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.

Activity of the light beings on divine mission ....

B.D. 3769 from May 13th 1946, taken from Book No. 48

To stand in the light means to call true knowledge one's own, to possess a mental wealth which is of divine origin, which has God Himself as its source, Who is the eternal light, the eternal truth Itself .... Thus the spiritual being full of light is in intimate contact with God, it constantly receives His emanation and is therefore in a state of brightest realisation. And this is an extremely blissful state, for to possess the wisdom of God in order to know His will, His rule and activity, His eternal plan, is a state of freedom, a state which stimulates the utmost development of strength and determines every spiritual activity carried out by the beings of light. And activity is life .... Thus a life in utmost abundance of light is the fate of beings which have intimately united with God through love .... And thus, if the light, the pure truth from God, is already accessible to people on earth, the human being who acquires this eternal truth through a God-pleasing way of life can also already live on earth in beatitude, for he, too, has ended the dark spiritual state which is part of the human being's distanced from God, who lives without love and therefore also without contact with God. The earthly human being cannot yet fully appreciate the blessing of light, and the more he lives in darkness the less he respects the light. He feels at ease in darkness until a glimmer of light has touched him. And this can only happen through loving activity, otherwise the human being is not receptive for the radiation of light from the spiritual kingdom, which indirectly emanates from God but is conveyed by the beings of light on His behalf to people in need of light who do not escape the light. The truth from God is something very delicious, yet it remains veiled until a heart is shaped by the working of love such that it can recognize the truth, only then will the truth be delightful, and only then will the rays of light have an effect, i.e. they illuminate people's thinking, they make the human being free and aware of his task and his destiny. The brightness will always be delightful, and therefore it is the light beings' constant endeavour to spread light, i.e., to convey the truth to all those who still walk along in spiritual darkness. But the truth cannot be distributed without a corresponding willingness to receive it, and it is up to every person himself how he relates to the bearers of truth in the spiritual world. It is up to every person to make himself receptive to light through loving activity, because no person can be led to the light, i.e. to the truth from God, by force, but he will be given every possible help to come into possession of it if only he is of good will ....

Amen

Doubt, too, a help from God to the truth ....

B.D. 3770 from May 14th 1946, taken from Book No. 48

The fact that you humans get into conflict with yourselves is sometimes necessary in order to lead you to the fullest clarity about what still rests within you as an unresolved problem. For only when you are able to support something with conviction from within is it of lasting value to you. And therefore you have to get into doubt and conflict so that the process of right thinking can begin, which always presupposes a serious questioning. And therefore come to Me that I may enlighten your spirit, that I may order your thinking and introduce you to truth. For the latter only emanates from Me and anyone who wants to know the truth must want to receive it from Me, he must consult Me and request My clarification. I Myself distribute the most precious, the eternal truth, because I am the Truth Myself .... but only to the one who desires it. But in order to desire the truth the human being must be in doubt as to whether he possesses the pure truth, otherwise he will never desire it. He who believes himself to be in the truth holds on to his knowledge with tenacity; he who doubts the truth of his knowledge allows himself to be taught. And thus doubt is also a help from My side, since I recognize every person's will and his desire for truth and guide his thoughts accordingly .... Thus I will inwardly enlighten every person who asks Me for it, because I, as the eternal Truth, only ever aim to guide all people into truth. Yet as long as people are not convinced that the eternal truth takes care of their living creations Itself, as long as they do not believe that I Myself Am active in the human being, they will not take the direct path to Me in matters of doubt either, instead they will try to solve the problem intellectually and cannot arrive at the right result without My help. And if a person has made himself worthy of My help through loving activity, if I have guided his thoughts correctly, the result of his thinking will not be acknowledged because people lack faith in My working in the human being, who has shaped himself into love .... thus they doubt anew, they argue again, for only intellectual thinking brings different results to light and the disputed question remains unresolved. Only the person who has received the answer through My spirit is fully convinced of its truth .... he has found the right answer which only My spirit could impart to him, which originates from Me and cannot offer anything but pure truth, and let this speak to you.

Amen

Victory of truth ....

B.D. 3771 from May 15th 1946, taken from Book No. 48

Lies will never stand up to the spirit of truth, and thus the deepest night will one day be dispelled by the light of day, which is the pure truth from God. But the free will of man will never be circumvented, who must decide for himself for truth or untruth. And that is why lies and error also gained the upper hand on earth, because people themselves did not defend themselves against them. Anyone who earnestly seeks the truth by calling upon God will find it, but he has to find it within himself .... However, anyone who looks for truth in sources opened by human thinking will search in vain, for no one's own thinking can guarantee pure truth as soon as it is based on adopted knowledge, on thoughts which were passed on in a scholastic way and where God's spirit therefore remained uninvolved because the originator of pure truth was left unnoticed. For where the spirit of God cannot work, lies and error have free access, and this is due to the will of the human being himself. But if the lie has taken hold then it is difficult to suppress it, however, it has to give way to the pure truth from God, it will not be able to withstand it, it will be recognized by those who appeal to God for enlightenment, it will be completely overruled, and God-bound people will free themselves from every lie and error and go to battle against it. And again, the truth-desiring human being will side with those who stand in truth, because every serious will for truth also results in the recognition of the lie. Light and darkness will be in constant conflict, but the light will be victorious and chase away the night which is spread over the earth. But the battle will be hard because people's will is partly weak and partly in bondage to the adversary, so that the bearers of truth will have a difficult time in the time before the end. For for the sake of people's freedom of will God will not intervene until the last day has come .... He does not force people to recognize the truth but brings it so close to them that they only need to use their will correctly in order to recognize it. Light will be where light is desired, and darkness will reign where light is denied access. But in the end the light will penetrate because this is God's will, for all darkness, all powers which oppose God and thus the eternal truth, will be banished and transferred from the state of being able to recognize into a state of complete powerlessness again, so that no opposing forces will be able to take effect and pure truth will fill all people who then live on earth .... For the earth will arise anew and only shelter people who are filled with the spirit of God, who live in the light because they are close to God and no longer need to fear lies and error ....

Amen

God's blessing on His workers ....

B.D. 3772 from May 16th 1946, taken from Book No. 48

And I bless all those who serve Me .... they shall not suffer hardship as long as they are My instruments, as long as I can express Myself through them, as long as they surrender their will to Me, thus want to be active for Me and My kingdom. Even though their living conditions adapt to the general hardship I will nevertheless provide compensation, as I have promised them, because they feel like My children whom I take care of in a fatherly way. And I can truly make every adversity bearable for you if you firmly believe in Me. But anyone who is diligently active for My kingdom also has faith within himself, even though his heart is sometimes anxious and fearful. And I want to help him to strengthen his faith through visible help. Therefore pay attention to every help and recognize it as My work, and your faith will constantly increase in strength and power. The majority of people are distant from Me due to their unbelief and hardened hearts. They don't believe in My direct influence through and on all events, they don't believe in a guiding father's hand, in visible help in greatest adversity, and thus they fail to approach Me Myself for the latter. And I want to show them the effect of a firm faith in you by guiding you through the most severe adversity in a way that is bearable for you. And they can recognize Me and My working if only they are of good will. For again and again I will create a way out where hardship approaches you in all severity, because I already reward My Own on earth for what they want to do for Me, because they are in My service and I, as their employer, truly do not leave My workers in adversity. I will protect them in every earthly adversity and danger, and those who are distant from Me shall recognize the blessing upon their spiritual activity which corresponds to My will. I take care of My workers and also take care of them .... And every anxious worry can fall away from you, for I am your employer and father at the same time .... Only allow for obvious activity on My part through strong faith, so that your fellow human beings will also benefit from it, so that they will also learn to believe because they have proven the strength of faith in you. You have a lot of work to do, for you are only at the beginning of it, yet you will also easily master it because I am with you and you receive My strength as soon as you are active for Me. You only have to make yourselves receptive to this strength through strong faith and everlasting loving activity .... Then you will be earthly and spiritually blessed, you will have no earthly adversity and be able to achieve the greatest spiritual success, you will be above all earthly circumstances as My labourers, you will master them with My strength, for My blessing accompanies you everywhere, you who want to serve Me in the last days before the end, you who want to be active for Me and My kingdom ....

Amen

God's intervention ....

B.D. 3773 from May 17th 1946, taken from Book No. 48

My will shall defeat human will, My intervention shall prevent people's intentions, and before long every power shall be weakened in as much as by itself it is helpless against My will .... For I will show the world that it cannot exclude Me and that I will redirect earthly affairs when human beings are no longer able to do so themselves. I allow events to run their course until it is clearly apparent which power wants to assert itself on earth, but then I won't hesitate any longer and disable this power, if only temporarily, so that the time shall be fulfilled. I will visibly appear before the end, i.e. I will once more approach all human beings as overwhelming Power which only expresses itself destructively because nothing else but fear can persuade people to call upon Me .... the fear of death from which they cannot be saved without My help. There is no other way to turn their thoughts towards Me. And earthly power will disappear into thin air; it is equally incapable of resisting the forces of nature through which I will speak. A sudden change will occur, all human considerations will become invalid, new problems will have to be solved, new difficulties will appear and much strength will be needed yet again to master the new situation .... And this is My will.

I have compassion for humanity which, in spite of the most severe hardship, cannot find its way to Me, which only takes notice of world events and does not detect therein the effect of its deluded reasoning and extreme distance from God .... which believes that all fault and origin of adversity rests in human will but not in their own spiritual poverty, which is the cause and which every human being should aim to resolve. And thus I will confront people with My will to make them realise that they are also at the mercy of another Power so that they will approach this Power for help .... that they will acknowledge Me .... because only then will I be able to help them. People are in urgent need of help, yet they close themselves to the strength they require. And to make them receptive of this strength I will allow severe suffering to happen. In just a short time you will hear Me, and the truth of My Word will be proven to you and blessed are those who believe before I provide them with proof, blessed are those who prepare themselves and constantly draw their strength from Me, for they need not fear the hardship, nor will they be harmed by the forces of nature, because this is My will ....

Amen

Light from the height ....

