think. And according to these words you should now live, i.e. shape your being into love, and you will have done everything and can then look forward to the end with great peace of mind .... Just let love flare up in you and know that you thereby unite with Me and that you can never ever get lost in your connection with Me. Make the spiritual change in yourselves before the end, turn back on the path you are now walking on .... if you have not yet taken the spiritual path. Let yourselves be called by Me and reminded to remember the end, and then eagerly start working on your soul .... Connect yourselves with Me in thought and don't sever this bond, for then you will be saved, even if the end comes suddenly and unexpectedly, if you are called away beforehand or even if you still experience the day itself .... But then you can no longer get lost, you will have taken the path home into the father's house, and you will reach your aim on earth or in the kingdom of the beyond if you have to leave earth first. But change yourselves and your nature into love .... I urgently call upon you who have not yet seriously thought about your purpose on earth, who walk your earthly path without Me and are therefore in greatest danger of losing yourselves completely to My adversary. There is still a short period of time, words of love still sound to you again and again which admonish and warn you .... But it will soon be over, and then irrevocable judgment will come, irrevocable the last day will come and the responsibility for each one of you. For I restore the order which is law from eternity, and that also means the end of the old earth, the end of a redemption period and the beginning of a new one .... It means an earthly and a spiritual turning point .... a new earth and a new heaven will arise, as it is proclaimed in word and scripture ...._>Amen

Many are called, few are chosen ....

B.D. 7617 from June 6th 1960, taken from Book No. 80

Anyone who feels called to a spiritual task should also regard this task as a matter of priority, for an inner calling has come forth from Me and therefore My will shall also always be fulfilled. And My spirit will announce to the human being what I require of him, and therefore he need only follow the inner urge in order to now also fulfil his task. Many people have been called by Me in the last days but only a few have been chosen because the tasks given to them require certain abilities as well as a firm will to serve Me. And I can truly assess what task I can give to the individual, and I know how he will now fulfil it. And accordingly he will now be employed to be successfully active in My vineyard. And his life's fate is also arranged in such a way as to be advantageous for his service for Me. And at times it appears as if this fate would be detrimental to the human being's task, as if the human being would be fatefully hindered in his service for Me .... Yet he should remain in the constant certainty that he is called by Me for his service and therefore will also be kept fit for it by Me as long as it is My will. And he should be eager and always remember that he is only a faithful servant to Me when he complies with My instructions .... when he does what is within his power .... And he should not let himself be determined by fellow human beings in his vineyard work, he should only listen to My word which will sound to him whenever he desires it. For My true vineyard labourers will also hear My voice within themselves, and thus they can only ever do the right work if they open themselves to this voice and obey it. But who is My right vineyard labourer? Anyone who seriously places himself at My disposal out of love for Me and his neighbour, who wants to cooperate in the redemption of erring souls and who therefore establishes and maintains the intimate connection with Me in which he can hear My word which instructs him about his earthly task. This serious will to cooperate is highly valued by Me and I take him into My service because I need labourers in My vineyard who are extremely active in the last days and thus help where there is great spiritual need .... But they are not allowed to act on their own authority, they shall wait for My call and accept My instructions which I will then also clearly send to them through the heart. And I will bless everyone who still offers himself to Me for service, because it is necessary in the last days that eager work is done so that people will still be saved from the destruction of earth, which is imminent in a short time .... which will bring about a spiritual and earthly change, as I repeatedly announce through My word, which you should therefore also believe so that you will not get lost ...._>Amen

Where did evil come from? ....

B.D. 7618a from June 11th 1960, taken from Book No. 80

You cannot assess to which abysmal distance the once-fallen spirit has sunk as a result of its opposition to Me, his God and Creator of eternity. He knew Me, he possessed an abundance of light which excluded all deficiency of realisation .... throughout eternities he received the evidence of My love and strength; he knew he had come forth from Me, that I had created him; he was inconceivably happy to receive My strength of love and he used this strength according to his will, which continuously augmented his bliss .... And yet, he left Me .... He rebelled against Me, rejected My love and plunged into bottomless depths .... He, whom I once created in My image, became My direct opposite .... And now you humans pose the question as to how this could have been possible; after all, the first being, the bearer of light, was created in all perfection, as nothing imperfect can come forth from Me .... This question can only be answered in that perfection knows no limitation, no restriction; it was able to move in any direction without being prevented from doing so. Free will is an imperative part of perfection .... perfection includes the fact that everything has the rightful measure but this also means that free will can exceed the rightful measure and that the rightful measure will thereby be revoked .... Lawful order is the rightful measure in all things. Consequently, if free will diverts from the lawful dimension, disorder will ensue, a state, which no longer corresponds to My will, to My eternal order. Hence something initially divine, something good, changes into something non-divine .... into something opposing God .... And this is therefore the concept of ‘sin’ .... On the other hand, it must be possible to exceed the ‘rightful measure’, otherwise free will could not become active, but it can just as well remain within eternal order. It is therefore indeed possible that a being created by Me can entertain wrong thoughts and intentions because it has free will .... but it is never pushed by Me Myself into wrong thinking and wanting, because it would be impossible for Me, the most perfect Being, to ever have a wrong thought, hence the allegation is wrong that evil is also inherent in Me .... Nor did the being I externalised have anything evil in itself when I created it .... everything it possessed was the lawful measure so that it did not have to fall ....

However, because the thoughts and intentions of the perfect being were unlimited, it was also able to go beyond the rightful measure .... it was able to lose itself and step out of the eternal order. But this spiritual confusion of the being could only occur when it turned away from Me, when it prevented My Word from sounding in him, for My Word was unable to give or demand anything else but perfection .... My Word would never have induced the being into leaving My eternal order, but once the bond with Me became loosened and the being no longer listened to My voice, it was also able to think and want in the wrong direction, because this option was open to it on account of its decision of will. Yet ‘sin’ .... the wrong will .... was at all times external from Me, I was only ever able to think and want in lawful order. I Myself was perfect, I created perfect beings and these remained perfect for as long as they upheld their connection with Me, but which they were also able to sever as a sign that they possessed free will. But this bond with Me guaranteed right inclinations and thoughts .... detachment from Me resulted in wrong inclinations and thoughts. For the being aspired towards something external to Me .... Lucifer, the light bearer, put himself in My place, although he recognised Me as the primary source .... The beings which came forth from both of us put Lucifer in My place, even though they, too, possessed the light of realisation .... Hence they deliberately carried out the separation and no longer moved within the right order, they no longer possessed the rightful measure, instead, the negative now predominated .... whereas in lawful order the positive prevails. In other words: perfection was being lost and something imperfect emerged from this change of will, which expressed itself in a negative way and thus distanced itself increasingly further. Something outside of Me also went outside the lawful order, because lawful order can only be in Me, the most perfect Being, and because everything that does not correspond to this order is evil .... therefore sin. And so the answer to the question as to whether I carry evil in Me is clear. Nothing evil can exist in Me or I would not be perfect. And evil is always that which steps out of this perfection and turns the rightful measure around, which thus revokes the eternal order, which is the fundamental principle of My nature. However, as evidence of its divinity I had to give free will to every being, and this had to have the option to change itself in any direction .... And thus the being itself created evil when it rebelled against Me, when it left the eternal order, when it wanted to use its strength negatively and work against Me .... when it distanced itself from Me. And for the sake of My ultimate goal .... for My living creations to become ‘children’ .... I did not prevent the being, nevertheless, it could just as well have remained with Me, it did not have to become sinful and fall, it could have voluntarily remained perfect and enjoyed supreme bliss, nevertheless, it voluntarily forfeited it.

Amen

Where did evil come from? ....

B.D. 7618b from June 10th 1960, taken from Book No. 80

However, it cannot be denied that the human being has evil within himself, for he does not live in lawful order as yet, he is still outside of Me and must first have entered the order of eternity again in order to then, as a perfect being, also have cleansed himself of everything evil, in order to be a divine being again .... My image. But, on the other hand, it cannot be said that at the birth of a human being evil has been implanted in him by Me either, for this does not correspond to truth; instead, the soul, which now animates the body, is an aggregation of tiny immature particles which are not moving within lawful order as yet and have to enter this order during their existence on earth .... It is still distant from Me when it embodies itself as a human being and shall unite itself with Me. Free will, which the original spirit once possessed, should strive towards unification with Me once more, it should liberate itself from all negative thoughts and will indeed only allow positive thoughts to arise in him the more the human being strives towards Me and seeks to unite with Me again. In that case he will push everything evil out from him, he will try to keep the order, he will find the 'rightful measure' in everything .... He will be good again just as he was in the beginning. Evil is only external to the Divine, it is the 'disobedience to God' .... But I cannot be disobedient to Myself .... My fundamental nature is love. I can only ever give and provide happiness, but I cannot force the being to accept My gift .... It must also be able to reject it because it has free will. However, as soon as it rejects My love, it opposes Me and places itself outside the circuit of My flow of love. And then the positive turns itself into the negative .... From then on the state of the being is such that it starts to want and think wrongly and distances itself ever further .... The process of return gradually reduces the vast distance; however, as long as the being has not voluntarily looked for and found the final proximity to Me it still harbours wrong thoughts which are .... because they are against Me .... evil and should be changed into the opposite during its human existence. And if the human being voluntarily seeks unity with Me, then he will reject every wrong thought, he will look for and only want the good, the Divine .... He will want to become again what he was in the beginning .... My image, My child, which is and will remain united with Me for all eternity ....

Turning to God is passing the test of will ....

B.D. 7619 from June 12th 1960, taken from Book No. 80

To pass the last test of will on earth is your own business. And that is why your earthly life is responsible, because your fate in eternity depends on passing it. You can develop your will in every direction, you will not be hindered; but you have received intellect and can therefore think and consider all pros and cons .... But you also have prayer .... But as soon as you are able, that is, willing, to pray, you have already passed the test of will that you turn to Me. Then your heart has already spoken .... But your intellect can also come to the same conclusion if your will is good; then it will also be able to recognize Me in everything that surrounds it and it will also turn to Me as the creator and Sustainer of all that. Yet by far the greater part of people do not use their intellect when it concerns spiritual problems, and then there is a great danger that they will not pass the test of will on earth .... There is a danger that people will not seek contact with Me, their God and creator, that their will will be directed away from Me, that they will see nothing but the world and live their worldly life until they die. Then their earthly life was in vain, for they cannot be forced to change their will, it must be entirely up to them which way they turn, and then they must also bear the consequences for their life in the beyond. Yet these people do not believe in a continuation of life, they do not believe that their souls are imperishable and that their earthly life has a negative effect on their soul. But they cannot be forced to believe either, thus only one possibility remains, that they repeatedly receive information about Me and My working through their fellow human beings and that they have to go through hardship and suffering in order to then take the path to Me in their helplessness .... Once his will has found its way to Me I can also take hold of the human being and help him further up, but this conscious turn of will towards Me has to be done by him himself, it has to take place in all freedom of will, and the human being is saved for all eternity. My adversary, however, will try everything to prevent this conscious turn of will towards Me, yet again and again My love creates opportunities for the human being which cause him to turn his thoughts towards Me, thus he will always be supported by Me without being forced to make a decision of will, but neither can My adversary. But the soul's fate in eternity depends on the right decision of will, and therefore I will again and again point out to people through My word that they are on earth for that purpose, so that their intellect can deal with it and now also becomes active. Therefore, again and again people will receive information through My word about a God and creator Who also wants to be the father of His living creations .... And people will also gain knowledge but first have to adjust to it .... And whoever believes will be blessed .... but whoever does not believe will face an agonising fate in the kingdom of the beyond, and he will still remain in torment for eternities until he, too, will one day find his way to Me of his own free will ...._>Amen

Exhortation to work in the vineyard ....

B.D. 7620 from June 13th 1960, taken from Book No. 80

This is your mission, that you spread My word .... I speak to you again and again and I want you to pass on My word, for I speak through you to all people who want to listen to you. And thus I send you out into the world again, that is, I give you the task to proclaim the divine teaching of love, to inform your fellow human beings that you have received this teaching of love from Me directly and that they should therefore live their way of life in accordance with this teaching of love. If you are able to inform your fellow human beings of this, youâ€™ll have done a lot of successful vineyard work. you have successfully worked in the vineyard, and you have been efficient servants for Me who worked for their Lord according to His will. People live in ignorance; they don't know how detrimental a life without love is for their soul .... But their attention must be drawn to the fact that they must not live so thoughtlessly, they must know about their purpose of earthly life and their task, they must be instructed that they can only become blissfully happy through love. And therefore the commandments of love have to be conveyed to them, they have to experience that I Myself speak to people again and again, that I also want to address them and that I now also do so through you .... They also have to learn about My divine teaching of love and then arrange their lives accordingly so that their earthly life will not have been in vain, so that their souls will mature on earth and they will be able to enter the kingdom of light and beatitude after their death. Therefore you, My servants on earth, should do everything that is beneficial for the spreading of My word .... This is why I call upon you again and again, because it is urgent, because the time you have left until the end is running out. And every spiritual work you do for Me will truly be blessed, for every soul I can address through you will receive strength if only it listens to Me in readiness, if it does not reject you and thus also Me Myself, Who speaks to them through you. Every word the soul receives is an influx of strength which enables it and which otherwise could not be conveyed. And I truly struggle for every soul in the last days before the end, which I can protect from ruin, from falling into the abyss. If you want to be My co-workers then voluntarily place yourselves at My disposal, allow Me to speak through you and pass on My word and a great blessing will truly rest on your activity, even if you don't feel it that way on earth. But I know the hardship of every single soul and also know how I can alleviate it. But I need you, My servants, for this, because I cannot address every person Myself, because you shall serve Me as mediators who have access to those and who prefer to be listened to and who therefore will also experience the blessing from My word. And thus I admonish you again and again to work diligently in the vineyard, because not much time remains for all of you until the end. And every word you impart to your fellow human beings will work as strength, and where My strength can radiate there will also be no downfall, for people will then also make contact with Me if they willingly listen to you and thus allow themselves to be addressed by Me. The strength of My word will touch their souls which then turn towards Me and let themselves be seized by Me. And then the soul can no longer get lost, it will turn to Me in its adversity and I will rescue it from danger, I will snatch it back from the abyss, I will help it to ascend and it will be saved for eternity ...._>Amen

Commandments of love .... Faith ....

B.D. 7621 from June 14th 1960, taken from Book No. 80

Again and again the divine commandments of love are held up to you, again and again the divine teaching of love is proclaimed to you, and again and again you are admonished to lead a life of love, for that is the purpose and aim of your existence on earth. But how does it look in the world? Where can unselfish neighbourly love still be recognized among people? Everyone only thinks of himself, selfish love is predominant and people do not remember God's commandments .... love has grown cold amongst people .... and this is a sure sign of the approaching end, because unkindness is the evidence that another person rules, that people have fallen prey to him and that everything has left the divine order, whose fundamental principle is love. And where there is no more love God, Who is Eternal Love Himself, will also be eliminated .... where there is no love there will also be no faith in God and therefore also not in the divine redeemer Jesus Christ, in Whom God embodied Himself in order to redeem people .... And where this faith is lacking there is only ruin and destruction. For the prince of darkness reigns there, to whom people who live without faith in Jesus Christ have fallen prey. And he drags humanity down into his kingdom, he prevents every spiritual upward development for the purpose of which the human being lives on earth .... But God's love does not stop wooing people's love. Again and again God addresses people, again and again He fatefully approaches them and wants to win their love .... Again and again people are made aware of their fellow human being's adversity, which should and can cause them to ignite their love, to intervene helpfully and to urge the love in them to continue their work .... But God no longer finds much reciprocation of His love, and time comes to an end because people themselves create the conditions through their lack of love. And yet, again and again they will be taught love, again and again messengers of God will proclaim His Gospel; they will preach God's love which never ends and which the human being should strive to acquire, which will fill him with happiness and save him from darkness. Again and again the word of God will be brought to people, for God courts every person's soul until the end, He will not give up anyone before the end has come, He touches all human hearts and seeks to kindle the flame of love in them .... For it is still a time of grace and He will still pour out His blessings on humanity in abundance. And everyone can make use of them, everyone can receive unmeasured graces and use them for the salvation of his soul .... But he must fulfil the divine commandments of love, for he can only become blissfully happy through love alone. And again and again opportunities will be created for him where he can be active in love. And every person is capable of doing so, because the spark of love is placed in every person's heart, which can therefore flare up if the person wants it, if he listens to what God's messengers tell him, if he remembers his soul and wants to help it to reach the right aim. Yet the human being's will is free and very weakened by the influence of God's adversary. But one can strengthen it .... And therefore faith in Him is indispensable, and this faith only comes alive through love .... And therein lies people's great spiritual hardship, that they lack faith and love. And therefore love has to be emphasized again and again as the most urgent matter, and anyone who listens to God's messengers and is of good will will also obey God's commandments, and he will attain faith in God Who redeemed humanity from sin and death in Jesus Christ .... And this one will be saved from destruction ...._>Amen

Following Jesus .... Patiently bearing the cross ....

B.D. 7622 from June 15th 1960, taken from Book No. 80

You demonstrate that you follow Me when you patiently accept the suffering which My love places upon you so that your souls will mature. Always remember that I requested you to follow Me with the Words ' .... let him take up his cross and follow Me ....' I certainly want to help you carry your cross but you should not try to throw it away completely, you should always consider that you can remove many impurities from your soul if you patiently carry your cross. I will always give you the strength for it if you ask Me, for I Am always close to you if you live in My discipleship on earth. And you don't have much time left .... Therefore you will have to endure increased suffering because I want to help you attain a degree of light while you are still on earth which will enable you to enter into beatitude when your end has come. But always remain in contact with Me through loving activity, prayer and constant thinking of Me, for then I will always be able to be close to you and you can safely follow your path even if you have to carry a small cross. However, a steady life in carefree tranquillity would not be beneficial for you unless you were so extraordinarily lovingly active that your soul's process of maturing would be successfully accomplished .... But you are all still too half-hearted in your kind-hearted actions and therefore gain too little for your soul, and thus the suffering must contribute towards your purification process. And always remember the terrible suffering I have taken upon Myself on your behalf .... You yourselves would have had to endure this suffering on account of your guilt of sin and you would have been incapable of doing so. This is why I accepted the guilt on your behalf and suffered indescribably because I love you and wanted to endure the suffering on your behalf. Then your cross will seem small to you, you will gladly carry it because you want to follow Me, and you will safely enter through the gate into the kingdom of light because I pave the way and open the gate for you so that you will be blissfully happy. Accept your cross, that is, patiently and for love of Me carry all suffering which burdens you, but which is needed for your maturity of soul, for one day the soul may take pleasure in the light, one day the cross it had to carry will seem an easy one. Let Me walk by your side, then I will help you carry and you will not feel the burden so much. And I Am with every person who calls upon Me in thought, I only wait for this call because I cannot take effect in you against your will despite My love for you. But I will never leave you alone and even the cross placed upon you is proof of My presence, because I thereby gently admonish you to follow Me, Who took all of humanity's suffering upon My shoulders and walked the path to the cross with it. Therefore be patient, no matter what weighs you down, My love will strengthen you, My love will relieve you from the cross when the time is right ....

Amen

Activity of the beings of light .... Spreading the truth ....

B.D. 7623 from June 16th 1960, taken from Book No. 80

In the spiritual world there are the kingdoms of light and darkness .... For the spirits' apostasy from Me created the kingdom of darkness, whereas previously everything was light and there was only beatitude for the beings. And the bliss consisted of the flooding of all beings with light, for light constantly emanates from Me as the original source of light, and every being was permeated by My divine light of love. When, as a result of the spiritual being's apostasy from Me, it also rejected the light of love because the spiritual being closed itself to this radiation, it fell into a state of darkness, it lost all realisation, the beings' thinking became confused and the darkness became ever more dense the further they strove away from Me, the stronger their resistance to Me and My illumination of love became .... The kingdom of darkness arose which encompassed all those beings who had thus turned away from Me of their own will, who could no longer be enlightened by Me because they were in resistance to Me and thus also outside My circle of love .... And this kingdom of darkness will exist as long as there are still unredeemed spiritual beings, because darkness is simply the state of being distant from God, because there can be no light outside of Me, Who is the original light from eternity .... As soon as a being has found its way back to Me again, as soon as its will turns towards Me and has striven for and attained the former perfection, it will also find itself in the kingdom of light again, for it has entered My circle of love again and allows itself to be permeated by My strength of love as it once was .... And then it is also blissful again, as it was in the beginning. It is in the light, i.e. in fullest realisation, it knows everything, it knows all correlations, it knows its destiny, My will and now also seeks to comply with My will in everything, because it has entered My will itself through its approach to Me .... thus it can no longer act other than in My will. Then it will also be active as My co-worker itself, then it will pass on the light which now constantly flows into the being through Me, for it sees in it a delightful activity, it sees in it its task to bring light into the darkness in order to also help the being in darkness to bring it redemption from its torment. For the being suffers from darkness, even if it has voluntarily thrown itself into it, yet its original state was light, and only then can it feel bliss again when the divine light of love shines through it again. The light can now shine dimly and it can shine super-brightly, i.e. I can only illuminate a being dimly if its degree of love and maturity is not yet very high .... However, I can also grace it with the highest abundance of light, according to its maturity .... but light remains light .... Anyone who has once received light, who is once again struck by My transmigration of love, will also attain a certain realisation, and this will and must correspond to the truth, because My transmigration of light of love is nothing other than placing the being into a state of light in which it attains the right realisation .... thus false knowledge could never be imparted to it through My illumination. For wrong knowledge is darkness of spirit, but then one cannot speak of a spirit of light if it is still in the state of darkness. Hence a being of light can never pass on wrong spiritual knowledge, only its realisation can still be limited .... which, however, excludes the fact that such a being seeks to spread something untrue, instead, it then restrains itself, for it only ever transmits light from Me to where there is still darkness. It will then do so to a limited extent but never give itself away to pass on knowledge which does not correspond to the truth. Thus untruth will never be conveyed to earth by a being of light, but beings of darkness can disguise themselves as beings of light, and then caution is always advised. But you can recognize these beings as soon as they convey untrue teachings to earth. You only need to pay attention to what they proclaim to you and how the transmission to earth happens. Every being of light will want to convey the knowledge of Jesus Christ and His act of salvation into the darkness, for salvation through Him is what people should strive for during their earthly life .... And finding this redemption is their earthly life task .... For it then transfers the being into the state of light again .... Every being of light only ever fulfils My will, and thus it also has to proclaim according to My will if it wants to be active as My messenger. And My will is only ever that you find salvation through Jesus Christ during your earthly life. Therefore, anyone who proclaims on My behalf is also qualified to do so as a bearer of light, that is, his degree of light is so high that he has fullest realisation and cannot convey any error. Anyone who has not yet reached this degree will not be allowed to teach in such a way that people on earth receive instructions through the spirit .... And you should check whether the 'working of the spirit' underlies the conveyances which reach people from the spiritual kingdom, for then the same truth will and must always be the evidence that My spirit is at work. If contradictions can be ascertained, then caution is also advised, because unspirits can easily intervene if a person declares himself willing to be a medium who cannot yet demonstrate the degree of maturity which allows My spirit to 'work' in him. And often teachings are spread through such mediums which are completely erroneous and therefore require an awakened spirit in order to be exposed as error. For Jesus Christ's act of salvation is invalidated by such teachings which try to make credible a repeated life on earth as a human being, which can arbitrarily be put back again and again until the human being's final perfection. For such teachings belittle the significance of the divine act of salvation and can therefore also be recognized as misguided teachings by anyone who seriously strives for truth. A spirit of light will never convey such a teaching to earth because it does not correspond to truth, because a soul of light only teaches according to My will and everything it imparts to other beings is only ever the pure truth from Me, for it is permeated by My light of love and cannot pass on anything but truth. And a spirit of light is also only admitted to instruct people when it stands in brightest realisation .... when it receives My flow of love-power .... My divine word .... through him and thus he only announces to people what I Myself want to announce to them ...._>Amen

Countless evidence of God ....

B.D. 7624 from June 17th 1960, taken from Book No. 80

I make it easy for you to believe, if only you wanted to, for I furnish you with such obvious evidence of Myself and My working so that you would easily be able to recognise Me and consequently could also gain a convinced faith. I give evidence of Myself through creation, through everything surrounding you .... And I give evidence of Myself through My Word which rings out to you from above and is conveyed to people who are willing to believe .... For the will to do so must be present first, then the human being will also be able to believe. The will to believe opens his eyes, ears and heart .... and he will be able to see, hear or perceive countless pieces of evidence of My existence, because I will reveal Myself to a human being of good will .... because I will come close and make Myself known to him. Hence no person can say that it is impossible for him to believe .... but it is merely a lack of willingness, and no human being can be compelled. In that case his will is still utterly opposed to Me, for the denial of a Deity is proof that the person is still totally entrenched in the original sin, that he has not abandoned his past opposition to Me, and then his will cannot be forcibly broken either.

Even so, I constantly try to attract his will during his earthly life by repeatedly revealing Myself to him in the most diverse ways, so that he can always recognise Me by merely changing his will. Faith in Me can be gained by every person, because he lives in the midst of My creation and the works of nature frequently affect him, which he only needs to think about. Admittedly, an opposing will always tries to find different explanations about the miracles of creation rather than the existence of a spiritually tangible Creator of eternity; yet as soon as his own will becomes less important other thoughts will be able to arise in him and he can consider it possible for a higher Power to be the Originator and Controller .... And I will always endeavour to influence the human being such that he can achieve this realisation.

During the last days before the end faith will continue to dwindle, and even My revelation will not achieve very much, precisely because of people's will, which cannot be coerced. However, I will not stop speaking to people from above, because My Word has the strength to change a person's thinking if he allows it to take effect in him. For it does happen, albeit only rarely, that complete unbelievers hear or read My Word and feel touched by it. However, every soul is important to Me and I will not slow down trying to attract each individual soul. And by way of fate I also cross the path of people who do not want to believe, by allowing them to meet with serious difficulties so that they can turn to an overwhelmingly powerful Being with an appeal for help .... Yet I must always grant complete freedom to their will and therefore I can only ever aim to influence this will, which indeed will be done by My love and mercy for as long as the human being lives on earth ....

Amen

God's justice demands atonement ....

B.D. 7625 from June 18th 1960, taken from Book No. 80

Every injustice has to be atoned for by the sinner .... This is demanded by My justice. And this sin has to be removed on earth or in the beyond and when a soul, burdened by sins it had committed on earth, enters the spiritual kingdom, it can take an infinitely long time until it has removed this guilt of sin .... Yet it is unable to make

Amends for the original sin of the past apostasy from Me in the kingdom of the beyond, because the original sin is too great for the being to remove it itself, whether on earth or in the spiritual kingdom. Nevertheless, even a soul still burdened by the original sin is demanded to make

Amends for sins it had committed on earth, and for these alone it might have to endure an unspeakably difficult and agonising fate, because My justice demands compensation for every sin.

Yet My infinite love has taken pity on all sinners .... it has redeemed the guilt of sin, it has made reparations for it, it accomplished the act of Salvation on behalf of sin-burdened humanity, and it also paid for the original sin, so that the souls will be able to enter the spiritual kingdom truly redeemed when they have to leave the physical body. I have made the atonement Myself in the human being Jesus through My bitter suffering and dying on the cross, through an act of compassion which only love was able to accomplish. And thus even the greatest sinner can be released from his sin and enter the kingdom of light, provided he accepts Salvation .... provided he voluntarily approaches Me in Jesus Christ and for the sake of the crucifixion appeals to Me for forgiveness .... Yet this path to the cross has to be taken in free will, otherwise the human being places himself outside the act of Salvation, otherwise he does not belong to those for whom My blood was shed as atonement for humanity's guilt of sin.

You will only be able to appreciate the great importance of the act of Salvation if you consider that it depends on you yourselves as to what kind of fate you will sooner or later experience in eternity .... if you imagine that immeasurable suffering will await you because you have sinned and do not accept the mercy of Jesus Christ Who wants to release you from your guilt of sin .... if you consider that you yourselves will not even be able to redeem your immense sin within an eternity and will therefore have to linger in unspeakable torment and darkness for eternities .... And, if you consider that you can also be released from your own guilt by just handing yourselves over to Me in Jesus Christ .... if you walk with your guilt of sin to the cross and appeal to Me in Jesus for forgiveness. You have to answer for every sin and make

Amends, and you all have sinned in your earthly life ....

But you all can also find forgiveness; you can become free from your guilt and enter redeemed into the kingdom of bliss by just turning to Jesus Christ, to the divine Redeemer, Who has served Me Myself as a cover, because My love wanted to accomplish the act of Salvation for you humans and this could only take place in the external shape of a human being, Who took all sins upon himself, Who suffered and died as a human being and Who shed His blood out of love in order to help His fellow human beings and release them from spiritual adversity. You need only direct your path to Him, you need only entrust yourselves to Him in your spiritual hardship, confess your sins to Him and ask Him that He might also have shed His blood on your behalf, so that you will be released from you guilt of sin, so that you will be able to enter the spiritual kingdom when the day of passing away from this earth has come for you ....

And He will accept you, He will wipe out your guilt of sin, for He has satisfied My justice .... He has endured the suffering and pain which you should have endured and which you cannot be spared if you leave the earth unredeemed, without Jesus Christ .... Admittedly, you will still be able to call upon and find Him in the kingdom of the beyond, and even then you can still be redeemed, but the path is long and difficult and you often lack the will to do so .... Yet without Jesus Christ the gate to the kingdom of light remains locked for you, without Jesus Christ you will never be able to become blessed ....

Amen

Increased work of God in the end time ....

B.D. 7626 from June 19th 1960, taken from Book No. 80

At a time when God's adversary is in control it is particularly understandable that God Himself comes to people's aid because otherwise you would succumb to him, even if you are of good will. For His power is great in the last days before the end, for He knows that He does not have much time left and fights with all means to achieve victory because He believes that He can overthrow God and wants to rise above Him. This is why God's activity is extraordinary and people can confidently live through this last time without having to suffer damage to their souls, because God will pour out grace in equal measure and everyone who does not want to fall into the adversary's hands will feel this influx of grace. The adversary cannot oppose the human being's will; and if he turns to God, the human being himself already repels the adversary, and he also has the strength to do so because God knows every person's will and then also provides him with the strength to resist the adversary. Therefore, the human being does not need to fear the increased activity of God's adversary if he only wants to belong to God himself ..... For the adversary has no power over this person. And he will also recognize that God's love constantly surrounds him, for the bestowals of grace will be obvious to him, he will feel God's hand and take hold of it and allow himself to be guided by Him .... And truly, the nearness of God will displace the enemy, and God will be close to everyone who wants to take hold of His hand .... Yet the adversary will reap great rewards among the children of the world, for it will become easy for him to deprive those of their faith in God, and then he will also have control over people who no longer have any protection and have mercilessly fallen prey to him. There is great spiritual hardship amongst people because they cling to the world and do not turn their thoughts to God so that He can take hold of them, so that He can snatch them from the hands of the enemy. But God's adversary has the same right to wrestle for people's souls, yet it is up to the human being himself whether God or His adversary wins the battle, for the human being himself can choose his Lord whom he wants to follow. And God therefore reveals Himself to people in many ways so that He can be recognized if the human being wants to recognize Him .... But the will is free. And thus the direct supply of His word, God's most obvious evidence of grace, can be a very clear revelation of God for one person, whereas it leaves the other completely untouched because his will is still completely turned away from God. But it is an extremely effective means of grace that the human being can learn to recognize and love God, and it is truly a clear counteraction, it is an activity against the raging of God's adversary, which becomes clearly recognisable in the last days before the end. For God comes to the aid of all people in this time because they alone are too weak to resist it .... God helps people to recognize him when he disguises himself and appears as an angel of light in order to seduce people .... God does not leave them without help in their spiritual adversity, for He wants you to become blessed, He wants you to be victorious in the battle of faith on earth .... He wants you to find Him and then also be eternally saved ...._>Amen

Unification .... Blissfulness of the images of God ....

B.D. 7627 from June 20th 1960, taken from Book No. 80

The final aim of your earthly life is the union with Me .... You should have found unification with Me by the time the hour of your death approaches, you should pass over into the other realm without fear and dread, you should only change your abode and move into your parental home which you had left eternities ago .... You should have found your way home to Me and be happy again, as you were in the beginning. This is the purpose and goal of your earthly life, and to arrive at this goal should be your constant ambition, since it is achievable for you. I Am not demanding the impossible from you. You are My children, you came from Me and it has to be your natural ambition to return to the Father, because your Father’s love draws you and because, after all, you were originally created in My image .... The unity with Me, therefore, has to be more in accordance with your whole being than the distance .... For this reason you have never been happy being so far away, and you cannot be happy again until we have been united, because being united with Me also means being enlightened by My love again, which is equal to unimaginable bliss. You are My creations and belong irrevocably to Me ....

You deserted Me due to your misguided will and misguided thinking .... But as soon as your will and thought are in the right order once more you will also look for unification with Me, you will do everything to decrease the previous distance and indeed succeed during your earthly life because I long for this unification Myself and therefore will help you too .... because My love pulls you and you cannot resist this love when you have accepted the right order again ....

And you can expect a truly marvellous fate indeed when you have united with Me .... The realm of light is once again open to you, you can work in strength, light and freedom in accordance with your will which, however, is also My will .... You will be able to enjoy the kind of pleasures you have never dreamt of .... you will see and hear what your eyes and ears have never seen and heard on earth for I have prepared immeasurable happiness for those who are Mine, who love Me and therefore have united with Me forever. Because love embraces Father and child with a heartfelt bond .... love, which should be kindled within you during your earthly life and which then radiates through the human heart, establishes a connection with Me as Eternal love .... the human being can then accept his original essence again and becomes what I Myself have eternally been: love ....

And thus the human being who has transformed himself into love once again has to be inseparably joined to Me, he has to be enlightened by My love as he was in the beginning, he has to be so close to Me that we are completely merged by love, and therefore his return to Me must have occurred, which was always the purpose and goal of his earthly life .... And this relationship can no longer lead to a return to the abyss .... The being has passed its test of volition, it has transformed itself from ‘God’s living creation’ into ‘God’s child’, it has achieved perfection on earth, it has regained all qualities and abilities which it once had renounced due to its desertion from Me .... And I have achieved My goal .... My eternal plan of salvation has been successfully completed by that being, i.e. what I could not ‘create’ has nevertheless been achieved by this plan of salvation: God-like beings .... Children, whose own free will and not My omnipotence, has turned them into perfected beings .... Only now have I proper ‘children’ who are My images in every way .... who can create and work by My side and within My will and yet use their own will which, however, completely corresponds to Mine because this is intrinsic to perfection.

You humans can achieve this goal because I Myself long for the unification with you and truly will do everything to guide you to the goal if your will submits to mine .... if you willingly accept My guidance, if you fully and consciously strive for unification with Me and live in love on earth .... Then every gesture of love shall bring you closer to Me, then you will allow My presence within you, and then union has to follow because ‘whoever lives in love lives in Me and I in him ....’ Consequently, love is the bond that locks us together and then is eternally inseparable ....

Amen

Communion with the host ....

B.D. 7628 from June 21st 1960, taken from Book No. 80

I feed you with the bread from the heavens, I water you with the water of life .... I bring you My word .... And whenever I speak to you, whenever you receive My word and willingly listen to it and let it work on your hearts, you take supper with Me, you come to My table and let yourselves be fed and watered by Me as your Host, Who has invited you to take supper with Him .... this is a process so powerful that you cannot grasp its effect .... you accept My word which flows towards you as an expression of My love, which gives you evidence of My presence, which proves to you the bond between Me and you and which is therefore the most delicious thing you can be offered by Me on earth. If you hear My word then you have accepted My invitation which I address to all people, for you shall all take supper with Me, you shall all come to My table and let yourselves be fed and watered by Me .... But only a few accept My invitation and receive the right food and drink for their souls. However, I alone know what your soul needs in order to mature on this earth, and I alone can give it what it needs. It can only receive the right nourishment from My hands, which I Myself have prepared for it and want to supply to it without restriction, so that it will reach its aim while still on earth, so that one day it can be blissfully happy in My kingdom, which is not of this world. For this reason it will also be offered nourishment from My kingdom, light and strength will flow to it through My word, the soul will be provided with spiritual nourishment, and this signifies My word for it .... And when My word flows to you, directly or also indirectly through My messengers, I am therefore ready to hand out the nourishment for your souls .... I am ready to take supper with you, to offer you bread to satisfy you and to refresh you with fresh living water so that you can continue your pilgrimage on earth invigorated, so that again and again you draw the strength you need for this pilgrimage. And I call everyone to Me, I come close to everyone with My word .... I call My guests from the street to My table, because they all cannot progress if they have not received strong nourishment from Me for their souls .... For the souls are weak or sick and need strong food, they need good medicine. And since I know about all conditions of the body and the soul I will also always come to help in such a way as serves the body or the soul best .... But a weak or sick soul suffers from hunger and thirst, and therefore I administer food and drink to it, for I want it to become healthy, to become strong and resistant to the enemy's attacks, which will never cease as long as you walk the earth. And therefore you should listen to My call, you should not reject My servants when they invite you to take supper with Me at My table; you should voluntarily follow them and let yourselves be entertained by Me, you should let yourselves be addressed by Me and thus accept My word which is the best nourishment for your soul, which is evidence of My love which I want to bestow upon you always and forever .... And therefore I want to be united with you .... I want you to come to Me and stay with Me, that you constantly desire to hear Me, that My word resounds within you and that you are aware of My presence .... Then you will also constantly be My guests, you will gratefully receive the gifts from My hands which My love offers you .... I will be able to feed you with the bread from the heavens and water you with the water of life .... You will never ever need to starve, because Eternal Love Itself is your host and wants to remain so for all eternity ...._>Amen

Sincere desire for truth guarantees truth ....

B.D. 7629 from June 22nd 1960, taken from Book No. 80

Understand that it only requires a sincere desire for truth in order to be able to receive it .... Yet this sincere desire is rarely to be found, even though every person claims to strive for truth. But this, too, is just something people say without spending any thought on it, given that the desire for truth ought to arise from deep within the heart and not leave the person again .... he should dread nothing more than falling prey to error, and therefore he has to approach Me in his heart and appeal to Me to impart the truth to him. And it will be given to him .... If, however, the human being has received knowledge and holds on to this knowledge without ever having checked that it is true, then it will also be difficult to offer him the truth if it does not correspond to his knowledge, for he will refuse to let go of his knowledge in exchange for the pure truth .... In that case he lacks the inner desire for truth, and he will also be incapable of examining it because he fails to make contact with Me, because he fails to appeal to Me for spiritual enlightenment in order to be able to form a correct opinion. This is why it is not always possible to convey the pure truth to earth, this is why so much spiritual information is assumed to be true although it cannot lay claim to it. And yet it is endorsed as truth .... especially if it originated from the spiritual kingdom, if people believe that they definitely have received the truth. But since the recipient's sincere desire is a prerequisite for the conveyance of truth, the 'origin from the spiritual kingdom' does not always guarantee the truth of what is transmitted to earth .... rather, it necessitates serious examination. And this has to be conducted with Me, with My support.

For the spiritual kingdom also shelters beings of darkness or imperfect beings which still uphold the incorrect knowledge they have taken across from earth and which they just as eagerly endorse in the kingdom of the beyond as they have done on earth. The human being is unable to detach himself from what he loves even in the spiritual kingdom. And that is significant for his process of development, since it can last eternities until such a soul has liberated itself, until it finally starts to accept the truth. But it can influence people in the spiritual kingdom detrimentally if it finds willing people to whom it can mentally transmit wrong information or through statements made to people who consider themselves mediums who consciously establish contact from earth to the spiritual kingdom. Such contact can and will only be beneficial if the human being is governed by the sincere desire for truth and always appeals for support through My spirit .... Then there will be no risk, then the person will build a firm wall around himself which ignorant beings cannot overstep and only the world of light will have access to him, which will truly only impart the truth from Me because it works on My instructions and because it is My will that you shall be taught the pure truth ....

And everyone should examine himself as to what extent he wants the truth .... He shall fear error and always pray to Me for protection from it and his appeal will be granted, for I Myself want you humans to live in truth; I Myself want you to receive it, hence I will also provide you with the opportunity, always assuming that the same will for truth is inherent in you which is your certain protection from misguided spiritual information, from erroneous thinking and wrong interpretation of what you are offered. For the truth-desiring human being will also have the right power of judgment, because I convey it to him at the same time as the truth and therefore he is also able to examine the value of the spiritual information. I Myself Am the Truth, I Myself want to enter into contact with My living creations and thus I also want My living creations to live in truth .... And I will protect them from the influence of beings which try to spread error and disguise themselves as beings of light in order to deceive you into becoming victims of misconceptions. The close bond with Me also guarantees correct thinking, correct instruction, it guarantees you the transmission of truth through the spirit .... For the spiritual spark inside of you is part of Me, and it will truly instruct you correctly .... You should all endeavour to be directly taught by your spirit so that you won't need to abide by transmissions from the spiritual world which you cannot verify because you don't know the spiritual state of those who receive such channelled messages .... for there is always a great danger of interference by beings who lack realisation .... But wherever My spirit is at work you will know that I speak to you Myself and that I really impart the truth to you because I want My living creations on earth to live in truth .... because only through truth can they attain Me and therefore also bliss ....

Amen

The final work of destruction ....

B.D. 7630 from June 23rd 1960, taken from Book No. 80

The final work of destruction will be caused by people's own will, nevertheless, I shall not hamper this will .... firstly, because it is free and shall also have to justify itself, and secondly, because I based My plan of Salvation on this free will in a way that it will benefit the continued development of the spiritual beings .... I truly do not determine people's wrong inclinations and actions; I only let them have absolute freedom which they, however, misuse by interfering in the laws of nature, by experimenting with forces which they cannot fully control as yet and whose effects they therefore don't know. But it is their fault that they conduct experiments for the wrong reasons, that they are not motivated by thoughts of love to carry out their intentions .... And for this reason their guilt will have such terrible consequences .... For it will result in an act of destruction to which everything living in, on and above the earth will fall prey .... For although the planet as such will remain the entire surface of earth will nevertheless become changed, and that will also mean the destruction of all life and all works of creation on this earth which constrained spiritual substances. And thus, these spirits will receive their freedom for the time being, they will be able to escape from their form regardless of the degree of maturity they had reached. But they will not keep this freedom .... For they will have to continue their path of development and therefore will be placed into new forms. And in order to make it possible for the spiritual substances still bound in the creations to continue with their development I shall allow the wrong will of people who will cause this work of destruction, but the human race itself will perish as a result of this wrong will, for only My Own will survive the final destruction, and there will only be a few ....

The majority of people, however, are already so distant from Me that their spiritual fate is already decided, for they have reached the lowest point which excludes further development on this earth .... On account of their profane state they will give rise to the end of the old earth, and thus it will come to pass as people want it themselves: everything will be changed yet only in line with My eternal law of order .... People will indeed initiate it, yet I Myself will determine or direct the consequences according to My eternal plan of Salvation, which was based on people's wrong will so that all wrong thinking shall nevertheless still yield right results .... For I will direct the consequences according to My will, admittedly it doesn't correspond to people's will but it serves the spirits' continued development. And that is My plan, of which I inform you time and again so that each one of you can shape himself according to this plan while there is still time, for each one of you can still belong to those who will be saved at the end .... each person can still shape his nature such that he will belong to 'My Own' .... But he must believe and live a life of love, he must turn his will to Me, and I will accept him and grant him the strength to achieve the work of transformation on himself .... Then he need not fear the end either, regardless of how threatening world events seem to evolve .... I protect My Own in every adversity and danger, I help them in an earthly and spiritual way, for My Own shall become strong in faith and therefore noticeably experience My help .... And time and again I announce this to you humans so that you can prepare yourselves if only you are of good will to live in order to please Me .... For the end will come without fail because the time granted to you is over ....

Amen

The work of satan .... Help through Jesus Christ ....

B.D. 7631 from June 24th 1960, taken from Book No. 80

In the epoch when God walked across earth in Jesus Satan raged particularly fiercely amongst people, for since Jesus' crucifixion many souls have been lost to him and he still hopes to win them back because he wants to arrogate to himself dominion over everything and thus also over the spirit world which had emerged from his will and God's strength. And he also believes he can win back those who have already found union with God because he believes he can once again exert his influence on these beings as he did in the beginning with the apostasy of the spirits. And that is why his rage is particularly strong in the last days on earth, that is why he uses all conceivable means to assert himself and to snatch human souls from God which have already turned to Him of their own free will. But his degree of realisation is so low that he does not realize the impossibility of his plan, for he is blinded in spirit and will never attain enlightened realisation as long as he is still active as God's adversary, as long as he has not returned to the father's house himself. But this is why people also have to expect unusual grants of grace in order to be able to withstand his onslaught. And God, in His love for the unredeemed, will help him until the end so that people can resist him if they are willing to do so. But you humans can certainly reckon with the fact that a hard battle will still take place before the end, for the adversary's time has not yet expired where he can work, because he is entitled to also fight for the souls which once followed him into the abyss. And therefore you humans should also know about the process in the kingdom of the spirits which explains your existence as a human being on earth .... you should know that increased demands will be placed on you in the last days but that you will also be able to liberate yourselves completely from its control and that your freedom is therefore well worth the struggle, for freedom will then also guarantee you light and strength and bliss .... You should know why the last days will be so difficult for you humans and what causes underlie this phenomenon .... And you should resist because thereby you will attain beatitude in the spiritual kingdom or in the paradise of the new earth, where you will be compensated for all hardship and tribulations you still have to endure until the end of the old earth. But you always have protection and a shield, a helper in greatest need .... you have Jesus Christ, to Whom you need only call when danger threatens you .... Who will never leave you without help, Who will never ignore your prayer to Him .... Who will always stand by you because you now call upon God Himself in Jesus Christ, Who redeemed you from sin and death .... He walked across the earth, He opposed God's adversary with His resistance, He redeemed the guilt of sin for you, He paid the purchase price for all of you with His blood, and thus you are free from your adversary if you want this and take refuge in Jesus Christ, thus acknowledge His act of salvation. Then he may rage as much as he likes and use all his arts of seduction .... he will not be successful with you who hold on to Jesus Christ, for you will be able to receive grace without measure, your will and your love will be strengthened and you will be able to free yourselves from the chains which God's adversary once threw over you .... Jesus Christ Himself will set you free if only you have the will to follow Him. And you will receive strength until the end in order to be able to persevere, for the strength from God is certain to all who are His and want to remain for all eternity ...._>Amen

'I am the way, the truth and the life .... '

B.D. 7632 from June 25th 1960, taken from Book No. 80

I will show you the way you should go during your life on earth .... I Myself am the way, the truth and the life .... He who listens to Me treads the path, he is guided into truth and he attains eternal life .... Whoever listens to Me will also obey what I advise him, what I demand of him, and he will then go the way of love, which irrevocably leads to Me, Who am the Eternal Love .... And thus he returns to Me again, from Whom he once started. He has completed his path of development, and he has returned home to the father's house, he is with his father, as it was in the beginning, and he will work and create with Him, as it is his destiny. So I Myself am the way .... these words I spoke to the people when I walked on earth, and I asked them to follow Me. My way was exceedingly sorrowful, but the love in Me let Me go it ..... And so you should always remain in love for Me and for your neighbor, and you should also bear the suffering patiently, always remembering My way of the cross, which was so immeasurably difficult because I took the guilt of the whole of humanity on My shoulders to carry it under the cross .... I had to go this way of the cross, because I wanted to suffer for the fellow human beings who were My brothers and who, through their fall into the depths, had loaded heavy guilt onto themselves, which they would never have been able to redeem. I took pity on the state of the people, because it was wretched, and they could never have reached bliss, if I had not taken care of them. Love determined Me to all thinking and acting, and love brought the redemption sacrifice for the people .... And if I therefore call Myself the way, then your way must also be a way of love, you too must accept your fellow human beings in every adversity of body and soul, you too must be prepared to make sacrifices, your being must be filled with love, then you will go the same way that I have gone, and then you will also reach the truth and eternal life .... I Myself am the way, the truth and the life .... If you humans acknowledge Me as the divine redeemer Jesus Christ, in Whom I Myself offered the sacrifice on the cross for all people, then you are also on the right path, you will receive the truth from Me and attain beatitude, because only the pure truth can awaken you to life, And then this will always be a life of bliss, because only the right life can be given to you by Me, which means the permeation of My strength of love, which makes the being incomparably happy, which therefore has taken the right path that leads to Me, back into the father's house. And therefore I show you the right way, I instruct you that only love leads to happiness, that only love guarantees you truth and that only love gives life to the soul, which it then also never ever loses. Because then also the union with Me is secured, which is the aim and purpose of earth life .... Then the being .... the soul .... has changed again to love, and it has entered its original state, it is blissful again as it was in the beginning ...._>Amen

Distress and help of souls in the hereafter ....

B.D. 7633 from June 26th 1960, taken from Book No. 80

You are offered everything that is helpful for the maturing of the souls. For you only stay on this earth for the purpose that the soul matures, that it spiritualizes itself, that it becomes able to enter the kingdom of light when it departs from this earth. And the time of your earthly life has been granted to you for this maturing, or it is also the last time of your embodiment on earth, when your soul as a human being still has the possibility to become free of all external form and to be able to enter eternity as a free spirit. For it can also leave its body and still be bound, it cannot yet have regained its spiritual freedom if it has not properly evaluated earthly life. But then it is also deprived of the possibility of ever becoming free in the kingdom of the beyond through its own strength, for it no longer possesses this strength because it loses its vitality upon the death of the body and could not take over spiritual strength because it failed to acquire it on earth. And then such a soul is in a bad way, for it is dependent on the help of the beings of light or on loving intercession, yet in such a way that its will remains free and is rarely directed differently than it was on earth .... that the beings of light experience rejection, just as on earth every person experienced rejection who wanted to instruct the soul in a favourable way. And then only intercession remains for the soul .... And it can praise itself happily when good thoughts follow it into the spiritual kingdom, when loving fellow human beings take care of it and intercede with God for such poor souls .... For they will experience the strength of love which comes to them through this prayer, and the strength of love is often able to change the soul's thinking, the strength of love is able to give it a small light which illuminates its long path in the kingdom of the beyond. But the souls which have acquired little love on earth are in a bad way .... which are followed by few good thoughts and are still too immature to order their thoughts themselves and to ask for help .... The souls may in no way be forced to change their will, they can only be influenced and must now voluntarily surrender themselves to this influence, then their state can slowly experience an improvement, and then they will also show themselves to be more open to the light beings' efforts and accept their teachings. This is why it can often take eternal times until a soul awakens from its night, until it longs for light and strives towards the light when it temporarily shines upon it. For God does not leave a soul in its misery forever, yet He always leaves it the freedom of will, otherwise there would truly no longer be an unredeemed soul on earth and also in the kingdom of the beyond. For the soul must have found redemption through Jesus Christ .... And if it does not find this on earth it has to seek and find Him in the spiritual kingdom. And this often requires long instructions until it has found faith in the divine redeemer and calls upon Him for help .... But then its redemption is also assured, then it will inexorably take the path of ascent in the spiritual kingdom, for then it will have handed itself over to the One Who died on the cross in order to redeem people .... But the time of the earthly change as a human being is intended to bring redemption to the soul. It shall find Jesus Christ in earthly life as a human being, it shall hand over its guilt to Him while still on earth and sincerely appeal to Him to release it from all guilt for the sake of His blood, which He paid as the purchase price for all souls that once fell and once walk across earth to test their will in order to gain the last maturity of soul. And it can consider itself fortunate if it has found the divine redeemer Jesus Christ before the death of its body .... Then it will truly be able to enter the kingdom of the beyond redeemed, then no darkness will surround it, it will no longer need to endure suffering and torment, it will be free from every bondage and allowed to be blissfully happy in light and strength in the spiritual kingdom, in the kingdom of light, which only redeemed souls are allowed to enter and which is truly the right home of every soul, for which it should long and do everything on earth in order to be able to enter this home again when its life on earth is over. Then it will be and remain blissfully happy, then it will have properly evaluated earthly life .... then it will have become free from every bondage, and it will be blissfully happy in this freedom ...._>Amen

The true home ....

B.D. 7634 from June 27th 1960, taken from Book No. 80

The spiritual realm is certainly an entirely dissimilar region to the earthly realm and it requires a strong will to strive for the former realm while the human being still lives in the midst of the world .... They are two entirely different kingdoms and one kingdom totally seems to exclude the other. However, the more seriously a person wants to enter and stay in the spiritual kingdom, the more real it will become to him and the stronger he will feel that the spiritual kingdom is his actual home, that the earth is merely something transient which the human being simply has to pass through in order to reach his true home. But on the whole the spiritual region will seem unreal to a person and time and again he will have to fight, he will have to exert force in order to mentally escape the world for a short time and to drift over into the spiritual world. Nevertheless, he will succeed if this is his serious will. Yet one thing must be present in him: the desire for God and, as a result of this, a life of love .... In that case the human being’s soul will already be grounded in the spiritual kingdom, for the right kind of love comes from God and leads back to Him, Whose kingdom is not of this world. However, the human being must possess the right kind of love, the love for God and his fellow human beings .... As long as the human being is still dominated by selfish love, he will be more in touch with the earthly realm and a ‘spiritual’ world will seem implausible to him, this spiritual world will be distant to him and also cannot entice him to seek contact with it. Hence, the degree of love will be the decisive factor as to how real the spiritual kingdom seems to a person, to what extent it dominates him and how strongly it will influence his thoughts .... But he can become convinced of it, he can live more in the spiritual realm than in this world if his love for God and his fellow human being has been kindled in him. Then the human being will also convincingly advocate this spiritual kingdom to other people because he will be utterly convinced of it himself, and he will also always mention what he inwardly feels .... He will portray the spiritual kingdom as the only kingdom worth striving for and try to motivate his fellow human beings to likewise strive for this kingdom and to relegate the secular world as worthless into second place .... always regarding this secular world as transient and paying more attention to that which is everlasting. A person who remains in contact with the spiritual kingdom and makes it the goal of his endeavour on earth is far more likely to find inner peace .... The human being will never find complete happiness in the earthly world, for he will also discover the transience of this world and his life will remain unsatisfied if he only ever longs for earthly possessions and is content with fulfilling his earthly wishes, because his soul feels that it needs something different in order to be happy. His soul will not content itself with what the world can offer .... It will only be able to feel truly happy when it is offered possessions from the spiritual kingdom. Only then will it have entered the region of the spiritual kingdom, only then will it have found its true home, only then will it acknowledge the spiritual kingdom as its home and only then will it know that this kingdom is real and that it cannot be taken away from the soul again once it has arrived at home, once it has found its way back to the Father’s house from which it once had originated.

Amen

God's nearness means peace and love ....

B.D. 7635 from June 28th 1960, taken from Book No. 80

As long as you humans are still far away from Me you will not be at peace, no matter how abundantly you are blessed with earthly possessions. For then you will anxiously guard your possessions instead of handing them out to your fellow human beings .... which would always mean love and love would then already unite you with Me. The great distance from Me is nothing but unkindness .... and if you had love then the distance from Me would also have decreased, then you would believe in Me and make an effort to fulfil My will. Hence you lack love, and therefore you will never be able to be happy on earth either, because a loveless person is also in constant conflict with his fellow human beings and because he lacks the inner peace which only the bond with Me secures for him. To be distant from Me also means unhappiness .... You worldly people can indeed numb yourselves with earthly joys and pleasures and thus not feel so unhappy about the distance from Me, but then it will also only be a temporary numbing, but it will lack a permanent bliss which is solely based on love. Love is union with Me and therefore also bliss .... Lack of love is distance, and therefore the human being must also lack true beatitude, even if he does not want to admit it to himself. The human being who is richly blessed in earthly terms cannot therefore always be called happy unless he only regards his earthly riches as borrowed and uses them in accordance with My divine love .... He gives where there is need and tries to make people happy who suffer a lack of earthly possessions. Then his love for his neighbour will also be profound and he will prove his love for God when he helps his neighbour according to his strength. Then his earthly wealth will also be blessed, he himself will also be able to enjoy it, he will not be denied earthly pleasures which I Myself prepare for him, because he can enjoy them without harming his soul, for he remains intimately united with Me in every situation of life through his love, he has already overcome the great distance and can therefore also call earthly goods his own because he uses them correctly, i.e. in the service of neighbourly love. Hence again and again love is preached to you humans, if you want to unite with Me, if you want to lift the vast distance from Me, if you want to enjoy peace and bliss on earth already, which you can only find in unity with Me. And only love establishes this bond with Me, only love secures My presence for you, and only through love will you regain your original state which consisted of immeasurable bliss, which united you so firmly with Me that I could radiate My love through you .... Yet as long as you lack love you are also distant from Me and therefore cannot be blissfully happy either ...._>Amen

Participation of the souls in the hereafter in the transmission of the word ....

B.D. 7636 from June 29th 1960, taken from Book No. 80

You humans are illuminated by My love when you receive My word and love light and strength .... So you can also radiate light and strength again to all beings which surround you, which are attracted by the rays of light and long for light and strength. You can hand out to them what you yourselves receive .... Then you will be very successful in your vineyard work, for you will not only accept My word from Me but countless souls in the spiritual kingdom will participate in it, and they will be blissfully happy about the strength they receive, which they will feel even more than you yourselves because it has a spiritual effect and these beings can only be spiritually provided for in their adversity. My flow of love energy reaches you because you want it yourselves, because you consciously establish the connection with Me and now also give Me the opportunity to let the flow of love energy flow into your heart .... But those beings are still in darkness or in light twilight and they only wait for the flashing rays to rush to their exit .... They suffer from darkness and lack of strength and feel it that they can receive light and strength from you .... And once this has been the case they will no longer leave you and only wait for the moment when they will be beneficially touched again, which happens through the supply of My word. You humans don't know about their great hardship, yet as soon as they are willing to accept My bestowal of grace I also bestow grace upon them and I also speak to them Myself if they willingly listen to My word. And these souls will also not doubt that they are addressed by Me Myself, and they will find their way to Me, i.e. to salvation, the sooner they accept the knowledge of Jesus Christ and His act of salvation, then they will desire Him, call upon Him and appeal for His forgiveness .... Hence this knowledge is what first has to be imparted to the souls in the beyond if they don't already possess it .... And mostly the unredeemed souls are without this knowledge because they did not believe in Him on earth and because they were not imparted the right knowledge, the truth, and lacked the understanding for Jesus' great act of mercy. Thus, as soon as you humans inform them of the divine redeemer, as soon as you use every opportunity to speak or read about Him, you will also be marked by sparks of light and the souls will take part in your teachings .... Then you will be doing irreplaceable vineyard work, and you will be able to help those souls to salvation, because then they will turn to Jesus Christ themselves once they have gained knowledge of Whom they can call upon as their Saviour. For the influx of strength and light proves to them the truth of what they experience with you, and therefore they don't hesitate for long to act in accordance with My word .... Love also awakens in them and they now help those in turn whom they know to be in the same need .... they also try to bring them to you and induce them to listen to you when you receive spiritual instructions .... You have no idea how wide a circle you draw through your willingness to receive My word .... you don't know how grateful the souls are who found relief with you, who were able to receive light and strength and now also utilize them again in accordance with My will to work in love for those who are in the same need. For this is the effect of My word that it impels you into loving activity because it conveys strength and the strength from Me is expressed in works of love .... And therefore you should not let yourselves be discouraged if you have little success on earth with your vineyard work .... You don't do it in vain, and the success in the kingdom of the beyond is truly not small, for the work of redemption also continues there because many souls still have to be redeemed before the end comes, before everything spiritual is transferred again to where it belongs according to its degree of maturity ...._>Amen

Clarification regarding the working of the spirit ....

B.D. 7637 from July 1st 1960, taken from Book No. 80

If you want to be addressed through My spirit you must keep My commandments .... You must live a life of love .... For My spirit is part of Me and only speaks when the human being unites with Me through kind-hearted activity, so that his spiritual spark can be addressed by Me, by its Father-Spirit of eternity. But I promised you that I will reveal Myself to the one who loves Me and complies with My commandments .... And I keep My Word, every promise will come true providing you live up to the conditions I linked to it. In order to be able to hear Me through the voice of the spirit, you must be so closely united with Me that your spiritual spark can perceive My Word and pass it on through the heart so that you can hear what the spirit says to you. The fact that your indwelling spirit can be addressed by its Father and be understood by you is a very simple and understandable process .... but almost no-one is interested in this process .... It is rejected as the working of unclean spirits, it is even denied by those who pretend to serve Me .... It is denied because they themselves have not yet enabled My spirit to speak to them .... And they have not enabled it yet because they are lacking faith and love .... Their belief in such 'working of God in a human being' through the spirit is completely missing, and therefore the human being makes no attempt either even though it would be possible for him were love kindled in his heart .... In that case My spirit cannot express itself, for such an audible manifestation always presupposes the belief that My love for you humans is so great that it reveals itself .... People's relationship with Me must be such that I can speak to them like a Father to My child .... And a child will trust its Father completely and expect to be addressed by Me. Only then will I be able to speak and My child can hear My voice.

The 'outpouring of the spirit' has become an incomprehensible and implausible concept for people, they no longer understand what they are to make of it, otherwise they would not reject the Word you humans receive from above through My spirit, otherwise they would extremely jubilantly and with profound gratitude listen and comply with it ....

But the outpouring of the spirit cannot be proven other than that the human being shapes himself into love, that he establishes the heartfelt relationship of a child with Me and, with utmost faith and trust, patiently listens to hear My Word, because the spiritual spark in a person strives towards the Father-Spirit and thereby induces My presence in the human heart .... and My presence must always have the effect that I speak to a person with Words of love and comfort, and with Words of wisdom impart knowledge to him which only the spirit in a person can receive from the spirit of God. While living on earth I have time and again promised people that My spirit would be with them when I would no longer be amongst them .... I clearly and distinctly announced the working of My spirit with the Words 'I will send you the Comforter, the Spirit of truth, which will guide you into all truth and will remind you of everything I have said to you ....'. And when it manifestly brings you the truth, you reject what is offered to you .... because you don't understand My Word, you don't think about what these Words might mean. And therefore you do not correctly understand the outpouring of the spirit upon My disciples, or you would not doubt but instead believe .... However, I linked it to the condition 'He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth Me .... and I will love him, and will manifest Myself to him ....' You no longer live a life of love, otherwise you would clearly understand these Words of Mine and unhesitatingly accept My Word, which I convey to earth 'through My spirit' .... Then you would make the effort to shape yourselves into a receiving vessel for My spirit, you would .... providing you believe in My 'working in you' .... strive for it, because then you will also be guided into all truth, as I have promised. However, you don't pay attention to the Words I spoke when I lived on earth .... you don't pay attention because they are incomprehensible to you; and they are incomprehensible to you because you no longer live in love, which would assuredly develop your understanding .... And thus, reading the Scriptures will be of no great avail to you if you don't have love within you, which opens up your understanding in the first place. For this understanding .... the right way of thinking .... is also the working of the spirit in you, but this is only possible in a heart full of love. First you must keep My commandments and thus live in love, only then will I be able to reveal Myself to you through My spirit. You humans have lost the knowledge of this, which is proven by the resistance of those who came together in ecclesiastical communities or organisations, who rely on the 'Book of Books' and yet don't understand its contents properly .... and they must first be instructed by My spirit before this understanding can be given to them. Only then will they be able to believe that I will send you humans 'the Comforter, the Spirit, which will guide you into all truth ....'

Amen

'The measure you give will be the measure you receive ....'

B.D. 7638 from July 2nd 1960, taken from Book No. 80

And you will receive the same measure you give to your neighbour .... you will receive to the same extent as you are willing to give, you need never suffer hardship if you share your possessions with your fellow human being in need .... And I will bless you at all times, because you will be acting according to My will by merely being lovingly active. You should know that your reward in heaven will only be small if you only selfishly consider yourselves on earth, if you get as much out of life as possible without considering your neighbour; in that case you will have received your reward on earth already, then you will receive earthly possessions which are transient because you aren't acquiring the love which can follow you into eternity .... Yet you should give with love, the prospect of reward should never motivate you to be lovingly active, for then true love will be missing which turns your offerings into true gifts in the first place. And you will receive the measure you give yourselves .... You will receive in a spiritual and earthly way according to your will to give and be able to travel your earthly path richly blessed and never suffer adversity. The reward you receive in the spiritual kingdom for your way of life will make you very happy, for every deed of love results in light and strength in the beyond, with which you will subsequently be able to work for your own blissful happiness .... I Myself will give to you, just as you gave to your neighbour .... except that My gifts are boundless, that I give an abundant measure, that My love for you will reflect your gifts a thousand fold and that you therefore will not suffer deprivation, neither on earth nor in the spiritual kingdom. Hence you can gather immense wealth for yourselves on earth, which will follow you into eternity .... if only you always let neighbourly love speak, if you take notice of the other person's adversity and try to reduce it. And this adversity can be spiritual as well as earthly .... If you ease his spiritual adversity, your spiritual gain will be great indeed, for then you will be providing for yourselves for eternity and one day the soul will be grateful to you for what you offered it. Earthly adversity will come to an end because the human being will not live on earth forever. Spiritual adversity, however, is persistent and can last for an infinitely long time if the soul does not receive help to release itself from it. And since I send you an unlimited amount of spiritual knowledge, you should also pass it on and thereby please your neighbour, who will experience spiritual adversity for as long as he does not know the truth, as long as he has not found the path to Me and seriously thinks about his purpose on earth. You can help him to do so, then you will truly have carried out an act of Christian neighbourly love, for which you will be richly rewarded one day, for then you will have worked on My behalf, you will have tried to attract your neighbour to Me and allowed Me Myself to speak through you, which will never be without blessing for you and for your neighbour. For every person suffers adversity who has not yet actively approached Me, and every person shall be offered the opportunity to establish a heartfelt relationship with Me, his God and Creator of eternity .... For I want to be a Father to him and I want to be recognised by him as his Father .... and if you help him with this and thereby return My child to Me, your work for Me and My kingdom will be blessed. And I will give to you as you give to others, and you will never go short, neither in a spiritual nor earthly way, for your Father in Heaven grants you gifts in abundance, because He loves you ....

Amen

Working of God directly or through messengers of light ....

B.D. 7639 from July 3rd 1960, taken from Book No. 80

When the word of God is presented to you men, unformed and pure, as it was received from above through the Spirit, you should remember that God promised you this gift with the words: "I will send you the Comforter, the Spirit of truth, who will guide you into all truth. You should remember that He promised you "the Spirit" and that He said: "I will remain with you until the end of the world". "Thus it is He Himself Who speaks to you when you hear His word through the voice of the spirit, for He will always speak to people and thus "remain with you until the end of the world." Whether He speaks to you directly or through His messengers of light .... it always remains the same word, for it emanates from Him and flows through all beings of light .... Thus it must always be recognized and acknowledged as His sanctified word, because it emanates from the Eternal word Itself, from the original source of light, because God's love allows it to flow into infinity and everyone can hear it who opens himself and fulfils the conditions God has attached to the 'working of the spirit in the human being'. God therefore works .... and this must always be mentioned, for the working of the beings of light is also the "working of God" .... It is the exchange of light and strength which takes place in the spiritual kingdom and thus makes the beings of light infinitely happy .... And these beings will always distribute the same, thus the announcements received from above, from the kingdom of light, which alone is governed by God's will and lower forces can never intervene to spread error, will never contradict each other. And therefore you humans should listen to the word of God, accept it in your hearts and live accordingly. And then the light will shine through you, your realisation will increase, knowledge will be imparted to you and all spiritual darkness will disappear. And then you will also recognize when you are offered error, for then you will recognize the contradiction with the pure word of God and reject it because it will not bring you light but would like to darken your realisation .... But you should stand in the light, this is God's will, and therefore He will also kindle light where this is also the human being's will to receive truth. And you humans should only have the sincere will for truth within yourselves, you should only try to muster the understanding for the 'working of the spirit', i.e., you should try to find out the truth about it .... And then it would also be self-evident to you that truth can only be conveyed to earth by God through His spirit and therefore may also be accepted without hesitation, for God Himself gave this promise to people when He lived on earth. He will be amongst His Own until the end of the world, and He will instruct them in truth .... and this can only happen through His spirit, which works in the person who believes .... (1. Tess. 2, 13) And God wants to work in every human being, but the human being himself must make this possible by preparing himself to be a receptacle of the divine spirit .... by living in love, thus by keeping God's commandments, so that God can now reveal Himself to him. Where love is absent, His word will not be able to resound .... where love is absent, the spirit of God cannot work .... and where love is not there is also no faith in God's working through His spirit. Yet truth will never be or be represented where love is absent, for God, love and truth are one and nothing can be thought of without the other. The spirit of God must be at work if people want to be instructed in the truth, and the spirit of God must also open people's understanding for it, otherwise the truth will not be recognized as such either. And therefore the human being must first shape himself into love so that the Eternal Love Itself can be in him, so that It can address him through the spirit and then introduce him to the truth, as God has promised ...._>Amen

Victory of divine love ....

B.D. 7640 from July 4th 1960, taken from Book No. 80

For My love never ceases .... Do you know what lies in these words of Mine? That I have loved you from the beginning and will continue to love you for all eternity .... that you will never lose this love of Mine and that you will therefore also one day be intimately united with Me again, even if eternities will still pass by .... I will possess you again as I once did, and you will be immeasurably happy. Yet even as long as you are still far away from Me My love pursues you, and I do everything to shorten the time of separation from Me for you, because you are children of My love. Therefore you cannot be lost forever, My adversary will not have power over you forever, one day he will have to hand you over to Me because the strength of My love is stronger than his power and because My love has also paid the ransom for you. Yet as long as you are still distant from Me your state is an unhappy one .... you are not happy because My love alone signifies true beatitude for you and you still reject My love. And therefore, again and again I carry My love to you, again and again it pursues you and wants to motivate you to open your hearts and let My love radiate into you. You cannot go astray but the time of your distance from Me can still last an exceedingly long time, and during this time you will be wretched .... But I want you to become blessed .... I want to shorten your state of unhappiness, for I long to be able to make you happy, to be united with you and to let you feel the delights of union again. For I love you and My love never ends .... And this love urges Me to speak to you and to prove My love to you through My address .... for I know that you are in need, earthly and spiritually, and I want to help you in these hardships with advice and action, I want to chain you to Me through words of love and comfort, I want you to desire to hear these words again and again and that you will now receive strength through My address, that love will likewise ignite in you and that you will now consciously turn to Me and long for unification with Me .... And then My love will have won, then you will also voluntarily open your heart to My illumination of love, and then you will already manage on earth to join Me and desire My presence ever more intimately .... And then you will have passed the test of earthly life .... and you no longer need to remain at a distance from Me, you have come close to Me and My love has won .... It will certainly win once, but that you will already find your way back to Me in this earthly life .... that you will not need to walk the path through creation again is what My infinite love wants to achieve, so that you will become blissfully happy and be able to behold undreamed-of glories with Me when you have finally returned to Me .... And therefore I will address you again and again as long as you live on earth, because My address alone can bring it about that you change, that you shape yourselves into love .... that your love unites with Me and that you, too, long to live with Me .... as the Eternal Love and to create and work with Me as it was in the beginning ...._>Amen

Requesting strength for the approaching time ....

B.D. 7641 from July 5th 1960, taken from Book No. 80

As yet your life is not over, you can still make unlimited use of blessings, you are still being offered My Word from above and have a certain amount of spiritual freedom in order to spread this Word, in order to live up to it yourselves and to feel the strength of My Word, for you are not prevented from kind-hearted activity, you can speak and act according to your will .... you can work in My vineyard and be active for Me and My kingdom. And you should be conscious of this grace .... For one day the time will come when you will be prevented from working for Me and My kingdom and when it will be made difficult for you to live according to My will. By that time you shall have gathered enough strength in order to persevere, even if the enemy takes action against you, for then you will offer him resistance, because it is My strength which will take effect in you and because he is unable to resist Me. For this reason you shall gather much strength in advance and draw this strength from My Word, for I speak to you so that you will become strong in faith and love, as well as full of strength, and will easily survive the approaching time of adversity. And thus you shall be lively, active in love and with a living faith, and nothing can cause you harm, no matter what happens. For then you will be closely united with Me, and the certainty of My presence provides you with inner peace and complete lack of worry, the conviction of My presence will not let anxiety arise, and all difficulties will pass you by, even though for the sake of the human race they cannot be prevented. And regardless what the days will be like .... They are still final blessings for you and your salvation of soul ..... For the soul can and still will mature, if only your will is good and directed towards Me. Then I will take care that it will not fall prey to the enemy, I will take care that it will gain strength and always offer resistance when it is put under pressure by him. But you should still use the days remaining to you until the end, you should pay no attention to physical hardship but only ever consider the soul, for its salvation is at stake, and for the sake of its salvation My gifts of grace will increase as well and will not stop until the end. But you must be told that you don't have much time left until the end .... You must be told that you ought to believe and prepare yourselves for the end, otherwise My Word will touch your ear in vain and you won't utilise the exceptional gift of grace. And even if you find it difficult to believe .... call upon Me for strength and be willing to live and think according to My will .... and I will support you and provide you with strength, I will guide your thoughts correctly, so that you will not go astray when the end has come .... Simply direct your thoughts to Me and you will not go lost, for then you will also learn to believe the closer it gets to the end. Make good use of your remaining time, gather strength by appealing to Me in prayer for it and be helpful .... and you will be able to await the end calmly, for I Myself protect and guide you, I Am present to you who love Me and you will not lose your way ....

Amen

Living in divine order is fundamental law ....

B.D. 7642 from July 6th 1960, taken from Book No. 80

You are unable to revoke the divine laws but you can act against them .... Yet the latter will never be beneficial for you, for only the human being living within divine order is fulfilling God's will, and only this person can become perfect as long as he lives on earth. But to obey divine order means to live a life of love, for love is divine law .... Love is God Himself, Who is the most perfect Being in infinity. Thus, without love there cannot be perfection, and since bliss and perfection belong together, no human being can be blissfully happy without love. But people can also ignore this law, and this was done by the beings when they deserted God and plunged into the abyss .... thus they had acted against divine order but were nevertheless unable to repeal love itself .... they were merely no longer able to stay within the cycle of this love and therefore they remained without love themselves .... Their will turned against the divine law, their will rejected God's illumination of love, that is, they stepped out of the divine order, they became heartless themselves and thereby also violated divine law .... They fell into sin .... for everything which opposes love is sin and therefore also opposes God Himself. And the logical result of the apostasy from God was therefore an unhappy state, because the being absolutely has to live in divine order if it wants to be happy, that is, it must constantly be able to receive and give love, for love is the fundamental law of eternity, which is and forever will remain the first divine law.

You humans can enter into the divine order again at any time if you make love the basic principle of your lives, if you only ever allow your thoughts and actions to be determined by love .... Then the past state of blissful happiness will soon be granted to you again, for then you will live according to divine law, then you will fulfil God's will, and then you will also unite yourselves again with the Lawmaker of eternity, with God, Who is love Himself. And your character will be the same as it was in the beginning .... God's emanated strength of love, which is now forever merged with God, but as an individually self-aware being it is able to enjoy the inconceivable happiness which it is given by the Eternal Love Itself.

If the being contravenes the divine order it will only ever harm itself, it will never be able to revoke the eternal law. It will only ever get into a wretched state from which it can only be released if it is willing and makes the effort to enter into divine order again. And this is the meaning and purpose of earthly life, for the soul .... the once fallen being .... at the start of its embodiment as a human being is not within this order, but always outside of it. However, it can attain the state, it can completely submit itself to divine order again, and the soul can completely change itself to love and also have submitted itself to divine order. And then the being will be happy again as it was in the beginning, for if it is love in itself it will also correspond to God's fundamental nature and unite itself again with Him, from Whom it once had originated ....

Amen

Natural event and chaos ....

B.D. 7643 from July 8th 1960, taken from Book No. 80

There will be unprecedented chaos after My intervention during which you will have to prove yourselves. Yet regardless of what will happen, you can always count on My help. Life will be bearable for you if you live it with Me, if you keep hold of My hand and walk every step with Me .... But the fact that there will be chaos is certain, even if it seems incredible to you at this moment in time, even if you cannot imagine its nature and magnitude. For it is the time of the end, it is My very last wake-up call, you will still have to experience the final great upheaval so that those of you humans who still walk different paths take the path to Me .... so that you still make good use of the short time which will then still be granted to you before the end. The chaos after My intervention through natural forces will be indescribable and you will need much strength in order to persevere. However, you can always appeal to Me for this strength, you can make sure to receive it through kind-hearted activity, you will never be helplessly left to your fate if only you are willing to help your fellow human beings and ask for My help to do so. I let this natural disaster befall you for the sake of your spiritual hardship, it is intended to make you think about the value of earthly life if it is lived in a purely worldly way.

For you will lose all possessions, you will be forced into situations in which you will need a lot of help and will only be able to find this help with Me, for earthly assistance will be impossible. But I can and will help you as soon as you call upon Me in spirit and in truth, as soon as you merely send sincerely pleading thoughts up to Me to take care of you in your adversity. And the less selfish your prayers are the more you will experience My help. And then I will expect of My Own to speak on My behalf and also to refer their fellow human beings to Me, to try and strengthen their faith in My infinite Fatherly love and thus to work for Me and My kingdom, for then they will find receptive ears and hearts, although the majority of people will not listen to them .... But it is necessary to still win the few people for whose sake I let the disaster come upon earth. For every single soul is important to Me, I don't want a single soul to go astray if it can still be saved, and I will also enable My servants to speak fluently so that they can be successful labourers in My vineyard. You must all gather much strength in advance because the hardship will be severe, but I assure you that you will be able to prevail if only you hold on to Me, and I will imbue every person with strength who thinks of Me in hours of greatest adversity .... With faith and trust in My help you will all be strong and conquer all earthly adversity. For you should only take the path to Me .... That is the sole purpose of My intervention, so that you do not go astray again for an infinitely long time when the end has come ....

Amen

Spiritual death and renewed banishment ....

B.D. 7644 from July 9th 1960, taken from Book No. 80

Spiritual death is the worst fate that can happen to the soul, for it will be unable to release itself from it once it has departed from earth. It exists, it is also conscious of itself and yet is entirely without light and strength, and this is a state of inconceivable agony. It inevitably leads to a renewed banishment into matter again unless people intercede so effectively on its behalf that it provides the soul with strength, so that it can change itself if it has the will to do so, that is, if it doesn't directly resist it. As long as a soul is apathetic in this state, it can receive help from the enlightened spiritual world or through loving intercession .... But it can also be so hardened that it rebels with burning rage against the power which .... so it believes .... keeps it imprisoned. Then it will steadily descend further and harden into solid substance, which subsequently makes its ascent in the kingdom of the beyond impossible. Then it will have to travel the infinitely long path of higher development through the whole of creation again, for one day even this soul shall wake up to the life which lasts forever .... Countless people on this earth are in this danger of succumbing to spiritual death, for during the end time they do nothing in order to acquire this life. They live without love and therefore without God as well, they already harden their souls to matter on earth, for they strive towards it and fail to consider the spiritual life they are supposed to create for the soul while they live on earth. They bow to the one who is master of the earthly world and also strive for his goods .... And these cannot bestow life upon the soul but they certainly assure its spiritual death.

And if it enters the beyond in this lifeless state it will be in utmost danger, for heartless people rarely leave friends behind on earth who will send loving thoughts to them in the spiritual kingdom. And only these can save the soul, for every loving thought, every prayer full of love has an effect of strength on such souls, they are so effective that the soul changes and has the will to ascend. Then it will have escaped eternal death, it will no longer descend into the state which results in its renewed banishment. All you humans have no idea about the strength of love or you would make an effort to live a life of love .... And then you will attain life, for love itself is life, and it awakens everything that is dead back to life again.

If, however, you don't use this strength, if you go along without love, your soul's spiritual substance has no option but to solidify and thereby gets into a dreadful state, for then death will not lead to the souls transience, instead it will be a state of vegetating in awareness of its existence and of agonising helplessness and darkness. As long as you still live on earth you are incapable of imagining this state, yet you should do everything in your power in order to avoid it, for everything is possible for you on earth, you repeatedly have the opportunity to accomplish deeds of love on earth, and then the danger of death will be over, then you will have to awaken to life while you are still on earth and thus will also be able to enter eternal life, then you will have conquered death. And you are all able to live a life of love, for the divine spark of love is in all of you, which need only be kindled in order to never be extinguished again, because love always gives you new strength and you will inwardly be motivated to be active once you have kindled this spark of love in you. However, you cannot be forced to do so, but the dreadfulness of spiritual death can only ever be pointed out to you so that you will try to avoid this horror of your own accord .... For as long as you live on earth you have the strength to be lovingly active; but once you have entered the kingdom of the beyond you will be incapable of doing anything by yourselves, then you will be dependent on help and can consider yourselves fortunate if it is provided for you by people whose thoughts follow you with love .... Only love redeems, only love is strength .... and everyone should acquire love for himself through loving activity as long as he lives on earth, so that he will not succumb to spiritual death ....

Amen

The earth is school of the spirit ....

B.D. 7645 from July 11th 1960, taken from Book No. 80

The earth has ceased to be a place of education for the spirit .... It must first be brought back into the right order, i.e., everything that is bound on it, from hard matter up to the human being, must first be brought back into the right order. from hard matter up to the human being, must first be brought back into the right order, all spiritual substances still bound in matter must be helped to serve, and the human being .... who is to serve in free will .... must likewise integrate himself into this order of eternity. must likewise integrate himself into this order of eternity, otherwise he will lead his earthly life in vain and thus the grace of embodiment will be withdrawn from him in favour of the spiritual substance which is ready for service and has already reached the degree of maturity which allows its embodiment as a human being. Yet the work of God's adversary is so strong that he, too, must first be put in chains so that people can fulfil their task of earthly life without being constantly influenced by him. Although the human being has free will and need not subject himself to the adversary's influence, his will is weakened because he does not acknowledge Jesus Christ .... because he is without faith and without love. And on this earth only a few people still change by acknowledging Jesus Christ as God's Son and redeemer from sin and death and hand themselves over to Him. The majority have already fallen prey to God's adversary and therefore no further upward development can be expected on this earth .... For this reason God will create a new earth where the spiritual's ascent development is guaranteed again, where people recognize their earthly task and live in accordance with God's will and where the spiritual still bound in the creations will also experience a faster development than is still possible on this earth. Endless long times always pass until a new period of development begins again, because people in the old earth period no longer strive for this development and are far more of an obstacle that the still bound spiritual can also ascend. For people act contrary to divine order in everything, they no longer know their purpose of existence, they don't believe in God and in the survival of the soul, they are inaccessible to all teachings and go open-eyed towards the abyss .... the renewed banishment in solid matter .... And therefore God, on the other hand, liberates that which was previously bound in this hard matter and lets it go on its upward course of development through the creations of the new earth, and all spiritual substances will now achieve faster development again because they are also surrounded by people who have developed the spirit of love within themselves and therefore also have an extremely favourable effect on the still bound spiritual substances in the plant and animal world. As soon as divine order, which is no longer respected on the old earth, is restored, all spiritual substances will reach maturity more quickly, which is necessary again for the next deformation. And people will also mature in their souls, for they live in love and thus with God and consequently also have to unite with God again more quickly, which is the purpose and aim of earthly life. For earth is only a transit station to the kingdom of light, but earthly life as a human being must also be evaluated accordingly, the soul must pass through the school of the spirit on earth in order to mature and be able to enter the spiritual kingdom as a soul of light. And this divine order is no longer adhered to on the old earth, and therefore it will experience a total change in that everything that is bound will be set free and be begotten into other forms again .... but just as the human being who has failed will lose his external form and sink back into the abyss .... in order to once again take the path through the creations of the earth .... Yet God's love and wisdom directs everything correctly, and He will truly let everything happen in such a way that it will serve the still bound spiritual being for the best ...._>Amen

Spiritual sun .... Life force influx ....

B.D. 7646 from July 11th 1960, taken from Book No. 80

The sun of the spirit sends forth its rays and all of you shall enter its circle of rays in order to be illuminated for your soul's salvation. The sun of the spirit is the light of love which emanates from Me and wants to strike all My works of creation in order to fill them with strength which ensures the life of everything created by Me. For the whole of creation is sustained by My strength of love, thus constantly illuminated by the sun of the spirit. Whether it is the beingness still bound in form, whether it is the soul of man .... Everything can only come to life through My illumination, thus it can be active, for it receives strength from Me through the illumination which it needs for activity and which therefore also testifies to life. Yet there is a difference in the strength of the illumination which, in the human stage, can be of such abundance that it can result in eternal life for the human being if he is willing. For the strength of the illumination which hits him also depends on his will alone, and therefore also the measure of strength which can fill the human being. For during earthly life he not only receives the vitality necessary for existence but the more he enters the area of radiation of the spiritual sun the more he is also filled by spiritual strength which his soul receives and processes, and this then only works for its eternal life .... Spiritual strength carries the perfection of the soul into the human being so that it can then be active in the spiritual kingdom and be blissfully happy. Activity always proves life .... Activity always requires strength .... and strength is constantly radiated by My love, touching all beingness, depending on its degree of maturity or development. The beingness which is still bound in form is constantly illuminated by My strength, otherwise it could not exist as a work of creation .... And thus every work of creation is also active, even if it is not apparent to the human eye, but it changes in its external form, which brings about every activity. And all these creations contribute to the mutual preservation .... therefore this supply of strength is the strength necessary for the existence of the works of creation. And thus the human being also receives this vitality, but the human being should make use of it by entering My flow of strength of love of his own free will .... by entering the area of radiation of the spiritual sun .... by also being spiritually active in addition to his earthly activity, i.e. by working with love .... thus certainly performs earthly works which, however, have a spiritual effect if they are done in love. Then he will be illuminated by the sun of the spirit, then he will draw spiritual strength, then My divine sun of love can shine upon him and it will touch his heart .... the soul will receive the rays and be driven to unusual activity .... it will ceaselessly practise love, and thus it will come to life through love, which it can never lose again .... And then it is constantly active, it has emerged from the state of death, which was its lot because it had voluntarily removed itself from My flow of love .... And it must come to life again, for only then can it be blissful again as it was in the beginning. Then it will be permeated by My flow of strength of love again, as it once was, then it will create and work in My will again, then it will have become perfect, then it will be My image again .... a divine being that works in and with Me and is blissfully happy ...._>Amen

St. John 21, 25 ....

B.D. 7647 from July 14th 1960, taken from Book No. 80

My Own will receive explanations from Me if they genuinely desire them .... My plan of eternity certainly conceals many things from people, because unlimited knowledge is always just a sign of advanced spiritual maturity or, for that matter, because knowledge increases as soon as love becomes more profound. And I know and have known for eternity which degree of love people will achieve and therefore mentioned no more during My life on earth than people were able to take in, since the understanding of most profound wisdom also depended on their degree of love. Nevertheless I mentioned many other things which were not imparted to people .... for there were also kind-hearted people in My vicinity who were able to absorb and understand deeper knowledge. Yet I always advocated one teaching, I conveyed the commandments of love .... I always urged people to live a life of love. And this teaching of love is still ‘My Gospel’ today which ought to be presented to all people of good will. For the human being’s degree of maturity entirely depends on fulfilling My commandments of love, and the human being’s degree of realisation in turn depends on the soul’s degree of maturity. Love guarantees truthful knowledge which can penetrate all depths. And the human being had also always received remarkable information the more his nature transformed itself to love and desired the knowledge .... Yet not many people wanted to know. They were usually satisfied with the knowledge handed down from person to person and which could be found in the Book of Books.

But knowledge .... the truth from God .... is inexhaustible, it cannot be limited because I, as the most perfect Being, know no limitation and thus do not limit a person’s knowledge either if he strives towards perfection and completely shapes himself to love. Then he will learn things which are not written in any book, and he may penetrate divine wisdom ever more and will never cease to be amazed .... However, it would be foolish to make such knowledge accessible to all people through books, for it requires a high degree of spiritual maturity to comprehend it, which too few people on earth posses. But it is possible to achieve, and this is why people should constantly be referred to My commandments of love, the fulfilment of which can indeed enhance their soul’s maturity. And although life on earth is short, it suffices for the attainment of a high state of maturity; and therefore every human being can depart from earth with a high degree of realisation providing he readily fulfilled these commandments of love .... for then I will reveal Myself to him in spirit, and I will place the right thoughts into his heart or convey to him the truth through the inner Word. And then he will exceed the knowledge to which he was academically introduced or which he acquired through intellectual reasoning. But he will also recognise that the Book of Books contains the truth because then he will read it with an enlightened spirit, regardless that alterations had occurred through human intellectual thought which, however, can only be detected and rectified by an enlightened spirit.

‘He who loves Me and keeps My commandments, to him I will come and reveal Myself ....' And I shall truly guide him into truth and give him the right understanding for it. However, what is not absolutely necessary to know in earthly life and what was therefore kept hidden shall, in the last days, also be disclosed to all those who want to belong to Me and to whom I therefore reveal My eternal plan of Salvation. For they should become aware of the gravity of this time, they should know what lies ahead of them, and they should in all kindness be admonished and warned to consider the end and to prepare themselves for it .... And this is why knowledge is conveyed to people which they, depending on their degree of love, will either accept or reject .... They are not forced to accept it but they should think about it .... they should, because they no longer take any notice of the Book of Books, nevertheless receive My Word, which only teaches love again, but which provides people with a deeper insight into My plan of Salvation because the time of the end has come.

Now I can present knowledge to people which is no longer beneficial to them only because their faith is weak or has completely vanished, hence this information will purely be heeded by those of strong faith, who may therefore also gain an insight into My eternal plan of Salvation .... So I Am revealing Myself to them and inform them that what I proclaimed through seers and prophets ever since the beginning of this period of Salvation is coming to fruition, for sooner or later this period will come to an end and the future becomes the present. And anyone with an awakened spirit will also find full concurrence with the Words of the Scriptures, for whatever comes from Me is always the same and never contradicts itself. And just as the harvest is the conclusion of a farmer's efforts, so I, too, will reap in the end and gather those whose souls have fully matured on this earth, and they will enter into life in the spiritual kingdom or on the new earth, as is recognised and determined by My wisdom and love. I will judge the living and the dead .... I will place everything where it belongs in accordance with its state of maturity, and this will also mean that many people who failed in their earthly life and descended into the state of death again will be banished into hard matter once more, from where they will slowly have to find their way back into life over an infinitely long period of time. For nothing shall be lost forever, and one day even the lowest fallen spirit will find the life which it will then never ever lose again ....

Amen

God as a loving Father ....

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

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

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

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

Amen

The redemptive work of Jesus was unique ....

B.D. 7649 from July 17th 1960, taken from Book No. 80

This was My love's greatest work that I died for you on the cross. My love is infinite and therefore always and forever applies to My living creations, even if they are still far away from Me. It also pursues the deeply sunk and helps it up again and again. And it will not rest until the work of return is completed. Yet the greatest love on My part would not have been able to accept you again if you had not first become free of your guilt of sin .... For even love cannot eliminate justice, and the guilt had to be redeemed first, atonement had to be made for it .... an atonement which the sinful creature was incapable of making, even if eternities had passed by .... This is why My love Itself redeemed the guilt by accomplishing the act of salvation, by suffering and dying on the cross for the sins of humanity. My Love Itself accomplished the work and embodied Itself for this purpose in a human being Who allowed this embodiment in Himself because His love for Me and His fellow human beings was so strong that He wanted to suffer and die for them .... I Myself, as the 'Eternal Love', was thus in Him, in the man Jesus, Who shed His blood for His brothers in order to redeem their great guilt of sin .... This was a unique act of salvation which can never be surpassed in its greatness before or since, for I truly chose the most bitter death because the magnitude of the guilt was immeasurable and required the greatest suffering and pain in order to establish compensation for this guilt towards justice .... For although Jesus' cover was human, yet Jesus' soul was from above, which also explains that it suffered far more in the kingdom of darkness than a person living in the midst of sin can imagine. But He wanted to suffer for His fallen brothers, and I accepted this sacrifice because the love in Him wanted to make it and because I never refuse love when it wants to express itself. For love is My primal element, and thus I found Myself in the man Jesus and sacrificed Myself for humanity. This act of mercy is so immense that it will also remain incomprehensible to you humans as long as you still live on earth, but one day you will recognize what has taken place in the spiritual kingdom through this act of salvation .... you will recognize it when you have entered that kingdom yourselves and when you are then allowed to experience the process of Jesus' crucifixion yourselves, which will then overwhelm you and make you sing praise and thanks .... And every mature soul will be allowed to experience it in the spiritual kingdom and only then recognize the love and grace which prevailed that I Myself walked across the earth in the man Jesus. For a bridge has now been built from people to Me which may be entered by every soul that wants to come to Me .... There is a path from the kingdom without light into the kingdom of light and bliss .... And this path could and can be taken by anyone who wants to reach Me in My kingdom. It is the path Jesus took and which you all only need to follow in order to be united with Me again. Thus the guilt of sin has been redeemed .... And this act of salvation was accomplished for all people of the past, the present and the future, everyone can find redemption who seriously strives towards the final aim, the union with Me, for he will find forgiveness of his guilt through Jesus Christ, Who laid down His life for him, Who paid the purchase price for all souls with His blood .... And every 'redeemed' soul will be allowed to experience the sacrifice on the cross itself .... But never will such a work of redemption be repeated .... For Jesus died for all people of the past, the present and the future, and this means that My love was satisfied with this work of mercy .... but that the human being himself must now also want his own redemption, otherwise Jesus died for him on the cross in vain .... Anyone who does not find his way to Jesus Christ will never accept redemption, for it can only be brought to him through Him .... anyone who rejects Jesus Christ also rejects Me, and he will never be able to unite with Me .... anyone who does not accept Jesus Christ will continue to be burdened with his great guilt of sin, and the gates to the kingdom of light will be closed to him .... (17.7.1960) And you humans of the present time live in the redemption period in which I Myself ascended to earth in Jesus in order to redeem your guilt, in order to accomplish the great work of mercy which is unique and will remain so for all eternity. Thus you were able to exploit the blessings of the act of salvation during your earthly life, and you still have the opportunity to do so if you are not yet redeemed, that is, if you have not yet approached Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins .... For you still have a short time left until the end. But you will inevitably have to seek and find Him during this time if you don't want to go astray for eternity, for there is no other redemption for you than that you acknowledge Him and thus Me Myself in Him, so that you will be released from your original sin through your will, which burdens every person who has not yet taken his path to Jesus Christ. And therefore My name will be preached with increased zeal throughout the world. Jesus Christ will be proclaimed throughout the world, and truly, every person who believes in Him and gives himself to Him in this faith will be allowed to experience the strength of His name .... Then he will live for eternity, even though he will lose his earthly life before the end. But faith in Jesus Christ protects him from destruction, for no-one can perish who acknowledges Him because He shed His blood for all people .... for the people of the past, the present and the future .... Let it be said to you that His work of redemption was a unique one, the like of which has never happened before and will never happen again .... For I Myself sacrificed Myself in the man Jesus on the cross, and My act of love truly had such an effect that the redemption of all humanity's guilt is guaranteed, no matter how great it was and is. But people have to want to be redeemed .... Against his will no human being will be forced to accept the blessings of My act of salvation .... against his will no human being's guilt of sin can be redeemed .... And therefore people cannot be spared the fate of a new banishment either who do not voluntarily place themselves under the cross of Christ, who do not accept Jesus Christ, who have no faith in Me and My greater than great love, which wants to help all people who are in spiritual hardship. I must let them go their way which, however, will certainly lead to the aim one day .... I leave them complete freedom, but how they use their freedom determines the state which awaits them as soon as the end of the earth has come. And the time and hour of this end has been determined since eternity, and it can no longer be stopped because divine order has to be restored, which no longer reigns on this earth. But I can only ever point out this end to you and admonish you to utmost soul work .... And this consists of increased activity of love .... And then you will also be able to recognize Jesus Christ as your saviour and redeemer, and you will take the path to the cross, and then you will also no longer be able to get lost ...._>Amen

From the fire of love shines the light of wisdom ....

B.D. 7650 from July 18th 1960, taken from Book No. 80

Love alone is the key to wisdom .... and it will be difficult to separate error from truth for the one who does not have love, for he himself is outside of truth and cannot recognize it. But again, it will be possible to attain the truth if the serious will to do so is present and if the human being knows about the effect of love. Love is the light itself, and a heart willing to love is illuminated by the inner light .... for love awakens the spirit to life which, because part of the father-spirit from eternity, also carries all wisdom within itself and can now impart it to the human being from within. The fire of love radiates the light of wisdom .... If only you humans were able to grasp this profound truth, that there is no truthful knowledge .... i.e. wisdom .... can exist if love does not glow in the human heart. For only where love is can the human being penetrate the deepest depths of divine wisdom, and then he will also far surpass his fellow human being's knowledge, because if he has love within himself he will .... God Himself within himself and can now be introduced to all truth by Him. The human being should always remain aware of the fact that he harbours all wisdom within himself .... that he stood in brightest light in his original state and thus in fullest realisation and that this light was only buried due to his fall into sin but can surface again at any time when he is free from his guilt of sin, when he is redeemed through Jesus Christ and has now awakened the spirit within himself through a life of love. And then he will also be able to distinguish error from truth .... He will be able to pass wise judgment as soon as disputes arise which concern spiritual knowledge. And this one shall be heard when it is necessary to check whether a spiritual knowledge corresponds to truth. But many people will claim of their own accord to have awakened their spirit, many people will count themselves as awakened in spirit, and divergent thought material will be represented as truth which, however, can never be truth from God if it deviates from each other .... And people themselves cannot measure their fellow human being's degree of love either, and then there is only one way out .... to go to God Himself and ask Him for clarification, Who Himself is the 'Eternal Truth'. For you should know that God's adversary can also disguise himself under the cloak of love .... but then it is not possible to speak of unselfish neighbourly love, instead love is practised for the sake of an advantage which the fellow human being usually does not notice. But there is this danger, and then it is not possible to speak of transmitting truth, of 'wisdom', of the light which radiates from the fire of love. And therefore you humans should examine and not let yourselves be misled by teachings which seem difficult to accept .... Then you will be inwardly warned, for anyone who desires the truth need not fear falling prey to error, he will have a right feeling for defence if spiritual good is occasionally offered to him, and he will also recognize when the adversary has intervened and where he can intervene. And he should only join God all the more intimately and ask Him for protection from error and for right recognition .... And his thinking will be right, he will not err in his judgment ...._>Amen

Human-tangible knowledge of the work of redemption ....

B.D. 7651 from July 20th 1960, taken from Book No. 80

You will only understand My act of salvation correctly when you are able to comprehend the spiritual processes after the creation of the beings from Me. And this requires a high spiritual maturity which opens up the deepest spiritual knowledge about all these processes to you and which only few people on earth still achieve. But only then will you understand My infinitely profound love for My living creations, for before that the term 'love' has not yet been completely clarified for you either, and you only ever apply human standards which, however, cannot bear comparison. The redemption through Jesus Christ will indeed be revealed to you one day, it will reveal to you what is now still beyond your power of realisation .... and you, now free from all guilt, will be able to grasp My work of love in all its depth .... But as long as you live on earth as a human being you can only be taught in a human way. Nevertheless, you will be instructed in truth; thus you need not believe that 'limited' knowledge deviates from the truth .... You can represent the knowledge you receive through My spirit as unconditional truth, even though it does not yet reveal the ultimate wisdom to you. For the spirit from God does not err. But it considers you according to your state of maturity and one day you will recognize that you lived in truth on earth because you had the grace to be taught by My spirit. And thus you can confidently reject it if you are offered spiritual knowledge which does not coincide with your knowledge .... And you will also feel for yourselves whether and what you may reject, because even then the spirit within you will order your thinking and protect you from error .... The act of salvation was unique, it will not be repeated again but it will always be allowed to be experienced as present in the spiritual kingdom .... and the souls which have this maturity that they may experience it will also then be able to gain insight into those spiritual processes which already substantiated Jesus Christ's act of salvation at the creation of the beings and which testify to My immeasurable love, which is always and forever at work and will also one day achieve the fallen being's complete spiritualisation, because everything is possible for love. I cannot grant you full insight in the human stage, for you would perish in view of what My love has planned since eternity .... You must be content with the spiritual knowledge you receive through the working of the spirit within you .... And you should also not seek to penetrate My plan of salvation if I still deny you insight, if I set limits where your maturity does not yet allow for the deepest wisdom, but the limits will fall with increasing maturity of soul .... And one day you will also penetrate the secrets which are still veiled to you, one day the infinite depth of My love will also be revealed to you, for then your degree of love will also be appropriate, then the unification will have taken place which will result in a complete permeation of My strength of love, which is synonymous with profoundest realisation of My reign and activity in the spiritual kingdom ...._>Amen

Offering the word is special grace ....

B.D. 7652 from July 22nd 1960, taken from Book No. 80

The presentation of My word will only ever mean an unusual reception of grace for you if you accept it in your heart and live it out, i.e. if you are not only listeners but doers of My word. When I speak to you and you let My words go to your heart, when they don't just ring in your ears but leave a deep impression on you, then you will also make an effort to live according to these words of Mine, and then you will enter into My will .... and you will be saved for eternity. My word is the most effective means of grace .... you need only let yourselves be addressed by Me and you will not remain unaffected by it if only your will is good .... and your will is good if it desires Me.

(22.7.1960) Your will is good if you are of a righteous mind .... Then you can only ever experience blessings from My word, for then you will also receive the strength which strengthens your will at the same time as the word. And if it is now turned towards Me I can take hold of you and draw you to Me .... As long as you walk across earth as a human being streams of grace flow to you because I know that you are too weak and need My support, because I know that without My gifts of grace you would never be able to cover the path to ascent. And My love for you expresses itself in the bestowal of grace. I use the most diverse means to help you, and all these means are graces, they are gifts of My love which you have not earned but which My love does not withhold from you. All these means are effective if you pay attention to them, for they can cause you to change your will, they can show you the path to Me. But no means is as effective as My word .... When I address you directly then you receive the strength from Me directly, and this draws you to Me again .... My strength strengthens your will and at the same time makes you able to fulfil My will revealed to you .... Thus you not only remain hearers of My word but you live out My word .... provided that you listen to Me without any inner resistance when I speak to you. My word is only ineffective in the face of resistance, but where the resistance is broken .... and you consciously turn your will towards Me .... the strength with which I have blessed My word is effective. And then you will have to progress in your development, then you will have to ascend because I constantly draw you through My word. For My word is the nourishment of your soul .... I speak to your soul with My word and it will soon recognize the father's voice and submit itself to His will. And the father will always address His child as necessary, for the father knows His child, He knows its faults and shortcomings, He knows its will, and He now tries everything to win back His child for eternity .... And My word always achieves this. For My word is radiance of love from Me which touches every person who opens himself, who thus listens when I speak to him, who does not let My word fall on his ear. You cannot be offered a substitute for My word, for no other gift of grace equals My word, because this gift of grace requires a bond with Me which consists of turning the will towards Me. Only then will you humans be able to hear the 'father's voice', otherwise My word will only remain empty letters which you do not understand, which do not touch your heart. Only by turning to Me will you establish this bond which will result in the influx of strength from Me when you expect My address, which will then certainly be granted to you. And you humans can be certain that I speak to everyone who opens his ear to My address, who wants Me to speak to him and who therefore will also feel the strength of My word when it sounds to him. Then he will exploit a means of grace of unheard-of significance, for as soon as I can address him .... directly or through My messengers .... he is in direct contact with Me, and then he can no longer fall, then he must irrevocably take the path to ascent, and then he will also irrevocably reach the aim .... to the final union with Me ...._>Amen

Address to vineyard workers ....

B.D. 7653 from July 23rd 1960, taken from Book No. 80

And you will have to serve Me with increased zeal if you want to control people's spiritual adversity. Wherever you can convey My word you should do so, for only My word can still bring people to their senses, because otherwise they will not be made aware of what they still have to expect, and because it is still possible through My word that people who hear it will deal with spiritual matters because My word is blessed with My strength. Therefore, don't neglect anything you can undertake; only ever hand out what you receive from Me and don't let yourselves be deterred by failures or temporary rejections of the spiritual good you offer to your fellow human beings. For something of it will always remain, and when the time will come upon people many will remember it. Again and again I will lead people into your path to whom you are to convey My word, to whom you are to mention My reign and activity and My unusual gift of grace to you. And I will put the words into your mouth .... only place yourselves at My disposal when I want to speak through you, that is, take every opportunity to speak to your fellow human beings about spiritual things and a great blessing will rest on your endeavour, you will experience many blessings yourselves and your fellow human beings will also gratefully accept the gifts they are offered. And you should also not ask why you, My servants, have all been placed in different situations in life .... why one person's situation differs from another. You should only ever let Me rule, for I truly know what serves you all best, and I also know where and how the most successful vineyard work can be done. But I Myself have all the strings in My hand and I also know how to guide them with wisdom and love .... And you should not believe that I will once withdraw My guidance from you, that I will leave you and your work to yourselves .... I am always with you whom I recognize as My true servants because they are willing to serve Me. And I can only use such servants to work for Me and My kingdom. And you can believe that there is great need and that I accept every one of you who is therefore willing to do vineyard work. I will put My will into your heart, I will guide your steps, I will order your thoughts, and thus you will be driven from within to work according to My will. Therefore, entrust yourselves to Me daily and hourly, ask for My guidance and My blessing, and always remain united with Me in thought, in prayer and through prayer of love .... And you will truly not need to worry about anything yourselves, everything will come about by itself, and you will always recognize My hand in everything you experience, in everything that happens to you. For if you want to serve Me then you will also love Me, and then My love can also provide for you such that you will always and constantly be provided for in body and soul. Therefore only ever look up to Me and unreservedly give yourselves to Me, and your earthly path will be blessed .... you will be true servants to Me who diligently carry out their work, who are faithful co-workers to Me in the coming time, in the last time before the end ...._>Amen

Re-banishment an act of justice ....

B.D. 7654 from July 24th 1960, taken from Book No. 80

Hear My words: I want you to return to Me, to become blessed again as it was in the beginning .... But this is not decided by My will alone, your free will must also desire and strive for the same, you, too, must want to stay with Me again in order to be able to enjoy the happiness of union in My presence. As long as you don't muster this will your fate will be wretched, regardless of whether you live on earth or in the kingdom of the beyond, for My will alone cannot release you from it, otherwise you will remain bound creatures which were once freely created in My image. And so that you now direct your will correctly, so that you strive towards Me in free will, earthly life as a human being was given to you. And you should now also make good use of it, you should only take care of your soul's salvation. My infinite love longs for you, who are still far away from Me, and this longing for love will not stop until you have become My Own. And My love tries everything to motivate your free will to turn to Me, because then the return to Me is also guaranteed .... because then I Myself will seize you and be able to draw you to Me and once then the unification will take place, which is the aim of your earthly progress as a human being. But there are limits to you, your earthly course will soon be over, even if you are not called away prematurely .... But the time is only short, then every person will lose his earthly life who does not already belong to My Own .... who has not yet striven for or entered into union with Me .... And then a bad fate awaits the latter, then their will has failed, and then the distance from Me increases, for people sink irrevocably into the abyss who have not returned to Me by the appointed time as was their destiny. My love for you humans is boundless and I will truly still do everything in order to save you from this downfall, but I will always respect your free will because I cannot act otherwise according to eternal law. For My love can only work where it does not meet with resistance .... But a will turned away from Me is resistance which sets limits to My activity of love. And I don't break this by force but respect it, even if the being then falls back into the abyss, because this is then its own will. Therefore, don't think that those people will be wronged if I don't stop the end, if My plan of salvation unfolds as it was determined in My love and wisdom .... Don't feel sorry for people who don't want to become blessed themselves, for so many graces have been bestowed upon all of them, and I will still bestow My graces until the end, and everyone could still change, because it is completely up to him how he directs his will .... Everyone will still be showered with graces, everyone will be made easy, for I truly try everything and I don't demand anything impossible from people .... They could all still find their way to Me, for the time would suffice for the change of will, even if it is still so short. But like the will, so is the lot .... they will not be unjustly considered because My infinite love truly applies to every creature and I want to regain every creature before the end .... And thus I create new possibilities again for the spiritual being, which fails as a human being, in order to be able to reach the final aim one day after all .... the union with Me .... with Me .... but the human being who fails delays his return to Me again for eternal times, and he has to suffer immeasurable torment for his wrong will because he misuses it again .... Yet he has chosen his state himself, he has approached the abyss himself despite constant admonitions and warnings. And to release him from it again will be My constant endeavour, because My love will not diminish and will also follow the fallen one into the abyss, so that it will one day find its way to Me after all, so that it will one day return to its father's house after all ...._>Amen

Calling upon beings of light after prayer to God ....

B.D. 7655 from July 25th 1960, taken from Book No. 80

In your contact with the spiritual world only your attitude towards Me determines whether your soul will derive benefit from it. For good and evil forces fight for your will wanting to exercise their influence over you, and you alone decide which forces will be allowed to approach you. The crucial factor is your direction of will, which always has to aim towards Me, if the beings of light working on My behalf are to be permitted to protect and instruct you.

Your constant bond with Me assures you their protection and care, and their influence on your souls will always be favourable and promote your souls development. For even these beings, which are full of love, are not permitted to influence you against your will although evil forces are also unable to do so .... this is why you are always protected from their activity when you closely unite with Me, when you appeal to Me for protection and help. Then I will be able to instruct My beings of light to watch over you, and then you will truly be safe. For the love of these beings is immense and they will do everything for you as soon as they see that your will applies to Me.

Hence you can always consider yourselves carried by their love as long as you uphold your bond with Me, which thus allows their unrestricted activity. And you can mentally connect with them as well; you can present your problems to them and request their protection, which they will very gladly grant to you. You should entrust yourselves to all good spiritual beings and keep all wicked spirits at bay. For that reason you may also ask the good forces for protection against evil forces, and they will form a barrier around you and deny entry to the latter. But you are surrounded by spiritual forces at all times, by those which mean well and those who try to harm you .... and also by spiritual beings which anticipate your help, which are weak and uninformed and feel attracted by your proximity, because they see your light and strive towards it, since they lack light themselves.

And in that case you should also ask the good forces for their support to teach and guide them, and to protect them from the advances of evil forces which try to influences these beings too .... You should only ever want to act virtuously and righteously and request help to do so, be it in earthly or spiritual difficulties, for beings of light are always ready to help those on My behalf who want to be My Own and make intimate contact with Me in prayer. Hence you can constantly send your thoughts into the spiritual kingdom, and you will always receive a reply from there, which you mentally accept and are thus also able to speak of a 'life in and with God' ....

Just don't exclude Me from your thoughts. For I want to be your beginning and your end, you shall begin and end your daily activities with Me, and then all angels will truly look after you, they will support you with advice and practical help, for they love Me and are also full of love for you .... and therefore they will only ever accomplish My will. However, you can make this very will of Mine inclined towards you at any time, and you will then lead a blissful life on earth, for then you will be living under My constant protection, since you will be safeguarded by all My angels on your path of life and they will protect you from all forces intending to cause you harm ....

Amen

The soul will reap what it has sown ....

B.D. 7656 from July 26th 1960, taken from Book No. 80

You should not entertain deceptive ideas that you can gather treasures for your earthly life because you will lose them faster than you had acquired them. I caution you not to strive after earthly possessions and get attached to them, and time and again I will show you the transient nature of worldly possessions. You spend much time and effort when it comes to collecting worldly treasures and rarely consider that you cannot keep them, that you have to let go of them when you leave this earth, but that they can also be taken from you by other means if this is My will. You only appreciate what belongs to the world and yet is temporary; but you ignore the eternal .... you only take care of your body and ignore your soul .... And thus you use your energy of life wrongly, you only use it for your physical well-being but inconsiderately prepare a wretched fate in eternity for your soul. Because during your earthly life you do not give to the soul that which serves its perfection alone, you let it starve, whereas you excessively provide for your body without ever gaining from it. Because even your earthly life can end from one day to the next, and then you will enter the kingdom in the beyond poor and empty-handed and will have to suffer much pain.

For once you should think about the fact that you yourselves have no control over your life, that your life on earth could be short and that death could approach you any day without your being able to prevent it. And you should think about the 'thereafter' .... but you do not believe that you are not obliterated at the moment of death, you do not believe in the soul's continuation of life and that this life will then be in accordance with your life on earth and your concern for your soul's salvation. And on account of this unbelief you live thoughtlessly and do not question the meaning and purpose of your earthly life. You are content when you get what you like on earth, when you provide the body with a sense of well-being and collect many earthly possessions for the future .... And you do not actually know whether you will still have a future. However, you all know that you will have to die one day .... And this knowledge should make you want to evaluate your earthly life consciously. But you lack faith, faith in a God and Creator, Who will hold you accountable for your conduct on earth one day. And because you do not believe, you are indifferent.

But you can all be certain that the hour of your accountability will come and that your regret will be bitter when you find yourselves in great spiritual poverty in the kingdom of the beyond and eventually realise what you had neglected on earth due to your own fault. Because it is by grace that you were allowed to become embodied on earth, and not to have used this grace will be bitterly regretted by the soul one day since it will never be able to make up for its neglect, although in the kingdom of the beyond it will also receive help to ascend from the abyss, but the circumstances are far more difficult than they are or were on earth. You should not live so thoughtlessly because the hour will come for every human being when he has to leave the earthly body and then the soul will enter the spiritual kingdom .... Although this hour can bring much pleasure and joy it can also bring great darkness and pain .... but always in accordance with the human being's own will which he had demonstrated by his conduct during his earthly life .... He will reap what he has sown, he will enter the kingdom of light and bliss, or he will be received by darkness which will not release him again until the soul has changed its attitude and then, with loving support, it will walk the path of ascent ....

Amen

Recognizing the father's voice ....

B.D. 7657 from July 27th 1960, taken from Book No. 80

You must feel addressed by Me, otherwise you will not recognize the father's voice and My words will sound in your ears. The intellect alone, however, is unable to accomplish this, the intellect alone only sees the letters but does not grasp the spiritual meaning. This can only be understood by the heart, by your spiritual spark, for when I speak to you then the father-spirit expresses Itself in you, Which the spiritual spark hears and conveys to the soul which then recognizes the words as a fatherly address. Anyone who is not touched by the voice, who does not feel addressed by the father when My word is brought to him, consciously or unconsciously shuts himself off from My word .... He either allows his intellect to push itself forward or his will resists it .... he closes his ear and approaches the examination with a bias, which he should certainly carry out with every spiritual knowledge but which he can only do with My support. But I speak to My Own and My Own recognize the father's voice. And what I have to say to people I tell them through My messengers and servants on earth who agree to pass on My word. And this word of Mine was in the beginning and will remain, even if heaven and earth pass away .... For I Myself am the word, the word is My emanation of My strength of love to all beings which are conscious of Me and to which I want to make Myself known. My word is the manifestation of My will, and if the human being is to do My will he must also experience My will and therefore also hear My word which is conveyed to him directly from above through My servants .... Every person should certainly hear My voice within himself, I would like to be able to address every person Myself, yet every person must seriously want to be addressed by Me if he now also wants to hear Me Myself .... And he will be able to hear Me and also recognize My voice as the voice of the father Who loves His child and therefore also reveals Himself to it. And this is proof of My love that I reveal Myself, that I speak to My children in order to give strength to all who allow themselves to be addressed by Me. I have blessed My word with My strength, and everyone can perceive this who, after heartfelt prayer to Me, receives My word in spirit and in truth and gives himself to the effect of My word .... everyone will feel the strength of the word, because it is the direct emanation on My part when I can speak to My Own, when I can make My will known to them and give them words of love and comfort .... And no-one will want to miss this proof of love who has once received it from Me. But he will also always be an eager servant to Me, he will spread My word, for the strength which flows forth from My word will now not let him remain inactive .... he cannot help but work for Me and My kingdom. He is driven by the strength of love which flows through him with the acceptance of My word. Therefore you are all blessed who receive My word .... be it directly or through My messengers, for strength flows to you from above which now never rests .... you will be faithful servants in My vineyard, you will fulfil the mission you have been given .... you will serve Me as fit instruments and help in the redemption of the unfree .... you will speak in My stead to your fellow human beings, who shall all hear My word, so that they shall know about their task in earthly life in order to now also be able to fulfil it .... And your work will be blessed ...._>Amen

Truth not without love ....

B.D. 7658 from July 28th 1960, taken from Book No. 80

People must strive towards Me in all seriousness of their own accord, they must inwardly feel the need to unite with Me, then they will also be guided into right and true thinking and learn to distinguish truth from error. But as long as this serious will is missing, they cannot be given clarity, which is the right of the one who wants to reach Me. The fact that so much error is widespread in the world is largely people's own fault because they did not observe the commandments of love and therefore My adversary entered their hearts, who mentally misled them and they did not recognize the error as such. And thus people will always be far away from the truth who live without love .... But it will be bright in those who take My teaching of love seriously, who make an effort to live a life of love and therefore also awaken their spirit to life. Nevertheless, it is also difficult for them to free themselves from error as long as it is presented to them as truth by those who acknowledge them as leaders .... Yet I only ever value their degree of love .... If they sincerely desire the truth, it will be supplied to them .... If they are unable to separate themselves from their previous knowledge then they will one day come to enlightenment in the kingdom of the beyond in a flash .... But their nature must always have shaped itself into love in order to attain the right realisation, for I evaluate their way of life according to their love, and according to their love will be the degree of light in which they enter the kingdom of the beyond. And thus pure truth is the share of the one who changes to love. For My adversary has no power over this, and error is also recognized as such by him. In the last days before the end love has grown cold among people, therefore they will be receptive to everything that contradicts the truth, whereas they will host the truth and persecute every bearer of truth. And this is a sure sign of the end .... Only a few live in love and only a few walk in truth. But the masses will always stand behind My adversary, error will be accepted as a matter of course and not recognized as error. But then you should also know that the time is fulfilled, for this is the spiritual low, that My adversary has gained dominion over people and that they believe him, i.e. the one who fights against the truth because he is My adversary .... The light fights against darkness, and the darkness is already so deep that the light has difficulty penetrating because people themselves prefer darkness .... But anyone who desires light will also see its rays, for that is where I direct My ray of love-light and it will strike people's hearts and touch them beneficially, and they will no longer want to miss the light. And this light is My word from above .... the pure truth which everyone may receive who seriously desires it and who lives in love. Therefore, first make an effort to live a life of love, and you can be certain that I consider everyone according to his love .... for anyone who has love is not in possession of the adversary, he belongs to Me, and to belong to Me also means to receive My light, whether on earth or in the spiritual kingdom .... To belong to Me means to be enlightened and to inwardly distance oneself from misguided teachings which My adversary has spread in order to separate people from Me .... But the loving human being recognizes Me and strives towards Me .... And he will also reach Me, for love unites him with Me, love brings about the final union with Me, and love also recognizes Me as the Eternal Truth ...._>Amen

Creation evidence of an essential Deity ....

B.D. 7659 from July 29th 1960, taken from Book No. 80

Everything you see around you in creation serves the perfection of the spiritual. Nothing is meaningless and purposeless, everything has its purpose, even if you humans cannot recognize it. But God's wisdom has ruled everywhere where His love created .... His omnipotence brought everything to fruition that wisdom and love wanted .... The whole of creation is the expression of God's strength of love, His immeasurable wisdom and power. And creation is suitable to let people recognize the greatness of a God and creator; it is also suitable to let people believe in a God and creator if only they think about what they see around them. Yet people walk blindly in spirit through earthly life, who pay no attention to what proves God's greatness to them; they cannot see because they do not open their eyes to the wonders of nature .... They take everything for granted and nature tells them nothing because they don't believe. For the believing human being involuntarily remembers the Eternal Deity when he merely delves into a work of creation and reflects on its origin and purpose .... For creation proves a God because it testifies to a lawful order which always requires a Lawgiver and because it reveals the purpose and destiny of every work of creation, which in turn proves a wise, thinking Being Who gave His destiny to everything created. But the human being must also have the will to find out whether an essential Deity seeks to reveal Himself to people through creation .... He must want to think correctly and thus also strengthen his faith by being proven a God and creator through creation .... He must reflect in the will to gain insight into problems which are objects of dispute amongst people .... For there will always be people who seek to deny a God and creator to those who acknowledge Him, who believe in Him .... And in such matters of dispute creation truly serves to provide every person with clarification if only he seriously desires it. And the very seriousness of this desire is decisive for the answer which the human being will now mentally receive .... For the miracles of nature are not human products, but neither are they arbitrarily created works, otherwise they would not reveal the lawful order. For creation is an expression of strength which was directed by a will as long as its results are purposeful and subject to certain laws which always testify to a wise Law Giver. Anyone who asks will receive an answer .... but anyone who gives himself the answer as it suits him, because he does not want to believe in a God and creator, will also certainly err, for his thinking will be wrongly guided by the one who did not want to acknowledge God himself and who is therefore also stricken with spiritual blindness and will never convey the truth to a human being .... Anyone who does not acknowledge God is under the influence of God's adversary, and this influence will always aim to destroy people's every belief in a God and creator .... But the human being can free himself from this influence if he earnestly seeks to know the truth himself, for the desire for truth results in his train of thought being directed such that he can nevertheless attain faith in a God and creator Who reveals Himself to him in the wonders of nature. For God can be recognized by anyone who wants to recognize Him .... And He has so many means of grace at hand which help the human being to believe .... He need only look around and the light of knowledge can be kindled in him if only he is of good will .... Then all works of creation will preach to him of God's love, wisdom and omnipotence .... Then he will be able to believe and never lose his faith again ...._>Amen

Forgiveness through Jesus Christ .... Degree of light and love ....

B.D. 7660 from July 30th 1960, taken from Book No. 80

And you will enter eternal peace, for all adversity will have ceased to exist, all worries and anguish will be over, you will be surrounded by an abundance of light and your life will be a blissfully happy one .... Nevertheless, you must have attained maturity of soul, all guilt of sin must have been taken from you, you must have become My Own during your life on earth and have returned to the Father from Whom you once came forth. Hence, you must have found redemption through Jesus Christ, otherwise you would still not be free from the guilt of sin and your entrance to the kingdom of light and bliss would be closed for you. Therefore you should strive to find forgiveness of the guilt of sin while you are still living on earth. Try .... if you still can't believe in Him as yet .... to find clarification about Jesus, the Son of God and Redeemer of the world. And appeal to Me Myself for conveying this clarification to you so that you can believe in Him with a living faith and subsequently step under His cross with your burden of sin and ask Him for forgiveness .... And all guilt will be taken from you. This will ensure your entrance into the kingdom of light, because Jesus Christ had paid for your guilt with His death on the cross. However, the degrees of light after your death can be quite different, for it depends on your soul's state of maturity as to how light-receptive it has become on earth .... It depends on your way of life on earth and to what extent you lived up to My will .... that is, whether the commandments of love for God and your neighbour had become your guideline for your conduct and you had changed your nature into love. Only the degree of love determines your soul's maturity. And no-one can practise love on your behalf, love is the law of eternal order in which you must live in order to adapt to your fundamental nature again, in order to become My image once more according to your purpose. And to become love means to discard all faults and flaws which still adhere to your soul, to fight against all low cravings, to shape your nature into humility, gentleness, peacefulness, mercy, righteousness and patience .... to dispose of all bad habits and to always remain in heartfelt contact with Me, Whom you acknowledge in Jesus Christ as your Father of eternity. You must fight against all faults during your life on earth, then your soul will become as translucent as a diamond and able to receive the rays of light which signify its beatitude in the spiritual kingdom. Then it will live forever, it will not know death anymore, no sin and no blemish .... it will be pure and clear and thus also worthy of My presence, and it will be able to behold Me face to face .... For it will see its Saviour Jesus Christ, in Whom I made Myself visible to My living creations, just as they once desired .... Shaping yourselves into love must be accomplished by you humans on earth yourselves, if you want to be inconceivably happy one day. Yet first take care to dispose of your burden of sin, for this will draw you down, and being burdened by sin prevents you from entering the kingdom of light. If you find it difficult to believe in Jesus Christ then try to pray to your God and Creator Who called you into life and appeal to Him for enlightenment and for His help to believe .... And I will truly grant you this prayer, I will not leave those in ignorance who desire to know, and I will present the truth to him such that he will be able to accept it .... For faith in Jesus Christ as the Son of God and Redeemer of the world is absolutely essential in order to be accepted into the kingdom of peace and bliss. Only then will you acknowledge Me, Whom you once refused to acknowledge, from Whom you once separated of your own free will and fell into the abyss .... You must want to return to Me voluntarily, and you can make this will known by turning to Jesus Christ and admitting your guilt of sin with an appeal for forgiveness .... Then your sins will be forgiven, I Myself, Who accomplished the act of Salvation in Jesus, the man, will absolve you from them, and I will also help you to attain maturity while you are still on earth, providing you want to unite yourselves with Me, to return to Me voluntarily and to shape yourselves again as you were in the beginning ....

Amen

Importance of the love commandments ....

B.D. 7661 from July 31th 1960, taken from Book No. 80

And if you fulfil My commandments then you belong to Mine, for then love unites us .... Love is My original substance, love created you and love is also the substance of your being. And if you now live in love according to My commandments you will shape yourselves into your original nature again, and then you will join Me, you have become and will remain My Own for all eternity. And now you will also recognize the importance of My commandments of love and understand why I repeatedly emphasize these commandments of love of Mine, why I repeatedly admonish you to spread My Gospel, to proclaim the divine teaching of love and to live a life of love yourselves .... You will also understand that and why you can only become blessed through love. It is not just a matter of doing this or that, for works without love have no value, works without love cannot be valued differently than every earthly action which you carry out in duty .... Love must be the driving force for every action, only then can the change of nature take place in you for the purpose of which you live on earth. And you must kindle love within yourselves, it cannot be practised on your behalf .... for only through love can you approach Me in order to then also be eternally united with Me. Nor can anyone join Me (strive towards Me) who does not have love within himself, for since I am Love Itself the human being himself must also be in love if he wants to recognize Me and strive towards Me .... Love urges love, love seeks union. My love always and forever belongs to you, My living creations, it will always long for you and will do everything to be united with you again. But My love can only unite with love again .... The bond can only be striven for and established on your part, for I am always willing to do so, yet it first requires your will, and this will be just as willing when love has ignited in you which then also irrevocably pushes towards Me. And therefore My commandments of love are of utmost importance .... Everything is worthless without love .... and even if you are earthly blessed as richly as you are, if fame and honour accompany your path through life, if you can prepare earthly pleasures for yourselves without measure .... you are to be called poor if you do not have the love within you which first gives your earthly life the right fulfilment, which prepares you for spiritual life, which ensures your union with Me, which makes you My children and gives you eternal life .... And thus anyone who belongs to My Own also knows about the urgency of My commandments of love, and he will do everything himself to encourage his fellow human beings to work in love, he will set an example for them, he will not be able to help but do good, think good and speak good .... For he is filled with love, and the union with Me ensures his right thinking and right will. And his whole way of life will be determined by love. Yet without love the human being is and remains dead in spirit, he can neither recognize the truth nor feel it as blissful .... Without love he is blind in spirit, he lacks every ray of light which illuminates his inner being .... Without love he remains attached to My adversary, and he is already wretched on earth and also enters the kingdom of the beyond in this wretched state .... just as again only love is able to change his wretched fate .... just as he can only achieve ascent through love, because this is the law from eternity that love belongs to beatitude ...._>Amen

Rescue from the darkness ....

B.D. 7662 from August 1st 1960, taken from Book No. 80

In the darkness My adversary has dominion over the souls but nevertheless they are not completely written off, for My grace and mercy also occasionally sends sparks of light into the abyss which light up those souls and can now be heeded by them, depending on their will. They can also escape this darkness if they want to follow the sparks of light, then they cannot be prevented by My adversary because he himself flees every ray of light which emanates from Me and thus clears the way for the souls. Therefore every spark of light can have a redeeming effect .... but also remain unnoticed by the souls, which then means further perseverance in the abyss. Again and again individual souls break away from the darkness and long for the light, and these are then also guaranteed ascent. Admittedly, they are not immediately willing to accept My Gospel when it is presented to them, they also often return to the abyss again .... but no ray of love light remains completely without impression once they have let it take effect in them. And therefore, for the time being only a soul's free will is necessary to follow the sparks of light, because the souls are not forced to do so and because the spark of light can also only ever light up so strongly that it does not necessarily affect the souls. But the souls, whom loving intercession follows into eternity, are mostly charitably touched by the sparks and they follow them .... And then the souls are led to where they can receive small teachings which make them thoughtful. But right children of the world are difficult to impress, for their thoughts still dwell in the world and they often don't know that they have already had to exchange the earthly world for the spiritual world .... These souls also always stay close to earth, where their longing draws them, because they cannot easily detach themselves from these places. Long times can often pass before these souls understand the state they are in if they are not taken care of by people in loving intercession .... Don't forget to include such souls in your intercession, for you humans can help them, you can release them from the densest darkness if you don't leave them out of your thoughts, if you call them to you and proclaim the Gospel of love to them .... If you call them they will also listen to you, for they don't resist love .... because they feel it as an influx of strength and feel beneficially touched by it in their powerless state. Loving intercession can cause the soul to constantly stay close to the person and also pursue the blessing of love .... and this can bring about a change of mind, for which otherwise the souls often need eternal times. But love is a great power .... And thus love will always remain victorious, and souls will be rescued from the abyss which are followed by love into eternity. For for the sake of your love My work of mercy can also be carried out on the souls in the beyond .... For the sake of your love I can send strength to the souls as soon as they want to use it for loving activity. And then their ascent into the spiritual kingdom will also be assured .... But first they have to find Jesus .... And therefore you humans should proclaim the Gospel of love to the souls in the beyond and make the knowledge of Jesus Christ accessible to them .... And according to their will and attitude towards Him their own salvation will also take place sooner or later, for Jesus is also in the kingdom of the beyond their Saviour and Deliverer from all adversity .... Jesus also follows the souls into the abyss and He seeks to lift them up into the light, and then the souls will also recognize Me Myself in Jesus, they will seek and find Me Myself and I will be able to introduce them into the kingdom of light and beatitude ...._>Amen

Forwarding the truth is mandatory ....

