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.

Man must be given knowledge through vineyard work ....

B.D. 8531 from June 16th 1963, taken from Book No. 90

Extensive knowledge is supplied to you, which you are to pass on, so that the night of the spirit is broken through and a light shines into it, which enlightens the way to Me. As long as you men are completely ignorant, your thoughts will always only occupy yourselves with worldly things, and only when the connections are explained to you, in which relationship you yourselves stand to Me, your God and creator, when a truthful knowledge is made accessible to you about creator and creation and yourselves as creatures of an exceedingly powerful, wise and loving being, your thoughts will also occupy yourselves with it, and you now only live purposefully on earth. You men will have to admit it yourselves that however such thoughts move you all little; you will experience that your fellowmen are not to be addressed by you when you want to bring this knowledge to them .... you will have recognized that they don't want to think about it, that they reject you as if you were hostile towards them .... And you can see in this the evidence that they are still in the fetters of the adversary who will always influence them to close their hearts to the truth when it is brought to them .... There is also little prospect to enlighten fellowmen in the spiritual field; their thoughts are predominantly turned towards the world and earthly goods, and every spiritually directed thought they reject because it worries them and hinders them in their desire for the world. Very occasionally also men break away from the fetters of My opponent by them listening to you and thinking, and then there is already the possibility that light beings intervene and can direct their thinking right. Then man will demand to know more, and then he will also receive answers to the questions, which he mentally asks. And for the sake of these few I again and again give you the assignment to be tirelessly active, to offer your spiritual knowledge to fellowmen and to undauntedly carry out vineyard work despite apparent failures, which always only consists of informing fellowmen of My work on and in you and to spread the spiritual results .... Anyone who once immerses himself in the knowledge which My great love imparts to you will now also understand the meaning and purpose of creation and of the human being himself, and this knowledge alone will make him happy, because only then will it give his life the right content .... plus the awareness that the human being is loved by the being Which called him into being; that this being wants to bestow supreme beatitude upon him will make him happy and make him seek frequent contact .... And I will offer Myself to him as a guide and always turn My love towards him so that he will recognize Me and also learn to love Me .... Therefore I reveal Myself again and again and only want that My revelations are also passed on to fellowmen, that also these feel addressed by Me and now also consciously strive towards Me, that they are anxious to lead a life in My will .... that they seek to fulfil My commandments and therefore live in love .... and through love now also establish the bond with Me. The extensive knowledge, which is sent to you, gives you information about My nature, My work and My plan of salvation from eternity, which only aims at the return of the spiritual, which once fell away from Me .... You humans only know little about it, and that is why there is also only little love for Me in you .... But if you become enlightened about My nature and about My eternal plan of salvation, then the love spark can be ignited in you, and you feel drawn towards Me, Whom you recognize as love, wisdom and power, and then My love already draws you, which longs for your approach to Me, to be able to make you happy unlimitedly. That knowledge breaks through and chases away the darkness of spirit, in which you walk; it becomes light even in you, and in this light you feel well and no longer desire back darkness. For the light goes out from Me, while My adversary is the prince of darkness .... And as long as you are completely ignorant, as long as it is still dark in you, My opponent still has you in his power .... But if you desire light, then you also desire Me, and then I can give you light, because your desire proves the voluntary turning towards Me, which My opponent cannot prevent, but which I reward, in that I now take possession of you and will illuminate you always more, because I now can radiate through you again with My love through your free will, which is meant for Me. He who has ears to hear, let him hear .... This applies to all of you men that you are to listen to My messengers when they come to you and want to bring you knowledge, which will truly make you happy, because knowledge is light, and every light is preferable to darkness. Man will feel it beneficially and desire ever brighter light .... and his desire will be fulfilled, for I, Who am the light from eternity, do not deny Myself to any being who wants to enter My light .... I radiate the light, and everyone who opens himself will be touched by My ray of love-light .... I reveal Myself to everyone, and everyone can become knowledgeable because he is truthfully instructed by Me Myself as soon as he only desires light ...._>Amen

Feeding the right soul food ....

B.D. 8532 from June 17th 1963, taken from Book No. 90

A right food and a right drink shall be offered to you from above, a nourishment at which the soul can feast and refresh itself, which helps it to strengthen and heal itself. Because as long as you still stay as man on this earth, your soul is still weak and ill, and it needs good food and healing medicine. I offer it to you Myself, for I know the state of your souls and do not want you to leave this earthly life inadequately and enter the spiritual kingdom inadequately .... I want you to perfect yourselves, and I also truly give you everything you need to achieve this perfection. The soul is to come to life, which it no longer loses for ever. And therefore also food must be supplied to it, which guarantees life; it must draw power out of this food to mature; it must therefore also approach the giver of food and drink to receive that out of his hand, what helps it to eternal life. And what I now present to it, when it steps to My table to be fed by Me, that truly has a value for the soul, which is inestimable .... It receives a measure of power out of My hands, which helps it to cover the way up effortlessly, and at the same time it receives a light that it also recognizes the way, which leads to Me, back into its father house. No man is allowed to believe to reach the destination on earth without any help, because his soul is weak and blind at the beginning of its life as man, and its eyes must be opened; it must receive power, if it wants to come to life .... It is therefore dependent on good food, which again only I Myself can give to it, because I possess everything what it lacks. I will offer it the bread out of heaven, the water of life, and truly, as soon as it enjoys it, its weak, lifeless, dark state will change; it will revive itself and now also go full of eagerness the way, which is shown to it, because it now also feels the power in itself, and it longs for Him, Who continuously lets food and drink go to it. It enters from the state of death into the state of life, it will no longer move away from the source where it can draw the clear water of life. Again and again it will approach the host's table in order to receive delicious food from Him, for the more it enjoys it the stronger its desire for it will become, and it will constantly let itself be satiated by Me and this truly not to its detriment .... Only who establishes and maintains the connection with Me can be fed and watered by Me directly, strength will constantly flow to him, and he will be placed into a state of light which will make him happy and let him strive ever more eagerly for Me, Whom he now also recognizes as his God and creator, Who wants to be recognized as father by the human being because He wants to make him happy as father forever .... And again and again I will reveal Myself to people .... i.e. open up a spring from which the water of life can now flow, which is to bring recovery to the soul .... Again and again I will call My guests to My table in order to take supper with them Myself, i.e., to hand out to them the food and drink they need in order to reach their aim .... Again and again I will send My word from above to people, which they are to listen to, move in their hearts and subsequently become active, for they require direct help from above, which My love will also grant to them .... Only their free will now has to become active, for even the most precious gift from Me will exert no compulsion on the human being, it has to be evaluated voluntarily in order to then, however, be of greatest blessing for the soul, which loses its weakness and blindness, which powerfully and with sight walks the path upwards because it strives towards the aim, the union with Me .... Then it can never ever get lost, then it has used My strength beamed to it correctly, it has matured and now also goes towards its perfection .... It is My share, and therefore I will not rest until I have regained it for Myself, and I truly use all means to achieve this aim .... For I want the blind to see, the weak to be strengthened, the sick to be healed and everything to come back to life, which had voluntarily chosen death .... but which I will never leave in the state of death but help it to life, which lasts forever ...._>Amen

God needs His servants ....

B.D. 8533 from June 18th 1963, taken from Book No. 90

I can give you back everything you lose, for My power is great .... But I also know that I must sometimes take from you what your heart still clings to if I want to render you a service .... And then you should surrender to My will and know that it is necessary for your soul's salvation .... And as soon as the danger is removed, I will also give to you again abundantly, and you will need to suffer no hardship .... In the coming time you will never need to worry about earthly things, for I know what you need and this you will also receive; but I presuppose that you do faithful work as My servants, that you constantly remember your mission, which you are to fulfil .... that you pass on My word to your fellow human beings, which you receive directly from Me .... And you can believe it that I as a good house father look after My servants because I need you, I still want to come to the help of many men that they reach their aim on earth. And I will always be anxious to relieve all My servants of earthly worries so that they can be unhindered active for Me and My kingdom .... And when therefore difficult times will befall you, when you will be torn out of the ordered circumstances and get into a chaos, which seems to be insurmountable for you, then you also then need not worry, because I take over the worry for you, who can do everything, also what seems to be impossible for you. Because I need your help more and more urgently, which consists in sending the truth to men, who are entangled in a jumble of false doctrines, who again and again are deceived anew by My opponent and his following and need good guidance to find out of their spiritual darkness. Again and again I must emphasize that there is only one path to Me .... the path of truth .... And this I show you Myself by revealing Myself to you, by imparting to you an unusual knowledge which all people shall experience in order to tread the right path .... And so as long as I need a servant who has voluntarily taken on this task for Me to convey the truth to his fellow human beings, I will also receive him and again and again send him instructions so that he can feel guided by Me and he also fully trusts Me that I will helpfully assist him in his mission. And he can also always be certain of My help, after all, it is still necessary to carry out a rescue work of the greatest magnitude before the end, which can decide the fate of many souls .... And because this rescue work can only be carried out by few people who are devoted to Me in love and completely submit their will to Mine, I must also obviously work on these few people .... I must look after them bodily and spiritually, I must make them happy with My presence and address them directly, for strength is to be directed from Me to earth, which is now to fill people in the form of My word and which returns to the source, to the source of strength .... thus feeds souls to Me which were lost to Me for a long time but will inevitably return to Me one day .... The source of power from eternity now seeks a vessel for itself into which it can pour itself. And this vessel becomes a spring of life for fellowmen, because power can be received there at any time, because I Myself can now also supply My power current to those who are still far away from the original source, but have desire for power for their weakened souls. I always only think of the state of the soul of men, and this I want to improve, and that I can only achieve through supply of power out of Me, which often cannot take place directly and that is why loyal servants must serve Me, through whom I now can supply the power current to those .... Who knows about the great spiritual trouble in which mankind walks, he will also understand how immensely important the office is of him who serves Me, that I can let power flow directly out of Me to earth, who receives My word, the pure truth, which alone helps the souls to mature .... And the word recipient himself will also recognize the importance of his mission and hand himself over to Me in complete trust and only ever expect My instructions and willingly carry them out. And he is never to doubt that I need him, because his willingness to serve Me also enables him for this task, and since it is alone about the rescue of souls out of spiritual trouble, all earthly things step into the background, both the earthly living conditions as also the earthly body of him, who wants to serve Me. It is spiritual work, which is to be done; it is spiritual power, which expresses itself through My servants, and it is spiritual power, which also receives him earthly .... And no doubting thought is to arise in him, because body and soul serve Me, and power goes to both through My spirit, as long as I need a man that he serves Me and helps his fellowmen to the rescue of their souls ...._>Amen

Holding on to misguided spiritual knowledge .... Desire for truth ....

B.D. 8534 from June 19th 1963, taken from Book No. 90

It remains an impossible venture to convey the truth to people who believe that they already possess it, for they are unapproachable and don't accept anything, no matter how appealing it is offered to them .... They stubbornly hold on to the spiritual knowledge in their possession without considering whether it can lay claim to truthfulness. And the longer such spiritual knowledge continues to exist among the human race the harder it is to eradicate it, the darkness is so immense that no ray of light can penetrate it .... But since people deem themselves in possession of the truth, they will not appeal to Me Myself for truth either; consequently, it is not possible to convey truthful knowledge to them. And even if people debate the issue of truth and untruth at times, they only ever merely use their intellect and will therefore never reach the goal of recognising error and untruth correctly. The concept of the 'working of the spirit' in the human being is also incomprehensible to them. They only ever abide by the knowledge they accepted by way of education, which they believe to be true, and do not allow anything else to shake this belief .... And yet they are profoundly mistaken and don't realise it as a result of their spiritual darkness .... Imparting the pure truth to such a person will remain unsuccessful until a messenger of My Word succeeds in shaking this person's firm conviction, until he succeeds in clearly exposing the truth and in arousing the person's doubt so that he will dwell on it and thus there is a chance that his thinking might become enlightened. Even then, this will only be possible if a person lives a life of love .... But since especially people living in error prioritise unimportant, humanly decreed commandments while the commandments of love are often set aside or are merely marginally taken notice of, they lack the love which would grant them spiritual enlightenment .... And thus only a person's degree of love is decisive as to whether and to what extent he is receptive when purest truth is given to him .... Only a person who is willing to love will therefore feel affected by and be receptive for the truth, and only a person willing to love will accept My direct revelations and revise his present thoughts. In that case it will be a significant gain, for he will also advocate the truth wherever possible. Yet on the whole, all efforts of liberating people from erroneous thinking will be in vain, they will be unwilling to exchange it for the pure truth, they will resist the light and be content with deceptive light, which merely reduces their eyesight so that they are no longer able to recognise true light.

However, the truth does not establish itself forcibly, nevertheless, everything will be done to make it accessible to people, but where the resistance cannot be broken it will remain dark, because the people themselves offer resistance, which cannot be broken by force. And neither will large campaigns succeed in changing people's thoughts, for every human being is responsible for himself, and regardless of what a person's awakened spirit tries to explain, he will only ever be accepted where the ground has been prepared by a life of love, where the preconditions are in place for clear and correct thinking, for the recognition of truth. Therefore the error cannot be systematically eradicated either, every individual person must come to terms with it by wanting to know the truth. As long as this will, the desire for truth, is not present, every effort to teach people otherwise will be futile .... One can only ever try to motivate people to live a life of love, to explain to them the significance of love, that love is the only possibility for attaining beatitude and that all other actions and traditions won't benefit the soul in the slightest if love has not been kindled in a person. And if a person takes this message of love to heart and makes an effort to perform selfless deeds of love, much will have been achieved already. Then it will no longer be hopeless that he will think clearly, for love will ignite a light in him, it will awaken the spiritual spark to life and this will successfully influence the person from within .... He will doubt, question and also receive an answer as soon as he genuinely desires it. Nevertheless, a revival will only ever gradually take place, because people are already too engulfed by the darkness of night and they lack the will to reach the light. The conviction of knowing the truth is the most effective poison the adversary could have administered to people .... And yet, people who want to escape his influence are not hopelessly lost .... However, they have free will and therefore they can only ever be preached love and, depending on their fulfilment of the divine commandments of love, their spiritual state will change as well .... They will be able to step out of the darkness of night into the light of day, they will realise the truth and will subsequently also want to release themselves from error, and My strength and grace will always help them to accept the truth ....

Amen

The Revelation of John ....

B.D. 8535 from June 20th 1963, taken from Book No. 90

Everything concurring with My Word can be accepted and upheld by you as truth. And thus you will also know how to judge the mental concepts presented to you .... For this is what you, who are directly instructed by Me, must be able to do .... For you are required to reject everything that is wrong and advise your fellow human beings not to accept it.

Part of spreading the pure truth from Me also includes denouncing error as coming from the adversary and to protect yourselves as well as your fellow human beings from his influence. He equally makes use of human vessels in order to succeed, in order to undermine the pure truth, for he causes confusion amongst people who no longer know what to accept. But as soon as you recognise that My adversary is at work it is also your duty to take action against it. And therefore I want to provide you with an explanation which yet again can only be given to you by the One Who knows everything, to Whom nothing is hidden and Who is able to impart this knowledge through the spirit:

Many things are hidden from you humans which only I can reveal to you. And I have always informed seers and prophets of events which were still in the distant future. However, according to people's state of maturity My predictions or visions were usually veiled and always required an awakened spirit to summon the right understanding for it. And since many prophesies related to the last days before the end they also remained incomprehensible to people, because I Myself wanted to lift the veil when the time was right. The visions they saw were even concealed from My seers and prophets, and they described them partly impelled and partly enlightened by My spirit, which also let them behold and report things which were in the distant future. And thus records exist and were preserved until now which proclaim the visions of My disciple John .... records, which will be explained in the last days before the end and which previously were meaningless to people and consequently not understood by them. Yet they have a profound meaning, they merely depicted what My disciple who had received the spiritual vision had seen but who was unable to interpret his visions himself because it would not have been beneficial for him or his fellow human beings, since the whole time of development was still ahead of them, which was meant to be utilised through Jesus Christ's Salvation .... but knowledge of the visions' significance would have stifled all spiritual impetus .... thus it would have restricted free will. For I knew that My adversary's activity would take on immense proportions at the end of a period of salvation, and that humanity's spiritually low level would be so widespread at the end that the precise knowledge of it would have been damaging to people.

But I allowed My disciple to spiritually foresee all these manifestations of the end, yet in an awakened state .... when he recorded his visions .... he only saw images he didn't understand himself .... which thus was My will ....

You cannot fail to recognise Satan's activity in the last days, yet you humans have no idea of the immense spiritual disaster his activity will wreak on all human beings .... My disciple saw the clearly evident state of affairs in the last days as well as My adversary's activity which was the cause for the terrible vision, which showed his activity figuratively and which only remained veiled to people because they would have abandoned their spiritual endeavour in view of the failure and My adversary's supreme control.

But John also foresaw the fall into the abyss and My adversary's captivity, and for that reason the disciple's vision was intended to be preserved, for one day they will understand everything, if only in the spiritual kingdom when their spiritual state results in their realisation. And thus you know how to evaluate messages which are allegedly from above and yet originate from below .... You know that everything contradicting My Word is erroneous spiritual knowledge and particularly highlights My adversary's activity in the last days, who wants to cause confusion wherever possible and who avails himself of My name as a disguise in order to be believed ....

Be vigilant and don't allow yourselves to be driven into darkness .... when a bright light is shining for you which very clearly shows the path to Me, Who still wants to save all those people before the end who have the will to let themselves be saved. Look for Me in all sincerity and, truly, I will not let you fall into My adversary's hands, I will enlighten your thoughts if only you sincerely ask Me for the pure truth .... But then you will receive it through your heart, so that the intellect need not be involved, for My adversary avails himself of the intellect as long as the heart does not reject him.

You fully consciously have to break your connection with him who wants to corrupt the world .... You have to closely unite with Me and appeal to Me for My protection against his influence .... And truly, your prayer will be granted as soon as it is sent up to Me in spirit and in truth ....

Amen

God wants to answer questions .... Error ....

B.D. 8536 from June 21st 1963, taken from Book No. 90

Believe and do not doubt, for My Word to you from above is truth and everything you were foretold will come to pass .... You should believe that much will, in fact, evade your understanding as long as you are still unable to penetrate the depth of wisdom, but what I give to you now will still become comprehensible to you in due course .... Time and again I say to you that I instruct you in accordance with your degree of maturity, which you can raise at anytime, and that you also receive replies to questions posed by people on earth or by beings in the kingdom of the beyond which I answer through you .... But only at the stage of advanced maturity of soul will you possess profound understanding of My plan of creation and Salvation, then everything will be explicable to you, even that which presently still gives you reason to doubt. Only purest truth can originate from Me, and that I Am working in you through My spirit will have to be acknowledged, for I informed you of this process Myself when I lived on earth.

And you cannot accuse Me of being a liar, for I Myself Am truth .... You can only be comprehensively informed about the events of creation after you have achieved perfection yourselves, and knowledge that is already made available to you in advance will frequently give rise to questions from you .... And this is what I want to achieve, for I can constantly convey more to you when you occupy your mind with questions which only I Myself Am able to answer. Besides, I always want to stimulate your thoughts such that you will try to discover the mysteries of creation, because I want to give but require your desire in order to bestow upon you unlimited knowledge that also reaches into areas which are intellectually impenetrable.

The more profound your knowledge of truth the more illuminated you will be .... and then darkness will never scare you again .... Time and again I invite you to raise questions, so that you can recognise My love for you in the answers, which wants to grant your every request .... For as soon as you ask and expect a reply you open your heart to Me, and that also means that you prompt Me to take up residence in you, that you desire to be united with Me. And this is what I Am waiting for in order to bestow My unrestricted gift of grace upon you .... Therefore I will also always enlighten you about error, for it will draw the souls into ruin .... I will even illuminate your thoughts so that you will act in accordance with My will and proceed against error ....

For it will cause devastating confusion during the last days, because people would rather accept error as truth than allow themselves to be convinced of the pure truth. And thereby they stay in My adversary's realm, in darkness, and cannot find their way out. You, who receive My Word, have the task of fighting error and constantly confronting it with the truth, which will certainly be acceptable to every human being with good will. I will always help you to think and act correctly, to speak where I ask you to speak, for you have voluntarily offered your services to Me and I have accepted the same. You shall now work in accordance with My will, and therefore I can trust you with a task which only ever concerns the distribution of truth and the fight against error.

And it is for this reason that everything will approach you such that you will react to it in line with your feelings, because I Myself will trigger this feeling in you, thus I will also guide your thoughts such that they will serve your task. My adversary works with cunning and trickery .... I will take action against him and expose his doings, and it is only up to people themselves whether they will listen to Me and believe My Words .... Yet only love can recognise pure truth, where love is missing hardly any success can be expected .... Nevertheless, the truth about My adversary shall be revealed to people, and he will also disguise himself as an angel of light and not hesitate to use My name in order to deceive them and pull them onto a dangerous path, for it will lead into the abyss if people fail to recognise his activities in time and turn back .... I always want to help you with this, you need only approach Me and ask Me for the pure truth ....

Amen

'God sent His Son to Earth ....'

B.D. 8537 from June 22nd 1963, taken from Book No. 90

Time and again it is explained to you that Jesus' soul came from the world of light to earth in order to embody itself in the man Jesus for the sake of a mission which required a pure soul, for God Himself wanted to take abode in this soul, and He was only able to do that in a pure soul without sin .... He sent His Son to earth .... Can there be a clearer word to confirm this? It was a non-fallen soul, as opposed to the human souls which have to take the long process of development through the creations and start their human embodiment in a very imperfect state .... But that does not rule out that Jesus' soul had to struggle and fight incredibly hard against everything unspiritual which besieged it from outside .... for His body was immature matter and, due to the adversary's influence, the soul was badly besieged by these unredeemed substances .... All earthly passions clung to the body and its instincts, which still adhered to the body as part of the very immature substances, demanded gratification. Jesus' soul came to earth in a completely pure state, yet untold immature beings clung to it which the soul was not permitted to shake off; instead, it needed to pacify and mature them. Jesus, the man, was also inundated by external immature substances, his environment so affected His soul that it had to endure the same inner battles a fallen soul has to endure, and therefore it is untrue that because of His perfect soul it had been easier for the man Jesus to accomplish this act of Salvation .... On the contrary .... because it was pure and without sin .... His soul suffered far more in the immature environment, His pure soul reacted exceedingly sensitively towards sin, towards everything that due to the adversary's influence inundated Him on part of his fellow human beings .... The darkness which the soul of light had to stay in caused it indescribable pain and yet, it was filled by burning love for this sinful human race and wanted to redeem it from sin and death. So although everything of a satanic nature crowded Jesus soul, it nevertheless did not succeed in making Jesus Himself fall into sin. He withstood all temptations, He fought against His adversary as well as against everything unspiritual pestering Him .... His love for His brothers in need did not diminish and He also succeeded in spiritualising his body's unspiritual substances through love, which constantly increased, and so filled the man Jesus that the Eternal Love Itself took possession of Him, Which would never have been able to manifest itself in a sinful soul without causing it to perish .... Why won't you humans accept these Words 'He sent His Son to earth ....'? That which comes from Him is perfect and thus it is said 'He came down to earth' and not 'He ascended from the abyss ....' Although Jesus' soul was surrounded by satanic elements to a great extent, they approached His soul from outside and His soul nevertheless resisted them and did not allow itself to fall as God's adversary had intended .... Regardless of whether He was pestered by His body's immature substances .... or whether unredeemed beings were trying to cling to Him as Satan's emissaries .... His pure soul resisted and fended off everything of a satanic nature, whereas it matured its body's immature spiritual substances so that it was able to join the soul in a spiritualised state when Jesus had accomplished His act of love. As soon the soul entered the realm of darkness it was subjected to satanic forces yet it did not succumb to them, it resisted them instead because it was full of love and this love provided it with the strength to persevere until the end.

However, the soul brought love along from above, it did not sacrifice love, instead, it united itself increasingly more with the Eternal Love and thus the unification took place, which should be every person's ultimate goal on earth. Jesus, the human being, deified Himself on earth through His great love and His extreme suffering and agonising death .... Yet He, too, had to struggle in order to attain this deification, it did not come any easier to Him than any other person, for people also possess the divine spark of love and can constantly nourish and fan it into a bright flame .... They can appeal to Jesus for help, whereas Jesus only ever drew strength from love .... but this love sheltering within Him was God Himself. And then again, God was only able to shelter in a being without sin, He would never have been able to enter a fallen soul which had travelled the path of ascent through the creations .... a soul which had once fallen away from Him and rejected His love .... After all, this had been the original sin which burdened all fallen beings, and this original sin would have had to be redeemed first before a union with God was possible again .... Therefore, had the soul of the man Jesus been a 'fallen' soul, it would not have been redeemed prior to the crucifixion and God would never have been able to take abode in it .... However, He did shelter in Jesus for He was the Love .... God Himself had become human. God's human manifestation would never have been possible in any other way .... but this is and will remain the greatest mystery of all .... A pure being had to accomplish the act of atonement for humanity's original sin, for a fallen being was still subject to God's adversary's rule and would never have been able to muster the strength of detaching itself from the adversary, its prison guard .... Now it is possible for a person, because Jesus Christ died on the cross for it .... A soul of light had to take up the battle against the adversary and Jesus won this battle because His strength was love, because He waged this battle in unity with God Himself, the Eternal Love, and thus God Himself redeemed the human race from sin and death .... You humans need to be given the relevant information, for mistaken opinions will also lead to mistaken conclusions. Lucifer would not have had to fight against Jesus had he been in command of Him .... And every fallen soul is still subject to the adversary's control .... until it is redeemed by Jesus Christ .... No fallen soul would ever have succeeded in defeating the adversary .... The act of Salvation had not been accomplished as yet, therefore Jesus' battle would have been unsuccessful, for a fallen being which had once resisted God's strength of love had indeed received a tiny spark of love from God, but it would never have fanned it into a bright flame because the adversary would have stopped it and because the being itself was too weak .... You humans should understand that you lose yourselves in wrong thoughts if you don't let go of this opinion that Jesus' soul is Satan's share, thus once a fallen away spiritual being .... With this point of view you would only make the problem of God's human manifestation even more incomprehensible and questionable .... And therefore the pure truth must be repeatedly presented to you, for only the truth will enlighten you correctly and the truth will only ever come forth from God Himself ....

Amen

The course of development takes place in a lawful manner ....

B.D. 8538 from June 23rd 1963, taken from Book No. 90

You have to go through all phases of your ascent development, not one phase can be skipped, for just as your fall into the abyss also your ascent has to proceed, and that means that every particle of your dissolved soul, every small spark of strength once emanated by Me, has to unite again to form the self-aware soul and has to have passed through all works of creation, because only through this can the union of one particle with the other take place .... This will be incomprehensible to you because you also cannot imagine the multiplicity of My works of creation and because you are even less able to think that the whole of creation is present in miniature in your soul, that you as man would be able to see nothing what is not present in your soul. And so you will nevertheless be able to think to yourselves what immeasurable period of time has been necessary for this ascent development up to man, and if you then compare your earth life time with it, then you can truly only speak of a moment, as you go over earth as man, yet it appears very long to you, because you are sensitive to pain in this time and earth life as man is rich in sufferings and adversities of every kind .... yet not to be compared with the time of agonies, as your soul has gone dissolved through creation .... For as a human being it already possesses a certain freedom again, so that it is also able to feign a state of happiness for itself when it creates earthly pleasures for itself and fulfils earthly desires. But it is then still without knowledge of its actual nature that it can only find true happiness and inner peace when it moves again in eternal order .... a state which it should strive for in all earnestness in earth life in order to reach the aim for the purpose of which it goes over earth. The whole course of development from the depths to the height took place according to the law of eternal order .... No phase of development can be skipped, why I now again .... after the end of a redemption period and the beginning of a new one .... will determine the same lawfulness of the course of the newly banished beings .... that therefore every being which has failed as a human being and has sunk so low that it cannot be spared the new banishment .... will again be banished into hardest matter and step by step has to cover the course through all creations .... that it cannot already expect lighter deformations or a shortened renewed course through creation .... The new-born must submit to the law of eternal order and again languish endless times in bondage and agony, in order to once again be able to pass the free test of will in existence as man. This legal order cannot be overthrown, and no matter how deep My love is for My creatures .... It is about their perfection, and My love cannot anticipate or abolish a law, which My wisdom and love recognized as right and good. I can only do one thing, admonish and warn you men and submit this knowledge to you, so that you still change and strive for your aim in all seriousness, as long as there is still time. That is why I still pour out My favours over mankind to an extent that you men could all become happy, if you would only use them. And I can only always give you a truthful picture what it is about your human existence on earth; I can only urgently advise you to listen to explanations of this kind and to think them through. I cannot describe to you the time of your course through creation in the state of compulsion blackly enough, so that you think about it and do everything to escape this new banishment. For you can do it because I bestow grace upon you, because I Myself am always ready to help if you only show the slightest will to fulfil the purpose of your earthly existence .... But I cannot put you into a state of maturity against your will which eliminates a new banishment .... you must strive for it yourselves and find the way to Me and ask Me for help .... And you are to listen to My word, which shows you the right way to Me. Because with an earnest will you will also find Me, and then you are rescued and no longer need to fear a renewed banishment .... But I cannot depart from My law of eternal order .... I must respect your free will during your stay on earth as a human being .... I can only point out to you the endless torments that await you again if you do not change before the end of this earth, but I cannot force you to believe, I cannot force you to love .... But love and faith must fill you if you want to be spared from the last judgement, from the new banishment in the creations of the new earth ...._>Amen

Fight against error ....

B.D. 8539 from June 24th 1963, taken from Book No. 90

It is not possible to act harshly enough against error and therefore also against those who spread error, for they spread poison which causes great damage in people's souls .... You must always be aware of the fact that error cannot be harmless because it is the adversary's weapon with which he attacks the truth, against Me .... and that he only ever wants to pull you humans into ruin .... That is why you are to brand error wherever it is possible; you are to enlighten your fellowmen who stand in the favour to possess pure truth and also to recognize error as such. For it is not just a question of one teaching, which is formed through error, but this formation constantly draws new errors after it, until man can no longer free himself, if he is entangled in error .... There would never be this great darkness on earth when it would always only be about individual questions, which are answered incorrectly by the prince of darkness through the influx of wrong thoughts. But he has succeeded in bringing about a whole tissue of lies .... But in the times of the end truth is hardly accepted, men feel well in spiritual darkness, and they make no effort to come into possession of truth. And that is their downfall .... For thus they also do not find Me Myself, Who am only known through truth .... And My adversary finds many vessels into which he can inject his poison, which willingly receive what he utters and do not recognize in whose power they are .... And since the earthly world is his territory I can only ever counteract where people have already completed their detachment from him .... where unconditional devotion to Me has already taken place and I Myself can now also take possession of a human heart which is willing to accept and spread pure truth .... But such a man is protected against the influx of wrong spiritual good, because he consciously wants to serve Me and his will also secures My protection for him, because his will also guarantees the supply of pure truth, which alone is wholesome for you men .... Again and again I will therefore uncover error so that you will not suffer damage to the soul .... Again and again I will reveal truth to you so clearly and distinctly that it becomes bright in you and that you now also defend yourselves against error, because you recognize it as spawn of My opponent, who wants to block the way to Me for you. But if you want to successfully proceed against error, then you must also possess truth yourselves. And since truth starts from Me Myself, it will also earn you power at the same time, so that you can convincingly stand up for it. But who possesses truth, it will also give him pleasure to represent it to fellowmen, because he is aware of a great divine gift of favour that he again slowly comes to knowledge, which he once possessed, but voluntarily gave away. The knowledge, which he now possesses, makes him happy and also lets love flare up in him more and more, because through truth he learns to recognize Me, his God and creator, and soon also to love, because he is able to recognize Me in My perfection, as soon as he calls truthful knowledge his own. And now he lives his earth life consciously, because he knows about all connections, about himself and creation, between the creator and his creature, and because he now also knows about the aim, which is set for him for his earth life .... Truth makes happy and makes free, while error holds him captive like a chain and encloses him in thick darkness. But who stands in truthful thinking, who recognizes truth when it is offered to him, and who detests error when he has recognized it as such? .... Only ever the person who lives a life of love on earth, for this person approaches the eternal love through love, thus also the eternal truth, because love unites the human being with Me. That is why a man active in love never needs to fear error; he never needs to fear to move in wrong thinking because love ignites in him the bright light, which shines through everything and clarifies the thinking of man. To a love willing and love active man the opponent will be able to offer no error, because he is recognized as a messenger of darkness, which also cannot hide in the bright light of the spirit .... And it can be assumed with certainty that a man who lives in unselfish love will fall prey to no error, because My opponent tries himself in vain on him; he will be seen through and rejected and with him also everything what pushes itself as impure power into the nearness of man. When only his soul belongs to Me, he will also not be able to be misled, because again and again he will get on the way, which leads upwards to the height, to Me into My kingdom. But only few will go this way; they will carry off the victory, which can no longer be wrested from them .... To still increase this number is to be your greatest effort and your eagerness, because truly, every soul is infinitely valuable to Me, and I want to preserve it from a renewed course through the creations of the new earth ...._>Amen

The Lord looks after His servants ....

B.D. 8540 from June 25th 1963, taken from Book No. 90

I Am always willing to relieve you of your worldly cares if you want to work as My servants in My vineyard .... You cannot do anything without Me, hence My blessing has to rest on your work if it is to be successful, and since you, who are willing to serve Me for love of Me and your fellow human beings, only strive for spiritual successes you can also always be assured of My blessing and My support. You will always be guided in a way I consider good and successful for your own soul as well as for the souls of your fellow human beings. And I will always direct your thoughts such that they shall move within My will, so that you will always act in accordance with My will, in other words: you can do what you want .... it will always comply with My will since due to your dedication to Me you have taken refuge in Me and shall always receive My protection. If you thus encounter worldly difficulties and think that you are no longer able to work for Me and My kingdom, place your trust in Me anyway because nothing is impossible for Me, there is nothing you cannot ask of Me, for My might is unlimited and My love is boundless .... My wisdom, however, knows all pros and cons and directs everything as it is beneficial.

You don’t realise how much I need people who only work for Me and My kingdom, you don’t know how extremely valuable your work is which concerns the salvation of erring souls .... Yet I shall not take any of My servants away from earth until he has completed the task I set to him following his decision to work on earth for Me and My kingdom .... And when his missionary work on earth is done, he can calmly leave everything else to Me, I will fill every gap because I know whose love for Me and his fellow human beings is so strong enough that he can take his place. And everything will, in fact, come to you by itself and you will recognise My hand and My guidance and be very happy, yet only rarely will I work in an unusual way so that your freedom of will remains unimpeded. This is why your unconditional dedication to Me is most important and the only thing I require of you in order to also work in unusual ways and yet always within natural law, as not to subject you to compulsion.

Where necessary I will bring My Own together to help each other and to work together for Me and My kingdom .... I only require your trust in My guidance and you will distinctly experience it .... Consider that you are still living as people amongst people and that I cannot so openly testify to My pleasure in your spiritual endeavours that it would compel your fellow human beings to believe in miracles .... Yet everything will happen quietly and approach you in accordance with My will, hence you need not worry but just appeal to Me every morning for strength and grace for the day ahead .... And truly, you will receive abundantly, for I Am a good Caretaker Who lovingly looks after all His servants and gives to them whatever they need for body and soul .... But like a Father I also always try to draw My child closer to Myself and thus keep providing you with evidence of My Fatherly love which will also let your love flare up brightly and you will join Me ever more closely and feel protected in My Fatherly embrace. Let everything approach you and do not worry, for I look after you and know what you need in order to serve Me in accordance with My will ....

Amen

Belief in God in Jesus ....

B.D. 8541 from June 26th 1963, taken from Book No. 90

It is only necessary for you to believe in Me and take the path to Me when you suffer hardship .... for you, like children, to take refuge with the Father, Who will protect you in every spiritual and earthly adversity because you entrust yourselves to Him .... Time and again I emphasise that you only ought to contact Me in thought, through kind-hearted activity or in prayer and, truly, you will not be able to go astray anymore, because your bond with Me also guarantees you My help to be delivered from My adversary and to return to the One from Whom you once originated. Admittedly, evidence for the existence of a God and Creator cannot be given to you, you have to believe in Him .... Yet if you are willing to do so then you will see the evidence that bears witness to Me in everything that surrounds you .... And by just thinking about it you will already be able to come to believe in Me .... I just do not want you to spend your life thoughtlessly, to only take notice of the world and believe that your earthly life is an end in itself ....

You should always ask yourselves why and for what reason you live on earth .... in order to then also get hold of the thoughts about a God and Creator, which will time and again encircle you like waves, for the purpose and goal of your earthly life is to recognise a God and Creator, to acknowledge Him and to desire making contact with Him. Then this God and Creator will also take hold of you and never ever let you fall again .... And He will also convey the knowledge of Jesus Christ, your Redeemer, to you .... For you will have to find Him so that you lose your weaknesses, so that your ascent to the pinnacle is assured .... For even if you recognise Me, you will have little willpower to seriously strive for Me, since you are too weak due to the sin of your past apostasy from Me .... And for the sake of strengthening your will the man Jesus died on the cross in order to acquire the blessings of a stronger will for you .... I Myself came to help you in your great spiritual adversity which was the result of your original sin, and I Myself accomplished the act of Salvation for the redemption of your guilt in Jesus the human being . So the path of return will now be possible for you if you appeal to Jesus Christ for strength, if you place your guilt of sin at his feet and express the sincere will to return to the Father, Who took abode in Jesus, Who united Himself with Him for all eternity .... Even if you thus believe in God as the Creator and Redeemer, this God can never ever be regarded as being separate from Jesus Christ, for God and Jesus are one, God merely made use of a external human shell which people called 'Jesus', but Who sheltered the fullness of Me in Himself.

I created everything, even the human shell of Jesus came forth from Me, Which I chose for Myself in order to be able to stay amongst people. You humans, too, came forth from My will yet you once separated yourselves from Me voluntarily, for only love establishes a bond with Me but you forfeited it of your own free will, whereas the human being Jesus was permeated by love, thus My fundamental substance was in Him, for this is Love .... Hence, in keeping with His nature He must be God Himself, and only his external shell was human until He spiritualised it as well, so that it was able to unite with His divine Soul and nothing human remained once Jesus had accomplished the act of Salvation .... Anyone who therefore has recognised Me in Jesus has also escaped the darkness, for then the Light Itself will draw him into higher spheres, for I Myself Am the Light, and the light shone to earth through the human being Jesus because it permeated the human being completely. And I would like to send this ray of light to all of you, yet your heart has to open itself to Me, you must direct your thoughts towards the One Who created you .... You have to muster this will freely but then you will also be seized by My merciful love and everything will be done to impart the correct knowledge about Jesus Christ to you .... and if you acknowledge Him as God's Son and Redeemer of the world Who became as one with Me you will never ever be able to go astray again ....

Amen

Earthly flourishing .... Swift decline ....

B.D. 8542 from June 28th 1963, taken from Book No. 90

From a worldly point of view you are able to observe continuous thriving, for people strive overzealously for earthly improvements and prosperity, all their thoughts and intentions are purely earthly minded and they seem to bring everything under control to better their living conditions. And yet, from a spiritual point of view, it is a constant decline, for people keep moving away from God, they lose their faith in Him and therefore also every connection, and that means that God's adversary takes complete possession of them, that he is most successful with those people who only pay attention to his domain and are therefore also enslaved by him .... People's goals are earthly prosperity, honour and fame, spiritual goals are unknown to them, and neither do they feel the bleakness and emptiness in their hearts because these are completely filled by earthly thoughts and earthly plans .... And only rarely can their experiences unsettle or change their present thinking .... only rarely will people get tired of their earthly activity and look for another goal to support .... Then destiny must come down hard on them and people's thinking must be forcibly turned into a different direction .... when they themselves are incapable of averting this fate and thus will also have to fight .... Then they might dwell on the futility of their earthly life .... they will recognise a higher Power above themselves which is stronger than their will to live and makes people aware of their own weakness. But every severe stroke of fate is only a means to shake people out of their tranquil earthly existence .... This is a means I use in order to achieve a change of attitude, which is indeed possible when they, through suffering or illness or other difficult situations, have to recognise the futility of their earthly endeavours and start to reflect on their own inadequacy and weakness to have control over such strokes, that they are dependent on a higher Power. Only then might their thinking change, and then they will also strive for another goal than the one they had before .... And there will only ever be a few who turn their way of life around, who will be able to detach themselves from the world and its possessions and then no longer allow themselves to be deceived by worldly flourishing and achievements.

Nevertheless, worldly accomplishments will become increasingly more amazing, for it is a sign of the end that ever greater plans will be pursued and also undertaken which, however, will more and more divert from that which God demands from people and which is of value for eternity .... Wherever earthly matter is given priority that is where God's adversary is involved, for people who only chase after material goods and only make plans to improve their prosperity already belong to him. And these people will also be willing servants to him, they will get ever more enchained by matter and therefore also determine their later fate themselves .... For even if you humans can observe constant thriving and steady progress around you .... you will only be able to enjoy it for a short time, for soon everything will fall prey to destruction and you will lose all earthly acquired possessions .... because God Himself wants to prove to you the fleeting nature of all that which occupies your thoughts and yet is completely worthless .... Therefore you, who are already on the right path, should not let yourselves be deceived .... Don't let your thoughts be misled by believing that the earth can still count on a long existence in view of the fact that so many human plans are being accomplished, which denote worldly progress and a high living standard .... Everything progresses in a worldly way, sooner than you think it will come to an end and people will experience living conditions which you cannot possibly imagine .... For a divine intervention through the forces of nature will give rise to a complete change to which people will have to resign themselves and will only be able to do so if they are in close contact with God and pray for strength, which they then will certainly receive, so that all those will surely be helped who find and take the path to Him .... Only then will you humans realise the transience of earthly matter, and good for him who draws the right conclusions from this realisation, who will be able to detach himself from worldly things and only seeks to gain spiritual wealth .... He can always expect God's blessing and support, he will hand himself over to Him and be guided through all adversity ....

Only the truth is a right light ....

B.D. 8543 from June 29th 1963, taken from Book No. 90

Earth is a lightless area because it is the kingdom of My adversary, the prince of darkness. But light is to be supplied to men as inhabitants of earth, and this must therefore radiate to them out of the kingdom of light, what the prince of darkness wants to prevent with all force. But light has the power to penetrate through darkness, and its radiation cannot be prevented where just one man desires light and wants to escape from darkness. Light is life, darkness is death .... And everything dead, everything moving in darkness, shall be awakened to life, it shall come to light .... When I now supply you humans with the pure truth, when I convey My word to earth, which gives you clear knowledge, which imparts to you truthful knowledge about the deepest secrets of creation and about the creator Himself and His creatures .... then this is truly a bright light which shines down to earth and wants to dispel the darkness .... the state of complete lack of knowledge and spiritual blindness .... Therefore you should also appreciate the great significance of it that 'truth from above' is supplied to you .... And you should understand that I always and forever give My servants on earth the task to pass on this truth, to ensure that light is kindled everywhere, that light is carried into darkness, that people are enlightened about everything they need to know in order to bring their souls to perfection. If the human being goes through earthly life completely ignorant then he will only ever take care of his body so that it receives everything that seems desirable to him. But he will not think of his soul, for he knows nothing about what the soul needs in order to mature. But man does not live on earth for the sake of his body, but only for the sake of his soul, and this knowledge about it must be supplied to him. That is why I therefore let My word come to earth so that you men are enlightened about your actual purpose of earth life, and so that you believe, everything must also be explained to you right .... your beginning and final aim .... your relationship to your God and creator .... the reason for all created beings and the whole of creation and the great significance of Jesus Christ's act of salvation .... I have to light a light for you about all this so that you now learn to recognize everything right in the brightness of the spirit and you now also lead a life according to your knowledge in My will. You men need light, if you do not want to go in darkness towards the abyss. You men must be instructed in truth because wrong teachings bring no light for you, rather increased darkness, which is the work of the opponent. And what I now give to you, My servant(s) on earth, that is to be spread and also carried to those, whom I cannot address Myself, but who also want to walk in the light and therefore are to receive a right light through you. Who once has felt the benefit of light, he no longer longs for darkness back and only strives for always brighter light. And only pure truth is a right light, which makes man happy and can lead him to perfection .... Therefore you will also understand that all erroneous thought material has its start with My opponent, who is interested in condensing darkness, and who will always seek to prevent men to come into possession of truth. You will understand why I call upon you more and more urgently to stand up for the spiritual good, which is sent to you from above .... why I admonish you to take action against error and lie and not to become tired in the enlightenment work, to break through the great darkness where the desire for light exists .... because truth alone means a bright light for men. And no matter how much you are still opposed on the part of those who have not yet become free from My adversary, who still give him the right to have an effect on them .... in whom the desire for pure truth is not serious enough to be immune to erroneous influence .... the radiation of light alone determines the human being's will .... It can touch a man overbrightly and strongly, and then he will also be happy and feel My nearness. But the light is never allowed to be darkened, which then happens when intellectual considerations prevent a shining in of spiritual light and therefore now intellectual results come to light, which again are only suitable to deepen the darkness but not to break through it .... And when My spirit works, when I Myself give you bright light through the spirit, intellectual activity is truly unnecessary .... Because then My spirit withdraws and leaves every further instruction to the intellect because My spirit does not force when the will of man wants to let the intellect have its say. Earth urgently needs light because the darkness is so dense because it is close to the end, and that is why everything is to be done to break through it and to help those to truth who are willing to accept it, and who offer no resistance to the rays of light when they break through in form of truthful knowledge, of enlightenments of all kind, which always only serve the soul to perfection. And until the end the light will fight against darkness; until the end My ray of love light will touch earth and break through the darkness there, where the hearts of men are willing to receive light and to flee from darkness ...._>Amen

The Word of God ought to be listened to ....

B.D. 8544 from June 30th 1963, taken from Book No. 90

You should listen to God's Word .... For His Word grants you the strength you need for the maturing of your souls .... You should only want to be addressed by Him .... And truly, He will speak to you, regardless of how and in which way you hear His Word .... Only your serious wish to be addressed by Him is the decisive factor, for then His spirit will penetrate you when you hear His Word, and then you will no longer hear the speech of a person but the voice of God Who speaks to all those of His children who want to hear Him. You can then, in solitude, attentively listen within and enter into a dialogue with your Father of eternity, then all subsequent thoughts will originate from Him directly, and thus you will hear the Father's voice too, only in the form of thoughts .... You can also read His Word in the Scriptures, and again, it depends on your attitude towards Him, your God and Father, as to whether and how you will be affected by the Word you are reading .... Then He is also talking to you through these, providing you sincerely desire the Father's communication .... His Words can also be imparted to you through a human mouth if, in religious places, you listen to a sermon with the desire to hear Him, your Father of eternity .... if your thoughts are so closely united with Him that you consider every Word to be addressed to yourselves, then you can also truly say that you have been addressed by God Himself .... Additionally, you can accept the Word of God from servants sent to you on His instructions in order to convey God's direct communication to you, which informs you that He Himself speaks through the spirit when He has a suitable vessel at His disposal which receives His flow of love that wants to pour into such a vessel .... And if you are touched by these Words you will also feel yourselves addressed by Him and you will not have anymore doubts that God Himself speaks to you indirectly .... But you can receive His Words from Him directly, too, if you unite yourselves with Him in profound love and believingly listen within .... Then you will hear His direct communication and be extremely happy .... And an abundance of strength will flow into you which will truly enable you to still achieve your perfection on earth, for the direct communication is the greatest gift of grace which all of you can acquire if it is your sincere will. You need to hear the Word of God because you require a light from above which illuminates the path which will lead you to perfection .... You require a small pointer in the right direction; you simply need help in order to be able to reach your goal on earth .... You are weak and blind in spirit .... you must receive strength and regain your ability to see. And both occur through the imparting of the divine Word, which you therefore need to hear in some form or another .... As soon as your heart desires to be addressed by God Himself, the divine Word will not fail to be effective and give you what you require in order to enable you to fulfil your task on earth ....

The one and only point is that you humans should establish the connection with your God and Creator of eternity, that you should enter into the relationship of a child with its Father and desire to be addressed by Him, then your earthly life will truly not be futile. The connection with God had once been voluntarily severed and in so doing the being, which He created out of His love, became wretched and of darkened spirit .... The connection must consciously and voluntarily be restored again in order to come out of this unhappy state, and therefore the human being must also want for God to speak to him, for this proves that he strives towards a connection with God once more, and then his higher development can proceed in his earthly life, for then the person will receive strength through accepting His divine Word and he will become inwardly bright and clear .... Then his spiritual blindness will have been overcome too, he will know about the meaning and purpose of his earthly life as well as about his imperfection and guilt and how he can be released from them .... The divine Word first imparts to a person the knowledge about the divine commandments of love .... And if they are already being lived in accordance with then the person will gain further knowledge, he will become enlightened because the eternal Light will shine into him since the connection has been re-established, which is the meaning and purpose of earthly life by itself .... And for this reason you need the proclamation of the divine Word, of the Gospel of love .... And new disciples have been chosen again to proclaim God, Who is the Word of eternity .... And they will bring the truth to people again, because God's Word is truth and will affect every person as truth .... if he seriously desires it. How else should you accept it if not from Himself .... which is purely determined by your desire .... Who hath ears to hear, let him hear .... For an inexhaustible measure of grace will still be poured out before the end, because it is God's will that all people shall become blissfully happy and therefore He will also address all people who desire to hear Him .... And they can all still become blessed through His Word ....

Amen

The soul knows beforehand its earthly course ....

B.D. 8545 from July 1st 1963, taken from Book No. 90

Why do you humans doubt My love which embraces all My living creations with such tenderness that I truly don't want to let any of them suffer but only ever want to grant happiness and bliss to the beings which once emerged from Me? Yet not only love fills Me but also profoundest wisdom determines Me to impose restrictions on love where it would only cause harm and therefore has to be contained, even if only temporarily .... But I alone know what serves a soul to be able to enjoy unlimited happiness one day .... I alone know how every soul is made up and what it still lacks for perfection .... But I also know how little time is still available to every individual soul until the judgement takes place .... i.e. the classification of all spiritual into the external form which is suitable for it, which guarantees further development .... But I also know that a soul can become completely free from every material form and what unimagined bliss it can then receive and feel .... And if a soul is now shortly before its perfection and the time granted to it has almost expired, then a great favour can still be granted to it, in that this earth time still remaining to it makes exceedingly great demands on it or can also be exceedingly sorrowful, but then it is also the guarantee that all dross is cast off and it can now enter the kingdom of light and happiness .... What seems to be long to you men in terms of time is like a moment in the period of your ascent development upwards, but once the soul has reached its aim then it also knows that it was a work of mercy for My part when it had to go through exceedingly great suffering for the purpose of the last purification. Since it was allowed to see it beforehand and yet voluntarily took up its last embodiment as a human being, this is proof of its approval, of its willingness to take upon itself everything, even the most difficult .... because it saw the aim .... For it had complete freedom before its embodiment as a human being, thus it consciously entered its earthly life as a human being .... It took up a battle with the forces of darkness, which also required great strength of soul .... thus it is mostly not weak souls which are exposed to exceptionally hostile activity, for these would fail and succumb to the evil forces and be drawn down again into the abyss by them, which would also result in a rapid change of their torment into the opposite and thus be equal to a failure of the soul .... You men know too little about the connections, you do not know about the guilt of a soul, which embodies itself on earth, and about its state of maturity, when it is allowed to embody itself as man .... But one thing you will understand and be able to believe is that a soul which has to suffer a great deal in earthly life will approach an all the more beautiful life in the spiritual kingdom and that it will one day be grateful to Me Who enabled it to become free through great suffering .... I allow satanic powers to have an effect, for these powers will also be judged one day and fall back into deepest darkness .... The closer now the end is the more the work of evil will also come to light, and still unheard-of things will take place, which let you men doubt My love and mercy .... But they, too, will find the explanation in the ever shorter time of grace where unusual trials, suffering and hardship can still bring about the maturing of a soul and then this soul will have reached a high aim .... But you are always to ascribe love, wisdom and power to your God and creator, Who wants to be your father. I can prevent everything, thus also such encroachments of satan, but when My wisdom sees the success which arises for a soul through excessive suffering, then only My love is ever decisive, which wants to prepare the soul for the great happiness of entering the spiritual kingdom as perfected .... Therefore do not let your faith in My love waver, but trust Me that I only ever have the spiritual well-being of My living creations in mind and that I do or allow everything to happen that contributes to the perfection of a soul, but that I also give every soul the strength to persevere and to resist the opposing force, which can indeed weaken the body but which is unable to harm a soul which has already matured to such an extent that it knows its final aim and therefore voluntarily entered into an embodiment which forms the conclusion of an eternal development, of an infinitely long path of return to Me .... It has reached the aim and is now united with Me for all eternity ...._>Amen

Guarantee for receiving the truth ....

B.D. 8546 from July 2nd 1963, taken from Book No. 90

You ask, how it is possible for My adversary to frequently intervene with people's thought even if they are willing to be of service to Me .... Bear in mind, that you humans are imperfect, that all of you still shelter much unredeemed spiritual substances which react to My adversary's influences if you don't unite yourselves so intimately with Me that a protective shield is erected which My adversary cannot and will be unable to climb, because he knows that I Myself stand before this wall. Consider furthermore, that you are often mistaken when you believe that you hear My voice .... that you often formulate and quote your own thoughts or are driven by the forces of the beyond to express such thoughts if you are of weak will and allow yourselves to be taken possession of by those who claim to be 'spiritual guides' .... You establish the connection with the world of the beyond yourselves because you want information from it .... And although you hope that I should be the Provider you are frequently lacking the preconditions which enable My direct communication with you. Who gives you the right and the guarantee to claim that I Myself, your God and Father, audibly express Myself? Don't you think that the concept 'audible communication by the Father' is greatly abused? .... I certainly speak to all people who desire My communication, yet this communication will be felt by the person within himself, it is the voice of conscience which constantly advises him, which admonishes and warns him to comply with My known will and to refrain from all anti-divine actions .... I certainly speak to a person directly too, if he has to accomplish a great task .... then he will be able to hear Me directly .... Yet then I will also expect this person to fulfil all conditions which guarantee him to hear My Word audibly, for the fulfilment of these conditions also erect the said wall which My adversary will not climb .... In that case he cannot intervene, and then the purest truth from Me is guaranteed, which should subsequently be spread, for that is the great task which is linked to the receipt of the truth ....

I continually want to convey purest truth to earth, yet people themselves prevent the transmission of the pure truth as long as they are not completely permeated by their desire for it and as long as they don't release themselves from the spiritual knowledge they already possess .... but which prevents the influx of pure truth from Me. I can never express Myself through My spirit where a heart is not entirely empty, so that I Myself can thus fill it .... However, that is precisely where My adversary's influence will be and express himself in the disguise of an angel of light. And sometimes it will be very difficult for you to test the spiritual knowledge which is given to you .... You wonder why My adversary intervenes where I Am speaking .... And I say to you: I don't speak where My adversary has the opportunity to slip in and express himself .... They are misguided assumptions to presume that it is My working which he can interfere with .... Where I Am working the said wall is erected, for wherever I Am working the prerequisites are in place which justify the erection of a protective wall, and that is where My adversary will fight in vain, that is where countless spiritual guardians prevent his entry and drive him back with their bright light. And thus he will only ever choose those spheres for his activity which won't deny him entry, where he is entitled to intrude due to the similar disposition of those whose circle he tries to penetrate. Negative thoughts alone suffice to motivate him into misguided thinking which he tries to transfer on those who are willing to accept spiritual infiltrations .... And that will always be the case when all the people coming together .... in order to receive spiritual statements .... are not in the same spiritual state and thus a defence against immature forces is not guaranteed. If I say time and again that I speak to all people who desire My Word you should not conclude from this that you will audibly hear My divine voice .... but that I speak to every person's heart and that he need only listen within himself in order to be able to understand Me .... To hear My Word audibly requires such an exceptionally high degree of maturity that this only happens very rarely and then it will be in connection with an important spiritual mission too .... If you therefore hear a person speak and believe that you hear Me Myself, i.e., that you hear My voice directly, then you will generally be mistaken, although it is possible .... But then it will not and cannot happen within a large circle, because not all will have the same degree of maturity which is required for My voice to be audibly heard .... And you can believe that every single person also needs to be handled differently if he is to derive a blessing for his soul .... Unless two or three come together and I can be in the midst of them, then I will also express Myself through them, but they will speak in their own way but in absolute truth, as I have promised you ....

Amen

God’s special care for His labourers ....

B.D. 8547 from July 3rd 1963, taken from Book No. 90

My special love and care is granted to all those of you who are active on My behalf, who work for Me and My kingdom. This assurance should eliminate all the worries you are occasionally prone to when you think of what is awaiting you. The time you are approaching will be difficult and yet, with the measure of strength you receive, you will not find it as hard as your fellow human beings whose contact with Me is not as heartfelt as yours and who will therefore be so weak that they will be in danger of being overwhelmed by the events. Each human destiny is known to Me since I Myself impose it upon every individual person, and since I certainly also know its consequences My help will be correspondingly. So, regardless of what happens to you, turn to Me at all times, take hold of My hand and let yourselves be guided and, truly, you will be able to overcome everything with ease and inner calm. For even then you shall still serve Me as proclaimers of My Word .... And during the time of adversity it is particularly necessary that you inform your fellow human beings of My working in you, of what is about to happen and of the Father’s love for His children .... They shall become convinced that I Am a God of love, then they will take the path to Me in their adversity and I can clearly provide them with help .... for if you can convince them that I Am a God of love, they will pray to Me in their heart when they appeal to Me for help. Then I will be able to help them without compelling them to believe .... But time and again I assure you, My servants, that I will not let go of your hand, that you will not be threatened by anything which seems to go beyond your strength .... You should only ever believe in My love, wisdom and power and, truly, this faith will be your strength and will also enable you to speak on My behalf to your fellow human beings .... Then you will serve Me and I will reward your service and protect you in every way .... I will also grant you physical strength when your work for Me is required, consequently you can approach the forthcoming events without worries and know that you will always be guarded by a loving Father to Whom nothing is impossible if He wants to help His children in their adversity.

The stronger this faith is and the more you entrust yourselves to Me, the less will you be affected by that which causes fear and trepidation in your fellow human beings .... Remember that everything is good, regardless of what happens, even if it does not look that way .... And everyone who listens to you will experience My protection when you inform them of My Word, when you proclaim the Gospel of love to them .... for everyone will suffer adversity in the coming time and only the strength of their faith will lead them through all tribulations .... They, too, will be seized by My love and be helped because they possess a living faith and thus pray to Me in spirit and in truth .... Only a close bond with Me will help every person to endure their fate, for then they will faithfully entrust themselves to Me and no longer impose limits to My power .... Then, and depending on the depth of their faith, I will be able work in extraordinary ways. Therefore, do not allow yourselves to become depressed by thoughts that you might succumb to your weakness .... What seems impossible to you today, you may experience yourselves in the form of remarkable help at the time of great adversity .... My adversary’s activity will assume exceptional proportions; he will achieve inconceivable things and thereby prompt equal countermeasures on My part. But I will expose him and open your ears and eyes, My servants, so that you will clearly recognise the artful trickery of the one who wants to corrupt you .... And you, too, will be suitably equipped for your encounter with him .... You will destroy his web of lies with the sword of your mouth; you will publicly denounce him and be protected by Me against his interventions .... for he will pursue you wherever possible. The signs for the near end will become progressively more distinct, just as My love will express itself consistently more obviously, because anyone who belongs to Me need truly not be afraid of anything. But anyone without a living faith will fall prey to My adversary and his deceptive work, he will let himself be misled and not recognise the danger he is in. Nor will he take any measures to come out of it and only great adversity can teach him to think differently .... Yet the person who utterly belongs to My adversary already will receive strength from his side. This person will also master the adversity with his support but instead totally lose his soul to him, who will not set it free anymore and thus his followers will be bound at the same time as him when the day of the end comes.

Amen

Detachment from the enemy .... feeding the truth ....

B.D. 8548 from July 4th 1963, taken from Book No. 90

It is enough for you to know that I take care of you in every earthly and spiritual distress, that you are never lonely and abandoned or dependent on yourselves, if you just do not resist My loving care. And so I will also protect you at any time from attacks of My opponent when you let your will be known to stand close to Me. There is only one thing I demand of you: that you draw a line between Me and My adversary .... that you inwardly decide for Me or for him .... For he is and remains My adversary for eternities to come, and his aim can never also be Mine .... Therefore you must make this decision: to reject him and to acknowledge Me, and then you have passed your earth life test, and nothing more stands in the way of your return to Me. But as long as you now live on earth he will do everything to win you for himself, and therefore the everlasting temptations, which are to bring you down .... And his best weapon is to confuse your thinking, to put error before you and so to block the way to Me for you, which alone can be found through truth .... But likewise I will counteract and convey the pure truth to you, and now it is only up to you whether you accept My gifts or his .... If you are now already in contact with Jesus Christ that redemption has taken place in you, then you will also possess the strength to resist the adversary, then you will also recognize error as such and reject it .... But it will be difficult for all of you if your will is still weakened because you are not yet redeemed through Jesus Christ .... and then again and again you fall prey to My adversary .... Only the redemption through Him gives you the strength of will and then also the right success .... But of this you can be assured that your desire for Me, your will turned towards Me, will also soon earn you the redemption through Jesus, because I Myself can then provide you with power and this power now has an effect insofar as that you are now open-minded towards every enlightenment, which concerns Jesus and His work of redemption. If you want to go to Me, then you will also find Him, Who now shows you the right way to Me, home into your father house. And so that now your earth life brings you the last perfection, I give you a light .... I give you truthful knowledge so that you again attain the knowledge which you once possessed but had voluntarily given away. Only this knowledge will contribute to you living your earthly life consciously .... that you strive for an aim which you now recognize because you stand in the light. The truth will be given to you if you sincerely desire it ..... This applies to all men, in which way they also get supplied with truth .... But I always emphasize that My spirit guides you into all truth, that therefore My spirit also works when pure truth is supplied to man through My messengers, because only then they accept pure truth when My spirit can work in them .... And My spirit speaks to the heart, but the heart decides what it accepts or rejects. But if the intellect now switches itself on, then it can also make a wrong judgement, if man lets the intellectual thinking speak and then is not able to recognize pure truth as truth .... Understand this: A man can be supplied with My knowledge acquired through spirit work, but he himself prevents his spirit from the acceptance of that knowledge, because he first questions his intellect and this can also be worked on by My opponent .... so that the human being begins to doubt and opposes it with his intellectual thinking .... Then therefore My spirit's work is prevented and man hardly reaches the right knowledge because he does not devote himself fully believingly to Me and My work through the spirit .... I always have to present to you the condition for the attainment of pure truth, because truth is divine spiritual good, which is so valuable and therefore also has to be acquired under consideration of that condition .... because you once carelessly gave it away .... Who now earnestly longs for union with Me, he will also long for truth just as earnestly, because I am the eternal truth .... And this desire for truth is the most important condition, and it also presupposes that man frees himself from spiritual knowledge, which My adversary offered him as long as man still belonged to his following .... And whether he also took his knowledge out of the book of books .... it does not protect him from the fact that he has no understanding for the meaning of the word as long as his spirit is not yet awakened .... That is why his heart must completely empty itself and let itself be filled by Me Myself, then he will be able to receive truth guaranteed and no longer need to fear to walk along in darkness, but brightest light will now illuminate his way. For the stronger the desire for unification with Me is, the less resistance the human being will offer to the influx of spiritual knowledge, which flows to you humans as My spirit's working in the form of My word .... He will accept it fully convinced that it is truth and now also draw benefit from it for his soul; he will stand in the light, all spiritual darkness has fallen away from him .... he stands in brightest knowledge and is as happy as in the beginning ...._>Amen

Gathering strength ahead of the chaos ....

B.D. 8549 from July 5th 1963, taken from Book No. 90

Keep drawing strength from My Word for you will need this fortification in the forthcoming time and should gather strength now, since you will be unable to collect your thoughts in prayer when My long-announced intervention takes place .... Whatever is decided by My wisdom and love will also be implemented, and every prediction which I sent to you so that the event will not take you unawares without warning will be fulfilled ....

You shall always remember it and try to set your heart free from all earthly longings .... You shall try to let go of matter, for one day you will have to give it up, and the less your heart clings to it the easier will be your loss, the less you will be burdened by My intervention .... Again and again I tell you to prepare yourselves for this period of unprecedented chaos when only your heartfelt bond with Me will give you the support to do justice to all demands. For anyone not directly affected by the disaster by losing his life will then have to lead a difficult existence, because there will be no ordered living conditions and you will be burdened by earthly adversities which you will be unable to handle on your own, without My help.

Time and again you shall accept My Word in your hearts and draw strength from it, you shall gain such strong faith from My direct Word that nothing will be able to unsettle you in the forthcoming time, so that you will completely rely on Me and only ever wait for My help .... And believe that I will help you .... that just the heartfelt bond has to be established with Me which, however, can only be achieved by a person who is completely dedicated to Me and who will merely recognise the fulfilment of My predictions in the huge disaster and thus will even more devotedly wait for My help, which indeed will be granted to him. Then I will carry out the seemingly impossible on those who place their complete trust in Me.

And every human being should get used to the idea that the orderliness surrounding him will not continue, he shall believe that the earth will be affected by an unimaginably huge tremor, and that countless people will fall victim to a natural disaster .... the survivors, however, will experience extremely difficult living condition which require much strength and confidence in My help in order to cope with them. Then it will become evident where neighbourly love is being practised, for only there will My help be evident as well .... And anyone who is just anxiously concerned about himself and his well-being will also have to labour by himself and yet be unable to master his situation .... For you humans must learn that love is strength and that you will be able to achieve much if your actions are motivated by neighbourly love.

Time and again I refer to the time when great chaos will befall you caused by a huge natural disaster .... because I still want to give you humans a last sign of the Power Which is in charge of you .... But you, who receive My Word directly or given to you through My messengers, you shall constantly listen to My admonition, engross yourselves as often as possible in My Word and your strength will grow, even at times of extreme adversity you will not lose the connection with Me and then you will also always be certain of My help, for I manifestly want to help My Own to strengthen their faith as well as that of their fellow human beings so that they will establish and never again abandon the living bond with Me.

And don't count on being spared, don't believe that other, distant regions will be affected .... This disaster will be far-reaching and involve a large area, even though it will not affect the whole earth .... Consequently, the immense adversity will not pass anywhere without a trace, which you will only understand after the occurrence has happened, when My voice resounds in the world and you realise the dreadful effects .... the full extent of which will take a long time again to be assessed.

As yet you are still living in peace and are unable to imagine such chaos .... But I draw your attention to the fact that everything will come to pass what was announced in advance, I only want to influence you insofar as that you should do everything that will give you the strength to endure .... For I will not abandon you, who have submitted yourselves to Me and want to belong to Me .... And I will always provide you with strength .... Let Me talk to you time and again and draw strength from My Word and truly, you will be able to find Me even in utter suffering, and I will always be ready to help, I will always stand by your side and through you also bring help to those whom you lovingly try to take care of ....

Amen

Truthful education about Jesus and redemptive work ....

B.D. 8550 from July 6th 1963, taken from Book No. 90

You will still often have to deal with error because the raging of My opponent will become more and more obvious who can only confuse the thoughts of men through error and lie and therefore will also omit nothing what helps him to do it. Again and again he will attack truth and so want to undermine My work with you, but what he will not succeed because I have strong supports on earth, which do not so easily become unsteady because they are supported by Me Myself. And their strength already consists of the fact that they are able to recognize every error and therefore will also take action against it .... A knowing person cannot be deceived so easily and a knowing person now has the task to also give enlightenment to fellow human beings as far as this is possible .... And it will be the adversary's attempt to keep people ignorant of the value and importance of the redemptive work of Jesus Christ .... Because what they do not recognize as important, that they also do not strive for. And if the adversary only succeeds in portraying Jesus as a person who transgressed against the authority of the state and was therefore condemned to death, then people will not feel prompted to take the path to Him, to the cross, for they lack knowledge of His act of salvation, of His merciful love, and this is the adversary's endeavour .... To first refute this opinion to people requires a certain courage as an orator, for people only rarely want to engage in such conversations because they have a defence against Jesus as a result of the adversary's influence, to portray Jesus as a rebellious person .... That is why from My side the work of redemption of Jesus Christ is always emphasized; it comes to the fore because completely different connections lay the basis of this work of mercy and these are to be explained to fellowmen if possible to grasp his significant mission. And this is My counter work that I direct pure truth to earth, otherwise men would already long ago be in fullest ignorance about Jesus Christ and the significance of His work of redemption. Then this knowledge will be offered to you truthfully, then you will understand it and accept it, but if only that representation is supplied to you, then you will easily be inclined to consider Him as a secondary figure, but not as Him, in Whom I Myself became man, in Whom I as God have united Myself with Him. Jesus' deity is denied by the adversary's side but it is the most important problem which is to be solved for you, because you are to recognize and acknowledge Me Myself in Jesus .... And therefore I will reveal Myself again and again to a person who consciously allows these revelations, so that again and again the exact knowledge about the act of salvation and God's incarnation will be conveyed to people who willingly accept the knowledge, who are willing to follow Jesus and who want to turn to Me Myself in Jesus and unite with Me for eternity .... Anyone who has taken note of who Jesus is and what motivated His earthly progress will truly not walk this path of earthly life in vain, he will consciously strive towards the final aim, the final unification of his soul with Me, Who embodied Myself in Jesus on earth .... That is why this knowledge is of such great importance and the spreading of it is always an action against My adversary, who is more interested in nothing than to leave people in ignorance about it or to give them erroneous explanations about the man Jesus .... If Jesus is only portrayed as a man who has transgressed against the authority of the state, then this portrayal is intended to pass Him over as unimportant, and the purpose of earth life is missed .... But also an enlightenment corresponding to truth contributes little to perfection on earth when it is received indifferently, without living faith .... when a man does not seek to draw the benefit for the soul out of truth .... when men do not seriously think about what the work of redemption of Jesus Christ means .... And also this indifference, the form faith, is a work of My adversary to prevent that men earnestly seek Me, that they earnestly go the way to the cross to find redemption from their guilt, which was the cause of their existence as man .... And the adversary will do everything to prevent the redemption through Jesus Christ if the human being's will does not seriously strive for its perfection, so that I can mentally convey the truth about Jesus and His act of salvation to him, which he will then also use for his own and his fellow human beings' salvation. The will of man alone is decisive .... And the adversary seeks to subjugate this will to himself, and only Jesus can prevent him from doing so .... But that is why He and His work of redemption must be recognized and a truthful enlightenment must also be sent to man, which then will cause him to strive further and also let him reach his aim, because now his will always experiences more strengthening than grace of the work of redemption of Jesus Christ .... And so it will remain a constant fight between light and darkness, constantly My adversary will seek to condense the darkness, but constantly I will also let the light shine and send truthful enlightenment to men, and who gratefully receives My gift, he will also escape the power of My adversary and reach his aim on earth ...._>Amen

Rescue work on the souls who are not unwilling ....

B.D. 8551 from July 6th 1963, taken from Book No. 90

Little faith will you find in your fellow human beings who are themselves too little in love .... These will reject all spiritual conversations, you will not have the opportunity to inform them of the delicious gift you offer them .... They will reject you and want to hear nothing of the kind because it could disturb them in their inner peace. For whether they also live an outwardly righteous life on earth .... As long as they are without love it is merely a certain fulfilment of duty and a subordination to worldly laws but not an expression of inner maturity, which can only result in a life of love .... And you will mostly have to deal with such people, for there are very few of those who strive spiritually or are to be approached with spiritual things .... But exactly these few I still gather for Me in the last time, and I still adjust them so that the danger of a sinking is eliminated for them, that they are certainly so far matured spiritually to be able to be received into the kingdom on the other side, where they can stride further up. But when you succeed to also win a soul for you from those men, then you can register a great plus, because every single soul is dear to Me, and every single soul return to Me I rejoice and help in every way. And where I still see such a possibility, I will also lead you there or send it in your way. You can then convey to them My delicious gift .... But the acceptance of them determines free will itself .... You can only pray for every soul, which is still on the wrong way, that it may find the right way, and ask you to be helpful to them for this. I hereby address you, who want to serve Me as faithful vineyard labourers .... Do not slacken in your efforts to spread My word, and know that this is spiritual knowledge of such great value that it will also not fail to have an effect if only a person is of good will .... if he lives in love and thereby will also be receptive to what you bring him .... And always know that I know men and lead them into the way for you, on whom you are to do vineyard work .... That you cannot often record success is not to let you get tired because it is the last time and only few are still to be won for Me and My kingdom. But all your efforts draw wide circles. Everyone who listens to you believingly, everyone to whom you impart My word from above, will also do vineyard work again of his own accord, because My word itself drives him to it .... And ever wider circles will take note of this word of Mine, the flow of My love will flow in all directions and be collected by thirsty souls who refresh and strengthen themselves with it .... And there are no limits for My word, it flows in all directions and fertilizes so many human hearts, which again draw strength and strive towards Me, because they recognize Me Myself as origin of that what makes them happy and strengthens them .... what they recognize as bread of heaven, as water of life, and therefore water their souls and feed them with food from above .... For I offer it Myself and call guests from everywhere to My table to partake of the lord's supper with them .... And even if you see little success through your spiritual work .... if you meet far more rejecting people than those who let themselves be given by you .... so do not become despondent, for My word works by itself .... The power of My word flows wherever it is desired, and I know about the human hearts that desire it .... And no work is done in vain, because even if men on earth are not to be won, so still innumerable souls are prepared to accept it, and you are to think of these souls especially, because also they no longer have much time, if they still stay in darkness .... that they have detached themselves from darkness until the end and strive towards the light. When you have achieved that through loving intercession that you are listened to by those souls, then you have a great profit to record, because then these souls are rescued from the lot of renewed banishment in matter, and their way up is already entered and will also lead further and further up. The word, which goes out from Me, is blessed with My power .... So it will also have an effect on those souls, which truly need power to be able to ascend from the deep to the height. Always bear in mind that I open up all possibilities in view of the near end to still bring salvation to quite a lot of souls, and it only depends on the free will of those that they accept My gifts of favour, and that is why you are to contribute to stimulate their will where opportunity is offered to you .... You should always regard your spiritual task as urgent and leave no stone unturned to pass on My word, for even the slightest success can mean salvation for a soul from greatest danger .... It can be spared the fate of new banishment, it can still take the right path to Me before the end .... For I still struggle for every soul before the end and supply it with strength and fortification if only it does not completely reject Me .... And every soul can still change before the end .... This certainty is to spur you on to untiring work for Me and My kingdom; because every soul will thank you eternally, which was protected through you from the abyss, which found the way to Me through you ...._>Amen

Review and love care for the still struggling spiritual ....

B.D. 8552 from July 8th 1963, taken from Book No. 90

One day you will be able to look back on your earthly way of life and not understand that you remained in resistance against Me for so long, when you will recognize My immense love for you .... Then you will be filled with bliss, and you will praise and glorify Me in love that I did not let you fall and only ever helped you to ascend from the abyss to the height .... But as long as you do not yet possess this retrospection and knowledge, you simply have to believe it that My love pursues you and will not rest until you have become Mine for ever. But I must leave you in that ignorance until the time of the complete union with Me, i.e., I can certainly instruct you, and you can believe it that it is so, but you will only win the last innermost conviction when you have reached the aim. For the last knowledge is the result of the union with Me, and that is why you are to constantly strive for your perfection to also be able to gain the last knowledge .... For you will be increasingly happier when it becomes clear to you that you can also constantly strive, that there is no longer any limitation when you have become perfect .... and that therefore also happiness constantly increases, because also the light, which shines upon you, constantly becomes brighter and clearer, which also means that your knowledge, your realizations, will constantly increase, that there is also no limitation for it .... For the constant striving prepares for you an undreamed-of happiness, because it finds constant fulfilment .... That there is no longer a limitation for the perfect, you men cannot grasp as long as you are still unfinished, because so long you are also still subject to the law of limitation. Every imperfect state also means a certain bondage, which you will also only grasp when you will move in complete freedom in the kingdom of light and bliss .... And I would like to help you to this exceedingly blissful state, for My love for you is unlimited .... I know no limitation, only I often have to impose it on you Myself because you would not be able to bear unlimited activity in love towards you .... That is why I limit the measure of My love Myself and only hand out to you as much as you yourselves can bear .... But the measure of My love, which can hit you, increases with increase of your soul maturity, and therefore also your happiness will increase in the same measure as your soul matures, what you will first feel in the kingdom on the other side and constantly increases your love towards Me. It is a state of freedom into which you enter as soon as My ray of love light can strike you in the spiritual kingdom, because you yourselves have given up all resistance .... And this freedom will make you unspeakably happy, and then it is completely incomprehensible to you yourselves that you resisted Me so long and the return to Me took such an endless long time .... although you now no longer feel this time to be long, because also the concept of time is abolished for you. But that you were apostate to Me and it took an exceedingly long course of development until the final return to Me, that you cannot forget, and you overlook the endless many individual phases of your ascent, and you also know about My love care. But you also see the still struggling spiritual in the stage of being bound, and you are also filled with hot love towards that spiritual, which is expressed in great willingness to help .... And so you now also prove your love to Me by you helping that, which also possesses My love. And the redeeming principle will be found everywhere, where therefore the matured souls can be hit by My love ray, because the spiritual, which is now full of light, also radiates the love light further, because every blessed being is driven by love to carry out redeeming work and to help everything to ascend, what still languishes in the deep. And it will always be active in My will because it can no longer do otherwise than to fulfil My will because it has completely entered My will. If the soul has only once found the entrance into the kingdom of light, then certainly all unhappiness lies behind it and no longer burdens it, and it is filled with deep gratitude towards My endless love .... But then it never forgets anymore the spiritual, which still languishes in wretchedness, and it eagerly takes part in it to also help it and to release it from wretchedness. And according to its degree of light this work of redemption will be; it will be able to take part in new creations to again create new outer forms for that what is still bound; it will have a promoting effect on the spiritual through spiritual influence .... it will always contribute in God's will to the liberation and change of the external form and therefore also take part in the course of development up to the human being .... For it also wants to procure its own happiness for this still struggling spiritual, and it means increased happiness for itself to give love and to constantly help the weak, completely unfree spiritual, that it can successfully cover the way of return to Me and finally also pass the test of will as man .... And the redemption of all spiritual will once take place because more and more light-full spiritual is involved in it and the love of these light beings also guarantees a redemption of it because love reaches everything, love gives up nothing what is unhappy, love overcomes every resistance and safely reaches the aim ...._>Amen

People’s duty is to draw attention to error ....

B.D. 8553 from July 9th 1963, taken from Book No. 90

Everything motivated by love is pleasing to Me .... And thus, when you live with love everything you do or don’t do will be in accordance with My will .... However, you have to consider the motives of your actions, whatever they may be .... Do you want to help a person or the world at large .... do you want to help and protect your neighbour from all manner of harm? .... Do you want to give light and understanding? In short, do you want to give or do you want to take, destroy, cause confusion and burden your fellow human beings .... or do you want to take action against error and bring truth to your fellow human beings instead? .... You have to consider all this in the light of love, thus it has to permeate you if your every action is to correspond to My will ....

But I also want to draw your attention to the fact that I want erroneous belief to be corrected, that I expect you to spread the truth and that this task has priority .... For I transmit pure truth to earth so that its light should shine into the darkness .... And spiritual knowledge which originates from Me will never contradict itself, or I would not be the source of the flow of spirit ....

Erroneous spiritual knowledge cannot originate from Me and thus you, who receive the pure truth from Me, have the right and the duty to fight it, but always beware not to offend against the law of love, that you are messengers of truth when you approach those who live in error. As soon as you, with My Word from above, can refute the doctrine they believe to have received from Me, they can, with good will, recognise who speaks to them through you. For I will always use reason to expose the error so that it can be recognised as such, and I will be able to do so through a vessel which is suitable to receive My flow of spirit ....

It is true, though, that everyone will claim to be a ‘vessel of God’ but the genuine investigator will recognise My voice and will not find it difficult to come to the right conclusion. Because error will be exposed in a manner that demonstrates knowledge. Nevertheless, people also have to employ their will in order to recognise My voice .... If this will is not present then even the most lucid reasons will not be understood, and the person will hold on to his misguided belief in spite of clarifications and appropriate references. But this is certain, every spiritual instruction by Me also reveals Me Myself as the Provider, in so far as its wording and content give evidence of a perfect Provider, Who clearly and understandably solves the kind of problems which cannot be solved intellectually .... Imperfection and ignorance are eliminated, for by the latter you humans recognise the influence of powers which are not yet perfect, not yet enlightened, to carry out My instruction of transmitting spiritual knowledge to earth ....

If the human being himself in his arrogance fails to recognise such imperfection then the pure truth given to him by My messengers will not give him clarity either, because he lacks the inner humility which would also guarantee his understanding of eternal truth. Hence time and again you will meet with resistance where the adversary has already established himself by giving false information and people are not willing to let go of him in the firm belief to have received the information from Me Myself. However, I allow every human being’s freedom of will, I will merely contact him now and again and try to make him take notice .... but only his will makes the choice ....

Amen

Reason and effect of the revelations ....

B.D. 8554 from July 10th 1963, taken from Book No. 90

You will always be guided correctly if you hand yourselves over to My guidance .... Your thinking will always be guided correctly when you request it, and I always want to give you clarification when you need it. But you must completely hand yourselves over to Me and not want to make any compromises; you are not allowed to be indecisive and still grant My opponent a right by you still turning towards the world .... I want to possess you completely in order to now also be able to be present in you and to provide you with the evidence of My presence: that I speak to you and you hear My word in you .... And you can believe it that then My opponent can no longer stay with you when I have taken up residence (in you), what proves to you My direct address. You men now need visible proofs of My presence so that your love towards Me increases and through this also your faith becomes stronger and stronger because I know it how weak you still are and what strengthening for you is a proof of My presence. I love you and want to win you for Me forever .... And therefore I again and again woo your counter-love, which will be awakened in you through My address and constantly deepen .... And that is why I also have to reveal Myself, I have to reveal Myself to you, you have to be able to recognize Me as the highest and most perfect being in every revelation, Whom you then also have to love because of His perfection, to Whom you now voluntarily give all your love. For this reason every revelation on My part will always be proof of My perfection for you humans .... From every revelation will emerge the love, wisdom and power of the being Who addresses you .... Every revelation will kindle a light in you, it will irrevocably place you into the state of realization, it will be profound and yet easily understandable for every person who is himself in the state of being allowed to hear God's address .... Every revelation on My part will radiate love, it will reveal wisdom and testify to My might, for through My word I impart extensive knowledge to you which will enable you to regain the degree of knowledge you had in the beginning .... So understand: through My address a possession is given to you, which cannot be valued highly enough. A spiritual wealth is supplied to you, which testifies to you a giver, Who has everything at His disposal and Who therefore can also give to you to an extent that your love towards Him must grow, Who gives you so much love. But this is the purpose of My revelations that you may take possession of valuable goods .... goods which only I Myself can distribute .... Goods which I will only hand out where they are worked with again according to My will: to pass on extensive knowledge to fellow human beings who cannot be addressed by Me directly .... Because I want to reveal Myself to all men as a God of love, wisdom and power. All people shall learn to love Me, and all shall attain realization, a light which shines brightly into the spiritual darkness which burdens humanity .... It is My will and My plan to break through this spiritual darkness, and men cannot bring this about with their intellectual thinking and knowledge, it must come to them from above .... from above from the kingdom of light and truth .... the pure truth. And this is always only possible through revelations on My part, through My address, which only few are able to hear directly from Me. But these few are instructed by Me to carry My word out into the world .... These few possess that extensive knowledge because it was sent to them directly from Me, and these few are regarded as My messengers, as My genuine prophets, to whom I can announce Myself at any time, in whom I can be present and prove Myself to them as a God of love, wisdom and power .... Again and again I have to tell you that from Me only valuable spiritual material is conveyed to earth .... so that I can also be recognized as the giver, for a perfect being will also only ever express Itself according to Its nature .... It will address Its creatures such that they understand It, yet what It offers will never be deficient in form and content .... The divine giver will always be recognizable by His gift .... And I want to be recognized as giver and therefore have to speak to you men in a form, which lies outside of earthly ability. The evidence must be given to you humans that it is not a person who compiles a spiritual gift for himself but that it is given to this person, that he can draw it from a source of supreme origin .... that I therefore reveal Myself and offer people a gift of grace of inestimable value .... And this you humans can test at any time if you want to know the pure truth about divine revelations, for what has come forth from Me directly stands up to every test, it will put people into a state of light .... of knowledge .... it will have an exceedingly gratifying effect and thus also awaken love for the giver .... The revelations will testify to the perfection of the giver, His love, wisdom and power will be obviously highlighted and can therefore be accepted as purest truth, which has taken its origin with Me Myself .... your God and creator from eternity .... Because as soon as light is given to you, the eternal light itself addresses you. Who now wants to walk in the light, to him it will shine brightly .... But until the end a battle will also be waged on the part of darkness against the light .... And that is why you will constantly be exposed to temptations, and always only My word from above will let you resist all these temptations, because with My word also power goes to you, and you will hold out until the end ...._>Amen

Accepting truth is a commitment .... Errors ....

B.D. 8555 from July 11th 1963, taken from Book No. 90

You are supposed to spread the truth .... That is the task you accepted voluntarily and which you should now put into practice if you want to serve Me as My disciples in the last days. But to spread the truth also includes fighting against error as soon as an error becomes evident to you. I keep telling you that you cannot be tolerant where it concerns the pure truth from Me, that you should support it firmly and not, due to alleged tolerance, allow for a continued existence of error .... You should denounce it as error and not shy away from proceeding against it, because it is My adversary's doing and will never serve to provide benefit for the human soul.

And especially you, who recognise the error because you have been instructed in the truth by Me Myself .... should not shy away from it, because you have the right to fight it. You are sent by Me amongst people as bearers of light with an ample supply of spiritual knowledge that justifies your actions against error because you are able to refute and decry it as a work of My adversary .... He is at work where error exists because only purest truth originates from Me, but he constantly tries to undermine the pure truth.

The human being has free will which will be seized by the direction of its choice. If he looks for contact with Me he will be given pure truth indeed, and he should work with it too, i.e., he should pass it on to his fellow human beings whose thoughts remain misguided as long as they are not educated by Me Myself as the Eternal Truth.

My adversary will try to work in the same manner and will also be successful with people who are not aware of the great responsibility, who do not understand what it means to receive purest truth and to pass it on .... who do not fear error as it should be feared and who therefore do not inwardly resist when My adversary tries to convey error to them. My adversary will also disguise himself as an angel of light but he will not be able to deceive you, My bearers of light. You will recognise his activity and then should also take action against it, since this is the task which you have volunteered to do for Me.

Wherever you recognise wrong thoughts you should enlighten your fellow human beings about the pure truth, you should help them to let go of the error and realise what is right. Show them their wrong opinion clearly and openly, so that they, too, will arrive at the truth and deliver themselves from My adversary, who is still able to influence them because he still somehow has a claim on those he plunged into error due to their similar inclinations .... It is not advisable to abandon such a misguided person, rather, he should be helped to recognise his error and agree to accept the truth, only then will he derive a benefit from it himself, and only then will he, too, be a true vineyard labourer for Me.

A bearer of truth cannot be tolerant and leave his fellow human beings in error due to kindness .... He should clearly point out that the other person does not think correctly, that he was influenced by My adversary irrespective of how the error was imparted to him .... For the adversary will always be able to interfere with a person's thoughts who is not so intimately in contact with Me that I can protect him .... But it is certain that I Myself do not transmit spiritual knowledge to a person which does not correspond to the truth, and this has to be clear to the person, otherwise My love, wisdom and might could in fact be doubted .... It follows that a direct transmission of My Word to a person cannot have taken place if it is associated with error ....

You humans cannot be careful enough and always have to fear the adversary's influence as long as you do not give yourselves to Me completely and ask for My protection, which I will truly grant everyone who sincerely wants to live in utmost truth and pass it on to his fellow human beings in turn, if they are destined by Me for this truth .... Error is true poison for the human soul, consequently you should take action against it and repeatedly oppose it with truth, since you received it from Me because it is necessary that light should shine into the darkness .... Your free will allows the influx of misguided thoughts, for if you would inwardly resist them in the awareness only to serve the pure truth, misguided mental concepts could not become established in you .... But I can never acknowledge that something which contradicts the pure truth has originated from Me .... You therefore should only ever make sure to spread purest truth and declare uncompromising war on error, and you will act in accordance with My will and on My behalf ....

Amen

Adversity and suffering are means to find God ....

B.D. 8556 from July 11th 1963, taken from Book No. 90

Much spiritual misery will still be spread out before you, and you are to always seek to relieve it, because men need comfort and strengthening, and this you can give to them, you who receive My word from Me, which is power and will also have an effect as power everywhere where it is willingly received. All men still move in spiritual darkness and are therefore also unhappy, but as soon as a small light is lit for them, which now illuminates their way, they will now continue this way full of hope and reach ever brighter light, then it will become day in their hearts, and they have escaped greatest trouble .... For they shall get to know Me Myself through you, they shall know that I as father take care of all My children, that they need never go through earthly life alone and abandoned if only they let Me Myself walk beside them, if they join Me, take hold of My hand and want to be guided by Me through earthly life .... Then they will also soon feel secure in Me; they will know about My will and seek to fulfil it, and thus they will establish an indissoluble bond with Me and henceforth no longer be lonely. As long as a person knows nothing about his purpose of earthly life, as long as his eyes are only turned towards the earthly world, he will still be distant from Me Myself, and he will be helpless as soon as he is struck by a stroke of fate. But if it is possible for him to turn his eyes towards the spiritual kingdom then he will also receive help from there, which can already consist of him being prompted to think about his life and its meaning .... And if it is possible for him to call upon his God and creator in hours of earthly adversity, then he need not despair, for this God and creator hears him because He is also his father and wants to be recognized as father by the human being .... And not infrequently I therefore use sorrowful means to turn the human being's thoughts towards the spiritual kingdom, for many hands now reach out to him from this spiritual kingdom and pull him up, i.e., the thoughts will then increasingly deal with the kingdom which is not of this world .... To you men, who are pressed by suffering, I am always close and only wait that you turn towards Me, that you grasp My hand and ask Me to be your companion, and you will now be able to continue your earth way unconcerned, because you are now so guided that you can mature spiritually, as soon as only your will is good .... Recognize that you alone are weak, lightless creatures, and therefore entrust yourselves to Him Who is full of light and strength, believe in My infinite love, Which does not want to see any of Its creatures unhappy or even lose them .... He will always be ready to help, be it in earthly or spiritual adversity; He will give you the right nourishment for your earthly life .... Food and drink for your soul, which He alone can administer to you .... He will impart His word to you, the bread of heaven, which you can receive at any time if you long for My word, which gives you strength because My word is blessed with My strength .... Believe that you are in close contact with your God and creator, with your father from eternity, and that only you yourselves have to turn to Him of your own free will in order to be seized by Him and safely guided until the end of your life .... If you come to Me yourselves in prayer or unite with Me in thoughts or through work in love, then you have done everything what corresponds to My will, and then you will also reach your aim, the final union with Me, which earns you eternal life. That is why you have to go over earth for a short time and are not to complain when you have to suffer or fight, but bear everything devotedly, what I let come over you, because they are always just means, which are to let you find to Me, that you join Me inwardly, that you devote yourselves to Me fully trusting .... that you establish the child relationship to Me, your father from eternity. In the world you are mostly kept from sending your thoughts into the spiritual kingdom, and I then have to touch you painfully because I want to bring Myself close to you. But blessed are you when you then take refuge in Me, because then I truly no longer let you go from Me .... And I help you to get through earth life with all burdens and sufferings, because it passes, and even if the body passes away, the soul remains, and it can now enter into an eternal life, where it will forget all sufferings and pains of this world .... And believe it, life only still lasts a short time, because soon the period of time is over, which was granted to men, soon one redemption period comes to an end, and a new one begins .... And because the way is only still short it will also be arduous at times because men shall still reach the destination who are of good will ...._>Amen

Sound of the word in the universe ....

B.D. 8557 from July 13th 1963, taken from Book No. 90

Sparks of light flash everywhere when My word can be sounded in the universe, and everywhere these sparks of light will be sprayed when My word is accepted and forwarded .... For from the source of light from eternity this light is emitted, and every spark will spread a gentle light in whose glow countless beings from Me bask, i.e. fetch strength and warmth for their path to ascent .... For they must already be on this path to ascent otherwise they shun the light and flee it because the kingdom of darkness still holds them captive and they do not feel the benefit of light. My word is the stream of light and power, which flows out from Me directly and touches all lightless and weak beingness, which does not avoid it. My word is therefore also the sure help for every fallen being, which could not come up without a help .... My word is My direct love light ray, which is to show the beingness, which is still in darkness, a way out to the light of day. Where such a spark of light can arise, souls will also find themselves, which are in trouble, because they lack light and power. And these souls I can now touch quietly with My word; I can give them bright thoughts and also touch the love spark in the heart that it gets excited and ignites and now also My love ray can have a stronger effect on them so that power and light is supplied to them and their state of trouble is remedied. My word has a great power effect, as soon as it once has been given to the soul .... no matter whether on earth or in the beyond .... could sound .... which, however, also requires free will to receive light and strength. Because where My word is rejected it also cannot become effective, then it sounds in space to be received there by souls hungry for light and power .... It will therefore sound everywhere, but the effect is determined by the beings themselves, whether they let themselves be touched by My love power current or flee it .... And this is determined by free will, which I will never force. But no being in My kingdom, whether redeemed or unredeemed, needs to do without My love power current; My word is brought to all, and every soul can go into My love current circle; it can seek out the places where My word can sound, where a receptive soul willingly opens itself to Me that I can let My love current radiate in .... And all spiritual will be allowed to hear My voice; all spiritual will be addressed by its God and creator and be able to receive power and light in all fullness .... But the measure is again determined by free will, but it will not be limited from My side, because My love is infinite, and so also I always only want to give, to make happy, with all love-glory, which is My original being .... That is why I will also not shrink back from the repulsion of My love and always just pursue the object of My love, that he once surrenders to Me, that he returns My love and now I can exchange Myself directly with him through My word .... Uninterruptedly it will sound in My kingdom and seek to convince all spiritual of My love, wisdom and power .... And where My word is received believingly, there I will also be recognized as the most perfect being, and hot love will be brought towards Me, because this is the effect of My word, that it .... since it is radiated love power .... that every being whose original element was emanated strength of love must also return to its original state .... that it is love like Me Myself and will now also be able to create and work like Me, as was its destiny in the beginning .... When the being enters the love-current again, from which it once voluntarily stepped out, then it has to be irretrievably radiated through again by My love, and this love-radiation also forms it again to its original being .... But every being is illuminated by My love power, to which My word can sound, because My word is love radiation which has become form, which every being can accept and then also its reshaping or reshaping back to its original being will take place .... And so this ray of love will be guided everywhere where only an I-conscious being is on the way of return into the father's house .... It will be guided to earth, it will penetrate into otherworldly spheres, it will shine everywhere where there is spiritual essence once radiated by Me .... Because My word means help for the still imperfect spiritual, but as it also means unlimited happiness for the spiritual already standing in light, because it is always the supply of My love power, which helps to perfection and endlessly makes happy all beings in the spiritual kingdom, which have already found to life, which lasts eternally ...._>Amen

Exceeding the power of the opponent and end ....

B.D. 8558 from July 14th 1963, taken from Book No. 90

The adversary's work is included in My plan of salvation of deification because I foresaw it from eternity that he will not change before until he is completely robbed of his attachment .... And this will still take eternities, for the immense number of once fallen spiritual beings will need eternities until their redemption from matter .... And for that long My adversary will offer Me the resistance on which the beings are to test themselves in the stage of their embodiment as a human being. But My adversary will never gain supremacy because as soon as he exceeds his authority he will be bound and completely prevented from his activity. And the 'overstepping of the authority' consists of him wanting to deprive people of all knowledge about Me, of him wanting to prevent them from making their free decision of will by confusing their concepts so that they no longer recognize between whom they are to decide .... For they must have knowledge, both of Me as well as of My adversary, and they must be able to choose freely, but therefore also know about both partners .... about their existence and about their nature and their aims .... Only then can they be called to account for their decision. In the last days before the end My adversary's intention and activity goes so far as to deprive people of their belief in the existence of a God .... to plunge people into complete disbelief in a power Which created them and before Which they will one day have to answer after the death of their body .... He goes so far that he also portrays every survival of man as erroneous, that he does not accept anything that is connected with a higher being, Which is loving, wise and powerful, and above all he undermines the knowledge and the faith in the work of redemption of Jesus Christ. So he does everything to prevent men from all intercourse with Me (man's return to Me), which is the purpose and aim of their (his) earthly life .... And since people cannot defend themselves without all knowledge of the one Who could help them in their adversity, My adversary's activity therefore far exceeds his authority. For he certainly has the right to exert his influence on people and to win them over for himself, yet he does not have the right to make My existence entirely implausible to people or to prevent them from taking notice of the fact that there is a God with Whom the human being is in closest union .... Then therefore his binding is necessary, he must be made completely harmless for a time, what is possible for My power at any time, so that mankind does not get into the danger to get completely lost .... For My endeavour will always be to help people to reach the aim one day, to return to the father from Whom they originated. I have known since eternity to what extent humanity will sink through the influence of My adversary, and then I will relentlessly intervene to prevent him from his work, and only then will I enable humanity to strive unhindered through him towards Me again .... And I also know when I allow his work again when it is necessary to test the will of men and to put him again before his decision .... My plan is fixed since eternity because everything is known to Me, the will direction of men, the power to resist the enemy and the nature of the faith of men .... which only needs to be alive to also lead to the right success .... But if everything has reached the lowest low, then I also intervene with My power and bring about a violent change .... both of the external creations which contribute to the maturing of the spiritual as well as of the human race, which .... if it fails .... has to cover the path through creation again .... And then also My opponent's work must be made impossible for a time, so that those men can strive towards Me unhindered, who belong to Me according to their will, who have detached themselves from him and who also became free from their sin guilt through the sacrifice of Jesus on the cross and His favours acquired through it and are now candidates of the kingdom, in which I alone rule, in which My opponent has no share. He certainly also has a right to people's souls, however he may not exceed his right that he prevents people from reaching their aim, for the free decision is assured to every soul, which I guarantee to it and which also My adversary has to respect .... Mankind is about to come to an end, for My adversary's raging has assumed such proportions that his hour will soon have come when he will be bound again and all influence on humanity will be taken away from him .... And then there will be a time of peace and harmony, then love alone will rule, because for a long time evil will no longer have any influence on people, because they are intimately united with Me and now also their ascent is secured and they finally return to Me, their God and father from eternity ...._>Amen

God's wooing of vineyard workers ....

B.D. 8559 from July 15th 1963, taken from Book No. 90

In spiritual unity you are to serve Me, and great blessing will arise from your activity. Again and again I recruit vineyard workers, people who have the will to be active for Me and My kingdom, who themselves are permeated by eagerness to love and who therefore also have the ability to be able to work successfully. It is always your will to love which guarantees success .... the will to help those who are in spiritual need .... This will to love will drive you from within to be active for Me, and then you will also certainly be able to record success. Because again and again I tell you: The need is great .... if only because there is not much time left and night will inevitably fall upon people who live in darkness because they did not seek the light. Just light a little light for them, so that they recognize the way, which leads out of the darkness of night to the light of the day. And consider your work for Me and My kingdom as urgent, because I have commissioned innumerable light beings for you, who will always see to it that all your earthly duties and demands are taken care of .... who stand by you in every way, where you are still earthly bound, and who also support you in every spiritual activity, because if only your earnest wanting is meant for Me, also everything else is secured, as I have promised with the words: "Seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, everything else will fall to you ...." As long as you still stand in the midst of the world, the spiritual kingdom has moved into the distance for you, and everything earthly has priority, because you can register earthly success, while the spiritual work remains seemingly unsuccessful .... But don't be deceived .... Earthly successes will melt away into nothing, but spiritual work earns you otherworldly treasures, which will one day determine the degree of your happiness. And therefore take care for the spiritual kingdom, for the time after your earthly life, which can already be over for you any day .... Therefore do not take everything earthly important, but turn all your care and attention to spiritual activity, and you will not regret it. Again and again I call you to work in My vineyard, and truly, you will receive great reward, you who comply with My call, you who endeavour to bring My gospel to your fellow human beings .... you who cultivate fallow fields .... you who scatter the seed in people's hearts, which I Myself supply to you .... You can hand out purest truth and thus offer people a delicious seed which is to sprout in their hearts and bear rich fruit .... And whoever receives this truth from Me, directly or through messengers, and passes it on to those who are still poor in spirit, who need a supply of strength in order to be able to help themselves out of spiritual hardship, he will truly earn great spiritual merit, and also earthly I want to reward his work for Me and My kingdom .... But for the sake of earthly reward you are not to do it, but love towards your fellowmen is to drive you, and this love I will also assess as love towards Me, and it will always bring you closer to Me; every unselfish work of love, which is to be regarded as right vineyard work, will unite you more and more with Me, Who am love Himself .... Just grasp the correlations, and you will find your happiness yourselves in the effort to help your fellow human beings, to bring salvation to their souls, for as soon as you recognize that all people are My creatures, which came forth from My love, you also look upon all fellow human beings as your brothers, and you also seek to unite your brothers, who are still distant from Me, with Me by announcing My will to them, the fulfilment of which is the meaning and purpose of earthly life .... And believe Me that I need you, that you are no useless servants to Me when you yourselves only want to work for My kingdom, because I will always assign the work to you so as you are able to do it; I will overtax no-one and also give to everyone the necessary power, because you are to be active in My stead. Because I Myself cannot speak to men who have so little faith that they establish no union with Me. But they are also not to remain without My address, and therefore I speak through your mouth, or also: You carry My word further to the places where there is drought, where the living water is to fertilize desolate stretches of land .... you proclaim the gospel to men, which they must hear, if salvation is still to be brought to their souls. And so speak in My stead, and this ministry I will truly reward you .... My word shall also sound to those who themselves do not take the way to Me .... to them you are to bring My word; you are to invite them to also come to the table where everyone is to be fed and watered with delicious food and delicious drink. And you can approach boldly, even if they reject you, because I will put the words into your mouth, with which you are to address them, and their hearts I will touch, that they recognize My voice, that they do not reject unwillingly, but think about it. Believe it that I need you because only men will find the way to the heart of fellowman; I Myself cannot speak to them because they would not hear My voice through their inner resistance, which they have towards their God and creator. And because I need you I again and again solicit your willingness to serve Me and My kingdom .... For the time being I address you Myself and only call upon you to pass on My gifts so that your fellow human beings also take part in them for the salvation of their souls. And if love is in you, then also the misery of the souls will take pity on you, and you will want to help them, and then also your work will be of success .... You will win souls for Me, which now no longer get lost, which feel touched by My word and now strive for Me in right eagerness. Then you all also need not fear the end, because who is Mine, him I will rescue out of all trouble ...._>Amen

Man's surrender to the divine will ....

B.D. 8560 from July 16th 1963, taken from Book No. 90

Again and again I will enlighten you as to what you should do in order to successfully take the path of return to Me during earthly life .... Again and again I will explain to you the reason for your humanity, the cause of your apostasy from Me and likewise try to make you understand that your return has to be carried out in opposition to your apostasy .... Arrogance and lust for power let you fall, humility and serving love leads you up again to My father's heart, which has pursued you with its love also into the deep and always only endeavours to make the way of return easier for you, so that your earth way has not been in vain .... You gave up your love for Me and now have to long for My love again in your deepest heart .... Everything you must do voluntarily, as you once voluntarily left Me and followed him who blinded you .... So you must now consciously turn away from him if you want to return to Me .... And so I will always announce My will to you for the time of your existence as a human being .... If you just keep to it that you do not oppose Me anew, then you also reach the aim, the union with Me, which was the original state and therefore also the state of happiness. A man who knows nothing about why and for what purpose he lives on earth, he cannot be called to account, but as soon as My will is announced to him and his earth existence is truthfully explained to him, he can no longer escape his responsibility. He can reject this knowledge as untrustworthy, but it will arise again and again in his thoughts, and he must inwardly deal with it .... Therefore his earthly life can also be an idle run, he can sink back in his degree of development or enter the kingdom of the beyond with an eclipsed spirit, where he will also still be offered the possibility to come to knowledge if he does not strive towards the deepest depth, which can earn him a renewed banishment again. But as long as a redemption period has not yet expired he still has the possibility to ascend out of the depth, out of darkness, to the light .... But indescribably happy will the soul be when it already reaches its aim on earth or enters the spiritual kingdom with a small degree of knowledge, which it can and will increase there at any time, as soon as it has received light just once, as soon as it has found faith in Me, its God and redeemer, on earth and handed itself over to Me. It is just exceedingly necessary that all men are instructed in this truthful knowledge about their sense of existence and purpose; it is so necessary that men are found who are willing to pass on such knowledge .... But it also always requires a certain willingness to accept the knowledge, for people cannot be forcibly led to the light because their return to Me has to be voluntary, just as their apostasy from Me was also voluntary .... And their willingness to accept depends again on their degree of love, which every person can let flare up in himself because I have added a tiny spark of My love to him for the time of his human existence on this earth .... Therefore it is possible for every man to also come to knowledge about his actual purpose of existence, but it always depends on his free will whether he brings the little spark of love in him to flare up. Where you now can, you are to teach your fellowmen; you are to just seek to stimulate their thoughts, and light beings will then switch on, which further have an effect on the thoughts of those who are not completely unwilling. Since the return of every soul to Me is My ultimate aim, I will truly also bless you who voluntarily render Me your services in this work of return, who receive My instructions and thus carry them out as faithful servants of the lord, to Whom you voluntarily offered yourselves for this work in recognition of the great spiritual adversity, which requires your full commitment. I can instruct you Myself, what however is not possible with every man, and that is why you are to speak as man to man and pass on the knowledge, which you receive from Me, to those, who desire it or just open their ear to you without resistance to listen to you. All people should only ever bear in mind that their earthly lifetime is limited .... but that the death of the body is not the end but the actual human being's ego .... the soul .... lives on, and indeed in the state which it has prepared for itself on earth .... And so that this state may be a blessed one, all you humans should only fulfil My will, which I constantly announce to you through My word .... Therefore listen to My messengers, who bring you My word, and not only be hearers but doers of My word .... and truly, you will reach your aim still on earth and reach life, which lasts eternally ...._>Amen

Jesus must be accepted as Savior ....

B.D. 8561 from July 17th 1963, taken from Book No. 90

Who gets to Jesus in life, is guaranteed to return to Me, because by Jesus he will be set free from all guilt of sins, that is between Me and My creature.The recognition of Jesus and His work of redemption can not be avoided, to be free of the guilt of sins. And it must be the devotion to Jesus consciously, it must be intimate desire of the heart, to enter into communion with Him, it must not be only a form of faith, that every man may have as a result of his education or teachings, to which he himself does not have taken yet a position and has come to a living faith in Him as the Son of God and Savior of the world .... But think seriously on these things, that not the belonging to a church guarantees once to depart redeemed from the earth and enter into the spiritual kingdom. Everything that is taught you by the church about Jesus Christ, that must have become spiritual ideas, you shall even have stated yourselves a position to this, and then it will only decide, whether you possess a living or a dead faith, that only does not contradict, but also does not fully recognize, because it makes him indifferent to what the churches teach, but nevertheless he feels as a Christian and his faith is to do his duty, if he keeps the commandments, that the church demands of him .... You must be instructed truthfully about the meaning and reason of the work of redemption of Jesus Christ .... And just this knowledge is to be found still slightly among the people, because they all adhere a certain indifference, because people only think little about spiritual questions and particulary in the end time they almost are entirely without faith in a realm beyond the earth, although this realm is their true home .... Therefore, it is always a blessing for the people, when it is advised by vineyard workers on Jesus Christ and His act of salvation .... when the people are given impulse to think about, who Jesus really was and what was His mission on earth. This is such an important task to My vineyard workers to mention Jesus and His act of salvation again and again, because alone the future lot is depending on the attitude of man to Him, which can be blissful, but also endlessly painful, and the man himself creates that during earthly life. And I will make it far easier for you people to believe in Him, when I Myself give you a knowledge about it from above .... that I work unusual by the spirit and everything that, what no man else could know and claim, make known him and explain, how everything is connected, so that man now can believe convinced, if he deepends into knowledge, given by messengers and if he is full of good intentions .... people can no longer bring forward proof of the existence of the man Jesus, but everything is just handed down to them, and therefore many people decline it .... But again and again I let send information over it to a man anew, as he has prepared himself as a vessel for the stream of My spirit, that then can pour into him .... and now is the guarantee for it, that the purest truth is approaching people from Him, Who knows everything and even if it’s still so far behind, and Who can also equip you people with this knowledge, because He has the power to it. And because it is extremely important, that you people get knowledge about it, that you are not allowed to pass by Jesus Christ, that you must ask Him for the redemption of your guilt, then to be admitted into the kingdom of light, when you leave the earth, I will send you people again and again, who impart you this knowledge, I will help you to find the way to the cross, and I will give you the strength to go this path, but you must voluntarily open yourselves and accept, what My messengers want to convey to you, it will not be your damage, but you will thank Me for ever, that I put down and explain the act of salvation of Jesus Christ in this way to you, that it is credible for you and you now go the way to the cross consciously .... Because Jesus alone opens the gates of the kingdom of light, which were closed to you since your falling away from Me .... He alone took your guilt upon Himself and atoneded it through His death on the cross, and He alone leads you back to Me, your Father from eternity, from whom you are started at the beginning ....

Amen

Truthful knowledge can lessen resistance ....

B.D. 8562 from July 18th 1963, taken from Book No. 90

Regardless of what earthly objections you encounter, firmly hold on to the fact that you are working on My behalf even if they call you fantasists and deny your direct bond with Me, your God and Creator. They are unable to understand as long as they have not established this bond themselves, but those of you who have already attained it shall not let yourselves be shaken by them, for they still belong to the world, while you already aspire to the spiritual kingdom, which is not of this world. People will often be so distant from Me that they will ridicule your faith in My presence .... But you hold visible proof in your hands .... you are in possession of My Word, which has not come forth from any other source but from Me directly, for you will be able to prove to them that you have not received it through any other means than through the working of the spirit in you .... Anyone who listens to you will be able to verify the truth of this statement, but anyone who instantly refuses to listen is and will remain completely uninformed, and thus he will forfeit a great gift of grace because he fails to make use of it and, without blessings, he will never be able to become blissfully happy. Every person must dare to take the step from the earthly into the spiritual kingdom, only then will his understanding grow, he will look upon everything with different eyes, then he will allow for a second life beside the purely earthly life and only then will his earthly life gain in significance, because then he will have a goal he consciously wants to reach. Yet it will become increasingly rare for a person to form a serious opinion about the spiritual knowledge you offer to him, usually they won’t even listen to you in the first place but instantly reject any kind of spiritual discussion, they find everything inconvenient which might awaken in them the slightest sense of responsibility, they are so deeply involved with the earthly world that a spiritual kingdom seems doubtful to them and therefore they do not want to deal with spiritual subjects either. Nor can you provide them with proof unless you prove that your knowledge is something unusual so that they will have to believe that people are directly addressed by a God and Creator, yet they will only be able to gain this faith if they are of good will themselves, because no person will ever be influenced against their will .... For this reason nothing else can be done for the salvation of such unbelieving souls than to repeatedly draw their attention to the actual purpose of earthly life and to stimulate their mental activity. And I will always support your efforts through destined interventions, so that people will have to face up to situations in life when they will find themselves helpless and thereby must learn to recognise a higher Power above themselves .... So that for the time being they would have to deal with other thoughts than purely with the earthly world. Then they will also be more accessible to spiritual conversations. Nevertheless, it is a great blessing if such people are confronted by a true messenger .... appointed by Me Myself, for then he need not search in the first place, instead, the truth is carried to him, and with good will realisation would come much easier to him. For the truth will not fail to have its desired effect, it will be easily understood and also please a person who takes possession of it.

And thus it will only ever be your task to inform your fellow human beings of My working on and in yourselves, so that they will first reflect on it and then can be inwardly taught by the world of light .... so that they will start to think about it and subsequently may always approach you for confirmation, because you advocate the same spiritual knowledge which is mentally offered to them by the world of light .... always providing that they desire the truth .... that they not only thoughtlessly accept what is presented to them but that they only want to recognise and accept what is right .... If someone bluntly rejects you, let him be, but take care of those who are undecided and only need to be introduced to the right knowledge in order to accept it. No greater means of help can be offered to people anymore than the transmission of My Word from above .... For this contains the strength which will also impress those who are still spiritually weak, who merely require an impetus in order to gain faith .... and who will surely receive this impetus if they are given an explanation as to why they live on earth .... A truthful reason for their earthly existence can tear down a person’s every resistance and make him receptive for additional knowledge. And you, My servants on earth, can at all times provide your fellow human beings with this truthful knowledge and they will not be able to disregard it .... However, you must always give them the opportunity to pose questions, which you will then answer correctly. The truth will always be effective; it will be understood by those who seriously ask you with the will to find the right answer. Nevertheless, those who lack this will won’t believe you and thus the work of leading them to the spiritual path will be unsuccessful. And if you, who possess the pure truth, cannot succeed, then it will definitely not be possible for other people who know too little themselves to instruct their fellow human beings. And time and again I will still make use of the means which can be successful, such as severe strokes of fate, diseases and suffering, in which they can recognise their own helplessness and turn to the Power Which they must acknowledge above themselves .... I will react to the slightest thought of Me and truly, it will only be in your best interest, for it is not My will that even one person should go astray, instead, it is My will to give everyone the life which lasts forever.

Amen

Feeding the knowledge of earth life purpose ....

B.D. 8563 from July 19th 1963, taken from Book No. 90

I will always supply you with the knowledge, which you need to cover your earth way successfully. And that is why you should also learn about the cause and purpose of your existence as a human being, in order to then conduct your earthly change in accordance with this knowledge, for as soon as you know where you originated from and the relationship you have with the power Which brought you into being, you will now also consciously live .... recognizing that you should change your nature to love, because your original element is love, which you only rejected self-willedly when you once distanced yourselves from Me, Who is eternal love Itself .... You are My share, you emerged from Me, and since My primal element is love you therefore had to be the same in your substance .... But at the beginning of your embodiment as man you lack love, for you once gave it away voluntarily .... And during earth life you are to achieve a complete change of your nature so that you become again what you were in the beginning that your nature is pure love and now you yourselves are in most intimate contact with Me again and are unimaginably happy. As long as you humans are without knowledge you will do nothing to change your nature into love. Therefore I always endeavour to convey this knowledge to you. You are to be enlightened through My servants about your purpose of existence. But only those servants can give you a truthful enlightenment, which they have received from Me themselves, and you are to listen to these .... I have always spoken to men, and I will always speak to them to give them knowledge about their earth assignment, about My will and about all connections, which now also justify their assignment as well as My will .... But this knowledge is not to be proven; it must be believed, but can also be believed, because the inner spirit spark, which slumbers in every man, can give man the certainty from within and man then no longer needs proof. The spiritual spark is the proof of My endless love towards the once fallen one, which turned away from Me and gave itself to his love .... For without love a return to Me was never possible .... And therefore I put a spark of My love into every human heart, and this spark of love is the spirit which can and will inform you humans from within if only you allow it to express itself, if only you listen to it and follow its instructions .... For he will stimulate you to be active in love, and if you follow his suggestion you already start the transformation of your nature, you enter the path of return to Me, for love brings about the complete transformation of the nature, love approaches Me as the eternal love .... To work with love is to fulfil My will, to work with love means to enter the original state where the being could not work in any other way than in love .... Your earthly task now consists of you achieving this change back into your original state, of you doing everything to mature .... that you discard all your vices and desires, weaknesses and faults .... that you perfect yourselves into divine creatures, that you completely detach yourselves from him who is to blame for your low state and who also wants to keep you in the deep .... You must become free from him, and that requires a constant fight against your passions and urges, which are signs of belonging to your adversary, through which he keeps you tied to him and which you can well fight and overcome if you make use of My help for this .... For you are too weak on your own, you lack strength as a result of your past sin of repelling My strength of love .... Therefore you must accept My help, which I have acquired for you through My sacrificial death on the cross. You must know all this, and therefore it is My greatest concern to inform you of it truthfully, only then you can mentally take a stand on it yourselves and now act as your heart commands you .... And as soon as you are of good will your heart will also instruct you correctly, it will inwardly urge you to fulfil My will .... You will live a life of love and thus work on the transformation of your nature, on the change of self-love .... which is still the sign of adversarial influence .... into unselfish neighbourly love, into pure, divine love, which never demands but gives, which always seeks only to please and never demands the fulfilment of its own desires .... And thus the soul .... the real I of man .... will again enter into the divine order from which it had once stepped out and therefore fell to the deep. It will now ascend again and come closer to Me inwardly until it will unite with Me and now also come to life again, which lasts forever ...._>Amen

Process of return ....

B.D. 8564 from July 20th 1963, taken from Book No. 90

Nothing can be lost forever once it has arisen from Me and My strength .... It continues to exist because it is everlasting and will infallibly return to Me as the eternal source of strength, because this is based on My law of eternal order. However, the being which came forth from Me as a perfect and divine being was also able to voluntarily reverse its nature into the opposite, it was able to relinquish its perfection and shape itself into an anti-divine being .... And so it did and was not stopped by Me because I pursued a plan, because I had a goal in mind for all 'created' beings: that they would become My 'children' which I was unable to 'create', instead, they had to shape themselves into it of their own free will .... Thus I did not prevent their apostasy from Me but prepared a process of return for all once fallen beings: I reshaped the strength I once emanated as a being into all kinds of works of creation .... I dissolved the beings into countless minute particles, which animated the works of creation and thus the strength became active again according to My will .... that is, every work of creation had to fulfil its designated task as a matter of natural law, for I created nothing without reason and purpose .... Each work of creation had its function and thus My love and wisdom and might created an earthly world which sheltered all these fallen tiny particles of soul which gradually increased in maturity because they were intended to one day come together again as individual beings, and this is because they were intended to embody themselves in a human being as the once fallen original spirit in order to pass the final test of will: to voluntarily turn to Me again, just as it had once voluntarily turned away from Me .... And this infinitely long path of higher development signifies a path of service for the tiny particles dissolved from the original being .... in contrast to the fall, which was based on the being's arrogance and thirst for power .... The return can only take place by way of constant service which, admittedly, happens in the state of compulsion until sooner or later, in the state of a human being, the being shall voluntarily be of service, driven by love .... which then will guarantee its certain perfection on this earth. The path the once fallen being has to take until it can make its final decision in the state of free will as a human being is infinitely long .... This path is so excruciatingly painful that his past memory has been taken away from the human being because he should make a free decision and the knowledge of the agony and suffering in the bound state would enslave his freedom of wanting and thinking as a human being .... For fear would impel him into making the right decision, but this would be utterly worthless for the soul and its perfection ....

The human being should freely want to be of service for the sake of love and attaining maturity himself, this is why he lives on earth .... For the human being is the once fallen original spirit to whom My infinite love opens up all possibilities in order to become again what he had been in the beginning: a supremely perfect being but which has attained perfection of its own free will which I was unable to give to the being and thereby the 'created work' has become My image, My 'child' .... This is the goal had I set Myself from the start, which required an infinitely long path of development and which is to be understood as 'My eternal plan of Salvation' .... And now you humans know that you are these fallen spirits and have almost reached the goal of voluntarily uniting yourselves with Me which, in turn, means that you should change yourselves into love in order to be able to unite with Me, the eternal Love .... Now you know that your existence did not simply start as a human being but that you already existed for a very long time .... You know that you did not originate from Me in the state that cannot be called perfect, for as humans you have weaknesses and faults, you are not perfect creatures and therefore cannot have come forth from Me in this state, since I can only create something perfect .... And this knowledge should make you think and also lead to the realisation that your earthly life must have a purpose: to achieve the perfection again which was yours in the very beginning and which you voluntarily gave up .... Thus you also know your task which consists of changing into love, which is your fundamental element, for you are the same as I Am in your fundamental substance .... Admittedly, as a human being you are still far removed from perfection, nevertheless, you are and remain divine living creations which can never cease to exist anymore and whose perfection I will take care of time and again, who I will never let fall and who one day will very certainly reach the final goal of being and remaining intimately united with Me for all eternity .... The fact that you know little about it is only due to your weak degree of love, otherwise you would be fully enlightened and also close to perfection. Nevertheless, the knowledge of it is given to you by My side as long as you are merely willing to accept it .... as long as you merely desire to know the correlations concerning you, your God and Creator of eternity and the whole of Creation .... Then you really will be instructed in all truthfulness and also consciously travel your path on earth with the goal of final union with Me .... You will attain perfection and a life in beatitude which will last forever ....

Amen

God assures vineyard workers of help ....

B.D. 8565 from July 21st 1963, taken from Book No. 90

You may expect every help from Me if you are willing to serve Me .... be this help spiritual or also earthly .... I will always direct your thoughts so that you are active in My will. Because again and again I tell you that there is no longer much time and that you cannot work diligently enough for Me and My kingdom. But I will also support you in every way because I alone know where and how your vineyard work still has a beneficial effect. I know it where men are who feel touched by My direct address, who accept them happy when you speak to them on My behalf. I also know in which degree of maturity every single soul stands and how I now can give to it according to this maturity. From you I only demand good will and voluntary devotion to Me, and truly, your ways will be right and always lead there where I need your services. And you will also obviously experience the proof of My presence; you will find the truth of My word confirmed, because also your daily experience will be so that you know Me present with you and that you therefore also do not need to worry at all. And in this My presence you are to know yourselves to be safe at any time, then you will trustingly carry out every daily work, always in the certainty that you do it for Me and are therefore directed right. More and more I want to tie you to Me; deeper and deeper the feeling of spiritual union with Me is to take root in you; more and more firm is to be your faith in My guidance, so that you now also do your spiritual work in all confidence that it brings the right success for yourselves as well as for all souls, to whom you seek to bring salvation, may it be on earth or also in the kingdom on the other side. And you are to convey My word to all of them, which is intended to help them achieve maturity of soul .... And even if the world again and again wants to put itself into the foreground .... My word will lead you back into silence .... When you hear or read My word, you will also be able to detach yourselves from the world; you will be connected with the spiritual kingdom, which is your true home, and you will stretch out your arms longingly towards there, be drawn by the light beings of My kingdom and also willingly follow them. For much light will be emitted by these beings upon you who voluntarily offer yourselves to Me for service .... They are happy to find eager co-workers on earth, and now also stand by you helpfully in every way, because to all spiritual full of light I hand you over for care, and truly, you will lack nothing .... Earthly and spiritually they will take care of you on My behalf, and you can tackle your daily work without hesitation; it will be a blessing for you .... And you will also understand that I do not speak to people on earth without purpose, that every one of My words is a flow of grace with an unheard-of effect on people's souls, and that is why I also want to bless you who contribute to My word being able to touch many people who no longer remain in resistance to Me. As soon as I can address a man Myself, there is also hope that he not only listens to My word, but lives it out, and then his earth course is truly no longer unsuccessful, then he will achieve it that his soul matures still on earth, and then also his endless long course of development before has not been in vain; after the death of his earthly body he will be able to enter into the realms of the blessed, because he has used the power, which flowed to him through My word .... He used it to change his nature into love .... And this alone is My aim, and also the workers in My vineyard are always only to bring My word to men, which teaches love, and who accepts it and lives it out, he will also accomplish the return to Me, which is purpose and aim of earth life .... And therefore you can all help Me who want to serve Me, so that not a single soul gets lost, but all come to life, which lasts forever ...._>Amen

Process of creation and apostasy of the beings ....

B.D. 8566 from July 22nd 1963, taken from Book No. 90

Believe Me, I will gladly instruct you when I recognise your longing for truthful knowledge, because I only emanate light and this light permeates the darkness .... However, you are still in an area of darkness where light has to be sent to you until you are so filled by it that you can also pass it on again yourselves .... But you will be receptive for My ray of light as soon as you desire clarification about regions which are still in darkness to you .... Then I can illuminate you, I can once again gradually return you to the state of enlightenment and introduce you to knowledge which will make you happy. And there shall be light in you, you shall know where you came from and your final goal on earth .... You can only receive this knowledge from Me Myself, Who created you for My pleasure ....

You came forth from Me Myself .... My strength of love externalised living creations who were like Me Myself, who were independent beings .... created by Me as miniatures of Myself. I gave life to these creations, i.e. they were able to create and work like Me, they were also able to hear My voice and therefore knew of Me Myself as their God and Creator, and they were faithfully devoted to Me and tremendously happy .... But you humans know little or nothing about the kingdom of these once blissful spirits .... This kingdom was originally created when I wanted to recognise Myself in images of Myself, when I created vessels into which I could pour My love .... I created spiritual beings because My infinite love wanted to give itself, it wanted to flow into similar beings whose perfection gave Me unimaginable bliss .... I created a spiritual world with living inhabitants for My delight, I populated it with creations of the most magnificent kind and rejoiced in the beings' bliss, to whom I gave such happiness because love, which was and remains My fundamental nature, motivated Me to do so ....

This spiritual world existed for an infinitely long time in harmony and most intimate unity of all beings with Me, their Creator and Provider .... For an infinitely long time these beings' will and love concurred with Mine .... Because the first created being, which I Myself had externalised in complete perfection, loved Me deeply and devotedly. It found unlimited bliss by constantly creating new beings brought to life through his will and the use of My strength .... which corresponded to My will, because the love this being felt for Me resulted in the same will. Consequently, there was no discord in the spiritual world, nothing contradicted My will, it was a world of unlimited happiness because all spiritual beings were teeming with light and strength and were able to create by using their own will .... which was also My will as long as the strength of My love permeated all My living creations .... But this perfect state did not last .... For I did not constrain the spiritual beings by My will, I gave free will to every single being as a sign of its divinity ....

The first created being .... Lucifer .... also had this free will .... and he misused it .... However, Lucifer could have voluntarily wanted the same as I Myself and he would have been infinitely happy and remained so forever .... But he misused his freedom of will and directed it wrongly, which resulted in a spiritual rebellion the consequences of which you humans cannot possibly understand. Nevertheless, you humans are the products of this past spiritual rebellion .... Lucifer, the first created being, with whom I was in constant contact through the Word, was able to think, as were all created beings, and therefore he was also able to infer a wrong meaning to My Word .... He had free will and could therefore also change the direction of his mind. He was able to leave the law of eternal order and set up completely wrong concepts and, by doing so, caused mental confusion in himself as well as in the beings who followed him, which resulted in momentous consequences .... He also transferred his wrong thoughts to the beings brought to life by his will and the use of My strength .... A general opposition to Me ensued, the beings resisted Me, they no longer accepted My illumination of love unreservedly and thereby grew weaker and darker .... They revolted against the law of eternal order, their thoughts made their own way ....

This resulted in an incredible chaos in the host of the first created spirits who then had to decide whom they should follow .... which resulted in the desertion of countless beings from Me. However, I did not put to a stop to it, I only saw in it a means which would lead to even greater bliss than I could give the 'created' beings .... who certainly had emanated from Me in all perfection but who nevertheless were always just My 'work' .... Now, after the apostasy from Me, they had the opportunity to return again as 'children' which would heighten their bliss by far, because the return to Me as a 'child' has to be achieved entirely voluntarily but then the being will be completely independent from Me, My power and My will, yet it will exist totally within My will since, due to its perfection, it will have totally accepted My will .... You humans are on this way of return to Me while you live on this earth, and if you are of good will My eternal light of love can permeate you once again, and all the knowledge you once possessed but voluntarily surrendered can be regained by you .... And I know of no greater bliss than to give you this knowledge, than to offer you My immense love and to change your state of darkness and ignorance, so that you will become as you were in the beginning, so that you will achieve unlimited happiness again, so that you will reach your goal and return as true children to Me, your Father of eternity, Whose love is and eternally will be for you who once came forth from His love ....

Amen

"Flesh and blood" .... spiritualf food ....

B.D. 8567 from July 23rd 1963, taken from Book No. 90

The spiritual food you receive is truly suitable to give your soul health, to give you strength in all earthly and spiritual adversities and to make you able to emerge from this earthly life as overcomers .... as overcomers of the world of My adversary, of matter and its fetters. I supply the soul with the right nourishment, which guarantees it perfection, if it lets itself be fed and watered by Me .... I have promised you My flesh and My blood, and this is to be understood so that I Myself am the word that became flesh .... that I Myself therefore offer Myself to you for food, because I Myself am the word, and My word is life and therefore also gives life to those who receive My word, who move it in their hearts and lead their earth walk according to My word. I promised you My flesh and My blood when I walked on earth .... My word with My strength, which will create a fundamental change in every person who therefore lets himself be fed and watered by Me. And again this is to be understood so that My love illumination hits you, as soon as you are allowed to receive My word, that love is power in itself and therefore also has to bring about a change in you .... that love power will again stimulate to love work and through this already the change of the soul to love takes place, which is meaning and purpose of your earth life. But you can never carry out this change of your nature to love when you are powerless, when you are not helped through supply of power, because you yourselves possess no power at the beginning of your embodiment as man, since you once voluntarily gave yourselves to power and therefore have to receive it again from Me as gift of favour, to now also be able to carry out the purpose of your earth life, exactly this change of your nature to love. And this supply of power secures you My word, My flesh and My blood, which will truly help you to complete recovery of the soul. Your soul needs a supply of strength out of Me, because without this it remains weak and incapable to overcome the world and earthly matter; it remains incapable to connect with Me, because it also cannot muster power for love work, which however alone connects it with Me .... But who lets himself be addressed by Me, who accepts My word with his power, who now also lives according to My word, since My word also announces My will to him, his soul certainly matures and reaches its earth life purpose, the intimate union with Me, which lets it become My child, which once will create and work in all freedom with and beside Me, as it was its purpose in the beginning. And so you can see from it that it is very necessary that the right food must be supplied to you men for your soul and that you cannot receive it everywhere, but you must drink the water of life at the spring, which I Myself open up for you, so that I can offer you My word in purest form, that it has not already been formed through human will and you then can no longer speak of the pure soul food, which helps you to full recovery. And you can see that every man does great services for Me who voluntarily offers to receive soul food from Me and to hand it out or to call the guests to My table, that I Myself can hold communion with them, that I Myself can feed and water them and will also truly give them that what helps them to become blessed, what gives them light and power to resist, to overcome everything what still burdens the soul and from which it is to become free during its earth life. You can indeed also receive My word at places where it is officially offered, and even then it can become the right food and the right drink for you if you earnestly desire to request My word from Me .... Then you will truly receive what serves your soul, and you will be rightly guided yourselves in your thinking that you only receive pure truth and do not let yourselves be impressed by error, which certainly can also flow in through influence of My opponent at those places where My spirit is not directly admitted to work, where the announcers of the word themselves have not yet fulfilled the prerequisites that My spirit can work in them. Nevertheless, the listener's desire is decisive as to what nourishment is offered to his soul, and he need only ever establish the close bond with Me and appeal to Me for the supply of My word, and he will also receive it .... But if the opportunity is offered to you to receive My word which is directly conveyed to earth, then let yourselves be addressed by it, refresh yourselves with the delicious good which flows from the source and know that you will recover from it and overcome all your weaknesses, for My word is blessed with My strength, it is in truth My flesh and My blood which is offered to your soul for nourishment and which you shall gratefully accept from My hand, for I want your soul to become healthy and will therefore also provide it with everything that helps it to achieve final perfection ...._>Amen

Why is God speaking to people? ....

B.D. 8568 from July 24th 1963, taken from Book No. 90

Consider, you humans, what it means when your God and Creator draws close to you in order to speak to you Himself, for thereby He must be pursuing a goal which you are unable to grasp in its full depth .... I bend down to you Myself in order to speak to you, thus it must be very important that you hear My Word, that you receive certain knowledge from Me because I deem the latter necessary. I don't just pass on admonitions or warning to you but try to raise your degree of realisation and provide you with instructions of how the latter can be accomplished .... First I want to remove the darkness in which you live, and thus I also want to tell you what is causing this darkness and how you can resolve it, I want to enlighten you because the darkness is a wretched state for you given that in darkness you cannot find the right path to the light of day.

You renounced all light, all realisation .... You don't know anything about Me anymore, your God and Creator Who wants to be your Father; you don't know anything about yourselves, what you were in the beginning, why you changed and for what purpose you live on earth .... And this is an ignorant state which cannot be called divine. You, however, are of divine origin, you once were perfect and thus you also were illuminated, you knew of everything, of My overwhelming love which constantly permeated you and prevented the said darkness, so that you brightly and clearly understood all correlations and possessed the knowledge which only a divine being was able to possess. You voluntarily relinquished this knowledge, the light, the realisation, and fell into the dark state .... your concepts became confused, and you were no longer able to understand anything, neither yourselves and the purpose of your existence nor the relationship with Me .... with the One from Whose strength of love you emerged .... You plunged into darkness, and the darkness will keep you imprisoned until you voluntarily desire My illumination of love again, which will also grant you a light of realisation once more.

And into this darkness My Word rings out from above .... Can you comprehend the depth of My love which wants to grant everything to you again which you once renounced of your own free will? .... Can you therefore recognise the tremendous value of My Word as the greatest gift of grace on My part which I impart to people in order to make their retransformation into love easy and possible? I Am speaking to you directly, I Am bridging the vast gulf which still exists between us and I Am sending a flow of grace from the kingdom of light onto earth, which is intended to irrigate and revitalise the extensive spiritual drought on the dark earth .... I want to change the miserable state people live in and present them with the help to find their way out of the state of darkness by sending them a beacon of light if only they are willing to accept it and allow it to illuminate their future path of earthly life, so that they will find their goal for sure, which will only ever be in the light and never in darkness .... It is a greater than great act of compassion which I bestow upon humanity that I offer those who once rejected the light of love, the same light of love again, that I send it to earth despite the fact that people don't express any desire for it apart from a few, whom I use as go-between bearers so that they will carry the light where darkness still prevails ....

Yet all people may partake in it, I don't want to withhold My gift of grace from any human being, I want to guide every single person into My sphere of light and try to illuminate him, so that he will begin to sense the correlations, think about them and then be able to be guided by the world of light, which only ever waits for a person to become accessible to their loving care .... And I will keep radiating light down to earth, for the darkness will continue to intensify before the end; but the light will shine for anyone who desires it .... He will enter the state of realisation again because I Myself will initiate him into profound knowledge, which cannot be given to him from external sources unless he accepts it from one of My messengers whom I have guided into this knowledge Myself .... I will still offer My gifts of grace to many people, and even if someone just asks for a small light, it will shine for him and guide him into truthful knowledge which will also make him happy .... For I will still pour out an abundance of My gifts of love before the end, and anyone of good will can still change his unsatisfactory state until the end, he can accept light and increase it himself through a life of love, and he will not have to fear the end once he knows the purpose and goal of his earthly life and then also consciously strives towards this goal .... For then his will shall have made the right decision, he will want to return to Me and thus will also safely reach his goal ....

Amen

Transforming power into creations ....

B.D. 8569 from July 25th 1963, taken from Book No. 90

All I-conscious beingness, which had fallen away from Me, had to be dissolved, for as beings they no longer fulfilled their purpose which I had assigned to them, instead they would have worked against Me if they had still been capable of doing so .... However, they rejected My strength of love which would have enabled them to continue their activity .... And so they hardened within themselves, which is why I dissolved them into countless little particles, thus reshaped the power once emitted as 'being' into creations of a different kind, which were now at the bottom of the reason that beingness in other deformations. When you now look at the works of creation around you, then know that they all hold the fallen spiritual, which did not want to serve Me according to My will and now serves in the state of compulsion, i.e. is caused to its activity by natural law. Because every earthly work of creation has its purpose and its destiny; it serves for the coming into being or the preservation of again other works of creation, as this My love and wisdom recognized as purposeful and suitable to bring the spiritual to maturity, which is hidden in them. The former I-conscious beingness in free will resisted the illumination of My love power, and therefore it also resisted all work in My will. It lost the I-consciousness because it was dissolved into its original substance, into the power, which is now again recognizable in all works of creation .... For all power, which flowed out of Me, as the original source of power, must become effective according to My will .... I will know how to prevent an activity against My will and therefore I placed the fallen being into a state where it thus became effective in My will insofar as that it had to serve and thereby its ascent development was also guaranteed, which is the purpose and aim of every work of creation: to bring the spiritual substances bound in it to maturity until all dissolved substances have gathered again and become the self-aware being again as which I once created it ..... in order to then live on earth as a human being again with the aim and purpose to completely integrate itself into My will and thus to find unification with Me .... In the stage as a human being the being is self-aware again, and it now also experiences My will, which it only needs to comply with in order to also reach the final aim .... the union with Me, for My will only demands a way of life in love .... My will is that the being transforms all self-love, which adheres to it as inherited evil of My adversary, into unselfish neighbourly love .... My will is only a transformation of its being, which is devoid of all love, to love for Me and for the neighbour .... The being must inevitably want to accept the love again which once rejected it, only then can it return to Me and be accepted as My child into My kingdom of light and glory .... Only then has the process of return, which every fallen being has to complete, been successful, and the being has returned to Me into its father's house .... When you know about the actual meaning and purpose of earthly life then you will also make an effort to fulfil My will, and you will also be aware of the responsibility of earthly life as a human being .... You will also desire to experience more, for the desire for light will be awakened in you as soon as you just don't resist My illumination of love, which can always take place when the human being turns to Me in thought, in prayer or in activity of love .... For he is to prove his will turned towards Me during earthly life in order to testify to his conscious return to Me .... This last decision of will on earth is demanded of man because he is now again the I-conscious being, which once directed his will wrongly, and he now must openly announce the change of his will to be able to be taken up again into his old child rights, to be able to be illuminated again by Me with My love, as it was in the beginning .... Because now the being will also utilize the love power again in My will .... It will be active in the spiritual kingdom creating and shaping, and it will never ever loosen the bond with Me because its love towards Me has become so powerful that it fills it completely .... You are only to receive knowledge again and again about what you were, what you are and what you are to become .... Because this alone establishes your purpose of earth life, and if you deal with such knowledge, then you also live your earth existence consciously. And this is what I aim at through My direct address from above, that you do not pass through your earthly life indifferently and completely disregard purpose and aim, and I will also never cease to impart knowledge about this to you humans so that you should also recognize Me Myself and you now also consciously approach Me and thereby pass your last test of earthly life .... so that you will finally return to Me and be happy again, as you were in the beginning ...._>Amen

God's blessing rests on vineyard work ....

B.D. 8570 from July 26th 1963, taken from Book No. 90

I want to smooth the ways for you in every way that you recognize by it how important your work is for Me and My kingdom. You are never to believe that I do not value this work enough, because I alone can judge it, and truly, you can achieve much and do Me and also the souls an exceedingly great service, which you supply to Me. For you humans it only ever seems important what results in earthly success, what is visible or tangible to you, what you achieve in terms of honour and fame, in terms of human prestige. But spiritual activity is paid little attention to because its successes cannot be seen; they again can only be recognized and pursued by spiritually awakened men. But you men only live on earth for the sake of one aim, to spiritualize yourselves, to help your soul to a high degree of maturity, and that is why that alone is important for you, what has the spiritual kingdom as aim, and every vineyard worker contributes to bring Me and My kingdom closer to men, to put the right aim before their eyes and to move men themselves to strive for Me and My kingdom. And for this I bless them, for I need co-workers on earth, I need people who present My divine teaching of love to their fellow human beings in My stead, who encourage them to fulfil My will, who draw their attention to their earthly task and who spiritually advise and help them to comply with their earthly task .... I need people who voluntarily offer themselves to Me for this cooperation, whom I can then train again to become right teachers, for people must be offered purest spiritual knowledge in a natural way, and My servants must therefore receive this spiritual knowledge from Me Myself and pass it on .... People need teachings which correspond to the truth .... which I alone can impart to them alone .... For this reason I will incessantly seek to convey My word to earth and bless everyone who voluntarily opens himself to Me, who allows himself to be taught by Me directly, who thinks through and lives out My word himself and stands up for it ever more convincingly .... For I will never leave people without help during their earthly progress, I will always provide them with what they need so that their earthly progress will be successful. But I can only rarely have a direct effect because people do not establish a direct bond with Me .... therefore I must seek through mediators to achieve that they listen to Me, and these mediators have a beautiful task:... to speak in My stead and to convey to people everything I want to say .... Then they are enabled to do so because I Myself address them and then they only ever need to pass on on My behalf what they have heard from Me. I Myself impart spiritual knowledge to them, which will make them highly happy themselves, and they can now work with this spiritual knowledge by letting everyone participate who crosses their path. They will be provided by Me with spiritual wealth, which they can use exceedingly successfully, which is for their own salvation and which gives them the possibility to give much enlightenment to men, who walk along in spiritual darkness, who need a light, which enlightens their way .... And I truly do not think of you meagrely .... Everything you desire to know will be supplied to you, and no-one need go empty-handed who asks Me for spiritual gifts .... But the supply to mankind can always only happen through a servant devoted to Me, who fulfils all prerequisites, which allow the working of the spirit in him and who is prepared to hand out the spiritual good in My stead, which is imparted to him by Me myself. But since I know how necessary it is that men are instructed, I also accept every worker in My vineyard, who offers himself voluntarily to Me for service, and I assign his activity to him .... And truly, he will do greater work than any worldly man, and whether this one can also record unusual earthly successes .... These will not be able to outweigh the success, which grows for a soul, which takes the spiritual way and always only seeks to reach its earth life purpose .... that it matures and establishes the bond with Me, which alone secures perfection for it. Again and again I must make the importance of your task clear to you because I want you to put it before every earthly activity, that you yourselves recognize it as urgent in view of the approaching end where all earthly successes will pass away and only that will remain which you have acquired for yourselves in spiritual treasures. And you can all receive these spiritual treasures in abundance, for no limit is set by Me, you can constantly receive and therefore also constantly hand them out to everyone who asks for them .... For I know people's hearts and will also always consider them according to their desire .... I will supply you with people who are eager for spiritual treasures .... And no-one will need to hunger and starve who desires to be fed by Me, and you, My servants, are to serve Me and be eager in your work for Me and My kingdom because this work is urgent and cannot be done by every person ...._>Amen

Purpose of earthly existence as a human being ....

B.D. 8571 from July 27th 1963, taken from Book No. 90

Consider your human existence purely as a brief chapter of an infinitely long period of development which, however, is of immense importance, because during this short time you have to make your decision of will which determines your fate in eternity .... For you can bring this process of development to a conclusion; but you can also prolong it again for an infinitely long time which signifies beatitude or agony for your soul .... the human being's real Self .... thus you yourselves make this decision as a human being. You humans do not spend much thought on it, but the time of your earthly life passes by quickly and then its result will take effect .... Time and again you are informed of it and yet you pay little attention to what you are told or you would live consciously and make an effort to strive for the right goal. But then you must also believe in a God and Creator to Whom you owe your existence, and by making contact with Him you will also receive the strength to live your life according to His will. You must be aware of this God and Creator in order to submit yourselves to Him and His will .... And you must know the reason for your existence as a human being .... in order to live expediently on earth .... i.e., to reach the goal on account of which you live on earth .... You will not be kept in ignorance, time and time again God's will shall be proclaimed to you, no matter in what manner it will happen. For God speaks to people, He addresses them directly as soon as the conditions for it have been fulfilled .... Or He will enlighten a person through mediators .... Yet He will never leave people without knowledge about His will, since this knowledge enables them to live their earthly life correctly and thus complete their development while they are living on earth. However, they can also keep a closed mind to every explanation; they can distance themselves from God, become disbelievers and refuse to accept any deeper reasons for living on earth. They can merely deem themselves as inhabitants of a creation, whose life is purely an end in itself, and only deal with their life from this point of view .... Then they do not accept God's will either, Who requires a life of love, but their own will predominates, which is purely based on selfish love, which only would like to provide itself with the greatest possible pleasure and will only ever consider itself but never its fellow human being .... A person like that is thinking completely wrongly, and unless he changes he will never ever reach his goal on earth .... He will live his earthly life in vain and prepare a dreadful fate for his soul .... But neither can he be prevented from it since he has free will and he will not be deprived in any way either as far as the recognition of truth is concerned, since he will always receive it in some form or other, he need only form the right opinion of it and his soul will derive the right benefit too.

However, precisely this forming of an opinion is omitted by him, he will be satisfied with that which he can comprehend with his earthly senses .... the world and its possessions .... and he will let himself be captured by them and never take a step forward in his development because every condition is missing for it, such as love and heartfelt contact with God, through which he could attain inner realisation and which testify to his correctly focussed will .... But the human being's will is free and also has to be free during his life on earth so that he can make a decision and once again have the opportunity to enter his original state and to become as he had been in the beginning .... For he would never be able to attain supreme beatitude were he to remain an unfree being and unable to voluntarily take the path to God, Who will guarantee this utmost bliss .... Everything that came forth from Him as a free being must remain in this freedom and desire to reach Him, then it will also be and remain very happy without limitation .... God's created beings once forfeited this freedom and were in a wretched state which lasted for eternities, yet one day God will return this freedom to them but only for the purpose of their final return to Him .... for the purpose of making a free decision for or against Him .... nevertheless, time and again the human being's attention will be drawn to the meaning and purpose of earthly existence. And one day he will also have to justify himself, because every person will sooner or later be informed of the fact that he only lives on earth for the sake of a purpose .... And anyone who seriously tries to ascertain this purpose will also receive enlightenment, in everything that happens to him he will be able to discover a wise guidance, then he will also begin to realise the purpose of his earthly life and endeavour to live up to it, he will live responsibly and soon learn to recognise and love his God and Creator .... Then he will truly not live his earthly life in vain, he will inwardly mature and soon attain the right goal: his union with God through love .... He will recognise the significance of life on earth and do whatever it takes in order to bring one period of development to conclusion, so that he will be released from every physical form, from every chain, and be able to enter the kingdom of light and beatitude when his hour has come ....

Amen

God corrects misguided teachings ....

B.D. 8572 from July 28th 1963, taken from Book No. 90

I only ever merely want to clarify your misconceptions and offer you the purest truth instead, and for that reason I speak to you time and again .... And all I ask of you is the serious desire for truth, and the will to think correctly and to be able to distinguish between truth and falsehood .... Then the communication from above can come about, and then you humans will live in the light too. However, there is not much will for truth, thus My adversary has great power, he can offer inaccuracies which will not be recognized as such. Subsequently the human will itself decides to what extend it experiences the right thoughts, the truth. He should always approach Me Myself in order to receive the purest truth, for even if he is not yet able to hear My Words directly I will nevertheless convey them to him through My messengers when I recognize his sincere will and desire for the pure truth. Because the adversary will constantly want to insert inaccuracies and also deceive those people who think they have true spiritual knowledge, which he will corrupt again and again unless acute care is taken to prevent it. Therefore you cannot be observant (careful) enough, you cannot ask Me often enough for the truth. Because I Am always willing to transmit the purest spiritual knowledge to you .... to let living water flow to you, which is still unpolluted from all additions, and which consequently also helps to heal your soul.

Hence you should draw from the source .... and even then you should make sure that the pure, healthy living water does not get polluted and come to you in a different condition than it is supplied at the source .... My adversary uses many methods to pollute My pure Word and people do not notice it .... They unhesitatingly comply with him when he attempts to induce them to make changes or alleged improvements, thus offering him the opportunity to scatter it with false seeds which will grow and then considerably reduce its value, providing the error is not recognized and corrected in time. It is therefore very important for My Word to be proclaimed from above time and again, because imperfect human beings will not leave anything unchanged. Hence they will always add human knowledge to a supremely perfect spiritual treasure as well, they will also intellectually move in the wrong direction and give explanations which no longer correspond to the truth. And these in turn can only ever be confronted by the pure truth, which flows from Me directly to earth again when I consider it necessary to correct errors and to highlight the adversary’s actions ....

And depending on the individual’s desire for truth he will also respond to it, he will accept pure truth if he genuinely wants it, or he will indifferently hold on to erroneous thoughts, but to his own disadvantage .... Because as soon as shadows creep in I will always bring light and will therefore not cease to speak directly from above. Because people will not cease to let themselves be influenced by My adversary either and make changes to the spiritual truth which initially came from Me Myself .... Time and again they will use their own thoughts, their intellectual reasoning, and this can be controlled by My adversary, so that error creeps into a spiritual truth which had originated from Me .... And for the sake of humanity’s freedom of will I do not prevent it but I will always make sure that those who want truth shall also receive it again in its purest form. Hence you should never discard spiritual facts which had originated from Me, but rather you should make sure they remain unaltered and compare them with My messages, which will come to you directly again ....

Because I know why I speak to you time after time, I know when it is necessary for Me to intervene in order to clarify misconceptions which .... if only slightly .... will continue to result in new errors .... and thus, since it originates from him, the adversary has to be fought. The human being himself will always reject error once his spirit is awake, but those who have not yet delved into spiritual knowledge to discern every error will accept it, and this is comparable to a well where the water, instead of quenching your thirst, causes you damage instead. Error originates from the adversary and can never result in a healing effect for the soul .... However, if you can receive the living water directly from the source you are protected from bad influence, then My Word will come to you in all its strength and guarantee you purest truth, and then you can indeed believe everything because you truly cannot receive anything untrue from Me .... But you should always be watchful and realise that My adversary will use every opportunity to slip in wherever he can in order to confuse people .... And even if he only succeeds in pushing people onto a different train of thought, causing them to make false assumptions which do not correspond to the truth and which thus result in darkness .... as a development of thought which cannot be penetrated by light. Then ask Me Myself for enlightenment, for clarification, and truly, I will do so because I want you to live in truth, for only truth is light, and only through truth can you become blessed ....

Spiritualisation of soul and body .... What is the physical body? ....

B.D. 8573 from July 28th 1963, taken from Book No. 90

I will answer your every question in a way that it is comprehensible to you, even if you are as yet incapable of understanding the most profound correlations because of your low maturity of soul. Nevertheless you will not be left in the dark about problems which occupy you and you are unable to solve yourselves. And you shall be enlightened as soon as you desire light: The reconstruction of the human soul happened in the same way as the disintegration of the being took place after its apostasy from Me, after the solidification of its substance .... The individual tiny particles, having gone through the works of creation for the purpose of maturing, were gathered again, the mineral, plant and animal world released all particles belonging to a fallen being again and these united in the end and now constitute the human soul .... Hence this soul is the once fallen original spirit which shall return to Me, to its origin, when it passes the final test of will in earthly life, which necessitates its free will .... This soul embodies itself in a cover of flesh, in a material body, and this consists again of countless spiritual substances which are still at the beginning of their higher development .... For all matter is spiritual substance at the start of its development, which already shelters more mature spirits within which must be of service and thereby mature fully .... Matter itself has a far longer path ahead of itself until it, too, can embody itself as a 'soul' .... Yet the time every spiritual substance takes to travel the path can differ considerably .... Spiritual substance within matter can mature faster, but matter itself can also be dissolved quicker if it complies with its serving function without resistance .... if the resistance of the bound spirit within matter subsides quickly and it is helpful .... This is the case if it is in surroundings where there is a recognisable and conscious striving towards Me, which has a beneficial effect on all spiritual substance and also shortens its path of development because it is often permitted to be of service.

Understand it like this: Where an inclination for matter still exists, where no spiritual striving is noticeable, that is where matter is being hoarded, it is given little opportunity to serve and this extends the state of constraint in this material item .... just as it can be considerably shortened if the human being does not strive to increase his earthly possessions and thus constantly gives the few material possessions he owns the opportunity to be of service .... Then the human being himself, through his attitude towards Me and matter, contributes towards a faster dissolution of the latter and the bound spiritual substance therein will be able to change its external form far more often and faster and also reach the stage when all particles have come together again sooner and the embodiment as a human soul can take place. Even the soul's earthly-physical cover is still consolidated matter whose substance belongs to a once-fallen original spirit .... which likewise shall pass the final test of will as a soul on earth one day .... If, during earthly life, a person succeeds in spiritualising his body of flesh simultaneously with his soul .... which, admittedly, only happens rarely but is nevertheless possible .... then its spiritual substances will join the soul and attain a certain state of spiritual maturity, so that the beings of light, which take care of the fallen spirits, will also influence the spiritual substance bound within the form such that it will quickly reach full maturity, because a soul which achieves such a spiritualisation together with the body, emanates extraordinary strength on all substances of a soul which still has to go through the process of development .... Thus the soul takes its spiritual body along into the spiritual kingdom and emanates these spiritualised substances again as strength to the original being they belong to, and this being will travel its process of development in a far shorter time, because the fully mature spirit will also prevent a relapse when the soul lives on earth as a human being .... For the body's substances have been redeemed by its indwelling soul and can never experience a relapse again .... Instead, they will also exert influence on the soul in the form of strength and drive the latter into increased spiritual striving .... this is why the human being should consider it a very great task to spiritualise his body as well .... why the human being should do everything in order to achieve this spiritualisation by not only helping his own soul but also the soul whose substances served him as a material cover during his life on earth ....

Earthly matter will fade away when the hour of death has come .... A spiritualised body, however, joins the soul and flows again as strength to that original spirit to which it belongs, so that the latter will noticeably feel the help and, while in the human stage, can never fall back into the abyss because the already spiritualised substances prevent it from doing so .... Through physical suffering and pain you can still help many of its still immature substances to mature fully .... You can still make small sacrifices of atonement for these spiritual beings if you, in a conscious state, humbly bear the suffering which is indeed caused by the body's immature substances but which, through your love for everything that is still unredeemed and your willingness to help, contributes towards the body's spiritualisation. Then you will not only attain your own soul's maturity but you will also help another original spirit to mature faster if you redeem everything unspiritual in you, which still belongs to My adversary, through your love and your will to help wherever it is possible .... If this redemption does not take place the body will go its natural course by dissolving and decaying and serving the untold number of tiniest living organisms again to grow and then its path will be much longer, but even these substances will gather again one day and the final embodiment in a form on this earth will take place. Always remember that matter is spiritual substance at the beginning of its development which already shelters more matured spirit within itself, in order to enable the latter to be of service, by means of which everything spiritual ascends.

You must differentiate between body and soul, and then it will be easier for you to understand the purpose and reason of physical suffering and pain and why Jesus' path to the cross is presented to you humans, Whom you should follow .... For He carried the sins for you humans, His soul was entirely without sin and yet He suffered indescribably .... And if you suffer, then consider that you, too, should be willing to make a sacrifice for that spiritual substance which serves you as an external form so that you will attain perfection .... You can also considerably shorten its path of suffering, and your love should induce you to provide redeeming help for everything that has become sinful ....

Amen

Spiritualisation of Jesus' body ....

B.D. 8574 from July 29th 1963, taken from Book No. 90

The body of Jesus Christ, which rose from the dead entirely spiritualised and continued to exist as a visible cover for Myself in order to be and eternally remain a visible God for My created beings is, however, an exception .... Jesus' body was indeed physical matter as well, yet it was created by divine strength .... The substances His biological mother gave birth to were likewise of a spiritual nature which adjusted their demands, cravings as well as weaknesses to their environment, which were therefore so influenced by their physical surrounding that the body's desire was just as inclined as that of other people .... that the body reacted to all external temptations .... but as a result of Jesus' willpower resisted them time and again .... And this necessitated a constant battle, it necessitated a constant willingness to act with love, because Jesus also wanted to redeem all substances which, due to His human existence, made contact with His soul but which did not belong to another fallen original spirit. Instead, it had been an act of creation by Me for which I had chosen a person capable of giving birth to a human being in God-intended order, who thus carried the substances within which thus also formed the physical shell for Him .... which were also meant to be redeemed yet stay with the soul sheltering within .... Do understand: Jesus' body and the body of Mary were created in all purity and without sin .... but they took abode in a sinful world and therefore were not spared the temptations of this world .... They had to prove themselves in it, they had to fight an even harder battle against such temptations because My adversary was still able to express himself through matter, because he had the opportunity to influence a pure soul through everything surrounding it and his activity consisted of the manifold temptations which every person is subject to and which is every person's task to fight against ....

This will still be incomprehensible to you humans: nevertheless, you may always believe that the complete spiritualisation of Jesus' body as well as Mary's succeeded, but that Jesus was the only being Who took His body along into the spiritual kingdom and retained it, because I wanted to become a visible God for all My created beings and that the complete unity of body and soul took place, which can never be undone again. The fact the many unredeemed spiritual substances clung to Jesus' soul and besieged it is also certain and that Jesus battle against these forces of darkness was very tough is also constantly emphasised, for on orders of My adversary these forces tried to make Him fall. And thus Jesus also had to fight against temptations which did not arise from His own body but were caused by the said dark force which availed itself of everything externally surrounding Jesus the man in order to tempt Him, and thus He had to suffer incredibly and fight against all kinds of these pressures despite His pure and sinless body. However, He redeemed many immature substances, which then were also permitted to fully mature as a human being on earth .... and these people were subsequently often recognisable by their obvious attitude towards Jesus and a way of life which followed Him .... It must never be assumed that His struggle was an easier one because of His pure body without sin, for enough immature substances adhered to His soul which He was not allowed to simply shake off but which He wanted to redeem as well in order to help them on their further path of development. But the fact that His own body in its entirely spiritual state also became and remained part of the soul must be equally credible to you human, for My dwelling in a human being presupposed all these unusual conditions, just as a purely spiritual conception and an unusual event at birth revealed divine intervention .... Nevertheless, Jesus was a human, and His battle as well as the spiritualisation of all bodily substances occurred in the same way as with all other humans: love and suffering accomplished it .... and love and suffering will be necessary time and again for the human being's complete spiritualisation on earth ....

Explanation of matter and its task ....

B.D. 8575 from July 31th 1963, taken from Book No. 90

All matter is solidified spirit .... And thus the whole earthly-material world consists of My once emanated spiritual strength which initially did not fulfil its purpose since it was not forced to do so but which, according to eternal law, should become active and therefore was reshaped into manifold kinds of creation whose function was subject to natural law and had to be fulfilled in the law of compulsion. Through its lawful completion of activity the spiritual substance acquires a continually higher degree of development, and thus creation is fundamentally spiritual substance in the most varied degrees of development .... The development proceeds from the hardest rock, as plant or animal up to the human being and is guaranteed by the constantly serving function of every single work of creation. Time after time matter will be dissolved again, that is, the spiritual substance constantly changes its external form and receives another, more advanced form and thus gradually matures until the last stage, when it may embody itself as a human being in order to release itself, again by means of useful activity, from the final form on this earth.