B.D. 3774 from May 18th 1946, taken from Book No. 48

Heaven lets its light shine down to earth but earth remains dark, it refuses to accept the light, for the inhabitants of earth have their eyes fixed on the kingdom of darkness which occasionally emits a glow of fire but which is only satan's deception. And they greedily seek to catch this illusionary light and pay no attention to the gentle light which comes from above. Only a few accept it, and for these the spell of darkness is broken, they have escaped the night and are walking towards a bright morning. Why do you people hesitate to receive the light from the heavens? Why do you chase after a deceptive light and do not let yourselves be taught about its unworthiness? Why do you not want to receive from above what the depths can never offer you? Why do you not muster the will to free yourselves from the power that holds you in the darkness of the spirit? .... Because you are no longer able to believe in the Giver of light, in an almighty, wise and loving creator of eternity Who also created you and truly for a different purpose than the one you strive for. Consider how meaningless your existence is when you imagine that tomorrow can already bring your physical end .... What use is that which you so eagerly strive to attain, what use are earthly goods to you if your body has ceased to be? Your soul will then meet a dreadful fate, for it is without any spiritual possession and therefore without strength, it is dead but not extinguished .... Let yourselves be taught if the bearers of light step into your path, listen to them and ponder their words, and with an earnest will you will recognize that their words are not empty, that they carry life within them, that they are well to be believed as soon as a creator is acknowledged from eternity .... and seek to gain faith in a creator through reflection and questions which you send into infinity .... And the light from the heavens will also touch you and you will feel its benefit, a mild and gentle glow will fall into your heart, your spirit will be enlightened and the desire for ever brighter light will stir within you and find fulfilment. Let the light from above have an effect on you, don't flee from it, for this light alone will bring you life, it is not a deceptive light but imparts spiritual possessions to you, the striving for which means bliss for you and brings bliss .... escape the darkness through your will and you will live ....

Amen

Loving Fatherly Words ....

B.D. 3775 from May 19th 1946, taken from Book No. 48

You will remain in My care for the rest of your life, and therefore nothing should frighten you, nothing should make you anxious and seem insurmountable to you once you have gained faith in My strength, love and wisdom. Who should protect you if not the One Who is love in Himself? .... Who has the power to do so and Who wants to draw you close to Himself? And so I will also take your earthly adversity from you once you have gained complete faith. And therefore don't be afraid. Bear everything with patience and in submission to My will and know that it is necessary for your soul's salvation but that I will not burden you with more than you can carry, and I will support you at all times if you can no longer master your situation on your own. However, the fact that I cannot entirely avert adversity from you is also purely based on My love, for the time until the end is short and I want to make eternal life in all its glory accessible for you, who are My Own, and therefore purify your souls to become suitable for the spiritual kingdom. Always keep My immeasurable love in mind if you suffer, because during your final span of earthly life it wants to help you attain complete liberation .... And you will bear everything more easily and only ever learn to love Me more sincerely because My love is mightily drawing you closer. Even so, I will never abandon you .... Removing the adversity from humanity would signify absolute ruin for an infinitely long time; but I still want to save that which will not shirk from My loving help. And you, too, must experience this adversity, albeit you do not need it to the same extent, yet it will even have a richly blessed result for you and, one day, you will recognise it as a special grace from Me. But if you do not exclude Me from your thoughts, you will be able to endure even the greatest hardship, for My yoke is easy, and My burden is light .... And My Word is truth .... If I Myself promise you My help, if I want to help you carry your cross at all times when you ask Me to do so, you need not be afraid of breaking down under the burden which I have placed upon you for your own sake. Call upon Me in your adversary and I will always be ready to help .... Believe in Me, and the strength of your faith will banish it in an instant .... And realise that you will only suffer if your faith is too weak .... Therefore make an effort and constantly pray for a strong faith and you will overcome every adversity and your end will be a blessed one ....

Amen

Announcement of the catastrophe ....

B.D. 3776 from May 20th 1946, taken from Book No. 48

I convey a proclamation to you which is extremely important. You must prepare yourselves for the forthcoming turn of events, for soon I will visibly appear. The time given to you is coming to an end and My Word will fulfil itself, to the joy of a few and the horror of many people who have recognised and shall again recognise Me when I express Myself and demonstrate My will and My power. You are at the final stage in order to then take a path full of deprivations and tribulation, for this is needed for people who shall experience My power in order to reach out and grasp My helping hand. My last teaching method seems to be relentless and cruel to people and yet it is only based on My love, for countless souls will go astray without this final means and I still want to gain a few by using it. Recognise My love in the fact that I have announced and persistently continue to announce the forthcoming event to you in order to make you believe, if you don't want to believe it beforehand ....

You will all have to experience fearful hours and the survivors must endure most difficult conditions which seem insufferable to them. Yet I promise My strength and help to all who call upon Me in spirit and in truth. I will not take notice of lip prayers but only of the call that rises up to Me from the bottom of your heart .... This will be granted, and every adversity will be lessened and thus become tolerable for people who believe in Me .... News will reach you about worldly plans and measures yet they shall be shattered by My will, you will hear about new danger but should know that a different danger is approaching and that you need not fear the former and should only direct your attention to Me and My kingdom and that you must join Me ever more closely in order to receive more strength for the hours of greatest need .... I say this to you because My love wants to prepare you for that which is inevitable and will happen according to My eternal plan, because you still require much strength and have to receive it through a sincere will, heartfelt prayer and activity of love. Only take care of your souls and let go of all earthly worries, come to Me in every adversity and difficulty so that you will never distance yourselves from Me, so that you will constantly stay in contact with Me and then also feel My presence when I speak to you humans from above with a voice of thunder .... so that you will not be afraid of Me but appeal to Me as your Father of eternity for His protection, which He will surely grant you ....

Amen

Value of the divine word ....

B.D. 3777 from May 21st 1946, taken from Book No. 48

What the Lord Himself announces to you is truly worthy of the greatest attention, for not a single word flows out of His holy mouth which would be useless or to be disregarded. And His warnings and admonitions in the last days are of particular urgency, for they are intended to save your souls from ruin, which is certain for you without His word because you do not practise love. And thus He Himself approaches you again and again and presents to you the great danger you are in, and anyone who pays attention to His word banishes the danger himself; yet anyone who closes his heart and ear to His sanctified word will not be saved for eternity, he will face certain ruin. For the last judgement is near, i.e. the day when the spiritual will be set free or banished again according to its maturity, when it will be judged according to its works which it has done or not done of its own free will. And this day is of such drastic importance for all spiritual substances that God first creates every opportunity for them to reach a high degree of maturity in order to escape renewed banishment in solid matter. And therefore He tries to awaken people's sense of responsibility by pointing out to them through His word the consequences of a wrongly used will and showing them the right way to reach the aim. His word is the evidence of His love for the unredeemed, for through His word He wants to help them to freedom, and therefore it is a precious gift which should not remain unused, which is extremely strength-giving and helps to achieve greatest spiritual success if it is faithfully accepted by Him. Anyone who pays attention to what God says to him need not fear taking a wrong path, for God's word is the right guide, it is a source of strength, it is the direct connection between God and people, which must always be a blessing for the one who desires His word. For he is also in intimate contact with the eternal word Itself, with the One Who is the purpose and aim of his earthly life .... The last Judgment will separate the spirits; everything striving towards God will grasp His love and enter a state of utmost bliss, while everything striving away from Him will fall prey to His wrath, i.e. it will have to remain far away from God, in utmost weakness, for infinite times again and walk through countless creations until it is allowed to use its free will again, until it is allowed to hear His sanctified word again and is put to the final test of will. His word enlightens people about the meaning and purpose of their earthly life, and good for him who pays attention to His word, who listens to it and gives it life through deeds of love .... For the word will approach him and remain with him for all eternity ....

Amen

Sincerity of prayer strengthens faith ....

B.D. 3778 from May 23rd 1946, taken from Book No. 48

Sincerity of prayer increases the receptivity for My Word, and thus you will always receive strength and grace if you pray to Me in spirit and in truth. And regardless of how often the world wants to come between you and Me, it will be unable to sever your connection to Me, just as it will never be able to stop Me from approaching you in the Word as long as you don't forget to call upon Me for help. Yet I expect your prayer to Me as long as your faith is not strong enough that even the worst worldly danger is no longer capable of destroying your awareness of My presence. Only then will you be indelibly united with Me. Weak faith, however, will loosen the bond; it always will have to be established anew through prayer. Yet I assure you that it will never tear apart, for I know My Own and draw them to Me until they are forever inseparably connected to Me. That which is yet to happen to Earth will be so immense that it will necessitate great strength of faith if a person wants to survive it without damage to his soul. And every earthly crisis is a preparation for this time which will come to pass without fail according to My proclamation. I certainly place a heavy burden upon humanity, I let great suffering come upon them, yet I also know their results and only ever consider people's salvation of soul, whom I want to help in their spiritual hardship.

However, if you are profoundly faithful you will be calm and peaceful, and even the greatest adversity will neither frighten nor weaken you. Aim to achieve this faith, always and forever try to establish a connection with Me, don't pay too much attention to the world and its requirements but immerse yourselves ever more deeply in My Word, accept strength directly from Me through My Word, let yourselves be nourished and refreshed by Me so that you will be awash with strength and feel no more anxiety, so that you will live in awareness of My presence and commend yourselves to My love and grace without worry. I know of all your problems, I know of your souls' despondency, the anxiety of your hearts, and evaluate everything according to how far your will applies to Me. And correspondingly I will direct all happenings such that they will benefit your souls. Never disregard the sincerity of prayer, always look for Me in every adversity and danger, and I will hear your call and help you. For you ought to become My Own with every fibre of your heart, you ought to seek the most intimate unity with Me so that you faith will gain such strength that you will no longer fear whatever will come your way ....

Amen

Unlimited power of God .... effect of the will ....

B.D. 3779 from May 24th 1946, taken from Book No. 48

He who created heaven and earth, Whose power is unlimited .... Consider this if you are weak in faith and fearful. He certainly leaves the human being's will free but His will directs the effect of what human will has initiated. And therefore fear nothing as long as you subject yourselves to God's will, as long as you want to be of service to Him .... For then human will can give birth to nothing but what is good for your souls. And your physical well-being will also be taken into account according to your faith. Take note of the fact that One will always take care of you, physically and spiritually, as He has promised you, that His power is unlimited, His love is exceedingly great and His will only applies to your salvation from spiritual adversity, that you will not be abandoned by Him for a moment if you don't leave Him, if your will strives for unification with Him .... There is great spiritual hardship on earth, it is a state of utmost hopelessness, and only a few remain in contact with their father and creator of eternity. But these few can live on this earth without fear and worry, they are His children whom the father faithfully guides through earthly life home to His father's house. The great darkness on earth also frightens your souls, yet the light from the heavens will chase away your fear, for it is from God, and God's gifts are truly not without effect for the one who gratefully accepts them from His hand. What you lack earthly, replace with spiritual gifts, and you will be far more richly provided for and have no need, for you consider the soul which is immortal and will soon leave your body. But you may always ask God to make your earthly life bearable as well .... And if you unquestioningly believe in His help it will not fail to materialise, for God's power is unlimited, He is able to help you and His love will help you if you are truly His children and trust Him unreservedly. Surrender yourselves into His will, for He alone knows what is good for you, He will guide you through the night to the light, He will never leave you alone but constantly walk beside you, He will stretch out His hand towards you which you can grasp at any time, and under His guidance you will walk correctly, you will reach your aim, even though your path is sometimes arduous and thorny .... His love protects you so that you do not suffer harm ....