B.D. 7663 from August 2nd 1960, taken from Book No. 80

It is a blessed beginning to convey the truth to fellow human beings when the human being himself is in the grace to possess it .... The truth is a gift from God, Who is the Eternal Truth; and He sends it to those who believe in Him and keep His commandments .... who live in love. And the truth will always inspire .... But the human being who fulfils the commandment of neighbourly love must .... what makes him happy himself also turn to his fellow human being, otherwise he lacks love, otherwise he makes himself unworthy of the possession of truth .... But love urges the human being from within to only ever give and make happy. And thus he will also gladly want to pass on the truth, and fellow human beings can then also be addressed by God Himself, for receiving the truth is synonymous with the transmission of the divine word which He Himself guides to earth. Truth can only emanate from God Himself, and it will always be emanated into a vessel which voluntarily opens itself to receive .... If God wants to convey the truth to earth then He does so through His word or through the right direction of thoughts, yet always such that the human being is convinced that he has been guided into truth by God Himself. For not all people hear the voice of God Himself, not all people know or believe that God speaks to them directly if the human being fulfils the prerequisites for this .... Nevertheless, the human being can move in right thinking and then he, too, will stand in truth, only he has to fulfil the same conditions which guarantee the supply of divine truth: He must have a living faith in God and have gained this faith through a life of love .... He has to approach Him for the truth, he has to appeal to Him that God may enlighten his spirit and guide his thinking correctly. And then God will truly give him the truth which will make him inwardly happy. But then he also has the duty to lead his fellow human being to the same realisation of truth, to show him the way how he can come into possession of truth .... He must stimulate him to love, which then results in living faith, and he must awaken the desire for truth in him so that he, too, will feel the joy of thinking correctly. The human being himself will always feel joy at being able to communicate with his neighbour when he possesses the truth himself, for he is now constantly urged to exchange ideas with his fellow human beings, to speak and counter-speak and to solve unresolved problems, because he is now also spiritually awakened, because he lives a spiritual life next to the earthly one, because truth is the path to life and constantly impels him into activity .... to work as a servant in God's vineyard for God and His kingdom .... He will now experience blessings himself and spread blessings, because truth is a gift from God and everything that comes from God radiates blessings. What comes from God will also always lead back to God, and it is the human being's destiny to seek and find God in earthly life in order to unite with Him eternally .... And God can only be recognized through truth, therefore He Himself guides this to people because He wants to be recognized and loved so that His living creations will turn to Him and strive for unification with Him .... And therefore every person who possesses the truth should also pass it on, because then he will also help his fellow human beings to learn to recognize and love Him, and because then his fellow human beings will also take the path which leads to God .... because then they will attain the life they will never lose again ...._>Amen

Right attitude to the work of redemption ....

B.D. 7664 from August 3rd 1960, taken from Book No. 80

Jesus' crucifixion was the act of atonement for the sins of all humanity. He took all humanity's sins upon Himself when He walked the path to the cross, for He suffered unspeakably both physically and spiritually because the guilt of sin He wanted to atone for was too great. It was the original sin of the spiritual beings' apostasy from God which people would never have been able to atone for themselves, and it was the sin which all people commit in earthly life .... Yet He offered the sacrifice on the cross in love in order to redeem people. No human being is aware of the magnitude of this act of mercy, and no human being can appreciate during earthly life what unheard-of grace it means that he can turn to Jesus Christ for forgiveness of his great guilt. For only this forgiveness opens the gate to the kingdom of light for him, because a being burdened by guilt can never enter that kingdom, because it would have to remain in the kingdom of darkness forever if it did not have this forgiveness through Jesus Christ .... And no human being can measure the torment and pain the man Jesus suffered for sinful humanity, which was only ended by the most bitter death on the cross .... No human being can measure the suffering and humiliation He took upon Himself out of love for His fellow human beings, whom He knew to be in deepest spiritual need .... He wanted to remove this great adversity from people, He wanted to smooth the path to the father for them, who were His fallen brothers, He wanted to redeem their guilt of sin because this required God's 'justice', that atonement was made for this guilt of sin. But people have to acknowledge His act of salvation .... they must want Him to die for them too, they themselves must confess their guilt before Him and ask Him for forgiveness .... This is all that is required of them in order to then also be released from their sinfulness, in order to be entitled to the spiritual kingdom again, where there is freedom and light and bliss .... Acknowledging Jesus Christ, the divine redeemer, and taking the path to Him oneself .... is all that is required of people but which every person also has to do of his own free will in order to belong to the redeemed for whom He shed His blood .... The act of salvation has taken place for all people of the past, the present and the future .... But one's own free will is necessary for the human being himself to become free from his guilt of sin, otherwise the whole spiritual world would be redeemed abruptly and would also make a life on earth superfluous if there were only 'redeemed' souls after the death of the cross .... Free will is not eliminated for this redemption, and thus the human being himself must want Jesus to redeem him too through His death .... He has to want to belong to the redeemed and thus consciously ask Him for it. And all people should realize that they themselves must first have the right attitude towards Him, the divine redeemer .... they should believe in Him and unite with Him in thought, they should pray to Him that He may save them, that He may liberate them from sin and its consequences .... And therefore they must acknowledge Him. But then they will have a living faith and thus also the right attitude towards Him, and then they will also belong to those for whom His blood flowed on the cross. Without Him and His redemption, however, the human being will remain in darkness, he will remain in the kingdom which belongs to God's adversary, he will have no connection with God Who embodied Himself in Jesus, he will be outside of those for whom Jesus died on the cross. And then he cannot be saved from spiritual adversity either, then he will collapse under the burden of sin and be unable to rise again without help .... For only the divine redeemer Jesus Christ can free him from his guilt ...._>Amen

Faith in God in free will ....

B.D. 7665 from August 4th 1960, taken from Book No. 80

My strength of love flows into every human heart when it opens itself to receive it. And My strength of love causes the spark of love to ignite itself and the flame to leap towards Me, the Father-Spirit of eternity. And thus the path to Me is unimpeded, it was started purely by the will to be illuminated by Me and My love, in other words, anyone with a positive attitude towards Me, anyone who believes in Me and wants to stay in contact with Me, will also receive My divine strength of love. And then he will advance in his development, for this is the effect of My strength. Hence the human being first has to believe in a God and Creator and recognise himself as My living creation, for only then will his desire awaken to enter into contact with Me, and then he will open himself to Me, thus willingly allowing himself to be illuminated by My strength of love, for only this willingness is required for it to happen. But it is difficult for a person to be affected by this ray of love if he does not believe in Me, if he merely regards himself to be a product of nature and therefore never establishes a bond either, because he refuses to acknowledge a Being Which has created him.

An extraordinary occurrence could certainly allow him to gain faith in Me, yet he may never be compellingly influenced or his faith would be worthless. And all proof of My existence is compelling. Even My Word would be compelling evidence were I to speak to people directly from above, so that everyone would have to hear My voice and believe in Me .... Such faith, however, is of no value .... Yet My Word is conveyed to humanity all the same, I merely avail Myself of a human form and speak through it directly .... but I leave each person the freedom to believe or disbelief whether these Words are spoken by a supremely perfect Being .... Free will is always decisive, and faith can never be forcibly attained. And even if I Myself revealed the most profound wisdom to people it would nevertheless not suffice to persuade a person into believing in Me if he doesn't want to ....

Alternatively, however, it is enough to give evidence of Myself to a person .... The human being can gain such convinced faith through My Word that no power of hell can take it away from him. For My Word is an illumination of love which can touch the human heart, which can trigger the love that grants him radiant enlightenment .... And then love will be pushing towards love .... Then a light will be kindled within the heart, the radiance of which dissolves all that is dark, which completely drives away the darkness .... which bestows a living faith upon a person, which is unshakable and withstands every onslaught that time and again is launched by hostile forces .... And thus it will always be up to the human being himself as to whether he allows himself to be touched by My ray of love, for he has to open himself voluntarily .... he has to want to enter into contact with Me as his God and Creator; he has to believe that he has emerged from the hand of a perfect Being and that he cannot sever the connection with this Being .... Then he will acknowledge Me, and only then will he look for Me and I will let Myself be found ....

Amen

Instituted Words ....

B.D. 7666 from August 5th 1960, taken from Book No. 80

It will always be beneficial for you when you are touched by My flow of grace, for nothing flowing forth from Me remains ineffective if it is willingly accepted. And a willing acceptance is guaranteed when you turn to Me in prayer, when you desire to be blessed by Me .... when you desire My Words. And thus it is My will that you learn how I want you to understand My Word, 'Do this in remembrance of Me ....' For you derived from this a practice in which you literally hand out bread and wine and by eating this bread and drinking the wine you are convinced of having accepted Me Myself in you .... But the correct meaning of My Words has not been understood by you. Yet precisely the acceptance of 'bread and wine' is very important, but I want My Word with its strength to be understood by this. You cannot become blessed if you don't listen to My Word, the bread of life, the manna which comes from heaven .... You must let yourselves be addressed by Me, I Myself Am the Word Which became flesh for you humans .... When I lived on earth I distributed the bread of life open-handedly; I spoke to all people and nourished the souls of those who were of good will .... I gave them bread and wine, My Word which I had blessed with My strength .... I educated My disciples into becoming true proclaimers of My Word because they were intended to spread My Word across the world .... for all people need food for their souls, all people were meant to 'eat My flesh and drink My blood', My Word was to be made accessible to all people in the same way as it had come forth from Me Myself; they should receive purest truth, which only the Eternal Truth Itself was able to provide. However, My life on earth only lasted for a short time. And during this time I prepared My disciples for their teaching ministry .... And when the hour of My leaving approached, when I took Supper with My disciples before My arduous path to Golgotha .... I assigned them to their task .... I pointed out their mission to inform the world about Me, My teaching and also about that which was still ahead of Me and therefore said the Words, 'Go ye into all the world ....', I broke the bread and passed it to them as well as the cup with the wine .... and My disciples knew that I termed the bread and the wine as 'flesh and blood, that I spoke to them figuratively and they understood that I expected them to take My Word to people, so that they would remember Me and never ever forget Me again. They knew that they were meant to distribute to their fellow human beings in the same way as I had distributed the bread and the wine to them .... And thus I undoubtedly inaugurated My disciples into the ministry for which I had educated them ....

However, at no time ever did I institute such a communion service as you humans have assumed from My Words. It had never been My will that you humans should perform an act and in so doing expect a result which, however, requires other prerequisites than merely the acceptance of bread and wine .... Understand that it was the instruction for My disciples to go into the world and to spread the Gospel .... To proclaim My Word to people which, in truth, is My flesh and My blood, the bread from the heavens, and which is and will remain indispensable for people who try to find union with Me and who will also have found it when I can speak to them directly, when My strength can pour directly into them and thus result in the unification which is the purpose and goal of life on earth. But the first condition is that the human being shapes himself into love, for he cannot accept Me Myself .... My Word, My flesh and My blood .... if he lacks love .... I Myself Am Love. I can only unite with love again. Hence it is not possible for Me to enter the heart of a person who carries out the external act, who digests the bread and wine but whose heart is utterly devoid of love .... For I do not understand 'love' as an emotional response which confronts Me at that instant, instead, I understand it as a quelled selfish love which expresses itself in neighbourly love, and which therefore also testifies to love for Me. This is a true union with Me in which I can speak to him, in which he is offered My flesh and My blood, My Word with its strength. Then the human being will constantly keep Me in mind, he will start and end everything with Me, he will always endeavour to live according to My will and take the path of higher development .... he will reach the goal, he will attain eternal life and beatitude ....

Amen

Concern for soul paramount .... Promise ....

B.D. 7667 from August 6th 1960, taken from Book No. 80

Every spiritual request will be granted to you. For as soon as you are concerned about your soul's salvation you also recognize the meaning and purpose of your earthly life and try to live up to it. And because you know that your spiritual development requires spiritual help you request it and it will be granted to you. Everything that helps the soul to ascend will be given to you because you think of your soul first and thus also seek My kingdom with its righteousness. And then My promise will also come true that you will be given everything else you need in order to be able to live your earthly life. But from this you will see that it is far better for you to take care of your soul's salvation and to appeal for spiritual help for it than to worry about earthly needs or to approach Me for such, because your earthly life is secured at the same time if you first take the spiritual state into account, if you first think of the soul and strive for My kingdom. The care for your soul's salvation should be a priority, you should want to help it, to provide it with what it needs in terms of nourishment .... You should remedy your soul's adversity, you should not let it go hungry and always appeal for My support, for strength and grace and constant care through Me Myself .... You should hand your soul over to Me so that I will guide it onto the right path which leads upwards. And even if you no longer take earthly life so seriously it will nevertheless take place in all order, for I Myself will take care of you because you endeavour to bring your spiritual life into the right order. And this always happens when you appeal to Me for strength and grace for your path of life. Then you will also recognize the right meaning and purpose of your existence, and then your maturing will also be assured. The soul will progress in its development, you will reach the right aim. Anyone who is concerned about his spiritual well-being already has the right realisation, he knows why he lives this earthly life, and he is also in contact with Me, otherwise he would not appeal to Me Myself for strength and grace which he needs for the soul's ascent. But anyone who is united with Me, whose earthly path has not been travelled in vain .... anyone who is united with Me, the light of realisation also shines for him, and therefore he constantly approaches Me for strength from Me because he recognizes the influx of strength as his original state, and thus he also opens his heart to My illumination of love .... He asks Me and I give Myself to him and thus fill him with light and strength. And no spiritual request will go unheard at My ear, for spiritual requests have been sent to Me in spirit and in truth which always touch the father's ear and cause Him to make Himself His own to His child because He loves it and also wants to be recognized and loved by it as father ...._>Amen

'It is finished ....'

B.D. 7668 from August 7th 1960, taken from Book No. 80

The One who allowed Himself to be nailed to the cross on behalf of your sins has truly accomplished the act of redeeming humanity from sin and death. For I Myself dwelled in the human being Jesus, thus it was not a mere human being who accomplished an act which should only be judged in an earthly sense, but I Myself took pity upon the whole of humanity and atoned for its sin in order to enable its return to Me, which had become impossible for every single person because of the original sin, that is, the guilt of the past apostasy from Me and the fall into the abyss. It must repeatedly be emphasised that I Myself have offered the sacrifice in a human shell .... And it must be stressed that 'Love' made this sacrifice, but that I Myself Am the Eternal Love. You humans are unable to comprehend the full depth of this act, but you can be certain that it was not 'human work', even though the human being Jesus sacrificed His life on the cross; yet it only happened so that humanity would take notice and become aware of its enormous guilt, the redemption of which required an exceptional deed which was and will remain unique. Thereby the complete redemption was accomplished so that it only depends on the human being's will to release himself from the guilt of sin which burdens him for as long as he does not acknowledge Jesus Christ's act of Salvation. The act of Salvation has been accomplished for all time .... It need not be repeated, it covers the redemption of all once-fallen spiritual beings because I Myself attended to it, for the sake of My love I Myself wanted to remove the guilt and for the sake of justice I made amends for it. The enormous extent of suffering the human shell had to endure was sufficient atonement for Me .... However, the human being Jesus would have been unable to endure the extent of suffering by Himself had the Love in Him not enabled Him to do so. Time and again I stress that this act of Salvation is and will remain unique, because its redemptive effect will last for all eternity. As long as fallen spirits still exist, the divine Redeemer Jesus Christ will also be mentioned, and the acknowledgment of His act of Salvation will always liberate people from the guilt of their past apostasy from Me and, truly, no further sacrifice of atonement will be necessary because I Myself accomplished this sacrifice for all eternity .... Thus you humans should be satisfied with this explanation and not pay attention to satanically-inclined events which cannot be brought into harmony with My act of Salvation. For if ever My act of Salvation is described as incomplete, if ever people are shown a path to happiness other than the path to the cross, then the divine working of the spirit cannot be spoken of; then there will be forces at work which seek to prevent your redemption, which try to deter you from Me, Who wants to be recognised and acknowledged in Jesus Christ .... In that case you should be careful, for My adversary knows how to present himself in an angel's garment of light and then you will find it difficult to expose him. But always call upon Jesus Christ, Who certainly recognises His enemy and adversary, and appeal to Him for protection. For He and I are One, and if you pray to Me for correct thinking and for protection in every spiritual adversity then you will no longer have to worry, for then you will be guided wherever you go, the 'redemption' will reveal itself in you .... and you will clearly and assuredly recognise which way you will have to take and where danger threatens you. I have redeemed you from all sins, for My crucifixion was the atonement for your guilt. And this act of atonement cannot be lessened by My adversary, nevertheless he will continue to try to influence you humans such that you become unsure and start to doubt Me as your Redeemer Jesus Christ .... For during the time of the end many false Christs and false prophets will arise and try to pull you onto wrong paths. Then you shall be strong in faith and know that you should only keep to Jesus Christ, because by doing so you acknowledge Me Myself and call upon Me as a Father in every adversity and distress of body and soul ....

Amen

The soul consciously enters its embodiment ....

B.D. 7669 from August 8th 1960, taken from Book No. 80

You start your earthly path entirely aware of what is in store for you and voluntarily give your approval .... But your past memory will be taken away from you again; otherwise you would cover your earthly progress under a certain amount of compulsion which would not be beneficial for your soul. Therefore you should not complain about this or that stroke of fate, for they are all merely the means which are intended to help your souls attain maturity and which, with the right attitude, will indeed lead you to perfection. Thus your will needs to aim in the right direction, this is the test of earthly life which you should pass and the reason for your life on earth. When you incarnate as a human being all obstacles seem easily surmountable to you, and you gladly take them upon yourselves because you realise that it is the last embodiment in a shell, that you can live in complete freedom after your earthly progress is over. And it is indeed possible for you to liberate yourselves from the physical form through this earthly life if you always appeal to God for support. Thereby the soul demonstrates that it wants to fulfil its purpose on earth, it demonstrates that it acknowledges God and desires Him or it would not call upon Him for His help. And then the soul will be able to overcome even the most severe strokes of fate, it will never have to bear them alone but receive much spiritual support, so that its earthly progress will also show periods of relief and it will always emerge from every test more mature. Yet without such trials it will be unable to progress in its development. It receives this realisation prior to its embodiment as a human being, and it does not refuse to take the path on earth. If, however, it retained its past memory then its intention and actions would hardly be free, it would constantly act under compulsion as well as out of fear of what is to come, even if it weren't granted complete clarification and knowledge of it. Nevertheless, as human beings you should know that you voluntarily accepted your earthly fate, and this knowledge should reassure you, insofar as that you should always remember that your complete liberation from the physical shell is possible, just as your earthly progress is destined too. You should be aware of the fact that you may always receive spiritual support, that God Himself wants you to return to Him and that He yearns for you, thus He will leave no stone unturned in order to make your return easier, and that you therefore need not fear anything which is destined to come upon you .... For with His help you will be able to surmount everything, with His help you will succeed in becoming master over His adversary who still keeps you enchained .... He has no more power over you if you desire God, Who is Father to all of you .... Who fought in Jesus Christ against His and your enemy and Who defeated him too. And you need only ever pray to Him for strength, He will always stand by your side, He Himself will provide you with strength when it concerns living life on earth successfully .... when it concerns overcoming everything that is difficult, that is imposed on you by destiny, so that you will mature fully while you are still on earth, so that you achieve liberation from every shell and will be able to enter the spiritual kingdom as free beings ....

Amen

Apostasy and return of essence .... Love of God ....

B.D. 7670 from August 9th 1960, taken from Book No. 80

You may have fallen away from Me but you still belong to Me, since it was My strength which made you arise .... And you also have the divine spiritual spark within you, which is My share, which is and remains indissolubly connected with the father-spirit from eternity .... So you are Mine .... but you yourselves, your free will, have created a distance between us; you have consciously strayed from Me, you have loosened the bond with Me, you have distanced yourselves abysmally from Me .... Admittedly, only willingly, for you are and nevertheless remain My Own, otherwise you would not be able to exist if I wanted to completely sever the bond between us and thus separated Myself from you. Then My strength of love could no longer be in you which secures your existence, you would disintegrate into nothing if I wanted to completely withdraw My strength from you. But this cannot and will not happen eternally, because My strength is love which let you arise, and because love will never ever destroy what has emerged from it. You are My creatures .... created by the will of the one who is now My adversary and will remain so for eternities .... But when you were created My strength of love flowed into My first-created spirit and enabled it to create in the first place, and thus you were products of My strength of love which was utilized by it through its will to create beings which could never pass away again. But through his stimulation and through your free will you placed yourselves into a state which excluded My nearness, and thus I was no longer able to make you happy either, as was the case in the beginning. For My radiance of love meant unlimited bliss for the being which, however, it voluntarily relinquished or rejected when it willingly distanced itself from Me. Nevertheless, it will remain My Being for all eternity, and it will certainly change its state again one day, it will emerge from the imperfection into which it had placed itself into the state of perfection again and then also come close to Me again of its own free will, and then it will also be able to be blissfully happy again as it once was .... But for this reason I do not relinquish My right to My living creations either, because they emerged from My love. But since their free will once turned more towards My present adversary, he also had a right to these creatures, which gave rise to our mutual love. And I will not deny him this right, but I will also never stop influencing My creations such that they voluntarily take the path of return to Me without, however, forcing them. And My adversary does the same, who uses everything to finally win the creatures over for himself but likewise cannot use any coercion. And now it will be decided who is stronger and what is stronger: love or hatred .... Love will win the victory, for My love never ends .... it pursues the beingness into the deepest depths, it does not let anything fall, it does not separate itself eternally from the beings it has created, and one day it will also achieve that the being will open itself again to the love it once rejected .... that it will let itself be illuminated by Me again and slowly change itself back to its original being, which was love .... It belongs to Me and will also eternally not be let go by Me, I will follow it with My love, I will do everything to also win its love, and love is of such strength that everything is possible for it, that it defeats the strongest enemy, that it breaks the strongest resistance, that the being will once give itself to Me again and then eternally no longer be able to sink, that it will enjoy unlimited bliss at the father's heart, Who never ever lets His child perish ...._>Amen

Process of change .... Self-shaping towards perfection ....

B.D. 7671 from August 11th 1960, taken from Book No. 80

You all carry the divine spiritual spark within you .... consequently, you are all My share, because this spark cannot eternally detach itself from the father-spirit. And this spark is love, thus My fundamental substance, and thus you are My emanated strength of love which has hardened in its substance into material form, which already contains matured strength within itself .... the soul .... which in turn encloses the spark of love from Me which establishes the bond between you and Me. Although your will once dissolved this bond it still exists in truth, for you cannot detach yourselves from Me eternally, you are and remain Mine in time and eternity. And I will not relinquish My right to you either, because the strength once emanated by Me must, according to the law of eternity, also flow back to Me again. However, the time of distance from Me, which was thus voluntarily striven for on your part, simultaneously serves for a process of change .... that the beings created by Me shape themselves in free will such that they correspond to My image .... which is why I did not prevent their former apostasy from Me. And this process of change can take eternal times because the being's free will is decisive. But it will come to an end one day, and then I will have achieved what I wanted: eternally free, blissful creations which, standing in highest perfection, create and work with Me .... I then have children whom even My omnipotence could not create, who had to shape themselves into this according to the law of eternity .... And whether a person still stands so far apart from Me, whether he also connects with all forces of hell during earthly life, he is My share and will remain so until he has found his way back to Me, until he has returned to his former exit, for I leave nothing to My adversary forever, but even this adversary will surrender to Me one day, he too will return to Me, for he too is an emanation of love from Me which will irrevocably take the path to Me again, even if eternities pass over it. The work of shaping itself into highest perfection first required its detachment from Me, because the being, in all independence and freedom of will, now had to tackle this work: to strive for perfection with all its strength and to strive towards the father-spirit again, as Whose share it remains, even if the being has still distanced itself so far from Me, even if it has still fallen so far through its own fault. It can never ever completely detach itself from Me, and therefore it must one day return to its origin again, because I will eternally hold and pull it, even though I never touch free will. But when it has returned to Me it will also be indescribably happy, for the being can only find its beatitude in union with Me, and this union must have been fully consciously striven for, for the bond exists and has always existed, even if the being still turned away from Me itself, even if it voluntarily detached itself from Me and no longer believed in Me .... I will not drop anything that has emerged from My strength of love, and I will also once achieve My aim that the being will voluntarily return to Me .... And then a being like Me will be allowed to dwell by My side, then it will have accomplished the work of shaping itself, then I will call children My own and they will be indescribably happy .... And therefore nothing can be eternally lost that once emerged as a being from My strength of love .... Everything will return to Me one day, because a complete detachment can never take place, because all creatures are and will remain Mine for all eternity ...._>Amen

Vast distance from God .... End ....

B.D. 7672 from August 12th 1960, taken from Book No. 80

The fact that people have distanced themselves from Me to such an extent is an obvious sign of the times, for thereby they hasten the end themselves since earthly life no longer fulfils its purpose .... that people look for and find unification with Me .... Their earthly existence was only given to them for one reason: to take the last step in their return to Me, to eliminate the distance they had once created themselves through their apostasy from Me.

In earthly life they are now granted the final opportunity to understand their wrongdoing which made them fall into an abysmal distance from Me ....As a result of My love and grace this distance has already been so reduced by way of the path through the works of creation that they have now reached the point of return to Me which, however, has to occur in free will, and therefore the once fallen spirits were granted the short time of earthly life which fully suffices in order to reach the final goal .... the union with Me.

Yet people fail to consider the purpose of their earthly life, they look at everything with earthly-minded eyes, they don't decrease their distance from Me, in fact, they are more likely to increase it because they lack love and this always signifies a vast distance from Me. And thus the time has come where earth no longer serves as a place of spiritual education, where it is missing its purpose .... where it has become pointless for the human being to live on earth because he only uses his stay wrongly and is far more inclined to extend his distance from Me. And this means that the human being's soul is in utmost danger of being banished into matter again, of descending into the deepest abyss once more. And therefore a large transformation is about to happen to you humans to enable the earth to fulfil its purpose again: helping the soul to attain maturity.

Hence present-day people hasten the end of the old earth themselves, for I want to restore the old order and let the earth become a place of education for the spirit once more which, however, necessitates disintegrating and reshaping the creations, including those people who do not recognise the meaning and purpose of earthly life and just live a purely material life without taking their souls into consideration. And regardless of what I will still allow to happen until then, it will no longer lead to a change in people except in a few who will find Me in the last hour, and whom I also want to save from their downfall.

People no longer believe in Me with a living faith, and a dead faith cannot awaken the souls to life. For people live without love. They no longer take notice of their fellow human beings' hardship, they just feel great love for themselves and this love drives them back into the adversary's arms again, and so they steadily widen their distance to Me, given that love alone establishes unification with Me and heartlessness merely proves their remoteness from Me. Hence the time which separates you humans from the end is getting ever shorter .... whether you believe it or not .... It is the lawful consequence of humanity's heartlessness which only a very change into love would be able to revoke but which can no longer be expected on this earth.

Earthly life is purely a matter of the soul becoming fully mature .... yet no-one is aware of this task incumbent on him apart from the small flock of My Own who, although they will be unable to stop the transformation of this earth, will nevertheless inhabit the new earth as the root of the new human race. Their fate will be an exceptionally glorious one, which people should truly regard as the most important thing to strive for in these last days .... yet it is never believed and no person can be forced to believe it. However, time and again you shall be informed of it, for I will let My voice be heard until the end and remind and warn all people, and until the last day every person will still have the opportunity to change himself .... to strive for another goal rather than purely the material world .... And blessed is he who still uses the short time to change his nature to love; for he will not have to fear the end because then he, too, will belong to My Own who will be protected and saved by My strong arm ....

Amen

Warning about communicating with the beyond ....

B.D. 7673 from August 14th 1960, taken from Book No. 81

It is My will that you should turn to Me in heartfelt prayer before you make contact with spiritual beings, because it depends on this heartfelt prayer whether the contact with the spirit world will be beneficial for you. Heartfelt prayer protects you from beings who cannot benefit you since they are not yet enlightened themselves .... But you yourselves do not know whether the souls of the deceased called by you have already entered the kingdom of light, for even if they confirm it you cannot know whether their statements are credible. Hence you should approach such contacts with the spiritual world very cautiously, because you yourselves already have to be in a spiritual setting which deters all evil, so that nothing can touch you and you are only taken care of and taught by beings of light. Dealing with the souls of the deceased is always very dangerous because you humans do not know which sphere they occupy. Although such conduct is not a sin if you are motivated by your love for these souls, but you yourselves won't gain anything and are more likely to lose if you thereby come into contact with dark spheres and receive misguided teachings or messages which are not beneficial for your soul. Consequently, I strongly warn you against such dealings with the spiritual world for your own sakes ....

Irrespective of what you are told by this world .... it will never match the profundity and wisdom of My Word, which is transmitted to you humans by My love from above and conveyed to you by messengers of light, if you are not able to receive it from Me directly .... I Myself want to be your friend and teacher, your brother, Whom you can approach with any kind of question, be it earthly or spiritually .... And I will always answer you if you desire it. I will tell you that you have to take the path to Jesus Christ if you want to achieve beatitude. And thus you yourselves should inform the souls of the dead too and direct them in thought to Him, Who is everyone's Redeemer from sin and death .... For even these souls will have to find him first before they can be admitted into the kingdom of light. You cannot provide a greater service of love to these souls than to proclaim the Gospel to them in thought, the divine teaching of love, which I preached Myself in the man Jesus in order to show them the path of return to Me, into the Father's house. You have to want to help the souls of the deceased, you have to give to them .... and not accept instructions from them, irrespective of what kind they are.

The knowledge about the future is withheld from you by Me, thus you should not raise questions of this kind to them ....

However, you should always desire spiritual knowledge, but this cannot be given to you by these souls. Nevertheless you can always ask Jesus Christ, the divine Teacher. He will lovingly enlighten you and always call you to Himself to appeal to Him for forgiveness of sin, to follow Him, in order to be guided by Him into the kingdom of light and bliss .... But without Him you cannot become blessed .... You should remember this, and if it is your will to live in accordance with My will then you will also live up to everything Jesus had taught on earth, what He expressed in His commandments of love for God and your neighbour: Then you will live in love yourselves and recognise where light can be found .... then you will be able to discern the value of spiritual communications and endeavour only to contact the spiritual world of light which can then transmit clarifying instructions to you. For you yourselves always determine the degree of light which you find yourselves in .... But be warned that dealing with spiritual beings is dangerous if you do not know the degree of maturity of the souls you are questioning .... Always remember that you should give to these souls, for they will all need your intercession in order to ascend, thus you should give it lovingly for their, as well as for your own, salvation of soul .... And then you will receive as you have given ....

Amen

Enigmatic earth fates .... (Welkisch)

B.D. 7674 from August 16th 1960, taken from Book No. 81

Only the spirit can guide you into truth, into deeper knowledge about unexplained processes, and therefore you can only gain information about God in this way, and you have to ask Him for it. But then you will certainly be instructed truthfully, you need not fear that wrong knowledge will be presented to you, for God Himself is the truth and He also wants to grant you humans the truth if you desire it: an unusual occasion has caused the embodiment of a human being who lives an unusual life on this earth. There are individual fates which are and will remain mysterious to people because they cannot understand the spiritual processes which underlie such a fate. The will to take upon itself a difficult earthly life has then earned a being its embodiment, and as a human being it now has to prove its will again .... it has to live an earthly life which seems unbearable for its fellow human beings and gives rise to many doubts and questions .... But you humans will never be able to explain it to yourselves because the spiritual motives cannot be made comprehensible to you, which, however, consisted of most serious transgressions against God's love, which took place in the spirit kingdom and require repeated earthly progress in several redemption periods in order to experience the just compensation one day. For even if this being has travelled the path through matter .... it has fallen again and again and misused God's love to do something contrary to Him. Nevertheless, God's love does not abandon such a being, but the conditions of redemption become increasingly more difficult because the depth of the fall is decisive as well as the strength of the light in which the being was when it fell into the abyss. There have been original spirits of utmost abundance of light which once rebelled against God, and these original spirits sometimes recognize the magnitude of their past guilt of sin and therefore also take upon themselves an earthly life under the most difficult conditions in order to return to God again .... but as soon as they are in possession of free will they misuse it and add ever greater guilt to their original sin, which also demands ever more severe atonement .... And it is these who also resisted redemption through Jesus Christ when He descended into hell in order to redeem these spirits as well .... They did not acknowledge Jesus' deity and therefore also remained opposed to God, and yet God's love did not give up even such apostate beings but again and again created opportunities for them to pay off their guilt, and it is up to the being itself whether it allows itself to be held by His love when it covers the earthly path as a human being .... whether it fulfils the conditions it accepted before its embodiment as a human being in order to one day become free from its bound state. In all freedom of will the act of return to God must now be accomplished, and no matter how incomprehensible it may be to fellow human beings that God's love is now also at work .... But you humans don't know the magnitude of guilt and the spiritual being's resistance against Jesus Christ, you don't know what preceded such a human fate, what underlies it; you don't know why a human being has to suffer unusually. And it cannot be explained to you in any other way either, because spiritual processes cannot be reproduced in words and because a certain degree of maturity is first necessary in order to attain and understand fullest enlightenment, which only the spirit from God can impart .... but then will also impart it when it is necessary for people's salvation of soul. But first try to muster understanding and give love to all beings which have to suffer so that they will one day find redemption ...._>Amen

Scrutinising spiritual knowledge ....

B.D. 7675 from August 17th 1960, taken from Book No. 81

Anything you receive in the form of spiritual information needs to be scrutinised by you first, otherwise you won't know whether you receive truth or error, in which case the spiritual knowledge will be of little use to you. And you can only ever make this test after heartfelt prayer for spiritual enlightenment and by comparing it with the divine Word which is conveyed to you from above. Only when they recognisably correspond to each other can you unhesitatingly accept and dwell on it. But this correspondence must be recognisable, otherwise it is not of divine origin and you may reject it. Anyone who thus turns to God Himself for support by appealing to Him for enlightenment of thinking need not fear being deceived, for his thinking will be guided such that he will notice every contradiction and recognise it as error. But the adversary works with much cunning and trickery and does not shy away from shrouding himself in the garment of an angel in order to delude people, for he is an enemy of truth. He knows that the truth shows a correct image of God and motivates people to love Him. And that is what he aims to prevent and therefore provides a distorted image of God, Who can only be feared but not loved. And the first thing you should watch out for is whether God's love is clearly recognisable or whether God as a merciless judge merely awakens fear in people. In that case, such teaching can be safely rejected as not coming 'from God' .... Then the adversary's activity manifests itself so clearly, that it is not difficult to clarify it. God is a God of love and of mercy .... He wants to be recognised as a Father, thus love must also be plainly evident, and he may not be portrayed as an avenging or punishing God. If, however, God's love is doubtful, then the spiritual information, which portrays God such that love cannot be recognised, should also be doubted. Yet you should not accept any spiritual knowledge without scrutinising it, for God's adversary exerts his influence wherever he can, and often he especially tries to deceive the bearers of truth, so that they themselves begin to doubt the truth, which is exactly what he intends. He hates the truth because it reveals him and his activity and because the truth invariably leads back to God, which he tries to prevent by using every available means. And it will always be and remain a battle between truth and lie, between light and darkness .... God's adversary will always try to influence a person such that it can be difficult for him to differentiate between truth and lie, but a sincere prayer to God for spiritual enlightenment will always protect him from accepting or supporting error. For if the strength from God is desired it will also be effective, it grants the human being a brightly shining light .... for God is love and love does not deny itself .... God Himself protects His living creations from the darkness if they desire to be enlightened ....

Amen

Divorce of the spirits ....

B.D. 7676 from August 18th 1960, taken from Book No. 81

A separation of spirits will take place at the end of this earth and also before, where it will become very clear to whom people belong, to Me or to My adversary .... Even before the end people will separate into two groups, for My own will be persecuted for the sake of My name, and the persecutors obviously belong to My adversary who will still use his power because his days are numbered. And he will try everything to cause My own to fall away but he will not succeed, for I will stand by My own with great strength and I will shorten the days for the sake of My own .... And the end will come suddenly and unexpectedly and bring about the complete separation of spirits. For My own will be raptured from this earth and My adversary's followers will be put in chains together with him, they will be banished to the creations of the new earth and thus the adversary will be deprived of all power over these spirits, which will weaken him again for a long time, for his power only exists in his followers, he no longer possesses the strength to work himself if he cannot work through people who were devoted to him. But these I wrest from the adversary for their own sake and bind them again into creations of all kinds, so that they start their ascent again to be able to decide again once they have covered the course of development through the creations of the new earth, which takes endless times. This separation of spirits must take place, a just order must again prevail on earth. The souls must again be given the opportunity to form themselves into free spiritual beings, and the spiritual that has sunk again must also be included in the process of development, otherwise it would eternally not reach perfection. And this separation always takes place at the end of an earth period .... when people on earth completely forget their purpose of earthly life, when they live a life completely without God .... when they no longer recognize Me and do not believe in Me. Their resistance against Me cannot be broken by force, therefore they have to take the path again through the creations of the new earth, and this path is a path of torment, for the being has already been allowed to enjoy freedom in part and has placed itself in bondage again, for the human being's free will has striven for the abyss, but it could just as well have chosen the height and then the human being would have reached his aim. And there is a great danger that even the small flock of My own will be brought to fall by them, which is why the separation of spirits must also be initiated .... All spiritual beings will still have to decide before the end, and blessed are those beings who can count themselves as My own, who believe in Me and call upon Me when they are in need. For these have established the bond with Me, and they will also maintain it and remain faithful to Me until the end, for I provide them with great strength. And they will also recognize their fellow human beings whose spirit they are and keep away from those who obviously belong to the adversary .... But as long as the earth exists in its old way, My own will also be opposed by the adversary and his followers. And this is also the time of the test of faith when My own shall stand firm. Yet I protectively hold My hands over them and will know how to prevent the adversary from gaining power over them. I will stand by My own and give them strength, and they will endure until the end and be raptured on the day of judgment .... And then the separation of spirits will be accomplished and My own will live on the new earth in peace and bliss ...._>Amen

Calling upon the vineyard labourers ....

B.D. 7677 from August 19th 1960, taken from Book No. 81

Anyone who expresses his willingness to do vineyard work will be accepted, because there is never enough work that can be done for Me and My kingdom. And people will always be assigned their place according to their ability to do justice to the task requested of them. At the time of My life on earth I chose My disciples Myself because I was aware of their inner life, of their sincerity of love and their desire for truth. And I will always choose My disciples Myself who shall carry My Gospel into the world during the last days before the end. However, there are only a few who wholeheartedly hand themselves over to Me, who have already overcome the world and are willing to serve Me when it comes to spreading the truth. For it is primarily a matter of introducing people to the truth, that is, of conveying truthful knowledge to them about Me Myself, Who lived on earth in Jesus and accomplished the act of Salvation. It is primarily a matter of proclaiming the name of Jesus, His divine teaching of love and His suffering and dying on the cross. If people don't want to go astray, then they must have found Jesus Christ on earth, because it will not be so easy for the soul to find Him in the kingdom of the beyond. Yet without Jesus Christ they cannot enter the kingdom of light and attain beatitude. Hence, it is crucial that My vineyard labourers proclaim Him on earth and draw their fellow human beings' attention to their Saviour and Redeemer .... And in order to be able to proclaim it they must first have been instructed in the pure divine truth themselves. Thus it also includes the fact that My spirit can work in those whose subsequent work for Me in the vineyard shall be successful. And My spirit can only work when the necessary prerequisites are in place: profound love for Me, which expresses itself in merciful neighbourly love, living faith and desire for truth, which can only flow forth from Me to them if they are willing to spread this truth. Then I Myself will be able to instruct them, thus, as Master I can enable My servants to convey the truth to their fellow human beings, to inform them of My reign and activity, of My nature, which is love, wisdom and omnipotence in itself, and of My eternal plan of Salvation, which will also reveal to them the reason and purpose of their life on earth. They will be able to inform their fellow human beings of My will, which they must fulfil in order to become blessed. And they will proclaim My teaching of love and admonish their fellow human beings into shaping themselves into love .... because their degree of bliss solely depends on this, when the soul enters the kingdom of the beyond after the body's death. My servants can only work for Me if they can do justice to the task of spreading the truth .... They must be in possession of truth themselves, thus they must have received it from Me, if they want to perform real vineyard work .... But then they will also have been chosen by Me to go out into the world as My disciples during the last days and to proclaim the Gospel to people.

The hallmark of My true representatives on earth is the fact that they were guided into truth by Me Myself, that they say the same on My behalf as I Myself would have said to people when I still lived among them in the flesh, like I did during My life on earth. Therefore, anyone who receives My Gospel himself is My true disciple. And 'My Gospel' is the true doctrine of Salvation: the knowledge of the purpose of existence .... the knowledge of the original sin and the apostasy from Me .... the knowledge of My eternal plan of Salvation to guide My living creations back to Me and to happiness despite the immense original sin .... but this first requires the knowledge of Jesus Christ and His act of Salvation. Only when a person has complete knowledge of what constitutes the 'plan of Salvation' can he be a true disciple for Me .... He must be able to explain the correlations, he must know about the immense guilt of the living creations which originated from Me in all perfection and yet became imperfect of their own free will .... Only when a teacher knows everything himself will he also be able to teach successfully, and only then can he be sent into the world by Me in order to proclaim the Gospel to people. Therefore, a disciple chosen by Me must possess great knowledge himself so that he can accomplish his task .... And there are not many who let themselves be taught such that I can guide them into truth through My spirit .... there are not many who can be initiated into My plan of Salvation, even though the desire has arisen in many to hear Me, to perceive My voice within themselves. Nevertheless, I address all those who wish to be addressed by Me and I give what they are capable of receiving. And, at all times, My Word, My speech, will be a blessing for them and often also fall on ground which can yield good fruit for Me .... And so, everyone who is willing to serve Me shall be allocated an activity according to its success, but the sphere of My labourers' activity will always differ depending on the seeds I distribute to them .... depending on the knowledge they received within through the working of My spirit .... And everyone can work with it according to his ability and he will be blessed by Me .... for many are called but only few are chosen ....

Amen

Admonition to humility ....

B.D. 7678 from August 20th 1960, taken from Book No. 81

Recognize your weaknesses and try to counteract them by humbly submitting yourselves to Me and asking for My grace, for help in spiritual adversity. For I will be close to the least if he .... as the least of one .... serves his fellow human being and helps him to his soul's salvation. The great will not always be the chosen ones but only true humility will secure a person's calling, and therefore only a few people are chosen, although many are called to it .... i.e. many people only needed to find their way into true humility in order to then also be chosen by Me. But all people still have too much need for recognition, they want to stand out from their fellow human beings, they want to be noticed and thus, as it were, to stand out, and this already impairs true humility which results in the receipt of unmeasured grace. But I leave every person his will, only you should learn to recognize what is advantageous and what is evil for you. As long as a person deems himself small and unworthy he will speak to Me in spirit and in truth if he seeks prayer contact with Me. And then My spirit can also flow into him, then I can bestow graces upon him without restriction. But if a person is noticed by his fellow human beings due to his ability to hear My voice within himself, his humility can easily change and give way to complacency, which is always a danger for the human being. And therefore you should always examine yourselves as to what moves you to communicate to your fellow human beings, you should know that every self-satisfied thought can grant My adversary shelter and that you then prevent Me Myself from dwelling within you and addressing you .... And you should be critical of yourselves .... if you want to serve Me in truth. For wherever you stay you must always pray to Me in your 'quiet chamber' and appeal to Me for My spirit. And can you withdraw into your closet when you are in the midst of the world? When you are surrounded by people who are not all of the same mind and often only expect sensations? You should not forget for a moment that I hear the voice of a child who turns to Me in thought and also answer it .... but that I remain mute when an unfaithful feeling reveals the complacency of a person who indeed prays to Me but not in spirit and in truth .... First purify yourselves from this feeling and you will appear small and humble before Me and not try to attract the attention of the world around you. And thus you can believe that I am indeed among you when two or three are gathered in My name .... but that you have no guarantee of My presence where complacency, arrogance or spiritual arrogance deny Me presence and the door is now open to the adversary, who will indeed also present himself in the garment of light of an angel but will not give you words of truth and life .... humility of heart is the best test, for I give My grace to the humble .... And you all have to test yourselves as to whether you have shaped yourselves into the right humility when you ask Me for My word. Then you will also be able to be certain of My working, then you will be addressed by Me and receive strength and light according to your request ...._>Amen

Instruction from God requires bonding with Him ....

B.D. 7679 from August 21st 1960, taken from Book No. 81

Peace will enter your heart if only you remain intimately united with Me and always let Me be your guide and companion on your earthly path of life. And then this path will also always be light and bright, you will no longer need to fear darkness, for My love enlightens you and gives you clarity and realization. And then many questions will also be answered for you, that is, you will find the answer within yourselves and also recognize it as truth. Therefore know that the bond with Me must always be established first if you want to dispel the blindness of spirit, if you want to gain knowledge about your relationship with Me and your earthly task. Know that all problems will be solved for you if you desire this and turn to Me Myself to give you light. But I can only ever instruct you according to your receptivity, and you should eagerly try to increase this yourselves, because then nothing needs to remain secret to you anymore, because I can then introduce you to the deepest depths of wisdom. And this will happen through My spirit, which is and remains connected to the spiritual spark in you and is awakened to activity through your will. If you now establish the bond with Me then your will has become active in the right direction, and then the spiritual spark in you has also awakened to life, which now expresses itself in you and will instruct you comprehensibly. From this you can see that it is you yourselves who cause Me to speak, that the will to hear Me also determines Me Myself to speak .... And then you need not doubt that a person hears My voice within himself. Yet I can only ever express Myself as the human being himself allows, that is, as he desires to hear Me. Only when he is completely silent and only listens to what I have to say to him can I impart spiritual knowledge to him which goes beyond his knowledge, and only then can he speak of having been 'taught' by Me, for then knowledge will be made accessible to him which he did not possess before, which he did not absorb through study and which only My spirit can impart to him. But for the most part people already have a certain degree of knowledge which they have gained through reading or external teachings, and then they are unable to completely free themselves and I can then only hand it out according to their attitude. The desire to hear Me also guarantees My address, yet always only on condition that the human being has reached a certain degree of maturity of his soul. And this degree of maturity again will also determine the closeness of the bond with Me and the degree of devotion to Me when the child desires to hear Me. And the spiritual results will be correspondingly, for if the father expresses Himself to His child then He truly gives it what is most beneficial to the child .... And only I Myself can determine this in My wisdom and love, for I want to win souls but not lose them to My adversary. I want to promote the souls' development, I want them to become enlightened and to increase in wisdom .... so that they can teach in the last time before the end .... so that they will go out into all the world as My last disciples to proclaim the gospel to all people ...._>Amen

The bliss of return ....

B.D. 7680 from August 22nd 1960, taken from Book No. 81

You should know that no greater bliss exists for Me than to watch you, My living creations, develop into children who recognise their Father and wish to be united with Him .... This bliss is inconceivable for you because you were not able to assess My immense love when I created you and this love will never diminish until it has found final union with you once more, that is, until you have returned to Me again of your own free incentive .... Love is My fundamental substance, love is the strength which created everything, it is love which assures your continued existence and infinite love wants to make you blissfully happy for all eternity .... Hence you emerged from love as perfect creatures, since everything I created could only be perfect. And yet you were ‘created’ beings which could not have been anything else but perfect when they came forth from My hand. However, I was not satisfied with this degree of perfection. I wanted children next to Me which voluntarily would strive towards ultimate perfection, but in that case they could also shape themselves into imperfect beings if this is what they wanted. And countless beings misshaped themselves into this imperfection when they deliberately distanced themselves from Me and reversed all divine characteristics into the opposite. This was not My will, nevertheless it happened with My permission, because I knew that the retransformation into perfection was possible for the beings and that this regeneration will be accomplished one day, if only after an infinitely long time .... But the beings which manage to achieve this act of regeneration become what I Myself was unable to achieve with My power: their Father’s true children, who thus become as perfect as their Father in Heaven is perfect .... who voluntarily strive back to Me and make Me extremely happy when I can draw them to My heart as My true children, when they have and will remain united with Me for all eternity .... It is an exceedingly happy state for Me to watch these children of Mine take a step at a time towards the goal of unification with Me .... even if this return to Me necessitates an infinitely long time .... I know that one day it will come to an end, that no being will remain distant from Me .... I know that the work, which started with the beings’ act of apostasy, will continue with absolute certainty, even if the being’s free will occasionally makes it fall back .... even if eternities pass by until this free will changes and longs for Me. Nevertheless, My love will not stop helping the being to come up from below .... Time and again My love will come to meet the creature and My yearning for union will constantly increase and will indeed find fulfilment one day, just as the creature will long for Me one day and strive for unification. But then the being will be eternally happy .... Therefore it is of little significance for Me as to when this union will take place, because for Me a thousand years are like a day .... but I know for a fact that it will take place one day and I only seek to shorten the time of return to Me for My living creation’s sake, but I will not precipitate it if the being’s will is still opposed to Me. However, once My children feel the bliss which results from our union they will be incapable of understanding why they opposed Me for so long, for their love for Me will also come fully aglow and the being will never want to separate itself from Me again. Only then will the beings grasp what love is .... then they will know that nothing that emerged from Me can disappear and that everything must indeed be of highest perfection in order to be permanently united with Me, in order to endure My presence, in order to create and shape beside Me, as I have planned from the very beginning .... And the Creator will be blissfully happy with His living creation .... the Father will be inconceivably blissful with His child.

Amen

'I Am with you always, even unto the end of the world ....'

B.D. 7681 from August 24th 1960, taken from Book No. 81

'I will send you the comforter, the spirit of truth ....' Every one of you has the inherent ability to hear the voice of My spirit, for a part of Myself, a spiritual spark of My divine spirit of love, rests within yourselves and will always be able to make contact with Me, through it My Word will radiate into you, for this spiritual spark is an emanation of Myself which will strike you effectively if you are prepared for it. As long as you stay isolated from Me this spiritual spark will remain silent .... If you unite with Me, then the spiritual spark will be in contact with Me too and can impart to you the light and strength which comes forth from Me; it will be able to convey to you the pure truth from Me and by receiving this truth enable you to gain realisation and thus step out of the darkness of night into the light of day. I Myself promised you when I lived on earth that I would not leave you by yourselves anymore .... that I will always be with you until the end of the world .... I pointed out the working of My spirit in you, which will guide you into truth .... but which would only become possible after My crucifixion, because prior to it the soul was still burdened by the original sin which made it impossible for a bond between the human being and Me to become so intimate that he would hear My voice within himself. First redemption through Jesus Christ had to take place, which reversed the separation from Me .... The human being had to completely consciously acknowledge Me in Jesus Christ .... thus he deliberately had to have taken the path of return to Me, which then also resulted in the emanations of My strength of love, which assured that he would hear My Word if he wanted to, if he therefore consciously opened himself and thus activated the spiritual spark in him to unite itself with the eternal Father's spirit. For it only requires an earnest will to enter into My will, it requires the acknowledgment of Me Myself Whom the being once refused to acknowledge, and it requires a life of love for My spirit to express itself as I promised.

Physically I was unable to remain with you humans but I gave you the consolation of sending you My spirit and thus of always staying with you until the end of the world. And this promise has to be taken seriously, you can always be and remain aware of My presence, you need only have the will for Me to be present with you and to establish a bond with Me in thought, in prayer or in kind-hearted activity .... In that case you will always be able to hear Me, for I Myself Am in you, and the spiritual spark will never lose contact with the eternal Father spirit .... it is merely unable to express itself if the human being is not receptive of his own free will, if he does not carefully listen in order to hear what My spirit imparts to him through the spiritual spark. And thus it is always up to the human being himself to ignite the spark in him, to provide it with the opportunity of expressing itself by appealing to Me Myself such that I might be present with him and teach him and guide him into truth according to My promise .... And I will truly stand by his side as a comforter; I will guide him into truth and will give evidence of Myself through My Word .... I will be 'with him always, even unto the end of the world ....'

Desire for truth guarantees knowledge ....

B.D. 7682 from August 26th 1960, taken from Book No. 81

And the light of knowledge shall be given to you by Me, because you strive for it .... It shall be kindled for all who want to escape from darkness, for all who desire light. And therefore no-one who is seriously interested in receiving the truth need fear having to go there without knowledge of it. And therefore you only need to seriously consider the questions which occupy you and you will receive clarification .... either through the inner word or through transmission from My servants on earth, to whom I will send the answer so that it will be conveyed to you who desire the answer. And if you thus know that you are connected to Me in this way, that you can mentally communicate with Me, then you can go through earthly life in the blissful certainty that you will always be guided and cared for by Me .... You will never need to feel responsible, for then you will no longer be lonely, you will have chosen Me as your constant companion and guide, and I will truly no longer leave your side as long as you don't strive away from Me yourselves .... Yet even this you need no longer fear once you are intimately united with Me, for then I will no longer let you fall and I will hold you back 'through truth' which will make it impossible for you to detach yourselves from Me. You must have recognized Me in order to be able to love Me .... and you will learn to recognize Me through the truth .... And therefore only your own desire for truth is necessary for you to come into possession of it .... that the light of realization will shine through you and grant you comprehensive knowledge. But only a person who is aware of the seriousness of his earthly life, who is unable to regard earthly life as an end in itself but as a means to an end, and who therefore also seeks to fathom the meaning and purpose of earthly life, will desire truth .... Hence he desires the truth and will also receive it. But anyone who already possesses certain knowledge and is not willing to relinquish it ...., anyone who accepted this knowledge without seriously examining its truth when it was given to him from outside, is satisfied with it and no great desire for truth can be recognized in him .... he does not think about it and therefore cannot be enlightened if he is in error .... And it will remain dark in him, for he lacks the light which clarifies and rightly enlightens all correlations for him, he lacks the truthful knowledge which makes him happy and yet he believes to possess it because he unhesitatingly accepts what was conveyed to him as 'truth' without having examined it. And these people will not have an intimate bond with Me either, I will remain the distant God to them in Whom they certainly believe because they do not presume to reject Him .... But Whom they do not love as I want to be loved as father. For such love can only awaken through the supply of pure truth, and only such love is blissful and promotes the human being's development. And thus you humans should first desire the truth, and you should ask Me Myself for it. And I will truly not let you wander in darkness, I will kindle the light of realization in you, you will learn to understand what I send to you as truth, for together with the truth I give the understanding for it to the person who only seriously desires the truth, who believes in Me and who will also love Me with all his heart when he learns to recognize Me through the truth .... For this opens up to him the knowledge of My nature, of My love, wisdom and power .... of My rule and activity and My plan of salvation from eternity .... And then the human being will also give himself completely to Me, he will enter into the relationship of a child to the father and now communicate with Me intimately and in profound humility .... And then all possibilities will be opened to him to penetrate ever deeper into truth .... Then My spirit can work in him .... Then nothing need remain hidden from him, then every problem will be solved for him, then he will receive answers to all questions, for then he will converse in love with his father from eternity .... Then I Myself will draw My child to Me and give it everything it desires, which will make it happy and enable it to ascend .... Then the child will unite with its father and now remain eternally united with Him in light and bliss ...._>Amen

Cycle .... Graces earned on the cross ....

B.D. 7683 from August 27th 1960, taken from Book No. 81

You had to work your way up through great depths before you were allowed to enter existence as a human being, for you had to take the path through all works of creation which took an infinitely long time and which began in the deepest depth, in hard matter, which you had to overcome step by step until you had reached the height which enabled you to embody yourselves as a human being. The course of development can be completed for you after this earthly life, so that you are free from all external forms and enter the kingdom of the beyond freely and powerfully. But it can also be a cycle for you when you fall from the hitherto reached height to the abyss again, when the same course has to repeat itself and you cannot defend yourselves against the fate which is extremely agonizing but which you cannot be spared. For you have a task in earthly life, and if you fail to fulfil this task then the fall and then the same ascent through all works of creation will certainly await you. You would be frightened if you could look down into the depths from which you came .... you would do everything in order to be able to step out of the cycle at the end of this life, but it will certainly repeat itself as long as you don't fulfil your earthly task (as long as you don't strive for and achieve the last degree of perfection on earth), which, however, is also possible, for you receive grace upon grace .... and you can truly become blessed by grace .... You are unable to do anything on your own; divine support must always be granted to you, but then you will surely reach the height and your final aim on earth: You can enter the spiritual kingdom in freedom and light and strength and be indescribably happy .... But you must make use of the graces which are supplied to you without restriction during your earthly life as a human being .... And this is solely a matter of your free will, and no human being or spiritual being can have a determining effect on you .... You have to ask for blessings and thereby show your willingness to use these blessings for your soul's salvation .... For thereby you also prove that you are willing to return to God .... that you thus acknowledge a God and in Him also your father from eternity. Once you refused to acknowledge your God and creator .... you set yourselves apart from Him, you isolated yourselves from Him against better knowledge .... And thus His strength of love no longer met you .... But now you must desire it, you must turn to your God and father in the desire to be united with Him again, as it was in the beginning .... And you will also irrevocably achieve this union as soon as your desire is serious. For then you will also do everything He tells you to do: you will fulfil His commandments which He gave you through Jesus Christ, His only begotten son .... you will live in love and in love also find union with God .... And then you will also make use of all the blessings which consist of being addressed by Him, of living out His word, so that you will not only be hearers but real doers and may receive ever more of the divine blessings with which He abundantly bestows upon you in order to help you reach the final aim. You are too weak on your own but with His help you will succeed, and He provides His help out of love, even though you don't deserve it since you voluntarily left Him. But as soon as you voluntarily want to return to Him again He will take your will as an admission of your past guilt, and then He will bestow upon you the blessings acquired by Jesus Christ on the cross .... the blessings He Himself acquired for you through His death on the cross in order to be able to help you in your ascent upwards .... He redeemed your great guilt of sin on the cross, but you must go under the cross in good will and ask Him for forgiveness .... And then you will be able to receive grace without limit, you will also make use of the grace for your perfection, you will live your earthly life in God's will, and your great guilt of sin will be forgiven you for the sake of Jesus Christ, Who out of love for you has redeemed the guilt so that you may become blessed .... For then you will make use of the graces which He Himself purchased for you on the cross ...._>Amen

Different kind of revelations of God ....

B.D. 7684 from August 29th 1960, taken from Book No. 81

Just always bear in mind that you live in the time of the end .... and then you will also be able to understand that I use every opportunity to reveal Myself to humanity .... yet always in the way the individual person makes it possible, for I cannot reveal Myself to everyone through the word. This is why I address people fatefully .... I place them in situations where they can remember a God and creator, where they need help and where they can approach Me for this help and then will certainly also experience help because I want to reveal Myself to them as a God of love. Hence, every person can feel addressed by Me who only pays attention to how I repeatedly intervene in his life, how I guide him through suffering and affliction, how I also grant him happiness and joy .... Every person can recognize Me because I reveal Myself in many different ways. But the human being must also desire such realization, he must occupy himself in thought with his God and creator and want revelations from Him, otherwise he will live his earthly life completely worldly and no revelations will be of use to him. And thus the human being's will determines to what extent every revelation appeals to him, because it is the will which causes Me to also reveal Myself directly to the human being through My word .... through the working of My spirit in him .... This word is the surest evidence of My existence, it is the surest evidence of My presence or connection with the human being .... And yet, this word is not compelling to believe, for it will only mean something to the one who has a living faith in Me, and only he will be able to accept My word and also understand it. The faithless human being, however, is unable to grasp it, and he will always assess it as a person's own thought product, it will not cause him to believe as long as the will is not in the human being to experience truth. However, the desire for truth will also be met immediately. A personal revelation through the inner word is a gift of grace of unusual significance .... I reveal Myself to the human being, I Myself speak to him, he feels My presence, he is permeated by My strength, a light is kindled in him and he gains realization, knowledge of the pure truth. Furthermore, such a revelation is proof of My infinite love for My living creations but also an instruction to pass this gift of love on, for I love all people and also want to reveal Myself to all people, and .... because this is not possible for every person .... I use a person as a mouthpiece in order to be able to address many through him. For I want to guide all people into truth .... And thus I also speak such that all people can understand Me, that they can also recognize My address as 'God's word', for I don't want the person of good will to lack understanding. And I will always express Myself such that you humans will be able to recognize Me, because I want to reveal Myself to all of you as God and creator, as your father of eternity, Who wants to be in close contact with all His living creations, Who wants to address them as father in order to receive the love of a child from them. You humans should show Me the love of children, you should desire to hear the father's voice and use every opportunity to unite with the father in thought or prayer. You should pay attention to all revelations on My part, for you need not always expect My address .... you can recognize Me at any time in all events, in your guidance through earthly life, in every help in earthly and spiritual adversity .... Only your will must be good, you must not be in the power of the adversary, that you therefore deny a God and creator and do not seek contact with Him .... Then you will also be closed to every revelation, then you will also not want to acknowledge My address through My servants, and you will reject anyone who wants to bring you light about your God and creator from eternity .... Then the path you have to take will still be immeasurably long in order to reach the aim one day, the union with Me .... And it will be a path of torment and darkness because you shunned the light when it was offered to you ...._>Amen

Justification of God's address ....

B.D. 7685 from August 31th 1960, taken from Book No. 81

So strengthen yourselves with My word which again and again sounds to you from above and which again and again proves My love to you. For again and again I want to supply you with strength, I want to illuminate the path for you which leads to Me, into My kingdom where there is light and life and bliss. But without My supply of strength you will find it difficult to travel this path because it leads upwards and requires strength. And because I know about My children's weakness I come to you again and again and speak to you, and then My strength flows into you and you can continue your pilgrimage strengthened again. You are all pilgrims who walk through this earthly life, you are on the way home, on the way to your father's house .... But often you don't know this, often you humans walk through the valley of life without thinking of your aim. And then I have to draw your attention to this aim so that your earthly path will not remain an idle one, so that you will depart at the end in the same state as it was at the beginning of your embodiment as a human being. And therefore you should know where you have come from and where you should go. And thus I speak to you, you hear My word, I inform you of My will and give you information about the meaning and purpose of your embodiment as a human being. If you remain completely ignorant you will not evaluate your earthly life correctly and it will have been lived in vain. And so that no wrong knowledge is conveyed to you, I Myself, Who am truth and life, instruct you .... For I want to give you eternal life, and you can only gain it if you are instructed in the truth and then lead your earthly life in accordance with this truth .... And this is My purpose in speaking to you, for with My word you also receive the strength to live out My word and fulfil My will. And then you will also be assured of eternal life, then you will only take your short earthly path as a human being in order to mature and then enter the spiritual kingdom in perfection when the hour of your departure from this earth has come .... I want to strengthen you, for you are powerless without My help, for your soul has to be given food and drink so that it will mature during its time on earth and transform itself into a being of light, for this time on earth is only short and I sometimes call it off before the time when I deem it necessary. But it can also mature in a short time if it makes good use of the blessings which flow to it as evidence of My love .... I want to win My living creations' love and therefore I also want to prove Myself to them as a loving father .... But a father speaks to his children, he makes his will known to them, he imparts strength to them, he stands by their side and guides and supports them so that they can also travel the path upwards. And thus I also want to guide My children and make their ascent easy for I want them to reach the aim, I want them to come to Me and remain with Me forever .... And therefore I will come to you again and again as soon as I only see your will that you want to hear Me. And I will always put My will into your heart, I will tell you what you should do in order to become blessed, and I will also tell you, My servants, what work you should do, who want to be active in My vineyard as My faithful servants .... all of you need only turn to Me and desire to hear My voice .... and it will sound to you, because this is My Will, that you are always united with Me and start nothing without having asked Me for advice and having asked for My blessing .... And you will always walk under My care on this earth, every day will be a blessing for you and bring blessings to all who surround you .... For as soon as you yourselves are connected to Me My strength flows into you, (8/31/1960) and you will be able to radiate it again .... You will also show your neighbour the path to Me, you will always endeavour to convey the strength of My word to them too .... you will not be able to help but speak of Me and I will reward you with My blessing ...._>Amen

Proclaiming the gospel around the world ....

B.D. 7686 from August 31th 1960, taken from Book No. 81

And My name will be proclaimed everywhere in the world .... Believe that My spirit works in every person who strives towards Me and lives in love, for the spirit awakens to life in him. And now I can also reveal Myself to him. And therefore people will be awakened throughout the world who proclaim Me and My name, because the time of the end has come and therefore extraordinary things will also happen in order to still save the few whose will is good .... And the spirit will express itself, it will introduce people to truth, to knowledge which can only be offered to them by Me, as the eternal truth. And thus the words I spoke on earth will be fulfilled: “Beforehand My gospel will be proclaimed in all the world ...." For the people who carry it out into the world on My behalf can only carry out this work because they themselves are of awakened spirit and if their listeners have also prepared themselves through a life of love such that they can understand what is proclaimed to them .... Therefore their spirit must also be awakened through love .... Without love it is impossible for them to take notice of Me and My kingdom, of My act of salvation and the power of My name. But they shall know all this before the end comes. The near end shall be proclaimed to them, it shall be made clear to them that they must call upon the creator of the universe that He will call them to Himself into eternity before this end, that He may grant them grace, for they have not passed away even if they suffer earthly death. And therefore I will call servants and handmaidens everywhere upon whom I will pour out My spirit so that they will proclaim on My behalf to their fellow human beings, regardless of their tribe and race. The knowledge of a God and creator, Who wants to receive people into His kingdom if they live their lives according to His will, will penetrate everywhere .... And My act of salvation will also be proclaimed by people who are clairvoyant and able to hear My voice within themselves, depending on their calling. For I want to be a merciful God and a just judge to all My living creations, I want to guide all My living creations to the light, and therefore I will also leave no stone unturned which can lead to the awakening of the spirit .... I will send My messengers to those who are open to a good message, and I will also address them again through people who serve Me as mouthpieces because they are of awakened spirit .... My voice will resound everywhere, for I want to win all My children for Myself, I don't want to lose any of them. But I also always respect their free will and therefore cannot prevent people from resisting or fighting against My messengers, for then they will still be too much under My adversary's control and I will not forcibly influence them. But My love and grace will preserve all whose will is good .... For I still want to save all those before the end who give up their resistance against Me, so that they will attain eternal life ...._>Amen

End and Rapture .... Paradise of the new earth ....

B.D. 7687 from September 1st 1960, taken from Book No. 81

A blissful fate in the paradise of the new earth is awaiting those of you who will stand firm during the last battle of faith, who will remain faithful to Me until the end. It will certainly still be a difficult time for you but you will be able to prevail, for you will receive an exceptional flow of strength from Me, you will be so evidently taken care of by Me and My love that you will patiently accept all difficulties and profess Me and My name before the world. You and your strength of faith will also lift those of your fellow human beings' who are still of weak faith. They will recognise My might and strength if only a person has living faith in Me. But you should not stay with Me for the sake of reward, instead your love for Me should motivate you to resist all hostilities by the adversary. And you will indeed possess this love in view of the distinct help, the love, which I Myself will prove to you .... Then burning love for Me will arise in you and nothing will be able to frighten you anymore, nothing will be able to separate you from Me, Who is and wants to remain your Father, Who wants to transfer you as His children into the paradise of the new earth .... and Who therefore will help you until the very end. And I will shorten the days for the sake of My Own .... This promise shall be your comfort when you look at the chaos around you, when you are subjected to persecutions which originate from My adversary and affect all those who believe in Me. Don't let yourselves be misled by the promises of those who don't want to acknowledge Me .... don't let yourselves be deceived by their apparent good living standard and don't desire it yourselves, for My adversary and his followers will not be able to enjoy it for long .... Everything will cease to exist on the Day of Judgment, and only you will survive this day and be allowed to enter the kingdom of peace when I will carry you away before their very eyes.

And so that you will remain strong in your resistance, so that you will remain loyal to Me until the end, I will fortify you in every adversity of body and soul .... And I will also visibly come to you, if your strength of faith and your love allows for it .... I will provide you with such remarkable strength and comfort that you will be firm enough to resist and that you will also live through the short time without incurring the slightest damage to your body and soul .... For My power is truly great enough to protect you in every adversity and danger. Therefore, if you are unusually put under pressure for the sake of your belief you can count daily on My coming .... Then you will know that the Day of Judgment is not far away anymore, and then wait in love and patience, for I have promised My help to you and I will rescue you from all distress. You don't know how close you are to the end and the day and hour will remain a secret to you as well; but pay attention to the signs which proclaim the end to you .... and you will realise that you are living in the twelfth hour and that time flies. This is why you should make use of it to the best of your ability and always remain in contact with Me so that you will constantly receive strength and increase your strength of faith and your love for Me .... I will truly save you from destruction if only you have the will to belong to Me, therefore I will also give you the strength to prevail until the end or I will recall you before, so that you will not fall prey to My adversary in your weakness .... For as soon as your will applies to Me I shall no longer leave you to My adversary but take hold of you and draw you up to Me .... Yet blessed is he who experiences the end, who will remain loyal to Me and profess Me before the world .... I want to endow him with the delights of paradise, I want to transfer him onto the new earth when the Day of Judgment has come .... and all adversity and suffering will be over for him, he will live in peace and beatitude and I Myself will be with My Own, as I have promised ....

Amen

Salvation only through Jesus Christ ....

B.D. 7688 from September 2nd 1960, taken from Book No. 81

You should know that you cannot enter beatitude as long as you are burdened by your original sin. Most of you humans on earth are still under this burden, for many of you are still distant from Jesus Christ and His act of salvation, Who alone can release you from this burden. And thus you live your life on earth, perhaps also in apparent righteousness .... you believe you lead a good life, you do not consciously do bad things .... but you have not yet shed your original sin and have therefore not yet let yourselves be 'redeemed' by Him. And if you leave earthly life in this unredeemed state, the gates to beatitude will be closed to you .... You cannot enter the kingdom of light as yet because you are still under the burden of sin which can only be forgiven through Jesus Christ, because He died for you on the cross in order to redeem this guilt of sin .... but because He also demands your free will to become free from this guilt, otherwise the act of salvation was offered for you in vain. In the last days before the end only little faith can be found in Him, the divine redeemer .... People all want to be enlightened, they don't want to accept all those doctrines of faith, they mostly live without correct knowledge or they reject the doctrines of faith which were traditionally passed on to them. And yet they must believe in Him .... they must acknowledge Jesus Christ as the son of God and redeemer of the world, they must believe that God embodied Himself in the human being Jesus in order to accomplish the act of salvation for the sins of the whole of humanity, in order to take the path of most bitter suffering and pain to the cross, which then ended with His death on the cross .... And they must .... if they cannot believe .... seek to know the truth about it. They must be willing to accept the truth when it is brought to them, for they cannot be saved without Jesus Christ. And everything that is done to convey this knowledge of Jesus Christ and His act of salvation to people will be blessed, for the end is near and only redemption through Jesus Christ can lift the horrors of the end. Redemption through Jesus Christ reunites people with God from Whom they once voluntarily separated .... The redemption through Jesus Christ saves people from the abyss, it preserves them from the terrible lot of the new banishment; the redemption through Jesus Christ opens the gate to eternal life for the souls .... Therefore He must still be proclaimed throughout the world. He has to come alive in people's hearts who mostly only regard everything as a legend and remain unaffected by what the man Jesus did for His fellow human beings in order to bring them help in spiritual adversity .... People should learn the truth about the purpose of the act of salvation, they should be enlightened about the spiritual reason for the act of salvation, about the correlations, about the original sin and purpose of the human being's earthly life .... The truth alone can bring this about, so that the human being will attain a living faith in Him .... and the truth should therefore be conveyed to fellow human beings wherever possible .... For there is only a short time left until the end and everything should therefore still be done to protect people from the abyss, from the fate of a new banishment in the creations of the new earth ...._>Amen

Proclaiming the gospel of love ....

B.D. 7689 from September 2nd 1960, taken from Book No. 81

There are only a few who consciously serve Me insofar as they proclaim the gospel of love to their fellow human beings, which I Myself send to them through the voice of the spirit .... I want them to mention the working of My spirit, I want them to tell their fellow human beings where their own wisdom comes from .... I want them to open themselves to Me first and receive My words, that they process and recognize them as the father's voice and that they then also give to their brothers what the father has in store for all, so that they will become blissfully happy. For you are all My living creations which I want to educate into My children; you all need the help of your father in heaven, for you are all weak and sinful, and through My love you shall become strong and free from your guilt of sin. For this reason the gospel must also be conveyed to you, the divine teaching of love, which the man Jesus proclaimed on earth when I took abode in His shell and walked across the earth. For you humans must first know that you can only attain beatitude through love and therefore the commandments of love are given to you as a matter of priority .... My word, which is conveyed to you from above, only ever proclaims love .... It proclaims that I Myself am eternal love, that you, My living creations, emerged from My love, that your fundamental substance is also love, that you voluntarily gave yourselves to love, that you voluntarily separated yourselves from Me as eternal love and that you therefore voluntarily have to change to love again in order to be united with Me again .... in order to acquire eternal life, which can only be gained through love. Love is the fundamental law of eternity. Without love you are creatures who have stepped out of order, without love you are imperfect beings without light and without strength .... Without love you are bound beings under the control of the one who is devoid of all love, that is, My adversary. But you shall return to Me again and be eternally blissful .... And this first requires that you shape yourselves into love again, as you were in the beginning .... For this reason the teaching of love, the good news of salvation, the gospel, shall be conveyed to people again and again, and I Myself convey it to earth .... But there are only a few who consciously accept it, whom I can train to become My true disciples, whom I can send out into the world again .... And yet it is so extremely necessary, and I bless everyone who prepares himself to be a receptacle of My divine spirit into which I can now let My word flow, so that it will now take its path to all people who are of good will. For I can certainly address many people who desire to be addressed but I cannot convey spiritual knowledge to everyone which is intended for transmission, which can also be conveyed to fellow human beings as 'glad tidings of salvation' as it was conveyed by Me Myself through them .... For only the pure truth can be useful to people, the pure truth has to be passed on, and this can only come forth from Me Myself and be received again through My spirit. And therefore every person is blessed who makes himself available to Me for this activity .... who listens attentively to what I have to say to him and who does not leave the spiritual knowledge lying idle but distributes it where only a receptive heart meets him .... For you humans all need My word, and I want to speak to all of you and need a willing servant for this who takes his task seriously and is diligently active. And no work will be done in vain, for countless souls desire My word and receive it, as soon as My servant carries out his activity .... as soon as he works for Me and My kingdom .... as soon as he proclaims My teaching of love and informs his fellow human beings that no human being can become blissfully happy without love. For the time is coming to an end and My gospel of love shall still be proclaimed to many people ...._>Amen

Message to the formal Christians ....

B.D. 7690 from September 3rd 1960, taken from Book No. 81

You humans only have one way to achieve maturity of soul on earth: you have to live in love. I repeatedly tell you that you can only become blessed through love. Time and again I have to present My commandments of love as a priority to you, because there is no substitute for a life of love, since nothing can help you achieve bliss if you do not live up to My commandments of love .... Hence you can do what you like .... you can zealously observe the laws decreed by people .... you can comply with all regulations which are supposedly necessary .... but your spiritual development will not progress one iota if you disregard love. Consequently, in all your undertakings you should consider carefully whether you are motivated to do something by the love within you or whether you merely comply with ‘commandments’ which were given to you by people and which are in no way related to a ‘labour of love’ ....

You should always carefully think about the reasons of your thoughts and actions and attach no importance to anything devoid of ‘love’. Particularly people who feel denominationally committed apply My commandments of love half-heartedly .... They give their sole attention to traditional customs, they fulfil ‘duties’ which, they are told, are important, but by doing so they do not further the maturity of their soul .... and yet they should know that the maturing of their souls is the only reason for living on earth .... But I keep emphasising that a life of love is absolutely necessary to achieve it, that nothing else will substitute unselfish works of love. Irrespective of how eagerly they perform the commandments decreed by people, they will not be able to accomplish the slightest progress for their souls .... Therefore, everything you humans do is worthless if love is not the determining factor.

And when you say ‘Everything in honour of God ....’, how can you honour Me if you do not love Me? And how can you love Me if you ignore the hardship of your fellow human being who is, after all, your brother? How can God’s love be in you if you lack compassionate love for other people by which alone you prove your love to Me? You live a wrong life if you feel committed to denominational customs and traditions, to ceremonies and implementations of duty, you are wasting the energy of life which is given to you by Me for gaining spiritual strength on earth, and this can only be acquired by deeds of love ....

You humans, do take earthly life seriously, do not live so indifferently that you won’t even consider whether your God and Father can be satisfied with your mere fulfilment of formalities .... Consider what I Myself might ask of you if I stayed with you again as a human being, if I walked across your earth again as a human being .... Do you think that I could feel pleased that you humans exist in a dead faith, that you only mechanically perform things which can never be of any value in My eyes? How do you humans imagine your God and Father to be? How can you humans reconcile My wisdom with what you have built, with what you believe to be the ‘church of Christ’ .... ? How could I find pleasure in traditions and customs, in activities which are presented to you as ‘My will’? I can and will only take pleasure in those carrying out works of love .... I will only ever acknowledge things that have their basis in love, and souls can only mature fully when the human being transforms himself into love, when he fights the love of self and becomes absorbed in unselfish love for his fellow human being .... Because you are lacking love and should acquire it again while you live on earth .... You have to live a life of love or your life on earth will be in vain and you will never reach you goal ....

Amen

The spirits' and the adversary's resistance ....

B.D. 7691 from September 4th 1960, taken from Book No. 81

Spiritual death can last for an infinitely long time but one day all souls will come to life .... For I will not rest until all spiritual beings have returned to Me; I will not cease illuminating that which is dead with My love until it eventually gives up its resistance, until it begins to stir and the first signs of life become visible. But it will take an infinitely long time until this work of redemption has been accomplished, for countless spiritual substances still languish in their solidified state, and eternities will yet pass by until these hardened spirits will be able to start on the path of higher development, because their resistance to My illumination of love is so strong and I will not break it by force. And My adversary will also remain in this opposition to Me for an endless time .... I will not forcibly break his will either but one day he will return to Me voluntarily and only a return like this is of value to Me, because I want to have children and not living creations which are forced to comply with My will, which lack the love that a child will offer Me. The fact that My work of return will extend throughout eternity is of no great significance to Me because time does not exist for Me, since a thousand years are as one day to Me .... And the greater the past resistance was the greater will be the bliss of having returned to Me, for Myself as well as for the entity .... the fact that it will have to suffer immeasurably during its time of apostasy from Me is due to its own will, which I do not break forcibly. These are inconceivably long periods of time for you humans which can only be made comprehensible to you by the concept of eternity.

You should know that one day it will come to an end, that the spiritualisation of all created beings will be accomplished one day and even My adversary will return to Me again, because that which emerged from My strength of love will never be able to go astray forever. And the fact that My adversary will also be redeemed one day, that he, too, will return to Me as the prodigal son, goes without saying, because I Am love and love never relinquishes anything but constantly seeks to attract reciprocated love. It would not be reconcilable with My perfect nature were I to let something forever go astray which had come forth from My hand .... And therefore you may believe with certainty in a total redemption of the spiritual beings; you need not harbour the least doubts or you would doubt My love which, however, is part of My nature, which is supremely perfect. Eternal death does not exist, but death can last for eternities .... because these times are incomprehensible for you as long as you are still in the state of imperfection .... But they are not limitless .... The concept of eternity can only be applied when all spiritual beings have reached the state of perfection again, for then the being will never ever lose its life again .... it will never again have to fear death. However, everything in the imperfect state will always be subject to limitations. And thus the state of death will also come to an end for the spiritual being, because My eternal plan of Salvation intends to bring that which is dead back to life, but the being itself will determine the time it takes and thus eternities may pass until it decides to give up its resistance. For although My strength of love seeks to illuminate that which is dead .... it remains ineffective as long as the opposition does not diminish, which will nevertheless happen one day with irrefutable certainty. And then it will come alive .... For sooner or later all fallen spirits will return to Me and then remain with Me forever ....

Amen

Realization is proof of return ....

B.D. 7692 from September 5th 1960, taken from Book No. 81

You are on the path of return to Me when the light of realization is kindled in you .... when you no longer go through earthly life ignorantly, when you have already absorbed a small measure of truth and can also understand it. For no light can be kindled in you if love is not in you .... and you have already entered into the bond with Me if you live in love. Without love you cannot be introduced to the knowledge of pure truth .... And thus you cannot speak of the return to Me without love either. But when you start to become enlightened, when you learn to understand the correlations and now also recognize the meaning of your earthly life, then you will no longer be in opposition to Me either .... otherwise you would be in darkness, otherwise you would only be preoccupied by the world, but your thoughts would never dwell in other spheres where it is light and you can receive knowledge which makes you happy. And this knowledge emanates from Me .... Hence, if you possess spiritual knowledge, however small, then you have received it from Me Myself, and this also means that you have turned to Me and opened your hearts to Me, into which I can now let spiritual gifts flow which enlighten your hearts. A person who still resists Me also closes himself off to My illumination of love, and he will be without all realization because he became blind in spirit due to his apostasy from Me, because he left the light and fell into darkness. And it cannot become bright in him until he consciously turns to Me again and requests light from Me. And for so long he is completely without knowledge of his origin, of his destiny, of the meaning and purpose of his earthly life and his aim .... Yet in earthly life he shall regain this knowledge, he shall increase in realization, it shall become light in him again, as it was in the beginning; he shall experience the truth, a knowledge which originated from Me Myself and which will also make him happy because it is simultaneously proof that he is on the path back to Me, that he is no longer opposed to Me, that he has sought and found Me and that I was therefore able to let light shine into him. A person who is hostile towards Me or who completely denies Me will never possess the knowledge of the pure truth. He shuts himself off from My illumination and it cannot become bright in him but he remains in spiritual darkness as long as he stays away from Me. And for as long as he does he also still belongs to the adversary .... And therefore every person can consider himself fortunate who has gained knowledge, who has received enlightenment and can believe, for he is already in union with Me or My light would not have been able to shine into him. And such a person will always live a life on earth according to My will, love will determine all thoughts, speeches and actions, and through love he will establish the bond with Me. Thus he will also have found the approach to Me, and this will become ever closer the more the light of knowledge shines through him, for this knowledge, which corresponds to truth, will also increase his love for Me and his neighbour, it will let him become humble and he will hand himself over to Me and appeal to Me for stronger light, for grace and for My mercy. For through knowledge he now recognizes himself, he knows about his past sin, about his apostasy from Me and about his task to return to Me again, and he now consciously pursues this task .... he consciously strives for union with Me, his God and father of eternity, for he gains ever more knowledge and his love becomes ever greater .... The light shines ever brighter and certainly also shows him the path to Me, back into the father's house, back to his father, Whom he once voluntarily left ...._>Amen

Jesus' resurrection and spiritualisation ....

B.D. 7693 from September 6th 1960, taken from Book No. 81

You can confidently accept it as truth that My body simultaneously spiritualised itself with My soul, that I was therefore able to arise from the dead because nothing of a physical nature remained in the grave which might have had to continue the process of development. During My life on earth I had also become master over My body, I had spiritualised all substances, that is, as Jesus, the human being, I had handed them over to My Father of eternity; nothing existed in My body which resisted the Father in Me, and I did not suffer the agonies on the cross for My sake .... for the sake of spiritualising My body .... but only in order to atone for humanity's sins with it. However, My body was still humanly inclined so that it felt and endured the immense pain .... Nevertheless, after I had accomplished the act of Salvation for the human race with My death on the cross, I also wanted to provide you with the evidence of My spiritualisation which resulted in My resurrection from the dead .... Thus body and soul were able to arise because they had achieved the act of spiritualisation and nothing was capable of keeping this spiritual being in the grave, for the spirit penetrates everything, even the most solid matter. This spiritualisation of the body was certainly possible for Me because I was completely imbued by love and because love dissolves every impure substance, for .... where love is present .... nothing of an impure nature can persist, because love guarantees a unification with the Eternal love, since it consumes everything, only leaving the pure spirit behind, which thus can unite itself with the Primary Spirit of eternity. I remained in this love, and if you humans likewise shape yourselves into love, you will also be able to spiritualise your body, you will place all material substances into the right order and all inherently bound spiritual substances therein will turn to Me as the Eternal Love and give up all opposition, which had once hardened its substances and had been the cause of its banishment into matter. But this spiritualisation of the body will only be achieved by a few people while they are still on earth, nevertheless, it is possible. Then the body will also be able to arise at the same time as the soul, it is just that it will not often be perceptible to you humans because it is not necessary for your salvation of soul to experience unusual things which are generally not comprehensible to people.

However, the fact that I Myself have risen from the dead, that My body stepped out of the grave as well, can be believed by you, for My life as a human being truly was such that it was possible for the body's spiritualisation to take place, that nothing needed to remain behind in order to go through a further phase of development. I had found unification with the Father of eternity .... I was completely pervaded by Him, I no longer lived outside of His nature, I was merged with Him for all eternity. But the 'nature of God' cannot be made understandable to you, for He is a Spirit Which permeates and pervades everything .... He cannot be personified, nor is He visible, He is strength and light on such a scale that it would consume everything had it not shaped itself to a high degree of love, which was in Me during the time of My life on earth as a human being. And therefore this light and strength was able to infuse Me completely without having to perish, but also My spiritualised body maintained its form despite the abundance of divine spirit, so that I remained visible to the beings which face Me with a high degree of maturity .... The Great Spirit of eternity, Which permeated the whole of the universe had manifested Itself in a human form .... I had became visible for My created beings in Jesus Christ, for I Myself Am also a Being which you will only understand when you yourselves, full of love, have entered into union with Me .... And then you will also grasp the problem of My resurrection, the spiritualisation of body and soul and My complete merger with the Father-Spirit of eternity .... Only then will you understand the unity of Jesus and the Father .... Only then will you be totally united with Me and you will recognise Me Myself, your God and Father of eternity, in Jesus Christ .... For He and I are One, and he who sees Me also sees the Father ....

Amen

Living faith ....

B.D. 7694 from September 8th 1960, taken from Book No. 81

I want to ignite the spark in you, for I want you to attain a living faith. For this reason My strength of love constantly shines upon you, and you need only want to, then the spiritual spark will also flare up in you, because My strength of love will not remain without effect. But you have to accomplish this willingness yourselves.... And it only requires the thought that you want to fulfil the purpose of your earthly life. And then My strength of love will already have an effect on you in the form that I will direct your thinking and truly towards the right aim. Then you will be able to believe in a God and creator Who wants to have contact with you, and you will feel a desire for such a connection. And this desire is triggered in you through love .... Every person who is willing to love and complies with his inner urge to perform works of love will also soon feel a desire within himself to connect with Me .... as the eternal love .... to be united. And this person will also have a living faith because this is caused by love in him. He will seek living contact with Me, his thoughts will often wander into the spiritual kingdom, he will live a spiritual life next to his earthly life, and he will reflect on many processes which he experienced around and within himself and which he desires to have explained .... And his living faith will cause him to turn to Me directly and appeal to Me for clarification, for he feels Me present because he has living faith in Me. Thus faith can only come alive through love .... For I Myself am love, and I can also be present in anyone who has love, and My presence triggers a living faith. The human being is as trusting with Me as with his father, he has found Me and will never lose Me for ever .... Living faith is what you humans should gain in earthly life, for then you will also have gained everything, Me Myself with My love and strength and also realization, for you will have become seeing, you will have become knowing through My spirit, and this knowledge will then also be the sign of My presence in you, it is the sign that you are no longer dead in spirit but living .... Therefore you should all only open yourselves to My illumination of love .... you should want to fulfil your purpose of earthly life, for if you just think a little you should also realize that your earthly life has to have a meaning and purpose. And it should be your will and endeavour to fulfil it. Then you will also consciously turn to your God and creator and trustingly hand yourselves over to Him that He will guide and direct you according to your purpose, and this will will also earn you My guidance, it will ensure the influx of My strength of love, you will feel urged to be lovingly active yourselves and it will become light and bright in you .... You will believe vividly and in this living faith join Me ever more intimately, because faith also increases love and because love always seeks union with the eternal love. To be able to believe livingly is increased bliss already on earth, for the distance between the creature and Me through its own will is abolished, the meaning and purpose of earthly life is already fulfilled, for the human being has passed his test of will .... He has turned to Me of his own free will and acknowledges Me as God and father .... He has recognized the past sin of apostasy from Me and wants to return to the bosom of the father again, from Whom he once originated ...._>Amen

Effect of the divine word on souls in the hereafter ....

B.D. 7695 from September 9th 1960, taken from Book No. 81

All souls can feel addressed by Me, both people on earth as well as souls in the kingdom of the beyond, if only they listen to Me voluntarily. For My word resounds to all self-aware beings which open themselves to My address, thus are willing to be addressed by Me. And this address of Mine gives bliss to those who have already discarded their body, for they are permeated by strength and light, depending on their degree of maturity and desire. But people on earth don't always feel this flow of strength because they don't entirely stay in the spiritual sphere but their body is still exposed to the impressions of the earthly kingdom, thus, as it were, the body's sensation still makes itself felt primarily. Nevertheless, the soul receives strength and also evaluates it. This is why the acceptance of My word by a servant devoted to Me is extremely significant for all spiritual beings, for it is a process in which countless souls participate, because there is no limitation in the spiritual kingdom, because My word sounds out into infinity in the spiritual kingdom, where the spiritual beings full of light also hear My address and blissfully accept it. And thus the souls are constantly fed with heavenly nourishment, they are constantly supplied with light and strength, and a person only needs to open himself voluntarily, then this nourishment, which is spiritual food for the soul and helps it to mature, will also reach him. Thus it always depends on the free will of the human being as well as of the souls in the beyond whether My word will also sound to them, yet if they allow it through their will then they can also be called exceedingly blissful, for anyone who once receives My word will also now remain under the flow of strength of My love, and he can no longer perish eternally, he will successfully cover the path of ascent development, he is guaranteed to leave the abyss and ascend to the height because he constantly accepts strength and light from Me. The spiritual kingdom's redemption would be impossible in the kingdom of the beyond if My gospel were not proclaimed to the souls there too, even though it is far more difficult to convince those souls than on earth. But where My word can resound the souls' doubts will also diminish, and since they have to do without earthly pleasures and goods they will nevertheless start to look for other goods .... and then an address on My part will unusually touch them and make them think .... And now the ice is broken, now they wait for repetition and don't miss any opportunity where they can hear My address again. Only My word can bring about the redemption of the spiritual beings, because My word is the proclamation of My will, because My word is the gospel which I proclaimed on earth as the human being Jesus .... and because the souls only gain knowledge of Jesus Christ and His act of salvation through My word. All souls in the beyond as well as all people on earth must find Jesus Christ, the divine redeemer, because then they will also have found Me and acknowledge Me, Whom they once denied. And this can only be accomplished by My word, which establishes the connection from the creator to His created being .... Immature souls in the beyond lack all knowledge and therefore it has to be conveyed to them. However, I cannot address these souls directly .... but through you they can also hear My word if you mentally recite it to them yourselves or if you open yourselves to hear My word. Then those souls can also participate in the transmissions, they will not be hindered if they voluntarily stay close to you and listen to what I have to say to you, My servants on earth. Then your work for Me and My kingdom will be a great blessing, for then you will contribute towards the redemption of the still unfree spirits, and then My word can also be heard by these souls and it will not remain without impression. And if you then consciously call upon souls which were close to you on earth, you can also be certain that I will give special consideration to these souls for the sake of your love for them .... For then I will be able to give them strength for the sake of your love, and they will be receptive and willing and soon also belong to your permanent environment, for if they could only touch My word once they will always want to hear it again and then also experience no restriction .... Therefore always remember those souls and seek to help them, and My blessing will rest on your work, you will always work successfully for Me and My kingdom, you will help all those who are still unredeemed, because every work of redemption draws wide circles and ever new souls are won and can exchange the darkness for the light ...._>Amen

Faith can move mountains ....

B.D. 7696 from September 10th 1960, taken from Book No. 81

The strength to believe comes forth from love, for love is strength in itself, and anyone who lives in love connects with Me and now also receives strength. And this will take effect in a living faith .... But then the human being can move mountains .... as unlikely as this may sound to you. But the human being rarely has such a high degree of love that he is also able to believe so strongly. And yet, he should only ever strive for this strong faith; he should know that nothing is impossible for him to achieve if he lets love flare up so brightly within himself that the bond with Me is complete and then he need only request My strength and he will receive it .... that he will then work with Me, for Whom nothing is truly impossible. Anyone who is able to muster this strong faith is also permeated by profound love, for love and strength are the same, and thus anyone who feels heartfelt love for his neighbour will also be able to help him in his adversity because his faith is able to do so. Faith and love cannot be thought of without each other, and anyone who is still weak in love will also be weak in faith and will only be able to strengthen it if he makes an effort to increase his love, which first requires that he overcomes selfish love, which is the opposite of unselfish neighbourly love as required by the law of divine order. And so man cannot believe as long as he lives his life only for himself .... If he tries to fight against selfish love then the spark of love will ignite in him, then the spirit will come alive in him which is My share and which will now constantly urge him to be active in love .... And then the bond with Me is established, which can become ever firmer and more intimate, and this also results in an increased degree of love, and faith grows and becomes ever deeper and more unshakeable, for the bond with Me now also gives the human being the certainty that I am with him when he strives towards Me, and that I now also work through him when he wants to accomplish a work in his love which is a blessing for his neighbour. Anyone who is intimately united with Me also feels My strength, and this awareness also makes his faith a living one, the person is certain that everything he undertakes will succeed because he carries it out together with Me, because I am present to him .... and I can be present to him because he draws Me to himself through love, because I am in every person who lives in love .... For I Myself am love from eternity .... Every weakness of faith is a lack of love, and if this afflicts you then you should pray, you should call upon Me for strength and your request will not be in vain, for My love is so great that I will give it to you if only you open yourselves to Me, if you want to be illuminated by My love .... which you prove through heartfelt prayer for the supply of strength. And if you pray sincerely your love will soon deepen, you will be urged from within to be active in love, you will endeavour to live according to My will and your faith will strengthen .... even though you first have to reach a high degree of love if you want to achieve the unusual, which a strong, living faith is capable of. And thus love will always remain the first and most important thing in your earthly life, for love unites you with Me, and as soon as I can be present to you your faith will also increase in strength and power .... And you will be happy (already on earth) if you possess a living faith which enables you to do whatever you want and which is beneficial for you or your neighbour ...._>Amen

Proclaiming the Gospel ....

B.D. 7697 from September 11th 1960, taken from Book No. 81

Every opportunity where My Gospel can be proclaimed should be used, for time is flying by and everything should still be done in order to lead people towards a living faith in Me, in order to announce the near end and to inspire them to prepare themselves for this end. I will therefore bless every meeting which serves to accomplish vineyard work, dwelling amongst My Own and enlightening their spirit I Myself will speak through the mouths of those who want to serve Me, and the souls which move within spiritual spheres can only ever gain from it. My teaching should be carried to all places because people repeatedly need to be told to fulfil their true purpose of life on earth by eagerly working at improving their souls so that they can be accepted in the kingdom of light and bliss one day. The world has no spiritual possessions to offer but if you bring the Gospel to them, they will be offered everlasting possessions which will follow them into eternity, for as soon as they comply with My Gospel their souls will mature and enable them to enter the kingdom of light and bliss after their physical death. The proclamation of the Gospel is, at the same time, also the proclamation of Jesus Christ's act of Salvation .... and people must be informed of this, for without Jesus Christ they cannot become blessed. This makes the work in My vineyard extremely important, many fallow fields shall still be reclaimed .... many hearts shall still be made receptive for the seeds I distribute to you, My labourers on earth, and which can truly bear the most magnificent fruit if the ground has been cultivated and nurtured, if it has been well prepared in order to accept the seed. Your work, My servants on earth, consists of repeatedly bringing My Word to those people who want to accept it .... of constantly drawing their attention to My love and grace which manifests itself in the direct passing on of My Word .... You should speak wherever possible, that is, place yourselves at My disposal so that I Myself can speak through you. My Word will have great strength and occasionally also soften hearts which were still disinclined towards Me but which cannot resist My address. And I will bless you for this, for evening has come and it won't take long for the night to fall from which there will be no awakening in the morning .... because the time people where granted for striving towards perfection has come to an end. For this reason you should also keep announcing the end and admonish your fellow human beings to be diligent in making sure that their souls will not go astray; you should tell them time and again that they are facing a turn of events in the world, even if they don't want to believe it .... You should announce the forthcoming natural disaster and the subsequent end .... so that they can still make an effort in the final hour, so that they will learn to believe if they pay attention to the sign of the times. Therefore you should be busy servants for Me, for I still want to address people as often as you enable Me to do so .... Bear in mind that your fellow human beings are suffering great spiritual adversity and try to help them .... Preach the Gospel to them, preach to them about love, time and again give them My Word, and I will be with you with My blessing and with all those who do not close their hearts if I want to speak to them through you ....

Amen

The voice of conscience ....

B.D. 7698 from September 13th 1960, taken from Book No. 81

You are guided into perfection and need My support for this, because you once relinquished all your strength and became weak, lightless living beings which had to remain in the abyss until My love took hold of them and helped them to ascend again. Although you now have acquired a certain level of maturity it is not enough to guarantee the path of ascent which you still have to cover during your earthly life. You need My strength and guidance for this. And if you are conscious of your weakness, if you look around for help, then I Am already by your side just waiting for your request for help .... but you have to make this request to Me of your own free will because I will not force your will by any means whatsoever.

Yet I Am always willing to give you the help you ask for, just as I will always provide you with strength as soon as you desire it. And in order to awaken this desire within yourselves I occasionally will let you feel your weakness and darkness particularly strongly. This is only a sign of My love for you because I want to win you for Myself, because by this means I want to persuade you to voluntarily ask for My help. And for this reason you have to believe in Me first ....

The knowledge of a God and Creator will certainly be passed on to you, which you only need to accept and think about and with good will you can also believe it. You can rest assured that I will help you to acquire firm faith if only you have the will to think and act correctly .... if only you will listen to your inner voice which will always guide you correctly.

And My voice will express itself in every person as their voice of conscience .... but it can be heard or ignored, which is entirely up to the person's own will. Hence their voice of conscience will inform the human being of right and wrong; the voice of conscience will teach him about the fundamental law, about love, because as a human being he knows exactly what gives him joy and a sense of well-being and what causes suffering and misery .... Therefore he can also behave towards his fellow human being such that it serves his well-being and protects him from physical harm .... And thus love can arise in him, and due to his love the light of knowledge will illuminate him too ....

Every human being can learn to think and act correctly because the delicate feeling expressed by the voice of his conscience was given to him by Me. As soon as he takes notice of it, his nature, which at the start of his incarnation as a human being was still greatly steeped in selfish love, can change into love for other people. This then will guarantee a strong, living faith in Me, his God and Creator, and then he will soon recognise his Father in Me, Who loves him and wants to draw him close to Himself .... And he will strive for this bond of his own free will. I will be able to guide him into perfection, because I will grant help to every human being, I will leave no person in weakness and ignorance, I Am and remain his guide for the duration of his earthly life as long as he does not oppose Me, as long as his will consents to being influenced by his voice of conscience .... which will always happen when the soul is willing to achieve the purpose and goal of its life .... Then the human being can always be certain that I will do everything on My part to help him achieve perfection, that he will never be left to himself and that he will accomplish his goal without doubt ....

The spirits' process of development ....

B.D. 7699 from September 14th 1960, taken from Book No. 81

You have passed through the entire creation .... This is a significant statement which you will only understand when you recognise My plan of return, My plan for the spiritualisation of all immature spiritual substances, when you know about the circumstances which are the reasons for your process through creation .... For only as a human being will you be the first created entity again which you were when I created and externalised you from Me .... Your past desertion from Me into the deepest abyss resulted in your disintegration, so that you passed through creation as countless individual substances.

These were embodied in the works of creation and had to comply with their task in order to gradually proceed on the path of higher development, thus to achieve the return of the spirit .... the transformation of its nature .... in accordance with My eternal plan of Salvation. For every work of creation has its task which consists of a function to serve. Through constant service in the law of compulsion the spiritual substance repeatedly sheds its external form and can embody itself in a new external form and continue like this until it has achieved the necessary maturity to embody itself in a human being. This process of development through the creation of earth irrevocably leads to maturity since it happens within the law of compulsion.

My will is the decisive factor, and in accordance with this will everything fits in with My laws and accomplishes full maturity, even if it requires an infinitely long time until a certain degree is reached when the individual substances have gathered again and then, embodied as a human being, the original soul goes through its final earthly process in order to complete its spiritualisation. But this process through creation cannot be arbitrarily stopped or substituted by another process .... It has to be taken by every being which wants to return to its source and ascend from the deepest abyss to the pinnacle and become perfect again, as it was in the beginning. For the physical creation only emerged as a result of My will, because I recognised it as a way by which My living creations, who had totally distanced themselves from Me, could approach Me again.

Creation itself comprises the fallen spirits which had solidified into spiritual substance that was subsequently transformed by My will into the most diverse forms, to whom I assigned a task and a purpose: to gradually bring the spiritual substance into maturity and to offer this spiritual substance ever new external forms in order to acquire ever increasing maturity .... in order to finally strive as a self-aware entity embodied in a human being towards the ultimate objective .... to consciously look for and find unification with Me and to complete the concluding return to Me .... The only purpose of every work of creation is to shelter spiritual substance, whose ascent to Me is predetermined and which, due to My will, will also achieve this gradual ascent because it fulfils its serving function, if only under the law of compulsion, and through service releases itself from the form time and again.

But eternities will still pass before all minute particles of the last spiritual being will have gathered again .... and then My opposing spirit Lucifer will also turn to Me once more of his own free will, because he will be utterly weak after all of his created beings have left him of their own accord, who then will strive towards Me because they recognise Me as their Lord and Creator .... Only then will My adversary recognise his complete helplessness, and he will long for strength and light again, he will long for My love which once had made him extremely happy, and then he will also willingly open himself for My illumination of love and as My son return to Me again ....

Amen

The word was in the beginning ....

B.D. 7700 from September 15th 1960, taken from Book No. 81

In the beginning you were able to hear My word within you .... The eternal love spoke to you, My thoughts radiated into you as strength of love and resounded in you as My word, you understood Me, you were able to think and thus mentally move My words within you .... Through this you knew about Me Myself, about My relationship with you, about My will, and you felt through My word that I was inclining towards you in infinite love in order to make you happy .... You recognized Me through the word which came forth from Me and sounded to you .... and you now knew that you were independent beings which had originated in Me .... and you returned My love hotly and sincerely, you allowed yourselves to be constantly permeated by My love, you exchanged thoughts with Me through the word, you asked, I answered, I instructed you and created ever more bliss for you, because you recognized and everything in you was light .... And this bliss My word prepared for you, for it was My word that was the connection between the creator and His creature. They could not see Me but they could hear Me, and therefore they also knew of My being, they constantly let themselves be permeated by My strength of love and were thereby inexpressibly happy .... but My word increased their bliss, for the bond with Me as their God and creator, which was recognizable by them, triggered this overwhelming bliss in them .... And My bliss also consisted of the fact that I was able to communicate with the beings created by Me, that I was able to impart profound wisdom to them, that I was able to shape them into My images, because the same light, the same strength, which filled Me, also had to be in them and because I now constantly transmitted this to them through My address. The fact that they were now able to hear My word within themselves and thus had a lively spiritual exchange with Me could also have protected and preserved them from apostasy from Me if I had not also given these beings the ability of thought to evaluate the spiritual knowledge in every direction at their own discretion or of their own free will .... Yet for the sake of spiritual freedom this had to be possible, for I wanted to have 'children' next to Me but not creatures which could only think in one direction .... which were, as it were, machines, albeit created by Me in utmost perfection. But My word could have .... because it was an emanation of love on My part .... also let the being remain in right thinking according to My will, for My word was light in all abundance, and the being was in brightest realization as long as it was able to hear My word within itself. The fact that it then closed itself in free will to the influx of My strength of love, that it was then no longer able to hear My word within itself when it took the path to the abyss, was the result of its wrong thinking under the influence of My adversary, who had likewise heard My word and was unspeakably happy and yet used his thinking ability wrongly and rose up against Me. And thus, as soon as the being closes itself off to Me and My illumination of love it is also no longer able to hear My address .... It can no longer enjoy the bliss which My word triggered in it, for it no longer hears My word because My word is the expression of My love and because the being rejects this love of Mine .... But it will always be My word, My address, the expression of My love which flows into a person's heart which opens itself to Me and desires to hear Me. And My word will constantly resound in infinity, for My love, which will not cease to radiate towards them, will seek to shine everywhere where beings once emanated from Me, and anyone who opens himself will also hear My address and be blissfully happy. For My word was in the beginning and will be for all eternity .... and whether heaven and earth also pass away, My word will stand and ring out to all beings, who want to hear Me, who have an intimate connection with their father, who have therefore become My children, how ever My aim was in the creation of all beings._>Amen

Effect of the spirit on the immature particles ....

B.D. 7701 from September 16th 1960, taken from Book No. 81

When you hear My word in your heart then all unspiritual things must leave you, for My word is divine light and divine strength from which that which resists Me flees. Therefore don't pay attention to the adversities which sometimes cling to you physically but remain in remembrance of Me, listen to Me and don't give space to anything else in your thoughts, and you will be and remain victorious over the evil which tries to oppress you in order to turn you away from Me. The power of My word will penetrate and always give you the upper hand. And therefore you should not be afraid but only ever believe. For I am truly stronger than the one who wants to separate you from Me, and I can use My strength if only you have the same will: to remain united with Me. It is a long path you have already travelled and you have also covered it successfully if you have striven for and found the bond with Me. And you only have a short way to go, which may still be made difficult for you by My adversary who, in his blindness, believes that he can still win you back for himself and therefore does not let go of you. But you should always know that I will no longer let anything fall into his hands which has consciously entered into a bond with Me .... you should know that he can no longer harm you, that he can only still oppress your body, because he seeks to determine everything still immature spiritual in you to work according to his will. But even these substances will calm down if you yourselves adjust yourselves such that you take pity on this still unredeemed spiritual substance and want to help it to join your striving and walk the path of ascent together with you .... Love achieves everything, and all still unredeemed particles in you need love in order to calm down and then also to be at your will. And as soon as your nature is full of love My adversary can no longer influence you because he flees love. But the immature substances in you also feel love beneficially and let go of their oppressions, they keep quiet and can also be persuaded to change and comply with the spirit's desire in you if you repeatedly try to oppose them with the strength of My word .... if you immerse yourselves in My word and thereby the flow of strength from Me constantly flows into you, which can truly bring about a great change of nature in you if only this is your serious will. You need not fear that you will become weak, that you will succumb to the oppressions of immature beings .... The strength of My word protects you from this, and this is the only thing you should try out and again and again listen to or read My word .... you should be spiritually active and not pay attention to the physical afflictions .... And they will give way if they are no match for the power of My word. For you who join yourselves to Me in the earnest will to become and remain Mine for all eternity .... you will truly also constantly enjoy My protection, for as soon as you only allow Me to be present to you, you will also be under the influence of My strength, and this will truly be master over all spiritual substances which try to oppress you ...._>Amen

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

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

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

Amen

Gifts of the spirit ....

B.D. 7703 from September 18th 1960, taken from Book No. 81

You will have to mention the gifts of the spirit if you want to explain the remarkable abilities which express themselves in a divine sense and which are also recognised as divine by everyone who is spiritually inclined himself. For I Myself promised these gifts to those who aspire after them and fulfil the conditions required by Me for the ‘working of the spirit’.

My spirit manifests itself in various ways, always depending on the degree of the soul’s maturity and the task given to a person who receives a gift of the spirit. There are many different gifts .... but it is always an unusual activity for which a person is gifted .... an activity he could not perform as a mere human being. He needs My support for this, he has to acquire My strength, which will then take effect in a person as the gift of healing, or the gift of prophesy, or the gift to receive the truth from Me and spread it in My name .... or, the gift of oratory inspired by Me, so that I Myself can speak through the spirit, but using the mouth of a person who received from Me this gift to hear Me.

And when you draw people’s attention to the different gifts I mentioned, also through the spirit, they will have to recognise that you not only possess a special ‘ability’ .... which admittedly could also be given to you as a talent by your Creator .... but that you gained this ability through spiritual means, that it cannot be given arbitrarily to anyone who cannot show that he fulfilled the condition to receive it. And such an ability can even less be gained academically. People are indeed called and could all spiritually shape themselves such that they could receive a gift of the spirit .... but not all are chosen, precisely because they do not recognise their calling and therefore do not strive for spiritual gifts either .... On the other hand, however, only these gifts are the evidence of a spiritually-inclined way of life, of a person’s specific degree of maturity and love, because My spirit can only work in him when he has attained this degree of maturity. After all, if people never find out that everyone can gain a gift of the spirit, they will not believe the messages from above to the extent they deserve, for they cannot explain them properly and therefore doubt every unusual manifestation of the spirit.

Indeed, people even go as far as to deny spiritual gifts as divine activity altogether and condemn everything unusual as being associated with Satan .... And yet they thereby only give evidence of their own poverty, for where the working of My spirit can no longer by recognised there is no sign of ‘My church’ either, of the church which I Myself founded on earth.

‘My Church’ only exists where the working of My spirit is evident, because My spirit testifies to My presence, and because I will always be present where people sincerely strive to progress spiritually and are thus able to receive or show a gift of the spirit. And therefore it will only ever be of benefit when you mention the gifts of the spirit, when you proclaim My Gospel .... when you remind people of My Words ‘I shall pour out My spirit over all flesh, and servants and maidens shall prophesy ....’ Everyone of My promises will be fulfilled, and thus also this one .... Hence every expression of unbelief should only ever be countered with My promise, and people should know that My working will become particularly evident during the last days, and that then everything will also come to pass as it was announced in Word and Scripture ....

Amen

Reference to time of tribulation ....

B.D. 7704 from September 19th 1960, taken from Book No. 81

Nothing is without meaning and purpose that approaches you, that comes upon you, be it suffering or joy, be it events of a spiritual or earthly nature, for everything is intended in My plan from eternity to bring success to your or your fellow human beings' souls. And thus you should evaluate everything and leave it to Me, for I will guide you on all your paths. The time has come when every individual who is willing can work for Me, and therefore every experience can also serve to carry out vineyard work, for I overlook all paths, I know who will meet you on the way and who is receptive to My word when you recite it to him .... I know about all connections and truly arrange everything so that you can do fruitful work if you are willing to serve Me. And accordingly, everything will approach you as My love and wisdom has recognized it to be beneficial. And therefore you can and should only entrust yourselves to Me and My guidance, for I take care of you like a father takes care of his children. But you should not put your work for Me and My kingdom on the back burner, for this is a priority in view of the approaching end, in view of the time you are approaching. You yourselves will draw strength from your work for Me and My kingdom, and you need not fear failure when you are needed .... But you should also convey the strength to your fellow human beings which they will need in the coming time. And you can only do this by conveying the word which sounds to you directly from above .... which I have blessed with My strength. And therefore I will still open doors and gates for you to carry My word to, and you will find willing listeners, and every one of these listeners will be blessed if he also lives out My word, if he is not only a listener but also a doer of My word. But it is urgently necessary that people are addressed by Me, for only My word can penetrate their hearts, only My word can break the resistance they still offer Me as long as they are in My adversary's hands .... And once their resistance is broken, once their will is willing to turn to Me again, then I also have the right to incessantly feed these souls with My flow of grace and to take care of them, and then their salvation is also certain, then they will have returned to Me again of their own free will, from Whom they had once departed .... And I also want to address all My children who have already become My will, for they, too, will still require much strength which flows to them through My direct address. Consider that you are approaching a time of tribulation such as the world has not yet experienced .... consider that you should support Me during this time, that you should comfort your fellow human beings, that you should point them to Me in their adversity so that they, too, shall recognize and call upon Me and thus seek contact with Me .... And therefore you should all prepare yourselves for this time, you should establish the bond with Me Myself so firmly that nothing can shake you anymore, no matter what you encounter. For I truly take care of every individual who allows Me to be present in him through his desire and his love .... And you will also recognize My guidance at all times and follow Me voluntarily, for you experience My love on a daily basis, and your soul will feel it and now also give itself to Me in complete trust ...._>Amen

False prophets ....

B.D. 7705 from September 20th 1960, taken from Book No. 81

Let Me tell you that you will be increasingly more exposed to assaults by My adversary as the end is approaching, because he uses his power in truly satanic ways, and particularly against My Own who want to serve Me and whom he believes he can still win over for himself. But you merely need to be watchful, because you will always recognize his conduct, you will always know who is hiding behind the schemes which disrupt or entirely prevent your spiritual work. Because it will be confirmed that many false prophets appear under My banner, that they will try to belittle My Words and My information concerning the approaching end. It will be confirmed that people are easy prey, that they would rather believe these false prophets than you, because these will always give them the hope that they are approaching a bright future, that they do not have to fear the future, that their worldly efforts will be successful and that an end to this world is thus unthinkable ....

And in that case you will know that you are dealing with false prophets, and then you will have to remain strong in faith and believe what I had proclaimed and continue to proclaim to you, that the time has been fulfilled and that you humans are in great danger if you do not prepare yourselves for the end such that you need not fear it. Anyone who lives righteously and just, who has found Jesus Christ and completely gives himself to Him, anyone who recognizes Me Myself in Him and thus calls on Me in Jesus when he is in distress will survive the dangers of the last days and emerge unscathed. He will live to see the new earth and its paradisiacal life, and his faith will indeed become a blessing to him, because he will not fear the end anymore, he will hold on to Me and thus endure until the end and be blessed, as I have promised ....

But My adversary will rage and try to influence My Own until the end .... You should know this and not allow yourselves to be misled. However, he has his followers, and they will do his bidding and spread misguided teachings amongst people who completely oppose My Word, which is brought to you directly from above, My Gospel, which you may nevertheless believe totally. You should merely examine what is offered to you from elsewhere whether it corresponds to My Word .... since whatever is contrary to it also shows that it has originated from My adversary, and you can unhesitatingly reject those as false prophets who offer you spiritual knowledge which exclude an approaching end, which promise you humans a long existence on this earth yet .... You are on the threshold of the end and should prepare yourselves, and you would do well by doing so since then you would not need to be afraid of it. Because then the time will come which had also been proclaimed to you .... then a happy and blissful life on the new earth will come, but only for My Own who believe in Me and who defend their faith until the end .... Because everyone who perseveres until the end will be blessed .... they will live a wonderful life in the paradise of the new earth ....

Amen

Address to all vineyard workers ....

B.D. 7706 from September 21st 1960, taken from Book No. 81

My will can take effect where I am not opposed. And My will will truly guide you on the right path which will lead to the salvation of you and your fellow human beings' souls. I want you to gather together in My name .... I want you, who are of the same spirit, to also recognize My will. And therefore you will also be driven from within to proclaim in My name. You shall be carried by the spirit of love and recognize yourselves as My children who are to fulfil the father's command .... You shall recognize yourselves as My servants who are tirelessly active in their lord's vineyard because time is pressing until the harvest. But you shall shut yourselves off from the world or you will not be able to hear My voice which is drowned out by the voice of the world. In My visible guidance you should also see My love for all My children whom I want to see united in joint activity for Me and My kingdom .... And also pay attention to My call which sounds to you from above, for you will feel it when I address you; you will also know what I require of you. Just always give Me your heart so that I can take abode in it and you will then only ever act in My presence as it is your father's will. I want to work through you, who are without resistance to Me, and you should only let yourselves be used by Me as instruments, you should completely submit your will to Mine, and you will feel in your heart what task I give to each one of you, because each one has to do different work according to his ability and his place where I Myself have placed him. Yet you all serve Me in My vineyard as servants whom the father of the house will bless .... Carry My word into all the world .... Continue to pray the gospel which you receive from Me in all purity and don't ask whether you will receive an earthly reward for it, for I Myself reward the work for Me and My kingdom and My servants will not need to suffer any hardship .... But you need not work for Me for the sake of reward, for then your reward will already be gone. You should be driven by love for Me and love for your fellow human being who is in great spiritual hardship .... For only loving activity is successful, and where selfless work is done for Me and My kingdom I Myself will be there with My blessing, earthly and spiritually .... And again and again let yourselves be addressed by Me .... and in intimate contact with Me you will also clearly recognize My will, and you will also understand Me without the audible word, for I enlighten the spirit of everyone who intimately unites with Me and desires to hear My address within himself. I will always be in the midst of you where only two or three gather in My name, and you will always be able to hear words of love and grace which touch your hearts and cause them to flare up in love for Me .... For then I will be present to you, and My presence will also trigger love in you, because My ray of love will strike you and penetrate your hearts. I will guide you and truly lead you back to Me Myself again .... I will gather My small flock and it will hear its shepherd's beckoning calls and gather at My feet .... It will follow Me wherever I lead it, for it entrusts itself to Me because My sheep feel My love ...._>Amen

What are graces ....

B.D. 7707 from September 23rd 1960, taken from Book No. 81

And you can all be assured of My grace .... My love for you humans constantly impels Me to distribute grace, because without grace you cannot become blessed .... In your weakness and lack of strength you need help, but you have brought about your weakness and lack of strength yourselves, and even as human beings you are often not willing to return to the 'eternal source of strength' of your own accord .... And therefore all My aids for your return are 'gifts of grace' .... which you only need to accept willingly in order for them to take effect on you. My love for you is immense but I nevertheless cannot act against My eternal order, I cannot release you from your bondage out of love as long as you don't want it yourselves. I must leave your will free, thus I cannot, out of My might and love, place you into a state which signifies bliss for you .... into a state of light and strength and freedom .... because you once stepped out of My order yourselves in free will. But out of My love I can give you gifts, and now your free will decides again whether you want to accept My gift and also make use of it. And therefore you are constantly receiving an influx of blessings which you often don't recognize as such but which can influence your will and then you also use them for the salvation of your soul. You can only become blessed by grace, for you always have to make use of My help which, however, is always granted to you by My love. And therefore also appeal for My grace and increase its influx, for a prayer for grace is a spiritual request which will always be granted. And then also gratefully receive the blessings .... But what do I mean by graces? No external customs which you call 'means of grace', for only that which takes place inwardly, in the heart, is ever valid before Me .... I now direct your life in such a way that you will always be able to derive the greatest benefit for your soul from everything that happens, from everything you experience .... Thus I will always assist you on your path back to Me, I will always try to influence your will so that it turns towards Me, and this will also sometimes happen through suffering and adversity .... I will create opportunities for you where you can serve Me in love, and I will always turn your thoughts towards what is right and good .... And all these are graces which can help you to ascend if you use them .... But My greatest gift of grace, which will let you safely reach your aim, is My word, My address, which sounds to you from above and which can always lead to perfection if it is listened to and lived out .... thus if the grace of receiving the word is correctly evaluated. And I speak to many people through My word, directly or indirectly, but My word has an extraordinary effect of strength and can therefore be acknowledged as the most effective means of grace, for with My word I truly provide you humans with assistance of a very significant kind .... For you can recognize Me Myself in the word, and therefore the return will be made easy for you, you can believe and learn to love Me, and then you will also strive towards Me and your return will be guaranteed. Then My love will have helped you and you will have accepted My gift of grace and will now also be able to safely ascend. Make sure that My flow of grace touches you daily and open your heart to it, for My love wants to help you, My love does not want to let you get lost ...._>Amen

True neighbourly love: Passing on the divine Word ....

B.D. 7708 from September 24th 1960, taken from Book No. 81

You cannot accomplish a greater work of neighbourly love than unselfishly distributing My Word, the Gospel, which your fellow human beings have to know in order to travel their earthly path successfully. Spiritual work is not valued by fellow human beings because it doesn't generate earthly success, yet as soon as you are spiritually active, expect no earthly rewards and only impart to your fellow human beings what I Myself offer you from above .... you are truly doing works of neighbourly love which extend into eternity, for they are helping the souls to mature, they can prepare them for entry into the kingdom of light when the soul discards its earthly body and has to leave everything behind .... Then it will have spiritual possessions to take across into eternity. You shall provide and bestow upon others just as I have bestowed upon My disciples the bread of heaven, the water of life .... This is the greatest gift of love which you can give to your fellow human beings .... it is true neighbourly love if you unselfishly carry out the tasks which are necessary to pass on My Word, for I Myself want to address people through you, since they are unable to hear My voice directly.

People are suffering great adversity, for they only use their earthly life to acquire earthly profits and yet shall consider their soul, which ought to mature during their earthly life. Whatever you therefore undertake in order to lead your fellow human beings onto the path of faith .... whatever you undertake on My instruction in order to proclaim the Gospel to them is selfless neighbourly love and blessed by Me. You yourselves are not yet aware of the great gift which you receive from Me every day, you are as yet unable to estimate its value and its significance or all of you, who know about the working of My spirit, would eagerly distribute what is sent to you by My love and grace.

You don't realise that you are able to scatter seed which can bear glorious fruit .... you should not leave the seed unused, and you should always rely on My help, for where you get into difficulties My angels and guardians are ready to help and protect you, so that you can just do your spiritual work in order to bring help to those who won't find the right path without you. For there are still many I want to address through you, and to do so I only require your will to be of diligent service to Me .... I accept your service, for I Am only able to speak through a human mouth, given that people's state is already too unspiritual as to speak to them in any other way, and their freedom of will has to be upheld. Yet you shall derive strength from the fact that I promise you My support as soon as you are just willing to take care of your neighbour's spiritual adversity. There is not much time left, and the Words I speak to you will sound increasingly admonishing; however, you only need to entrust your will to Me and then you will also conduct yourselves in accordance with My will. And everything will sort itself out if you commend yourselves to Me with complete trust and only ever let Me reign.

Thus, all of you who are of service to Me, accept My blessing and work tirelessly in My vineyard, for the day is soon over and the night is approaching .... a turning-point is coming earthly and spiritually, the time of the harvest is coming .... the day of Judgment is approaching .... But first I still want to win souls over for Me, and you shall help Me and consider your neighbour with love .... You shall work for Me and My kingdom, you shall proclaim My name in the world and testify to My working in you, so that people will be able to believe and become blessed ....

Amen

God's love .... Last days ....

B.D. 7709 from September 26th 1960, taken from Book No. 81

You all ought to make use of My love, you ought to know that you have a loving Father Who takes care of you and also grants you joys if they help you to become perfect. My love for My children is never-ending, and all of you who strive towards Me are My children, if you want Me to be your Father. And My love will never stop giving itself away, it will give you everything you need in an earthly as well as a spiritual way. And thus it is up to yourselves to make use of My Fatherly love, you need only open yourselves and allow yourselves to be spoken to by Me and surely, you will not remain empty-handed. For I still have much to say to you, because time is coming to an end and because everything will come to pass as it is proclaimed in Word and Scripture. And you shall inform your fellow human beings of this .... although you will not often find receptive hearts which want to listen to you and believe you.

Nevertheless, the adversity of the time demands mentioning what will shortly come to pass .... And anyone who believes shall be saved, anyone who does not believe and does not prepare himself for the end will perish, i.e., he will meet his judgment when I establish My eternal order again .... when the end of this earth has come. And you humans approach this time with giant strides. And even My love cannot delay the end, because My love includes all spiritual substances, even those spirits which are still bound and shall start or continue their evolutionary process. The fact that people generally fail and make no use of their earthly life in order to mature their souls is their own fault, their free will, and consequently the reason why I cannot divert from My plan of Salvation and leave the still unredeemed spirits in pain. But I will truly still do everything possible to help people find a way out of their spiritual adversity .... I will keep talking to people through you and refer them to the time which lies ahead of them .... I will come to them openly as well as secretly and allow them to recognise Me so that they cannot say that they have not been warned.

And anyone who thus professes Me, who tries to fulfil My will, can also rest assured that he belongs to My Own, that I grant him My love, that I will protect and take care of him until the end of the world .... until the battle has come to an end which is still to come to you humans: the battle of faith, which will be provoked by My adversary because he will rage amongst My Own until the end in order to make them desert Me again. His goal is to destroy the remaining faith which still exists amongst humanity. But this faith is by and large rather weak, and that is why I want to strengthen it by means of My direct communication, so that the faith will become firm and persevere unwaveringly when My name is confessed before the world. Whomever I can address Myself to .... be it directly or through My messengers, will gain a living faith and no threats will frighten him, because he has recognised his Father and cannot let go of Him anymore.

But anyone without a living faith will surrender it for the sake of earthly things, and he will even lose his life to My adversary .... he will be like a reed waving in the wind and blessed is he if he can still lift himself up with your help, if he allows himself to be taught by you and still finds his way back to Me in the last hour. For I will accept anyone who still comes to Me in the last hour, because I don't want you to go astray, because I want to grant eternal life to all of you. This is why My Word shall still be eagerly spread, this is why I want to address you time and again, I want to speak through you to people Myself who usually open their hearts to Me voluntarily. But you can knock at their heart's door on My behalf, and if I then come Myself and they open their door to Me I will also speak to them Myself and they will be very happy. For My love will never stop, and anyone who gives his love to Me will receive gifts in abundance from Me, I will make him very happy in a spiritual and earthly way, for then his soul cannot be harmed anymore, then it will be devoted to Me and will never be able to detach itself from Me either .... For its love applies to Me and is warmly reciprocated by Me, and it will be and remain blissfully happy forever ....

Amen

Work of the spirit in man ....

B.D. 7710 from September 26th 1960, taken from Book No. 81

To you it is given to testify of Me .... I don't want people to forget about Me, that they certainly look for a God in the distance, Who created everything that surrounds them, that their faith in this God is only a very doubtful one, for at most they ascribe to Him an exceeding great power; but love and wisdom .... which would make a father credible to them .... they doubt. And therefore their relationship with Me is not the right one, they have no bond whatsoever with Me, they are distant from Me. But I want them to be able to believe in Me and therefore reveal Myself in many ways. For their happiness after the death of their body depends on their faith in Me. And at all times I have raised up servants and handmaidens for Myself who received My direct revelations and passed them on, and thus I gave them a true testimony of Me, because they were able to receive a true image themselves, because they stood completely in truth .... because they were instructed by My spirit within themselves. But these have a task, for they receive a gift from Me which also obliges them. People mostly lack the knowledge that I speak to them directly under certain conditions, and that is why it is also so difficult to demand their faith in that which flows to them indirectly or directly through My spirit .... You all know the promise that I will "pour out My Spirit on all flesh and prophesy to servants and maidservants ....” - "that I will remain with My own until the end ...." and that I will send them "the comforter, the spirit of truth ...." They know the book of books and yet they have not yet taken a stand on these promises of Mine, they have not yet thought about how these promises might be fulfilled .... And therefore you shall enlighten them, and you shall inform them of the 'working of the spirit in you', of the father's direct bond with His child and of His revelations which the father's love bestows upon His children. For people should not confuse the 'working of the spirit' with mediumistic spirit announcements which come to those people from the realm of the supersensible, which are given up of their own free will .... which can therefore be used as a 'form' through which spiritual beings of different degrees of maturity want to and can express themselves. For it is about the truth of what is imparted to you humans from above. It concerns the value of the proclamations, it concerns the value of My word which you humans do not recognize and therefore do not appreciate in its significance. But you should know that the father speaks to His children and that He has important things to say to them because the end is near .... You should know that you can only become blissfully happy through the truth and that this truth can only come forth from Me, as the 'eternal truth', and that it is very significant for you to come into possession of this truth. For it gives you a true picture of Me, it explains My nature to you as far as you are able to grasp it, and it awakens the love in you which is necessary for unification with Me .... spiritual marriage, which is the epitome of your bliss for time and eternity. You humans should know about My direct revelation but you should also know that you can all prepare yourselves as vessels into which I can let My spirit flow. For you need only awaken the spiritual spark in you through a life of love, which then unites with its father-spirit of eternity .... which now expresses itself in you and imparts most glorious spiritual possessions to you, which are everlasting and will one day constitute your wealth in the spiritual kingdom when your soul relies on the earthly body .... And therefore you shall bear witness wherever the opportunity presents itself, for people shall learn to believe in Me that I want to be their father, and they shall love Me, whatever only the impartation of truth from Me brings about ...._>Amen

Love for "sick souls" ....

B.D. 7711 from September 27th 1960, taken from Book No. 81

I have given you one commandment: that you love one another .... And this also means that one learns to bear the other's faults patiently, that he bears his weaknesses with full consideration, that he tries to reconcile in love when disputes arise .... that everyone should be a true brother to the other with whom he is naturally united by love, because you are all children of one father. You should not forget that you are all My creatures whom I want to educate into children and that I use all means of education on you .... and this also includes that you have to learn patience towards those whom you are not always able to show the feeling of love .... But you should learn not to condemn, not to get angry with those .... you should learn to be considerate, for their souls are still ill, and you should have compassion for these 'souls', that they themselves are in spiritual hardship and are grateful for every little service of love you thus render to the souls. And love will always awaken love in return .... But if you abandon those people whom you believe you cannot love because of their faults and weaknesses, then it is like denying help to a sick person, for the soul is sick as long as it is still held captive by the one who also influences the person in an unfavourable way. You humans, you all possess My love .... Should you not also be able to love one another if you know that your father loves all His children and wants to win them over for Himself? And should you not also be able to turn your love towards weak, imperfect and often sinful people if you know that they are still strongly bound? Try to free them from their shackles but don't withdraw your love from them .... Exercise patience, as I Myself must also use it again and again towards you, all of you who are still sinful and bound by faults and weaknesses .... For you all do not live out love to the extent that you are perfect. And I also have to be patient with you and your weakness and will not let you fall .... But you shall be My children who fulfil the father's will .... you should therefore first observe the commandment of love and be of one mind among yourselves .... For discord has a bad effect by always giving birth to new discord and the enemy of your souls always successfully finds a target. And you should always bear in mind that I Myself am love and that anyone who wants to belong to Me must also remain in love .... And if unpleasant thoughts fill you, if you take offence at your fellow human beings and get angry with them, your degree of love for Me will also decrease, since I am also their father and therefore you should love them. And thus don't misjudge your earthly task: Remain in love and only ever let the spirit of love recognize you, so that you yourselves bear witness that you are united with Me. For you should sow love so that you will also reap love ...._>Amen

Delivering the divine word ....