Physical shells or external forms will always shelter more mature spiritual substances within themselves and serve them to mature .... The shells themselves will always be dissolved again, and the spiritual substances within will likewise unite with equally mature substances and accept their next forms until all the strength, which was originally emanated as a 'being', has gathered again and exists in its original composition again yet devoid of all love, which it once no longer wanted to accept from Me. This love is then added by Me as a gift of grace in the form of a tiny spark to the original spirit who then walks across earth as the human being's soul, and then he will be able to attain perfection again, he will be able to become as perfect again as he was when he first originated from Me, and then the ultimate goal I had in mind when I created the beings will have been achieved ....

But it takes an infinitely long time for the former being to travel the path through the creations of earth, for what is visible to you as matter needed long periods of time for its transformation already, since the initially hard matter, the world of rocks, does not easily let go of the spiritual substances. If lawful natural influences did not cause a dissolution of the hard external shape it could take eternities until a slight loosening occurs, until the world of rocks shows a small flicker of life in so far as that it changes within itself or falls apart and releases the constrained spiritual substance, which will then be bound again in a lighter form. And thus the form will be ever easier to dissolve, and all works of creation provide the spiritual substances with the opportunity to mature in them thereby gradually bringing this initially completely hardened, lifeless spirit to life .... The succession of external shapes proceeds ever more rapidly, and a continuous cycle of life and death, of development and disintegration can be observed throughout creation .... Yet the spirit's process of development takes an infinitely long time which comes to an end as a human being on earth. The fact that every external form is spiritual substance at the beginning of its development, and the fact that every external form, in turn, shelters spiritual substances within itself which have already acquired a higher degree of maturity and are meant to mature further within the form, has to be kept apart .... And thus the external shell need never be rated as highly as the spiritual substance that shelters within it, the dissolution of the external form will always be an act of liberation for the captive spirit therein and simultaneously signify a degree of higher development for the matter which, as external form, envelopes the substances of soul. These covers still need a long time until they, too, complete their final earthly progress as part of a soul. Yet the more willingly such a shell carries out its 'service' the faster it will progress, but always within lawful order. And thus, even the final external cover .... the human body .... has a very significant task, the fulfilment of which can also enable the body's own intrinsic spiritual substances to rapidly progress in their development .... if the body totally complies with the soul's demands it can thus also be spiritualised during its earthly life, which could mean a shortened earthly progress for a fallen original spirit, whose body's exceptional service and suffering contributes towards the original spirit's return to Me, when he travels the path across earth as a human being and no longer needs to fear a new descent into the abyss because these already matured substances assure him certain completion .... The knowledge of this can motivate you to fully consciously strive for the body's spiritualization during its earthly life and thus lead a way of life which completely corresponds to the commandments of love, for love is the way which leads to complete spiritualization of the body ....

Amen

The meaning of earthly life .... Kind-hearted activity ....

B.D. 8576 from July 31th 1963, taken from Book No. 90

Time and again I want to inform you of the circumstances relating to your process of earthly life as a human being, because this knowledge makes you live your life responsibly, as soon as you believe in it. It can also be presented to you and met by complete unbelief, yet during your earthly life you will repeatedly get into situations when you will reflect on the purpose of your existence, and then such thoughts will indeed arise in you time and again and you will remember the conversations which were intended to provide you with an explanation. And every thinking person will also reflect on it and, depending on his will, come to the right conclusion. I simply don't want the human being merely to deal with worldly issues but I want him to drift into an area which is unverifiable and yet cannot be denied, if it is seriously thought about .... For only if the human being travels this path intellectually will his course of life be successful for his soul, the maturing of which is the meaning and purpose of earthly life.

Hence it is essential for the human being to be repeatedly reminded of the fact that he is not just living on earth for the sake of acquiring an outwardly good living standard and riches .... Although by and large he will not want to believe it nor can he be forced into believing it but he will nevertheless dwell on it occasionally and then also be able to change his mind, so that he will intellectually occupy himself more with the realm which cannot be proven to him. And then it will depend on his general way of life whether he will become a believer, for as soon as he does not disregard kind-hearted activity, as soon as he is prepared to help and is of good will, he will also learn to believe and advance in his development. This is why fellow human beings shall only ever just be encouraged to carry out deeds of love, which can often already be achieved by being a good example .... Then unbelief will also diminish, for love will invariably awaken a living faith. Hence it is absolutely necessary to live a life of love in order to attain faith ....

Love between people, however, has grown cold and hearts will have to be touched in order to become willing to love, for every human being has the ability to love, since I instilled in him a tiny spark of My spirit for his earthly life .... And the willingness to love can, in turn, only be aroused by great adversity, by serious strokes of fate affecting people where one person depends on the other and a willingness to help comes to the fore, providing a person is not entirely hardened and therefore My adversary's follower, who subsequently will be hopelessly lost when the time for the maturing of his soul comes to an end. Earthly life is at a standstill without love, the soul cannot gain anything and remains in its previous state, if it doesn't descend even further into the abyss from which it had already worked its way up and just had to cover the final ascent. Without love it cannot move one step forward, and no human being can be forced to love, it is a matter of free will but the only option to reach the goal on earth for the soul to become perfect and change into its fundamental nature again.

And so the divine teaching of love has to be proclaimed time and again, people's attention must be drawn to the commandments of love for God and other people, time and again they have to be touched by adversity and misery so that their spark of love will ignite and turn into a bright glow. And this is why I keep educating teachers for Myself on earth who preach love to their fellow human beings, who proclaim My will to them and try to introduce them to the kind of knowledge which can only be gained through living a life of love .... This is why I send the disciples into the world again during the last days, so that they will proclaim My Gospel which I convey to earth Myself .... Time and again I work visibly and remarkably in order to be believed, because people have greatly distanced themselves from belief already and no longer visit the places where My Word is proclaimed, and because even there My Word has lost its strength if the preachers of My Word are not spiritually awakened .... People shall come alive, they shall learn to gain a living faith, because only then will they strive towards Me and learn to love Me and then also advance in their development .... Without love, however, they will achieve nothing on earth .... No matter what is done, it always has to be based on love or they will be dead works .... You humans should know all this and question the motives of what you say, do and think .... And only if you are urged by love will everything you think, speak and do be good before My eyes and gain you a higher degree of maturity .... But everything is futile without love .... For you only live on earth for the sake of changing your life into a life of love, and only this is and will remain your goal, so that through love you will unite with Me, the Eternal Love Himself ....

Amen

God offers a gift of grace of inestimable value ....

B.D. 8577 from August 1st 1963, taken from Book No. 90

You hear the divine word directly from above .... Your God and creator speaks to you Himself, so that you learn about His will, so that a small light is lighted for you, in the light of which you can go your earth way and reach the right destination .... So you will be informed through His direct address about Him Himself and His nature and about meaning and purpose of your earth walk. And when you just receive a little light about it, you already stand in a special favour; you receive a gift from your God and creator, which you once had voluntarily rejected. But He knows it that without this His address, without the supply of a light from above, there is no possibility for you to return to Him, from Whom you once had gone out. But He does not want to know you separated from Him for ever, and that is why His love and favour gives itself to you again. He offers you a gift of favour, which you men are not able to appreciate at all, but He demands of you that you accept this gift thankfully and use it, so that it also becomes effective in you. He addresses you, but also demands open hearts, which receive and process His word, and then you will also be radiated through by power and be able to fulfil the will of God, which consists of you men leading a love life. His address has an effect as power and therefore must touch a man so that he feels urged to do something, because the power does not remain inactive .... And what he now does will be determined by love, because God Himself has begotten a love spark into him, and therefore this love spark again urges to love work, and man will now also fulfil the divine love commandments; he will turn towards his neighbour; it will urge him inwardly to do good to him, because the love power in him wants to become active, as it is original law from eternity. Therefore the sin of the rejection of divine love was so serious that it brought about the fall of spirits, that the beings now became incapable of activity because the power out of God no longer flowed through them and they slowly hardened in themselves, therefore became completely lifeless. When now God Himself addresses men, He once sends them the knowledge about it, and for the other time He also gives them again the power with the supply of the word to be able to become active. But this is spiritual power, which also only has a spiritual effect. work of love is spiritual work, but also the life power of man can be used for the acquiring of spiritual power when man's acting keeps to the will of God, when he does what God demands of him, when he carries out works of love, therefore not only uses his life power for the well-being of the body or for the increase of earthly goods, but when he makes an effort to fulfil the will of God, which demands (teaches?) love ..... Then he will additionally be provided with spiritual power, and he will be able to put his will into action, he will use the power and be active according to God's will .... He will work on his soul, which always only comes to maturity through work in unselfish neighbourly love, for the purpose of which it dwells on earth .... That is why the word from above is a gift of grace of inestimable value .... God Himself radiates His love down to earth, and man only needs to open his heart willingly, i.e., he only needs to request power and favour from him with will turned towards God, then he opens his heart, and love can flow towards him unlimitedly. And this love will now drive him into activity, he will never ever let his earthly life pass by uselessly, he will fulfil the purpose of earthly life and change his nature into love himself, which is self-love in the beginning and shall change into unselfish neighbourly love .... Anyone who allows himself to be addressed directly by God will also receive strength directly from Him .... His earthly life will not be an idle one, for he is now also united with God through his will turned towards Him. And every person should strive for this bond; he should first listen to His word and think about it, and if only his inner resistance has subsided, the word will also touch him and make him long for further address, and then it will also no longer remain without effect, and an activity of love .... even if only slight at first, will also set in, which, however, will soon increase because this results in the strength with which God has blessed His word. Therefore the divine word cannot remain ineffective .... unless the listener is still completely under the control of God's adversary, so that he senses neither the effect of strength nor any light, but then every effort to bring the human being to faith in God and in the strength of love is also hopeless .... But where the resistance has already subsided, also the divine word, which is directly directed from above to earth, will have an obvious effect .... It will change man in his nature .... it will urge love, and love will have an effect again as strength and bring maturity to the soul for the purpose of which the human being walks across earth .... He will reach his aim as soon as he only lets himself be touched by God's radiation, as soon as he listens to His word without resistance, moves it in his heart and lives accordingly .... Then he will accomplish his change of nature, which is the purpose and aim of earthly life as a human being ...._>Amen

Recognizing the deficiency and opening the heart ....

B.D. 8578 from August 2nd 1963, taken from Book No. 90

And even if heaven opens itself to you and lets its ray of light and love fall to earth, you men also still avoid its bright shine and withdraw into darkness, which I would like to radiate through with brightest light. And the light loses its effect where it meets resistance .... So also My word will be without power where it is opposed .... You men will not recognize it as address of your God and father from eternity, because you do not desire to be addressed by Me, because you still languish in the chains of him, who wants to oust Me out of your consciousness. But you should nevertheless seriously ask yourselves whether you feel completely happy in your present state, for you cannot deny the shortcomings and adversities which again and again burden you, and you will also never look forward to the future with confidence; it will always weigh upon you like a nightmare what fate you will meet, be it on earth or also after your death, because you possess no light about this either and although you are not able to believe in a survival you also do not know exactly whether you will live again .... nor do you know exactly whether your existence will end with earthly death .... Everything lies before you in uncertainty, and also your earth life itself can still change and bring you disastrous events, because you do not have your fate in your own hand. And that is why you would only think and act wisely if you take everything into consideration which is supplied to you in spiritual knowledge .... if you would not thoughtlessly reject everything but take a stand on it .... Step out of the darkness of the night and enter into My light of love, and it will truly not be your disadvantage .... Believe above all that you have emerged from a power, which has not created you in that defective state, but in which you are, when you walk as man over the earth. Believe that this power wants to make you happy because It loves you, otherwise you would not have been created by It, and therefore accept from It what It offers you in Its love: light and power, which you do not possess and therefore also cannot be happy. And do not be deceived by the awareness to possess life power and to be able to use it for earthly well-being; but also this life power can be taken from you from today to tomorrow by that power, and then you no longer live on this earth, but you are also not gone in your being .... your actual self lives on, only in a very deficient state, if you have not taken care on earth that it has attained light and power .... And when a ray of light from above reaches you, do not leave it unheeded, but open yourselves and let it radiate into yourselves .... Take note of My word, through which I Myself light a light for you, in which you will feel well and then also want to increase the light yourselves, because it will make you happy when you have stepped out of darkness and are hit by My love light ray, which filled you in the beginning and made you unimaginably happy. Seek to regain what you have lost through your own fault. It is available to you at any time; I do not withhold My ray of love light from you; I only wait that your heart opens and lets My love radiate in ready to receive, which will now also make you happy again, and you no longer want to miss it. My love pursues you and will also never give you up, and again and again I will speak to you and therefore send My love ray to earth, but I cannot force you to accept it; I can only constantly woo you and your love and give you proofs of My being and My union with you, but it is up to you whether you want to recognize Me when I step into your way, when My love expresses itself towards you .... The light shines brightly and radiantly .... But who closes his eyes and consciously turns towards darkness, he feels nothing of the benefit of light, and for him it shines in vain .... But his unhappy, deficient state does not disappear either; already as a human being he will never find fulfilment of his longing, and after his bodily death his soul will have to endure agonies when it realizes that it left its earthly life unused and yet it could have achieved much .... It would be possible for every human being to come from the darkness of night to the light of day during earthly life .... No man needed to fear darkness because he can (could) leave it at any time and turn towards the light, which constantly radiates down to earth in form of My word, which is always My love emanation out of the spiritual kingdom, which cannot be replaced by anything else, which alone gives light and strength and therefore My word has to be listened to in the desire to reach the light through it .... Then the human being voluntarily opens his heart and lets Me Myself kindle a light in him which will never go out again, for My light is My ray of love which will never lose its illuminating power, which fills a hitherto lightless being and places it into the state of knowledge and fullest realization in which the being has been infinitely blissful from the start ...._>Amen

Free will alone is determinative ....

B.D. 8579 from August 4th 1963, taken from Book No. 90

You truly do not need to walk along in darkness of spirit; you can receive light at any time and enlightenment about everything what is still incomprehensible to you. You need not be burdened by spiritual blindness, you can become sighted and experience everything that is connected with yourselves and your existence on earth. You can also become enlightened about your God and creator, about the cause of creation and yourselves as creatures with intellect and free will .... You can get an answer to every question if only you want it, if you want to step out of darkness into the light of day .... Only your will determines the degree of knowledge you possess. Your will alone also determines the degree of light in which you walk when you pass through earthly life .... and your will alone determines your fate in eternity, which depends on your soul's degree of light .... But your will is free, it is not forced on the part of a spiritual power, neither for good nor for evil .... You alone determine it, and thus you also know what immense responsibility rests upon you, in which direction you direct your will .... No other person can be held responsible for what you think, want and do on earth, but you alone have to answer for it; you alone bear the benefit or the damage of a right or wrong will. For your will is free .... But this is also proof that you were once created as divine beings, which received free will as sign of the divine exit and which also in the stage as man again helps them to reach full divinization, which the being had given away through its once fall into sin of voluntary turning away from God, but must irrevocably regain in order to be able to become happy. Free will distinguishes man from all other creatures on earth, which certainly also live, but are not conscious of themselves and which therefore always betray a stage standing below man, because only in the stage as man also free will is unmistakable, why the stage as man is to be regarded very particularly responsible and demands the whole effort that the will is directed right, i.e. turns again to Him, from Whom the being once turned away and from Whom it nevertheless started originally. As divine creature it possessed free will, and this free will also allowed a wrong direction of aim .... the being could turn away from God and turn towards the adversary of God, who also only became the adversary of God through his free will, which therefore also resulted in the spiritual blindness, total light- and cognitionlessness, in which man enters the earth .... He turned away from God and thereby fell into the darkness of spirit .... and must now, by voluntarily turning towards God, also receive His divine light of love again, in order to emerge from the state of darkness into the state of brightest light .... of knowledge about all correlations .... and now also to be blissfully happy again as in the beginning. Because only light is happiness, and exactly the state that the being itself determines through its free will in which degree of light and love it is, proves how free will must be utilized during earth life as man, where it can earn both highest happiness as also deepest damnation for the being, which goes over earth as man for the testing of its will. Because this is determined by every man himself, therefore earth life is so responsible and determines the degree of light or darkness in which man walks on earth .... And therefore everything should be done to light just a small light for the human being so that he recognizes the significance of earthly life and does everything to achieve the purpose of earthly life: the transformation of his being in free will back into the original being again, which was pure love but voluntarily gave away its love .... Man must open himself again in free will to the love radiation of God and receive that what he lacks: divine strength of love which shines through everything like a light, which illuminates the spirit and kindles a light for the human being, so that the darkness of the spirit fades away, so that the human being attains realization which makes him happy, so that God's ray of light of love can penetrate him again as it once did and he is assured of a blissful state when he has finished his walk as a human being through the earthly valley and enters the spiritual kingdom, which is his true home .... The human being should only give his free will to God and then accept from Him everything he needs in order to become blissfully happy .... And truly, he will depart from this earth richly blessed, for then he will have passed the test of will which is the purpose and aim of every human being on earth .... He has united himself with the eternal father-spirit from Whom he once took his origin, he has recognized and fulfilled the purpose and aim of his earthly life, and he will now be and remain blissfully happy forever ...._>Amen

Urgency of vineyard work - God's concern ....

B.D. 8580 from August 5th 1963, taken from Book No. 90

Trust Me that I stretch out My hand to those who want to be active for Me, that I guide them and direct everything so as it is good and promises success. You only need to hand yourselves over to Me, to present all your concerns to Me and to now let Me rule, and truly, your doing and thinking will be right and blessed by Me. Everywhere there are still people who long for a light and who send up questioning thoughts to Me out of the depth of their heart, and to now give them an answer will always be My will, but for which I now again need people who offer themselves as mediators to fulfil My will .... who therefore now receive My answer and pass it on .... It is certainly only isolated men who ask these questions, but they are to be found everywhere, and that is why My light also radiates to all sides that the shine hits them and can enlighten their hearts. I know all ways, all possibilities and therefore also know where I direct My word, which radiates to earth and is to take the way to those who desire it and know to appreciate its value. And according to the desire of My servants on earth they are also taken up to work in My vineyard .... He who demands much receives much, he who demands little can also only be given little .... But it is always about spiritual good, which I want to hand out. Because only spiritual good is a blessing for your soul. But that you also do not need to live in want earthly, that My love likewise assures you, because who wants to be active in My vineyard, he can also experience as good servant the care about his bodily welfare from his house father and therefore also carry out his activity unhindered. There are not many people who ask for a light from above .... But the few who do it are also to be illuminated by that light, which shines out of Me Myself and truly frees men from all spiritual darkness .... They are to be allowed to enter My love-current circle and experience all love-care from Me, because I do not want that men perish in the night of the spirit, I want that a bright ray shines for them, in which they recognize Me, their God and father from eternity, so that they now also take their way to Me and therefore fulfil their purpose of earth-life .... Because only for this reason they put their earth life back, that they unite with Me, from Whom they once had gone out, but separated in free will .... They are to find their way back to their origin again in order to be able to be happy. And that requires a way of life according to My will, which I therefore let announce to them through My messengers, through men, who are active on My behalf to introduce their fellowmen to My will and to explain to them the meaning and purpose of their earth life. I cannot address people Myself without exercising compulsory faith .... But you men can speak to them in My stead, what they now can believe or also not .... They are not forced but can experience greatest blessing when they listen to you because then they indirectly listen to Me Myself and My address will never remain without effect. And the short time still available to you humans is still to be used to establish the bond between you and Me, which will always guarantee your return to Me. You, My servants, you are to know how necessary your cooperation on earth is; you are to know what work of help you accomplish when you contribute that a light can be supplied to fellowmen .... Furthermore, you should know that the time still available to you humans for the work of salvation is constantly shortening .... But you are also to know that I support your work and you are never left without help, whatever it may be .... I will bless your hands' work, I will soften the hearts you address, I will take care of all your needs so that you can be active for Me unhindered, and I will also direct your thoughts in such a way that you always do what is right, that you feel it, which is conducive to the salvation of the souls of fellow human beings .... And therefore you need not fear failure, for whoever receives an office from Me will also be able to administer it, because My strength is constantly supplied to him and he is also assisted by all My messengers of light who are likewise active on My behalf .... For the spiritual hardship is great, and My concern is for all those who have not yet completely fallen prey to My adversary, to whom only a light needs to be kindled so that they will then turn to the right path which leads to Me ...._>Amen

"Hear My word ...." life force - spiritual power ....

B.D. 8581 from August 6th 1963, taken from Book No. 90

You all need power supply and constant help from My side for your earth course, because the life power, which you have as man, is not enough to perfect you on earth, if you do not increase it yourselves through supply of spiritual power, which you can acquire yourselves through love work or which you have to request from Me in prayer as gift of grace .... And you will therefore always have to be in connection with the source of power from eternity, which you therefore establish through prayer and loving activity .... Then there is no danger that you do not reach your earth life aim, because every spiritual power has an effect again in love work, and then the transformation of the being to love takes place, which is purpose and aim of earth life .... And you can increase this supply of power at any time when you consciously let yourselves be addressed by Me, when you desire to hear My word and accept it when and where this is only possible. Because My word is blessed with My power, My word is the direct love radiation for My part on My creatures, which need power and are constantly made happy by the supply of power to an extent that this contributes to increased bliss for the beings, which already stand in the light .... Because My word is the proof of most intimate connection of those beings with Me, to hear My word is also the proof that the being has entered its original state in which it stood before its falling away from Me when it heard My word and was exceedingly happy. You must constantly maintain the connection with Me, My power must constantly be able to flow through you, because in the kingdom of light this means unimagined bliss, but on earth .... as long as you are not yet perfected .... you constantly receive strength which you need to reach perfection. The life force is indeed available to every human being, but it can be used completely uselessly if the human being uses it only in the earthly-material sense .... But if you make use of the life power to work in love, then a measure of spiritual power flows to you, which lets you go the way to the kingdom of light quite safely, because you connect yourselves intimately with Me Myself through love work, I Who am eternal love, and now My divine love power can radiate through you continuously and form your being that you come closer and closer to Me, that you unite with Me again as before you turned away from Me. But every bond with Me will also earn you My address .... Because I want to prove My presence to you, My presence will also result in My address, because the father speaks with His child, because love connects both and it now also wants to express itself .... So you now have to hear Me, and what I now want to say to you, that will make you happy, because it is rich knowledge for you, because you enter into a state of brightest knowledge, as soon as I Myself can address you. And this address can also happen in a transferred way that I announce Myself to you through a person whose soul ear can clearly hear Me, and I now speak to those who show themselves worthy of My address, who live according to My will, who work in love and thereby put themselves in contact with Me .... who could also hear My address directly if they would only prepare themselves as a receiving vessel for My spirit itself .... But it is unimportant whether they hear My word directly or indirectly, because it is always the same word, which I have blessed with My power and which has an effect on the soul of a person that it must irrevocably reach perfection .... Listen to My word and know that you need it for perfection .... Always give Me the opportunity to address you so that you may receive what you still lack .... And you all still lack much until you can return to Me fully matured and be blessed .... Because the earth is not yet a kingdom of light and bliss, and as long as a soul still walks over the earth as man, it has the possibility to increase its degree of maturity, because it can also work in love unlimitedly and is again and again stimulated by My word to this love work .... Therefore I direct My word down to earth to teach man the first and most important thing: to be unselfishly active in love and to kindle a bright light in oneself through love activity, which will shine brighter and brighter and spread out so that brightest knowledge .... deepest truthful knowledge .... is the result of a right love life which leads to the final union with Me and also earns the being the bliss it once voluntarily gave up but will also irrevocably regain, even if eternities pass over it .... But what has gone out from Me is love in its original substance and will eternally not be able to pass away .... It will once again take on its original nature and then also, as in the beginning, be able to hear My word, it will be unspeakably happy, because it is then again closely connected with Me and will remain so until all eternity ...._>Amen

What was the human being and what is his earthly task? ....

B.D. 8582 from August 7th 1963, taken from Book No. 90

As a human being you certainly enter the stage of the self-aware being again, you recognise yourselves as something spiritually tangible, yet you are not conscious of the supreme perfection you once possessed .... and that your existence as a human being at the start of your embodiment is but a pale reflection of your former Self .... You are indeed the same being again which recognises itself as a self-aware being with intelligence and free will, but you are missing a specific degree of maturity which characterises you as a divine being; you became imperfect as a result of your former apostasy from God and first have to attain your original perfection again. Nevertheless, you are self-aware beings who are capable of thinking and in possession of free will, and who now shall use their intellect to achieve their final full maturity on this earth. And in order to tackle this maturing completely consciously you have to know what kind of relationship you had with the One Who created you .... you have to know that you once had an intimately close bond with your God and Creator and that you had distanced yourselves from Him voluntarily .... but that, in order to become perfect again, in order to adopt your original nature again, you must join Him once more, or you will remain without strength and light, because He alone is the eternal source of strength and light, from Whom all created beings will have to accept strength and light in order to become again what they had been in the beginning .... supremely perfect beings, images of God .... true children of the Father, Who had given them life ....

This maturing into perfect beings is the human being's task on earth, who therefore also has the ability to accept knowledge and assimilate it, to mentally come to terms with this knowledge and to always use it in regards to his perfection .... For during his existence as a human being he is given the possibility to intellectually (intelligibly) form an opinion about the knowledge conveyed to him on the part of God, which can be externally imparted to him through messengers as well as internally through the voice of conscience, for he can and ought to use the gift of his intellect, and with good will he then can also penetrate more profound knowledge .... if he always yields to the inner influence of his conscience and actively starts to carry out deeds of love .... Then he will start on the path of return to God, then he will begin to look for contact again with the One, Who is his Father of eternity .... Then he will also slowly mature fully and be able to reach the pinnacle he had once been on and which has to be regained if the being wants to come into possession of light and strength and freedom which, in the very beginning, had made it indescribably happy ....

Consider, you humans, what task you ought to fulfil in earthly life, that you shall arise from a state of weakness and darkness and work your way up to bright light and utmost strength .... that you are certainly able to do so if you are of good will and comply with the divine will to live a life of love .... You are certainly able to fulfil God's requirement to become perfect, for He grants you strength and grace in abundance, He is always ready to support you with His help, and He also places His will into your heart, so that you only need to be observant and accept your feeling which will prompt you into doing good deeds, speaking kindly and thinking correctly if only you are willing to fulfil your earthly task .... For in the state of self-awareness as a human being you will also always be informed of God's Word, in whatever form it may be .... You will receive the knowledge about a God and Creator, and then you will also be able to reflect on it yourselves and mentally receive explanations from the spiritual realm ....

The possibility to perfect yourselves on earth is given to every one of you humans .... For you are no longer bound in the form, you are passing through your final embodiment on this earth and possess all the abilities which will guarantee your progress .... but you also have free will, which alone determines how you will use your abilities. And you have to turn this will in the right direction yourselves, therefore you will be repeatedly informed about the importance of your earthly life. Your intellect can form an opinion of it and determine the will .... But the free decision shall always be your own, and that is your responsibility, for your future fate in eternity will match accordingly .... For although you will not go astray forever, the state of your soul's weakness and darkness can nevertheless last for infinite times and result in renewed agonies instead of happiness .... Yet you yourselves have to make the final decision during your earthly life in complete freedom of will, and good for him, who pushes towards God and unites with Him again on earth ....

Amen

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

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

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

Love for God is demonstrated through neighbourly love ....

B.D. 8584 from August 11th 1963, taken from Book No. 90

I always keep telling you the same: take care of your fellow human being in his adversity .... help him, irrespective of whether he suffers spiritual or physical distress; practice unselfish neighbourly love and you will fulfil the purpose of your existence. For you only demonstrate your love for Me when you give love to your neighbour, who is your brother. I Am a Father to all of you; I long for your love which should apply to all My living creations who have emerged from Me. Your fellow human beings very often suffer hardship, and it will mainly concern spiritual difficulties in which you should help them, for earthly difficulties will come to an end but spiritual adversity continues and will always require help, regardless of whether they are on earth or in the kingdom of the beyond.

Spiritual adversity largely consists of unkindness and therefore the soul's imperfect composition which, however, should mature in earthly life through love .... Hence, if you love your neighbour it can awaken reciprocated love and encourage the other person to change his nature if he wants to emulate you, if you are an example to him by living a true life of love .... Giving love is the greatest help .... but you should also make the Gospel known to your neighbour, that is, you should also describe his Creator and Provider as a God of love Who is everyone's Father and therefore wants to be called upon as a Father ....

You should only ever try to impart spiritual knowledge to your fellow human being, and you will help his maturation if you offer everything to him with love. Yet you should also support your neighbour in earthly adversity and thereby likewise inspire reciprocated love, for love is strength in itself and will never remain ineffective unless your neighbour still completely belongs to My adversary, then he will reject you and not experience the results of love. And you will only ever mature through actions of love .... consequently every opportunity should be used by you to act with love .... And notice should be taken of every hardship suffered by your fellow human being, you should not pass him by indifferently and leave him in distress, for then you are heartless yourselves and do not fulfil your earthly purpose which solely consists of accepting your fundamental nature again, of becoming the love you were in the beginning.

The commandment of love will always be the first and most important one, and the Gospel which teaches you to love God and your neighbour will always have to be proclaimed to people .... However, you will never show love to Me if you ignore your neighbour, no matter how strongly you are moved by your emotions .... True love for Me can only be expressed in loving activity for the next person. And thereby you also prove your love for Me. But anyone who is half-hearted and indifferent in his love for his neighbour will never feel true love for Me, for how can a person love Me Whom he cannot see, if he ignores his brother whom he can see ....

Love between people has grown cold in the last days, and therefore they are also very distant from Me Who, as Eternal Love, can only unite with a person through love .... And this is why the spiritual adversity is so great, for to be heartless also means to be without faith, without knowledge and without strength .... Furthermore, it means to still be subject to the power of the one who is devoid of all love and who will always stop people from acting with love .... but who also wants your downfall by keeping you away from Me. And he is the one you have to resist, you have to try to contact Me and you will only ever attain this through loving activity .... For this reason I say 'What you do to the least of My brothers, you have done to Me ....' I Myself consider your love for your fellow human being as love for Me ....

How else would you be able to demonstrate your love for Me? .... If you believe in Me and that I, as a Father, grant love to all My children, then you also have to return My love as children, and then you also know that all you humans are regarded by Me as children, that you are all the same .... living beings who originated from Me, and you have to love one another and move towards Me together .... But one also has to carry the other, you have to protect the other from suffering harm, you have to help him in all kinds of difficulties, you have to stick together and establish this true relationship between brothers and then strive towards your eternal Father together. Only then will you have the kind of love for each other which I require of you humans, because you are the same in your fundamental substance .... because you came forth from the divine strength of love.

And once the relationship between you humans has changed, once all your thoughts and actions are determined by love, you will also become more perfect, you will become again what you had been before: living creations permeated by love which only ever work for each others beatitude .... For where love exists there also has to be a receptacle for this emanated love, irrespective of whether I Myself as the primary source, or you as terminals of My strength of love re-emanate this love .... there always has to be a vessel into which you can radiate your love ....

And thus on earth this vessel is your fellow human being .... the person next to you to whom you give your love, which you receive from Me .... For you cannot give anything that you wouldn't have received from Me first .... I nurture the spark of love in you such that My love enlightens you consistently more and inspires loving actions, and this work will apply to your neighbour again, for you will be inclined to be constantly of assistance once My love is able to enlighten you.

And your activity of love for your neighbour demonstrates to Me that you accept My rays of love, that you open your hearts and grant entrance to Me and My love .... it demonstrates to Me that you are committed to Me in love again or you would keep your hearts closed and I would be unable to work in you. And you will always mature providing you don't lead a one-sided life but always consider your fellow human being and take a personal interest in his physical and psychological circumstances, providing you try to lead him on the path to Me and also support him in earthly adversity if he approaches you and requests your assistance. You are living together for the purpose of mutual maturing. And you will always be given the opportunity to carry out actions of helpful love .... You just have to be of good will and allow yourselves to be guided always in view of Me, your God and Creator, Whom you acknowledge as a Father and to Whom you show the love of a child .... Then you will love each other as brothers and benefit each other .... And then your soul will mature on earth and achieve its goal: through love it will unite with Me, the Eternal Love, and then you will be blissfully happy forever ....

Amen

Relationship of similar souls ....

B.D. 8585 from August 12th 1963, taken from Book No. 90

Only what you receive from the spirit is the pure guaranteed truth, for if the human intellect had been involved the truth may well have changed already, because the intellect can be influenced by the lord of darkness. Thus caution should always be taken when assertions are made which cannot be proven, involving spheres which are intellectually inscrutable .... And this applies to such spiritual assertions which are akin to wishful thinking, where the wish becomes the father of a thought and this thought subsequently occupies the intellect more than the heart and thus could also have been influenced by God’s adversary .... Deep down in your heart you humans have the desire for a profoundly harmonious relationship with a partner. All human beings long for happiness which they can experience and enjoy together, because the desire for happiness is still part of the bliss which the soul experienced prior to its desertion from God. It need not always be expressed by the person (during earthly life) but it exists and, as a rule, will usually remain a dream, because earthly life does not guarantee a continuous state of bliss. And if the person tries to create this condition himself then, due to imperfection, the opposite usually will happen: unkindness will destroy harmony, and indifference or animosities will become people’s companions in life, although within themselves they harbour the desire for unity and mutual understanding. But such people will create their own desired ideals, especially since they have the wrong idea about the spiritual kingdom, about life after the death of the body .... And what they are unable to find on earth they hope to find in the spiritual kingdom: souls who are aligned with their own soul, who will join them and enter into a harmonious relationship which will guarantee blissful happiness .... They believe to find the partner, for whom they had searched on earth in vain, in the kingdom of the beyond ....

And they are right in as much as the harmony and love of equally mature souls will elate every individual soul extraordinarily .... Their thinking is correct in as much as the unification of souls with the same degree of maturity in the spiritual kingdom will always result in supreme happiness, because in a state of perfection every impure characteristic will vanish, and the former relationship between the souls will be re-established, as it was in the beginning; love will link all souls and this itself will already signify unlimited happiness. Whereas relationships can be formed on earth between good and not so good partners, and consequently these relations will either be happy and peaceful or progress inharmoniously .... Thus in the kingdom of the beyond the individual souls will then either separate from each other or continue to stay in close contact .... Souls are able to find other partners who, due their spiritual degree of maturity, will share the same spiritual aspiration, the same awareness and the same light, and who will make each other happy through their similarity and their acquired degree of love. These souls will attract each other, they will create and work together for their own happiness, because the same spiritual state of maturity is always a prerequisite for the unification of souls. Hence entirely unfamiliar souls can come together on earth and will recognise that they belong together by the strength of their light. And this common bond had indeed existed before the apostasy from God in as much as they had worked together, that they had the same tasks which every soul carried out in accordance with God’s will, when innermost love still connected all living creations with each other and their Creator ....

An infinitely long time passed by in which the first created being was intimately linked by love to its Creator, and countless living beings emerged from this love. And in accordance with Lucifer’s bond to the God and Creator of eternity their nature was always alike, and thus all these souls, who initially were united in indescribable bliss, will find each other again .... It is also possible that such souls will embody themselves on earth at the same time, that they will find each other during their life on earth and enter into an earthly union. But then profound understanding, innermost affection and the same spiritual aspiration will reveal their common bond, and such a relationship will not be dissolved in the spiritual kingdom either. It will be a marriage ‘made in heaven’, but it should be understood differently than an earthly marriage, which is conducted for the purpose of the souls’ embodiment as human beings yet it has nothing in common with a spiritual marriage. Love is the only bond which really unites the beings, but which will always culminate in love for God. In this way they will not aspire towards anything other than their God and Father of eternity, so that they will constantly receive His strength of love and they will be continuously infused by His strength. By working together they then utilise this strength and pass it on where their mutual, i.e. intensified, activity is needed, and the bliss of souls who are linked to each other will constantly increase because they will always want to help and serve God and therefore they will always want to take redeeming actions too ....

Amen

What did Jesus' body consist of? .... I.

B.D. 8586 from August 14th 1963, taken from Book No. 90

Nothing is impossible to Me, your God and Creator .... Everything I want, happens, and what I want to create instantly appears in front of Me as an accomplished thought .... I have no limitations, neither concerning ideas nor executed actions, be they of spiritual or material substance. For basically everything is spiritual substance, regardless of whether you see physical or spiritual creations. But how this substance is natured can only be judged by Me Myself .... Only I know whether it is spiritual substance which had once fallen away from Me and had hardened into solid matter or whether it is My directly emanated spiritual strength which took on a shape according to My will, for I can use any strength to change or form all kinds of works of creations. I can also give My directly emanated strength those characteristics which cling to the sinful spiritual being if it, in its final form as a human being, shelters a soul for the purpose of attaining perfection .... A body created by Me of non-sinful spiritual substances can, through My will, experience a state of weakness or incorporate characteristics which adhere to all other bodies if it serves a specific purpose .... Everything is within My will and within My power .... But through contact with the world, with matter .... which is impure spiritual substance .... everything of a pure, divine nature will always be influenced by the latter and experience problems, and since Jesus' act of Salvation involved an extraordinarily important mission, impure adverse forces made a special effort to exert influence on the purely Divine, Jesus' external form. For this divine-spiritual emanation of strength, which His body has to be regarded as, did not take effect by destroying or preventing everything of an adverse nature .... instead, it was sufficient to render the same resistance, like any other external form should, by pacifying the encroaching spiritual substances and thus waging the same battle against all temptations, for as a human being Jesus wanted to exemplify the kind of life which all fellow human beings should live in order to release themselves from the forces of darkness.

However, the fact that Jesus' body consisted of earthly matter cannot be denied: nevertheless, this earthly matter was a product of My love, wisdom and might, its substance was not taken from a fallen spirit but My emanated strength which My will compressed into shape .... Even so, the demands it imposed on Jesus were by no means less arduous, for as soon as strength from Me comes to earth .... hence, as soon as perfect spirit enters My adversary's realm, it will be besieged by unspiritual substances and all substances which clung to Jesus' soul and more or less took possession of the body were meant to be redeemed. Thus He had to fight so as not to succumb to them but without using His strength beyond human means since He was meant to serve people as an example and, therefore, Jesus the man was not granted any privilege due to extraordinary strength .... As a human He had to be like all other people, and even the fact that His body was a product of My strength did not give Him any advantages in His striving for deification .... It was nothing more than a shackle which continuously tormented His soul, because it was used to freedom and the brightest of light and had to take above in darkness .... And this darkness also inundated the body, causing it much pain which was felt by the soul and yet it could not be spared for the body. For as a result of His love Jesus recognised all correlations and was resigned to His fate, which He exactly foresaw and through which alone He already endured indescribable pain. Nevertheless, complete deification could only be achieved by extraordinary suffering and an abundance of love .... And the fact alone that a pure body without sin and a soul from the kingdom of light had to reside in the realm of the prince of darkness contributed towards that, because they constantly had to defend themselves against him and his forces, which made every effort to tempt the body into becoming sinful in order to cause the downfall of Jesus, the human being, albeit he did not succeed. However, it was a hard fight, and yet, Jesus the man prevailed and thus provided all people with proof that through love they also acquire the strength in order to resist all temptations by the adversary. Besides, through His crucifixion He also acquired the grace of greater willpower for you humans, so that it is possible for all people to release themselves from the shackle of their prison warden, so that they will not be at the adversary's mercy but find help in Jesus Christ in Whom they can confide and Who nevertheless understands them as human beings and will truly snatch them from the adversary's control if they appeal to Him, for He knows how much he torments your body in order to prevent your soul from maturing .... He is aware that the battle in earthly life is hard because the body still belongs to the adversary, who does not want to release it, but Jesus made the sacrifice on the cross for you so that you can become free, He redeemed you through His blood so that you will be released from all sin ....

Amen

Right statement of salvation and the incarnation of God ....

B.D. 8587 from August 15th 1963, taken from Book No. 90

And again and again My word will sound for you, to point you with all urgency to Jesus Christ, the divine redeemer, in Whom I Myself incarnated, to open you people the gate to the kingdom of light, which was closed for you by your former apostasy of God. Therefore you walk on this earth to be saved from your original guilt, and because your free will must strive for this salvation, it is also necessary, that you will be given a truthful explanation of the reason and meaning of the redemptive work of Jesus .... You must get knowledge of that, to provide Him voluntarily or reject Him. And thus will be now also your further destiny, when you have to leave this earth again and enter the spiritual kingdom. Again and again this knowledge was presented to you, but you are mostly too indifferent, to come to the consequence from it .... And yet it is the most urgent task on earth, that you take the path to the cross, that you will find Jesus Christ and you ask Him for help for your earthly path, so that you reach the right aim. For very fast a man’s time on earth is over, and what you missed in earth life, that you will not be able to make up, even if you get not lost forever .... But the man Jesus died for you on the cross, to make you reachable to the highest aim, to become a “child of God“ .... He has acquired the graces for you by His suffering and death, you only might use in order to achieve the aim in life on earth .... He has Himself sacrificed, to buy your life again, that however has the binding with Me to the precondition and this binding is only possible, when you are free of guilt again, which brought the former apostasy from Me to you .... Before you had be free from all guilt, a man had to offer up the atoning sacrifice for you, that My justice had been done often enough, because I am absolutly perfect and could not avoid justice, even if My love is endless for you .... And the man Jesus has offered this atoning sacrifice to His fallen brothers in love and through that He has made free the way to Me again .... If you now go as a human being on the earth, you should take your former guilt under the cross and give it to the One, Who died for that .... You should and have to find Jesus, to be redeemed once from your great original guilt, otherwise your earthly life is lived in vain, because the guilt prevents the entrance into the kingdom of light and you would have to languish in darkness forever, because the former sin prevents any light from Me, the sin seperates you from Me, because I can never unite with a creature, that has become sinful. Consider, that you still enter the earth as human afflicted with this guilt of sins and that the time on earth is short, but that you can completely become free during that short time and you can step in the kingdom of light as blessed beings, if Jesus has opened the door to you, when you have found Him in earthly life, when you have trusted yourselves to Him and have taken the way to the cross .... where you can get rid of every guilt and now you are allowed to enter in His kingdom, which is not in darkness, but in the light .... Consider, that you have to give yourselves to Him in complete free will and that is, why a right knowledge is necessary, because as soon as you realize, that His love has suffered and died for you, to supply you with Me again, you will also do everything, to obtain the forgiveness of your guilt of sins .... For His love, that He has shown you through the death on the cross, you will give back, and because this love I’m self, you will also recognize Myself, your Father of eternity, in Jesus and you will get a binding, which you once got loose in free will .... Again and again therefore I must speak to you and give you a right picture .... Again and again a truthful knowledge must be given to you about Jesus Christ, the redeemer of the world, Who died for love on you and Who has included Myself in Himself as the eternal love .... Because I Myself wanted to redeem you from your guilt and for that I had to use a human form .... which I could occupy, because the man Jesus was full of love and gave Me also a home in Himself .... His human shell closed around My love, so it hid Myself in Himself, and God became “man“, and the man Jesus became “God“ .... For I am a spirit, that is not limited, but I have created a limited shell, in that I could be the beings, who once had come from Me, a visible God, who never could have been endured a sight of My whole flame of love, without ceasing to exist .... I Myself embodied in Jesus, Who Himself completely spiritualized and therefore only became the visible form of the eternal spirit of God, that now all beings can look face to face in a certain degree of ripeness .... Only if you human beings are full of love, you will nearly understand this great mystery of My incarnation, but it must also be explained a loving man truthfully, and that is why I will give a light among the people again and again, again and again I will give information about spiritual secrets, those can never be understood by the human mind .... Therefore I can only correspond to the spirit in man, and first he must be brought to life through love .... So I admonish you urgently, to fulfill My commandments of love, so that you may understand, what is arranged to you in spiritual truths .... For then you shall also go the right way, you will yourselves will go the way to the cross and be redeemed from sin and death ....

Amen

God's abundant love for His creatures ....

B.D. 8588 from August 16th 1963, taken from Book No. 90

One day you will also understand why My love constantly persecutes you .... when you will enjoy the glories of My kingdom and remember the time when you found yourselves in great adversity because you still kept yourselves distant from Me .... In view of the glories you will recognize My greater than great love and understand that this love could not give you up, that it constantly endeavoured to give itself to you, to prepare a fate for you which precisely only love is capable of giving. And then you will return this endless love of Mine with all your strength and be prepared to do everything for Me. You will likewise want to lead all wretched to happiness, and you will take care of the wretched on My behalf: seek to bring it to Me, that also this finds its happiness with Me, because all creatures are My children, whom the father only always seeks to make happy. But as long as you still walk over earth, you do not grasp this My exceedingly great love towards you; you do not know what love actually is; you do not know that My primal element is love, that I am love Myself .... and therefore also eternally cannot abandon any being, even if it has distanced itself from Me in free will and rejected My love .... The being had lost all knowledge, indeed through its own fault, but it is now completely ignorant; it does not know that it has emerged from a source of love power, that its original being is also love and that it can only then become happy again when it has returned into its original state, which it once turned into the opposite itself. And again and again I try to return this realization to it, but I can only do so under certain conditions, which the being has to fulfil first .... For as soon as it receives a small light, the possibility of a free turn of will towards Me exists, and then already its unhappy state improves, and a quiet approach towards Me takes place, when love ignites again in the being, which it once extinguished itself .... Love must be in you again, then you also safely return to Me. Love alone binds you together with Me; love is My nature, and love gives itself away and wants to make happy. And love will therefore also bring about the change of the being, which again earns it highest happiness. But as man you can have no idea of the depth of My love, because your thinking is limited, but My love is unlimited; it does not cease for ever, and everything what has come out of My love will be loved by Me for ever, and I will not rest sooner, until everything can create and work in blissful union with Me, as this was My plan from eternity but which requires endless times to be carried out, because every being created by Me possessed free will as a sign of its divine origin and this free will alone has to establish the connection with Me through love .... But since the being resisted My illumination of love, since it rejected My love in the wrong idea that it did not need it, since the being fell into arrogance and rebelled against Me, it lost all strength and all light .... It lost its knowledge and fell into the deepest abyss, for I did not stop its fall because it happened of its own free will, because the being turned away from Me of its own free will and this therefore meant a lack of strength and darkness from which, however, it was able to ascend again at any time. For My love leaves no being in the abyss, it also helps the deeply fallen to ascend and only ever pursues the final return to Me, which I will also achieve one day and whether eternities will pass over it .... The being returns to Me as My 'child' and will let itself be permeated by My love again as it once was, it will attain light and strength and be able to work and create in its own will, but which has completely entered into My will .... And this will give it bliss unlimitedly, and it will never be able to grasp that it has resisted the love of the father for so long, and that is why its love will become more and more violent; it will burn to a blaze and in this love also again contribute to the redemption of that, which is still unhappy in the distance from Me .... For love is a power which accomplishes everything, love is a light which illuminates everything .... And love will only ever give itself away and make blessed, for it draws everything into its sphere of radiation what once went out from Me, as the eternal love, but distanced itself in free will and became unhappy .... Love leads everything back again to the original source of love, and every spark of love unites again with the original fire of love .... nothing gets lost .... everything in love again goes the way back to Me where it took its start ...._>Amen

Prayer for strength and grace .... Pride .... Humility ....

B.D. 8589 from August 18th 1963, taken from Book No. 90

Be mindful of the fact that you can always request My blessing, for yourselves as well as for your fellow human beings and all souls in the spiritual kingdom .... Your plea for a gift of grace is always an act of humility if you request it for yourselves, for you thereby acknowledge your weakness and in this weakness ask Me to strengthen you. And a person feeling weak will always approach Me with humility, and I bestow My grace upon the humble .... And if you request grace for other people, for another human being or for souls in the beyond, then it is an act of selfless love, for you want to help those who are weak in spirit, you request strength for these equally weak souls and then, for the sake of your love, I can give them strength. But it is always a spiritual request that you ask of Me, and truly, it will also always be granted to you. And you will only ever ask Me with a humble heart, you admit your weakness and know that strength and grace can only come from Me, and thus you confess your imperfection and desire to become perfect by requesting My support ....

And if you now consider that you once deserted Me because you deemed yourselves strong and didn't believe you needed Me and My strength any longer, then you will also understand that you had voluntarily deprived yourselves of your perfection .... But you are embodied on earth as a human being for the purpose of returning to Me, and this return has to take place in reverse order to the apostasy from Me .... You had been arrogant and believed yourselves to have abundant strength .... Now, however, you have to recognise and confess your weakness with profound humility by appealing to Me for a gift of strength ....

Since you once turned away from Me of your own free will you have to appeal to Me for grace, for a gift you don't deserve, which you had arrogantly thrown away yourselves .... But believe Me that I will very gladly grant such an appeal for strength and grace, for I Myself want you to attain perfection and be able to join Me again in order to receive blessings which only the unity with Me can provide .... Just your admission of unworthiness and weakness motivates Me already to bestow a wealth of gifts upon you .... Therefore you can ask Me time and again for a gift of strength and grace .... It is a spiritual request which I will grant without fail, for My happiness consists of constantly providing My living creations with the strength of My love to enable their progress and to come ever closer to Me. For you won't be able to do so by yourselves as long as you are not exceptionally kind-hearted and thereby acquire strength for yourselves.

But a prayer in spirit and in truth for a gift of grace and strength is an absolute guarantee for its receipt, for time and again I stress: I bestow My grace on the humble, for only a humble heart will ask Me for it. And time and again I assure you that this request will be granted, since you, after all, thereby admit your wish to come close to Me, and thus you already pass your test of will on earth: your voluntary turning towards Me from Whom you once turned away in arrogance and imperiousness .... However, anyone who asks is neither arrogant nor imperious, as he submits himself to Me, and due to his humility I can now also give to him abundantly, and truly, no-one will go without if he approaches Me with this plea, which I will very gladly listen to and also grant ....

Once this thought of requesting strength and grace from Me comes alive in you, then you will also acknowledge Me as your God and Creator Who wants to be your Father, you are already in contact with Me, which is always demonstrated by a heartfelt prayer, irrespective of what you ask for .... But strength and grace are spiritual possessions which I will never withhold from a praying person, because they prove his humility, and I will always bestow My grace upon the humble, as I have promised ....

Amen

God demands only love from human beings ....

B.D. 8590 from August 19th 1963, taken from Book No. 90

Again and again you will be seized and pulled up by My love if only you do not resist, for I will not leave you in the abyss, I will help you at all times to ascend step by step, to ascend from dark regions to bright heights. I help you that you receive power and also can cover the way to the height, which leads up and costs effort, with success. But I always demand of you that you give up all resistance, that you turn to Me for help and are prepared to fulfil My will. Then you can also reach your aim guaranteed, for the purpose of which you stay on earth. You can perfect yourselves still on earth and enter the kingdom on the other side with a high degree of light, where then a wonderful fate awaits you, which lasts for ever. You are to fulfil My will .... And this means that you should live a life of love .... I demand nothing more of you than that you arise in love towards Me and towards the neighbour, because love is the basic principle, because love is the law of eternal order, because I Myself am love and you have emerged from this love. Once you have fathomed the essence of love it will be understandable to you why I require nothing but love from you, for love is everything, it is light and strength and bliss .... Without love you remain distant from Me, and only with Me alone is happiness, only in connection with Me can you be full of power and light. But if you reject My love, then you will be and remain unhappy, until you change your nature yourselves and become love again, as you were in the beginning .... Everything that now approaches you in earth life can let love flare up in you, for you were only put into this world for the reason that you can practice love working .... You can always and everywhere be active in helping your fellow human beings, you can serve, and if this happens in unselfish love, you yourselves change your nature, which initially only knows ego love, into unselfish, giving and wanting to make happy love, and you yourselves become again what you were in the beginning: love-radiated beings full of light and power .... you become My children, who in love desire the father and will now also receive love power without ceasing .... But to be allowed to receive love light and love power unlimitedly also means brightest recognition, knowledge about everything and penetration into the deepest secrets of creation, into deepest wisdom and into My plan of salvation from eternity .... A love-radiated man can already receive extensive knowledge on earth, and this knowledge will make him happy, and it will deepen the higher his degree of love rises, and the entrance into the kingdom on the other side after his death will trigger a happiness in him, which is unimaginable to you men, because he will be surrounded by brightest light; he will be allowed to see all glories, of which you men let yourselves dream of nothing .... And everything can only be achieved through love, which you as human beings practice so little and which is nevertheless the only thing that secures you an eternal life in beatitude .... I only demand love from you men, but I also help you that you are able to practice it, because I am always prepared to improve your lot for you, and because I do not want to leave you in the deep, in darkness, since you were created as light beings in the beginning. You chose darkness yourselves in free will, but I am constantly endeavouring to cause you to ascend voluntarily. And you can only cover this when you are active in love, because then you constantly receive power to walk up, and because you then also recognize for what purpose you walk over earth, and consciously pursue your aim: the union with Me, which makes you unspeakably happy, but which exactly can only be reached through a love life in full unselfishness. But you only need to earnestly want, and truly, I will help you that you let the will become action .... You will always receive strength to carry out your will, and you will always be guided and led so that you always come closer to the aim. I will announce My will to you, and if you fulfil it, you will also live in love and then also be united with Me, Who is love Myself .... But the union with Me is highest happiness, and it now also remains until all eternity ...._>Amen

The broad and the narrow path ....

B.D. 8591 from August 20th 1963, taken from Book No. 90

Anyone who has devoted himself to the world will hardly find the path into the spiritual kingdom .... He takes a broad and even path which offers him many enticing images to captivate his senses, giving his body a sense of well-being and making it impossible for him to take his eyes off them .... He will behold flourishing gardens, his lust for life will be stimulated and he will not tire of absorbing all attractions, given that his disposition desires them and his desire will be satisfied by the one who wants to prevent a person's thoughts from turning to the spiritual kingdom. His soul, however, will be starving, for none of the possessions the world has to offer will satisfy the soul's hunger and thirst, which requires a different nourishment in order to mature and recover. For the soul is ailing and unhappy if it is only offered worldly things. Yet time and again messengers stand by the crossings where narrow paths are branching off wanting to entice people onto these narrow paths. But only rarely will they succeed in persuading a person to discontinue his journey on the broad street and to use the narrow path instead which leads faster and with certainty to the goal. If people listen to My messengers and accept their guidance they will truly be helped, and soon they will look upwards and courageously start to go uphill, because they behold a marvellous goal and even obstacles or exertions of any kind will not hold them back, they will follow their guide and overcome all difficulties, for My messengers know how to describe the goal in such glowing terms that they will muster all their strength in order to attain it. But only a few people will take this narrow path at all, for the most part My messengers will not even be listened to, and the difficult and arduous climb scares those people off who only consider their body but not their soul .... The broad path, however, is a misguided path, it irrevocably leads into the abyss, they get caught up in the impenetrable undergrowth and are unable to free themselves from it unless they call upon the help of the One, of Whom they certainly know but in Whom they didn't want to believe .... He alone can send helpers even into this confusion, which will release them and guide them to another path, yet only a few will appeal to the One for help and their end will be a dreadful one.

Always remember that you don't live on earth in order to enjoy yourselves and to merely provide a good living standard for your body, but believe that you should first consider your soul. And in order to help your soul you should patiently accept all difficulties, walk the narrow path in the knowledge that it requires strength to ascend and believe that it will lead to the goal, that it will become increasingly brighter the higher you will climb, and that at the end of the path there will be One Who already expects you, that He will send his messengers to meet you who will support you and help you overcome all obstacles .... that your eyes need only look upwards in order to receive strength and light so that you will not go astray and prevail over all discomforts on the way .... But don't let yourselves be deceived by the attractive images lining the wide path that leads down into the abyss. Your goal is up high, in the light, and truly, you will only have to make an effort for a short time in order to reach the pinnacle, yet this effort will be richly rewarded, for then you will no longer need to fear any evil if you no longer disregard the goal .... which is Me Myself, Who wants to guide you into paradise, into the kingdom of light and bliss .... However, this can never be reached on the broad path, for this is My adversary's means, who wants to show you all the riches in the world in order to keep you away from the goal to unite yourselves with me again. He only influences people's senses, I, however, want to gain your souls and therefore must deprive you of everything which might damage your soul, which includes all worldly pleasures and delights, for 'My kingdom is not of this world ....' If you strive for this world you will not attain My kingdom, therefore shun the world wherever possible even if you have to comply with all requirements which life on earth demands of you .... But don't let them become your purpose in life, instead only aspire for My kingdom, and you will truly not regret it and gladly travel the narrow path leading upwards, because you will soon recognise Me in the guide Who walks by your side .... Then I Myself will be able to escort you because you have made Me the goal of your earthly life and because I also know that you are turning away from the one who only promises and offers the world to you .... And the further you distance yourselves from the said broad path the easier will be your ascent, for the heights you aspire to will become ever brighter until you are finally surrounded by the brightest shine and you enter into My kingdom which will reveal unimaginable splendours to you, and then you will live in light and strength and freedom and be supremely happy ....

Amen

Greatest spiritual need is faithlessness ....

B.D. 8592 from August 21st 1963, taken from Book No. 90

Let Me speak to you, and then you will always be near Me, otherwise you would not be able to hear Me. But you must be close to Me in order to be able to receive the strength from Me which you need for your ascent to the height. And you are close to Me with every thought, which you send upwards, into the spiritual kingdom, with every thought, which is meant for Me. And when I can be near you then you can cover every step on earth without worry; it will lead upwards and bring you to the destination. That is why lack of faith has such an exceedingly detrimental effect on the course of development of man; he constantly remains standing on the same level, if he does not even sink back to the deep, because as soon as he does not believe in Me, he also seeks no union with Me .... His thoughts are exclusively turned towards the world and its goods, and he can in no way receive strength from Me, but without which his life is an idle run .... If he would use his life power for love work then he would acquire power through it, but only rarely is a completely unbelieving man active in love because he is still dominated by My opponent who himself is devoid of all love and also prevents his following from love work. And if such a man is still to be rescued before the end or also before his own death, then this can only bring about great trouble, which still causes him to intervene helpingly, and can also teach him to think differently. But this hope only exists with few men because faithlessness is proof that the opponent completely controls him, and since he himself does not request help to be able to resist him, his earth life passes and brings him no spiritual success at all. And in the times of the end very many men are in this spiritual trouble .... The world completely captivates them, they think of nothing but the increase of earthly goods and the comfort of the body; every thought of a spiritual kingdom .... when it arises in them .... they immediately reject and therefore can also in no way be taught otherwise, because all compulsion switches off, because it is about the free decision of will of man on earth. Nevertheless, everything will still be tried on My part so that a little light will shine for everyone once, that sparks will flash up which he only needs to follow in order to reach a light .... I also meet completely faithless people and address them in some way .... If I cannot address them through My word, then they will be fatefully pointed to a super-strong power against Which they cannot raise themselves .... They will have experiences around them which can serve them all for reflection .... They will also experience things themselves which could prove to them a God and creator .... But as long as they are still fully attached to My opponent everything can also remain without impression, and then they irrevocably go towards a difficult fate, they will be banished anew in solid matter at the end of this earth .... And this is imminent .... For fewer and fewer people still establish the bond with Me .... fewer and fewer people believe in a God and creator, and the earthly course of life of these people is in vain, it does not earn the soul any success, and also the endless long course before in the state of compulsion was in vain, and the soul has to go through all phases of ascent development again in the dissolved state and cover a dreadfully agonizing way until the renewed embodiment as man after endless long time. When man passes away without faith then he will not be able to escape this fate, and that is why all My messengers are to try again and again to move men to faith .... Even if it is difficult it still need not be impossible because a person's thoughts can still change, for I wrestle for the souls until their death, and it is never hopeless, especially if a loving person takes care of such an unbelieving person, for love achieves much because love itself is a strength which no-one can resist in the long run. And when I admonish you again and again to diligent vineyard work then I also know that this alone is necessary and that it can also be successful insofar as that every effort in love does not remain without effect and can change a person's thinking .... and if it is still in the hereafter that a light still comes towards him there and he recognizes what you have offered him on earth. No love work is lost, and if you can cause a faithless man to carry out a love work, then this can already be the beginning that he is touched by a light shine .... it can move him to do good to his fellow human being again and again, and then the ice is melted which kept his heart bound .... It is never too late to bring a person to faith in Me, even if it is shortly before his death .... For then his path in the beyond will be easier, he will not sink into deepest darkness, for through faith in Me he has detached himself from My adversary, and he is saved for all eternity ...._>Amen

Suffering spiritualises soul and body ....

B.D. 8593 from August 21st 1963, taken from Book No. 90

You only need to enter My flow of strength, that is, you only need to fully consciously submit yourselves to Me and open your hearts to My illumination of love and My strength of love will become active in you, yet your soul will always experience this influx of strength more than your body and subsequently advance spiritually again. Remember that the body is meant to help you achieve this but that immature spiritual substances are still inside of you, for you are not perfect yet. And these immature substances require your help in order to mature on earth as well. Your help consists of entrusting these spiritual substances to Me by asking Me in silent prayer to impart strength to them. My adversary often tries to prevent your spiritual work by using these unspiritual substances to bother you physically or psychologically .... But you should know that your prayer on behalf of these still immature spiritual substances within you will always be successful, and therefore you should appeal to Me for My help and protection from all attacks by My adversary. And believe that nothing is impossible and that I can also take unusual actions if you have this strong belief .... Then these immature spirits will have to leave you, if they do not allow themselves to be calmed and spiritualised by you, but they forfeit a great blessing which was granted to them in the privilege of being allowed to join you in order to also reach full maturity in your physical shell, in your body. Keep reminding them of this blessing and try to persuade them to accept your will and to mature like your soul, so that they can shorten their process of development if they take your advice to heart. Yet whatever suffering you can bear accept it humbly and patiently, for it will surely mature you and one day you will even thank Me for the suffering you had to endure.

However, if, due to your submission and patience, the immature spiritual substances also reach maturity, then you will attain a high degree of maturity on earth, so that you will be close to perfection when you have to relinquish your earthly life. But My strength is always at your disposal and it is truly sufficient for the spiritualisation of the substances which are at the beginning of their development; yet you should consciously request My strength and let it radiate into your heart .... you should pray to Me, your thoughts should look for Me and only ever desire My presence .... You should yearn for My ray of love which I will gladly fulfil .... You only need to give yourselves to Me and be willing to receive the flow of My love's strength, which always requires heartfelt contact with Me. If you become absorbed in thoughts which only ever involve the spiritual kingdom, your God and Creator, then you are also ready to receive My flow of strength, then you will open your heart and I can illuminate you again as in the beginning when you were blissfully happy in burning love for Me. My love for you has remained the same, only your love has diminished but shall reach the same degree again which gave you unspeakable pleasure in the very beginning. And therefore you must come to Me yourselves and I will always be ready for you, I will give you what makes you happy and permeate your body and soul with My strength of love, which then will also lead you to full maturity, to final perfection. In association with Me you will no longer be able to suffer, even if it seems like that to your fellow human beings. A close union makes you insensitive to all pain, then My strength will be stronger, and it will permeate you .... either resulting in your body's complete recovery or .... if your hour has come .... in your painless passage into the spiritual kingdom, for if you are intimately united with Me you will also have attained your goal on earth ....

Amen

Painful means can lead to faith ....

B.D. 8594 from August 23rd 1963, taken from Book No. 90

If only people would believe in a God of love Who wants to make them happy. Yet in view of the immensely harsh conditions which strike people time and time again, in view of the harsh strokes of fate and all kinds of disasters, people cannot muster the belief that every adversity is also a work of love by Me, because I know by what means a person can still be saved and achieve beatitude .... Less painful means have no effect on you .... and if I speak to you with gentle Words you won't listen to Me, and yet you have to be persuaded to turn to Me, and when all painless means are in vain I have to use painful means so that you will think of Me, ask for My help and then receive it, so that you will then be able to recognise a God of love. You all could truly hear My loving Fatherly Words which merely inform you of My will, and as soon as you fulfil this will your life can then proceed calmly and yet successfully .... But if you ignore My gentle Words then I have to speak more clearly to you, because My love will not abandon you, because I will try everything to win you for Myself in order to awaken you to a life which will last forever. For you belong to Me, you merely stay away from Me, but I want you to return to Me of your own free will, and whatever you encounter in the form of suffering and harsh strokes of fate are only ever means which I recognise as successful and which I use because I love you and will never let go of you, no matter how long you oppose My love.

Therefore don't be surprised that hardship and sorrow will increase, for you are approaching the end and I still want to save souls from the fate of a new banishment, which is only possible if you acknowledge Me as God and Creator, if you call upon Me in desperation believing that a Power exists Which can help you, from Which you originated .... And you should believe that your distress will truly diminish, that you will clearly feel My help. And then you will also be able to recognise Me as a God of love, for your bond with Me will inwardly enlighten you about Me.

But many disasters will still happen on earth in the forthcoming time, and only those who have already found Me will recognise therein helpful means intended to lead people out of spiritual adversity, the others, however, will doubt or completely deny a God of love, for they are so attached to the world that they have no contact whatsoever with the spiritual kingdom, with the kingdom that is not of this world. They are purely worldly minded, and they scornfully reject every reference to God .... until they themselves experience adversity and can't see their way out .... Then I will come very close to them again, I will let the thought of a God Who is able to help arise in them, and then the great danger can encourage them to turn to this God .... Thus all sorrowful events, all disasters and other fateful blows will become explicable to you, for they are not coincidences but have been destined to occur by Me or have My permission, so that souls will still have means of help granted to them which should allow them to find Me .... But if their hearts remain hardened then only a natural event of immense proportions can make people stop and think, but even this will not compel them to believe, for totally obstinate people will not want to recognise and acknowledge a higher Power even then, but in that case they are completely subject to My adversary and their soul's fate of a new banishment is certain. However, as long as the earth still exists in its present form I will try to persuade people to change their will, and I shall still use many means which you will not find compatible with the love of a God. But I know what benefits every single person, I know the state of his soul, and accordingly I will affect him.

But you humans are fortunate if you are convinced of a loving God and Father .... Then you will calmly accept everything, whatever comes your way .... no matter how severely it affects you .... and only ever take refuge with Me, and I will truly not disappoint you. For a devout person will always receive My help, because his faith enables unusual influences. But true faith arises from love, and love also strives towards Me, the Eternal Love .... The human being establishes a solid bond with Me, and he will never distance himself from Me either. He has passed the last test of will on earth; he has voluntarily chosen Me and separated himself from My adversary for good .... And this is all I Am trying to achieve as long as the human being still lives on earth. For I want him to be able to enter his true home again, to be able to enter the kingdom of happiness and beatitude, where all suffering has come to an end and where he then will find everlasting life ....

Amen

Testing the truth of spiritual good ....

B.D. 8595 from August 24th 1963, taken from Book No. 90

Without hesitation you can and should stand up for everything what is imparted to you through My spirit, because what comes from Me can only be pure truth .... And that spiritual material comes from Me is also to be checked by you at any time and also to be recognized when you check in good will, therefore also desire truth. The spiritual material, which is offered to you, enlightens you about My will, and it gives you information about Jesus Christ and His work of redemption .... If you are therefore informed about it, if the meaning and purpose of your earthly life is explained to you, then such spiritual knowledge can never come forth from My adversary, who only ever endeavours to keep you ignorant about it so as not to lose you .... Nor can you ever intellectually fathom all deeper knowledge yourselves, which therefore especially includes Jesus' act of salvation .... because you will only ever intellectually process knowledge you already know. But whether this corresponds to truth, that you do not know, because I reserve all spiritual knowledge for Me, because I hand it out to those who really have the earnest desire to know truth, and who turn to Me Myself for supply of it. People certainly know about Jesus death on the cross through tradition if they believe in it .... but they know nothing about the cause, about the reason for His earthly life and His mission, as long as the meaning and purpose of an earthly life as a human being cannot be made comprehensible to them either .... which is only possible if a certain spiritual maturity enables the instruction through the spirit .... For in order to understand Jesus' work of redemption, the knowledge of the spirits' apostasy from Me and of My plan of salvation, of the process of return, must also be known to people. If all this is not explained to them beforehand they will also be unable to understand why Jesus and His act of salvation must be acknowledged if the purpose of earthly life is to be fulfilled .... For otherwise they reject everything as a legend and doubt His existence, or they regard His life and end as a purely worldly event without any spiritual meaning. That is why the work of My spirit in man will just give information about this, and again the results can then also be assessed as truth, because I have given the knowledge about Jesus as touchstone .... For My adversary will never inform people of the fact that Jesus, the son of God, took on flesh to lead people back to the father .... in order to redeem them from their original sin, their former apostasy from Me .... There are only two solutions: imparting purest truth on My part or one's own intellectual activity .... which, if it deviates from My mediations, will be influenced by My adversary and this will always be expressed in the denial of a 'redemption through Jesus Christ'. If a person convincedly stands up for this redemption then he is also mentally guided by My spirit. But when messages reach earth unusually, which inform you in detail and understandably about the act of salvation, then you can unhesitatingly accept Me Myself as the origin of these messages and also represent the spiritual knowledge with conviction .... Then you will also mentally stand by it yourselves, for My spirit always pours into a vessel which, through a life of love, is also able to distinguish truth from error and whose thoughts are constantly guided by My spirit. You humans, who are still completely ignorant, you need only have the good will to be instructed truthfully, and I will take care of you and also kindle a small light for you, so that you will quickly understand what you now experience through the supply of spiritual knowledge .... you need only not reject it hastily but think about it, and truly, you will be happy when everything is explained to you in an understandable way, you will be able to believe, and yet it will not be blind faith, which I will never demand from you humans .... You are to think, only ask Me Myself for right recognition, and truly, I will send you a bright ray, in whose light you will recognize and understand everything. For this reason I therefore convey My word to earth and enlighten you humans, because I want you to take the path to the cross, to Jesus Christ, which, however, is not to happen through compulsion or blind faith, but you are to come to Him voluntarily and with knowledge .... Then you return to Me voluntarily, because I and Jesus am one, I Myself came to earth in the man Jesus, because of My creatures, which became sinful in free will, which no longer acknowledged Me as their God and creator and therefore became unhappy. If they now acknowledge Me again in Jesus then their return to Me is accomplished, but without Jesus they cannot come closer to Me, and that is why every teaching will be true and start from Me, which substantiates the work of redemption of Jesus Christ for you and only pursues the purpose that you yourselves voluntarily go the way to the cross and ask Him that He redeems you from your original sin and opens the gate to the kingdom of light for you again, which is closed to you since your apostasy from Me ...._>Amen

Truth can only be received from God ....

B.D. 8596 from August 25th 1963, taken from Book No. 90

Much is presented to you as truth which is far from it .... Faith in it is demanded of you, because proofs cannot be produced of things, which reach into the spiritual area. But you will be able to understand that blind faith is of no value for your souls as long as you do not know whether you stand in truth. And since no fellow human being can give you a guarantee for this, you must turn to the one Who Himself is the truth from eternity .... Only He can give you information; only from Him you can attain truth guaranteed, because He knows about everything, and He has the power to give you information about everything, and His love wants it that you walk in truth. For as long as many opinions are still held on earth, as long as no opinion can be substantiated through proof, so long you must doubt yourselves whether that is right what was submitted to you .... And you will also be able to understand that error cannot earn you spiritual benefit because it starts from the opponent of God, but that pure truth is light because the eternal light Itself radiates it. And again, no person will be able to attain truth who is indifferent to it ..... This one remains blind in spirit, for even if truth is offered to him he does not recognize it as such and prefers to remain in error .... But truth is a great gift of favour of God; truth makes free and will always make man happy, and therefore it is also to be earnestly desired and requested and demanded by God Himself, so that man thereby shows that he strives for God Himself, as eternal truth. But then he will also be made happy; he will understand the meaning and purpose of earth life; he will recognize and learn to love God in His nature; he will see himself in the midst of the whole creation as nucleus and praise and glorify God, Who has created everything, Who is his creator, but wants to be his father and therefore let everything come into being that the being, which He once created, reaches the adoption as a child of God, which is to create and work in inexpressible happiness next to and with Him in eternity. But man knows nothing of all this, who has not yet been introduced into truth, and he will also remain ignorant until he desires of his own accord to receive light about it, because he once extinguished this light voluntarily and must now as man on earth light it again voluntarily, i.e. long for light and ignite a light in himself through love activity .... Then he truly no longer needs to walk along in darkness of spirit .... God Himself will instruct him, and he will become knowledgeable .... But no man can claim this of himself who is content with the spiritual knowledge imparted to him on the part of his fellow human beings .... For even if truth is offered to him, he must first enter into intimate contact with God Himself and request enlightenment of spirit from Him in order to recognize truth as such and be delighted by it. But anyone who blindly or unquestioningly accepts knowledge, who believes everything presented to him by his fellow human beings, will continue to live in darkness, he will receive no light, he will only accept worldly knowledge, even if it appears to touch spiritual areas. Such knowledge will not awaken him to life, for as long as he does not live in love himself it will remain dead knowledge of no value to his soul. But love is the light, which is to be kindled in him; love will push man towards God; love establishes the union with God, and love also secures the supply of pure truth for man .... Therefore love is the most important thing if man also wants to walk in truth on earth .... For love is God, and truth is God .... Love awakens the spirit in man to life, and this now instructs .... as part of God .... man from within in all truth. The human being only lives correctly when he works in love. Then also his faith will be alive, and if truth is now presented to him, then he also stands up for it convinced, because he recognizes it as truth. But if you want to fulfil your purpose of earth life, then you must also stand in truth, because then you belong to God, while you are still members of the opponent as long as you walk along in darkness of spirit, which the opponent also wants to keep to prevent your return to God. But who earnestly wants to, he will also reach truth and therefore God and become happy ...._>Amen

Value of "traditions" about Jesus Christ ....

B.D. 8597 from August 26th 1963, taken from Book No. 90

What you have taken over of spiritual material through traditions, that will not help you to a living faith when you do not awaken the spirit to life through an effect of love in you and you therefore now also win the inner conviction of the truth of the spiritual material supplied to you and you will then also recognize where error has crept in .... Pure truth does not remain pure among men, but it is again and again offered to men through My spirit .... He who has not yet awakened his spirit himself accepts everything without hesitation, even if it no longer corresponds to the pure truth, or he rejects the traditions as unprovable, therefore doubtful .... What happened in Jesus' time has only been passed on from person to person, but there is no evidence for it. It is 'handed down' from person to person, and it also goes without saying that it will be passed on again and again in an amended form the less people live in love and are therefore unawakened in spirit .... Since My adversary only ever fights against the truth in order not to lose you humans to Me, he will also again and again ensure that error creeps in, for he can influence the thinking of people who are without love .... And you men of the present time would think completely wrongly if pure truth could not again and again be guided to earth through My spirit, which exposes error and gives men clear, unadulterated knowledge about all events at times of Jesus, about everything what is connected with Jesus and His work of redemption. And again and again pure truth will be presented to men through the spirit, and whether also again and again new redemption periods begin .... Pure truth will give information and again and again be accessible to men when they just let the spirit have an effect in them, when they desire and receive pure truth from Me Myself. For spiritual knowledge cannot be fathomed with the intellect; it can only be given to you through direct illumination, through the pouring out of My spirit into you .... no matter whether the flow touches you directly or indirectly .... Truth always only goes out from Me, but man as such will always make changes as long as his influence is still possible for My opponent .... because of the imperfection of men. And the longer times pass, the more educated is spiritual knowledge and the less conclusive are the reports, which are handed down from man to man. But who only relies on such traditions, he will constantly deviate more from pure truth; he will believe blindly and finally be entangled in a dense undergrowth; he will no longer find his way through error; he will move in a darkness of spirit, which can only be broken through by a light from above, by a ray of My divine love sun, which can only then radiate into a man when he establishes the union of his spirit spark to the father spirit from eternity through love work. Then he will be instructed in pure truth, then he will also attain exact knowledge of the events, which lie long time back; he will also learn everything about Jesus' earth walk, and he will also be able to believe convinced what is submitted to him about it .... For he receives this knowledge from Me Myself as soon as he unites with Me .... My spirit instructs him from within, he needs no worldly teacher, and he will still possess greater knowledge than those who only ever draw their wisdom from traditions and who claim their intellect, however, this can easily be worked on by My adversary, and the human being then represents results of thought which never originated with Me and therefore can lay little claim to truth. Spiritual work in man always guarantees a supply of purest truth, but without such man is neither able to muster a living faith nor to represent clear knowledge, because out of own power he cannot solve such problems, which reach into spiritual area. And if he tries he will only represent error and contribute little to the breaking through of the spiritual darkness which lies over humanity. But who desires that a light shines for him, also about the events which already lie far back, he will also be enlightened about it in all truth, only he has to kindle love in himself, which earns him the awakening of the spirit .... then he also enters into contact with Me Myself, and I can now let My spirit flow into his heart, because he has voluntarily opened it through his desire and his love activity for My ray of love light from eternity ...._>Amen

The human being may not be compelled into believing by way of evidence ....

B.D. 8598 from August 27th 1963, taken from Book No. 90

I don't want to exert pressure on you because you must be able to believe freely and may not be compelled into belief by way of evidence. Nevertheless, with good will it is easy for you procure your own proof if only you allow your heart to speak and not just your intellect alone. If you are therefore pleasingly touched by My Word then you have the evidence already, in which case you should also let your heart speak, and knowing that I only express Myself through the heart you can also be convinced of it, and thus believing will be easy for you. But I must let you keep this freedom, this is why you will never be able to produce a hundred percent proof that you are addressed by the Father directly and yet, the evidence will be within yourselves and with good will you can have inner conviction. But your will to enter into contact with Me must remain completely free, which would not be the case if you .... compelled by proof .... established this contact purely out of fear, if you certainly thought of Me but not with love .... and such mental contact would be worthless for your soul. Therefore it must also be possible for you to reject My Word because you doubt that it is 'My Word' .... For the acceptance depends on a certain degree of love which subsequently enables a person to recognise it as My Word, and thus My Word will only find admission to a person's heart where love has already been kindled, but then one can no longer speak of spiritual compulsion through the Word .... Yet where there is insufficient love, the Word is not conclusive enough to be nevertheless accepted. Hence it is left up to every person what he makes of My Word; but it nevertheless remains a great help for a person to find the right attitude towards Me in the first place, if he thinks the Word through, if he, for once, occupies himself with such thoughts which My Word can inspire in him .... If the human being regards it as a human thought product and examines it in good will for its value as such, he begins to think about it and can thereby also attain the right attitude towards Me if he recognises a God above himself and makes mental contact with Me, nevertheless, this always presupposes good will .... otherwise no such examination will take place and My Word will fade away unheeded ....

This also explains why so few people feel affected when My Word from above is conveyed to them by My messengers, because not many people have the will and desire to attain Me and because only a few people lead a life of love .... Thus My Words will only remain hollow words to which they pay no attention even if it is conveyed to them. On the other hand, however, it should not give cause for My vineyard labourers to tire in their work for Me and My kingdom .... For time and again individual people will feel themselves addressed by Me, and these few will be saved from ruin .... And for the sake of these few I will still delay My Judgment which, according to people's spiritual state, would be long overdue already, but I will not divert from the day I have designated for the end from the start. Until the end, souls will still repeatedly be found which will detach themselves from My adversary's chains, to whom I can still speak in the last hour and who will also be so affected by My Word that they will change and grant Me their will. But this will always comes about without any coercion to believe, for what might even be seen as evidence will not be regarded by them as such, and only a person full of love and spiritually awakened cannot doubt anymore, because the 'working of the spirit' alone is proof for him that it is true what I convey to people, and because they find it quite natural that the Father speaks to His children .... so that they need no other proof in order to believe with conviction. But the spiritually awakened and loving person will also recognise every error as such, for the light is in him and illuminates his thinking .... Nor will he allow himself to be deceived by wrong spiritual knowledge which originates as deceptive light from My adversary, who would always like to work in the same setting and will also dazzle those again who have no real bond with Me and are therefore easily taken in by My opponent if they don't defend themselves against his influence with a strong desire for truth .... He will not be able to deceive these, for the desire for truth is synonymous with the desire for Me, and I will truly not let them fall prey to error, for I want to bring light to wherever spiritual darkness still exists .... I want to penetrate the darkness and not increase it, and I will certainly succeed where the person desires light ....

Amen

God Himself conveys the truth to people ....

B.D. 8599 from August 28th 1963, taken from Book No. 90

With immense happiness I convey the truth to you humans .... with immense happiness I inform you of the true purpose of your existence, about the cause and ultimate goal of your life on this earth .... For only if you are enlightened about it will you begin to live consciously and also strive towards the goal. Before that you are spiritually dead and every day is lost to you although it could, with the right will, lead you towards the goal. But you humans don't want to believe that your God and Creator, your Father of eternity, is speaking to you Himself and that you therefore may also accept that the information is true ....Nor do you consider that I Am a God of love and that love wants to give you everything you need in order to reach your goal on earth. And your goal is your final return to Me, from Whom you once emerged and voluntarily distanced yourselves .... And therefore you also ought to know the circumstances relating to your earthly existence, furthermore, you ought to know how you should live your earthly life so that you can achieve success. For the whole of your earthly progress can also be to no avail and I want to prevent that. I Am the Light of eternity ....

The light is brightly radiating. You yourselves are still walking in dark regions for you are completely ignorant and unaware .... For this reason I want to let My light shine into this darkness and, truly, it will make you happy to receive the knowledge which corresponds to the truth. For you can also be wrongly educated by your fellow human beings who don't have the right information themselves. But in that case the darkness surrounding you will not be penetrated because they are deceptive lights which don't radiate brightness and only confuse your thinking. I instruct you gladly and you can receive an explanation about everything providing you meet My condition that you are serious about wanting to know the pure truth .... You only have to muster this will and then entrust yourselves to Me Who, being Truth Himself, can also guide you into the truth .... And truly, you will be taught and receive knowledge in abundance which will make you very happy .... Everything will be comprehensible to you, every question will be answered and the light of day will be within you, you will have stepped out of the spiritual night and enjoy the light which illuminates your spirit. But you will only request the pure truth if love has been kindled in you .... For love, light and truth belong together; one without the other is unthinkable .... A heartless person will not ask for the truth from Me and will never ever ask for a light ....

However, anyone who lives a life of love also wants to escape the darkness .... and the fire of love emanates the light of wisdom .... everyone who is lovingly active will become knowledgeable, for I Am Love Myself, and a person who consciously allows for it will be educated by Me through the spirit .... And the more illuminating knowledge I can bestow upon you, the more I delight in the spiritual state of people who have escaped the night and thereby also the prince of darkness, who would like to keep all people in spiritual darkness so that they will be unable to recognise Me .... their God and Creator. But since I Am Love, since you all emerged from My love, I only ever want to make you happy. Yet this necessitates your unity with Me, it necessitates your will to draw close to Me again, and then you will also accept My gifts of grace, you will allow yourselves to be taught by Me and fulfil My will, which I proclaim to you through these instructions. Thus you voluntarily take the path which leads you back to Me, from Whom you once originated, because you already have a light within yourselves which illuminates the right path for you .... since due to My instructions you have gained realisation and know about the meaning and purpose of your earthly life. And the truth from Me will please you, you will request Me to speak to you if only you believe that I Am addressing you. And this belief will come alive in you through love .... Thus you only need to live a life of selfless neighbourly love and you will thereby intimately unite with Me, so that I can speak to you and guide you into the truth, as I have promised you ....

Amen

Jesus' act of Salvation was the beginning of a new phase in the work of return ....

B.D. 8600 from August 29th 1963, taken from Book No. 90

When the human being Jesus died on the cross a new phase in the work of My living creations' return began, for until then all people were still living in the spiritual darkness that My adversary had spread across all fallen spirits .... All human beings were still afflicted by the original sin and no one was able to approach Me since My justice did not allow it until the original sin had been redeemed. However, countless people had already walked across earth and amongst them were also a few of good will but without enough strength of their own to release themselves from My adversary, since they all had been unable to establish the right kind of contact with Me due to their lack of love ....

They were controlled by selfish love as a sign of their affiliation with My adversary .... And neither did they know the cause for their earthly existence, their apostasy from Me .... they were spiritually utterly ignorant yet in a worldly sense extremely busy, and therefore they forever endeavoured to gain advantages at other people's expense .... They lacked selfless love through which they could have attained a higher state of maturity. Although the few exceptions in fact sensed their spiritual hardship and also acknowledged a God and Creator above themselves they did not recognise Me as a God of love, but only as a God of vengeance and wrath. People would never have been able to progress in their spiritual development; they would always and forever have stayed the same selfish generation which was unable to attain higher awareness as long as the burden of the original sin pushed it down .... My adversary would always have kept people on the ground if a Saviour had not arrived for the sake of the few who felt wretched and in their distress had called for a Saviour.

And a possibility to establish a connection with Me was indeed meant to be created again one day which, however, should now apply to the Father .... People should be able to call like children to the Father, whereas before they had only recognised in their God and Creator a Power they refused to bow down to, because they still harboured this opposition against Me as result of their past original sin .... A relationship of love should become possible again between the living creations and Myself which, however, had to be established by people themselves through their willingness to love. But prior to Jesus' crucifixion a human being was only very rarely willing to love and then he was excessively tortured by My adversary .... so that he almost despaired of My existence. But knowing his will I helped him and took him from earth ....

Jesus Christ's act of Salvation brought an era of people's greatest distance from Me to an end .... His crucifixion atoned for the original sin of all fallen beings, and now, in the stage of human beings, they are able to establish the right kind of relationship with Me again if, with the help of Jesus Christ, they live a life of love, if they release themselves from the adversary's shackles through the blood He shed on the cross and thus see in Me the Father and are urged towards Me by love .... towards the relationship they once voluntarily severed and thereby became wretched. Jesus' death on the cross brought humanity's hopeless state to an end .... A new era began where the human being only needed to take the path to Jesus in order to be guided out of My adversary's dark domain .... where the gate into the kingdom of light was opened again too .... It was now for the human being possible again that he could change himself, so that he could shape his nature into love, so that he could become again what he had been before his apostasy from Me ....

The first redeemed souls returned to Me, I was able to admit them into My kingdom of light and bliss, which would never have been possible if Jesus had not redeemed the original sin through His death on the cross .... For I Am .... as supremely perfect .... also righteous and therefore could not cancel an unredeemed guilt. Much time had passed when people almost broke down under the burden of sin yet did not recognise their guilt and therefore repeatedly revolted against Me, Whom they could not deny as a 'Power' but to Whom they did not surrender with love. For they once rejected love, and all they had left was mere selfish love .... the wrongly directed love transferred to them by My opponent. Hence, in their nature they still belonged to him entirely .... And this nature first had to change, which was only possible after Jesus' crucifixion, Who acquired for them the will and the strength to rise and relinquish their selfish love .... All these were purely spiritual processes, for in an earthly-human sense they certainly had an enjoyable and good life, yet no one had any consideration for his fellow human being, instead everyone just thought of himself, and the strong person oppressed the weak who was unable to defend himself, because My adversary delighted in seeing the wretched state of the souls he had plunged into the abyss, for he himself was completely without love but full of hatred and animosity .... And his nature also reflected itself in people's nature .... Anyone who was strong likewise oppressed other people and knew no mercy for he had no love, just like his lord .... the lord of darkness .... was without love.

Jesus, however, tried to guide people onto the right path through love. Jesus lived and taught love and demonstrated to them that love was a strength which even defeated the adversary, and that people can only release themselves from him through love. Thus the human being Jesus had exemplified a life of love for the first time for people, and then He accomplished the greatest work of love and mercy by sacrificing Himself on the cross on behalf of humanity's sins, so that they would be set free and through a right kind of life attain strength and light again in order to then travel the last path into their true home, which Jesus had preceded through His death on the cross .... Whom they now only needed to follow in order to enter My kingdom in a liberated state, returning to Me into the Father's house, to the Father from Whose love they had emerged and in Whose love they will now stay forever ....

Amen

Only servant love leads to perfection ....

B.D. 8601 from August 30th 1963, taken from Book No. 90

In every phase of your ascent development you had to serve, because every work of creation had its purpose and its destiny; nothing has been created senselessly by the creative power, which wanted to lead the once fallen beingness up again. As man you certainly cannot everywhere recognize a serving purpose, but the creator Himself let Himself be determined by His wisdom and love to assign a task to all His creations, through the fulfilment of which always only the purpose was reached that the spiritual bound in it reached up step by step. Therefore the beingness in the mandatory state covers an endless long way of development, as this has already been announced to you men many times. But only that can be decisive for the last perfection, what is accomplished by the being in free will; only the serving as man is decisive of the once fallen being in the stage of free will. Man must serve in love, then he becomes active in free will according to the will of God and comes to perfection still on earth. Love will always express itself in serving .... because love always makes an effort to make the object of love happy, to help it. And serving love is a pure divine love; it is not directed wrongly as once that it only satisfied itself, but it always only has the well-being of the neighbour as its aim and therefore always expresses itself in serving .... What now man undertakes in serving love will always be blessed and always lead to the last perfection. But if he neglects works of serving neighbourly love, then he irrevocably remains on the same level of his development, and there is also the danger that his self-love increases and he sinks back, that his earth life is an idle run, because he is no longer forced as man .... Anyone who serves in selfless love also fulfils divine will, and he approaches his God and creator again, because serving love is also evidence of humility, because the human being now no longer exalts himself, which once caused his fall .... The whole of creation serves, albeit in a state of compulsion, and the once fallen spiritual now covers the path to God in this state of compulsion, but in this state it cannot reach the final aim, which has free will as its prerequisite, otherwise the being would eternally remain a judged being and would no longer correspond to the original state, where it was freely exposed and could freely create and have an effect .... It must absolutely receive this freedom again and now exactly again move in divine will, although it can also use its will wrongly. And man has to make this decision during his earth life to become again what he was in the beginning. Therefore he is to serve .... And that requires a putting back of self-love, a forming of oneself to unselfish, divine love, which always only wants to make happy .... what is not easy for man at first, but can be achieved during earth life, because all aids are offered to him that his self-love changes and man only still thinks of his neighbour and through this also proves love towards God and therefore approaches Him again, as he once moved away from Him in free will. And whether you men also believe to perfect yourselves by performing acts and customs .... as long as these do not consist of works of serving neighbourly love, they are worthless before God and do not contribute to your upward development. You can only perfect yourselves through serving love, because this alone testifies to your free will to return to God. And He will also again and again create opportunities for you where you are prompted to serving love, where you can stand by the neighbour in spiritual and in earthly trouble, where you can help, comfort and protect all who get into trouble and cannot free themselves from it. The earthly progress before through all creations was certainly difficult and sorrowful, but you certainly reached ascent through it, because you were prompted by natural law to be of service .... But in the stage as man it is far more difficult for you, because you must overcome yourselves, your free will must become active to do what you were forced to do before through natural law .... You must serve .... but are no longer forced to do so, but your will alone decides .... And therefore you also bear a great responsibility for your earthly life as a human being .... you can sink back again but also reach the highest height .... you can unite with the eternal love Itself through serving love, and then your aim will have been reached on earth, you will have found union with your God and creator, you will return as children to the father from Whom you once originated as creatures ...._>Amen

Mediators are under God's protection ....

B.D. 8602 from August 31th 1963, taken from Book No. 90

Everything you do for Me and My kingdom will bring you salvation, because I need you, My servants on earth .... When I assign you a job then I know that it is necessary, and when you now comply with My will then My blessing will also always rest on it, after all My love is only constantly intent on helping men that they fulfil their purpose of life on earth and reach their aim. Human hearts are to be compared with fallow fields, which are therefore to be made arable, which are to receive good seed, which comes up and bears fruit. And you are to do this work of a good farmer; you are to accept My instructions as obedient servants and receive delicious seed from Me, which you then scatter into the hearts of men, as soon as they have become willing to receive it. Consider that all men only stay on earth for the purpose that they mature in their souls, that I Myself set this task for them and that I therefore will also do everything that a fulfilment of this task is possible. And to this belongs that men are informed to what they go over earth .... And therefore I Myself have to speak to them through the mouth of men and enlighten them about everything because they cannot hear My voice directly before they have not reached a certain maturity of soul. And I always choose such men as mediators for Me, who possess that degree of maturity, so that they are able to hear My speech, and who are now also prepared to pass it on .... who therefore serve Me as servants in My vineyard. What is now more obvious than that those servants will also enjoy My protection in every way? Every single soul is valuable to Me, and I do not like to lose it to My opponent .... thus everything will also be done from My side to prevent the latter, but people always have to be ready as mediators because I cannot influence people directly due to their freedom of will. And so I am with everyone who voluntarily offers himself to Me for service, and his earth life way is completely under My protection .... That he himself is also to prove himself in tests from time to time, that again only contributes to his own perfection, because he also can increase his degree of light during earth life. But he enjoys My protection as long as I need his service for Me, because there are not many who want to and can fulfil such a task, since the time of the end has dawned, where My opponent has great power and he lets off steam, where strong counter forces have to be at work to invalidate (diminish) his work and to withdraw fellowmen from his influence. And these strong counter forces are again men in whom souls could embody themselves from above because of a spiritual mission and who therefore also reached that necessary degree of maturity on earth that they could take over this mission. And their earth course will also last so long until I Myself see that the mission is fulfilled .... Because the intimate bond of My servant on earth with Me will always earn so much supply of strength that he is up to his task, because nothing is by chance, everything is wanted or allowed by Me, but always recognized by My wisdom as good and successful .... And I will always be able to be recognized visibly as father of the house, Who embraces His own with His love care and makes them able to be active according to His will. And in this believing confidence they are therefore also to carry out the work, which I assign to them; they are to pay attention to the inner voice, which will give them the right instructions, because I Myself express Myself through the heart, and man will then feel urged from the inside to do or to omit what is My will. You, My servants, are therefore to administer your office in firm faith in My help, which you have voluntarily taken over; you are not to worry, because I take over all your worries, be they of spiritual or earthly kind, because you have offered yourselves to be active for Me, and thus your entire earthly existence will proceed as it corresponds to My love and wisdom, because only I know who does the right vineyard work for Me, and I bless his earthly progress so that it will have a successful effect on people whom I want to rescue from utmost spiritual hardship ...._>Amen

The atheist's fate ....

B.D. 8603 from September 1st 1963, taken from Book No. 90

It is the adversary's greatest triumph if he totally dissuades a person from having faith in a God Who brought the world into existence and also created himself .... Then he will have achieved what he wanted, to displace God completely from the human being's thoughts. Then he need no longer fear to lose him. Yet a person who completely denies a God is generally also an unkind person in life, therefore the adversary is able to influence him, while a person with just a spark of love left can still gain the realisation that a spiritually tangible Power exists Which determines his destiny and on Which he is dependent. The former, however, is wholeheartedly attached to the world. Nothing else exists for him apart from this earthly world, and he believes that he will cease to exist and return into nothingness again after his physical death, as a result he will take whatever earthly life offers him. And although such a person can possess sharp intellect he will be misguided by God's adversary, he will even arrogate himself to quote substantiations which intend to shatter the belief in a God. He will try to explain that all creations arose from a natural power .... However, he will refuse to accept the fact that this natural power must be an intelligent Being in possession of will, and his thinking will continue to be wrong and confused as long as he fails to kindle a small light within himself through kind-hearted actions .... which, however, are completely unknown to him. Thus he will still be totally enchained by the adversary. And therefore an atheist will almost certainly approach a renewed banishment, for he will completely fail in his last decision on earth. He will still be as opposed to God as he was when he apostatised from God, he will belong to the adversary and in the end will also have to share his fate .... Such a person cannot be intellectually enlightened either because he does not want to believe and will therefore also dismiss all spiritual knowledge as imagination and fantasy ....

Trying to convey spiritual knowledge to this person would be entirely futile, for God's adversary is his lord and he will never allow him to become enlightened, he will always keep him in profound darkness and let the world's deceptive lights appear the more brightly to him, so that the person will be totally incapable of accepting spiritual knowledge. The adversary will have taken complete possession of him and will no longer let go of him either. But in earthly life it is only important that the once fallen original spirit will now acknowledge God in the stage of a human being .... that his original sin will be taken from him, which can only happen through Jesus Christ, Whom he must acknowledge and Whose act of Salvation he has to profess, then he will also acknowledge God Himself Who, in Jesus, accomplished the act of atonement for his original sin .... But for as long as the human being lives his earthly life entirely without faith he will remain burdened by his guilt and will never ever be able to enter the spiritual kingdom but will have to endure the process of development through the creations of earth in horrendous pain for an infinitely long time again. For even in the kingdom of the beyond it will not be possible to change an atheist's mind and to persuade him to surrender his resistance to God because, like on earth, he remains closed to all instructions, and he cannot be enlightened against his will. However, were only a person on earth who believes himself to be unable to have faith seriously interested in knowing the truth as to whether a spiritually tangible God and Creator exists .... then the efforts would truly not be in vain, for then he would keep thinking about it and also achieve a different result by intellectual means, for enough evidence exists within Creation which could change his mind .... But even such people will time and again receive blessings, time and again they will be given small gestures of support, for God's love also pursues these people and tries to win them over for Himself, time and again He offers His hand to them which they need only take hold of so that they would subsequently be able to release themselves from the adversary's control. Nevertheless, his will shall never be forced, and therefore the person determines his own future fate and will have to take the path across earth in a constrained state again, because this complies with the law of eternal order ....

Responsibility before worldly power ....

B.D. 8604 from September 2nd 1963, taken from Book No. 90

"And in the world you will be hated for My name's sake ...." As soon as you stand up for Me and My kingdom you will also have many opponents, for people will always turn away more and more from the faith, they will always be more in bondage to the world and thus to My adversary, and they will always hate My followers and seek to corrupt them. But you stand under My protection .... The work for Me is so urgently necessary in the last time before the end that I will certainly also protect My servants who take care of this work because I also possess power over My opponent, and he will not be able to harm you as long as I hold My hands protectively over you, but you are also to know that you will not remain unhindered, that you will be exposed to hostilities, but which you overcome with My help. My adversary will seek to extinguish the light that exposes him, and he will always find enough followers who will do his bidding and take action against you, who will harass you wherever and however they can. People's unbelief also impels them to hostile all who stand in faith .... You certainly do not harm them, even if you offer them My word, but they are driven by My opponent and will therefore show hatred and scorn towards you, because you stand up for Me, because you preach love, which is no longer present among men .... And you will also be called to account by the worldly power, which wants to forbid you your work. But even then you need not be afraid because I will put the words into your mouth, and your opponents will not be able to answer you .... although they persist in spitefulness and seek to intimidate you through threats. But you, who are active on My behalf, will not come to harm through these opponents, because I know to guide you so that you escape their hostilities and still can work in silence for Me and My kingdom. Because there are still many souls, which need your help, which I still want to address through you and which exactly through those enemies become attentive and demand enlightenment. And also from those ranks individual men can detach themselves from the opposition and feel addressed .... Because you will always work for a blessing when you are active for Me and My kingdom .... And if you see no success with men, then this is still certain in the kingdom on the other side, and now also the souls will have an effect again from the hereafter on men, who were close to them, as soon as they themselves could first come to the light. I know it that your activity is not in vain, and therefore I will also erect a protective wall around you, behind which you can hide yourselves .... And if you are called to account, then also this need not worry you, because I am constantly around you, My servants on earth, and where the house father Himself is at work, no stranger will be allowed to venture into His area .... Only I want to prepare you for it, so that you then do not become despondent when open hostilities are undertaken against you, because the work of My opponent does not let up until the end has come .... And not only worldly power takes action against you but also on the part of church organisations hostility is announced to you because as long as these have no spiritually awakened leaders they also more or less walk along in error and do not want to accept pure truth. And therefore they will attack those to whom I can express Myself directly .... For what is not known to them themselves they also do not believe, and they are also not willing to depart from their error and accept the pure truth instead .... So they will also attack the bearers of truth and announce enmity to them. Because every error is work of My opponent, and who now represents error, he also belongs to it and will never allow pure truth to apply. And the fight of darkness against the light will always become fiercer the closer the end is .... But you, My servants, will always have the strength to endure until the end, because I will fight with you Myself, and the victory will be ours ...._>Amen

The principle of divine order is love ....

B.D. 8605 from September 3rd 1963, taken from Book No. 90

You must move completely in divine order, then you are again perfect as in the beginning of your being. As long as you still stand outside of this divine order you are defective and cannot join God, Who Himself is highest perfection, from Whom the law of eternal order starts. Everything what does not move in this law will be defective; it will turn into the opposite; it will step out of the state of perfection and therefore also be unhappy. But it remains, because everything that has come forth out of God is imperishable. But what contradicts this eternal law? .... Only unkindness, for the principle of divine order is love .... If the being of love departs, then its nature is reversed .... then all qualities come to light which contradict the once divine being and shape it into a distorted image of God .... which now also loses all qualities inherent in a divine creature .... Then the being becomes similar to him who first opposed the law of divine order, who became the antithesis of God, who has all unpleasant qualities in himself and therefore is also to be addressed as opponent of God. The original element of God is love. All beings have emerged from Him and therefore likewise have love in themselves .... But since eternal love does not force, but leaves freedom to all created beingness, the being itself could also oppose the law of eternal order .... it could think and want in the opposite way, which means as much as that it could step out of the circuit of divine love and changed itself into a being which stood outside of divine order .... It did this, it became loveless, because it no longer accepted the divine love illumination .... It became a completely different being than it had originally emerged from God .... And as long as it therefore moves outside of divine order it is distant from God and unhappy .... But it can change again at any time to the former perfect being, which it originally was. But this always requires a voluntary submission to the divine law .... it requires a completely changed thinking and wanting .... it requires a change of love in free will. Then the being again incorporates itself into the law of divine order and can again approach God and finally merge completely with Him. But the approach to God, the union with Him alone is happiness; what is away from God is unhappy, because love alone gives happiness and bliss. Without love on the other hand the being moves in an unhappy state, exactly because it is outside of divine order. But love is free, it cannot be forced from a being, yet every being has a divine spark of love within itself as soon as it walks across earth as a human being for the purpose of final testing .... And this spark of love makes it possible that the human being can completely change into love again if he wants it .... All beingness must voluntarily enter the state of perfection, for this also belongs to the law of divine order, because only that is valued to which man decides in free will .... And love remains supreme law and will remain so until all eternity .... Bliss is guaranteed through love alone, because lack of love is not part of God but belongs to His adversary, who stepped out of the eternal order and will also remain in his loveless state for eternal times, but that is why also all wretchedness starts from him. Everything is done from God to lead His creatures to perfection, what however presupposes the voluntary return to Him, which only love brings about. Again and again men are told .... those beings which once stepped out of order .... love is preached to people and God's will is announced to them so that they can accomplish the change to love of their own free will. But then he also safely reaches highest happiness, because he has entered divine will and now also again dwells in the love-current-circle .... that he is continuously flowed through by love-power and can create and work in happiness .... But without love this happiness can never be expected because without love the being is property of the opponent of God; without love it is in the defence of the divine love power current; it is darkened and powerless and therefore also unhappy because it is far from God. And its state will remain so, and if it lasts eternities, because God cannot and will not depart from the law of eternal order, because He Himself is most perfect and also all beings must be perfect to be able to unite with Him to eternal happiness ...._>Amen

God is seen in creation ....

B.D. 8606 from September 4th 1963, taken from Book No. 90

Everything around you should prove to you an exceedingly loving and wise creator, but you only look at creation with dead eyes; you do not see the life, which flows through everything; you often do not know about purpose and destiny of the individual works of creation; you cannot see through them to all subtleties, and therefore you take everything for granted, and you do not recognize the perfection of Him, Who let everything come into being. You yourselves live in the midst of a work of creation and walk carelessly along without asking yourselves what purpose the whole of creation could possibly have. And you yourselves are the crown of creation .... you are self-aware, thinking beings with vitality and free will, you can make use of creation according to your will, you can be creatively active yourselves, you can research and also subjugate forces of nature to yourselves. You can truly be regarded as masters of creation, for it was created for you that it might fulfil its purpose .... But you do not know the meaning and purpose of creation, you do not know that greater than great love let it come into being because you humans are supposed to mature in it, as well as every work of creation itself has a spiritual purpose .... You do not know that God's wisdom recognized everything what served this task, and that His power also carried out everything what love and wisdom decided. But the assignment of the whole creation is the return of all once fallen spiritual, and you men are in the last stage of this process of return, while everything what you see around you still goes its course in the different stages, but in the end also has to end the course on earth as man. Since you now possess the ability to be able to think, everything what surrounds you should also let you recognize a creator of it, a being, Which can think and want like you, but stands in highest perfection. For you are the most highly developed work of creation on earth, thus the creator must surpass all that in perfection which He Himself has created .... But He must be a being, since all His works of creation, because created for a purpose, presuppose the ability to think and a will, and .... because you yourselves are self-aware .... this supreme being must also be a self-aware spirit Which works in love and wisdom .... All this should let you recognize creation, and therefore it should not be difficult to mentally join this creator and to acknowledge Him as exceedingly perfect. But mostly you men blindly pass by everything what proves a creator to you. You have no desire to fathom what purpose creation could have; you look at everything with worldly directed senses; you resign yourselves to the fact to live in the midst of creation, and you desire no closer information about its reason and purpose. Yet again and again your thoughts are directed into spiritual territory, for thought activity is also a means to find your God and creator. Again and again you will be prompted to think, and you will be surrounded by waves of thoughts which flow towards you from the spiritual kingdom, which also belong to the greatest miracles of divine creative power .... and can be accepted or rejected by yourselves, since you possess free will. But it is the last stage in the process of return, and this is to be used well to successfully bring the process to an end. And since the aim in earth life is the voluntary union with God, everything is done from His side to direct the thoughts of man towards Him, Who is both his creator as well as his father, because the being emerged from His love in the beginning. And when the creation surrounding him does not bring about that man thinks about it and learns to recognize a God and creator, his fate of life must cause him to it, which then can indeed also be very sorrowful, but can still bring man on the way to God .... but then also the aim is reached, on which his happiness depends in the spiritual kingdom. For every person knows that his stay on this earth is not eternal .... But that he cannot pass away, only few believe. And for those then the lot will be dreadful, who did not want to acknowledge a God and creator despite all aids, which were given to man in earth life. Because man can recognize God when he only wants it himself. But he cannot be forced to it because his perfection can only be reached in free will. Every man can recognize a power over him, and he should connect himself with this power and seek to make it inclined towards Him. Then his earth course will truly not be in vain; the process of return will be finished, which has needed eternal times and still has to be carried out by every once fallen being ...._>Amen

The strength of prayer ....

B.D. 8607 from September 5th 1963, taken from Book No. 90

You should test the strength of prayer far more often in order to recognise your Father's love increasingly more, for I will always give you what you ask of Me in firm faith, and when you find out that I hear you and that My love gives to you according to your faith, you will feel ever more closely connected to Me. You should always know that prayer is the bridge to reach Me, for in prayer you establish the bond with Me and My strength of love can take effect in you. By praying to Me you acknowledge Me as your God and Creator Who can grant your prayer because He has the power to do so and, as Father, also wants to grant your prayer because He loves you. However, it must be a prayer in spirit and in truth, for your lips can also voice words in the form of a prayer which cannot reach My ear because they do not arise to Me from the bottom of your heart. So many thoughts move you every day, you have so many wishes, some greater and some smaller ones, and you would only ever have to present them to Me, and truly, I would take care of even the smallest matter if you appeal to Me for it, then you would become progressively more aware of My presence and your life on earth would be much easier. Time and again I want to be in your thoughts, everything you do you should have something to do with Me and you should be in constant contact with Me through prayer .... Never cease praying .... This does not refer to the constant formal prayers which will only ever be voiced by your mouth but never come forth from your heart .... Yet you should seek My advice in everything you think and do, then you will lead a way of life according to My will, always being guided by Me and motivated into every action, which will then also be right. As Father I want your absolute trust in My love and power .... My love will never deny itself, yet you must desire it yourselves, which a true prayer in humility testifies to. And even if you start every undertaking with just a thought of Me, or a request you present to Me, I always want to prove My presence to you by getting involved with everything, for this heartfelt bond results in an abundance of strength and is also the successful test of will, because you are continuously urged towards Me, thus you seek unification with Me which you once broke off. You can achieve much with your prayer, for yourselves as well as for all those on whose behalf you intercede. Your prayer is a source of strength for yourselves and for your fellow human beings which will never run dry, for you shall pray 'incessantly' .... Hence, there are no limitations for you, and since every contact with Me assures you an influx of strength, you need not fear a cessation of strength .... for you will join Me ever more closely until you can no longer imagine a life without Me. I want to be your beginning and your end, no day shall pass by when you will not come to Me in prayer and appeal for My blessing .... And truly, your earthly progress will lead you to the goal, to complete union with Me. Use the strength of prayer, enter the bridge to Me as often as possible for you, never keep Me out of your thoughts, present all your requests to Me, regardless of how small, for I want to prove to you that I know all your thoughts, problems and wishes by always intervening and guiding you out of all adversity, by being your constant companion, for even the slightest thought will draw Me to you and My love will flow to you, which will always help you to progress. And anyone who is in constant contact with Me will not be scared by what is happening in the world either, he is staying in My sphere, for although he still lives in the midst of the world, his soul has completely detached itself from the world, because it is always looking for Me, because My presence means more to it than all the possessions in the world ....

Amen

Acquiring virtues ....

B.D. 8608 from September 6th 1963, taken from Book No. 90

You ought to practise patience and make an effort of cultivating a life of peacefulness and gentleness in mercy and righteousness and humility, in which case you will also always live a life of love, for love alone will shape you such that you will acquire all these virtues, that you will endeavour to treat your neighbour with love and therefore live according to My will. And precisely that which I expect of you will be lacking in you as long as you are still controlled by My adversary. And you can also recognise to whom you belong if you seriously scrutinise yourselves as to what you still need to become perfect. For you possessed these virtues in your perfect state when you still belonged to Me and were blissfully happy .... By turning away from Me you changed yourselves into the opposite, all the bad characteristics awakened in you when you accepted My adversary's nature who lacked all love .... You shall reach perfection again in earthly life and therefore must also cast off all negative attributes and adopt your fundamental nature again; you must live a life of love which will awaken all virtues in you so that you will become divine living creations again. Yet this will always require an inner battle until you discard your initial nature, for time and again you will be provoked by My adversary into impatience, contentiousness and a quick-tempered nature, time and again he will want to harden your hearts, to obscure your sense of justice and prompt you to become arrogant, for he does not want you to become perfect but keep hold of you as beings like himself whom he can dominate. Yet you will have to wage this battle, for every ascent requires force towards the one who keeps you constrained. And you can become victorious if you hand yourselves over to Me in Jesus, if you appeal to Me to help you become again what you were in the beginning.

You must always consciously work on yourselves, you must recognise when you have failed and relapsed into your old mistakes, and you must repeatedly request strength from Me for the transformation of your nature. Then I will recognise that your will is sincere and I will truly help you in reaching your goal. Most of all you must discard all arrogance, overcome all faults, because then you will also recognise them as faults once the arrogance has given way .... And as soon as you live with love this love will also encourage you to change your nature, then you won't be able to help yourselves but think righteously, to let mercy prevail, to also quietly and patiently endure your fellow human beings' failings and you will try to gently influence your neighbour if you want to help him accomplish his change of nature like yourselves .... As soon as all divine qualities break through in you again due to love you will also safely reach your goal of unification with Me, which can only take place with a similar being as Myself, because this is based on My law of eternal order .... Time and again you should exercise self-criticism as to how much control the adversary still has over you and influences you. And you should always resist him when he wants to tempt you into reverting into faults which you endeavour to discard. One thought of Me and he must let go of you and can no longer oppress you .... It is just that you have to muster the serious will of accomplishing this transformation of your soul, for you will be approached by temptations every day, often motivated by your neighbour who is impelled by the adversary to agitate you so that you fall back into you old mistakes. And time and again you will have to prove yourselves, yet as soon as you prevail, as soon as you consciously work at improving yourselves, a glorious reward will also beckon you, for earthly life does not last long but the spiritual kingdom will grant you a blissful life and you will be able to work in light and strength and freedom with Me again, for your nature will have become like My own again which will also signifies an eternal unity, for you then will have become as perfect even as your Father in heaven is perfect ....

Amen

Reason for the work of transformation ....

B.D. 8609 from September 7th 1963, taken from Book No. 90

You will find it increasingly more understandable that a tremendous change will have to happen, which will involve people's spiritual as well as their earthly life .... For the state they have reached can only be improved by a massive intervention, and although this will take place in an earthly way it will also result in a spiritual change .... For everything has become disorderly, people's spiritual development has come to a standstill and in many cases even a decline can be noticed, hence the earth is barely fulfilling its purpose anymore and needs to go through a transformation .... lawful order has to be restored again, all spiritual substances must be allocated the place which corresponds to their degree of maturity or development. And people must especially integrate themselves into the right order again if they are to reach the goal one day: to become perfect according to their purpose .... Were you humans able to have an overview of the spiritual as well as the earthly chaos which presently prevails on earth, you, too, would realise that the only way out is a huge change, yet for the most part you are spiritually unenlightened and have no idea about your actual purpose of existence. This is already part of the low spiritual level, for you do nothing to obtain a little light as to why you live on earth. And you also reject your fellow human beings when they want to enlighten you of it. Everything has become disorderly because people's free will itself revokes the order, with the result that all still developing spiritual substances are unable to make progress, since people prevent their being of service and yet they can only advance by way of being of service .... Therefore divine order has to be restored again one day, and everything must fit in with this law .... People must voluntarily live in divine order, then they will also help the spiritual substances still bound within the works of creation to fulfil their serving function, they will be used appropriately and thereby slowly ascend too. Anyone who is spiritually enlightened, who, through a life of love, has awakened the spirit within him to life, will recognise the urgent situation and will also fully understand the work of transformation, which will shortly be carried out on earth, for he knows that there is no other way out, he knows that all spirits are in the midst of a process of return, that this has come to a halt and that something urgently needs to happen so that this process can continue with promising results.

The time granted for the spiritual beings' development has come to an end, and thus all that which failed when it reached the state of free will must start the process of development again according to its degree of maturity, whereas the still bound spiritual substance will enter into new forms, also in line with its degree of maturity. This, therefore, necessitates a total transformation of Earth, the termination of all life, the dissolution of all external covers which still held the spiritual beings captive, and a complete redevelopment, the emergence of new creations. And this new work of creation will also be inhabited by people again who had reached full maturity on the old earth, who had remained faithful to their God and Creator even during their worst temptations through God's adversary, who remained faithful to Him until the end .... until they were lifted away in order to be returned to Earth again as the root of a new human race .... You humans are facing this enormous transformation, and you are told time and again to prepare yourselves for it .... so that you will not belong to those whose fate will be a renewed banishment into the creations of the earth .... And if you only have a glimmer of faith in a God and Creator, then pray to Him that He may save you from this fate, and He will truly grant your prayer .... If you are unable to believe, that is, if you are not convinced of an end, then at least take the possibility into account and live your life on earth accordingly, for the time which is still granted to you until the end will pass by quickly and you should and still can use this time well if only you didn't reject the thoughts in you which keep reminding you of that which is proclaimed to you through your fellow human beings .... Live as if the next day would be your last, and truly, you will not get lost .... And only pay attention to what is happening in the world and around you, and you yourselves will realise that the only successful solution is for everything to be replaced .... that a new Earth has to be created, so that the spiritual development can be continued again with a favourable outcome ....

Amen

Through the working of the spirit light is given to man ....

B.D. 8610 from September 8th 1963, taken from Book No. 90

What the spirit teaches you is truth and can therefore be convincingly represented as such .... I say: what it teaches you .... i.e., he must open up a knowledge for you which you did not possess before .... You literally have to be led out of the state of ignorance into the state of brightest knowledge, then you can say that My spirit has taught you, that therefore I Myself have spoken through the spirit spark in you and then there can also be no error, because the spirit in you knows about everything, since it is My share .... This I emphasize again and again that I want to bring light to you men, that I want to supply you with knowledge, which enlightens you about everything what reaches into spiritual area. They are not empty words without deep meaning, they are not sayings which are already known to you, which My spirit imparts to you, even if it reminds you, as I have promised, of what I Myself have told you .... remember what I Myself told you when I walked on earth .... For also these once spoken words of Mine will be explained to you in detail; a right light will also be brought to you about these words, how they are to be understood .... You must always know that the earth is a dark area, that men have little or no knowledge at all, for what occasion and for what purpose they go over the earth .... and that I Myself, as the eternal light, also want to shine light into this darkness, that I want to give people an enlightenment which shall now determine them to also lead a right way of life .... And therefore I want to instruct them; I want to send them information about all connections, which they cannot find themselves, but which also only I Myself can impart truthfully and this therefore has to happen through the voice of the spirit .... that I Myself can work through My spirit in man. A comprehensive knowledge now, which man possesses, whose possession he also can prove, is a quite certain sign of the work of My spirit, because from no other side such knowledge can be received, which concerns areas, which are inaccessible to the human intellect alone. "You shall all be taught by God ...." He who is taught, his knowledge will increase .... But it cannot be spoken of "teachings" if man does not receive something which he did not know before, for he is taught for this reason, that his knowledge may increase. He can indeed receive a teaching material from his fellow human being .... but as soon as it concerns deeper knowledge, processes and conditions in the spiritual kingdom which no human being can know about .... the understanding for it must always be made accessible to the human being from Me .... Therefore also he must be instructed by Me, to whom spiritual material is supplied .... the spirit must be able to work in him, otherwise all knowledge will remain incomprehensible to him. You all have to be taught by God if you want to attain the right knowledge. And that you reach knowledge, to light, that alone is necessary for you, but also always a proof of My work in you. Therefore .... when you examine .... always ask yourselves whether you increase in wisdom, whether a light is kindled in you in whose glow you are able to clearly recognize everything .... And only then can you speak of the 'working of the spirit' in man when such a light shines in you .... But if your thinking remains confused or if you are only ever given words which are well known to you but whose meaning is not explained to you in an understandable way, then no divine working can be assumed, instead purely human intellectual thinking produces results which are of no value, because the intellect can err and intellectual results cannot have a good influence on the soul either, for it needs spiritual strength which can only be supplied to it by Me Myself. I know it that you lack light, that you dwell in dark areas and still need light so necessary to find the right way to Me, and that is why it will always be My care to break through the darkness through a bright ray of light, which falls down from Me to earth, and this ray of light goes to you yourselves when you intimately unite with Me and ask for enlightenment of the spirit. Then My spirit radiates into you, then the spirit spark in you is caused to express itself, and then you can be instructed from within, and you will truly receive a bright light; you will be enlightened about your purpose of existence, and your knowledge will increase the more often you establish the union with Me and ask for enlightenment from Me Myself .... Then you will also know that it is I Myself Who instructs you, that the eternal light Itself enlightens you ...._>Amen

Intercession for souls in the beyond .... I.

B.D. 8611 from September 9th 1963, taken from Book No. 90

I repeatedly emphasise that people still live in too much darkness and that therefore a light shall be kindled for them. But much is described as light which is more likely to intensify the darkness. For deceptive lights emerge from My adversary and are transmitted to people by spiritual powers who have no authority to teach but who express themselves where contacts to the spiritual world are established which can be intervened by immature spirits, because the conditions that guarantee the transmission of pure truth do not yet exist .... My adversary will always aim not to lose his followers, and therefore he will try to prevent people from loving activity of any kind. First and foremost he will try to stop the souls from leaving the abyss, from coming out of the darkness into the light of day. Thus he will do whatever it takes in order to prevent the souls being released from the abyss, if they entered the kingdom of the beyond still not having found faith in Jesus Christ. Such souls can only be helped through loving intercession because this means certain rescue from the fall into the abyss, from the worst darkness .... But this is what he wants to prevent people from doing, since loving intercession is the only means to strengthen the will of these unfortunate souls, so that they become receptive to the teachings given to them in the kingdom of the beyond by spiritual guides ....

All unredeemed souls lack the strength to improve their situation. They depend on loving intercession by people which in turn gives them strength without any kind of obligation .... No being will be able to resist love forever, and that is what the adversary wants to prevent ....

If a human being willingly accepts being taught by the spirit within himself, he will always receive truthful clarification .... But if the working of the spirit in the human being is questionable, if he does not receive knowledge from Me directly but from beings in the spiritual kingdom which he cannot control himself, he should be cautious and seriously scrutinise whether the imparted teachings correspond to truth .... For then he can easily become Satan's helper if he spreads spiritual knowledge which contradicts the truth. It is easily verified if a person uses love as a guideline ....

Does it corresponds to My love and wisdom to deny help to an unhappy being? Would I allow a being, which is longing for redemption and light, to remain imprisoned by Satan's claws?

Only the being's will decides whether it accepts help, but help will never be denied, Satan will never be granted this power, for I will never condemn but only ever try to rescue the souls from the abyss. And this salvation .... if the soul itself is too weak .... can only take place by means of strength of love which is imparted to poor souls by people or by the beings of light .... And loving intercession by someone on earth has the effect of strength which benefits the soul and fortifies its will .... but the will of the soul will be complied with. The fact that My act of Salvation is continued in the kingdom of the beyond has its foundation in My immense love for all My living creations .... Time and again I will help the fallen beings to ascend, although I respect their free will.

A person's love on earth for such unredeemed, unhappy souls is a flow of strength which touches the souls and can stimulate their will to accept the instructions which they are also able to receive in the spiritual kingdom, providing them at first with a faint light which will increase in proportion to their willingness to accept instructions. My love has no end, it also applies to these souls, and I will never allow the adversary to stop them when they look for the path to the light .... So I continually entrust these souls to people so that they may remember them in silent intercession and truly, no soul will be lost who is remembered in loving intercession.

Preaching to people the futility of intercession for souls in the beyond is a truly satanic doctrine. This teaching cannot have originated from Me since it is completely contrary to My plan of Salvation, which includes the kingdom of the beyond, and everyone on earth can participate simply through loving intercession ....

Time and again I say to you that you could redeem all inhabitants of hell by virtue of intercession .... For My adversary is powerless in the face of love, love will seize from his hands every soul he would like to keep captive .... Compared to love he has no strength, and thus he wants to stop people from acting with love by lying to you humans about the effectiveness of your loving intercession. And he finds willing people who accept such error and eagerly endorse it as truth .... And if these people considered that their doctrines totally contradict My love and wisdom, they would soon realise their error themselves, for I will always try to redeem and never condemn the souls. And every human being who is willing to love will support Me in this act of Salvation so that I, for the sake of their love, can bestow strength and yet do not act in opposition to the law of eternal order ....

Amen

The decision of the will involves a degree of cognition ....

B.D. 8612 from September 10th 1963, taken from Book No. 90

Only in the stage of free will can you make the last decision for Me or for My opponent, because before in the bound state you are still without I-consciousness; your will is bound, and you act in the law of compulsion; you are determined by Me and My will to every activity. But as man you are again the I-conscious being, which you were in the beginning, only at the beginning of your embodiment still without knowledge; you are completely blind in spirit. But a free decision of will presupposes a degree of knowledge: You must know about Me and about My opponent, should you decide for one of us. Only then you can be called to account for this last decision of yours. You can now reach a degree of knowledge in different ways; knowledge can be supplied to you, you can be instructed about spiritual things .... You can listen to My word everywhere where it is offered to you, and you can think for yourselves because you possess the gift of the ability to think during the stage as man. A small light is always kindled for you men from Me, only it depends on you yourselves whether you accept the light or resist it, that you close the eyes and want to remain in darkness of spirit. But you do not remain during your earth life as man completely without knowledge about a creator, because whether you also want to deny an essential God, so you still cannot deny His works of creation, and these creations already will stimulate your thought activity, but for the success you are already responsible yourselves. Again and again you will also be reminded of a God and creator in thought .... You can acknowledge Him just as well as you reject Him, and that is just your free decision of will, which you are to make during earth life and which you can therefore make, because knowledge is also always brought to you from Me, to which you can now open yourselves, but also close yourselves .... It is also always entirely up to your will what kind of way of life you lead .... Every person has a silent admonisher within him, which stimulates him to do good, but which he can also ignore if he is not prepared to live well on earth .... Every person comes into situations in life where he can render services to his fellow human being, and again it is up to his free will whether he now helps him or his heart is hardened .... Every man knows it from himself what is good for him and what harms him .... And he should act accordingly towards his neighbour, then he practices love, and then a small light will already shine in him, which lets him understand what was incomprehensible to him before .... Through works of love alone he already gives his free will the right direction, and he inwardly turns towards Me and away from My opponent .... Therefore every man can make the right decision, and therefore he also has to answer himself one day, how he has used the last stage of his earth walk, which was given to him for the last free decision. A certain degree of knowledge is therefore necessary, and I will make this possible for every man, if I do not call off a soul already in early infancy, before it could come to knowledge, but then also certain reasons are present, which you once will grasp yourselves, when you are allowed to take a look into My plan of salvation as perfected and will be able to determine the many different degrees of maturity of the souls and their reason. But this is said to you for your reassurance that I keep the right schoolhouses ready for all, which are suitable to guarantee all souls their further development .... and that I certainly know where and how a soul can best be helped to reach its aim. But who wants to reach the last perfection as man on earth, to him truly also all opportunities are offered for it, and to be able to take his last free decision of will, I will always stand by him, because I long for the return of My creatures, which I want to receive as My children into My kingdom of light and happiness .... But since My adversary also still has a right to every soul, the human being must decide for himself whom he wants to acknowledge as his lord; he cannot be forced by Me or by him, yet as soon as he has just a spark of love in him he will also decide in favour of Me, for with every act of love he escapes My adversary's power, who is devoid of all love and can only be defeated through love alone. And that is decisive in the life of a man, how he adjusts himself to the commandments of love for God and neighbour .... If only he makes an effort to live in love then he will be saved for time and eternity ...._>Amen

Creation is God's work ....

B.D. 8613 from September 11th 1963, taken from Book No. 90

My works of creation demonstrate My infinite love for you, My supreme wisdom and My omnipotence .... because they solely originated for the sake of salvation, for returning the once fallen spirits. Thus the entire work of creation is the expression of My infinite love because it was especially intended for the spiritual beings which opposed Me, which therefore rejected My love and likewise were no longer worthy of My love .... And yet, precisely these opposing spirits motivated Me to bring forth works of creation so that they might give up their resistance and return to Me again.

Hence love paid no attention to the resistance at first but imprisoned the fallen beings, i.e. My wisdom and might disintegrated the beings into countless tiny particles and the strength of My love encased them .... it reshaped the once emanated strength of beings into works of creation and My wisdom assigned them their purpose again .... Love, wisdom and power were constantly at work for the emergence of a work of creation; consequently, the creation was and is, in the true sense of the word, divine work which testifies of My fundamental nature and should appear to you humans as the greatest miracle, if you seriously think about it. And this creation will remain a miracle, for the works are not lifeless things but change constantly. The functions of the individual works of creation provide every thinking human being with the evidence of a living God full of wisdom, Whose strength of will and love is inexhaustible, Whose power is limitless .... Who constantly creates forms containing minute particles which are of service within the works of creation through the law of compulsion .... Since I withdrew these fallen spirits from My adversary's power, from the power of the spirit who once had caused their downfall, whom they once had followed voluntarily .... even though they belonged to him, precisely because they had followed him voluntarily .... he was deprived of his power over the spirits which My strength of love had turned into matter .... These beings were removed from the adversary's influence and are now subject to My law .... They were no longer free, since they had given up their freedom, but for their own sake I placed them into My law of service in a constrained state ....

All of creation is a work of My love for this fallen, unhappy spiritual substance which travels the path through the creation in great agony .... But once the previously fallen being has made its way through the creation and then lives on earth as a human being he will also recognise the work of creation to a limited extent and can rejoice in it, since his state of agony is over. Before him he will see the works of creation in all their glory, which will give evidence to him of the Creator's love, wisdom and power as soon as he begins to abandon his last resistance to Me. He himself is indeed free to some extent but now he is subject to My adversary's influence again, who previously had no power at all over the being. The human being still belongs to My adversary until he has voluntarily detached himself from him ....

And thus you have to understand correctly: Creation can and will please you humans because it is My work, but I used the strength which emanated from Me in the shape of spiritual beings for its origin .... I simply reshaped them into My love and wisdom's most diverse creations .... but they are nevertheless the fallen spirits in substance, thus part of My adversary, and they will remain so until they, entirely redeemed, return to Me again. You humans do not see the fallen spirit in creation but only see the works of My love, and you may enjoy them, you may recognise Me Myself therein and consider yourselves fortunate to have covered the path through My creations already and are nearing your perfection. But you should also remember that the real world is a spiritual world which can only be seen by someone with spiritual vision .... that everything visible to you humans is but a pale reflection of this real spiritual world .... You should remember that all matter is hardened spiritual substance and that this solidification was again only the result of the resistance to Me, the rejection of My strength of love .... Then you will also understand that the material world in its substance is spirit in opposition to Me .... which My love and wisdom merely oblige to be of service in order to break its resistance and to return it to its original state once again.

Hence the solidification of spiritual substance was caused by the beings' apostasy from Me, and therefore the hardened spirit substance still belongs to My adversary until it is spiritualised once more. However, this does not prevent Me from removing his power over this spirit substance and reshaping it into all kinds of creations for the purpose of its final, voluntary withdrawal from him and return to Me. And thus creation always remains divine work, a work of My infinite love and wisdom which only I Myself, Who possesses all power and strength and Who can implement anything His love and wisdom wants and has recognised to be successful, was able to bring into existence ....

Amen

A love life also guarantees truth ....

B.D. 8614 from September 12th 1963, taken from Book No. 90

To introduce men into spiritual knowledge will be unsuccessful as long as they are still completely in I-love, because so long they are also still in the power of My adversary, who wants to keep them in darkness. Because so long they will also strive for that what belongs to him .... earthly matter. They will desire the goods of the world and pay no attention to spiritual goods because these are not visible or tangible to them. The soul must have acquired a certain degree of maturity through love work that it is then also open for spiritual instructions, which can now have the result that the desire for truthful knowledge increases and then also the way of life is certainly led according to divine will. And so then also the maturing of the soul is guaranteed when man keeps to the spiritual teachings, when he recognizes them as divine revelations of His will and strives to fulfil it. That now the opponent tries everything to prevent the maturing of a soul is understandable, and his means is to again and again undermine truth by putting error against it and seeks to spread it. But error is poison for the soul, in contrast to truth, which alone is the right food for the soul. But the opponent has great success because again and again it is about that men have to practice love to also be receptive for truth and so far also able to judge that they recognize error as such and reject it. Love is everything .... it gives the human being a light in which even the adversary's activity is recognized by God. But love is only rarely to be found, and that is why also truth is so rarely recognized .... Nevertheless, again and again a light is carried to people on God's part, again and again the light of truth shines down to earth, and error could easily be recognized if only people demanded the truth .... But as long as their thoughts and aspirations are directed towards an illusory world .... a world that belongs to the adversary of God .... so long they do not desire to know what is behind that illusory world .... They do not know about the world, which alone is real, which has nothing in common with this earthly world, which is a kingdom of light, where there is only happiness and bliss, and which is taken possession of by those who live so that they always only fulfil the will of God, who therefore will also stand in truth, because the will of God is always only love work and because through a love life also man is enlightened from the inside and recognizes truth as such. But again and again the attempt is to be made to also supply truth to those who still stand far from it; the intellect of those men is to be addressed so that they are stimulated to think and it is then also possible that pure truth finds entrance into their hearts and they set themselves apart from the earthly world and strive for the spiritual kingdom. But good will belongs to it; a heart willing to love belongs to it, which lets itself be determined through teachings to also work in love. And truly, such a man will not get lost because as soon as truth can now be supplied to him, he also receives power to comply with the will of God. That is why the attempt is to be made everywhere to supply truth to men, and where the will of a man is not averted, there is also the possibility of a change of his nature, because truth goes out from God Himself, and what goes out from God is light and power and also has an effect as such. But when man receives light and power then also his soul matures, it gives up all resistance and turns away from the opponent of God and towards Him Who is the eternal truth Himself. It will increase in light and strength, it now also recognizes and pursues its actual purpose of earthly life, it strives for its perfection and also safely reaches its aim ...._>Amen

Wrong portrayal of God .... Error ....

B.D. 8615 from September 13th 1963, taken from Book No. 90

Many misconceptions are widespread in the world and people do nothing in order to gain the pure truth, they are indifferent towards everything which is, after all, the most important thing in earthly life: to inform themselves about the spiritual kingdom, about their God and Creator and His will .... And even though I mentally influence them time and again, the truth cannot penetrate the error since, due to the misconception, I cannot be recognised as a supremely perfect Being, and I Am usually portrayed to people as a punishing Judge, as a God of wrath, who merely has vengeance in store for everyone because they are sinful. As a result, they don't strive for such a God either and a distance remains between Me and the human race which should, in fact, be reduced in earthly life and finally completely disappear. And everything I send upon the human race through providence to make them think and turn to Me is more likely to be regarded as evidence that no God exists, for they are unable to reconcile a God of love with the fact that people must suffer. They are unable to recognise Him because they are instructed entirely wrongly, because they don't know the reason for their human existence and the purpose of their life on earth as human beings. They could certainly be taught correctly but they won't accept anything because they still harbour an inner resistance against Me as long as they don't practise love .... Love, however, has grown cold, people are governed by selfish love and therefore by the one who instilled this love in them, who is and will continue to be My adversary for an infinitely long time. Consequently, only error will come forth from him, whereas I will convey the truth to people .... Yet the human being always determines for himself as to whether he accepts error or truth .... neither My adversary nor I will exert force on him. But because of the human being's immature nature My adversary will be far more successful, particularly during the last days before the end, when error will dominate and the truth will only be accepted by a few people. For many schools of thoughts and ecclesiastical organisations openly endorse the error as truth .... whilst the followers of the truth will only be those people whose will is seriously inclined towards their God and Creator and who, as a result of this will, enter into contact with Me and receive the truth from Me Myself. As long as people still doubt My greater than great love, wisdom and might, they will not know the truth as yet.

Thus, misguided teachings originate from My adversary and he will always portray My nature in a distorted way in order to prevent people from loving Me .... He will describe Me to people as a being which must be feared, and they will never strive for and hand themselves over to such a being. But all I want is My living creations' love, therefore I must convey the pure truth to them, in which they can also recognise Me as a supremely perfect Being Whom they will then love in return. Error leads people into completely wrong thinking .... For it is a most blatant error if they are told that I demand practices and rituals from them, that they can thereby acquire beatitude, because people are never assessed by Me according to their fulfilment of earthly decreed commandments, instead, only love is of value before My eyes. And this love, which I Myself taught when I lived on earth, is certainly taught as well but it is not emphasised as so important, or those who believe that they live according to My will would practise it more. For countless people conscientiously comply with their religious duties and yet live a life without love .... This should make all of you think, the fact that these people are subject to great misconception against which the truth can hardly prevail, for they will not let go of their error which they could, however, recognise as error if they first fulfilled the commandments of love, for then they would become enlightened, because love would kindle a light in them. However, were these commandments of Mine fulfilled first and foremost, there would truly not be so much misery in the world, as can be recognised by every person, no hatred and enmity would exist between nations, it would be calm and peaceful, because this is the result of a life of love .... Instead, the whole world is in turmoil and clearly controlled by Satan which, in turn, is the evidence that the error is spread throughout the whole world and that the truth finds little acceptance with people, for the error is officially acknowledged and endorsed as truth .... Only love alone incorporates truth, everything else which is endorsed as being important yet does not include love can only be error, because it comes from My adversary who will always keep people from loving activity so that they will not recognise the truth, so that they will be unable to recognise Me Myself and offer Me love, which simultaneously signifies their release from him. Believe it, you humans, that spiritual darkness is spread across you, that your thinking was led astray, and accept the pure truth when it is offered to you by My messengers, as they impart spiritual knowledge to you which originated from Me Myself and which will kindle a bright light in you, because in the truth you will recognise Me and My nature and the love, which unites you with Me again, will flare up in you. Just test everything that is given to you as truth as to whether it will stimulate you to be lovingly active, and accept that .... But don't waste your time with external practices and rituals which cannot be regarded as loving activity and which are therefore also completely worthless for your soul, for I take no notice of such conduct, I only take notice of what love impels you to do, for this alone benefits your soul for eternity .... Just contemplate the state of the world, how all of people's intentions and thoughts are purely concerned with earthly possessions. But the only purpose for your existence on earth is to prepare yourselves for the spiritual kingdom .... Hence your thinking must be going in the wrong direction, and this is My adversary's doing. And therefore, as long as you live wrongly, your thinking is misguided; you are far removed from the truth .... consequently, I will try to convey the truth to you time and again .... and blessed it he who accepts it when it is offered to him ....

Amen

Intercession for souls in the beyond .... II.

B.D. 8616 from September 14th 1963, taken from Book No. 90

Reply to the doctrine that only 'qualified' praying men are entitled to pray for souls ....

I will only ever explain the Gospel of love to you, because you will achieve your task in earthly life when you accept this Gospel, when you fulfil the commandments of love for God and your fellow human beings. Hence you need only ever ask yourselves whether your thoughts, words and conduct correspond to My commandments of love. But only the love which is kindled deep within your heart will be required, for I cannot be satisfied with mere words and gestures .... And thus all labours of love have to be done unselfishly, since the expectation of reward diminishes love, and then the deeds will merely be valued by worldly standards. The innermost feeling of wanting to help and to bring happiness will always be decisive. When I ask you to live a life of love I mean selfless, giving love, as only this will result in your maturity. But this pure, divine, selfless love unites you with Me, and whatever you ask of Me in this love for your neighbour will be given to him, be it an easing of earthly hardship or the conveyance of spiritual values .... Your love for your neighbour will always accomplish it. Prayers without love, which are spoken by the mouth but do not arise from the bottom of your heart .... might just as well not have been spoken, for they do not reach My ear and therefore cannot be answered either.

But since the actual purpose of earthly life is to do works of love, I will not stop preaching love either. I will only ever assign the labourers in My vineyard to spread the Gospel of love, to appeal to every human heart and stimulate it into selfless activities of love .... That I will never prevent a person from doing a kind deed .... goes without saying. It only matters that he is lively and prompted by love, because I ignore formalities since they are worthless for a person's soul. Thus I Myself shall assess the human being's will, and only I know whether or not his heart is involved in everything he thinks, says or does.

You humans should only ever preach love, but you may never prevent people from doing kind deeds .... which also include the prayer for the deceased .... For do you know the degree of maturity of those who pray? .... And do you not cause doubts in people you caution about such prayers? Do you believe that they can judge for themselves whether their prayers are heard by Me? .... Do you also want to stop those from praying who are worried about their deceased and would like to help them or they would not be praying in the first place? .... You will cast doubts into their hearts, because a humble person is not convinced of his maturity, and only that should qualify him to pray for those souls .... . And who can claim to have such a profound basis of faith that only his prayers are valuable?

Judging a prayer's value should be left to Me alone, because I even value every soul's will to help, and truly, I will shield every praying person from My adversary's power. Only empty lip-prayers are worthless, but such praying men are still subject to My adversary's power or their faith would be alive and their prayer would come from their hearts. Thus you should not warn against prayers for the deceased, because it is not true that a praying person becomes subject to My adversary due to his prayer. A prayer cannot simply be answered by Me if it is merely voiced by the mouth. And such prayers will truly not save the souls from the adversary .... These praying people need not fear his revenge because they do not take any souls from him.

Let Me tell you that I only want to correct your thinking which became misguided, because you did not get such teaching material from Me, as it contradicts the truth which I send to earth for a light to shine in the darkness which was spread across humanity by My opponent. Wherever a spark of love is kindled the human being draws nearer to Me, and only such a spark of love will prompt a human being to pray for souls in the beyond .... . And a person like that is not without faith or he would deny all continuation of life after death and never forward a prayer for the souls ....

Amen

Spiritual results should not be underestimated .... Spirit is superior to intellect ....

B.D. 8617 from September 15th 1963, taken from Book No. 90

You can receive clarification about anything you reflect upon if you approach Me Myself and appeal to Me for truth. I impose no limitation on what I give but I only give according to the degree of maturity, so that a person will always understand what is conveyed to him, be it in thought or in a direct form through My address from above. All the same, it will always be the same truth, and even if I cannot instruct a person in the most profound knowledge, his questions will nevertheless always be answered according to truth, yet always such that he can comprehend it. And thus all instructions, which originate from Me, will have to be in accord, otherwise you could doubt their source. But everyone can raise his degree of maturity and thus also be introduced to ever deeper spiritual knowledge, and he will be beneficially active on earth, because spiritual knowledge will constantly spur him to pass it on .... Once a person has accepted My instruction he will be unable to keep silent. And then harmony will occur between people who appealed to Me for correct thinking and for truthful knowledge .... And people who think correctly will also always be willing to render vineyard work, for they are impelled from within, by their spirit, to enlighten their fellow human beings. However, once a person is instructed by Me Myself through his spirit, so that knowledge is conveyed to him which is written down, then he is also characterised as a vineyard labourer, for then he has the task of distributing the existing spiritual information, because I want to speak to all people and choose a mediator who is capable of accomplishing such a mission. And then his task will be obvious, for such comprehensive spiritual knowledge cannot be denied nor be conveyed to Earth without purpose. Although a certain degree of maturity is necessary again so that this spiritual information can be accepted and understood it will nevertheless contribute towards stimulating people to live a conscious way of life once they have taken notice of this unusual knowledge. It will always depend on the human being's will and his desire to receive knowledge of the 'truth' .... For sooner or later questions will arise in every person about subjects which are inaccessible to the intellect but which can be fathomed by the spirit in the person. And depending on the person's maturity of soul he will be granted the pure truth for the benefit of his soul. But a person should never value the results of his intellectual thinking more than those revealed by the spirit in him .... For the spirit stands above the intellect, to the spirit .... which is My part .... nothing is unknown, it can explain everything to a person, whereas the area which can be investigated by the intellect is limited and never extends into the spiritual realm.

Divine revelations should therefore never be underestimated, quite the contrary, no intellectual thinking, be it ever so sharp, produces comparable results. And thus you will also be able to assess the immense significance when I convey such extensive knowledge to earth through a human being, and you will understand that it is My will that this knowledge shall be distributed and that I will therefore support all efforts made by My bearers of light in order to carry light to their fellow human beings .... you will understand that I bless people who want to be of service to Me as labourers in My vineyard, for can there be anything more important in earthly life than to know the truth .... thus to convey the truth I send from above to fellow human beings? People can consider themselves fortunate that they are granted clarification where they still have erroneous thoughts .... For only truth grants them the light which illuminates the path that leads to Me. Anyone who sincerely desires the truth also thinks correctly, because I Myself enlighten him and he will be happy to discover the confirmation of his thinking in My Word. Yet many people must first be led to the path, they must first be informed of My will and be admonished to live in accordance with My will, only then will a second life start for them, so that they live a spiritual life next to their earthly life, and then the desire for truth will awaken in them and they can receive according to their desire. For this reason you should all try to raise your state of maturity, then you can be guided ever deeper into truth, even the most profound wisdom can be revealed to you which, however, would be incomprehensible to you while you are still in a low state of maturity. Yet I will never limit My distribution as long as you merely desire My gifts of love .... I will consider you spiritually as well as in an earthly way, for you will receive what you require for your soul and body as long as spiritual possessions are more important to you. For your body will cease to exist but your soul will remain, and it shall therefore be taken care of first, and its desire will always be granted ....

Amen

Faith in Jesus Christ is in danger, therefore revelations ....

B.D. 8618 from September 16th 1963, taken from Book No. 90

Faith in Jesus Christ as redeemer of the world will dwindle ever more, for everything will be done on the part of the adversary to place doubt and rejection into people's hearts .... and since no direct evidence can be produced, only faith in Him will ever have to be strong so that people will not succumb and completely exclude Him from their thoughts, which, however, signifies great spiritual darkness with the danger of falling back into the abyss. But this is the plan of the adversary so that he does not lose his following, which only Jesus Christ can wrest from him through His death on the cross when man believes in this His work of redemption. That is why the most unbelievable assertions are made, which all amount to denying an existence of Jesus completely or to put Him down as man like every other man, to call all His miracles until His resurrection from the dead a lie or legend and therefore to deny the whole work of redemption and to make it ineffective. And the adversary finds many receptive ears for his work of lies, who are all too willing to believe him because they do not want to believe in Jesus Christ and His work of redemption .... but just as he also shakes the faith of those who are indifferent and not fully convinced of the teachings concerning Jesus Christ .... And even these easily separate themselves from their former views .... and only he who earnestly seeks the truth can have his faith strengthened again, for it will be clearly given into his thoughts what the redemptive work of Jesus Christ is about, or he will gain exact knowledge through My word, because this is the most important reason for the transmission of My word to earth, that people will be truthfully informed about the act of salvation so that they will take the path to the cross and fulfil their most important task on earth, to seek forgiveness of their original sin from Him, the divine redeemer Jesus Christ. Because you men can only then speak of success in earth life when you become free of your original sin in this, and that alone only requires the acknowledgement of Jesus and the intimate request to Him for forgiveness of all sin. Then your existence as man was truly not in vain, then the aim has been reached by you, which however can never be reached without Jesus Christ. Redemption through Jesus Christ means complete solution and becoming free from the enemy of your soul, who then has lost all power over you men. But that he wants to prevent this with all means (in every way) is understandable, and that is why he also reaches for all imaginable plans (means) to take all faith in Jesus Christ from men. And since men in the last time before the end are also completely without love, they also possess no living faith, which would withstand the onslaught of the opponent, but they voluntarily also give up their weak faith; they accept erroneous teachings without hesitation to also shake off all responsibility, because they then also hardly believe in a God, Who once demands account from them for their walk of life. But My counteraction will now also take effect to a greater extent, and what cannot be made credible to people through evidence will be proven through the 'working of My spirit', and clear knowledge will be given to people as a result, and Jesus' act of salvation will also be truthfully explained and substantiated. These clarifications of Mine give such an understandable picture of the mission of the man Jesus that this human being comes to a convinced faith who is only serious about standing in truth .... And whether it is only few, but these also represent their knowledge, and the opponent will no longer be able to shake their faith. For they need no evidence, because the evidence alone is the 'working of the spirit', which also only became possible through Jesus' death on the cross and which only ever imparts pure truth to the human being and explains all spiritual correlations, so that the human being can no longer doubt .... But he has free will, and he can withdraw himself from the influence of My adversary, but as he also can be at his will and closes himself to pure truth. And the adversary's activity will become ever more apparent until he will finally also want to eliminate Me Myself and also want to deprive people of their faith in a God and creator, in a power which stands and works above all things .... And then his hour has also come, then he exceeds his authority and thereby ends even the time of his work on this earth .... Then he will be bound again for a long time, as it is proclaimed in word and scripture ...._>Amen

Chaos after the intervention ....

B.D. 8619 from September 17th 1963, taken from Book No. 90

I keep telling you time and again that you will experience an incredible chaos due to My intervention .... The forces of nature will get completely out of control leaving you unable to think; only My Own will be able to pray to Me, although these will only be desperate prayers by sending short, pleading thoughts to Me, but I will hear them and protect them from the worst. Yet everything will become disorderly and people will be thrown into bitter states of adversity .... And this will already signify the end for many because they will lose their life although it is not yet the end of this world.

However, before the final end I will still try to rescue what will allow itself to be rescued .... I want to reveal Myself to those of weak faith so that they will call upon Me in their need and receive obvious help, so that their faith will be strengthened and they will still be helpful to Me when the earth's last phase begins. And I assure you that it will almost be too much for the individual and only One will be able to give you strength and send you help if you call upon this One in dire need ....

But you humans cannot be spared this intervention, for it is a last attempt to save the souls who are still without or of little faith. When they see no other way out people can nevertheless still remember their God and Creator .... a Power above them Which alone is able to help. Once the huge natural disaster is over, the adversity will not end and the chaos will constantly increase. And then it will show where there is still a living faith, for this alone will master all adversity ....

Anyone with a living faith will completely entrust himself to Me and truly, I will not let his faith be destroyed. Time and again he will be helped, and he will also try to lead his fellow human beings into faith, and depending on their will and personal inclination to help they, too, will receive help, for the desperate situation will motivate actions of love and thus will have fulfilled its purpose of awakening neighbourly love which, again, guarantees that I will give people My love and the strength to deal with their situation.

You, who belong to Me and want to fulfil My will and be of service to Me, truly need not fear this time of adversity, for your constant bond with Me assures you My protection and a great extent of strength. Besides, I will also need you again to spread My Gospel of love, which will then be extremely necessary, for once again people will display their nature and only a few will be helpful and assist their fellow human beings and they, too, will be helped time and again, of which they can be certain .... But, on the whole, ever greater selfish love will surface, and people will ruthlessly take what does not belong to them in order to improve their living conditions .... The aggressive person will prevail and want to ruin the weak. And this will particularly characterise this time of hardship and reveal that humanity is ready for its downfall. Nevertheless, My Own shall always rely on the fact that I know of their difficulties and will also remedy them for, truly, everything is possible for Me, and I will also take care of your earthly lives and provide the most remarkable help so that your faith will become ever more alive, and with the power of faith you will prevail over everything and yet cannot be overcome by your enemies ....

You may well believe that this time is approaching; after all, I Am still using all means of help to win over souls who are not yet entirely enslaved by My adversary .... I also want to reveal Myself in My love and power to them as soon as their faith is a living one, for conventional faith will be completely abandoned since it is not a convinced faith, which remains steadfast during such earthly hardship. And all those who previously had revelled in an excess of earthly possessions will be bitterly affected by this hardship as the transience of earthly possessions is visibly brought home to them. And the effect depends on their souls' maturity, they will either take refuge with God and appeal to Him for help or try using their own strength to succeed at the expense of their neighbour, because they lack love or they would take the path to Me.

This time of adversity will make great demands on you humans, nevertheless you will survive it with My help .... Therefore ask for it, and also appeal to Me in advance for the strength to be able to endure once the chaos starts. For you will be able to achieve much in unity with Me but you will remain weak and helpless if you rely on your own strength and presume not to need divine help .... For I Myself will be with everyone who calls upon Me in his adversity ....

Amen

What did Jesus' body consist of? .... II.

B.D. 8620 from September 18th 1963, taken from Book No. 90

(Supplement regarding B.D. 8586)

You need never fear misguided teachings if you turn to Me directly for clarification. I will always provide you with the correct explanation as soon as something is incomprehensible to you. For you, who shall spread the truth, must also be able to refute every objection, you yourselves must know how everything relates to each other, otherwise you cannot be true representatives of the truth .... And thus you should also know that all matter is solidified spiritual substance .... spiritual strength, which was once emanated by Me as a being and did not fulfil its actual purpose .... because these beings refused to be active according to My will. As a result of this refusal the spiritual substance hardened, that is, it solidified and I gave shape to this substance .... The hardened substance became matter ....

However, by virtue of My power I can also let matter arise which has not first gone through the process of hardening of spiritual substance .... By virtue of My will I can solidify spiritual strength into a form .... This is what I did in order to create a cover of flesh for Myself which, however, was not meant to be any different from that of any other human being, with the exception that it did not originate from My adversary's realm but I joined the spiritual substance directly to creation, so that it indeed took the path through the creations which matter has to take in order to carry out its serving functions and thereby gradually develops to the stage where it shall serve as an abode for a soul ....

Every person's cover of flesh is still at the initial stage of development, it is not yet spiritualised and after a person's death it must generally still travel a very long path of development until it may shelter as part of a soul in a body .... The time the spiritual substance needed in order to serve a soul as a body was also granted by Me to this solidified strength in order to travel the path through the creations until it was permitted to serve Jesus as an external form. For this soul required a body which was of the same consistency as any other human body, because He wanted to spiritualise this body as well and because, through His body, He was also subject to all temptations by immature spirit which had hoped to gain influence over the soul through the body.

Thus, His body's substance was effectively non-fallen spirit, yet it had travelled through the realm of the fallen spirits, the body likewise belonged to the creation which shelters the fallen beings and during this path of development had to prove itself already by experiencing and enduring the pain of its bound, constrained state .... which was part of Jesus' act of Salvation as well, nevertheless also contributed towards the complete spiritualisation of Jesus' body .... For as a result of the process through creation the body was as similarly natured as any other human body, and Jesus the man had to fight the same battles against cravings and weaknesses, and yet the body was without sin because it was intended to serve Me as an abode and I already dwelled in Jesus the infant and at times also proved it to Jesus.

It must be understandable to you that Jesus' spiritualised body could not have belonged to another original spirit, that I therefore took care of this physical body Myself and that it was an act of My power and wisdom .... but that, on the other hand, its nature had to be such that its spiritualisation could also take place in order to substantiate the process of His resurrection and to give people the incentive to strive for the body's spiritualisation as well. For this purpose the individual substances of Jesus' body took the path through the works of creation too and endured the torment of constraint, so that Jesus' act of Salvation would be a complete and utter success .... For then the external immature forces exerted influence on Jesus the man, they tried to entice the still weak bodily substances to become sinful, yet Jesus resisted them, He fought against all temptations and silenced the body's every craving, so truly, His battle was not an easy one despite the fact that he was without sin .... Nothing was spared Him precisely because He wanted to exemplify to his fellow human being how to live, He wanted to provide the evidence that it is possible for every person to achieve the same .... to spiritualise body and soul ....

Nevertheless, even if it is not yet entirely comprehensible to you, you should believe that Jesus' body and soul were without sin and that precisely because of this Jesus had to suffer far more, because He had entered a sinful region and had to succeed in the harshest battle on earth a person will ever have to go through, for everything of an earthly nature besieged His body and His soul, and only His greater than great love stood up to these pressures, for Jesus, the human being, sheltered the fullness of 'God' within Him and together with Me He was victorious and broke the adversary's power ....

Amen

Diversity of apostasy from God ....

B.D. 8621 from September 20th 1963, taken from Book No. 90

My plan of return is based on deepest love and wisdom, and whether you are also not always able to recognize it .... But what is not comprehensible to you sometimes causes you to doubt My love and justice .... and then you ask questions which I can only answer again by giving you information about the difference of the apostasy from Me .... For the beings had certainly all become sinful through their conscious opposition, through the defence of My love power and their arrogance towards My love. And yet there were differences in the kind of rebellion, according to the degree of defence on the part of Lucifer, which he possessed at the creation of the beings .... and the more his strength diminished, which certainly flowed to him undiminished from Me but which he no longer accepted in his arrogance because he no longer believed he needed it in view of the large host of beings which had emerged from him. But exactly as his resistance against Me increased, so also his power decreased, and he still used his existing power for the emergence of new beings, but which had more and more his will in them, which was opposed to Me. So they were accordingly of that kind and still also had to be regarded as divine creatures because it was My power out of which they had emerged. And they, too, were able to recognize Me as God and creator, they, too, could have freely decided in favour of Me .... because I would not have allowed Lucifer to force a being to resist Me .... Every being was free and able to recognize Me and remain with Me .... Yet the beings all reacted differently to My love flowing towards them .... Some of those beings remained loyal to Me again, they acknowledged Me and remained in the sphere of My emanation of love. And again also of the first created beings many turned away from Me and followed him, who originally stood in highest light and whose will was also not weakened through influence of My opponent. And so also the attitude of all fallen beings towards Me as their God and creator was completely different. The rejection of My love power alone already made the being sinful, but the resistance against Me increased to deepest hatred .... Countless beings took on the same nature to which Lucifer himself had changed .... These spirits fell into endless depths and therefore need a far longer way until their final return .... Usually one period of development is not enough for these beings, they go through several periods of development .... Therefore there are also men on earth who already have many such periods of development behind them, who now can certainly also get rid of their last outer form through Jesus' work of redemption .... but as also again the possibility exists that they do not reach perfection on earth and have to cover the course again in the creations of earth. And as unjust as this may seem to you men .... you cannot assess the magnitude of your guilt, for you must always bear in mind that the light of realization was inherent in all beings, that they fully consciously threw themselves up against Me, but that they can also .... when they walk across earth as a human being .... think that they are subordinate to a higher power, and they can hand themselves over to this power, and then they will already have acknowledged Me again, and after their death they can be accepted into the kingdom of the beyond where they still have the opportunity to ascend .... When you men believe to discover injustice towards My creatures, then always consider that even the hardest lot still does not outweigh by far the great guilt of the former resistance against Me .... and know that also this sin of apostasy from Me has taken place in many degrees or gradations .... that you can never measure the greatness of this sin and that mostly one walk through earth creation is not enough .... Consider that you yourselves could already have covered this course (several times) {and had to go through creation again and again} until you reached that degree of development, that you now can complete yourselves when you are of the will to finally become free out of form. But again there is also the possibility that primitive men are inwardly of good mind and good will, that they in no way rebel against the power, Which has created them, that they believe in a power over them, no matter how they imagine this power, and that they cover their earth life in fulfilment of the tasks, which are given to them in their surroundings. Then they will be trained further in the kingdom on the other side and can also come again to the light; they will then also recognize the greatness of their former guilt; they will find to Jesus and now be busy in the kingdom on the other side and want to help again those who know them in the same situation. Just as they once resisted Me despite brightest realization they can, after an infinitely long process of development, also hand themselves over to Me without deeper realization, because a tiny spark of love is planted in every human heart which can be effective from within and the human being radiates love to his surroundings, irrespective of his faith .... And if he is still of a spirit completely opposed to Me he will, like many other, more highly developed people, have to start walking again {across the earth} (through creation), but one day even this original spirit will reach its aim and also realize that its former opposition to Me could not be atoned for in any other way and that at last one day the redemption through Jesus Christ also had to be accepted by it, be it on earth or in the kingdom of the beyond .... One day he will be free of his guilt and freely confess Me and be happy again, as he was in the beginning ...._>Amen

Inscrutability of the Deity ....

B.D. 8622 from September 21st 1963, taken from Book No. 90

You should believe that you humans will eternally be unable to fathom My fundamental nature. It is not possible to make you understand what I Am in essence, for your thinking is still limited, and thus you are incapable of comprehending the infinite. Infinite, however, is the spirit for Whom you created the term 'God'. And what this spirit is in Itself again cannot be explained to you either, because He has no form and you always imagine everything in existence as a form .... especially when it is of substance, thus when it possesses a thinking will. I, however, certainly exist but Am not conceivable in any shape .... I Am unlimited strength Which works without limitation .... And thus this strength permeates the entire universe, It permeates every physical and spiritual creation. And It always and forever works in lawful order .... For a thinking will directs this spiritual strength according to a plan in love and wisdom. This 'thinking will' entitles you to imagine a Being, you just may not give this Being a form but have to regard everything that is visible to you and all spiritual creations as imbued by My strength of love .... by My spirit .... with Which, however, you are able to make mental contact, because I Myself Am a thinking Being.

My fundamental nature, My spirit, My love, My strength .... everything is the same. The all-pervading strength is God .... love in itself is God .... The spirit is God. And yet God is a Being, for a thinking will determines how the love, the strength, the spirit expresses itself, it determines My every reign and activity. And though the strength of love dispersed itself into countless tiny sparks .... each tiny spark is again the same as I Myself: a spirit with the same characteristics as I Myself, only extremely small .... and yet powerful, for it is a carrier of the eternal Deity Itself again or it could not continue to exist if it were not permeated by My strength of love. And thus the human being can indeed liken himself to Me Myself, because you all are images of Me. Nevertheless you are finite beings, you are a part of Me which has to be looked upon as finite as long as you are still imperfect. Once you become perfect again, as you were in the beginning, then the fusion with Me will take place again too, and then it will be easier for you to form a concept of the Deity, albeit I Am and will remain inscrutable to you in My innermost nature. But then you will no longer apply limited standards as you do as human beings and which is the reason for your frequently misguided reasoning.

