Autobiography of Bertha Dudde

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Power of the divine word ....

B.D. 3687 from February 15th 1946, taken from Book No. 47

You can draw comfort and strength from every one of My words because they originated from Me and are therefore strength in themselves. You only ever have to let Me speak to you, you have to unite with Me beforehand in heartfelt prayer, entrust your needs to Me and then take My words as a counter-speech, and you will constantly be strengthened, for if I speak to you Myself you will have to lose all weakness of spirit and body. Every one of My words will proclaim My love to you, and if you know yourselves to be loved by your father from eternity, every fear must also fall from you, for He Who loves you is also powerful and nothing is impossible for Him. And if you believe this you are powerful yourselves, and you overcome all opposition, for you always get the strength for this from My word. Therefore let Me constantly speak to you, never neglect to open your heart to Me at times through silent dialogue with Me, open yourselves so that My strength can flow over to you, for this requires your own will. He who wants to receive must also prepare himself as a receiving device, and this more often if spiritual and earthly hardship threatens to overwhelm him. The frequent mental connection with Me also guarantees him an influx of strength, and for this he needs to detach himself from the world. He must often find the time to accept My word again and again, to let it speak to him, and thereby join Me ever more firmly .... and his faith will become strong and unshakeable, for then I Myself will displace the spiritual substance which, banished in matter, tries to approach the human being again and again in order to distract him from Me. I hold the heart which has fled to Me, I protectively hold My hand over the one who has become Mine through his will .... And if you therefore want to face all adversity full of strength, don't pass by the source of strength but constantly draw from it .... I am always ready to give you the cup that refreshes your soul and increases its strength .... You receive food and drink with every word that goes out from Me and touches your ear and heart .... And you can therefore receive unmeasured strength from Me, because My gift is not given to you in a limited way but you yourselves determine the measure .... Let Me speak to you, listen to what My spirit announces to you and constantly draw from the source of life .... My word will never lose its strength if you hungrily receive it, if you eagerly listen to My voice, for it is I Myself Who comes to you in the word, and My presence will always signify strength and grace and thus never be without effect. The time is short and you should still make eager use of it and absorb strength so that you will then be able to survive every battle with the spiritual and earthly world. And thus make My word your concern and receive strength in abundance from My hand, which lovingly guides you until the end of your life ....

Amen

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

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

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

Amen

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

B.D. 3689 from February 17th 1946, taken from Book No. 47

And everything you do for My glory, for the spreading of My teaching and the glorification of My name, will be blessed insofar as that it will not remain without impression on the still weak but not entirely hardened souls, and the smallest success signifies an escape of the souls from the enemy and a step closer to Me. And although you will mostly be rejected, although scorn and ridicule will be your share, individual souls will nevertheless find their way to Me, they will be lifted up by your strength of faith, they will strive to emulate you, they will take My word to heart which is conveyed to them through you, and they will also feel its strength in themselves, for I will help wherever I discover even the slightest will turned towards Me .... Your activity on earth will not be in vain, even if it seems so, for the word, which is planted as a seed in the seemingly dead soil, can take root in due course if the events, the earthly adversity, flow into the human being such that he no longer knows any other way out than to approach the one for help Who previously made Himself known to him in the word. And then your work was not in vain .... On My behalf you shall be active on earth in the last time before the end .... And when I give you, My servants, this commission you can also always be assured that I will not assign you any unsuccessful work, for the lord knows about the blessing of His servants' work and in His wisdom He does not let them carry out work which is without any success. You should not worry about it and believe that you work uselessly, for I Myself work through you and I truly still draw sheep to Myself, for My voice is recognized as that of the shepherd, even if only by a few; yet for the sake of the few I send you forth to bring them salvation, because every soul is exceedingly dear to Me and I would like to save it from another earthly journey through the whole of creation. Moreover, even the hardened ones shall still be given the opportunity to find Me, for as long as the earth exists it shall serve the spiritual's ascent development, thus the spiritual, which is embodied as a human being, must also be given the opportunity to find and recognize Me. In the end this can only happen through the transmission of My word, which is to be made accessible to them through you so that they cannot say that they have been unjustly condemned on the day of judgment. For only when they completely reject Me and declare war on Me and My servants will the hour have come when their measure is full and they are ripe for renewed banishment on the new earth. They must have reached the deepest depth of free will before I end their earthly course, before I reshape the earth itself in its creations because it no longer corresponds to its purpose .... And therefore your activity for My kingdom is absolutely necessary, for there must be people who announce to their fellow human beings on My behalf what is about to happen to earth, who speak what I put into their mouths so that every person can mentally deal with it and make use of what he hears. But I do not force the will .... But you shall be diligently active and I will bless you, I will be with you with My grace and strength until the end and introduce you into My kingdom, for a right servant is also worthy of his reward ....

Amen

Battle of light against darkness at the end ....

B.D. 3690 from February 18th 1946, taken from Book No. 47

Understand and pay attention to the information given to you by My spirit: You are approaching a period which reveals both My will and might, My working on earth, as well as My adversary's influence, for the battle between Me and him, the battle between light and darkness, will reach its climax because the end is near. You will be tossed to and fro like a plaything, both in a spiritual as well as an earthly way .... you will be besieged in order to confuse your thoughts and attitude, but at the same time My messengers will bring you tidings from Me .... you will also be plunged into earthly difficulties so that you will feel helpless and abandoned .... Yet one path will always be open to you, you will always be able to call upon the One for help in every spiritual and earthly adversity. And as long as this path is still open to you, you need not fear the forthcoming time. Satan's influence will always be recognised everywhere, but so will My abundantly loving and merciful effect on all people who merely acknowledge Me, who do not forget about Me during the harshest time of battle and who therefore prompt Me to fight by their side, so that they will not be defeated by the enemy of their souls. Yet My adversary works with cunning and force .... He shrouds himself in a garment of the Messiah; he promises people earthly improvements and thereby entices gullible people into this net, who have so far been unable to detach their heart from worldly possessions. And the darkness will spread to a frightening extent, people everywhere will follow the deceptive light, they will bypass the true light and chase after a flame which does not emit light, which does not signify enlightenment in humanity's spiritual darkness. And the bearers of light will be ignored; indeed, an attempt will even be made to extinguish their flame and, in so doing, to force the bearers of light to remain secret. But then I will provide My messengers with overwhelming strength so that they will nevertheless work freely and need not worry that the light will be extinguished ....

Then I will also obviously come to the fore, bestowing strength and grace when My Own suffer adversity, so that the battle of light against darkness will become clearly recognisable and My Own will know that the end is not far away. For the prospect of the end will allow them to endure everything, since then they will only wait for the fulfilment of My Word to see Me Myself coming in the clouds in order to deliver them from all adversity and to banish My opponent. And My grace and love will ease their earthly fate and make every tribulation bearable, for as soon as they fight for Me I will provide them with great strength on account of which they will be capable of offering Satan resistance and fearlessly put up with earthly threats, for I Myself will always stand by their side and, in certainty of that, they will remain faithful to Me until the end. I will come soon .... Satan will only work for a certain length of time, and I Myself will shorten the days so that My Own will be able to persevere .... However, because of this Satan will rage in a shocking manner, for he knows that his time of activity is only short .... he knows that he only has little time left .... But don't be afraid, My faithful followers .... I announce this to you beforehand so that you can find strength of faith and inner peace in the truth of My Word, so that you can draw strength from My Word at any time and make heartfelt contact with Me, Who will not abandon you, neither on earth nor in eternity ....

Amen

Need and tribulation for the purification of the soul ....

B.D. 3691 from February 19th 1946, taken from Book No. 47

It is truly better for you to spend your days in adversity and hardship until the end than to end your earthly life in the comfort of your body only to have to accept a fate which means eternities of torment and indescribable hardship for you. Those who are afflicted by hardship in the last days will still be taken care of by Me in love and patience and I will try to save them from this hard fate. But those who pass away in carelessness and earthly wealth and do not belong to My own, their souls are incorrigible and they will receive the reward on this earth, if they have such to claim, or else they are in bondage to My adversary to such an extent that he also provides them with worldly goods. Therefore don't grumble and complain, you who have to suffer, but only recognize My love in it, which constantly endeavours to win you, to save you from the downfall of souls, and which nevertheless cannot compulsorily change you so as not to endanger your free will. Even in suffering recognize Me and bear in mind that this time will also pass and try to derive the right benefit from it. And you will thank Me eternally if you have found entrance into My kingdom, which is the purpose of all suffering and hardship you have to endure. I have to attack you harshly because you will not let yourselves be pulled by My gentle hand, and if this hurts you, wake up and think about the meaning and purpose of the suffering .... Your lot on earth will only be difficult for a short time, for the time of the end has come. Let it be a blessing for you, let it become a saviour for you so that you will not have to walk the path through creation again, don't just pay attention to the body's hardship but think of your soul which is purified by the adversity, which can withdraw and achieve unity with its spirit if it is no longer prevented from doing so by the body. Don't desire the world but only strive to attain the spiritual kingdom, for earthly life comes to an end but spiritual life lasts forever. And I want to make this accessible to you and shape you through suffering and hardship beforehand so that you can enter the spiritual kingdom after your demise. Humbly accept your fate, accept it from My hand, recognize Me even in adversity and hardship, know that nothing will come upon you without My will and that everything will serve you for the best if you don't oppose Me yourselves, if you humbly and uncomplainingly endure everything I send upon you. For as soon as the soul has taken advantage of it I also relieve the body and make life more bearable for it. Yet the time until the end is short and still has to be utilized in every way, and if your souls are still opposed to Me and My love nevertheless does not want to let you fall, I have to try to change your will through suffering .... Recognize your sinfulness and repent by patiently taking the measure of suffering upon yourselves and thereby also bear part of the guilt which weighs upon you due to your sins .... And be grateful if I still give you the opportunity on earth to atone for them, for only through this can you enter My kingdom purified and cleansed, if you pass the final test and become Mine while still on earth ....

Amen

Earthly precautions against the disaster are futile ....

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

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

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

Circle of light of the divine sun of grace ....

B.D. 3693 from February 21st 1946, taken from Book No. 47

And if My sun of grace is to illuminate you, you must follow the shine of light which again and again shines into the darkness .... Seek the exit of the light, approach the source where I am active as the eternal light Myself, where the light constantly flows forth in all abundance, where the sun of the spirit shines and sends its rays out into the darkness .... Seek to enter the circle of light of its emanation and let yourselves be warmed up, let yourselves glow through until you yourselves have become bearers of light, until you have been illuminated into the furthest corner of your heart and all darkness has been banished from it. My love is constantly ready to bring you light, to change the night of the spirit into brightest day, and thus I constantly let My sun of grace shine, and everyone can let its beneficent strength take effect on him if only he wants it. But you yourselves must desire the light, you must seek it, pursue its glow, because only your will will also let you feel the benefit of the rays, because you must not flee the rays but expose yourselves to them in order to feel their strength. Only then will you live, whereas before you were dead in spirit .... Only then will you be able to be active for your spiritual well-being, for life in eternity, whereas before you are condemned to inactivity in darkness and earthly time passes by uselessly, i.e. without advantage for the soul and its life in eternity. For it enters the kingdom of the beyond dead in spirit, it remains in the same darkness as on earth, since it ignored My sun of grace and thus could not be awakened to life either. Every person is granted the right to walk in the light on earth, but if he prefers darkness I will not force him to step into the light, yet his remorse will be unspeakably painful one day when the soul realizes which gift of grace it has disregarded, in which abundance of light and strength it could have stood if it had used its will correctly. To flee from the light is a sin against the spirit .... For the light emanates from the eternal father-spirit, it is the emanation of Myself which I want to give to all My children on earth and therefore kindle a little light everywhere, let My sun of grace shine everywhere in order to entice them to enter their circle of light .... I offer them the most delicious in My love, I seek to change the darkness of their souls into brightest light .... Yet they do not recognize the father’s love and reject it .... They harm themselves and also commit a sin against Me if they reject My gift of love .... the light which is offered to them from the heavens, the sun which lets My love shine in order to make My children on earth happy. But anyone who prefers darkness will have to live in it for eternities until he is granted the grace again he spurned. For his will must also become active in the beyond if a glimmer of light shines for him, but this will be far more difficult for him than on earth. As long as the light is not desired it cannot take effect on the soul, and the night of the spirit will not leave it. For if My love is disregarded the soul will have to live in want, and it will experience the darkness as torment from which it cannot escape of its own strength ....

The future fate of the soul corresponds to its desires ....

B.D. 3694 from February 22nd 1946, taken from Book No. 47

You shall receive what you desire. I will always give you what you want, more or less perceptible to you, but if your wishes are apparently not granted on earth and you don't abandon them, they will be granted to you in the spiritual realm .... You will even receive material goods but they will torture you until you change and turn your desire towards spiritual wealth or, if you are stubborn, until you are once again constrained in hardest matter; thus serving you as an external form which you had refused to forsake. If, however, I hesitate to fulfil your desire then only due to My profound love for you because you, as My living creations, should overcome that particular desire to achieve happiness. But if your longing takes a spiritual direction, if it applies to eternal values which flow (originate) from and lead you to the spiritual realm I will not hesitate long in giving you what you strive for .... because I always and forever grant spiritual wealth and I Am not prudent with anyone who asks for it. This longing is pleasing to Me and corresponds to the meaning and purpose of earthly life, it is the goal which you should reach on earth .... to strive for My kingdom ....

And thus your determination always prepares its own fate in the beyond; you shall receive what you strive for but you will never remain ignorant of what you should endeavour to achieve: to do justice to My will and to acquire eternal bliss for yourselves. But you have free will. Even the apparent denial of granting your wishes does not compel your will since you nevertheless remain free to uphold your desire or to re-direct it towards another goal; however, in the end your desire is decisive as to what reward you will receive. Time on earth is short and by refusing to give you what you want I Am only giving you the opportunity to change your mind because My love wants to help you become blessed. And therefore no one will be able to complain on the last day, on the day of Judgment, that he was given what was contrary to his desire .... anyone whose mind is directed towards the spirit and who therefore desires Me as the Highest Spirit of heaven and earth will be accepted into the spiritual realm; anyone who was unable to free himself from the realm of matter because his will rejected Me and thus he was weak will be banished into the realm of matter. Only the will is decisive because the strength to accomplish his will is at everyone's disposal, I will helpfully stand by everyone whenever I notice even the smallest change of will, but no human being shall be guided to a kingdom against his will if it does not correspond to his innermost desire. And thus the meaning and purpose of your earthly life is to change your will, to withdraw it from earthly matter and make it inclined towards spiritual values and I will not refuse any appeal for help, I will give you strength in abundance to liberate yourselves completely and enter the spiritual kingdom unburdened to become blissfully happy ....

Obvious work of the spirit connected with mission ....

B.D. 3695 from February 23rd 1946, taken from Book No. 47

If you were always devoted to Me, inspired by the will to serve Me and to work for My kingdom on earth, if this is necessary, then you would also be My children in truth and full of the spirit which always and constantly instructs you .... But thus there are only a few who allow the working of the spirit within themselves precisely through their will, which, however, does not exclude the fact that the rest of you would also be able to do so if you endeavour to do what I announce to you through those .... if you shape yourselves into love of your own free will and participate in the redemption of erring souls on earth. My spirit indeed works in many people if only they make themselves worthy of My working, yet it is only recognizable to fellow human beings in the form of regular instructions if the person is to be trained for an activity on My behalf .... if he is called to an office on earth, if he is to work for My kingdom .... For then he must first be introduced to knowledge, because it is his task to spread truth .... A person who lives in My will and always practices unselfish neighbourly love can also clearly feel the pure truth within himself, it can be in him as mental knowledge, because this, too, is the working of My spirit, that I order a person's thinking, that I guide it into the right direction, as soon as he, too, belongs to My own through a pleasing way of life. Yet this way of thinking will always completely correspond to the eternal truth which I impart to those who shall work as My servants on earth in the last days before the end. For the truth always and forever remains the same, and all who strive to live in My will and work tirelessly on the transformation of their being, all who strive for perfection and appeal to Me for My assistance, will also be able to ascertain agreement of their thoughts, because this is My spirit's working. But if the working of the spirit is evident then it is also linked to a mission, then I educate the human being for a wider sphere of activity. And every serious will to participate in the act of salvation, to bring help to fellow human beings in greatest spiritual adversity, will also result in an increased overflow of My spiritual strength, because I bless everyone who offers himself to Me for this work, who wants to help build up My kingdom and is willing to take up the fight against the power which seeks to bring ruin to weak souls .... I can only express Myself through the mouth of a human being because otherwise My activity would mean a compulsion of faith. And therefore I fill all with My spirit who want to let Me speak through them .... And this must be an explanation to you who take offence at the fact that I express Myself in isolation and not where you first expect My activity .... I require other conditions to be fulfilled in order to be able to work through My spirit. But where these conditions are fulfilled I am also obviously recognizable .... And these are My conditions from which I never ever deviate in order to pour out My spirit in all fullness: .... That you are active in unselfish love .... that you entrust yourselves to Me in order to work for My kingdom .... that you believe in My obvious working, in a direct connection with Me, and that you believe that I come to you in the word Myself and that you can hear Me in your heart .... that you therefore listen within and wait for My word .... that you completely detach yourselves from the world, close yourselves off and commune with Me in silence, otherwise you will not be able to hear the subtle voice of the spirit .... that you therefore believe without doubt in the working of My spirit within you .... And if I keep you worthy, if I recognize your earnest will, you will feel Me, My strength of spirit and love, which enlightens you and constantly draws you to Me. And My spirit will overflow you, brightly and clearly you will recognize the truth, I will instruct you and train you for your activity on earth, and you will be blessed to be allowed to serve Me ....

Violation of eternal law .... Temptations ....

B.D. 3696 from February 24th 1946, taken from Book No. 47

If you make a very serious effort to live in accordance with My will that has been made known to you, you will always experience a condition of psychological distress if you have done wrong, if you have offended against My commandment of love. And this is your unmistakable sign that you have to return to My eternal order to find inner peace again. My order only comprises actions of love and all unkindness is contrary to it. A loving heart and one that thus fulfils My commandments is not restless or timid because it finds peace in Me and cannot step out of the eternal order, i.e. it cannot act unkindly. But it will not be without temptations either since My adversary always endeavours to bring disorder where order rules, to bring disorder to a peaceful heart and to deprive it of its strength by influencing its volition and thinking. And these temptations have to be obstinately resisted, the tempter must not triumph but the human being should triumph by not allowing himself to be driven to unkind actions, words and thoughts .... This is a difficult fight with the tempter but easily won with My help. The strength of love always has to be stronger, the fortitude of soul always has to come to light where physical weakness is apparent. With a sincere call to Me the human being must hand himself over to Me so that I represent his cause and he is relieved of all responsibility .... The human being should not forget about Me .... he must remember Me in times of spiritual and worldly distress so that I can take care of everything that disheartens him, that happens to him, and that he therefore need never succumb to the tempter. You, My servants on earth, will often be tried and have to stand firm if you want to progress. You will have to negotiate obstacles and need much strength; however, My strength is at your disposal too if you want, just don't forget about Me. Don't allow the tempter to push Me away because your will is the deciding factor as to who takes possession of you .... don't give him the prerogative but stand next to Me at all times and he will flee from you because he cannot endure My presence. But if you become weak he will have power over you and won't rest until you have committed an offence against the eternal order .... until you have fallen and then need strength again to get up. I Am not angry with you but caution you because a lot of your strength will be lost, which you either didn't ask for or didn't need to return to the previous order but which you could have used to progress had you not fallen. Therefore remain strong in spirit, don't allow the adversary to gain power over you, hold on to Me at all times and I will guide you through all temptations without damage to your soul because if you fight with Me you will win every battle ....

Amen

Human commandments .... Neighbourly love .... God's commandment ....

B.D. 3697 from February 25th 1946, taken from Book No. 47

Human commandments cannot further your soul's maturity because I assess a person's will to live in a way that pleases Me, by applying the commandments which I gave to him in wise recognition of their effectiveness. If human commandments conform to My commandment of love, that is, if they merely aim to inspire the human being to love, so that abiding by them will result in the practice of unselfish love for other people, then they also meet My approval, because the working of My spirit in people who initiated such commandments is evident. However, any other commandment is of no value before Me nor do I take any notice of its fulfilment because you should use the whole flow of life-energy for deeds of love in order to achieve maturity of soul on earth. Your goal should be to become perfect .... But how can you become perfect without love? ....

How can you expect a flow of mercy by observing commandments whose failure of fulfilment is not an offence against love? Your love for your fellow human beings demonstrates your love for Me, your God and Father of eternity. Anyone lacking love for his fellow human beings also lacks the right kind of love for Me, which would urge him to do neighbourly deeds of love. If you pretend that you, with love for Me, observe the commandments which demand various external actions, I will not acknowledge such love since they are mere formalities which you observe to secure yourselves rewards promised by people .... They are not actions of love by which alone you demonstrate your hearts' love to Me, by which alone you can become blessed. All external formalities, everything recognisable on the surface has not Mine, but human will as its originator .... Only unselfish love for other people pleases Me, although this, too, necessitates external deeds .... I do not expect you to pretend to do something out of love for Me if it is not based on My commandment of love. I only want the fulfilment of this commandment and sincere prayer as the expression of a will devoted to Me .... Only then can you gain privileges of mercy and strength, for there are no other means of grace than prayer and unselfish love .... In that case, however, you will receive in abundance. Your entire life should be an internal one without pretentiousness, yet outwardly you should declare Me; you should confess My teaching, which you must endeavour to follow; you should openly admit to the world your faith in Me, in My name and My act of Salvation, that is, you should speak to your fellow human beings so that they know your thoughts and that your aspirations do not relate to the physical world but to the spiritual realm ....

You should prove yourselves as my followers, as My rightful children, whose way of life corresponds to the requirements which I have placed upon you and continue to place upon you with My Word, which is transmitted from above to those mediators who shall reveal My will to you .... If you want to live in accordance with My will then your actions have to be continuous labours of love by which I will later judge you in eternity .... and not external gestures and actions which are of no benefit to your soul but which rather make the human being careless in observing the only important commandment .... to love selflessly ....

Amen

God's Word reflects the spirit of love ....

B.D. 3698 from February 26th 1946, taken from Book No. 47

Recognise the spirit of love speaking to you through My Word .... Consider that you are spiritually weak, that you certainly carry Me within yourselves as a very tiny spark but that this spiritual spark will continue to rest dormant in you until you awaken it through acts of love. The Father-Spirit speaks to you with Words of love in order to awaken love in you, so that you will activate your indwelling spiritual spark and give life to it through love. Once you have gained realisation you will also understand why I constantly remind you to love, yet those of you who are still spiritually blind must first pay attention to the fact that every Word you hear through My servants on earth was given by Me with love and shall motivate you to love. Were you able to say that even one of My Words lacks love, you could be forgiven for not having accepted it. Yet every Word must prove to you the love of the Giver, every Word must testify to Me as the eternal Love Which only wants to regain what it had lost through heartlessness. And I only want to win you back because My love wants to make you blissfully happy for all eternity. Time and again I point your wretchedness out to you, your imperfect state, which cannot make you happy and which I want to resolve. And since only love is able to do so I incessantly preach love to you and remind you with each one of My Words, that you can only shape yourselves through love into blissfully happy creatures which are indescribably happy when they are close to the Father, the eternal Love. As soon as you have gained the conviction that all My Words are given with love, that they merely draw attention to love, you will also have to recognise their origin, you will have to regard My Word as the outpouring of Myself, as a work of love for the sinful human race in order to provide it with help. And if you recognise the spirit in My Word, you will soon also recognise Me, it will no longer be incomprehensible to you that I speak to you Myself, for love brings forth wisdom. If you allow the Words of love to take effect in you, then you will soon comply with them, and then you will also think correctly, you will become knowledgeable, recognise the immense truth inherent in My Word and thus also learn to recognise and love Me ever more profoundly. But this serious examination has to be conducted by you of your own free will .... you must ask yourselves, if My Word is offered to you, whether the spirit of love speaks through it .... You cannot be forced into asking this question, it must arise of your own free will, for this proves your will for truth, for right understanding. And you will receive an answer, the spirit of love itself will speak inside of you and aim to influence your heart and, providing you are willing, not without success. Truth exists where you can recognise love, for love is divine and can only originate from the eternal Love. Those of you who doubt the truth of My Word should bear this in mind. You may accept without hesitation what is inherent in the spirit of love, and you need never fear to be led astray by this spirit, for God is the source of love, and the goal of love is God .... And you will always reach Me if you allow yourselves to be drawn by My love, which approaches you in the Word time and again, which can be recognised in every one of My Words by anyone who wants to recognise it ....