B.D. 7712 from September 27th 1960, taken from Book No. 81

I only want to achieve one thing, that you recognize what earthly life is given to you for. And then your free will has to decide to live in accordance with the purpose of earthly life so that you will reach your aim: the spiritualization of your souls as long as they live in the flesh on this earth. If the will fails then you yourselves will be to blame if you are banished again and have to take the infinitely long path of development through the creations of the new earth once more. And therefore knowledge shall be presented to you humans which you can move in your thoughts and take a stand on it. And I will present this knowledge to you Myself so that you will know the truth .... However, I can only address those people who open their hearts and ears and want to hear Me. But I also remember with mercy all those who still close themselves off to Me, and I likewise want to introduce them to the knowledge and must do so through servants devoted to Me. They shall therefore ensure that My word is spread to all sisters and brothers .... And I Myself provide help, I Myself support you who want to render this service to Me by bringing you together with your fellow human beings, by constantly creating new opportunities where you can serve Me, where you can pass on to your neighbour what you receive from Me. Therefore, believe that this is your main task to spread My word as soon as it is conveyed to you by Me Myself, and devote yourselves exclusively to this work, because only that has a powerful effect on your fellow human beings which originated from Me Myself. Admittedly, the spiritual knowledge My adversary presents to them is always more readily accepted, and the masses will always support such spiritual knowledge .... Yet this spiritual knowledge will not emanate strength which touches the soul. It will appeal to the intellect, the intellect will also process it, and the human being will not feel that he has been addressed by God Himself .... And then My spirit will not work either, and the word you hear will not penetrate people's hearts who are still to be won for My kingdom. You humans, don't value your intellectual activity too highly when it comes to spiritual knowledge .... rather accept the knowledge which wears a simple garment, for your father in heaven speaks to His children in a very simple and understandable way .... and beware of giving it another garment .... i.e., do not seek to improve and explain with human words and human intellect, for you cannot transform My pure word without disastrous repercussions .... Understand this and thus guide your fellow human beings on My behalf into the knowledge of their purpose of existence, and then let My word take effect itself .... And the will of the individual will be decisive as to whether the person finds his way to Me and to the right faith. For as soon as he takes the path to Me himself I will also help him to ascend and he will reach his aim .... I can only address a few people directly but where it is possible for Me I also impose an obligation on My servants: To pass on My word as unchanged and pure as they receive it from Me, and every one of My vineyard labourers will be blessed who agrees to help .... For it is about the salvation of the few people who are of good will but still undecided .... And these I don't want to lose to My adversary, which is easily possible if they are not offered the truth which originates from Me. And these words of Mine apply to all of you who are sincerely willing to serve Me and who therefore also receive the assignment from Me to be diligent labourers in My vineyard ...._>Amen

Visible presence of Jesus ....

B.D. 7713 from September 28th 1960, taken from Book No. 81

"Where two or three are gathered in My name, there am I in the midst of them ...." I have promised you My presence and I stand by My word: I am with you who make Me the content of your thoughts, who love Me and therefore also desire the bond with Me. And where I am present My spirit will certainly become effective, and you will all be of one spirit because I Myself guide your thoughts and express Myself through your mouth. I am in your midst .... but I require your loving remembrance of Me .... you shall gather in My Name; I, your God and father, your Jesus, will be the aim of all of you, I will be the one who fills your heart, and My name you shall pronounce in faith, in reverence and love .... And I will be in the midst of you, and thus you can be certain of My presence and present all questions to Me which occupy you .... I will answer them through My spirit. I still dwell on earth, only not in the flesh as I once did, yet in spirit I am with everyone who longs for My presence .... But I can also appear to you visibly if this is advisable for you, if I can help you or strengthen you in great spiritual or earthly adversity .... Perhaps not everyone will be able to see Me if their degree of maturity does not allow for spiritual vision. Or I will come unnoticed and also leave again, and you will ask yourselves why you feel exceedingly blessed .... you will need some time until it becomes clear to you what you were allowed to experience .... But you will always experience great spiritual strengthening and burn with ever increasing love for Me, because you already have love within yourselves otherwise you would not have been allowed to behold Me. And you should rejoice when you have such an experience, for then you will know that the father leans down to His children in order to reveal Himself to them. But there will only ever be a few who can bear Me and My visible presence, even though I appear in a simple garment and leave all fullness of light behind so as not to blind you who still walk on the dark earth. But where a light has already been kindled, there I can appear visibly without danger for their souls. And the hardship will befall you in such a way that you will need heavenly strengthening in order to be able to withstand it. And I Myself will bring this to you .... and you should not doubt it, for I gave you the promise: "Where two or three are gathered in My name, there am I in the midst of them ...." and who will hinder Me if I allow one or the other to see Me? .... Therefore always think of Me with heartfelt love and wait for My coming, which is very easily possible even before the time. For whatever happens is based on My love and wisdom and shall only ever serve the maturing of your souls, which I want to draw to Myself in ardent love and which are often so weak that they shall be exceptionally strengthened, which My appearance will also achieve. And thus always keep My promise and live in the awareness of My presence when you come together to exchange spiritual information, and I will be with you because the father longs for His children and also wants to make them happy with His presence ...._>Amen

False spirits .... False prophets ....

B.D. 7714 from September 29th 1960, taken from Book No. 81

I have chosen you as My servants because I foresaw that your inner will is good and also strong so that you will assert yourselves where it concerns endorsing the truth. For much is offered to people as truth and yet it did not originate from Me .... And if My servant therefore recognises this he must not remain silent but speak up, he must confront this error with the pure truth .... then he must show that he is My representative on earth and that he is in My service. Thus he must profess My name before the world, he must wholeheartedly support what he has received from Me Myself because I had chosen him to work for Me as an apostle in the last days. And whoever has been placed by Me into this office will also receive the strength from Me to speak in My name .... And he will work like an apostle of truth and expose My adversary, who has also chosen his instruments in order to cause confusion within My ranks. And therefore hear what My spirit proclaims to you: the time until the end is but short yet the day of the end has been predetermined for eternity .... And wherever you humans will be, you shall all be informed of this forthcoming end, because I will still send very obvious signs to follow which can be observed everywhere and which will also occupy people's thoughts. However, precisely these signs will provoke the most conflicting opinions because then My adversary's activity will start to emerge which confuses people's thoughts, for one person will no longer understand the other, everyone will pursue different goals which he will be unable to relinquish, and only a few will be spiritually awake and come to the right conclusions .... And then many false prophets will appear ....

And this is what I want to caution you of, do not believe every spirit which wants to talk to you and especially not those which deny the end, which cannot believe that an end of this earth is reconcilable with My love .... And then be careful and sincerely pray to receive the truth. Do not believe every spirit which tries to express itself through people who willingly accept it, and counter every such teaching with My pure Word which sounds from above because you humans shall live in truth .... For only through truth can you reach the goal. And there are many spirits amongst you which do not speak on My instructions, but you can identify them by the fact that they argue the end, that they object to the revelations proclaiming a near end and that they meet the messengers with hostility. The time is fulfilled, and especially during the last days many false prophets will yet arise and try to invalidate the pure truth from Me. And they will perform extraordinary feats to make you believe in them, but it is not My spirit which speaks through them, it is not My strength which works in them .... they are adverse forces which rage everywhere and, being followers of My adversary, are also endowed with strength because they are enslaved by him and affect people of this earth in his will. And then you, who want to serve Me, shall loyally stand by your Lord, you shall defend the truth, you shall not let yourselves be misled, for you know that you speak in My name, and you will also receive the strength from Me, for then I Myself will speak through you. And thus, where My pure Gospel is proclaimed that is where the end of this earth will also be announced and that people are quickly approaching this end and therefore should prepare themselves for it. And where your speeches meet with resistance that is where you will also clearly recognise My adversary's activity, and you shall separate yourselves from them and not preach together, for they are not My representatives but Satan's emissaries, who is particularly active wherever the light establishes itself .... And he will not succeed in extinguishing the light, for I Myself emanate it down to earth and illuminate the hearts of My Own so that they will clearly realise that they are being addressed by the Father, Who is the light of eternity ....

Amen

Redemption work of the individual ....

B.D. 7715 from September 30th 1960, taken from Book No. 81

Each one of you has his task, each one of you will be given My assignment, providing he is willing to serve Me, as his father of eternity .... provided that he himself does everything to prepare himself for the work for Me, for his assignment, because I Myself want to work through him and this requires spiritual work on yourselves which you must voluntarily accomplish in order to then also be called by Me. And then I will guide each one of you and place him in the place where I need him. And then he shall only ever endeavour to carry out his master's will as a faithful servant, and he will accept My instructions and follow them. But then he will take part in the redeemer's work, for he scatters the seed, he prepares the fields .... the hearts .... to receive the seed. He distributes to them the word of God .... As a faithful labourer he always endeavours to introduce people to My teaching and to bring them to living faith in Me. And the seed will sprout, it will take root and spread, it will bring forth tender little plants which will grow and flourish with loving care, which will also bear fruit one day according to My will. And there are still vast stretches of land to be cultivated, many human hearts still need to be addressed and made receptive for My word, for where My word does not resound there is great spiritual hardship. On earth as well as in the kingdom of the beyond, however, much redemptive work still has to be done, for many souls have not yet heard My word, it has not yet penetrated them and thus it has not yet been able to take root either .... And therefore I instruct My servants to mention My word everywhere, for they will always be surrounded by souls which take part in every instruction, in every spiritual exchange, in every debate conducted by you humans who are impelled by My spirit. And you should pay special attention to these souls when you find little favour with your fellow human beings, when they close themselves off to My word if you bring it to them. The souls in the beyond hunger for food and drink, and they seek these from you because .... where My word resounds .... they feel good and are satisfied. Therefore never think that you speak My word ineffectually, but use every opportunity to also exchange with your fellow human beings in order to offer them My word, just as you have received it from Me yourselves. And remember those souls who willingly listen to you and are happy when they can fetch food and drink from you. For this is redemptive work which extends into the kingdom of the beyond and which every one of you can accomplish if only he wants to serve Me from within .... For you, who strive spiritually yourselves, all of you also have a host of souls around you, some of whom you were already united with on earth .... and your thoughts eagerly pursue them, and they, as it were, accept the spiritual knowledge which you yourselves absorb when reading or thinking about spiritual things. Anyone who seriously works on himself can do such redeemer work, and then he will also be able to count himself among My servants who are active in My vineyard, even if he has no obvious mission to fulfil .... But his redeemer's work will then extend more into the spiritual kingdom, where help must likewise be brought to the souls so that they will still reach the stage before the end, so that they can ascend in the spiritual kingdom. My love also applies to all of them, and therefore I bless all who are thus active for Me and My kingdom, who consciously want to serve Me and fulfil the mission they inwardly feel in their heart ...._>Amen

Teacher training from God's ....

B.D. 7716 from October 1st 1960, taken from Book No. 81

Everything you desire to know and which is helpful for your soul will be conveyed to you by My spirit. For those I teach Myself shall be active as teachers again, they shall pass on the knowledge I give them to their fellow human beings. And I Myself will ensure that it is given to those who hunger for it, for I truly know whose souls need food and drink, and thus I administer the bread of heaven, the water of life, to them through you .... People shall be guided into truth, knowledge shall be made accessible to them which makes the meaning and purpose of earthly life understandable to them. People shall be taught the truth, and therefore I Myself must take care of them, since I am the truth from eternity .... Knowledge must come forth from Me if it is to lead people back to Me .... It is true that knowledge is also imparted to people in schools, and this need not be wrong either if the teachers are enlightened by My spirit and take their task of guiding people to the light seriously. But spiritual knowledge which is transmitted in a scholastic way can also be very permeated by error which the recipient, however, is unable to distinguish or separate from the truth. And then people's thoughts become confused, and the result is that people argue with each other and in the end are inclined to reject everything and can no longer establish correct contact with Me, their God and creator of eternity .... And then the necessity arises that I Myself have to look for people again whom I train as teachers .... it results that the pure truth is directly conveyed by Me to earth and that I now give My disciples the task to be active as teachers towards their fellow human beings, so that the pure truth is spread again, so that the knowledge of the meaning and purpose of their earthly life is conveyed to people again .... so that I Myself will be presented to them as a God of love, wisdom and omnipotence, Whom they shall acknowledge and love if they want to become blissfully happy. Misguided teachings are unable to awaken love in people, but the truth can cause the spark of love to flare up, and when this has happened the connection with Me has also been established and the meaning and purpose of earthly life as a human being has been fulfilled .... And therefore I will again and again train teachers for Myself who are tasked with proclaiming My pure gospel and who shall seize all opportunities to speak in My name and especially when erroneous spiritual knowledge is advocated. And such a teacher need not fear that he is incapable of doing so, for My strength works through him and I will put the words into his mouth so that he cannot help but speak what is My will, for then My spirit will speak through him, then he will merely be the mouthpiece I use to convey the truth to people. And you can consider yourselves fortunate when your souls are fed with the right nourishment, when the living water is offered to you at the source .... You will only ever need to draw from it and your soul will be able to refresh and strengthen itself for its pilgrimage on this earth. But where I Myself have opened up such a spring for you, do not pass by .... I keep telling you this because you have to take the path of truth in order to reach the aim, and because the truth can only be offered to you by Myself .... And I will truly choose the right vessels for Myself into which the living water can flow .... and I will make the fruit of life accessible to all of you who earnestly desire to become blessed ...._>Amen

The way to the cross must be taken ....

B.D. 7717 from October 1st 1960, taken from Book No. 81

All of you will return to the heavenly home, all of you will be embraced by My fatherly arms again, and all of you will be immeasurably blessed. This is certain for you who are still unfinished in the flesh on this earth or in the kingdom of the beyond. For one day the time will come when your heart will be aglow with love and press towards the father's heart, and then I will have achieved My aim which I set Myself when I created the spirits. And if only My love were decisive then the heavenly realms would have welcomed you all long ago, for I long for My children and want to make them immeasurably happy. But My love cannot act against My law of eternity .... And this demands the voluntary return of the beingness which had once departed from Me and had also distanced itself from Me of its own free will. And thus the path to ascent for you humans .... who are the once fallen original spirits .... of quite different lengths of time. It can be covered in a short time, but it can also require eternities, it can need several periods of development and also mean for you endless long times in torment and bondage .... But you will reach your aim one day. As human beings you don't know about the agonizing state of bondage, but I know about it and I love you and would like to spare you the agony so that you don't sink back into the same state again which you have long overcome as human beings. This is why I offer Myself as your guide on your earthly path of life, this is why I approach you on the pilgrim path in order to show you the shortest path which leads upwards. And this path leads to the cross .... The path of ascent leads to Jesus Christ, and anyone who takes this path will most certainly return to Me in the father's house, because Jesus Christ and I are one .... because you acknowledge lf Me Myself when you recognize Him and His act of salvation and thus allow yourselves to be redeemed by Him, Who has redeemed the guilt of your past apostasy from Me for you. This path has to be irrevocably taken on earth or in the beyond, the path to the cross, because then My love, which had to step back for the sake of justice when you fell, can become active again. But justice was satisfied through the man Jesus, in Whom I embodied Myself .... Thus My love has created the balance, justice has not been eliminated, for as a human being I took upon Myself an abundance of suffering and pain as a sacrifice of atonement for the great guilt which once was your apostasy from Me .... But your will must now also accept this sacrifice of atonement, your will must consciously request the forgiveness of guilt, thus you must confess yourselves guilty under the cross .... You must freely call upon the divine redeemer Jesus Christ for forgiveness of the guilt of sin, for His mercy and His grace .... You must take the path to the cross .... And then My love can take hold of you again, for you then recognize Me Myself, Whom you once refused to acknowledge, for He and I are one, I Myself redeemed you on the cross from sin and death in the human being Jesus .... And once you have taken this path to the cross, then your earthly progress will be complete, then the stage of development will have been reached which secures your entrance into the spiritual kingdom. Then you need no longer fear a repeated path through earthly creation, then you can ascend ever higher in the spiritual kingdom, My love will draw you and your love for Me will become ever stronger .... father and child will unite, and the beatitudes I prepare for My children will be unlimited, because My love is also unlimited and wants to give itself away eternally ...._>Amen

Word preacher with or without love ....

B.D. 7718 from October 2nd 1960, taken from Book No. 81

No true testimony of Me will be able to be given where the spirit of love does not reign .... for without love I will not be recognized, without love you cannot be offered the truth because I, love and truth, am one. And thus you should also not look for truth where love is missing .... And when people speak of Me without love they only speak words without spirit and life, for them I am only an idol, they belittle Me and live in deepest paganism without realizing the one true God Who is love, wisdom and might in Himself. They have no God, even if they do not deny Him, for I am love and they lack love .... so they live without God .... And if they want to testify about Me then you must not listen to them because they are unable to bring you truth, because for the sake of an earthly purpose or reward they only accept one God, of Whom they now want to testify. But even 'love' is sometimes feigned and yet it is not there. For this reason it is always important to have open ears and eyes, because satan reigns in the world and wages his battle against Me until I bind him on the day of judgment .... And he will make use of many people whom he disguises as angels of light and who thus seemingly speak for Me and yet only carry out his will: to undermine faith in Me, for where no pure truth is offered the human being will also start to doubt the truth of everything he is given in spiritual knowledge. And this is My adversary's purpose .... and therefore you will often meet people who proclaim Me and yet are unable to touch your heart .... for they cannot represent or offer the truth because they are without love, and their unloving spirit can be felt in their speeches. Yet when a love-filled person speaks of Me and My nature then you feel addressed by Me Myself, for then love speaks in that person and this love is Me Myself .... And thus you, who represent Me and My word on earth, will not find understanding with unloving people, and then you will also know that you should not waste the divine gift of love on them, for then it is My adversary himself who causes them to reject Me, and then even the greatest gift of love will lose its effectiveness .... Love is everything .... but without love you are dead in spirit, and no spiritual gift can touch you either, i.e. it does not penetrate your heart and cannot be felt by the heart as a divine gift. Thus you cannot bear witness to Me if you are not filled with love. Then it is just a dead gospel, then it is human word but not God's word which you proclaim .... then there is no strength in it which awakens your soul to life. And every 'servant of God' should take it to heart that he will only truly serve Me if he has love within himself, because then My spirit can also work in him and thus I Myself speak through him when he brings the gospel to his listeners. But if the messenger is filled with the spirit his word will ignite, it will touch the hearts, for then the strength of My word will overflow and truly bring about a change in the person who allows himself to be addressed by Me Myself through the mouth of My servant. Yet in the last days before the end love has grown cold among people .... accordingly, the presentation of truth has also become rare because neither the proclaimers nor the listeners live in love .... And thus faith in Me is no longer alive either, for I am no longer presented to people according to truth, they receive a distorted image of Me .... And they will fail when the decision of faith is demanded of them in the end. This is why I preach love to you again and again .... I Myself show you so much love that it truly should not be difficult for you to love Me again, and that you would then also be active in loving your neighbour .... And you would recognize Me in My nature, you would penetrate the truth, and you would also bear witness to Me yourselves in all truth, because love kindles the light of knowledge, because no human being walks in darkness anymore who lives in love ...._>Amen

The light of eternity ....

B.D. 7719 from October 3rd 1960, taken from Book No. 81

In Me you recognize the light which shines from eternity, which radiates out into infinity and which also wants to penetrate your hearts so that it becomes bright and all darkness disappears. I, therefore, am the light from eternity which descended to earth, which was shrouded in darkness and therefore an unhappy abode for you humans. I Myself descended to earth and kindled a light in people .... I brought them the divine teaching of love, the observance of which certainly imparted knowledge to them .... And realization is light, realization is knowledge of the pure truth which emanates from Me .... I showed people the path to reach the light .... I showed them the path of love which irrefutably had to earn people wisdom, for the fire of love radiates the light of wisdom. The 'light' descended to earth, thus 'love' has come to earth .... and love is I Myself, I Myself am the original source of light .... And as such you shall learn to recognize Me, you shall know that My essence is 'love' and therefore must also be unlimited 'wisdom' and that .... whoever is illuminated by My love is also guided into deepest wisdom and thus stands in knowledge. Therefore no human being can become knowledgeable, i.e. come to realization, if love has not first been kindled, for without love there is no wisdom, just as there can be no light without fire. And if you humans want to mature in knowledge you first have to make an effort to mature in love, thus to let your degree of love rise ever higher, because then the light will be within you and brightly illuminate everything which was still dark before. And you should only ever request strength in prayer, you should ask for the strengthening of your will, and this request will truly be granted to you. For through heartfelt prayer to Me you connect yourselves with the source of strength, with the source of light and love .... you connect yourselves with the one Who can and wants to give you everything but Who wants to be approached by you for it, because then His working will be unlimited if your will belongs to Him .... I come to you and truly kindle the light of enlightenment in you, I truly do not leave you in spiritual darkness, for I impart strength to you which you then use for loving activity and then the light in you is also kindled and you gain knowledge. And thus you will understand that your intellect cannot give you knowledge which corresponds to truth or that you cannot call knowledge 'realization', for realization is wisdom and wisdom is the knowledge from Me which gives light and beatitude. And this alone is what you should strive for, because this knowledge will be taken over into eternity, because it will not pass away like earthly knowledge, because it constitutes the human being's wealth with which the soul will one day be able to work in the kingdom of the beyond. You should desire the light from Me, you should turn to the light Itself to enlighten you; you should pray for it and you will receive it, for through prayer you already establish the connection with the eternal light and It will send Its rays into your heart and give to you according to your desire. Light, love, truth .... everything belongs to Me, everything belongs to My being, and one cannot be thought of without the other .... but as soon as you stand in knowledge, as soon as you call a truthful knowledge your own, the darkness of night is broken in which you were for endless times .... you have taken the path back to Me, you are moving towards the light again, you let yourselves be illuminated by Me as the 'eternal light', and you will once again reshape your being into the original being .... you will become what you were in the beginning .... beings full of light, who are constantly connected with the original source of light and power .... you will be blessed and remain forever ...._>Amen

Dangers of psychic reception ....

B.D. 7720 from October 5th 1960, taken from Book No. 81

And time and again I admonish you to love, because only love will awaken the spirit within you to life so that it can manifest itself. You ought to know that the spirit's manifestation is of incalculable value for you, because then you will receive My Word in all its purity since I Myself will be able to speak to you through the spirit. You should know that love activates spiritual powers in you which you have always possessed but which lay buried within you since your past apostasy from Me. Thus the higher you ascend through love the more these spiritual forces will develop again and your nature will change once more into the original being that you were at the beginning when you were still in My image .... supremely perfect entities which were able to be creative and active like Me for their blissful happiness .... You relinquished love of your own free will .... and must voluntarily strive for love again, you must open yourselves to My illumination of love so that My spirit will flow into you again, and thus all past abilities will awaken to life and you will enter into active communication with Me once more. However, I also want you to know that My adversary will try to influence you in the same way; he, too, would like to express himself through you and could succeed if you submit yourselves to him. Then he will be able to take possession of you and transfer his will onto you, then you will also be able to speak but what you say will be a jumble of thoughts which will lack all clarity, and you will not benefit from it. And therefore I seriously caution you against submitting yourselves in weakness of will to spiritual powers which misuse you; I warn you against psychic communications which you humans often cannot distinguish but which always denote a danger, which cannot be called the working of the spirit but are simply messages from different spheres of the spiritual world and only rarely guarantee the pure truth. Even people who are still far removed from love are able to receive psychic communications, for as soon as they submit themselves in weakness of will to a spiritual power they will be possessed by it, and they won't offer any resistance if these powers come from the lower spheres of the spiritual world. But anyone who ignites the flame of love within himself will inevitably establish contact between his spiritual spark and Me, the eternal Father-Spirit. And this person can only pass on truth, he actually receives My Word, he is addressed by Me directly and can only be taught the truth ....

And I would like to warn all of you through this Word that you should not believe every spirit, that you should turn to Me Myself and only appeal to Me for truth. You should not ask questions, you should not desire to know that which My wisdom keeps hidden from you, you should not ask these spirits about earthly matters .... You should only ever trustingly come to Me with all your concerns and I will truly answer you through your heart .... if only you pay attention to your thoughts, your inner impulses and intentions .... Then I will speak through your heart to you and you will truly not need advice from spirits of whom you don't know to which sphere they belong, for they disguise themselves well, and you will often consider them good spirits, whereas in fact they only cause confusion and try to stop people from their direct communication with their Father of eternity. I so gladly want to speak to My children .... but I can only do so if you shape yourselves into love, because only love can speak to love. Hence you should all come directly to Me and, by just sincerely uniting with Me and listening attentively, you will also hear Me Myself within you .... you will be able to enter into a dialogue with Me and even problems you entrust to Me will clearly resolve themselves. And if you live a life of love My voice within you will become increasingly clearer, for then the spiritual spark within you will be addressed by its eternal Father-Spirit and audibly reveal itself to you. But don't think that you will receive My communication in a roundabout way if love is not within you as yet. The working of the spirit and psychic receptions must be distinguished from each other .... Admittedly, each time a spiritual force is at work but just as there is light and darkness, the forces of light will also always have to fight against the forces of darkness .... Light is where love can be found, and therefore love alone determines the degree of truth which forms the basis of these spiritual messages .... And love approaches Me directly, since I Am Eternal Love .... Love resists communications which do not originate from Eternal Love Itself. And Eternal Love wants to be in direct contact with you .... I want to be addressed by you yourselves so that I can also speak to you Myself. And that is the 'working of My spirit' within you, which I constantly announced to you with the Words 'I will send you the comforter, the spirit of truth ....' Love is everything, and only through love can you unite yourselves with Me. And I want to receive this love from you and truly, you will be guided into all truth ....'

Amen

Handing out the soul food ....

B.D. 7721 from October 8th 1960, taken from Book No. 81

Let Me speak to you and receive My blessing. You must hand yourselves over to Me completely and then I can also work in you through My spirit. But then you must also listen to the voice of your heart and switch off your intellect, for I only express Myself through the heart but not through the intellect. And it goes without saying that the human being's intellect will then also acknowledge the spiritual knowledge received from the heart if the will is good, i.e. if it submits to My will. And thus I will always give you what you need for the maturing of the soul, for your existence on this earth will no longer last long .... I give you what you need to know in order to successfully use the short time of your earthly life for your souls, which need food and drink for this pilgrimage. And I truly do not hand out sparingly, I invite all of you to come to My table and feast with Me. And I Myself will offer My guests the bread and the wine as I once gave it to My disciples .... I will feed the souls with My word, with My flesh and My blood, for they shall be strengthened, they shall be able to walk the path of ascent for which they need strength, which I thus want to give them. Come, all of you, to My table and be satisfied .... hear My word from above, for you are standing in a flow of grace of My love which constantly pours over you .... and in this flow of grace you shall submerge yourselves, the sea of My love wants to take you in, and your soul shall be healthy and full of strength now go the way to Me, your father from eternity, Who longs for your return .... You will be increasingly distressed, your earthly path will be increasingly difficult, for it is the time of the end .... And because I know this I will also give you unusual strength which will always be the presentation of My word to you. Don't pass it by, don't close your hearts and ears, let yourselves all be addressed by Me and seek intimate contact with your father of eternity .... And know that you will only walk the path I have marked out for you if you do not openly oppose Me .... And this path will lead you to where you can work in My name. But then only ever let yourselves be inwardly guided by Me .... hand yourselves over to Me and let Me take care of you, and the path will truly be right. Also know that I am with My blessing with every individual who trusts Me, who endeavours to live in accordance with My will. But also know that My adversary tries to slip in to push you away from Me. But the light will be stronger, it will penetrate the darkness, the light will shine brightly in the whole surroundings, and whoever desires light will be allowed to receive it from My hands. And you should carry the light further, for the souls are in great need ...._>Amen

About the forerunner ....

B.D. 7722 from October 8th 1960, taken from Book No. 81

Time will tell how much strength rests within My Word .... for hearts will feel addressed by Me and flare up with love for Me Who reveals Himself as a Father, because I want to be united with My children and therefore send My ray of love into the hearts of those who are of good will. Yet it entirely depends on this will as to whether people recognise the Father's voice. The least amount of resistance will diminish the strength of My Word, and this resistance occurs in a person who is still without love. Then he will not let himself be addressed by Me, and then My Word remains without effective strength, then it will sound no different to him than a human word and he will reject it.

However, My children listen to My Word, and thus I instruct My children: Free yourselves from misguided ideas by appealing to Me directly for truth and enlightenment of your thinking. You try too soon to penetrate areas which I still keep closed to you .... you come to conclusions which are nevertheless fallacies .... you think about things which cannot be revealed to you as yet .... You rack your brain about the forerunner's fate and arrival .... And you come to the wrong conclusion. For I have told you, you will recognise him .... and that means that you will no longer have to ask but know who he is when he appears.

But until the time for his activity has come you don't need to look for him or suspect him to be one of your fellow human beings .... for he will come from where you least expect him. He is not a child of the world, he lives like any other human being yet his thoughts and wishes concern Me although he is not aware of his mission yet. But his spirit will brightly enlighten him about his mission and himself when the time is right for his appearance. And I tell you that it will still be some time before this happens .... He will be so illuminated that his light will radiate in all directions and that all of you, who want to be of service to Me, will warm yourselves in his light when the time of the spiritual hardship comes, when the last phase before the end begins: when the battle of faith erupts .... Until then, however, don't believe every spirit who deems himself to know more about it, for if this knowledge were necessary I would instruct you of it Myself. But handle with care what comes to you through human mouth and don't let yourselves be deceived, for the 'spirit of God' does not contradict itself, and you should scrutinise yourselves where My spirit is active, because I don't compel you to believe and it is up to you which spirit you accept as true.

I have indeed announced the forerunner to you and that he will come again as a voice in the wilderness before My second coming, but he is yet to appear because a short time still has to pass when diligent work should be done for My kingdom, and because you would set yourselves a time when his appearance should be obvious .... I still keep the time of his arrival veiled, for then My coming will also be certain, then the end is close, for he will only be active for a short time on earth which, however, will suffice to shock people out of their deadly rigidity. And the purpose of his coming is to save those who are still undecided .... To strengthen those who want to remain faithful to Me .... and to announce My coming .... And although this time is not far away, a few short phases have yet to pass .... but then what was proclaimed to you in Word and Scripture will be fulfilled ....

Amen

Value of earthly knowledge ....

B.D. 7723 from October 9th 1960, taken from Book No. 81

It is not knowledge which makes you blissfully happy if it concerns worldly knowledge which the soul does not need to mature. But if you acquire spiritual knowledge the soul will benefit from it, because spiritual knowledge is the result of a life of love and because only a life of love provides the soul with the maturity which will one day make it happy. And therefore you need not value earthly knowledge too highly, for the human being's body can indeed benefit from it, the human being can attain earthly fame and earthly possessions but his soul will come away empty-handed. For only earthly knowledge will rarely help a person attain 'realization', because realization is light, pure truth from Me .... which can only ever result in love, and that therefore only earthly knowledge will rarely increase the degree of love .... if love is not already in the human being and this love then enables the person to attain 'realization' .... For this reason it is wrong to say that the human being arrives at the truth by way of intellect, that he can therefore acquire the truth intellectually .... it is wrong to say that a person can attain knowledge of God through earthly knowledge .... because love has to direct his intellectual thinking beforehand such that he now gains knowledge which corresponds to truth and which opens up spiritual knowledge to him. Earthly knowledge is only of value for the earthly world, and if the human being gives up his earthly life, if he changes his earthly abode with the kingdom of the beyond, then nothing of his knowledge will remain with him, then his thoughts will become confused if he has not ignited spiritual light within himself through love, which is now his wealth, which will shine in bright splendour, that he will now recognize everything because I Myself will make the knowledge accessible to him which will cause him beatitude, because he can work with it in the spiritual kingdom to make himself and other souls happy. Therefore, on earth don't primarily strive for earthly knowledge but know that your activity of thought will be guided correctly in every respect if you first cultivate the love of your heart, if you first make sure that My spirit can instruct you from within. Then it will also provide you with the right earthly knowledge, but it will primarily point you to spiritual knowledge, and you will truly do better if you try to penetrate the latter, for it will follow you into eternity, while all earthly knowledge will pass away. Therefore believe that love gives you the right knowledge, that love imparts wisdom to you which is a real gain for the souls. For even if you wanted to attain knowledge of God by intellectual means, this knowledge would only ever remain dead knowledge, it would only ever be a share of the intellect but never a knowledge of the heart .... It would not make you alive in faith but would again only remain a pure knowledge of the intellect. Thus you would perhaps be able to recognize a 'God' but never a 'father' Who is love in Himself and through Whom alone you can attain life, which is the purpose and aim of your earthly life. And no matter how much you exhaust yourselves in words or knowledge .... what the intellect gives birth to is and remains the earth's share, it does not lead to Me, Who alone can be found in the heart, Who demands love from you in order to be able to enlighten your spirit which truly leads you into realization. For realization is light, realization is truthful knowledge about all spiritual correlations, about your relationship with Me, your God and creator, about your state as it was, as it is and shall be, and about My plan of salvation from eternity .... And this knowledge alone has value for your soul, this knowledge alone can lead you to Me again, but only ever if you have love within you .... There is no such thing as 'realization' without love, yet you can possess much intellectual knowledge but you will not gain beatitude through it, your soul will remain dead in spirit and enter the spiritual kingdom in this dead state, and everything it possessed on earth will have passed away .... For if you want to be wise then you must stand in love and come to Me and ask Me for wisdom, you must kindle the light within yourselves and you will be what you were in the beginning .... beings of supreme wisdom who are connected through love with Me Myself, the eternal light ...._>Amen

God's unfathomable love ....

B.D. 7724 from October 12th 1960, taken from Book No. 81

From the father's endless, overpowering love all His creatures came forth, and the father's endless, overpowering love carries them across eternities and also irrefutably leads them back to Himself again .... But they do not return as what they were at the beginning, as "His creatures", but as His "children". He has only known one aim since the beginning, to be able to create and work with children like Him in the spiritual kingdom. And this aim motivated Him to bring forth beings from Himself in all freedom, in light and strength, who now completed the work themselves: to shape themselves into children; who therefore carried out this work of transformation in free will and thus bestowed boundless happiness upon the father and also upon themselves. This is a process that can last for eternities, but will one day be completed. And you humans, who walk the earth, stand in this process. You have already travelled an infinitely long path, and you can succeed in completing the work and returning to the father in the short time left of your earthly life, which He eagerly awaits, for His love for you is immense. And His love carries every person, His love seeks to draw every person to Himself, and the human being's willing devotion to Him is all that is needed and the work is successful .... For the creature's return as a 'child to the father' solely consists of the child fully professing its faith in the father, of longing for the father's love, of completely submitting its will to the divine will .... of stretching out its arms towards the father and allowing itself to be taken hold of by Him .... And then there is eternally no more relapse into the depth which, however, the creature first had to overcome in order to become a 'child of God'. God's unlimited love has truly created all possibilities for the creature to accomplish the transformation into a child, but His great love also respects the free will which is part of every being created by Him .... No being is forced to return if it does not strive for it of its own accord. And this free will therefore very often delays the process, and eternities can pass until the being reaches the aim. And yet, it is not difficult because the father, in His love, pours out grace upon grace, because His love constantly provides assistance, because only one thing is necessary, that the human being's will turns to Him and seeks contact with Him. This is why the human being's whole fate in life is shaped such that he is pushed onto the path which leads to God .... it is shaped in such a way that he is stimulated to think, that he can recognize a power above himself in Whom he can trust and abandon himself when he is in danger of succumbing to fate. And if his will is good, then he will now constantly surrender to this power .... he will not only recognize the power but also the love and wisdom of this power, (12.10.1960) and he will want to make contact with it because he feels within himself that he himself has also emanated from this power. Every human being can find God in earthly life because the father's immeasurable love does everything to help the human being reach the aim. But since the return to Him has to be an act of free will, God will not reveal Himself to him in such a way that he takes the path to Him under a certain compulsion. But as soon as he has taken the path He will reveal Himself to him in various ways, and these revelations will become increasingly clearer and more recognizable the more serious the human being's striving for his God and creator is, Whom he now also very soon learns to recognize and love as his father and then comes ever closer to the aim .... of unification with Him, Who is love Itself and Who, again, can only be reached through love. God is love .... and love lets nothing get lost. God is wisdom .... and He also knows all ways and possibilities which bring back what seems to have been lost to Him .... And God is the power .... Who constantly gives birth to creations in which the work of return takes place. And during the time of existence as a human being He will constantly pursue it with His love, and where His ray of love finds open hearts there love has also won. There the strength of love will break through, and there, through love, the complete merging of the creator with His created being can take place .... of the father with His child .... and unlimited beatitudes may now be experienced by the child, which can only be eternally blissful in and with the father ...._>Amen

Sin against the spirit ....

B.D. 7725 from October 14th 1960, taken from Book No. 81

You should not resist the spirit .... I tell you this because you commit a sin if you oppose the spirit .... if you recognize My working and yet consciously distance yourselves from it .... for then you will eternally be unable to make contact with Me, because you then reject Me Myself, Who expresses Myself through the spirit. The working of the spirit in the human being is the evidence of My illumination of love, and if you reject it you sin against the spirit because you commit the former sin again: not acknowledging Me Who gives you visible evidence of My presence. And this sin cannot be forgiven because if you reject the spirit .... you also do not acknowledge Jesus Christ and the act of salvation, Who gives you forgiveness, and because then you will have to walk the path through creation again .... a path of immeasurable torment .... therefore do not sin against the spirit, acknowledge My working, for you feel it within you that it is I Who speaks .... you feel that My father-spirit from eternity empties Itself. You feel that spirit speaks to spirit and yet you reject it. And you know that I Myself have said: “All sins can be forgiven you, but not the sin against the spirit...” And this sin is committed by the person who recognizes the father's voice and closes his heart and ear when it sounds to him .... this sin is committed by the person who maintains his defensive position although he recognizes it. For he is still in the power of My adversary who will not let him find his way to Jesus .... And he will also never take the path to the cross because the opposing spirit controls him, because it impels him to defend himself and he obeys its will. To recognize the voice of the spirit is a gift of grace from Me which the human being should make use of, for if a person's heart can be touched by the voice of the spirit then he has already reached a certain degree of maturity .... And only one person will rarely let this act of grace pass him by, for it has a pleasing effect on him, and the spiritual spark in the human being constantly strives towards Me, His father-spirit of eternity .... But My working of the spirit will also be disputed for base motives, although the realization of this is present .... And then you will transgress against Me as you once transgressed, and this sin will increase the former sin many times over and bring unspeakable suffering upon you, from which I would like to warn and protect you all. And if you are of good will you will also be able to recognize if and when My spirit is at work. And then you should confess Me and My spirit .... you should not sin against the spirit so that you will not get lost and take an infinitely long time again until you are accepted by Me again ...._>Amen

Tiny spark of divine spirit in the heart ....

B.D. 7726 from October 15th 1960, taken from Book No. 81

And My name shall be glorified before the world .... For you shall recognise Who reveals Himself to you by the effect it has on you and within you, you shall feel it in your heart when you are being addressed by Me and then consciously praise and thank Me because you recognise Me. The measure of My love is boundless and will never run dry, time and again the spring of love and strength will open and pour out over you and many times you will be able to sense your Father's presence .... It is My grace which I pour over you because you, like infants, are still weak and need My help. And if I thus reveal to you that I dwell within your midst then stay in silent worship and hand your hearts over to Me. And I will accept everyone and with loving care lead them to perfection. And you will start to live in heartfelt unison with Me .... for you have found your way home to the Father Who is inside of you because you have prepared an abode for Him, you opened the door of your heart when I knocked with a desire to enter. When you entered this earth as a human being I came to you, I placed a tiny spark of My divine spirit into you, a tiny spark of love, which was intended to grow into a flame and unite with the fire of My eternal love again .... Hence there is a small part of Me Myself in you when you embody yourselves as human beings on earth which establishes a connection with Me but of which, however, you must first become conscious by looking for contact with your God and Creator of your own free will, which will already exist because you have the will to be in contact with your God and Creator. This tiny spark of God in you characterises you as a divine living being if you allow it to break through. And it can break through in you if you change your nature into love. For you once changed your nature of pure love into the opposite; you adopted My adversary's nature who is totally devoid of love and thereby distanced yourselves from Me. All the same, you were the children of My love, you came forth from My love and I will never ever let go of you or hand you over to My opponent because I love you far too much. However, you would never find your way back to Me again if I did not provide you with a minute spark of My divine spirit for your life on earth, because this tiny spark of spirit shall guide you towards Me, it shall push you to Me, it shall prevail over the body and draw the soul .... your real Self .... close in order to unite itself with the spirit and thus also accomplish unity with Me, the Father-Spirit of eternity. And this spiritual spark lives in you but keeps silent until you, through your will, set it free to communicate with you .... And then I will manifest Myself in you .... Then you will have fulfilled your purpose of earthly life and your life will just be a constant prayer of thanks and praise, for then your nature will have changed itself into love again, since without love My tiny spark of spirit would not have been able to come alive .... But once My spirit can make itself known in you it proves that I Am present in you Myself .... it proves that the child has found its way home to the Father, that it has overcome the wide gulf which kept it separate from the Father for eternities .... that it is now illuminated by My strength of love as it was in the beginning ....

Amen

God's blessing on vineyard work ....

B.D. 7727 from October 19th 1960, taken from Book No. 81

And I want to bless every work you do for Me and My kingdom. I want to give you strength to carry it out because I know how necessary it is that it is done .... because I see the spiritual hardship you humans are in and because I also know how close the end is. But I also know that you will still face many obstacles, that the work for Me is not so easy because again and again the adversary will intrude and try to prevent it. But My strength is stronger, and if I want the light to break through then I will also make sure that your work is successful. Nothing can stop Me from carrying out My plan of salvation, and therefore the end is also inevitable, it has been planned since eternity .... not to destroy but to save. But you humans don't know what I mean by salvation; you only see the work of destruction and don't know that My love is also expressed in it, because you humans and all living creations around you have gone out of order .... the latter through your will, which no longer gives the bound spiritual the opportunity to redeem itself through service .... And I love everything that once came forth from Me, and therefore I also want to redeem everything and truly know best the way to do so. And if I now spur you, My servants on earth, again and again to do vineyard work, then there is also a real necessity, for I have to work through people, I cannot directly accomplish what is necessary to bring people onto the right path even before the end. I want to speak to all of them and need you to do so, you who are willing instruments for Me. And therefore I will also bless every work you do voluntarily on My behalf, and I will bring you together who want to be active for Me. And you should only believe that this work is necessary and do it with all love and dedication. For you still have time and opportunity to pass on My word, many possibilities are still open to you where you can work in My name. I can still speak to you and you willingly accept My word, you can still pass this word on and make many people happy who will also work with it again because it urges them from within .... But this activity, too, will be stopped again and again by My adversary who uses all cunning and force to undermine the truth and who also finds many open ears who prefer to listen to him .... For he also makes use of people who willingly follow him, and through these people he has a disastrous effect on their fellow human beings. But anyone who has the strength of faith, who walks under the influence of My word, truly recognizes his activity, and there his power is broken, there he encounters resistance, for there I Myself oppose him, Whom he flees for the sake of the light which emanates from Me. And My pure word from above is a radiant light to which all unspiritual things must succumb because it is My illumination of love which every unspirit shuns. Therefore be eager in your activity for Me and My kingdom and always be certain of My blessing, for there is not much time left for all of you to work. And therefore you will constantly be filled by My strength, you will constantly be certain of My support and always be guided as My love and wisdom recognize to be successful .... And I will bless you forever ...._>Amen

Implementation of the plan of Salvation ....

B.D. 7728 from October 21st 1960, taken from Book No. 81

My plan of Salvation is so clearly presented to you that you will also be able to recognise My infinite love therein, that you need not doubt a God of love even when you have to include the final work of destruction in the plan of Salvation. Could I ever do anything that is not motivated by My Love? .... But you humans are unable to assess everything, and yet My eternal plan of Salvation should explain to you what your intellect would rather refuse to accept. Only My infinite love determines whether I will implement the plan of Salvation, which My wisdom recognised to be right and which will be carried out by My omnipotence at the predetermined time. And you humans should not believe that you can change My decision .... for it no longer concerns the sole deliverance of humanity, but a phase of development for all spiritual substances will start again, which will lead into a new period of Salvation ....

It concerns the reintegration of all spiritual substances and a separation of the spirits which have already acquired self-awareness and which consequently will also be placed where they belong in relation to their maturity. In the course of a period of Salvation there have always been short periods of time when I had to intervene in the form of various kinds of judgments .... Time and again people have been warned and admonished, and depending on their willingness to improve, these judgments could be deferred or cancelled. Time and again My love intervened and tried to guide people onto the right path .... before My justice expressed itself .... But the duration of a period of Salvation is limited, and it would truly have sufficed to redeem the souls completely had people's will used it for this purpose. Yet one day even this limited time will come to an end, and the constrained spiritual substances in the creations will have to be considered again, which must and want to take the same path of development in order to be released from the form sooner or later.

For My love also applies to these still constrained spiritual substances .... My plan of Salvation includes all once-fallen spirits .... And this is what you humans have to remember when this plan of Salvation seems to you incomprehensible and not compatible with My love. A reintegration of all spiritual substances has become necessary and humanity, too, has reached a spiritual low which demands an end, a disintegration of the creation and of those people who have not found the way to Me and will not find it anymore .... Therefore you should believe that I in My wisdom have recognised this for all of eternity, that I knew the human beings' will and state of maturity in the last days and correspondingly established My plan of Salvation, which will now truly be implemented when the time comes. Every day is still a blessing, since it can be used for the return to the Father. Every day can still help the soul to mature, and therefore you should even now recognise every day as a gift of grace and be thankful for My love, which will certainly help you until the end, until the last day has arrived .... But that it will arrive is certainly true, for My Word is and remains eternal truth ....

Amen

God's protection His word from above ....

B.D. 7729 from October 22nd 1960, taken from Book No. 81

O you fools who think you can extinguish My light .... Where it was once able to shine it will also send out its ray and always touch hearts which are enkindled by it, who recognize it as a light from above and who also carry it further .... and let it shine out again into their surroundings. And even if only a small flame glows, it still breaks through the darkness and shows people the path that leads upwards. My adversary will indeed leave no stone unturned to extinguish this light but My might is stronger, and even if I give him free rein in the last days before the end My might of love is still at work and My wisdom recognizes all possibilities where the light from above, the light from Me, is given sustenance. And I truly make use of these possibilities. And therefore don't worry, even if it seems that the light from above is threatened .... don't worry even if My adversary will leave no stone unturned to prevent you from spreading My word .... I know all paths and you will also walk these paths which again and again lead to the doors I Myself want to knock on in order to bring My word to them through you .... And you should know that no work is done in vain, that everything you do for Me and My kingdom will result in its blessing .... that no word has been spoken in vain, even if you don't see the success straight away. But continue to be diligent in your vineyard work, know that you must not become tired and that you should constantly serve Me so that the redemption of the still unfree spiritual progresses. The source of life has been tapped for you and the water of life unstoppably trickles, the living water unstoppably flows to you from the spring of life, My word, which is and will remain nourishment for your soul for all eternity .... And if it is My will that the spring shall not run dry, neither people nor spiritual forces can prevent Me from doing so, no matter how hostilely they oppose it, no matter how hostilely they harass you, as My bearers of light. For My adversary is limited and will never be able to take action against Me Myself, as the 'eternal light', because this light will throw him to the ground. But you yourselves must remain faithful to Me, you must not allow yourselves to be deterred, even if his power seems great to you .... I Myself stand by your side and spread My protective hand over everyone who earnestly serves Me. And My word will resound, the water of life will flow and My adversary will not succeed in extinguishing the light I have kindled, so that before the end the path leading to Me will be brightly illuminated .... so that the weak and undecided may find it and turn to Me before the end is there ...._>Amen

Spiritual superiority is not spiritual arrogance ....

B.D. 7730 from October 23rd 1960, taken from Book No. 81

Spiritual superiority should not be confused with spiritual arrogance .... If I guide a person into the truth, if he is taught by My Word in order to be a suitable teacher again for his fellow human beings, then he may also confidently endorse his knowledge because it originates from Me, and then he can also rest assured that he will have received the pure truth and that this truth has to be rated higher than human knowledge, which was merely intellectually acquired and which, without the working of My spirit, is no guarantee for truth. Hence, one can never speak of spiritual arrogance where it concerns advocating the truth from Me, which the person receives from Me directly. Then any restraint would be wrong if the opportunity presents itself to inform people of My spiritual knowledge. You just should not 'cast your pearls before swine ....', i.e., you should not speak where you clearly recognise My adversary's spirit, because the truth will not be recognised there as such and every conversation will be in vain. But anyone who is taught by My spirit shall also mention the working of My spirit and frankly and determinedly stand up for My Word. He will certainly be able to do so, for as soon as he speaks on behalf of Me and My kingdom I Myself make use of him and speak through him, and then you really won't be able to say that an arrogant spirit speaks through him.

Once a person has been guided into truth by Me he will also be enlightened himself, he will recognise all correlations and able to speak about them. And if he is sure of the truth of his knowledge because he was taught 'through the spirit' then he will also be self-confident and able to refute wrong opinions or provide good clarifications, in which case he can't be called 'arrogant', rather, his spiritual superiority should be recognised and acknowledged; the truth he imparts must impress the listener and also give him the inner conviction that it is I Myself Who speaks to him through a human mouth. And since I know My light bearers' will I can also distribute the gifts of the spirit such that they will be valued .... For this reason I choose My own servants and give them the task to pass on the pure truth .... And anyone with good intentions will recognise the truth and gratefully accept it .... anyone with good intentions will be brought together with the bearers of truth so that he, too, shall be guided into truth, depending on his will. And you should always remember that I only give My grace unto the humble .... That an arrogantly spirited person would never ever be able to receive a gift of grace from Me because only a profoundly humble heart is receptive for it or you would have to discard everything said to you .... but after serious examination you won't be able to do that. Spiritual superiority is only the complete certainty of knowing the truth, and I expect this from My bearers of light, or they would be unable to confidently uphold the truth from Me towards their fellow human beings .... It is necessary for light to be brought to people who live in spiritual darkness ; it is necessary to illuminate the path of ascent for them, for you humans will not go forward on dark paths but you will continue to strive towards the abyss. For this reason I will repeatedly convey light to you, and blessed is he who accepts it .... blessed, who takes the path which will be shown to him in the light of truth ....

Amen

God's human manifestation in Jesus ....

B.D. 7731 from October 27th 1960, taken from Book No. 81

The greatest mystery for you humans is and will remain My human manifestation in Jesus Christ .... Even if it is explained to you in a comprehensible way, it will nevertheless remain a secret for you, because My Being cannot be made completely understandable since you always want to personify a thinking being. Thus, you imagine a 'spiritually tangible' God as something 'limited' and also assign this to Jesus, the human being Who, in a manner of speaking, unites two beings within Himself. However, this concept is not right, for My Being is inscrutable, it is the all-pervading and all-encompassing strength which knows no limitation and yet is intelligent and endowed with a will.

It is impossible for you humans to imagine My Being because you are finite, because you have not yet attained the perfection which removes every limitation. Nevertheless, you, too, are carriers of this strength, you are merely permeated to a limited extent by the strength which, however, Jesus harboured in all fullness because He was perfect, thus He had, through a life of love, deified Himself on earth .... No limit for the influx of divine strength existed for Him, He was completely permeated by it .... thus My fundamental nature, the divine strength of love, was in Him, and so I Myself was able to be in Him, Whose shell had so shaped itself that it enabled a complete permeation of it without being consumed by My strength.

And thus it can be said that it was 'God' Who merely had made Himself visible in the shell of the man Jesus because, as the source of strength, I could not be visible to any being since no being would have survived had it been able to look into the enormous fiery sea of My love .... Consequently, I had to create a limitation for Myself, I had to choose a form which could be visible to you humans and completely permeate this form .... However, the form nevertheless remained what I Myself Am for eternity .... the highest and most perfect Being .... The form served the highest and most perfect Being as an abode for the sake of My living creations which desired to behold Me. And yet, they will never ever be able to fathom My nature because it is and remains inscrutable for all created beings, for everything that once emerged from Me.

Wanting to personify the Eternal Deity is a misguided notion, for I Am not a limited Spirit, I Am all things .... I Am the strength Which permeates everything, Which pervades the whole of infinity, Which maintains all beings and creations and safeguards their continued existence .... And yet, I Am a Being Which acts in wisdom and love, Which uses Its will and can think in supreme perfection, thus love and wisdom always determine Its thoughts and omnipotence carries out everything.

The fact that the once created beings desired to behold Me was the cause of their apostasy .... But it was not possible for Me to be visible to these beings because they would have ceased to exist in view of the abundance of light and strength which would have had to be revealed to them .... Even so, I wanted to satisfy My children's desire, I wanted to visibly present Myself to them and I did so in Jesus Christ, in a human shell, which first had to spiritualise itself in order to absorb the abundance of My of light and strength .... The shell had to become the same spiritual substance which is My fundamental nature for eternity ....so as not to perish when I Myself permeated the form ....

Hence nothing human stayed behind, everything was spirit from Me and thus Jesus was God .... I had become a human being, but only in order to accomplish, as a human, the mission of redeeming your original sin. Nevertheless, nothing of Jesus the 'human being' stayed behind, through His life on this earth He had deified Himself, He had completely merged with Me, His Creator and Father of eternity .... My fundamental nature had manifested Itself in Him .... The eternal Spirit which permeates everything had assumed a visible shape in Jesus .... And thus I became visible to all My children who mature to a point that they can bear to see Me, that they may behold Me from face to face ....

Love and suffering purify the soul ....

B.D. 7732 from October 28th 1960, taken from Book No. 81

And you will truly follow Me if you bear your cross with patience and submission to My will. I certainly carried all of humanity's sins on My shoulders when I walked the path to the cross and thereby relieved you from the immense burden of sin you would have had to carry on account of your sins .... I knew that it was too heavy for you, that you would never have freed yourselves from this huge weight. And thus I carried it on your behalf .... But you must know that you still have a low degree of maturity of soul as long as you have not fanned your love into brightest radiance. And this is what you humans are lacking, even if you strive to live your life according to My will. For this reason I give you the opportunity to raise your soul's maturity through afflictions, which are the right kind of purification means for the soul, so that it becomes increasingly brighter and translucent and able to enter the kingdom of the beyond in a purified state when its hour has come. Love and suffering purify the soul .... I say this time and again, and thus I also tell you that you need the suffering, because the love in you has not yet reached the degree which lets the soul become so crystal clear that My love can permeate it without meeting with any resistance. Your life will not last long anymore, and one day you will be grateful to Me that I helped you to spiritualise your soul through afflictions, through adversities and suffering, through all kinds of ailments .... Just do not rebel against your destiny, accept everything from My hand and always remember that I want to help you attain perfection as far as it is still possible on earth. You can still cast off many impurities from your soul and thereby enable it to blissfully pass over into an abundance of radiant light, because the soul will have been prepared such that it can absorb this abundance of light without having to fade away. Although you can all certainly be redeemed from your guilt of sin because of the forgiveness which, for the sake of Jesus Christ, is assured to you if you appeal to Me Myself in Jesus for it .... but the degree of light which subsequently will make you happy can vary and thus the bliss you enjoy will also differ .... depending on the soul's transparency and perfection, depending on the work you have done on earth to improve your soul. So if you are negligent despite your good will My love will help you by repeatedly creating opportunities for you to raise your soul's maturity .... by burdening you with a small cross which you should carry with patience and submission .... so that you occasionally suffer in order to promote your psychological task, to dissolve the impurities and to let your soul emerge from the suffering so bright and pure that it has also become receptive for high degrees of light and in truth can enter the kingdom of light and bliss. For life is short and one day you will thank Me for the path I made you travel on earth when the soul has gained the maturity which allows for a high degree of illumination of light and which will make you inconceivably happy .... Therefore take your cross upon yourselves and follow Me .... for sooner or later your path will end and then you will be overjoyed ....

Amen

God's will .... free will .... divine order ....

B.D. 7733 from October 29th 1960, taken from Book No. 81

And above all is My will .... for this sustains the whole universe, the whole spiritual and material kingdom .... My will governs heaven and earth, the spiritual world of light and also the kingdom of darkness, for everything serves Me consciously or unconsciously so that one day gods like Me will create with Me in bliss. My wisdom has foreseen everything since eternity that takes place in the past, in the present and in the future .... And My infinite love was the basis of everything that My might has brought to pass since eternity. And this included the creation of beings of a kind similar to Myself, for on the one hand they signified an immense happiness for Me as well as on the other hand their own happiness which, depending on the beings' will, remained with them or was also prevented by them .... but which, in turn, My wisdom recognized as expedient and was based on the beings' will .... even if it was wrongly directed .... My eternal plan of salvation was built upon. The will was always the decisive factor, the will of the beings I had created was free .... And yet, My will rules by being active throughout the universe based on the will of those beings, by My will governing spiritual and earthly creations, by becoming the basis for My law of order which is irrevocable. The beingness can indeed rebel against this law of order, it can violate it but it can never override this law, instead, it has to bear the consequences itself if it violates it .... if it thinks and acts against My will .... My will remains decisive for all eternity. And even if My adversary tries to overrule My will by acting against it himself .... it is only ever to his own disadvantage, and he only ever increases the distance from Me, but he will never be able to overturn the law of eternal order, that is, he himself must also accept My will, he must bow to it, although My love leaves him freedom as long as My wisdom seeks to invalidate his activity .... But as soon as his measure is full he himself will also be invalidated, because My will is above everything, because he, too, emerged from Me and has to bow down under My will. For there is only one source of strength, and It is Me .... and since everything that exists draws its strength from this source it must also be subject to My will and eternally bow to this will. But since I endowed the being with free will it can certainly develop its will in every direction but it will only ever be a blissful creature if its will agrees with Mine .... and every opposing will will have a disastrous effect on the being. Then it no longer lives according to the law of eternal order but stands outside of this law, outside of My will and outside of beatitude .... Yet I recognized from eternity that it meant a great spiritual battle to bring that which resisted Me back into the law of order, and My love and wisdom allowed this battle to take place, but My will also brought this battle within the framework of the lawful order, i.e. My adversary was granted a just measure of his activity which corresponded to the will of the being for which I and he were now fighting the battle. But he may not exceed this measure or My will will bind him so that he will be incapable of any further activity. For My will also controls the dark world, he, too, must bow to My will, to whom I once gave fullest freedom which he abused. But My will is always guided by My love and wisdom, and My love and wisdom therefore predominantly accepts the free will of all beings created by Me, so that they submit to Mine, which guarantees highest perfection and highest beatitude. And therefore My love and wisdom will one day achieve that all beings of free will will integrate themselves into the law of eternal order, and then their will will also be the same as Mine and there will no longer be a battle, because love will then unite Me Myself with all My created beings .... because there will no longer be any will directed against Me ...._>Amen

Unselfish distribution of the Word ....

B.D. 7734 from October 30th 1960, taken from Book No. 81

When you take part in the distribution of My Word you should only be motivated by your love for Me and other people. You should want to carry out the task I have appointed you to do, and you should try to lessen the other person's spiritual need which has prompted Me to endow you with gifts of grace abundantly, so that you share these where I cannot take action Myself. Your work for Me and My kingdom should only ever be inspired by love. Then success won't fail because love is a strength which is never without result. Although your spiritual work will be ridiculed by people who have no faith whatsoever because it is incomprehensible to them why someone would work without material gain .... but then you can be even more certain of My blessing which rests upon every selfless act of labour in My vineyard .... You have not understood the value of My gifts of grace until you regard them as spiritual values which alone can result in spiritual success. Only then are you useful servants to Me who do not serve their master for their own benefit but who seek to increase his profit .... And this consists of the acquisition of souls for the celestial kingdom.

One day you, too, will have to discard your body and you cannot bring your earthly possessions into My kingdom .... And yet you can enter it richly blessed because spiritual possessions follow you into eternity, which were disregarded on earth by those who did not become aware of the meaning and purpose of earthly life. They have acquired earthly goods for themselves on earth and consequently have already received their entitled reward for their actions and way of life. But they will have little to show for it at the gate of eternity because they took no notice of spiritual wealth. Those of you who want to work for Me and My kingdom should disregard earthly gain, only love should motivate you to do your work .... You should look around you and recognise the spiritual poverty in humanity's life .... You should want to help in the knowledge that humanity is approaching the abyss, and you should work untiringly because this is necessary in view of the end.

Then you will also understand why you become isolated from the outside world which can distract your attention from the task you should fulfil .... You will understand that time and again I will seek faithful servants to take part in the work, who want to bring the Gospel to their fellow human beings, because people ought to hear My Word which I repeatedly send to them through you .... And you will understand that I will knock on every door, that I send you before Me to announce the Lord, Who wants to come Himself, Who wants to take abode with them .... Since they cannot yet hear Me you have to go before Me so that I can speak to them through you, because they badly need to be informed of Me, of My love, which wants to save them before the end. And thus everything should be done to inform people that I work through My spirit in the heart of every human being who is of good will .... You should tell them with love and kindness of Me and My actions, you should bring them My Word which I have blessed with My strength, and you should not tire to take care of your fellow human beings' spiritual poverty by helping to spread My Word .... And I Myself will lead the people to you, I shall bless every selfless work done by you for Me and My kingdom ....

Amen

Proclamation of Jesus Christ and the divine doctrine of love ....

B.D. 7735 from October 31th 1960, taken from Book No. 81

You represent My name before the world when you proclaim the gospel of love, when you spread the divine teaching of love which I proclaimed Myself when I lived on earth. Then you will not be able to avoid confessing My name to those who hear the gospel from you, for you will try to persuade them to believe in Me and My act of salvation, because the love within you will also impel you to mention My act of salvation, which concluded My life on earth and was, as it were, the crowning of My love for people. For only love was able to accomplish such a work of mercy, only love was able to take upon itself such suffering as I endured as the 'human being' Jesus. Again and again people should therefore be made aware of My act of love, again and again they should be admonished to love themselves, and again and again love must be preached, because only then can the understanding for My act of salvation be found and because only a person full of love will confess My name before the world. And you humans must accept Me, you humans must believe in Me and let yourselves be redeemed by Me if you want to become blessed. For this reason I repeatedly send you My messengers who shall proclaim the divine teaching of love to you .... for this reason the gospel will be presented to you again and again and mention will be made of Him Who died for you humans on the cross .... This is why My name is proclaimed in the world again and again, for you all shall partake of the graces I purchased for you on the cross .... but if you pass away without love it will not touch you when it is proclaimed to you about Me .... Love is the first thing, love has to be kindled in you first, because without love you are like a stone which sees nothing and hears nothing whatever is preached to it. Yet as soon as love is within you it is not difficult for you to acknowledge Me, to faithfully pronounce My name and call upon Me for forgiveness of your sins .... when love is within you, you acknowledge Me Myself as the eternal love, and then you belong to those for whom I died on the cross .... And therefore love will be preached to you again and again, and My messengers of light of love will be sent out into the world to bring the light of love to those who want to accept it .... And then My name will also always be proclaimed, then testimony will be given of Me and My act of salvation. For all you humans still have to find Me before the end if you don't want to get lost for eternity. For only I Myself can save you, and you must call upon Me in Jesus Christ or you will remain unredeemed and cannot be spared the fate of a new banishment. This is why you, who want to serve Me, are constantly spurred on to spread My gospel of love into the world, for anyone who accepts it will also accept Me Myself, he will let himself be redeemed by Me before it is too late, he will accept the blessings of My act of salvation and he will be saved from ruin. Yet without love no-one can become blissfully happy, without love no-one can recognize Me Myself, Who accomplished the act of salvation in the human being Jesus in order to clear the path for you which leads to Me, which guides you back into your father's house ...._>Amen

About abstinence and asceticism ....

B.D. 7736 from November 2nd 1960, taken from Book No. 81

Whatever motivates you to practise abstinence .... you should not weaken your body with it, for I gave it to you so that your soul should attain maturity in it and it is your duty to maintain your soul's vessel for as long as you live on earth .... You will understand that a weakened body is unable to fulfil the task it was allocated by destiny, and I really don't want you to render yourselves unfit for the work you have to accomplish on earth. Yet neither does your spiritual development depend on self-denial, on your withholding from your body what it needs in order to stay alive, what is beneficial to remain healthy. Earthly life makes demands on you which you must comply with in order to be useful members of society .... And you need strength for this, which you must repeatedly replenish by providing your body with the right amount of sustenance and refreshment .... However, you should not exceed the amount, since it is truly not beneficial for you .... But neither should you let the body starve and thereby weaken it .... For this is not My will, Who created you in line with natural law, i.e., I did not provide the body with functions which keep it alive and going for no reason, as far as it is My will. You should respect My wisdom which created the human body this way as you require it to be a vessel for your soul in which it ought to achieve its earthly task: to attain full maturity for the spiritual kingdom ....

However, remember to abide by natural law, too much as well as too little is wrong, you should be moderate in all things and not make the body unfit for its task through excessive self-denial .... just as, vice versa, every overindulgence is bad and can spiritually damage the soul. And therefore you should merely keep to natural law, live a simple and modest life and always request My blessing ....And it will not do you any harm, nothing will influence your spiritual maturing, your body will not become prematurely weak and you will even be spared illness, if you don't sin against natural laws .... if you also acknowledge your body's spiritual task and help it by keeping it healthy and not denying it what it needs for its existence .... And only pray that you will always recognise the right measure .... that your love for the body will not be greater than your love for the soul; pray that I will always give your body the strength to achieve its earthly task. And if you thus endeavour to comply with My will then no illness will frighten you again, for then you will know that even this shall merely help to spiritualise body and soul .... But don't try to achieve this spiritualisation through asceticism as it contradicts natural law and can even result in a healthy body falling ill, but then it will be self-inflicted. Overcome all cravings which do not help to sustain the body .... fight against them, then you will live in the right way and your soul, too, will be able to become fully mature .... Yet all excess is a disadvantage for the soul, for a certain amount of spiritual pride or ambition motivates the person to accomplish something extraordinary for the sake of his soul's maturity. But just as I created the body that is how it should serve you .... what the body requires by natural law it should also receive .... Then it will accomplish its task as a vessel for the soul and help it achieve maturity, and the body will make good use of the time it was allocated by My will on earth ....

Amen

Signs of the last days ....

B.D. 7737 from November 3rd 1960, taken from Book No. 81

You, too, will be addressed by Me in an extraordinary way .... You should pay attention to the signs you see in the sky and on earth, for all great events are often foreshadowed. Thereby you will be able to identify the hour you live in, because the precise time cannot be given to you or you would not be able to continue living on earth, since you would die of fear and prematurely end your own life. Therefore you need never believe those prophets who inform you of the time when the Judgment will happen .... These are false and merely confuse people's thoughts. But pay attention to the signs which I have announced to you time and again. For, before the end, a battle will yet ensue for the sake of My name and you, My servants on earth, will be called to account .... This is a certain sign that the last day will come soon afterwards, for I said 'I will shorten the days ....' because this battle will be waged with such brutality that I must appear personally in order to put an end to it. And I will come .... You need not fear this battle because I will furnish you with great strength for the sake of those who are still weak or undecided and to whom you shall serve as an example, so that they will still find the path to Me. And then My power will manifest itself, and My wisdom will truly do what is right in order to turn the earth into a place of education for the spiritual beings again .... For the time has come to an end, a new era will start for the human beings who, as the root of a new generation, I will remove from earth before the end .... Then a paradise-like state will exist on earth again where all people will live in love and in the right love for Me, so that I can dwell in the midst of them as I have promised those who will persevere until the end, for they will be blissfully happy .... But the fact that a time of adversity must first come to pass on earth is unavoidable because a few shall still be saved .... they shall still find redemption through Jesus Christ, hence prior to it His name shall still be proclaimed throughout the world .... However, the time of affliction has started already and the world is yet to see great hardship .... Nevertheless, My Own recognise the time and abide by Me and I will truly strengthen them and support them whenever they threaten to weaken .... I Myself will be on their side and lead the way as their commander-in-chief, therefore they will indeed remain victorious in the last battle because they will make use of My strength and anticipate My coming .... And they will stand firm until the end .... Anyone whose strength is fragile will be recalled by Me before, because he shall not fall prey to My adversary .... But you should always appeal to Me for an intensified influx of strength, you should only ever stay in contact with Me and this difficult time will pass you by as well and My coming will deliver you from all adversity. You will be able to enter the kingdom of peace, the new Earth will receive you in all its splendour and glory, and you will start a new life in and with Me, as I shall dwell in the midst of you as I have promised ....

Amen

God's assistance in vineyard work ....

B.D. 7738 from November 4th 1960, taken from Book No. 81

You will not need to do without My support if you voluntarily work for Me and My kingdom. For it is My will that you should be eagerly active because people are in great spiritual need. Therefore I will also provide you with strength when it is a matter of bringing help to them in this adversity. And since the help consists of My word being conveyed to them, since I Myself want to address them through you, you will also constantly receive the strength to be active in My will. For time is hastening and the danger of approaching the abyss is ever increasing if people are not stopped and induced to return. And again and again people will be found who let themselves be addressed by Me and keep to their previous path, and to now make the spiritual knowledge accessible to them, which is to protect them from falling into the abyss, will always be a start blessed by Me, so that you can expect all help from Me with certainty, because this is the purpose of My address, that it will also reach your fellow human beings. Therefore only ever let yourselves be guided by Me, let everything approach you, and as it comes it is good, even if you are not immediately able to recognize it as good .... But I know where a soul hungers for food and drink .... I know when a soul longs for the right nourishment, and I will also supply them with this nourishment through you. And therefore you should only be willing servants to Me, who allow yourselves to be guided by Me, who accept My instructions, who always do what their heart dictates to them and always leave themselves to Me and My guidance. And I will truly walk by your side, I will take care of you so that you will also remain suitable to work for Me and My kingdom, so that much blessing will still arise from it. For it is necessary in the end time that increased work is done in My vineyard. I still want to take hold of all those who can only be taken hold of and help them to the salvation of their souls. And My word, My direct address, has the power to influence the hearts if only it is accepted without a will of resistance, because My word can only have an effect if it is not opposed .... Then the hearts will also feel addressed by Me, they will reflect and move all words in their hearts, they will feel inwardly strengthened and want to receive ever more 'bread from heaven' .... For where the strength of My word can take effect, the guarantee is also given that the human being will now constantly desire to drink the living water, that he will again and again seek out the source where such is offered to him, and that he will again and again bow down in order to drink what his soul desires. For from Me the spring will never run dry .... never again will the human being need to starve if he desires nourishment for his soul .... My table will always be laid where he can satisfy himself, for I constantly feed the souls who want to come to Me and take supper with Me .... and you are My servants whom I send out so that you may invite the guests to come to the lord's table and be fed .... You will never be left without strength to carry out this service of yours, for it is My will that people in spiritual hardship shall be helped, and it is you through whom I want to bring help to people Myself .... And therefore I will guide you and provide you with strength, and you will constantly be able to work for Me and in My will ...._>Amen

Prayer in spirit and in truth ....

B.D. 7739 from November 7th 1960, taken from Book No. 81

You will be able to receive everything from Me if only you ask for it in the right way. And your prayer will always be right if you send it up to Me in spirit and in truth. But how often do your lips only speak empty words, how often is only the mouth involved but not the heart when you pray. And then I cannot hear your prayers because they do not reach My ear. And you would truly be able to experience miracles upon miracles if only you would always pray correctly, if only your prayer would always come from the heart and therefore also reach My ear, which always lovingly inclines when a child speaks to Me. And thus no prayer will ever be addressed to Me in vain if it is uttered in spirit and in truth, if it is a heartfelt conversation between the child and the father in which the child presents its hardship or its request to the father in faithful trust that the father will also listen to His child. Yet only a few such prayers reach Me, but these will certainly be heard by Me. For I love My children and I will not deny Myself to them unless the fulfilment of their requests would be detrimental to them. Yet a child which is faithfully devoted to Me, which is aware of its relationship with Me, will also never ask for something which harms it, for its spirit will instruct it as to what is beneficial for its soul. And I don't want My children to be in adversity, be it earthly or spiritual .... I always want to remove the hardship from them if they trustingly ask Me for it, so that they will recognize a loving father Who pays attention to their requests and helps them. But I cannot fulfil requests which are only voiced by the mouth, I cannot hear prayers which sound as formal prayers and will never reach My ear. For I am a spirit, and I want to be worshipped in spirit and in truth. And the mouth very often only speaks empty words, but the human being hopes for an answer to prayer from it .... whereas only that which arises from the heart, which betrays heartfelt devotion to Me, is of value before Me .... Then no words are needed, then intimate thoughts, a child's stammering, will suffice Me, and I will truly listen to it and not disappoint My child, for such a child believes in Me and I will not let its faith be shattered. And no human being can disguise himself before Me, I see through his heart and am not deceived by words .... I know when the spiritual spark in a person seeks his eternal father-spirit and desires to communicate with Him .... And this alone I call a prayer in spirit and in truth which cannot be replaced by words which lack this spirit. And even if it is only a call lasting a few seconds .... it is nevertheless valuable for the human being's soul, it does not fade away unheard at My ear, it is valued as a right prayer, and thus I will not leave My child in the distress of its body or soul either .... I hear its call and help it, for it has then addressed Me in spirit and in truth, it has prayed as it is My will, it found the connection with Me in its heart .... And I will not deny Myself to My child who trustingly comes to the father with a request .... For My love wants to give itself away and again and again give My children proof that the father loves them .... And thus you can also all come to Me and ask Me, but this has to be done in spirit and in truth ...._>Amen

The soul shall be fairly provided for ....

B.D. 7740 from November 8th 1960, taken from Book No. 81

Your soul needs food and drink if it is to mature in earthly life, if it is to be healthy and strong in order to be able to carry out the work which is necessary in order to be able to enter the kingdom of light and bliss in a mature state .... And therefore you should desire food and drink for your soul every day, you should know that the soul, just like your body, wants to be satisfied every day and that you should not let it go hungry, for you only received your body for the purpose of maturing your soul in it. And thus you will always offer your soul nourishment if you bring it the 'word of God' which in truth signifies food and drink for it, which is the right nourishment that imparts strength to it and lets it recover. And God Himself offers it the nourishment, God Himself calls it to His table, God Himself distributes bread and wine so that the soul can strengthen itself .... But the human being's will must also make this possible; the human being's will is decisive as to whether the soul comes into its own, whether it is nourished with the bread of heaven, with the word of God, for against its will the soul cannot be given the nourishment it needs in order to mature. Therefore, the human being's intellect is addressed first and is provided with the word of God .... And now the intellect shall pass this word on to the heart, and only then will the human being's will make the right decision, for the heart will then adjust itself and impart the divine word to the soul .... Thus the soul can now be addressed and will be allowed to feast on food and drink, and it will be grateful to the body that it helps it to receive the right nourishment, that it was willing to accept the word of God, to mentally process it and to now impart to the soul what it needs to mature. Do not let your soul go hungry, remember its wretched state when it enters the earth as a human being .... try to help it by daily supplying it with the right nourishment, which will always signify the word of God for it. And therefore always be willing to listen to the word of God wherever and however it is offered to you .... If you are willing to help your soul through it, then you will also always be led to the right source where you may draw the water of life .... you will always be allowed to hear the voice of God, in whatever way the word of God is offered to you .... For the heavenly father knows about His children's needs and will always meet them if only the human being's will is good .... And He will open up the child of life in all places where only the desire for it exists .... He will direct His word to earth and always supply it directly or also through messengers to those who desire it, who want to feed and water their soul and long for the right nourishment .... And these will never go empty-handed, they will be allowed to listen to the word of God wherever it is offered to them .... It will always be food and drink for their souls which need it to mature in earthly life. And the human being should remember his soul no less than his body, for its life will last forever, whereas the body's life will come to an end once .... And this is why God Himself will speak to you again and again, this is why He will repeatedly convey His holy word to people, for He knows the nature of their souls and wants to help them as long as they live in the flesh on this earth. He wants to help them so that one day they will be able to leave the body fully matured when the hour has come for them to depart from this world, so that they can enter the spiritual kingdom, into a life full of light and bliss ...._>Amen

Remedy for powerlessness .... prayer - request ....

B.D. 7741 from November 10th 1960, taken from Book No. 81

Love gives you strength .... and if you are therefore without strength then you also know that you lack love, that you still have to work on your soul, that you still have to transform your nature into love and that you will then no longer feel powerless. And because you yourselves are therefore not yet full of love you have to pray .... you must come to Me and ask Me to help you, to fill you with strength .... that I ignite love in you and thus want to impart strength to you .... And your prayer will be heard.... Everything you don't possess yourselves you can receive from Me. And thus I can also kindle love in you into bright embers if this is your will and if you present your lack of love to Me and appeal to Me for help .... Then I can truly let My strength overflow into you, and this will always result in an increased urge for loving activity in you. I grant you every spiritual request, and this is a spiritual request if you feel too lacking in love yourselves and request My strength of love. And I will gladly comply with such a request. Therefore you can never say that you are incapable of love, for I Myself make up for every deficiency in you as soon as you are willing to live in love. And therefore the bond with Me is absolutely necessary if you want to mature your souls. For without such a bond My strength cannot flow into you, and thus you lack it. But you can practice love at any time because My spark of love rests within you, because the bond with Me can therefore always be established and the strength to work with love is then also within you. You don't know what great strength love is, yet since I am both strength and love you will also always possess strength and love if you unite with Me, for then you yourselves will long for what you once voluntarily gave away .... you long for your original nature again and open yourselves to My illumination of love .... Thus you will no longer be weak and master everything in earthly life, no matter what demands are made of you. You need never fear weakness and lack of strength because this will be remedied immediately if you devote yourselves to Me, if you want to receive strength from Me. Then you will inwardly urge yourselves to be active with love, and nothing will hold you back from loving activity, for the bond with Me already makes you happy, and then you will always be willing to fulfil My will .... you strive towards Me ever more eagerly, you will also increasingly recognize My will in an awakened spirit, and your whole being will be filled with love and have a beneficial effect on your surroundings .... You will contribute towards the redemption of the still unfree spiritual, because love impels you, which is My direct expression in you. Therefore don't be fearful when you feel powerless but then only ever remember your father Who does not want to leave His children in their weakness but truly gives to you abundantly if only you ask Him for it. And every request also presupposes the bond with Me, but every bond enables the influx of strength of love .... This is why a loving person will also always remember Me, or also: A person who remains united with Me will also always work in love and never feel weak. For I am also present to anyone who is united with Me, and My presence eliminates all weakness. And if you sometimes feel weak then you know that I desire your heartfelt bond, for I can only bestow gifts upon you if you turn to the father like children for help ...._>Amen

About the UFO convention ....

B.D. 7742 from November 11th 1960, taken from Book No. 81

One thing is certain: I will protect My Own in the hollow of My hand when the end has come .... I truly have enough angels to whom I can entrust My Own, whom I instruct to build a protective wall around them. And thus you can all know that you are protected in My care, come what may. Therefore I want to caution you not to abandon yourselves to, and expect help from, beings whom you suspect to be outside of My spiritual kingdom .... who thus have not yet reached the perfection of beings of light capable of implementing My instructions .... I want to warn you about looking for contact with inhabitants from other worlds, which you can only establish spiritually but who cannot offer you the guarantee of imparting truth to you. Time and again it has to be said that only 'perfect beings' may and are able to carry out tasks which guarantee you protection and assistance ....

Beings who have not yet achieved this perfection will always still reside, for the purpose of their development, on such works of creation to which they are bound by natural law .... Thus you have to distinguish between beings of light who accomplish My will on My behalf and dwell with Me in the kingdom of light, and beings who are still constrained, who have not yet achieved complete spiritual freedom as long as they still live on all kinds of celestial bodies for the purpose of spiritual maturation. You should not rely on psychic messages from those worlds which are and remain unreachable for you humans on earth and vice versa. Do not count on help from those worlds when the end of the earth comes in accordance with the eternal plan .... For I Myself will protect and rescue My Own from their adversity, because only I know who belongs to My Own .... Do you believe that you will be rescued by merely mustering sympathy for these dwellers of other stars?

What misconception do you suffer from, you lack all clear understanding of My plan of Salvation, which will certainly be implemented when the time comes. And would I not inform you of it Myself if it were My will that you should entrust yourselves to these beings whom your fellow human beings want you to believe in? Since I convey the truth to earth I would not withhold this information from you if it were true .... Yet you would rather doubt My Words than the reports which are passed on to you through My adversary's influence. And I want you to know the truth .... I repeatedly want to assure you that My Own will be protected and that innumerable angels will take care of them, because they comply with My will and also have the strength to help you. And therefore it will not require earthly means of help, for My love, might and wisdom will become clearly evident at the end, albeit My working can and will then be contrary to natural law because My Own believe that everything is possible and the unbelievers will be devoured by the earth ....

But I do not require My Own to believe in appearances or reports which come to people by means which do not correspond to My will .... Why don't you contact Me? Why do you call on beings whose degree of maturity you cannot estimate? .... Why do you entrust yourselves to these beings and believe that they will protect you when the last day of the end has come? I only require your faith in Me in Jesus Christ, and anyone who intimately unites with Me Myself in this faith will truly not need visible or invisible helpers, for My angels with an abundance of strength and might will constantly stand by his side and always act in accordance with My will. And he will not want to establish contact with inhabitants of other worlds whose degree of maturity is unknown to him either, for this can only take place by way of mediumship which, due to its great danger, should not be taken by you humans. For you are truly able to hear Me Myself if it is your will and you ask Me for the truth .... And then you will surely be instructed truthfully ....

Amen

"Working of the spirit" .... Warning against mediumistic receptions ....

B.D. 7743 from November 12th 1960, taken from Book No. 81

The direct transmission of My word to earth can and must be assessed differently than other transmissions from the spiritual kingdom, which can very easily be of a negative nature if the recipients do not possess a very high degree of spiritual maturity so that they are protected from error by the world of light. Thus it is certainly possible for the world of light to intervene where this high degree of maturity is recognizable, but then it will always try to influence those people to establish the spiritual bond with Me Myself and certainly awaken a feeling of resistance in them in order to avoid the dangers which an intercourse with the spiritual world can always offer. People should indeed always unite with the world of light and voluntarily place themselves under its protection, yet as soon as it concerns accepting knowledge from them they should always be on their guard .... For it is My will to acquire spiritual knowledge through 'working with the spirit' .... My will is for the human being to awaken the spirit within himself through loving activity, which then unites with the eternal father-spirit, and that he then allows himself to be taught by Me, as I promised when I lived on earth. For it is a matter of conveying the pure truth to you humans, of introducing you to the truth, which can only happen through My spirit. Then those beings of light can indeed also convey the truth to you but they will do it instead of Me, they will offer you on My behalf what your soul is capable of receiving. But it is always My father-spirit of eternity which addresses the spiritual spark in you .... You hear My voice which you hear in your heart, which the physical ear does not hear because it is not the body but the soul which is addressed and thus you are addressed from within by My spirit. If, however, you are granted spiritual receptions which you hear with your physical ear, which are conveyed to you by a person in a mediumistic state, then a spiritual being will indeed express itself through this person but it is not 'My spirit' which expresses itself in you .... And you don't know in which degree of light of love that spiritual being is which expresses itself to you .... If a person's maturity of soul is inadequate it is understandable that he believes such proclamations precisely because they originate from the spiritual kingdom, for inadequate maturity of soul also means inadequate knowledge of the lawful order which prevails in My kingdom .... And thus the human being can never judge whether the truth is conveyed to him .... but he believes everything that is presented to him. And in this way much error is spread amongst people because My adversary can intervene where the degree of maturity is not very high .... But if the human being endeavours to live in accordance with My will he will inwardly resist such messages, for this is already the voice of My spirit which warns him not to accept everything as truth and which encourages him to seek the bond with Me himself .... And then he is also given the guarantee that he will receive pure truth. For even if he is not immediately able to hear My voice within himself his thinking will nevertheless be right, for as soon as the human being desires the truth it will also be conveyed to him, and he will refrain from statements by beings from the spiritual world which he is unable to judge himself from which sphere they come .... You shall let My spirit speak within you, and you shall prepare yourselves to be a vessel into which My spirit can pour itself. For I have given you the promise that "I will pour out My spirit upon all flesh ...." And therefore you should not try to achieve something by wrong means: the supply of truth .... which only I Myself, as the eternal truth, can ever give to you .... You should not take paths which can also be a danger for you, although I will protect every person from error who only seriously desires the truth ...._>Amen

Selfless distribution of the Word ....

B.D. 7744 from November 13th 1960, taken from Book No. 81

Thus step into the circuit of My flow of love and let yourselves be instructed by Me: It is a tremendous gift of grace which you may receive from Me, and this gift of grace flows to you undeservedly. It is, so to speak, the evidence of My infinite love for you, who became sinful of your own will and shall return to Me voluntarily. And in view of the near end I truly try everything in order to make this return possible for you, to change your will and to provide you with the strength to take the path of ascent, which will lead you back to Me. You humans have not deserved this grace as long as are you still deliberately turned away from Me. And yet I convey it to you because I love you. I choose a suitable instrument for Myself which is willing to accept My Word directly and to forward it to its fellow human beings .... This, therefore, happens from My side in order to still gain all of you who defected from Me and to a large extent still are .... But now your task starts by making the right use of this great gift of grace .... And this involves first of all the unselfish distribution of that which is granted to you by My love. Thus you should do the same as I do: let My flow of grace pour into the vessels which open themselves .... You shall give what you receive, just as I give to you .... out of love. Most of all you should remember that it is spiritual knowledge that is imparted to you from Me, and that this spiritual knowledge must never be utilised in a material sense. It is self-evident to anyone who recognises Me and My love in this unusual gift of grace that it is only possible on a spiritual level to convey My Word to its destination, to the souls which require nourishment, which shall be addressed by Me so that they will obtain the blessing of My Words .... so that they will find and take the path back to Me into their Father's house. And thus you will also understand that no earthly interests of any kind may devalue this gift of grace. You have a Father Who is wealthy and can also share His wealth with you .... Who can and will also provide you with earthly blessings if only you serve Him selflessly.

As long as you have not understood this truth, you are not suited to distribute a divine gift of grace, and then you should keep your hands off it because you will only desecrate what your God and Father gives to you in His love and because it will not be a blessing for you either, because I don't support what contradicts My will .... I will never give My blessing to such an undertaking as soon as it entails an earthly desire for the goods of this world. It is My will that you should be of selfless service to Me and have given you the promise that I will take both earthly and spiritual care of you providing you only ever consider your salvation of soul the most important issue. You merely prove your unbelief if you worry too much about your earthly life, for then you will not primarily consider your soul's salvation .... for I have said to you 'Seek ye first the kingdom of God .... and all these things shall be added unto you ....' And if you now even receive a gift from heaven, which should truly demonstrate My love as well as My presence to you, then you should also forego all earthly considerations .... you should let yourselves by guided by Me and only ever try to fulfil My will .... However, the distribution of My Word from above is necessary, and for this reason I convey to you this serious Word of Mine which you should heed .... Entrust yourselves to Me entirely and believe that I will not let you, who are willing to help Me selflessly, get into difficulties .... but also know that you reduce the value of My gift yourselves if you associate it with earthly expectations which I will never fulfil but which might impair the spreading of My Word with the result that the blessing from above will fail to materialise. And thus you should first realise what an unusual gift of grace you receive from Me .... Then love and gratitude will overwhelm you and only then will you be true vineyard labourers for Me, for you will also know that My blessing will accompany every work you do and that you will work successfully for Me and My kingdom .... And then you will experience an abundance of blessings, for My love will have seized you and escort you until the end .... And then you will serve Me forever and be blissfully happy ....

Amen

God's unceasing proofs of love ....

B.D. 7745 from November 14th 1960, taken from Book No. 81

This shall be regarded as proof of My love that I speak to you. And therefore you shall experience My love, as children you shall feel eternally united with the father, you shall know that there can never be a separation between us, for even your voluntary separation from Me does not exist in truth, for you would no longer exist if I, as the eternal power of love, had withdrawn Myself from you .... Thus your existence is already the evidence of the unity between Me and you, which can never be revoked, and whether you still keep yourselves so far away from Me of your own free will. And so that you believe that you belong to Me, so that you believe that My illumination of strength sustains you, I reveal Myself to you, i.e., I present evidence of My existence to you .... I speak to you. But only then will My address become proof for you if you want to have proof yourselves of a power Which let you arise .... I answer you as soon as you ask .... I appear when you want to recognize Me .... I speak to you when you open your ear and heart, when you yourselves want Me to reveal Myself to you. And depending on your heart's love you will feel My love for you and also return it to Me, which is the aim and purpose of My address from above. For I want to win your love again, which you once denied Me .... I want to be recognized as God and creator again by you who once denied Me your acknowledgement. And if I now provide you with knowledge which is taught to you from within .... if you receive unusual knowledge which is not brought to you from outside .... if this knowledge brightly enlightens you and you learn to understand all correlations, then you must recognize a revelation from above in it and regard it as evidence of My love which has been valid for you since the beginning and will be valid for you for all eternity. And you must learn to love Me, you must desire to return to the father again from Whom you once came forth .... You must voluntarily seek contact with Him because your love impels you to merge with Me again as in the beginning. You shall now experience My love, you shall therefore know that My love has done everything for you in order to redeem your past sin of apostasy from Me .... you shall know that My love will never let you get lost forever, that it will not give you up, even if you still persist in resisting Me for so long .... My love wants to break your resistance, and voluntarily you shall now return to Me as you once voluntarily left Me .... Yet My love has not yet withdrawn from you, My love also pursued you into the abyss and helped you up again, and My love now pursues you as a human being and only wants to achieve the aim that you also reciprocate it and establish unity with Me still on earth. But My love respects your free will .... And that is why such a long time often passes until you return home to the father .... That is why I come to you again and again and speak to you. But you must open your heart and ear yourselves, you must direct your steps to Me yourselves so that I can then come towards you and shine upon you with My strength of love, so that you are now bound to Me, so that you tie on a bond of love yourselves which you will never be willing to loosen again. My love for you is exceedingly great, and My love will also reach the aim that you will voluntarily return to Me in order to no longer separate yourselves from your God and creator, from your father of eternity ...._>Amen

Fighting or serving in love ....

B.D. 7746 from November 15th 1960, taken from Book No. 81

The path to Me is not always even, for I can only be reached in te height, and you have to walk upwards, you have to use strength in order to reach the aim. Therefore you will often have to overcome obstacles, you will be exposed to adversities, and your love for Me must therefore prove itself if you use the strength which the path of return to Me requires. But intimate thoughts of Me are enough and I will come to your aid .... Therefore you should not fear the battle of life, you should know that every overcoming will bring you further in your development, you should know that your soul will mature if only you don't lose sight of your aim, if I Myself am this aim for you, Who truly meets you and supports you where you lack strength. It is only a short time that you live on earth, and if this time brings struggle for you then you will also know that I am concerned about your soul's salvation which, however, is in danger if your earthly existence passes peacefully and without any struggle. Then you will always remain on the same level .... unless love fills your heart so that the soul nevertheless matures .... Then you will probably have less struggle to endure. For this reason all struggles should remind you to make an effort to live an elevated life of love .... And you should not be timid, for you are always in My care when I am the content of your thoughts .... when you endeavour to live in My will. Then nothing need frighten you, for then it will only ever be permissions on My part which serve the maturing of your soul, and then you can also always be certain that I will take the burdens from you again when their purpose has been achieved. For I don't want My children to suffer but I cannot take everything from them because otherwise they cannot progress upwards, which, however, is the purpose and aim of earthly life. Earthly life will always be a certain struggle for the human being, because without struggle there can be no victory either. And the human being shall be victorious, he shall use all his strength in order to emerge victorious against all temptations, against all opposition. He should always remain in contact with Me and I Myself will then also give him the strength he needs to resist. And he should always make more of an effort to serve with love, then the battles will be ever less, for only through fighting or serving does the human being attain perfection .... Serving love provides the human being with so much strength that he can easily overcome resistance, thus he no longer fears a fight either .... For love is strength, and he who has love is also spared many struggles .... he who has love progresses upwards, and he also reaches the aim ...._>Amen

"With God no thing is impossible .... "

B.D. 7747 from November 16th 1960, taken from Book No. 81

No adversity is so great that it cannot be remedied, for no thing is impossible for Me .... But you don't believe these words either or there would be no adversity for you, otherwise you would face every adversity, whether spiritual or earthly, with this confidence that I will remove it from you. But as long as you lack this trust you prevent Me from intervening in an unusual way, and thus you remain burdened with this adversity. But if you seriously imagine that everything that surrounds you .... every work of creation and every being .... came forth from My hand, that My will and My might alone sufficed to create .... if you can therefore believe in My might with conviction, then you only lack faith in My love which wants to fill you with everything so that you will not suffer. But as long as this faith has not yet come alive in you, you are not yet in love yourselves, and then you cannot give yourselves to Me in full trust and love, and thus you yourselves set up a limit for My working of love, for everything is bound by My law of eternal order, and love cannot become effective as long as it encounters resistance. Hence there is still much hardship amongst humanity, for My will to help is bound to your faith and your faith again depends on the degree of your love. But love has grown cold amongst people. Nevertheless, again and again you should try to imagine My being, Which is love, wisdom and power in itself .... Again and again you should let all creations around you be indications of the creator Who can do everything He wants and wants everything that is a blessing for you humans. But if you had love within yourselves then you would not need to be oppressed by adversity either, for then you would trustingly come to Me with every worry and submit it to Me .... And truly, no thing is impossible for Me .... What people cannot accomplish is only a work of the will for Me, and it has been done .... This is why it is also said that a strong faith can move mountains .... And this faith in Me and My love .... in My might and wisdom and therefore only ever make an effort to live in love. For then you will truly also be allowed to experience the effect of this love, you will be in constant contact with Me, My presence will be and remain certain and conscious to you, and then you will no longer fear anything you encounter. Come to Me with all your needs and present them to Me .... believe that I love you and also want to help you to get rid of your adversity .... And be willing and loving yourselves, and your hardship will be taken away from you, you will be allowed to experience solutions of the most wonderful kind, you will obviously see My intervention and My help, for I will also make Myself known to you so that you will return My love, so that you will learn to love Me and strive towards Me with all your heart and soul .... For I want to win you and will therefore always prove Myself to you as a loving father Who helps His children in every adversity ...._>Amen

Original sin and atonement through Jesus Christ ....

B.D. 7748 from November 17th 1960, taken from Book No. 81

In My great mercy for you I accomplished the act of Salvation in Jesus, the human being .... That which I had externalised had sinned against Me and only a small proportion of the created beings remained with Me when the decision of will, which I demanded in order to make the created beings immeasurably happy, had to be taken. They wanted to behold Me, and since this was impossible .... because the beings would have ceased to exist had they beheld the huge abundance of light .... they turned towards the one they were able to see, whom I externalised as the first spirit from Myself in My image .... However, the beings were not lacking realisation and therefore aware that they had emerged from Me, yet despite this they turned away from Me and towards the former, which was the immense sin that plunged them into a bottomless abyss .... But their condition aroused My pity, I felt sorry for the beings which My adversary .... the first fallen spirit .... kept under his control in a completely unenlightened state and whose exceedingly wretched situation would never ever have changed had I not granted them My mercy .... This was the result of the love which had once created those beings and which therefore also followed them into the abyss .... My infinite love did not abandon the fallen beings, which belonged to Me as well. For they had emerged from My strength, which incessantly flowed to My first-created being .... Lucifer .... and enabled him to create countless beings .... Therefore, these beings belonged to Me, too, however, they had become sinful of their own free will, they had voluntarily followed My present 'adversary' .... Nevertheless, the fate of these fallen beings aroused My pity, I wanted to provide them with the opportunity of working their way up from below until they could reach a state of free will again in order to take another test of will as to which Lord they wanted to belong to. But as a result of rejecting My strength of love, the beings had become so weak that even when I returned free will to them after an infinitely long time they still failed their test of will .... And this weakness of the beings aroused My mercy and I was determined to accomplish the act of Salvation in order to convey strength to the weak, which was acquired through the atonement of the past guilt .... through the agonising death on the cross .... I felt such overwhelming compassion for the fallen beings that I was willing to take the sins upon Me and to exonerate them. But since I was unable to suffer as God, the work of redemption had to happen in a human being Who, for love of his fellow human beings, agreed to atone for them, and Who crowned His act of love with an extremely agonising death on the cross .... The actual Redeemer of the guilt was the love in Jesus, the human being, and I Myself was this love .... I Myself was overwhelmingly powerful in Jesus, the human being, I was able to use My strength in Him to full effect, His every action was determined by love, and thus 'Love' accomplished the act of Salvation, It merely harboured within a human shell which took this superhuman suffering upon itself ....

'Love' took pity upon humanity and redeemed the immense guilt of sin which caused the fallen spiritual beings such wretchedness .... Love had mercy and opened the path again which led back into the Father's house .... Only Love was able to redress God's righteousness, for this could not be ignored since it is part of My nature, otherwise My perfection would be questionable. And for the sake of righteousness the immense guilt had to be redeemed so that it would be possible for Me to accept My living creations into My kingdom of light and bliss again .... And thus a way was found .... 'Love' sheltered within a human being Who was capable of suffering and Who, because of love, was willing to take the immense guilt upon Himself and suffer immeasurably for it and finally die the most bitter death on the cross .... Jesus, the man, walked this path to the cross, He sheltered the Love in Himself which I Am for all eternity .... Only in this way was it possible to redeem the immense guilt. Only great mercy motivated Me into personally taking care of My living creations which were wretched beyond all measure and who, without help, would never have been able to release themselves from My adversary's power. Since they had followed him into the abyss voluntarily, he was entitled to these beings. I do not deny him this right but these beings also belong to Me, and therefore I fight for them and help them to reinforce their will so that they try to release themselves and indeed are able to do so through the blessings acquired on the cross. Jesus, the human being, accepted Me Myself within Himself .... Through His life of love He so shaped Himself that I Myself, the Eternal Love, was able to take abode in Him .... that I so completely permeated Him that He only wanted and did what 'Love' demanded of Him .... so that I Myself therefore carried out the act of Salvation, because Jesus, the human being, had utterly entered into My will. For He and I were One, He was 'God' in all fullness, and only His external shell was 'human' for the eyes of His fellow human beings .... But even this external shell had spiritualised itself, it merely continued to be 'human' until the act of Salvation was accomplished .... For only Jesus, the human being, was able to suffer, and His suffering and pain were indescribable because the guilt He had taken upon His shoulders in order to atone for it was also indescribable. So now every human being can release himself from his guilt if he acknowledges Me Myself in Jesus Christ and accepts the blessing of the act of Salvation .... if he believes in Him and also that I died in Him for you in order to set you free ....

Amen

Constant feeding of the soul ....

B.D. 7749 from November 18th 1960, taken from Book No. 81

You may draw from the spring and you will never lack the water of life. You need only be willing to seek out the spring and bow down, you need only have the desire to refresh your soul and supply it with strength on its pilgrimage. And the strength will flow into you, for it receives the right nourishment from My spring, it no longer needs to starve, it will always be fed by Me Myself, Who has opened up this spring for it. It is your father's love Who takes care of you that you mature on earth, that you take the path to Me which leads upwards and therefore also requires strength. It is your father's love which leads you to the source, which again and again offers you food and drink and which encourages you to rest at the source and to strengthen yourselves .... For your father's love is concerned about your souls which can only reach the aim if they are supplied with strength. And I want to impart this strength to you because you lack it. I give with full hands, I distribute food and drink without measure, yet I don't force you to accept My gifts of love, I leave it up to you to come to Me and let Me give to you .... But you should also know that you harm yourselves if you don't accept My gift of grace .... you should know that there is no substitute for My word, for the bread from heaven which is nourishment for your soul. You should know that one day you will have to answer for whether and how you have valued the gift of grace which was given to you .... And the word itself will be your accuser .... For the word itself came to you .... I Myself spoke to you and you closed your heart and ear to My word. You must not reject My word, for it is the greatest gift of grace you can be offered on earth, it is the most visible evidence of My love which wants to help you reach your aim on earth. Therefore I Myself come to you in the word, I reveal to you the spring from which the water of life flows unstoppably and refreshes every pilgrim who bends down in order to draw from it. Everyone will be able to draw strength from My word, everyone will be addressed by My word, he will learn about My will, and if he complies with this will then he will not only be a listener but a doer of My word, and he will feel the strength which now flows towards him from Me Myself .... And his soul will be saved, for once it has received the strength from My word it will constantly desire it .... it will come to Me again and again and want to be fed and watered by Me, it will come to My table and take supper with Me .... For now the father can constantly provide for His child and its soul will never need to suffer want. Therefore it is your most important task in earthly life to accept My word, to give Me the opportunity to address you, to unite with Me in prayer, thus to come to the 'source' of strength and now open yourselves full of desire so that I can refresh you .... And now you will be able to draw from the fountain of life, for I do not deny Myself, I give Myself to everyone who only desires My gift of love ...._>Amen

Light bearers enlighten the way ....

B.D. 7750 from November 19th 1960, taken from Book No. 81

You need much light, for it is dark on earth, and humanity walks along in spiritual darkness .... And in this darkness it does not recognize the path which leads upwards .... It walks on a broad road which, however, leads down into the valley of perdition. But your aim is above and that is why you have to walk upwards, you have to take the paths which are indeed narrow and uneven but which lead you safely towards the aim. And these narrow paths must be enlightened and then you will walk them without any misgivings, then you will be able to overcome all obstacles .... you will avoid the dangerous cliffs, you will safely reach the top, for you will be preceded by bearers of light whom you need only follow. And these bearers of light have been assigned to you by Me Myself for your earthly path, yet you were and are free to place yourselves in their light and follow them .... But you need light otherwise you would never be able to ascend. Earth is still in the realm of darkness, and when you enter it as a human being your soul is also still shrouded in darkness .... You know nothing about your purpose of existence, you know nothing about your relationship with Me and your earthly task. You only see the earthly world and all your thoughts and aspirations are only directed towards this earthly world. And therefore a light has to be kindled in you .... The knowledge of your God and creator, of your father of eternity, of His will and of the meaning and purpose of your earthly life, must be conveyed to you. And if you take this knowledge into yourselves, a small light will begin to shine within you. If you now feel comfortable in the glow of the light you will seek to increase the luminosity, you will want to acquire increased knowledge, you will want to make contact with your God and creator .... it will urge you from within to seek contact with Me, and then the light within you can also never go out again .... And then you will also never resist when light bearers join you, for you will recognize them as My messengers, you will be grateful for every ray of light which now illuminates your earthly path, that is, you will attain realization and in this realization learn to love Me ever more, and then you will consciously take the path upwards, upwards, to Me as the eternal light .... For bright light shines towards you from above .... a true knowledge comes to you from above, you grow in realization and feel happy to now be able to gain insight into My reign and activity, to know about the original beginning and final aim of all that is, and you will be overwhelmed by My love and surrender to Me .... you will recognize the father in Me, Whom all your happiness and bliss is now to love .... Therefore you must take the path of light, you cannot go through earthly life in spiritual blindness, you must want the light of truth to shine in you, and you must follow the messengers of light who truly bring you the light from Me Myself, so that the darkness of night, which is spread across earth, will be broken through. Therefore desire the light, desire that it shines in your hearts, and ask Me, as the eternal light, for right guidance on the path to ascent. And truly, you will no longer need to fear the darkness, the path you have to take will be shown to you brightly and clearly, and you will also cover it without resistance because the light makes you happy, in the glow of which you feel safe and secure. For I will not let you walk in darkness if you desire for light .... for Me Myself ...._>Amen

Flight to God is defence against the adversary ....

B.D. 7751 from November 21st 1960, taken from Book No. 81

Only the bond with Me gives you inner peace, for if you are united with Me My adversary can no longer harass you because he flees from Me. Therefore always take refuge in Me, seek comfort and help from Me when you are in earthly or spiritual adversity. And then you will certainly also push away the enemy of your souls who tries to put you into turmoil in order to then be able to work on you according to his will. But he will let go of you when he sees that you can come to Me with all your worries and needs. It is only your will which repels him or allows him to work. For he cannot force you to be in bondage to him, and he gives up his plans as soon as he sees that you unite with Me. Therefore only ever turn your thoughts to Me, don't fear the daily discord, hand yourselves over to Me in faithful trust and I will truly protect you and guide you correctly through your earthly life .... But the battle against the enemy of your souls will increase the closer the end is .... And anyone who is weak in his trust in Me will have a difficult battle against him. But for this reason I advise you again and again to take refuge with Me as soon as you are harassed, as soon as your thoughts become unhappy or anxious, for these are the signs of his nearness, because he wants to deprive you of your inner peace in order to prevent you from making contact with Me. And then seek contact with Me all the more, for I hear the slightest call which comes from the heart, and I am truly always ready to protect you. In the end time people will be increasingly more harassed by him, but increasingly more grace will also flow to you from My side so that you can take up the battle with the enemy of your soul, so that you will be resilient and need not fear him. For what can he do to you if you have Me by your side for protection. You just have to come to Me voluntarily, for this is what I require of you, that you take refuge with the father like children and appeal to Him for protection and help. Then you will prove your will to release yourselves from the one you once voluntarily followed to the abyss. And then I possess your will, and I can seize you and always be ready for your protection. And you may believe that he cannot oppress you if you join Me, if you allow Me to be present to you by entrusting yourselves to Me .... Then peace will enter your heart again .... he cannot oppress you because then you will be under My protection .... because you have surrendered to Me ...._>Amen

Faith struggle and last decision ....

B.D. 7752 from November 22nd 1960, taken from Book No. 81

Only I can grant you sufficient protection in the last days before the end, when the battle of faith will erupt and all of you who belong to Me will be in great spiritual distress .... If you join Me intimately, no anxiety will seize your heart, you will calmly let everything come to you with My help, and I will truly not disappoint you either .... For the bond with Me ensures My help, the bond with Me fills you with strength and confidence and then you will also be able to persevere until the end. But the living connection with Me must be established, you must pray to Me in spirit and in truth .... I cannot listen to the prayers of formal christians, which are only spoken by the mouth and therefore do not reach My ear. You must speak to Me as a child speaks to its father and then you will also feel My presence and a sense of security will come over you, you will be able to resist your oppressors, you will beat them with speeches because I Myself will put the words into your mouth .... and they will not be able to refute you, although you will not win them over for yourselves because My adversary still has them firmly in his grip .... Yet I Myself am with you, I fight by your side, and My adversary cannot withstand My light and will therefore turn away from you again .... But again and again he tries to incite your fellow human beings against you, and that is why you can only counter them with My strength .... Just hold on to Me and ask Me beforehand for the supply of strength which My love will truly not deny you. Yet it will be difficult for those who do not yet have living faith, who therefore have not yet penetrated the truth and who will now be confronted by a serious decision and find it difficult to make this decision because they have no inner bond with Me. They will not close their minds to the arguments My adversary will oppose them with, they will abandon their faith because they have no true faith and therefore no firm confidence that I Myself will support them in the battle of faith .... They fear earthly power and therefore give in to its desire to completely deny Me and My act of salvation .... And thus they do not pass the last test of faith on this earth .... And I still want to help all people, I still want to bring all people to a living faith, I want to prove Myself to them as a loving father so that they can take refuge in Me in every adversity. For people will still be affected by many adversities, because this is indispensable if they are still to attain a living faith. For as soon as they call upon Me in spirit and in truth I will also make Myself known to them as a loving God and father, and then they could also be able to believe .... But I cannot force their will, I must leave them free to decide if this is demanded of them. But I call out to all people: Firmly attach yourselves to Me, associate with Me as a child associates with its father and constantly appeal to Me for strength .... And you will truly overcome the time you still have to get through .... You will prevail in the last battle on this earth, you will emerge victorious and now also be able to reap the fruits of your strong faith .... For blessed are you if you persevere until the end ...._>Amen

God can only be recognized through truth ....

B.D. 7753 from November 23rd 1960, taken from Book No. 81

And you will truly be instructed in truth when the word from above is sounded to you. And even if human intellect ponders and researches, it will only rarely succeed in providing the evidence that the results of intellectual research are truth, as soon as it concerns knowledge for which only I Myself am responsible, because I alone know about it. But I can transfer the knowledge to people, I can convey it to earth, I can impart it through the heart to a person who declares himself willing and has prepared himself such that he will hear My utterances from above within himself .... that his spirit can be addressed by Me Myself. And this person will then truly be instructed in the truth, because I want humanity to know the truth. For the knowledge of truth can still bring those people to faith who are still distant from Me; truth can influence their thinking, truth can give them an image of Me as their God and creator which appears acceptable to them .... and thus truth can cause them to seek contact with Me, which, however, error will never achieve .... But people's thinking is still very much in error, and it is the consequence that they reject Me, that they don't want to believe in a God and creator Who is love, wisdom and might in Himself. Error is My adversary's spawn, error is his means to maintain the separation between the beings and Me .... just as truth will lead to seeking the bond with Me. Thus My adversary always endeavours to confuse people's thinking for which he makes use of their intellect, for it certainly performs its function but always according to the influence which affects it .... And as long as the human being is still turned away from Me My adversary has access, and he truly makes use of his right .... But if truth is presented to the human being by his fellow human being which has originated from Me Myself, his will can also decide to examine this truth, and if he is of good will he will be able to recognize Me in truth and his thinking will change .... from the error of truth to .... from My adversary and to Me to .... And then the truth will have triumphed .... And therefore it will always be and remain My concern to convey the truth to you humans from above, for you can only become blissfully happy through the truth, because only through the truth will you be able to gain a clear image of your God and creator, Who wants to be your father and Whom you therefore should learn to love .... which only the truth can achieve. Error distorts My image, and if My love, wisdom and might are not revealed to you I am not the perfect being for you either, Who deserves your love .... But I want to regain your love which you once denied Me. And I will also succeed in doing so, because I will not cease to court your love and therefore always convey truthful knowledge to you which shall make you happy, which shall lead you to Me again and unite you. For the love which your God and father bestows upon you does not tolerate you humans on earth to live in error either, but it leaves you full freedom .... It does not force you to accept the truth but reveals itself to you so visibly that you can recognize the 'eternal truth itself' when you hear words which were conveyed from above to earth, which the father Himself speaks to His children in order to win their love .... For My adversary works wherever he can in order to hand you humans over to ruin, and therefore I oppose him with My activity, for I want to rescue you from his power .... I want to help you to eternal life ...._>Amen

The transformation work of Earth ....

B.D. 7754 from November 24th 1960, taken from Book No. 81

In My plan of eternity the day is determined which signifies the end of this earth, which both earthly as well as spiritually entails a total change. And My plan will irrevocably be carried out, for I foresaw humanity's low spiritual level from the start, and thus the plan of Salvation is devised such that it will time and again include new developmental eras, as My love and wisdom foresaw this to be good for the spiritual beings which are intended to advance in their maturity .... Thus one developmental period comes to an end and a new one will start again .... The end of the earth can never purely be regarded as a work of destruction. It also must be realised that the still bound spiritual substances also need help to continue their development and that therefore the creation of a new earth has become necessary, which first requires the disintegration of the old works of creation on earth. But I will not let anything come upon humanity without announcing it in advance so that they can prepare themselves for it, so that they can still do what it takes in order to avoid the dreadful fate of a new banishment, which will meet those people who fail, who exist without faith in Me and who therefore have not used their life on earth to liberate themselves. Time after time I announce the end to people, and again and again I point out the signs which reveal the last days .... time after time I warn those people who carelessly and thoughtlessly live from day to day and through seers and prophets refer them to the near Judgment, for the day of the end was set from the start because I foresaw that a spiritual change for the better will not happen anymore and because people's low spiritual level requires an end.

And thus all references, all prophesies, concerning a near end should only ever be considered to be loving gestures of admonition and warning by which your God and Creator would still like to save you before it is too late .... I truly don't want your downfall, I want you to live forever and still obtain this life on earth. But you don't take any notice of what I let you know and have predicted since the beginning of the epoch .... You transfer all these announcements into the future and don't take into account that one day even the future will become the present .... And the time has come when My Word is fulfilling itself, when My plan of Salvation is being carried out .... And no matter how much you doubt when the near end is announced to you .... it will take you by surprise because the time has come to an end. Even if a thousand years are like a day before Me .... this day will also come to an end, just as the thousand years will pass by, and you are standing at the verge .... It is you who will experience the end if I don't recall one or the other of you prematurely for their own sake .... You should always bear the near end in mind, you should live as if every day is your last, as if you will have to justify yourselves the next day. And you will truly do well by turning your thoughts heavenwards, by considering the spiritual life more than the earthly one .... for then you will not need to dread an end either, you will calmly look ahead to whatever approaches you. But you will also believe that the end of this earth has come .... You will recognise the signs of the time and appeal to Me for strength .... and you will certainly be saved from ruin ....

Amen

Doubts about the truth of the predictions ....

B.D. 7755 from November 25th 1960, taken from Book No. 81

Even in you, who want to serve Me, thoughts of doubt often arise when you are to proclaim the approaching end .... You are certainly willing to believe and the correlations are also obvious to you so that you believe an end of this earth is possible. Yet you are not fully convinced of this because you are not yet able to cite a parallel for such an event, because no such event has yet been reported through tradition which resulted in the destruction of all creations on earth. And it must be that nothing of this kind is known to you, so that there is no compulsion of will in the last days, so that people can freely decide to which lord they hand themselves over. And you, My servants, who want to work for Me and My kingdom, you should only ever firmly adhere to My word .... you should believe that My word is truth and that I will by no means let you receive knowledge through the spirit which does not correspond to the truth. You should believe with complete conviction, and you can also do so if only you are willing not to spread error and thus appeal to Me Myself for protection from error .... For then I will truly neither let you think nor speak erroneously. But you, in turn, will feel inwardly urged to pass on the predictions conveyed to you by Me, you will feel it your duty to speak of them, and I Myself will instruct you to speak what I Myself would speak if I lived amongst people and could address them directly. Don't be afraid to speak untruths as long as you are willing to serve Me, to be active as My servants in the vineyard of the lord. For if it were an error you wanted to spread, you would most certainly feel a clear resistance within yourselves and .... keep silent .... But I want people to know what awaits them and what events they are facing, for they should not remain unaware, they should have the opportunity to prepare themselves for it. But they will always hear the opposite from the worldly side, for the world is My adversary's kingdom and My adversary always tries to influence people such that they expect earthly gain, earthly progress and earthly prosperity from the future and don't remember their God and creator. But I want them to disregard everything the world offers them and only think of their soul's salvation. And therefore you should present everything to them as transient, you should announce to them that everything will be taken away from them and that they can even lose their physical life .... that great earthly adversity awaits them or spiritual adversity in the kingdom of the beyond if they don't accept your proclamations as credible and adjust themselves to it. And therefore I constantly encourage you, My servants, to inform people of the predictions which I convey to earth through My spirit, because humanity is in great danger if it does not change before the end comes .... I will admonish and warn all people to remember their souls and not to give up the souls' salvation for the sake of earthly goods .... For everything will pass away when the time is fulfilled .... and the soul will only possess what it has acquired in spiritual possessions. You humans still have a short time of grace where you can still acquire spiritual wealth, but the time will soon come to an end ...._>Amen

End of a period of Salvation and start of a new one ....

B.D. 7756 from November 26th 1960, taken from Book No. 81

There will be no spiritual change during this period of Salvation anymore. People have lost faith in Me, and even if My Gospel is spread throughout the world there will only ever be a few who accept it; yet increasingly more will fall way whose belief was just a conventional faith and who only need an incentive in order to cast it completely away when a decision of faith is demanded of them. Only a small flock of people have a living faith, who establish the contact with Me in their hearts .... only a few people associate with Me like children associate with their father, who therefore also always experience My evident help when they encounter difficulties and who thus will also passionately endorse Me because they are inwardly convinced, thus have a living faith. And this number will not get much larger .... The battle of faith, however, which will be waged everywhere and the beginnings of which are already noticeable everywhere, will merely reduce the number of the faithful, for then everyone will be willing to surrender Me for the sake of earthly gain, and they won't muster the courage to fight for Me because they are lacking living faith. And thus the earth will ultimately no longer fulfil its purpose of serving the souls to attain spiritual maturity .... Most people's earthly progress is in vain because it does not lead to the souls' maturity, which is the reason why they live on earth .... Nevertheless, the spiritual beings' development has to continue .... And therefore the earth will have to be restructured so that it will be able to be and remain a place of education for the spirits, as it is intended to be ....

Consequently, this period of Salvation will come to an end and a new era will start. New creations will shelter the spiritual substances whose development was prevented .... which necessitates a dissolution of these creations so that the bound spiritual substances can be set free and placed into new forms again .... And so people, too, ought to take an impending end into account and those who failed on earth will have to be banished into creation again, into the hard matter on the new earth. And if people cherish the illusion that humanity's spiritual attitude might still change on this earth, that they will come to believe in Jesus Christ and His act of Salvation and in this belief live a different way of life with spiritually orientated intentions and aspirations, then it will remain the wishful thinking of a few people which will never materialise. For My adversary is in authority which people themselves had granted him; and his activity will so get out of control that he will have to be bound .... and for that reason alone an end will have to come, so that his activity will be stopped or no-one would be able to become blessed anymore .... And this time has been referred to ever since the beginning of this period of Salvation; and no matter how far away these announcements seem to you humans .... one day even the future will become the present, and that has to be said to you time and again. This is why a spiritual change must come, however, not on this earth anymore but in a world of peace and happiness .... A new developmental era will start with spiritually highly evolved human beings, whom I will remove from this earth due to their loyalty of faith and lead back to the new earth again .... And then a spiritual change will have taken place and people will live in peace and harmony again .... in constant contact with Me, their God and Creator, and the blessed beings in My kingdom. For then love will reign again on Earth, My adversary will no longer be capable of influencing the people on the new earth, for he will be bound for an infinitely long time .... until people themselves loosen his chains and enable him to exert his influences once more. But prior to that there will be a long time of peace and happiness ....

Amen

Not yet formed fallen spirit ....

B.D. 7757 from November 27th 1960, taken from Book No. 81

Countless spiritual substances still dwell in the infinitely far distance which are yet to begin their course of development .... It has descended into the abyss, it is completely hardened substance which My will has not yet grasped and reshaped, because this spiritual substance does not yet reveal the slightest change of will, because its will of defence against Me is so strong that it closes itself tightly together and does not allow itself to be driven apart by My power of love .... And thus it will remain in this hardened state for eternal times until it will partly allow itself to be seized by Me, until it will yield to My illumination of love to such an extent that the spiritual substances will loosen and release themselves from the hardening .... and can then be grasped and transformed into matter of various kinds. But this spiritual substance still needs eternities until it gives up its resistance against Me, for it will start its course of development as hardest matter and already need eternities to dissolve it .... This spiritual substance was the first to follow its lord into the abyss, and in the beginning it stood in brightest light, it stood in brightest realization and also knew the magnitude of its guilt when it turned away from Me .... And its resistance against Me did not diminish and it fell into deepest darkness and resisted even the slightest illumination on My part which would have caused the hardened spiritual substance to split up .... in order to be able to be embraced and enveloped after all .... in order to become matter according to My will. And thus the degree of resistance against Me, the degree of rebellion, was decisive for the length of time when redemption would come to the fallen person .... And if you humans consider that countless beings are still languishing in the deepest abyss but have lost the awareness of their 'I', then you will also be able to imagine that and why eternities still have to pass when My will of love allows creations to arise..., which again and again accept the spiritual being which once has to release itself from its rigidity in order also to be able to start the process of development, which again takes eternities until the being reaches perfection, until it has attained the state again in which it was in the beginning .... And if you think about it you will also understand that ever new periods of development have to follow the past ones, that there can still be no end for My creator's will .... For not one fallen being remains eternally distant from Me, I will not rest until the last fallen being has returned to My father's heart again .... And at the beginning of every redemption period a little life also comes into this hardened substance by it becoming excited when My illumination of love hits it .... Again and again beings detach themselves from each other and allow themselves to be captured. Yet I don't force it to surrender to Me but only keep it bound until its resistance decreases of its own accord .... which I recognize and then also keep corresponding creations ready to receive that spiritual substance. And this will also be an explanation for the many creations which show no changes to your eye .... for the hard rock world whose duration you can hardly calculate .... But one day the time of dissolution will also come for this hard matter, for I know when the upward development can progress further. And My love also applies to this still bound spiritual substance so that it will one day become free and also return to Me ...._>Amen

Jesus' Words on the cross: 'I Am thirsty ....'

B.D. 7758 from November 28th 1960, taken from Book No. 81

I thirst for your love .... and when you remember the Words I spoke on the cross 'I Am thirsty ....' you will know that it was not simply a physical longing but that My soul was thirsting for My living creations' love .... that the 'Deity' in the man Jesus spoke, since now the act had been accomplished when I was waiting for death on the cross .... I thirsted for your love which was to bring you back to Me after I had redeemed the guilt of sin for you. For first you had to revive love in you in order to recognise and acknowledge Me Myself in Jesus Christ and thus knew the reason for the act of Salvation, for only love was able to reveal this knowledge to you, only through love were you able to recognise Me .... Jesus the 'human being' had voiced these Words on the cross but He was already united with Me and thus they were God's Words which arose from the tortured body, and these Words are to be understood as I explained them to you .... that the Deity yearned for the love of Its living creations .... Jesus the human being was not aware of having spoken these Words, and I expressed Myself such that people only understood the earthly meaning of the Words, because they would not have grasped that the Deity had permitted this superhuman suffering which, however, was the atonement for the original sin on account of which I had descended to Earth. The reason for people's immense guilt was due to the fact that they had once rejected My love and had become heartless themselves .... And I longed for the love of these beings which Jesus' crucifixion returned to Me provided the being itself is willing. And precisely this willingness presupposes love .... Once I possessed people's love they also came back to Me of their own free will and were able to do so, because the act of Salvation was accomplished for the whole human race. And if you consider Jesus' Words on the cross in this way, then the love He longed for should impel you to Him, in which case you show your love for Me for which I have yearned since your apostasy from Me .... For 'love' brought you into being, 'love' gave you the test of will because you were intended to become even more than I was able to 'create' for Myself .... because you were meant to become My 'children' .... My love pursued you into the abyss in order to help you come up again, and My love accomplished the act of Salvation for you .... And in return you should only grant Me your love .... you should love Me with such depth of feeling which only a child can feel for its father. When I sacrificed My life on the cross for you, your guilt was atoned for and your return to Me became possible, My sacrifice of love was able to ignite your love in you, you were able to recognise it as such since you were no longer held captive in darkness because I had brought 'light' to you: .... My divine teaching of love, which showed you the path to Me and compliance with which signifies the re-transformation of your nature into love, will subsequently result in your lasting unification with Me and thus also the fulfilment of My yearning for your love ....

Amen

Awakening the divine abilities possible ....

B.D. 7759 from November 29th 1960, taken from Book No. 81

Forces are slumbering in all of you which you only need to awaken. For you must know that all divine attributes are hidden within you and that all divine abilities lie within you, that they are indeed within you but .... are buried by your past apostasy from Me .... but which you must bring about yourselves .... You had such power and strength that truly nothing was impossible for you because My strength constantly flowed through you and this also meant that you were able to create and shape like Me. But you gave all these abilities away .... you closed yourselves to My illumination of love and thus became powerless, you also lost the light so that you no longer knew about your former state of perfection. But now you can awaken the dormant powers within you at any time, you can open yourselves to My illumination of love at any time and thus also change your wrong nature back to your original nature .... You can acquire all divine qualities and abilities again to a great extent if only you strive for this with a firm will and create the prerequisites for it: if you change your nature into love again and become perfect as you were in the beginning .... Then you are truly My images, you have transformed yourselves into gods through love .... And there is nothing you could not accomplish because love is a power to which nothing is impossible .... You are still imperfect as a human being and therefore you are also unaware of the abilities which are hidden within you. Everything that is imperfect is also limited in its activity, barriers are set for it .... The human being is .... because he is still imperfect .... thus weak and incapable, he is defectively formed, he lacks the divine gifts, he is defective in his knowledge, in his ability and also defective in his love .... For imperfection is lack of love .... But as soon as man has love, his state changes; he becomes knowledgeable, he gains strength, and he recognizes himself and everything that is connected with his existence. And now the forces begin to unfold again, which the imperfect human being .... the human being without love .... does not recognize and therefore does not strive for of his own accord. Through love he has entered into union with Me as the eternal love and can now also be illuminated by Me again in all fullness with My strength of love, so that his whole being deifies itself, so that it aligns itself with My fundamental being and then everything is also possible for him, whatever it may be .... If the being already reaches this state as a human being on earth then he can truly work for the blessing of his fellow human beings, every element will obey him, he will work miracles and be able to heal the sick, he will see through everything and uncover his fellow human beings' most secret thoughts .... But he will only ever work for the benefit of his fellow human beings, he will never misuse the strength awakened in him, for then he will work with Me and in My will, because it is My strength which works through him and because he will then have completely subordinated his will to Mine .... But all this can only be achieved by love which turns the human being into the divine being again which he was in the beginning .... which you should all let flare up in you to the highest fervour so that you will become perfect as your father in heaven is perfect ...._>Amen

Matter is great danger to the soul ....

B.D. 7760 from November 30th 1960, taken from Book No. 81

The human being's spiritual development, for the purpose of which he lives on earth, is always endangered when he allows himself to be completely captivated by matter and thus has no connection whatsoever with the spiritual kingdom. Then the soul will be completely dominated by the body, then the human being's thoughts will only be turned towards earth and its goods, then he will not believe in a God and creator either, for he will not allow any thoughts of Him to arise, his soul will be completely attached to matter and will be drawn down into the abyss again. And if it does not come to a better realization by the end of its physical life, then matter will also become its renewed cover when the end of this earth has come. And therefore people should seriously be made aware of the fact that matter does not remain, that it is transient and that the human being gains nothing even if he comes into possession of it, for he has to give everything away when the hour of his death has come .... And many people will also have to surrender their earthly possessions prematurely when the great chaos will come as a result of God's intervention .... the great adversity which will affect humanity through God's will. Then they will realize how transient all earthly things are, and good for those who still gain the right realization, who still try to procure spiritual possessions for the soul before it is too late. As long as the human being lives he can still attain this realization and then help the soul to ascend. But as long as matter still holds him captive the soul achieves no spiritual gain. And that is why earthly possessions are often fatefully taken away from people, material possessions often fall prey to destruction, earthly values are lost or things are taken away from the human being to which his heart is particularly attached .... but these are all only God's help, Who wants to release the soul from earthly burdens which hinder its ascent, and then it only ever depends on the person's attitude towards such strokes of fate as to whether they were also beneficial for his soul. Matter is a great danger for the soul, for it shall become free from it during earthly life .... The human being's will should turn away from the world and its goods and desire spiritual wealth, the human being should think of the soul's fate after his death and help it to higher maturity .... The heart should detach itself from everything the world offers and its desire should be directed towards spiritual goods, then the world will lose its appeal of its own accord and the soul will not have put aside its existence on earth in vain .... And if you therefore lose earthly goods then recognize this as God's help to free your soul from them; be grateful for the help and remember your purpose of earthly life .... For you all know that everything earthly is transient and that your life on earth does not last forever .... Therefore create spiritual goods for yourselves which will follow you into eternity .... Pray voluntarily for what you will lose one day and thereby create wealth for yourselves with which you can work in the kingdom of the beyond .... Then you will live your earthly life consciously and you will not be lost when the end comes for you, when your soul's degree of maturity will be assessed as well as your way of life on this earth ...._>Amen

Urging the spirit spark to the father-spirit ....

B.D. 7761 from December 1st 1960, taken from Book No. 81

The spirit within you constantly urges you to connect with the eternal father-spirit, yet you do not always feel His urging, you do not always pay attention to the expressions He sends to you, you do not always pay attention to what He wants to convey to you. But he is in you, everyone carries the spiritual spark within himself as a part of the father-spirit and is therefore also inseparably connected with the father-spirit. And because this small spiritual spark rests within you, every person can also take the path to Me, Whose share you are, because you are urged from within to seek the bond with Me. But you can also resist this inner urge and remain turned towards My adversary, because then the spirit within you will withdraw, thus it will by no means have a compelling effect on your will. And thus your will alone determines the success or failure of your earthly life. But free will is the sign of divine belonging .... Therefore it must remain with the creature or it would remain eternally imperfect. However, it must be possible for the human being to think and want right and wrong because he is to make a decision in earthly life. And two forces will have an effect on him which therefore try to influence his thinking and wanting. But these two forces are different, they oppose each other .... I and My adversary seek to win the human being's soul, and each power affects the human being differently. My adversary seeks to win the body for himself, thus to determine the soul through the body to its thinking and wanting, whereas I seek to influence the soul through the spirit. And the desires of spirit and body are of a completely different nature. But if the soul allows itself to be determined by the spirit within to want and think, then it will soon belong to Me, for then the thinking and wanting will be right, i.e. in accordance with My will and lead the soul to the light again, to its former perfection .... If, however, the soul gives in to the body's desire My adversary will have won it, for then the will and thoughts will remain turned away from Me, they will completely enter into My adversary's will, and the soul will still remain at a great distance from Me for an infinitely long time. And yet, it also carries the spiritual spark from Me within itself but it denies it every expression, it cannot assert itself, it does not listen to its urging and desire but fulfils the body's every desire. Although this soul is also connected to Me because there is eternally no detachment from Me as the creating power, it feels nothing of it and is therefore in a state of isolation, which is always a state of unhappiness. It then offers Me a resistance which I do not forcibly break and prolongs the state of distance from Me again for an endlessly long time .... Whereas the soul which pays attention to the expression of its spirit always comes closer to Me and its separation from Me is very soon already lifted, because the spiritual spark does not rest until the union with Me is accomplished .... because the spirit in the human being now solely determines the thinking and wanting of the latter and this cannot be other than good and right, for it is I Myself Who now works in you and can also work, because you have given up your former resistance yourselves and I can now let My strength of love radiate into you again unhindered. Thus every person can find Me because he has a guide within himself who takes no other path than the one to Me .... And if he now joins this guide he is also guaranteed to reach Me Myself, he will unite with Me ever more intimately, for I Myself draw him through the spirit which is in you because you are My share ...._>Amen

Strengthening of will and supply of strength through Jesus ....