I Am a spirit, that is, I Am a Being Which is not perceptible to your human senses but Which nevertheless exists .... Which, however, is a Being because you can recognise meaning and purpose in everything I brought into existence and thus arrive at the logical conclusion of a Might capable of thought and will. Therefore you should contact this Might Which cannot be denied by you. For only this connection, the union, makes you realise that you are the same in your fundamental nature .... And when this Might speaks to you, then it does not address your external shell .... the body .... but what is inside of this shell, which characterises you as a divine image: your spirit, which thus emerged from Me (was given to you) and is part of Me .... which you once rejected and which was given to you again as a tiny spark for your existence as a human being, with other words: I speak to the eternally immortal part in you, I speak to what belongs to Me Myself, which emanated from Me Myself as a minute spark and shelters in your human cover, which is only evidence again that I Myself wanted to find Myself again in you, My living creations, and thus you will also stay inseparably connected to Me, because My spirit is undividable .... Because My strength of love assures your existence, because you can never again cease to exist, for you are My emanated strength which, according to eternal law, has to return to the source of strength again.

You will only understand all this in the state of perfection, your thinking will no longer be limited but you will also know that I Am a Being to Whom all your love belongs, you will know that I Am love Myself, and you will understand why you were unable to grasp all this as a human being. For as long as I Myself .... My spirit .... My love, cannot take full possession of you because you are still imperfect I cannot permeate you such that you are radiantly enlightened either. Yet I Am active in you, as far as this is possible, as far as your degree of maturity permits it .... bestowing ever more light upon you, so that one day you will reach perfection ....

Amen

Deceptive works of the adversary .... (UFOs)

B.D. 8623 from September 22nd 1963, taken from Book No. 90

Many times you will still be thrown into serious doubt and caused to ask questions, for during the last days you can still count on big surprises from My adversary's side. He will not hesitate to use any means to disturb you and keep you from the truth, he will do anything to distract your thoughts from your actual task of improving your soul, and he will do so cunningly to make it difficult to recognise it as satanic activity, because he will always disguise himself with a garment of light. He will pretend that you will be protected, that in times of earthly difficulties you will receive help 'from above' by beings of light, by inhabitants from other stars who will take care of people. For he certainly sees the chaos that exists on earth and even uses it for his own purposes to add to the confusion. Indeed, countless beings of light are ready to give you humans every assistance on My behalf, both spiritually and earthly, but they will only work on a spiritual level, they will influence your thoughts, they will urge you towards Me in Jesus Christ, they will arrange your fate such that your souls will be able to benefit from it.

They will give you good advice and you can also appeal to them for help in every need as soon as you are in contact with Me so that I can instruct these beings of light to assist you .... Yet visible things are truly not necessary to give you this help, they will not approach you by manifesting themselves or even operating physical objects which you can see with your eyes .... For the inhabitants of the world of light, the inhabitants of My kingdom, who are instructed by Me to help you need no physical covers to apply their will, they are spiritual beings who only ever influence you spiritually .... My adversary, however, influences you humans differently by trying to deceive you. He wants people to believe that supernatural beings take care of earthly inhabitants and instructs his followers to flash deceptive lights, for it is in his interest to stop people from giving themselves to their God and Creator, so that they will turn and entrust themselves to those beings and thereby become subject to his rule ....

He has great power at the end which he truly uses well for himself .... I can only ever warn you humans not to be so gullible. If you believe that beings from other planets come to earth in order to help you in any way then you should first consider that all visible stars are inhabited by beings in need of maturity but who, in accordance with eternal law, may not leave their assigned world .... that spiritual contact can in fact take place but people on earth should not look for such contact with inhabitants of other stars since you do not know the degree of maturity of those who want to communicate with you in spirit. Although these beings are indeed able to transmit messages to you by spiritual means .... through mediums .... you are unable to verify their content as truth. And therefore you should dismiss such messages as questionable, for when I want to instruct you it will either happen directly or through beings of light in My kingdom who receive the teaching material for you directly from Me. You should stay away from contact with spirits as long as you have not learned to differentiate between the spirits ....

My adversary, however, will always interfere where people willingly open themselves for messages from the spirit world. The desire for the supernatural alone offers My adversary a reason and he will always oblige the seekers, yet never for the benefit of their souls. During the last days he will also try to deceive people through materialisations by making non-material objects appear as phantoms before the eyes of individual people who seek unusual experiences and therefore can also be easily influenced by My opponent. In addition, people, too, launch experimental objects into the universe which are sighted again as material objects, so that people are no longer able to distinguish between illusion and reality. Yet both are of satanic origin, whether it originates from people or from the spiritual world which, however, is always the realm of darkness, just as people are prompted by the prince of darkness to conduct these experiments.

The end is approaching, and that is the reason for Satan's extraordinary activity. But I Myself also work extraordinary things by conveying the pure truth to people, and I would truly also let you know should these 'inhabitants of other celestial bodies' become active on My behalf .... I truly would not keep you guessing about it. But time and again I say to you 'Do not let such deceptive lights bother you ....' For he who causes them does not want to save you but ruin you. You will still experience much more before the end which will enable you to clearly observe his activity, providing you pay attention and stay in contact with Me so that I will always be able to illuminate your thoughts and in the light of truth you will recognise him and his doings ....

Amen

Destruction of earth is the result of experiments ....

B.D. 8624 from September 23rd 1963, taken from Book No. 90

The final work of the earth's destruction will be triggered by you humans yourselves. And I will not stop you, because I also consider the spiritual substance which, as a result of this work of destruction, will be liberated from matter and able to continue its process of development in new forms on the new earth. You have been informed of this several times already and yet have little belief, for the whole event is simply unimaginable to you. Nevertheless, it is the conclusion of a period of development which will lead to a new period, so that the work of return can once again successfully proceed in lawful order, which was no longer evident before the destruction of the old earth. My adversary completes his last satanic work by influencing people to do something which he has no power to do himself: to destroy works of creation .... in the belief of thereby releasing the constrained spirits and taking control of them. He manipulates people and induces them to carry out all kinds of experiments which, however, will fail with devastating effect due to peoples' lack of knowledge. For people dare to experiment without having explored the outcome .... they will unleash forces they cannot control and consequently are doomed to die. And with them the creation work earth, too, will be subject to enormous destructions .... The entire earth's surface will totally change, all works of creation on earth will fall prey to destruction, the effects will penetrate to the core of the earth, and thus one can speak of a destruction of enormous proportions although people themselves will not be able to observe it, apart from the small flock which I will lead away from earth beforehand into a realm of peace.

I Myself would never allow such destruction if I would not thereby gain new opportunities of salvation for the still constrained spiritual substance, which has already languished for an infinitely long time in hardest matter .... Yet continued development would also be possible for this spiritual substance if people did not reverse the lawful order and always just lived up to their helpful task on earth .... But people no longer live within divine order, and therefore My adversary exerts great influence over them and impels them to start a process in the hope of gaining the return of the constrained spirits to him. And I will not stop him, since it still depends on every person's own free will to comply with My adversary's inducement .... Nevertheless, regardless of what people do, I will always know how to utilise the effects of their actions correctly. For even the world of darkness is subject to Me and My might, and it will have to serve Me while at the same time taking part in My work of return, if only unconsciously. But I have always known the direction of humanity's will and I was able to incorporate it in My plan of Salvation .... I know when the moment in time has come when spiritual progress can no longer be expected ....

I also know when the time has come to liberate the constrained spiritual substances, and therefore will not prevent people's activity when they set an enormous work of destruction into motion due to their misguided will, which aims for My adversary, and thus people are his willing instruments. For he himself is unable to destroy any work of creation, he cannot dissolve any kind of matter and all power over the spirits has been taken away from him. This is why he tries to regain it, and people who belong to him contribute themselves towards the disintegration of matter .... at first through countless experiments which then take on proportions which matter can no longer withstand .... But I allow the spirits captivated therein to be set free, if only at the expense of humanity, which itself has reached a spiritual low that requires a new banishment into matter .... And irrespective of what My adversary and the people who belong to him will undertake .... in the final analysis it will nevertheless serve the progress of the spiritual substances again, which is meant to reach perfection one day. Therefore My plan of Salvation will surely be implemented, as it is proclaimed in Word and Scripture ....

Amen

Priority of vineyard work ....

B.D. 8625 from September 24th 1963, taken from Book No. 91

When you feel inwardly driven to be active for Me and My kingdom then you can already register this as My work in you, then I Myself speak to you through the heart and urge you to comply with My request. Then you therefore also know that My will is expressed in you and you can now be active without hesitation and certain of My blessing. And your doing will always correspond to My will. Therefore just be untiringly active; do what you are able to do, and leave everything else to Me. Again and again I tell you that it is exceedingly necessary to supply fellowmen with truth, and therefore I will also bless all efforts and works, which are undertaken for the spreading of truth. Because I know it who is still receptive and willing to receive for it, and truth is also to be supplied to these out of Me. Only your will must be prepared for it, because I force no man to be active for Me, because such compulsion cannot have a beneficial effect, because love must always be the cause for activity for Me, but love tolerates no compulsion. But you will not lack evidence of My silent cooperation, and you will be happy to be allowed to serve Me. I see the great spiritual misery; I see the darkness in which men walk; I see the spiritual low, which has its cause in the lack of love of men, and it is urgently necessary that the gospel of love is again brought to men, although it will often be preached to deaf ears, but it must be supplied to men in all purity; it must again go out from Me directly and take the way to men, if there is still to be a possibility that their hearts are touched. Men must be given knowledge of their earth life assignment; they must be instructed in all truth, if success is still to be achieved at all. And even if there are only few who take the words to heart, who hear (open) their ears, but these few are rescued from a renewed walk through the creations of earth, and what that means, that only I know .... But exactly for that reason My fatherly care is meant for men, and I exhaust every possibility, which still can bring souls back to Me before the end. But I always need willing servants on earth for this, who are active as mediators, who accept the assignment from Me to carry the gospel out into the world, which is supplied to them by Me directly. You therefore, you stand in My service .... do you know what that means? That your God and creator, your father from eternity, has chosen you to work together with Him according to His will .... That is why you are not allowed to let yourselves be held back from this work, you should always regard it as a matter of priority and be certain that I will take care of all your earthly worries and that no earthly disadvantage will arise for you either, for I am a good father of the house Whose servants truly need not suffer any hardship if they only conscientiously carry out the work He assigns to them. Only you humans can help your fellow human beings, for an unusual address, which I could certainly also address to people, would only force them to believe, and this would be futile .... But I nevertheless address people unusually when My word is conveyed to them, when they listen to it. And if they listen to it willingly then it will also touch them unusually and cause them to think about it .... Nevertheless the freedom of will has to be left to them, but what can only be done to snatch men from the darkness of spirit and to stimulate them to love work, that I will still do before the end, and I want to bless those who offer themselves to Me for service, who are willing to do vineyard work and therefore to help in the redemption of those who have not yet completely fallen prey to My opponent .... Because it is not much longer time ...._>Amen

People lack love and faith ....

B.D. 8626 from September 25th 1963, taken from Book No. 91

People keep distancing themselves from Me ever further, they want to believe less and less, for since they don't live a life of love they cannot attain a living faith either and a dead faith is completely worthless, because they will easily relinquish it completely when they have to profess whether they are for or against Me. For people will have to make this decision, irrespective of whether it will be demanded of them by the earthly authorities or as a result of harsh strokes of fate, when only the right decision can provide them with help in earthly adversity. Without faith they are lost, for then they belong to My adversary, who wants to destroy humanity's every faith in a God and Creator. Only a life of love will result in a living faith, and then there will be no further danger of falling prey to My adversary. For a living faith establishes the connection with Me and any hardship can be resolved because the human being believes in My power to do so, and also because he is convinced that My love will determine Me to help. Yet people who utterly lack faith in a Being Which is full of love, wisdom and power can be called poor and miserable. For even if they are quickly helped by My opponent in earthly calamities their souls will nevertheless be irrevocably lost, for they have abandoned all contact with Me and are therefore hopelessly subject to him. And many people will have to expect this destiny of being completely controlled by My adversary and will also have to share his fate at the end of the earth, so that they .... when he is placed in chains .... will be banished again into the creations of earth and must travel the path through these new creations once more.

Yet this happens in accordance with the will of every individual soul, and nothing can be done for their salvation other than to keep proclaiming the Gospel of love to people, to tell them what will await them if they live without love and therefore also without faith. Time and again people shall be called; time and again they shall be invited to turn their back on the world and to step into spiritual spheres .... Time and again they shall be reminded of the purpose of their earthly life so that they cannot claim to have been entirely without knowledge. Admittedly, they will pay no credence to your words but they shall not be left without warning either, for I will continue to cross their path and by means of misfortunes try to change their thinking .... since the possibility of changing their will still remains until their death and no opportunity shall be missed. And thus there will be a never-ending struggle for every soul My adversary wants to keep. And if you, My servants on earth, only succeed in persuading your fellow human beings to believe in a God and Creator from Whose Power they originated .... if you only succeed in motivating them to carry out deeds of love, then there is also the possibility that they will learn to gain faith, that they will seriously think about it .... especially when they have to recognise the fleeting nature of earthly things and begin to long for everlasting possessions.

Every change of mind can denote salvation for these human beings, and a person can still change his mind until he dies. This is why you, My assistants, should leave no stone unturned in order to awaken in people the belief in a loving Power Which wants to regain all people for Itself .... You shall also inform them of the fact that you are in direct contact with this Power and that It conveys comprehensive spiritual knowledge to you which clarifies the human being's real purpose of existence. There is always the possibility that a person will respond and listen to you, and in that case he is already saved for sure, for as soon as I Am able to speak to him Myself he will feel affected by it and form an opinion .... This is why you are repeatedly summoned to work diligently; this is why I won't stop seeking to attract the love of souls which are still distant from Me. This is why people often suffer great earthly hardship in order to motivate them into performing kind-hearted actions for their fellow human beings. And then it is not hopeless, for every deed of love connects the human being with Me and at the same time disconnects him from My adversary. If only people would believe that only love can deliver them from the enemy of their souls .... that love would also grant them realisation and could gain them a living faith, even in the Redeemer Jesus Christ. And a living faith in Him signifies definite deliverance from sin and death .... Love, however, has grown cold and therefore faith has also vanished, and no person can become blessed without love and faith, without love and faith My adversary is still dominating his soul and it cannot enter the life which lasts forever ....

Amen

Total devotion to God ....

B.D. 8627 from September 26th 1963, taken from Book No. 91

Just always entrust yourselves to Me and so make Me your guide, your constant companion, who directs you and determines you to all thinking and doing. And truly, your earth life will be beneficial for yourselves and also for your fellow human beings. Because then My will will always have an effect in you, because you subordinate your will to Mine. That is why the complete devotion to Me is also the surest guarantee that you reach your perfection, because then all resistance in you is broken; voluntarily you acknowledge Me again, and nothing now stands in the way of the union, because a complete devotion to Me is not to be thought without love towards Me and because love in you will now also not remain inactive, because your earth change will now be an effect in love. The complete devotion to Me cannot take place as long as self-love still prevails in you, because then you still allow yourselves to be valid, and your nature will show arrogance, while the devotion to Me is an act of humility and your self-love has already changed to unselfish neighbourly love. You will also only ever hand yourselves over to Me when you have complete trust in Me, when you have already recognized Me as a being Which is love, wisdom and strength in Itself. Then you will enter into the relationship of a child to the father of your own accord .... You re-establish the original relationship, and therefore you will also reach happiness again, because you fulfil the law of eternal order; you have become love again; you can receive My illumination of love and now return as My children into your father house. Again and again I woo your love, your complete trust, your complete devotion to Me. And that is why I reveal Myself to you in My nature .... You are to be truthfully informed about My nature, because only when you can measure My endless love, only when you know that it is always and forever meant for you, because you have emerged out of My love, you will understand that I long for you, and when you believe in this great love of Mine, you will also return it, because love awakens counter love. But since you as man are still of darkened spirit, you often still stand in erroneous thinking .... You fear Me, Who comes towards you with all love; you do not let yourselves be addressed by Me, because you fear My severity, because you do not feel as children of a father, who can always trust in the love of the father and are allowed to flee to Him in all troubles. You have been given a wrong image of Me, in that I was certainly portrayed to you as powerful and righteous but too little mention was made of My endless love .... and therefore you lack the trust of a child in the father which, however, the father will never disappoint. And in your spiritual darkness you often go so far that you would like to free yourselves from the thought of a God and creator in order to be relieved of all responsibility .... And you will always be strengthened by My adversary, for he will want to deprive you of all faith in Me, and if you are therefore without love yourselves then you will also be unable to believe in a being Which is love in Itself .... But you can believe that I touch you again and again to awaken love in you, because I want to prepare happiness for you, which you already had to do without for eternal times. But I cannot act against the law of order; I cannot make you happy as long as you resist Me, as long as you do not return My love. Because so long you are outside of My love current. Every resistance makes My love radiation ineffective, and only when you have again become love, you can feel the happiness of My love radiation. But then you will eternally no longer let go of Me, as also I no longer give you, if I have once won you for Me. And once I also succeed, once you will take the way to Me of your own accord, and I will stretch out the hands towards you, which you will reach for to no longer let go of them, because your true home is the kingdom of light and happiness, your father house is with Me, and you return guaranteed once again to your start .... (9/26/1963) That is why I will also repeatedly recite the gospel of love to you, and anyone who wants to serve Me on earth should also pass on the divine teaching of love again, he should encourage his fellow human being to love and set a good example for him himself, for as soon as love is kindled in a person's heart he will also join Me, and then complete devotion to Me can also take place, which will secure him a blissful life for all eternity ...._>Amen

Man shall come to the light of knowledge on earth ....

B.D. 8628 from September 27th 1963, taken from Book No. 91

When My spirit teaches you, areas are opened to you, which are inaccessible to your intellect alone .... Spiritual knowledge will be presented to you, knowledge which you are not able to explore intellectually, for which no evidence whatsoever can be given to you and which nevertheless corresponds to the fullest truth, because it originates from the eternal truth Itself .... with Him Who alone knows everything, Who can also guide the truth to where the prerequisites are present for the reception and the right evaluation of truth. Then you truly need no evidence at all, and yet the firm conviction is in you that you are instructed in truth, because it is unique spiritual material into whose possession you come, and because this spiritual material gives you brightest knowledge, because it lights a light in you, which touches you charitably .... Because you win something back again, what you once possessed, but had lost through your own fault. For once you knew everything, you could see through all connections, you stood in brightest light, in fullest knowledge of that what is connected with your being and with Me, your God and creator, and you were immeasurably happy in this light of knowledge .... You lost the light through your own fault and still enter earth as man in this lightless state. But you can again come to knowledge through your will when you let yourselves be taught by Me Myself, who alone can again give back to you the lost goods when you only earnestly desire them .... With increasing maturity of soul now also your knowledge grows, for you will then be guided by My spirit .... by Myself .... when love has already flared up in you, because wisdom .... a truthful knowledge .... takes its origin from love, because the fire of love radiates the light of wisdom. Therefore you cannot reach truthful knowledge when you are still without love. And would it still be supplied to you, you would have no understanding for it; you would hear empty words without all meaning. But without love you would also not be able to hear My voice of the spirit, and you therefore remained in spiritual darkness and will also remain in it so long until you awaken the spirit spark in you through love, which then connects with the father spirit from eternity and can now be addressed by Me Myself to your soul .... that the spirit in you imparts deep knowledge to you and you now also recognize what you were, what you are and what you are to become again. This realization alone now lets you live consciously and strive for perfection, for if you possess this realization then love has also already been kindled in you, otherwise it could not have been imparted to you .... And a loving person will now also always be allowed to increase his knowledge, for with every work of love it will become brighter in him, because this is the effect of the working of love, that the person also increases in wisdom .... of truthful knowledge which can only be conveyed to him from Me. Believe it that you cannot draw this wisdom from books .... Because without love it can never become spiritual property; without love also error is accepted far sooner than truth, and without love therefore spiritual darkness remains, and man cannot record any progress for his soul. But you men can speak of a great favour that you have the possibility to still come to a state of light on earth, if you consciously request this light for yourselves, if you establish the connection with Me through love work and now make it possible in free will that I can address you Myself, that I can supply you with truthful knowledge, which helps you to the change back of your being again into its original state, since it also stood in highest perfection in brightest light of knowledge .... And even if you enter earth as a human being in deepest spiritual darkness, you can still leave it in the most radiant light and enter the spiritual kingdom, where a blissful fate awaits you, where you are again what you were in the beginning: divine beings, which can work and create as children with Me and in My will. For all darkness, all imperfection, all imperfectness has been repelled by the soul, which consciously walked the path back to Me again and was able to find it easily because it was supplied with truth, which brightly illuminated the path for it, which leads back to Me, back into its father's house ...._>Amen

The great importance of a love life ....

B.D. 8629 from September 28th 1963, taken from Book No. 91

The ascent upwards has to be covered, and every step to perfection requires strength, which you can only ever receive from Me and the supply of which always earns you the bond with Me. As long as you go level ways, which need no effort at all, your earth life earns you no profit; you remain standing on the same degree of development, as you have started earth life. And this has been in vain for you .... Only when you yourselves are of the will to progress and you then spare no effort to reach the aim, earth life is of use for you, and you can reckon with complete success when you do not slacken to strive and to work on yourselves. But as long as you are powerless, you will not succeed, but you can at any time request power from Me or acquire power yourselves through love work, because love itself is power, and as soon as you are active in love, you also possess the power to ascend and to perfect yourselves. Because you will then always more shape yourselves to love, because every supply of power out of Me again drives you to love work, therefore every love work has an effect as increased degree of love. And you can increase this degree of love unlimitedly, because I also hand out power unlimitedly, if you just request it and make the supply possible through intimate union with Me. And so the one thing will now become understandable to you that love is everything. Without love you stand still, or you sink back to the deep, but love inspires you, and you can reach heights and secure your perfection, because through love you unite with Me as eternal love and now also fulfil your earth life purpose: the change back to that being, which you were in the beginning and which now can also again be unlimited happy. But without love this change back is impossible; without love you remain in the deep; you remain part of him who is without all love. But I have lowered a spark of love into your heart out of favour, as proof of My endless love towards you, so that you well can accomplish the work of reshaping, which however always requires your will, because you are in no way forced to it. And so therefore only one thing is important that you recognize the importance of a love life during your earth change .... Love is strength and will always help you to ascend .... You men lack love at the beginning of earth life, because it has changed once to I-love, but which is a wrongly directed love and therefore can never lead upwards .... However, if the divine spark of love planted in you is ignited, then you will be able to change your selfish love into unselfish neighbourly love in a short time, into selfless love which makes you happy and wants to give, which alone has the right to be called divine. And you men are able to let the love spark glow in you, if you are just also willing to it, because the will alone determines your doing and leaving during earth life. And according to this will also your life will bring ascent or decline. And that is why I try everything to make clear to you the great importance of your earth life as well as the fulfilment of My love commandments, so that you then consciously walk the path across earth .... so that you consciously strive towards your aim and reach perfection when you ask for strength or acquire it yourselves through loving activity .... The great importance of a life of love is not yet properly recognized by all of you humans, otherwise you would only ever make an effort to let yourselves be driven by the love within you to every action and thought .... You would practice love until you would no longer be able to live in any other way than in love, and then your purpose on earth will also have been achieved, for then you will be able to unite with Me again as the eternal love .... The radiated little spark of love has merged again with the fire of love; it has returned to its start. And I have achieved the aim I set Myself when I created the beings: that they have returned to Me as My 'children' and can now create and work in immeasurable bliss ...._>Amen

Complete submission of the will to God's will ....

B.D. 8630 from September 29th 1963, taken from Book No. 91

If you completely subordinate your will to Mine then you also have to have My will in you, then you can only ever think right and do and speak what is My will .... So leave yourselves fully trusting to this assurance of Mine that you always only carry out My will, especially then when you want to be active for Me and My kingdom. The conscious subordination of your will under Mine is also the proof of your willingness to fully acknowledge Me again. You then give up all resistance and belong to Me again willfully, from Whom you also never could separate yourselves, because you are radiated power out of Me, which irrevocably has to return to Me as your origin. And when you are now no longer of will contrary to Me, then your earth walk will also again be an insertion into My legal order, and you then can also no longer sin, exactly because your will is now also Mine. And that is why you can also go your earth way without worry that it is wrongly directed, because My will is in you, without it being forcibly directed by Me. The devotion to Me, the conscious subordination of your will under Mine, is guarantee for the fulfilment of your earth life assignment, even when again and again temptations through My opponent approach you, which you will resist, because My will directs you in your thoughts and you recognize its goings-on, he therefore no longer has power over you. And so also no difficult situations in life are to frighten you anymore, because I will always know to remedy them, because you devote yourselves completely to Me and this devotion also secures My constant care for you, so that you no longer need to fear anything what also approaches you. And believe it that also your thoughts are always directed right, because the conscious devotion to Me also always lets the thoughts flow towards you so, as they are beneficial and are also recognized by you right. And you will always only take up the right thoughts and want to carry them out; you will inwardly resist every thought, which does not flow towards you out of Me, because that is the effect of your change of will .... the subordination of your will under Mine .... that now I Myself can work in you, that I give you the right thoughts and you are then always only active in My will. And this subordination of the will under Mine is prerequisite for the office of a light bearer, because he is to spread truth, and also this task demands a certain cleverness and caution (? objectivity); it cannot be carried out haphazardly .... My will must always be and remain decisive, but which now also certainly fulfils My servant and he is therefore also qualified for his office. I Myself want to have an effect in him and cannot use any resistance; My vineyard worker must be completely of the same will with Me, but what also guarantees his devotion to Me. But then you also need to fear no responsibility, because I carry this Myself for you, because you completely entrust yourselves to Me and have entered into My will. And so I will also again and again inwardly urge you to be active for Me and My kingdom, because this is so urgently necessary in the last time before the end, where mankind is in greatest danger to go down in darkness of spirit, and it can only be helped through supply of a bright shining light .... which it certainly can also still reject, but still brings rescue from the downfall in isolated cases. And this work for Me can only then be successful when a man puts himself completely into My service and gives up his own will to only be active in My will. But then he also does not need to fear that his wanting and doing could be wrong; he will always only act so as it corresponds to My will, because he has given up all resistance and I therefore can now work Myself in him. And his work will be successful; he will speak on My behalf; he will supply men with what I consider necessary for their salvation, and he will always be able to rely on My guidance, because I accept a will turned towards Me, because it also proves to Me the complete return of the being, which once separated from Me in free will .... His will is now Mine, although it is completely free and remains until all eternity ...._>Amen

God knows from eternity the will of creatures ....

B.D. 8631 from September 30th 1963, taken from Book No. 91

I foresaw everything, I knew how both the spiritual beings would decide in free will, but how I also know about the will of men from eternity, how long it resists Me. But this knowledge did not prevent Me from carrying out the plan of deification of the beings created by Me, because I likewise foresaw that I would one day reach the aim which I set Myself when I created spiritual beings out of My love. But I will never touch the free will of My creatures, and whether they still keep away from Me for so long, because for Me there is no concept of time, because in eternity everything is just fleeting moments, what you men regard as periods of time of endless long duration .... But you men, who still keep away from Me, who are still imperfect, for you the concept of time still applies, and that is so long until you have perfected yourselves again, until you have changed to your original being, where all limitations are abolished. And so long your lot is also not to be called happiness, because in this time until your perfection you must suffer .... The aim, which I set for Me when I created you, must be reached by you yourselves; your free will must strive for it, and as this is often very long opposed to Me, I must use means, which lead to the giving up of resistance. And one such means is often suffering, suffering where the human being recognizes his own weakness and feels the need to lean on a being Which will help him .... Then an approach to Me comes about which then also leads to the aim: the complete union (with Me) .... The plan of deification of the beings created by Me also prevented Me from preventing the beings' apostasy from Me, for this deification had to be accomplished by the being itself in free will, and since it relinquished its perfection, in which I had created the being, it had to accomplish a great work: to work itself up again from the abyss to the height, but to then reach the highest degree of perfection, which its will itself had to strive for .... thus it was not forced to do so by Me .... This freedom of will alone is the decisive thing, if I want to have completely free, most perfect beings next to Me, who now are and will remain true gods, because they have completely become My image .... I can do anything, there are no limits to My power, yet I Myself cannot violate the law of eternal order, which is founded on deepest love and most radiant wisdom .... I therefore could not create beings without free will, because I can only let perfection come into being, but free will belongs to perfection. And again these beings now also had to prove their divinity that they therefore also kept their perfection in free will and completely made My will their own and therefore through this also remained in perfection .... They therefore also had to have the possibility to direct their will wrongly, because they were no beings held under compulsion by Me .... And every being put out by Me had to make this decision, and I knew about the success of this test of will. But since nothing is impossible for Me I use the most different means, which My wisdom recognized as good and effective and which always only have My love as reason to make all My creatures immeasurably happy. So I also overlook the spiritual state of My creatures at any time and therefore also know when drastic changes or upheavals are necessary to again continue the faltering process of return. And time plays no role for Me because as soon as the being has reached the state of perfection where the concept of time no longer exists, it also sees this long time of ascent only as a short moment and is happy to have overcome it. It then also stands again in brightest knowledge, and therefore it also knows that the law of eternal order demands such a change back, if the being wants to reach the highest perfection .... the adoption as a child of God .... wants to reach. Then it will praise and glorify Me and give Me all its love, and then it will also again be unlimited happy, as it was in the beginning ...._>Amen

"You must all be taught of God ...."

B.D. 8632 from October 1st 1963, taken from Book No. 91

You must all be taught by God .... That is why I must be able to speak to you in order to then introduce you to areas which are foreign to you because you once left them voluntarily and had lost all knowledge. But this knowledge will never be withheld from you when you earnestly desire to possess it. Voluntarily you gave it away; voluntarily you must want to receive it again, and truly, you can then receive extensive knowledge directly from Me that all spiritual darkness disappears, that you recognize brightly and clearly what is the basis of your existence as man. To possess this knowledge is a precious gift of favour, which helps you to perfection, which is purpose and aim of your earth existence. It is certainly given to you as a proof of My exceedingly great love towards you, but you must accept it willingly and evaluate it, only then it will have a beneficial effect for you. But that it is a gift of your God and creator from eternity, your father, Who wants to make His children happy with it, you can also believe convinced and represent as truth. Because only pure truth can go out from Me, and as long as it remains unchanged, you men will walk in its light and therefore also go the right way, because truth must inevitably lead you towards Me, while every error leads into the abyss, towards that, from which you are to free yourselves on earth. You must all be taught by God .... i.e., that you must receive all truth and make yourselves receptive for it beforehand .... For the readiness to stand in truth is part of it that you also recognize it as truth, and I Myself can also only then work in you and address you Myself when you prove this readiness by making yourselves worthy to hear My address, be it directly or also in a transferred way .... But every supply of truth requires My direct work in you, because your spirit spark has to be illuminated, and through the conscious connection with Me you now also have to attain the understanding for the spiritual material, which is supplied to you from outside, but which has always been radiated by Me Myself. But you humans no longer possess the pure truth because it has been permeated by error due to My adversary's influence, thus you are no longer 'taught by God', otherwise error would not be possible. You have no deeper knowledge or you are completely wrongly taught. Spiritual realms are closed to you because you don't want to penetrate them .... and thus you move in spiritual darkness, and this to the detriment of your soul, which needs light in order to find the right path which leads upwards. Darkness always emanates from My adversary, whereas I always emanate light .... And so you could also judge yourselves in whose power you stand .... As long as you are completely unaware of your purpose and cause of existence, you are still spiritually darkened. But if light is given to you about it, then you will also possess all knowledge about the connections, about meaning and purpose of earth life and your task. As soon as you are therefore knowledgeable you stand in light, and then you have become free from the fetters of the adversary; you belong to Me, Who alone radiates light, and you are then also 'taught by God', Who alone can open spiritual areas to you. Light, however, will always make people happy, while darkness lays itself oppressively over the human being .... And every man should seek to light a light in himself, what he will always do when he practices love. For love is the first prerequisite that the light from above can shine into a person .... Love is the first prerequisite that I Myself instruct a man because then eternal love itself addresses the love spark in man, his spirit, and can now also instruct him. And love will want to give itself away; it will constantly hand out gifts of favour, which are always only to be accepted willingly and thankfully to have an effect for the greatest blessing of men. Because what comes from Me must always have a beneficial effect, and this gift is offered to every man. But no-one is forced to accept it; the free will of man is always decisive, why also the light cannot shine where the will resists it. And whether also My love is exceedingly great towards you, My creatures, you who walk over earth as man, so I still leave you fullest freedom in your wanting, thinking and acting. And even if I want to give Myself away again and again, you must willingly accept and evaluate My gift of grace, only then will it be of value to you, but against (without) your will you cannot reach the light ...._>Amen

People don't know about their immense spiritual hardship ....

B.D. 8633 from October 2nd 1963, taken from Book No. 91

You humans are not conscious of your hardship, yet this calamity cannot be described to you pessimistically enough, so that you will endeavour to remedy the situation yourselves, for you can do so providing you muster the firm will. But first you have to recognise this adversity yourselves .... You ought to know that you have reached the end of an eternally long process of development through the earthly creation, that you had to suffer indescribable torments during this time and that you now, as a human being, are able to end this state of torment and enter the spiritual kingdom as a free being of light .... You ought to know that it is your last opportunity to free yourselves from every physical shell, but that you now also have to lead an appropriate way of life as a human being otherwise you will fail and the whole preceding path will have been in vain .... You ought to know that you, in that case, will fall back into the deepest abyss again and have to cover the path through the creations in appalling agony once more, constrained in matter ....

You humans live your lives irresponsibly; it does not occur to you that you are on earth for a purpose .... you do not concern yourselves in any way with such thoughts and don't recognise a spiritual reason for your existence .... you do not look for a God and Creator, from Whom the creation as well as you yourselves originated, you live indifferently and .... most importantly .... you live without love. Only love can take you to the final state of perfection, only love guarantees that blissful fate in eternity, since you only need love to attain the last goal: the final release from matter. For although you will enter the kingdom of the beyond after your physical death you will nevertheless not be able to detach yourselves from earth, and then you can still descend further and get banished into matter again. But you can also be caught unawares by the end while you are still on earth, and then you will return to the abyss without fail, from where you had worked your way up already .... And you will have to bear this awful fate once more, for I cannot digress from the law of eternal order, even though My love belongs to you and will never ever abandon you .... But I cannot bypass My justice which is equally part of My perfection.

Time and again I call to you: Take stock of yourselves .... you are travelling the last short stretch of the path. Don't take the wrong path which will inevitably lead to the abyss, but join Me and cover your earthly path holding on to My hand .... Consider the possible cause and purpose for your earthly existence, and truly, I will illuminate you in this respect because I want you to follow the path to your Father's house, because I long for your return to Me and would like to spare you the terrible fate of a new banishment .... Realise the fact that you are in tremendous spiritual danger and try to change it, for it is entirely due to your will to fulfil the task that you were allowed to embody yourselves as human beings .... But you have to liberate yourselves from worldly longings; you should not look at your earthly life as an end in itself but always recognise it as the means to an end ....

And it will be possible for you to live an expedient way of life if only you endeavour to live a life of love .... Then you will have escaped the risk of failure in this end period, then you will recognise ever more clearly why you are living on earth, and you will always make the effort to fulfil the will of your God and Creator, you will enter into a father-child relationship, and then the Father will take hold of you and draw you to Himself and never ever let you descend into the abyss again. Listen to My admonitions and warnings, change your way of life, and try to conclude the infinitely long earthly path in order to enter the kingdom of light and bliss after your physical death. And if you muster this determination then you will also truly receive the strength to do so, for I will help you until the end so that you will attain life and not fall prey to death again ....

Amen

Historic evidence of Jesus and His act of Salvation does not exist ....

B.D. 8634 from October 3rd 1963, taken from Book No. 91

People generally regard Jesus' death on the cross as a purely worldly event, providing they believe in His existence in the first place. They regard His death as the execution of a judgment against a troublemaker; they present Him as a court case based on an offence against the authorities by the man Jesus. And these people cannot find redemption through His crucifixion either, because they don't believe that He died in atonement for a grave sin which burdens every person, and from which everyone who believes in Him and His act of Salvation can be released. Therefore, as long as people have no knowledge of the reasons for the act of Salvation, as long as they are unaware of the immense original sin on account of which people live on earth, as long as they don't know the spiritual correlations which explain this said act of Salvation by Jesus, they will not avail themselves of the blessings of this act of Salvation either. They will only ever regard Him as a person who supposedly had a mission, for they have no time at all for this mission. And yet it is of vital importance for a person's life on earth that he professes Jesus Christ and His act of Salvation, that he tries to release himself from His immense original sin which cannot be redeemed without Jesus Christ, and thus also requires the acknowledgment of Jesus Christ in order to become free of it. And precisely the importance of it .... the great significance of acknowledging Jesus as Son of God and Redeemer of the world .... should make you understand why I keep enlightening you about it. This alone should explain My remarkable activity of conveying the truth from above to earth, for no historical evidence can be produced for the sequence of the crucifixion as well as for all accompanying circumstances .... for Jesus' way of life on earth and His countless miracles, which any person will deny who has no knowledge of the power of the spirit, of the power of love.

People believe mere traditions which were passed on from generation to generation, which cannot be reinforced through evidence and which therefore might just as well be consigned to the realm of fantasy. But time and again people must be informed of the fact that Jesus Christ is their only salvation if they want to enter the realm of blissful happiness after their body's death .... They must be informed of the fact that they do not cease to exist when their body dies and that their state afterwards depends on their attitude towards Jesus Christ and His act of Salvation. Faith in Him is so important that everything needs to be done to make it easy for people to gain this faith. And the quickest possible way is through a truthful portrayal of His life on earth, through clarification about His mission which was not based on earthly but instead on spiritual reasons. This also requires the truthful passing on of knowledge which explains everything that preceded Jesus' act of Salvation .... Anyone who can be introduced to this knowledge on account of his own willingness to know the truth, will no longer doubt the extremely important mission of Jesus, the human being, and acknowledge Him and His act of Salvation as well as profess Him to his fellowmen. Admittedly, none of this knowledge can be proven to him in an earthly way, but if he accepts the teachings through the spirit he will not doubt them, he will believe them with conviction, even without evidence, and advocate the truth of it himself. Every person's life on earth is in vain if he does not find Jesus Christ and take the path to the cross. And although it is still possible to accept Him in the kingdom of the beyond, he will nevertheless lose many blessings which he could have used on earth in order to attain the childship to God, which is only possible for him on earth. In the afterlife it is often difficult to receive a little light if the soul is as stubborn as it was on earth and refuses to accept the instructions it is offered by the beings of light. For this reason everything will still be done before the end to bestow upon people the correct understanding of Jesus Christ, wherein you can also recognise the reason for My revelations, for people cannot provide you with the true explanation. However, I will always make sure that the knowledge about Jesus and His act of Salvation is preserved, and I will always correct errors, for only truth is the right light and you will also be able to accept the truth without qualms if you desire it and appeal to Me to give it to you ....

Amen

Vineyard work according to God's will ....

B.D. 8635 from October 4th 1963, taken from Book No. 91

Every one of My co-workers is blessed by Me and given the silent assurance of My support as soon as he works for Me. For I need his cooperation, even though it is truly within My power to shape everything according to My will, and thus also to perfect you humans through My will. However, My plan for bringing you to perfection requires the human being's free will, for this reason the redemptive work must also be carried out by people, so that everything takes place within the framework of natural progression and no unusual activity compels a person to believe .... Time and again I give you the assurance that I will guide your every thought and that you then will also undertake the vineyard work according to My will. Yet I keep reminding you to work diligently and take pleasure in your willingness to help. However, in the final analysis, a blessed vineyard work will always consist of industrious detailed work .... the distribution of My Gospel will always take place on a small scale, for even if masses congregated in order to hear the proclamation of My Word, My Word would nevertheless only take root in a few hearts where the seed would grow. The success will decrease ever more during the last days, for the majority of people will turn away, they will close their ears because they no longer believe. But I know the individual human hearts and it is to these that I will convey the gifts of grace; I will bring them together with My vineyard labourers in order to speak through them directly ....

You can believe that I will not leave out one soul where there is still hope that it will gladly listen to Me. And you, My servants on earth, will truly achieve more with diligent detailed work than with major campaigns which will not yield the success you hope for. But if I Myself foresee a success, then I will also guide your thoughts correctly and put the means at your disposal so that you can work again according to My will. Yet you should not rush into things nor worry, just grant Me your will and let yourselves be guided, and leave everything else to Me. How few people are open to spiritual knowledge because only a few have an awakened spirit .... You must bear in mind that most people don't understand it even if it is conveyed to them because they live without love and are spiritually entirely unenlightened. This is why the spiritual knowledge that originates from Me directly cannot be distributed to the same extent as any other writing which is and can be offered to the broad mass of population, because the world only appreciates worldly goods. But I know what will be successful, and from My side everything will be done in order to increase the number of those who will be saved, and you should only ever do what is within your power, and always lovingly help your fellow human beings in their adversity. And I will bless every effort regarding this rescue work. I Myself will support them in every way but I also foresee the achievement and therefore also know which work is fruitless, thus I will prevent it so that you won't use your strength and effort ineffectively. Yet the achievements of silently rendered vineyard work cannot be estimated by you, where the souls pick up and observe every thought that moves you, and therefore your redemptive work will never be in vain, for I want to address all souls, which you will always enable Me to do if you unselfishly work for Me ....

Amen

Human beings have free will .... abuse ....

B.D. 8636 from October 5th 1963, taken from Book No. 91

The will of man is the decisive thing. He is free and remains free until the end of his life, and also in the kingdom on the other side it is the free will of the soul, which causes it to ascent or fall, and that is why this will also alone determines the fate of the soul in eternity. If you humans now doubt free will because you are often unable to carry out your free will in earthly matters, then you must first of all realize that 'free will' must be understood to mean your innermost will, which cannot be determined by anyone, neither by Me nor by My adversary, nor by earthly power or by a fellow human being .... You will always determine this inner will yourselves, even if it is impossible for you to carry out what you want. For you must not confuse 'will' with 'possibility of execution'. That is why you so often argue that the human being possesses free will. And because you have free will you also have to answer for the direction of this will. What you now undertake earthly is perhaps important for your earthly situation in life, but not for the fate of your soul, and therefore it is about the direction of your will in spiritual relationship, i.e., your inner life is to correspond to My will, then your will is right directed, and you fulfil your earth life purpose. But only few men walk on the spiritual level, but the others therefore deny free will because they cannot always carry out their earthly plans, and they even stoop to the assertion that man is a plaything of fate and cannot do anything of his own to change his situation in life. But that mostly fate is always only to serve as means to give man's free will the right direction, so that it turns towards God and therefore brings man on the spiritual level, that they do not acknowledge, and already this inner refusal proves free will. People's free will is misused far more than it is used, otherwise the spiritual low would not have occurred, but which visibly characterizes the end time. People do not make it clear to themselves that they are free-willing creatures, that they can turn their innermost thoughts in any direction and that they themselves determine through their will which thoughts find access. Because every man leads his own inner life, which can be determined from no side, but is free matter of will of every individual. But as long as men dispute a free will, they also shake off all responsibility from themselves and always make Him responsible for their doing and thinking, Who has created them, when they believe in a God and creator. But as long as they do not know about the meaning and purpose of their earth life, they also do not think about how they lead their life, because they consider earth life to be an end in itself, but not a means to an end, and their wanting and thinking is only earthly directed. Free will alone is decisive whether they reach their aim on earth, because free will must confess God as God and creator (confess his God and creator), and in free will man must fulfil the love commandments of God .... Then free will will take the right direction and also experience strengthening at any time, because the man, who lives in love, will also find to Jesus Christ and receive from Him the favours of a strengthened will and then his lot in eternity is also secured. Free will is abused because all bad actions result from man directing his will wrongly, that he still is at the will of him who has brought all disaster into the world. Also the apostasy of the beings from God had free will as cause, and the return to God must therefore again take place in free will, what can only happen when it takes the right direction, when the will again turns towards God, and now man is also seized by Him and he then also guaranteed to again return to Him, from Whom he once started as free, light-full being ...._>Amen

Strength and self-awareness .... Thinking ability - Will ....

B.D. 8637 from October 6th 1963, taken from Book No. 91

You humans would not be able to exist were you not pervaded by My strength .... in other words, you would not be alive anymore had your souls escaped from you, which is My once emanated strength and the real life in you. Thus, you are animated by divine strength, which flowed forth from Me, the Primary Source of strength. Those of you who do not believe in a God and Creator consider your physical life a mere natural occurrence which, even though you cannot explain it yourselves, does not particularly occupy your mind; in fact, it leaves you indifferent and might only cause you to think insofar as that you will have to relinquish your earthly life one day, that you are transient, if you don't believe in the continuation of life. However, the fact that the strength from Me, which is the soul within you, is the foundation of the human being's real self-awareness and that you are basically the same in your fundamental substance as your God and Creator, is not something you think about, and therefore you won't make use of your earthly life if you are not conscious of its actual purpose. Every human being was originally a divine living creation, for the human state is not the beginning of his existence but only the result of the beings' infinite aberration, which I once created in all perfection ....

But it is always the same strength which flows through the once-created beings as well as through people and which enables them to live .... this strength merely affects the first-created beings as well as people to different degrees .... that therefore the same strength was once able to be unrestrictedly creatively active, whereas in the human being, because of his resistance to Me .... which was the result of his past apostasy from Me .... it only achieves very minimal activity. Yet people's will is able to increase this strength at any time, until they can be fully active again according to My will, if the human being perfects himself on earth. People have no knowledge of this and consider themselves not much different than any other work of creation around them, which are indeed strength from Me as well or they would not exist. For there is nothing that is not permeated by My strength, the works of creation are merely without self-awareness until all individual sparks of strength have gathered again as a human soul and then possess self-awareness again as in the beginning. But with self-awareness, the human being also receives his thinking ability again and this enables him, with good will, to weigh up arising thoughts against each other .... But a tiny spark of love is in him too, which can also kindle a small light in him, and thus divine powers, which he once possessed and lost through his apostasy from Me, can be awakened again. For the strength which permeates every human being .... as a divine living creation .... has to take effect in some form or other.

Nevertheless, the human being's will decides whether divine strength is used according to divine will and thus results in a constant increase of divine strength or whether it merely serves the maintenance of the body and is misused again, as before, when the beings' apostasy happened, because these beings were not active according to My will but opposed it with their own wrong will .... Only when the human being is fully aware of the fact that he is God's created being and that his continued existence is therefore only ensured by the permeation of divine strength will he make an effort to use this strength correctly and aim to constantly increase the influx of divine strength. For then he will also learn to love Me Myself, he will be lovingly active, and the more lovingly active he is the more strength he will have. Everything you see around yourselves is strength from Me, and thus in your fundamental substance you humans, too, can only be My emanated strength, and you should seriously consider that your Creator, being profoundly wise, has given you life for a purpose .... But your intelligence alone should tell you already that this purpose does not purely consist of earthly accomplishments or achievements and therefore you should not stop asking questions and try to ascertain the reason for your existence on earth .... Such thoughts are too important to reject if they arise in you, and a person who seriously reflects on them will truly not be left without an acceptable answer, even if it is only mentally imparted to him again. However, anyone who regards himself as so insignificant that he looks upon himself as a coincidental product of natural forces will, at the end of his life, not be able to show any spiritual advancement, he will be in the same state as at the beginning of his embodiment as a human being or have even descended lower still, for he will still harbour the same opposition against Me which once motivated his apostasy from Me .... And I will not forcibly break this opposition, yet he will have to suffer for an infinitely long time until, one day, he relinquishes this opposition by himself and returns to Me again ....

Amen

Meaning and protection of divine revelations ....

B.D. 8638 from October 7th 1963, taken from Book No. 91

Even the deepest problems can be solved for you if you only submit them to Me Myself. I Myself am light, and again and again the light will shine through the darkness. But since you are creatures with free will, you must declare yourselves willing to receive the light, because against your will I do not send it to you. But then there is nothing about which you cannot receive enlightenment .... And so I also want to tell you that nothing happens haphazardly from Me, that I always pursue a certain purpose, whatever may happen. You yourselves often cannot fathom what causes Me to My work, because you lack the overview, and that is why questioning thoughts move you, which only I alone can answer for you: Once men on earth are completely wrongly guided in their thinking, when the whole complex of thoughts has become one single error, when no more understanding is to be found for the rule and work of a God and creator, then the whole earth is an area, which is completely shrouded in darkness. And then also no man finds his way anymore in this darkness, and the whole earth walk of a man has as it were become purposeless. I alone now know what it means when a complete standstill has occurred in the healing or return process of all spiritual, which is bound on earth and in the earth creations. Therefore a change must now be created; everything created by Me must again be supplied to its right purpose, and that means that the legal order must be restored, which alone secures a continuation of the ascent development. To this belongs first that mankind is enlightened about the error in which it moves. Because I Myself must take care of mankind walking in darkness by Me letting a light shine into it, which is to make men happy. The light of truth has to shine down to earth; every error has to be corrected; the goings-on of My opponent have to be pointed out as well as his mention has to be made, who can lead men out of every spiritual trouble: Jesus Christ, the divine redeemer .... Everything must be done to fight against error and to displace it through pure truth .... in short, everything negative must be overruled through positive activity and thereby the possibility created for the human being to become free from the adversary's control and thus to successfully end his course of development .... This intention underlies My unusual work of supplying you humans with a light from above .... And I can also give you the assurance that this light will assert itself, that its ray is so bright that it penetrates the darkness, especially then when the time until the end is only still short .... What once has reached earth as direct emanation of My divine light of love will also enjoy My unusual protection, it is a 'spiritual' asset which is indestructible insofar as that even the material form of it will be protected by spiritual forces when earthly destruction has become unavoidable .... which, however, only ever applies to spiritual assets received directly from Me. For just as the supply from above is a purely spiritual process, just as My divine power is expressed in this supply, so too will divine power express itself when it is necessary to protect the spiritual results, the evidence of My divine working .... Therefore do not worry about it; I know it that and when spiritual material is needed, which took its start directly from Me. I also know what is still to come for all of you men. But I can protect every single one of you when I see a blessing for fellowmen out of it. In the chaos, which you men face, unusual individual fates will not touch you particularly, therefore also mean no compulsion of faith, and therefore I can also accomplish miracles, which you do not think possible. But your whole earthly life is only the result of spiritual processes; your world is an illusory world, but the spiritual kingdom is the only real world, and what is inconceivable to you men on earth is simply a matter of course in the spiritual world, and the light beings are full of power and therefore can accomplish everything, because then they always just carry out My will. And thus they also protectively place themselves behind the spiritual knowledge which originated from Me, and they will know how to guide it to where it is needed again, so that people will be taught by 'God Himself' and therefore also be in possession of the truth when the darkness has been taken from earth, when people walk in bright light of realization and can also hear or read My direct address at any time, which will always and forever remain the same ...._>Amen

Free will .... recognizing good and evil .... love spark ....

B.D. 8639 from October 8th 1963, taken from Book No. 91

The whole earth existence as man has only one purpose, to bring the still imperfect spiritual, which is in a bodily cover as soul, to the last perfection. And that is why the whole walk of life is to be so directed that it corresponds to the principle of divine order: Man is to always only think and want well; he is to always only carry out good actions, i.e., all thinking, wanting and acting is to be carried by love. For man, since he has free will, can use it in any direction. He can lead a good as well as a bad way of life, and he will not be able to be forced in any way. Every man also has within himself the sense of good and evil, because he has a silent admonisher within him .... the voice of conscience .... and because he feels the effect of good and evil actions on himself, beneficent or sorrowful .... And therefore it is also said: Love you neighbour as yourselves, do to him the same thing that makes you happy, and do him no harm, because you also will not be harmed yourselves. Every man knows how to distinguish between good and evil, if only he is honest with himself. But if he has an evil will, then he also seeks to pervert the law of order, then he denies even the sense of good and evil. But then he only lies to himself, and he will never be able to maintain this assertion before himself. As soon as man lacks all sense of responsibility, his whole way of life is only a lie against himself .... he does not want to be good because he is still firmly chained to God's adversary, but he also knows himself that he is bad, even if he does not want to admit this to his fellow human beings and falls into ever deeper sins .... A person who lacks the conscious feeling for good and evil could not one day be called to account for his conduct on earth .... But it is always only his free will how he leads his way of life, and for this he has to answer. If he himself is wronged, then he will also rebel against it. So he knows about right and wrong .... But the adversary is able to dull his feeling so that he is finally only a blind tool for him, that he lets himself be used completely without will for all bad actions and then he already becomes a devil, although he still walks the earth as man .... But his soul is completely dominated by the enemy, by him who seeks to snatch all souls into ruin. That no other fate can be granted to such souls than renewed banishment in solid matter will then also be understandable to you men who make an effort to live in divine order. Every man can reach perfection on earth, but his will alone is decisive, whether he seeks support in weakness of will and asks for strengthening, whether he has the desire in him to live right and justly .... Then every possible help will be given to him. And this desire could be in every man, because God leaves out no-one, to whom He {not} offers His favours, which however must also be voluntarily accepted and evaluated .... And man himself determines this. But it is wrong to think that a man would be completely incapable of reaching his aim on earth because he is "unusually" burdened with weaknesses and dispositions .... According to these is also the supply of grace, and also particularly burdened men will come into situations in life where they can think and devote themselves to their God and creator .... That they do not do it is again due to free will, but that they can do it cannot be denied, otherwise God would have to be denied justice, wisdom and love, but He wrestles for every soul to win it for Himself, and therefore truly leaves no means untried to help it. But when the soul of a man gives ear to the opponent and closes its ears to Him Who truly loves it, then it is also pulled down by the opponent, and it does not resist, but is in bondage to him in everything, and that also means that it again completely falls prey to him and again remains his belonging for endless long time. Because you men must not forget one thing that the divine love spark is associated with every man at the beginning of the embodiment on earth, that this therefore only needs to be ignited and the danger of a fall into the deep is thereby eliminated. Every man can be active in love, but whether he is willing to love, that is up to him, however decides the success of earth life and his further fate, which can be happiness and bliss in the kingdom of light or also again banishment in hard matter, because otherwise the final aim cannot be reached, which God has set for Himself at the beginning ...._>Amen

What is meant by "faith" ....

B.D. 8640 from October 9th 1963, taken from Book No. 91

You humans are required to believe in something for which you lack evidence .... It is demanded of you that you should accept as truth what is communicated to you .... It is demanded of you that you also confess it yourselves. This is faith .... You therefore have to rely on the knowledge of the one who tries to impart his knowledge to you, and depending on his credibility you accept the knowledge. Earthly knowledge can now indeed be substantiated by evidence, and yet it is possible that such evidence is not accessible to you humans .... but you will nevertheless be convinced of the truth if you have complete faith in the one who imparts the knowledge to you. Such faith is nothing strange; it is simply a trust that the fellow human being is correctly informed and that what he imparts can be accepted without hesitation. But it is different with spiritual knowledge, for which proofs are not to be brought. Then it is up to you yourselves whether you trust the mediator of spiritual knowledge so much that you accept without hesitation that you therefore believe what he tells you. And you know that every person can err, that only on the part of God all error is excluded. How then should you procure for yourselves the inner conviction of the truth of what you are to believe? Because only a convinced faith is of value. Proofs cannot be produced, and the man who imparts knowledge to you can just as well impart an erroneous spiritual material to you, which you certainly do not contradict and therefore pretend a 'faith' outwardly, but which cannot be called faith as long as man lacks the inner conviction. And man can again only get this inner conviction from God Himself, from Him, Who knows about everything and Who also wants to give His creatures a light, so that they find their way out of darkness of spirit. Therefore man must turn to God in thoughts or in prayer, who wants to win a convinced faith. But man again only goes to God who inwardly confesses Him, who feels connected to him and who is therefore inwardly connected to Him because he lives in love. No man will have a living faith, which is without love .... Because the intellect will not be able to give him conviction, because spiritual areas, spiritual knowledge, cannot be fathomed with the intellect. Man will never reach spiritual knowledge intellectually. The intellect can well think through the knowledge received through the heart and take a stand on it, and as soon as love fills a man, the intellect will also not resist it. Then it will accept spiritual knowledge undoubtedly, also when it is offered to it on the part of a fellowman, because love in man gives it the light of recognition. One thing let it be said to you that there is no living faith without love, that intellect cannot replace love when it is about pure spiritual knowledge .... that on the other hand earthly knowledge, for which the proofs are only inaccessible to man, can be accepted believingly by intellect, as soon as the teacher seems to be credible to him. But there is no evidence for spiritual knowledge, and yet faith in it can become conviction in the human being, yet only ever when the human being, through a life of love, attains knowledge which is conveyed to him by God Himself through the spirit .... Then this 'working of the spirit in man' is proof enough, and then it can certainly also be spoken of a 'faith', and still it is no dead faith, but it has become alive through love, and convinced the man now represents that, what cannot be substantiated through proof. But when (now a) man has fullest trust and confidence in him who teaches him, also about spiritual knowledge, then he will also be able to believe; he will accept unchecked when he himself leads a love life, and he will build up on the spiritual knowledge imparted to him, i.e. always base his walk of life on the knowledge and make the will of God his own, which he gets to know through spiritual knowledge. And if he lives according to God's will then it will also become light in him, and he will learn to differentiate truth from error, he will also become knowledgeable and win a living, i.e. convinced faith ...._>Amen

Indication of the adversary's activity .... (Speaking in tongues)

B.D. 8641 from October 10th 1963, taken from Book No. 91

You should believe that My adversary will try anything in order to overrule Me, to undermine My activity, to prevent you humans from hearing My Word which signifies light for you in the darkness. And he will always find people complying with his will; he will try to beguile them into believing that they are being of service to Me Myself, and yet they are his servants. He has already largely succeeded in confusing people by igniting deceptive lights for them, so that they believe themselves to be standing in the radiance of light, yet they are far removed from the light of truth. I cannot forcibly eliminate his activity because the human being must make his own decision as to whether he listens to him or to Me .... However, as soon as he has the serious will to know the truth he will also be able to recognise it. No person would ever reject My Word from above were he in heartfelt contact with Me and desired the pure truth from Me .... Yet as soon as he is indifferent or fanatically holds on to spiritual information of unknown origin, he will not be able to recognise the truth and spread his own spiritual knowledge. If he then wants absolute clarity, he must first of all be serious about it, he must appeal to Me Myself for protection from all deception by the adversary .... And I will protect him and grant him light .... he can be assured of that. I know what methods My adversary is using and that people are therefore in great danger of falling prey to his temptations. And yet I can only provide them with obvious help when I recognise their will to be of service to Me and the truth .... Then the adversary's power will be broken. He will no longer succeed in applying his artful deceptions, for then he will always be recognised as the one he is .... My adversary has many opportunities to work against Me, for he presents himself in the garment of an angel of light, he does not shy away from using My name and causing immense confusion among people. The pure truth exposes his activity and everyone who knows this truth will recognise him, providing he is of good will. Therefore, you humans bear a great responsibility, because it is you who allow his working, you could just as well prevent his activity if you seriously wanted to escape his power and his influence .... For I will always support this serious will by giving you strength to put it into action. It is always just a certain indifference which allows him to influence you. And if you want to liberate yourselves, then he will often use stronger methods to keep you enthralled: by trying to confound you through unusual phenomena. But then take notice: His activity will not grant you clear light; instead, it will always produce incomprehensible results whose mystic character will baffle you, thus they will seem supernatural, yet they are basically merely unpleasant deceptions from which you derive no gain whatsoever. Can you receive greater clarification than through My Word? For it is comprehensible to everyone and only requires good will in order to be felt by you as 'light'? As soon as something is incomprehensible to you, reject it, for I, your Father of eternity, will always speak to My children such that they can understand Me, but not in a way that you become even more confused than before ....

Where My spirit expresses itself, there shines brightest light .... where My adversary's spirit is active, you will always be drawn into profound darkness, by this alone you already know what you should make of experiences which all belong to the manifestations of the end, when My adversary will try anything in order to win people over for him. Therefore beware and don't lose yourselves to him, for as soon as you sincerely appeal for My protection you belong to Me and against Me he cannot win ....

Amen

(Received after debate on intercession) "speaking in tongues" ....

B.D. 8642 from October 12th 1963, taken from Book No. 91

You always only need to request a light from Me, and I will also enlighten you, because it is My will that you walk in fullest truth, who are to serve Me as bearers of light and truth. Believe Me that only from Me the right truth can flow towards you, and therefore always only firmly hold on to Me, Who am eternal truth. Again and again I emphasize that the whole of mankind walks along in darkness, that error has crept in and taken root everywhere and that men can only free themselves with difficulty because they are too deeply entangled in error. Everywhere I want to light the light of truth where only men are willing to serve Me and to live in My will. But who does not completely free himself from adopted spiritual good, who is not able to break away from error and therefore cannot because the desire for the sole truth out of Me does not fill him to such an extent that he would recognize what contradicts this My truth .... He will also inwardly resist when pure truth out of Me is offered to him. For in the course of time you humans have erected an edifice of faith for yourselves which has many flaws, and you do not recognize them because there is a certain spiritual arrogance in you which prevents you from deeply and humbly asking for pure truth. And even if I let a bearer of truth step into your path who can give you enlightenment you try to impose your misguided spiritual knowledge on him again and don't recognize his mission. And again you believe to be of service to Me .... But I instruct My bearers of light to spread the spiritual knowledge which they received from Me Myself and not to accept anything which deviates from it, because a teaching which contradicts it can never have originated from Me .... And you represent a false doctrine, which you try to prevent people from interceding for the souls of the deceased .... Let it be said to you that you mislead people and prevent them from carrying out a work of love if you only impose the slightest restriction on them in their intercession for poor souls .... I truly do not contradict Myself, and I will not impart this teaching to one and that to another .... And if you believe that you have to take the book of the books (fathers) as your guide, then I will tell you that you misunderstand many things, that your interpretation does not always correspond to the truth, that you have adopted concepts which completely deviate from the truth .... I want to tell you that you cannot gain much spiritually as long as you do not fully stand in truth, even if you believe to be called to unusual work. Fullest truth is basic condition for beneficial work among men. And you do not yet possess this as long as you spread such opinions, which contradict My love and wisdom .... as long as you find yourselves in situations which you pretend to be, which are likewise no signs of divine activity, which never give light but only confuse, for your God and father will not express Himself to you humans in such a way that you cannot understand Him, instead you first have to unravel it and this is again only your own intellectual knowledge but never My word. Do not impute such work to Me for you, which neither testifies to My love nor My wisdom, but know that I will always express Myself so that everyone can understand Me and feels addressed by Me. People are not to be plunged into even greater confusion, for the darkness is already deep enough than that it should still be intensified. And when I bring you together with bearers of light, then accept the light and seriously consider what you are well able to give, you who still make use of such outer forms, because you do not know what is to be understood by 'spiritual gifts', because you adopted customs, which are senseless and have no value at all for the maturing of the souls of those who listen to you (speaking in tongues). All abilities shall certainly be revived in you, which you had given away through your sin-fall .... But then you must first recognize the one truth, and then you will not spread false doctrines; you will not demand of men the opposite of that what I Myself demand of them: that they take care of the deceased in love, that they give power through their intercession to the souls, which are completely powerless and depend on help on the part of men and the light beings in the kingdom on the other side. As long as you spread such false doctrine, you yourselves have not yet penetrated into truth and therefore can also not teach your fellowmen. But I still seek to guide the light of truth everywhere, and I will also provide My light bearers at any time with the power to pass on this light; I will do everything to take action against error, because error can never have a beneficial effect, because it is a means of My opponent, who will fight against truth until the end. But truth will be victorious, for I am truth Myself, and the light of truth will shine brightly into the darkness, it will make My adversary's activity visible, it will expose and refute every misguided teaching, and the truth will enlighten every person of good will ...._>Amen

Explanation about baptism with water ....

B.D. 8643 from October 13th 1963, taken from Book No. 91

You still do not understand the spiritual meaning of My Word .... you interpret the letters intellectually and therefore cannot get the correct results. You cannot understand what I wanted to say when I told My disciples ‘Baptise them in the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Ghost.’ By ‘baptism’ you only ever understand the immersion in water .... an external formality performed by people to demonstrate their obedience to the commandment of baptism .... which, however, is and always was merely an accompanying formality but it does not affect the real core of My commandment. Baptism with water as such does not actually effect a transformation of the person, as you humans will have to admit .... Only the contribution of what emanates from the Father, the Son and the spirit .... which proves the Father’s love, the Son’s wisdom and the spirit’s strength .... can cause a change in the human being and is the true baptism, which every person must have received in order to reach his goal on earth: to perfect himself in order to be eternally united with Me.

The Father .... love .... is an eternal fire which emanates the light of wisdom .... the Son, and the strength of the spirit has to express itself as a result. The human being .... as a weak creature, has to be so permeated by love and wisdom that he in turn attains strength and freedom himself once again. He has to be permeated by My spirit, hence love, wisdom and spiritual strength have to characterise him as a divine living being which has returned to perfection. The human being has to immerse himself in the sea of My love, he has to be guided into truth, which will always come about by way of My will, My strength and My greater than great love.

Baptise them in the name of the Father .... be kind when you give them My Word which is wisdom, and thereby enable the working of the spirit in the human being, which presumes an activity of love, because the manifestation of My spirit is the gift of My love which expresses itself in the conveyance of wisdom .... of truthful knowledge .... Love, wisdom and strength .... they have to be truthfully clarified to you humans, and this clarification is a true baptism of spirit which cannot be replaced by an immersion in water.

Try to understand that you humans should not adhere to external formalities .... try to understand that I truly do not demand outward appearances from you but only ever evaluate what is done in spirit and in truth. And if you now, as evidence of your correct thinking, refer to My baptism by John in the river Jordan, then remember that people knew very little about Me in those days, that outward actions meant a lot to them then, and that every person needed a certain degree of maturity first in order to explain to him the spiritual meaning of baptism. Besides, by their willingness to be baptised by John people proved their desire to come closer to their God and Creator, and in those days this was indeed a substantial spiritual gain. And thus I, too, submitted Myself to this formality in order to legitimise the actions of My forerunner John. It would have been futile to explain the unimportance of this external action to people because they would have been unable to comprehend the pure spiritual truth. The baptism with water caused them no harm, but would only be beneficial to them when they also accepted the Word of God, which John passed on to them ....

And therefore the human being today will also receive ‘baptism’ when he accepts My Word, which is conveyed to him by My infinite Fatherly love, and lives accordingly and thereby finds wisdom .... as a result of love .... which awakens and activates My spirit of light and strength inside of him .... However, all this cannot be replaced by baptism with water, the latter will always remain a symbol, an external formality from which people do not want to part because they try to demonstrate everything outwardly and are not content with the value of purely spiritual experiences.

I can only ever repeat that all external actions and customs are of no benefit, that I will never judge a person by his outward action but solely by his inner attitude towards Me and My Word. As soon as a human being accepts My Word, acknowledges it and lives accordingly he will perfect himself while still on earth, because My Word is the water of life which comes forth from the source of all being. And in this water you should immerse yourselves, this water will flow from your body and you will experience the spiritual baptism when the spirit within you awakens to life, when you are permeated by love, wisdom and strength and you once again become the original being you once were, when by the water of life you achieve eternal life which you will never lose again ....

Amen

Why do people so easily fall prey to error? .... Truth ....

B.D. 8644 from October 14th 1963, taken from Book No. 91

It is indeed difficult for you, My servants on earth, to assert yourselves against misconceptions, for everything that comes from the adversary will also be endorsed by him, and he will support those who are of service to him in every way by spreading error and plunging people into ever greater darkness. His worst action, however, rests in the fact that he makes them believe that they are working for Me. And thus you will also understand when it is said that he will appear in the garment of an angel of light, and you will equally understand that truth and error are often close together .... that the same seemingly takes place and yet it is entirely the opposite, concerning its content as well as its effect. And you will raise the question as to why I allow this to happen, since I, after all, love My living creations and would like to lead them into beatitude .... You will raise the objection that all human beings strive for happiness and yet can be misled by the adversary and the enemy of their souls. And again, there is only one answer to this, namely, that every person need only establish heartfelt contact with Me and sincerely appeal to Me to protect him from error .... Then he would also brightly and clearly recognise the error .... But what causes the adversary to have such a large following .... why do people allow themselves to be caught up in a misconception without opposing it? They are indifferent to the truth, they don't deliberate enough on what their fellow human beings tell them, they don't have the desire for the bright light of realisation to be kindled in them .... And this is because their nature is not yet controlled by love, because they are still too attached to the world and fail to live up to My commandments of love for God and their neighbour, otherwise they would be brightly enlightened and permeated by the desire for truth. They certainly acknowledge the fact that people are required to lead a spiritual life and therefore join this or that school of thought, they allow leaders to push them into this or that direction of thought and do not sufficiently reflect on it themselves because they have not yet found a heartfelt bond with Me which is the result of a life of love ....

The whole explanation only rests in the individual person's degree of love as to whether and why the human being falls prey to error. Equally, however, the person whose way of life is a life of love will just as surely know the truth .... And I can only convey the pure truth to earth by way of actively loving people, so that it is always possible to gain possession of the truth, because this is guaranteed by the love within a person's heart. And this, too, is known by My adversary, consequently he tries to distort the concept of love .... He stops people from correctly realising what they should do in order to gain My love .... He stops people from carrying out unselfish deeds of love and thereby also from attaining inner enlightenment. He will always know how to nourish a person's selfish love, and for that time the latter will remain in spiritual darkness and think wrongly, for he will be receptive to many currents of thought which originate from the adversary. The human being, however, has free will .... If he seriously wants to know the truth it will also imparted to him with certainty .... However, if a person only relies on that which is supplied to him by another fellow human being without actually experiencing the burning desire to learn the pure truth from his God and Creator himself, then he will neither recognise error nor defend himself against it and My adversary will have succeeded in his work of increasing the darkness; this will become particularly evident at the end of an earthly period so as not to lose his followers who, however, would recognise his true nature and renounce him if they knew the truth. Everyone who reaches out with pleading hands in order to accept the truth from Me will also be able to receive it in abundance, and the truth will indeed make him very happy. Even so, I cannot prevent My adversary's activity since he is entitled to fight for his followers. And no matter how apprehensible his methods are .... the human being need not succumb to him because he always has strength at his disposal and because he need only turn to Me Myself in order to be protected from his influence. And truly, My Word is being conveyed to earth as a brightly shining light which can also be recognised by all people as truth .... However, anyone who is still so entrenched in selfish love will also be instilled by My adversary with the belief that he lives on earth as an elevated spirit, and this misguided point of view entails that the human being also keeps himself closed to every emanation of light which originates from Me directly. And yet the person believes to be of service to Me and is nevertheless not aware of My will which requires him to hand himself over to Me completely in order to then be permeated by Me with the light of truth, in order to enable Me Myself to address him, Who undeniably needs servants on earth but only those who have completely entered into My will and are therefore able to work on earth on My behalf ....

Amen

The vineyard labourers trust in divine guidance ....

B.D. 8645 from October 15th 1963, taken from Book No. 91

You can always rely on My guidance by merely placing yourselves under My protection and choosing Me as your guide. In that case you can rest assured that I will protect you from My adversary's every onslaught, that you will always receive the strength to resist him if he wants to tempt you, for once your will belongs to Me I Am also entitled to protect you from him, otherwise, however, I will not stop him because he, too, is fighting for the souls so as not to lose them. It is always the human being's own decision to whose power he entrusts himself .... Yet I will at all times assist the person who has found the path to Me. Then he will also be active in accordance with My will, for My influence consists of encouraging the human being to live a way of life which is pleasing to Me .... Then he will always feel inwardly impelled to do or not to do this or that and he can be certain of the fact that I Myself place this urge in him, that it is My expression which is felt by the heart of the human being who entrusts himself to Me. Similarly, I will place the right thoughts into your hearts, My servants on earth, when you work for Me in My vineyard, because this should also be done according to My instructions, even if it occasionally seems doubtful to you. As soon as you have offered your services to Me I will also assign your work to you and you can safely follow your inner inclination. Nothing happens thoughtlessly, I always pursue a specific plan or purpose, and you only ever accomplish what I would do Myself if I lived on this earth in the flesh .... Thus you represent Me, and you can believe that I place My will in you so that you seemingly act according to your own will, but that this resolve is always caused by Me because you voluntarily offer to work for Me. But not all people pay attention to the inner voice and therefore I cannot speak to them directly, nor can I speak so frankly to them that they will be convinced of being addressed by the Father Himself .... I must speak to people through mediators whose words they can either accept or reject, yet this is up to them on account of their freedom of will. Nevertheless, no human being shall go without My merciful care, I look after everyone and show them the right path when they go astray .... For this reason I inform them through My messengers of the right path which they, in their spiritual darkness, often can't find or take a path which leads them astray because it is illuminated by the deceptive lights My adversary has ignited in order to mislead people who want to reach higher spheres .... But as soon as these call upon Me Myself and appeal for My protection and guidance they are already on the right path and I will send My messengers to meet them in order to assist with their ascent to Me. Nevertheless, My protection and guidance are only rarely called upon, people believe they have enough strength and light at their disposal and that they will then also be receptive to My adversary's influence who knows how to present them with flowery paths and to conjure up the most attractive regions which, however, will infallibly end up in darkness .... and thus the human being has not ascended at all but walked down into the abyss. Only the person who voluntarily entrusts himself to My guidance can travel his earthly path without worrying, for he will reach the goal .... He has handed himself over to Me of his own free will, and I will indeed be his final goal, he will join Me, the One he always intended to reach .... I only want you to voluntarily give Me the right to guide you through your life on earth, then you will never need to fear going astray or failing, for then you will also always do what is right before My eyes, because this will is in you once you have accepted My will and given up your own will .... in that case the adversary will have no more power over you because you will resist his temptations, you will remain faithful to Me and I will always grant you My protection ....

Amen

The gospel of love must be proclaimed ....

B.D. 8646 from October 16th 1963, taken from Book No. 91

When the gospel of love is preached to you then you know that it is Me Myself on whose behalf My messengers offer to you what is exceedingly important if you want to reach soul maturity still on earth. Then I will address you Myself through the mouth of a human being, for I want to impress upon you the importance of fulfilling My commandments of love; I want to induce you to change your selfish love into unselfish neighbourly love .... I want to encourage you to unite with Me Myself, for I am love, and every work of love unites you with Me, with every work of love you tie Me Myself to you, and therefore you can only take on your original nature again through loving activity, since you were emanated by Me as pure love and were perfect .... Only love brings about this change back. And this is your only earth life task, to form your nature again to love. And that is why I have to preach to you again and again My divine love teaching; I have to make use of the mouth of My servants on earth to preach to you the gospel, which demands from you fulfilment of My love commandments. Your nature is still too much filled with self-love; every person thinks too much of himself and does not respect his fellow human being who needs his help in spiritual or earthly adversity .... and he is not aware of the fact that every day is lived in vain where a work of love could not help his soul to mature .... And that is why he has to be pointed to it again and again; I have to send My messengers to him again and again, which remind him to take care of the neighbour unselfishly, to put his own ego aside and to always only practice love, which alone helps him to perfection .... But he is also to receive a right, truthful enlightenment about the meaning of My love commandments; he is to know about the effect of a right love life and about the severe consequences of a way of life without love .... The reason for his being human is always to be explained in all truth, which was the rejection of My love and the transformation of the original being into unkindness; he is to know what love itself is .... that it is My fundamental nature, that it is also the original substance of every single created being and that without love every being must be called highly imperfect, that perfection cannot be thought of without love .... that all beatitude, all light and all strength is dependent on love and that therefore the human being only walks across earth to shape his nature into love again if he wants to be eternally happy .... Where therefore the gospel of love is preached to you men, there you hear Me Myself, because I stand behind everyone who teaches love, and he then only expresses what I Myself would say, if I would stay in the midst of you and teach you. But I always have to make use of a man to force no man to believe, because also love must remain completely free despite the commandment, because a forced love is no love and therefore also draws no blessing after it. Deep in the heart the divine spark must be ignited, which I have placed into you, so that you are able to love at all, because you gave away this ability in free will when you rejected every illumination of love from Me .... You were completely devoid of all love, and you would never ever be able to reach perfection on earth if My merciful love had not provided you with a tiny spark which you only need to ignite, which can flare up brightly in you and burn into a mighty fire .... And this is the aim which you are to reach: that you are again filled with love power and afterwards become again divine beings, which you were in the beginning. But at the beginning of your embodiment you lack all knowledge about your original state, your apostasy from Me and your earth assignment. And that is why again and again the gospel of love is preached to you; that is why you are also again and again fatefully stimulated to love work. Your life will take place so that you can always practice unselfish love, and your will is always only to be prepared to use every opportunity where you can be active in love. Because your life in eternity depends on it. Only the soul, which shapes itself to love, can stay in nearness to God .... Only love brings about the union with Me, the eternal love, and only love gives you back again all qualities and abilities, which belong to perfection and which you once voluntarily gave away when you gave up your love to Me and therefore hardened in your substance .... You must again become love; you must again accept your original nature, otherwise you cannot become happy in eternity. And because you did not know this at the beginning of your embodiment as a result of your lack of love, which is also lack of light, My commandments of love are repeatedly brought to you, on the fulfilment of which your beatitude depends .... For only through love will you unite with Me again, and you will be perfect again as you were in the beginning ...._>Amen

Forgiveness through Jesus Christ .... increase of the degree of love ....

B.D. 8647 from October 17th 1963, taken from Book No. 91

If you openly confess Me in Jesus, then you also belong to Mine, over whom I watch and whom I protect on all their ways. If you have accepted Jesus as divine redeemer then you will also have turned to Me Myself again, Who became man in Jesus. And since Jesus has atoned for your original sin through His crucifixion and you acknowledge Me again as your God and creator, you now also return to Me again, your free will has become active, which completely hands itself over to Me and which has subordinated itself to Mine .... And you belong to Me .... the release from My opponent is accomplished because Jesus Christ has ransomed you from him with His life, because He has redeemed your sin guilt with His blood. And anyone who has become Mine can now also fearlessly end his earthly life, he will no longer fall prey to My adversary, for his power has been broken through Jesus death on the cross. I Myself have won over him in a man, Who was so filled with love that He won the superiority over the opponent, who is powerless against love. What man now has to endure on earth are only purification means of his soul, which is to purify itself, so that it can be radiated through with light to a high degree, when it enters the kingdom on the other side. The original sin is therefore redeemed through the acknowledgement of Jesus and the request for forgiveness. But the soul still has to work on itself to reach the highest perfection, because through the endless long separation from Me, its God and creator, it had stepped out of its state of perfection, it had become a completely love-less being, which has indeed reached a certain degree of maturity again through service in the state of compulsion, which however has to consciously acquire the illumination of love from Me again in earth life, which has to consciously increase its degree of love through its own love activity in free will .... And this degree of love can still be low, and that is man's work on his soul to increase it, through which the soul becomes crystal clear and can now receive stronger and stronger light radiation. You therefore have to make a distinction between 'forgiveness of your guilt of sin' and 'perfection of your soul', which every person can achieve himself on earth precisely through conscious activity of love .... The forgiveness of sins is given to you through Jesus' work of mercy, but love must be kindled by the human being himself and flare up into the brightest flame, and that is why a soul which has found Jesus can certainly enter the kingdom of light because He has redeemed its guilt of sin .... but the degree of light can be completely different. And that is why the human being must make good use of his earthly life for works of love in order to increase his degree of love (light), and the more blissful he will be after the death of his body .... Love and suffering bring about the purification of a soul; love and suffering earn it an ever higher degree of light, and that is why you are also to bless suffering, because it is an effective aid, which brings you to maturity. People who have not yet found Jesus also often have to suffer, and then their gaze is to be turned towards Him Who took upon Himself the greatest suffering voluntarily and out of love for people whom He knew to be in greatest spiritual hardship and wanted to help them. For the thought of Him will once arise in every person who knows about Him, especially in great suffering .... but whether the thoughts are accepted is again determined by the free will of man, and that is why such thought waves can also be rejected. And the soul remains further in greatest trouble. And again, people who reject the divine redeemer Jesus Christ will also perform few works of love because love would already earn them a brighter degree of knowledge and they would then not be open opponents of the divine redeemer .... Because those men are influenced by the opponent and also prevent them from love work. And still opportunity enough is offered to all where they could practise love. But the acknowledgment of Jesus and therefore the acknowledgment of Myself .... earns every person increased strength, for I take care of all those who want to return to Me, which proves their acknowledgement of Me Myself in Jesus. I truly leave no man without help, without protection and without power, because I am infinitely much concerned about the return of every single soul, and what can be done for its rescue out of the fetters of dark power, that will truly not be omitted .... For My love pursues all My creatures who once voluntarily departed from Me, and My love was the cause that I Myself accomplished the work of salvation in the man Jesus, for this love was embodied in the man Jesus .... The eternal deity Itself had ascended to earth, It completely filled the man Jesus and accomplished the greatest work of mercy in Him for the sake of people who languished in the adversary's fetters and were unable to release themselves from him .... He loosed those bonds, He laid down His life to restore life to those who had fallen .... to those who had perished .... He has redeemed the great guilt that was the cause of your being on this earth. And He has cleared the way for you again to your God and creator, to your father from eternity ...._>Amen

Answer to question about re-embodiment ....

B.D. 8648 from October 18th 1963, taken from Book No. 91

As long as you humans live on earth you are still imperfect, and this also means that your knowledge is still subject to limitations, that you cannot grasp everything .... Nevertheless, I instruct you according to your degree of maturity, and it is therefore up to you yourselves to increase your knowledge by increasing your degree of love, which will always be the measure of your maturity of soul. If you are full of love then you will also be able to see through everything clearly .... If you lack love then you will also lack understanding, even if you receive fullest enlightenment. For knowledge only then becomes realization when the spirit in you is awakened through love. But My direct address from above is to contribute to it that your will to love is strengthened, that you are to learn to recognize Me intellectually and then also love is ignited in you to Him, Who has created you .... And that is why I will also always fulfil your request to send you enlightenment so that you are able to recognize Me as loving father and return My love towards you with counter love. My plan of return is not unknown to you, and so you also know about it that every soul once has to start the course over earth, which then is the last stretch of way before the return into the kingdom on the other side. You also know that this walk on earth results in different success with different men and that this is the result of the free will of My creatures, which I will never touch because it is the characteristic of a divine creature. You further know that for this life as man a little spark of love is given to you, which only makes the change back to your original being possible for you, when you ignite this little spark of love in you and let it flare up to a bright flame. When a soul has covered the course through earth creation in bound will, that it has now reached the degree of maturity, which is the prerequisite for embodiment as man, then also the divine spark of love is associated with it, no matter where and in which stage of culture it comes into the world. And man himself has it in his hand to nourish this love spark or to completely stifle it in himself. The greater his inner resistance to the good, the divine, the more he will lag behind in his spiritual maturity. But the feeling for good and evil is present in every man, because he .... as I have often explained .... the execution of good and evil in himself and because he also has the silent admonisher, the voice of conscience, within himself. That he also can lack the concept in which measure he is to listen to the inner voice towards fellowmen is possible because his inner resistance against Me is still so strong and he therefore stands under the power of My opponent. And then his earth walk can hardly earn him the last maturity, and he will have to repeat it. But now the assumption of you men is wrong that he can return again to earth at will out of the kingdom on the other side and that it repeats itself so often until he once has reached the necessary maturity. For even in the kingdom of the beyond the soul will have the opportunity to develop upwards if it gives up its inner resistance .... But it can sink just as deeply into darkness, and endless times can pass if it does not accept the help offered to it to redeem it from hell .... Then it will be hardened more and more, and it will again have to pass through the passage of earth-creation .... And this can repeat itself more than once, and depending on how its inner resistance subsides, the embodiment as man will now also take place in such life situations where there is the most prospect to mature in an earth life. You all forget the many schooling stations which are ready in My creation for the reception of souls of all degrees of maturity .... When you are told that the soul of man enters the kingdom of the beyond, you do not yet quite understand what is to be understood by the latter: Everything outside of earthly life is "beyond." .... And all celestial bodies harbour spiritual substances in the most diverse degrees of development, where every soul can truly continue its course of development if it does not persist in its resistance so stubbornly that it does its mischief in uncreated spaces to its own torment. Also then it can once again come to its senses because My love and mercy gives up no soul and always gives every soul the possibility to come to a gleam of light and to carry out the change in itself by it giving up its resistance for the first time and being accessible to the instructions, which are also granted to it in the kingdom on the other side. And I truly also know the spiritual constitution of every soul; I also know about the maturing possibilities which are beneficial to every individual soul and which promise success .... But I never see these in a renewed earth course as man, in a transferring back of the soul to earth, if there are not very special reasons, which again only aim at the rescue of weak souls. I am not an unjust God, Who considers His creatures differently out of a whim and therefore not every man is offered the same possibilities. But time does not play a role with Me either .... I reach My aim .... However, I would never reach this aim through ever-repeated testimony as a human being on this earth, because there is one thing I cannot do out of My will: to force the human being's will so that he makes the right decision .... to induce the human being to have a rightly directed will through My power. His free will can fail again and again and the earth walk be in vain. Every soul lives its own life, and I know exactly about the successes, which it still can achieve, because I know its will. And accordingly I can and will shorten or lengthen the earth life of man .... I will call off prematurely where a relapse is to be feared, so as not to endanger the degree of maturity already reached, and I will give a high age to those where an increase of the degree of maturity or still a turning back to Me is evident, to make the course of development in the hereafter possible for the latter souls. But do not believe that the respective human state of culture has an influence on the development of the soul .... because a life of love is not dependent on outer things or on increased earthly knowledge, because it is at all times and everywhere about the ignition of the love spark in the heart, which however is independent of culture and custom, because it is a pure spiritual process in man when he ignites this love spark in him, and for this always the living together with other men and the divine creation surrounding him can stimulate him. Thus even the most primitive person will be able to increase his soul's maturity, especially if he is also given the knowledge of the divine redeemer Jesus Christ, which can still be imparted to him in the beyond if the soul is only of good will ...._>Amen

The source of all power is God ....

B.D. 8649 from October 19th 1963, taken from Book No. 91

As source of strength from eternity only strength flows out from Me into infinity .... There is no other being which disposes of power on its own authority unless the power has flowed to it from Me. And no being will eternally be able to put Me out of power because all beings are the products of My power, which My will put out of Me. And no matter how perfectly they were created, no matter how they shape themselves in free will to the highest perfection and become My children .... they will never be able to outdo Me Myself as the source of strength, they will never be able to prevent Me Myself from carrying out My will, because the strength to do so is always at My disposal .... And thus I will always and forever remain the lord of heaven and earth, the lord of the universe, to Whom everything that is is subject .... And whether it be hell .... the darkest power .... it will have to submit to My will and My strength, it will never be able to overrule Me, for even the prince of darkness first emerged from My strength, and he would have long since passed away had I completely withdrawn My strength from him, for he, too, is imperishable, thus he is held in place by My strength, otherwise he would have to perish. And so My power also secures the existence of everything what came out of Me, be it spiritual or earthly creations, because also the earthly creations are bearers of My power, and whether they also seem to be transient to you men and are also transient according to their outer form, so the spiritual power still remains, out of which they are formed, because also all matter is power, which has condensed itself to form. And so I am everything in everything .... And I will be until all eternity .... The power will never use itself up; it will not decrease, and whether also power constantly flows out of Me Myself as the eternal source of power and enlivens the entire spiritual and material creation and sustains it, it will never decrease; it will constantly let new creations arise. The number of first-created beings, which fell away from Me, is now endless, and eternities belong to it to again lead these fallen into the deep back to Me .... Therefore also innumerable redemption periods, innumerable creations of spiritual and material kind belong to it, which again requires constant power radiation out of Me .... But all creating belongs to My happiness, and it is also to increase the happiness of all created beings, which have again reached the degree of perfection that they can create and form themselves in free will. All these beings now draw power from Me, and this influx of power is their happiness, which is constantly increased through the use of power in the right will. And this flowing through of the beings with My power will have no end, therefore also the creating and being able to form will have no end, but always My endless love and wisdom will also determine the creative activity in the law of eternal order, and the perfect beings will also always be active according to this order. And whether also My opponent, who stepped out of this eternal order, seeks to wrongly direct the power also flowing through him and through this to create chaotic conditions, he will always only succeed to a certain degree .... But he will never be able to prevent Me from constantly letting new creations come into being which only have the one purpose of invalidating his negative work insofar as that these creations harbour that fallen spiritual which the adversary once tried to cause to misuse the strength flowing out from Me .... This wrongly used power is now bound in those creations and can no longer work against Me; it is also wrested from the influence of My opponent and is now compulsorily caused to serving functions, so that it again works according to divine order .... All power, which goes out from Me, irrevocably flows back again to the source of power, and this law also guarantees the safe return of all fallen spiritual (to Me) and even My opponent will once again take the way to Me .... The power, which once voluntarily departed from Me, which no longer wanted to operate according to the eternal order, will also return again to its source .... For although My adversary is to be addressed as the antipole and thus embodies the opposing force, this force is not stronger than I, for it, too, first originated with Me Myself as the eternal source of power, it is just that I allow every force emanated as a creature .... created being the freedom to use its strength according to its will. And even if this will is now directed wrongly, it will still no longer be able to counteract, as far as I do not allow it, because I alone am the lord, and everything created is subject to Me, and no matter how perfect it was put out of Me .... A fight against Me is unsuccessful and only contributes to the own weakening of the one fighting against Me .... But it causes Me to constantly work and create anew, because My power cannot rest, and it always wants to work in a happy way and therefore also form all created so that also these creatures find their happiness in the right use of the power continuously flowing towards them ...._>Amen

Address to vineyard workers ....

B.D. 8650 from October 20th 1963, taken from Book No. 91

Again and again I approach you with the assignment to spread My word, to bring light into darkness, to announce My gospel to all, whom I lead into the way. And when I give you this assignment then you can also be sure that I Myself bless your effort and support you in every activity, which you carry out for Me. And I also know in which way everything has to happen to be successful, both for fellowmen as well as for you .... I will direct your thoughts, and I will also remove all obstacles from your way, because I Myself want it that My word is supplied to men, which I Myself direct from above to earth .... And you can believe that everything is known to Me, that I know about the will of every single soul and therefore also about who will accept My word without resistance .... I also want to protect you from unsuccessful work, and that is why I will also put the right thoughts into your heart, which you always only need to pay attention to, which you then will also put into action according to My will. But often I also test the firmness of your will, whether you also do not let yourselves be frightened back by failures and still serve Me .... But you can also be assured that I am always with you with My help and that visible blessings flow to you, only you are not allowed to slacken in your striving, in your vineyard work, and you must constantly make an effort to prove your love to Me out of full heart, which drives you to work for Me. And you are to know that I need loyal servants in My vineyard because darkness is almost impenetrable and My light has to be carried into the night. Pure truth is hardly to be found anymore, on the other hand error is everywhere where My light does not shine from above to earth. Human thinking has supported error, and the intellect of man also no longer finds out of error alone. What once went out from Me in all perfection, when I Myself walked on earth and brought purest truth to men, that has been completely deformed and is still represented by men as truth, because they themselves are of darkened spirit and no longer able to distinguish truth from error. But only truth can lead men to perfection; error on the other hand will always hand them over more to My opponent, who himself does everything to darken the spirit of men, because he does not want to lose them and because truth brightly and clearly shows the way to Me, but which the opponent seeks to darken with all means to drive men towards the abyss. And people themselves, in all indifference, allow themselves to be pushed onto the wrong path by him if they are not constantly admonished and warned by messengers from above, if they do not allow themselves to be guided by those who know the right path .... And I Myself call My messengers and give them the assignment to guide their fellowmen, to give them a right light, to give them truthful instructions, which they have received from Me Myself. Believe it that I only therefore speak to you from above so that you yourselves are so convinced inwardly of truth that you represent it just as convinced to your fellowmen. Believe it that it is My will to bring truth to fellowmen, and that I will therefore also bless every effort, which applies to this vineyard work. And believe it that I know whether and when a man is receptive and when therefore spiritual material is to be supplied to him, and I truly carry out My will, by Me directing you so mentally and in work for Me that success will not fail to come. Because is there anything what would be impossible for Me? But everything also needs its time because I can also judge it best when man is ripe for My gifts of favour, which are to promote his soul maturity and are truly also suitable for it. However, present all your wishes and requests to Me and have a confidential conversation with Me, constantly ask for My blessing, ask for My protection from My adversary's activity, who will also do everything to undermine the work for Me and My kingdom .... But as soon as you entrust yourselves to Me and My protection, as soon as you hand over all your worries to Me, I will also bring all your endeavours to a good end, I will bless you and your work and you will carry out your assignment with success .... I Myself will guide all your steps, I will take you by the hand and you will walk the right path .... you will only want to be active for Me because you feel My presence. For you will receive strength from Me, and you will feel so intimately united with Me that you will be happy to be allowed to serve Me, because only then will you recognize your mission and faithfully want to fulfil it according to My will ...._>Amen

The true church of Christ ....

B.D. 8651 from October 21st 1963, taken from Book No. 91

Anyone who belongs to My church also has to have a living faith, a faith which came alive through love and thus enables the working of the spirit in the human being, which again is only the result of love. The members of My church will only ever consist of people who are so sincerely united with Me that they feel My presence, whose faith is consequently unwavering and cannot be shaken .... which stands firm like a rock against every onslaught from outside, on account of which I said to Peter ‘Upon you I will build My church ....’ For Peter’s faith was strong and unwavering, even though during one hour he did not pass the test of faith, since events precipitated and shook his confidence .... It was, however, more due to his intellect, which saw no way out from greatest danger, whereas his soul was pushed back and felt abandoned .... Yet after this test of faith his love for Me grew ever deeper and his faith strengthened, and such faith I also expect of those who want to belong to My church. Then they will no longer fall victim to My adversary and their enemy ....

A member of My church will always recognise the truth and renounce all error, because My spirit works in him as an indication that he is part of the church founded by Me .... And where My spirit works there can be no lack of clarity, no doubt and no confused concepts .... A member of My church will be enlightened and his thoughts will be correct ....

This church needs no external characteristics, it needs no organisations, because there are people in all ecclesiastical organisations with a living faith who thereby arouse the spirit within them, and they all affiliate themselves to the ‘Church of Christ’ which, in truth, is a purely spiritual connection of those who unite with Me through love, who do everything consciously and not as a meaningless external activity which is purely mechanically implemented.

You are meant to be living Christians, always conscious of the fact that you should fulfil the purpose of your earthly life, always eagerly striving to reach your goal, and always submitting yourselves to Me so that I Myself can assume your guidance, and then you will truly reach your goal. For I Am not satisfied that you only fulfil humanly decreed commandments which you were taught during your upbringing, which are pointless and do not result in psychological maturity .... As members of the church founded by Me Myself you will also always be My true successors, you will always humbly accept all suffering and hardship affecting you, because you recognise them as a test of faith which you should pass, and as a means of help to increase the maturity of your soul .... For this is what the spirit within tells you, and you will also understand the reasons of what I allow to happen to you.

You will live a second life next to your earthly one, a life in unity with Me, your God and Father of eternity, and this life will guarantee your perfection. Hence every person is able to attain this perfection, irrespective of the school of thought he belongs to, providing he always stays in a living relationship with Me and can thereby also be guided into truth .... which, however, always necessitates a life of love and a firm, living faith .... As long as you humans are lacking both you are just dead forms on this earth which eternally cannot come alive, for your external actions will not result in inner changes which, however, are the meaning and purpose of a human being’s earthly life.

Join the church which I Myself founded on earth, wake up from your sleep of death, bring the spirit in you to life by doing selfless deeds of love, and you will thereby also achieve a faith so unwavering that hell will fail to shake it .... And when you possess such faith you will be truly close to Me already, then you will feel My presence, then you will also regain the abilities that were yours before your apostasy from Me. You will become perfect again as you were in the beginning, and your life will be a happy one for all eternity ....

Amen

The magnitude of the original sin necessitates Salvation through Jesus Christ ....

B.D. 8652 from October 22nd 1963, taken from Book No. 91

If the knowledge of the infinitely long path of development, which you had to travel before your last embodiment as a human being, is given to you and you think about it, then you will also become aware of the tremendous guilt you had burdened yourselves with by your former apostasy from Me .... Because My sense of justice would certainly not let you endure an excess of suffering if you had not brought it on yourselves. Yet it is not an act of punishment on My part but once again only an act of My eternal love, because I want you to be joyful; however, I cannot give you a blissful life which conflicts with My law of eternal order while your frame of mind opposes Me .... which is the case due to your past antagonism towards Me. However, as human beings you cannot assess the magnitude of your guilt because your thoughts are only limited. Yet the beings which previously had fallen away had no such limitation of knowledge as you have as human beings .... instead they were perfect living creations who were fully enlightened. For that reason their guilt is so tremendous that it requires an act of atonement which could not even be achieved with the infinitely long path through creation. Rather, the greatest act of love and compassion had to be accomplished first by the man Jesus in order to make a final redemption of guilt possible which, however, also necessitates the acknowledgement of Jesus as Son of God and Saviour of the world ....

When you return to the realm of light from where you came you can judge the magnitude of guilt that an opposition to Me had meant. You will also understand that only by following the path through creation can you once again obtain the degree of maturity with which you can also comprehend and accept Jesus’ act of Salvation ....

As human beings, however, you cannot grasp the extent of the immense significance this act of Salvation has for you .... for each individual soul .... and you therefore have to ‘believe’ what you are told and accept the divine Saviour Jesus Christ without proof. Then you become free of your former guilt and once again place your trust in Me .... Who was incarnated in Jesus .... and at the same time voluntarily return to Him, Whom you once refused to acknowledge and Whom you resisted .... You humans certainly can be given complete clarification; however, you are not able to understand everything in your as yet imperfect state. Therefore it will always be an act of faith when you follow the path to the cross but it is also your only and certain salvation because Jesus Christ will then accept the guilt on your behalf, because He died on the cross for the sake of people’s sins, He took them upon Himself and redeemed them with His blood so that you would become free of sin .... And yet, this greatest and most important doctrine concerning the act of Salvation cannot be proven to you .... You have to believe it of your own free will and without any coercion .... And you are able to do so because I will never ask of you the impossible and because I will always help you to come to the right understanding.

However, one thing you should not omit or exclude: that you live a life of love .... because love is the strength which enables you to do everything, because through love you attain enlightenment, and because through love you unite with Me again and establish the condition prior to your fall into sin, when My light could continuously enlighten you. That way I can illuminate you as human beings, as soon as you practise love and voluntarily turn towards Me, no longer oppose Me and open up to Me so that the flow of My love can pour into you without restriction. But this is only possible after you have taken the way to the cross, so that you become free from the guilt of your sins, otherwise you will still suffer in the bonds of the adversary who will prevent you from doing actions of love and keep you in spiritual darkness because he does not want to lose you. Your guilt has been immense but it is redeemed by Jesus Christ Who now has become the visible God for you humans, providing you allow yourselves to be redeemed by Him, because you cannot ever remove your guilt yourselves. I, however, cannot admit you into My kingdom with your guilt because, although I Am in fact a God of love, I Am also a God of justice .... And this justice necessitates complete forgiveness of sins which you can only find in Jesus Christ, in Whom I Myself accomplished the act of Salvation ....

Amen

Diseases and cure ....

B.D. 8653 from October 23rd 1963, taken from Book No. 91

If you know the blessing of disease, if you know that disease contributes towards the soul's purification .... that disease aids your patience and humility to accept My will and you consequently no longer oppose My will .... if you accept that everything happening to you is recognised by Me as beneficial for you, then you will know that I also recognise the moment in time of your recovery ....

However, the fact that I will not cure you instantly is due to your freedom of will, for then you would be forced to believe in Me and My might, but you shall attain this faith without coercion .... Furthermore, you know that the purpose of earthly life consists of providing loving service .... Thus one will always have to work for the other if he wants to fulfil his helpful earthly task. And thus I will also bless the people who are always willing to help even where it concerns physical ailments and pains, and who are able to do so insofar as that they recognise the cause of an illness and the correct remedies to heal it. For depending on their helpfulness and their love for their weak and suffering fellow human beings they will indeed be successful. But in the final analysis every cure is based on My will which therefore imposes a limit on a human being's work when I recognise that the effect of a long illness is of value for the soul. My will determines a human being's destiny, thus it also includes diseases which the human will is unable to cure despite all applied treatments.

I will never condemn people's attempt to discover methods which are intended to help those who suffer .... For as long as loving helpfulness is the reason for all kinds of research My blessing will rest on it too .... If, however, the motive for producing such remedies is based on the acquisition of earthly possessions, they will generally be ineffective or damaging for the human body despite apparent improvement .... The most harmless remedies can equally suffice to result in a cure, because it is My will and I deem the moment of a cure to have arrived.

An illness shall primarily further the bond with Me, the human being shall take refuge in Me and appeal to Me Myself to be healed, then I will send people to cross your path who only want what is in your best interests, whose thoughts will be guided by Me if they are in contact with Me in thought or through a life of love in accordance with My will. But such healers are only rarely to be found, and therefore people more than ever use remedies which likewise originate from unblessed work .... And then neither the body nor the soul will be able to derive a cure from them because I Myself don't allow that the soul shall be helped against the human being's will .... so that he learns to turn away from the world because the body is no longer able to meet the demands of the world.

Thus you humans can always call upon the help of a physician, but the cure is determined by Me, however, I will often bless the efforts of the latter so that you will recover; yet you shall also derive from every illness a blessing for your soul, that you submit yourselves to Me and My will, that you patiently and gratefully bear the suffering, because it is greatly beneficial for your soul when you prove yourselves during an illness.

But with a rock-hard faith you will also be able to free yourselves from every ailment .... just as I Myself during My life on earth was able to heal people 'whose faith had made them whole ....' For nothing is impossible to Me and if your love is so profound that it brings forth a living, strong faith then you will not doubt My love and might for a second.

Then you can be instantly healed, because then this recovery will not be compulsory faith for you since you will possess an unshakable faith .... But which one of you can muster this strong faith? Who can use My might without doubt, who will give himself to Me so completely with the plea to heal him and is also convinced that his plea will be granted? Then any miracle can truly happen, be it on yourselves or on a fellow human being on whose behalf you voice this request in strong faith .... But anyone who is very sincerely united with Me has already completely accepted My will and lets Me rule and does not use his will in advance .... He will bear even the most difficult suffering with humility in My will and thus renders a far greater service to his soul than through the healing of the body .... But I will always work in you such that your fate will be endurable .... and when a human being has to suffer immense pain it also just expresses My love for his soul, which one day will be grateful to Me in the spiritual kingdom that it was able to dispose of many impurities on earth, that it was also permitted to remove guilt on earth enabling it to enter the spiritual kingdom far less burdened, which it could never have achieved with a healthy body ....

Amen

Everyone would be able to hear God speaking ....

B.D. 8654 from October 24th 1963, taken from Book No. 91

Just as I originally spoke to the beings having emerged from Me in order to reveal Myself to them as Creator and Father, so I speak today to you humans, who are these very beings .... The light of realisation you possessed in the beginning, because you were perfectly created, is no longer yours in your human state, for you once separated yourselves voluntarily from Me and therefore stepped out of the state of light into that of darkness .... But you are wretched in your darkened state and I want to help you become blissfully happy again and must therefore enlighten you again .... First I must speak to you and inform you of My will so that you as human beings can live according to this will of Mine. For the point is, that you will adapt yourselves to the law of eternal order again, that you will live according to My will, which requires you to fulfil the commandments of love .... Since, at the start of your earthly life, you are entirely without knowledge you need to be instructed about the meaning and purpose of your earthly life .... But you also need to be informed of the full truth, this is why I speak to you Myself as the eternal Father-Spirit by addressing the spiritual spark within yourselves, which conveys My Word to your intellect for you to think about it and thus, according to your will, either comply with it or oppose it once again. In the beginning, My Word made you very happy since you thereby recognised My love which time and again expressed itself in the Word. When you were no longer able to hear My Word, because you closed yourselves to My illumination of love, you also lost all knowledge and your state became dark and weak and therefore wretched.

However, if you, as a human being, become receptive to My illumination of love again, then you will be informed of My will which you only need to live up to so as to be spoken to by Me through the spiritual spark and thus, through My Word, receive the knowledge again which will make you happy because you enter the state of light again. My Word can always be heard within you if your will allows for it, for the connection between Me and you will forever remain on My part, only you yourselves can deliberately disconnect it by consciously turning away from Me .... Thus it will always be up to you as to whether you allow yourselves to be addressed by Me, but the possibility to hear Me Myself exists for every one of you humans, and every one should use it, for with My Word he also receives the strength to live his life on earth according to My will. Due to your vast distance from Me, which you aspired to of your own free will, you have lost the knowledge and understanding that you are able to communicate with your God and Father directly, that you can enter into a dialogue with Him, that He will answer your questions and that you can present all your thoughts to Him and communicate with Him at all times. And yet, if people inform you of it, you won't believe and ridicule them as fantasists and thereby you forfeit every gift of strength which is guaranteed to you by My Word. And only if you try it for yourselves, if you, after heartfelt prayer, quietly listen within, will the voice gently speak in you and you will be happy, for then you will be touched by My Fatherly love which wants to reveal itself in order to gain your love as well.

Yet only a few put this to the test, only a few desire My communication, and only a few believe that I Myself draw close to people in order to demonstrate the direct bond with them again, because they should recognise Me as their God and Father, Who is supremely perfect and also intends to guide people towards perfection. But this knowledge of My direct communication has to be accepted with faith, for it can only be effective if a person, through living a life of love, has gained the faith that the Father speaks to His child. Only then will he also be able to recognise the results of My Words as truth, and only then will his soul make use of them and advance in its development. However, you humans should always consider that My Words will always be more credible than a complete silence by your eternal Father .... For My fundamental nature is love, and you emerged from this love .... Love, however, always seeks to make contact with that which originated from it. This is why the sound of My Word will always be more credible than shrouding Myself in silence and never revealing Myself as a loving Father .... For My perfection would have to be doubted were I not to have mercy upon all My living creations who dwell in darkness, and this mercy therefore shows itself by the fact that I let a light shine into the darkness .... And this light is My Word which is conveyed to you from above, it is the emanation of My love which only requires an open heart in order to be able to take effect in you ....

Amen

Voluntary transformation of the creature into a child ....

B.D. 8655 from October 25th 1963, taken from Book No. 91

I will not give you up for ever, and that means that you will certainly return to Me once, because My love belongs to you, which never ever lets go of that what has come out of it. Once therefore you reach the aim, the last unification with Me and once I also reach My aim, which I have set for Myself with the creation of beings: that you have voluntarily changed yourselves out of My creatures to My children .... that you have become gods, which I could not create Myself, which the free will of the being itself had to form to it, i.e.., the beings had to remain in perfection although they could also assume an inverted nature .... or they had to voluntarily change themselves out of the inverted nature back to their original nature .... So the being could still turn away from Me so far, I however did not let it fall, I did not leave it to its self-chosen fate, but I pursued it with My love and created all possibilities to bring the being on its way back, which means as much as that I took over its guidance from the deep to the height and for the time being eliminated My opponent, who was to blame for the turning away of the spiritual from Me, that he could no longer exert influence on the beings, which once had followed him voluntarily. And I have often explained to you that this happened through the binding of all dissolved particles in matter, in the most diverse creations in the universe .... And as soon as this banishment of the spiritual has taken place, the way of return is entered and now leads upwards. All that is bound in creation is now still belonging to the adversary, and that is why it can also be said: The material creation is the kingdom of My opponent. Nevertheless the power over this bound spiritual is withdrawn from him, and he cannot hinder it in its ascent development, until it once is so far matured that it must cover the last stage as man, but is then again at the mercy of the power of My opponent. I must leave this freedom to it because you voluntarily chose him as your lord when you were to decide for Me or for him .... But again My love also pursues you during the whole earth life, because now we both fight for the soul of man, which is the once fallen original being, which is to return again completely to Me. He spends all his influence to determine man to acts of unkindness, while I again and again seek to stimulate him to a love life and also present its effect to him .... But man decides himself, and he cannot be forced from any side to it. But he has a father, Who loves His child, and therefore I will again and again reveal Myself to man, so that he learns to recognize Me and My nature and returns My love. Because then he certainly also turns away from My opponent, and then the return to the father has taken place, because love binds us together indissolubly. But then also the return into the spiritual kingdom must take place, because this kingdom is the only existing one, while earth as well as all visible creation is only an illusory world, which only exists for the still immature spiritual, which because of its immaturity cannot enter into the kingdom of light. into the only-existing world, and as long as the soul (also) still imagines itself in earthly material surroundings, {even} when it {the soul} has left the earthly body, until it has changed to love. Because this can also still happen in the hereafter as long as the gates to the spiritual kingdom are not closed. But the time is coming, and it is very close, when also this possibility will no longer be, to make up for in the kingdom on the other side what was neglected on earth .... The time is coming when the gates to eternity are closed for all souls, which still had the favour to be allowed to live until the end of this earth and to free themselves from the power of your (their) enemy. For by then a cleansing will have already taken place, a separation will have taken place from the goats and the sheep .... I will fetch the ones who are Mine to Me into a kingdom of peace, and they will be allowed to leave the earth in a living body because I have determined them to be the tribe of the new human race on the new earth .... But what does not belong to Mine, that will irrevocably go towards the new banishment, because for this spiritual there is no longer possibility in the kingdom on the other side to mature there further. It has reached such a low that also in the hereafter only a sinking could take place, which in the end would have to again lead to a new banishment. I also know about the state of the soul of all men before the end, and also hell is emptied, which holds so completely hardened souls that also these are banished anew in hard matter, because with them no ascent possibility is to be seen, but they once also have to again start the way back to Me, if the aim is to be reached. Every person, every once fallen soul, can know that it is loved by Me and is never left to itself. I also know what is useful for every single soul, but I leave it free will, and according to this also (its) fate will be decided when the end of this earth has come, because I do not tolerate a standstill in development, and that is why I also put an end to the work of My opponent, as soon as he seeks to stop the upward development. Then the end of a redemption period has come, and a new one has to start again, the order has to be restored in which all creatures have to move if they once want to reach the aim .... to the complete unification with Me ...._>Amen

God carries out his plan of Salvation ....

B.D. 8656 from October 26th 1963, taken from Book No. 91

You will never be able to prevent Me from implementing My eternal plan of Salvation. I have indeed said that you will be able to avert much from yourselves through heartfelt prayer, but My plan of Salvation is based on humanity's will which I recognised from the start and thus was also able to appoint the appropriate times when the great transformations will take place, and I will indeed adhere to these times. Due to his heartfelt prayer I can certainly avert occurrences from every individual person, I can guide every individual in a way that he will not be affected by the events which I allow to befall people if I want to achieve My purpose: to continue the process of return, which has come to a standstill .... Yet I have always predicted exceptional events to you, and these predictions will indeed fulfil themselves since they must fulfil themselves if the divine order is to be restored again. And I have truly known throughout eternity at what point the divine order will no longer be observed and have therefore always been able to refer to this time and mention the substantial upheavals which will irrevocably occur according to My announcements. But people will never believe these announcements undisputedly, for what is prophesied to them as shortly forthcoming surpasses human notions ....

They will certainly be able to recognise the course of world events, that a change will have to happen because people have reached the lowest point, as is clearly evidenced in their self-indulgence and an excessive craving for a good living standard, earthly commodities, honour and power .... Thus they would be able to recognise by the signs of the time that these announcements have a certain justification, which they ought to take seriously and then live their own life accordingly. But their unbelief is already too great for people to listen to such indications. They unreservedly live a purely earthly life and reject all thoughts of drastic change. And this is why humanity will be taken by surprise by a catastrophic natural event on a scale which has never been experienced on earth before, which will end many people's lives and lead to unprecedented chaos of huge proportions and mean immense misery for people. This is a last warning sign and shall therefore be constantly proclaimed to people .... My messengers shall draw people's attention to it so that they will recognise the truth when this event takes place, so that they will make good use of the last days before the soon-following end for the maturity of their souls. Admittedly, they will find little or no belief, and yet I keep instructing My messengers time and again to speak up wherever possible. People don't want to be disturbed in their lives of pleasure but they will get a sudden shock, and the forthcoming event can mean the end for any individual person, and he will be not be able to take his material possessions across with him. And this is what he shall always bear in mind, for even if he is usually not willing to believe he nevertheless knows that he cannot prolong his physical life by even one day because the hour of his death is predetermined, and he knows that one day his end will come and that this can happen at any day, that he will have to leave everything behind which amounts to the purpose of his life. And therefore he should not value earthly goods so highly but procure himself possessions for eternity .... And he would only be acting intelligently, whereas a purely earthly life is no sign of prudence but only attests to confused thinking ....

My plan of eternity, however, will be carried out and the day I have set for Myself will be adhered to, because the human generation no longer fulfils its earthly task and will therefore be devoured by the earth with the exception of those who have recognised Me, who believe in Me and remain loyal to Me until the end .... For the earth must continue to serve its purpose as a place of education for the spiritual substances which are on the path of return to Me .... And this is why the great work of transformation cannot be omitted and everything has come to pass as I always predicted, because I don't leave people without warning and offer everyone still enough opportunities to find Me and seek union with Me in faith and love. And truly, these shall still be saved before the end .... I will call them back earlier so that they will not run the risk of descending completely but they can still mature in the beyond .... Or I will remove them from the earth at the end and take them to a place of peace because they are intended to populate the new earth again as the root of the new human generation .... You humans should believe what I announce to you time and again, for there is not much time left, and everyone of good will can still be saved, so that he will not meet the dreadful fate of a new banishment ....

Amen

Paternal address ....

B.D. 8657 from October 28th 1963, taken from Book No. 91

You are to experience My love and favour again and again and feel justified as My children, whom the father surrounds with His love and guides them safely through earth life. You are to go all ways in the awareness that I walk next to you, that you always just need to reach for My hand when the way seems to be difficult for you and you have to fight with obstacles. In Me you will always find the right support, no matter how steeply the path ascends. And you will also not need to walk in darkness, for I Myself radiate the light which brightly illuminates your path .... How gladly I lead My children by the hand and smooth all paths for them, how gladly I speak to them to make them happy, how gladly I let them feel My fatherly love and again and again prove My presence to them .... I only want that they return My love, but then I also hand out My gifts of favour without limitation. For truly, all My love belongs to you, who again and again unite with Me in thought. Because I know it whose longing is meant for Me, and fulfilment will also come to him. But as long as you still stay on earth your earthly body still keeps you imprisoned, and your soul cannot free itself completely; it is still held by matter which encloses it, which itself is not yet completely spiritualized, and therefore also your thoughts will still be subject to earthly restrictions; you will simply not be able to grasp intellectually the pure spiritual processes in which the soul has moved and also still moves. Much will seem incredible to you because the intellect is unable to penetrate spiritual processes which you will nevertheless one day brightly survey when you have discarded the material body. You can perhaps suspect them, but not grasp them in their entire depth. But if you could do this, then you would be unspeakably happy already on earth, because you then recognize My endless father love and this would make you happy in excess. But this you may believe that you, who serve Me as loyal co-workers on earth, will soon be able to move again in blissful realms .... you may believe it that you will soon forget again all toils of life and dwell in light heights where My nearness makes you unspeakably happy. I have sent My messengers of light to earth for the sake of a great mission, and you voluntarily take this walk on earth upon yourselves to help Me in the work of redemption for men, who go through earth life in great spiritual trouble. And you can be certain that I will support you in every way so that you will successfully complete your missionary work. But also you yourselves can increase your degree of light through this earth walk, and you can come so close to Me that you feel My constant presence and your soul now moves more into spiritual spheres than on earth. And then also your spiritual activity, the work in My vineyard, will be a blessed one because I can flood you with My power, which now directly flows over to you through your complete devotion to Me. And so it will then also happen that you do a work of redemption, which is so extensive as you do not think it possible, because it does not only extend to this earth, but far into the kingdom on the other side, and you will once experience deep thanks from all those souls, which through your activity for Me and My kingdom have come to light and become free from the fetters of the opponent. But as long as you yourselves still stay on earth, this great blessing remains hidden to you; you work as man in the midst of men; you can well believe it, what unusual mission was given to you, but all spiritual connections with it you do not know, but you can suspect them, for I let your soul take a small glimpse into My eternal plan of salvation, and flashes of light will also shine within yourselves which momentarily illuminate the darkness, and then no restrictions will be imposed on your thoughts which will one day also find their confirmation, because I also guide your thoughts correctly since you belong to Me. For a short time only you still dwell on earth, to then return again to your true home, to again move into the kingdom of light, from which you went out to serve Me, and you will only love Me, your father from eternity, more and more intimately; you will devote yourselves to Me, and My love will seize you; you will again be united with Me, as you were in the beginning ...._>Amen

There shall be light among people ....

B.D. 8658 from October 29th 1963, taken from Book No. 91

A vast spiritual region is opened up to those of you humans who allow yourselves to be instructed by Me Myself, because through My messengers and mediators I can convey the knowledge to all who merely desire it and whose life of love enabled them to understand it. This region is closed to your intellectual studies; it is and will also remain unverifiable to you humans until you are granted such bright inner light by the spirit that it is conclusive for you to have the true knowledge. And this spiritual region is inexhaustible, your God and Creator will instruct you constantly and grant you ever more profound realisation if only you would always comply with the prerequisite which is expected of you: that you make heartfelt contact with Me in prayer or through deeds of love, for the bond with Me must be present otherwise you will forever remain spiritually blind .... For I Myself Am the light, I Am the truth, I Am the spring from which love, light and strength .... profound wisdom .... come forth. And this flow can only pour out if the contact has been established, which you have to establish yourselves because you once discontinued it voluntarily .... But then a region will be opened up to you which you, as mere humans, cannot enter if this contact with Me does not exist. But then everything becomes clear to you, you recognise the spiritual correlations, you understand My reign and activity, My eternal plan of Salvation will be revealed to you and you will be able to comprehend it. You learn about spiritual happenings which form the basis of your existence as humans, you also understand the natural processes and can explain to yourselves the happenings around you, My nature will be revealed to you and many a veil will be lifted before your eyes .... You will also be able to examine spiritual worlds, even if you are only mentally informed of them at first .... until your spiritual eye opens when you have attained a specific degree of maturity which allows for spiritual vision .... Knowledge you are entirely lacking as humans will be bestowed upon you by My Fatherly love, which would like you to be in the same state again as you were before your apostasy from Me, when you were brightly illuminated by the light of realisation and blissfully happy .... You are meant to attain this state again and can indeed achieve it during your life on earth as human beings .... However, you must strive for it, it cannot be given to you .... You must make conscious contact with Me, acknowledge Me as your God and Creator, as your Father and long for My presence which will subsequently grant you the highly valuable gifts of grace, because My infinite love wants to give itself and thus also wants to once again send you the bright light of realisation, which you yourselves clouded out and finally lost entirely ....

Now consider the spiritual darkness humanity lives in, consider that only a few people create a sphere of light around themselves, that, in a manner of speaking, merely sparks of light flare up on earth, which certainly could be caught by every person and which would suffice to ignite a light again in a person's heart who would like to escape the darkness. Consider how much happier people would be if only they had a small degree of realisation, which they could raise at any time. Then you, who have already kindled a light in yourselves, will understand that I favour everything which helps to bring a light among the people .... You will understand that I educate My own bearers of light whom I endow with an abundance of knowledge, whom I guide increasingly deeper into the truth, which can only originate from Me .... and that I instruct these bearers of light to let their light shine forth again, so that it shall penetrate the darkness which burdens the human race .... It is not My will that you humans leave earthly life in the same darkness as you entered it .... It is My will that you, in this life as a human being, desire light again and, truly, your desire will be granted, and it will make you happy on earth already when you learn to understand why you live on earth and what your actual task on earth is .... Only I know what darkness means for a free and blessed spirit which was created in brightest light .... Only I know that this spirit can only be happy again when it moves within the circuit of My emanation of love .... I want to draw it into this circuit of My flow of love on earth and therefore repeatedly send rays to him which should kindle a light in him that urges towards the eternal Essence of light of its own accord .... It means, that I first grant every person a small amount of knowledge pertaining to spiritual spheres, which the person can increase of his own will. He can constantly avail himself of the flow of My strength of love, he can gain spiritual possessions if he uses this flow of strength for acts of love whereby the love ignites an increasingly brighter light in him .... And light signifies knowledge, realisation, most profound wisdom .... but only ever pertaining to spiritual regions which are inaccessible to the intellect, because I Myself make a point of instructing those people who hand themselves over to Me and appeal to Me for spiritual enlightenment .... They may receive extensive knowledge and thus gradually enter the very state of realisation they enjoyed in the beginning. The darkness My adversary had imposed on them will recede, they will attain the light again by having established conscious contact with Me, the eternal Essence of light, and allowing themselves to be illuminated by Me once more as in the beginning, when they originated from Me in all perfection ....

Amen

Conscious voluntary commitment with God is bliss ....

B.D. 8659 from October 30th 1963, taken from Book No. 91

I constantly seek to increase My living creations' beatitude, irrespective of their degree of maturity .... But the state of maturity is decisive whether they accept what I send to them in gifts of favour or reject them. My love light radiates incessantly into the whole infinity; it both touches the already perfect spiritual and constantly increases its happiness, but as it also radiates towards everything still wretched, only meets with resistance and therefore remains without effect. But where the resistance only decreases a little, the beingness feels a relief of its agony or fettering, which it has to endure until the resistance has completely subsided. And then it just needs to open itself willingly to My love illumination to be made happy by it and to ascend higher and higher, which also always results in increased influx of My love power. As soon as now My creature is again conscious of itself when it goes over earth as man or has also already entered the kingdom on the other side, then it has also established the union with Me and voluntarily opened itself to My love light ray, and then it will also feel the happiness, which My divine irradiation also has to prepare for it, because I always just want to make happy. And I will never now withdraw My love from My creatures and reduce their state of happiness when they once have entered this state. And therefore there can always only be an ascent; the state of happiness can always only increase as soon as the creature has consciously entered into union with Me. That is why this conscious union is what I try to achieve through means of most different kind, because until then the being can always fall back again, even if My love does everything to prevent it, but it cannot be forced, and the establishing of the union with Me is a completely free act of will .... It leads the being to beatitude, which constantly increases, but if it is not carried out then the being remains in an unhappy state and can remain in it for eternal times. But it is again and again illuminated by Me so that it gives up its resistance, only that the illumination remains ineffective with constant rejection. That is why you men do not know in what great responsibility you stand, because in earth life as man you have reached this degree that you consciously have to make the free decision of will, which can redeem you from all unhappiness, which can form you to a divine being, which now constantly stands in connection with Me and therefore can also constantly be illuminated by My love power. But exactly this test of will .... if it is passed .... is the great turning point in your being, on your path of return to Me. Your earth fate is so determined for every single man that he can pass this test of will .... But My opponent will do everything to prevent man to seek the union with Me, and that is why man has to pass a fight on earth, because he alone decides whether I or My opponent triumph over him; neither I nor My opponent force his will, but each only seeks to influence him, but man himself has to decide. And when you now know that you therefore also decide about your state, whether it remains unhappy or shapes itself into a happy one, you will also recognize the great responsibility in earth life, and you would then have to do everything to free yourselves from your opponent, what you now again can only when you ask for power from Me, and this request is already a connection with Me, which you only need to strengthen to win the victory over the opponent .... For I truly will not leave you without strength if only you request it from Me .... For then you open yourselves to My illumination of love power, and you have passed the most difficult test of will; you now stride upwards and will also never ever fall back once your union with Me has taken place in spirit and in truth .... For I only respect and value that which is deeply felt in the heart, while words alone are of no value before Me. Nevertheless, I will not rest in touching you again and again, for I will wrestle with My adversary for your souls until the death of your body, so that an endlessly long, wretched earthly walk through creation will not have been in vain for you; again and again I will let sparks of love light flash upon you on earth and also then still in the kingdom on the other side in order to make you, My living creations, give up your resistance and voluntarily turn your heart towards Me .... And every single being, every single soul, is a great gain for Me as soon as I can illuminate it again with My love .... And what I do not achieve in one earthly walk I will nevertheless surely achieve one day, because I give up no soul, which once came forth from Me, I pursue it with My love, and whether eternities pass by .... one day it will surely return to Me voluntarily ...._>Amen

Misuse of divine gifts (Talents) ....

B.D. 8660 from October 31th 1963, taken from Book No. 91

Don't believe that you can revoke My eternal order with impunity, don't believe that you will benefit from an action which contradicts My lawful order. And this will always be the case if you wrongly use the gifts you receive as a human being, which therefore trigger functions in you .... which prompt your will into becoming active .... The human being is intricately structured, he is a work of creation which testifies to My love, wisdom and might, all his functions are meaningful and can only have been devised by a Creator Who is unsurpassable in His wisdom .... merely the physical complexion differs, so that not all people have the same abilities at their disposal and their will to make use of them is either weaker or stronger. Thus people are differently talented in their skills and intentions .... they are also permeated by My strength differently, because it depends on the person's will whether he requests My strength, which is always at his disposal, or whether he only uses his vitality, which also flows to him at a weaker or stronger rate in a natural manner. A physically completely healthy person can therefore have more vitality at his disposal than someone with an ailing body; however, the latter can noticeably increase his own strength by directly requesting My strength and as a result accomplish achievements which surpass those of his fellow human being. And thus talents are also given to people which likewise express themselves in different ways. All these talents are gifts from Me, gifts of grace which the person should use correctly in his earthly life by being of service to his fellow human being again to the best of his ability, for he will want to develop his talents to either do good or to instil pleasure, providing the person always lives within divine order. Yet everything of a divine nature can also become distorted through My adversary's influence .... For he will leave no stone unturned in order to revoke the divine order ....

Consequently, the more enslaved a person is by him, the more the adversary can succeed in destroying his belief in a God, the more he can also influence him into wrongly cultivating the abilities .... these talents .... which rest dormant within him. He will remove his sense for everything pertaining to divine order, he will want to destroy the 'natural harmony' .... He will always think, want and create such that it will contradict this order, the harmony .... Then the person's thinking and feeling will become confused through the adversary's influence. And then distorted images will appear regardless in which field a person works. People will think wrongly and put their thoughts on paper, so that writings will arise which do not benefit other people, which present entirely wrong conclusions and which are unable to satisfy a reader who still moves within the divine order .... And only the adversary's followers will affirm and accept them. Yet their souls will gain nothing, instead they will even lose that which they possess .... And thus, through the adversary's incentive the most varied talents will be misused .... What they will then call into life will only ever be distorted images of what I give to people for their happiness .... The functions of hands, eyes and ears are being misused with inharmonious and distorted consequences, for they are being led by the one who is against divine order, against that which is perfect, and who also induces people to be actively against Me by producing works which testify to anything else but to the divine gifts the human being received .... on the contrary, they originate from a sphere where everything has left the order. And the fact that these products of satanic activity find recognition again demonstrates people's spiritual state, for their nature was not created such that they lack the ability of making the right judgment, rather, their disbelief is confusing their mind .... they are unable to think clearly even if, from an earthly point of view, they possess a sharp intellect, yet their spiritual blindness demonstrates itself in their wrong judgment, they are no longer capable of differentiating between harmony and disharmony, and time and again people with the same spiritual attitude will join them and their judgment. And this distortion of creative products is merely a sign of immense spiritual confusion, an obvious sign of My adversary's activity and therefore also a sign of the near end, for the soul's full maturing is no longer assured where almost nothing is within divine order anymore. All My creations testify to wisdom, love and omnipotence and these must also be recognisable in human work and activity, everything must radiate harmony and soothingly touch the human being's soul which is devoted to Me .... But anyone who is still distant from Me due to his wrong attitude towards Me, due to disbelief or his belief in error will also lose the right sensitivity for any harmony because his soul still belongs to the one who is My adversary ....

Amen

Error rules men .... book of fathers ....

B.D. 8661 from November 1st 1963, taken from Book No. 91

How difficult it is to lead people to truth if I want to leave them free will .... My adversary's power over men is enormous, but also only again because of their free will, because they grant him the right to exercise his influence, because they once voluntarily followed him into darkness; they gave away all light, and he also prevents men that they come to the light of knowledge, that they walk in truth. They could well break away from darkness, and they also believe to possess truth, and exactly that illuminates their spiritual state that they are not able to distinguish truth from error because they are of darkened spirit. They certainly let their intellect become active and also want to penetrate into spiritual areas intellectually; they make use of the book of the fathers and also approach the interpretation there intellectually, but their spirit is still darkened until they take the way directly to Me, their God and creator from eternity, and request purest truth from Me. My adversary will always try to prevent them from precisely this request for the supply of pure truth by believing that they can only find the purest truth in this book of the fathers. But even if the wording would have remained unchanged, the knowledge about it is of no use when the spirit does not guarantee them the right interpretation. But also this content has not remained unchanged because nothing remains unchanged what once took its start from Me in all purity. But a spiritually awakened man will always recognize where error has crept in. And that error has crept in, My opponent has always taken care of that, because it was always possible for him to intervene in the intellect of such men, who believed to be guardians of spiritual goods, which once went out from Me. Already the many divisions of the churches prove this to you, because if all would have found the same interpretation for the words recorded in the book of the fathers, then no divisions would have arisen .... But every school of thought believes to have the right interpretation, and yet they are different .... and this alone should make you humans think, and again and again you should question your God and creator Himself, and you will also be truthfully instructed by Me. But you do not believe in direct revelations of your father; you consider the divine address to be concluded with the 'word of God', which you believe to possess in the bible alone. And you do not even know that „I Myself am working in him who believes ...." You do not acknowledge divine revelations, otherwise you would also accept what is necessary for you to know. But how is light to be brought to people if even you, who believe yourselves called to proclaim My gospel to people, do not accept it? Truth alone sets you free, truth alone leads you to beatitude, for only through truth can you mature, because truth is the light which radiates from Me Myself, because you will not find your way home to your father's house on a poorly illuminated path, for again and again My adversary will push you away from the right path and you will not notice that you are following him, because he disguises himself well and prevents you from accepting the right light through deceptive lights .... But the will of man alone decides .... And so a right light can certainly be brought to you again and again, but if you reject it, then you go further in the darkness of spirit. But again and again I ask you: Why do you not take the direct way to Me and ask Me for enlightenment of your spirit? Why do you rigidly hold on to an educated spiritual knowledge and do not assure yourselves whether you walk in truth by again and again asking Me for it? It will not even occur to you to doubt what has been conveyed to you through the ages .... But you should always bear in mind that nothing keeps itself pure what has passed through human hands because man has free will and therefore he is also not hindered when he makes changes .... and that changes have been made I emphasize again and again that I therefore again and again guide pure truth to earth because "heaven and earth will pass away but My word remains in existence until all eternity ...." And because it is exposed to changes through human will and then is also no longer My word, I again and again direct it down to earth, because My word is truth .... but always only My word. Think about it seriously because it is about that the spiritual darkness is broken through, which is spread over earth through the work of My opponent, who will always wage the fight against the light, and especially in the last time before the end. When your spirit is awakened then you will also clearly know to differentiate truth from error .... But then you also accept My word, which is directly directed from above to earth, because I alone know it how necessary it is to bring a light to men, because very many walk along in darkness of spirit and are therefore blind guides of the blind ...._>Amen

Fight of the prince of darkness against light ....

B.D. 8662 from November 2nd 1963, taken from Book No. 91

That again and again the wall of faith is shaken is not allowed to surprise you, My servants on earth, because My opponent will fight against truth more and more furiously and seek to put out the light, through which his true nature is revealed. You are not allowed to forget that he knows how short his time still is, and that is why his work is particularly frightening; that is why he will seek to intervene everywhere and disguise himself with the garment of an angel of light; he will as it were appear as a servant chosen by Me to lead men astray who believe in his calling. You have no idea where you can find him everywhere, for he sneaks in where only an existing error gives him the opportunity .... Where error is, is also his area, and there he can rule men and lead them deeper and deeper into error. You men can protect yourselves against it when you just devote yourselves to Me intimately, when you entrust yourselves to Me and ask for protection from him. But often you yourselves do not recognize the danger; you think to be standing high above error and yet are spiritually blinded, because exactly this overestimation of oneself is already spiritual arrogance, which offers the adversary the best possibility to slip in .... Again and again I call out to you all: Be alive in your faith .... don't flatten yourselves and don't let 'worship' become a habit which suffocates all life, for this is the great danger of those who believe themselves called to be leaders of their fellow human beings, that they themselves satisfy all forms and are inwardly far removed from the right, living bond with Me, which only gives them the right to count themselves as My sheep, who then also hear My voice and recognize it as the father's voice. Know it that I demand a living faith from every single man, that I do not let Myself be satisfied with a dead faith .... but that the inner living connection with Me must be established in the quiet chamber, that no public events are necessary for this, because these will again only reduce the devotion, but not increase it, as you wrongly assume it. "Where two or three are gathered together in My name, there am I in the midst of them ...." Remember this promise, and shut yourselves off completely from the world, and only when you preach to them the gospel of love, then gather your congregation around you, but refrain from all outward acts and customs, and seek only to establish an intimate relationship with Me .... the relationship of a child with its father .... and truly, then I Myself will be with you and guide your thoughts correctly, and you will also recognize truth as truth but error as error. Do not fall into states of ecstasy; be sober and always only turned towards Me in intimate love, and truly, you will then also work for the blessing of all those to whom you bring My gospel. But beware of being at My adversary's beck and call when he demands that you refrain from demonstrating love. Then you will always recognize him as the exit, who is the enemy of all life and who wants to prevent that you find back to Me, because you can only unite with Me again through love .... Therefore everything love impels you to do must correspond to My will and be blessed by Me .... If therefore a restriction is imposed on you men in love activity, if you are hindered in prayer for the deceased or for your fellowmen, then you know from whom these regulations or teachings start, and then you also know that he still controls you when you comply with his desire .... After all, it must be obvious and clear to you that no restriction will ever be imposed on you from Me in your activity of love, and every loving, intercessory thought will be pleasing to Me and have an effect as strength which the being receives to which the loving request is directed .... Should you men therefore bypass this most important commandment of love, then you must nevertheless clearly recognize who stands behind it, who presents such false teachings to you, and you must defend yourselves against him and his influence, by you joining yourselves all the more closely to Me, Who will truly also protect you from him. But know that you men yourselves allow him his work because you have already become too closely associated with him. You allow him too many rights over you, and he makes good use of them, so that you now can detach yourselves from him with difficulty. But powerless is he against love .... Live a life of love yourselves, prove your unselfish love for your neighbour, always carry all those in need on earth and in the beyond in loving intercession, and the adversary will no longer be able to approach you, for he is powerless against love .... Yet do not fear him, since I am also his lord, but intimately hand yourselves over to Me, and in the bond with Me the complete detachment from the one who is My and your adversary will also take place ...._>Amen

Task to spread the truth ....

B.D. 8663 from November 3rd 1963, taken from Book No. 91

The spiritual wealth you own also commits you to passing it on, and since it is My will that you spread the truth I will also always bless your efforts. Therefore, don't allow yourselves to be discouraged by obstacles or difficulties which My adversary will always put in your way, for if I promise you My blessing My adversary's activity will be futile. I only want you to trust Me completely, I do not want you to undertake anything without having appealed for My blessing and My help .... I don't want you to forget Whom you are working for, because you are not doing earthly work when you try to spread the truth .... it is the fulfilment of the task I gave you Myself, and even if you work in a more or less earthly way, you will nevertheless only undertake it with the support of spiritual forces which may influence you in My name in every sort of work you do for Me and My kingdom. For time and again I say to you that people urgently need light .... Even if only a few ever desire it, but even these few can be effective in their circle, and you will be surprised where the truth from Me will shine to, you will notice the strangest correlations and be happy that you were able to contribute towards the fact that people receive light. And even though My guidance is obvious, people must nevertheless be at work so that everything proceeds within the framework of natural progression and no person is compelled into believing, yet always shows the love, wisdom and power of a God and Creator. However, you, My servants, shall also experience My love and care time after time, for every good Caretaker looks after his labourers. But I also regard My labourers as My children and I will not withhold anything they need from them. Just hand yourselves over to My Fatherly care, give yourselves to Me completely and, truly, I will guide you wherever you go, I will bless your work for Me and My kingdom and make sure it is successful. You should always know that I need you, for people must carry out what I deem to be good and successful, but due to people's free will I cannot work visibly Myself since it must be left up to people as to whether or not they want to accept the truth from Me which is offered to them by you. Nevertheless, they are in urgent need of this pure truth, and therefore I repeatedly try to attract faithful co-workers, and they can be assured of My Fatherly blessing ....

Amen

The embodied light beings' willingness to help ....

B.D. 8664 from November 5th 1963, taken from Book No. 91

Believe Me that people would be in dire straights during the last days before the end if I did not continually send messengers of light to earth to bring them light and strength directly from Me and thus contribute towards saving at least those people who have not yet entirely handed themselves over to My adversary. These messengers of light consequently fight against the prince of darkness by exposing the misconceptions which people adhere to, by bringing them the light of truth and thereby also illuminating the path of return to Me into their Father's house. There has to be an activity of strong counteracting forces, for the adversary's power is great given that people concede to this power themselves with their wrong attitude towards Me, their God and Creator of eternity. They are living in his realm and constantly move in spiritual darkness. My kingdom, however, is the kingdom of light and bliss, and from this kingdom helpful beings of light, motivated by their love towards the wretched, avail themselves to Me to descend to earth in order to help them still find the way back before the end. And since they are only impelled by love for this work of redemption, I accept it and place them where there is a possibility of success, where they are then lovingly active, both earthly as well as spiritually.

For now they are living as human beings amongst human beings and thus .... although their souls are already fully mature .... also have to fit in with people. Consequently they do not stand out in any special way but live like everyone else, often in underprivileged circumstances. Yet they will never need to suffer adversity, because they work as My servants on earth and, like a good Master, I will also always take care of all their earthly needs on their behalf. Nevertheless they are not conspicuously noticeable in their environment, yet every believer can recognise them by their unusual mission. For they serve Me as bearers of light, as bearers of truth, which they can receive directly from Me and pass on to their fellow human beings. Only the pure truth can still bring salvation to those people who still live in complete error, in spiritual darkness, and who are therefore at greatest risk of getting lost. For you humans are unable to assess in what danger humanity finds itself during these last days before the end. And this motivates Me to send messengers of light to earth which, as human beings, will then do their utmost to work on My behalf on earth to prevent people from becoming subject to compulsory faith. These bearers of light might well sense where they are coming from as soon as they, as people, receive revelations from Me in order to be able to fulfil their mission .... For they will soon recognise their fellow human beings' spiritually low level and their hopelessness of ever attaining the light of truth unless they receive special help .... And since they themselves will be guided into the knowledge of all correlations by Me through the conveyance of the Word, they will also know that they have come from a different sphere for the sake of a mission.

And yet, I shall keep their origin concealed until they have reached a specific degree of maturity as human beings which, however, they will only attain just before the end of their physical life, for it is irrelevant for the human being's mission which spirit has embodied itself in him, since all beings of light offering themselves to live on earth for the salvation of people are spirits of love which are close to My heart, and My love to all My living creations is so profound that I on My part do not apply any classification, as is always the case with limited thinking .... You humans, however, harbour this wish to know about your previous existence, and then I Am occasionally motivated by your love to give you small hints, providing you interpret these indications correctly .... For in My kingdom are countless beings with the same degree of love whose characteristics .... even though every individual being is self-aware .... correspond to a great original spirit again, precisely because of their greater than great love .... And I also embrace these again with My love and Am present to them on earth in order to support them in their spiritual mission, which is urgently needed because humanity has reached such a spiritually low level that only the pure truth can help it ascend again which you, My messenger, shall receive directly from Me and pass on, so that the error can be recognised .... so that there shall be light on earth, so that I Myself shall be recognised by people in My whole Being .... For it is precisely this realisation which My opponent tries to suppress in order to prevent people from looking for and finding the path to Me .... For anyone who recognises Me in My infinite love, unsurpassable wisdom and overwhelming might will also strive towards Me, and he will be saved from a repeated fall into the abyss ....

Amen

Confession in the struggle of faith ....

You all continue to experience My great love and grace when you allow yourselves to be addressed by Me .... You, who receive My word directly, and also all of you, who accept this My word from My messengers, who recognize it as the voice of your father from eternity, you can never ever get lost, as soon as your heart receives My words and you seek to obey My will, which you recognize through My word. You all do not know in which flow of favour you stand, that My opponent cannot dare to approach you as long as you stand in contact with Me, as long as you read My word and stand under its effect. And that is why you all can praise yourselves happily, who are directly or indirectly addressed by Me, because so long you are also intimately connected with Me, and that always means influx of spiritual power, which your body certainly feels less, but the soul all the more and it will mature in earth life. A process, to which I have already pointed out during My earth walk, now takes place, and many men do not want to believe that it is possible to stand in direct communication with Me, so that My voice is audible .... And so long these people are also still outside of My divine flow of grace, although they believe to be able to create advantages for their souls through a so-called divine service .... But only conscious contact with Me will ever earn the soul this advantage, and then the human being will also hear My word .... even in the places where it is usually offered .... But that conscious intimate contact ensures man that he also hears My address in the sermons, which are held in the usual way. Because I will direct his thoughts so that only truth touches him and he remains completely untouched by erroneous spiritual material. But My word directly conducted to earth is a gift of favour of inestimable value .... And still it is only accepted and recognized by few men as voice of the father. But I know about the hearts of men; I know about their maturity of soul, about their willingness to hear My word, and that is why I can also send My pure word to all those to grant them the help in the last time before the end, which they need to stand firm in the last faith struggle. Because then it will prove how deeply the man stands in truth, because this alone will give him the power to hold out .... And there will not be many, because only truth carries the power in itself, which man needs to stand firm when his confession is demanded .... He who stands in error gives up everything, for his faith in Me is a dead faith that never confesses Me in Jesus and My work of redemption .... And when you now know that an abundance of favour is sent to you through My word from above, then you can praise yourselves happily to be allowed to take part in an act of love and mercy, which gives you knowledge, which conveys purest truth to you and which makes you able to assert yourselves in the coming difficult time, because you are constantly supplied with power by Me, as soon as you listen to My word and sink into it. Then you truly draw from the source of all power; I Myself flood through you .... And whether you lose or have to do without earthly goods, you are nevertheless much richer than your fellow human beings, for you possess imperishable goods .... Your intimate bond with Me earns you spiritual possessions which no-one can take away from you, and no matter how hard earthly powers press you, they will not be able to push Me away from you, and where I am the adversary has lost his power. Grasp the fact that you are in contact with Me Myself .... understand that this process certainly appears unusual because the majority of people do not know that such is possible .... but that all of you, who hear My word directly or indirectly, can no longer deny this process and that a bright light has been kindled for you, in the glow of which you will find the path to Me and no longer need to fear a wrong path. You can gain insight into spiritual secrets, into My plan of salvation from eternity, and the understanding has been opened to you for much, which before caused you to ask questions. You can attain a living faith because you were always taught love through My word and because love only made you worthy to hear My word, because love only opened up the understanding for you .... For I can only address those people who shape themselves through love such that My love can also become effective in them .... My word will only ever touch hearts when they are opened to My illumination of love through a life of love, but then the human being will be in the midst of a grace-filled experience, and he will safely reach his aim on earth: unification with Me, Who am love Myself from eternity ...._>Amen

Only love helps to knowledge and bliss ....

B.D. 8666 from November 7th 1963, taken from Book No. 91

You humans cause Me Myself to express My love, as soon as you show Me your love and thereby force Me to be present to you, because I am love Myself .... And then My presence must also secure My constant illumination of love for you, for through your love you relinquish all resistance and My love can become effective in you. But the effect of My love illumination is that you penetrate into deepest knowledge, that you win knowledge, which indeed rests in all of you, but is closed to your intellect so long, until love illuminates your thinking and you then are able to grasp knowledge in all clarity, which is unknown to you before and also incomprehensible. All spiritual progress, all light which shines to your soul, is the result of your love for Me .... which is expressed in works of unselfish neighbourly love .... With every work of love you draw Me Myself to you; I do not resist love, because to win your love is also My happiness, because love wants to give itself away, and through your love I therefore can give Myself away and therefore make you immensely happy with spiritual gifts, which you only need to accept out of My hand. My last aim is your return to Me, which can only take place through love .... As soon as you now work in love, you come closer to Me step by step; through love the unification with Me takes place, and the original state occurs again, in which you were intimately connected to Me and My love power could radiate into you unhindered. In this state you were therefore radiated through with light, i.e., nothing was hidden to you, you saw through everything, all connections were clear to you, and this deepest knowledge, the knowledge about Me Myself, about My nature, My rule and work, made you deeply happy .... thus you were blissfully happy, and this bliss knew no limit .... That you changed this perfect state yourselves, that you rejected My radiation of light of love, had its reason in the fact that the knowledge of your perfection was given to you through the influence of the highest being visible to you .... Lucifer .... led you to arrogance, that you believed that you did not need Me .... because not visible to you and joined that visible being which drew you down into the abyss .... for rejecting My illumination of love also meant that the illumination of love was no longer effective on you due to your resistance .... So you lost all light, all knowledge and also all power, which once let you become creatively active and made you happy .... But now, after an endless long walk from the deepest depth to the height, you have again arrived in the state where you are free to request My love and are also allowed to receive it without restriction, yet this is your own free matter of will .... And you will now understand that I .... Who longs for your love because you came forth from My love .... am always ready to radiate towards you again, but this can only happen if you yourselves show love towards Me .... You yourselves therefore also determine the degree of love which shines upon you; you yourselves as man are able to do compulsion to Me, which I cannot resist when you devote yourselves to Me in love, because then I must be present to you, then I can no longer close Myself to you when you open yourselves that My ray of love can fall into your hearts. And I gladly let this compulsion be done to Me, because I long for the return of My children to be able to make them happy again as in the beginning. Because My nature is love, but love wants to give itself away; it wants to draw you to Me for ever; it wants that you reach your perfection again, what is only possible when you again get into the possession of light and power .... Light and strength are again the effect of My illumination of love, so that love is everything and without love there is no happiness .... From My side truly no restriction is imposed on you, if only you yourselves prove your love to Me, by you practicing unselfish neighbourly love; then I Myself can be with you in every work of love, and My presence must also have a happy effect. And so also the degree of light will always increase; you will again be able to understand My rule and work; deepest wisdoms will be made accessible to you, and you will be led out of the state of imperfection; all inadequacies will fall off you, and the aim .... the change of a creature to a child .... you will certainly reach; you will come closer and closer to My father heart, because your love draws Me and I am powerless against love, because it is My original element .... But you, too, were the same in your nature when you came forth from Me, and you must also assume the same original nature again .... And I will help you until you have reached the aim and you can intimately unite with Me through love, because love urges love and most intimate union also guarantees highest beatitude ...._>Amen

Jesus as a human being knew of His mission ....

B.D. 8667 from November 8th 1963, taken from Book No. 91

The earthly path of the human being Jesus was exceedingly sorrowful .... His pure soul found itself in an impure and dark environment and experienced this environment as torment, on account of which the child Jesus was never able to be cheerful, although He was not yet conscious of the mission the soul itself had offered to carry out .... From time to time the light of His soul's true nature burst through indeed, then My spirit expressed itself through Him, so that he already performed miracles as a child, which only could be accomplished by a being of purest light in possession of abundant strength and light .... Yet this only happened now and then in order that the people in His neighbourhood should believe in His mission ....

And even these remarkable expressions of strength troubled the boy Jesus as soon as He had regained His natural human frame of mind but they also impelled Him into ever more heartfelt contact with Me, His eternal God and Father, Whom He loved with all His heart, which therefore joined Him ever more to Me so that My love, too, permeated Him ever more until the moment came when He, in the brightest light of love, recognised His task .... until He realised that He was meant to deliver His fallen brothers, until He became aware of the complete act of Salvation and He saw before Him the arduous path to the cross He should take if He so wanted .... His path of suffering was shown to Him in every detail, the knowledge of which darkened His soul and filled it with fear from which only His burning love for the wretched living creations helped Him escape again .... Yet He had to struggle with the decision to voluntarily take the path to the cross, He had to be willing to shoulder humanity's every gilt of sin and render such an agonising act of atonement for it that it surpassed all human imagination. For Jesus had not been destined by My will to make this sacrifice on the cross, rather, His soul had voluntarily offered itself to bring the lost children back to Me. For this purpose it lived life on earth as a human being and then had to struggle to make this decision again as a human being, because free will was decisive again too, for I would never have destined a human being to make such a sacrifice of atonement against his will, because only a sacrifice made by love was able to redeem the original sin of the fallen beings. And the sacrifice not only involved the act of crucifixion, the days of most bitter physical suffering and humiliation inflicted on the human being Jesus by My adversary's vassals, but His whole earthly life was a path to the cross, because His soul suffered indescribably, having descended from the kingdom of light into the kingdom of darkness.

And Jesus very soon knew the cause and purpose of his descent to earth and this knowledge burdened the 'human being Jesus' beyond all measure, so that He undeniably travelled the path across earth as a human being yet the pleasures of earthly life were denied to Him, which every human being enjoying his earthly life was usually allowed to take pleasure in with impunity .... For His life was constantly overshadowed by the events ahead of Him which .... since He was merely human .... constantly frightened Him and never let Him be cheerful .... Only in his refuge with Me did He find peace and strength and then, due to his ever-increasing love, His will to make the sacrifice grew constantly stronger too, and He carried the heavy burden of earthly life consciously and only ever endeavoured to do My will and help His fellow human beings .... And this also steadily increased His strength enabling Him to work miracles and thereby helping his fellow human beings who needed His help. Yet His mission before the actual act of Salvation consisted of preaching the Gospel to people, of proclaiming My will to them and of admonishing and encouraging them into leading a loving and righteous way of life .... He brought people the truth which had not been recognised for a long time already and which had to be imparted to people in all purity again in order to induce them into a right way of living, so that His act of Salvation would then also be correctly understood and accepted by people who made the effort to live a life of love.

He led the way which all should follow if they wanted to return to the kingdom of light, to Me, and who would be able to do so after Jesus had redeemed the original sin through His death on the cross. This act of mercy by Jesus had such enormous consequences that you cannot receive enough clarification about it. Time and again the knowledge of it will be truthfully conveyed to you, for you should not just see in Jesus the human being Whose life was prematurely terminated by other people, but you should recognise His great mission, for Jesus' act of Salvation is of such immense significance for you humans that it is imperative for you to accept it if you ever want to escape the kingdom of darkness and be admitted into the kingdom of light. And you will only accept it if you are instructed of it absolutely truthfully, which always happens through My spirit which alone guides you into every truth ....

Amen

Reception and understanding of the divine word requires love ....

B.D. 8668 from November 9th 1963, taken from Book No. 91

Anyone who has the grace to receive proof of the direct connection with God .... who is allowed to take possession of His word directly conveyed from above to earth, anyone who has this proof in that he feels himself addressed by the father, can no longer get lost for ever, for since he recognizes the father's voice he belongs to His sheep, which the good shepherd will never ever let fall into the hands of His enemy .... You humans cannot value this grace highly enough, to be addressed by the father Himself, for then you will already have passed the test of will, which consists of voluntarily turning to Him, otherwise you would neither be able to hear His word nor understand the word conveyed to you through messengers, for both require your complete devotion to Him, it requires the acknowledgement of your God and creator, Whom you once denied this acknowledgement. You can therefore already on earth beatify yourselves when this exceedingly great gift of favour is brought to you because it would be empty and meaningless for you when your will would still be completely set against God. Then you would laugh at His word and never be able to recognize its value. And the fact that you recognize it as 'God's word' proves a certain degree of maturity of your soul, which has almost reached its aim and still needs to cover a short distance until the death of its body in order to then be able to enter the kingdom of light and bliss ..... But why is not every person able to recognize the father's word? Why does not every person feel addressed to whom it is conveyed by messengers who seek to spread the truth everywhere on God's behalf ....? It is the lack of love which also means a lack of spiritual understanding .... The human being is the being which once turned away from God in free will and which therefore also rejected all illumination of love on God's part. After an endless long walk through the works of creation on earth it now enters this earth as man and is completely devoid of all love, because it rejected it and against its will the soul also cannot be illuminated. Nevertheless it possesses the ability to love through the God spark associated with the soul and therefore only needs to let its will become active to ignite the divine love spark in it .... Then it unites with God again and can again be illuminated by His fatherly love and now also comes to a certain degree of maturity where the 'word of God' is familiar to it, where it touches it and it recognizes the father's voice again .... which, however, is never possible without love. And therein lies the reason for the rejection of the divine word, which is directly conveyed from above to earth, for people are unloving .... Love has grown cold, the divine spark is rarely ignited in the heart because people lack the will to do so, whereas the ability cannot be denied to any human being. But the will is free, it cannot be forced, and people's lower degree of maturity is the reason that the word from above .... divine revelations .... are mostly rejected and only few people accept them happily, whose state of maturity is already higher due to love, who possess the ability to recognize divine wisdom and also make use of it by spreading the truth, by seeking to live out the word themselves and thereby attain ever brighter light .... But that you humans possess an invaluable gift of grace when you accept the word of God, which is offered to you directly by Him, you may believe. You only have to make the right use of the gift by withdrawing the power from it yourselves, with which the father has blessed His word, and by you also offering the treasure of favour to your fellowmen to make them happy, as also you were made happy by the father. All people should only establish the right relationship with Him, they should turn to Him like children and appeal to Him for strength and grace for their earthly way of life .... And truly, they would come to realize, they would kindle and nourish the flame of love within themselves and soon also be receptive to His word, for only love gives them understanding, only through love does the union with the father take place, which then also results in His word. And that is why His word also teaches predominantly love .... For if the human being has love then he has everything .... He receives light and strength, and then he also walks his earthly way as man with success ...._>Amen

Love degree is measure of truth ....

B.D. 8669 from November 10th 1963, taken from Book No. 91

It is My will that the human being should live in love .... because love is the fundamental principle of a divine being and because you humans are to become divine beings again, as which I created you in the beginning. If you fulfil this will of Mine then you will also be obedient children who do not want to grieve the father, who gladly submit to His will, who no longer want anything else like Me, because then they will also have My will in them and can no longer sin .... Love is everything what I demand of you, because then all spiritual blindness softens from you, then you will also always recognize what is worth knowing for you and what helps you that your soul matures. You can believe it that you then also can no longer fall prey to error because love, which fills you, also gives you a clear recognition what has taken its start from Me and what from My opponent. Because love awakens the spirit to life, which rests in you as important part of Myself and which will always impart the right knowledge to you. You men could therefore no longer walk along in error when you would lead a love life .... But if you still think erroneously then you lack love .... You must take this to heart if you ever want to come into possession of pure truth. You will not recognize the truth as such as long as the degree of love still leaves something to be desired .... Because lack of love means darkness; it means lack of knowledge, therefore spiritual blindness, which can only be remedied through a life of love, through unselfish neighbourly love, through overcoming of self-love, which is never divine, but part of My opponent. Again and again the commandments of love are preached to you and again and again the effect of a love life and the terrible consequences of a loveless way of life are presented to you. But as long as you do not take this to heart, you will walk in error, and no matter how eagerly you believe to be in the 'service for the lord' .... which has no value before Me, where a life of love is not the proof that man moves in right, true thinking. The fellow human being should never accept what an unloving person tries to impart to him .... especially when it touches spiritual things which absolutely require a life of love if they are to correspond to truth. The preacher must live in love, but a life of love is also a prerequisite for understanding a sermon. And a right love must express itself in works; it cannot only be assured through words, because love is power, and every power will have an effect. That is why a spiritual connection with Me can only ever be established through loving activity, then the flow of grace of My love will also flow inexorably into the human being, and then a change in his nature will take place, which is the purpose and aim of earthly life .... Then man does not live his life in vain; it brings him perfection .... because the being once gave love voluntarily, and voluntarily it must practice love again to now also be able to be illuminated by Me again, what also helps it to the last perfection, so that it can unite with Me again, as it was the case in its original state. If you men would nevertheless hold up to yourselves the great importance of a love life, then you would also recognize how far fellowmen move in truth, if you only apply the standard to love. You are certainly not to condemn them but seek to help them .... But then you also know what you are allowed to accept from them .... whether truth or error is offered to you, for without love man cannot move in truth .... But love guarantees right thinking, and only a man standing in love is therefore entitled to teach, because I Myself can have an effect in this, I Who am love Myself. But a loving person will never accept or spread error because I Myself prevent him from doing so, for he is already Mine as soon as he has united himself with Me through a life of love, as I have promised with the words: 'He who abides in love abides in Me and I in him ...." Therefore truth must also be there, because I, truth and love are one .... But whether a man lives in love, that you know by his works, whether they are done in all unselfishness only for the neighbour's good or for help or are always only works, which show self-love or calculation .... Then you also have to be on your guard to accept instructions from that one, because then no truth is guaranteed yet, which starts from Me Myself, Who can only ever be there where true love is to be found ...._>Amen

The original debt could not be redeemed by the being itself ....