Amen

Belief in the immortality of the soul .... Truth ....

B.D. 3699 from February 27th 1946, taken from Book No. 47

The death of the body is not the end of the soul. People fail to realise and believe this and therefore do not evaluate earthly life in accordance with My Will. They more or less only care for the needs of their body but not for their soul .... they behave irresponsibly towards their soul because they are not certain of its existence and of its immortality. For that reason they have to be taught about the immortality of soul first if your efforts to modify their way of life should be successful. But a belief in this also requires their own reflection which requires their own will and which cannot be compelled. The immortality of soul makes the meaning and purpose of earthly life understandable, and only then is it possible for the human being to change himself, to regard the life of the soul more important than the life of the body.

Humanity is confronted by two major dangers .... disbelief in the soul and its immortality, and misguided teachings. The latter are a hindrance to spiritual ascent even to those who believe in the immortality of soul, because they portray a wrong image of the eternal Deity and because people usually neglect to implement one thing .... to establish a sincere relationship with Me either mentally or by means of the right kind of prayer .... Only this will guarantee their spiritual ascent because then I will be able to become effective Myself. Thus My servants’ most important work on earth relates to the eradication of misguided teachings and the awakening of faith in a continuation of life after death .... And people will have to listen to My servants if they want to be successful during the brief time on earth which remains to them before the end. They will only be able to obtain completely truthful explanations where such are sent down from heaven; they can only be taught about the soul’s life after death and the teaching of Christ by Myself either directly or indirectly, but then their faith can become a convinced one that will stand firm against all contentions, which ensures spiritual ascent and brings the soul everlasting life in blissful happiness. Otherwise the fate of the soul is unhappiness, because it will never cease to exist and yet it is in a state in eternity which it has voluntarily created for itself due to its disbelief and an earthly life in opposition to My Will.

Anyone who firmly believes in the immortality of the soul will start the work of improving his soul much sooner, but the person who believes that his life will end with the death of his body remains indifferent and lethargic or totally incapable and unwilling. You, My servants, cannot describe to them the soul’s continuation of life seriously enough, even though you cannot prove it to them. Yet with serious thought the human being can come to the inner conviction that you spoke the truth because I Myself will help them to recognise the truth providing they genuinely want it and do not refuse to listen to you. Earthly life takes on an entirely different meaning for the believer; he no longer perceives it as an end in itself but only as a means to an end and reproaches his own way of life which he subsequently tries to improve, depending on his strength of will. And as soon as he is presented with the pure truth his faith will be strengthened while misguided teachings will only destroy him and let him relapse into darkness .... Thus the truth must be spread to bring life to the souls, because misconceptions and lies are the soul’s death in the spiritual kingdom but not it’s passing away, it merely means complete weakness and is therefore a state of severe distress which I would like to avert from the soul by sending My messengers to bring help before it is too late ....

Thought transmission from the spiritual kingdom ....

B.D. 3700 from February 28th 1946, taken from Book No. 47

Every idea is a spiritual emanation, it can merely originate from different sources, i.e. it can be transmitted to you humans from the kingdom of light but also from the kingdom of darkness, it all depends on your will. As expected, the kingdom of light will radiate truth, whereas the kingdom of darkness will transmit entirely earthly, material thoughts to people with the intention to spread them. From an earthly point of view, mental activity is indeed the function of organs, but they actually only receive and process the transmissions from the spiritual kingdom which affect the organs. Because the origin of every thought will always be found in spiritual spheres, since the work of the spiritual kingdom’s inhabitants is to influence people mentally, and thus they endeavour to pass on their own ideals to people. And thus valuable but also worthless, even harmful, ideas can flow from this kingdom, and it is up to the human being himself to evaluate the importance of what he receives .... By using his will he can guide his thoughts into the right or the wrong direction, and the beings in the spiritual realm will always eagerly support his will. The human being has to be informed how he can contact the beings of light if he wants to acquire pure truth, if he wants his thoughts to be right, just as he should be informed of the cause of wrong thinking in order to protect himself from it. Hence he has to be taught that the transmission of mental concepts from the spiritual realm is the result of his conduct, which is more or less in accordance with God’s will and thus more or less induces the beings of the spiritual kingdom to hand out truth or untruth ....

Just as the human being’s will behaves towards God the spiritual beings’ behave towards the human being, and this is reflected in the transmission of spiritual knowledge, in thoughts and the intelligence of the human being. Because the beings of light are only able to come into contact with people who give themselves to God, who aspire towards God, or the influence from the kingdom of light against his will would inhibit the human being’s will. Whereas the forces of darkness can likewise only get access to those of God-opposing will and who show this in their heartless behaviour, thinking and talking. Because these beings’ influence is powerful but only effective if the human being abandons himself to them. However, if his will is turned towards God he can protect himself at any time from these forces by calling upon the beings of light and by requesting God’s help. This person’s thinking will always be guided right because the beings of light will not meet with opposition as they impart their spiritual knowledge to him.

The forces of darkness usually try to draw people’s thoughts towards earthly matters and to prevent their desire for spiritual knowledge, or to distort it and then offer it infiltrated by lies and errors so that they find themselves in complete ignorance and falsehood, because every spiritual being only gives what it has itself .... The kingdom of darkness will never offer the truth since, due to their obstinate will, no light is shining for the beings. These forces will always endeavour to maintain a person’s materialistic attitude, and they will always meet with his approval as long as his will is not turned towards God. People’s thinking will only be right and their ideas only correspond to the truth where the beings of light are able to work. And thus God’s most important commandment has to be fulfilled first .... the human being has to live with love .... Only then can he also tell his fellow human beings that his mental concepts are true and from the realm of light. Only then will he fulfil the first condition given by God so that he can guide people into truth himself and he need never fear to go astray, i.e. live in error, because he is then under the direct influence of the beings of light who work on behalf of God by transmitting wisdom to those who finally have relinquished their resistance to God ....

God’s spiritual and physical care for His Own ....

B.D. 3701 from March 1st 1946, taken from Book No. 47

Whatever you require will be given to you by My love, all depending on need and belief .... but first I will consider your souls. Therefore, I will occasionally refuse to give something to your body, so that it will not stop the soul from receiving spiritual knowledge. For when the body receives little the soul can be more receptive, since it will recognise its human weakness and lack of strength when it does not receive its strength from above. However, an obstinate soul can also ignore the right kind of knowledge, it can descend into a state of total inactivity and only pay attention to the body and its needs, in which case the body’s suffering will be in vain. However, My love will use this method as long as there is the slightest chance that the soul will take the right path and turn to Me with its request for help. But a devout person who always places his trust in Me will not be left in worldly hardship, even though it will affect him too for his own and his fellow human being’s sake, because his sincerity of prayer to Me should increase, the connection with Me should gradually take place more often, since the need of the time necessitates it, spiritually as well as worldly. I will take care of My Own, and the more they believe in Me, the kinder I will be, but even My Own will at times feel their bodies’ distress for their own benefit. Because My often miraculous help, My loving care, will bring them increasingly closer to Me and thus intensify their strength and faith. The approaching time will be hard for humanity and only bearable with firm belief in Me and My constant willingness to help.

But I will not place an intolerable burden on you .... I will help as soon as you yourselves want to be helped and make it known by fulfilling My will. I want to eradicate your selfishness, I want you to become sensitive to your fellow human beings’ plight, and if you endeavour to change in accordance with My will, I shall not let you perish in the distress of your body and soul. For although humanity wants to doubt Me, although it constantly questions My whereabouts because I allow misery and hardship to happen .... I will become evident to My Own and time and again will help them .... Thus every human being should endeavour to belong to My Own, to believe in Me, i.e. acknowledge My love, omnipotence and wisdom, to trust in Me and comply with My commandment of love .... Then he will feel My presence, he will be able to convince himself of My loving guidance, because My love will seize him and I will carry his burden on his behalf and he will live .... worldly, for as long as it is destined for him, and eternally .... Because My Own can never become lost or be without strength. And they will always receive strength and grace, I will fortify them spiritually and worldly and give them what is needed by body and soul. For I gave people My Word that I shall provide for them like a father for his children, and My Word is truth and will remain so for all eternity ....

Transmission of truth from the realm of light ....

B.D. 3702 from March 2nd 1946, taken from Book No. 47

The light shines from above .... The light can never come from below, it can only ever shine into the abyss, and darkness can never be transmitted to earth from the regions above, it can only ever come from the abyss, from the realm of darkness which, in contrast to the realm of light, only harbours dark beings to whom the light has to be sent first. But neither happiness nor bliss will ever be found in darkness, whereas everything in the realm of light is blissfully active and this activity concerns itself solely with the spreading of light. Light, however, is truth, light is the recognition of the eternal Deity, the knowledge of His will, of His work .... Furthermore, light is the knowledge of the correlation between all visible things, of the relationship between the creations with their Creator, light is the knowledge of the meaning and purpose of God’s work, the knowledge of the task and goal of all spiritual beings .... Light is the recognition of the eternal truth from God .... And this knowledge can only be sent from above to the beings on earth as well as to the fallen spirits in the beyond from the kingdom that is governed by God, where everything is inspired by love and permeated by God’s strength. Here is the origin of truth, of right knowledge, and not in the abyss where, due to lack of strength and light, the spreading of truth is impossible, where the spiritual beings’ strength only consists of scattering error and lies, because this strength emanates from the prince of lies who wants to replace the truth and therefore God.

But where truth is taught it also had to be received from above, it had to originate from the kingdom which is full of light and strength .... The recipient of truth has to aspire to ascend, his thoughts need to be directed towards God, thus towards good, his will and his actions have to show justice, and the right relationship with God has to be established through heart-felt, humble prayer, then light will flow down from the kingdom of light. Because every person’s good will is seized and used for the human being’s spiritual progress by the beings whose sole activity consists of releasing the bound spirits, the ignorant and thus those who live in darkness, and this can only happen through the transmission of light, of pure truth from above. Such will is never ignored, but neither can a human being be guided into truth against his will. Due to most people’s God-opposing will earth is engulfed in deepest darkness. And yet, lights are flashing everywhere because the beings of light are actively fighting darkness everywhere. Every human heart that sends its questions into eternity with the desire for light, for clarification about God, about meaning and purpose of earthly life, is, by its thoughts, making itself receptive to these beings who can give him complete illumination, who also instantly ignite a tiny light in him, who guide his thoughts into the right direction, who try to influence him into communicating increasingly more with the spiritual kingdom.

And thus rays of light are shining everywhere into the spiritual darkness covering the earth because God, the eternal light, is always willing to transmit it into every heart ready to receive it. Hence it follows that God will also always take care of the distribution of pure truth, because it is His aim to fully enlighten every spiritual essence, to completely dispel the darkness and to carry the light into the realm of darkness in order to bring about a change in the spirits there too, so that they, too, will be able to reach the state of bliss one day, which necessitates pure truth .... the light from heaven .... which disperses all darkness. The light shines from above and only truth can come from above .... And thus the human being inevitably has to strive to ascend in order to receive light in abundance. For although the light shines down to earth it can only touch people who lift their willing hearts to God and, by living their lives in accordance with God’s will, shape themselves into a vessel for the reception of His light, the pure truth. Then, however, the Eternal Truth will be working there Himself, It will distribute truth without end, It will permeate the human heart with its light and drive out all spiritual darkness ....

B.D. 3703 from March 3rd 1946, taken from Book No. 47

Henceforth you shall always have to request My help in earthly as well as in spiritual hardship if you don’t want to succumb in your struggle for existence. Admittedly, you can also emerge victoriously without appealing for My help, but in that case you are already under the influence of My adversary who is giving you strength to overcome but claims your souls in exchange for payment. To be fortified by this strength in future will cause you immense damage since you will lose yourselves in the kingdom of darkness for an eternity, you will trade this short time of strength with an eternity of weakness during which you will have to suffer enormously due to your failure not to have asked for My help. The approaching time is only endurable with My support, with My contribution of strength and thus without danger for your souls. And yet it is up to you whether you want to call upon Me. The severe hardship should prompt you but I Myself won’t compel you to do so, by way of hardship I only want to encourage you to contact Me, since otherwise I cannot transmit strength to you. Life will be difficult and painful for each and everyone who does not carry Me in his heart ....

But you will find relief when you turn to Me for help. My love shall help you endure, it helps every person who faithfully trusts in Me, because the severe hardship has to affect humanity for its own sake, as the last resort to win them over to Me and My kingdom. I want to make their hearts receptive to My Word, and thus the severe hardship will still accomplish My aim, namely that they hunger for a Word of comfort, for an explanation of their adversity, and that they then seriously consider My Word in their hearts and with good will can recognise Me. For there are many misguided souls who have missed the right path, who shall be led back by My Word, which reveals to them the truth in its fullness. Although the suffering will also close many hearts to My Word and they cannot be opened by force, but blessed be the one who endures without approaching My adversary for help in terms of unkindness towards other people and bad thoughts and speech, because he will be apparently helped by him and provided with all manner of support to win him over completely. Don’t try to improve your earthly life with renewed unkindness, accept your fate patiently and humbly, and come to Me .... I shall always help you if only you request My help, if only you find the way to Me and humbly bow before Me and entrust yourselves to My mercy.

I will never send a sincerely pleading person away without help, you all have to acquire this trust if the severe hardship is to be endurable for you. You can always be certain of My loving care when you deliver yourselves to Me, when you acknowledge Me and thus do not exclude Me from your thoughts .... But anyone who fails to do so is in dire psychological difficulty which only his own will can lessen. Time is short and shall become ever more apparent as the end time because Satan works visibly, he impels human beings into actions of most blatant cruelty, which always results in earthly hardship and suffering, and he poisons people’s thoughts where he does not meet resistance with a will that is turned towards Me. And human beings should beware because now the last test of earthly life needs to be won; they should open their eyes to the signs of the time, to the conduct of human beings who are clearly ruled from below, and also observe the work from above .... they should listen to My Word’s messengers who can give comprehensive clarification about meaning and purpose of the final severe hardship and about the eternal plan of Salvation, which has to take its course as it is destined and My wisdom has deemed appropriate since eternity .... They should pay heed to their warnings and reminders, and the arduous time will pass by everyone endurably who is of good will and calls upon Me in need ....

Amen

Spiritual rebirth ....

B.D. 3704 from March 5th 1946, taken from Book No. 47

Spiritual rebirth is the human being’s objective on earth, otherwise the soul will also be without life when the body dies, but since it is immortal it cannot entirely fade away. Spiritual rebirth means life for the soul, but life for the soul without spiritual rebirth is impossible. However, the human being will be spiritually reborn when he seeks contact with the spiritual realm of his own accord. The human soul is no longer content with the body’s life, but it cannot find fulfilment of its desire in the earthly world either and aspires towards the realm to which it really belongs, and depending on the sincerity of its will the human being will be reborn sooner or later. Kind-hearted activity is absolutely necessary for the attainment of spiritual rebirth, since this revives the person’s spirit. Through actions of love the dormant spiritual spark within the soul unites with the eternal Father-Spirit, it becomes active, and activity is life .... If, by his deeds of love, the human being gives the spiritual spark within himself the opportunity to become active, he will have become spiritually reborn and can no longer descend into the state of death. Once the spirit is awakened it will never disregard him, it will constantly influence its surrounding shell, i.e. the spirit will influence the soul and through it also the human being’s body, urging him into kind-hearted actions and thereby advancing the soul’s higher development. Spiritual rebirth cannot be intellectually achieved, neither will nor words can make it happen, only a will that is put into action results in it, and these actions need to be deeds of unselfish love for other people. A person’s spirit will only come alive through love, it will only move into action through deeds of love, and thus only through love can the soul achieve eternal life, which is the consequence of spiritual rebirth. But anyone who has love also lives in constant contact with the Eternal Love, and thus the eternal Father-Spirit will also constantly influence the spiritual spark in the human being .... Eternal Love will draw to Itself what is striving to shape itself into love .... And then there will be no more death for the soul .... Then there will only be life, i.e. uninterrupted activity in strength and light; then the shackle of death has been removed, then death has been conquered ....

Hence a spiritually reborn person will never fear his body’s death because his soul knows the transience of all earthly things as well as the immortality of everything in the spiritual realm, it does not fear its earthly death because its eternal life is guaranteed. It does not merely believe in the soul’s life after the death of the body but it has become certain of it, because it is instructed by the revived spirit, because the knowledge it receives from the spirit results in profound conviction .... Hence its faith has become unwavering because it carries the evidence within itself .... the awakened spirit, which is part of the eternal Father-Spirit. A spiritually reborn human being has no further doubt in regards to spiritual knowledge, because the working of the spirit within him also includes ever-increasing understanding, recognition of the eternal Deity and His reign and activity, as well as the knowledge of God’s eternal plan of Salvation .... His imparted knowledge is not mere faith, since the wisdom of what is presented to him is so self-evident in the eyes of the spiritually reborn person that he needs no further evidence but he is fully convinced of its truth, which he can now call his own mental concept because his heart and intellect have absorbed it. Therefore the spiritually reborn person need no longer search, through love he has found what he was looking for. Thus love is the key to wisdom, and wisdom is knowledge which corresponds to truth, which emanates from and leads back to the spiritual kingdom ....

However, a human being can only be reborn in spirit if his soul ignores the body and merely strives to bring the spirit to life who, thus, even if unaware of success, relinquishes what the body desires of his own accord, in order to give it to those who suffer hardship and are in need of spiritual or worldly help. Giving away worldly goods for the sake of selfless love will bring him spiritual wealth. However, distributing spiritual wealth will result in immense growth within himself, because God’s spirit can then work in the human being without restriction, He will give truth, which signifies eternal life .... Life, however, is uninterrupted activity .... The spiritually reborn person can no longer be inactive, but will then diligently work for the kingdom of God .... he will take part in Christ’s act of Salvation for erring souls on earth, because the spirit in him does not rest, like his eternal Father-Spirit it is always and forever active .... And thus spiritual rebirth will always result in the human being feeling urged to work for the spiritual kingdom. He will take little notice of worldly life but keep his attention constantly focussed on spiritual life in the knowledge of its importance and in the desire to help where understanding is lacking. Because the spiritually reborn person knows of the darkness on earth, of the lack of strength in people who attach too much importance to worldly life. He knows of the souls’ hardship, of their spiritual death even on earth and one day in eternity, where they are far more conscious of their helpless state, where it is an agonising state for them and the soul can no longer be helped if it continues to reject all advice as it had done on earth. The spiritually reborn human being is aware of his mission and will follow it with love and eagerness. He radiates light, and good for him who is not offended by this light .... good for him who takes notice of the person who wants to bring him light, who seeks to awaken him into life too .... Spiritual rebirth can be recognised by everyone who is spiritually orientated, because true wisdom is recognisable by every willing person, because where there is will the spirit’s strength gets activated.

Let your spirit come to life and you will have reached the goal on earth which you were given in the beginning. As soon as the soul detaches itself from the body you will enter the spiritual kingdom with a wealth of strength and knowledge, and all you will leave behind is immature matter which has not yet spiritualised itself on earth .... But you yourselves will enter the realm of the blissful spirits in a free state and nothing will deter you from actively forming and creating, for the love in you will prompt you to do so and cause a state of bliss in you which you are unable to comprehend on earth. Because you will be able to unite with the eternal Father-Spirit Who will draw His children to Himself with burning love to make them eternally happy ....

Amen

The disciple’s teaching ministry before the end ....

B.D. 3705 from March 6th 1946, taken from Book No. 47

If you want to teach you must carry Me in your heart so that I can work through you, so that I can place the Words in your mouth and, in this way, you will always state what is right in My name. Hence you should never proclaim My Word for the sake of earthly success, instead, the love in your heart must impel you to do so, for I Am love Itself, and if you feel love for your fellow human beings and want to help them escape their spiritual adversity you will also carry Me Myself within yourselves. Then your teaching activity will be blessed and you will be more or less successful, depending on your fellow human being’s willingness to love. Once again I Am sending you into the world as My disciples in order to spread the teaching of love .... because people’s spiritual as well as worldly happiness depends on observing and complying with it. The commandment of love must therefore be emphatically proclaimed, which therefore requires determined, faithful and utterly devoted servants to Me on earth, who feel that they are My disciples, who have accepted wisdom from Me, who are lovingly active themselves and can therefore work as My tools on earth .... who can proclaim My will wherever their feet take them. They shall teach, i.e., distribute the pure truth, they shall show others the blessing and strength of love and faith, they shall describe to them the consequences of earthly life in the beyond, they shall awaken and strengthen their faith in My act of Salvation and announce the near end which requires their urgent attention, they shall point out the signs and miracles through which God in His love will reveal Himself before the end in order to reinforce people’s faith and to make them receptive for the strength from Me. I Myself want to work through My disciples and must therefore be able to take abode in their hearts. Consequently, powerful love for Me and their fellow human beings must move their heart, it must feel the spiritual adversity and want to help, and it will shape itself through love into a receptive vessel for My spirit .... I Myself will be able to dwell in My disciple’s heart and work without hindrance .... Then he will teach what I place into his heart and mouth .... And so you need not fear that you are unable to cope with your task, for if you hand yourselves over to Me and offer yourselves to accomplish a task for Me on earth which is exceedingly significant and urgent, you will no longer work by yourselves; instead, you will only help Me to take effect on earth through your will. You will receive the strength to always be lovingly active and thereby draw Me increasingly more sincerely to you .... Then I can teach through you, My disciples, whom I assigned to this teaching ministry in realisation of your will, just as I had taught on earth. I will certainly educate you for this teaching ministry in advance, because it is My will that you shall be completely permeated by the knowledge you are to advocate. Yet if you are teaching I Am the One Who will speak, Who brings every thought, every Word within you to life, Who therefore makes you think and speak according to My will and, for the sake of other people, always within a natural framework, so that they will hear you if they don’t want to hear Me, if they don’t want to believe that I express Myself through you. In that case they will accept the Words as your mental knowledge and they will not be compelled into believing. Nevertheless, you will not say anything else than My will allows for, you will be unable to spread error because I, the eternal Truth Itself, will protect you from this. And thus you shall always and forever be active in My name, for there is little time until the end which must be used in every way for the spiritual wellbeing of those who suffer great adversity.

Amen

Origin of thought ....

B.D. 3706 from March 7th 1946, taken from Book No. 47

You receive your knowledge from the spiritual kingdom .... If you understand this idea you also have faith and therefore accept a mental concept which is not of this world, which would either have to come from the kingdom of infinity or it originated in yourselves, if the former is not acceptable to you. And thus I want to explain to you how your own thoughts relate to the spiritual kingdom ....

Without knowledge you will find it difficult to give an inherent thought the right direction, i.e. truthfully answer a question you raise yourself. You could certainly answer it yourselves, but without any guarantee of truth. And now I ask you where the thoughts which are passing through your brain come from in proportion to your understanding .... Furthermore, I ask you who gave you the gift of thought and what, in principle, is a thought .... You can certainly reply that it is a physical function, an inherent human characteristic that need not have been given to the human being .... Nevertheless, thinking in itself is something tremendous when you take a closer look at the process. It takes place without any observable activity, it is not evident to any other person nor does it leave any noticeable consequences or results. It is a process which can take place anywhere and at any time without the means to be scrutinised by other people. Thus it could already be considered a spiritual process, in contrast to every other activity for which the human being requires his body in some form or other.

