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.

Recorded November 22, 1953

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

Reminder to endure .... Spiritual knowledge ....

B.D. 0182 from November 16th 1937, taken from Book No. 5/6

Behold, my child, everything you start incorporates the blessing that your thoughts are always turned towards the spirit and anyone who strives that way acts in agreement with the Highest Being. If you leave this path, innumerable possibilities will be lost to you .... Your life goes on but in part not as evaluated as is possible this way. And since it is not just for the salvation of your soul but for the soul of many of earth's children you have to endure .... Because you can be immensely effective on earth. We have no other means to impart spiritual knowledge to you in a better way, we can only use the laws given to us by our Lord and Saviour, and during our communication with you we exhaust every avenue for your benefit. And again it depends on your will to receive more and more .... The work on yourself .... the ever deepening union with God .... will also enable you to penetrate ever deeper into divine truths .... and by doing so you in turn give us the opportunity to pass on all the lessons as instructed by our Saviour.

Amen

Physical and psychological conflicts .... Deluded people ....

B.D. 0183 from November 16th 1937, taken from Book No. 5/6

Great and mighty is the Lord who created you but small and powerless is he who does not want to know Him. And therefore you may always trust in the Lord that He, in His power and glory, will protect you, His children, from what does not come from Him, when just a call .... an imploring thought for help gets in touch with Him. What He has created shall continue according to His will, and when you choose the kingdom of God you have to give up all earthly things which cling to you. Because only the human being is judged, not his possessions .... but when God beholds the hearts of people nothing remains hidden from His Fatherly eyes. And meekly you will follow wherever the Heavenly Father will lead you .... because He guides right who trusts in Him. Therefore praise the Lord Who, with divine love, gives everyone that place on earth which is helpful for his salvation. Those who strive for perfection have to serve .... and always be willing to endure for the Lord. It is unspeakably bitter for those who plan their lives by themselves to be excluded from His Fatherly grace .... To those who believe that they don't need God's love, who believe that they alone are in charge of themselves and their destiny the Father remains distant until they too, in silent recognition of the Divinity, will ask for the love of the Father. Only then will they receive it and this in turn will release the grace by virtue of which the human being can now wrestle upwards ever higher. Vast physical and psychological conflicts still await these poor deluded people, because they can only be directed towards their Creator that way .... only in that way will they open their eyes and ears to their spiritual friends, to be finally guided by them onto the right path .... Hardly anyone comes close to the Heavenly Father without suffering .... You, My child, are granted the grace to know your Saviour close to you when you are full of love for Him .... your heart will rejoice for being allowed to stay in constant contact with Him but give Him everything you love and value .... and your life will be ever richer because the sun of grace will shine on you eternally ....

Amen

Trials ....

B.D. 0184 from November 17th 1937, taken from Book No. 5/6

Behold, my child, in all your adversities of life rests a profound purpose and in order to fulfil this you must patiently endure what the Lord places upon you. You are often moved by the desire to be close to your heavenly Father as a child, and this also involves the willing submission to His instructions. God sends these trials upon His children in order to draw them ever closer to Himself, for all these are touchstones on the earthly path and only their overcoming can advance you in your striving .... And nothing is ordained by the heavenly Father in His wisdom without purpose, even if people are unable to grasp it .... This is why all of you must submit yourselves to His orders with unquestioning trust in God, it will only be a blessing for you.

And now, my child, hear our teaching: When the Lord sends Words of salvation to His Own which are not accepted because they lack understanding .... the inner contact with their Creator .... He lets trials come upon them in order to convince them of His will .... for the human being so often deems himself able to avoid a higher Power .... before he has to admit that his destiny rests in other hands than in his own. And time and again the Lord, in His love, takes mercy upon His earthly children. To use the short time on earth correctly, that is, according to God’s mind, by constantly striving for perfection is the Highest Good a person can call his own, since it only depends on his will. And God repeatedly guides his thoughts into spiritual regions .... he is so often warned and informed of eternity .... if only he has the will to serve his Lord and Creator a little he is sure to find the right path by virtue of all spiritual beings which, for the sake of his protection, accompany him on his journey through life. To entrust oneself more to the inner voice and not to fight against thoughts pertaining to the beyond .... to life after death; such thoughts will come to everyone .... and these thoughts must become dear and familiar to you .... instead of frighten you such that you unwillingly reject them .... Anyone who, concerned about his soul’s salvation, does whatever it takes to progress spiritually, will not be scared of physical death .... since he only looks upon it as an entrance into another life which will satisfy his heart’s longing to be united with his Lord and Saviour. Therefore, pay no attention to the sorrow on earth .... it is merely the means to guide you on the right path which shall lead you to eternal peace.

Amen

Old Testament ....

B.D. 0185 from November 17th 1937, taken from Book No. 5/6

Your spiritual knowledge will grow if you willingly put your trust in us and stay devoted to your Saviour in constant love. We are instructed to tell you about the teachings of the Old Testament. Before the Saviour became a human being, God gave His voice to His prophets and conveyed His commandments through them. They taught that the Messiah would come to bring Salvation to all mankind. Yet God, the Lord, never gave them the instruction to provide information about the sins of the Fathers .... Just like today, God has always proclaimed to people that they should live in faith and with love for the Creator. And yet people brought documents into being which intended to testify of the Lord's will .... It could be called presumptuous had such documents not been produced with the best of intention to thereby serve the Lord and Creator of heaven and earth.

And now, as a result of these teachings, people try to deny everything .... even the Words of the Lord Himself, Who had given them through His prophets for the benefit of people. Therefore, do not reject what is beyond your judgment .... Let God reign anew and accept what He sends to you in clear Words which will touch your hearts and which you will understand better than the Book of the Fathers. But this, too, is incorrect .... what you do not understand you should not judge .... Do not reject it, for in so doing you can reject much truth as well .... No house should be without the Word of God, yet even if the Old Book no longer provides anything of comfort to you, do not dismiss it .... times have changed and with it also people's way of speaking .... Do not renounce the Word of God, instead, appeal to the Father for enlightened reading .... that you correctly understand what He gave to you through the prophets .... and that the teachings of truth should be imparted to you. Time and again the divine Father's love will find ways and means for His teachings to find a way into people's hearts .... and to protect you from error He will guide your thoughts, if only you want to understand and to receive divine truths from the Book of Books and not try to ascertain people's weaknesses and faults in a human way.

Only pure, virtuous, God-devoted thinking will vouch for the truthfulness of the Words which God lovingly conveys through His instruments to His earthly children. If this thinking is combined with earthly endeavour .... if it is not entirely focussed on the Heavenly Father, then every work created by human hand will no longer be purely divine but humanly misguided .... and this explains why so many spiritual investigators refuse to accept the spiritual teachings. Yet here again the fact applies that science is unable to fathom what is truth and what are wrong teachings .... the realisation only comes to those who take refuge with the Heavenly Father and appeal to Him for enlightenment. He will not refuse His grace to them and lead them onto the right path .... the path of realisation. Hence, confidently submit yourself to our Words and take notice of everything God bestows on you in order to reveal the pure truth to you ....

Amen

Pure truth .... Signs .... Wonders ....

B.D. 0186 from November 18th 1937, taken from Book No. 5/6

The time will come when it will be revealed to you what the Saviour in His love has intended for you. Then you must be able to love so very profoundly that no doubt can enter your heart. Our striving and efforts aim to convey such strength to you through proclamations that you will accept everything you are offered as pure truth. Notice that everything sent to you by the Lord will invigorate your spirit .... that in many an hour you had already been able to draw comfort from His Words .... that the Saviour only taught you such things which corresponded to your comprehension .... However, His Work will be concluded with such gifts which will guide you into the most profound truth and impart such spiritual knowledge to you that you will recognise the magnitude of His love and power thereby. Strive towards this profound faith which is the basis of your forthcoming activity.

And now be ready to receive: God’s teachings exist forever and eternity, and the Lord always finds among humanity those who are of service to Him and help to spread His teachings. But the human ear and heart are not always willing to accept them. All the miracles the Lord already has allowed to happen .... were only rarely recognised as such .... At the time of Christ many a miracle occurred, and even then only a few turned to Him, for the human being has become hardened through the influence of evil and believes more in him than in his Creator. Therefore blessed is the one whose heart is open to everything that comes from above .... who, in faith of the Saviour, places his work on earth in the service of the Lord. The Lord will enlighten all of them and give them strength to work according to His will for the salvation of the human children’s souls .... Thus you, too, will experience constant progress and fulfil your purpose every day. The acceptance of the Words of God is your guarantee that the Lord is with you in His grace and blesses you. Accept everything humbly, willingly and devotedly and fulfil the commandments of the Lord .... and your faith will grow ever stronger and guide you into higher spheres.

Amen

Hallowed halls .... Blessing of the work for spiritual beings ....

B.D. 0187 from November 18th 1937, taken from Book No. 5/6

Thus begin in the name of God. All those your heart is looking for are present .... You have to fight against temptation again, this complicates your reception, but always stay in loving contact with us and you will be helped at all times.

Now try to follow us:

We carefully prepared what you shall receive and need only your attention. All those who derived blessings from our Words reside in hallowed halls. The same will be granted to you when you fight for your Saviour, for a life in splendour is prepared for His defenders .... Illuminated by the Saviour’s love they only desire to behold the eternal light .... the Lord and Creator of Heaven and Earth, from face- to- face .... Countless souls implore you to help them in their adversity, to escape the control of evil forces. For all of these the path is still so long before they arrive where eternal bliss awaits them .... The opportunity is offered to you through tireless work on Earth to also redeem a large number of these poor souls, since you can point out to many, many people to lovingly work likewise for so many spiritual beings .... Through prayer and devout conduct on earth the strength of all beings keeps constantly growing .... none of you can assess the beneficial effect a way of life in spiritual striving has on the spiritual beings surrounding him .... just as many, which are still in contact with the beings on earth through God’s wisdom, partake in their earthly life and with hope and trepidation long that all should turn towards the divine Father .... After all, their activity in the beyond is to constantly care for these earthly children .... and their spiritual endeavour in the beyond also only ever concerns their entrusted earthly children’s salvation of soul. The battle for such souls is often hard, and if you can helpfully intervene .... by imparting our teachings to your brothers and sisters on earth, countless beings will thank you for this, and therefore they follow your effort with constant concern and hope. Oh, if you humans could only roughly assess how many blessings you can provide with your work .... you would only serve the Saviour from now on and immerse yourselves in love for your fellow human beings .... and you would only ever strive towards the goal of creating eternal glories for yourselves.

Amen

Prayer ....

B.D. 0188 from November 19th 1937, taken from Book No. 5/6

We support you as well as we are able to do so, hence all your fear and worry are unnecessary, it only depends on your prayer .... if you always seek refuge in this you need not worry, for everyone’s heartfelt prayer for enlightenment will be answered. Dear child, spiritual forces want to temporarily make use of you, they want to bestow upon you sublime teachings of God’s wisdom. Pay attention as to how they are given to you. For the Father has given His children one thing in the face of all adversities .... prayer .... What merciful evidence of His divine love is the being-allowed to beseech Him! .... He offers everyone the opportunity to receive help merely by sending heartfelt thoughts to Him at any time .... Compassionately the Father comes to meet each person who calls upon Him in his distress. Whoever amongst you wants to reject this grace loses every possibility that divine helpers will ease his activity on earth. Left to his own devices he will lack the right knowledge .... he will travel his path in life in error and spiritual darkness .... What God gave you through the blessing of prayer is of priceless value for you , after all, it establishes the contact between the heavenly Father and His earthly children. Only someone deluded would reject such means of grace .... Every child of God, however, will thank the Father for this immense merciful evidence of His love and gratefully accept what he is offered. The Lord wants to test you in prayer, because the formal prayers you use are not sufficient .... they do not penetrate to the Father as long as your heart does not speak .... It is only valuable and effective if you put all your childlike pleading into the prayer, be it in words or in thought .... You must always speak to God from the heart, then He will answer your prayer and give to you according to God’s wisdom. For this reason you should trustingly hand all your worries over to your Father, Who will answer your prayer such as it will benefit you for eternity .... And always submit to His will. For He alone knows what is good for you, and He will give to you such that it will be a blessing for you .... Always regard prayer as a blessing .... the bridge on which the Lord allows you to come to Him .... and use this opportunity as often as you can .... at the end of your days you will recognise how richly blessed your life on earth became through it.

Amen

Protection from error .... Admonition to pray ....

B.D. 0189 from November 19th 1937, taken from Book No. 5/6

You shall hear our teachings continually. Behold, God will give to you according to your will as it is good for you. You will always be able to hear His Word .... His loving instructions will be offered to you as long as your will is good and you want to serve the Lord, but always make sure that you will continue to fight for your faith, for it will become increasingly easier for you to receive the more steadfastly you believe. Ponder everything we give to you in your heart and you will notice that much strength will flow to you if you allow the teachings to take proper effect in you .... Sometimes it might well seem to you as if you write down your own thoughts, yet always reject such ideas .... the protection around you does not permit that mistakes will enter your writing .... These teachings are intended for many people, and only pure truth shall arise through you .... therefore beware of such thoughts which only interfere with your composure and also actively impede our transmissions. Only one thing is essential, that you accept everything with profound faith .... that you utterly trust in your Saviour, Who will not let you live in error, and that you gratefully receive from His hand whatever He gives to you. Now be ready and listen: Once again a worker has arisen for the Lord in whom all of us pin great hopes. Once your heart has participated in this great act of mercy by our heavenly Father it will never want to let go of it again .... The pleasures of the world will no longer be able to beguile such a child, for it will live in God’s grace, to live each day in His love is incomparably more valuable. The desire will soon arise to penetrate the spiritual world more deeply, and the earthly world with its enticements can no longer offer the child of God anything that is comparable to these blessings. And yet time after time the Father cautions not to slow down in prayer, for only through constant prayer will the grace and strength be repeatedly gained again, and only in this way can the human being carry on and attain the goal. Watch and pray! So that you will not succumb to the tempter who relentlessly seeks to alienate the human being from divine striving. And through prayer you will always repel all evil surrounding you and only partake in the grace of the Lord. Therefore remain in prayer and call upon the Father for help with every thought, that He may bless your endeavour and give you strength to believe.

Amen

Effect on uninformed spiritual beings ....

B.D. 0190 from November 20th 1937, taken from Book No. 5/6

In the course of time the Lord permits us to give you the information that shall please you. In the realm of eternity many exist whom you, due to your striving, taught to think entirely differently. Silently and gently they appear close to you and pay attention to everything you do and think. And they, too, gradually begin to understand their situation and their purpose. Their thoughts and intentions now aim to integrate and to make contact with benign spiritual beings. Your activity on Earth has already become a blessing for them .... time and again they return to you and regard the possibility of your contact to the beyond in amazement. The ray of light you emanate as soon as our contact has been established attracts many poor souls .... they are still earth-bound and wherever such ray is shining they congregate .... A loving thought granted by you to all of them will time and again give them hope and strength to start the work of improving themselves and to turn to the Deity in dawning realisation. What you already give to those is infinitely valuable and beneficial. Many a soul would like to come forward and entrust his worries and wishes to you, but the time for this has not come yet .... not for them, and neither do we want to disturb your peace. Just now we are acting according to the Lord by only giving you what is good for you and your peace of mind. However, were you able to see the group of those who follow your effort with hope and trepidation, it would already be enough to impel you into using the opportunity of making contact with us as often as you can. If only it were possible for us to often take such direct effect in the earthly children .... it would result in so much blessing! You may always turn to us with devout faith and trust .... countless souls anxiously worry that you might leave this path, and as far as our strength permits we will all helpfully stand by your side, therefore you can very confidently continue your work and need not worry that our support might ever be withdrawn from you. Our Lord and Saviour’s love is beyond measure, and He will always provide His Own with refreshment and strength for their pilgrim’s journey to their true home.

Amen

B.D. 0191 from November 20th 1937, taken from Book No. 5/6

In agreement with our Lord and Saviour we are giving you a proclamation today which shall enable you to also uphold to scholars that your endeavour is ordained by God and well-pleasing to Him. So many people fight a harsh and difficult struggle in order to exist, while good fortune falls into other people's lap, and they have little sympathy for the hardship and suffering of the former. If you believe that they were abandoned by the Lord then you should take a closer look and you will notice that where the human being has to fight for his daily life His commandments are far more likely to be fulfilled than where people are granted an easier fate ....

And thus you will notice that a troubled human being is far more likely to direct his thoughts such that they will lead to his salvation .... but that the person living a carefree life considers any idea of justification before the Heavenly Father inconvenient and will quickly reject it once it arises in him. If you compare this to how willingly Christ accepted His fate for love of humankind, because He thereby wanted to alleviate the suffering of the earthly children's course of life, then it follows, how little the Lord wanted to burden you and how much he endeavoured to reduce this load by patiently taking the suffering of humankind upon Himself. The magnitude of His love was capable of enduring other beings' suffering, and in order to sacrifice Himself on behalf of others, the Lord let Himself be nailed to the cross. Consequently all those who .... meekly and patiently .... bear their suffering on earth are taking part in Christ's act of Salvation, for the human being will only achieve perfection through suffering .... thousands and thousands of souls will be saved for the eternal kingdom through suffering. The other person, however, who is not burdened by anything, will not gain many blessings from his life on earth, for he will close himself to all admonitions placed into his heart and remains far behind the former .... So if you wonder why the Lord takes such different care of His Own, why He lets one person mature through adversity and grief, but protects the other from heartache and problems then the Lord will answer this Himself:

'I gave everyone the pound so that he shall use it'. In the same way as the human being relates to God he will also receive .... 'Is there anyone amongst you at whose heart I haven't knocked? .... Is there anyone amongst you whom I have not approached in order to be admitted by him?' The poor man gives of the little he has .... but the rich man turns a deaf ear to the pleas of those who turn to him for help. And thus the Lord will be admitted by the poor but rejected by the rich whenever He desires to be admitted by him. Hence the Lord chooses who has been of faithful service to Him and remains far away from those who obstinately refused to hear His call .... But soon you will experience how the Father protects His Own and informs them of His love .... Then you, too, will awaken, who have hesitated for so long to admit the Lord into your heart. For the time you were granted on this earth is short. (Break)

Indications ....

B.D. 0192 from November 21st 1937, taken from Book No. 5/6

(Continuation of B.D. 0191)

But now different forces take effect in the human heart, good argues against evil, and very frequently evil has indeed great power over the human being .... A person is far more inclined to accept what will distance him from the Lord, if his external circumstances in life don't prompt him to appeal for help from the Lord in heartfelt prayer. Thus the strength with which the human being would be able to resist the temptations of evil will steadily diminish and the tempter's power, his influence, grow ever more. Prayer is very often forgotten by a person whose life consists of barely any struggle for existence. In due course, these poor souls will completely harden their hearts to the beneficial influences of the spiritual beings which are assigned to them for their protection.

This is why we most urgently suggest renouncing the world and its earthly pleasures, for only this will increase the strength to work for the salvation of the soul. All people blessed by earthly possessions have the urge of wanting to indulge themselves, which is a great danger, for the more they focus their intentions and endeavours on the world, the more they will distance themselves from the spiritual world .... and if they are made aware of the fact that the real purpose of life is actually another one, they merely try twice as hard to deaden such thoughts .... which intend to guide them onto the right path .... with earthly pleasures. They live their life as if they were able to live forever .... And yet every person will receive enough indications and they can see by the fate .... the sudden passing away of many a fellow human being .... how necessary it is to familiarise themselves with the thought of the beyond. The hour will come to everyone, early to some, late to others; and to have lived a long life without having grasped its meaning is indescribably painful ....

This is why the effort of gaining these souls is twice as hard but also commendable .... To draw such a soul away from the opponent requires much love and patience and loyal endurance. Anyone with the opportunity to influence such hearts should not neglect to do so .... although they certain will need infinitely more help on earth, because these poor souls' thoughts will ever more deludedly turn away from spiritual matters.

Receiving the information is causing you difficulties; we will give you more when the time is right.

Amen

Enemies of the human race .... Battle .... ‘Victory is yours ....’