B.D. 8670 from November 11th 1963, taken from Book No. 91

Through endless long times you had to endure torments for which you lack any concept .... And yet, these torments were not enough to erase the great original sin you had committed by falling away from Me .... through the conscious rebellion against Me .... This sin was not to be blotted out by yourselves, even if eternities were to pass, because you began it .... as you have often been told .... in a state of brightest realization, thus you were able to recognize Me Myself as loving God and creator even though I was not visible to you .... as well as being aware of the fact that you yourselves had come forth from Me .... that you were therefore the same as your creator from eternity and had called love into being for you .... You therefore went against love, you rejected love, which however was your primal element .... You lost everything divine and consciously turned away from Me .... Had you been somehow deficiently formed then your sin would not have been so immeasurably great, but precisely your perfection, which was inherent in you as divine creatures, also let you recognize what you did .... and yet you committed this sin, and the consequence of it was the fall into the abyss, the consequence was the hardening of the spiritual substance, because My love radiation was missing and this substance was now completely incapable of activity, thus it succumbed to death. You knew what you were doing and yet did not shrink from turning against Me .... against the eternal love .... And this guilt was immeasurable and could never be atoned for by the being itself, but it was cause for complete turning away from Me, for a separation, which could no longer be cancelled on the part of the guilty. Only the circumstance that that spiritual that fell away from Me was once emanated power by Me .... thus My part .... caused Me to find and initiate a way which brought My creatures back to Me. For the first time this was the way through creation, that is, the slow awakening to life of the dead, powerless beingness which was not conscious of itself. But this way was not enough, for even if the torments are unthinkable for you men, they were nevertheless no adequate atonement for the great guilt .... But I did not want to give up anything of what was My portion .... And therefore a work of atonement was necessary, which outweighed the exceeding great guilt of sin .... The beings once were blissful and gave up their bliss .... Thus, in order to redeem this great guilt, a being had to voluntarily take the guilt upon Itself, thus, in turn, surrender Its beatitude, yet It did not reject love in defiance but sacrificed Its beatitude out of love for the fallen being, It had to voluntarily take upon Itself an unhappy fate solely for the purpose of helping Its fallen brothers to beatitude. It had to voluntarily divest Itself of light and strength, as those beings had also done .... yet not as a result of lack of love, but as a result and effect of an excessive love .... This being had to take torments and pains upon Itself as man, which were superhuman; It had to let a work come to execution in Itself, which those once fallen beings accomplished through impulse of My opponent at this man. And His great love also requested for these executioner servants the forgiveness of their guilt .... And that man was Jesus, a being of light, which was devoted to Me in all love, which became a cover for Me on earth, in which I Myself could take abode and which I could fill with My love power, so that I therefore embodied Myself in the man Jesus and accomplished the work of redemption in Him. For only love Itself could redeem that guilt, Which only made use of a human form, to which a highest spirit out of the heavens gave life to take upon Itself as man the agonies, which I Myself as God could not suffer .... He and I therefore united completely because I as love from eternity took abode in Him and His human body now offered itself as a sacrifice for the sins of all mankind .... However it is explained to you, you can never fully grasp this My becoming man in Jesus as long as you yourselves still walk over earth as man. But you should know and understand one thing that you will remain eternally separated from Me if you do not accept Jesus' act of salvation, if you do not acknowledge Me Myself in Jesus as your God and father, Who has endured unspeakable suffering in a human form because He wanted to redeem the original sin and enable the fallen beings to return to the father. Why this guilt of apostasy from Me was so great that an own atonement is impossible, that you will also only recognize once you also recognize My immense love in the state of perfection, against which to rebel is the greatest sin a being can ever commit .... And only love Itself could redeem this guilt. And eternal love Itself also did this in the man Jesus, Who therefore also has to be acknowledged as God's son and redeemer of the world, in Whom God Himself became man ...._>Amen

Wretchedness is the fault of free will alone ....

B.D. 8671 from November 12th 1963, taken from Book No. 91

No being gets lost forever. But it can be separated from Me for eternities, thus be in an unhappy state without Me, and you humans lack the understanding for the term 'eternities' .... But once you will surely return to Me .... For I would not be a God of love, wisdom and power if I only wanted to leave one being to My adversary, whose lord I am and who is also a being that has emerged from Me, which will likewise return to Me .... The idea of men therefore .... which is especially represented in the various ecclesiastical organisations .... that a man is eternally condemned by Me, is erroneous, because it contradicts My nature, you then imagine a God of vengeance, you measure with human yardstick, and you concede more power to My adversary, you regard him as an equal opponent of Mine, who through his power can completely snatch the souls from Me, while he himself is nevertheless also My creature, whom I .... despite his greatest guilt .... not destroy, but also lift him up from the depths to Me one day .... You therefore make a wrong idea for yourselves, and as long as you still do not recognize Me right, you will also not show Me the love, which I long for from you and which unites you again with Me. Again and again I emphasize that all harm, all wretchedness, all pain and suffering of people and also of all creatures, must not be attributed to Me Myself .... they must not be regarded as punishment on My part, but you yourselves prepare all these conditions for yourselves through your sinfulness .... be it the sins in earthly life or be it the original sin which burdens every person who does not allow himself to be redeemed through Jesus Christ .... Everything that the creature has to endure in suffering and misery, every unhappiness, is its own fault. It has put itself into this state of suffering through its past or present guilt, and no being can make Me responsible, Who is love in My original being and only does everything or lets it happen what helps you again out of the state of misery, which you have created for yourselves .... You yourselves therefore also determine the time of your wretchedness, for from Me you can return to Me at any time, you can change yourselves at any time so that you would be free of all wretchedness .... But you can also prolong your state of suffering and therefore remain in it for eternities if this is your will. For it is up to you yourselves whom you choose as lord, the one who makes you wretched or Me, Who would like to make you unspeakably happy with My love. But that you once certainly return to Me, that is also based on My love, because love gives up nothing; love does not rest until it has united with the object of its love. But My wisdom also recognizes on which way it reaches this return to Me; My wisdom knows the right means, and My love applies them and will also once be able to record the right success. You men can now certainly make a difference between happiness and wretchedness, and you can step out of the state of wretchedness, but as long as your will, which is free, does not strive for this, you must also bear your lot; but you can also never say that I have imposed this lot upon you, because you alone prepare it for you, and you alone can also free yourselves from it. For as once divine creatures you possess the free will, which I leave to you .... I only bound it for a certain time for your own benefit .... that you became free from the adversary's fetters (and) because I helped you up again from the abyss so that you could now strive for and pursue the return to Me again yourselves in free will, which is now to happen as a human being .... But how you now use this opportunity is again up to you, but now you have the possibility to put an end to the time of wretchedness, which you can call 'eternities'. You can now become free from the fetter of the adversary; you can now exchange the state of wretchedness with an immeasurably blissful state, but which will then no longer come to an end, which lasts forever. It is therefore you yourselves who are responsible for the fate which you endure; you yourselves created this for yourselves, and you can end it, what again your free will has to do that you strive towards the right aim, because only your will is necessary that you also receive the power for it, that you change your nature again to your original being and you then can also look back and see that you were separated from Me for eternities, but now remain eternally intimately united with Me ...._>Amen

Cause of Lucifer's apostasy from God ....

B.D. 8672 from November 13th 1963, taken from Book No. 91

When I called miniatures of Myself into being I was motivated to do so by My infinite love which wanted to give itself away, which wanted to create vessels for itself in order to flow into them .... My love demonstrates itself as strength, and this strength wanted to be creatively active, and thus My creations .... because My strength flowed into these vessels .... likewise had to be creatively active again, for these beings, as images of Myself, had the same intrinsic creative urge which impelled the constantly inflowing strength into activity again, because the strength which emanated from Me as the primary source of strength constantly created life. And thus you will understand that all beings which had come forth from Me were in a state where they knew no restriction in the creation of manifold works, which made them blissfully happy .... but that they, like Me, were not subjected to any restriction either, for My love was infinite, and thus My strength of love flowed into all beings in order to give them pleasure.

Neither did the being's creative activity ever come to a standstill, because My strength had no limitation, it will never spend itself, it will always and forever flow, and thus new creations will eternally arise, just as all My once emanated beings will receive My unlimited strength for creating and shaping as long as they open themselves to Me, i.e., as long as they do not resist My illumination of love. And this blissful state truly would never have needed to end because I, for My part, would never have imposed a restriction on the beings and thus they never needed to fear a lessening of strength either. And yet a change occurred in the beings' greater than blissful state .... caused by a situation which the beings considered to be imperfect: the fact that I Myself, their God and Creator, was not visible to them as a being like themselves, that they indeed knew of Me as their Father from Whom they had originated, but because I did not visibly present Myself to them they looked at it as a limitation of My perfection. They began to entertain wrong thoughts since they did not openly raise this question with Me Myself, which I would have answered so that they could have realised and corrected their wrong notion ....

But they believed they could conceal these inner doubts about My perfection, and yet I knew of them .... However, I did not use coercion but gave their thoughts free rein which they nevertheless misused .... For they also recognised the same doubts about My perfection in the first being I had externalised and whose beauty radiated in supreme brilliance .... For eternities this being had given Me all its love indeed, and in this love it was exceedingly happy and shared My will .... even though its will was also free.

Yet now and then small doubts arose even in this brightly radiating being because it could not see Me either. Nevertheless, time and again its great love for Me suppressed the emerging doubts, and it gave itself to Me finding its beatitude in constantly creating same-natured beings by means of its will and the use of My strength. Yet this doubt about Me kept emerging and he, too, did not put it to Me, which he could have done .... He nourished the doubt so that it became increasingly stronger and reduced his love for Me .... But thereby he also weakened himself since his reduced love for Me also lessened My flow of love and thus restricted his creative activity as well.

Had he been able to see Me it would not have been possible for him to turn away from Me, yet the fire of My love would have consumed him, for no created being is able to look into the primal fire of My love without ceasing to exist .... He knew it, too, because he possessed supremely enlightened awareness, yet he played with the thought to be greater than Me because he radiated in brightest light and supremely perfected beauty .... He could not imagine any being to exceed him in light and beauty, and therefore he also claimed the right to rule over all created beings, whom he undoubtedly had created but the strength to do so he had received from Me. He now saw his power in the host of the spiritual beings and therefore believed himself able to do without My strength, he believed that he had withdrawn it from Me through the creation of the countless beings, and the fact that I did not visibly present Myself to him was regarded by him as evidence of My powerlessness ....

And I did not disillusion him because I had externalised him as a completely free being which I will never ever compel into changing its will and its thinking .... even if he keeps his distance from Me for eternities. Now My strength met with opposition and resistance, and consequently it remained completely ineffective. And now this, My first-created being, is no longer capable of generating any works of creation, yet it believes itself great and powerful because it looks upon the immense number of spiritual beings as his possession, who, like him, had revolted against Me and rejected My illumination of love .... They, too, are incapable of any activity, because they also moved infinitely far away from Me. But it was their free will, which I respect and thus they will remain distant from Me until they voluntarily approach Me again and appeal to Me for My illumination of love .... Even the first-created being .... My present adversary .... will take the path of return to Me one day, sooner or later he, too, will long for My illumination of love again and voluntarily accept it from Me, because one day he will give up his resistance, even if it takes an eternity .... Yet everything that was once emanated by Me as strength will inevitably return to the eternal source of strength again ....

True church service requires a Father-child relationship ....

B.D. 8673 from November 14th 1963, taken from Book No. 91

Many people believe that they think and act religiously, but they lack the right attitude towards Me .... They certainly think of Me as their God and Creator, but not as their Father, and thus they do not establish the relationship of a child to its father. As a result they will not confide in Me in prayer either, they only see the distant almighty God in Me to Whom they are subjected as human beings, and Whom they rather fear than love .... because they are still unable to recognise My true nature.

And again it has to be explained that the degree of a person’s love determines his correct attitude towards Me .... that love will recognise the Father, Who is love Himself, and that the human being will then strive for Me with love and call to Me as My child. Only then can one speak of a person’s ‘religious’ way of life, because this way of life will lead back to Me for sure. But as long I Am still a person’s distant God and Creator Who, due to His might, will have to be feared, there is little prospect that the person will approach Me with love. He will merely fulfil, as a matter of formality, things which are demanded of him by his church. He is only motivated by his upbringing to conduct himself accordingly but this will not guarantee a change of his inner being, which is the purpose and goal of earthly life.

Consequently, if you humans experience heavy strokes of fate they are only intended to make you come alive, to forego mere formality and start thinking more about God, Who created you .... to start pondering why you are living on earth, and then voluntarily surrender yourselves to the power to Which you owe your life: because your indifferent attitude about Me will not result in your spiritual advancement .... However, if you seriously want to know what your God and Creator requires of you during your earthly life you are certain to find out. First of all you should ponder the nature of your God and Creator, and the urge to act with love will be aroused in you .... because this is My voice with which I Am speaking to your conscience and initially making Myself known to you.

By following the voice of your conscience you will come closer to Me, and then you will also establish the kind of connection with Me which corresponds to the relationship between a child and its father .... My gentle voice will always direct you towards actions of love which will bring you the light of knowledge and with it an understanding of My nature, Which is Love Itself .... Then you will leave ‘empty formalities’ behind and become alive in your essence and actions. You will no longer perform formal acts but begin to lead a second life next to your earthly life .... You will have set out on the spiritual path, since due to your new life of love you will be inwardly driven towards Me.

And thus you know that everything which tends towards love, is taught by love and is the activity of love, is good and acceptable to Me. For love is the indicator of truth and also the indicator of a person’s spiritual maturity who, as My representative, wants to lead his fellow human beings to Me. As long as he has no love himself, his 'preaching' will be without strength too; it will be a formal, lifeless service without benefit to anyone because I Myself Am distant from him, since only idle words are spoken which can never reach My ear. Only the close relationship with Me established through love will make your thinking, willing and actions come alive. Only then will you come to life yourselves, because as long as you are without love you are still dead.

And thus, taking part in a 'church service' is always just an external formality, and there can be no question of My presence as long as you humans only believe in a God and Creator but do not find the right attitude towards Me .... First you have to come to the Father as children and trustingly talk to Me, only then can you be sure that I Am close to you. And then your faith will also have come alive, because a ‘child’ will always endeavour to fulfil its Father's will. It will no longer just comply with external formalities but desire My presence with all its heart, which it will certainly also receive.

I only want you to come alive, to abandon useless habits and customs which you were taught to observe, but which are and remain completely worthless for your soul. You will only be able to love Me when you recognise Me as a Father, and only then will you fulfil the purpose of your life on earth .... Only then can you mature, which is always achieved by love alone ....

Amen

Calling upon the 'Holy Spirit' ....

B.D. 8674 from November 15th 1963, taken from Book No. 91

You humans often call the 'Holy Spirit' that it may come upon you, and you are unaware of the fact that it is within you and only requires your free will so as to be able to speak to you .... The spirit is part of Me, it is inseparably connected with the Father-Spirit .... thus it is a divine spark which was added to your soul when it incarnated on this earth as a human being, in other words: you once emerged from Me as an emanation of love and therefore consist of the same fundamental substance as I Myself .... This substance solidified after your past apostasy from Me and you, who once had been full of life, became lifeless beings. For My strength of love permeated you and this strength was only able to be constantly active. However, since you rejected My strength of love it also left you incapable of any kind of activity. And you are still in this weak state when you enter the earth as a human being. In order that you will be able to accomplish the task given to you in your earthly life I radiate a spark of My eternal strength of love into every human heart, which thus is My share again .... You are alive with the once emanated strength and that means that you are in possession of vitality, that you can be active in an earthly way and therefore also comply with your task as a human being .... Your real task, however, is and remains your spiritualisation, the retransformation of your nature into its original state. And you can only accomplish this task if you change yourselves into love .... In order to be able to do that a spark of love has to be radiated into you first, since you, due to your past apostasy from Me, are completely without love. This spark of love is the emanation of Me Myself .... it is the emanation of My spirit into your soul which, however, only awakens you humans into life if you apply your will .... You all possess the spiritual spark, which is part of Me Myself, within you .... Hence it need not come to you anymore, it is inside of you but can only manifest itself if, through a life of love, you provide the possibility for it, because it will not impose itself and influence you against your will in any way .... Therefore you can at all times awaken the spirit in you but you will not be compelled to it.

When you pray for the Holy Spirit to come to you, you demonstrate your lack of knowledge regarding the right correlations, furthermore, you prove that you have a false concept of it, because you personify it to a certain extent and call upon it as an entity .... It is, however, My 'emanation', for I Myself Am the Holy Spirit of eternity, and I Am present to anyone who calls upon Me. However, you must never think that the spirit you call upon is separate from Me, and it will and cannot comply with your call as long as you do not shape yourselves into love, for even if My strength of love is unlimited it will never be able to radiate into a closed heart, and a heart remains unreceptive as long as it is unwilling to love .... since precisely due to the spiritual spark or spark of love it received from Me it is capable of loving .... Willingness to love, however, prompts the spirit to reveal itself to you, even if you don't call upon it expressly .... It is within you but will remain silent as long as you disregard love, because it is love itself and therefore can only speak to love. It is inseparably connected to the eternal Father-Spirit, and therefore enables 'My spirit' .... or the divine fire of love .... to flow into you humans in abundance and thus cause the spiritual spark to continuously educate you from within; for then divine light of love must also illuminate your hearts and that signifies brightest realisation, it signifies the receiving of knowledge which corresponds to the truth, because My spirit knows everything and can therefore only impart the pure truth to you. Therefore you can only ever pray that I Myself may be present to you, but this also requires you to shape yourselves to love, otherwise the Eternal Love cannot be present to you. You can therefore only pray to be granted the strength to fulfil My commandments, then you will always become aware of My presence, for with every work of love you draw Me close to you because I Am Love Itself .... And then I will also work through My spirit in you, as I have promised you ....

Amen

Question: what would have happened had Adam not failed? ....

B.D. 8675 from November 16th 1963, taken from Book No. 91

I want you to ask questions so that I can instruct you truthfully .... For these questions, too, are placed by Me into your heart because I know what you still need, and I want to give you enlightenment. You humans will find it impossible to understand all spiritual correlations down to the last detail as long as you are not yet so perfected that I can completely permeate you with the light of My love which then will also guarantee you the brightest knowledge. Yet I can already inform you beforehand in relation to your intellectual capacity so that you need not fall prey to wrong thoughts and become receptive to misguided teachings: .... The guilt of the beings' which had fallen away from Me was immeasurably huge .... However, it primarily consisted of the fact that they no longer wanted to acknowledge Me despite their state of light which clearly revealed their former origin to them. They sinned against Me in spite of better knowledge. Nevertheless, My love for them was so great that I made their return to Me dependent on their full acknowledgement of Myself and the admission of their guilt of having sinned against Me as their God and Father. But it always has to be emphasised that due to their apostasy My adversary had taken possession of the beings and that they were too weak to release themselves from his power .... Only love could give them the strength to free themselves from him .... Love was the only means which rendered the adversary powerless, only love could conquer him .... Yet the beings had voluntarily renounced love, they repelled My illumination of love and thereby were completely at My adversary's mercy. I, however, gave the first human beings the opportunity to accept love from Me again .... I endowed them with every gift and ability, and they had dominion over the whole earth .... I offered them an infinite measure of love which they merely needed to reciprocate by fulfilling My not too difficult commandment .... By reciprocating My love they, in turn, would have gained a measure of strength with which they could easily have resisted My adversary and released themselves from his bondage, and by fulfilling My will they would also have confessed their past sin .... they would have entered into My will again and every being, living on earth as a human being after them, would have done the same ....

And thus humanity repentantly would have returned to Me within a short time, for Adam's inherent strength as a result of his right kind of love would have transferred itself onto all his descendants, the complete spiritualization of the once fallen beings would have proceeded swiftly, precisely because the first human beings would have recognised their immense original guilt and through heartfelt love for Me would soon have removed it. For a sin against love .... a sin against Me Myself .... could only be cancelled through love again .... And truly, what I bestowed upon the first human beings when they took possession of the earth should have ignited their love into the brightest blaze .... For I only demanded 'love' as an atonement .... which was then .... because Adam and the human generation had failed .... shown to Me by the man Jesus to such an extent that he thereby redeemed the immense guilt .... Only love was able to atone for this guilt. And the first human beings truly could have mustered love, for their surrounding creation offered them incomparable glories which, after the agonizing state of constraint, made them blissfully happy and this beatitude could also have triggered a divine love within themselves, a love which only ever had to give thanks and praise and could have inspired their deeply felt devotion for Me ....

Yet for the sake of testing their will, which previously had been misused, I also had to grant My adversary the right to fight for his followers during their earthly life. And in order to reveal to the first human beings the great danger of a repeated offence against Me I only gave them an easy commandment which they were able to fulfil and had to fulfil if their love for Me was going to be able to reach this said degree which ensured their complete devotion to Me, which totally would have deprived the adversary of his power. He, too, tried everything to bring the first human beings to fall, and thus he opposed My easy commandment with a promise which, however .... because he was My adversary .... consisted of a lie and he impelled the human beings into the wrong kind of love .... He promised them that they would be 'like God' if they transgressed My commandment, he portrayed Me as a liar, since I had announced their death if they disobeyed My commandment .... And people believed him, not Me. And this was the repeated grave sin which also placed all descendants into a state of weakness so that they could no longer liberate themselves from the adversary on their own and which subsequently necessitated Jesus Christ's act of Salvation, if people were to one day be delivered from utmost adversity ....

Time after time I emphasize that only love was able to atone this immense guilt, that Adam would indeed have been able to demonstrate this love to Me but that due to his fall and after his fall no being was capable anymore to muster the kind of love which would guarantee the redemption of the immense original sin .... and that the loving act of redemption therefore had to be accomplished by Me Myself, Who manifested Himself in the human being Jesus ....

Thus the human being Jesus had an abundance of divine love, and in His love He suffered the sacrificial death on the cross, because no human being would have been able to return to Me without this act of Salvation, because My adversary will not release any soul and on its own it is too weak to liberate itself from him .... And because I have known since eternity that the first human being would fail, Jesus .... God's only begotten Son .... offered Himself for this act of Salvation, and He accomplished it because His love for Me and for all wretched souls was beyond measure ....

Amen

Purification of Christ's spoilt teaching ....

B.D. 8676 from November 17th 1963, taken from Book No. 91

The reason for the present transmission of My Word by which I send the pure truth to earth is the very spoilt teaching that is proclaimed on earth as the doctrine of Christ .... It is no longer the pure Gospel as brought by Me through Jesus to the people .... His Words have been subjected to many changes, a lot is no longer understood properly and much is also misinterpreted .... Over a period of time the Word, which is described as 'My Word', has caused differences of opinions which resulted in divisions amongst those who campaigned for the truth of their own points of view .... Words with a spiritual meaning were interpreted in a worldly sense, and people hold on to this tenaciously because they simply cannot understand the spiritual meaning any longer. The result is a structure of faith whose teachings completely diverge from what I Myself brought to the people when I lived on earth .... As a result many people are no longer spiritually approachable at all because their intellect refuses to accept teachings which they regard as obvious error, which has indeed crept into the truth and which is now only upheld as truth by fanatics .... Such a distorted doctrine has to be purified if it is to be of any benefit for people's souls.

Hence this intention is the basis for My new direct revelation, which can be recognised as divine revelation by every willing person. But only the willing person will accept and acquire the pure truth again, and he will be able to see how and where humanity was moved by misconception until now. However, even this process of transmitting the pure truth .... of correcting misguided teachings .... can only be accomplished in a completely normal way. No unusual signs may decisively or forcefully influence the faith of other human beings .... Consequently, this task is not associated with strange phenomena, the transmission from above takes place in a most natural manner whereby a person hears with his spiritual ear what I Myself tell him and he transcribes My Word as he receives it from Me. Thus there is available evidence now and the person cannot be wrongly accused of confusion, self-deception or a deliberate literary work with the intention of deceiving or startling other people. The process of receiving spiritual messages cannot be denied because there is written evidence for it. And yet every individual human being has the option to accept it as credible or to reject it in order to retain his religious liberty.

However, the misguided spiritual knowledge which has crept into people's thoughts urgently needs to be examined and exposed as wrong and useless or dangerous for the development of the soul .... Because error can never lead to Me, the eternal truth .... As a result, the majority of people are taking the path which leads away from Me, and these people shall receive clarification, providing they want it and are willing to accept it .... And this task by the person I have chosen will be supported by Me in every way, because it is a necessary work to combat My adversary's activity, who will always fight the truth by seeking to contaminate it with error in order to prevent people from attaining the light of understanding. Therefore I will indeed bless everyone who contributes to this important work by wanting to spread the spiritual knowledge, conveyed to earth by Me, among his fellow human beings. For truth is a light which should shine for all who want to take the right path to Me, to their Father of eternity, Who can, however, never be found by way of misguided teachings .... For this reason war has to be declared on error, as well as on the one who has brought error into the world. And yet, truth will only gain entry into human hearts where there is a desire for it .... Because this desire proves that they also desire Me Myself and want to become free from the one who would like to keep them in spiritual darkness .... They shall receive the pure truth, and therefore the teaching of Christ as it is currently preached to people shall be cleansed, and My uncontaminated Word shall be made accessible to people once again, so that they can become blessed, because only truth comes from Me and only truth leads back to Me again ....

Amen

Warning about additional foreign teaching material ....

B.D. 8677 from November 18th 1963, taken from Book No. 91

When you yourselves stand in the favour to be taught by Me directly, then do not let yourselves be misled through fellowmen, who want to teach you and bring something to you, what has not already been sent to you by Me Myself. There is divine truth, and this will never contradict itself, and if you are now instructed through My spirit, you need no additional instructions on the part of fellowmen, and you are also to repel them, so that your thinking does not get into confusion, what is the aim of My opponent, on whose suggestion also the fellowman wants to express himself towards you. You know it .... or it has often already been told to you .... that the fight of darkness against the light already exists for eternities and that it will also still exist for eternities, that again and again My opponent will try to enforce truth with error, and that there is therefore only one guarantee for the possession of pure truth: when you receive it directly from Me or you receive spiritual material through My messengers, which went out from Me directly and is supplied to you unchanged .... As soon as a man values his own intellect too highly and believes that he first has to explain to fellowmen the spiritual material that has gone out from Me, he overestimates himself, and already the opponent finds a slippage into his thinking, and pure truth is endangered. When you know about all connections, when you know in what spiritual darkness consists and who alone stands in the light .... then you also know that the origin of truth can only be with Me Myself, and you should now look for every opportunity to let yourselves be instructed by Me directly, for this happens both directly as well as indirectly when the word directly conveyed to earth is passed on and accepted unchanged .... Then it is always guaranteed that man moves in truth, in right thinking, and then he is to value the spiritual good highly and protect it from every distortion .... And if the fellow human being himself is of the will to move in pure truth, then his thinking will also be guided correctly, and he will never seek to weave in wrong thought material .... which, however, is easily the case if he overestimates his own intellect and takes a purely intellectual stance on the truth conveyed to him .... Then spiritual arrogance can easily lead to that his thinking gets confused and the opponent can influence him to want to teach again for his part, and now also the danger exists that he imparts wrong teaching material, if the receiver does not have such a strong desire for truth that he rejects wrong thought material, that he inwardly fights against it, because I protect his thinking from error. As soon as a man has a strong awareness of validity (need), he wants to be leader in every way, and then he also often presumes to want to impose his own thinking on fellowmen, which however then also cannot correspond to truth, because self-arrogance always gives the opponent shelter. You, who are now directly instructed by Me, you should close your ears if a fellow human being tries to 'instruct' you .... For I Myself take it upon Myself to instruct you, and I do not need a human being for this, even if he has an intellect as sharp as it is, and therefore you should only accept what I give to you, for I know if and when your knowledge is to be extended and in what way. You will also mostly feel an inner resistance towards humanly conveyed instructions to you, and then this is always an inner warning which you should heed, for the truth conveyed to you by Me is to be protected from human accessories. For I Myself will not instruct a fellow human being to apply his intellectual thinking where I Myself convey purest truth to earth. But I Myself will seek to fill every gap in knowledge where I consider this necessary, and that is why questions will be raised again and again .... For you are all allowed to ask if you humans are serious about receiving the right answer .... And I Myself will always be prepared to give you the answer so that you can also be certain of its truth. Because you will always have to admit that men can err, but not eternal truth itself. That is why you will always do well to only accept Me Myself as your teacher, for what you possess, who are taught by Me directly, can only be owned by the fellow human being who likewise lets himself be taught by Me directly, who only ever asks Me for purest truth. And this one will therefore also stand in the same thinking with you, and you will not need to be instructed by him, because then there will also be no opposing views between you, but as being in possession of the pure truth from Me .... can establish full agreement. A fellow human being can certainly have great knowledge at his disposal, which he has acquired intellectually, but in order to stand spiritually in the sole truth, not the sharpness of the intellect is enough, but a wide-open heart, into which the light out of Me, the eternal truth, can pour itself .... And where I find such a heart there will also be pure truth, which again only I Myself can expand, according to the degree of maturity of the soul, which must be in most intimate contact with Me in order to now also be directly instructed and initiated by Me into My eternal plan of salvation, in order to now also be able to guide this pure truth there, where hearts open again in love in order to receive the truth .... the light of knowledge .... because only truth leads you humans back to Me from where you once originated ...._>Amen

The most important commandment has to be fulfilled: Love ....

B.D. 8678 from November 19th 1963, taken from Book No. 91

You, who want to serve Me, will repeatedly be reminded of the immense spiritual darkness which necessitates My Gospel to be carried into the world, which alone is the true light that can penetrate the darkness providing it is offered in all purity, just as it once originated from Me and is now conveyed to you from above to earth again. For only truth is the true light .... but what became spoilt will only ever intensify the darkness. However, the reason why the darkness is so extensive is because many lies and errors were added to the spiritual knowledge which guaranteed the most brightly shining light when it came forth from Me.

And so it is necessary that people are correctly instructed, that they receive clarification about areas which so far were closed to them or were not truthfully brought to light. It is only important that people change their nature to love, that they overcome their selfish love and change it into selfless neighbourly love .... And this important teaching, the fulfilment of My commandment of love, was placed into the background whereas other teachings came to the forefront and people's endeavours were pushed in the wrong direction. Commandments are being observed and fulfilled which are utterly immaterial and don't lead to any kind of advancement for the soul. And love is being put aside which simultaneously means that the light cannot shine brightly, that it only glows faintly .... that people's realisation, their knowledge of truth, is therefore poor .... that they exist in a spiritually darkened state, that they have an entirely wrong view of life, that they only ever strive for material possessions because no inner light is shining for them, which can only be kindled by love.

If all preachers preached nothing else but love .... if people were only ever encouraged to give up their selfish love and practise selfless neighbourly love .... truly, then they would also live in the light of realisation, they would recognise the irrelevance of earthly commodities, they would establish the right kind of relationship as of a child to its Father, for all this results in selfless, divine love .... Instead people are given misguided teachings, they are obliged to perform deeds and customs which can only be valued as external formalities and can never result into changing the state of the soul, because I only value what results in a living relationship with Me .... and this living bond with Me can only be established through kind-hearted activity. And therefore I will continue sending My messengers into the world to proclaim the Gospel of love to people .... And I Myself will always convey the pure Gospel to you who want to accept it and pass it on .... For by way of divine love, which you ought to practise, you will attain a living faith, you will arrive at the inner certainty that I Am close to you and that you can associate with Me directly. And by way of the light, which was kindled in you by love, you will also receive the kind of knowledge which corresponds to the truth, you will no longer live your earthly life in a blind state but possess truthful knowledge regarding the reason for your life on earth and the goal you are supposed to reach .... hence also regarding the earthly task you ought to fulfil.

And as soon as you know the truth you will also achieve spiritual progress, your earthly life will not be in vain, you will become more and more perfect .... which, however, is only the result of receiving the pure truth from Me. And this is what you much search for and desire, then you will also partake of it .... Then you will always be considered by Me, and then My adversary will have lost all claim on you, as soon as your nature has changed itself into love again, as you were in the beginning ....

Amen

God is the source of light and power from eternity ....

B.D. 8679 from November 20th 1963, taken from Book No. 91

From Me alone the light goes out, because I alone am the source of light and power from eternity. And everything that exists was created out of My strength and filled with My light, which is the emanation of My infinite love .... And so you can also say love, light and power is one .... love, light and strength have their origin in Me, because I Myself am love, light and strength in My primal element .... But you, too, as My created beings, are the same in your original substance, for My divine strength of love could only emanate the same, which was only formed as a being, because I Myself am also a being Which has a thinking will .... In view of My highest perfection this awareness would crush you, because as a human being or imperfect being you are unable to grasp such, for you voluntarily stepped out of the former perfection in which I created you and are therefore no longer able to grasp that for which highest perfection is required. Your thinking ability is limited; the power of knowledge, as it were, is weakened; love as well as light and power are considerably weakened, which once was unlimitedly your share .... But it is always at your disposal .... So you yourselves can again acquire light and power, as soon as you ignite and nourish love .... the principle of divine order .... and nourish it, as this is your destiny as long as you are still imperfect, so that you will attain perfection again in order to be able to be permeated by My love, My light and My strength again without limitation. I am always the origin, and therefore the contact with Me is absolutely necessary that you can be filled by love-light and power .... But as man you cannot measure what happiness My radiating through with divine love-power gives you; you do not know about the exceedingly great feeling of happiness, which My direct supply of love-light and power guarantees you .... And that is why you make no or little effort to establish the close bond with Me in order to be able to partake of this immense bliss. You live indifferently because you are completely unaware of your own shortcomings as well as of your earthly task, your aim and your affiliation to Me, which you should only acknowledge yourselves so that it will be realized and earn you My rays of love. And even if the knowledge about it is conveyed to you, it appears to be little credible to you, and it does not fit into your world view, which is more familiar to you and to which you pay all attention .... And yet, everything that surrounds you earthly is only an illusion .... But real is your state of soul in its spiritual misery, which however can be remedied exactly through supply of love power and light, through union with Me, the original source, out of Which My love power current flows incessantly and only needs your free will to also be able to flow through you, so that you can feel a happiness, which you then certainly no longer want to give up, because it already means the intimate contact with Me, without which the love power transmission can never take place. You men are always to consider that I alone am the source and always only this source has to be sought out through conscious acknowledgement and call of Him, Who gave you life and Who also constantly wants to make you happy with His love power and light expression, only needs your free will to now also be able to work on you. You are to know that this is your aim in life and your task, to again cancel a separation, which you accomplished voluntarily, and therefore voluntarily again unite with eternal love Itself, so that It can now also again radiate through you with light and power, to prepare happiness for you. For once you yourselves were full of light and strength and therefore also blissful .... And so you also are to become again, because as man you are formed deficiently, you lack power and light, because you lack love, My divine radiation, which you once voluntarily rejected .... And what this rejection of My strength of love meant for the beings once emanating from Me you can already determine by your deficient state alone, for it is both the light .... your knowledge and realization .... as well as your strength is severely limited .... as human beings you are very imperfect creatures until you willingly turn to the eternal source of light and strength again and ask for the flow of His love, which truly will not be denied to you because this is also My aim from eternity, to permeate everything that once came forth from Me with the flow of My love in order to make it blissfully happy to an inconceivable degree .... For only in light and power can you lead a happy life, and light and power will again and again offer and supply you with My love, for light and power are the epitome of beatitude .... They are the evidence of My endless love, which applies and will apply to all My creatures until all eternity ...._>Amen

Following Jesus: Bearing the cross ....

B.D. 8680 from November 21st 1963, taken from Book No. 91

You will always cross the bridge to the spiritual kingdom if you follow Jesus, the divine Redeemer, Who established this bridge for you humans and walked the path before you. He Himself bridged this broad gulf between the earth and the spiritual kingdom through His act of Salvation, He walked the most arduous and painful path to the cross and thereby built the bridge into the kingdom of light .... which can be crossed by every human being and will always lead to the right goal ....

The path of following Jesus has to be taken, that is, just as He had accepted all suffering out of love for the wretched human race so the human being, too, has to take the path of love and suffering, he has to endeavour to follow Him in order to purge his soul .... even though the human being Jesus had taken all the guilt of His fallen brothers upon Himself and thus the immense original sin was redeemed through the crucifixion, through the act of Salvation .... His soul can only be cleansed and purified through love and suffering, and it has to accomplish this purging while still on earth if it wants to achieve the degree of light which guarantees its happiness. For the human being lives on earth in order to free his soul from all impurities, from all vices and longings, weaknesses and bad habits, which still cling to you as a result of your past apostasy, which it should and will be able to shed if it patiently travels the earthly path in suffering and makes an effort to live a life of love. For love is the most assured means of purification, love dissolves all impurities and layers which still burden a soul. And suffering .... humbly endured .... is likewise suitable to crystallise the soul, which then will become receptive to light and translucent when it enters the realm of the beyond.

For this reason Jesus spoke the Words 'Whosoever will come after Me, let him take up his cross ....' No human being will be entirely spared suffering, even if the weight of burden varies with each person. Yet earthly life is not the ultimate fulfilment, it is only ever a preparatory stage for the true life in the spiritual kingdom .... And any load the soul is still burdened with on earth can only raise its beatitude in the beyond, providing it is humbly endured as God's will. Thus the human being shall take the path of following Jesus of his own free will .... He himself has to want that his soul should attain greater maturity on earth, he consciously has to decide to follow Jesus, he also has to acknowledge His act of Salvation and make use of it for himself. For no earthly existence, no matter how sorrowful, will ever help the soul to achieve perfection if the human being does not acknowledge Jesus, if he does not make use of His act of Salvation and its blessings, if he does not believe in Him and the fact that it was God Himself Who accomplished the act of Salvation in the man Jesus. Then his earthly path can be as wretched as anything, but he will not derive any benefit from it for his soul, for he did not voluntarily 'follow Jesus' ....

However, the more you humans are filled with love the less you will be weighed down by suffering, for love is the best means of release, the fire of love will dissolve the soul's every layer, it will melt away everything that is unclean and hardened, love will achieve the soul's purification within a short time, and the extent of suffering can be reduced where love is already dealing with the soul's purification process ....

And therefore the human being will have to be of service to a large extent in order to express his love, for love impels people to be active, and as soon as it thus unselfishly applies to another person the human being will constantly perform labours of love, and then he will travel the path of following Jesus, Who time and again was likewise impelled by love to accomplish helpful acts, Who aimed to alleviate his fellow human being's suffering and distress and used remarkable strength in order to help his fellow human beings.

And thus a constant willingness to help will be the path that follows Jesus, because it demonstrates love, which can only ever have a beneficial effect, both for the provider as well as for the one who accepts the help .... For love is the most Powerful, the Divine, which has to lead to the soul's perfection without fail, which has to purge a soul and make it receptive to light .... love is the final objective on earth, because it leads to unification with the Eternal Love, because it restores the original state of the created being and therefore also guarantees supreme bliss, which the being then finds in closest unity with its God and Father of eternity, from Whose love it once emerged ....

Amen

Ego consciousness state in free will ....

B.D. 8681 from November 22nd 1963, taken from Book No. 91

You receive your free will, as well as you as an I-conscious being .... as a human being .... go over the earth and also enter the kingdom of the beyond with this self-awareness .... Only in the time of your change through the creation of earth is your will bound, and also the I-consciousness lacks you, because you were dissolved into innumerable little particles, which have only gathered again in the stage as man, which also has triggered the I-consciousness of an individual being in you. So then you are also again in possession of free will, and you will now also keep it, no matter what degree of maturity your soul can register on earth or in the hereafter. And free will in you can bring about everything; it can again lead your soul to highest perfection, as it once plunged the being into deepest depths and the being was not prevented from what its will strived for. But will is the sign of divine origin; it is the sign that the creature was and is a divine being, even if it still moves in a very low degree of maturity. Free will can strive endlessly far from God, and it can again seek and establish the most intimate connection with Him, and it is in no way forced from God, but can also not be forced on the part of the opponent, why therefore every direction of will determines the being itself and therefore also creates its own state or degree of maturity itself. This is therefore also the reason for the difference of beings, the difference of men on earth and also of souls in the kingdom on the other side. Because every soul forms itself according to its will, which can cause both highest happiness as also deepest misery for it and is never inevitably directed differently, as it determines the soul itself. When God gave life to the beings, He put them out as something free independent apart from Himself .... And that also meant that every being itself could develop its will, because without free will no divine creature could be thought, which itself embodied life .... Only when it had misused its will did it thereby also surrender its 'life', it became dead works to which all wanting was impossible, which now had to submit to a higher will because it had lost 'life' through the misuse of its will and now first had to come to a certain degree of life again through the will of God .... It now became active according to divine will, thus it was under a certain law of compulsion, yet always with the aim to regain free will and then to use it right, i.e. according to divine will .... Only this aim, to once again live according to God's will in free will, to subordinate free will to divine will, is to be pursued by man on earth .... who is therefore again in possession of free will .... According to this aim he is to live and seek to achieve it, and he will again become a divine being in all perfection, for the alignment of his own free will with God's will means return to Him Who once gave life to the human being and his soul .... It means equal willing and thinking, equal love and bliss with God .... It means that the former 'creature' of God has become His 'child', because it has made right use of free will and has therefore shaped itself to love, which requires free will, to which the soul itself had to give the right direction of aim to come to eternal life in bliss, to reach the adoption as a child of God, which guarantees the most blissful lot to a being. As work it was once created, but had to form itself to a child of God, for which free will was first precondition. You therefore had to accomplish something your God and creator could not give: acquire divine perfection in free will, certainly with the support of your God and creator, however not driven to it by His power. The love in you had to be so strong that it felt drawn towards your creator and sought to unite with Him. For profound love also enters into the will of God of its own accord; the being which is full of love is in the same will with God .... The will subordinates itself to God and yet is not determined by God to submit itself to Him .... it remains free and will also eternally remain free, because the highest aim which God has striven for since the 0beginning is and will remain that the being freely gives love to Him out of itself and reciprocates His great love, which makes itself and all beings happy without limit for all eternity ...._>Amen

God's assurance of assistance to the vineyard workers ....

B.D. 8682 from November 23rd 1963, taken from Book No. 91

Your whole life, your fate, everything still lies in My hand, and as I consider it good for your soul, so also your earth life will take place, so that you can devote yourselves to Me fully trusting and then also no day will be lived in vain, which you stay on earth. You certainly have free will, according to which you can shape your earth life yourselves, but how your own doing and wanting has an effect, both on your soul as well as in earthly relationship, that is again and again determined by Me, because I recognize it, in which way a benefit can arise for you. But your will is always determining, how every event, every thought has an effect on yourselves. What you now undertake for Me and My kingdom, how you make use of the time as loyal servants in My vineyard, that will also carry its blessing in it, because it is truly the most important task, which you can make for your purpose in life, because your and innumerable souls' lot in the spiritual kingdom depends on it and you can never earthly gain the same successes for your souls. And again and again I tell you that I will bless your work and always help you that you can carry it out, and no matter how unfeasible it still seems to you .... I still have all means at My disposal to make even the impossible possible, and with this trust in My help you should approach everything that serves the well-being of your fellow human beings. Because you are not allowed to disregard one thing that you have a divine gift of favour at your disposal, a spiritual good, which you receive directly from Me. And when I give you such a gift of favour then it will certainly also be possible for Me to help you with its spreading, and I will also be able to dissolve apparent resistances and difficulties when you just believe in My power and My love. But every timid thought is lack of faith .... But you are to consider that I do not send you a gift of favour of highest value and highest effectiveness without purpose, but It wants itself that this is spread, that it is supplied to all those who are accessible to you and open for it. And that is why you can tackle everything with full confidence in My sure help, what contributes to the spreading of My word. And you are also not to hold back or let yourselves be put off by objections or by failure of fellowmen, because I want to give double power to those who need such, because they want to serve Me .... Every hindrance is the work of My opponent, and through him you are not to let yourselves be confused or held back, but always only trust in Me that I have promised you My help and also stand by My word. Who sacrifices much to Me, he will also experience much blessing, but you are not to be anxious; you are to believe in Me that I take over all your worries and regulate everything for you, as soon as you serve Me according to all your powers and out of love towards Me and fellowmen, who are still to be rescued through you before the end. And so that you believe in Me, I will also give you signs .... Evidence of My love, which will make you draw ever closer to Me and you will feel My presence and thus your faith will also be strengthened. For I do not want to lose you as My co-workers; I want you to work ever more diligently, and truly, your reward will be no small one day in the spiritual kingdom. However, I also do not want you to be prepared to serve Me only for the sake of reward. For the work for Me and My kingdom will only be a blessing if selfless, divine love is the driving force, for love also contains the strength which is intended to help the souls to ascend. Only that will ever be successful what is done in pure, unselfish love, and I Myself will always give My blessing to it .... And when I Myself promise you My support, then you are truly allowed to undertake everything without hesitation, to which the heart drives you. Believe it that I Myself am always with you, you who work in My vineyard, that I as house father assign the work to My servants Myself and am pleased with every loyal servant, who follows all My instructions and serves Me devotedly. And I will also truly not let this one get into a trouble, be it earthly or spiritually, because as long as he lives on earth I will also cover his earthly needs; I will direct everything so that he can follow the spiritual work undisturbed, and I will also give him the power to be active for Me and My kingdom ...._>Amen

Effect of free will .... Sudden death ....

B.D. 8683 from November 24th 1963, taken from Book No. 91

Even world events proceed according to My divine will. Although human will is the driving force I nevertheless knew people's will an eternity ago and direct the outcome according to My wisdom, so that, in the final analysis, everything can contribute towards the souls' perfection as long as they don't openly reject it, that is, deliberately strive downwards due to their association with My adversary. For every event can have positive as well as negative effects, every event can be experienced by one person .... i.e. his soul .... as helpful, whereas for another it can be an obstacle towards higher development. I, however, know the outcome and therefore allow the human will its freedom. But the consequences have to be accepted by people again who seemingly had no part in it, nevertheless they, too, have to suffer such strokes of fate in order to mature fully .... Everything is known to Me for eternity, and My plan of Salvation was based on people's free will .... And human will sometimes causes confusion on a huge scale, the consequences of which must be endured again by the human race .... For as soon as divine order is ignored, chaos is the inevitable result, and people will subsequently have to suffer under this chaos. Yet it is the time of the end where almost no-one lives in divine order anymore, where only a small part of humanity endeavours to live according to My divine will, while all others transgress the law of order and thus a state of lawlessness is recognisable which results in lack of peace, hatred, hostile conflicts against each other and totally disorderly situations, in all sorts of miserable conditions .... For calmness and peace cannot reign where spirits of darkness are evoked through actions adverse to God .... there can be no happiness and no order where love does not exist, and love has grown cold among people. The prince of darkness incessantly impels people into acts of hatred and unkindness, and only ever greater misery can come out of it .... even if it is kept hidden from the general public it will nevertheless be recognised by every person who still wants to abide by the laws of eternal order.

However, I have also designated an end to this behaviour by people, to their sinfulness, which is expressed by their activities, for soon the time will be fulfilled, and soon everyone will have to reveal their own attitude and justify himself for his innermost feeling, for the time will soon expire which was granted to My adversary and which he has truly used well .... The eternal order will soon be established again as it was promised in Word and Scripture. Many shocking events will still take place before the end, people will be subjected to many rude awakenings and become conscious of the fact that every day could be their last .... and good for him who lives his earthly life appropriately. Nevertheless, My messengers will always inform them of what the human race can still expect .... Time and again My obvious activity will be pointed out to people, which could provide them with the evidence of a Power Which is in charge of everything, Which directs everything according to Its will, but without excluding people's will. Yet you humans can certainly take actions, in a good or a bad way .... but the effects of your actions are determined by Me, as I Am aware of all people's will and therefore always protect those of good will, even if they are plunged into greatest anguish through human will .... In that case, it will only be a blessing for their souls, and one day they will recognise My guidance and nevertheless be thankful to Me for the arduous destiny imposed upon them. However, you should always bear in mind that I will never enslave the human being's will, that every person can think and want at his own discretion, but that every person must also accept the consequences of his will, that one day every person must give account of his will, regardless of the outcome of the implemented action. And My permissions are indeed justified, even if you are unable to understand this because you know that I Am not lacking the power to stop another person from implementing his will. I, however, have a view over every person's progress of life, I know his maturity of soul and I know, what can still serve him to raise the latter .... I also want to confront every person with their own death, which no-one can avoid when it approaches him. And if I merely achieve that it reminds all people of the fact that they, too, can pass away at any minute, it is already an achievement for the individual person's soul. It is an approach by Myself, it is My direct intervention in his thoughts, which he then will certainly be able to direct according to his will but which can also lead him to the right path, because I leave no stone unturned in leading people onto the right path and because I alone know the right means in order to still achieve small successes, to gain a few souls before the end, which is not far away anymore ....

Amen

The final powerful work of destruction .... I.

B.D. 8684 from November 25th 1963, taken from Book No. 91

Even if you are constantly made aware of the end your faith in it is nevertheless not alive enough to seriously prepare yourselves for it .... You are facing such an extraordinary event that it is difficult for you to believe since nothing remotely similar has ever taken place as far as you can ascertain from the past. The individual periods of Salvation are so long, and besides, it is My wise intention that you should not be able to estimate the interval between the beginning and end of such an epoch and that you should lack all knowledge in this regard. For even what you think you can ascertain by way of research is not reliable information, it will always remain unverifiable assumption. And thus the forthcoming work of destruction, which will totally change the earth's surface, will indeed affect the whole of the earth, yet it will only be consciously experienced by the few who, as the root of the new human generation, will be carried away before the end. And they will in fact still remember the old earth, however, the new period will start so entirely differently that people will soon get used to living in a completely new world and thus their thoughts utterly distance themselves from the events on the old earth .... It will only affect them like a dream since the new earth will present them with entirely different problems because they are spiritually minded and only ever try to come closer to Me. Worldly thoughts will dwindle, but the spirit will already be remarkably active and the souls will attain a high degree of maturity, so that, to a certain extent, they will have reached their earthly goal already and be in contact with the inhabitants of the kingdom of light although they will still live in their physical bodies.

What you are told in this respect is completely incomprehensible to you humans on this earth, yet it is the truth and therefore you are repeatedly informed that the time has come when you can expect unusual happenings, because events will happen thick and fast in the end and only a specific degree of maturity will assure people the strength to cope with what is to come and thus survive the last days in conscious unity with Me and the certainty that I will support them no matter what happens. Significant events of all kinds will always be caused by people themselves even if a direct cause is not perceptible, yet only I know what people's souls need .... And unusual occurrences will have to happen in the end in order to galvanise people .... And yet, all these events can be called negligible compared to the large work of destruction which will befall earth when the time comes for the lawful order to be restored in accordance with My will. Nevertheless, only the people carried away by Me and before whose eyes everything will take place will be able to watch the full extent of the destruction work .... and only because they shall realise their God and Creator's might and also experience the truth of My Word ....

Yet prior to this many an event will still frighten people and only for the sake of directing your thoughts towards the One to Whom all Power is given and at whose mercy everyone is .... And truly, every human being who is still called away from earth before the end may consider himself blessed, for he will not meet the dreadful judgment of the new banishment which, however, can be expected by everyone who does not belong to My Own .... to those whom I will carry away from this earth, as I announce to you time and again .... You humans cannot give credence to such an occurrence either, because no previous incident of that nature can be verified and because people will not allow for anything that contradicts natural laws. Yet He Who gave these natural laws can truly also revoke them, for nothing is impossible for Him, especially when it concerns establishing a new order again so as to safeguard the further development of all spiritual beings. This is why you should faithfully accept everything that is imparted to you through My Word .... You should believe that everything is possible for Me and that I will also use My might in the end because I want to repeal My adversary .... For his time is over, and he has really made good use of it to the detriment of what also belongs to Me .... And for the sake of these spiritual beings I will let new creations arise which will receive the spirits which had failed their last test of will on earth, for I always have the salvation of all spiritual beings at heart. And even if you find it impossible to recognise My love in all forthcoming events .... one day you will be able to understand it and then you will acknowledge the greater than great love, wisdom and might of the One Who wants to deliver you from the abyss but Who will let you keep your free will so that you will be able to become perfect as your Father in heaven is perfect ....

Amen

The final powerful work of destruction .... II.

B.D. 8685 from November 26th 1963, taken from Book No. 91

Great events cast their shadows before them .... And thus the final powerful work of destruction affecting the earth will be preceded by ever more distressing events, what happens to a lesser degree in many places will finally happen to the whole earth .... with the difference that the previous divinely intended natural disasters will horrify people, whereas the final work of destruction on earth will be triggered by human will, thus people will initiate the end themselves .... on the one hand by involving themselves in all kinds of tests and experiments and on the other hand by their increasingly firmer connection with God's adversary who impels them to do so because he himself is incapable of destroying works which emerged through God's will .... You humans will be kept in constant suspense, for the day which brings everything to an end because a new earth period will start, comes ever closer .... And every frightful event is intended to wake you up, for you are truly sleep walking, you don't see and realise anything because you don't want to see or realise anything. You are in grave danger of becoming lost again for an infinitely long time, and yet you could avert this danger if you were genuinely interested in your salvation.

However, regardless of what is yet to happen, only individual people will derive benefit for their soul, whilst the majority takes notice of everything, gets upset about it and then lapses into its state of sleep again, and nothing changes in their way of life, in their attitude towards God, for He is distant to them and they won't look for close contact with Him as long as their earthly life still seems bearable to them. Yet a state of calm will not return anymore, one piece of bad news will follow the other, and even the adversary's activity will become clearly evident, the separation of the goats from the sheep will become ever more distinctly noticeable. People will soon demonstrate that they pursue two different goals: people who still seriously try to find God and those who deny Him and aim to completely exclude Him from their lives. And the latter will treat the former with hostility and oppress them, for they will be in the majority whereas the believers will always be the weaker ones, yet they only outwardly yield to the superior numbers whilst always receiving strength from God in order to withstand the adversary's demands to renounce their faith .... For soon the last battle of faith will erupt and that will also be the beginning of the final phase, which will be closely followed by the end .... But due to people's low spiritual level such upsetting events cannot be avoided, everything will still be tried on the part of God to motivate people to think, and the proximity of death will be brought home to them over and over again ....

By way of destruction through the forces of nature they will be shown that everything is transient and be encouraged by any means to form an opinion about all happenings, for they shall be shaken out of their lethargy and motivated to reflect on the possible reasons for all occurrences .... And even people who are not directly affected themselves can nevertheless observe their fellow human beings' fate and form their own opinion .... Whatever it takes will still be done on the part of God which could result in some success .... Yet generally everything will be looked at from an earthly point of view, earthly disadvantages will be discussed .... but the fact that everything has its spiritual reasons will be ignored and therefore only little spiritual success will be gained .... Even so, you are told in advance that you will repeatedly be shaken up, you shall know that everything is planned for eternity and that nothing is without meaning and purpose even if you don't recognise it. Observe the cosmic events and heed world events .... And know that there are no coincidences in earthly life, that everything is determined or permitted by God's will because He also knows the results of what He sends upon earth and humankind. For He holds the reigns and knows how to steer them according to divine wisdom.

Try to understand God's language, for you only need good will to subordinate yourselves to His will, hence you should only ever try to derive benefit for your souls from everything that happens around yourselves, but don't remain indifferent, for God always wants to tell you something when your heart and mind are affected by extraordinary events .... Listen to His soft voice and don't let anything pass you by without impression, take notice of the signs of the last days which shall be your indication that the time has come which has always been mentioned .... And believe that you don't have much time left until the end and that everything will come to pass as it is written .... that the old earth will pass away and a new one will arise .... For the time is fulfilled and thus the divine plan of Salvation will be implemented as it has been planned for eternity ....

Amen

Various schools of thought .... Pretended worship ....

B.D. 8686 from November 27th 1963, taken from Book No. 91

It is just like the time when Christ descended to earth .... People's thoughts are just as confused, they advocate the same misguided teachings, they believe to possess the sole truth and yet they are living right in the midst of falsehood .... Now, as then, they uphold their hollow creeds even though all vary from each other, each creed endorses its own point of view and each one is convinced that it can lay claim to the truthfulness of its teachings. And the number of schools of thought has grown considerably, there are not just a few opposing each other but a great variety of opinions has created a great variety of faith communities which all endeavour to win supporters and fanatically insist on the doctrines they endorse .... Hence it is essential that people receive the truth, that they at last learn what God expects from people .... It is essential that God's will is revealed to them so that they learn to recognise that the fulfilment of His will is the meaning and purpose of life on earth .... However, every church or spiritual movement teaches that it proclaims God's will and still the various creeds differ. At the time of Christ's descent to earth people prided themselves just like today on practicing various customs, the divine service was fanatically performed and lacked spirit so that people did not establish any heartfelt contact with their God and Creator ....

And the same happens nowadays: a formal religious service giving due consideration to all rites and customs, demonstrating to the world the union with God whilst the heart of the individual is far removed from this heartfelt bond with Him .... It is just pretence and deception, there is no longer any truthfulness in people's way of life .... They solely belong to the physical world, and even if they want to give the impression of a relationship with God they only perform lifeless formalities which do not touch their souls. And you, who receive the truth from God, shall challenge this pretence of worship and remember that even Jesus during His life on earth did not support those who upheld wrong doctrines and tried to justify their pretence of worship as the only one pleasing to God and who condemned everything that contradicted their teachings. Nowadays people will not want to part with the doctrines handed down to them by people either and will therefore always remain in error, because they refuse to accept the pure truth which can only be granted to them from above .... from the Eternal Truth. Yet such a gift of grace requires free voluntary acceptance .... The truth cannot be forcibly conveyed to people who are unwilling to accept it. And therefore it is difficult to root out misguided teachings even if these are substantiated and

Amended to them as being wrong. There will only ever be a few who will be open-minded to what God Himself conveys to people, because they don't want to acknowledge such evident working of God .... because they have no knowledge of the fact that God pours out His spirit over those who willingly open up their hearts to Him for the receipt of His pure truth ....

Prior to Jesus' descent to earth, before His crucifixion, the pouring out of the spirit upon a human being was not possible, and therefore the world was full of error .... However, after His death on the cross truth could find access to mankind and it became possible to fully enlighten people as to whether and when their thinking was erroneous, it was possible to instruct them through the spirit and they could rid themselves of all error. Yet there was never any coercion and this is why time and again error could creep in and be advocated as truth and passed on with such tenacity that it is difficult to convince people of their wrong thinking, and thus they will always resist accepting the pure truth from God and giving up their misconceptions. And still, for the sake of truth itself everything has to be tried to make people change their points of view .... everything has to be tried to motivate them to think, everything has to be done to impart the pure truth to them, for they can only reach the final goal on the path of truth .... As long as they remain in their wrong thinking they will not be able to partake in the bliss of the kingdom of the beyond, which can only ever guarantee enlightenment ....

Only truth grants light, therefore truth alone leads to beatitude, for countless beings can be made happy with it again and happiness in the spiritual kingdom consists of the giving of light. This is why you humans must not fall victim to wrong thinking, this is why the truth is offered to you time and again, this is why everything will be done on the part of God to turn your thinking in the right direction, yet you yourselves need only have the will to live in truth .... For it is not as important on earth as it is in the kingdom of the beyond that you know the truth, because you cannot be happy there without truth, and even if you ignore your dark state on earth .... it will nevertheless torment you in the beyond, because only light is beatitude and light is only ever emanated by the Truth, by God Himself, Who is the eternal Essence of light ....

Amen

Unification of ecclesiastical organisations? .... Spoilt teachings ....

B.D. 8687 from November 28th 1963, taken from Book No. 91

As long as people cannot decide to cleanse the Christian doctrine of all human additions, as long as every single denomination does not have the sincere will to embrace the fullest truth and to remove every error, no agreement of the churches will take place because the various denominations can only meet within pure truth and only then will they be united. However, no group is willing to renounce any of its spiritual knowledge and, above all, usually persists with the misguided teachings since they are unable to differentiate by themselves as long as they are merely governed by their intellect. And, remarkably, no school of thought endorses and solely accepts knowledge gained through the 'working of the spirit' .... God's working within the human being .... instead they deem the product of human intellect more valuable and are unable to dissociate themselves from it. Hence the attribute of the church which I Myself founded on earth is rarely found as proof of credibility and truth of what is preached. The ecclesiastical organisations lack that very aspect which guarantees the truth or they would all meet at the same truth and any disagreement would be eliminated.

And thus it has to be stated to humanity's greatest regret that the pure truth can no longer be found where one would expect to receive spiritual knowledge .... It has to be said that merely a thin thread connects everything when the commandments of love for God and one's neighbour are taught .... although this faintly glowing teaching material could still suffice to make truth accessible to the people since compliance with these commandments of love also guarantees 'God's working in the human being', who is then taught from within, thus he is certainly able to differentiate between truth and error .... But only the teaching of love has survived as divine teaching material, consequently every human being has the opportunity to live within truth as long as he complies with this teaching. Then he will also know that everything else is human work which only leads to wrong concepts .... that they are mere earthly expressions of what is spiritually demanded of people by God. However, people do not have the will to thoroughly cleanse the structure which they themselves have erected in the state of spiritual blindness ....

No school of thought desists from its doctrines and rules and each one remains a purely secular affair as long as they advocate external customs and practices which can only be regarded as symbols which lack the true interpretation .... And yet they are all fully convinced of their own school of thought, and precisely this is the tragedy, because in doing so they show their heartless attitude which prevents them from recognising the truth .... as well as their indifference and their irresponsibility towards their souls. For every human being living within love will value truth too highly not to seriously ensure that he is living in truth. And merely a sincere question and request for it would result in enlightenment. But where can one find doubts concerning the truth among those who have made themselves leaders of people, who took on and are in charge of a teaching ministry themselves? .... Where, on the whole, is serious desire for truth still to be found? Why doesn't anyone raise the most important question 'What is truth? Do I possess it myself? ....' Everyone upholds with certain obstinacy what he has adopted himself without forming his own opinion .... He believes himself to be 'devout' by accepting everything without a word of protest about what was conveyed to him by other people .... He shakes off all personal responsibility, he neither uses his own intellect nor his heart to examine the accuracy of what he in turn is supposed to endorse again .... He himself sins against the spirit, because the spirit is within him and only wants to be awakened by love in order to be able to express itself. And this in a manner which will give him light and clarity so that he will become truly wise because he may receive the light from Me Myself which will give him brightest comprehension .... But why do so few people experience this light of comprehension .... why are so many upholding spiritual values which are so unconvincing when they are seriously examined? ....

Why are people satisfied with doctrines that have truly not come from Me and why don't they accept the precious spiritual knowledge from My hand which may be asked for and received by every person who earnestly searches for pure truth and who can, through a life of love in accordance with My will, also establish direct contact with Me in order to be taught by Me directly .... because you humans lack the knowledge about the working of My spirit within the human being. And this in itself is proof that you were and are not correctly instructed, that even the teachers are lacking this knowledge and that consequently they were not given their teaching ministry by Me. For when I commission someone to become a teacher to his fellow human beings I will certainly also equip him with the right knowledge .... But you, who deem yourselves appointed to be in charge of your school of thought or denomination and want to be looked upon as leader, lack this knowledge. You have not been appointed by Me, and you will never be able to lead your fellow human beings into truth because you do not possess it yourselves and do nothing to receive it.

And therefore take notice of what I tell you: The true church, which I Myself founded on earth, can only be found where the working of My spirit in the human being is evident. And this is not outwardly recognisable but it includes members from all the different religious communities, from different schools of thought, for they have won a living faith through a life of love. These will also know that My church does not present itself outwardly, instead it guarantees the closest union with Me to which I then disclose the truth as .... a clear spiritual perception.

This is missing in those who do not belong to My church, who cannot dissociate from misguided spiritual knowledge which cannot possibly have originated in Me but is a human addition, motivated by My adversary who will always oppose truth but which will never be accepted by those who give themselves to Me in love and faith. And thus you will also understand that there will never be a unification of Christian denominations because each one will insist on the doctrine it has represented so far, that the argument between the denominations always concerns misguided teachings which will be anxiously guarded by every one of them because they are unwilling to abandon them .... However, only truth can lead to beatitude and only the person who genuinely wants it will also receive it if he takes the path to Me directly and asks Me for it in all sincerity ....

Amen

Wrong interpretation of Jesus' Words ....

B.D. 8688 from November 29th 1963, taken from Book No. 91

Human thought has an earthly tendency, consequently people also interpret everything in an earthly way that had a profoundly spiritual meaning, that was conveyed to them as spiritual guidance by Me, Who has always spoken to humanity either directly or through messengers. My teachings, however, were always intended for the salvation of the soul and whenever I speak to humanity, be it in ancient or more recent times, My Word has always had a spiritual meaning. This was quite correctly understood at the time, but soon the spiritual meaning was interspersed with worldly ideas and, eventually, interpreted in a purely worldly sense. And thus My Word never remained unspoilt, performances and customs evolved from it which no longer correspond to its spiritual meaning, and My Word has lost its healing power, since it is no longer My pure Word ....

That which was demanded of you spiritually .... because I expected its fulfilment to be a blessing for your souls .... has been turned into earthly performances by you humans. For every one of My requirements on your souls you invented and instituted an earthly activity which you called 'sacraments', attaching too much importance to them. As a result many people conscientiously comply with the regulations in their belief that they are accumulating a treasure of grace by fulfilling humanly decreed commandments .... However, it is all a mere matter of formality and appearance and completely unnecessary for the maturing of the souls .... Yet you stick with great tenacity to the formalities you created for yourselves but which I never demanded of you.

Everything I said during My life on earth as a human being had a profound spiritual meaning and can never be substituted by external acts .... But you do not understand the profound meaning and are satisfied with external customs which can never benefit your soul. Just think of the effects you attribute to 'baptism'! .... You perform a simple external act and are then convinced of its spiritual success: be it the deliverance from the ‘hereditary sin’, or the admission into My church .... the admission into a religious community .... But all this has to be gained by the human being himself during his earthly life, he has to voluntarily let himself be delivered from sin through Jesus Christ. Consequently it requires more than just the act of baptism performed on a child .... And again, he will only be able to join ‘My church’ voluntarily by consciously living his life as My follower, in order to gain a living faith through love .... the characteristic of the church founded by Me.

Think of the Sacraments of Confession and the Altar .... What you made of them and by what formalities you expect your ‘forgiveness of sins’. Think of how I want you to understand the Words, that you should invite Me in so that I may hold communion with you and you with Me .... and how you turned My Words ‘This do in remembrance of Me ....’ into a process which, again, cannot have any effect on your soul unless you live a life of such profound love that I Myself can be present within you ....

All spiritual requirements your soul was meant to cope with by itself were combined with earthly concepts by you humans and thus you created your own structure, so that you eagerly comply with what is demanded of you, what is claimed to be My will .... Time and again you have to be given clarification about this, yet you do not accept such clarification but keep fulfilling the humanly decreed commandments with ever growing zeal whilst My commandments of love for God and your neighbour are being ignored. As a result your spirit is growing consistently darker until, in the end, you will become quite unable to recognise the error of your thoughts and actions. Besides, you have placed yourselves into bondage by submissively accepting everything as truth that is presented to you as 'My Word' ....

You ascribe a purely earthly meaning to My Words and ignore their spiritual meaning. And this is why errors have arisen which can only be rectified if you are filled with love, for then you will become enlightened and notice when you are confronted by error .... Then you will know that all humanly decreed commandments and sacramental acts are a deception, which could only have been alleged to be divine will by a dark spirit, and you will endeavour to free yourselves from error in the recognition of pure truth which alone can benefit the soul, and which can only be recognised as truth by someone who dwells in love, and who thus will fulfil My commandment of love first and then, as a result, also think correctly ....

Amen

Prerequisite for the illumination of love .... contact with God ....

B.D. 8689 from November 30th 1963, taken from Book No. 91

My love light ray lowers itself into the heart of him who opens himself to Me to the reception of love and power. And a blessing for his soul will always arise for him through it, because the time of intimate union with Me must also earn him My presence, which can never remain without effect at the soul. And My divine love light radiates in form of knowledge about pure truth to man, who now increases in knowledge and reaches constantly higher light, to whom a knowledge is opened, which cannot be supplied to him in another way in such a way that it touches his heart. The intellect certainly can be considered from different sides, but it will not be able to judge, which knowledge corresponds to truth, while My address, My ray of light, illuminates the soul so brightly that it now also knows that it walks in truth. And I want to make My creatures happy with a spiritual good, which puts them into a state of light; I do not want to let them pass away in darkness of spirit, but the prerequisites must be there, which allow a direct radiation of light. Yet you can be certain of this, that you need only express the request to be touched by My ray of light of love in order to now also be chosen as a receiving station which can pick up My ray of light and pass it on again .... Only few people have the will and the desire to receive My emanation of love, and I can now grant it to them directly or indirectly through you who receive My ray of love, for no person will address such a request to Me in vain to be allowed to receive My light of love, it is just that people's degree of maturity varies and that is why the granting does not always take place directly, yet every person who desires to receive will receive. But people usually think I am too distant for them to believe that they can establish a direct connection with Me in order to be addressed by Me directly .... They must first have established the right relationship with Me .... the relationship of a child with its father .... in order to now also childlike appeal to Me to let My light of love shine to them in order to enter into the blessing of light and strength which every soul needs. Only the close bond with Me is necessary, which, however, is only established with the father, not with a distant God .... And to this close bond I always try to stimulate you .... Often a small impulse is enough that you raise your thoughts to Me .... it can cause you joy and gratitude or also sorrow and affliction to talk to Me in your thoughts ....

I will always give you an answer when you just expect it. But it can also first bring about great adversity that you call upon your God and creator, and then I will also make Myself known to you as a father Who is concerned about all His children and wants to help them in every adversity, be it earthly or spiritual .... And then also those oppressed will experience My address, and their bond with Me will become stronger, because every help on My part is an allowance of power, which the soul feels beneficently. No human being can measure the blessing that the conscious bond with Me in thought or prayer will result in for the soul, for it will always create the opportunity for My flow of love light and strength to flow into the person who first needs to establish contact, otherwise the person will still be separated from Me, since he once established the separation himself .... And every bond is a step of return to Me .... The original relationship is established again, in which the being was inseparably connected with Me and also conscious of it .... The willful separation from Me has also triggered in the being the awareness of an endless far distance from Me, and every intimate union with Me cancels the state of separation from Me and must now also earn the being again light and power from Me, which will always have an effect on the soul, which always comes closer to Me, which attains knowledge again which it had lost and thus is also placed into brightest realization, because I Myself convey truthful knowledge to it which chases away all darkness and makes it happy, because it feels in possession of light and strength again and now also recognizes Me as its origin and as the final aim towards which it seriously strives ...._>Amen

The only way to truth is the way to God ....

B.D. 8690 from December 1st 1963, taken from Book No. 91

There are only few people who occupy themselves with deeper questions, who demand to penetrate deeper into such areas which are alien to people .... There are always only few who want to know about things which are unprovable and which earthly intellect cannot fathom. And among these few there are even fewer such people to be found who simply turn to their God and creator and ask Him because they believe in Him with conviction .... For the others the spiritual realm remains, in their opinion, inscrutable, and they certainly seek to attain knowledge by listening to what is fed to them about it verbally or in writing, but without being able to guarantee pure truth .... (but without having the guarantee of pure truth) But the former alone take the right path when they ask Me Myself for clarification, for I consider everyone who approaches Me with this request, because I Myself want people to live in the light .... in truth .... through earthly life. But where even faith in a God and creator is missing or only very weak, there the direct way to this God is also not taken, and the result is that man never knows whether he moves in truth, because he only receives thought material, which the intellect has given birth to, but was never imparted to men through the spirit. And bright light could truly shine on earth when many men would take the way to Me and then men could recognize a full agreement of that what is now directly imparted to them .... But thus the process of direct transmission of truth is such a rare one that it is regarded as a completely unusual, implausible occurrence and people reject rather than accept the spiritual results because they cannot give themselves an explanation as long as they have not penetrated My laws of eternity a little deeper themselves, which find their confirmation in the knowledge gained .... For everyone who moves himself in divine order, everyone who lives according to My eternal laws, will live a life of love, and such a life of love now also earns him the deepest knowledge; he will penetrate the secrets which are hidden from people as long as they still move outside of divine order. And that is why a loving person will also find the reception of divine messages .... the penetration into spiritual knowledge .... not unusual, for he is informed of the correlations because a light shines in him himself through his way of life in love .... And again it is explainable why only few people come into this light-filled state of knowledge about spiritual things .... because love has grown cold among people .... There are certainly men who seek to penetrate into unenlightened areas, but as long as they lack love, only intellectual thinking is interested in knowledge, but not the soul, which seeks the light of truth .... Then also that knowledge, which concerns spiritual things, remains only a world knowledge, which man wants to possess as earthly directed aim .... And such desire will not be satisfied for him, for although he has access to that knowledge he will not accept it because he lacks all understanding for it. And that is why only people will ever be willing to accept it who make an effort themselves to live a life of love according to My will, and these will receive light in all abundance and also never be able to doubt once they have received the spiritual knowledge from Me, be it directly or through My messengers. Anyone who possesses the pure truth will no longer surrender it .... For only a loving heart accepts it, and that then also means enlightenment of spirit and intimate union with Me. And many people could achieve this if only they would like to believe in a God and father Who gives them information about all questions that move them when He is approached about them .... For the will for truth is the condition to be allowed to receive it .... And the right desire should also drive man towards Him, Who alone can give information about it, because He Himself is eternal truth. But this path is rarely taken, people mostly rely on what fellow human beings offer them without being able to give the guarantee of receiving pure truth .... And when they eliminate Me Myself as the giver of truth then they can also be considered by the opposing force, which also confirms the depth of spiritual darkness in which people move. For they seek to fathom everything with the intellect, and this is dominated by My opponent .... Or they seek to penetrate spiritual spheres again on the way, which My opponent leads them, so that they also then are instructed by spiritual powers on his behalf and are convinced to now stand in right knowledge .... But pure truth only goes out from Me Myself, and I guide them again there, where earnest desire and intimate union with Me makes the process of direct transmission of truth possible .... And there you men can also fetch the pure truth for yourselves, who firmly believe in Me and My working through the spirit ...._>Amen

The adversary's activity will not be prevented ....

B.D. 8691 from December 3rd 1963, taken from Book No. 91

Though I Am Ruler indeed over heaven and earth and no being shall be capable of opposing Me, I do not contest My adversary's right within the domain which is his kingdom: the terrestrial world which harbours everything that still belongs to him and where he can exercise his influence when the developing spiritual essence has reached the human stage .... Then he will pursue this spiritual essence .... the human being .... in every way in order to prevent his development and to pull him down into the abyss again, from where he had worked his way up by means of an infinitely long process .... Then he is, in fact, lord over his world ....

And this explains why I allow so many disasters, why I don't intervene where the adversary's activities are so clearly apparent .... He has a right to you humans because you once followed him voluntarily into the abyss; and he also exercises his right in order to dominate you. But you can resist him since you possess free will. And you do not lack strength either, if only you would ask Me for it. But My adversary's activity will not be prevented by Me. For the physical world is his share .... even all matter, over which he has no control, is part of him because it harbours the fallen spiritual substance, which is only temporarily beyond his control due its constraint in matter. But as soon as it lives on earth as a human being he can exercise his power over it again without being hindered by Me .... And he truly makes full use of it ....

Yet in Jesus Christ, the divine Saviour, he has a very powerful opponent indeed .... And every human being can turn to Him in order to be liberated from the enemy of souls. For Jesus is stronger than he is, and He delivers every soul from his power which simply appeals to Him for it and with its prayer demonstrates its faith in Him and His act of Salvation, which thereby also acknowledges Myself, Who in Jesus Christ became a human being in order to redeem all fallen spirits. Thus the adversary's power on earth is great indeed, and yet in Jesus Christ he finds his Master .... And regardless of how much control he has over people, in Jesus Christ they nevertheless have a Redeemer and Saviour from his domination .... Thus the human being cannot expect that I, his God and Creator of eternity, will curtail My adversary's activity, or that I will prevent him from carrying out disgraceful actions, because I will not, by any means, remove his right to influence a person in order to hold on to him .... The human being himself, however, does not have to tolerate it, for he can always turn to Jesus Christ and ask for His help to be released from his prison guard, to become free from the power to which he, however, will succumb without the help of Jesus Christ.

How often do you humans say 'Why does God allow this? ....' I do not prevent My adversary's activity because you once accepted his domination and he is still your lord today if you don't want to free yourselves and approach Jesus Christ for salvation from him. But I also know what serves you and each individual soul best .... I know the nature of every individual soul, I know what it needs in order to mature fully, and even the dark world has to be of service to Me, for I also know how to direct the effects of the dark forces' actions such that they will be successful for people's souls who are willing to be released from his power and strive towards Me.

And this is always determined by the person's will, since this is free .... As long as the spiritual substance is still bound within the works of creation My adversary is unable to influence it; but in the human stage he has the right to do so because it involves the being's free decision which the adversary wants to win for himself. Hence he takes advantage of every opportunity, and the human being is at his mercy the further away he is from Me, the less often he establishes contact with Me, or: As long as he does not acknowledge Jesus Christ by seeking sanctuary with Him in his distress, he is at the mercy of the opposing power, which nevertheless is determined by his own free will.

I certainly have the power and can prevent anything, including the adversary's activities, but then the human being's life on earth would be in vain, where he has to freely choose between Me and him. But you humans should also understand that and why difficult tests are given to you, and why he often causes you extreme distress and I don't stop him, because you do not turn to Me for help and this is the real purpose of every adversity, which I therefore allow so that you will find your way to Me ....

Yet you can rest assured that I will not leave you on your own and will help you if you try to get away from him and trustingly flee to Me and thereby also acknowledge Me as your God and Father .... when you call upon Jesus for forgiveness of your guilt and for deliverance from the enemy, who also fights in order not to lose you .... Yet truly, My might is greater, and if you call upon Me in spirit and in truth you will indeed be released from him and your earthly life will not have been in vain ....

Amen

Sacraments .... (Ordination to the priesthood - Anointing the sick)

B.D. 8692 from December 4th 1963, taken from Book No. 91

I shall further teach you that you should free yourselves from error when it is explained to you that you have interpreted My Word in an earthly, rather than spiritual, way. You should know that external ceremonies do not suffice for My spirit to express itself, and that likewise a person cannot be appointed into a teaching ministry or become a leader or principal of a community by way of external ceremonies .... Many are called but only few are chosen, and the few are instructed by Myself; I Myself put them into the place where they can work for Me and My kingdom. But the person is also subject to conditions in order to make him a capable teacher and leader of his fellow human beings .... My spirit has to be able to work in him so that he himself lives in truth and thus is My representative on earth who administers his office in My name, in accordance with My will and guided by Me Myself.

It cannot be denied that amongst those who call themselves My representatives on earth there are also people who live entirely within My will and serve Me conscientiously .... But they were appointed to their ministry by Me Myself and did not become My servants through external ceremonies .... performed by their fellow human beings .... because their appointment is a personal matter of free will which surrenders to Me completely, so that a human being is closely united with Me by love .... so that I Myself can then give him the task he is to administer ....

But this heartfelt commitment and their life of love also assures the awakening of their spirit and then they will delve deeper into the truth too .... They resist any kind of inaccuracy, they resist the distortion of everything that originated from Me and will also disassociate themselves from error .... So now you understand that you won’t find My true representatives where people expect and acknowledge them to be, for these exclude themselves by representing error and not genuinely looking for truth .... They cannot be My servants and representatives because they accept erroneous beliefs and do nothing to acquire the pure truth ....

Thus you will also know what to make of the ‘Sacrament of ordination to the priesthood’, for even if a person is of good will he has to prove it by declaring to Me his willingness to completely submit to My will .... And that means that he has to investigate every doubt arising in himself which I put into his heart Myself to enable him to draw close to Me and the truth .... And if he shies away from contemplating such doubt he will keep himself forcibly blind. He could receive the light yet he closes his eyes, and thus his heart is not open to Me so that I could send a ray of light into it ....

You humans should not say that it is not possible for a person who genuinely longs for Me to detach himself from error, for you all know of My power and love which truly helps everyone who strives towards Me, the eternal truth .... But you have to let yourselves be taught first, you have to take notice of the pure truth, of My adversary’s activity, of the misguided belief with which he has entrapped you, and you have to have the sincere will to free yourselves from him and request Me to help you ....

Don’t you think that I would help you, since I only ever want to deliver you humans from the darkness of spirit and give you light? You only need to use your intellect with good will and you would recognise the flaws in what you are expected to believe .... But you were given intellect otherwise you would not differ from an animal which cannot be held responsible for its actions. You, however, will one day have to give an account of whether and how you used your intellect since it can help you to become enlightened, providing you are of good will and desire a true light. As I keep emphasising .... doubts about the truth are appropriate wherever external ceremonies are to vouch for a spiritual achievement. Your soul will never be able to gain such an achievement, neither on earth nor in the beyond, if such external acts are performed on a person before his passing away, they are nothing but ceremonies and customs and are of no benefit for the soul .... However, I Myself know every single soul and judge it by its degree of love, for only this determines the degree of light the soul enters into after its physical death, providing it does not enter the realm of darkness because it is completely without love and therefore belongs to My adversary who governs the kingdom of darkness ....

Amen

Effect of misguided teachings in the beyond ....

B.D. 8693 from December 5th 1963, taken from Book No. 91

Many more errors will still have to be corrected by Me if human beings are to live in truth. People's thoughts are thoroughly lead astray, one misguided teaching leads to many other misguided teachings, and people cannot escape from them, they are representing a truth which was given to them by people who did not have the truth themselves because their spirit was unenlightened. And countless souls enter the spiritual kingdom in this lightless state. Even then they still defend their doctrines and cannot be convinced that their reasoning was wrong, and will remain wrong as long as they do not accept a light which shines for them in the beyond too, but which they have to accept of their own free will. The battle between light and darkness even rages in the kingdom of the beyond, for time and again the beings of light try to kindle a light for those of dark spirit, but their endeavour is frequently in vain since the souls hold on to their misconceptions. And yet, the latter cannot understand why they do not experience beatitude although they believe to have done everything on earth in order to gain it.

And as long as they do not understand that My will is in fact different from what they were told on earth .... as long as they do not realise the irrelevance of what had been demanded of them .... as long as they do not recognise that I make other demands on people than to comply with ecclesiastical customs and external appearances, that I only expect love from people and only assess a person in accordance with his degree of love and that his beatitude will depend on his degree of love .... the souls will not experience an enviable fate, even if they are not languishing in deepest darkness.

But they argue and do not comprehend the state of their wretchedness, indeed, they frequently reproach themselves for not having sufficiently fulfilled the ceremonies and humanly decreed commandments, and as a result are not yet admitted into beatitude. It could be theirs in a very short time if only they would accept the light beings' teachings or accept a small light where the ray of light is transmitted to earth, where purest truth is distributed and avidly accepted by all famished souls .... But they are just as stubborn in the kingdom of the beyond as they were on earth and reject everything which disagrees with their opinion, and the adversary still has immense power over these fanatics ....

For even in the kingdom of the beyond they fail to help each other which would increase their degree of love and decrease their rejection of light .... They cannot make any progress in the spiritual kingdom because love is the strength that helps the soul to ascend in the spiritual kingdom too. But love is also the light, and even in the kingdom of the beyond they can love each other, for in a state devoid of bliss there is still hardship and misery, and one soul will always be able to help another .... Then the souls' thoughts will become ever more enlightened, they will question each other and will certainly receive an answer .... But love always comes first, and those souls' big spiritual misconception rests in the fact that they superseded love by what human folly had elevated into a 'divine doctrine' .... that they always complied with human demands first and ignored divine demands .... And their condition will never change unless they put love first and, due to their loving will to help other souls, begin to recognise the pure truth, which will then give them unlimited beatitude ....

It is for this reason that every human being, whose thoughts had been misguided on earth but whose will to love and to take action had reached a high degree, will suddenly realise the truth in the kingdom of the beyond and will readily let go of misconceptions. He will endeavour to pass his knowledge on to other souls because he recognises the immense harm caused by error and because his love urges him to help alleviate spiritual blindness. His influence can be extraordinarily beneficial because he had held the same thoughts on earth which he now can justify to be wrong, and therefore be successful with souls who just listen to him. Error is the worst poison for human souls and the fight of light against darkness will therefore continue relentlessly, and one day the light will surely win .... The human being, however, is free to choose between light and darkness, he will not be forced and can make a free decision .... but everything will be done to make him aware of the truth while he is still on earth. But the beings of light do not cease their efforts even in the beyond, for only the soul who knows the truth can become blessed ....

Amen

Attribute of divine teaching: human manifestation problem ....

B.D. 8694 from December 6th 1963, taken from Book No. 91

I repeatedly emphasise that it is necessary for you to be informed about My human manifestation in Jesus Christ .... For your maturing, too, solely depends on the fact that you are truthfully instructed about the significance of Jesus and His act of Salvation for you humans. For although he lived on earth as a human being and as a human being concluded His life with His crucifixion, He was nevertheless only the outer shell of the Eternal Divine Spirit, He only served Me Myself as a shell, because I wanted to make Myself visible in Him, since no being was able to behold Me in My full abundance of strength and light without ceasing to exist.

And this great secret of My human manifestation can only be revealed to you by Me, albeit you humans will never be able to comprehend it completely as long as you are not yet perfect. If, however, you are truthfully instructed about this very problem of My human manifestation in Jesus you will no longer be in danger of taking a wrong path, for once you have this knowledge you have already attained a certain degree of maturity, and then you will only ever turn to Me, Whom you have recognised in Jesus. Yet this is what My adversary wants to stop or prevent, and therefore he will lead people into misconceptions and above all try to prevent a truthful explanation about 'God's manifestation in Jesus' .... By means of constant new formulations and wrong portrayals he will not generate clarity in people, and then he will have succeeded so that neither I nor the human being Jesus can be clearly recognised, for he will always want to create two concepts of God and Jesus, although only one God exists, Who is at all times approachable in Jesus.

Anyone who knows the truth will not allow himself to be worried by this, and he will also identify every teaching which is different as error. And yet, the adversary will have many followers with his portrayal of Jesus, Who has achieved a high degree of maturity as a human being but Who will always be explained to people as 'existing outside of God' .... when he disguises himself as a spirit of light before those who do not completely reject Jesus .... And you can always particularly apply this criterion for truth when God's human manifestation in Jesus is emphasised as being true. This will always be an assured attribute of a divine instruction. For only I can reveal this secret of My human manifestation to you, and you may justifiably discard everything which contradicts My information. Every single school of thought endorses its spiritual knowledge as truth, yet as long as they still differ from each other great care has to be taken and, above all, a serious desire for truth is required in order to be able to recognise it as such. Nevertheless, it is up to each person whether he sincerely desires the truth, he alone has to make the decision, and thus he also determines the teacher who will instruct him. He cannot be offered any misguided spiritual knowledge if he sincerely entrusts himself to Me and appeals to Me for truth .... This sincere appeal is required by Me but it will surely be granted.

But anyone who knows My directly transmitted Word to earth and does not use it as a criterion has not yet opened his heart to the truth either, otherwise he would feel that no other spiritual knowledge can be likened to it if it contains other concepts and notions which contradict the truth from Me. Consequently, if a person does not recognise the pure truth his degree of maturity is still so low that My adversary is able to use him as a vessel in order to deceive countless people through him again and lure them into error .... Truth always and forever remains the same, it does not change and cannot be offered to one person like this and to another like that .... as far as its fundamental essence is concerned ....

You humans will always have to be vigilant if you want to possess the pure truth, so that you will not get ensnared by the adversary who is always keen to work in the same manner, and he will be successful too if the person is indifferent or purely expects sensations, which he anticipates from contact with the supernatural world. What I offer to people will always take place within the framework of natural law and only the contents will provide a genuine seeker with the certainty that I Am the source Myself, and he will gladly accept the spiritual information, he will increase his knowledge, his inner light, and then no error will be able to confuse him any longer for he will identify and resist it .... Yet My adversary's activity will not lessen, and people give him the right to it. If they would only ever desire the pure truth he would be unable to interfere, in that case only My messengers of light would be at work fending off everything impure, unspiritual, and protecting the human being from its influence. And your criterion for truth can always be applied by how Jesus and His act of Salvation and My human manifestation in Him are portrayed to you. Only virtuous, illuminated spiritual beings exist in utmost truth and also pass it on to people on My instructions.

As soon as the Deity and Jesus are portrayed to you as two beings you are not being truthfully taught, for I and He are one .... I Myself, the highest and most perfect Spirit in eternity, manifested Myself in the human being Jesus, in His human shell, in order to become a visible God for you, My created beings, Whom you are able to love with all your heart and Who also wants to be loved by you .... And thus you should only believe the spirit which teaches this to you ....

Amen

Psychic receptions - Credibility ....

B.D. 8695 from December 9th 1963, taken from Book No. 91

You, who received My commission to distribute the pure truth, must also be informed about everything yourselves in order to be able to form a clear opinion about the value of spiritual conclusions which are advocated by your fellow human beings as truth. You should know that both valuable as well as worthless connections are being established with the spiritual world, that beings from all spheres of the spiritual kingdom want to make themselves heard by you, that they try to transfer their thoughts to you and that the human being himself is the determining factor of which beings will be able to approach him. And the desire for truth is always decisive but this is often displaced by the desire for experiencing the unusual, so that the craving to learn something unknown from the psychic world takes priority .... although with the best intention to act and think righteously and good .... Such opportunities are also used by the inhabitants of the spiritual world of light which want to lead people to the right path and thus also try to influence them to deepen their attitude regarding the spiritual realm and to especially draw their attention to the fact that love is the first and most important commandment. Therefore any advice to love can be considered as corresponding to My will. The purity and the will of the recipient who receives messages in a psychic state also determine the quality of these messages .... However, it also depends on the spiritual state of the circle of listeners, on their attained spiritual maturity .... And the flawed thoughts of an immature person alone are enough to enable impure spirits to slip in; they likewise make use of a medium in a state of trance and then often repel the messengers of light, because forces of darkness gather wherever the opportunity presents itself to speak through a human being who has given up his own will .... who therefore speaks in a psychic state of mind .... The purer the circle and the greater the harmony within as well as the desire only to be truthfully instructed the more credible will be the results, but then they will also concur with the teaching which is conveyed to you directly from above, thus their authenticity will be beyond doubt, for countless beings of light try to gain access to people from the world of the beyond and impart the truth to them on My instructions. Yet these beings of light will time and again try to influence people into establishing the connection with the spiritual world in an awake, conscious state, they will enlighten them about the 'working of the spirit' in a person and aim to encourage them to enter into heartfelt contact with Me, which will enable them to receive profound knowledge which cannot be conveyed to earth in a psychic way .... in a state of trance. For I Myself promised you humans the working of My spirit, and you can and should believe My Words .... But the fact that My adversary's working will also strongly come to light cannot be denied, and he will always make an effort to confuse the concepts ....

He will use psychically inclined people in the same way in order to speak through them, yet only ever with words which lack all coherence, words which intend to feign wisdom but are sheerest nonsense.

You can put this to the test yourselves by questioning what kind of spiritual benefit you can gain from transmissions which, on closer inspection .... on the basis of My Word .... utterly contradict the truth. Then spirits will answer which are still unenlightened, which still possess a certain amount of worldly knowledge and .... since they diligently supported it on earth .... will also try to pass it on to people now. They enshroud themselves in the garment of an angel of light, indeed, they even use Jesus' name for their transmissions because they don't recognise Him as 'God' and thus avail themselves of a human name .... And although, in order to mislead people, they grant Him an exalted mission, they nevertheless only do this with the intention of stopping people from thinking correctly and to belittle Jesus' work of Salvation, thus preventing them from calling upon Myself in Jesus. They try to lead people completely astray about Jesus' mission on earth and My human manifestation in Him .... Transmissions from the spiritual world which fail to offer truthful clarification that a pure soul of light dwelled within the man Jesus, which so shaped the body that it could become an abode for Me .... that I Myself, therefore, accomplished the act of Salvation in Jesus and the complete unity of Jesus with Me took place .... that I and Jesus are one .... can always be rejected by you as error and as a deliberate deception by spirits in the beyond. They are especially active during the last days before the end in order to cause confusion in circles which want to do what is right but have not awakened their spirit as yet, so that it can grant them the gift of discernment in order to be able to keep divine and ungodly revelations apart ....

People are unaware of the fact that they will always have to fight the forces of darkness, and specifically in the last days, because the latter want to prevent people from becoming enlightened, and that the only assurance not to fall prey to them is to desire the light directly from Me, and this sincere appeal to receive the truth will also establish the connection with Me, which then will also ensure your correct protection from the activity of these forces. But it isn't always love for Me and therefore for truth as well, but generally only inquisitiveness for an insight into spheres which are still closed to them. People know that earthly life alone is not the reason for the existence as a human being, and they certainly try to obtain information but believe that forces from the beyond will only ever instruct them truthfully and thereby only provide the adversary with more opportunities to confuse their thinking. However, it can help a person to think correctly if he sincerely desires the truth, if, according to his sincerity, his maturity of soul and his desire, beings of light enter such a 'spiritual communication', which certainly realise to whom they can convey pure truth. Yet they will always try to educate a person to the point that he will no longer require an aide .... no mediums which receive transmissions from the spiritual kingdom .... but that he shall establish such heartfelt connection with Me Myself in order to let himself be addressed by Me directly or to enter into contact with the right bearers of light who will impart the right and true spiritual knowledge, which he will therefore also recognise as truth, because he has already awakened the spirit within himself which will guide him into truth .... A person can certainly be warned about futile communication with the spiritual world .... But he cannot nor should he be prevented from it, because there is always the possibility that thereby he will come to believe in a continuation of life after death and he can also be shown the right path if he is serious about knowing the truth. Anything that reveals the will to act right before Me is good, yet first and foremost be warned of anything that only serves to satisfy the senses or to increase earthly knowledge, for no blessing will ever rest on it and a person like that will never be able to recognise the truth and always rather believe teachings which are still far from the truth and will never originate from Me. For this reason I Myself mentioned as a sign to recognise the truth of spiritual receptions the characteristic that you should check whether the enigma of My human manifestation in Jesus is revealed to you such as I Myself explain it to you through My Word, through the working of My spirit within you .... Reject that which does not correspond to My Word conveyed to you from above, no matter how many fine words are used to demonstrate a divine source to you .... My adversary also uses such words, he will stop at nothing because he wants to keep people in the dark .... because he knows that truth is a light which unmasks him and his activity .... And he will always seek to extinguish or obscure it ....

Amen

Knowledge about Jesus Christ is of utmost importance ....

B.D. 8696 from December 10th 1963, taken from Book No. 91

The fact that you repeatedly receive explanations about Jesus Christ's act of Salvation is because people only slightly or rarely believe in it anymore, for their thoughts are too focussed on worldly affairs and the act of Salvation is a spiritual event which cannot be grasped by a worldly directed mind. Yet people are only on earth for a spiritual purpose, and if this spiritual purpose is not accomplished then the human being's life was lived in vain, and the soul falls back into the abyss again from where it had worked its way up over an infinitely long period of time with God's help. If it is possible to make people understand the spiritual reason for the act of Salvation and Jesus' mission, much will be gained, for then they will no longer reject Him but they will try to mentally empathise and to comprehend His way of life on earth ....

However, humanity is not very willing and inclined to receive spiritual instructions .... unless it is rudely awakened from its normal life by overwhelming events and painful occurrences and starts to think. And for this reason such fateful happenings cannot stop either. But by and large they will then indeed remember their God and Creator and appeal to Him when they need help .... And the fact that they acknowledge Him at all as a Power Which created them and also determines the human beings' destiny is beneficial for the soul in itself ....

And yet it is of utmost importance to attain the correct knowledge about Jesus Christ and His act of Salvation, because the human being will always remain too weak to live a way of life in accordance with God's will if he does not make use of the flow of strength which Jesus acquired through His death on the cross and which is now accessible to every human being as grace .... Only when a human being very strongly revives his faith in God will he be able to receive the flow of strength from God Himself, but this person will then also turn to Jesus without doubt, he will be open to every instruction he receives about Him and His act of Salvation, and he will let himself be redeemed by appealing to Him for forgiveness of his guilt.

Nevertheless, during the last days before the end this knowledge about Jesus will become very faded, people will only know of the purely human events, and they will not judge them as any different than those of other people with the same fate, for in their darkened spiritual state they will lack the knowledge about all correlations, they will not be able to explain it to themselves properly, and thus they will discard everything they have heard about Jesus and His act of Salvation into the realm of myth.

They won't know that it concerns a highly significant spiritual mystery, an act of profound spiritual reason which is of immense significance for the salvation of the human being's soul, for his beatitude in the spiritual kingdom which will last eternally, and therefore they won't take the trouble to discover the truth about it either, but rather reject everything and won't believe in Jesus' existence, or they will exclude all knowledge they possess of Him from their thoughts so as not to be bothered by it .... therefore they will miss the purpose of their lives, they will only live for earthly goals and won't endeavour in their return to God which is only possible through Jesus Christ, and their earthly life will be lived in vain and can lead to a repeated banishment in the creations of earth ....

And God's adversary will always promote this attitude of people, he will do everything in order to completely prevent the knowledge about Jesus and His act of Salvation, or he will spread such misguided teachings in this respect that people will fall away by themselves and thereby obstruct their path to Him. But they are living as human beings on earth as a consequence of their immense original sin due to their past apostasy from God, and until this original sin is not redeemed they will be unable to return to God, because God's justice demands an atonement which was paid by the human being Jesus, and therefore He has to be acknowledged as the Son of God and Redeemer of the world .... Who made it possible for the Eternal Deity Himself to suffer within the human shell of Jesus and to die for the sins of all humankind ....

Amen

Supply of truth also for the hereafter ....

B.D. 8697 from December 11th 1963, taken from Book No. 91

Only that can be a blessing for you what serves your soul to mature. And again, the soul can only mature if pure truth is offered to it, because this enlightens it about My will, which is only ever determined by the principle of love .... Therefore it must be My will that man works in love, because through this he will reach truth, and the soul will mature and fulfil its purpose on earth. If the love of man is the principle of life, then he also moves in divine order, and nothing more stands in the way of the union of the soul with Me; the state exists again as in the beginning, that I can completely radiate through the being with My love light and it is happy .... When you look at your earth life as man in this way then no too great demands are made on you; nothing more is demanded of you than a love life according to My will and the power is also supplied to you for this when you want it yourselves that you reach your earth life purpose. And still mankind is on completely different ways .... It is in confused thinking, in wrong knowledge, and love is almost switched off because selfish love prevails and suffocates all unselfish neighbourly love. It is a completely wrong state than that in which men should live .... Almost no one walks the right path anymore: the path of love for God and neighbor .... A complete confusion of thought has occurred, although people believe they have mastered everything and possess great intellectual knowledge .... But what they pay little or no attention to is the state of their souls, which they rather switch off from their thoughts and also do not believe in a survival of the soul after death .... why they unscrupulously savour and enjoy earth life and let the soul starve and starve. And again they can only be snatched out of this blind state through the supply of truth, for erroneous knowledge will never dissuade them from their unscrupulousness, on the other hand the truth can make them wonder and let them become thoughtful .... And that is why I make use of every possibility to convey the truth to people, but I also know where this is appropriate, because in the end-times the activity of My adversary is very bad that all access to most people is blocked, and they cannot be released from their error by force, but the unconstrained supply of right spiritual knowledge can always be possible again if My servants are eager in My vineyard, if they make use of all opportunities where they spread My word, where they speak, so that the pure truth can be offered to people who are willing to accept it. I know about the state of every man's soul, and I know whether and how rescue can still be brought to him before the end. That is why you, My servants on earth, only need to entrust yourselves completely to Me, and I will also guide you so that the spiritual good is supplied to those, which you receive directly from Me. Where only a good will and the desire for right knowledge is recognizable, there the spiritual material is also supplied, because I also know about the problems and questions of men, which only I can solve and answer for them. And although you men cannot measure the extent of your vineyard work, so I still know every man's thoughts, and where he is only in the least spiritually directed, I also intervene. But that only few can still be seized, that My flock will only be small in the end, has again and again been told to you, but every single soul is of greatest value for Me, and for every single soul I therefore wrestle and do not give it up when it does not voluntarily again turn to My opponent, who now has won the victory for this earth life, but this spiritual is again wrested from him with the act of new banishment in matter. But you can believe it, My servants on earth, that you do not carry out a spiritual work in vain. Because the spiritual good with which you work has such a powerful effect, which always benefits a soul, even if you cannot pursue it .... But in the beyond innumerable souls wait for the proclamation of My word, and every spiritual work, which you do on earth, has an effect in the kingdom on the other side on those souls, which in their hunger and thirst for food for their souls are exceedingly grateful to you, which you offer to them, and which are grateful to you for the light, which now shines for them .... Because they recognize pure truth and will now also again have an enlightening effect there where there is still darkness, because truth incessantly drives to hand it out, and because only those beings are always happy who stand in truth and can work with it in the spiritual kingdom, who help those souls to redemption out of darkness, who can only become happy through the supply of truth ...._>Amen

Clarification about UFOs ....

B.D. 8698 from December 13th 1963, taken from Book No. 91

You will receive light on all subjects through My divine revelations, no question will remain unanswered if you ask Me with complete confidence that I will give you an explanation. Therefore nothing needs to stay unexplained; you need only ask yourselves in order to receive a truthful answer.

Time and again doubts arise in you because you believe that you are allegedly able to prove the existence of so-called spaceships (whether or not evidence could be produced of the existence of so-called spaceships) which come to earth from other stars .... But if you seriously investigate these alleged appearances you will not be able to provide one hundred per cent proof. You will find that these statements are always based on mere presumption or self-suggestion, for which no proof can be found. The explanation rests in the fact that people fall victim to the adversary who, in the last days, is able to resort to lies and deception because people themselves want to experience sensationalism, and nothing is too fantastic for them .... and so their thoughts are completely confused. If people had spiritual knowledge they would know that there is no prospect of contact between the individual stars, that the inhabitants on other stars will never be able to leave their sphere and approach other worlds .... The claims made by these people are pure inventions and no person will ever be able to prove his claim to have been in contact with inhabitants from other stars. However, people can fall prey to the adversary's works of deception and, due to their imagination, can be receptive to delusions which originate from him, but these cannot have physical consistency since My adversary lacks the power to produce material objects.

Nevertheless, where actual physical objects have been sighted by people these objects have their origin on this earth .... They are test objects of researchers who, with intensified effort, intend to dominate earth's outer space .... Rumours that are spread about extraterrestrial beings, who supposedly come from other stars, are deliberate lies because no human being will be able to prove they have spoken to such alleged 'star-dwellers'. The circle of those who affirm such appearances will never include spiritually enlightened people because they are My adversary's absolute servants, whom he can use for his purposes .... always provided that it does not concern earthly test objects which could be seen by anyone .... which then, however, will be portrayed as extraterrestrial objects by unenlightened people, or by people enslaved by My opponent. Time and again I emphasise that there is no contact between individual stars and that there is good reason for it .... If you humans even assume that these alleged messengers from other stars want to come to earth to save you, then they would also have to actively help you humans on My behalf .... Consequently, if I had given them this task ....they would always have to establish and maintain the connection with those who are My Own, with those whom I will lift up to heaven in the end .... In that case My Own would see these objects and their occupants too .... which will never happen .... because I will explain this misconception to them and inform them of the pure truth.

But those who make and believe such assertions cannot be spiritually enlightened, they always pursue purely earthly goals and believe My adversary's promises, who wants to prevent people from making heartfelt contact with Me, which is the only guarantee for their rescue at the forthcoming end of this earth. You should believe that it is truly possible for Me to protect every individual person and at the end of the earth lift him up to heaven because the destruction of earth, as it exists now, is inevitable .... And believe that I have countless angels in readiness for this, but that they will never appear to people beforehand as inhabitants of other stars .... And since I convey the pure truth to earth because you humans are in need of it, I would truly also inform you of this if it corresponded to the truth. But I will continue to warn you about My adversary's artful deception in the last days before the end, who uses earthly activities to deceive people, as well as suggestions to cause mental confusion .... because people will blindly believe what is presented to them as long as they are not permeated by the longing for truth, for then they would also always receive the truth ....

Amen

Final decision in the battle of faith ....

B.D. 8699 from December 14th 1963, taken from Book No. 91

You, who belong to My church founded by Me Myself, who stand in living faith and make an effort to lead a life in love, you will also be able to pass the last faith struggle; you will hold out until the end, because you draw power out of your walk of life, which however will be lacking to those who are only christians according to form and who certainly also can belong to a church, but who do not show the landmarks of My church: the work of the spirit in man. Because My right followers are mentally completely differently aligned like the followers of that church, who certainly also received knowledge through their education or through teachings, but who just only heard with the ears, but the heart remained untouched by it and that is why they also have taken no stand on the spiritual material offered to them. But the followers of My church are such men who live in love and through it reach a living faith, who inwardly occupy themselves with spiritual thought material and whose thoughts were just clarified through love in them, so that they move in truth and that is why also their souls will be strong and powerful when the last faith struggle is waged. Only this last faith struggle will bring the separation, only in the last faith struggle it will emerge who is alive, because the form christians will give away their faith without hesitation, because in reality they have possessed none, were only outwardly members of an organisation, but which disintegrates in itself when it will be about the last decision .... This can only ever be presented to you humans that you should seriously take a stand on the thought material which you receive in the traditional way .... you should just once seriously think about whether and what you can really believe or whether you are just followers without your own judgment .... It is important that you think about it because in the coming faith struggle it will prove, and you will quickly fall away and give up all faith in a God and creator, and that will be your ruin. But if you think about it before, then you can still search for truth; you can use other spiritual material for comparison and make some decision. Just do not go through your life completely indifferently, and seek to stimulate yourselves to love work, because the more you ignite love in you, the sooner you come to the recognition, why you walk over earth. You will always have opportunities to carry out works of love, and do you always comply with your inner urge, do you listen to the voice of conscience in you, then you always approach more and more the church, which I founded Myself on earth, even if you belong to an organisation founded by men, which is only then of value for you when you obey the teaching, which every church or school of thought represents: that you fulfil the love commandments first .... Then you can always feel to belong to My church, because then also soon your faith will become a living one, and your thinking will clarify itself, because then the spirit in you is awakened to life through love. Again and again I call upon you to become members of My church by attaining a living faith through love, as Peter had it .... Such faith is like a rock, it will not be able to be shaken, no matter how fierce the onslaught against it may be. It is My strength which keeps the person strong who lets faith come alive in him .... And only those will be able to stand in the faith struggle, only those will endure the tribulations and persevere until the end because they are strengthened by the power of faith and defy all attacks .... And ask yourselves once how far you would be able to withstand if the decision for or against Me were seriously demanded of you .... if you were to give up your faith in Me in Jesus and were threatened with the harshest punishments .... Then only a strong, living faith can give you the certainty that I am stronger than every earthly ruler, than every man who belongs to My adversary. Then you will fear no-one in this world and hand yourselves over to Me in complete trust, and I will protect you. I Myself will come in the clouds and take you away when the hour has come, and you will be victorious and be able to enjoy the fruits of your faith on the new earth .... For through your living faith you are so intimately united with Me that I can truly also dwell among you, because your intimate love for Me allows this .... And through your faith you will become blessed ...._>Amen

Truth emanates from God himself ....

B.D. 8700 from December 15th 1963, taken from Book No. 91

Desire the truth .... and truly, this spiritual request will be granted to you. But don't search for this truth in books which are based on human intellect again, which are purely intellectual thoughts .... assumptions, for which no evidence can be provided. For as soon as you assume that people are capable of ascertaining the truth by themselves, you are mistaken, because pure truth originates from Me alone, as I Myself Am the Eternal Truth. Therefore I say, request the truth from Me, sincerely appeal to Me for it and you shall receive it. The truth, as I want it to be understood and which you should request of Me, is a wealth of knowledge of a spiritual nature .... It is knowledge which extends into spiritual spheres and which can never be substantiated by evidence .... it is the knowledge of your existence, its reason and purpose .... it is the knowledge of the Power Which brought everything into existence and of the relationship between you humans and this Power .... It is the knowledge about the nature, reign and activity of this Power, Which has created everything that exists .... It is impossible for any human being's intellect to provide a truthful explanation of this, such an explanation can only be given by the Eternal Truth Itself .... Hence you have to ask It yourselves. It is I Who can and wants to give you an answer because I Am the highest Authority and also the Love, Which wants to please you, My living creations, with this knowledge. But I can only reveal Myself to those who sincerely desire truth .... yet they will not ask Me in vain to impart the truth to them ....

However, only a few people have this sincere desire .... Mostly they are indifferent or they unreservedly accept what is given to them by their fellow human beings who also merely use their intellect but cannot guarantee that their reasoning was guided correctly. Not many are interested in the basic questions relating to their existence as human beings, and the belief in a God of love, wisdom and might is not always strong enough to ask Him for enlightenment. The pure truth, however, can only emanate from Me, and their wrong attitude towards Me, their God and Creator, is the reason why people live in error and devoid of all truthful knowledge and thus don't make use of their earthly life which could lead them to perfection .... Their indifference towards truth is a side effect of the human souls' immense immaturity, for they are still dominated by My adversary who tries to prevent everything which could provide people with clarification, because he doesn't want to lose them and can only control them as long as their spirit is dark, far removed from the truth; but only truth leads people to perfection, truth alone is beatitude, it is a light which illuminates the darkness of night that is spread across the earth ....

I Myself Am the Truth, and thus anyone who knows the truth is closely united with Me .... As long as you humans are not truthfully instructed you lack the light for your earthly path of life .... Admittedly, you keep walking, but where is the path leading to without truth? .... It can only lead into the abyss, whereas you will irrevocably ascend if you take the path of truth, for this is brightly illuminated and leads you to the goal, to Me Who is Eternal Truth Itself. And I Am truly always willing to guide you into truth, as I promised when I lived on earth .... I will reveal Myself in My love, wisdom and might to every person who simply desires in his heart to hear Me, to be guided into truth by Me .... This is the most important prayer you can send to Me, for this plea demonstrates your serious will to return, it also proves to Me that you acknowledge Me as your God and Father, and it is a spiritual request which will surely be granted .... For as soon as I can convey the pure truth to you, you will also learn to get to know and love Me in My nature .... And I want your love, I yearn for your love which is only deep and pure if you, through the conveyance of pure truth, know about everything, your origin and past relationship with Me and the goal which shall unite you with Me again .... Then love will ignite in you and you will push ever closer to Me and thus can also be guided into ever more profound knowledge which will make you extremely happy .... You will learn about My eternal plan of Salvation, about the Father's love for His children and the great work of return, for which every single person can also offer Me his services .... You will learn to love Me .... And this love will make you blissfully happy, for it will lead to the final union with Me, to eternal life .... Yet only the truth leads to the goal and thus you humans should strive for the truth, you should lovingly hand yourselves over to Me and let yourselves be taught by Me, and then you will indeed be instructed by Me, your God and Father, Who knows everything and Who thus can and wants to teach you everything because He loves you ....

Amen

Powerful effect of the divine word ....

B.D. 8701 from December 16th 1963, taken from Book No. 91

A powerful flow of favour flows down to earth when the word of God is supplied to men from His infinite love because they receive a measure of power with the word, which removes every spiritual weakness, which strengthens the will and guarantees man the safe ascent up. But this current of favour can only then become effective on men when man opens his heart and lets it flow in, for which his will must be prepared. The word holds the power in it to overcome all resistances, but the will of man remains free; he cannot be forced to accept favour, but the slightest turning towards God is already will directed towards Him, which causes the power of favour to have an effect, and then God no longer lets him fall, then the word will so fill him and impart power to him that he no longer lets go of him, and the rescue of his soul is certain. The word of God, His flow of favour, goes out directly from Him, and so something divine comes to earth, something divine touches the heart of a man; it fills him and must now inevitably also have an effect, because a divine gift of favour can never be without effect, and its effect can always only be positive .... It must strengthen the weak, heal the sick, make the blind see, comfort the unhappy, give new hope to the hopeless .... It must inevitably lead back to Him that which once fell away from God. And so therefore man, who is an imperfect being through his own fault, must again become perfect, because the power out of God .... His word .... is able to do everything, because it can never remain ineffective. And this exceedingly great gift of favour is at the disposal of you men; it flows down to earth uninterruptedly; it touches all hearts, which open themselves voluntarily, and it brings certain salvation to him who receives it, who lets God's word have an effect in him. For the word is a ray of favour, which brings light, which means light, which penetrates all darkness and gives brightest knowledge .... But men are unhappy as long as they dwell in darkness of spirit .... Although intellectually they are not aware of their dark spiritual state because they are mostly content with worldly knowledge .... But that the soul lies in torment as long as no real light shines for it, men do not consider. And for the soul a spiritual knowledge is the right light, and this is given to it through the word, which is led directly from above to earth .... The soul receives out of the hand of God what it urgently needs, because it is still in darkness as long as it walks along without right spiritual knowledge. And it is the soul alone which also feels the power of the word; it is the soul on which the word of God has an effect, which heals and perfects itself, as well as a power current flows to it directly from above .... as soon as God Himself addresses it and also supplies it with the strength with His word which it needs in order to perfect itself still on earth. The intellect of man will feel little touched when the word of God sounds to him, and the soul also only then when it is willing to love, because love establishes the contact between the soul and God, which is necessary for the overflowing of His word and His power. But then the soul draws an immeasurable benefit from it, because the power out of God has an effect on the soul with all power; it also gives itself willingly to this power; it opens itself more and more; it matures and wins a knowledge, which can never be given to it otherwise than through His word, which truly also includes all power of proof in itself. Who once has received the word of God in him, which is sent to him unimagined from above, he will no longer want to exchange with other men, and no matter how richly blessed these still seem to be with earthly goods. Nothing can outweigh the spiritual goods, which are taken possession of by the soul, because these lead to ever more intimate union with God, which again includes all happiness. And before the end that flow of favour will flow stronger and stronger; everyone will be able to refresh himself in it; no-one will be denied to drink at the spring and to absorb the power of the word in himself. Only the free will of man will always be demanded, because God will never force the proofs of His love upon him who opposes Him. But unlimited He will give to him who desires His gift. And from God truly only the most delicious goes out, because God alone can impart right food and right drink to the soul and because He knows what His creatures need to again reach happiness, which they once voluntarily gave away. Again they are allowed to hear His word as in the beginning when they just want to open themselves and listen to Him. And then they are saved for time and eternity .... then they will live and no longer lose this life for ever ...._>Amen

The beings' gradual higher development in Creation ....

B.D. 8702 from December 17th 1963, taken from Book No. 91

And thus listen to the following: When I transformed the beings, which I had once emanated as strength, into many different kinds of works of creation, it started the gradual higher development of these beings in their dissolved state .... At first it was an incredible mass of spiritual substance which slowly took on form when My will solidified the spiritual strength into matter, and this matter was so differently natured again that it cannot be made understandable to you humans. According to My wisdom and My love I had devised a plan of Salvation for the fallen spirits which was to be implemented in the creation. The purpose of My creation was to induce the bound spiritual substances within to be of service, thus one work of creation was needed for another in order to make it possible for a gradual higher development to take place. The serving functions at the beginning of creation cannot be made conceivable to you humans .... only when the works of creation became somewhat more solidified some activity, albeit very slight, commenced. And every activity testifies to life, every activity achieves a change, therefore the forms also changed constantly, developing into ever larger works of creation, each one of which had to fulfil a task determined by My will and which was also carried out according to My will, because the spiritual substance was unable to resist My will. Therefore the creation did not arise in an instant through My will, instead, the spiritual substances, or 'transformed strength', bound therein covered a slow path of development so that its resistance gradually subsided which manifested itself in being of service which, admittedly, still happened under My law of compulsion but nevertheless proved a reduction of opposition .... And so the process of higher development through the mineral, plant and animal world until the stage of a human being, has been explained to you such that the external forms constantly released the bound spiritual substances within, which linked up in order to take abode in a larger form again and continue their service, until all tiny particles belonging to a fallen original spirit had come together again and were able to embody themselves as 'soul' in a human being .... But just as it happens in the animal world, that, after dying, the smallest living organisms join other spiritual substances of the same degree of development and enter a larger external shape, so the process of development continued, and My love and My wisdom constantly created new forms which were able to accept the destined spiritual substance .... In nature you look upon this as 'evolution' of a small living being into an ever larger one .... Yet first I had to create a new form which previously had not yet existed. And although these forms constantly became larger and resembled the previous forms, it always involved an act of creation on My part which, however, could not be observed by people because no-one endowed with intellect and free will populated the earth as yet.

However, My eternal plan was definite, therefore I also knew about the living creation which was intended to live on earth as a 'human being' for the purpose of taking its final test of will .... And thus the spiritual substances which were still bound in the various works of creation were continuously placed into new creations the closer the individual being's spiritual substance approached maturity .... The works of creation became increasingly larger .... which is not to be understood in terms of physical size but the individual living being's constitution, their functions and their abilities are referred to in this instance .... Yet each new living creature was the work of My infinite love and wisdom and omnipotence .... which subsequently reproduced itself but always remained the same creation as I had externalised it .... Do understand that no living being will change its constitution, and where you believe you notice a change or further development, its emergence has been an act of creation on My part. Thus every human-like creature inhabiting the earth before the creation of the first human being always were new creations which, however, remained the species they were created as a product of My omnipotence. And since the bound spiritual substance within them constantly developed further, My will also created an increasingly more human-like external form, yet this creation was always based on My will, which manifested itself as natural law again .... what you humans now describe as the natural evolution of the beings .... But the human being can never be regarded as a product of natural evolution, for he is a separate creation, having emerged from My omnipotence, love and wisdom and being designed such that he shall and is able to fulfil an eminent task on earth. Even if you try to train the most intelligent animals to think and decide independently you will never succeed, for the abilities possessed by a human being are not hidden in any animal, for the human being is the only life form on earth in possession of thinking ability, intellect and free will .... which can never be slowly developed nor are they attributes of a creature's gradual higher development, instead it merely proves that the human being is a work of creation in its own right, called into being through My will and My power in order to accomplish a task. And it was only possible to place the creation work 'man' into the world after the once fallen original spirits had already covered the gradual higher development through the creations because the human being was intended to shelter one such fallen original spirit within himself as soul. The word 'development' only ever applies to the sheltering or bound spiritual substance in every work of creation which has to go through this upward development, whereas the material works of creation must always be regarded as acts of creation, because My will brought these external forms into existence in order to serve the spiritual substance as external shapes, which themselves should advance through being of service.

The fact that My will simultaneously also signifies 'natural law', which no work of creation can resist as long as it does not yet shelter a spiritually mature being like people do, will also explain the word 'development' .... but it will never justify the allegation that the human being evolved by himself .... for he was a separate work of creation which My will and My strength of love brought into life ....

Amen

God's promise to His co-workers ....

B.D. 8703 from December 19th 1963, taken from Book No. 91

No matter how your life turns out, you are always under My protection and can completely entrust yourselves to Me that I will arrange everything for your good. And even if it seems as if no more help is to be expected earthly, you still do not need to fear, and you can be sure of it that again and again a way out is found, that everything lies in My power what I want, and My exceedingly great love always determines My will. And so I again and again give you the assurance that I need you, that your cooperation in the last time before the end is so exceedingly urgent and necessary, that you can also be sure of every help on My part, because you serve Me, and I do everything to you what is only useful to you. And My love always determines Me to make life as bearable as possible for you, and I pour out My gifts of favour over you abundantly; spiritually and earthly I give to you in a measure that you recognize a loving father and return His love to Him. You will need to suffer no earthly hardship, and I will keep all adversity away from you, as far as this is favourable for your maturing of the soul. But still far more will I give you spiritual good, because also there I pour out My gifts of favour unlimitedly. Consider that every word, which you receive from Me, means supply of power, and you will always be able to use this, therefore I will also always be prepared to let it flow towards you in form of My word. You yourselves can certainly reduce this supply when you close yourselves to My word. But I will never let it lack the right food for your soul, which it needs at any time .... And I will never limit the supply of strength, but I make it dependent on your free will that you connect yourselves with Me and so therefore stand in constant contact with Me, Who then will also give you spiritual good as most loving father. For I have also set this as a condition that you are to seek My kingdom first .... but then everything else will be granted to you, and this promise is truly visibly fulfilled in you .... And so you may always know yourselves to be loved by Me; you may believe that I want to make you happy and also want to turn away all suffering from you, as far as this is helpful for your soul. Because also you, who are Mine and want to serve Me, you still have to mature on earth, and you are therefore to radiate an increased measure of love, so that I can spare you from suffering, because love increases the degree of maturity of your soul and dissolves all dross, of which the soul is still covered .... But also in suffering I stand by you, for you are also to recognize Me as your father Who makes all adversity bearable for His children, Who Himself is with them with His help so that they are not endangered in body and soul .... Therefore constantly unite with Me, for in unity with Me you are also under My protection, in unity with Me My adversary cannot harass you, and in unity with Me you are also constantly flooded with strength, and you can ward off every adversity from you .... In unity with Me you also receive My word, which proves My presence to you. And what can then still happen to you when I am present to you? And as soon as you know that My presence also proves itself through the supply of My word .... as soon as you know that I speak to you when I am present to you, you will also not resist the influx of strength .... i.e., you will not refrain from listening to My word, because this word is the most delicious nourishment which your soul can receive in order to mature still on earth. You will therefore never experience a restriction from Me, but you yourselves determine it whether My love towards you can express itself through the word. Speak I Myself to you, then you can already be happy on earth, because then you are also in truth My children, to whom My father love applies and will apply until all eternity ...._>Amen

Peace to those of good will ....

B.D. 8704 from December 20th 1963, taken from Book No. 91

I wanted to bring peace to people on earth when I Myself descended and walked the earth .... And also today I want to bring peace to those who are of good will .... For truly, when they let Me Myself into their heart then a peace will also fill this heart which only I can give them, for they will feel My presence and feel blissfully safe and secure, they will not fear any enemy who approaches them from outside, for they know about My love and might which can and will ward off all harm which threatens them. Only in Me will you find true peace, because if you are intimately connected to Me, then you also feel father love, and you know that a father protects and looks after his children and does not let them get into trouble. I want to bring you peace of soul that you are certain to have taken the right way, which leads away from My opponent, whom you want to flee and to Me, your God and creator, to Whom you flee as children, that My father arms embrace you and safely guide you on the way up. But as long as you have not yet found Me, you also wander restlessly along; you know no real peace, because you are still inwardly too much pressed by My opponent, who does not let you come to peace, who is always only anxious to cause restlessness, impatience and agitation in you, who hurries and chases you, who puts you into the world gear, so that you can find no inner peace, because all contact with Me is prevented and without Me you cannot come to a true inner peace. But I came down to earth to bring peace to those who were of good will, for I gathered them around Me and revealed Myself to them as the saviour from deepest spiritual adversity. Only few believed in Me and My mission but these also found peace through Me, they found the path to Me, their God and creator, and walked it consciously by confessing Me in Jesus and being the first to also accept the blessings of My act of salvation, by being the first and most redeemed to be able to enter their eternal home again after the death of their body. To them I brought peace for their souls in truth .... the endless long fight since their apostasy had been endured, and it ended with a victory over the opponent, because they consciously turned towards Me and let themselves be redeemed by Me through My blood, which I shed on the cross for all men. I therefore had defeated My opponent, and everyone who now joins Me also no longer needs to fear My opponent; he will go through earth life in inner peace and also be able to enter the kingdom on the other side after his death, because I have bought this peace for him with My death on the cross. But he must be of good will .... otherwise he will still remain attached to My adversary, because he does not acknowledge My work of salvation and therefore also Me Myself, and for so long he will live a peaceless life in My adversary's chains .... be it on earth or also in the beyond, until he liberates himself from him, until he takes the path to Me and asks for redemption from Me, thus also for inner peace, which makes him blissfully happy. The earthly world has always been an area of dispute where men have to fight against him who holds them captive, and they will not reach true peace until they have defeated him and found to Me, Who alone can give them peace. But you men will also only then be happy when this peace fills your heart, because then you have found home, even if you still live on earth, but you have gone the right way to Me; you have intimately united with Me, received My love power and also found peace of the soul with Me. Then you have become Mine and eternally escaped from him who once plunged you into the deep. Then you have successfully covered the way from the deep to the height, and the gate to the eternal home is no longer closed to you .... I Myself receive you and guide you into My kingdom, where there is light and bliss and peace for all eternity ...._>Amen

B.D. 8705 from December 21st 1963, taken from Book No. 91

A light shone for you humans when I descended to earth, for you were in deepest darkness which My adversary had imposed upon you, but I came from the kingdom of light and approached people with the will to bring them a light .... For I Myself was the light of eternity, I came into the world as a human being in the infant Jesus, I filled this infant with My light, and as long as Jesus lived on earth as a human being He also let His light shine, albeit only to a very limited extent .... But He lived out love, and this alone had to spread light, for anyone who took Him as an example and wanted to emulate His life and work would also be filled with light. I Myself took abode in the infant Jesus, for I Myself am also love, and because Jesus was filled with love He was also able to speak with justification before He accomplished the last mission .... the work of salvation .... fulfilled: 'I and the father are one ...." Love had risen to earth and taken possession of the man Jesus, and so also brightest light had to shine out of Him; He spoke and taught and so gave men a knowledge, which truly gave most lightful information about everything and which could cause men to completely follow in Jesus' footsteps and to likewise lead a life of love, which then secured him the redemption from all guilt when Jesus had suffered the death on the cross. People had lost all light through their apostasy from Me, and this also meant that they were completely without love, that they had rejected My love and therefore now walked the earth in darkness .... If they were now to be redeemed from their guilt the light of love also had to shine for them again, and again it had to be up to them to accept or reject it .... For this reason Jesus certainly bore the original sin for all people and redeemed it, He bought the supply of light and strength for all people again, but every individual person must also voluntarily desire the light as well as open himself to the flow of love again, only then can he be redeemed from his guilt .... But never would a man have been able to accomplish the work of redemption by himself, never would a man therefore have been able to redeem this great guilt, if I would not have manifested Myself in this man, what again was only possible, if this man completely shaped himself to love, that he therefore received Me Myself in himself voluntarily and prepared a dwelling for Me through love, which filled Him. And again I was this love myself, and love radiates light, brightest realization and clearest knowledge .... And this light radiated down to earth, for Jesus' soul came from the kingdom of light and only took up residence in a human shell .... And so the connection was made from the kingdom of light to the kingdom of darkness .... In the latter there was no more love to be found and therefore also no ray of light, which could have illuminated the darkness, and therefore some few men called to their God and creator for a rescuer out of their misery .... And their call was heard: I Myself descended to earth, and a period of deepest darkness was brought to an end, the light was emitted through the man Jesus, in Whom was the light of eternity Itself, and anyone who voluntarily allowed himself to be illuminated by this light of love was able to detach himself from the darkness of night, he awoke to life, for he consciously accepted Jesus' act of salvation, he professed Him in Whom I Myself died on the cross for the whole of humanity in order to redeem it .... And you can believe it that it was no work of man alone, you can believe it that I Myself, your God and creator, with this redemptive work of Jesus .... with His death on the cross .... for the man Jesus was a being Which descended from the kingdom of light to earth and Which caused Me Myself to take abode in Him, because purest love filled the man Jesus which inevitably attracted Me, so that I Myself united with the man Jesus and thus the eternal deity Itself accomplished the act of salvation for all people of the past, present and future ...._>Amen

Redemption of the original debt was only possible through love ....

B.D. 8706 from December 23rd 1963, taken from Book No. 91

Once your original sin had to be redeemed, once atonement had to be made for it for the sake of God's justice .... otherwise never could the guilty beings get close to God again, which they had voluntarily left and strived towards the abyss .... No guilt could remain unatoned for eternity, but endless long time could pass until this act of redemption took place .... And this was also the case, for eternities passed during which the fallen beings had to endure endless torments and thus also bore the consequences of their guilt of sin, but which nevertheless were not enough for the complete redemption of their guilt. For the beings were no longer able to do so, since the original sin consisted of their opposition to divine love, which resulted in their self-emptying of all love .... but a redemption of the guilt was only possible again through the opposite, that love pushed towards eternal love again but this was no longer present. Once it was sinned against love, and again only love could have accomplished a work of atonement, which outweighed that great guilt of turning away from God. And all once fallen spiritual was devoid of all love and therefore endlessly far away from God as eternal love. From below .... thus from the side of this fallen spiritual, which was in the deep .... therefore an atonement of guilt could not take place, although in the stage as man .... after an endless long walk through creation for the purpose of returning to God .... a tiny spark of love is given to the being. But its will is still bound by the opponent of God and too weak to break free from its fetters. Therefore help had to be brought to it, which again only "love" could bring .... Love, which was in abundance in a being remaining with God and which caused this being to do the work of atonement for the unhappy, fallen spiritual .... which caused It to descend to earth into the dark kingdom of God's adversary and to help weak people to strengthen their will through a work of greatest mercy, so that they could then nourish the spark of love within themselves and let it flare up into a bright flame which again pushes towards the fire of eternal love and can unite with It again. Hence the guilt of sin had to be redeemed by a being Whose love was so powerful that It sacrificed Its life for Its fallen brothers, that It once descended from the kingdom of light to earth into darkness and that, on another occasion, It waged battle against God's adversary in the midst of this kingdom .... that It bought the souls from Him with His blood, with His life .... that It suffered the sacrificial death on the cross as the human being Jesus and paid the ransom for all those souls which wanted to return to God again and were alone too weak to shake off the adversary. Jesus therefore took the entire sin guilt of all men of the past, present and future on His shoulders, and He has satisfied the justice of God through His death on the cross; His love was so great that the eternal love let Itself be satisfied with it and cancelled the great original sin for the sake of the love of one man. And He again accepts everyone who approaches Jesus for forgiveness of his guilt, who asks Him to give him power to carry out the return to God, who makes use of the favours of the work of redemption, which the man Jesus has acquired through His death on the cross. You men would never have been able to accomplish this return to God because the immense burden of debt did not enable you to ascend and because you were devoid of all love. But only love could restore the connection with God, and that is why a being of light, Which was full of love, had to offer Itself to descend to earth. And in this being, Which took abode in a human external shell, the eternal love Itself could manifest Itself .... thus God, as eternal love, was able to completely unite with the soul, which was completely permeated and finally body and soul in a completely spiritualized state also found complete union with God .... God Himself was able to accomplish the work of salvation in this man Jesus, and the gate was opened again for all those fallen beings who profess Jesus as a human being in earthly life and thereby also acknowledge God Himself, Who became man in Jesus ...._>Amen

B.D. 8707 from December 25th 1963, taken from Book No. 91

Remember My coming into the world with gratitude and joy, for it signified for you an act of immeasurable love and compassion, a light came to you which was intended to illuminate for you the path out of the spiritual darkness of night .... an era of utter hopelessness came to an end for you humans and a new period of development began .... The path was prepared for you which lead back to Me again .... And this path was exemplified for you by the man Jesus, Who accepted this mission for love of Me, and you, His fallen brothers .... For He wanted to return My children to Me, who had been distant from Me for an infinitely long time already and who languished in deepest wretchedness. Jesus' human shell was occupied by a soul of light, a being which I had once externalised, which was lovingly devoted to Me and had remained with Me when the host of originally created spirits fell away from Me .... This soul sheltered within the infant Jesus, and miracles over miracles already testified at Its birth to the divine spirit Which inhabited this infant .... Yet Jesus, the human being, had to start His life like any other human being, He was born of Mary, the virgin, who was so exceedingly immaculate that she was able to give birth to the divine infant without ever having sinned .... This Jesus-soul had to enter a pure body because I Myself wanted to take abode in His human external shell and therefore His body remained pure and without sin, for although the beings of darkness constantly exerted pressure on Him with the intention to make Him fall He nevertheless resisted them and redeemed all impure spirits clinging to His soul through His greater than great love. He resisted all temptations and spiritualised everything unspiritual which pestered His body, because He lived in this material world, He made it compliant with His soul's wishes, for He was full of love and love conquers everything, even the greatest enemy. Jesus, the man, first had to bring all still immature substances clinging to the body to maturity, only then was I, the Eternal Love, able to take abode in Him, and only then was it possible to conclude the great act of compassion, which He wanted to accomplish for the guilt of sin on behalf of the whole human race .... When I descended to earth, when the infant Jesus was born, My spirit was in Him, because the earthly body sheltered a perfect soul within, thus it was intimately united with Me, enabling Me to express Myself through Him .... And events took place during His birth which you would like to assign to the realm of myth, but which truly happened, for everything is possible for a perfect spirit .... However, only a few experienced these miracles pertaining to the child Jesus, whose hearts where full of love and who recognised in Jesus the promised Messiah and worshipped Him .... People with unclean hearts approaching Him only saw a child which was like any other child .... Yet generally, only those people came close to Him who were prompted towards Him by their spirit, who sensed the miracle that had happened in this night and who thus paid tribute to Him with their adoration, because they saw in Him the promised Messiah. Nevertheless, the fact that God Himself came into the world and took abode in an infant was the greatest miracle of all times which will never repeat itself. For Love came into the world, the infant Jesus was full of love, since the great love for the once fallen, wretched beings had motivated it to take on flesh and to redeem the original sin, which could only be redeemed by love because it consisted of the fact that love had been sinned against. And the man Jesus accomplished this act by giving up His life for the sake of love, by offering the greatest sacrifice any human being on this earth has ever offered and will ever offer .... by relinquishing of His own accord all light and all power He possessed as a result of the love which dwelled in Him .... by suffering in the midst of the dark world as a mere human being and by dying the most agonising death on the cross ....

Jesus .... a being from the kingdom of light .... voluntarily offered Himself for this mission to walk across earth as a human being and to accomplish a work of atonement of inconceivable suffering and pain in order to help his fallen brothers. Love permeated all beings which had emerged from Me and remained with Me when Lucifer turned away from Me and drew an immense number of spiritual beings into the abyss with him .... And Jesus' love was so strong that it wanted to make

Amends to Me for the inconceivable offence against Me, their God and Creator, against the Eternal Love Itself. And I accepted this love which Jesus offered Me and thus also His sacrifice, because it was made by Love and because the original sin could only be redeemed through love .... And thus the being of light took on flesh and walked across earth like all other people, burdened by a heavy earthly body which was a restraint for the being of freedom and light and experienced as agony by the soul. However, He had to travel the earthly path as a human being, because He was meant to serve as a shining example to His fellow human beings so that they would follow Him. He had to fight against the same weaknesses and oppositions which burden every person by nature, because all failings and flaws had to be disposed of by way of the work of improving the soul .... The man Jesus lived in the midst of the earthly world, in the region which belonged to My adversary, and it was twice as difficult for the soul from the kingdom of light to assert itself in this dark area, to resist all satanic attempts to cause its downfall and to treat everything unspiritual in the flesh and in its surroundings with love. For even His body was badly besieged by immature spirits which Jesus did not fend off because, in His wisdom, He realised that these spiritual substances also wanted to be redeemed and His love was constantly willing to bring help to all wretched beings. His soul suffered incredibly through its environment, it was used to freedom and light and love and thus to supreme bliss and now found itself in darkness, bound by the body and in the most heartless environment. And thus from childhood on His earthly path of life had been a state of suffering through which He atoned for many of His fellow human beings' sins .... until He finally accomplished the great sacrifice of atonement by sacrificing Himself for the original sin of all human beings, past, present and future .... You humans will never be able to comprehend this act of compassion, for no human being would have been able to take such an extent of suffering upon himself in awareness of its conclusion, for He was constantly mindful of His end which did not allow any joy to arise in Him; He had human feelings and lived through it all in a state of fear which was caused by every thought of the forthcoming event. And He endured until the end, the love in Him for Me and for all which is unredeemed grew constantly and gave Him the strength to carry out His act of compassion .... I Myself was able to permeate Him completely, I Myself was in Him in My fundamental nature, and thus it was I Who atoned for the guilt of sin on behalf of all people, for it was Love which gave Jesus the strength to suffer and to die on the cross in order to redeem humanity, in order to make

Amends for the immense original sin, which could only be justly atoned for through an act of love as was accomplished by the man Jesus on the cross ....

Amen

What is grace? .... God's word unusual gift of grace ....

B.D. 8708 from December 26th 1963, taken from Book No. 91

Let yourselves be satisfied with My grace .... Because as soon as you evaluate these, you reach your aim on earth, to perfect yourselves to My children, who are to enter the inheritance of the father. You are of yourselves nothing but only weak men, who lack all strength and all light .... But you are so constituted out of your own fault. And everything what I now do for you to turn power and light towards you again is favour; it is a gift, which you did not deserve, because you once voluntarily had rejected My love. Yet I did not and do not let you fall, for I love you .... And so I continue to bestow favours upon you, and if you accept these, you will lack nothing; you will increase in light and power; you will again become what you were in the beginning: highly perfect beings, which stood in radiant light and were powerful. That is why I say: "Let yourselves be satisfied with My grace, then you are truly to be called rich, then you can no longer sink back into darkness, then you will come to the knowledge through graces, what you were, what you are and what you are to become again ...." You will know your God and creator as your father, Whose love is unlimited, which He wants to bestow on you .... Graces are gifts that love offers you .... Only he who is full of love hands out gifts of favour, because love considers those men or beings who have forfeited the right through their own fault to be given gifts by the father, but He gives them nevertheless, because love does not stop to want to make happy, and although the gifts are not requested or asked for, love is always willing to give itself away, and these are favours, which never remain without effect, if they are just willingly accepted and evaluated. Let yourselves be satisfied with My favour because then you truly need nothing else; My gifts of favour include everything in themselves what makes you happy and helps to the last perfection. And I truly do not hand out meagrely; I shower you with favours, and the more you open yourselves to receive them, the more abundantly they flow to you. And no man can get lost who moves in the area of My sun of favour, who uninterruptedly receives the flow of love from Me, which contributes to his perfection still on earth .... The human being can still be so weak .... if only he opens himself to My gifts of grace, then he will be filled with strength and need not fear any state of weakness. And such a flow of grace .... an undeserved gift which helps people to gain strength and light .... is My divine word which is constantly conveyed to earth, which pours into people's hearts like an inexhaustible flow of grace, which safely strengthens all souls on earth or in the beyond in their still weakened state, which also lets a bright light shine into all hearts .... which penetrates with its strength and enables every soul to perfect itself .... With My word I penetrate the darkness and kindle a light wherever hearts long for light, for My word is truly a gift of grace, a gift which I bring to unfortunate people who are still too weak to consciously request it but who are to reach the point where they consciously make contact with Me and now ask for an influx of grace which they will truly receive without limit .... My word is an unusual gift of favour, and who strives for it, he will truly also soon have reached his aim, because My word will show every man the way, which leads to perfection; My word will impart power and light at the same time to men, and all darkness and weakness will fall away, the human being will enter the circuit of divine light of love, and full of strength he will be able to accomplish everything that is required of him, he will gladly and joyfully fulfil My will and thus also recognize the meaning and purpose of earthly life and now lead the earthly life in accordance with My will .... Then he will have made use of the blessings, then My word will have helped him to take the path of return to Me, that his earthly life will not have been in vain, that he will have changed his nature back into his original nature again, where it stood in the light and was able to dispose of immense strength .... Only My favour can help men to this aim, because My love must give you that what you lack, so that you find out of your state of weakness and become again what you had been in the beginning .... exceedingly perfect beings who were blissfully happy in immeasurable abundance of light and strength and in freedom because their love united them inseparably with Me, Who is love Itself from eternity ...._>Amen

God is lord over life and death ....

B.D. 8709 from December 27th 1963, taken from Book No. 91

You know that My opponent has great power in the end and that he also makes use of it in every way. And his power is so great because you men yourselves grant it to him, because you comply with his will and do not resist his temptations in the least or offer resistance to them. It is you yourselves who allow him such activity that he can cause hopeless confusion among you men, because he has you completely under his control, because you are without love .... Love would keep him away from you, because since he himself is without all love, he himself cannot resist love, he is subject to love unconditionally, but you men do not apply it, but are of the same nature as he .... without love and therefore also without power to resist. And therefore it is possible for him to completely intervene in your thinking, to mislead you and to influence you that you always only carry out what is his will .... But his will is to prevent you humans from finding the way to Me .... His will is to keep you under his control, to incite you to actions of the most evil kind, to constantly incite you to sin and to act contrary to all My commandments of love. Furthermore, his will is to extinguish the light wherever it shines in order to penetrate the darkness. And where he cannot extinguish it, there he seeks to cloud it, to put up blinding lights next to it, which shine so brightly that the right light cannot be recognized by men, whose spiritual eye is blinded. He does everything to not lose his following and to win back him who has already withdrawn from him and turned towards Me. And he will continue these efforts until the end, and men will be more and more willing to comply with his desire and to move in sin as it is his intention. And so he will also seek to destroy human life to completely cut off their development. He will again seek to determine men to works of destruction of every kind because the power is taken from him himself over every work of creation although it holds the spiritual in it, which still belongs to him. But he cannot destroy the works of creation, and he also cannot end the life of a man, but instigate men of the same will to it .... And I do not resist him because every man has free will and does not need to carry out what My opponent whispers into his ear. If he does it, then he will also have to answer for it exactly because of his free will. But what do I Myself think of such actions which are directed against a person's life? Again I allow the free will of man to be valid, whatever he intends. But I still decide about life or death .... For I can very well also thwart an evil plan, I can protect every person from falling prey to attacks by evil people, and I know if and when I grant a person this protection .... I also know when a man's last hour has struck, which I have determined for his earth life. For then I call a man's soul away to its salvation to protect it from the relapse into the deep when it has already reached a certain maturity, or also to further use a soul in the spiritual kingdom that it takes part in the work of redemption from this kingdom, but as I also end the life of those who no longer show progress on earth or whose task on earth I regard as finished. All this I determine, because I am the lord over life and death .... And no matter how brutally My adversary proceeds, no matter how much he incites the people in bondage to acts of hatred and unkindness, he does not have the power to put an end to a person's life .... He can only determine man as mediator, but how the effect of every still so evil act is, that will always be left to My will. But for the will to act every soul has to answer, and also My opponent himself is not spared the fettering after his work in the last time before the end. So I will certainly leave free will to man who has surrendered to the will of My opponent; I will not prevent him to carry out his plan, and no matter how bad it is, but I Myself determine the effect or allow it. And a man loses his life through diabolical attack, then My will has predetermined the end of it, because I Myself call a man away, because I see when the hour has come for it. And whether also now My opponent triumphs .... he is also only an instrument in My plan of salvation from eternity, it is he who first needs the human being's free will in order to be able to carry out his shameful plans. But everything that happens is included in My plan of salvation from eternity, and also My adversary contributes through his will to support this plan of salvation and to push men to a decision, because every man has to prove his free will, whether he decides for Me or for him, and accordingly also all world events take place, whereby he is certainly strongly involved, but in the end still My will remains determining, how far I tolerate his work always in the foresight of the outcome, which alone is known to Me ...._>Amen

John 14, 15-26

B.D. 8710 from December 29th 1963, taken from Book No. 91

‘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 ....’ This promise of Mine clearly points to the fact that I reveal Myself to those who comply with My requirements because they love Me .... And with My promise I pointed to the working of My spirit within you during My lifetime on earth already, for precisely this spirit wanted to express itself to you and grant you clarity about Myself, My nature and My activity .... I wanted to reveal Myself to you .... to convey to you the pure truth about everything that originates in Me. Yet only few people have understood the meaning of these Words, for only few people ascribe any value to such divine revelations; as a rule everything, which essentially merely proves the heartfelt contact with Me, is rejected. I demanded of you nothing else but the fulfilment of My commandments of love, for as soon as you lead a life of true love you also unite with Me, Who is Love Itself, and ‘whoever remains in love remains in Me and I in him ....’ It should become constantly easier for you to understand that I .... if I Am with or within you .... will also express Myself, and every manifestation on My part is a revelation.

And this has to guarantee you the purest truth, because nothing but truth can come forth from Me. Consequently you can, without reservation, also accept everything that is presented to you in the form of such revelations which, since they originate from Me, can only be the purest truth. All you humans should engross yourselves more in the spiritual meaning of the Words spoken by Me when I lived on earth. And if you do not understand them correctly or can only recognise an earthly meaning, then you should establish a heartfelt contact with Me by praying to Me in spirit and in truth and asking Me for the correct understanding and, truly, it will be given to you because it is My will that you shall think correctly. But especially you, who believe yourselves to be entitled and called to preach My Word, are not promoting the understanding of My Word, for you do not contemplate the meaning and simply ignore what you are unable to rationally explain yourselves.

Nevertheless, My Word has been spoken and remains valid. I have promised to reveal Myself to you and thus you cannot accuse Me of being a liar, you will have to believe in divine revelations yet merely seriously examine what should be accepted as a divine revelation, but you must not reject all spiritual information received on earth in an unusual way as the activity of adverse forces .... since I have, after all, given you the above promise Myself. And you will certainly be able to make a serious assessment since you were also informed of the criterion ‘Test the spirits whether they are of God: Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God ....’

Hence, divine revelations also have to bear witness of Jesus’ act of Salvation and My human manifestation in Him .... But then you may unhesitatingly believe, especially if Jesus’ act of Salvation is the subject of a revelation which someone claims to have received directly from Me .... You truly need not accept anything unreservedly, it is your duty to examine all spiritual information or you would not be requested to ‘Test the spirits whether they are of God ....’ Every human being should form his own opinion about what is imparted to him, he should always conduct every examination by calling upon Myself so that he will achieve a living faith .... which, however, is not possible if he accepts everything that is presented to him as spiritual knowledge without objection.

For My adversary is active as well and always tries to contaminate the pure truth, and the human being himself is duty bound to form an opinion as to be able to distinguish truth from error. And in that case he should keep as much as possible to divine revelations, for as soon as he desires the truth I will also convey it to him in some form or other and he will accept it without inner objection, because it will affect him as light and strength, since everything originating from Me will not remain ineffective. Anyone who truly desires the truth from Me will definitely be correctly guided by Me in his thinking, for then I will place the right thoughts into his heart, because he will have sincerely requested the truth from Myself and he will then also be able to speak of divine revelations .... Then he, too, will be able to lay claim to My promise .... ‘I will manifest Myself to him ....’ He will feel the truth in his heart and his intellect will equally recognise it as right, his thinking will be guided into the right direction and he will reject all wrong thoughts .... Only these conditions will have to be fulfilled by him:

He has to comply with My commandments of love on which I have made My divine revelation dependent, for I Am Love Myself, and if I Am to reveal Myself, a human being also has to be united with Me through love so that I Am present in him and he finds himself in the sphere of the Eternal Truth and thus can no longer think wrongly either .... Living a life of love and seriously desiring the pure truth .... is the guarantee that a human being is also moving within the truth .... But the desire for truth is usually missing .... even if a person’s heart is full of love .... and this is so because the person believes himself to possess the truth, and he cannot be instructed because he doesn’t ask but deems himself knowledgeable .... For this reason it is good if the human being begins to doubt because then he will ask himself questions which I will gladly answer him in his thoughts, because I will reveal Myself to someone who loves Me and keeps My commandments. And even these doubts are often placed into the person’s heart by Me, for I only want the person to live in truth and I will help everyone of good will to achieve it ....

Amen

The bond of love shall connect everyone without distinction ....

B.D. 8711 from December 30th 1963, taken from Book No. 91

Only love will always and ever lead you to perfection .... And this love has to flare up deep within your heart, it has to fill your whole being and motivate your every intention and action, then you will come ever closer to perfection, then you can say that you have been reborn, for you will have changed yourselves into your fundamental nature again. But only few people achieve this high degree of love while still on earth, yet I already accept their will as evidence of love .... the will to reach Me, the desire for My presence, always proves their love for Me already ....

You humans are unable to muster this burning love for Me and all created beings, which deifies you on earth already, you live in a world devoid of love, and that also has an effect on those who themselves are willing to love but who, due to recurring unkindness, are inwardly inhibited from loving actions which, however, would awaken reciprocated love. And yet you should carry out this work on the soul, you should even love when you are hated, and you will rise above yourselves and become capable of ever greater love. And you may well believe it, as it is possible for you to do .... if only you would always appeal to Me for strength when you are too weak yourselves.

There is no special merit in loving something that is good and beautiful .... Yet to show love to a person who treats you badly or has many shortcomings and faults is far more difficult but also far more commendable, and then your degree of love will rise indeed and you will draw ever closer to Me, the Eternal Love. In order to be able to do this you have to open yourselves to My ray of light .... you have to appeal to Me to soften your hearts, to work in you Myself as soon as you cross the path of people who don't mean well or who do not appear amiable to you. Consider the fact that all human beings are My living creations, that I want to regain all people as My children, that you all have the same Father, but that not all people have achieved the same degree of maturity which they should and would be able to achieve on earth. But the bond of love should connect all of you, for only by way of love can you also help these less mature people to achieve a higher degree of perfection, for no ray of love sent forth by you will be without effect, it will always have a beneficial effect on the soul which is still surrounded by dense layers.

You are able to show love to such persons if only you consider the poor quality of their souls, which still have to struggle and fight for a long time until they are spiritually fully mature. And if you .... as soon as you are confronted by such a person .... immediately remember Me and My emanation of love, which is available at all times and only wants to be seized by your hearts .... thus just a brief call to Me in Jesus is enough for Me to illuminate you and enable you to love your fellow human being, whom I do not send without reason to cross your path, for he as well as yourselves should mature through such meetings, which you inwardly dislike ....

You should never put your own interests first, you should never ask whether such meetings are beneficial for yourselves but always take notice of the other person's situation and try to help him, for would I let something happen to you that would be harmful for your soul? Love should glow ever more brightly within you, and My ray of love will always flow to you .... But if you consider and evaluate any human encounter and take earthly measures to avoid it then your action, at that moment, is not in contact with Me and you cannot expect any help from Me either.

Everything you encounter in earthly life only happens to you for the sake of maturing your soul, and you should not avoid it but rise to the challenge by using My strength, and you will be able to derive rich blessings for yourselves as well as for your fellow human beings. You are truly able to develop a high degree of love in you if only you call upon me mentally and appeal for My flow of strength, thus for My illumination of love, and open yourselves to receive it. And therefore it also requires that you do not exclude Me from your thoughts .... And this is the key, it is the only explanation you need to reach your state of perfection while still on earth .... For as soon as your thoughts constantly embrace Me the flow of My strength of love also has to affect you constantly, and then I can always be present with you too .... My presence, however, gives you the evidence of your union with Me, which is only ever achieved by love. Hence love could totally deify you on earth already, yet as you are rarely able to raise it to a high degree you will also have to suffer and through suffering dissolve the soul's cover .... Still, no matter what happens to you, everything is well considered and will only ever be in your best interests as long as you are willing to return to Me and enter into final union with Me, which will guarantee you eternal life in blissful happiness.

Amen

Spiritual low level .... Lovelessness .... Selfish love ....

B.D. 8712 from December 31th 1963, taken from Book No. 91

The greatest evidence of humanity's spiritual low level is lovelessness, which is evident amongst people everywhere. Selfish love has steadily increased and hardly anyone is practicing neighbourly love anymore, hence there also has to be a profane state on earth, a state of activity by evil forces, where God's adversary always has the upper hand and people are his willing subjects. The spiritual darkness is getting increasingly worse, rays of light are only seldom recognisable and even frequently feigned by deceptive lights without strength of radiance .... Judging by people's degree of love the time of the end has clearly arrived ....

An obvious decline can be detected, people are firmly attached to matter, they only value their body and its comfort, earthly success and an increase of earthly commodities. They do not believe the fact that their souls are suffering extreme hardship since they do not believe in the soul's life after death, indeed, they frequently even deny having a soul. They cannot be forced into a different mode of thinking, their free will has to be respected, but accordingly they also prepare their own fate after their death.

And anyone who observes what is happening in the world, in his immediate neighbourhood, also knows that this state cannot continue forever because it is getting worse from day to day, because people's greed for matter continues to grow, because no spiritual aspiration can be noticed and because every situation will eventually come to an end if it does not correspond to divine order.

People no longer serve each other, everyone wants to rule instead and be served at the same time, everyone wants from the other what he enjoys but no-one is willing to do the same in return .... There is no love, people's hearts are hardened, and there are only ever a few people willing to help in times of need .... And this is the small flock, for once the will to love becomes active it will establish the bond with Eternal Love. And This will not leave a person again, who voluntarily performs labours of love.

You humans do not know the blessings of loving deeds .... you do not know how much easier you could travel your earthly path if only you would practice love and thereby receive consistently more for your soul, but also receive what you need for earthly life. But heartless humanity lacks this knowledge, everyone just looks after himself, and everyone tries to get whatever he can out of life and forgets that his hour of death is unknown to him, that he can pass away at any time and take nothing he owns into the beyond, but that he will arrive bare and miserable on the other side. For he has nothing to show for his soul which he had starved in earthly life but which is all he has left now and which enters the spiritual kingdom in desperate poverty. And this heartless state of people cannot result in the slightest spiritual progress. However, since the soul only lives on earth as a human being for the purpose of maturing, but this purpose is not fulfilled, a powerful intervention by God has to take place, a sharp reprimand and reminder, so that a few people will reconsider the purpose of their earthly life and change themselves before the earth's last stage begins which will not last long until the end.

People take no notice of God's gentle voice through strokes of fate, disasters and all kinds of accidents, through the Word of God from above, and thus they have to be spoken to with a louder voice, and blessed, who wants to hear God's voice and takes it to heart, for even then there will be many people who don't want to recognise Him when he speaks to them through the elements of nature with tremendous strength .... They, too, will not be forced but able to make a decision of free will, nevertheless they will be spared the worst, the recurrent banishment into hard matter, if they still find and take the path to God, if they still acknowledge Him and call upon Him for mercy ....

But then the end will have come, for the earth will no longer fulfil its purpose, it will no longer be used by the souls as a place to mature, it will merely be utilized for the body, and everyone will elevate himself to a ruler of the world and cause the greatest destructions himself in the belief to control all laws of nature and thus also to experiment with impunity, which then will lead to the final destruction of earth.

But this is what people themselves want, and thus it will come to pass as it is proclaimed in Word and Scripture: a new heaven and a new earth will arise and divine order will be re-established, so that the return of the souls to God can continue, as it is intended in His eternal plan of Salvation ....

John 7:38-39 ....

B.D. 8713 from January 1st 1964, taken from Book No. 91

Out of your body shall flow rivers of living water .... The stream is to spring out of you yourselves, therefore it must first have flowed from Me, as the original source; it must have filled the vessel, which you yourselves prepared and I now can also let the living water flow towards you, as I have promised you. For in you rests a spark of the eternal spirit of God, Which slumbers in you as long, thus is out of activity, as long as you have not yet become a vessel to receive the flow of spirit out of Me, Which is established through this divine spark .... as soon as the intimate contact with Me is established and the spark unites with the father-spirit from eternity .... thus flows into your heart. You are originally divine creatures, which went out from Me in all perfection, and that is why also all knowledge, brightest knowledge about the most hidden things, had to be in you .... Yet this most profound knowledge is not accessible to the human intellect, but the human being can attain it himself if he shapes himself, i.e. his nature, in such a way that it is once again akin to the divine original being .... if he changes back to love, which he once voluntarily relinquished .... Because love is brightest light and must also put man into the state of brightest knowledge, but which can never be supplied to him from outside, through fellowmen. I Myself have given you the promise: "Out of your body shall flow rivers of living water ...." That these words are also only to be understood spiritually need not be mentioned, and when it is now explained to you that the living water is My word, the water of life, which brings salvation to all souls when it is received at the source and the soul feasts on it .... then you will also be able to understand that this word of Mine resounds in the heart of him who believes in Me and enters into intimate contact with Me .... Then also that scriptural sentence will be understandable to you that the word sounds to you yourselves and you yourselves are led into brightest knowledge as soon as you just let My spirit flow into you in free will. That, what now flows towards you out of the inside, is nothing dead; it is life itself and brings true life to man, who awakens his spirit in him through a love life and through it comes into contact with Me, whose effect is exactly the influx of light and power, of a living water, which irrevocably gives you eternal life. Because who has My word, to him I Myself am present, and My presence is also guarantee for eternal life. You therefore need no instructions from outside, because these again only penetrate to the ear and leave the heart of man untouched. But out of yourselves flows the water of life, and that means as much as that My word sounds in you yourselves, if you allow it yourselves, if you fulfil all (the) condition(s), which I have attached to the hearing of the divine word. And this is called: "If you believe in Me, as the scripture says ...." Thus you must believe in Me as the divine redeemer Jesus Christ, for again and again the coming of the messiah has been announced in scripture, and you must recognize and acknowledge My descent in Jesus, then you will believe in Me, and the living faith within you will also urge you to establish an inner bond with Me, and then the divine spiritual spark within you will already make contact with the father-spirit of eternity, and the result will be the influx of brightest light and unlimited strength, which will then again take the form of My word .... of the living water .... in you obviously proves My presence .... Then you can draw from the source of life which has its origin in Me, that which helps you to eternal life flows to you from the original source Itself, for I have given you this promise and thereby already pointed to the process of the 'outpouring of the spirit', which My disciples experienced for the time being but which every person can experience, because through My crucifixion I acquired unusual blessings for him which make it possible that My spirit can pour itself out over those who believe in Me .... But that only a living faith was meant by it, which only became alive through love, and therefore love is the first condition that My spirit expresses itself in a person .... has let people think little of this promise, for precisely love was lacking in them, and thus it also remained dark in them, they could not be transferred back into the state of realization which requires My direct influx of love, which again can only be acquired by the human being through love .... And as long as people lack love this promise will also remain incomprehensible to them, and they will only ever relate it to the first disciples who experienced an obvious 'pentecost', the 'outpouring of the spirit', yet they will never relate this promise to themselves because they lack all faith in it. Yet My promises always apply to all people, but never to individual people only .... only conditions are always attached to them, and the fulfilment of the promises also depends on the fulfilment of the conditions .... But My word is truth, and everyone can also hold to My word, and it will sound in him himself, as soon as he just gives the divine spark in him the possibility to express itself, whatever will be, where its love establishes the union with Me Myself, so that I can pour Myself into a human heart, which is devoted to Me with its whole will ...._>Amen

Hard struggle and suffering in the end time ....

B.D. 8714 from January 2nd 1964, taken from Book No. 91

All of you are in need of great spiritual help, for the time left to you until the end is only short .... Many will still be called away before, and they will have even less time at their disposal to work on their souls .... But they will not have to pass the difficult faith struggle, which requires exceedingly much strength and you therefore always need help, but which you are also allowed to experience at any time. Because only this faith struggle is the last phase, whose end will then also bring the destruction of the surface of the earth, where all life of man and animal will be ended and also the plant and rock world experiences its dissolving, because a new order is to be created and therefore a development period comes to an end and a new one starts again. Who still experiences this time, he will have to struggle extremely to pass it, because only very believing men will have the power to win over their enemies, because these men request it from Me, and I certainly do not leave them without help. For then only deeply believing people who belong to the adversary will enliven the earth, which is why the separation will then also be accomplished .... The adversary will strongly press Mine, he will try everything to take away their faith. But the latter are strong in faith and in love, and so they are also in possession of power to offer resistance, and they will also emerge as victors out of this last fight. But much help is still to be given to all men before, so that they can free themselves from the enemy of their souls, so that also still out of the camp of the enemy men change over to the ones who are Mine and are still won for My kingdom. People who are without faith because their intellect resists educated teachings are to be shown the way to the right faith, the possibility is also to be opened to them to think and to reach convinced faith in a God and creator, so that their thinking changes and they also change their way of life, which before is only earthly-worldly orientated .... I will try everything to still win quite many that they open themselves to truth, that they feel impressed and do not reject everything what they have been taught so far. But only pure truth can bring this success that man still turns to Me shortly before the end .... Only truth also carries the power in itself to accomplish a change of will. But truth is only accepted by people who are willing to love, whereas the unloving person will reject everything, no matter how logically and comprehensibly it is explained to him, for the unloving person is already a member of the adversary who does not release him either but keeps him captive because he is unloving .... And what still can increase the willingness to love of a man, that will also happen. And that is why still much disaster will pass over earth where fellowmen can show their love to those affected by the disaster, where they carry out works of love through their willingness to help, which are of inestimable benefit to their souls .... I only want to achieve one thing that love is awakened in men, because everyone is able to love, because a divine love spark slumbers in him. And that is why there is so much misfortune on earth; men are afflicted by disasters and accidents of every kind, and they are to prove themselves; they are to help where it is possible, and truly, it will not be their own harm .... For they do not find the way to Me in the well-being of the body, not in earthly joys and pleasures, but certainly in view of the misery and unhappiness of their fellow human beings, where their thoughts are nevertheless directed towards Him, Who is lord over life and death and Whose influence and help is visibly recognizable, if man himself has not caused the disaster and is to blame for it. Then men, who do not want to believe, are also not to be brought to believe. But as soon as all human influence is eliminated, they must acknowledge a higher power, and there is the possibility that they bow to this higher power. And with it already much would be achieved, because if a man acknowledges a God, then he also gives himself to Him in hours of danger and deep trouble, which become more and more frequent the closer the end is, because I want to win the souls, but not lose them to him, who is to blame for their apostasy ...._>Amen

Frequent question: Why did the God of love let a human being suffer so? ....