B.D. 7762 from December 2nd 1960, taken from Book No. 81

I must always remind you to consider that you are too weak on your own to release yourselves from your physical shell for good. First of all, you cannot muster the will to release yourselves from My adversary because he keeps your will in a weakened state and, by yourselves, you lack the strength to turn it to Me Whom you fail to recognise because you are totally unenlightened .... Thus, the will needs to be strengthened first and this can only be done by One: Jesus Christ, the Redeemer of the world .... for through His death on the cross He acquired the blessings of a stronger will for you. As a result of your past apostasy from Me you had completely handed yourselves over to My adversary's control, who would never set you free again had I not, in Jesus Christ, bought you back from him through My act of Salvation. If you therefore don't want him to be entitled to you anymore, you are able to release yourselves from him but you need strength to do so .... First, you need a stronger will and then you also need the supply of strength to put your will into action .... You must turn this will towards Me and subordinate it to Mine which, in turn, means that you must live according to My will. And it is My will that you integrate with the law of divine order, that is, that you live a life of love. However, your state of embodiment as a human being is not a state of strength and light .... You are weak creatures which still live in spiritual darkness, which are unaware of their original state, of their relationship with Me and of the meaning and purpose of their life on earth. You will never be able to arise from of this imperfect state, you will never regain the original state, without My supply of strength which, because of Jesus' act of Salvation, is abundantly at your disposal, because I Myself died for you at the cross in the man Jesus in order to help you remedy your weakness, in order to illuminate for you the path to Me and to guide you across all obstacles, if this is what you want. And in order for you to want this, you need only avail yourselves of the blessings of the act of Salvation .... You need only pray to Me in Jesus for strengthening your will, for all measures which enable your ascent .... and I will grant your prayer .... Every prayer you send to Jesus Christ for your salvation of soul will be granted, and no person can go astray who, with faith in the act of Salvation, entrusts himself to Him, appeals to Him for forgiveness of his sin and for support to reach the goal, the release from his material shell, which is the result of his past apostasy from Me .... And every such prayer will be granted, for you acknowledge Me Myself again in Jesus Christ, Whom you once refused to acknowledge and thereby plunged into the abyss .... But you will not accomplish this work of redemption yourselves, you will never have the strength to detach yourselves from the adversary, you will forever remain in his power if you are not helped by the One Who shed His blood for you .... if you don't take the path to Him and thus also to Me, Who will truly release you from His control ....

Amen

God's power mediation for redemption work ....

B.D. 7763 from December 3rd 1960, taken from Book No. 81

Everything is possible for you if only you trust My strength, if only you use it to work for Me and My kingdom .... And you need never fear that I will let you lack strength if you want to use it for the salvation of your soul or for the redemption of the souls of your fellow human beings, the souls in the kingdom of the beyond. This work of redemption is My will and so extremely necessary in the last days before the end that I will truly bless everyone who makes it his business to do this will of Mine. And you will feel in your heart what you should do if you entrust yourselves to Me in thought or heartfelt prayer and ask Me for advice .... if you ask Me for guidance on all your paths. Whatever you do in association with Me will not be unsuccessful either, you will succeed even if you cannot see success straight away, but it is a blessed activity .... For I cannot grant people salvation against their will, and therefore you must be active as mediators. You must lovingly take care of those who are in spiritual hardship, and for the sake of your love I can now help all of them. I will impart strength to them to change their will as well as their nature, and success will not fail to come. Just don't leave Me out of your thoughts .... Know that I am the source of strength Who constantly wants to provide you with strength but that you have to request the strength yourselves .... And if I now give you the assurance that I want to provide you with unlimited strength, then accept this offer of Mine and you will truly no longer need to feel weak or unable to do the work for Me and My kingdom. And everything you need for this work will be supplied to you, for I am the lord, as Whose servants you offered yourselves, and the lord truly also takes over all their needs, and He also provides His servants abundantly, be it with earthly or spiritual goods .... they will never be in want of them. And you will always be guided to where you are needed, where you are to spread My seed, where you are to make human hearts receptive for My word, which helps to redeem the still immature spirit. For you walk all your paths under My guidance if you have entrusted yourselves to Me as your lord, for Whom you want to faithfully work the vineyard. For I know which souls need My help, I know which people accept My word when I offer it to them through you. And as long as I need your services you will also receive the strength from Me to do so, and you will not need to worry that you will not be able to fulfil your ministry .... For it is the time of the end and people do not have much time left. Therefore I also need you so that the time will be used well, so that you will help with the work of salvation, which will always be blessed by Me if it is your sincere will to serve Me ...._>Amen

Jesus' last Words on the cross ....

B.D. 7764 from December 5th 1960, taken from Book No. 81

I always want to give to you what you desire. You only need to take notice of your inner voice and it will instruct you truthfully, because I want you to live in truth and gain a clear understanding: My crucifixion has brought salvation to you humans, it has redeemed your past guilt of sin .... As the human being Jesus I took extreme pain upon Myself, and a most bitter death was My fate .... However, since I was unable to suffer as 'God' I took abode in a human shell which was capable of suffering and which also mustered the will to suffer on behalf of His fellow human beings in order to satisfy My justice, in order to open up the path to Me for His fallen brothers. Yet His will was free .... He was not impelled by the Deity within Him to accomplish the sacrifice He wanted to make for Me .... although love .... Which was Myself .... was the cause for which He mustered this will .... Yet I Myself never coerce the will of a human being and neither does My love. However, anyone who has love can't help himself but emanate it. And thus, the human being Jesus, too, radiated love and thereby only wanted to please humanity. Hence He only ever wanted what would help people to become blissfully happy. The will of the human being Jesus was free .... yet He had completely subordinated Himself to Me and My will. Consequently, His will could not be different to Mine. For the love in Him was so powerful that it had merged with the Eternal Love, with Myself .... Thus I Myself was in Him, and I Myself achieved in Him the act of Salvation ....

And yet, the human being Jesus had to take the final decision Himself when He undertook the most difficult journey .... the path to the cross. And even though I, the Eternal Love, was in Him, My divine Spirit withdrew, that is, Love .... the spirit .... no longer urged Him into action; it kept quiet and apparently left the human being Jesus to struggle on His own .... And this was the most difficult of all, the fact that the man Jesus felt alone in His suffering and nevertheless walked the path until the end .... He was not alone, for I would never have been able to separate Myself from Him again, Who had become one with Me .... But I no longer expressed Myself, because the atonement of the original sin necessitated an extreme amount of human suffering and torment which the human being Jesus had readily taken upon Himself, and therefore the sacrifice of atonement has been the work of the most merciful love that was ever accomplished on earth. And these pains lasted until His death on the cross and made Him proclaim 'My God, my God, why have You forsaken me ....' I was in Him but I did not speak, yet it was only the body which suffered until His soul recognised Me again, when He called 'It is finished ....' and 'Father, into Your hands I commit My Spirit ....'

The body suffered until the end and I had to withdraw Myself during these hours or His already spiritualised soul would have rendered the body insensitive to pain, because My spirit is unable to suffer. And the human being Jesus had already attained the spiritualisation of soul and body as a result of His way of life on earth .... But the purpose and objective of His earthly progress was the redemption of the guilt of sin, which was only possible by way of an excessive extent of suffering and pain .... Hence the 'Deity' withdrew and left the 'human being' Jesus to His tormentors, who truly carried out the most shameful work on behalf of My adversary, because Jesus Himself wanted it this way .... For His soul had offered of its own accord to descend to earth in order to make the sacrifice of atonement for His fallen brothers; it had offered to take on flesh in order to accept these said immeasurable pains and torments because only a human being was capable of suffering. And I accepted the sacrifice since it was, after all, made by 'love' .... which may never be rejected. And 'love' stayed in Him until His death, even if It no longer allowed It's strength to take effect .... Thus I Myself must have been in Him too, even if I remained silent at the end so that the act of Salvation could find its culmination: that a human being allowed Himself to be crucified for His fellow human beings .... that He truly made a sacrifice which I accepted as an act of atonement for the whole human race .... No 'divine strength' alleviated the sacrifice for Him, for 'Love' Itself remained quiet, although it had taken complete possession of the human being Jesus ....

And this, too, is a mystery you humans are as yet unable to grasp .... The man Jesus had to taste the greatest suffering: to feel alone and abandoned. And precisely this suffering redeemed the sin which every being had burdened itself with when it left Me, Who had given them all My love, which they rejected. The human being Jesus had to experience this suffering, and therefore He spoke the words 'My God, my God, why have You forsaken me ....' Yet you humans will never be able to understand the magnitude of the act of Salvation as long as you live on earth. Nevertheless, one day it will strike you with a sudden, blinding realisation and you will praise and worship Me without end .... For this act of Salvation applied to all of you, you all may participate in the blessings of the act of Salvation, and as a result of the act of Salvation the path was opened for all of you to return to Me ....

Amen

Evaluation of the divine word ....

B.D. 7765 from December 6th 1960, taken from Book No. 81

What you receive from above as My word can only be properly assessed by those people who were already able to be enlightened by their spirit in their thinking .... They will recognize that it is knowledge which truly outshines earthly wisdom, that it cannot be compared to intellectual knowledge, that it flows from the original source of light and truth and can never be replaced by earthly knowledge. It requires an awakened spirit in order to be able to form an opinion about it, because it is completely different areas into which the human being is allowed to gain insight than the areas which the intellectual human being touches, which he seeks to explore. To the intellectual person such knowledge also appears unnecessary and worthless because it is unprovable .... And yet, it is the most important thing, it is the most precious asset a person can acquire on earth, for it is everlasting and follows the person into eternity .... And anyone who calls this knowledge his own will truly have soon reached his aim of earthly life, he will not have lived in vain on earth, for in order to be able to receive such knowledge he must .... also have reached a certain degree of maturity of the soul; he must have kindled love within himself, which is the purpose and aim of earthly life. It is the word from above which My love sends to you, a light .... The human being no longer walks along in spiritual darkness, he has already regained a certain degree of realization which was once his own, and now he can constantly increase this degree of realization, for he is impelled by his spirit within himself to establish an ever more intimate bond with Me which also inevitably leads to an ever higher degree of maturity. It is 'wisdom' which is imparted to you from above and for the recognition of which the human being must stand in love, otherwise the spirit in him will not awaken which gives him the understanding for the 'wisdoms', which are therefore of divine origin. For this reason every person can consider himself fortunate who accepts My word within himself, who feels addressed by it, who recognizes the father's voice and therefore now also His will and follows it .... For My spirit is already working in him, otherwise he would lack all understanding and reject My word. But I know who is open to it, who desires wisdom from above, who is so intimately united with Me that I Myself can address him through My word which is conveyed to him through My messengers. And it will become increasingly brighter in them because I know what they desire to know and where they can be given information .... For I know the hearts of My own, and I truly feed and water all who hunger and thirst and let themselves be satisfied by Me .... And their souls will feel the benefit when a light shines to them from above, when they come to realization .... when the soul now understands My rule and activity, which only ever applies to the perfection of My children who have to pass their last test of will in earthly life. And thus I want to make this understandable to them so that they will know their task on earth and voluntarily strive towards Me .... supported by My strength and grace, which they receive with every word they listen to, which sounds to them from above and which they can only hear when the spirit has awakened to life .... But then they will recognize My greater than great love, and they will now also return love to Me and be Mine for all eternity ...._>Amen

Pointing the way to the father ....

B.D. 7766 from December 8th 1960, taken from Book No. 81

Let yourselves be led to Me, all you who are addressed by My messengers who bring you My word .... For My address is meant for all of you who are still far away from Me. I love all of you and don't want to let you get lost, all of you shall experience My love so that you will take the path to Me, for one day you will irrevocably have to return to Me from Whom you once came forth. Yet for the most part you don't know your origin and your aim .... you know nothing of your earthly task, and you know even less why you walk the earth .... You do not know that you once sinned and fell away from Me and that you cannot remain far away from Me if you want to become blessed .... Yet you know that you are wretched creatures, for you cannot defend yourselves against all kinds of strokes of fate, you cannot put a stop to suffering and illness when they come upon you, nor do you have the strength to always carry out what you want .... You are flawed creatures which, however, you were not in the beginning. And because I love you I try to impart the knowledge of everything to you, for I want you to voluntarily take the path to Me again, just as you once voluntarily distanced yourselves from Me. And I will show you the path, I will announce My will to you through My messengers .... And therefore you shall listen to My messengers, you shall receive My word from them, you shall put it into action. And then you will also experience the effect of My word, for My word teaches you love .... and anyone who develops love within himself, who lives in love, will experience that My word is truth and that it leads to Me. I only want to win you back, for you are and remain Mine, even if you voluntarily join another lord .... He, too, is entitled to you because you followed him voluntarily. But nevertheless you are My share, for you emerged from My strength and therefore I will not abandon you forever. I could certainly achieve through My might that you return to Me, yet this would not be enough for Me because My love created you and love will never force what opposes it .... Yet I will keep courting your love until you voluntarily give it to Me .... But then you will be blessed .... and I only want your bliss .... This is why I have redeemed the great sin of your former apostasy from Me, this is why I have accomplished the work of redemption for you .... And it only requires your will to become free from your former lord and to belong to Me. And through the graces of the act of salvation you will also have the strength to set yourselves free .... You will return to Me again of your own free will. Again and again I send you My messengers who bring you My word, who convey this knowledge to you, who inform you of the divine redeemer Jesus Christ, and again and again you are directed to Him that you should approach Him for forgiveness of your sins and that you thereby confess your faith in Him and at the same time also testify to the acknowledgement of Me .... And then you have taken the path which leads to Me. Therefore listen to My messengers, open the door of your heart to them so that I Myself can enter when I follow them and desire to be accepted by you. Let Me address you Myself and you will then willingly follow Me on the path to the height .... Then you will long for unification with Me yourselves, because then you will also have recognized Me as your father Who speaks to His children with love in order to win them over for Himself forever ...._>Amen

Fulfilment of divine promises .... Truth ....

B.D. 7767 from December 9th 1960, taken from Book No. 81

You are guided into truth by My spirit .... Since I spoke these Words to you humans Myself it must therefore be possible for you to live in truth and thus you cannot say: No one knows what and where the truth is .... You just have to seriously think about the problem of how you can arrive at the truth. A truth exists which is irrefutable, which comes forth from Me as the 'Eternal Truth Itself' and which will never change. And you have to approach this primary source of truth yourselves by wanting to get hold of the truth from its origin .... from Me Myself .... I know everything, I know all correlations, nothing is concealed from Me, and I also want you, as My living creations, to know everything .... I want you to become as illuminated as I Am .... I want you to know where you came from and the goal you ought to reach. Your fellow human beings, however, are unable to inform you of this unless they have received this knowledge from Me.

However, many people claim to be knowledgeable and also try to convince their fellow human beings of what they have acquired through intellectual study. But their intellectual conclusions do not correspond to the truth as long as they have not approached Me directly for enlightenment of their thoughts .... as long as they have only applied their intellect .... And then the justifiable objection can be raised: No human being knows what and where the truth is .... But God knows and therefore also the person to whom God imparts the truth .... And I have told you that My spirit will guide you into truth, and My Word is and will remain truth ....

But far too little attention is paid to this Word of Mine, the great promise I thereby gave to humanity is not being recognised .... For they have no interest whatsoever to be instructed in the 'truth' but unreservedly accept everything as truth that is presented to them by their fellow human beings, or they reject all credibility of it. And that signifies a major spiritual decline. For every person must possess spiritual knowledge, and therefore everyone should want to have the right spiritual knowledge. This determination alone will take him closer to the truth, for I will not let a person live in darkness if he desires to become enlightened .... I will intervene Myself and direct his thoughts such that he will start to search and take the path to the right source .... I Myself will offer the truth to him, if not directly then through My messengers, which he then will also recognise as My messengers, for I only require the desire for truth in order to be able to distribute it, because I want people to live in the truth, because I want them to be instructed through My spirit, if only they are of good will. But then a person will no longer doubt the truth of what is imparted to him by My spirit, and he will also remember My Words 'But the comforter, which is the holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you ....'

Hence you also have a criterion insofar as that you will hear the same Words from Me through the spirit which I spoke to people when I lived on earth .... And thereby you can recognise who speaks to you and then also believe with conviction that it is I Myself Who makes His promise come true, Who instructs you through His spirit .... And it will remind you of many a Word I spoke to people Myself. And then you should also seriously consider every one of My Words because they are God's Words which will never pass away, even if heaven and earth shall pass away .... And if you thus believe these Words of Mine unreservedly then you will penetrate the truth ever deeper, for then you will live accordingly, and you will experience the effect that you are not just hearers but doers of My Word .... You will experience the effect of love which is preached to you through My Word time after time and which will grant you enlightenment, so that you will grow in realisation, so that you will attain the knowledge again which you had lost .... so that you will completely live in truth again because you have entered into association with the Eternal Truth Itself .... Which guided you into the right knowledge, as I promised you ....

Amen

To "His own" God promises His protection ....

B.D. 7768 from December 10th 1960, taken from Book No. 81

Only those who are mine will live to see the end .... But who belong to My own? Those who have a living faith and thus belong to My church, which I Myself founded on earth .... who pray to Me in spirit and in truth, Whom they have recognized in Jesus Christ, the son of God and redeemer of the world .... and who can only recognize Me and believe in Me because they live a life of love .... These, therefore, will earnestly desire Me, I will always be the content of their thoughts, they will hand themselves over to Me, they will establish the relationship of children to the father and thus want to belong to Me and thus be counted amongst 'My own' who will be spared in the end, who will survive the end and continue to live a life of light and bliss on the new earth. It will only be a small flock, yet this flock will emerge from all organisations, for each one teaches love for Me and for their neighbour, and all those who now accept this divine teaching of love and live it out will be counted as belonging to My church, because they attain a living faith through love. And these will also stand firm in the last battle on this earth when it is necessary to confess Me and My name before the world. For living faith and love also earn them knowledge according to which they persevere .... For then they will expect My coming, which I have announced when the adversity seems to become unbearable. Then I will stand by My own and they will be and remain victorious in this battle. And anyone who cannot muster the strength to do so, who threatens to falter, I will still call him away beforehand so that he will not fall into My adversary's hands. But that I will stand by My own is certain .... And therefore you should all make an effort to become and remain Mine; you should have the firm will to reach your aim on earth, and you should constantly appeal to Me for strength and grace, because through such prayer you acknowledge Me Myself, Whom you once denied. Therefore this test of faith will be put to you again and you can also pass it if you make yourselves My own, for then you will also receive the strength to survive every battle. I have promised My protection to My own, and thus you need only ever make an effort to join Me, to seek close contact with Me, to snuggle up to the father like children and appeal to Him that He may also take care of you as a father when you are in danger. And truly, I will grant you this request, I will be concerned for you and watch over your every step so that you don't go astray .... For once I have listened to you through your will I will never let you go. For every person who has found his way to Me has passed the test of will, and I promise him a life of light and bliss, be it on earth or also in the spiritual kingdom .... And thus My own will also experience the end and be transferred by Me into the paradise of the new earth, for a new generation shall emanate from them again which is so united with Me in love that I Myself can dwell in the midst of people, that they are in contact with the kingdom of light and thus a new era begins which shall bring mature souls back to Me again as true children .... For the time is fulfilled and it will come as it has been proclaimed long before: A new heaven and a new earth will arise and My own will live a blissful life as I have promised them ...._>Amen

Why the lord descended to earth ....

B.D. 7769 from December 11th 1960, taken from Book No. 81

Just as it was at the time of My life on earth, so it is today: people have no living faith .... They lead a pseudo-christianity today, just as they only fulfilled their duties in a pseudo-christian way back then, but their faith in Me was not a living faith .... And therefore the connection to their God and creator was not deep enough for Me to give them proof of My love and omnipotence in order to revive their faith. For they lacked love, and only love would have let them recognize their God and creator, love would have revived their faith .... But love had grown cold, just as it has grown cold amongst people now. For this reason I descended to earth in order to exemplify love to them, in order to bring them My divine teaching of love and to explain to them the purpose of their earthly change. I descended to earth in order to kindle a light for people, for there was dense darkness .... People were blind in spirit and saw nothing because their eyes were closed as a result of their lack of love. And therefore the light itself descended to earth .... People were in great distress and those of good will called for a saviour Who should deliver them from this adversity. And for their sake I also came to earth. I started My earthly life as a baby .... because the great adversity could only be remedied by an extraordinary work of love .... Where love had been completely lost My adversary had power over people, and My adversary truly kept them bound so that people were unable to detach themselves from him. And that this was possible was the result of humanity's sin, that they once self-willedly gave up their freedom and followed the one who chained them .... They had become his followers in free will, and he now took advantage of his dominion and struck them with darkness and powerlessness .... He kept them separated from Me, Who truly would have helped them if only they had enabled Me to shine upon them with strength and light .... But they lacked the love which is light and strength. And in order to break his power I Myself accomplished a work of love which had such an effect that every person could now acquire strength and light who acknowledged this work of Mine and only desired the blessings now available to him .... People lacked love, thus I had to compensate for the measure of love which secured strength and light again for people who had the will to attain the light. And I offered this sacrifice of love, I came to earth as saviour in deepest adversity .... I taught them love and led them to faith through My teaching of love. And those who were of good will recognized Me and joined Me. They were willing and able to love and I was therefore able to initiate them into My teaching of love, I was able to train them and then send them out into the world in order to proclaim My gospel to all peoples of the earth. And they informed people of My extraordinary work of love, of My sacrificial death on the cross, they taught them love and thus spread the light which I had kindled with My descent onto this earth. And thus I send My disciples out into the world again to teach people the doctrine of love, and anyone who follows them will also be able to believe in Me, Who sent My only begotten son to earth in order to redeem people .... For I Myself was the one Who accomplished the work of love on earth in the man Jesus, because I took pity on humanity, which in its adversity cried out for a saviour .... I alone knew what their adversity consisted of and therefore I alone knew how I could help them .... Love Itself came to earth and sought entrance into human hearts .... and whoever grants entrance to the eternal love Itself will also be led out of all adversity, for he will have living faith, he will come to Me Myself and I will not let his faith be put to shame ...._>Amen

Cause and origin of creation ....

B.D. 7770 from December 12th 1960, taken from Book No. 81

Your human existence is the result of your earlier apostasy from Me in the spiritual kingdom. It has been explained to you many times already that you yourselves were the cause of the emergence of the earthly creation through which you, as creation’s crowning glory, shall once again achieve your original state which you once had voluntarily surrendered. I brought every kind of earthly creation into existence because of you, for I searched for and found a way for you to return to Me, and this way is the progress through the earthly-material works of creation. The last stage of this earthly progress is your human life .... And now you have to start your voluntary return to Me again, since you once parted from Me voluntarily. Because you are divine beings by origin who, as a sign of their divinity, possess free will. Your life as a human being gives you the opportunity to prove your divinity .... it gives you the opportunity to direct your free will towards Me and thus also to unite with Me again .... Then the earthly creations have served their purpose, they succeeded in achieving the work of return in accordance with My plan of eternity. And thus you have to view all creations as the result of your transgression against Me but also as your means of learning to acknowledge Me again .... you have to recognise creation as an expression of My love for you which I did not want to lose. You should know that My supreme wisdom recognised ‘creation’ as the most reliable means of winning you back .... And one day you will be able to see the progress you made through the creations for yourselves and be tremendously grateful for the mercy My infinite love bestowed unto the souls which otherwise would be lost .... Then the creation will no longer be a constraint for you, rather it will be such immense proof of My love that you yourselves will want to take part in the work of creating in order to give the spirits even more opportunities to return to Me for good ....

Just as love motivated Me to create, so will love not let you rest either, and then you will use the strength, which flows from Me to you, in accordance with My will: you will create and design for your own blissfulness .... But this requires a certain degree of maturity which you can acquire during your earthly life already if you use your free will correctly and direct it towards Me .... Then your soul will return to the original source of light and strength from whence it once originated, and then it may also receive light and strength in abundance, then it will be able to create and work with Me and be happy. And thus, on the one hand the works of creation are a constraint for the immature spirit, but on the other hand they are an opportunity for the free spirits to work lovingly and help the unredeemed souls .... On the one hand they are judged spirits themselves, and on the other hand they bring freedom to the spirits because all creations have to comply with their instructions to serve, thereby enabling the constrained spirit within to achieve freedom .... The redeemed spirit of light knows this and in its love is constantly active by forming new creations in accordance with My will, by taking part in creating, because it knows My eternal plan of Salvation and wants to help with the work of returning all spirit essence to Me. Hence the creation may well be considered My adversary’s realm because it contains the unredeemed spirit .... however, he himself cannot influence this spirit during the time of its constraint .... while the world of light protects this spirit and time and again can help it to become free.

Yet the human being has to fear his influence again. But he need only use his will correctly, he need only direct it towards Me and I will take care of him and truly release him from the hands of My adversary. However, he has to pass this test of will himself .... neither I nor My adversary will force his will in either direction, he has to prove his ‘divinity’ himself by asking for the light, from whence he once originated ....

Amen

"You must all be taught by God .... "

B.D. 7771 from December 13th 1960, taken from Book No. 81

What happened at the time of My life on earth also happens today insofar as I teach you again as I once taught My disciples .... You are therefore taught by 'God Himself' .... And so you must also be instructed in the truth, because God is the eternal truth .... People did not recognize Me when I dwelled amongst them and brought them My teaching of love, when I introduced them to a knowledge which only I Myself could bring to them .... But those who were in love also believed what I imparted to them; they soon recognized that they were not human words but God's words, and therefore they also accepted My teachings .... And thus people today are also addressed by Me, and those who live in love recognize the father's voice, the voice of their God and creator of eternity, and they also accept My teachings .... And again, it is My divine commandments of love which I place as a priority for you humans, because you only recognize Me correctly when you have awakened the spirit within yourselves through love. For the spirit within you is My share, it is also the one who teaches, so that you, too, can say: You are taught by God .... I no longer physically dwell on earth as I did then, but nevertheless I am with you as I promised: “Until the end of the world ...." and when I speak to you through the spirit, I thereby prove My presence to you, and you can .... just as My disciples did at that time .... recognize that your God and creator, your father, speaks to you. But you must live in love, because without love the spirit in you can never awaken to life, because without love it cannot express itself and you will feel nothing of the 'presence of God'. But as soon as I can speak to you I will also always place love as the most important thing, I will repeatedly emphasize My commandments of love, I will admonish people to love and hold the greatest work of love before their eyes: My sacrificial death on the cross, which only love could accomplish and with which I crowned My life on earth as a human being, so that you were redeemed from sin and death. And thus My word today will also repeatedly refer to Jesus Christ's act of salvation, for you humans must know that My love has redeemed the guilt of sin for you and that you can only become blissfully happy if you acknowledge My act of salvation, if you acknowledge Me Myself in Jesus Christ and appeal for forgiveness of your guilt of sin. And therefore you humans must also know about the reason for this act of salvation, about your past great guilt and about My greater than great love .... And this knowledge is conveyed to you through My word, and you will be taught by Me Myself, just as I once taught My disciples who were to experience the act of salvation and then testify to it .... And you, too, who hear My word, you shall proclaim to those who are without knowledge or without faith in Jesus Christ, the divine redeemer .... For all people shall learn why I lived on earth; all people shall learn that they must not reject Jesus Christ, because then they would also reject Me Myself and eternally no longer be able to attain life .... They must find their way to Me one day, for this is why I died on the cross, so that their guilt is forgiven .... And they themselves must want and take the path to the cross, to Me in Jesus Christ .... They must live in love so that they learn to believe and then also allow themselves to be grasped by eternal love .... And I will never leave people to their own devices, for I have given you the promise to remain with you until the end of the world .... And thus I will also address you and teach you as I taught My disciples when I walked the earth ...._>Amen

Admonition to constant connection with God ....

B.D. 7772 from December 14th 1960, taken from Book No. 81

So first of all strive to supply your soul with the right nourishment so that it does not need to starve while the body is abundantly provided for. Therefore strive so that I Myself can give it the food, so that I can water it with the water of life. And know that you don't have much time left but that you can still provide your soul with much nourishment if only you unite with Me daily and ask Me to take care of you in earthly and spiritual adversity .... You should only find the path to Me and then you can also be certain that I will not leave you, no matter what may come .... And a time will come upon you when you will need much strength and can receive it daily if you make sure that I Myself feed and water your souls .... if you let Me speak to you, that I distribute the bread of heaven to you and you now become strong in spirit .... I can only speak to you if you unite with Me, but then I can also send you strength and you will let everything come to you without fear and anxiety and only ever trust in Me. Again and again I say to you: Maintain the connection with Me, don't detach yourselves from Me, always let Me be the content of your thoughts .... And you will truly feel the blessing of it, nothing will particularly affect you which could weaken you, for you possess the strength from Me which lets you endure and overcome everything. But if you let your soul live in want, if you only pay attention to the body's desire, you will soon become weak and anxious, then your body will also have to endure all adversity which affects you. The soul needs nourishment, it shall still mature in the short time of earthly life, and it can also do so if I Myself can administer the nourishment to it, if you come to Me yourselves and appeal to Me for food and drink .... if again and again you desire to hear My word and now truly provide the soul with the right nourishment. For I keep telling you again and again: You don't have much time left .... The end is coming ever closer, no matter how improbable it may seem to you .... The signs are so obvious if only you look at the spiritual low of people who live unbelievingly and completely earthly minded and don't think of their souls because they don't believe in the soul's continuation of life after death .... These people are in the majority, because even people who want to be 'christians' do not have this belief and therefore do not care for their souls. And this spiritual low also irrevocably entails the end of the earth where a separation of spirits will now take place .... And therefore I admonish you again and again to make good use of the short time you humans still have until the end .... And 'to make good use of it' means to give the soul what it needs to mature: food and drink, the nourishment which I Myself offer it through My word .... ‘To make use of it' means that you humans immerse yourselves in My word, that you live according to this word on earth, that you fulfil My will, which is made known to you through My word .... And truly, you will not need to fear the end, you will come to life which you will never lose again for ever ...._>Amen

Jesus Christ as cross-bearer .... purification ....

B.D. 7773 from December 15th 1960, taken from Book No. 81

You have to go through suffering and adversity, but it will only be a blessing for you. But One will help you carry the cross if it seems too heavy, and you should entrust yourselves to this One in every adversity. Jesus Christ is and remains the bearer of the cross .... He, Who has gone the way to the cross .... He, Who Himself loaded the cross on His shoulders, He carried it for you, for your sins, which burdened Him so heavily that He broke down .... For with the cross He bore on His shoulders the burden of sin of all mankind. It was His immeasurable love that had mercy on people, so that He suffered and died for them on the cross .... And this love is always and forever valid for you, and therefore it will also help you carry your cross if you approach Him with faithful trust that He will help you in every adversity of body and soul. And therefore you need not fear any adversity or suffering .... You should certainly take up your cross and bear it patiently, but Jesus, the bearer of the cross, will always walk beside you if only you think of Him .... And He will help you carry the burden so that it will always be bearable for you. But don't forget that it is for your salvation if you go through hardship and suffering .... don't forget that you repel many drosses which still prevent your soul from being permeated by light, and that one day you will also be grateful for the suffering if it has contributed to the purification of the soul and you can be permeated by the divine light of love. And therefore only ask for strength to bear your cross and remember Him Who preceded you on the path of the cross, Who called upon you to follow Him. His words were: "Take up your cross and follow Me ...." He knew that it would only bring salvation to your soul if you heeded His words and followed the divine bearer of the cross .... But He also knew that you are often weak and despondent. And therefore He will always walk beside you and take your cross from you when it is necessary .... And this certainty shall strengthen you when you have to go through hardship and suffering, for they are only a means to help you attain maturity of soul while still on earth, for which you will one day be grateful when you discard the earthly body and can enter the kingdom of the beyond. The father's love applies to His children at all times, and the father's love has also determined every person's fate such that it serves his soul for the best. Therefore surrender to this fate, surrender to the father's will and carry your small cross, but always remember Him Who walked the path to the cross for you because He wanted to redeem you from all guilt ...._>Amen

"Many are called, few only are chosen ...."

B.D. 7774 from December 16th 1960, taken from Book No. 81

Many are called, only a few are chosen .... These words are only intended to make you realize that I set certain requirements in order to be able to choose you for a mission, but that you could fulfil all these requirements if this were your earnest will .... I certainly don't exclude any person if he is willing to serve Me; I accept everyone, for you are all called to beatitude, and thus you are also all called to take the path which leads to beatitude. But now it depends on you yourselves in which state you place yourselves, whether and how you prepare yourselves in order to also be suitable servants for Me, whom I can then use where it is necessary in order to carry out successful redemptive work .... You must have attained a certain degree of maturity, you must prepare yourselves such that I can 'choose' you for the mission for which I need you .... For such a mission first requires a constant bond with Me so that I can inform you of My will, so that I can assign you the work you should do. And this constant bond can only be established through constant activity in love .... for “he who abides in love abides in Me and I in him ...." And this love must result in your spirit being awakened, which in turn means that the spiritual spark in you unites with the eternal father-spirit and that it can now instruct you .... that it ignites the light of realization in you and that you will then also clearly and distinctly recognize My will, which you will then always be willing to carry out. Then I can give you a mission according to your ability to hear Me Myself through the voice of the spirit. And therefore those missions will also be of different kinds, because every person can awaken the abilities slumbering in him and thus there is a difference in these abilities, just as the degree of maturity of those who want to serve Me is different. And understandably I now also choose people for special missions who have already developed special abilities within themselves which, however, do not depend on their physical condition but on their spiritual maturity .... Many are called, only a few are chosen .... This is why many people can also have the same will to be addressed by Me, but not all can receive the same kind of address because the spirit in them has not yet penetrated so far and because I cannot distribute the same spiritual knowledge to those whose degree of maturity does not yet allow for penetration into the deepest knowledge. Yet I alone can judge this, and I will never disappoint My servants who offer themselves to Me for vineyard work .... I will distribute to all and place them in the place where their work is needed, for all people are also different in their desire and their receptivity .... and they will also be considered accordingly. For this reason you should all feel 'called' and diligently strive for Me to 'choose' you, but you should also know that you then also have to fulfil the demands I place on you, for as soon as I take care of you with a mission it also signifies a task for you which you should faithfully fulfil if you want to prove yourselves worthy of Me making use of your services. And again, such a mission also obliges you .... but you will accomplish blessed work if only you have the will to serve Me, if you always eagerly endeavour to be active for Me and My kingdom and to proclaim My name throughout the world ...._>Amen

Love is the law of eternal order ....

B.D. 7775 from December 17th 1960, taken from Book No. 81

You all have to submit yourselves to the law of eternal order if you want to reach your aim on earth, to become perfect as your father in heaven is perfect. And this law of order requires nothing more of you than that you live in love, that you shape your being into love again as it was in the beginning. Everything that violates love also violates My law of order, which only ever has love as its foundation because it was given by Me Myself as the eternal love. When love was eliminated the being also stepped out of order .... When the being rejected My illumination of love it stepped out of My flow of love and its whole state changed into disorder .... it contradicted the being I had made it out to be; it turned in on itself, it had overturned the order, and therefore it had become sinful .... for sin is everything that is directed against love. And since I Myself am love, the being therefore rebelled against Me Myself and became sinful. Yet it can enter the state of order at any time, it can completely submit itself to My will at any time, and then it also completely inserts itself into My divine order again .... My will, however, is that you humans ignite love in yourselves again, that you accept your original nature once more, that all divine characteristics revive in you which are unthinkable outside of My eternal order. You had reversed the divine in you in free will, you had overturned the order in which I placed all My created beings out of Me. And this means that you voluntarily gave up love, that you became loveless beings and thereby sinned against Me, Who is love. Your earthly life now constantly gives you the opportunity for your transformation into love, and you can insert yourselves into the law of order at any time if only you work in love. Then you will unite with Me again, for I am with you in every work of love, and where I am there also has to be order; if you let Me Myself be present with you, you also have to be in order .... because I can only dwell where there is love .... and where there is love the divine order is also observed. And then you will be again what you were from the beginning: divine beings full of light and strength, for everything divine is perfect, and everything divine has aligned itself with the father's nature, you have become perfect again, just as your father in heaven is perfect; you have returned to Him voluntarily, you have become My children, as was My aim from the beginning, who now create and work with Me and are eternally blissful ...._>Amen

Source of life ....

B.D. 7776 from December 19th 1960, taken from Book No. 81

An inexhaustible source has been made accessible to you, and you no longer need to suffer hardship because you may accept food and drink at any time .... because you can always fetch strength from the source for your pilgrimage on this earth. And thus again and again you receive loving words from your father, I always speak to My children when they want to hear Me .... And thus you receive the most delicious gift which your father in heaven has in store for His children. Therefore you need never be despondent, you can let go of all fear, you can always know that you are protected in My presence, you need only reach for My hand and it will never let go of you, because the father dearly loves His children and wants to guide them into eternal life. So you know that you are not alone, that you leave yourselves to .... you know that I am with you, and you have the proof of this, for you hear My voice, or even what you lack I impart to you: light and strength, food and drink for your soul, for you need only bow down and draw from the spring, you need only drink from the water of life and eat from the bread of heaven .... And you will be able to continue your pilgrimage strengthened. I Myself will guide you up to the heights where a life of bliss awaits you, where all adversity will come to an end, where you will be blissfully happy because you are close to Me .... Don't let yourselves be weighed down by earthly worries and hardships, for you possess a precious possession, you possess My word, you are directly addressed by Me and you cannot measure the amount of grace that flows to you as a result .... Only you must also immerse yourselves in My word .... you must want to impart food and drink to your soul and therefore let yourselves be addressed by Me in the will to refresh and strengthen yourselves at My source. Spiritual food will truly give you more than earthly food can, even if you don't feel it yourselves, but the soul receives immeasurable strength through it, and it will also strengthen the body if it is willing to take the path to the source of life .... if the body does not resist as soon as the soul is offered food and drink. And know that I know all your hardship and suffering but that I cannot spare you inner struggles for the sake of your soul but which you will certainly also overcome with My help and My strength. You cannot value highly enough that My fatherly love has opened up this spring for you, for My strength flows directly to you .... You are at the spring and can receive the water of life in its clarity and freshness, which must always have a beneficial effect on you. And therefore often go to this spring and refresh yourselves .... And your earthly walk will also be easier for you, for you will no longer walk an earthly path alone, because I must be present to you when I speak to you, and I speak to you when you merely desire to hear Me .... when you seek out the spring which I have opened up for you. all My children shall gather at the source of life, all My children shall desire to be fed and watered by Me, and I will invite them all to come to Me as My guests and take supper with Me .... I will strengthen soul and body and make them fit for their earthly change .... I will not leave anyone in need who faithfully entrusts himself to Me. For I want to heal wounds, not inflict them. And where it appears to you as if I let you suffer, My love is always at work which wants to help you if you are in danger of harming your soul .... My love, however, is always with you and guides you through adversity and suffering, it wants you to come to life and then never lose this life again. And you can feel My love in every word which sounds to you, which originates from Me and wants to find an echo in your soul .... And if you feel My love you will also continue your pilgrimage without worry, for then you will always know that you are under My protection ...._>Amen

God's address is a great grace ....

B.D. 7777 from December 20th 1960, taken from Book No. 81

The grace you receive is immeasurably great when you hear My direct address from above, when you are called to hear the father's voice Who wants to testify to His love for His children .... This grace is immeasurably great, for all of you humans are still far too distant from that degree of love which justifies such an address, which makes you worthy to hear Me Myself .... But My love for you is also immeasurably great, and it expresses itself because it cannot help but give itself away, but to make the one happy who is still in adversity and misery. And you humans are in this adversity, you are in danger of getting lost, i.e. of languishing at a distance from Me for an infinitely long time again, when you have already come so close to Me that you only need to cover a short distance in order to reach Me. Yet this knowledge is alien to you if you are not informed of it through My love .... And whether you then believe it is still a matter of your own free will .... For you yourselves determine the path you take until the end of your earthly life. But whatever I can do to guide you onto the right path I will truly still do so that you will not get lost. And therefore My love is constantly concerned about you, and it expresses this concern in the direct address .... The father does not cease to admonish and warn His children, to instruct them and to make His love known to them in every way. For I don't want you to get lost, I want you to be blessed and only ever increase your bliss .... I want to win My children for Myself who were already eternally distant from Me. Yet this is difficult because free will must remain with you, otherwise My might would have reached its aim long ago but then you would never be able to attain the perfection which free will can achieve .... And thus I want to tell you that My love will never stop helping you to walk the path to perfection .... I want to tell you that My love is too great to give you up .... And if I don't achieve it in one redemption period, then I will certainly achieve it in several, but I will reach the aim of once being able to draw you to My heart as My 'children' in all perfection .... But to you, My living creations, I want to shorten the duration of your return to Me, because you will have to travel difficult, thorny paths until you have reached the aim if you misuse your will again and disregard My great gift of grace .... you cannot be lost if you make use of My grace .... You cannot go astray if you let yourselves be addressed by Me, if you willingly listen to Me, if you let My words go to your heart and then lead your way of life according to My word. Then I will recognize your good will and I can take care of you Myself and be your rightful guide on your earthly path. I want to grant you every help, I want to guide your thinking correctly, I want to create all opportunities for you to serve with love .... I will provide you with spiritual nourishment so that you will muster the strength to ascend. And thus I manifest Myself to you in an unusual way, I truly bring you bread from heaven, I Myself descend to you in the word, I make My presence so clear to you, and your faith could become so alive through it if only you lived in love at the same time and were thereby receptive to My direct address .... But I want to prove Myself to you, for you need such powerful aids in your spiritual adversity, and I truly do not hold back because I want you to recognize Me, because I want you to experience My love, wisdom and might, which will be revealed to you at any time if only you want Me to reveal Myself to you. Just believe that you were created by a 'power' and try to make contact with this power .... and truly, It will reveal Itself to you and you will also be allowed to experience Its love and wisdom, for I want My living creations to learn to love Me, because then they will also strive towards Me and I will then certainly achieve My aim that they will reach perfection and return to Me as My children, from Whom they once originated ...._>Amen

The adversary oversteps his authority ....

B.D. 7778 from December 21st 1960, taken from Book No. 81

The adversary's activity will be stopped once the hour has come when I will judge the living and the dead .... One day this Judgment has to take place again, after all, everything has left its order and therefore the spiritual beings' higher development is no longer guaranteed. Humanity no longer resists My adversary's activity, it is completely enslaved by his will, and he abuses his will such that even My followers will find it difficult to remain with Me .... He oversteps his authority by trying to completely displace Me from people's memory and thus he will find many followers who implement his will: to wage open battle against faith. And you humans live on earth in order to choose between two lords, hence you must also know about both lords .... He, however, aims to prevent the knowledge about your God and Creator, he tries to deprive you of all faith and his method of force is to impel the earthly authorities to rigorously fight against faith and thus against My Own who profess My name before the world. And therefore he will not have much time left, for he will be bound on the Day of Judgment. If you humans are thus able to observe this beginning, if you see how the battle against faith will openly erupt then you can also consider with certainty that the last days of the end have come, for then he will overstep his authority and will inevitably be doomed to be judged. For he has great power and he misuses it .... But I will put a stop to him so that not all people will succumb to him, so that My Own will be able to remain faithful to Me until the very end. As yet you can still observe his activity and keep away from those who follow him; you, who want to be My Own, can still come together and strengthen and comfort each other, but once My adversary enters into the last battle on this earth you will have to withdraw, you will no longer be able to speak openly, because then you will be treated with hostility by the world and those who belong to the world ....

But then it will be important that you profess Me openly .... And you need not be frightened either, for My strength will flow to you so that you will be able to remain faithful to Me, so that you will cheerfully profess Me and manifest your strength even more .... I predicted this time to you and it will come to pass as it is proclaimed; you will find that you will encounter ever more opponents, that the hatred against those of you who proclaim My Word will become greater, and then you will be well advised to avoid the enemy, so that you will not deliberately expose yourselves to danger .... Then you should be as wise as serpents and as harmless as doves .... but you should not betray Me .... But who else but Me would be able to give you strength, who else but Me could protect you and lead you out of all adversities again? My adversary will also be bound by Me when the time is fulfilled, and his activity will come to an end .... And you can rely on the fact that I Myself will take care of you when the time of the end has arrived, when you have to make your decision which lord you want to acknowledge. For he will be unable to topple those who want to be My Own, because I Myself will fight by their side and he is truly no match for My power. And he will be bound for an infinitely long time again along with his followers, so that an era of peace will start again for people who can no longer be harassed by him. However, this time of peace will on be on the new earth, because first order will have to be established again, first the spiritual beings will have to be 'judged' .... Only then will higher development continue, only then will there be peace again in heaven and on earth ....

Amen

"Living christians" ....

B.D. 7779 from December 22nd 1960, taken from Book No. 81

It is not enough that you outwardly identify yourselves as christians, that you belong to an ecclesiastical organisation, that you do what it demands of you in terms of outward appearances and customs, but only one thing is necessary: that you live out the teaching which every ecclesiastical organisation represents and also presents to its members .... that you fulfil the divine commandments of love which the 'founder of the church' Himself gave you on earth. He, Who Himself led a life of love on earth, He also made love the fundamental principle of those who want to belong to His church, for His church is not a dead structure, His church is spirit and life, His church is built on a living faith which can only be gained through a life of love .... Love and faith .... these are the characteristics of the church which Jesus Christ Himself founded on earth, for love and faith allow for the 'working of the spirit' which is the rightful emblem of His church .... And as long as you humans cannot exhibit this emblem you are only blind followers of the organisation you have joined, but you are not 'living' christians, you are not followers of the church of Christ .... And then you are in great danger of losing your soul, which has to pass a test of will on earth and cannot pass it if it does not draw strength from above, but which requires a living faith. Only living faith .... the result of unselfish neighbourly love .... establishes the intimate connection with the source of strength from eternity, from Whom every human being requires a supply of strength if he wants to reach his aim on earth: to become perfect as the father in heaven is perfect .... You humans take it very easy with your earthly task; you believe you are doing enough if you dutifully fulfil what is prescribed to you by people who claim to be 'God's representatives' .... You do not even think about whether they are really God's representatives or have only made themselves into such .... You do not even think about whether you are being instructed in the truth. You unhesitatingly believe everything that is presented to you as truth but you don't examine the origin of it, and you don't turn to Him, Who is the eternal truth Himself, in order to ask Him to guide you into truth .... You do not ask for the truth, otherwise you would truly also be introduced .... You don't take your earthly task seriously enough and believe that you are doing God's will by fulfilling prescribed actions and commandments which, however, were never given to you humans by God Himself .... But you pay no attention to God's commandments or you would make an effort to live a life of love and then you would automatically take the right path which leads upwards .... It is love alone which God requires of you; it is love alone which gives you the right to feel that you belong to His church, for love alone produces a living faith .... the rock on which Jesus Christ built His church. Therefore, only call yourselves christians when you have fulfilled Christ's commandments and thereby become true followers of His church .... And you can achieve this in every ecclesiastical organisation, for each one teaches you love .... But don't give priority to humanly issued commandments which are not fruitful and are unable to give your soul eternal life. For everything is worthless which is not based on love .... And you would discover the truth of this by yourselves if only you were serious about your duty towards God .... But as long as you only formally fulfil ecclesiastical demands your soul will always remain on the same level, it will not achieve any progress on earth, for this is only achieved through unselfish neighbourly love which, however, also irrevocably entails recognition: Enlightenment of spirit .... so that the human being will then no longer be satisfied with a formal christianity but will seriously strive for perfection, which he will then also certainly achieve ...._>Amen

The light descended to Earth ....

B.D. 7780 from December 24th 1960, taken from Book No. 81

The world was held in bondage .... You should understand that no-one who stayed on earth, no-one who lived in Lucifer´s world which sheltered the fallen beings, was able to release himself from Satan´s bondage .... He kept everyone shackled and would never ever have released them either, for he was devoid of all love, he was purely motivated by hatred and opposition to Me, Who is eternal Love Itself and from Whom he, too, had originated .... The world was held in bondage .... and therefore I Myself descended to earth in order to sever these fetters, to break the chains, to help the fallen beings ascend again .... in order to deliver people from his power. My descent to earth was an act of greatest compassion, for this wretched state was people´s own fault, since they once followed him voluntarily. They existed in darkness and not even the smallest light would have been accepted by these fallen beings had I not taken pity on them and ignited a light in them .... in order to show them the path which leads to Me, back to their Father, Whom they had once voluntarily left. This is why the Light Itself came into the world .... The Eternal Light embodied Itself in an infant in order to take the path as a human being on this earth, and the infant Jesus became My outer shell .... I availed Myself of the human form in order to accomplish the act of Salvation, in order to defeat My adversary in an open battle and to wrest those souls from him who had the will and the desire to return to Me .... I paid the purchase price for these souls, I sacrificed My life on the cross, I bought them from My adversary with My blood .... Thus I started the earthly path as a human being with the birth of the boy child Jesus, which already started in an unusual way because this human being called Jesus had to fulfil an unusual mission: to serve Me Myself as a shell, because the sinful human race would have been unable to endure Me in My abundance of light and thus the ´Light of Eternity´ had to enshroud itself. Nevertheless, exceptional light shone from the infant Jesus already, yet only visible to those whose loving way of life enabled them to endure the light and who therefore were permitted to come close to Me, for I knew who possessed this inner maturity and drew the few people to Me, who thus paid homage to Me as an infant like their king, for their clear souls recognised Me and prayed to Me.

My birth took place in seclusion for the abundance of spirit which permeated the infant Jesus at His birth caused the most miraculous happenings, and thus a few people were able to recognise that the announcements of many prophets were coming true, who had predicted the Messiah Who was to bring salvation to people in dire need. Those who still believed in a God and whose hearts were willing to love expectantly yearned for their Messiah and their hopes were fulfilled when I was born .... But they were unaware of the fact that I Myself had descended to earth, they were unaware that their God and Creator laid in the manger before them .... although they were seized by sacred awe and felt drawn to the infant in the manger with their whole being. For My love shone forth to them from this infant and touched their hearts .... And this was the start of My mission of giving love and of thereby awakening people´s love in return. I took the life as a human being upon Myself, I conformed to all laws of nature, I consciously travelled an earthly path whose goal had been the suffering and dying on the cross. And although the spirit within Me occasionally broke through and expressed itself I was nevertheless no more advantaged than other people, for I had to overcome the pestering of everything which was unspiritual in exactly the same way as is your task, for I wanted to exemplify for you a life as it complied with the Father´s will, Who was within Me .... I, too, had to shape and spiritualise My corporeal body such that the Eternal Love was able to take abode in it. And My way of life constantly offered Me the opportunity for that; after all, I lived My life as a ´human being´ because all of you humans were meant to follow My example by preparing your human body as a vessel for the divine spirit .... just as I had to do and did during My early years and during the years before My actual teaching activity .... And the Father took abode in the man Jesus, Who shaped Himself such that He served Me as a dwelling place, so that I, therefore, as Jesus the man, was ´full of the Holy Spirit´, so that I taught and performed miracles because the Father Himself was within Me .... Every person can achieve this if he only is of good will to serve the divine spirit as a vessel into which it can flow, and then every person will also be able to release himself from the adversary´s bondage, for as soon as he has entered into unity with Me in Jesus Christ, I Myself will loosen the chains and set him free .... For I lived on earth in order to redeem humanity .... I brought people the light so that they will find and indeed be able to cover the path which leads back to Me, back into the Father´s house ....

Amen

Jesus Christ's act of Salvation ....

B.D. 7781 from December 26th 1960, taken from Book No. 81

The return to Me was guaranteed as a result of My act of Salvation .... One day all souls will be able to stay with Me again, one day all beings which once had originated from Me will be permeated by My love again, as it was in the beginning, for with My sacrificial death on the cross I established a bridge from the abyss to the pinnacle, from the kingdom of darkness into the kingdom of light and beatitude .... My death on the cross paid for the extreme guilt which separated all beings from Me when they followed My adversary into the abyss ....

Until My arrival on earth an unbridgeable gulf existed between people and Myself which they had caused themselves but which they were no longer able to bridge by themselves since they were too weak, since the burden of sin pushed them to the ground and My adversary, too, prevented their every attempt to bridge this gulf. And thus I built a bridge by descending to earth Myself and only then made

Amends for the immense guilt .... by taking the burden of sin from people and shouldering it Myself I walked the path to the cross with it ....

What was impossible before has now become feasible: that people who are of good will shall follow Me and take the path of the cross, that they only abide by Me and never exclude Me again, that they want to belong to those for whom I died on the cross, and that they then find complete forgiveness of their guilt which enables their return to Me again into the kingdom of light .... I did not forsake people in their adversity, I came to help them, I took abode in a human being's shell and accomplished in this human being Jesus the act of Salvation, for I wanted to start a path leading from the abyss to the pinnacle again ....

And My life on earth was a life of love until My death, for people lacked love and therefore I set an example to them, for only love is redeeming, because love is the law of eternal order and because .... anyone who returns to Me .... has to change his nature into love in order to unite with Me again, since I Am love Myself .... And thus the kingdom of light and earth were bridged when I descended to earth Myself. And you all have to cross this bridge in order to reach Me again, Who was unattainable to you because of your guilt.

But My love is greater than your guilt, and My love sought a way out, it tried to re-establish the connection between you and Me which was broken by you .... And thus I found a way: My love Itself made

Amends for the guilt and opened the path of return to Me. By then a connection had been established from the kingdom of light to earth, because a soul of light had descended to earth in which I was able to embody Myself; for this soul took on flesh .... the human being Jesus was born, Who then travelled the path on which all human beings can follow Him, which enables you to enter the kingdom of light and concludes your return to Me .... My love built this bridge for you, for My love took abode in this shell and walked the path of the cross for you, that is, it compensated for the immense guilt of your apostasy from Me which had created the unbridgeable gulf between the kingdom of light and darkness .... My love for you is infinite and wants to win you back again, My living creations. Yet My justice did not permit Me to accept you again without the redemption of your guilt. And thus My love has also made

Amends for the guilt on your behalf .... a human being made the sacrifice of atonement on your behalf, and I Myself was within this human being ....

What was impossible before My crucifixion became achievable through the crucifixion: that you were allowed to approach Me again, that you would be able to return to your true home again, into the kingdom of light, where you can be active again in light and strength and freedom as in the beginning. The path to Me was open, you could leave your guilt behind under the cross, you could hand yourselves over to the love and mercy of Jesus, your Redeemer, and He would then open the gate to beatitude for you, to the kingdom of light. But even this, your 'deliverance', is a matter of your free will, otherwise every soul would instantly return to the kingdom of light, but in that case My goal to prepare you as My children would not be achieved .... You have to take the path to the cross of your own free will, in free will you have to ask for forgiveness of sins, and in free will you have to desire your salvation and approach Me in Jesus Christ. And it will be given to you .... you will return to Me and be joyfully received by your Father, Who descended to earth Himself in order to set you free ....

Amen

Concept of eternity .... God's plan of salvation ....

B.D. 7782 from December 27th 1960, taken from Book No. 81

The upward development of the fallen spiritual substance took place over infinitely long periods of time, infinitely long times were necessary before the earthly-material creation was shaped to such an extent that it could offer the already more mature spiritual substance a place to stay and help it to serve .... and infinitely long times were necessary until the spiritual being had developed to maturity through service in a state of compulsion, so that it could now walk the earth as a human being, so that it was allowed to animate a material form again, which, however, no longer walked the earth in a state of compulsion but had regained free will .... but which was also given the same task to mature: to serve .... But now this service was no longer a compulsion but had to be exercised in free will, in love .... But then it guaranteed the spiritual a becoming free from all form .... These endless long periods of time of the human being's pre-development, i.e. his soul, can well be described with the word 'eternities'; and yet they are limited in time, i.e. they once temporally come to an end .... But eternity lies before the human being, for the soul of the human being is imperishable, it remains in existence for all eternity .... While it is still in an imperfect state on earth as a human being, the state in eternity shall be perfect, because this is and remains the divine creator's aim to be able to create and shape with equally perfect beings in the spiritual kingdom. For you humans it is impossible to grasp what God has set as His aim. But you know one thing, that He can only work together with 'perfect' beings. And you should try to achieve this perfection while still on earth, which is also possible .... The father only puts His children to the test of will for a short period of time and, after the infinitely long course of development before, this time on earth is truly like a moment, because the father's greater than great love no longer wants to cause His children long agonies, so that love for the father will push them towards Him and they will seek to fulfil His will out of love: to voluntarily serve Him .... And this short earthly journey determines the state of the soul in eternity .... But it can also lead back to the abyss again, which again means a course of development into agony and darkness, but the natural consequence is a change of earth as a human being contrary to God's will. And yet, it cannot be avoided because the last perfection has to be achieved in free will and therefore no coercion whatsoever may be done to the human being. Once the soul looks back on its earthly path .... which includes the whole process of pre-development .... then it will grasp all correlations in bright realization, and then it will also know that the soul's 'perfection' has required this process and that the soul itself determines the duration of its maturing .... And yet it will be blissful even if it has prolonged its earthly progress through its own fault, for it will only possess this realization in the state of perfection .... when it has become an overcomer, because love has unfolded in it into bright fervour .... For love will stimulate it into service, and then it will also have reached the aim on earth which secures its release from every form. What lies in the past can still be so agonizing .... once it will be overcome .... But the soul does not cease to be eternally, and the final aim truly outweighs all previous suffering and torment, and beatitude never comes to an end again .... And this is God's plan of salvation, which can only be revealed to you humans in a small way, but which is truly founded in God's love and wisdom and is also carried out by His power .... For He longs for His "children" and wants to create and work with them for eternity ...._>Amen

Consciously turning to God is passed test of will ....

B.D. 7783 from December 31th 1960, taken from Book No. 81

The turning point of every individual person's life has come when the person consciously turns to God, when he inwardly acknowledges him and enters into contact with Him .... when he prays to Him in living faith. Then the soul will have consciously started on the path of return to Him and can also, with certainty, reach its goal on earth of entering the kingdom of the beyond redeemed of its past guilt. Hence the human being must merely consciously turn to God and not just carry out certain formalities or customs or want to prove his faith in God with empty words. For God only evaluates that which arises from the human heart, neither words nor gestures can deceive Him .... However, a prayer in spirit and in truth will definitely reach Him, and then he will take care of the one who deliberately seeks contact with Him .... The conscious bond with God is therefore the spiritual turning point in the life of the individual, and the sooner it happens the more successful it will be; nevertheless, it signifies that the human being has passed the test of will he is expected to take during his earthly existence. Prior to this his life is a waste of time, for the soul does not gain anything while the human being still lives without God. And as long as a person does not have a living faith he still lives without God, for the academic knowledge about God conveyed to people is not a living faith as yet .... Only his conscious surrender to God proves his faith, and from that hour onwards the soul starts to live, that is, its thoughts, feelings and inclinations take place on a spiritual level, the bond with God has been established and He Himself takes care of the soul because it had found Him of its own free will. And again it must be stressed that only love is able to achieve this .... that the thoughts of a person who lives in love will take the right path, the path towards the Eternal Love, for love strives towards love. In other words: the Eternal Love draws a lovingly active human being close to Itself. And his faith will indeed come alive, the person's thoughts will turn to the One Who had created him .... Who will take hold of him and never let him fall again, because his free will became active, for both love as well as faith prove that the will is inclined towards God and therefore they also prove the passed test of will on account of which the human being lives on earth ....

Amen

Mental bonding with God ....

B.D. 7784 from December 31th 1960, taken from Book No. 81

You will certainly succeed in transforming yourselves into love if you seriously strive to come closer to your father in heaven. For this will will only arise in you when you have already ignited the spark of love within yourselves, when the eternal love Itself can already express Itself in you by driving you from within ever more into loving activity. Then the bond with Me is already established and your striving is meant for Me, even if it is still unconscious at first. And if only again and again thoughts arise in the human being which have Me as their content, be it questions or quiet requests or a mental dialogue with the one Whom he acknowledges as his creator .... then he will always give Me the right to unite with him and to have an effect on him from within, and then he will come ever closer to Me, but he will also increasingly develop the love within himself, and he will irrevocably reach his aim, for I will truly never let him, and My love is so strong that it will also surely draw him to Me without Me forcing his will .... The human being is indeed still afflicted with all kinds of shortcomings and weaknesses but through the right attitude towards Me .... through his will for good and truth .... he will also be able to overcome these weaknesses, because love gives him strength and he will again and again be urged by Me to love. Making Me the content of his thoughts must also bring the human being closer to Me, for these thoughts are already the conscious or unconscious acknowledgement of Me .... These thoughts also testify to the belief in a God and creator, and they are therefore a very safe path to Me, because I Myself can grasp the person who cherishes Me in his thoughts .... because such thoughts already form the bridge between the human being and Me, which then no longer leaves Me inaccessible but can be entered at any time. This is why the human being can still be unfamiliar with the right knowledge but he will irrevocably attain it, for this mental bond with Me contributes towards clarifying his thinking, so that I Myself can influence him in every way, so that he can easily be guided in his will and actions .... And therefore it is a great blessing if a person succeeds in directing his fellow human being's thoughts towards his God and creator, if he causes him to think through questions, if he mentions a God Who is love, wisdom and might and Who wants to be the father of His creatures .... Everything that can direct a person's thoughts towards Me is a blessing, for only when he voluntarily moves such thoughts within himself do I have the right to influence him, and then I truly make use of it. The human being's freedom of will prevents Me from influencing him first, for he has to take the path to Me himself in free will. But then there is also a guarantee that he will strive towards the right aim, for the God Whom he seeks will never let him go .... And thus every person is blessed into whose thoughts I become active, and he will soon feel the blessing, for My love takes hold of him and urges him to work with love .... And the love in him will truly grow, his nature will change into love, he will mature in his soul, he will come to realization because now My spirit can also work in him .... and he will attain life and no longer lose this life eternally ...._>Amen

Overcoming matter ....

B.D. 7785 from January 1st 1961, taken from Book No. 81

Anyone who cannot leave the world will not acquire the kingdom of heaven; anyone who clings to the earthly kingdom will not be able to enter the spiritual kingdom of light, even though every human being must once take off his earthly garment and enter the kingdom of the beyond .... but this will be according to his desire on earth. No soul will be allowed to enjoy the light which has not sought the light on earth, for the kingdom of the world is the realm of the prince of darkness, the earthly kingdom cannot radiate spiritual light, matter darkens the human being's spirit, and he goes blindly through earthly life in spirit for as long as earthly matter still keeps him bound .... And anyone who desires the world with its goods does not desire light either, for light comes from above, from the spiritual kingdom, and can only reach him who has detached himself from matter, who turns his back on the world. The world is the kingdom of God's adversary, for all matter harbours unredeemed spiritual substances, all matter imprisons the spiritual substances which still lie in the adversary's bonds, which are still his possession and which therefore have to be overcome by the human being who one day wants to enter the kingdom of light. All of you have passed through this matter, all of you had already liberated yourselves from its encasement, but as a human being you strive again for that which you have long since overcome .... And that is your disaster, for if the soul does not succeed in freeing itself from the desire for earthly goods it will return to the realm it had overcome .... it can be banished anew in hard matter, and a renewed course through creation can be its dreadful fate. And therefore the human being can only ever be warned to chain himself to matter, to only strive for earthly goods and thereby to become ever more devoted to the lord of this material world. The human being can only ever be presented with the bitter fate of a new banishment into matter, so that he will reflect and try to free himself in order to one day be able to discard the material body and enter the spiritual kingdom in complete freedom. And he truly does not give much away when he tries to detach himself from the world and its goods, for these are transient and he cannot keep them when his physical life is over .... he cannot take any of it over into the spiritual kingdom if he is still called away before the end of this earth .... He will enter that kingdom poor and bare, and poverty will weigh heavily upon him when he realizes that he has put his earthly life behind him in vain, which could have brought him great spiritual wealth. But the human being cannot possess both together: spiritual goods and earthly-material values, if these still captivate his whole heart .... But once he has overcome them, once his desire for them has been released, then they will no longer harm him, for then he will only use the material goods according to God's will; he will perform works of love with them and increase his spiritual goods. But he can only attain spiritual goods when his soul no longer desires matter. And therefore earthly poverty is often a means to overcome the desire for the earthly world, and then poverty can only be evaluated as help to attain maturity of soul and spiritual goods, which are imperishable. But it can also increase a person's desire for earthly possessions, and then the person has to muster a strong will to master this desire and to be able to emerge victorious .... But then he will be able to achieve great spiritual success, and then he will not have lived his earthly life in vain ...._>Amen

The living witness to Jesus Christ ....

B.D. 7786 from January 2nd 1961, taken from Book No. 81

You shall bear witness to Me .... i.e., you shall proclaim Me in Jesus Christ. When I once sent My disciples out into the world to proclaim the gospel to people they were to mention My act of salvation, for all people were to learn about what the father's love has done for His children .... And therefore My first disciples were witnesses who had experienced My way of life, My path to the cross and My suffering and death and thus were also able to give living testimony of Me .... And thus My name and My teaching were carried out into the world .... The disciples, who were constantly close to Me, I was able to initiate into the deepest secrets, which they also understood after the outpouring of the spirit. And thus they were enabled to teach, to proclaim of Me and to testify of the work of mercy I had accomplished for humanity. If I had not been able to initiate these disciples into My plan of salvation, they would only have mentioned the work of a man .... But thus they recognized Me, and only this realization gave them the persuasiveness of their words, for they believed in Me and My mission as the human being Jesus, and I Myself was also able to strengthen their spirit and put the right words into their mouths so that their testimony of Me was a living one. For people should all learn to believe in Me as the divine redeemer Who redeemed the world from sin and death. But they also had to be truthfully instructed, which My disciples were well able to do, for they were taught by Me Myself, they were trained for the teaching ministry, for the task with which I sent them out into the world. The knowledge of Jesus Christ, in Whom I embodied Myself in order to redeem humanity's guilt of sin, must reach all people. And therefore I train disciples for Myself again and again who shall testify of Me and can do so vividly, because I Myself impart to them the knowledge of My life on earth, of the mission of the man Jesus and of the great significance of His act of salvation; for all people must find their way to Him if they want to enter the kingdom of light redeemed when their souls leave the body and the spiritual kingdom, which is their true home, accepts them again. Then the divine redeemer Himself can open the gates for them .... Then I Myself can accept My children into My kingdom again, which, however, is not possible without redemption through Jesus Christ. And thus it is your most important task to inform your fellow human beings of Jesus Christ as soon as you have received this knowledge from Me, as soon as I Myself have instructed you through My spirit about the significance of the act of salvation, about Jesus Christ, the son of God and redeemer of the world, in Whom I Myself accomplished the act of salvation .... Only he who possesses this knowledge himself can pass it on .... Only someone of living faith can testify to Me, for My spirit works in him and truly instructs him from within and gives him the ability to pass on his knowledge to his fellow human beings. And thus he can testify of Me in Jesus, Who died on the cross for the sins of humanity. And thus anyone who can speak of Me in a living way will also truly be able to demonstrate spiritual success, for he will find faith with his fellow human beings, for they will feel addressed by Me Myself, they will have understanding for the act of salvation and want to belong to those for whom I shed My blood on the cross. For they will not be dead speeches, they will go to the heart and lead to Him, to Jesus Christ, the divine redeemer, Who was only the shell for Me because I wanted to redeem the great guilt of sin, because I wanted to take the guilt upon Myself and atone for it .... and this could only happen in the shell of a human being. And thus you humans should take notice of your father's overwhelming love and never forget what He has done for you .... And you shall always bear witness to His act of salvation, because I Myself introduced you to this knowledge through My spirit, for you can give a living testimony, as My disciples were also able to do when they experienced Me Myself when I walked across the earth .... For only someone who has a living faith in Me can also give a living testimony, for his thinking is enlightened, he stands in knowledge, in light .... and can therefore also radiate light and make his fellow human beings happy with it ...._>Amen

Explanation about different Word-reception ....

B.D. 7787 from January 3rd 1961, taken from Book No. 81

I will truly not deny you My Word if you want to be addressed by Me, but you must always check and ask yourselves what you would like to know .... I will answer your questions if they concern spiritual thoughts and if this answer will be beneficial for you. For I certainly want you to know the truth but I will withhold My answer if the question is not based on pure motives. That happens if you want to use this answer to distinguish yourselves before your fellow human beings or if you intend to use this answer in order to impel them into this or that action. For I recognise every intention within a human heart, and even if he subsequently communicates with Me .... he will not be prepared enough that I Myself can answer him. Then no spiritual exchange will take place but the person's intellect works out an answer for itself which he will then pass on as a 'spiritual reception'. Every person will be addressed by Me if he fulfils the conditions: if he makes heartfelt contact with Me and appeals to Me for My Word .... And I will talk to him in accordance with his state of maturity, I will place the answer into his heart, I will direct his thoughts such that he will not live in error. But this assurance of Mine is also being misused insofar as that people contact Me for answers relating to earthly matters, insofar as they are incapable of differentiating between spiritual and earthly matters. I truly do not want to deny Myself to My children but neither will I divert from My conditions on which I based the working of My spirit: I want a profound desire for truth to be the cause of such questions which concern spiritual knowledge. Once you humans have reached the degree that 'My spirit' can work in you then you will also know that your Father directs earthly destinies as they will serve you best .... you will entrust yourselves to Me as your Leader and know that I will arrange everything for your own good.

Thus you will not expect personal instructions or assignments nor ask your Father for them. For with earthly questions you always run the risk of providing your own answers as you would like them to be .... Let Me take care of you and completely leave your guidance to Me .... And only make sure that your soul will mature, that it will become a vessel for My spirit .... Then hold private conversations with Me and let Me instruct you, i.e., initiate you into spiritual knowledge .... For My kingdom will only ever be the spiritual world, and from this world you receive spiritual teachings which intend to raise your soul's maturity if you live your life on earth in accordance with these teachings. And the thoughts of anyone wanting to work for Me will truly be correctly directed by Me, he will need no advice from fellow human beings who may also advise him wrongly or pass wrong messages on to him .... Unite yourselves with your Father of eternity and pray to Him for right guidance, and you will feel My will in your heart and comply with it. And test all things and keep what is good .... No-one should omit testing the spiritual information given to him, for everyone should know that during the last days My adversary will work wherever he can in order to cause mental confusion .... but that he has no influence on those who form a heartfelt bond with Me and have appealed for My guidance. And he also knows to disguise himself well and to appear as an angel of light .... yet it can be recognised by all those who are looking for light and truth, for I will not let them walk in darkness .... I Myself will grant them light because they desire it ....

Amen

Mental coercion ....

B.D. 7788 from January 4th 1961, taken from Book No. 81

This is My will that your spirit develops freely, that you are not subjected to any spiritual compulsion, for this hinders your development and will never lead you to perfection. I can only evaluate what your freest will does, what you do out of love for Me and your neighbour, which you are not forced to do from any side. But if you are given commandments with promises of reward or threats of punishment .... be they of an earthly or spiritual nature .... then every work, every fulfilment of the commandments, is of no value for the soul. For earthly life is about the human being's free decision of will which, however, is hindered when the human being is put under pressure. And this happens on the part of ecclesiastical rulers when the human being is forced into a system, when actions are demanded of him which have no effect whatsoever on the human being's soul, which are worthless precisely because they are demanded, because the will is thereby made unfree. I place the freedom of the will above everything, for this shall be proven in earthly life .... The human being's will should be able to decide in every direction without being prevented from doing so. And thus you should also be allowed to believe or reject doctrines of faith as your free will deems right, but of your own accord you should try to find out what seems credible to you .... You should also be allowed to take note of the most diverse teachings and then decide for yourselves; you should form your soul completely freely, i.e. help it to reach the highest possible maturity .... And you will only succeed in this through love .... I certainly gave you the commandments of love but nevertheless you cannot be forced into love, it will always remain your own matter of will but also be the only path which leads to the right faith and to your perfection. And if you humans look at the ecclesiastical organisations from this side, then choose the one which guarantees you freedom of thought .... Examine all schools of thought and join the one which gives you freedom, which demands nothing but the living connection with Me as your God and creator, Who wants to make Himself known to you as father .... Join the 'church of Christ' which He Himself founded on earth, which only requires a living faith from you which is gained through love .... Then you will also be guaranteed complete freedom of thought, because I know exactly that you will attain the right way of thinking if you live out love, if only you fulfil these two commandments of love which grant you truth and knowledge, and then you will think and act of your own free will as it is right in My sight .... For if you have love then you truly don't need to be prompted to act by promises of reward or threats of punishment, for you will change your way of life according to My will and yet always decide freely out of yourselves, for then the love within you will push you, which is free but makes you unspeakably happy, which gives you a living faith which is strength in itself and which unites you most intimately with your father of eternity .... And then you will also be able to recognize every religious doctrine as truth or error, and you will only ever turn to Me as the eternal truth and desire to be taught correctly by Me .... Then your earthly life will be free, you will not act under compulsion, you will be driven by love for Me and for your neighbour, for everything you want, think or do .... And then you can also perfect yourselves, which, however, is never possible under spiritual compulsion ...._>Amen

God as the "guardian" of truth? .... incorrect education ....

B.D. 7789 from January 5th 1961, taken from Book No. 81

Again and again you humans will misrepresent My word as long as you are not moved by the deepest desire for truth which protects you from error and untruth. But this desire for truth is inherent in very few people; most of them are indifferent towards spiritual possessions because earthly life still occupies them too much and because they have little interest in what happens to them after death. For the belief in a continuation of life after death is not very strong, even among those who call themselves Christian and belong to church organisations it is lacking .... They doubt it very much, if they do not even deny a "survival". And so they do not think of their later lot, nor do they seek enlightenment about it. And if they are given clarification they do not examine its origin but thoughtlessly accept or reject it because they lack the desire for truth .... And as long as My pure word is in danger of being deformed by people because they are driven to it by My adversary who fights against the truth. You humans must know about all correlations, you must know about the battle of darkness against light .... You must know that only truth will help you to attain perfection, that truth is spiritual nourishment for the soul which it needs in order to mature .... you must know that you can never find the right nourishment for your soul in error .... you must know that the basic condition for attaining the truth is precisely the desire for truth which is proof that you also desire Me Myself .... And you will only have the desire for Me in you again if you are willing to love. This is why a person who is willing to love will also recognize My word as truth and willingly accept it from Me .... And the rejection of My word will always also prove a loveless heart, and then My word is not protected from being distorted either, because then My adversary will make use of that person who also willingly listens to him and acts as the adversary demands .... And since love has grown cold amongst people the truth will also be lost, that is, error and lies will break through and be willingly accepted by people, whereas the truth will be resisted or misinterpreted by people's will, which always signifies a change of My word. For whether My word is conveyed to you directly or whether you receive it from the book of books, you must have the desire to be addressed by Me .... to receive spiritual knowledge which has originated from Me, because then it must also be truth .... you must desire the truth .... otherwise you cannot protect yourselves from wrong spiritual knowledge. Hence the view is erroneous that I Myself am the 'guardian of truth' and that you cannot be offered wrong spiritual knowledge by those who claim to be My representatives .... The human being has free will, and by virtue of it he can transform and shape every spiritual knowledge, no matter how pure it originated from Me .... And thus every individual can move in the truth as well as every individual can shape the truth of his own accord, according to his will, according to his maturity of soul and according to his attitude towards Me .... otherwise beatification would be the privilege of those who only ever accept what those 'representatives of God' impart to them because they believe that this spiritual knowledge is protected from all contamination by Me .... Every person is responsible for his spiritual knowledge himself, it is up to him whether he lives in truth, for the condition for this is that he desires the truth himself. But then he can also be certain that I will enlighten his thinking; then he will recognize My word as such, and then he will also know how to protect it and not allow any distortion of it, because he will recognize it immediately, because his spirit instructs him and this truly only conveys the truth from Me to him ...._>Amen

Nothing is too small before God .... fates ....

B.D. 7790 from January 7th 1961, taken from Book No. 81

In tireless concern I take care of the fate of every single human being. And you often doubt that your God and creator cares for the individual; you consider Me infinitely great and powerful and you (7.1.1961) just as infinitely small and unimportant, and you don't know that I let the whole great creation come into being for your sake and that every single soul is dear to Me and that I therefore take care of it during its earthly existence .... And the individual's fate in life is determined in My eternal plan of salvation. For it can lead to the soul's highest perfection if the human being's will is correctly directed. And if you now believe that you are badly affected, if your fate seems unbearable to you, this should let you conclude that I have great love for you, for I only use the means which are helpful for your maturing in order to one day be able to bestow the greatest beatitude upon you. For the most difficult fate will pass, and again and again I will also lead you out of the most difficult situations in life in order to provide you with relief, but I also recognize what you still lack and what state your soul is in .... I know about your spiritual hardship and seek to remedy it .... I am truly only concerned about your bliss but cannot provide it for you if your state is not such that the soul can tolerate the light in great abundance .... For light is bliss .... You are all children of My love, you all came forth from Me in highest perfection. Hence you are not unimportant creatures, and thus you need not assume that your God and creator keeps Himself distant from you, that it is unimportant to Him what you might one day become .... I truly care for each and every one of you and want to prepare him for a life of supreme strength and brightest light, I want to make you blissfully happy for all eternity, for I created you out of love .... and My love never ends .... My love can never ever decrease again, and My love applies to everything that once came forth from Me. And thus your love should also be meant for Me, and then you would also return to Me and no longer have the feeling of being far away from your God and creator; then you would truly no longer feel like unworthy and unimportant creatures but turn to the father like children because love drives you to Me. And then you would also be aware of your earthly task to shape yourselves into perfection again, because you would realize that you can only unite with Me when you have become perfect like your father in heaven is perfect. And then love will also unite you with Me again, then you will voluntarily hand yourselves over to your father, and then the purpose and aim of earthly life will have been achieved for the sake of which I called you into life: You have become gods and can now create and work with and next to Me, as it was My plan since the beginning ...._>Amen

Unclouded spring water .... gift of grace ....

B.D. 7791 from January 8th 1961, taken from Book No. 81

I shower you all with My grace, for I want you all to become blessed. And none of you can become blissfully happy without My grace because you are too weak and need help which is conveyed to you in the form of gifts of grace. But everyone evaluates the gifts of grace differently, and therefore My graces do not always have the same success .... One person needs a longer time until he attains beatitude in My kingdom, whereas the other, who uses them well, already reaches his aim in a short time and awakens to life, which now secures him eternal beatitude. And therefore My flow of grace can flow incessantly .... Some people pass it by carelessly, others again catch every drop and use it in the right way. And their course of life will be richly blessed and most certainly also lead to perfection. And I open up a fountain of grace everywhere, I guide My word down to earth and only ever call upon My creatures to seek out the fountain of life and draw from it for the salvation of their souls. But sometimes they don't recognize where My flow of grace flows either .... sometimes they let themselves be deceived by little waters of various kinds which also seek an outlet but do not have a source of life tapped by Me as their origin .... But they pass by the right spring because they don't appreciate its value, and they draw the water from rivulets or small cisterns which, however, no longer offer pure, clear spring water. And therefore they cannot expect to find healing or strengthening either, but which I want to give to the souls and therefore repeatedly refer them to the source of the water of life .... I convey My word to earth and offer it to people again and again, for this word is a gift of grace with such an unusual effect on the human being's soul that he will most certainly attain beatitude if he accepts My gift of grace and also makes use of it .... if he listens to My word and now also lives accordingly, thus fulfils My will which is proclaimed to him through My word. I want to help all of you to become blissfully happy, and because you are too weak I want to strengthen you for your pilgrimage path so that you will cover it, even if it requires strength, because it ascends. And therefore you will always be able to lie down at My source, you will receive it directly from Me and it will truly provide you with strength to such an extent that you will be able to reach your aim on earth, that you will not live your earthly existence in vain, that your soul will be released from its physical bondage and can now enter the kingdom of light where eternal beatitude awaits it. You should only let yourselves be fed and watered by Me .... you shall bow down at the spring and draw from the water of life .... you should use the most precious gift of grace I offer you in earthly life .... you shall let yourselves be addressed by Me and willingly listen to Me and obey My word .... And you will attain beatitude, for since I want you to become blessed I also use the right means to facilitate your return to Me .... I pour out My graces on all you who are of good will. And I invite all to sit down at My spring and refresh yourselves, then I will address you all and feed and water your soul, and it will never lack and surely attain eternal life ...._>Amen

Submitting the will to God's will ....

B.D. 7792 from January 9th 1961, taken from Book No. 81

You will be guided by My will if you voluntarily submit yourselves to it .... Then you will always want and do what is right before Me, you will make My will your own, as it were, and your way of life will be in accordance with My will. Yet you must voluntarily hand yourselves over to Me, you must voluntarily choose Me as your ruler and guide, you must voluntarily submit to My will, and that means you must humbly accept everything from My hand which does not seem pleasant to you but which is nevertheless good for you, because My love only imposes that on you which serves the salvation of your soul. In Me is love, wisdom and power .... My love wants to draw you to Me forever, and My wisdom recognizes the right means .... My might brings about everything My love and wisdom decides .... And you must only ever entrust yourselves to Me, you must acknowledge My will as wise and loving and submit to it, you must submit your will to Mine .... And truly, your earthly life will not be an idle one, it will lead to the success for the purpose of which you are on earth: to unification with Me, from Whom you once separated of your own free will. Your will turned away from Me, it went its own way, it turned towards the one who stood opposite Me as an adversary and who exerted his influence on you, to whom you succumbed .... You recognized His will, you opposed Mine, and this was a sin which you alone could no longer make up for, because you recognized that you went against Me and yet in free will distanced yourselves from Me, Whom you certainly recognized as your God and creator by virtue of the light which flooded you but Whom you did not want to acknowledge because you could not behold Him .... You cannot see Me now either, but I reveal Myself to you in many ways, and now you can turn your will towards Me again, you can consciously acknowledge Me if you submit your will to Mine, if you voluntarily hand yourselves over to Me that I may guide you, that I give your will, thoughts and actions the right direction, that you thus voluntarily join Me again, as it was in the beginning when My will flowed through you and found no resistance. Yet I leave the freedom of your will to you, you will not be forced to surrender to Me and My will .... But blessed are you if you take your path to Me voluntarily, if you make your will entirely your own to Me .... Blessed are you, for then I will determine your further fate, your earthly path and your development, for My love will no longer let you go and is constantly active, it flows into your heart and you will no longer be able to think and want differently like your father in heaven, for then it is My will which flows through you and determines your thoughts, will and actions. For this reason you can now calmly complete your earthly path, for once you have subordinated your will to Mine your earthly fate will also be shaped in such a way that it will only ever be advantageous for your soul's salvation .... You have escaped My adversary, you have voluntarily returned into your father's arms, and you now also belong to Me, you are My own, and you will now also remain My own forever ...._>Amen

Giving up resistance .... devotion to God ....

B.D. 7793 from January 10th 1961, taken from Book No. 81

The slightest resistance also reduces My strength of love .... And thus it is always up to you humans yourselves whether you feel Me and My love, yet full devotion to Me makes it possible for Me to also have an unusual effect on you, which, however, I cannot do as long as you still resist Me, as long as you are still inwardly distant from Me, as long as you do not yet seek Me of your own free will. But you will always find inner peace when you have trustingly given yourselves to Me, and I will now also be able to work on and in you .... I will be able to provide for you spiritually and earthly, I will be able to give you what you ask for, be it spiritual or earthly requests which you now address to Me. For My love always wants to touch you, I always want to give you evidence of My love, because I want to induce you into an ever more intimate bond with Me. And if I assure you of this love of Mine you truly need not go through your earthly life anxiously, for all hardship will pass when it has fulfilled its purpose of leading you closer to Me. But you must not distance yourselves from Me in times of earthly adversity or hardship, because then you will offer Me the resistance which prevents Me from giving you evidence of My great love for you .... You must gratefully and humbly accept everything from My hand which fate imposes on you, for they are only ever indications of the path you should take .... the path to Me, Who will also turn everything away from you again when the time has come. I can never and will never break your resistance by force .... but if you give it up of your own accord, that is, if you surrender yourselves to Me in faithful trust, then the purpose which all suffering is intended to achieve will also be fulfilled: Then My love can take effect and help you achieve maturity of soul, and then you will also soon have overcome, because then you will receive strength from My love which will strengthen you and no longer allow any weakness to arise in you. Just secure all My love for yourselves and your life will be an easy one, because then you will always be able to avail yourselves of My strength when and where you need it. Ask Me in spirit and in truth that I will take care of you, that I will guide and lead you, that I will not abandon you .... And truly, you will feel My guidance and you will have an easy life on this earth .... For then I will also be able to illuminate you with My love as once, because you no longer close your heart to Me, because you acknowledge Me and thus have already returned to Me, even though you still live on earth .... Seek Me and give yourselves to Me .... and you have done everything you should do in earthly life: You have given up all resistance against Me and can therefore be seized and permeated by Me and My love again. And only accept all your suffering and hardship as a means to find the path to Me, for I certainly want to win you over for Myself but cannot force you to belong to Me. And therefore your own will has to become active .... You must come to Me and you will be accepted by My love which will never let you go again ...._>Amen

Love is the law of order ....

B.D. 7794 from January 11th 1961, taken from Book No. 81

And your state of maturity will increase if only you always strive to fulfil My will, for then you will feel in your heart what My will is, and then this will be the result of subordinating your will to Mine, that you will no longer be able to think and want differently because My will is now active in you. But this also requires a life of love, because love pushes towards Me and love is always willing to do what gives pleasure to the object of love. And thus you experience again and again that love is the law of My eternal order and that only the insertion into this order is the purpose of earthly life, but that then the guarantee is also given that the human being shapes himself into the original being in free will and then can also be blissfully happy without limitation. And you humans should think about the purpose of your earthly existence .... You should not recognize earthly life as an end in itself but as a means to an end and ask yourselves whether you also live in accordance with the purpose. You should not behave contrary to My will by disregarding the divine commandments of love, for I Myself gave these to you when I lived on earth, and this teaching of My love now informs you of My will .... If you only follow these commandments of love then your soul will irrevocably mature, because then you will fulfil the purpose of your earthly existence: because you will take care of the transformation of your nature and thus also fulfil My will and integrate yourselves into the law of eternal order. This is what has to be brought home to you again and again, what I convey to you from above again and again and what you, My disciples, should also tell your fellow human beings: that they should only make an effort to live a life of love and then their maturity of soul will truly increase because they will then also fulfil My will. And then they will not walk their pilgrimage on earth in vain, it will lead them to the right aim, they will look for Me and reach Me, Who can only be found through love and Who therefore will repeatedly admonish you to love because I want to be eternally united with you, My children ...._>Amen

Divine love .... selfish love ....

B.D. 7795 from January 12th 1961, taken from Book No. 81

The soul's spiritual results at the end of its earthly life were determined by the human being himself through his way of life, for he was allowed to live it freely and without constraint, and he only needed to submit himself to God's will that he would bring maturity to the soul .... And how he now used his will determines the soul's fate in the kingdom of the beyond. Again and again people are admonished to think of their life after death and to lead their way of life accordingly. But the belief in the soul's continued existence is too weak or non-existent, and therefore people are lukewarm in their soul's work, they only live for this earth and rarely reach a degree of maturity which earns them a small light when they depart from this life. And yet, they need only live a life of love, then their earthly life will already be in accordance with God's will and it will earn them maturity of soul. But the desire for matter usually stifles the spark of love in the human being's heart, for selfish love is still too great, and this only demands but does not give .... But only unselfish, giving and gratifying love is divine, thus corresponding to God's will, because it is also God's original being .... Demanding love, on the other hand, is ungodly and will never earn the soul a degree of maturity: The majority of people, however, are filled with demanding love and their desire is only for earthly-material goods, earthly happiness, fame and reputation .... It is a love which only ever revolves around matter, which is never for the benefit of the neighbour .... It is an ungodly love which only pulls the human being down but never allows him to ascend. Such love is not in divine order, it is the inheritance of the one who is devoid of all love, who, as God's adversary, also always tries to influence people to cultivate that selfish love in order to prevent the approach to God, which presupposes selfless, happiness-willing love .... But people don't think about the fact that their purpose of earthly life cannot only be the fulfilment of earthly wishes, and they also believe themselves entitled to extract from the world what it only offers them .... They do not believe in survival and are therefore irresponsible in their earthly life. But they cannot be forced to think and want differently, they must freely decide for themselves which path they want to take on earth .... And thus they also have to come to realization themselves, but again and again they are also warned and admonished and only need to take a mental stand on such admonitions once, which, however, they usually refrain from doing. Hence the human being himself determines the soul's degree of maturity, he determines the soul's spiritual wealth or poverty at the end of its earthly course, he determines the soul's fate in the kingdom of the beyond, which cannot be other than what the human being has striven for .... Only when the human being's eyes are spiritually directed, when the human being reflects on the meaning and purpose of earthly life, on a continuation of life after death, will the consciousness of responsibility awaken in him, and blessed is he who early comes to the realization that he himself should help his soul to reach maturity .... Blessed is he who fights his selfish love at an early age and transforms it into unselfish neighbourly love .... He will succeed in acquiring the soul's degree of maturity which will protect it from darkness when the human being's physical life is over .... For it will come to beatitude in the spiritual kingdom, it will not need to fear death because it will only enter into a life which lasts forever ...._>Amen

The word is "light" that dispels darkness ....

B.D. 7796 from January 13th 1961, taken from Book No. 81

The earth lies in profound darkness and people do not desire light otherwise they would open their eyes and also behold a ray of light which shines down to earth from above. The darkness on earth is so great that people close their eyes when a ray of light touches them, for they feel comfortable in the darkness and flee the light instead of joyfully letting it shine into their hearts .... People are blind in spirit, they are without any realization, without knowledge of their God and creator, they are without knowledge of their purpose of earthly life and of the aim they should strive for on earth .... And they desire no light .... For this reason they also resist every supply of truth, they resist every enlightenment, they accept no teachings which would impart knowledge to them about their God and creator .... They only live a purely earthly life, their senses are only turned towards the world and they don't think about what will jappen to them after the death of the body. They are without faith and without love and therefore blind in spirit. And yet the light shall still be brought to them before the end comes, for it can still show a few the path which they cannot find in the darkness and which leads upwards to Me, Who can only be sought and found on high. A light shall still shine for all people so that they cannot say that darkness has made it impossible for them to ascend .... They shall receive light which can shine into their hearts and illuminate it from within .... And only then will they feel the benefit of the light which emanates from Me and leads back to Me again. This is why the light of eternity descends to people again and again in the word, for My word alone can give them enlightenment, My word alone can impart knowledge to them and thus make them realize for what purpose they stay on this earth, and My word can also impart to them with the light the strength to fulfil their purpose of earthly life .... There shines a ray of light in the midst of darkness .... I Myself guide the light to earth in order to supply the few with light who open themselves to its ray, who don't resist the light when it touches them .... who want to come out of the darkness and therefore follow every ray of light which shines upon them on their earthly path .... For only I Myself can let 'light' radiate, only the truth from Me can ever be light, and this shall still be conveyed to people before it is too late. And even if it will be difficult for the darkness of night to be completely dispelled by the light shining into it .... anyone who desires light will also find himself where it radiates, where it is kindled by the father's love, Who is the light from eternity .... And all will be able to light a light for themselves, who hurry towards the source of light, who follow the rays that fall on their path .... And it will become ever brighter in those who seek the light, for they have overcome the darkness and will also never fall back into darkness again, for where once My divine light of love was able to shine there its effect is also unmistakable, for the hearts strive towards Me, they are now on the path to Me, for they go after the light which irrevocably leads upwards, towards the eternal light. But I also need light bearers who precede people upwards, who receive My light from Me Myself and now carry it amongst people so that they can likewise kindle a light for themselves and the glow of light will become ever brighter until it turns the whole night into bright day .... until the enlightened human being recognizes Me more and more and the darkness has completely left him. The bearers of light will not always have an easy job, they will often be harassed by beings who want to extinguish the light, but they will also always enjoy My protection and again and again be allowed to fetch a light from Me, for the bearers of light are in constant contact with Me, they are the mediators who pick up the flow of light and guide it to where the darkness is still strong, where there are people who desire light and therefore will also receive it. For the darkness on earth increases the closer the end is, yet I truly guide the light to anyone who wants to escape from it, for anyone who desires light desires Me, and anyone who desires Me will also find Me .... He will take the right path which leads upwards and My love will meet him and take hold of him .... and he will reach the aim, the light will shine for him forever ...._>Amen

What is the purpose of life on earth? ....

B.D. 7797 from January 14th 1961, taken from Book No. 81

You have to know the purpose of your earthly life if your progress as a human being is to be successful and you want to reach the goal, if you once again want to become what you had been in the beginning .... You came forth from Me as supremely perfect beings, you were created in My image, endowed with all divine attributes, full of light and strength, and you were in constant contact with Me as your God and Creator, so that you were continuously able to receive light and strength from Me and thus were also indescribably happy. But your perfect nature also included free will or you could not have been called divine living creations. Consequently this free will had to open up two possibilities for you: to remain as perfect as I had created you, or to relinquish your perfection and change your nature into the opposite .... Thus you were meant to prove your 'divinity' by keeping the direction of your will in line with Mine, so that it totally merged with My will although it was completely free .... In that case, however, you also had to be capable of behaving to the contrary .... You also had to be able to fall away from Me as a sign of free will, if this was opposed to Me and My will.

I required My 'created' living beings to make this decision of will in order to be able to grant them even greater delights .... I required this decision of will of My first created being, the spirit of light, whom My greater than great love externalised and who, as My image, was intended to create and work with and beside Me in the spiritual kingdom. He had come forth from Me in supreme perfection, he was My image .... Yet one thing set him apart from Me: he received his strength from Me, whereas I was the source of strength Myself .... He certainly recognised this, for he possessed absolute realisation .... And so he was confronted by the test of will which required him to acknowledge Me as the source of strength from Which he constantly received his power .... However, his will and My strength had brought countless beings into existence, all of whom were of highest perfection, endowed with all gifts and free will which demonstrated their divine nature. And the awareness of having been the creator of all these beings made this first-created spirit, the bearer of light, arrogant, and in his arrogance he rebelled against Me.

Hence he did not pass the test of will but he voluntarily caused a separation from Me which, admittedly, was impossible to happen, because all created spirits would have perished in view of the fact that they are unable to exist without Me and My flow of strength .... but the bearer of light .... Lucifer .... deliberately turned away from Me, and therefore fell into the abyss, drawing with him a large number of beings which likewise were supposed to make a decision and deserted Me .... This occurrence, which took place in the spiritual kingdom, forms the basis of the 'creation of the world', of the countless different kinds of creations which I brought into being as the 'path of return' for the spirits, in order to guide all fallen spirits back to their origin again, in order to guide them back to Me, because they can only be happy again when they are united with Me, whereas the distance from Me signifies a state of utter wretchedness. I Am now trying to make this information accessible to you humans, for you are these fallen spirits which are on the path of return to Me and are approaching the goal. You had changed your once perfect nature into the opposite and became imperfect ....

Even as human beings you are still imperfect creatures, but you are able to perfect yourselves during your earthly life if only you fulfil My will, if you fit in with My law of divine order, if you live a life of love and completely change your nature into love again, as it was in the beginning .... Love reunites you with Me, but you have to accept it from Me voluntarily again. You must not resist it when My love wants to illuminate you once more; you have to do your utmost in order to fulfil your task in earthly life, which solely consists of directing your will towards Me, of surrendering to Me and striving towards Me with love .... Then profound knowledge will be revealed to you, the darkness within you will recede, you will achieve bright realisation, understand all correlations and leave the state of wretchedness, you will enter into union with Me and in this unity find the former bliss again which you once voluntarily relinquished but which belongs to every being that once originated from Me as a radiant image of Myself .... and which it irrevocably will become again one day, because this has been and will remain the goal of My creation: to educate 'children' for Myself who can create and work with Me in supreme happiness ....

Amen

The 'working of the spirit' in the human being ....

B.D. 7798 from January 15th 1961, taken from Book No. 82

The most profound mysteries can be penetrated by you if you allow the working of My spirit within you .... You will not understand this for as long as you still think in an earthly-material way, for as long as your mind is only occupied with the world and you do not try to find contact with the spiritual kingdom .... You will not understand the 'working of My spirit' as long as you have not made contact with Me, your God and Father, because then you will not be living in love as yet, which is the prerequisite for a bond with Me and thus also for the dormant spiritual spark with the eternal Father-Spirit .... Without love you cannot muster the understanding for the working of My spirit and neither will you ever strive for it .... However, once you kindle love in yourselves, the spirit in you will come alive .... You thereby establish the bond with the Father-Spirit of eternity, Who is love Itself, and He will influence you through the spiritual spark in you .... By allowing the 'working of My spirit' in you, you will truly attain great spiritual knowledge, knowledge will be made accessible to you which people cannot gain in any other way, for you may take a glimpse into spiritual spheres where secrets will be revealed to you which, however, can only ever be imparted to you by the spirit within you. However, prior to that you will always have to prepare yourselves into a receiving vessel for the divine spirit, which can only be accomplished through love. Then My spirit will be able to flow into you and the results will be truly glorious, they will be and remain a person's gain for all eternity. And so truth, too, can and will be conveyed to you humans in this way, hence it is possible for you to be instructed by 'God Himself' in all truthfulness if you allow My spirit to express itself, for this is entirely up to your own free will, no-one will be forced into it.

But if you allow it, by voluntarily shaping yourselves through a life of love into a receiving vessel for My spirit, then you will soon become enlightened, you will soon experience brightest realisation, and knowledge will be revealed to you which will plainly reveal all spiritual correlations to you .... Then the darkness of night will truly have been penetrated and the spiritual sun will shine into your heart, you will never walk in darkness again for you will have received a true light from Me which you may radiate into the night again. Therefore, don't be surprised where a person's wisdom comes from while another one does not possess it as yet .... Don't question why it is still so dark in people's hearts, for you now know the answer: You must seek the light yourselves, you must ignite the spark in yourselves and then there will be light because you desire light .... You humans should believe that I Am in contact with you, that I do not want you to live in eternal darkness. Yet you yourselves should want to escape the darkness too and take measures to kindle a light in you .... you should be aware of the fact that I placed a tiny spark in you but that it depends on your free will whether you want to fan this spark into a flame .... Then this flame will surge towards Me and unite itself with the fire of the Eternal Love .... with the result that My spirit will pour itself into such a prepared vessel and dispel the darkness in which the soul lingered until it accepted Me, until its love urged it towards Me and the darkness was subsequently penetrated .... Then I will be able to work in the human being, and where I Am at work through My spirit there is light, realisation and bliss ....

Amen

Transcending Matter ....

B.D. 7799 from January 16th 1961, taken from Book No. 82

No human being can spiritualize his soul, i.e. help it to unite with the spiritual spark within himself which still has turned its heart towards matter, for it will not pay attention to the voice of the spirit within itself, its thinking, wanting and acting will only ever be worldly oriented and it will leave its soul in want while it will do everything to the body which it demands. The soul and the spirit will only come to an agreement when the human being overcomes selfish love, when he eliminates earthly desires and pays attention to what the spirit demands, which tries to draw the soul to the father, which tries to determine it to establish the connection with Me so that I Myself can now also influence the soul through the spirit. Thus it must always be kept in mind that there are two kingdoms which try to captivate the human being but which completely differ from each other in their nature .... The earthly kingdom only offers material goods, the spiritual kingdom, however, such goods which are imperishable .... But the latter cannot be perceived as well as earthly goods, and therefore the human being seeks to rather come into possession of that which is visible and tangible. Spiritual goods, however, are not so openly perceptible and therefore only few people strive for them. But the spiritualization of the soul is the aim and purpose of earthly life, because the soul then changes its abode and passes over into the spiritual kingdom when the hour of its departure from this earth has come; then the body and with it everything it had striven for on earth will perish .... but the soul will remain, and if it has already been able to achieve spiritualization on earth then it will enter the spiritual kingdom in a radiant garment of light and will be blissfully happy .... But if the body has enjoyed priority in earthly life, then the soul is pitiful, for it cannot pass away, but according to its state of maturity its further life is then in the spiritual kingdom. And this often also means a spiritual standstill, which can be followed by a decline into the abyss. For then it has covered its earthly life in vain, it has not achieved spiritual progress because it has attached too much value to matter instead of overcoming it. The human being has to pass through the material world, he has to try to become master but he must not become a servant or slave to matter, for then he will not progress in his development, then the soul will not attain the maturity which will help it to unite with its spirit within itself .... The human being has to overcome selfish love, then he will be master of matter, then he can divest himself of it, and then he will also do so joyfully, and then he will have recognized his purpose of earthly life and also fulfilled it. Then he will willingly let himself be guided by his spirit, and thus I Myself will be able to influence him and he will have to ascend irrevocably, because My working in him will then truly be spiritually successful .... because the spirit in him will then push towards the eternal father-spirit and the unification can take place, which precisely requires a spiritualized soul which has completely detached itself from matter, which only strives for the spiritual kingdom and has taken the path back into its father's house. And the human being should only ever ask himself to what extent his love still applies to himself .... For only when he has overcome himself will his love for Me have reached the degree that the union can take place, which is now eternally indissoluble ...._>Amen

Process of development on earth ....

B.D. 7800 from January 21st 1961, taken from Book No. 82

When earth came into existence, countless spiritual substances were able to embody themselves in its works of creation and gradually ascended during their evolutionary process, because the creations corresponded to the spiritual substances' inherent resistance, which was still unbroken but of different intensity. The works of creation were more or less hard matter, because even earth itself gradually evolved into a work of creation which was to shelter people one day .... the spiritual essence which had already covered the process of development to the point when all substances of a fallen original spirit had gathered once again and regained their self-awareness and free will ....

But an infinitely long time had passed before the spiritual substance could reach this stage because earth needed this time in order to produce all the creations required by the spirit for its higher development. And the human being should know that he has already spent infinite periods of time on this earth, that the stage of human being is the conclusion of an evolutionary process which his will can now bring to an end. He should also know that one day this infinite path will be shown to him in retrospect, but that this memory has to be removed from him as a human being, since his task as a human being concerns his voluntary return to God. However, when he contemplates the countless wonders of divine creations surrounding him he should seriously ask himself what purpose they have to fulfil, and then he will receive clarification in his heart .... He will feel it, if the knowledge is not yet made accessible to him. And he should try to grasp the Creator's fundamental nature, i.e. request clarification about his relationship to Him. And this, too, will be given to him, since the goal of earthly life rests in the person re-establishing his relationship with God, which he once voluntarily had severed. For that was the 'fall of the spirits', they had separated from God of their own free will .... And thus .... during the last stage of their return to God .... they have to voluntarily restore their relationship with Him again and the purpose of their earthly progress will be fulfilled.

The fact that creation has largely contributed in returning the fallen being again can only be understood by you humans when you have achieved this return, because you would never have been able to reach the ascent if the divine Creator had not taken you away from His adversary's power who had caused your fall into the abyss .... if He had not removed you from his influence during the infinitely long time when you were integrated in the works of creation as tiniest particles of soul. His adversary had no control over you during this time, nevertheless you still belonged to him because you once followed him of your own accord into the abyss. But since you were completely without strength and light as a result of your apostasy from God, your path of return to God would have been impossible for you. For this reason God Himself provided you with this path of return through His works of creation which, in supreme wisdom and infinite love, were shaped to give the spiritual substance the opportunity of service in some form or other and thus, through service, reach ever higher levels of maturity. The spiritual particles which once belonged to an original spirit gathered again and, having achieved a certain level of maturity, commenced their last transformation .... For a brief period of time they were allowed to live on earth as a human being and had to be of service again .... but of their own free will and with love .... The purpose of earthly life for every soul embodied in a human being is to liberate itself from every cover by way of loving service, to return to the spiritual kingdom again, when its earthly life has ended, as the free spiritual being it had been in the beginning.

However, it cannot achieve this spiritualization without help because it is burdened by the original sin which repeatedly pushes it down again .... i.e. during its earthly life God's adversary has the right to exercise his influence again, since the spirits once followed him voluntarily. And the fallen original spirit .... the human being .... would succumb to his influence once more were it not for the offer of guaranteed help: redemption through Jesus Christ .... in Whom God embodied Himself to redeem the guilt of sin for all fallen spirits through His sacrificial death on the cross .... This help by Jesus Christ, the complete redemption and forgiveness of his sin, is assured to him providing he wants it himself, providing he acknowledges Jesus Christ and His act of Salvation and he acknowledges Jesus as God Himself, Whom the original spirit once denied acknowledgment ....

And thus you humans are given a brief explanation concerning the cause and significance of the act of Salvation. You have to know this in order to fulfil the purpose of your earthly life, in order to understand the divine plan of Salvation too, which only ever aims to guide the spirit essence back to God and which will be carried out with love and wisdom, since He has every power at His command to one day achieve the goal He had set Himself when He created all spiritual beings ....

Amen

Defence and illumination of the divine love power ....

B.D. 7801 from January 19th 1961, taken from Book No. 82

My love carries you and therefore you cannot be lost forever. You emerged from My love, for love is My fundamental substance, love is the strength which brought you into being .... And thus you are My share and will remain so forever. And what belongs to Me can indeed temporarily separate from Me, yet only willingly, otherwise it would perish if My strength of love did not keep it. But the voluntary, willful separation from Me also means the loss of light and strength, because the willful turning away from Me on your part prevents the permeation of My strength of love, which is only ever effective if it is not opposed .... For this is the law of eternity, and therefore only the voluntary acceptance of My strength of love can signify the possession of light and strength for you, and therefore you can only be blissfully happy if you do so, for a lack of light and strength makes the being miserable .... But you nevertheless possess all My love which follows you even into the deepest depths, because My love never stops, because it never decreases but always requires an open vessel into which it can pour itself. And this is what you humans should do in earthly life: You should open yourselves again in free will, you should turn to Me again as you once turned away from Me and closed yourselves to My flow of love. My love is always ready to radiate towards you, thus you should also make yourselves ready to receive My love .... You should return My love and thereby restore the union with Me which you once severed of your own free will .... This is your whole earthly task, which each one of you can also fulfil because he will receive My support in every way. For My fatherly love longs for the children to return to Me again, so that I can make them happy again as I once did. Yet you left Me voluntarily, you must also return voluntarily or you would truly have been My undivided possession for a long time already. But thus you also still belong to My adversary who is to blame for your fall into the abyss, for you followed him voluntarily .... Thus he also still has a right to you, and you yourselves should now decide in earthly life to whom you want to belong .... For neither My adversary nor I have a violent effect on you. But this is why you should also learn about Me as well as My adversary, you should know the aim which both I as well as My adversary pursue, you should know the nature and the will which is completely opposite, so that you will then also be able to freely decide to whom you want to surrender. And therefore you humans are addressed by Me, I Myself convey this knowledge to you, I inform you of your purpose of earthly life, of all correlations and of the infinite love which fills Me with all created beings .... And if only you are of good will you will love Me again and choose Me as your lord and leader, and then you will be saved for all eternity .... Then you will have escaped My adversary's power, then you will have taken the path home, you will voluntarily return to your father's house, you will unite with Me again and My love will shine through you as it once did, and you will be immeasurably blissful ...._>Amen

Matter is consolidated spiritual strength ....

B.D. 7802 from January 20th 1961, taken from Book No. 82

Consider yourselves My students and accept My instructions: The spiritual as well as the earthly-material world are guided and held by My will. If My will did not hold them they would truly dissolve into nothing, for the thoughts I externalised as My creations were consolidated through My will so that they could continue as something 'created'. And this consolidated will manifested itself in the most varied creations or: Every work of creation was strength consolidated through My will which I emanated because it gave Me pleasure to express this strength in forms determined by My love and wisdom .... The act of creation was only an expression of My greater than great love, unsurpassed wisdom and infinite might .... The thoughts I externalised took on forms through My will, thus all works of creation were thoughts consolidated by My will .... And when it was My will these shaped thoughts became visible .... The first works of creation .... the beings I externalised .... were able to see each other and all the spiritual creations I brought forth to give them happiness. They found themselves in the midst of inconceivable splendours which, however, cannot be described to you in detail since they were spiritual creations which demonstrated My might and glory to the created beings and gave them great pleasure .... And once something had come into existence it could never perish again. However, it was possible for the beings to lose the ability of seeing these works. Nevertheless, they continued to exist, for they were spiritual creations which are and will remain forever ....

Yet earthly matter, too, is strength consolidated through My will, but this only lasts until My will withdraws and the matter dissolves, i.e., the spiritual strength becomes invisible again as before, and My will reshapes it yet again as it best serves its purpose, which can happen many times as conceived by My wisdom and determined by My love. As an earthly-material form is dissolved the spiritual strength can certainly escape from it but it cannot cease to exist, whereas the matter as such will vanish as soon as it is no longer held firm by My will. And My will shall, time and again, withdraw from it because the task it has to fulfil is limited. It must be transient because, time and again, it has to release the spiritual substances which are to mature within matter according to the eternal plan. However, occasionally the human being also takes part in the dissolution of material creations, who can act in accordance with God's will but also in opposition to it, yet this free expression of will is permitted by God although the human being will have to justify his motives which prompted him to dissolve material works of creation .... For even these humanly accomplished dissolutions of matter can be good, that is‚ 'willed by God' .... They may, however, have been based on evil motives which do not comply with My will and are considered an offence against divine order. You must know this, too, in order to understand that no matter could exist were it not held together by My will, but that I do not hinder man's free will if it opposes Mine by trying to destroy matter .... Then he can certainly intervene in My work of creation but only to a limited extent, and even this wrong will was a determining factor for My plan of Salvation, or: I knew of it from the start and therefore based My plan of Salvation on this will. Material creations are transient and sometimes, therefore, incite the human being himself to intervene destructively and, depending on his reasons, with good or bad results, for My wisdom recognises the blessing which a dissolution of matter can entail, whereas the human being's will can reverse the effect of his actions to his own detriment or that of the spiritual substances still bound in matter; consequently, the human being will also have to justify himself if he has sinned against the eternal law of order. For I Myself bind and release .... and this in accordance with eternal law, in love and wisdom, for all power is at My disposal to do whatever My will determines ....

Spiritual pride and its danger ....

B.D. 7803 from January 21st 1961, taken from Book No. 82

Spiritual pride is the greatest evil for it requires the greatest strength to overcome it. And since the spiritually proud human being still completely belongs to the adversary he will never appeal to God for a gift of strength and will remain enchained until his heart has changed to become humble .... which generally requires more than one life on earth, hence necessitates a new banishment in matter. Spiritual pride is the inherited evil from the one who plunged into the abyss because of his arrogance. He will not even renounce his spiritual pride for eternities, therefore he will only take the path to the Father when he deems himself so small and low and weak that he will appeal for strength, which will then certainly be granted to him. And the same applies to his follower who remains in spiritual arrogance, who refuses to bow down to God's will, who therefore will not acknowledge a 'God' above himself either, who, as a human being, is so utterly convinced of his ego's value that he does not accept any spiritual instructions, that he does not think he needs the help that a higher Power can provide for him. Total unbelief and spiritual pride will always walk hand in hand, and because the human being does not want to acknowledge any God he will never be able to receive the flow of strength which enables him to free himself from this inherited evil, and his fellow human being will have no influence on him because he deems himself above everything that requires 'faith' and extends into spiritual spheres.

Addressing such people and imparting God's Word to them is rarely successful because they are constantly under the influence of God's adversary, who also wants to keep his followers away from God so as not to lessen his might and strength he assumes to possess in his adherents. Severe earthly and physical adversity must strike a spiritually arrogant person so that he takes notice of the feeling of weakness which might change his mind; he must realise that he is nothing and incapable of changing anything by virtue of his human nature, and this feeling of imperfection must persuade him to think. Then he will gradually relinquish his arrogance .... on account of which it is an incredibly significant grace if a person is placed into such circumstances where he becomes aware of his weakness and imperfection and is able to draw his conclusions from it. However, he retains his free will at all times, hence the adversary, too, will always influence him and thus he will just as well be able to dispel the thoughts which surface in him. But the world of light will also struggle for his soul in order to save him from the fate of renewed banishment .... and even if they merely succeed in persuading the human being to recognise his utter inferiority before his death and to acknowledge a Power above him before he dies .... Then he can still be helped to progress in the beyond and he will not need to repeat the path through the whole creation .... Then he will have succeeded in liberating himself from the adversary's domination, although the soul will have a hard struggle in the kingdom of the beyond in order to reach the light, which often shone on him on earth but was not accepted. However, God takes mercy upon every soul and will not abandon it .... But the human being has free will and this alone determines the soul's fate when it departs from its mortal body ....

Darkening of the mind before Jesus Christ .... Moses .... (see also Book 82 NR. 7807)

B.D. 7804 from January 22nd 1961, taken from Book No. 82

The spirit will give you the understanding if you allow it to express itself. Then the right thoughts will arise in you, you will become enlightened, you will not need to brood and yet be satisfied with your mental results because they were not conveyed to you by the intellect but by the spirit. Yet My spirit can only manifest itself in you when you have found salvation through Jesus Christ .... You must acknowledge Him, you must have asked for forgiveness of your past guilt and thus also acknowledge Me in Him, which initiates your return to Me and, through the bond with Me, the spiritual spark in you has also united with the father-spirit, which now teaches you and makes knowledge accessible to you which you would otherwise never be able to acquire through your intellect. And now you will also know what is necessary for your soul's salvation, for you will be taught about it by the spirit. You shall be led out of the darkness of the spirit into the light, you shall learn to understand what was incomprehensible to you until now .... Above all you shall learn to recognize the nature of your God and creator, because I desire your love and because only a true image of Me can kindle love in you. And thus you should know that My nature is love, wisdom and might .... that I am a supremely perfect being Which deserves your love, Which certainly stands above you and yet wants to be united with you because I love you and because you emerged from My love. You should know of My perfection, then you will also learn to love Me, you will reciprocate My infinite love for you and long to return to Me from Whom you once originated. But now consider that I had to die for you on the cross first, that you had to be redeemed before you could muster the willpower to consciously take the path back to Me, to consciously strive towards Me .... You first had to be redeemed from your original sin before My Spirit could work in you and give you information about My nature .... before My death on the cross people did not recognize My perfection; a God of love, wisdom and power was alien to them .... they only knew a God of wrath, a God of power, Who only ever punished when people sinned .... They only saw in Me the "judge", Who was without mercy .... For they did not recognize Me. And it was not possible to give them true knowledge, for they were in spiritual darkness, their thinking could not be enlightened by the spirit, they were not redeemed and were under the spell of sin, the darkening of the spirit, the clouding of thinking, which meant inner darkness .... They did not know about My true nature, for the prince of darkness determined their thinking and reasoning, he controlled their intellect and presented Me to people as a being of wrath, Who mercilessly beat people, Whom they had to fear .... And only after My crucifixion was a light able to shine and illuminate the dark night, for the light of eternity Himself had ascended to earth .... O could you humans believe that you have entered a completely new phase, that the way back to Me was now free and that you therefore no longer need to look back and remember the time before Jesus Christ, when deepest darkness still lay spread over people because they still languished under the burden of original sin and only a few hoped for salvation from the coming messiah, whose thoughts were turned towards Me and therefore the coming of the messiah had also been announced to them .... And therefore it is also meaningless to you humans of the present time what took place on earth in the man Jesus before My descent to earth, for I Myself put an end to this time, through My act of salvation I Myself initiated a new phase on this earth, and all of you need only let yourselves be redeemed by Me in Jesus Christ and you will be allowed to recognize in the fullest light as well as My spirit can instruct you .... And you will experience what is necessary for your soul's salvation, for as soon as you are redeemed all darkness will fall from you and all your thoughts and aspirations will only be directed towards your divine redeemer Jesus Christ, in Whom I Myself was embodied .... and you will recognize Me Myself in Him and thus have returned to Me again, from Whom you once came forth ...._>Amen

Words of inspiration for vineyard work ....

B.D. 7805 from January 23rd 1961, taken from Book No. 82

The gift of grace you receive also obliges you to pass it on .... For it is not only given to one person but I want to address all people through this one person, because they cannot hear My direct address but urgently require My word if they are still to be saved before the end. And therefore I will assist you in every way so that you can carry out your vineyard work, so that you can spread My word as I deem it successful. For I know which souls are still open to My word, and I will truly convey My word to them through you as soon as you are willing to serve Me. Therefore only ever carry out what your heart urges you to do .... Do what seems right to you after you have commended yourselves to Me and asked for My blessing .... Then your thoughts will always be rightly directed, then you will only carry out My will and I will bless you .... Admittedly, there will only ever be a small flock which you can thus address with My word, for their hearts are not always open; but since I wrestle for every single soul so that it will still find its way to Me before the end, I will also guide My word to wherever such a soul is, and you will often have to take the strangest paths in order to reach them. But you are always under My guidance, or also: I Myself open the doors for you through which you shall enter; I Myself open up all possibilities for you to deliver My word, and you will also be joyfully accepted if you bring them My word, which they recognize as a precious gift of grace and therefore willingly accept. Therefore be immeasurably active in your work for Me and My kingdom, and don't fear a decrease in strength as long as you serve Me .... For as long as I need you as My mediators to address people through you, I will also keep you fit for your mission, and as long as you are under My care, you will not go any path alone, you will constantly be guided and need only trustingly hand yourselves over to Me .... and I will take over every spiritual and earthly worry for you, so that you can freely and light-heartedly carry out the vineyard work for which you have made yourselves available to Me. For people must hear My word, they must experience what I want from them, they must get to know Me as their God and father so that they will also show love towards Me .... People must be given spiritual knowledge which can help them attain beatitude .... yet they are left with the free will to accept and evaluate My word .... Yet as soon as you create the opportunity for Me that people will hear My word their will can also turn to Me, and then there will no longer be any danger that they will go astray. But the end is near and the time is only short .... Therefore work with all diligence; work while it is still day, for the night will come when you cannot work ...._>Amen

Joint action at the time of the battle of faith ....

B.D. 7806 from January 24th 1961, taken from Book No. 82

And a spiritual community will form which is active in My will when the time of the battle of faith has come .... People will come together who are of the same spirit, whose will is turned towards Me and who will also confess Me before the world. For these receive strength from Me and cannot help but proclaim My name because they are fully permeated by My spirit, because their faith is a living one, full of power and full of strength. Therefore this time of the battle of faith need not give you, who want to be Mine, cause for fear and worry, for you will be stronger than them, you will not fear them but your courage of confession will increase because the more eagerly you stand up for Me and My kingdom the more strength will come to you. And you will recognize each other, for love will bring you together, I Myself will direct your paths and guide you so that you will find the way to each other, and you will transfer the strength within you to the other, a holy fire will glow through you, for you know what is at stake, you also know that the end is near and that My coming is also to be expected soon. And this will strengthen your courage so that you will joyfully confess that you belong to Me, that you would also be willing to lay down your life if I demanded it of you. But I want to grant you My protection because I need you, because many weak souls shall still be lifted up by you, because you shall proclaim Me as your divine redeemer, Whom all people need if they want to become blessed. For My adversary wants to eradicate this faith from people, that is his last aim on this earth which he strives for and tries to achieve by brutal means. And therefore you should stand up for Jesus Christ, you should loudly confess His name before the world .... And you will also be able to do so, for anyone of living faith is also strong and fearless in the face of the world, anyone of living faith also has knowledge and can therefore also make the right decision, for he knows what hour has come .... He knows that the time will come when My adversary will be bound again because he openly opposes the faith in God in Jesus Christ and thereby exceeds his authority. And therefore you humans should strive to attain a living faith, you should live a life of love which alone gives birth to living faith, and you should awaken the spiritual spark in you to life through love, which will then also give you a bright light so that you will recognize and living faith will then also be the result of recognition .... Prepare yourselves for this time, for it requires great strength from you. And therefore also request this strength beforehand, for I will bless everyone who only has the will to belong to Me and to remain Mine forever .... He will truly then also receive the strength from Me to endure until the end, and he will joyfully confess My name before the world .... And he will belong to those who experience the end and whom I will rapture so that he may experience the joys of paradise on the new earth, for then all struggle will come to an end, there will be peace on earth and harmony and bliss ...._>Amen

Moses .... Prophets in the old testament .... (see also Book 82 NR. 7804)

B.D. 7807 from January 25th 1961, taken from Book No. 82

You may never doubt My love, for I am not only your God and creator but also your father, from Whose love you emerged. And it is My fundamental love which can never change, which will never diminish and which therefore only needs to be recognized in order to be reciprocated. But the fact that you do not recognize Me in My love, that you are far more inclined to regard Me as a God of 'wrath' Who unjustly and mercilessly condemns when His creations have sinned against Him, is a consequence of your past sin of rebellion against Me .... When you reversed yourselves in your nature, which was pure love, you were also no longer able to recognize Me Myself, for all your thoughts were wrongly directed .... They deviated from the truth, they could no longer grasp anything correctly, and My adversary ensured that this darkening in you became ever deeper by fighting against all truth, because it was in his plan to plunge you into complete ignorance of Me in order to prevent your return to Me .... to dethrone Me, above Whom he had exalted himself and was the first to fall away from Me. As long as you had not been redeemed from this original sin it was impossible to recognize Me and My nature correctly, and therefore you also fell into ever greater sins as a human being, you rebelled against Me, you sinned against your fellow human beings, and through all these sins you yourselves had conjured up a state that you had become increasingly more enslaved by My adversary, who now dominated you and increasingly more incited you to sin. My love was no longer able to support you, for you had become completely inaccessible to it, and now only laws could be given to you by the 'almighty deity' to ensure your existence on this earth in the first place, for My adversary wanted to destroy because he believed that he could thereby snatch My power away from Me. And these laws only ever demanded that you humans acknowledge a 'power' over you, for you were no longer able to recognize and acknowledge 'love' as a result of your sin. But people whose hearts were particularly hardened did not want to bow to this power either, because they were influenced by the one to whom they had submitted themselves and whom they acknowledged as their 'lord'. My will was switched off in all these people, there was no possibility for their God and creator to make Himself heard, for they completely belonged to My adversary. And only the children of Israel still knew Me as 'God and creator', Whose power they acknowledged and feared .... which is why I always led them out when they fell into the power of others and called upon Me in their distress. Nevertheless, they did not recognize Me as a God of love, as their father, because they were darkened in spirit as a result of the sin of their past apostasy and this great guilt of sin first had to be redeemed before they could be brought the light in which they also recognized Me as their 'father'. And if I allowed prophets to arise amongst those peoples, they were 'driven' by My spirit .... They had to speak what I wanted to say to people through their mouths, but it was not their own light which shone forth in them, yet it was able to bring about a change of heart so that people now sought their God and creator and then I also let Myself be found by those who were of good will. However, people were only able to recognize Me as 'love' after My crucifixion, after Jesus Christ's act of salvation, which meant the redemption of their original sin and then the light broke through in those who lived love themselves. For the strength to do so now came to them from the grace of the act of salvation. But then they also recognized My true nature, which is love, wisdom and power in itself .... Then they themselves were permeated by the light of realization .... And then it was also possible for them to distinguish truth from error, which will always creep in where the darkness of spirit was unmistakable ...._>Amen

Love in just measure ....

B.D. 7808 from January 26th 1961, taken from Book No. 82

I, too, am bound by the law of eternal order. My being is perfect, and thus all qualities must be in Me in the highest perfection, and this is the law of eternal order. A deviation from it would be equal to a state of deficiency, a reduction of perfection, which is completely unthinkable in My nature. Therefore I have to look at everything from this most perfect being of Mine, and I Myself could never deviate from what applies as the law of eternal order. And this is: Love in just measure .... Hence I cannot, out of 'love', bestow beatitude upon My living creations which have degraded themselves, because then the just measure would be exceeded and I would violate My law of order, which, however, is impossible in view of My perfection. My love is truly so great that it would like to make all My creatures happy without limit. Yet the perfection of My nature also sets limits to My love and restrains its effect, otherwise love could also cause harm, because everything has to take effect according to law. And My law of order will always remain the same, it will never change because it is based on My supremely perfect nature. And thus you humans must regard everything as testifying to supreme wisdom and love, even if you yourselves are unable to recognize it in the events which affect yourselves or your fellow human beings, for everything is based on the law of eternal order .... Nothing wrong can be done on My part, and even permissions only testify to My love and wisdom once their effects are recognized, which have rescinded a violation of the eternal order .... And thus a state of suffering on earth can also be regarded as a proof of love on My part, Who wants to help you but observes the law of eternal order, that love must have a just measure in order to testify to My supremely perfect nature. For I am also bound by the law of order, or also: This law emerged from My perfection which can never change. You humans don't know all correlations and therefore you often only judge purely humanly, whereas wonderful solutions will arise in the spiritual world once you have entered it and then you will look back with gratitude on your earthly life, the course of which has sometimes been incomprehensible to you .... But then you will no longer be able to doubt one thing: My immense love .... and then you will also know yourselves that the law of divine order can only be based on this love. And thus I was never able to redeem the original sin out of My love, but My justice also had to be atoned for, otherwise love would not have expressed itself in a just measure .... All qualities are anchored in highest perfection with My nature, and they cannot be arbitrarily switched off if love wants to show itself unusually. This love also has its law within itself, and in order not to violate the law the man Jesus fulfilled the 'law' .... by paying tribute to justice and redeeming the great guilt through His death on the cross. And I accepted this substitutionary atonement because My infinite love was able to participate in it without violating the law .... It was love which now redeemed the guilt, for a being of light offered Himself to walk the earth in a human being and to serve the eternal love as an abode .... And this human being made atonement through immense suffering and torment, and the law was fulfilled, the eternal order was observed. I gave nothing of My perfection, and the souls redeemed through the death of the cross will one day recognize in the spiritual kingdom the immeasurable love I have for My living creations and that this love will never act against the law of divine order because this is impossible ...._>Amen

Selfless vineyard work ....

B.D. 7809 from January 27th 1961, taken from Book No. 82

And you were given the task to spread My Word which is conveyed to you from above by Me .... I truly want to smooth the way for you, I want to help you take My Word to wherever people hunger and thirst for it. For I know whose hearts will not reject My Word when it is offered to them. And thus you only ever do the work which you are capable of doing and should know that I Myself will arrange everything else that serves the distribution of My Word. For this much is certain, I do not convey My Word to earth without purpose, even if it occasionally seems to you that the spiritual information does not fulfil any real purpose ....

You should only patiently and with perseverance cooperate and carry out the work which has to be done by people, because I cannot affect all people directly and therefore need you to serve Me as mediators; for not all people would allow Me to have a direct effect on them, and yet they, too, shall receive My Word in order to enable their souls' maturity. And time and again opportunities will arise when My remarkable work with you can be mentioned; there will be receptive hearts who recognise that it is an extraordinary gift of grace and gratefully offer to assist in My vineyard, and whose willingness to help is gladly accepted by Me. For only love will achieve spiritual success. Therefore don't believe that you can attain such where this love is missing. Don't believe that I will give My blessing for an undertaking that clearly betrays the spirit of worldly interests ....

My Word shall speak to the heart, and I can truly find other ways than the way people in the midst of the world want to take .... For they are not interested in My Word, they are still worldly minded, and therefore they will not contribute towards the spreading of My Word which shall have a liberating effect from the world .... The human hearts which shall accept My Word must have conquered the world already, just as My fellow workers on earth must have overcome the world in order to be able to work for the benefit of their fellow human beings. Thus worldly minded people cannot be accepted as labourers in My vineyard, for they will never work in accordance with My will but pursue their own interests, since they are driven to do so by the lord of the world, to whom they still belong. But I have enough means and ways to achieve My objective even without such 'assistants'. Love always has to be part of it if success is to be achieved, and love will also recognise My Word as an invaluable gift of grace and therefore also support it.

And thus you will also recognise your true fellow workers who gladly offer their help, and you will not hesitate to accept their help; and you will also know that My blessing only rests on your work when all of you carry it out with love and don't expect any worldly benefits from it .... For as you receive it you shall also pass it on; as My love has an effect on you, your love, too, should have an effect on your fellow human being. And this happens when My Word is unselfishly distributed, which is conveyed to you from above and, as the most valuable gift of grace, shall impart help and strength to people in their spiritual adversity during the last days, so that they will endure until the end ....

Amen

Low spiritual level ....

B.D. 7810 from January 28th 1961, taken from Book No. 82

A substantial spiritual decline is noticeable amongst humanity. And this will manifest itself ever more distinctly the closer it gets to the end. For people consider their God and Creator increasingly less, the concept of faith is becoming ever more unreal to them, they are reflecting ever less often about the meaning and purpose of their earthly life and are therefore also increasingly less willing to acknowledge a spiritual kingdom, because they only live for this earthly kingdom and content themselves with what the world has to offer. Hence, they live on earth completely without purpose; they don't use this last short time of their existence on this earth for their spiritual development and so they make the whole path of preliminary development pointless too, because they will descend into the deepest abyss again when the end of this earth has come, because even in the kingdom of the beyond they would hardly achieve progress since they are and will remain thoroughly unenlightened. And since the majority of people are in this spiritual state, no change is to be expected on this earth and God will have to implement a change so that the path of higher development can be continued by the spiritual substances which are still bound in the works of creation on earth, which have not reached the stage of human beings yet. For their further development will also be at risk once the human race has become totally unspiritual and, in its ignorance, will often even take the opportunity to progress away from these spirits. Consequently, this state amongst humanity provides the reason for a total spiritual and earthly change, which you humans are facing. Were you to live according to lawful order, then spiritual progress would be guaranteed for all spiritual beings, which, partly constrained, partly in freedom, live on earth. But then there would not be such a low spiritual level that people would walk about completely without faith and do nothing at all for their soul which, in the state of a human being, should mature fully in order to enter the spiritual kingdom as a free being in light and strength ....