B.D. 0193 from November 21st 1937, taken from Book No. 5/6

Make sacrifices to the Lord and He will reward you a thousand fold .... Countless enemies of spiritual teachings hide amongst people .... Nothing is sacred to them that is beyond human knowledge and ability, and they would like to destroy people’s every striving for spiritual possessions. And wherever possible they teach that all life, all existence will expire with a person’s physical death. And thereby they deprive him of all faith .... they prevent every spiritual point of view towards a higher being .... destroy faith in an afterlife, in a justification .... in fact in everything that is the actual meaning and purpose of the short time during which the human being has the grace to be embodied on earth. But a person with such dismissive attitudes towards all divine things achieves even less than nothing in life .... for not only will his lifetime have passed entirely in vain for him .... he thereby has also fallen prey to the power of darkness, which will pull him increasingly more into ruin .... War has to be declared on these enemies of the human race with firm will and by every means now and at all times. After all, consider how they hold the weal or woe of the human soul in their hands .... Where no own incentive exists to escape this power humanity is in serious trouble. For it will never be able to distinguish between good and bad, it will indiscriminately acknowledge and endorse everything these advocates of the opponent want to make palatable to people with fine words .... and all this will result in nothing else in the end but a nation whose people live in error and reject God and His teachings. And this, in turn, will still divide itself in many factions, and there will be a groping and erring in the dark by all sides .... People try to destroy and describe as untrue and distorted what God has taught and what Christ on earth gave to humanity .... but you, His faithful followers, must not let this Highest Good go astray, you must work together in love and harmony .... in order to preserve people’s bond with God and through this and prayer also the assurance that the Lord and Saviour will, at the right time, help each individual person who follows Him. Many a soul which acknowledges God as its Lord and Creator will stay behind, and your task on earth is to strengthen the faith of these souls and to grant them divine grace. Yet harsh battles will still precede your work, for where the teaching of Christ is treated with hostility measures will also be taken against those who acknowledge this teaching and contend for Jesus Christ .... And in order to be equipped for these battles you will still have to appeal for much grace and strength from the heavenly Father .... but the Saviour Himself will stand by your side and ‘Victory is yours ....’ says the Lord .... for He blesses all those who proclaim His Word, and leads them to victory ....

Amen

Enforced teachings ....

B.D. 0194 from November 22nd 1937, taken from Book No. 5/6

Keep a faithful heart and God will be close to you at all times. And if God places upon you what appears to be unbearable, with His help and mercy you can overcome everything ....

And now listen: We will form a circle around you and start with our work, because the Lord has decided to inform you of the dangers of Christianity as it is taught on earth today. If at any time His Word had been understood in a way which intended to force others then this was a big mistake and error of the teachers .... Because the Lord does not want to pull any of His children closer to Him by force but the children shall decide entirely of their own free will whether they accept their Heavenly Father or reject Him. We therefore consider every compulsion which the church or the servants of God want to exercise towards humanity as unwanted by God and not demanded by His teachings. For this reason such a church will collapse as it lacks the basic condition .... complete freedom of will.

Spiritual freedom cannot exist where it is stipulated to do this or that under threat of punishment; furthermore, the purpose could not be served even if the children of earth complied with such enforced stipulations. Therein rests the explanation as to why such churches will decay, although they also intend to lead the people to God. In recognition of the holiest basic condition, to shape the whole of human life by free will, many other stipulations are from the realm of error .... Any constraint is not wanted by God and is therefore only a hindrance for human beings on the way to eternity .... You may indeed teach His Words but you may not combine them with such terms which will place the human child into a position of constraint and which might give him a different image of God's kindness and love. Always make sure that you, the servants of God, pull your sheep with love towards the Father and teach them that they shall strive and ask for God's help, then their way towards the Father will become easier and nothing will frighten them .... while your doctrines place them into a condition of dependency, in which they are indeed at best trying to do their duty while their inner spiritual devotion towards their Heavenly Father's heart is lacking .... Love and longing towards the Father shall come from the heart and should not be enforced under duress .... The human soul will then climb far higher and will progress much faster with the blessing of God, which it will desire of its own volition ....

Therefore try, wherever you can, to explain to people that they should not hold on to worldly teachings but to listen to the teachings of God deep within their hearts, which will tell them that they are children of God; and as children of God to increase the longing to return to the Heavenly Father should be the basis of true Christianity .... then the Father will show you the way in love and divine mercy ....

Amen

The Saviour’s love .... Spiritual vision ....

B.D. 0195 from November 22nd 1937, taken from Book No. 5/6

Your striving is blessed by the Lord, and you shall hear His Word .... Within a few short hours the most precious things on earth can be taken away from you .... yet the Lord’s love remains with you forever, and to strive for this is worth many sacrifices, My child .... Your wish to refresh yourself at this eternal spring will be granted to you every day, just let your thoughts be with Him alone, then you will live a life on earth which is pleasing to Him .... Every day of your life shall be a constant prayer for the heavenly Father’s love and your path on earth will be an easy one and, as a part of God Himself, you will return to Him when your time has come. The Lord speaks to you because of His greater than great love and what He gives to you in this love will lead you back to God again if you accept it with your heart .... Many threads will unravel themselves and the Lord will soon provide you with a clear idea of the creative process and activity in the spiritual world. You are being granted the opportunity to learn to behold the eternal kingdom with spiritual eyes. In order to be active there you must have achieved a high spiritual level on earth so that, when you enter the beyond, you will be able to integrate with the host of the diligently working spiritual beings. They all work according to God’s wise counsel, and the labour of love they provide for less perfect spiritual beings already grants them a state of impossible to describe bliss .... Moreover, they are able to see and to feel as beings of light .... which is not comprehensible to you as yet .... so that, in union with the Saviour, they are able to stay in this abundance of light which gives them a feeling of immeasurable happiness. Only the love of the Lord Jesus will be able to guide you there, and through love for Him you will become His Own in eternity.

Amen

‘The measure you use will be the measure you receive ....’

B.D. 0196 from November 23rd 1937, taken from Book No. 5/6

Thus begin, my child: If in every situation of life you remain conscious of the fact that you cannot achieve anything without the Father’s help, you will always act right and keep your eyes towards the Father .... The measure you use will be the measure you receive .... This Word was given by the Lord to the children of earth and with it the commandment of love for God and one’s neighbour .... We all know how difficult it is to fulfil it on earth, for love is still unknown to people in earthly life .... each person does not look upon his neighbour as his brother but is more likely to suspect him to be an opponent, and precisely because of this it requires a lot of love to show this fellow human being the love the Lord requires of you. You would certainly benefit if you made an effort to realise first of all that you are all God’s children and that only love for one another should dwell in you, by virtue of which you should only ever treat each other with kindness instead of treating each other with hostility or live indifferently next to each other .... It is the Father’s law that you should receive the same measure as the measure you give to your fellow human beings. Everything you are given by the Father you should also give to your neighbour in the same way but always in the awareness that you are children amongst yourselves and that the Father’s love aims to unite you. Therefore, let no one ever ask in vain and give where only the slightest appeal reaches your ear .... In earthly life the Father wants to give you the opportunity to practise neighbourly love, for love is the first and foremost commandment in the beyond .... everyone only works for another ....

And the love you neglected to give in earthly life will heavily burden you there; many a soul will long for the effect of love which will deliver him from the darkness .... all good deeds on earth are blessed by God, they will produce many different fruits in the beyond, for everyone will reap what he sows and will receive the reward of his love on earth from our Lord and Saviour in love again. For God is love, and to be allowed to live in His love is eternal beatitude ....

Amen

Globe .... Voice of thunder ....

B.D. 0197 from November 23rd 1937, taken from Book No. 5/6

And thus it is the Saviour’s will that your knowledge should grow all the time .... You have little to fear in these days and can devote yourself to spiritual striving without worry; it will give you much strength as well as joy to receive the Words of the Lord. The sole purpose of all instructions is to maintain your contact with the heavenly Father. For this reason we encourage you increasingly more to remain faithful and not to slacken, after all, it will yield spiritual possessions for you which shall benefit you for eternity .... Behold, my child, we are all happy about your eagerness and gladly bestow you with gifts which the Saviour has prepared for you. Indeed, you will still often have to fight until you have entirely penetrated God’s wisdom .... yet you will join the Saviour even more closely, for His love will not let go of those who are faithful to Him .... Once God has chosen to convey His teachings in full confidence to you, you must also justify this trust by fulfilling His will and serving Him at all times. In a short time day will dawn on the globe .... the Lord will walk through all places and give comfort and hope to His Own, and humanity will hear His voice of thunder when He wakes up all unbelievers and spiritual sleepers. But all those of you who seek comfort in the Lord will be safeguarded in His love. He will protect His children from hardship, they will sense their Lord and Saviour close to them and faithfully entrust themselves to Him to save them from all dangers. Therefore you should all turn to your Father in Heaven with childlike trust so that He will protect you now and for all times.

Amen

Battle of light with darkness ....

B.D. 0198 from November 24th 1937, taken from Book No. 5/6

Listen, my child, it is God’s will to instruct you of teachings which correspond to your thoughts and therefore I want to let you know today how very fond our Lord Jesus is of you and how much your dedication pleases Him .... If you ever feel a sense of abandonment, never be frightened .... for One is always close to you, your Saviour, Who will help you carry your every worry. Confidently travel your path of life until the end in this knowledge and don’t be afraid! Not everyone is granted the same fate of being allowed to work physically and spiritually as the Lord and Saviour has intended for you .... yet if you always lift your eyes upwards you will be able to live up to both and constantly feel the Father’s caring hand. Listen to us, who stay close to you, and try to understand: In the beginning of the world all spirit was united .... it was a Being surrounded by the light of the eternal Sun .... Elements whizzed through the universe which shied away from the radiance and tried to destroy the divine light. During the battle of darkness against light countless atoms lost contact with the light and the elements of darkness declared war on those tiny bodies of light which went astray in the universe in order to extinguish their abundance of light, which each of these small and smallest beings sheltered, and to draw these beings into the sphere of influence of darkness .... thus, the battle between good and evil erupted, which will last for an unforeseeable time to come .... And God gave every being of light the freedom to turn according to its own will. Nevertheless, these beings will continue to fundamentally belong to the divine light, even if the battle lasts for millennia .... each one of the smallest components of the eternal Light will flow back to the origin of its purpose .... This is the cycle according to God’s will, that every being should voluntarily turn to Him, with full use of its strength and supported by the love of the divine Father who generates all light, and thus find the path back to perfection and be permitted to stay close again to the heavenly Father .... the eternal Light.

Amen

Battle of light with darkness .... (Continuation of B.D. 0198)

B.D. 0199 from November 24th 1937, taken from Book No. 5/6

When your will applies to spiritual spheres you shall also receive the strength to pursue your goal. The assurance for your striving rests in your heart .... you will feel in your heart that your contact with the Saviour will result in the flow of divine grace and, happily and with inner peace, you will be able to look forward to the future. Where the Saviour seeks to help His Own every day will bring you blessings .... yet also thank the Lord for every day which instructs you of His Word .... And thus begin: Where beings of light argue with darkness no grain will go astray .... everything will arise anew, always aspiring to reach the light .... The smallest beings will stay in the universe and, depending on the duration of their life, will reshape themselves time and again .... until they finally reach a state in which they can freely use their own discretion to do as they like, yet always subject to the Creator’s will. At the onset of their own freedom of will they are also responsible for their further course of life and development .... for the maturity of their soul .... It is their purpose to return to the eternal light from whence they originated, yet the time they take to accomplish this purpose has been left up to them .... Consequently, the light beings struggle incessantly against the power of darkness. Those who emerge victoriously from this battle in turn contribute towards helping those who are weak, and the most effective weapon in the battle against the opponent is love ....

Battle of light with darkness .... (Continuation of B.D. 0199)

B.D. 0200 from November 25th 1937, taken from Book No. 5/6

Oh, it is so pleasing for us to watch your endeavour! .... Anyone who strives towards the light like that cannot descend into darkness, therefore continue to receive our teachings so devotedly, after all, it benefits the salvation of your soul and that of many others. And thus today we want to give you the final conclusion to yesterday’s work: Throughout short intervals of time and space numerous beings of light go through their period of development embodied in animal and plant life, and they, too, unconsciously strive time and again towards the light. After a long time, during which they continue to develop higher in various stages, they enter the last stage before their spiritual rebirth .... the embodiment as a human being. At this stage the battle begins with the darkness, which would like to deprive this earthly being of its purpose and completely pull the soul down into obscurity. And since the human being has free will at this stage to make a personal choice for good or evil .... for light or darkness, this battle carries tremendous responsibility, for his apostasy from the heavenly Father, the eternal Light, would signify a struggle which would last for thousands of years again until this soul is finally also redeemed thanks to the never-ending help of the enlightened spiritual beings’ love. Countless beings would strive more persistently were they aware of this responsibility .... yet the human being should find the path to God of his own accord, only then will he once again be able to become a part of that which he was at the beginning of the world .... Where God’s omnipotence and love takes effect none of the tiny beings of light goes astray, this is why your attention is repeatedly drawn to the fact that, in infinity, every being takes its designated path, conducive to its development, in the care of the Father. The profundity of this law does not seem comprehensible to you, yet neither will you be able to grasp your heavenly Father’s infinite magnitude before you have become what your purpose is .... to be as one with the divine Father ....

Amen

The Saviour's Words .... Storm clouds ....

B.D. 0201 from November 26th 1937, taken from Book No. 5/6

My dear child, what, indeed, should I deem more serious than protecting you from error? .... Accept all Words with faith in Me and don't be afraid of anything. A spiritual guard keeping all evil at bay will always be placed beside anyone of My Own who strives to hear My voice .... So continue wishing to hear the wisdom of God and spare no effort in order to receive it. Many thousands certainly try hard to penetrate a sphere which is still closed to them, however, they only want to ascertain it scientifically but not experience it in their heart .... and if their appeal for enlightenment does not arise from deep within their heart, then realisation will stay away. However, to My Own I will give understanding and speak to their hearts. My dear child, indescribable joys await you, and the suffering on earth is merely the ladder to the happiness intended for you, and all My children are guided by Me according to My wise plan. Particularly when you are in danger of failing I must let you fight in order to rise above yourselves, so that everyone will seek the Father of his own accord. Yet I will always support you with My grace .... Therefore, don't despair when you find it difficult .... but always let your thoughts fade out with the prayer 'Dear Lord, stay close to Me with Your love and grace ....' When storm clouds threaten your spiritual horizon then each one of you, My faithful followers, will be faced with the task of bearing up against the imminent storm. These clouds are already taking shape and will cast their shadows upon all who are willing to serve Me .... By using all those who want to fight against spiritual life, the world will also try in short intervals to stop you who are seeking .... You will be forced to only work very quietly, yet then your effort must be even more determined .... After all, it is essential to still lead many more people out of the darkness into the light, who ask like you and appeal to Me for help. You will indeed accomplish much, since you will always have this .... you are active and work with Me .... and when your heart anxiously looks up above, you will never be left without comfort .... Accept what you are offered, and thank the heavenly Father every day for His love and kindness.

Amen

Demons are roaming the universe .... Prayer ....

B.D. 0202 from November 26th 1937, taken from Book No. 5/6

Demons are roaming the universe .... inciting people in all places to revolt against the commandments of God, and wherever the Father is implored for help they will be kept in check .... It is a wise law that the Lord governs the world .... that these demons will always have to face up to the Creator's will. Left to his own devices, a person would succumb to them were the Lord not to take pity on the profound adversity which surrounds the earthly human being .... and thus you should merely turn to Him for help. The earth will have to remain in prayer for an infinitely long time if it wants to release itself from the power of these dark forces .... So, do you need to worry, since you receive help in all adversity through prayer? .... At no time has the Father ever asked you to stop praying .... the grace you can thereby obtain is immeasurable .... The means is forever at your disposal; hence you should use it for your benefit and implore the Father from the bottom of your heart for deliverance from the powers of darkness. It is entirely up to you if you have to fight hard .... if you don't use prayer and don't entrust yourselves to the Father in your distress .... The Lord bestows His love and kindness upon each and every one, and therefore you should all make an effort to receive His grace. Thus you spend every day in glad anticipation of the teachings given to you and constantly enhance your knowledge regarding spiritual things. Always desire to receive the Word of God and your wish will be complied with on our part .... nevertheless, if you want to remain within the grace of the Lord you must always hand over your heart to Him and submit to His will. You must humbly accept from His hand what His love has in store for you, for one day all pain and suffering will help your spirit's resurrection and you will praise God's wisdom for all eternity.

Straying souls in the expanse of ether .... Light and darkness .... Beyond .... Light ....

B.D. 0203 from November 27th 1937, taken from Book No. 5/6

Once again we are gathered around you to give you the bread of heaven, to strengthen you and to share the divine grace with you. As soon as we feel that you are yearning to hear the wisdom of God we are in contact with you and listen to every stirring of your heart. Thus begin: Behold, there is a chaotic disarray of seeking and straying souls in the expanse of ether, and the danger of loneliness is the worst that can happen to these souls .... but the Lord sends spiritual beings to them which do their best for these souls and try to point out to them that they must also strive for perfection in the beyond, that is where the first labour of love starts for these souls already. By closely joining these benign spiritual beings they slowly strive towards the path of ascent .... God's goodness and love prevails everywhere, and in the slightest happenings and processes .... both on earth and in the beyond .... divine wisdom and divine guidance of all beings is always hidden .... The effect it has on these beings, on these seeking souls, as soon as a glimmer of realisation regarding their situation and their purpose comes to them, is indescribable. From then on, they tirelessly strive to ascend .... Tirelessly they devote themselves to all tasks expected of them and, in turn, try to help the still lesser informed souls. It is an activity of love for each other in order to reach the highest goal. If you begin to strive spiritually on earth, you will be greeted by the brightest light when you enter eternity, you will understand and know .... and you will be spared the straying in darkness with all its battles .... The closer you are to the Saviour on earth, the more radiant brightness will surround you one day. It will give you incredible satisfaction to know that you had already found the Lord during the battle of life and, without a second thought, you will take part in the work of love in the beyond and feel the innermost desire to always lead new souls to the Lord with tireless loving activity and to show them the path to the light. The life of the person who bears this in mind while he still lives on earth will be richly blessed, for his every thought, action and achievement will bear fruit in eternity, and every soul will benefit if it steadfastly strives upwards .... towards the eternal light.

Land of peace .... Gabriel ....

B.D. 0204 from November 27th 1937, taken from Book No. 5/6

We want to fulfil your prayers and instruct you in the teachings of Jesus Christ. Accept everything you are given in your heart and live accordingly. You will greatly benefit if you ceaselessly work to record it .... The time of receiving this grace won't be long, and in order to be able to work for our Lord and Saviour, you must have attained a high degree of faith and knowledge .... It depends solely on you as to whether this short time will be used well. Therefore, do not let any opportunity pass you by unused. The spiritual beings will always choose the form of their manner of speaking such that you will soon recognise who is imparting His teachings to you .... However, today you receive a proclamation which is intended to explain much and shall introduce you to an area which is still unfamiliar to you. So listen: Many souls of the deceased, straight after their death, enter a specifically designated land where no worry and trouble exist. An angel named Gabriel presides over this land, and he provides a peaceful and quiet existence for everyone. That is where many a tired soul gets to know silent solitude in contemplative reflection for the first time and, in a manner of speaking, is compensated for its laboriously spent days on earth until, after having rested, it considers its purpose in the eternal kingdom .... The glimmer of the sunrise sends a gentle light across the entire valley, the eye constantly revels in the strands of outstanding beauty .... no shadow clouds this vision and no discord disturbs the passive observer in the midst of this splendour .... only singing and ringing surrounds him... And this rest strengthens the soul until it awakens from its reverie and feels the urge to become lovingly active .... Anyone having reached a degree on earth which enables him to enter this valley of peace, will be lovingly approached by the Lord and chosen for a wonderful task in the beyond. Oh, if only you all followed your hearts .... recognise the task you are meant to fulfil on earth in order to enter this valley .... just a glance into this land would let you endure anything on earth .... So pay heed: Every loyal follower of the Saviour who gives His heart to Him is promised life by the Lord .... yet what does life mean if you may not enjoy it in His presence? .... However, this land is merely a sample of the life close to the Saviour .... it is merely a transition from the bleak existence on earth to the illuminated realms of beatitude .... Words cannot describe the magnificence emanating from the Saviour's presence, and in order to be able to endure this brilliance the soul needs a period of transition amid indescribably beautiful pastures, which a human heart cannot imagine. My dear child, we would gladly let you have an insight into this land, but the Lord does not deem the time to be right for you as yet .... therefore, with diligence and faithfulness and love for the Saviour you should devote yourself ever more to spiritual matters, so that we may instruct you ever more comprehensively in order to ease your path on earth and to keep your eyes looking heavenwards .... You are being granted an immeasurable grace through these proclamations .... Accept each one with devotion and remain grateful to the heavenly Father now and forever.

Amen

Firmament ....