B.D. 8715 from January 4th 1964, taken from Book No. 91

You humans could not imagine the result of your original sin had you not been redeemed .... I keep telling you that you are only able to grasp limited concepts, whereas the consequence of the original sin would have been limitless because My laws cannot ever be revoked .... And a sin committed against Me which was as immense and as grave as the apostasy from Me against better knowledge had, in accordance with divine justice, to result in equally appalling consequences, which for these beings entailed eternal wretchedness .... a state of eternal torments and darkness ....

Thus innumerable beings would have had to expect this state because My righteousness could not simply cancel an unredeemed guilt. But these beings were unable to make

Amends themselves, for it was not just a question of the beings enduring a certain amount of punishment and thereby the guilt of sin being redeemed .... the point was that the beings had sinned against Love Itself and that the atonement of guilt could therefore only be a deed of love again ....

The point was that the beings had to kindle their love within themselves, then recognise the enormity of their guilt and with heartfelt love call upon Me for forgiveness .... But the fallen beings were no longer able to do so for they were totally without love .... And they were just as incapable of settling this immeasurable guilt since they, being completely hardened, had lost their self-awareness and thus no conscious contact existed with Me anymore. Something that was created to be alive had died and was incapable of returning to Me by its own effort.

Due to My love, wisdom and strength I could indeed awaken these dead beings into a fragile life again .... but the immense original sin remained and kept the being infinitely far apart from Me, and until this guilt had been redeemed a complete return to Me was impossible. And then again, no fallen being was capable of this since they were completely without love .... I foresaw all this since eternity and still would have been unable to avoid the apostasy of the beings without removing their freedom of will .... But I also foresaw since eternity a path of return to Me for these fallen beings, and I designed a plan of return and implemented it ....

And all beings who have remained with Me are taking part in the implementation of this eternal plan of Salvation, finding supreme happiness in doing so .... They are constantly permeated by My love and in full possession of light and strength .... And their love constantly impels them to assist the fallen spiritual substance which is taking the path through the works of creation that had emerged for the purpose of their return. Their love impels them to actively create and design the forms for the fallen spiritual substance which is taking the path through creation. And thus it attains the degree of maturity when it can make its own free decision again. And yet, its immense original sin is not and would eternally not be redeemed since the beings, having once voluntarily abandoned it, are without love. And for this reason a being of light offered Itself voluntarily to redeem this sin because it was full of love, and love will shoulder everything in order to please and help where it sees misery and suffering.

If you humans could evaluate the magnitude of the original sin you would also understand why the extent of suffering, which far surpassed human strength, had to be endured for the redemption of this sin .... which a 'human being' would never have been able to bear had love not given Him the strength, for love is strength, and only love endured the pain and suffering which the human being Jesus had voluntarily taken upon Himself.

He knew everything and thus He also knew that there was no hope for the fallen spirits ever to return to God and become happy if the sin was not redeemed .... He offered Himself as a being of light to achieve the act of Salvation, for as a being of light He was able to realise what awaited Him, but love was greater than the fate He was approaching as a human being .... For the being of light knew that It would be in constant contact with Me, and It also knew that I would constantly provide It with strength, because My fundamental nature is love and therefore I was present in the human being Jesus with My fundamental nature .... The 'human being' Jesus certainly accepted an unimaginable measure of suffering and pain, yet in view of the magnitude of untold beings' original sin such an excessive measure of suffering was necessary in order to satisfy My justice which could not be avoided .... or I would mercifully have erased the guilt for the sake of greater than great love.

The wretched state of the fallen beings was an eternal one without the act of the sacrifice of atonement .... Jesus' suffering, however, lasted a limited period of time and Jesus gladly offered the sacrifice to Me, because He thereby delivered the whole world from the original sin, even though every being determines the moment of its salvation itself through its will. Jesus has died on the cross on behalf of all people past, present and future, and His immeasurable suffering provided all fallen beings with forgiveness of their original sin. The path of return to Me has become passable by every single being, and due to His greater than great love people have been given the opportunity again to kindle love within themselves, so that they will change their nature and the unity can take place again, which would have been impossible without the redemption of the original sin ....

God's true representatives are appointed by God Himself ....

B.D. 8716 from January 5th 1964, taken from Book No. 91

Anyone who voluntarily offers to serve Me has achieved a certain degree of love which also provides the prerequisite of being suitable for service in My vineyard. And thus, all of you who genuinely want to work for Me and My kingdom can also rest assured that I accept your service. However, many people claim to be God's servants without being so because they lack these very prerequisites which guarantee cooperation with Me .... Yet it is not always easy for you humans to know the difference; it isn't always easy to recognise My true servants since the others also use fine words although they have no direct instruction from Me; they present themselves as My servants yet were not called by Me to this service. And only the rightful servant, having been appointed to his office by Myself, will recognise who speaks in My name, who truly works for Me and My kingdom. For My servants have to establish a living connection between themselves and Me, the God of love has to be recognised as a Father with Whom the child can enter into direct contact .... Yet generally people, and even those who deem themselves to be leaders of people, still look for Me in the distance, they are still far away from Me, they don't establish intimate contact, consequently, the one thing that characterises a true servant appointed by Me cannot take place, namely, that he is taught by Me directly, that he receives every instruction from Me directly, that he desires to hear My Word in heartfelt unity with Me and thus also receives the purest truth from Me ....

What nowadays still exists in the world as a spiritual movement, ecclesiastical functions and organisations, can just be considered a shell which lacks its kernel: the pure truth .... There will be people everywhere who do establish this intimate relationship with Me and who can be taught by My Word directly but they will have no success with their fellow human beings, either because they are bound to their spiritual movement and lack the resistance to oppose it when they have recognised the truth .... or they will be persecuted and prevented from working for Me and My kingdom .... For he who is My adversary and enemy has great power, yet it was granted to the adversary by people themselves, because they are all blind supporters who thoughtlessly and without reservation accepted everything they were given and no longer want to let go of it .... And thus the number of My true representatives on earth is not very large, yet they alone live in truth and therefore can also pass it on, if only people asked themselves just for once as to whether they really know the truth and, in desire of it, sincerely appealed to Me for clarification, for spiritual enlightenment .... However, as a rule they are indifferent as to what they believe, they don't express their own opinion about the spiritual knowledge that is imparted to them .... And they don't realise the effect of this indifference on their souls which will have to bear the consequences when they enter the kingdom of the beyond.

There are only a few who work for Me in My name, but through them I convey the pure truth to earth and also make it available for everyone who earnestly desires truth. However, I do not force anyone to accept it, just as I do not forcibly determine a human being to receive the pure truth from Me .... Everything is determined by free will which I do not infringe upon. And you who ask why I have allowed such distortion of truth to happen can find the explanation for it in this free will .... Every human being can kindle love in his heart and let it flare up ever more brightly .... And love emanates light .... So if he has the will to live in truth he can also recognise My adversary's fabrications, who always tries to undermine the truth, and he will approach Me directly and desire clarification from Me, which I will surely send to him .... And thus people who are willing to live a life of active love will feel repelled by misguided teachings and gladly and eagerly accept the truth .... The loving person will always consider Me first before all ecclesiastical organisations, irrespective of which school of thought they represent .... He will always take the path to Me and thus join the church which I established on earth Myself, which is built on living faith .... as a result of love.

You humans should all belong to this church, this church is the only beatifying church, for this church is a spiritual community of believers and its members can come from all schools of thought .... They only need to fulfil the commandments which I gave on earth Myself: The commandments of love for God and one's neighbour .... Then they will gain a living faith, they will enable My spirit to work within them, which is the characteristic of the church I founded on earth. Believe that I only judge you in accordance with your degree of love and believe that love also guarantees you wisdom, the realisation, the knowledge which corresponds to the truth. And where this working of the spirit cannot be found, My true representatives are not there, there are no servants whom I have called Myself and appointed to their teaching ministry .... For they have no teaching material themselves since they cannot receive it from Me directly and use what My adversary has time and again interspersed with errors .... which can no longer be considered the pure truth. Bear in mind that I Myself promised to 'guide you into truth ....' through My spirit. And ask yourselves why I gave you this promise since I had, after all, brought you the truth Myself when I lived on earth as Jesus the man .... From these words alone you can deduct that I knew that the truth would not remain pure for long amongst people and that I would be unable to prevent this if I didn't want to render people's will unfree ....

But time and again I made sure that the pure truth was conveyed to you knowing that only truth can make you blissfully happy and because I also know the state of those who enter the kingdom of the beyond with misguided spiritual knowledge. In order that you can be blissfully happy you must be able to bestow the truth upon those who find themselves in spiritual darkness .... Hence you must first possess the truth yourselves and completely free yourselves from wrong spiritual knowledge .... For you will surely understand that conditions in the material world would not be so confused if people's heart were filled by the light of truth. And from the earthly state around you, you can draw your conclusion as to people's low spiritual level, the sole reason for which rests in heartlessness and its resulting total spiritual blindness. Anyone who wants to become enlightened will be illuminated .... and the will of anyone who wants to remain in darkness shall be respected, yet his fate one day will be a very painful one ....

Amen

Further indication of disasters and war ....

B.D. 8717 from January 6th 1964, taken from Book No. 91

The forthcoming time will burden you extraordinarily, for world events will enter into a new phase, the restlessness amongst nations will increase, each one will consider the other as the enemy and nothing will be seriously done to establish peace even though all people will be longing for it. But materialism is the driving force of all plans and undertakings, and everyone aims to gain the greatest advantage, yet no one is fair in his thoughts and intentions and motivated by good attitudes while misfortunes increase fear and unrest, for God Himself still tries to make Himself known to people, since only the belief in Him and His might is the right counterbalance for all adversities and afflictions which you humans are approaching.

Consequently, there will also be more natural disasters, so that a higher Power will be acknowledged, for whatever people do will only ever deepen their hatred for each other but not lead to spiritual reflection. Heartlessness will take on shapes which will soon be unsurpassed, and the state of people warring against each other will therefore become ever more determined, there will be anything but peace amongst people although the great conflagration will not have yet erupted but will not fail to materialise. People themselves live their lives indifferently and only few spend thought on the fact that this state of affairs cannot continue for long. Yet the people in charge are generally spiritually blind .... there will be much talk but these will be just empty phrases which will not be followed by actions. For the earthly hardship will not be remedied where it is clearly recognisable and since the commandment of neighbourly love obviously remains unfulfilled the spiritual state cannot be good either, although they will be living in earthly prosperity and will apparently not have to go without anything .... The souls, however, will go hungry, and yet people will be unapproachable for spiritual instructions which would provide the souls with the right nourishment.

People should look around themselves open-eyed and be seriously critical of their own lives, then they will learn to understand and be able to observe the forthcoming events with the right realisation which, although they have always been announced, only now become more significant in view of the serious difficulties of those who are directly affected by it .... Yet these are the last days, and since people no longer have any faith it requires especially severe strokes of fate in order to disturb them, so that a few will find their faith in a God and Creator again to Whom they owe their existence .... in order to make them think why and for what reason this God and Creator has created them .... It is a matter of life or death for you humans, of infinite beatitude or torment and anguish, of brightest light or absolute darkness .... And thus, anyone who wants to be happy and live eternally in light has to fulfil his God and Creator's will, he has to try to discover this will and then live a life of love for God and his fellow human being .... If, however, he does not believe in a God then his whole earthly life will have been pointless, he will constantly contravene the law of divine order, and revoking the laws of divine order will always result in chaos, and you humans are now irrevocably approaching this chaos ....

And it will not just affect you spiritually but the earthly world will also be completely turned upside down, time and again you will receive news about natural disasters, accidents and other calamities, for there will no longer be any harmony and peace in a world which is devoid of all love and faith .... But whoever has found the path to God, who endeavours to fulfil His commandments of love, who hands himself over to Him in spirit and in truth, who prays to Him and appeals for His protection, will also surely receive it, for these people belong to His small flock who will persevere until the end, who will not let their faith waver, who will stay together and carry God deep within their hearts and who will therefore be lifted up in the end if God does not recall them to His kingdom sooner, if it is His will ....

Again and again your attention will be drawn to what lies ahead and comes ever closer to you, even if you are of little faith .... you will be unable to prevent it, and you can, with absolute certainty, stand up for what is announced to you, for the point is that people should be told that everything has been taken into consideration in the Plan of eternity, that everything is dependent on God's will Who, however, proceeds in His wisdom and love in order to accomplish the work of return to Him, and will also achieve the goal one day ....

Amen

Review of the light beings on the agony state before ....

B.D. 8718 from January 7th 1964, taken from Book No. 91

The path you covered before your embodiment as a human being you walked without ego-consciousness, and yet in the utmost agony of bondage. As a human being you are deprived of the recollection for this endlessly long time in wretchedness. But one day you will be able to look back and see everything, and only your degree of maturity will protect you from dying of horror, for you will only then be allowed to experience this retrospection when you stand in the light and then recognize everything right and good what I let come over you for the sake of your perfection. Only I Myself and all spiritual full of light know about the agonizing state of the fallen spiritual on the way of return to Me. It goes its earthly way in extreme misery and agony in a bound state, but since it is without I-consciousness, since the former "being" is dissolved into innumerable little particles, it certainly suffers unspeakably, but without being able to think about it. You will now object that only the ego-consciousness can feel agonies .... and this is probably also the case in the stage as a human being, that he is insensitive to pain as soon as he is put into an unconscious state .... But this does not apply to the spiritual without ego-consciousness bound in the works of creation .... But also the kind of agonies cannot be made comprehensible to you .... It is predominantly the state of compulsion in which the (once) created is in fullest freedom, which now causes it greatest agonies, which again are not to be understood physically, but spiritual agonies are to be assessed far worse. You can only be informed that the state of agony is unimaginable, but how these agonies are, that is not to be explained to you men, because spiritual things are not comprehensible for you, as long as you have not yet reached a certain maturity. But once your whole earth course lies behind you, and you can clearly survey it from the beginning of the apostasy until the final return to Me. But then you yourselves stand in a degree of light that you always just rejoice and thank the creator of heaven and earth, Who wanted to prepare the greatest happiness for you and therefore also did not prevent the former apostasy, but Who also makes an effort in love for every single fallen being that it again returns home to its father house. As soon as you have therefore reached this degree of light your own will is also exceedingly great to take part in this work of return, because you know about the exceedingly great misery of the still wretched and you want to make the course through the works of creation easier for him and therefore seek to promote his serving functions. Therefore you will then always only be intent on creating such outer forms for the bound, where it can serve .... Because the fallen being matures according to this. Therefore the degree of light of a redeemed being is exceedingly significant, for according to its knowledge and overview it can now always work and create only in the redeeming sense .... But between that world of light and the still bound spiritual there is now still the state of the I-conscious beings .... of men on earth and of the souls in the hereafter .... to be considered, for these I-conscious beings are always in the state of the spiritual beings on earth .... for these self-aware beings must be guided and cared for in accordance with their free will by those beings of light which are only active on those self-aware beings as executors of My will into which they have completely entered. But also this state of the still immature souls is known to them, and also now they try everything to just change the unhappy state into the state of happiness, of intimate union with Me .... But the free will of man (I-conscious beings) very often limits their willingness to help, when they openly resist spiritual help, when the inclination downwards, towards matter, is still too powerful and they do not resist it .... The being of light can only have an effect according to will, but will also not leave any opportunity unused where it can give help to men (beings). If you men would have the recollection of the time of development lying behind you .... you would not hesitate for a second and fulfil My will .... But you do this in a certain compulsion of will, out of fear and horror of a repeated walk through earth creation, and such a success I do not seek to achieve because it meant a restriction for unlimited happiness, because the being could no longer become perfect because its will would not be free .... But again and again you are admonished, again and again it is held up to you, which dreadful time of development lies behind you, and you have to believe in it, because no proofs can be given to you for it. And one day you will also be able to understand the great significance of your earthly life as a human being, and you will recognize that your God's and father's love was constantly concerned about you in order to release you from the bound state, because you can only be happy in unrestricted freedom ...._>Amen

Explanation of the word "christ" ....

B.D. 8719 from January 8th 1964, taken from Book No. 92

Much has become a wrong concept to you men because you were not enlightened truthfully, but human intellectual thinking is used there where only the spirit should have been questioned to receive a true answer. And different expressions or words were also sometimes used for the same thing, which likewise confused you humans and deprived you of all clarity of thought. And also this was the work of My opponent because the more unclear spiritual problems became for you the more he could plant his erroneous seed and confuse the terms even more. But I only wait until you ask questions, until you desire clarification, because exactly the desire for truth is determining whether I can hand it out to you .... And you are also to become aware yourselves of what still causes you to ask questions, only then you will appreciate and also understand a right answer: Through My word from above I impart to you knowledge about the reason and significance of the work of salvation .... about My human manifestation in Jesus and about His becoming one with Me .... And I make it understandable to you by which the union with Me can be achieved, because it is also to be the aim of all of you in life to restore this union with Me, which you once had loosened voluntarily .... I declare to you the deification of the works created by Me, the 'becoming of creatures as children' .... and that is why, so that all of you may also aspire to this privilege in order to reach eternal bliss .... I explain to you the effect of a life of love, which was obviously shown in the man Jesus. So I am anxious to introduce you to truth, which you men no longer possess for a long time and true thinking alone is already a degree of light, which you all are to reach and increase in earth life. Especially the mystery of My becoming man in Jesus must be revealed to you men, as far as you are able to grasp it, because you are to know that the cause of the apostasy from Me was that the beings were not able to see Me and I became a visible God for them in Jesus .... but that I and Jesus are not to be thought of as separate or imaginable as two beings .... For precisely the becoming one of Jesus with Me is the great mystery which can only ever be hinted at to you, but can never be fully grasped by you .... Therefore the divinity was in all fullness in the man Jesus, because He was filled with love and I Myself am love in My original substance .... Love therefore was the light in Jesus, which let Him become a God .... as also all beings once created by Me are to deify themselves through love and then therefore have also reached their last aim .... But now it is necessary to explain to you the term "christ" .... And this can only be done in such a way that through the word "christ" the completed unification with God is already proclaimed .... that therefore "Jesus" can only be spoken of as the human being, who still stood before the complete fusion with God .... that however .... when the word "christ" is pronounced, the "incarnation" of God in Jesus is already acknowledged as having taken place .... that "Jesus Christ" is the same concept as "God" .... If men now speak of the "christ in them," this is the same term as the "divine spark of spirit in every human heart," which through love is to gain dominion over the whole man .... which is thus to shine so brightly that the deification of man .... the union with Me .... can take place. The man Jesus contained Me in all My fullness in Himself, and therefore Christ or God was in Him. Man, however, certainly harbours a divine spark in himself, but he must first let it become a bright flame in himself before he is filled with the divine flow of love-power, so that he deifies himself and can now say 'Christ is in Me', that I therefore can also be in him in all fullness. Thus this presence of Mine in him depends only on whether and to what extent he performs works of love, for every work of love confirms My presence, and every man draws Me Myself to himself through works of love: "He who abides in love abides in Me, and I in him." Between Jesus and Me there was no separation, He was completely merged with Me, He was Jesus Christ .... God Himself, and this is the deep meaning of the word 'christ' .... which precisely only Jesus could and can claim for Himself, for although I can be in all fullness in a person through his love and he establishes the intimate union with Me, he will still remain an individual being as which he enjoys most incomparable beatitudes, whereas Jesus is and remains God for all eternity. God .... christ .... love .... the divine spirit .... everything is the same concept, only you men first have to know about all connections so that you also grasp these concepts or words correctly .... But this knowledge is not often available, the actual mission of the man Jesus and His extraordinary position in the spiritual kingdom is not known to many people, but most also resist any enlightenment about it. They hold fast to intellect results, they see Jesus as just one of many who walked across earth and attained high perfection, yet they still place a boundary between Him and Me, they still see Me outside of His human person .... My human manifestation in Him is incomprehensible to them, and they do not accept the right explanation about it .... They certainly ascribe to Him the highest perfection He could achieve on earth and call Him 'master' .... , but they also concede this designation to many others who likewise lived a life of self-denial and love, but they do not know that Jesus cannot be compared to these, that He is so merged with Me as the eternal love that only one being can be recognized and called upon as God, for He and I is one .... And I do not unthinkingly impart this knowledge to you, for from the truth of your thinking, from the brightness of your knowing .... on the light that shines within you .... one day your bliss will depend, and whatever you still spread as wrong spiritual knowledge you must first discard before you can be granted pure happiness in the beyond, eternal bliss .... And you can only do one thing: practic1e yourselves in loving activity, for through the love in you your spirit enlightens itself, and you will suddenly come to realization when you enter the kingdom of the beyond with a high degree of love .... But you can already attain knowledge on earth if only you intimately ask Me for it, if you desire the pure truth ...._>Amen

Light beings help vineyard workers ....

B.D. 8720 from January 9th 1964, taken from Book No. 92

Countless light beings have joined you to promote the fulfilment of the mission, which you have taken on, as every man serving Me eagerly and unselfishly can be sure of all spiritual help, because it is about a great work to supply men with that, what they lack and still is exceedingly necessary: truth, which goes out from Me directly. None of My servants is without spiritual protection, and that is why everyone can go through earth life completely carefree and be convinced of it that My light messengers protect him on all ways and always only let that come over him what serves him for his soul's salvation, because they act and work on you in My will. You can fully entrust yourselves to these light beings; you can submit all your secret worries to them, as you do it to Me Myself, because they are so intimately connected with Me that they also always only carry My will in them and therefore help you, as I Myself have promised you My protection and blessing, because you serve Me. A relationship of love exists between the inhabitants of the kingdom of light and those on earth who eagerly want to serve Me .... And the thoughts of the latter are always so guided that their work is successful .... that souls are still rescued, which are in great danger to get lost when the end comes. But if you, My servants on earth, could see how you are surrounded by beings of light, you would truly rejoice and exult and no longer imagine yourselves on earth .... But such bliss would impair your serving activity in My vineyard, you would not be able to put yourselves into the misery of fellow human beings to whom you are to bring spiritual help .... For this help can only be given by people, otherwise the beings of light could have a direct effect .... but which is not possible due to people's lower degree of maturity and their will, which is often turned away from God. You therefore have to do this work and establish contact with fellow human beings and try to change their attitude. You can certainly always rely on the help of the beings of light, but you yourselves must also remain clear and sober and must not be under a certain compulsion, but which every unusual experience would mean for you if you want to be suitable to work for Me and My kingdom. But as I Myself love every one of My vineyard workers, because he is active for Me in free will, so also the love of countless light beings belongs to you, who can appreciate the value of your activity and also know how necessary it is, and therefore do everything to support you. But I know if and when I can initiate you more closely into spiritual connections, and I also know if and when I can open the spiritual eyes for you that you can see the crowd of My messengers of light around you .... And that is why I also consider My light children differently, because every degree of love is different and also determines the kind of My revelation towards him. And I Myself also always determine the living conditions of every individual according to his work for Me and My kingdom. What can be possible with one excludes with the other, what I alone can justify, but is not to hinder you in your work for My kingdom. Every man needs a different environment, and every man is assigned his own field of activity; all men are different, with whom the individual comes into contact, and so every task is also to be solved differently. But every redeemer work carries its blessing in itself and is the actual mission of a man who is prepared to serve Me. And when one is given information about spiritual connections, then the other needs to know nothing about these, and still everyone can accomplish exactly the task, which I have set for him, because power is constantly supplied to him and spiritual helpers stand by his side, even if he does not see them .... For his will shall remain free .... The power, which every vineyard worker needs for his work, goes to him, because he is cared for in love by My messengers of light, but they will not openly make themselves known to him, so as not to confuse his thoughts and to divert them to unimportant problems, which once will solve themselves when it is time. But you can constantly be certain of My love and care, for anyone who serves Me is Mine, and I will never let him leave Me again for ever ...._>Amen

Debates about truth must be conducted in love ....

B.D. 8721 from January 10th 1964, taken from Book No. 92

Great patience and perseverance is necessary to introduce men to truth, be it on the part of the light beings on earth or also in the spiritual kingdom or on the part of men, who are in possession of pure truth on earth and are to pass it on to their fellowmen. Because as soon as the degree of maturity of the latter still leaves something to be desired, they lack understanding and often also good will, and truth cannot be forced upon any man. And only one thing then promises right success: when love offers truth .... Because no being can resist love in the long run .... First the eternal love Itself guides the truth to people .... It guides the truth through the light beings everywhere where there is still darkness on earth or in the hereafter .... And love is a light .... Therefore a light shines into the darkness, which can also be seen by the souls and is felt as light, as benefit, to which they open themselves, and this light will again shine on earth where love fills a heart, and then it will also be recognized and accepted as a gift of favour from God .... And again, the person who passes it on must also live a life of love; love for his fellow human being must motivate him to radiate the light further. Then it will also be accepted on the part of fellowman and be recognized as gift of favour. But it requires much patience and perseverance, because not all men kindle a light in themselves and therefore will often be more resistance than approval. However, if a light bearer is devoted to his fellow human being in love, then success will also not fail to materialize; his love will awaken counter-love, and love is a power which always has an effect in divine order. But divine order is perfection; divine order is everything what leads to perfection. And that is why men must reach truth, then they will also move in divine order; they will lead a love life and perfect themselves. You men, who are now to carry My word out into the world, who are to spread the gospel of love and also want to record a success, you are not allowed to get tired to give love to fellowman, and therefore illuminate him with your love light, and such a love ray does not remain without effect, as soon as only the will of fellowman is good .... But if he turns away from you completely, then the opponent has the supremacy, and you cannot wrest the soul from him, as long as this professes him. So also the light beings in the hereafter have little success with the souls, which are still slaves to the opponent, and since they also respect the will, they also have to muster much patience and perseverance until they achieve progress with the souls entrusted to their care. Because no soul, be it on earth or also in the hereafter, is without spiritual protection, without spiritual guidance, only its will is and remains free, and this can always only love change, what also can often last endless long times, but once still voluntarily the soul lets itself be defeated by love. You men on earth, who are to supply fellowmen with truth as bearers of light, you must become strong yourselves in love; you must open yourselves to the divine ray of love light that it fills your heart completely, then also the work on the erring souls will always become easier for you; you will be able to defeat every resistance by virtue of your love .... Jesus Christ's teaching of love will be accepted, and then there will also be a guarantee that people will arrive at the pure truth, for love illuminates even their hearts and lets them recognize brightly and clearly where their aim is and how they can reach this aim. Every influence is denied to God's opponent because he is recognized, unmasked and his work against truth is now no longer possible .... once truth has penetrated and you only ever need to oppose him and his work with love and you will beat him completely, you will defeat him by virtue of your love against which he is completely powerless ...._>Amen

Lack of knowledge and disbelief in God's address ....

B.D. 8722 from January 11th 1964, taken from Book No. 92

You will know the truth if you allow yourselves to be taught by Me .... But you humans usually don't know about this self-evident process because I, as your Father, will always speak to My children if only you are willing to listen to Me. You need never fear that error will be conveyed to you, for I Am Truth Myself .... Nevertheless, you must also gratefully accept and utilise My great gift of grace, otherwise you cannot be given the knowledge which grants you an insight into all spheres. For this reason I can only ever provide this knowledge to people who will certainly make correct use of this spiritual wealth, who will accept it into their hearts and also take care to distribute it with the best of intentions and to the best of their ability .... The acceptance of My Word from above therefore commits the recipient to passing on what is conveyed to him from Me and what his fellow human beings urgently need for the maturing of their souls .... But then he can also rest assured that he will find My every support, since I truly know how urgently people need to be informed of My Word because they require both strength as well as light and both are offered to them in the form of My Word. Yet the person being offered My delectable spiritual information must also be willing to accept it. It always depends on free will as to whether it will be a blessing for him, whether he will receive light and strength and progress in his development .... Many a person will enjoy the spiritual bread with real hunger and refresh himself with the living water, and he will truly draw strength from the Word and mature psychologically. For others it will be mere reading material which is taken in more by the intellect than the heart, hence the same degree of strength and light cannot flow to them because their will desires nothing else but to acquire knowledge which might just as well be called worldly knowledge even if its contents are spiritual .... But the soul does not make beneficial use of it .... only the person's intellect reflects on it and chooses spiritual topics because he is inwardly urged by the soul but he does not impart to the soul the spiritual nourishment it needs.

However, I know the adversity the souls on earth will suffer if they receive no obvious support from My side. Hence I try to speak to the souls in a Fatherly way, so that they feel like children and subsequently approach Me trustingly. Then I can nourish them with the bread of heaven, I can lead them to the spring where they can draw the living water .... People's lack of knowledge about the divine revelations serves as evidence for how distant they still are from their Father and that they have not established the right relationship of a child to Me .... For the right bond with Me makes it seem quite natural to them that they can converse with the Father. And they listen to what I say to them. The decisive factor is always the will to be closely connected to Me and to be accepted by Me as a child which the Father wants to please at all times. And this requires firm faith in Me as its God and Creator, Who wants to please His children with love .... In that case the person will also find the thought acceptable that the Father communicates with His child and he will appreciate divine revelations and heed them as the only truth. This is the easiest path of return to Me for a human being in earthly life, for if this path is taken, whereby the human being closely unites with his Father as a child, the Father will take complete possession of him and no longer leave him to the adversary .... For then I will be entitled to My once created being, since it will want to join Me once again and will acknowledge Me as its God and Father. But when the end is near almost no human being will believe that God is revealing Himself .... He will see Me as a very distant Being, if he still believes in the Power Which gave him life. And yet I will only be trying to gain My once created being's trust so that it will hand itself over to Me as a child and thus establish the necessary bond with Me in order to hear My loving Words. Then it will only depend on the person as to how he receives and utilises My divine revelations .... Yet the fact that he receives them will also assure him light and strength which will never be ineffective .... The fact that I can speak to him will also signify him as a servant in My vineyard, for then he will conscientiously accomplish all tasks which I assign to him .... He will no longer live a separate life from Me on earth but will work with Me as My servant and, time and again, be spoken to as a child which is dearly loved by its Father, which also reciprocates His love .... Then nothing will be able to separate the child from its Father, then the person will have reached the goal on account of which he lives on earth .... he will be and remain united with the Father for all eternity ....

Amen

Confessing before the world in the final battle of faith ....

B.D. 8723 from January 12th 1964, taken from Book No. 92

Again and again you will be given information where you still move in wrong thinking, where you still do not possess the right light .... where you still lack truth. And there are always areas, which only the spirit in you can open up for you, because intellect results are unprovable and therefore also often change. But the spirit will "guide you into all truth", as I have promised you. If you now assume that My opponent is superior to Me in power, because he is very obviously active in the last time and achieves far greater successes than I in the fight for the souls of men, then you still think wrong, because his power is alone the result of your free will. So you could rather say that you are stronger than I because I do not touch your free will but also know about the outcome of everything that you men still do in association with the prince of darkness until the end .... And therefore I give him and you free rein but none of you will triumph but you will have to bear the dreadful consequences of the evil because My power nevertheless then sets in when the measure of My opponent is exceeded .... (the adversary exceeds his authority) .... Only the deeply believing person will know about the correlations and, despite all external appearances, steadfastly believe in My love, wisdom and power. All others will doubt a God of love and strength because they can follow the conduct of him who is against Me and against all faith. And it will also require a strong faith to stand firm in this time because the goings-on of the adversary will assume proportions that let him be recognized very clearly. But men keep their eyes closed and are willing to him what he also demands from them .... So then the faith struggle will break out .... And that is the time, which is announced in word and script, the time when you have to openly confess before the world for Me or for him .... And this open confession I demand from you, and you will then not be able to say that an inward acknowledgment of Myself is enough, because I Myself have said to you: "Whoever confesses Me before the world, him I will also confess before the father ...." And this is only ever to be understood in such a way that you must openly stand up for Me when this decision is demanded of you. It is the last, certainly very difficult test of faith, but which My own will also pass, for they will also draw the strength from Me, they will therefore take all adversity upon themselves because they stand in truth and know what it is all about .... But those who have no living faith, who do not belong to the church which I Myself founded on earth, their faith will fail, they will not stand firm when an open confession is demanded of them, they will deny Me, and they will not be able to excuse themselves with the fact that they believe in Me in their heart, for only this open confession will give the human being the strength to persevere until the end, it will stamp them as My own whom I Myself will fetch into the kingdom of peace .... And all of you will have to muster this courage of confession if you also want to receive the highest price for it, to live on the new earth in happiness and peace, where no suffering and no fear oppresses you anymore. And also everyone will muster this courage of confession who has reached living faith and truth through a life of love, while the dead christians will fail, even if they hold high and highest offices in church organizations, but which are nevertheless more worldly orientated and represent false doctrines and therefore muster no power to resist. And then the work of My adversary will certainly come to light openly, and men will doubt the power of a God because that power appears far stronger. However, only a small flock will remain loyal to Me, and that is why the end has also irrevocably come, for the majority of people are devils who no longer have the right to revive the earth, who will be plunged into the deepest depths again and will have to start their path of development upwards again there, because redemption is no longer possible in any other way. And you men are therefore also to move in this in right thinking; you are to know that also this is a conscious deception through My opponent when he wants to make you believe that an inner confession to Me is enough when the decision is demanded of you. You must be open and clear and confess Me before the world, otherwise you will fail in the last battle on this earth ...._>Amen

Scrutinising the origin of a revelation ....

B.D. 8724 from January 13th 1964, taken from Book No. 92

Time and again I will ensure that the truth is granted to you as long as you merely desire it. You can receive a wealth of knowledge, as I have promised, yet you must give occasion to it yourselves by requesting it from the One Who alone can distribute the truth, for you cannot gain realisation against your will. And only truth enables you to attain the state of realisation, the possession of true knowledge .... If error is offered to you, then you must recognise it first before you reject it, and this also involves your sincere desire for truth. However, it is very difficult to recognise the error in a world of darkness, in My adversary's sphere who takes action against all light .... And yet, it is possible for someone who strives towards Me consciously, who recognises a purpose of existence in his life on earth and desires an explanation about everything, for he will take the path to Me, Whom he recognises as the origin of himself, as Creator of everything visible to him. Thus he establishes the connection with Me through questioning thoughts and thereby is on the right path to truth, which only comes forth from Me, the Eternal Truth Itself .... Dense darkness has been spread across Earth by My adversary's activity, people's thoughts are totally confused and neither can they find their way through the darkness if they don't receive truthful explanations for everything. Wrong thinking however .... error .... results in the fact that people don't grasp the meaning of their life and thus do not comply with their task on earth so that, at the end of their earthly existence, they will have made no psychological progress whatsoever. It is My adversary's intention that they shall not find and take the path to Me and to eternal life. You humans have no idea how much harm you do to your soul if it lives in error, if it does not recognise Me correctly, if it holds a completely wrong concept about My nature and therefore cannot love Me .... which, however, is necessary in order to join Me again ....

And so I will convey the pure truth to you over and over again and only require your free will to take possession of the truth. This forms the basis for My revelations which are repeatedly conveyed to Earth because you human are in urgent need of them .... The Book of the Fathers has lost its significance to you, it certainly also contains truth but must be read with an enlightened spirit in order to be recognised as truth .... And since the end is imminent I provide you with clarification in the most comprehensive and simple way. I no longer speak to you in metaphors but reveal everything which, until now, seemed incomprehensible and veiled to you, for I know that there is not much time left and you should make good use of this short time. You should draw the strength from the pure and unadulterated truth coming directly from Me to work at improving yourselves and attain such firm faith that you will persevere until the end, that you will prevail in the final battle of faith, but only the truth will facilitate this, which shows you your relationship with Me so that you will hand yourselves over to Me with absolute trust, so that you, like children, will take refuge in your Father and He will draw you to Himself with loving mercy. Hence, I transmit My Word to Earth, which guarantees you purest truth because without truth you cannot become blissfully happy .... Nevertheless, you humans will always dispute amongst each other as to who has the truth, and everyone will want to claim this right for himself, despite the fact that everyone endorses different spiritual knowledge .... For this reason the origin of the spiritual knowledge will have to be established .... Intellectually acquired knowledge has not originated from Me, for I only express Myself through the spirit which rests in every person's heart, which needs to be ignited and thus makes contact with the eternal Father-Spirit .... Who will then guide the human being into truth, as I have proclaimed. And only knowledge which can show this origin will correspond to the pure truth, it will lead you humans towards beatitude if you desire and accept it of your own free will and thereby make direct contact with Me with a request to teach you everything you need to know. Nevertheless, you can rest assured that I will never fail to enlighten you humans and to impart pure truth upon you, because I know the danger you are in when you walk through the dense darkness, since every misguided teaching is darkness for your soul. Then you are still controlled by the prince of darkness, who will do whatever it takes in order to withhold the truth from you because he knows that he will lose you as soon as you learn to recognise and love Me as a result of the truth .... For then you will strive towards Me consciously and I will embrace you and never ever let you go again ....

Amen

The spring vouches for purest water of life ....

B.D. 8725 from January 14th 1964, taken from Book No. 92

You never need to fear that the spring of the water of life dries up when you want to draw from it to refresh yourselves because already this will opens it and lets My love stream flow in incessantly, at which all of you men are to refresh and strengthen yourselves. And the food is always offered to you, which you need for your soul. Because I know about their needs, and I cover them, because I love you, who come to Me yourselves to let yourselves be fed and watered. And this intake of food should truly be and remain the most important thing for you, and you would not regret a minute, which you use for the salvation of your soul, when you could one day see the effect in the spiritual kingdom, when you enter this richly laden with spiritual treasures and can now work with it for your own happiness. But it will always mean for you an act of self-conquest as long as you still live in the world, from which you first had to break away to now seek out and find the source, but which amply compensates you for your conquest, for the change of residence, which you carry out when you exchange earth with the spiritual kingdom. But what is offered to you at the spring, from which the living water flows out, that is such sufficient food for your soul that it must inevitably mature, because it is a direct receipt of light and power; it is the transfer of My divine word in direct form to a man, who hopes for the right food for his soul at the source of all life. He will always be offered what he needs, his thinking will always be stimulated and directed towards profound truths which he cannot receive anywhere else than from Me Myself .... In truth his soul will be offered food which is unsurpassable in its nutritional value and which already makes up a part of his happiness when he enters the spiritual kingdom after the death of his body. But the intellect will always cause inhibitions for man because he cannot follow into the area, which is opened for him at the source of life, because always only the soul is receiver of the water of life, and this will only after long work make the intellect willing and able to receive for the spiritual material, which it receives directly from Me. And that is why man must muster a great will power to go the walk to the source, which I have opened Myself, despite the secret resistance of the intellect, and he must first have received a measure of food for his soul, before he now can also cause the intellect to take part in the knowledge, which is obvious result of the love current, which flows incessantly out of the eternal source of light and power. Then the resistance will decrease, because the intellect of a man, whose soul has become strong through the supply of right food, will no longer resist to accept the spiritual knowledge as truth, and man will now also want to pass it on .... He will also try to draw the attention of fellowmen to the source, to lead them that they likewise refresh themselves with the water of life. Only where I have opened a spring Myself can you men accept this pure, life-giving water; the word of God is offered to you in all purity, unadulterated and clear, as it has taken its start from Me. And you are to praise yourselves blessed that you have found this spring, that you were willing to lie down at it, to bend down and to draw in order to strengthen yourselves for your pilgrimage across the earth. You can never again become powerless, because the water keeps its power, which you were allowed to draw, because it is My love radiation, which touches you and which helps your soul to perfection. And I will never let a spring run dry from Me where weary travellers gather to be strengthened and refreshed by Me Myself .... And therefore come to Me all you who are weary and burdened .... take the path to the source and receive strength and fortification from Me, for in all your hardship and suffering you need help, because you alone cannot overcome them without My assistance and because this can always be granted to you if you turn to Me yourselves and thus enter into living contact with Me .... Therefore come to Me and you will not regret it, for what you receive from Me is of inestimable value, because My love distributes to you an immeasurable amount of light and strength and grace ...._>Amen

The Word-recipient’s task: Purification of Christ’s (spoilt) teaching ....

B.D. 8726 from January 15th 1964, taken from Book No. 92

You humans can come to Me with every problem, I will help you on a worldly and spiritual level so that you will never feel lonely and abandoned but always feel the care of My love which embraces everyone who endeavours to fulfil My will .... And you will feel My response in your heart, you will experience My advice as thoughts to which you inwardly agree, which you would like to and can implement because they are My inner instructions for you. And by the same token I will put the appropriate feeling of resistance into your heart if something does not comply with My will, always provided that you are inwardly connected to Me and request My guidance and help. Because I want to be asked for My blessing and assistance in all your undertakings, then it will also be granted to you ....

An unusual task was given to you in your earthly life: to receive the pure truth from Me and to pass it on truthfully .... thereby exposing misconceptions which had crept in through My adversary's influence, and to do whatever it takes to contribute towards the purification of My already completely spoilt teaching .... This task demands an ever ready will and steadfastness, because a servant who has voluntarily accepted such a task will be confronted by the greatest obstacles and difficulties, because it is an almost impossible undertaking to take action against the immense error which the bulk of the population is already subject to and which mighty quarters also protect and support as God's truth .... Trust Me that the light has to shine brightly if it is to break through such darkness as is presently engulfing the earth .... Hence the brightest light of substantial radiating strength has to come from Me, a light which will expose every error and which shines so brightly that it cannot be extinguished .... But the bearer of My light has to shield himself from all deceptive lights, from artificial external illuminations, he himself should not allow anything untrue to come close to him which could lessen the radiance of My eternal light of truth .... He has to carefully protect the spiritual knowledge, which was radiated as a true light from above to earth, from every addition by another source ....

Because you should know that time and again there have indeed been vessels of good will who endeavoured to discover the truth and who subsequently proclaimed this as the truth to their fellow human beings .... but by doing so they also used their intellect and did not allow for the pure working of the spirit .... and thus new schools of thought were constantly formed, which can in fact all claim an ounce of truth and yet could not be referred to as pure truth .... For this reason I constantly reveal Myself, because I know the darkness which covers the earth .... Only by way of My direct revelations, only by way of the working of My spirit, can the pure truth be sent to you. However, you should also support it now and protect it from infiltration by other spiritual knowledge. But anyone receiving My Word from Me should also sincerely support it in the knowledge that he can only receive the purest spiritual knowledge from Me. Then he should also eagerly work on My behalf by giving this unaltered spiritual knowledge to his fellow human beings and as far as possible without any comments, because his intellectual activity can result in changes again which are not in accordance with My revelation .... unless the person speaks in My name for Me and My kingdom, in which case I put the words into his mouth. Then he need not fear that he might add his own thoughts which contradict My revelations.

And thus all My workers are given a task by Me which they are assigned to fulfil .... I put everyone in the place where they can work for Me .... Nevertheless, the degree of maturity of My servants on earth differs, hence My revelations are also of a diverse nature but in regards to their contents of truth they do not deviate from one another. Likewise, their state of maturity determines the activity of the various recipients as well .... They will always be able to favourably influence their environment and even make use of their own spiritual knowledge to help other people, thus they will also 'radiate light' ....

But in another way than is your task: to purify the presently existing teaching .... which is known as 'the teaching of Christ' .... from all lies and deception .... from all errors that had crept in and caused immense spiritual hardship, which humanity is suffering in the last days .... Because no proper light shines for people to find the path to Me anymore, they are walking on dark paths which lead towards the abyss, necessitating a brightly radiating light to shine into the darkness .... This is an immense and formidable task which will receive My every support as long as My will is fulfilled, as long as the conditions, which I constantly expect, which guarantee the right kind of light, are observed: that My servant himself wants the pure truth .... And this also includes the condition that he protects it from any addition which has not emanated directly from Me to him.

You humans have to understand that, although I can sharpen your power of judgment, you nevertheless cannot keep track of My adversary's conduct, who often approaches you in the disguise of an angel of light and offers you his spiritual values again, because he always seeks to undermine the truth and his power in the last days is particularly compelling .... And because you are not entirely safe from his assaults as long as you live on earth as human beings, resist all temptation to mix My pure spiritual knowledge with your own additions, be content with what I Myself offer you and do not join a community which aims to merge with other spiritual knowledge, even if you deem it not to be in opposition to the truth ....

And always remember that I Myself will give you everything you need, and that you don't need what I do not give to you .... Remember that it is easy for My adversary to cause confusion merely by adding a misguided word to the pure truth .... Because a fierce battle is being waged between the kingdom of light and that of darkness. However, the pure truth only comes from Me, and you should do your utmost keep it pure and give your will to Me alone, then you will do whatever corresponds to My Will ....

Amen

Public confession during the battle of faith ....

B.D. 8727 from January 16th 1964, taken from Book No. 92

You, who will experience the time of the battle of faith, will be subject to great demands when you have to decide for or against Me .... For you will have to confess publicly, and that means that you either have to deny Me completely or stand up for Me with conviction. And you will be forced by brutal means to make a decision, which you will fear if your faith in Me is not strong enough so that you will only ever abide in Me with full trust, and I will not disappoint your faith. Precisely this battle of faith will still have to be waged before the end, because only then will the separation of the goats from the sheep take place, for then the flock of My Own will have emerged whom My adversary will be unable to sway because they possess a living faith and are not mere Christians who only adhere to formalities, who will fail in the final battle. The enemy's coercive measures will indeed be such that people believe that they must comply if they want to go on living .... yet anyone with a living faith knows that everything is possible to Me, that I can even maintain people beyond the law, since nothing is impossible for Me and since for the believer it is no longer compulsive faith. However, you must not reach a compromise by believing that you can preserve Me in your hearts and deny Me in public, for I have demanded that you profess Me before the world so that I then will also be able to acknowledge you in the kingdom of the beyond.

My adversary will use unusual procedures in order to repeal Me, or so he believes, and this is the time when all power will be taken from him again, because he is only using it against Me and oversteps his authority as soon as he wants to render Me ineffective .... You will have to muster a great deal of strength, yet this strength will flow to My Own, they will draw strength from their strong faith; they know that I Am present to them, and this conviction will also enable them to openly stand up for Me and My name. Regardless of how fierce the attacks will be, regardless of how brutal the proceedings .... with My support you will be able to endure everything, for I will not abandon you, if only you have the will to persevere until the end. I know what you are capable of bearing, and accordingly you will be surrounded by My angels, who will protect you in this final battle. Just do not deceive yourselves in believing that I Am satisfied when you confess Me in your hearts, for you shall give evidence of your living faith in Me, which can only ever be produced by My Own whose faith has come alive through a life of love .... But any Christian who merely observes formalities, who lives without love despite the fact that he belongs to a church organisation, will be thrown into doubt about his former outlook and faith, and he will quickly give up his faith for the sake of earthly advantages.

And this will be the greatest temptation which people will ever have had to endure .... that all livelihood will be withheld from them if they remain faithful to Me .... whereas, on the other hand, everything will be granted to them and they will gain worldly advantages if they deny Me .... which will not be too difficult for most people since their faith had not yet come alive and therefore everything appears to be doubtful to them now. For My adversary knows how to confuse all spiritual correlations, and lack of love also means lack of realisation .... And without a second thought people will renounce what they so far possessed .... a dead Christendom, and more than ever turn towards the world which fully makes up for what they had surrendered .... And then the separation will have taken place, for then there will only be two camps .... utterly devoted people to Me, which also enjoy My evident protection, and a host of unbelievers adhering to My adversary who will soon experience the last Judgement, which will conclude the battle of faith .... For I will come Myself in order to fetch My Own and carry out the transformation of the earth's surface, which means the banishment of people who fail in the last battle on this earth ....

Amen

Explanation of ‘blessing’ ....

B.D. 8728 from January 17th 1964, taken from Book No. 92

Everything leads to the salvation of your soul as soon as you entrust yourselves to Me and My grace .... Then you will also clearly feel My grace since I will always walk by your side as your guide and you will be relieved from your own responsibility .... As long as you are not perfect, as long as you are still living on earth, you will be weak and need support in order to reach your goal, you will need the One Who walks by your side at all times, Who watches your every step and protects you from falling when the path is narrow and perilous .... Thus you should always commend yourselves to Him, you should ask Him to help and protect you. You should ask Him to bless you and all your thoughts, intentions and actions .... you should ask Him to be your aide, to Whom you can entrust yourselves in order to safely walk your earthly path ....

You should never forget this request for My blessing, you should not start your day without first having commended yourselves to Me and My care, but then you can be sure that every path is right and every deed you do is good. Then your life will also guarantee the maturing of your soul because you will completely entrust yourselves to Me, because you will have handed yourselves over to Me and no longer want to live your life without Me .... Thus My blessing is a very important factor which should not be disregarded, since a way of life blessed by Me can only lead to the right goal, to the final union with Me. And I will not withhold My blessing from anyone who asks for it, who consciously asks Me for My blessing. Because My blessing means the flow of My strength of love, it means the Father's guidance, Who wants to guide His child to the right goal .... And truly, you cannot ask for anything better than My blessing, no matter what you undertake .... I will grant you this request spiritually and earthly, I will guide your thoughts in the right direction spiritually and earthly, and spiritually and earthly you may experience My obvious help .... For then you will prove to Me that you desire Me and My love and that you love Me too or you would not desire My presence, which you are always guaranteed by My blessing ....

But you should know that a true blessing can only be given by Me, because a blessing is a ray of grace which Love wants to give to the object of its love, and this ray of grace can only originate from Me, thus only I Myself can bestow a blessing .... You humans can indeed pray and petition Me to send this ray of grace to another person, but you yourselves are unable to give a 'blessing', because you are not yet able to radiate strength since you have too little yourselves .... You can only pray on behalf of someone who is weak and powerless that I should send him strength .... You can appeal to Me to give him a 'blessing', i.e., to touch him with My ray of grace .... And thus a silent prayer will always suffice if you want to help a fellow human being, then you entrust his weaknesses and faults to Me at the same time, and you implore Me to send a flow of grace to this person, which I will surely do if love urges you to such a prayer and if the will of the weakened person does not openly resist Me. It always depends on your love which takes pity on those who are weak, vulnerable and sinful in your surroundings, and such a silent prayer will not fail to have the desired effect .... But large scale blessing events lose their significance as soon as they are turned into an externally visible formality by people who believe they are bestowing My blessing and yet only make gestures .... A heartfelt relationship and a sincere prayer for My blessing is out of the question in view of the many people who expect much benefit for their soul's salvation and yet feel neither an influx of divine strength of love nor an inner beatification since My presence cannot be expected to be where thoughts are merely earthly orientated, where only external customs are observed and a profound inner union with Me is impossible during such mass meetings.

A most profound inner union with Me ensures a person's right to bestow My flow of grace on his fellow human being, if the person sincerely asks Me for it. Yet this inner union is largely non-existent in those who carry out acts of blessing and thereby believe themselves to be of service to Me or to be helping their fellow human beings .... Render genuine intercession on behalf of your fellow human beings and support them with kind thoughts but do not believe that you can give them My emanation of grace yourselves by making a gesture of blessing .... Even the word 'blessing' has, to a greater extent, already become a concept of formality, yet it means nothing else than to kindly intercede on behalf of a fellow human being, and this has to arise from deep within the heart and should not become a visual gesture .... For you know that I have no pleasure in any external formality, that every outward action soon loses its deeper spiritual meaning, but that I Am very pleased with every heartfelt thought, and that an appeal to provide a fellow human being with strength always fills My heart with joy. But this can be the case everywhere and without being externally recognisable when loving people endeavour to ease spiritual and earthly adversity ....

However, all people need a supply of grace and every will to help is already a thought of blessing which I gladly fulfil, and I grant My protection and My grace to everyone who is entrusted to Me by the love of a fellow human being. Because no person can reach his goal without My help.

And you should request this help for yourselves, but also pray for those who have too little strength of their own to make direct contact with Me, who still need a lot of strength and grace before they are so closely attached to Me that I can permeate them with My eternal love's emanation of grace .... You need My blessing and should request it every day anew by asking Me to always take care of you, to permeate you with strength and to give you My grace .... And you should request the same from Me in loving intercession for your neighbour .... Then you are also asking Me for My 'blessing' on his behalf .... And you should say all such prayers in the privacy of your closet, no-one needs to see the external characteristics that you are contacting Me .... For everything that is outwardly recognisable can easily turn into a formality and increasingly lose its real meaning. Your prayer should be heartfelt and short .... so that it does not turn into a mechanical action which soon loses its value and distracts you from true effort which alone helps you to mature ....

Amen

The day of the end is decided for eternity ....

B.D. 8729 from January 18th 1964, taken from Book No. 92

Even if you inwardly resist the thought that everything around you shall perish, as it is constantly proclaimed to you, it will nevertheless come to pass with certainty, for My Word is truth and the end of this world in its present form has been decided for eternity .... My plan of Salvation will proceed, for once I make a decision it will not change, because profound wisdom has recognised what serves My intention from the start .... the return of all fallen spirits .... and therefore I will implement what has been decided. The fact that the precise date will never be given to you humans is explained by your freedom of will, which would be at risk were you to know the exact day and hour. But the human race will never remain without warning, I will always announce what is to come, so that they can prepare themselves and the end need not be an end to be scared of for people. And thus I reiterate over and over again that the length of time the souls were granted for this salvation or earth period has expired .... that the total transformation of the work of creation called Earth is also necessary because everything has become disorderly, because nothing which furthers the soul's development is utilised anymore and because the earth shall fulfil its purpose again: to help the souls attain maturity, which, however, makes a total transformation of its surface unavoidable. And even if you are still granted a reprieve, you should not believe that the end has been revoked .... The day will be upheld which has been preordained for eternity .... You should merely know that you have already reached the lowest point which entails an end, thus, according to the state of you souls the prerequisites for a disintegration of earth would exist already .... However, My decision is irrevocable, and thus you may regard your remaining time as a gift of grace, for you can still change, since it is never too late for that .... And therefore I call to you time and again: Believe that you are shortly facing the end. For even if a short time still passes by, it is nevertheless but a moment compared to the immense happening which will subsequently take place, which will conclude one period, the beginning of which you are incapable of ascertaining because the beginning and end of an earth period are so far apart that you cannot produce any clear evidence, nevertheless, you can be convinced that they are infinitely long periods of time.

Although the individual human being is apparently unimportant and tiny in the great events of the world, he is nevertheless a once originally created spirit whose return means a lot to Me and whom I would therefore like to save before this end, so that he will not have to spend infinitely long times in agony and wretchedness again, which he can avert from himself by merely paying attention to My admonitions and warnings which he will still receive during the last days. The remaining time of grace is only short, and every day should be regarded by you as a gift which can manage to achieve your inner change, it can mean turning back on the path you are walking .... providing you believe in an end of this earth and therefore also in an end of all living beings on earth, as it is constantly proclaimed to you. You don't believe because one day goes by like another and nothing unusual happens, and yet I give you so many wake-up calls .... you are constantly faced by different natural disasters, time and again different commotions bother you, which are intended to arouse you from the state of sleep you find so comfortable .... But you don't want to accept anything as a sign from above .... You continue with your thoughtless way of life, you smother every sense of responsibility .... You live on earth and yet do not acquire eternal life but approach death instead. Nevertheless, you have reached the end of an earth period, and if you don't believe this you will be taken by surprise and will find no way out, but prior to this you can still find it if you take the path to Me, if you hand yourselves over to your God and Creator and appeal for My shelter and protection from all difficulties of the impending time .... if only you acknowledge Me as your God Who wants to be your Father .... Then you truly no longer need fear the end, for then your return to Me will have been accomplished and I will be able to accept you in the spiritual kingdom where you can still continue to ascend if you leave this earth in a low degree of maturity. Nevertheless, you will have found Me and accomplished your return to Me in the last minute, you will have escaped My adversary and, while still on the old earth, have come to the correct realisation that you can only find salvation and beatitude in Me, and then you won't need to fear the end anymore either ....

Amen

Carrying out the divine love doctrine ....

B.D. 8730 from January 19th 1964, taken from Book No. 92

That you are exposed to the attacks of My adversary is not to surprise you because exactly in you he sees the greatest danger for himself because you are active on My behalf and help the souls to free themselves from his power .... And therefore he will try everything to hinder your work for Me and My kingdom .... He would also have great success in his intention if you yourselves were not so devoted to Me that you carry out your activity in My vineyard full of earnestness and eagerness .... Only the undivided devotion to Me protects you from his attacks, because he is powerless towards you as soon as he recognizes that you want to belong to Me completely and are always only prepared for Me. And so you will now also understand why I shut you off from the world, because I want to reduce the possibility of temptations through the world; I want to give him no possibilities of attack, which can easily arise through worldly desire .... I want to protect you Myself from him, who cannot harass you as long as you belong to Me through your earnest striving to always only be active for Me and to fulfil the assignment, which you yourselves have taken on in free will. Nevertheless temptations approach you again and again, because as long as you are still in contact with the outside world, you cannot completely escape their influence, but I will always provide you with power to resist, because the assignment is too powerful, which is still to be fulfilled, to bring rescue to erring fellowmen. And that is why you need not fear not to be able to finish a work, because My power and My love constantly surrounds you and directs everything to the best .... And that is why you are just to always be eagerly active and always just ask for My protection and blessing, and with this request you push the opponent away from you, because he will never be able to be there where I am Myself, but I comply with every spiritual request of you. Souls are still to be rescued; men are to be stimulated to think, who have no faith, because no truth was offered to them yet, and who only need to be instructed right, to also then direct their thoughts right and to turn towards a God and creator, who is now only credible to them .... And this can only happen through the spreading of truth. And that is why I also still want to create many opportunities for you; I want to bring you together with people who let themselves be taught by you in fundamental questions and who think about it .... I still want to do everything that your work is successful, and everywhere I want to spin threads, so that connections come into being, which you do not think possible, because everywhere people are still to be found, who are thoughtful, who also cannot be called unwilling to believe, who just are not satisfied with what they are generally taught .... who need other food, which is tasty for them and at which they can strengthen themselves .... And as soon as you yourselves just possess the strong will to serve Me and the truth, I will also bless your doing and thinking and guide you so that you are successfully active. Because where there is still a possibility of rescue, everything will be done to bring rescue, and where there is only one man who asks, he will also be given an answer. But the commandment of neighbourly love is to be presented to all first, because a completely loveless man can muster no understanding at all for truth .... But where love has not yet completely grown cold there will still be success. And that is why My gospel of love is to be spread throughout the world, and you can inspire all your fellow human beings to love even if you do not yet feel able to initiate them into deeper wisdom .... But if love is already present then it will also be easy for you to enlighten your fellow human being, and he will gratefully accept every spiritual instruction .... Then you will be loyal co-workers with Me, and you will wrestle My adversary's following away from him, for anyone who merely endeavours to live in love the adversary will have lost his power, for love is already union with Me, and thus love will always prevail over the adversary ...._>Amen

The true description of the act of Salvation ....

B.D. 8731 from January 20th 1964, taken from Book No. 92

I only ever want you to know that you can only return to Me on the path of truth, and therefore you also have to accept it from Me, because I Am Eternal Truth .... But then you will steadily follow the path which will be shown to you because you will clearly understand why you are living on earth and where your true home is. When you are taught the truth you will also learn about your origin and all previous events in the spiritual kingdom which will then make your earthly life explicable, you will recognise its meaning and goal and then try to achieve it. But if you are given erroneous information everything will be incomprehensible to you and give rise to all kinds of questions which will then be answered wrongly again .... And then your earthly life will be mostly lived in vain since My adversary will keep you in the dark and will always prevent you from searching for truth or from sincerely requesting it.

The essence of what you should know is and remains Jesus Christ's act of Salvation. If you are truthfully informed, your perfection, your return to Me, is guaranteed because then you will make use of the blessings which the human being Jesus acquired through His crucifixion. All weakness of will shall vanish, you will seriously strive for perfection and be relieved of the original sin's burden which had pushed you to the ground so much that you could not get up by yourselves. And I will always endeavour to convey to you the truth about the act of Salvation because you need to know of it if it is to be of benefit to you, if Christ is to have shed His blood for you too, which compensated for your great sin of guilt .... Because you consciously have to claim the blessings, you consciously have to accept Him as the divine Redeemer, surrender your guilt to Him and ask Him for forgiveness, because He and I are One. Once you rebelled against Me .... once you refused to acknowledge Me and now you have to acknowledge Me in Jesus as your God and Father and long for unification with Me again.

There is no other way to return to Me than the path to the cross, and only this pure truth will lead you there, only truth can give you the knowledge of how significant Jesus Christ's act of Salvation is for you and why you have to pay heed to it. And if, due to My adversary's influence, this truth is mixed with inaccurate spiritual knowledge, Jesus Christ's act of Salvation will also be described wrongly, it will be devalued precisely because it is understood wrongly, which is My adversary's objective. He will always strive to keep people in spiritual darkness, and thus he makes sure that the truth is infiltrated by error in order to prevent people from becoming enlightened, from recognising and walking the right path in this light.

It is his intention to render the act of Salvation entirely ineffective, to take all relevant knowledge from people, to portray Jesus as a rebellious human being in a secular sense who therefore had to suffer death on the cross .... It is his intention to argue every spiritual motive and thus destroy people's faith in a mission by Jesus so that they will not take the path to Him under His cross and instead deny Him as a Saviour of humanity sent by God. And thus humanity suffers an unimaginable disadvantage, for only He can help their great spiritual need ....

By excluding Jesus Christ and His act of Salvation people will live their earthly life in vain, they will stay in spiritual darkness and therefore also part of him who is My adversary and My enemy. But where he works I Am always active too, and where he corrupts truth I will constantly send it down to earth. And pure truth will always find its way to where it is desired. The adversary will not be able to prevent this since the desire for truth applies to Me and thus the human being has already passed his final test of will, he has chosen Me and will therefore also receive from Me .... And what I give will always be of utmost value and therefore also help the human being reach his goal.

But you humans should not forget that only the truth can have beneficial consequences because wrong spiritual knowledge can never result in salvation for the human being's soul. Hence you only ever have to desire the truth, you should not be satisfied with spiritual knowledge the end result of which is unknown to you, and therefore you always have to ask Me to enable you to recognise that which is lawful and true and to protect you from misguided spiritual knowledge. And truly .... I will always fulfil this request, after all, I want you to return to Me and therefore I will also show you the right path to walk .... And then you will also reach your goal safely ....

Amen

Love of God constantly promotes the return of beings ....

B.D. 8732 from January 21st 1964, taken from Book No. 92

I will always inform you that you are creations of a power, Whose exceedingly great love caused it to call you into being. You are products of this exceedingly great love, and what love once let come into being, it will also eternally no longer want to give up or lose, but it will do everything to chain the created ever more firmly to Itself, yet not in compulsion, but only through love .... A being which, like Me Myself, is love in its primal element cannot do otherwise than constantly emanate love, and this radiant power is of such effect that nothing created being-like can keep itself eternally distant from it, even though it once made the attempt and turned away from My ray of love when it refused to continue receiving My illumination of love. This process will forever be incomprehensible to you men, exactly because you as man are neither able to grasp infinite love nor the power, which once moved your creator to create the beings. And yet it took place because the created beings were like Me supremely perfect and therefore also in possession of free will, which enabled them to direct themselves towards every side because it wanted to test its strength and also demonstrate the resistance within itself. This indeed to its own disadvantage, for a resistance against Me is equal to deepest wretchedness, whereas I Myself am and will remain the epitome of supreme bliss and the approach to Me .... the awareness of My presence .... puts every being into a state of supreme bliss. But love always wants to cause happiness; love wants to give itself away and work together in intimate communion .... And since My fundamental nature is therefore love, My will to be happy will also never cease and will try with all its strength on those who keep themselves distant from Me in wrong thinking and wrong wanting .... My power will again and again seek to illuminate those who put themselves on the defensive towards Me because they are also products of My exceedingly great love and they need My illuminations to be happy. That their wrong will itself robs them of happiness does not prevent Me to nevertheless court their love and to do everything to cause them to return to Me and to show them a way back to Me, which certainly always first free will has to start, however exactly the possibility exists to once reach the aim, which consists in the union with Me. To you men, who have reached the last station on this way of return to Me, I again and again give knowledge of it, in what your actual purpose of earth life consists, so that you do not cover this earth life unsuccessfully. For as soon as you reach your aim you will enter a supernatural state of which you, as human beings, have no idea .... a state in which you were in the beginning, when you had gone out from Me as products of My love. An infinitely long period of time lies between this exit from Me and your present existence, and you are close to the end of a process which lets 'creatures' of My might become 'children' of My love .... You are about to be able to rule and work again in a completely spiritualized state in the spiritual kingdom which is the real kingdom of eternity and to leave all illusory life behind you when you only fulfil the purpose of earthly life: to shape yourselves back into love again, in order to be able to merge with Me, as the eternal love, again .... And on the other hand you are in the greatest danger to have walked your eternally long way of development upwards in vain if you now fail and reject My love again, which alone guarantees you an eternal life .... For you will not be forced to change your will, you will have to give it to Me of your own accord and open yourselves to My illumination of love again, and truly, you will exchange an unhappy life for eternal bliss, while on the other hand you cannot be spared the banishment in the creations of earth again, because you will have to reach the final aim one day, even if eternities will pass over it .... But to be away from Me means deepest unhappiness, but the union with Me consists of constant love radiance, constant bliss and happiness, constant freedom and power and brightest light until all eternity .... It is an exceedingly blissful fate, which awaits you, towards which you should strive in all earnestness in earth life, and I can only ever inform you of it, but I cannot and will not apply any compulsion, because as My creatures you possess a free will, which I will not touch for ever .... which therefore determines your fate itself and which you are to freely submit to Mine, to then also be able to be happy unlimitedly until all eternity ...._>Amen

God Himself is the source of the revelations ....

B.D. 8733 from January 23rd 1964, taken from Book No. 92

Time and again you receive the assurance from Me that you will be able to come into possession of the pure truth providing it is your sincere will .... For you may rest assured that it is indeed possible for Me to convey the truth to earth, because I have the power to do so .... You may also believe that I Am motivated by My greater than great love to bestow upon you the pure truth because you can only attain eternal life by way of truth. And although I determine what conditions have to be fulfilled in order to receive the truth I will surely also know Myself which human being can and wants to fulfil these conditions .... And thus I will also choose the right vessel for Myself through which I can transmit the pure truth to earth. Therefore you need not doubt every communication from the spiritual kingdom and presume that it is interspersed with error, and you will also be able to examine each one with My help, that is, by invoking Me Myself to enlighten your spirit if you want to make this examination.

But what would happen to you humans if there was no possibility for the pure unadulterated truth to get to earth? .... As long as you acknowledge a God Who is truth Himself you can also ask for and expect to receive the truth from this God, because He is a God of love, wisdom and might .... Who wants to win you back and also knows all ways and means to reach his goal, and Who also has the power to accomplish what love and wisdom decide. But you humans have to believe in Me, your God and Creator Who, as Father, wants to give you everything you need in order to mature and become blissfully happy.

And the most important thing is the truth, which every human being can and will receive if he seriously desires it .... But if you doubt that pure truth can be given to you .... if you always fear the influence of opposing forces, then you truly also deny My love, wisdom and might and give supreme control to My adversary .... which he indeed has over people who do not genuinely strive for Me, who thus still grant him power over themselves .... And it has to be clear to you as to whether your desire for the pure truth is genuine and heartfelt .... you also have to know that your intellect alone is unable to scrutinize it .... You have let your heart speak, and this will clearly tell you what you may accept as truth .... for your intellect can still be full of wrong ideas which you don't want to give up .... In that case, however, you cannot speak of a sincere desire for truth either .... You have to completely free yourselves from your previously socially acquired knowledge and only desire the pure truth from Me .... And then you will truly get everything back that corresponds to the truth .... You will become particularly distinctly aware of all correlations, and only then will you blissfully feel that you are in possession of the truth .... Much spiritual information is spread as truth which cannot lay claim to such, and therefore everything has to be examined. Your intellect alone, however, is unable to do so, yet as soon as you are in intimate contact with Me and desire the truth I will be able to enlighten your intellect, and then you will also think in accordance with the truth and be able to make a correct judgment. But what would it look like on earth if the transmission of pure truth from above were not possible? .... In that case I could not demand responsibility from anyone of you, then the adversary would be in full control over you, and you would never have the opportunity to find Me, to love and to unite with Me, for all this would be prevented by the prince of darkness. My light, however, also penetrates the darkness, My light shines from above down to earth, and truly, every person may enter into this illumination ....

But light will only ever be spread by the truth, and therefore you can always be certain that I .... being Eternal Light Myself .... will also emanate it in the form of My Word, which is purest truth and will be conveyed to those who thus sincerely desire the truth .... This is the condition I make, for whoever desires the truth desires Me Myself, he allows Me to be present in himself, since then he is also full of love for Me because his will applies to Me. He tries to escape from the adversary, the prince of darkness, and with it also from all error which he recognises as the adversary's doing .... I truly will not withhold the truth from anyone, for the human being should return to the light again, to brightest realisation and thus enter his original state in which he was immensely happy in the beginning ....Amen

Emergence of the Antichrist ....

B.D. 8734 from January 24th 1964, taken from Book No. 92

Not much time will pass before My adversary assumes his last dominion on this earth. But prior to this I will still speak with a voice of thunder, so that a few may still find their way to Me in utmost adversity, who then will remain faithful to Me because My obvious help enabled them to recognise Me and who therefore will not let go of their faith in Me again. Yet there will only be a few and therefore My adversary will wield great power, for the extensive natural disaster will cause people such severe hardship that they will join anyone who promises his help to end their misery. And one person will do so, he will win everyone over for himself who has not handed himself over to Me, for My Own will keep away from him, being mindful of My admonitions and warnings that the great battle of faith is about to happen, which will be incited by My adversary. Worldly people, however, will cheer him, for he will know how to dazzle them, and he will accomplish things which will make them inclined to believe in a supernatural power .... And precisely the fact that all unbelievers accept him as ruler and saviour from their earthly hardship proves that My adversary himself is involved, that he, as My adversary, avails himself of an earthly shell in order to be able to have a free hand. And you, who belong to My Own, will ask yourselves why I put up with this dominion of his and won't bring him down .... It is his last great campaign on this earth which will also bring about the ultimate end, he will instigate the flare up of the last battle in which you will have to prove yourselves, because it is the last decision before I come Myself to save My Own.

The earlier natural disaster had evoked a greater will to live in people, and anyone who had survived will try to acquire worldly goods again by any means, to attain earthly prosperity, and this striving will be supported by My adversary, who thus will find a huge number of followers. And he indeed knows how to deceive people about his true nature, they will see in him someone endowed with extraordinary strength, whom they unreservedly trust and give the right to issue instructions which they blindly obey .... And he will have so many supporters that the small flock of devout people, who recognise him and his true colours, will be unable to defend themselves from his attacks, but precisely because of this they will recognise him, that he wants to eradicate people's faith in Jesus Christ, that he wants to occupy the highest throne himself and have people worship him .... And so they will, because he will achieve true works of wonder with his remaining power. And you will know him when he appears, but first the world will be plunged into fear by the magnitude of a natural disaster .... through which I will reveal Myself to people ....

And directly afterwards he will appear and promise help and improvement from this enormous chaos. He will find many followers because people are ready for their downfall or they would recognise him and appeal to Me for protection from him and his machinations .... Not much time will pass before he appears, who at first will emerge under the cover of piety and yet very soon divulge his true nature. People, however, will be easily deluded and he will have a simple game with them .... They effortlessly relinquish their faith in a God because they were hard hit by the natural event and are willing to place My greatest enemy and opponent onto the highest throne, who embodies himself and his characteristics in a human being in order to set the final course of action on this earth in motion: to wage open battle against Me and My Own, against all faith and all justice .... For only his supporters will be provided by him with the means to live, whilst My Own will be threatened with death .... yet he shall find His Lord in Me as soon as his time is up, and for the sake of My Own I will shorten this time .... I Myself will come to save them from greatest adversity and his dominion will end; he, together with his followers, will be bound again for a long time .... And a new era of peace and harmony will start again .... where love shall reign and My adversary's activity will be prevented .... as it is proclaimed in Word and Scripture ....

Amen

Value of transmissions from the spiritual realm ....

B.D. 8735 from January 25th 1964, taken from Book No. 92

As long as the transmissions from the spiritual kingdom reach you in another way than through the 'working of My spirit in the human being' .... you must accept them with caution. The desire for knowledge, the desire to enrich intellectual thinking with knowledge about supernatural things, also lets people establish connections with the spiritual kingdom which do not always result in good success, since there is no guarantee for the truth of what spiritual forces communicate from this kingdom. And men easily put themselves into danger to accept everything as truth because it comes out of the spiritual kingdom. But they do not consider that the degree of knowledge of those spiritual beings is not much different than on earth, that also there the souls resist the acceptance of true spiritual material, as they did on earth, as long as they did not ignite the light of love in themselves. And you men on earth cannot recognize the degree of love of the beings in the beyond .... Hence you carelessly place yourselves into the hands of ignorant beings who seek to transfer the error to you which they advocated on earth and also hold on to in the kingdom of the beyond. That is why the transmissions from the spiritual kingdom are rarely to be believed, for the beings of light can only then express themselves to a human being when they themselves have kindled a light in themselves through a life of love, when they now desire purest truth and turn to Me for Me to supply them with the truth .... Then therefore "my spirit can work in you". The direct ray of light, proceeding from Me, can touch the heart of him who approaches Me for pure truth .... But then the act of transferring truthful knowledge is not a public process .... that people come together and together try to establish contact with an alleged 'teacher' in the beyond, who then answers their questions, but they can never control to what extent the 'teacher' himself stands in truth .... When My spirit is active in a person then the light radiates down to earth from the source of light, it radiates into the heart of the one who himself establishes intimate contact with the original source of light .... with Me .... through heartfelt prayer, questioning thoughts and working with love .... And this direct power-transmission process can also take place through light beings, who therefore pick up My love-light and pass it on for their own happiness, but who have completely entered into My will and therefore do not want and act differently than it is My will, and who are as it were redirectors of the power and light, which flowed out from Me (of the power and light current out of Me) ..... Then purest truth is guaranteed, and then man does not need to fear to fall a victim to erroneous teachings, because his intimate union with Me now also secures him the influx out of the original source, and the original state is now established, in which the being could have contact with Me through the word, where I also constantly revealed Myself to My creatures through the word .... A direct word transmission is not to be confused with spiritual reports or instructions, which certainly also come out of the kingdom on the other side, but go out from beings, which themselves are still without light, but which can think and want and therefore also are active there, where men cause those beings to divest themselves out of ignorance. Always bear in mind that all people arrive on the other side in the degree of light in which they leave earth. Bear in mind that even on earth erroneous teachings are advocated with tenacity by people whose intellect is highly developed and who represent their body of thought as truth .... These will not depart from it and in the same way again seek to impress the other souls with their knowledge; they will also have an effect on men of earth from the beyond, where these themselves open themselves and give the opportunity to the souls in the beyond to express themselves. Do not believe that they will suddenly come to knowledge .... unless their degree of love would be unusually high that knowledge is given to them in a flash. But man hands himself over to all those powers through his will to experience things hidden to him, without approaching Me Myself for the transmission of that knowledge. And especially men with sharp intellect go the way to Me only last .... they believe to be able to fathom and examine everything with their intellect by weighing the different spiritual results against each other and now judge according to their discretion, but this can never be right when I Myself am not approached for enlightenment of the spirit. But the spirit imparts purest truth .... For then the father spirit unites with the divine spark in man, which is My share from eternity, and then My flow of love power goes to man, who has offered himself to Me as vessel and prepared himself .... And then only purest truth can be the result. Then everything can be accepted without hesitation, because I Myself am the giver, because I, as the eternal truth, can also only emanate truth, which will always make him happy and lead him to life who accepts it .... Only few go this one way, but many men seek and research and believe to be able to fathom deepest knowledge with their intellect. But if they are introduced through My spirit into the knowledge about all correlations and accept this knowledge, then the light itself starts to shine in them, and then they recognize the uselessness of intellectual research and the blessing of the spirit work in man, and it will no longer be possible for them to doubt the latter, because the knowledge withstands all tests, which once has flowed to men through My spirit .... For truth always and forever remains the same and cannot change, and it will also be accessible to every person who only seriously desires it ...._>Amen

Change of I-love .... transformational work ....

B.D. 8736 from January 26th 1964, taken from Book No. 92

That I pour out an unusual measure of favours over mankind in the time of the end is justified in the unusually great spiritual trouble and in the short time span, which still remains for you until the end. But My love towards My creatures, towards all spiritual being on the return, is exceedingly great, and it seeks to rescue from ruin what only can be rescued. And still I cannot have a compelling effect on men, and I therefore need loyal servants on earth, who are active on My behalf, who follow My inner instructions and seek to guide truth everywhere there .... which they receive from Me themselves .... where there is only still a heart willing to accept. This word guided from above to earth is the greatest treasure of favour, which I send to men, because who only accepts this and takes it to heart, his soul is rescued for time and eternity .... I once sent My disciples out into the world with the words: "Go and teach all nations ...." People devoted to Me always had to convey the gospel of love to their fellow human beings, for all people were to know My will, which precisely consisted of the fulfilment of My commandments of love. For that is the most important thing in a person's earthly life that he changes himself into love again .... that he thereby opens himself to My flow of love, which can now incessantly radiate into his heart .... He must seek to change the I-love still clinging to him into unselfish neighbourly love, and thereby he also proves love for Me .... And since I Myself am eternal love, he will also enter into union with Me through love work, and that also means that he perfects himself still on earth and returns again as My child into his father house. All of you can accomplish this work of reshaping of your soul because My measure of favour is so great; power is given to you in every way that you can also bring My will to execution. My word from above sounds to you again and again, and you will also constantly be able to draw the power from this word, which you need for your earth life walk according to My will .... But only few men know about it that I obviously work on those who devote themselves to Me and want to serve Me .... Only few people know that the father constantly speaks to His children and that they only have to fulfil the conditions in order to also hear My address themselves: that they have to live a life of love, believe in Me alive and then listen within themselves .... Then they can truly also experience My obvious grace in themselves, they can hear My voice directly or conveyed through My messengers, for they need only earnestly request that I speak to them, and I will always grant such a request, because it is a spiritual request if they want to make contact with their father of eternity, which the latter has long desired .... And even if the end is near, it is still possible for every person to fulfil his purpose of earthly life .... Every person can still go to court with himself, he can talk to Me in thought and ask questions, and I will give him an answer, no matter in which form this takes place .... For I love you, My creatures, and await your return to Me, Whom you once voluntarily left .... And I will also truly smooth all paths for you so that you can cover the way back effortlessly if only you are of serious will to reach your last aim on this earth. But you always have to use My favours, which flow abundantly to all of you, but have to be utilized by you to be able to become effective. But My love never stops, and once you will voluntarily hand yourselves over to My love. One day you will desire it and let it shine on you again as it once did .... one day you will return home to your father's house and be unspeakably happy ...._>Amen

The bond with God .... Adversity and suffering ....

B.D. 8737 from January 27th 1964, taken from Book No. 92

And if you succeed in closely uniting with Me in thought by longing for Me with a loving heart, then I will be present to you too, because your love for Me attracts Me tremendously, and I will never deny Myself to love. My presence, however, always assures you an influx of strength, albeit it is only felt by the soul, but it will steadily mature and become ever more perfect because then I will no longer exclude it. Then you will have demonstrated your free will to belong to Me again, then you will have passed your test of will which is the reason why you live on earth as a human being.

Yet only few people occupy themselves with Me in thought, and if they do then only at certain times, and a process which should be deeply internal in order to result in spiritual success always just becomes an external formality. Only few people think frequently during the day of the One Who is their God and Creator and Who wants to be acknowledged and called upon by them as Father .... The world and its demands leaves people almost no more time for inner reflection, their thoughts are taken up by earthly affairs and worries which are utterly pointless and without value, and they completely exclude any spiritual considerations. Therefore they are never able to notice the divine blessing which rests on their daily activities .... Only when they are troubled by worries do they occasionally think of the One Who is powerful and able to help, and then it is already a considerable achievement if they turn to the One with a silent appeal, for then they have to establish contact with Me as soon as they send a prayer in spirit and in truth to Me up above. But mere lip-prayers will not reach My ear, for they lack the heartfelt contact which ensures that their plea will be granted. And yet, adversity and suffering are the only means to turn people's thoughts to Me, adversity and suffering can cause hours of inner bonding with Me, and then they will always attain benefit for their soul since no connection will remain without an influx of strength, and this influx of strength will always have a spiritual effect.

Blessed are the people who often raise their thoughts to Me, who don't have to be prompted to do so by adversity and suffering first but whose love impels them to unite with Me, who only find true comfort and true happiness of heart in a close relationship with Me .... blessed are those who have already detached themselves from the world to a degree that they find time for spiritual thoughts, that they communicate with Me because they feel the urge to enter into contact with Me .... For these will be constantly pulled by Me Myself and their souls' maturity will be assured. The separation between the beings and Myself, which they once undertook voluntarily, will then be annulled by a voluntary bond with Me which is evidenced by every heartfelt thought, every prayer and every deed of love .... for now, in the human stage, the being has changed itself back to its original state again, which also signifies an innermost bond with Me .... And I will try everything in order to awaken the desire for a bond with Me in people, I will step into every person's path Myself, or I will answer the call for help of those who are suffering in order to give evidence of Myself and My love .... I come to meet every person Myself with My love but I cannot force him to accept it .... They have to accomplish the return to Me completely of their own free will and entirely voluntarily appeal to Me for strength and love (light) and My presence .... But then I will never ever leave them again. Then their earthly path will truly not be in vain, for My strength will constantly flow to them so that the soul will attain a degree of maturity which will guarantee it a blissful life in the spiritual kingdom. And it is truly easy to gain the certainty of a blissful fate after death, for a heartfelt bond with Me is the right relationship I want My child to establish with Me, and a Father will always want to make His child happy .... He will constantly give to the child what it needs, and thus He will also convey to the soul what it needs to mature: light and strength and grace .... Only the contact has to be established first which will ensure that My emanation of light and grace can flow across. Then the human being will safely reach his goal on earth .... he will acquire for himself eternal life in absolute bliss ....

Amen

What kind of prayer will be granted? ....

B.D. 8738 from January 28th 1964, taken from Book No. 92

I Am available to you whenever you call for Me .... Every heartfelt, pleading thought gets through to Me, every sound the heart utters is heard by Me and I will always turn towards you, for the child's voice penetrates and will always reach the Father's ear. And then I will be ready at all times to help if you need it, or I will provide you with spiritual strength if you ask for it .... I draw close to you and listen to your plea, because I rejoice in pleasing My living creations, in providing My children with what they need and request from Me. No call to Me in spirit and in truth will ever go unheeded and remain unanswered, every heartfelt prayer to Me will benefit you, and your souls will mature. Your call to Me should not just be a mere empty prayer .... And precisely this requirement is often lacking, for people were taught a kind of prayer that will never be able to penetrate My ear .... They often pray together reciting words they were taught and which never express the feelings of their hearts but which are and remain empty words that had better remained unspoken.

A heartfelt prayer has to rise up to Me from the heart and must be the result of an intimate union with Me, so that the child will then speak with Me as with its Father .... And even if it only stammers without using well-formulated words I will nevertheless understand this stammering and value it as a child's loving call to the Father, and I will listen and respond to it .... A prayer to Me is a bridge you can cross any time, yet this path is rarely taken .... because 'prayer' has become a mere formality, a recital of words whose meaning are not considered and which usually also obstruct deep devotion .... heartfelt thoughts .... of Me. Thereby the human being deprives himself of a great blessing, because he does not utilise the strength of prayer .... since no strength can flow to him if he does not make intimate contact with Me which, however, does not need many words, it just needs an utterly receptive heart for Me ....

In prayer the door of you heart should be wide open so that I can enter it Myself and permeate you with light and grace. Hence you have to be with Me in thought with all your love, your heart has to be completely devoid of all other thoughts, and then you should enter into a silent dialogue with Me and entrust all your cares and wishes to Me or .... if you don't come to Me with worries .... you should assure Me of your love, and for this you truly need no prayer events, no organised campaigns, no mass prayers .... unless a special request causes several people to ask for My help together, but even then it should take place silently and inwardly, for every external expression disturbs the inner contact, and the person will be unable to turn inwards such as to completely feel My presence ....Time and again I have to draw your attention to the fact that your customary prayers will not achieve much with Me, because I only take notice of the feelings in your heart and not the words voiced by your mouth, regardless how many people participate in such prayer .... This will always be abhorrent to Me, because it merely demonstrates your lack of sincerity to speak with your eternal Father, and because you even expect help from such prayers which, however, you will never receive, and thus you will start to doubt the love and might of a God again when you don't feel any help. You can achieve so much with a silent and sincere prayer arising from your heart, because I will never fail to hear it but rather take pleasure in it and will always be ready to respond and prove to you that the Father's love and might wants to make you happy. You cannot show your intimate dedication to Me better than by your heart's silent dialogue with Me, for you are unable to do this thoughtlessly .... as a mere formality. And then every word you say to Me will sound child-like and trusting, you will, in truth, establish a child's relationship with its father, and the child will achieve everything, because the father's love does not deny itself and constantly wants to please the child. But as long as people believe that their formal prayers will persuade Me to help them they will have little success and therefore, time and again, also doubt a God Who, in His love, is always ready and, by virtue of His power, able to help .... This faith, however, is a prerequisite for Me in pouring out the abundance of My grace over all people, and this faith also requires a living union with Me which will only ever be entered into by love, and therefore a loving person will achieve everything with Me ....

Amen

'In the beginning was the Word ....'

B.D. 8739 from January 29th 1964, taken from Book No. 92

Time and again I want to emphasise the fact that I Am the Word of eternity .... I Am the Word .... Yet in the beginning the Word was with God .... How can you understand this? I Myself Am the be-all and end-all, everything that exists is emanated strength to which I gave life .... I created similarly-natured beings for Myself whose fundamental substance was the same as I Myself: divine strength of love .... And I was in contact with these beings from the very beginning through 'the Word' .... Thus the Word was 'in the beginning' .... when the beings were brought into life by Me .... Prior to this nothing existed which was able to hear My Word, although I always and forever carried the Word within Myself, for I Am a self-aware, thinking Being Which put Its will into practise and thus was able to create whatever came to Its mind as an idea or thought .... Although the beings which emerged from My strength were externalised by Me as independent I nevertheless remained in constant contact with them through 'My Word' .... I spoke to them, they understood Me and therefore they were immeasurably happy .... I Myself was the Word, for although they were unable to behold Me My Word nevertheless proved to them My existence, they knew that they came forth from the Being Which had created them and Which loved them tremendously. This Word of Mine was the real life in them; it was the incessant flow of strength which granted them supreme realisation, since through My Word everything became understandable to them, they grasped all correlations, they knew that they had emerged from the elementary Power and were in constant contact with this elementary Power, for It communicated with them in infinite love through the Word and they heard It .... I was the Word Itself, but It only manifested Itself when I brought these beings into life .... And thus there was a beginning for these beings, whereas I Myself Am forever .... However, there will be no end for My created beings .... They will continue to exist for all eternity, and their greatest beatitude will always consist of experiencing Me Myself through My Word, of being addressed by Me and be able to enter into a blissful dialogue. Yet a large proportion of the created beings forfeited the grace and beatitude of hearing My Word, they declined the flow of My strength of love and became incapable of hearing Me by distancing themselves from Me and preventing all communication through the Word, they closed themselves and became lifeless beings since they had no more contact with Me whatsoever .... They also deprived themselves of all happiness which only My formulated illumination of love .... My Word .... gave to them.

The heartfelt bond with Me also irrevocably resulted in the sounding of My Word, the withdrawal from Me, however, must also always be the same as the silence of My expression of love, of My Word .... Nevertheless, the entity will never cease to exist, but it will only be happy if it is able to hear My Word, in other words: I Myself Am the Word, and only My presence endows the being with beatitude, and My presence will always demonstrate itself if the being can hear Me .... And what I say to the being will make it incredibly happy, for it bestows on it brightest illumination, the realisation of its origin and the understanding of My nature, My reign and activity throughout the whole of infinity .... Such knowledge gives pleasure to the being, especially if it had previously been in an ignorant state for a long time, if it was separated from Me for a prolonged time and had abandoned every connection with Me as an isolated being and was therefore also wretched. As soon as it can hear My Word again, as it was from the start, it will also be able to be called blessed again, for to hear My Word is also the evidence of My presence, and My presence demonstrates that the being is approaching its original state again, as it was in the beginning .... that it has become the divine living creation again which emerged from Me in all perfection, which was called into life by My greater than great love in order to make it forever happy. The intimate bond with Me is only verified through the hearing of My Word, for wherever the Word can be heard that is where I Myself Am, Who is the 'Word' of eternity .... And I want to transfer all My thinking, intentions and activity onto My living creations, and this only ever takes place through the Word, through contact between the being and Me, which makes the sounding of My Word possible. And this Word is, again, a thought from Me expressed in a form .... I want My living creations to partake in all My thinking, intentions and activity, therefore My Word flows to them, and the beatitude of the beings rests in the fact that they may completely subordinate themselves to My will, that they have the same thoughts and will within themselves and that they are nevertheless totally free and independent beings, which are not subject to My compulsion and yet do not think and want differently, because they have reached a degree of perfection again which was theirs in the very beginning .... Only the most heartfelt bond with Me will also enable them to hear My Word, yet this will also guarantee the being beatitude and eternal life ....

Amen

Explanation regarding free will ....

B.D. 8740 from January 30th 1964, taken from Book No. 92

I truly want to help you attain beatitude while you are still living on earth as human beings. And I make use of all methods which can still lead you to perfection .... But I do not infringe upon your free will, for this is the characteristic of a divine living being which once arose from My love .... Without free will you would certainly be works which My creative will brought into being but they would be lifeless within themselves since they would only purely mechanically comply with My will .... However, I did not create such imperfect beings but children of My love which are still My 'living creations' until they become My 'children' of their own free will, so that they completely subordinate their free will to Mine, even though they can also turn it in the opposite direction .... You, who live on earth as human beings, had turned your free will in the wrong direction in the past, it turned away from Me, and that resulted in your apostasy .... But since nothing that originated from Me can be lost forever, it will also return to Me again one day without fail, and I Myself devised this path of return to Me for you. When you hardened in your substance I shaped this substance into all kinds of works of creation .... and bound your will during this time, that is, you took the slow path out of the abyss upwards in the law of compulsion until you had reached a degree of maturity once again in which free will could be returned to you and that you now, in the stage of a human being, should turn it in the right direction, that is, towards Me. In that case you will subordinate your will to Mine without compulsion and attain perfection again, but then you will no longer be My 'living creations' but will have become My 'children' who, in eternal bliss, will be able to work and shape with Me and in My will, which will also have become yours .... But I have known for eternity which decision will be taken by a person's free will and what will, accordingly, be his destiny on earth .... it will always be such that he can make the right decision, although the person is not subject to any compulsion. No-one will be able to determine a person's inner inclination and thinking and neither will I ever determine or push him in a specific direction .... but the person will always prepare his own fate, that is, he can infinitely prolong his path of return but also shorten it considerably .... nevertheless .... one day he will return to Me for certain.

As long as his free will does not apply to Me, the human being still belongs to My adversary who had caused his downfall .... Yet neither I Myself nor he can exert a forceful influence on a person's will, otherwise he would never ever be able to attain beatitude, for free will was cause of the apostasy and in free will he must also return to Me again.

The fact that I have known the direction of your will as a human being for eternity does not entitle you to assume that I Myself determine the state of beatitude, that I Myself .... i.e. My will .... choose which people will become blessed and which will be condemned .... This point of view entirely contradicts My Nature, which is love, wisdom and might in itself .... My love for My living creations is so infinitely deep that it constantly tries to attract their love, that it does everything in order to achieve your bliss, your ascent to Me in the shortest possible time .... My wisdom also knows all means and everything is possible for Me with only one exception: I cannot enslave My living creations' will, because this contravenes My law of eternal order .... because I Myself cannot make something imperfect which was created in perfection, but the being itself can, at any time, turn into an opposite being to Me .... precisely because it has free will and because free will is and will also remain the attribute of a divine being. For even if you infinitely distanced yourselves from Me, by virtue of your free will you would always be able to return to Me, and only then will you have reached a degree of perfection which I Myself, however, was unable to create .... I was certainly able to let supremely perfect beings emerge from Me but the beings had to remain perfect of their own free will, even though they were able to change themselves into the opposite. Thus, the being must strive for and achieve this high degree of perfection itself in order to become a true 'child of God', which will then also be able to accept its Father's inheritance .... because it will have become as perfect as its Father in heaven is perfect ....

Amen

Spreading the truth ....

B.D. 8741 from February 1st 1964, taken from Book No. 92

My will is the spreading of truth. Therefore do not be afraid to carry it out into the world because only truth is the only salvation for men who want to let themselves be saved, who have not yet become a slave to My opponent and therefore remain in the lie and in error. And when I give you the assignment to spread the truth, then I will also truly see to it that you yourselves come into possession of the truth .... I will convey it to you Myself so that you can stand up for spiritual knowledge with complete certainty, which no external person can convey to you in such purity unless he has received it from Me directly and passes it on without any change. And believe it, you humans, that you do not live in truth as long as you receive spiritual knowledge which did not originate from Me. But the people who impart this spiritual material to you claim to possess the truth, and that is why it is difficult to convince them of the opposite and to make them inwardly free of it. But look at the conduct of mankind, see the spiritual low and see the misery, which oppresses men everywhere, and such a confused and sinful state could never be among mankind, if it walked in truth .... But the adversary has spread deepest darkness, and in this darkness mankind goes along and can never reach the aim, which it is to reach in earth life. But men also do nothing to come out of this darkness; they desire no light, otherwise it would shine for them, because I comply with every such desire .... And there are only a few who, desiring the pure truth, have approached Me Myself for it and whom I now also entrust with the task of carrying out the truth .... whose origin I Myself am as the eternal truth .... and to bring it to all those who do not feel well in darkness and desire a light. Listen to them, if they also want to bring you this delicious gift from Me .... listen and examine, for I do not demand that you accept something untested, but ask Me Myself first that I may enlighten your spirit .... For believe Me, with your intellect alone you are unable to carry out an examination, no matter how sharply it is developed .... But what I Myself convey to you should not go unheeded, for no-one can offer you anything more valuable than My word, which is directly conveyed to earth by Me through the working of the spirit .... And this word of Mine will give you truthful information about everything, and you will also soon be able to differentiate with good will and be able to separate truth from error. Therefore I only demand your good will, which must be fully consciously turned towards Me Myself, as your God and creator,... which then will also earnestly strive for truth and can now also receive it. For the first condition to attain truth is that you also earnestly desire it .... But you will not be able to deny that the prince of darkness currently leads the reign, and I justify this to you with the fact that you humans yourselves grant him the right, for you unquestioningly accept everything that is presented to you as truth and thereby darken your spirit yourselves, and you follow those who demand that you unconditionally believe the teaching material offered to you .... and don't realize that this in itself is a ruse by satan to forbid you humans to take a stand on the spiritual knowledge .... and thereby place yourselves entirely into his hands, for now error and lies will be even more favoured, and you yourselves will be the victims, you will be kept spiritually blind where I would like to constantly supply you with light but require your free will to also accept the light for this purpose. In what spiritual blindness you yourselves go there. And in what spiritual darkness you also keep those who trust you and accept spiritual good from you .... But as long as you yourselves do not possess truth, you are no good teachers of your fellowmen, but at any time pure truth is at your disposal, because I Myself am truth, I Myself am the light from eternity .... You are all My creations, having emerged from My infinite love, and this love constantly wants to make you happy .... Therefore it will also always want to put you into a state of light .... But you yourselves have to request and receive this light from Me of your own free will .... And truly, then your earthly way will not be in vain; you will lead a way of life according to My will, because in the light also the way is recorded for you, which leads back to Me, your God and father from eternity ...._>Amen

Strong pillar of the church founded by God ....

B.D. 8742 from February 2nd 1964, taken from Book No. 92

I will give you the strength to stand up for Me and My kingdom with conviction when you are called to account and have to justify yourselves to people who attack you .... Then you need not think about what you should say, for I will put the words into your mouth and they will be of convincing strength. And even though people will attack you they will nevertheless also be forced to think about what you say, and again it only depends on the will whether they allow themselves to be inwardly convinced or reject the thoughts, for which responsibility will also be demanded of them one day .... Who takes up the fight against the enemy, by whose side I will fight Myself and always prevent that he takes damage bodily and spiritually, because My hand truly reaches far, and it can push everything away from you .... But that the fight will flare up against all believers, against Mine, who loyally hold to Me, is certain, because it will bring the last separation .... because it is still the last opportunity for the weak in faith, who can fetch power and strength at your faith and still can change over into the camp of Mine. Because obviously My work will be recognizable in you .... I will guide you through all adversities, I will shield you from the adversary and his vassals, for until the end you must still be strong pillars of faith for Me, pillars of My church, which I Myself founded on earth .... until the end you must bear witness to a living faith and an intimate bond with Me, which will also have an external effect, so that no earthly adversity will touch My own, for I Myself will sustain them, and often in a supernatural way; for truly everything is possible for Me .... Who let the whole of creation come into being, He will also be able to preserve His own when their fellow human beings will deprive them of everything and they cannot resist human force .... Then My power and strength and My love will become obvious, which turns everything to you what you need. For it will only take a short time until I Myself put an end to My adversary's shameful goings-on, until I give all those their deserved reward who work for My adversary and do not shy away from any shameful act. And you will also have to openly make a confession for Me and My name, and then you are not allowed to become weak or be afraid, because I give you the power to resist, so that you confess Me with joy before the world, because you are completely filled with My spirit and now speak with fullest conviction on My behalf. Before this time does not approach you, the end is also not yet there, but the faith struggle will conclude with that end .... Because I Myself will come to rescue Mine out of great trouble because no measures are too shameful for My opponent to dethrone Me Myself out of the hearts of men. And that is why I Myself put a stop to him .... I will come in the clouds and fetch My own into a kingdom of peace and bliss .... I will not prevent men from all kinds of experiments whereby they endanger the existence of earth .... I Myself will let them feel the consequence .... either still call them off shortly before the end .... which is still to be regarded as a special favour I bestow on those who have not yet completely fallen prey to My adversary .... or as members of My adversary put them in fetters with him so that they are banished anew in the creations of earth and therefore can no longer cause any harm among the inhabitants of the new earth and these will therefore live a life in peace and bliss as reward for their loyalty which they have kept to Me until the end of this earth .... You will not yet be able to imagine the disaster by which the earth will be affected by the last faith struggle, but it will irrevocably take place, it is after all the last most shameful work of My adversary, which he still wants to carry out in the belief to dethrone Me completely and to be able to assert himself .... And this plan also seals his fate, after all his open fight against Me is expressed by it, out of which I will emerge as victor, by Me taking all power from him for a long time and through this also men on the new earth are safe from his work and a return to Me is possible to a great extent, because men have already taken their passed test of will on this earth and also the still following generations will live in love and in living faith in Me, so that I Myself can dwell among them for all their happiness. And with this prospect of the peaceful and joyful life on the new earth you are also to approach the time of the faith struggle armed; you are to know that the power will be at your disposal, which you need for resistance and passing of the faith struggle, and you are to always just be prepared to serve Me, to help fellowmen to a strong faith and to supply truth to all, which they willingly accept from you .... You are to serve Me until the end, so that anyone who allows himself to be saved and returns to Me before the end comes will still be saved ...._>Amen

Explanation about the coming of the Lord ....

B.D. 8743 from February 3rd 1964, taken from Book No. 92

I want to give you an important spiritual explanation which is intended to benefit your soul: I want to open up an area for you which you would never be able to enter without the working of My spirit, for I want to introduce you to a world which is only comprehensible to the spiritually awakened person, since it already requires a certain amount of knowledge of things which otherwise are completely unfamiliar to the human being. I have promised you that I will return to earth when the day of the end has come .... This promise, however, has given rise to the most diverse notions in you humans, yet the true explanation has evaded you, precisely because the process of My second coming has been presented in so many different ways and .... just as the process of My Own's rapture .... at different times, thus resulting in wrong claims which I want to correct:

My second coming to earth will not take place physically .... such that My feet will touch this earth, instead I will appear with an entourage of the most elevated beings of light and will be visible to all who are My Own, for no human being having devoted himself to My adversary will ever be able to behold Me in all My glory, for the darkness cannot see the light since people would completely cease to exist, being unable to endure the radiance coming forth from Me. Hence I will come to earth and also to My Own still concealed in the clouds, yet they will be able to bear an abundance of light and thus they will highly delightedly rejoice when they see Me with the great host of angels .... For I will open their eyes to see .... Hence it is wrong to say that everyone will see Me when I come to judge the living and the dead, for the 'Judgment' will not happen such that every individual person has to be answerable to Me. For I know every individual soul, I know to whom it belongs, and since the last Judgment on this earth is a matter of transforming the entire earth and dissolving its separate creations so that all spiritual substances are released to be placed into new forms, this dissolution also denotes the death of people who had failed their last test of earthly life and had handed themselves over to My adversary .... Hence these will be faced by death and unable to escape, which will generate intense panic amongst people .... Yet prior to this final work of destruction My Own will be lifted away ....

I will come to fetch them Myself, they will be allowed to behold Me as I descend to them from above, rejoicing elatedly and with burning love for Me they will longingly stretch out their hands to Me, and I will draw them to Me, I will take them away, I will lift them up, and thus they will experience a process which completely contradicts natural law .... And this jubilation by My Own will be heard by other people who are at first unable to understand it since they won't see anything themselves. Consequently they will merely be seized by a certain apprehension, which will turn into extreme fear and horror when they see My Own suddenly disappear, when they can't understand why they are no longer able to reach the people they had pursued with their hatred .... why they are no longer amongst them and cannot be found ....

There will certainly be radiating brightness, but the pursuers will find it intolerable. Yet they will not have much time to think about it because the end will follow soon .... And the radiant brightness will give way to an almost impenetrable darkness that will drive people to despair. This will be followed by eruptions, outbreaks of fires, splits will occur in the earth so that no person can save himself and everything will be devoured by the earth ....

Not much time will pass between the My Own's rapture and this final destruction, for the rapture would force the remaining people to believe and this would be entirely worthless as it would exclude a free decision. People will have had adequate time before and will have been constantly admonished and forewarned, and anyone still coming to his senses before will also still be accepted and called away before the breakdown of earth, so that he can be helped to progress in the beyond. This act of the rapture is a completely unnatural process, but then I will be able to waive the laws of nature because it will no longer disadvantage anyone's soul .... But even My coming in the clouds will no longer compel people to believe because those who will see Me will have already attained maturity of soul so that they will merely experience the fulfilment of what they firmly believed and therefore anticipated My arrival on a daily basis.

People rarely accept a correct explanation especially about these last events because they have already formed their own concepts about it and don't want to let go of their ideas .... The rapture cannot possibly take place a longer time in advance because such unlawful occurrences would force people to change their mind .... And the end of this earth in any case means the end of everyone who is still alive, for even My Own will experience it, only they will be in a state devoid of all suffering, even though they will be able to follow the process, because this is My will .... Since they will then be completely devout they shall also experience My might and glory, and thus they will also be able to behold My great host of angels surrounding Me, and then they will also be suitable ancestral parents to populate the new earth, which indeed will also be the work of an instant for Me when I want to give the liberated spiritual essence a new external shape for further maturing ....

But the people themselves will have lost all awareness of time until they are returned to the new earth again .... Nevertheless, they will still possess their old body of flesh albeit it will be quite spiritualised already .... This, too, has to be said in order to refute the misguided opinion that the new earth will be populated by completely spiritualised beings .... For the new earth is intended to become a place for higher development again and the old laws will be applicable to the new earth too .... The process of the fallen spirits through the creations up to the human being will take place and the person as such will have to pass the last test of will again .... which in the beginning will certainly lead to success because there will be no temptations by the adversary, who is bound for a long time .... and because people are full of love they will establish a direct contact with Me and therefore attain full maturity very quickly .... You should not let wrong descriptions tempt you into neglecting or postponing your psychological work, for I will abide by the day when I will come in the clouds and with this day will also come the Last Judgment on this earth ....

Amen

There is only one truth .... this one comes from God ....

B.D. 8744 from February 4th 1964, taken from Book No. 92

Only from Me can the light shine for you, because I am the source of light from eternity .... And that is why you can also only receive information from Me if you are moved by questions which concern spiritual areas .... Because in this area I alone am the lord; I alone know about everything, and I alone also have the power to answer your questions truthfully, by Me supplying you with the knowledge about it through My spirit. And that is why I also want that you present every question, which moves you, to Me for answer; I want that you occupy yourselves with it in remembrance and submit every ambiguity to Me, so that I now can also give you information about it. And that is why it would be so easy for you to move in purest truth, because I alone know about everything, but also love you so that I do not want to leave you in error. But you only rarely turn to Me with questions, which you cannot answer yourselves, and then it is also easy that error is brought near to you, because My opponent knows about all weaknesses and he always finds connection, where an earnest desire for truth does not deny him the entrance. Where I now obviously guide truth to earth, where you obviously can speak of divine revelations, there the error is clearly pointed out by Me, and you are taught according to truth. Man himself can extend his spiritual wealth when he asks Me questions, but which must always touch spiritual areas because divine revelations are always about the supply of spiritual material, of knowledge, which has nothing to do with the world and its demands. And as soon as therefore disputes arise between men about spiritual thought material, then also the right opportunity is given to present these disputes to Me Myself and to desire enlightenment, and truly, you will receive this in fullest truth and increase in knowledge, in a spiritual thought material, which will remain with you in eternity. Because truth always and forever remains the same; it never changes and will also always only make happy, never disappoint. But if you walk along in error, then you will never be able to be happy, because error is belonging to My adversary, and he will never seek to make you happy, but always hinder you to find true happiness, which however means for you truth coming from Me. And whether men also want to deny that there is an absolute truth, then also this thought has been whispered to them by My opponent, because there is only one truth, and this goes out from Me .... If the human being believes that he can look at everything from different angles and now believes something to be truth just because it appears so to him, then he is already in deepest error because he speaks a relative truth .... Truth is absolute, unique, and not to be overthrown by however fine a formulation .... It cannot be regarded by one as such, by another as such, for it cannot be refuted, because there is only ever one truth, and this is with God as the eternal truth Itself .... And I do not contradict Myself, neither do I formulate the truth in such a way that it can be understood differently, but in all clarity I convey it to you humans who only desire the truth .... For I alone know and recognize everything; I alone am the source from which pure truth comes forth. I alone also have the power to impart the truth to My creatures .... as soon as they are self-aware .... even if, due to freedom of will, I cannot prevent this truth from being deformed again and again .... For My adversary does this again and again in order to assert himself, and every person is free to choose from whom he accepts his spiritual knowledge .... but he will only have the guarantee of truth with Me .... And man can certainly as a result of his degree of maturity more or less recognize truth as such and therefore also hold the opinion that truth is relative .... as every man considers it from himself .... But then this only proves a very low degree of maturity, and he will also not change his judgement until he himself has increased the degree of maturity of his soul, what is only possible through love work alone .... And thus the person who is willing and active in love will always be approached by the truth, whereas the rejection of truth is also evidence of a loveless nature in the human being, who then only ever lets his intellect speak and cannot be instructed by his spirit within himself, which is only awakened through a life of unselfish neighbourly love .... And in this alone you men find the explanation of the different thinking .... you find in it the explanation why truth is not recognized and why mankind moves in such confused thinking .... Love is missing, and without love man has only a very low degree of realization; without love he does not desire truth, and without love he will also not recognize it as truth, however always be open-minded for teachings, which My adversary has put into the world to proceed against truth, which will always be and remain his endeavour. For he only ever requires darkness of spirit for his activity in order to have complete success .... to prevent people from the right realication ...._>Amen

The souls' fate after death varies ....

B.D. 8745 from February 5th 1964, taken from Book No. 92

I Am present with you Myself when you hear My Word, and My presence has to fill you with light and strength because I Am the primary source of light and strength Myself. The fact that you do not feel it in a purely physical way cannot be helped for you own sakes, since My permeation of light would destroy your weak body if I did not just impart it to the soul which is already able to tolerate a greater measure of light and strength and is happy in this state.

Hence you have to believe this, for I cannot provide you with any other evidence but for the fact that you hear My Word and that this Word also has to make your soul very happy, it demonstrates My direct contact after all, for My Word is strength and light and this is what you hold on to, it cannot vanish anymore, it is the obvious sign of My presence which continues to please you even if you detach yourselves from this heartfelt bond by complying with the world and its requirements again. But you have an abundance of light and strength and are able to resist all temptations by the world, you constantly look into My direction, and you will no longer leave Me, just as I will not let go of you, who have become My Own through your heartfelt bond with Me.

And time and again I want to delight you anew by initiating you into profound secrets, into knowledge which only I Am able to impart to you, because it touches on spiritual areas which are still locked to you as human beings as long as I Myself don't open them for you. And such knowledge will always please you and demonstrate My boundless love for you:

The transition from earthly existence into the spiritual realm entirely corresponds to a person's state of maturity and varies considerably .... A still imperfectly shaped soul possessing little love usually does not know that it is physically dead, it still moves within the same environment and just can't quite understand itself, for it keeps coming across obstacles arising from the fact that it still believes that it is alive and yet it is neither listened to nor able to do the things it used to do on earth. And such souls are also in darkness which, corresponding to their low degree of love, is impenetrable or occasionally changes into a faint state of twilight .... A soul like that is not blessed, it wanders about, it clings to similarly natured souls on earth, it tries to impose its thoughts on them and resists all beings wishing to improve its position, which can last, or even get worse, as long as it does not withdraw and reflect on its state ....

If, however, a soul departs from earth which had not lived a bad way of life, which even had acquired small merits through deeds of love but had little will to believe and failed to find Me in Jesus on earth, it will also be frequently unaware that it is no longer physically alive on earth, it will walk through vast deserted regions, admittedly in a slight twilight yet unable to perceive anything, it will meet no other beings and be alone with its thoughts .... And it will still dwell on many worldly thoughts, hanker after many different things and grieve its lack of possessions, which it is unable to understand and thus believes that it was placed into barren stretches of land as a result of disasters or by people with ill-intentions, and will then keep looking for ways out ....

And it is possible that it will wander through such areas for an infinitely long time until, due to the bleakness, it will gradually change its way of thinking and subsequently also meet similarly minded beings, which will then signify a small ascent. As soon as it is able to communicate with others it will be possible to instruct such souls, for they are usually approached by beings of light under the same cover in order to help them become aware of themselves. And then these souls will also gradually start their ascent ....

And a soul which leaves its earthly body having recognised Me on earth, having lived a life of love, believing in Me in Jesus and is thus redeemed from its original sin, will enter the kingdom of light, that is, it will find itself in a delightful region where it will feel profoundly happy, where it will be met by beings which, like itself, are permeated by light .... it will meet its loved ones again, it will have discarded all earthly heaviness .... it will be able to move itself to wherever it desires to be, wherever it wants to stay, it will experience the kind of bliss it had no idea of on earth .... it will come aglow with burning love for Me, Who prepares such splendours for you .... it will also recognise in a flash what it didn't know before, be it awareness of profound wisdom, be it the spiritual sphere which cannot even remotely be described to you on earth .... overflowing with love it will turn towards the beings requiring its help, be it on earth or also in the kingdom of the beyond .... It will want to serve Me in utter devotion and unite with equally mature beings for greatest activation of strength in order to tackle rescue missions which necessitate immense power. The transition from earth into the spiritual kingdom is but an awakening from a hitherto dead state into life for these souls .... For now that it has attained true life, it considers the state as a human being merely as a state of death, and with an abundance of merciful love it will devote itself to the 'still dead' in order to help them come alive as well. For 'eye has not seen, nor ear heard, the things which I have prepared for those who love Me ....'

If only you humans on earth were able to get an idea of what fate might await you on the other side, you would truly strive to create this fate for yourselves; yet this knowledge cannot be given to you in advance, it can certainly be presented to you, but as long as you have no evidence of it the knowledge will mean too little to you as to make serious use of it.

Nevertheless, it is extremely wonderful for a soul if it is able to immediately exchange its life on earth after death with the spiritual kingdom, if it no longer has to go through the difficult process of maturing in the beyond, for this can often necessitate an infinitely long time if it does not receive loving intercession on part of people, and again, only those will experience this intercession if loving thoughts follow them, and this will only ever be gained by the person who has carried out labours of love himself. In that case his further development will proceed more easily, and the longing to meet his loved ones again can also be a great incentive .... just as every instructing spiritual friend will help him to reach maturity faster, if his instructions are accepted by the soul. But as long as you humans live on earth you will be unable to form an accurate concept, just as the various spheres in which the souls will be able to stay can only vaguely be described to you. And every human being should be grateful for all kinds of ailments and afflictions, which will guaranteed lead to a better fate for the soul, irrespective of its nature .... than if it would depart from earth without suffering .... providing its degree of love and faith do not assure the soul the kingdom of light ....

Yet the majority of people are without love and faith in Jesus Christ .... And their transition from life to death will not be a pleasant one, for they will meet on the other side what they had pursued on earth. The longing for the earthly world will still be excessive in worldly people and yet no longer be fulfilled, in its illusive existence the soul will indeed create a world for itself, however, it will soon realise that it only created mental images, until it eventually loses interest and realises that it is in a miserable state and yearns to change its situation .... Then it will also receive help ....

Yet even those who neither lived a good nor a bad life on earth cannot expect an enviably fate in the kingdom of the beyond .... Admittedly, they will not be depressed by most profound darkness yet their lack of knowledge will torment them, for they cannot understand why they are unable to see anything, unable to speak to anyone and yet exist .... They will have little strength, and only when they think of Me will it become a little lighter around themselves, and only then will My messengers of light be able to cross their path and help them to improve their situation .... providing they allow themselves to be taught and let go of their previous attitudes. But blessed are those who won't have all these difficult experiences in the kingdom of the beyond, for whom the kingdom of light is open and who may take possession of all glories which the Father offers to His children in abundance because I (He) love them and now they also respond to My (His) love ....

God's address to unsaved souls ....

B.D. 8746 from February 6th 1964, taken from Book No. 92

To all of you who are still unredeemed .... on earth or in the beyond .... be told that only love can redeem you and that you will always have to practice this love but that you will also always be able to practice love, for even every good thought towards a fellow human being is already a work of love which will not remain without effect. And you are all surrounded by beings which need your help, no matter whether you still inhabit earth in the flesh or have already entered the spiritual kingdom .... For only when the kingdom of light has accepted you do you unite with beings which do not need help themselves. But also this union will only take place because you need power in increased measure to be able to help again those who are in spiritual trouble. It is always love which rescues you from spiritual adversity yourselves .... And when now loving intercession is made for you, you who are still unhappy, then you will feel this as a power current, and then you are therefore to use the power flowing towards you to be helpfully active, and you will suddenly feel the happiness yourselves, which a work of love prepares for you .... Only love can redeem you out of darkness, and every loving thought of a man towards you, whom this man wants to help, will touch you beneficently and also release you out of the chains, which still hold you captive in darkness. Because alone you are still too powerless, and when help is offered to you in the kingdom on the other side, then you resist it, or you are so apathetic that you do not react to it, while a loving pleading call will flash before you like a spark of light, which you want to follow and you now also feel the power to break away from the deep and to follow the light, and then you will also reach the exit of this light. And no matter whether you still hesitate, the blessing of light still determines you to remain there and to receive clear instructions, which are given to you on the part of messengers of light who are not recognizable to you. I address you who languish in wretchedness in the beyond and yet are not entirely abandoned because you are remembered in loving intercession .... But you humans on earth can also accept these words of Mine and likewise be grateful for the good thoughts you receive from your fellow human beings .... Because everything what has love as reason has a beneficial effect on the soul. But in the hereafter the unredeemed beings are so powerless that therefore first so much power must be supplied to them that they no longer remain inactive themselves, and this supply of power can only bring about loving intercession, because the beings themselves can acquire no power as long as they are without love, and the love, which they lack, must therefore go out by way of representation from those who take care of such unhappy beings. Love is power in itself, and the beings on the other side, which still stay in darkness, can only get power turned towards them through a ray of love; they are certainly not forced through the influx of power, but still strangely touched, so that no soul rejects such power current, but willingly devotes itself to it. Therefore no soul can be lost, whom loving intercession follows into eternity .... Only the souls are to be pitied, which have acquired so little love on earth that they leave no man behind, who remembers them in loving intercession .... These souls are in greater trouble; for them darkness is impenetrable; they see no sparks of light and freeze more and more because they cannot find out without help and also have no power to change their wretched lot. And to think of them likewise in loving intercession, I want to put to the heart of all those who know about the power of love, who are already of awakened spirit and know all connections, who want to take part in the redemption of the souls, which without help never reach the height. It is the time before the end, and a new redemption epoch begins .... which again lasts endless times .... And it is truly a work of greatest love and mercy to rescue souls out of the deep that they are not banished anew when the end of earth has come .... Every loving thought, which is meant for these souls, has an effect as power, and every conscious prayer for these souls will be of success .... and when the loving will to help just causes that a soul again follows the light, then it is already rescued. Because as soon as it was once touched by the light and felt this as benefit, it will never again move away from there, where the light shines, and it will also show the way to other souls, because it now has the need to exchange about everything what it experiences .... because it now also receives instructions and passes these on, and then again a rescue work has succeeded, which draws wide circles, because no soul remains inactive, as soon as it receives power itself .... So first through loving intercession, through good thoughts and then through the fact that it is also allowed to receive My word, always according to its will, which now always turns more towards Me and will also no longer let go of Me .... Believe that it is a great work of mercy and love to help such unhappy beings in their trouble, because inevitably the hour comes where again everything is banished in matter, what has not found the way up until then, and you, who want to be active redeeming, can contribute much to it to rescue those souls before it is too late. Therefore remember all who have departed from earth unbelievingly or without love, and give them the necessary power to be able to release themselves from the deep by you giving them much loving intercession, and by you putting all these souls to My heart and I can now accept your love representing them and provide them with power .... which always only means 'love' for these beings .... that they soften their hardened hearts and they themselves now also want to help because they see much trouble around them as soon as once their eyes have seen the light .... No prayer for such souls will be unsuccessful, only love has to drive you yourselves to it, then the souls will irrevocably receive strength and they will be saved ...._>Amen

Right vineyard workers ....

B.D. 8747 from February 8th 1964, taken from Book No. 92

You, who want to serve Me, you will always feel urged from within to work in My vineyard, then I will always put My will into your heart and cause you to do this or that activity, because who wants to serve Me, he will also carry My will into himself. Then also My spirit will be able to work in him, because the prerequisites for it are given, and My spirit will now also direct his thinking right, so that he can undertake everything without hesitation, to which he is urged .... A profound desire for truth must always determine him to impart only purest truth to his fellow human beings, no selfishness may stimulate him to want to be valid before his fellow human beings and therefore to come forward .... He must only ever be driven by the spiritual need of his fellow human beings to help them to find their way out of darkness, then he will also certainly do the right thing .... And he must seriously subject himself to this self-criticism. If his own desire for truth is strong, then he will also seek to impart the truth he has recognized to fellow human beings. And then he will also constantly be able to be certain of My support, because then I Myself work in him through My spirit, by Me directing his thinking right and he can now tackle the imparting of truth without hesitation, because then he possesses it himself, because I know the human hearts and their will and give to everyone according to this will. The supply of truth from above can therefore happen directly or also indirectly; I can directly address a man that he hears My word and writes it down to now pass it on to those who likewise stand in desire for pure truth, who therefore now receive it indirectly. But I can also have an effect through My spirit in man by Me enlightening his thinking, by Me directing all his thoughts right and he is therefore mentally introduced to truth, but his thinking will then also agree with My truth directly directed from above to earth. Who wants to be active for Me out of deepest inner need, he will also do the right, which is always assessed as redemption work, because his endeavour will always only be to break through the darkness, in which men walk along, to light a small light for them, so that they fulfil their earth life assignment and do not again lose eternal times. And My blessing will always be on such an endeavour. But who receives the word directly from Me, he knows it that he has an assignment from Me, which likewise consists of passing on truth to fellowmen. His assignment is already evident through the reception of My word, because this is given as a light, which is to be carried out into darkness. And this word will also not miss its effect because what goes out from Me must also have an effect on men full of light and power. And the receiver of My word must not let himself be held back from this obvious task, and he will always be able to reckon with My support, because only pure truth can achieve a change of men .... And so know that an unusual gift of favour is available to you men, which you receive My word through My messengers, because this word is blessed with My power and will therefore also be incomparable in its effect. That is why My blessing will rest on all of you, who work for Me and My kingdom, who are active on earth in My stead and therefore help in the redemption of erring souls ...._>Amen

The end of a period of Salvation is assured to you ....

B.D. 8748 from February 9th 1964, taken from Book No. 92

You are granted a specific length of time in order to attain your perfection, and that means as much as that the individual periods of development in My eternal plan of Salvation were fixed to last a certain time, consequently it means that I Myself will bring such a period of development to conclusion once the time has come to an end, for all My reign and activity takes place in lawful order, as was recognised by My wisdom to be good and successful. My decisions never change because profound wisdom and infinite love determined all events, and I have limitless power at My disposal in order to implement what I foresaw to be expedient. However, the beginning and the end of a period of development are so far apart that it is no longer possible for people to establish the start and thus they also deem an end impossible, therefore it simply remains a matter of faith to accept this teaching .... And neither should a human being be forced into changing his will due to some kind of evidence, and for that reason a veil has to remain spread across the most profound secrets of creation .... Nevertheless, one day the time will arrive when one period of Salvation comes to an end, and this is constantly pointed out to humanity through seers and prophets which I repeatedly awaken on earth in order to speak to people about things which cannot be explored by human intellect alone .... Ever since the start of such a period attention has been drawn to the fact that it will also come to an end eventually, yet such references rarely met with belief and people did not allow themselves to be influenced by it to change their way of living if the latter did not correspond to My will .... Such prophesies seemed implausible to them, and neither was it possible to force them into accepting teachings of that nature .... But regardless of how much time passes, sooner or later all references to the end of a developmental epoch will come true, and people must take into account that a new era will start again, what is old will pass away and something new will arise .... even if they are incapable of imagining such a renewal. But very few people dwell on this, and these few will delve deeper into My plan of Salvation and receive enlightenment from My side and therefore will also be convinced that an earthly period will come to an end, since due to their will for Me they also penetrate all correlations .... You humans have been granted a period of time in which to change yourselves, to return to Me. And this path of return was infinitely long, since before your existence as a human being you already lived on earth in other works of creation .... yet only in the human state are you aware of your life, you are only conscious of yourselves when you are human beings, whereas prior to this your self-awareness was missing and therefore you are oblivious to the time before your human existence. Even so, the time granted to you would have completely sufficed for you to become the kind of being again which you were when you first came forth from Me ....

If, however, you have not reached your goal then it will be your own failure and you will have to accept the consequences, for with untiring patience and greater than great love I helped you to ascend step by step, and I only gave you free rein for a very short time so that you, in complete freedom, were able to turn your steps towards Me of your own accord, that you voluntarily .... for love .... would come to meet Me in order to then always and forever be able to remain with Me as My child .... But I had to allow you this freedom, for it was the basic condition which enabled 'living creations' to become 'children', and it was indeed easy for you to pass this last test of will because you received an abundance of blessings, since I pursued you with My love and left no stone unturned to encourage your return to Me for good .... But the time granted to you has expired now and the law must fulfil itself .... Even if you humans don't want to believe it, the end of this period of development will come with absolute certainty, yet only the few which I will carry away on the last day will grasp it in its whole significance, in their spiritually awakened state they will understand the correlations and thus have become My Own on earth .... The others, however, will suddenly see themselves faced by death and be utterly unable to judge what is happening around them, what the spiritual implications are, for in their spiritual blindness they neither recognised their wrong way of life nor Me as God and Creator and had been lifeless creatures even before they fall prey to physical death .... But the time I predetermined for this earth and its inhabitants is over, and only My Own will survive and inhabit a new earth so that the eternal plan of Salvation .... the return for all once fallen spirits through My great creation .... will continue to return some of the fallen beings back to Me for good again. Yet untold suffering and immense misery will always precede the end of a developmental period, and precisely this indication should make those people think who pay attention to world events .... But people still opposed to Me don't see the suffering, instead they only see earthly pleasures, good living standards, economic development and solely strive towards earthly possessions .... And these, therefore, can only be shaken up and brought to their senses through natural disasters which cause tremendous devastation and destroy people's earthly commodities and possessions. Consequently, don't be surprised if many such disasters still come upon you, for they are the last means to galvanise those people who lethargically exist in their worldly sense of security and in physical comfort and who approach a dreadful end if they won't change anymore, which can only be achieved through a disaster which will not be caused through human will but gives clear evidence of a Power which they would only need to acknowledge in order to be saved for eternity ....

Amen

A teacher gets educated by Myself ....

B.D. 8749 from February 10th 1964, taken from Book No. 92

I will fill in all gaps in your knowledge as far as you need knowledge, for it is not yet possible for you as human beings on earth to penetrate the most profound depths of wisdom since it requires a high degree of perfection, which the being usually only attains in the spiritual realm where it can be fully enlightened by My love. Yet on earth the person to whom I assign a teaching ministry shall receive sufficient spiritual knowledge so as to leave no gaps for him, so that no question can be posed to him which he would be unable to answer .... Whatever a human being would like to know, he will always be able to obtain an explanation from those who are taught by Me directly through the spirit, and thus no knowledge will ever be unfamiliar to the teacher. However, he, too, will be slowly guided into it, and I always know when he requires particular knowledge in order to answer questions, hence I will always prepare him at the right time, or I will answer the questions posed to him directly, just as I promised you that you should ask Me if you want to know something .... Yet you who wish to know should always go to the source as well, for that is where you have the guarantee of receiving the truth from Me .... Don't allow yourselves to be instructed by ignorant people, by those who have not been called by Me to the teaching ministry ....

I welcome every person who wants to serve Me as a labourer in My vineyard, however, I assign everyone to the place where he is most suited to work for Me .... And so every servant's task differs .... But not every labourer in My vineyard is suited as a teacher, yet he can contribute towards spreading the truth by passing on the correct teaching material, by seeing to it that the truth from Me gets distributed; he can also use this information himself by verbally reading it word for word to his fellow human beings and thereby convey the direct Word from Me, which then will also emanate strength accordingly and will have the same effect on people as My address .... Yet not everyone should think that he fulfils My will if he makes use of the knowledge he has gained through My Word and then feels entitled and able to teach .... First he must appeal to Me from the bottom of his heart for enlightening his spirit, so that I can speak through him Myself, even if he uses his own words. Then he will speak plainly and simply and thus touch everyone's heart who is of good will. But if the person starts to offer intellectual explanations he will no longer pass on 'My Word' and hardly achieve any success. And then he will not render true vineyard work, he is still too much in the forefront instead of leaving the work to Me. The teaching ministry requires constant direct instruction by Me, since this instruction will also grant the person comprehension and correct judgment which enable him to teach.

But if I convey My Word directly to earth so that it can be written down, then the task of passing the transcript on to other people follows by itself, and for that I need faithful servants again who do whatever it takes to spread My Word, and I will bless them for it, since particularly the distribution of 'My Word' during the last days before the end is the most effective countermeasure of refuting My adversary's activity who ceaselessly endeavours to keep people in densest darkness by means of lies and errors .... Hence you shall help to spread the light, you shall carry it into the world so that many people will be able to gain strength through My Word in order to help them find their way out of the darkness. And truly, I choose the right servants for Myself who always fulfil their designated task, depending on their aptitude and willingness .... However, if a person sincerely asks Me for it I can also grant him the aptitude to speak on behalf of Me and My kingdom, but then he will bear witness to Me in a plain and simple way and try to encourage his fellow human beings' faith and love, he will live a life of love himself and thus also be spiritually awake so that I can use him as a mouthpiece although he will repeat in his own words what I put into his mouth.

And these speeches will not sound scholarly; they will not be guided by the intellect but only come from the heart, for I express Myself only through the heart. Even so, if I let My Word flow to earth directly I will educate a suitable teacher Myself whom I guide into a knowledge which he can understand and also pass on to his fellow human beings, for then he will be the vessel into which My spirit can flow, but as a human being he will also be endowed with the gift of enlightening another person who desires this clarification .... I have assigned this task to him and he will work according to My will, hence he will also be able to truthfully answer all questions put to him because he won't lack any knowledge. I will put everyone who earnestly wants to serve Me in the right place and give him his task, which he only ever shall carry out to the best of his ability, and My blessing will always rest on him and his work ....

Amen

Was Jesus' soul already incarnated before God's human manifestation? ....

B.D. 8750 from February 11th 1964, taken from Book No. 92

Time after time I want to reveal My love for you by introducing you to knowledge which will make you very happy, because like a bright light it will unveil things to you which previously were obscured by darkness .... and because your degree of awareness will be raised again, which also signifies a maturing of the soul. For love always will and has to be the foundation for the conveyance of My Word, I could not address you if a certain degree of love were not present, and thus this love will let the light of realisation shine ever more brightly within you. You are still occupied by questions which only I Am able to answer, because only I know the regions you wish to understand better:

All elevated, previously not-fallen spirits also incarnate on earth in order to take the path through the abyss for the purpose of attaining the highest goal .... the childship to God. And for this purpose they have to live on earth in the flesh, they embody themselves as a human being and live their earthly life just as every once fallen original spirit. They, too, have to struggle and resist all temptations with which they are confronted by My adversary's side .... Thus, they must have passed in truth 'through the abyss' in order to then .... when they are recalled .... return as a child of God to Me, their eternal Father .... And beings of light have descended at all times in order to help people who, as once fallen beings, should achieve their return to Me .... The light beings' love is very strong and profound so that they are always helpful and only ever intend to return My lost children to Me. And I do not stop them if they want to descend to earth in order to bring help, which is always needed. But the beings had always come from Me, permeated by My light of love they were living creations of utmost perfection who, with the same will as Mine, work with Me in the spiritual kingdom as well as on earth when they descend for the purpose of a mission. No being of light will ever exclude itself from a mission of bringing light to the earthly inhabitants ....

And thus the soul .... which as the human being Jesus accomplished the act of Salvation on earth .... was also such a spirit of light who had initially emerged from Me as a light ray of love to which I gave independent life .... This spirit had accepted a unique mission because he had realised from the start that the fallen beings needed Him, because he realised from the start that the first human being would fail and that he, therefore, as the 'human being Jesus' wanted to help humanity .... He was indeed, from the start, also actively involved in the creation of the material world, for My will and strength flowed into all beings who had remained loyal to Me and who therefore were active as independent beings in infinity. This soul, too, had descended to earth (this soul, too, had already previously served Me as a spirit of light), and it established a connection between the people and God, that is, it came to people as a spirit of light and thus enabled Me Myself to audibly speak to people through this soul .... Hence this spirit of light served Me as a cover, nevertheless not physically, albeit certainly temporarily visible to people but not permanently, in as much as that He did not live on earth as a 'human being' but only worked amongst people apparently having the same physical substance, and yet he was and remained a spiritual being Which disappeared again from sight of those whom It helped through instructions and discourses.

Elevated beings of light indeed embodied themselves physically on earth too, and as representatives of Myself always also proclaimed My will to people, for it was necessary to provide them with the information about why and for what purpose they lived on earth in spiritual hardship. Nevertheless, a distinction has to be made between the earthly life of a being of light as a human being and the appearance of a spirit of light through whom I communicated Myself. In that case the spirit of light was not My visible external cover .... as was the case with the human being Jesus .... but he only served Me to proclaim My Word to people in a natural manner, for I could also have addressed people from above but then they would have lost their freedom of will .... Thus I always availed Myself of an external form which could either be a physical or a spiritual human being. However, the former lived his life on earth as a human being, whereas the latter was only temporarily visible to people because they urgently required My Word.

Consequently, if it is said that Jesus' soul had repeatedly incarnated before My human manifestation you should only ever assume a spiritual appearance when I Myself .... love .... wanted to express Myself to you humans and thus I chose a spiritual cover for Myself in order to manifest Myself to people. Whereas an embodiment of Jesus' soul in the flesh before My human manifestation did not take place, although I was also able to express Myself in the Word through a human being if he thus had descended to earth from the kingdom of light. Jesus' soul was chosen to enable My human manifestation on earth, and this soul was truly the most elevated spirit of light Who, as first-born Son, had emerged from Me .... that is, from My strength and the will of the one whom My greater than great love had externalised as first-created being. I Myself, as the Eternal Spirit God, manifested Myself only in Jesus, in this highest soul of light .... But it had already served Me as a spirit of light previously in order to enable Me to speak to people, who nevertheless had a high degree of maturity which enabled Me to send them such beings of light through which I Myself could address them directly.

But the fact that untold beings of light had also been embodied as human beings prior to this which likewise upheld people's contact to Me, which brought My Word to them, which, in a manner of speaking, lived on earth as a mouthpiece for Me, should be accepted as truth but should not lead to misguided notions, because Jesus' soul was chosen for My human manifestation, since it had offered itself from the start for this act of compassion in the awareness of the first human beings' failure ....

It is wrong to say that I as 'God' have already incarnated several times .... For My human manifestation in Jesus is and remains a unique act, which humanity is unable and even the world of light is only barely able to grasp, the likes of which has never before and will never be evidenced again afterwards. For Jesus was not one of many but He was the One Who was to become for you humans and for all beings in the kingdom of light the visible God, Whom I have chosen for Myself as cover which shall remain eternally visible ....

And this being had an exceptional status, for His love .... as the first spirit emanated by My and Lucifer's love .... was so immeasurably profound that only He could be considered for My human manifestation and thus a previous process as a human being on this earth was out of the question which, however, does not exclude that He, too, took part in creating the material world, for He knew about My plan of return and He always unreservedly accepted My will and as a being with an abundance of light and strength was also able to accomplish it. This being was so devoted to Me that it enabled the complete fusion with Me, that He and I had to be one, because I in Him and He in Me absorbed each other completely, and this therefore will unveil the secret of My human manifestation in Jesus the moment the being has attained the degree of light again that gives him brightest realisation ....

Amen

Counteracting misguided views about Jesus’ incarnation ....

B.D. 8751 from February 12th 1964, taken from Book No. 92

I only ever want to put an end to doubts which slip into your hearts but which are good, because only then can you receive clarification, because a person who thinks he knows the truth and never asks for it cannot be taught either. As a result of My will something will always happen again which will make you doubt, and thus you will inwardly feel urged to question it. And many misguided views are prevalent which are partly due to wrong instructions and partly due to lack of understanding, and these are the ones I want to correct .... One of them is the popular opinion that Jesus' soul had been incarnated several times before My human manifestation in Him .... because human beings do not know the working of the world of light on earth and in the spiritual kingdom. Until they understand the correlations they will remain indifferent to such misguided teachings and reject them in the belief that they have the right knowledge. Consequently, these correlations have to be explained to people time and again, which is exactly what I always do .... Because I, the Eternal Truth, will always convey the truth to people and disprove every misguided teaching and substantiate it.

The beings of light, which had remained faithful to Me when Lucifer and his followers deserted Me, are permanently working with Me and within My will .... Their activity in the spiritual kingdom cannot be explained to you, but they participate in the formation of new creations of the most diverse kinds, because they incessantly endeavour to provide the fallen substances with every opportunity to ascend, since their profound love constantly urges them to take redeeming actions. They will also descend to earth themselves if people's spiritual hardship calls for it .... All of this has been explained to you several times already .... But you live in an age which has been preceded by many phases of development. And the world of light has always been instrumental in furthering the progress of human beings ....

And there were also times when I Myself, the Eternal Love, took care of people who had ignited love in their hearts themselves, whose nature was thus on the way to returning to Me, however, due to their encumbering original sin there was still a long distance which could only be bridged by Jesus' act of Salvation .... Nevertheless, My love was concerned that they should not succumb to My adversary's temptations, which he had constantly used to tie them to himself. And thus I revealed Myself to them through My Word .... I came to the people on earth in My Word, and the Word was spoken by a spirit of light who descended to earth for the very purpose that the people could hear the Word of the Father ....because I Myself was not visible to human beings, but even this spirit of light only remained visible to people for as long as I wanted to speak through it .... Thus the being of light was not embodied in a human being, in fact it was an original spirit who had not fallen, but this original spirit did not come to earth for the purpose of becoming a child of God .... which is associated with a mission .... but for people it was purely a visible external shape for 'My Word', which was supposed to be heard as if it was spoken between one person and another, but without having a compelling effect on them.

Since I Am 'the Word' Myself, I Myself came to earth to those whose hearts were filled with love. And now I adopted the shape of a spirit of light for Myself, however, he was not physically incarnated as a human being on earth but again was only active as a pure spirit who had the power to visibly show himself to people or to dissolve the shape of his own will again .... And in this manner I stayed with human beings several times ....

And Jesus' soul, the most loving spirit who came forth from Me, was of service to Me too so that My Word could be spoken through him, that He thus remained a man amongst men, on the face of it .... But the act of My human manifestation in Jesus was a most unusually significant process which has to be explained as well. I chose the most elevated and perfect spirit of light for Myself, Whose greater than great love justified this foremost position and therefore it was the first time that He took on a human embodiment when He was to serve Me, the highest and most perfect spirit of eternity, as a cover, because My human manifestation in Him has been and remains a unique event. A previous incarnation as a human being could not have been possible because such an existence as a human being would have required Him to stay in the region of My adversary, who was still extremely powerful since the original sin had not yet been redeemed .... and the forces of darkness would then have clung to His soul, which He could certainly have shaken off but He could not have redeemed them, because the act of Salvation was necessary for this .... But where I wanted to manifest Myself no dark being was permitted to have tempted before, and no act of unkindness should previously have taken place, not even in defence against evil beings which, however, could not have been prevented because an embodied being of light cannot hand itself over to the darkness.

All these happenings are comprehensible when Jesus Christ' act of Salvation is taken into account, which first had to redeem the fallen beings' original sin .... But an incarnation as human being will always imply either the salvation of a fallen original spirit or to enable a non-fallen original spirit to take the path through the abyss in order to become a child of God ....

However, Jesus' soul was given the most arduous mission for its earthly progress, it voluntarily took extreme suffering upon itself, but the love which filled His soul in abundance gave Him the strength to do so .... Even before its descent to earth it had already consisted of the utmost profusion of light and thus was in truth 'My Son, in Whom I Am well pleased ....' I could only embody Myself in a soul like that, this 'human manifestation of God' was only possible in Him .... only He could completely integrate with Me, thus becoming one with Me ....

Amen

Bliss by grace ....

B.D. 8752 from February 13th 1964, taken from Book No. 92

Truly, you can only become blessed by grace .... Understand that you all voluntarily chose death when you renounced your love for Me, when you fell away from Me and thereby sinned against Me and fell into the abyss .... This apostasy from Me once took place, otherwise you did not walk on this earth, because your being as man is only the result of that former apostasy from Me. You yourselves therefore rejected Me and My love, and this sin weighs so heavily upon you that you yourselves will never be able to bear it away .... that this is why Jesus Christ came to earth and accomplished the act of salvation on the cross for you, which redeemed your original sin. But you originally emerged from My love, and this love also no longer lets go of you .... This love gives itself to you perpetually, it does everything to draw you back to itself again, and because of your great guilt of sin every work of love towards you is therefore a 'grace', an undeserved gift, which I give to you to help you again to beatitude .... You can only become blissfully happy out of grace, for everything has to happen from Me, because you yourselves are in complete lack of strength and are no longer able to lift yourselves out of the abyss into which you have plunged yourselves .... I have to give you strength, and I have to pull you on and on .... upwards to the height. Where I should punish, I allow grace to prevail; where I should deny Myself to you, I give Myself to you, even though you yourselves do not deserve it. This is therefore to be understood by 'grace', that you are not entitled to demand, since you have made everything a joke to yourselves through your apostasy from Me, but that I continue to give to you voluntarily, that I do not pay attention to your great guilt and still give to you with My love .... Only I cannot give you 'happiness', because you must acquire this yourselves, by you now also fulfilling My will, by you keeping My commandments, which demand love from you towards Me and towards the neighbour. But that you can do this, that is also a gift of favour from Me, because I give you power in every way .... But you have to accept and use all gifts of grace voluntarily, for although the measure of grace is exceedingly great you will nevertheless not be forced to accept it .... but this is determined solely by your free will .... which I cannot and will not judge, because this violates the law of eternal order, because this calls My perfection into question, Who cannot create anything but perfection, and free will also belongs to perfection .... And since you yourselves have left perfection through your apostasy from Me, since you have completely changed your nature, only My never-ending love can still save you by showering you with blessings which, however, are available to every person but are not equally utilized by all people. And when you now believe that I Myself determine the degree or time of your happiness, then you are in erroneous thinking, because exactly in it consists of My happiness that you voluntarily return to Me, that you return the love to Me, which I give to you .... that you change your nature again yourselves back into your original being, where My love could radiate through you constantly. I truly have the power at any time to make you perfect again with one blow, but in this I see neither love nor wisdom, nor happiness. My aim is right children who are urged on to the father through love, who show Me a heart full of love and long for union with Me .... But due to your former fall into sin they would never reach the final aim if I did not grant them grace upon grace, if I Myself did not give Myself to them again and again. Therefore you can 'only become blessed out of grace', but you also have to use these graces voluntarily, and that is why people's degree of love and maturity is so different, although the measure of grace is not reduced for anyone, but it depends on the acceptance of the graces that they can also be effective on you. But without grace without My loving help you would be completely incapable of taking the path of return to Me, and whether you lived on earth for eternities .... as long as you resist Me and My love you will not avail yourselves of My blessings either, and so long will you remain distant from Me, you will condemn yourselves, for you will create every fate for yourselves .... Bliss or wretchedness .... You will only then finally return to Me when you let yourselves be seized by My grace and love, no longer offer any resistance and now also reciprocate My love yourselves, which will then also unite us for all eternity ...._>Amen

Free will must accept spiritual knowledge ....

B.D. 8753 from February 14th 1964, taken from Book No. 92

Wherever you have the opportunity to clarify spiritual matters, make use of it and you can always be assured of My support. For nothing approaches you accidentally, everything is ordained by Me as I recognise it to be useful and beneficial for people's souls. Much error must still be clarified and I know which people are of good will. I try to convey the truth to these so that they will begin to understand and don't pass on their misunderstanding to their fellow human beings' detriment. But I can only ever take effect where people's will applies to Me, so that no further opposition exists towards Me as God and Creator, for such opposition obstructs all avenues and prevents a person from accepting what is conveyed to him as truth. I Am a God of love, wisdom and power and yet committed to My law of eternal order. I cannot infringe against this law Myself because I Am a supremely perfect Being, consequently, this eternal law was also devised according to My perfection. And thus I cannot, by virtue of My power, enslave a created free being by imposing My will on it .... And by virtue of his free will the human being can know the truth but also believe the most blatant error without being hindered by Me .... However, the slightest will to know the truth will assure it to him, because I have the power to do so and because I recognise the will and thus arrange everything such that the person is guided into the truth.

Everyone willing to serve Me, thus everyone who works in the sense of enlightening his fellow human beings, must be spiritually awakened himself, that is, he must have an intimate mental bond with Me and through loving activity so deepen this intimate bond that he thereby establishes contact with Me, thus enabling My influx of love which demonstrates itself in the form of transmitting the truth. Only when he has the truth himself can he pass it on to other people, and then I will bless him and truly provide him with an abundance of spiritual thoughts, and he will not need his intellect as much if he listens to the voice of his heart. He will let himself be more guided by his feeling and can still very successfully accomplish his work because he can always be certain of My support when it concerns that light shall be carried among people. You must just allow yourselves to be guided without resistance, that is, comply with all inner instructions which you experience as your own but which will always be caused by My will, which gives you the right thoughts. I can use anyone who merely feels the inner urge to possess the truth and to pass it on as a suitable labourer in My vineyard, for he will only ever work according to My will which he feels within as his own desire and, therefore, which he would like to live up to. And I will smooth his every way and also guide his thinking right .... Yet there are only a few who seek enlightenment and approach the source of light, there are only a few who are not satisfied with the spiritual knowledge they receive from outside, who try to get to the bottom of everything and are in heartfelt contact with Me .... Therefore the truth can only rarely be conveyed to earth from My side, nevertheless, it will be spread because the light prevails and will time and again shine for those who want to leave the darkness. And the deeper they penetrate the truth the stronger their inner urge to enlighten their fellow human beings is, and then a person will be a true worker in My vineyard, for he will tell people on My behalf what they should and indeed could know if only they opened their hearts to let bright light shine into them .... And even though there are only a few they will nevertheless not work in vain, for the effectiveness of the strength of light should not be underestimated .... And therefore just pay attention to My guidance and also accept every happening as divine providence, for I alone know people's hearts and I alone know what their souls need in order to mature fully ....

Amen

As it was before the great Flood ....

B.D. 8754 from February 16th 1964, taken from Book No. 92

The time will come when it will be just as it was before the great Flood .... Once again people will take pleasure in their life on earth with exuberant joy, once again they will strive to reach the highest goals, yet their every thought will purely be materialistically inclined .... Once again sin will become rife and people will be Satan's obvious servants, the truth will be ridiculed and error will be idolised .... God's voice will not be heeded, yet for Satan's voice people's hearts will be receptive and thus they will only ever accomplish what is wrong and constantly infringe against the eternal order, they will be entirely without love but posses excessive selfish love instead and only ever look after and work for themselves and mercilessly bypass their needy fellow human beings. But this time has been predicted to you and will come as certainly as one day follows another, for one day even the future will become the present, and one day all predictions will come true, thus you humans are facing the end and there is not much time left. Therefore, all those of you who have offered to work in the vineyard of the Lord should still be diligent. You should do everything possible in order to enlighten your fellow human beings, and for this purpose spiritual information is conveyed to you from above which is truly suitable to make people take stock of themselves if they seriously consider it. Nevertheless, God can look into all human hearts and also see who can still be saved. For the sake of these few He sends His messengers to bring them the Word which will grant them complete clarification and also informs them of the guidelines for a correct way of life. Accepting this Word of His will already signify salvation from darkness and deliverance from ruin, for anyone who takes possession of God's Word will also receive everything else he needs, so that he will have an abundance of strength and light and will no longer fear any onslaughts by the opposing spirit. Do you still doubt this if you look around in the world, if you pay attention to the worldly children's activity and observe all world events, which truly take on such forms that only a momentous act of destruction by God can still shake people up? Do you really think that the adversary's activity will subside, that he will abandon the dominion again which he managed to achieve over people? .... Do you think that people will fight against their selfish love and helpfully attend to their fellow human beings so that they will kindle love in them and make contact with God? ....

Only very few will succeed in doing so, and they belong to His Own whom He will remove at the end of days, who will occupy the new earth as ancestral parents of the new human race, as it is constantly proclaimed. Yet their number will be very small, and the sole goal of the vineyard labourers is to increase this number and to induce all people capable of changing to implement this change so that the harvest at the end will not be too small .... But the end will come with absolute certainty .... For even if you humans do not know the time and hour, and neither will God ever give you the exact date, it will nevertheless come rapidly closer, because it was predetermined from the start. You will be admonished ever more urgently to prepare yourselves for the end because you still have the opportunity of changing yourselves and of joining your God and Creator Who, as your Father, wants to grant you the happiness of eternal life ....

Nevertheless, precisely because the day and hour of the end is unknown to you, you should continue with your daily work, but you should always take it into account, otherwise the end would not be pointed out to you increasingly more urgently .... Just pay attention to all the signs, for it will be as it was before the great Flood, people's craving for pleasure will find no bounds, and the adversary will constantly incite them to live a rampant life, to commit all manner of sins and crimes, and they will utterly comply with his will because they lack the strength to resist him and because they don't avail themselves of the blessings of Jesus Christ's act of Salvation Who, through His death on the cross, acquired a stronger will for them. Judging by people's satanic state of activity the adversary's power will seem to be greater than God's power, yet it is people's free will which gives rise to this great power .... Even so, God Himself will stop him when he exceeds his power, when he proceeds against God Himself and tries to eradicate the knowledge of Him in Jesus and His act of Salvation .... Then the Light of Eternity Itself will penetrate the darkness, then Jesus Himself will come in the clouds and fetch the flock of believers, who remain faithful to Him until the end. Then He will carry them away in full sight of people governed by Satan, and they will fall prey to certain death, for the earth will split open and receive all those who failed their final test of earthly life and who will therefore be banished anew in the creations of the new earth. As incredible as it may seem to you, you must accept it as truth and should not believe that you will remain on this earth for very much longer .... Sooner than you think the day will come and blessed is he who, prior to that, will still accept the truth when it is offered to him by you, who serve as loyal labourers in the vineyard of the Lord. Blessed is he who lives his life on earth consciously, knowingly turns to God and tries to attain the goal on earth, for he will truly be guided through all temptations and also be able to withstand the onslaughts by God's adversary, for the adversary only has power over a person who grants him this power himself .... But no person whose will belongs to His God and Creator, Whom he has recognised as his Father and solely strives towards Him, can ever be forced to be enslaved by the adversary .... And since humanity itself has enthroned God's adversary it will also share his fate when he is enchained and thrown into the darkness ....

His followers will also be banished into matter and will have to travel the path of higher development once more, and that will necessitate a transformation of the earth's total surface area, a destruction of all works of creation, so that the indwelling spirits can be released and placed into new forms in the creations of the new earth again. For God will never let the process of development come to a standstill, new possibilities will always be created when the soul has failed as a human being, for sooner or later every soul must reach the goal, sooner or later every soul will come alive and never lose this life again ....

Amen

Activity of non-fallen primordial spirits ....

B.D. 8755 from February 17th 1964, taken from Book No. 92

If you are to be active as teachers, then you must also be informed about everything in truth; you must be able to refute every erroneous teaching, therefore be completely informed yourselves about that what you want to bring to your fellowmen as spiritual knowledge. And you will also only then represent your knowledge convinced when you are enlightened by Me Myself, because I alone know about everything and also I alone can introduce you to the areas, which are inaccessible to your intellect. The act of creation of the spiritual beings was always an emanation of My strength of love into the vessel which I created for Myself as the first being .... which therefore received My flow of strength of love and which now .... since it was My image .... again utilized the strength flowing towards it by likewise being creatively active by creating beings of the same kind in endless numbers .... Thus every being was radiated love-power from Me .... Every being had to be supremely perfect because nothing imperfect could emerge from Me, because My strength of love never diminished and thus the same strength of love flowed through all these beings. That I would have created something secondary from Me could therefore not be possible .... But the beings themselves could form themselves to ungodly beings through their wrong direction of will. And so it has to be pointed out for the time being that every being had free will, otherwise it could not be called perfect. This free will was now confronted with a decision because the being was to prove its perfection. It was to decide whether it wanted to remain perfect, although it could also turn into the opposite .... precisely because it was equipped with free will. And that innumerable perfectly created beings fell away from Me during this test of will and followed their lord into the deep, who himself had not passed the test of will, of this you have already often been informed. But now the question is whether there were also beings which were created without free will, which therefore could not do otherwise than fulfil My will? Then I Myself would have created inferior beings which had to be denied perfection, for free will belongs to a perfect being, otherwise they would have been insubstantial 'works' of My creator's will .... dead creations, so to speak, for only free will is the cause of every activity .... But whether this will has completely subordinated itself to Me or works on its own authority, that now also determines the relationship of the being to Me. Every unfallen being now gave itself to Me fully and completely; it subordinated its will to Mine of its own accord and now worked with Me and in My will. It only carried out what corresponded to My will, because through its bond with Me it was also of the same will itself .... while the apostate beings separated themselves by virtue of their free will. They disregarded My will and worked against Me and can only again reach the high degree of love after endless long walk through the deep where they voluntarily again submit to My will, then therefore also again work and create with Me in My will, which has now also become theirs. So you therefore have to differentiate: beings of light .... who remained loyal to Me during their free test of will and therefore will always create and work in My will and therefore are immeasurably happy, because they will never feel as unfree beings determined by Me, because such a state would completely contradict My order from eternity .... and apostate beings, which directed their free will wrongly, which would always work against Me if I did not bind their will during the time of their ascent from the abyss. The process of return now takes place on these beings, in which all light beings, i.e. all once not fallen beings and such, which have already reached the adoption as children of God in earth life or stand in an already high degree of light, take part .... All these beings carry My will within themselves, however it is free and submits itself to Mine of its own accord, since this would truly not be a sign of a divine and perfect being if it were under compulsion .... that it would therefore have to carry out what I instruct it to do .... You humans still cannot quite explain the word 'perfection' to yourselves .... For then every state of imperfection is excluded, and unlimited happiness is the lot of a perfect being, but which could not be brought into line when a being was determined to all activity and therefore would be unfree so to speak. The army of spirits created by Me, which remained with Me, are innumerable, and all work in infinity, always in the redeeming sense, by them creating the possibilities for ascent for everything fallen. Yet it is wrong to say that these beings cannot do anything other than carry out My will, instead, they want nothing other than to serve Me and all unredeemed spirits, because they are high spirits of love, and I Myself allow them to work for Me in order to make them happy, for a thought from Me is truly sufficient to bring it to fruition by virtue of My will in order to cause everything to come into being that which these beings of light create, in order to feel bliss themselves in the process .... And when I speak of beings of light it is the same as when I speak of the endless host of My angels, who all stand in highest perfection and proved their perfection by remaining loyal to Me when a greater host of these angels turned away from Me and fell into the abyss. They have proven their love and loyalty to Me, and still also these light beings once walk the course through the deep, so that they themselves accomplish the work of formation to the child of God, that they then out of own will and serving-willing love themselves as it were accomplish a work of creation, which exactly I could not create for Me, because this has free will as prerequisite, which the being then uses in earth life as man to reach highest perfection. And all beings which have faithfully remained with Me are in the highest degree of light and their love for Me is indescribable, they know about My will and will understandably not allow any other will to arise in them because of their infinitely profound love. But none of these beings is bound to My will, otherwise its beatitude would be diminished, which will never happen from Me .... But that nevertheless My whole work of creation is subject to the hierarchy of My angels is due to the fact that the power once radiated by Me as being has to be constantly active and that My love again and again lets ideas come into execution to constantly make My creatures happy .... But only an activity in freedom will ever make happy, never an activity in compulsion .... Because only the fallen spiritual is subject to compulsion in a certain period of time, but never the beings, which are active as angels of light in My kingdom ...._>Amen

Jesus’ body was also solidified substance in accordance with God’s will ....

B.D. 8756 from February 18th 1964, taken from Book No. 92

Accept My instructions and ask Me whatever you would like to know, because I want to explain the truth to you so that you can pass it on to those who ask you. Although you can only receive appropriate clarification in accordance with your comprehension I will also give your intellect the ability to recognise spiritual knowledge, and thus you will be able to stand up to the rational person where necessary. Reconciling the physical consistency of the man Jesus with the supreme spirit of light, Who descended to earth in order to serve Me as a cover for My human manifestation, is difficult for you to understand .... Fallen as well as non-fallen original spirits live on earth in a physical external frame which consists of impure substances of another original spirit, thus they are still at the beginning of their development ....

Hence the soul is meant to perfect itself during its life on earth, it should remove everything unspiritual within itself, it should resist all temptation, discard all impure waste, fight against impure instincts and desires, change all vices into virtues .... thus it should change its whole being into love .... And it is constantly harassed by the immature substance which wants to pull the soul down again and which is constantly driven to do so by My adversary. Consequently, human life on earth is the last process of purification within the physical external form, and it can result in complete success, in the soul's total spiritualization .... At the same time the soul can redeem and spiritualise the body, too, if it tries to influence this immature substance with much love .... if it stifles all worldly lust and increasingly tries to persuade the body to completely detach itself from the world .... if, therefore, soul and body jointly follow the spirit within and enter into an innermost connection with Me ....

Every human being will have to fight these conflicts with himself, because every physical external frame is an immature spiritual substance which still belongs to the adversary, it merely cannot be controlled by him directly during the period of constraint, whereas the soul is exposed to the temptations of the adversary during its earthly life and needs to resist them firmly .... and the body, due to its immaturity, will always aggravate the soul's aspirations, because the undeveloped spiritual substance is still more aligned with darker realms. However, it can receive light if it carries out deeds of love, and then the body will always participate in everything the soul wants to do.

Although Jesus' soul certainly had a physical body there was, nevertheless, a difference, because His body, His physical cover, did not belong to a once-fallen original spirit, in spite of being physical, i.e. in accordance with My will solidified spiritual substance, which could not actually be influenced by My adversary because it did not belong to him since he had no authority over any spirit which had not fallen. But Jesus had to fulfil a mission .... to achieve His own spiritualization on earth through love and the agonizing death at the cross .... through the act of Salvation. When His soul had descended to earth and entered into a physical cover it was besieged and held by numerous immature substances which had been attracted by the light, but which experienced the light as torment and tried to extinguish it. The soul of light had entered the kingdom of darkness and had to pass through this area and disperse and redeem everything entering its sphere with its light .... It had to suffer with love and try to help all unspiritual substances which had joined it, because His immense love caused Jesus to descend to earth and the soul did not surrender this love but used it as strength for the weak wretched substance which clung to it and which it could not remove forcefully, since His love did not allow it.

And thus the body was harassed by the said immature spiritual substance which wanted to transfer all instincts that are inherent in every human to the body. And externally, from other people, the soul was equally troubled by many different temptations which stimulated the natural instincts in Jesus' body, because His body was created no different than that of other people albeit it did not contain any satanically attached substances, since due to My will it was begotten without sin and thus a pure vessel for My human manifestation within it. But for the purpose of its act of Salvation the body responded to all assaults by My adversary, to all temptation from outside, to all human seduction just like any other body and Jesus had to overcome all these instincts within Himself, because He had to exemplify to people the right kind of life. And thus He had to overcome every human instinct, all desire for the world, all lust, He had to offer resistance, fend off all temptation without violating love .... thus He had to spiritualise His body just as every other human being, and He succeeded in doing so, having been given the strength by love which also finally accomplished the act of Salvation .... And yet again the man Jesus had to know and overcome all human weaknesses, because He was intended to become a shining example to all of humanity, because all human beings shall and can achieve this goal ....

This work of spiritualization was by no means easy for Him, since the temptations had been particularly powerful to Him, because the adversary himself had fought against Him as not to lose his followers .... On the other hand, however, the human external frame which was to shelter Me had to be pure and without sin, I could not have manifested Myself in a body whose substances belonged to an original spirit who had once deserted Me .... You have to clearly understand that. Because precisely this external shape should be and remain visible for eternity.