Amen

Inner peace .... connection with God ....

B.D. 3780 from May 25th 1946, taken from Book No. 48

In the connection with Me you will find peace and inner peace. I am constantly with you, yet in order to be tangibly close to you your thoughts must also be with Me, and you will feel Me and receive strength as required. The adversity of the body helps the soul to liberate itself and to swing into spiritual spheres, and when it returns to earth it is strengthened and no longer fears earthly adversity. For My breath has touched it, it has entered My flow of strength because it craved strength, and My strength is the outpouring of Myself, I am close to you, and where I am every anxiety, every worry is invalid. Connect with Me often, make yourselves receptive for the flow of strength of My love, open yourselves and My presence will become conscious to you and bring you inner peace. Strength constantly flows to you through My word, and if you adhere to it you can constantly strengthen yourselves as soon as you need strength. It is My will that you remember Me in hours of adversity, that you call out to Me and seek contact with Me from the bottom of your heart so that My strength can become effective in you. For then you will also believe in Me, My might and My love, and then you will also be assured of all help .... Call upon Me in adversity and I will hear you .... and do not doubt this word, for every doubt diminishes the flow of strength, through your doubts you yourselves limit My activity towards you .... Believe that I want to help you and can help you, and ask for this help and it will be given to you in every adversity of body and soul. And your soul will stop trembling and worrying, it will become calm in Me, aware of My presence and My constant willingness to help ....

Amen

God as a constant guide and companion ....

B.D. 3781 from May 26th 1946, taken from Book No. 48

Choose Me as your constant companion and guide, and you will be properly guided. You will reach the aim I have set for you so that you will become blessed. I truly know no other aim than to know you are blissfully happy, and thus you cannot take any other path with Me than the path to eternal beatitude. Yet your will has to submit itself to Me, you have to let yourselves be drawn by Me and not be pushed away from Me by your own wrong will onto a path which appears smoother but leads you astray. If you choose Me as your guide and companion you can completely leave yourselves to Me without worry, you only have to express your will to entrust yourselves to My guidance through heartfelt prayer. For I will not take hold of you against your will .... And therefore your way of life must also correspond to My will, because it also gives Me evidence of your rightly directed will, which should not merely remain a will but be put into action. I do not demand a great sacrifice from you if I demand the fulfilment of My will, for the latter only signifies an insertion into My eternal order. And the law of My eternal order is truly not that difficult to comply with, for it corresponds to the original state of the beings which originated from Me. It will only be difficult for you if you are still too far away from this original state due to your own will. But then you must make an effort to reach it again and appeal to Me for help .... Then you will indeed have to fight a battle with yourselves, yet you must always take My will, My commandment of love, as your guideline, you must seriously want it, and you will also be able to do so because I bless every serious will and provide the human being with strength to carry out the will. And submission to My will is the surest guarantee that I will also take over the leadership, that I will guide you on all paths and lead you towards the right aim. And then don't resist Me, don't look for the temptations of the world, i.e., don't desire to walk on the side paths which seem more comfortable and appealing to you, but only ever follow Me with your face turned away from the world, for the aim will be incomparably more glorious for you and the world will never be able to offer you what I offer you once you have reached the end of the path under My guidance. Do not shrink back from bumps, from seemingly insurmountable obstacles .... under My guidance every path is passable, under My guidance there is no obstacle that is insurmountable. But do not think you can travel the path alone without My help .... For your strength is too weak and your will the same, and only I can increase your strength, take you by the hand and guide you safely .... And therefore entrust yourselves to Me, give up your own will and walk the path without any concern of going astray. For I want to guide you into My father's house, I want to fetch My children back and prepare dwellings for them in the spiritual kingdom .... But only one path leads there, and you all have to walk this path if you want to reach your aim .... But I will always and constantly be your guide because I want to make you blessed, because I love you from the beginning and will love you for all eternity ....

Amen

The spiritual in man himself draws near the last judgement ....

B.D. 3782 from May 27th 1946, taken from Book No. 48

Humanity's conduct cries out for judgment .... it draws the last Judgment itself, for it truly no longer pays attention to the purpose of earthly life, it is no longer on the spiritual level which requires an embodiment on earth as a human being. And therefore it will be thrown back from the last stage of its development into the initial stage again, and it will have to take the earth as its abode again for an infinitely long time in order to finally be able to redeem itself one day. People no longer recognize Me, they are more unbelieving than ever and therefore do not seek contact with Me either, they are without strength and can no longer develop spiritually, yet they strive even further away from Me by seeking strength from My adversary, by trying to increase themselves and their strength through their own unkindness and by passing by their fellow human being's adversity apathetically. It is a state on earth which is not bearable and therefore requires an urgent change, it is a state which completely contradicts My law of eternity and therefore cannot be tolerated by Me. People themselves do not strive for an improvement of their spiritual state but they sink ever deeper. And for the sake of the spiritual substance itself, which is embodied on earth as a human being, I interrupt its course of development .... I place the spiritual substance again into the external form which corresponds to its degree of development .... I judge the spiritual, I end the state of freedom it had already reached and imprison it again, completely depriving it of its freedom for its former salvation. I judge it, however, the spiritual itself draws the judgement, people in the stage of free will are themselves the originators of what is about to happen to earth. Human will does not strive for final freedom but chains itself more firmly than ever to matter and thus testifies to the desire which is also granted to it. People's own love is predominant, neighbourly love is not practised, and people completely switch off their love for Me, for they no longer recognize Me and, due to their lack of love, also render themselves incapable of recognising Me. And this is a spiritual low which results in the dissolution of the creations which sheltered the spiritual for the purpose of ascent development. The time is drawing ever closer when this act of dissolution will take place, for humanity does not improve, it remains hard and unfeeling in its thoughts and actions, it no longer recognizes the law of love which, however, underlies My eternal order. Yet without love there is no existence, for love is strength, and strength is needed by every being which strives upwards .... which wants to live in freedom and bliss and which wants to dwell close to Me for eternity ....

Workers for the kingdom of God .... teaching activity ....

B.D. 3783 from May 28th 1946, taken from Book No. 48

A time of complete faithlessness also trains up zealous servants of God who, as a result of their God-pleasing way of life .... a walk in unselfish neighbourly love .... and see the consequences of a wrong way of life without faith and love. These people, who are of awakened spirit, now work steadfastly and full of devotion for the kingdom of God .... They want to help the erring, enlighten the ignorant and warn the stubborn and God-opposing people. And God takes everyone into His service who offers himself to work for His kingdom, and He places everyone in his place according to his ability .... He gives them a sphere of activity appropriate to their knowledge, so that everyone who wants to serve God can be active wherever he is urged from within. A person's unrestrained devotion to God on earth and the will to serve Him is decisive as to whether he will be accepted as a labourer for His vineyard, but then he will always and everywhere find the opportunity for spiritual work and use his vitality in the right way .... leading people to faith, pointing them to God's great love and mercy, making them aware of the wrongness of their actions and will and also mentioning the time of the end on God's behalf. The more faithful a worker is for the Kingdom of God itself, the more convincingly he will be able to speak and the greater spiritual successes he will achieve. And the more joyfully he devotes himself to his work, the more capable he becomes for it, because then it is no longer he alone who works, but God Himself through him. And thus anyone who is active for God out of innermost conviction and true neighbourly love will carry His spirit within himself, and this will instruct him and impel him to eager spiritual activity. And he will bear true witness to God, to His love, wisdom and omnipotence, and God's blessing will accompany him on all his ways .... Yet special servants are chosen by God for teaching activity, because this requires knowledge which the servant of God first has to acquire through the dedication of his will and constant willingness to accept instructions from the spiritual kingdom, from the mouth of God .... The direct transmission of the divine word is necessary if the human being wants to be a teacher to his fellow human beings whose teaching is complete truth. The spirit of God can indeed express itself through every profoundly devout person, and then he will only speak the absolute truth, even if he has not been obviously introduced to it before, but then this always requires listeners who are not completely unbelieving, who are therefore willing to listen to what is conveyed to them through God's servant. But if humanity is entangled in error and lies, as in the last days before the end, then it is also necessary to give them light by confronting them with the pure truth, and this requires a knowledge, a realisation of the pure truth, which the teacher must have received from God Himself if he wants to be successfully active towards his fellow human beings. For then he must be able to withstand all objections and contradictions, he must be in knowledge himself, only then can he pass it on. The spirit of God will then certainly also speak through those servants of God, but in such a way that the fellow human being is not forced to believe, but can always consider what is preached to him to be his own human thinking, and he can then freely decide to accept it or not. In the last days before the end there will be a fight with the sharpest means against everything spiritual, and then the sharpest weapons will also have to be used in order to prevail in the battle .... it must be fought with the sword of the mouth with the assistance of the divine spirit .... Then victory will not fail to come .... And God's blessing rests on everyone who works diligently for Him as His servant, because this work is exceedingly necessary and shall still bring salvation to countless souls from deepest spiritual hardship ....

Blessings of faith in time of need ....