B.D. 0205 from November 28th 1937, taken from Book No. 5/6

Oh, my child, behold the firmament .... in the splendour of its sparkling stars .... not one of them is independent of the Creator's will, not one can take a path other than that which the Lord has determined. All believers heed God's call each time they behold this wonder in the universe. If therefore the Lord harbours a great number of beings on every one of these stars you can form an impression of the infinity of the universe .... of the endless number of spiritual beings subject to His will .... and of His constant reign and activity regarding these beings, all of which are part of the eternal light. Oh, you won't believe how inconceivable it is for you human children .... you, who cannot even form a remote concept for, if you could, the magnitude, the scale of the regions in the beyond, would overwhelm you .... Yet even the smallest event is arranged by the Father Himself, the tiniest being is cared for according to His will, and countless highly developed spiritual beings are supporting Him in order to accomplish everything that the plan of divine Creation comprises .... Words cannot describe this to you; faced by this momentous realisation you can only humbly bow down before the Lord's greatness and omnipotence .... in your present state on earth you are incapable of anything else. If the Lord bestows upon you the grace of having just the smallest insight into His reign, into His kingdom and His activity, you are inconceivably blessed already, for a child that takes no interest in such spiritual experiences will find it incomparably harder to accept God's obvious activity as long as it does not recognise God's will in even the smallest occurrence ....

Great things are planned by the Lord and your thoughts shall be guided in the right direction, for only by constantly informing those who are willing to hear God's lessons, are we expressing God's will .... The Lord lets His messengers travel through the earthly valley working diligently .... wherever an earthly child can be found, whose love for the Lord makes it receptive for His teachings, it may take pleasure in God's grace and be already allowed to serve Him on earth in a labour of love for uninformed and erring fellow siblings. During this time of adversity, in which many a soul lives on earth, the Lord brings so much help through His servants, so that everyone in serious need of help can take hold of the Saviour's redeeming hand. His pleading prayer penetrates through to the Father and .... with a just little confidence that your prayer will be answered .... many helpful beings will guide you so that you will escape your soul's adversity .... so that you will become free from evil influences and without reservation accept what the Father prepares for you and sends to you through His messengers. Any person's serious prayers will be granted because the Father loves His children. Dear child, listen to what we want to say to you: Consider that everyone is intended to pursue his goal on earth in divine unity .... to become as one again with the Father, Who gave him life on earth in order to advance his spiritual development .... The Lord in His love informs you to look upon this goal, this striving, as the most important thing in life; not one of you should carelessly ignore that he must justify himself one day if he has not used his life correctly for eternity. How bitterly he will have to regret it one day, and how far more difficult will his striving for perfection be in the beyond when he, entirely dependent on the loving activity of higher spiritual beings, must lift himself up through tireless work of improving himself .... When, in fact, you may draw grace upon grace on earth which is granted to you by the Saviour in abundance if only you appeal for it .... why don't you want to make an effort to partake of this grace? .... Therefore, accept all the teachings the Lord sends to you .... become strong in faith, live in love and pray .... pray all the time, then you will, richly blessed, fulfil your purpose in earthly life and make use of this life for eternity ....

Amen

Evil forces .... Earthly possessions .... Treasures for the beyond ....

B.D. 0207 from November 29th 1937, taken from Book No. 5/6

Behold, we all hear your supplications which give us great hope that we will be able to work in agreement with the Highest Being. You are constantly approached by forces intending to cause your downfall and trying to divert your path .... all thoughts affecting you unpleasantly are whisperings of these forces which you must always only counteract with prayer. Spiritual obstacles are being placed in your way to prevent you from making contact with the above, but remember .... time and again you will receive help from our side in order to help you advance on this path. We experience the battle of these forces in eternity .... it is an unremitting struggle against them, yet anyone who is protected by God will emerge victoriously from all dangers. And now we comply with your desire: The most impoverished person on earth is able to wrestle upwards towards God .... since realisation will often come to him through his suffering on earth far easier than to someone in possession of material wealth. You all harbour the desire for earthly goods .... each person regards them as the fulfilment of his wishes .... the goal of his endeavour on earth is to acquire possessions .... and yet, it is so foolish! You cannot make any use of these in eternity, everything stays behind and only the spiritual possessions you acquired will be regarded by the Lord. And woe to you if you leave your life on earth in spiritual poverty! .... You will have to struggle for a very long time in the beyond in order to climb higher step by step, your struggle will be the most laborious work .... And woe to you if you had not gathered treasures for yourselves in earthly life through works of love, which result in the grace of receiving love again, giving you the strength to work at improving yourselves. Here, in earthly life, you often lack realisation .... yet you are offered extensive means to acquire it and for richly blessed activity on earth. But on the other side in the beyond you will lack these .... since you have come to the realisation there .... and you will have to struggle far harder in the beyond. Never rely on later on .... life on earth is only short and to enter the gate of death unprepared is bitter for every person .... During every hour of adversity the Saviour knocks at your door in order that you may grant Him admission .... don't let this voice pass you by unheeded .... always remember that every day could be your last one .... and to live in a way that this thought cannot scare you is what the Lord and Saviour time and again proclaims to you through His emissaries. Therefore listen to your heart and remain in God's grace.

Amen

Awakening from darkness .... Example .... References to activities ....

B.D. 0208 from November 29th 1937, taken from Book No. 5/6

Blessed be the name of the Lord forever and ever .... Wake up from your sleep, all of you who are still in spiritual darkness. The first signs of the dawning day are appearing and the voice of the Father rings out .... and wherever it is heard faint fear creeps into their hearts and anyone not following this voice will hopelessly go astray .... When the first rays of the morning sun break through the darkness the time will have come for everyone to turn to the light .... for he who wanted to deny His Power will shudder and he who deemed himself powerful will tremble .... for neither will be able to claim for themselves 'The Lord bestows His grace upon the humble ....' for humility is unknown to all those who renounce Him today. The will to dominate is extremely strong and, in awareness of this, they inwardly resent subordinating themselves until the higher Power nevertheless puts an end to their activity .... The Lord in His greatness and kindness so often provides the evidence of His Power and His activity, yet people are so deluded .... they pay no attention to the telltale signs sent by the Lord in order to warn them .... everything has become commonplace to them, they keep their eyes and ears closed and, like the blind, keep groping in the dark until the Lord announces Himself .... Many messengers walk through all places .... a tiny grain remains wherever they have sown, and this tiny grain will grow and, nourished by the servants of the Saviour, it will spread and bear fruit one day when the time has come. Thus you should lovingly cultivate faith everywhere .... you should always remind people of the days of terror so that they will not blindly walk into their downfall .... into the downfall of the soul .... and where you were instructed from above you should come together and unite in prayer .... Penetrating divine truth will always be denied to the researcher .... but the child of God which hands itself over to Jesus' heart and beseeches Him in ardent love is granted an insight into eternal wisdoms .... It will be instructed by the Saviour Himself and be able to accept bright and pure truths, and its life on earth will be a blessed one as long as it remains in the Lord. Always remain conscious of the fact that you are under the protection of the Lord if only you always sacrifice your every action and thought to Him in love .... if you trustingly hand yourself over to Him and devotedly and humbly subordinate yourself to His will. The Lord will help you in days of need, and thus you, too, shall help those who appeal for help for their soul in adversity. The Lord will lead such souls to you and it is your task to always give to them as you were given yourself.

Amen

'I need you ....''I need you ....'

B.D. 0209 from November 30th 1937, taken from Book No. 5/6

Greetings to you in the name of the Father .... You must take the path He intended for you .... His protective hand will guide you in the right way. Only your love made you take this path, yet your spirit was united with us. If you keep in contact with your Saviour, benign forces will always be by your side who seek to influence your thoughts so that everything you accomplish will be in harmony with the heavenly Father. Continue your path undeterred and accept the spiritual teachings offered to you with a grateful heart, for sooner or later the time will come when your heart will open itself to the eternal truths God intends to give to you when your faith has become unshakable. We are all waiting for this time, for it shall bring us many blessings .... Always remember this when daily events intend to cause you alarm .... 'I need you' .... the Lord calls out to you .... every being fulfils what He designed it to do .... therefore do not worry and listen to that which will restore your calm:

Your writings are received with great astonishment .... A breath of love and purity accompanies them, and that is what is judged and penetrates the heart. The Words softly linger in his ears and his thoughts are with you, and by accepting the Words of God he gives himself and us great pleasure. And yet, it will not be able to convince him and dissuade him from thinking that you picked up the spiritual knowledge from somewhere else and repeat it now, because he finds it inconceivable that God should give a gift like this to someone whose way of life does not concur with the doctrines of his church. His God-believing, devout disposition made him take the right path at all times and, inwardly united with the Saviour, he always gave the best to people .... However, if you want to serve the Saviour then leave everything trustingly to His discretion .... Just as you became enlightened, He will work everywhere at the right time, yet everywhere in a different way. And just as He granted you fulfilment and comfort, He will also grant others what is beneficial to them. Behold, my child, eloquence often speaks words which are not in harmony with the Father's sacred teachings, and yet the Lord understands, since love for Him often arouses such fervour that its results contradict the pure teaching of Christ .... However, where good will prevails, no harm will come from it, after all, the Father protects His Own, who follow Him. However, from now on make sure that the teachings can be conveyed to you without interruption; it is an unparalleled blessing if you stay in permanent contact with us .... We give you the information according to the Saviour's will .... Restless work at improving yourself, limitless dedication to your Saviour and infinite love for Him will make you receptive for every spiritual influx, and wisdom and teachings of immeasurable spiritual value will flow to you .... The Lord will bless your work .... since you will remain in His grace as long as your heart is intimately inclined towards Him .... Therefore, continue on this path with a joyful heart, well guarded and guided by our protection.

Amen

Font of love .... Dangers .... Power of love ....

B.D. 0210 from December 1st 1937, taken from Book No. 5/6

Look within and realise that everything sent to you from God shall provide you with spiritual knowledge and an increasingly deeper bond with the heavenly Father. We only ever instruct those whose heart long for heavenly nourishment and whose willingness to help is pleasing to the Lord. Many a person carelessly walks past the font of Christ’s love which would grant them refreshment and comfort .... yet thirst and hunger for this refreshment is unknown to them .... satisfying their worldly wishes is enough for them. For this reason we give all the more to those who strive for strength and support through the Lord Himself. It is a contradiction that God sends suffering to His Own in order to subsequently refresh them with His grace and love .... yet it is only a contradiction for those who do not understand the wisdom of God’s actions and guidance .... Complete trust and utter devotion will impart such knowledge to you .... so that you will gladly forego everything else and only ever desire divine wisdom. Therefore, do not prematurely renounce something infinitely precious .... a goal will be set for you soon enough, for life is short. So join us ever more closely, and also pay attention today to the Words we give you with love: Your contention for truth is not without danger for you .... the adversary will send his temptations in equal measure in order to confront you with obstacles on the path you are taking .... and he will not shy away from using any means if he can thereby reach his goal. Your inner battle gives evidence of the danger you are in .... Yet prayer will help you and no child can descend whose desire for the Father is as strong as yours .... You will feel the love in your heart, you will recognise that the spirit of love is only of divine origin when all thoughts are clear and pure and everyone makes an effort to take care of and to work for the other. The power of love is as yet not recognised by any of you, it transcends time and space, its origin is often incomprehensible and yet the inevitable result of correct realisation. And it revives with such strength that centuries will be unable to lessen it ....

Life on earth is just a short span of time in eternity; love, however, was effective even prior to that and will be effective for all eternity. In this way the Lord ensures that those of like mind shall be united on earth .... who acknowledge Jesus Christ as their Lord and want to serve Him with loving devotion .... and although they all take their different paths .... their activity of love brings them together, they give to each other out of this love and feel the heartfelt desire to show each one of their fellow human beings the way to the heavenly Father. Through blissfully absorbing spiritual knowledge, through active works of love, through constant striving for perfection, the human being attains a level which will enable him to adopt a shape of light after his departure and which will remove him from the heaviness of earth. Do you realise what grace it is .... to have overcome suffering and worry? .... God takes your life in order to return it to you in undreamt of fullness of light and undreamt of beatitude .... Behold, my child, it is our constant endeavour to achieve this for you .... We would like to show you the way but are only able to teach you if your will accommodates it. Therefore you must do whatever you can to offer us the opportunity. We so dearly wish that you won’t tire in your work .... that you will constantly pray and struggle for God’s love and grace. The stronger the power of prayer, the more we are united with you and the deeper you will be affected by our Saviour’s teachings, Who has prepared them for you in love. And if opposition should arise in you through dark powers, you should pray even more, so that you will at all times emerge from this battle victoriously.

Amen

Warning .... The Saviour's love ....

B.D. 0211 from December 2nd 1937, taken from Book No. 5/6

During an hour of silence you will experience the Lord's grace, Who will inform you of His will and assign your future activity to you. Dear child, always seek to keep your heart pure, for only then will you receive the strength to diligently comply with your duty on earth .... If you are cautioned by the Father, you will find yourself facing a cliff, and then you should conscientiously try to know yourself and make an effort to improve so that you can flawlessly face your Creator .... in order to then receive clear and pure Words of truth. In this life everyone makes the great mistake of confiding insufficiently in the Saviour Who would like to grant him all His love .... Who would like to look after him and guide him through his whole life on earth. After all, anyone who appeals for the Saviour's love travels the long path through the earthly valley with Him; would this awareness not make anyone blissfully happy? What could be more pleasant than to avoid all obstacles of life guided by Him? ....(Break)

Warning against evil forces ....

B.D. 0212 from December 2nd 1937, taken from Book No. 5/6

Dear soul, why do you afflict me .... let it be sufficient for you .... Angels are messengers from God, sent to serve those who shall inherit beatitude .... Pointless ....

In writing I can give you more. Protect your heart from unbelief and look after your soul ....E vil spiritual beings battle for it and would like to plunge you into ruin .... remain faithful to the Lord time and again and long for Him. For even if your spirit is willing .... embittered opponents fight in the ranks of the enemy .... The Saviour Himself will help you, but do not leave the right path and always remain His child.

Amen

Spiritual protection .... Warning ....

B.D. 0213 from December 3rd 1937, taken from Book No. 5/6

Oh my dear child .... in the world the Lord has arranged that His servants are surrounded by spiritual protection .... without it you would have to perish, for you are constantly pursued by evil powers intent on pushing you off the path you are taking. It is a constant battle for your soul; nevertheless, the Father leads you out of all danger .... Lay your heart down at His feet and He will protect it now and forever. And when you experience the salvation of God .... when you are blessed to hear the Word of God, all demons shall disappear, for the blessing of the Lord is upon His Own and those who want to harm them will perish. So listen to what we want to tell you: It is not the Father's will that you should waste your strength .... It is worthless for you to seek a connection which can give you far less than you are offered through your daily receptions. None of you can hear the host of angels rejoicing about a willing child .... However, if you let the grace pass you by, you will have deprived yourselves and will not be accepted so easily again, for the Lord's will has chosen all of you but you disregard His Words. However, much would be taken away from you, my child, were you to start all over again with that which showed you the right path in the beginning. Time and again the Lord admonishes all of you to remain faithful; time and again He lovingly draws you to Himself, therefore, hand your hearts over to Him and remain gladly and loyally devoted to Him .... But your dear friends shall be advised that only constant striving towards higher spheres will bring them close to the path again which they left for fear that it might harm them .... We make a sacrifice if it is for your highest good .... In hours of laborious communication we will gladly inform you of our endeavours and seek to introduce you to the kingdom of God; however, you must be willing and comply with our advice and admonitions. We cannot instruct anyone with a reluctant heart who fails to make innermost heartfelt contact with us and wants to accept our teachings. Yet we will give increasingly more and in greater depth to the child of God which trusts us .... whose prayer is granted by the Father and which ever more willingly opens its heart and ears to our teachings .... If the Father bestows such grace upon you, then you should gratefully accept it, but don't ever allow yourselves to be set back when you struggled step by step on the path. Continue your path with God and look upwards, not backwards.

Amen

Submitting to the will of the Most High ....

B.D. 0214 from December 4th 1937, taken from Book No. 5/6

My dear child .... Holy is the will of the Lord, great and powerful .... and all shall bow down before Him. Conscious of His power, the human being hides his face from the Creator of Heaven and Earth .... and only immaturity of soul, delusion and arrogance let the human being become haughty .... Take care of your spirit so that you will realise how small you are compared to the Lord .... don't let any thoughts arise in you which separate you from the Father but make an effort to reach Him. And for this you need to pray .... Difficult days will ensue for the one whose spirit is incapable of submitting itself to the Deity .... When all indications in a person's life fail to convince people of a guiding Fatherly hand, then the Father must intervene more severely so as not to lose one of His conceited children. It is, after all, beneficial for all of you if you accept your Father's teachings, for there is not one among you who would be able to enter everlasting peace without realisation .... and in order to gain realisation I repeatedly sent you new indications of divine activity .... And the fact that the Father's love is constantly concerned about you, that a ceaseless struggle for your souls takes place should be obvious to you if you merely open your eyes and ears for everything going on around you. What would be the point of all life around and inside of you if it did not correspond to a divine purpose .... is there anything in your existence which does not testify to His will? .... And if the thought instantly arises in you that God's Creation is a work of lawfully proceeding activity of nature .... then you merely use a different expression for the same thing .... Everything that arose, everything that came into being, was created by a Power Which reigns over Heaven and Earth .... and you are all subject to this Power, no human will, regardless of how strong it is, can isolate itself, it is also subject to the one will .... the will of the Most High. Try to understand that you belong to God .... that you are a tiny part of this Deity, provided your striving has begun and you profess God .... Then not one of you will fight it, then all of you will also want to be as 'one' with your heavenly Father, and all of you will want to receive His grace and longingly turn to the One Who created you and destined you to wear the crown of life one day.

Amen

The effects of God's Word ....

B.D. 0215 from December 5th 1937, taken from Book No. 5/6

We actively participate in everything you do, and if it is for the glory of God, blessings and grace will ensue for you. As a result of your spiritual work we, too, have to fulfil ever new tasks .... since it is necessary to support all those who you are trying to win over .... and to assist them when they search and ponder and turn their thoughts to the beyond. We pay attention to their every stirring of heart .... and we aim to direct their thoughts towards the heavenly Father. Eager activity sets in wherever even the slightest thought is sent up .... This is why your cooperation is so longed for by all spiritual friends who, in turn, are entrusted with the souls of these earthly children .... and if you comply with the commandment of love, you share with them the Father's gift for you. The Lord commissions you, His daughter, to work for His glory, thus He gave you a ministry you must take care of .... Working on a small scale is often especially laborious and requires much patience, for where such thought had never before occurred to the human child the ground must be prepared first before it can and wants to receive it .... Where the Saviour is present amongst you .... when you sincerely pray for His presence .... the activity will be twice as richly blessed and by the magic embracing you will feel that you are granted His love .... An air of piety descends upon everyone, at first unconsciously .... but then you will feel it increasingly stronger, and even if you want to resist the touch of love coming from the Word of God .... you cannot escape it. And if you let yourselves be affected by these currents flowing to you .... if you spend sincere thought on the Lord and Saviour, you soon will feel how you faith .... your love for the Saviour and your longing for the Father grows and that you draw blessing after blessing from it .... It is so beneficial to be active in love for fellow human beings. Abandoned are all those who received from the Father and rejected this gift .... To fulfil the commandments of God should be everyone's endeavour, and the Lord expects everyone to live a God-pleasing life in love .... but who lives like that on earth? Barely a few .... The Lord does not want to influence them forcefully by any means or it would be easy to make them comply .... However, if you resolve to obey His will out of love for Him you will remain blessed and from then on see your goal in the unity with God. The Word of God signifies your certain discovery of the path to ascent .... God's Word is your nourishment and refreshment at the same time .... it is your strength and power .... it is the never ceasing source of grace which Christ keeps at your disposal to draw from constantly. If you are instructed by God's messengers then you take part of the work in the eternal universe, in regaining souls for the kingdom of God .... Whether on earth or in the beyond .... the love of God wrests the souls from darkness and any work for this purpose will be blessed by the Lord. So desire to hear the Word of God at all times, all of you who want to be of service to the Lord, let yourselves be refreshed .... let yourselves be strengthened and comforted, and come to the Father from Whom the eternal Word emanates. On earth He promises you eternal life, if you abide by His Word you will never ever know death. And all of you can achieve it by merely wanting it .... you need only ever stay within the Lord and the promise of Christ will come true .... for His is the kingdom, the power and the glory for ever and ever.

Amen

Human manifestation ....