Whatever the human being does, he will use a bodily organ to perform the function designated for this part of the body. And it will also always be noticeable. However, this does not apply to the human being’s mind. This can work while the body is completely at rest, although the human being considers the seat of intelligence, the brain, as the organ which also exercises its function. But its function merely consists of receiving thought emanations when it is touched by them. But where is the origin of thought to be found, especially when it does not concern worldly-perceptible but spiritual things, which cannot be grasped by the human being’s senses. The human being occasionally experiences thoughts in a flash although he had previously not intellectually concerned himself with them. And every answer to a self-posed question is also a suddenly emerging thought, which thus has to come from a reservoir, if the person believes that a thought originates in himself. This reservoir has to be somewhere within himself from which he draws the mental concepts during his intellectual activity. Consequently, one should also be able to empty and refill this thought container, if it is to be found inside the human being.

Or it has to be recognised as being external to the human body, it has to be looked for in the spiritual kingdom, which transmits every thought into the human heart in order to be deliberately grasped from there and processed by the thinking organs. The human being’s will to make use of the emanations touching him can fluctuate, and in proportion to this is the person’s outwardly recognisable ability to explain things and be deemed knowledgeable .... Whether and when the person accepts emanations which correspond to the truth will require further instruction, but that he receives these emanations from the spiritual kingdom is a fact and can, after some consideration, also become a conviction. Because something that is not physically perceptible cannot be created by human will, rather it exists as something that has always existed. It has its origin in the spiritual realm, just as all spiritual substances are emanations of God’s strength, which is accessible to the human being in proportion to his will. But thought is, in fact, the evidence that the human being is a carrier of spiritual essence and who, as an earthly constrained being, is able to make mental contact with the spiritual kingdom. He can lift himself in thought into this realm, he can detach himself from earth and mentally reside in spiritual spheres .... And if he believes that such a stay in the spiritual kingdom is a figment of his own imagination, it should be explained that the human being cannot think of or imagine anything that does not exist .... that everything he imagines also exists somewhere, and the thoughts are more or less a reflection of what the person is trying to ascertain by virtue of his will. Only, the images can be offered to him in a distorted way, but this is also caused by his will. However, the human brain is never the origin of thought, it is merely the device which has to receive mental concepts touching it from the spiritual realm if they are to become perceptible to the person. It is beyond doubt, even for the unbelieving person, that he has to receive wisdom first, that he cannot bring it forth from himself unless it is in him ....

But this requires a stronger faith, because then he also has to acknowledge the Divinity in himself which rests dormant in him and which can also truthfully instruct him from within .... However, in that case he will receive the same explanation, because then he is in direct contact with the spiritual realm, with Me, with the eternal Father-Spirit, Who will instruct him Himself .... and then he will know that all mental concepts are an emanation from Me and that he will receive the absolute truth as soon as he has made contact with Me, the Provider of truth ....

Amen

Coming in the clouds .... Last days ....

B.D. 3707 from March 8th 1946, taken from Book No. 47

My coming in the clouds will be preceded by a time of the most awful suffering ever seen on earth, as proclaimed in Word and Scripture. I will constantly draw people’s attention to this and have done so ever since the start of this era in order to strongly advise those who are not walking the right path to change their mind. For the sake of these humans I used to occasionally let plagues come upon earth to remind them of the approaching end so that they seriously consider their souls and change themselves. But the last days had not yet arrived, the period of redemption had not yet reached the time chosen by Me in accordance with My plan of eternity. The earth was not yet ready for the last work of destruction, neither were people’s souls ready for their total downfall, i.e. for their banishment into the creations of a new earth .... But My prophecies would always fulfil themselves in times of greatest spiritual hardship .... when increased affliction and misery came upon earth, so that during each time of such hardship the approaching end had to be dreaded. And it was My intention that the precise time of the last days should always remain hidden from people .... Such times of need were also more or less successful for the people involved as they found their way back to Me and entered into a different relationship with Me than before. But they became ever more persistent, and their distance, their opposition, from Me grew ever larger ....

And thus the time has arrived when no description, no admonition and warning will have an effect, when humanity remains unimpressed even in the light of utmost worldly suffering, i.e. when the latter does not lead to people recognising Me and entering into the right relationship with Me .... Their will remains opposed to Me, they are purely earthly minded and do not strive for any kind of spiritual progress. No adversity, irrespective of how harsh it is, will be able to change people’s thoughts, and thus the time of the end has irrevocably come, as I have known since eternity .... The earth has ceased to be a place of spiritual education for its inhabiting humanity, and as a result it will be dissolved and its creations totally reshaped, so that a new period of redemption can begin .... And thus enormous suffering will come upon earth, so that the last people can still gather who recognise My voice therein. And even My Own will have to experience this suffering, although extraordinarily strengthened by Me but also affected by it so that they longingly anticipate My coming, which I always and forever proclaimed for the end of this earth. And when the hardship gets unbearable, when the believers find themselves in greatest distress and see no earthly way of rescue, I will come Myself ....

And there will be rejoicing amongst My Own when they see Me in all glory, but for their physical eyes still veiled by clouds which soften the intensity of My light, so that My Own, who still belong to the earth, will be able to endure Me. They will be triumphant and shout for joy because My Word has come true .... But the immense hardship, which I have announced time and again through My seers and prophets, through My servants on earth, will have strengthened their faith. Because everything will come to pass as I have foretold, and thus they will wait for My coming in the clouds with complete confidence .... And yet I will arrive suddenly and unexpected even for My Own .... For I will shorten the days of suffering because they will become intolerable and I do not want My Own to grow faint-hearted in view of the immense difficulties. And thus I will take them into My realm at the right time, and then the end will come .... Because My Word is truth and will come to pass, and the time of the last days has arrived ....

Amen

Spiritual turn ....

B.D. 3708 from March 9th 1946, taken from Book No. 47

A spiritual upheaval, that is, a total change of people's spiritual state, also requires a total transformation of everything that is the carrier of the spiritual. This is to be understood in such a way that the visible creations must first release the spiritual so that it can reach higher maturity in a new form. Consequently, the spiritual embodied as a human being must also be released from its external form, for this spiritual is decisive for the spiritual state on earth, which has currently reached a low as never before in this period of development and which is therefore the cause of a total transformation of the earth. This regressed spiritual substance must first be brought into a form which corresponds to its maturity before the spiritual substance, now embodied as a human being, can move in an elevated spiritual state, before a spiritual turning point occurs in which the human being is closer to God and everything remote from God can no longer oppress him. Such a spiritual change therefore necessitates the destruction of visible creations and also the physical downfall of people, with the exception of those who have established contact with God through their faith and love and are therefore close to God and therefore need not fear another earthly life. These will experience the spiritual turning point, due to their elevated state of maturity they will witness the complete destruction of all living things on earth and the destruction of their external form and yet not be affected by it themselves. They will first go through the deepest depth of human mentality in order to then be led upwards through God's great love .... The previously lightless state on earth will give way to a state of brightest light, there will be a change of immense significance, a transformation of all thinking of the earth's inhabitants and the right relationship with God will be established first, which is why happiness and bliss will also be part of people on earth who will now start a new period of development in fullest harmony and loving activity. And this spiritual upheaval cannot take place until the spirits have first completely decided, until they themselves are clear about the direction of their will .... All half-heartedness must decide, it must be preceded by an open confession to God or His adversary, for God does not condemn what is not opposed to Him as a fundamental adversary .... He takes pity on every weakness of will and seeks to remedy it, He seeks to help the weak so that it will find the right path and tread it. But if the being has decided to rebel against God, then the hour of the end has also come, then the die has been cast which determines the spiritual being's fate for eternity. Then the day of judgement has come, the complete separation of the spirits and the complete destruction of that which holds spiritual things on earth. Then the time will have come which will be followed by the spiritual turning point .... a state on earth where the human being only carries God-oriented spiritual substances within himself, where he lives in love and intimate communion with God in peace and bliss, where he works and creates according to God's will .... and where all spiritual substances still bound in form strive upwards and continue their interrupted course of development, but where hard matter is the carrier of the spiritual substances embodied on the old earth as human beings, which now start their course of development through the creations of the new earth again and have to cover it under hard conditions in order to one day reach the free decision of will again .... And therefore you humans do not expect a spiritual change on this earth, for this has become impossible due to the all too far distance from God, which can only be reduced in the aforementioned way. You must familiarize yourselves with the thought of a complete dissolution and destruction of the creations visible to your eye, otherwise you will neither be able to muster understanding for the last judgment nor for the new earth and its paradisiacal state .... You must believe what is made known to you, otherwise you will not be able to expect the coming of the lord either, which can only appear possible to you in profound faith in God's omnipotence, love and justice, which would find no human explanation and therefore will only take place when the last day has come .... when it will be impossible for all unbelievers to continue living as human beings and the miracle of the lord's coming will no longer mean a compulsion to believe for the believer .... For everything is understandable to the spiritually awakened person, because God's love and omnipotence is the reason for everything that happens ....

Amen

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

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

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

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

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

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

Amen

Announcements to be taken literally .... end .... future - present ....

B.D. 3710 from March 11th 1946, taken from Book No. 47

If you do not yet consider the time to have come when what is proclaimed in word and scripture will be fulfilled, then you will be surprised, for My will will come into action as it has been determined since eternity. If you have an open eye and discernment for humanity's spiritual state you will also not doubt My word and prepare yourselves every day for the fulfilment of My announcements. And only those who are still blind in spirit reckon with a more distant time, even if they are believers, i.e. if they acknowledge Me as the controller of all destinies. Yet the closer knowledge of the connection between all creations and their creator .... the knowledge of the human being's task on earth and the consequences of not observing it would give people the certainty that the end has approached and all doubt would be invalidated. However, they lack this knowledge and therefore only few realize that there is only little time left for people's spiritual development. And as long as they pay more attention to earthly development the last time will not be used extensively. People have to prepare themselves daily so that the end will not frighten them. But who will do this if he does not yet consider the time to have come which signifies the end of a redemption period? .... Every thought of postponement is detrimental to the souls. And when I inform you through My messengers whom I instruct Myself, when I want to initiate you into My plan of salvation and inform you that you only have a short time left, then accept these words of Mine with utmost faith; consider that I will not send you these admonitions and instructions in vain and adjust your life accordingly .... Count on a speedy end and take everything I proclaim to you through My servants on earth literally. Consider that one day the future will also become the present, and if you don't believe the words alone then look at the life and activity of the people around you, look at what is happening everywhere, recognize the spiritual state of the whole of humanity on earth which outdoes itself in unkindness and actions which do not correspond to My commandment of love. And this realization must be your confirmation of My announcements, you must see from it in which hour you live and thus expect My intervention daily and hourly, for it precedes the last end which will follow in not too long a time. I instruct My servants in such a way that you must recognize that I train them for a mission. This, too, must be proof to you of the soon working of these servants, for I do not need scholastically instructed proclaimers of My word but people who have shaped themselves into receptacles of My word through their way of life so that they can convincingly stand up for My word. And thus they will soon have to take up office in order to be successfully active for Me and My kingdom on this earth. And if someone accepts My word from their mouth and is likewise willing to serve Me, to be active for Me in the last days before the end, he will also consider the time to have come, he will himself realize the necessity of My activity in the last days and not doubt My word .... he will reckon with the very near time when he will be admitted to work for Me, for he who faithfully receives My word also feels the nearness of the end .... He recognizes humanity's low level and knows that there can be no more spiritual ascent on this earth. But anyone who only pays attention to world events has no view for the spiritual state of the whole of humanity, and therefore he also does not want to acknowledge that the time of the end has come. Yet surprisingly quickly the day will arrive which I have determined since eternity as the end of a redemption period .... And therefore always and constantly wait for it and prepare yourselves so that you need not fear this day ....

Amen

Struggle of light against darkness and victory ....

B.D. 3711 from March 12th 1946, taken from Book No. 47

Everything divine will be opposed, i.e. all good, God-aspiring action and thinking .... Wherever only one God of heaven and earth is acknowledged, the adversary will arise in the form of completely unloving people who will harm the believer in every way. And the believers will also be recognizable through their activity in love, and this will attract enemies, for people who are themselves devoid of all love unconsciously sense the superiority of the one who lives in love. And thus they will be driven by God's adversary to works of hatred and unkindness towards those people because he seeks to render them harmless. It is an open battle against God which will take place shortly. People who carry God in their hearts will appear weak and helpless before the world, for they will find no earthly protection and are exposed to measures and persecutions by people who are hostile towards God. Yet they have an invisible helper by their side Who protects their souls and helps them bear the earthly adversity .... And they will be full of strength and not fear the adversary who tries to spiritually rape them in every way. And thus it is up to the human being himself, i.e. his will, which power he wants to be subject to. He need not comply with the desire of God's enemies as long as there is just a spark of faith in him in the eternal deity, Which is loving and omnipotent and therefore leaves none of Its followers to the enemy. The will to believe results in even the weakest faith being strengthened, that the human being inwardly becomes ever more convinced of God's reign and activity and completely abandons himself to His care .... And God's adversary will meet with hard resistance .... the believers will not allow themselves to be disturbed and despite worldly measures, despite threats and harshest decrees against them they will act unhesitatingly as God demands of them, for they only recognize Him as ruler, but they do not observe earthly commandments as soon as they are contrary to divine commandments. And thereby they also openly profess God and His teaching before the world .... And thus they will also mention the name of Jesus without shyness, despite prohibition, despite decrees and threats concerning the confession of His name. For believing people recognize the activity of the antichrist and thus also the truth of what God has proclaimed through His messengers. For He had pointed out this activity a long time before, and if His announcements are now fulfilled this will only increase the strength of faith and people will feel more connected to God than ever. The battle against God, against everything good, against His teaching and His name will flare up most fiercely, yet it will also be waged on the side of the believers with perseverance and tenacity and under the leadership of the supreme commander Himself .... God will fight with His believers and give them superhuman strength. And although the host of His fighters is only small in comparison to the adversary it will nevertheless be insurmountable, and the battle will end in complete defeat, for God will not let the testing of His believers last long, He Himself will shorten the days, He Himself will end the battle as soon as the spirits have completely decided, as soon as people have taken one side or the other of the fighters and thus have passed the final test as to whom they acknowledge as their ruler. And then is the end, then is the day of judgement, the day of the victory of light over darkness ....

Amen

Prudence and gentleness ....

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

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

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

Amen

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

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

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

Amen

Prayer for grace and strength ....

B.D. 3714 from March 15th 1946, taken from Book No. 47

When you approach Me from the bottom of your heart with a request for strength and grace you will certainly receive it, even if it is not instantly recognisable as help, since grace and strength affect the soul more than the body. The human being as such can still be subject to affliction but it will not touch the soul as much, so that the human being remains calm and collected due to his soul’s strength, and yet the physical affliction still needs to be overcome. Thus I do not always remove it from the person but I will give him the strength to bear what I inflict on him. He will not experience something as severely as someone without faith who does not desire and request My gift of strength. Not the misfortune itself constitutes its severity but the state of the human being who, being weak, is doubly affected by every hardship. But My grace and strength is always at your disposal and, providing you make use of it, even the most difficult earthly life will be bearable for you and always of benefit for your soul, because as a result of My strength and grace its shell will be gradually dissolved .... For as soon as the human being joins Me, as soon as he makes contact with Me by praying for strength and grace, I will be able to reveal Myself to him by giving him strength, and depending how much I can develop his soul, his earthly ambition will be reduced accordingly .... The strength of My grace urges the soul towards the spirit within itself and away from material possession. My grace and strength has the effect that a person becomes inwardly strong, that he disassociates himself from the external world and tries to make contact with the spirit in himself, and thus he achieves spiritual progress when he tries to alleviate worldly hardship with My support, with My supply of grace and strength. But such a request will never remain unfulfilled, a person who approaches Me with this appeal will never fail to benefit. And he will also always notice how much stronger he is after a heart-felt prayer to Me, albeit worldly hardship is not yet resolved.

On the one hand this is intended to make the person aware of his weakness and lack of strength and to encourage him to approach the One Who can remedy it, but on the other hand it should also strengthen his faith when he receives such obvious help after his heart-felt appeal to Me. A soul which strives towards Me will always derive spiritual benefit from the body’s distress, because it will always take flight to Me and every heart-felt prayer will provide it with strength and grace, which will then take effect in accordance with its state of maturity .... visibly and noticeably for the body too or just perceptible for the soul, depending on how suitable it is deemed by My wisdom and love. But I will never leave anyone without strength who requests it from Me .... For I will fulfil every appeal for spiritual wealth and, providing it is beneficial to you, also for earthly help. And thus you will be able to feel Me even during utmost adversity, you need not be discouraged and despondent providing you entrust yourselves to My love and grace, providing you want to accept My strength and confirm this in sincere conversation with Me. I know of all your difficulties, your weaknesses and doubts, but I want you to hand them over to Me in prayer so that you know when they are removed by My love, by My supply of strength and grace .... so that you will learn to recognise Me in everything that affects you. I speak to you through hardship just as I reveal Myself to you through help .... And if you stay in close contact with Me you will not fear any hardship, no matter how harsh it appears to be, because all strength and grace is at your disposal due to My love. I will take care of you until the end of your life, physically and spiritually and, providing you believe this without doubt, you will lose all fear of every severe hardship facing you, because you will always be able to overcome it with My grace and My strength ....

Amen

Promise of eternal bliss ....

B.D. 3715 from March 16th 1946, taken from Book No. 47

Why do you fear for your earthly fate when I promise you a far more beautiful one in eternity? .... Believe in Me and My word and you will lose all earthly fear, for if you are inwardly convinced that My word is truth, if you therefore firmly believe in My love, wisdom and omnipotence, then you will also know that My promises will come to pass, and then you will be able to take upon yourselves all suffering and hardship, all privations and tribulations with a joyful heart, for they will only last for a short time in order to then give way to an eternal life in bliss. You only lack faith and are therefore anxious and fear the coming time. But if you believe that I am, that I am full of love and work without limitation, you should have no doubts about the fulfilment of My promises, because My word is purest truth and has to be fulfilled in everyone who fulfils My will, who makes an effort to live in accordance with it, who thus strives towards Me in thought, word and deed. And he need not fear earthly adversity, for it only affects the body and will also be bearable for the body, but the soul remains unaffected and wins the final victory, it enters the kingdom of peace, towards a life full of bliss. Let the short time on earth, which you still have to live through, also be full of earthly hardship and sorrow .... it will pass quickly, it will pass, just as all suffering and hardship pass, but My word will not pass forever .... and My word promises you eternal happiness .... And even if you cannot grasp it on earth, even if you cannot form an idea of what this bliss consists of on earth, My word must suffice you that I want to prepare a blissful fate for you, and therefore believe and do not be afraid .... Humbly accept everything I send upon you and know that all earthly adversity will come to an end one day. But also know that you can reduce it yourselves through your own will if you carry everything that oppresses you to Me, if you sincerely ask Me to help you carry your cross, if you help your fellow human beings where and how you are able and also secure My strength of love through unselfish loving activity for your neighbour, which enables you to overcome and endure everything. For as you distribute love, My love flows to you in the form of strength and grace, in the form of My word, which imparts it to you at all times, which you can mentally receive from Me Myself or which you may also accept through My messengers .... My love will always consider you according to your worthiness, but this depends on your activity of love. And therefore you need not fear any earthly tribulation as long as you are lovingly active yourselves, for I will always support you even in earthly adversity. But if you focus your attention on the soul, on your spiritual well-being, you will find it easier to endure the short span of your earthly life with regard to eternal beatitude, for you will always abide by My word which has promised My own all glories in the father’s house, by the word which has to come to pass because My word is and will remain truth for all eternity ....

Amen

Danger of idleness ....

B.D. 3716 from March 17th 1946, taken from Book No. 47

You should not give yourselves to laziness during the time of the last days, you should not stay inactive and indifferently await the end, but instead you should work tirelessly, spiritually as well as earthly, where necessary. For your soul only benefits from activity and never from a state of rest. Moreover, the end time will necessitate vigorous activity as a result of severe hardship which will force the human being to participate in every kind of work. For only those who betray Me, who have completely deserted Me, will have a good living standard. Those who abide by Me will have to struggle with acute hardship, worldly too; nevertheless, with My help they will be able to overcome it if they work diligently. But I will keep them occupied until the end, I do not want them to stay inactive and wait for My help since I do not want them to run the danger of deserting Me by comparing their life with the life of the atheists and begin to falter in their faith in Me. Diligent activity will protect them from misguided thoughts because activity is life, and as long as a task is performed for the benefit of other people it is also a blessing for the human soul. And the difficulties of the time will necessitate supportive action for other people, My Own will have to be very industrious, and even the representatives of My Word, My servants on earth, are not exempt, and I will bless everyone's efforts and remove their worst hardship although it will seem to the world as if the human being helps himself .... since My help only shows itself visibly to the world when the strength of faith is intended to become evident.

However, every person will be able to work and aspire spiritually in spite of utmost demands on his physical strength before the end .... If he aspires towards Me, My spiritual strength will carry out the person's work and his thoughts will be able to freely wander into the spiritual realm, he will be able to be in contact with Me at any time, his physical labour will not prevent him from working for the kingdom of God where appropriate. For I will give everyone a place where he will be able to work physically and spiritually in accordance with his abilities. Besides, time appears to pass more quickly to an active person, whereas the inactive human being extends his own time due to his idleness. Idleness does not lead to any kind of success, neither spiritually nor earthly .... the lord of the underworld takes possession of a lazy human being; he tempts him with worldly promises and diverts his attention from his real task on earth. And, because he wants to improve his life, the idle person follows him only too willingly. And I seriously warn My Own against idleness .... I will bless every deed which is not a blatant unkindness, and My blessing will result in constant help during spiritual as well as earthly hardship. Therefore, remain tirelessly active; remember that there is not much time until the end and that any kind of activity is life. Don't end the experience of life before its time, and also use the flow of vitality correctly, then the spiritual strength will also be increased, you will persevere to the end and need not fear adversities because then you will be living in accordance with My will in this respect too and will always be able to be certain of My protection, My love and My strength ....

Living faith and its strength ....

B.D. 3717 from March 18th 1946, taken from Book No. 47

Living faith can move mountains .... This is just a phrase to you since you have not yet put the strength of faith to the test and thus don’t know its effectiveness, you don’t know that the profoundly faithful human being avails himself of My strength and therefore everything is possible for him. However, how deep should this faith be in order to achieve everything the human being wants? .... In order to possess such strength of faith the human being’s bond with Me must be so heartfelt that he no longer feels like an individual being but as an inseparable part of Me which is permeated by the strength which originates from Me. He must always and forever feel Me close to him, he must have become so certain of My presence that he thinks, speaks and behaves in this conviction. And since he acknowledges Me as supreme Love, Wisdom and Omnipotence, since this belief has therefore become his firm conviction he sets no limits to My activity and thus no limits exist for him either, because he feels himself a part of Me Myself and permeated by My strength. Faith like this accomplishes everything and thus also things which lie beyond human ability. Then he will be able to work miracles and yet they are merely the natural processes of a human being who is how he should be on earth, who has reached his goal and placed his soul into a state of maturity which is close to its original state. Such firm faith necessitates total dedication to Me, complete detachment from earthly things, it requires unification with Me through love .... Only a constantly lovingly active person can have such firm and profound faith, for unification with Me must first have taken place before the person will feel so close to Me that My presence guarantees every action according to My will. The strength of love flowing to him due to his loving activity must fortify his faith because it gives evidence of Me and My presence, and anyone who can feel Me in himself and next to him also knows that he will never ever separate from Me again, that he can also avail himself of My strength with impunity because it is My own will that he should take effect instead of Me in order to prove the strength of faith and love to his fellow human beings, in order to testify to My love and omnipotence which thus provides strength to the living creation whose nature changed into love.