B.D. 3784 from May 29th 1946, taken from Book No. 48

You will experience all the blessings of faith when hardship approaches you in all its severity. Do not despair, for I am with you all days until the end .... And you truly cannot have greater protection than My presence guarantees you. And try to gain faith in it beforehand, pray and live in love, and My presence will become a certainty for you, and then you will be fearless and strong. But the adversity is inevitable, for the last days of life have come for countless people, which shall still bring them salvation in spiritual adversity. I have to attack them harshly and tangibly if I still want to win them over for Myself, and therefore you, too, have to accept the days of adversity for the sake of your fellow human beings, yet always standing under My protection and overcoming everything with My strength and grace. But if the great adversity approaches you, you will no longer be timid if only you are willing to firmly believe, for I hear the prayer of the heart which is meant to gain a strong faith. As soon as you feel Me close to you, you will no longer fear, then you will be strong and take up every battle, earthly as well as spiritual, i.e. with the enemy of your souls. Hold out and do not be afraid, for whom I have once promised My protection I will never leave, I will guide you safely through all adversity and danger. Every day brings you closer to the great event, which does not take place through human will, but solely through My will. And no matter how great the hardship is before, it will come to an end through that event, but it will cause a different kind of hardship. But you can also become master of it if you stand by Me and create and work with Me. For the time being, believe in My constant presence with My Own, with those who try to shape themselves through a way of life according to My will for love .... Believe in My working in and through you and you will be overcome by peace, even in the face of greatest adversity, for then you will constantly draw strength from Me, from the One in Whom you believe. Do not be anxious and of little faith, for your adversity will be all the greater, but banish it yourselves through firm faith .... Therefore pray and live in love, and your faith will strengthen and attain a strength which eliminates all fear, for you feel safe and powerful in My presence and you will also master the most difficult with My strength .... very quickly a change will take place, very quickly the days will pass, one adversity will chase the other, and suddenly I will speak from above as I have proclaimed always and constantly .... You are so close to it that you will have to bear everything calmly in view of it, for these are the last storms before the great storm that will pass over the earth .... Remember that I stood by you as a constant admonisher and warner and pointed out this time of adversity to you, remember that the great adversity will also begin, as I have proclaimed, for My word is and remains eternal truth .... And draw strength from it, which is always and constantly at your disposal if you desire it. A father withholds nothing from his children because he loves them; he protects them in every adversity and danger. And so does your heavenly father, Who loves you even more and therefore provides you with every physical and spiritual protection so that one day you will be able to enter His kingdom unharmed ....

God’s appointed servants .... Truth ....

B.D. 3785 from May 30th 1946, taken from Book No. 48

Anyone who feels called to work for Me and to work on earth in My name always and forever has to let himself be drawn and guided by Me, he has to let Me speak to Him through the voice of His heart, he has to listen to what this voice tells him and comply with the prompting of his heart. Anyone who feels called has to stay in constant contact with Me, he has to subordinate himself unconditionally and without resistance to My will. Only then can I work through him, only then is he My servant in truth, the labourer, who conscientiously carries out the work for His Lord. However, he will feel his appointment by Me in the desire to proclaim My Word, My will .... he will feel urged to inform people about the meaning and purpose of earthly life, he will feel urged to admonish and warn them since he himself, if he has been appointed by Me to work for My kingdom, knows the pure truth and will also always want to spread it. The appointment by Me is the result of spiritual maturity which enables the human being to accept the pure truth from Me, and thus no person can ever be appointed by Me who was not taught by the spirit within himself first.

Although he is also able to accept knowledge intellectually it does not enable him to spread the truth because he does not completely recognise the truth in the knowledge he received. However, it is necessary to recognise the pure truth first before he can pass it on to his fellow human beings. And this recognition can only be imparted to him by My spirit .... The human being has to be spiritually reborn, only then will he have the right understanding and recognition for pure truth, only then will he have been taught by Me Myself and will be able to work as My servant on earth. The inner desire to serve Me will also result in his calling by Me, because I will accept everyone who offers himself to work for My kingdom on earth and prepare him in accordance with his spiritual maturity. And if he gives himself to Me entirely he will follow the faintest prompting of his heart and thus always comply with My will when I require him to work for Me. For this reason he has to completely detach himself from the world, he has to look at his contact with Me as utmost bliss and as far as possible ignore all worldliness. Then he will hear the spirit within himself ever more brightly and clearly and follow this voice ever more gladly, and then he will be a suitable worker for My kingdom on this earth ....

Amen

Great tribulation proof of the truth of the divine word ....

B.D. 3786 from May 31th 1946, taken from Book No. 48

The path to the eternal home is thorny and arduous, and especially so in the last days before the end. But it is all the shorter the more difficult it is to pass. The end is near and all obstacles will once again pile up in front of you, yet after overcoming them you will be able to walk freely and enter the spiritual kingdom where all hardship has come to an end. And if you seriously think about it, your difficult earthly existence must first give you the certainty that the end is near, for I have predicted to you since the beginning of this redemption period the hardship and tribulation you will experience before the end, that you will have to live through a hardship on earth such as has never been experienced before, and from this you can already recognize the truth of My word, for the suffering and hardship around you is immense and will become even greater. But to My Own I call out: Be patient and wait for My help .... What is inevitable, what I have proclaimed long before, must come to pass to the sorrow of countless people and to strengthen the faith of My Own. The time of great tribulation has dawned and anyone who remembers My word knows that the last hour will soon come. And he will bear witness to Me and My word, which is truth and will remain so for all eternity. And no matter how great the adversity is, it must be proof to you of the truth of My word and strengthen your faith, it must be a comfort to you, for with this prediction I also gave you the promise that I will shorten the days for the sake of the elect .... They will pass quickly but the hardship must first weigh heavily on you so that you will realize that the end is near .... You may never hope for improvement but you must humbly accept the adversity and join Me the more it weighs on you, then it will be worth more to you than the possession of earthly possessions which are without permanence and cannot follow you into eternity. "Come unto Me, ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest .... "Keep this promise, believe and trust Me, and every adversity will be bearable for you. Trustingly place your fate in My hand and it will guide you until the end of your life .... And no matter how stony the path is, it leads upwards, and in the end I am .... In the end the heavenly dwellings in your father's house await you, where no suffering oppresses you, where there is no hardship, where there is eternal peace and bliss, where your eyes will behold glories of which no human heart can imagine. Believe in My word and even in great adversity only recognize the confirmation of My word, for I have announced it to you and it must come true as My word as soon as the end is near. Therefore, only prepare yourselves for the end, drop all earthly worries, no longer create and work for earth but only for the spiritual kingdom, constantly make use of My strength and grace, remain in constant prayer, i.e. in constant contact with Me through thoughts and actions of love .... and you will not need to take a step without Me, you will have Me by your side as a constant guide, and no matter how thorny the path is, it will lead towards the right aim .... it leads into the father's house, it leads to Me, Who is your most loving father from eternity ....

Confessing Jesus and the act of Salvation ....

B.D. 3787 from June 1st 1946, taken from Book No. 48

There is a great risk that people will abandon their faith in Jesus Christ, the Son of God and Redeemer of the world, and yet people have to be subjected to this last test of faith, because it is decisive for eternity .... I Myself incarnated on this earth in Jesus Christ, I Myself accepted the crucifixion as a human being in order to open the gate into eternity for humanity .... But people lock this gate themselves, they do not accept My act of Salvation, they do not benefit from it. And therefore the gate will remain closed to them for eternity, a person who does not acknowledge Me cannot be acknowledged by Me to belong to Me either. He is not part of Me as long as he is still subject to My adversary’s influence, which remains in tact with those who do not acknowledge Me and My act of Salvation. Hence they separate themselves from Me and aspire towards the one whose will enslaved them and deprived them of all awareness. The end is near and with it the Last Judgment .... And once again I approach humanity as the Redeemer, I try to bring spiritual freedom, light and enlightenment to people and only want to be acknowledged in order to distribute the blessings of My act of Salvation to the souls, so that they will not perish when Judgment Day comes. I want to redeem them but they have to let themselves be redeemed of their own free will .... Thus they have to confess Me before the world as the One Whose strength and grace enables them to become blessed .... They have to believe that the Deity was in the man Jesus in all fullness, that His greater than great love motivated Him to suffer and die on behalf of His fellow human beings in order to avert eternal death from them, which is the irrevocable fate of everyone who does not believe in Him, who does not acknowledge His act of Salvation and does not claim the blessings He acquired through the crucifixion.

And people will have to confess this faith before the world, they will have to openly bear witness to the love of the God-man Jesus, because by making this testimony they stand by Me completely .... they will show the world that they are My children in truth who, raised by the love of the Father, also fulfil the Father’s will .... Thus this decision of faith has to be made, and it will be a difficult time for people who belong to Me and have to publicly acknowledge Me. But whoever has the will to do so also has the strength, which will be given to him in abundance, as I promised .... For I Myself Am with My Own, and My Own are those who strive towards Me, who aim to reach Me, Who call for Me in spirit and in truth, who live with love and endeavour to fulfil My will. And therefore they should not worry about the approaching battle of faith. It has to happen to people so that they seriously make up their mind about a problem which has found little attention so far .... They have to decide for or against Me, since anyone who acknowledges the Son also acknowledges the Father, and anyone who rejects the Son also rejects the Father. I, however, Am the One Who sacrificed Himself on behalf of humanity .... For I was in the human being Jesus in all fullness, I Myself descended to earth in order to redeem humanity from the sin of guilt and its consequences. Therefore, anyone who believes in Me cannot reject Jesus Christ, for He and I are One, and anyone who bears witness to Him bears witness to Me ....

"Create and work while it is still day .... "

B.D. 3788 from June 2nd 1946, taken from Book No. 48

Create and work while it is still day .... For for you who fail to do so, a night of endless duration will follow. All people still have the possibility of realisation, the light of day is still within reach, the darkness of spirit can still be broken through if only the human being has the will to do so; but then a time will come when the human being, i.e. the spiritual element within him, will be deprived of his free will and will have to languish in darkness (of spirit) for an endless time. And only those who long for the light escape this spiritual night, they enter the kingdom of light, they are in fullest knowledge, even though they still dwell on earth, for the light they once found will not go out but illuminate their spirit forever and ever. Create and work while it is still day .... But the day is drawing to a close .... And therefore I constantly send bearers of light towards people, and all who are of good will recognize them as My messengers and gratefully accept what I offer them .... Knowledge of the pure truth .... Light from the heavens .... Food and drink from the spiritual kingdom .... so that they can create and work diligently, so that they can gather spiritual riches through loving activity and thus increase their knowledge in the time of evening, in the time which is still granted to them until the end, until nightfall. Create and work with all diligence, for the time is no longer long. But in what alone do you create and work so as not to fall prey to the terror of the night? Only in obeying My commandment of love .... I have given you only one commandment .... that of love for Me and your neighbour, and if you obey this you will be eagerly active, as it is My will .... Then you create and work for your souls, if you create and work for your neighbour, if love for Me drives you to also love your neighbour, to help him physically and spiritually and thus to fulfil your original purpose .... to be active in love .... I only gave you one commandment, yet obeying this commandment results in all blessings, it shapes you into recipients of light, it makes you My children and thus My heirs who will one day be able to rule and reign in the father's house according to their will, which will then also be My will .... Create and work while it is still day .... For night comes according to the law from eternity for all who do not use the day according to My will .... Inactivity is death, and you can only live if you are restlessly active. But to live also means to be in knowledge, in light, for the latter is absolutely necessary for correct activity. And therefore I gave you free will so that you become active out of inner impulse, so that you do independent work, and I also gave you the ability to recognize which work corresponds to My will. I gave you the day so that you can make full use of it, so that you can escape the night and walk in the light forever. But anyone who does not use his free will in the right way, who ignores all activity, will be surprised by the night and will dwell in eternal darkness due to his own fault .... And more urgently than ever I exhort you to work for yourselves, for your souls .... For the law of eternity must be fulfilled, a night will follow the day, and anyone who has not saved himself from spiritual darkness into the kingdom of light will sink into the night of death again and will not be able to set himself free on his own. Therefore create and work while it is still day, for the night is coming when you will no longer be able to work ....