People have handed themselves over to God's adversary, they are enslaved and only comply with his will, and that means that they exist entirely without love, that they are spiritually unenlightened and don't use their earthly life to spiritualise their soul. And therefore this state has to be brought to an end, order has to be restored once more so that the earth will become a school for the spiritual being again which, embodied as a human being, goes through the last stage of its development. And the adversary's activity will have to be brought to an end by God .... This is therefore the reason why you humans are approaching the end of this earth, and it will be pointed out to you time after time so that you will still change after all and become aware of your actual purpose of life. Without God you will go astray and will have to languish for an endless length of time once again at this distance from God, which only signifies profound wretchedness for the spiritual being which once originated from God .... You ought to still look for God as long as you have the opportunity on earth, and He will certainly allow Himself to be found by you. And you need only once seriously dwell on yourselves; you only need the will not to have lived your earthly life in vain .... And thoughts will surely arise in you which will provide you with a small light. Yet you cannot attain beatitude against your will, against your will you cannot become enlightened .... And if your hearts are hardened then you cannot be spared the renewed banishment, which is the fate of all of those who do not believe in a God and Creator, to Whom they owe their earthly life and to Whom all power is given in Heaven and on Earth .... Then they will approach their downfall with certainty, for the time will quickly come to an end, the earth will soon be shaped anew so that it will fulfil its purpose again: to help the spiritual beings attain full maturity, as is their destiny ....

Amen

Love one another ....

B.D. 7811 from January 30th 1961, taken from Book No. 82

One law applies to all of you, that you shall love one another and thereby also prove your common bond with Me. And even if you are bothered by the thought that you have no inner bond with your fellow human being whom you should love, you shall nevertheless remember his soul which is still subject to the constraint of the body, and you shall know that the soul belongs to Me even if its will is still opposing Me. For you are all My children and therefore shall consider your fellow human being as your brother and strive towards the Father together. Love shall unite you, then you will demonstrate that you are children of the same Father. And this love shall stop you from every suspicion or judgment of your neighbour, love shall help you bear his every weakness and fault; you should only ever bear in mind that his soul can still have a low degree of maturity and the human being therefore behaves as he does, even if you dislike it. You should not pass harsh judgments for then you will also motivate Me to judge you in the same way, for not one of you is without fault, not one of you has as yet reached a degree of maturity which excludes imperfections and weaknesses, and yet I endure you with greater than great love and patience and don't pass harsh judgments upon you. And therefore I gave you the commandment: love your neighbour as yourselves .... If you fulfil this commandment of neighbourly love then you will spread a merciful veil across his faults and weaknesses, and you will only ever try to help him and only ever awaken mutual love in him if you let him feel your love.

With these Word I address all those of you who are still inclined to expose your neighbour's faults, for thereby you demonstrate your own lack of love which subsequently gives you no right to judge your neighbour. And by doing so you become sinful yourselves, for you contravene the commandment of love .... Therefore, if you want to be My children you must also make an effort to fulfil the Father's will, which only ever wants you to love one other or else you belong to My adversary, who is devoid of all love and always tries to influence you into opposing the law of love. And do you love your brother if you are angry with him? If you emphasise his flaws and weaknesses, if you judge him harshly? You must learn to endure his weakness and help him .... Then you will carry out My will, and then your conduct will also result in blessings, you will gain him as your friend, he will take your example to heart and will want to emulate you, and his inner being will be full of love for you as well, for love awakens love in response, and then you will also prove that you are the children of the same Father, Whose nature is pure love. And then My love will embrace you ever more closely and your hearts will become increasingly more willing to love, so that they will pass this love on to the next person and then you will indeed be My true children, as it is My will ....

Amen

Lost knowledge through the fall to the deep ....

B.D. 7812 from January 31th 1961, taken from Book No. 82

Light is knowledge .... knowledge of truth .... light is divine wisdom, which can only emanate from God, Who is the light from eternity .... And this light once shone through you when you came forth from God as independent beings .... And you were able to recognize everything, no knowledge was closed to you, you brightly and clearly recognized all correlations, and you were blissfully happy because you stood in supreme wisdom and also recognized that you had come forth from a supremely perfect being, that this being was the creator and designer of you all, Who made you namelessly happy .... This awareness was an extremely blissful state which would never have been lost to you if you yourselves had not voluntarily given it up. For in spite of the brightest light, in spite of the brightest knowledge, you yourselves chose darkness .... You turned away from the source of light, from your creator and father, and you voluntarily turned to a being which itself fell into darkness and also spread this darkness over you .... you voluntarily gave away light and bliss. The state you now found yourselves in would never have changed again, for the darkness held you captive and at the same time you had also forfeited strength and freedom .... You were helplessly exposed to the power of the one who had placed you in this dark state, who was the cause of your fall into the abyss .... And now you humans ask yourselves why the creator of these beings allowed them to fall away from Him, why they gave up the light and sank into darkness .... you ask yourselves why He Himself did not prevent them from distancing themselves from Him, to Whom all power belonged and Whose nature is love and wisdom .... And this question can only ever be answered to you that God's love is so great that He wanted to make the beings even more happy and that His wisdom foresaw from eternity the aim of this fall into the abyss, which consisted of being able to work and create with beings like Him for once, but which He could never place out of His power in this degree of perfection .... because the latter required free will and this therefore had to decide (prove?) itself first. God truly did not force any of His created beings into this fall into the abyss. The beings that fell away were also by no means predetermined .... it would also have been possible for the first-created spirit .... Lucifer .... would have been free to remain with God, for the creator and father of eternity is truly great enough to provide supreme bliss for the beings which remained faithful to Him, and no being needed to take the fall into the abyss but their will was completely free and they chose God or His first-created light bearer .... But the unsurpassable wisdom of God had also included a fall into the abyss in His plan, which was for the creation of right 'children' of God .... a work which the beings have to accomplish themselves but which brings them exceeding great bliss. People will never be able to comprehend this fall into the abyss, for they will also never be able to fathom God's wise plans because they are not capable of doing so in their still imperfect state. For due to the fall into the abyss the being has lost 'realization', the light, the knowledge of all correlations, and you humans are still in this state of darkness, even though you can already become enlightened through the working of the spirit .... But in order to grasp everything you must have already entered the state of perfection again, and then you will only see the aim, which is exceedingly glorious .... Then you will also recognize God's infinite love and His unsurpassable wisdom, and you will know that He can only act well and wisely .... and that He wants to make His beings, which came forth from Him, abundantly happy .... And then you will no longer ask but faithfully wait for your perfection, where light and strength and freedom will create unlimited bliss for you, where you can work as His 'children' with and through Him, as was and is His aim from eternity ...._>Amen

Light of realisation through God's address ....

B.D. 7813 from February 1st 1961, taken from Book No. 82

Understand that you are being enlightened if I educate you Myself. You are on the path of return to Me if you yourselves offer Me the opportunity to speak to you Myself .... be it directly or through My messengers, who bring My Word to you. Then the darkness will recede from you, knowledge will be revealed to you, you will gain realisation of yourselves again, of your origin, your apostasy and your goal .... You will no longer be as spiritually blind as you became through your apostasy from Me. You had separated yourselves from Me, the Eternal Light, and therefore had to be without light .... At first, all awareness was taken from you and you existed in profound darkness, bound by My will in earthly creations, yet only in order to remove you from the adversary's influence .... However, you possessed no light .... And even in the stage of a human being you are still spiritually unenlightened until you give Me the opportunity to illuminate you again with My light .... And that happens when you allow Me Myself to speak to you. Then the state of darkness will gradually change into a state of brightest realisation again, and then you can consider yourselves fortunate, because it is the sign that you are on the path of return into your Father's house, that your goal is not far away anymore and that you will surely reach it too .... The human being on earth does not experience this lack of light because he is satisfied with many different deceptive lights, but they have no radiance and cannot enlighten a person's inner being .... But the time on earth is given to him so that he can dispel the darkness .... so that he can strive towards the light and defeat the darkness of spirit .... and thereby gain realisation. And I Am always willing to kindle a light in you, providing you want to attain the light of realisation. And one such light is My direct address, which you can hear when you desire to become enlightened. But then you will also start to live .... to live a spiritual life which then will never ever end again and which will make you incredibly happy and change you into the being again that you were in the beginning. For as soon as you possess a light you will also take the right path, and this leads upwards, back into your Father's house .... Darkness is the worst state for a spiritual being, because it no longer recognises itself nor Me as its Father and therefore won't strive towards Me either and thus can remain in darkness for an infinitely long time .... But time and again I try to send a ray of light into the human heart which ignites and enlightens the heart from within; that is, I time and again guide a person's thoughts such that he will look for his God and desires light, that he would like to know more about Me and his own relationship with Me .... And then I will indeed kindle a light in him and make the right knowledge accessible to him which will please him and make him desire more information. And once the spiritual darkness is penetrated he will also step out of the night into the bright light of morning, and the sun of the spirit will shine on him and illuminate his path .... And he will find Me without fail and want to join Me again, he will irrevocably unite with Me and in unity with Me once again be blissfully happy in light and strength and freedom as he was in the beginning ....

The right prayer and its fulfilment ....

B.D. 7814 from February 2nd 1961, taken from Book No. 82

The power of prayer is immense as long as you also firmly believe in My love and My might, for you are sure to achieve much if you faithfully entrust yourselves to Me and appeal to Me for help. Only your heartfelt bond with Me is important to Me so that you are so close when you speak to Me that I must also hear you .... For I don't merely want your lips to voice words without having entered into heartfelt contact with Me. Prayer is the bridge you should use frequently, even if you only ask Me to give you the strength for your daily course of pilgrimage .... But I will not deny Myself to you, I will truly fill you with strength so that the bond with Me, which is the purpose and goal of your earthly existence, will become ever deeper. Then your faith will become consistently stronger because your heartfelt bond with Me is the guarantee that I will not refuse you anything and because your faith will become ever more alive in you, for then you will feel Me so close to you that you will experience your God and Father, you will realise His presence and be able to work with His strength .... Your faith can achieve anything, in other words: you know that every prayer in this living faith will also be granted. Through your heartfelt bond with Me you surrender your will to Mine, and whatever you ask for will also always be My will and therefore I can grant you every request. And you should make use of this power of prayer and always know that I love you and want to give you joy. You should not let doubts in My love and power arise in you, for it is limitless ....

And therefore every individual person's life could be an easy one, everyone could spend his earthly life without worry, because nothing is impossible for Me and because My love wants to give you whatever you desire. But once you are closely united with Me you will no longer want anything that might contradict My will, for you may also ask Me to grant you earthly wishes, given that you still live in the midst of the world and have to do justice to its demands and because I do not begrudge you earthly joys if they do not interfere with your spiritual striving. And I can certainly judge this best, and therefore I say to you: By all means step onto this bridge and make use of the power of prayer .... For I want to win all your love and therefore want to make you happy, so that you will keep taking the path to Me, so that you will let Me be present with you in your prayer and thereby the child will unite with its Father and matures in its soul. For I only speak of the right kind of prayer .... of the prayer in spirit and in truth, which always demonstrates the child's correct relationship with its Father. And I said to you 'Ask, and it shall be given to you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you ....' I promised to grant your prayers and yet only ever meant the right kind of prayer from a child to its Father. And a true child will also trust its Father and will therefore never be disappointed ....

Vineyard work has a redemptive effect in the afterlife ....

B.D. 7815 from February 3rd 1961, taken from Book No. 82

You, My messengers, must always appeal for My blessing; you may not tackle any spiritual work without having appealed to Me for My support and My blessing, for you require great support from Me so that you can fulfil your task. Yet I know about your will and am always ready to help, for your work is extremely important since it is to convey My word to people which sounds to you from above. People no longer attach any importance to the book of books; it is nothing more than other books for them, even though it contains the most important things, even though it announces My will and informs people about their purpose of earthly life. But they no longer respect it as 'God's word' or they would live more responsibly. And therefore I want to point them to their earthly task again, I want to proclaim My will to them again, I want to familiarize them with the divine teaching of love and make the knowledge of their relationship with their God and creator accessible to them .... I want to bring them 'My word' again in order to direct their thoughts towards the spiritual kingdom so that their souls will mature in this earthly life. And therefore I need you to pass on My word, which sounds to you directly from above .... to those who willingly accept it, whose hearts I know and whom I therefore want to address through you. And you need strength for this work for Me and My kingdom, but I will gladly impart it to you at any time because you want to utilize it in My will, because you declare your willingness to be active for Me and My kingdom. But you should also never neglect to approach Me for My blessing, for again and again you want to seek Me in close contact; I want you to appeal to Me because I want to grant your requests so that you will also recognize your God and creator as your father Who only ever wants to make His children happy. And I will always be with you with My blessing, I will guide you so that you will always take the right path, I will direct your thoughts so that they are right and pleasing to Me, I will increase your strength so that you will always be able to do the right work for Me, and you should never be despondent that you might lack strength. For you do not know to what extent your strength has a redeeming effect. Yet be satisfied with My assurance that countless souls will receive strength when you are spiritually active. For this is My blessing which rests on your activity, that it is not done in vain, that it has an effect which you are unable to estimate, for the spiritual world knows no limits, and the effect of your activity extends into this spiritual world, and therefore it will also be blessed by Me. Not only do you serve Me, you also serve your brothers and sisters who are still in need in the spiritual kingdom, and they will be eternally grateful to you, for only then will they recognize where they can fetch the true light and truly take advantage of every opportunity to receive spiritual nourishment, which they all need. But they can only be helped by people who intimately unite with Me, so that My strength will now also be made accessible to them through them, because they are not yet mature enough to receive it directly, because the law of eternal order has to be adhered to .... because love has to develop if the unfortunate is to be helped, and thus you offer this love to Me vicariously if you are willing to help the souls which are in spiritual hardship. And for the sake of your love they will also be helped .... And My blessing will rest on every spiritual activity, for this will then also have a redeeming effect ...._>Amen

The right concept of God ....

B.D. 7816 from February 4th 1961, taken from Book No. 82

And it will be revealed to you through My spirit that there is only one God and that this God manifested Himself in Jesus Christ, because He is a Spirit. It was not possible for Me to become visible to My created beings as a limited Being, but in Jesus Christ I became a 'visible' God for all My living creations, and therefore you cannot speak of Jesus Christ and the Father, for I Am one with Him, so when you speak of Jesus Christ you are speaking of Me, your God and Creator, your Father of eternity .... For the infant Jesus sheltered My spirit within Himself, and after His birth I was already remarkably active in Him in order to show the people in His neighbourhood that My spirit dwelt within the infant. The man Jesus exhaled his last breath on the cross .... Jesus body, however, was spiritualised and He rose from the dead .... For all His substances had merged with Me, My spirit had permeated body and soul and nothing human remained in Him .... What arose from the dead on the third day was I Myself, the Father-Spirit of eternity, the God Whom the beings desired to behold and Who had now manifested Himself in the outward appearance of Jesus Christ ....

Jesus Christ is 'God', for I Am a Spirit and thus became visible to all My beings in the shape of Jesus Christ, and you cannot visualise Me in any other way than the divine Redeemer Jesus Christ .... And if you want to call upon Me, if you want to make contact with Me, you have to call upon Jesus Christ, you have to talk to Him, you have to acknowledge Him as your Father of eternity, and then you will also have the right concept of God .... which, however, can never be right if you pray separately to Me as 'God' and to Jesus Christ as 'Son of God' .... The soul which dwelt in the man Jesus was My 'Son' .... a supremely perfect being created by Me which remained with Me when the great apostasy of the spirits took place ....

And this 'Son of God' made it possible for Me to embody Myself in a human shell .... so that the complete merger of the eternal Father-Spirit with Jesus Christ could take place, but then there no longer existed two separate beings but only one God, for the 'divine Spirit', My fundamental nature, utterly permeated the human shell and likewise spiritualised it .... Everything was 'divine Spirit' it was the Spirit which permeates all of infinity and merely manifested Itself in a form visible to people, so that they were able to develop a concept of Me, so that they were able to pray to a Being in order to unite with this Being .... For the original sin of the spirits' apostasy consisted of their voluntary 'separation' from Me because they were unable to behold Me. And thus I provided for them the possibility of willingly joining with Me again by making Myself visible to them in Jesus Christ. But you must never separate 'Jesus Christ' and 'Myself' .... For He and I are one; and whoever calls upon Him also calls upon Me .... whoever sees Him sees Me, Who is and was eternal and shall remain so in all eternity ....

Amen

Love for God must be demonstrated ....

B.D. 7817 from February 5th 1961, taken from Book No. 82

Whatever you do to the least of My brothers you have done to Me. And thus every act of neighbourly love is valued by Me as if you had done love to Me Myself, and I reciprocate this love a thousand fold, for My love for you is boundless and wants to give itself away. And therefore you can gather immense wealth for yourselves through works of unselfish neighbourly love, but the words “I love God” will never suffice for Me, for they have to be proven through works. Now you can love your neighbour spiritually and earthly, for he will always need spiritual and earthly help. Earthly hardship need not always be obvious to you; spiritual hardship, however, exists as soon as the fellow human being does not believe in Me, as soon as he does not recognize his earthly task, as soon as he has only directed his thoughts worldly .... And this spiritual hardship is far greater than the earthly hardship, and then you should help him, you should give him what he needs: You should try to persuade him to believe in Me, you should preach to him about My love, about My everlasting endeavour to win back My children who still belong to My adversary, which is proven by their unbelief in Me. And then you will truly do works of neighbourly love for which I want to bless you. What you do to the least of My brothers you have done to Me. You should take care of his soul's well-being because he, too, is My living creation which I want to win as a child. And therefore you shall always proclaim My teaching of love, you shall speak to all who do not yet know Me, you shall bring My word to them .... you shall give Me the opportunity to address them through you, for they are truly in spiritual distress as long as they are not fed with the bread of heaven, as long as they are not given the water of life so that they can refresh themselves and strengthen themselves for their pilgrimage .... Give them a drink of fresh water, physically and spiritually, and you will truly be rewarded for this service of love, because your neighbour suffers hardship but you can remedy this hardship and satisfy their hunger and thirst. Earthly your neighbour will not always need you but spiritually he will always be in need, for the flock of My own is small and shall still be increased before the end. And I alone know the hardship people are in and that they still have to be helped if I don't want them to get lost. And you shall give them this help because you have the opportunity to address them in My name and because I cannot work on them in an unusual way .... Therefore always remember that you work on My behalf when you convey My word into the world, when you thereby help those who are in spiritual hardship, who have not yet found the path to Me, who are truly poor and need to be fed and watered .... Always remember that you are giving them the right nourishment for their souls in My stead and that these are services of love which the neighbour needs if he, too, is to fulfil his earthly task of which he is not yet fully aware .... And believe that you thereby prove your love for Me, which will truly be rewarded to you as I have promised you .... Think of your neighbour and his spiritual hardship and then you will also find the right path to his heart, you will be able to recite My word to him, you will be able to point out to him the unusual grace in which you yourselves stand, that you are taught by Me directly, and you will cause him to think about himself and his earthly task .... And then you will have already rendered him a service which will not remain without success. For there is great hardship amongst people and everything shall still be done to help them before the end comes. For I want to win every soul for Myself so that it will be released from My adversary and reach its aim on earth ...._>Amen

Renewal of the earth and paradise ....

B.D. 7818 from February 6th 1961, taken from Book No. 82

And the world will have to renew itself, i.e., the earth will bear completely new creations in which everything spiritual is testified to in the righteous order; and people will also live again in the order which underlies everything created by Me .... A new earth will replace the old one, because the latter no longer serves the purpose of being a training station for the spiritual .... And thus a new time will dawn, it will be a turning point spiritually and earthly, a redemption period will be broken off and a new one will begin which will bring much of the fallen spiritual back to Me again .... And this renewal of the earth has to take place, otherwise a standstill, if not a great decline in development is to occur, which is only ever time-consuming for this unfree spiritual substance, which one day shall find its complete redemption from the form. You don't want to believe that you humans of the present time are in this significant time of transformation, for this is an event which has not yet taken place on this earth, i.e. in the period of time which encompasses this last period of redemption, although many phases of development have already preceded it but which you cannot determine in time because this is not necessary for your spiritual development. But you are now facing the end of such an earth period, and you will also still experience unusual signs and things so that you could truly believe in an end of this earth. But as soon as you increase your spiritual knowledge, as soon as you make it possible through your will that you receive spiritual instructions which guarantee you the truth, it will not seem impossible to you that the earth is about to be renewed, because then you will be initiated into My eternal plan of salvation, because then you will grasp the correlations and learn to understand Me and My rule and activity, which is determined by love and wisdom and therefore cannot be anything but good. And you will also realize that people's spiritual low can almost no longer be surpassed and that this already necessitates a change so that a time of upward development will follow again, so that My living creations' return into the father's house is guaranteed. For the earth has a task to help the once fallen creatures to become children of God. And it will fulfil this task again in its new state where everything will be in just order again and where people will also recognize and love Me again and be blissfully happy. For the people on the new earth have proven themselves in their last test and their souls are already in a state of maturity which opens up beatitudes for them, and therefore they can be transferred to the new earth as the stock of the new generation and be teachers again for those who come after them and who are therefore also devoted to Me in love and will achieve their full spiritualization very quickly because satan is bound and can no longer oppress them ..... because the love in them is so strong that the souls mature through this love and need no tempter because they are completely devoted to Me. Hence they need not be tested in their direction of will but have already passed the test because they are conceived in pure, selfless love in My will .... And the new earth will truly be a paradise because everything moves in divine order, because I Myself can be in the midst of My own and because My adversary is bound again for an infinitely long time .... until he, too, will once rise again when the time has come for him to fight for human souls again ...._>Amen

Worldly pleasures? ....

B.D. 7819 from February 7th 1961, taken from Book No. 82

You have been granted a small measure of self-love by Me, and therefore you may also enjoy the pleasures of life as long as they do not affect your soul's salvation. And to recognize this only requires a will turned towards Me, it only requires the firm resolution to live according to My will and to reach your spiritual aim which has been set for you for your earthly life. If this will controls you, that you want to return to Me again, that you don't want to go against My will, then you are also on the path of return to Me, then you have already passed your test of will to a certain extent, you have inwardly professed Me, and then you will also reach your aim because I will support you in every way. And then even the small pleasures you occasionally prepare for yourselves earthly will not harm you. For then you will know exactly how to measure yourselves because you will obey the voice of conscience which warns you against every exaggeration. You can confidently be happy with the happy, you can enjoy your existence if only you always remember your neighbour so that he is not sad while you are happy, for then he is in need and then you should help him .... Therefore I have given you the commandment to love your neighbour as yourselves. And if you observe this commandment then you also have the right to prepare little pleasures for yourselves. And everyone will also know which pleasures are permissible if he is already on the path of spiritual striving, if he does not exclude Me from his thoughts, if he puts salvation before everything else for his soul, for then he can only enjoy things which are no danger for his soul. Then he will have a fine sense if and when he violates My will because he does not want to sin, just as, on the other hand, he will have an aversion of his own accord to worldly pleasures which harm his soul. Love your neighbour as yourself .... This commandment therefore also contains a certain entitlement to a measure of self-love, and you should only ever make sure that you don't exceed this measure. For it also obliges you towards your neighbour, to whom you should then bestow the same measure of love. Therefore, if you no longer had the slightest self-love, then the obligation towards your neighbour would also only be slight. But blessed is he who reduces self-love in favour of his neighbour .... For he truly fulfils My commandment for My joy .... But the small pleasures which you sometimes give yourselves must never be a diminution of your love for your neighbour, and you must also be willing to give them away at any time if you can help your neighbour by doing so. And you will also always recognize what is right and what is wrong as long as you want to maintain the bond with Me with a pure heart .... you will not act against My will, and you will also be protected against temptations of all kinds as long as you seek to fulfil My will alone .... For then you will inwardly resist all such temptations and also receive the strength to resist from Me. For I act like a true father towards you who want to be and remain My children, and a father protects his child from every danger ...._>Amen

Power supply .... love-willingness .... truth ....

B.D. 7820 from February 8th 1961, taken from Book No. 82

The ascent requires strength, for a soul without strength will never reach its aim. However, at the beginning of its embodiment as a human being the soul is without strength, for it first has to develop love within itself and possess knowledge of a God to Whom it can pray and appeal for strength. If the human being is particularly willing to love then he will also quickly attain this knowledge, because love is the reason that he will be taught from within .... that he will therefore have right thoughts as soon as the human being is able to occupy himself intellectually, i.e. once he has matured to such an extent that he thinks and draws conclusions himself. Moreover, in his youth he is mostly taught spiritual things, even though he is not always offered truth. But he becomes .... as soon as he is willing to love .... soon have a good sense of discernment for the spiritual thought material which is offered to him. And he will also seek the bond with God of his own accord and then also receive the strength to ascend to the height. Anyone who does not establish such a bond, who is in no way willing to love, will only live a purely worldly life, all thoughts of a God or an earthly task will remain distant from him, or he will chase them away if he is encouraged by his fellow human beings to make a statement. Thus he is without strength and always remains on the same level, he cannot ascend because he lacks all strength to do so. But it is up to him if he has no spiritual progress to report, for his free will must determine his bond with God and his unselfish activity of love, he is not forced to do so .... And there is no other help for him than that love is preached to him again and again, than that he is repeatedly pointed to a God to Whom he will one day have to answer .... And if truthful knowledge is conveyed to him, then it is possible that it will not remain without impression, because only truth has the right effect on the soul and because through truth the human being can also attain a right image of God Himself, the creator and sustainer of the universe, and then the desire can also arise in him to unite with this God and creator. Only truth has the power to influence the human being in the right way, although free will remains with him. And therefore it is extremely necessary that pure truth is conveyed to people and that these .... as soon as it is conveyed to earth by God Himself .... must also be made accessible to people, for it alone can still bring salvation to people whose hearts are too unwilling to love to come to the right realization on their own and seek the bond with God. But this is necessary because the human being needs the supply of strength from God in order to ascend and reach the aim. And it is a great blessing if a person is able to pray correctly .... which, admittedly, first requires faith in a God Who can and want to help .... A right prayer will always earn the person strength, and the supply of truth can also cause the person to pray such a right prayer .... And then he cannot get lost either once he has found the right bond with God; then he will not remain powerless but will always be allowed to experience God's love anew, Who does not want to lose any soul and therefore does everything to help the human being attain the right faith, which then is also a guarantee for a close bond with Him and for a safe ascent to the height ...._>Amen

God sets increased graces against the work of the adversary ....

B.D. 7821 from February 9th 1961, taken from Book No. 82

The power of the adversary in the end time is great, but only because you humans yourselves grant him this power. His appendix .... thus everything spiritual that still walks the earth unredeemed as a human being .... supports this power itself as soon as it is active in his will, as soon as it allows itself to be influenced by him, who can only exert his influence on its soul in time as a human being. However, as soon as the human being resists him he also has no power over him, for spiritual coercion is impossible for him since it concerns the human being's free decision of will. Hence you can never say that you were overpowered by God's adversary against your will, but if you allow yourselves to be influenced by him and misused for evil activity, then this is your free will .... You therefore strengthen his power .... And this becomes more and more apparent the closer the end is. You don't resist his influence, you are always willing to give in to his urging, and therefore you strengthen his power which he now uses in the most shameful way by increasingly trying to dissuade people from believing in God, by driving people to most shameful deeds. And the human being does not defend himself .... and yet could do so if only he would call upon Jesus Christ for help against him .... Such a call will never be in vain, the human being will receive strength to resist, he will recognize the evil which wants to pull him down, he will resist and, once he has made this attempt, he will turn to God ever more in order to get free from the adversary. But only a few people seek help from Jesus Christ. Few only recognize the adversary's game and seek to prevent it .... He has the upper hand, people have mostly fallen prey to him, and therefore the apostasy from God, the apostasy from faith in Jesus Christ as divine redeemer, is becoming ever greater and more obvious, for this is the adversary's ultimate aim, to deprive people of all faith. And his increased activity in the last days is the reason why God also pours out increased grace upon people in order to help those who do not want to surrender to the adversary but are severely oppressed. They receive grace upon grace, they are given strength to resist and God Himself stands by their side so that they need not succumb .... This is why God also addresses people .... He lets His word reach them again, He speaks to them through the mouth of a servant, and He gives them extraordinary strength through the supply of His word. And thus every person can free himself from the adversary's power who only seriously wants it. For the human being's will is decisive, the will alone curtails the opponent's power or strengthens it, and the human being's will is free. But the human being must also request the strength to resist in order to thereby give expression to his will which is directed towards God .... He must seek the connection with Jesus Christ and remain in this connection, because then he is also connected with God Himself, Who embodied Himself in Jesus Christ .... For God and Jesus Christ are one .... And as soon as you humans only believe this you will also constantly request strength and never be at the mercy of the adversary's will to destroy, for Jesus Christ .... Whom you now acknowledge .... has overcome him, and to His power he must give way. And he will also have to let go of you as soon as you hold on to Jesus Christ, for if you stand on His side then the adversary will have lost you to Him irretrievably, then God Himself will fight on your side and you will be victorious and no longer need to fear him, he will let go of you because he flees God and His light ...._>Amen

Prerequisite for the 'outpouring of the spirit' ....

B.D. 7822 from February 10th 1961, taken from Book No. 82

The outpouring of the spirit requires certain conditions to be fulfilled, because My spirit can only pour into an open receptacle which has been prepared such that My spirit will be able to flow into it. This preparation, in turn, requires psychological work which the person must have carried out on himself, with other words: The human being must have prepared an abode for Me, because My presence is absolutely necessary in order to be able to express Myself through My spirit. Although the spiritual spark rests dormant in every person it must first be awakened to life, the relationship with the eternal Father-Spirit must be established first, before it can express itself. And this bond will be established, the spiritual spark will come alive, when the human being lives a life of love, when he, through loving actions, draws Me Myself to himself, Who is Love Itself .... Through love, the human being has to purify his soul from all layers which cannot be penetrated by light, then he prepares himself, he shapes himself into a receiving vessel for the divine spirit, he fulfils the conditions which result in an outpouring of the spirit. And he must believe that My spirit flows into him, that the Father wants and is able to speak to His child .... And again, he will only believe this if he shapes himself into love .... for only when he believes in a working of My spirit within himself will he also attentively listen within to what this spirit communicates to him. As long as this belief is missing, he will never be able to speak of a 'gift of the spirit', he will simply not awaken the dormant forces within him and, thus, they will not be able to express themselves either, although they are present in him. Love will, however, soon enlighten his thinking, this is why a loving person will also soon be able to believe if his striving is spiritually-orientated, and he tries to live in accordance with My will.

Yet My spirit will not push itself to the fore .... no human being will ever hear the voice of My spirit who has not consciously established a bond with Me in order to hear Me .... For it requires him to listen inwards if he wants to hear Me and receive instructions full of wisdom, which only My spirit can impart to him. And precisely this belief in the working of My spirit has been lost by people so that they look at a completely natural process, which was only intended to demonstrate My great love for people, with utter incredulity, even though I Myself gave them a promise to stay with people and to guide them into all truth .... They don't understand this promise or they would believe in it and grant greater significance to My Word which sounds to them from above or is passed on to them through My messengers .... My spirit merely requires a prepared vessel so that it can pour into it .... Then, however, He will also give evidence of Himself, It will speak to you like a Father speaks to His children, and He will enlighten you whenever you desire to be taught by Him. But He cannot express Himself where love and faith are missing, where the human being has not carried out the work of improving his soul by shaping himself into love and having already discarded all impurities of his soul. For I can only take abode in a pure heart full of love which can bear My presence .... However, wherever these prerequisites are present that is where I dwell and testify to My presence .... I pour out My spirit over all flesh .... I teach and comfort, I guide people into truth, I remain with them until the end of the world ....

Amen

Blessing of the vineyard work ....

B.D. 7823 from February 12th 1961, taken from Book No. 82

And consider this a spiritual success if you are asked to convey My word to those who do not receive it directly from Me. For every person who desires to be addressed by Me is also on the path to Me, and I can also influence him, and I can also send him strength which will always help him further in his development. And this is why it is so extremely significant if you succeed in pointing your fellow human beings to My word, if you once make it possible for My word to sound to them through you .... if you can motivate your fellow human beings to immerse themselves in My word so that the strength from Me can overflow, for then the desire to hear My word again and again will also be awakened. And then a real spiritual success can be recorded, for the human being's bond with Me has been established through his desire to hear Me. You don’t know what your cooperation means in My plan of salvation. What I cannot do Myself you can do if you once enable Me to speak to you .... It is then your own will that determines whether your heart will open itself to My address. But the beginning has been made. The fellow human being's thoughts will first be directed towards an unusual event which he will then deal with. But it all happens without coercion .... For even My adversary cannot forcibly influence the human being's will not to listen to Me. It is all his free will which, however, will always receive support as soon as I recognize the slightest devotion to Me. There are not many who desire My address, and there are not many who accept My gift of grace from you .... And yet, this should not discourage you in your vineyard work, for you yourselves don't know that all spiritual work draws wide circles around you .... And you also don't know what effects My word can have again which are hidden from you. And My word cannot pass away either, My word will remain in existence for all eternity .... It is full of strength and will therefore emanate its power again and again, regardless of whether on earth or in the spiritual kingdom .... For My word also resounds everywhere where I-conscious beings are .... My word permeates all of infinity, for I Myself am the word, and I will let My strength emanate wherever it is needed. Only there must always be receptive beings which open themselves and accept the flow of strength from Me .... My word must not find any resistance, it must be accepted willingly, no matter in which way it sounds. And when the ground on earth is well prepared for Myself by My servants so that I can scatter My seed .... when My messengers bring My word to willing people on My behalf, then such a great blessing can be expected from it that none of My vineyard labourers need become disheartened, for once My word has touched a person's heart he will not want to miss it again forever, and then he will also be an eager proclaimer of My word himself, for the strength which emanates from My word impels him into constant activity, it will not let him rest, and the work of salvation will take its course according to My will, yet without any coercion. And this is the blessing of every spiritual activity, that it demands the bond with Me, that My strength can now constantly work, that My word now finds entrance into many human hearts which do not reject it, and that these are also saved from ruin .... that they take the right path to Me and to eternal life ...._>Amen

The endless-long walk of the fallen original spirit ....

B.D. 7824 from February 13th 1961, taken from Book No. 82

The path of development of the fallen spiritual extends over endless times because the resistance was so great before the spiritual could be banished into the firmest matter and the dissolving of this already required endless times. As a result the material cover became increasingly looser but there were an infinite number of deformations through which the spiritual had to pass, for in its dissolved substances it animated every work of creation for a certain time, which will one day be evident to the spiritually-able-to-see in the shaping of the soul .... The further the development progressed, the quicker the spiritual substance could leave the respective form again, for the form which enveloped it became increasingly lighter and looser until finally all particles of a fallen original spirit had gathered again to animate the last form of the human being as a 'soul' .... It is certainly possible to speak of eternities which such a course of development has taken, but one day it will also come to an end, one day the soul will have reached the stage where it can embody itself as a human being, where it will regain ego-consciousness and free will. But this last time as a human being is only a moment in time compared to the previous course through the whole of creation .... But now the last decision is demanded of the once fallen original spirit: the recognition of God in free will, Whom he once did not want to recognize as his God and creator .... And it is truly made easy for the human being to make the right decision of his free will. But the will is not forced .... And now, during his time as a human being on earth, he will be worked on again by God's adversary whom he had once followed into the abyss .... And this one again seeks to take away or destroy people's faith in a God and creator in order to be able to continue to keep his former following for himself. Nevertheless, the human being is not without help, for his God and creator also struggles for his soul because His infinite love wants to win him back again. And He truly does everything to make the human being's decision easy .... He reveals Himself to him as God and creator in every way and also conveys the knowledge to him .... Yet He also respects the human being's free will, He also does not force him to make the right decision .... But man has already reached a certain maturity so that it is possible for him to make the right decision, and he is constantly cared for by the love of God .... For God's love reveals Itself to him again and again in order to also win the human being's love. Hence the short time as a human being can bring the former original spirit full redemption from the form, because the act of salvation has been accomplished for him, which brings him strengthening of will if only he acknowledges the divine redeemer Jesus Christ .... for then he also acknowledges God Himself in Jesus Christ, and his will has made the right decision. And therefore it is the most important thing in earthly life that the human being finds Jesus Christ, that he hands himself over to the divine redeemer and appeals to Him for strengthening of will, for forgiveness of his original sin and for His constant help for his earthly path .... And truly, he will cover his earthly life with success, he will return to God again from Whom he once originated, for he has already found Him with the acknowledgement and faith in Jesus Christ and His act of salvation. But he must not pass Him by, for without Him and His act of salvation he will not be eternally rid of his form, he will fall back into the abyss and have to start his path of development again, and he will delay it again for an infinitely long time until he is in the stage of free will again and decides correctly .... which therefore takes eternities but can also be achieved in the short time of earthly life. Yet he will never be without assistance, for God's love pursues him and seeks to shorten his path, and the being need only give up its resistance and acknowledge Him .... and it will become free from all form ...._>Amen

Revealing Jesus and His mission ....

B.D. 7825 from February 14th 1961, taken from Book No. 82

And the gate to eternal life has been opened to you through the redemptive work of Jesus Christ .... You would never have been able to enter through this gate, for the kingdom of light was inaccessible to the beings of darkness, and you will remain in darkness until the original sin which plunged you into this kingdom of darkness has been removed from you. But you are My share and I will not let go of you forever. But first you have to reshape yourselves into love, and if you have love in you, you will also push towards Jesus, Who is your redeemer, and at the same time also towards Me, Who was in Him, Who became a visible God for you in Jesus Christ. But as long as people do not know that their former apostasy from Me is the reason for their existence as human beings on this earth .... as long as they don't know that they are on their way back to Me from the abyss and only need to make use of Jesus Christ's final help in order to be completely united with Me again .... as long as they will not consciously use their earthly life as a human being for their change of nature, for the change into love. And then the earthly path can also be covered in vain. And therefore again and again people will receive information about Jesus Christ, the divine redeemer, for they must have found Him as long as they still live on earth as human beings, otherwise they will not be able to enter the kingdom of light and beatitude when their earthly life is over. Admittedly, He can still be found in the beyond if the soul is willing and calls to Him for mercy. But it is far more difficult for the soul to accept an instruction on the other side if it has rejected Him on earth. But I want you to enter My kingdom after your physical death, and therefore I repeatedly show you the path you have to take: the path to the cross .... Only through Golgotha will you reach eternal life, only through the acknowledgement of Jesus and the act of salvation, through earnestly asking for forgiveness of your guilt, will the path to the kingdom of light become free for you, to My kingdom, where I Myself await you as your saviour and redeemer, where you can see Me face to face .... And when you humans are given information about Jesus Christ, the son of God and redeemer of the world, then don't close your hearts but accept what I Myself want to impart to you about Him, in Whose shell I once walked across the earth in order to build a bridge for you from the kingdom of darkness into the kingdom of light. Desire in your heart to hear the pure truth about Him and the act of salvation, and truly, I will send it to you so that you will turn to Him and thus also take the path back to Me, Whom you acknowledge in Jesus as your God and father of eternity, if you are correctly informed about His mission on earth. Without Jesus Christ there is no salvation, without Him there is no redemption, without Him there is no light and no bliss. But I want you to become blessed, and thus I will repeatedly point you to Him, I will guide you to the truth Myself, I will reveal to you the knowledge about your sinful state and the only way to be able to release yourselves from it .... so that you will come to believe in Him and His mission .... so that you love Him for the sake of His great work of mercy and now also transfer this love to Me, Who was in Him and redeemed you humans from sin and death ...._>Amen

God is Love .... He wants to give happiness ....

B.D. 7826 from February 15th 1961, taken from Book No. 82

Believe that I want to guide you into beatitude .... Believe that you were created by a God of love in order to bestow His infinite love upon you, in order to make you happy, in order to let Himself flow into you. And believe that this love will never end, that it has belonged and will belong to you for all eternity. Then you will know that everything in relation to you only serves to guide you into beatitude. However, you must also realise and believe that you, in the state of a human being, would not be able to endure unlimited happiness and neither can My infinite love give you the degree of happiness I would like to give you .... And you are in this state because you once turned away from Me of your own free will. You closed yourselves to the flow of My love and your nature became imperfect. So you are taking the path across this Earth in order to regain your perfection again, because My love for you is greater than great and tries to make you receptive again for My illumination, as I want to make you happy. Hence, your life on earth is not pointless, instead, it shall result in highest bliss when your soul leaves the body and enters the spiritual kingdom. The earthly realm is only a passageway for your soul into the spiritual kingdom; the earthly realm is only the means for your soul to mature fully, to prepare it for My eternal light of love .... Earthly life is only a short preparation time for you humans in order to attain the state again which you were in when I created you .... For you emerged from My love, you were perfect and constantly permeated by My love which made you indescribably happy. The fact that you forfeited this beatitude of your own free will must be reversed by you of your own free will again, that is, you must voluntarily attain perfection and return to Me once more, for your separation from Me signifies wretchedness but unification with Me unlimited illumination of love and thus supreme happiness. If you are able to believe this while you live on earth, if you accept the information of this, if you want to return to Me and appeal to Me Myself for help, then you will fulfil your purpose of life on earth, for then My love will take hold of you and will never ever let go of you again, because then you will voluntarily have acknowledged Me, Whom you once rejected and therefore changed your nature into the opposite .... The fact that you are still imperfect is the result of your apostasy from Me, but you will attain perfection again if you want it yourselves, for the love I grant you is the strength to implement your will, and so you need only accept My love .... you need only hand yourselves over to Me, which requires faith in Me, and love will also be kindled in you, and it will strive towards Me and seek unification with Me. Just believe that I Am a God of love and that you emerged from this God of love .... and you will no longer doubt that I would like to give you happiness .... Then you will also learn to love Me Myself and your path across earth will lead to the goal. For My love will not rest until it can permeate you entirely. My love wants to please; it wants to make you happy for all eternity ....

Amen

Evaluation of grace .... Address of God ....

B.D. 7827 from February 16th 1961, taken from Book No. 82

You shall receive the graces with which I shower you abundantly, for you can only become blessed through graces .... And again and again you will be allowed to receive graces if only you are willing to make use of them, if only you are willing to accept My help which I grant you in the form of graces. And thus you can also consider everything as grace which helps your soul's ascent development. Every earthly adversity which drives you towards Me is a grace. But you can also remain turned away from Me despite the earthly adversity and then you will have left the grace unused .... Every indication to Me through word and scripture is a grace, and again it depends on your will whether and how you evaluate it .... And thus My direct address from above is a grace of a very special kind, it is an unusual gift of grace because it can also earn the soul an unusual maturity in a short time if the gift of grace is evaluated, if the human being takes My address to heart, if he puts My will into action .... if he is not just a listener but a doer of My word. This grace is quite significant and an exceedingly effective antidote for satan's activity to which he succumbs because My word is a right light from Me which he flees. My word is blessed with My strength and therefore, in the last days before the end, it is the most effective means of grace I can offer you humans to help you. For if you accept My word with a sincere heart then you will also join Me Myself, and in unity with Me nothing can truly happen to you anymore. And even the adversary no longer has any power over you who now walk by My side. But My word can only be heard by the one who unites with Me, and he has also turned his will towards Me .... Therefore he will also make use of every grace I bestow upon him as help for the maturing of his soul. For I especially take care of people in the end time because they are hard pressed by My adversary. They alone are too weak to resist him and need help, which I always grant them in the form of grace. The person of good will will also gratefully accept every help, and thus he will also joyfully accept My word, he will feel My nearness and also recognize My address as the father's voice .... he will feel like My child and therefore also comply with what I place into his heart as My will .... And this is the use of the gifts of grace and the safe maturing of the soul, because I will not leave anyone without help who needs and gratefully accepts them. For you can only become blessed by grace, you must receive help because otherwise you are too weak and because My adversary will still try everything in the last days to make you turn away from Me in order to win your souls, even if they have already surrendered to Me. But he will not succeed in the latter, for whose will I possess I also possess completely and will never ever let him sink back into the adversary's hands. I pour out My gifts of grace abundantly and they are truly very effective, providing the human being's will does not oppose them and nullifies the effectiveness of all graces .... But you humans shall experience My love until the end, which wants to help you and protect you from ruin ...._>Amen

God is a spirit Who has manifested Himself in Jesus ....

B.D. 7828 from February 17th 1961, taken from Book No. 82

You should not imagine your God and Creator as a strictly limited Being, you should not try to associate Him with a form, for then your idea would always be wrong, because something defined can never correspond to My nature, which is utterly perfect, thus infinite. For I Am a spirit Who fills and permeates everything. In My nature I will be eternally unfathomable for My living creations, for although My living creations were externalised by Me in supreme perfection they are nevertheless only sparks of love, emanated by the fire of My Eternal Love and externalised as individual beings who, however, would be unable to behold the eternal source of light and strength if I showed Myself to them in My full abundance of brilliance, since they would perish if they faced the radiating light ....

Yet you need not visualise Me in any other way than as the divine Redeemer Jesus Christ .... In Him I became the 'visible' God for you, in Him the eternal, infinite spirit has manifested Itself, in Him you see Me and are able to behold Him face to face .... Thus I gave Myself a form for you, whom I had externalised from My love and My strength as My living creations .... The Eternal Spirit Who fills all of infinity permeated this form with light and became a visible God for you .... And yet I reign and work throughout all of infinity and thus My Being cannot be limited either, I can only have become a conceivable idea in the form of Jesus Christ for you, who are still finite yourselves, who have not yet attained the highest perfection, for I have to give to you what corresponds to your state, which is still far from perfection.

However, I Am and remain also inscrutable in My nature for the spirits of highest perfection, which, however, is a cause of increased beatitude, because My children constantly strive towards Me, are constantly delighted by Me through My fulfilling of their desire yet never able to reach Me .... and on the other hand may behold Me from face to face in Jesus Christ .... This, too, will remain an enigma to you, and only in the state of enlightenment will you begin to comprehend and yet eternally unable to fathom My nature. To you I appear infinitely far away and yet I Am as close to you as only a father can get to his child. But this awareness makes you immensely happy, and your love for Me increases constantly and is also the cause of bliss, because it always meets with fulfilment.

And thus your love for Jesus Christ will blaze ever more ardently, in Whom you have recognised your Father of eternity and in Whom I bestow unlimited bliss upon you .... For in Him I Am now able to be close to My children, even though I Am not bound to the form, even though I fill all of infinity with My light and My strength, with My Being, which is and remains inscrutable. But you, My living creations, shall look for and find Me in Jesus, for I have chosen Him as the form which received Me; and this once human external form completely spiritualised itself and yet remained visible to every being which attained the state of maturity of spiritual vision ....

Thus you see My eternal spirit when you see Jesus, for He and I are one, you see the Father when you see Jesus, because I wanted to be visible to you, My created beings, in order to gain all your love. Yet you will never be able to behold Me in My infinite abundance of strength and light without ceasing to exist .... But I want to be able to create and work with My children and thus also reveal Myself to them in order to heighten their beatitude .... And I want to experience their love Myself and therefore will always be close to My children ....

Amen

‘Work of the spirit’ and the work of the spirit world ....

B.D. 7829 from February 18th 1961, taken from Book No. 82

You are guided into truth .... Do you understand how significant it is to have the guarantee of living in absolute truth because I Am instructing you Myself? And do not be misled if you are faced by contentions that you cannot be certain that it is I Who speaks to you, or you would even have to dismiss the Book of Books, which clearly refers to My 'working of the spirit' .... But people are already so distant from Me that they no longer know of My spirit's work in a human being .... Although occasionally they indeed look for contact with the spiritual kingdom they are completely without knowledge and therefore in danger of accepting messages which do not correspond to the truth, since they know too little about the 'working of the spirits' who have not yet entered the kingdom of light. They make contact with spiritual regions, with the world of spirits which, in fact, also look for contact with people but only to make themselves heard in order to transfer their misguided, confused thoughts to people, as they did on earth. For as long as they are not in the world of light they do not think correctly, their spirit is still dark and they are only able to pass on wrong concepts to people. And people value such messages from the world of spirits too highly .... But they do not look for the right relationship with Me, which would assure that they receive the truth. 'My spirit will guide you into truth ....' I want to instruct you Myself, and although I speak to you through messengers of light it is still the same, for the truth originates from Me and is passed on to you through My messengers of light. They will never be able to say anything other than is My will nor would they want to, since they receive the spiritual knowledge they pass on to you from Me ....

I Myself instruct you through the spirit .... You humans should comprehend that God Himself speaks to you, do not just dismiss this as impossible .... For you are in direct contact with Me, because you are My living creations, My children, who belong to Me eternally. The Father will always speak to His children providing they want it and fulfil My related conditions for the child to hear the Father's voice. You have to believe that I speak to you, prepare yourselves as a vessel for the flow of My spirit and listen inwardly .... To be able to believe you have to live in love, whereby you prepare yourselves as a dwelling for Me so that I then can be present in you. And if you listen attentively you will hear Me .... And what I say to you is truth, for the Eternal Truth Itself speaks to you, It educates you, and you will learn everything that is necessary for the salvation of your soul. But do you need the voices from the spirit world for this? Be seriously warned not to accept messages as truthful which were not given to you through the 'working of My spirit' .... And avoid those who claim to have contact with the world of spirits .... They are a danger for you because they confuse your thoughts and keep you away from the pure truth. People with already matured souls can certainly have occasional insights into these worlds and exercise their influence on the souls in darkness, but the people on earth will never benefit from seeking contact with the world of darkness. That is why they should avoid such dealings with the spirit world, because they are also My adversary's means in the last days to confuse people's thoughts so that they are unable to appreciate the truth or even reject it, or they take less notice of it than those messages and overlook an invaluable gift of grace .... The truth comes forth from Me Myself, and you humans will receive it if you so desire. However, if you are satisfied with messages which do not originate from Me, if you pay attention to them, then you do not desire truth and will never come to possess it either .... But where 'My spirit is working' there is truth .... For I can only work where the conditions are met, but then I will keep every error at bay, for this is truly within My power .... I want truth to be sent to earth, and I have the power to exercise My will, because you humans live with misconceptions and are therefore in utmost danger .... You humans can only become blessed through truth and therefore have to sincerely ask Me for it .... But then you can also be certain that you will receive it, that I will teach you Myself, as I have promised ....

Amen

Another prediction through God's Word ....

B.D. 7830 from February 19th 1961, taken from Book No. 82

You don't realise as yet what it means to be addressed by Me directly because you human do not believe that your God and Father speaks to you from above .... Your spirit is still unenlightened and therefore you do not deem it possible. Consequently, your concept of God is still very misguided, for you position yourselves completely outside the Power Which created you and are therefore also unable to feel Its love, because you are without love yourselves and thus the working of the Eternal Love is incomprehensible to you. But in just a little while you shall have the evidence that your God and Creator truly speaks and has spoken to you, for you shall experience it yourselves that My constant announcements will fulfil themselves, that you will witness a natural disaster of immense proportions as has never happened on earth before. Time and again I proclaim this event to you without being believed .... but it is My will that you shall be able to believe when these proclamations of Mine prove themselves to be true, for I also want you to believe in the end which will follow shortly afterwards and prepare yourselves for it. All My predictions are only ever intended to encourage you to seriously tackle your task of improving your soul, so that you will make good use of the short time in order to be able to survive the end unscathed, so that you will not go astray again for an infinitely long time .... i.e., so that you will not have to endure the new banishment which will irrevocably threaten you at the end if you have not found your way to Me. I only want to save you humans and not let you fall prey to destruction but I cannot influence you against your will. I therefore speak to you through My messengers and draw your attention to the near end, I admonish you to consider your earthly purpose ....

Time and again I proclaim My divine teaching of love to you, and you would all be able to have faith if only you had the sincere will to achieve the purpose of your earthly life. Yet you go along without any serious thought because you do not believe in the soul's continuation of life. But I cannot do any more than impart the truth to you Myself about your existence and your purpose .... I cannot do any more than speak to you directly through My messengers and so clearly explain everything to you that you would really be able to believe .... Yet you don't want to, and you cannot be compelled to give credence to My Words from above. Nevertheless, you ought to pay attention to all world events, to the state of affairs between people and the obvious low spiritual level. You also ought to be critical of yourselves and in regards to your way of life, and you should reflect on the meaning and purpose of earthly life .... Then you would recognise people's state of mind by yourselves and consider it plausible that this situation cannot remain as it is, that a change will have to happen and then attention will be paid to My Word from above. However, it requires good will for you to arrive at faith, for I will help everyone who wants to ascend from the abyss, who directs his thoughts to Me by trying to recognise what is right and despising what is wrong .... Truly, no better information can be given to you humans than through My Word .... You can really find no better explanation than that which I give it to you Myself by addressing you directly, and you can believe that I Am motivated by the great spiritual adversity to help you humans on earth in any way, that I convey the truth to you, which you don't know because My adversary does and has done everything in order to increase the darkness above you, so that you cannot understand anything properly anymore, so that you don't even recognise the voice of your God and Father Who wants to help and enlighten you before the arrival of the end. Listen to Me when you hear My voice through My messengers, don't reject what they bring to you, because those of you who do not believe are in utmost danger .... and you can still be saved and find faith because the pure truth is presented to you .... And I want to give you the evidence of the truth, because very soon what has been proclaimed for a long time already will be fulfilled .... that the earth will be struck by a powerful natural event such as has never happened before .... And shortly afterwards will follow the end, as it is proclaimed in Word and Scripture ....

Amen

About the incarnation of light beings ....

B.D. 7831 from February 20th 1961, taken from Book No. 82

You should always ask Me for the pure truth and you will not live in error. And once again I refer you to the working of My spirit in you so that you will not run the risk of accepting mental concepts as truth which did not originate from Me Myself. And time and again I also draw your attention to Satan's activity in the last days before the end, who uses every means to fight the truth and who, with cunning and trickery, intends to capture people who are not closely enough in contact with Me since they have already allowed themselves to get entangled in misguided teachings and are unwilling to let go of them. I will send the truth to anyone if only he sincerely desires it ....

When the 'incarnation of light beings' in the last days before the end is mentioned, then this always happens in combination with a spiritual mission, because there is great spiritual hardship on earth and these beings had agreed to help people. And truly, there are many enlightened spiritual beings embodied on earth, which live unrecognised by their fellow human beings and fulfil a mission: to bring people spiritual information or to exemplify a life of love to them, to work for the benefit of their fellow human beings, thus to help them find the right path which leads to Me. But as a rule their task consists of working on My behalf in My vineyard, thus to be true 'representatives of God' .... teachers who are educated by Me Myself, who thus speak in place of Me, who are My true servants. They themselves offered to carry out this redemption work in the spiritual kingdom and were in fact accepted by Me, which necessitated an embodiment in the flesh on this earth.

However, they are unaware of their origin; they do not know the task they had voluntarily taken upon themselves but live their life like any other person on earth, only their free will determines their conduct in life and their work in the vineyard. They don't know of their pre-existence either .... And this is how it must be, because absolute free will should be the driving force .... irrespective of what kind of spiritual mission such a person carries out. It would truly not be beneficial for you to know a person's previous incarnation for it would confuse your thinking, because My adversary recognises people's weaknesses and can easily slip in wherever he detects but a spark of pride. Hence, such embodied beings of light received no knowledge about their origin from Me ....

And yet people claim to have knowledge of it and don't question the source of such knowledge .... And 'My spirit' will never have revealed such information to them either, rather, 'immature spirits' have actively spread misconceptions and portrayed people as embodied beings of light where, in reality, no spiritual mission is recognisable or it would not be founded on lies or misguided assumptions .... The beings of light work in seclusion, or their activity comes so openly to the fore that a mission on My instruction is very clearly evident ....

But they will reject everything which does not correspond to the truth, and they will also recognise and condemn erroneous messages from the spirit realm as lies and deception. For they know the truth and fight for the truth, and not for misguided teachings which come forth from the one who is My adversary. And I can only ever warn you humans about his activity in the last days before the end, for he will do anything in order to invalidate My pure truth, and he will always find approval with those who look for extraordinary things, who are not content with the pure truth they receive from Me .... But I will always grant you clarification again, providing you seriously desire it ....

Amen

The battle of light against darkness ....

B.D. 7832 from February 21st 1961, taken from Book No. 82

Strong errors have been spread in the world, and the battle of darkness against the light is a mighty one, for it is a battle for the souls between Me and My adversary .... He, too, has a right to these souls which once voluntarily followed him to the depth .... yet they emerged from Me, thus also My share, which I will not leave to My adversary without a fight. But the soul's free will decides for itself which lord it will turn to. And every lord tries to win this free will for himself. If the soul in its last embodiment as a human being possessed full light, if it had the same realization as in the beginning, then its will would also make the right decision and push towards Me as its God and father, and I would have won it for eternity .... But it lacks this light as a result of its apostasy from Me, and My adversary's greatest endeavour is to keep the soul in the night of the spirit because then it will not get lost to him. Therefore he constantly fights against the light, that is why this great battle between light and darkness is to be won for the time being. Again and again souls will free themselves from this spiritual night, they will earnestly long for truth and truly find it. But the light could only ever shine sparsely, for again and again My adversary ensured darkening, he fought with all means against the light being able to break through, and his hatred was constantly directed towards those who again and again appeared as bearers of light amongst people who accepted light from Me and tried to spread it. And again and again the adversary retained dominance, for he used means which completely confused people's thinking .... for only darkness secures his possession of the souls, whereas a little light of however little brightness already showed the soul the path to Me .... And what people saw as "light from above" were the works of satan .... they were blinding lights which did not impart any knowledge to the human being, which only plunged him into delusion and let the soul fall ever more into the adversary's power. For people did not seek the light in all seriousness .... they were indifferent and believed blindly .... And therefore My adversary had an easy time with them, and he was also able to hold his ground for a long time .... The darkness became denser and denser, although again and again a light broke through which, however, did not attract much attention. Every human being has the ability to think .... but who uses it in the spiritual sphere? You humans could truly think about many things if you were seriously interested in the maturing of your soul. But you thoughtlessly accepted what you were offered, and this state did not change, which is why a work which was built by satan and which was repeatedly strengthened by him did not collapse. And humanity itself is to blame for this, for I gave people the intellect and they were able to pray to Me .... as long as they believed .... Only a few made use of these blessings and entered into direct contact with Me, while the masses were content with what the adversary offered them, otherwise they would also have recognized his shameful activity, otherwise they would have had to distinguish between the blinding lights and the true light and would have been able to follow the battle of darkness against the light. I always give you a right light, I imparted the truth to you as soon as you contacted Me and desired the truth .... But he always drove you into darkest night .... and you believed because faith was demanded of you, but you put an 'organisation' before 'God' .... You rarely only took the path to Me Myself, and that is why an organisation was able to hold on for such a long time, and it is still untouchable for many people and yet does not give you light but darkens your spirit ever more, for satan rages mercilessly in the last days and his battle is only ever for the light which emanates from Me and wants to put an end to people's subjugated state .... But who pays attention to the light? Again and again people are drawn back into dark areas, for their own free will decides .... But if it is good, it must also find the right light, it must step out of the darkness of night into the light of day, for it then decides for itself the victory of light over darkness. Why are you humans so gullible when it concerns the works of My adversary? And why do you have such difficulty accepting the truth from Me? Why do you unreservedly trust those who have offered themselves for My adversary's service? And why do you doubt when I Myself send a ray of light to earth to help you, to lead you out of satan's snare net? You humans have strengthened the power of it yourselves and thus allowed a work to arise which only aims to confuse your spirit and to keep the pure truth from Me .... And I do not intervene by force because I respect people's free will. But at any time I will release people from its power and also from the darkness of spirit who see the light in Me and seek it .... But then you may no longer turn your eyes back to where darkness still held you captive .... Just hold on to the fact that I am a God of love .... And love will not let anyone get lost who trustingly approaches it; love will not leave you in spiritual darkness, love will only ever want to win your love, but this is only possible if it also moves in truth .... And again, truth is only recognized where love is .... It is truly not My will to plunge you into even greater confusion, yet examine for yourselves which teachings are probably more acceptable to you .... My revelations, which My love keeps sending to you, or those teachings whose origin you are unable to ascertain .... Test for yourselves whether you are able to recognize My love, wisdom and power in the latter .... And know that you have been entangled in a web of lies and feel comfortable in it .... For in order to increase the darkness the adversary unhesitatingly resorted to the most shameful means and yet was not recognized as a liar, but everything was believed him, but the truth .... if it broke through again and again .... or hushed up. But again and again it was brought to you, and those people who accepted it and were able to detach themselves from satan's work of construction, who were able to distinguish where the light shone and where dense darkness was, can consider themselves fortunate. For anyone who ignited love within himself did not unhesitatingly accept everything, because love is the light which gives and will always give him enlightenment from within, because I Myself am love and also the light from eternity and because I Myself can and will only give you the truth in order to release you from darkness. So never believe that you are taking the wrong path if you allow Me to reveal Myself to you .... take the direct path to Me and you will truly walk in truth. And don't be afraid to incur My wrath if you detach yourselves from spiritual knowledge which does not and can never give you light because it originates from darkness. For you must never forget that it is and will remain a battle .... that light and darkness wrestle for the souls which belong to the prince of darkness, and that the human being himself brings this battle to a conclusion and will be victorious if he turns to the light of his own free will, if he seeks contact with Me Himself .... Then he will truly be led to the light, and he will recognize Me Myself in this light, he will no longer anxiously question but be joyful in the certainty of returning to the father from Whom he once took his departure ...._>Amen

Divine revelations predominantly concern spiritual knowledge ....

B.D. 7833 from February 22nd 1961, taken from Book No. 82

You receive a spiritual gift which is beneficial for your soul, which is bread and wine in truth, which strengthens the soul and helps it to recover, which lets it mature into eternal life. When I impart the truth to you through the spirit it only concerns knowledge which promotes your spiritual development. For I come to you as a true physician of the soul and give you medicine so that you will not become a slave to death. And thus you will be instructed through the spirit about your earthly task and about the reason for creation as well as your existence on this earth as a human being .... You shall learn why your soul takes this path across earth and what the purpose of it is. And so that you will also fulfil the purpose I will give you the guidelines according to which you should live your earthly life. And you can be certain that I will instruct you in all truth, that I will not let you fall into error if you desire the truth. What you therefore need to know for this task of earthly life will be announced to you by My spirit, as I have promised. But the fact that you now desire to know much which is completely without influence for the attainment of the soul's salvation also puts you in danger of being taught wrongly, for such a desire can also be fulfilled by My adversary who then sees an opportunity to gain an advantage for himself and who will then be successful if you humans already have a preconceived opinion which he will immediately support if it does not correspond to the truth. But I want the salvation of your soul alone to be your priority .... I want you to demand nourishment for your soul which I will offer to it at any time. And thus, if possible, detach yourselves from earthly knowledge if you desire to be instructed by My spirit; give yourselves to Me with complete faith and let Me give you what your father deems necessary for you .... "I will guide you into all truth ...." and I will also enlighten you about earthly things if it is necessary .... But once your soul has reached the maturity on earth that it can enter the kingdom of light, then it will have clarity about everything. On earth, however, it does not need some knowledge, therefore it will not be given to it. Again and again I emphasize that the human being's will is free, that I admonish and instruct the human being to only ever seek the salvation of his soul, and I make My will known to him through My word .... And if he now fulfils My will, a bright light will soon shine for him and his thoughts will be right because My spirit can illuminate them. And then you will also know and feel what is necessary to know for your soul's salvation .... And you will not complain with thoughts which lie outside spiritual knowledge ...._>Amen

Blind faith is worthless ....

B.D. 7834 from February 23rd 1961, taken from Book No. 82

The human being shall believe but he shall not believe blindly .... he shall form a mental opinion about everything he is required to believe and then let his heart decide whether to reject or accept it. This is what I expect of people, but I Am not content with blind faith when the demand of such signifies a coercion of will, as I gave people completely free will. And you always have to bear the human being's freedom of will in mind, then you will also recognise whether a doctrine has originated from Me, for I gave you humans absolute freedom, I gave you no other commandments apart from the divine commandments of love, the fulfilment of which, however, also presuppose free will. So now I want to guide you into bliss, and for that reason I repeatedly convey My Word to you .... I instruct you and familiarise you with spiritual knowledge .... and once again it is up to you to believe it or not .... Yet you have to form your own opinion about it, you have to think about it and have the good intention to recognise and accept what is right. I don't expect you to blindly believe what you receive through My Word; yet I expect you to scrutinise it before you make a judgment, and after serious examination you will also recognise the truth of what you are presented with, and then you will no longer believe blindly.

But I cannot absolve many people from the accusation of having accepted spiritual values without checking them and then holding on to them .... which, after serious consideration, they would have had to recognise as being untrue .... Many people are satisfied with what was handed on to them by way of tradition, and they deem it wrong to dwell on it because this is what they were also taught .... But how do they want to justify themselves one day? Every human being received from Me the gift of faculty of thought, but does he make use of it? Why does he scrutinise the value of earthly commodities but refrains from doing so with spiritual goods? Why is the salvation of his soul of so little significance to each individual person that he would anxiously ask himself whether he can rely on the fact that he was offered the truth? Why is he indifferent to the 'truth'? For truly, anyone who desires the truth will not live in darkness .... And this state of indifference can be found wherever any kind of spiritual knowledge is unreservedly and without scrutiny accepted because it originates from a specific source .... and precisely this source was not made accessible by Me, or the human being would live in truth and also clearly recognise it as such as soon as he forms an opinion of it. You, however, accept and believe blindly, and thus you strengthen the power of the one who is My adversary, who wants to push you into darkness and keep you there .... For you have dedicated yourselves to an organisation but not to Me, Who in fact wants to guide you to the light ....

However, you have free will and therefore I have never proceeded forcibly but left the decision to you, and as long as you have searched for Me in all sincerity I allow Myself to be found and kindle a bright light in you which also clearly illuminates My adversary's activity. And every person can possess this light by just desiring the light .... But it involves the sincere will to be released from My adversary and this necessitates a close bond with Me .... And thus you need only ask yourselves whether you .... who believe blindly because you are told to do so .... feel impelled towards Me .... No one having sought this close bond with Me has remained empty-handed, for I reveal Myself to everyone and grant him the enlightenment which illumines his path ahead. For if he is searching for Me then love is in him too, which soon will bestow upon him the correct realisation. And thus he will also be able to separate error from truth, he will no longer believe blindly, his bond with Me will release him from My adversary, who will no longer be able to keep a person in darkness once he has seen the light, which makes him happy and only increases his desire for more light .... And he will free himself from the influence of those who pretend to be My true representatives on earth, who do not live in truth themselves and therefore cannot distribute it either .... who exert spiritual coercion on their followers, which can never correspond to My will, because earthly life is a matter of the human being's free decision of will which is being prevented by the former ....

Amen

Help for the beings beyond through the word of God ....

B.D. 7835 from February 24th 1961, taken from Book No. 82

An unusual flow of light can be recognized in the spiritual world when My divine ray of love pours to earth, when My word is conveyed to earth, which is light from the eternal light. And countless beings are touched by this ray of light, all of which have entered My flow of love, which no longer offer any resistance to My illumination. In the spiritual kingdom My ray of love touches the beings which are constantly fed with My light of love in order to pass it on into areas without light. But also the beings in the beyond who are willing to listen to Me when My word is sounded to them in order to mature themselves happily accept My illumination of love and have great blessings .... People on earth must also be willing to be addressed by Me in order to experience the blessing of My illumination of light of love .... But all will be considered without limitation according to their degree of love and willingness. And thus you humans will also understand how you yourselves help those beings in the kingdom of the beyond into the light if you contact Me in order to receive My word, for they are not yet in the kingdom of light where the beings are constantly blessed by the illumination of love .... They still need the mediators whose love would like to help them into the light, because they still live in spiritual regions where darkness or twilight predominates and where rays of light only flash up when this connection with Me is established from earth and then it is up to them whether they follow the rays of light in order to enter the realm of illumination. And since these beings are still in earthly regions due to their spiritual immaturity they will also constantly surround you but also be infinitely grateful to you if they come into the blessing of My illumination of love through you .... For I Myself cannot yet directly convey the light to them but I will never prevent them if they voluntarily join the flow of love. And this is why the transmission of My word to earth is such a great help for these souls, because their free will remains with them and yet the possibility exists that the souls will seek you out and receive light from you. And thus you contribute to an unusual degree to the redemption of these souls, for the ray of light attracts countless souls and they follow it and thus enter the blessing of My divine word, which truly has a great effect because it is an illumination of love on My part which the souls cannot resist. But the souls in the beyond are by no means forced, they can also avoid the rays of light if they shun the light, yet their resistance will not last long because other willing souls will already take care of this again by participating in it. My adversary's activity on earth is unmistakable .... but redemptive work of the greatest magnitude is also underway in the kingdom of the beyond .... And therefore you humans should not grieve when your loved ones are sometimes called away before their time, for many no longer reach the state of maturity on earth which secures them the kingdom of light, but they can still ascend in the kingdom of the beyond in a short time because they are more likely to take hold of My hand there than on earth, where they don't want to see it, where they pass by My gift of love, where they don't let themselves be addressed by Me because they have turned their eyes towards the world. Yet to you, who receive My word, I call again and again: Remember these souls to whom you do a great service when they are allowed to become involved in My activity, when they are allowed to participate in My illumination of love. And often let My ray of love enter this darkness, because you are surrounded by many souls which feel at ease and only ever wait until a ray flashes up again and touches them .... For where My love is legally bound there are no barriers to your love, and for the sake of your love I can help those who are in need ...._>Amen

Faith in and knowledge of the work of redemption ....

B.D. 7836 from February 26th 1961, taken from Book No. 82

When I opened the kingdom of light for you again through My death on the cross My adversary's power over you was broken insofar as you were able to oppose his will yourselves, which was not possible before because you were completely weakened in his dominion. But now he could no longer keep your will bound, and as soon as it was willing to turn to Me you escaped his power, and now you draw the strength from Me because I had acquired it for you through My sacrificial death .... In the human stage your will is free, it is not forced from any side .... but it can be completely weakened and then it cannot offer My adversary any resistance .... But the fact that this weakened will was strengthened is why I died on the cross .... And now you humans need only ask Me in Jesus Christ to strengthen your will .... and you will be able to free yourselves from the adversary's power. Thus you must acknowledge Jesus Christ's act of salvation, and thus the knowledge of it must be conveyed to you humans. You humans must be taught that an original sin is the reason for your earthly life as a human being and that this original sin is also the reason for the act of salvation. You must know why a human being suffered death on the cross and what mission this human being fulfilled in truth: that He offered Himself to Me as a cover because I wanted to redeem the great guilt for you in Him, which had kept the kingdom of light closed to you since your apostasy from Me .... And therefore you will be instructed again and again in the truth so that all correlations will be clear to you, so that you will now also recognize your purpose of earthly life, which consists of believing in Jesus Christ as the son of God and redeemer of the world, for you will not be able to enter through the gate into the kingdom of light until you have also found redemption..., until you have found redemption, which only requires your own will to turn to Me again, Who embodied Myself in the human being Jesus, Who died for you Myself on the cross in order to redeem you from My adversary's power. And if you humans are still weak-willed, come to Me in Jesus and ask Me to strengthen your will .... And truly, you will be released from this power, for then your will will already be turned towards Me and your earthly life will not have been lived in vain, it will lead you towards the aim which, however, you will never be able to reach without redemption through Jesus Christ. And already the will to know the truth about Him and His act of salvation earns you strength and grace, for it testifies that you want to detach yourselves from My adversary who tries to keep you in spiritual darkness. But truth is light, and thus you then desire the light when you ask for the truth .... And the 'eternal light' will shine for you, it will truly guide you to the right knowledge, and then you will also turn to the divine redeemer Jesus Christ and also to Me Myself, Whom you now recognize in Jesus as your God and father of eternity. Then you will have voluntarily returned to Me, and then My crucifixion will not have been in vain for you, then the gate into the kingdom of light will have been opened for you, you yourselves will be united with Me again, the abyss will have had to release you, and you will now also remain with Me forever .... And therefore I will never stop giving you humans enlightenment through My word, for one thing is entirely necessary: to know about the redemptive work of Jesus Christ .... He cannot be excluded, without Him there is no beatitude .... and I Myself cannot be thought of in any other way than in Him. And if you want to make contact with Me it can only happen in Jesus, Whose shell I chose for Myself in order to be able to be a visible God for you, Who is a spirit, inconceivable to you .... Who fills the whole universe but manifested Himself for you, His creatures, in the shell of the man Jesus .... In Him, therefore, you must look for Me, and then you will also find Me and never lose Me again ...._>Amen

Free will ....

B.D. 7837 from February 28th 1961, taken from Book No. 82

Only your will determines whether you achieve perfection on this earth. Hence earthly life is a matter of your free decision of will. But this does not relate to earthly questions or opinions about earthly plans, it is purely a matter for your soul to make the right decision as to which Lord it accepts above itself. But the human being cannot be forced by either side to make this decision, consequently 'free will' cannot ever be refuted, in spite of the fact that people repeatedly attempt to do so. Only the human being's innermost thoughts matter and this is not subject to any force. For this reason the person can only be influenced by ideas, speeches and various events which are thus intended to affect his thoughts (his will). And this is attempted by the divine as well as by the God-opposing aspect. However, it is always the person's own decision as to which influence he submits himself (yields) .... The human being's will is free .... Hence one day he also has to be accountable for the direction he gave his will, because he was given his life as a human being for the purpose of testing his will and sooner or later the soul will have to endure the consequences of its will's decision.

The human being is able to turn his will towards God in every situation of life .... And he can equally submit himself to His adversary .... but he will never be able to hold anyone responsible for his decision of will, neither his fellow human being nor a worldly power, neither God Himself nor His adversary, because it is entirely up to his free will as to whether the direction of his thoughts aim towards God or His adversary .... But his destiny is always determined by God such that he can easily find God, as long as he no longer offers Him inner resistance .... which is thus determined by his free will. People are inclined to refute free will because they are not always able to do what they want to do, however, it is not always a question of what they do, but what they want. For they can be prevented from carrying out actions, again due to the effects of spiritual influences .... but the volition itself cannot be prevented. Therefore the human being should be critical of himself with regard to the direction of his will's expression .... because during his life on earth he knows that he is expected to turn towards God, because God Himself constantly conveys this information to him and he does not live his earthly life entirely without knowledge .... But since he is also influenced by God's adversary it will be inevitable that he has to think about it, and therefore he is already urged to make a decision ....

And thus this, too, is the battle between light and darkness, which has to be settled by the person himself and which would be inconceivable without the human being's free will, otherwise only the positive and negative powers would fight each other and one power would then emerge as the winner .... But this is not how the battle between light and darkness should be understood, because it concerns the human being's soul which, in free will, makes its own choice regarding itself. The human being's life on earth is therefore an uninterrupted chain of experiences, discoveries and impressions which stimulate his thinking and which can also enable his thoughts to move into the right direction. But since God's adversary was granted the right to fight for the soul as well, his thinking will also be subject to negative influences and then he will have to make his choice. And the intensity of his resistance to God determines the outcome, it determines the soul's fate after the body's death, which can be exceedingly joyful but also intensely painful. However, irrespective how the will decides .... God's love never abandons the soul, and if it does not achieve its goal in this earthly life it will indeed delay its salvation for an infinitely long time, but sooner or later the right decision will be made by the will, since God's love is strength which the soul will not oppose forever ....

Return of the opponent ....

B.D. 7838 from March 1st 1961, taken from Book No. 82

The adversary's return to Me can also only take place in lawful order .... And since his apostasy from Me was an offence so unusually severe that you humans are unable to comprehend it, it will take eternities until he has atoned for this offence .... until he has changed his will himself and gives himself to Me again, as it was in the beginning. He, whom My greater than great love had brought into being, had become My adversary, and this meant that he turned everything within himself into the opposite .... that he shaped himself into a being which stood in stark contrast to Me .... that he became the antithesis of the eternal deity, even though he had originated from Me Myself. And this 'turning' into a being completely opposed to Me required eternal times, and therefore the return cannot take place in less time, for he has to go back the same way, he also has to turn his nature into his original being again, and he is still in the hardest opposition to Me, as an enemy and adversary he is still in the greatest defensive position and constantly works against Me .... And yet, in this resistance he unconsciously serves Me as an antipole in My plan of return, for once all beings have to freely decide between Me and him, because the return to Me cannot take place under compulsion but has to be started in free will, just as the apostasy from Me once took place in free will. My adversary, however, has lost all realization through his fall into the abyss .... he turned away from Me as the eternal light, he no longer allowed himself to be permeated by My light of love, and due to his ever increasing distance from Me he lost all light .... he became darkened in spirit, he was in wrong thinking, he no longer recognized anything but he considered his blinded thinking to be truth. And his activity consists of carrying darkness everywhere, of extinguishing all light and fighting against truth because he perceives it as a light from Me. Thus he created a kingdom of darkness into which he plunged his following and thus dominated it. And because his following is overwhelmingly large it will take eternities until light can be brought to this following for the time being, which, however, is the purpose of My plan of eternity to illuminate everything with My love again until it stands in the brightest light of realization again and then thus has also returned to Me. Yet if its fall required eternities until it had landed in the deepest abyss, if it has to take the same path back again, it is obvious from this that a return of the counter-spirit is still far from being thought of, because the entire appendage has to be redeemed first before it feels so weak itself that it voluntarily returns to Me. But until then he will also use the strength and power he still has left on people, for they will live on earth in possession of free will which will now have to prove itself, i.e. which will have to choose between Me, the lord, Whom the being once refused to acknowledge .... and him, the lord, whom they voluntarily followed to the abyss. Thus he unconsciously and unintentionally serves Me as an antipole .... And I foresaw this from eternity and built My entire 'plan of redemption' on the wrong will of My first-created being, or also: the plan for the creation of 'children' who had to pass the very test of will which presupposes becoming 'children of God'. Since countless beings were created by His will using My strength, it will also take eternities until these beings arrive with Me again as My children .... And for just as long will the first-created spirit, Lucifer, serve Me as an antipole .... And for just as long will he postpone his return to Me, for it will take eternities to change his completely wrong nature .... But one day his return is also certain .... But you humans should not be misled when you are told that he is on the path of return .... indeed his followers, but not he himself, whose hatred towards Me is abysmal, but also towards everything spiritual which belongs to him, for he knows no love, he seeks to ruin everything, and he also seeks to prevent his followers from becoming blessed, because he himself is evil since he turned himself and his nature wrong and likewise has to carry out his change on himself, so that he returns to the father again as the prodigal son from Whom he also once took his departure ...._>Amen

Directing the souls in the beyond to Jesus Christ ....

B.D. 7839 from March 2nd 1961, taken from Book No. 82

Anyone who professes Me in the spiritual kingdom will be redeemed for all eternity .... As soon as the souls, which are still dwelling in darkness or twilight, are no longer opposed to My name when they are informed of My act of Salvation by disguised messengers of light or by the thoughts of loving people, the darkness will leave them .... the strength of My name alone will take effect in them and drive them to Me, they will start to look for Me and I will also allow Myself to be found .... But the soul's will is and shall always remain free, hence it might also take a long time before they accept Me, before people's intercession becomes effective or the messengers of light joining them in disguise are successful in bringing them the Gospel.

Yet the efforts to gain these souls will not cease, and therefore it is very beneficial if souls are consciously invited to join spiritual conversations relating to the act of Salvation, so that the souls will time and again be directed to Jesus Christ and voluntarily take the path to Me and ask Me for forgiveness of their guilt .... As long as they are not happy they will still be burdened by guilt, and their misery will be able to encourage them to strive for an improvement of their situation and think about themselves, about their life on earth and their relationship with Me, their God and Creator of eternity. It will already reduce the soul's will of resistance if it receives people's loving intercession, if it is kindly thought of and feels their willingness to help. This will also decrease its rejection of help which it is repeatedly offered in the realm of the beyond, and its surrender of opposition is the beginning of progress, for every inclination of such a soul is taken into account and it is bestowed with a small light, which makes it happy and increases its desire for it.

The souls in the beyond have to find Me if they have not found Me on earth already. And you humans can greatly contribute towards it by frequently thinking of souls which suffer adversity .... by only ever directing every soul coming into your mind to Me, to the divine Redeemer Jesus Christ, Who alone can help it attain beatitude. Your loving thoughts of these souls are like sparks of light, which make them happy and which they always look out for and to whose origin they hurry. While on earth they had kept away from all spiritual instruction, they had only lived their earthly life and thus entered the spiritual kingdom devoid of all spiritual possessions after their death .... Now they first have to acquire spiritual possessions of their own free will, they should not offer any opposition if the Gospel of love is proclaimed to them, and they must also pass it on with love to those who, like themselves, would like to improve their situation.

However, as soon as you humans take care of these souls they will not be lost; your thoughts will always draw them to yourselves and they will also be able to accept what they hitherto had rejected .... and now experience it as a blessing because it is given to them by your love .... For love is a power which will not remain ineffective .... You should often remember the souls which still languish in darkness, which have not yet found their way to Me in Jesus; show them the way and inform them of the Gospel; and you will accomplish a richly blessed work of redemption that is most significant, especially during the last days, because many souls shall still detach themselves from the abyss, so that they will not fall prey to the new banishment when the end has come ....

Amen

Serving in must-law .... serving in love ....

B.D. 7840 from March 3rd 1961, taken from Book No. 82

Everything you see around you strives towards perfection, for the whole of creation contains fallen spiritual substances which, dissolved into countless particles, wander through the individual works of creation with the aim of returning to Me from Whom they once originated. I saw these creations as suitable to change the former resistance of the spiritual substance, and an ascending development will always be recorded in creation because this spiritual substance fulfils My will in the law of compulsion, because it also fulfils the law of eternal order in the law of compulsion: because it serves .... Serving is an act of love .... Although love as such does not really break through in the law of compulsion, the once fallen being nevertheless slowly inserts itself into the fundamental law of eternal order again, and thereby the distance from Me decreases, so that it can then once again gain possession of free will and now serves of its own accord .... which then, however, also requires love and this brings the once fallen being back to Me again, because through love it unites with Me again as the original source of love. Everything you see around you is developing upwards, but you yourselves, the human being who is now the spirit being endowed with free will .... can also bring this upward development to a standstill if you fail, if you do not "serve in love" in free will .... And thereby you can jeopardise the whole course of upward development beforehand, you can sink back into the abyss again .... And I would like to protect you from this, but I Myself cannot determine your will, I can only present the effect of it to you, warn and admonish you and help you if you are of good will. And again and again you should look at the creation around you and remember that you have already overcome everything, that you were of service because every work of creation has its purpose, and that you thereby attained a degree of maturity which earned you the grace of embodiment as a human being .... And you should thank Me with all your heart that I made this degree of maturity possible for you, and you should love Me for it .... and you would soon also reach your aim, you would soon unite with Me and be blissfully happy. But if you keep yourselves distant from Me .... and you do, if you live along without love and without thoughts of Me .... then you are in utmost danger of sinking back and having to cover the whole long path of your ascent development once again. And this is a state of unimaginable agony and darkness for you. But as a human being you are able to change this state and acquire light and bliss. Use this time of grace for yourselves, think of yourselves and your fate after the death of your body, and eagerly work on the transformation of your soul .... so that you still discard your unspiritual urges, so that you change yourselves into love. For then you will also take on the original nature again which was your state before your past apostasy from Me, and you will also be able to enjoy light and bliss as you once did in the beginning. For I want you to come out of your state of wretchedness because I love you, and therefore I also let you take this long path of development in order to help you attain the highest possible maturity, but which you now have to increase yourselves in free will as a human being in order to be completely united with Me again. I was your starting point, and irrevocably you must also return to Me again. And once you have reached your aim you will also be immeasurably happy and sing My praises and thanks that My infinite love did not let you fall, even though you voluntarily left Me. But you determine the duration of your distance from Me yourselves and thus also your return, which I do not force out of My love and My power, because you are free, divine creatures who are therefore also free to determine yourselves. But My love is boundless and will always help you to reach your aim as long as you are of good will ...._>Amen

The adversary's disguise as a spirit of light .... Miracles? ....

B.D. 7841 from March 4th 1961, taken from Book No. 82

Your thinking is utterly wrong if you look upon the adversary's machinations as divine miracles, because they can be recognised as soon as you humans are of good will and subsequently also desire to think correctly .... For the sign of My working consists of the fact that everything testifies to love, wisdom and power; consequently, you need only investigate as to whether love, wisdom and power can be recognised when you are informed of such alleged miracles .... My adversary also disguises himself in the form of light, he appears as a spirit of light and confuses gullible people who are looking for sensations and therefore also accept anything unverified. You should not believe blindly, each one of you should examine and keep that which seems acceptable to you after serious scrutiny. So if phenomena are reported to you which supposedly are My 'divine' activity, you should know that I do not work in unusual ways in order to lead people to faith, because a living faith can only be gained through kind-hearted actions and any other faith is of no value before Me. Why should I therefore offer you unusual phenomena and what would be My purpose for it? You can find out anything you need to know from My Word, its transmission is certainly an extraordinary gift of grace but it does not oblige anyone to believe who does not live a life of love .... But it shall stimulate you into kind-hearted activity, and then your faith will become firm and alive. A spiritually highly mature person will occasionally be able to experience spiritual visions, but he will find it very difficult to describe to his fellow human beings what he had seen .... In that case one cannot speak of 'unusual phenomena' which originate from Me .... Yet My adversary often works by dazzling people and thus creating an illusion of things which are only perceived by people akin to him, who are not in heartfelt contact with Me, their God and Father of eternity .... This can only happen if people think the wrong way and thereby prepare their own foundation for wrong images .... if they themselves are willing to confirm inaccuracies by testifying to them .... Their lack of earnestly requesting the truth leaves them open to any error, and then it is easy for My adversary to build upon this error and to increasingly confuse people's thinking more and more so that they see and hear what he feigns to them because they want to see and hear it. Don't believe that I try to prove or reveal Myself to those who do not shape themselves such that I can reveal Myself to them .... but even then it does not happen so obviously that it would compel someone into believing who has not reached a specific degree of maturity .... And ask yourselves whether people advocating unusual experiences or phenomena can be credited with this maturity .... because only the masses will let themselves be deceived but fully matured souls will never experience My adversary's obvious activity .... Anyone who believes blindly gets more and more caught up in Satan's web of lies, for he has an easy game with them .... But if you seriously desire the truth, he will not be able to deceive you, then you will recognise him regardless of what he does .... For his activity emerges from darkness and only increases the darkness .... However, where I Am at work there is light .... and there can only be light where love is present. And this light of love can only emanate from Me, but it will also illuminate and penetrate the darkness .... Therefore, look for light, try to escape the darkness and turn to Me as the light of eternity .... And you will easily recognise where My adversary has intervened, for neither My love nor My wisdom nor power can be recognised there .... His activity will be clearly recognisable, as he will only ever fight the light and therefore also the truth ....

Amen

Right enlightenment about Jesus Christ .... work of redemption ....

B.D. 7842 from March 5th 1961, taken from Book No. 82

Faith in the divine redeemer guarantees that you will enter the kingdom of light after death, because then you will also have found redemption, the forgiveness of guilt, which has so far kept the kingdom of light closed to you. And you can only attain living faith if you make an effort to live a life of love .... if you keep the commandments which He Himself gave you when He lived on earth. But you also need to know the truth about Him and His act of salvation; you need to know what motivated Him to die on the cross for people, and Who actually existed in the man Jesus, Who accomplished the act of salvation .... You must know that God Himself was in Him and therefore also acknowledge Jesus as God's son and redeemer of the world, in Whom the eternal deity manifested Himself in order to accomplish the act of salvation on the cross. As soon as you humans are taught the pure truth you can also attain faith, because then love for Him will be kindled in you humans and this love will then also let faith come alive in you. This is why it is so extremely important that you are given a true picture of the mission of the man Jesus, for you will be willing to accept the truth if only you are of good will. But if you are given an unclear picture then you will doubt and also completely reject it, you will only regard Jesus Christ and His life on earth as a legend which is not to be taken seriously, and you will not be able to experience the blessing which arises from living faith in Him .... You will not be released from your great guilt of sin and with it burdened you will enter the kingdom of the beyond after your death, where no light and no beatitude awaits you, because you do not avail yourselves of the grace(s) of the act of salvation on earth, which require faith in Him .... And if you humans think you cannot believe in Jesus and His act of salvation, then only want what is right in your heart.... want the truth and ask God, Whom you acknowledge as your creator, to grant you the truth .... And you will truly receive right enlightenment about Jesus’ work of redemption. You will receive knowledge, in whatever way it may be .... which you then willingly accept because you inwardly feel that it is the truth. For God does not want you to believe blindly .... He wants you to be serious about standing in the truth .... And therefore He will also help you to gain a living faith in Jesus Christ, the divine redeemer, because only such faith can open the kingdom of light for you, because only in living faith will you recognize the father Who died for you on the cross in order to redeem you .... The truth will bring you full assurance that you have been redeemed from sin and death .... On the other hand, wrong or inadequate knowledge will cause you to doubt and you will reject the divine redeemer and thus also God Himself, but you will have to profess Him in earthly life if you don't want to have lived it in vain. Just try to attain a living faith in Jesus Christ and pray for it with all your heart and soul .... And the gates to beatitude will open for you, you will be allowed to enter the kingdom of light after your death, you will no longer be burdened by sin and you will only ever be allowed to experience His infinite love and mercy and praise and glorify Him .... And through the truth you will still be able to believe on earth and receive this truth again and again through His word, which God Himself conveys to earth, so that people will find Jesus Christ through the truth and thus also Himself, Who was in Him and Who died on the cross for you and your guilt of sin ...._>Amen

Acquisition of spiritual knowledge ....

B.D. 7843 from March 6th 1961, taken from Book No. 82

To possess spiritual knowledge is only possible in a certain degree of maturity of the soul, i.e. it must have ignited (awakened) the spiritual spark within itself through a life of love, which now also opens up its understanding for spiritual knowledge, otherwise the human being only reads dead letters which give him no light. To possess spiritual knowledge is therefore already proof that the human being is on the path to ascent .... It is proof that he has already entered into the bond with God, that his spiritual spark has received that knowledge from God Himself which is inseparably connected to the father-spirit from eternity. But anyone who possesses spiritual knowledge cannot be idle, he will use his knowledge, he will constantly strive for increased knowledge, and he will also try to transfer his knowledge to his fellow human beings because he feels that he represents the right knowledge, that it is the truth and that this truth will bring blessings to himself and also to his fellow human beings. And therefore every person can consider himself fortunate who has gained spiritual knowledge which is understandable to him, which provides him with answers to questions which could not be answered by human beings. For this person no longer believes in a merely earthly life, but his thoughts are now often spiritually directed and his way of life is also carried out according to this spiritual knowledge. The human being strives to live in love, to enter into God's will .... inwardly strives towards God, he begins to despise the world and its goods and only uses them as far as the preservation of the body requires. But he knows that life is not an end in itself but a means to an end .... Yet he first has to be introduced to spiritual knowledge .... His intellect must first occupy itself, and then it is up to his will whether the knowledge, which is supplied to him from outside, penetrates the heart and takes root there. And only then can this knowledge become spiritual knowledge and increase, which, however, always presupposes a life of love which the human being can lead on the basis of divine commandments but also of inner impulse, and then his knowledge will increase accordingly from within .... through the working of the divine spirit which rests as a spark in every human being's soul. But if the human being has no spiritual knowledge at all his earthly life has been in vain so far, it has not yet brought him any spiritual success, he cannot register any degree of spiritual progress, he is still completely in darkness because the light in him has not yet been able to shine, because the spiritual spark has not yet been ignited and therefore it is still night in him. And this state is worrying for the human being, for it proves his spiritual low, it proves the uselessness of his earthly life so far and the danger he is in if he does not change .... which can only happen if he lives a life of love. Love is light, and love gives light to man .... Love awakens the spiritual spark to life, love connects the human being and thus also his spirit with God, and love therefore brings him knowledge .... And this is why you humans are constantly admonished to live a life of love, this is why the divine commandments of love are constantly held up to you, which Jesus gave you and exemplified to you when He lived on earth and which will always be the most urgent thing for you if you want to ascend in your development as long as you live on earth .... Without love no human being will attain wisdom, i.e. the spiritual knowledge which corresponds to truth; and without love there will be no maturing of the soul which shall shape itself such that it can enter the kingdom of light and beatitude after its departure from this earth .... For it shall attain realization on earth, the spiritual darkness shall already fall away from it on earth, it shall attain light, it shall gain knowledge which informs it of all correlations and which will also make it happy, because it will only now enter the original state again in which it was in the beginning ...._>Amen

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

B.D. 7844 from March 7th 1961, taken from Book No. 82

I am a kind father, full of mercy and long-suffering, full of patience and love, and you will never need to fear that I will turn away from you, even if you have become sinful, even if you have distanced yourselves from Me and resisted Me .... My love and grace is for you nevertheless, and I seek to help you who, through your sinfulness, have also fallen into wickedness .... I take care of you .... I send My messengers to you and they speak to you as human beings so that you will believe sooner than if I were to address you Myself .... which, however, would not be possible in your sinful state because then you would not be able to tolerate the light which would shine upon you if you were addressed directly. But you shall nevertheless experience the benefit of light when small sparks of light flash up and illuminate the darkness in which you still dwell as a result of your sin, as a result of your inner defensive position towards Me, which always brought a state of darkness and wretchedness for you .... But it can also become light again around you .... You just have to believe that the God Who called you into life is a God of love Who does not want His living creations to live in wretchedness but wants to make them happy forever. Therefore you should turn to this God of love and ask Him to have mercy on you .... And you will learn about Jesus Christ, Who once walked the earth as your brother in order to redeem you from your guilt of sin .... You will learn of Him and also of His work of redemption, of His death on the cross, which He suffered for your guilt .... And you will also learn that you must turn to Him, and when you do so you will also recognize that it was your God and father from eternity Who laid down His life on the cross for your guilt .... and then you will truly be saved for all eternity, then you will be drawn to Me in Jesus, and you will make use of My love and grace, My mercy, gentleness and patience .... You will ask Me to accept you, and now you have given up your resistance and stepped out of darkness into brightest light. Your state has changed into a state of bliss, and you will now be full of love yourselves and distribute love to all those who, like you, dwelled in deepest darkness (shall reach the light) .... Let all of you be addressed by My messengers who want to bring you light into the darkness; follow the sparks of light when they flash in the darkness and you will truly be guided to where you may hear My word .... the word which is directly conveyed by Me to earth and which also resounds in the kingdom of the beyond in order to bring salvation to the souls there which are in great distress .... And believe that you were created by a God of love Who also wants you to be blessed, you who made yourselves unworthy of this bliss .... But I see your suffering, your darkness, I want to help you find the light, so that you return to Me again, Who is the light of eternity and Who wants to and can give you beatitude. And believe that I am waiting in Jesus for your coming to Me, that you only need to acknowledge Jesus Christ as the divine redeemer and that you will then no longer refuse to acknowledge Me as you once did but return to the father from Whom you once originated .... Let yourselves be redeemed, rise from the depths, follow the light which occasionally flashes upon you, and you will truly be saved from darkness, you will ascend to the light and be blessed ...._>Amen

Deepening into the word of God ....

B.D. 7845 from March 8th 1961, taken from Book No. 82

What leads you towards perfection is repeatedly announced to you through My word: You should work on your soul, you should bring it to maturity as long as you walk the earth as a human being .... You should change your nature into love. For you lack love as long as you do not turn to Me and open yourselves for My illumination of love. And therefore I speak to you again and again, and it should always be your desire to hear Me, you should desire the 'word of God' and again and again take time to immerse yourselves in My word, be it by reading or listening to My word of God or also by intimate thoughts which have Me as their content .... You should connect with Me as often as possible .... and your earthly course will truly not be in vain. As long as you let Me speak to you, you will also know My will, you will know My teaching of love, My lawful order; you will know your purpose of earthly life, and you need only take My word to heart, think it through and live it out according to My will .... And then you will also carry out the work of the soul, you will help it to perfection and make use of the blessings with which I abundantly shower you. Thus you will then live a spiritual life next to your earthly life, which will also make demands on you but which can be easily led if you think of the soul's life first, because its maturing is the actual purpose of earthly life. But anyone who never lets Me Myself speak to him, who never desires the 'word of God', his life will be an idle one, and his soul will not have taken a step in its higher development at the end, for it has only lived out its earthly life and the soul has not gained any advantage, it is on the same level as at the beginning of its embodiment as a human being and will enter the kingdom of the beyond in a dark state if it has the grace to be called away before the end .... which can therefore be called a grace because it still has the opportunity to mature in the spiritual kingdom if its resistance then is not the same as on earth .... But if it still lives on this earth until the end without having changed beforehand, its fate will irrevocably be a new banishment into matter, because then there will no longer be a possibility to ascend in the beyond; for then the gates will be closed there too and a separation of spirits will occur .... as it is proclaimed. For this reason every person should let himself be addressed by Me so that he will become aware of the seriousness of his situation .... he should seek to know My will and submit himself to this will of his own accord, and he will truly still be saved, because I will not let a soul fall whose good will I recognize, whose resistance against Me subsides and which listens to Me when I speak to it. Only the human being should ask himself why he lives on earth .... He should try to fathom the purpose of earthly life and will always be assisted by Me so that it will be fulfilled .... He will be addressed by Me in various ways so that his soul will be touched and begin to work on itself. And it should only be willing to work with love .... Then the right realization will truly come to it, then it will also seek and find the bond with Me, and earthly life will not be lived in vain, because I will certainly help where the soul itself is still too weak, and with My help it will certainly reach its aim. Therefore don't shut yourselves off when I want to speak to you, for I have many ways and many means to address you, only you should not resist Me, for I will not violently break it, yet then you will be in great danger .... But I want you not to perish; I want you to gain eternal life and will therefore never leave you without help ...._>Amen

Remembrance .... rejoicing in the kingdom of light ....

B.D. 7846 from March 9th 1961, taken from Book No. 82

One day you will be able to look back and follow your whole course of development when you have entered the kingdom of light, and you will not be able to praise My love and grace enough and thank Me when you realize how I only ever endeavoured to create spiritual progress for you so that the path to Me became ever shorter and you were able to reach Me one day. But during your earthly life as a human being your recollection has to be taken away from you, for you have to pass the last earthly life test in free will, but this would make the recollection of your past life in the creations of earth impossible, for you would turn to Me driven by fear. Yet this would not be enough for Me, for I want your love .... I want your voluntary return to Me which will then also prove your love for Me. Nevertheless, I instruct you about your infinitely long process of development, only you are not forced to believe this, and even if you believe it you don't know about the torments and the state of wretchedness during the time when your will is still bound .... you don't let yourselves be impressed to such an extent that you now change your will out of fear. Your nature alone will always be decisive as to whether you change it into love .... Accordingly, your desire for Me and the guarantee for your voluntary return to Me. But again, it is good if the knowledge of the state of torment in the bound will is presented to you, for it can make you think, and it can also convince you of My infinite love and patience which does everything to win you back again .... The knowledge can cause you to lead your way of life responsibly and make an effort to fulfil My will, of which you also take notice as soon as this knowledge is also presented to you. But it is always your free will how you adjust yourselves to such knowledge which informs you of a long course of development before the embodiment as a human being. And that is why only few people consciously live their earthly life. For only a few accept such knowledge, only a few allow themselves to be taught by My messengers, and I can only speak to very few in order to impart this knowledge to them. Yet the jubilation in the kingdom of light will be indescribable when the soul has completed its earthly life, when it has voluntarily taken the path to Me, when it brightly and clearly overlooks everything and thus also overlooks its long course of development .... Then My greater than great love will become apparent to it, then the love for Me will also flare up ever more hotly in it, and then it will also want to show its gratitude, and it will want to take part in the work of redemption in order to help the still struggling spiritual being to attain the same happiness and the same abundance of light in bliss again .... For love impels it to constant activity, love is meant for Me and also for the still wretched spirits, and love does not rest, for it wants to make everything happy and know everything blissfully that once came forth from Me .... And therefore My love is also constantly endeavouring to return the spiritual substance, and it truly does everything to make the path easier for you, which is of utmost importance especially in the human stage, because free will decides and I constantly influence this will in a good sense but without forcing it. But once I will also certainly reach the aim that you return in free will; but you yourselves can also endlessly prolong the time you need for this if you fail in earthly life as a human being and turn your will wrong again .... yet as soon as you keep to My word, which is offered to you again and again, you can also be certain that you will reach the aim .... For then you will also receive the strength to ascend, and then you will also fulfil My will of your own accord and rightly pass your final test .... And you will thank Me and praise and glorify Me eternally when you are allowed to enter the kingdom of light where you may behold Me face to face ...._>Amen

Only love will achieve the return ....

B.D. 7847 from March 10th 1961, taken from Book No. 82

I want to guide you into beatitude .... consequently I will also do everything that will put you into the state of maturity when you yourselves have the will to become blessed. Love, however, guarantees this state of maturity, love guarantees happiness, because love signifies unification with Me and then I can also give you the bliss caused by My emanation of love. Thus time and again I encourage you through My Word to do kind deeds, I arrange your earthly fate such that you will have many opportunities to serve with love .... I try to ignite the spark of love in you which spreads and seizes everything with its glow. You can only become blessed through love because it was your original state, since you once came forth from My love and therefore were love yourselves in your fundamental substance .... And you were happy in your original state since you were closely connected to Me and thus constantly received My emanation of love which could only be bliss.

The fact that you changed your nature into the opposite of yourselves, that you rejected My emanation of love, that you turned towards the one who was devoid of all love, has made you wretched too .... But you are My living creations, and My infinite love will not allow you to be eternally wretched, for love wants to bestow happiness, love wants to know happiness and make happy .... and My love will never end .... Thus, as long as you are wretched because your nature is still imperfect, since it has not changed back into love, I will pursue you with My love and thus never leave you to yourselves .... and consequently you cannot be lost forever. But you can prolong the time of your wretchedness yourselves, you can let an infinitely long time pass by without endeavouring to change your nature, and you provide the evidence of this in your earthly life or you would make use of this short earthly life in order to regain your state of blissfulness.

And therefore I often have to intervene harshly, I have to bring the immense earthly hardship home to you which could prompt you into lovingly assisting your fellow human beings, and I have to let you experience such hardship yourselves so that you feel for yourselves how soothingly another person's kind deed can affect you, and thereby you will become motivated yourselves to reciprocate such actions of love .... For only love can achieve a change of your nature, only love will put you into the original state again where you are happy. Yet My love takes all your weakness and faults into account, My love knows your imperfection, your weakness of will and former resistance and yet reveals itself to you anyway, it will help you time and again during earthly and spiritual hardship in order to gain your love too .... For then you will be saved for all eternity.

And if you always just open your eyes and look around yourselves during your earthly life you will be able to recognise My infinite love which is intended for you, My living creations. For everything around you was only created for you, creation emerged for the sake of your return, you experience your existence as a human being for the sake of your return, and for the sake of your return I reveal Myself every day through happenings and experiences of all kinds. For I don't want to leave you in wretchedness, I want you to recognise Me in earthly life as your God and Creator, as your Father Who loves you and to Whom you shall belong again as in the beginning ....

And truly, one day you will be blessed again, one day you will push towards Me full of love, one day you will return to Me as children into your Father's house .... And I will always help so that you won't delay this return due to your own fault .... but I will always leave you your free will which is part of supreme blissfulness since it is the evidence of your divinity. And therefore you have to become active yourselves, you have to live in accordance with My commandments of love, you have to improve yourselves and shape your nature into love, you have to fight against selfish love and engross yourselves in unselfish neighbourly love .... Yet without love you cannot become blessed ....

Amen

Call to Jesus .... address to souls beyond ....

B.D. 7848 from March 11th 1961, taken from Book No. 82

And you will only be saved if you let yourselves be addressed by Me, for My address guarantees you grace and strength which you need for your ascent. You are still in the abyss as long as the light of realization does not shine upon you .... But if you have light then you will also know which path you have to take. Then you come to Me yourselves in Jesus and ask Me for forgiveness of your sins, for redemption .... And this small light will always be kindled for you, for the knowledge of Jesus and His act of salvation is necessary for you to believe in Him and take the path to Him. However, if you still live in darkness then you don't know Him, your God and father of eternity .... Then your thoughts are wrongly directed, then you walk in dark spiritual night, you are blind in spirit because you are still in the bondage of My adversary from whom the divine redeemer Jesus Christ has to release you .... so that you will become free and now also have access to the kingdom of light .... And you can be certain that the knowledge of Him will be conveyed to you again and again, that a small light from Me will shine upon you again and again and that you only have to enter this glow of light yourselves in order to also gain the realization that there is one Who can release you from the darkness. And if you take the path to Him then you will also be safely led out of the darkness, then you will also receive the strength to take the path upwards, for the path of ascent requires strength, and again and again My infinite love grants you blessings which you have not deserved because you sank into darkness through your own fault. Yet even if you have become sinful of your own free will I am always willing to forgive your guilt of sin if only you acknowledge Me Myself in Jesus, Who suffered death on the cross for you in order to redeem you. No other can bring you salvation from darkness, no other can loosen your chains which My adversary has thrown over you, no other opens the gate to the kingdom of light for you than Jesus Christ, the son of God and redeemer of the world .... For in Him I have embodied Myself, in the shell of the man Jesus the great spirit of eternity has manifested Himself .... Thus it is I Myself Whom you call upon for the redemption of guilt when you call upon Jesus and appeal for His salvation. And you who know nothing about Him .... whether on earth or in the kingdom of the beyond .... you must therefore be given the knowledge, and therefore My name shall be proclaimed in the world, therefore Jesus' act of salvation shall be mentioned, therefore I instruct My disciples of the last days in all truth about the mission of the man Jesus, so that you will also be able to believe if you are willing to believe. Through My word I impart the knowledge to you which is necessary for you to take the path to Me, for you must take the path to the cross, through your acknowledgement of Jesus Christ you must also acknowledge Me Myself, just as you once rejected Me and therefore became sinful. And you will truly not go astray if you accept this knowledge, if you call upon Jesus Christ for mercy. He will truly change your wretched fate into a blessed one, He will take care of you and lead you to the heights .... And you, who still languish in darkness, will become increasingly brighter; you will feel at ease in the light and constantly desire more to be illuminated by Me Myself, to hear My word, which is a direct illumination of love on My part .... You will truly not remain in the abyss, for as soon as you call upon Jesus He will stretch His hands out to you in kind compassion, which you need only grasp in order to be lifted up from the abyss .... You will find entrance into the kingdom of light as soon as you approach Him for the redemption of your guilt .... For My light shines into the darkness, and blessed are those who follow the rays and come to Jesus Christ ...._>Amen

What is creation? .... reshaped power ....

B.D. 7849 from March 12th 1961, taken from Book No. 82

When the world was created, the fall of man had already taken place in the kingdom of the spirits, for this was the cause of creation .... it was the cause for a world to arise which was formed from the strength which flowed forth from Me when I created the spiritual beings. It was a world whose substance was precisely that once created spiritual substance which fell away from Me. The strength emanated by Me for the creation of those beings did not work according to My will, those beings did not fulfil their purpose, and thus I gave the strength another purpose .... I dissolved the beings, the fallen spiritual beings, and now let creations of a different kind arise from the strength .... For the power had to become active according to the law of eternity .... It was not a lifeless world which now came into being, for all strength expresses itself, it is constantly active. And thus My will also assigned each work of creation its purpose, which was then fulfilled by the inherent strength in the law of compulsion .... Thus the beings were transformed into works of creation of various kinds, thus it was certainly a 'spiritual' world but the strength had condensed into form, visible creations had arisen through My will .... However, they were only visible to the human being, to the being which, having once fallen, had passed through this creation for the purpose of changing back to Me, from Whom it had once fallen away. Thus the human being can see My creations and he can also be instructed as to what this creation is in its essence .... And when his soul has attained a certain degree of maturity then the human being knows that he lives in the midst of the once fallen spiritual substance, that everything around him is reshaped spiritual strength which was once formed into beings which My will of love let arise .... To possess this realization is already the sign that the once fallen original spirit .... the human being .... is close to its original state and that everything around him is a transformed spiritual force and that it only needs to take a few more steps to arrive at Me again, at its father from eternity .... What is creation? .... Every person should ask himself this question, and if his question is serious he will certainly receive clarification and be given proof that he is already in a high state of development. The strength which flows forth from Me must become effective, it cannot remain inactive. But the beings called into life by Me refused to carry out the activity assigned to them; they turned away from Me, closed themselves to the inflowing strength of love and consequently also became incapable of activity. They hardened in their substance .... which is why I dissolved them and let them become creations of a different kind, so that the strength could become effective again, and this according to My will. But My love and My wisdom also intended a plan with the creation: That which once voluntarily refused to be active in My will now exercises the activity in the law of compulsion, and thus the once emanated strength was induced into a serving activity. That is the meaning and purpose of the whole of creation, that the strength becomes effective according to My will .... And thus every work of creation also has its purpose, which again serves another work of creation to come into being and to exist. Everything that is visible to you shall remind you of My greater than great love and wisdom, for you shall recognize everything as a work of help for the fallen original spirits to regain their former nature, where they were exceedingly full of light and mighty .... You should see in everything that is visible to you the path I have prepared for My living creations so that they can return to their origin on it again; you should learn to look at creation as a great work of mercy by Me which gives you the opportunity to attain the beatitude again which you gave away yourselves of your own free will. But you should also never forget that you yourselves, in the stage as a human being, have to strive for the final perfection, because this can only be achieved in free will. Therefore you should also learn about your earthly progress through this creation and now try to achieve with all your strength that you will find the union with Me again on earth, which you once voluntarily severed. For you shall finally return to Me from Whom you once came forth in all perfection ...._>Amen

The true church of Christ .... Peter, the rock ....

B.D. 7850 from March 13th 1961, taken from Book No. 82

Every devout Christian belongs to the church which I Myself founded on earth .... But I emphasize: every devout Christian .... For many people only call themselves ‘Christians’ because they belong to a ‘Christian’ denomination, to a denomination which certainly preaches of Christ .... but this does not prove that the people also have a living faith in Him .... And I demand this faith in Me because My church is built upon a profound, living faith. People do not, in fact, openly reject the teachings which have been passed on in tradition .... they dare not disagree, but they have no profound unquestionable faith in My act of Salvation, in My actions as a human being on this earth. Therefore, I cannot acknowledge them as living Christians who belong to My church either, rather they are mere nominal members, formal Christians .... They are people who have never spent serious thought on the problem of God’s human manifestation in Jesus, nor do they know about the mission of Jesus the human being, instead they merely consider the events surrounding Jesus the man as a myth, possibly believing in Him as an idealist who wanted the best for His fellow human beings .... But even this cannot be rated by Me as ‘faith in Jesus Christ and His act of Salvation’ ....

However, anyone with a living faith also knows why I demand such faith, so that I can bestow eternal bliss upon him .... This is because an irrevocable part of it is love, only this gives birth to a living faith, and you humans must have this love in order to clearly understand the significance of My act of Salvation for humanity and the reason for My life on earth. And only those who have arrived at such awareness can talk about a maturing of their souls, which is the purpose and aim of earthly life as a human being .... Because My spirit, which I promised to everyone who belongs to My church, to everyone who believes in Me, is working in them .... Enlightenment by the spirit is the sign of belonging to My church, which I Myself founded on earth and if you humans call yourselves ‘Christians’ while your spirit is not yet enlightened the name ‘Christ’ cannot mean anything at to you at all .... You are outside of My church even if you belong to an organisation which speaks of Me, because you do not heed the only important sermon: that you should fulfil the commandments of love, which are undeniably taught by every church but which are not made the focal point and therefore it mainly produces dead Christians. However, anyone living with love can belong to any ecclesiastical organisation .... he will be a member of My church, because it is built on the living faith which sprung to life through love .... You can only become blessed through love ....

Thus, you will have to comply with My divine teaching of love and thereby prove to Me that you want to belong to My church. And since the divine teaching of love is being preached in every Christian organisation you have to exemplify this teaching first and foremost, you should not give precedence to other additional commandments by people, for these do not benefit the soul’s maturity but only stop you from fulfilling My will, Who gave you the commandments of love for God and other people. Thus, living Christians, who will subsequently be regarded as members of the church founded by Me, will be able to emerge from every church. But not one of these churches can claim to be the only beatifying one, because only love results in blissfulness and this love can and will be practised by followers of all denominations, who will then also be regarded as true Christians, who are aspirants for My kingdom which is not of this world. Consequently, it is irrelevant which school of thought you join in earthly life if only your life of love leads you to a living faith in Me and My act of Salvation .... Then I will admit you into My church, then you will also exemplify My Word which I taught on earth; you can follow Me by living with love, as I have done. In this way you will become true followers of My teaching, because I came to earth to ignite the love which you humans had stifled due to My adversary’s influence .... I taught love and exemplified it .... and anyone living with love like Me follows Me, he joins Me .... He belongs to the church I founded because he has the same faith as Peter, the rock on which I built My church .... Do understand these Words correctly and do not apply their wrong interpretation .... Because Peter’s followers are only those who, by means of a life of love, have acquired the very same solid faith within themselves and who thus have the right to call themselves followers of ‘My church’ ....

Amen

Complete devotion to God is return to Him ....

B.D. 7851 from March 15th 1961, taken from Book No. 82

And it is enough for you to know that all things are known to Me, that I know every person's thoughts and that nothing can remain hidden from Me because I permeate everything, because I know everything that happens in you and therefore you cannot deceive Me. And when you have this realization you can only worship Me in spirit and in truth, then your mouth will not just speak empty words, then you will openly and confidently direct your thoughts to Me and present all your needs to Me, you will not try to gloss over anything, you will not want to hide anything from Me, and then you will hand yourselves over to Me and let Me rule according to My wisdom and My love, for then you will have the right concept of God .... I am the most perfect being for you, you no longer apply a human standard to Me and make yourselves My own .... You recognize Me as your God and father of eternity and also consciously acknowledge Me. And because you recognize Me as the most perfect being you will also love Me .... and love has no secrets from each other, you offer your heart to Me completely openly, you don't try to hide anything, for the love within you urges you to completely devote yourselves to Me, it gives you complete trust .... Love now establishes the right relationship with Me: the relationship of a child with its father. Love indissolubly unites the child with the father and the aim is reached, the return to the father, to Me, from Whom the child once came forth as a creature. You humans should all gain this realization during your earthly life that the living God, Whom you certainly acknowledge as creator above you, wants to be your father with Whom you should seek intimate unity .... Who wants to possess your whole heart because He loves you, because you came forth from His love .... And therefore you should also know that I am supremely perfect .... But perfection includes everything: Love, wisdom, power, justice, mercy, long-suffering, patience .... And you shall be allowed to experience all these qualities in yourselves, so that you may learn to know and love Me .... And you should never doubt that the most perfect being loves you and longs for your love, that It longs for your union with It and therefore will also reveal Itself to you again and again as the most perfect being. And you should only open yourselves, thus let yourselves be drawn by Me without inner resistance .... And then you will push towards Me of your own accord, because you will learn to recognize Me as soon as only My love can touch you. Then you will humbly approach Me and entrust yourselves to Me, then you will no longer hold back, then you will understand My nature, that it can only be supremely perfect, and in the awareness of your own weakness and imperfection you will give yourselves to Me .... But devotion to Me is union with Me; complete devotion to Me is the return to Me; then the human being himself has broken down all barriers which still existed between him and Me .... he has become Mine and will remain so for all eternity ...._>Amen

Knowledge of the spiritual motives of the work of redemption ....

B.D. 7852 from March 16th 1961, taken from Book No. 82

It is up to you yourselves how you will engage in My work of redemption, for your will is free .... I will not force a person to take the path to the cross, he has to walk it on his own .... but I will always make sure that he receives the knowledge about Jesus Christ and His act of salvation, because the path to Him is also the path to Me, Who accomplished the act of salvation Myself in the human being Jesus. And this knowledge must correspond to the truth, for it is not enough to merely mention an event whose significance is not made comprehensible to you. Nor is it enough to look at it from an earthly-human point of view, for profound spiritual motives were the reason why the man Jesus walked across earth and suffered the most bitter suffering and finally the most agonising death on the cross .... And these spiritual motives will give you light and now also determine your will to acknowledge Him and consciously avail yourselves of the blessings of the act of salvation if only you are of good will. If this knowledge is presented to you incomprehensibly then you will never recognize and acknowledge Him as your redeemer from sin and death, for only the pure truth will bring you the right light as soon as you take a stand on it. And since I long for your return to Me, Who embodied Myself in the man Jesus in order to redeem you humans, I will also always make sure that you are instructed in the truth about Him, because I want you to take the path to the cross, that you also carry your guilt of sin there, that you also appeal to Him for forgiveness of your guilt .... For then you will also take the path to Me, your God and father from eternity, and you will return to your father's house .... But in the end time My adversary rages, and he fights with all means against it, that it becomes light in you .... In the last days the image of the divine redeemer fades more and more among people, they don't know or recognize Him, they don't know the significance of His earthly life, they often completely doubt His existence or they reject everything they are told without any reservations and don't know that they also reject Me Myself with Him, for He and I are one and I Myself came to earth in Jesus in order to release you humans from My adversary's control. But he wants to stop everything that could give you humans clarity, he wants to block the path which leads to Me, and therefore he also wants to eradicate from you humans all knowledge, all truth about Jesus Christ and His act of salvation, he wants to induce you to deny Him, He wants to cause you to deny Him in order to keep you under his control from which, however, Jesus Christ would like to release you and can do so if you are of the same will to be released by Him and approach Me Myself in Jesus to help you and redeem your guilt of sin .... And again and again I will therefore address you humans and again and again point out the act of salvation and its significance to you, I will enlighten you and make the spiritual motives of My human manifestation in Jesus comprehensible to you, I will instruct you in the truth, because this alone can bring you the right light, and again and again I will admonish you to take a stand yourselves on the spiritual knowledge conveyed to you, so that you will find the right path, the path to the cross .... For no other path leads to beatitude, you must take the path Jesus took, you must follow Him and He will truly open the gates to beatitude for you, He will not leave you in darkness, He will release you from the adversary's power, for if you take the path to Him you will also take the path to Me, Who was Myself in Him when He accomplished the act of salvation .... You come to Me, Who manifested Myself in Jesus, in order to be able to be visible to you, My living creations. Only ever let yourselves be instructed in truth and then you will also be drawn to Me, Whom you only learn to love through truth and Who constantly draws you to Himself through His love, Who will not rest until you have returned eternally .... until you have become Mine and will now remain Mine forever ...._>Amen

Strokes of fate .... Spiritual death ....

B.D. 7853 from March 17th 1961, taken from Book No. 82

People who no longer have faith in a God and Creator, in the soul's continuation of life after death, have already succumbed to spiritual death, for they do not believe that they live on earth for a purpose and reason but only regard this life as an end in itself. They only move on an earthly level, their thoughts don't find the path into the spiritual kingdom, for they refuse to accept and follow thoughts which originate from there. They are purely humanly-orientated creatures with such a low degree of maturity that the destiny of a renewed banishment almost certainly awaits them, because their free will, instead of striving upwards, aims downwards again .... They have already attained some life and yet surrender to death again .... And neither can they be stopped because it is their free will, because it concerns the last and entirely free decision of will in earthly life. God, however, wants to give everlasting life to people .... And people must accept it from His hand, they cannot receive it from anywhere else than from their eternal God and Creator, nevertheless, they don't believe in Him and thus they won't ask Him for it either. Consequently, He can only impose upon them a destiny in earthly life which dissuades them from the material world and makes them think .... He can only shatter their earthly happiness and hopes because he wants to save them, because He wants to help them to attain the life which will last forever .... For if the human being's every earthly wish and craving finds fulfilment, he will constantly want more and increasingly turn his thoughts towards earthly things, and then his life will only be an end in itself for him but never become the means to an end.

You should therefore not be surprised that events which, in an earthly sense, have a disastrous effect on those who are affected by them, will increase during the last days .... that accidents and all kinds of disasters will claim countless human lives, that earthly possessions will be destroyed and that people will have to suffer illness and distress .... These are merely the means used by God Himself in order to find access to those people's hearts who refuse access to Him as long as their earthly way of life is good .... Anything He can still do will be done by Him in order to save those people who are approaching death. For spiritual death is far worse than physical death, which need not affect the soul if the person has lived his earthly life appropriately .... the soul cannot die but it must suffer the consequences of the person's thinking and conduct on earth. It will irrevocably have to experience the fate of renewed banishment if it still hasn't found God before the end, if it does not learn to recognise Him before the end and consciously acknowledges Him and appeals to Him for help and mercy in its spiritual adversity. And to make this possible much is yet to happen which you don't think you can reconcile with the love of a God .... But it is love, no matter how cruel it seems to you, for the soul's spiritual death is far more painful than the most horrendous strokes of fate can be on this earth .... For earthly life comes to an end, the soul, however, must spend an infinitely long time in torment and darkness again before it will receive the grace once more to live on earth as a human being with the same task: to voluntarily make a decision in favour of the One from Whom it once originated .... to voluntarily decide in favour of God from Whom it once voluntarily turned away and therefore became wretched. And it can only become blissfully happy again if it has fulfilled the meaning and purpose of its existence as a human being .... Then it will attain life again, it will no longer need to fear death, it will live forever as soon as it returns to God once more, as soon as it has united with Him again, for which its existence as a human being provided it with the opportunity to do and its will made the right decision ....

Amen

Sacrifice and renunciation ....

B.D. 7854 from March 20th 1961, taken from Book No. 82

The father fulfils all your requests which you send up to Him in spirit and in truth .... For it is only possible for you to receive true enlightenment in a spiritual way if you desire it. Yet you should also be aware of the fact that you must also prove yourselves worthy of being addressed by Me and that you therefore must also have the firm will to live for My pleasure .... Hence your salvation should prompt you to ask Me questions, not earthly motives, for I want to win your souls and for the sake of this purpose you listen to My word. And so I ask you: Why don't you give yourselves completely to Me? .... Why do you still seek the world and its lust? .... Why is it so difficult for you to renounce the latter when you know that I have far more glorious joys in store for you which will compensate you a thousandfold for everything you voluntarily sacrificed to Me on earth? .... All My love belongs to you, and this desires your love in return .... and you shall prove it to Me by also being willing to make sacrifices to Me. And you will know for yourselves when and how you can bring Me a sacrifice .... and truly, every sacrifice will result in its blessing. You yourselves have free will and I can only call out to you: Remember your souls .... But whatever you do or refrain from doing must be done entirely voluntarily, you must not be influenced by anyone, for every influence can also have the opposite effect, that you inwardly rebel and distance yourselves from Me. You should put self-love on the back burner but let neighbourly love come to the fore, and you will truly achieve much .... and always seek refuge with Me .... For you should know that My adversary constantly tries to harass you and that you only reject him if you take the path to Me. (20.3.1961) And I want your love .... as soon as it is meant for Me you will no longer be able to love anything apart from Me which still belongs to My adversary .... Do you understand this? Love for Me also protects you from physical desire, for then I will be above everything, you will also want to gain and keep My love forever. Hence love should always motivate you to give yourselves away, love should always motivate you to relinquish .... You should always place your fellow human being's well-being above your own desire, and through your love for your fellow human being you will also prove your love for Me. You should fight self-love, and that also means overcoming your own desires if you can help your neighbour by doing so, i.e. by making your neighbour happy, by giving and helping him when he is in need .... If you have love within you, then you also know what you have to do, for love guides your thoughts right .... Love also awakens counter-love, and you should always bear this in mind that every lack of love awakens hostility and you will then no longer be able to cope with the evil spirits which will beset you .... You should always bear in mind that I do not evaluate the deed but the will, that I always judge according to whether love is the impetus for your will and action .... I condemn all self-love, I will bless all self-sacrificing love. But where all love is missing the door is opened for the adversary and you will not easily get rid of him again. And yet I know your innermost thoughts, you cannot hide anything from Me, your thoughts are open and clear to Me. But nevertheless you should come to Me and present everything to Me with complete trust that I will help you in all adversity. But I want to see your love, for if you are without love you will never be able to unite with Me, you will not be able to pray to Me intimately either, for there is resentment in your hearts if love is not in you, because My adversary has planted the seed which will now sprout where I Myself cannot be. Therefore seek to purify your hearts from such thoughts which are not in accordance with love for Me and your neighbour. Free yourselves from every kind of selfish love because it will prevent you from showing your neighbour the love he needs in order to be able to radiate love in return. And you will join Me ever more intimately, for true love, giving love which wants to please will always lead to Me, for it does not seek its own happiness but only that of the other person. And this one alone will now also live his life with Me and I will help him if he needs My help, I will bless his good will and protect him from every adversity of body and soul ...._>Amen

Divine Working of the spirit .... Speaking in tongues .... I.

B.D. 7855 from March 20th 1961, taken from Book No. 82

It is My will that everything will become clear to you, that you will receive the answer to the questions you entertain and which you present to Me for a reply. For it is necessary to still correct many errors you humans received from ignorant sources and which can only be clarified through My spirit, for it will guide you into all truth. Only My spirit can give you the right answer, but My spirit must be able to express itself, which presupposes a certain degree of maturity of soul. And it is definitely a blessing for you humans if you don't reject this spirit within you, if you allow its working by shaping yourselves such that I can illuminate you with My spirit .... that your indwelling spiritual spark therefore seeks contact with the Father-Spirit of eternity and instructs you, that it enlightens you, that it informs you of spiritual knowledge, that it guides you into truth .... Since you still live in spiritual darkness as long as My light cannot shine in you, you urgently need light which I Myself will ignite in you if you live according to My will, if you thus work at attaining the said maturity of soul which allows for the working of My spirit in you .... And now I Am asking you: What blessing do you humans derive from My working of the spirit if you merely hear the sound of unintelligible words? .... If a person goes into raptures and speaks words you cannot understand? .... Do you believe, My spirit works like that? Do you believe that you thereby become enlightened in your thinking, that you attain realisation, that truthful knowledge is imparted to you in this way? .... You call this 'speaking in tongues' and don't know what to make of such a tangle of words which are voiced by people who are controlled by evil spirits, who want to show off and deem themselves beyond being tested .... Such 'working of the spirit' is a deception by spirits .... which can take possession of people whose need for admiration is still too strong, who want to stand out and send themselves into ecstasies .... For that which comes from Me is light and clear, it does not spread renewed darkness amongst people. And thus, as long as you experience things which do not grant you light, not complete clarity, I Am not at work, as I Am the Light of eternity .... You humans need only ever apply the yardstick as to whether and to what extent you gain light and realisation .... Then you will have the clear answer to the question, who is at work .... For forces will never express themselves such that it only causes confusion, and I will never want you to be plunged from one question and ambiguity into another and for this emanate My working .... It is My will that there shall be light amongst people who desire the light themselves, but I also want you to turn to Me Myself and shape your hearts such that I Myself can work through My spirit in you .... I do not want you to hand yourselves over to immature spirits which throw you into ever greater darkness and are able to do so because you merely want to be imbued by 'a spirit' .... but not awaken the spiritual spark in you to life through love, which will then seek contact with the eternal Father-Spirit .... And this spirit will truly guide you into truth, it will speak to you clearly and comprehensibly, it will give you light, providing you seriously desire light ....

Amen

Divine working of the spirit .... Speaking in tongues .... II.

B.D. 7856 from March 23rd 1961, taken from Book No. 82

You may constantly receive My love and grace, at no time ever shall your measure be small, you shall always be given according to your desire. And thus you shall also be instructed if you are uninformed, spiritual knowledge shall be conveyed to you as soon as you require it for your salvation of soul. You shall become enlightened, and this light shines forth in you through the working of My spirit, because I love you. And nothing I bestow upon you will ever increase your darkness, it will never contribute towards spreading spiritual night over you. For when the 'Eternal Light' sends Its ray of love to you, you must be enlightened yourselves, everything must become clear to you. Don't forget this fundamental truth, then you will also always make the right judgment if this is demanded of you in regards to spiritual activity whose origin is debatable. Anything that comes from Me can only be light and only ever ignite light in you .... In contrast, anything that cannot offer you light does not come from Me; instead, its source is with My adversary, whose greatest endeavour is to keep you in spiritual darkness. But now, do not raise the objection that you are incapable of making a correct judgment .... For as soon as you turn to Me with the appeal for spiritual enlightenment, as soon as your request comes from the bottom of your heart and is voiced for the sake of pure truth, you may truly also rely on the fact that it will be granted to you, for every person is pleasing to Me to whom the truth is sacred, who strives for it and who turns to Me Myself, the Eternal Truth Itself. I won't leave you in spiritual darkness, and then you will always have the right thoughts and brightly and clearly recognise as to whether spiritual knowledge originates from Me or My adversary. However, only a few people genuinely desire truth, consequently, much can be presented as truth to the others without recognising the error. For then they will also accept everything thoughtlessly and endorse it again to their fellow human beings as truth and thereby add ever more darkness among the human race.