Faith will move mountains .... You should all acquire this profound faith and you, too, will be able to achieve anything on this earth .... First shape yourselves into love, then your faith will also increase and become a living faith, that is, it will be able to become active, whilst faith without love remains lifeless faith, a faith only according to the word but which lacks all strength. The words .... I believe .... are not enough to induce My working through you, for you must be able to truly believe in your heart, and this living faith is only possible through constant activity of love through which you receive the strength from Me in order to be effective and even implement the apparently impossible. Profound faith achieves everything .... Nevertheless, it requires My presence and you can only secure this through loving activity .... Hence, love comes first, and if you lack love you also lack faith, no matter how repeatedly you try to assure your faith through words. So now you can understand why I keep preaching love, why I send My disciples into the world in order to spread My teaching of love. It is certainly possible for you to intellectually acquire faith in a Power Which is exceedingly kind, powerful and wise, yet you can only enter into contact with this Power through activity of love, only then will this faith gain significance, for only then will you be able to avail yourselves of My strength and, in strong faith in Me, let it become effective, as I have promised you ....

Constrained souls .... Act of Salvation ....

B.D. 3718 from March 19th 1946, taken from Book No. 47

Try to put yourselves into the position of a soul which is tied down by evil forces and unable to free itself without help. This is certainly of its own doing but pitiable because of its weakness, because it does not walk the right path, the path to Me as divine Redeemer, Who is able to remedy its weakness of will. It is completely under the influence of these forces who guide its thoughts into the wrong direction in order to keep it from the truth and therefore also from its own salvation. Such a soul is disadvantaged in every way. First of all, due to its misguided thinking it lacks understanding but it is constantly influenced to strive for what will stop it from becoming aware of it. Furthermore, it is encouraged to believe that it is on the right track in order to paralyse its willingness to investigate other avenues .... Hence it has to think and want what My adversary’s forces mentally induce, and the soul itself is not strong enough to offer resistance, which is the result of not acknowledging My act of Salvation .... The human being is engaged in a far greater spiritual struggle against the forces of darkness, and he will lose if he does not call on Me Myself for help, to strengthen his will, for salvation from My adversary’s power.

For he has immense power over the souls, over their will, even though the will is free. He intensifies the weakness of will and the soul cannot defend itself against him by itself as he is far stronger than the soul. Hence I came to the world to help humanity in the fight against their souls’ enemy. Through My death on the cross I brought them salvation from the constrained state, I acquired strength of resistance for every single person who is willing to accept it from My hands .... who acknowledges Me and believes in My act of Salvation. I cannot endow the human being with this strength of increased will against his will if I want to create a free, perfect being which has found Me voluntarily. Thus free will has to be considered in all situations in life if the last goal is to be achieved .... ultimate perfection, thus Godliness of the being which is living on earth embodied as a human being for the test of its will. This test of will necessitates the adversary’s immense power over every individual soul, just as the blessings of My act of Salvation are necessary to overcome this power. Therefore it is My continuous endeavour to make people believe in Me as Redeemer of the world, and by conveying the pure truth I seek to make the act of Salvation, My mission as a human being on earth, comprehensible to them.

However, it is up to every person himself to form his own opinion since I do not force anyone to believe in Me, but he makes it impossible for himself to receive the blessings of the act of Salvation, the reinforcement of his will against My adversary, if he does not acknowledge Me. And then it is extraordinary difficult for the soul to pull itself away from the enemy. Because it does not recognise the danger it is in, it believes to be on the right path, its understanding is clouded because the adversary’s influence also affects the human being’s every thought and activity, so that he will not establish the right relationship with Me and will even be prevented from acting with love. Nor will he allow himself to be taught because the adversary’s influence is stronger than the influence of fellow human beings who want to help him. Only the right attitude towards Me as the Redeemer of the world .... the right attitude towards Jesus Christ and His teaching .... can bring help to a soul, and an effort has to be made for this. If the person can find the will to penetrate the knowledge of Jesus Christ’s mission he will also receive assistance from Me, he will be guided into the right understanding in spite of My adversary’s most eager influence, because I will help wherever I feel but the faintest willingness to come close to Me .... Although the human being cannot muster the understanding for My act of Salvation quickly, as soon as he acknowledges Jesus Christ as God’s representative, as soon as he accepts that He was given a mission by God, his train of thought will be on the right track and he will continue to be guided correctly, and then the adversary will already have lost his power.

But this has to come first before the soul can withdraw from his influence, only then will it be saved, and only then will it be open to all other information. The battle of light against darkness is enormous, and where the light shines it has to be guarded so as not to get extinguished .... The prince of darkness also rages against the bearers of light, and that should prompt them into utmost caution, they should not go near his entrapments, they should take flight when his activity becomes evident, but always let the light shine when someone lingering in darkness desires the light. However, they should never allow My adversary the triumph to have darkened the light from the heavens .... thus never give him the opportunity to successfully influence his victims .... because only where I Am acknowledged is it possible to break his power .... And thus those souls should only ever be informed of the significance of My act of Salvation, so that they can liberate themselves of their own accord, so that they learn to differentiate between truth and error, and through truth alone become blessed ....

Amen

Activity of intellect and heart .... Truth ....

B.D. 3719 from March 20th 1946, taken from Book No. 47

All spiritual knowledge can certainly be processed by the intellect but it first has to be grasped by the heart, whereas worldly knowledge is closer to the intellect than the heart .... And therefore it is understandable that an intellectually very active person would try to ascertain subjects which are closely related to world events, even if he tries to give them a spiritual character .... that he thus would like to investigate My plan of eternity purely because of its worldly outcome, which he believes he can calculate with mathematical certainty .... As long as the human being is still focussing his attention on external events his intellect is more active than his heart .... only when he starts to attend to purely spiritual problems will his heart be active, but then he will take little notice of external life, the unfolding of worldly events, and will only look at these as accompaniment of the actual happening. Only then will he approach the truth, which enters through his heart and wants to be understood by the intellect. It is not possible for a human being to understand My eternal plan of Salvation such that he can establish any intervention by My will. Only when it is revealed through My spirit will it be proclaimed by a prophet in accordance with My will, but I will not disclose the time even to this prophet, as this corresponds to My wisdom. A spiritually aspiring person will also know that it is necessary to keep the date and time of the end secret, consequently he will not ever believe the account of a person who trusts that he can calculate it.

This kind of intellectual activity is a clear indication of an unenlightened spirit, because a spiritually awakened person lets Me rule and work and only aims to achieve utmost maturity for the soul, and by the signs of the time he will recognise humanity’s spiritual low .... He will also know the reason and cause of the spiritual decline, he will know about the correlation of all things and thus also the course (sequence) of events of the earth period in accordance with certain basic laws, he merely finds his knowledge confirmed in the sequence of world events but does not attempt to derive world events themselves from it. World events are indeed also a consequence of spiritual decline, but the latter has to be recognised and heeded first, and thus every single person has to endeavour to first remedy the spiritual hardship, and for this it is essential that the heart is activated first and then the intellect. The serious work on oneself also results in spiritual enlightenment and gives reliable vision for future events, and then the heart is active. However, by using the intellect alone it is not possible to reach the goal of becoming knowledgeable and to understand My plan of eternity .... Because I set a limit to the human being’s intellect which he cannot transcend, but I gave the heart unlimited leeway .... Its spirit, which is part of Me and to which nothing remains hidden, can gain unrestricted access. Therefore, if you want to become wise, i.e. acquire knowledge which corresponds to the purest truth, your heart needs to be constantly active .... Love has to guide you into truth .... but you will never reach the goal by just using your intellect, your knowledge will be and remain inaccurate as long as My spirit cannot become effective in you through the activity of your heart .... through love ....

Announcement of the catastrophe ....

B.D. 3720 from March 22nd 1946, taken from Book No. 47

What My spirit announces to you, accept without resistance. For I make use of you in order to make My will known to people, and thus you may not oppose Me if I want to speak through you. I announce to you that you are already in the beginning of the inner turmoil on earth, that only a short time will pass when I will appear through My might, and that you therefore should not hesitate much longer to prepare yourselves for the time of your activity. If I repeatedly remind you of the hour of My intervention it is for your own sake, for you cannot take the forthcoming period of your life seriously enough, which My intervention will usher in and which will bring you ever closer to the final end. I must always and constantly warn and admonish you so that you don't become lukewarm in your striving upwards .... And if I repeatedly give you a time limit it is only out of love for you, for despite the earthly adversity you still live in bearable circumstances compared to those who will be granted to you after My intervention. And I want to prepare you so that, despite greatest earthly adversity, you will nevertheless become masters of it with My help. Nothing is insurmountable if you appeal to Me for support, yet you should first gain this firm faith. Yet the time limit set for you decreases from day to day, from hour to hour. And the day is irrevocably approaching when I will express Myself through the elements of nature. And therefore I call to you again and again: Remember what lies ahead of you, take My announcements seriously, for I do not speak to you humans through My servants on earth for nothing, reckon with it as surely as you reckon with the night after a day, and prepare yourselves so that after the night a morning will come again for you .... earthly as well as spiritually .... For if I leave you life, you will still have a time of grace ahead of you despite great physical hardship, which you can make full use of for the salvation of your souls. Again and again I knock at your hearts, again and again I point out that the end is near and that I still want to win for Myself those who believe in Me and My word. Again and again I call to you through My messengers: Live in love and your souls will be saved for eternity .... My admonitions and warnings will repeat themselves until the hour has come which I have determined since eternity, which would have been due long ago according to people's spiritual state. But My love and mercy keeps the time limit to give you all the opportunity to work on yourselves with regard to what is coming. Don't let My admonitions and warnings go unheeded but heed them, for the day is no longer far away ....

Nullity of earthly troubles ....

B.D. 3721 from March 23rd 1946, taken from Book No. 47

Let Me rule and do not worry about futile earthly things. For everything that is not for the spiritual good, that is not calculated for eternity, i.e. that serves the soul's best, is futile. And thus every earthly worry is unimportant if you consider that your life will soon be over and that you will then only be judged according to the state of maturity of your souls, but which you can still increase in the short time until the end of your body if only you are willing and listen to My admonitions and warnings. You are still given a short period of time during which you can still collect unmeasured treasures if you only focus your attention on spiritual things and disregard everything earthly if possible. Then I will also sustain you physically and provide you with everything you need until the end of your life .... I will provide you with strength and grace so that you will no longer value earthly life for the sake of earthly things but use every day and every hour to increase your soul's maturity. My strength and grace will always be at your disposal if you request it. But if earthly worries press you too much then you will ignore My source of grace, you will not draw spiritual drink and accept spiritual nourishment, which alone is important in the coming time. What the body needs is regarded as insignificant but the soul in you should give in abundance and constantly ask Me for strength for it. But every earthly worry prevents the soul from receiving spiritual food, but the body will pass away in a short time, while the soul will enter the spiritual kingdom ripe or unripe according to its care on earth. And you should always bear this in mind if the body approaches you too much with its demands .... Pay less attention to it and consider your souls first, and you will not lack anything physically either if you faithfully hand yourselves over to Me and My care ....

Amen

"The kingdom of heaven suffers violence ...."

B.D. 3722 from March 23rd 1946, taken from Book No. 47

So let Me give you an explanation of how I want My word to be understood: "The kingdom of heaven suffers violence, and only those who use violence seize it for themselves ...." It is not to be understood as the exercise of violence towards a fellow human being, but only the violence over oneself, over one's own desires, which helps the human being to gain possession, to seize the heavenly kingdom in all its glory. This cannot be given to him, but he must win it for himself, he must wage a battle for the highest good, for eternal bliss. And as long as the human being dwells on earth this battle will have to apply to his physical desires, the fulfilment of which is always a hindrance to the attainment of the aim .... spiritual ascent .... Whoever wants to win this battle has to do violence to himself .... And thus he has to fight with his adversary who will always put physical desires, the desire for earthly goods, into him, who thus lures him with worldly splendour and earthly splendour. To renounce everything that is offered to him in such a way requires strength of will, it requires violence in itself by virtue of which, however, he will most certainly snatch the kingdom of heaven, for anyone who sacrifices for My sake receives in richest measure, and what is offered to him, what I offer him, is truly of indescribable value. The kingdom of heaven can never come to people who are lukewarm and indolent, who don't struggle but let everything go their way .... who only testify to their desire for the kingdom of heaven through words and wishes but who never let words and wishes become action. And thus the time has come when more than ever force must be used if the kingdom of heaven is to be open to people .... But in My love I come to meet all those who are struggling .... I help them in their fight against themselves by reducing the temptations of this world, by making them aware of the decrepitude and transience of everything they desired and which requires a hard fight against themselves to give up .... I know about the human being's weakness and value his will, thus I support him if he only wants to attain Me and My kingdom but lacks the strength to use force against himself and his desire. And thus I do not demand more use of force than he is capable of .... I let him go through earthly adversity in order to make the kingdom of heaven desirable to him, and if he only wants to use the least amount of force he will also succeed in seizing the kingdom of heaven. But his will must always become active itself. He has to fight against his desires, he has to learn to despise everything worldly and thus sacrifice what is dear to him .... and if his strength and his will is not sufficient for this I will use force .... I draw him to Me and take from him what he does not want to give up of his own accord .... And if he sends himself devotedly into My will, he has passed the inner battle. He has likewise used force and seized the kingdom of heaven with My support, which I will not deny to anyone who is willing and testifies to this through his prayer. The kingdom of heaven is open to him, and once he has completed his short earthly lifetime he will be accepted by Me into My kingdom of glory, as I have promised, and he will be eternally blissful ....

Amen

Detachment from earthly possessions ....

B.D. 3723 from March 21st 1946, taken from Book No. 47

Offer everything that is dear to you on earth as a sacrifice to Me and you will receive what My love bestows on you in abundance and what will make you already supremely happy on earth and later in eternity. If you want to receive you have to be willing to give first; but if you cling to earthly possessions, the wealth of the spiritual realm will be unattainable to you. However, earthly possessions include everything that gives you earthly pleasure, that you consider desirable for your physical needs. You have to gladly and voluntarily sacrifice everything you love on earth to Me, those things that cannot follow you into the spiritual kingdom, in order to receive everlasting riches which will follow you into eternity .... Although you will certainly make sacrifices you will nevertheless exchange them for something incomparably better; it is just a temporary pain of detachment which will soon be followed by a blissful certainty that you will only then own true wealth which is of eternal value.

And if I thus take everything away from you, you should not get disheartened and doubt My love and mercy, My protection, which I nevertheless grant to you even if you don't recognise it. I will only take from you in order to give even more back to you, and if you voluntarily let go of what is dear to you, your body will also receive what it requires. Just your heart should detach itself from everything, for the abundance of My grace needs a place which is devoid of all kinds of earthly longings. Whatever you sacrifice voluntarily need not be taken by Me forcibly, yet the detachment from it has to be carried out if you want to grow in strength and grace, in maturity of soul and spiritual riches, which constitute your wealth in eternity. And thus you will thereby also recognise that I Am only motivated by My love when I take from you, My believers, what belongs to the earth, because I want to make you receptive for My love's spiritual offering; you will learn to understand that I cannot work in you to the fullest extent as long as your love does not belong to Me alone but also applies to the commodities of the world. Consequently it is a blessing when I try to set you free from this love and take from you what you find difficult to give up willingly.

Sacrifice everything to Me, try to detach your hearts from all worldly things, and you will soon feel the blessing of your willingness to make sacrifices, for thereby you will draw Me to you, Who no longer finds any obstacles to work abundantly in you. For you will no longer have the time to overcome earthly longings slowly; you will have to detach yourselves faster and therefore also more painfully, yet it will always be beneficial for you if you submit to My will, if you humbly accept your fate and don't pine after earthly possessions, for the easier you can detach yourselves from them the more receptive and willing is your heart for spiritual gifts, and these will compensate you a thousand fold. For you will only recognise their true worth in the afterlife, in the spiritual kingdom, and then you will be profusely happy if you enter it with a wealth of spiritual possessions and are able to work with them for your own happiness ....

Amen

Willpower .... Strength and might ....

B.D. 3724 from March 24th 1946, taken from Book No. 47

I Am the Lord of heaven and earth, and everything has to submit to My will. Everyone who opposes Me rejects strength of his own accord, i.e. he refuses to accept My strength and is therefore imperfect. But everyone who voluntarily submits himself to My will shall receive My strength without limitation and will be able to work like Me in perfection. Hence the spiritual being’s measure of strength depends on My will and its fulfilment, and the human being on earth will therefore be extremely mighty and strong and use his strength to accomplish exceptional feats if he completely adapts himself to My will, thus totally subordinates his will to Mine. Then his every action will correspond to My eternal will, then his share on earth will neither be disorder nor lack of strength, but he will stand in the midst of My emanation of strength and will be able to work without limitation in every direction but only as far as it corresponds to My will. My strength is not at his disposal for dishonourable activity, as it will instantly leave the person who steps outside of My will. However, once the human being has entered into My eternal order, once he has adopted My will as his own, it will not be possible for him to relapse into an erroneous desire again, because once the strength flows through him it will release him from the power which opposes My will and tries to draw every soul to itself. Then it is no longer be possible to utilise the strength for actions which oppose My will, because My strength will be holding on to him and he will be permanently connected to Me, he will have reached his earthly as well as his eternal goal. Heaven and earth are subject to My will .... And nothing can change against My will .... but for the duration of his life on earth I shall allow the human will complete freedom, I shall not force it to subordinate itself to Me. But once it has entered into My eternal order then will have happened entirely voluntarily, uninfluenced and without any compulsion.

And therefore I will, with much love, seize the spirit which subordinated itself to Me and not let it descend into the restraints of bondage again, into the state of disorder, even if My adversary is incessantly active to regain the spirit which had returned to Me. He cannot compel the human being’s will, and every other influence will fail due to the strength which the person then calls his own, because then he is working in unison with Me, and the adversary will not be able to repel Me. But the human being does not practise the strength of his will enough .... He could achieve phenomenal results but his faith is not strong enough in order to activate his will, and his weakness of faith does not allow the person’s inherent strength to take effect .... Having subordinated his will to Mine he has My strength at his disposal and makes too little use of this strength. He himself does not know or believe how powerful he can be in unity with Me. Because he is still earthly in as much as his thinking adapts itself to earthly natural law, so that he only carries out what naturally appears to be feasible to him .... He does not cross the boundaries which are set for the imperfect human being, precisely because of his imperfection, which he, however, can ignore. Due to his will’s subordination, due to My influx of strength, he has placed himself into a state of perfection which allows him to work outside the framework of natural law but which nevertheless remains natural because it is the result of a certain maturity of soul which the human being can already achieve on earth. As a result of his inadequate belief he is setting his own limitations, which God has not set for him .... Thus the human being can have utmost strength at his disposal and yet not use it enough, because his human earthly thinking holds him back when he should simply let his spirit speak. Because it will instruct him and try to fortify the profound faith in him, on account of which he then can achieve whatever he wants by using My strength. Then he will also work for the benefit of his fellow human beings, only then will the strength of faith reveal itself, because people will then also acknowledge the source of strength (the strength of the source) which the believer draws from, and they themselves will desire to drink from it too ....

Amen

Bearers of light .... God’s protection ....

B.D. 3725 from March 25th 1946, taken from Book No. 47

The light from the heavens can never be extinguished as long as willing servants can be found to accept it and pass it on in order to penetrate the darkness. These servants are My tools who take care to spread the light in My name and who I therefore will not let become weak, because it is My will that the light of day shall penetrate the dark night of spirit. And every earthly and spiritual power will fight this will in vain. Only a person’s will itself can refuse to accept the light, in that case I will not force it .... but then the light will not go out, it will merely be passed on to where it is willingly accepted, where people do not take flight but desire the light. Light in abundance could be everywhere, the night could be dispelled far and wide if people themselves would not prevent it, but that does not imply that I will let My light go out because it shall send its rays to people who hunger for light, whose hunger I want to satisfy. Consequently the bearers of light themselves cannot be touched, even if they are subjected to the worst threats. They will indeed be prevented from spreading My Word, the light from the heavens, but since they are in My service, since they are working on My behalf, the threats of other people will not frighten them .... They will leave the place where they are prevented to work and continue their mission somewhere else. The shining of the light’s rays is far reaching, for wherever I know a human heart longing for the light from the heavens I will send its rays .... My Word will also be taught secretly and far more effectively there than in public, where it is barely noticed. And for as long as I sustain My servant’s life on earth he will be able to work for Me, he will enjoy his work and conduct it diligently, for every light bearer is inwardly enlightened and feels its benefit, and for this reason he is also eager to provide his fellow human beings with the same benefit.

And in spite the world’s attempt to extinguish the light from the heavens it will not succeed, for wherever it is kept in check it will forcibly burst through again and shine more brightly than ever. Because I only lead the bearers of light to where the fire of My love finds nourishment, thus where a willing heart allows itself to be seized and before long begins to shine itself .... Then it will enter into contact with the everlasting light and will never again descend into darkness, and yet again a light bearer has been awakened who will pass on My Word, who will say how he really feels because My spirit encourages him to do so. The light will only be accepted by someone whose heart is harbouring a spark of love, and once I stir this spark of love into a brighter glow with My Word a light will flare up which cannot be extinguished. And thus time and again a new small flame is kindled by My Word, by the light from the heavens, which is nourished by every good deed, by every kind thought, so that it grows and becomes a bright flame which can continue to shine again and penetrate the spiritual night, as it is My will. Hence the bearers of light are blessed by Me and I support their actions on earth, so they need never worry that the light from the heavens could ever go out, because they are accomplishing an important mission, they are in My service, and every lord will protect his labourers and servants when they are in serious danger, so that the work, for which he has hired his servants, shall not be harmed. And thus I, too, will always and forever protect My work as well as My servants on earth, because the battle of light against darkness has to take place .... because the light has to be carried into the night, in order to drive it out ....

Amen

Concern for His Own ....

B.D. 3726 from March 26th 1946, taken from Book No. 47

My Own can always be recognised by their generosity, by their spiritual attitude and their acknowledgment of My name even before the world. They will not shy away from standing up for Me and My teaching of love once the opposing activity becomes ever more evident and people progressively descend into heartlessness, thus distancing themselves from Me. However, My children know that their fellow human beings are in utmost spiritual danger and in great need of clarification, thus they also come forward and don’t hide their attitude towards Me, their God and Father since eternity. Anyone who believes in Me does not fear to confess it before the world; anyone who believes in Me also lives in accordance with My will and always and forever upholds his contact with Me .... Thus he belongs to My Own who will indeed be subjected to severe pressure in the end but who, through their union with Me, are and remain nevertheless stronger until the last day has arrived. For I will never leave My Own and they will believe this very promise of Mine without hesitation, because their spirit is already awakened, and the spirit in them teaches them the same as I reveal to people through My Word. The more harshly they are confronted by earthly hardship, the more they will be filled with My strength, because I will take particular care of My Own during the last days, as to enable them to stay loyal to Me and to resist the adversary. For this reason My Own need not worry how to survive the approaching time ....

Earthly and spiritually I care for those who have already passed their test of will for Me on earth, and who I therefore need not test anymore but only require for the sake of their fellow human beings, so that the latter can recognise the strength which is inherent in faith in Me, in Jesus Christ, the Son of God and Redeemer of the world. Until the end they shall still have the opportunity to gain this faith, and therefore you, My faithful children, have to provide them with the evidence and persevere until the end. Thus I provide you with immense strength because superhuman things are expected of you which you will be able to accomplish because I Am with you and thus you can use My strength. You can let go of every worry when you belong to My Own, and you are My Own when your heart turns towards Me in its desire for My love, for My grace and for truth .... for eternal life .... Because then you will improve yourselves in accordance with My will during your earthly life, then you are truly My children which I will not leave, which I will always paternally care for until the end and then bring back to Me, in order to reward your time of suffering on earth with bliss ....

Amen

Working miracles in the end time ....

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

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

Amen

'Whoso eateth My flesh ....'