The unification of Myself, a most supreme Being of light .... My 'only begotten Son' .... and part of a fallen spirit would never ever have been possible. (The unification of Me, My 'only begotten Son' .... the most supreme Being of light .... ) But since the salvation through Jesus every fallen being can accomplish this unification with Me .... However, before Jesus' crucifixion the salvation had not yet taken place, thus the physical external shape could not have been saved either if it had been necessary, and hence I Myself could not have worked on earth through the man Jesus which, however, was the case, because My spirit was in Him and expressed itself with deeds of miracles and through My Word .... So don't be mislead if you are given knowledge which does not correspond to this .... but believe that you receive the pure truth from Me Myself because I know how misguided the thoughts of many people still are, and I will correct every error as soon as you ask Me for it ....

Amen

Only God can convey the truth to a person ....

B.D. 8757 from February 19th 1964, taken from Book No. 92

Let Me speak to you and accept My teachings .... Believe that purest truth is imparted to you and therefore also pass it on with conviction, then you are true labourers in My vineyard, for humanity's spiritual adversity requires the pure truth to be passed on to it. As long as people don't recognise Me correctly, as long as they don't have the right information about their God and Creator and His nature they will not strive towards Me either, for they will not consider Me worth striving for as long as they don't know that My nature is love, that I only ever give love and want to receive love .... Nevertheless, in order to give love My nature has to be recognised as profoundly perfect, and a person also has to be able to feel My love which, in turn, is only possible if My living creations .... you humans .... open themselves and voluntarily hand themselves over to Me, so that My love can illuminate them and make them happy. And therefore you also ought to know that you are My living creations, which My greater than great love brought forth, you ought to know that you are the products of My will of love and My strength of love and that your basic nature is love too .... But such knowledge can only be given to you by Me, Who knows everything .... Hence you should let yourselves be taught by Me and also impart the same information to those who are not in contact with Me themselves. For all human beings shall know what they fundamentally are, and they all shall endeavour to reach their original starting point again, because then they will become infinitely happy.

Only when I Am recognised as the most perfect Being in infinity will love for Me ignite in people's hearts, for then they will also know that I Am Love Myself, and love will press on towards love. But as long as people are not given the right explanation about My nature, as long as I Am presented as a condemning and wrathful God, they will not trustingly approach Me like children and therefore cannot learn anything about My love either. And even less will they give their love to Me, instead they will only ever fear Me and never establish the relationship of a child towards its Father. This, however, is what I require from you in order to be able to make you extremely happy with My love. Yet through My adversary's influence My image is being distorted, and through My adversary's influence the truth is also being undermined, combined with error or withheld from you .... since people, who voluntarily belong to My adversary, will fight against the truth and thus advocate in the world supposed spiritual knowledge as truth which in reality should not be able to lay any such claim to it. And these are the people you should counteract, since you are trying to fulfil My will and want to be of service to Me in My vineyard .... For you have received the pure truth from Me as the right seeds and you shall sow them into hearts which willingly open themselves, for the truth cannot be forcibly imparted to any person, it has to be lovingly offered and voluntarily accepted. But then it will also result in many blessings, insofar that people, who previously moved within dark regions because no light was as yet shining for them, will then be enlightened. I Am providing you humans with an ample amount of seeds which you should use to cultivate the fields so as to bring forth good fruit .... Yet only I can grant you this precious knowledge. Only I can convey it to you, I alone Am the source from which the font of life arises .... you can only get the correct nourishment from Me. But you, who are willing, can also give this sustenance to your fellow human beings, who just as urgently need good nourishment and a refreshing drink in order to continue their pilgrim's journey on earth.

For you have to travel your earthly path for the purpose of maturing your souls. In earthly life you shall look for and find your God and Creator, and as Father of My children .... the living creations having proceeded from Me .... I will also allow Myself to be found by anyone who is sincerely striving towards Me .... And once you have found Me, My love will constantly provide for you, you will be endowed with earthly and spiritual possessions .... the spiritual possessions, however, entail knowledge about all spiritual occurrences which preceded your existence as a human being, and about My loving effort to guide you into supreme perfection .... The spiritual possessions consist of a high level of realisation .... a light will be kindled in you which will shine far and wide and give you an insight again into regions which can only be made accessible to you in a spiritual way .... And anyone who has the immense grace of receiving such extensive knowledge shall also show his gratitude by passing on My gifts of grace, he shall only ever consider his fellow human beings' spiritual adversity who still live in complete ignorance because they are completely without love, and they should first of all encourage them into kind-hearted activity, so that they will become open-minded to the spiritual gifts you bring to them .... This is why your main task consists of repeatedly reminding people of My commandments of love, for a person only gains the pure truth through a life of love, only through a life of love do you acquire the understanding for deeper knowledge, and only love lets a person realise the reason and purpose of his earthly life, which he will then also genuinely try to reach ....

Amen

Who has the right to 'teach'? ....

B.D. 8758 from February 20th 1964, taken from Book No. 92

Extensive knowledge can be conveyed to you humans indirectly, yet you will only be able to comprehend this information according to your degree of love, for to be able to comprehend what you receive your spirit must be awakened. This requires a life of love .... in which you will be more or less lovingly active and appropriately receptive, thus learn to understand the knowledge accordingly. This is why spiritual knowledge can never be academically conveyed to people but the degree of realisation depends on each individual person's willingness to love, for the ability to love is inherent in everyone. If spiritual knowledge is therefore directly imparted to a person he will have reached the required degree which enables him to understand what he receives, for this is the prerequisite so that he can work as a teacher, for which I educate him Myself through My direct Word ....

For this reason you humans can accept his explanations without hesitation, for as My vessel .... as a recipient of the divine ray of light and love .... he also has to be illuminated by this ray himself, no error can establish itself in such a vessel as it will be revealed and rejected by a person who just wants to serve by passing on the truth from Me .... Bear in mind that I always choose a vessel for the reception of the spiritual flow Myself, because I know who is capable of receiving the pure truth and defending it. And his intellect will certainly be able to recognise what is harmful to the pure truth and what he can advocate as a human being .... His task is and will remain to be a link between Me and those people who live their earthly lives without knowledge and yet would like to know the truth .... Mind you .... only people who sincerely desire it can be guided into truth ....

But not all can receive the truth from Me directly, for I make demands on the direct recipient of My Word which not everyone fulfils. If, however, a person desires the truth then it will be imparted to him by a mediator to whom I can convey it directly. The latter will always be able to give the right explanation .... since he .... as soon as he works for Me and My kingdom .... will at all times be taught by the spirit within him which is in constant contact with Me, even if he debates or teaches as 'just a human being' subjects concerning spiritual knowledge. For it would result in terrible confusion if he did not have this assurance that I protect him from error, because as a human being he would otherwise be defeated in debates with those who possess sharp reasoning power and a great oratorical gift .... but who support adverse opinions ....

A person whom I can instruct directly through the spirit is sanctioned as My servant and representative on earth and need not fear any argument, for his thinking will be guided by Me if he defends Me and My Word against his fellow human beings. This could not be otherwise either, for in a vessel chosen by Me there is no more room for error, hence he will resist accepting it from his fellow human beings, instead he will try to prove to them the error of their thinking and truly .... he has such extensive knowledge at his disposal that he will always emerge victorious from every such debate, always providing people genuinely want to know the truth .... This is why the direct transmission of My Word is a slow process of education for My servant .... I 'guide him' into knowledge which he will understand because it is offered to him in infinite wisdom and keeps deepening the extent of his realisation .... so that through the reception of My Word he gradually gains most profound knowledge and thereby develops into a teacher who is well suited to guide his fellow human beings into truth again. And, again, only those who desire truth themselves and endeavour to live a life of love will understand this knowledge, whilst unloving people will reject everything and solely rely on their intellect, which, however, is not eligible for spiritual knowledge. If only you humans would believe that I would like to speak to all of you Myself and indeed do so when you listen to My servants who bring you My Word conveyed to earth directly .... Then you would accept it without qualms and yet gain much, even if your way of life still leaves a lot to be desired, but time and again you would hear about the strength of love and also feel it when you do works of love ....

And then your understanding of spiritual knowledge would grow, it would make you very joyful and in due course become the purpose of your life, and then I would be able to speak to you Myself because you would consciously open your heart to Me and invite Me in .... Then I could take Communion with you and you with Me .... I could offer you the bread of life directly and give to your soul food and drink, and you would be fulfilling the purpose of your life on earth ....

Amen

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

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

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

Information about God's plan of Salvation ....

B.D. 8760 from February 22nd 1964, taken from Book No. 92

I want you to gain a little insight into My eternal plan of Salvation, and therefore I Am trying to inform you of it in relation to your degree of maturity. I aim to impart this knowledge to you through My spirit so that you will live in complete truth and you can also be certain of this truth yourselves. For only by way of the spirit is it possible to convey the pure truth to you. You shall know about all things so that you will be able to refute misguided teachings which hinder your return to Me, which thus shall be achieved through My plan of Salvation one day. You shall know where you came from and what caused your apostasy from Me .... You shall know about the fate you prepared for yourselves through your apostasy from Me. And you shall know the fact that and the reason why I consequently prepared a plan to ensure your gradual path of return to Me .... You shall also be informed about this plan, because only then will you understand your human existence on earth and live accordingly ....

You will learn to recognise and love the One Who brought the entire creation into existence for the sake of your beatitude, Who used His might with infinite love and wisdom to bring creations of the most marvellous kind to life, which all correspond to their specific purpose and only serve to accommodate the once-fallen spiritual substance in order to bring it to final maturity one day .... so that one day it will return to Me, Who has been the origin of its existence and Who will be eternally connected with My created beings because I love them ....

You humans must know of My infinite love since this is the explanation for everything, or I could have destroyed what I had created when it opposed Me .... But My love prevented Me from doing so, yet My love also wants to give joy to the created beings, because love cannot bestow anything but happiness. Therefore a return of what has fallen away from Me must inevitably take place, and the only objective of My eternal plan of Salvation is the final return of all fallen spirits. The fact that I now give you such detailed information is only due to the last days, which necessitate a final act of help for you humans. You should know what it is all about and that you do not have much time left to achieve this return to Me .... You should not spend your days thoughtlessly but try to establish a close relationship with Me in order to be guided through the chaos by Me, which will still befall humanity before the end, and for which you thus shall receive the truthful explanation.

If, however, you are kept in error, if you constantly hope for an earthly renaissance for everyone, for earthly progress, because you do not know the meaning and purpose of all events which concern you, your earthly life will have been futile for your soul, which is your real Self and does not cease to exist after the death of your body. And I would like to protect it from the fate which then awaits the soul. I would like to prepare you for a state of bliss because I love you, and therefore I repeatedly transmit the truth to earth which you need only accept in order to be saved from the terrible fate of new banishment into the creations of earth ....

Anyone who knows My eternal plan of Salvation already lives his earthly life with a certain amount of happiness, because he has recognised its meaning and purpose and thus lives consciously and always aspires to fulfil My will ....

But a person who is not familiar with this information does not know a purpose of existence either, and he will only accept worldly and never spiritual values, because the area of spirituality is completely unknown to him .... And then again, only a person who has already established a relationship with Me due to his loving actions will muster the understanding for My eternal plan of Salvation, for his spirit has already come alive, whereas the person without faith in Me will think and act unkindly and never be accessible for such knowledge .... Thus he goes through life in dense spiritual darkness and due to his blindness does not find the right way either.

But I want to offer all people the knowledge that they once originated from Me, that they voluntarily turned away from Me, plunged into the abyss and were helped by My love to ascend from this abyss again, because My love for all created beings is greater than great and this love will never change either .... And therefore I will not rest until I have regained what has fallen away from Me, until it voluntarily strives towards Me again .... For this purpose it passes through creation, which I once brought into existence for its return to Me .... Time and again I will impart this information to people who want to unite with Me again and want to know the truth about the cause, meaning and purpose of their existence on this earth .... And you will be instructed of it in all truthfulness, because only truth will set you free and lead you back to Me again ....

Amen

Caring house father ....

B.D. 8761 from February 23rd 1964, taken from Book No. 92

When I again and again admonish and encourage you to be eager servants in My vineyard, then I well know that your activity is urgent and is to suffer no delay. Because the time is limited, which still remains for you men until the end, and also the souls in the kingdom on the other side are still to have started their ascent up as far as possible, to not again be banished. And every man who still on earth starts the return to Me, every man who is pushed through you on the spiritual course, contributes again to the redemption of the souls in the hereafter, which were close to him, because these will always pursue the thoughts of men of earth, and that is why every work of redemption makes great waves for its part, and that is why I bless all who want to serve Me consciously .... You cannot use your time on earth more profitably than in service for Me and My kingdom, because through it you acquire rich treasures for eternity, while all earthly-worldly efforts again only earn you earthly goods, which are completely worthless for eternity, but which can also already lose their value in earth life, because you yourselves do not know about the day of your end and you must leave everything earthly behind, but can show correspondingly less in spiritual goods. But if you are urgently active for Me and My kingdom, then also your earthly life will be secured .... I tell you this again and again, yet I find little faith otherwise you would dedicate yourselves to Me with all your strength .... otherwise you would always put spiritual work before your earthly activity and could also create and achieve the latter without being burdened by it. I can still work everything, therefore also unusually on you, although this always happens within the framework of nature for the sake of men, who are not forced to faith. But to you, who serve Me voluntarily, I want to give you the most wonderful proofs of My work with you; I want to show you the fulfilment of My promises so clearly that truly deepest love and thankfulness fills you and you feel Me everywhere and at any time that I am present to you. But you must believe .... you must not doubt or anxiously ask yourselves how and whether you can survive earthly .... Everything is in My hand, and I want your undivided commitment for Me, because the greatest successes can depend on it and it is about every single soul for Me, which remains protected from a renewed course through creation. Because what you do out of love towards Me, that also carries its blessing in itself; it will again have an effect as love power, and the souls, which now can be addressed by Me Myself, will be touched by the love power and cannot escape its influence. Believe it that the degree of your love towards Me, the degree of your eagerness to work for Me and the joy to be able to serve Me is also decisive for the success with the souls of men. You should not carry out any work which burdens you but be deeply filled by the desire yourselves to carry out a great spiritual act of help which has an effect for eternity .... And the further you have penetrated spiritual knowledge yourselves the more fulfilled you will also be by your mission, and love will drive you to carry it out. And then you will also recognize yourselves the urgency of the vineyard work and be untiringly active. Always consider that the time is only still short, which still remains for you, and that truth is still to be brought to many erring souls, which I direct to earth and is to be spread with your help. This work has to be done voluntarily because all coercion reduces its effect. And therefore I can always only admonish you and woo you that you are eagerly active for Me, and I can only again and again assure you that I will already richly reward your work on earth and one day in the spiritual kingdom, but that you are not allowed to do it for the sake of reward, but out of love towards Me and towards the neighbour. But one thing I want to assure you that you need not fear any earthly disadvantage, even if you primarily do the work for Me, because I truly stand by My word, and I have given you the promise: "Seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, everything else will fall to you." And thus I will also provide for all your needs, and none of My servants on earth will need to starve but always receive what he needs for soul and body ...._>Amen

Spiritual connections? ....

B.D. 8762 from February 25th 1964, taken from Book No. 92

I can only ever tell you that you should let Me Myself speak to you, that you should only listen to Me Myself, and truly, you will not need to regret it, for everything you need to know will be conveyed to you, you will not need to walk along in darkness but bright light will illuminate the path, at the destination of which I Myself will receive you .... Therefore you should always turn directly to Me that I light the light for you; you should not expect it elsewhere. For light can only come forth from Me, Who is the light from eternity .... I certainly direct My flow of love light through countless light beings everywhere into infinity; it always has its origin in Me and therefore always remains the same light. But you know that there are also blinding lights, you know that these can certainly blind your eyes but also make them incapable for the right light, which gives off a gentle shine and still brightly illuminates everything, which will touch you beneficently, but does not flash glaringly before you and therefore weakens your eyes. And such dazzling lights are work of My adversary, who likewise makes use of people who are prepared to be active for him for the forwarding of his vessels .... People who want to cause confusion themselves, or also those who have the best intention but do not take the way directly to Me to have a light lit. You men must know that there are innumerable spirit beings, which still lack the light of knowledge themselves, but which seize every opportunity to establish connection with men on earth, and which disown them, which therefore seek to impart what they possess themselves, although it does not correspond to truth. Furthermore you must know that the spirit world is constantly in contact with you and according to your own degree of maturity you are also surrounded by spiritual beings, which now consider you through irradiation of their knowledge to your thoughts. Every thought has its start in the spiritual world, and it always touches you men according to your own maturity and your will and desire for truth. The process, which constantly takes place through thought activity of man, takes on certain forms when it happens consciously, when therefore men consciously establish the connection with the spiritual world and receive spiritual material from there, which then more or less corresponds to truth, because men stand in completely different stages of maturity and also purpose and aim of the conscious connection with the spirit world is different. But every opportunity is seized by the spirit beings because they want to make themselves heard. I have now equipped you men with free will, and this alone decides whether you are influenced positively or negatively by the beings of the spiritual kingdom, because according to your will the teaching spirit beings come to you, which can either bring light or put you into ever greater darkness. Because your free will determines your walk of life; it drives you or hinders you to work in love .... Your free will earnestly desires truth or is content with whatever spiritual good is offered to you .... Your free will earnestly strives towards Me or joins My opponent .... And therefore your free will also determines the teachers who seek to instruct you from the spiritual kingdom. But only beings of light are entitled to instruct you, and these are also guaranteed to impart pure truth to you, because they only pass on what they receive directly from Me. But how are you to recognize whether you are instructed by the world of light or by such beings, which themselves do not yet stand in truth? You must first take the way to Me, devote yourselves to Me completely and ask Me for supply of truth. And if I now give you an answer through My messengers of light from the spiritual kingdom, then you can be assured that I will first encourage you to make direct contact with Me Myself .... that I will enlighten you about 'the working of My spirit in the human being' .... and that I therefore give you a guarantee that you will then receive purest truth from Me, because My spirit cannot err .... Then I will certainly also work in you through messengers of light, that is, My ray of love-light will be passed through those high spiritual beings who are admitted for instruction, who pass on nothing but My strength of love, who radiate 'My word' to earth, which emanates directly from Me. Understand: People who sincerely desire the truth and intimately unite with Me can certainly also be instructed in accordance with the truth by spiritual means, because their purity guarantees it, yet these are such rare exceptions and yet they tempt fellow human beings to seek truth in the same way, and these take a great risk because they themselves cannot control the spirit world which expresses itself to them, because ignorant spirits also make themselves heard and therefore there is never the certainty of receiving pure truth .... But every being of light which receives the flow of love light from Me and passes it on will in turn try to influence the human being to establish an ever more intimate direct connection with Me and thus enable the 'working of the spirit'. It will enlighten the human being about the fact that truth emanates from Me alone and can also be received directly from Me .... For the being of light knows about all dangers of a spiritual contact with the spirit world, and it knows that the human being can rarely only meet the dangers on his own, because a completely pure, mature soul life of the human being is a prerequisite .... but such would also allow the process of direct transmission through My spirit, which is far more beneficial for himself and his followers. The average person's state of maturity is still too low for him to be able to guarantee the connection with the high world of light, and therefore the danger is too great that error will be represented as truth just because it originates from the 'spiritual kingdom', thus it was conveyed to people through mediums. A medium will also not be able to ward off an impure spirit which can easily slip in where earthly-directed desires or impure urges are still present in one of the participants of such circles which seek to make contact with the spiritual kingdom. Such a connection is and remains a danger for the souls of men, because only very rarely the sphere is so pure that no counter spirit finds access .... and then also pure truth can be imparted to men. But every such favourable opportunity is also taken by the beings of light and tried to make use of in the sense to make man understand the 'working of the spirit in man', so that then a reception of truth is guaranteed and a great blessing also grows out of it for fellowmen. But then it will also be understandable to you that there is only one truth, which alone starts from Me, Who is the eternal truth .... And I must emphasize this again and again that you can then also represent the absolute truth when I Myself am the origin of spiritual knowledge which comes or has come to you through My direct working in you .... but that you will never have the same certainty when you are taught in a different way, although even then partial truths come to you .... but there is just as great danger that you humans will be misled .... For My adversary is active on earth and also in the spiritual kingdom, and his aim is to increase spiritual darkness and to extinguish or dim all light .... But I am the light from eternity, and I will always radiate light into the darkness, so that you, My creatures, find the way, which leads back to Me and to eternal life ...._>Amen

Every human being can be addressed by God Himself ....

B.D. 8763 from February 26th 1964, taken from Book No. 92

My word will always mean refreshment of the soul for you; My word will fill you with light and power, and you will always recognize My word as a gift of favour of highest value, if it is just your will to come closer to Me, if your will is turned towards Me and you strive for the aim of union with Me. My address will always be for you a proof of My love towards you, and you will be able to go your earth way calmly and safely, you still know Me Myself as your guide at your side, Who will protect you at any time. Because you possess the proof of My presence through My word and therefore never need to fear to go into ruin. I protect you spiritually and earthly; I protect your soul from the abyss, from the fall into the deep, and I also guide you earthly through your earth life. For I am truly a good father Who loves His child and will help it in every adversity and distress. I only demand your living faith in Me to now also be able to prove Me, to make My presence credible to you through My address. But only there I can express Myself through My word, where a child shows Me right love, because My love can only announce itself to love. But then man will be able to receive wealth, which no earthly goods can outweigh; then he just still goes his earth life way to carry out a mission, to give away from his wealth to those who are poor and gladly receive his gifts. Whom I Myself can give abundantly with gifts of favour, he is to think of those who possess little and receive little, because they themselves establish no bond with Me .... And to advise them and to show them the right way is a work of mercy, which you are to do, you who are allowed to receive grace upon grace .... You, who can speak to Me Myself, who hear My word, which is truly the greatest gift of grace I can bestow upon My living creations on earth. You should and can always work in love if you take care of people who are still distant from Me, who have not yet grasped the true meaning of their human existence .... who live well on earth but are spiritually dead because they have no bond whatsoever with Me and the spiritual kingdom .... who live without love otherwise they would already be closer to Me because love establishes the bond with Me .... All people must be addressed by Me, all people must hear the 'word of God' .... And if they voluntarily open themselves to this word, no matter where it is offered to them, then it will also touch their hearts and they will feel addressed by Me .... And that is why the opportunity is to be offered to men to hear My address through you, whom I can address directly, because this My word has the greatest power effect when a human heart lets itself be touched by it. Because the free will of man is the prerequisite for this, because I use no compulsion to make Myself heard. A gift of favour is at the disposal of all of you, which truly secures the highest spiritual successes, because who just hears My word and seeks to live it out, he inevitably goes the way of return to Me, and he will reach his aim, because My love draws him, who lets himself be addressed by Me. But who rejects My word, he still stands in far distance from Me; he cannot hear the love sound of My voice; he has not yet given his love to Me, but he still belongs to My opponent, who also will not let go of him, before he turns his will towards Me. This one also spurns every gift of favour on My part because I approach man again and again and entice him to follow Me and to break away from My opponent. I also promise him help, but I do not force him .... He must carry out the release from My opponent in free will and will therefore truly receive power from Me, as soon as he just desires it. And he will always be able to draw strength from My word, because I also speak to him Myself as soon as he merely opens his heart, i.e. intimately unites with Me in thought, in prayer or through loving activity. For then he will prove that he is willing to return to Me, and then he will also receive every help so that he will reach his aim .... He will always have to let himself be addressed by Me, which happens at any time when he raises his thoughts to Me, feels small and weak and humbly turns to Me for help .... Then he has taken the path of return, then I can also give him the evidence of My presence, I can address him through the heart, and he will recognize My word as a gift of grace of greatest effect, and his soul will be saved for time and eternity ...._>Amen

God's ways ....

B.D. 8764 from February 27th 1964, taken from Book No. 92

The same truth can always only be offered to you from Me, therefore you must be careful when you come across contradictions and therefore the source of spiritual material is not to be sought with Me, which contradicts the word supplied to you from above. Again and again spiritual thought material will be supplied to you, and who receives My word directly, he will also be able to check it, so that he can refute, to limit the disaster, which again arises through spreading of error. Because My opponent is very eagerly at work in view of that that his time is soon over and that bright rays of light flash everywhere where the redemption of My opponent is already accomplished. And again and again he tries to increase the darkness; again and again he will spread error and seek to undermine truth. Countless helpers are at his disposal, all of whom try to have an effect on people and also have much success because they can always intervene where love is missing .... And this has grown cold among men .... That is why My opponent will be able to record far more success, exactly because the majority of men is without love and they increase his power, which he truly uses well .... And I can only invalidate his work with unusual supply of favour by Me directing My gifts of favour everywhere and also addressing men without love so that their hearts soften and they listen to what I want to say to them .... And just as he makes use of all possibilities to work against Me, so also I do not give it up until the end to woo people's souls; again and again I offer them My help when they are in great distress .... I seek to intervene in their thoughts when they are despondent and distressed through strokes of fate so that they take refuge in Me and appeal to Me for help, which I will then most certainly also grant them in order to reveal Myself to them that I am real and that I am a God of love Who always wants to help and can help. But the work of My opponent especially aims at still strengthening the spiritual darkness of men and to present erroneous teachings to them. And he will often enough find approval, why I therefore counteract insofar that I direct truth to earth and give My servants the opportunity to take action against error, to enlighten fellowmen and to bring My word to them, which is the best protection against the enemy of souls, against him, who wants to pull men into the abyss, if they do not earnestly defend themselves against him. And I know it where men still walk in error and would still be open for truth when it is offered to them .... I know it who is grateful for every spiritual enlightenment, who occupies himself in thought with spiritual questions and wants to have answer .... And I Myself will convey the truth to all of them through you, My servants on earth, who are to receive it directly from Me and pass it on. Because as soon as they are only serious about not being misled, they are also to experience My loving care that I prevent the opponent's influence that his lying thought material does not take hold in that man who is not yet completely addicted to him. But the night becomes darker and darker, which lowers itself over earth, and only isolated lights flash up .... But these illuminate the way, which men are to go, and guaranteed they also find out and step into the light of day, and then all danger is over. For anyone who walks in the light can no longer lose his way, he will be able to see and avoid every obstacle, and he will now also no longer go through earthly life without a guide .... But these have been sent to him by Myself so that the human being will safely find his way home to his father's house. Only one thing must not be disregarded, that the human being leads a life of love .... For love alone is the light which shines brightly on the path of earthly life. Without love man voluntarily goes into the area of My opponent, or also: Without love he does not find out of his area. Love is everything, and every man can practice love, because he has the divine spark of love in himself, which he just needs to ignite .... Therefore no man is incapable of love activity, but whether he is willing to love, that determines his success or failure of his earth life. And you can also only experience this when truth is conveyed to you, when you know what your purpose of earthly life is, when you are therefore truthfully instructed about it, for which I will again and again take care, so that no man can say that it was impossible for him to go the right way and to return to Me .... It is always only up to the will of the individual, and I also seek to change this through strokes of fate of all kinds, which are only ever to have the success to direct the thoughts of man towards Me, so that he seeks help with Me, which he then will certainly also experience ...._>Amen

Connection with the world beyond a guarantee for truth? ....

B.D. 8765 from February 28th 1964, taken from Book No. 92

I will always bless every start which is undertaken with the purest intention to serve Me, to come closer to Me. I know about all motives which cause a person to establish ties with the spiritual world .... I know whether it is only curiosity about hidden things or real desire to know truth which drives a person to try to gain insight into the spiritual kingdom, and accordingly I will comply with his desire .... I will smooth the path for the truth-seeker and also let him come into possession of the truth, but I will also not prevent it if worldly desire for knowledge earns him disappointment, if he is erroneously taught by spiritual beings, because these can approach every person who gives them the right to do so through his own attitude towards truth .... As your desire is, so it will happen to you, because you are completely free in your thinking and wanting, but you are also to use this freedom right. And so it should be said to you again and again that you should only earnestly desire truth in order to also be allowed to take possession of it, but that it cannot be given to you if you do not desire it .... For the imparting of truth from Me is a gift of grace which has to be valued and requires the will to accept it. But the desire for truth is only little to be found with men, therefore I will help everyone to reach truth, who is only driven by the desire for it, even if he goes a wrong way, if he turns to unknown powers and asks them for enlightenment. Then only those forces will approach the sincere seeker who can meet his desire .... which have been instructed by Me to pass on truth which they receive from Me directly .... If only you humans would believe that the desire for truth is also the guarantee for its reception. And whether you then also go wrong ways, you will be led on the right way, and I Myself will always see to it that you are not misled, you who just desire to be instructed in pure truth. But as long as people are still attached to the earthly world they are more or less indifferent to truth, then they will certainly also occasionally want to know something more detailed about areas still unknown to them .... of the spiritual world .... But they lack the serious will to only attain pure truth, and that is why spiritual powers can also approach them, which teach them mentally wrongly; man himself will therefore draw wrong conclusions; his thinking will not be able to be directed by Me Myself through his spirit, because he is not serious enough about standing in truth. But as soon as a man makes an effort to lead a love life, also the desire for truth will awaken and become greater all the time, and then he can also accept his thinking as right with certainty; he will have the conviction in his heart, because love has already kindled a light in him and because his thinking can be enlightened. And so love and desire for truth irrevocably belong together to come into its possession, but then man is to be called rich, although they are no earthly goods, which he possesses, but spiritual goods outweigh all earthly wealth, because this is invalid with the moment of death and remains behind on earth, while spiritual goods follow man into eternity, the soul can now work with this spiritual goods, increases it constantly and can never ever lose it. Man is to be called exceedingly rich, who possesses knowledge about himself, his start / beginning and his aim, his earth life purpose and his connection with Me as his God and creator from eternity .... This knowledge cannot be replaced by anything because it is a divine knowledge, a spiritual wealth, which is everlasting. And it is always just a matter of man turning to spiritual teachers, that he does not rate his intellect so highly that it could fathom areas inaccessible to him .... For then he will never gain correct, truthful knowledge, whereas the spiritual teachers are always willing to give people correct knowledge as long as they fulfil the prerequisites: a profound desire for truth and a life of love which allows the beings to take care of them and, as mediators, to bring them the truth from Me. And then it can happen in the most diverse way .... But it should always be considered that the human being has to protect himself against the influence of immature beings, which is often difficult when he tries to enter spiritual areas together with other people and can never vouch for their spiritual maturity .... And that is why he is to establish the direct union with Me and bring the spirit in him to awakening (awakening) that I now can express Myself through the spirit. Then he can be sure that no error will come to him, while he does not have this guarantee, because immature spirits can always force their way in, where the possibility of slipping in is given, (where the possibility of slipping in is given, because immature spirits can always force their way in,) through immaturity, mistakes and weaknesses of the fellowmen, who join such a circle, through which now the traffic with the spirit world is to take place. I will protect every man earnestly desiring truth from error, but as soon as he associates with such men, who are not completely of the same spirit and will as he, he cannot guarantee to rely on pure truth, because also these draw a following to themselves, but which no longer stands in truth and therefore also cannot hand out any. You must always know that I cannot violate My law of eternal order; you must know that certain conditions must always be fulfilled to allow My direct work on you .... and that I will not deviate from My law of eternal order either, otherwise I could be called impermanent, thus not perfect. But of this every man can also be sure that pure truth is accessible to him, because every man has My divine spirit spark in him, which is in constant connection with Me and to which I also can always supply pure truth. Therefore unite with Me, and I Myself will introduce you to all truth ...._>Amen

Priority of vineyard work ....

B.D. 8766 from February 29th 1964, taken from Book No. 92

The time of the end demands that the vineyard work is carried out as a matter of priority, and that is why I Myself also want to smooth all ways for you; I want to help you in every way, so that still much spiritual material can be supplied to men, which corresponds to full truth. Because error rules the world, and truth is only recognized by few, who are serious to know about the area, which is inaccessible to human intellect. But I give you knowledge about it and only make it dependent on you yourselves whether you reach this knowledge. I only demand your earnest desire for truth to then also be able to convey it to you. And so I have to emphasize again and again that people form completely erroneous ideas, be it of Me Myself, Whose nature is certainly unfathomable to them, but it is also presented to people in a completely distorted way .... be it of My will, which is to determine their earthly way of life .... be it of My church, which I Myself founded on earth .... be it of the work of redemption of Jesus Christ or also of all other spiritual connections .... Men walk along in completely wrong thinking, and only in few the desire rises to learn the truth about all this. But men also cannot fulfil their purpose of earth life when they do not know about it and about the cause of their being man. But I constantly seek to supply men with this knowledge, and it can be mentally given to every man, who just desires such. I awaken servants for Me on earth, who are active according to My instructions, by them receiving truth from Me Myself and then passing it on to their fellowmen; I smooth all ways; I lead men to each other; I direct their conversations to spiritual area; I create everywhere possibilities that truth can be brought and received .... But I force no man to accept it, otherwise truly the spiritual blindness of men would have been remedied long ago, however the purpose of earth life could not be fulfilled that man spiritualizes himself and can join Me .... I must leave freedom of will to all and therefore also cannot prevent that darkness becomes stronger and stronger, that men fall more and more into error and therefore into My opponent and avoid truth .... thus distance themselves ever further from Me, Who is the eternal truth .... Only a few people can be found whose inner desire is for Me and the truth, and to them I send precious possessions .... But I cannot determine My servants either; they, too, must be active for Me of their own free will, and depending on their degree of love they will also be willing to serve, and the success of those who want to come into possession of the truth will be accordingly .... And I can only ever encourage My servants to be eagerly active, I can only ever spur them on to make use of every day and every hour where opportunity presents itself to them to be active for Me .... Because time passes quickly, and only the supply of pure truth still promises a success that men break away from error and earnestly seek the salvation of their souls. And what can happen from My side to open the hearts of men for the reception of truth out of Me, that will certainly still happen, but can always only be worked within the framework of the natural, because every miracle would be compelling to believe and therefore worthless for the soul of man. But mankind is in great spiritual trouble as long as it walks along in dense darkness, as long as it lives in error. And that is why truth must still be guided everywhere where it is not rejected, and it will always have a beneficial effect on the souls of men, which can only mature through truth alone, because truth starts from Me and also again leads back to Me, but the return to Me is purpose and aim of earth life as man. And that is why again and again the order goes out to you, My servants on earth, not to slacken in your activity as servants in My vineyard, because time demands always more eager activity for Me and My kingdom, which for you consists of carrying truth out into the world, to do everything what serves the spreading of My word, to miss no day and to always only think of the great trouble, which can only be remedied by the supply of pure truth. I well know Myself who is still to be addressed by Me, but as I cannot work unusually because of the freedom of will of man, I need you as mediators, who work earthly in all naturalness and still can offer a heavenly gift to fellowmen, which they can only receive from Me Myself. And you are therefore not allowed to become tired in your work for Me and My kingdom; you are to think of the many unhappy souls, which go towards the abyss, because they do not see the way in darkness, which leads to Me, and you are to want to help them. Then also their hearts will be open, because love is a power, which also reduces resistance, and then man is already won, if he gives you his ear and I Myself can then address him .... There is not much time left for all of you. But if the short time is still used extensively then the souls can be rescued, and you have accomplished a great work of redemption on these souls, which thank you for it eternally, after all it is only about to protect the souls from the lot of new banishment, which all have to expect, who can no longer be won for truth, who are followers of the adversary and will still remain for a very long time ...._>Amen

God's immeasurable greatness and power ....

B.D. 8767 from March 1st 1964, taken from Book No. 92

Only a tiny fraction of My creation is apparent to you, even if you look at the starry firmament as far as your eye can reach .... The whole of infinity is filled with My creations, and from this you can also deduce the immense number of spiritual beings by which all these creations are inhabited, which for the time being are formed spiritual themselves and harbour further (higher) developed spiritual which is to reach maturity .... It is an immeasurably great army of spiritual beings .... once fallen original spirits .... bound in these creations for the purpose of returning to its origin .... to Me .... And from this you will also have to conclude on endless long times, which you can name with the word 'eternities', which are necessary to spiritualize everything that once fell, to free it from hard matter and to let it become again what it was in the beginning. And then you will also imagine the eternal deity differently, for My greatness and might are immeasurable .... Everything is unlimited what can be brought into connection with Me, be it My being, be it My rule and work in infinity .... And then it will seem quite incomprehensible to you that I bend down to every one of My created beings and speak to it .... But as men you also cannot form an idea of My being, which surpasses everything imaginable to you, which cannot be brought into a form, to which the whole of infinity is subordinate, which it rules with its will and its power .... For your thinking is limited and cannot grasp the unlimited until you yourselves have reached a degree of perfection which enables you to penetrate deeper into the greatest mystery of the being of your God and creator. Eternities, then, the creations in the universe have already existed, and eternities will still pass until all is spiritualized .... For there is neither time nor space for Me .... I control all infinity, and for Me past, present and future are one .... But I find My bliss in constantly creating and radiating My power into infinity, and I create nothing without letting My love and wisdom have an effect, and therefore all creations are expedient, except that you humans cannot be given full enlightenment about this, for you can only grasp that which exists for your circle of vision .... And also these enlightenments exceed your capacity of comprehension as long as you are not yet perfected. The immense worlds of which you possess no knowledge whatsoever you will only be able to behold when you yourselves stand in the spiritual kingdom in a high degree of light .... For then they, too, will belong to the happiness which awaits you, because they are creations of an inconceivable kind which you will then be allowed to behold, because you will be able to see spiritually and then also recognize their purpose .... I am the greatest and most perfect being, Which remains eternally inaccessible to you because the created beings could not bear My elemental power .... And yet I am your most loving father Who seeks to make every single creature abundantly happy and has all joys and glories ready for it in the spiritual kingdom .... But since I am supremely perfect the created being must also reach a degree of perfection in order to now be able to be blissfully happy in intimate union with Me .... And this perfection can only be achieved through the being's change back to love, which once was its original being, for it emanated My love as an independent being, and thus in its original substance it was precisely My emanated strength of love .... And it has to reshape its nature, which was wrong in free will, back into love, then it will also be allowed to enjoy all glories which I have prepared for all My children .... And therein consists My bliss to again guide back all beings once fallen away from Me, to pursue them with My love until they no longer offer resistance and completely surrender to Me and My love. And all My creations in infinity serve this last purpose; all celestial bodies with all their inhabitants have their special assignment, and all serve the creaturely to the last perfection. And all created things must know about their God and creator as soon as they stand in the stage of I-consciousness. And it must strive in free will towards this its God and creator to once establish the union with Him, Who then guarantees him highest happiness. To you men I send this knowledge to give you just a small insight into the endless creation, which is only for you .... for the once fallen original spirits .... and which only allowed My infinite love to arise for you, so that it will be the path for you to return to Me again, from Whom you once originated in all perfection. I only want to light a small light for you who I am and what immeasurable love has moved Me to let creation come into being .... and that I descend from the highest height to you, My living creations, in order to address you Myself and to reveal My nature to you, as far as you are able to grasp it, and that I constantly send you My love which is always and forever meant for you and which will also one day reach you that you voluntarily reciprocate it and have therefore now completed your transformation into your original being .... And only then will you recognize My love, wisdom and power, because you will be able to survey the whole of creation and be immeasurably happy, because the glories will have no end, which I have prepared for those who give Me their love ...._>Amen

No work of creation is pointless or purposeless ....

B.D. 8768 from March 2nd 1964, taken from Book No. 92

There is nothing in material creation what would be senseless and purposeless, even when you men cannot recognize the purpose. Everything once came into being to serve spiritual for ascent development, and this ascent development consists in serving, even so in bound will, in a state of compulsion, where everything takes place according to divine natural law. The serving purpose is not always apparent to man, and still every work of creation has come out of the hands of God, and in unsurpassable wisdom a function is assigned to it, which sometimes only concerns the spiritual itself, which is bound in those creations, that it keeps that spiritual "bound" to break its resistance, to cause it to strive for freedom. Because the spiritual, which is to develop upwards, is through its resistance against God-hardened spiritual, which has to give up its resistance, if it is to progress in its development. And such works of creation remain unchanged in their form through endless times, and still they fulfil a purpose .... that they enclose spiritual, and that this spiritual is already in (out of) the deepest depth and starts its course of development upwards in a work of creation. Because there is still endless much hardened spiritual substance, which has not yet started the way, which could not yet be enclosed by matter, because its resistance is still so strong that it could not yet become matter, that it did not let itself be enclosed by the love of God and still a long time can pass until also this spiritual once starts the way through the creations. But what you men see in creation, everything has a serving purpose, but which you men can prevent through your will, if you do not use the individual works of creation purposefully, if you hinder them through this at serving, which alone brings about their ascent development. The development and continuation of many creations is secured by precisely those works of creation which are able to fulfil their serving purpose. Because creation not only serves man but it secures its own existence because one work has come into being for the other and this is considered and determined in all love and wisdom by God, who lets nothing come into being without meaning and purpose because this contradicts His love and wisdom .... But whether you recognize every purpose is questionable as long as you yourselves as man still stand in a lower degree of maturity; but the realization will come to you with increasing maturity .... And only then the miracle of creation will touch you more and more, because then things will become clear to you, which you are hardly able to grasp, because they prove to you an infinitely powerful, loving and wise creator, Who has set Himself an aim and also surely reaches this aim. And so you humans should also make the right use of everything creation offers you. You should make use of its services, whatever it may be, for both hard matter .... the world of rocks, as well as the world of plants and animals, was created for you, that you always use it in the right way .... Every dissolving of the material outer form is a step further for the development of the spiritual bound in form. However, you should not unlawfully dissolve forms whose time is not yet fulfilled, for which you are certainly given the right assessment. You are not to make anything prematurely incapable of serving you, you are to adapt yourselves to the laws of nature, otherwise you yourselves are the sufferers .... Because as soon as spiritual becomes free prematurely, its influence on you men is a harmful one, because the immature spiritual takes revenge on men, who unlawfully interrupted its process of maturation. And this danger exists when man is too much attached to matter and he seeks to draw earthly benefit and he disregards the laws of nature. Everything must always take place in lawful order, then also an ascent development of everything is secured, what is still bound in creation as well as also in man himself and is once to receive its freedom. But divine order is mostly overturned, and that is why also spiritual development remains behind and requires a violent regulation, which also always then takes place when the danger exists that nothing is anymore used according to divine order and that the serving purpose is denied to the spiritual in every form .... Because nothing is in creation what would not have to fulfil a purpose; every work of creation serves the building up and the preservation of earth, and as long as earthly creations arise, the process of development is also not yet finished, which has the final return of the once fallen spiritual as its aim. And eternities will still pass; again and again new creations will arise, because still innumerable many original spirits wait for their change into matter, for their course through this matter and for their final return to their start from eternity .... But everything goes on in lawful order, and so also everything has an unfavourable effect what is contrary to this law of eternal order .... But once the aim will be reached, once everything will again be spiritualized, and once also all creations will only be of spiritual kind, which only still arise for endless happiness of the beings, because these now constantly create and work for their own happiness ...._>Amen

Which knowledge is 'patchwork'? ....

B.D. 8769 from March 3rd 1964, taken from Book No. 92

You who ought to stand up for Me and My Word shall also be properly instructed yourselves, you shall learn everything that is needed in order to be able to teach and answer every question and objection .... And this is not 'patchwork' knowledge even if it cannot be offered to you in great detail because you are unable to grasp the most profound wisdoms, yet you will be guided into all correlations and enlightened time and again where you are not fully informed .... Yet always with the reservation that I give to you what you really need but that I also know which knowledge to withhold from you as it serves no meaning and purpose for your earthly existence. You humans gladly use empty phrases when you lack something yourselves rather than making the effort of appealing to Me for what you are missing. Thus you often use the phrase 'Your knowledge is patchy ....' which is quite true if you look at humankind in general and even at those who, although they are endowed with a sharp intellect, only use it to try solving earthly problems. For they will still lack a lot of knowledge as long as they are not taught by the spirit within themselves .... but where it concerns the transmission of spiritual knowledge and therefore those who are commissioned by Me to spread the truth they are sure to be well prepared and educated for their mission by Me, and then I will also convey to them what they will need for their office. And then your objection is truly unjustified, for they will be able to answer all your questions unless you defend an error claiming to have been taught by Me as well. In that case, however, I will certainly intervene and give you the right explanation for there is nothing you cannot ask Me to clarify for you ....

For I want you humans to know the truth, and therefore I will also convey irrefutable spiritual knowledge to those who shall work for Me and spread the truth. The objection that the Book of Books does not contain this or that of the knowledge I present to you is only insofar justified as that it cannot contain everything since it is accessible to all people but not everyone is receptive or open to more profound truths, for each individual person's way of life determines to what extent he will understand the contents of the Scriptures. And it will always be the case that the willing and more mature human being draws from the Scriptures what another person fails to notice due to his unawakened spirit. And since the Book of the Fathers no longer means what it should to people .... My Word .... I once again make Myself heard by those who allow My working in them and thus also enlighten them about issues which are not mentioned in this very book but which everyone could learn if he completely accepted My will in accordance with the Scriptures and lived a life of love. This is why your knowledge will remain 'patchwork' as long as you ignore the latter, just as you are only readers and not doers of My Word. Until then you will also have to be content with partial knowledge which you, however, can always increase if you seriously strive to do so.

For My part you should live in the light and escape the darkness, but light is truthful knowledge and whatever I give I give without restriction, depending on your maturity and willingness to receive .... And if I already give this assurance to everyone who just fulfils My will and lives a life of love, then I will convey even more extensive knowledge to someone who shall teach his fellow human beings on My instruction, whom I thus educate for his teaching work Myself. For a teacher must be able to answer every question he is asked, he must have an explanation for everything and will also be always correctly guided in his thinking .... or he would be unable to work on My instruction as My representative on earth who teaches people on My behalf yet is always using My spiritual information. For as soon as he teaches he no longer speaks himself but uses My Words which I put into his mouth. And I Myself can truly not be described as being ignorant, hence My representative on earth must also receive his wisdom from Me as soon as He speaks on My behalf .... instead of Myself .... This alone determines who should be acknowledged as My true representative on earth .... You will soon be able to see through this, for wherever profound wisdom is evident the knowledge can only have been imparted to him through My spirit. But where My spirit works so that I can speak to a person directly it also guarantees that missional work shall be done, for which I have chosen My servant Myself and whom I will also place into a position of being able to fulfil his mission. And that is where you will always be able to find an explanation, for if you acknowledge him as My representative on earth you approach Me directly and I can teach you Myself as far as you are receptive to My explanations ....

Amen

The process of creation has taken eternities ....

B.D. 8770 from March 4th 1964, taken from Book No. 92

The process of creation was not the work of a moment, even though it truly would have been within My power .... but then creation would have missed its purpose, since it was intended to ensure a gradual development from the abyss to the pinnacle and therefore continued for an infinitely long time. Hence you humans should understand that the description in the Scriptures, in the Book of the Fathers, only informs you of this act of creation in a pictorial manner, because people who still lack deeper awareness would be unable to understand the true process, and it is only intended to teach them that creation once came forth from My hand, that it was and is the work of My will and My might ....

Anyone who wants to delve deeper will also come to a more profound understanding. At first it is only necessary to know of a Power Which brought everything into existence the human being can see around himself, as well as the creations he is unable to see. Before the far-reaching correlations can be explained to him he has to know about the original beginning of what My strength of love emanated as independent beings .... And he has to know about these beings' apostasy from Me and the immense original sin with which the beings were then burdened. Only then can the emergence of creation and the process of return through creation be explained to him. But anyone with an unenlightened spirit will hold on to the letter and will never clearly understand it since he is not open to instructions by spiritually enlightened people either.

Every work of creation required an infinitely long time of preliminary development which, however, always related to the spiritual substance which should progress within a work of creation .... It had fallen so low that it also needed an endless length of time in order to ascend again within the various kinds of creations .... from the most primitive to the most beautifully formed works brought into existence by My will in order to shelter the spiritual substance and enable its path of ascent .... And therefore the creation work Earth, too, was, in the beginning, a mere cluster of utterly immature spirits whose substances gradually condensed to form a mass which could not yet be described as hard matter but had to be understood as basic elements, without form but with tremendous effect of strength, for they contained totally uncontrolled spiritual substances. Yet My wisdom distributed everything in the right measure and used every element for My creative work, so that separate forms arose which had to comply with their destined purpose; and thus began the slow construction of the visible works of creation which continued for an endless time until the earth started to show vegetation and increasingly more mature spiritual substances were able to occupy those creations to travel the path of higher development in this plant world. Then followed the first living beings .... creations, which could already perform a certain, albeit very small, task imposed on them by natural law.

And, again, an infinitely long time of development passed from these minute living beings to the world of animals which included ever larger and stronger forms, in which many spiritual substances had already come together and united in order to keep fulfilling the task of cultivating the earth for the final crowning work of divine creation .... for the human being .... who had to pass through all those preliminary stages and whose soul now is the composition of all those tiny particles which belonged to a once fallen original spirit and which, in a dissolved state, had to go through all works of creation in order to gradually evolve again in this way.

Consequently, the human being could not have been created at the time of 'creating the world' .... just as all works of creation have never been My instant work, precisely because the slow advancement had to proceed first or the whole of the creation work would have been meaningless and without purpose, for it did not come into being for My sake but for the sake of My fallen living creations and thus was also meant to fulfil the purpose of leading the fallen spirits back to Me again. And yet, every work of creation was My externalised thought which was always implemented when the spiritual substance had reached a certain degree of maturity and required a new form in order to continue its path of development. And thus different creations arose periodically. The plant world only became necessary when the world of rocks released the spiritual substance which then required a new and lighter form .... And likewise small and minute living creations arose after the creation of the plant world .... And only I knew when one was necessary for the other, and I also knew how much time the larger living creations, the animals up to the Pre-Adamites, would need to mature their embodied soul-substances. Hence I also knew when the time had come that the individual tiny particles of the spiritual being had merged again in order to embody itself as 'soul' in the last form. Then I externalised a work of creation again .... the human being, whose external shape is so skilfully created that a maturing to final perfection will be possible. And this creation of the human being also occurred an infinitely long time ago, which you humans cannot establish since your concept of time is still limited, but My work of return has already lasted for an eternity. And although eternities had passed before the appearance of the human being, before the earth with all its works of creation was ready for the human being to take possession of it for the purpose of his final maturing, this point in time is also very remote, because time and again periodical immense upheavals and changes occur on earth which make it impossible to calculate the duration of time since the beginning of earth and of the human being.

But this is certain, you humans will only be able to gain a real insight into My eternal plan of Salvation when you have attained the appropriate degree of enlightenment yourselves .... For until then you will be intellectually incapable to envision the length of time for which the concept of 'eternities' could be applied .... And for as long as your spirit is still unenlightened it has to be explained to you in an illustrative manner .... Only an awakened spirit will be able to gain deeper insight, yet ultimate wisdom will only become explicable when it enters the kingdom of light where everything can be revealed because everything will then also be comprehensible ....

Amen

Reason for the human being's free will ....

B.D. 8771 from March 5th 1964, taken from Book No. 92

And thus you are in the human stage where you can freely use your will again .... One day you will realise what this means, when you are enlightened, when you can look back on the infinitely long time you lived on earth in the state of compulsion where you, constrained within all kinds of creation, had to act according to divine natural law .... which you were unable to oppose. But now .... as a human being .... your free will, which is a sign of the divine being you once were, is returned to you, and as humans you also shelter the divine spiritual spark in you, which inextricably connects you with the fire of divine love .... since it is and will remain forever inseparable from the Father-Spirit of eternity. This free will is the attribute of a divine being, for that which once emerged from God had been perfect, and free will is part of perfection .... Time and again you humans must be informed of the correlations, you must know that free will cannot be denied and why this is so .... furthermore, you must also know that no person or his soul could be held to account if he did not possess free will .... You must know that all power is truly at God's disposal in order to instantly place all beings into a state of the highest perfection but that these beings would only ever be the 'works' of His power and never the 'children' of His love .... However, the latter can only voluntarily shape themselves into these and God's happiness consists of the fact that beings voluntarily strive for this perfection, that they strive towards Him of their own free will, that they are able to distance themselves and stay away from Him and yet try to reach Him as a final goal. For free will is always determined by love, regardless of whether it is positively or negatively inclined, for the love is correspondingly positive .... if God is its goal, or negative .... if it applies to the adversary, if the love is mere selfishness which only strives for its own advantages .... whereas positive love is divine and only ever wants to give and please. And this is determined by free will, hence only free will can be responsible. If the human being's free will were disputed much would seem to be pointless, it would also distort the portrayal of the eternal God and Creator, because every imperfection, every adversity, people's spiritual low level and their anti-divine behaviour would also have to be regarded as wanted by God and no-one would ever be able to recognise a God of love .... Every calamity in the world could only ever be blamed on the Creator Himself if the human being's free will had not been the cause of it ....

Consider that, in that case, God Himself would contravene His law of order, for only one can be held responsible for everything .... God or His living creation, the human being, but God can only work in supreme perfection and nothing will infringe against His law of order. The human being, on the other hand, can leave this order by virtue of his free will because .... as long as he still lives on earth as a human being .... he is still imperfect and only lives on earth for the purpose of adapting himself to the lawful order again, which he once voluntarily revoked and should become perfect again, as he was in the beginning. Every person should seriously deliberate on the fact that the world would not be as it is now at the time of the end if he had no free will .... Then only God's will would be valid, and this truly would not cause disorder everywhere .... which, however, is the case. Consequently, God would have to be held responsible for everything that happens in the world .... This is such an absurd idea that, after some deliberation, a person could in fact himself gain the inner conviction that he has free will. Again and again it has to be emphasised that it only concerns the innermost will and not the implementation of what the person wants .... The latter can certainly be prevented by a Higher Power or by his fellow human beings, nevertheless, the will remains accountable, no matter what effect it takes. For even an evil deed voluntarily accomplished by a person can have a favourable effect on another person as a result of My countermeasure, nevertheless, he must justify himself for his ill will, because it is free .... As long as you humans dispute free will you are not aware of your origin or you don't recognise God as the supremely perfect Being Who brought you into life. A being created without free will would be imperfectly fashioned; it would only be a lifeless work, since only the thinking free will makes it a being .... While the being is constrained in the works of creation and subject to natural laws it is also free of all responsibility because it cannot act against God's will .... In the human state, however, it can act, think and want at its own discretion and thus must therefore justify itself, because its actual purpose of life is to turn its free will in the right direction, that is, towards God, from Whom it had once turned away. It is not possible for the human being to shake off his responsibility, he cannot encumber someone else with it, he must bear the consequences of his will, and therefore his will also determines the fate of his soul in eternity .... It can completely liberate itself from every shackle, but also harden its shackles again and fall back into the abyss .... But at no time ever will God's will determine its state after its physical death, instead, the human being creates his own fate because he has free will ....

The early death of children ....

B.D. 8772 from March 7th 1964, taken from Book No. 92

And I will provide you with strength because I need your cooperation on earth which requires your free will .... I could certainly choose vessels for Myself and appoint them to work for Me, but this does not correspond to My law of eternal order, because free will alone must and can be decisive, which then will also offer the guarantee of success. People are certainly willing to work for Me, yet they often lack the qualifications to carry out a redeeming activity on earth ....

And thus I know who voluntarily wants to do this work and serve Me as a suitable vessel. And I will also know how to keep such a vessel alive and lead it through all adversities, especially when the human being is no longer filled with desire for the world but completely puts his earthly wishes aside for the sake of the spiritual work, which he will recognise as extremely important. And thus it will be possible to continue the vineyard work, and your endeavour will always be blessed by Me, after all, there is as yet much to explain to people who are willing to listen, who will contact Me themselves and ask questions to which I will reply through My servants on earth.

You are repeatedly told that I have many schoolhouses in My kingdom, that the whole universe contains creations all of which serve the maturing of the once fallen spirits .... And every work of creation has its own purpose, it will always serve the higher development of the beings whose state corresponds to the living conditions on this creation .... And thus souls, which have covered the process through the earthly creations, will also be able to embody themselves on other stars, due to certain tendencies which only I Am able to recognise, which assure their full maturity on other stars and can even result in those souls' incarnation as a human being on earth who can already be entrusted with a mission .... And this also explains the death of small children and babies whose souls would have been unable to cope with life on earth but who, on the other hand, cannot be described as still being in complete opposition to Me, so that I will provide them with a different opportunity for further maturing on one of the innumerable schoolhouses, which usually enable them to accomplish their task and provide the being with some maturity ....

In that case it is, in fact, not possible for these beings to achieve the childship to God, which is gained through an enduring earthly life, yet they will be able to achieve beatitude in the spiritual kingdom as well. It is also possible for them .... after having already achieved a high degree of light .... to descend to earth again for the purpose of a mission and then also acquire the childship to God. So many circumstances and tendencies play a part in the soul's embodiment as a human being, including the degree of maturity which it will have already reached in its preliminary stages and which can decline due to the body's weakness but shall not, if the soul embodies itself in the womb of a mother which is unsuitable for the soul's state, in which case the difficulties of maturing are greater and can result in complete failure.

Then I will release the soul from its external shell again and place it where its higher development will be easier and assured, because the soul is no longer blatantly in opposition to Me.

And thus there are many possibilities in order to help the once fallen spirits to return to Me .... Admittedly, the earth is the lowest and most wretched work of creation but it is able to yield the highest spiritual accomplishments if the being is willing to travel this earthly path .... and yet I know in advance whether free will or other reasons make it impossible for the soul to mature fully, and I will always helpfully intervene where the soul's helplessness requires it, which is unable to cope with its imposed fate and yet is not deliberately opposed to Me ....

You humans are incapable of judging this, yet everything is based on My love and wisdom, and thus you also have to accept that I have My reasons for the early death of children, for nothing happens without reason and purpose, and everything is just for the benefit of the spiritual beings which once distanced themselves from Me and shall return to Me again .... And I have infinitely many possibilities to reach My goal one day, and sooner or later you will also know everything yourselves and realise what motivates My reign and work. But I Am constantly concerned for the weak souls and will assist them in every way, for I also know a soul's degree of resistance, how far it has diminished and whether and how far it will still lessen, and accordingly I will place the soul where it can reach its goal fastest. Life on earth is indeed the only possibility to attain the childship to God, yet I also know that and to what extent a soul is at risk of losing its already attained level and slipping back again, in that case I will prevent it in the face of its only very low resistance to Me, which is unable to determine free will and the latter would not exclude a descent. Yet even before its incarnation as a human being the soul will be able to decide whether it wants to cover the earthly progress as a human being, and its will is complied with. And this also explains the future fate of violently killed children who are likewise offered the opportunity to complete their path of development on other heavenly bodies and also mature fully, although under different conditions.

But it is also possible for every soul .... if it seriously wants it .... to return to earth again for the purpose of achieving the childship to God, if it has attained a specific degree of light and voluntarily accepts a mission which places great demands on such a soul. You humans are unable to clearly understand everything, you will never fully comprehend My reign and activity, yet I know of innumerable ways in order to help My living creations to ascend, and I also know the course and outcome of every earthly life .... nevertheless, I will only intervene Myself and establish a change of an appalling course of events if a willing soul can thereby be helped .... which is only known to Me alone. Earthly life as a human being is difficult, and it requires effort and determination to bring it to spiritually successful completion .... I will always help the weak soul if it no longer strongly opposes Me .... but how I express My help has to be left up to My love and wisdom, yet it will always be My endeavour to help My living creations attain full maturity, and I will always use those means which will be successful for Me, since I long for My children and would let none fall into ruin which already strive towards Me, which I recognise and thus also work accordingly ....

Amen

God reveals Himself as the most perfect being ....

B.D. 8773 from March 8th 1964, taken from Book No. 92

Again and again you experience the proof of My presence when I speak to you and you hear this My speech, because you could not hear Me when I would not reveal Myself to you. But since I consider it urgently necessary that you take note of the being, to Which you owe your being, and since I also want that no wrong picture is developed for you about this being, I Myself announce Myself to you and prove My presence to you through this. Because it depends on the recognition of Myself whether you love Me, and that is why you are to first experience My being, Which is love in itself and Which wants to make you happy with Its love always and forever. I reveal Myself to you; I give you detailed knowledge of My rule and work, of My power and My wisdom; I want to present Myself to you as the most perfect being, so that you learn to love Me. I want to achieve nothing else through My revelations than that you give Me again the love, which you once felt for Me and were unspeakably happy through it. But now your life is no state of happiness and bliss, because you lack one thing .... because My love power no longer radiates through you, but which can only then radiate through you when you yourselves open your heart to Me in love. And to achieve the latter I impart knowledge to you, which could well stimulate you to give love to Me, because this knowledge is so powerful and extensive, and through it you learn to know your God and creator in His deep father love, which constantly wants to make you happy. You learn to recognize Me as the most perfect being, and you consciously strive for this most perfect being; you long for again the union with Me, which once existed, and I Myself can now also again draw you to Me and make you happy until all eternity. This is the purpose that I again and again reveal Myself to you men through the word .... that I address you, because you are without all knowledge, all knowledge, which corresponds to truth. And because then also your earth life is an idle run, if you do not purposefully strive for Me, but only live to the world and its pleasures. For the time being it is enough for Me that you believe convinced in a God, in a power, Which had created you. But only few people have this convinced faith because a life in love also belongs to it .... But formal faith does not drive men to seek the union with Me, living faith on the other hand already establishes the union with Me through thoughts, and man comes step by step closer to Me, because he always forms the union with Me more firmly through a life of love and I also no longer let him from Me, and then it is also possible to reveal Myself to him, mentally for the time being, until I can then speak to him and he will hear Me, although this process takes place in different ways but he will always recognize My word, be it spoken by My servants or contained in the scriptures .... The will to be addressed by Me always assures him of My word, and then he will be placed into bright knowledge, for I will also be able to instruct him through My spirit, so that it will become light in him and he will increase in knowledge and his love for Me will become ever more inflamed .... Then his earthly progress as a human being will not be in vain, then he will reach the aim .... he will find union with Me and be eternally happy ...._>Amen

The subordination of the will to the divine will makes man fit ....

B.D. 8774 from March 9th 1964, taken from Book No. 92

My will will always determine your earthly course of life as soon as you subordinate your will to Mine .... Then you will have entered My will, and all your thinking, wanting and acting will now correspond to My will, for you now carry My will within you and cannot want anything else, for I Myself will then be active in you. And so your will remains free and still subordinates itself to Me of its own accord, and then there can only be a spiritual ascent for you; then your earth life will earn you success, for the purpose of which you go through this earth valley. And then you will also obviously recognize that and how I Myself intervene in your life. You always keep up the union with Me, and everything what you undertake will also carry its blessing in it, because My will cooperates and I truly know it, what serves you to perfection. But you can also then let everything approach you with greatest calmness, because I Myself arrange it so as it comes, because I see spiritual successes for Me out of it. And so I will also always supply you with men who are to be informed of Me and My word; I will always give you the right teaching material when you are to enlighten those men, because your will, which now belongs to Me completely, allows this that I can use you as suitable servants in My vineyard, who always only carry out what their lord determines. And such work must be blessed; it must be of success, and that is why I still set great hope on you, you who want to serve Me consciously, that you prepare souls for Me, which I then can also address Myself and which I then also have won for ever. Once your will turned away from Me, and that was your apostasy from Me, your God and creator .... If you now unceremoniously turn your will to Me again, then the return is also already accomplished, then you have passed the earth life test, and then it is only still necessary that you help your soul to mature, that you let love in you flare up so brightly that all slags, which still prevent the soul the illumination of light, dissolve and you now can be completely radiated through by My love power. For this earth life is at your disposal, and possibilities are offered to you continuously where you can work in love. Use these and always remain connected to Me in thought, and truly, you will still be able to reach a degree of maturity in earth life, which secures you the entrance into the kingdom of light, because all resistance in you is broken, and you belong to Me again, as in the beginning. I do not demand much of you, but to be able to present you with unimagined glories when you enter the kingdom on the other side. I only demand of you that you turn towards Me, that your will again belongs to Me, that you voluntarily break away from My opponent, and I will certainly provide you with power that you reach your aim: the final union with Me. And where one has already reached it, there I also lead others, who are to take an example from him, who are stimulated to likewise unite with Me, because also their inner resistance against Me has already considerably diminished, and also these will slowly submit to My will, and the act of return has taken place .... For I now leave no-one from Me who has once turned his will towards Me. But one thing is necessary for this, that man recognizes Me in My nature .... For he will only ever strive for what seems desirable to him, and I will only then be desirable to him when he is truthfully informed about My perfect nature, when he knows that the being Who created him is love, wisdom and might and supremely perfect .... And this knowledge is to be supplied to all men. That is why I Myself convey it to earth and instruct you, My servants, to spread it again so that fellow human beings can take note of it and now also decide for themselves in favour of Me .... But the ways I know exactly, on which you men meet each other, which you can exchange and experience for My will. Only when you know about My will, your will can decide, subordinate itself to Mine, but then you are also relieved of all responsibility, then your will has entered Mine, then also your thinking and wanting and acting will correspond to My will, and then the way to perfection is no longer long. But how often does man resist Me, how often does he believe to be able to determine himself and his life; how often does he listen to My opponent, who presents My nature distorted to him, so that man cannot feel love for a being, which must be denied perfection according to the presentation of My opponent. I want to win your love, and I will then also be able to address you, be it directly or indirectly through My messengers, but which I supply to everyone who just has the earnest will to reach his aim on earth, who wants to live according to My will and then can also perfect himself on this earth ...._>Amen

The pure truth is a gift ....

B.D. 8775 from March 10th 1964, taken from Book No. 92

You should not allow yourselves to be irritated by objections on the part of your fellow human beings when it concerns which of you represents the truth .... This will always remain an object of dispute, because every man believes himself to be in possession of truth, because one or the other suits him and he has again taken over his thought material from other men on the way of upbringing, from which he also does not want to break away. And he also cannot reach pure truth as long as doubts do not arise in him .... If this is never the case, then man only has a dead knowledge, which does not let him become inwardly alive. For one thing shall be said to you as certain, that I Myself ensure that doubts arise in a person who does not yet stand entirely in truth .... Because it is My constant endeavour to guide people into the pure truth I will also take care of everyone who does not yet possess it, providing he occupies himself with spiritual thoughts in the first place, that he does not live into the day completely thoughtlessly .... But I Myself accept every person who thinks about himself and his creator, about his purpose of earthly life, and if his thinking is still wrong, then I Myself will allow doubts to arise in him, and as soon as he himself is no longer entirely convinced of the truth of his thinking, he will ask questions which I will then also be extremely happy to answer. But once true thought material has been imparted to him from Me, then he will also hold on to it and convinced of the truth of it also represent it towards his fellowmen. And now differences will always arise between those who are steered into other thinking through emerging doubts, and those who stand up for the rightness of their views, but who are driven to it more by fanaticism than by inner conviction, which they just can only win when they possess true spiritual material, because they then also stand in connection with Me as the giver of truth. But you, who are taught through the spirit to bring light into the darkness of night as bearers of truth, you are not to listen to those who reject you; you are also not to listen to their arguments because My opponent makes use of them to take action against you and against the light, which radiates from Me. Increasingly stronger temptations will come, all of which are intended to hold you back from the activity which you voluntarily took on out of love for Me and for the erring souls. But you yourselves will increase in wisdom and be able to resist every onslaught, because the power for it is supplied to you through My perpetual address, because My word is blessed with My power. But the more you spread light the more the enemy of souls seeks to extinguish the light and he has his helpers who likewise exert all influence on men. But every man is free in his wanting .... Every man can listen to you, but also those who work for My opponent, and again it depends alone on how strong the desire for truth is in a man, which then truly also protects him from error. That is why you are to speak where you find open ears, and remain silent where you are opposed, because also truth will remain without impression there, where the will resists the acceptance. But pure truth is a gift, which I offer to everyone, because I want to help him to beatitude, which can only be reached through truth .... But also a gift has to be accepted voluntarily. I force no-one to accept it, for it would then remain without effect and only harden the heart of the person who then goes against the truth. Earth is a dark area, which can certainly be illuminated by individual rays of light, but full light will never illuminate the area, because there are too many followers of My opponent, who seek to cloud or extinguish it. Nevertheless, again and again I send rays into this dark area, and anyone who desires light will enter this ray of light and it will become light in him himself, for pure truth will be supplied to him which is the explanation for everything .... And I will also always find loyal servants on earth who are active for Me, who guide the truth everywhere, which they receive directly from Me. And these light bearers will be stronger than My adversary because they work with My power, and they radiate light, which My adversary will always flee and that is why he makes use of his following to take action against My messengers of light .... But I know how much humanity needs a light, I know that it will perish without truth, and thus I will always provide people with a light and give them what they need if only they accept it voluntarily, for I will not force anyone to enter My circle of light of love; I certainly distribute the truth but do not force anyone to accept it, and anyone who wants to remain in darkness will not be prevented from doing so ...._>Amen

Spiritual darkness .... Denial of free will ....

B.D. 8776 from March 11th 1964, taken from Book No. 92

People live in such error and yet close their eyes when light is offered to them, they don't want to see because they feel comfortable in the darkness. This is My adversary's work, the prince of darkness, who surrounds those people by darkness who don't resist him, who don't want to attain the light of their own will. It is so understandable that people become increasingly more confused the further they distance themselves from Me, and the extent of distance is determined by their degree of love .... Anyone who shapes himself into love will be connected to Me, since I Am Love Itself, lack of love means distance from Me, and if love has grown cold among people then they are part of My adversary, who is entirely devoid of love. Then the distance between Me and them will be unbridgeable and can only be bridged through the divine Redeemer Jesus Christ, but this simultaneously means that the commandments of love, which Jesus gave to people at the time of His earthly life, must be complied with. Love comes first and last, without love there is no realisation, no truth, no light and no return to Me. And the thoughts of anyone who lives without love will be confused, he will advocate error as truth and be completely unenlightened, completely blind in spirit .... But time and again a bearer of light will arise among these people .... time and again I will try to open people's eyes, to kindle a light for them, to provide them with clarification and above all to point out the commandments of love, because they will only become receptive if their hearts soften and they make an effort to live a life of love. And this is caused by free will, which can move in all directions, and just as it is inclined towards My adversary it can also choose Me if only the human being listens to what is proclaimed about Me and through Me: that I pursue every one of My living creations with love and yearn for their return to Me .... Then the human being's will can turn towards Me and his way of thinking will change, he will reject the error and willingly accept the truth, thereby fulfilling the purpose of earthly life so that the person will completely change his nature, so that he transforms his selfish love .... his wrong love .... into unselfish neighbourly love, into that love which is pleasing to Me and which unites the human being with Me, Who is Love Itself ....

Every one of you humans can put it to the test, you need only pay attention to your environment and to the unkind people's attitude towards Me as well as of those who are actively loving and you will always be able to notice that an unkind person does not believe in a higher Being Which gave life to him, and that he also has entirely different spiritual notions than a believer .... Actively loving and unloving people will never hold the same points of view regarding spiritual subjects; their opinions will be so fundamentally different just as their nature will be which can be recognised as kind-hearted or heartless, because it has an effect on fellow human beings. And if these unkind and unbelieving people would also use their intellect they could still ask themselves many a question, which .... if it is genuinely raised .... would also be mentally answered for them .... Yet this is always determined by a person's free will .... To deny free will is the epitome of misguided thinking, for then the person would truly not need intellect either, which was given to him in order to weigh everything up against each other and to come to a decision, be it in regards to earthly or spiritual matters .... The human being's thinking must be able to move in all directions, and the path of earthly life as a human being would be pointless if the human being were not able to reach perfection on it for which, however, free will is a prerequisite .... otherwise it would truly not be proof of My perfection, if I Myself determined the state of every soul at the death of the body, if I Myself judged every event, every action and thought according to My will, in which case, however, the human race would never be able to become sinful and corrupt, because My will is always good, that is, it always corresponds to lawful order .... And you have received intelligence to think about this precisely because you should deliberate on everything since you are not robots .... works, created by the Creator according to His plan and which would never be able to change .... because they would be incapable of doing so without free will. You humans should seriously contemplate such thoughts; otherwise you won't feel responsible for your way of life on earth, how it turns out at the end of your life .... Direct your will towards Me, your God and Creator, of your own accord and truly, you will not live in darkness much longer, a light will be kindled in you and in this light you will recognise the path which leads to the goal .... to Me and to eternal life ....

Amen

God's perfection knows no limits of time and space ....

B.D. 8777 from March 12th 1964, taken from Book No. 92

Aeons have passed by already and aeons will yet pass, and there will still be creations in the universe, because infinitely many once-fallen spirits are still awaiting their salvation, because innumerable spiritual beings, hardened in their substance, are still waiting for their transformation into matter and the higher development of all these spiritual substances requires eternities until they have become a self-aware being again which can conclude its development but which can also fail, and this requires an infinitely long time once more until its ultimate spiritualisation. You humans will wonder why I, the Eternal Divine Spirit, the Creator and Lord of everything in existence, resolved to undertake such an activity in infinity in the first place, why I created spirits and did not prevent them from falling into the abyss, from revolting against Me and, in a manner of speaking, becoming opposed to Me .... and why I want to change the attitude of these spirits in My favour again .... And you will ask yourselves what motivated Me to let countless creations arise, which are basically these fallen spirits .... And I will have to keep giving you the same answer, that both the creation of perfect beings as well as the rescue of the beings which became imperfect was motivated by My infinitely profound love and that My unsurpassed wisdom also devised a plan by which I will achieve My goal one day .... that My unlimited power was able to bring anything I wanted into existence, that no restrictions exist for Me and this awareness is My whole bliss which I would like to share with other beings, but then they must also have the same nature as I have Myself. All My reign and activity in infinity only serves the one purpose of educating My once 'created works' into true gods, into supremely perfect beings which, as My 'children', can create and work with Me and with the same will. Since I Am perfect no limitation exists for Me, which is the reason for the endless number of the created and of the fallen spirits and the infinitely long lasting periods of time these spirits require until they are what I Myself was unable to create: true children, My images, which work with inconceivable happiness in the spiritual kingdom. By forming a correct concept of Me and My Nature it must first of all also be clear to you that no limitation can exist for Me, otherwise I couldn't be called supremely perfect, since a limitation is always a sign of imperfection .... Neither time nor space is limited for Me, neither love nor wisdom and power ....

And thus I will always and forever be active and nevertheless have a goal: the complete deification of all beings which were brought into life by Me. And this complete deification necessitates the created being's free will, which can join Me and My will but also oppose Me without being prevented. For only free will is true life .... without this free will everything is just a dead creation having emerged from My power but without the involvement of love and wisdom. For Love created beings for Itself which it wanted to please, and Wisdom drew up the plan of 'deifying' the 'created' beings .... Love gave 'life' to the being, for only free will signified life, whereas a being, were it forced to fulfil My will, would be and remain a dead being, which was certainly created in highest perfection but at a loss as to what to do with this perfection were it bound to comply with My will. In that case all created beings would only have been offshoots from Me and not something I externalised as independent beings, which could neither want nor act freely like I Myself .... And this, in turn, would have questioned My love and wisdom which, however, are the epitome of My Nature, the epitome of supreme perfection. The soul requires a degree of maturity in order to have knowledge of My act of creation, otherwise it would not be receptive for such knowledge, for it does not merely concern the information but also the understanding for the processes regarding the emergence of Creation as a whole as well as for the infinitely long time needed in order to complete the work of return .... And since you humans are unable to imagine infinite times and unlimited space you can only be given an indirect explanation. Nevertheless you should know that to Me a thousand years are like a day and that sooner or later the day of returning home into the Father's house will come for every being, even if eternities will still pass by, that the bliss will then make up a thousand fold for all previous states of torment and that this bliss, too, will never come to an end .... which you humans likewise cannot understand because you have only a limited thinking capacity .... but that you then will also love Me, your God and Creator, your Father of eternity, with all your heart, with all the sincerity you are capable of, and that you will also most eagerly take part in the redemption or beatitude of all beings which have not attained the final goal as yet. For then you will be driven to do so by love which will have reached a degree that you will be able to accomplish whatever you want. For then you will have completely entered into My will and thus have become gods, My children, which I will never ever lose again ....

Amen

God's justice demands atonement for every debt ....

B.D. 8778 from March 13th 1964, taken from Book No. 92

I am a God of goodness and mercy, a God of gentleness and love .... and yet also a God of justice, for I am supremely perfect and therefore cannot let anything bad happen that is contrary to the eternal order, it must be atoned for according to justice. But when I demand this atonement from men, who therefore have become sinful, that must be left to Me and My wisdom, only no man can enter the kingdom of light, who only carries the smallest guilt with him, when he departs from this earth. He must first make atonement, which can exceedingly bitterly burden a being in the kingdom on the other side and can keep him outside of every happy feeling for a long time, until he has become free of his guilt. And you can imagine that no man would leave the earthly body (the earth) free of guilt of sin if only the sins are counted which man commits on earth and that he would need eternal times in the hereafter until all guilt would be redeemed through sufferings and agonies of all kinds of which you are not able to imagine .... But one died for you on the cross, Who took upon Himself all guilt of sin, Who, burdened with this guilt, went the way to the cross, suffered and died for the redemption of humanity's guilt .... Although a far greater guilt was at issue, it was the great original guilt of the beings' apostasy from God, which had to be atoned for and which could never have atoned for the being itself .... For this guilt the man Jesus died on the cross for the first time, so that the gate to happiness could be opened at all, which was closed to the souls through this original sin, and no-one could have entered the kingdom of light anymore without the death of Jesus Christ on the cross, without the work of redemption .... But He died for all sins of men, He took all the guilt of sin upon Himself and redeemed it with His blood .... And thus the human being can also become free from every sin he committed in earthly life if he himself turns to the divine redeemer and asks Him for forgiveness, if he trustingly lays all his guilt at His feet and asks Him to have shed His blood for it too and accepts Him as a sinner who repents of his guilt and asks for forgiveness .... And thus only is it possible that the soul of man can enter the kingdom of light after his death because one has paid the debt for it, because it has become free from the guilt which would have denied it entry .... but which now voluntarily contributes to the redemption of the unhappy souls through constant service in love in the spiritual kingdom, which therefore declares itself willing of its own accord to pay off the guilt remitted to it through Jesus' blood through loving service to the souls which are still unhappy, that it likewise seeks to lead these souls to Jesus to request forgiveness of their guilt from Him, and thus, as it were, all of God's justice is satisfied when only the path to the cross is taken, when every soul carries its guilt under the cross and the just atonement has now been made for it. That is why there could be no happiness in the kingdom of light for the souls before the death of Jesus on the cross, even if they had led a pure life on earth, because they were burdened by the original sin. But neither could they put earthly life itself behind them without having transgressed against Me as the eternal love .... they fell into sin, and My justice demanded compensation for it, which they were certainly able to make themselves with good will but then the original sin still kept the gate to the kingdom of light closed to them. If they had never fallen then they would not have needed to sin on earth, as was the case with the beings of light which ascended to earth, which lovingly took care of their fellow human beings and exemplified to them a right life on earth. But the former apostasy from Me had made them in bondage to My adversary, who now, for his part, used all his influence to stir people up against Me, against everything good. And thus a sinful human race was created whose burden of sin has increased and can only find salvation through the act of salvation of Jesus Christ .... But who does not accept the redemption through Jesus, the kingdom of light will remain closed to him until he, too, will one day decide to do so. Because My justice is not to be eliminated; I cannot delete guilt, which was not atoned for, but My endless love allowed a representing atonement, which the man Jesus therefore accomplished and you all find mercy instead of justice, because the love of your father redeemed the guilt for you, because love nevertheless satisfied justice, because the redemption of guilt required an immense suffering, which ended with the most agonizing dying on the cross. But the acknowledgement of Jesus as God's son and redeemer of the world and the conscious request for forgiveness of guilt inevitably belongs to it to become free from the great guilt of the former apostasy and also the sin guilt of man on earth, but then the soul can already after its departure from earth enter into the kingdom of light and happiness, where it itself will now be untiringly active according to My will and again take part in the work of redemption, by it also leading those souls to Jesus, so that they find redemption ...._>Amen

Concept of time and space .... Bliss ....

B.D. 8779 from March 14th 1964, taken from Book No. 92

You will glorify My name for all eternity .... You will give thanks and sing your praises to the One Who created you and Who will make you profusely happy .... You will recognise your God and Creator as your Father Who is connected to you in profound love, Who created you out of His love, because He was filled by immeasurable strength and because He found His bliss by making use of this strength .... You will love Me with all your heart, for you will have to reciprocate My love once you have developed into love again as you were in the beginning. But infinitely long periods of time will still pass by until everything created will have changed into love once more, until all created beings will grant Me the love again which they initially felt for Me. Yet time does not exist in eternity and the concept of time is only applicable to you humans who still live on earth in a state of imperfection. And earthly life, too, is but an instant compared to the infinitely long time before your life on earth as a human being, and if you only enter the spiritual kingdom with just a glimmer of realisation, with just a slight degree of light and love, then this previous time will already appear to you like a short process of development towards your ascent; yet what lies ahead of you will never end .... And thus every concept of space will also be excluded in the state where the light from Me can already permeate you in the spiritual kingdom .... Then you will be able to stay wherever you move to in your thoughts, no distance will exist for you, no inaccessible goals, only your degree of maturity will determine the spheres of your stay, and you will not want to enter into any other spheres of your own accord either, because you will know yourselves that any sphere will correspond to your degree of light and love. But your love for Me will flare up brightly within you, and the soul will long for Me with ever more yearning, and I will grant it fulfilment, I will let My love flow ever stronger and constantly intensify its bliss. Were you humans on earth aware of this state of bliss, truly, you would do whatever it takes in order to attain it, yet you can only be informed of it, the evidence of it, however, cannot be given to you, for this beatitude is so inconceivably immense that it can only become the fate of those who voluntarily strive towards this degree of maturity, which is the condition for the receipt of beatitude which I have prepared for My living creations.

However, people need only behold the wonders of creation which, admittedly, no longer appear unusual to them because they have become accustomed to seeing them, but they nevertheless testify to a Creator Who uses His strength with love and wisdom in order to also give pleasure to people on earth already .... And such a Creator still has countless possibilities in order to grant His living creations evidence of His love, yet he requires people to take the path to Him, to let their frame of mind be dominated by Him .... I require people to live in and with Me but in order to then also prepare a fate for them which they cannot even imagine on earth .... I only want to receive your love, but then I will also consider My children with My love and create beatitudes which no human being can possibly dream of .... which no eye has ever seen and no ear has ever heard of .... And I thus often step into a human being's life so that he can recognise Me as a God of love and he would only have to respond to My love in order to approach this blissful fate .... And one day he will not be able to understand why he denied Me his love for so long .... one day it will be incomprehensible to him that he kept himself far-away from Me for such long periods of time, and then he will only be concerned with helping people to gain realisation faster, since he will be allowed to look after them when he is in the spiritual kingdom. Being inconceivably happy himself in his love he will also want to help those attain happiness who have not yet reached the degree in order to be given My gifts of love directly. And this is why constant redemption work is being carried out from the spiritual kingdom, for every redeemed soul takes part in it as soon as it is enlightened itself and can also observe all events on earth, the ever-increasing decline of spirituality as well as the flashes of rays of light in this dark world. And every redeemed soul will then already be able to emanate light itself and penetrate the darkness for the salvation of people who are of good will. And the redemption of every soul will cause great rejoicing in the spiritual kingdom, their love for Me will increase and My children will praise and extol Me without end, for their every feeling is a prayer of gratitude in ardent love for Me .... Love, however, is bliss and can intensify without end .... I Myself as Eternal Love will always be the yearning and the goal of all illuminated spiritual beings which constantly receive My emanation of love and are continuously active because love is also strength which can never remain inactive .... And you humans should know about God's infinite love, so that you, too, may receive it as soon as your own degree of love allows for a constant illumination in which you will be and remain immeasurably happy ....

Amen

B.D. 8780 from March 15th 1964, taken from Book No. 92

I want to guide you ever deeper into truth so that you will bear up against all challenges by My adversary who leaves no stone unturned in order to prevent your work for Me and My kingdom. And the more knowledge you possess, the more you penetrate the truth which can only be imparted to you by Me, the more firmly will you stand your ground, for you will realise that all objections and contradictory statements are pointless and unfounded, they will only ever be empty words without deeper meaning and significance. But it is My will that the light in you shall become brighter, that in your ever more enlightened state you will learn to recognise all correlations and will therefore not be unsettled by objections anymore. And I also want you to correct errors when you are confronted by them .... I want you to be sincere fighters for Me, I want you to fight with the sword of your tongue where you are opposed by error, for you have been chosen by Me as bearers of light to convey the truth to wherever there is the will to know the truth .... And in particular the end of this earth will often be a controversial subject because hardly anyone wants to believe in it .... and precisely because the process of final destruction will be such a momentous event it does not seem credible to people .... for they have no comparison to such an event, no matter how far back they can think. And yet, it will happen and take everyone by surprise apart from the small group of those whose life of love granted them inner enlightenment and who therefore also consciously expect the end of this earth. But wherever even the slightest worldliness prevails, where people have still not entirely detached themselves from the longing for worldly possessions, there will only be weak belief or none at all at the end of this earth, and they will reject all proclamations of this kind as false prophesies and time and again try to contradict them. And extensive explanations will not suffice either, because they simply lack the will to believe in such prophesies, their love for the world is stronger than their love for their neighbour or they would be spiritually awake and incapable of doubting in the slightest what I Myself proclaim through the working of the spirit to people time and again, so that they will prepare themselves for a near end.

However, you, My bearers of light, shall ever more strongly believe in everything I say to you, you shall experience My love and My constant presence, you shall lovingly and gratefully accept the immense gift of grace I give to you because you are faithful to Me and fight for Me and My name because you love Me and your neighbour. And for that reason I want to give you a proclamation which again will only be accepted by the profoundly devout person but which soon will also be able to convince the doubters, for not much time will pass until the first signs of a great cosmic change become apparent .... which cannot be explained by any scientist or even the sharpest of intellects and which will give rise to serious concerns .... And you will have no possibility of protecting yourselves from the looming disaster; you will only be able to wait and thus become greatly agitated, for the said cosmic phenomena will be the onset of the immense natural disaster, for the universe will revolt against all unspiritual beings within the vicinity of earth and which at present exert an extraordinary influence on the spiritual beings striving towards ascent .... A tremendous battle has erupted between the spirits of light and of darkness, for these spirits know that a turning point is approaching and both sides will use the last days to an extraordinary extent .... And these spiritual battles for people's souls on earth affect the various stars in the universe which in some respects are in spiritual contact with Earth .... And with My approval the inhabitants of these stars also participate in the final battle on this earth, and they express themselves by way of massive eruptions which can be observed from earth and cause acute anxiety in people who are able to monitor the course of the stars and their changes of movements, which in all probability will not bypass Earth without a trace .... Humanity can only be woken up by science now, for they do not listen to spiritual notions but cannot deny scientific observations and by thinking about it they can still find the right path with good will. For the greatest prophets may arise on earth and yet people will not believe them .... And neither can I speak to people in a compelling way in order to make them aware of being in danger due to the approaching end .... But I can let unusual things happen in My creation by apparently revoking the order and yet this, too, is part of My law insofar as that it is included in My plan of eternity for the sake of a specific purpose. And again there will be people who won't even allow themselves to be impressed by this, who will continue to live their sinful life and head towards the abyss without letting anything get into their way .... But there will also be a few who will start to wonder and then listen to the explanations given to them by My messengers of light .... And the faith of those who want to remain loyal to Me will be strengthened again, for they recognise the truth of My Word and therefore firmly hold on to My promise that I will remember all of them and fetch those home on the day of Judgment who believe in My Words and remain faithful to Me until the end ....

Amen

B.D. 8781 from March 16th 1964, taken from Book No. 92

This is an unusual event which I announce to you .... you will think that you are mistaken yet time and again experience the same .... earthly tremors which are not caused by eruptions but always occur when the earth stands in a certain constellation to the stars .... so that the tremors can be anticipated on a regular basis and will not fail to happen. They will be barely perceptible and hence disturb few people, yet investigations by scientists will give rise to apprehensions of the worst kind. Furthermore, as the phenomena intensify they will also unsettle indifferent people once they realise the threat to earth from other heavenly bodies because, having left their path, the latter are moving towards earth and, time and again, form a constellation which triggers these very effects.

In view of the approaching end people shall still be aroused from their calm, they shall remember their Creator and think about their own transience and the fact that they have no guarantee of passing into complete oblivion after their physical death; they have to be reminded of the end of their lives and also of the fate which will await them if they believe in the continuation of their soul's life. The last days will exhibit so much that is contrary to nature, given that people's activities and thoughts are already unnatural and result in consequences of the worst kind .... People undertake explorations of the universe presumptuously and beyond their authority .... They disregard natural laws and, yet, their actions and intentions will not be prevented; the repercussions, however, will rebound on them. Nevertheless, the end is moving ever closer, and if people are yet to be helped by taking stock of themselves and becoming aware of their great responsibility then an unusual activity on God's part will also have to be shown to them, even though it is still up to their own free will to take notice of it and adjust accordingly.

And such unusual activity will be experienced by humanity in the forthcoming time. It will not be caused by people but take place in the cosmos, in a region which is entirely subject to the Creator Himself, which is now seemingly sliding into lawlessness, and yet even this event is integral to the plan of returning the spirits, since it is capable of leading to a change in many people because it is too extraordinary .... but without compelling them to believe, for the unbelieving person will not even take the trouble to find an explanation since he lives utterly irresponsibly.

And people's spiritual state in the last days has already sunk so low that even extraordinary natural events would not make them believe, consequently even these methods can still be used for the benefit of undecided people who need strong motives to seriously reflect on it and aim their will into the right direction. For whatever can still be done in order to keep the souls from the fate of a new banishment will be done by God, Who loves humanity and does not want them to go astray .... But every time He manifests Himself in the manner it was announced there will be fatalities, otherwise people would not allow themselves to be impressed and mutually accuse each other of self-deception .... For the effects will vary from place to place, and it will take scientists a certain length of time before they succeed in finding the right explanation, but then the signs will repeat themselves with ever increasing frequency and provide people with the evidence that something is happening in the cosmos which they cannot counteract themselves.

And thus they will also be subject to the periodically recurring consequences until, finally, the huge natural event will take place which will demonstrate God's might and greatness to people who believe in Him and who will also be protected in every adversity. Yet, although people are repeatedly informed of an approaching end, although the preceding natural disasters are repeatedly pointed out to them .... they won't believe nor change their way of life in the slightest, they will do nothing to prepare themselves, they live in the world and love it, and look at the world as their God .... And therefore they will remain attached to matter when the end has come .... Yet everything has been determined in the divine plan of Salvation and nothing will come to pass that has not already been taken into account since eternity ....

And thus even this unnatural event will take place according to divine will, and the day for this has also been predetermined and will be upheld .... Nevertheless, you shall be informed in advance so that your faith may be strengthened, because everything will come to pass as was said before and because you will recognise the truth of what is conveyed to you from above ever more .... For you ought to establish a connection between God and the world, with your fellow human beings who live without faith or thought .... Admittedly, you will only be able to speak about it after the initial occurrences have taken place since prior to that no-one will want to listen to you .... you will only find open ears and hearts after a tremor has happened which will make people wonder and only then should you speak, and then it will depend on people's willingness as to what benefits they will draw from these events ....

Amen

Every man of good will comes to the truth ....

B.D. 8782 from March 17th 1964, taken from Book No. 92

You need not worry in the slightest as long as you commend yourselves to Me, as long as you entrust all your worries to Me and mentally converse with Me about everything that affects you. And so I will also direct everything so as it is favourable for your vineyard work, as long as you want to serve Me and also prove yourselves as loyal servants, by you always only wanting to be active for your lord and house father. I know to direct everything so that still the successes are achieved, which are only possible. But you should also always be aware of the fact that it will be and remain arduous work for you to bring the gospel to your fellow human beings, to pass on the truth which you receive from Me, for people shut themselves off and only a few accept you and your messages. And you can already see from this that those do not stand in truth who have much following, while you will only find isolated people, because truth will never be acknowledged by the masses .... But I know all human hearts and also know who is receptive and willing to receive, and truly, I do not leave him without message from Me, and he will also recognize it as divine message and accept it happyly. And that is why you only need to always connect with Me in confidential dialogue, and again and again I will tie up new threads and open doors for you, because I have after all made this the task for you, to carry My gospel out into the world. There are not many people left who long for the truth; but the few will also receive it .... There are also not many serious vineyard workers who no longer want anything else than to bring My word to men, who have withdrawn themselves from the world and only want to be active for Me .... Mostly they still want to combine both, because they are not yet prepared to give up the world completely and therefore also the world will hold them tight .... But I demand complete devotion to Me, then you will also no longer need the world and still be able to exist in the world. But until you are completely convinced that everything is possible for Me and I work unusually on those who completely trust Me and are filled with the desire to only serve Me and My kingdom, I also cannot work unusually and must wait for the time where they join Me more and more intimately, because who once has entered My service, he will no longer leave the circle of My vineyard workers, as soon as he has only entered his services with earnest will, as soon as he could be instructed and introduced by Me Myself into all truth .... Because this knowledge also lets him recognize his assignment responsibly, and he now also can no longer detach himself from Me, because love unites us, which was cause that I could give him an assignment, which is exceedingly important for the salvation of men's souls. And since I therefore know Myself about the urgency of the spreading of truth, I will exhaust all possibilities and bless every one of My servants who subjects himself to this task, who co-operates in My vineyard, who wants to scatter divine seed into men, which is to come up and bear rich fruit. But I see the successes, which are not always openly recognizable to you .... And I will omit nothing what only contributes to that again a man comes to the light of inner knowledge. But I measure with a different standard like you men, who often cannot muster patience and expect quick successes .... No vineyard work is done in vain; it bears its fruit, if not on earth, then in the kingdom on the other side, but also on earth everything is still done to conquer darkness for men who desire light .... But men cannot be led to truth against their will, because truth is divine, and man must muster the earnest will of union with Me, to now also receive a divine gift from Me, but which I withhold from no man, who just turns to Me asking for supply of truth. But these become less and less; the world desire speaks more and more, which is whispered into man by My opponent, and he will also do everything to keep the darkness of spirit for man. That is why man therefore decides himself about his spiritual state; man himself accepts or resists spiritual good, which is offered to him as a gift of favour, but not forced upon him. And I will never force the will of man; I will meet him with My favour, but also not hinder him when he passes by My gift of favour .... And therefore you should also not be surprised or despondent when your task is not acknowledged, when you are harassed by dark forces who only intend to hinder you in your work for Me and My kingdom because they know that the pure truth out of Me is a light in which they themselves are recognized and detested .... And that is why there will also always be the battle between light and darkness, yet the light will always be effective where the human being unites with Me, where he does not oppose My gift of grace ...._>Amen

A mediator's introspection ....

B.D. 8783 from March 18th 1964, taken from Book No. 92

One day it will be a blessing for you that you were able to bear up against temptations, that you took refuge in Me during every adversity and inner affliction and that you are once again allowed to test your will as to who should gain control over you .... I must allow all temptations to take place, for you only become victors by fighting, and every temptation is a test of your willpower to endorse that which you know to be the truth. Time and again deceptive lights will weaken your eyes, and time and again you will be thrown into inner doubts or questions, and then it will be up to you to whom you will turn in order to settle all doubts and to receive an answer to all questions, and blessed are you if you only ever turn to Me, your God and Father of eternity, Who is the Truth and wants to grant it to everyone who wants it. And time and again I have to tell you that the human being's free will is the explanation for everything. It is not prevented from digressing from the truth, and every person is influenced by the spiritual kingdom according to his frame of mind .... And thus, his thinking will more or less correspond to the truth as well, and on the foundation of his thoughts he will add further knowledge .... and he cannot be certain as to whether it originates from the Eternal Truth. And, again, every individual person's will is judged .... whether he wants to give something to his fellow human beings, whether he wants to help them and whether the reasons for his actions are good .... whether he is therefore kind-hearted and wants to please other people .... Accordingly, he will also think right .... He simply should not yet have created his own foundation on which he will subsequently build. It is therefore especially important to establish the origin of his thoughts, for the whole sum can end up wrong if a miscalculation had already slipped in at the very beginning .... This is why the pure truth is only ever guaranteed if it can pour into an empty vessel, if I Myself Am the source and let the flow of My strength of love pour into a vessel which has been completely emptied. Then I will be able to instruct a person from the beginning and misguided thoughts will be excluded, for they cannot exist alongside the pure truth from Me, they will be instantly recognised as wrong and will therefore not be accepted.

And every person has to subject himself to this introspection if he wants to work as a mediator between Me and the human race and convey the truth to them. The spiritual world has every possibility at its disposal of taking possession of a person, of subjugating his will and then of working through this person .... As to whether this happens in a positive or negative sense is determined by the person who hands himself over to spiritual forces so that they can speak through him .... And the degrees of maturity vary so much in the spiritual world that their messages, too, are entirely different .... You humans don't always possess the necessary gift of discernment to have the guarantee of knowing the truth .... Therefore the world of light will always advise you to shape yourselves such that it will enable the 'working of the spirit' within the person, so that I Myself .... the eternal Father-Spirit .... will be able to express Myself through the spiritual spark in you. In that case you can be certain that only pure truth will be imparted to you. And I Myself will always inform you about the characteristic of the 'divine working of the spirit', which will enlighten you about Jesus Christ and His act of Salvation .... For all you humans will live your earthly existence in vain if you don't find the path to Him, Who alone can release you from My adversary's power .... Who alone can redeem the original sin, which consisted of your past apostasy from Me, and Who alone can grant you the strength to liberate yourselves through His acquired blessings on the cross to strengthen your will ....

One caused your downfall .... One can and will redeem you and lift you up to Him again .... And this One needs to be recognised and acknowledged as Redeemer of the world, in Whom I embodied Myself and accomplished the act of Salvation for people. And if the knowledge of this is not clearly and unequivocally made accessible to you then you are not taught by Me Myself and continue to remain in spiritual darkness until you have found the light which emanates from Me directly and fills everyone who merely opens his heart and accepts what I either directly or indirectly aim to impart to him. But he must want to know the truth from the bottom of his heart, then he will receive it and also completely understand what is offered to him from the spiritual kingdom. I cannot do anything else but convey My Word to you directly, which is purest truth. Nevertheless, you are at liberty to accept it or to acquire different spiritual knowledge which can appeal to you as well but which will always remain a deceptive light that has no effect on your soul. But as soon as you turn to Me with the serious request to illuminate your spirit and to give you the correct discernment between right and wrong .... you will not appeal to Me in vain, for I protect everyone from error who sincerely desires the truth but neither will I hinder My adversary, who will do everything in his power to confuse your thinking by presenting you with spiritual knowledge which is contradictory to the truth .... For he will fight the truth until the end, but until the end I, too, will send you the light which will strengthen your faith and make you blissfully happy ....

Amen

No beatitude without Salvation through Jesus Christ ....

B.D. 8784 from March 19th 1964, taken from Book No. 92

You humans should bear in mind that I want to help you attain the degree of maturity in earthly life which enables you to enter the kingdom of light after you pass away from this earth .... Indeed, sooner or later you will all enter this kingdom, yet the time it will take until then can still cause you inconceivable pain if you enter the realm of the beyond in an entirely unspiritual state and the gates into the realm of light are still closed to you. Although My mercy and grace apply to every single soul even if they lived a sinful life on earth, I cannot provide it with anything else than that which My justice permits, consequently, in the spiritual realm it can only ever take possession of spheres which correspond to its way of life and will still have to endure inconceivable suffering and agony in order to redeem its guilt of sin. And if it fails to find Jesus Christ in the beyond, its suffering will be endless; it will continue to descend further and will finally have to accept the fate of renewed banishment, because there is no other atonement for the original sin than through Jesus Christ. None of you realise the full significance of the act of Salvation .... And precisely this accounts for your immense spiritual hardship .... I want to help My living creations to find the path to the cross while they still live on earth, for this will guarantee the soul an entirely different fate .... For to attain forgiveness of the sin of guilt before the human being's death is the most worthwhile goal to strive for .... as it opens the gate into the kingdom of light and the soul will be able to enjoy beatitudes in abundance .... However, the human race is not aware of the immense significance the act of Salvation holds and My adversary makes a diligent effort to keep you ignorant .... And even if people believe that the man Jesus had lived on earth in the past, exemplifying to people the most perfect way of life and calling upon them to emulate Him, they still don't want to believe that an exalted mission had been the reason for Jesus' life on earth .... They don't want to believe that it concerned an act of greatest mercy, that Jesus, through His crucifixion, wanted to redeem and indeed redeemed an immense sin, which could not be expiated by any other means than through an act of greater than great love and an inordinate measure of physical suffering .... which thus bridged the vast gulf between the kingdom of light and the realm of darkness. From then on everyone was able to cross this bridge providing he believes in Jesus Christ's act of Salvation as well as My human manifestation in Him. This human manifestation is another enigma which can only be understood by a spiritually awakened person, because people's state of sinfulness rules out all understanding for it, thus a person must first have an affirmative attitude towards Jesus' act of Salvation, appeal for forgiveness of his sin and in heartfelt contact with Him be taught by the spirit within, which can only express itself after the forgiveness of the original sin has taken place .... In that case My human manifestation in Jesus will be understandable to him, for he can be guided by the spirit into all truth and informed of all spiritual correlations .... Hence he can attain the realisation again which he once lost through his rebellion against Me. He will only gain the knowledge of all these correlations through his spirit. This knowledge can nevertheless be presented to a person, and if he received a truthful account about Jesus Christ, His act of Salvation and My human manifestation in Him, then the truth can also convince a person and make him take the same path, the path to the cross .... And he will better understand what he previously was merely told by an enlightened fellow human being. This is why I consider the spreading of the pure truth so important. It is, after all, My will that this truth shall also reach people who live a good way of life but who do not believe as yet, who will subsequently feel addressed by the truth and affected by the strength of truth and thus can also attain faith.

If you humans realised how much you could improve your fate on entering the kingdom of the beyond if you were redeemed from you guilt of sin by Jesus Christ, you would also grasp why I keep highlighting this problem, why I repeatedly explain the spiritual correlations and try to stimulate your intellect to think about it; for merely the slightest will to fulfil your purpose of life on earth is already sufficient for Me to guide you and create every opportunity for you to gain realisation .... And the final knowledge, especially, can only be granted to you through the working of My spirit, for under My adversary's influence people will always want to negate the most important thing: the Salvation from all guilt through Jesus Christ .... They certainly make concessions by admitting to His existence and also portray Him as a human being who attained highest perfection in His earthly life. Yet they do not want to believe that it concerns an entirely different problem .... that without Him the human race would forever remain separated from its God and Creator and that the souls' development in the beyond could not progress, instead they will remain in a sorry state as long as they are burdened by the original sin. Therefore they lead a wretched and pitiful existence until they find the divine Redeemer on the other side, until they comply with the light beings' efforts and without resistance allow themselves to be guided to Him, Who will lift them up from the abyss and forgive their guilt of sin as soon as they appeal to Him for it .... Thus they must first believe that Jesus Christ redeemed the human race through His act of mercy, through His death on the cross. Only this substantiates Jesus' mission on earth, but not purely His way of life .... which certainly is part of it, since no person can become blessed without love, and the teaching of love was the essence of every one of the instructions He gave to people, who He wanted to save from spiritual darkness, from the shackles of the prince of night.

People lived in profound ignorance, they did not recognise themselves as living creations of a supremely perfect Being, they did not notice their imperfection and only loved their own Self, and their selfish love impelled them into sinfulness, into sins they might well have been able to atone for in the beyond, even if it had meant an infinitely long time of suffering .... Yet these sins were not the reason for My descent to earth in the human being Jesus .... instead, it concerned the immense original sin of the past apostasy from Me, which no human being would have been able to atone for, even if he spent eternities in a wretched state .... This sin was the reason why I Myself came down to earth and accomplished the act of Salvation in Jesus, the man .... For Love Itself redeemed the guilt, and the Love was in the man Jesus .... Time and again I will inform you humans of this through My spirit, time and again I will try to explain to you the greatest mystery of all, and I will send out My disciples during the last days in order to proclaim the truth about Jesus Christ, the Son of God and Redeemer of the world, Who sheltered Me Myself within Him and He and I are, and will remain, as One for all eternity ....

Amen

God wants to free people from error ....

B.D. 8785 from March 20th 1964, taken from Book No. 92

It shall be said to all of you that truth alone is the right path to perfection, to a safe return to Me .... For how are you to reach your aim if you go astray, if you are not given correct knowledge of your purpose of existence, or if wrong advice is given to you, if means are suggested to you which have no influence whatsoever on the maturing of your souls? How can you expect spiritual success from wrong explanations of My nature and My will when no truthful image of Me is developed for you and you do not strive for the one thing in your earthly life: to cultivate love for Me and your neighbour within you, which alone brings your soul to maturity. You can believe it, mankind has everything wrong and above all truth; far more erroneous than right teachings have taken root in the thinking of men, and these erroneous teachings can never lead to Me .... That is why it is My constant effort to guide you men into truth, to give you clear knowledge about purpose and aim of your earth life, but for which explanation must also be given to you about the cause of your being of man on earth. The knowledge, which is passed on from man to man, is not safe from deformation, because men's thoughts cannot always be influenced by Me, but far more often by My opponent and he will always deform pure truth. Hence only error and lies will ever emanate from him, but just as truth can only ever emanate from Me and must therefore also be requested from Me. For you must desire it as you once resisted all light and thereby sank into darkness, into confused thinking and completely wrong concepts, which My opponent transmitted to you. But light alone gives happiness, and light is every truthful knowledge; light goes out from Me and illuminates the way back to Me .... And that is why I again and again seek to bring pure truth to you men, to enlighten you about error and therefore to enlighten your spirit, which can never feel well in darkness. Truth will make you happy, and as I love you, because you are My creatures, I also want to help you to happiness, which lasts for ever. And this can only be achieved on the way of truth. You must know about My nature so that you give love to Me, but love connects you with Me, and love also secures eternal life for you, because love is power, and only he can live who stands in full possession of power and can be active all the time. You men must desire to move in truth .... you must not be satisfied with all spiritual knowledge which you receive from fellow human beings .... you must always ask yourselves whether the guarantee for pure truth can be given to you when you are taught by fellow human beings .... And you must earnestly desire to stand in truth. Then you can expect with full certainty that it will be supplied to you and that you will then also feel it yourselves whether truth or error is supplied to you. Only this desire for truth must be your innermost wanting; not only words or shallow wishes are allowed to express this, but you must desire truth in all seriousness, and you will be protected from all error. Because I Myself am truth, and I Myself want it that My creatures move in truth, but I do not determine your will, which is free. But unmeasured I will consider a man who strives for Me Myself .... and he will see the way to Me brightly illuminated and now also cover it in the certainty that it leads to the right destination. For this reason you humans should all ask yourselves whether the spiritual knowledge you possess corresponds to the complete truth .... you should seriously examine the spiritual knowledge you have adopted as to whether it testifies to a God of love, wisdom and omnipotence, and you can reject as erroneous any teaching which causes you to doubt this, for the truth will always reveal My nature to you as supremely perfect, as infinitely loving, immeasurably wise and supremely powerful .... And you will also be able to love such a being .... But I want to win your love because it leads you back to Me again; your love towards Me will also always fulfil My will, and you will yourselves mature in your souls, what only love achieves. But as long as you walk along in error, your maturing will be questionable, because error is part of the adversary, and he will always seek to prevent your maturing during earth life. You seriously have to come to terms with the thought that you cannot achieve spiritual success as long as you lack truth, and that your earthly progress can then be in vain, for you are only on earth for the purpose of reaching your aim, the final perfection, and become blissfully happy .... and become blessed ...._>Amen

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

B.D. 8786 from March 21st 1964, taken from Book No. 92

And regardless of how impossible it seems to you, I will intervene (affect you extraordinarily) when the time is right, for nothing is impossible to Me .... Just try to raise your degree of love, make an effort to live in accordance with My will, take care of your fellow human being in his adversity and demonstrate your love for Me by seeing in your fellow human being your brother, who has also come forth from Me in order to inherit beatitude one day. Believe that love alone is enough in order to accomplish the greatest miracles, in order to make things happen which you would humanly find impossible. Yet I Am a God of love, wisdom and might .... I can do anything, but at what time My might will express itself is always determined by My love and wisdom. And truly, with your will, with your love you can determine My will and My love, you can apply coercion on Me which I will extremely gladly put up with, because love will never be a nuisance but always give pleasure ....

And if you grant Me your love, My love will also express itself such that it will make you happy. I will give you humans the most diverse tasks, I know how and in which way every person can help, and I also know, whether and when he is willing to help, and I will send people his way whom he can please with his helpfulness, to whom he will give what they urgently require, be they earthly or spiritual possessions .... By passing on earthly possessions you are always demonstrating love to Me, for whatever you do to the least of My brothers you do unto Me .... Furthermore, you also prove to Me that you have already overcome matter and are spiritually progressing .... But if you pass on spiritual possessions then it is My work that I send people to you whom you should consider spiritually, whose souls are going hungry and are in urgent need of your help to nourish them, so that their souls will strengthen and recover. This helpfulness will be particularly rewarded by Me, for it signifies a distribution of spiritual possessions which will give life to the soul. And whoever is thus of service to Me by passing on what he receives from Me directly .... whoever has the salvation of his fellow human being's soul at heart, can be absolutely certain of My support, for he is implementing a labour of love which has to be far more highly valued, because he first has to feel sincere love for Me and for his fellow human being in order to acquire the possession of these spiritual values which he shall share again .... And then I will also always show Myself to him as a loving Father, I will guide him on earth and bless all his ways .... And My promises will fulfil themselves such that I will also work in an unusual way when the time is right.

All people in spiritual and earthly adversity are your neighbours, and you shall give to them what they require .... You should have the sincere will to help them and, truly, you will then also always have the means which you should pass on again, be they of a spiritual or material kind. Therefore, don't calculate anxiously but be generous, for the measure you use will be the measure you receive, what you give with love will be rewarded to you a thousand fold, always depending on the degree of love which impels you to help. So, don't worry, for I will take care of you .... always just work at improving yourselves, so that you will resist all temptations, so that you will not become heartless and put your degree of maturity at risk, and then you will also always be allowed to feel My love to an extent that you will feel My presence and be happy .... I love you, and I Am all-powerful, thus I want to make you happy and I Am also able to do so. However, My love knows when the time is right that I can affect you in an unusual way, that you will obviously experience My love and I can release you from all adversities of body and soul .... For My willingness to help is far greater than yours, and My gifts of grace are immeasurable, which I can and want to bestow on everyone who loves Me and keeps My commandments ....

Amen

A knowledge is needed to understand the work of redemption ....

B.D. 8787 from March 29th 1964, taken from Book No. 92

In order to be able to grasp the full truth, which concerns the work of redemption of Jesus Christ, the knowledge must also be imparted to you about primeval beginning and final aim of all beingness once created by Me. Because only one explains the other. And only few men are able to receive this knowledge and to understand it because for this the change of their nature to love is necessary. The more now love disappears among men, the more rarely also the knowledge about it will be able to be accepted and grasped by a man. And this results in humanity no longer being able to grasp the significance of the act of salvation and its reasoning and therefore no longer believing it .... it has the result that a body of thought displaced that knowledge, and what has now still survived is, in the best case, the knowledge that once a human being walked the earth Who led an exemplary way of life and inspired fellow human beings to follow His example. Irrefutably (irrevocably) man would now again come to that deep knowledge about the meaning of the work of redemption of Jesus when he would really be a right follower of Jesus, when he would make an effort to lead his life like Jesus in completely unselfish neighbourly love, because such a walk of life would guarantee him a bright inner light, and he would be introduced through his spirit from the inside into fullest truth. This working of the spirit therefore guarantees brightest knowledge, but due to people's lack of love it has become impossible, and this results in the fact that precisely about Jesus and His actual mission all knowledge has been lost to people, that for them Jesus is just a 'human being', albeit standing in high perfection .... They admit that He has reached the highest possible perfection on this earth, which all other people should strive for as well. People know nothing about the deeper connections which have to be associated with the spirits' apostasy from Me. And so therefore also nothing about Jesus' actual mission to redeem people from the guilt of the former apostasy. They also know nothing about the plan of the deification of all beings, which I have created. And they can also only understand all this in a certain degree of love, because love is the light, which enlightens their hearts and gives them full enlightenment about their being, about the beginning and aim of every man. It is therefore no wonder that Jesus' act of salvation is either unknown to people or unbelievable, since they cannot muster any understanding for it due to their low degree of love, and this degree of love will constantly decrease and therefore very few people will strive for redemption through Jesus and the path to the cross will be an incomprehensible concept for the majority .... an empty word .... has become. People would also never have needed to be instructed about it in a direct way, as it now happens through the supply of My word from above, for an unselfish life of love would have ordered and enlightened their thinking, the truth would have arisen in the human being himself, and all spiritual correlations would have arisen clearly and full of light before their eyes. The truth, which every human being's spiritual spark contains within himself, would also have come to man's awareness, and everyone would have directed his path to Jesus Christ of his own accord in order to request the redemption of his original sin from Him .... But mankind now stands shortly before the end exactly because of its loveless state. And therefore it is also explainable that all knowledge has got lost to it, that spiritual knowledge has sunk down and men themselves do nothing anymore to again kindle the light in themselves. And thus they have also lost all knowledge about the reason and significance of Jesus Christ's act of salvation, and the 'path to the cross' is no longer justified in any way if people merely take the 'man Jesus' as a model for their way of life .... Then, as a result of their original sin, they are completely weakened in will and without redemption from their original sin, they are no longer able to walk after Jesus .... You must understand that during your life on earth a constant struggle against all temptations is demanded of you, that in order to reach perfection and to "follow Jesus" .... you need a lot of strength and a strong will, otherwise the aim is unattainable for you .... But as a result of your original sin you are of such weakened will that you would never ever be able to fulfil your earthly task of maturing your soul, precisely because of this weakness of will, and that My adversary would never release you .... You must therefore first be redeemed from this original sin, you must have asked and obtained forgiveness for it, then you will also receive the graces of the work of redemption .... a strengthened will .... and you will succeed in your plan, you will be able to attain perfection, which, however, is completely impossible without redemption .... And that is why I enlighten you men in the time of the end very especially about what preceded your being as man. I instruct you about everything so that it becomes understandable to you why you must acknowledge Jesus Christ as redeemer, why you are not allowed to eliminate Him, if you want to fulfil your purpose of earth life and reach the last aim, the union with Me, which is completely impossible without redemption through Jesus Christ. And who makes an effort to lead a life of love, who listens to My word and lets the power of My word have an effect on him, who fulfils My will, which I announce to him through My word .... who is therefore doer and not just listener of My word, he will truly also be able to understand everything, and he will not doubt, because he is inwardly enlightened by a light and because every question is solved for him, which still moves him. And that is why I can only ever encourage people to live a life of unselfish neighbourly love .... Then full clarity will soon be given to him, and then he will also know about the meaning of redemption through Jesus Christ, and he will strive for it in all seriousness to reach life, which lasts forever ...._>Amen

God's adversary in disguise as an angel of light ....

B.D. 8788 from March 23rd 1964, taken from Book No. 92

So often the adversary will still get in your way when you want to reach Me, and he will try to divert you from the right path by using all means to achieve this end. But believe that I will not leave anyone who keeps his eyes firmly focussed on Me without the strength to resist. Yet he will spread much error and will not slow down in undermining the pure truth either. And he will always try to express himself in the same way as My messengers are active on earth .... He will shroud himself in the garment of an angel of light to divert people from the right track for, although he seemingly speaks on My behalf, he does not voice My Word but influences the people following him to preach their own thoughts as My Word which he, however, has twisted in order to confuse people and make it unsuitable for scrutiny.

You don't know his cunning and trickery; you don't know how he proceeds just to lead people astray. And yet he has many followers, because people want to experience the unusual and are therefore not receptive for the simple and plain Word that originates from Me. And an element of selfish love is also still too strong amongst those who want to serve Me, and this selfish love allows My adversary to interfere, he presents himself as Lord and therefore will be acknowledged by them, because selfish love signifies darkness of spirit, so that they will never be able to differentiate between truth and error .... And he often succeeds in grooming an enslaved living creation and indoctrinating it with much error which then will be unhesitatingly accepted as truth ....

And yet you humans don't have to fall prey to him if you have a strong desire for truth .... if you examine everything with the sincere wish that I shall illuminate your spirit enabling you to separate lies from truth and learn to distinguish between them. Then realisation will suddenly hit you and you will reject everything that is wrong without hesitation .... You will recognise the adversary and take refuge with Me to give you strength and help you to resist. You just have to very sincerely want to live in the only truth, and truly, My adversary will no longer be able to deceive you .... You will see through him and also recognise his instruments, regardless of how well they disguise themselves by wanting to appear as messengers of light .... True light only shines forth from Me and those who desire the true light .... the pure truth. However, a false prophet will always walk close to a true prophet, error will always go side by side with the truth, and the darkness will try to obscure or extinguish the light, and thereby you will also recognise the source of what you are given by a 'prophet' .... When I convey My Word to earth everyone receiving it will avail himself of it and recognise it as the Father's voice because his spirit is awakened .... Anyone recognising it as My Word will not accompany it with something inferior .... And if he does, he demonstrates that he does not recognise My Word, that he is unable to recognise the Father's voice and this also demonstrates his state of spirit .... Can there be anything more delectable than the fact that I speak to you humans Myself .... and if you feel that you are addressed by the Father, then you will not want to miss these very Words of His anymore, but then you will also be able to differentiate when apparently the same is offered to you .... You will miss the strength that flows from My Word, because I want to give you humans much needed strength ....

And therefore I will provide you with the right nourishment for your soul, I will administer the right medicine it needs to recover, and everyone will avail himself of it who has the grace to receive My directly spoken Word through messengers .... But he will be enlightened and detect every wrong current affecting him, because it comes forth from the adversary who is no longer his master if I Am already able to give the bread from heaven, the water of life, to a person ....

Yet My adversary, too, will not exclude you either and not let up in fighting for those he fears to loose, he will move heaven and earth to disguise himself as an angel of light in order to draw people back into his domain who had already pulled away from him. Therefore beware and always appeal to Me to give you the strength to release yourselves from the one who is and will remain My adversary and your enemy for a long time to come ....

Amen

The knowledge of Jesus and His "work of redemption" ....

B.D. 8789 from March 24th 1964, taken from Book No. 92

Seldom only will a man penetrate into deepest spiritual knowledge as long as his soul still dwells in a material outer form, which is not yet completely spiritualized and will always form an obstacle for the radiating through of divine love power in strongest measure, as it goes out from God Himself, which could not be endured by the being before it has overcome all matter and is therefore completely free of it. And to the deepest knowledge belongs now once the mission of Jesus, the work of redemption and the becoming man of God in Him .... Insofar as people can be given information about it, this also happens, but it is only ever possible when God can address a person Himself through His spirit .... Nevertheless, even then it can only ever happen in a form which is comprehensible to the human being, it can only ever be explained to him in such a way as he is receptive to it, for divine wisdom surpasses human intellect and can again only be understood by the spirit in the human being because this is the divine part .... For this reason you will also understand that only 'working of the spirit' can guarantee truthful instruction, and that it then only ever depends on the individual person's degree of love or maturity as to how far he penetrates wisdom from God .... into a knowledge which is and will remain unfathomable to the intellect. Revelations through the spirit are only rarely received (accepted) and the reason for this is that men lack all knowledge about it that God reveals Himself again and again, and as long as such work of God is denied or disputed, the proof is already given that the spirit in man still sleeps, that it is hindered to work, that man has not yet established the intimate union with the father spirit from eternity and therefore also cannot be taught directly by him. But this bond is possible, and it produces the most glorious results by introducing people to extensive knowledge, by the spirit out of God answering every question for the human being, by solving every problem and thus 'introducing him to truth' .... And yet people also claim such an act of grace for themselves, which cannot have an effect on them because the prerequisites are not given for God to manifestly express Himself .... that He reveals Himself and guides truthful knowledge to earth. And it is always just a matter of seriously examining what kind of bond the man believes to have established with God .... And now only Jesus Christ's act of salvation and God's human manifestation in Him can be regarded as certain as touchstone, for these revelations are the most important thing for people to achieve their aim on earth: union with God .... And anyone who describes himself as a vessel of God to whom He reveals Himself but who cannot give an informative explanation about it or whose 'revelations' lack such knowledge should not consider himself a divine vessel which receives God's flow of love and grace in the form of His word. For only a bright light can radiate from God, and every recipient of light must be able to radiate it on again. But if a man has no 'light' to show, then he is also no divine vessel in which the spirit out of God can work .... The commandments of love are certainly the most important, because through the fulfilment of these a person can prepare himself as a divine vessel for His flow of love .... And every man knows about these commandments of love, and every man also has the possibility to fulfil them .... And everyone will always be blessed who seeks to stimulate his fellow human beings to love and therefore can also rescue his fellow human being from spiritual adversity, and every person will also be urged through the voice of conscience, which is likewise God's voice .... be urged to work in love .... But to be able to receive revelations, of deepest spiritual content, man himself must lead a love life, to awaken the spirit in him to life, and then the spirit out of God will also instruct him, who knows about everything, also about the deepest depths of wisdom, who hands out according to the degree of love and maturity of the receiver. And this one will also be introduced to the knowledge about God's human manifestation in Jesus and about Jesus Christ's work of redemption .... Only then is there also an obvious proof of divine work, because no-one can explain and substantiate the problem of redemption out of his intellect, but the intellect of a loving man will also possess the capacity of comprehension, because through love the spirit was already awakened in him, while a man without love will not muster a right understanding for it, rather will be defensive about it when he is given information intellectually. This is also the explanation why so little knowledge is to be found precisely about God's incarnation in Jesus and His great work of mercy, for such knowledge cannot be transmitted in a scholastic way but can only be conveyed to people by God's spirit and requires a suitable vessel which accepts it without contradiction and which has not been filled with wrong knowledge beforehand. and which is also able to comprehend a spiritual good, for which precisely the 'awakening of the spirit' is a prerequisite. Nevertheless, God will always guide pure truth to earth where it is only intimately desired. And where men themselves are no longer able to form themselves to divine vessels for this pure truth, there beings of light take pity on them and enter into an embodiment on earth to serve as mediators between God and men in a time where only pure truth, which starts from God, can still bring rescue to men in their trouble .... whatever will be more often before the end of an earth period, so that still quite many erring souls will be rescued before the end comes ...._>Amen

Immortality ....

B.D. 8790 from March 25th 1964, taken from Book No. 92

You can take it for absolutely granted that you will never be able to perish again, because My strength will forever be indestructible and you are, after all, the emanation of Myself. And if you know this you should also do everything in order to prepare a happy fate for this immortal part of you, as this is entirely up to your power and your will. For you are sentient living beings which will therefore feel both pain as well as bliss but which can be either reduced or increased, which is your own business during your life on earth. Since you have no precise knowledge about your state after your physical death, because you are not even convinced of your soul's life after death, you neglect to do the most important thing in earthly life and do not consider what will continue to go on living .... your soul .... which you thus can and should place into a blissful state if you would fulfil the purpose of your life on earth. The fact of a continuation of life after death cannot be proven to you so as not to enforce your conduct in life and yet, with good will, you can gain an inner conviction that you are immortal, that is, only if you believe in a God and Creator Who brought everything visible to you into being .... For if you closely observe every single work of creation with an open heart you can already recognise that they are small works of wonder brought forth by an exceedingly wise Creative Power. And usually you can also perceive their expediency which testifies to His wisdom and love again .... Thus you can infer that there is a perfect Deity from Whom all works of creation emerged. But perfection knows no limits, neither time nor space are subject to limits for perfection, and thus the Creative Power's products of creative will also correspond to My divine law .... They, too, will be limitless, they will have no end .... but this only ever relates to spiritual creations, to which the human soul belongs .... Visible creations are also spiritual substances which only temporarily remain visible, nevertheless, after they dissolve they continue to exist spiritually, it is merely that due to My will the external form ceases to exist, precisely in order to release what is sheltered within .... And thus you must also regard yourselves, your physical body, only as a temporary external form which shelters the soul, your actual Self .... until death dissolves the external frame and releases the soul within, but this is and remains everlasting. In earthly life you humans can already perceive and follow constant changes in the works of creation, one thing will always arise from another, and everything you see is spiritually animated, a tiny particle of spiritual substance shelters within which constantly grows bigger and thus shelters in increasingly bigger works of creation until, finally, all particles have come together again in the human soul, which was once created by Me as a 'self-aware' being and is therefore also eternally imperishable.

Were you humans able to gain the convinced faith in the immortality of your soul, in life after death, then you would also lead a safe way of life, you would want to prepare a bearable or even blissful fate for your soul and not live your life irresponsibly ....However, in the time of the end people are completely indifferent, what they don't know they don't desire to know either and are satisfied with earthly death, they only pay heed to worldly things and don't strive for spiritual knowledge, in which case the soul can only be in a wretched state after the death of the body and must endure immense pain in the kingdom of the beyond .... I would like to spare you this pain and therefore want to enlighten you time and again about your immortality, which explains everything that happens to you, because I want you to think about where you come from and where you are going to. And if you suddenly must leave the earth, if your soul is unexpectedly separated from your body, it will hardly realise that it has entered the beyond, for it merely finds itself in a different location without knowing that it is no longer alive .... And the more irresponsibly it had conducted itself on earth, the darker its spiritual state will be. Nevertheless, it exists and can never perish again. But it will still have to travel an infinitely long path in order to become a little spiritually enlightened, so that it will gain a glimmer of realisation, all depending on its attitude in the spiritual realm regarding the divine commandment of love, which must also be fulfilled in the beyond before it can be granted a slight improvement and a small amount of knowledge. If, however, it has already gained faith on earth in the soul's life after physical death it will also lead a more responsible way of life and the ascent can process faster and easier ....

Amen

Good Friday ....

B.D. 8791 from March 27th 1964, taken from Book No. 92

None of you people can measure the suffering of the path to the cross and the crucifixion, because for human terms they were unbearable, and only the strength of My love for you made it possible for Me, to accomplish this most difficult sacrifice, that should bring again the reconciliation with the Father for the mankind .... And if you also try to imagine My agony and pain, there will always remain only a weak comparison, because they were superhuman, they were so big, that My sacrifice of the cross will truly been unique and will remain, because a „man“ would not have survived this time of torments, because any other man would not have been able to carry it out, because even a small part would have sufficed to take man’s life. But I wanted to suffer and die, in order to accomplish the equitable atonement for the sins of mankind, I wanted to take all the guilt of the people on Me and offer the atoning sacrifice therefore, to give back the Father’s lost children, who never could have come in His near without this act of salvation .... And I have gone the way .... voluntarily and with love to the Father and to My fallen brothers. I have known about the hard fate, that awaited Me, and therefore suffered twice, because I always saw the picture of the crucifixion, I always saw the way of suffering, that was leading to the cross .... But I fulfilled this mission by free will, and I bought all his souls from the opponent, who were willing, to let themselves redeem by Me. Because I knew the reason of the weakness of men and acquired them all strengthening of their will by My death on the cross, I acquired them countless graces, with their help they could reach the height again, from which they had fallen once in the deepest depths .... I knew, that they never could reach the height alone again, if they would not be helped. And My fallen brothers took pity on Me, because I knew the bliss of nearness to God, I knew, what they had given up and that they were banished forever from the face of the Father, if not the One deleted the great guilt, that they had burdened themselves by their past apostasy from the Father .... But it was a very difficult work, to take upon Himself all the physical and emotional pain in full consciousness of the output, and to go a walk in fear and poverty, to be able to carry out the act of mercy to the end .... Because I was a man with all physical feelings, and My thinking was always more human, when it came to the execution of the last mission, when I was captured and mercilessly condemned to the most cruel death, which the people could think up .... Because for the liquidation of the immense guilt, for liquidation of the primal guilt of the former apostasy from God, the ability to suffer of a human was necessary .... because God, Who was probably as love in Me, could not suffer and thus He Himself retired for the final phase of the work of redemption, what in Me an unspeakable fear triggered and I was driven to the words: My God, My God, why have Thou forsaken Me .... The consciousness of the Father in Me would have been a alleviation from the pain, but the measure of My pain could not be large enough again, in the face of the guilt of all mankind, of the guilt of all fallen original spirits, who I wanted to save from the deep .... As „just man“ I wanted to lead the work to an end, and that is why I gave Myself up to the will of the Father, who also has been My will from the beginning, only in the face of the death I began to sway for a short time, but then I Myself submited completely to His will, as I cried out: „Father, not My will, but Thy will be done ....“ And I have truly brought a hard sacrifice, which neither before nor after a man had accomplished and could accomplish, because it exceeded human strength .... But I received the strength from the love of the Father, because love was in Me until the hour of death .... otherwise I would not have said the words: „Father, forgive them, because they do not know, what they do ....“ And so I remained connected to the Father, although I did not apply the strength of love, to take Me away from the sacrificial death .... Once you will also be able to experience this My death on the cross, when you live in the kingdom of light, and only then you will know about My enormous love, which was meant for My brothers, which took everything on itself, to give them back their life, who had chosen death voluntarily. And everyone can also come back to life now, who recognizes Me by free will as his savior and wants, that I have died also for him, that he also belongs to the redeemed, for whom I have shed my blood and who find forgiveness for their guilt of sin by My blood, that kept them separate from the Father, who I therefore absolved by My death on the cross ....

A good farmer scatters good seeds ....

B.D. 8792 from March 28th 1964, taken from Book No. 92

Much spiritual knowledge is offered to you, you are provided with an abundance of seeds .... you should only ever cultivate the fields which are the human hearts to whom you should bring My Word .... That is the work those of you, who have offered yourselves as My labourers, shall do in My vineyard .... Only good seed can bring forth good fruit, and therefore I provide you with seed which is not like any other .... I convey the truth to you from above and you can endorse all of it before the world because nothing exists which could surpass this spiritual knowledge. Because it originates from Me .... Consider these Words: I speak to you Myself and impart knowledge upon you that corresponds to the truth and that cannot be given to you by anyone else but Me. And yet, humanity treats this Word of Mine half-heartedly, it is not visibly affected by the exceptional origin apart from a few people who recognise its value and are blissfully happy about the grace of being allowed to receive this Word of Mine .... But they will draw great benefit from it; they will gain spiritual success because My Word incorporates the strength which helps the human soul to progress. The task you have to accomplish on earth is to regain the maturity the soul possessed in the beginning when it came forth from Me as a perfect being .... For the sake of this task you travel the earthly path as a human being .... You can think and act of your own free will .... consequently, you can certainly reach your goal of becoming perfect. Nevertheless, your thoughts, intentions and actions can also move in the wrong direction by heading towards My adversary, then you will have missed your purpose of earthly life .... And in order to clearly show you the right path I convey My Word down to Earth and speak to you, directly or indirectly, and leave it up to you to accept My Word and to fulfil My will which is expressed in My Word .... or to reject My Word. In that case, however, you will not reach your goal, and then you are like fallow fields which cannot bear fruit because they lack good seeds, because they only contain stones, shards and weeds, where nothing can grow unless the fields are first cleared, reclaimed and prepared to receive good seeds.

I Am a good farmer and use the plough everywhere; I break and turn over the ground, I clear away all weeds before I scatter My seeds in order to be able to reap a good harvest one day. If, however, the weeds are not removed first, they will also devalue the good seed .... It will be unable to develop and be overgrown by the weeds. What I mean is that even the pure truth, which you are offered through My Word from above, does not tolerate being accompanied by erroneous teachings, for misguided teachings will soon overshadow the truth and anyone who cannot detach himself from error, who does not remove it from his heart first, will not recognise the pure truth as such either, and thus it will not touch his soul and mature it. Always remember the work of a farmer and act accordingly. Liberate yourselves from all misguided thoughts, dispose of all wrong seeds placed in you by ignorant people who claim to be vineyard labourers and yet were not appointed by Me for their service. You should gratefully accept the right seeds, embed it deep in your hearts and let it mature and, truly, the harvest will be a good fruit, for the seed you receive from Me Myself is pure truth which will lead you to the goal, to Me, Who is the Truth Itself. Anyone who has offered his service to Me will also be introduced to his work by Me, I will place him where his work will be successful, I will entrust him with a task which corresponds to his ability and he will also accomplish it according to My will. Time and again you need to be told that you will never be lacking the right teaching material, that you will constantly be able to accept it from Me, and since I Myself want to achieve a good harvest, it will also always be up to Me to give you everything that guarantees a good harvest .... Yet you must also seek to remove all faults and imperfections from yourselves, you must prepared your hearts to receive the gifts of grace I distribute in abundance .... And you must know that you humans can only be led to perfection by the pure truth and that this truth can only originate from Me Myself .... But I love you and will always bestow upon you what you need in order to mature in your souls ....

Amen

Do 'non-fallen' spirits attain childship to God? ....

B.D. 8793a from March 29th 1964, taken from Book No. 92

You will receive an answer to every question in order to disprove every misguided point of view, so that you will not remain ignorant when you desire the correct information: The deification of My created beings is the goal I set Myself with My Creation and which I will certainly achieve one day. Everything that came forth from Me was supremely perfect, the beings I externalised as independent beings were like Me, they were images of Myself .... Nevertheless, they were only ever My creations .... which were unable to be any different than I had created them. They were My living creations .... But I wanted to have children next to Me. For this reason I released them from My will when they were to prove their will as to whether they would retain their perfection despite the option of turning it in the opposite direction. This passed test of will also subsequently presumed that the being was subject to all temptations which it had to resist, for all strength requires the resistance upon which it can prove itself. Understand this correctly: each being was confronted by temptation because it possessed free will which was able to choose either direction. Thus the first being .... Lucifer, the bearer of light .... which My greater than great love had externalised, was the first which was supposed to provide Me with the proof that it wanted to keep the supreme perfection it was granted. It was so exceptionally permeated by My strength of love that it revelled in absolute bliss and thus used the constantly inflowing strength for the creation of equal beings because, in its perfection, it was able to be just as creatively active as I Am .... And this process of creating beings lasted for eternities .... they were therefore always 'living creations' which could not possibly be anything but supremely perfect .... Then I expected My first-created being, Lucifer, merely to acknowledge Me Myself as the source of strength .... thus I expected of him to present Me to his created beings as the One from Whom he himself had also emerged .... But since he had free will, it was also possible for him to ignore My will, which he did by presenting himself to the beings as the highest being, because they were unable to behold Me but he was visible to them in all his glory .... Thus he did not pass the test of will and confronted the created beings as a tempter .... He tried to influence their will to likewise be in opposition to Me: And he was very successful .... For many of these beings, despite their abundance of light, despite utmost realisation, acknowledged him as the Lord of eternity and renounced Me .... precisely because I was not visible to them. And these apostatised beings, having fallen into the deepest abyss of their own choice, must first reach higher spheres again, they must try to deify themselves of their own free will, which is indeed possible with My help. Once they have reached this goal they will have become God's children, perfect beings, who aspired to and achieved this perfection themselves.

But a large proportion of originally created spirits also remained loyal to Me, they resisted all temptations by Lucifer; thus, they passed their test of will when they had to decide whom they should choose as their Lord. So what is their situation in regards to the childship to God? You must know that these beings enjoy utmost bliss, for they did not forfeit their perfection and are constantly permeated by My strength of love, which makes them incredibly happy .... But on account of their perfection they are also knowledgeable; they know My plan of Salvation, the wretchedness of the fallen original spirits is evident to them and their love is so great that they also take part in the work of redemption in order to advance the return of the once fallen spirits. This redemptive work, however, requires eternities .... which you humans are incapable of estimating .... And time and again the original spirits in the stage of a human being are in need of active help, for although they shelter the divine spark of love within themselves which enables their return, they are so weak that they require assistance. This is granted to them by those beings of light which embody themselves on earth for this very purpose and therefore also take the path through the abyss where they are subjected to all temptations and consciously pass their test of will, which lets them become a child so that it can create and work completely freely next to Me and not only work according to My will .... even though these non-fallen spirits are also granted unlimited bliss. It is the immense number of fallen beings which requires eternities until the goal is reached .... Consequently, there are also endless opportunities for the beings of light, having remained faithful to Me, to achieve the childship to God through overcoming the abyss they voluntarily enter for the salvation of the originals spirits, and this signifies constantly higher levels of beatitude for the original spirit which once remained faithful to Me .... For no limitation exists for Me, and thus I can and will make My children happy to an inconceivable degree .... A countless number of original spirits have already offered to take the path across earth, who mainly had the salvation of their fallen brothers at heart; hence they did not embody themselves on earth for selfish reasons .... they did not walk through the abyss for the sake of the 'childship to God' but nevertheless attained this childship to God and returned to Me as My children. The only advantage the beings which remained faithful to Me have over their fallen brothers is the fact they will never need to take the path through the creations of earth and that they will never fail in earthly life either, that they must certainly resist all temptations but that they will always have much strength at their disposal, because love is within them and they will not relinquish it during their life on earth.

However, the people in whom such original spirits are embodied are unaware of it and often have to travel very difficult earthly paths. They fight and serve and reach their goal with certainty .... the complete unification with Me on earth which, although it was not interrupted, must nevertheless be sincerely aspired to by every person, because it is and will remain the goal, because the right decision of will of every being is to profess Me freely. All of My 'created' beings will be My 'children' one day, for a concept of time does not exist for Me, even if eternities will still pass by .... I will definitely achieve what I have set Myself as a goal. Nevertheless, you humans should not believe that these beings which remained with Me can be called less happy, for their will is already so inclined that their love for Me is exceedingly powerful and constantly growing, and I reward this loyalty to Me accordingly, but neither will I deny them the bliss which is guaranteed to them through the childship to God .... The whole sequence of events from the very beginning and for all eternity happens in lawful order .... I cannot proceed contrary to My eternal order .... Once I have designed a plan it will be carried out because My will is irrevocable ....

Amen

Do 'non-fallen' spirits attain childship to God? ....

B.D. 8793b from March 30th 1964, taken from Book No. 92

(Supplement regarding B.D. 8793a)

The beings which were once emanated by Me carried My will as long as they were connected to Me with a heartfelt bond of love, as long as I was able to permeate them with My love and thus no other will but My own was able to be in them, that is, their will and thoughts concurred with My will and thoughts. And yet the beings had free will, precisely because they were created by Me and were profoundly perfect beings that had the same will as Me in them without having been under duress. Hence they had free will from the start but it was not different from Mine .... And this similarity of will lasted for eternities, since it was not possible to disturb this similarity of their will with Mine as long as these beings were permeated by My flow of love .... Only when Lucifer, the first-created original spirit, used his faculty of thought wrongly, when he no longer accepted My Word flowing to him with a craving for love and thereby slightly weakened the flow of My strength of love, did the free will in him begin to express itself without being prevented by Me, and only when he began to reject My strength of love increasingly stronger was it possible to speak of an expression of his free will which, until then, had completely concurred with My will despite it being free. At that time My first-created image had to make a free decision, because I only expected the test of will of him when his will started to deviate from Mine because he rejected the flow of My love's strength .... And the same happened with all beings which our mutual strength of love created .... which then again were prompted by Lucifer to express their will, which was free and likewise concurred with Mine for as long as they received My flow of love unimpeded. They, too, began to misuse their thinking ability and associate more with Lucifer's will, and I did not prevent their free will for I wanted them to openly test their will as to with whom they wanted to stay. Thus free will only became active when the beings closed themselves to My love, because before this their will, despite being free, completely concurred with the One from Whom they emerged.

The being therefore only proved its freedom of will when it rebelled against Me, since prior to that its great love prevented it from wilfully opposing Me, for love will always share the same will as Mine .... It has to be said that every living creation is undeniably in possession of free will as a divine attribute because it was in My image .... but it had not used this free will for eternities because it was completely as one with Me and continuously stayed within the circuit of My flow of love, which meant that it did not leave the eternal order .... Only Lucifer's change of thinking led to a change of his will, and I gave free reign to both his wrong thoughts as well as his wrong will, which .... after an infinitely long time .... affected his created beings increasingly more .... and thus the will divided and 'free will' openly manifested itself .... Therefore, when it is said that the beings were unable to want differently than was My will, then it required the state in the beginning when they only accepted My will because of their exceedingly great love for Me and as a consequence of My overwhelmingly powerful emanation of love .... A different will than My own was not possible in this state, nevertheless, in the beginning the beings were not subject to a state of coercion, instead I only externalised each being as proof of supreme perfection. However, the fact that Lucifer and a large proportion of his followers had fallen and experienced immense wretchedness, made becoming a child of God possible .... It is just that the being had to go through the deepest abyss and wage such an immense battle on its path of return to Me that it thereby acquired the right of a child .... whereas the non-fallen beings enjoy uninterrupted heavenly bliss and yet are not excluded from equally striving for and attaining the childship to God; all the same, I truly know what I bestow upon My living creations and which paths they must take in order to reach the highest goal .... Nevertheless, it is always the unification with Me which leads to their greatest bliss, and I Am so close to My children that they are able to feel Me and yet so far away that they will constantly strive towards Me and time and again may receive My illumination of love as evidence of My presence ....

Amen

Resurrection to life ....

B.D. 8794 from March 30th 1964, taken from Book No. 92

You, too, will rise from the dead, that is, you will only leave your earthly body but the soul will enter the spiritual kingdom .... And I gave you the evidence of this, I let the process take place visibly in Me, for the whole world was to take note of the fact that I had overcome death, that there need be no death for the human being who has procured the state of maturity for his soul on earth, that it can enter the kingdom of light as spiritualized after its departure from this earth .... But this 'resurrection into life' must always be preceded by redemption through Jesus Christ, otherwise the soul will remain a slave to death, for as long as it is still in My adversary's power it has no life, it is bound and completely inactive, it is truly a state of death in which an unredeemed soul finds itself. But I acquired eternal life for it through My death on the cross .... It no longer needs to fear death, for I gave it life which lasts forever, I merely release the soul from its body of flesh and it can enter the kingdom on the other side in freedom, the soul rises from its grave, it enters a state of light which is completely opposite to the bound state before. That is why I therefore gave men a proof through My resurrection on the third day, because no-one believes in it that there is a further life after death, and because they therefore led their earth life indifferently and lukewarmly and did nothing to secure a resurrection in light for the soul. And I had to prove it to them through the fact that also My body rose, that it broke the fetters of death, that I emerged from the grave to appear to Mine again and to prove to them the fulfilment of My promise that I will rise again on the third day. All of you men are to believe that you are not only created for earth, that with your death not everything is over, but that the actual life only then begins. And you should shape your nature in such a way that you still spiritualize yourselves in earthly life, that not only the souls but also your bodies can rise again out of the grave after death, that they can enter into true life, and that such is possible, for this I gave you the proof .... The ignorance of those men at the time of My walk on earth, their spiritual blindness was so great that they themselves knew nothing about purpose and aim of their earth existence, and they thought to be extinguished again with the moment of death, and accordingly they also only lived purely worldly directed sense; they did not think of their soul's salvation and did not fear the responsibility before their God and creator. And that is why it was necessary to give exactly these men a proof, which indeed was also only accepted by the good-willed as credible, while the others tried to explain to themselves in all possible ways the disappearance of My body out of the grave. But My own were strengthened in their faith, to whom I appeared as I had predicted to them and whom I also sent out into the world with a mission .... To carry My gospel out into the world, to proclaim the teaching of love and to make people believe in life after death and to preach about My resurrection from the grave to all who were of good will and listened to My disciples. Men were to be strengthened in their own responsibility for the guidance of their life; they were to consciously strive for a resurrection after death, and as soon as they believed in Me and in My work of redemption, which I have accomplished for sinful mankind, they could also believe in My resurrection and now also go towards their own resurrection without fear and in trust in Me, Who will raise them up one day in eternity. Because I Myself have given you the promise: Whoever believes in Me will live for eternity .... And even if his body dies .... his I, his soul, cannot die, it only changes its abode and enters the kingdom of the beyond, but which is now constituted according to his way of life .... And if I Myself can awaken the soul from its sleep of death, then it will also be granted a life of bliss .... For as soon as it believes in Me it has also found Me in earthly life and carried its sins under My cross .... And then it is free of all guilt and enters the kingdom of the beyond carefree, where it will now live and can never ever lose this life either ...._>Amen

God's love will never end! ....

B.D. 8795 from April 1st 1964, taken from Book No. 92

Again and again eternal love bends down to earth to address its children, to prove its presence to them, to give them strength and comfort and to strengthen them on their pilgrimage across earth .... And this love will never end, it will never cease to give itself away, for all creatures have emerged from it and will also be eternally sustained by it and flow through it with strength .... And also none of the creatures will be able to detach itself from its creator, even if it has striven willfully for a separation from Him .... It remains eternally in existence; it can no longer pass away and is therefore also eternally connected with the creator. But eternal love can only then express itself when the creature gives itself to it without restraint, when it opens itself to receive the blissful ray of love, which touches the being exceedingly effectively. Because love is like a stream of fire, which consumes all impurity, what adheres to the being, which once had rebelled against Him out of Whom it had emerged. But it is also a light, which illuminates all darkness, which illuminates everything and lets it recognize .... And love is a power through which the being becomes able to again reshape itself out of an imperfect state to highest perfection .... Love therefore speaks to you, and it must bring about everything: purification, enlightenment and reshaping of that, what originally emerged in perfection out of My will .... And that is why My love will apply to you unchangingly and unceasingly; it will never ever let go of you, because it wants to put you into the state of highest happiness, and therefore supplies you with everything (what you still lack), since you as man are still imperfect beings, but your aim is and will remain to (again) reach perfection. If My love would ever diminish then it would have to result in you being eternally unable to unite with Me, for you are still in a state of distance from Me, which you can only bridge or reduce through My infinitely profound love, because you are too weak of your own accord to bring about even the slightest change in your nature. But My love keeps you enclosed, and it does not dismiss a single being, but it will constantly take care that it progresses on its course to height. Only your free will also does not touch My love, and that means that you yourselves must accept My love, that you yourselves must return it to Me and bear witness in full devotion to Me that you have given up all resistance against Me. Then you make a strong (radiating through Me) love power possible, and your way to perfection also leads to the aim .... Because where now My love can have an effect, there is no more failure; there is no weakness, no sinking back to the deep. There is only always firmer connection to Me because love pushes to love. But My love can only radiate there where a heart is willing to love and also shows love towards Me. Then no failure is to be feared anymore, because love is power, and power is able to cover everything, also the steep way up, which requires power, but which no man will lack, whose life is a walk in unselfish love. For he is also constantly addressed by eternal love .... I will constantly be in contact with him (keep in contact) .... I Myself will reveal Myself to him because My love seeks contact with My children, and every created being has then become a child when it walks across earth and its love has driven it to Me, (has let it find Me) when My love could now seize it and give it evidence of My presence .... And this alone pursues My love, to give bliss to all My creatures, to make them happy with My love and to help them to the last perfection still on earth, because you (all) have come out of My love, and eternally I will no longer release you out of My love ...._>Amen

Every person has to accept the consequences of his knowledge ....

B.D. 8796 from April 2nd 1964, taken from Book No. 92

Remember that I do not care for superficiality, that I only value what comes from the bottom of your heart .... As soon as you believe that you honour Me with formal actions, you perform a kind of idolatry from which, however, you should detach yourselves in order be even more sincerely affiliated with Me .... in order to allow My presence into your hearts, which is completely independent from external formalities and customs and can only take place when the heart alone is speaking.

I keep telling you that you have distorted Jesus’ pure teaching, that you intertwined it with human concepts and now attach greater importance to this human work than to My Gospel, which only embraces the two commandments of love .... For anyone who lives with love vouches for My teaching. But irrespective of how conscientiously you comply with all the human requirements you added to My Gospel .... if the love I taught you is not in you such practices are completely worthless, they do not provide the least bit of benefit to your soul, they only confuse you humans such that you believe to have done your duty sufficiently. Yet every dutiful action is already utterly worthless because it excludes the human will. And even if human requirements are voluntarily observed, they nevertheless cannot comprise the blessing which a single act of love incorporates. But anyone who feels sincere love for Me brings all his thoughts to Me, he enters into a heartfelt dialogue with Me when he is on his own .... he will not need an atmosphere, which is more likely to stop him from truly thinking of Me.

An ignorant person acts accordingly and thus can also be forgiven for his lack of knowledge .... but someone who is in possession of truth, who knows that external practices and customs are worthless before Me .... especially if they serve to deceive people’s thoughts .... will also endeavour to free himself from them. He will evaluate every inner experience and all knowledge as activity of love, and his bond with Me, which can only be established in his heart, will become ever more intimate.

I Myself certainly founded My church on earth, which is built on the rock of faith, but I founded no organisation. This is already clear from that fact that they are outwardly recognisable and gain greater external acceptance, but they can leave the inner person untouched if he does not sincerely strive for Me and the truth. Only My Word itself shall be the substance of a community, and by way of the Word people should fulfil the commandments of love .... by way of love attain a living faith .... and thereby also an innermost bond with Me. Then they will be members of the church I Myself founded on earth.

Now I try to give the truth to all people but only few accept it. But anyone who accepts it will soon acquire profound knowledge, and from this knowledge he should also accept the consequences because .... no one can serve two masters .... However, when a structure is built which opposes this knowledge then it is obviously the result of My adversary’s influence, which is proven by every external process that serves to give a completely false idea of My actual will. And then the enlightened human being also has to detach himself from My adversary’s fabrications. Anyone who cannot accept the truth sent to Him by Me due to his own lack of love or his low degree of maturity will understandably not want to relinquish his error either. To the one who knows, however, falsehood is recognisable and remains as such, thus the work of My adversary, and then he (who knows) only complies with worldly requirements. But then it is not a religious service, it is a mere worldly matter, a consideration for other people who, however, should also be guided into truth and not be strengthened in their wrong belief.

It is certainly difficult to proceed against a tradition, and it will not be successful anymore either. Only a few will free themselves because their desire for truth is remarkably strong. I Myself, however, cannot make any compromises, I can only clearly inform you about error and truth, and then you have to decide for yourselves and demonstrate your decision.

Always remember that it is an exceptional gift of grace to guide you into pure truth, that every human being can certainly use this gift of grace but that, on the other hand, it is an immense deed of love on My part when My spirit speaks so audibly inside a person that he can identify it, so that I can transmit the truth to him in accordance with his will for truth. And this gift of grace shall also be utilised such that a person accepts the truth and even supports it against those who are still tied to traditional or organisational regulations. Only someone detached from these is also freed from My adversary, otherwise there is still a risk that my adversary will try to win him back, that he will weaken his will. However, I will never let go of a human being again once he has submitted himself to Me, I will not leave any person to My adversary again once he has sincerely chosen Me.

Amen

God only created beings of equal perfection .... I.

B.D. 8797 from April 3rd 1964, taken from Book No. 92

I only emanated one being .... Lucifer, the bearer of light .... whom I created for Myself in order to give Myself and My love to him, and which therefore was shaped in My image which came forth from Me in supreme perfection, which arose before Me as a thought and already existed in its abundance of light and strength .... as could not otherwise be possible because nothing imperfect could emerge from Me. I created this being for My own happiness, because My fundamental nature is love and love constantly wants to give pleasure, but prior to this no spiritual being existed which was able to receive My love. It was a mirror image of Myself, I saw Myself in My externalised being, it was, to some extent, My second Self, which likewise unified love, wisdom and might within itself so that it could not be anything else but I Myself, and which therefore was also inexpressibly happy because it was constantly infused by My strength of love. I wanted an identical being next to Me because My creative strength made Me exceedingly happy and I wanted to provide a being with the same happiness in order to take pleasure in its bliss. My fundamental substance is love, and this love, in turn, is strength. My strength of love was unable to remain inactive and constantly brought spiritual creations into being. Yet no-one apart from Me was able to take pleasure in these creations and this motivated Me to create a likeness of Myself .... a being which had the same nature as I Myself, with the difference that it had a beginning, whereas I Am everlasting. I enjoyed beatitudes beyond measure by radiating My strength of love into My created being which then, permeated by the same strength of love, also wanted to be creatively active and was able to do so because it was completely free. It was utterly absorbed in My love, a constant exchange of love took place, for the love I gave was returned to Me by the being in the same way. The being was fond of Me and totally engrossed with Me. And that resulted in unimpeded illumination with love, unimpeded illumination with strength which wanted to become active. And since the creation of the first spirit of light had given Me extreme happiness, its bliss also consisted of the creation of the same beings .... thus from both of our strength of love a countless host of the same beings emerged, which were all supremely perfect and exceedingly blissful. This process has already been explained to you though My revelations. And yet you keep asking questions as to who really was the creator of the elevated and highest beings of light, because in your state as a human being you already have a different concept of the originally created spirit of light, since you are no longer in possession of full realisation as a result of sin.

However, you forget that all original spirits have their origin in Me and the bearer of light .... that the latter used My strength for the creation of all spiritual beings .... that you therefore came forth from Me and from him, but his will used My strength which flowed to him without restriction. And therefore you will also understand that the bearer of light had an exceptional position, because he was the only one who was called into life by Me. Although he certainly lost his strength and power through his apostasy from Me, he lost his realisation and fell into the deepest abyss, he is nevertheless still the same originally created spirit, which is now as active as a direct opposite as he was formerly devoted to Me with burning love and enjoyed supreme beatitudes. All other fallen beings were dissolved in their fundamental substance, the once emanated strength was reshaped into the most manifold creations. The bearer of light, however, having lost all light, remained the being he was from the start, he merely turned into the opposite, so that he became My opposite pole and now serves Me as an opposite pole in the return of the fallen spiritual beings. For these spiritual beings had once been put to the test to acknowledge Me or him, and they followed him and became lost. And now they will be tested time and again, for My existing adversary insists on his claim on the fallen beings, just as I will not surrender them since they emerged from My strength of love, but the being itself makes the decision. My adversary asserts his rights and influences the beings in a negative sense, while I try to win the beings over for Me through influencing them in a positive way. And countless beings support Me; they, too, were created by him but they recognised Me as the source of strength from which he also originated. And they have remained in beatitude because they still receive My strength of love continuously and are active in a creative and shaping way. However, self-aware beings were only externalised by Me and the bearer of light in unison, and these self-aware beings will indeed continue to exist forever. Only the once fallen beings lost their self-awareness for a certain period of time in order to be able to accomplish the ascent from the abyss again in a dissolved state. But they will receive their self-awareness again as soon they have to pass their final test of will as a human being. But My spiritual adversary must be taken into account at all times, for he remained what he was .... and he will continue to remain who he is for infinitely long periods of time; even so, one day he will change his nature again and reshape himself into love, and he, too, will be blissfully happy without limitation again. Then My love will permeate him again, as it was in the beginning.

God only created beings of equal perfection .... II.

B.D. 8798 from April 4th 1964, taken from Book No. 92

(Continuation of no. 8797)

However, after the creation of My first being of light nothing of inferior value emerged from Me Myself and this being of light. Your human thinking is still limited because you are not perfect yet, and thus the thought occurred to you that the beings, having emerged from our mutual love, cannot be put on par with the first-created being. But this thought is misguided, because it was the same strength and the same will of love which brought them to life, therefore there were only ever supremely perfect beings .... true images of Myself .... You humans indeed compare your fellow human beings, you can detect more mature and immature traits of nature, consequently you also assume that you can make such evaluations regarding the originally created beings. But surely you understand that such valuations are not appropriate concerning the creations which came forth from Me and My love. All creations of a spiritual nature were only of the highest perfection, and in particular the created beings were of supreme perfection. The fact that part of them nevertheless fell does not entitle you to assume that these 'fallen' beings were less perfect and fell because their creator Lucifer, due to his recurring rejection of My strength of love, had created inferior beings. For even a number of the first beings which were created by our will of love followed him when he turned away from Me and proceeded towards the abyss. Nor did the individual beings' strength of will differ; it was, however, free .... and that explains everything. For freedom knows no limitations, and a free will must be able to develop in all directions. The individual beings' wrong thinking is the second explanation for the fall. The ability to think also allowed for wrong thinking, to wrongly interpret My Word which the beings, due to their constant illumination of love, heard within themselves. They were not compelled to interpret the Word only in one direction .... by virtue of their faculty of thought they were also able to apply a different meaning to it and so they did when they rejected My love, for thereby they also lost their power of perception and their thinking became confused. In addition, the limitless flow of strength of love made them arrogant, so that in their abundance of strength they believed themselves to have the same power, so that their love for their Creator therefore diminished and the being more or less made demands .... which was demonstrated by their desire to visibly present Myself to the beings .... They believed themselves to be entitled to it, and this wrong way of thinking was transferred on to them by My first-created being. It expressed this desire despite the fact of knowing full well that it had to remain unfulfilled were My created beings to continue to exist. Thus it can certainly not be said that any of the fallen beings has merely been a victim of its creator's will, for every single being had the right of self-determination and was also in possession of brightest realisation. But every fallen being became spiritually arrogant and forgot, or refused to acknowledge, that it had originated from Me .... that I therefore had been its Creator and Father, against Whom its revolt was the worst sin which the being would never ever be able to redeem by itself again. All beings were created in equal perfection, and the fact that a number of equally created beings remained loyal to Me is already proof in itself of a greater than greater guilt .... they only did not relinquish their love for Me .... whereas those which had 'fallen' rejected My love, and this was their immense original sin which was subsequently intended to be redeemed by One Who belonged to the beings which remained faithful to Me. The fallen beings cannot be excused by some kind of imperfection, with lacking perception, less illumination or a weak will. They had the same nature as those who remained loyal to Me, yet in awareness of their immeasurable strength they arrogantly no longer accepted My strength of love and were thereby also deprived of all strength. They must laboriously gain strength again if they want to become what they were in the beginning. Any kind of imperfection would have been an excuse for a being's apostasy, but this did not exist, and when Lucifer saw the countless multitudes of created beings in brightest illumination and supreme strength which had emerged from his will by using My strength he exalted himself above Me because he was unable to behold Me, but he himself was visible in his magnificence to the countless multitudes of spirits.

However, untold original spirits remained faithful to Me, they were created to be exactly the same as the fallen spirits and not advantaged by Me in any way, they merely returned their infinite love to Me which permeated them and which they constantly received from Me and thus became increasingly more blissful, whereas the love of the fallen beings became a selfish love which no longer wanted to please but only wanted to take. This process is and will remain inexplicable to you humans because it was a spiritual process which can only be understood by the spirit; nevertheless, the circumstances which motivated Me into bringing the material world and its creations into being can be roughly explained to you, and time and again I will try to enlighten you, as far as your intellect is able to grasp it, and correct any misguided opinion, since one single misguided thought is already enough for you to construct a wrong edifice of ideas which you will no longer be able to dismantle and yet you will be far removed from the truth. You would also do well not to brood over things which are irrelevant for your soul's salvation .... which only show some kind of craving for knowledge, the satisfaction of which does not contribute in the slightest towards attaining full maturity of soul. For what you need to know will be conveyed to you by Me, yet always on condition that your own maturity of soul will determine the measure I hand out ....