In order to be able to visualise this kingdom for you humans on earth, your spiritual vision has to be opened, and this requires a corresponding degree of maturity of the soul which, however, you can achieve with good will. Then you will be able to detach yourselves from earth and mentally lift yourselves into those spheres, you will be able to receive profound impressions and carry them back to earth, which are of greatest benefit for your ascent development. For the spiritual eye can see things which are invisible to the bodily eye, and the state of spiritual seeing is already blissful, for it is a state of maturity, the beholders are aspirants of the kingdom of light, otherwise the gift of spiritual seeing would be withheld from them. He is able to see incomparably glorious things and his soul thereby receives unmeasured strength and grace, yet it can only take back to earth a dreamlike experience, it will only be able to faintly and indistinctly reproduce what it was allowed to see spiritually. Nevertheless, the human being should strive to attain the degree of maturity which enables him to see spiritually, for once he has entered the kingdom of light in spirit the earthly world with all its dangers is completely invalidated and nothing can harm his soul anymore, for the forces of the kingdom of light hold it and never allow a decline in development. If the human being seriously struggles and strives, the beings of light will come to meet him and fetch his soul over into the spiritual kingdom, often unconsciously for the human being, until he has reached the degree that he can also detach himself from earth in a conscious state and the soul will ascend into the spheres of light. Then his bliss knows no bounds, for the glory of God will be revealed to him as far as his soul and body are able to grasp it. But few people reach that level on earth where they can consciously see and communicate what they see to their fellow human beings. Unconsciously, however, souls often dwell in the spiritual kingdom but are deprived of the memory of it when awake for the sake of their own salvation. For a too weak faith would certainly be strengthened by it, but by a kind of compulsion which is not beneficial for the soul. But as soon as faith is strong there is no danger for the soul, and what it has seen spiritually can remain in its memory so that it can bring it to the attention of fellow human beings. Seek to attain this strong faith, for it will provide you with further knowledge, knowledge about things which words alone are unable to explain, which are too immense to be accessible to people who are still imperfect and to whom words could certainly be conveyed but they would lack all understanding for them. But you could acquire this knowledge through strong faith and already be blissfully happy on earth, because then there will no longer be any doubt in you, because you will have complete clarity, because you will then be permeated by light yourselves, as soon as you have once entered spheres of light and can never ever fall back into darkness again ....

Great grace of direct communication of the divine word ....

B.D. 3790 from June 4th 1946, taken from Book No. 48

Recognize the great grace bestowed upon you through the direct supply of the divine word at a time when humanity desires the least gifts of grace. God has mercy on people and provides them with an extraordinary grace against their will which, however, can only become effective when they give up their resistance. But He constantly gives them the opportunity to make use of His gift of grace, and thus He Himself repeatedly approaches people so that they learn to recognize Him. This is an act of grace which is only comprehensible to you humans if you imagine the exceeding holiness of the One Who comes to you who languish in deepest sin. Only that which conforms to Him can come close to Him .... But God Himself comes to people who are distant from Him, He comes in the disguise of His word and seeks to move them through it to give up their resistance against Him and to change their nature, so that He becomes recognisable to them in all fullness of strength and grace and they consciously strive towards Him. The divine word is only recognized as such by those who seek Him; the others certainly hear it but it remains without effect as long as they themselves do not want it to become effective in them. Thus a treasure of grace is available to people in the word which they can raise through their own will, and this grace is the evidence of greater than great love for people who stand on the edge of the abyss and are heading towards eternal ruin. And in order to stimulate the will to accept His gift of grace He comes close to them once again through nature .... He expresses Himself in fullest strength and power, He speaks to them Himself through the elements of nature, so that they will then accept His word, which is offered to people from the heavens, without resistance .... Then it will not remain without effect, for then the human being's will will have become active itself and he will enter into the blessing of the divine gift of grace and his soul will be saved. But blessed are those who do not need this forcible admonition, who recognize His voice in the word conveyed to them through His servants on earth .... Blessed are those who already endeavour to live according to His word beforehand and approach Him in order to one day find complete union with the One Who Himself is the word from eternity ....

Rapture .... From all directions .... Gospel ....

B.D. 3791 from June 5th 1946, taken from Book No. 48

I will fetch My Own from all directions, from all countries on Earth at the end of days .... For wherever people dwell My Own are represented, who love Me and their neighbour with all their heart and due to this love recognise the true God, the Father of eternity, Who is love, wisdom and strength in Itself. And wherever people dwell My Own know that the time of the end has arrived, because anyone who lives in love is spiritually awake and therefore enlightened by Me as to what is about to happen. My Word can be heard everywhere, and it is offered to people from the kingdom of light and they receive it according to their ability .... they hear it as a spoken Word in their heart, they receive it mentally, they hear it through mediation by My enlightened servants on earth. And they will always recognise it as truth since they desire it and through their way of life, a way which corresponds to My commandment of love, make themselves worthy of being taught by Me. And thus the Gospel is proclaimed throughout the world, as I promised, for I Myself take care of My Own, I Myself provide them with that which is most needed and the most delectable that can be offered to them on earth.

Yet not one of them can be spared the battle of faith before the end, although it will happen in different ways .... they will have to profess Me to those who are without faith. They may not hide their activity of love, if it is required of them. They will be subject to tribulations for the sake of their faith before the end arrives. And all those who are awakened will be able to work within their circle, for unbelievers everywhere will confront My Own and trying to pull them over to their side shall be the endeavour of those who received the truth from Me, who became My Own through love .... And when hardship and tribulation appear to get intolerable I will come Myself and fetch My Own into My kingdom .... I will lift them in the flesh from this earth, which will require a complete transformation, and return them to the new earth again once the work of transformation has been accomplished. And people of all nations will praise My power and glory, for I will extend My hand to wherever people dwell to save those who are in utmost danger and reward them for their steadfastness of faith and their faithfulness towards Me .... And then the external shape of the earth will be destroyed before the eyes of all who oppose Me. And a new Earth will arise as it is proclaimed in Word and Scripture ....

Will to believe .... right prayer .... work of love ....

B.D. 3792 from June 6th 1946, taken from Book No. 48

All you little children who are weak in faith, commend yourselves in the spirit of My grace .... if you pray, ask Me to strengthen your faith. And your prayer will be answered. For if you ask, it will be given to you, if you call upon Me in spirit and in truth, you will receive what you need spiritually and also what your body needs for its preservation. And your faith will be strengthened because you are willing to believe and express this through your prayer. And a strong faith will make you free and happy, earthly adversity will not oppress you to the same extent as it does the faithless, because the strength of faith flows through you and makes you resistant to all adversity. I strengthen a weak faith, I revive a dead faith, and I can awaken faith in a faithless person, yet your devotion to Me must always precede it, the prayer to Me must ascend or a thought deeply felt in the heart expresses the desire for true faith, then I will become active and provide for the person according to his desire. And therefore everyone will be able to believe if only he is of serious will. He will be able to believe as soon as he lets his intellect and heart become active, as soon as he lets his feelings have their say and does not just listen to the expression of the intellect alone. If the human being wants to believe, then his heart will be moved by feelings which he should then pay attention to .... In a kind of weakness he will feel the need to lean on a strong Power, and he should comply with this feeling, he should give himself to this Power, which he feels involuntarily, which only wants to be acknowledged a little in order to take hold of the human being and never ever let him go. But the will must come from the human being himself .... And the human being will become faithful with My help, his initially weak faith will be strengthened, it will come alive as soon as the human being performs works of love, for then it will be easy for him to believe because he is already united with Me through love and can no longer reject Me .... Therefore, if you are weak in faith, practise love .... increase your activity of love and your strength of faith will grow, for the power of love is expressed in increased faith .... Awaken faith to life through works of love, and never again will you need to complain about weakness of faith, but your faith will become firm and unshakeable the more you fulfil My commandment of love .... And pray .... remain intimately united with Me through prayer, through thinking turned towards Me, so that I may take hold of you and never ever leave you out .... Pray your will and yourselves entirely to Me, and I will give you physical and spiritual consideration as is good for your soul ....

Amen

Course of the world event according to the development ....

B.D. 3793 from June 7th 1946, taken from Book No. 48

In accordance with spiritual development, world events also take their course, and thus chaos will also become ever greater because humanity is constantly regressing in its development. For it distances itself ever more from the pole of love and strives towards the opposite pole, which is completely devoid of love. And this must have an earthly effect in complete chaos, in complete disorder and thus in an unbearable existence for people, in earthly hardship, in lack of knowledge, error, wrong thinking and acting and finally complete ruin, because nothing can exist eternally in such disorder. And thus humanity is drifting towards its spiritual and physical downfall, and that is the end .... Where there is still an upward development the state of disorder will not be found to the same extent, yet the individual's life is also adapted to the general state on earth, it is only more bearable because he adheres to God and makes use of His help. But from a worldly point of view one event follows the other, always in accordance with people's degree of development, and since this development thus proceeds regressively, ever greater unkindness follows one another, i.e. earthly measures and decrees conjure up ever more disaster for people, suffering and hardship become ever greater, for humanity lives without God and can therefore only carry out those plans which God's adversary submits to it. And therefore no worldly improvement can be expected, for where improvement is striven for love must prevail, but this has grown cold and unkindness only gives birth to God-opposing things. And where improvement is evident, it is only at the expense of fellow human beings, who are thereby plunged into increased tribulation. satan's activity in the last days is openly visible and recognisable to anyone who wants to recognize .... And the time is approaching when his power will be broken for a long time. But before that God allows him full freedom, for the human will is turned towards him and increases his power on earth itself. And only those people who strive towards God in free will can escape his power because they are permeated by God's strength and clearly recognize the working of God's opposing power. Yet through world events all people can also recognize the one who is without love, and with an earnest will they can free themselves from him .... For God has placed the law of love in every person's heart and given people the intellect to clearly recognize when they sin against this divine law .... And therefore He also lets the great world events unfold in such a way that it can open people's eyes if they want to see .... And it is up to them to decide for the better or for the worse .... to love or to deeds of unkindness. Accordingly, his earthly life will also be more or less in order and also the degree of his realisation. And even the last end will not come as a surprise to him if he pays attention to the signs and world events which take their course according to humanity's will ....