B.D. 3728 from March 28th 1946, taken from Book No. 47

Make contact with Me in spirit and you will be able to draw from the source of life, you will be able to satisfy yourselves with the bread of heaven, you will receive strength and need no longer starve despite your earthly hardship, for body and soul will be fortified if you accept My Word, the bread of heaven .... Body and soul will live .... the former as long as I have determined, but the latter in eternity. You only need to nourish the soul, to provide it with the nourishment which ensures its life, since a lifeless soul in an lively body is your downfall as soon as you have to relinquish your life on earth; because a dead soul is without strength, yet not without feeling, and will suffer inconceivable pain in its dead condition. Therefore, create life for it, don't let it enter eternity in a dead state, instead, take care that it will live and be capable of being active in the afterlife, that it will be full of strength and therefore blissfully happy. The life of the soul requires a constant supply of nourishment, of spiritual food, so that it will become strong and able to work. As the Giver of spiritual sustenance I constantly present it to you and wait for your willingness to receive it, I constantly invite you to take communion with Me in order to offer you My Word, My flesh and My blood, in order to nourish you with food that will assure eternal life for your soul .... And you should follow this call, you should come with a hungry heart and let yourselves be fed and refreshed by Me, you shall be My guests who will receive from Me everything your soul needs to live .... You should not slight My Supper, don't bypass it and leave the food, which is offered by My love, untouched .... you should always look for contact with Me and let Me shower you with gifts, that is, you should desire My gift and gratefully receive it .... For I cannot give you anything if you don't want anything, because My nourishment, the bread from heaven, is delectable indeed and cannot be conveyed to those who don't desire it. Thus your heart must impel you to Me, you must seek contact with Me and appeal to Me for nourishment for your soul, you must come to Me completely consciously and want to receive communion, My Word, which I offer to you with love and is spiritual food and spiritual refreshment which I have blessed with My strength and is therefore life-giving for everyone who enjoys it with a longing for Me and My love .... His desire will be satisfied and yet it will impel him to Me time and again, for anyone who has once tasted My bread from heaven, anyone who has refreshed himself once at the source of My love, will repeatedly return to it, he can no longer live without food for his soul, he will be a constant guest at My table and I will always and forever be able to offer Communion to him .... And his soul will live, it will have overcome death and can never again descend into the state of death, for My nourishment assures its eternal life, as I have promised with the Words 'Whoso eateth My flesh, and drinketh My blood, hath eternal life ....'

The church of Christ .... Faith - Rock ....

B.D. 3729 from March 29th 1946, taken from Book No. 47

The true church of Christ does not include followers of this or that school of thought, of this or that organization, but only the flock of those who have a living faith. Faith alone is God’s condition for the human being to be able to deem himself to belong to the church of Christ. Thus, His church can exist everywhere, it extends to wherever there are people who believe in Jesus Christ and because of Him live a life which can be described as a succession of Christ, which corresponds to the will of God, Who walked on earth in Jesus Christ to make His will known to people through His Word and Who lived His life on earth as a living example of His Word. Anyone who is profoundly faithful also keeps God’s commandments, he lives with love and shapes himself into a child of God, he is a follower of the church of Christ and therefore an applicant to His kingdom. Profound faith and therefore a life of love results in the working of God’s spirit within the human being, and thus the church of Christ constantly and forever will be permeated by His spirit, it will only be able to speak truthfully and right, it will be able to teach wisdom and live in the full strength of faith, i.e. it will also be able to convince other people, providing they are willing, of its value, of its task to proclaim God’s kingdom to the world in accordance to His instructions. But only those of good will are able to understand this, its value remains concealed to others because they don’t know the attributes of the Church of Christ .... nor can they distinguish right from wrong.

However, secular organisations who claim to be the church of Christ on earth, as mentioned by Jesus Christ, generally just represent the outward appearance and not its essence .... They indeed teach the Word of Christ, nevertheless only living faith gives God’s Word the right meaning and the right value to the human soul. And this living faith can exist in every clerical organisation but it can also be absent from it, however, only the human being who calls this living faith his own is a follower of His church. And living faith initially establishes the right relationship with God through deeds of love .... This awakens the spirit within the human being who will teach him, and then the human being can clearly and fully understand the essence of the church of Christ .... he can in fact distinguish between God’s will and human will under the guise of Christian faith .... Then he will belong to the church of Christ which requires no other name, which has no external attribute but the effectiveness of the strength of spirit, which can also be outwardly recognised by a way of life in love and wisdom. But when the human being is a follower of that church he is also faithful until the end because anyone who has living faith also has the light which shines eternally .... he lives in truth and will now also be able to help others to understand because he is moved by the spirit within himself to do so. His faith is unwavering and therefore like a rock which defies all storms .... and the gates of hell will not be able to do anything against such faith and will never shake the church of Christ .... as Christ has promised .... His church is invincible and will remain so eternally ....

Gift of teaching .... Teaching ministry ....

B.D. 3730 from March 30th 1946, taken from Book No. 47

You will be granted the gift of teaching once your mission starts .... You will feel imbued by My spirit and consequently also be able to speak with conviction, because I will express Myself through you. I will place the Words in your mouth and yet your intellect will grasp what you say, what you, impelled by My spirit, are conveying to your fellow human beings, because you receive the meaning of My Word from above, from the kingdom of light where the truth originates from. And therefore you will only spread pure truth if you teach in My name. Thoughts will flow to you which your heart and mind will grasp and it will fill you with inner joy that you are allowed to spread exceedingly valuable spiritual knowledge. And thus, impelled by the love of your heart, you will distribute that which makes you happy yourself. For the teacher has an abundance of knowledge and is therefore called by Me for his teaching ministry. Yet he must confront the wrong teachers and prophets in all seriousness and seek to invalidate their doctrine insofar as they do not correspond to the truth. He should not fear that he is not up to the challenge; for once again it is not he himself but My spirit which speaks through him. And My spirit is superior to all human reasoning, it can solve the most difficult problems, expose and refute the greatest error and no opponent on earth can surpass its wisdom. But the opportunity of its working must be given by your willingness to adopt the teaching ministry even with those people, that is, you must not shirk or allow yourselves to be intimidated if you are confronted by the wisdom of human intellect in order to disarm you or to undermine your teachings. Then you need only enter into heartfelt unity with Me and you will be able to defeat even the greatest speakers, because I Myself will speak through you and, truly, no-one is a match for Me .... Let your spirit carry you along, it will guide you correctly, it will let you act and speak in the right way, it will put your thoughts in order, for anyone who receives a teaching ministry from Me will also receive My help to administer it correctly. For it is My will that the truth shall be spread, that untruth and error shall be denounced and that people's thoughts shall take the right direction, because only through truth can people become blissfully happy. This is why you, My disciples on earth, shall place yourselves at My disposal as bearers of truth wherever and whenever I need you, and My spirit in you will be informed of this, so that you will be absolved from all responsibility of acting wrongly, for I Myself will guide and direct anyone who has offered himself to Me, so that he can fulfil My will ....

Teaching activity in times of adversity – Last days ....

B.D. 3731 from March 31th 1946, taken from Book No. 47

A concerted effort must be made by all those whom I have appointed to preach My Word in times of greatest earthly adversity. People will be needed in all places to proclaim Me and educate their fellow human beings, because great adversity will be everywhere, people far and wide will be disheartened and no longer able to understand anything if they lack all knowledge about My reign and activity, about the purpose and reason of what is imposed upon them, for as long as their goal is unknown to them they will not know the means of attaining this goal either. For this reason I will dispatch My servants to places where their efficiency is needed, where I know there are receptive hearts which are willing to listen to My Word. Each one will be able to be effective within his circle, the size of which will vary depending on the teaching ability of My servant on earth, who will then fully consciously take up his office of working for Me and My kingdom. Consequently, no-one should be hasty but, instead, wait patiently until he receives his call, until I Myself instruct him perceptively through his heart .... because everything will first have to take its course according to My will .... My Own certainly need strength of faith in view of the adversity which will be apparent everywhere, which will seem unbearable for many people and which I will nevertheless allow to happen in order to gain their hearts. My Own are aware of the purpose of the adversity and shall convey this knowledge to their fellow human beings, and thus I also allow the adversity to give My Own the opportunity to influence their fellow human beings through the strength of their faith, which makes everything easier to endure and to overcome. I will support My Own as soon as they call upon Me and therefore their adversity will always be bearable, for time and again there will be a way out where no human help seems possible. But they shall be of service to Me during this time, they shall speak on My behalf and mention My love, wisdom and omnipotence, they shall profess Me before the world and advise their fellow human beings to adopt the right attitude towards Me, which alone will ensure them protection and help .... They shall teach and proclaim My Word wherever possible but especially during the time of great adversity, which will precede My intervention on earth and will continue afterwards. Wherever you see great adversity you will know that your action is needed and your concerted activity will not remain unsuccessful if you are strong in faith yourselves and always and forever carry Me in your hearts. Then the hardship will not frighten you, even though your eyes and ears will witness it daily .... For you will know why I allow it to happen, you will recognise its necessity and the blessing every person can derive from it. And therefore every one of you are needed for spreading My teaching, and every one of you will be able to work according to his ability but always assured of My blessing, because I need robust labourers for My vineyard at the time which will pave the way to the final end.

Amen

Exercise to hear the voice of the spirit ....

B.D. 3732 from April 1st 1946, taken from Book No. 47

You can distinctly hear the voice of the spirit in you providing you want to hear it and mentally make it known to God yourselves, since this mental expression of will enables you to receive thought transmissions from the spiritual kingdom. You cannot receive information unless you yourselves desire to receive it, but God responds to every heartfelt desire and gives to you in accordance with your degree of maturity and will. However, you have to observe the thoughts which approach you in a variety of ways when you ponder spiritual problems. They will affect you differently, appear to be acceptable or unacceptable to you and, providing you had prayed for enlightenment of spirit first, you can safely accept or ignore what you feel is right. Then you can follow your feelings and you will accept what is right but dismiss what is wrong. Thoughts from the spiritual world affect you in proportion to the strength of your desire for truth, so that a person who genuinely desires truth remains unaffected by wrong thought currents. In that case the influence of misguided forces is no longer sufficient to captivate a person, since the beings of light have free reign and the human being readily opens himself to their thought transmissions.

You have to practise this process of spiritual activity, i.e. you have to pay more attention to your inner life, withdraw into solitude more often, and if you would like clarification about a problem, spend a longer period of time in thought. However, this exercise always needs to be preceded by heartfelt prayer in order to establish a connection with God and thus also with the spiritual forces, who work in accordance with his will and whose actions consist of transmitting utmost truthful spiritual knowledge. This sincere connection protects you from contact with misguided forces who, understandably, endeavour to cloud and confuse your thoughts, because the battle of darkness against light and vice versa forms the basis of everything and will still continue for eternity. But anyone who acknowledges God as the most loving, wise and omnipotent being, who consciously enters into contact with this supremely perfect Being, who constantly strives to fulfil His will and then, having fulfilled these conditions, desires to know the pure truth, will not be left by God to fall prey to the forces of darkness ....

God Himself will instruct him and the human being need only open his heart, listen inwardly and consider his thoughts, and he will truly be on the right track and receive clarification when he desires it. Because God, the eternal truth, also wants to convey the truth to his living creations, but God, the eternal love, also requires the human beings’ will to shape themselves into love too, and anyone who endeavours to do so also aspires after truth, since God, love and truth are unthinkable without each other. And thus every human being who is willing to love and desires the truth is also able to hear the voice of God, Who expresses himself through the spirit in a person .... mentally or, in a state of advanced maturity, also vocally. And a person always receives the same truth, which is totally synonymous with the Word, which is directly transmitted by God’s great love to people on earth through awakened servants and prophets, who have voluntarily offered their service to Him in order to help erring souls in utmost spiritual hardship. For there is immense spiritual darkness and people urgently need help if they want to become perfect ....

Cup of suffering .... God’s love ....

B.D. 3733 from April 2nd 1946, taken from Book No. 47

The cup of suffering has to be emptied completely if you want your soul to heal, so that it will be able to enter the spiritual kingdom as a recipient of light after your physical death. You don’t know the blessing your soul can achieve through suffering, you don’t know how it will change within a short time by dissolving the darkest shell, which otherwise would have taken much longer to achieve. Your life span is limited, it will not last much longer, but souls are still far from perfect and yet I want to help them achieve a certain degree of maturity, so that they need not expect a new banishment into matter, for I take pity on the latter and would like to save every single soul from this fate. Your will to achieve maturity of soul is very feeble, and thus you would still need a long time to attain this degree of maturity. But this time is no longer at your disposal, and so I use means of purification which are undeniably very painful but which can be exceedingly beneficial if only you humbly and acceptingly concede to My will, if you do not grumble and complain but allow Me Myself to work on you in ways which promise good results.

I know that you are suffering but I also know how you will rejoice when your earthly time of trial is over and you have passed through it, just as you will thank Me for having used every means to save you from an endless time of new captivity in hard matter. What I spare you now you will have to endure in the kingdom of the beyond, if you have the grace to leave earthly life before the last days. But if you live until the end then you run the danger of descending even lower if you are unable to detach yourselves from earthly possessions beforehand, if you have not yet reached the conclusion that only spiritual life is valuable and that earthly life is merely the means to an end .... the means to achieve maturity of soul .... Abandon everything you own in order to attain maturity of soul, then you can confidently await your end, then you will have reached your objective on earth, you will have overcome matter and will be ready for the spiritual kingdom. Part from earthly possessions voluntarily in order to receive spiritual wealth in abundance, because they will make you far happier than any earthly possession could ever do. Finish the cup and know that My love belongs to you or I would not let you suffer so, because the suffering is for you, who acknowledge Me, a fire of purification, since I want your souls to enter My kingdom in a crystal clear state, since I want the light and strength of My love to be able to flow through you without meeting the slightest resistance. And do not lose faith in My love .... A sufferer should know himself loved by Me, because by means of suffering I draw him close to Me where he will truly find peace and happiness one day ....

Amen

Simple form of prayer ....

B.D. 3734 from April 3rd 1946, taken from Book No. 47

The simple form of prayer is pleasing to Me .... Anyone who talks to Me in elaborate words and sentences will not be able to generate the depth of feeling which alone finds its way to My heart. But when a prayer comes from the heart it is like a simple expression of innermost feelings and its simplicity will not fail to have an effect because I will hear that call every time and comply with it. I ask for a child’s trusting prayer to its Father, which holds nothing back and is unpretentious and thus pleases the Father; whereas all stilted speech originates more from intellectual thought than from the heart and restricts the relationship of the child towards its Father. A devout prayer is a silent dialogue with Me in all humbleness and love, in trust of My constant assistance, of an affectionate answer .... Such a prayer finds My favour .... But I take no notice of formal prayers because they do not arise from your hearts and therefore cannot be experienced like a personal prayer. And it is not the length of a prayer which increases its effectiveness but only its sincerity ....

You should indeed pray incessantly, however this Word should not be taken to mean that you should linger in the practise of long formal prayers, which are not of the slightest value before Me, rather you should think of Me constantly and communicate with Me. This will give Me pleasure and you can derive endless grace from it, because your permanent unity of thought with Me makes you receptive to My grace: when you start your day’s work with Me, when you consult Me in everything you do and thus allow Me to stay near to you due to your own request which you prove in your thoughts every time you unite with Me in prayer. Your heart has to be involved if I Myself want to work on and within you. But you will not be able to achieve an effect with an empty prayer, even if you spend much time on it, because then I cannot hear the voice of My child, which alone receives from the Father what it requires and requests. And when you feel like My children your prayer will be childlike and simple too, you will not need formal prayers because they will not give you the comfort and strength, they will appear as empty talk to you. Because the right relationship with Me also urges you to use the right words, like a child speaks to its Father, and then your prayer is indeed pleasing to Me ....

Amen

Spiritual meaning of the Word ....

B.D. 3735 from April 4th 1946, taken from Book No. 47

Every Word I said when I lived on earth incorporates a profoundly spiritual meaning, even where it concerns earthly issues. You should strive to understand this spiritual meaning and thus receive My Word with the desire to understand it spiritually. For what I said and did on earth happened for the sake of the souls who were supposed to achieve perfection while still on earth. Hence your thinking should be spiritually orientated in order for the soul to derive benefit from My Word. Only then will you recognise the immense value of what I conveyed to you on earth, and only then will you also be able to assess the immense gift of grace which is now conveyed to you through the transmission of My Word, which you receive from Me directly. Each one of My Words cautions you to act kindly. This certainly includes earthly activity too, but if the earthly deed is not inspired by the spirit of love it has lost its value for the soul. Whatever you do on earth can only be considered and valued as an activity of love when the spirit of love is involved, otherwise an action will only be effective in earthly life .... And thus it is the spirit which first gives a person’s deed its value for eternity.

And if you look at each one of My Words from this point of view you will realise how diligently a person has to improve himself in order to provide his soul with the benefit of My Word. He has to understand each one of My Words spiritually, only then will he comply with it and fulfil My will. Hence it follows that actions which demand external gestures, externally recognisable deeds, with the exception of compassionate help for a fellow human being, could never be My will because the correct compliance with My Word is psychological work which need not be visible to any other person, which is only recognisable by its effects but not by external actions. Discover the spiritual meaning in each of My Words and you will have to admit that I do not expect any particular deeds on your part .... when I remind you to be humble, peaceful, compassionate and just .... All this merely requires psychological work, for an externally visible action does not guarantee the spirit of what I ask. Only the effect is recognisable in the person himself, just as the loving deed for one’s neighbour is indeed also perceptible to the human being and yet need not incorporate the spirit of love, if the person’s mind is not spiritually orientated.

The result of your conduct in life is apparent in the orderliness which necessarily has to result in an inclusion of My will. Consequently, you humans can follow My Word without being spiritually active by leading a way of life as a product of your upbringing which outwardly does not contradict My will, and yet you do not greatly benefit your soul because you do not understand My Word spiritually, you do not ascertain the spiritual meaning of My teaching of love .... And thus you will not be able to completely remain within My order, since I first have to make you aware of the fact that you do not take enough notice of your soul. For this reason heart and intellect have to become active if you want to mature spiritually, you have to accept My Word with your heart and follow it by being motivated by your heart, otherwise it will remain ineffective in you in spite of your apparent fulfilment of My commandments. Try to understand the spirit of My Word and you will derive the most abundant blessing from it, because what I give to you is intended for eternity and not for your temporal life. Hence you should make an effort to gain eternal life, and therefore you also need to be spiritually very active since it is the spirit which generates life ....

Amen

Disclosure of attitude ....

B.D. 3736 from April 5th 1946, taken from Book No. 47

People will reveal their innermost attitude when you bring the Gospel to them in times of severe earthly hardship, when you offer them My Word for comfort and help. Many a person will reach for it like a drowning man who grasps the last rescue anchor and draws the strength he needs from My Word in order to overcome earthly hardship. While others will behave indifferently or negatively, ridicule the bearers of light or even threaten them. Because the immense hardship will remove any disguise, and people who previously still pretended to believe will show their true character and then part with all faith, they will condemn earthly life and curse Me as Creator and Ruler of heaven and earth, if they inwardly still believe in a Power which is strong and yet allows this hardship to happen. And they are the ones who belong to My adversary, who knowingly declare war on everyone who acknowledges Me, because their curse against Me, which they need not voice yet frequently utter in their dark thoughts, will fall back on them and completely drive them into My adversary’s hands, who will openly use them for actions against Me. And they, too, need to be forced by harsh conditions to express themselves; they, too, have to openly declare their attitude and become aware of what they believe in. This disclosure of attitude will happen when you preach My Word to them which testifies of My love, which teaches and intends to foster love. The test I expect of people is difficult and yet it cannot be bypassed in view of the end which you are approaching faster than you think.

And anyone who does not prove himself in the days of hardship, who does not find the path to Me, is without faith, even if he says otherwise. The strength of My Word will touch many true believers and ease their distress, but anyone who opposes you when you bring them My Word reveals his inner being, and this is neither receptive nor willing to receive, and thus he will not feel the strength of My Word either. Hence you will be subjected to dreadful persecutions, you will be threatened and then have to stand firm against your enemies .... But I tell you even this in advance so that you will not doubt My Word, so that you will remain strong even then, because you will know that your work for My kingdom will have completely different results, which always correspond to the inner thoughts of the person to whom you proclaim My Gospel. And if Satan has already taken possession of a human soul he will also show his true nature, he will ridicule and insult Me and you, as My messengers, too .... But then do not fear, as I will be with you whenever you work for Me and My kingdom, and I will protect you even against the worst and most hostile attacks .... But then move on and do not stay with those whom you clearly recognise as My opponents .... Continue to carry the light, My divine teaching of love, to those who need strength and support and who will be grateful to you for offering them My Word. And do not let your enemies deter you because My Word also aims to expose people’s inner attitude, so that they will openly express their opinion about My gift and thus also about Me, Who thereby wants to urge them to make a decision before the final end arrives ....

Amen

Most difficult conditions of life after the disaster ....

B.D. 3737 from April 6th 1946, taken from Book No. 47

In the foreseeable future you will live in different circumstances and have to change your way of life completely if you want to meet the requirements of the new, very difficult conditions and be able to endure them. This change is unavoidable because the last days are entering into their final phase, which is tantamount to a most difficult struggle for existence in order to achieve fastest spiritual advancement. Because the end is near and what this huge earthly hardship cannot achieve now cannot be achieved afterwards on this earth either. But anyone whose life is spared following My last forceful intervention can, with good will, also adjust spiritually, he can associate all events with the eternal Creator’s will and derive the greatest benefit for his soul from his attitude. Only entirely unbelieving people shall reject this correlation and try to master their earthly life with their own strength yet using their willpower wrongly, not in accordance with divine will. And they will succeed because they are supported by the God-opposing power.

However, the believers can also overcome the most difficult conditions with God’s strength, which they themselves can, in fact, feel but which does not express itself in an externally noticeable manner, in that the human being is surrounded by earthly possessions. Instead of this he will find inner strength to endure even the most difficult circumstances in life. Earthly hardship will be immense and not be easily rectified by normal means because the vast destruction, by divine will, will naturally result in massive chaos and make excessive demands on everyone’s strength. And then every individual will have to draw on God’s strength if he wants to survive the worst time. But this is at his disposal in abundance. And therefore God always instructs His servants to point to the forthcoming events, to inform people of the approaching disaster so that they can contact the strength-giving power in advance, Which excludes no one who desires strength. Human beings are not yet able to imagine such an intervention by God and thus dismiss what they find difficult to believe in. And yet they should mentally consider it so that they won’t face the event entirely unprepared when the day arrives. Because it will irrevocably come and surprise everyone including the believers, and it will result in enormous changes .... And blessed is he who changes his thought, who corrects his attitude towards God, who finds his way to Him in times of greatest need .... Because that day shall be a blessing for him ....

Amen

God's intervention on behalf of the unbelievers ....

B.D. 3738 from April 7th 1946, taken from Book No. 47

Anyone who does not want to accept the gospel which I send to people through you should not try to force it upon him, for if his free will is not active, if he does not have the will from within to live in the pure truth, My word will also fail to have an effect, and it will not sound any different than any other spoken word and is therefore also without strength. Where the will for truth is lacking little success can be recorded, yet great earthly adversity can cause this will to become active, just as it can, on the other hand, cause the human being to completely deny Me. And there will always be a battle between people who strive towards the truth and those who reject the truth, and the latter will outnumber the former. For My adversary is constantly intent on extinguishing all light, and he will work particularly fiercely where there is a source of light, and his activity will clearly become apparent. People themselves could certainly make his activity impossible through their resistance, but they would have to get the strength for it from My word if they wanted to resist, yet they cannot muster this will. What is offered to people from Me is so bright and clear and recognizable as truth to anyone who seriously examines it. However, a lack of will to examine and compliancy with My adversary's whisperings also makes people's thinking weak and incapable of judgement. And My spirit's working is not recognized because it does not want to be recognized. The will to reject My word is stronger than the will to examine it. And then every word is in vain for you, then only the last possibility remains to break this strong counter will .... by Myself appearing in the manner previously announced to you .... If this last resort fails to have an effect then people can never be guided into truth and then the path to beatitude is also closed to them, for their will is free and I do not force it. Yet I irrevocably apply the last resort, for My word is truth and I also want to prove the truth of My word to the unbelievers. Yet this proof will be very painful and end the lives of countless people on earth, whose souls will then have to continue the spiritual battle in the beyond with more or less difficulty. And if the individual's will is not entirely hard and turned away from Me, this last intervention by Me can still bring about a change of will. And therefore I also carry it out because every individual soul is dear to Me and I want to save it from ruin, because I still want to give every individual soul the opportunity to detach itself from the opposing power and to recognize Me and My working in My intervention. For this realization is the start of the transformation which the soul can then continue on earth or in the beyond with faster success because its resistance is broken and it can accept My supply of strength if it desires such. Many people's hard will needs a hard school, and for their sake I will express Myself as soon as the hour has come which I have determined since eternity ....