From My side no forceful elimination of such misguided teachings can ensue, because time and again people will be taken in by My adversary's activity and grant him access for as long as they don't seriously desire and request light from Me and because, until they do, countermeasures on My part will remain unsuccessful on account of people's free will. And so I can only ever grant light to those who want to escape the darkness; but they will indeed be illuminated by My light of love, and they will always recognise where My adversary has intervened in order to confuse people's thoughts. They will know that anything that is puzzling to people can never be My activity .... that I Am never at work when people speak what no-one can understand .... when they present themselves as being 'filled by the spirit of God' and cannot provide their fellow human beings with any light whatsoever. Don't believe every spirit, instead, test them seriously .... For My opposing spirit is working as well, especially during the time of the end, and he will cause increasingly more confusion by hiding behind My Word, behind the Book of the Fathers. He will draw you humans into error and be able to do so because you believe you know the truth and therefore don't seriously desire the truth, for which you must call upon Me for enlightenment. You believe that you can draw the truth from the Book of Books and fail to appeal to Me for the right spirit, so that you will understand this book properly, so that you won't merely read the letter without grasping the spirit concealed behind the letter. For the letter kills, only the spirit gives life. However, you can only grasp the spiritual meaning of the Word if a light has been kindled in you, if My spirit is able to work in you which enlightens you from within, so that you then will understand the meaning of the written Word. And you should always make sure as to whether you receive a very clear explanation .... For only that which comes from Me gives you this clear explanation. What you cannot understand despite your best intentions, what makes you question even more, is not from Me .... And you can unhesitatingly reject it as the working of My opposing spirit and need not be afraid that you will be held to account because of your rejection .... For the light will always affect you beneficially, whereas the darkness will make those of you withdraw who desire light. And My spirit is not at work as long as you question, as long as you cannot see clearly, instead, it is the work of the one who fights the light, i.e. the truth, and you should keep away from him ....

Amen

Charity .... following Jesus .... truth ....

B.D. 7857 from March 24th 1961, taken from Book No. 82

O take My way of life as an example for all of you and follow Me .... Live a life of love, practice patience and gentleness towards your neighbour, be peaceable and merciful and only ever strive to win your fellow human being's love, for then you will also encourage him to take you as an example and to live a life of love according to My will. Only love can help you to become blissfully happy, and therefore you must change your nature .... You must overcome selfish love, you must merge into love for your neighbour, your whole will and thinking must be borne by love .... you must not think of your neighbour in spitefulness, you must not harm him, you must not make yourselves judges over him, you must also patiently bear his weaknesses and only ever lovingly help him onto the right path so that he also recognizes himself and endeavours to change his nature .... And My blessing will rest on all will and actions, you will now follow Me in truth, Who was full of love and always ready to help. Therefore, whatever you undertake must always be determined by love .... you must always ask yourselves how I would act in your place? And your heart will always give you the answer that you only ever let love rule and don't give room to any ignoble thoughts in your heart. But you should also always remain in truth and not let your neighbour walk in error either, you should help him to recognize his error because it cannot result in blessing. Therefore, what you recognize as error you should lovingly present to your neighbour and leave it up to him whether he comes to Me with it and asks Me Myself for right thinking, for clarification. I Myself have promised you that I will not leave you in error if you seriously desire the truth, and I will also always fulfil My promises and give you light where it is still dark in you. But then also expect the answer in your heart when you ask Me questions from your heart .... Let yourselves be addressed by Me Myself and you will also hear a clear answer within yourselves .... It is My will that you enter into a heartfelt bond with Me yourselves, that you come to Me yourselves, so that you hear My address within yourselves and then also prove yourselves how you relate to Me. And I will always give you the opportunity to do so when you are moved by thoughts which you alone are not able to judge properly .... And then you should come to Me and ask Me .... and I will instruct you correctly so that you will feel clarity within yourselves and no longer question but act according to My will, because I put this will into your heart as an answer. And so you should all act yourselves who want to belong to Me .... you should also try to influence your neighbour if you want to be lovingly active towards him and protect him from error or wrongdoing. You only ever need the father, and just as I worked on earth with love, only ever taught love and gave love, so your earthly path should only ever be determined by love, then you will truly be true followers of Me, then you will work for the benefit of your fellow human beings, then you will truly be redeemingly active on earth ...._>Amen

God answers every question through the heart .... I.

B.D. 7858 from March 26th 1961, taken from Book No. 82

Everyone can work in My vineyard if only he has the will to be of service to Me. Yet there are many different things he can do because I only require a profoundly faithful heart which emanates love for its fellow human beings .... thereby awakening love in them again and this will spread and help to gain a living faith in a God and Creator .... And everyone who has a convinced faith of his own can also proclaim Jesus Christ, the divine Redeemer, in Whom I Myself accomplished the act of Salvation .... And he will be of service to Me, he will be My faithful servant, for he will also try to lead his fellow human beings to gain this faith. And I shall bless his will and manifest Myself to him, I will speak to him through his heart, he will sense it, he will be inwardly impelled to accomplish his vineyard work and be stimulated from within to speak to fellow human beings of good will when he meets them. And thus you can all serve Me and participate in the redemption work if this is your will .... The strength to do so will be conveyed to you by Me, Who knows your will and gives it My blessing. For there is great spiritual hardship because people no longer have faith, and My servants must be able to convincingly endorse this faith again if it is to be accepted by their fellow human beings, too. However, this redemption work need not be associated with any unusual activity, anyone can do it if he has living faith in Me and whose love applies to their fellow human beings suffering spiritual adversity, for My spirit works in everyone, even if it is not externally noticeable. And this silent redemptive work is frequently of greater value to Me than work of an externally obvious nature, the latter easily reveals earthly side effects which detract from the redemptive work. This risk occurs if overly eager people want to emphasise spiritual gifts .... if, regardless of where they are, they always expect My direct communication concerning personal wishes .... In that case they no longer allow Me to guide them, instead they try to oblige Me to take their wishes into account .... And then My spirit remains silent .... Then they speak themselves as people and jeopardize My working in them.

I indeed speak to all people through a human mouth if I seek to make the Gospel accessible to them in all purity, and if you humans comply with My will by living up to My Gospel then I will also be able to address every one of you through the heart, so that you will truly receive an answer to every question you have in mind .... But anyone who has not yet shaped himself though love such that he will be able to hear Me by feeling the answer I give to him, cannot expect a communication from those who would like to convey it to him either and thus the latter will pass on words which do not come from Me .... After all, it is My will that you should establish a close bond with Me yourselves, it is My will that you come to Me yourselves, that everyone should shape himself such that I will be able to answer him when he asks .... If you silently assure Me of your will to serve Me and to render redemption work you can also rest assured that I will look after you and you will truly not need any instruction conveyed to you from a fellow human being, for you thereby admit your own inadequacy: lack of love and trust in Me Who knows every question which moves you and Who will answer it if you ask Me .... The silent redemption work rendered by every individual person is truly more pleasing to Me than that carried out due to human influence, for you know that I welcome and accept all of you as My servants if you yourselves offer your services to Me and aim to fulfil My will .... Thus why do you desire confirmations which you expect Me to give to you through a human mouth? You thereby open a door for your adversary who will then try to express himself in accordance with your desire, because you demonstrate that you don't believe in My direct working within you, because you don't believe that I place the answer into your heart when you make contact with Me in prayer .... And due to this unbelief, he whom you should avoid will gain influence .... For he, too, uses fine words and you will seriously have to examine where these words originated from ....

Amen

God answers every question .... II.

B.D. 7859 from March 27th 1961, taken from Book No. 82

The reason why people so easily fall prey to misconception is due to the fact that their attitude towards Me is not yet entirely correct, even if the will for it is there, that is, if they have the will to be of service to Me. Their constant bond with Me would truly protect them from error, that is, they would recognise it as such. However, this bond is still not deep enough, and thus earthly thoughts still come to the fore which are taken up and considered by the intellect, but the intellect often consults a fellow human being and he can, if he is not closely enough united with Me either, also advise him wrongly. For this reason I Am only rarely able to convey the pure truth to earth, because this necessitates the most heartfelt contact with Me which prevents all interference by other forces. And therefore, only that person who establishes this intimate bond with Me and rejects any external influence, who only listens to what I Myself say to him through the heart will be protected from erroneous influence or error. It is indeed My will that you humans should unite in love, that one shall strengthen and support the other in faith, that you treat each other as brothers and strive together towards Me as your Father, but I also want every single person to connect with Me too; I want you to ask Me for advice yourselves .... I want you yourselves to appeal to Me to fulfil your every spiritual and earthly request .... I want this direct bond with Me when it relates to personal questions and wishes .... just as I, on the other hand, send to you My mediators and messengers to whom you should listen if you receive spiritual teachings, if My Gospel is intended to be conveyed to you ....

Understand that I want to speak to you through My instruments and will always do so when 'spiritual information' shall be imparted to you, because you are not capable as yet of receiving such teachings or deeper wisdom directly. Then I will always say: Listen to My messengers and fulfil My will .... But I will never impart thought concepts to you through your fellow human beings which have a different content than a 'spiritual' one .... because you should come to Me yourselves with every personal request. You should learn to differentiate between the 'transmission of My Word' and 'personal speeches' which can be received by anyone who makes heartfelt contact with Me, whereas My Word requires a special mediator or vessel in order to be able to flow into it as an outpouring of My spirit .... And therefore you should be careful and realise that you can easily fall prey to error, for where My adversary recognises a human weakness he can effortlessly slip in and avail himself of it. However, you can rest assured that I protect 'My Word' from every error, from the adversary's influence, because I want to guide you humans into the truth. Nevertheless, you should not carelessly believe every Word which rings out to you as a spiritual transmission, you should seriously scrutinise it as to whether its content is purely spiritual, whether it aims to achieve the maturing of your souls, whether it can be spoken of as given by Me for your soul's salvation. And you should entrust your own wishes to Me, and then I will also speak to you through your heart and you will subsequently know what you should or should not do ....

Amen

Love, wisdom and power of God ....

B.D. 7860 from March 29th 1961, taken from Book No. 82

Where My love and wisdom is active, where My might can become effective, My blessing will also be recognizable, for I only ever endeavour to help you humans to perfect yourselves on earth .... And I bless those who support Me in this endeavour, who enter into My will as a human being, who make it possible for My love, wisdom and might to express itself .... who establish a close bond with Me, their God and father of eternity .... For deep darkness is spread across the earth, people walk in spiritual darkness, they are wrongly guided in their thinking and therefore their way of life does not correspond to My will either, and it would never be possible to lead them towards perfection if a light could not shine for them which leads them out of the darkness of night .... If you humans walk in the light then you will clearly recognize the path which leads to perfection .... And you will also walk it if only you ignite the spark of light within yourselves in free will. For this spark is light whose ray can intensify if only you are of good will. My love for you is boundless, My wisdom recognizes your state, and My might can and will truly seek to improve this state if you don't oppose Me. And therefore I convey My word to earth and bless every person who prepares himself such that he can hear My voice, that he can hear My word, which is truly the greatest means of grace for you to mature in your souls, to perfect you as long as you live on earth. You should never forget that My nature is love, that this love applies to you, My living creations, and that it wants to help you .... And this love of Mine will not let you walk in error if you seriously desire the truth. My wisdom, however, recognizes that you lack the truth but that you can only attain perfection through the truth. So what could be more obvious than for My power to express itself because My love and wisdom would like to supply you with what you lack? If only you seriously try to imagine My nature, if you first believe in My infinite love for you, then you need never fear that this love will deny itself to you .... Thus you need not fear that you, who need the truth, will be deprived of it .... because this would not correspond to My wisdom, which only wants to promote your perfection but not error, confusion and your decline .... And I truly also have the power to push away My adversary who would certainly like to counteract but cannot do so as soon as you are devoted to Me, as soon as you only want to comply with My will, as soon as you entrust yourselves to Me without reservation. Only believe in Me, believe that the father will not let His children run into ruin who trust in His protection and His love .... do not believe that My might was not sufficient to resist My adversary when he wants to oppress you .... when he tries to prevent My working on you .... Love, wisdom and power .... that is My Essence .... Love protects you, wisdom knows all means and power carries out what love and wisdom decide. And thus My 'essence' is always expressed in My word which I convey to you from above and which you can therefore also always recognize as My word .... For I want you humans to attain eternal life, beatitude, light .... For I am the truth, the way and the life .... Whoever entrusts himself to Me unconditionally will also truly reach the light, the truth will be presented to him, he will take the right path and irrevocably reach the life which lasts forever .... Only open yourselves to the light from above which wants to shine upon you, don't close your hearts when My word sounds to you, when it is given to you, because you need My flow of strength of love in order to attain life ...._>Amen

Free will must accept the work of redemption ....

B.D. 7861 from March 30th 1961, taken from Book No. 82

You are bound, and this shows mercy to Me .... you are still in My adversary's bondage as long as you don't let yourselves be redeemed by Me. And therefore you are weakened, you lack strength and light. For he still has you under his control which prevents you from voluntarily letting yourselves be illuminated by My strength of love and coming out of your state of weakness. Yet My love is for you, My living creations, and it has also followed you into the abyss; My love wants to lift you up from the abyss, it wants to help you to ascend again, to return to Me, and My love will not rest until it has reached its aim. But you must remember Me, you must acknowledge Me as your divine redeemer, otherwise you place yourselves outside of those for whom I shed My blood on the cross. Through My crucifixion I redeemed your guilt of sin which caused you to become weak and wretched, I paid the ransom for you to My adversary, but you must now also accept My redemption, you must have the will yourselves to get away from your jailer, you must press towards Me deep in your heart and thereby prove to Me that you have changed your will, which once turned away from Me towards My adversary. And then you will truly become free from him, you will emerge from your state of weakness, you will receive strength and light again and come ever closer to Me, Who is only waiting for your union with Me in free will, which will then also provide you with abundant beatitudes. I did everything for you .... I gave My life on the cross in order to lead you out of wretchedness towards a new life, an eternal life in bliss. However, your own will always remains decisive as to how you relate to Me and My act of salvation. If you don't come under My cross, if you keep yourselves far away from Me, then the burden of sin will remain with you, you will not be released from it and it will press you to the ground, it will keep you in the abyss and you will not be able to lift yourselves up under your burden. And then My death on the cross was in vain for you, you refuse to avail yourselves of the blessings of the act of salvation, and you will never be able to cope with your burden of sin, you will take it with you into the kingdom of the beyond where only He can remove it from you Whom you did not want to acknowledge on earth but Whom you inevitably have to acknowledge if you want to be released from your guilt. For this reason you should take the path to the cross on earth, you should turn to your redeemer Jesus Christ Who, full of mercy, also took your guilt upon Himself when He walked the path to the cross .... You should entrust yourselves to Me and appeal to Me for forgiveness of your guilt, Who took abode in the man Jesus in order to suffer and die for you as a human being, because I took pity on your wretchedness and weakness and wanted to help you in your adversity with My infinite love. Believe that you need Me in order to become blissfully happy and realize that you are not blissfully happy in your present state, that you are weak and helplessly dependent on My grace and mercy, that you therefore have to turn to Me Myself because I will not make your will unfree, because your will itself has to turn to Me, which once turned away from Me in blindness of thought. I died for you on the cross and took all your guilt upon Myself in order to buy your freedom back from the lord, who dragged you down with Him to the abyss .... He will not release you if you yourselves do not want Me to deliver you from his power .... But he is powerless against you if you are only willing to let yourselves be redeemed by Me .... if you go under the cross and there lay your burden of sin at My feet .... and My endless love will truly take it from you .... My endless love will open the gate into the kingdom of light for you and you will reach the life that lasts forever ...._>Amen

The "bound" shall be redeemed ....

B.D. 7862 from April 1st 1961, taken from Book No. 82

You should open your hearts to My illumination of love from above and you will receive delicious spiritual knowledge, because My love pours into an open heart and thus the flow of My love is synonymous with the 'truth from God' which resounds in you as My word. And thus, as soon as divine truth can be bestowed upon you, you will also most lightfully recognize My once spoken word to you of spiritual meaning .... You will know how I want these words of Mine to be understood:

You are in My adversary's chains as long as you have no faith in the divine redeemer Jesus Christ, for you have become his property of your own free will, he has power over you, you are not free but creatures bound by him .... And if you want to become free again, then you must be redeemed by the one Who is stronger than he is and Who broke his power through His crucifixion, Who redeemed you humans from his power with His blood .... This one, Jesus Christ, has broken the chains, the adversary can no longer offer resistance to this one, since He gave His life on the cross in order to restore freedom to the bound creatures, in order to "redeem" them ..... But this 'redemption' could not take place abruptly because every creature which had emerged from My strength and love had its free will which now has to decide for itself whether the creature longs for redemption from its dungeon master, whether it wants to escape from his control. When I appointed My disciples to their ministry, when I instructed them to go out into the world in order to proclaim the gospel to all nations, I instructed them to mention My act of salvation so that people should know that I had descended to earth in order to restore their freedom .... I Myself initiated My disciples into My plan of salvation, I informed them that people were 'bound' and in the adversary's power if they did not take their path to Me, that I would release them from his power .... I instructed My disciples to exercise their ministry and, in turn, to instruct their fellow human beings which path they had to take in order to escape their bondage, in order to become free from My adversary's chains .... for they were supposed to be active in My stead, because I only lived on earth as a human being for a short time, even only with the ultimate aim of redeeming people. But anyone who fully consciously availed himself of the blessings of My act of salvation was prompted by My disciples to change his will, and his return to Me was now also guaranteed, he had taken the right path on earth and this path was now also decisive for eternity .... You humans must understand that you are still 'bound' when you embody yourselves on earth as a human being, and that you take this earthly path in order to find your way out of this bondage. Yet for this reason you must also know that you are bound and who keeps you bound .... And again you must know that there is one Who can bring you release from your bondage and what you must do in order to become free. The knowledge of this is conveyed to you through My word, which My true servants proclaim to you. And these servants must be taught by Me themselves so that they can impart truthful knowledge to you .... And My instruction to these servants will always be to make My will known to people. And whoever listens to these servants and messengers will therefore let them show him the path which leads to freedom .... For My servants will point him to Jesus Christ, Who alone can set them free from the adversary's power, Who can loosen their chains because He broke the adversary's power through His death on the cross .... He alone redeems, He alone sets them free, and it is He Who shall be proclaimed by My servants and representatives on earth. And therefore their work is also blessed, for through their service for Me they can show people the path to freedom who are therefore willing to walk it ...._>Amen

7863 (Easter)

Original light from eternity .... Jesus Christ ....

My spirit has become effective in you when you enable Me to speak to you, when I convey My word to you and you hear it in your heart as My direct address. And this word shall convey the truth to you which you need in order to become blissfully happy. Everything you need to know will be announced to you through the voice of the spirit. For as long as I cannot teach you Myself you are blind in spirit, that is, you are without all knowledge, you are without inner light. But I am the original light from eternity, and all beingness which has emerged from Me shall move in this light, otherwise it cannot be blissful .... Thus I let My light emanate into infinity; I radiate through all beingness which does not oppose Me .... I let My light shine down to earth, I guide it to people who are lightless at the beginning of their embodiment .... I guide them into truth, into truthful knowledge which also explains their existence on earth and which provides them with information about the meaning and purpose of their life .... And this knowledge means light for them, which emanates from the eternal light and also leads back to the eternal light again. This knowledge is very extensive, for it encompasses My entire plan of salvation, it encompasses the work of My creation, the apostasy of the created and its return to Me .... It is an act of My greater than great love for you that I convey this knowledge to you, that I give you a light again, you who once rejected this light and thereby became darkened in spirit. But you shall not remain in this darkness forever, and therefore I Myself want to illuminate your earthly path on which you can return to Me again .... If you know about your past apostasy from Me, about your original sin, which was the reason why you once had to walk the earth as a human being, then all other knowledge will also become understandable to you .... And when I Myself can impart this knowledge to you through the voice of the spirit then you will have already come considerably closer to Me, then you will have already separated yourselves from the one who once dragged you down with him to the abyss .... You have then established the bond with Me, otherwise I would not be able to speak to you .... You have become free, you have escaped the adversary's power, you have consciously turned to Me, your will desires Me again, from Whom you once took your departure .... And you were able to set yourselves free because the divine redeemer Jesus Christ helped you to do so, without Whom it would never be possible for you to become free from satan's bondage. And the knowledge of the divine redeemer Jesus Christ is the strongest light which shines to you through My love, for it determines your beatitude .... You must be permeated by this light, for as long as you are without knowledge of the great act of mercy of the man Jesus you will walk along in darkened spirit and be unable to recognize another light. For in Jesus Christ I Myself, the original light from eternity, descended to earth in order to dissolve the darkness, in order to kindle a light of love in people's hearts which illuminated their path upwards. All of you humans will come to a crossroads on your earthly journey .... And then you will be pointed to Jesus Christ and you will have to take the path to Him, Who died on the cross for you humans in order to redeem the original sin of your apostasy from Me .... My greater than great love will try to provide you all with the knowledge about Him, I will also give you all a light beforehand by trying to enlighten you about Jesus and His mission .... But first this light has to find nourishment in yourselves and light up into a bright flame. You yourselves must turn to Him of your own free will .... And then your return to Me is also assured, Who Myself in Jesus accomplished the work of salvation on the cross .... In the darkness of spirit you lack all knowledge, and darkness of spirit is when My adversary tries to push you away from the light, when he prevents you from working with love, because love is the light from eternity .... And therefore I will only ever stimulate you into loving activity and do so through the voice of conscience as long as I cannot address you directly.... But My spiritual spark in you expresses itself very quietly for the time being, so that only a small help is given to you .... And your will will then decide. And when it has decided in favour of Me then My light will shine ever brighter in it; it will recognize Jesus Christ, it will recognize Me in Him and never ever will it fall back into darkness, for My light will draw it upwards, in the light it will recognize the path and reach its aim .... he unites with Me forever ...._>Amen

Original light from eternity .... Jesus Christ ....

B.D. 7863 from April 2nd 1961, taken from Book No. 82

My spirit has become effective in you when you enable Me to speak to you, when I convey My word to you and you hear it in your heart as My direct address. And this word shall convey the truth to you which you need in order to become blissfully happy. Everything you need to know will be announced to you through the voice of the spirit. For as long as I cannot teach you Myself you are blind in spirit, that is, you are without all knowledge, you are without inner light. But I am the original light from eternity, and all beingness which has emerged from Me shall move in this light, otherwise it cannot be blissful .... Thus I let My light emanate into infinity; I radiate through all beingness which does not oppose Me .... I let My light shine down to earth, I guide it to people who are lightless at the beginning of their embodiment .... I guide them into truth, into truthful knowledge which also explains their existence on earth and which provides them with information about the meaning and purpose of their life .... And this knowledge means light for them, which emanates from the eternal light and also leads back to the eternal light again. This knowledge is very extensive, for it encompasses My entire plan of salvation, it encompasses the work of My creation, the apostasy of the created and its return to Me .... It is an act of My greater than great love for you that I convey this knowledge to you, that I give you a light again, you who once rejected this light and thereby became darkened in spirit. But you shall not remain in this darkness forever, and therefore I Myself want to illuminate your earthly path on which you can return to Me again .... If you know about your past apostasy from Me, about your original sin, which was the reason why you once had to walk the earth as a human being, then all other knowledge will also become understandable to you ....

Redemption of guilt through death on the cross ....

B.D. 7864 from April 3rd 1961, taken from Book No. 82

From the night of death you came to life through My death on the cross. Darkness was your fate and would have remained so if I had not taken pity on you and opened the gate into the kingdom of light for you again by redeeming your guilt of sin Myself, by shedding My blood for you, by paying the purchase price for your souls to the adversary who had held you captive for eternities until I Myself redeemed your guilt on the cross. Now he had to release you, he could no longer keep you in bondage if you are willing to release yourselves from him, if you take refuge in Me, Who accomplished the act of salvation for you .... Your guilt of sin of the past apostasy from Me was immeasurably great, and thus the work of atonement also had to be unusual .... And a soul of light, an original spirit that came forth from Me, offered itself for you .... His fallen brothers .... to make atonement for you in order to lead you back to Me Myself again, in order to clear the path into the kingdom of light for you again, which otherwise would have remained eternally blocked for you. This soul of light descended to earth, it took on a human shell, it lived a life of love as a human being and thereby prepared itself to become a vessel in which I Myself could now take shelter .... And I took abode in this human being Jesus and accomplished the work of salvation in Him .... The man Jesus took immense suffering upon Himself, for He wanted to atone for all of humanity's guilt of sin through His path of suffering, which ended with the most bitter death on the cross .... He wanted to make satisfaction for My righteousness because He knew that no being could stay close to Me which was still burdened by sin. And I accepted His sacrifice because love brought it .... For love was in Him, and love was I Myself .... This act of becoming human in Jesus will always remain a mystery for you humans, for only when you have fathomed the 'essence of love' will you also be able to understand this act of love of My becoming human .... For I Myself, as 'God', could not suffer, the atonement had to be made by a 'human being' who was capable of suffering and also willing to suffer, for I could not determine a human being to make such a sacrifice for his fellow human beings .... But Jesus, the human being, was full of love, and this love determined Him to freely offer Himself as a sacrifice of atonement to the father, Whom He loved with all the ardour of His soul. Thus He accepted Me completely into His heart, for every thought, every breath, was meant for Me, from Whom He had come forth .... But he who abides in love abides in Me and I in him .... thus it was I Who completely filled the man Jesus and Who therefore also offered the sacrifice, Who accomplished the act of salvation for all people of the present, the past and the future. The man Jesus took immense suffering upon Himself in order to atone for the great guilt, and I was satisfied with this act of love and redeemed the great guilt, and the path to the kingdom of light was cleared, the bridge from the kingdom of darkness to the height was built, which can now be entered by every person who wants to ascend from the abyss .... And I conquered death, which he had brought into the world who first apostatized from Me .... I have risen from the dead, I have conquered death and acquired life for every human being who only acknowledges Me as redeemer of the world, who consciously avails himself of the graces of the work of salvation, who bears his sins under the cross and asks for forgiveness of his guilt .... I have risen from the dead to give you humans the evidence that you, too, will rise to eternal life if only you believe in Me, if only you let yourselves be redeemed by Me. Then there will be no more death for you, then you will be free from all guilt because I Myself have redeemed it as the man Jesus ...., then the kingdom of light with all its glory will be open to you ...., then you will truly have emerged from the night of death into the light of life, and then you will also never lose this life again, for you have now received it from My hand, Who has loved you from the beginning and will love you for all eternity ...._>Amen

A renewal of earth must come ....

B.D. 7865 from April 5th 1961, taken from Book No. 82

Earth will have to be renewed if the higher development of the spiritual beings is to progress; all works of creation will have to release the spirits so that they can continue their development within new forms, as this is the purpose of the work of creation called 'earth' .... For it does not just concern you humans who voluntarily ought to reach your final goal on earth but fail to do so .... it also concerns the spiritual substance bound within the form which has not yet been able to arrive at the possibility of being of service and to which the path of service shall be opened. As long as you humans do not know the meaning and purpose of creation, you will not consider the possibility of an impending transformation of the earth's surface either. And yet it is about to happen and may only be experienced by people who have fulfilled the purpose of their earthly life, who have matured fully and therefore will populate the new earth .... Hence they also know God's plan of Salvation, they believe that they live in the last days and expect the end and with it the coming of the Lord, as it is proclaimed in Word and Scripture. But there are only few of them ....

People's low spiritual level is so obvious that the time has come when a change must happen again .... when all spirits have to be placed into forms which correspond to their state of maturity .... And thus the human being, having completely failed, will also have to be banished into hard matter again and start a new process of development; whereas the spiritual being bound within matter may occupy increasingly softer forms until it reaches the stage one day when it can take the path across earth as a human being for his last decision of will. The fact that people will experience this harsh fate of a new banishment is the result of their free will, for they no longer have any spiritual aspirations on earth, they are totally attached to matter and will therefore become what they aspired to in this earthly life. Nevertheless, they have been sufficiently admonished and warned, during their earthly life they have been informed of the purpose of earthly life, and no person will be able to say that he had absolutely no knowledge of it. The fact that he, of his own free will, had rejected everything that could have increased his maturity is his own fault which he consequently will also have to pay for. A continuation of the old earth, however, would never ensure that these people would change; they would only ever descend further and also prevent the spirits within the form from progressing further. But who will believe this if he is informed of it?

As soon as people no longer believe in God, in a continuation of life after death, in a responsibility on their part, the said low spiritual level will have been reached which necessitates the end, the dissolution of earthly creations. For in that case people's existence on earth would be pointless, the blessing of an embodiment as a human being would no longer be made use of, the earth will have ceased to be a place of education for the spiritual beings and a total transformation will have to happen to put an end to this unspiritual state of affairs. And you humans will shortly face this transformation, you will shortly face a spiritual and earthly turning point, for the time which was granted to you for the maturing of your souls has come to an end. Until the end you will be warned and admonished, until the end you will be instructed about the purpose of your existence, you will receive the knowledge of God's plan of Salvation, of His infinite love for all His living creations and of the possibility and help on His part to become blessed before the end arrives .... However, you have to accept all this of your own free will, you have to seriously want to fulfil the purpose of your human existence .... you have to acknowledge a God above yourselves and appeal to Him for mercy .... And truly, you will still be saved in the last hour, otherwise the Judgment will take effect on you, otherwise you will get what you are striving for .... you will turn into matter again which had kept you tied to the earth so that you didn't take the path of ascent and therefore will end up in the abyss again ....

Amen

People need the truth ....

B.D. 7866 from April 8th 1961, taken from Book No. 82

The transmission of the pure gospel to earth has become urgently necessary, and therefore I chose an instrument for Myself which is active in My will, because it completely subordinates its will to Mine and serves Me as a suitable vessel into which I can let My flow of love flow .... For My flow of love is 'My word' .... It is My gospel which I proclaim again in all purity as I did on earth .... but which has not been preserved so purely and therefore always needs correction from My side if you humans want to speak of 'My word' .... You church Christians do not want to believe that the pure word of God is no longer offered to you. You undoubtedly accept everything as 'My word' but serious reflection would reveal many contradictions, you would certainly not recognize Me Myself in this word which has been distorted by people, so that you have long since ceased to live in truth and are therefore also in danger of not reaching the aim which has been set for you in earthly life, because only truth guarantees you this aim. But again and again I therefore want to convey the pure truth to you, and you need only accept it in order to safely take the path of ascent, the aim of which is Me Myself, with Whom you should unite .... And thus I offer you the truth Myself which will enable you to attain beatitude. And you humans should listen to what is conveyed to you through an instrument chosen by Me Myself, what is brought to you as My true gospel, so that you will walk the path of truth. If I call upon you to do so, I nevertheless want you to examine everything, that you don't accept anything thoughtlessly, for it shall become your own spiritual knowledge, and this requires a serious opinion, an examination in the will to only accept the right spiritual knowledge which corresponds to the truth. And then your thinking will truly also be enlightened, you will feel what you are allowed to accept, for the truth will beneficially touch your soul, whereas every error leaves the soul unimpressed, i.e., it will not result in spiritual progress for you. For you can truly believe that I want to convey the truth to you and that this is also possible if I find a heart which is willing to serve, which completely submits to Me and My will, which desires the truth itself and allows My spirit to work within itself. For it is the end time and it has become urgently necessary that the pure truth is presented to people .... It has become urgently necessary that I Myself take care of those who desire the truth, it has become urgently necessary that the many errors are denounced which are also spread where people believe they are 'serving Me' .... Although every person could recognize for himself the errors which have crept in where truth is allegedly proclaimed .... For as soon as people lived in accordance with My divine commandment of love they would also be of enlightened spirit, i.e. their thinking would be correctly directed and they would reject all misguided teachings; yet they pay too little attention to My commandments of love and therefore do not realize that they are being wrongly guided. And therefore they have to hear My divine teaching of love anew, they have to be given the gospel anew which only ever contains this teaching of love, because love is everything .... because without love the human being cannot live in truth and because without love he can never reach his final aim: the union with Me, Who am eternal love Itself .... And thus don't be surprised when I address you humans and send you My disciples again .... don't be surprised when I convey 'My word' to you in all purity, for this word is necessary if it is to become light in you, because only truth is light which originates from Me and leads back to Me again .... because only truth shows you the right path which leads to light and beatitude ...._>Amen

God's infinite love wants to give itself away ....

B.D. 7867 from April 9th 1961, taken from Book No. 82

You will enter the spheres of heavenly bliss if you have lived your earthly life in accordance with My will .... Yet it is not this promise that should persuade you to live your life correctly but your love for Me, Who wants to give you these beatitudes because I love you beyond measure but I also want to possess your love .... I created you out of My love, and this love will never end. And one day, when you have become enlightened, the concept of love, which you cannot grasp as a human being as long as you still lack love, will also have become comprehensible for you .... But to be without love is a state of unhappiness for every living creation that came forth from Me, because it is also a state of weakness and darkness in which happiness is unthinkable. A life in accordance with My will is, however, a life of love and this will also lead you back into a state of blissfulness ....

After the death of your body you will enter My kingdom which will provide you with unimaginable splendours that My love has prepared for all My beings which will join Me again in love. Love cannot do anything other than give joy and seek unification, for love wants to give itself away, it wants to please because this is the nature of love .... And since My love was overwhelming and wanted to give itself away I created beings for Myself to which I could give Myself .... I created vessels for Myself which accepted the flow of My love and I united Myself with these beings and continuously let My ray of love flow into them .... And thus I made them abundantly happy .... The fact that they eventually resisted My illumination of love was due to a special reason but it did not prevent Me from pursuing these beings with My love, it just didn't make them happy anymore because they resisted it, because they had detached themselves from Me.

Nevertheless, since love is never-ending it will also never remain inactive but try to regain what had fallen away from it .... My love has never stopped to entice back to Me that which had fallen away and will continue to do so until it has returned to Me of its own free will. For no being can remain closed to My illumination of love forever, because love is a power which does not stay ineffective, and because the beings' resistance will diminish sooner or later, becoming constantly less until they finally open themselves again in order to be made blissfully happy by My love for all eternity. And that which has found its way back to Me will never leave Me again .... It will not be able to descend into the abyss anymore, for once it has travelled the path through the lowest points with the ultimate accomplishment of having attained the pinnacle again it will also be inseparably united with Me, for it will have reached perfection which I was unable to give to the being Myself, since it required free will to remain in perfection, and this free will has been proven .... otherwise I could also forcibly obtain their love, but then one could never speak of unrestricted happiness, for love does not tolerate compulsion, it has to turn to Me voluntarily, which is proven by the human being when he lives on earth according to My will, when he shapes himself into love, which is his fundamental nature ....

In My kingdom, however, everything is love .... and you all shall enter this kingdom of love, you all shall be immeasurably happy one day when you unite yourselves with Me, your Father of eternity, Whose love created you and Whose love will also pursue you if you keep yourselves distant from Me .... Yet you will not remain distant from Me forever, because My love is stronger than your will of resistance, because one day you will submit yourselves to My love again, because it will also ignite itself in you and grow into a bright blaze, because I will then be and remain the goal and the object of your love for all eternity ....

Amen

Address of God to the disciples of the last days ....

B.D. 7868 from April 10th 1961, taken from Book No. 82

Nothing shall hold you back from standing up for Me and My word; you should always be ready to testify of Me if you want to be true servants to Me who proclaim My gospel to people .... You should mention My gifts of grace, My working in you, which you can prove through the abundance of spiritual knowledge, for you will not need to fear any objection which you cannot refute, because then you speak on My behalf and your spirit is guided by Me. Great spiritual knowledge has been conveyed to you through the working of My spirit within you, and if possible you should also convey this knowledge to your fellow human beings, and especially to those who do not oppose you, who willingly listen to you, for it is then up to their will how they utilize this knowledge. You should pass on this knowledge wherever possible, for what has been given to you by Me truly has its strength within itself and must also have a beneficial effect unless My gift of grace is opposed by a defence which renders its strength ineffective. And you should not tire of working for Me and My kingdom, for this work alone will result in everlasting possessions because it is done for people's souls. And you should always emphasize Jesus Christ's act of salvation and stress that it is repeatedly mentioned by Me, that the redemption through Jesus Christ is the main content of the spiritual knowledge I impart to you .... You should emphasize how important the problem of redemption and becoming human is and that no person can become blessed who lives without Jesus Christ and departs from earth without Him. But you should also explain to your fellow human beings why Jesus came to earth and what His actual mission was .... You should constantly be active for Me and My kingdom, for this alone is necessary that people seek contact with Me, that they direct their thoughts into the kingdom which is not of this world .... that they don't just remain attached to the world but that people remember their actual purpose of earthly life .... You, My servants, have been informed of everything, and you are constantly instructed so that you, too, can teach according to the truth, so that you can pass on the spiritual knowledge which is intended to be a blessing for you humans .... For I alone know why I convey this gift of grace to you, I alone know what you need, what you must know in order to attune yourselves correctly to Me, in order to successfully travel the earthly path for your soul's maturity .... I was able to reveal Myself to you, My servants, because your will allowed it. Yet not all people can receive these revelations directly, and you should be mediators for them so that they, too, can partake of the blessings if they are willing to listen to you, if they don't completely unbelievingly reject everything that is offered to them. Humanity is in great spiritual hardship because it lives in complete ignorance or has been instructed in wrong knowledge and lacks the truth .... therefore I want to bring them the truth so that they can believe with conviction .... for only the truth can trigger this conviction in them. You are in possession of truth and you shall carry it on .... And anyone of good will will also recognize the value of what you bring to them, for My word speaks for itself, My word has strength and is able to touch people's hearts so that they strike Me, so that they feel My flow of grace beneficially and turn towards Me and I Myself can then take hold of them in order to never let them go again forever .... I send you, My disciples of the last days, out into the world again .... i.e., I give you the task to spread My gospel again, which you receive from Me yourselves, and I will always bless your work, you will be able to carry it out for Me because I also supply you with the strength to be able to work for Me. For you are My mediators, you are My servants in My vineyard, and truly, your father of the house will always assign you the work so that you will be able to do it .... I will take care of you spiritually and bodily, and you need only earnestly want and your work will be successful .... You will find open hearts, you will not knock at the doors in vain, for you will walk the paths where I guide you, because I know who opens himself to My address, who desires My word and whose souls can be nourished because they are of good will ...._>Amen

Final aim of the act of creation: childhood of God ....

B.D. 7869 from April 11th 1961, taken from Book No. 82

The fact that you are My share will also have to be experienced by My adversary one day, for he will not be able to keep you for himself forever, because what originated from Me must irrevocably return to Me according to the law of eternity. And he himself will also take the path to Me when he is deprived of all his strength, which he sees in his now following .... Nevertheless, it has been granted to him to also wrestle for your possessions because you once followed him voluntarily. And it will be proven which power is stronger .... My love, which applies to you, My living creations, for all eternity, or his hatred, which keeps you bound but from which you yourselves can escape as soon as this is only your will, because then you will strive back to Me again and then also experience My support in abundance .... And therefore My endeavour, as well as His, is only ever to win your will, and as this decides, so also is the 'lord' determined, whom you call yourselves .... And even though you still turn this will towards him for a long time, even though you still remain with him in free will for eternities, your resistance will nevertheless one day be broken and you will surrender to My love, for love is strength which achieves everything and to which you will one day surrender. And thus his strength will also diminish more and more until he himself lies powerless on the ground and will appeal to Me for an influx of strength. But eternities will still pass until then, and until then we will both wrestle for souls, for I will not give up anything which has emerged from My love .... just as he no longer wants to lose what he believes to possess eternally. But the time of distance from Me is a process of development for you towards the highest perfection, a process towards the attainment of childship to God .... You do not yet understand what this means, for you were indeed created by Me as supremely perfect beings but you were only 'creatures' which could not be other than as they were created .... I had created you and thus you were 'works', coming forth from My hand .... But I wanted to have something beside Me which had shaped itself in free will in such a way that it was supremely perfect .... I wanted to have beings next to Me which I could call 'children', which therefore were not so formed as a result of My will but whose own free will had striven for and attained perfection .... and who then were also in truth My 'children' .... But this decision had to be made by them themselves, they had to have taken the path of development of their own accord, and therefore it was left up to the created beings to remain in their state of perfection given to them by Me or to strive away from Me .... and the latter meant that they surrendered the light and freedom they possessed .... it meant that they themselves resisted My love which wanted to illuminate them and they became imperfect because they separated from Me of their own will. And I allowed this to happen for the sake of the lofty aim that they returned to Me again as 'children', although they would never have had to do without My illumination of love if this had been their free will .... For My angelic spirit, which was the first to emerge, was also the first to detach itself from Me, and since it was visible to the beings in radiant abundance of light, countless beings followed it .... Thus they likewise separated from Me of their own free will, they relinquished their perfection in order to regain it again by an infinitely long path .... in order to go through the process of attaining childship to God and to approach supreme bliss .... Since this was and is the final aim of My act of creation, everything that once fell away from Me also returns to Me again. But the process of development can take eternities, depending on the spirit being's will, if it walks across earth as a human being and is to prove its now free will .... And whether it fails and fails again and again .... one day it will return to Me, and then its bliss will find no end .... for then I will have achieved what I wanted but could not create for Myself: supremely perfect children who do not have to work according to My will but create and work in free will, as it is also My will, and therefore they are immeasurably blissfully happy ...._>Amen

Devotion to God .... knowing Jesus Christ ....

B.D. 7870 from April 12th 1961, taken from Book No. 82

How easy and carefree is your path through life if you take it by My hand, if you walk it in constant company of Me, if you only ever entrust yourselves to Me and let Me take care of you. Then you will also surely reach your aim, for you will truly not take the wrong path by My hand .... Heartfelt devotion to Me also guarantees that I will be your constant guide and companion, for where a heart of love beats towards Me I will no longer give way, for there My adversary has lost his right .... even though he will again and again try to present the world's charms to you in order to turn you away from Me again. Yet anyone who is seized by My love, who makes it possible for My love to shine upon him, no longer desires the world and its pleasures .... He has found other goods which are worth striving for, and he no longer turns his gaze back but steadfastly upwards where he sees Me and now strives towards Me with all his senses .... The devotion to Me must have taken place, then the human being has also passed his test of will, then his will has confessed Me, then the path of return has finally been taken, which is guaranteed to end with Me .... And therefore I will promise you My constant presence if only you are willing to possess it, for then you will give Me your will and I will now never leave you again. Thus it need not mean an act of violence to acquire Me and My kingdom if only you give yourselves to Me in love .... But he will have to use force who still lacks love for Me, who still belongs to the world and therefore has to fight against the desire for the world .... A long time can pass until he has established the intimate bond with Me, although I also pursue him with My love and again and again try to capture him .... But I do not force his will, and he often still takes the path of worldly pleasures and joys which leads downwards and is repeatedly presented to the human being by My adversary as appealing until he frees himself from his desires of his own accord, until he turns his eyes towards Me and demands that I take him by the hand and guide him upwards .... It is always only a matter of your serious will, which must arise in the heart and cannot be replaced by mere words .... It is about the human being changing, that his nature, which until now was determined by My adversary, now allows itself to be determined by Me, that the human being enters into My will, that he fulfils the fundamental law of love, that he inserts himself into the eternal order again and thus takes on his original nature .... It is a matter of him no longer offering resistance when My love beams at him, i.e. that he consciously opens himself, that he desires to enter into contact with Me again and to possess My love which he had once rejected. Then he consciously acknowledges Me, and he also recognizes the former sin of apostasy .... But all this is not possible if he has not found the divine redeemer Jesus Christ .... For He alone gives him the strength to turn away from My adversary and towards Me .... It is He alone Who will then lead you by the hand, for He and I are one .... And the turning towards Me must therefore take place in Him, because otherwise you would never have the strength to separate yourselves willfully from the adversary .... For this lack of strength was the consequence of the great sin of turning away from Me, which has now only been atoned for through Jesus .... thus your weakness of will could only be strengthened by Him to turn away from My adversary and towards Me again, Who will now take you by the hand and truly lead you to the right aim. And if your will has decided in favour of Me, then you also belong to those redeemed through Jesus' blood, you have found Him and recognized Me Myself in Him .... The heartfelt devotion to Me is also connected with the living faith in Jesus Christ, because you now brightly and clearly recognize His mission and are no longer able to separate Me from Him .... For devotion to Me takes place in love, and love is the light which now shines through you again, as it once did .... Without love you will not find the path to Me, without love you will not seek union with Me .... But love binds us together again eternally, love recognizes that you must join Me if you want to be eternally happy .... and love urges you towards Me, Who will now never ever let you go ...._>Amen

Purpose of earthly existence ....

B.D. 7871 from April 13th 1961, taken from Book No. 82

You yourselves gave rise to your existence on earth when you refused to remain in the circuit of My flow of love. You had been independent beings which I externalised out of My love but which had always been in most heartfelt contact with Me and were therefore always permeated by My strength of love. As long as you accepted this emanation of love you were blissfully happy. But when you voluntarily left the circuit of My love, My strength of love became ineffective, which meant that you became incapable of being active since it has always necessitated My strength of love. Inactivity is solidification, inactivity is immobility .... it is a state of death, of complete lifelessness .... You voluntarily entered this state through you past rebellion against Me and you will remain in this state until you voluntarily enter the circuit of My love again. All beings which had once fallen away from Me must go through this process: of arising from death to life. Thus, the fallen spirits, having hardened as a result of rejecting My strength of love, had become incapable of all activity and were dissolved by My will into countless minute particles, which were encapsulated by My strength of love and shaped into creations of the most varied kinds .... These, in turn, helped the spiritual substances to become active again, albeit quite minimally, according to My will .... Activity is life .... The dead substance gradually awakened to life and the degree of activity constantly increased through new formations of the bound spirits within these works of creation .... You humans are now occupying the final form in which the once fallen being shall attain the highest degree of activity and is able to do so if it uses its restored free will in the right way .... Your external form is also a work of creation by My love which is to bring the process to conclusion: to result in eternal life for you which you cannot lose anymore when you have accomplished your return to Me.

However, your life as a human being also includes the great danger that you will misuse your free will for a second time and thereby render the whole previous process of development completely worthless .... that you will descend into the abyss again, that you will reject My love once more and harden in your spiritual substance .... that you will fall prey to death again .... Your existence as a human being is an inconceivable grace, for everything that can lead you to final perfection is offered to you .... However, how you use this grace is determined by your free will, and this can only ever be stimulated or influenced but never be forced to aim into the right direction. Nevertheless, you humans should know how extraordinarily significant your life on earth is: consequently, the correlations will be explained to you time and again, the knowledge is conveyed to you either directly or through My messengers which intends to awaken your sense of responsibility. Time and again you are instructed through My Word, and you also hear the voice of conscience within yourselves. Even so, it is up to you as to what you make of this knowledge .... it is up to you as to whether you want to accept My direct revelations. Yet even My greater than great love cannot do anything more but to convey such revelations to you which inform you of the consequences of a correct way of life, of the reason and purpose of your life on earth and of My will, the fulfilment of which will truly guarantee you a life of blissful happiness .... But I cannot make you believe My revelations, for just as you once left Me voluntarily, just as you once voluntarily rejected My love, you must also return to Me voluntarily, you must voluntarily enter the circuit of My flow of love again .... you must want to be closely united with Me again and you will truly enter into eternal life, you will return to your Father again and be eternally happy ....

Amen

Jesus' battle as a 'human being' ....

B.D. 7872 from April 14th 1961, taken from Book No. 82

When I came into the world as a human being, the Deity in Me was tremendously active for I brought love with Me to earth, which permeated Me from the start and only applied to My eternal Father .... And thus extraordinary things happened at My birth which you present-day humans no longer want to believe but which provided the people around Me with the evidence that I was the announced Messiah. Thus I brought love along to Earth .... but I had to forfeit the light, for people would have been unable to endure its brilliance .... And so I had to start waging the battle with all immature spiritual substances which, by way of My body, harassed the soul, for I had to mature as a 'human being', since I wanted to show people the path towards spiritualisation, which can only be achieved by love. Consequently, I had to try to pacify everything of an immature nature pestering Me, through the love inherent in Me I had to try to influence it such that it would abandon its desire, that it would subordinate itself to the soul's desire and thus spiritualise and unite itself with the soul while I was still living on earth. This battle was truly not an easy one, for the human nature within Me had the same craving, the same longing for fulfilment as is the case with all people and despite My origin from above My nature was no different than that of you humans .... The world and its enticements attracted Me just as much as you, only My soul distanced itself from it because, due to its indwelling love, it recognised the dangers these worldly enticements offered and because I knew what mission I had to fulfil as 'Jesus, the human being'. Nevertheless, the body demanded its own and thus it was often an extremely difficult battle to comply with the soul's desire and to firmly resist all temptations. Yet the 'love' in Me gave Me strength, love drew Me irresistibly to the Father and the Father did not deny Himself to Me, He permeated Me progressively more and became active in Me, the 'human being Jesus' .... I realised the extent of adversity suffered by the human race which lacked love and therefore lacked the strength to resist the same temptations .... I knew why people were lacking love and that they were ruled by the one who is entirely devoid of love .... Hence I tried to motivate people into living in love .... I exemplified to them a life of love and constantly instructed them .... I gave them the commandments of love for God and one's neighbour .... I attempted to make them understand the consequences of a life of love and proved it to them on Myself .... I healed the sick and performed miracles, and I was able to do so because I allowed the strength of love to become active, for love is God, and thus God Himself worked through Me because He dwelled in Me as the 'Eternal Love' .... People lacked love when I descended to earth but I was permeated by it for I was faithfully and with love devoted to the Father, I had remained with Him when the host of originally created spirits deserted Him .... My love for Him was greater than great and I did not deprive Myself of it when I came down to earth ....

My whole way of life was a continuous activity of love .... so that the body soon subordinated itself to this love, that the soul embraced it and together with the body united itself with the Eternal Love in Me .... But it would be wrong to say that My earthly path had been less difficult as a result of My extraordinary abundance of love, because I was extremely strongly influenced by demons besieging Me, which clung to Me and tried to pull Me down .... and which I could not shake off because My 'love' in Me did not allow for it; instead, I had to pacify them and lovingly try to persuade them to let go of Me and also promised them My help to ascend from the abyss to higher spheres again. I did not want to chase these demons away by virtue of My inherent great power, consequently I suffered far more than you humans can understand, and only the immense strength of love enabled the accomplishment of My act of Salvation, otherwise I would have fallen prey to the demons Myself which, however, would never have been possible because love, the Father Himself, dwelled within Me .... You humans are supposed to follow Me, you should likewise start waging the battle against all unspiritual things in and around you .... However, you would be incapable of doing so of your own strength because you still lack love which increases your strength .... But now you can turn to Me with an appeal for an influx of strength and it will truly be given to you by grace of the act of Salvation which I acquired on your behalf through My death on the cross. Yet without Me you will not release yourselves from the opposing power, without Me your resolve is too weak and you lack strength .... I Myself waged a very hard battle against My adversary who wanted to prevent Me from accomplishing the act of Salvation but I won the battle though love and want to help you because you are too weak. For you live in an entirely unspiritual world, you live in the world of the fallen spirit and are held captive by its prince. But I have redeemed you from his power and thus you can achieve the same as I .... so that you will emerge victoriously from the battle against all worldly cravings, so that your body will spiritualise itself at the same time as the soul, so that they will unite themselves with the Father of eternity, because you no longer need to accomplish this act by yourselves, you need only come to Me in order to receive the strength to be able to take the path of return to the Father from Whom you once originated. And this influx of strength signifies that love will ignite in you and flare up into brightest radiance, that you bring everything of an unspiritual nature in you into order through love, that you can resist every temptation and that you thereby release yourselves from your opponent .... for then you will be on My side and I will truly liberate you from him ....

Amen

"Divine revelations" radiate light ....

B.D. 7873 from April 15th 1961, taken from Book No. 82

The gift of grace of being addressed by Me obliges the passing on of My word, for it is always given to all people who are willing to accept a gift from Me. Yet the person who receives My word must also be aware of the fact that it is up to him that he receives purest spiritual knowledge, for this requires the profound desire to only want to pass on 'truth'. And again he has to ask himself whether he makes himself available to Me so that I Myself can speak through him, because it is necessary that people hear Me Myself if they are to be impressed and change their way of life .... Hence he only has to feel like My mouthpiece, he must not let his own thoughts arise, he only has to be an instrument for Me which enables Me to speak Myself to people who want to listen to Me. Then My word can flow into the vessel in all purity, and now fellow human beings can draw and drink from the vessel and they will receive delicious spiritual knowledge, knowledge will be conveyed to them through the tool which can only be imparted to them by My spirit .... For what I give is delicious gift and therefore also to be recognized as emanation of Myself, because it gives you light and strength .... bright knowledge and a strong will to ascend and to reach your aim on earth which is set for you. And you humans will certainly also recognize My word as originating from Me if you seriously scrutinize it with the good will to stand in truth .... for My word contains wisdom within itself .... For light is wisdom .... Therefore, if I speak to you and want to give you light, then I must convey knowledge to you which reveals My wisdom .... I will certainly speak to you humans in an understandable way but nevertheless open up to you a deeper knowledge which you did not possess before .... For the spiritual knowledge I impart to you will always speak for itself, it will reflect My nature, it will radiate love, wisdom and power, you will receive information about My nature through My divine gift of grace .... Thus you yourselves will increase in knowledge, in light, in realization .... It will become light in you where before there was darkness .... in truth a light will be kindled within you. When the word Itself descends to earth .... i.e., when I Myself approach you and address you, then you can be assured that you will receive something delicious, that spiritual knowledge will be conveyed to you which cannot be brought to you from the human side .... which thus allows an insight into My kingdom, into My rule and activity and into My relationship with you .... In truth, a 'knowledge' is made accessible to you when you receive My direct revelations, and to pass this 'knowledge' on is your task which is connected with the reception. These revelations differ from speeches which can be experienced by every person who intimately unites with Me and desires to hear words of comfort and love from Me, whom I now also consider in the form of warnings and admonitions according to his nature and whom I also address through the heart .... But his task is different from the proclamation of My gospel, the passing on of the pure truth, the carrying of light into the darkness .... a mission which requires direct instruction and introduction into the truth from My side .... Every person has the duty to live a life of love and also to point out to his fellow human being that he can only become blissfully happy through love for Me and his neighbour. And I can also particularly encourage him to do so by only ever imparting words of love to him which he himself hears in his heart and also passes on to his fellow human beings. For only love results in spiritual progress, and love cannot be preached enough in the world .... And anyone who does such for Me, who encourages his fellow human beings to work with love, will truly be blessed by Me, he will be active on My behalf and also kindle a light where it is still dark .... Yet divine 'revelations' should not be devalued by also referring to human words as such, which are not to be addressed as 'revelations on My part' .... And you humans are easily inclined to value personal speeches as 'My word' and then allow yourselves to be impressed by those speeches. And then you can easily run the risk of no longer being able to distinguish whose spiritual knowledge you accept. And darkness can gather around you instead of becoming light in you. Believe that I reveal Myself to you in order to introduce you to the truth, in order to kindle the light of knowledge in you .... But seriously examine whether you can indeed discover the glow of a light or whether you are only illuminated by blinding lights which do not radiate any glow, which only feign a light for you .... But you humans need only desire 'light from Me' and then it will also shine in you .... you will increase in knowledge, the truth will be offered to you about things which cannot be fathomed by you in any other way than through the working of My spirit in the human being .... which increase your inner light and which therefore can only reach you as (through?) divine revelations through people into whom I can let My spirit flow so that they testify of Me ...._>Amen

How to follow Jesus ....

B.D. 7874 from April 16th 1961, taken from Book No. 82

He is My true follower who makes an effort to live on earth as I did, who stands firm in suffering, bears it with patience and perfects himself in love, for he will mature in his soul. I can only ever advise you to 'follow Jesus', for the man Jesus has taken this path on earth .... His life had truly been hard, yet He bore it humbly, He took up the battle against darkness, i.e., He tried to re-establish order and to enlighten people as to why they lived in spiritual darkness and what they should do to escape this darkness. He consciously walked the path of suffering and love .... And He shaped Himself such that I was able to take abode in Him .... And you should all walk this path and through love and sorrow try to shape yourselves such that I Myself, Who is the Eternal Love, can be present to you. You must follow Me, you must try to imitate the life I lived in the human being Jesus. And this first of all requires the will to unite yourselves with Me again .... Only love can accomplish this union, and suffering purifies your soul which still harbours many immature particles. It also spiritualises the body, so that it conforms to the desires of the spirit within you, so that it matures simultaneously with the soul and the union with Me can take place. This purification must come first, and for the sake of this purification you are living on earth .... And as soon as you take Me as an example your life on earth will not be in vain, it will take you to the goal: complete spiritualisation and unification with Me ....

A human being had to become an example to you or you would always have raised the objection that you cannot follow Me because it is beyond your ability, beyond your strength .... However, the path I walked on earth as a human being Myself was so arranged that every person would be able to follow Me. Nothing impossible is demanded of you, nothing is expected of you that a sinful person cannot accomplish, for I took all your weaknesses and faults into account, I identified Myself with every person's inclination and circumstances .... for whatever they may be . . . if you live a life of love then you also gather the strength which lets you accomplish even the most difficult task .... You will grow above yourselves, for you receive the strength from Me, just as I, thanks to the love within Myself, also had the strength at My disposal which enabled Me to be victorious in the battle against darkness, in the battle against all temptations by My adversary and against all cravings of the flesh .... Love is strength, and therefore I first had to preach love and live a life of love Myself in order to set you the right example of the way of life which leads you out of the abyss towards the pinnacle, that liberates you from the adversary .... For love is the only weapon to which he succumbs. You have to follow Me if you want to become free from his control .... And neither can suffering be avoided if your soul is to become bright and clear which, in its human incarnation, is still full of impurities because it is still in the domain of the one who changed his nature to the opposite, who thus can be called 'evil' in the true sense of the word and to whose nature you conformed when you deserted Me and followed him into the abyss of your own free will ....

Admittedly, due to their process through the creations the tiny particles of soul have become much purer when they united again as the soul of a human being, but many impurities will still have to be removed, which can only ever be accomplished by love and suffering .... The forgiveness of your guilt of sin will indeed be guaranteed as soon as you acknowledge Me in Jesus Christ and appeal for forgiveness of it .... And that means that on your departure from this world you will find the gate to the kingdom of light open to you .... But the intensity of light that will then shine upon you is very different .... And you will be extremely happy if your soul can be completely permeated, if the light is not obstructed by any impurities which still have to be dissolved .... And because you can already achieve on earth that your soul will be bright and translucent at the time of its passing away from earth you shall also humbly and patiently endure all suffering on earth .... you always ought to bear in mind that it is only beneficial for the maturity of your soul, you should not try to evade all affliction and always pray 'Father, Thy will be done ....' For I know why I let you walk the path of suffering and why I spoke the Words 'Follow Me ....' If you always try to imagine that I have walked the path before you, which has been so much harder and more sorrowful than yours, then for love of Me you should accept everything I send or allow to happen to you, for that is the light cross you have to bear in your earthly life, which only ever benefits your soul ....

Amen

Renewed banishment is the reason for the unusual revelations ....

B.D. 7875 from April 19th 1961, taken from Book No. 82

I Am revealing Myself in an unusual way before the end to you humans by conveying knowledge to you from which you should draw the consequences .... knowledge which so far had been withheld from you because it was of no significance for your salvation of soul, because you still had time to change your character and were also still able to achieve this in the beyond although under far more difficult conditions .... But it was still possible for you to be redeemed for as long the time you were granted for releasing yourselves from the form had not yet run out .... This time, however, is drawing to an end and that means either your return to Me or the renewed path through the creations of earth. But the knowledge about the latter has been withheld from you until now, for it would only have induced you to spend your earthly life under a certain amount of duress, which I, however, will not use for the sake of your perfection .... But now it concerns the human being's last free decision, it concerns the soul's salvation or its renewed banishment, because after the end of this earth higher development in the spiritual kingdom will become impossible for a long time to come, since the gates of this kingdom will remain closed until the new earth has again entered the state in which immature people will depart once more from this earth, in which case My merciful love will also want to help them attain maturity in the beyond again. Yet before this period of Salvation comes to an end I will still make use of all means in order to save you from the awful fate of a renewed banishment .... And therefore I inform you humans of the path you have already travelled before you reached your embodiment as a human being on earth. And My revelations are so unusual because most people are lacking this knowledge. But since the fate of a renewed banishment is only now becoming the imminent disaster .... since until now the opportunity still existed to mature in the kingdom of the beyond if it was neglected on earth, it was not necessary for people to know about the prior long process of development before .... although occasionally I was able to address people directly and so introduced them to this knowledge ....

However, now the time has come when people are in utmost danger but when it is still possible for them to avoid this danger if they have the serious will to endeavour towards a change .... And the knowledge about the process of development, of a repeated banishment in matter is intended to motivate them into this change of will .... This is why I reveal Myself in an unusual way, this is why I convey a knowledge to earth which can have tremendously beneficial results for people by just paying attention to it, by allowing My Words to take effect on them, think about them and then also live their life accordingly. But there are only a few who believe what is conveyed to them by extraordinary means .... And I cannot compel faith .... Therefore I cannot reveal Myself by any other means but through a human mouth either, for an enforced faith is worthless and will not result in the soul's progress. But the fact that I Myself reveal My plan of Salvation to you is a significant light which you humans are still being granted .... If you want to live in this light you will definitely take the right path .... For although I speak through a human mouth it is nevertheless the evidence of My love .... if I send My Word directly to earth, it is the evidence of My presence, in other words: you can call it an extraordinary gift of grace if you are taught about things which are inaccessible to a person's intellectual knowledge .... which therefore cannot be explained to you by other people if I Myself do not work extraordinarily in this person too .... Therefore pay attention to My unusual revelations, don't discard them as human work but believe that it is only My love which wants to reveal Itself to you because I would like to save you before the end, because I want to spare you the fate of a renewed banishment which, however, is inevitable, if you do not believe ....

Amen

God's revelations give light ....

B.D. 7876 from April 21st 1961, taken from Book No. 82

Again and again I emphasize that My spirit works in every person who fulfils the conditions I have attached to such activity. For I Myself have promised you My spirit that it will remain with you until the end of the world, for although I no longer physically lived amongst people I was nevertheless with My disciples in spirit and filled them with light and strength so that they could testify of Me according to My will. And thus I also repeatedly choose disciples for Myself upon whom I can pour out My spirit so that they, too, will repeatedly proclaim about Me .... Yet many are called but only a few are chosen. It is possible for you humans to awaken the spirit in you to life, so that I Myself can now thus express Myself through the spirit .... Yet only a few prepare themselves to serve as a vessel for My flow of spirit, to make themselves suitable as an instrument through which I can now express Myself, as I have promised. And therefore only a few are chosen to enter My service as proclaimers of the message of salvation, to teach fellow human beings truthfully and thus to preach the gospel of love to them again, to convey 'My word' to them, which I now convey to earth as the 'working of My spirit'. Only a few are enabled to receive My word in all purity and to spread it in the same way .... Yet these few now also receive an unusual amount of knowledge which also makes their mission recognizable .... knowledge which also reveals its origin, knowledge which only I Myself can impart to people because it testifies to Me Myself, to My nature, My working and My wisdom .... This knowledge therefore proves Me Myself as the originator, and it can also never be refuted by people .... unless they are still in open opposition to Me, that they are completely incapable of passing judgment because they are still being worked on by My adversary who will always fight against the pure truth .... Hence, if I can convey such unusual knowledge to a person then it is also possible to speak of an obvious 'working of My spirit', and people can unhesitatingly believe if this knowledge is conveyed to them through My messengers. For they only ever need to apply the standard as to whether the knowledge provides information about My nature, which is love, wisdom and power.... for My revelations only ever intend that you humans gain a correct image of your God and creator, of your father of eternity, because I am courting your love, which you will only give to Me if you truly know Me and My nature, if you don't form a distorted image of Me, but which arises and has arisen through error of every kind .... You shall experience the pure truth, and therefore I address you .... And I, in turn, can only address you through the spirit .... And this process requires the fulfilment of conditions: preconditions must be in place which establish a close bond from the spiritual spark in the human being with the father-spirit of eternity and thus also guarantee a direct supply of My word, which contains supreme wisdom within itself and can therefore be recognized as being of 'divine' origin. This shall be told to you again and again that I certainly reveal Myself to all people through the voice of the heart, that everyone may feel addressed by Me, that I place into everyone's heart what he should or should not do .... and that I order his thinking, that I enlighten him and thus he can always walk on the right path because he is guided and cared for by Me, as well as he devotes himself to Me intimately, as soon as he consciously requests My guidance .... But you should also know that I unmistakably reveal Myself in the word .... that I convey My word to earth which is intended to enlighten you humans, which gives you truthful knowledge so that you will come to know and love Me. Thus My word will enlighten you about My nature, My word will reveal My eternal plan of salvation to you, My word will make the meaning and purpose of your existence understandable to you .... My word will bring you light .... And this, then, is "My spirit" who introduces you to all truth .... You had lost the light through your apostasy from Me, you gave away your knowledge, your knowledge of everything .... I want to give it to you again if you are willing to accept it .... I want it to become light in you again, and therefore I address you humans through My word which is conveyed to you from above as the 'working of My spirit' .... and which you will always recognize as originating from Me by the immense abundance of divine wisdom and love which radiates towards you and which also proves to you a powerful God and creator. This is the yardstick to determine whether you receive divine revelations which inform you about My nature .... that they provide you with knowledge which cannot be conveyed to you in any other way than through the spirit. And then you will also be able to judge correctly when inferior gifts are offered to you which did not originate from Me .... For bright light must shine when I Myself kindle a light in you, and this light will have a luminosity which penetrates all darkness ...._>Amen

God's grace and mercy ....

B.D. 7877 from April 23rd 1961, taken from Book No. 82

Trust in My grace and mercy and carry your burden of sin under My cross .... I have assured you of My forgiveness, no matter how much you have sinned .... I will not cast you out, for My love is so great that I Myself redeemed every debt for you because I do not want to lose you .... But you must recognize and confess your sins, you must feel guilty yourselves and strive to become free of them. Then My love can take hold of you and shine upon you again, because then your resistance, which you have offered Me for eternities and which has cancelled every effect of love, will also be broken. And only when you feel small and sinful do you humbly come to Me and ask Me to accept you again. Then you will voluntarily return to Me, you will have reached your aim for the purpose of which you stay on earth. Thus it is My grace and mercy which brings you back again .... (23.4.1961), for My infinite love cannot and will not let go of you because you are living creations of My love. And My love has given you utmost freedom because love does not tolerate coercion. The fact that you abused your freedom did not diminish My love. But since you rejected love and it could no longer become effective, My grace and mercy took its place. Mercy did not let you fall into endlessness and grace helped you .... i.e., I used means which helped you to ascend again as long as you were unable to undertake an ascent to Me of your own accord .... In your will to defend yourselves you did not deserve help, consequently they were graces which I bestowed upon you against your will because I took pity on your fate .... And you will be dependent on these graces until you have found your way back to Me of your own free will, where My love can shine upon you again and you will feel bliss again as you once did. Your wretchedness in the state of far distance from Me is self-inflicted, and it cannot be changed against your will .... But the fact that this will changes can be brought about by the supply of grace. And the fact that I bestow an abundance of grace upon you is caused by My profound mercy for the fallen being which has placed itself in a position where it has lost its spiritual bliss, where it is bound in lightlessness and weakness by My adversary but to whom it had handed itself over. For since My love for you has not diminished I cannot turn away from you indifferently and leave you to the adversary .... but My aim is to place you into the state of bliss again, and I therefore grant you constant help .... My love becomes active elsewhere because you rejected it .... For it does not give up on you, and thus I also truly know how it achieves its aim .... And again and again it will point you to Jesus Christ, in Whom I Myself accomplished the act of salvation for you .... again and again the divine work of mercy will be presented to you, which will grant you abundant grace if only you are willing to accept it ...., for I will not let you go, even if you remain in defiance of Me for eternities .... My grace and mercy follows you, and My love courts you until it has won you over completely ...._>Amen

The grace of receiving the Word is a commitment ....

B.D. 7878 from April 25th 1961, taken from Book No. 82

The grace of receiving the Word is a commitment .... on the one hand to distribute what comes to you from above, and on the other hand to endorse that which you recognise as truth towards your fellow human beings. It is futile if you, who receive the Word from Me, are satisfied with the information which is sent to you .... you should, with full conviction, pass this knowledge on to your fellow human beings who are in need of it. And you should not let yourselves be deceived by objections, for people will always do so, despite the fact that I Myself impart the pure truth to you which will always stand up to such objections. For this reason I need strong-willed servants who will stand up for what they receive .... And they will also always be able to clearly judge where error exists and therefore counteract it, because they are in My service and as My faithful servants in My vineyard are duty bound to do so. I convey the truth to earth because you humans are in need of light, you live in darkness because many fallacies were and are still offered to you .... Only truth leads to beatitude .... erroneous belief prolongs the path to the goal, for time and again it will obscure this path so that you humans will stray from the straight and narrow and require a long time until you get back on the right path towards ascent, on the path of truth, where the light is shining which I radiate down to earth for the sake of your benefit. Be glad that you may receive bright light and make use of this illumination .... Take the path that is shown to you, abide by My Word which sounds from above, which My servants convey to you on My instructions and which they can also justifiably endorse as pure truth because they have received it from Me .... And where you humans can recognise an obvious working of the spirit, that is where the pure truth from Me exists. And this is what you should adopt, but don't mix it with spiritual knowledge whose origin is doubtful to you .... And because it is My will that the truth from Me shall remain pure I also expect those who receive it from Me to firmly endorse that which originated from Me, for they know that they are thereby of service to Me, because they recognise the extreme value of the information they receive through My spirit ....

Consequently, if the pure truth is in danger of becoming distorted it should be heedfully guarded, for My adversary avails himself of every opportunity which presents itself in order to render the truth from Me ineffective. And he succeeds in doing so as soon as different spiritual knowledge is added to it .... which was conceived by human intellect and which cannot be spoken of as the working of the spirit .... My Word should certainly be spread, but it shall be offered to people in all purity, just as it came forth from Me Myself .... And it is My servants' task to ensure that this Word will remain pure, as far as it is within their power. For the seed shall not become contaminated because it is intended to bear good fruit. However, anyone whom I appoint to an office will also receive the strength from Me to administer it .... Hence, I will also guide you such that your attention will be drawn to where your work is needed, where you shall carry out your mission, and I will always guide your thoughts correctly so that you will work according to My will .... For receiving My Word is a grace of utmost significance, and anyone who wants to serve Me will therefore always have My support and at all times take the path which corresponds to My will .... I Myself will guide him, I Myself will turn his thoughts in the right direction, and I Myself will give him the strength to work in accordance with My will ....Amen

Implementation of the plan of salvation ....

B.D. 7879 from April 26th 1961, taken from Book No. 82

And anyone who offers himself to Me for service will also be accepted by Me, because I still need many servants in My vineyard, for the time is coming to an end and much work still has to be done. But what does the work consist of which you should do for Me? .... And why do I keep urgently recruiting labourers who are willing to serve Me faithfully?... It is the time of the end which you can no longer stop, for I carry out My plan of salvation as it has been planned since eternity .... And I truly know when a period of salvation has to come to an end, when it will no longer be successful. I also know about the fate of the spiritual substances which are still bound in form and which have to experience a change as soon as the time has come. And even if it may seem incredible to you humans, you should nevertheless reckon with a quick end and prepare yourselves for it. You, who are of good will, should be prepared to do vineyard work, that is, to point out to your fellow human beings that the end will come soon and proclaim My word to them, the gospel of love, the living out of which will yield ripe human fruit which can be harvested at the end of days .... And I will truly bless everyone who serves Me in such a way that he proclaims Me Myself to those who do not believe in Me, for there is great need .... because people do not believe in an end and because they therefore go through life irresponsibly .... But the end comes irrevocably .... And you humans will no longer stop it because the time is fulfilled .... But how do you want to be active as My servants in the vineyard if you don't believe the words of your father of the house, if you don't take His instructions seriously and act according to your own discretion? And you do this when you teach your fellow human beings differently than this is My will .... you do this when you give them hope for a long life when they only have little time left to mature as good fruit before the end. I truly don't want to condemn you because of your faith in My love, yet bear in mind that precisely because of My infinite love I have to put an end to this earth with all its creations, because I truly also recognize in My wisdom what serves everything created by Me so that it will one day become blissfully happy .... But humanity is drifting towards the abyss and I want to stop this fall into the deepest depth .... And what would people have gained at the end of their life, even if the earth remained as you wish, you who don't know My plan of salvation from eternity? Death is certain for every human being, no-one can avert it from himself, yet only he need not fear it who has found Me.... And if you, as My servants in My vineyard, thus help your fellow human being to find Me, it is completely irrelevant when this person will depart from earth, for he will enter into eternal life .... Only you should not forget that there is not much time left .... you should believe this and work all the more diligently .... therefore you should proclaim the gospel of love wherever an opportunity presents itself to you, and you should never awaken the hope in your fellow human beings that they still have a long time, you should never consider a 'near end' questionable, for this end is imminent, it will take you by surprise even though it has been announced to you again and again. If you want to be true servants to Me, then believe what I say to you through the spirit .... Do not doubt it, for I alone can give you information about what will happen and why it has to happen .... And My plan of salvation has been determined from eternity which will also certainly be carried out because My love, wisdom and might are decisive and because only your eternal bliss shall be achieved through this plan of salvation ...._>Amen

Thought waves from beings of light .... Spirit-guides ....

B.D. 7880 from April 27th 1961, taken from Book No. 82

I would like all of you to gain eternal life, so that you will be free from every physical form and can pass into the spiritual kingdom in light and strength and freedom. For My only goal is your eternal beatitude. And I will truly not rest in pursuing you and your love because only love will let you reach the final goal. Yet I will always allow you free will, and this is still refused Me because you lack love; for I Myself Am Love and if love is not within you I, Who would like to provide you with an abundance of bliss, cannot be present in you either. And as long as I Am still far away from you darkness will still be within you, for I Am also the Light of eternity Which has to shine brightly in you if you joyfully want to recognise yourselves and your origin. But as long as it is still dark in you, you are still being held captive by the lord of darkness who wants to prevent you from realising and striving towards the light .... Thus you are still under the control of My adversary from whom I, however, would like to release you yet will only be able to do so if you have the will to escape from him. Consequently, your will determines your fate, for your will has to decide for itself which lord it acknowledges; thus you have to make this decision yourselves as long as you live as a human being on this earth. But until then you are surrounded by shadowy beings which compete for your will and influence you in every way yet without being able to force you. However, you have a great gift of grace: you are able to think, and you need only to use this gift of grace correctly and for once try to ascertain the purpose and meaning of your earthly life .... In that case beings of light will certainly inspire right thoughts in you, since a desire for understanding will be judged as a desire for Me, Who is the Light and the Truth of eternity .... You are all capable of thinking but you rarely use this gift of grace in order to receive clarification about spiritual questions, which can only be given to you by beings of light who work on My instruction when you ask yourselves such questions ....

The spiritual beings will affect you such that thought waves will flow to you concerning questions of that nature .... If you reject them then illumination cannot be given to you; if you accept and contemplate them then you will also mentally receive the answer from these beings of light, and you will subsequently be able to make your own free decisions .... Therefore you can look for light and will find it .... but you can also shy away from light and remain in darkness .... But time and again light will be brought to you, time and again My love will pursue you and help you become aware of yourselves and then also find the path to Me .... But adverse forces influence you in the same way by encircling you with thought currents of an earthly nature, which the human being prefers to accept and ponder about .... for he is totally at liberty to accept or reject what mentally impinges upon him. The infinite patience of the beings of light, their great love for those who are unredeemed, will not cease, and time and again they will try to influence their protégés into listening to them, for they work on My instructions. The work they carry out in the spiritual kingdom is their redemption work, they are only the executors of My will albeit they are extraordinarily happy by being allowed to work for Me because they gladly subordinated themselves to My will, because in their state of maturity they have no other will but Mine, since they are permeated by My love and therefore their love also applies to the unredeemed .... to people who have been entrusted to their guidance and protection. For all of you have spiritual guides who accompany you from the time of your birth until your death and who fight for your souls against the enemy .... Yet your will alone is decisive which, however, will one day submit itself to Me with certainty, because it cannot resist the strength of My love forever ....

Amen

Taking notice of God's plan of Salvation ....

B.D. 7881 from April 28th 1961, taken from Book No. 82

The fact that I reveal My plan of Salvation to you should make you realise the significance of the time you live in. The knowledge I convey to you in all clarity is intended to give you an insight into My reign and activity, it explains to you the purpose of your earthly life, the meaning and purpose of creation .... this knowledge is so momentous and extensive that it could not humanly be offered to you .... such knowledge can only be imparted to you through the working of My spirit. The light I transmit to earth can shine exceedingly brightly and dispel the darkness if you humans are receptive to it, if you allow yourselves to be impressed by it as soon as I address you .... And the reason why I transmit this extraordinary knowledge is because you are approaching the end .... If you have been informed of My plan of Salvation you will also understand that one period of Salvation comes and must come to an end, for then you will only look at everything from the point of view that the fallen spirits must be given every opportunity to start the path of return to Me .... be it the human being or the spiritual substances which are still bound in the creations which, in their fundamental substance, emerged from Me as a being and shall also return to the Father's house as a being again ....

Since you know My eternal plan of Salvation you will also know about the infinitely long process of development which the fallen spirits have to travel in order to ascend again .... In that case you will also mercifully consider those who have not yet reached the stage of a human being and which suffer in their constraints because they originally came forth from Me as a free spirit .... And you will also know that it is due to the human being's free will if he fails during his earthly life, and that this free will therefore creates his own fate .... that his life on earth is unwarranted if he makes no use of his embodiment as a human being .... Hence you can understand that this spiritual being forfeits its own earthly life and that the termination of one period of Salvation is merely an act of love on My part, Who also wants to help the advancement of those spirituals substances who long for their final form so as to be able to release themselves for good by taking the final path across earth as a human being .... And I inform you humans of My plan of Salvation in the last days as a special grace because it will make it easier for you to believe in an end once you have correctly recognised the correlations .... For even if a thousand years are like a day before Me .... the last day which has been determined for eternity will nevertheless arrive sooner or later .... And then I will separate the sheep from the goats .... and those who are and remain faithful to Me will be saved, none of those need be afraid when the earth begins to tremble, for their life will be guaranteed for all eternity ....

Therefore, understand My Words correctly and don't doubt Me and My Word, which comes to you from above announcing a near end to you and which will fulfil itself because it is the truth .... Those who take notice of My revelations should really find it easy to believe since you are aware of all the correlations .... For I have revealed My 'plan of Salvation' to you, you have received extraordinary knowledge to enlighten you, so that you will be able to believe .... You cannot persuade Me not to carry out My plan of Salvation, you cannot delay the day of the end because it has been predetermined for eternity .... But every one of you can belong to those to whom I have promised My protection if they remain faithful to Me .... you can belong to the few righteous people whom My arm will protect, whom I will lift away from earth when the hour has come which signifies the end for all creations on, in and above the earth .... For My might is great, My love is infinite and applies to all as yet unredeemed spiritual beings, and My wisdom truly knows when the time is right for a necessary change if the higher development is to continue in accordance with My eternal order .... And My love, wisdom and might will constantly be at work when it concerns the return of all fallen spirits who shall come home into My Fatherly house ....

Amen

A "teacher" must be filled with the spirit ....

B.D. 7882 from April 30th 1961, taken from Book No. 82

No further explanation is required for the transmission of My word from above other than that I Myself want to bestow the truth upon you because you walk in error, because you have perverted many doctrines of faith and because in the course of time the gospel I taught on earth has been contaminated in such a way that your spirit has become darkened instead of enlightened. You have made assertions which completely deviate from the truth and it is no longer possible for you to recognize Me and My nature correctly .... You interpret the written word, the scriptures, in a wrong way, you go by the letters and don't know the spiritual meaning of the words which I have put into them .... You are no longer able to distinguish 'God's word' from additional human work .... You argue with each other because everyone represents different doctrines, and you are far away from the pure truth .... And I want to give it to you again and therefore convey My word to earth, I bring you a light in whose glow you can recognize error if you yourselves desire the pure truth .... again and again the human being's intellect has intervened and suppressed the truth, because the intellect can be influenced by My adversary who fights against the truth because he wants to prevent you from recognizing Me correctly and then also striving towards Me .... Yet if you want to live in the light of truth you must also do your part: You must live in love and desire the truth .... Then it will also be your share. Yet without love you will not grasp the truth either, and you will distort its meaning again and continue to remain in error. The fact that I therefore manifestly appear by giving you evidence of My presence when I address you should not seem strange to you, for I am the eternal truth and will again and again seek access to you because I want to grant you eternal life which, however, can only be found through truth. But only the person who possesses the truth himself will be able to approach his fellow human beings as a teacher, and this person must have received it from Me himself .... But many people 'teach' who do not yet know the truth themselves, and error is spread instead of proclaiming the truth. The teacher must be so intimately united with Me that he receives the truth directly from Me when he teaches his fellow human beings .... Thus a 'teacher' must be filled by My spirit, then he will only represent the pure truth, because then he will be a true labourer for Me in My vineyard who scatters good seed in people's hearts which shall sprout and bear fruit. Therefore, everyone should first shape himself such that I Myself can speak through him if he wants to instruct his fellow human beings as a preacher, if he wants to bring them the gospel which guarantees pure truth .... which I Myself taught when I lived on earth. If My spirit cannot work in a 'teacher' then someone else will speak from him, for then it will not be his heart which impels him to proclaim the gospel but only his intellect, which My adversary can then also use by trying to obscure the light which, however, the pure truth signifies for the human being. You, who proclaim My gospel, you should be serious about shaping yourselves so that I can pour out My spirit upon you .... You shall not speak out of your intellect, but you shall let Me Myself speak through the heart .... And truly, you will distance yourselves from teachings which are untrue, you will inwardly resist advocating something which does not correspond to the truth, for My spirit will then warn you against it .... And you should check how far your thinking is in accordance with My word, which I Myself convey to you from above .... For I am the eternal truth, and what is from Me must be truth .... And you will also recognize the origin of it at any time if you yourselves are serious about standing in the pure truth .... Only I Myself can convey it to you, and I am truly always willing to shine a light into the darkness on earth, for only in the light will you find the right path, only through the light of truth will you attain eternal life ...._>Amen

The near end is certain ....

B.D. 7883 from May 2nd 1961, taken from Book No. 82

And whether an end may seem incredible to you .... it is imminent for you .... To give you an exact time would not be helpful for your soul's salvation, but you should be content if I indicate to you that it is imminent, and you should live and work on yourselves as if the last day had already come tomorrow. For in view of the length of a redemption period which is now coming to an end, only a very short time can still be spoken of which remains for your redemption, for only a few phases will pass until the end which are necessary for the separation of spirits .... And as it has been predetermined since eternity, everything will also come to pass, because it is not an arbitrary process when this earth is reshaped but everything has its spiritual reason and thus everything also takes effect as a result of people's failure on this earth in their last test of will. However, you humans can all feel safe in My protection if you believe in Me and are willing to enter into My will .... you can expect all events with inner equanimity, always trusting that I will protect My own .... provided you want to belong to My own .... But you should believe in an end and take the transformation of your nature into love seriously. If you lack this faith you will be lukewarm, then you will not be aware of the seriousness of the time which, however, is recognizable as the last time because I have often mentioned the signs by which you can recognize the approach of the end .... And therefore you should only be attentive and look around you with open eyes .... You should also try to associate My obvious gift of grace with the fact that unusual things are about to happen to you, which is why I also try to have an unusual effect on all people in order to shake them up, so that they become awake and realize the time in which they live. And they should not carelessly give in to the hope that I will be pass off with the end .... For I know when this transformation of earth has to take place, I know when people's low level has reached such a point that a change has to be created, that a turning point has to occur which, however, will not only take place spiritually but also earthly. For on this earth humanity never changes so that it strives for a higher spiritual level .... On this earth only a decline can be expected, for more and more people fall away from faith, more and more people deny Jesus Christ and His act of salvation .... more and more people fall into matter and strive back again towards the state they had long since overcome. And everyone is responsible for himself, for his will and actions; everyone has to accomplish the transformation of his being on himself .... because every human being is a once fallen original being which has to prove its will to finally return to Me .... And therefore don't give yourselves over to false hopes .... The end is irrevocably coming and you will no longer be able to stop it. But every individual can avert the fate of a new banishment for himself if only he surrenders himself to Me and then has also provided the proof of having passed the test of will .... then he may stay wherever he likes .... he will be saved from the end, for I know the state of every soul and its will, I also know that and how he can be saved, for My arm reaches far and will surely take hold of My own in order to fetch them to Himself when the adversity will be so great that only I Myself will be able to remedy it .... Believe in Me alive and you will also be able to believe in the end which will come according to the plan of salvation from eternity .... which will take you by surprise because the day I have determined for it will be observed and because the time is fulfilled ...._>Amen

The letter kills .... Lifeless proclaimers of the Word ....

B.D. 7884 from May 3rd 1961, taken from Book No. 82

It is the spirit which gives life .... and every letter read with an unawakened spirit kills; it will remain incomprehensible to the human being regardless of how much effort he intellectually exerts in order to fathom its meaning .... And this has led to many errors, insofar as that My Word was translated or preached to fellow human beings by people who were spiritually unawakened themselves and who let their intellect dictate where the heart alone should have been able to judge or clarify matters had My spirit been allowed to express itself through it. I Myself was no longer able to speak to people through a preacher; instead he provided them with his own teachings and explanations which no longer corresponded to the truth. And thus the meaning of the Gospel, which I Myself taught on earth, became increasingly more distorted in due course, and only a few read 'My Word' with an awakened spirit and derive the right benefit from it for their souls. For all others, however, the strength of My Word remains ineffective, they listen to it, but because they don't understand it correctly they don't live accordingly and therefore cannot attain spiritual awakening either .... For rarely will preachers mention the 'working of the spirit in the human being' because they don't understand it themselves .... because they don't know that it is the direct result of a life of love and that they would be able to convince themselves that they become brightly illuminated if they lived a life of love themselves .... They read the sentence: The letter kills, but the spirit gives life .... and don't know what it means .... for they are still spiritually unawakened themselves. And this is why one can almost speak of a dead Christendom, this is why My Word, which is contained in the Book of Books, does not do a lot for people anymore, this is why the faith has become faint and weak, it lacks the strength of life, for it can only come alive through love, and love awakens the spirit ....

And if only a tender seedling grows from the warmth of love, then it will soon become strong and vigorous .... A living faith will develop and everything will awaken to life which so far had lain dormant in the person .... The soul will arise and allow itself to be influenced by the spark of spirit, it will come alive and never ever lose this life again. But then the person will also understand every Word which originated from Me .... he will be able to distinguish error from truth and by no means fall prey to error, for then he will be instructed by the spirit and empty letters will mean nothing to him, he will know the spiritual meaning of the Word .... And every Word that once came forth from Me and reaches his ears and heart will grant him life. Then he will truly no longer be a dead Christian and also be able to vividly testify to Me, he will not just use the Words of the Scriptures but also be capable of clarifying their spiritual meaning .... he will in truth be a teacher of his fellow human beings in accordance with My will, for he then will let Me Myself be in him so that I can express Myself through the spirit when he instructs his fellow human beings .... And only those who work on My instructions are My true servants .... For I do not call a proclaimer of My Word who only knows the letters without understanding their spiritual meaning My servant .... because he has appointed himself and not made himself worthy of My calling first, which requires that a person wanting to work for Me is spiritually awake. Yet as soon as he not only teaches love, which is the epitome of My Gospel .... as soon as he also lives a life of love, he will also awaken the spirit in him to life, and then he will be a welcome servant for Me through whom I will be able to work, through whom I will be able to address people Myself who then can also perceptibly feel the strength of My Word .... And those who allow themselves to be awakened will come to life again, who look for Me with a sincere will and appeal to Me for the strength of My spirit .... For they will make an effort to live My Word .... by living a life of love they will awaken the spirit within them, they will no longer be lifeless proclaimers of My Word but full of life and bearing witness to Me ....

Amen

The work of redemption through Jesus Christ ....

B.D. 7885 from May 4th 1961, taken from Book No. 82

You cannot occupy your thoughts often enough with Jesus Christ's act of salvation, for it was the most powerful thing that has ever happened and will ever happen on earth .... I Myself, your God and creator, your father from eternity, embodied Myself in this human being Jesus and walked the path across earth as a human being .... You will not be able to grasp this until you stand in the highest abundance of light; yet as a human being it shall be held up to you again and again that this great event took place because of you .... And you truly cannot think often enough about the infinite love which prompted Me to put on flesh in order to be able to come close to you, who otherwise would have passed away in view of My light if I had not veiled Myself to you in order to be able to dwell with you .... I Myself .... the greatest spirit of infinity .... entered this earth and took on the form of a human being because it was necessary to accomplish a work of atonement for you and your immense guilt of sin in order to pave the way for you humans back to Me again, from Whom you had once voluntarily distanced yourselves. And this work of atonement was truly unique, for the most bitter suffering and pain ever endured by a human being, Who was pure and sinless and full of love, was inflicted on him .... He was tormented physically and mentally and patiently took all these torments upon Himself in order to atone for the great guilt of sin of His fallen brothers .... And in this man was I Myself .... I could not suffer as a spirit, therefore I took on the shell of a human being in order to take upon Myself the suffering which meant the redemption of the guilt of sin and which could not be avoided for the sake of justice, which demands atonement for every offence against My love .... This is why your God and creator, your father of eternity, embodied Himself in this human being Jesus, this is why I Myself lived on this earth as a human being, because I wanted to bring salvation to you, who otherwise would have remained eternally separated from Me due to your guilt of sin and would never have been able to take the path back to the father, because the path to the kingdom of light was closed to you as long as your guilt had not been redeemed .... Yet as long as you humans stay on earth you cannot grasp the full depth of this great work of mercy .... because your thinking is limited and you are still in darkness, i.e. in a state without knowledge .... until you yourselves have found forgiveness through Jesus Christ, until you yourselves have been redeemed by Him through His blood which He shed on the cross for humanity's guilt of sin .... only then will it become bright in you, and only then will you be able to muster understanding for the great work of love of your God and creator of eternity .... only then will you also be able to understand Who walked the earth in the man Jesus, Who redeemed you from sin and death .... And ever brighter light will shine in you the further you progress in your maturity of soul .... if you live in love as the man Jesus exemplified to you .... Then you will also often dwell with Him in your thoughts, you will recognize Me Myself in Him, you will sing praise and thanks to Me in your heart that I Myself descended to earth in order to bring you salvation, which only I Myself could bring to you by sacrificing Myself in Jesus for you and your sins. My death on the cross was a unique act of love which was accomplished for all times, for the past, the present and the future .... And it will never be repeated .... But in the spiritual kingdom it can be experienced at any time by the world of light, by all beings who have entered the kingdom of light and who can also measure the immense love and grace of their father, who caused that great act of love .... And they will praise and glorify Me and My name, for in their abundance of light they recognize the significance of the work of salvation, and full of love and gratitude they participate in it by seeking to lead the unredeemed spiritual beings to Jesus Christ and thus to Me Myself, Who was and remained in Him in order to be and remain a visible God to all created beings for all eternity ...._>Amen

Space exploration is not God's will ....

B.D. 7886 from May 6th 1961, taken from Book No. 82

The strength which emanates from Me and My Word will touch your soul and you will find peace in Me .... When you are ready to serve Me then the strength to accomplish My will, which I place into your heart Myself, will also flow to you. And you will think, want and act in accordance with My will .... And thus you can always safely proceed on your way, My blessing will always accompany you, I will take you by your hand and guide you such as it is right for you and your fellow human beings' salvation of soul. Just put your trust in Me and truly, I will never allow your confidence in me to falter .... For although your body does not feel the evidence of this strength but your soul receives it in abundance instead and is grateful for all support, the soul matures and unites itself with its spirit, and this strives towards the Father-Spirit, and the unity with Me will become ever closer. And if I Am then able to speak to My child My presence will be confirmed too and peace has to enter its heart, every worry has to vanish and the child only has to listen to what his Father has to say to him:

And I still want to reveal much more to you, for the end is swiftly approaching .... You will still experience things which will make you doubt Me and My Word .... You will ask yourselves why I do not intervene with My might when humanity arrogantly dares to penetrate the universe .... But a limit has been imposed on their projects, they will not be able to implement their experiments for long, for even these actions merely hasten the end, the forthcoming Judgment. I will let them have their way, so that time and again they will have to realise that their capability will never suffice in order to complete their projects. They have handed themselves over to My adversary who will constantly influence their mind and also give them a certain amount of strength which, however, will always have disastrous effects on people as well as the works of creation My adversary wants to destroy. It is the time of the end, which is merely emphasised by such actions, for people's spiritual state itself will give rise to the end. My adversary wants to destroy the belief in My existence and My might, and such people are already subject to him due to the fact that they have lost all faith, deem themselves masters of creation and try to prove it. Yet they will not have much time left for that, because they hasten the end themselves since they revoke the laws of nature themselves and thereby pave the way for a work of destruction which will encompass the whole world and every living creation in, on and above the earth ....

People's actions oppose God and that will also result in appropriate consequences .... But I allow My adversary's rage, yet people themselves could resist it and would then not become subject to his rule .... Time and again people are reminded of Me and My might and could quite easily take the path to Me .... Their will, however, is free and thus I do not prevent their actions, but My might and My will shall also reveal itself to those responsible for the anti-God activity that can be witnessed by all people .... They, too, will repeatedly be shown that a divine Power keeps expressing Itself Which proves their wrong thinking, for until the body dies I invite every soul to return to Me .... but I will not force it. And since My adversary cannot force it either, he influences all bad characteristics in a person even more and gains the soul for his disgraceful plan, since the craving for power and recognition is particularly strongly developed in people who do not believe in Me. For these are My adversary's characteristics .... It is his nature, which he passes on to them. But his time will soon be over, and My might, too, will soon visibly express itself .... Yet I will never give you such obvious proof of Myself that you have to believe in Me .... Time and again you have to bear in mind that I expect your voluntary faith which you should awaken through love .... And then you will also recognise the signs of the time; you will understand that you live in the last days when My adversary works in unusual ways, until the hour comes when he and his followers will be constrained, as it is has been proclaimed in Word and Scripture ....

Amen

Right to use the life force .... eternal life ....

B.D. 7887 from May 7th 1961, taken from Book No. 82

My love sustains everything and My love fulfils everything, for it is the strength which constantly flows through all My creations, without which no work of creation could exist. And therefore the human being also constantly receives My strength of love, it secures his life, i.e., all strength of life flows to him from Me, which he indeed takes for granted but which enables the human being to acquire spiritual strength which then secures him eternal life, even though he has to surrender his life, thus seemingly loses the strength of life. But true life only begins in the spiritual kingdom .... If therefore My strength of love flows through everything it follows that nothing negative can touch My creation from My side and that thus every work of creation must promote progressive development .... that it therefore fulfils a purpose which My love and wisdom has assigned to it .... For divine strength of love must always result in positive success .... But excluded from this rule is the human being in whose will it lies to use the life force positively or negatively, which fills him as long as he walks the earth. For it is up to his will how he evaluates his life force. His task is to acquire spiritual strength, which he does when he carries out works of love, when he only ever uses his vitality in order to serve out of inner drive .... out of love .... Then he opens himself to the spiritual radiation of love which he had once rejected .... And then My flow of love-power can flow through him and his life in eternity is assured .... But he can also completely fail as a human being if he only uses his vitality negatively, i.e. if he only strives for earthly things which are transient, if he does not recognize his actual task, if he therefore does not strive for an increase of spiritual strength and leaves his ego, which also remains after the death of the body, in a completely dead state, which is now incapable of any activity because it no longer possesses bodily vitality and had not acquired spiritual strength on earth .... Nevertheless, it remains in existence because nothing can pass away which has emerged from Me and My love .... And because My love gives up nothing it will also constantly endeavour to give life to the dead. But this process takes an infinitely long time again until it has to acquire 'life' for itself again of its own free will .... Nothing can pass away that I once created, but a state always comes for everything created where it creates life or death for itself .... For life, which lasts forever, is a state of perfection which the being in a state of free will must always attain if it wants to live for eternity and no longer lose this life. But since everything emerged from My love and My love never ceases, I will not rest until I can radiate My love through all created beings again and thus make them happy, for there is nothing insurmountable for love, there are no limits for love, it will work eternally and not reject anything from itself .... But it does not impose itself, it wants to find reciprocation, and this process has to take place in free will when the being walks across earth as a human being .... Then it must open itself of its own accord to My illumination of love, and then it will have eternally overcome death, then it will have awakened to spiritual life, and then I will have achieved My aim, which I set for Myself when the act of creation of the spiritual beings took place .... My love will always and forever be effective, it will always and forever bestow happiness, and you will never need to do without My love which once came forth from Me .... You only have to shape yourselves in such a way that you will be able to feel My love .... You must make the most of earthly life by acquiring spiritual life, and you will be eternally unspeakably happy ...._>Amen

True bearers of light .... Deceptive lights ....

B.D. 7888 from May 8th 1961, taken from Book No. 82

You will only ever be given light so as not to be drawn into darkness again, for My adversary tries to prevent you from finding the light. I, however, have promised you an abundance of blessings during the last days to prevent you from weakening and falling prey to his deceitful games. For he works in the disguise of an angel .... He ignites deceptive lights which do not shine but blind the eyes of those who do not recognise him. However, in your struggle of resistance against him you often use the wrong means by closing your eyes instead of striving for the true light which flows to you as an obvious gift of grace .... you do not hold fast to My Word, the visible emanation of My love, which you can truly successfully use to oppose My enemy, for he cannot abide My light and takes flight .... My love proclaims love, and love in turn awakens the spirit to life. And thus you can always be certain that the spiritual information will concur wherever true love prevails .... where My spirit can express itself .... But then you will discover contradictions .... False prophets will cross your path. They all want to proclaim My Word and you will not be able to find complete harmony .... taking you aback and making you question the working of the spirit in some of them ....

And then My adversary will have already won his game, for the thoughts become confused, people lose their spiritual certainty, they no longer live in unison but in opposition .... Thus the light grows darker, that is, My Word from above will no longer be recognised, it will be neglected for the sake of untruth which, under cover of piety, is far more acceptable and agreeable to people who do not seriously scrutinise it. And then, again, it depends on the person's degree of love whether he will set himself free from error, whether he will recognise it and voluntarily turn to the truth. The light shines in the darkness but it should not be concealed, it must be able to shine forth brightly which always depends on the will of the individual. And truly brightly shining light emanates from Me, from the Eternal Light. But I have only few bearers of light, people who are so permeated by their desire for truth that they are able to serve Me as vessels into which the truth can flow .... people who then will also pass on the light, who will not tire of proclaiming the truth but who will also notice where error has crept in and try to expose it, so that their fellow human beings, too, will be able to enjoy the brightly shining light which alone can give them truth ....

I want the light to be spread, I want My Word to be brought to people and I will bless those who voluntarily render this service to Me by letting Me speak to them and then spread My Word throughout the world .... and all those who thus want to serve Me will also receive the same Word from Me and stand up for it .... They will also recognise where My adversary is at work who tries to cause confusion amongst My Own in the same way .... who wants to extinguish the light from Me and diminish its radiance for darkness to set in again. And evidence of the truth will be provided too. All I ask is that you humans believe in My Words from above, which time and again can be recognised as My Word by people of good will .... And keep My Word .... If it brings you light, if it clarifies what made you question until now, if it shows your God's love, wisdom and might and you feel addressed by Me as your Father then you will also know that I speak to you Myself, and then you should believe unreservedly, for then I convey pure truth to you and this such that everyone can understand, that no one needs to speculate on the meaning of My Words ....

I speak clearly and simply to you humans so that you will truly receive light, so that the darkness of spirit will disappear, for I Myself Am the light of eternity. And since I love My living creations I also want to bring them the light which they had once voluntarily renounced but which irrevocably has to shine for you again if you want to find (and travel) the right path to Me into your Father's house. Light can only come forth from Me, the Eternal Light. You should believe that your Father conveys the light to you Himself because you are in urgent need of it and because there is not much time left .... But you also have to willingly accept the light, you have to willingly listen to the bearers of light, you should know that they are enlightened themselves and thus also able to give you complete clarification .... And all of you will truly find the path to Me when bearers of light lead the way and you readily follow them ....

Amen

Keeping the truth pure ....

B.D. 7889 from May 10th 1961, taken from Book No. 82

I need fighters who stand up for the pure truth .... And this prompts Me to call out to you again and again: Let My word from above suffice as pure truth and don't look for it elsewhere .... unless it is also from Me, but then there is no contradiction whatsoever. And anyone who receives the truth directly from Me should stand up for it and not let himself be distracted by any objections, only then can it be possible for it to spread and shine like a light into the darkness of night which is spread across the earth. And again and again I instruct you, My bearers of light, to keep watch over the spiritual knowledge you receive directly from Me .... Only then will you serve Me in the right way, for you don't know how My adversary works in order to take action against the light which shines down from above to earth, because people will no longer find their way out of the night unless a light is kindled for them which illuminates the paths they should take. Do not believe every spirit .... again and again I have to tell you this, but I also have to leave the assessment to you Myself, yet your spirit will instruct you correctly, it will cause you to reject or accept it if only you give it the opportunity to be able to express itself .... The truth shall be kept pure .... it shall not be mixed with foreign spiritual knowledge, it shall be recognized and valued as My divine gift of grace. And anyone who receives it and recognizes it as the 'voice of the father' will not allow anything else to arise besides it, because it is able to give him everything, because the soul feels satiated and no longer desires any other food .... But you humans will not be satisfied with this food if you let yourselves be fed elsewhere as well. Yet your souls will not be able to feel the strength which flows to them through the bread of heaven .... through the word which is conveyed to you as the working of My spirit .... Accept this word and give no room to any other spiritual good in your heart if you want to walk in truth, in light .... if you want to enjoy My presence, for I Myself am in the word with everyone who accepts Me .... I Myself speak to every person's soul who longs for the pure truth. And anyone who lets Me Myself speak to him also recognizes My adversary's activity and keeps away from him, he repels him and cannot be drawn into darkness again .... desire for light protects him from it, and he recognizes every shadow which wants to darken the light and steps out of it. And truly, it will always be My blessing with My light bearers .... I will reward their zeal with which they seek to keep the 'divine truth' pure. For I have given them the task to protect it, and thus they will also act in My will if they separate themselves from those whose spiritual knowledge they are unable to recognize as pure truth. For they feel responsible for the purification of what I Myself have imparted to them through the spirit, they want to be of service to Me, and they convincingly spread their opinion because they are in My service ...._>Amen

The final completion is the "fulfilment of the law" ....

B.D. 7890 from May 11th 1961, taken from Book No. 82

And this is the fulfilment of My law, that you return to Me forever .... For My law fulfils all beings which remain in divine order, which have completed their self-formation into love and now create and work out of this love because they are now powerful and wise, because they have become My image in free will .... On the other hand, it is a state of imperfection if the being once perfectly created by Me moves outside My eternal order, for then it lacks love, which is the fundamental principle of the eternal order, and without love it also lacks light and strength .... it cannot and will not be active according to My will .... thus it does not fulfil the law. But then it is also distant from Me and wretched. When the being left Me in all freedom of will, when it turned away from Me, it violated My law of eternal order but nevertheless remained My living creation which My love had brought into being .... And this love of Mine also draws the being back to Me one day, because this is also a law in itself, that the strength of love always radiates back to its place of origin .... only the duration of this process differs depending on the being's will. But it is certain that one day it will return to Me, and then 'the law will have been fulfilled' ..... Everything that happens in the meantime in the spiritual and earthly kingdom can be counted as part of the process of return, which takes place continuously and produces the most varied results .... For My radiation of love constantly touches all beings which are part of this process, yet they are received and evaluated differently again depending on the will or resistance of what once voluntarily distanced itself from Me. But it will be touched by My illumination of love, nothing will be left to itself because it would pass away without My illumination of love and this is completely impossible, for nothing can pass away that started in Me and My love. Hence the being can indeed come to a standstill if it persists in its resistance against Me .... but the process of return will never be delayed on My part, for My emanated strength of love will not remain without effect, because again and again it touches the imperfect spiritual essence which is bound in works of creation of the most diverse kind and also always guarantees spiritual ascent, because this bound spiritual essence cannot offer resistance, because it develops upwards through service in a state of compulsion. Hence it also fulfils the law, albeit in a bound state, and thereby matures so that it can reach the stage of its development where it must now voluntarily allow itself to be illuminated by Me and My love .... where the fulfilment of the law solely depends on its will. Hence it then has to re-enter My eternal order, it has to develop love within itself, it has to accomplish the complete transformation into love and then voluntarily rejoin Me by accepting its original nature again and proving that it has completed the process of return by creating and working next to Me in light and strength as My child. It can achieve this last perfection on earth, but then I will also have reached the last aim which I set for Myself when I created all beings. Then the law will be fulfilled, for since I Myself am a supremely perfect being, perfection is the highest law to which the being must subordinate itself which, as My child, shall now work in supreme bliss .... And this law will remain in existence for all eternity, for it is only ever the expression of My perfection, it is founded in My nature .... It is the law of love in which all beingness must move in order to be perfect and truly blissful .... And every being which has love within itself is in My eternal order, it is in most intimate union with Me, it has assimilated itself to My fundamental being, it has become perfect as its father in heaven is perfect and therefore eternally returned to Me, from Whom it originated as a created being and which has now reached the highest degree of perfection in free will ...._>Amen

Keeping the life source pure ....

B.D. 7891 from May 12th 1961, taken from Book No. 82

You will always be allowed to draw from My spring, you will never need to fear that this spring will run dry as long as you yourselves are willing for the living water to flow towards you from it. For I Myself have opened it so that you can refresh and strengthen yourselves from it, I Myself have opened the spring for you which supplies your soul with nourishment it urgently needs in order to mature on this earth. I Myself chose the vessel into which My spirit can pour, which therefore also had to be prepared as it is a prerequisite for the influx of spiritual good. For I want to convey My word to earth, which is the right nourishment for your soul .... Yet just as the body requires daily nourishment in order to survive and fulfil its earthly task, the soul must also be provided with spiritual nourishment, otherwise its path across earth will be fruitless and it will not be able to mature in order to enter the kingdom of light. Spiritual knowledge is indeed brought to you humans on earth but it is no longer received at the source, and thus the water of life, the word of God, has not remained pure; therefore it has also lost its healing power, it has no effect on the soul, for the human being no longer correctly recognizes God's will, he does not know his earthly task and his aim .... He receives nourishment which gives little strength to the soul, and the human being himself acquires little strength because he is lukewarm in his activity of love, because selfish love is too strong and he is not properly instructed about his actual purpose of earthly life. And that is why I repeatedly convey My pure word to earth which informs you. I open a spring from which the living water flows out again, which is full of healing power as long as it is received at the spring itself .... Thus I address people Myself, and you truly must heal from My word as soon as you listen to it and live it out, as soon as you fulfil My will, which I Myself inform you of through My word. And I will never close such a source .... But you yourselves must also keep it pure, you must prevent it from becoming polluted and that impure substances can mix with the water of life which reduce or even cancel its healing power .... I make it My task for you humans yourselves to ensure that purity is maintained, that you don't accept foreign spiritual knowledge and add it to the spiritual knowledge which sounds to you from above, which I convey to you through the voice of the spirit .... I truly only have the will to provide you with good nourishment for your souls, and I also know what serves them to mature .... I know what you need and I also give it to you. You don't need what I don't send to you, but neither should you take it from your fellow human beings who represent it to you as truth .... For I Myself distribute the truth according to My love and My wisdom. But I leave you free to decide whether to accept it as 'truth' or not, for even truth should not force you; the recognition of it requires your free will. But anyone who accepts it also recognizes when he is fed error by human beings and rejects it. And therefore the necessary power of judgement will always be present where I Myself have tapped a spring so that the water of life will remain pure and be protected from harmful additions .... My adversary's activity will always be aimed at weakening the pure truth, and he resorts to the most shameful means in order to achieve this .... But the strength of My word is enough that he will be recognized and repelled. And the vessels which I Myself have chosen to receive My flow of spirit will also be protected by Me, for they will always be faithful servants to Me or I would not be able to convey My pure word to them. For I recognize their will, I know about their love for truth and their willingness to carry My word into the world .... Therefore I can pour out an extraordinary flow of grace because I know how it will be utilized by those who receive it. And this also ensures My protection for them, for the end time requires the truth to be conveyed to people, and I will bless everyone who thus serves Me in this end time by accepting light from My hands and carrying this light out into the darkness of night in which people find themselves as long as they lack the truth ...._>Amen

Submitting one's will to God's will ....

B.D. 7892 from May 13th 1961, taken from Book No. 82

I require your complete submission to My will. For as soon as you become completely absorbed in My will, you will not be able to think and feel any differently than My will intends, and then you will live in such as way that pleases Me. Thus you must give yourselves to Me, you must accept everything from Me as inflicted upon you or bestowed upon you, you must recognise My hand in everything you experience and know that everything has its meaning and purpose, that everything belongs to your path of destiny which aims to achieve your maturity and is based on My love and wisdom. Then you will no longer grumble and complain, you will humbly give in and allow yourselves to be guided like a child by the Father Who cannot handle you in any other way than good and loving and to Whom you can therefore also entrust yourselves in every adversity of body and soul. In the past your will turned away from Me .... if you now voluntarily submit your will to Mine again, your return will have been accomplished and you will only need to shape yourselves in earthly life such that your union with Me can take place, and this necessitates a heart full of love uniting itself with the Eternal Love in order to complete the final return as a child to the Father. However, submitting your will to Mine also guarantees every conceivable help on My part to achieve this unification with Me, because I Myself very much want you, My living creations, to return to Me as children to your Father. And since I let everything .... the whole of Creation .... arise for the sake of this return, I will always be willing to further this .... thus I will respond to your every expression of will, and this truly in a richly blessed way, if it applies to Me. Then you will also always recognise My will in yourselves, you will do what is helpful for your soul; you will work at improving yourselves and avoid all sinful longings, you will fight all temptations by the enemy of your soul and prevail, because your heartfelt devotion to Me will provide you with strength from Me. Then your life on earth will truly not be a waste of time, because you will recognise its meaning and purpose and thus fulfil your task on earth of attaining spiritual maturity. Nevertheless, you will have to struggle until the end of your life on earth, because My adversary will not give up on you so easily, since he will still believe that he can win you back, and thus he will not stop harassing you .... However, a will which is inclined towards Me also guarantees you influx of strength, for I will not let My child fall into My adversary's hands again once it has turned away from him and taken refuge in Me because it had recognised Me as its God and Father of eternity. Therefore you need not be afraid that I might ever abandon you, don't be scared of the moments of weakness you will experience time and again .... I Myself watch over you and protect you from regressing into the abyss, I will not allow the adversary to gain power over you, I will always walk by your side, even if you don't see Me .... in order to protect you and to safeguard you from all harm which threatens you from My adversary's side. He cannot hurt you anymore as soon as you have found your way back to Me, which is demonstrated by your will being inclined towards Me .... For then your earthly life will only be spiritually oriented, you will deliberately detach yourselves from that which belongs to My adversary, even if you are still living within the field of your earthly duties and have to prove yourselves in them .... From then on you will receive all your strength from Me which will tie you to Me ever more firmly .... And because you will have returned to Me voluntarily and he will not have been able to force your will, My adversary will have lost his claim on you. This is why no-one can go astray if he believes in Me and strives towards Me in thought or through kind-hearted activity, which always presupposes the will for Me and testifies to the passed test of will on earth .... Complete dedication to Me also includes submission to My will, and then you will belong to Me and I will never ever let go of you ....

Amen

Perfection means conformity to divine will ....

B.D. 7893 from May 14th 1961, taken from Book No. 82

A living faith can truly move mountains .... You would be able to be in command over all the elements of nature if you had this living faith .... You would be able to transmit your will unto people and animals if in living faith you wanted to relieve their earthly distress .... Then you would always work with My strength, for in living faith you are most sincerely united with Me and able to use My strength without limitation. But what does it mean to possess a living faith? .... To possess such a high degree of love it means that you are fully enlightened, that you know of all correlations and thus also know of your past nature, when you came forth from Me in an exceedingly powerful and perceptive state .... The knowledge you possess now .... having become love yourselves .... will not let you doubt anything because you also correctly recognise Me and My nature, which is love, wisdom and might in itself .... And since you once were created in My image you also realise that the same power is inherent in you when you are united with Me, or, because you are united with Me .... But then you will also use your power according to your inner realisation. You will never attempt to accomplish something that would not be in line with My will, for then your will is the same as Mine because you will have reached the light, the correct knowledge .... It is not possible to have a living faith without love .... Love, however, also ensures insight into My eternal plan of Salvation .... Love guarantees that you think and act correctly, that your will is in line with Mine, that you will not work against My eternal plan of Salvation if you have the right kind of realisation, if you live in the light of truth. For although you will possess a living faith which enables you to accomplish everything you will nevertheless not use your inherent strength of faith to work contrary to My love and wisdom .... for your will, which has conformed to Mine, prevents you from doing this, so that every deed of love for your neighbour accomplished by your living faith will also correspond to My love if it serves his salvation of soul.

For My goal is and will remain that My living creations shall attain beatitude, the maturing of souls, the return of the once fallen spiritual beings to Me. And My love and wisdom will only ever manifest itself according to this goal. And since I have always known people's will My eternal plan of Salvation is based on it, and it cannot be revoked by people who still lack profound realisation .... If you want to be powerful on Earth and accomplish great things you must ignite the love within yourselves into a bright fire .... But this fire of love radiates brightest light, and in this light you will recognise Me and My nature, which is love, wisdom and might .... In that case, however, you will know about My goal and My extraordinarily wise plan of love .... And then it will truly not occur to you to work in opposition to this plan .... You would only ever try to influence your fellow human beings with love, so that they, too, will shape themselves to love, because you recognise that love is the only path to the pinnacle, to Me and to eternal life .... A living faith is the sign of a soul's highly advanced maturity, of a high degree of love, which gives life to this faith .... And with such faith you truly can also move mountains .... But you will always act as one with Me because your love has closely united you with Me. And then you also know My will, you feel it in your heart and act accordingly. But this will can never be directed in opposition to My love and wisdom .... For no wrong will can take effect in you either, then you, too, shall only think and want as I do, then for you, too, only the spiritual being's salvation will be important and you will want to help the souls which still linger in darkness. Earthly longings, however, will be alien to you and never prompt you into using the strength of faith ....

Amen

Justification of the supply of the divine word ....

B.D. 7894 from May 18th 1961, taken from Book No. 82

When I send My word down to earth then My greater than great love expresses itself in an obvious way because I know that you are in profound spiritual adversity and want to help you to get out of this adversity. I want to give you strength in such a way that everyone can make use of it who listens to Me when I speak to him directly or through My messengers. I know that you are weak and that you walk your earthly path in vain without the supply of strength, and therefore it is My constant concern to supply you with strength, and this happens through My word which sounds to you from above. For as soon as you hear My word, as soon as you open yourselves to My word from above, the connection with Me is established and My flow of strength can overflow into you and enable you to ascend. For I have blessed My word with My strength .... and thus it must have a beneficial effect on your soul, it must serve it to mature, it must be spiritual nourishment for it which helps it to attain eternal life. I was able to speak to all of you in the beginning, you all heard My word within yourselves, you were in most intimate contact with Me and My love constantly radiated into you, and we had a lively spiritual exchange through the word which emanated from Me and resounded in you and which you were also able to return and were therefore immeasurably happy. You gave up the ability to hear My word in you when you voluntarily turned away from Me .... And yet, I seek to establish the bond with you again and again but need your free will to do so .... And blessed is he who musters this free will, who allows himself to be addressed by Me, who makes use of My great grace that I dignify him with an address, even though he has not yet finally returned to Me .... But he has the will and I also comply with it by revealing Myself to him .... Yet you all cannot grasp the value of this gift of grace, for your God and creator, your father of eternity, inclines Himself towards you humans who once became sinful and voluntarily distanced yourselves from Him .... My love is so great that it applies to you and will apply to you for all eternity. And it is this love which speaks to you again and again because it knows you are in need. For you are still far away from Me, even though you are in the last stage on this earth, even though you live on earth as a human being and thus have taken your last external form before you enter the spiritual kingdom again .... But you don't take your task on this earth seriously enough, you do nothing or too little to achieve your perfection on earth, you don't live in love which would give you strength. And therefore I come to you in the word to teach and stimulate you; and I convey the strength to you to accomplish your transformation into love .... I bestow upon you grace upon grace because I Myself long for your return, because I want your earthly progress to be successful and you to detach yourselves from the world and its attractions .... And that is why I speak to you again and again .... (18.5.1961) and what I now tell you is pure truth, for it comes from the source of truth .... again and again you humans will distort My pure word and then the word offered to you will also have lost its strength. But without strength you cannot mature, without strength you cannot cover the path of ascent, without the supply of strength you cannot become blissfully happy. And since you are weakened beings as long as you live on earth My love is always willing to help you if you want to accept it. And My direct address is the surest help because it requires the bond with Me and every bond with Me also ensures the overflow of strength, which therefore now happens through My word. You are not even aware of what it means to be directly fed by your father with strength .... You cannot measure My infinite love, which leans towards you with every direct address .... and which also guides My messengers the right way to carry the strength to people which they need to ascend to Me. But a loving father knows about all His children's needs and does not leave them without help. And thus I also know where you are lacking, I know about your weaknesses and faults, I know about your will .... And as soon as it turns towards Me, My love will never let you go .... It will surely wrest you from the enemy, for you are Mine and will remain so forever, only your free will has to strive towards Me. And therefore I prove Myself and My presence to you humans when I address you, so that it will be easy for you to take the path back to Me, so that your will will be stimulated and you turn your eyes upwards to where your true home is .... For you are in a foreign land and you shall return home to Me, your father, Who desires your return, so that you will now be united with Me and eternally blissful ...._>Amen

Presence of God .... preparing for the temple of God ....

B.D. 7895 from May 19th 1961, taken from Book No. 82

I want to take abode in your hearts .... I want to be present to you at all times, I want you to desire My presence and therefore also prepare yourselves as a temple in which I can dwell .... And this means that you free yourselves from all impure desires, from all faults and weaknesses, that you shape yourselves into love, because love adorns your heart and thus this now becomes a vessel which can now receive My love and My spirit .... which is and remains a dwelling place for Me Myself, and you will now also experience My presence .... by addressing you Myself and being in constant intimate contact with you. If I can be present to you then you have truly passed your test of earthly life, then you have returned to Me again, from Whom you once voluntarily distanced yourselves .... If I can be present to you, then all your thoughts and aspirations will only be spiritually directed, then you will often dwell with Me in thought, you will hold a dialogue with Me, you will never feel alone again but always be aware of your father's presence and thereby feel inner peace and bliss already on earth, For then earthly burdens and worries will no longer weigh you down, because you hand everything over to Me and are certain that I will take care of everything for you, Who is present to you, Who dwells in you and will truly also faithfully take care of you. Let Me take abode with you and prepare yourselves in such a way that you will show your love to your father from eternity .... Make your heart a temple of God .... shape yourselves into love, because eternal love can only take abode where love is .... because I can only be in My primal element and because I long for your love. But then nothing will be able to separate us anymore, then the child will be united with its father and then it will be allowed to hear Him at all times, it will be able to communicate with the father as it once did when I revealed Myself to My living creations in the word, when they constantly received My emanations and were indescribably happy. And your degree of love during earthly life will also determine the degree of bliss My presence can trigger in you. And when My word resounds in you and you receive the evidence of My presence then this shall stimulate you into ever deeper love, for you receive a delectable gift from the father within you which, again, is only love and shall awaken or deepen love .... And then you shall also prove your love to Me .... You should carry My teaching of love into the world, you should try to encourage your fellow human beings to live a life of love, you should also want to help them to become a temple of God .... You should also awaken in them the desire for My presence and stimulate them to be lovingly active on earth. And you will truly perform works of love which are pleasing to Me .... For I want to take abode in all people, I want to be able to speak to everyone Myself, because then I would have achieved My aim that you humans have changed yourselves into love, that you can now also unite with Me and become blissfully happy ...._>Amen

There is no eternal death ....

B.D. 7896 from May 20th 1961, taken from Book No. 82

When I speak to you through the voice of the spirit then you can also be certain that you receive the pure truth, and you need not worry about spreading error into the world. But the working of My spirit is not always permitted, and then misguided teachings will also be represented as divine truth, and these will cause you to worry about the truth of the word you received. Yet you need not fear misguidance on My part, and you will always enjoy My protection as long as you want to be of service to Me and sincerely endeavour to only fulfil My will. It is a purely spiritual process which always takes place in you when the spiritual spark in you seeks contact with the eternal father-spirit, and the instruction you now receive from within through Me can only be of spiritual content again, for I want to enlighten you about things which are only significant for your soul. And therefore you will already recognize by the content of the good you receive whether the spirit in you or the intellect was active .... That the intellect can err is possible .... But My spirit does not err. Therefore you can pass on without hesitation what My love offers you through the transmission of My word, and you need not doubt or fear to represent an untruth yourselves .... It is coming to an end .... And this is the reason why I repeatedly convey the pure truth to earth, for much error has entered the teaching material and again and again I try to correct this error. I enlighten you in the most understandable and simple way about My plan of salvation from eternity .... What this means will only become clear to you when you dwell in the kingdom of light where you can see everything and are in fullest realization. But as far as it can be made comprehensible to you, the knowledge of it comes to you in order to give you only a small light why you stay on earth. I reveal Myself so that you receive information about My being... For I want to win your love, and therefore you should also know the being to Whom you should give your love .... And you shall know that I am Love .... You shall gain faith in it and never lose this faith again .... For I court your love, because you came forth from My love .... And thus I want to tell you one thing: What somehow gives cause to doubt My love is error .... Love is My fundamental being, and love never ends .... And the beings which emerged from My love never lose My love, even if they once voluntarily distanced themselves from Me .... My love follows them and does not rest until these beings have returned to Me again .... Thus they cannot be lost forever .... For if I were to relinquish just one being it would also mean that I had abandoned it to My adversary. And this cannot and will not happen eternally. The fact that the time of your distance from Me cannot be called a state of 'life' goes without saying, because the flow of strength of love, to which the being closes itself in resistance, is an essential part of life .... Thus it is then in a state of death .... But even this will not last forever because I will not rest until everything has come to life and I will certainly reach this aim one day. There is no eternal separation from Me, for My love is so strong that it will one day break the hardest resistance .... but not by coercion, because love does not use coercion .... But its strength is effective, and in the long run no being can resist the divine strength of love. You humans must believe in My love, which is infinitely profound, which can never diminish and which is the fundamental basis of all being .... But where would My love be if only one being were abandoned to ruin and eternally doomed to death? If this teaching is brought to you then reject it, for it does not correspond to the truth, it was brought to you by My adversary who tries to slip in wherever he can in order to invalidate the truth, in order to portray Me as an unmerciful God, in order to make people believe in eternal damnation. Even My adversary will return to Me one day because he will not be able to resist the strength of love forever .... And if this is certain, then no being can ever fall prey to eternal death which was torn into the abyss by My adversary and which would therefore be hopelessly lost if My love could not also redeem it from hell .... There is no eternal death .... let it be said to you, otherwise you doubt My love which truly achieves everything because it is a 'divine strength' which nothing can resist forever. And you can believe that My spirit teaches you correctly, for this is why I impart this knowledge to you, because you allow yourselves to be impressed by misguided teachings .... because it is the time of the end and because you should know the pure truth, so that you give all your love to the one Who called you into life and Who longs for your return because He loves you ...._>Amen

Whitsun experience ....

B.D. 7897 from May 21st 1961, taken from Book No. 82

The event My disciples experienced at Whitsun can repeat itself with everyone of you, for I have promised My spirit to all people with the Words 'I will send you the Comforter, the Spirit of truth ....'. It was not merely a unique experience only intended for My disciples, instead, My spirit flows time and again to those people who make heartfelt contact with Me and appeal to My spiritual strength. And, in fact, everyone can feel the strength of the spirit within himself, as his thinking will become enlightened, everything that was previously incomprehensible will be understandable to him .... For My spirit grants clarity and light because it is a direct illumination from Me, Who is the Light of eternity.

Hence, the outpouring of the spirit upon My disciples was not a unique experience, instead, this process was taking place for the first time, since prior to My crucifixion it was not possible for a person who had not yet found redemption through the blood of Jesus Christ to be imbued by My spirit .... As long as people were still afflicted by the original sin they were unable to establish this heartfelt bond with Me; the guilt of the beings' apostasy from Me stood between Myself and each and every person, and it was impossible for My spirit to permeate a soul encumbered by sin.

Once the act of Salvation had been accomplished the path of return to Me was also open for every person .... From then on it was possible for every soul to so shape itself through love that the awakening of the spirit into life took place, so that the spiritual spark in the person strove towards the eternal Father-Spirit and the person's heartfelt bond with Me enabled Me to pour My strength into him .... so that My spirit filled His soul and brightly enlightened him, teaching him from within in all truth .... so that the divine abilities, which laid dormant or buried within as a result of his past original sin, emerged again .... so that all these abilities became extraordinarily dominant and testified to his unity with Me .... so that they thus proved the divine nature of the one who had entered into unity with Me ....

Then the disciples were able to speak, for they were filled by My spirit; they were able to perform miracles, heal the sick and also have an insight into the spiritual kingdom .... Then they were true apostles of My Gospel for they recognised the truth within themselves, they were guided and impelled by My spirit to speak according to My will. They were permeated by the strength of the spirit, just as I previously promised that I will remain with My Own until the end of the world .... And this promise did not just apply to My disciples but to all people .... which this promise self-evidently shows .... I always wanted to please people, I always wanted to pour out My spirit, always convey the truth to them, which was only possible through My spirit .... Yet how rarely has My Word been understood, how rarely is this promise taken notice of, and therefore the outpouring of My spirit not aspired to either, even though everyone would be able to experience it ....

But I also linked it to the condition that you should believe in Me and keep My commandments .... for the 'outpouring of the spirit' is like a direct 'revelation'. And I can only reveal Myself to someone who lives in love, who thus awakens the indwelling spirit to life .... Do understand that My spirit will guide you into all truth .... that I, the Eternal Love, reveal Myself .... that I convey knowledge to you and thus educate you from within .... And in this way I also instructed My disciples. I gave them the ability to understand everything I had previously told them, and then, according to this understanding, to proclaim Me Myself and My act Salvation to their fellow human beings, for they should be informed of My will and the cause of their wretchedness, as well as the goal I had set for their life on earth. Thus, they needed to know everything themselves in order to truthfully instruct their fellow human beings ....

And at present I likewise fill My disciples with My spirit again and send them into the world, because people shall know My will once more and everything that lays ahead of them .... The Gospel of love shall be proclaimed to them anew by My servants who are imbued by My spirit so that they can carry out the task I have allocated to them .... For it is the time of the end and people ought to know the truth, which only I Myself can give to them through My spirit, which permeates those who are willing to serve Me, and who I send into the world again before the end has come ....

Amen

The Father speaks to His children ....

B.D. 7898 from May 22nd 1961, taken from Book No. 82

O, if only you would comply with My message, if only you would accept My Word and seriously consider it in your heart and live accordingly .... Then you would surely experience the strength of My Words, you would become clearly aware that your Father, Who loves His children and only wants the best for their future happiness, has spoken to you .... Time and again I tell you that only My deep love for you prompts Me to speak to you, and that My infinite love is the reason for everything you see around you, for everything you experience .... And thus I repeatedly give you evidence of My love for you but you fail to become aware of it .... You demand other evidence in order to accept that My revelations are true .... Everyone of you wants to be spoken to himself and yet I Am speaking to all of you when My Word sounds from above.

But consider this: you originated from Me as My 'living creations' .... and as My 'children' you shall return to Me again .... You will have to accomplish this transformation into 'children' yourselves. And it is up to you yourselves if and when you achieve it. If you seriously intend to reach the goal during your earthly existence then you will accomplish this change of your innermost being, you will establish a connection with Me in your heart, and thus you will also be able to hear Me speak to you in your heart and be happy. Then you are restoring the right kind of relationship as between a child and its Father by yourselves, and then the Father will also speak to His child, the child will be able to hear its Father's voice within itself and no longer doubt that the Father Himself is speaking to His child .... thus, this maturity is required by a person to whom I would speak directly ....

But mere words cannot prove this close relationship, and you should not only believe that you have shaped yourselves into 'children' but should endeavour to become your Father's true children. The purpose of My message from above is to encourage My living creations to conduct themselves in a manner which turns them into true children, who fulfil their Father's every will and to whom I can also speak like a Father to His children. My Word from above informs you time and again of My boundless love for you. My love is so immense that I bestow you with the undeserved grace of hearing Me Myself although you have not yet achieved the degree of maturity to be worthy of it. But since My love towards you has not diminished it overlooks your faulty condition and grants you grace in abundance. And you humans should deem the receipt of My Word as one such grace, by which I inform you that My Being consists of love, wisdom and power .... And whoever accepts My Word also knows that he is forever pursued by My love, that it cares for and protects him, that it will not let him go astray, and that it wants to prepare eternal happiness for him ....

Therefore he needs no further evidence of My love because his heart can feel it as soon as it has voluntarily opened itself .... And then the person also knows that he is and will remain My child, because then he will constantly be aspiring to reach Me, because he reciprocates the love I give to him ....And subsequently he is closely united with Me .... But every formality is unfamiliar to him, his inner life is entirely spiritually orientated, the external life hardly ever affects him .... He will only emit love, and this is the sign of his soul's maturity and not words and gestures which anyone can use even when the maturity of soul has not yet been achieved. For this reason you should never judge an external appearance either because it can conceal an inner life which you cannot see but which is known to Me at all times. Nor should you accept My Word with your intellect alone but accept it deep within your heart and it will work on and within you when you live in accordance with it and thus fulfil My will. Because the Word itself shall and will indeed convince you as soon as your will is turned towards Me, as soon as you sincerely aspire towards the Father, from Whom you once came forth ....