B.D. 0216 from December 6th 1937, taken from Book No. 5/6

My dear child .... The Father's great goodness wants to reveal a big secret to you .... the secret of His human manifestation. Without the Lord's love you humans would never have been able to release yourselves from the guilt of sin and would have fallen increasingly deeper had the Father not taken mercy upon humanity and, in greater than great love, sent His holiest child to earth in order to bring salvation to people from utmost adversity. No greater evidence of His divine love could the Lord ever have given to people than the fact that He sacrificed Himself .... that He took everyone's guilt upon Himself and, through suffering and crucifixion, acquired the grace for people to enter the kingdom of God again .... Far worse than the suffering on the cross was the guilt of sin which burdened His pure, divine head, and in unspeakable pain for the earthly children He offered the heavenly Father the greatest sacrifice .... He gave Himself for the suffering of earth .... The Father had sent His son to earth .... the holiest, highest, purest being Which was as one with the heavenly Father, accomplished this act out of most heartfelt love for humanity .... Everything in the universe must remain motionless in realisation of this most sacrosanct sacrifice ever made for the human race. The magnitude of His love must let everything fall silent in utter reverence .... And all those having been redeemed from deepest sin by the Lord must eternally sing His praises .... To descend into the valley of earth from the close presence of the divine Father's all-encompassing radiance .... from the splendour and magnificence of eternal life .... into the midst of sorrow and depth of sin .... The Saviour's love for the earthly children and the horrendous sacrifice of living in His purity in the midst of sin and vice is beyond words .... The Son of God fulfilled the act of Salvation on earth in holiest compassion .... No being before or afterwards ever endured such suffering as the Son of God .... On earth the Saviour participated in all suffering .... in boundless love His divinity revealed itself and thus, for the salvation of humanity, He made an offering of Himself. Become like little children, then you will be able to empathise with the Lord's agony .... His spirit .... great and glorious and radiant .... dwelled in eternal light .... in order to now live embodied on earth, burdened by humanity's guilt of sin .... with a crown of thorns upon His head He experienced the most bitter humiliation with a pure heart .... He took all suffering on earth upon Himself in order to lessen the earthly children's pain and, in order to prepare the Father's kingdom for them, He allowed Himself to be nailed to the cross .... God's love was so infinite that He gave His Son, yet the love of Jesus Christ returned to the Father what would have been forever lost without the Saviour's love. Without this love no being would be able to behold the face of God .... for the sake of the human race the Lord offered Himself as a sacrifice and thus redeemed the world from eternal death. Blessed is he who, in partaking of this sacrifice, lives in the love of the Lord so that he, too, will be redeemed through Jesus Christ, our Lord!

Amen

Insight into all beings' activity ....

B.D. 0217 from December 7th 1937, taken from Book No. 5/6

And once again day is dawning amongst humanity, for the Saviour is within your midst and instructing you .... If you listen to the Words of God, the Saviour is close to you .... He grants his gifts to everyone of good will. And thus you are offered anew strengthening of the spirit and a ceaseless outpouring of His love on receptive souls. Oh, prove yourselves worthy of this grace .... you will provide such unimaginable bliss for yourselves if you unite with the Saviour in constant activity of love, for not one of you would be able to become blessed without His grace .... but through His grace the Lord Himself will guide you on the path of ascent .... All instructions will be given to you as intended by the Lord, His goal is to grant you an insight into the spiritual beings' activity through constantly more profound revelations so that you will learn to understand that everything in the universe repeats itself over and over again .... that all life and death merely serves the one purpose of advancing the soul .... that every being's task is the same at all times: to care and to work in love for the weak .... that God, the highest and most worshipful of all beings, wants to draw us to Himself with loving compassion and that we must forever strive for perfection in order to come close to the infinite Deity. However, you should not forget that the Father calls all of you .... that all of you shall enter His kingdom .... and if the Father therefore assigns you an activity, for each person a different one .... everyone's purpose is nevertheless the same .... to make sure that one's own and one's fellow human being's soul won't come to any harm but that it will be offered to the Father in purity and perfection .... for only according to this it will be judged one day. Therefore, desire the kingdom of God first before you long for other possessions and strive for them. Everything on earth is merely temporary .... in a manner of speaking, it is just given to accompany the earthly child, yet it should willingly let go of all earthly possessions and only desire its own, that is, its soul's, maturity, so that through overcoming all earthly possessions it will find the path to the heavenly Father and thus enter His kingdom, which was prepared for us through Jesus Christ, our Lord.

Instruction to work for spiritual possessions .... Realisation ....

B.D. 0218 from December 8th 1937, taken from Book No. 5/6

Greetings to you from all of us, and under our protection further teachings from the Saviour shall flow to you. By no means do we want to withhold anything from you and your fellow siblings which can only be a blessing for you all, and therefore the Saviour has granted your prayer and allows you to hear His Words afresh time and again, for in receiving these your strength and your faith will grow. And when your knowledge increases, when you constantly remain in His grace, the high value of your work will also be recognised .... It is self-evident that only a person will partake of this grace if he constantly works at improving himself and only ever tries to lovingly provide for his earthly siblings. And yet, everyone has the right to be instructed in the Word of God, and by merely showing a little desire the Father will take pity upon him by granting his wish and instructing him .... For as yet you don't understand that the Father's love is seeking you .... that everything only happens in order to show you the right path, for there is no salvation where you are aiming to, there is only destruction .... Consider this before it is too late. At the end of your days you will find it difficult when you will have to justify yourselves as to how you have used your life. Of what use will your actions then be which merely gained you earthly reward .... Of what use will your earthly possessions be? .... And how much will you regret not having gathered deeds of love which enable you to ascend in the beyond .... and what pain will this regret cause .... when you have realised that you had precious time at your disposal and had lived it fruitlessly for eternity .... Oh, such realisation is bitter! The Lord therefore admonishes you to turn to Him while there is still time, for within a short time you can, if you are of good will, create inconceivable possessions for eternity .... if you unite with the Lord in thought and in heartfelt prayer appeal to Him for His grace .... Everything you request from the Father for your soul will so gladly be granted to you. Don't be satisfied on earth with illusive possessions which are not permanent .... the Lord has prepared such indescribable happiness in His kingdom for you .... this alone should be worth your desire. Let yourselves be instructed and if you gratefully accept these teachings in your heart it will be a blessing for you for eternity. Now, my dear child, follow our advice: It is not always good to let oneself be guided by one's feelings .... You will learn to understand these words .... that this gift of God you received is something special .... Over many decades the human being does not divert from his point of view, and yet, a moment often brings him close to the great, holiest .... recognition of the Divinity, and then he is no longer able to find his way through the confusions of life. He feels he understands and can no longer reconcile this understanding with everything before .... This is the time when often everything seems to crumble in the person which until then had seemed rock-solid, and if then the grace of God did not visibly protect such people, the adversary would have an easy time .... Yet everyone follows the path he is destined to take, and his sincere inclination towards God will guide him across all obstacles. And if you now turn to the Saviour for enlightenment, the Lord advises you to leave everything to Him .... He will correctly guide and instruct anyone who places his trust in Him, and if you feel that your desire for the Lord is being granted, that your heart turns to Him increasingly more, then you will also receive increasingly more profound teachings and the bread of heaven will be given to you .... Praise the Lord, for He instructs you and changes everything for your own good.

Amen

'Remain active in love ....'

B.D. 0219 from December 9th 1937, taken from Book No. 5/6

My dear child .... We all know that you depend on your daily work and therefore always try to accommodate you so that you can accept the daily reception without interruption .... However, consider how much better it would be were you able to keep to the same time .... within our ranks we have to accomplish a scheduled activity and therefore, where possible, instruct each person at the same time .... You might not understand this at the moment but trust our words, during reception you will feel that our thoughts flow easier to you as soon as you place yourselves at our disposal in a completely detached state. Every being is subject to certain decisive laws and so we are always already ready at the right time, so that you can receive what is granted to you .... Yet now continue your writing, we are ready for you .... we just wanted to explain how much easier it would be for you and for us, if you could possibly always make contact with us at the same time, and now begin: Remain active in love .... Write these words deep in your heart, for it is the epitome of an upright way of life .... It will be indescribably significant for you if love always decisively influences your actions. For such deeds are pleasing to God .... And if, from another side, the same is preached to you that every good deed has its rewards .... then realise that love must always be its motive .... How often is this disregarded .... how often do people give, how often is something done purely mechanically without heartfelt love .... And this deed is not recognised by the Lord. Even the smallest act shall be guided by love .... and you should always feel the Saviour's closeness in you .... For in every deed of love God Himself is close to you .... No matter what you do .... if it is in connection with the feeling of love for your Saviour .... to your fellow human beings, you will always find grace in the eyes of the Lord .... And only then will you be 'active in love ....'

My child, always instruct your fellow human beings about the importance of this teaching .... Make it clear to them that they must work at improving themselves from within, that they must first cultivate love in order to make attaining the connection with God increasingly easier which, in turn, will grant them the grace again to take the right path, for the human being only remains in contact with God through actions of love .... And henceforth all divine grace will flow to people who pay attention to this and, at the same time, transform themselves from within, if they first cultivate love in their hearts. And where you are able to show love to your neighbour, your change will bear fruit again .... For love awakens love in return .... and thus every good deed in love results in the same again, and such change has a refining effect on all those who are with you and around you .... Consider this and make every effort .... It is the Deity's intention that you should receive the love of heaven; in order to awaken it you must prove yourselves worthy .... you must strive of your own accord to receive the love of God .... Therefore practise love for God and your fellow human beings, for only through love can you become redeemed while you are still on earth and one day in eternity.

Amen

Pray with trust in the Lord .... Spiritual protection ....

B.D. 0220 from December 9th 1937, taken from Book No. 5/6

Pray to the Father in every adversity and, when He helps you, recognise His love. You all need to suffer, so that you send your thoughts to the Father and entrust yourselves to His kindness .... The Father will not abandon His Own and, providing you make an effort to acknowledge His will, you will regard Him as the Father and will be safe and secure in His Fatherly love. Don't forget that your attitude towards God prepares you on earth for eternity .... If you are in heartfelt contact with Him, you will constantly experience His grace .... if, however, you renounce the Father, you will forfeit your childship to God and live your life on earth without His blessing. Let the Lord look after you and trust in Him. Inwardly you must certainly be strong and never doubt His love and goodness, after all, what would you be without these? .... First you must endeavour to have complete trust, then you will receive help in every adversity .... however, someone with timid trust in the Lord and His power .... will just as timidly appeal for help, and how can it then be granted to him? .... Therefore turn to the heavenly Father with strong faith and blind trust if you want your prayer to be granted, for the Father loves His Own and will help them in their adversity. And rest assured that He will let no child pray in vain which imploringly raises its hands to Him .... Thus, appeal to the Father with full confidence and don't worry .... Countless words will give evidence of the fact that the Father's love gives to His children what their heart desires. His angels are watching over you and lift you up when you are in danger of wavering. Entrust yourself to their protection, so that you will be guided on your earthly path until you enter eternal peace.

Amen

The Saviour's Word .... Guiding star in the darkness of night ....

B.D. 0221 from December 10th 1937, taken from Book No. 5/6

Hear our teachings, my child, and accept our Words with trust: Everything the Lord has in store for you is intended to be a comfort to you during hours of weakness. You, too, will need strength and consolation in life and this shall flow to you from the Words, so that they will always be able to lift you up again. It is His will that you shall be instructed whenever we can feel your desire for heavenly bread .... the Lord in His love and goodness explains everything His children desire to know .... He introduces them to the teaching of Christ in order to henceforth be a loyal Advisor on their path in life. And what can go astray under such a faithful watch? His Word is the guiding star in the darkness of night .... it is a warning of danger .... it is given to uplift, comfort and invigorate .... You will always feel refreshed when you appeal to the Saviour that He should bestow it upon you .... In your innermost heart you shall perceive the loveliest Words and you shall accept them gladly, and once they have penetrated you, you will never let go of them, for nothing of an earthly nature can substitute the most glorious gift of God .... Nothing else will pour peace into your heart in the same way as the Saviour's teaching. And once you have received it, try to live according to the Saviour's request .... shape yourselves in a way that He will look upon you with pleasure .... that you, who comply with His Words, will be surrounded by radiant brightness. For whose Words should affect you even more impressively if not the Lord's? .... And if God has given you peace on earth already then you are inconceivably wealthy, and you, who are already allowed to live in the grace of the Lord on earth, have the assignment to share your wealth from now on.

Amen

Beneficial activity ....

B.D. 0222 from December 11th 1937, taken from Book No. 5/6

And once again we want to point your beneficial activity out to you. Much will still be offered to you and only diligent work on yourself will bring you closer to the goal of being united with the heavenly Father. For when God's messengers endeavour to initiate you into the mystery of eternity, when you are continuously given divine wisdoms, when the Lord Himself allocates you what you shall receive, an abundance of blessings will be ascribed to you. Behold, we want to reinforce your will, we want to prepare you for your work, we want to help you to always desire the heavenly bread. At no time will it be denied to you as long as you ask for it yourself and constantly remain in contact with us in a state of complete closeness to God, as we are merely the Lord's executive forces .... we comply with His every directive and teach where the desire for the Deity exists. As soon as a nasty thought of evil powers wants to thwart our endeavour and influence you unfavourably, our protective spiritual beings are anxious to remove you from this influence, and when you direct your thoughts to the Saviour again all enemies of your soul will be powerless; this is why it entails such infinite blessing if you frequently find the path to the Saviour Who will comply with your desire with boundless love .... This shows all of you that every thought is decisive for your spiritual development .... Look at people whose mind is exclusively occupied with worldly desires, how little contact they have with their spiritual surroundings .... how carelessly they bypass so many blessings which would also be granted to them .... Every spiritual being's continuous effort is to direct the thoughts of their entrusted earthly children into spiritual regions .... with just a little cooperation you will already be able to receive your spiritual friends' thoughts .... that is, they will be able to transfer the thoughts to you, and then you will slowly ascend step by step, if it is your will. For only your will is decisive .... You shall choose the path to the Father in complete freedom of will .... and since you are too weak to choose what is right of your own accord, you must pray for strength and for correct realisation, after which you will be guided correctly, for the Father calls you in His love .... Anyone of good will heeds the call, for the Father considers no person and no being too insignificant that He should not attempt to draw it upwards .... Thus you constantly notice within yourselves the struggle of the spiritual beings surrounding you ....

Amen

Treasures ....

B.D. 0223 from December 12th 1937, taken from Book No. 5/6

Day is dawning on earth .... At a time when you all have to fight, the Lord gives you an abundance of blessings .... It is His will that all available spiritual forces shall be in contact with Earth .... and thus it remains up to you to make use of the Father's kind-hearted approach. Simply trust your movements of heart .... the Lord always tries to penetrate this and, if you are receptive, you will be blessed by the heavenly Father. In all your striving on earth you always forget one thing .... the conscious work of improving your soul .... You always consider earthly striving more important and pay no attention to the existence of that which is most sublime in you .... the soul, which is, after all, a part of God for which you should pave the way during your earthly existence .... Don't let your soul live in want for the sake of your body, in view of the afterlife make the sacrifice to constantly endeavour to cultivate a different way of thinking .... take hold of the Father's hand which reaches out to you and don't hide yourselves from the Saviour .... The dawning of this day finds a diligent child at work .... and thus you, too, should do your work day after day .... Do you know whether the evening will still be granted to you? .... Do you know how long you will live on earth? .... Oh, why don't you listen to the voice of caution! .... Golden gates will be opened for you if only you are willing to understand .... for during this period of time everyone's thinking will still change .... you will have to understand why the Father allowed the events on earth to happen .... that everything which affects you at present will have been, in the sense of divine wisdom, only permitted to have happened as a means towards your perfection. Understand this and humbly accept the Lord's directive, so that new activity shall develop from all happenings around and inside of you .... the work of improving your soul .... The means used by the heavenly Father in order to gain His Own may seem incomprehensible to you, yet the Lord looks into every human heart .... He must intervene at the root of evil and where the soul is in greatest danger of heading toward the abyss. The external circumstances of life are often the cause of why a person distances himself from the Lord instead of turning to Him .... then the Lord will intervene with means which intend to arouse the human child from its spiritual sleep. Recognise your purpose .... it lies somewhere else than you assume in your blind eagerness .... If the Lord guides you with loving mercy towards realising the truth then be grateful and submit yourselves willingly, and don't cling small-mindedly to big problems which you are unable to solve with your current attitude. The Lord wants to see actions which serve the progress of the soul .... you will be able to accomplish the earthly duties imposed on you as long as the salvation of the soul is your first consideration .... your heart will find peace in difficult times if you work in cooperation with the Lord and not against Him and His teachings .... for if you want to exert an ennobling influence on your fellow human beings you will not be able to do so if you reject the Saviour and His grace which is at your disposal .... On your own, without the Saviour, your endeavour will be unsuccessful because 'No one comes to the Father except through Me' ....

Amen

God's means to gain realisation ....

B.D. 0224 from December 12th 1937, taken from Book No. 5/6

(Continuation of no. 0223)

Every proclamation is the heavenly Father's answer to your supplication. The Father's love considers each one of His children according to His judgment .... The most beautiful and valuable goal you can set yourself in earthly life is to strive for eternal life. Illuminated by His grace no darkness can cast a shadow over the path to the top .... led in bright light across all obstacles .... the Lord will draw you to Himself. In tireless work your life flies by .... and you will replace your life on earth with life in the beyond .... so lend us your ear today again in order to receive the Words of the Saviour: The hour which may be decisive for their every activity on earth is often met with indifference by people. The opportunity certainly often also presents itself to people in life when they are being admonished to leave the broad path in order to reach the top on the narrow and laborious path .... yet they rarely listen to the inner voice until they receive ever more serious pointers to eternity. If someone would merely not let them pass by unused .... it would be to his own benefit. It is the Father's will that the earthly children shall be warned over and over again .... With untiring patience the Lord wants to bring help to all those poor people who spend their life in delusion. Since the Father, in His love, is so concerned for His children .... it would be really easy for you to listen to the Words of exhortation He proclaims to you .... He cares for His children on earth with never-ending mercy and uses the strangest means to inform them of His will .... Oh, listen to the voice which only holds love for you, His living creations .... comply with it gladly! .... (Break)

God's means to gain realisation ....

B.D. 0225 from December 13th 1937, taken from Book No. 5/6

(Continuation of nos. 0223 and 0224)

So continue: The Lord will always inform you of His will by allowing you to gain insights into the activity beyond this earth .... into His beings' activity in the universe. If He grants you the connection from this world with the beyond then it is an act of grace which purely arises from the intention to inform the earthly children of His love and to admonish them to seek the Father as a child of God in order to focus on their purpose. None of you question where your activity is leading you .... You just use every day for accomplishing your earthly work. You do not want to know what kind of value or worthlessness it entails and remain indifferent to the true purpose of earthly life .... Behold, the Lord must draw your attention to your mistake .... if He does not want you to descend further .... and so He uses the means at his disposal, as necessary. With some, a gentle suggestion is already enough .... a knock at the door of his heart .... yet others refuse to wake up .... the spiritual night surrounding them prevents them from turning towards the rays of light .... they do not desire illumination .... they believe they will just as certainly find their path in their spiritual darkness .... yes, they certainly take this path, but where is it leading to? Oh, let yourselves be warned before it is too late! And beseech the Lord in prayer for help, then you will find it easy and the hour of realisation will be near.

Amen

Extraordinary disposition .... Christian teaching changed into secular teaching ....

B.D. 0226 from December 14th 1937, taken from Book No. 5/6

'Remain with me at all times ....' shall be your prayer to the Saviour, and He will always protect you from danger that might otherwise threaten your soul .... Your determining factor will always be your attitude towards Him .... since you will accordingly either win every battle of the soul or be defeated .... Where you beseech God for help, victory will be assured to you. Your heart need only ever humbly accept divine will. Up above in the eternal home it is a law that everyone shall be subject to their Lord and Creator and if you heed this, everything else will fall into place .... By acknowledging God's will, the sensation of his own smallness arises in every person, it is a sign of a dawning realisation and then everyone should make an effort to listen attentively to the Lord's directive. Behold, my child, if you observe people's every activity without the slightest opinion of their personal value, it will very soon become clear to you that they entirely separate the subordination of higher laws from that which they believe they create for themselves. They fail to consider that they are by no means capable of acting arbitrarily where it would be contrary to the Lord's will. Extraordinary disposition requires extraordinary preconditions in connection with the Deity, and if a simple solution regarding the question of eternity comes to such a person he will reject it simply because he was incapable of grasping the depth of divine truths and has no sympathy for the daily striving towards the soul's perfection .... Dear child, place the words in a way that the meaning is understandable to you .... give them the meaning in reverse order .... Once you have penetrated the divine teachings more deeply it will be comprehensible to you. Yet for today listen: The opponent constantly preaches about the spiritual disintegration of our teachings .... the teaching of Christ. Every Word our Saviour gave humanity is intended to be changed into purely earthly admonitions, only calculated for the duration of the human being's life. And every Word is to be classed as human work .... albeit the work of a morally highly advanced person .... Yet no human being would ever have been able to do what the Saviour in His divine love for humanity has done, and His divine Words would never have survived throughout millennia had it merely been human work and human words. So today's explanation for everything that wants to rebel against this Word .... is that this is human work, supported by the opponent's power in order to destroy the Lord's pure divine inheritance which He gave to His Own as a blessing .... And, were the human being left at the relentless mercy of evil, the Word of God would be destroyed .... yet the Lord will never allow for that! Time and time again His Word will survive everything else, and regardless of how many misguided teachings arise today .... they will fall apart like anything else that is not of divine origin, for the Lord keeps His protective hands over the human race so that God's teachings will penetrate a heart which wants to accept them .... For this reason all the power in the world will be unable to destroy what the Lord created, rather, it will arise again to His glory and for the salvation of the human race.