Amen

Expediency of creations .... God’s will ....

B.D. 3739 from April 8th 1946, taken from Book No. 47

Divine will is the foundation of all creation, and as it came forth from His hand it is good and serves its purpose. Hence His creations will remain unchanged until they have fulfilled their purpose and this for all eternity, as long as they serve the perfection of the spiritual substances. And one of His works of creation is the human being, whose external form came forth from the Creator's hand just as perfectly, so that his purpose of bringing the spiritual essence within himself to perfection can be fulfilled in every respect, but only on condition that the human being's free will subordinates itself to God's will. For God gave this creation freedom of existence so that it can determine its own fate, and therefore it is also able to act inexpediently, in opposition to God's will. A person's soul is intended to achieve the final goal on earth, and therefore it has to be able to manage its life independently from God's will, independently from fundamental law, so that it can emerge as a completely free spiritual being if it pursues its final goal.

And thus the human being's external shape will in fact always be the same because it is God's creation. However, the human being himself will, due to the awakening of the soul .... due to the spiritual substances' various degrees of development, demonstrate an entirely diverse character, and the opportunity of change is available to him throughout his earthly life so that, at the end of his physical life, he no longer needs to be the same as he was at the beginning of his earthly course of life. His outer appearance also changes but always in accordance with divine law. But the spiritual being within the person, which gives life to the person in the first place, can shape itself in many different ways and will neither be forced nor prevented by divine will. In addition, the human being also has the opportunity to shape his own creations in accordance with his will .... If his will subordinates itself to divine will these creations will be expedient again and contribute to his higher development, since everything in accordance with divine will leads towards spiritual perfection.

Shaping his own character will progress faster when the human being occupies himself productively and creatively on earth, thus subordinating himself to the great divine law of releasing the bound spiritual substances, even if he is unaware of his achievement .... Throughout the duration of earthly life God also gives the human being the ability to use his inflowing energy of life in order to develop new creations. The divine law rests in every human heart but it can also be deliberately ignored. Nevertheless, subordinating himself to this law understandably has to be beneficial for the human being who is using his strength in accordance with God's will. But he is also responsible for the direction of his will, because he has been given freedom of will and intelligence, and because divine will was placed into his heart, which he thus should recognise and obey if he wants to be able to continue to exist before God when accountability is demanded of him one day. He will be answerable for the expedient use of his divinely created external form as well as for the creations which he voluntarily brought into being, because everything has to be in accordance with God's will and thus serve the higher development of the spiritual essence or its inexpediency will be in opposition to God's will ....

Do this in remembrance of Me ....' Last Supper ....

B.D. 3740 from April 10th 1946, taken from Book No. 47

Strength, wisdom and life originate from Me .... And thus I have to be recognised as the source of strength and light, and the connection with Me has to be sought in order to attain life through the receipt of strength and light. Hence I must be able to find Myself again in you, that is, light and strength or the knowledge of eternal truth and its subsequent abundant strength have to be in you .... My spirit must take effect in you .... and thus I Myself must be able to work in you, only then will you be alive, but you will never ever loose this life again. Then you will be united with Me, and this union is the true Communion .... The union with Me is indispensable or you could neither receive strength nor light, since the unification with the eternal primary source has to take place first if the flow of My love is to be transmitted across into the human being's heart.

But in order to establish this unification the will to receive something from Me is required first. The will, in turn, necessitates mental activity, thus I have to be recognised by the person's heart and intellect as the source and therefore the provider of what he desires, and he has to mentally endeavour to reach Me .... Only this activates the will and fulfils the conditions which lead to unification with Me. The activated will is equal to an act of love .... But this is essential, and thus My commandment of love can never be bypassed by those who truly want to communicate with Me, who want to unite with Me ....

Distribute gifts, offer food and drink to your neighbour, help him in his spiritual and earthly hardship, give to him as I have given to you, refresh your fellow human being's body and soul, have mercy on the weak and sick, comfort the sad, lift up the discouraged, always and ever alleviate hardship, and always do so with regard to Me Who exemplified the earthly path to you .... Share everything you own with the poor .... Then you will fulfil My commandment of love and thereby the first condition of unification with Me, for only when you have shaped your heart to love will I be able to unite with you, otherwise a union with Me will be impossible, regardless of how many external formalities you observe which have no effect on the state of your heart (your soul).

I want to give you life, give you strength and light in abundance, yet this will never be possible as long as you don't activate your will, as long as you don't practise love .... But I instructed you Myself on how you should practise this love and constantly admonished you to follow Me .... Remember Me and My teaching, then you will conduct yourselves accordingly, and you will truly become vessels for My spirit, thus you will enable the part of Myself to take effect in you .... You will draw Me to yourselves through your actions of love, and thus you will unite yourselves with Me, the primary source of strength and eternal light, and therefore you can also receive unlimited light and strength .... knowledge and might ....

The union with Me has to be accomplished first through actions of love, only then can I be present in you Myself .... even in spirit, and only then can I nourish and refresh you with spiritual sustenance, with flesh and blood, with My body in the spiritual sense .... For I Myself Am the Word, thus I offer you the Last Supper when I convey My Word to you, which is spiritual nourishment for your soul. You can indeed also accept this nourishment without prior activity of love, but then it is not a Communion, not a union with Me, for then it is not yet the Last Supper, but it can lead you to it if you don't just accept the Word with your ears but also with your hearts and live accordingly .... Only the activity of your will, the action of love, establishes the spiritual union with Me. However, these activities of love consist of giving, of constantly passing on and sharing what you own, of what makes you happy yourselves in order to also please your fellow human being who is in need of it. And if you don't practise this, if you don't try to follow Me in this, you cannot be nourished at My table either, you will not be able to take the Last Supper with Me, because you exclude yourselves as My guests, because then I will remain inaccessible to you until you have changed yourselves to love, which is and eternally will be My fundamental substance.

If you accept the Last Supper in the form chosen by you humans it will always just remain an external act which only has a profound spiritual meaning when your heart is filled by deep love which, however, should not just move you emotionally but has to find its expression in works of unselfish neighbourly love. For whoever remains in love remains in Me and I in him .... This Word of Mine is also the foundation of the Last Supper set up by Me .... You should always bear My way of life on earth in mind and follow My every example .... And as you give you shall receive, spiritually and earthly; you will, providing you are in close unity with Me through love, be nourished and strengthened at all times.

Constantly carrying out works of love in remembrance of Me .... and thereby establishing the certain union with Me, which guarantees you the receipt of My Word, of My flesh and blood .... that is the profound spiritual meaning of the words 'Do this in remembrance of Me ....' which all of you will certainly understand if you have the sincere determination to ascertain the spiritual meaning of My Words ....

Fulfilment of the predictions .... Proof for unbelievers ....

B.D. 3741 from April 11th 1946, taken from Book No. 47

Not one of My predictions will remain unfulfilled, for the present adversity, which is of a greater spiritual nature than a physical one, calls for it. And if you observe humanity's conduct, if you inspect people's thoughts and intentions more closely you will also realise the urgency of a change in all ways of life, for this alone makes it possible for people to change .... And this is why you can count on a speedy change, for the time has expired, the present adversity has remained unsuccessful, and thus only a greater tribulation can offer a last opportunity, and this will irrevocably happen due to My will. For I will reveal Myself and can be recognised by anyone of good will. What human will, human hatred and heartlessness have so far accomplished will still be surpassed by My will, it will also cause annihilation and destruction of the earthly possessions you still believe yourselves to own. People will have to reach such a low point that they will have to call upon Me for help if they are still to be saved before the end. They must realise that any earthly hope will be in vain, and only then will a few take an interest in spiritual matters, and for the sake of these few I will use the last means before the arrival of the end. Yet the period of time following My final rescue mission will be difficult for everyone, believers and unbelievers alike, except that the believers will constantly receive strength from Me in order to persevere. Many people's faith will start to waver if they don't have a living faith. And that is My intention, so that it will even awaken a dead faith or it will be of no value in eternity. I want to help the unbelievers and those of weak faith with My voice, which will resound loudly and perceptibly. Yet it will cause great apostasy from Me, the final storm will shake down many unsuitable fruit .... But this shall not deter Me from sending the storm across the earth. Anyone who stands firm will prove his worth for eternity.

Consequently, don't doubt My Word, wait for the day which will arrive with certainty and make use of every day until then, for you can still gain much if you diligently work .... at improving your soul. Every day of misery can yield spiritual success for you if only you remember Me, if you understand that nothing can happen without My will or My permission. And calmly cast all your worries upon Me and I will help you carry what I impose on you for the sake of your souls. Time will fly by in a flash, but regardless of how difficult it is for you, it is a blessing, because you can achieve far greater spiritual progress than during a longer and calmer time, which lets you become half-hearted and lethargic and will not lead you closer to the final objective. Therefore, wait patiently for the fulfilment of My predictions, don't expect an end to the adversity through My intervention but only a change of it, for your souls are not yet mature enough to live in total peace on this earth, you must fight and gain a strong faith, only then will I be able to remove your misery, only then will you be able to experience a time of peace on earth or in the kingdom of the beyond. Yet time and again bear in mind that My Word is truth, that I will not divert by one iota from what I proclaimed a long time ago and that you will witness it yourselves, that you will experience what I proclaim so that you can stand up for My Word before the world. For My last intervention shall be proof for those who so far did not believe My Word, whom I still want to win over for Myself and to whom I will clearly reveal Myself through the natural event .... so that they will believe in My might and in My working through you .... And thus I proclaim to you again that the day will come suddenly and unexpectedly, it will take the place of great earthly adversity yet bring new adversity of a different kind .... However, if you believe in the fact that I Am only motivated by love for you to let you go through suffering then it will also be bearable for you, for sooner or later the end will come along with salvation for all of those who believe in Me and hand themselves over to Me, for all of those who profess Me before the world ....

Judgment of blind fools .... False knowledge without love ....

B.D. 3742 from April 13th 1946, taken from Book No. 47

The only way to wisdom, the only true knowledge from God, is love .... But how can you humans be knowledgeable if you don't have love within you? How can you presume to judge the effects of events in world affairs as well as in the life of an individual person if you don't know their meaning and purpose, if you lack all knowledge and are completely blind in spirit as a result of your unkind way of life? Live in love and the scales will fall from your eyes as to why the creator and sustainer of heaven and earth also allows that to happen which is inflicted on you by fellow human beings who are equally devoid of love. As long as you don't recognize the purpose of earthly life and your actual destiny you won't recognize Me Myself in every earthly event, you won't recognize My will which underlies everything that happens, even though I don't approve of what unkindness brings about but it is only an allowance on My part to pull you back from the wrong path in order to guide you onto the path of love, through which you will then also come to realization. You all want to be wise and even go so far as to reject Me Myself because your wisdom does not allow you to recognize Me .... O blind fools, how far you are from the truth, from the right knowledge. And how easily you could reach it if you were more willing to give in to the inner impulse of your heart which urges you to work with love when you see great hardship around you. Yet you pay too little attention to the voice of the heart, you only think of yourselves and don't want to give yourselves away in order to alleviate hardship, and you kill the spark of love within you instead of kindling it into a bright flame. And therefore it remains dark in you, and in the lightlessness of your soul you certainly know nothing of My rule and activity for your salvation. And your thinking will remain wrong as long as you live without love, no matter how sharp your intellect may be .... The intellect will not lead you to the aim as love does .... the intellect will not let you become wise, for true wisdom is born in love. And as long as you neglect the activity of love you will not recognize the meaning and purpose of earthly life, you will not recognize the meaning and purpose of the great earthly adversity, you will not recognize Me, for only through love will you be guided into right thinking, only love guarantees you true knowledge, because the truth comes forth from Me to the one who endeavours to live in love in accordance with My will. But the great earthly adversity will be understandable to him, he will not doubt Me and My might, he will believe in Me, and the greater the earthly adversity the firmer he will believe in Me .... And he will also be helped, for he belongs to My own, and I will not forsake My own forever ....

The great Spirit of eternity fills infinity, the universe, with all its creations .... and His will truly expediently governs creation with wisdom and love. But the last and only purpose is the redemption of the bound spirits .... The purpose of every action in infinite space is never regression but progression, and therefore everything destined or permitted by God’s will is good, i.e. in the final analysis it always serves the advancement of the developing spirit providing human free will does not prevent its spiritual ascent. As long as you bear this in mind you need not do anything but subordinate your will to God’s will. You need only ever allow yourselves to be guided without inner resistance and you will reach the goal, you will soon become free and recognise God’s infinite love and the wisdom of His government, the expediency of every event during the course of your life. But as long as you have no knowledge of His eternal plan of Salvation you will not be able to muster understanding for the individual’s destiny, for people’s wretched existence, for all kind of hardship and afflictions.

Hence let yourselves be taught by those who know .... Accept their explanations; consider them as God’s messengers who have the task to bring truth to you, so that you will become aware of the purpose of your life, of your eternal destiny. Then you will also learn to recognise and understand God’s reign and work, so that you can trustingly abandon yourselves to Him and enable Him to guide you towards the right goal. The Spirit Who rules infinity takes an interest in the smallest and most insignificant being and directs it in accordance with His will; thus how much more will He take care of the living creations whom He wants to prepare into His image, into Godlikeness, into perfect beings who, like Him, shall one day be creatively active in complete freedom and abundance of strength .... You humans are these living creations and thus you are confronted by a great objective, the attainment of which is constantly supported by God, and His help consists of many different means which all depend on your compliance and degree of maturity. Consider yourselves as His living creations and abandon yourselves, your souls and your bodies, to God as your eternal Creator, and allow yourselves to be shaped in accordance with His will by completely submitting your will to His and just leave everything to Him. Consider yourselves His eternal children which the Father raises into perfection. And have complete confidence in the Father, then His work of instruction will succeed without infringement of your free will. Give yourselves completely over to God so that He will not meet any resistance and His work of shaping your souls will not take long, and you will be released from all torment of body and soul .... The Father of eternity will draw His children to Himself and you will be happy being close to Him for all eternity ....

Amen

Christ’s promises .... Conditions - Fulfilment ....

B.D. 3744 from April 16th 1946, taken from Book No. 47

Hold on to Christ’s promises and you will prevail over every struggle for existence .... He assured you of strength and grace, He promised you spiritual and physical care, He guarantees your attainment of the final goal on earth .... eternal life .... You can believe His Word unreservedly, it will come to pass as long as you meet the conditions which He associated with all His promises. His promises depend on the fact that you try to comply with the will of the One Who gave you your life. Earthly life is not just given to you for its own sake, but for the attainment of a purpose .... for attaining utmost possible perfection on earth. Jesus showed you the path on earth and exemplified the life which will lead you to perfection by giving people explanations in areas where they were still in the dark. He showed them the certain way, as well as its effect, in eternity .... setting conditions and making promises to you .... providing you are truly devoted and meet the conditions in order to shape yourselves into perfection, every promise will take effect. You will live in earthly and spiritual happiness and peace, as well as being constructively active. His conditions, however, consist of uninterrupted actions of love ....

The prerequisite of every promise is loving activity, if it is to come true. If you meet this condition, you can live your earthly life in every way without worry, since then the Father in heaven will physically and spiritually take care of you .... He will not let your soul and body suffer hardship, but will always improve matters in proportion to your will of love .... His Word is truth and will remain so in all eternity. Firm belief in this provides you with inner peace and certainty in regards to everything that happens to you, due to God’s will or His permission. And since, in accordance with His Word, nothing can happen to you against His will, you should try to please His will .... love your Father of eternity with all your heart, so that you will gain His love too, and show your love through doing kind deeds to your fellow human beings. God does not expect much from you, but He will not let go of this condition if His promises are to fulfil themselves in you. Each one of His Words teaches you to love, because every one of His promises necessitates love .... a genuine relationship with God and your neighbour, who is your brother, because you are all children of one Father. You can gain countless gifts of grace through unselfish actions of love and .... if you are lacking the strength for it .... gain strength through sincere prayer. ‘Ask and you will receive ....’

First, ask for spiritual values and ignore earthly needs, because God will add these once you strive to fulfil His will and try to shape yourselves into love. Time and again Jesus Christ tries to impress on you in His teachings the importance of striving for the kingdom of God .... He is promising you eternal life and the Father’s care for your earthly life, providing you aspire for God’s kingdom .... and every Word from His mouth is purest truth, and therefore has to provide you with innermost peace and security, if only you have faith. Every earthly worry is unnecessary as long as you endeavour to live up to divine will, as long as your actions of love will gain you God’s love and thus make his will inclined to you. Therefore, do not doubt His Word, do not doubt that His promises will come true, but live in accordance with His sacred Word .... Live in love and in constant connection with the One Who is love Himself .... and then allow yourselves to be guided. Trust in Him, confidently place your destiny into His hands and give yourselves completely to Him, then every hardship will soon be taken from you because you no longer require it if you, in firm faith, purify and shape yourselves through actions of love to enter the kingdom of light after you discard your earthly body. For Jesus did not use His Own Words but God spoke through Him, and His Word is truth and has to fulfil itself, providing the person complies with His Word, providing he strives for God’s kingdom .... for eternal life ....

Amen

The spirit of truth ....

B.D. 3745 from April 17th 1946, taken from Book No. 47

You can never receive lies from the spirit of truth, since the spirit of truth is the spirit which comes from Me .... And this spirit will always work where the human being’s will accepts Me, where the person aspires towards good and thus endeavours to integrate with My eternal order. My spirit becomes active in him but varies in its effectiveness according to his soul’s degree of maturity. But it is certain that he will never be taught wrongly by My spirit as long as it concerns such matters which are favourable to the attainment of his soul’s maturity. My spirit will always draw the human being towards Me if he does not resist Me with his opposing will .... thus My spirit will give him the knowledge which alone will lead to Me .... Such a person’s thinking will be guided into the right direction, he will come closer to the truth. If his conduct in life is right, which testifies of his aspiration for good, he will always mentally acknowledge Me as the Creator and Father of eternity and feel the impulse to practise what he knows to be My will, since he is guided to do so by My spirit, because in the knowledge of his will to ascend I will mentally show him the path to Me.

And thus no person who seeks Me, albeit unconsciously, will be mislead if his will aspires towards good, he can only have a greater or lesser degree of knowledge. His intellectual ability can still be poorly developed, depending on his effort to improve his soul, thus consciously shaping his nature in relation to My will. He can be more slack in observing this work but My spirit will always instruct him correctly .... i.e. he will always feel what is right and what is wrong, he will never consider a wrong to be right, thus be unsure about My will. But My spirit can only give him more profound spiritual knowledge after he has achieved a certain maturity of soul, because the soul has to be able to receive and understand such knowledge in order to convey it to the person’s mind. And this ability is achieved by the soul through consciously working to improve itself, through constant activity of love .... everything it merely felt - and thus believed - in the first place will then be comprehensibly explained to the soul .... it will penetrate the eternal truth because I Myself can now work in the soul through My spirit. And My spirit will increase the soul’s knowledge and delight it, because the truth given to the human being by My spirit is a precious possession, it is everlasting spiritual wealth which assures eternal life for the soul because it leads to Me, Who is eternal truth Himself ....

Amen

Spirit of truth ....

B.D. 3746 from April 19th 1946, taken from Book No. 47

The mediators of truth will always think correctly as soon as they are active for My kingdom. Thus the listener need never fear to be taught wrongly if he imparts divine words to him which he has not received from a foreign source, be it from books or through study. Therefore, as soon as a person stands up for Me and My teaching and, to a certain extent, represents his own thought material, thus knowledge which was born from himself, his thinking will also be right, for the origin of the thought is not an unsolved problem for the knower either. Anyone who speaks for Me, who represents My name and My teaching of love from within himself, is also My worker, he is in My service and is rightly guided by Me in thought, speech and action. Therefore, a bearer and distributor of My word can always be believed as soon as he supports what he says with innermost conviction, as soon as he can refute all objections and counter-arguments logically and in a way which is acceptable to the truth-seeking human being .... (19.4.1946) The listener must feel that the teacher does not represent something he has learned but a thinking that has come alive in him, and he will be able to convince himself of this through speech and counter-speech. Then he can also be convinced that I, as the eternal truth, work through this person spiritually as soon as he stands up for Me, that I will not let him spread untruths because this contradicts My love and wisdom. For this reason, however, the listener must also be given the opportunity to express himself so that the teacher's consistent thinking can be used and recognized. Anyone who is not filled by My spirit will never be able to pass on My word in a living way, even if he has a wealth of knowledge at his disposal which he has acquired in school, through study. But the knowledge remains dead, and if he is forced to represent it through counter-speech he will use learned knowledge again, he will not be able to clearly and comprehensibly refute the objections or dispel doubts so that the listener is convinced of the truth of his speech. My spirit must be able to be active in the human being, and it will also be active in every teacher of My word if he eagerly supports the spreading of truth in order to lead his fellow human beings to Me, Whom he has recognized as the eternal truth. I guide his thinking correctly and the most certain characteristic of My spirit in him is that he only represents My word, that he proclaims My teaching of love to his fellow human beings and tries to make the effect of the working of love understandable to them .... This one alone is My true representative on earth, the bearer of truth and thus My disciple and servant who is active on My behalf. His mission is to stimulate his fellow human being into loving activity, and depending on the fulfilment of My first and greatest commandment of love he will become knowledgeable, he will be permeated by truth as soon as he listens to My word and complies with it. Then My spirit will also become effective in him, he will be fully convinced that he lives in truth as soon as he lives a life of love, for My spirit protects everyone from erroneous thinking who strives towards Me from the bottom of his heart, who seeks to change himself into love in order to become like Me, Who is eternal love Myself ....

Amen

Significance of the work of redemption ....

B.D. 3747 from April 20th 1946, taken from Book No. 47

You will never be able to comprehend the depth of My act of salvation, its comprehensive significance for eternity, on earth, for your intellect cannot grasp it as long as you have not been born again, and this to a high degree. Nevertheless, you will be able to understand that you would be lost for an infinitely long time without My redemption, for eternal times would pass in order to reach the degree which makes you worthy of the vision of God by yourselves, if you would reach it at all. But it would be more likely that you will sink ever deeper due to your weakness of will on earth, which cannot be remedied in the kingdom of the beyond without My help. I therefore came to this earth to redeem you from a state of torment and eternal hopelessness. What humanity in its weakness of will was unable to achieve for its spiritual salvation had to be achieved by the will of a human being if salvation was to come to the whole of humanity .... You will be able to understand that, if humanity was to be helped, it had to be shown the path and that this task had to be solved by a human being, otherwise no-one would make an effort to tackle a task if it did not appear humanly feasible to him. As a human being I had to exemplify life to them, and the human being who strives for redemption has to follow the human being Jesus. This requires an extremely strong will, yet this was weak because at the time of My descent on earth humanity lacked faith in a God of love, wisdom and omnipotence. People's lack of faith was the cause of their weakened will, and therefore there was no salvation for them until they learned to believe and, with faith, also experienced strengthening of the will. And I, as a human being, sought to restore their faith, I instructed them, I worked miracles in order to prove to them the strength of faith .... I gave them the final proof of the truth of My word .... that I overcame death, that I rose as a human being to eternal life .... And thus I, as a human being, also had to be willing to accept the most difficult death, the death on the cross, so that all people could take notice of it in order to also be able to recognize My resurrection from death as the crowning achievement, as the success of the strong will to reach God in faith in Him. In contrast to people I had to muster a strong will, I had to let Myself be killed in order to give them the evidence that death is surmountable .... And I accomplished this work in order to redeem people from their weakness of will, which means eternal death and eternal times of inconceivable torment .... I died the most painful, bitter death for people on the cross because I wanted to lead them to eternal life .... What the whole of humanity was unable to achieve had to be carried out by the love of a person who was strong-willed in contrast to humanity, whose will was completely weakened because it no longer believed .... because it lacked all contact with Me and therefore I was unable to supply it with strength. And through the man Jesus I showed the whole of humanity the path on which it could draw unmeasured strength from Me and thus also become free from the state of death .... I accomplished the work of salvation as a human being not for one person but for all who believe. And earthly life is enough for them to release themselves from the state of death and attain eternal life. What no one is able to do on his own, he is able to do with Me, in faith in the divine redeemer, in Jesus Christ, Who died for people on the cross in order to make them overcomers of death. Anyone who believes in Me has overcome death, for I died for him, and he can remedy his weakness of will with My help, with My grace, which I acquired through My death on the cross as a human being for the whole of humanity .... and he will not taste death for eternity ....