Amen

Order to the vineyard workers ....

B.D. 7899 from May 23rd 1961, taken from Book No. 82

It is truly not an easy office which My servants have to administer, for it imposes obligations on them which they cannot avoid if they want to be faithful servants to Me in My vineyard. They must always carry out My instructions, and I always demand readiness from them because it is often urgent work they are to perform. For according to their willingness and ability I have entrusted them with the ministry, and thus they must not be lukewarm and ignore My instructions .... And thus they shall scatter the seed which they receive abundantly from Me .... They shall prepare the ground for it: They shall supply the human hearts with the spiritual knowledge they have received from Me, so that it will sprout and bear fruit. Not everyone is able to receive My word directly from Me, which is truly the most delicious seed a human heart can receive .... Hence there are also only a few servants in My vineyard to whom I can entrust this good. But those who receive it from Me shall also spread it, they shall be diligently active and convey My word everywhere, for the time is only short and much fruit shall still ripen before the harvest comes .... For you humans are in the time of the end .... that is why My words are so urgent, and that is why I admonish you to be restlessly active, that is why I repeatedly instruct you to scatter the seed which I constantly supply to you .... I send you out into the world to proclaim the gospel to people again .... I know that I have assigned a responsible ministry to you, who want to serve Me, but I also know who is capable of it and who musters the will to be undauntedly active for Me. And My strength will also become apparent in these, for they will keep My word, they will be faithful servants to Me and do what I ask of them. And anyone who has to administer such an office can also always be certain that I Myself will stand by his side, that he will do nothing without My support and that I will always put the right thoughts into his heart so that he will act according to My will. And therefore it only requires full willingness to serve on his part that he is also able to carry out what is My will .... Then he will be an efficient labourer for Me in My vineyard, then he will constantly experience My blessing, My strength will flow through him and the work will be successful. Whoever wants to serve Me will also be accepted, for much work shall still be done before the end .... Many fields still lie fallow, that is, there are still many human hearts to which the word of God has to be conveyed, which therefore shall receive knowledge of Me and My love, to whom My word has to be revealed so that they will carry out the work on their souls, so that they will become suitable to enter the kingdom of light after their death .... There are many people who shall be led to believe in Me as their God and creator, Who wants to be their father .... there are many people who lack all knowledge about their purpose of life on earth .... These are all fields which lie fallow and which have been handed over to you, My servants, for cultivation. You shall supply them all with the seed which you receive directly from Me, and you shall ensure that it sprouts so that I can still reap a great harvest before the time is fulfilled. And so serve Me in all loyalty, listen to My instruction: Carry My word out into the world .... Pass it on to all those I lead you into the way .... do not tire of working for Me and My kingdom, give Me your will and all your love .... And I will truly fill you with strength to be active in My Will, I Myself will stand by your side and bless your work, for truly, you do not have much time left ...._>Amen

Light .... Radiance .... Wisdom ....

B.D. 7900 from May 25th 1961, taken from Book No. 82

All those of you who want to work for Me, who want to participate in the redemption of the as yet enslaved souls, all those of you who want to serve Me during the last days before the end, listen to Me: The mission for which you voluntarily placed yourselves at My disposal is very important .... It requires much love and patience for your fellow human beings, it requires effort and perseverance and a helpful heart which recognises people’s hardship and would like to improve it .... And it requires great love for Me, because a person wanting to be of service to Me will only enter into My will if he totally hands himself over to Me and thereby also receives the strength to accomplish his mission. The goal is to convey to people the truth which can only come forth from Me and which is absolutely essential if the redemptive work is to be successful .... because the human being can only become aware of his own state when he receives the truth, because only then will he recognise the purpose of his life on earth and only the pure truth will enable him to gain a correct image of Me as his God and Creator, his Father of eternity. Humanity suffers great spiritual adversity, being kept in spiritual blindness by the prince of darkness they spend their earthly life in a lightless state, i.e. they don’t know the truth, they come to wrong conclusions and only regard life on earth as an end in itself .... There is such a pressing need for supplying the truth that I will bless every person who offers his service to Me, because I can only convey the truth through you to people who do not shape themselves in a way that they can receive it directly .... I need you to accept the truth from Me Myself and to carry it into the world .... However, only a few are capable of receiving the direct transfer of My Word which can claim to be truthful knowledge .... which provides people with clear understanding, with the knowledge they need in order to live an appropriate way of life that helps them to attain perfection on earth .... However, first they must be encouraged to live a life of love, because without love they will be unable to recognise the truth of subsequent knowledge .... Love comes first, and then love will also guarantee the understanding for all correlations, for My nature and My reign and activity .... This is why only a loving human being can accept this truth from Me .... I can only convey ‘truthful knowledge’ if the prerequisites have been met for receiving it directly .... But where this can take place, those of you who want to serve Me should congregate and accept the light which you shall then carry into the world .... Understand that it is truly light which is emanated by Me .... that it also contains radiance, that is, it will also be clear and understandable to those to whom you want to pass it on if only they are of good will .... Then I will also speak to these human hearts Myself through the Word you impart upon them and they will recognise it as My Word because it gives evidence of itself ....

Safeguard this Word from all impurities, do not mix it with human thoughts, emphasise it as My direct emanation of love and only ensure that it will be distributed .... For people’s spiritual state is such that only My direct address can still have an effect, that only the strength of My Word is still able to affect people’s hearts and lead to a change in their nature. After all, people also want to be allowed to use their intellect .... they also want to recognise wisdom when knowledge is presented to them as the divine Word .... They don’t want empty phrases but they also want to deal with the subject matter rationally, which is only possible if the pure truth from Me is presented to them .... For this reason I convey this knowledge to you humans, for this reason I inform you of My eternal plan of Salvation, this is why I try to clarify the meaning and purpose of earthly existence and to explain all correlations, so that you will be able to believe if you are of good will .... Hence I kindle a light in you Myself and only instruct you to serve Me as bearers of light by distributing this light and to keep fetching the knowledge from where I Myself send it to earth, where it is received by a tool which I recognised as being suitable for receiving the truth from Me so that it can subsequently emanate the light .... so that it will disperse the darkness the prince of darkness has spread across people. And by its bright and radiant shine you will also be able to infer the source of the light, for that which is emanated by the ‘Eternal Light’ Itself must also disseminate illumination and be recognisable as divine emanation. It must be profound divine wisdom, a knowledge which testifies to My love, wisdom and power and which comprehensibly informs you about My reign and activity so that you humans can convincingly speak of ‘divine truth’. And if you, My servants, want to do redemptive work then you should spread this divine truth, you should pass it on to your fellow human beings, you should impart the light upon others and thereby dispel the night which is no-one’s friend .... You should help to improve people’s spiritual state, to ensure that they can all be affected by the strength of My Word, which will truly not remain ineffective.

Amen

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

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

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

Vows not in the will of God ....

B.D. 7902 from May 27th 1961, taken from Book No. 82

What you want to achieve on earth you should achieve of your own free will but not feel induced to do so by coercion of any kind, for you should make a free decision of will and this alone determines your fate in eternity, your spiritual development, your spiritual maturity. And therefore you should not bind yourselves through a vow either, for then you will make your will unfree yourselves, and that does not correspond to My will. You will raise the objection that this vow was made by you of your own free will, but you should know that you are anticipating Me, that you are doing something for which you do not have My approval, which I would never give you either, precisely because of your freedom of will. You can do exactly the same thing you want to do even without having taken a vow, and then you will also be able to be certain of My blessing as soon as they are works of love .... But what good is a work which lacks love if you feel prompted to do such works by a spiritual compulsion? .... It will not take you one step further in your maturity of soul, and you will waste time which you could use better if you were free from any such obligation. You should not bind yourselves with a vow which I will never ever approve of, for every constraint kills, you render yourselves incapable of working with love .... because a constraint weighs down your soul and everything you do under this constraint cannot result in spiritual success. And that person who takes such a vow from you is also to be condemned, for he is controlled by My adversary, otherwise he would have to recognize the nonsensical, God-opposing nature which is expressed in a vow. You promise something and don't know whether you will be able to keep it, whether you will not break yourselves with such a vow, because you have completely wrong ideas if you believe that such a promise is pleasing to Me. For this reason no person should be of faith to make himself My servant through a vow if this is taken from him by a fellow human being .... As soon as he offers himself to Me Myself for service in My vineyard, as soon as he hands himself over to Me that I may accept him, his free will has become active and I then use him according to My will, where and how I need him. But a person should never take a vow from his fellow human being, and a person should never promise something if he himself does not know whether he will be able to keep it ..... For then he will have relinquished his freedom of will, and his actions or omissions will be of no value, they will not be regarded as voluntary deeds in My eyes, as the individual's free decision of will. A vow can be the occasion for an activity which is then only carried out mechanically and whose value is thereby reduced. And a vow can also stifle any love that cannot be forced, that must come from the heart and also develop freely .... And only that which is based on love is pleasing to Me. It lets the soul mature and promotes development. And anyone who has love within himself does not need a vow .... he is driven from within to do everything, and he will truly always act as it is My will, as it pleases Me and as it is beneficial for his soul's salvation ...._>Amen

Priesthood .... the right disciples ....

B.D. 7903 from May 28th 1961, taken from Book No. 82

I once sent My disciples out into the world; thus they were to proclaim My will, My gospel of love. And I instructed them during My life on earth, I Myself exemplified a life of love to them and thus enabled My disciples to be true proclaimers of My divine teaching of love. They were to present the urgency of a life of love to people and also make the effects of such understandable to them, and therefore the disciples also had to be able to prove in themselves what they proclaimed to their fellow human beings about it: They had to possess unusual strength and knowledge themselves so that people would recognize the truth of My teaching and then strive to attain perfection themselves. And the first disciples also had unusual strength and knowledge because My spirit was able to fill them, for they had been redeemed through My sacrificial death on the cross, and through their love they were in intimate contact with Me .... It will now also be understandable to you that only those can be called My true disciples and followers of those disciples who also provide the evidence of being filled by My spirit, who also draw unusual strength from Me through a life of love and most intimate contact with Me and have truthful knowledge at their disposal which they received from Me Myself .... It will be understandable to you that not everyone can call himself a follower of My disciples who was given an office by people which only I can bestow, because I know every person's state of maturity and will and therefore also who I choose for such an office .... The 'priesthood' cannot be conferred by people, it is an office which I alone have to decide upon, because people are unable to judge the inner maturity and will of the person they appoint to such an office .... And thus you will often find true 'priests', i.e. servants of God, where you don't suspect them, and you will be allowed to refuse your recognition to those who have made themselves into such, for My calling is part of it which is also to be recognized as such. The individual's inner life is decisive for the relationship a person has with Me. And the contract is concluded solely between Me and the person, and this truly does not require a third party who would have to determine where I alone make the choice as to whom I send out into the world as My true disciple in order to proclaim the gospel to fellow human beings. If the abilities which allow My spirit to work are not present, then the human being will not be able to carry out proper missionary work either, then he will not be a suitable tool for Me, he will not be able to pretend to be My disciple, and then his work will also be unsuccessful, even though he believes that he is doing vineyard work. At the time of My life on earth I chose My disciples Myself, and I still do so now, but a servant called by Me, who has reached a high degree of maturity, will also be able to judge what task he now has to accomplish, and he will then willingly comply with it because I Myself work through and with him and he now also has unusual strength and knowledge at his disposal which impels him to tirelessly work in My vineyard. And these disciples of Mine will preach love and live out love .... They will stand in right knowledge, they will stand up for Me and My name before all the world .... Their position in the world will be different from what you humans expect .... for they will be active for Me in secret but not fear any power they are subject to, for they acknowledge Me as their lord Whose instructions they comply with .... they serve Me of their own free will and are faithful servants to Me in the last days before the end .... They do not seek external honours and recognition, they do not seek rank and dignity, but they also do not shy away from those who stand in rank and dignity and want to be recognized as successors of the apostles, as successors of those disciples whom I once sent out into the world with the command: "Go and teach all nations ...." For My right disciples know their mission, and they faithfully seek to administer the office into which I have appointed them .... And My right disciples will also not shy away in the last days before the end, when the battle of faith will break out; then they will confess Me and My name before all the world, they will bear witness to Me and stand up for Me and My kingdom with strength of faith ...._>Amen

Self-salvation? .... Jesus‘ work of redemption ....

B.D. 7904 from May 29th 1961, taken from Book No. 82

No man can redeem himself, no man can become blessed by his own strength .... Consider that you are powerless when you enter the earth as a human being .... You are indeed given the vitality for your existence as a human being with which you can create and work according to your will. But in order to become blissfully happy you must be in possession of spiritual strength, and this is lacking in you who are still part of My adversary, who dragged you down into the abyss and, due to your past apostasy, rejected My strength of love, thus you became completely powerless. You were bound by My adversary and he did not let you go. Although I had already released you from his bondage when you were .... bound by Me.... through the creations of earth in order to slowly ascend again. But during your human existence he has control over you again insofar as he can influence your will, for you are still his share until you voluntarily approach Me. But for this you need spiritual strength which you do not yet possess. But the purpose of your earthly life is your release from him, the redemption from his control, from the fetters he had placed around you .... And because you therefore don't possess the strength to do so, you cannot redeem yourselves .... You need help, which only one can provide: Jesus Christ, the redeemer of the world .... In Him I Myself came to earth in order to accomplish the act of salvation for you, in order to redeem you from My adversary through My blood .... in order to acquire the strength for you which you need and which will be supplied to you if you acknowledge Me as the divine redeemer, if you want to avail yourselves of the blessings of the act of salvation. again and again I try to make the significance of the act of salvation clear to you; I try to make it understandable to you humans why you have to acknowledge Jesus Christ and His act of salvation and that it is not possible for you to become free from My adversary's power without Him, the divine redeemer .... that it is not possible for you to redeem yourselves.... that you need Me in order to become blissfully happy. You are unable to do so by your own strength, for you first have to acquire it, and therefore you have to muster the serious will to release yourselves from My adversary's power, and this will is weakened by your past apostasy from Me because you lack love .... You rejected the divine strength of love, you are without love yourselves, and love is the strength which would enable you .... Yet as long as you still belong to My adversary he will do everything to prevent you from working with love, and you do not have the strength to resist him .... You have to request strength from Jesus Christ and therefore also acknowledge Him as the one Who alone can redeem you from the enemy's power .... But then your redemption is also certain .... Then you will only ever use your available life force to work in love, you will receive strength and constantly increase it, and you will be able to resist My adversary, you will turn to Me, Whom you recognize and acknowledge in Jesus Christ, and his power is broken from the moment you entrust yourselves to the divine redeemer Jesus Christ, confess your guilt to Him and ask for His forgiveness .... For then you willingly turn to Me again, from Whom you once separated yourselves. And My strength of love can now radiate through you again, you will receive strength and now be active according to My will .... And your spiritual strength will grow, you will mature in your souls, you will strive for perfection on earth, and you will also be able to do so because you have become free from the power which kept you bound until Jesus Christ Himself loosened the chains and you can now live in spiritual freedom again. And then you will have attained true life, which you will not be able to lose again, for through Jesus Christ you have truly been redeemed from sin and death ...._>Amen

Divine love commandments .... right church of Christ ....

B.D. 7905 from May 30th 1961, taken from Book No. 82

Wherever the gospel of love is preached the spirit from Me is also active, providing that the mouth does not merely speak dead words which are without spirit and life .... that the preacher only uses dead letters of which his heart knows nothing. Yet as soon as the gospel is proclaimed alive it is I Myself Who speaks through the preacher's mouth, and then the word will not remain without impression either, it will touch the hearts of the listeners again who are also alive and desire to be addressed by Me Myself. Where love is taught I can also intervene Myself, Who am love .... And where love is taught My vineyard labourers are also active to cultivate people's hearts and to supply them with divine seed, for the commandments of love are given by Me Myself, they are the most important commandments, the fulfilment of which results in an inconceivable blessing. Where love is taught the first thing is done in order to achieve a living faith which presupposes the fulfilment of those commandments .... and where there is living faith is My church which I Myself founded on earth .... And thus all people who live in love and faith belong to this church. Hence you need never ask which denomination or school of thought is the right one .... for every one can register members of My right church, because people can be found everywhere who live in love and thereby also attained a living faith .... And these again will have awakened their spirit in themselves to life and also stand in knowledge .... And this is the sign of belonging to My church, that My spirit works in them .... that a bright light shines in them, that they are able to recognize the pure truth and therefore also reject error, that they are also certain of their judgment because My spirit itself instructs them and kindles that bright light for them. And thus true representatives of truth will also emerge from every denomination or school of thought. And those who are of the same spirit will come together .... And these will be happy when they find each other, when they gather and feel Me Myself in their midst, as I have promised. For they will feel My presence because I Myself express Myself through the spirit of those who bear witness to Me, who come together to exchange spiritual information. These are therefore alive in faith and also alive in their actions, for once they have recognized Me, which My spirit achieves in them, they will also eagerly stand up for Me; their predominantly spiritually directed life will become recognizable and inspire their fellow human beings to also look for the right life which, however, can only arise through a life of love. Love is everything .... Without love every spiritual organisation is just a dead building, because the members determine the life of this organisation. They must practice love, they must fulfil the divine commandments of love, only then will they come to life and never lose this life again. Therefore, every person should only ever try to increase his degree of love, he should not be satisfied with external actions and the fulfilment of humanly decreed commandments .... he should only pay attention to My divine commandments of love, he should remember that I only gave these two commandments of love for God and his neighbour when I lived on earth, and he should know that everything else results from the fulfilment of these commandments: a living faith, profound spiritual knowledge, enlightened thinking and the supply of divine strength in order to be able to successfully cover the path of earthly life .... For the aim is the union with Me, the complete unification, which, however, can only be achieved by love. For I Myself am love, and whatever wants to unite with Me must have completely shaped itself into love. This is so simple and understandable that love has to be lived first, that the commandments of love truly have to be called the most important and that therefore My church is only built on love and the faith which has come alive through love .... Thus only ever endeavour to live in love and know that I am present wherever My gospel of love is proclaimed ...._>Amen

"He who believes in Me ...."

B.D. 7906 from May 31th 1961, taken from Book No. 82

Again and again you will be informed that My promise will be fulfilled which states that anyone who believes in Me will attain eternal life .... but that you must live in a living faith in order to partake of this promise. And this in turn means that you have to live in love if you want to attain a living faith .... Love therefore guarantees you eternal life, for it gives birth to a living faith. But I must demand such faith from you, for if this firm inner conviction is not within you then you cannot understand the significance of the act of salvation either .... Then you will only be guided by words, you will speak of faith but in truth you will not possess it .... because you lack the knowledge of all correlations, a knowledge which only earns you a life of love .... Without love you can only speak of a dead faith, of words which lack the deep inner conviction .... You just don't dare to contradict a doctrine of faith which is offered to you, but it gives you no enlightenment, and thus you would also never be able to stand up for such a doctrine if this was demanded of you. I have given you the promise: 'He who believes in Me has eternal life ...." But you first have to deal with what I want to be understood by 'faith in Me' .... You have to think through what you are told about Me and My act of salvation and take a stand on it, and only then will it become clear whether you are able to believe everything, whether you are fully convinced that it is as you are taught or whether you have inner doubts. And this examination must be undertaken in all seriousness on your part. And then the degree of love plays a major role in what you are able to 'believe' .... Anyone who lives in love does not doubt, for the significance of the act of salvation and the mission of the man Jesus on earth is clear to him .... He knows that Jesus sacrificed Himself for the sake of humanity's sins and understands the divine redeemer's act of mercy .... He acknowledges Him as his redeemer and also knows that he cannot become blessed without the act of salvation .... He himself makes use of the graces of the act of salvation .... he believes in Me and can therefore come into the blessing of My promise .... for his faith is alive, it is not a dead form .... it is not a figure of speech, it is not words uttered only by the mouth .... It is felt alive in the heart, and such faith will also have an effect, it will be expressed in works of love, because love does not let the human being remain inactive but again and again expresses itself in works. And beatitude .... eternal life .... I can only give to someone who has changed to love and whose faith is also alive. All My words are spirit and life .... And thus the promises are truth and will be fulfilled, but I also require the right spiritual attitude towards them .... I cannot give beatitude and life to those who have not yet seriously striven for it, who have no inner contact with Me but which love establishes .... Then faith will also be right, and then the human being will also strive for perfection on earth, for he will have recognized Me by virtue of his love and faith and will long to return to Me again, from Whom he once originated. And then every promise I made to people when I lived on earth will truly be fulfilled in him. But a dead faith will not result in spiritual success, in a dead faith the human being will not strive spiritually on earth .... Although he does not contradict the doctrines of faith which are brought to him, he will not be able to convincingly uphold them as truth either, because he lacks the spiritual knowledge to do so as long as he lacks love. Without love, however, there is no life either, because love is the strength which allows for activity, and because 'life' means being able to be constantly active in God's will .... to be able to work in light and strength as My child and to be immeasurably happy ...._>Amen

Becoming God's 'children' .... Childship to God ....

B.D. 7907 from June 2nd 1961, taken from Book No. 82

At no time ever will I withdraw My love from you, even if you voluntarily stay away from Me .... one day you will return to Me again because My love will not abandon you. And I will always also give you the evidence of My love, I will take care of and provide for you when you live on earth as human beings, because I want to gain your love which will unite you with Me again as in the beginning. Thus you should never doubt My love .... But your love determines the degree of your proximity to Me, it solely depends on your love whether and when the unification with Me will take place. And you demonstrate your love to Me by the degree of your neighbourly love, which you should constantly increase if you want to become perfect. And that, in turn, necessitates that you completely relinquish your selfish love, that you strive to become engrossed in love for your neighbour, that you unselfishly help your neighbour .... Then you will come ever closer to Me, for with every deed of love you draw Me to yourselves, you ascend with every deed of love and establish the bond with the Eternal Love .... Then I can be in you Myself, My love will be able to permeate you as in the beginning, you will have become and will remain My children for all eternity ....

And your purpose of earthly life is that you, who once came forth from Me as 'living creations', shape yourselves into 'children'. Since you took the path through the abyss and became completely devoid of love as a result of your past apostasy from Me, it is a difficult task to shape yourselves of your own free will into love again.

It requires a strong will which has to be put into action. The strength to do so repeatedly has to be acquired through love or requested from Me through heartfelt prayer .... Hence it is not enough just to make declarations of love to Me, but it also requires deeds of love in order to receive this strength, but then it also results in a steady move towards Me.

As soon as a person voluntarily opens his heart in order to allow himself to be illuminated by the strength of My love his heart will be ever more willing to love, and one day he will achieve his objective: he will attain the childship to God as soon as his life is an uninterrupted activity of love in utter unselfishness ....

But only few will achieve this degree of love on earth, because a person's own Self still comes first, because it requires great effort for the human being to give up all wishes and longings for the sake of the next person; since the soul has to purify itself completely during its earthly life, and this requires a high degree of love and frequently a considerable measure of suffering too, so that the soul is entirely purged when it departs from this earth. Then they will have matured into true children of God and have already found unification with Me on earth, they will have shaped themselves of their own free will into 'children', which I could not create for Myself .... But anyone who seriously strives for this, who time and again in profound humility pleads for My blessing, who already feels like My child, will not slow down in his endeavour and reach his goal ....

But he has to be filled by love for Me, not by the desire for utmost beatitude .... and his love for Me will then also constantly heighten the degree of neighbourly love .... However, he only demonstrates his love for Me through his neighbourly love .... I want to teach you all to become My children, and all of you should also feel as if you were My children, otherwise you won't establish the right kind of relationship with your Father of eternity, from Whose love you emerged. You just should not forget that you are on earth in order to become My children, and that you therefore constantly have to make an effort .... But once you are My children then I can and will take you from earth, because then you will have achieved the goal for which I created everything .... utmost perfection in free will ....

I repeatedly have to bring this difference home to you in order to motivate you into utmost striving, for as long as you walk across this earth My adversary also has an influence on you, and as long as My adversary can still influence you he will also know how to stop you from becoming completely engrossed in neighbourly love, because as long as unspiritual substances are still in you, your body still has earthly longings, your selfish love has not yet been entirely conquered, and the human being still has to fight against these. But completely rising above them also ensures him a high degree of love, and then the unity with Me can take place, then the Father will draw His child to Him and will never ever leave it again ....

Amen

The end time justifies the gifts of grace ....

B.D. 7908 from June 3rd 1961, taken from Book No. 82

It is an unmerited act of grace that you humans may hear the Word from above, for in the time shortly before the end the human race will have reached a spiritual low level which will necessitate a disintegration of the earthly creation, a transformation and new embodiment of all still constrained spiritual substances as well as the souls which presently live on earth as human beings and, for the most part, are failing in their test of earthly life. People therefore don't strive towards unity with Me of their own accord, they keep their distance from Me and, in their rejection, are not worthy of being spoken to by Me .... It is therefore an extraordinary grace that I nevertheless lean down and speak to people, that I also allow My Word to be given to those who keep away from Me. Hence I forget about their state of unworthiness, I pursue those people who turn away from Me precisely because the time of the end has come and because this end signifies a renewed banishment into matter for many human souls which I would still like to avert while there is still time .... I call and coax, I let My light ray of love shine in all places, I touch people's hearts with this ray purely in order to make them come to their senses, accept and ponder My Words in their hearts and then live their lives accordingly .... I just don't want them to go astray for an infinitely long time again .... And this great risk exists, for only a few people have a living faith in Me which will protect them from the downfall when the hour of the end has come. For this reason My love grants you this final gift of grace, even though you do not deserve it .... And you need only not reject it when My servants want to convey My Word to you .... Listen to them and reflect without inner resistance on what I say to you .... Then you will also be able to gain faith in your God and Creator which will not be a blind faith .... And soon you will feel My love in you as well, because you will not dismiss the impression of thoughts coming to you because you will sense that they correspond to the truth. Simply let go of your inner resistance and you will be saved for time and eternity.

Listen to Me .... and the strength of My Word will take effect in you, because My Word will illuminate you with divine strength of love .... You won't hear empty human words when My messengers bring My gifts of grace to you .... Human words are easily discarded, but the Words of God exert an influence, provided that the human being does not fight this influence. Therefore I do not expect anything else of you than to listen to Me when I come to you Myself in the Words conveyed to you by My messengers .... I do not ask for anything other than that you do not turn away in indignation, but to think about it for once .... And I will truly help you to recognise the truth of My Word, your heart will feel addressed by Me and your thoughts will gradually turn towards Me, your resistance will grow weaker and the strength of My Word will begin to take effect in you. Simply surrender your resistance and, truly, I Myself will look after every individual person and convey to him Words of love and grace, Words of support and comfort, Words of wisdom, according to his soul's need so that it will recognise Me Myself in the Words brought to people by My messengers. For verily, I say to you: it is the time of the end .... And time and again My love and mercy approaches you anew and wants to protect you from the fate of a renewed banishment when the end has come .... And therefore I will still shower you with My gifts of grace and will still try to gain anyone whose heart is not yet entirely hardened for Me and My kingdom  .... I will try to reveal Myself to him as the most loving God and Father of eternity and he will truly be affected by the ray of My love. He will be able to recognise My Word as the Father's voice Who wants to help His child, Who wants to protect it from the abyss, Who still wants to save it before the end has come ....

Amen

The significance of Holy Communion ....

B.D. 7909 from June 3rd 1961, taken from Book No. 82

How often has the significance of Holy Communion been explained to you already, how often has the offering of My flesh and My blood been described to you as the offering of My Word .... How often have I told you that I Myself Am the Word of eternity, that I offer Myself to you, that you eat My flesh and drink My blood when you accept My Word in your heart .... Your soul needs nourishment which will help to heal and strengthen it, since prior to that it is sick and weak .... It must be fed with the bread of heaven and be given the water of life. It needs healthy nourishment which only I Myself can administer, for it must be spiritually fed, it must accept food from the spiritual kingdom. And this is why you must partake of the Supper at My table with your host, Who invites all of you to come to Him and let yourselves be fed by Him. Your soul shall receive bread and wine, My flesh and My blood is the proper nourishment, and thus it accepts Me Myself when it accepts My Word which I Myself convey to the soul from above. For regardless of whether I speak to it directly or whether it accepts My Word through My servants .... I always break the bread Myself, I always give the water of life Myself, and then it will always partake of My Supper at My table, which is richly laden so that no soul wanting to be My guest will lack nourishment. Yet by this I do not mean an outward practice, I Am not satisfied with the fact that you perform external rituals and acts in the belief that I Myself will then be within you, that you unite yourselves with Me when you take part in the ceremonies which you understand as the Lord's Supper, as Holy Communion .... They will only ever remain mere external acts and rituals if you do not wholeheartedly desire to hear My Word, to be addressed by Me .... if your soul does not hunger and thirst for the bread of heaven and the water of life: for My Word ....

For I Myself Am My Word, and only when you are seized by great longing for My Word can you say that you intimately unite yourselves with Me and take Supper with Me, for only then will I be able to offer you bread and wine .... My flesh and My blood .... Only then will you have come to My table in order to take Supper with Me, then you will receive Me Myself, as I have promised .... I Am the Word .... And the Word has become flesh .... And thus you should understand My Words correctly which I spoke on earth 'Whoso eateth My flesh, and drinketh My blood, hath eternal life ....' Only the person who hears My Word and allows the strength of My Word to affect him can attain eternal life, for his soul will heal, it will mature fully, through My Word it will know My will, and My Word will provide it with the strength to live in accordance with My will .... hence it will not just hear My Word but also live it and gain the true life, which it will never be able to lose again .... And because I know how urgently you humans need nourishment for your soul I send My messengers into the world and invite everyone to come as guests to My table and take Communion with Me .... And no-one will need to leave My table hungry, for it is richly laden for all those who come to Me with the desire to receive food and drink from Me .... I have wholesome food and a health-giving drink waiting for all of you, but you must come to Me yourselves, hunger and thirst must drive you to Me, then your soul will receive refreshment; time and again it will fortify itself anew for its pilgrimage on this earth, it will not exhaustedly fall by the wayside, for time and again it will be offered nourishment as soon as it desires it, as soon as it closely unites with Me and requests to be fed by Me .... I Myself will come to you, I will knock at the door of your heart and with anyone who willingly lets Me in I will indeed take Holy Communion and he with Me .... However, do not believe that you can find Me where only outward formalities are being observed .... where you close your ears to My Word which comes to you from above, for anyone who does not listen to My Word does not listen to Me Myself either; anyone who rejects My Word rejects Me Myself and his soul will remain without nourishment. It will have to starve and enter the spiritual kingdom in an immature and poor state when the hour of death arrives ....

Amen

Doctrine of damnation is misguided teaching ....

B.D. 7910 from June 4th 1961, taken from Book No. 82

Do not fear to become lost when you carry Me in your heart .... do not believe that an avenging God will punish you for your sins, that He has no mercy, that He will condemn you forever .... I Am a God of love and mercy, and will always help you to ascend from the abyss into which you plunged yourselves of your own free will. As a result of your sins you have placed yourselves into a wretched state; you created the state of suffering you find yourselves in .... Yet I will always support you to find your way back out of the abyss, time after time I will help you to become blessed again as you were in the beginning. You wanted the evil yourselves and drew it close to you, the effect of your past voluntary aspiration and action could never be happiness but has resulted in a miserable state ....

But your God and Father loves you because you came forth from His love .... and this love will never cease. Hence it will always endeavour to encourage you back, it will do everything to grant you a blissful fate, but it does require your free will. Since you once left Me voluntarily, since you once burdened yourselves with a grave sin, you also have to return to Me of your own free will again, you have to realise your guilt, you have to regret it and ask Me for forgiveness .... and everything will be as it was in the beginning, you will be blissfully happy in your relationship with Me .... Thus you may always believe in a God of love and mercy .... for although I Am also a righteous God I will nevertheless not leave you to your self-chosen destiny or inflict punishments on you .... It is therefore wrong to say that I condemn you for your sins .... instead I meet this attitude with the act of My love and compassion: My sacrificial death on the cross on behalf of your sins. If I wanted to condemn you eternally for your past guilt of sin My act of Salvation truly would not have been necessary. But I gave you the proof of My love and mercy .... I sacrificed Myself, I died for you, I surrendered My life on the cross for your guilt of sin ....

From this alone you can see that the doctrine of eternal damnation is a misguided doctrine, because My act of Salvation proves the opposite .... it gives evidence to you of a God of love and mercy, Who sacrifices Himself in order to redeem your guilt, Who therefore will not ever eternally condemn you .... A punishing God is not the true image of Me and My Being, I Am love and will never plunge My living beings into even greater misery than they already experienced through their apostasy from Me .... I want to regain them and therefore took their guilt upon Myself in order to redeem it, because I took pity on the destiny of the fallen souls and I wanted to help them to ascend.

But the living creation .... the human being in the last stage on earth .... can also refuse to accept My mercy and remain obstinately far away from Me, then he will stay wretched indeed and create his own fate of damnation which, however, he can stop at any time by merely approaching Me, by acknowledging My act of Salvation and by calling upon it .... He will always find in Me a loving Father Who wants to help His child, Who Himself longs for His child and will at all times support him .... He merely respects the free will of the child and does not force it to return. But then it will suffer an unhappy fate until the voluntary return to Me has taken place ....

I AM a God of love and mercy .... But righteousness, which is part of My perfect nature too, does not permit Me to provide you with a blissful fate since it was your own fault that you became sinful .... You first have to accept the atonement of your guilt through My salvation, you have to acknowledge Me in Jesus Christ and want to belong to those for whom I shed My blood on the cross .... And truly, you will no longer speak of a God of wrath, Who condemns you mercilessly .... You will experience My love on yourselves, for He Who took your past guilt of sin upon Himself and atoned it, wants to unite with you again and permeate you with His strength of love, and you will be and remain blissfully happy for all eternity ....

Amen

Transformation from death into life ....

B.D. 7911 from June 5th 1961, taken from Book No. 82

I guide all that is dead into life .... For the origin of everything in existence was life .... It was a state of constant activity in light and strength, for the strength of My love .... the foundation of everything in existence .... also permeated that which emerged from Me as a being, and this strength had to become effective in continuous activity. This activity consisted of constantly creating; however, the kind of creations cannot be explained to you since they were spiritual creations which your still limited thinking is unable to grasp. But it was active, and this activity was the evidence of ´life´ .... When the beings turned away from Me, when they opposed My strength of love, they gradually fell into a state of inactivity, and thus their state of life became a state of death .... They hardened within their substance and became immobile, rigid and incapable of all activity .... But then they could no longer be called happy .... And countless beings are still in this state of death, which once came forth from Me in all perfection, which were abundantly happy because they were able to be effective in light and strength without restriction .... but which nevertheless voluntarily gave up their perfection when they opposed Me and rejected My illumination of love, when they followed My adversary .... who, as My first-created being, also detached himself from Me .... into the abyss. Hence their state of life became a state of death .... However, I will not leave them in this state forever, I will try to bring the dead back to life and will not rest until I have reached My goal that everything which had once fallen away from Me has returned to Me .... until it has come alive again. But this process of return to Me will take an infinitely long time, which certainly will come to an end one day but the duration of it is determined by the being itself. For I have to take free will into account, which is the possession of every being as a sign of its Divinity and which therefore also determines the form and duration of the process of return. Everything you see around you, thus every work of creation, only emerged for the purpose of this process of return, for I devised a plan of Salvation which My love and wisdom recognised as successful and which is implemented by My power. I want to bring everything that is dead back to life.

And that means that all that which is rigid, all that which is incapable of activity, must gradually be allowed to become active again. But this is now decided by Me Myself, because I restrained the formerly rebellious will for a certain time of higher development so that it slowly returns to a state of ´life´ although in a state of compulsion .... i.e., during this time it has no free will, but has to move according to My will, in order to then, after an infinitely long path of development, reach a state of free will once again. And this process of development involves passing through all creations on earth .... it is a process which becomes understandable to you if you imagine that every work of creation is animated by individual substances of soul, which formerly belonged to the once fallen being and which, in its dead state, was dissolved into countless tiny particles, which thus carry out their designated task within the creations according to My will .... according to the divine law of nature .... You humans are only intended to get a rough idea of what Creation fundamentally consists of .... you should know that it did not arbitrarily arise without meaning and purpose but that it has a tremendously significant purpose indeed: to contribute towards awakening all that which is dead into life .... For that which once deserted Me were beings which I externalised as images of Myself, which I wanted to make supremely happy and, at the same time, find My happiness therein as well .... They had been My love´s living creations, which I will never abandon and which I also want to help out of their self-inflicted state of death, which I want to guide into everlasting life .... And since My love for My once created beings has not diminished I will not slacken in My efforts to bring these dead creatures back to life. Yet one day they will also receive their free will again, and then they will have to complete the work of My love themselves .... They must strive towards Me again of their own free will, just as they once turned away from Me .... Thus they must choose a state of life themselves, for their final perfection is not determined by My but by their will. And if this will fails, then the being itself will indeed extend the duration of its state of death, but one day I will reach My goal with certainty, for I will leave nothing in a state of death which once emerged from My love into a free life in light and strength ....

Amen

God gives truth to those who desire it ....

B.D. 7912 from June 7th 1961, taken from Book No. 83

Trust Me that I will truly not leave you in error if you seriously desire the truth from Me. You must have this trust in Me and then you will also have the most certain guarantee, for thereby you will demonstrate a strong faith in Me which I will never let go to waste .... I, as the eternal truth Myself, also want My living creations to live in truth, and therefore I will not tire of conveying it to them, because My adversary's activity is and was to keep the living creations in darkness so that they will not be able to recognize Me in My love, wisdom and might .... You must know that it only ever concerns whether you find your way to Me in earthly life or not .... My adversary does not want to release you; but if you recognize the truth then you will detach yourselves from him and strive towards Me, Whom you can only recognize through truth alone .... And therefore he seeks to withhold the truth from you, he seeks to prevent you from receiving the truth; he will always appear where the truth is conveyed to you from Me, and he will try everything to prevent or invalidate it. And since I love you and My love will never ever abandon you, I will not let you pass away in spiritual darkness if you yourselves long for the truth, for the light of realization .... And you will also be able to recognize the truth as such if only you are serious about coming into possession of it. If you desire the truth then you also desire Me Myself, and I will always fulfil such desire. Therefore it is wrong to say that you have no guarantee to stand in truth .... it is wrong to say that no human being will fathom the 'truth' .... Although it will not be possible for him with human intellect, if he turns to Me Myself, to the eternal truth, then he will also be able to be certain that he will receive it, for I Myself will convey it to him because he has approached Me Myself with the request for the pure truth. Trust Me and truly, your thinking will be right, you will recognize the truth as such and reject error, because then I will not let you walk in error if you desire the light of truth. But also seriously ask yourselves once whether you desire the truth .... You must ask yourselves this question because you can also call knowledge your own which you are not willing to give and which nevertheless does not correspond to the truth .... Seriously ask yourselves the question whether you desire truth .... And do not be too sure that you already stand in truth .... If you desire the truth, then only turn to Me with trust .... free yourselves from all previous thoughts and now let yourselves be taught by Me. And if you were thinking correctly before, then the spiritual knowledge will also be imparted to you again, only now you will be able to represent it as 'truth' with conviction, because you have now received it from Me, because you desired the pure truth .... You should not feel too certain of right thinking as long as the intellect is still preaching, as long as you accept knowledge from outside which you have acquired through study .... And it is and remains a dead knowledge which you cannot yet represent as truth until you request the truth from Me Myself .... Only then can I enlighten your spirit, only then will your ability to judge be strengthened, and only then will you move into right thinking, into truth, which only I can and will impart to you if you seriously desire it .... For you first have to be in intimate contact with Me Myself so that I can express Myself through the spirit, which now introduces you to all truth, as I have promised you .... Therefore entrust yourselves to Me and believe that you will truly be taught correctly and that the error emanating from the prince of darkness, who fights against the truth because he wants to darken the path to Me for you humans, will now become obvious to you .... But I will always help you to the light if only you seriously desire it ....

Amen

Opponent's attempt to extinguish the light ....

B.D. 7913 from June 8th 1961, taken from Book No. 83

You need not fear the adversary as long as you entrust yourselves to Me with complete faith, for he has no power over you if you turn to Me, if your will belongs to Me, if your striving is spiritually directed. He will only ever try to dissuade you from this striving but then you will always receive the strength from Me to resist him, for his power is broken .... he can certainly tempt you but not force you as long as you strive away from him. Only then is there danger for you if you turn to the world, if you pay attention to the kingdom which belongs to him, if you put Me back and then grant him power again which he will use in every way. Yet you who want to belong to Me need not fear him, only you should be on your guard, for he knows how to present the world with its charms to you again and again .... And thereby he wins many people who have not yet joined Me, who still regard life as an end in itself and know nothing about their actual task in life on earth .... The battle will continue between light and darkness .... Wherever the light shines there will always be demons who want to extinguish the light, for they are driven by their lord to fight against the light, to confuse people's thinking, to spread shadows where My light of love shines .... But the light is stronger, it will break through and chase away all shadows. And where I Myself have kindled a light, there the guardians also stand ready and protect it from going out, they also protect it from every dimming, they ensure that it can radiate its glow without being hindered .... Where I Myself am at work, where I reveal Myself, there truly no opposing force will achieve an obscuration, for a great act of salvation still has to be accomplished for which My light is necessary, because it shall illuminate the path for people who still want to find salvation before the end .... And where I Myself work through My spirit there will also be no lack of evil spirits who find My light unbearable and therefore want to extinguish it; but the brilliance of the light which I Myself have kindled is so strong that these evil spirits will flee .... And you should always be certain that I have the power and also the will to protect the light from all dimming, for it shall shine brightly into the night, it shall chase away the darkness so that everyone will recognize the path he has to take and which cannot be found in the darkness of night. I Myself kindle the light for you people who are of good will .... I Myself send you bearers of light whom you only need to follow and who will also guide you along the right paths on which you will reach your aim. And therefore don't fear the adversary if only you always have Me as your aim .... For he can only work where he finds people who are in bondage to him .... But anyone who wants to escape his power will also be protected by Me, the path will be shown to him and then he will safely walk under My protection ....

Amen

Love for neighbour: Help in spiritual need ....

B.D. 7914 from June 9th 1961, taken from Book No. 83

I have given you a commandment to love one another .... And this also means that you should patiently bear the other person's weaknesses, that you should help him in every adversity of body and soul. For the weak need the strong for support, and therefore your intercession should also be for the weak so that he receives strength to walk according to My will .... Therefore you should also take care of your fellow human being's spiritual hardship by giving him strength through good thoughts and prayer, which he needs for his spiritual progress. Anyone who has the grace to directly receive the bread of heaven, the water of life, from Me should first give it to the weak person, for then he will also directly impart the strength to him which will beneficially touch his soul. Then the weakness will also give way, he will become strong in spirit, he will constantly demand to receive food and drink from Me, and you will have accomplished the greatest work of love for your neighbour, which will have an effect for all eternity .... Only love will ever achieve this, the will to help people in every adversity .... And then you will also prove your love for Me, for you know that every soul is dear to Me, that I want to win it for Myself and that I bless everyone who helps Me to win a soul .... Thus I value the work for Me and My kingdom particularly highly because souls which once separated from Me are brought to Me again as a result .... And the work for Me and My kingdom consists of supplying people with My word, of remedying the spiritual hardship they are in by supplying them with My word, of supplying strength to the souls because they are weak and need strength. However, this work for Me and My kingdom will only ever be carried out by people who have a heart willing to love, otherwise their fellow human beings' adversity would not touch them .... Therefore, no person who voluntarily works in the vineyard can be denied love either .... unless he seeks worldly reward, honour and glory and earthly goods. But these labourers are not in My service, they still serve the world and the one who is master of this world .... My servants, however, are called and chosen by Me Myself, and thus as long as they selflessly serve Me they are driven by the love within themselves which is meant for Me and their fellow human beings. And since people's spiritual hardship is evident they fully commit themselves to bringing them help which consists of spreading My word into the world, of proclaiming My gospel to people, which I Myself commissioned them to do. Thus they serve Me and their neighbour and thereby prove their love for Me and their neighbour .... But I also know what you humans need who are still weak .... I know what kind of nourishment gives you strength and what My servants therefore have to offer you so that you become healthy, so that your soul matures and takes the path back to Me from Whom it once originated .... And therefore I Myself convey the right nourishment to earth, and it is blessed with My strength. I come to you Myself in the word, I offer Myself to you as nourishment .... for I am the word .... And you shall receive Me Myself into your hearts, and then you will truly lack nothing, you will lose all weakness, you will receive strength in abundance, and you will effortlessly cover your pilgrimage on earth with the success that after the death of your body you will enter the kingdom of the beyond in light and strength .... For this is truly accomplished by My word, which I Myself convey to you from on high .... And you, My servants on earth, live out love when you help your neighbour in spiritual need .... when you bring them My word. You then also demonstrate love for Me, for you then bring My children back to Me who were separated from Me for a long time ....

Amen

Opponent's attempts to extinguish the light ....

B.D. 7915 from June 10th 1961, taken from Book No. 83

The adversary's activity will become even more obvious as the end approaches. For it is his concern that the darkness in which humanity lives should be preserved. It is important to him that every little light is extinguished or covered, that the truth does not break through, because this brightly illuminates him and his doings and he then loses his following .... In the end he is granted great power because this is done by the people themselves who are in bondage to him. And he succeeds in influencing people, for he also wraps himself in the garment of an angel of light if he thereby hopes to achieve success. And where the truth from Me is directly conveyed to earth .... where a light from Me shines brightly in order to break through the darkness he is now particularly at work, and again and again he will push you, My bearers of light, away and try to make you insecure, he will attack you personally and try to make you doubt the mission you are striving to fulfil .... But he will not succeed in this, for I protect the truth and I also protect you who receive the truth from Me directly .... And I say to you: Everything is good that is done for Me and My kingdom in an unselfish way .... However, as soon as the smallest personal advantage is sought the work for Me loses value, for then My adversary is already behind it and you are endangered; for he also disguises himself well and you will not recognize him so easily. But he will still betray himself, for he does not represent the pure truth from Me .... And therefore beware of any contradiction to My word, which I send to you from above, which brings you light into the darkness that reigns on earth .... Whatever comes from Me will always radiate light, it will give you true knowledge, it will provide you with knowledge which corresponds to the truth .... Understand, you humans, what is meant by darkness: You have lost all knowledge about your origin and your aim, about your task in earthly life .... you know nothing about the correlations, you know nothing about your God and creator of eternity, about His nature, about His plan of salvation of eternity .... You therefore lack all knowledge .... And I will remedy this lack, I will give you a light, I will explain to you everything that is connected with your existence, with your state, and I will spread out before you My plan from eternity .... Hence you shall be led out of the state of 'darkness', you shall reach the 'light of truth', and therefore I Myself guide the truth to earth .... Understand that only pure truth from Me can ever be called 'light' and that this emanation is a gift of grace for you humans of unheard-of significance .... And now you will also understand that My adversary will make it his business to darken this light if he does not succeed in extinguishing it .... You will understand that he intervenes himself and appears as an angel of light if he can only achieve that the radiant splendour of the light from above is veiled .... But you, My bearers of light, must reckon with this and only use yourselves all the more eagerly for the spreading of truth, so that the light from above still finds entrance everywhere and its rays break through the darkness of night .... Pay no attention to the activities of My adversary who will do everything in his power to work against Me, but remain faithful to Me and serve Me by spreading My light .... by helping those to realize who desire light and therefore also recognize the truth when it is offered to them by you .... Join Me ever more closely and you will truly enjoy My protection and be allowed to serve Me unhindered .... Go your way, for I Myself will guide you and don't look to the right or to the left but only ever upwards, towards Me, Who shines towards you as eternal light, Who also radiates His spirit into you again and again, because you are to proclaim the truth which originates from Me .... because you are to bring people a light which chases away all darkness, for only through truth can you become blessed, only in light can you find the path to Me ....

Amen

Explanation for the unusual knowledge ....

B.D. 7916 from June 11th 1961, taken from Book No. 83

Broad fields of knowledge will be opened up to you when you receive My Word from above, for I Myself will introduce you to knowledge which cannot be intellectually acquired by you. You, who should teach your fellow human beings, must first be instructed yourselves in everything that you humans need to know. But you should also be able to refute every objection when it comes to defending the only truth, when rational people try to undermine the spiritual conclusions .... Then you should be able to explain all correlations, and thus you first have to be guided into profound spiritual knowledge which can only take place through My direct Word .... For I can only address you directly if you, through a life in accordance with My will, have shaped yourselves such that My spirit will be able to pour into you, and only then will you also understand what is imparted to you as profound knowledge .... on account of which the same knowledge .... if it is passed on from person to person .... will only be understood and recognised as truth by someone who lives a life of love and has awakened the spirit within himself.

The spiritual information is comprehensive, yet it will always be imparted to you as you require it in order to first become fully mature yourselves and to then carry out the mission which you have accepted of your own free will .... And in view of the approaching end, broader knowledge has become necessary; My plan of Salvation has to be presented to people so that they will recognise the significance of their earthly lives and do whatever it takes to escape the fate of a renewed banishment .... And this plan of Salvation covers the development of all created beings, the origin, present state and goal of everything that came forth from My strength of love. The knowledge is extensive and new to many people, for so far it has not been necessary to inform them of it. Yet the time of the end requires that this information is now conveyed to people, so that they will live more responsibly .... And thus they shall also know about their previous infinitely long earthly process which they already covered as soul-substances .... This knowledge, too, was strange to them and therefore they can only accept it with difficulty. Nor will they be coerced into believing it .... yet mentally they can form their own opinion and derive benefit from it ....

However, no human being can ever intellectually attain knowledge which concerns My reign and activity .... which explains My Being, which substantiates everything, even the forthcoming event, the transformation of earth, the spiritual and earthly turning-point .... Such knowledge can only be imparted to you from above, from Myself .... It can only be conveyed to you through the 'working of the spirit' and thus should also be recognised as an exceptional grace, which will still be granted to you in the last days .... And you humans should also understand that I Am only motivated by My greater than great love to inform you of everything in order to effect your voluntary return to Me, that you recognise My love and respond to it .... You should understand why I demand the spreading of My Word ever more urgently, why I would like to give this remarkable information to all people ....

This knowledge can only be conveyed to earth when certain conditions are in place. But wherever this is possible, that is, where people look for clarification, this is where they should acknowledge My direct activity and accept the gift of grace which can help their souls attain maturity during the last days before the end. For then they will truly receive knowledge which is presented to them by Myself and which also exposes every misguided teaching that was able to assert itself in the darkness of the spirit but which can no longer resist the bright light of truth .... The correct knowledge, which I offer you in My love, provides you with information and clarity, and it truly requires no further verbal human addition, it requires no further explanations added by human intellect .... My Word from above is offered to you in all clarity; it is comprehensible to everyone and provides you with the right concept of Me and My Nature, of My reign and activity ....

My Word from above guides you into truth, as I have promised, and should be distributed because all people shall know about My eternal plan of Salvation, because all people shall know about the end .... about the total transformation of the earth, which is intended by My plan of Salvation and will truly be carried out when the time is fulfilled ....

Amen

Source .... Vineyard work .... Grace time ....

B.D. 7917 from June 12th 1961, taken from Book No. 83

When I Myself address you through My spirit, when I convey My word to you which provides you with extensive knowledge, and when I give you the task to spread this word of Mine, I also know that it is urgently necessary, for time is rushing by and the end will come faster than you think. Therefore, again and again you are given this task to work diligently in My vineyard. And this work consists of you "carrying My gospel out into the world", .... that you pass on what you receive from Me directly .... that you make use of every opportunity to inform people of the unusual activity in you .... that you give Me the opportunity to address people, because they shall be instructed of their task in life and because they shall also be given the knowledge of My plan of salvation. When I open a spring from which the water of life flows I do not do so for the sake of one human being but I call all pilgrims to refresh and strengthen themselves at this spring .... But do you humans know how to appreciate this great gift of grace that is offered to you? .... Do you know what it means when you can draw fresh and healing water from a spring when you are afflicted by thirst? .... And so you shall hear that your soul thirsts for a refreshing drink, that it is exceedingly grateful when it is offered a fresh spring water. And you should make use of this great gift of grace and seek out the spring from which you may draw constantly, which I will not let run dry because I know how indispensable it is for your souls. But this time of grace will also come to an end one day, the time will come when it will be difficult to reach the source, when you will be prevented because the powerful on earth will be under the influence of My adversary and openly proceed against Me, against everything spiritual, against faith in Jesus Christ. And you shall be prepared for this time, you shall constantly draw strength from the source, you shall let yourselves be addressed by Me so that you will then have the strength to resist, to remain faithful to Me and to stand firm until the end. Therefore I want to impart much strength to you, i.e. to your soul, beforehand .... therefore I want it to become healthy and mature before this time dawns .... And therefore I give you the task again and again to be constantly active for Me by spreading My word. And no matter how much resistance you face .... remain tirelessly active and point your fellow human beings to the source, because only a true drink of life can be offered to them there, where the water of life flows forth fresh and pure .... I truly want to bless you, for I still want to win many souls before the end, and only the pure truth can lead them back to Me, which originated from Me Myself and which I guide to earth through My word .... For the time left to you until the end is only short, and it shall be utilized in every way because great spiritual hardship exists which can only be remedied if people listen to My word, which is blessed with My strength ....

Amen

Scrutiny of spiritual knowledge ....

B.D. 7918 from June 13th 1961, taken from Book No. 83

Contact Me when you are presented with spiritual knowledge for scrutiny, so that I will guide your thoughts into the right direction and give you the ability to form a correct judgment. For your intellect is incapable of making spiritual judgments; it requires an awakened spirit to guide your thinking into the right direction, and thus I Myself, the eternal Father-Spirit, must always be able to establish contact with your indwelling spiritual spark if your correct thinking is to be guaranteed, if your scrutiny for the origin of spiritual knowledge is to be accurate. The intellect cannot conduct such an examination and, were it to do so, there would be no guarantee for truth, for truth comes forth from Me and it will only be recognised by those who establish contact with Me, who appeal to Me for enlightened thinking and who therefore will not accept anything but the truth. And so you humans should not value your intellect too highly, for as soon as it concerns spiritual spheres I want to be approached directly, otherwise the 'truth' would only ever be the privilege of those people who possess a highly developed intellect .... But My condition for correct and truthful thinking is different: I expect from you humans the love which awakens your spirit, which enlightens your thinking, which is a direct bond with Me, the Eternal Love Itself. A sharp intellect, however, is no guarantee for a life of love .... A sharp intellect without love can also be used by My adversary, and then truthful thinking can never be expected because the influence exerted by My adversary will always be against Me in order to undermine the truth which exposes him. Understand that only a person living a life of love is wise .... for he lives within divine order and is thus enlightened, he has gained realisation, the knowledge of the pure truth. So, of what use is a highly developed intellect to a person if he lacks love? He will not be able to offer you truth, as My adversary's tool he is more likely to lead your thinking astray, since the former will always intervene where a person's life opposes the divine order, where the principle of love does not predominate .... Love protects him against this influence, love characterises him as a divine living creation, love testifies to the bond with Me and therefore also always to correct thinking, and thus he will also always know the truth, he will be capable of forming a correct judgment when he scrutinises spiritual knowledge, and he will reject all false spiritual information .... The degree of love therefore determines to what extent the human being knows the truth and not the amount of externally received spiritual knowledge, which will remain lifeless knowledge as long as the spirit is not yet awakened through love. The reason why so much error exists in the world and why error is far more likely to be accepted than truth is because people lack the ability to make correct judgments and therefore readily accept anything they are offered by people with great mental ability who are deemed 'competent' to scrutinise spiritual knowledge for its truth. You must always approach Me directly for help, you must always appeal for My support, if you don't want to fall prey to error .... Always appeal to Me for spiritual enlightenment, for correct thinking and for recognising the truth .... And your desire for truth will guarantee your correct thinking, for I want you to know the truth; I also want you to pass a correct judgment when it is requested of you .... But I always want to be recognised and approached as the origin of truth, for only I can impart it to you through those whose spirit is awakened because they live a life of love ....

Amen

Meaning of the gift of grace .... Power gift ....

B.D. 7919 from June 14th 1961, taken from Book No. 83

Always accept My word as given to you so that you will pass it on and fulfil its purpose: to bring strength and light to people who walk in darkness and are powerless .... Again and again it is necessary for you humans to know the significance of the great gift of grace which I convey to you because you are in great spiritual need. Your thoughts and aspirations predominantly belong to the world; yet you think little of your God and creator, and therefore you rarely establish the bond with Me, in which alone I could impart strength to you for your pilgrimage on earth. You should not believe that the life energy at your disposal was only given to you in order to fulfil your earthly wishes .... You should use it to acquire spiritual strength, which means that you should use the strength of life to work with love, which will then certainly also earn you spiritual strength. For you need spiritual strength for your ascent upwards, for the maturing of your soul .... Spiritual strength will not be lost to you when you have ended your earthly life and lost all vitality .... Your task in earthly life is to acquire spiritual strength, and you receive spiritual strength through loving activity, through heartfelt prayer to Me and through listening to My word, which is a direct transmission of strength and which, once again, only informs you of My will: to shape yourselves into love, without which you cannot become blissfully happy. Believe that you only have to strive on earth to increase your spiritual strength. And believe that I want to supply you with this strength and therefore speak to you. And when you hear My word from above it is truly a gift of grace with an extraordinary effect, for it gives you what you lack but which you need in order to mature during your earthly life in order to be able to enter the kingdom of light and bliss when you have ended this earthly life .... My word, which I offer you, is everything: it is the bread from heaven, it is the manna which comes from heaven and is nourishment for your soul .... it is a light that dispels darkness, it is the source of strength from which you can constantly draw the water of life .... It is the proof of My love for you humans to whom I can be present if you also show Me your love .... It also proves My wisdom and power to you, for you are introduced to a knowledge which gives you a clear picture of My nature .... My word is the illumination of My divine strength of love, and this can never remain without success, it has to take effect on yourselves, on your soul, and lead you to perfection. And therefore I want to address all of you, that is why I convey My word to earth and only ever instruct you to pass it on to your fellow human beings, and again and again I make the significance, the effect of the great gift of grace, understandable to you, so that you listen to Me and thus receive strength in abundance through the conscious utilisation of My grace by listening to the word and also living it out by fulfilling My will, which I proclaim to you through My word because I love you .... And you should believe that your God and father addresses you Himself, for I want to win back My children who have been distant from Me for an infinitely long time, I want to show them the way back and also impart to them the strength to be able to walk it .... I want to receive them all into My kingdom again and prepare for them the bliss they were allowed to enjoy in the beginning .... The father wants His children back who once left Him voluntarily ....

God is eternally unchanging .... Law of order .... Love principle ....

B.D. 7920 from June 15th 1961, taken from Book No. 83

I am from eternity .... and I will be until all eternity. And My laws will also be eternally unchanging, My nature will be eternally unchanging, love will be and remain the fundamental principle of order, for love is My fundamental nature, and everything also emerged from love and must also move eternally in My order if it wants to remain united with Me for all eternity .... For what I created had a beginning but can never have an end .... In the beginning it was in My eternal order, and it also inevitably returns to the eternal order again, although in the meantime it has stepped out of this order itself .... But this state does not last forever .... Everything created returns to Me again, and this means that it is then also again in the state of eternal order in which it had emerged from Me .... It can never ever pass away again, for even in the state of distance it is held by My strength of love, which constantly flows out into infinity and ensures the existence of everything My emanating strength of love had as its reason. Everything created certainly had its beginning but will have no end .... a concept which can only be grasped by you humans in the state of perfection when your thinking will no longer be limited .... Before that you cannot grasp it, yet you should know that there will never be an end for you again. For only this realization can and will impel you to change your nature in order to spend this 'eternity' in a state of bliss, as it was your original purpose that you were able to create and work with Me and in My will in unlimited bliss. For you still moved in My eternal order, you still subordinated yourselves to My law, the principle of love was powerful in you and decisive for your bliss .... I Myself am and remain unchanging in My nature, and this also means that My laws can never change, that love is always and forever the fundamental principle, that what is perfect like Me must always and forever move in love .... which has therefore achieved deification in free will .... I indeed created beings from Myself in all perfection, and these beings were also filled by My spirit of love because I constantly illuminated them and therefore they were immeasurably blissful .... Admittedly, as divine beings I also had to give them the opportunity to freely decide to accept My strength of love .... I had to give their free will, the sign of their divine origin, the opportunity to develop, otherwise they would only have remained My 'creatures' forever but would never have been able to reach the highest perfection: to become true 'children of God' .... a work which they had to accomplish themselves, which I could not carry out on them .... And this aim of Mine in the creation of all beings resulted in the apostasy of countless beings (this free will resulted in the apostasy of countless beings) which misused their free will .... but which were nevertheless imperishable and therefore will also one day reach the aim of working and creating as My 'children' for all eternity .... I am from eternity and I will be until all eternity .... And therefore the time My beings need for the transformation into highest perfection is also irrelevant to Me .... And it would also be insignificant for the being itself if the time of distance from Me were not extremely agonizing for these beings, whose original state of light and strength and freedom was changed through their own fault into a state of darkness, powerlessness and bondage .... which truly cannot be called blissful. And for the sake of the being I seek to shorten the torment for him and help him in every way to reach his original state again .... But I cannot deviate from My law of eternal order: The love principle must prevail, the being must change to love again, it must voluntarily allow itself to be illuminated by Me, and then it will also move in the order of eternity .... it will become perfect again, as it was in the beginning, yet it then strived for this perfection of its own free will and therefore changed from My 'creature' into My 'child', which it will now also remain for all eternity ....

Disaster (nature) ....

B.D. 7921 from June 16th 1961, taken from Book No. 83

Whatever you will encounter in the last time .... is wanted or permitted by Me because it is conducive to your soul's salvation. For everything is planned in My eternal plan and nothing happens arbitrarily .... Thus you know that you are supported by Me and My love, because My love and wisdom is always decisive and therefore you can completely trust Me to guide everything through correctly, that I protectively spread My hands over you and help you in every adversity of body and soul. But don't waver in your faith .... I call out to you again and again that firm unshakeable faith in Me and My love will carry you over everything and that you can therefore look forward to what is to come without fear .... for I will obviously appear as I have proclaimed .... I will express Myself through the forces of nature and you will irrevocably approach this event because the time has come when people shall still receive a last hint of the forthcoming end .... where they shall recognize a power above themselves Which wants to express Itself in this natural event in order to cause you humans to turn towards this power and thus establish the connection with Me. But you humans cannot determine this time (this time cannot be determined for you humans) .... you can only believe that not much time will pass until I speak to you from above with a voice which you can no longer ignore .... But whether you want to acknowledge it as My voice is up to you, for even this natural event is not 'compelling to believe' .... And even then many people will still not want to recognize and acknowledge Me Myself, nor can they be given any other signs of My existence and My will, for I will never forcibly influence their faith and will, I will never forcibly break their resistance which they still oppose Me by denying everything concerning a higher being and the connection with this higher being .... But they shall recognize that it is not human will which is the cause of this unusual natural event .... they should realize that they themselves are completely powerless and therefore at the mercy of the forces of nature if they don't turn to Me with a heartfelt call for help, which then also proves their faith in Me. For this call must come from the heart or I will not be able to hear it .... You humans are close to it and you yourselves cannot avert this event, for it will come as a surprise even though it was announced to you a long time before .... It will also be inexplicable for the rational scientist, for things will happen which have never been observed before and which no-one will be able to explain. Yet the fact that I have predicted this to you shall be proof of My love as well as of the truth of My word which is sent to you from above .... It shall be proof to you that I also have the power to protect you, for you shall have living faith in Me, Who only lets everything come upon you in order to win you for eternity. For your hearts .... which belong to My own .... will rejoice and exult over the truth of what you receive out of My love and grace .... For you will know that One is with you, and you will give yourselves to this One with complete trust .... Nothing will frighten you any longer, for you know that you are united with Me and under My protection. And you should also still point to My coming wherever possible, for precisely the knowledge of this will be a great support for everyone when the day dawns which will bring a disaster upon people which, earthly speaking, is unimaginable .... For the earth will be tremendously shaken .... Everything will be thrown into disarray and no rescue can be hoped for from any earthly side. Only I will be able to help you, and I will also do so if you call upon Me, if you raise your hands to Me so that I will take hold of them and rescue you from utmost adversity .... And you should not believe that a long time will still separate you from that event .... It is close to you and there are only short hours of grace left to you which you should make good use of because you don't know the number of them .... Again and again I admonish and warn you, for My plan of salvation will be carried out as My love and wisdom recognized it to be right and successful .... And nothing can determine Me to deviate from it, because the time is fulfilled and because I truly know what still serves you, what can save you from ruin ....

Amen

You heard a voice within yourselves which you recognized as the voice of your God and creator, and through the word you gained understanding for everything, through the word you also became light, for the word was the direct emanation of My light of love from eternity. My love poured into the vessels which I created Myself because My love wanted to make you happy and thus had to find a resonance. My creatures were not dead beings .... they were beings which I had externalized as My images and to whom I gave life through My illumination of love .... And thus I also gave them the understanding for everything, brightest realization, thus light, and the possibility to be able to communicate with Me, their creator, through the word which resounded in them as My illumination of love and could be returned by them in sound .... which is now indeed to be understood spiritually, that the thoughts were recognizable to the partner and could be reciprocated by him .... In the beginning, therefore, was the word, for before I had created beings for Myself I did not need this word because there was nothing in which My strength of love could have emanated .... Hearing My word, understanding what their God and creator wanted to say to them, was an extremely happy process for the beings, for it triggered the most blissful feelings in them which now knew themselves to be united with Me and which now also reciprocated the love which flowed into these beings from Me. Hearing My word proved to them I Myself, their God and creator, the inconceivable spirit Whom they could not see and Who nevertheless revealed Himself to them .... And the 'word' was the bond between us which need never have been severed and which has provided and still provides endless bliss for the beings who have remained faithful to Me .... And the word will remain for all eternity .... For the beings created by Me can and will never pass away again, and one day every being will also be able to hear My word within itself again, as it was in the beginning, for the direct illumination of love is at the same time the sounding of My word in the being, for I will always reveal Myself as father Who wants to be in closest contact with His child and then also addresses the child again as in the beginning, because this direct exchange of thoughts between father and child is the most blissful thing a created being can imagine .... I Myself am present to every being which hears My word within itself .... And My presence must trigger bliss .... For this reason it should be striven for on earth with all one's strength, for the more intimate My living creations' relationship with Me is the sooner a child's relationship with its father will be established, and then the father will also address His child as in the beginning, and brightest realization, knowledge of everything, radiant light, will be the lot again which will make My children inconceivably happy, which will bring them the delights again which they were allowed to enjoy in the beginning .... that the being will be able to exchange itself with Me again and will now be constantly touched by My illumination of love, by My word .... that it will again be inexpressibly blissful, as it was in the beginning ....

Amen

Knowledge of God's will .... Responsibility ....

B.D. 7923 from June 19th 1961, taken from Book No. 83

I speak to you because you should know My will .... You need to be given guidelines by which you should live your life for as long as you live on earth .... Thus you must be informed of My will, and the consequences of complying or not complying with My will must also be explained to you .... you must know what I expect of you and why I expect it. And then you should act according to your free will .... that is, you either accept My will or live contrary to it, but then you must also accept the consequences of your rightly or wrongly directed will. But you are free to make your decision .... you are not forced to make this or that decision, to live your life in this or that way. Even so, you decide your fate in eternity and therefore bear great responsibility. Were the information of My will not presented to you, you could not be held to account either but you would hardly reach the goal on earth of attaining your original perfection, which you had lost because your will and activity opposed My will, because you ignored My will. For My will is nothing else but the law of eternal order, it is My will that you should integrate yourselves into this law, whose fundamental principle is love .... If you allow this fundamental principle to break through into you then you will adapt yourselves to My law of order, then you will fulfil My will, you will voluntarily subordinate yourselves to My will. If, however, you lack love, then you are outside of My law of eternal order .... then you are also outside the circuit of My flow of love, you are separated from Me, you are imperfect, because love is part of perfection, which you reject as you once did when you fell away from Me.

At the start of your human embodiment you have no knowledge, and therefore I Myself convey to you the knowledge of your relationship with Me and also that you had sinned against Me, that you had not fulfilled My will, that you had disregarded the divine principle of love and thereby left the eternal order. For this reason I inform you of My will and address you through My Word .... for this reason I require you to enter into My will, into the eternal order, and tell you to live a life according to My will .... But I do not compel you to live this way; I leave it up to your free will .... But one thing I keep preaching to you: Love .... for everything depends on your willingness to love, even your agreement to fulfil My will and to submit yourselves to the law of eternal order solely depends on your willingness to love. For that which you do as a result of love you do voluntarily. Thus 'activity of love' is My will of which I constantly inform you .... Activity of love is the law of eternal order .... activity of love is the path to reach the goal, for activity of love provides you with the strength to do what is required in order to perfect yourselves .... And therefore I will never cease informing you of My will through My Word, I will keep preaching love to you and make you aware of the benefits of a life of love .... I will always try to encourage you to subordinate yourselves to the law of eternal order, to ignite love within yourselves and fan it into a bright flame .... My Word will enlighten you as to the purpose of your earthly life, and I Myself will constantly follow you with My love so that your love for Me will be kindled, and then the principle of love will determine your whole nature, you will gain bright enlightenment, i.e., you will realise the purpose of your process across earth and the goal set for you .... This realisation will give you great joy and you will eagerly strive for perfection .... For once love has ignited in you, you will also unite with Me through love, and then you will never want to let go of Me again, and I Myself will hold you with My love, I will merge with you since it is your own free will and we will never part again, for to have entered into My eternal order means to create and be active with Me and in My will in accordance with the divine principle of love and to be eternally happy ....

Amen

Concept of time and space ....

B.D. 7924 from June 20th 1961, taken from Book No. 83

The concept of time only applies to the imperfect spiritual being which still experiences limitations of thought and which therefore is also bound to time and space, whereas the perfected spiritual being knows no boundary and past, present and future are the same concept, for the perfect being can see and experience past, present and future events at the same time and will therefore also be eternally happy because nothing exists anymore which could ever burden the being. For the expediency of everything is recognisable given that it helped the being to achieve perfection. It has been surmounted, thus it should belong to the past and yet it is vividly in the present and its effect is always apparent .... nonetheless never connected to time and space .... Being capable of understanding this is already a sign of approaching perfection .... yet not entirely comprehensible for the human being as long as he still lives on earth, as long as he is not perfect and still held captive by time and space. Concepts of eternity are therefore inconceivable for the human being; he can certainly imagine infinitely long periods of time but not fathom them rationally, just as he cannot imagine that 'time' will eventually no longer exist .... that he lives and can equally be in the past as well as in the future .... that everything that ever happened is apparent to him. Then he will, in fact, also know about a 'beginning' but this will be just as apparent to him as the attained goal of all beings which originated from God and returned to Him again. Then there can be no restriction for a being anymore, for due to its fall into the abyss the being had caused its own restriction .... A state of darkness began, followed by gaps of knowledge, of realisation .... the lack of light was of a temporary nature, because the situation of the beings changed from epoch to epoch .... And thus their place of abode also kept changing, which makes a spatial boundary understandable .... Time and space are attributes of the imperfect being, which consequently was limited in its activity precisely because it was imperfect .... in other words, it was subject to space and time, it was no longer as free as when it emerged from God .... It had put itself in chains or allowed itself to be chained by God's adversary, and determined the duration of its confined state itself .... It made itself dependent on time as long as it didn't seriously strive towards gaining perfection ....

Yet one day time and space will have been overcome, one day these concepts will no longer be applicable, because one day perfection will certainly have been attained .... And then the being will find it incomprehensible why it had kept itself at a distance from God for so long that it was restricted in every way, and then again it will be able to understand that with the Lord a thousand years are as one day, because time does not exist for Him, therefore the concept that 'God is eternal' is meaningless, for He is always in the present, the past does not exist for Him, He sees future events just as much in the present as past events .... He was and is and always will remain the primary nucleus, the vibrant source of strength, the beginning and the ending .... He was and is and remains the timeless, infinite Being Which none of His created beings will ever be able to fathom .... And no 'before' or 'after' exists for Him .... He is always in the present and this present will never end .... And every concept of time and space is only ever a characteristic of His once apostatised beings which created their own 'boundary' by reversing their nature .... which let that which is perfection become imperfect, which shaped themselves into something God-opposing .... which reversed their original state into the opposite .... And thus the apostatised beings created the law of time and space themselves in which everything of an imperfect nature has to exist, because everything imperfect moves within a certain boundary .... Only that which is perfect is unrestricted; however, everything that is subject to limitation is also imperfect, according to the law of eternity .... The being came forth from God in perfection, and neither time nor space existed for this being and it was infinitely happy. Yet its fall into the abyss created boundaries in every way which will only cease to exist when the being has shaped itself back into perfection, to its fundamental nature, to the state in which it was once created by God ....

Jesus Christ opened the gate into the kingdom of light ....

B.D. 7925 from June 23rd 1961, taken from Book No. 83

The gate into the kingdom of light and beatitude was opened for you again when the human being Jesus gave His life on the Calvary cross as redemption for humanity's guilt of sin .... The gulf between Me and you was bridged by His crucifixion, the path which led into the Father's house was clear for you again .... This act of compassion, accomplished by a human being Who had received the fullness of Myself in Himself and who therefore also had abundant strength, was unique, and will never have to be repeated again, because it was accomplished for all people past, present and future ....

The death of Jesus, the man, had been so agonising, His physical and psychological suffering so immeasurably great, that I let it suffice for Me as atonement for the immense original sin of the spiritual beings' past apostasy from Me .... that My justice, too, was thereby satisfied and that My love was therefore able to accept you again without violating the law, which even the most perfect Being has to obey otherwise its perfection would suffer a loss .... I accepted the sacrifice of Jesus, the man, and the path was open for you, My living creations, to return into your Father's house, to Me, Whom you once had voluntarily left ....

If you humans would consider the magnitude of your past guilt, if you would consider the immense suffering and torments of the human being Jesus, and if you would try to imagine the splendours in My kingdom, then you would also be able to understand how tremendously significant Jesus' act of Salvation is for you humans, and you therefore also have to profess Him otherwise you will have to stay in darkness, since otherwise the kingdom of light and bliss will remain closed to you until you acknowledge Him and consciously take His side. Only when it is explained to you that you had become sinful and what your great sin consisted of, will you be able to understand Jesus Christ's act of Salvation .... Yet you must know about it or your earthly life will have been in vain if you cross over into the kingdom of the beyond in the same darkness, if you are still burdened by the original sin which caused the deep gulf between you and Me ....

The bridge to Me was established by the human being Jesus for all of you, and you all are able to enter it .... you are able to return to Me again, yet only with Him, with Jesus, the divine Redeemer .... if you make use of the great act of mercy, if you acknowledge Him and Me Myself in Him, Who descended to earth in order to take abode in Jesus, in order to accomplish the act of Salvation Myself in Him, so that the gate to the kingdom of light is opened for you again and you will then be able to return to your Father's house ....

Your past sin of guilt has been redeemed through Jesus' crucifixion .... Yet every individual person also has to form an opinion about Him and His act of Salvation .... The bridge has been established, yet every individual person has to enter it himself and take the path to Me, Who is waiting for you on the other side of the gulf and happily wants to re-admit you into My kingdom .... Your guilt of sin is redeemed but you have to carry it under the cross yourselves, you yourselves have to want to belong to those for whom the blood of Jesus, the man, was shed .... Only then will you acknowledge Him and His act of Salvation, and only then will you consciously confess your guilt and appeal for forgiveness .... Then the divine Redeemer will have accomplished the act of mercy for you too, then His blood will have been shed for you as well and has cleansed your soul from all guilt.

And therefore you humans will receive clarification time and again as to the significance of Jesus' crucifixion for the whole of humankind; time and again you will be made aware of your immense guilt, which was immeasurable, because you once knowingly separated yourselves from Me despite brightest enlightenment and utmost perfection .... You had burdened yourselves with guilt, the magnitude of which you are unable to assess, and it truly required an immeasurably great and difficult sacrifice of atonement .... The human being Jesus offered it to Me, and for the sake of His excessive love for His fellow human beings I accepted this sacrifice and let it suffice as an expiation of guilt.

And now you will have to make use of His supreme act of love yourselves, so that your guilt of sin is redeemed, so that you don't stand in front of a closed door when, after your death, you enter into the kingdom of the beyond .... Due to His crucifixion the gates were opened again, His death on the cross brought salvation to you humans, with His blood He bought your souls back from My adversary .... And thus He truly became your Redeemer from all adversity, for He returned your life to you .... He liberated you from sin and death .... He took all your sins upon Himself and walked with them the path to the cross.

The fullness of love in Him accomplished this act, and I Myself was this love .... Your Father of eternity, He Himself has built the bridge in order to fetch you home into His kingdom .... and you all will have to enter this bridge if you want to become blessed ....

Amen

Power of faith .... False teachings .... Spiritual compulsion ....

B.D. 7926 from June 24th 1961, taken from Book No. 83

I know about every thought that moves you, I know about every question that occupies you, and I always want to give you clarification so that your thinking will be right, so that you will walk in truth:... And thus I must certainly say that I will not let a strong faith go to waste and that, in accordance with such faith, events will also approach the person who carries Me in his heart, who strives to live entirely in accordance with My will. But the fact that this faith is sometimes still bound to wrong ideas, if the human being's thinking was wrongly guided, will not cause Me to endanger My child's trust by leaving its requests unfulfilled .... Yet I will also enlighten its thinking more and more so that it will learn to recognize by itself where human statutes or wrong teachings have intruded into the truth in which the human being should live. I will never approve of error or favour it, but neither will I ever disappoint a child which faithfully asks Me .... even if his thinking still moves in wrong ideas. Yet I will never be able to convey pure truth through the inner word to those who are bound in their thinking because they were wrongly instructed .... these therefore make a direct working of My spirit impossible as long as they don't recognize the baselessness of erroneous teachings themselves and try to free themselves from it by desiring the truth from Me Myself .... which will always be questionable if they believe to possess the truth .... And now the degree of love also speaks to Me and to the neighbour how long the person moves in wrong thinking .... For love awakens the spirit to life, and this will now instruct the human being from within, i.e., it will cause him to ask questions, quiet doubts will arise in the human being's heart, he will reflect and find contradictions, and My spirit will also slowly guide him into right cognition until he then consciously turns to Me and appeals to Me for fullest clarity, for enlightened thinking, for right light .... And it will truly shine for him .... But where the influence from outside is still too strong, where the human being's own thinking and own opinion on religious teachings is forbidden, there the human being closes himself off to all knowledge as long as he does not consider that he is responsible for himself and therefore also has to make a free decision of will. From My side he will always be presented with the truth, but as soon as it contradicts the spiritual knowledge which he had hitherto considered to be the truth, the free decision will come into play .... thus a reflection on it and his own opinion on it .... which he will not be able to evade, for he must irrevocably possess the truth if he wants to be blissfully happy in the kingdom of the beyond one day, because the blissful activity in the spiritual kingdom consists of transmitting truth .... thus to pass on the light .... into the darkness .... And if he does not decide for truth on earth, then he must do so in the kingdom of the beyond .... But on earth he has far more possibilities at his disposal, on earth the truth will be conveyed to him again and again and he will only ever be required to make a free decision of will to mentally deal with all spiritual knowledge. But from My side no coercion takes place .... And thus the human being should also never be forcibly influenced .... And you humans can be certain that in all of you who feel bound by regulations .... thoughts will one day arise as to whether this 'spiritual bondage' can be My will .... You will all begin to doubt this one day, and then the hour of decision will also have come for you, when you should and can free yourselves inwardly from spiritual constraint .... when you must take responsibility for your soul's salvation yourselves, when you must put Me Myself first but then also safely reach the aim under My guidance .... All bondage is a state which does not correspond to My eternal order .... Freedom should always be striven for, only this in the right way, that I Myself am asked for help, and then your thinking will truly also be right, and you need not fear that you will fall into error from one to the other .... you will move in the light of truth, and the truth will truly set you free ....

Opposing objections .... False interpretation of the Bible ....

B.D. 7927 from June 25th 1961, taken from Book No. 83

Objections can be made to you from all sides .... you must never doubt the truth of My word, which you may receive as an unusual proof of grace for the time before the end .... For I Myself convey this word to you in order to introduce you to the truth, because you humans are still far removed from it. For you have been taught by 'people', and they will err and spread error because they have not approached the 'giver of truth' for it but again and again adopted spiritual knowledge from their fellow human beings, the origin of which, however, has not always been Me Myself. But how do you want to decide what originates from Me or My adversary? .... You yourselves cannot pass judgement without Me .... But if you approach Me for the pure truth, you will also receive it from Me. You humans are often careless in your judgment, you can no longer determine the origin yourselves, yet you unhesitatingly trust those who convey spiritual knowledge to you and portray it as truth .... And you also declare yourselves willing to accept that spiritual knowledge without taking a mental stand on it because you allegedly don't possess the capacity of judgement for it .... But on the other hand you are not afraid to deny the credibility of spiritual knowledge which is conveyed to you by your God and creator Himself .... You all have the right to examine, but do you make use of it? You also have the opportunity to make a right judgment, yet you must turn to Me as the eternal truth Itself for assistance .... Alone, out of your intellect, you are incapable of an examination, but with Me and My support you will be able to do so, for as soon as you appeal to Me for the sake of pure truth for right thinking, for enlightenment of spirit, I will truly not let you walk in error. But you, who receive My word directly from Me, can be as certain of its truth as you know that I…. your God and creator…. gave you life .... You need not doubt, nor will 'people' be able to lower such doubts into your hearts, for I Myself stand before it, I Myself am your protection, because I need you for the urgent task of still conveying My pure word to people in the last days .... For only this can bring them salvation in the spiritual adversity into which they have fallen due to misguided teachings, due to the activity of My adversary who wants to veil Me Myself and My nature so that they will not recognize Me, so that they will not strive towards Me and thus escape his control. You, My servants on earth, you will be able to refute every objection because you are only the executors of My will, because I Myself can work through you and thus will also address those through you who attack you, who want to extinguish the light which radiates through you from Me directly to earth. And you should only ever ask them whether they 'desire' the truth from the bottom of their heart .... For only then will it be expedient to hold further debates with them, otherwise every effort will be in vain to make the pure truth accessible to them as well, because then the adversary will obviously take effect who wants to attack you and make you insecure in your conviction. But you should not let yourselves be misled, you should believe that you are taught by the eternal truth Itself and that your spiritual knowledge will therefore withstand every criticism which is only exercised in full earnest. They will not succeed in uncovering an untruth or finding contradictions, for you will always be able to give them the right rejoinders, you will be able to enlighten them, and they will have to acknowledge your counter-rejoinders as well-founded and understandable to all. For you will be taught by Me Myself, you will be supported by Me Myself in every debate, I Myself will put the words into your mouth, for I truly have the power and also the will to do so, because it concerns the pure truth which you humans need and lack. But what people represent as 'truth' is not pure spiritual knowledge; it never came forth from Me as it is now presented to you humans .... It is no longer My pure word which I proclaimed Myself when I lived on earth .... And whether you also rely on the written word, you who now attack My pure word from above .... whether you entrench yourselves behind letters whose meaning you have deformed .... you will have to rethink, and then you will also recognize that I do not portray the 'written' word as wrong but only give you the right interpretation for it .... you will recognize that the book of books also contains the pure truth from Me if you only read it with an awakened spirit and are willing to let yourselves be addressed by Me Myself .... Then I will truly also instruct you in the truth, and you will have to admit that I alone can introduce you to the truth by guiding your thinking correctly and drawing your attention to the mistakes made by people and to the additional human work which was detrimental to My pure truth and led people into wrong thinking, into error. Believe that I want to convey the truth to you humans because you need it in order to become blessed .... And also believe that I have the power to carry out My will .... Believe that My love and wisdom also knows the right ways and means to bring you light into the darkness which is spread over the earth .... And do not look for your God and creator in the distance but let Him be your father, Who is present to you and constantly wants to speak to you .... And try to find understanding for the 'working of the spirit', which is only still foreign to you because you yourselves have not yet united with Me so intimately as to be able to experience My working in yourselves ....

Amen

Reason for painful strokes of fate ....

B.D. 7928 from June 26th 1961, taken from Book No. 83

I will still create many opportunities for you before the end which shall enable you to find the path to Me .... Time and again I will reveal Myself to you, though often in a painful manner, yet you shall always recognise that you are unable to determine your own destiny, you shall always recognise a Power above yourselves Which intervenes in your life, and harshly so if there is no other option, in order to pull you back from the abyss towards which you are blindly striving .... I want to save you, and all My admonitions and warnings bear no fruit .... this is why every so often I have to treat you harshly and inflict pain on you .... I have to take your most precious possession on earth away from you, I have to inflict death and disease on you, you will have to be struck by all kinds of misfortunes because you don't believe in a Power to Which you owe your life.

And there will be more and more instances when I will tear people apart, when death will come marching, when disasters will abruptly end people's lives .... I will manifestly show Myself, yet only be recognised by the willing person who will then find his way to Me and can no longer go astray .... The end is coming ever closer, and thus My love, wisdom and might will still also have to frequently intervene .... Time after time humanity has to be shown the transience of earthly things anew, they have to come to realise the triviality of their aspired goals, and as a result will often have to suffer physically and psychologically, but they shall always also receive help if they turn to Me and appeal for My support in their adversity. And their fellow human beings, too, shall consider that they could suffer the same fate and realise that they don't live on this earth for earthly life's sake ....

Every stroke of fate can result in making other people think and question whether their own way of life corresponds to God's will, if they believe in a God .... Each stroke of fate can help people to believe if they turn to Me and through My obvious help will also be able to recognise Me .... Thus you, who receive My Word, should explain to your fellow human beings My occasional interventions in people's lives which appear harsh and cruel .... explain to them that I will use all means in order to win people over for Me, and that I will not stop expressing Myself, for every misfortune is an expression of Myself which can happen to anyone yet it only ever intends to turn their thoughts into My direction .... For there is only little time left and you humans merely pay attention to the world but not to the salvation of your soul ....

The world will pass away, that is, you won't be able to take anything belonging to the world across into the kingdom of the beyond .... You only ever chase after dead commodities, and therefore you will be repeatedly made aware of the world's fleeting nature. Again and again you will hear of accidents and all kinds of disasters, again and again you will have to suffer the loss of human lives, and again and again you will ask yourselves why a God of love allows this to happen .... The God of love wants to win you for Himself, he wants to make you blissfully happy, and therefore He wants you to turn your thoughts to Him ....

My love alone is the reason for everything that affects you badly, for you will go astray again for an infinitely long time if you don't remember Me .... And only for this reason I reveal Myself to you and also intervene harshly and painfully if you ignore My loving admonitions and warnings .... For I don't want you to go astray .... I still want to save you before the end and protect you from a far worse fate .... from the new banishment into the creations of earth, which will be inevitable if you don't find Me before the end of the earth ....

Amen

Ending an earth period is imminent ....

B.D. 7929 from June 27th 1961, taken from Book No. 83

The time set for your redemption will be observed, and this means that a period of redemption will also come to an end, that a new era will begin according to the plan of eternity .... As I saw it as necessary and successful for your soul, for the development of the whole of humanity, this plan has been determined, for the spiritual low requires a new order, it requires an intervention on My part, a turning point which is only a blessing, which serves the spiritual upward development. And since eternity I have also known the time when humanity has reached this spiritual low which necessitates a change, and I will also keep to this time and carry out My plan of salvation, after all, My love and My wisdom always determine My rule and activity in the entire universe .... And thus the end of one redemption period will take place and a new one will begin again, because the process of development has to continue unstoppably, because no standstill can occur on My part and because I want to prevent an even deeper sinking of the spiritual substance which lives on earth as a human being. It is therefore certain that an epoch of development will come to an end .... It will be a spiritual turning point which, however, will also have an earthly effect, for since that which is still bound in form shall also become free and take on new forms, this will also necessitate a dissolution and reshaping of the earth's creations, so that a total reshaping of the entire earth's surface is to be expected, which will end the old period of redemption and signify the beginning of a new era of development. What has been predetermined since eternity will also come to pass on the day which has been set for it .... but the exact knowledge of the day remains hidden from you humans because it would not be helpful for the salvation of your souls if you knew about it .... But it is no longer far away .... whether you believe it or not .... the time has expired and My plan of salvation from eternity will be carried out according to My will .... The fact that you humans of the present time are destined to experience this end also has its reason, for your resistance against Me was strong and did not allow for an earlier embodiment as a human being .... But again, the same period of time was set for you since you had to end your course of development .... It is also possible for you to finish it successfully; it is still possible for all of you to find your way to Me before the end, if only you give up your resistance and turn to Me again, from Whom you once turned away in free will to your own harm .... You are still dwelling on earth; don't let the time pass by unused, for I pour out My blessings on you in abundance and truly help you in every way, because I alone know what it means for you if you fail and have to take the infinitely long path of development once again through the creations of the new earth .... Reckon with the fact that the end is very near and prepare yourselves for this end .... And truly, it will only be a blessing for you if you turn to Me and appeal for My strength and help .... You can still achieve much in a short time, you can be rid of your last form and attain full spiritual freedom .... You only need to want that you do not travel your earthly path as a human being in vain .... You only need to call upon Me, your God and father from eternity, for help and you will find Jesus .... to Him Who alone can and will redeem you. Do not let this admonition fall on your ears, take it into your hearts with the utmost seriousness and think about it .... and act before it is too late .... For no one shall be lost, I still want to help everyone before the end comes .... But it will come irrevocably, for the time has been fulfilled, the period of time has expired which was granted to the spiritual, which was to be completed in this redemption period, and a new one will begin, as and when it is intended in My plan of salvation from eternity ....

Amen

Urgency of the supply of the divine word ....

B.D. 7930 from June 28th 1961, taken from Book No. 83

To convey My word to people is extremely important, for it will cause them to enter into contact with Me as well as they will only pay attention to the word if it is conveyed to them through you. People must hear the 'word of God' .... and the will to hear Me will always be decisive as to whether they experience blessings through the transmission of My word. For if they desire it then it can also be offered to them everywhere, then I Myself will always address them because I take this desire into account. You humans must hear 'My word' .... For this will make My will known to you, and it will also provide you with the strength to live on earth in accordance with My will. And therefore I say again and again: My word with its strength is 'My flesh and My blood...' .... "You accept Me Myself when you accept My word in the desire to be addressed by Me Myself .... Then I will feed you with My flesh and blood, for I Myself am the word which became flesh in order to find access to your hearts, in order to be able to address you directly .... Again and again My love will seek access to you humans, and again and again My word will therefore sound to you through which My love expresses itself .... which is the direct emanation of love on My part .... And it will always be the same word which will not pass away, although heaven and earth will pass away .... because I Myself cannot pass away, because I Myself cannot change either and because My love will never stop giving itself away to the beings I have created for Myself in order to find vessels for My constant flow of love which I can fill .... which I can constantly make happy with My illumination of love .... As human beings you don't appreciate this immense grace of being addressed by Me, but My word must touch you, after all, My flow of love shall help you to attain the perfection you need in order to become blissfully happy .... The most delicious things are offered to you in earthly life when you experience My word, no matter in which way .... Just desire to be fed by Me Myself with the nourishment which is good for your soul's salvation, and you will receive it .... My flesh and My blood will constantly be offered to you, My word will be imparted to you, you will be allowed to receive it directly or indirectly from Me, and you will know what you were, what you are and what you shall become .... But you will also know the connection you have with Me, your God and creator, you will then also desire to be addressed by Me as your father and also be allowed to accept this address .... you will be able to satisfy your soul with My word, with My flesh and My blood, for I Myself am the word from eternity .... But in order to hear My word you must unite intimately .... And this alone is My purpose in speaking to you, that you all establish a bond with Me when My word is spoken to you .... And you do this if only you listen attentively to what I have to say to you, what I convey to you through My messengers .... Then you open your heart to My word, and then My ray of love can enter it and brightly illuminate it, then your soul can receive a healing medicine which gives it strength for your earthly task .... You must hear My word if you want to take the right path on earth which leads to Me .... for My word is the light which illuminates this path for you .... so that you will surely reach your aim ....

Amen

Willingness to work in the vineyard ....

B.D. 7931 from June 30th 1961, taken from Book No. 83

You should declare your full willingness to Me, then you will also be suitable to work for Me and My kingdom, for then you will also fulfil the orders of your lord into Whose service you voluntarily place yourselves .... But I have very different work which has to be done, and thus I will always assign the work to My servants for which they are suitable, which they are capable of doing .... And now none of My servants shall arbitrarily push himself into another job, because I alone know what work he can do for the benefit of his fellow human beings. But all My servants will feel urged to represent Me and My kingdom, to bring My gospel to their fellow human beings, that is, to convey My divine teaching of love to them, because all My servants in My vineyard know that love is the first thing, that no human being can become blessed without love .... Therefore, the work of every person who preaches love and lives out love himself will also be blessed, for he can also bestow many blessings on his fellow human beings who now try to emulate him, who make My commandments of love the guiding principle of their way of life and thus are to be valued as good fruits which have come forth from the seed which those vineyard labourers have sown in My name. And all My servants are capable of this work, and I will also supply them again and again with good seed, I Myself will proclaim My gospel of love to them again and again, they will hear My word in their hearts and cannot help but make My will known to their fellow human beings .... inspire them to constant activity in love, and thus perform successful work as servants in their lord's vineyard .... But I have other work for which I need servants who are capable of doing it .... Love will always be the most urgent commandment, and thus these labourers will also have to preach love first and therefore live in love themselves in order to be able to be true, spiritually awakened proclaimers of My teaching of love .... But they also have the task of instructing their fellow human beings .... They have the task of imparting knowledge to them which shall serve humanity to find its way out of the darkness of spirit into the light of day .... a knowledge which corresponds to truth and which therefore can only be received from Me Myself. And not many servants are qualified for this task, because special prerequisites have to be met for Me to be able to reveal Myself to them through the inner word in such a way that I Myself speak to them through the spirit .... thus teach them comprehensibly and make deepest knowledge accessible to them. The end time in which you humans find yourselves necessitates such a supply of truth, of correct knowledge, to earth, because I still want to help you humans to take the path of ascent and not head for the abyss which mercilessly opens to receive you if you don't let yourselves be guided by Me .... Those servants have a special mission to fulfil, to convey the truth to their fellow human beings, and you will understand that such a mission requires great willingness to carry out My will, a willingness to renounce everything worldly, to enter into intimate contact with Me, to always be there for Me, to put spiritual striving first and thus to accept My address at all times, which free will has to make possible again and again because no coercion is ever exerted from My side .... Hence it is an act of free will which has to be renewed again and again and therefore requires full devotion to Me, which necessitates such a mission .... but then the connection from Me to you humans has become possible, which secures the supply of pure truth for you .... You can now be instructed by Me Myself and receive knowledge which must now help you all to attain perfection if you accept and evaluate it .... if you believe in Me and learn to recognize and love Me .... whatever only the truth from Me will achieve. And for the sake of the great blessing which can arise for people from such knowledge I will also always bless My servant who thus serves Me that he only ever listens to what I say to him in order to pass it on to his fellow human beings whom I cannot address directly .... I will give him the strength to be active for Me as long as I need him for this ministry .... For it is the time of the end and everything shall still be done to save the souls from the abyss, to show them the path which leads to Me and which can only ever be the path of truth, which shines as light leading to the aim ....

Amen

Did God cause the apostasy? ....

B.D. 7932 from July 2nd 1961, taken from Book No. 83

One day you humans will understand that I Myself will never exert and never have exerted My influence over the spiritual being which I externalised as free and independent .... For as soon as I created it as a self-aware being it was also endowed with free will, and this free will was not in the slightest tied to My will, to My illumination of love or any other influence on My part .... The will was entirely free and able to decide either way. But the fact that the being possessed free will was also the guarantee that one day it would be able to change the state of a 'living creation' into the state of a 'child', which would have been unthinkable without free will. But My objective at the creation of the beings was true 'children of God' .... thus beings of supreme perfection which, however, had to attain this perfection themselves. The question will always arise in you humans as to whether the thought of apostasy was implanted by Me in these beings, as to whether they, in a manner of speaking, had to fall away, because I had set Myself this goal .... 'true children' .... when I created the beings. In that case you can also dispute the beings' free will, but this was the cause of, as well as the possibility for, the apostasy. However, I foresaw from the very beginning how My living creations would use their free will and, therefore, I was also able to recognise the justified goal in this apostasy. Yet neither the apostasy nor the goal was in any way determined by Me .... The apostasy was the result of free will and therefore did not have to happen .... The goal is the result of free will again .... It will be achieved one day but the time it takes is determined by the being .... And so it must be said that I certainly know everything, that one thing always substantiates the other and that no apostasy could have happened had I denied the being free will .... but that the goal I had in mind at the creation of all beings and which only signified supreme bliss even if it were preceded by times of immeasurable agonies, would then have become invalid .... Nevertheless, the voluntary apostasy of the beings was a transgression against Me and My love, for the being could have adapted its will to Mine, it did not have to turn away from Me and leave the law of eternal order .... And countless beings provided the evidence for this by remaining with Me and nevertheless being inconceivably happy .... These beings will also be permitted to attain the childship to God if they want to take the path through the abyss for the purpose of their fallen brothers' redemption ....

But the apostasy was not My doing, My will; yet for the sake of the highest goal I allowed it to happen and only ever emphasise again that these beings possessed absolute realisation, that they were illuminated by brightest light and that, through their wrongly inclined direction of will, they misused their freedom of will, which subsequently led to their wretched state. I did not prevent this apostasy or I Myself would not have respected their freedom of will, but this characterised the being as a divine one, because something perfect without free will was unthinkable. And once you have reached the goal of having become a true child of God, then My plan of deification will be completely understandable to you, and you will also regard the spirits' apostasy with different eyes, even though it gravely transgressed against My love. And since the law of eternal order is unchangeable, this deification could only ever proceed lawfully; it could not be attained in any other way because all divine characteristics, which I placed into the being at its creation, must be aspired to voluntarily which, due to the apostasy from Me, became a necessity but was also considerably more difficult than voluntarily remaining in the state of perfection .... The fact that the beings had fallen away and thus sinned against Me led to an extremely long state of torment .... which could never have happened had I Myself caused this apostasy in some form or other .... These beings' perfection cannot be doubted and yet they fell .... which can only ever be explained by their freedom of will, which was also a gift of grace that will never be taken away from them .... And the fallen spiritual beings' process of return also provided the non-fallen beings with the opportunity of attaining the childship to God, because they may also take the path through the 'abyss' for a redemptive mission .... that the 'apostasy from Me' is therefore not the sole prerequisite in order to attain the childship to God, but that I truly have other ways as well of shaping My created beings into My children .... Hence the apostasy was not necessary but possible on account of freedom of will. And I foresaw it from the very beginning and was therefore able to base My plan of Salvation on it, which made Me as well as My created beings extremely happy and which I will certainly achieve one day. And you, too, will one day be in the state of highest perfection and realise and understand the immeasurable love I have for all My living creations and that this love can only ever bring forth goodness and, therefore, will also help those who died of their own fault attain eternal life again ....

Amen

Address of God to anyone who desires it ....

B.D. 7933 from July 3rd 1961, taken from Book No. 83

Again and again I want to address you humans so that you will be placed into a bright spiritual state because you will be touched by a ray of light when I can convey My word to you. And thus as often as you give Me your ear and heart you shall also be allowed to hear Me, for I will never fail Myself when a child appeals to Me for My word, when a child desires to be addressed by Me Myself, because there is nothing more pleasing for Me than to be able to speak to My living creations which, through their will, enable Me to speak to them. And it will always be the purpose and aim of My speech to thereby intimately bind you to Me .... You will always be allowed to experience My love through My word, and My love will also awaken love in you again, and only then will you be guaranteed a life of bliss which awaits you when you enter the spiritual kingdom. For your life on earth is only a temporary state which truly cannot be called blissful, because you are still afflicted by many weaknesses and faults and thereby also exposed to suffering and worries which will burden you for as long as you are still far away from Me, as you are still imperfect .... But the purpose and aim of your earthly life is a transformation of your nature, a change back to love, which initially filled your whole being and therefore you were also blissfully happy .... And you shall again attain a blissful life in light and strength and freedom. You therefore only travel the path on earth as a human being in order to accomplish this change back to love, and I therefore speak to you again and again so that you remember your purpose of earthly life and now also live accordingly .... so that you strive towards Me again, let yourselves be permeated by Me with My strength of love and thus perfect yourselves in earthly life .... And if you now allow Me to speak to you, the guarantee is also given that you will mature on this earth .... for anyone who comes into direct contact with Me, who listens to My word, receives it in his heart and now lives accordingly, already consciously walks the last short stretch of the way, and he will soon have overcome, he will consciously walk the path to Me and also safely reach the aim: the final union with Me .... And since the return to Me is My everlasting plan, will remain My constant activity and My everlasting care, I will also constantly address My children who want to open themselves to Me and let themselves be illuminated by My love .... I will never leave a child without an answer when it listens within itself for My voice .... I will always speak so that it can hear Me, I will always let the living water flow out of the spring, My word will resound to anyone who desires to be addressed by Me, be it directly or through My messengers, for I want to make every person happy who opens his heart to Me so that I fill it with My love, with My spirit, which flows into every heart that shows love to Me .... And as soon as the human being desires to be addressed by Me he also demonstrates his love for Me, for he only wants to possess what the human being loves .... And I will truly always distribute abundantly, I will not give to you humans meagrely, and again and again you will be allowed to receive the evidence of My love: I will speak to you through human mouths, which only serve as mouthpieces when I cannot address you directly Myself .... But believe that My word applies to all of you .... believe that I will not leave out anyone who desires to hear Me, and believe that I will also find you and convey My word to you, for I know My own, I know their hearts' desires, and I will consider them all according to their desire ....

Amen

God - Love - Truth are one ....

B.D. 7934 from July 4th 1961, taken from Book No. 83

I want to take you all into My school, I Myself want to instruct you, you shall receive clarification from Me so that you can also be certain that the truth will be presented to you. But this always necessitates your free will, it necessitates your desire for the truth .... The fact that I keep mentioning the same is only intended to prove to you the importance of your having to desire the truth. I cannot convey it to you without your desire, that is, you will not be able to recognize it as 'truth' until you are filled with desire for it, because this is also part of My law of eternal order, that I will not make your will unfree, but this would be the case if you were forcibly led to the truth without feeling the slightest desire for it yourselves. And the desire must therefore be within you, because such desire also includes your desire to draw closer to Me Myself. Whatever you desire you also try to join, and the union with Me is the aim you should reach in earthly life. Yet only few people inwardly consider whether they really live in truth, whether the spiritual knowledge they were taught in the traditional way really corresponds to the truth. And in the same way only few people seriously strive for unification with Me, and this in turn makes the supply of truth necessary .... But it is the last time before the end .... People no longer change, i.e. they themselves no longer strive for change .... Therefore I nevertheless bring the truth closer to them and try everything to occupy their thoughts, to stimulate them to think about where the pure truth can be found .... I address people through My messengers who bring them My word on My behalf .... I try to win them all as My disciples who gladly and willingly allow themselves to be taught by Me. And once they have listened to Me they will also noticeably feel the strength of My word and no longer want to do without it .... And then they will also be willing to listen to Me, to receive the truth from Me, and then they will also receive the blessing of truth, for it leads to Me because it originated from Me Myself. For truth and I are one .... But love and I are also one .... Therefore, love must also be where truth is to enter, for one cannot be thought of without the other .... For love is the fire which radiates the light .... And "light" is: recognizing the truth, light is "wisdom from God" .... Where love prevails, error will never be able to prevail, for the light of love exposes error .... Where love is, I Myself am as eternal love, and where I Am, only truth can take hold .... And if you desire truth then you desire Me Myself, and then you will also always be active in love, because then you will be in the same element from which you were created, for you once emerged from My love, and you were permeated by My love and stood in brightest light .... You recognized the truth .... Due to your apostasy from Me you also lost your knowledge, you no longer recognized the truth as such and fell prey to error, as My adversary's share. Yet I call to you again and again: Come to Me and let Me teach you, so that you will walk in truth again and now also take the right path which will lead you to the aim. Truth alone illuminates the path for you, and therefore I also want to give you the light, because there is not much time left and you should still perfect yourselves in earthly life and can do so if the light shines from Me, if you let yourselves be taught by Me Myself, if you listen to Me Myself when My word sounds to you through My messengers. Again and again I guide the truth down to earth because every error means danger for you. But whether you accept the truth from Me is determined by your free will. But again and again I enlighten you as to the consequences for you if you don't pay attention to the pure truth from Me, if you are satisfied with spiritual knowledge whose origin you are unable to ascertain. Always remember that the adversary has great power before the end and that he truly also uses this power, for you grant him the power yourselves instead of keeping away from him and striving towards Me Myself through will and deed .... For this reason I can only ever warn and admonish you but not compulsorily direct your will so that it strives towards Me Myself. For this reason I can certainly offer you the truth but I cannot force you to accept it .... For you must make the final decision yourselves, and you will not have much time left to do so ....

Amen

You humans are approaching the end ....

B.D. 7935 from July 5th 1961, taken from Book No. 83

A period of Salvation comes to an end, for the time is fulfilled .... My plan of Salvation has been predetermined for eternity and will be carried out as decided by My love and wisdom. However, you humans cannot judge what the conclusion of an epoch of Salvation means, for you will never be able to envisage that a transformation on this earth will take place which will destroy all creatures, in which all living beings, all life, will be dissolved and wiped out .... As no parallel has ever been experienced by humanity before, it does not believe that the earth is approaching its end. You humans are facing inconceivable happenings but you will not attach the right significance to any of them since you are ignorant of the seriousness of your situation .... You are approaching the end .... What you see around yourselves, what exists and can be perceived by you, will cease to exist .... Everything will be destroyed, and even you yourselves will fall prey to this destruction if you do not belong to My Own, whom My power and My will shall lead away, as I have proclaimed .... whom I will lift up to heaven before the eyes of their fellow human beings because they belong to Me and I can and want to transfer them to the new earth once the work of transformation has taken place. The time is fulfilled .... For the duration of every period of Salvation is limited, even if it is so infinitely long that you humans no longer know its beginning and thus also deem an end impossible .... The fact that you now have to experience this end is only based on your own will, on your soul's past and present opposition towards Me, otherwise it would be unable to go astray, that is, it would not have to fear the banishment into matter, into the creations of the new earth.

Only your resistance determines your destiny, your fate after the end of this earth, for as soon as you abandon it you will turn to Me and then you will also belong to My Own, whom I want to save before the end arrives. Everything related to an 'end of the old earth' is incomprehensible to those of you who have no spiritual bond whatsoever, and you will never believe that the time has come when every individual person has to make a decision for life or death .... You will have to make the decision; no-one can be spared from it. And you should not assume that you are safe, that the end of this 'creation work earth' is yet to take a long time .... The end will come sooner than you think .... precisely because the time is fulfilled. And I Myself Am steadfast in My Nature, I Am steadfast in My reign and activity, and I Am steadfast in My Word. And so, what I have told you must also come to pass, that My plan will be implemented when the time has come .... And the fact that it has come can be seen by the many signs which I brought to your attention, which I pointed out every time I mentioned the end of this earth .... He who has ears to hear, let him hear .... He who has eyes to see, let him see .... But you humans do not want to hear and see. And thus I cannot reveal Myself more plainly in order to compel you into believing. But My warnings will not stop until the day has come. And blessed are those who believe My Word, who live their life in accordance with this belief and unite themselves with Me in love and trust .... For they will be saved for time and eternity, I will take care of them in every earthly and spiritual adversity, and never again will they have to fear an end because I will remove them before the hour of horror and will indeed allow them to observe the process of destruction, but only in order to let them recognise My might and magnificence and to testify to them on the new earth, where all suffering will be over and where they will be allowed to experience the happiness of paradise. The time is fulfilled, and it will come to pass as it has been proclaimed, for My Word is and forever will remain truth ....

Amen

Free will must accept the light ....

B.D. 7936 from July 6th 1961, taken from Book No. 83

I want to bring you light because you are living in darkness .... I want to lead you out of the darkness of night into the light of day, I want to enlighten your spirit and illuminate you with My light of love, I want to make you happy because you are miserable in your spiritual darkness. I want the sun of My spirit to shine upon you .... I want to give you that which you are lacking: the pure truth from God .... I Myself want to teach you, for then the darkness in you can no longer reign, then the light of My love will radiate into your hearts and make you blissfully happy, for then you will no longer repel Me, as you did when you fell away from Me, but listen to Me once again and accept the light of My love, as it was in the beginning .... The fact that you humans are lacking light cannot be denied by you, for you have no idea about the meaning and purpose of your existence, about the reason for your earthly progress, about the meaning and purpose of any work of creation .... you have no knowledge about the correlations and especially not about your relationship with your God and Creator .... You don't recognise your Father in Me and are unaware of the goal that you ought to unite with Me as your Father of eternity in order to be eternally happy again, as you were in the beginning. All this is unknown to you and neither do you question it, and thus you live in darkness and don't look for the light .... but this state is a wretched one for you, because darkness also amounts to death, only light is really life .... But I want to awaken you to life from your lifeless state and therefore I bring you the light. And trust Me, this light will make you happy, you will be glad when you know about everything and can live your earthly life consciously because you want to reach the goal which comprises eternal beatitude. I do not want you to continue your life on earth in this dark state nor do I want you to take notice of the deceptive lights which neither spiritually enlighten you nor give you bliss ....

I want to give you true light, knowledge which corresponds to the truth and which must originate from Me because only I Am the primary source of truth, because I Am the light of eternity. You humans are My creatures and therefore possess My love because you emerged from My love. But I always want to give pleasure to that which belongs to Me .... Darkness is not a blessed state, only light can give joy to the being, and I want to give this gift to you. Yet I can only ever just offer you My gift of love .... and then your free will must be willing to accept this gift .... I can and want to do whatever it takes in order to return you to a state of happiness but one thing I Am unable to do is to give you against your will that which you need to be happy. I can certainly offer you light but I cannot force you to accept it and to let it shine into your hearts .... You must open your heart to Me and allow the ray of My light of love to enter it, then everything will become bright and clear within you and you will be happy .... And since your free will is the only decisive factor as to whether you move in the darkness of night or in the light of day, I can only ever enlighten you of the fact that this free will determines your destiny, your fate, in eternity .... that you have to direct your free will towards Me by relinquishing your opposition and strive towards Me with all your mind .... And you will be brightly illuminated by My divine light of love, then you will receive the kind of knowledge which will bring you joy, for you will realise all correlations and find out about your origin, about your process across the earth and your goal .... And as soon as you become enlightened you will also find the path which leads to Me .... And you will walk it of your own volition in order to reach Me, because in the light of truth you finally recognise Me Myself, because then you will love Me too and aim to join Me forever .... And I will never ever let go of you again, for My love brought you into existence and My love will pursue you until you have become My Own eternally ....

Amen

Walk of the angels through the depth ....

B.D. 7937 from July 7th 1961, taken from Book No. 83

My angels, too, must walk the path through the depths if they want to reach the highest degree of perfection .... the childship of God .... Such a 'depth' will still be present for eternal times, for the process of returning the spiritual substance, which once left Me of its own free will, will still take eternal times .... And again and again I will need helpers from the kingdom of light to assist people on earth in their last test of will. And this necessitates an embodiment in the flesh on this earth which always means a path through 'the abyss' for the spiritual being. I have known since eternity which path My living creations chose; I knew that they would fall away from Me; yet I also know how to correct everything wrong so that order will always be restored again, and I also know how to positively correct the effect of every direction of will, for truly nothing is impossible for Me, and My wisdom recognizes everything, and love always works for the best of all living creations, of everything that has emerged from My hand. Time is irrelevant to Me, for a thousand years are like a day to Me .... but I know that one day all that has come forth from Me will be incomparably blissful .... I know that nothing is impossible for Me and that I will therefore be able to make all beings happy with My love and that this happiness will have no limits. And the beings which have remained faithful to Me will always help Me to do so, because thereby they will also be able to increase their own beatitude ever more and carry out extremely beneficial work in the abyss, which can only be carried out by angelic beings, when again and again people will be in a stage where My adversary is exceedingly effective .... when people are facing the end of a redemption period, which will occur again and again as soon as the time is fulfilled .... My plan of salvation is so immense that it can only be revealed to you humans in the smallest measure, and it encompasses eternities .... ever new eras of redemption are envisaged in it, ever new embodiments of the once fallen original spirits as human beings will take place in these eras .... the kingdom of light will always receive returned beings whom I will be able to draw to My heart as My children .... But again and again beings will also have to start the cycle of their development anew if they fail in the stage as a human being .... And therefore I also need spiritual help on this earth again and again, who serve as mediators between Me and people and who are willing to carry out a redeeming activity on earth .... And again and again beings of light, angels who once remained faithful to Me, offer themselves for this activity, who want to walk the path across earth for love of the fallen and who can also achieve the childship to God through their missionary path. But time is indifferent because the perfect knows no concept of time .... And the spiritual being which places itself under My will will always be infinitely happy and therefore always willing to help with the work of salvation for the fallen spiritual being, which also already lasts eternities and will still require eternities .... but which you humans can never overlook, neither in terms of space nor time .... Once the working and activity of your God and creator will be revealed to you .... I reveal Myself to you again and again because you are a part of Me and should know about My overwhelming love for you, which is the reason for your being and which applies to you for all eternity .... I want to reveal to you what is possible for you to grasp, and I always want to tell you that I do not want to be and remain the distant God and creator for you but want to be recognized by you as the most loving father, Whom you strive for with all your senses and with all your strength .... For I want to be united with you for all eternity, because you came forth from Me and My love and this love of Mine for you will never end .... And everything that strives towards Me will be allowed to experience My love .... it will be immeasurably happy again, as it was in the beginning ....

Unchanged Word .... Important missionary work ....

B.D. 7938 from July 8th 1961, taken from Book No. 83

You should steadfastly continue on the path you have taken when you offered your service to Me .... You should only ever listen to the instructions given to you by the custodian of the house, for it is necessary to rescue the souls which are at great risk, since the end is approaching .... And thus you should listen to Me, you should only ever give Me the opportunity to speak to you, for you must know what My will consists of because you should live your life accordingly. And you should believe the information revealed to you through My Word .... I want to address all people through My servants on Earth who enable Me to speak through them. And you should always regard them as My messengers who proclaim the will of their Lord to you, who ask you to prepare yourselves and provide Me with an abode which serves Me well when I Myself come knocking at the door of your heart in order to enter it .... And I will truly bless those of you who are of service to Me by allowing Me to speak through you .... This voluntarily accepted task of yours, your mission, is very important, and you will indeed finish it in accordance with My will, for time and again I convey strength to you and always show you the ways which enable you to successfully work in My vineyard .... Time after time I repel My adversary from you, who will not cease in his attempts of extinguishing the light where it was kindled by My love .... Yet he will not succeed, for you are surrounded by spiritual guardians which weaken his activity. And you can safely continue with your vineyard work by serving Me as a vessel for the spirit into which I Am able to flow .... so that My Word can be transmitted to Earth and made accessible to people of good will. And anyone who is thus directly addressed by Me need not fear that his work will be in vain, that My Word will not serve its right purpose, that the 'living water' might run dry without having served the human being with its inherent benefit .... to purify the soul and to strengthen it for its pilgrimage on this earth .... My Word will prevail, for it is strength and light in itself .... and My Word will truly not fail to have the desired effect ....' My Word', only that which comes forth from Me, has and will keep this strength. However, as soon as it is changed through human will it will lose its strength and then it can never be considered to be My Word .... This is aimed at all those of you who arbitrarily try to improve My Word and thus change it .... For that which originates from Me does not require any improvement, it can thereby only lose value, and for this you, who make such corrections, will have to justify yourselves, because you are as yet unable to appreciate the grace of a direct Word-reception.

However, those of you who are of service to Me and therefore accept My Word, don't let yourselves be misled but continue to work according to My will .... Allow Me to speak through you, for the human race needs My Word, it suffers great spiritual adversity; it needs an unusual gift of strength, it needs extraordinary signs and the evidence of My love, it needs to be strengthened in its faith, which is still weak .... Humanity needs My Word, and since I cannot manifest Myself openly on account of their freedom of will, I need you to serve Me as a mouthpiece so that you give Me the opportunity to speak to all people .... For I still want to rescue many people before the end, I still want many people to receive My Word which is blessed with My strength .... Therefore leave all your problems to Me, be they of an earthly or spiritual kind .... And keep working for Me and My kingdom, be faithful servants to Me who fulfil the will of their Lord and I will bless your work ....

Amen

Water contamination warning ....

B.D. 7939 from July 9th 1961, taken from Book No. 83

The slightest turbidity of the spring water clearly flowing out from Me can also cancel its healing power, it can make the water unfit for consumption, it can even endanger a human life if poisonous substances are added to the water, for even the smallest amount is then enough to trigger a devastating effect, which you are all well aware of. And this example should always make you think why I admonish you to draw the water of life from the spring, why I emphasize again and again that you should bend down and draw water where I have opened up a spring from which the living water flows .... You should not believe that all water has the same healing power .... that every word has the same effect on your souls when it has already been deformed by human additions .... when it can no longer be regarded as 'My word' because it has undergone a change, because it is no longer the same that flowed from 'the source'. And it may not have undergone a change in meaning, but it is human spiritual knowledge at the same moment as it was changed by human beings ..... And then you can no longer speak of a divine revelation in which you yourselves do not believe, otherwise you would not presume to change it .... Accept My gift of grace at the source and know that you will then offer your soul a true refreshment, that you will help your soul to recover, that you can now also continue your pilgrimage on earth strengthened and that you will reach the aim, because with divine strength you will also be able to master the most difficult ascent and need not fear becoming weak and sinking down .... My water of life will refresh you again and again as soon as you desire it and sincerely ask Me for it. And your soul constantly needs food and drink as long as it stays on earth .... It constantly needs My help, for it enters this earth in a weakened state and shall be able to enter the kingdom of the beyond in a mature state when its earthly existence is over. And this earthly progress requires the supply of food and drink .... which signifies the offering of My word to it…. And therefore I will always be ready to administer this food to it, I will always supply the soul with My word and only require that it willingly listens to Me, that it thus goes to the spring and draws from this source, that it drinks the living water which supplies it with everything it needs to mature, to become healthy. For whatever comes forth from Me must possess this strength, because I am the source of strength from eternity, from Whom all life emerged and from Whom all life is also sustained, as it is My will .... And therefore you should all seek out the source which is close to you .... you shall only turn to Me Myself and desire from Me the water of life .... And I will let it flow to each one of you, I will truly not leave out anyone who thirsts for it. And you will not need to make use of a substitute, the 'source' will always be at your disposal, Which is accessible to everyone who needs strength for his soul, who wants to let Me Myself speak to him and who therefore always draws 'from the source' and need not fear any additional human work if I Myself can speak to him .... directly or through My messengers, who present him with the living water as it flows from the source .... I have blessed My word with My strength, and you should all make use of this strength, because only the strength of My word helps your soul to mature and therefore I have made the source accessible to you from which the living water flows ....

Amen

Man's conscious approach to God ....

B.D. 7940 from July 11th 1961, taken from Book No. 83

And I will be your companion in all your ways .... I will guide you, I will walk beside you, I will instruct you and advise you and make My will known to you .... and if you fulfil this will of Mine you will also successfully complete your earthly path of life .... You will have reached the aim of being eternally united with Me and now be able to work in freedom, light and strength .... Thus I Myself want to be your companion, then I will also always be able to ward off My adversary from you who will not stop harassing you, and this the more the closer the end is. And therefore I inform you again and again through the word that you are in danger as long as you don't let Me Myself walk next to you through your free will to be united with Me. You live your earthly life and don't know that an everlasting battle is being waged around you in the spiritual world which applies to your soul .... And you don't know that there is a continuous struggle for your soul on the part of the world of light and the dark world. Both forces want to win you over, and you yourselves make the final decision as to which forces will gain victory over you .... You yourselves determine in which sphere you want to dwell, and you determine this through your will, which is turned towards or away from Me. And truly, only a brief thought is enough for you to call Me to your side and I will not leave you and protect you from further influence by My adversary and his helpers. Just let Me always walk by your side and your pilgrimage on earth will be blessed .... It is only a matter of your conscious approach to Me in earthly life. If you achieve this of your own free will, you will also have passed your test of earthly life, for the purpose of which you were allowed to embody yourselves on earth. Yet I cannot force you to turn to Me either, I can only ever try to draw you to Myself through loving words, I can only ever approach you, force Myself into your thoughts and fatefully intervene in your life .... But I always have to leave the effect to yourselves. You must decide for yourselves in free will .... You must grasp My hand yourselves and want Me to be with you and no longer leave you .... But this will also decides your fate in eternity. But all of you humans don't have much time left .... the end is near and you will all be taken by surprise, and your fate will now also be according to your attitude towards Me, which is why I admonish you again and again to seek the bond with your God and creator of eternity, to draw close to Him like a child draws close to its father, and now also to stand under My protection until the end has come. Precisely the time of the end prompts Me to repeatedly make My will known to you, which will always remain the same: that you live in love, because then you will establish the most secure bond with Me, Who am love Myself .... work in love and remain in constant prayer .... And you will draw Me to you and I will never leave you again forever .... For I Myself am love, and he who abides in love abides in Me and I in him .... And intimate prayer likewise unites the child with the father and enables My strength to overflow to always carry out My will .... And if you are united with Me then you no longer need to fear anything .... neither My adversary nor the coming end, for then you belong to My own who will stand firm until the end and whom I will protect in physical and spiritual adversity .... You need only give your will to Me, subordinate it to Mine and let your thoughts wander into spiritual spheres from time to time .... And My love will take hold of you and guide you until the end of your life .... I will walk beside you, you will no longer be lonely and abandoned .... Then you will walk by My hand and return home to the fatherland ....

Amen

Blessing of spiritual exchange ....

B.D. 7941 from July 14th 1961, taken from Book No. 83

In every school of thought you will find people who strive for the pure truth. And bringing them My word signifies the fulfilment of their desire, for as soon as they are serious in their search for truth they will also recognize it in the word which is conveyed to you from above .... which proves and testifies to Me Myself. And I Myself will guide you, My servants, so that you will meet them. I Myself open the doors for you through which you can enter and offer the delicious gift of your lord. And they will listen to you, for they will accept everything into their hearts, because their thoughts are also rightly directed through their desire for truth, because they recognize and are willing to accept .... Therefore you should speak everywhere if you feel the inner urge to do so, for you hear My instructions within yourselves and I truly know which hearts open themselves to My word .... I truly know where souls can still be won for Me and My kingdom .... But you should restrain yourselves where you inwardly feel resistance, for all efforts of love are in vain there because they are still under My adversary's control and are not willing to withdraw from this control. As long as you receive My word directly .... even if it is sent to you through messengers .... I speak to you humans, and then you also have the duty to inform your fellow human beings of what makes you happy yourselves and to leave it up to them whether they also want to be made happy. And depending on your suitability for vineyard work you will be brought together with people whom I also want to redeem, to whom I also want to send the truth. This is why spiritual conversations will always be blessed which result in the human being's thoughts being occupied with the world which he cannot see and grasp. And the further direction of thought will also be according to his will, according to his will he will be processed by good or evil spiritual forces .... but always protected from the latter if he keeps to My word .... if he is of good will. I need mediators on earth where I Myself cannot yet address people. For people need My word, and you often find access to people's hearts more easily because they always feel a certain freedom to be able to defend themselves against a human statement if they don't like it, and then a change of thinking can nevertheless be achieved through speech and counter-speech. For My word does not compel acceptance as long as they regard it as a human being's statement, and yet it will not remain without effect as soon as the human being strives for truthful knowledge. However, the indifferent human being will always let My word fall on his ears, and he must remain in his lightless state until he thinks better of it. And you humans can believe that I will not pass any of you by, that I want to speak to all of you one day and that this will also happen one day. It is just that My address will also touch you painfully at times when I have to replace My word with strokes of fate because you pay no attention to the former. Then I have to touch you harshly, but you should be able to recognize the power of a God and creator in order to turn to Me .... I only require your living thoughts of Me and then I will also reveal Myself to you in whatever way it may be .... And this is the only thing I want to achieve, that you humans in spiritual exchange let Me Myself be in your midst, that you truly express your thoughts .... that not only your mouth utters the word 'God' .... Then I can be in your midst and address you Myself through those who let Me speak through them, who serve Me as an instrument, that they are merely a form through which I Myself speak to you. Just try to understand that I want to make contact with each one of you but that I need your free will to do so, because I don't use coercion and you have the freedom to accept or reject Me and My word. Yet don't resist, and you will truly experience the blessing which a connection with Me, your God and creator, has to result in .... For every person is considered according to his will .... And whoever wants to attain the truth will be supplied with it, for he will then desire Me, Who is the eternal truth .... And if you then want Me to address you Myself, then you will also recognize the father's voice. You will feel directly addressed by Me and My words will penetrate your hearts, and then you will know that you are united with Me .... that I Myself reveal Myself to you .... And you can now also remain in this certainty that I always speak to you when you intimately unite with Me and desire My address ....

Amen

Origin of the creation work 'earth' ....

B.D. 7942 from July 15th 1961, taken from Book No. 83

The path of the spirits across the earth will extend into eternity .... For the spirits themselves became the matter which earth and all its creations consist of .... God's will turned solidified spiritual substance into matter, thus the whole of the creation work earth .... as well as all creations in the entire universe .... is God's once emanated strength which He externalised as a 'being' but which so changed itself that it finally became mere hardened substance, which was then transformed into creations of all kinds.

This took place over an infinitely long period of time, because the 'transformation' also occurred in lawful order, the rise of what is now visible as 'inhabited earth' happened during countless phases of development .... it was not an instantly externalised work of God's creative power .... since even the slow development served its purpose .... Time and again minutely disintegrated spiritual particles were captured and reshaped, the process took an inconceivably long time before earth had formed itself into a work of creation which could serve as an abode and sustain physical life for the constantly maturing spiritual substance, as it was designated by God's eternal plan of Salvation. And even this spiritual substance took an endless time before it reached the degree when it was allowed to live as a human being on earth for the purpose of its final perfection.

This last earthly progress as a human being is but a moment in time compared with the infinitely long period of the earth's preliminary development .... Although the creation of every form was indeed the work of an instant for God, because His will and His strength externalised every thought as an existing work .... yet the resistance of the once fallen spirits determined the length of time until their physical transformation. For God did not force this spiritual substance but His strength of love captured it until its resistance had somewhat subsided in order to then encase it in accordance with His plan, to then shape it into various forms where it would perform some kind of activity which was so minimal that, again, an infinitely long time passed before these forms could gradually disintegrate and change ....

The development of earth took ages until it could be inhabited by living beings, and these, in turn, prepared the earth for yet another inconceivably long time to become suitable for serving human beings as a last place of development .... The tiny individual particles of the human soul, however, had passed through all creations .... The fall from the highest pinnacle into the abyss had taken so long that thus an equally long time had been necessary to ascend from the abyss to the point when the being could receive its self-awareness again, that this final perfection then made it possible to travel the last path of ascent. But for the time being the creation had emerged, and this incorporates the innumerable fallen spirits whose return to God will subsequently also take an infinitely long time, hence an end of creation cannot be foreseen as yet ....

Nevertheless, the 'creations' exist and everything will take its lawful course .... They are brought to life by ever new minute particles of spirit whose higher development takes place by way of constantly changing their outer form, and thus a continuous developing and disintegrating of every material creation can be observed .... All works of creation repeatedly renew themselves in this manner and thus serve the inherent spirit to achieve maturity, just as they serve humanity's continued development by safeguarding their physical life an earth. As long as the spirits bound in the creations do not have free will their path of higher development proceeds in accordance with God's will .... the constrained spiritual substance serves in some form or other and thereby matures gradually .... But as soon as the spirit lives on earth as a human being it is once again in possession of free will and then it is able .... instead of continuing to ascend .... to stop its development or to regress again. During the final period of its process of development it is able to fail .... And this regression can lead to the result that the spirit in the human being .... the 'soul' or the once 'fallen original spirit' .... will harden again as before. The outcome will be a disintegration of the soul into countless minute particles again which will have to take the path through the material creations once more .... And this process, which has now become necessary again, also requires the disintegration and transformation of all works of creation .... which can be described as the end of one earthly period and the start of a new one.

And thus you humans should try to explain it to yourselves, that such periodically enforced processes of transformation concerning the creation work earth will take place in accordance with God's will. They are always based on God's love and wisdom and only ever serve the redemption of the once fallen spirits .... And you need to also be prepared for such interventions by God when people no longer recognise the true purpose of their existence, when they thus do not use their earthly life for the maturing of their souls, for their final perfection. For the sole purpose of every work of creation is to bring the human soul into maturity, to help it become what it once was in the beginning .... a supremely perfect being, which originated from God's love but voluntarily apostatised from Him .... It shall return to Him again, and God Himself has provided it with the path of return through all the creations on earth ....

Amen

Peace in God .... Power supply ....