Amen

The hour of Christ's birth .... Spiritual rebirth ....

B.D. 0227 from December 15th 1937, taken from Book No. 5/6

Dear child .... With tireless patience the Lord refreshes all those who long for Him. His Words shall flow to you and you shall receive every day .... for wise indeed is everyone who draws strength and comfort from His Word. Each one of us endeavours to return you to the state of heartfelt readiness .... such days are indeed necessary, as time and again the Lord wants to take renewed possession of your soul until it is so firmly anchored to the Saviour that it will faithfully stay with Him throughout all dangers and no outside influences will be able to separate your heart from Him. For this reason He demands your devotion time and again and if you remember this you will gladly submit to Him, for the Lord has decided that from now on even the slightest event shall result in spiritual advancement and bring you peace .... For wherever you are heading to, the Lord will protect you and only ever choose what is right .... You are accompanied by His blessing and His Fatherly eye watches over you .... Thus follow our thoughts:

When the Feast of Love draws to an end you will experience a state of strong inner reflection again .... as will every earthly child in search for God .... These are the effects of the Saviours infinite love which pours upon the souls of those who became enlightened as the result of the celebration, who accepted the hour of Christ's birth in their heart .... For these the song of love is sung from above .... It rings in their hearts and leaves a gentle yearning for the Saviour which shall be satisfied .... For the Saviour enters every heart and turns these souls towards eternity. All angels intone the song of love .... and if you carefully listen to this voice in your heart, the hour of Christ's birth will also be your hour of spiritual rebirth .... You will grasp His teachings and live in His love from then on, and thus you will turn to the divine grace which will guide you towards the light. Then your life on earth will be sunny .... sunny in spirit, from this time on you will not rest until you have scaled the path of ascent. My dear child, always make sure that no doubt will cloud your inner being .... receive everything with profound faith, ignore all apprehension and always accept our Words with complete trust .... So much shall be given to you .... in increasingly shorter intervals you shall be informed of how closely the Saviour unites Himself with you through your dedication, how spiritual teachings are continuously being assigned to you .... For only faith is the foundation which the Lord builds His kingdom upon and your holiest striving should be to penetrate the divine teachings ever more deeply .... Listen to the Lord's voice ceaselessly and without hesitation, always prepare a receptive heart for Him, offer your whole will to Him and sincerely implore the Saviour for His grace. Those who hear His Word will join the Lord in their thousands, for His Word is grace, refreshment and nourishment, and no-one can ignore it if he pays attention to the voice of the heart. He who has ears to hear, let him hear .... And anyone who longs for the Lord will hear the voice and accept it in his heart. Thus, bring these lines to a close and prepare yourself .... it is necessary to proclaim the eternal Word, and anyone who is close to the Lord will receive it and proclaim it to the whole world .... In this hour the Lord prepares that which shall be a blessing for everyone who wants to hear Him, and the Saviour recommends that you fight in order to prevail with His grace.

Amen

Easy reception .... Blessings of faith ....

B.D. 0228 from December 16th 1937, taken from Book No. 5/6

Dear child, in the few months of your spiritual work you heard so many Words of love from the Lord and Saviour through us. Every day and every hour you are being admonished to remain in faithful love to your Saviour .... we will guide your thoughts towards spiritual striving whenever it is possible for us .... One day the time will come when you shall pass on the teachings you receive .... Just as you engross yourself in the eternal truths, so will many others around you be listening to the Words and accepting them into their hearts. At this time you will find it easy to receive our thoughts, you will hear them without problems and we will be permitted to instruct constantly, for the Lord has assigned to you the mission that you shall work for Him and His Word .... Every tiny act of love for your fellow siblings will make you happy; you will work with love and actively participate in the Lord's work of redemption. For, once again, the time has come during which the Lord shall stay on earth .... that He dwells in every person's heart which merely calls upon Him .... For there is great adversity amongst people .... countless earthly children do not heed His Word .... the forces of darkness are unleashed and there are many who surrender to these forces. A tough struggle will ensue for these souls .... hence the Lord sends His messengers and tries to penetrate the human heart wherever even the slightest thought for the Saviour stirs .... Many a person remembers the Lord on the Feast of Love .... May his heart not be hardened as yet and receive what his spiritual friends try to convey to him, for the time has come again when only the human being's will needs to turn towards infinity in order to be guided onto the right path by the spiritual forces taking hold of him. Always act and think righteously in all things. After all, your heart should be devoid of all impurities, therefore always make an effort only to shelter love therein .... Suffering and sorrow make people hard, love, however, takes them closer to the Deity. Therefore let only ever love prevail .... And now, my child, continue: The blessings of faith will be received by everyone who openly professes God. Many unexpected obstacles try to obstruct the path towards realisation for such seekers, yet by transcending everything the soul will find its Father, for the human being's thought is able to lift itself into the universe .... it can overcome all obstacles, and as soon as the thought turns towards spiritual things, the human being finds contact with the spiritual beings assigned to him, which are already waiting for his approach and are instantly willing to help him. Although evil forces will also want to take possession of the human soul, the strength of good will become increasingly stronger the more the human will accepts it and in desire for God prays for help. Thus the battle until a person has made the decision of heart will only last for a short time, and if he yields to the inner urge which directs his thoughts upward, spiritual strength will be conveyed to him, for the Lord is always willing to help where it is appealed for .... He will always strengthen the weak, He will always teach the person who asks questions .... and show the misguided the right way .... but the earthly child must always long for the Father, then all blessings will start which the Father has in store for His children and which He gives to them according to need and wise discretion. For this reason everyone is offered the opportunity to receive, and only the foolish will discard this divine grace, His love will grant you everything you pray for ....

Amen

Life on earth for improvement .... Sorrow of spiritual friends ....

B.D. 0229 from December 17th 1937, taken from Book No. 5/6

Dear child, listen to our teachings and confidently hand yourself over to our announcements: The Lord speaks to His Own patiently and without tiring, and allows them to take an insight in God’s given laws, to which all reign and work is subject to in the beyond .... in the whole universe. Earthly life with its battles is reserved for those who, in the care of the heavenly Father, want to improve their soul and have appealed to the Lord for the grace of embodiment for the purpose of attaining perfection. In this stage it is possible for the soul to reach a higher degree of perfection, yet during earthly life the soul often diverts from its actual purpose and either remains at a certain standstill or, in its mental delusion, turns towards the forces of darkness .... The soul enters a state in which, unaware of its actual purpose, it should profess the Father of its own accord .... however, in this stage of embodiment the soul is taken care of by many lovingly concerned spiritual beings which want to influence the earthly child’s thinking and would like to guide it to the heavenly Father in eternity .... And thus many a thought transferred by these spiritual beings to a person points to the eternal Deity, and were the human being fully conscious of his great responsibility as to what consequences his life on earth entails, he would pursue his goal more determinedly .... But would the purpose of life truly be fulfilled therein? .... The human being should have faith .... turn to the Saviour with complete trust .... assimilate everything of a divine nature, always with faith in the Lord .... that is his task for which his life on earth was granted to him .... If you look at the immense number of earthly children who live a completely pointless way of life .... then you will understand why their fate saddens us so much, since in the realisation of divine truth we must watch how much grace was granted to them and how carelessly they bypass it in ignorance of their task in life .... and that is our sorrow .... because wanting to be lovingly active for others, and being rejected, is incredibly sad for us who are responsible for the care of these souls.

The signs admonish everyone .... they all hear the voice of the Lord, but whether they allow it to take effect in them depends entirely on their will .... And the Lord’s mercy always finds ways and means again to convey the knowledge of His will and His love to people .... However, in his ignorance, the human being values himself so highly that he imagines himself to live his life just as safely without the blessings from the Father’s hand .... With this attitude he erects such an inconceivably large obstacle for himself that he has trouble overcoming it and as a result of his delusion does not make use of the divine means of grace which would make life on earth much easier and more beneficial for him. Nevertheless, the divine Father’s mercy and love are infinite .... Great is His wisdom and His kindness, for with new evidence of His working He constantly penetrates humanity’s hearts time and again .... He makes miracles happen to instruct His children .... He constantly pours out His grace upon those earthly children who are inclined towards Him and through these tries to gain those again who, in ignorance, have fallen prey to misguided teachings. The blessing of the Saviour is with all those who work for Him and thus the undertaking of every person defending the Lord will be blessed as well .... And so the Lord also gives to those who are entrusted with the earthly children’s souls .... He lets helpers arise for them and if loving interaction takes place it will also result in the blessing that every good deed produces its fruit .... This is pleasing to the Lord, it enriches the earthly human child’s eternal life .... it has an effect both on earth as well as in the beyond, for not the body but the spirit shall be considered on earth .... the human soul, which came forth from God and travels through life on earth only to come closer to the Lord. At a time like this, the battle for spiritual improvement is twice as necessary .... no being remains at a standstill, there is a far greater risk that it will descend if it does not make an effort by itself to find the path towards ascent .... And in order to put an end to the hostile forces, in order to lead the souls to the path of realisation, you, His servants, must do everything in your power .... for the Lord dwells amongst those of you who fulfil your task with love for the Saviour and are faithfully of service to Him.

Amen

Difficult days for patience – humility – meekness .... Activity of love during the time of grace ....

B.D. 0230 from December 18th 1937, taken from Book No. 5/6

In every hour of need the Lord is ready to offer solace for His Own and if He grants it to you, you are loved by Him .... My child, call upon the Father when you are anxious, He hears every pleading child and lifts them up. Behold, according to God’s wise council you humans must train yourselves to apply self-discipline .... you must learn to patiently accept everything the Lord sends to you, for all that is given to you for the improvement of your soul. If only days of steady tranquillity were granted to you, you would never be able to reach the degree of perfection you need in order to be close to the Saviour. God’s wisdom allows such days to come upon you so that all your virtues shall mature, such as patience .... humility .... gentleness and submission to God’s will. Nothing is further from the Father’s intention than to grant you a difficult fate, yet a far more pleasing reward beckons in the beyond if you cope with such days by training yourselves to attain these virtues .... Everything that appears to make life more difficult can lead to improvement if only you always look up to the Father with love and humbly bow down to His will. And now listen to what we are permitted to proclaim to you today: While everyone on earth is preparing to celebrate the birth of Christ, there is also diligent activity in the beyond for the salvation of humanity. We take an active part in every event on earth .... When mutual love between people has such an effect that one is devoted to the other, their souls remove themselves from the influences of evil powers and many blessings can be expected from this, for love educates people and lets them unconsciously develop their divine striving. And where, in turn, the urge exists to do good deeds and please another person, there will also be the Father’s blessing .... The human being becomes dignified in this time .... where love motivates his actions .... he only ever aims to act according to the advice of the inner voice .... And where you endeavour to please your fellow human being in this time, you can expect the same fate. You, too, will be made happy by the Father’s love .... by His grace you will be permitted to refresh yourselves and His blessing will rest upon you who live a life of love.

And so the spiritual beings in the beyond also strive to exercise their activity of love increasingly more. The strength they emanate lifts untold souls up again and facilitates their work of improving themselves .... If your heart only once dedicates itself to this activity of love, you will be changed forever .... for love is Supreme .... to live in it is bliss and the strength flowing forth from love cannot be assessed by you in earthly life, yet souls are constantly redeemed through love .... And to live life on earth in this strength is an invaluable wealth which you all can attain if you always live in love. Throughout millennia love has never lost its strength, for love is divine and through love every being becomes divine .... If you therefore deem love as the most Supreme, you will be in contact with the eternal Deity .... You will draw ever closer to the Saviour .... you will remain in His love and detach yourselves from the power of darkness. In these days each one of you should be aware of the fact that you live in a time of grace, which can result in blessings above blessings if you consider love as the highest law. Each heart becomes more easily accessible to God’s appeal and only hardened people reject it and let the days pass by without inner reflection .... Yet in the Holy Night many a heart experiences inner grace, it opens itself, if only for a short time, and listens to the voice which speaks to it from above. Then it would only require an ardent prayer to the heavenly Father in order to provide him with the strength of love .... our Lord and Saviour is constantly close to His earthly children .... He directs and leads each person and seeks to come to their aid .... just a little faith in Him and His protecting hand will guide you right .... Oh, we so hope that these days of loving activity amongst people will exert a favourable influence .... so that they will turn to the Saviour .... and that they may also receive love from Him in the same way as they love others. Look deeply into your hearts .... does not every child long for its Father? Thus, also regard yourselves as God’s children in order to be lovingly accepted by the Father, so that you may enter into His kingdom.

Amen

Task in the beyond .... Strength of love ....

B.D. 0231 from December 19th 1937, taken from Book No. 5/6

Blessed are those who are of good will .... In your heart of hearts you hear the Saviour’s Words that the hour of their salvation is close to all those who love God. Every child which sincerely entrusts itself to the Father will be received by the host of angels .... it will be protected by them until it enters the Father’s kingdom .... In place of earthly existence a state of complete detachment will ensue .... in its search for the infinite Deity the soul will suddenly realise everything .... it will find itself in a secluded place and will only feel a seemingly inexplicable consuming yearning for the Saviour. This is how the Lord will announce His presence .... and in awareness of its former activity the soul will become conscious of its new activity in the beyond, for it will then continue the striving for perfection it had started on earth and thereby unite itself ever more lovingly with the Saviour .... The goal it will then be striving for will be so extraordinarily exhilarating .... it will promise many blessings for the surrounding souls if they are still less advanced for eternity .... it will make the soul itself very happy, for its indwelling love will motivate it to constantly work for the kingdom of God. Not even the slightest measure of love will be lost; it will comfort the seeking and wandering spiritual beings which draw the strength to improve themselves from the love of the more advanced spiritual beings. Throughout millennia souls are yearning to be redeemed, untold beings are waiting for the time that they are given love and which you on earth value far too little .... The strength of divine love .... will be recognised by you in the beyond as the most Supreme .... It is very much to your advantage if you dedicate your every action to the Saviour, then you willingly hand yourselves over to His care and everything will be a blessing for you. Give generously and from the bottom of your heart .... but only ever give with love if you want to be acceptable in the Father’s eyes .... And thus you will bring a large measure of good deeds into eternity .... and the profusion of light emanated by these brightly shining deeds will make you very happy and you will realise how much strength comes forth from love, how it will lift you into regions of heavenly joy. From then on your work will become an infinitely enjoyable activity, for you will not rest until you also have shown other souls the path to the Lord .... Escorting the wandering beings to the Lord and leading His children to the Father will be regarded by you as your task in the beyond, and the Lord will be with you .... at all times .... and you are loved by Him .... God cherishes all beings .... no human being on earth can comprehend God’s love and goodness or he would never do anything that might sadden Him .... yet the measure of love He gives to His Own is inexhaustible and will last for all eternity.

Amen

Ludendorff’s death ....

B.D. 0232 from December 20th 1937, taken from Book No. 5/6

‘Ye shall know them by their fruits .... ’ My dear child, if you are of good will you must also listen to the inner voice admonishing you. You won’t always find it easy, yet your constant effort will take you to the goal .... Despite all temptations you must succeed in approaching all living creations with love .... leave the judgment as to who deserves love or not to the Father. You shall be blessed by Him, and you will never regret it .... nevertheless, you must always remain pure of heart and if you find it difficult, then pray. You humans have no idea how easily you can fall .... evil is constantly lurking around you and tries to enter your thoughts, in that case the human being is pulled back and forth and easily loses his bond with God .... Take pity upon every being and appeal to your heavenly Father that He, too, shall take pity .... The guilt is great .... yet God’s love is greater .... Behold, my child, we advise you like this so that you will free yourself from the idea that your judgment is right .... Anyone who has concluded his life with faith in God is also entitled to the Father’s merciful love, and do you know whether God’s voice has not entered his heart? .... Behold, the Father takes continuous care of the earthly children .... It is incumbent upon His will when they complete their lives, and the love of heaven wrestles for every soul until the very end. Anyone who still commends himself into God’s hands will receive His blessing. For this reason you should also approach the Lord with good will and pray for each other and you will emerge victorious from the battle with the opponent. Understand the Lord’s Words correctly: Whatever you did for the least of My brothers, you did for Me .... and if you can rise above yourselves and love your enemies, you will offer this love to your Lord and Saviour, for it is His will that you shall love each other, and the Lord looks into your heart. You shall think of the poor souls without looking at the person .... you shall grant them the grace of prayer .... you shall leave judgment in the Father’s hand .... Only the opponent can entirely disassociate himself .... for God is love, and for as long as the Lord lets His children live on earth the opportunity for realisation is given to the earthly child .... Many a struggle with hostile forces will certainly seem to last forever, yet the power of love is stronger. God, in His love, has therefore wisely arranged that, in the hour of death, the human being sends his thoughts back to the time of his youth and childhood and these impressions often enlighten the spirit instantly .... he recognises the Deity’s working and, if he leaves earthly life with this knowledge, he will not be hopelessly left at the mercy of evil forces .... Consequently, do not deprive this soul of love .... don’t let it go short, for it will suffer badly enough as soon as it becomes aware of its situation .... The Lord will give you strength to overcome yourself.

Amen

Faith – Hope – Love .... Concern for the weak and misguided ....

B.D. 0233 from December 21st 1937, taken from Book No. 5/6

Behold, my child, we all want you to succeed in detaching your heart from everything that might impede your path of ascent. The Lord always has His teachings ready for you, and if you make an effort to receive His Words eagerly, you will never lose the divine grace .... for one thing will always remain with you .... You long for the Father, and thus your striving will never be in vain. If the divine flame, which shall enlighten you, ignites your heart, not one day in your life will pass by without sincerely sending thoughts up to your Saviour and Redeemer, and then every thought will carry so many blessings within itself .... Faith, hope and love will unite .... for faith lifts your thoughts up to Him .... you may always hope for His grace and will always have His love .... Oh, my child, complete the work you have started .... so many things will still be offered to you and what you receive will make you happy .... The strength that flows from you as a result of your work will continue to fortify many earthly children which hitherto had lived an empty and insecure life. If the Saviour conveys this to you it happens again because of love for all those people, since the Saviour seeks to win all of them over in order to prepare the kingdom of God for them .... Every being is dear to God and, in order to save them from ruin, He is constantly concerned for the weak and the erring. He noticeably guides them in every hour of adversity by drawing their attention to eternity, and then He will let His teachings be conveyed to them, for the Saviour knows what is right for everyone in order to win all hearts. If He therefore conveys His Words through you, it will ease their steps on the path to eternity, and the more the human being’s affirmative attitude towards the eternal God grows, the more he will detach himself from the power of darkness. He would like everyone to realise .... that they prepare their own eternal life .... that they will also have to carry the responsibility for their every action or inaction in earthly life. Everyone should abide by His grace .... after all, he can so easily acquire it by merely fervently appealing for it and it will be granted to him unabatedly. And if you are instructed time and again that you will acquire the kingdom of heaven if you remain in love .... then you should all heed this wake-up call: Love one another .... don’t act unkindly towards each other but always try to give love, then your life will be blessed and you will open your heart for everything that comes from the Father .... God Himself is love, after all, and God will always be close to you if you live in love. And God has placed the longing for love in every human heart, and therefore love shall also redeem you and one day provide you with eternal bliss.

Amen

These proclamations are a sign of divine love ....

B.D. 0234 from December 22nd 1937, taken from Book No. 5/6

Thus the days which came upon you for your trial are coming to an end. It was a beneficial moment when the realisation of your own weakness arose in your heart, for only this can help you to approach the Lord again in all sincerity. The Saviour wants to give all His love to every one of you, for this reason you will be pushed to Him time and again through a sense of abandonment, for the Lord can only give when you feel sincere longing for Him. So many duties and tasks still lay ahead of you .... it requires a willing heart to ‘hand oneself over to the Lord’ in order to mature fully .... only then will you find calm and inner peace. His admonition gently sounds in your heart ‘Remain faithful to Me .... even in the hour of adversity .... ’ for the Lord wants to educate you in three ways .... He wants to gain you for the eternal kingdom .... He wants to convey divine wisdoms to you and teach you to always follow the path of love .... For only in this way will you also find the path to Him. According to human calculation no connection exists between Heaven and Earth and this, too, is an immensely sublime act of grace .... which testifies to God’s love for the earthly children, that every being can speak to the heavenly Father at any time and express their concerns to Him .... then the Father will also deem you worthy of an answer .... if, for the sake of your soul’s salvation, you beseech Him for this .... None of you must ever doubt His goodness and mercy .... it has always applied to all beings since the beginning of the world and will last for all eternity. This is why the Father has repeatedly made it clear that even the smallest being may turn to Him .... it will always be accepted because the Father loves each and every one of His children. You may always ask and your wishes will always be granted if they benefit the salvation of your souls .... for the Lord wants to prepare for you an eternal kingdom .... and if you desire this, it will be granted to you. Yet your task consists of improving your soul and, for this purpose, the heavenly Father wants to provide you with an insight into His divine working .... For ever more earthly children fall prey to misguided teachings; they distance themselves from the pure truth increasingly more and want to acknowledge the teachings of our Lord Jesus Christ increasingly less .... And thus their souls suffer distress as a result, for on his own .... without Christ’s help, the human being will never be able to reach a degree of perfection .... The Saviour is so close to every person yet the human being, in his delusion, does not recognise His love and is in the process of completely losing himself to the powers of darkness .... however, for the sake of their salvation God reveals Himself to people in an extraordinary way. In your present state you will never be able to fully appreciate what He offers you through this grace .... you can only pray that you will continue to receive this grace until you are firm in faith and your love for the Saviour unites you with Him, so that you will be protected against all attacks from evil. As long as the Saviour unites Himself with you through these proclamations, all those of you who accept them in your heart will be well sheltered in His love and the path of ascent will be clearly laid out to you so that you cannot go astray .... Become worthy of this grace .... remain faithful to the Lord and redeem yourselves through the love which the Lord preaches to you through His Word. Dedicate your heart to Him and, if you always and continuously listen to the voice within, you will all remain blessed and the divine grace will flow to you until the end of your lives.