Freedom of will .... Abandonment of development ....

B.D. 3794 from June 8th 1946, taken from Book No. 48

I allow the human will its freedom .... You can only understand what this means and why it cannot be otherwise when you are spiritually reborn, when you have knowledge of My eternal plan of Salvation, of the deliverance of the spirit substance which is not free. Not until then can you accept the necessity that people first have to transform themselves if they want to achieve a change in their circumstances, although I Am the Lord of heaven and earth and everything is only possible with My will or My permission. Depending on the human being’s attitude towards My eternal laws, depending on whether he integrates with or revolts against My eternal order, so shall be his fate on earth and in the spiritual kingdom, which he prepares for himself. I will never forcefully violate the human will, but I will try to encourage My living creations by various means to change their own will. And one of these means is the severe hardship visiting earth, although the people themselves initiate it, precisely because of their misguided will. For their own sake I have to let them rage if I don’t want to deny them the opportunity as free living creations to use their will in future for the right reason and to become perfect. That which has emerged from My strength was and continues to be divine and can never remain in a state of bondage, even if it has placed itself there of its own free will. But if I take away the human being’s free will, the living creature can never become free, it can never return to its original state because it can only regain this of its own volition. Or I have to take away all knowledge of its destiny from My created being and then guide it in accordance with My will .... But in that case it is a directed being which is still very distant from the Divinity. Thus, if it is to approach its original state it has to be given freedom of will and then it has to use its will in the right manner ....

For this purpose I gave him his life as a human being, I gave him the ability to think and to take action, and I will never eliminate his free will before the end of his probationary period on earth. But I have to constrain misused will anew for a long time and only return its freedom when it is again given the mercy to live embodied as a human being on earth and takes its last test of will once more. This has been the law since eternity which I cannot overturn because it would contradict My eternal law and completely deprive the being of its divinity, because whatever originates from Me eternally remains a part of Me, which is given the final objective to attain its original state for which free will is unavoidably necessary. And even if this free will brings forth actions of the most unashamed heartlessness I will not restrain it before its time and only use My will to restore order where the human free will is used to come closer to Me .... However, when the hour has come, which since eternity I have designated to be the end, My will shall terminate progressive or regressive development .... Only then a state of order will be established once more, which necessitates the constraint of the completely wrong will so that the deliverance of the bound spirit can start over again. For I will never cease to care for the spirit which emanated from Me and which apostatized from Me of its own volition, that it should regain its freedom, that it should reach its original state and one day become blessed ....

"Let Me take up residence in the heart .... "

B.D. 3795 from June 9th 1946, taken from Book No. 48

Let Me take abode in your hearts, let Me become effective in you and thus be in you with all strength .... This is your aim on earth, that you shape yourselves in such a way that nothing will prevent Me from dwelling with you and that, through unification with Me, you will become My children forever. However, you first have to remove everything impure from your hearts because I cannot dwell where there is filth, where My eternal order has not yet been established, which My living creations have overthrown through their own will. Only where there is order, where My law of eternity is observed, can I Myself be there and make you happy temporally and eternally. But My law of eternity demands love, and to walk without love also means to live in disorder which excludes My presence. Thus you must shape yourselves into love and you will fully and completely fulfil My will, and if you keep My commandments of love you will be pleasing to Me, I will approach you Myself, I will find a well-prepared dwelling place in your hearts and can take abode therein, and you may then constantly cultivate contact with Me .... You now carry My spirit within you, recognisable to yourselves, for you can always and constantly hear it. There is now no longer any separation between the spiritual spark which rests within you and the father-spirit of eternity, for you carry Me Myself in your heart, you have united yourselves with Me through love. All of you should try to reach this aim, let Me already take abode in your hearts on earth and you will already be blissfully happy on earth. For what My spirit offers you are treasures for eternity which will make you more happy than earthly possessions which you will no longer desire once you have accepted Me Myself into your hearts. My spirit guides you into all truth, My spirit gives you the power of realisation .... I Myself always and constantly teach you the highest wisdom, I give you food and drink and take over every care for your spiritual and physical well-being .... For now I am the Lord in My house, I rule and reign in you who have freely accepted Me into your heart, into My house, which I will never ever leave once you have offered it to Me as a dwelling and prepared it well. And My presence is now your bliss .... In My presence you will feel safe, I am a comforter to the forsaken, I am a protector to the anxious, I am a friend and brother to My Own, just as I am the most faithful father to all My children from eternity. And I constantly distribute gifts of grace, strength and light, as I have promised .... I consider My Own because they have given Me the right to care for them, because they have offered Me their hearts themselves and prepared them for reception through love. And thus My word comes true, for it is truth and will remain truth for all eternity ....

Winning the faith conditions the will of man ....

B.D. 3796 from June 10th 1946, taken from Book No. 48

Each one seeks to shape himself according to My will and desires strength and grace from Me .... Then his soul will be saved for eternity, for with his prayer to Me for strength and grace his will has become active, which is turned towards Me and which I now grasp and will never let sink back again. And therefore the directing of his thoughts towards Me is inevitably necessary, that is why he has to acknowledge Me first or he would not ask Me in his thoughts. And thus he must believe in Me .... that I am and have power and strength in order to be able to distribute it. Hence faith in a Being full of might and power is the first thing a person must possess if his soul is not to perish for eternity .... And everyone can gain this faith if only he seriously thinks about himself and his relationship to the whole of creation. As soon as he has to attribute meaning and purpose to everyone, even to the smallest work of creation, he will also not be able to deny the meaning and purpose of his own earthly existence, for this certainty will definitely come to him through serious reflection about himself, because I will meet everyone who only has the will to penetrate the truth. And once he has recognized his earthly existence as a means to achieve a specific aim, he will consciously pursue the aim himself, because faith will awaken in him in a Being Which created everything precisely for the sake of this aim, and he will then lean on this Being, he will enter into contact with It .... But the human being has to come this far on his own, he has to turn to Me of his own free will, but then I will seize him and draw him to Me, yet always taking his free will into account, because this is the law of eternity. The gift of intellect and the influence of spiritual beings of light are constant help to gain faith in Me, and if the human being's will does not resist, the human being's development will progress irrevocably, for faith will then drive him to prayer, to thoughts turned towards Me, and I can now provide him with abundant strength and grace. Anyone who has recognized the creation around him as meaningful and purposeful will also try to explain the earthly adversity to himself as purposeful, and he will also soon find the right answer to the mentally posed questions. For I enlighten every person's thinking who is of good will and seriously desires truth. And in adversity he will only find the confirmation of what he receives as a mental answer, the adversity will no longer be incomprehensible to him. And he himself will make an effort to live on earth in accordance with My will and to join Me ever more intimately, and he will never ever be without strength and grace. Yet all this is only brought about by his will, which must freely turn towards Me in order to be grasped and to find My constant support. But the will only becomes active when the human being has gained faith in Me as creator and Sustainer of everything that is .... And for the human being to gain this faith all means of help are at his disposal, for with his senses he can grasp and process what he sees and hears, and the end result has to be a convinced faith in a Being from Whom everything emerged, for I Myself gave the human being the ability to recognize this, yet he has to use it himself in free will ....

Right worship charity and mercy ....

B.D. 3797 from June 11th 1946, taken from Book No. 48

If you are charitable and merciful you serve Me in the most obvious way, for then you profess your affiliation to Me, Who is love Itself, as soon as you carry out works of love. Humanity is in great need, earthly and spiritually, and you should help everyone and try to alleviate the hardship. You shall give where your gifts are needed, you shall comfort and try to alleviate pain, and through spiritual encouragement you shall come to the aid of their souls, which suffer even more than the body .... You shall keep their hardship in mind and help where you can .... And you will not only reduce the earthly hardship but awaken love and thereby also remedy the spiritual hardship, for only love is an effective antidote for all spiritual and earthly hardship, and only through loving activity can it be successfully controlled. And that is why working with love is the only service of God which is pleasing to Me and which you can perform at any time, on any day and in any place. Wherever it is necessary for you to intervene helpfully, express your love there and My eye will rest favourably on you who thereby serve Me, who honour Me through every help you give to one of the least of your brothers .... For you are all My creatures, you are all children of one father, and if you love and honour your fellow human beings you also love and honour Me, and I accept your services which correspond to My will. And therefore all of you make an effort of true service, serve Me with deeds, not just with words or external gestures which do nothing to alleviate earthly or spiritual hardship. Seek to secure My closeness, My presence, through loving activity and know that you will then be able to accomplish much, full of strength, in order to remedy earthly and spiritual hardship. For then it is I Who works through you, because you draw Me to you through loving activity and I can now visibly support you. You will always be offered the opportunity to be lovingly active, for the hardship around you urgently calls for help, and if you lift up the needy and help them spiritually and earthly you will follow Me .... you walk the path of love I have shown you, you live true christianity, you follow My teaching of love and you will also experience the blessings as I have promised you .... you will inherit My kingdom which is not of this world, for love redeems you from all sins, it sets you free and leads you to unity with Me, Who is the eternal Love Myself ....

Spiritual compulsion detrimental to the soul ....