Yet you shall always know that I Am supremely perfect, that everything is based on My love, wisdom and might and that no imperfections can be present when this bond with Me exists. And this existed at the creation of the beings, for the being I externalised .... the bearer of light .... was most intimately devoted to Me and was therefore able to receive boundless beatitudes through the influx of My strength of love. And it used this strength of love again in accordance with My will, because its will was in line with Mine as long as we were united by deepest love. Every act of creation, however, necessitates the flow of My strength of love, and therefore every created being had to be called perfect when it was brought into life. The fact that it then changed into the opposite and became an imperfect being was purely the result of its free will, which was the same as Mine as long as the being's love belonged to Me. When it resisted My love it had to leave the eternal order and continued to possess brightest illumination until it decided to turn away from Me for good. Only then did it lose its realisation, only then its spirit darkened, and only then did it become My opposite. It was no longer a divine being but adopted all the qualities of the one who first revoked his love for Me and became My adversary. Henceforth it forfeited its perfection, it became poorly shaped and was hostile minded towards Me, My strength of love was no longer able to touch it, and thus all spiritual substances hardened which I subsequently reshaped into material creations .... into the complete opposite which it had been in the very beginning. Nevertheless, this fallen spiritual being always has the opportunity to regain its original state if it is willing to abandon its resistance to Me and once again voluntarily allows itself to be illuminated by My strength of love. The apostasy from Me happened out of free will, and the return to Me must therefore also take place out of free will. Then the being will be and remain infinitely happy again ....

Amen

Love .... light is truth, and truth makes free ....

B.D. 8799 from April 5th 1964, taken from Book No. 92

Who cannot grasp it that the love commandment must first be fulfilled to become knowing, to reach knowledge, to stand in truth, he will be able to exhaust his intellect no matter how much, the results of his research will be to be valued equal to zero, because he cannot produce proofs of truth for these, when it is about spiritual secrets, which can only be revealed to him from the spiritual kingdom. But a man without love will not first occupy himself with spiritual thoughts; he will be completely taken up by the world and have no interest for anything else.

And this is the explanation of people's spiritual blindness in the end-times where the world comes to the fore and love has completely grown cold. They are two entirely different realms .... the earthly world and the spiritual kingdom .... and anyone who is in the former will hardly be able to enter the other .... unless he kindles the flame of love within himself, which then brightly illuminates him and also gives him knowledge about everything. But no matter how much man researches and intellectually strives to get behind the truth, he walks in densest darkness as long as he does not let divine love shine into him, as long as the ray of the divine sun of love does not illuminate him, as long as the truth is not imparted to him directly from the spiritual kingdom.

It can truly be spoken of a light, which is kindled to all seekers, whose will is good and who turn to Him Himself, that He makes them free from their ignorance, from their spiritual blindness, when they turn to the eternal light itself to be enlightened by Him. And that is the will of your God and creator, your father from eternity, that you let yourselves be taught by Him directly, that you therefore let yourselves be illuminated by the divine love light and can now again radiate this to your fellowmen, because the light will make you happy. Light is truth, and truth makes you free. It makes you free from him who once had plunged you into darkness and also on earth still wants to keep you in darkness. But if you accept pure truth from God directly, then the opponent has lost his power and his right to you, and then you again enter the state of recognition, in which you moved in the beginning.

Where light is, all barriers are also invalid; you can see every fetter and courageously proceed against the opponent; you are no longer exposed to his intrigues, from which you often cannot escape, as long as you still walk in darkness yourselves and do not recognize the cunning and trickery of your opponent. And that is why you are only to desire light deep in the heart; you are to seek to escape from darkness; you are to desire truth with all your senses, and it will also be granted to you. But you are not to be content with what fellowmen offer you as truth, if you do not know about its origin, because what man has won through his intellect, what he has acquired through study of knowledge, that you will not be able to represent as truth with conviction, because the intellect alone is not able to fathom things, which go beyond his human thinking.

And this is the kind of knowledge we are talking about when we speak of 'truth'. What can be fathomed earthly with the intellect can be proven and has to be accepted or rejected .... but what lies outside of earthly thinking cannot be proven and can nevertheless correspond to pure truth if it is requested by the one Who knows everything and Who is able to give you knowledge about everything in the form of an inner speech which can be mentally heard and also written down. To now possess such knowledge is delicious and alone worth striving for on earth because such knowledge means intimate union with God and therefore also at the same time that man has reached his earth life purpose: the intimate union with God. Because pure truth starts from God and is passed on to a man, who does not use his intellect to get behind divine secrets, but alone lights the love ray in his heart and is now constantly fed by divine love, which expresses itself in form of the divine word and therefore gives brightest knowledge to man. Without love no man can reach truth, but without truth also never find out of darkness, out of the fetters of the opponent, who is the prince of darkness. Truth alone makes free, and truth requires love, because love defeats the opponent, who flees love and therefore also man, who lives in love and this now becomes free out of his power.

That love is the fire, out of which light shines, must also make you understand that out of the fire of love the light of wisdom emerges and that without love no man can ever reach wisdom, to a truthful knowledge, which starts from God, also again leads to Him. That is why love remains the first and most important thing, and the commandments of love must be fulfilled, if man or his soul once wants to reach the eternal light, to God, Who is love, light and wisdom in Himself and therefore one cannot be thought without the other ...._>Amen

Reply to a question about ‘Yogis’ ....

B.D. 8800 from April 6th 1964, taken from Book No. 92

Your appeal to Me will never be in vain when you come to Me in spiritual distress .... and you are in spiritual distress when you are moved by questions which you cannot answer yourselves, and when answers are demanded of you who work as My messengers on earth. There is no question I could not answer since no other being exists but Me Who knows everything and can therefore also instruct you appropriately. However, it also necessitates a certain degree of maturity to understand what I want to explain to you, because you need a small amount of spiritual knowledge already .... you need to know the reason and purpose of your existence as human beings on this earth. Thus you must have received the first piece of information already, then you will also understand what follows.

You know that beings of light, non-fallen beings, also live on earth at all times. They have the constant mission to inform their fellow human beings of a God and Creator and let them know of His will. Because the same happens everywhere on earth, people indeed have a spiritual concept but they rarely live in truth and will always obey human laws because they have a certain amount of fear of the Power which is figuratively presented to them. They are hardly ever taught the pure truth because error is predominant in all places on earth. And therefore spiritual mentors will arise among humanity everywhere .... people who were given the task by Me of conveying the belief in a God to their fellow human beings and of informing them of My will, so that every human being will be able to lead a way of life which will help his soul to achieve full maturity. And the more primitive people are, the stronger are the beings of light which embody themselves amongst them. But these beings live life on earth as human beings, they, too, have to struggle for comprehension first, they have to live a life of love, since love is the only strength they need to become true leaders of their fellow human beings. This concerns the question: do people receive supernatural strength, which they unfold to perform remarkable actions, from Me or from My adversary? Love assures their flow of strength from Me, for as soon as they live with love they are also closely united with Me and will then be able to accomplish whatever they want. But they can also acquire strength from below, they are equally supported by My adversary who will provide them with strength if they are not pure spirits of love .... thus originated from Me to accomplish their mission on earth.

If, however, they have love then they will also be enlightened, they will be aware of their fellow human beings’ state of suffering, but they will also know of the relationship between the human being and the whole of creation with Me, the God and Creator of eternity. They can now make His strength their own and I will not withhold it from them, because I see a sincere effort for perfection in these people, and because they are no longer burdened by the original sin and therefore need no longer fear a restriction of power on My part either. Consequently, they themselves .... as already enlightened beings .... do not need salvation through Jesus. But all their fellow human beings are in need of it, and they have to inform them as well of the One, in Whom I manifested Myself as a human being in order to atone the original sin of all beings. They don’t lack this knowledge but they themselves, being the representatives of other religions, spread a veil across one of the most important problems, they do not enlighten their fellow human beings because they do not want to acknowledge Jesus’ special position. They regard Him as one of their own and not as the One, Who was the external cover for the eternal Deity Himself, and Who is and will eternally remain a visible Lord and God to all beings.

It is barely understandable that people, who are in heartfelt contact with their God and Creator, ignore this problem .... that they, on earth and later from the spiritual kingdom as well, teach innumerable people and always introduce themselves as beings of superior and exalted standing and yet do not emphasize the One, Who actually and absolutely is God: ‘Jesus’. These spirits of light also walked the path through the abyss once, they recognised and acknowledged Me and passed their test of will, but they did not achieve the highest degree of childship to God. This requires complete acceptance of My will, but they stop short of completely submitting themselves to Jesus .... Who is and remains God eternally .... They undeniably achieved the highest degree of maturity on earth, they have utilised My strength and are able to work (although they now make use of My strength on earth) and accomplish miracles with it, but Jesus’ sacrifice on the cross was not the decisive factor for them. Consequently, they only ever portrayed Jesus to their fellow human beings as a most perfect human being, as a master like many of themselves .... and not as Someone in Whom I wholly manifested and worked Myself, in Whom I Myself atoned the guilt of sin by way of the death on the cross. But when any of the exalted spiritual leaders on earth recognised and acknowledged the Redeemer Jesus Christ, he also sought to guide his fellow human beings into the belief.

And thus many people belonging to completely different religions will not find Jesus until they are in the beyond and will only then be delivered from the original sin, because this sin cannot be atoned by any other human being on their behalf. The original sin can only be redeemed by Jesus Christ .... by God Himself .... and therefore He also has to be acknowledged as divine Redeemer. And no-one will ever attain beatitude without first having been delivered from his original sin, which can only happen through the One, Jesus Christ, Who was the external shell of the Eternal Deity Himself. There are certainly many people who live a saintly life, who aspire to attain the highest perfection on earth. And yet there is a difference between them and Jesus .... because He had known of His mission since the beginning of eternity, He also knew of the agonising death He would have to suffer .... but, furthermore, He knew of the original sin which burdened humanity. His soul descended to earth and travelled the path as a human being in order to atone this original sin. And He invited all people to follow Him, He bridged the vast gulf which then could be entered by all people, since until that time there had been no way to get from the realm of darkness into the kingdom of light. The beings of light, which had been sent to earth as prophets prior to this, announced Him, the Messiah, Who was to bring salvation to people. And only true following resulted in people’s perfection again .... the attainment of the original condition. God’s will was proclaimed to people by prophets first and Jesus Himself, since it was no longer known to them due to the original sin by which they were burdened. Thus people, who were burdened by the original sin, have never been able to achieve a high degree of maturity on earth as their will was completely weakened. However, those who performed remarkable deeds on earth, who developed supreme spiritual abilities and were already perfected masters to their fellow human beings, would never have been able to reach this elevated position had they been subject to the restriction of the original sin.

But they had descended from above in order to help people. They were not fallen original spirits but had remained loyal to Me .... yet they can, at any time, also walk across the earth in order to voluntarily shape themselves into ‘Gods’ .... which I could not create for Myself and which had to be achieved by the human being’s free will itself. And again, I have to emphasize that it only required a life of love, that those beings could develop all divine abilities in themselves as human beings and that every human being can achieve this if he genuinely strives for highest perfection, which is proven by My Words ‘Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father Who is in heaven is perfect.’ Thus this high degree of maturity can also be achieved by people who were redeemed of their original sin by Jesus Christ.

But if a human being is an embodied being of light, which is not burdened by this original sin, it can more than ever achieve this deification on earth, and in view of his exalted maturity of soul he will also be able to recognise the work of Jesus and His special mission, but he will always only attempt to motivate people to also achieve the highest perfection. Yet even such an exalted spirit will not be able to free people from the burden of the original sin, since only Jesus’ act of Salvation has accomplished this.

He can only atone the sins ‘on behalf’ of someone which were committed by the human being as such, if he has greater than great love and he wants to help his fellow human being. But atonement for the original sin was only achieved by one human being: Jesus, the only begotten Son of God, in Whom God manifested Himself as human being, because love atoned for this sin and I Am love Itself. Even the most exalted beings of light in the spiritual kingdom acknowledge Me in Jesus, since I also became a visible God in Jesus for these beings.

And this human manifestation of Mine in Jesus is the difference between Him and exalted, mature spirits, and this human manifestation has to be acknowledged by every being which desires to see Me one day, otherwise even the most exalted beings of light would never be able to see Me face to face, and therein rests utmost beatitude.

Thus it can be rightly stated that no human being can become blessed without Jesus Christ, and the final goal will always be the complete union with Me .... nevertheless, every being maintains its own consciousness. Jesus, however, has received Me fully .... He and I are the same .... But you will only completely understand this when you have entered the kingdom of light ....

Amen

God Himself gives information about His rule and work ....

B.D. 8801 from April 7th 1964, taken from Book No. 92

You are to draw from the spring and refresh yourselves at the living water, which flows out of this spring, and you are to be mindful of it that I am the original source of all life, that everything what flows out of Me Myself gives you life and keeps it or lets you come to life again when you are dead through your own fault. I always want to awaken the dead to life, and what I now administer to you, that must therefore be life-awakening. If you now draw from the spring of life, then you will recover at your soul, which is ill and weak without My water of life and urgently needs a reviving drink.

Thus you should understand and appreciate My word .... as a ray of grace which hits you from the spring of My love. You are to know that you receive something delicious when I Myself hand you the liquor, so that you can continue the pilgrim way on earth and go to the end, which is to lead you into the eternal realms, where there are no more weaknesses and sufferings, where you will be able to be active in full power according to My will. And I will always let the same water of life flow everywhere; I will always hand out the same food to those who feel hunger and thirst for spiritual food and drink. Because always only purest truth can go out from Me and only the receiver of truth can be more mature or less mature, therefore be receptive to a certain extent for pure truth. But always the same will serve the soul to perfection; always the soul will be pointed to My commandments of love; always it will only be able to mature through love and reach wisdom. But I do not contradict Myself; I will always lead men to the same knowledge; I will impart to them the knowledge about spiritual secrets and explain to them all connections, and I will never guide to different truth at different places, because in every man's heart rests the spirit spark, which is My share, and this also instructs every man from the inside and lets him gain insight into My rule and work. It gives him information and again gives him back the knowledge, which he once had voluntarily given away, when he fell into darkness through his defection from Me. I do not want that you remain in this darkness for ever; I want to lead you again to the light. But the resistance of men is completely different, and there are always only few who open their hearts voluntarily to Me and ask Me for My love illumination and are now also allowed to receive this My love illumination in form of My word. But these are in possession of truth and can confidently represent their knowledge as pure truth and pass it on to those who also desire to know, but cannot be taught by Me directly.

It only belongs to a life in love that man is also given information about spiritual secrets, which are just for that reason secrets for man, because they close themselves to the supply of My love current, but which are made accessible to everyone, who devotes himself to Me, that I give him what he needs to still be able to perfect himself on earth. I will give equal consideration to all My creatures, which only strive towards Me and show Me right love, which also prove love towards Me through unselfish neighbourly love and which I therefore again want to fill with My love, by Me letting them take deeper and deeper insight into a knowledge, which corresponds to truth. Because I alone can hand out truth, because I alone am eternal truth. But I can let all take part who earnestly desire truth, and these will constantly be able to be instructed by Me through My spirit.

And who therefore lets himself be taught, who prepares himself as a vessel of My spirit, he draws from the spring of life, from the spring, which I Myself have opened for you men, and truly, he will get well and always drink himself leaning down. He will also be able to offer the water of life to his fellow human beings, for anyone who receives much himself cannot help but also pass on the delicious drink to his fellow human beings .... and everyone will get well who refreshes himself with what flows out directly from Me, so that he reaches life, which lasts forever ...._>Amen

Warning against Amendments .... I.

B.D. 8802 from May 15th 1964, taken from Book No. 92

I will straighten what you have twisted, I will do everything possible in order to lighten your burden, for I do not want to leave you in adversity and constantly offer My help so that you can accomplish the work for Me. However, it is My concern that everything you receive from Me shall be repeated by you word-for-word, and I truly have My reasons for inducing you to do so .... because I do not want any identifiable human work in it, since I truly have the power at My disposal to present the contents so plausibly that every person can understand it. What you think you improve is a criticism of My Word, which is not up to you and should be refrained from. However, I Am aware of your will and thus also of the fact that you make such

Amendments with the best of intentions to serve Me. But then 'My Word' will not be the same as I offer it to people and as I also want it repeated .... that is, unchanged. For only the Word as it flows forth from Me has convincing strength. As soon as a person

Amends it, it is no longer My Word, since it did not emerge from Me in this way. And I certainly know who has not made changes arbitrarily, whose way of speaking complies with My will. Consequently, I was able to select him to accept the dictation according to My will, who had prepared his human shell as a receiving vessel for My spirit and enabled Me to 'reveal Myself to him' in a way I recognised to be right and expressed Myself such that it is understandable for everyone. For I spoke as I was able to speak since the recipient did not interpret it with his words, instead it came to him from Me in the form of a dictation. This is what you should take into account; you should not add or remove anything I dictated to him. I influenced the person in the form of dictation so that he cannot be regarded as the author of the thoughts, so that he often cannot grasp the written sentence intellectually but only understand it as a result of the succeeding sentence .... which is only possible by dictation. This is the obvious sign that it originated from Me, that one can speak of 'My Word'.

Amen

The outpouring of the spirit upon the disciples then and now ....

B.D. 8803 from May 16th 1964, taken from Book No. 92

I promised you that I will remain with you until the end and My Word is truth. However, I linked it to the condition that you should ask Me, that you should want the answer from Me, the Eternal Truth Itself. Therefore you must enter into contact with Me and you will receive what you ask for. For it is not only My disciples who received the outpouring of the spirit .... all these privileges are intended for My Own who were in such heartfelt contact with Me that I was able to grant them the same privileges as My first disciples. This activity affecting My Own has been portrayed as unique, it has been said that it only related to 'My first disciples' and it was an exclusive process. Subsequently, the 'working of My spirit' in a person has not been taken notice of, and it is specifically this activity of My spirit in a person through which I Am recognised as your God and Creator, for precisely this establishes the connection between Myself and people. I only need a receptive heart into which the flow of My love's strength can pour in order to reveal Myself to the person .... And My revelations disclose the most profound knowledge concerning that which you are no longer aware of. You shall learn once more what you used to be, what you are and what you shall become again .... this information shall be given to you and thus you shall become enlightened. I was able to pour out My spirit upon My disciples because they were completely united with Me, because they had fulfilled all conditions which are the prerequisites for the working of My spirit, and because, prior to this, I had accomplished the act of Salvation for their original sin. Thus My disciples were filled by My spirit and declared on My instructions what I Myself had said to them. They were able to teach according to My instructions and preach My Gospel to people. And thus I will remain with you until the end, for I ascended to heaven and only wanted to inform you of My presence. You shall experience it time and again and not believe that you are abandoned, for My spirit is always in the midst of you, who are intimately united with Me. I want to educate you and increase your knowledge so that you can rightfully say 'The spirit of God works in Me'. And I can only teach you the truth, as I had promised with the Word 'I will guide you into all truth and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you'.

Amen

God Himself came to earth in Jesus ....

B.D. 8804 from May 24th 1964, taken from Book No. 92

If I want to make My nature understandable to you men, then you can only imagine the most perfect, which exists at all. And as long as you live on earth you lack every concept for the measure of My perfection .... thus My nature cannot be explained to you as a human being as long as you have not yet completely become love. Love is first the key, because the higher your degree of love is the sooner you grasp My nature, which is love in its original substance.

But this love came to earth in a man and gave itself a form to now be and remain visible to all in this form. And that is why you can now imagine this form in the man Jesus; an outer form is revealed to you men, which you can always address as Myself, which therefore is certainly completely divine, which is My nature and still has become something imaginable to you men, which is therefore most perfect. I Myself came to earth in the man Jesus; My original being filled Him, and so I could radiate through Him in all fullness. Who therefore is opened to spiritual sight in the kingdom on the other side .... that he has reached a certain degree of love .... he can now see Him face to face, and it will trigger an undreamt-of happiness in him.

And so I have become a visible God to men, Whom they can perceive and Who nevertheless will trigger a longing in them, which lets them become more and more happy because it constantly finds fulfilment. And still He will be eternally unattainable in His nature, why He is certainly visible to His creatures, but still unfathomable in His nature, because He and I is one. What therefore applies to Me also applies to Him. Only love grasps Him, and only through love He can be grasped.

For this reason you humans still have to bring love to full development on earth if you want to penetrate My nature, for you possess a divine spark within you .... the part of Myself .... which you can ignite and let flare up into a bright flame. This divine portion will also lead you into the deepest knowledge, you will attain realization and know about your primordial beginning .... You will learn about your apostasy from Me and about your aim. And when you possess this knowledge, you already stand in a high degree of love, and you now constantly experience the love light radiation for My part, which can now flow towards you unhindered to make you happy that you come closer and closer to My nature, that you recognize Me Myself in Jesus and can see Him face to face ...._>Amen

Warning against Amendments .... II.

B.D. 8805 from May 25th 1964, taken from Book No. 92

You should all be told not to apply any changes to My Word, which is offered to you from above. You need not worry, for I truly speak in a way that you can all understand providing you are spiritually-minded and want to understand.

So many spiritual questions have been clarified to you and everything has been explained such that it was indeed possible for you to understand Me without the need for correction, and so you shall abide by this. If I guide you into truth, then you can also be certain that everything corresponds to truth, that I do not convey something to you that opposes the truth, and therefore you will not find any contradictions either. Yet then I also make the condition that you want to be free from all error .... and that you wholeheartedly appeal to Me for it. Then you will indeed be protected from error, you will know the purest truth and can also advocate it with conviction. Nevertheless, there are still many who want to be free from all error, who reject every teaching they haven't received from Me Myself and who are therefore not accessible to any instruction by outsiders either. For this reason I was only able to choose a person who was suitable for this work in My vineyard. His work will be safeguarded by Me and protected from all distortion, as long as the person's will is not opposed to Me. He cannot be forced by Me to work according to My will, either. And therefore I repeat time and again: 'Don't change My Word ....' For the Word I speak in the form of a dictation is My direct communication and I don't want you to change this Word according to your use of language, even if you have the best of intentions, for then it would contradict the hitherto defended declaration that it came to the person in form of a dictation which, however, cannot be disputed ....

Knowledge of the original sin is necessary in order to understand the act of Salvation .... in order to acknowledge Jesus Christ as the 'Redeemer' ....

B.D. 8806 from May 26th 1964, taken from Book No. 92

You humans lack the knowledge about the first original sin, consequently you also consider Jesus Christ's act of Salvation just an atonement for your human guilt, indeed, you even deny His 'act of Salvation' because .... you believe .... that everyone has to pay for their guilt down to the last coin. This opinion would be understandable if it only concerned the sin you burdened yourselves with as human beings .... but it concerns the immense first original sin, the spirits' apostasy from Me .... a sin .... which you would never be able to atone for, which thus cannot ever be denied, which is the cause of the whole of creation and the reason for My human manifestation in Jesus.

For the apostasy from Me was caused by the fact that the created beings were unable to see Me, and therefore I made Myself visible in Jesus. Anyone who merely acknowledges the past original sin by the first human beings will find it incredulous that these sins necessitated a 'Redeemer', he will always maintain that humanity could not be punished for a sin it had not committed. And therefore even the sins committed by a person as such are indeed an offence against My love .... but they do not recognise them in their state of darkness, which is the consequence of the immense first original sin. But this sin explains everything, and as long as people do not know about this event of the spirits' apostasy they will find it difficult to believe in the 'divine Redeemer', Who died on the cross in utmost pain and torment for the sake of this immense sin, which He had taken upon Himself in order to offer this sacrifice of atonement to Me. Consequently, every teaching which denies the divine Redeemer .... which thus renounces the principle of Salvation .... will have to be rejected as a misguided teaching, even if His work as an advocate of the divine teaching of love is emphasised. It concerns the redemption of the first original sin, which only I Myself could accomplish in the man Jesus, and therefore My human manifestation in Him will be comprehensively explained to you, for I Myself Am a Being which cannot be seen by any of My living creations without their ceasing to exist.

If I thus wanted you to be able to conceive Me visibly it had to take place in the form of a being like yourselves Which, for you, was the human being Jesus. Consequently, it is first of all necessary to know about the event of the beings' apostasy from Me in order to then understand the process of creation of the visible world. Then you will also be able to understand the everlasting battle between light and darkness and the appearance of a Saviour for humanity in Jesus Christ .... of a non-fallen original spirit .... in Whom I embodied Myself, because you had no concept at all of the 'all-creative strength'. And for this reason you can and have to acknowledge a Redeemer, Who died on the cross on behalf of everyone and Who also prayed on behalf of you humans for the remission of your sins. But it cannot be granted to you instantly, rather, you have to apply to Him yourselves because the fall happened voluntarily and thus the return to Him will also have to take place in free will. The fact that a person who seriously strives for perfection will, apart from the original sin, also be forgiven for his sins as a human being need not be doubted, hence all guilt will be forgiven and thus forgiveness is ensured. But since Jesus is only rarely recognised as Redeemer by those who accept the misguided teaching which portrays Him as a human being and ascended master and who do not want to acknowledge My human manifestation in Him, they do not ask Him for forgiveness of all their sins either. For there is only One Who can release them from their guilt, only One has the power to cancel all sins .... and that is Jesus, in Whom I Myself became a human being ....

Amen

Reasons for silence ....

B.D. 8807 from May 31th 1964, taken from Book No. 92

To all of you, who are devoted to Me in love, I want to reveal Myself as a most loving being, to Whom it is solely about to also win your love to make you happy for ever. You are once radiated love power out of Me, which I do not leave to the opponent, although you had given yourselves into his hands. But as soon as you again turn your love towards Me, you also belong to Me, and that is why I will do everything to win back your love. I will therefore also address you and again and again do this .... But I also don't want you to endanger 'My revelations' yourselves by you, who are at the centre of a great event, who are to bring My word out into the world, raising doubts about its authenticity through a single announcement. Because I truly know it, what is a blessing for you and I therefore remain silent as long as this danger still exists, but without leaving you lonely, because I am closer to you than ever; I live your life with, and I also recognize your desire for My word. But wait out in patience, because I know it, for what everything is good and why I allow such. And I will truly not leave you; I am always with you, and as long as you maintain the bond with Me, I will also work in you ...._>Amen

To an earlier announcement as reply ....

B.D. 8808 from June 8th 1964, taken from Book No. 92

Whatever moves you, I will answer you, but always so, as it is comprehensible to you! The beings, when they went out from Me, were radiated out in all perfection. But according to the nature of Lucifer .... depending on his distance from Me .... his will was also in those beings, yet they were not at his mercy but they, too, stood in the light of realization, albeit they were created in the eclipsed state of the creator. My light was in them, and therefore they could also decide for Me .... and who recognized Me as his exit, he also remained loyal to Me. The apostasy from Me only had its reason that I did not reveal Myself to all My creatures in a visible way .... that they wanted to see the being, which had created them. And exactly this will Lucifer had put into those beings. So it was by no means a will directed against Me, until this then against better knowledge turned towards the being, which they could see .... and rejected the strength of love, which only I could give to them, believing that they could dispose of it themselves. The expression that the beings were created in darkness is therefore justified insofar as their creator himself moved in darkness through his wrong train of thought, but which was not influenced by Me, since every being has the right to be able to unfold its thoughts in every direction .... The fact that they were wrongly directed certainly had an effect on those created beings, but which through the light of love flowing towards them from Me could just as well think right, therefore by no means needed to keep the wrong will in themselves, otherwise they could not be called to account when they could not think differently than it was the will of their producer.

The act of creation of beings in all its different phases is also not to be understood by you men because the relationship to Me on the part of him, who made use of My power, was so different that I certainly can give you an enlightenment about it, but which does not cover everything. However, you need not let yourselves be disturbed if you seemingly encounter a contradiction, for you will be instructed in accordance with your state of maturity, the instruction will be in accordance with your capacity for comprehension, but you can nevertheless accept it as pure truth ...._>Amen

God needs His servants, who offer to serve Him ....

B.D. 8809 from June 11th 1964, taken from Book No. 92

Those of you who are in the vicinity of My sun of love will always be taken care of and need not fear that you will not receive anything, for I do not have many faithful labourers to whom I can reveal My will. And even if you must cope with much opposition, you can nevertheless only mature through them. For this much is certain, My adversary will constantly try to hunt you down, he will leave no stone unturned in order to prevent your work for Me, just as I will likewise increase your strength and want to work in you, according to My promise. Therefore, you will receive My Word for as long as you make yourselves available to Me .... For through My Word I give evidence of My presence, I enter into contact with you through My Word and, through My Word, My will is made known to you. Thus, present all your problems to Me in thought and I will answer you .... Ask Me and let yourselves be instructed, for large areas are still open to you which I want to make accessible to you, and that is only possible through My spirit. But My spirit never errs and you can accept and advocate what it tells you. My Word comes to you as a light from above; you need only accept it as a ray of light which wants to be taken in by you, and you will also feel the strength you receive with it. As a result of My Word you will mature in realisation, for the strength is not ineffective. If you establish contact with Me yourselves, you will experience the inner process that your spiritual spark unites itself with the Father-Spirit, that you become knowledgeable, for then you will consciously open yourselves to My divine influx and you can only receive good gifts from Me. But this is why My adversary will try to do everything in his power in order to cover the fount from which My living water flows forth, in order to make it unsuitable; nevertheless, he will not succeed, for I carefully watch over these people and push him away, so that he cannot cause havoc where I Myself Am present and want to express Myself. Even if he seemingly succeeds in incapacitating you, My bearers of light .... believe Me, I Am protecting you, for My will is stronger than his and what I want will happen .... For I still need you and you may rest assured that I will not dismiss you from My service, that I require your assistance and thus you will also receive My protection and My grace for as long as you live on earth. And therefore My blessing will always accompany your every undertaking, because I know that you do it for Me and solely want to serve Me.

Amen

God's blessing and guidance of the spiritual work ....

B.D. 8810 from June 13th 1964, taken from Book No. 92

Any work you do for Me is blessed and will bear fruit. For your thoughts will also be guided so that they can only correspond to My will and, therefore, you need not fear anything as long as you hand yourselves over to Me and appeal to Me for guiding your thoughts in the right way. I live your life with you, and I also determine your thoughts such that they will adapt themselves to My will, because your task of passing on My Word as you have received it from Me is not a small one. And were you not protected by Me, a distribution of My Word would not be easily possible for you, since you yourselves would not have the overall view which, however, is assured to you through My influence. You should therefore firmly rely on My help which is assured to you because I recognise your will to serve Me and because no human being can hardly instruct you better than I. As soon as you express your willingness to be of service to Me I will accept your services, and then you will be in contact with Me, I Myself will intervene and you can calmly undertake the work. However, you must make sure that you distribute the truth, for I want to address people through My Word .... it is the pure truth which is not offered to you in this way anywhere else unless an equally spiritually awakened person has received it in the same way as you, with the same dedication and the same will to distribute it, for then My blessing will always be upon you.

Amen

Attitude of people to the divine word ....

B.D. 8811 from June 14th 1964, taken from Book No. 92

All of you are hit by My ray of favour; all of you are addressed by My endless love; all of you can hear My word when you just intimately unite with Me. I only restore the original state, in which you could hear My word, which sounded in you, to prove to you the union with Me, which you were not able to see Me and you still should know about My will, which was expressed through My word. That My word is now offered to you again presupposes a high degree of maturity .... which you have not yet reached, but in My love and grace .... and in view of the approaching end .... I am already satisfied with the willingness of a person who seriously offers himself to Me for service in order to make you happy with My address. Because you need My word, which is to announce My will to you again. I want to impart to you, you who earnestly strive, through My word again the knowledge, which was lost to you .... I want that you again make knowledge your own, and that is why I address you, well mindful of your state of weakness, but which is to experience a strengthening through My word.

It is an act of grace of greatest magnitude which takes place upon you who had forfeited the right to be addressed by Me directly. And blessed are those who also feel addressed by Me, who enrich themselves with the knowledge that is supplied to them .... blessed are those who desire to stand in right knowledge and whom I therefore can also consider. There are only few to whom I can reveal Myself directly or indirectly, who hear My word in right faith and accept it, as spoken to them themselves, and seek to fulfil My will, because to these My word will not become judgement, but who hears it and acts rejecting to it, him My words themselves will judge. But once I spoke to you, and when you rejected Me Myself through the rejection of My love, when you passed the light of knowledge and fell into deepest darkness, you could no longer hear My word. You could not remedy your lack of light with your own power, but you had to wait until the favour of the transmission of My word again reached you, what now happens in earth life, but that then also knowledge is again offered to you in the state of most intimate connection with Me, to Whom you must devote yourselves to be given this favour by Him.

But now also use this favour; do not let it pass you by, but draw power from it to live in My will, to make all knowledge your own and to again receive a small knowledge of that what you once possessed in all fullness. And you can enrich your knowledge unlimitedly, because I also hand out unlimitedly, according to the receiving will of man, who can always ask deeper questions, which I also answer for him.

My love towards you knows no limits, and it does everything to again guide you towards the state, in which you started from Me. That is why it also addresses you and seeks to increase your degree of knowledge, because you, as long as you are ignorant, are also deficiently formed, but I would like to supply you with the knowledge, which you had lost. And you can be happy about this My address, it is still a gift of favour, which you do not deserve, but which is sent to all those, who have the most intimate will to give themselves to Me, and who therefore have already passed their test of will, for the purpose of which they live on earth.

And I want to express Myself recognizably to them; I want to impart to them the knowledge of a power from Which they took their origin as supremely perfect beings. I want them to know about their apostasy from Me and the process of return; I want to supply them with the knowledge about their purpose of earthly life and their aim, which they are to strive for consciously, because as soon as a light is kindled for them about it, it can become bright in them, and then they will consciously strive towards Me as their former exit. And because I speak to all men, always only make it dependent on their will that they listen to Me, but you will also carry the responsibility, and you can never say that I have not addressed you. Because you will always also be able to hear it when you delve into the book of the fathers with the thought to hear My address. Because I comply with every such call because My word is the only means of binding, because it is the only possibility to get into contact with you. But as long as your senses are not spiritually directed, you also carry no desire for My word, and whether it also sounds .... As long as your heart is not willing to receive it, it will fall on your ears and your path to Me is still far. And if you let the last opportunity pass without listening to Me, then the end will approach and find you unprepared. Because I cannot grant you a greater favour than to give you full knowledge about your assignment, about meaning and purpose of your earth life and about My endless love, which wants to help you to find to Me ...._>Amen

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

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

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

Observing the two commandments of God ....

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Amen

Forerunner ....

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

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

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

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

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

Faith comes alive through love ....

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

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

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

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

Amen

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

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

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

Amen

Battle against error ....

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Amen

Every being must want to be redeemed ....

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

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

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

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

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

Amen

Correction of misguided teachings ....

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Amen

Manifestation of the eternal God-spirit ....

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

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

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

Other religions’ attitude towards Jesus Christ ....

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

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

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

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

Amen

Addition to Yogi - message ....

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

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

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

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

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

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

Amen

Spiritual messages must profess Jesus Christ as Redeemer of the world ....

B.D. 8826 from July 6th 1964, taken from Book No. 93

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

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

Amen

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Amen

Pretended worship ....

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

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

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

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

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

Amen

God wants His Word understood differently ....

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

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

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

Amen

Love thy neighbour as thyself ....

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

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

The task of fighting misguided teachings ....

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

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

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

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

Amen

Precondition for the working of the spirit ....

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

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

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

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

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

About speaking in tongues ....

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

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

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

Amen

Acts 7, 55-56 ....

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Amen

Father's assurance of pure truth ....

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Amen

Right proclaimers of the doctrine of Christ ....

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

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

Unidentified flying objects ....

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

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

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

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

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

Amen

Rating people by love degree ....

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

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

Study does not guarantee spiritual knowledge ....

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

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

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

Amen

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

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

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

Amen

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

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

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

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

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

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

Interpretation of the divine Word ....

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

The 'Word of God' has been subjected to many

Amendments, and it is still

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Amen

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Amen

The latter-day Saints ....

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

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

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

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

Amen

Free will must accept the truth ....

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

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

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

Amen

Rejecting the divine word ....

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

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

Can man suffer vicariously? ....

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

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

Right feeding the soul ....

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

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

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

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

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

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

Amen

Meaning and danger of free will ....

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

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

Israel .... (Meaning of the name)

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

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

Amen

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Amen

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

(Continuation of no 8858)

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

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

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

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

(Continuation of no 8858 and 8859)

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Amen

God cannot 'excuse' the sins ....

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

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

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

Comforting Fatherly Words ....

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

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

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

Amen

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

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

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

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

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

Amen

Exceeding grace of God is His address ....

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

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

Different status of the created beings ....

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

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

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

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

Amen

The path through Satan's world ....

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

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

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

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

Amen

Loving but urgent exhortation from God ....

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

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

Personal words of the lord ....

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

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

'I will guide you into truth ....'

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

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

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

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

Amen

God follows souls to depth ....

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

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

Desire to hear the word of God ....

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Renewed reference to the end ....

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

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

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

Amen

Spoilt spiritual knowledge has to be corrected ....

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

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

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

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

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

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

Amen

And thus every being was also able to give its will the right direction, and it also had the strength to do so precisely because in its abundance of light it recognized where Lucifer was heading .... The fact that it followed him to the depths was therefore not due to its alleged "deficiency," which it thus "got" from its producer, but it was its own will, which, in spite of the bright light of knowledge, followed it to the depths .... It was therefore by no means pre-loaded on the part of Lucifer with a will that turned towards God even before it was given the right of self-determination .... Because it was, like everything that came forth out of Me, standing in highest perfection .... (2.11.1964) I Myself therefore cannot contradict Me; it is the purest truth, which My revelations hold. What therefore contradicts it does not carry My spirit in itself, and there is the following explanation for this: firstly, My adversary's effort to confuse your spirit, which he then succeeds in doing when the bond with Me is not deep enough, when you yourselves, through your own thinking, give him the opportunity to confuse the concepts, and secondly, (when) you were not yet in (such) contact with Me which allows My influence in you .... that I was able to protect you from the working of immature spirits, which always come back when a person seeks the light and tries to extinguish this light. The more earnestly a receiver of My love light pushes towards Me, the safer My word sounds to him, but which then is also pure and louder and every evil spirit is repelled, which wants to press a light bearer. The more the will and the desire for pure truth is inherent in My light bearers, the more he can also be convinced of the truth of what is offered to him. That is why I also want that you examine all scriptures, because again and again My opponent wants to awaken an uncertainty in man; he wants that you doubt the truth of that what I Myself announce to you. But you are to prove your faith to Me, you are not to let yourselves be diverted from the truth of My word through his work, because I will always enlighten your spirit that you recognize it if and when he has intruded to invalidate My work ....

God wants to be known as "love" ....

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Amen

The endtime disciples' task ....

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

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

Amen

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

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

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

Amen

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

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

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

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

Amen

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

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

(Continuation of no 8883)

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Amen

Process of love power exchange ....

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

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

The darkness thickens ....

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

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

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

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

Amen

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

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

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

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

Amen

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

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

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

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

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

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

Amen

Jesus Christ must be acknowledged by man ....

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

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

Earth task: inner enlightenment ....

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

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

Correction of false doctrines ....

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

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

Correction of false doctrines ....

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

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

Call from earth for a savior ....

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

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

God Himself accomplished the work of redemption ....

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

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

Reply to Habermann

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

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

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

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

Amen

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

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

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

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

Amen

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

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

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

Few people left to capture ....

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

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

Enlightenment about light beings ....

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Losing followers ....

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

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

Soliciting vineyard workers ....

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

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

Task ....

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

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

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

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

Amen

Lorber ....

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

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

Amen

Good and evil .... Eternal law ....

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Amen

Task of the vineyard workers ....

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

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

Question: blood transfusion ....

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

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

About the origin of evil ....

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

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

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

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

Amen

Risk of error ....

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

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

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

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

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

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

Amen

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Amen

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

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

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

What is the world? ....

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

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

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

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

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

Amen

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

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

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

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

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

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

Announcing the end again - natural history ....

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

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

God corrects a big error ....

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

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

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

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

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

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

Amen

Spiritual knowledge should ignite love for God ....

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

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

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

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

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

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

Amen

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

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

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

The right lifeborn ....

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

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

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

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

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

Amen

Being human is a consequence of rejecting divine love-power ....

B.D. 8929 from February 9th 1965, taken from Book No. 94

Your existence on earth is the result of your offence against God, it is the result of rejecting His strength of love, for thereby you lost all creative power and all light, you descended into the abyss, it was dark in you and around you .... You lost all knowledge, all concept of God and consequently also all happiness, which could only come forth from God and filled the beings which had not transgressed against Him. You got into a dreadful state, which brought you agonies of exceedingly great extent and for endless long time. But you must also know that the repulsion of His love power was your free will, that no-one forced you to it, that you in brightest recognition of your exceedingly happy state nevertheless had ended it by turning to him who was visible to you, although you knew that he also had first come out of God. This was an exceedingly great guilt which you had loaded on yourselves, and still there is nothing what cannot be changed again into the state of highest bliss. There is nothing that can resist His infinite love .... And time does not exist for Him, for He is from eternity and will be for all eternity .... Only everything has to happen according to the law; He cannot work contrary to the law, and everything has to fit into the law of eternal order to again become perfect as it was in the beginning. Because to have stepped out of the love radiation of God was an offence against divine order, which could not be atoned for differently than again through a work of love, as the man Jesus has accomplished it. But before it also still requires this long course through the creations of earth, where the fallen partly atones for the rebellion against God through agonies in the bound state, where the resistance against God slowly decreases, until the being then goes over earth as man, where it is to pass the last test of will to return to God in free will or to turn again to him, who was the cause of its fall to the deep. When you men consider that you cannot be happy without God's illumination of love, that you are before powerless and lightless creatures, because you once gave the light and the power .... then you will also understand that your existence as a human being is not and cannot be a happy state, for you are still under the effect of your sin, which burdens you until you have found forgiveness through Jesus Christ .... And you still have to appeal for this in earthly life if you want to enter the kingdom of the beyond unburdened, where you will be allowed to dwell in light again, in strength and freedom .... But if you men disregard this work of mercy, which Jesus Christ has offered for you, then you will never become free of that guilt, and God's opponent will succeed to get you again into his power, if you do not insert yourselves into the law of eternal order, which consists of you leading a life in love. Then you can also still find to Jesus Christ in the kingdom of the beyond, because then He will not let you get lost .... But there is great danger, and it is particularly strong in the time of the end, that you completely lack faith in Him as the divine redeemer, in Whom God Himself became man .... And then also a relapse to the deep is to be expected (to be feared). And again a time of endless agonies begins for the fallen spiritual, but which it cannot be spared to still once reach the light of knowledge .... to the illumination with God's love-power .... to lead it. But then also the time of the past will seem to it like a moment, then it will thank its creator and praise Him because of the glory, which it will now be able to enjoy. Because to have stepped out of order must also result in its just punishment, but which is law from eternity and therefore is not to be seen as lack of love of God. Because His love also pursues that fallen, and His love has also created the possibilities for it to again reach up. His love let the world come into being with all its works, and His love arranged everything so that the ascent development can take place in it .... And this love will also bring it about that once all creatures will be unmeasured happy ....

Amen

Spreading the spirit .... world people ....

B.D. 8930 from February 10th 1965, taken from Book No. 94

That you want to be active for Me and My will, I will reward you one day in eternity, because not many men are found, who are prepared to receive a spiritual material, which is considered as not provable before the world and therefore must only be believed. And still it is the most important that this spiritual good finds spreading because a happy life in eternity depends on it. Who therefore is active for Me and My will, he works, worldly seen, for nothing .... he carries out an activity which the worldly man does not value, which earns nothing according to his discretion, and yet it is so exceedingly necessary .... but which only man will recognize when he has knowledge about it and he knows it, what it is about in the end. For even though the worldly man may attain to fame and honours, even though he may gain earthly goods in excess .... everything is lost at the moment of death. But spiritual goods, which you, My servants, impart to men, also remain after death; they follow them into eternity, and with them they can work, and they will be happy. Life is so short, and still it is decisive for your lot in eternity. But men go blindly through earth life; they cannot and do not want to see what is still to be recognized so clearly: that it was not given to you in vain, that you have to fulfil a task and that you just always have to demand enlightenment about it, what is demanded of you. You men can still not believe that you were born only for the sake of earth life. And when you are now given information about it, then you should still accept it, although this knowledge cannot be proven to you. You believe so much for which you can also create no evidence, and it is enough for you when a man assures you that it is so. Why do you not also accept that knowledge, which is much more valuable for you than to know earthly things? Therefore you, My servants, are told again and again to spread your knowledge, and if you succeed to cause only one world man to accept it, then the rescue work is already accomplished at his soul. And also he will again see to it that others take note of spiritual things, which reach into that kingdom, which he did not allow before. But I well know how few men let themselves be influenced by spiritual knowledge, and still these few are already a gain for Me, because at the end of an earth period I can only still reckon with a small flock, which directs its look up. But also worldly men can still be won when they only enter the kingdom on the other side with a small knowledge about it at their death .... that they remember it and now nevertheless start to believe that their life is not ended after death .... that they are called by men on earth who receive spiritual good and pass it on .... then redemption can still be given to them with good will also in the kingdom on the other side .... But they have to struggle hard to reach a small knowledge and remember with great remorse the missed opportunities on earth. Do not let yourselves be dissuaded from your spiritual work, and no matter how laborious it still seems to be. I will always give you help; I will direct your thoughts that you always turn to men what they need .... that My address always gives them what moves their thoughts, and they therefore also visibly recognize My work. And My blessing will constantly accompany you, for anyone who is wholeheartedly involved in this vineyard work will also not do it without results, for My word is blessed with My strength, which flows towards everyone who willingly accepts it ....

Amen

God's constant care of love is for His creatures ....

B.D. 8931 from February 11th 1965, taken from Book No. 94

And My love care is meant for all beings, which once fell away from Me. For even if the apostasy from Me took place in a state of brightest knowledge .... but they are now in total darkness, they know nothing of their former height, of their light and their strength and therefore would never be able to release themselves from this darkness if I did not provide them with help. But all these beings once went out from Me, and they can no longer pass away, and that is why I want to again lead them to perfection, and whether also eternities are necessary for it. Because My love towards them does not pass away, although they often resist Me for a long time, because they no longer recognize Me, because they have lost all knowledge about their origin and because the one is their master, who mercilessly entangles them in deeper and deeper darkness and from which they cannot break away without help. In this state, therefore, man finds himself at the beginning of his embodiment .... He certainly slowly wins his I-consciousness that he recognizes himself as an independent being, nevertheless darkness still holds him around, and the earthly world, through which he has to pass, is little suitable to give him a light, because this light has to come from within, but he himself has no light, since he once rejected it. That is why My exceedingly great love has given him a gift for the time as man by putting a small spark of itself into the human heart, which now can also be ignited when man is of will for it. Only this little spark of love means actual life, and as long as it does not flare up in the human heart, he is dead in spirit, although he lives an earthly life. All My efforts only go out to help men to this life, which they once had given up voluntarily themselves, but I will also not let up until I will have reached My aim. And now I give you a second light .... for I reveal Myself to you .... What you cannot know by yourselves, what also no man can bring to you from outside, that again goes to you as a gift: I light a light for you, that you know about your state at the beginning and are not completely held captive by darkness .... Admittedly, this light is dependent on you letting the spark of love flare up in you yourselves, so that you will then also be able to receive My direct revelations. For you are not to go through earth life without a little knowledge; you are to draw your conclusions from it and always only strive that you reach Me and therefore your aim. The only thing that matters is that you come out of darkness, that you want to flee from him who wants to keep you in darkness .... But then My help will be completely noticeable to you; then I take care of every individual in merciful love, because if man wants to turn away from him, then he turns towards Me, and I seize him and never ever leave him. And I instruct him that all abilities lie in him, which were only buried, that he can again let all these abilities break through and he is far more than just a created man .... that he is a being, emerged out of My love, which was perfect and is also to reach perfection again. And I will not rest until I have reached the aim of forming 'children' for Myself out of the 'creatures', and whether I also again and again have to let the beings walk the course through creation when they oppose Me .... one day they will be perfect after all, just as their father in heaven is perfect ....

God's constant care of love is for His creatures ....

B.D. 8932 from February 12th 1965, taken from Book No. 94

Nothing is able to stop My will to create; nothing is able to restrict My power of creation. I will always and forever create and shape, I will always and forever put forth new creations because I find My beatitude in them and My strength does not diminish forever, which has to be active according to law. Since you men still stand under the law of time and space, you will not grasp this in its entire meaning, because a being, which is constantly active, which does not stop to create, must once be at the end according to your terms. But the concept of time completely switches off, what you once will also understand. The whole of infinity is filled by Me with creations, partly of spiritual, partly of material kind, and all these creations have their purpose to make My spirit world happy and to contribute that their love towards Me constantly increases .... but as they also constantly serve for the redemption of the creatures which have become apostate to Me, whose innumerable likewise substantiate such creations until eternities .... But since every creation is always only the expression of My endless love, since every expression of power is in itself the radiation of My original substance and next to Me no creative power exists .... since My former light spirit's power is finally broken through Jesus Christ .... there will also never ever be a passing away of My creations, as far as they exist spiritually, because earthly worlds can indeed pass away, i.e. change in themselves, once their purpose is fulfilled that they have helped the souls to perfection. But then the love power radiated for it is only changed because it cannot pass away and has again another purpose. But My will to form is inexhaustible and makes Me happy to an extent not to be described because again and again love is the source of My original being. My original being .... drives Me to it and it is unlimited. Now you will also understand why I have created beings for Myself .... you will understand that I desired such because I wanted to share this happiness with them, because I was also urged to make beings, which were shaped like Me, equally happy to an inconceivable extent, that I also gave them the power to create and shape and they could use it according to their own will. And all My beings had to be free; they were not allowed to be bound to My will, but I put them out of Me freely, that they could be active as isolated from Me in free will .... And this will conformed to Mine so that an exceedingly blissful time passed until the beings partly fell away .... The apostasy was only the result of the rejection of My love power, which could only result in the fall into the deep. Because without the influx of love power the being must inevitably harden, because My love power gives life to everything, but without the love power the being decays into the state of death .... Since now innumerable beings have fallen and innumerable beings remained with Me, also the rescue action of these fallen beings gives cause for creative activity, which is carried out by Me as well as by the beings remaining with Me in My will, which nevertheless makes us happy and will make us happy still endless times. Because it is about a great aim: about the reaching of the adoption as children of God on earth, which I long for from the very beginning and that is why I did not prevent the fall into the deep .... which I certainly could, but then would have made the will of the beings unfree .... And so you must also learn to regard this fall into the abyss as a consequence of free will, but which was not withheld from any of My created beings, otherwise it would not have emerged from Me completely .... But that My endless love gives up none of these fallen beings, that must also be understandable to you, because there is nothing in the whole universe, which would not be the work of My love .... thus nothing can get lost or eternally remain in darkness. For love is stronger than hatred, and the love of all My beings of light would alone be enough to achieve victory over darkness .... But I Myself pursue every one of My beings into the abyss, and I will also surely one day reach their ascent to the height ....

Amen

What was the being like in its original state? .... What is it like as a human being? ....

B.D. 8933 from February 13th 1965, taken from Book No. 94

That you continue to receive My word from above is to be proof to you that I still have much to say to you, that your knowledge will increase the more you open yourselves to My love illumination and the more intimately you establish the connection with Me, which is also always the guarantee that I will express Myself. For My love still has much in store for you, My love does not want you to remain unenlightened in such matters where you desire clarification. And so you also have to be instructed about your former nature, when you were still perfect. For the way you are now was not your state .... you could move freely, your will could take you anywhere, you were not bound, you were in fullest freedom of thought and will, no restriction was imposed on you, and you could see through everything in the fullest light .... Everything was brightly and clearly apparent to you that you only ever recognized My love for you and were therefore inexpressibly happy. And you also did not lack the strength to let your will become active; in no way was this strength limited, and it also could not be, because My love power constantly flowed through you .... And when you now consider how far you are still away from that state .... how you can neither move in freedom nor are filled with light and power .... And when you consider that you now open your hearts to already let a ray of love-light fall into it, then you already consciously strive for your original state, and you can assume in all certainty that you will reach your aim, because it is your will to return to Me, and this will means everything .... Even though you don't feel the change from darkness to light like this on earth you will still enter a bright light when you enter the kingdom of the beyond, and you will suddenly be in a state of freedom, light and strength again, you will throw off all earthly fetters, you will be able to enter the light freed from all earthly heaviness and be allowed to enjoy everything again which you lacked for eternities .... Therefore believe Me that you, who receive My word, and also you, who are prepared to pass it on, are already powerfully hit by My love light ray .... because you make it possible to let the light of knowledge go to you already on earth, which is always a sign that My love is meant for you, which will not stop to shine at you when you are just prepared for it. And yet, there are only a few who are close to their perfection, although it is made easy for all people, for they need only listen to you and also open themselves to My address, they would all only need to take hold of My hand which stretches out towards them, and I would truly kindle a small light for them in the glow of which they would learn to recognize and love Me .... And the earthly progress would be successful for all people, for My love is so powerful that it grants grace upon grace and consequently you can become blessed by grace. But the flock of My own is only small, and the darkness that lies over the earth is great, and that is why the end is also inevitable, and it must come, because humanity shuts itself off from My word from above, which alone can give you clarification about questions of greatest importance .... which first of all includes the question: What is man's relationship to Jesus Christ, the divine redeemer, in Whom I Myself became man .... As long as humanity does not ask this question it is subject to My adversary, and he will truly prevent it from ever getting this question answered .... because it is He alone Who can save people from the abyss when the end has come ....

Amen

Unstoppable word reception ....

B.D. 8934 from February 14th 1965, taken from Book No. 94

It is not possible for you humans to extract a purely spiritual explanation from My word spoken to you, for people's state of maturity in the present time prevents this, even if you make an effort to live entirely in My will .... But what lies hidden in the depth of My word you cannot grasp; you would also not be able to clothe it in words, even if you penetrate into the deepest meaning of the word. Because no man would be open for it anymore, because you stand shortly before the end and the spiritual state is already badly darkened that even the ones who are Mine could no longer break through this darkness. But now .... precisely because of the expected end .... My revelations are given to people unveiled, so that a misinterpretation of the word is impossible, for people now need a completely clear portrayal, both of My nature as well as of all forthcoming events, they therefore have to take note of all correlations, of the reason and significance of their being and of the divine redeemer's mission, because they are facing the final decision and a veiled revelation could not earn them a blessing .... Therefore the revelations from above can and must be taken literally, and their truth will already prove itself shortly, because the end cannot be postponed, and events precede this end, which I have announced to men again and again, and until the end I will warn and admonish men .... But that the end is near, that you must believe, because a proof for it cannot be brought to you for your own sake. But for that very reason I give you news of the preceding natural event, which is to show you all what hour the world clock has struck. And blessed who this natural event gives the last impulse to commend himself to Me and My favour .... For this one will be saved for time and eternity ....

Amen

No coercion may be done to the will of man ....

B.D. 8935 from February 15th 1965, taken from Book No. 94

No coercion is allowed to be done to people's will .... Therefore it must also be left up to them whether and how they make use of the word, which is sent to them from above. They must be free to reject it, although then they forfeit a favour of greatest value. But exactly the free will is the important thing, because only when free will confesses it, the power also goes to them, with which I have blessed My word. Only then they are prepared to again let themselves be illuminated by Me Myself, because although it happens to them indirectly, they still receive the ray of light from Me; it finds entrance into their hearts and also becomes effective with them. That is why you always just have to draw the attention of your fellowmen to the fact that you yourselves have entered into contact with Me, that you stand in the great favour to receive My word from above, which you are also to pass on to your fellowmen. And you will experience it that you will find far more rejection .... But where a seed falls on good soil, there My profit is great, because I have won these for eternity .... But again and again you should mention it and inform your fellow human beings that only a life of love can achieve such, that I Myself make Myself known to a person, that I speak to him and instruct him and that every person can take part in these instructions if he wants to .... But he is not allowed to be forced, because free will is to decide for itself whether it grants admission to the flow of favour from above. That is why every ecclesiastical commandment is also to be regarded as compulsion, to which people now have to submit if they do not want to commit a 'sin' .... In complete freedom of will you should do what is demanded of you, then it will be right before My eyes .... For every thought, every direction of will is known to Me, and I already comply with the slightest will which applies to Me and fill the human being with strength to be able to carry it out. You men are not aware of what important factor free will is in your life, but would you be able to measure it that it is only about your will, that you must turn this towards Me to reach your aim, then you would truly detach yourselves will-wise from My opponent and push towards Me alone, who promises you a happy life in eternity .... And yet you must change your will of your own accord, you must by no means be influenced to do so, for My adversary also has the right to fight for your will, and I cannot protect you from it if he tries to transfer his will to you, but I can help you immediately if you are only willing to detach yourselves from him, for this gives Me the right to mentally influence you and to turn these thoughts towards Me. For this free will of yours I fight just as My opponent, but he has a far greater success to record in the times of the end, but also his following I will again snatch from him when he is banished for a long time. But you, who I still can win before the end, you will be spared this terrible fate of a new banishment, and that alone I still want to achieve that you all accept the favour of My word spoken from above, that I Myself can address you and then also guaranteed you take the way up, which all those can go, who give Me their will ....

Amen

In the state of compulsion progress is guaranteed .... but as human being? ....

B.D. 8936 from February 16th 1965, taken from Book No. 94

In all My creations, whatever they may be, developmental progress takes place, even if you humans are unable to observe it .... Yet you should believe My Word that nothing will fall back again into a state that had already been overcome .... This can only occur in the human stage because the human being is at liberty to travel the path of ascent or slide into the abyss again. And if you consider that it took you an eternity before you were allowed to embody yourselves as a human being, if you consider the infinitely long path which one day had to lead you to this incarnation for sure, you would also feel responsible during this time on earth, which is truly just a short time compared to the length of time of previous embodiments through the most diverse creations.

And yet, precisely this time as a human being is decisive for your later fate. For prior to this you travelled the path across earth in the state of compulsion, you could do nothing else but comply with My will and had to progress without fail. But now your way of life is a matter of your own free will .... What you had to do during your preliminary stages .... to be of service .... is now up to you, you are no longer compelled but love should motivate you to do so, however, you have to kindle this love yourselves, then your service will be an easy one and your course of life will lead to further progress .... Hence it is most important in earthly life that you are informed of the significance of a life of love, that you know its effect and the danger of a lack of love, which could result in your setback and would be dreadful for you. In the past I pulled you up Myself because you were pursued by My love which time and again created opportunities so that one day you could embody yourselves as a human being. But now I have to withdraw My will from you, I have to leave it up to yourselves to aspire to further progress .... Although I have given you the wonderful gift of grace for your earthly life as a human being .... by placing into you a tiny spark of My divine spirit, a part of Myself .... you have to ignite it yourselves, which is your task in life .... I had to give you this spark of love or you would have completely fallen prey to My adversary again who now also has the right once more to fight for your soul, which was not possible for him before. And thus on the one hand you indeed have to expect his onslaughts but you nevertheless have a counterbalance .... My divine spark of love .... with which you can keep him at bay, against which he is powerless .... always providing that you yourselves nurture this spark within you, that you make full use of My gift of grace, for then you will safely attain the goal that was given to you for earthly life.

However, if you ignore this spark of love then you will be subject to his control, he will always pull you down further and be able to dominate you again since you would grant him this power yourselves. In that case, however, the whole of your previous earthly progress would have been in vain and I would be unable to save you from another fall into the abyss ....

For this reason it is tremendously important that all people know about the Gospel of love, that all of you know what consequences a life of love entail and also know that you are responsible for your earthly life yourselves. For I can do everything, I can provide you with all opportunities, I can direct your destiny such that you will be able to find Me, but I cannot force your free will. You have to make the final decision yourselves, and all blessings are at your disposal for you to use .... Nevertheless it is up to you whether and when you reach the pinnacle from where you will no longer be able to fall into the abyss ....

Amen

God alone knows about the togetherness of substances ....

B.D. 8937 from February 17th 1965, taken from Book No. 94

The fact that you once voluntarily distanced yourselves from Me could not remain without consequences for you, for being close to Me also guaranteed you life, whereas you subsequently fell into a state of death. And life could only be when My ray of love flooded through you, but which you rejected and robbed yourselves of life. You therefore severed all relations with Me in freedom of will, and what therefore placed itself outside of Me, what stepped out of My eternal order, that lost life, because only My power radiation guarantees a life; if this can no longer touch the being, then it gives itself death, therefore it hardens in its substance and becomes completely lifeless through it. This is therefore actually to be understood by the fall into the abyss, for since the being lost all ego-consciousness, since My love dissolved it and the strength once radiated out of Me was now used for creations of all kinds .... since the original beingness was therefore dissolved into countless little particles .... all these entities only existed insofar as I alone knew which particles belonged to the fallen original spirit again, and I alone also let the being walk across earth again as a human being, who now shelters the fallen original spirit in himself as a soul. Do you know what this means that the spirit of light is in you, which was emitted out of Me in the beginning, but which was in death for eternities and which nevertheless once again holds all substances in itself, only that it is still in darkness at the beginning of the embodiment as man, which is without all knowledge, but has the possibility to procure it again when it wants it? And all earthly creations are the same .... spiritual beings which have come to death, which in innumerable fragmentations form exactly those creations which fill the whole universe. And I know about everything, about the degree of development those substances have reached; nothing is alien to Me, and I arrange all substances again such that in the end every fallen original spirit comes to life again, that it then also receives self-awareness and can recognize itself as once having come forth from Me. But it belongs to it that man makes an effort to live in My will, that he again reshapes himself to love, because only then through My love illumination he again reaches the knowledge, which he once gave away voluntarily, that he then again brings all divine qualities in him to development, that he again reaches perfection, which was originally his own as divine gift. Then man has brought about in free will what I Myself could not "create": He has transformed himself out of a "work of My love" into "My child" ..... And this "becoming children" was also the reason why I did not prevent the beings from their apostasy to the abyss, why I gave their will free rein when it turned against Me, only that they had to pay for this apostasy from Me with unspeakable suffering and agony, for the sin against Me was the rejection of My strength of love, without which the being could not exist and therefore became wretched. That My mercy was nevertheless meant for this spiritual and created possibilities for it to be able to cover the walk up, emerges from My unlimited love, which is meant for all beings, which My will once has put out. And that this love will also once reach the destination, that is certain, because nothing can resist My love for ever .... it once has to surrender to it ....

Amen

Assuming the will entails right thinking ....

B.D. 8938 from February 19th 1965, taken from Book No. 94

The will to serve Me relieves you of all responsibility, because what you now do, that is My will, as soon as it is about the vineyard work, as soon as you undertake something to serve the spreading of My word. You must always consider the one thing that you have set yourselves this task, that you made it your life task and that I therefore direct all your steps and your thoughts so as it is right, that you therefore do not need to fear to act wrongly, because everything what you do for Me and My kingdom, that is also for a blessing, and whether it also appears to you at times as the opposite. Always just consider yourselves as My tools, which I will always use there where they are expedient, and which make nothing out of themselves, but can always only carry out what the master hand determines them for. Because I still have everything in control, and whether you also possess free will, which I will not touch, but this will already belongs to Me, and therefore I can now use it according to My will. You will never be able to act differently than it is My will. Whatever you undertake, your thoughts will be directed by Me, because own thinking then switches off as soon as you have handed yourselves over to Me that I can lead and guide you. And the obligation to spread the truth will approach you more and more strongly .... Because the end commands this, and the time becomes shorter and shorter, which is still at your disposal. And enormous steps still have to be taken in order to open people's hearts for the truth .... Much work still lies ahead of you, but I always stand behind you as your master and assign the work to you .... and even if it sometimes seems as if the ways are inaccessible, which you are to walk .... Again and again I find an occasion to also convey truth to those, whom I still want to seize. But only very small is the flock, which I still can win for Me, but it is to be found in all layers. Individuals can be found everywhere whom I will count to My small flock, who are deeply impressed by the truth and want to escape from error. Therefore only ever let yourselves be guided, and don't fear that the guidance could come from the opposite side, for since I already possess your will My adversary can no longer have an effect on you .... For you yourselves have withdrawn his power over you; you have handed yourselves over to Me, and you will now truly act as it is My will ....

Amen

Contents of the transcripts .... present evidence of God ....

B.D. 8939 from February 20th 1965, taken from Book No. 94

From My kingdom only spiritual good can go to you; only spiritual treasures can be offered to you, which are foreign to the world, but which mean wealth in the kingdom on the other side for every soul, which can work with it for its own happiness and for the blessing of all those, who come over without all knowledge. When now this spiritual material is conducted to earth, then this can only happen with those men who consciously give themselves to receive the spiritual current, who prepare themselves for it by intimately connecting with Me and then listen inwards, because this spiritual material is not heard by the bodily ear, but the spiritual ear receives it, which now directs it to the intellect. This process is not understood by most men, but it is to be proven with the transcripts, which man cannot think up himself and therefore would also have to have an explanation in bodily dispositions, but which would ultimately also be put into man by Me Myself. But the content of these transcripts is an all-embracing knowledge, which a man cannot possess .... unless he has taken it from books, but that is out of the question. And so you can conclude with all certainty that you possess a present sign from Me Myself with this spiritual material. And still also men are not to be convinced of it, who are completely unbelieving, because these have no connection at all with the spiritual world, since they also make no effort to check spiritual receptions for their content, otherwise they would already feel touched by the peculiarity of this knowledge and think about it. But a clearer present proof can no longer be given to men, who stand too far from Me and therefore do not want to believe in a God and creator, out of whom they themselves have emerged .... And these therefore pass over in a state where they are completely empty and ignorant and run the risk to sink into the deepest depth when they do not still win a glimmer of knowledge there, what however is very difficult because they also then still reject everything and have no knowledge of their body death. The resistance of such souls is so great that they far sooner harden again and have to take upon themselves the state of new banishment. And still again and again My word is offered to them on earth, but no compulsion is done to their will. However, even those people who abundantly accept knowledge from Me will not be forced into it .... It is their own will, which drives them to this intimate union with Me, and their strong faith that I express Myself and they now expect My expression. This is certainly a great favour, which is given to man, but again it is the will to use it, which earns him this favour. You are all offered the favour to receive a treasure out of the spiritual kingdom, but how rarely only is the offer accepted .... Men are mostly earthly minded, and they pay no attention to what is brought to them out of the spiritual kingdom. But once they will have to give up everything earthly and then arrive over there naked and bare, and they will be able to offer nothing to no soul because they possess nothing themselves. And yet this alone is their bliss .... O would that all of you would draw more from My fountain of eternal love .... Would that you would all open yourselves to My words of love, which are only intended to give you the knowledge you once lost .... And you would enter the kingdom on the other side richly blessed and there be able to hand out again to the souls, which urgently need it. But your will is free, and as you decide, so is your lot in eternity ....

Amen

Does the "sounding" word protect against error? ....

B.D. 8940 from February 21st 1965, taken from Book No. 94

The sounding word is the sign of most intimate union with Me, which also gives you the guarantee for the truth of that what you are allowed to receive. You are then addressed so that you hear the thoughts like clearly spoken words, but not your bodily ear can hear this voice, but it sounds in the heart and makes you immensely happy. It is also a sign of unusual soul maturity, which enables man to receive deepest wisdoms out of Me, so that everything, what imparts a light to you, what gives you brightness of spirit, everything what is dictated to a receiver, is also to be regarded as a direct expression for My part, because he hears it when he writes it down. Only the degree of the receiver can be different, what determines exactly the depth of wisdom of his receptions. But one thing must be emphasized, that the intellect of every receiver can go its own way and that it must not be subject to any compulsion because of free will. And that is the decisive thing that man can also err when his intellect is not switched off, because also My opponent seeks to use it for himself, and I cannot defend him when he seeks to express himself through the intellect .... But man can defend himself against him when he always asks Me to protect him from all error. And so it is also possible that the opponent intervenes in questions, which he himself whispers to man, which he then also answers himself in the same way, that therefore also a voice sounds to him, which however touches him uneasily, but which he always puts down to a pure bodily state. But you men will likewise feel uneasiness when reading such receptions, and when you pay attention to it and intimately ask Me for enlightenment, then you will also be able to recognize it as error. Because you are to check everything and always consider that I can do no force to the will of man, and whether he is (was) still so close to Me and I could (can) further give him My spiritual gifts. But who carelessly reads over it, he gets into the same thinking, and satan has already won, whatever his intention is, that he confuses the hearts of men .... Nor could I have drawn his attention to his error afterwards, for his mind was now even more concerned with a question which was answered to him on the part of My adversary entirely in his will, for again and again I emphasize that I do not influence a person's will against him .... his will alone is decisive, which could also have turned to Me completely and then the pure truth would also truly have been imparted to him. And so it is now not a question that a man is protected from all error through the sounding word, but it is alone a question whether he also heard "My word" in the moment of receiving, because also My opponent can express himself in the same way, however his voice sounds in the back of the head, why he felt an indisposition thereby, which he attributed to his bodily state. No man is excluded from such harassments of the opponent, especially then when the request for protection from error has not preceded, which gives Me the right to push him away. And precisely because of My nature he wants to throw you humans into confusion, for this is his intention that you should not recognize Me correctly so that he will not lose you to Me. And exactly My nature I seek to reveal to you again and again through divine revelations, because every untruth prevents you to strive towards Me, to give Me all your love. And your view that a receiver of the sounding word must be free of all error has given him the best foundation .... And yet you conclude wrongly. And if you also now do not believe My corrections, then you will continue to walk along in error, because again I gave you information about the most important problem: about your creation in highest perfection, and you can draw your conclusions from it yourselves, which will also satisfy you with My help .... And consider that also John, the caller in the wilderness, was a high spirit of light, who descended to earth .... that also to him his thinking was free .... that I also did not determine him to think what is right .... that also at him My opponent tried himself, who whispered into his mind doubts about Me and My nature, about My mission .... because he had power over the human in him, and it was only at the will of John that a light was given to him about Me Myself. But I emphasize again and again that I force no man to believe, that I only want to make it easy for him to come to the right faith ....

Amen

1 Corinthians 15, 29 .... ‘Act of baptism on a dead person’ ....

B.D. 8941 from February 22nd 1965, taken from Book No. 94

Let Me explain what you desire to know: You can only be taught by My spirit, if you are unable to intellectually grasp the meaning of the words, because your intellect moves in the wrong direction, especially when it concerns a word which has not originated from Me. Then it is necessary to ask for My spirit which can and will provide clarification. There has never been an ‘act of baptism on a dead person’, however, there has been an ‘act of baptism of a dead person’ and you can only accept this as a symbol when someone takes pity on his fellow human being and wants to bring a ‘spiritually dead person’ to life and offers him the water of life and thus ‘baptises’ him by presenting My Word to him with love .... which is the meaning of ‘baptism’ after all ....

Time and again I have spoken of ‘the dead’, and time and again those dead in spirit were what I meant by that .... When I said to you ‘Let the dead bury their dead’ it was, after all, the most comprehensible word which had to make you all realise that I was speaking of the dead in spirit. And this is how the words spoken by My disciple should be understood, which more than clearly meant that every person should take pity on the spiritually dead. But that a person should let himself be baptised over a dead person is a distortion of the word, it did not even originate from Me and could not have been adopted by My disciples either. People have included purely worldly concepts which betrayed their low spiritual state. However, such concepts could have been recognised as wrong by every spiritually awakened person and may not be passed on as ‘My Word’ since such words cause immense confusion.

Anyone who understands the spiritual meaning of baptism will not let himself become confused by such words, he will recognise them as wrong and as not having originated from Me, Who will only ever give you explanations which will never contradict each other. And if I explained the significance of baptism to you comprehensibly then the distorted word cannot possibly be true because it would completely contradict My Word. Thus you have to believe what is conveyed to you through revelations because I do not want to leave you in your wrong thinking when you desire the pure truth ....

Souls in the beyond participate in teachings ....

B.D. 8942 from February 23rd 1965, taken from Book No. 94

You should always accept My instructions for only I can offer you truth, only I can provide you with the nourishment and drink which your soul requires in order to perfect itself. Although the time until the end is brief you will still be able to do much work in My vineyard, because just a single spiritual thought will attract untold souls in the beyond who gather around you, who all want to participate in order to receive food and drink, and whom I support in every conceivable manner. These souls shall partake in what I give to you and work with it in turn, and thus no vineyard work whatsoever is done in vain. They frequently ask questions which I will answer through you, for they have a considerable desire for knowledge, especially if they did not receive the correct explanation on earth .... if they were taught wrongly and now realise that their misguided knowledge is of no use to them.

Their most important question concerns a truthful explanation about Jesus Christ and His act of Salvation, and they cannot be informed often enough of the fact that they need to appeal to Him for their forgiveness of sin .... Only when they take the path to Him, when they have carried their entire guilt under His cross may they take pleasure in the light. Then they will receive My emanation of grace at the same time, then they may receive the light directly from Me. As soon as they gather around you they already have the will to receive a light, and then they only have to take a small step to find Jesus Christ and entrust themselves to Him. This work is so necessary for the souls in the beyond because it has an immense effect and signifies a countermeasure for the one who had already extended his hand to pull them into the abyss. Once the souls have found their way to you they will stay in contact with you, because My love has seized them and will never exclude them ....

But all these souls need to be informed of the truth, because every error is like a shadow that confuses their senses, and the souls had been subject to many errors during their earthly lives, which they gradually have to lose and thus need to know the truth. For this reason truthful information is conveyed to you humans on earth or you would have to cope with the same problems in the beyond, yet you have the great blessing to be taught by the Eternal Truth Itself. For every wrong concept you hold on to at the time of your passing from earth will follow you into eternity and can prevent you from accepting the truth when it is offered to you.

The reason why I draw your attention to so many misguided teachings is due to the fact that you should not enter the kingdom of the beyond in this state as well, that you should know the pure truth beforehand already and can then pass it on to those who also desire to know the truth .... The beings of the beyond have access to them all, every recipient of truth is surrounded by countless beings who all want to receive beneficial nourishment from them .... Hence the study group is vast and is also supported by the beings of light, who will only be listened to when the souls in the beyond have already gained a small amount of knowledge through earthly inhabitants. Then they will be open to their instructions too and proceed with their higher development. Those of you who receive the truth from Me directly should only ever aim to spread the truth throughout the world. Use every possible avenue that serves to spread My Word, and you will not have worked in vain .... For the end cannot be delayed, it is approaching with absolute certainty faster than you think .... it will surprise all people, and blessed is the person who knows the truth, which you can only gain through My Word ....

Amen

The human being is not a product of coincidence by a Creative Power ....

B.D. 8943 from February 25th 1965, taken from Book No. 94

The human being with all his vices, flaws and afflictions is easily inclined to believe that he was created like this by God, if he believes at all to have originated from Him. Yet this Creator would have to be denied all love and wisdom which motivated Him to create humans (beings); for in this case every person would merely be the product of a Being which is imperfect itself, which created the human being (the being) as a whim but which cannot be accredited with supreme perfection. Someone who is able to entertain such thoughts at any time is utterly unenlightened; he has formed a completely wrong concept of his Creator, for the existence as a 'human being' is only the stage of an infinitely long process of development but, at the same time, it is the most important stage, for during this time the being has to make its final decision of will in order to achieve its original state again in which it was once created .... You all need to know that your origin from the supremely perfect Being had likewise been a state of supreme perfection .... and that the state you are in now was created by yourselves, which was therefore not the work of your Creator of eternity .... You all need to know that it is only an intermediate state which you caused yourselves as a result of reversing your will but which you can change again into your original state if your will is likewise prepared to change. And therefore you have to fight against all your vices and flaws, you must try to change yourselves and create a state in which you transform all your flaws into virtues, in which your God-opposing relationship undergoes a change which will bring you close to Him and you approach the original state once more in which you once emerged from Him. You cannot look upon your human existence as a concluded life, you must always know that there was a 'before' and that there will also be an 'after' but that you, during your life as a human being, must make a decision as to whether you want to be free from every form or whether you want to fall back again into a stage which you had already overcome a long time ago.

But don't believe that you are a product of coincidence by a Creative Power Which arbitrarily externalised beings from within Itself which are more or less tainted by various flaws and vices .... believe that this Creative Power has to be accredited with love and wisdom of highest perfection and that It created you for a purpose .... to radiate Itself, that is, Its love, into Its created beings which, however, was prevented by these beings themselves .... thus, they rejected this love and thereby changed into the opposite .... into the beings which you are now as humans .... yet always with the goal to achieve your past nature again. And thus you should consider your time on earth merely as a passageway, consider it as a divinely planned designated return into your actual state, since you emerged in supreme perfection from the Creative Power. And you should know that you must make every effort during your earthly life in order to fight against all bad habits which prevent you from entering into unity again with your Creator of eternity, Who wants to be your Father, but that you will be infinitely happy if you succeed in changing, if you allow this change into love and by doing so may take possession of your Father's ray of love again, Who bestows this bliss upon you. For this is your only goal, to once again become what you were in the beginning .... supremely perfect beings, as they were when they came forth from God ....

Amen

After reading a book about Indian religions ....

B.D. 8944 from February 26th 1965, taken from Book No. 94

You have taken on the significant task of spreading the pure truth conveyed to you from above, which is especially important because it is opposed by My adversary everywhere. And you will realise that he is predominant because people’s nature turned them into his slaves, since they accept everything they are offered but are unable to distinguish where it comes from .... And yet it could be easily established, for if it is truth, Jesus Christ’s act of Salvation would have to be mentioned without fail. This act of mercy has to be emphasized as the quintessence of pure truth. And then you will be able to easily see what corresponds to the truth .... For I explicitly pointed out that every spirit who professes that Jesus Christ became flesh in order to redeem the world will not instruct you incorrectly either. After all, it concerns the fact that Jesus Christ is the Redeemer from sin and death ....

You humans are burdened by the offence of the original sin, and you can only be released from it by carrying it to the cross .... And you have to believe this .... Absolute proof cannot be given to you because you have to take the path to the cross voluntarily. Only this will result in a life of beatitude when you have to leave our earthly body and enter the kingdom of the beyond .... your true home, which will then also offer you the fate you aspired to on earth. You humans have to believe that you are the fallen original spirits, that the path across this earth is transient and only requires a test of will in order to regain your true nature, to create and work in My kingdom as blessed spirits once again, providing you don’t fail and then have to repeat the development through all works of creation ....

And this is the pure truth you should support since the extent of error is increasing, because people are experiencing the last days and My adversary is succeeding in deceiving them. He is so clever that he has found many gullible followers who, however, have fallen victim to mediums, to hypnosis, to self-deception through suggestion, all serving the same purpose again: to reject the divine ‘Saviour’ or to present Him as a ‘mere human being’, Who certainly pursued the highest goals but was not the ‘embodied Deity Himself’. However, anyone with the sincere desire to know the truth and who, through a life of love, shapes himself such that My spirit can flow into him, will also be given the knowledge of Jesus Christ and His act of Salvation .... If he does not receive it during his earthly life, then his degree of love is decisive in order to convey this knowledge to him in a flash when he enters the kingdom of the beyond. Then he, too, will utilise the blessings of the act of Salvation, he will hurry into the divine Redeemer’s arms and also find redemption from all guilt. Hence only a life of love is necessary to receive this knowledge which, however, will always be the same, because truth can only be what I Myself give to people who prepare themselves as a vessel for the spirit.

The fact, that beings of light are time and again willing to come to earth in order to convey the correct knowledge to people cannot be denied, yet they are faced with difficult conditions in relation to preconceived opinions .... as they belong to different schools of religion .... No matter how much people try to perfect themselves .... they can only achieve this by living a life of love. But then they are also open-minded for correct instructions relating to the divine Redeemer.

But where entire nations are inaccessible to the truth, where only individual people are willing to accept it, My love cannot exercise force, and I will be satisfied with an honourable way of life which will also bear fruit. But I will not divert from the truth in as much that I would apply different laws to other people, even if I admit that people with a high degree of maturity are able to take actions above and beyond their human abilities .... But then they also have the inner awareness of Jesus Christ as the ‘divine Redeemer’, Who has to be approached by everyone in order to be freed from their original sin. For only this knowledge will result in your blissful life in the spiritual kingdom, which you can expect after the death of your body. Because your existence on earth is transient, the spiritual kingdom is your true home where you will live again .... when you have found salvation through Jesus Christ .... in your true state, as it was in the beginning ....

Amen

Explanation about the 'existence as a human being' ....

B.D. 8945 from February 27th 1965, taken from Book No. 94

You have already been on earth for an infinitely long time, which you can truly call eternities .... albeit not as a self-aware original spirit, instead you cover this long path as minutely tiny particles so that you can regain the original state which was yours in the beginning. If you consider that you travelled through all creations .... since everything you see around yourselves, everything that is to be regarded as a work of creation, must be a spark of strength from Me, otherwise you would be unable to exist .... then you will also learn to look upon these creations as My once emanated spiritual beings which deliberately abandoned contact with Me but which .... since they are everlasting .... must also establish this connection with Me again one day, because it is and remains the law that My emanated strength will return to Me again. Only then will you judge the human stage correctly, in which you should establish this conscious connection with Me. And all creations around you will remind you to strive towards this final goal if you don't want to travel the path through the creations again, which you have now escaped with My help. And the fact that this is true must be believed by you, for it is conveyed to you by My spirit but cannot be proven .... yet only in this way can the whole of creation be explained to you, and I do so in view of the near end, in order to give you humans an explanation as to what you and the whole of creation basically are .... For the few who are open-minded recognise the only explanation therein, they recognise My infinite love, unsurpassed wisdom and infinite power .... And they don't doubt that it is true .... Yet far more people live in spiritual darkness and making the immense responsibility of earthly life clear to them will be a difficult task and will usually also be unsuccessful. But they will have to be prepared for a repeated process through the creations of the new earth if I don't recall them from earth before.

However, if people would for once only seriously ponder the question as to what they are, where they come from and what their actual task on earth is .... countless souls of light would answer this question for them, for these questions would result in one bright thought after another .... and the darkness would vanish. But as long as a small light is not kindled for you, so that you realise your life on earth is the final stage of a process of development after an infinitely long path of preliminary development, you will not live your life on earth conscientiously and .... if you don't live a life of love .... there is great danger that your earthly life will be a waste of time. On the other hand, if you live a life of love you need not know about your previous existence and will still reach your goal, for only love is needed in order to become fully mature on earth. But since love has grown cold during the last days before the end I try to address your intellect by informing you of your long earthly progress and explain to you the slow development of all creations in a purely intellectual way in order to make you to think about what your God and Creator intends to achieve by this. I only try to encourage you to reflect on this, because then beings of light will be able to intervene and mentally answer your questions. But if there is no more love among people and if they also refuse to spend serious thought on the matter, then there is no more hope for their deliverance, then the law will inevitably come into force which determines your renewed banishment into matter again. Yet My struggle for the souls will not slow down until the end .... And I will send My flow of grace wherever the possibility for a change of will still exists in order to increase the number of those who recognise themselves as having originated from Me, who want to return to Me again, who will enter the kingdom of light and have attained their purpose in life .... who are and will remain My Own forever ....

Amen

God does not require of man more than he is able to perform ....

B.D. 8946 from March 1st 1965, taken from Book No. 94

When you insert yourselves into the law of My eternal order, when you let My will be your concern, when you fulfil the commandment of love towards God and neighbour, then you also change your nature and slowly take on your original nature, where you did not move differently than in My eternal order, where everything was determined by the principle of love, where you could not work differently than in My will. And that is the aim, which you are to reach in earth life, which I constantly present to you through My word from above as being most highly blissful for you and about which I give you information how you can reach it .... And so that you are able to reach this aim, I provide you with power at the same time with the supply of My word from above .... You therefore need not fear that I demand something of you, which would be impossible for you to achieve .... because I only demand from My creatures what every creature can achieve, because My love towards you is so great that I will truly not overtax you, and because I also know that you are weak, because My opponent still has power over you. But immeasurable is also My treasure of favour, which is at your disposal, because I acquired this favour for you through My death on the cross .... Therefore you only need to make use of this treasure of favour to safely reach your aim. My adversary certainly has great power over you, but only your will is enough that he turns towards Me, and you then receive power in excess to make yourselves free out of his power. But this will must come out of you freely; I cannot and will not force this will, but also your opponent can exert no force on you. He certainly keeps you in darkness, but I bring you a light, in the shine of which you recognize the way, which you are to go .... it is only the way of faith and love .... This alone is the law of eternal order, into which you have to insert yourselves, if you want to reach Me and happiness. And when you accept that light, then also at the same time with the light the power is given to you to be able to live according to My will. And you will achieve the transformation of your nature with ease, because you are never without spiritual help, you just have to direct your look towards the kingdom, which one day is to receive you. And you will always feel this help; again and again the world of light will support you, because as soon as you just strive for your spiritual aim, you will also be provided from there with a power current, which makes every overcoming possible for you, which cannot be prevented by My opponent, because your inner thinking, which is meant for Me, wards him off and takes all power over you from him. But this aim should always be desirable to you, because then you will also get rid of your earthly form, and you can swing yourselves up into the spheres of light and happiness, while on the other hand you will be banished into matter again and everything already achieved so far is invalid, of which you cannot be warned seriously enough .... For all My love is meant for you, yet I cannot create a blissful state for you against your will, nor can I forcibly snatch you from My adversary's clutches, I can only ever help you to give Me your will yourselves .... But then your aim will also be secured, then you will insert yourselves into the law of eternal order, and then your fate can only be an exceedingly blissful one ....

Amen

Description of the process of the return work ....

B.D. 8947 from March 2nd 1965, taken from Book No. 94

Worlds will come into being and just as many will pass away again, for the number of fallen beings was so great that you cannot imagine it. But also My love, wisdom and power are unlimited, and they always only have one aim in mind, to lead all these fallen beings to perfection, to once again establish the original state, which was proper to all fallen in the beginning. Because again and again I tell you this that everything has come out of Me in highest perfection and that I will not rest until this perfection is reached again. And this work of return goes on in all worlds, which hold endless many thoughts from Me, which have become form, which all follow their purpose in legal order, which are as versatile as the sand on the sea .... but which also can cause every being, which has reached I-consciousness, to strive for the creator and shaper of all those worlds, and therefore already the first step to the return from the being itself is done. Therefore as long as creations of earthly material kind still arise, so long is the work of return still not completed, and eternities will still pass before the last fallen spiritual has covered the way up. But there will be no end of that what once has emerged out of My hand .... Only its state can and must change once, because no being can eternally remain distant from My love, only the resistance, which the being opposes to Me, is often so great that still eternal times will pass before it can take the way through creation(s), which then also once guarantees it perfection. And that again proves the power, which My opponent has over this spiritual, because it is only then withdrawn from its power, when it is bound in the creations of most different kind. Then it also irrevocably goes the way up .... even if in the law of compulsion .... but this is also progress for the being in its ascent development until it reaches the stage as man where now the opponent has influence on him again. But as long as he still prevents the hardened spiritual substance to let himself be captured by the love power of God, so long this spiritual only strengthens his power consciousness for him, which on the other hand lets My will to form become stronger and stronger to also wrest this spiritual from his fettering. And so he is and remains My opposite pole, which is indeed also inferior to My power when I want to use it .... But for the sake of the creatures, which once have to decide between Me and him, he will also still remain My opposite pole for a long time, until also he will voluntarily surrender to Me .... but then the work of return has succeeded Me completely and then only spiritual creations exist, which make all beings happy without measure and now will also no longer pass away. This is a description of the course of the return of the spiritual in short words, but for you the time is unthinkable .... you humans have to reckon again and again with the emergence of worlds which serve Me to bring this work of return to a conclusion. For I do not reckon with time and space, My spiritual world is endless, and My love has also given life to an endless number of beings who, however, have relinquished it and now return from the state of death to which they voluntarily entered. into which they voluntarily entered .... into the state of life again. And what the creations of those worlds hold are exactly those spiritual beings that have come to death, which are to win back their life again and this is well possible in the stage as man. But since also now again My adversary uses his power .... which he has the right to do because his following once followed him voluntarily .... earthly life is now also responsible, for the human being can certainly reach highest perfection but also fall infinitely low. But for Me time plays no role, because once also the poorest spirit will surrender to Me and My love, once also My opponent will return to his father's house and be happy in My love ....

Doubting the perfection of God ....

B.D. 8948 from March 4th 1965, taken from Book No. 94

Since only a short time is still given to you on earth, since the end is frighteningly close and therefore no time is at your disposal anymore, where you can work for Me, your task is also a far more difficult one, and it will require all your power, all your commitment, if you still want to be able to speak of successes. And it is also no easy work, which you are to do for Me, because it is still a matter to send a ray of light into darkness, which is to shine brightly, so that you recognize it, which darkness the opponent has already imposed on you, and you can only unmask his goings-on through a light from above. Believe it of Me that he always only wants to present Me and My image to you men distorted, that he thereby hopes for greatest success when My nature is presented to you wrongly, and that you men do not think about it because he also keeps your thoughts tied up. But I will again and again give you a light from above, although only few men allow such. But the few just have the task to carry the light further to give information about it that I am a God of love, who desires nothing more longingly than that He wins back His creatures as His children. And as a God of love I therefore reveal Myself again and again, as a God from Whom you once emerged perfectly, and that I will remain a God of love until all eternity .... As soon as you lose this belief that I can only be supremely perfect you will also have fallen prey to a misguided teaching which he, as My adversary, has only placed into the world in order to cloud your view, precisely so that you should no longer recognize Me as what I am .... And so he therefore succeeded in putting doubt into My perfection, and I therefore have to reveal Myself again and again anew and do this in view of the end with all urgency, by Me again explaining to men both the act of creation as well as the fall into the deep with all clarity, so that they are to think for themselves and have to recognize the nonsense of that what My opponent presented to them. Again and again he makes use of those who want to work for Me because he can intervene in their mind when only the opportunity is offered to him. But now the end is imminent, and I therefore sent a strong spirit of light to earth, which can offer resistance to him, and through this pure truth is once again supplied to you, which however likewise presupposes your free will to accept. For no coercion will be done to your free will. But I do not want that a man moves in wrong thinking, who is serious about truth. And that is why you are also to recognize your mission as urgent and serve Me with the whole use of your will. Because only in this way can clarity be given in that question, which also concerns the greatest problem .... the perfection of My being .... in which you all must believe if you don't want to doubt My greater than great love, which I bestowed on everything that came forth from Me and which truly did not want you to distance yourselves from Me either .... but which, in the end, also allows all evil you have done to take effect in such a way that it serves you for perfection .... You are never allowed to doubt My love, because it let you come into being; it continuously shone at you, and its effect was light and power, brightest knowledge and might, which also would never have withdrawn from you, if you yourselves would not have resisted its acceptance .... But then also the influence of that power on you was obvious, to which you had fallen prey, and this power will keep you in darkness, because you can only then resist its will when you express your desire for Me .... Then My love will be bestowed upon you again, then I will reveal Myself to you again and give you fullest clarity, and you will be able to distinguish error from truth .... For only through truth alone can you become blessed .... But error keeps you back in darkness, for it is its share, which is and will remain My adversary for an eternally long time ....

Amen

Confirmation of the prophesies ....

B.D. 8949 from March 6th 1965, taken from Book No. 94

Don't let yourselves to be misled, even if the truth of My messages from above is doubted .... It will not take long until you receive the confirmation of that which I constantly announce to you. Yet it is difficult to persuade people who are still too attached to the world and its commodities to accept them, but then the events will affect them even more, for they will have to relinquish everything and be thankful that they were still allowed to keep their life. It will be indeed be a time of severe trials for all people who will be affected by the natural disaster, yet everyone who turns to Me with complete faith will visibly receive My help. This is why you should not miss any opportunity to draw your fellow human beings' attention to My intervention, which, however, will also stop an appalling earthly event, and which will clearly show that this adversity is not inflicted on you by people but that I Myself determine the distress which every individual shall have to bear, and which will certainly not be any less grievous yet will have to be regarded as the action of a higher Power which no human being can fight with his own strength. And then you humans will have to decide as to whether you want to acknowledge such a Power or whether you still deny it even then .... and this alone will determine your future fate. For then you will be helped by a power which will totally enslave you .... You will treat you fellow human beings in a ruthless manner and obtain everything you need at their expense in order to continue living your old way of life .... And yet he will not release you from his control anymore ....

However, anyone who is profoundly faithful will not be abandoned, I Myself will give him the necessary strength to persevere, because his love for his fellow human beings is evident and .... the measure he will use .... will also be the measure he will receive, for nothing is impossible for Me. And they will miraculously experience My help and humbly accept their situation. And the fact that it will come to pass is already specified in the Scriptures and has been proclaimed by seers and prophets time and again. But there is no-one left any longer who so firmly believes this that he will unreservedly commit himself to it, and even the recipients of My Word experience moments when they feel slight doubts creeping up on them. Yet they will be repeatedly instructed by Me to reveal themselves to their fellow human beings, and they certainly faithfully accomplish their work in My vineyard. For the one thing they are convinced of is that the time of the end has arrived, and therefore they also consider that My intervention will be possible .... especially since it is also confirmed in the Scriptures that 'there will be an earthquake so mighty, such as has not been seen since men were upon the earth.' And thus all the prophesies will come true because My Word is truth and must fulfil itself, only the day and hour has not been made known to you humans. And this is why you always postpone the event into the distant future without considering that one day the future will be the present and, thus, one day those people who happen to live at that time will be affected .... Let it be said to all of you that the time granted to you on earth is only short, and therefore do not doubt My Word which I transmit to earth because I don't want you to remain ignorant of the events ahead of you, because you still have time to change if you sincerely wanted to do so .... but that you can also irrevocably fall into the opponent's hands again and be bound with him so that you will have to cover the process through earthly creation once more .... You cannot be warned of this often enough because it is a bitter fate that you will have to bear again. Nevertheless, it cannot be avoided, for everything must be judged again and lawful order be re-established, so that the spiritual substances which are still bound in the form can also be helped to travel the path of return to Me one day in the state of self-awareness .... which therefore requires a total transformation of the earth's surface ....

Amen

Unusual knowledge transfer ....

B.D. 8950 from March 8th 1965, taken from Book No. 94

You could not report out of yourselves about things, which are closed to your earthly knowledge, which were foreign to you until that time, when My spirit could work in you. And this must be proof to yourselves as well as to all who take note of it of a power, which wants to express itself, because you cannot simply deny such knowledge, because you cannot produce proof to the contrary. But you are nevertheless not forced to believe it because such a belief would be futile. But you should try to fathom that strength which gives you an account of the kingdom which lies beyond your earthly sphere .... you should take note of the fact that a 'being' expresses Itself Which wants to give you light about everything that is still hidden to you, because you can only be released from your spiritual blindness, which imprisons your spiritual eye, through knowledge of an unusual kind. Where limits are set to human intellectual thinking, there these limits will be exceeded through enlightenments which My spirit holds in store for you but which, again, will only be grasped by those who want to gain insight into the area which is mostly denied as existing .... but which, in truth, is the real world .... And to those I reveal Myself through My spirit by first imparting to them the knowledge about their outcome and the aim, by giving them knowledge about their existence as a human being .... about their past transgressions against Me and about the path of return to Me. Otherwise than through the work of My spirit in man no knowledge can be given to you about it, and also this work in you is dependent on the fulfilment of certain conditions, but all of you could fulfil these conditions, because I want to make every individual happy, if he just lets himself be made happy. But people lack the desire for correct, truthful enlightenment, and this is the sign of too firm a bond with the earthly world, which does not allow such thoughts to arise in them and therefore they continue to walk along in spiritual blindness .... And so also the process of an unusual imparting of knowledge is unbelievable for you men; you are easily inclined to put it down as religious raving or own fantasy, and also let yourselves be little impressed by the content, because no desire drives you to it to know the pure truth .... although it would be beneficial for all of you to learn about all processes in the spiritual kingdom before your existence as man, so that you would now know about the meaning of earth life. But because every compulsion is eliminated, so as not to take away your free will, I can only ever give you knowledge of it .... whether you want to believe it or not, that is up to you. But if you consider that your life is not over with the death of your body if you only wanted to believe this and that you then have to resign yourselves to the fate which earthly life has brought you, then you would certainly go through it more responsibly. You would also unhesitatingly accept that knowledge which truly gives you information about everything that moves your thoughts .... And you would establish the bond with Me yourselves, Who is the source of that spiritual knowledge Myself, because the darkened state in which you find yourselves lasts for Me when you walk across the earth without a light. Because everything what is and exists around you still proves to you a creator, and the legal order, which you are able to recognize, proves to you that this creator is a 'thinking being', that he himself has a will and therefore is to be addressed as the power, which is subject to everything .... but that this power is to be found in another area, which you are to strive for, because it is your true home. And to already know something about this kingdom, that you should all make an effort for, because everyone is considered according to his desire ....

Which way you take, that you determine yourselves in free will, however provided that you have knowledge both of My will as well as of the nature of My opponent, who always works against My will. And you will always experience this through the voice of conscience .... you will always have the feeling for good and evil in you, because you recognize the effect of good or bad action in yourselves. Therefore My will will also always prevail in you when you feel driven to good, while the work of the opponent triggers ignoble urges in you and you yourselves would defend yourselves when fellowman would let out such urges on you. And so every man can say that he very well knows when he commits an injustice because he rebels as soon as it is committed against himself. But My adversary then has him in his power, from which only one can free him, if he gives himself to Him .... Jesus Christ, the redeemer of mankind .... For He has broken his power with His death on the cross, and He has paid the purchase price for all sins of the past, present and future. He did it out of love for the fallen brothers. But these must accept redemption through Him in free will. Every man must recognize and confess himself as sinful and want to become free from the sin guilt, then also his will will experience strengthening, because Jesus Christ has acquired this favour of strengthening of the will for you at the cross. And exactly for the will of men the adversary fights with a perseverance to not lose them .... But also the light world wages the fight for them, and I Myself truly do everything to win them for Me. But I cannot force a person, just as My adversary cannot exert force either .... thus the human being himself makes the final decision. That is the test of will whether you men choose Me or My opponent to your lord, and you can be glad when the possibility of a decision is still offered to you in the kingdom on the other side, that you are also there still put before the choice to ascend up, when you still find the divine redeemer over there, or to sink again into the deep, that he then can completely take possession of you and you then again become irrevocably banished in matter. If My love alone would be determining, then I would free you abruptly out of his power, but this contradicts My law of eternal order; it would also contradict My justice, which demands atonement for all guilt and without this atonement cannot receive you into the kingdom of light. That is why you must acknowledge Him and ask for forgiveness of your guilt, Who has made this atonement for you vicariously. That you now completely disregard the gospel of love in the time of the end and that exactly this has caused your spiritual low, is to be regarded as work of My adversary, who himself, lacking all love, also seeks to stifle it in you to make the way back to Me more difficult for you. But only through love can you also regain My love, that it can shine on you and change you again to your original being. And that is why your state is also so hopeless when you do not desire this change yourselves, when the will does not awaken in you to unite with Me again, and you thereby take away My opponent's right over you .... But exactly this you have to accomplish yourselves, I cannot and must not induce you to it, because it is about your free decision of will, which alone makes a becoming perfect possible, even if I still have to wait eternities .... But one day I will succeed, one day you will voluntarily turn to Me, and you will voluntarily let yourselves be illuminated by My love again and be blissfully happy again, as it was in the beginning ....

Amen

God's support in the vineyard work ....

B.D. 8952 from March 12th 1965, taken from Book No. 94

You will be guided the ways where you are to bring My gospel, and it is nothing without meaning and purpose what you also undertake .... Because I know the hearts, which are still to be addressed, and who still opens himself for My gift of favour, he will also reach the destination, to the union with Me still on earth. But you know yourselves that not many will listen to you anymore because the earthly world still holds them captive. Nevertheless, you should not refrain from trying, for individuals can be found everywhere who will listen to you and who will be impressed by the spiritual knowledge you offer them. Because also their souls desire a feeding, and they feel your words beneficently, because I also know exactly when they are receptive for it, and I therefore speak to them Myself through you. Always just pursue your vineyard work; do not become despondent when you seem to have no success, because I know to direct all thoughts; I know about the possibilities, which you do not know, but which are decisive that they feel touched by My word. Always consider that already a small hint is enough to help them to believe in a God, who takes care of all men in love, who wants to rescue them from the abyss and who therefore speaks to you. Consider that you have the possibility to give them proof .... Try to make it clear to them in all love that they only need to call upon Me in spirit and in truth in order to be able to expect help from Me in every adversity of body and soul .... But leave the decision up to them .... And you have done what you could do, for every man's heart must of itself take the way to Me .... This is the task of the disciples of the end-times, which they are to fulfil loyally and conscientiously, that they are active in My name, that they carry the gospel out into the world, that they emphasize love towards God and towards the neighbour as most important, the fulfilment of which then also guarantees an eternal life in happiness. You all no longer have much time, and your activity therefore becomes more and more urgent; you are not allowed to become lukewarm and indifferent, because you have offered yourselves to Me as mediators, who address men instead of Me, but whom I also need, because I cannot address men Myself, and you are to fulfil this task dutifully. But rarely only will a servant, who has offered himself to Me for service, put this task on hold; rarely only will he slacken in the spreading of truth, because again and again this truth is sent to him from above and he therefore recognizes the urgency, because as soon as I Myself can have an effect in him, he has also completely surrendered himself to Me will-wise, and he is guided by Me all ways, as I see it as beneficial. And the near end dictates that every servant uses all his strength to still contribute to the salvation of souls, what is possible for him. But you can be sure of My support .... I want to fill each one of you with strength; I always want to give you a hint when you are to address a person and bring him My word .... service for Me will always be an inner need for you, you will take pleasure in it and not feel it to be a burden, for all those who serve Me are My children who are also assured of their father's blessing ....

Amen

God's everlasting help to completion ....

B.D. 8953 from March 13th 1965, taken from Book No. 94

I know no other aim than to make you happy forever, and even if you have to go through suffering and tribulation on earth, everything serves to reshape you again into what you were in the beginning: perfect beings, but which have now become My 'children' of their own free will, with whom I can create and work in all bliss .... But since it concerns a state which no longer has an end, your earthly life is only a very short moment and therefore also all suffering and all tribulation is limited. And you will thank Me that I used all these means to form you so that you can enjoy eternal happiness, because you can now supply light even to the still imperfect; you can take part in the redemption of innumerable souls, which still cover the course over earth with the same aim to also reach perfection. And these souls all still have to feel great suffering and affliction; they still stand in the midst of the fight against the dark forces; they have not yet decided for Me, and that is why the hardship will become more and more violent, because mankind has mercy on Me, because it stands shortly before the end, and I still use all means to make the decision for Me easy for them .... Yet I will only achieve little success with it, and yet I give all people the assurance that they will one day reach the aim, that I will not leave any soul in darkness for eternity, that it will one day return to Me .... Yet the souls themselves determine the length of time until their return .... For they are subject to the law of time and space, and they will remain subject to this law until they have perfected themselves, until time and space are eliminated for them .... until they can dwell where they want, and also past, present and future are no longer separate concepts for them. Then they will also only see the past as a moment; they will certainly be able to put themselves into it, but no longer feel pain; every event will be understandable to them, because they recognize it as means of My love and therefore sing praise and thanks to Me that I helped them to perfection. Then your earth life is truly only like a moment, measured in eternity .... But as man you are still equipped with the concept of time and space, which only stops with your perfection, because also this is the result of your fall to the deep, that you became limited in all sensations, however always only both to your own agony as also to the relief of earth existence, because only that could be imposed on you, what you are able to carry. But nevertheless, during earthly time you also have the opportunity to place all burdens on His shoulders, Who died for you and your guilt of sin on the cross .... if you hand yourselves over to Him, then everything will seem bearable to you, and you will patiently take everything upon yourselves and thus also reach the aim more easily .... to complete union with Me, Who then can also prepare bliss for you without measure. But as long as you yourselves prevent Me from it, by you not acknowledging Me and therefore deny Me as before every acknowledgment, you are also powerless, because My love cannot illuminate you, therefore you will also feel every suffering stronger; you will go through earth life in agony and tribulation or be supported by My opponent, who demands your soul for it. But suffering is a sign that I will not let you fall, that I wrestle for your soul because you do not yet want to accept My love .... which would also avert suffering for you .... Take it upon yourselves patiently, and know that I do everything to turn your looks towards Me, and take earth life only as a temporary test, which you have to pass .... It will pass, just as everything earthly is transient .... But if you emerge from this test purified, you will thank Me eternally for having saved you from a fall into the abyss, which will result in the endless long walk through earth's creation again ....

Amen

Creation miracles should make you think ....

B.D. 8954 from March 14th 1965, taken from Book No. 94

Again and again the wonders of creation are pointed out to you, and you should not blindly pass them by, for everything around you proves Me and My might, yet you humans are incapable of letting even the tiniest little plant, the smallest living being come into being .... not to mention yourselves as the crown of creation. And you move in the midst of the whole creation as something completely independent and self-evident and do not ask what meaning and purpose creation serves. And everything should still remind you of a creator, who is exceedingly wise and powerful and Whom His love determines to create such an environment for you, in which you are to enjoy yourselves. You yourselves .... as the greatest marvel of My creation .... you can think, and you only apply this privilege to create for yourselves everything that would be added to you in vain if you would think about the meaning and purpose of creation and yourselves and now live according to this purpose. Because as I maintain the whole creation, so also I maintain your bodily life and all worry about it would be useless. But the thoughts of men go other ways .... what is nearest to them they pay no attention to, nor do they think about the creator and sustainer of all things .... But every such thought would be answered for them out of the kingdom of light, and that truly so that they would now also see in Me as their creator the motive why and for what purpose I have put man on earth. And such an attitude would be right and would soon let man mature that he would fulfil the meaning and purpose of earth life .... But how different is it with the creatures, which My will has put into this world? They carelessly pass by what I have given them for joy, and not with one thought do they dwell on Me and ask themselves about the reason of their earth life. But with increased eagerness they chase after the world with its goods, and their whole wanting and thinking is meant for the bodily well-being. But exactly the earthly world is the kingdom of My adversary, whom I certainly overruled by letting creation come into being, therefore took his following from him, but had to leave him his rule over you in the stage as man, where he now seeks to have an effect on you again with all power through "his world", through hard matter, in which the whole immature spiritual is bound .... And exactly this "matter" you strive for and in your desire you go far back, because it was eternities ago when you had overcome this matter and had advanced upwards in your development. And that is why you are so endangered by your desire for earthly goods, because as soon as it fills your whole sensing, you will hardly still look at the creation around you and also not ask yourselves for what purpose I let it come into being. And precisely this question could become a blessing for you, because then you would recognize your creator as a God of love, wisdom and might, to Whom you could turn and establish a close bond with Him .... And your purpose of earthly life would be fulfilled, for I truly do not ask much of you, I only want one thing, that you should recognize and learn to love Me. And the work of creation around you is most capable of that, that you look at all these miraculous works in thoughts of Me and your love towards Me grows and you want to get into contact with Me to now no longer loosen this bond. Creation is therefore proof of My existence and My love for all created things; you can recognize Me Myself, and you will also know that only love has allowed it to come into being. And you will ask yourselves why My love thus became effective .... And the answer will always be given to you if you earnestly desire it, for light will come to all who desire light ....

Amen

Only prayer protects from the adversary's activity ....

B.D. 8955 from March 15th 1965, taken from Book No. 94

The closer it gets to the end the more violent becomes My adversary's activity, and you all will feel it, for no day will pass by without causing you unrest or tasting his treachery in other ways. And nothing else helps but your prayer .... your connection with the One Who is his Lord too, Who defeated him through His death on the cross. A heartfelt prayer will re-establish the inner peace which he wants to deprive you of. For his power will be defeated when you turn to Me, no matter how much he strives to agitate you. The battles against him become increasingly fiercer for he will not let up pushing you, and time and again I have to tell you that only prayer will protect you from his activity. For then you demonstrate that you are looking for Me and want to be released from him, and then I can use My power against him, I can prevent him from continuing his harassments since then your own will gives Me the right to deal with him.

But in the last days his rage will become ever stronger, and yet he will not succeed with My Own, with those who desire Me with all their heart and call upon Me for My protection. And whom else would I rather protect than My Own, who always want to be in contact with Me and have offered their services to Me? You should just believe that I also have power over him, that you have not been defencelessly left at his mercy and that you will have the strength to repel his every intrusion. And you should draw this strength from My Word, you should always engross yourselves in this Word and then you will be surrounded by light which he, however, avoids and so you will be released from him.

And don't allow yourselves to be held captive by the world, for then he can enter secretly and entice you with its goods .... Then he will also have a certain amount of power over you which you won't recognise since he is able to deceive you. However, in that case I cannot help you, for you hand yourselves over to him and forget about Me, and then you will have to struggle for your inner bond with Me, only then will you realise what it means to have detached yourselves from Me, for once he owns something he holds on to it. But I won't let anyone fall who seriously desires Me, he will just have to struggle considerably in order to get back to the same level he had previously been on ....

Make sure that the adversary will not gain power over you and call on Me in your ordeal, for I Am always willing to help you if your call comes from your heart. Just don't let the world get the better of you, for then you will be served by the one who is lord over this world, and all I can do is wait until you find the way back to Me ....

Amen

Free will must be granted to every human being ....

B.D. 8956 from March 28th 1965, taken from Book No. 94

I will always and forever respect the freedom of the will of My creatures. Because free will is the sign of the divinity of the beings, which no-one will force, neither I Myself nor My opponent. But man can subordinate this free will to Mine in the stage of his being on earth, which means so much as that I now can judge him Myself and he is then therefore relieved of all responsibility. But as long as he still lives on this earth as man he will again and again be exposed to the oppressions of the opponent, and he will again and again try to have an effect on his will, because only in the state of perfection the opponent has lost power over him, because he then is radiated through by My love, which the opponent flees .... But the adversary can only have an effect on a person insofar as he works on him mentally, that he stimulates him to sinful activity, to violations of the lawful order .... in any case to all God-opposing action, because every action is first preceded by the thought and this is just the direct influence of satan. The beings of light will have the same effect on man, and this fight takes place uninterruptedly in the spiritual kingdom for the soul of man, but which now man himself brings to an end. And since every man still has weaknesses in himself or some shortcomings, the opponent again and again finds a niche, whereby it is always mainly about to confuse man mentally, because every act is rooted in thought. And since man's will is free, he can also turn the thoughts according to every direction. But since I now also have to reckon with it that My opponent intervenes when it is about the supply of pure truth .... since I cannot possibly make the will of man unfree, who offers himself to Me (as word receiver) for it .... it is understandable that only the most intimate bond with Me can exclude the danger of error, which therefore now has to be established in order to be safe from the influence of the counter-spirit .... Although spirits of light always made themselves available for the purpose of a mission, they nevertheless had to go through the abyss, thus they were not spared human weaknesses and mistakes, and their life is often extremely difficult .... So it is now to be understood that they well fulfil their mission and yet their free will also does not prevent the reception of erroneous thought material, if the heartfelt call for protection from error does not precede it .... For I cannot protect the human being from mental deceptions by the adversary if he does not desire this protection himself and thereby completely surrenders himself to Me .... So you also have to reckon with the fact that wrong thought material entered by My opponent has always crept into divine revelations, because the train of thought could be deceived exactly there, where a certain thought was discussed, whereby I was not asked for answer before .... But now the same danger exists that the free will of a man is worked on by the opponent, and you can have the same concerns .... But in the face of the end, where it is about the supply of light into the dark earth valley, I sent a strong spirit of light to earth, who indeed also .... like every other man .... must have his free will at his disposal, who also takes it no less seriously to serve Me as a 'word recipient', but to whom I Myself can grant protection against all error because he asks for it, because he is also not burdened with a previous knowledge which My adversary took as the occasion for a misguided teaching of such great importance that My former servant did not want to free himself from it .... but it is also so extraordinarily momentous that I have tried again and again to correct it .... But that is exactly what men hold on to, always relying on the credibility of him, who also could be wrong because he had free will. You must always consider that I never ever use coercion, and whether it also applies to bring the highest wisdom to you men .... that you are free and must remain so, because otherwise I would act against My law of eternal order .... But men who wanted to be instructed in the pure truth also took offence at it, and their thoughts came closer to the truth .... So only the blind resigned themselves to it and gave credence to a teaching that confronted Me with evil .... a teaching in which My adversary has the greatest interest because it makes Me out to be deficient, as I can never be. And a cleansing wave will now go over earth where this question will be discussed so that all who earnestly desire truth will also see clearly why and why such error could creep in .... Because free will explains everything, but which is also not allowed to be denied to a 'word-recipient' and which he himself only needed to voluntarily subordinate to Me, but which he has omitted with that question ....

Amen

Full trust in God and His love ....

B.D. 8957 from April 2nd 1965, taken from Book No. 94

Only always commend yourselves to My mercy .... And it will be granted to you in abundance .... I am able to work everything, and so also I can remedy every bodily weakness when you entrust yourselves to Me believingly. Because everything is possible for Me, the most powerful being in infinity, Who gives His love to every one of His creatures. But whose trust is so strong that he has not the slightest doubt about this My power and love? You are well convinced that it is possible for Me, but not that I want to and can supply you Myself with proof that My love is also so great and wants to help you in your trouble. And this doubt about My love is what ties My hands, that love cannot work in all its strength and let you recover in an instant .... Believe in My love, which knows no limit, which has followed you to the deep and which is valid for you until all eternity .... (2.4.1965) Because My love never stops, and it wants to make you happy. And this love has also not decreased through your falling away to the deep, because since My original being is pure love, such would be impossible, because it knows no limitation. And once you men imagine this that only love determines My whole being, then also no doubt could be anymore in you that this love is always prepared to help you .... But one thing is a prerequisite that you return love to Me, that you also feel love towards Me, even if not to the same extent, because you are not able to do it, but it must fill your whole being. But then you could also believe, and you would trust Me without hesitation that I fulfil all your requests. But even if you do not experience My love as you wish, you can still be convinced that you possess My love, for I truly know what serves you best, and furthermore, I am willingly prepared to take your cross upon Myself if you want to burden Me with it, if you believe that you cannot bear it on your own .... Therefore bear all suffering patiently and humbly, for earthly time passes quickly. But one day you will also thank Me for it, because you can radiantly enter the kingdom of light and bliss .... because then you will be rid of all dross and you can now enjoy all glories until all eternity ....

Amen

Divine mercy spring ....

B.D. 8958 from April 3rd 1965, taken from Book No. 94

When the divine flow of favour pours into a man's heart, then a spring opens, out of which you can draw living water, which will also never ever run dry, as long as man's will is prepared for it. For I Myself have given you this promise that rivers of living water will flow from your body, and how else would My words be understood? You yourselves are able to receive My divine spirit current and to let it flow on, because I want to send this love care to you, that you receive power from Me directly and can provide yourselves again and again anew with power for your pilgrimage on earth, so that you do not sink down powerless in a desolate area, where still the long way up lies before you. Because My love does not leave you without help; it is always prepared to supply you with food, with a fresh drink of life and with a delicious bread, at which you can feast. But you must always be prepared yourselves to open the source in you, and you must also let your fellowmen take part in the delicious gift, which flows towards you uninterruptedly. Because you all need it quite necessary, if you want to end your earth way powerfully; you all are to be fed with heavenly food, to once be able to reach your destination, to return to Me, from Whom you once started. Until My flow of favour can touch you, you are still in densest darkness, because that is the bread of heaven, the living water, that you are to again take note of the cause of your being on this earth. You are to again win a knowledge, which has been lost to you and you are to receive such knowledge from Me Myself, Who opens up this source, wherever a willing heart is found. For with knowledge you also receive the strength to fulfil your earth task, you remain in constant contact with Me, otherwise My flow of grace could not touch you, and you are certain to reach your aim, for you have detached yourselves from My adversary, who no longer has you under his control because you turn to Me .... And so therefore all My promises come true for him who also fulfils the conditions, which I have attached to it. Because all My words, which I spoke on earth, were not spoken in vain. But who still respects them? They have become empty words to which you men no longer give meaning, which you speak without being aware of their great meaning. But My word is spirit and life, it gives you spiritual knowledge and thus true life, just as everything that comes forth from Me will give life to the dead .... And dead you all are at your embodiment as man, and you are to be awakened to life .... But that which is slow to come to life must be nourished with strong food and refreshing drink .... And such food I offer to all of you, but leave it up to everyone to accept it, but blessed is he who comes to My table and lets himself be fed and watered by Me .... He will come to life and never lose this life again .... Every man can prepare himself as vessel of My spiritual current, and I will also consider every man according to his love and his degree of maturity, but which he will always increase the more he receives from Me .... Everyone who establishes the intimate bond with Me can also feel addressed by Me, for this bond guarantees him right thinking, and thus every person need only pay attention to his thoughts .... but he should not accept the thoughts of those who are not yet in intimate bond with Me themselves, he should only ever consult himself and know that he then cannot think wrongly, providing he is not pre-loaded with knowledge which he is not prepared to surrender .... Then he must first free himself from it and unconditionally hand himself over to Me and I will instruct him according to My promise that I will pour out My spirit upon all flesh, for truth will not be denied to anyone who earnestly desires it .... But when you humans are obviously led to a spring from which My living water flows, then lie down by it, draw from the water of life and gather strength for your earthly walk, for truly, you will then have found a flow of grace which will safely lead you to the aim .... to unification with Me, to the final return to your father's house ....

Keen intellect is an obstacle to correct realisation ....

B.D. 8959 from April 5th 1965, taken from Book No. 94

It is not a good sign if people lose themselves in unbelief, for then they will be beyond every contact with their God and Creator, they will be purely earthly minded and everything they undertake will only serve the body's preservation and comfort which, however, will cease to exist when the person's last hour has come. And where the only purpose in life is the earthly world, life on earth is a waste of time, the human soul leaves its body in the same state as it was at the beginning of its embodiment and will not have taken one step forward, people will have missed their purpose in life regardless of their highly developed intellect .... It is precisely their keen intellect which prevents them from recognising a spiritual world if they are entirely without love, then they will flatly deny a God and Creator and consider all creations merely a matter of natural law without spending any thought on the fact that there has to be a Lawmaker Whose will controls everything .... In that case, the human being's 'higher stage of development' will have already been reached in a purely human sense .... Through his intellect the human being believes himself to be in the vanguard and almost cannot be surpassed anymore, but in his psychological development he has not made the slightest progress and yet he can be inferior to someone far below his level, because the latter will be judged by God according to his love, which also causes him to believe in a Deity .... regardless of what he calls It .... And if this person, on account of his love, also allows the working of the spirit in him, he will come close to the right way of thinking, and then he will be saved for time and eternity. And so there is also the risk that even people to whom a certain belief in a God cannot be denied will join misguided spiritual movements, to which they adhere with great tenacity, who don't want to accept Jesus Christ as the Redeemer of the world and who therefore .... if they don't receive the right explanation before .... will enter the realm of the beyond without Him when they die .... and even over there not accept anything in order to still find Him. And there are a great number of those .... For this reason, the light of truth will shine time and again, for truth alone is liberating. But the truth, in particular, is not accepted by people with an unusually keen intellect apart from a few, who will then think correctly and feel dependent on an all-controlling power .... These few will take their worldly knowledge across with them as well and from there they will also be able to enlighten those people in regards to worldly questions who think like them by acknowledging God .... but this will only seldom be the case.

The others, however, will enter the beyond entirely without knowledge, they will stand completely empty and poverty stricken at the gate to the kingdom of the beyond, embraced by profound darkness which will not recede until they, with the help of the beings of light, gradually achieve a change of thinking. But there is also a danger that they will descend even further into darkness and that they will approach a renewed banishment again which, at the end of an earthly period, can easily be the case because they will not have much time left to change their mind. Hence their 'progressive development' will be of no use to them at all, spiritually they will be far more like a human being who is disregarded due to his race and yet is able to kindle love within his heart, who still believes in a God, regardless of how he imagines Him to be but he feels and believes that he emerged from this Power .... And when a person like this is informed of the divine Redeemer Jesus Christ as well he will also belong to the redeemed, for especially people like that take it far more seriously and live their earthly lives responsibly .... For the saying 'The first will be last ....' also applies to this. This is why a great blessing rests on the messengers' activity who care for those people by bringing them the Word of God, who spare no effort and selflessly promote the distribution of the teaching of salvation through Jesus Christ, since it is the most important information people should know about. However, anyone who believes that life has come to an end after earthly death has used his keen intellect badly, for there is enough evidence that nothing passes away but that everything merely changes, nothing ceases to exist but that everything merely changes its external shape. And thus the human being's soul is everlasting too, but after death it reverts to the way which corresponds to its earthly life .... Hence, it returns to the state of death since it failed on earth to give life to itself .... And this state is extremely painful but can always still be improved with the help of the beings of light, which will never leave any soul to its own devices if it does not harden in its substance again and has to take the path across earth once more. For God is righteous and earthly life is a gift of grace which has to be utilised by the human being, since it is possible for him to gain the life for himself which will make him forever blissfully happy .... However, he cannot receive happiness against his will, for God respects the free will of men ....

Amen

Love recognises the error in the beyond .... Intercession ....

B.D. 8960 from April 7th 1965, taken from Book No. 94

Everything that still is and has to remain hidden from you on earth, because your state of maturity would not be able to comprehend it, will be revealed to you. But as soon as you enter (the kingdom of the beyond) with just a small amount of knowledge you will know that you can raise your awareness at any time .... You will know that you only need to be actively loving in order to receive without measure. But you need to have this small glimmer of light, then you will automatically get to the place where further knowledge is available, and your higher development will continue. And your longing to hear increasingly more intensifies the more knowledge you are given, because My gifts are unlimited but they always have to be wholeheartedly desired .... And thus, every human being living with love on earth also knows that he has a light which illuminates the path he has to travel. Only love will be taken into account, and thus the soul’s state corresponds to its degree of love when it enters the spiritual kingdom. But then it will also recognise the error as such and detach itself from it, for no beatitude can be expected from error. Misconception confuses (people’s) thoughts and has to be preceded by a long struggle before the soul is released from it ....

The fact that most people pass away from earth with misconceptions would be of little consequence had the person overcome his selfishness and lived in unselfish neighbourly love. Then he would automatically arrive in places where a light is shining, where it is either radiated to earth or conveyed to him by the messengers of light. Hence his fate depends on the degree of his love, and only I can recognise this since no thought is hidden from Me. If a human being endeavours to reach Me .... if he is only interested in doing what pleases Me, he has proven that he wants to fulfil his task on earth. If he then takes the wrong path, which makes it difficult to find Me, then his will for Me is taken into account and I will help him to attain perfection.

But only a person who accepts his neighbour as his brother can love Me, because selfless neighbourly love is always proof of love for Me .... given that I ignore mere words without a living faith. In that case, however, the soul will not disassociate itself from error either, because only love is the light which provides the soul with a glimmer of knowledge. Then the person’s entry into the kingdom of the beyond is just a continuation of what was more important to him than his love for Me, then he remains subject to error until he is able to free himself from it. But since you humans on earth do not know in what state a person leaves earthly life, and you cannot be directly informed of it either because you should forward intercessory thoughts for all souls, this intercession is indeed necessary if you want to protect each soul from a potentially very long time before it can free itself from error. You can only be certain that outright souls of love will enter the spheres of light, all other souls require your intercession. And they will be truly grateful to you for it, after all, only a loving prayer sent to Me will be helpful .... and not the prayers of congregations, which are intended to help the soul to beatitude.

Remember the deceased, and let them know that you want to give them My Word to enlighten them, which is food and drink for the souls, nourishment to strengthen them, because many souls are still suffering great hardship by living in twilight, if they are not entirely engulfed by profound darkness. Even then you can release these souls through heartfelt prayer, they will feel blissful relief and gradually let go of their opposition to Me .... I want all souls to find salvation even now, I don’t want them to be devoured again by the abyss. I want that Jesus Christ’s act of Salvation is brought to them time and again, which they will comprehend ever better the more light they are given. For loving intercession is strength which will benefit every soul you pray for .... All souls appeal to you for this because they are unhappy as long as they have not found salvation through Jesus Christ, Who died on the cross for all sins ....

Amen

Matter is compressed spiritual strength ....

B.D. 8961 from April 10th 1965, taken from Book No. 94

All My creations are the fallen spirits, original beings, who once refused their activity and were transformed therefore to all those creations, which you see, and even those, that are hidden from your eyes, but serve the fallen spiritual partly as an external cover, or even more are bound themselves in the creations of all kinds. You must know, that I let arise the creation, because of the fallen spirits, but that also spiritual creations arise and are purchased, that My will alone created for the world, which moves in the light, but that these creations are incomprehensible for you, because they belong to the glories, that I have prepared for them, who love Me .... So everything visible to you .... even the most distant stars, which are visible by you as sparks of light .... the world, which has created My boundless love for the fallen spirits, but in their own way so versatile, that it can also absorb the spiritual in all stages of maturity, but are not recognized by you. But what you can not see .... that are spiritual creations, which My constant creative drive turned out, which only can be seen by you, when you have obtained a level of maturity, that allows you the spiritual insight. The number of fallen beings is incomprehensible for you and requires an infinite number of school buildings. You can not view allone the creations of the earth as such, even when there is spoken of “earthly“ matter .... but all these creations are more or less solid substance, which have removed from Me further or closer depending on the grade of their apostasy, or also spirit beings, who have already reduced the distance from Me and have not yet reached the highest abundance of light. But all those beings once followed My opponent, when he apostatized from Me, but he could not stop them, when they separated from him and did not plummet to the extreme depth. I used their substances to those creations, that could have far easier living conditions, consequently did not require those poor and miserable creations, like the earth has to have, because the hardest substances should come to mature on her, (this maturation) however only may be terminated on this earth to reach a childship to God. My versatility is not limited and ( so=the Eds.) you may behold always new creations during your maturation, when this life on earth did not obtain you the success, that you can go in the kingdom of light completely spiritualized, where you expect beautiful spiritual creations, which will bless you unmeasured. But that I also can create matter, that is non-fallen spritual being, that does not need to be doubted, because to Me nothing is impossible and all matter is compressed (spiritual) strength, which has thus been compressed to form .... But such a process takes place only then, when I self pursue a certain intention with this, how that has happened, when I created an outer shell on a pure spirit of light, in which I wanted to embody Myself and this can not be eternal in a once fallen soul .... For even a non-fallen spirit, that crosses the earth for the purpose of achieving a childship to God, must pass through the depth and therefore will need an earthly body, but which reaches far faster ripening, in which the resistance against Me is easier to break and also achieves his aim with certainty in one earthly life .... But I know about the state of each individual soul, and it is My desire, to wrest the souls from My opponent in the possible shortest time and thus to turn away one soul after another from the original spirit Lucifer .... so that in the end only the lost son remains, who will devote to Me, who I take in, because he has returned to his Father’s house ....

'Test the spirits whether they are of God ....' 1 John 4:1-3 ....

B.D. 8962 from April 13th 1965, taken from Book No. 94

The human being's will must remain free, it can neither be forced to accept nor to reject something, for this is the law of divine order. However, it will always be possible to recognise what you are offered through My great love and grace, therefore you should not rashly renounce something just because it exposes existing errors and provides you with a truthful explanation .... Consider that you are only offered something better, that you ought to let go of negative thoughts which give you a wrong image of Me .... consider that something is merely being corrected that cannot be reconciled with My perfection .... Furthermore, consider that it cannot be the work of an evil spirit which provides you with clarification about Jesus and His act of Salvation .... Also remember that nothing remains as unchanged as it once originated from Me, because no human being exists who is already perfect and that therefore every person can also err .... but that I, if an error has occurred, must always correct it again in order to guide you into the pure truth once more. If the explanations about Jesus Christ and His act of Salvation therefore make you humans realise that it can only be the working of a good spirit .... and if you are repeatedly informed of the fact that in the very beginning I externalised you in all perfection .... if I only ever describe the act of creation to you in a way that you need not doubt My perfection, then I also have had My reason for this, which consists of the great error far too many people have accepted by now .... Hence I had to refute it and choose a vessel for Myself, whose credibility can always be verified by you through the clarification about Jesus Christ and His act of Salvation, about the reason and significance of the same.

And truly, only I Myself could have addressed you, only I Myself could have explained all correlations to you and provided you with the evidence that you are addressed by Me .... So why don't you want to accept the explanation about the error which, after all, is clearly self-evident? I do not contradict Myself, yet anyone can clearly recognise an obvious contradiction if he seriously thinks about My nature ....

But the offer of the pure truth also resolves other questions which necessarily had to follow an erroneous thought, such as these: Why did I make such an effort to lead the spirits, whose 'fall into sin' was (supposedly) caused by 'Me Myself', out of this wretched condition again? ..... And why would I want to lead you into perfection if I Am not perfect Myself, which is indicated by the fact that you look upon Me as being afflicted with human weaknesses .... a statement which never came forth from Me and must therefore be regarded as satanic influence. I cannot often enough oppose this misguided teaching .... that all opposites are inherent in Me .... but you have accepted it as a matter of fact precisely because, as human beings, you cannot conceive anything of perfection. The whole act of creation would have proceeded without love and wisdom, and yet, love and wisdom were the decisive factors .... However, it cannot be reconciled with My love and wisdom that I created My living creations with evil instincts, because in that case one cannot speak of a 'sin against Me', but this has occurred and consisted of the 'rejection of My strength of love' .... This sin is the reason why the being has to take the appalling process through the creations, and this sin will only be removed when the human being once again voluntarily desires My illumination. This sin of resisting My strength of love also resulted in spiritual darkness, during which the being was receptive for the evil characteristics My adversary had brought into being. Hence it reversed its nature into the opposite and must dispel all these evil characteristics during its earthly progress, and I will help it do so in every possible way. Yet the redemption of the immense sin of rejecting My strength of love necessitated Jesus Christ's act of Salvation .... It cannot be removed by the being itself because it took place in a state of brightest realisation, in a state of perfection, which should have stopped the being, but the sin had already been the adversary's influence who was the first to reject My love and, in this state, brought forth all evil and transferred it onto those beings which voluntarily surrendered to him and thus plunged into the abyss with him .... Of what use is it to you if I constantly speak of My infinite love for you, had it caused your fall in the past in the first place? This boundless love can only be possessed by a profoundly perfect Being, and this Being also endeavours to bestow upon you your former perfection again, which you had willingly given up. Consequently, I will repeatedly counteract misguided teachings in order to return your faith in My perfection so that I will gain all of your love as well, which shall restore the original state again in which you once emerged from Me ....

Amen

Do the Gospels correspond to truth? ....

B.D. 8963 from April 15th 1965, taken from Book No. 94

The question occupying you is understandable if you wish to know the truth. The fact that changes had occurred everywhere cannot be denied, because I do not exert force on a person's free will even if he himself implements changes, partly as a result of wrong translations, but partly also caused by the use of language which differs everywhere and also promotes various interpretations. Even the transcripts of the original text diverge from each other were you to compare them, but they do not distort My teaching, they describe My Words as I had spoken them, because these Words of Mine are and will remain everlasting. But now you desire to know who has been instructed by Me to record My divine teaching of love, as well as My way of life, and I can only reply to this that John .... My favourite disciple .... had the direct order from Me and thus also complied with this task. However, My disciple Matthew, having been likewise capable of writing, also left scripts behind in which he mentioned more factual events, hence he was an equally faithful servant, yet minor discrepancies occurred in his transcripts which, however, cannot be explained such that every scribe saw the same events differently, instead, it concerns multiple events, for I have often done the same. Even so, this Gospel is still hidden from you and was replaced by a disciple of the same name who was impelled by the spirit of God, just like the evangelists Luke and Mark, who only during later years wrote down what they had heard about Me and My act of Salvation. You can rest assured that they were influenced by My spirit, otherwise they would never have attempted to tackled such work .... And it will indeed be possible for every spiritually awakened person to recognise these minor discrepancies, which had slipped in later, but he will always be able to keep to My direct Words, since I protect 'My Word' from being changed. Admittedly, you can also interpret these Words of Mine wrongly, which indeed you have done, thereby giving the spoken Word a different meaning, but a spiritually awakened person will always recognise them as being wrong.

So if you know that you are allowed to unhesitatingly accept all Gospels as being conveyed by My spirit, as long as you merely assign different periods of time to the process of the transfer, then the Gospel of John was the first one given by Me, because John more or less witnessed everything and was therefore able to describe it in greatest detail. However, the other Gospels can also be unreservedly believed. For they do not contradict each other, merely in the course of time minor changes have occurred which, however, are insignificant and recognisable. If the translators keep firmly to the original text, if they don't change the words according to their linguistic usage, it can also be assumed that the Gospels will remain pure, but the latter should be avoided because it can completely change the meaning. And even the 'expositions' require an awakened spirit .... worldly studies, even if they are of a spiritual nature, are to no avail .... And time and again such 'expositions' arise which deviate from correct thinking, and so many a passage exists which is purely interpreted in a human way, whereas it should only be understood spiritually .... and this always ever concerns passages where clarifications were given .... On account of people's free will I cannot prevent this, nevertheless, wherever possible I protect the Word I have spoken during My life time on earth, so that those of you who want to know the truth may find the right explanation .... For such questions will only be asked by a seriously-minded person who is not satisfied with scriptures of unknown origin and whose questions only prove that he loves the pure truth and therefore also Me Myself, Who is the eternal Truth ....

Amen

Good Friday ....

B.D. 8964 from April 16th 1965, taken from Book No. 94

The sin I had taken upon My shoulders was an inconceivably heavy burden and could only be redeemed through an equally immense sacrifice of atonement, as the path to the cross and the extremely painful suffering and dying on the cross was for Me. For this had been excruciatingly painful .... You humans are incapable of even remotely imagining that measure of suffering, for I felt abandoned by the strength of God, I .... Who had always been united with the Father .... had to walk the path alone, which seemed to last forever but which I nevertheless took upon Myself in infinite love because I pitied the human race and knew that only this sacrifice of Mine could bring salvation to humanity .... Time and again I had to experience the brutalities of the executioner's servants, and the whole world of hell participated.

Yet I was not allowed to defend Myself by using My indwelling divine strength, for this act of Salvation had to be an act of free will, on account of which I covered this path of suffering as a 'mere human being', always praying that I would be able to complete it, that I would not fail before the end, that I was also permitted to endure the death of the cross, which concluded the act of Salvation in the first place. You will only be able to assess the whole extent of torments and humiliations I had to endure when you enter the kingdom of the beyond, where you will be able to behold My crucifixion. Yet during your human existence you lack all concept of My torments, since a lesser measure would have killed you already, however, My will to redeem you was so strong that it gave Me the strength to taste all suffering to the extreme .... that I also endured the death on the cross consciously and still was able to pray for My tormentors 'Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do' ....

They did not know that by nailing Me to the cross they nailed the Father Himself to the cross, Who wanted to redeem all people from every sin .... I knew that He had merely withdrawn Himself from Me so as not to exert force on Me as a human being, for only the human being Jesus was able to suffer and this suffering reconciled the Father. For this reason I spoke the Word 'It is finished ....' in order to state that an eternally predetermined act had been accomplished.

However, its results encompassed the past, present and future .... And thus all beings which once had fallen away from God are redeemed .... One day in the beyond you will always be able to witness the crucifixion of Jesus, the human being, but no person will ever be able to assess the appalling torments as long as he still lives on earth .... for he will lack the understanding. His immense suffering, the immense suffering of the man Jesus, not only involved the physical pain inflicted on Him, instead, the suffering of His pure soul, having descended to earth from the kingdom of light for the sake of this act of Salvation, was far greater .... Only a soul which already dwells in the kingdom of light is able to comprehend what it means for a pure soul to be in the slough of sin .... what it means for a perfect soul to stay in the midst of imperfect creatures .... but then it is also able to understand the depth of love which motivated Jesus to provide help for His sinful brothers, and then they will tremble with awe and give thanks and sing their praises to the One Who has redeemed the world from all sin ....

Amen

Easter Sunday ....

B.D. 8965 from April 18th 1965, taken from Book No. 94

The man Jesus has offered a work of deepest love and mercy for you because He wanted to redeem the exceedingly great sin guilt, which otherwise would have kept the kingdom of light closed to you for ever, but you must also accept this work of redemption in full awareness that you had loaded a great guilt on yourselves and you now want to become free of it. Because what the man Jesus suffered for you, until He ended His work of mercy with death on the cross, is not to be described, because they were greatest agonies, which His infinite love took upon itself, because He wanted to help His unhappy brothers in their spiritual trouble. But you will never find understanding for these agonies, because they were immeasurable, but the love in Him gave Him power to bear them, because He could only expiate the guilt with such a sacrifice, because His soul and His body had to suffer in a measure, which would have been unbearable for every other man. That is why also the suffering of a man can never be quoted for comparison, because only the body of man will always be affected by the suffering, but for Jesus the suffering, which His soul has endured, was far worse, and it is also not to be described approximately, because He suffered as it were for the former sin of the rejection of the love power; He had to take upon Himself the agonies of a powerless soul, because this was the former sin, which had an effect in form of immense weakness, under which the soul suffered indescribably .... But His love was so great that He took everything upon Himself to make atonement to God for all who accept the work of redemption, who make use of the favours acquired on the cross and want to return home to the father from Whom they once voluntarily separated. The whole earthly way of life of the man Jesus was a (torment) for Him, because He saw in moments of bright seeing how He had to end it .... He foresaw all suffering and horrors and yet could not shake them off, for He was of the will to walk this path because He also recognized the final aim: the redemption of the fallen brothers from an immeasurable guilt, and the magnitude of this guilt also gave Him the willpower to walk the path until the end .... But the last day of His earthly life was so bitter that He almost lost strength and therefore prayed: "Father, let this cup pass from Me, yet not My will but Yours be done!" .... And again and again the love for the unfortunate brothers was stronger, and by virtue of this love, which filled Him, He surrendered to His fate, which He certainly could have also turned away from Himself and therefore He only prayed more and more intimately that He might not fail. Yet the suffering He had to endure even before the crucifixion was immeasurable, the suffering He was only able to endure because love was so powerful in Him and He only used this love to persevere until the end. For He had to suffer as a 'human being', even though love itself was in Him, but it held back with its power until He pronounced the words: "It is finished ...." And again and again His crucifixion has to be brought before people's eyes in order to let them recognize the great love of the man Jesus, for only a work of love could redeem the past guilt of sin, because it consisted of the beings transgressing against love .... For this reason a soul of light descended to earth, because only such a soul could

muster the degree of love and because God Himself could manifest Himself in this soul of love, Who was in it in all fullness, and therefore love Itself made this sacrifice .... But it was the work of a man, Who was able to suffer, because God could not suffer. For this reason His sacrifice on the cross was of unusual significance, and it must also be acknowledged in free will, for the man Jesus certainly offered the sacrifice for all people of the past, the present and the future, yet only the human being himself determines whether it signifies redemption for him from the former great guilt .... And so his attitude towards Jesus Christ is the most important thing, because his happiness depends on it, how he stands by Him and His work of redemption. And you humans cannot be urged enough not to reject Him but to profess Him and His act of salvation if you want to be released from your original sin and be able to enter the kingdom of light after the death of your body ....

Amen

Resurrection of Jesus ....

B.D. 8966 from April 19th 1965, taken from Book No. 94

My resurrection is certainly doubted by people who do not believe in Jesus and His mission on earth, and they can also no longer be given any evidence that it really happened as My disciples reported. People who had experienced so many miracles from Me had become wavering in their faith in Me and My might .... there was no-one who still fully trusted in Me, everyone saw that I did nothing against the mob which wanted to take Me captive, and their hearts were overcome by fear that people would carry it out, that I did not defend Myself and let everything happen to Me .... that I no longer used My power until the end to restrain the henchmen from their plan. And that is why also no-one believed in My resurrection on the third day, and when men now learned about it, the thought was more understandable to them that one had fetched Me out of the grave to now let the legend come into being that I had risen from the dead. And even with My disciples I met with unbelief, because they did not know about the great importance of the work of redemption, and therefore they also did not know that everything had to come so as it happened. For those who did not believe in Me, that I descended from above as the son of God, I could not appear to them either, after all, this would have been a compulsion of faith which I could never apply. For everyone who experienced My death on the cross had to voluntarily confess Me and the act of salvation, otherwise he could not be granted forgiveness of original sin. But it was enough with My disciples that I showed them My stigmata, and they recognized Me and remembered My words: "I will rebuild the temple in three days ...." But now this problem has become even more controversial, because no man had witnessed this My work of redemption, all must believe it, what is reported to them, and an even stronger belief is demanded of men of the present time, that I have risen from the dead .... that My body had spiritualized itself and only became visible to mine because they were to be strengthened in their intention to carry out My teaching of love and to make very special mention of My work of redemption. And all who were introduced through My spirit into deeper knowledge will also believe in this spiritualization of the body .... For these will also muster the understanding for the work of redemption which I accomplished in the man Jesus .... For they have been introduced to this knowledge through the spirit itself, and no-one can rob them of their faith, both in the work of redemption as well as in My resurrection. They will also know how to meet every objection that such is impossible, because they know it that the final aim of men on earth is to likewise spiritualize themselves, and the same can also happen with their body, for which the man Jesus has supplied you with proof. But who only thinks purely earthly, for him also proofs would not be enough, but which are no longer to be provided. And more and more the faith in Jesus Christ and His work of mercy will dwindle in men because the adversary, who always only sees his enemy in Jesus, Who wants to wrest the souls from him and this He will succeed in. But I will also again and again see to it that the right knowledge about the sacrifice on the cross and its reason is supplied to you men; I will always awaken men who stand up for Jesus Christ in deepest conviction, who always only listen to what the spirit imparts to them out of Me, and who therefore also have a firm faith in My resurrection, which can be shaken through nothing. And again and again I will convey knowledge through My spirit to those who are willing to believe, because I can give them nothing else but truth ....

Amen

Knowledge of the process of the working of the mind ....

B.D. 8967 from April 21st 1965, taken from Book No. 94

What you need to know for your earth life, that is truly offered to you by Me, if you open your hearts to Me and want to be active for Me and My kingdom. Therefore the thought need not depress you that you are not introduced into areas, which are trivial for the last work on earth on the souls, since it is much more important at present that they first of all reach a living faith, that they know about the reason and meaning of the work of redemption, that they experience about the power of love, about its effect .... because their lot in eternity depends on it .... And that is why I now impart this knowledge to men, although I also reveal secrets of creation, but these only make up a small extent of My revelations, exactly because they are not so important now. But I particularly emphasize the act of creation of all beings once emanated by Me, because errors have crept in there which are extremely important and have to be corrected .... But the task, which I set to My vineyard workers, is the spreading of all that, what still can bring salvation to men exactly in the times of the end. They are to know that one has sacrificed Himself for them, and therefore they must know about their original sin and that this cannot be redeemed by them alone. Therefore they have to turn to the one Who brought them salvation, but Who also has to be acknowledged so that the work of rescue can also take place in him. And you can also give them informative explanations about all these connections, who you receive My word. You can prepare them for the end, which I announce through you as obvious; but you can also tell them that they can only shape the end to a successful one for themselves through love work, that they do not need to fear it when they fulfil these My commandments and change their selfish love to unselfish neighbourly love. But you can also pass on to them the knowledge about the survival of the soul, which indeed only few will accept, but which every one of My servants can represent with conviction, because the knowledge about it has reached him from Me. And so you can therefore point to the work of My spirit. And that will be the most difficult thing for you because hardly any man of those believes in it who have not yet awakened the spirit themselves and exactly the work of the spirit is unbelievable to them. But even men who read the scriptures have no understanding for it, otherwise it would truly be easy to guide men into truth, because would the process of the working of My spirit be understandable to them, then they would accept without further ado what you bring to them and move in true thinking. And every person has to find faith in this himself, which only love can achieve again. That is why the most urgent thing is to stimulate men to a love life, to make clear to them the effect of it and also the consequences of a life without love, which will certainly earn them death. Even the leaders have no understanding for what My words mean, which I Myself spoke when I walked on earth; they walk along blindly and 'preach', they bring salvation to people or believe to bring it to them and yet pass by the most delectable, My word spoken directly from above, which would give them enlightenment in all unresolved issues. But they feel called and are still blind guides, who can give no light to anyone. That is why also the number of those will be very small, whom you still can win for Me and My word, to whom you can impart pure truth and who therefore also do not need to fear the end. But men also do not believe in this and still put this into the farthest distance, and they will be surprised and not have prepared themselves, but they do not pay attention to My announcements, and therefore they will have to expect an end with horror; they will again be banished in the creations of the new earth, if I do not have mercy on them first and call them away from this earth prematurely, then the possibility is still given to them to still find to the light and to Jesus Christ, who has redeemed men from sin and death ....

Explaining why people's thinking is so different ....

B.D. 8968 from April 25th 1965, taken from Book No. 94

That you men often still move in erroneous thoughts will also again and again cause Me to direct your thoughts right, provided that you carry desire for pure truth. My adversary knew how to plant his thought material in you, and he was not prevented from it because it was indifferent to you yourselves whether truth or error was presented to you. But the consequences of error are exceedingly severe and earn you darkening of spirit, while truth brightly illuminates your way, which you are to go to perfect yourselves. There are often questions, which concern the survival of the soul, which the opponent answers wrongly for you, because he only has the one will to prevent you that you live out life purposefully. That is why he will always make a survival after death out to be unbelievable and encourage men to strive for the world with its goods. Because man then always focuses on worldly well-being and therefore contributes to greatest spiritual darkness, because he always only seeks to put himself into the possession of earthly goods, but does nothing for his soul. And his lot will be bad in eternity because he goes over with the desire for such goods and will find little help there because it is not accepted when it is offered to him. But the human being would have to tell himself, with only a little thought, that he not only has an earthly task for earthly life but that there is more at stake .... that the human being has to fulfil a spiritual purpose, and he would have to seek to fathom this spiritual purpose .... Yet he is content with what My adversary whispers to him, who wants to prevent the unification between Me and My living creation. For people never strive for something where the aim is uncertain and unbelievable to them .... On the other hand they are always willing to accept his thought material and therefore to advance the world with all its goods, and then he has already won it for himself .... This fight for the will of man can therefore only be waged through thought transmission out of the dark world, since otherwise every power is taken from the opponent, but man .... if he only lets his intellect rule, does not defend himself against it .... what he well could, would he be aware of it, how he can direct his intellect, but does not have to .... For he can submit it to My will at any time, then he will be protected from thinking wrongly, and his thinking will be right. Therefore submit yourselves at any time to My will, that I Myself can now protect you and am also prepared for it, because I do nothing rather than light a bright light for a man, which brightly illuminates his way. But I cannot do it against his will, because only this will must surrender to Me without hesitation, otherwise no light can shine for him. And the more intimately the will surrenders to Me the clearer thoughts it will have, which then always correspond to truth, and no error can happen to it. And therefore the whole explanation is given to you why the thinking of men is so different, why many men feel well in error and why so few men have true thoughts, because alone the will determines this, which can turn towards Me or My opponent, but which will always result in positive or negative thoughts .... And if you therefore want to know whether your thoughts are now directed right or wrong, then you must seriously criticise yourselves, to whom you turn your thoughts .... But in order to be able to turn your thoughts towards Me you absolutely have to believe in a God Who called you into life and therefore entrust yourselves to this God .... Where this faith is missing, there the opponent already has predominance, and that is why towards the end, which you are approaching, the work of the opponent will appear very strongly, and faith will no longer be found in a higher being, out of which all being, all creations and also you yourselves have emerged. And error will take on the sharpest form until the opponent's power is now taken away again and he is banished for a long time .... with all those who have given themselves into his power because they stayed in darkness and did not free themselves from it ....

Amen

Is the will first or grace ....

B.D. 8969 from April 26th 1965, taken from Book No. 94

Let yourselves be satisfied with My favour, because I give it to you abundantly, because you can only become happy through favour. And I want that you are always aware of it, which gift of favour earth life is for you, but which only brings you on the right way when you also evaluate it as such, because likewise you can let it pass you by unused, and you stand there where you stood at the beginning of your embodiment; it has been an idle run for you. And highest and most valuable of My gifts of favour is My word, which you are able to hear at any time when you desire to hear it. But deep in the heart you must desire it, then your spiritual ear is opened, and you hear Me, and you will be happy, because you then enter the original state; your way is no longer far to perfection, where My word sounded to you and you were immeasurably happy. That is why you must always let your will become active, so that you also accept the favours, which are offered to you .... Therefore the will is the first, and whether the favours also go to you unmeasured .... if the will is not prepared to accept and evaluate them, then you draw no benefit from it, and your state does not change; you remain imperfect, as you were at the beginning of your embodiment. Therefore it is wrong to say that I hand out the favours according to My discretion, because the same measure of favours is at your disposal, otherwise I Myself would determine the perfection of My creatures .... This thought is so wrong that I Myself have 'chosen you to become blessed or to be damned' .... when this is determined solely by your free will. Enough information has already been given to you about the freedom of will, so that you can refute every such objection. And yet it is held by those who, on the basis of misunderstood scriptural passages, make such assertions as, "It is God Who works in you the willing and the doing .... according to His good pleasure." This scripture, too, is completely misinterpreted if you thereby believe that I accomplish everything according to My will .... I work well in you because you could do nothing without receiving the power from Me. It was also I Who endowed you with free will, but you must bring this will to fruition yourselves, and I therefore provide you with a measure of grace, which also earns you perfection with certainty if you use it, but for which the will must always first be ready. And that is why you carry a great responsibility, and both the light beings as well as the powers of darkness fight for your will, the one to turn the will towards Me and to make it completely inclined towards good, while the endeavour of the dark powers is to give your will a wrong direction, therefore away from Me, and so prevent you to strive for perfection. But nevertheless you will be able to receive an abundance of grace at any time, because this can cause your will that you use it right, and it always only depends on whether you recognize Me as the source of grace .... then your will will also be ready .... And if therefore My word is offered to you, which is conducted to earth in an unusual way, then every man could recognize it as an unusual favour, because also the intellect only needed to ask itself how it comes about, and it would have to make man think .... But if he still rejects it, then his will is directed against it, and this will is decisive .... Then he does not pass the test of will, and accordingly is also his lot in eternity, if he does not still change there and slowly comes to knowledge ....

Amen

Achievement of the childship to God of light beings? ....

B.D. 8970 from April 28th 1965, taken from Book No. 94

If you are moved by such questions, which trouble you, then come to Me, and I will answer them for you. For you as bearers of light should be informed about which beings can start the return to earth for the purpose of a mission, they are always beings of light, i.e. those who have covered the path on earth but did not reach the adoption as children of God, who nevertheless have increased the measure of light more and more and who now offer themselves for a mission for the purpose of achieving the adoption as children of God .... and non-fallen original spirits, which likewise strive for the adoption as children of God as last aim and therefore walk the course over earth. The latter also reach their aim with certainty because love is so strong in them, and they are also protected from apostasy, although the opponent will try everything to also bring these, who once did not follow him, to apostasy from Me. But their resistance is too great, and the bond with Me upholds each one of these original spirits .... But not always do those reach their aim .... the adoption as children of God .... who therefore have already had earthly life behind them .... once. But there are only a few of them who do not fulfil their mission in this way, because they are also again in possession of free will, which also allows a decline .... So then it is possible that such a being is temporarily confused in thinking and that it now leaves earth again in this state and then also directs its confused thoughts from the hereafter to those with whom it counts on understanding. But this state does not last long until it can again be enlightened by light and now also recognizes that it has failed, and again desires anew to descend to earth. The being can no longer fall back to the deep, only it can use its free will wrongly, what therefore will be the case when it as member of another religion should bring to men the knowledge about Jesus Christ as the divine redeemer, when an unusual power was (is) at its disposal and it therefore thinks to be on the same level as Jesus Christ through the fullness of this power and this therefore also means the failure of its mission. But his striving for highest perfection will be credited to him, but the now following instructions from the hereafter will be erroneous until it again reaches the light, which also brings back full knowledge to him .... The struggle of those men (beings) to reach their perfection still on earth can also only be successful because they are no longer burdened with original sin and exactly for that reason however would also have the possibility to represent the divine redeemer and to also present him to those of different faith as the only salvation, so that they then would also have fulfilled their mission completely .... But exactly for that reason I will also send such spirits of light there to earth, who as not fallen original spirits, despite free will, proclaim Me Myself as redeemer of the world, and the few who accept faith in it will also become free from their original sin, and whether they stand equally far below those 'wise men', but who, despite their high wisdom and striving for perfection, fail to recognize one thing, that they may not see in Jesus one of their own but that He is everything in everything, that He was only the shell for the highest being in which this highest being wanted to be visible to you, and that they all ....... in spite of their wisdom, do not recognize this and therefore do not stand up for it. A being which descends to earth as a non-fallen spirit will certainly also attain the childship to God, yet a being of light which has already passed over earth once can no longer fall but nevertheless not reach the final aim either if it does not fulfil the mission it was given. But exactly this task is difficult, to carry the teaching of redemption through Jesus Christ there, where men are bound to a school of faith, which pursues completely different aims, which want to reach perfection systematically and do not seek the prerequisite for it in the divine sun of favour, but whose striving is to bring themselves to perfection, through utmost self-conquest and mortification, but what can be reached quite simply through intimate union with God and recognition of Jesus Christ as redeemer of the world .... Because then he is free of his original sin, and he can no longer sink back to the deep. But those beings of light put their own gained wisdom before 'the working of the spirit', and this is the only way to explain that they therefore fail and cannot stand in full truth until they let themselves be taught by their spirit, which is always the result of an intimate bond with Me, but which those 'masters' believe to be able to replace through their own striving ....

Messages from the heights .... I.

B.D. 8971 from May 2nd 1965, taken from Book No. 94

You can always know yourselves supported by Me when love drives you to be active for Me, because love is a power, which does not remain without effect. Then I will always be able to have an effect Myself, because I am love Myself and therefore every work of love is also carried out by Me Myself. Therefore take care of every single one of them that they also find the way to Me. And even if you don't reach it straight away .... what they have received, that will no longer let go of them, and they will think of it, because even if they reject My word, it is nevertheless not spoken in vain, and it will again and again stimulate them to think about it ..... Only love must not be missing, because this also guarantees My presence. And that is why I can only need such announcers who are willing to love and recognize their fellow human beings as being in need of help and want to bring them salvation, because pure truth will only rarely be possessed by a person, and yet they believe that they are in the right thinking .... But the few whom I Myself can instruct and supply them with the truth will not find the right faith even as 'mere men'. People mostly hold on to the knowledge which has come to them from an uninformed side, but they cannot produce any proof that they are in the right way of thinking. But they cannot provide proof that it corresponds to truth. And so the question is always asked in the world: "What is truth?" And to this only one answer can come to you: What is of God Himself, Who is the eternal truth .... Yet they do not want to believe that I Myself impart this truth to people, for they have no knowledge of this process, and human words (human knowledge) therefore mean more to them as soon as they have gained it through diligent study. But that the intellect can err and also has erred, that they do not consider, and so mankind is in spiritual blindness, which only I Myself can remove, by Me bringing pure truth to men, by Me supplying them with knowledge, which far surpasses their intellectual thinking. But this knowledge they must also accept, and then men move in truth .... then their thoughts are right directed. To possess pure truth is a sign of near perfection, and that is why only few will profess it at the time of the end, because only few already have the degree of maturity, which is necessary for it, but which can be reached at any time through the earnest will for truth and the subordination of the will under Mine. Therefore men are also allowed to come to Me in full trust and ask Me for supply of truth, which I then will also supply to them, only they are not allowed to seek truth there, where it is allegedly offered, because the start of truth is to be sought and found only with Me, and I do not make it dependent on the intellectual sharpness of man, but only alone on the degree of love, because this starts from the heart and makes alone the heart able to receive truth. If you therefore believe that you use your intellect correctly, then first think about the fact that I can never assess a person according to his intellectual acuity, but that he must show Me the love which I demand in order to be able to receive the truth from Me. Think about it, that I "want to reject the understanding of the intelligent and bring the wisdom of the wise to nothing, in order to make those happy, who believe in Me in all simplicity ...." Consider also all these words, which should announce to you of the work of My spirit in man, then you will also learn to understand the process, and there will no longer be great spiritual darkness in you. Just this process has remained incomprehensible to you men through the influence of My opponent, and still it would be explanation for everything to you, and you would also accept My revelations from above unhesitatingly. But because you men mostly lack love, which would enlighten you out of the inside, you doubt, or you reject everything and can therefore never come closer to truth. Because the opponent has you in his power, and he will also never let go of you, as long as you yourselves do not defend yourselves, by you desiring Me and intimately unite with Me. That alone can bring you salvation in your trouble, in which you are, because you stand shortly before the end ....

Messages from the heights .... II.

B.D. 8972 from May 7th 1965, taken from Book No. 94

A vast area has been opened up to you .... an area which you would not be able to penetrate without the working of the spirit within you, for I Myself instruct you and give you knowledge which far surpasses your intellectual thinking. But this is the result of most intimate union with Me, from Whom truth takes its origin .... I want to answer all your questions as soon as you enter into this intimate union with Me, because then you open yourselves again to My illumination of love, and you can hear My word as in the beginning .... But then you have also given Me the proof that you want to belong to Me yourselves; you have passed the test of will, which is purpose and aim of your earth life. And now you will also want to pass on this knowledge supplied to you of your own accord, because it drives you to spread the truth. And again those will listen to you who also want to be connected with Me, and therefore knowledge draws wide circles, but which cannot be offered to you on the part of men, who believe to be able to penetrate intellectually into an area, which only I Myself can open up to you truthfully. What wealth you could gain when you accept My word when you make the knowledge your own and would again acquire the knowledge for yourselves, which you once possessed and had voluntarily given away. Then you would also want to return the love to Me, with which I pursue you incessantly, because I do not want to lose you. And then your existence on earth would be concluded, and you could enter the kingdom of light and happiness as My children, with whom I could create and work always and forever. But you do not believe that such messages from above can come from God Himself, because you still think of this God as being so far away from you that you cannot recognize the father in Him, who addresses His children in all love .... And you are also still far from Him and cannot hear His voice because you are still inferior to him who wants to keep you in thick darkness to not lose you. And still these messages should also touch you unusually that you should not let them pass you by unchecked, and you will also recognize a gleam of light when you are of good will .... For My word has this power to have an effect where My adversary is not yet entirely his master; then you will feel touched and addressed by Me, then your state will no longer be entirely hopeless. When you yourselves are introduced into My kingdom, about which I alone can give you enlightenment, then you can see from it that it is quite impossible to be able to fathom such an area only with the intellect, and a binding from above to the earthly world would have to be quite obvious to you. And then you will also no longer doubt the truth of the spiritual material offered to you because only one can instruct you about it who controls this area. And when you further know about My endless love, which does everything to win you back again, then you will also understand it that I cannot tolerate to see you going along in error, and therefore work just as obviously against error, in which the enemy of all life entangles you, and that My effort is always to oppose truth to error, so that you find out of darkness to light and that these messages .... received through the spirit .... are the very light which shall brightly illuminate your path, which every person should seriously desire in order to fulfil his purpose of earthly life .... You should not pass it by, for it is the greatest gift of grace which can be bestowed upon you .... You hear Me Myself, and what comes from Me will certainly also bring you to perfection ....