Amen

Continuation of the act of Salvation .... Mission ....

B.D. 3748 from April 21st 1946, taken from Book No. 47

My mission on earth has to be continued by constantly proclaiming My teaching of love to people of good will, so that they can all partake in the blessings of the act of Salvation, so that they, through their actions of love, learn to understand what the redemption consists of, so that they can be taught by My spirit from within about the meaning and purpose of earthly life and their associated spiritual task. At the time of My life on earth humanity lived in deepest darkness of night, and this was their own fault because they ignored love .... I showed them the path to light and, by My crucifixion, acquired for them the same ability, the willpower, to walk this path .... I taught them to fulfil the commandments of love and thereby guided them to wisdom .... to the knowledge about every single person’s goal and destiny and the means to reach this goal. And the door of heaven opened for those who followed Me, they were liberated from the pressure which had burdened their souls for an infinitely long time. They realised what it means to possess eternal life .... they were delivered from bondage, delivered from lack of knowledge, from weakness .... They came close to Me and could receive My strength of love, which signified abundance of light and strength for the human soul ....

But My act of Salvation was accomplished for all times .... Because the earth will always be inhabited by immature spiritual substance which still languishes in My adversary’s bondage, which is still tied to the ground until it removes this restraint of its own free will. However, it needs to be told of its spiritual state, of Satan’s bondage, of its original state and the opportunity to regain it .... the immature spirit has to be shown the path, it has to be informed of the act of Salvation, which was accomplished by the immense love of a human being on behalf of all humanity to deliver it from adverse forces. This knowledge has to be conveyed to people .... That is the mission for which I need servants on earth, so that My act of Salvation will be continued as long as the earth exists .... Time and again I will awaken servants and prophets, i.e. people who are devoted to Me, who are willing to do the kind of work I require of them. They shall spread My teaching of love and caution people to always act with love .... Only then can the process of redemption begin, only then can the human being become knowledgeable and make a conscious effort, otherwise he will lack all knowledge, which is characteristic of his bondage, characteristic of the spiritual night humanity is living in. Light shall be brought into the darkness and bearers of light shall work by spreading My Word on My behalf so that people will be motivated into following Me, so that they believe in Me and My act of Salvation and through this faith utilise the grace of My act of Salvation, so that their will becomes stronger and enables them to travel the path of ascent with My help, with My strength, which is available to everyone who desires it and through actions of love makes himself worthy of the same .... And death will be conquered, the human being will neither feel nor taste death, he will live in eternity as I have promised ....

Amen

Irrevocable end .... Divine order and infringement ....

B.D. 3749 from April 22nd 1946, taken from Book No. 47

The time for the end has definitely arrived, and anyone can see that if he so wants. I do not keep My living creations in ignorance, I inform them of this Myself, but anyone who lacks belief in Me and My Word, anyone who does not reflect on the cause of the total decline and is unable to associate it with the spiritual low level, cannot receive additional information either. Nor can the credibility of My Word be proven to him since he rejects all evidence. The time of the end is making itself noticeably felt, however, anything that is earthly recognisable can also be explained by people in an earthly, i.e. natural, way. And yet there is a spiritual cause for everything which has to be observed first; people have to try to resolve the spiritual cause if the consequences are to be averted. But people do not make this attempt, and thus the time is irrevocably approaching the end, i.e. the earth is experiencing its last days in its present form. I speak to people clearly but they cover their ears, they cannot muster the will nor the strength to accept information which would enable them to discover an orderliness even in the decline, in the immense misery and all events .... they don’t want to know about it and don’t want to be truthfully instructed either. And time and again I send them My servants and messenger to guide them into the right way of thinking ....

But My plan of eternity is predetermined, My wisdom recognises the necessity of changing the existing state, and My love and My will carry out what is unavoidably needed in order to still save the few which want to be saved. Because humanity’s activity has to stay within limits, and once these are exceeded the time of the end will also have arrived. And the fact that people are behaving in opposition to divine order can be easily seen by everyone. Thus, what would be more logical than to restore the order again in accordance with My will? Nevertheless, it cannot happen in a humanly aspired way but has to take place in keeping with My law of eternity .... A humanly devised change on this earth would not result in any spiritual change, it would not result in any spiritual progress, but this is the only purpose for My living creations’ life on earth, and this has to take place; hence the necessary conditions have to be available for it too and consist of entirely new creations for the spiritual substances which still remain opposed to Me.

Thus the old earth will pass away in as much as all creations on it will be destroyed, in order to be inhabited again by completely new creations according to My will, which signifies the start of a new earth period, the start of a new era of redemption in a spiritual sense. It is easy to understand that a change on earth in opposition to My order also has to result in complete disintegration; but anyone who does not acknowledge an eternal Lawmaker will also refuse to acknowledge a violation of My order, since he is not living within My order himself in as far as he values earthly matter more than the spiritual kingdom which, however, should be the purpose and goal of his earthly life. A person who does not stay within My order through actions of love and conscious contact with Me will not have orderly thoughts either, and his knowledge is deceptive knowledge without lasting value. But anyone who opens his eyes and ears will recognise the spiritual decline and also know that the end is near. He will strive to stay within My eternal order and thus not fear the end because it is the beginning of a new life for him, a life of eternal bliss ....

Amen

Strength and grace in the last days ....

B.D. 3750 from April 23rd 1946, taken from Book No. 47

From now on it will depend on My supply of strength and grace as to whether you master your earthly life, whether you are able to endure all difficulties which you have to take upon yourselves for the salvation of your souls. But My strength and grace can only flow to you if you are willing to accept both, and thus you have to unite with Me through prayer and actions of love. This is My constant admonition, My constant instruction, which I send to the immature soul in order to draw it closer to Me, in order to provide it with the opportunity to mature fully, which will eternally remain the same. Only the relationship with Me can accomplish this, and if you humans establish this relationship with Me voluntarily without having been forced by hardship, your earthly life will also be an easy one, you can be spared much distress, the intention of which is to encourage you to develop the right relationship with Me. You will always require strength and grace for your souls to progress even if the body does not need an extraordinary amount of strength, because the soul’s attainment of maturity is the human being’s objective on earth which he can only achieve with My strength and grace.

But if people completely ignore this goal they will have to suffer severe physical distress in order to remember the One, Who has might, strength and love in abundance, in order to appeal to Him for help. Then strength and grace will be able to flow to them, and then the soul will also be out of danger. But extreme hardship is necessary during the last days because people have distanced themselves from the source of strength ever more, there is a wide gap between them and Myself, grace and strength is no longer requested and humanity ignores love .... People no longer shape themselves into recipients of My gifts of grace, and strength and grace cannot forcefully be given to them against their will. First they have to establish contact with Me in order to receive what they lack in an earthly and spiritually sense but nevertheless desperately need. And since I respect their free will but, on the other hand, do not want to leave them in their wretched spiritual state I approach them in the form of severe earthly hardship. I come closer to them to make it easier for them to establish the right kind of relationship with Me and to call upon Me, as the Giver of strength and grace, for help.

And thus, in the last days the hardship will become unbearable for all people who are distant from Me but who are not yet completely controlled by My adversary. Because they can still be saved and immense hardship is intended to achieve this. But do not get annoyed with Me, do not doubt My love and do not lose faith in Me in view of this adversity .... you, who are enlightened, should also enlighten your fellow human beings to the fact that nothing happens on earth without meaning and purpose and that even the greatest suffering can have a healing effect if the human being wants it himself. You could never survive without My supply of strength and grace, you will be physically destroyed too if you do not recognise the hardship as My warning call, for you cannot do anything by yourselves. Hence you need to use the source of strength which is at everyone’s disposal, you need to draw from it, you have to want to be considered by the Giver of strength, and consequently you have to contact Him mentally and ask Him for it, or open yourselves through deeds of love so that My strength and grace can flow to you unimpeded .... Then earthly and spiritual hardship will be over, then you will still be able to reach your given goal in the short time before the end, and then the hardship will not have been in vain. And you will thank Me, your Father of eternity Who, by way of hardship, has saved you from an infinitely long captivity, Who, by way of hardship, has helped you to become free ....

Amen

Extent of divine love ....

B.D. 3751 from April 24th 1946, taken from Book No. 47

Words do not suffice to express the depth of My love for you, My living creations, and neither do you grasp the strength of the spiritual bond which exists between Me and you. As a result I will not abandon you, irrespective of how far you believe you can distance yourselves from Me due to your wrong direction of will. You do not recognise Me but I know what you are, and it is impossible for Me to abandon you since you are the product of My love, you are the creation of My supremely perfect will, hence you are divine in your fundamental substance, you are part of Me Myself. You are living creations which, having been originally called into existence in highest perfection, I must love eternally. And My love for you can never cease nor decrease but only increase in strength the more you try to pull away from Me. Anything that strives to leave Me, will always and forever possess My love, and anything that voluntarily returns to Me again will be permeated by the strength of My love which I will never ever withdraw from him. I will never let any of My living creations fall completely, because My infinite love does not permit it. However, you are independent externalised products of My creative power, and in free will you determine the supply of My strength of love yourselves. But if you find the extent of My love for you inconceivable and try to imagine it, then peace has to enter your heart, for nothing can happen to a person who knows himself seized and sheltered by My love.

Believe in My love .... and you will already be happy people on earth, because it will certainly fill you with strength and blissful calm .... I Am with each one of My living creations even if it does not call upon Me, but a person with a kindled spark of love in his heart, who strives towards Me as the Eternal Love on his own accord, can always be sure of My presence, he will draw Me to himself and I will never let go of him again .... Believe in My love .... Remember that everything you see around you only came into being as a result of My eternal love for My living creations, and that My love will not rest until My living creations’ profound love unites them with Me, because My love refuses to let go of them. The extent of My love cannot be made comprehensible to you as you do not know this love on earth, but I tell you this so that you yourselves realise that you have been loved by your Father, by your Creator and Provider since eternity. And this knowledge shall give you inner calm and the kind of peace that cannot be disturbed as long as you firmly believe in My love. For then I will keep perceptibly close to you, and nothing can happen to you other than what will be helpful for the salvation of your soul, for the final unification with Me ....

Amen

Struggle for faith not in vain ....

B.D. 3752 from April 25th 1946, taken from Book No. 47

And I say this to comfort you, that you will not struggle in vain if only you want to reach Me .... Because I value your will and shall support you, even if you do not clearly recognise it. I will draw you to Me, but you also have to apply strength yourselves and request it from Me, otherwise you cannot become perfect. And this is why you occasionally have to find yourselves in a state of weakness and try to overcome it. You have to be active yourselves, and I will bless you. And thus your faith will grow stronger the more often you seem to be in a sorry state and keep getting back on your feet again with My help .... You don't understand that faith has to be subject to upheavals when it ought to stand firm, and that these upheavals are My will or My permission because they are intended to lead the person into maturity of faith .... A strong faith no longer allows itself to become disturbed, and then the human being will have achieved his goal on earth .... But as long as he is still uncertain in times of hardship he is not yet strong enough and needs testing, he requires tests of faith, which he will be able to pass with confidence in Me. Anyone who wants to acquire a profoundly unwavering faith will reach his goal since I will look after him especially kindly. The earthly hardship will accomplish that the human being will firmly and sincerely unite with Me and thus become conscious of My presence, and then he will totally trust in Me, thus never ever doubt Me, My love and might. Then he will have strong faith which will give him inner calm, he will no longer fear the world, he will not fear earthly hardship, because he will meet everything with My strength which permeates him. He will know that he is not alone and will completely entrust himself to Me and My guidance ....

I want to draw you to Myself if only you would strive towards Me of your own free will .... What would be more natural but to help you in every way, since I Myself consider it utmost bliss for you to become My Own? .... Thus no person's struggle will be in vain, it will lead him to the goal, and every difficulty, every earthly or spiritual hardship is a means for progress, because they increase the heartfelt relationship with Me and thereby My supply of strength is guaranteed.

But a person permeated by My strength will achieve anything .... and anyone who wants to receive strength and grace and verifies this through heartfelt prayer will never leave empty handed, and the effect becomes clearly evident where profound faith shall be made known before the world .... Then the person who persistently endeavoured to strengthen his faith will not waver .... then My flow of strength will also become visibly evident, so that he can provide a living testimony to his fellow human beings of the strength of faith, which is available to everyone who struggles for a strong faith, whose will applies to Me and whom I therefore draw towards Me because he has been My Own since eternity and shall eternally remain My Own .... The determination to be able to believe firmly and steadfastly is also the guarantee to attain a strong, firm faith, because such will is blessed by Me ....

Amen

Most difficult time of hardship before the end ....

B.D. 3753 from April 27th 1946, taken from Book No. 47

You, who are now living on earth, have to pass the most difficult tests and endure the greatest suffering because the end is near and you do not have enough time for a slow maturing of your souls. The earthly burden will appear almost insufferable to you, and that shall be your proof that the last days have arrived. For severe hardship will always come to an end, but for the rest of your life you will have to languish with the burden of the most difficult living conditions, because the last work of your soul’s development has to be implemented for your salvation. But it is a brief period of time which, in spite of the harshest conditions, will in fact be bearable for My Own, whom I will care for in the most obvious way. Thus do not get disheartened by this prediction but trustingly raise your eyes to Me, Who looks into your hearts, Who recognises your will and Who will help everyone who is worthy of My help, who humbly calls to Me for help and prays to Me in spirit and in truth. However, those of you who are of weak faith or totally unbelieving should accept being instructed about the cause and purpose of the hardship and believe that you are approaching the end. And depending on your faith you will be helped. But in view of the end I cannot take the rod from you or else it would take even more immature souls by surprise, since due to hardship a few will still find their way back to Me.

And where an apparent improvement of living conditions becomes evident the activity of the opposing force manifests itself .... and that, too, shall be your proof, because My help will express itself differently even though I will take care of My Own earthly and spiritually too, so that their worst suffering is alleviated, but I will always provide them with inner strength and a firm faith and thereby enable them to endure a difficult earthly life. Whereas My adversary will provide people with material possessions and incite them to commit unkind actions, so that you will always recognise the origin of the supply of strength when you closely inspect the behaviour of people. Expect no improvement in living conditions since one hardship will give way to another because the end is near. Therefore prepare yourselves for the end, do not work in an earthly manner but a spiritual one .... serve each other where needed and thereby make the hard time endurable, because its purpose is to motivate you into loving actions which will bring you ever closer to Me. Don’t think of yourselves but think of your fellow human being’s distress .... Be helpful and willing to give .... There is not much time and thus it is especially hard, but it can also be exceedingly blessed if you heed My admonitions, if you listen to My Word and try to live by it. The end will come and with it the Last Judgment .... the decision which signifies salvation for My Own but also new banishment for My adversary. And therefore make sure that you belong to My Own, let the hard times be a lesson to you which will guide you to Me, listen to My messengers who instruct you and inform you of My will, who will also always be able to explain the cause and purpose of suffering to you, and it will not be without success for your souls .... And one day you will thank Me that I granted you this last time of grace and through hardship and misery sought to win you over for Me and My kingdom ....

Amen

Glories of God .... union on earth ....

B.D. 3754 from April 28th 1946, taken from Book No. 47

And once you have reached the final aim on earth, that you can enter the kingdom of the beyond in union with Me, that you have recognized Me as the father of eternity and strive towards Me as My children full of love, that you have shaped yourselves on earth into My image, then bliss without limits awaits you. Then you will behold the glory of God and your souls will dwell in light .... How little I ask of you in order to be able to give you so much .... I only demand your transformation into love, because love has to fill your whole being so that you can bear Me close to you, since I am love in My fundamental substance and consume everything that is not also love. However, if you knew how powerful you could already be on earth if you powerfully develop love within yourselves, you would also be able to understand the glories you will experience once you have entered the kingdom of light .... Yet this realization is again only a result of eager activity of love, otherwise there would be a danger that you would strive to ascend for the sake of reward and this would impair your perfection. Nevertheless, you should believe My word which promises you undreamt-of glories, and if you have strong faith there is no longer any danger that you only practice love in order to become blessed, instead, you love with your heart because you have recognized your father Whom your soul has to love. Seek to unite with Me on earth through loving activity and you will be granted a blissful fate in the spiritual kingdom. Be helpful at all times towards your fellow human beings who are in distress of body and soul and alleviate their hardship to the best of your ability. And you will also feel the happiness of love already on earth, for giving is more blissful than taking .... The giver makes himself happy, and even though he renounces earthly or spiritual goods he nevertheless does not become poorer as a result, but I Myself bless his actions and increase them as soon as he gives voluntarily .... For I love a kind giver .... If you knew the strength that lies in love then you would also know that there would be no need for hardship on earth, for then you would all live within the divine order because love cannot violate it. But as long as humanity lacks love earthly and spiritual adversity is inevitable, for then it is distant from Me, it is without strength and therefore also without the prospect of a blissful life after death .... Without love there is no beatitude, because without love no being can dwell close to Me and is eternally excluded from My glories .... Therefore use the time on earth and work with love .... Accept My teaching, listen to My messengers who preach love to you in My name, think about their words and obey them .... And you will feel in yourselves what strength lies in love .... you will approach Me and strive towards Me .... and your end will be a blessed one ....

Amen

The commandment of love as life’s guiding principle ....

B.D. 3755 from April 29th 1946, taken from Book No. 47

You are unfailingly doing My will if you learn to love .... Let My commandment of love be your guiding principle for everything you do, think and say .... Then you will gain My favour and will be blessed, spiritually as well as worldly, in a manner that benefits your soul. You should not exclude anyone from your love nor refuse to help those who need your help. Then you, too, will discover the secret of eternal love which forever fills all of infinity with its strength, thus it can fill you to excess too so that you become a likeness of Me, as it is your goal on earth. Love has to be practised and for that reason I allow the great hardship on earth because it motivates people’s actions of love, because hardship leaves countless people in need of help and gives other people the opportunity to help with compassion.

Therefore don’t let your hearts become hardened, be aware of the hardship surrounding you and help where and as you can. Follow My example, Who eased spiritual and earthly suffering on earth, Who helped the weak and sick, Who lifted and healed their souls and bodies, Whose loving way of life has been an example to you and Who told you to follow it. Be merciful, peaceful, gentle and patient, humble with all your heart and righteous in thought and action. Practice these virtues since they are the result of love in your hearts .... thus you have to make an effort, you have to become aware of your faults and try to remove them, you have to banish all unkindness from your heart and strive towards the highest perfection. If you lack the strength to do this then you have the prayer at your disposal, the deeply felt connection with Me, which always guarantees you a supply of strength .... because I don’t ignore any human being’s distress, least of all his spiritual distress, I know every person’s will and give his soul strength and help in accordance with this will.

Let My commandment of love be the guiding principle of your thoughts and actions and you shall fulfil My will on earth .... Don’t harden your hearts as this is the greatest danger for you since then you will be entirely without strength from Me. But if you ask for My help you won’t be asking in vain because My love for you is unchanging and takes hold of everyone who longs for it .... but as I do to you also do to other people, then your way of life will correspond to My will ....

Amen

God’s will or permission .... Free will ....

B.D. 3756 from April 30th 1946, taken from Book No. 47

All events are justified in My will since eternity, but always taking into account people’s will during their last stage of development, as not to render it unfree. And thus the consequence of every event is recognised and therefore even permitted by Me if it was caused by the human being’s misguided will. Thus I will always and ever participate because nothing can happen without My will or My permission. The human being’s free will has to stay inviolable if his spiritual higher development is not to be made impossible. And therefore he can use this will in every direction, he can misuse it, but then he also has to accept the consequences himself. Anyone who acknowledges the freedom of the human will can therefore also understand humanity’s serious difficulty, because it is indirectly caused by people who use their will contrary to My eternal order for actions, decrees and attitudes which have a damaging effect on their fellow human beings.

That, as a result, the hardship is also very extensive, that higher development is inhibited and the spiritual state is deteriorating to a minimum, has to be equally comprehensible to a person, considering it is imperative that My eternal order has to be upheld if the human being’s soul is to mature, and that every violation of My order signifies a spiritual decline and, at the same time, earthly hardship the means of correcting a deplorable state of affairs which is damaging to the soul. I cannot, by virtue of My will, guide people’s thoughts into the right direction and invalidate the human being’s free will, because this in turn would be an offence against My eternal order, which is based on the most profound wisdom and greater than great love for My living creations. Thus I cannot become untrue to Myself by changing in accordance to human will what I once recognised as supremely wise and thereby declare My will to be inconsistent. My will is firm and irreversible, and thus I will also let the human being’s will be free, I shall merely use its effect again for each individual person’s soul, as My wisdom deems beneficial. And in this context you also have to appreciate every event, even if its effect causes you suffering you should nevertheless recognise My hand and trustingly take hold of it, because I know everyone’s will since eternity and therefore also direct each person’s fate in accordance with his will.

Nevertheless, you can still live a calm and carefree earthly life as long as you faithfully entrust yourselves to Me, because My will can banish everything, including the effects of evil thought and action of those who intend to harm you .... but without preventing their free will .... I know you since eternity but I also know the people whose will is turned against Me and who abuse their freedom of will .... And My plan is predetermined ever since eternity too .... Hence you, who want to be My Own, need not fear your fellow human beings’ will either, as long as you love Me and ask Me for protection against everything that is hostile towards you .... But understand that and why so much misery surrounds you, why I permit it and let humanity’s will run its course .... All the same, My will is in charge of everything that happens because My eternal wisdom recognised what is beneficial for people’s souls in the last days ....

Amen

Living water .... Source of eternal life ....

B.D. 3757 from May 1st 1946, taken from Book No. 47

Don’t study and speculate but live in love .... For what do you achieve by the former if you have no love? .... You will arrive at mere misguided intellectual conclusions which are useless for your souls, only the body occasionally will benefit if your investigations and speculations relate to material things. But even earthly thinking will be blessed if you practise love at the same time, but earthly thinking without love entraps the soul ever deeper in matter, from which it should liberate itself. Study and speculation is really not enough to understand spiritual matters, without love it leads you to misguided results, because then you avoid the Giver of truth, Who is love in Himself, Who transmits the truth to the person who aspires to become like Him. Thus look for the truth where love is evident to you, where kind speech, thinking and actions give you the guarantee that the Giver of truth Himself is actively spreading it. And from there you should draw and revive yourselves because there you will find the source of eternal life, the spring from whence living water flows, as God has promised. He Himself has made that spring accessible to you, He turned the human being’s body and soul into the carrier of His spirit and guaranteed its working as soon as you live in love ....

Indeed, He also gave intellectual ability to everyone but he made correct intellectual activity, correct thinking, dependent on your way of life since only this, providing it corresponds to His will, activates the effect of His divine spirit in the human being. The earthly and spiritual world are two opposing worlds, just as the human being’s intellect and his spiritual activity oppose each other as long as the earthly world does not subordinate itself to the spiritual world. Only the fusion of both will result in the same thoughts of intellect and heart, i.e. the spirit within the human being will govern the intellect as soon as the spiritual world has deadened the human being’s senses for the material world and permeates his whole being. Then the human being will be living in truth, then he will be permeated by knowledge which is given to Him by the Giver of truth Himself through His spirit. Then he will not need to study and speculate because he will be taught by the Eternal Love Himself since his way of life is an activity of love and this means an overcoming of all matter, thus an absorption into spiritual spheres, a life in God .... Then the human being’s body will be a vessel for the divine spirit from which living water flows eternally, he will be an inexhaustible spring of divine wisdom, a fountain of life which can be used by everyone to revive themselves if they so desire. And anyone who draws from it will live for eternity, as God has promised ....