B.D. 3798 from June 12th 1946, taken from Book No. 48

No spiritual coercion may be exerted on a person if he is to be able to become perfect on earth. And therefore the word of God can only ever be brought to him, to which he then has to respond of his own free will. He should only know about the commandment of love, yet every other commandment impairs his free will and is therefore not a blessing for the soul's ascent development. If the human being deals with this divine commandment of love then his will will also start to become active as soon as he accepts this commandment. Then his thinking and acting is free, it corresponds to the direction of his will for or against God, and every action is now evaluated by God according to this will. But if the slightest coercion is exerted, if the human being is induced to certain actions by commandments, they nevertheless remain without deeper value before God as soon as they are the effects of those commandments but not of the human being's freest will. And this is a use of vitality without any blessing for the soul. You humans must distinguish between the spiritual being's original purpose and its completely powerless state at the time of its life on earth .... And you must know that this was only the result of your own wrong will. Understandably, the original state has to be striven for and achieved again in completely free will, which eliminates every must-law during the last stage as a human being. Now man can be shown the way through the commandment of love for God and neighbour. And this commandment is also only to be given to him in the form of divine teaching, which is to be brought to him as God's word and now demands his own freest opinion on it. He should by no means feel compelled to do so through punishment or the promise of reward, only the effect of a life of love or a life of unkindness should be held up to him so that his own sense of responsibility towards his soul will be awakened. But this does not mean compulsion for the human being's soul, for as long as he does not seriously turn his will towards God he also lacks faith in everything, in God, in a continuation of the soul and in responsibility after his death .... And as long as any spiritual enlightenment means no compulsion of faith, no curtailing of free will .... Nevertheless, he can practise love of his own accord, and thereby he will enter the state of weak realisation and now also seriously take a stand on the word of God .... and this of completely free will. Every spiritual compulsion must be eliminated, for it is only detrimental to the human being's soul. But the teaching of Christ is to be spread diligently, and those of good will will accept it and arrange their lives accordingly. They will strive upwards and gain God's pleasure because their will has freely inclined towards Him and this alone will be judged ....

Satan’s bondage ....

B.D. 3799 from June 13th 1946, taken from Book No. 48

You are enslaved by Satan as long as you do not resist and fight him yourselves which, however, you are able to do successfully as long as you are willing to free yourselves from his bondage. He is My adversary, he tries to gain what emerged from My strength, what has belonged to Me since eternity. I also fight for this spiritual essence but I leave it to the soul itself whom it wants to acknowledge. I do not prevent the soul from striving towards My adversary, I only ever confront it with My love in order to arouse its desire to turn to Me of its own accord. But whatever wants to be free from him, whatever strives towards Me, will infallibly be seized by and drawn to Me .... And therefore, every fight against My adversary, every will to separate from him will be successful, for now I will fight with the person at the same time, I will stand by his side and the adversary will be defeated, because the person’s will has chosen Me. But prior to this the human being is held captive, his soul is oppressed, it complies with Satan’s will because he is the lord to whom it willingly succumbs.

Satan’s every ambition is contrary to My eternal order. Hence, the human being enslaved by him cannot live in order either unless he establishes a worldly order to ensure his worldly well-being with help of the strength from below, while his soul lives in darkest disorder, entirely without love and therefore entirely without strength from Me. For as long as the human being still lives on earth Satan will try to tempt him with earthly possessions and also grant him fulfilment as soon as the person complies with his will, as soon as his heartlessness proves his affiliation with Satan. And yet he is a servant of the one who seemingly provides him with earthly favours, for he will pull him into utmost darkness as soon as he leaves his physical cover, and his soul will suffer most bitter distress .... Nevertheless, it is not treated unjustly, given that its very own will on earth could also have made its decision for Me, for time and again I approach the soul warning and reminding it, and try to draw it towards Me. The will, however, is the decisive factor and if it is inclined towards Me I shall give the soul the strength to liberate itself from this force, for My power is great but it requires the human being’s will.

And every human being is able to want Me to seize him, every human being is able to use his will in the right way since My adversary cannot compel the will, because I defeated this power through My crucifixion. Consequently, the human being has to acknowledge Me as Redeemer of the world and appeal for My reinforcement of will for the sake of Jesus .... and My adversary has lost his power over Him .... But anyone who rejects Me completely will continue to live in acute bondage and will find releasing himself from it extremely difficult. However, I will also fight for these souls. Time and again I approach them in the Word and refer them to My act of Salvation, because I want to regain them and will also achieve this one day, albeit it can take an infinite time until the being’s will turns to Me of its own accord. However, deliverance from Satan’s bondage cannot take place outside of My eternal order, and therefore the human being’s will has to desire it of its own accord and choose Me, but then he will receive every assistance .... and he will become free ....

God as giver of truth ....

B.D. 3800 from June 14th 1946, taken from Book No. 48

To research divine truth means to unconditionally surrender oneself to the eternal truth Itself, to make contact with It through loving activity and then to let It flow through one's being .... to accept the eternal truth within oneself, which now flows to the human being through the spirit .... This is a process which is completely incomprehensible to the earthly-minded person and will therefore only meet with his rejection, with unbelief, but which is something self-evident to everyone who has penetrated spiritual knowledge and thus has already entered into contact with the Giver of truth. For this reason, worldly study, even if it concerns spiritual teachings, can never introduce the human being to divine truth so that it is fully comprehensible to him, for it remains intellectual knowledge as long as the prerequisites are not present which guarantee the deepest understanding of it .... unselfish activity of love, most intimate union with God and deepest desire for knowledge of pure truth .... Then the knowledge received from outside will also come alive in the heart, for then the spirit in the human being will explain it to himself, and only then will it be of value to the human being as spiritual property. And therefore only those people are called to spread the pure truth from God who have acquired the truth on this path shown to them by God, for they alone will be able to explain it to their fellow human beings in a true-to-life and comprehensible way, but not people who have not penetrated deeply enough themselves, who have not fulfilled all conditions which result in high knowledge. They must all be taught by God .... God's spirit must first be able to work in the human being before pure truth is accessible to him .... God as the eternal truth Himself must be at work, He must illuminate the human being's spirit through His spirit, He must flow through him with His spiritual strength so that the truth from God can now be directly received by the human being and he becomes knowledgeable. As long as this process is incomprehensible to people they are outside of faith and love, for faith and love already provide them with the power of realisation, faith and love already awaken the spiritual spark which rests in the human being. But where faith and love are missing, there is no connection with God and thus also His working is not possible, if the human being is not to be restricted in his freedom of will. And where faith and love are lacking spiritual knowledge can never be acquired through intellectual thinking, it cannot be transferred from person to person and correspond to the truth, for the latter presupposes God's cooperation, Who is the eternal Truth Himself ....

Direction of will determines the influence of spiritual powers ....

Any spirit you turn to will have power over you. Your own thoughts and will determine the powers who approach and gain influence over you .... But your thoughts and will are supported by spiritual powers at all times, for you are fought over in the spiritual kingdom, whilst good as well as evil powers attempt to win you over. However, you yourselves decide who will conquer your souls. And thus you bear a great responsibility for your soul, for your will determines its fate in eternity.

As soon as your will is good and righteous the opposing powers will lose control over you, then the powers of light will stand by your side which will render the former powerless. But if you voluntarily turn to those powers through heartlessness and unjust thoughts and actions, then the beings of light will withdraw from you as they will not be able to influence you against your will, and you will be completely at the mercy of the former, who will push you ever deeper into ruin, confuse your thoughts entirely and impel you into God-opposing actions. And, therefore, take care of your thoughts, stay alert that they do not go astray, coerce your will into the right direction yourselves and know that you shall always find support as soon as you allow even the slightest notion of will for good to arise in you. You are too weak by yourselves and spiritual powers are always willing to assist you. Yet you yourselves have to give them the right to help you because, according to divine law which safeguards freedom of will, they may not act in opposition to your will.

However, the opposing power is likewise unable to force your will into evil actions and thoughts. They, too, can only become effective when you deliver yourselves to them through wrong direction of will. Use your will correctly, only aspire towards good, be just in your thoughts and actions, and turn your will towards God .... And you will experience a noticeable strengthening of your soul, you will gladly do labours of love, you will affirm what is good and abhor evil, for then you will receive the strength to put your will into practice. Through love you will also grow in awareness, you will acknowledge Jesus Christ, the divine Redeemer, as the epitome of love, and you will never turn away from Him again but become strengthened through His mercy, because all good spirits struggle to eternally gain you for God’s kingdom .... Just use your will correctly and success will be yours. Remove yourselves from the spiritual powers who want to corrupt you by using your will correctly .... Strive towards God, towards good, and live within love .... And you will also be released from all responsibility, since from the moment of your correct direction of will you will be subject to the influence of radiant spiritual beings and will be able to entrust yourselves to them without worry. Strive for God and you will reach Him, you will find unity with Him on earth or one day in eternity, because your will shall have made its decision for Him in complete freedom ....

Amen

Reassuring advice to have faith ....

B.D. 3802 from June 16th 1946, taken from Book No. 48

You are so timid and fearful and yet could be so strong with firm faith in Me and My willingness to help .... Nothing is impossible, for My power accomplishes everything, and even seemingly impossible help can be granted to you if only you have faith. And therefore you need not be deterred by anything, you need not let hardship nor worry discourage you once you hand them over to Me in firm belief of My love and omnipotence .... Then I will help you and even solve the most difficult earthly problem .... For I will not leave My Own and will be their helper in every adversity and peril. Where else should My love and power express Itself, if not to those who strive towards Me of their own accord, and with the love of a child put their trust in the Father to help them in every hardship? .... Where else should the strength of faith be applied if not to those who are My true children, because they acknowledge and love Me and always try to fulfil My will?

When you speak of God’s greater than great love, then it will surely extend to His living creations, for love takes hold of everything and desires unification. And thus, the Father’s heart, too, moves towards His children and wants to give them unlimited love in order to please them now and eternally. The Father’s love expresses itself in never-ending helpfulness, in keeping every danger at bay, in giving the child profound wisdom and knowledge .... But the child has to accept its Father’s gifts without resistance, then it will mature and hold on to its Father with heartfelt love and be indescribably happy.

Would you then be able to experience any kind of adversity that could not be averted by the Father? Hence you should totally trust in Me and not become fearful when you are approached by hardship due to My permission or My will ....

I want to test and fortify your faith so that it will become increasingly more steadfast, and the less you fail the closer I will be to you, for I will never leave you again once you have found Me. And whatever happens, it will be good for you, for you truly do not recognise the urgency and purpose of your earthly fate. But I know how you can be helped best, and you can unreservedly trust in My guidance, you need not fear for a moment but always just take refuge in My love which will never be withdrawn from you again. Believe firmly and steadfastly that I will help you .... and My help will not fail to materialise, so that you will clearly recognise the strength of faith, so that you will feel Me and My activity, and as My children join Me ever more intimately until nothing will be able to separate you from the Father’s heart, no matter what goes on around you .... And therefore you can look forward to every day with complete confidence, and you should even believe firmly when you sense great unrest around you, for you will banish every threatening adversity through your faith, as I have promised, that strength of faith will be able to do everything .... that nothing is impossible for God ....

Amen

Subordination of the will .... supernatural power ....