Amen

Faith and love lead to unification with God ....

B.D. 8973 from May 9th 1965, taken from Book No. 94

If you bear My infinite love in mind, which took the most bitter suffering and dying for your sins upon itself in order to open the gate into the kingdom of light for you again, then this act of atonement alone should already induce you to respond to My love with as much depth you are capable of feeling .... Yet precisely this is what you are lacking, you are no longer able to muster such love because My adversary still keeps you in chains and will do whatever he can to prevent your kind-hearted actions. It is not as if you were entirely incapable, because you shelter a tiny spark of My love in you which you need only nurture to grow into a bright flame. Yet this requires your will again, which is free and therefore not compelled by Me nor My adversary. And this free will can do anything .... It is able to establish the most heartfelt bond with Me but it can also completely submit to My adversary .... However, even the slightest will for Me is already enough for Me to grant you strength and constantly prove My infinite love to you .... If you therefore call upon Me Myself in Jesus for help against him, your resolve will be strengthened and you will have escaped My adversary, you will strive towards the light, live your life purposefully and indeed reach the final goal, unity with Me.

But what should you do first so as not to live your life in vain?

First, you must believe in a Power Which created you .... If you acknowledge this Power it will be easy for you to establish mental contact with Me, for your belief in Me is already evidence that you want to detach yourselves from your present lord, for he will try to shake any belief you have .... But since you turn to Me of your own accord I will help you take the right path which leads to Me. First of all, I will inform you of the divine Redeemer Jesus Christ, in Whom I became a human being, and explain the significance He has for you .... And as soon as you know that you can always turn to Him, that He and I are as One, you will always hand your guilt, which was the cause of your human existence on earth, over to Him .... From then on you will be able to feel the great love I expect of you, which is needed to enter into union with Me.

Thus you can all attain faith in a Being Which is exceedingly powerful, wise and loving .... And when you recognise that this Being is exceedingly perfect you will also be able to love It .... In that case you will also know that you should strive towards this Being, that you are still distant from It as a result of your past sin of apostasy, that He wants to win you back again and seeks to attract your love which alone can revoke the original sin when it has been handed over to Jesus Christ, Who has redeemed the guilt of sin on the cross ....

Only love can lead you back to Me again, only love is needed to enable you to enter the kingdom of light again, only love returns to you all abilities which you once possessed in abundance and relinquished! Love alone is the bond between Me and you, for it is your fundamental element, just as I Myself Am love .... Consequently, if you believe in Me, then the spark in you, which brings this faith into being, has already come alive and it will flare up ever more frequently and finally lead to unity .... Therefore, believe that I exist, that I have created you as well as everything you see around you, and you won't be able to help yourselves but to make mental contact with Me and thereby receive strength, you will become knowledgeable. That is, the right thoughts will flow into you so that you will know the truth, for the result of transferring My strength of love is that you may also have an insight into previously closed spheres .... However, it always depends on your degree of love ....

Therefore, let love become active in you, for love is everything; it gives you clarity of thought as well as the strength to implement what benefits your soul. It will take you to Jesus Christ, and once you have recognised Me in Jesus Christ you will assuredly also take the path towards perfection, you will return into your Father's house from which you once voluntarily distanced yourselves ....

Amen

Faith and love leads to union with God .... (the knowledge of the process of the outpouring of the spirit .... )

B.D. 8974 from May 12th 1965, taken from Book No. 94

That you are guided by Me, you should obviously recognize when you see the many threads, which I tie on, as not starting from yourselves, because I know the hearts, which you still are to address and truly leave none out. But I need you as mediators, because I Myself can address men in the rarest cases, especially then, when the process of the work of My spirit is still unknown to them, that they do not take the way to Me, to now also be able to be addressed by Me directly. If people knew about this process then it would be easier to convey the truth to them, but precisely because of this My adversary has extinguished all light, he has spread darkness about the 'outpouring of My spirit' which is increasingly more difficult to break through the closer it gets to the end. And yet, I can still work on individuals who ignited love in themselves and thus awakened their spirit of their own accord and to whom I can therefore impart the truth via you. And I will still let you find the connection with such who earnestly desire truth, and you always just need to serve Me in loyalty and conscientiousness, and every connection will again have an effect, because who once possesses truth, he will also testify to it, because that is the power of My word, that it urges to untiring work for Me and My kingdom, and I want to bless every servant's work, he still does it for Me. I alone know to whom you are still to bring truth; I alone know the hearts, which are open for it, and truly, I will withhold truth from no-one, who earnestly desires it. And you, who receive My word directly, you are to only let yourselves be guided by your feeling, which stimulates you inwardly, to offer exactly that to your fellowmen, what is valuable for them, about which they ask themselves questions, which I answer for them through you. You should only ever ask Me to guide your thoughts correctly and then, believing in My support, comply with your inner urge, for this is My voice which you therefore must not ignore .... My blessing will always rest on your work for Me and My kingdom, because nothing equals it in importance. It is a matter of carrying pure truth out into the world, which I alone can turn to you and which nevertheless should be examined by all men for its outcome .... but which only reaches the ear of few, who desire nothing else than to stand in pure truth, and which I therefore lead you into the way and let them find access to you, so that I Myself can speak to them and also know that I am heard ....

Amen

The act of creation was an act of gratification for God ....

B.D. 8975 from May 16th 1965, taken from Book No. 94

The cause for My rule and work in the whole of infinity was given by My incessant will to form, My unchangeably strong power as well as My exceedingly great love, which had to be active, but which only then found a kind of fulfilment when it created beings for itself, which were able to receive this love and give it back. Because My love needed a vessel, which opened itself to it and received My love and then again radiated it back to Me, whereby an unimaginable act of happiness took place, which will never be comprehensible to any of the created beings. After endless long time of being alone the desire for a mutual exchange became stronger and stronger, although I could already enjoy the spiritual creations put forth by Me in excess before, because I saw every thought as an accomplished work by virtue of My will and these of My thoughts have been innumerable, so that I could create incessantly and still felt no decrease of the power of creation, on the contrary, this constantly increased the more I used it .... But when then the thought moved Me to create a vessel for Me for the love power, which therefore should be formed like Me, which I wanted to endow with all qualities, which therefore should be put out as My image with the same creator power and strength, then already the thought of it was enough that this work of My will stood before Me in all glory, so that I recognized Myself in it and enjoyed what I had created .... The communion with this being made Me abundantly happy, it was after all an image of Me, but who could not be visible to this being, because it would have passed away in view of the original fire, which was certainly also the original substance of that spirit, which however .... as created .... could not have endured the abundance of My love, might and strength. For that being was always only an emanated spark which, although immeasurably blissful, was always only a creature of Mine. was only ever a creature of Mine which was unable to behold the eternal light. Nevertheless, this creature was the vessel for Me into which I could let My strength of love flow, which used this strength of love again in order to likewise be creatively active .... and since its desire was the same .... it again let the same beings come into being together with Me and the bliss was immeasurably great which the act of creation meant for us .... Always new beings came forth out of our two wills of love, for space was unlimited, there was no limit, neither of the creative power nor of love, nor of our will, which was equally directed .... for I revealed My will to him as well as to the beings which had emerged from both of us through the word, which gave them the evidence that they all recognized (had) their origin in Me; they could constantly hear Me and also return the answer to Me .... they could ask Me questions which I answered them through My word, and since I had also given them the ability to think at the same time, which they could apply in free will .... the sign of a divine being .... thus they were not compelled to interpret the word in only one particular direction but they were able to move My word within themselves in all directions, and thereby the possibility was given that they could also interpret it wrongly, according to their will .... But in the beginning all beings did not contradict My will, they were unlimitedly happy, they understood My word correctly, and this state would not have needed to come to an end if the first being emanated from Me had not been unable to come to terms with one thought: that it was unable to behold Me .... and it had given itself the explanation that I therefore lacked the power to do so .... Although it recognized itself as created by Me, it knew that it had a beginning, while I was from eternity .... But it began to doubt and did not present these doubts to Me so that I could have corrected them .... And it believed to be able to hide its thoughts from Me, because they were not always in it but only appeared in it from time to time, but it again and again gave itself to My love and also received it undivided .... But since it once doubted My love flowing towards it undividedly and did not express itself, the doubt returned again and again, and thus it created the state of mistrust, which should not have been between the created being and Me for ever .... But in this first created original spirit the distrust became stronger and stronger, especially as he now regarded himself as creator of the innumerable beings, which could see him in all glory, but to whom I could not be visible. And since the ability to think was just as peculiar to him, he drew wrong conclusions in his mistrust .... yet he recognized Me as his origin, but he hoped to also be able to convince all other created beings that he was their creator, since they were unable to behold Me .... He therefore exalted himself above Me and now rejected My strength of love, believing himself to possess so much strength that he no longer needed My strength and this was his sin as well as the sin of all fallen beings who followed him ....

(5/16/1965) A second world was now created, as it were, a world in which everything was wrongly directed but which was now also ruled by My now adversary. But since everything created had its origin in Me, also this world was subject to My will and My power, and all positive powers fight against the negative ones, always with the aim to win back everything negative again .... For although I had endowed the first-created spirit with the same creative power and strength, it had nevertheless lost it through its apostasy from Me .... But to him himself I left his freedom, while I took all fallen into My care and therefore took it from him and formed it to creations of all kind. Because I took pity on its state, which was unhappy and would have had to remain unhappy for ever when My love did not find a way out to once again lead it back to Me. But the process of the return is of such endless duration that one can speak of eternities .... during which My adversary can always only temporarily assert his right to the spiritual belonging to him .... when it goes over earth in the stage as man .... But then he does everything to get the being back into his possession .... if it does not let itself be helped otherwise .... if it does not accept the redemption through Jesus Christ and becomes free from his power .... His power is mighty at this time, and it requires a strong will to break away from it, but also My grace is unmeasured and can always be held against his power .... so that it is well possible to surrender to Me voluntarily, and then his wretched state will be over .... But eternal times will still pass until the former apostasy from Me has finally been atoned for, and eternal times will still pass until he will also decide to return, who once emerged from Me as greatest spirit of light, until he returns to his father's house, because endless is the flock of fallen spirits, and these also still need endless times until they have freed themselves from the chains, which were put on them from his side, to be able to enter the kingdom of light and happiness as redeemed .... Yet My love is endless, My power knows no bounds, and My wisdom is unceasingly intent on achieving the aim I set Myself when I created the spirit world ....

Amen

Why must a non-fallen spirit also walk the earth ....

B.D. 8976 from May 18th 1965, taken from Book No. 94

What you desire information about, that I alone can tell you, because these thoughts have already often emerged in you, without you seriously desiring an answer. You do not know the laws, which rule in My kingdom and in which all My creatures move, but that one thing has been explained to you, that I put out beings out of Me in highest perfection, that these beings were gifted with free will, which was now also to decide and which also resulted in the falling away of innumerable beings from Me. But a great part of these beings had also passed the test of will that they remained with Me although all were equipped with free will and the ability to think and likewise could decide for him who was visible to them. Hence it is by no means the case that those who fell away from Me lacked realization but the same light of love shone through all beings, and in this light they also recognized Me as their creator, from Whom they had originated, but this very light of love they rejected and thereby made themselves sinful .... Now all My created beings were certainly 'works of My will' as therefore also those who remained loyal to Me, who, standing in highest fullness of light, can create and form with Me and are therefore blessed .... They have certainly passed the test of will but nevertheless remain 'works of My love', for whom the attainment of childship to God is also the highest aim, for I could not 'create' 'children' for Myself but only ever give a being the opportunity to shape itself into a child, which indeed every non-fallen being will also achieve but must also cover the course across earth in order to reach that highest degree that it is no longer considered My work but My child. For a 'work' admittedly also stands in the same will with Me and constantly creates and works out of this will .... But to be a 'child' of God is the epitome of highest beatitude, for it is completely independent of Me, it receives My direct illumination of love and its will is always equally directed with Mine, it is a completely free being, a right child which enters into all rights of the father, whereas a 'work' always remains a work despite having passed the test of will. But the path through the abyss has already been travelled by an infinitely large number of beings, and the number of My children is constantly increasing, since they can never fail, even if earthly life weighs exceedingly heavily upon them .... The love power, which they never lose, protects them from a fall, and since the earth life time is only like a moment, measured by eternity, also the most difficult conditions can be imposed on such a light spirit, and you can also accept such an embodiment with quite unusual states of suffering, which certainly leads to the aim of the adoption as children of God. The beings of light therefore have to cover the path across earth in order to fight against all resistance in their physical weakness, they once have to voluntarily face My adversary, but they will never succumb to him, they will only ever wrest their physical shell from him, so that this, as 'spiritualized', can already help a once fallen spirit to mature. And it is precisely this walk on earth which earns a myriad of beings of light the adoption as children of God, but it cannot be avoided if 'children' are to emerge from My works, which I Myself could not create because free will was the prerequisite for it. This free will had certainly been tested, but the beings all stood in brightest light of knowledge, and it therefore could not be equated with the walk across earth, on which the adversary asserts himself, in which the spirit of light is exposed to temptations upon temptations, which it must pass, to now be able to come forth as a right 'child of God', which was and is My aim since the beginning ....

Bliss .... light kingdom ....

B.D. 8977 from May 19th 1965, taken from Book No. 94

All of you are My creatures, emerged from My love, and this love does not decrease; it is and remains in the same strength and will always take care of you, also when you have separated yourselves from Me will-wise. Love is My original substance, and therefore everything created is radiated through by Me Myself and therefore can also not become less. But what does love want at all? Nothing else than to give itself away and to fill what again wants to receive love .... Everything has been called into life by love; love power is every work of creation, and therefore also everything is imperishable what has Me Myself as origin .... But what do you imagine as 'love'? It is and always remains the desire for unity, only it can also be a wrongly directed love to which this desire of yours applies .... But the desire for it is in you to possess what you love .... If you now have emerged out of a love pure beyond all measure, then also My desire for you is according to this love. I just want to make you happy, create happy states for you, therefore give back to you everything what you had given away voluntarily. It wants to put you again into the state, which, since you are products of this love power, was a state of highest bliss. And when you now lack every possibility of comparison in the state of imperfection, then you also cannot imagine what this happiness consists of. You will always be considered according to the degree of love in which you stand yourselves, and with increasing love you will also be allowed to feel always greater happiness. These blisses consist of (in) innumerable spiritual experiences, in a kind of creative activity, in seeing spiritual creations, in constant desire and constant fulfilment, in hearing My word .... All this triggers a bliss for which you humans lack any concept .... For My infinitely profound love always wants to make you happy, to give you something that you once possessed ....

(19.5.1965) But the highest happiness will always be for you the passing on of My flow of love power, because there will always be lightless places, which you are to cover with light .... And to pass on My love power means to supply truth to those, which you possess in all fullness, which is also supplied to you unlimitedly and in it consists your happiness, which is still completely incomprehensible to you, because to pass on light into darkness is to a degree happy, because it constantly increases and is no longer given by such a being. The soul will always want to help, and it will always also find souls in need of help, and this help is happy for it and will still never be carried out for the sake of its own happiness, but always only love drives the soul to this help, but love is in every soul of such strength that it alone already prepares happiness, which is immeasurable .... So bliss is not 'striven for' by any soul, that it could be felt as reward .... For no soul desires it, but the exceeding love drives it incessantly to an activity which is bliss in itself, whether it consists in creating and shaping or in dispensing the truth .... it will always be felt as 'bliss' because it always consists of the beatification of other beings, thus it is no longer possible to speak of its own 'reward'. The spiritual world offers you so many glories, but which originally were your share and which you are now only allowed to take possession of again, which therefore make you immeasurably blissful .... It is therefore the original state in which you were, and you now stand as man in a very defective state, so that an 'eternal happiness' is presented to you as desirable. But you cannot form a picture of what is to be understood by this happiness, yet this much you should know that you no longer want to return to that defective state where you have not yet fully grasped the love which you only ever want to radiate to those beings which need a light. For to be able to make yourselves happy again will be the greatest bliss for you, and you will always have the opportunity to do so when you can be struck by My ray of love yourselves, which you can always pass on to the areas where there is still darkness, and it will then be the task for you which makes you happy yourselves ....

Amen

Again and again God reveals Himself to His children ....

B.D. 8978 from May 21st 1965, taken from Book No. 94

So open yourselves; let My ray of love fall into your hearts; give ear to Me, and believe it that it is Me Myself who speaks to you. Because I still want to tell you much, because time presses until the end and because you, who are to hear My word, must move in fullest truth, to be able to impart it to the few, who are open-minded for it. For you are to give them obvious evidence of My existence so that they can believe in a being Which Itself takes care of people in their great adversity, which signifies wrong thinking to them .... so that they will also recognize the great love in this being Which wants to help them find their way out of every adversity. Quite obviously I want to make Myself known to men, and still I will force no-one to believe in Me who does not want it, because also My address will be able to be accepted or also rejected according to their will. But it concerns those people who are of good will but who are too weak themselves to establish a bond directly with Me .... it is about those who only need a weak push, who want to believe but who need a little help to be able to believe. They are to be addressed by Me through you, who have made it your business to serve Me as loyal servants in My vineyard. And therefore you must first free them from erroneous teachings; you must seek to cause them to think about it that a God of love always reveals Himself to His children, that He speaks to them and everyone can hear His address. You must be concerned about the salvation of those who are not able to believe that they are persecuted by a being, Which is pure love in Itself, and that this being wants to address them all to help them to find back to Him, from whom they once started. In a world, which is ruled by satan, My counteraction must be quite obvious, therefore I speak Myself to men through you, and who is just prepared to examine these words in the heart, he will also recognize them as My address, and it will make him happy, because it solves all questions, which a man will ask himself, who would like to overcome spiritual blindness .... Man will receive enlightenment where human understanding is not competent, where no enlightenment can be given to him from the human side, and he will believe it, nevertheless no proof can be given to him. And although I still have to send many sorrowful events over men because of those who have no faith, then the ones who are Mine will not let themselves be frightened by it, because they know it, what I still want to achieve with it .... that I also just want to win those who are undecided, and give them a sign that I am .... But if a person listens to you then inform him that you are in direct contact with Me, don't be afraid to speak openly about My working in you but rather accept a disparaging statement than to remain silent, for I will bless every attempt to lead one of them to faith. Only a small push can already bring this about because I also still want to win the few who think about everything and come to no right result, who do not take the way to Me because they are not able to believe in Me. Because I also take care of them when only the will is good that they do not openly act hostile against you. Because then they are still ruled by My opponent who will extinguish all light because they do not defend themselves against him. But then they also can no longer be helped, then they will have to take upon themselves the lot of the new banishment when the end has come ....

Amen

Enlightened thinking is also a sign of the "working of the spirit" ....

B.D. 8979 from May 22nd 1965, taken from Book No. 94

My word sounds in the whole of infinity, everywhere where I-conscious spiritual is, no matter whether it is people on earth or also light beings in the spiritual kingdom, everywhere where beings open themselves to My illumination of love. I address all of them because this illumination of My love is an act of happiness which people on earth are certainly unable to grasp in its depth but which is extremely blissful for all beings which have already matured. I am in contact with all through the word; to all I supply My word directly or indirectly; to all I supply knowledge; I give them brightest knowledge of My rule and work in the whole of infinity .... so that they learn to love Me ever more and also feel loved by Me, so that they become ever more blissful because the radiance of love no longer ceases .... But if this process of receiving My word is now to take place on earth, then the redemption from original sin, the redemption through Jesus, must irrevocably have preceded it, otherwise it would be impossible for people to hear My word .... as well as the transmission of My word on the part of the beings of light can take place on people's thoughts who certainly also live in love but nevertheless don't believe in the direct working of My spirit and therefore don't listen themselves to the voice which quietly sounds in them .... Only love is necessary that it is ignited, to therefore also be able to be put into clear, truthful thinking on the part of the light beings. And then a person's train of thought will naturally be the same as that of a 'word recipient' .... Yet the human being himself, to whom My word is sounded, is unable to feel the bliss which My word triggers in the world of light, precisely because he still lives on earth, where he cannot be granted such bliss which would render him incapable of further activity on earth. Nevertheless, it is a process of utmost importance when a person shapes himself into a vessel which receives an influx from the spiritual world and also wants to supply his fellow human beings with this influx, who do not themselves have the intimate bond with Me .... as the origin of that strength of love .... in order to also be able to hear My word .... But all those already move in the light who make contact with a transmitter of spiritual messages, and they will always find support on the part of the world of light, because everything which is radiated through by My love holds together, because no being can exclude itself from it anymore, if it has ever been a right messenger of light .... a person who has let My divine flow of love flow into him .... For this one is already in contact with the spiritual kingdom, and he only still carries out the mission on earth, which he himself had taken over as light spirit .... You therefore see that the radiating of light to earth is an act, which therefore can only rarely happen, because also only rarely a conscious union with Me is established, while men can often mentally stand in truth, only then will not find the confirmation that they stand in right thinking. Because light shines everywhere where only love is kindled, and therefore also there will be mental agreement. And still My direct word from above will again and again be the standard, by which you will be able to determine the rightness of your thoughts, because since in the last time great confusion is among men, My opponent will also know how to throw you into doubt, and then you are to cite My direct word for comparison, and you will also experience the truth of the effect of a love life, because "who remains in love, he remains in Me and I in him ...." So he cannot think wrongly, because I Myself am with him and in him .... And thus humanity is never left to itself, it is unceasingly looked after by Me and the world of light, it only needed to direct its will right in order to be guided onto the right path with certainty. For My word, which gives them light, will always and forever sound, and there will always be people who can receive it .... the beings of light will only ever take care of the distribution of that which they blissfully unmeasured, and the willing human being will always be receptive to what is conveyed to him by Me directly or through beings of light. For My word is the emanation of My strength of love, it is 'I Myself' in all fullness, it is the nourishment of the soul, My flesh and My blood, which I bestow upon all those who want to be united with Me and find their highest beatitude through the supply of that which none other than I Myself can offer them ....

Amen

Severe suffering can result in childship to God ....

B.D. 8980 from May 23rd 1965, taken from Book No. 94

You have been told several times already that you can only attain childship to God if you surrender to Me with love and also humbly bear the sorrow which you have to experience in order to purge the soul from all impurities, so that, on entering the kingdom of the beyond, you can be completely permeated by My light of love, for every ailment, every suffering the human soul still has to endure on earth dissolves the layers, and then the full light ray of My love can touch the soul, because it has relinquished all resistance ....

Therefore, don't be discouraged by a difficult earthly life but believe that it will be a blessing for you which fully offsets all suffering, and be patient, for the reward will be greater than great and the time of the human being's suffering on earth is but short compared to the glorious fate awaiting the soul throughout all eternity. This is why you should gladly accept a life of suffering; you should know that such an earthly life is imposed on you by My immense love so that you soon will be able to reach the goal set by Me since eternity. For what follows your earthly life cannot be explained to you, it is the most magnificent fate which is only destined for My 'children', who will be invested into all the rights of the Father, able to work like Him .... without difference, because they have attained the highest goal.

Yet even for these very children I Am unfathomable, that is, they incessantly strive towards Me .... they long for Me and their longing will always be fulfilled .... And the essence of their bliss rests in the fact that they will never cease yearning for Me, that they thus can never be entirely satisfied because I Am and remain eternally unfathomable. For this reason you have to take the most difficult conditions in earthly life upon yourselves, you will be tested time and again, and you have to remain steadfast even in utmost suffering and always know that only your great love for Me and your neighbour can alleviate your suffering, but that you are incapable of such love which could entirely eliminate suffering .... and thus you should be grateful that you are allowed to bear sorrow as it only serves to perfect you. I did not say to you without reason 'Take up your cross and follow Me ....' For I knew that only a path of utmost suffering will result in your childship to God, because as human beings you are incapable of the love that also leads to childship of God, and also because earthly life is too short unless you accept suffering at the same time.

Therefore, do not ask why I let a human being suffer .... Rather, think of the benefit of suffering, bear in mind that it dissolves all layers which prevent the soul from receiving the full illumination of love .... and that it is always just a temporary state which is then replaced by eternal happiness, for which you would have accepted even more suffering if only your physical strength would allow for it. Thus you who have to suffer so much should remember that it is the longing for 'children' which motivates Me to put you into this state .... and that you yourselves will be grateful to Me one day for all the adversity you had to endure in earthly life.

Yet this always presumes firm faith in Me, faith in life after death and faith in My infinite love, then you regard every happening as a return of the once fallen spirit to Me .... with the goal of childship to God, which I cannot achieve in any other way but by means of the path across earth. And if you have this faith then you will also patiently endure every suffering, you will only ever see one purpose in it and accept everything that you, as a human being, cannot change anyway, but you will humbly bear it as imposed on you by My wisdom and love in order to guide you to the highest goal.

But only few will reach this goal, yet they can nevertheless be happy if they don't (even those people can be happy who don't) enter the kingdom of the beyond entirely without light, for they will still be able to enhance their degree of light there. They will also be able to rise ever higher and experience infinite beatitude but they will no longer be able to achieve the 'childship to God' which necessitates a life on earth .... Nevertheless, they will be able to repeat this life in order to fulfil a mission, and even then they will not be spared all kinds of suffering in order to achieve utmost maturity .... in order to enter the spiritual realm as the Father's true child, in order to then be able to eternally create and work at His side, in accordance with His will and yet in all freedom, as it was His intention from the start ....

Amen

Questions about the meaning and purpose of life on earth ....

B.D. 8981 from May 24th 1965, taken from Book No. 94

To fathom the meaning and purpose of earth life should always occupy your thoughts until a clear answer would be given to you, which I also send to every man who earnestly desires an answer. But your thoughts are far more turned towards earthly matter; you strive for its possession and are excessively concerned about the well-being of the body, which after all is only the cover of that what is the epitome of your being as man .... the soul, which cannot pass away. But before you do not concern yourselves with such thoughts no information can be given to you, because such an answer also presupposes a question, which is proof for it that man seriously concerns himself with such thoughts. For truly I will answer you when I recognize this question in you, when you want to know what has preceded your existence as man and when you are prepared to draw consequences out of a knowledge, which I now supply to you. You do not know that countless beings of light are waiting for such questions to be sent out into infinity in order to now send you the answer .... you don't know that your spiritual guide constantly tries to induce you to occupy yourselves with spiritual questions, that you once detach yourselves from the world and all earthly things in order to take a look into the spiritual kingdom .... But who still believes in a kingdom, which is outside of earth, which is actually the kingdom, which you can call your true home .... who believes it that you only stay temporarily on earth, that you then enter that kingdom and you enter it in the state, which you create for yourselves? Who believes that the actual meaning and purpose of earth life is the reshaping to love, which man must practice in the midst of the earthly world? You all look at the world as an end in itself and do not consider that it is only the means to reach the actual end. That is why you also value the world too highly, and you only see all those things which serve you for bodily well-being. But if you would see the meaning and purpose of life and then ask yourselves how you do justice to it, you would ask yourselves to what extent you consider your soul, whether you supply it with the right nourishment, which it needs to mature, only then you would have grasped the right meaning, and then you would already be on the right way, which leads to perfection. Only then would you learn to despise matter; you would always only take care that the soul receives what it needs, and put back the body. You would ask spiritual questions, which would be answered for you, and your life would not be idle, then you could receive light and again radiate light on your fellowmen, who like you deal with spiritual thoughts. Just ask yourselves this one question, what is the purpose of your being on earth, and you will receive such an answer from your spiritual guardians that your spiritual questions will no longer come to an end, because it is I Myself, who gives you answer through the messengers of light, as soon as you earnestly desire it. For I only expect this one question from you, but it must be seriously asked by all, even if this only happens mentally .... Because through these questions you open yourselves to all those powers, which are active for Me, which are benevolent towards you and which are always helpful, which want to lead you on the right way and which seek to cause you to go the way of faith and love, which always leads towards Me, Who is love from eternity. But then also your desire for the earthly world will decrease until you finally can completely overcome matter, until your look is only directed upwards, where your true home is .... The material world was only given to you for testing, who overcomes it, he has passed the test and will now be able to safely enter the spiritual kingdom, but who lets himself be ruled by the earthly world, he remains in the power of My adversary, to whom the earthly world belongs. And a long time will still pass for him before he releases him, indeed, he is in danger to finally fall prey to him again and to become again himself what he had long since overcome .... to the hard matter he aspired to on earth as desirable and his lot is again banishment in the creation of the new earth .... (then his lot again is banishment in the creation of the new earth) ....

The extent of the natural disaster before the end ....

B.D. 8982 from May 25th 1965, taken from Book No. 94

You should all prepare yourselves for the end, so that you will at least be able to enter the kingdom of the beyond with a small glimmer of realisation. Only a short time will pass but this fully suffices if you have the good will to achieve your transformation into love. You will have ample opportunity for this as soon as My intervention has taken place .... as soon as you are afflicted by a natural disaster which dwarfs all previous events. You cannot possibly imagine what will happen and yet, you should believe that My voice will resound most powerfully with which I shall speak to you humans just once more before the final end arrives. It will mean a terrible experience for all of you .... only My Own will not be affected as much because their faith is so strong that they entrust themselves to Me completely and therefore will also always receive the help they expect. And then every person will have the opportunity to practise unselfish love in order to still achieve full maturity, for there will be very much hardship and everyone will be able to help, if only with comforting words of encouragement which refer people to a God of love Who only requires a trusting prayer to Him in order to be able to visibly demonstrate His help to them. For whatever you can still give to a person in a spiritual sense will help his soul and save him from the dreadful fate of a new banishment. But you will also be able to help them in an earthly way, for the resolve to help will also place you into a state of being able to help, for where human will is unable to help I still have countless helpers at My disposal who will look after you in remarkable ways. I only require firm faith from you, and you will have this when you realise that everything I predicted is coming to pass and when you therefore hand yourselves over body and soul and only want to work for Me and My kingdom.

And this time should be used well by you, you should constantly practise love which again and again will give you strength, you should only ever think of your souls, because you don't know for how long you will still be allowed to live on earth, since the time left to you can only be limited, especially if you cannot attain the strength of faith which enables you to endure until the end. In that case My mercy will be greater if I call you away from this world ahead of time .... if you can still enter the kingdom of the beyond where it will yet be possible for you to progress but where you will not be at risk of descending into the abyss again in the end .... for I fight for every soul and know its will, and thus I also know where there is still a possibility of salvation, and I will certainly make use of this .... only one thing I cannot do, I cannot forcibly release you from My adversary's hands .... For he has the same right over you because you once followed him of your own free will. And thus I can only ever just help those of you who want to release yourselves from his control. And I will truly do so by every means, for alone the fact that you are being informed of the approaching immense adversity .... that you can increase your strength through prayer if you believe in it .... is a very significant help. For you all are capable of uniting yourselves with Me in prayer, of appealing to your Father that He should grant you the mercy of not becoming quite as badly affected by this natural event, which is at all times in My power. And every such prayer sent to Me in spirit and in truth will be granted by Me, this is why not all people will be equally affected, and My will shall visibly express itself and also strengthen the faith of those who were still doubtful .... Yet even those who don't believe will begin to wonder, their hatred towards the believers will increase and subsequently degenerate into hostility, which My Own will also have to suffer. Nevertheless, they have My guaranteed protection, because as long as they work for Me and My kingdom I will also know how to guide their steps so that they will not remain unsuccessful, and the souls which received help from them in their spiritual and earthly adversity will be very thankful to them ....

Amen

The path under the cross must be taken by all people ....

B.D. 8983 from May 26th 1965, taken from Book No. 94

You cannot be told often enough that you must all take the path to the cross, and neither can I release you from this path to the cross because you are all burdened by the guilt of sin for which Jesus, the human being, made

Amends, and because, until you do, you cannot enter the kingdom of light which only He can open for you. Consequently, the knowledge of the reasons and the significance of the act of Salvation must time and again be conveyed and explained to you humans, for your belief in it is only very weak now, time and again people will deem it a myth they are supposed to believe but which cannot be proven historically. But Jesus came into the world for the sake of an important mission, and He indeed accomplished this mission by walking the most gruelling path to the cross, by placing the whole of humanity's sins upon His shoulders and enduring the most bitter suffering and pain of death on the cross, which opened the door to the kingdom of light for all souls who place themselves under His cross, who want to belong to those who are redeemed, who confess their sins to Him and appeal to Him for forgiveness. For only the free will to accept the act of Salvation and its blessings will loosen the shackles which keep you chained to the one you once followed voluntarily and thereby sinned against Me .... The evidence for this can no longer be given to you people, you must believe that the man Jesus died the most agonising death on your behalf in order to do penance for Me. However, you will be able to muster this belief and time and again discover it through My spirit, so that you can also advocate this belief with conviction, for precisely this working of the spirit in a person has only become possible through Jesus' death on the cross .... through the act of Salvation, so that a person's abilities, which had laid dormant in him while he was still burdened by his original sin, can break through again. This working of the spirit will continually take place .... People will always be able to receive the information about the great work of mercy which was accomplished by the man Jesus for the sake of the original sin ....

It was not merely the act of a human being, as I Myself sheltered in the man Jesus and thus redeemed your guilt .... Love impelled Him to take the immense suffering upon Himself .... I Myself was this Love and I was able to so completely permeate Jesus, the man, that therefore Love Itself accomplished the act of Salvation .... that the human being Jesus was only a shell for Me in order to visibly suffer and die for people, because, as God, I was incapable of suffering. Nevertheless, He kept His body so as to, in unity with Me, be and remain a visible God for all My living creations. And thus you will now understand that no-one can avoid the cross if ever he wants to return into the kingdom of the blessed spirits. You will understand why the original sin will keep you apart from Me forever, and that, for the sake of My justice, I cannot redeem it in any other way than through the acknowledgment of the greatest sacrifice of love and an appeal for forgiveness .... Only then will you be able to return into your Father's house, which you once left of your own free will by following the one into the abyss who is an enemy of all life and who wants to keep you in a state of death .... However, you have free will and can just as easily take the path to Me, to Jesus Christ, in order to be and remain eternally happy. I cannot deprive you of your freedom of will, but neither can My adversary force you to submit to him, you must make your own decision; consequently, Jesus Christ and His act of Salvation will be pointed out to you time and again, you will be informed of His path of suffering, His bitter and painful death on the cross, to make you aware of the fact that you yourselves have been the cause of this act of atonement and subsequently take the path under His cross, voluntarily confess your guilt to Him and appeal to Him for forgiveness. And My infinite love will acquit you of your guilt, My infinite love, which sheltered in the man Jesus, will loosen your fetters and open the gate through which you may enter into My kingdom of light and bliss, where you can be permeated again by My light of love, as it was in the beginning.

Ascension of Jesus ....

B.D. 8984 from May 27th 1965, taken from Book No. 94

Also My ascension is a doubtful event for you men because you cannot believe it that only a process happened visibly, which all souls that have become perfect experience, which you just cannot follow and that is why also My ascension seems to be unbelievable to you, but which actually happened, however only visibly again for the ones who are Mine, for My disciples and all who believed in Me and in My mission, who believed it that in Me the highest being hid Itself, and that is why they also could experience everything unusual without them having been forced to believe. And purpose of My visible ascent upwards was only that that My disciples, to whom I had given the assignment to go out into the world to announce My gospel, could stand up for Me and My word in all strength of faith, because they saw Me with their bodily eyes go up to heaven, and thus they experienced the crowning of their faith that I disappeared before their eyes, that they could clearly see and recognize Me and that I was suddenly no longer there, because the spiritual kingdom had received Me again, the kingdom where I reigned in power and glory .... My body had spiritualized itself, and it was this spiritual cover which was visible to disciples until I disappeared before their eyes. Yet this ascension of Mine had left no emptiness in them but only brought them the confirmation that every word they had heard from My mouth had been truth. And that is why they also stood up for every word full of conviction and they became right announcers for Me, who could speak filled with My spirit, who therefore also mentioned everything of it, what took place with the work of mercy .... that they therefore testified of Me and the work of redemption. The fact that My ascension is again and again doubted by people is due to the fact that the actual purpose of the human being is unknown to them, that the spiritualization process of the body is alien to them and that they will not be able to gain information about it until they seriously decide to increase their spiritual maturity themselves. Then also this process would be believable to them, which was nothing else than the passage of the spiritualized body into the kingdom on the other side, where life is continued in all bliss. But for this the belief in a survival of the soul belongs first .... Who does not have this faith, he will also not want to believe in a process, which should be a proof for you men for the survival of the soul after death. But My disciples did not lack this faith, it is just that such visible evidence of My presence had not yet been given to them .... But that is why I could let the process become visible to them, because they had already penetrated into knowledge and now only experienced the confirmation of it. They were certainly saddened to now finally know Me there, where also their true home was, but they knew it that I wanted to prepare the place for them, where also they were to stay one day, to reap the fruits of the earth change, which consisted in the spreading of the gospel and showed many men the way up. And however difficult the ways were, which they had to go, they had nevertheless experienced Me; they knew it that I was now with them, that I directed their thoughts and again and again gave them instructions, which were to make their mission easier for them .... For no-one could any longer rob them of the faith that I was God Myself, that they also now receive the strength from Me directly, and thus they were also filled by My spirit, as I had promised them .... They knew that they only still had to fulfil their mission in order to then likewise leave the earth valley and be able to enter the kingdom of light .... Yet to you people of the end time all this seems like a legend which you cannot believe, yet My ascension into heaven has indeed taken place, which will be understandable to everyone who has already penetrated further into spiritual knowledge and who himself makes an effort to spiritualize his body .... Then he, too, will ascend to the eternal light, only that it will remain hidden from his fellow human beings and must also remain hidden so as not to force them to believe .... But those disciples were already alive in their faith, and I knew it that it only helped them to strengthen their faith, why only those were allowed to experience My ascension, for whom it no longer meant compulsion of faith. And so you should also accept it that it truly took place, and you will also be able to do it when a little knowledge has been presented to you about it, which meaning and purpose your earth life has at all .... Then everything will also become understandable to you for which the completely ignorant cannot muster any understanding ....

Amen

After reading the book "Karmatha" ....

B.D. 8985 from May 28th 1965, taken from Book No. 94

It is right when you question Me, where you are not sure of it, whether messages reach you out of the spiritual kingdom, which can lay claim to truth. For you all do not know if and when My adversary intervenes under the cover of piety, especially when vessels are offered to him which are difficult to control because they seem to go in the same direction and yet are served by such forces who want to spread erroneous spiritual material .... You have always been told that I Myself, as the eternal truth, want to be approached for the supply of pure truth and that I cannot contradict Myself .... But if you are given a picture which portrays to you the development of a child which first has to be trained in My kingdom for a later mission on earth, then this contradicts My portrayal of not fallen original spirits or of fallen original spirits who have already reached the light and who go across earth on a mission for the purpose of attaining childship to God .... So you are consciously misled, and that is from a side, which itself is ignorant, but pleases itself in novel-like representation, which also had this gift in earth life to express itself imaginatively, and who now again seek such vessels, which are in the same condition, but without attacking Me Myself thereby, who only do not report truthfully, who only wrap themselves in the garment of an angel of light to thereby put an untruth into the world. Hence only such beings will ever inspire the writer who do not stand in truth themselves, who therefore seek to spread error on behalf of My adversary and for the purpose of credibility certainly portray Me Myself as the one I am but also confirm everything that, that is error. And therein lies the actual evil of those messages, that I Myself am to confess Me to an open untruth .... Who knows My act of creation, he knows it in which way it went on; he knows it that all beings were created perfectly, that they fell away from Me, but that I never created beings, which first had to be educated by higher light beings, but that they all stood on the same level, only separated themselves later through the apostasy, in order to now take the return path through the abyss, that they can now certainly also be called away from earth as children and can now also continue the course of development in the beyond, but that I Myself did not create any still unfinished beings and that this is therefore the untruth which My adversary seeks to spread. Moreover the thought has been decisive to fathom the pre-development of a man, who offered himself to Me for service, and it has led to this description, because beings always agree to spread error, and whether it also happens under the cover of piety. And even if such a report cannot be called ruinous, it is still built up on an untruth, and this is always a danger, because only pure truth can make a man completely happy ....

Address of God must be desired ....

B.D. 8986 from May 30th 1965, taken from Book No. 94

When spiritual knowledge is imparted to you by Me Myself, then you also have the duty to pass it on, provided that it concerns messages, which are given for all men, which are to serve all men for the reshaping of their souls to love, therefore everything what can be called knowledge, which reaches into spiritual area, which you did not possess before, but is to lead to the recognition of it. For through these transmissions I address all men; I as it were announce to you again My gospel of love, but which I provide at the same time with the reason necessary for you, under which everything must be understood what has caused your human existence on this earth, what is valid as purpose and aim of earth life .... in short, everything that gives you again the bright knowledge which you had lost through your fall into sin .... And so therefore My messages from above include everything in themselves, through which the course of ascent development is guaranteed for you. And that is why you will have to realize the importance of passing on and also that I Myself do everything to support you in this work, because I know it, which resistances arise for you and how you are hindered on the part of My opponent, but who is powerless, because it is about the spreading of the divine love light and he flees this, as soon as he recognizes strong light bearers among you. When you therefore offer yourselves to Me to carry on My gospel of love, then he cannot get you into his power, because you then fight at My side; you stand up for Me and so also experience My protection. And that you are allowed to be receivers of My messages, which I address directly or also indirectly, that is again based on your love, which will increase the more you receive. Therefore you need not fear that I will let My source of grace dry up as long as you want to serve Me .... But one thing I have to emphasize is that you have to make a distinction between spiritual impartations which lead you to profound knowledge, to a knowledge of what is otherwise hidden to you and such messages which are to be assessed as advice .... directed to your fellow human beings who expect advice from you or through you. Because also then I will express Myself when you intimately ask Me, because I speak to every child, which expects this address .... You must keep this apart, that .... if such an address is not expected .... I will not express Myself either unless I speak to everyone and then everyone will recognize this address as being addressed to him, that he can accept and take it to heart according to his will but also reject it. You must always consider that I hand spiritual bread to all men, which they now can accept or not, so that no man feels himself forced .... but that I do not choose the way to win him through a personal address, if he himself does not desire it from the heart .... If My word conveyed to you from above is offered to a person, he is entirely at liberty to accept it as also addressed to him, but he can also reject it .... But if he is addressed without his direct request he will immediately reject this word, he will not be able to help feeling a slight unease, and this is also justified because he was in no relationship whatsoever with Me and he rejects such a 'direct address' as untrustworthy. For everything has to happen without compulsion of will, and therefore I always address people in such a way that they are not forced to believe it .... But a personal address is always a compulsion of will, which is not of use for him, indeed can rather still let him doubt the credibility of all word receivers. That is why I also advise every man to ask questions himself, which I will certainly answer him in his heart after intimate prayer, because exactly the intimacy of his prayer will also cause Me to express Myself in him .... For I desire such a one, because then the union with Me is established, which makes it possible for Me to express Myself. But also a mediator must pay attention that the questioner himself presents his requests to Me, that he himself is just as eagerly endeavoured to unite with Me .... that he not only expresses a question, which I am to answer him, but wrestles in intimate prayer himself for the answer to his question, which then will also earn him the answer through a mediator .... You must always consider that every man must acquire the maturity of his soul himself, that you certainly can help him to go the right way, but that the will of man must always remain free, which you are not allowed to endanger through announcements, which are arbitrarily supplied to those who have not desired them from the heart. Because these I also do not address, because the desire for My direct address must be present, if it is not about the great knowledge about realization in the spiritual area, which I let go to all men without distinction ....

Amen

Diversity of the celestial bodies ....

B.D. 8987 from May 31th 1965, taken from Book No. 94

The area, which is unfathomable for your mind, you can still enter, as My spirit can work in you .... Then there are no limits for you, for My mind is My portion, and I Myself know all, nothing is unknown to Me, and so I can also convey the same through My spirit, I can open up you into all areas .... But it depends on your maturity level, how far you can take insight into the secrets of creation, and depending on your level of maturity I can teach you, although even the smallest knowledge corresponds fully to the truth. But it’s up to you, to increase the maturity level, to be able to penetrate deeper what only love always realizes. For love bands closely together with Me, and then you shall also be filled by My spirit, you shall be able to see the whole creation lightly and clearly and capture all contexts. You will also know about the kind of creations, their purpose and their respective destination. You will also know about the diversity of the stars, which are so versatile, because they also carry all different mature souls and .... since I had countless ideas and them could carry out .... I therefore also formed every star after each other thoughts (laws), but which should all be for the return of the once fallen (spirituals). I’m not a being, Who is limited, Who gives up or uses up in His strength .... I constantly create and always new ideas emerge from Me and take shape .... I have so many mansions, where the development of those beings on the way back to Me is going on, My creations are countless and ever more creations arise out of My love, because I prepare new joys again and again for all of My beings, as more and more all of them climb to height, when they are on this way once. And so the people on earth are .... once when they have reached to a small glimmer of insight in the afterlife .... now also ascend and a throwback to the depth is excluded. Countless celestial bodies are to accommodate for these souls again, always appropriated to their level of maturity, that is always more increasing and thus also forces a change of their residence again and again .... You humans can see countless celestial bodies from earth, though those are for you to look .... but are innumerable. And there are still countless celestial bodies in the whole of creation, that are invisible for you, so that they also far exceed your estimate capacity as a human being .... So you only can watch the whole creation in the brightest light, because then you also know no longer limiting. But then your bliss doesn’t know limits, for you know the determination of any star and also to the state of maturity of its inhabitants, and you will always seek to increase it, to put them all in the same condition, in which you yourselves now dwell: in intimate union with Me Myself and constant streaming by love .... But a condition of your ascension is, that you possess a glimmer of knowledge .... And that means, that the truth has already penetrated you, because before that you move in the dark or walk in light twilight .... that you can not seperate from heresies. And the number of them is large .... This condition is probably is tried to be changed by light beings, but as long as they are rejected, there is no hope, and a throwback to the depth is still to be feared. But as well as there is just some love in them, they will not be closed from the intentions of the beings of light, which point them again and again to Jesus Christ, then they will also get off of their error and accept the truth, and the way up for them is safely. For these people the knowledge could have been developed already on earth, if they had attended to the voice of the spirit in themselves, because having already the knowledge on earth, opens the people the door to the kingdom of light, and they will certainly find back their way into Father’s house, in order to unite with Me forever ....

Outpouring of the spirit was not a one-time event ....

B.D. 8988 from June 4th 1965, taken from Book No. 94

I only require from you the willingness to let My love illuminate you in order to then also be able to pour out My spirit, which guides you into all truth. I require of you that you voluntarily open yourselves to Me again in order to then also be able to make yourselves happy with the knowledge which you once possessed but had voluntarily given away. It is so easy to understand that you must cancel your former sin through that you again give Me the love, which you yourselves gave up to Me, and that you again let yourselves be illuminated by My love, as once, when you were still devoted to Me willfully .... that you therefore enter again into the original state, which made you unspeakably happy. And again you will be happy, because to receive My love is the highest happiness, which you can prepare for yourselves. But always your free will is needed for it .... With the outpouring of My spirit in you you will again reach the state of realization, for this is the effect of My spirit, that it opens up the knowledge to you again, which once made you happy, and then you will also recognize the rule and work of your God and father, that you will know about all correlations and no longer walk along in blindness of spirit .... that you stand in the light, for the knowledge of truth is light in which you may now walk, which impels you to pass this light on to where there is still spiritual darkness. From the moment you open yourselves to Me you live your earthly life consciously, for you clearly and distinctly recognize that a aim lies ahead of you which you should achieve and which you can also achieve because you can always draw the strength from Me which the process of spiritual working entails .... And even if you are physically weakened your soul will still be able to enjoy this strength because everything that comes from Me can only have a good effect for you. And your longing will only be for the final union with Me .... You will make an effort to fulfil My will, which only ever consists of you practicing love, of you practicing all virtues and thus maturing your soul. The outpouring of the spirit into a vessel opening itself to Me is the highest what a man can acquire on earth, because then he has already entered My kingdom; the light of knowledge shines for him, and voluntarily he has again come closer to his original state, because to be filled with My spirit also presupposes the redemption through Jesus Christ. And then he is also free from My adversary, who will indeed try him again and again but without success. The outpouring of the spirit is no imagination but the human being can prove it through tremendous, extensive knowledge which he has never possessed before but which lies dormant in every person and only needs to be brought to awaken .... But man will also now know that he thinks right when he represents this knowledge; he will know it because his spirit itself tells him this, and no-one will be able to rob him of faith. (4.6.1965) Who allows the outpouring of My spirit in himself, he is an aspirant of My kingdom with all its glories, because he has taken the last step to enter this kingdom by voluntarily establishing the bond with Me as the source of light and power from eternity .... he has put himself into the state in which My first disciples were when they were able to be permeated by My spirit and now proclaimed Me aloud, for in the same way as they did they will also (the last one will) now not be able to keep silent, they will (he will) speak without shyness about the fact that I Myself make Myself known to them (him), they will (he will) proclaim the gospel of love and completely move on a spiritual path. They (he) will also be convinced himself to only speak the pure truth because My spirit guides them (him) into this .... And whether also a long time has passed since these My disciples have experienced the outpouring of My spirit over them, so still the few, at whom the same process repeats itself, will be just as convinced of truth and stand up for it. And therefore I again and again see to it that disciples speak on My behalf, and this especially in the time of the end, where almost all faith in a spirit work has been lost. And also these I send out again with the assignment to pass on the eternal truth to willing men, who desire pure truth, which however only comes from Me Myself .... through the working of My spirit in the human being .... emanate. The fact that you humans only regard this act of the outpouring of the spirit upon My disciples as an one-off act, that you lack the knowledge that this act could take place in all those who, like My first disciples, lived a life of love .... proves the lack of love and the influence of My adversary, who is always intent on keeping you in darkness. But still again and again men have been enlightened by My spirit who were serious about standing in truth. And these also worked in silence but were soon no longer heard, for the adversary worked so obviously that he chose precisely those to support him who were actually supposed to represent the truth, who believed themselves called to stand in the pure truth and now proclaim it .... And so 'spirit-filled' people have always been hostile because their spiritual knowledge contradicted their own teachings. And it remained so, error prevailed more and more, because no attention was paid to what people received through My spirit, and because in the end even this working remained unknown to people and not even those who knew the scripture experts dealt with this problem, which they could solve with the scripture itself .... And thus the act of the 'outpouring of the spirit' has only been granted to My first disciples .... but everything that is written in scripture also applies to all people .... everyone can put himself into the state that the same grace will be granted to him if only he lives a life of love and the desire for pure truth prevails in him, which then also enlightens the person from within, thus 'My spirit works in him' ....

Amen

Natural disaster before the end ....

B.D. 8989 from June 5th 1965, taken from Book No. 94

My care of love is meant for all My living creations, which expresses itself again and again through My word, for I want the path to Me to become easy for them, I want My will to be presented to them in all clarity, which they .... if they earnestly strive for it .... will comply with and are therefore not merely listeners but doers of My word. And My love also extends to those people who are still far away from Me, whom I cannot address directly but whom I also do not want to lose, whom I do not want to leave to My adversary who irrevocably draws them down to the abyss again .... And for their sake I still let a great judgement go over earth, to which I have already pointed a long time. I still make a last attempt before the end, which will follow soon afterwards .... I obviously announce Myself but without forcing men to believe. Because whether also the forces of nature will still have such an elementary effect .... only part of people will ever recognize My obvious manifestations in them, while most will still deny a God and creator even then on the grounds that a God Who created everything does not destroy His own works .... And they cannot be forced to think differently, and it will be their lot to be banished anew again in the creations of the new earth. But the few who recognize Me Myself and My voice in the coming disaster, to them I will stand by in all earthly troubles and seek to strengthen their faith so that they do not get lost at the end, or I will call them away still before into the kingdom on the other side. Because My love goes after every soul to win it back to spare them a renewed walk through the creation of earth. And I think of it that you still stand under the law of time and space, that it means an unthinkable long time for you, where you again remain in unhappiness, until you again reach the stage as man, where you will certainly then again have the feeling for time and space in the state of I-consciousness, but still have to suffer unspeakably before. When now mankind will be affected by that natural disaster then it will certainly be stiff from horror about the size and the extent of the event, and a fear will seize men who stay behind that this event could repeat itself and that no country is safe to also be affected by it. And yet, only a few people will want to recognize Me Myself in it and change their lives .... Because the majority is faithless, and they only see in it a natural event which is just greater than all previous ones, which has to be accepted, no matter whether it claims many victims .... And it will also not be possible to make the end believable to them, which will be exceedingly significant and serious for them. Because they are rather inclined to see the natural event as being in connection with the human attempts to penetrate the universe, but to recognize no divine power or strength in it, which they deny, because they are already so entangled in the darkness of spirit that a change of thinking is impossible for them. And still this natural event is the last sign before the end, which should make everyone think .... And I also pursue all My creatures with My love, who are not completely dismissive and will also think about what I aim at with it, and consider everything as an address of those (to those), who did not recognize My quiet voice and therefore have to be addressed louder .... For I still woo every soul until the end that it finds the way to Me and surrenders to Me, and truly, My love will seize it, and it will be saved for time and eternity ....

Amen

Various schools of thought .... There is only one truth ....

B.D. 8990 from June 6th 1965, taken from Book No. 94

In every school of thought you will find something that corresponds to truth, yet you will encounter far more misguided points of view and therefore you must examine everything and establish its origin .... not everything can be endorsed as truth. The vast number of existing different schools of thought all deviate from each other. And this alone should make you think, for there is only one truth and this originates from Me directly. Pure truth, however, will only ever be gained through the working of the spirit in the human being, for this reason it is imperative to establish first where My spirit was able to take effect and thus also has taken effect. Then the contents must concur with My direct message from above .... But who can claim to have the working of My spirit in him? Who has the guarantee that pure truth is received by him and conveyed to him? This question is clearly answered to you: Anyone who, without having any previous knowledge, attains knowledge from within himself about My eternal plan of Salvation, about the meaning and purpose of his existence, about My reign and activity throughout the whole of infinity, anyone who can substantiate everything and knows all correlations .... is enlightened by My spirit, and his knowledge corresponds to the full truth against which the contents of every spiritual movement must be examined, and every teaching which contradicts this knowledge can be rejected .... This certainly provides you with the opportunity to subject the knowledge you have attained until now to scrutiny, but who makes use of this indication in order to take possession of the pure truth himself?! Each school of thought refuses to let go of its own point of view, and thus a vast number of erroneous teachings were able to slip in through My adversary's influence, although every spiritual movement contains a grain of truth as well. However, they all agree not to accept anything which really is the truth! .... For precisely this process of the 'working of the spirit in the human being' is alien to all schools of thought, and so only rarely do people believe that I make Myself known to anyone who fulfils the conditions I attached to it. This condition requires the human being to live a life of love, because love unites him with Me and, as a result, I Myself can speak to him .... This condition could be met by any human being and he, too, would know the truth and think correctly. And all those who comply with My easy commandment will also be convinced that the truth is conveyed to them when they receive such gained knowledge through 'the working of the spirit'. Yet their number is small precisely because people lack love .... Consequently, being members of any kind of spiritual movement will not benefit you if you diligently advocate its teachings .... you are nevertheless spiritually dead for you do not recognise the truth, which alone can advance you on the path towards ascent .... And as long as you are unaware of the actual purpose of your earthly life, the knowledge you possess is wrong and can never lead you to higher spheres. This can only ever be achieved by love, which all of you can practise but are unwilling to do so because your selfish love is still too strong and thus the truth still remains inaccessible to you, i.e., you don't recognise it as such .... And you will live in error, just as you will enter the spiritual kingdom with this error, where it is far more difficult to release yourselves from it, for you will not accept the truth over there either, even if it is offered to you. It therefore always depends on your degree of love as to whether your thoughts come close to the truth, and this is why you need only ever be given the teaching of love so that your thoughts will be right, so that My spirit will be able to express itself in you, so that you will recognise and accept the pure truth which will assuredly guide you upwards towards your perfection .... For darkness will always fight against light, yet the world belongs to the prince of darkness and only the person who detaches himself from him can enter My kingdom. And I will truly help everyone to recognise Me and the truth ....

Amen

The doctrine of the soul’s sleep ....

B.D. 8991 from June 7th 1965, taken from Book No. 94

The fact that you are willing to support My Word, which is sent to you from above, gives Me reason to inform you of an error you have advocated up to now. It concerns the doctrine of the sleep of the soul, which gives you a completely wrong idea about the soul and its state when it enters the spiritual kingdom. This doctrine is substantiated by the assertion that there is no mention of an immortal soul anywhere in the Scriptures .... which, however, can be refuted with the Words ‘Whosoever believes in Me will have eternal life ....’ And sleep is a brother of death .... thus someone asleep will not be alive but dead, in the darkness of night he will fall into the state of death, consequently a life in eternity is out of the question. Those of you who depart from earth with this idea will be in dire straits, for you really lack all knowledge and will take a long time to gain a glimmer of understanding. In fact, you will depart from this earth in complete blindness and will receive only little light in the beyond, if you lived a life of love on earth.

But until you let go of this misguided teaching you will not know that you have died either, since you are still in the state of self-awareness, which is your consciousness of continued life. You merely believe that you were transported into different surroundings but will never be able to find rest .... the kind of rest you associate with the state of sleep. And so you will still live but not in a state of beatitude, rather, you will live in the confusion of thought which corresponds to the teachings you advocated on earth.

Everything that emerges from Me remains immortal for all eternity, but it can enter the kingdom of the beyond in a state of death. And all of you who spread this misguided teaching choose this state of death. You do not strive for the life that should be your destiny when you enter the spiritual kingdom. Because only this is the beginning of your life, providing you live a life of love and are able to let go of this misguided teaching. If you believe in a ‘resurrection on the day of Judgment’, when all who rest in their graves will be awakened, then it will also be your fate not to come to life until you realise the foolishness of this teaching. And your existence in the beyond will be the same, you will linger in an eternal state of inactivity, in a state of sleep, or you will find yourselves in a world you believe to be earth, which you left a long time ago.

Particularly you humans who advocate this misguided teaching, have no idea what anti-spirit you have accepted, and you will have to muster an enormous amount of love in order to suddenly recognise the reality of things. Consider yourselves fortunate if you leave someone behind on earth who will pray on your behalf, who will help you gain the right insight. However, your degree of love is always the decisive factor as to whether or not you recognise the truth in a flash when you pass away from earth. But since you do not believe in the ‘immortality of soul’ you do not believe in communications from the spiritual kingdom either, which would provide you with knowledge. And that is your disadvantage, because it would inform you of the constant ascent of souls who enter the spiritual kingdom, and you would reject this misguided teaching as satanic and only intended to prevent you from ascending in the beyond, which would soon result in the true life you are all meant to reach one day ....

Amen

Right direction of free will ....

B.D. 8992 from June 9th 1965, taken from Book No. 94

Again and again it has been explained to you why I have endowed you with free will, the sign of divinity. And still you mostly use free will wrongly, although it is told to you that your happiness depends on the direction of this will. Because also My opponent seeks to make this free will his own, and you follow him far sooner, because there are urges in you, which clearly prove his nature and which you would like to fulfil, even if you then take damage to your soul. The earthly world is his kingdom, and with this he will lure you again and again, and as soon as you fulfil his will, the life of the soul is lost to you. But this earthly world will only make you happy until you leave your earthly body, only then will you experience what earthly life has brought you .... only then will you regret your earthly life with the slightest glimmer of realization that you did not fully give your will to Me .... For then you would have entered the kingdom on the other side blessed with rich goods, and you would know why your will had to be free and could not be forced by Me. But you could just as well turn it towards Me, and a happy life would have been granted to you, which would never have stopped. You therefore had to be in possession of free will to be able to determine your lot, because from Me no being stands under compulsion, because that would have meant a state of deficiency, however only most perfect could emerge out of Me. But through your free will you also had the possibility to fall into endless depths, but to be able to rise again out of it to highest height, what would not have been possible, if I would have created you without free will, that you therefore well would have done mechanically everything what My will determined, but not you .... free from My will .... because then you would have been dead creatures which had to completely subordinate yourselves to My will. And this completely contradicted My love, wisdom and power .... to populate the spiritual world with such dead beings, for everything issued from Me had to be supremely perfect, and that also necessitates free will .... That this freedom of will became your undoing I certainly foresaw from eternity, but that it also earned you the complete maturity, which resulted in the degree of a child of God, I also foresaw, and that also moved Me not to prevent the falling away of the beings, which then would also have meant that I had to make your will unfree. You men will only grasp all this when you can be radiated through by light, because in the state as man you are not receptive for deeper wisdoms, and you will never be able to understand why I let a creature go such a dreadfully long way from Me to come to the last perfection. But you will also never be able to understand in what the great sin consisted, which the being committed. Because the way through all agonies does not yet by far make up for this sin, and first the highest being had to descend to earth to redeem this sin. But then also the door is again open to the being, which leads to Me into the kingdom of light. But all this did not need to happen when the being would have directed its free will right .... And again you will also not be able to grasp and fathom My plan of salvation from eternity because I Myself am eternally unfathomable for you, My creatures, because you will never be able to completely grasp Me in My love, wisdom and power .... For My love is endless and embraces all My creatures .... My wisdom is unlimited and wants to give all My creatures the highest happiness, and My power is unsurpassable and can do everything what it wants and what contributes to the happiness of My creatures .... so in the end your lot will be a glorious one, which can no longer be surpassed, and My creatures as My children will now enjoy all bliss, they will always and forever praise and glorify Me and sing thanks for the love I have shown them .... even when they went through the torments, for they have passed away but the bliss remains with them for all eternity ....

Requesting divine blessing ....

B.D. 8993 from June 11th 1965, taken from Book No. 94

Whatever you undertake, you must always ask for My blessing, then only everything can earn you the success, which you hope for. And that you especially then work with My blessing when you undertake spiritual work, that will also give you the power for it, because where I Myself am approached for help, there a work cannot be done in vain. And My blessing will rest on every spiritual work, because it is the most important, which you are to do for the sake of the redemption of your fellowmen. And since you fulfil My will with it, that you take care of the neighbour's spiritual trouble, My blessing will also always be certain for you, but you are to request it consciously, because then I can give to you unlimitedly. You thereby prove to Me that you place yourselves completely under My will, that you are only ever prepared to serve Me, that you want to do nothing that does not correspond to My will, and that you love Me as I want to be loved .... Your request for My blessing I also comply with immediately, because this is a spiritual request, which is certainly also to be assessed spiritually, if you ask for earthly things and I will certainly also fulfil these for you, because you then also only ask for something what is not to the harm of the soul for you. Therefore always pray for My blessing, whatever you also want to undertake. Pray that I bless you every conversation, every action and every thought. pray for My blessing in every undertaking you want to carry out, and thus never leave Me out of your thoughts, for you will experience for yourselves how important it is that you submit yourselves to Me in everything, that through this request you always long for My presence and that it is also certain to you .... I always just want that you constantly think of Me, because only then I can obviously stand by you, and I will also do that that I give you clear signs of My presence and through this your faith is strengthened more and more. Because this will still be exposed to many onslaughts from the side of My opponent, and only when you are strong in faith, you will be able to resist these onslaughts. And if you now ask Me in every spiritual or bodily trouble to bless your doing, you will also be able to meet all disaster, because it is now always Me, to whom you have entrusted yourselves and who now acts for you, you therefore only carry out what is My will .... You must always be connected to Me, every thought should always be directed towards Me first, then all your actions will also be under My blessing, and then you will mature in love and also in knowledge, for then My strength of love will constantly flow into you, and a quiet peace will be your lot .... Do not leave Me out of your thoughts any longer .... This is My perpetual care for you that I want to be the content of your thoughts, that I can constantly go to your side, but what presupposes your will to request and accept My guidance. But then you can cover your earthly way of life without worry, for I Myself desire you and expect nothing more from you than that you also have this desire in yourselves, that it may also be your most ardent desire never ever to separate and to be united with Me for all eternity ....

Amen

God's protection for the light bearers ....

B.D. 8994 from June 13th 1965, taken from Book No. 94

With the support of all good powers this work has come into being, and the world of light will also continue to be involved in it, because it is about that what is most significant for you men, about truth, which only comes from above .... from the kingdom of truth .... can come. The world of light is eagerly endeavouring to break through the darkness which is spread over earth and to inform people of knowledge which only I alone can radiate through them to earth, which they constantly receive from Me Myself and pass on to people who are willing to love and who voluntarily open themselves to this flow of grace. The last event .... the total transformation of the earth's surface .... is imminent, and it prompts all beings of light to be diligently active so that the truth will assert itself, so that it will be conveyed to those who seriously desire the truth, and so that all those who receive it will also commit themselves to it and again and again try to win followers. And even if the circle of those is very small, but they all enter the kingdom on the other side richly blessed with spiritual goods and can again mentally instruct men from there .... because who once possesses truth, his endeavour will always be to also impart it to those who still walk along in darkness of spirit .... All of you who receive My word from above are under the special protection of the beings of light so that you can also carry out your mission without worry, for you will not leave the earth valley one day sooner until you have fulfilled your mission for the purpose of which you were allowed to enter earth, even if this seems unlikely to you .... In view of the great spiritual hardship you need not fear failure, after all, people only rarely place themselves at My disposal, and those who voluntarily offer to pass on the truth will be blessed by Me, for I also need willing forces on earth who are active on My behalf .... For whether My adversary also seeks to prevent them .... he has no power over those who have completely given their will to Me, who are willing to be active in My will. For all those have strong spirits of light around them again, which guide them in their thoughts and also again and again supply them with power, because it is still necessary to awaken many people and to hand them spiritual bread as well as a fresh drink, which is to give them life .... Where I have opened up a spring there you shall all refresh yourselves .... where I work so obviously you can drop every worry, for who has the power to prolong your life if not I, Who have given you life? And so too you should not worry about your co-workers who .... as long as they work for Me .... truly can do nothing better than to help spread the truth. The full conviction that they only spread the truth makes them the most suitable forces, which I truly do not take from earth until they have done the work assigned to them .... And this I assure you again and again that your life lies in My hand and that you can also know to be protected by all light beings, because they only carry out My will, and this is always only anxious that I still rescue men from ruin, who want to let themselves be rescued. Every person's life is in My hands .... And when I call men away before through misfortunes and disasters of all kind, then I know exactly who still can reach maturity in the hereafter and who has not proved himself in earth life, and I have further schools ready for all these to win them once nevertheless for Me, even if still eternal times can pass away .... But all this is only to let you men think of the fact that there is a power, to Which you are given up without will, and you should seek to establish the union with It, because only in the union with Me you will mature on earth and then also be receptive for the pure truth, which you all must accept, if you once want to be and remain happy eternally ....

Life in divine order ....

B.D. 8995 from June 14th 1965, taken from Book No. 94

If you humans would all move in divine order then your maturing would be guaranteed because you would then live in love, which is the epitome of divine order. You would then also stand in fullest truth, because the light of truth would shine in all of you and this truth inevitably leads you towards Me. But how does it look in mankind? I-love comes first, but neighbourly love, which is unselfish, is rarely practiced by only one man, and so door and gate is opened to My opponent, where he can have an effect and also does this, by him leading you into error, which lets you fall into his hands more and more and which can never ever lead to Me. And so you also know about the reason of your low; you know it why also the great earthly trouble is in the world; you know it that one is the enemy of the other, because all of you lack love, because it has grown cold among men, and without love no liberation from My opponent is possible. Therefore a limit is set for you men of the present time, because you no longer make use of earth life to bring your soul to maturity .... But the few who still move in divine order I know .... they belong to Mine whom I will rapture as the stock of the new human race .... the others will have to take the path once more, for the earth will be dissolved and its external form totally changed. Then the upward development of the spiritual is to progress again, because everything pushes towards perfection .... all spiritual still bound in form wants to progress in its development and for this purpose will again be begotten in the new creations .... so that in the beginning a harmonious state will prevail where all bound spiritual likes to serve and thereby again and again becomes free out of form. And that is why the act of dissolving and of forming anew cannot be seen as an act of unkindness because the spiritual in the last form as man has failed, and so it itself gave the impetus to the complete destruction of the outer form, and a section is ended to now let a completely new earth follow where now also the souls will come to maturity faster. But no man wants to believe in it and does not make use of the short earth time because whether also My word is constantly supplied to you from above, men do not believe it and ridicule everyone who brings this to their attention. But since only love would give them this knowledge, the state of men is also hopeless, even so the great trouble before will still give many the opportunity to awaken love in them in view of the great tribulation, which will come over mankind. Because through this a rescue is still to be hoped for that men are touched by the trouble of their fellowmen and are lovingly active.

Then I will also visibly come to the aid of those who are driven by love to alleviate the trouble. But there will only be a few of them .... But the end comes irrevocably and will surprise men .... It initiates a new redemption period, which again starts with a paradisiacal life, which also lasts for a long time and many souls enter the kingdom on the other side maturely, where they can again work as spirits of light .... I can only call out to all of you: once the time is ended, which was granted to you on this earth .... And if you fail, you will not be spared the fate of a new banishment, so that after an endless time you will again reach the stage as a human being and now have to make the decision again to whom you want to belong .... Me or My adversary .... And your fate will always be how this decision turns out ....

Amen

The eternal word itself addresses you ....

B.D. 8996 from June 15th 1965, taken from Book No. 94

The eternal word Itself speaks to you .... The father wants that you hear He Himself again, as it was in the beginning, that you again feel the same happiness when He can radiate His light of love into you. He wants to make you happy again as once when you had gone out from Him as free beings, but when you also knew what you were. He now wants to make this knowledge accessible to you again, which you had lost through your turning away from Him. And therefore His word sounds to you from above .... you can hear it when you open yourselves to receive His ray of love. But then you are also close to your perfection; then you have successfully taken the way back to Him, and this means that you have finally made yourselves free of him who kept you bound until you had found the divine redeemer. And that is the sign that He is close to you, that you can talk with Him, that you can hear His word in the heart and reach that stage where you can again join the army of the happy spirits to now be able to be active with God and in His will. That you can hear the word of your father from eternity in you, if you still stay as man on this earth, that is a visible sign of His presence, because to be able to speak to you, He must also be close to you, so close that you can hear Him in the silence of the heart .... And when He reveals Himself to you, then this is also a sign that you consciously seek Him and have found Him, that you desire His address and that He also gives it to you. Because it is still a gift, an unheard-of favour, because He also addresses those who do not yet have maturity, but who can also reach it through His address, because His word has a power, which you cannot measure .... And anyone who is willing to be addressed, who does not resist His word, will truly also feel the strength of it, for he will manifestly receive a gift of grace which will help his soul to mature .... Because the father instructs His children; He instructs them of His will, and He introduces them into a knowledge, which they had lost, but which means a bright light for man, in which he now can go the way up. The word is the outflow of His love .... it is the epitome of that what will one day make the soul immeasurably happy .... it establishes the connection of the highest being with the human being who wants to hear His word .... And it is to be requested by all men with fervour because it as it were proves the entry into the spiritual kingdom, which is still closed to all those who are not receptive for the word of the father. Again and again the father addresses His children to prove Himself to them, but faith He only finds with those who have already carried out the change to love themselves, because love opens the view for them; love makes the heart receptive for the word, which now can express itself in a vessel having become love. And it will express itself as long as the world exists because the word sounded in the beginning and will never ever pass away .... It will always and forever sound in the spiritual kingdom and also on earth, but there only then when a vessel is found, which has formed itself through love so that the divine word .... the love radiation of the father .... can radiate into it. And all of you are to utilize this favour right, because when you just let it have an effect on you, you will irrevocably also reach life, which you can no longer lose eternally. But who passes it by, the word itself will become judgement for him. For he has not accepted the great grace, the gift which the father offered him .... He did not take hold of the helping hand that wanted to pull him up to the heights .... He has disregarded the word which wanted to turn the love of the father towards him, the sin of rejecting divine power of love has been repeated, and he will again have to go the course through creation which will again bring him endless torment .... For this is the sin against the spirit when man consciously opposes the father's address, when he recognizes His word as God's word and yet leaves it unheeded .... because he has to answer for it ....

Amen

Time and space law .... state of the still imperfect ....

B.D. 8997 from June 17th 1965, taken from Book No. 94

You can assume with certainty that the work of return will one day be completely successful for Me .... that I will not turn away from any being, that every being will take the path to the father's house .... that even My first-fallen spirit will one day return to Me of its own accord and that therefore no being's fate could ever be called hopeless, even if it still keeps itself distant from Me for eternal times .... Because My love is guarantee for this, which will never stop to worry about every being, which once has taken its start from Me. Because since every law of time and space is eliminated for Me, it also does not mean that what you understand under eternal times .... With Me everything is one, past, present and future .... And also the sufferings and agonies, which you have to get through to again return to Me, are only moments for Me in relation to eternity. But it is precisely the law of time and space in which you can achieve your self-aware state .... as a human being .... and which makes the time of suffering so unbearable for you, for the being also suffers dreadful agonies in the bound state, because the spiritual being was once completely free and now feels the bondage as agony but yet knows nothing about the duration of this state. But as man this law is valid for him and it will not end until the being is in the state of perfection and then all limitation falls away for it. So the soul also takes the concept of time and space over with it into the kingdom on the other side, only it is in the immature state of confused thinking and believes itself already long times in an environment, which does not please it, although it is not yet long time in the kingdom on the other side. Therefore the concept of time and space is still a sign of its deficiency, but which the being will still have until it has found Jesus Christ .... which then also secures it brightest thinking, and complete devotion to Him also redeems from this bondage to time and space .... Therefore also the man, who still finds to Jesus Christ on earth, will no longer think earthly, but the thoughts will be directed heavenwards, and he has already made himself familiar with the thought that earth life is only a temporary state, in which he is to reach the last maturity .... that there is then also no longer time for him and that he can always transfer himself where he wants. And when man has already come up to this spiritual recognition, also no suffering will touch him anymore so that it seems to be unbearable for him, because he knows it that this also passes and will once appear to him like a shadow, which has fallen on his earth way. However, the human being as such must also be subject to the law of time and space, for his soul can only mature through suffering and torment, and the duration of time as well as the locations play a major role in this, for if this law were eliminated a major factor contributing to the maturing of the soul would be missing, because a state devoid of time and space is the fate of the already perfect, whereas it is a means for the still imperfect to do everything to become free of suffering and torment. Nothing that constitutes the bliss of the beings of light may be equal to that which the unblessed have to endure in the depths through their apostasy from Me .... The kingdom of these apostate spirits was a limited world, and thus they also had to suffer from this limitation .... But at any time they are free to lift this limited state and to be happy again without limitation .... But then they will also understand it that the time was like a moment where they had to bear suffering and atone for their former sin. And then it will also be clear to them that this law of time and space must also be part of the still imperfect spiritual world and that it only contributes towards perfection ....

God's protection to His employees ....

B.D. 8998 from June 18th 1965, taken from Book No. 94

Whatever may happen, leave yourselves completely to My guidance, which is always concerned about you that you remain loyal to Me. Whatever approaches you I know it, and I also know a way out for everything, because I care a lot about your cooperation, because the work, which you do, can only be carried out by men, who are completely devoted to Me. Nothing is hidden from Me; I know to direct the threads, and what you do not think possible, that I manage with ease, and you will again and again experience My guidance; you will again and again experience that there is nothing impossible for Me when it is about to impart the light of truth to men. And as long as you regard this task as the most important one, you can also know yourselves to be under My special protection, and everything will shape itself such that you will clearly recognize My guidance .... Because only one thing is necessary: that men have knowledge of their earth life task, of their state and of their aim. And everything what helps to bring knowledge to them I will support in every way, and you can rely on this promise that I will always take care to create the preconditions for you that you can carry out this work .... since there are only few men who earnestly want to serve Me and I will also not abandon these men. But leave it to Me how I want to help you, because also this is included in My eternal plan of salvation, so that everything takes place in lawful order, whereby I always have to take the will into account, which has to remain completely free, therefore everyone has to put himself voluntarily at My disposal to now be active in My will .... But you will be amazed at the ways I choose, and from this you will also be able to see how tremendously important your work is to Me for Me and My kingdom .... For I do not want the work to suffer a delay, because the time is only very short until the end and every opportunity is to be used where My word is conveyed to people, for it is the only salvation for those who want to accept it .... And therefore opportunity has to be offered to them so that no-one can say that he has not been addressed by Me, although I have many ways to address people, but this does not belong to your area, you are only to ensure as far as possible that they have an explanation for their human existence on this earth, that you inform them of their original state, of your present existence as man and of the aim, which they are to reach. You are to urgently present to them the commandments of love, that these are the most important, which they must observe to fulfil their purpose of existence. You are only to initiate them into the work of return, which is to prove to them My endless love and give them knowledge of My being .... For they no longer have faith, and that is why they need strong evidence of My working, which you can give them through your knowledge. And therefore I will not let any of My co-workers become unfit but do everything to make his work for Me and My kingdom easier. And again and again you will recognize My obvious guidance, which proves it to you how much I am interested in your cooperation. For I can determine everything but not the will of a man to serve Me .... And only few are found who muster the will, whom I then can also use as loyal servants in My vineyard. That is why I will always promise those My special protection, and I will guide them and go by their side so that they can fulfil their task ....

Amen

Jesus descended into the abyss after His crucifixion ....

B.D. 8999 from June 20th 1965, taken from Book No. 94

When I lived on earth My constant thought was to save people from descending into utmost darkness so that they would be unable to enter the vestibule of hell (which even denied their entrance to the vestibule of hell), on account of which I continuously proclaimed the teaching of love to make it easier for them to believe in My act of Salvation, and thereby the work of redemption was already achieved in these human beings. Yet people were still too occupied with the earthly world, only a few believed in life after death and they were receptive to My teaching of love, and they recognised Me with ease since I was also able to instruct them and they accepted everything as truth. Thus a large proportion of those who experienced Me were able to enter My kingdom in a 'redeemed' state, yet far more rejected My teaching, they remained heartless and had to endure their fate in the beyond ....

After My crucifixion I also descended into this kingdom and was able to release all those who stayed in the vestibule of hell .... all the people who had lead a God-pleasing life but for whom the kingdom of light was still locked because they were still burdened by the original sin, since My act of Salvation had yet to be accomplished .... I approached them as the 'human being Jesus' for they, too, should not be compelled to believe, I joined them in My figure of suffering which made many ask the question: If You are the Messiah Who was promised to us, why did Your power not prevent this .... why did You have to suffer this appalling death on the cross? For they had been waiting for Me, for the One Who was promised to them as a Saviour. They, too, had to follow Me entirely of their own free will, and it was not difficult to convince them that I was this promised Messiah ....

Then, however, followed My descent into hell .... into the region where I also wanted to bring salvation from the original sin .... There I was less successful in convincing the souls, precisely because I appeared in the same figure and was visible to them as the 'beaten Jesus' to Whom they denied all power and thus they did not want to acknowledge Him either. Nevertheless, anyone who wanted to was allowed to follow Me and I released him from his bondage. And time and again I descend into the abyss to ignite a small light for everyone, so that they momentarily will remember the One Who once came to them and this will gradually lessen their resistance, so that they, who previously had been stubborn and only had words of hatred and scorn for Him, will also let themselves be redeemed by His love. Yet My love will not hold anything against them, My love is constantly concerned that everyone should be rescued, that no-one will return again into the bondage of the one who had owned them for so long, and that My act of Salvation for these, too, had not been made in vain. But I cannot prevent it if their resistance to Me is so strong that all efforts on My part are in vain, for I will never force anyone to acknowledge Me, I will only offer everyone the best possible opportunities to find their way out into the light.

And thus you humans render Me a great service by praying for these souls, for there will always be a few who will let go, who will be touched by the power of prayer and then can be guided into the light. And in sincere gratitude these souls will do the same and entice other souls out of the abyss .... since they know each other and they understand and try to disperse the objections which still dominate them.

Once it is possible that they at least take notice of My greatest act of mercy then they will also reflect on it and try to make contact with Me .... And then the forgiveness of their immense sin is ensured, then the gate into the kingdom of light will be opened for them and a long state of torment will have finished. Yet those who are unwilling will be subject to a new banishment at the end, for one day they will have to regain their self-awareness as a human being and decide once more .... And thus the process across earth can indeed happen more than once, and sooner or later even these beings' will shall surely turn to Me as well, one day the hour of salvation will also come for them ....

Amen

God is aware of the human will .... Natural disaster .... Protection of the servants ....

B.D. 9000 from June 22nd 1965, taken from Book No. 94

Everything is included in the plan of creation, and thus it follows that I know every person's will which, so to speak, provides Me with the reason to shape his destiny of life such that it can only benefit him, providing the person strives for the latter. And you can rest assured that I indeed know the inclination of every individual person's will but I cannot change it or make it inclined towards Me. Nevertheless, I can still let a human being take many paths in order to attain a change of will. This is what I intend to achieve through My intervention which will certainly claim countless people's lives but for whom the gates into the kingdom of the beyond will still be open so that they can still reach maturity there .... Yet the remaining survivors will be granted the tremendous grace of being able to accomplish this change of will while they are still on earth, in order to then be saved for eternity. Time and again I refer you humans to this event, but I do not find any credence .... Only very few people spend serious thought on the forthcoming event, yet even they are incapable of imagining the magnitude of the catastrophe, because it will surpass everything that ever has happened on this earth. And neither can the individual person form an impression of it, because people will be cut off from all communications, the connections between the affected places as well as the countries will no longer exist. Some swathes will seem entirely deserted where only a few will find each other in order to continue their life. Anyone who does not hold on to Me and entirely puts his trust in Me will be horror-struck. And then his will can decide .... Every individual person can still find Me and he will be very safely guided through the chaos .... But he can equally curse the Being Which allowed this to happen and the curse will fall back on him. And especially because I Am aware of people's will during the last days, it shall be My last attempt to spare people the dreadful fate of a renewed banishment. And again you will ask why I allow such destruction to come upon humanity, which will only be surpassed by the final disaster .... because you all lack faith in an eternal God, in a Creator of Heaven and Earth, in the One Who also created you .... The number of people who still possess faith and have not lost it as yet is constantly declining, and these will not cease to believe or they will be recalled beforehand so that they will not have to endure this suffering. And neither need you pity anyone who departed prior to it, for the opportunity to mature fully still exists for him in the beyond. But once this day has come it will be futile to escape for My hand reaches all places, and thus I also keep My protective hand over everyone who belongs to Me .... And I will manifestly be with them, for they will be in utmost adversity and I will come to help them in their need.

And then it will be clear what strength of faith can achieve .... For anyone who merely seeks My proximity will receive the evidence of My presence and his faith will constantly grow stronger. The time of the event will not keep you waiting long, even if a thousand years are like a day before Me. However, I have told you that you will live to see it .... And that means that a large proportion of those who accept My Word will experience it themselves .... that I will still make great demands on them, for then the time of activity will have come when you shall still be diligent labourers for Me and then I will not remove you from earth until you have fulfilled your task .... This applies to all of you who work for Me and My kingdom. For time and again I keep telling you that I don't have many labourers in My vineyard and that I will therefore protect everyone who places himself at My disposal. From this alone you can conclude that it won't be long until this disaster, which will be inconceivable for you, both its magnitude as well as the suffering and misery it will signify for the survivors. Consequently I must equip those people with much strength so that they will be My supporters during this time of sorrow. And I will also give you strength, since you are very weak by nature, because I will need you during this time and will use every conceivable means in order to increase the number of My Own, in order to grant them firm faith as to influence those who still lack faith in a God and Creator, to Whom all power is given in Heaven and on Earth and Who thus can also extend the life of those who want to help them gain faith .... And remember that the end of a period of salvation has come, that this time need only be exceptionally used and that I will therefore also use exceptional means in order to merely fan a tiny spark of faith in a person before he has to relinquish his life. For once he has this small spark it will also ensure his ascent in the spiritual kingdom. But to depart entirely without faith from earth is a hopeless state and will end with renewed banishment, because the gates of the beyond will close the moment the old earth is dissolved. For this reason I will leave no stone unturned at the end in order to persuade people to change their will, and because My gentle voice within is ignored by them I will speak louder, so loud that they must hear this voice .... But whether they will recognise Me Myself by that is still left up to them, nevertheless, it seals their future fate. Even so, you, who are of service to Me, are assured of My protection and blessing in spiritual and earthly adversity, for I Am in need of you .... So even if you approach difficult times you are nevertheless looked after by Me and need not fear anything ....

Amen

The infinite Love accomplished the act of Salvation ....

B.D. 9001 from June 24th 1965, taken from Book No. 94

Always remember that earthly life is the final stage of your perfection which you can successfully conclude by merely handing yourselves over to the One Who died for you on the cross. His act of Salvation released you from all guilt providing you accept it voluntarily. It is therefore of extreme significance for you that you will find Him during your life on earth, as He will open the gates again for your return into your Father's house. This is why Jesus Christ and His act of Salvation cannot be mentioned often enough, and if you have the slightest sense of responsibility you will not carelessly pass Him by. You will know that He can liberate every one of you from the adversary's control, and you will indeed do what is required in order to appeal for His forgiveness, you will abide by Him and secure His love, Which took your guilt of sin upon Itself and now makes a constant effort to draw you closer to Itself .... This love does not want to abandon you and does whatever it takes so that you will surrender. The fact that a supreme being of light offered Itself to suffer and die as a human being on your behalf in order to redeem your immense original sin was the greatest act of mercy, for the 'human being Jesus', Who was no differently fashioned than yourselves, had to endure this suffering and death .... Yet He was permeated by love .... the fundamental substance of God. ... Which gave Him strength to persevere until the end. Thus love accomplished the act, and this love was God Himself .... Consequently, God Himself redeemed your guilt of sin; His love was so great that It did not want to leave you to the adversary, It took pity upon you and paid the purchase price for your souls to His adversary. And you should make use of this incredible grace, for it merely requires your free will to accept it. Your life on earth was given to you so that you will take notice of Jesus Christ, the divine Redeemer, in Whom God embodied Himself .... so that you will surrender to Him of your own free will, so that you will unearth the treasure of grace He acquired for you on the cross. For God could only let mercy prevail, otherwise you would never have become free of guilt, but He requires you to accept and utilise it voluntarily.

For the infinite Love of Jesus the man balanced the sin you committed, It atoned for it and satisfied God's justice, and now It also turns to you and offers Itself to you .... so that you will respond to It and provide God with the opportunity again to illuminate you as He did in the beginning .... Those of you who do not believe in Jesus Christ as the Redeemer of the world have no idea what gift of grace you are missing, you have no idea who is in control of you and that you can release yourselves from this power .... However, you are not forced to acknowledge Jesus Christ, just as you cannot be forced by your adversary if you want to liberate yourselves from him .... It depends entirely on your will to turn to Him, but in that case He will be able to change your state into inconceivable happiness. Then you will fulfil your purpose of earthly life which solely consists of your attaining perfection, which only He can grant to you .... And in order that all of you can be informed of Jesus Christ and His significant mission I will also convey this knowledge to those who are still utterly blind in spirit, who need only receive the relevant information so that they, too, will accept Jesus Christ. Then I will let miracles happen, since people in their childlike faith need such miracles of healing which testify to the power of the name Jesus .... whereas people in countries where this knowledge already exists but who nevertheless reject Jesus would be forced to believe, but this cannot be rated as true faith .... And this explains the miracle healings, where messengers are also awakened in order to bring the Gospel to places where people still lack all spiritual knowledge but who shall not go astray either. Therefore they shall be addressed by the messengers who, in profound faith, make contact with Him and are thus capable of conveying the knowledge about Jesus Christ to those people, and Whom He therefore furnishes with great strength to work in His name. For the knowledge shall be carried to all places so that everyone who avails himself of this immense grace and finds Jesus Christ, Who alone can save him from profound spiritual adversity, can still become blessed ....

Why constantly New Revelations? ....

B.D. 9002 from June 25th 1965, taken from Book No. 94

If the Word of God cannot be protected from being changed because human will is free and translations were not always handled by spiritually awakened people, who thus were also able to err, you can understand that this is the reason for New Revelations which time after time had to correct the distortions, so that the Word of God would be able to lay claim to the pure truth .... Exposing such misguided teachings would have been impossible without such New Revelations, especially if people relied on the fact that I Myself protect My Word from all changes .... However, it must also be understandable to you that the human being's free will makes this impossible for Me since I will never inhibit it, even if it concerns the pure truth .... for I also gave the human being the assurance that he is guaranteed to live in truth if he desires it himself.

And thus you can never rely on the fact that you will receive unchanged spiritual knowledge if the 'Word of God' is preached to you, but you have the assurance that you will receive the truth if only you desire it .... Then the preacher .... even if he is spiritually unawakened .... will be guided in his sermon, so that he often will not say what he had intended to say but that his words will be given to him by Me .... precisely because a person seriously requests to be instructed in the truth. If the wish only to learn the truth arose in many people then the preachers soon would also recognise the error and they would try to listen more to their inner voice which is instructing them otherwise. Yet all people have the option to recognise what is wrong in My 'supposed Word', for love enlightens their spirit and only ever accepts the correct and unadulterated information. The person will no longer be able to think wrongly once he is illuminated by the inner light of love. And only then will he notice where error has crept in, where the adversary was able to take effect because people were lacking the light of love. Then he will also know that the human being cannot solve problems with his intellect alone if the spirit within him is not supporting him. Then he will know why the necessity for corrections arises time and again, which I constantly send to humanity again in the form of New Revelations ....

And I will continue to reveal Myself to people who love Me and keep My commandments, as I have promised .... For one misguided thought results in many more, until finally just a distorted image remains of Me, which reflects everything but a good and exceedingly loving God, Who wants to be a Father to you all .... And since you have already accepted so many misguided spiritual values, a God of Love is strange to you, you are still distant from Him, you do not recognise Him as your Father and therefore do not strive towards Him either. And whatever you hear from Him is likely to separate yourselves from Him even more .... I, however, want to gain your love and therefore make use of every opportunity to speak to you, if not directly then through people who allow My spirit to work in them, who either convey My direct Word to you or who think correctly and are also able to instruct you truthfully. For it is extremely important that you can be guided into correct thinking, that you know what you can accept and what you ought to reject .... But don't believe that your correct thinking is guaranteed if you gather your knowledge from the Book of Books, since I do not coerce the human being's will I cannot prevent him from interpreting the spiritual information from this book according to either his own preferences or to his imperfect understanding. For every Word I have spoken conceals a spiritual meaning, and only the human being's spirit is able to recognise it, which will be awakened to life through love but then will also guide the human being into every truth, as I have promised ....

Amen

Spiritual knowledge must concur with the transmitted Word from above .... I.

B.D. 9003 from June 28th 1965, taken from Book No. 94

It is not easy for someone knowing the truth to pass it on to people who are so convinced of the truth of their own advocated spiritual knowledge that they reject everything else. And yet, this attempt must be made, for that which comes forth from Me directly is so powerful that it will convince every seeker of truth .... And time and again it concerns the fact that beings of various degrees of light express themselves, making it difficult for a person to recognise the truth because they believe every expression from the spiritual kingdom which nevertheless should be scrutinised .... Only if the content corresponds to My Word from above can you accept it as the activity of flawless spirits of light ....

For this reason you must always pay attention to My directly conveyed Word and should not believe all messages from the spiritual realm which are given to you psychically, for these mediums may well have the gift of receiving communications from the spiritual kingdom but whether they also have the necessary maturity, which is the prerequisite I demand for receiving messages from this kingdom, is the only decisive factor for the degree of truth of the conveyed proclamations. You humans have too little knowledge of the spiritual kingdom and don't know how often you are affected by the adversary in order to deceive you .... and I cannot stop him because you lack the desire for truth which is the guarantee for receiving the truth in the first place, but then it will also concur with My Word from above. I certainly use every means to make sure that a light will shine for people, that they receive the information about life after their physical death .... I make sure that they will also receive the evidence, even though it will only be accepted again by that person who would like to know this as a result of his desire for truth. Yet even then the risk still exists that beings other than those having been called upon will express themselves in line with their degree of maturity. This is why every spirit of light will warn you humans against psychic communications which are given to you in a state of trance; instead, they will always encourage your conscious reception of spiritual messages, which will indeed only be achieved by a few people but it always offers the certainty of being taught by My spirit directly, in which case you need not be afraid of receiving something wrong. Admittedly, not every communication given in this passive state can be described as wrong or deceptive, but which one of you can verify this? Which one of you is aware of the fact that this opportunity .... of a person depriving himself of his will .... is not used by many an evil spirit? And that the absolute truth cannot be guaranteed if you only rely on messages which may well come from the kingdom of the beyond but which are nevertheless unverifiable?

Only that which is conveyed to you by the 'spirit of God' is pure truth, but it will provide you with an explanation about all subjects, which you can never receive from those beings. This is why every spirit of light will encourage you to prepare yourselves such that you can become a vessel into which 'My spirit can flow' .... And only then will you be sure of possessing the pure truth .... Only then will it be possible to convey far more profound knowledge to you .... the knowledge of all correlations, of the reasons for your human existence, of your past apostasy from Me and the immense significance of Jesus Christ's act of Salvation .... For only I Myself can instruct you of this even if I send this knowledge to earth by way of elevated messengers of light which are illuminated by Me directly and thus they voice My Word, which can be valued in the same way as if I had addressed you directly .... This knowledge includes everything; it includes the work of returning the once fallen spirits to Me just as it highlights the counter activity of the one who caused your fall into the abyss. And this counter activity does not just happen on earth, it also covers the kingdom of the beyond, where all self-aware beings are still in possession of free will, and to make these inclined to turn towards him is and always will remain his intention. Hence you must also take his influence into account, the most important of which is to raise doubts about Jesus Christ's act of Salvation. And therefore you all must recognise that those announcements which deny salvation through Jesus' crucifixion are his activity .... Then you will know that he is at work, that he tries to dissuade people from what is of greatest significance: that Jesus died on the cross for you and your sins. If you are wrongly instructed of this he will have won you over, he will have succeeded in portraying the 'Salvation through Jesus Christ' as wrong and thereby it will be impossible for you to enter the kingdom of light. For My direct revelations from above provide you with a different explanation, and your future bliss solely depends on whether you have found redemption from your past guilt of sin .... the original sin, which is unredeemable by you yourselves. As long as this vital question remains unanswered you will not have been instructed of the absolute truth and will have no other option but to turn to the highest Authority so that It may teach you directly, and then you can be taught in all truthfulness, as I Myself have promised that I 'will guide you into all truth' ....

Amen

Spiritual knowledge must concur with the Word conveyed from above .... II.

B.D. 9004 from June 29th 1965, taken from Book No. 94

(Continuation of B.D. 9003)

Only that which I Myself convey to you from above can be regarded as pure truth .... Therefore everything that claims to be true must concur with it. There is only one truth and this comes forth from Me Myself and will give pleasure to all those who want to think correctly. However, anything that contradicts My directly received Word cannot be advocated as 'truth', for the guidelines are always the same and can be used as a yardstick as to whether a person knows the truth. So if you humans have reason to doubt the information you receive you must always first ask yourselves the question: What is the attitude of people, who advocate this knowledge, towards Jesus Christ and His act of Salvation? What the act of Salvation means for the whole of humanity has been clearly explained to you from above, hence you must evaluate all other knowledge in relation to that, for as soon as it contains no information about this at all, it cannot demand to be regarded as pure truth. And in order to understand the reasons and significance of the act of Salvation you must also receive the knowledge about the original fall of the spirits, because you yourselves are these fallen spirits .... Wanting to convince people of life after death is all very well, but if you don't inform people about the reason for their human existence, the knowledge about life after death is not sufficient in order to let them attain beatitude one day .... For without the redemption through Jesus Christ the kingdom of light cannot be opened for you and you will wander about in the beyond for eternities if the souls of light over there were not to take pity on you and provide you with the knowledge you had rejected on earth because you were thinking wrongly. And thus it follows that every person has to shape himself into a vessel for the divine flow of spirit, which he can only achieve through love, which will subsequently brightly enlighten him from within and give him the right knowledge. But since this is almost impossible at a time of heartlessness, people should gather around a vessel from which the bright and clear water of life flows forth, they shall stoop down and refresh themselves in order to be at least able to receive what is most important .... the knowledge about Jesus Christ and His act of Salvation.

This knowledge is necessary and cannot be replaced by anything else, since only One exists Who can bring people forgiveness for their original sin, but Who will then also remove all guilt the person had incurred during his life on earth. For the fact that Jesus, the man, sacrificed Himself and paid for the guilt through His crucifixion was a unique mission. Time and again you humans must be informed of this, you cannot describe Jesus life on earth merely as a life of supreme perfection, which it undoubtedly was, but nevertheless not know about the profound spiritual reason for His crucifixion, which was unique and accomplished for all human beings past, present and future. Only the acknowledgment of His act of Salvation as an act of supreme mercy for the spiritual beings and the appeal for forgiveness are the key to the gate into the kingdom of light, which you will never be able to unlock without Him .... for He atoned for the sin, which consisted of rejecting the divine strength of love, out of love for God and His fallen brothers .... And this sin cannot be forgiven in any other way than through acknowledging Jesus as the Redeemer of the world, this is why a life of love as preached by Him will produce the prerequisite of acknowledging Him, but the blessings of His act of Salvation must be knowingly accepted in order to be released from the original sin. The knowledge of this must be repeatedly imparted to you humans, time and again you must be informed of the fact that it is not enough to adopt His doctrine, instead, you must consciously desire to be redeemed from your original sin, for which a life lived in love will indeed help you, since the success of a life of love rests in the fact that the light of realisation will shine in you .... However, in that case you will no longer deny the redemption through Jesus Christ, you will know that you have found a Saviour in Him, Who has relieved you of the immense burden of the original sin and Who will also open the gate into the kingdom of light and bliss for you again ....

Amen

What would have happened if Adam had not failed? ....

B.D. 9005 from July 1st 1965, taken from Book No. 94

Every spiritual question you ask Me will be answered by Me. But first of all you ought to know that it was not My will that you should experience such an extremely difficult earthly life. The time you spent with a constrained will .... in the law of compulsion .... would truly have sufficed Me, for this time was so appallingly long that it should have been enough for you to unite with Me again .... but I had to demand the last test of will of you as self-aware beings .... as human beings. You were only meant to give yourselves to Me voluntarily, and thereby you would have cancelled the immense sin of the past apostasy from Me .... You were meant to prove your love for Me, since you had previously resisted My illumination of love ....

For this reason the first human beings were created well, they were devoted to Me in love, for I had provided them with everything, I gave the earth to them as their own, I subordinated everything to them, they recognised Me as their God and Creator .... they were surrounded by magnificent works of My creative power .... they could take pleasure in them .... everything was only done so that they could sing their praises and give thanks to Me .... so that they could offer Me burning love, and they themselves harboured no evil thoughts either .... Yet I also had to endow the first people with free will, since they had emerged from Me as original spirits, which are unthinkable without free will. And since they had once turned away from Me and voluntarily followed My adversary into the abyss, he had the same right to influence the first people, because they had to use their will to make the decision again whether to follow Me or him .... And they failed this test of will, which they could have passed easily, and thereby they reawakened all evil instincts which they had already overcome before their embodiment as human beings .... After that, the first parents passed their characteristics on to the following generations and it became ever more difficult for them to free themselves from the adversary's bondage.

However, if the first people had passed their test of will, which would not have been too difficult, I would have been satisfied with the infinitely long path they had travelled beforehand .... Successive human beings would have equally voluntarily given their love to Me, and then they would have lived on earth simply to take pleasure in its creations .... They would only have exerted a good influence on all creations so that they, too, could embody themselves as human beings. Earthly life would then have been a preliminary stage of eternal life, the opponent's power would have been broken, because the first human beings would have given themselves to Me entirely consciously and thereby would have excluded the adversary completely, who then could no longer use his power and soon would have given himself to My love as well .... Thus, the first people were only required to voluntarily accept My illumination again and the original sin would have been abolished, for only love was able to atone for this sin .... But then the sin was repeated .... and what previously had only applied to the constrained spiritual world in the creation now befell all of humanity ....

What the first people could have achieved with ease had they orientated their will correctly now became infinitely difficult because all satanic attributes became entrenched in people and required immense strength to fight, which could no longer be mustered by people's will. Hence the act of Salvation by Jesus Christ, the spirit of light, became necessary, Who volunteered when He realised that the first people had failed, Who offered, voluntarily .... due to love .... to suffer and die on the cross in order to atone this now twice committed sin. I certainly knew from the start that this second fall into sin would take place but I did not want people to take such a painful path yet I could not enslave people's will either. And since I know that I will regain all beings again one day .... since a thousand years are but a day for Me .... since it concerns eternal life in beatitude .... what you will also recognise one day .... you need not doubt that one day you will be free from those agonies, but then you, in utmost perfection, will also enjoy the glories which will make up for all past suffering and which cannot be compared to earthly concepts.

You should always know that I did not determine the unspeakable suffering which people thus caused for themselves since the fall into sin by the first human beings, that I truly gave the first human couple (the first human beings) every opportunity to make his/their free decision of will an easy one .... that I only gave him/them an easy commandment which he/they could have fulfilled .... if his/their love had been strong enough to decide to give himself/themselves to Me .... but that this heartfelt love would then also have seized all successive people so that they, too, would have been able to resist My adversary's every temptation. But the second fall happened and burdened all following people again until the divine Redeemer Jesus Christ descended to earth in order to openly fight My adversary. For he misused his power by driving people into ever further heartlessness, weakening their will consistently, so that they were no longer able to liberate themselves without the act of Salvation but descended ever deeper into darkness. And I put a limit to this activity Myself .... I sent My Son to earth to save the people who wanted to be saved.

For, again, free will has to be willing to accept the blessings of the act of Salvation, because even this rescue mission cannot be done in opposition to people's will .... At first, passing through the earthly creations should have sufficed as the only test of will for the human being, since the agony in the state of compulsion had already matured every soul enough that it could easily have resisted the temptations, but the fall of the first people gave the opponent renewed power over all souls which he exploited in a frightening manner. It was precisely for this reason why an original spirit was chosen as the first human being, who possessed all the necessary qualities to resist the adversary, but his decision could not be forced. His thoughts and actions had to remain completely independent, but then My adversary took care to turn this will towards himself which thus resulted in the new fall, whereby the sin of the spirits' apostasy from Me was repeated. Yet this right could not be denied to My adversary, because the past fall occurred in free will and they followed him into the abyss ....

Thus you cannot say that I wanted the repeated fall in order to put you into a state of immense suffering again, however, I could not prevent it, because it also took place in free will and one day this free will shall surely choose Me again. You are certain to emerge from this pitiful state eventually, because My love Itself had redeemed you when it embodied Itself in the man Jesus in order to fight your enemy and to take all souls which want to return to Me into their Father's house, into their true home, which they once left voluntarily. For My love belongs to you as before and all suffering will have come to an end as soon as you want to be free from the one who still keeps you in bondage, as soon as you long for Me again and thus give Me the right to take possession of you once more in order to never let go of you again ....

Amen

Why do we have to do penance for Adam's sin? ....

B.D. 9006 from July 2nd 1965, taken from Book No. 94

All your questions will come to nothing as soon as you are offered the pure truth, for this is so easy to understand as long as it is offered to you in the right way. You know that the apostasy from Me took place in a state of brightest realisation. Consequently, all beings were equally responsible for falling away from Me, they could not have been forced by the adversary's will to revolt against Me, instead the 'rejection of My strength of love' was every being's own affair .... Free will made them become sinful which, at the time of the apostasy, had not been subject to My adversary .... because they had the right of self-determination .... it was still able to make a free decision and thus consciously chose the adversary. But now the latter had control over his followers, and this control was taken away from him by Me by letting Creation arise in order to induce the strength which, through the apostasy, had become incapable of any kind of activity, to become active again in different ways .... Thus, the adversary gained nothing from his followers and was only allowed to exercise his power again once the being had regained it self-awareness in the stage as a human being. And I had to leave him this right, on account of which he was then able to tempt these beings. And so he did with all manner of cunning and trickery, he understood how to deprive the first human being of his faith in My Word again which promised them eternal life if they followed My easy commandment. In this human being, Adam, an extremely strong spirit was embodied, whose fall was easily achieved yet again by the adversary .... So was it not obvious that no spirit would have been able to resist him who became subject to the same artful temptations by My adversary? It is not about the fact that the descendants had to do penance for the first human beings' sin, but it is about the fact that I .... had the first human being resisted these temptations for love of Me .... would, for the sake of compassion, have done the same as Jesus, the human being, did at a later time: that He accomplished the act of atonement for the sake of love .... that I would have been satisfied with the strength of resistance by the one person who handed himself over to Me and should have enabled My illumination again ....

And for his will of love I would have written the guilt off, and the path across earth as a human being would merely have served everyone to kindle the love for Me into brightest fire. Instead, My adversary had proved his power over the first human beings and thus did not surrender the right to subsequently use his artful temptations on every person, which I cannot deny him due to the fact that the beings once voluntarily followed him into the abyss .... Hence you cannot say that these people will now have to do penance for the sins of their ancestors but it has always been up to each person to prove himself during the temptations and he will also receive the strength from Me to do so, for I bless this determination and will never abandon such a person to My adversary. However, the first people could have helped their descendants to have an easier life on earth, but since they failed, it was not possible to protect the latter from the adversary's temptations .... unless they appealed to Me for My protection and then their earthly path was indeed an easier one, which was also the case with those original spirits which were receptive to instructions from the world of light and over whom My adversary no longer had full control. Therefore, the fact that those people always had an easier earthly path, that they did not fall prey to My opponent's enticements, that he did not keep full authority over them, is a sign that I have helped and always will help every soul which starts earthly life less burdened and whose will is already devoted to Me .... that I therefore do not indiscriminately give grace and strength to souls to accomplish their path of return .... However, time and again I have to mention that the first human beings made the whole path of return more difficult because of their failure, it would have been far easier to navigate had the strongest, once fallen spirit resisted and followed My easy commandment, had he believed more in My Words which promised him eternal life .... and through his resistance had broken the power, which then would have made it impossible for the adversary to use it on his followers, for this victory would have affected all fallen spiritual beings ....

Jesus' forerunner ....

B.D. 9007 from July 3rd 1965, taken from Book No. 94

The fact that so many people believe that they are an incarnation of the voice in the wilderness is also a sign of spiritual confusion, for it is certain that he will be a great speaker but until his appearance he will not know what task was assigned to him and that he will speak with a powerful voice in order to announce Me and My imminent arrival at the end of the days .... Once again he will precede Me and be met with hostility by all those who don't want to hear anything about the end, who will ridicule and mock him because the things he proclaims seem incredible to them, and thus he will be regarded as a fantasist. And he will come at the same time as the Antichrist incites the eruption of the battle of faith. Then he will fiercely criticise him and My Own will turn to him for strength and comfort, for he will only be active for a short time on earth. Yet he will make good use of this time in order to convey My Word to all who accept it, and My opponents will trail him intending to call him to account, but time and again he will evade them until his hour has come when he will sacrifice his life for Me again ....

And you were told several times already that he himself has no idea about his mission and that it will dawn on him so suddenly that he can be recognised by everyone .... And then he will know why he was granted such a powerful voice, why he must announce Me, for then he will know that the end has come when I will appear in the clouds in order to fetch My Own .... Then the Antichrist will try everything in order to capture him, for he particularly condemns the Antichrist and discloses his every misdeed, denouncing him publicly without hesitation, and thus he will be persecuted by the Antichrist's followers ....

Yet he will comfort those who have to suffer under his rule. He will draw their attention to My coming and everyone will believe him because My Word makes them feel as if I have spoken to them Myself .... His words will have a soothing effect on you, who fearfully and anxiously await the things to come .... you will draw fresh strength from his words and time and again feel invigorated by them because he demonstrates that your Father has spoken to you Himself and that you thus can believe My Words which refer you to My imminent coming in the clouds. And thus you will also observe all warnings and admonitions from him, for he will also be in spirit with those whom I make known to him as belonging to Me .... He will have the ability to be close to you even if his body is elsewhere, for I will pass on your heartfelt call to Me for help, and he will be willing to help. That is why I say: You will recognise him when he begins his mission, but don't expect him quite yet, for My intervention has to take place before his appearance .... But then time will fly, because for the sake of My Own I will shorten the days so that My adversary will not succeed in making them fall, for there will be severe adversity and thus I will also send you powerful spirits of light to protect you in every earthly and spiritual crisis. Yet when this voice of Mine in the wilderness has to sacrifice his life you can expect My coming every day, then I will come and take you into a kingdom of peace and all tribulation will have come to an end ....

The end will come for certain ....

B.D. 9008 from July 4th 1965, taken from Book No. 94

Every large disaster will also be preceded by My announcements, I will warn and admonish people, therefore I need seers and prophets who shall spread these announcements among people .... Therefore it is wrong to reject all prophesies or to portray them as being untrue, even if they do not immediately come to pass, for everything will happen at the right time, and often I have announced the coming event long in advance, but no-one granted these Words any credence. And therefore I also announce and always have announced the end of an earth period in advance, so that even My disciples expected this end during their lifetime on earth. Nevertheless, I have always worded My prophesies such that no specific time was given to people, that they in fact could always expect it, because it has indeed always been My intention to bring their near end home to them .... Yet time does not stand still, and since My Word will inevitably come true this announced end will certainly have to happen one day .... Anyone who knows My eternal plan of Salvation also recognises the necessity for an end of all spiritual substances still bound in creations .... For since he is aware of the spirits' constant progression of development, it is also clear to him that from time to time .... which is infinitely long for you .... a total transformation of the earth's surface must take place so that the spiritual substance bound in hard matter may also have the opportunity to develop further .... If people find such a huge destruction of the earth's surface questionable then they have been left in ignorance by the world of spirits who instructed them .... In that case I must correct such errors, for it is precisely the forthcoming end of the earth in its present form that is extremely significant for the whole of the human race, after all, it is in danger of entirely failing its final test of will and will have to endure a dreadful fate again.

For this reason My servants are instructed to announce this end, but not only to report the fact of the end, instead, I substantiate everything too, so that people shall not only believe blindly and be able to receive as well as to give a correct and truthful explanation for everything. My love belongs to all fallen spirits, not only to the human being .... And the hour of freedom from the hardest constraint must, sooner or later, also come, especially for the spiritual substance still bound in matter, which has already languished for an infinitely long time, in order to be placed into a lighter form in which its being of service will be easier .... And if you humans have knowledge of anything, if the Father Himself instructs you from above, then you truly need not doubt, you can accept everything as purest truth, even if I still prolong the time before this act of destruction of the old earth .... Nevertheless, the day will come without fail .... Sadly, there are far too many people who do not believe in a total transformation of the earth's surface, who grant credence to accounts of people or also spiritual beings who lack all knowledge of My plan of Salvation. Yet I cannot do more than speak to you humans from above and explain what motivates My reign and activity and must leave it up to you as to how you regard My Word. Even so, it is not easy for My servants on earth that people will accept this Word as 'My Word', especially when it concerns the correction of errors, when every person believes that they know the truth and 'My Word' means no more to him than a human word or words from the spirit world .... which is unverifiable until I Myself Am called upon for support so that you will truly only be instructed by beings of light through which the outpouring of My spirit can flow .... In that case, however, all results will correspond; you will feel the truth .... providing you seriously desire the truth ....

The human being’s true home ....

B.D. 9009 from July 6th 1965, taken from Book No. 94

Do not be offended if My Word is also rejected as incorrect, because pure truth can only emanate from Me Myself. And that you are taught by Me Myself can be easily established as soon as people of good will have scrutinised the spiritual information they received from you. Although it is not possible to provide any evidence because people are completely unfamiliar with the spiritual information which, for reasons of religious liberty, cannot be reinforced by proof but everyone of goodwill can feel the certainty within himself to be on the right path. Thus he is also able to believe without proof, and yet he will know that what he believes is right .... However, this world and the spiritual kingdom are two entirely different realms which are only connected to each other through faith. Nevertheless, when you receive the kind of knowledge from the spiritual kingdom which cannot be gained intellectually, you humans can accept it without hesitation as a sign of the reality of this realm, because regions are made accessible to you which only I Myself can truthfully explain to you ....

Hence it is not a sign of a keen intellect if a person wants to deny this kingdom just because he himself does not know anything about it. But every human being could acquire this evidence of a spiritual world if he would ask Me for it, although he is usually prevented from doing so by his intellect which only wants to know what can be verified. And therefore he cannot go beyond the boundaries of his intellect, he creates his own limitations, namely by his unbelief which prevents him to think about anything beyond the earthly realm, to seriously think about problems which cannot be solved, in order to then ask the Creator Himself for an explanation. However, because he has to believe in a Creator in order to do this, only the devout person will be able to establish contact with Him, and the unbeliever will remain content with the world he can see and which is the real world to him. Yet consider the results a person could gain were he, apart from his keen intellect, also deeply devout, who would turn to Me with every question which I would duly answer .... But there are only a few of them, most people shun such contact with the spiritual kingdom since their fellow human beings would then regard them as supernatural people who do not fit into the structure of the earthly world.

And yet, if only you knew how beneficial the work of such people can be, how important the knowledge is which they receive from above, you would do anything to benefit from their knowledge since it is the path that leads you humans from the earthly into the spiritual kingdom .... which is every person’s true home and which one day will receive you all, irrespective of whether you are fully mature or not. I Myself offer you an incredible blessing by speaking to you in order to unite these two realms, in order to give all people the opportunity to take the step from the earthly into the spiritual kingdom, and you reject this blessing because your intellect opposes it, because you do not want to let your heart speak .... However, your heart cannot speak to you because you lack love .... For this reason you are constantly reminded to love, because only your love for Me and your fellow human being can soften your heart and you become more willing to listen to Me. I only ever just ask for your love in order to then give you knowledge which would surpass your intellect, which would make you truly happy. Because taking a glimpse into spheres which are otherwise closed to mortals will please every person and provide him with the tranquil joy of a knower who no longer walks in darkness but to whom everything has become light and clear ....

And especially the fact that people are able to elevate their thoughts into previously unknown spheres should convince you of the truth of such knowledge. Hence you should acquire this knowledge for yourselves, always remembering that you yourselves will inhabit this kingdom one day, that you are merely temporarily living on earth and sooner or later will enter your true home. Then you will establish the relationship with Me again, Who followed you into the abyss, Who waited until you, as human beings, were able to consciously unite with Me again, in order to then make you happy once more by giving you the knowledge which previously used to belong to you in great measure .... But then you will not be far from your final homecoming, you will return into your Father’s house which you once left voluntarily ....

Recognition and admission of guilt ....

B.D. 9010 from July 7th 1965, taken from Book No. 94

It is also of crucial importance for you humans that you recognise and profess your guilt in order to become free from it through Jesus Christ, the divine Redeemer, Who died for it on your behalf on the cross .... For the admission of the fact that you had become guilty must precede the will of allowing yourselves to be redeemed, because then you will consciously strive for returning to your Father's house. Sooner or later you will have to realise that you once sinned against God Himself and then also seriously desire to become released from this immense guilt, which forms the basis of your existence as human beings on earth. And if you then consciously carry this guilt under the cross, it will also be forgiven as well as all guilt you accumulated on earth when you were still without knowledge of the divine Redeemer's significance for the human race. However, a mere avowal with your mouth is not enough, mere conventional faith in Him is not sufficient, you must be completely conscious of what Jesus, the human being, had done for you, that He suffered and died on your behalf, on behalf of your guilt of sin, in order to offer the sacrifice of atonement to God, without which you would have been unable to enter the kingdom of light. Only then will it be a living faith and this alone is valued by God, your Father of eternity .... For only then will you also recognise your past guilt, and you will admit to your own fault and appeal for forgiveness .... This alone is the task you ought to fulfil on earth but which you will only accomplish when love has taken possession of you, for an entirely heartless person does not entertain such thoughts. He is unable to believe and thus his life is a standstill, he does not live up to the actual purpose of changing himself again into what he had been in the beginning, for he will enter the kingdom of the beyond burdened by his original sin and cannot be released from it until he finds Jesus Christ, Who will certainly approach Him over there but He will leave it up to his freedom of will as to whether or not he will accept Him ....

For this reason you are constantly given a light in regards to this, yet only rarely can open hearts and ears be found which are grateful for this light, the majority of people are unaware of any wrongdoing, they don't investigate the reason for their existence and live their lives indifferently, only desiring that which pleases their earthly body. They neither think deeply nor do they live a life of love of their own accord, otherwise they would gradually come to the right realisation .... And time flies .... It is getting ever shorter, for the end is close at hand .... God Himself can only make a small and disappearing proportion aware of the significance of the act of Salvation, for it is precisely the act of Salvation which is disputed almost everywhere in the world, and even where it is emphasised it is merely a matter of conventional faith which leaves much to be desired, where a redemption through Him is indeed spoken of but barely being made use of by consciously realising and confessing guilt, but only this can result in redemption. People don't know that they need to use their own will, they think that they need only profess with their mouth in order to receive forgiveness of sin, but this cannot be valued by God .... instead, the human being must completely consciously and of his own free will hand himself over to the divine Redeemer .... Only then can the act of Salvation take effect on him. However, as long people only accept the information with their ears without involvement of their heart, they cannot count on the redemption of their original sin. Consequently, the work of those who try to exert a living influence on their fellow human beings, by mainly admonishing them to love in order to enable their understanding of the great act of Salvation, will always be blessed. And all those capable of a living faith will be redeemed from their guilt, for love gives light which will shine ever more brightly because they had found redemption from their immense guilt. Yet all people must be clear of the fact that there is no path to God without Jesus Christ, since only One was able to redeem this immense guilt but He also wants to be consciously called upon for forgiveness in order to distribute unlimited bliss, for God and Jesus Christ are one .... The great secret precisely rests in the fact that you acknowledge God again in Jesus Christ, Whom you once denied your acknowledgment and thereby fell into the abyss .... This was your immense sin which made you guilty and which Jesus Christ redeemed for you ....

Amen

The resistance reduces the power of love radiation ....

B.D. 9011 from July 8th 1965, taken from Book No. 94

Not the slightest resistance is allowed to oppose My illumination of love, otherwise it cannot become effective with you. And so you will also understand that you must give yourselves to Me completely free, because all compulsion switches off, and that is why therefore first your will is, which must bend to Me, but then I can take possession of you, and I truly no longer let you from Me. It is about your will, but about which also My opponent fights with all cunning and deceit. But you will always recognize him because he only lures you with earthly goods, because he will bring no spiritual goods to you, which you can only receive from Me. When such thoughts now surround you, which always only bind you to the earthly world, then you are in his power. But if you devote yourselves to thoughts which obviously have Me Myself as source, and if you follow these, then you will be led away from the earthly world, because I want that you connect yourselves with Me exactly through good thoughts or an intimate prayer, to now be able to draw yourselves to Me, to give you what is food for your soul, that it receives what it needs to mature. Then you will truly receive food and drink, for this is My illumination of love, which is certain for you if you devote yourselves to Me of your own free will, if you open your heart to Me and want to receive My illumination of love .... But this always requires conscious voluntary devotion to Me .... But then you can no longer get lost, then you return to Me again, where once your start was. Only one thing you must not forget that My love cannot become effective when you yourselves resist it, when you only offer Me the slightest resistance, and resistance it already is when still earthly things entice, when you put Me back for the sake of these and I do not stand in the first place, when you give priority to earthly things and I then no longer find entrance alone in your heart. The world has many dangers in it, which you do not recognize as such, but which always draw man away from spiritual striving. And these dangers he is to avoid, if he wants to belong to Me completely, because I truly give him more beautiful and better, which outweighs all things of the world, but which only I Myself can hand out to the ones who are Mine, to those who belong to Me completely and are prepared to give everything to Me .... And these will also win the victory over all others in the end, for then they will have to pass the greatest test of faith to Me and yet need not be defeated, for I Myself will stand by them in the final battle on this earth .... So much will certainly be demanded of them, and still they need to fear nothing, because likewise much power will be given to them, because they have completely overcome the world, and where then shall the opponent still use his arts of seduction? He can no longer pull them down to the deep because then he would have to fight against Me Myself, but Me he flees and therefore also you, who are Mine. And that is why I always only want that you give Me your will out of the heart, that there is nothing else for you than that you always only stay with Me in thoughts, that My love illumination can become effective and that you unite yourselves intimately with Me. Then I will have won you, then you will have re-entered the original relationship in which you stood in the beginning .... I only want one thing, that you again press towards Me as once, that your hearts open, into which I now can let My love flow again. And in order to achieve this you have to give up everything that connects you with the world, but you are allowed to enjoy what I Myself send to you, just do not lose yourselves to earthly goods, which are always just the means of the adversary who wants to ruin you ....

The marvel of divine creation ....

B.D. 9012 from July 10th 1965, taken from Book No. 94

Everything that makes itself known to you through creation proves My power, My wisdom and My love .... But only when you think about it will you become aware of what miracles take place around you every day, otherwise you pass by completely indifferent. But countless proofs inform every thoughtful person that a supremely perfect being exists, Which guides and governs everything in love and wisdom, Which takes care of the preservation of that which has emerged from His hand .... And therefore man can recognize Me, and he also has to acknowledge Me as existing, for he cannot deny that creation must have emerged from a power Which rules in supreme wisdom and deepest love, Which gave everything It created a purpose .... But he must also recognize that this creation has come into being for the sake of man alone, and therefore also conclude that man is more than just a being, which only exists for a time, to then again pass away into nothingness. My whole creation would have to give him this knowledge, and he will also get it, as soon as he just once occupies himself thoroughly with it. Then I truly direct his thoughts so that they come close to truth. For this is the real purpose of creation, that man .... who is endowed with intellect and free will .... in thought that everything he sees gives him food for thought .... for it is not for nothing that I gave him the ability to think .... because precisely the direction of thought can also determine the right direction of his will, which alone is decisive for his earthly life as well as for his further fate. Because that man is basically immortal, that he will then also recognize, because he learns to see himself as the centre of the whole creation, which serves him for perfection. For he is the only thinking being which has free will, whereas all creations .... even the animal world .... can neither think nor want, only has a weak adaptation to it as a natural instinct, which the creature is not aware of. And this thinking being is now also to use the intellect to think about it and everything will reveal itself to it as the greatest proof of divine love and wisdom. Because I created the whole world with all visible and invisible creations only for you men that you again can reach perfection. But that you first have to know about it, that alone your will can bring about, because without the will you do not think about it, and the whole work of creation leaves you untouched. And still you are surrounded by so many miracle works, by works, which you are not able to create yourselves, which you would have to recognize as the work of a thinking power, Which Itself has a will, which testifies to love and wisdom. And you go your way of life in indifference there, where you would always only have to praise and extol the creator of that, Who has put you into this world, alone only for the reason that you can complete yourselves again. For you will have to realize that you do not pass through this world in vain, that you .... like all the creations around you have to fulfil a purpose .... also live in this creation for a purpose and that you will only learn about this purpose of earthly life if your will is willing to experience it. Then also enlightenment will reach you, and then your will alone will still be determining whether you reach the aim, which is meaning and purpose of your earth life. But no light can be given to the blindly walking in, because also this My wisdom has well considered, that no man is allowed to be forced to his change of will, that he must decide completely free, but for that reason the miracle work of My creation is again and again put before his eyes, and as soon as he thinks about it, his will can become active of its own accord, and then he will also reach his aim ....

Which messages guarantee the truth ....

B.D. 9013 from July 12th 1965, taken from Book No. 94

Even with My immense love I cannot accept you into My kingdom as long as you still oppose Jesus Christ's act of Salvation, since thereby you close the gate into the kingdom of light yourselves, of which Jesus Christ alone is the gate. By rejecting Him you also reject Me, since He and I are one. Only when you understand that I .... the infinite Spirit of Eternity .... became visible to you in Him will My love be able to make you happy again, for only then will you acknowledge Me in Him, your past sin of apostasy from Me can then be forgiven and you will allow yourselves to be illuminated by My strength of love again as in the beginning .... The fact that you humans lack the understanding for precisely this great act of compassion by Jesus Christ is also an indication of the forthcoming end, for the adversary has done his job well .... He has succeeded in spreading an impenetrable veil particularly across My human manifestation, for he wants to prevent you from becoming redeemed, and therefore the time has come to put an end to his activity.

All over the world spiritual movements become apparent which deviate from the truth, for the adversary also asserts his influence from the beyond over people in order to mislead them. And many people give credence to all these messages because they originate from the spiritual realm .... But the fact that My adversary can even there still exert his influence on beings who spread untruth and try to transfer it to people on earth, and often also take the opportunity to irritate people, is again due to the fact that they do not turn to Me for truthful clarification .... And therefore I can only ever say: Don't believe messages which do not emphasise Jesus Christ's act of Salvation, for they are misguided, even if they contain partial truths .... But especially the redemption through Jesus Christ is of such importance that you can thereby judge the credibility of the received messages, and you should not be content with information which does not completely convince you, precisely because the most important information .... the information which guarantees your entrance into the kingdom of light .... is withheld from you.

But how can you decide what is truth and what is error if you are not instructed by the One Who knows everything and can also truthfully explain it to you? Even the activity from the kingdom of the beyond towards the people of this earth cannot be prevented by Me due to people's free will, but time and again I inform them Myself of the right way to attain the pure truth .... Yet even this working of My spirit in the human being is only the result of the prior redemption through Jesus Christ. And for this reason My adversary exerts great power from the beyond as well, because he repeatedly thwarts this 'redemption' and keeps people in the dark about the true nature of Jesus, because he wants to stop them by every means from finding redemption through Him while they are still on earth, and therefore also influences those beings who have always resented the thought of redemption and who thus also convey misguided teachings to earth. The fact that I, at all times, endeavour to uncover this error through beings of light .... that I repeatedly also transmit the pure truth to people through them, is used by you as an opportunity to merge such truthful explanations with wrong spiritual information. And because you lack the ability to differentiate it is frequently possible for true messages from the kingdom of light to be amongst wrong teachings which, in turn, make the recipient doubt the credibility of all messages.

Yet one thing is a definite characteristic of wrong information: the fact that My human manifestation in Jesus and My act of Salvation is not mentioned or even disputed .... And thereby you can always measure the truth, for a truly spiritually awakened person knows what to make of that, for people are being deliberately mislead, and then the value of the light beings' proclamation is reduced, since they can not prevail because people lack the desire for pure truth .... In that case Jesus Christ's act of Salvation truly would have been comprehensively explained to them, which would also have stopped the adversary's activity .... For the fault rests with the human being himself if he believes all messages from the spiritual realm just because they have originated from there, but doesn't know that the adversary is still able to exercise his power even there and only the will to be protected from error can prevent him from it. Then he will be unable to impart wrong messages, for the desire for pure truth also guarantees its receipt.

And this is what you have to know, then you can confidently believe the Words which are conveyed to you by My spirit, for I Am the Eternal Truth and only pure truth can come forth from Me .... But this is characterised by the element of Jesus Christ's act of Salvation, and only those who believe this will never be able to err again, for the Eternal Truth has made Itself available to him, it has revealed Itself to him and guided him into truth as It had been promised to you ....

Amen

Appeals for a gift of strength for the souls of the deceased ....

B.D. 9014 from July 13th 1965, taken from Book No. 94

Whenever you can't help but think of a departed person you should know it is always an appeal for help which you should provide since no one else is taking care of them. And when they see your light they, too, would like to gather around you and draw strength from this light, for they often don't know the meaning of this light, especially if they were caught up in error until now. Then it will suffice to send just one thought to the soul inviting it to join you and accept a lesson. For especially the souls which are not followed by loving intercession suffer much hardship and they, too, shall be helped to come into the possession of truth. Just one conscious invitation to take part in your instructions is already enough to attract the souls permanently, with the result that they will not leave you anymore, that they will join the large group of those whom I will then be able to address Myself. And you will be constantly surrounded by souls wanting to increase their knowledge in order to pass it on to those who are less knowledgeable and whom they want to help as well. And then it will be essential that you inform them of My act of Salvation, for only when they have found Him and deliverance from their guilt will they accept profound knowledge. This first necessitates their activity of love, as they will only be able to understand it if they employ their will to love again in order to help souls which are suffering the same hardship. Only then will they themselves penetrate the truth ever more, and they will find it easy to hand themselves over to the divine Redeemer and appeal to Him for forgiveness of their guilt. Then, however, will the divine Word constantly flow to them and they will also accept it, irrespective of where and how it is offered to them. Yet especially the first step is very difficult for the soul until it has experienced the strength of intercession, which will express itself as a change of will and thus it is easier to influence, so that the soul will also comply when it receives its calling.

Therefore pay attention to every such request and offer assistance to the souls which desire help, which indeed remind many people on earth of themselves yet will only find intercession with those who are able to help them spiritually because they are in conscious contact with Me and I Am able to reveal Myself to them. And the fact that the strength of My Word is tremendously effective may be experienced by every soul once it has joined you, for its progress will be guaranteed ....

Once I Am offered the opportunity to reveal Myself to a person through the working of My spirit, this person will stand amid a gleam of light which will attract many souls willing to accept the same as you have been offered, and due to you all souls which you include in your intercession will then no longer be able to go astray. For then you will only be motivated by love for these souls, and for the sake of this love I will also give strength to those on whose behalf you pray. I also have to apply the laws in the beyond and these first and foremost include the being's free will which may not be infringed upon, neither by Myself nor by My adversary.

Therefore it matters that you .... who also have to respect free will, lovingly remember the souls which are still weak-willed but unable to resist the strength of intercession and whose will you are therefore able to influence. Since they were beneficially affected by the strength of love they will no longer resist and be irresistibly drawn to you so that you then will also be able to convey the Gospel of love to them.

If only you knew how ardently your adherents (the souls) accept My Word, how they constantly feel that they are progressing, and how grateful they are to you that you, due to your intercession, helped them to participate in your instructions, you would not stop praying for such souls and even be pleased with their progress, for they, too, will protect you whenever possible, to prevent the receiving of the Word being interrupted .... you will also purify your surroundings, so that no one will become subject to the adversary's temptations as soon as they surround you. Precisely this makes your activity so important, since it enables you to contribute towards the redemption of many souls by offering them bread and wine, thus the delectable elixir of life and the most effective nourishment, and one day you will feel the inner joy of having been able to contribute towards the ascent of those who, without your help, would still have languished in darkness for a very long time ....

Therefore take notice of every thought which reminds you of someone deceased, consider it a call for help which you must not reject, and then consciously call him close to you and the first step up will have been taken, for as soon as a person intercedes on behalf of such a soul, I will also be able to grant strength to the soul for the sake of this person .... which otherwise would not be possible for Me since it contradicts the law of eternity, as only free will can request strength, but which I now recognise in the loving intercession and thus grant My mercy to this soul and then will also be able to provide it with the grace of My Word through you.

People would be able to redeem all souls through loving intercession, but how few are aware of this and how great is therefore My adversary's power who will try anything to disrupt such contacts from the spiritual world to earth, but who will be unable to take effect if a human being hands himself over to Me with love and thus I will also protect him .... especially if I want to speak through him to the souls in the beyond, which My adversary will never be able to prevent Me from doing .... For where the will for redemption exists people will be delivered from the one who had held them captive long enough and whose only weapon is love which will defeat him and from which he takes flight .... because it is and will remain My share for eternity ....

Amen

Pre-Adamites ....

B.D. 9015 from July 15th 1965, taken from Book No. 94

Long before the first human beings lived on earth, who were equipped by God with free will and intellect, human-like living creations whose task it was to make the earth habitable for the succeeding human race already existed. They did their work instinctively, i.e. driven by natural law .... in order to sustain themselves, they gathered fruit, harvested field products and built dwellings for themselves .... they did everything which instinctively was of benefit to them.

Yet they could not be held accountable for their actions, for they were not yet embodied by a soul which contained all the minute particles of a fallen original spirit. These beings were already very much like human beings, they had the same bodily form, yet they were neither self-aware nor able to communicate with each other, only their desire for self-preservation was strong and they often lived to a great age. In a manner of speaking they were of service to creation by contributing towards changing the earth's surface which became ever better prepared as a suitable abode for the needs of human beings. However, these beings were not yet given a task, they merely served the still imperfect original spirits as a final opportunity to mature, which they then were to continue as a human being with free will and intellect.

Hence these prehistoric people .... the Pre-Adamites .... could not be considered real 'human beings', for their nature, their appearance and their every activity was more in line with an animal, which is still far behind in its development, only the form was similar to a human being. This is why later people named these living creations prehistoric-man, but which could not be compared to the human being in possession of free will and awareness, which he was also meant to use intellectually in the right manner. Nor can it be said that the human being evolved from this Pre-Adamite, since the human being was a new creation which God only externalised after many of the first original spirits awaited their embodiment. The prehistoric being was one of many creations which all had to serve their purpose of preparing an abode for the later appearing human being that would guarantee him a carefree earthly life. The Pre-Adamites were those human-like beings which could not be held responsible because they lived instinctively, like animals .... who lived on earth long before human beings .... who were not self-aware and could only live in groups .... who thus could only be found where human beings would later settle, for whom they prepared the specific area with their consistent activity. This was the beings' innate characteristic and expressed itself by cultivating large areas of fields, by systematically sowing essential substances and by harvesting such stretches of land .... They did this entirely unconsciously, resulting from a natural instinct of self-preservation .... They fought each other and the stronger won. And thus they also contributed to the fact that constantly new spiritual beings incarnated themselves, if only for a brief period of time, to prove their strength, when more or less strong impulses asserted themselves which gradually weakened the longer they lived and then also slowly attained the maturity which enabled them to enter their final embodiment as a human being.

Thus human-like beings had already existed long before the first human beings, but they cannot in any way be related to the real human beings. They were comparable to them in their external shape but they existed like animals .... in their instincts as well as in their manner of procreation, which evolved in line with their soul-substances, and were one of the many works of creations which disappeared again after they had completed their earthly task, thus the beings no longer required such creations, and they subsequently became extinct like so many creations which earth had sheltered for a while in order to make place for new creations ....

But it cannot be said that the modern human being evolved from these prehistoric creations, rather, he was and is a new creation, endowed with free will and intellect, which then had to prove itself, thus he also received his self-awareness again. To what degree the Pre-Adamites could also use a certain amount of intelligence merely depended on the degree of maturity of their embodied soul-particles which, however, were unable to think and only expressed their intelligence through their active work, thus unconsciously .... This activity nevertheless produced the greatest works of wonder, as can often be seen in nature that paths were created for these beings to reach one another, that they created gorges and underground passages and thus created the first prerequisites for the human race so that the latter could then live the right kind of life when the time had come for the first original spirits to embody themselves as human beings .... The more people spread, (original spirits awaited embodiment), the more the prehistoric beings began to disappear which, however, only ever happened in stages, until the human race began to populate the earth and their probationary period began, when every once fallen original spirit had to prove itself, and therefore the human being has to be equipped with self-awareness, intellect and free will in order to travel the path across earth which will lead him again to the Father from Whom he once originated.

Time estimation not possible for people ....

B.D. 9016 from July 16th 1965, taken from Book No. 94

I will always avoid allowing you to feel abandoned by Me, for you shall turn to Me with all your needs and cares and you will always receive an answer, because I know what troubles you and I Am always willing to take them from you if you trustingly hand them over to Me .... You need not worry in the slightest for I will think on your behalf, I know what bothers you and what questions come to your mind ....

Infinitely long periods have passed during which people already inhabited the earth, for the estimation of time you deduce from the Book of the Fathers is only warranted insofar as it shows the respective spiritual state of the people at the time, but that humanity inhabited the earth for an extremely long time already .... that only those happenings were recorded for their orientation which were of significance for humanity's development .... but that it is no longer possible to determine the duration of these times, you would never come to the right conclusion. However, this much is certain, that although many earthly periods have passed by already, the human being is still the same creation today that he was then .... that he was able to use his intellect from the start and that he was always troubled by the same problems which still bother people today, as far as they concerned the reason and purpose of their existence. For the gift to contemplate such things was given by Me to people from the start. Even in those days people discovered signs of pre-historic creatures already although they did not acknowledge them as their own kind since they differed considerably, and the first people knew that people like themselves had not existed before them, for they recognised themselves as a new creation, they knew that their existence had started an act of creation which had not happened before ....

They knew that they were able to talk to each other and that it was possible for every created human being to communicate with his fellow human beings. Besides, pre-historic beings were not known to them, nor did they know all the pre-historic creations they had to pass through themselves before they were allowed to embody themselves as human beings. Yet at no time have pre-Adamites lived together with people on earth, because they became extinct before people appeared on earth. Coexistence could never have taken place because it did not correspond to My plan of eternity, which could not have created something imperfect at a time when the perfect human being should prove himself as the crowning glory of creation. For the human being was unconscious of all pre-historic creations, he did not know his long process through the works of creation on earth, and thus as a new creation he had to be perfect and capable of receiving a soul, because the human being started a completely new path on earth with the goal of final unification with Me. The fact that the human being, due to his own fault, failed to reach this final union is not related to the process through the previous stages, for every soul which is permitted to embody itself as a human being one day has also reached the degree of maturity which allows for such an embodiment.

But it is impossible for people to establish the precise duration of humanity's existence on earth, nor will they receive clarifications in that respect because it is irrelevant how long people have lived on earth already, and by the same token it cannot be established when those pre-historic people lived. However, it is certain that they preceded the human being, that ages ago they dwelled everywhere as a creation which likewise served the maturing of innumerable tiny particles of soul, and thus they also contributed towards the higher development of these tiny particles which subsequently were allowed to embody themselves in a human being again. You humans can no longer establish it timing-wise, nor will it be possible for you, you can estimate an approximate period but will never know as to whether it is correct, for every single human being's live-span is limited. My creation, however, has existed for eternities, which will indeed remain eternities for you until you reach the light one day .... Then you will know that even the concept of eternity is but a fleeting moment for Me ....

Amen

Sincerely pursue the thought of redemption through Jesus ....

B.D. 9017 from July 17th 1965, taken from Book No. 94

It is of great importance for you humans to know how very significant your earthly life is for you, and what task is expected of everyone, so that you use the short time well which you still live on earth, for one day you will have to be answerable for it .... Then you will consider the information about untimely things less significant, for you will gain this knowledge in an instant when your degree of love has reached the level which guarantees you true knowledge about everything. And thus you should only ever strive to raise your degree of love, so that brightest realisation will embrace you when you enter the kingdom of the beyond. Then you will also be able to understand the process of creation, for then you will no longer be subject to the law of space and time, you will be able to observe everything that has ever taken place for the sake of My living creations' return .... but then you will also know about the meaning and purpose of all My creations and nothing will be hidden from you anymore.

Thus you will also know that it was of utmost significance for you humans that I descended to earth Myself in order to accomplish the act of compassion in the human shell of Jesus, without which all your knowledge would be worthless, for then you would be eternally lost, even if you knew everything .... For only the information of My descent to earth, of My path to the cross and the sacrifice of atonement is needed by you to be delivered from the immense original sin, for the sake of which I let all of creation emerge. And if you then pursue the thought of redemption with all sincerity on earth, if you take your path to Me in Jesus, then this immense original sin will also be remitted to you, and My work of creation will become brightly and clearly visible to you, and what is still mysterious to you as human beings will resolve itself in a most amazing way. I only require your heartfelt bond with Me in order to be able to make you happy with My illumination of love which then, however, will also guarantee you complete insight regarding questions relating to all past occurrences. For nothing in My creation is without meaning and purpose, but you cannot always know the latter, especially if it concerns creations which are incomprehensible to you because you don't know their real function. But the fact that every work of creation has a destined purpose or it would not have been created by Me should be obvious to you as well, you just don't know what task every single work of creation has to accomplish, yet one day it will become plain and obvious to you.

For this reason you should first and foremost acquire the true information about the great act of compassion which I Myself accomplished in the human being Jesus, and try to become a partaker in the treasure of grace which I acquired as the human being Jesus on your behalf .... Then you will surely gain far deeper insight into all the secrets which My creation still conceals from you than you can attain through merely informing yourselves about all My creations .... For you only have to be free from your original sin in order to then also be able to brightly and clearly recognise everything, in order to be able to place yourselves retrospectively into all creations again, which is certainly possible for you in the state of perfection, yet only in order to increase your knowledge about the destined purpose of every external form. And you will blissfully behold these creations which served you to assist your higher development, and one day it will also be clear to you that every work of creation only ever testifies to My never-ending love for the fallen spirits, for only I know which external shape is suitable for the soul to reach full maturity. One day you, too, will be able to understand it, and this is why you should endeavour on earth to acquire a high degree of love and desire less information, for intellectual knowledge is not a substitute for a loving heart. But this, in turn, will reveal to you full knowledge when you have entered the kingdom of light and unresolved problems no longer exist for you ....

Amen

Sparks of light lure souls out of darkness ....

B.D. 9018 from July 18th 1965, taken from Book No. 94

My love is also meant for the souls in darkness, and I constantly try to have an effect on them, to soothe their thoughts and again and again turn them towards Me, because also in the deep the cross occasionally shines, but is only perceived by those whose senses are already soothed, who are in lethargy of spirit, who therefore also feel touched by the cross of Christ, indeed also only so far that they are not forced to take a stand .... Only the cross will be a sign for them, which they remember, and according to the impression of it their state can change. As soon as a soul falls into this lethargic state there is also the hope for it that it will finally come to its senses and want to leave the place which was its abode for a long time .... that it longs for a change, for a ray of light which may break through the darkness .... And then it is also again and again illuminated by sparks of light, it feels these sparks of light as invitation to follow them, and so slowly comes up, it gets into a circle of seeking souls, which all follow the light, where now also such is carried to them .... They are called upon to help and also do not refuse such because finally a work is assigned to them, which they gladly comply with. But now they also feel help themselves through this help; they feel the power of love, which they turn towards those seeking help, and at the same time they also receive instructions why they themselves can feel that feeling, and therefore they are stimulated to constant help, to thereby also find own help in their trouble. And it is certainly the fewest who return to their old surroundings, who then just did not yet have the earnest will to reach up out of the deep. But once the cross has become visible to these souls then it will not be difficult to also point out to them the importance of that what both the light beings, which dwell unrecognized among them, as well as man can do through the preaching of the gospel to these souls and they are also heard by them, for their resistance is broken, they can only still sink back into the old lethargy, but to rise up from it again and again when it is necessary to help those who are still worse off and thus all these souls help themselves when the will is willing to help. It is always only the beginning very difficult to get the souls to turn their thoughts not only towards themselves, that they are caused to lend a hand themselves .... but when this is achieved, then every soul rises unceasingly upwards, because with the help given to it by Me also its power rises, and it then cannot help but want to help .... And so the releasing from the deep alone is the most difficult work, but which strongly supports every intercession for such souls, so that more and more souls calm down, that their state is no longer an eternal fight, that the soul separates itself from its surroundings and slowly thinks of itself. Because no man on earth makes intercession for these souls in vain. And the souls also notice that help is given to them from one side, and they do not defend themselves against it, and therefore it also detaches itself more and more from its surroundings, until it then follows the sparks of light, which lead it out. Only rarely does a soul ask for help again, and that only when it is not prepared to help, that it therefore also does not feel the power, which it receives through it itself. Then it certainly takes a considerable time until it nevertheless changes its will and again makes the attempt to ascend out of the deep. These souls are in no way abandoned, they merely prolong their stay in the abyss through their resistance, which can nevertheless be broken precisely through intercession in love. And if only every man would remember such an unhappy spirit in love, then all would already be redeemed, because love is the strongest power, which no being can permanently resist. But how many men on earth think of also giving their intercession to those who are unhappy in the true sense of the word, who therefore can only be redeemed through love? But again and again also light beings descend and present their situation to them, asking them to follow them, because everywhere there are places where they can be helped further, if only the being once has given up resistance. Because My constant care is meant for those souls so that they are not banished again into matter. And that is why exactly before the end of a redemption period a great redeemer work starts, both on earth, as well as in the kingdom on the other side, to help as many souls as possible up out of the deep, so that they do not need to walk the course over earth again, and every soul, which just has the smallest little love spark in it, will be rescued ....

Amen

First Corinthians, 2-10 ....

B.D. 9019 from July 19th 1965, taken from Book No. 94

It is the spirit out of God, who introduces you into the deepest depths of the divinity, into His eternally unfathomable nature, but Who also reveals to you at the same time that no being is able to fathom Him completely, even if He allows him insight into His rule and work in infinity, if He would like to initiate His children into the greatest secrets of His nature .... But these will remain a secret until all eternity. But He reveals Himself to His children, i.e., as far as they are receptive He can illuminate them with His love .... This means that in His child a light shines, which is so bright that nothing remains hidden, what could give you information about your relationship to Him from the beginning. Inexhaustible is the knowledge, which you can receive, and still you will not be able to grasp His nature in eternity, but that what you experience will be enough to make you endless happy. You yourselves can increase the measure of knowledge at any time, because also no limits are set for you, provided that you have become perfect. Then you leave everything limited behind you; your aim will always only be that you become worthy of His love, which again and again wants to shine at you and which you now no longer reject, as you once did. You have now entered into such intimate contact with the divine spirit that you can now also work in His strength .... that it is not you yourselves who work, but God Himself is in you with His spirit; you have united yourselves with Him, and whatever you do now .... it is God Himself Who works every deed in you. Then you are truly His children who want to do nothing else than it is the father's sanctified will, for the same will is also in the child .... He who has reached this maturity can rightly say that he knows about the 'depths of the Godhead', for God Himself has revealed Himself to him. And for him there is now nothing more that is still veiled to him, because God's spirit is in him and thus creates for him this feeling of the divine in him. But then the child has reached highest divinization; then it is eternally no longer to be separated from God, but still remains an individual being, which is exceedingly happy and now also wants to transfer its happiness to other less happy beings. To reach this high aim still during earth life is your task, which you all are to fulfil and also can, which earns you endless happiness, a lot, which no being can rob from you anymore. For once you have entered the kingdom of light you will constantly strive for the highest and most perfect being, and the being will also repay you for this will; It will let Itself be found by you and continue to put you into the state of longing for It and also constantly fulfil your longing. Because the greatest is His love, and He does everything to make His children happy. And to this also belongs that He reveals Himself more and more, that they all can gain insight into His nature and that He still does not reveal Himself completely, because exactly therein lies His happiness to be able to offer more and more to His children, because the measure, which He hands out, is inexhaustible, because there is no limit for Him as well as for everything perfect. That God now pointed out to man through His apostle the 'penetration into the depths of the Godhead' was necessary with the spiritual state of men at the time of His walk on earth, because no man believed in such a bond of God to men that He could reveal Himself to them in His depth. And still it was just the sign of it that the love of God was exceedingly great and that He wanted it that men sought to penetrate into His nature, that He offered Himself to them so that they should feel empowered to get in touch with the spirit out of God to get behind this great secret. He wanted to encourage them not to slacken their efforts to explore His being, even though they did not succeed completely, but He promised them that the 'deepest depths of the divinity' would reveal themselves, and thereby inspired people to establish spiritual contact with the highest and most perfect being .... For what was earthly not possible, that the spirit out of God wanted to teach men, and therefore God gave men a sign when this union was established: when knowledge about the nature of God would be given to men, which indeed could never be made exhaustively comprehensible to them, but was nevertheless regarded as a proof that God revealed Himself as the highest and most perfect being, Which can never be surpassed. And if a man now doubts this, the bible gives him the best proof for it that the spirit out of God reveals to him the deepest things about His being. Because exactly out of the book of books you seek the proofs, but you do not want to accept the most important proof that the 'spirit out of God investigates all things', otherwise you could not oppose the revelations from above with any doubt. You could then also deal with it intellectually, and with good will it would be easy for you to acquire the truth ....

Amen

What fate is the world heading towards ....

B.D. 9020 from July 20th 1965, taken from Book No. 94

If you knew what fate you are heading towards you would not desire the world with all its commodities for even one minute longer. For you will lose them all and have to content yourselves with the small amount that is left to you after hours of extreme adversity and distress. And yet you cannot be spared because the time of the end is near and you shall first dispose of everything that belongs to the world and thus also to the one who is the prince of this world. And as soon as you have the right attitude towards Me, your God and Creator of eternity, your life will also become bearable for you .... But who has this right attitude towards Me? The firm belief that I will help him in every adversity, who entrusts himself to Me completely, and who is willing to surrender his life for the sake of his neighbour? For this will be your fate, that you even voluntarily choose to die in order to save your neighbour's life!

Yet it will not be to your disadvantage, for although you will lose your life on earth you will with certainty gain eternal life, which no one can take away from you again .... Therefore, don't be afraid, regardless of what will happen .... And firmly believe that you will go on living .... and therefore take care that you can leave your earthly life in a state which will lead you to life in eternity. For even life on this earth will come to an end soon afterwards and then the great reckoning will take place .... The gates into the kingdom of the beyond will be closed and only Satan's slaves and My Own will inhabit the earth .... the former will be banished into matter again whilst the living bodies of the latter will be removed by Me in order to populate the reshaped earth. And because I will send warnings and admonitions prior to such disintegrations of earth, the preceding natural disaster must also be viewed as such an omen which, with absolute certainty, will be followed by the end.

I terminate an earthly period because people no longer use their earthly life for the maturing of their souls and I still want to save what can be saved .... For I love all of you, My living creations, I don't want your ruin but your release from the constraint of the one who was responsible for your apostasy. But I cannot induce you against your will to live in accordance with My will and thus to live a way of life which will guarantee you eternal life. I must always give priority to your will and depending on your will so shall be your fate. However, since this time of the occurring judgment has already been planned for eternity you have all had ample opportunity to change so that you need not be counted amongst the victims of this judgment .... Yet you lack belief in it, and thus the end will take you by surprise and find you utterly unprepared. And I can't do anything else but send you a stern warning in advance, a natural disaster of such huge proportions that it will trigger tremendous fear and could make you recognise your God and Creator's solemn voice, yet until the end a human being's fate is determined by his free will, for neither I nor My adversary will use coercion. The adversary, however, will have greater success; nevertheless he will not be able to enjoy it for I will seize what belongs to him from his control again in order to embed it in hard matter, so that he will nevertheless lose strength as higher development continues, which will always also result in beings reaching the light, who escape from him altogether and return into their Father's house from where they once originated ....

Amen

Divine promise to provide for man's earthly welfare ....

B.D. 9021 from July 21st 1965, taken from Book No. 94

Whatever you undertake, it must be a blessing for you, as soon as you make an effort to supply My word to fellowmen. Because this is the most important task, which you can comply with, because it is alone about that you fulfil My will during earth life and that I announce this My will to you through My word from above. Every other activity, no matter how important it may seem to you, is of secondary importance, nevertheless, the soul's attainment of its aim alone is to be taken seriously, for this is the only reason it passes over earth, and this aim is to be regarded as a matter of priority, because everything else it achieves earthly will be taken away from it again through earthly death. When you now take care of your brothers, who are richly blessed by Me with spiritual gifts, then you also fulfil your earth assignment, which consists in the handing out of these spiritual gifts. But exactly this activity of yours is little recognized and put down as useless, because one cannot acquire earthly goods with it. But I have told you: „Seek first the kingdom of God .... all other things will be added to you." And your life on earth is to be in accordance with this saying; you are only to seek to reach Me Myself and My kingdom by all means, and you will have no need .... Earthly and spiritually I truly want to give you everything you need, and I only ever demand of you that you also inform your fellow human beings of My working in and on you. Because when you consider that I have given you earth life as man alone for the sake of the maturing of the soul and that I have given you that promise to take care of your earthly and spiritual welfare Myself, then you could lead an easy earth life, because My promises fulfil themselves to the word. But since there are many unbelievers in your midst you should point them to the visible help I provide for those who serve Me .... you should tell them that My word is truth and has to come true if only the conditions are fulfilled which I have attached to it, that I bring My teachings back to all of you which I expressed at the time of My life on earth, and that I am mainly concerned with the fulfilment of the commandments of love, that you may also make use of My care .... For this alone is your earthly task, that your soul can enter the kingdom of the beyond matured as far as possible, then it will have fulfilled its purpose of earthly life, it will not have lived the endless long state in the preliminary stages in vain and will now have come closer to Me as a human being, as My plan from eternity had intended .... But as long as you don't regard this maturing of the soul as the most important thing, as long as you only worry about earthly things, I Myself cannot take care of you, as I would exceedingly gladly do, if only you would seriously strive for Me and My kingdom .... But how difficult do you make your existence on earth for yourselves? You worry about earthly goods of which you know that they are transient .... But you do not believe My promise that I will also provide you with these goods if only you would take the care for the soul more seriously than that for the body .... And again and again I draw your attention to the fact that it is only about your soul, which you are to bring to Me .... Again and again I explain to you the meaning and purpose of earthly existence, and I announce My will to you, which only consists of shaping yourselves or of changing back to love. To fulfil this truly not difficult commandment is to be your whole earth task, and earthly you will have an easy life and then also be able to enter the kingdom of light, as I have promised it to you. And that I demand of you, My loyal servants, that you explain to men the meaning and purpose of their earth life, that you admonish them to a love life, which will then earn them a visible blessing. For I truly do not neglect a person who is of service to Me, who is constantly active for Me and My kingdom by contributing to the spreading of My word and doing everything I ask of him through it ..... This person will also be able to live his physical life without worries, for it will truly be possible for Me to keep earthly worries away from a person, but only ever if the person also fulfils the preconditions .... And exactly these conditions are the content of your whole earth life to seek Me, so that I can let Myself be found, because I fulfil every such request, since it is spiritually directed and you walk the course over earth for the sake of spiritual maturing. As soon as you are clear about the actual meaning and purpose of life, you will also only pursue the one aim, to help your soul to maturity. But then I will bless you, no matter whether you have come to this realization yourselves or whether you have been instructed by My messengers .... For then you will fulfil all commandments and submit yourselves to My will, then the earthly world will no longer irritate you but you will only strive to be accepted into the kingdom where you will live for eternity ....

Amen

Prehistoric people? ....

B.D. 9022 from July 22nd 1965, taken from Book No. 94

You only need to turn to Me with an appeal to grant you an explanation and I will not hesitate to answer. You don't realise that the act of creation has taken infinitely long periods of time, for you judge by your present concepts to time, whereas the act of creation necessitated eternities, which is rationally impossible for you to understand. Hence you are right in your assumption that the pre-Adamites lived long before the human being .... who was recognized as the true human being due to his self-awareness, intellect and free will. Yet this does not exclude the fact that these human beings had no knowledge of pre-historic people, they knew of their existence but described them as having lived long before themselves. But this only happened after the fall into sin, when I sent beings of light from above amongst people which enlightened them as to their past process through all creations .... Prior to this they had no knowledge of it at all, and thus no idea about these human-like beings because .... wherever people were created .... these beings had become extinct. However, since the growth of human population advanced only slowly .... in keeping with the matured original spirits .... the process of creation continued over a very long time, and thus the earth was not inhabited by people everywhere at once, whereas the pre-Adamites only became extinct when the creation work 'Man' began to appear.

Pre-historic people therefore have never lived with human beings together at the same time, but the human being was created at different times since the conditions on earth, too, varied quite considerably and needed this diversity, because even the original spirits developed differently, which is not quite understandable to you humans yet. It is not as if people were instantly created on earth, instead, everything took place such that one can speak of periodic creation, and every period brought forth such beings until the human being with self-awareness, intellect and free will appeared as the last work of creation. If I now use the term 'at the same time', then I mean the same period of creation which, however, was so long that it cannot be expressed with numbers .... but that these pre-historic beings preceded the real human being because no concept of time exists for Me and to Me a thousand years are like a day. And the whole act of creation took so long that people can no longer determine the length of time, only the fact that everything developed, from matter to the mineral and plant world .... through the animal kingdom up to the human being, but that I also always created a new external shape for the tiny particles of soul as they developed further.

Hence, the expression 'they developed into the next being' only relates to spiritual development, yet every external shape was a new creation which always vanished again once it had completely fulfilled its purpose, on account of which so many beings disappeared again once human beings came into existence who were able to create and shape according to their will .... Thus people did not live alongside pre-historic beings, but that does not rule out that they didn't inhabit the earth at the same time, they just lived so far apart that they had no knowledge of them, because the time had not yet come for the human being to find the right living conditions he needed in order to survive there. Just one thing has to be clarified, that the earth was not populated at the same time with fully responsible people, they came much later, whereas the pre-historic people still existed wherever the earth was not yet sufficiently developed. It is difficult to give you humans an idea as to how the whole work of creation took place, for you are neither able to imagine the length of time in which this work was completed nor the immense space that had to be populated by the small particles of soul of the fallen original spirits.

This required great diversity which was entirely achieved by My thoughts, so that I saw everything as a minute work of creation before Me and it simultaneously arose as finished work .... so that the creation took on ever larger forms wherein the soul particles were to mature, and it was teeming with creations of the most varied kinds .... so that I placed every work of creation where possibilities to mature were given. And thus the pre-historic beings were a creation which I placed wherever the future human race was sooner or later expected to take possession of the earth in order to bring its developing process to an end. But that the earth should exhibit the same conditions everywhere was not intended by My versatile creative will, and even today there are vast stretches of land where no human being can exist because he lacks the conditions to survive, for which I have My reasons. Yet it is certain that the human being's external shape was a work of My love, that I created Man after My image and that his soul, too, shall one day become My image again which, however, was not the case with pre-historic people, they were unable to develop into the human being as he is at present, irrespective of whether he attains spiritual maturity or not ....

Amen

Pre-historic people? ....

B.D. 9023 from July 23rd 1965, taken from Book No. 94

And if you think that I let you believe something that is wrong you must always consider that you harbour intellectual misconceptions, since the intellect can easily interfere if your contact with Me is not firmly established .... but also consider that I always endeavour to clarify even seemingly apparent discrepancies, for you shall be instructed according to truth. The slow development towards ascent often led people to believe that it was to be understood as a purely physical development .... hence relating to the external form .... however, only the spiritual development was meant by it, the ascent of the substances of soul within every individual work of creation.

And thus My work of creation included countless external forms, which in groups can certainly be referred to as the same creations but which, even then, still consisted of infinitely many groups where one differed again from the other but always continued as the same species .... thus there can be no question of higher development as such. However, as the substances of soul continued to mature, new external forms also arose time and again which only were concluded when the work of creation 'Man' came into being, who then had to fulfil the last task on earth: to spiritualise himself, to change himself into the living creation he had been in the beginning .... in order to then be able to end his earthly path and return to Me from where he had originated ....

The fact that all these pre-historic creations had to contribute towards this change was an exceedingly happy process for Me which sooner or later had to lead to success. Yet to inform a human being of this, who only has a limited intellectual capacity, is only possible to some degree, albeit in the state of light he can instantly comprehend all correlations and the purpose of every external form. But for earthly life it is enough if he receives sufficient light in order to roughly grasp the process of return so that he can also give his fellow human beings a faint idea about the meaning and purpose of creation. And then it depends on every individual person as to what extent he will delve into My eternal plan of Salvation, which only ever aims to achieve My living creations' happiness ....

Amen