B.D. 7943 from July 16th 1961, taken from Book No. 83

Enter into intimate contact with Me and you will find the peace which the world cannot give you .... As soon as you allow My presence by intimately praying to Me, the sphere around you will also be purified, for the unspiritual flees the light, and light is within you when I am with you. The bond with Me is truly an act which you accomplish yourselves and which is also associated with visible blessings .... And even if your body does not feel this, your soul does, which ascends step by step and matures until perfection. You truly can do nothing better than to let your thoughts wander to Me again and again .... again and again to send a silent prayer to Me and thus express your love which fills you otherwise you would not seek My presence, otherwise you would keep your distance from Me and your thoughts would be turned towards the world. But as soon as you establish the bond with Me through intimate thoughts you also draw Me to yourselves, for these thoughts affect Me because they are spirit and life if they apply to Me .... And you have now inwardly made a confession to Me .... you acknowledge Me again, as you once refused to acknowledge Me. But this apostasy from Me did not bring you beatitude. And you are and remain wretched as long as you remain distant from Me by virtue of your free will. But the fact that the return to Me, the intimate bond of free will, will also bring you beatitude is only understandable, and therefore I say to you that you will find the peace which the world cannot give you .... The peace of the soul lets the human being endure all physical adversity, he hardly feels it and is harmonious in his thoughts and actions, for he lives in peace with Me, he is no longer My adversary, he is in intimate bond with Me; he sees in Me the friend, the brother, the father .... And he thus knows himself to be in faithful guard, he no longer needs to fear the world and nothing that still belongs to the world .... And his earthly life is now only a time of purification for his soul, which shall enter the kingdom of the beyond clearly and without slag when its hour has come to leave the body and return to Me in its father's house. And truly, you will succeed in purifying your soul quickly and well if you repeatedly take refuge in Me, if you don't leave Me out of your thoughts .... If you want Me to be present to you and earnestly seek My nearness in heartfelt prayer, then I will truly let Myself be found, for I Myself want to be united with My children, I Myself want to reveal Myself to them, which is only ever possible if a person induces Me to be present through silent, heartfelt prayer. You can achieve much through your mental dwelling with Me, your God and father of eternity, for although you do not address any requests to Me you will nevertheless be able to receive an abundance of strength which you also need for your pilgrimage on this earth. Again and again your tempter will approach you and want to turn you away from Me. But if you possess strength from Me you will be able to push him away from you and he will no longer have any power, for he will have to give way to My strength and leave you .... And therefore don't miss any opportunity which earns you a supply of strength .... Join with Me again and again and long for My presence .... Always remain united with Me in thought .... Only want to be and remain Mine, and this will will be blessed. You will achieve what you strive for; you will receive what you ask for; I will always be close to you and guide you, and you can now walk all paths without hesitation. As long as you let Me walk by your side through your thoughts and intentions you are in good hands and you will safely reach your aim. The bond with Me will become ever more intimate until one day you will be merged with Me and remain with Me for all eternity ....

Amen

Coming in the clouds ....

B.D. 7944 from July 18th 1961, taken from Book No. 83

You all should know that I will return in the clouds .... that I will descend to earth in the same way as I once ascended to heaven .... that My Own will see Me in brilliance and glory, just as My disciples once saw Me, and that I will take My Own from earth because the day of the end has come .... Admittedly, prior to that I already descended to earth in the Word, for I Am the Word Myself, and have given you the promise that I will stay with you until the end of the world .... but My obvious appearance will not happen yet, for it will constitute the end of one and the beginning of a new earthly period ....

My coming in the clouds has to be understood literally, yet only few will see Me, for My flock is small and only My Own will be able to endure seeing Me, I will only be visible to My Own and allow them to behold My might and glory .... And this shall be your hope in hours of hardship and affliction by hostile powers to God .... for in the end everything will be hostile to God, the rulers and their followers, the people who take their side in the battle of faith. They all will take action against you, who want to remain loyal to Me and persevere to the end .... They will put you under great pressure and then you shall hope for My coming, for I will not leave you in distress of body and soul, I will save you and lift you to a place of peace, and your faith will be so strong that I will be able to show Myself when I come in the clouds in order to judge the living and the dead .... Then the great separation of the spirits will take place and My adversary will no longer have control over you .... For he and his adherents will be bound for a long time. Only few people sincerely believe that My return is imminent .... But the time is fulfilled and I no longer say: I will come when the time is fulfilled, but I say: the time is fulfilled .... You can only count on a very short time, on just a few days, compared to the long period of time that has passed since an 'end' was prophesied. You are living in the last days even if you refuse to believe it ....

My coming is soon about to happen to you .... Hence take care that you, too, belong to the chosen ones who will experience My coming while still in the flesh, who may behold Me in all My radiance and glory, whom I will lift to heaven just before the end .... Just want to belong to them and, truly, I will give you the strength to turn your will into action. Let Me speak to you time and again and always strive to accept My will and you will establish a connection with Me, you will join Me and also be counted as My Own whom I will rescue before the end happens. For it is certain that I will come Myself .... And you should also believe, without a shadow of doubt, that all of you with a living faith and who approach Me with love, will be able to behold Me, for My Word is truth and will come to pass.

People who deny 'My coming', who only want to understand and explain this arrival figuratively, are not yet as profoundly devoted as to be united with Me, but the immense earthly hardship before the end will still strengthen their faith if they are of good will. And they themselves will pray for My coming, because they will realise that only I can provide the rescue which they cannot expect from another side any longer .... You should believe that I will save you from utmost adversity and await the hour when My promise fulfils itself. And then My adversary will be defeated, yet with him also his many followers, who will be taken in by the earth again .... Therefore hope and persevere, for the hour of your deliverance will come, the day of separating the spirits will arrive .... There will be an earthly and spiritual change which you will experience and which has been constantly proclaimed to you in Word and Scripture ....

Amen

Let the light of truth illuminate the way ....

B.D. 7945 from July 19th 1961, taken from Book No. 83

I will introduce you to the truth, as I have promised you .... For truth alone is the light you need on earth which shall illuminate the path that leads to Me, back to your father's house. Without truth you walk in dense darkness which My adversary has spread over you because he wants to prevent you from finding the path to Me and because he wants to prevent the desire for Me from awakening in you at all. Therefore he also tries to distort Me and My nature; he portrays Me to you humans in a completely wrong way, he gives you a distorted image of Me, he wants to prevent you from recognizing Me and loving Me .... he portrays Me as a being who is imperfect .... as a God of vengeance and wrath, as a harsh and severe judge .... as a being which lacks all love, otherwise He would not teach of eternal damnation and thereby only awaken fear and anxiety in people, which excludes all love for Me. But only love can bring about your return to Me. Love for Me must cause you to strive towards Me and thus to fulfil My will, which again is only a life of love .... Love is therefore the fundamental principle of My eternal order .... And you must be instructed in truth in order to gain a correct concept of the nature of your God and creator, Who wants to be your father and therefore courts your love. Only the truth gives you a clear picture of Me and My nature, and therefore I convey the truth to you, because then it will become light in you and you will recognize Me correctly .... For both I and he fight for your souls .... And that is why he wants to keep you in spiritual darkness, because the light reveals Me Myself as well as his nature and then the souls will be lost to him who recognize and learn to love Me in the light of truth and then also strive towards Me of their own free will. When I lived on earth I was well aware of the lightless state humanity is in as long as it is not introduced to the truth by Me. And therefore I gave you the promise that I Myself will remain with you until the end of the world .... that I will send you the comforter, the spirit of truth .... But you must always declare your willingness yourselves, you must desire the light so that it may shine and illuminate the path which leads to Me. Then you will truly no longer need to fear darkness nor the prince of darkness, for he himself will flee the light which radiates from Me .... and he will always try to extinguish it but to no avail, because .... where the light from Me can once shine .... My guardians also stand and protect it from his influence. And thus it is only up to you humans yourselves whether you want to escape the darkness .... I will always kindle a light for you which breaks through the darkness as soon as you only desire light. Thus I will always convey the truth to you from Me, I will instruct you through the spirit as I did on earth, and if you accept My instructions and live your life in accordance with My will then you will also become enlightened yourselves and recognize Me, your God and father of eternity, you will love Me and strive towards Me, and then I will take hold of you and truly no longer let you fall back into darkness, then you will clearly see the path in front of you which you have to take in order to reach Me, and then you will consciously travel your earthly path with the aim of reaching the height where I Myself await you, Who longs for your return and therefore will always radiate bright light .... And the truth will make you happy which will reveal everything to you: your former destiny and nature and your aim to be again what you were in the beginning ....

Teachers are trained by God Himself ....

B.D. 7946 from July 21st 1961, taken from Book No. 83

I want to be your constant teacher .... only then will you be guaranteed to walk in truth and also be able to teach your fellow human beings again, if you yourselves abide by My word, which you receive from Me .... I seek to impart knowledge to you .... first of all I preach love to you, because only then will you be able to receive true knowledge from Me and also understand it .... And so you should also do it: You should first offer your fellow human beings the gospel of love, for only then can you offer them the truth from Me if they accept the divine teaching of love and follow it .... because only then will the spirit in them guarantee right thinking and thus also right understanding for deeper wisdoms .... I cannot address all people directly, therefore I need mediators, I need willing servants who allow themselves to be trained as My teachers by Myself .... who are willing to pass on again what they receive themselves .... who are also themselves so far pre-educated by Me that they are active for Me in My will. And if I now instruct them Myself I will also give them the right understanding for it and they can now also safely exercise their teaching ministry .... They will always speak what I Myself convey to them through the spirit, they will never enlighten their fellow human beings out of their intellect but only ever speak guided by My spirit; they will also have the gift to express themselves intelligibly so that the fellow human being will indeed believe to hear the words of a 'human being' but these words will touch his heart and can be perceived as divine words. Since I want the truth to be conveyed to people I also have to educate suitable teachers to whom I convey My word directly, whom I therefore address directly and instruct Myself and who then cannot err if they represent the truth from Me. And therefore these teachers are also given extensive spiritual knowledge, because they should answer every question and also have to be able to refute every objection .... And thus those who receive My word directly from Me will also be able to understand everything themselves and therefore also speak with conviction again .... You humans should therefore not assume that they only mechanically receive spiritual knowledge which they themselves cannot grasp or judge .... For as soon as the prerequisites are in place for Me to address a person directly because he has a mission to fulfil, then there is also a guarantee that the person will recognize the spiritual knowledge he receives, for he will be guided by Me Myself into 'recognizing' it .... He will be given light himself, and thus his thinking must also be right .... My word is always blessed with My strength, and this strength does not fail to have an effect .... The human being's soul matures and this means that it increasingly enters the state of light, that it is given back the knowledge it originally possessed .... it means that the human being, whom I can address directly, will become enlightened from within and that he will also understand all knowledge which is presented to him. And then he is also able to teach and to clearly and comprehensibly explain the correlations to his fellow human beings .... he is able to pass on the pure truth when the opportunity arises in spiritual exchange. For he has declared himself willing to serve Me .... Thus I will use him where I need him. And he will then also speak on My behalf when he feels urged to speak for Me and My kingdom. For then he will not speak himself but I will speak through him .... Then I make My promise come true: "Where two or three are gathered in My name, there am I in the midst of them .... "

Life of love protects from error ....

B.D. 7947 from July 22nd 1961, taken from Book No. 83

I have to emphasize time and again that only truth can bring you joy .... How often has error already been explained to you and you do not recognise it as such. By this I only refer to mental concepts which do not relate to earthly knowledge but extend into the spiritual realm, which you humans will never be able to prove, which can only be believed. This mental information, however, must correspond to the truth if it is to have beneficial effects .... You can be totally devoid of knowledge and need not endeavour to learn anything either .... but then your life as a human being would be completely meaningless, for it would never attain its purpose: your perfection. But if the wrong knowledge is given to you, your earthly life can be equally pointless, because wrong knowledge is darkness of spirit .... But you should live in light, only then will you fulfil the purpose of your earthly life: your soul will mature fully, for you will live a conscious life and your conduct will be in accordance with My will. Consequently, imparting the truth and accepting it has to be the first condition for you to reach your goal ....

But you have free will, and this alone determines your attitude to truth. Only this determines whether you will ask for truth and want to reject error .... and then the truth will be offered to you with certainty, then you will walk on earth in the light of truth in every way and arrive at your goal. This will, however, is only weakly present amongst people, they mostly accept everything indifferently, and because of their indifference error adheres to them far more .... they do not recognise it as such, and their earthly life may then have been in vain unless they become spiritually enlightened through a life of love and are saved from the downfall. And the crucial factor for a person is his decision to live a life of love, because then he will also be able to differentiate between truth and error ....

And thus, he should consider the divine teaching of love as the first and most important truth .... If he accepts it as pure truth and lives accordingly, it will be easy for him to recognise wrong teachings concerning the spiritual realm as misguided, and he will dismiss them .... But if other, humanly conceived, doctrines are presented to a person as credible they may very easily take precedence over his love for Me and one's neighbour, or I will no longer be regarded as the most perfect Being and therefore love cannot be offered to Me either .... And then error will have won, it will have spread darkness and clouded people's thoughts ....

Only truth will bring you true light .... And all of you are able to attain truth, for I do not withhold it from anyone who desires it. And you should know that the desire for truth will grow ever stronger when you fulfil the divine commandments of love. Hence, where love is preached to you, you will also be instructed in truth, for as soon as a preacher emphasizes love for Me and for one's neighbour his thoughts will be enlightened and his words will therefore always be truth .... He will deter misguided spiritual knowledge and never preach it to you, because he will be prompted by love to proclaim only the pure truth. And thus My constant reminder to you is that you should give full expression to My divine teaching of love .... Then you will not run the risk of falling prey to error, and your earthly life will certainly not be a waste of time .... You will walk brightly lit paths, you will be thoughtful and spiritually enlightened, for love is the Divine within you, I will always be present in you when you remain within love .... Only true thoughts can be where I Am, because I Myself will enlighten you through the spirit, which will only ever impart pure truth to you ....

Amen

Wrestling of the beings of light in the realm of darkness ....

B.D. 7948 from July 24th 1961, taken from Book No. 83

In the spiritual kingdom, too, there is an incessant battle for the souls, for My adversary rages there as well, and he seeks to prevent the souls from taking the path to ascent .... In the spiritual kingdom too the adversary seeks to push the souls away from the light and envelop them in ever denser darkness .... Yet forces of light are also active in the spiritual kingdom which help every soul if it only has the slightest will to come out of darkness into the light. Thus even these souls in darkness are not without protection, only the will has to awaken in themselves towards the light, towards ascent, towards freedom .... And this is the battle between light and darkness, that the beings of light constantly endeavour to push the bad forces out of the darkness and to influence the souls in such a way that they themselves want to escape the darkness .... This happens in every way, only the beings of light cannot approach the souls in radiant brightness but they have to appear in the same state as those, so that the souls gain confidence and express themselves .... And then intercession on the part of people is of immense help because the souls' will to resist is thereby weakened if it is not completely broken, which then considerably facilitates the light beings' work .... But the love of these beings does not abandon the souls which are handed over to their care .... They themselves stand in the light and are thereby also blissfully abundant .... and thus their love drives them again and again to release the unhappy souls from their state and to bring them the light. And they usually succeed, only in the case of completely hardened souls does the adversary have the upper hand, and then it can also lead to renewed banishment at the end of a redemption period when the soul, instead of ascending, sinks ever deeper and then a renewed dissolution of the spiritual substances is inevitable. The redeemer's work in the spiritual kingdom is carried out ever more intensively, for the beings of light are aware of the coming earth upheaval, they know about the danger of a new banishment of incorrigible souls, and they truly do everything to spare them this fate, because they know about the agonies and the infinitely long time until they can walk the earth again as I-conscious beings. And the activity which makes them happy consists of helping the souls to salvation, of bringing them the light, of leading them to Jesus Christ, Whom they must first have found in the kingdom of the beyond if the kingdom of light is to be opened to them. For this reason your work of redemption on earth is blessed, for every soul which has already found Him on earth need not fear the darkness even if it cannot yet demonstrate a high degree of light when entering the spiritual kingdom; but it need not fear a decline, it has escaped the adversary's power and will be granted help in every way so that it can ascend to the ascent. My adversary truly makes extensive use of the power he possesses in the end, and he oppresses everything spiritual which strives towards Me .... And he will try by all means to prevent that what still belongs to him also takes the path to Me .... But the beings of light let their love radiate and achieve much with it, even if they have to respect the souls' free will. Love fights against hatred, and love is truly a great strength .... And thus you humans on earth can also push everything unspiritual away from you through love, you can also successfully wage the battle against darkness if you let love break through, if you only ever oppose evil with love .... For the adversary succumbs to love, he flees it, and then he leaves you when love becomes overpowering in you, which is why you can also bring help to the beings in darkness by virtue of your love, because they surrender when such a ray of love touches them .... And then they are also saved, and My adversary has lost power over these souls, for anyone who has once felt the strength of love has his resistance broken, and now it is not difficult for the beings of light in the spiritual kingdom to help them upwards, and they are saved for all eternity ....

Amen

The father takes over all the worries ....

B.D. 7949 from July 25th 1961, taken from Book No. 83

Trust in My help in every earthly and spiritual adversity and only turn to Me, your father of eternity, with all your concerns, Who is always willing to help His children and Whom you will never call upon in vain .... if only you fully trust Me. All earthly events approach you in such a way as to be helpful for your ascent development .... And even if it seems to you as if you get into adversity and distress .... you yourselves can avert these from you if only you faithfully adhere to Me, if you ask Me to take all worries upon Myself .... and I will do so, for the father wants to win His child's love and will therefore only ever give it love .... Every spiritually-directed thought also guarantees you My help, for I have given you the promise: “Seek first the kingdom of God .... everything else will be added to you ...." And if you now give priority to the maturing of your soul, if you turn your thoughts towards Me and the spiritual kingdom, earthly hardship will not affect you so much because I Myself will take it away from you. My promise will come true, of that you can be certain .... I demand of you that you pay more attention to your soul than to your body .... I require you to seek contact with Me and My kingdom, and then I will take over the worries which burden you earthly, I will always regulate everything in such a way that it will benefit you. But you must trust Me, you must not allow yourselves to be depressed by earthly hardship, you must only surrender everything to Me, and truly, you will be able to praise yourselves happily, for no-one can take care of you better than I can, because I know everything you need and because I also want to bestow gifts upon you who serve Me, who are willing to be called My own .... you who think of Me and carry Me in your heart. To whom else should My promise apply if not to you who have the will to live for My pleasure? And so, if you have a concern, be it earthly or spiritual, trustingly come to Me and present it to Me .... And truly, I will consider you according to your requests, for nothing is impossible for Me and My love for you is exceedingly great .... Yet also reckon that great changes will soon take place which are indispensable for the sake of all humanity. Yet even then I will guide My own through it and you will experience My power as well as My love, which will be clearly recognizable in My own .... For they will have what they need and My strength will flow to them so that they will not feel anything too heavy, even if they are affected by strokes of fate .... They will always feel My nearness and in firm faith hand themselves over to Me, and they will always be guided out of every adversity. Just make sure that your faith strengthens, join Me ever more intimately and have a silent dialogue with Me, and you will draw much strength from it and then also do nothing without Me, you will always let Me be with you, you will secure My presence for yourselves through heartfelt prayer and activity of love. And in this heartfelt bond you will also trustingly present everything to Me which is troubling you and be certain that I will take all worries from you, that I will take care of you and can truly do this better than an earthly father takes care of his children. And in order to test you and your faith you will also be confronted by worries and hardship again and again; yet since you know the path you need only walk it .... you need only call upon Me in spirit and in truth .... and truly, I will answer your prayer ....

Amen

Redemption only through Jesus Christ .... Self-Redemption is not possible ....

B.D. 7950 from July 26th 1961, taken from Book No. 83

You were redeemed through the death of Jesus Christ, and not a single being in the entire universe was excluded from this redemption, for He accomplished His act for all once fallen spirits, He accomplished it for all people past, present and future .... But the being itself has to acknowledge it, it has to consciously lay claim on the blessings of the act of Salvation .... God's opponent is entitled to the spiritual being which had voluntarily followed him into the abyss .... It turned to him and away from God of its own free will .... of its own free will it has to turn away from him again and desire to return to God. However, it would never have found the strength to separate itself from him, because its will had been totally weakened by the adversary .... It would have stayed separated from God forever if the human being Jesus, in Whom God had manifested Himself, had not achieved the act of Salvation by means of his crucifixion, through which he acquired the blessings of a stronger will, which could then increase the fallen spirit's will and then also enable it to rise up against the adversary and strive towards God ....

The act of Salvation will not force any being to return, but its return is made possible by it, which otherwise could never have taken place. Yet it always requires free will, otherwise all fallen spirits would have been instantly redeemed and every work of creation would already be spiritualised .... But redemption depends on the human being's free will who, as a once fallen being, is travelling the path across earth for the purpose of becoming free, if he takes advantage of Jesus' act of Salvation and His acquired blessings .... Then his redemption will be certain, then he will return to his origin as a child of God .... then Jesus Christ will not have died for him in vain .... he can still perfect himself in earthly life or ascend to the spiritual kingdom and be active in light and strength and freedom for his own happiness. It only requires your will to be redeemed, for Jesus atoned the guilt on his behalf, Jesus cleared the way for him to the Father, Jesus opened the gate to the kingdom of light .... But the human being himself has to want the act of Salvation to have been achieved for him, he has to consciously place himself underneath the cross of Christ, he has to acknowledge Him as Son of God and Redeemer of the world, in Whom God had manifested Himself in order to be able to become a 'visible' God for all His living beings .... Yet in that case one cannot ever speak about 'Self-Redemption', even if one's own free will is the first condition to attain the blessing of the act of Salvation .... The human being can never free himself from his great guilt of sin without the help of Jesus Christ, in his weakness of will he will never be able to lift himself up and detach himself from God's adversary ....

The redemption of all souls is only possible through Jesus Christ, and this is why Jesus Christ the man suffered the crucifixion for all fallen spiritual beings and acquired the blessing of a strengthened will, which every being can lay claim to as soon as it has reached the stage of free will as a human being again. And this exceedingly joyful knowledge is conveyed to you humans. For now you are informed that you are not hopelessly lost, that there is a path of ascent for you, back to your Father's house .... the path to the cross of Christ, which has to be taken without fail but which also assures you complete deliverance. If, however, you don't take this path then you will not find redemption either, you will not be released from your adversary and that will mean that you will never be able to enter into the kingdom of light because your guilt of sin will prevent your entry. You yourselves will be unable to free yourselves from this sin, but you will be able to carry it under the cross, to Jesus Christ, Who shed His blood for your guilt and thereby also bought you back from God's adversary. Only your will has to make conscious use of this blessing, and then your guilt will also be redeemed .... you will be free beings again as you were in the beginning, and need only perfect yourselves in earthly life, that is, through loving activity, shape your nature into love again .... you need only seek closest unity with God, your Father of eternity, and your soul will mature and then, as His children, be able to enter the kingdom of light and bliss ....

Amen

Faith ....

B.D. 7951 from July 27th 1961, taken from Book No. 83

You all have to acquire a much firmer faith and that means that you have to love even more, because love brings forth a living faith .... Performing labours of love creates a direct bond with Me, Who is eternal love .... It should be self-evident that you can no longer doubt or have a weak faith when you are connected to Me because then I Am the guarantee Myself that your faith won't be destroyed .... And although your will to believe can be strong .... but you must have an equally strong will to do works of love .... Love has to be the inner driving force of all your intentions and actions, then your faith will be firm and steadfast .... you simply will not be able to doubt anymore but will be sure of what you should believe. And this convinced faith will fill you with joy and give you inner peace because then I Am with you Myself, because your deeds of love draw Me closer to you without fail, because 'those who love are in Me and I Am in them ....' Love unites us permanently and love gives birth to an unwavering, living faith. And when you pray for a firm faith then you have to pray for a strong will to love at the same time and you will achieve a firm faith indeed.

I repeatedly give you this information because you are approaching the time when you need a firm, unwavering faith to remain resolved until the end .... If you have this faith nothing can upset you, no matter what happens, because then you know that I will help you and thus you are giving yourselves into My hands with blind faith .... And then I Am indeed always willing to help, I will not leave you at times of physical or spiritual distress because your willingness to love, your way of life, has made you My Own already, you have joined Me again and I Am now able to work in and through you.

A firm faith is the best guarantee you can have because it gives you inner peace and calmness during all earthly events which I can avert from you or reduce their effects because you have faith .... And thus you should always pray: 'Father, help me to do works of love and let my will to love become ever stronger ....' And the will to love will grow at the same rate because love guarantees My presence and My presence guarantees help at all times of distress .... Love also guarantees the recognition of all correlations and hence the understanding for everything which, in turn, contributes to the strengthening of faith. Love is everything .... and if you have love you are also filled with strength from Me and this strength enables you to do unusual things when necessary, when love is the driving force that makes you want to help .... Then you have the faith that moves mountains .... and then you won't fear whatever happens to you. Because then you are connected to Him, Who is Lord above all, Who can command the elements to spare you and Who wants to prove Himself as your Father .... Who loves His children and will not leave them to become victims of destruction .... Ask Me every day for the strengthening of your faith and the will to love, as this is a spiritual request which I certainly will fulfil because love and faith are necessary for your perfection ....

Amen

Carrying the divine word into the world ....

B.D. 7952 from July 30th 1961, taken from Book No. 83

Whatever is offered to you earthly .... Nothing can replace My gifts of grace, and nothing can give your soul the riches it receives spiritually through My address. And therefore you must never forget this gift of grace above earthly pleasures, earthly joys or earthly riches .... you should take nothing so important as the daily intercourse with Me, which gives you My direct address .... I can give you everything, but I can also take everything away from you. But as long as you possess Me Myself, as long as you are able to hear Me Myself, you truly possess the best, the greatest wealth and the most desirable thing a human being can possess on earth .... I Myself am close to you and My presence is your greatest benefit. And you should not want to give this away for anything, you should rather do without everything if you thereby run the risk of forfeiting Me Myself and My presence for you .... You should be willing to give up everything just so as not to lose My gift of grace of being directly addressed by Me .... And if you prove this willingness to Me then you belong to Me completely, and then you are faithful servants to Me whom I can now also use for every work, for every task, and who will also serve Me with all devotion. And then I can also give you without having to fear losing you to the world again. You should gladly give up the world with its pleasures, then there is no danger that it will demand you back again, that you will become enslaved by the world again, for as soon as you were once allowed to receive spiritual possessions from My hand they are more important to you than what belongs to the world. Yet again and again My adversary will try to chain you to the world again, and he will use all arts in order to achieve his aim .... Yet you can also be certain of My protection, for inner strength will also flow to you to resist him because you don't want to give up the bond with Me and this will secures My protection and My strength for you. (7/29/1961) You should indeed always be mindful and know that the adversary will leave no stone unturned in order to push you onto another path again, but the strength of My word is stronger, and therefore you will always desire My word, because it will always make you more happy than all the goods of the world and because everything seems stale to you in view of these gifts of grace which you may accept as often as this is your will. And therefore you are also constantly under My guidance, you who serve Me as an instrument in the last time before the end. And I Myself always guide you on the right path .... And if this path leads through the midst of the world I will try to influence souls there as well and address them through you, for I truly still know how to gather My sheep and lure them away from the dangers which threaten them because they are still too exposed to My adversary's attacks .... and they shall also hear the shepherd's call .... The world offers great danger but I am also to be found in the midst of the world if only a silent call reaches My ear, if only questioning thoughts are sent into the spiritual kingdom, from where an answer will then certainly come. For this reason I require strong supports which do not fall themselves when they are placed in the world, when they are blown around by strong storms of all kinds .... when temptations assail them or attacks by hostile-minded people who will always be represented in the world, in the world's gears, and proceed against everything spiritual because they are much closer to the world and thus to My adversary's territory, to whom the earthly world belongs. But I can also be close to such strong supporters in the midst of the world, for they will always keep their ear open to the words which sound from above, they will always open their hearts for My flow of strength of grace, they will not take a step in the 'world' without Me. And thus they will also carry My word into this world where only one heart willingly opens and receives it. I know where a receptive heart can still be found, I know where My word is recognized and accepted, and I also want to guide My word there, I want to scatter the seed so that it will still sprout and bear good fruit. For there is not much time left until the end .... My ways are strange, yet you walk them under My guidance .... and if you now willingly let yourselves be guided without offering Me even the slightest resistance, you will only ever be amazed at how easily even difficult problems can be solved if I bring about this solution Myself. I still seek to create clarity everywhere where there is ambiguity .... I am still knocking on many doors in order to be able to enter Myself in order to offer spiritual gifts to human hearts .... I still know many souls who hunger and thirst and long for strong soul food .... I still know many sick people who need good, healing medicine .... And I want to draw their attention to the spring which I have opened up, from which truly springs the best water of life, which refreshingly touches people who bow down at it and expect healing and strengthening for their pilgrimage to the eternal home. And I send My messengers to invite all the weak and sick to My table so that I can give them food and drink and good medicine, which I keep ready for everyone because I know all people's suffering and weaknesses and want to help them. And thus My gospel shall also be carried into the 'world', because people can be found everywhere who are willing to accept it if only it is offered to them in the right form .... i.e. as pure truth ..... And I will accompany My messengers, I will guide them and protect them from all attacks by My adversary .... because My love is always with those who want to serve Me .... My wisdom recognizes their will and My might truly protects them in every adversity and danger ....

Amen

Only beings of light are permitted to teach ....

B.D. 7953 from July 31th 1961, taken from Book No. 83

The spiritual world constantly endeavours to bring help to those people who desire help from the beings of light .... For all beings of light act in accordance with My will, and if I want to help people then it will often take place through My angels, through all spirits of light, whose happiness consists of implementing My will. But all these beings do not act in opposition to My will, because due to their spiritual maturity they completely entered into My will already, because they want nothing other than to comply with My will, in other words: My will is their will too, since they possess an abundance of love and wisdom and recognise that My will only intends that which is right for My living creations and therefore they unconditionally submit themselves to My will. And thus it is understandable that they will indeed impart the full truth if they are permitted by Me to bring spiritual enlightenment to people .... if they have the task to instruct people mentally, to proclaim the Gospel to them in the form of My Word, which I also convey to you through these beings of light .... but the Word which originates from Me will always be the same, because they receive My illumination of love and then pass it on again. For their bliss consists of their uninterrupted connection with Me, of the flow of My Word which is heard by them directly and which they pass on again according to My will. Thus beings of light can never disseminate untrue spiritual knowledge, and only beings of light are permitted to teach you humans if you have asked Me Myself for the truth, if you demonstrate your desire for truth to Me through your appeal for it. In that case you can only be taught the truth, for I will protect you from the intrusion of immature spirits who want to impart wrong teachings to you because they act on behalf of My adversary .... but which will never gain entry to people who desire truth .... And therefore you can safely accept the Words offered to you by beings of light as My Word, for they are merely the mediators of the pure truth from Me, which they themselves receive in form of a direct address ....

For My Word sounds in the kingdom of the blessed spirits in order to make them incredibly happy .... But then they will also work with it because the love of these beings constantly endeavours to bring light into the darkness, and My Word is the light which penetrates the darkness .... And if you humans want to receive the pure truth from Me you need only make heartfelt contact with Me and appeal for it .... You can rest assured that I will grant this wish to you, and then you can also accept that everything given to you is given by Me Myself, even if it is conveyed to you through beings of light, for My strength of love, My Word, shines into them and through them down to you humans again, since these beings care for you with greater than great love and will also prevent misguided thinking from influencing your thoughts. They push all immature spirits away from you on My instructions, so that the pure ´Word of God´ is not distorted, so that you humans may receive it in all purity and as accurate as it originated from Me. Nevertheless, the fact that My adversary is also at work and makes an effort to sow evil seeds everywhere cannot by denied .... Yet this will always be determined by people themselves, i.e. by their will, who allow themselves to be accessed by these forces, who thus do not entirely hand themselves over to Me and only strive for the pure truth .... who use their own will and allow themselves to be taken possession of by still unenlightened beings .... This is why a person should practise rigorous self-criticism as to what extent he has entered into the right relationship with Me .... And he should only ever hand himself over to the good forces, to the beings of light and the implementers of My will, he should appeal to Me for protection from being besieged by everything unspiritual .... he should only ever want to be addressed by Me Myself, Who is the primary source of truth and Who therefore will only ever bestow truth upon those who desire it .... However, I know and see through his heart and all his thoughts .... And thus I also know the substance of his innermost nature .... and accordingly he will receive, accordingly he will be surrounded by forces of light or of darkness. Yet the eternal light of love will always shine into a receptive heart which utterly opens itself to Me so that I can fill it with light and strength ....

Amen

God's protection in the battle of faith ....

B.D. 7954 from August 1st 1961, taken from Book No. 83

Thus stand firm and don't let your faith waver, for I, your God and Father of eternity, Am and remain with you when the great battle of faith begins by which My adversary also wants to cause the downfall of you who are My Own. Everything undertaken against Me will always aim to render Jesus Christ and His act of Salvation implausible to you .... And the fact that Jesus Christ will be denied, that people shall be deprived of all faith in Him and that they therefore shall have no opportunity to depart from this earth in a redeemed state shall be taken by you as an obvious sign of the approaching end .... For My adversary will openly challenge Me by attacking Jesus Christ in Whom I became a visible God for humanity.

And the more intense this battle erupts the more you can be assured of My presence, for I will not abandon My Own, I will not let My adversary be victorious over those who want to be and remain My Own. And when you are thus cornered by the requirement to deny Me as the divine Redeemer Jesus Christ .... when you have to choose between Me and My adversary, then just put all your trust in Me as then I will be closer to you than ever; I Myself will fight with you and you need not fear My adversary, for My power is supreme and will protect you, no matter how threatening the undertakings against you may look. But then you can expect your deliverance within hours, you can count on My coming within hours and the end of the world, whence I will remove you at the height of affliction and danger ....

Do not become doubtful then, but remember that I have foretold you that you will still have to endure great tribulations for the sake of your faith ....Yet the stronger your faith and the more confidently you abide by Me, the easier will be the battle of faith for you, for I truly have the power at My disposal to avert even the worst from you, and My Own shall experience My love and power and therefore can confidently and fearlessly look ahead to this time. But it will come, for the believers will come under attack by earthly authorities and those who are enslaved by My adversary .... My Own will have to give public testimony and should not be frightened, for the God Whom they acknowledge will also reveal His power and help them in earthly adversity and distress ....

Just be prepared that brutal measures will be used against you, who want to remain loyal to Me .... But don't forget that I Am Lord over life and death, over heaven and earth .... and that I truly have means and ways to lead My Own out of earthly hardship, even if it seems as if there is no way out. And whatever earthly things will be denied to you .... I will miraculously feed you and quench your thirst, for that, too, is within My power, after all, I created heaven and earth, I made all laws according to My will .... and thus I can also abolish laws and nourish you supernaturally .... I can also surround you with a protective barrier, I can instruct My angels to form such a barrier around you ....

You only have to faithfully entrust yourselves to Me, your Father, Who will not leave His children in peril and Who will protect you from the enemy of your soul, from earthly and spiritual opponents .... For My might and My love is great .... And this will happen in the near future .... Yet prior to this you will still be subjected to tests of faith but these, too, will strengthen and enable you to stand firm in the last battle on this earth. And as soon as this conflict flares up you will also know that the end is not far away, for My adversary will only wage war for a short time, because for the sake of My chosen people I will shorten the time, I will bind him as well as his supporters. For the time he was granted for his activities on earth is fulfilled and the end of the earth is near, as it is proclaimed in Word and Scripture ....

Moon ....

B.D. 7955 from August 2nd 1961, taken from Book No. 83

Only I Myself can make truthful knowledge accessible to you, because only I know everything and all beings of light are also permeated by the knowledge which corresponds to the truth, because they receive this truth from Me .... since the illumination of My light of love into eternity imparts realisation upon all the beings I can address. This is why a being of light must have attained a specific degree of maturity, or it must accomplish a mission in order to reduce the spiritual adversity on earth .... But 'illumination of love' always signifies My transmission of truth, of knowledge relating to the spiritual sphere that cannot be gained by any other means than through direct illumination and that therefore requires receptive vessels to accept the eternal light of love. All perfect spirits are at all times ready and willing to be receptive and, as stations of strength and light, can therefore time and again serve to forward the light of love. People on earth, however, do not usually possess this degree of perfection. However, for the purpose of helping I can also choose a person as a receptacle for My love of light .... if certain preconditions exist which allow for it. I can also convey truthful knowledge to people on earth if My wisdom realises that it is necessary for people's salvation of soul to transmit light to them .... Then I will use a vessel which has prepared itself through love for the reception of My flow of love, this will guarantee the pure truth, because it is My will that people should gain possession of the truth. Then I will also instruct them in everything they need to know for the benefit of their soul. In that case the person would be able to ask any question, it will be truthfully answered for him. I always want to answer you if it benefits your soul. Consequently, you should ask Me spiritual questions, for knowledge about earthly things is worthless for the maturing of the soul. But I will also guide your thoughts correctly in every other aspect, because every error is detrimental for you, every error results in negative consequences, regardless of whether these consequences have a spiritual or earthly effect ....

The simplest answer to your previous debates about the Moon is this: .... The moon constantly accompanies the earth on its orbit, but it is not constantly within the range of the Sun's light because spiritually it is further away from the Sun than the Earth .... The Earth circles the Sun and, due to its own revolution, the rays of the Sun will always affect a different part of Earth, thus resulting in light and darkness. Although the moon's orbit is the same, it nevertheless takes longer to circle, with other words, it cannot be exposed to the Sun's rays at the same time, instead, they will only ever affect that part of the moon which, during its course as the Earth's satellite, can catch the Sun's light. This is because its distance from Earth results in the fact that it requires more time to complete its orbit and so it cannot be affected by the sun's rays at the same time but in intervals instead, depending on the Earth's position in relation to the Sun. Thus the Earth does not stand as a shadow between Sun and Moon, instead, the Earth reflects the light it receives from the Sun during its rotation and which can be received by the Moon depending on its position to the Earth, and this always changes because, although the Moon accompanies the Earth as a satellite, its velocity is not the same as the Earth revolves around itself .... It accompanies the Earth in the universe but it does not rotate at the same speed, therefore it cannot always be visible to the inhabitants on Earth either. However, it will always be able to receive the sun's rays of light, which cannot be restricted by any other planets. The Moon certainly always accompanies the Earth, but on account of Earth's constant rotation it is, from time to time, not visible to the inhabitants on earth .... it cannot be seen .... not because the Sun does not shine on it or because it happens to be within the shadow of Earth, but because the inhabitants on earth themselves happen to be on the other side of Earth in relation to the Moon due to the Earth's rotation and because, on the other hand, they can also see the Sun and the Moon at the same time if this side of the Earth faces the Moon, the latter of which is possible during the day as well as at the night .... but this does not depend on the Sun's illumination, instead, it depends on the position of the Moon in relation to the Earth.

Light beam of the sun ....

B.D. 7956 from August 3rd 1961, taken from Book No. 83

The grace of the word reception ensures you also My protection, and you don’t need to be afraid, to labour under a mistake, because I know your desire for truth and don’t give you wrong teachings, though you are surrounded constantly by forces of darkness, that would like to dim or extinguish the light from above .... But they are powerless against the light, that is beaming them and they flee, because they recognize its source. But again and again they will try to embarrass your thoughts, which I however straighten right again and again, because it is your task, to serve Me in My vineyard and thus to spread the truth, which I Myself transmit you from above, because you people need it to your maturing. I alone can only teach you right and likewise the beings of light too, through them flows the same light of love, that emanates from Me, and therefore they always can only emit the same light, that they take in reception by Myself, to let it radiate in the darkness. And so you are allowed indubitably to take on everything approaching you from above. You only have to know, that it is hard, to reveal secrets of creation to you, as long as you’re still quite ignorant in it .... For you don’t know the laws of nature, even to know their effects, and even you know less about the divine spiritual laws .... You don’t know about the sources of light in the universe, which have a purely spiritual origin and yet their effect can be seen by the earthly eye .... And therefore you can not be given a clear explanation, whether and when the rays of the sun experience a reduction in their radiation force, whether and when the radiation force is entirely abolished. Human calculations are not applicable, although alleged evidences believe to justify them ....The radiation area of the sun is also limited, because it is a spiritual light stream, that is interrupted, when the lawful order is not complied, where the fundamental principle of eternal order turns off an efficacy, what you people can not recognize and understand in your limited state. Spiritual processes in the cosmos will always correspond with earthly or apparent processes, because everything is in closest relationships with one another .... And so there would be no obstacles or limitations for the irradiation of sunlight, if not by a certain resistance of the still immature spiritual .... from that the world bodies exist in the universe more or less .... the light force or radiation force would be reduced or prevented .... But the nature of the world bodies is just caused in the composition of immature spiritual substances, and the degree of their completion determines also the degree of illumination .... and so even more perfect creations are self-radiant heavenly bodies, because they can get light from the original source, without finding resistance, and therefore also those light sources can emit light again .... So also any dark star can be illuminated, and it is also illuminated in the proportion, as “life“ must be ensured on those stars. But a permanent illumination would rather endanger “life“, therefore these floodlightings must also be kept within limits, which explains the alternation of day and night in the spiritual sense. However all processes in the universe can be explained earthly, but a certain requirement for understanding must be there .... People must know, that all the stars in the region of the sun also receive the light of this, but always in the explained manner before, that they only get light, that is necessary for “life“ and existance, according to the mental state of its inhabitants .... and that this illumination of light can be seen sometimes by inhabitants of other heavenly bodies .... But in no way a world body , a star, prevents or limits the illumination of one another, as you humans imagine, for every star is the sun accessible in the same proportion, but its illumination is determined by the star itself, which so characterizes the spiritual state of its substance .... Because the sunlight is spiritual radiation, the sun is a self-luminous heavenly body, that is constantly fed by the source of the original strength and the light and forwards the strength and lightning stream constantly .... It is well visible in the firmament, but already a creation of spiritual nature .... where perfect spiritual engages in the preservation of the works of creation, which are in the range of this sun .... Now spiritual radiation penetrates everything, also each matter, but it stops in its efficiency, where a resistance offers in form of unspiritual substance, as any matter is meant. But this substance would never hinder or stop floodlighting, to meet other stars again, that is a false idea, that a star could prove to be a shadow for another .... But laws exist according to divine order, and these laws will also endure eternally, as long as there a material creation exists .... And where it is only possible, I will inform you people also of that, when the maturity of your souls allows this and when I consider it salutary for you and your soul ....

Amen

Cosmos .... Moon ....

B.D. 7957 from August 4th 1961, taken from Book No. 83

Even the slightest lack of clarity has a negative effect, for it causes doubt in a person and darkens the light which should illuminate his heart. Nevertheless, an influx of light will always occur when the heart opens itself to accept its rays. Where lack of clarity exists, an explanation needs to be given, for I do not want a person who wants to think correctly to get confused. But neither do I want error to be spread where only serving the truth is wanted .... Yet need any of you worry about this when I instruct your Myself and you only pass on what I Myself Am telling you? .... The fact that you yourselves cannot intellectually grasp everything need not alarm you, for as long as you are not perfect as yet, your thinking will still be limited and unable to reconcile your previous convictions with the explanations I give to you, if they concern areas which science believes to have disclosed. However, even science cannot deny the fact that many still unexplored things exist in the cosmos .... And what it believes to have explored lacks proof, for the evidence it produced is wrong .... This also includes the calculations they made about the distance and the relationship of the Moon's position to Earth .... and it is difficult to give a right explanation to those of you humans who have acquired the knowledge you believe you can prove .... By merely considering the constant rotation of Earth around its own axis, you will have to realise that the Moon is indeed a satellite of Earth but nevertheless an entirely independent star from Earth, which circles within the region of the same Sun as the Earth, thus it also receives continually light from it .... The Earth is neither able to stop this flow of light nor to restrict it .... Yet the inhabitants of earth can more or less see the Moon, according to the position of Earth, which it occupies during its rotation around itself .... The illumination of light takes place in lawful order, and the stars also take their orbit in lawful order .... Therefore the same events occur in intervals, the same natural cycle of day and night .... But you humans should not forget that everything is in motion, that nothing stands still in the whole universe and that these movements also happen according to law and yet the stars which appear to be constant in the sky can be observed by you humans .... which might, purely physically, make a constant rotation of Earth debatable. And yet the Earth rotates around itself, but it will remain an eternal mystery which you human will never be able to solve .... You can certainly always assume and believe to produce proof, but this proof will never be right .... on account of which you will never succeed in taking possession of other stars whose laws are entirely different to those on Earth and which therefore also exclude the possibility that you humans can 'live' there, after all, the living conditions differ on each heavenly body and are only suitable for the beings living there and correspond to their spiritual state .... Every law is known to Me alone as well as to all spirits of light who receive this knowledge from Me .... But you humans will only know everything when you have entered the kingdom of light and your thinking is no longer limited ....

Amen

The grace of life on earth as a human being ....

B.D. 7958 from August 5th 1961, taken from Book No. 83

Every human soul is a fallen original spirit which is close to its perfection, i.e., whose path is only a short one left until unification with Me, provided that it is in the last stage of development .... as a human being .... turns his free will towards Me, that he thus professes Me again, Whom he once refused to acknowledge. And every human soul has an infinitely long path of development behind it, because this was necessary in order to emerge from the bottomless abyss, to ascend to the height where it originally dwelled .... In this stage as a human being the soul is also again receptive to a light, i.e., it can again gain a degree of knowledge which it had lost when it fell away from Me .... For the soul is self-aware, it can think and want again as in the beginning, only to a weak degree, but it can increase it during its earthly life .... The degree of realization is also decisive for the soul when it has left its existence as a human being and now enters the spiritual kingdom, for this degree of realization signifies light, without which the soul can never be blissfully happy. The human being himself can acquire a high degree of light during his earthly existence, he can be far advanced in realization if he uses his earthly existence to shape his nature into love, which was his original state and which absolutely has to be attained again in order to be able to dwell in the spiritual kingdom in blissful union with Me. This transformation into love is the work which the human being has to accomplish himself but which he can also do because he is granted help in every way. But at the beginning of his embodiment the human being's nature is still in perverse love as a result of his fall into sin in the spiritual kingdom and also of the renewed fall into sin of the first human beings .... Ego love dominates him, and this is to be changed into unselfish neighbourly love. For this purpose the human being is on earth, or also: The fallen original spirit must accomplish this transformation to love in free will itself, so that it achieves its divinisation and can now create and work in union with Me in freedom, light and strength .... And this transformation into love is the purpose of earthly life and no being can be spared, for it is at the same time the being's passed test of will .... It is the evidence of the being's divinity, which emerged from Me and was created perfect but now has to strive for this perfection in free will itself in order to be able to exist next to Me as a divine being, in order to be able to dwell with Me as 'My child', from Whom it once originated as a 'creature' .... The divinisation of the beings created by Me was and is My aim which I will certainly achieve but the duration of which is determined by the being itself. And once it has reached the stage as a human being it is close to its aim, and the human being should now make every effort to make good use of the last short period of time for its final perfection. He should acquire the knowledge of his purpose of earthly life, of all correlations and of My will, for the fulfilment of My will is working in love, and working in love also brings him light .... knowledge which corresponds to truth, knowledge which gives him full realization and which impels him to only pursue the aim of perfecting himself on earth, to shape his nature into love and thereby always establish the bond with Me, which is then indissoluble and the attainment of the aim is now also assured. The human being should also evaluate his self-awareness, i.e. think about himself, and then I will always be at his side, I will guide his thoughts correctly and I Myself will support him in every way so that he will reach his aim. Yet one day his remorse will be bitter if he lets the time on earth pass by unused and knows about the endless course of development before .... Yet as a human being he must not be given the recollection because then a life of free will would be impossible, because he would then live in fear and thus under a certain compulsion and his will and actions could not be judged as a free decision of will .... You should never forget that earthly life as a human being is a grace which you only need to use correctly in order to become blessed ....

Amen

Conclusion of earthly progress only with Jesus Christ ....

B.D. 7959 from August 6th 1961, taken from Book No. 83

You have come a long way already but the fact that you are still walking on earth is proof that you have not yet concluded your path of development .... with the exception of those who incarnated on earth for the purpose of a spiritual mission and whose souls had thus previously covered this progress of development and had found admission in the realm of light .... But I speak to you humans who are not yet perfect, who had once deserted Me and had to walk this long path of development so that you can now, at the human stage, voluntarily take the last test of will, the passing of which will ensure your entry into the realm of light. Hence you are not yet perfect but you have ascended from the deepest depths to the heights, if only by law of compulsion .... The depths had to release you because My will had intended this long path for you which pulled you away from My adversary's domination, or your ascent would have been impossible .... But now he has been given his right once again because you are still his property since you had previously followed him into the abyss voluntarily and this free will has not yet made the new decision: for him or for Me, Who longs for your return but will not force you if you willingly want to stay with him.

Thus, at the human stage, My adversary once again applies his power by influencing your will but he is unable to force it as you have to decide of your own accord which lord you will choose. However, I cannot stop him using all his persuasions to chain you to him .... I cannot stop him from using ploys to tempt you, only to keep your soul or to regain it if he has already lost it .... You now have to face him yourselves voluntarily and fight against him if you want to free yourselves from him. And you really need not fear his strength because you have a strong Helper by your side Whom you only need to ask to win the battle with Him: Jesus Christ, your Redeemer from sin and death .... Even though you, as a human being, have already overcome the deepest abyss, even though you, thanks to My help, have also come considerably closer to Me during the infinitely long period of development .... yet the burden of your original sin as a result of your desertion from Me, constantly pushes you down again and you would never be able to resist the will of My adversary if Jesus Christ would not help you, if He would not give you an intensified will which He Himself acquired for you by His death on the cross.

My adversary's power over you is too great that you could resist it with your own strength .... But you are guaranteed a supply of strength by just giving yourselves to Jesus Christ and requesting Him to take upon Himself the guilt of which you are not yet released and which therefore inescapably chains you to My adversary .... Jesus Christ, in Whom I manifested Myself, will now take on the guilt because, with His death on the cross, He paid the purchase price for all souls to the adversary who now has to release the souls, if they want it themselves .... And with His help you can conclude the path of your earthly life, with His help you can become free of all guilt and enter through the gate into the realm of light, which otherwise is closed to you, but which will be opened by Jesus Christ for all souls who have voluntarily decided to take the path to the cross to liberate themselves from the burden of sin. As a human being on earth you only have a short time at your disposal but it is sufficient to completely release yourselves from every form, however, this always depends on the human being's attitude towards the Divine Redeemer Jesus Christ .... because your former sin consisted of your rejection of Me and in the resistance of My strength of love .... In Jesus Christ, however, you shall know and acknowledge Me Myself, then you will also consciously accept My strength of love again and then nothing will stand in the way of your unity with Me .... Then the infinite long walk through the creations of earth and as earthly human being will have led to the right goal .... it will have resulted in your liberation and you will once again be candidates for My kingdom which will admit you and offer you blessings as it was in the beginning ....

Amen

Cosmos .... Illumination of stars ....

B.D. 7960 from August 7th 1961, taken from Book No. 83

Cast all your worries upon the Lord .... I Am truly your Father to Whom you should talk to as My children when you are downhearted, in a spiritual or earthly way. I said to you Myself 'Come unto Me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest ....' And I will truly take every worry from you because I love you .... My love for you wants to prove itself time and again, so that you will reciprocate it and thus return to Me. For once you rejected My love, and therefore I constantly pursue your love which will bring you back to Me. In order to gain your love I will also let you experience difficulties at times, which should make you call upon Me, then you will gratefully accept My help and recognise the all-merciful Father in Me, Who is manifestly present to you and your hearts will lovingly turn to Him .... And that is all I strive for .... Accept the spiritual proclamations as they are offered to you, for they come from the kingdom of light and will truly not cause darkness. However, that which does not enlighten you, which leaves you in the dark, need not come from the kingdom of darkness, because I repel these forces when they want to express themselves. Yet it will always be possible for Me to enlighten your spirit providing you unreservedly believe that only truth can come forth from Me and that you will therefore also write down everything that was conveyed to you .... (relates to proclamation 7955) .... The will for truth guarantees the same, and even if a person's maturity has not yet reached the highest degree, I will nevertheless be satisfied with his will for truth in order to protect him from error. And although you humans think that you can conduct scientific research .... the laws in the universe are not yet completely known to you, for this reason you will also have to accept something that appears to be absurd if it is explained to you by Me Myself, for your alleged 'facts' are only 'assumptions' which can be disputed. The Sun's range of illumination is limited by law, because the heavenly bodies are more or less hardened spiritual substance, that is, material creations. And the harder the spiritual substance is, the more immature the spirits these creations shelter are and the more they also prevent the illumination. Thus rays of light will not reach them, because it is the law of eternity that resistance reduces the radiance of My light of love or even neutralises it entirely .... The law is not known to you humans, yet it takes effect in the universe, with other words: Everything in the universe is subject to this law, therefore it determines the spiritual state of maturity of the various stars and, for their inhabitants, also the degree of illumination and the degree of resistance of light. Thus the Sun can shine with brightest intensity and yet stars can repel its radiance or reject it on account of the unspiritual state both the works of creation as well as their inhabitants find themselves in .... This is particularly the case with the Moon, which can be considered a star of lowest-developed spiritual beings even in its consistency .... It is not excluded from the illumination by the Sun, yet it does not always allow for its effect .... Yet even the beings inhabiting the Moon are capable of changing, on account of which their state is not always the same and thus the Sun's influence on the star also varies .... These are always ever spiritual explanations, but they can nevertheless also result in understanding earthly processes, but which the scientists on earth will not include in their investigations and therefore also look for earthly-understandable explanations which are, however, not entirely free from error. Yet you should grant credence to My Word that you humans will never get to the bottom of it, for the Earth is one of the tiniest creations in the universe, and its inhabitants still have far too little knowledge about the correlations as to be able to fathom the universe with all My works of creation which I control and direct in My love, wisdom and power and which I let arise as a means of returning the spirits to Me which, having once fallen away from Me, also lost all light, all knowledge, and will only regain these when they have concluded the process through Creation and then be brightly enlightened as well ....

Fight against ego love ....

B.D. 7961 from August 8th 1961, taken from Book No. 83

Anyone who has overcome himself to such an extent that he is willing to make sacrifices for the sake of his neighbour has victoriously passed the battle against selfish love, and the neighbourly love strengthened in him will certainly lead him to perfection. Yet the battle against selfish love is difficult, it requires a strong will to overcome oneself if the human being is not driven to love from within by the dormant spiritual spark within him, which is part of divine love which is always willing to give. Then it will also be easy for the human being to carry out works of love, for then his being is already filled with love .... he follows the urging of the spirit within him, his being itself will become love, and he will also fulfil his purpose of earthly life .... Ego love will become ever smaller and the giving, gratifying love will fill him more and more; he will enter his earthly life (his original state) again, which was pure love. But where self-love is still strong and the human being is made aware of the divine commandments of love, the human being's will can strive to do what is right before God in His eyes .... He can therefore consciously fight against self-love, he can carry out planned works of love .... less driven from within than in the will to fulfil God's commandments .... Then it will certainly be a struggle at first, but that good will will let him emerge victorious from this struggle, for he will receive much support from God .... he will experience strengthening of his will, and again and again he will be offered opportunities to be lovingly active .... And he will acquire reciprocal love, and this will touch him inwardly and strengthen his will to love. And now the urge to be lovingly active will also become noticeable in him, he will not resist, and he will have passed the battle and his soul will mature. And thus the will's turning towards God is decisive .... This will will always express itself or prove itself through the fulfilment of His will .... Where the spirit in the human being can express itself early on, the human being will also be recognizable through loving activity, through a helpful, friendly nature which is always willing to serve. Then the divine little spark of love in the human being's heart can develop into a bright-igniting flame, and that means increased helpfulness and joyful service in love .... But the human being can also feel addressed by the word of God which is conveyed to him and which contains the divine commandments of love. He can believe that God requires love for Him and his neighbour, and then he can intellectually agree and make an effort to live as prescribed by God's commandments .... Yet his will must always already be turned towards God, otherwise even those teachings will not touch him and he will not feel addressed in any way when love for God and his neighbour is preached. It is certainly possible that he changes his mind through great need of his fellow human being and is ready to help. And then the fight against self-love begins, which costs a lot of effort and does not always end in victory. Yet such people with hardened hearts can be greatly helped if they themselves are shown much unselfish love which is capable of awakening love in return .... if they are helped out of hardship in a selfless way, if they are repeatedly offered love which they will feel charitably and which can also change their nature .... For the divine spark glows in every human heart, and as soon as it succeeds in appealing to it, it works itself from within with great strength .... Yet again and again the divine teaching of love should be proclaimed to people, they should know about God's will, and they should also experience the effect of a life of love as well as know about the failure of earthly life, that they can only become blissfully happy through love and that they therefore have to fight against self-love, because this is a wrongly directed love which hinders the human being's perfection, because it is the inheritance of the one who is devoid of all love and who is therefore also wretched until he, too, will change, until his nature has become love again, as it was in the beginning ....

The immeasurable love of Jesus ....

B.D. 7962 from August 9th 1961, taken from Book No. 83

When I walked across the earth I, as a human being, recognized humanity's great adversity because love was powerful in Me and thereby there was also brightest light in Me about the cause of the adversity, about the state people were in and also that they were bound by a power which was evil and wanted to plunge people into ruin .... The love within Me gave Me this realization, and the love within Me decided to make a sacrifice for humanity which was languishing in deepest adversity .... By virtue of My love I decided to engage in an open battle with the adversary, as a human being I wanted to prove to him that My love was a strength by means of which I could defeat him. I wanted to use My love against his hatred .... And this greater than great love of Mine was to redeem people from his power .... I knew about the cause of human existence, about the beings' past apostasy from God, because the love within Me gave Me this realization. And thus I also knew that only 'love' could bring them salvation from their state of adversity .... And thus My efforts as the 'human being Jesus' were first of all to present the divine teaching of love to My fellow human beings and to encourage them to live a life of love so that they could acquire strength to resist My adversary .... And I exemplified a life of love to them and then crowned this life of love with My death on the cross .... I offered a sacrifice of love to the father for My fellow human beings and through this sacrifice bought people's souls free from their dungeon master .... I paid the debt with My life .... Only love was able to make such a sacrifice, and love was in Me .... The father Himself, the eternal love, filled Me, the eternal love Himself thus redeemed the guilt which the spiritual had loaded upon itself when it fell, when it followed the adversary into the depth .... The former fall into the abyss, the separation from God, had only been possible because the beings had renounced love, because they did not accept the father's illumination of love .... People had to become love again, and because they no longer had the strength to do so I acquired this willpower for them through My death on the cross and redeemed them from their weakened state .... And now they were able to free themselves from the adversary's power, for they now received strength from Me as the divine redeemer, because they were now also able to live a life of love, because after My act of salvation they were now able to receive the illumination of love again, which constantly flows from Me as the eternal love to all beings which open themselves to receive it .... As a human being I recognized the great need of My fellow human beings .... I also knew this as an angelic spirit emanating from the father and offered Myself to descend to earth and bring the children back to the father again .... I offered Myself to serve eternal love as a human shell so that "love" could accomplish the work of redemption .... But I first also took the path as a human being across this earth, for a human being's free will should declare itself ready for this work of mercy, because a human being had to take unspeakable suffering upon Himself as atonement, since 'God' cannot suffer but a great sacrifice of atonement was necessary for the sake of justice in order to redeem the great original sin. But I came to earth with a heart full of love, and My life on earth was an unceasing activity of love, for love was the strength which people, however, lacked, which is why I preached the divine teaching of love and repeatedly admonished people to follow Me .... Yet until I had accomplished the act of salvation the adversary's power was still too great and the human being was weakened to the utmost .... For this reason a saviour had to come Who liberated them from his power, for this reason 'love' had to accomplish a work through which the adversary was defeated .... A person's love had to resist him and thus win the battle against him, for the adversary was no match for love, and thus he had to let go of the souls which gave themselves to divine love, which acknowledged Me and My act of salvation, which thus voluntarily wanted to return to Me and entered My flow of love again .... And this work of salvation has been accomplished, and thus every person can free himself from the adversary's power who claims the blessings of the act of salvation, who acknowledges Me and My act of salvation, who asks Me for forgiveness of guilt and for strengthening of his will of love .... For he will be able to follow Me, he will be able to lead a way of life like Mine, and the love he now practices will impart strength to him so that he successfully covers his earthly path .... that he only strives towards Me Myself as the eternal love and that he finds unity with Me and returns to his father's house, from which he once distanced himself of his own free will and therefore also has to accomplish the return of his own free will. Yet this return can only take place through love, and therefore I also preached love when I lived on earth and sent My disciples out to proclaim the divine teaching of love to all peoples of the earth .... For only love sets you free from the power of the one who is devoid of all love and therefore My adversary, which he will also remain until My act of salvation is finally completed .... until all spiritual beings have returned to Me and there can then eternally be no more death ....

Amen

‘Eye has not seen .... ’

B.D. 7963 from August 10th 1961, taken from Book No. 83

I have no other goal but to make you happy, to bestow the glories of My kingdom upon you, to let you see what no eye has ever seen, to give you infinite pleasure .... and to draw you to My heart as My children, because My love for you is beyond measure .... And one day I will certainly achieve this goal. Nevertheless, infinitely long periods of time can still pass by, because it is necessary .... that you, too, grant Me your love, that you voluntarily desire to return to Me from Whom you once originated .... And therefore I constantly seek to attract your love as well, I try to inform you of My nature, which is profoundly perfect, so that I will also gain your love when you recognise My nature correctly .... This is why I reveal Myself to you .... I provide you with the evidence that I exist, and I give you an explanation about My nature, My reign and activity, My eternal plan of Salvation .... I unveil a picture before your eyes which you can, and indeed will, love if only you open your eyes and accept this image in your heart .... And so that you can recognise Me correctly, I speak to you .... You humans are still spiritually blind and therefore unable to form an accurate concept of Me, your God and Creator, Who wants to be your Father .... As a result of your past fall from Me into the abyss you lost all realisation and at the start of your human existence you are still in this dark spiritual state .... So if I want to gain your love I must enlighten your spirit, I must grant you a small light which illuminates the image of your God and Creator for you, so that you will learn to recognise Me .... I must give you an explanation about your creation, your origin from a supremely perfect Being Which, although you were unable to behold It, nevertheless made you immensely happy .... I must inform you of what you had been, what you are and what you shall become again .... This knowledge shall therefore contribute that you will learn to recognise and love Me, that you will strive towards Me and would like to be united with Me again .... The goal during your life on earth is to exchange your state of darkness with a state of brightest light, in which the spirit in you, being a part of Me, can speak to you and enlighten you ever more brightly .... Then you will come ever closer to your God and Creator and will be able to attain the goal during your lifetime on earth: total unification with Me and thus also the bliss, which I want to bestow upon you in the abundance of My love .... In that case your final return has taken place; My courtship for your love was successful and My love can now make you happy, and you will be able to behold Me face to face .... For now I have become a visible God in Jesus Christ for you and your desire, which once persuaded you to turn away from Me to the one whom you acknowledged as a visible God but who became My adversary because he revolted against Me, has been granted. Due to your apostasy from Me you were separated from Me for an infinitely long time in a state of wretchedness .... But now you can behold Me Myself in all power and glory, for in Jesus Christ I became a visible God for you .... And your bliss will be without end, you will constantly yearn for Me and My presence and your desire will always be granted .... And what no eye has seen and no ear has heard, that is what I have prepared for those who love Me .... because My infinite love is for you, My children, for all eternity.

Amen

Bond with God guarantees ascent ....

B.D. 7964 from August 11th 1961, taken from Book No. 83

The human being on earth who walks his earthly path in constant contact with Me and whom I can therefore guide Myself, as it serves his soul best, will be able to record a tremendous ascent. It cannot be soon enough to establish the bond with Me, for his will will then have turned to Me of its own accord and given Me the right to look after him as My share, to send him strength and grace without My adversary being able to prevent this, who has now lost his right to this soul. Nevertheless, he does not cease again and again to influence the human being's will in order to win him back. But every thought which now applies to Me gives Me the right to push it away from the human being. Once a being has freely decided in favour of Me I will no longer let it fall into My adversary's hands, it just cannot be spared battles since these contribute towards the soul's maturing and constantly push it towards Me anew so that My strength can take effect in it, for every bond with Me also signifies an overflow of My strength of love, it signifies constant ascent upwards. However, establishing the right bond with Me will always be a matter of the heart; this bond is not established by acknowledging and affirming with the mouth, which is easily possible if people are certainly taught about a God and creator in their earliest youth and they only accept these teachings intellectually, they don't contradict them and thus believe in Him. Then the heart has not yet spoken, and only the heart's speech is valid before Me. Then the prayers will only be spoken with the lips but they will not be prayers in spirit and in truth, they will not be addressed to Me from within and therefore I will not hear them either .... The right bond only takes place when the heart speaks, when the human being's thoughts seek Me and want to communicate with Me, when the human being speaks to Me like a child to its father, when it knows no inhibitions yet surrenders to Me in profound humility that I may look after and guide it, that I may take care of it forever and ever .... The right bond with Me is truly already an entry into the spiritual kingdom, for the human being's thoughts wander into a completely different realm than the one where he physically lives .... And he acknowledges Me or he would not unite with Me in thought or prayer. And thus he has also passed the test of will, for once the being fell away from Me because it did not want to acknowledge Me as its God and creator .... The only thing that matters in earthly life is that the being returns to Me again of its own free will .... And the sooner it acknowledges Me the sooner I can also have a direct effect on the human being, give him strength of resistance against My adversary and support him in every way so that he covers the path of ascent .... that the soul works on itself with success, that it spiritualizes all immature substances still clinging to it so that it departs from earth clear and loud and can then be permeated by light and strength in the kingdom of the beyond. It needs strength for this purification process, for My adversary will constantly try to prevent it from living in My will, but this strength also constantly flows to it, or it can flow to it, because it repeatedly unites with Me and thereby can receive strength .... because this strength is divine strength of love which will also stimulate it into constant activity of love, and because then its transformation into love will also take place, which signifies spiritual perfection, spiritual progress, for the purpose of which the human being lives on earth. However, this spiritual progress is impossible without the influx of strength from Me, and the influx of strength necessitates a close bond with Me .... therefore you can consider yourselves blessed if you acknowledge Me in your heart and send your thoughts to Me .... For I seize you and then will never let you fall again, for then your return to Me is guaranteed, your free will has decided in favour of Me and you will never leave Me again, you are Mine and will remain so forever ....

Amen

About the "working of the spirit" ....

B.D. 7965 from August 12th 1961, taken from Book No. 83

I want to be recognized as the origin of the word which comes to you from above through the working of My spirit .... And therefore you should mention the unusual process through which you came into possession of extensive spiritual knowledge without external earthly aids .... I want you humans to know that I speak to you directly in intimate contact if certain prerequisites are present: a living faith in Me, which was gained through a life of love, and a conscious inward listening, that you open your spiritual ear to the address which now happens through My spirit, through My share, which expresses itself in you, which instructs you and initiates you into the deepest secrets .... that My word thus resounds in you, that you hear Me Myself in you .... This process is only believable to a few people, otherwise all would accept My word .... And thus "My spirit works", i.e., it expresses itself to you .... he "introduces you to the truth ...." You who now hear My word, who receive it directly from Me, you can now pass it on again, and anyone who listens to it or reads it in intimate union with Me will also feel the strength of My word, he will be able to register increasing maturity of soul as an 'effect of My word', for I was also able to address him, albeit indirectly through My messengers. But anyone who pays no attention to this word, who denies Me Myself as its origin, does not recognize the 'working of the spirit', he knows nothing of the fact that “I Myself work in him who believes ...." I have "promised" you humans My spirit, I have told you that I will remain with you until the end of the world .... For I Myself am the word, and thus I am always with those in the word who want to hear Me and believe. The belief that I express Myself, that I speak to you directly, is what I require in order to be able to speak to you .... And I ask you: Where is this faith still to be found? Are not the doubts far greater that you have about 'My word'? .... and yet I have told you: "out of your body will flow rivers of living water ...." My word will resound in you yourselves, the influx of My divine light of love will fill your heart when you yourselves prepare it to be the receptacle of the divine spirit .... For the spiritual spark in you is My share, and thus it also knows everything and can therefore also instruct you from within .... And this influx of the divine spirit into an open vessel, into a person's heart, is the 'working of God in the human being', Who can then divest Himself of that which serves you for perfection, and thus you cannot go astray either if you have entered into this intimate bond with Me, so that I can address you as evidence of My presence. Then you will not hear human words but God's word .... Who works in you who believe .... And then you must also stand in truth, because only pure truth can come forth from Me .... And if I then give you the task to spread My word because people need the pure truth, then I therefore want fellow human beings to also experience the effect of My word on their souls, because My word is blessed with My strength and because all of you humans receive something delicious which cannot be replaced by anything, for it is a direct gift of My love, I Myself lean down to you and address you, directly or indirectly .... but it is always My word, My address, which you hear when you accept the gift of grace offered to you .... And truly, your soul will experience great blessings, it will mature, for the strength of My word will make the ascent to the height easy for it and it will reach its aim .... it will unite with Me still on earth and be able to enter the kingdom of light and bliss ....

Amen

Paradise state on new earth ....

B.D. 7966 from August 13th 1961, taken from Book No. 83

I want to establish a new kingdom, a kingdom where I alone rule, where My adversary is eliminated for a long time, where there is peace and order again, where only love rules and thus I Myself can be with people because their state of love allows it and because they have passed their test of faith and will and now belong to Me for time and eternity. And in this kingdom there will be order again for a long time, for love is the fundamental principle of divine order, and where love reigns everything will also take place in accordance with My will .... And thus the spiritual substances, which are still bound in form, will also develop more quickly, because they feel love around them and therefore also give up their resistance more quickly in order to reach the final transformation as a human being. And this kingdom will therefore be on the new earth when My work of transformation has taken place, when all creations of the old earth have been dissolved and changed into new creations through My will, when the paradise of the new earth has been created and will receive My own who have endured until the end. The process of the destruction of the old earth will still be apparent to them because I want them to proclaim My might and glory to their descendants, and because they themselves shall then be blessed by being transferred to the new earth as the reward for all suffering they previously had to endure for the sake of their faith. And they will forget all suffering and hardship in view of the splendour and glory which will shine towards them on the new earth in all works of creation .... And I Myself will be in the midst of My own because their great love allows this .... A new period of redemption begins, for much of the spiritual is still unredeemed and still bound in those creations .... And even if people are no longer under the spell of evil, the following human generations will nevertheless also have to pass their test of will on earth, only My adversary cannot have an effect on them as long as love is highly developed in people, thus as long as their hearts beat towards Me in the divine redeemer Jesus Christ and therefore they do not sin either but are redeemed from their original sin through Jesus Christ .... And love is exceedingly strong in people who will animate the new earth in the beginning, and it will burn ever more fiercely towards Me because I Myself can delight them with My presence and will instruct them at all times through My messengers of light with whom people will have direct contact and therefore also be exceedingly blissful. Earth's paradise is ushering in a new time, for the spiritual and earthly turning point has been accomplished .... And it will be a time of peace where there will be no enmity, neither with human beings nor with the animal world. Everything will live in harmony with each other and hardship and misery will be eliminated, there will be no illness, and even death will only be a painless transition into the spiritual kingdom; the soul will only change its abode, yet without suffering and fear, for it has lived a life in and with God and will now enter My kingdom, it will discard its earthly body in order to be able to dwell freely and exhilarated wherever it wants .... But always in the kingdom of light and bliss .... And this blissful time lies ahead of you, and all of you can be candidates and belong to My own who are allowed to inhabit paradise on earth, only you have to stand firm in the last battle of faith, you have to persevere until the end .... And truly, your lot in the paradise of the new earth will be a glorious one, for I Myself am with those who remain faithful to Me, and My nearness is your bliss ....

Amen

Radiance of the divine light of love into mature vessels ....

B.D. 7967 from August 14th 1961, taken from Book No. 83

My flow of love-light flows to all beings which open themselves and have also attained the maturity that they can accept the flow of light and strength within themselves without being consumed by it. Hence it is always beings of light which accept light and strength from Me in order to pass on light and strength, for immature spiritual beings deny access to the light and strength from Me. But every being can spiritualize itself and make itself capable of being permeated by My flow of love, and this is the task of people on earth who, at the beginning of their embodiment, do not yet possess the degree of maturity to be able to receive My light and My strength in abundance. However, to receive light and strength from Me means bliss, and I want to prepare this bliss for all people who walk the earth .... I want to constantly feed them with My flow of love light, just as all spiritual beings full of light are constantly flooded and are therefore blissfully happy .... Yet I usually encounter resistance .... the being which walks across the earth embodied as a human being still defends itself against Me, and forcibly it cannot be flooded by My light of love .... Yet rays are sent to it which sometimes also have the strength to touch the human being's heart, and then the resistance diminishes .... Receivers of light and strength are sent to him .... that is, beings of light from the spiritual kingdom or also on earth .... will send them these rays in the form of My word, which will be brought close to people in some way and can also have an effect on them if the resistance is not too great. And these rays can cause the human being to open himself voluntarily .... that he desires to enter My flow of love, that he feels My word as light and strength and desires to be addressed by Me more often .... And then My flow of love light can flow through him, then he opens himself and works on himself and also makes himself receptive .... it accepts light and strength from Me directly, and it has now become, as it were, a reservoir of light and strength which can let its contents flow out again. And every human heart can receive light and strength from Me which merely desires it and gives up its previous defensive position .... which therefore now voluntarily enters My flow of love and opens its heart to receive Me .... And this is your earthly life task, for you are weak, lightless beings when you enter the earth as a human being, but the light and strength is at your unlimited disposal .... Therefore you will be instructed again and again by the will of the one Who called you into life .... You are inspired to believe in a supremely perfect being to Whom you owe your existence, and you are requested to establish contact with this being so that It can make you happy, because you emerged from the love of that perfect being .... And once this has been presented to you it is up to you, up to your will, whether you want to let yourselves be bestowed by Me, whether you want to accept light and strength from Me, for you must now voluntarily open your heart and let yourselves be illuminated; you must accept the love which wants to flow through you again, as it was in the beginning. My flow of love constantly seeks vessels into which it can flow, but these vessels must also be so prepared, i.e., the human being himself must have ignited the love within himself which displaces everything impure and which allows the human being to mature so that he can now receive My illumination of love and his soul will now spiritualize itself .... that I can now fill it with light and strength and that it now serves Me again as a station of strength and light which receives and sends out as it is My will, so that everything is flooded with light which is still in the dark area but gives up its inner defence as soon as the rays of light beneficially touch it. Light and strength is bliss, which you once forfeited and which you must voluntarily accept again in order to attain bliss .... And you will always be allowed to receive the light and strength you desire .... For My flow of love-light will constantly flow out into infinity, and all beingness can shape itself as a receiving vessel if it spiritualizes itself, if it offers no resistance as soon as it is touched by rays of love .... And My infinite love radiates everything because it wants to win you back and this is only possible if you also accept My love, if you open yourselves in free will and My love can then become effective on you ....

Amen

Purpose of need: Bonding with God ....

B.D. 7968 from August 15th 1961, taken from Book No. 83

You will be guided through all hardship and visibly experience My love and care. Yet hardship is indispensable and you are approaching a time which will be difficult for everyone who does not devote himself to Me with complete faith, who does not entrust himself to Me and appeal for My help. Yet My own will not feel this time of adversity so much because I take care of them .... And again and again I announce the adversity to you, for it is therefore inevitable because I want to offer you another opportunity where you can turn to Me and call upon Me, for this bond with Me is your salvation; both earthly as well as spiritually it will only be a blessing for you if you remember your God and creator and try to approach Him. As long as you walk alone, without Me, on this earth, every day is useless for your salvation of soul, for your spiritual development .... You will not take a single step forward, and your earthly life may have been an idle run for you if you don't enter into a bond with Me before your death and then your soul will be saved from darkness when you lose your physical life and enter the kingdom of the beyond. And there are only a few who find their way to Me even in a time of good living conditions .... Only a great adversity can bring it about that people remember Me and call to Me .... And this adversity comes for the sake of it, after all, it is far more bearable than the great spiritual adversity which awaits those who do not find their way to Me. But My own can confidently look forward to the coming time, for the bond with Me will lift them above all difficulties, and every thought they turn to Me will give them strength, and they will also work for Me by trying to point their fellow human beings to the saviour and helper from every adversity .... Who lets suffering come upon you humans, Who can truly also turn it away from you .... But you must confess Him .... you must always know that every turn towards Me is a turning away from My adversary .... And this is the only thing I want to achieve, and thus if adversity drives you towards Me then it was truly a blessing for you, for then you will also be released from the enemy of your souls who will bring far greater adversity upon you if you don't detach yourselves from him. And detachment from him can only be possible by turning to Me, because your will alone is decisive as to who may now take possession of you. But I can help you out of every adversity and visibly grant you My help .... Therefore nevertheless believe in a God of love, even if this God allows suffering and adversity .... For I am only ever concerned about your salvation, about the life of the soul which lasts forever and does not end with the death of the body. And so that the soul does not need to suffer in eternity it must sometimes bear increased suffering on earth but it will always be a blessing for it if it contributes towards entering into a bond with Me, its God and creator of eternity. I want to win you as long as you still live on earth, and I also have to use means which seem cruel and unkind to you but which only ever aim for your salvation, your bliss in the spiritual kingdom .... Just always trustingly pray to Me and truly, you will be guided through all adversities of body and soul, you will feel that your father cares for you, that He will give you what you need earthly and spiritually and that you will also recognize His presence in every event .... For I will always be with My own, with those who turn their thoughts towards Me, who remain united with Me in love and prayer ....

Amen

The redeeming power of love ....

B.D. 7969 from August 16th 1961, taken from Book No. 83

Every human being contributes to the redemption of the spiritual who lives in love, for he will also constantly radiate love to his surroundings, be it fellow human beings or also the spiritual which is still bound in form, which feels every irradiation of love beneficially and also matures because it gives up resistance, which love always achieves. For love is a power that does not remain without effect. Love awakens reciprocal love, and people and animals will gladly join those who radiate love ..... It can therefore also be deliberate missionary work .... that is, conscious vineyard work .... can only be carried out successfully if love is the impetus for it, otherwise the 'redeeming' of souls is called into question, because love alone has redeeming strength. People must recognize the spiritual hardship and want to remedy it; they must know that help must be brought to the souls which are still unredeemed, be it on earth or in the beyond, and love must impel them to carry out conscious redemptive work .... Then their work in the vineyard of the lord will also be blessed. But if a person lives in love, if his way of life is a continuous activity of love, then he unconsciously does redeeming work; he spiritualizes himself, thus all his spiritual substances, and places his soul into the state of maturity which is the purpose and aim of his earthly life .... But he also contributes towards the spiritual maturing of those who dwell in his surroundings, for they, too, cannot resist the irradiation of love in the long run if an open counteraction is not recognizable through people who are in bondage to God's adversary. But even these will withdraw because they are no match for the weapon of love .... Yet where love determines a person's way of life there can never be a relapse into the abyss, for love urges towards eternal love, love is the divine in the human being which can never remain without effect and this effect always signifies redemption of the immature spiritual, irrespective of whether it is on and in the human being himself or also in his surroundings, which also includes souls in the beyond which, attracted by the strength of love, stay close to him and likewise feel the flow of love as strength. A person who lives in love is recognizable to those souls through his light radiation, and he is therefore constantly surrounded by such souls who want to escape from darkness .... This will also makes the light of love effective, they receive strength which again helps them to also be active on other souls by also seeking to snatch them from darkness .... What they feel charitably they also want to impart to other souls who are in the same need .... And thus a redeemer's work is unconsciously done only through a life of love .... However, it is good if people know about this and also consciously want to participate in this redeemer's work by giving themselves to their God and father and appeal to Him for His blessing .... that they also offer themselves to Him to be active in His vineyard according to His will. And a life of love will also result in increased spiritual knowledge for the human being, his thinking will be guided correctly, the human being will take care of those who are still in the bonds of sin, who have little or no faith and whose hardship he can recognize. If he now consciously places himself at God's service that he is active as a proclaimer of the gospel, of the divine teaching of love, then God's blessing will also be assured to him, he will fulfil his earthly task, he will do successful work as a labourer in God's vineyard, and this success will always be in accordance with the degree of love which fills him, because love is the redeeming strength, because love also banishes the adversary who flees it, because it is divine emanation ....

Catastrophe .... Antichrist .... Battle of faith .... End ....

B.D. 7970 from August 18th 1961, taken from Book No. 83

What will still take place before the end of the earth can only ever be announced as something extremely difficult and sorrowful for humanity, for God's voice will sound everywhere, albeit in entirely different ways .... For where His Words of love are ignored He will manifest Himself more clearly; there will be suffering and adversity in all places, accidents and catastrophes will alternate with natural occurrences, where the elements threaten and destroy life .... And all this is God's working or His permission to disturb people and make them aware of the real purpose of their earthly lives. And where people are united with Him the hardship will be easier to bear, since He will not abandon His Own even though they are in the midst of these happenings and unable to avoid the immense adversity during the last days before the end.

And you all only need to take notice of what happens around you and in the world, for they are visible warning signs and always recognisable to the believer as God's intervention or permission, because you were foretold that you will have to endure severe hardship and affliction before the end. All the signs which were predicted for the end are recognisable; yet you humans always want to see it in the distant future, you don't want to believe that the time of the end has come. But you have also been told that the time will be shortened for the sake of those who want to believe and stand firm. And thus everything will happen in very quick succession .... The affliction and hardship, the battle of faith and the Antichrist's fury .... which will emerge only too clearly, and this alone should make the end time credible to you. For the people who are enslaved by him will surpass each other in evilness, hatred, lies and vindictiveness, craving for power and tyrannies will clearly identify his actions, and people will support him because they agree with his will and ruthlessly proceed against their fellow human beings who still believe and want to remain faithful to God.

And these will receive exceptional protection and strength, for God will stay with His Own and lead them through all adversity and difficulties. And blessed is he who recognises the time and entrusts himself to the only One, Who can protect him in every hardship .... blessed is he who believes .... blessed is he who lets Him speak to him and constantly receives strength from Him .... For even this difficult time will come to an end and the fate of those who endure to the end will be a blissful one. Sooner or later the power of God's adversary will be defeated, then he and his followers will be bound and there will be peace again on earth .... But not on this earth anymore because its end has come according to the law of eternity .... But it will emerge anew through God's might, and people who endure to the end will be relocated to the paradise of the new earth, because they believe in their God and Father Who will save them from utmost hardship and affliction .... For the time is fulfilled and the end comes as it is announced in Word and Scripture ....

The opponent seeks to extinguish the light ....

B.D. 7971 from August 19th 1961, taken from Book No. 83

No matter what My adversary may devise against you, as long as you are active on My behalf neither cunning nor trickery on his part will have any effect, for My strength is at your disposal, My love is with you and helps you in every affliction of body and soul. And this is your weapon, that your will is meant for Me, that you want to serve Me and that you take refuge in Me in prayer, that you maintain the bond with Me which ensures the constant influx of My strength and which gives Me the right to push My adversary away from you .... For he flees the light which shines from Me. Therefore he seeks to extinguish it, he seeks to hinder My bearers of light in their mission, he seeks to take action against the light and to dim it wherever he can. Yet the light itself reveals his nature, and therefore he is also always to be recognized .... even though he appears under a mask, even though he tries to cloak himself in the garment of an angel of light. But the light itself will strip him of his mask and he will have to flee, because the light from Me has great strength .... I look for vessels for Myself into which I can pour Myself out, into which I can pour My spirit for the salvation of humanity. And I protect these vessels from being used by My adversary, so that he too can empty himself and thus, as it were, the spiritual knowledge which emanates from Me is mixed with an adversary's influx .... I protect My spiritual knowledge and keep it pure and unadulterated as long as a human being serves Me as an instrument and thus as a receptacle for My flow of spirit .... And I know that humanity is in great spiritual distress because the pure truth is withheld from it, because My adversary is at work everywhere where people do not seriously strive towards Me, and because people therefore no longer take the right path which is shown to them by the truth .... My adversary prevents the knowledge of Jesus Christ and His act of salvation .... He prevents the knowledge of Him Who said: "I am the way, the truth and the life ...." And I want to bring this truth back to people, I want to show them the way so that they may attain life.... And thus I must also first give them the knowledge of Jesus Christ, in Whom I Myself accomplished the act of Salvation .... And this knowledge comes to you from above, I Myself convey it to earth, I speak to you always out of My love which wants to lead you to eternal life. My adversary, however, will lose you if I have won you for Me .... thus he will strive to keep you away from the divine redeemer Jesus Christ, he will try to undermine the truth, he will try to extinguish all light, because the light emanates from Me and leads to Me again. But My adversary is the prince of darkness, and he will always spread darkness wherever it is only possible due to the will of such people who themselves are indifferent towards the truth. Insofar as they desire the truth he cannot penetrate, for the light will shine brightly and chase him away. But if people themselves are lukewarm in their striving for the truth, then he has an easy game and will plunge them into ever greater darkness .... And therefore you should be vigilant and know that you will constantly be harassed by My adversary; but you should also know that you will be protected from all error if only you accept Me Myself .... as the eternal truth .... and if you want to serve Me as bearers of light, which I need on earth in order to be able to break through the darkness which the adversary has spread across the earth .... For those who serve Me are also cared for and protected by their father of the house .... And truly, My power is greater than the power of him who also once came forth from Me but gave up the light himself and sought darkness .... He may well tempt you humans, but he cannot force you .... He can go against the light but he cannot extinguish it because it emanates from Me and because he himself flees the light .... And the servants who want to serve Me recognize him and his activity, and they will deny him access because they themselves stand in the light and have bond with Me, as the eternal light. And he cannot break through this because he will be recognized before he can seriously work ....

Amen

Decision by predestined guidance or experience ....

B.D. 7972 from August 20th 1961, taken from Book No. 83

Know that every earthly or spiritual experience affecting your life is intended or permitted by Me. For every person's course of life is always determined by Me in accordance with his spiritual development. And thus everything can be in your best interest, you don't have to suffer if you accept everything from My hand and even humbly accept your burdens, for your correct attitude towards Me will also allow you to assess every event correctly and your soul will mature. The only purpose of earthly life is for your soul to mature .... And all earthly events, be they suffering or joy, will approach you in line with this purpose .... Any event is able to lead you closer to Me if it is your free will to find union with Me.

But My adversary also tries to win you for himself, and thus you will be faced by temptations on his part which I allow because he still has a claim on you, and he will equally influence you but never be able to force you, instead it remains up to your free will to what extent you allow yourselves to be influenced by him. Hence you make your own decision by consciously turning either to Me or to him. And you can make this decision in every situation; every experience, every stroke of fate, every pleasure and every affliction can impel you to make this decision. And if you know that nothing happens without My will or permission, then soon nothing will be able to worry you either .... for as soon as you turn your sights and thoughts towards Me, call Me to your side or commend yourselves to Me in prayer, you will mature spiritually and have achieved an advantage for your soul again.

All these are also tests of faith which you have to pass .... for My adversary will do anything to separate you from Me, to lessen or destroy your faith in a God and Father Who is always willing to lovingly help His children. He will always want to darken your spirit, he will try to spread darkness across you so that you no longer recognise Me as your loving Father of eternity .... And this is why he particularly tries to take precedence during misfortunes with the intention of causing reluctance and ill feeling in you .... And then you have to adamantly resist and know that everything I allow to come over you is beneficial for you, and that you only have to turn to Me in firm faith in order to banish even the most arduous adversity by handing everything over to Me, Who will truly help you to get out of every adversity. For My constant concern is only ever your return to Me ....

I want to tie you to Myself and not lose you, and therefore I will also always prove My love, and this love shall never be doubted by you. You have already travelled a long path which brought you ever closer to Me .... The last short stretch of the way requires great willpower by you, because you consciously have to turn to Me, to the pinnacle, whereas before you were drawn by My love .... But this love gives you even more, it does everything in order to guarantee your return to Me ....

Just grant Me your free will, strive towards Me in free will, don't let yourselves be enticed by the world which is My adversary's tool to win you over .... Believe in Me and My love, and in your heart long for the Father, and call upon Me in every adversity of body and soul .... And truly, every experience will only ever serve your ascent, for everything is based on My love and wisdom whatever you might encounter .... And rely on My love and My might, for I Am always willing to help if only you would call upon Me in your heart ....

Amen

Address to doubting "servants of God" ....

B.D. 7973 from August 21st 1961, taken from Book No. 83

"Out of your body will flow rivers of living water ...." This promise of Mine will be fulfilled when you receive My word, when the water of life flows to you from above, when I can speak to you directly and My spirit can pour into you .... For then you will truly become a source of life from which your fellow human beings can draw in order to refresh and strengthen their souls for their pilgrimage on earth. You humans usually have no understanding for this purely spiritual process which, however, is earthly-provable through the spiritual knowledge I was able to convey to earth through a suitable instrument .... For it was gained without external aids, it is the result of inner instruction through the spirit .... It is the evidence of the bond of the spiritual spark resting in the human being as My share with the father-spirit from eternity .... It is My word which sounds out in direct address to you humans who open your hearts and desire to be addressed by Me .... Yet how little do you humans know about this outpouring of the spirit; how little do you believe that 'My word' is conveyed to you when My messengers bring it to you, when they ask you to listen to a delicious spiritual gift which can only come forth from Me Myself and be offered to you .... How little do you yourselves do to let the flow of grace of My love flow into you, for you don't believe in such a visible expression on My part, and you don't understand the words of scripture either, otherwise it should be easy for you to believe .... But you entrench yourselves behind the words of scripture and deny that I express Myself again and again, you believe that My activity is concluded with the words of scripture .... you believe that you do not need any further word from Me .... yes, you presume to dictate to Me whether I may express Myself to people on earth .... you deny any revelations, although I Myself have said: "He who loves Me and keeps My commandments is the one I love .... to him I will reveal Myself ...." How do you read the scriptures which testify of Me? You certainly read the letter but you lack the spirit which introduces you to the truth .... and yet you feel called to instruct your fellow human beings. You also feel called to warn your fellow human beings to listen to Me Myself and My word when they are commanded to do so .... And you call yourselves 'servants of God' .... For these I address who want to portray My working as the working of My adversary and are themselves strongly under his influence .... For he who does not recognize Me is not Mine .... For My sheep recognize My voice and they follow it .... But again and again I will speak to people, again and again I will reveal Myself to people who believe in Me and desire to hear Me .... For it is the end time and My adversary works with cunning and force, and thus I will also work unusually for the blessing of humanity and alleviate or also remedy the great spiritual adversity where only the will is good, where only a heart opens and receives My gift of grace, and it will truly not be lost when the end has come ....

Amen

You will live forever ....

B.D. 7974 from August 24th 1961, taken from Book No. 83

You will live forever .... you will not lose this life anymore .... Is there a more enjoyable promise than that I want to give you eternal life and that you will thus be eternally happy? For life is blissfulness, because life is a state in freedom, light and strength, because 'life' is the state for which I have created you, which guarantees your perfection .... And this perfection will have been endeavoured towards by your own free will, otherwise no life would be possible, for prior to that you were in a state of death and only your free will was able to and can change this state of death into 'life' .... Furthermore, life means permanent union with Me, Who nourishes you with the necessary strength to live, which flows to you without restriction and will never again be limited .... Life is working and creating with Me and in My will .... and yet also in keeping with your will, for you have completely entered into My will because you are perfect, because you have become My images and will no longer think and want anything other than Myself and therefore you will also be incomparably happy.

And that is the final goal of the beings which once emerged from Me and My strength as living creations, which were indeed supremely perfect, since nothing imperfect can come forth from Me, but which voluntarily relinquished their perfection, fell away from Me and then had to travel an infinitely long path of development in order to achieve the highest level of perfection again, in order to thus return to Me, yet no longer as a 'living creation' but as 'My child', into which it will have voluntarily shaped itself through love .... which is indeed its fundamental substance because it came forth from My love, but which its free will had to arouse into the brightest of blazes .... but then eternal life in supreme happiness will also be guaranteed .... And this is the life I have promised you .... I Myself want to grant you this blissful life, and thus I will never cease in supporting you to achieve this said high degree of love, whenever it may be .... One day you will attain life and then never lose this life again .... This is truly the most glorious promise, for you can hope. You need not fear to be lost; you need not remain in the state of death forever, for I have told you 'You will live forever ....'And My Word is truth .... only you yourselves determine the time when you will enter into life; you determine the time when you escape death, when you return to Me, unite with Me again and then also arrive at the life which lasts forever ....

And thus you can also endlessly prolong the state of death if you misuse your free will again, if you oppose My loving support which stimulates your love. And then you will prolong your state of misery too, for only life is happiness. Yet you have free will, and this prevents Me from giving you life against your will. For you have to attain perfection yourselves, which guarantees you life in eternity, otherwise you would eternally just remain My 'living creations', but the goal of becoming My 'children' requires striving for perfection in free will. As long as you humans are still in the state of death, as long as you lack light and strength because you lack realisation and the influx of My strength of love, you are also in a state of unkindness, for voluntarily practised love would also result in light and strength, and that also means an 'awakening to life'. And then you will no longer be able to fall back into the state of death, because you will be enlightened and also recognise the purpose of your earthly life and consciously strive for it. And this is why love has to flare up in you if you want to attain the life which lasts forever. And I, the Eternal Love, will leave no stone unturned in order to lead you to this life, for I can only unite Myself with life but never with death .... and therefore I will first awaken the dead to life, which My infinite love will indeed achieve sooner or later ....

Amen

Desire of truth .... Light is knowledge ....

B.D. 7975 from August 25th 1961, taken from Book No. 83

The will for truth must be present in you and then you will also recognize truth as such, you will also be able to distinguish error from truth and you will not run the risk of moving into erroneous thinking. Yet you humans are indifferent to the truth, you thoughtlessly accept everything that is offered to you and you don't check whether spiritual knowledge has been brought to you which deviates from the truth .... because you are simply indifferent to it and because you don't believe yourselves capable of checking it either. But you will have this ability when you desire the truth, for then I Myself will protect you .... as the eternal truth .... truly protect you from wrong thinking and I guide your thoughts correctly. Hence My adversary has a great advantage because you indifferently allow him to work and he will assert his error, he will confuse people's thinking and thus spread ever greater darkness over them because they don't defend themselves against it. And almost every person values his own intellect too highly, he believes that he can judge spiritual knowledge intellectually and thus determine its value. And the intellect is dominated by My adversary if the person does not consciously hand himself over to Me and My support, if he does not request My assistance in the examination of spiritual possessions. And only rarely does a person take the path to Me in order to attain the truth, and therefore only pure truth is rarely to be found or it is not recognized as such .... Again and again I give you the reason, again and again I say that it is up to you alone whether you think correctly, and again and again I show you the path to truth .... the path to Me, Who is the eternal truth Myself .... You all have free will, and you all have the opportunity to receive the most diverse spiritual knowledge. But you must tell yourselves that there can only be one truth, and you must strive to attain this truth. And truly, you will be allowed to take possession of it if you approach Me Myself for it. If you desire to penetrate knowledge which you cannot gain intellectually .... if you desire clarification about your relationship with Me, your God and creator, about your purpose of earthly existence .... if you desire the right knowledge, then it will also come to you. A bright light will shine for you and chase away the darkness in which you have walked until now .... Yet you must desire it, otherwise I will withhold Myself, since I will not force your free will to strive towards Me through light .... But if you push yourselves inwardly towards Me I will give you the light because I don't want you to live in darkness, because I want to radiate My light into your hearts which, however, you must open yourselves in order to become enlightened. Yet only truth is light, only truth can reveal to you everything that is still hidden from you, because you once gave the light to Me yourselves .... And only truth is the path that leads back to Me, to the light of eternity .... To desire truth therefore means to open oneself in free will so that the light can shine into the heart and now the human being will be enlightened from within .... And then he will no longer be able to think wrongly, he will recognize all error as originating from the adversary, he will now also know about everything, about all correlations, about Me Myself as the most perfect being .... he will attain the realization which the being once voluntarily relinquished when it rejected My radiation of light .... It only has to desire light again of its own free will, i.e. the truth from Me, and I Myself will convey it to it, it will emerge from the darkness of night, for the light will shine for it and it will be blissfully happy again, as it was in the beginning ....

Amen

Light beings create forms for the spiritual ....

B.D. 7976 from August 26th 1961, taken from Book No. 83

You, too, will be granted the bliss of creation when you use the strength and light .... the power and wisdom .... in My will again, when you will be perfect and able to work like Me in free will, which is always also Mine .... Then love will drive you to creations of all kinds, for then you will also create forms in your love for the still immature spiritual in which it can mature, and you will find your beatitude in it yourselves .... For you yourselves emerged from My creative power as My images .... Your nature corresponded to My fundamental nature, all divine characteristics and abilities were within you and you were also able to use them in the same way as Me; you were able to create and shape yourselves until you fell away from Me, until the moment when you freely rejected My strength of love and thereby deprived yourselves of all abilities and were therefore no longer able to create because My strength of love no longer shone through you or because you yourselves no longer wanted to accept it and thus became powerless. But this state of imperfection will not last forever, for My aim is and remains to restore you to your original state, which, however, has to be achieved by your free will alone. My overwhelming love for you, which only ever wants your bliss, guarantees that you will receive My support in every way. And as soon as you have entered the original state again My strength of love will flow through you as in the beginning, and you will use it again in wisdom, because you have now become love again and therefore also want to help the still unredeemed to attain the same beatitude which will now be granted to you .... And you will constantly be creatively active .... Whatever you set your mind to you will also be able to accomplish, and creating and shaping will make you immeasurably happy. For as a human being you don't know what abilities are within you which only lie idle because you lack the love which gives you strength and wisdom .... But one day you will know everything, and you will create the suitable cover for every particle of soul, you will lovingly accept everything that still has to travel the path through the creations of earth .... You will also recognize its degree of maturity and your creations will correspond to it, which will therefore also make you immeasurably happy because you recognize their purpose and support the spiritual in its upward development through your will of love, which is active in creating and shaping. As long as you live on earth as a human being you lack this degree of maturity, that you recognize everything, that you know about every work of creation, about its nature, composition and purposefulness .... Yet once you have this realization you will already have reached a high degree of maturity yourselves, where you may behold miracles upon miracles and even move in the midst of these miracles .... And all these miraculous works are My thoughts and ideas which I let become form .... always for the happiness of the spiritual in every degree of maturity .... only that once these forms envelop the spiritual, which is to mature in them, and that then the spiritual itself can create such forms and its strength and wisdom can now express itself in creations of the most versatile kind. And only then will you pay far more attention to all creations, only then will you recognize My great love and wisdom, and your love for Me will become ever more powerful, which means a constant increase in your strength and therefore also an increase in your bliss. And you will behold things which you would never dream of, for My glories will have no end, which are intended for all those who love Me .... and I will make My creatures eternally happy .... they shall create and shape with Me in My kingdom, they shall enter the father's inheritance as My children .... they shall be immeasurably happy in and with Me ....

Amen

Serious warning against psychic receptions ....

B.D. 7977 from August 27th 1961, taken from Book No. 83

You should not trouble yourselves with doubts, but you should also know that you only receive pure truth from Me by merely wanting your thoughts to be correct and true. And you will always receive assurance that I do not contradict Myself, that therefore the spiritual information which originates from Me, which was conveyed to those of you through the 'working of My spirit' who allow My activity in you, must always tally. However, since My adversary's influence confused people's thinking, since falsehood and error are far more likely to be accepted by people, it has also become necessary to convey the pure truth from above time and again, for truth does not remain pure for long among people, for unkindness reigns and this darkens the spirit, so that it is easy for My adversary to proceed against the truth and to intersperse it with error, without this being recognised by people. Light is all you humans need in order to find and travel the path to Me and to ascend .... In the darkness you take wrong paths which lead off course, and since it is My adversary's goal and intention to alienate you from Me and to gain you for himself, he will eagerly strive to confuse your thinking, and he will do so under the mask of an angel of light. And the danger that he will be heeded is particularly great during the time of the end, because people are lacking love and therefore possess no power of judgment either .... They fall prey to error and then he will have won them over. For this reason I keep making you aware of the cover under which he appears. For he is full of cunning and trickery, he tries to slip in where he can show himself as an angel of light, where people look for contact with the spiritual kingdom .... but where the preconditions are missing which guarantee a genuinely pure spiritual bond with the world of light .... However, wherever the preconditions exist he is unable to intervene, and only then will the truth be guaranteed, because all beings of light work on My instructions and can only distribute pure truth which they receive from Me .... Yet can you humans know with absolute certainty that you demonstrate the preconditions which guarantee you this bond with the world of light? And can you therefore be certain that the spiritual realm conveys the full truth to you? Can you do this where it concerns psychic transmissions from the spiritual kingdom? Do you know whether it is impossible for the adversary to intervene if a person as a 'shell' forfeits his own will? Only a high degree of maturity will result in your protection by the world of light .... but in view of the great risk the beings of light will always try to influence people such that they allow the 'working of the spirit' in them in a conscious state, that they shape themselves into a receiving vessel for the divine spirit .... that they improve themselves in order to grant the beings of light the undisputable right to repel everything unspiritual from them and to only let the pure truth flow to them, which they receive from Me, so that they can instruct you humans if it is your will and you fulfil all preconditions ....

You humans must remember that the time of the end has come, that you don't have much time left, and that you should therefore accomplish the work of improving your soul with increased vigour .... And you must know that My adversary will use all his power to try to prevent this endeavour .... Thus he will try this where he is not recognised, where a human being's conscious will does not offer him opposition .... He has great power and makes use of it when psychic receptions are desired whose truthfulness cannot be verified by you humans .... Be warned, for the point is not that it would be impossible for a being of light to express itself through a medium, but the point is that you humans are incapable of judging whether a being of light expresses itself or whether the adversary's clever disguise enables him to spread darkness .... And this darkness can have a disastrous effect on you; misguided teachings can be conveyed to you from which you can only detach yourselves with difficulty .... But a misguided teaching will always obstruct the path to Me, it will obscure the light in you or extinguish it entirely, and the path to Me will be prolonged by you .... I want to caution you of this, for there is not much time left, you are near the end, and once a misguided teaching has taken hold in you it will take quite a while before you recognise it as such, and this time might no longer be at your disposal .... The possibility that you are offered truth certainly exists, but you are unable to judge whether it is offered to you and consequently there is always the risk that your spirit will become darkened if I don't seriously warn and admonish you only to believe those Words which are conveyed to you through My spirit .... for it will guide you into all truth, as I have promised you ....

Amen

Urgency of spreading the divine word ....

B.D. 7978 from August 28th 1961, taken from Book No. 83

And this is the lord's will that His word be spread .... for just as He once sent His disciples out into the world, so shall you .... His last disciples in the last days .... shall see to it that His word is spread throughout the world, that it also resounds to human hearts which hunger and thirst for it, which have a desire to be addressed by God Himself. And even if people who are not able to hear His voice directly host you .... whether they doubt the word or deny its divine origin .... for they do not know about the spiritual hardship .... about the dense darkness which lies spread over the earth and which can only be chased away by a ray of light from above if only this light is not resisted. World events alone should make humanity pay attention, and they should seriously strive for another aim than just worldly power, earthly goods, honour and fame. They should realize that everything is transient, that no-one can secure earthly goods for himself if it is in God's will to take them away from him. The human being is powerless in the face of God's will or permission, and this should make him think, he should incline towards God as the creator of heaven and earth, from Whom he himself also originated, and appeal to Him for His guidance that he may reach his aim on earth. For every thinking human being would have to regard his existence on earth as purposeful and seek clarification about this purpose .... And since only partial knowledge can ever be offered to him on his part, he should turn to God Himself in thought, to the creator Who gave him life .... And he should ask Him for right thinking and realization, for right guidance on all his paths through life .... always with the will to reach his aim for the purpose of which he dwells on earth. And so that people's thoughts will be guided to turn to God Himself, God addresses people Himself .... And you, who receive His word directly, who receive it again indirectly through His messengers, you should pass this word on to your fellow human beings, for the word which comes to you directly from above is well-suited to stimulate people's thinking who are only of good will .... For there are many people who are not satisfied with the spiritual knowledge they have been offered up to now, of whose truth they are not fully convinced and cannot be either, because the adversary's influence from God has caused many lies and errors to obscure the pure truth and a willing soul therefore rejects it because it cannot inwardly acknowledge this spiritual knowledge. But these people should also be addressed and spiritual knowledge should be offered to them in an unadulterated form ..... And how would this be possible other than that the truth is directly conveyed to earth by God and spread by those who want to serve God? And to this work He calls the disciples in the last days, for there is not much time left .... Everything shall still be done that is within the power of those who have voluntarily offered themselves to Him for service .... Only His word should ever be mentioned, which provides information about all questions that move a thinking person of good will .... And they will truly experience much blessing, a light will be brought into the darkness .... People will be able to believe who want to believe. And the pure gospel, which will reach them through God's greater than great love and grace, will become a lifeline for them when the great tribulation comes upon the earth, which precedes the last end. Then people shall take the path to the one Who alone can save them from all adversity .... And then they will also pray to Him in spirit and in truth because they will have recognized Him in His word ....

Amen

Notice of the time of tribulation .... Power of the word ....

B.D. 7979 from August 30th 1961, taken from Book No. 83

A time will come when you will understand why I take such unusual care of you that I speak to you directly, even though your spiritual state has not yet reached the maturity which could justify a direct address. You will experience unusual adversity, My adversary will press you unusually and you will have to accept unusual strength in order to be able to withstand .... And you will be able to draw this strength from My word .... And then the visible influx of My strength will be a strengthening for you, because your faith will also become ever more alive when you experience the evidence of My presence through My word. Time is pressing, and therefore you will also be able to notice an increasing adversity caused by strokes of fate and disasters of all kinds, and people will desperately ask themselves where all this is supposed to lead .... And then you, who hear Me Myself, will be able to convey My word to them, and it will also be accepted by those who have not yet completely fallen prey to My adversary .... And then you will know why I address you in such an unusual way, for then you will recognize the truth of all this, and you will also recognize My love for you humans who will only stay on earth for a short time and shall pass their test .... The world still stands between you and Me, your eyes are still turned towards the world and it is difficult for you to change and turn towards Me .... But you will very soon be able to recognize the worthlessness and impermanence of this world, you will very soon be startled out of your rest and suddenly stand before an approaching disaster .... And you will look for a way out, and blessed is he who finds the way out in Me Myself, blessed is he who turns to Me, entrusts himself to Me and now no longer walks alone .... For he will be guided through, often in the most wonderful way, because there is only one Who can help in every situation in life, and because this one only needs to be called upon in order to also be able to prove Himself in a helping way. And this will be his greatest gain, that he has found Me Myself, for then nothing will need to frighten him anymore, he will know that he is safe in My fatherly arms, and these will also spread to all who turn their thoughts to Me in every adversity. Once you have recognized that a father addresses you, you will also press towards the father, and only My word can grant you this realization. My word alone will strengthen your faith in a God and creator Who wants to be your father and to Whom you only need to give your love in order to be eternally saved .... For your earthly life will pass, but for the sake of earthly existence alone you did not enter embodiment as a human being .... Your soul shall only pass through and prove itself before it enters the kingdom which is its true home .... And if you know this, you will also strive to enter this home in the highest degree of maturity .... And therefore I address you again and again because the time is coming to an end which is set for the earth and all its creations .... Time is hastening and you must make increased efforts in order to still complete yourselves; but you can also do this, for My gift of grace .... My word from above .... is such an unusual aid, it has such an unusual effect of strength, that you can perfect yourselves in a short time if only you let its strength flow into your heart .... if you read My word attentively and now also live accordingly .... if only you make an effort to fulfil My will, if you believe in Me and give Me your love .... Then you truly need not fear an end, no matter when it may come .... For then you will give yourselves to Me, and truly, My love and might will protect you, and you need not fear death, for you will live forever, as I have promised you ....

Amen

God's strength can also grant physical recovery ....

B.D. 7980 from August 31th 1961, taken from Book No. 83

You are truly offered something precious when I talk to you directly, and you will always be able to draw strength by just consciously opening yourselves to My emanation of love if you want to receive the ray of strength from Me, if you desire to be filled with strength from Me .... if you want your hunger and thirst to be stilled by the nourishment you receive from Me Myself. However, you are as yet unable to recognise the real value of My gifts of grace .... even though you willingly listen to Me, even though you belong to those who want to be nourished and have their thirst quenched by Me. Were you able to assess My greater than great love for you which constantly wants to make you happy and grant you gifts, you would also know that I only offer you gifts which have an extremely helpful effect on you .... you would know that I only offer you what will help you to attain perfection, to fully mature your souls, and you would only ever want that My gifts of love for you will not be limited. You would consciously open yourselves at any time in order to receive My gifts of grace, and you would become aware of an abundance of strength constantly flowing to you if only you have the will to receive it. You merely require profound faith in order to also become physically healthy through the strength of My Word ....

But you do not possess this strong faith as yet and thus you must only ever strive to raise your degree of love .... When you are entirely permeated by love then you will only have space in your heart for My strength of love, then everything else will be pushed away and you will be so close to Me that you will feel My presence which will also let you become aware of the flow of strength .... And then your body and soul will recover .... Open yourselves again and again to the strength of love from Me .... keep turning your thoughts to Me and establish the connection with Me which facilitates an influx of My strength of love in you .... and know that you receive the evidence of My presence when I can speak to you. And don't undo this bond again but let it become increasingly more tender and, truly, you will feel it yourselves and no longer need to fear that you will lack strength .... Just believe, and I will not let your faith be destroyed .... open your heart and accept Me in it, and My presence will make you aware of the strength that pours into you, you will hear My Word and recognise it as an incredible gift of grace .... You will distinctly feel the strength of My Word, you will psychologically mature, and this raised state of maturity will also express itself in an increasingly stronger faith, and a strong faith can achieve anything, it can also help the body to get healthy because nothing is impossible for someone who believes in Me, in My love and in My might ....

Mentally directing the will towards God ....

B.D. 7981 from September 1st 1961, taken from Book No. 83

Every thought which turns to Me is an acknowledgment that you belong to Me, a flickering spark of love striving towards the fiery ocean of Eternal Love. It demonstrates that the test of will of acknowledging Me again as God and Creator, as it was in the beginning, has been passed .... I will not leave you in eternity, even if you yourselves voluntarily keep away from Me .... For you belong to Me, you are a tiny spark of My strength of love which I emanated when I gave you life. And one day this strength of love will flow back to its original source again, because this is the law of eternity .... But I care that your free will .... the mark of divinity .... is your reason for returning to Me. And it makes Me indescribably happy when this change of will, after your past apostasy from Me, has been accomplished, when you as a human being .... during the stage of free will .... turn your thoughts to Me .... Then I will take hold of you and draw you continuously closer to Me, and I have the right to do so because you will be trying to unite with Me again of your own free will ....

You don't realise how much strength flows to you when your thoughts apply to Me, for every thought is a bond with Me which enables the influx of strength; a contact which enables Me to permeate you with My strength of love, which spiritualises you and makes you the blissful beings again that you once had been. You have the option to receive My guaranteed influx of strength at any time .... you have a very reliable way to receive My strength by merely directing your thoughts to Me .... For you only turn to a Being Which you acknowledge, and I only want this acknowledgment from you in order to provide for you again as before, in order to permeate you again with My strength of love. When you think of Me you consciously open your heart .... you surrender every resistance that had kept you apart from Me, and then My love can take effect on you again, which ignites in you like a spark of fire and also lets your love flare up for Me. Hence it incorporates an immense blessing if you lift your thoughts up to Me time and again ....

Admittedly, the world will often prevent you from doing so, and anyone who is subject to the world will only rarely and with difficulty turn to Me, if at all .... But once you have voluntarily granted Me the right to take possession of you again because you have voluntarily accomplished to break away from My adversary then you can also be sure that I will enter your thoughts time and again, and it will be increasingly possible for you to mentally stay in contact with Me .... until you can always sense My presence close to you, until you no longer start anything without Me. And then you will consciously fulfil the purpose of your earthly existence, then you will already be in close contact with Me even though you still live on earth, and I will not leave you again, I will always walk by your side, I will take abode in your heart and you will feel My presence and be very happy ....

Therefore, always stay in contact with Me even if the world will not yet release you completely .... As long as you still have to live in the material world you will also have to fight against its temptations and attractions; but once you have established the connection from you to Me, the material world can no longer harm you, then you will look for Me even more, because you will not be able to find true happiness in the material world after all but only ever in your heartfelt contact with Me .... And then My love will draw you to Me, then I will gladden you with My presence .... For then your will belongs to Me, as it has turned to Me entirely willingly, and you will have become and will stay My Own for all eternity ....

Amen

Thoughts of an end are beneficial ....

B.D. 7982 from September 2nd 1961, taken from Book No. 83

Every thought of an imminent end can only be beneficial for your soul if you believe in its survival after death. For then you will live consciously after all, you will also think about many things and no longer take earthly plans and interests seriously, even if you are not yet fully convinced that an end will come. But the thought of it will be encouraged in you on the part of the world of light, for the mental influence emanates from their side, because you are entrusted to them for protection and they constantly strive for you and your soul's salvation. Hence the thought current emanates from them and again and again it will be conveyed to you .... And now your free will decides how you adjust yourselves to it .... Thus it can be to your spiritual advantage, but you can also reject every such thought if you are still too addicted to the world and all thoughts about an end are only a hindrance to your striving for the world. Then you will rather listen to the whispers of the dark beings, you will pay homage to the world and do everything to create or increase physical comfort for yourselves .... For then you will not believe in the soul's continuation of life after death either, you will only live for the sake of earthly life, and the beings of light will have little success because you will reject the flow of thoughts flowing to you, because you will close your heart to all good forces and their admonitions and warnings. And then you will have to experience everything you gladly reject. You will be disappointed by the world, you will have to recognize its fickleness, or else you will receive so abundantly from God's adversary that you will truly already have lost all reward which you have acquired on earth or which is demanded by God's adversary as a price for your soul and which he will willingly pay to you .... by giving you abundant earthly goods, prestige and power .... Don't demand such earthly possessions so that you won't fall prey to Him but recognize the time and gratefully accept all hardship and worries, for they prove to you that the father's love is still struggling for your souls, that He will not give you up and that He wants to win you and your thoughts before the end comes. For this reason He announces the end to you, and if you now think about it your soul will only benefit from it, for you will kill the worldly desire, you will nevertheless work on your soul while thinking about the end, and you will pray to God that He may give you strength to fulfil the purpose of earthly life, and then you will also be saved from eternal ruin. As soon as thoughts of the end come to you .... do not chase them away but deal with them, and only remember that there is no end for your soul .... and try to create the state for it that you don't need to shy away from an end either. And if you also find the path to God through such thoughts, for they are truly a blessing for you, and you can also trustingly hand yourselves over to the beings of light who look after you and worry about your soul's salvation .... And they will now always have an effect on your thoughts and also remind you again and again during this time of the near end .... They will never present the world to you in an appealing way, for the world is the realm of the prince of darkness, from which the beings of light want to keep you back and whose work they try to invalidate precisely with the reference to the near end, which can only ever be given to you mentally. And as difficult as these thoughts may be for you .... They are only favourable for your souls, and therefore don't reject them but let them have an effect on you, for one day you will be grateful for every warning cry that wrested you from the adversary's hands .... one day you will know that you were lovingly cared for so as not to be lost again for an infinitely long time ....

Amen

The spirit of God must be able to work .... Servants ....

B.D. 7983 from September 3rd 1961, taken from Book No. 83

I accept all those who offer themselves to Me for service, because I still need many labourers in My vineyard, because there is great spiritual need and because I can only ever address those through you humans who are not yet in the right relationship with Me .... because they only ever have to be addressed through human mouths through which I can then express Myself. But you must know one thing, that the labourers in My vineyard have to fulfil completely different tasks, that I assign each individual his activity and that this activity will always concern his fellow human being's salvation of soul, thus it should stimulate or awaken faith and love and determine his fellow human beings to work on their souls themselves .... Thus every person who strives spiritually himself and wants to induce his fellow human being to lead the same way of life will also be allowed to feel like a vineyard labourer, for he will always be active in My will and be concerned about his fellow human being's salvation of soul, and he will always be allowed to be certain of My blessing that I will support him in his endeavour, that I will place the right thoughts into his heart and that he will therefore now also speak according to My will, even if this happens in the form of conversations or debates in the spiritual sphere .... For I will always acknowledge and bless a person's good will to work for Me and My kingdom, to serve Me and to bring souls to Me. Thus the person's innermost will is always decisive as to whether I accept him as a servant in My vineyard .... And I recognize this, even if it is hidden from his fellow human being .... And in accordance with it I will now also distribute My instructions which every one of My servants feels in his heart, which move him mentally and which he will then also carry out because he feels inwardly urged to do so. And you humans can believe that I have many such silent vineyard labourers who often achieve greater success than those you regard as 'servants of God' and who are more outwardly prominent and pose as My representatives on earth and whose vineyard work is obvious but does not result in great spiritual success. As soon as they are in heartfelt contact with Me they will also be guided by My spirit and do the right vineyard work for Me, but this heartfelt bond with Me will always be the decisive factor, never the external position of a person who is considered a vineyard labourer. For this intimate bond allows My working of the spirit and My spirit must be able to work if the right vineyard work is to be done. And now you will also understand that a certain degree of maturity is a prerequisite in order to be able to accept a person as a servant in My vineyard, for he must be able to hear My instructions within himself in order to also be able to carry them out. Yet anyone who voluntarily offers himself to Me for service has also already reached this degree of maturity or he would not be inwardly impelled to serve Me .... And so now I can place him in the place where he can work successfully .... I need all of you, for the spiritual need is great. But you should pay attention to My instructions and not approach work which has not been assigned to you. You should let yourselves be guided by Me, for as soon as there is still a degree of ambition or wanting to stand out in you, you are not yet doing Me a proper service .... Then you can even endanger a work, because you can also be rejected in the right realization of an unspirit which then seeks to express itself .... Those people who want to be true servants to Me must be extremely humble and completely subordinate to My will, for only then will they follow My guidance and only then will they also successfully work in the vineyard. For then I Myself can work in them, and then My working can also take on such forms that they achieve extraordinary things, that they are quite obviously recognizable as My labourers in the vineyard .... And then they can also fulfil spiritual missions which will result in greatest blessings .... Then they will be active as My rightful representatives on earth through whom I can then also obviously work ....

Amen

Awakening the divine spiritual spark will guarantee a change in character ....

B.D. 7984 from September 4th 1961, taken from Book No. 83

You once deprived yourselves of your divinity by changing your fundamental nature into the opposite, you were no longer beings of light but had become beings of darkness, for you were devoid of all love because you had rejected My love which wanted to permeate you and make you happy for all eternity .... And in this ungodliness, in this totally opposite nature to Mine, you were distant from Me, you utterly reversed your nature and could therefore no longer be close to Me because you would have ceased to exist in My light of love, it would have consumed you completely .... However, it was not My will that the being which had once emerged from My strength of love should vanish, I only wanted its return to Me, but this necessitated a change in nature which reduced its distance from Me until, finally, this distance was completely overcome by the fact that the being had adopted its original state again .... until it had totally become love again and My love was able to permeate it again as before .... This transformation into love required of Me an act of mercy and love: I had to place a tiny spark of My eternal love into you because you were utterly devoid of love and therefore also incapable of changing yourselves and your nature .... An exceedingly long and painful process of return had almost broken your past opposition to Me, yet then you entered into a state in which you received free will again, which prior to that had been bound .... And in this state of free will .... as a human being .... the re-transformation into love should take place again, which would have been utterly impossible had a tiny spark of love not laid dormant in you, which is a gift of grace I place into every person's heart and which characterises him as a divine living creation as soon as he voluntarily kindles the spark of love to flare up into a bright flame .... This work has to be accomplished by the human being himself. And he can certainly do it precisely because the divine spark of love lies dormant in him. This spark of love is a divine part, it is a minute spark of My eternal spirit of love which is inseparably connected to Me, which also incessantly strives back to the eternal Father-Spirit but which allows the human being complete freedom as to whether he yields to it or whether he smothers the small spark with his anti-divine nature on account of his connection with My adversary which he is not prepared to give up.

You are all able to love but whether you are willing is left up to you .... And although the spiritual spark in you, seeing it is part of Me, has tremendous strength, it will not force you to change your nature but it will make it easier, it is not an impossibility that this change of nature into love can occur during your short lifetime on earth. The connection with Me is in place, it just has to be striven for by yourselves for you to feel its effect when My love can shine into you again .... A bond between the spiritual spark in you and the Father-Spirit must be established, then the change of nature will irrevocably take place and you will become the happiest beings again, as you were in the beginning. But without this spiritual spark in you, which is My share, you would be hopelessly lost .... You are able to love, you have the ability to feel and to emanate love .... you are not entirely devoid of love if you don't resist this spirit of love in you, if you don't push towards My adversary who will always prevent you from carrying out loving acts but who cannot stop you if you kindle the light in you, if you pay attention to the gentle voice within and comply with it, which will always stimulate you to be lovingly active. For My spiritual spark is truly mighty and full of strength because it is part of Me .... It will strengthen even the slightest will towards it and there is nothing My adversary can do to stop it, for he cannot fight against Me since I Am, after all, inside of you .... I just don't force you if you oppose Me of your own free will. And this divine spark of spirit, which is part of Me, is also the guarantee that you can change, for it is strength from Me which enables you to do anything you seriously strive for. And in order for you to muster this serious will the divine Redeemer will always help you, He merely wants to be acknowledged and asked to strengthen your will .... For He and I are one; you once rejected Me, you refused to acknowledge Me as your God and Creator and followed the one who drew you into the abyss .... And he will be in control of you until you appeal to Me for help and thus recognise and acknowledge Me in Jesus Christ .... And truly, the adversary's power will be broken if you confront him with My name; your will shall be strengthened and your desire for union with Me will constantly grow stronger .... The spiritual spark in you will seriously strive towards the bond with the eternal Father-Spirit, you will give in to the inner urge and will be impelled into kind-hearted activity because I Myself can once again permeate you with My love .... And your nature will again take on a quality which resembles My fundamental nature .... It transforms itself into love and will inseparably unite with Me, then you will never leave Me again; the child will have returned to the Father from Whom it once originated ....

Amen

Dissolution of the earth is God's act of love ....

B.D. 7985 from September 6th 1961, taken from Book No. 83

My love alone is also the reason for the last work of destruction on this earth. You may well object that a God Who wants to be recognized as 'creator' will not destroy His own works of creation .... Yet I know and have known since eternity why I let material creations come into being, and I also know when they have fulfilled their purpose, when they have to be dissolved again for the sake of the spiritual substances bound in them .... I know the final purpose of everything I created .... and the final purpose has again only been determined by My greater than great love .... And it will always be My love's reason, whatever happens on earth and in the whole universe .... Admittedly, you humans cannot overlook this because you don't know the correlations of all this, because you lack the understanding for it as long as your soul has not reached a certain degree of maturity. But I could never do otherwise than work with love and bring My wise plans to fruition .... For I have set Myself the aim of the beatification of all beingness which has emerged from My love. Thus My love is the reason even if you humans are unable to recognize it. Yet you are still limited in your thinking and understanding, you are mostly still in a state of wretchedness, and this also signifies a lack of light .... You cannot recognize anything and you don't know about My eternal plan of salvation. You only see with the eyes of a still immature human being, and you also compare Me with yourselves in your limitation. Thus you judge Me and My reign and activity according to human judgement .... And thus a work of destruction, such as will take place at the end of the earth, is also an act of unkindness for you, because then you yourselves will lose your life as well as everything of substance which testifies to life in creation .... For you don't know that every work of creation contains fallen spiritual substances which shall develop upwards .... You don't know that every destruction of such works of creation, which originate from My will, signifies an act of redemption for that bound spiritual substance, a new stage in the ascent development which has to take place according to eternal law .... which again is only based on My great love. But as soon as this knowledge can be conveyed to you, as soon as you receive My direct instructions from above or are indirectly instructed by My messengers, you will already have reached a certain degree of maturity of your souls, and then you will have understanding for My eternal plan of salvation, and you will also look forward to the end without fear, you will no longer regard a 'destruction' of earth as an act of unkindness .... You will know My plan and My aim and be in such close contact with Me that you will be able to recognize My love in everything that happens. You will reciprocate My love and therefore also endure it and confess Me before the world when this confession is demanded of you. And therefore I instruct you again and again and inform you about My nature .... For this nature of Mine is misrepresented to you if you portray Me as a God of wrath and vengeance, as a God of heartlessness, as a punishing judge or overly strict lord Whom you should or must fear because you do not recognize Him as a being Who is love in Himself .... And this is why I repeatedly bring the truth to you humans, for you live in darkness, you cannot distinguish truth from error, and you are far more likely to accept error than the truth which originates from Me. And therefore a purification must also take place on earth, which started with the purification of the word which you have represented as 'My word' until now and which can no longer be acknowledged as 'My' word, for it has lost its claim to be regarded as My word due to constant contamination. As long as you humans are unable to recognize your God and creator as an exceedingly loving father you are not in the right knowledge about Him, about His nature, His rule and activity and about the connection of all events which are only intended to achieve the highest aim of shaping you, His living creations, into His 'children' .... For love is My fundamental nature, you also emerged from love, thus you were originally of the same substance, and one day love will also bring about the union with Me again, which will make you the most blissful beings again, as you were in the beginning ....

Amen

Love accomplished the work of redemption ....

B.D. 7986 from September 7th 1961, taken from Book No. 83

The love of Jesus, the man, for His fellow human beings was so great that it moved Him to take the most severe suffering upon Himself in order to help them because He recognized their great spiritual hardship, their wretchedness and their helplessness to free themselves from My adversary through their own strength .... The love of the man Jesus gave Him brightest light about people's state, about its cause and only possibility of salvation .... Love therefore sacrificed Itself for their salvation, for He also recognized by virtue of His love the mission He Himself had taken on .... He knew that He Himself had offered Me to descend to earth, to take abode in a human shell and to shape it such that it could serve Me as a shell .... the great spirit of infinity, Which was unlimited yet could fully radiate through a human shell. And thus I Myself became a human being, i.e. My strength of love, My fundamental substance, completely filled a human form which contained a pure soul from above .... a soul from the kingdom of light which had offered itself to accomplish a work of atonement for the great original sin of the fallen spirits, as My justice demanded, in order to be able to receive the fallen beings into My kingdom again. The man Jesus was this soul of light, He was the human form which I chose for My abode and in which I Myself accomplished the work of redemption for you .... The man Jesus had to endure immense suffering during His life on earth because His soul felt the darkness in which it had to dwell and because He crowned His path of suffering with His death on the cross, which was immeasurably painful and brought freedom to the people of the past, the present and the future from the hands of the power which was hostile towards Me and had once dragged the spiritual realm down to the abyss .... But He must be acknowledged as the redeemer Jesus Christ, in Whom the eternal deity Himself accomplished the work of redemption for the great guilt of sin. For only this recognition brings him the solution from My adversary .... The recognition of Jesus as the cover of Myself also means for the human being to become free from the former guilt. And this recognition has to be alive, not just dead words uttered by the mouth but convinced faith that He and I became one .... that Jesus is God, that I Myself was in the man Jesus and thus I Myself redeemed people from sin and death. In order to attain this living, i.e. convinced faith, you must live in love .... You must follow the man Jesus, Whose life was an unceasing activity of love .... And if only you are of will, He will also strengthen this will so that you will profess Him with conviction and thereby also be allowed to make use of the blessings of the act of salvation, which will ensure your complete redemption. You should know about the great significance of His descent, about His mission and about the mystery of My human manifestation in Him .... You should know that He was only the visible cover for Me Myself, Who, as an infinite spirit, could not be visible to you and therefore chose a cover for Myself which I could fully radiate through, so that you can now behold Me if you acknowledge My act of salvation and want to accept the sacrifice of the man Jesus .... if you yourselves desire the redemption of your original sin and therefore take refuge under the cross with your guilt. And it will truly be taken from you, you will be free and able to enter My kingdom of light and bliss again, and then you will be able to behold Me Myself in Him .... in Jesus Christ, in Whom I Myself died for you on the cross .... For it was love which descended to earth in Jesus, it was love which filled Him and which made the most difficult sacrifice for you humans, and this love was I Myself ....

God's eternal infinite love ....

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

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

Amen

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

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

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

Amen

God's guidance of His servants ....

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

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

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

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

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

Amen

Events that cannot be proven historically ....

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

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

Amen

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

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

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

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

Amen

Passing on prophecies ....

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

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

Amen

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

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

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

Amen

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

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

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

Amen

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

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

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

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

Amen

You humans should strive for perfection ....

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

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

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

Amen

Divine revelations in communities ....

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

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

Amen

Mission of the last disciples ....

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

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

Amen

Re-incarnation for special reasons ....

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

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

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

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

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

Amen

Directing thoughts into the spiritual realm ....

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

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

Amen

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

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

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

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

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

Amen

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

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

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

Amen

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

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

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

Amen

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

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

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

Amen

God's nature is a mystery ....

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

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

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

Amen

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

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

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

Amen

Every soul is an original spirit ....

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

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

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

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

Amen

Every soul is an original spirit ....

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

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

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

Amen

Falsification of the divine Word ....

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

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

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

Amen

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

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

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

Amen

Address to vineyard workers ....

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

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

Amen

Further explanation regarding the soul ....

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

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

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

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

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

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

Amen

God's revelations through His address ....

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

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

Amen

Renewed reference to the natural event ....

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

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

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

Amen

Comforting address to the sick and weak ....

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

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

Amen

Jesus Christ and His work of redemption ....

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

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

Amen

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

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

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

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

Amen

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

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

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

Amen

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Amen

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

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

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

Amen

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

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

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

Amen

"Knowledge" must be gained ....

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

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

Amen

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

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

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

Amen

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

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

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

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

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

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

Amen

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

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

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

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

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

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

Amen

Fulfilment of prophecy as proof of truth ....

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

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

Amen

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

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

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

Amen

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

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

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

Examination of "revelations" ....

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

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

Amen

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

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

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

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

Amen

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

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

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

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

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

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

Amen

A forthcoming natural event ....

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

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

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

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

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

Amen

The significance of realisation ....

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

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

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

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

Amen

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

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

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

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

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

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

Amen