Amen

Trust in God .... The blessing of prayer ....

B.D. 0235 from December 23rd 1937, taken from Book No. 5/6

In a few days you will receive a proclamation which will bring peace to your heart, and in this hour you will once again experience the Father’s grace. You will all be safe in His heart if the suffering on earth makes you take refuge in Him .... He will lead you ever closer towards eternity if you engross yourselves in profound prayer and enter into a heartfelt dialogue with the Father, Who is always willing to comfort and lift up the weak and the disheartened, who faithfully confide in Him. Draw your strength from the Saviour’s Words: ‘Ask, and it shall be given to you .... knock, and it shall be opened unto you .... ’ And thus you can always lead a joyful life, for One is watching over you, Who will safeguard you if you merely entrust yourselves to His divine protection. People are lacking this faithful consciousness of being protected by the Lord .... Consequently, you must suffer on earth, for with this faith in God’s ever-ready willingness to help you would experience far less suffering and worry in earthly life .... As long as you pray from the bottom of your heart you will not be abandoned .... you can entrust yourselves to the Father’s guiding hand without worry and need not be fainthearted .... Your soul will only be granted peace when you have managed to gain firm faith in God, for one cannot be without the other. The Lord has so often provided you with the evidence of His love and goodness .... how can you doubt it time after time .... for this is what you will be doing if you allow yourselves to become depressed by your daily worries. Simply lift your hands to the Lord with faith .... and you will always gain relief from your worries. If you then look back at the end of your days, you will regret that you had not entrusted yourselves enough to the Lord .... You can achieve far more if you only ever unite with Him, Whose love applies to you all .... He constantly admonishes you and would like to take possession of your soul .... that it should wholeheartedly turn to Him .... yet you humans rarely listen to this wake-up call. Otherwise you would not go through life in suffering and sorrow. You will bear everything joyfully and with ease, and the inner voice will speak Words of comfort to you even in your adversities if you always look up to your Saviour .... Dear child, love and trust for your Saviour must be so firmly anchored in your heart that you will be able to gladly endure everything the Father sends to you .... which will serve you for improvement .... If you require being comforted, then appeal for it to the Father and He will grant your prayer .... yet do not turn your heart away from Him, who alone can provide help .... Protect yourself through prayer from thoughts which are bleak and turned away from God .... a deep and heartfelt sigh to the Father will give His grace to you, this contact with Him alone will already release you from the powers of dark forces .... for every resentful thought .... every unkind feeling is their influence. Yet the strongest weapon is always prayer. You cannot receive the blessing of prayer often enough .... and in order to partake in all blessings it is enough to send an ardent plea to the Father, Who will never abandon His children. Therefore, do not let any day pass you by without sincerely commending yourselves to the Father .... then you will be protected against all evil influences, and you will triumph over everything and work for the glory of God.

Amen

Light is life .... Influence of God's messengers .... Christmas Eve ....

B.D. 0236 from December 24th 1937, taken from Book No. 5/6

Blessed is he who accepts My Word and longingly turns his heart towards Me .... My dear child .... always do your work in My grace and remain faithful to Me. Behold, wanting to serve the Lord with ceaseless devotion will bring you close to the heavenly gates, and your desire will become ever more heartfelt, for My love will not let go of you .... In every creature you see God's living creation .... and every one of God's living creations is in turn part of the eternal light .... only light is life .... therefore strive for light if you want to live in eternity .... The divine light descended to earth to bring enlightenment to those who lived in darkness .... but in My Father's kingdom the eternal light will shine for all of you eternally and you will not need to fear any darkness .... therefore strive on earth for the divine light .... Prepare your heart for the Saviour during this night so that He will find admission in it .... All your spiritual friends want to help you so that everything you set out to do will be for the glory of God and beneficial to you ....

My child, during this night many messengers travel the land .... far and wide they seek to fulfil the Saviour's will by directing people's thoughts to the hour of Christ's birth and thereby trying to make them receptive again for His teachings and the purpose of His life on Earth .... Our every effort aims to create a spiritual connection again between the earthly children and the spiritual beings surrounding them, so that we can help them make contact with the heavenly Father .... the Saviour .... once more. In this night many a thought turns towards heaven .... Oh, if only we were able to penetrate their hearts so deeply that they would never let go of these thoughts again, that they might start to turn their thoughts into this direction every hour of every day! .... How much pleasure would we be able to give to our dear Saviour, and how beneficial it would be for people's souls .... And the grace of God the Lord would always bless their striving and give them the strength to work at improving themselves from now on in order to advance their soul in this life .... Often we can do nothing but watch how the path of ascent becomes ever more difficult for earthly children .... how they alienate themselves from everything that is divine and adopt attitudes which are not in harmony with the teachings of our Lord Jesus Christ .... We see and are unable to help because none of these human children are calling to us for help .... our intention to influence their thoughts is in vain, they reject everything, and at such times every effort to help the earthly children remains fruitless .... Yet at this moment people's hearts are often accessible to such emotions .... it is a blessed time when so many a person's thoughts unconsciously drift into spiritual realms .... and wherever we perceive it we are instantly ready to guide these thoughts further and to ignite a tiny spark of realisation in their souls. We wish to guide souls to the Lord .... and bring the light of realisation to people .... We would like to snatch the souls from darkness and place them into a state of blissful happiness by imparting to them the realisation of the divine truth .... so that they will never again walk in spiritual darkness ....

Amen

Sun .... Divine radiance .... Light and love ....

B.D. 0237 from December 25th 1937, taken from Book No. 5/6

Oh, my child, if you just always hand yourself over to your Saviour without hesitation peace will enter your heart and you will be released from all difficulties burdening you. You shall lift yourself up by His love .... it is not the Lord's will that you should lose heart .... And neither does He want your spirit to grow tired, therefore He gives you comfort and strength through His Words again .... All reign and activity in nature originates from God's immense love .... it is like a constant emanation of life-creating light which influences all being and becoming on Earth and in the whole of the universe. And in order to shape this becoming according to God's wise will, the Lord constantly lets the light shine forth .... If the infinity of the cosmos scares you and you become aware of your own smallness you should nevertheless not allow doubts to arise in God's love and His care for every single being. Just as the light of the Sun illuminates the earth, as it warms and animates everything that exists on earth, as it enables the plants to flourish .... and provides brightness and warmth to all living creations on earth .... that is how countless other solar bodies emanate their light, so that the whole of the universe is subject to divine radiance and the light will never ever go out .... for the heavenly Father Himself is the light from Whom all life originates .... The light is never-ending and never-ending is love .... Both are the epitome of God and will exist for all eternity .... The Lord in His infinite love and goodness created His beings in light, and therefore every being will also strive towards the light, and anyone who lives in light travels the path of ascent. Anyone who turns to the Lord with the desire for divine enlightenment will be surrounded by bright light, for alone the will to return to the original state will bring you closer to it .... Every seedling tries to break through the soil and turn towards the light .... In the animal life the desire for light is equally predominant .... should therefore the human being want to remain in darkness and not turn towards the Father of all light?

And yet, the human being has to endure extensive battles against hostile forces which would like to permanently extinguish his desire for light in him .... their aim is to enshroud the human being's spirit .... the soul .... in utter darkness and to conceal the true purpose of life from it in order to gain greater control over people and to remove them from the sphere of light, which they unconsciously strive towards, and to pull them down into eternal darkness .... God's love and care constantly concerns these earthly children who are endangered by the darkness. The human being himself is a creature without any will of his own once he becomes subject to the control of this darkness .... Without divine help he would never ever be able to release himself from this control, this is why so many spiritual forces are placed by his side so that no earthly child will be left to this fate without warning. Just as the opponent influences the earthly children on one side .... so the love of noble spiritual beings influences them on the other side and fights for the soul .... It is easy for the earthly child if only it slightly hands itself over to the virtuous forces, for the power of good .... the power of love, is incomparably stronger than the power of evil .... However, the human being is often so deluded .... his will, which should direct him towards the heavenly Father, often fails precisely in this instance and, vice versa, is again so strong to accept without second thought what the adversary offers the person .... Hence it is also his own responsibility, since he uses his strength and will, which he received to advance his soul, in order to fall away from God ....

You, my child, are needed by the Lord .... labourers, who are willing to be of service and devoted to the Lord, shall help those who are weak to take the right path and, through the teachings of our Lord Jesus Christ, find their way back to the Father .... It is extremely valuable that the knowledge of the pure truth is conveyed to people .... for due to the longstanding conflict between the churches the teaching of Christ was presented to people in a way that they barely want to accept it these days .... They no longer consider it a heartfelt guiding principle offered to them by God's love, but very often merely believe it to be a traditional, humanly created word of instruction which scarcely touches their heart and which they just no longer take seriously .... but much rather would like to reject. This is why the Father wants to impart His Word to them in a new form, so that they will perceive the divine love therein and might open their hearts to the voice from above. The Saviour dwells amongst people again .... He will always be in the midst of you who proclaim His teachings .... He will help you to choose the right Words .... so that you yourselves put into practise what you are teaching .... And thus His Word will penetrate people's hearts again and they all, in turn, will lovingly help each other .... for everyone shall become enlightened, and every being shall release itself from the darkness as soon as they receive just a tiny ray of divine light, since the striving for light will continue for all eternity ....

Amen

Beings in the beyond .... Appeal for help ....

B.D. 0238 from December 26th 1937, taken from Book No. 5/6

We salute you in the name of the Father and inform you according to His will .... All beings wishing to be in contact with you are gathered around you .... and thus the Lord in His kindness has decided to grant their desire as it is the Feast of Love .... The following beings are permitted to avail themselves of your strength and to speak through you. An old father, his spirit has already been with you for a long time .... appeals to you not to forget his son, who stayed in your vicinity but had to conclude his earthly course of life. He frequently comes to visit you and follows your striving .... and yet he cannot understand why he is unable to contact you .... During his time on earth he refused to be taught and never thought of the hour of death, so although he was recalled by the Lord, his spirit still constantly remains in the proximity of earth, he has still not gained any realisation about his task in the beyond. His father is concerned for him and appeals to you to pray for him. Grant him this wish .... And now someone comes to you who wanted to speak to you before and did not give you his name .... so many beings are present here, they are called to you on account of your thoughts; however, try to hand yourself over to us and only accept what we give you .... Keep this in mind .... The latter takes an active interest in your work and would like to assure you again that you can help many people with it. He turns to you and always remains close to you, so that you will suddenly feel when he pushes himself into your thoughts. He has no problems with your environment, for all the beings are dear to him .... He would like to make his presence known to you all and yet is sorry that he cannot make himself understood. However, when your thoughts are with him, he will try to make himself noticeable to you if the Father gives him the strength to do so .... Today he just wants to greet you and request your prayer .... But someone wants to speak to you himself and we are happy to let him do so .... ‘Dear friend, your efforts are a comfort to us and give us hope, for we need the love of people on earth because we failed to make contact with the Lord during our lifetime on earth. Oh, how wrong was our life on Earth .... Now we have a difficult battle and we are so grateful to you because your kind thoughts, your prayers, help us so much .... We depend on your love, for this reason we constantly gather around you, for the Father grants us the grace of being allowed to take part in your work .... ‘Thanks be to the heavenly Father, for through your work we now recognise our task and eagerly devote ourselves to it .... spurred on by your spiritual work, your struggle and activity and strengthened by your prayer in which you remember us. It is a blessing for all of us who are surrounding you, for we have thereby also gained an insight into the working of higher spiritual beings which approach us with so much love, and we are permitted to be present with you at every contact in order to learn ourselves how we should accomplish our work in the beyond in order to ascend ever higher.’ Now you shall still hear something that will please you: All beings in the beyond are instructed to support you, consequently, we, being capable of helping you, will not leave your soul in distress and you will always be surrounded by a group of people who were close to you on earth and even today still gladly stay with you when it involves protecting you against all dangers threatening your soul. Therefore always remember all your loved ones who passed over before you with affection .... they are now always around you and beg God that He may bless you in order to be forever united with you. Grant them your prayer too, for one shall always take care of the other with love.

Amen

Activity in the beyond .... Effect on the uninformed ....

B.D. 0239 from December 27th 1937, taken from Book No. 5/6

Everyone will receive what he requires .... Believe me, my child, it is entirely up to you .... if you spend your days with trust in God you will, time and again, have the opportunity to find the Saviour and all admonitions and instructions offered to you will always encourage you to refine your spirit and soul. Don’t give in to any negative notions .... always fight against them and try to treat everyone with kindness, then you will find it increasingly easier to master such days, which can easily set you back. Every step of the way needs to be overcome .... no-one will ever reach the goal without effort and only constant battle leads to victory. You will find it far more satisfying when you have succeeded and, full of love and devotion, turn to the Saviour again .... the more sincerely you pray to Him, the stronger the Lord’s strength and help will be. Never lose confidence and fight against spiritual lethargy. Dear child, once again we want to inform you about the activity in the beyond: In the world over there, which is still closed to you, many souls are lingering in a state which they find difficult to separate from. This is always the case when they have neither realised on earth nor in their present state that they are able to change this state for themselves. As long as this awareness has not yet arisen in them, they helplessly and idly wander through the universe .... with constant longing for the Earth and the environment they had left behind .... and it often takes a long time until they finally realise that they can and must make an effort.

And once again we want to point out to you that these earthbound beings are often near you. Until they have grasped the meaning and value of your spiritual work, they must observe much .... and you are constantly surrounded by such straying souls. This alone should be an incentive for you not to slacken, and your work of improving yourself is also watched by them and does not remain without an impression .... Once they have grasped the richly blessed effect of the connection from the beyond to earth, the strong urge to take part in this will also awaken in them .... to help wherever possible, and they will longingly turn towards every ray of light in the hope of reaching a brighter environment which is permeated by light. This will always be easier for those who had not entirely opposed spiritual thoughts; however, how many regarded everything of a spiritual nature as strange on earth .... how many constantly opposed these issues in a negative way? It will often take a long time in the beyond before they gain realisation and we are very pleased if such souls follow your activity as well .... albeit for the time being they do not avail themselves of any practical application. Behold, my child, you must therefore faithfully persevere for love of the Saviour Who takes loving care of every being, of every spiritually dark and straying soul .... A single human being with good will and love for the Saviour can bring infinitely many blessings to such beings .... he gains much grace for himself .... he can help people on earth .... he shows countless poor souls the right path .... They did not succeed in the valley of earth, but every soul is so grateful now for the help they receive from the valley of earth because their struggle in the beyond is so much harder than on earth.

Amen

God and nature .... Consciously working at attaining perfection ....

B.D. 0240 from December 28th 1937, taken from Book No. 5/6

My child, write down what the Lord in His love has prepared for you .... Life as a whole is based on a sequence of divinely devised lawful processes which you simply describe as nature .... each individual stage of development is, so to speak, a process of lawful course of action which should make you recognise the Creator, the whole regularity must be subject to a will .... and particularly life in nature testifies to divine influence .... Everything that was created around you .... is a miracle. It is a constantly upwards pointing event which you earthly human beings merely allow to bypass you ineffectively because, as a result of its ever repeating regularity, you lack all understanding for such miracles. Divine will alone animates everything and ordains that these miracles will continually take place in the world, yet the human being, who should tremble at the sight of these miracles and every day look up in reverence to the Creator of all of this, tries to find an explanation which is more appropriate to his life, to his thinking .... and uses the word ‘nature’ instead of ‘God’ .... yet the meaning is the same .... the only difference is that he acknowledges with this word what eternally repeats itself in the universe but not the intervention of a higher Power in the fate of every individual being .... and that a connection can be established between every, even the smallest, being and this higher Power by using its own will .... All this is not acknowledged by them even though they forever observe the events in nature and must acknowledge them .... This also explains the diversity in faith .... The personal intervention .... the help given by God’s love as a result of heartfelt prayer .... the cautioning of unbelieving earthly children .... all this they don’t want to see .... They only believe what they can see every day and therefore cannot deny .... for in daily occurrences and in the lawful repetitions of all natural events they cannot acknowledge that a higher will is at the bottom of it .... that everything has been arranged in this way for a specific purpose and that this purpose is once again merely the perfection of each individual being. Thus, the human being only ever recognises what he can see and touch, but where faith should help him overcome his lack of knowledge he rejects it. Nevertheless, in regular intervals a continuous growth and decay can be observed in nature .... and the human being can expect exactly the same .... Is the thought therefore not far more likely that the divine Being, Who is in charge of all events in nature, also takes care of the human being and that his growth, his development, is likewise subject to His will? .... And if the human being is guided by a divine will .... why does he then maintain his opinion that a connection with this Divinity is impossible for him? .... Only when he consciously looks for this connection will an aspiration towards perfection be conceivable .... Making a conscious effort in order to advance higher is the actual purpose of earthly existence .... and precisely this consciousness is lacking in the earthly children. For this reason they so easily reject the gift from Heaven .... the Word of God .... for this reason they find it so difficult to acknowledge something that deviates from daily events and yet is so easy to believe if only they would bear in mind that not a single being is capable of shaping its life from beginning to end of its own will .... it will, time after time, be subject to strokes of fate .... it will always sense the intervention of a higher Power, even if it tries to deny the same. For is any human being capable of protecting himself from such misfortunes? If only you would think about it, you would have to waver in your conviction that you are the sole master of your destiny .... in that case you must also acknowledge the eternal Deity, Who holds your life and fate in His hands .... and then you must also believe .... only then will you be certain that you are subject to divine will and also feel like children of this Deity .... You will take refuge in prayer .... which unites the child with the Father and also experience the blessings of prayer on yourselves .... and only then will you consciously work at attaining your perfection.

Amen

God's blessing gained, all is obtained.

B.D. 0241 from December 29th 1937, taken from Book No. 5/6

And once again we want to speak to you in accordance with the Lord: All those of you who live on earth shall be in agreement with each other in His name. And listen, as before .... Each one shall be offered what he needs, for the Lord knows where it is needed and is a loving and caring Father for His children. Therefore pay attention: Everything depends on His blessing .... If you truly want to penetrate these Words, the Father will give you a parable, for He endeavours to write His Words deep into your heart .... A father allows his child to leave with his blessing .... and so the child goes on its way always feeling that it is accompanied by the father’s love .... therefore it is never abandoned, even in its sadness. All those of you who appeal to the heavenly Father for His blessing likewise share His immense love, for if the Father gives his blessing He gives you everything you need. And so you should always pray to the Father in Heaven in order for Him to bless you so that you can walk through life with riches .... you will not be lacking anything that will benefit the salvation of your soul, the Lord’s love will be with you every day and you will feel sheltered in this love. And if earthly burdens then depress you, if earthly suffering is imposed upon you, it will not frighten you, for the Father’s blessing protects you from all evil .... your soul will emerge unscathed from these bleak days on earth and will emanate bright light even during dark days which are sent to you purely for your soul’s progress. If you pray for the Father’s blessing it will result in an unimaginable abundance of grace, for you will constantly receive the strength to work at improving yourselves and this work will never be unsuccessful, instead, it will take you closer to the goal, you will become perfect and take the path through earthly life according to your task. Praying for God’s blessing means appealing for His love, and this will be granted to you now and forever.

Amen

Divine truth .... Science ....