Amen

Lively activity of the light beings before the remodelling ....

B.D. 3758 from May 2nd 1946, taken from Book No. 47

It is a process of utmost importance which is taking place in the universe due to the transformation of earth, which the spiritual world is also following attentively, for the activity of the spiritual beings of light has become extremely active due to this forthcoming upheaval, and it will enter a completely different stage after it .... i.e., the connection of the spiritual world with the earthly world will proceed unhindered, people will always and constantly be able to enter the bridges to the spiritual kingdom and be taught uninterruptedly directly. And it is the light beings' endeavour to gain souls even before the transformation because their great love wants to increase the degree of bliss which can subsequently be found on the new earth. All beings of light are assigned souls to take care of, yet winning them over and inducing them to purely spiritual striving is often exceedingly difficult if it is not even unsuccessful, i.e. if it fails due to the human being's will. It is not permissible to forcibly break the will and often impossible to win it over, and that is why the fate of the individual is also left to the beings of light, and their means consist of letting people get into predicaments in order to make their souls more compliant and receptive for their mental whisperings which are to change them. And thus the beings of light only ever carry out God's will, for their aim is the winning of individual souls for the kingdom of God. There is only a short time left until the end, therefore the work of the spiritual beings is exceedingly brisk, for in their state of light they recognize the great spiritual adversity, and they also know about the effect of it, they know what is in store for earth and all creations on it, and they seek to save what does not resist their help. All spiritual substances which are under God's will, which have become recipients of strength and light from God through love, participate in the final rescue action with utmost eagerness, and thus every individual soul is seized by its will of love and thus stimulated to change its will, partly through mental instructions, partly through adversity and tribulation and finally through the general hardship which will still pass over the earth due to God's intervention .... Every means of help will be used to increase the flock of His own and to still wrest from satan before the end those souls which are still weak but not completely hardened. For the forthcoming upheaval, which signifies the end of the earth in its present form, is too immense for the spiritual world not to take part to a great extent, whose aim and striving is always and constantly the redemption of the unfree spiritual. And if people carelessly entrust themselves to the spiritual beings of light they will only be able to derive advantages for their souls, for then they will be under the best protection, and spiritually and earthly they will be assisted by the beings of light who only carry out God's will, Who likewise promises His protection and help to all those who faithfully entrust themselves to Him .... And therefore people need not fear anything, no matter what may come, as long as they believe and seek contact with God and with the beings of light, which are only the executors of divine will, which are recipients of strength and light from Him and distribute them again to those who need and want to receive strength and light. You humans are constantly surrounded by these beings, and therefore you can constantly receive strength and light if your will strives for it .... For the spiritual world takes the most active interest in the plight of the whole of humanity as well as of the individual and is always ready to help, because it is God's will that every human soul is under the care of spiritual beings and can make great use of this. For the time until the end is short, and every soul is offered the opportunity to still reach the highest possible maturity, which is why the beings of light are also exceptionally active in order to then be able to remain in constant contact on the new earth with those who, through their loving care, reach the degree of maturity which entitles them to become inhabitants of the paradise of the new earth ....

Love, wisdom, power of God recognizable in the word ....

B.D. 3759 from May 3rd 1946, taken from Book No. 47

Recognize the spirit of wisdom which speaks from every word conveyed to you through My love. Think about it and, if it touches you beneficially, the strength of My word is already working on you, and then you will also recognize My love which conveys the word to you in order to make you blissfully happy. Love, wisdom and strength must always be recognizable in everything of divine origin, for love, wisdom and strength is the epitome of My nature, and whatever emanates from Me must testify to My nature or it could be denied its divine origin. I Myself am the word and come to you .... I Myself offer you something delicious .... Myself in My original substance .... love, wisdom and strength .... Consequently, by accepting My gift you must be filled with strength and wisdom, and your heart must feel urged to work of love, because love will always trigger reciprocated love, and thus I Myself must be in you in all abundance if you accept My word in recognition of its divine origin, if you acknowledge Me Myself as the giver of truth which is conveyed to you through My word, and thus accept with an open heart what My love offers you. Since you are a part of Me yourselves, only in an imperfect state due to your will which was averted from Me, this will, as soon as it is correctly directed, can change this imperfect state into a perfect one if you consciously make contact with Me in order to receive the emanation of Myself, of My love and strength .... if you therefore desire strength and grace from Me which is now conveyed to you in the form of My word. Then wisdom, strength and love will be your share, you will return to the divine state which was your original state from the start, because then I Myself will be within you, because you will no longer be external but merge with Me through the change of your will. Then I Myself am in you, just as you are in Me .... My word, which I Myself offer you from above, shall put you into this state, you shall listen to it, think about it, put it into action and thus live in love .... Then you will brightly and clearly recognize the origin of the word, you will recognize Me, My love, wisdom and strength and thus be filled with love, wisdom and strength yourselves, because this is the characteristic of My gift, that your nature will become like Mine as soon as you let My word take effect in you through your will. For I Myself am My word, and where I am there must be an abundance of love, light and strength ....

Transitoriness of the earthly .... need before the end ....

B.D. 3760 from May 4th 1946, taken from Book No. 47

Everything earthly is transient .... But why do you attach such great importance to the transient while you disregard the imperishable, your soul? Although the soul's imperishability cannot be proven to you, you can recognize the transience of all earthly things daily and hourly and from this realization already adjust your striving less earthly. And the less you desire earthly things the more insightful you will become with regard to the soul and its aim and purpose. Therefore the transience of earthly things will be brought home to you so closely in order to free you from the desires for them, so that the life of the soul will then receive more attention and you will attain realization. The body certainly constantly has its needs as long as it lives, and these must be taken into account by the human being fulfilling his earthly task, by fulfilling the duties which earthly life demands of him, by being constantly active. Yet he should come to the realization that earthly life was given to him in order to achieve an aim on earth, and he should seek to fathom this aim .... He should not look for it in earthly wealth, which is why the transience of it is constantly made clear to him. Anyone who is serious about finding out his purpose in life will also soon attain the right realization, for God gave him the intellect for this purpose, the ability to think about himself and everything he can see around him. And the serious will to find the right enlightenment about it will also ensure his success, he will think right and true and recognize the life of the soul, which is everlasting, as the most important thing and strive on earth to acquire eternal life for the soul. The realization of the futility of earthly goods must dissuade him from striving too eagerly for them, but faith in the soul's continued life must spur him on to the most eager striving for spiritual goods. And this is the purpose of the coming great destruction by God's will, which still lies ahead of people, so that they will seriously think about their soul and be ever more clearly pointed to the futility of striving for earthly goods. These are still valued all too highly despite the great earthly adversity, and as long as the soul is in danger of becoming completely worldly, God resorts to painful means in order to help them .... He takes everything from people because they are not willing to give it up voluntarily, because they put it before the soul's needs and thus they completely disregard their purpose of earthly life. It is a final admonition and warning, a last resort before the end, which is certainly very painful but can be all the more salutary if the human being wants to understand God's language and takes it to heart. The time until the end is only short but it can still be very valuable for the soul as soon as the human being puts earthly worries behind him and diligently cares for the soul by seriously striving for spiritual possessions, for possessions which are everlasting and which signify life for the soul in the spiritual kingdom when it departs from this earth ....

Bliss already on earth ....

B.D. 3761 from May 5th 1946, taken from Book No. 47

I already prepare heaven on earth for those who love Me with all their heart, who are absorbed in their desire for Me and thus carry Me in their heart. But if I promise you heaven on earth, you must not understand earthly goods by it but only the bliss of your heart, inner peace and the feeling of safest security in Me. For My gifts are of a different kind than the world offers you, yet they make you infinitely more happy, and anyone who receives them is already blissfully happy on earth. Then you will also be free from all earthly worries because you will know that the father in heaven cares for you, then you will no longer see the world as threatening to you but you will, as it were, stand outside all earthly events because you will already have been raptured into the spheres where My presence is palpable to you and thus you will no longer fear anything. And you are full of hope, full of confidence in a blissful life in the beyond and humbly accept earthly life with its burden because it no longer weighs you down, for you are spiritually strong and able to carry great burdens with ease. As soon as your heart pushes towards Me you strive for the marriage of your spirit with the father-spirit, and you will also seriously pursue the aim and never ever be left without strength by Me, for this marriage is also My beatitude and the purpose and aim of all My creations and creatures. And if you seriously strive for it, it will already take place on earth, and understandably this also signifies a blissful state which, however, does not have an external effect, i.e. in the body's well-being, but in the soul's harmonious composure, which finds supreme happiness in the union with Me and therefore turns its back on the world and all earthly pleasures. It looks at everything spiritually, it lives in the knowledge of the pure truth, it knows its final aim and only regards earthly life as a transition to actual life, and it constantly draws strength from Me, Who also provides for it abundantly because it has become Mine and because I provide for My own spiritually and physically, as I have promised. Therefore, anyone who loves Me with all his heart, who keeps My commandments of love, belongs to My own, and his earthly existence will truly be shaped in such a way as is bearable for him, while his soul will draw ever closer to Me and, in union with Me, find supreme bliss ....

Significance of the transmission of the divine word ....

B.D. 3762 from May 6th 1946, taken from Book No. 47

Worlds will pass away and countless new creations will arise, spiritual substances will be purified and reach perfection, My creative will will be active for eons of years and bring about eons of new creations which will pass away again once they have fulfilled their purpose, it will be an eternal change, a coming into being and passing away of material creations, and in an infinitely long period of time the spiritual substance will redeem itself from every form in order to then no longer need any creations but to work as a free spiritual substance in the spiritual kingdom, as was its original purpose .... But one thing remains unchangeable, as it was from eternity, so it will remain until all eternity .... My word .... For I Myself am the word and I will never change .... My word is the purest truth and therefore must always and forever have the same meaning, My word is the fundamental law of eternity which will remain even if heaven and earth pass away, i.e. the creations which arose through My will for the purpose of maturing the spiritual substance .... My word is the direct emanation of Myself, it is the expressed love for all created beings which are able to hear My word .... My word is the perceptible connection from Me to My living creations, to whom I gave the ability to receive it with heart and mind. And this word will never change, it will never pass away, it will remain in existence for all eternity. And thus, if I obviously make contact with My living creations through the transmission of My word, this testifies to My overwhelming love for you, for it is something so powerful that you humans are worthy of being directly touched by My emanation of love that you would feel exceedingly blissful already on earth if you could grasp the significance of it in all its depth. And you are weak and of little faith .... You fear and tremble when you can feel full of strength, when you are allowed to receive directly from Me that which will remain in existence for all eternity. In what fullness of strength you stand, and how anxious you are, because you are still too weak in knowledge! "Heaven and earth will pass away, but My word will endure for all eternity ...." These are My words and you should give them serious thought in order to become aware of the great gift of grace which you receive from Me every day. I Myself am with you in the word, and I truly cannot be overridden .... And thus My word cannot be rendered powerless by human will; thus My word, once it has found its way to you, will no longer be taken away from you, for I will not leave you if you desire My presence. And I Myself am present in the word .... Therefore, don't fear any act of violence against Me as long as you remain in contact with Me .... and fear even less that you will ever break this connection which you once entered into and which I Myself have blessed through the mediation of My word .... You will remain faithful to Me despite earthly adversity and tribulation, and I will remain just as faithful to you and will never leave you again, I will protect you and again and again approach you in the word so that you will finally be so convinced of My presence that nothing can shake you anymore. For once again I assure you that My word is and will remain truth, that everything around you can collapse but that My word will never ever lose its truth and strength and that you can therefore believe Me and attain inner peace as soon as you let Me speak to you .... I come to you Myself in the word .... What do you still fear when I Myself am with you? .... I alone have the power and the strength and also the will to help you in every adversity of body and soul, no power is stronger than I .... And My word promises you safe protection if you are bearers of truth and should serve Me in the last days before the end. And therefore trustingly hand yourselves over to My guidance and don't be afraid, for My will directs all events as My wisdom has recognized to be beneficial for your and your fellow human beings' souls ....

Grounding every event in God's love ....

B.D. 3763 from April 7th 1946, taken from Book No. 47

He, Who is love in Himself, cannot want or cause anything that harms one of His creatures .... but everything He does or allows serves the ascent development of that which is still distant from Him as a result of its self-inflicted imperfection. Nothing happens arbitrarily, but everything has been determined since eternity, it is intended in His eternal plan of salvation in recognition of its effectiveness. But the more the upward development falls behind, which can be achieved in a certain time, the more painfully perceptible are the means God uses to lead the imperfect to perfection, and that is why such means are not recognized as God's love, although only the exceedingly great love of Him Who created everything is the reason for it. Yet He always tries to convince His living creations of His love, He tries to inform them of His plan of salvation and therefore instructs them directly through His word, so that they will not remain in complete spiritual darkness and let God's working and activity pass them by unimpressed ..... He informs people of this so that they learn to recognize and love Him in His love .... His word provides information about what the human being needs to know in order to strive towards God, to fulfil His will and, through the fulfilment of his earthly task, to shape his soul likewise towards love .... in order to successfully cover the course of ascent development .... Thus God does not leave His living creations without knowledge about their imperfect state, about their relationship with Him and about the purpose and aim of earthly life. And it is up to each individual creature how it evaluates its knowledge, how it attunes itself to His word, which is conveyed to it again and again .... For His love is exceedingly great, and it will never rest until the spiritual has found its way back to the father of eternity from Whom it once originated. What has emerged from God eternally remains His share, yet it must be perfect in order to be able to exist next to Him as a blissful being .... If it makes itself imperfect then it distances itself from Him and its state is unhappy. But God's love and mercy helps the unhappy being and seeks to guide it back to happiness, and His wisdom truly recognizes the right and most effective means of recovery, and His love applies them .... And never will He do anything which would be an obstacle to the recovery of the spiritual. And everything that happens in the entire universe is based on God's great love, and if people recognize this they will also understand everything that happens on earth, for everything only serves the redemption of that which became unfree through its own fault ....

Spiritually directed senses ....

B.D. 3764 from April 8th 1946, taken from Book No. 47

Your senses must be spiritually directed in order to be able to receive spiritual things .... If grace and strength are to reach you, you must make yourselves receptive to it, that is, you must recognize your lack and appeal to Me to remedy it. This is not striving for earthly possessions, it is not a physical desire, it is the soul's need, it is spiritually directed thoughts. And the strength which now comes to you is likewise only of effect for your soul, although it also strengthens the body but it is not physically noticeable or externally recognizable. Strength and grace invigorate the soul, but where the soul is strengthened this is also shared with the body in an equally invigorating way. Strength can certainly also be requested to cope with earthly demands, and this request will also be fulfilled by Me. Then you will also receive spiritual strength, but even then the direction of your thoughts into the spiritual realm is a prerequisite which you fulfil through prayer to Me. However, the supply of strength for the soul is more urgent than the external supply of strength, and this requires spiritually directed thinking, thus an intensive connection with the spiritual kingdom, with the giver of spiritual strength .... But then your ascent development is also assured, for nothing remains without a supply of strength which desires such and makes its desire known to Me through spiritually directed thinking. But the latter requires a detachment from the earthly. Where the earthly predominates the human being establishes too little connection with the spiritual kingdom, and the supply of strength can only be granted in accordance with this connection. But anyone who ignores earthly things, who tries to replace them with spiritual goods, will receive abundant strength and grace, light, i.e. knowledge of the eternal truth, and he will live earthly life like a dream, for spiritual strength will lift him above the heaviness of earth. Seek to free yourselves from all earthly worries by uniting with Me ever more intimately, by directing all your senses spiritually, and you will be able to receive abundantly that which your soul lacks, which helps it to reach the height of .... you will be allowed to take possession of spiritual riches and be full of strength, and your body will also feel this beneficially, because the soul will soon subdue it and then it will desire nothing else than the soul, for both will then be guided by the spirit within itself, they will be drawn over into the spiritual kingdom, for the body, too, will participate in the emanation of strength and grace as soon as it has killed the desire for earthly good in itself ....

You can achieve everything from Me if you approach Me for it with firm faith and trust and unreservedly hand yourselves over to Me, as soon as you completely submit yourselves to My will and thus have entered into the right relationship with Me .... the relationship of a child with its father .... For the father does not deny His child any request because He loves it. And My love for you is exceedingly great and will also grant your every request, for My promise is: Ask and it will be given to you .... And once I have given you this assurance you can build on it rock solid, yet every slightest doubt, every slightest mistrust of this promise of Mine affects the child's right relationship with its father, for a child will completely trust its father and believe every word He says. And this is how you often make the fulfilment of your requests impossible for yourselves .... For firm faith alone is the guarantee that your request will not be in vain. The father, who loves his child, protects it from every danger, yet if he sees it in danger that its faith is weak in the father’s strength and love he will first try to restore the child's faith, and this can only happen through adversity in which the child calls upon the father and thus establishes the right relationship with him. And so does your heavenly father, Whose love for His children is infinitely greater and Who therefore also wants to enjoy His children's unlimited trust .... In profound unshakeable faith in My fatherly love you can achieve everything on earth .... Such faith will also let you walk in love, for then you will also not want to grieve the father and fulfil His will. And then you will also place yourselves under My will, thus you will unhesitatingly acknowledge everything I send upon you as good and wise, and then I will truly no longer need painful means of education but grant your requests at all times, I will remove all earthly adversity from you and let you walk even paths, for then you will no longer be in danger of going astray, your heart will press towards the father of eternity, Whose love is inexhaustible and constantly radiates it towards you. Believe and trust Me and don't doubt .... and you can go through your earthly life carefree at any time, for I will take care of you, I will fulfil every request at the right time, for everything is possible for Me, even if it seems earthly impossible ....

Amen

Trial of faith before the battle of faith ....

B.D. 3766 from May 10th 1946, taken from Book No. 47

The battle of faith demands courageous fighters, it requires much strength because it will be exceptionally difficult. And those who want to pass it, who want to emerge victorious from the last battle on this earth, must be so closely united with Me that they can constantly draw the strength from Me. They must live in the firm conviction that I am always by their side, that I fight with them and for them, and the awareness of My presence makes them courageous and powerful and resilient. They must believe in Me so firmly themselves that they are also convinced of the good outcome of this battle, and they must first gain this firm faith before the final battle on this earth begins. If I now let you go through often hard trials it is only for your own good, for you shall be active as My fighters in the last time before the end, and therefore I prepare you for it. I want to strengthen your faith through various tests which you have to pass. And your will will also lead you to success .... You will not fall away from Me through these trials but become increasingly firmer, you will feel My presence ever more faithfully, and this is what I want to achieve through every adversity which also approaches you, you My servants on earth. Fear nothing .... for I am with you .... And know that I will never ever leave you, even if I don't appear instantly, but I will always and constantly help you in the way you need in order to reach the aim. The coming battle of faith is the last and most difficult test but you will pass it and therefore need not fear it. But you have to wrestle through it, of your own free will you have to attain that strength of faith which makes you powerful and insurmountable in the face of the most severe attacks, so that you can teach people again with conviction, so that you can draw them to you as I have drawn you to Me. Yet as soon as you are filled with the awareness of My presence everything will be easy for you, and you will also fight for Me with a happy heart because you fight with Me, because you know that I always consider you with My strength and that you cannot be defeated. You can only draw strength and courage from Me, for you are too weak on your own and the world certainly does not give you strength and courage. But I give out in abundance if only you remain in contact with Me .... and so that you let this connection become ever more intimate you first have to be subjected to tests of faith which let you take refuge with Me until you are so convinced of My constant presence that you no longer fear anything .... until you are so firm in your faith that this is a guarantee for victory in the last battle on this earth ....

Amen

‘I Am the way, the truth, and the life ....’

B.D. 3767 from May 11th 1946, taken from Book No. 47

Only truth can lead to eternal life for you, for I Am the truth Myself and only through Me can you enter the eternal kingdom .... I Am the way, the truth and the life .... if you know the truth you will also take the right path which aims towards eternal life. Pure truth is the result of activity of love and this is the only way of changing the soul’s state of death into a state of life. Therefore, since I Am the eternal Love, I Am the way to Myself for My living creations, they must enter this path without fail in order to reach Me, Who alone gives them the eternal life. And in order to follow Me, in order to live a life of love on earth, they must be guided into truth, that is, they must first be taught how to shape their earthly life in order to then, through their compliance with My teaching, also be able to recognise the pure truth from Me, since without love all knowledge remains dead knowledge, it remains intellectual knowledge but not the knowledge of the heart, which alone gives life. I Am the way, the truth and the life .... I you seek Me you will enter the right path and find the truth and thus also acquire eternal life. I will come close to anyone who desires the truth for the sake of truth and guide him on the path of love, and if he does not resist his spirit will awaken to life and instruct him according to truth .... Then he will have found Me and will never lose Me again, he will be alive and can never die again .... Yet only true love can accomplish this, which is the result of unselfish loving actions .... No misguided teaching will lead to unity with Me, every misguided teaching extends the path of ascent, it feigns another goal to people and only a firm will to reach the right goal averts the great danger of going completely astray. However, without Me you will not find the right way, you must call upon Me, you must accept My instructions, you must take the path which I exemplified on earth, the path of love, in order to attain the truth, the recognition of Me Myself and eternal life. You must live in love because you cannot unite yourselves with Me without love, because I, the eternal Love, Am also the ultimate goal of the path of love and because you are still spiritually dead, that is, entirely without realisation, with no knowledge of divine wisdom, as long as your nature is totally alien to My fundamental nature, and therefore you cannot live as long as you don’t unite with Me, which can only take place through love ....

Amen

Christ’s Second Coming ....

B.D. 3768 from May 12th 1946, taken from Book No. 47

My birth on earth occurred at a time when people’s thoughts were in total disarray, at a time of great heartlessness and profound unbelief, it happened at a time when the human race was incredibly distanced from God .... That is, when I came to earth Myself in order to bring help in spiritual adversity. It was not the serious earthly difficulties of individual people which motivated Me to do so, but purely the spiritual hardship, for this signified certain downfall for an infinitely long time to come. I came to them Myself because their hearts remained unaffected by the written Word, thus I came Myself and brought them the Word through the mouth of Jesus, the man, in Whom I took abode and thus spoke through Him, because no-one can attain bliss without My Word .... And now it is just as it was at the time of My birth on earth, the same immense spiritual hardship prevails, the human race is in a hopeless situation if it does not receive help. Heartlessness is rife, faith is paralysed, the written Word has become meaningless for people, for they no longer live up to it and therefore cannot release themselves from their adversity either. And therefore I have come to earth again, except that I Am in spirit amongst people, as I have promised that I will stay with My Own until the end of the world .... I Am with them in spirit and reveal Myself to them through the spirit ....

Once again I bring My Word to them, I speak to people, and those who are of good will can also recognise My Word. And what would be more understandable than that I will not leave people without help? How else can they be helped unless I speak to them Myself? And in order to do so I must avail Myself of a person, I can only speak through a human mouth so as not to aggravate people’s state, i.e., so as not to deprive them of their freedom of faith, which would exclude any improvement of their spiritual state. My Word needs to be conveyed to people again in all purity as it originates from Me, so that it can also take effect on them. And since I Am the Word Myself I come to you Myself, I Am amongst you spiritually, I have descended to earth again in order to bring you help. And as I speak to you I also inform you of the time you are approaching, since it is My will that you know the great responsibility you have for your souls. This is why I address you, I draw your attention to the end, I admonish and caution you, I advise you and explain everything you need to know. And thus My presence is irrefutable for every thinking human being .... For once a person has recognised Me, once he believes in Me, he will never be able to deny a connection between the Creator with that which He has created; thus it will also be self-evident for him that I Am close where My presence is not resisted, and he will also believe that I want to prove My presence through My Word, which comes forth from Me directly and thus testifies to Me. I Am with you in the Word, it is My Second Coming, which I predicted would happen prior to the end .... And thus you can also expect this end with certainty, for I Myself told you the signs which precede the final end, and everything I proclaimed in Word and Scripture will come to pass , for My Word is and will remain truth for all eternity ....

Amen