B.D. 0242 from December 30th 1937, taken from Book No. 5/6

Accept what you are offered, recognise God’s will and be careful never to lose your trust in the Lord .... your love for the Saviour and His divine grace. The arguments about the divine truth will be endless and the one who does not desire divine knowledge or presumes that he can uncover the great mystery by himself will always be the loser .... If he is to be successful he must beseech God for enlightenment and it will certainly be granted to him. The human being can investigate earthly subjects, yet regardless of how much he achieves, he will still not come closer to divine truth, for one is entirely separate from the other .... It is only accessible to the one whose heart detaches itself from everything of an earthly nature .... who considers nothing else worth striving for than the acceptance of eternal truths. Everything on earth will seem distant and unreal to him, and he will search full of yearning for the profundity of divine truth and be constantly permitted to receive it from the Father’s hand, but only if he turns his heart solely to the Father .... So many attempts have already been made to penetrate this region .... and yet, if only those with great knowledge at their disposal were successful .... if they alone held the key to truth in their hands because of their knowledge .... it would not benefit humanity .... God has prepared His kingdom for all people, and were the Lord not to judge the earthly children’s heart but only their knowledge instead, barely a tiny fraction would acquire His kingdom .... And if God the Lord has ordained that all those of good will can acquire His kingdom, then you are, after all, offered far more than only to serve the sciences on earth .... All of you are aspirants, and the onus rests entirely upon you as to whether you will reach the Father .... indeed, science is more likely an obstacle to bliss .... On earth it makes you great and powerful, yet often very unsuitable to contact the Lord as a small and humble person .... and how can you enter the Father’s kingdom without His help? .... You only ever focus on the one goal of ascertaining the nature of Creation .... you want to penetrate what is closed to you and inform the human race of it .... even though you have so little knowledge yourselves, because you still have not understood the simplest fact .... that you are small, if the Lord does not help you .... that you will never understand the meaning and purpose of the universe with your own effort .... You can only come closer to the true knowledge when you have found the path to God .... And then you will gladly relinquish all fame on earth, for then you will know that all striving for earthly things is worthless .... and that all earthly knowledge will not bring you closer to the eternal truth, for God distributes this only to those who desire deep down in their hearts to behold and experience God .... The will to reach God elevates you far above all science .... Where others make a lifelong effort to solve the mysteries of Creation, you will often receive it overnight .... providing you have the desire and allow yourselves to be instructed by the divine Teacher.

Amen

Bear death in mind ....

B.D. 0243 from December 31th 1937, taken from Book No. 5/6

The Lord will destroy whatever opposes Him, and resurrect those who remain in the Lord .... My dear child, it is the Lord’s will that you , who lives in accordance with the Lord on earth, shall receive now and forever, for His Word shall be taught again on earth, in the way it is given to you all from the Lord. Humanity must not waver in its faith, it shall be guided back to the pure teaching of Christ, and ways will be shown to you, which would be impossible for you to travel on your own .... but guided by God you will overcome all obstacles. Behold, mindful of His suffering on earth, the Saviour advises you to accept everything He imposes upon you and what He has destined for you .... He will always stand by your side, and in every adversity you will feel His closeness and never be abandoned; nevertheless, you must make an effort to gain firm faith in God, then everything will be easy for you and for love of the Saviour you will be strong and able to endure everything patiently. His divine love offers you reliable protection, even if it sometimes seems as if you are at risk of being harmed, you are nevertheless so faithfully sheltered under His guard that you must not worry. Therefore struggle and pray incessantly for firm faith and profound trust in God, so that you will be able to resist everything that threatens you from outside .... And with complete confidence write this down today: Bear death in mind .... yet this thought should never scare you .... for the hour of death can be shaped by yourselves into a time of immense happiness if it merely signifies to you the transition from this life into a radiantly bright beyond .... In that case, what is there to fear? You will leave all earthly suffering behind and enter a kingdom where all tribulations are taken from you and where eternal life close to the Saviour is prepared for you .... But woe to you if the hour of death does not mean your release from earthly anguish .... If you leave the valley of earth only to wander about in the dark .... burdened by your earthly guilt and incapable of leaving this darkness .... Therefore be warned before this hour arrives .... Bear the hour in mind and realise that you alone create this or that state on earth .... that your life on earth is the decisive factor as to whether the hour of death is the gate into eternal happiness or the entrance into darkness.

Consider how much more difficult it then will be for you to turn towards the light, and how many opportunities you still have on earth now to easily attain the state through which you will be granted a blissful death .... And if, for once, you spend some thought on the fact that you don’t know how much time you are still granted on earth, then be grateful to the heavenly Father for every warning He conveys to you time after time through his messengers. Consider this and strive .... constantly strive, but only towards the goal of living your earthly life for the benefit of your soul .... and conduct yourselves on earth such that you are ready at any hour to be recalled by the Father. You will enter a new life .... make sure that it will radiate for you in heavenly beauty, that you may receive from the Father’s hand everything the Father has prepared for you in eternity .... but woe, if you exchange your life on earth with an existence in the beyond which will require an immense effort to leave and where you, in sorrow and self inflicted agony, remorsefully remember the unused time on earth .... Therefore, pay attention to the admonitions which are sent to you and always bear death in mind, which can approach you any time .... and sincerely appeal to the Father that He may take mercy upon you and enlighten you before it is too late .... and He will answer your prayer.

Amen

Reception of one’s own strength .... without outside influence ....

B.D. 0244 from January 2nd 1938, taken from Book No. 5/6

My dear child, whenever you are guided by My Word you will be protected from all error. Behold, it all depends on how your soul assimilates the content .... When I send My messengers to you, they teach you on My instruction, and by no means should you become agitated .... it is for this reason that I have so far provided you with additional spiritual knowledge .... so that you will believe .... Your willingness to serve Me enables you to accept messages which correspond to the teachings of My servants on earth. There are ceaseless arguments within many communities about the absolute truth .... each one believes that it corresponds to the heavenly Father’s will if it purely advocates its own truth and treats everything else with hostility .... and that is regression for you humans. Why don’t you want to understand that all of you will arrive at the Father if you agree with each other in My name .... And so I give My Own the teachings all over again, and anyone who accepts them will act in the right way .... After all, they do not go up against the teachings every community lays claim to for itself .... My child, if you are enlightened .... if you are granted the grace to receive My Words, then hold on to them and do not divert from this path. It will give you infinitely more, you will be protected and can hand yourself over to everything without worry .... You are safeguarded by your spiritual friends and not at risk of including errors in your writings through the influence of other forces. Therefore I bless your work and help you, and every time you call Me, My grace will flow to you. For My servants shall be willing and only let their actions be guided by Me .... And if I bring you into contact with other forces on earth, then it is only for you to learn to differentiate between them .... that I have given every individual a different task .... and in that way you shall become aware of the nature and magnitude of your task .... For the doctrine I want to proclaim through you shall be pure and clear .... and so your thinking, too, must remain pure and clear .... unaffected by outside forces .... so that your writing will be an entirely spiritual product given to you with love from above .... So always remain in My blessing .... in My will .... trustingly place everything into the heavenly Father’s hands. Since you were given the task of receiving the Words of the Lord, you will also receive the strength to write the Lord’s spiritual messages down, for you would doubt all other Words you might receive under the influence of other forces .... Behold, My child, your faith will become far more profound and heartfelt and you will feel My blessing as long as you offer your heart to Me .... It is an incomprehensible blessing being allowed to receive the Words of the Lord, and one day you will understand why I have chosen you for this task .... continue to receive the Word of God in purity of soul .... the more sincerely you desire it, the more beautiful and profound wisdom I have waiting for you. For ‘Ask, and it shall be given to you .... ’ And now turn to the heavenly Father with complete trust, His blessing will be upon you and His love will guide you the right way.

Amen

B.D. 0245 from January 2nd 1938, taken from Book No. 5/6

Thanks be to the Lord of Heaven and Earth Who directs every person’s destiny .... and on His instructions the transmissions are made so that you shall be permeated by love for the Saviour .... so that your prayer shall be granted .... In your love for the Saviour your heart shall make heartfelt contact with all spiritual beings. Everything you were hitherto unreceptive to shall come alive in you, and only now will you recognise the Lord and Saviour’s profound love, and even more humbly will you bow to His will .... As a result of your devotion the Lord was able to take abode in your heart, yet in order to make it worthy of His Divinity you must first come aglow in sacred love for Him .... My child, every Word He sends to you tells of His great love .... yet He also wants to posses your love and so places His Word deep into your heart, because you will accept the Words which God gives for the benefit of all .... and they will kindle bright light in you .... The flame of love will ignite and flare up into bright radiance, and soon the fire of love for the Saviour will permeate your whole heart and make you so happy, for with this sacred love in your heart you will live in bliss and only then will your love for Him guide your every action and you will be blessed a thousand fold on earth. The Lord will give you every gift so that you can accomplish what the Lord has determined for you to do on earth .... if you are guided by your love for the Saviour .... Thus immerse yourself in the book the Lord gave you with love in order to awaken love again .... and regard every event as God’s providence, and if you willingly entrust yourselves to His guidance you will only ever reap blessings. Praise the Lord, for His kindness endures forever!

Childship to God .... Father – Children .... Admonition – Task ....

B.D. 0246 from January 3rd 1938, taken from Book No. 5/6

My dear child .... you must always be aware of the fact that you have been chosen by God’s love to receive the divine teachings for the benefit of humanity .... and so you must never doubt yourself, for only firm faith gives you the ability and strength to comply with the Lord’s will. The Lord expects your absolute dedication every time you contact the spiritual world .... nothing should seem of greater value to you than to undertake this work .... you should strive for nothing more eagerly than receiving God’s wisdom. Then each proclamation will come easily to you, you will hear with spiritual ears and see with spiritual eyes, and the Lord’s love will dictate Words for you to write down which sound lovely to you and penetrate your heart with such strength that you will never want to miss this gift .... Trust in the Lord to guide you right, turn to Him in prayer time and time again, and constantly appeal to Him to bless your work on earth. Everything that has been conveyed to you shall one day also be a blessing for your fellow human beings .... So work diligently and place yourself at the Lord’s disposal whenever you can. We, who are instructed by Him, will follow your effort and help you as far it is within our power .... All the gifts flowing to you through divine grace also present us with a state full of bliss, for each one of us is happy when you have accepted and recorded our thoughts. We have so much more in store for you, for the wisdom which tells of God’s working in the universe is inexhaustible .... His love is immeasurable and by virtue of this love the Lord wants to give to you humans, who desire to ascertain God’s Creation and out of love for Him appeal for His support .... For the Lord informs His children of His wisdom .... And you are God’s children when your heart genuinely longs for the One Who gave you life .... for the heavenly Father. Indeed, could there possibly be anything better than the Father lovingly granting your request? .... The eternal home .... The Father’s kingdom .... shall be revealed to all of you if you regard yourselves as part of the Father .... yet you must pray for the grace of the childship to God, so that you will not bypass all the blessings which the Father has prepared for His earthly children. You must profess the Father so that His divine Fatherly love will illuminate you and His Fatherly grace will remain with you, then your earthly existence will be the gate to paradise .... you won’t aspire towards anything else but to finally arrive at the Father. Thank heavens that you had gained realisation .... And the Father with all His love has introduced you to His holy kingdom .... He has made accessible to you what will remain hidden to countless people who do not longingly turn towards eternity .... However, take good care of this gift .... always make an effort to refine your nature .... keep away from all earthly pleasure offered to you, but always fervently and sincerely desire the Saviour’s love and His teachings .... If He provides these for you, you are loved by Him and will receive divine grace without end. For the seed the Lord places into a person’s heart will take root a thousand fold .... and thus His teachings shall be spread which the Saviour still wants to convey through you to the earthly children. This is the task given to you .... Pray with all your heart for the strength to fulfil it to the glory of God.

Errors .... The Lord Himself walks amongst people .... Proclamation of a wise disciple ....

B.D. 0247 from January 4th 1938, taken from Book No. 5/6

Realise the importance of carrying God the Lord in your heart! And then listen to the eternal truths which flow to you in abundance, and place your whole will at the Lord’s feet, for blessed is he who lets himself be guided by the Lord Himself .... He will never go astray and God will take care of all his worries, just as He takes care of those who want to serve Him and acknowledge Him as Father. People are constantly being taught that they should make contact with the above .... and, through all kinds of tribulations, souls are led to the Lord .... and for His children in need He always provides the right consolation. Everything living on earth shall arise again in eternity, and if the Lord Himself accompanies people in order to help them with His Word, then this repeatedly demonstrates to you the divine love which does not want any being to become corrupted and constantly struggles for this soul in order that it should liberate itself from the power of evil. Countless misconceptions often delude people, and in order to draw their attention to the fact that they live in error, the Lord Himself goes through the land and knocks at every door .... the heart which is receptive is lovingly taken care of by the Saviour, and then the earthly child will always be protected by Him and need only let itself be guided .... And so the Lord dwells amongst all of you and takes hold of each person’s hand .... Every worry is intended to lovingly draw your attention to your lifetime goal .... Only pain and misery will finally lead you to the contemplation of God .... and your spirit will lift itself up .... what loss will the world then be to you, even if it offers you everything .... can even one of you recognise the path of ascent when all earthly pleasures his heart desires are offered to him? .... Your senses become blunted .... they demand increasingly more and the soul gradually fades into the background although it should constantly strive to progress .... Therefore, sacrifice all your wishes to the Lord and be grateful to Him, no matter how He guides you and what He bestows upon you ....

And now a wise disciple of the Lord wants to speak to you .... You humans everywhere live as if the sun of the Lord had not risen above you and you don’t recognise the power which comes forth from the Words of the Lord .... So I am calling you anew and informing you that the Saviour moves amongst you .... honour and love Him with all your heart, for you owe your life to His power and great goodness, and if you live your lives in a dignified way, you will recognise the Lord .... yet all your striving shall relate solely to Him, for all the spirit and the glory of God will come upon you if you remain true to His Word .... But if you do not recognise yourselves, you will not partake in this Word .... then you will search in vain for the path which is intended to lead you forward .... However, the wisest person of all is someone who triumphs over himself, for a reward is beckoning to him which will compensate him for all humiliations and will lift up the one who lowers himself .... And furthermore, it will benefit you if you give up what you deem indispensable .... for only he, who regards himself small and humbly bows down before the Lord, will become great .... Try to endure everything, take all distress upon yourselves .... always think of the Saviour and you will lift yourselves up from the earthly heaviness, because the Saviour’s love tries to draw you to Himself.

Amen

Recognition of truth not without prayer .... Ask and it will be given to you ....

B.D. 0248 from January 5th 1938, taken from Book No. 5/6

My child, in order to introduce you to the mysteries of the universe, you merely need to entrust yourself to your Saviour with profound sincerity .... We observe your every effort and are always ready for you .... for at all times shall you receive what the Lord commands us to convey to you. The Lord will always be present where the desire for truth is strong and a person’s will is placed at the Lord’s service. And none of you recognise His power as yet .... what He does for love of humanity deviates from the ordinary, so that everyone learns to comprehend the power of Heaven .... And if you are about to lose yourselves, a small hint from the eternal sphere is enough to make you receptive to God’s teachings, for what the Lord gives to you will only be regarded by you as a divine gift if you clearly recognise it as the intervention of a higher Power .... Humanity’s greatest error consists of the fact that it fails to recognise the laws of eternity as the Lord and Creator’s will .... it cannot subordinate itself to divine will because it lacks this conscious realisation. On the other hand, however, it does not strive to attain the realisation of all wisdom either .... which it could easily achieve by calling upon the eternal Deity for help. Yet how can the earthly child appeal to Him if it cannot find the right relationship with the heavenly Father .... Where can it become aware of eternity on earth if it does not strive to look for the Father beyond worldly things .... where can the earthly child’s longing turn towards the divine if its wishes purely relate to the fulfilment of worldly enjoyment .... And once again, it is prayer that is needed first .... talk to the God of the eternal universe so that He shall guide you correctly and enlighten you, and you will enter the right path and be led forward step by step .... However, without it you will not succeed .... you will neither recognise your purpose nor awaken from your sleep; you will remain in darkness until you take refuge in prayer .... The Father will not let any child pray in vain .... the Lord protects everyone from total ignorance, He provides many helpful hints but you must accept them in your heart if they are not to be given to you to no avail. And you will eternally bless the hour when you opened the door of your heart for everything that comes from above and points to above again. The Lord of Heaven and Earth therefore has many teachings ready for the earthly children, the acceptance of which will be a blessing for each one of you .... learn to understand, that only the Lord’s love instructs you; don’t disrespect what He sends you and at all times look within you .... for if the human being recognises himself as a helpless creature he will gladly subordinate himself to the divine Father’s love; he will feel well protected as His child and gratefully accept everything the Father’s advice and divine will sends to him. For the Lord has countless riches prepared for those who believe in Him .... He gives to all who live on earth, yet whether you accept His blessings is entirely up to you. In His wisdom He created everything around you so that you should thereby recognise His creativity and work .... Therefore always meet Him with a willing heart. And if you then, with the good will of reaching God, hold a heartfelt dialogue with Him, He will illuminate you and direct you towards the eternal truth, so that the Word ‘Ask and it will be given to you’ will come true .... Every person has a share in God’s Fatherly love, the Lord lived on earth for everyone, and thus He is once again among you to bring salvation to those who accept His Word, carry it in their heart and act accordingly. The Father’s gifts shall be received by anyone with a pure heart wanting to serve the Lord, and His grace will be upon him now and forever.

Amen

No life without light .... Darkness in the beyond ....

B.D. 0249 from January 6th 1938, taken from Book No. 5/6

The spiritual beings are approaching you with a request that you give your utmost attention to their proclamation. The Lord has ordained that you shall receive well-ordered teachings so that your spirit will not tire of accepting divine truth. Therefore contact the spiritual world with complete confidence at all times and let our thoughts affect you to the glory of God .... the Most High of Heaven and Earth. The human being shall live, and he shall live eternally .... However, to live means to be enlightened .... to receive the light of divine grace on earth .... to strive towards the light .... and to dwell in an abundance of light, close to his Creator, in eternity. This is how the Lord decided it, and therefore all life on earth is merely a striving towards becoming worthy of being allowed to be close to the Saviour in radiant brightness, and so to being infinitely far removed from darkness and its evil powers .... For the Saviour is the eternal Light .... You can only understand this if your faith lifts you out of your spiritual darkness .... you can only comprehend how wonderful the strength of divine light is when nothing ties you to earthly life anymore .... Only then will you fully realise that the Lord’s sphere is permeated by the divine sun of love .... that all power and glory is united in this kingdom .... Every being requires light to experience the state of bliss, and only he who constantly stays within the Deity’s vicinity of light, and being worthy of this beatitude, will live in eternity. However, to be without light in the beyond signifies death .... Even the most ignorant and obstinate being recognises the tiniest ray of light as a release from its adversity. It will always seek to follow the ray of light, yet realising its task in the beyond is still infinitely difficult for it. This is why the hardship of those dwelling in such darkness in the beyond is still far greater than the greatest misery on earth .... On earth the Lord shows you His love time and again, for He constantly admonishes you through His messengers .... His divine love would like to protect you from this darkness .... it would like to spare you the infinitely long time of battle .... for you will certainly have a hard battle there until you have detached yourselves from the power of darkness .... It will make you infinitely happy if you are allowed to move within the eternal light .... yet staying in darkness is indescribably wretched and bitter. Since God the Lord created you as part of the light, He also gave you the opportunity to remain in it, yet the earthly being ignores its purpose of its own free will by not resisting the temptations of the nether world, and so increasingly relinquishes its radiant strength of light and passively allows itself to be pulled down by dark forces. For this reason the world poses the greatest danger for the earthly children if they do not beseech the heavenly Father for the strength to enable them to walk unscathed through the valley of trials during their earthly existence. After all, the Lord so willingly gives the strength to all of them, for He loves His children far too much as to leave them without strength and without warning at the mercy of evil powers.

Amen

Suffering .... Participation in the Redemption work .... Sorrow and joy are short-lived ....

B.D. 0250 from January 7th 1938, taken from Book No. 5/6

‘If you accept My Words, you will remain in My love .... ’ Engrave these Words deep into your heart and resist all thoughts provoked in you by the tempter .... Behold, in times of humiliations you are repeatedly recognising the grace of Heaven if you only ever regard these as concerned references to the eternity. In those times you must wrestle with yourself, then you will accomplish the task you were given on earth. Silently and imperceptibly something grows stronger inside of you, and soon such humiliations can no longer deprive you of your inner peace if you recognise the Father’s guiding hand and willingly give in to it. The Lord’s path on earth leads across stones and thorns .... Let yourselves be refreshed by His grace and you will understand how infinitely beneficial it is that the Lord constantly grants it to you .... Therefore, always try to gain possession of divine grace and it will become obvious to you that you are constantly surrounded by His love, not one day will then be a lost one for you, because you will fulfil your purpose on earth, and this with ever greater ease the more divine grace flows to you .... The Saviour’s heart suffered for you humans on earth .... you bear every suffering on this earth together with the Lord and Saviour if you think of His suffering and, in realisation of this, are willing to sacrifice your suffering to Him .... Every one of you should try to dispose of the opinion that you would be able to enter the eternal kingdom without having to endure suffering .... This is only granted to the person who, through his suffering, has participated in Christ’s act of Salvation .... who has also contributed his share in reducing the suffering on earth on behalf of humanity, for what he bears for the sake of the Saviour is accepted by the Lord with grace, and once again a part of the immense guilt of sin has been reduced for the salvation of the human race .... You must have complete trust in the Lord, then you will be guided through all suffering on earth, and, without any risk of harm to the soul as a result of this suffering, you will, in fact, accrue unsuspected benefits if, in view of Jesus Christ’s suffering and death on the cross, you desire to receive the blessings thereby acquired .... The Lord has always helped the earthly child in extreme adversity if it turns to Him in prayer, for this reason every suffering will always come to an end if you sacrifice it to the Lord in heartfelt prayer and beg for consolation in every distress .... In this life nothing lasts forever .... neither suffering nor joy last long .... because all earthly things are transient after all, and are only imposed or granted to the human being to make him aware of the fact that he should always draw the benefit for eternity from suffering as well as from joy. Both will only be a blessing for the human being if he accepts them with faith and love for the Creator and willingly submits to it, no matter how it is granted to him by the Lord .... Only then will the human being pass the test and need not fear anything in this world, for his suffering will constantly bring him closer to eternity, where one day it will be converted into bliss for him.

Amen

B.D. 0251 from January 8th 1938, taken from Book No. 5/6

Now listen, my dear child, the Father of all salvation is promising you eternal life if you persevere for your and other people’s sake. For a time of unspeakable adversity has come upon all of you .... countless spiritually deluded and wrongly thinking are waging battle with the darkness .... God the Lord has once again embodied Himself on earth in the spirit of those who are willing to serve Him in order to come to help these fighters .... to support them in their adversity of soul and to point the right path out to them. For the time of grace granted to humanity will soon be over. When the Lord of spirits instructs these spirits to speak to people on earth .... to make contact with Earth, then this visible activity of Heaven is an inexpressible grace for the human children, which all of you should truly recognise .... Yet the magnitude of adversity on earth motivates the Father Who, in His love, does not want to abandon any being. Work at improving your souls .... lift your thoughts up to the Lord and all of you will receive blessings a thousand times over, now and evermore.

Greetings, My child .... Let My Words refresh you and always remain My obedient child, and I will give you all My love if you are of service to Me .... for the wretchedness of My earthly children is immense, they continue on the path which leads away from their real goal .... from eternal beatitude .... and indifferently walk through the earthly valley. I see the misery grow worse every day, I take mercy upon them and would like to offer them My help, yet they close their hearts and ears to My Words and admonitions. I will bless every one of you who serves Me, yet I have tasks awaiting you and need your complete commitment .... If your activity is to be crowned with success you must, for love of Me, accept opposition when it arises, for I need confrontational servants who are willing to suffer for My Words and to endure hardships .... Behold, My child, as a result of your striving your soul will derive a wealth of grace .... no human child is able to estimate this treasure, its physical eyes do not see the shine brought about by such striving in My spirit and in accordance to My will .... A child which serves Me with love and loyalty can never fail .... it will only ever dedicate itself more eagerly to its Lord and Saviour, and for this I will bless it for all eternity .... All souls are dear and valuable to Me, and every child helping Me to show these poor beings, which take the wrong path, the right direction so that they will turn to Me and allow Me to enter their hearts, will be rewarded by Me with My love. One day eternal light shall shine for them, they shall all taste blissful happiness, which is forever prepared for them in My Father’s kingdom. For My love wants to give eternal life to all of you.

Amen

Struggle for truth .... Help through prayer ....

B.D. 0253 from January 9th 1938, taken from Book No. 5/6

Once your heart has directed you to the right path, take it and remain faithful to the Lord till death .... Things are still awaiting you which the Lord has destined you to do for the benefit of humanity, and you shall actively participate in all the knowledge conveyed to you in order to strengthen your spirit. As yet, much is still unknown to you which shall one day provide you with information about God’s will, wisdom and omnipotence .... The Lord Himself will advise you time and again to persevere and to work in His honour and for the benefit of many souls. Always obey the voice within yourself, which will guide and direct you according to the Lord’s will .... And don’t linger when you are advised to serve Him .... Everything that flows to you is predetermined; therefore you must not become impatient. Only the Lord knows why He instructs you in this unusual fashion, and your complete trust, dedication and submission to His will enable you to receive His teachings time and again. Every desire for truth is a step towards fulfilment .... the Lord distributes as it is conducive for His children and beneficial for their perfection. The struggle goes on incessantly for everyone, and if you want to attain the eternal Truth you must patiently place yourselves at the Lord’s disposal by proving yourselves worthy of the great grace of being allowed to work as the Lord’s servants, with Him and for Him. Thus you are urgently advised to remain in prayer .... the Lord will give you everything if you appeal to Him for your soul’s salvation and for strength and grace on your journey through life. Once you realise how your resolve to work for the Lord becomes stronger through prayer, you will use this means of grace increasingly more often and the Lord will stay close to you at all times .... In days of inner contemplation you will always have the desire to faithfully entrust yourselves to the Saviour, and this desire is the emanation of His divine love for you human children, since the more love you receive, the brighter your love for the Saviour will arise, and then it will be much easier to recognise the Father’s loving care in His directives .... the heart will gladly become receptive and the spirit will lift itself up into the universe and hurry ahead to the eternal home. On days like these the earthly heaviness will not burden you so much, because your soul is following its true purpose and turns towards eternity .... Once you have reached the level where you consciously turn away from the world and its enticements, your urge for perfection will become stronger .... You will no longer walk alone on earth but will always be in contact with the Lord and nothing need frighten you anymore .... Everything in your existence on earth will proceed as the Lord has determined, and all events will be of benefit for you if you trustingly leave everything up to the Lord. The Earth is only a tiny part of Creation, and just as certainly as it is a stage of maturing for countless beings, so certainly will that soul, which always and forever entrust itself to the Lord and has united itself with Him in love, leave earthly life completely purged and prepared for eternity. For the Lord blesses His Own and gives them eternal life .... He lets the light of realisation illuminate them and guide them into the Father’s kingdom.

Amen

Stars .... Natural law .... Research to no avail ....

B.D. 0254 from January 10th 1938, taken from Book No. 5/6

Dear child .... it is a fundamentally wise law that, according to the Lord’s will, the heavenly bodies in the universe always orbit the sun at the same distance and in eternally repetitive regularity. Every creation in the universe depends on the solar system .... Not a single star can exist without the luminosity of the sun, for the purpose of each heavenly body consists of being the abode for countless more living beings .... and yet the composition of each one differs. If you want to ascertain this you must take hitherto unknown laws into account .... The Earth is a completely independent star .... that is, from other heavenly bodies, with its own specifically designed natural laws, and therefore you can only explain the stars you see in the firmament according to these natural laws .... yet you do not come close to the truth in this way .... the laws of earth apply to all inhabitants of earth .... nevertheless, they deviate from the laws of other stars .... consequently, it will never be possible for you to establish principles and rules about them, for you are not in control of the laws of the universe. It is roughly the same as if you tried to explain to the creatures in the animal kingdom that every individual person thinks differently .... just as every spirit shapes its own life and that these lives can be totally different .... and the animal would be unable to understand the spiritual sphere in which the human being exists, although man lives on the same earth as the animal .... so all stars differ from one another, despite the fact that they all move within the universe and are subject to the same will .... Hence the final answer will remain unknown to you, it is therefore entirely pointless to establish scientific research about areas and questions mankind will never be able to solve, for even if you have found an answer .... who wants to prove that this answer is right? .... Your calculations and conclusions will only ever be in accordance with the applicable laws for earth, yet the universe hides such great secrets that researching them during your earthly existence will be a futile effort .... Who gives you the guarantee that the Lord’s creation has taken place in the same way on all stars .... who on earth will say things, the proof of which he is powerless to ascertain? .... Just as planets are worlds apart from each other, so is every star’s purpose different for its assigned beings, and the laws these heavenly bodies are subject to were given by the Creator of the Universe according to His wise judgment, yet they are utterly incomprehensible for the inhabitants of Earth and not inexplicable for the human intellect .... All beings shall recognise the Lord’s greatness by His work of Creation, and if the human being only once considers the fact that he merely knows a very tiny part of Creation and that he cannot even thoroughly explore this part .... the Earth .... in its whole composition, then a slight sense of the infinity of the universe has to come to him .... of the inconceivable magnitude of the Creator .... and he must begin to realise that everything has been created according to a wisely devised divine plan and that the human being, as a part of this work of creation, was placed into it in order to likewise fulfil a task which has to be the purpose of his life on earth. And the result of a person’s contemplation about trying to investigate the Earth and its surrounding heavenly bodies should be the wish to serve the Lord of the world. For vast is the universe and tiny is the human being.

Amen

Evil forces .... Good spiritual beings .... Reason and miracle of the proclamations ....

B.D. 0255 from January 11th 1938, taken from Book No. 5/6

Our effort to penetrate you is unsuccessful if you resist our thoughts. If you willingly hand yourself over to us, the reception will be easy .... Try to understand: every moment in your life good and evil forces try to take possession of your soul, and therefore many days and hours occur when the battle being waged between these forces becomes apparent in a person’s emotional life .... During these times apathy, unwillingness and other less positive instincts take possession of the person and place him into a state of inner discontentment .... And you will find it particularly difficult to pray during those times, even though you could quite easily release yourselves again from the control of such demons with a prayer. However, you must use all your will to fight against such states which can easily damage your soul and always strive to re-establish contact with your Lord and Saviour, for only then will your victory over these evil powers be assured. The Lord protects you, for His love would like to keep everything at bay, yet you need not dread such times either, providing you always listen to the inner voice which shows you the path towards inner peace. And now listen to our teachings, which we bring to you on the Saviour’s instruction to give you strength and encouragement for the coming time .... God created you, and thus you all live in the world sharing exactly the same spirit yet at different stages of development, which you, during your more or less long lifetime, will raise yourselves, depending on the work you do to improve your own soul. This work of improving oneself is the only task the Lord gave you at the time of your creation, and for this purpose the Lord assigned spiritual beings to you to accompany you through your life on earth .... spiritual beings, which lovingly try to help you so that you are not defencelessly left to the mercy of evil forces .... spiritual beings, which constantly look after you and always try to influence you on earth in a way that you will gladly and eagerly accomplish this work of improving your soul. And you should hand yourselves over to these spiritual beings .... so that spiritual thoughts may be imparted to you, you should make your hearts receptive to the whisperings and admonitions which constantly flow to you from these spiritual beings .... Then your journey through the earthly valley will be much easier, you will never walk through it lonely and abandoned but will always be accompanied by forces which will lead you to the Father and want to spare you from going astray. But then you will be given the task of seeking heartfelt contact with these spiritual beings, because the Lord Himself wants to talk to you through these beings. This is significant evidence of His love for you earthly children and is only understandable due to the great adversity which threatens the earthly children now. For this reason the Lord seeks to impart Words of comfort to His Own on earth again through the mouth of willing children who make contact with the spiritual beings surrounding them in order to accept the Words of the Lord .... He tries to revive people’s faith again where it was lost and to strengthen it where it is weak. For without faith the human being is heading for disaster .... without faith evil powers take possession of him .... without faith he turns away from the Divinity and takes the path of ruin. And when the human being is no longer able to recognise God in that which surrounds him every day, the Lord of Heaven and Earth must be pointed out to him and through miracles he must be informed again of God’s activity, so that he will look heavenwards once more and find his way back to the Father Who created him and Who does not want the downfall of even one of His beings because it does not recognise the heavenly Father.

Amen

Warning .... Working against God’s word .... Serious admonition ....

B.D. 0256 from January 12th 1938, taken from Book No. 5/6

O thank the Lord, the Creator of heaven and earth! .... He mentions those who are ready to serve Him and instructs them at all times. And so you have the grace again and again to be allowed to receive the words of the Lord and to accept them as strengthening of your spirit. Pay attention to these words .... Whoever receives from the Lord must remain in the Lord to fulfill his task .... For the fate of man is still bearable .... but once the time will come where the word of God will be the only and true consolation for the children of men .... where people in bitter distress will approach the Father in heaven for help and then it will be given to them in his word.

The soul will long for divine gifts and will turn it's back on the world .... the Lord will destroy what still clings to the world, and His wrath will strike sinners who want to rob the seeking and God-seeking souls of heavenly comfort .... for God has mercy on His children, but where the spirit of the adversary works against them, there he will be stopped.

Therefore seek to wrest yourselves from darkness as long as God in His longsuffering has given you a period .... and if you cannot yet receive the words of the Lord, avoid anything that could bring the wrath of the Lord upon you .... do not work against Him .... His creation wants to go to the light, if it is not hindered by hostile powers .... and everyone also finds the way to the light, just make sure that all warnings and admonitions that are sent to him are not rejected .... If the child on earth thinks about the great question of creation and his own task, the Lord gives him also His blessing and brings the thoughts of man closer to the truth .... but he who autocratically rejects everything that could bring him spiritual light gets into great guilt .... To those comes the hour when the Lord speaks to him with a resounding voice, and if then his heart does not turn to the truth, then his life is a lost one, and the adversary draws him completely into his domain. O how lukewarm you all are when it is a matter of reaching the highest and most beautiful and making yourselves worthy of an unspeakably beautiful eternity! ....

A bright, radiant, light-flooded beyond is open to you, and you walk in darkness of spirit .... You need only beg the Lord for grace, and the glory of eternal life is assured .... Instead, you turn away from His love, you do not make use of the fullness of grace that is at your command, and let day after day pass without remembering that a Father dwells in heaven, who calls you and has prepared His kingdom for you. Recognize the divine love and desire it before the earthly guilt completely blinds you and you block the way to the Father. Every sinner is accepted when he only repentantly implores the Father for mercy, but he who rejects the Father's mercy closes the door to eternity for himself, and his end is death .....

Amen

Tax-free guidance of the life-ship line .... God's word .... Glory ....

B.D. 0257 from January 13th 1938, taken from Book No. 5/6

And in the inner knowledge of the eternal truth your life goal .... It is a daring enterprise, if you want to do justice to the task on earth without God's help .... It is not possible for you to lead the ship of life without steering .... You must call on the Lord for help at any time. But if you follow His commandments, you will get over all storms of life unharmed .... Not a hair can be bent on your head without the will of the Father .... So do not seek to hide your misery from Him, but trust in Him ....

No little star falls from heaven unless it is His will, and so you too are in His hat .... The Lord cares for you, He courts your soul .... and if you want to listen to Him, your spirit is saved forever, because His Word will always proclaim to you His love, His omnipotence and His wisdom .... And if you want to hear Him, He gives you everything .... according to your needs .... He blesses those who follow Him, He considers with His grace, whose life on earth is a walk in love ....

And hence allow yourselves be pointed to eternity for this is the only value of life .... of lasting value are only the deeds of love but the earthly world is like foam .... it passes away and nothing but the deeds of the spirit remain .... strive upwards, the face always turned to God .... the heart surrendered to the Savior in love and loyalty .... so you follow His teachings and offer yourselves to the Lord. And still you will be able to recognize only a part of the divine truth because the Lord has assigned this in it's entirety to eternity .... so you will stand in the light and see the glory of God with spiritual eyes. Because only then you will grasp how great the love and kindness of the Father is ....

Only when you see the Word Himself in His glory, do you desire to penetrate ever deeper, and then the Lord will enlighten you .... Pay attention on earth because there only disaster threatens you, and to escape it, direct your attention to the hereafter .... you are warned so that your eyes do not become clouded and keep the little light, which was kindled by the kindness of the Father to rescue you from darkness. Everything has been created by His will, and nothing is without purpose .... and lets God let you hear His voice, so see also in it His will .... it is the purpose of His words to save you from destruction .... "For only he who has My word will live in eternity ...."

Amen

Stars .... Dwelling place for souls .... Sun-light ....

B.D. 0258 from January 14th 1938, taken from Book No. 5/6

Behold, today we proclaim to you in the Saviour's name that which will introduce you to infinity .... There are times when you are drawn to observe the splendours of the stars, do you ever consider the glories that might hide behind them? .... And no matter how many million stars you see in the firmament, it is nevertheless only a part of infinity .... it is merely a fraction of Creation and does not even begin to give you an idea as to how many more of such stars in the universe are still invisible to you .... This myriad of celestial bodies is only governed by one Spirit .... one Light .... and one Deity .... Over thousands of years it has been the Creators will to offer completely free beings the opportunity for advancement on these stars .... and to gradually prepare them for the state in eternity where they shall be illuminated by an abundance of light which far exceeds all the light of the stars in the universe. Yet even the abundance of light on each of these stars differs in intensity .... the sizes of the suns, which give light and warmth to these stars, are, in turn, so different that no-one on earth would be able to imagine them, because these areas are inaccessible to human research and would only lead to wrong conclusions. Nevertheless, everything in space is so well arranged that from eternity to eternity nothing of this wise order of worlds can be revoked .... that no star would ever be able to leave its designated orbit and take a different path .... And thus listen: The Lord created space for the perfection of all His beings and for the duration of the earthly course of life, for instance, the human being has a number of years at his disposal during which he can attain a degree of perfection which will place him into bright surroundings. The soul shall continue to develop to ever higher realms and be offered ever more opportunity .... And the purpose of every star .... is to offer the countless beings a space that suits their spiritual state where the spiritual beings' activity shall be continued. It is incredibly difficult to explain this to a person, for he can only grasp this with his human intellect and is incapable of imagining the multitude of stars which are subject to God's will and which time and again offer countless beings the opportunity to mature fully again ....

Amen

Father’s words .... Announcements ....

B.D. 0259 from January 15th 1938, taken from Book No. 5/6

My dear child .... not all are so distinguished, and not all are in the grace to be allowed to hear My words, therefore it is your holiest duty to dedicate yourself in most devoted love to this My word and to avoid as far as possible everything that could hold you back from it on earth. Resistances grow out of it, so that your spiritual ear is not able to receive so easily, if you are distracted by earthly pleasures ....

And so I advise you to avoid everything that binds you to this world .... seek in My words alone the happiness of your days, and never fail to devote yourself zealously to your work. For it is to your blessing and promotes your spiritual progress .... The way, which was shown to you, is of undreamt-of sweetness for your heart, because in love I stand by the side of all these children, who fulfill My mission, and lead them up to the heights .... What can replace such things for you? Where could you find the peace of your soul if not through Me? ....

If you, My child, love Me more than the world, you exchange heavenly food for earthly pleasures and stand in boundless riches .... for the Lord is well pleased with such sacrifice and gives you back a thousand times what you give up for His sake .... Therefore let this task always be the work of your heart .... in intimate union with Me you prepare for yourself greater joy and remain in My grace. So I also want to announce to you today that in every union with Me, heaven has it's joy and that such has an effect in a wide sphere around you because every noble movement of the heart lets light and power flow to you, which also gives power again to the beings surrounding you, which set their hope on you. Thus a light shines around you ....

Seclusion from the world ....

B.D. 0260 from January 16th 1938, taken from Book No. 5/6

A sunny nature increases the power of the spirit, and your efforts will succeed in seeing the light of the sun through the ether blue, even if dark clouds still shadow you at present. Any spirit, which separates itself from a worldly beginning ...., which rises up into bright heights, will feel it's strength grow, and it recognizes in it the effect of the divine light. Well, there are days in existence, which lack the radiating brightness, but also in this stage man can achieve extraordinary things for his soul, if he asks for the strength from above .... because for some just this time is necessary, where man faces the worldly activities full of dissatisfaction ....

If he can save himself from such bodily distress over into spiritual regions, then the sun shines from there with it's rays and then a spiritual awakening takes place .... because the soul slept until then, it was in a state of unconsciousness, and only the warming rays of the spiritual sun awakened it to life .... there the Lord let His light shine, so that it showed the way to an erring human child .... From now on the soul has no need for this, if it always remains in the beam of this light .... and it can do that at any time, it only asks the Father from the heart for the grace of knowledge.

Pay attention to the words: Never lose the connection with the Lord and Savior, and never lose yourselves. To satisfy your hunger, you shall hear words of salvation .... All of you who stand in faith, do not worry about what is coming upon you .... awaken the Lord in you, let Him dwell in your hearts, and you will be delivered from every trouble .... If you remain in the Lord, the Lord will not let His own perish, because you are a part of Him who created you.

Therefore, with His grace He enlivens the weak and consoles the despondent .... He stands by His own, where the wrath threatens you .... If you show the Lord just a little love, He will bless you, and all the strength of the adversary against you will be put to shame ....For it will be a robbery of the flames who seeks to destroy you .... But you have to cultivate faith now and always and then also do not need to despair because God will help you for ever.

Amen