B.D. 3803 from June 17th 1946, taken from Book No. 48

A supernatural power is at your disposal if you make My will your own. Then I will work in you and truly do things which go beyond your natural ability. But what must your will be like so that it completely conforms to Mine? .... You may no longer want anything which contradicts My law of eternity, which is contrary to divine order, which alone carries My will within it .... Hence you must at all times make My will your concern, you must always do what I require of you, i.e. fulfil My commandment of love .... For love underlies My law from eternity, love moves My will, love is My fundamental substance, love is the strength which sustains everything .... and My will can only ever be to make the law of love its fundamental principle, but then you will also be in full possession of the strength from Me, Who is love in Himself. And then you will also be able to work without limitation, you will be able to accomplish things which are purely humanly impossible but which can be accomplished with the strength of love by every person who has placed himself under My law. Therefore try to change your nature completely into love and then nothing will be unattainable for your activity. You will be able to command people and animals, the elements of nature, for then it will always be My will which moves you, and nothing is impossible for My will and My strength. Then you will also be relieved of all responsibility, for as soon as My will controls you, because you have voluntarily submitted yourselves to Me, you will act in accordance with it, and whatever you do now must be right and pleasing to Me. And thus you can already be exceedingly powerful on earth, because you may appropriate My power at any time if you are of the same will as Me, and then you will be urged by the spirit within you to think and act in this or that way. And you will be able to do what you want, for then you will think and act with Me and with My strength. You will be able to avert suffering and adversity if love drives you to help your fellow human being, and you will be able to command the elements, heal the sick and work miracles of all kinds, for it is only My strength which then expresses itself through you, and with My strength nothing is impossible for you. Thus I want your will to be completely subordinate to Mine so that you will then be able to want nothing else but Me and I can then work through you ....

Amen

Vigilance against the enemy of souls ....

B.D. 3804 from June 18th 1946, taken from Book No. 48

You should be vigilant that you don't fall prey to the enemy of your souls, for he is constantly intent on leading you astray and pushing you away from the right path through all kinds of deceptive means. He also comes in the guise of a leader and thus seeks to gain your trust; he promises to lead you safely to the aim, yet his aim is the world .... thus he promises you earthly advantages, help in earthly distress, he seeks to pave the way for you, yet all on one condition .... to leave your soul to him, thus to detach your senses and thoughts from God, from spiritual striving. And all his promises will demand deeds of unkindness; every person who wants to create earthly advantages for himself will not be able to do so if he wants to live in love. Thus he has to give up one or the other, he has to know that he will sell his soul if he wants to shape his earthly life into a life of well-being .... He must know that every attempt to do so is made at the instigation of the one who wants to corrupt the soul. And he must be vigilant .... he must take refuge in God that He may protect him from the enemy's influence, he must ask for the strengthening of his will for good and for the renunciation of earthly goods .... For what do you exchange if you also create for yourselves an earthly life in prosperity and comfort? Only an unbearable fate for the soul in the kingdom of the beyond. For if the time of adversity comes upon you it will also have its wise meaning and purpose as long as it is permitted by God Himself. But the enemy of your soul pulls the lever precisely in the time of need .... he tries to direct your thoughts and aspirations towards what you lack in earthly goods, he tries to increase your greed for them and capture your thoughts, and only the strength of your will protects you from this. For what he promises is only deception, it will only benefit you for the few days of your earthly life in order to then sink into nothingness and leave your souls in utmost poverty. Voluntarily renounce that which only makes the body happy but is of no use to the soul, live on earth in physical poverty and in return provide your souls with spiritual possessions which are everlasting and will follow you into eternity. Be vigilant against all temptations and remain in prayer. Ask for strength and grace and the strengthening of your will. And your desire will diminish, earthly goods will no longer seem so tempting to you, you will be able to resist all whisperings of the enemy and be able to accept spiritual possessions as compensation, which will make your souls a thousand times happier because they will bring you eternal life ....

Amen

Spiritual low level .... The end of a Salvation period ....

B.D. 3805 from June 19th 1946, taken from Book No. 48

No spiritual progress can ever be expected if humanity's spiritual level is so low that it no longer recognises and acknowledges God. For then it is completely separate from God and thus also without the flow of strength which guarantees its spiritual progress. A short distance to God can easily be remedied, for then the soul will still move within the cycle of the divine flow of love, the strength of which will infallibly impel it to progress. But if the distance has become so great that the spiritual essence is beyond this cycle then it will also be entirely without strength and no longer able to approach God, since the opposing force will then have greater influence and pull it down to itself. But once humanity has reached this degree of development, that is, once it has regressed to this extent, it will also have forfeited its right to exist on earth as human beings, as this is solely for the purpose of higher development and it will have totally disregarded this purpose. Thus the developmental period for this human race will then come to an end. The earth will effectively repel all spiritual essence in the stage of higher development as soon as it no longer lives and acts in line with this stage of development. And this is the end of a period of redemption in accordance with divine will .... And every person can know the moment in time himself as long as he pays attention to the whole of humanity's spiritual development.

Once the lowest spiritual point has been reached when the heartlessness becomes plainly evident, the activity of the opposing force can be recognised by the fact that instead of constant progress there will be destruction everywhere .... once people's lives and activities are totally in opposition to God and thus against all divine order, it is no longer to be expected that humanity will voluntarily integrate with divine order again and then, according to eternal law, a disintegration of everything sheltering spiritual substances will have to take place for

the purpose of a completely new banishment, so that after an infinitely long time the goal to live voluntarily in the proximity of God can be reached yet again.

There is no other opportunity of ascent for a degenerated human race once it has reached the lowest point when all love has grown cold, since then the strengthening flow of divine love can no longer be effective and this signifies a total obedience to God's opponent. Yet God, in His great mercy, will seize from His adversary what has become enslaved by him by banishing it into the creations again, which are outside the adversary's influence. Hence, even the return into hardest matter is but a work of divine mercy, since it creates a new opportunity for those spiritual substances furthest away from God to take the path of higher development again, which was no longer possible as a human being.

And one day the hour of salvation will come to him too, if only after an endless time. Yet he will not be treated unjustly by being returned into solid matter, for his will is so hardened towards God that he provides the reason himself for being bound by God for an infinitely long time. For he will not change anymore once the spiritual low level has been reached when people no longer recognise God ....

Amen

God comes Himself to the people in the word ....

B.D. 3806 from June 20th 1946, taken from Book No. 48

He who dwells in the midst of you in spirit listens to Him when He speaks to you. He makes Himself known to you in such a way that you will be able to recognize Him if you believe, for His words of love sound no different than the words He Himself spoke on earth in the shell of the human being Jesus. It is the same teaching which is now conveyed to you through His obvious working through the mouth of a human being; He uses a human cover in order to speak to you through it and to make the ever and eternally constant teaching accessible to you. And His word is truly recognisable as being of divine origin, for it only teaches love, which only divinely directed beings represent, because love is God's direct emanation and draws to itself what is in love again. And thus, if a teaching has the commandment of love as its content, if it wants to educate the human being to love, it also originates from the One Who is eternal love Himself .... But if this teaching of love is conveyed to people in such a way that spiritual strength is recognisable, that the transmission takes place spiritually, then God Himself must absolutely be acknowledged as the source where the strength originates, and faith in it must also increase the effectiveness of what originates from God. Accept His word as God's word and you will draw undreamt-of blessings from it, for then it will strengthen you earthly and spiritually because you consciously accept the divine emanation of love. He Himself is with you in the word .... consider this in your heart and faithfully surrender yourselves to His effect of grace .... He teaches you Himself, He informs you of His will, of your destiny, He shows you the right path, He gives you promises and encourages you to live in such a way that His promises to you will be fulfilled; He draws you to Himself with every word, He courts your love and thus constantly endeavours to lead you over into His kingdom in order to make you eternally happy. He is obviously active amongst His Own, yet in order to recognize Him you must believe in His love, wisdom and omnipotence .... in Himself, that He is and that you are His creatures which can never be separated from Him .... Then you will also be able to assess the value of the gift of grace as far as this is possible on earth .... And His word will become effective in you, it will awaken you to life, which you will never lose and thus be blessed for eternity ....

Amen

Deepest knowledge attainable through love ....

B.D. 3807 from June 21st 1946, taken from Book No. 48

All areas will be opened up to you if you strive to explore them on the path of love. Then there will be no limits to your knowledge, for these are only set for the human being's intellect but not for the heart, which can receive the widest knowledge from the spirit within itself without restriction. For this is the sign of perfection, that it is unlimited .... Therefore, if the spirit from God is active in you, His working must also be unlimited as soon as you yourselves have removed the obstacles which make His working impossible. And nothing is alien to the spirit from God, He controls all areas, and thus the human being penetrates the deepest knowledge through his spirit as soon as he has shaped himself through love into a receptacle for the divine spirit. God is intimately united with His living creations if they do not resist Him, and thus His strength and His light must also shine through what dwells close to Him. And that means brightest insight into God's reign and activity, knowledge of the plan of salvation, of the meaning and purpose of earthly life and the destiny of God's created beings. And if the human being is informed of this by the divine spirit, every other connection will also be clear to him, his knowledge will expand in every direction, there will be no more darkness, no more ignorance for him, and through his will he will become free from the bondage of the one who is to blame for all darkness of spirit. But only when the human being has received the knowledge of the spirit within himself can he lay claim to being knowledgeable in truth .... Although the human being can also acquire worldly knowledge by studying or receiving it from outside, this knowledge is irrelevant for eternity, for it disappears at the moment of death and does not follow the soul into the spiritual kingdom. Only spiritual knowledge is valuable, which has little bearing on earthly things but concerns the spiritual world and is therefore everlasting. And this knowledge can only be attained on the path of love if it is to correspond to truth and promote the soul's ascent development. And the human being lives on earth in order to acquire this knowledge, for the possession of knowledge is the result of a right way of life which consists of a life of love. God's love constantly seeks to impart a rich treasure of knowledge to people by instructing people Himself through His right servants on earth. And His word will always preach love first, it will point people to the path of love so that the human being will then also attain wisdom from God .... For to be instructed in truth is the most precious thing for people as long as they live on earth. For then they will also recognize their destiny, they will recognize God's greater than great love and try to conform to it. But only pure truth achieves the state of recognition, and therefore only pure truth leads to God, Who is truth Himself. Truth, love and God are one .... where love is, God Himself will work as a teacher and introduce people to truth .... where truth is, God will be recognized as the eternal love and union with Him will be sought, and the striving for Him will lead to perfection, which is the aim of every being that emerged from God in all perfection and became imperfect through its own will .... Therefore awaken the spirit within you through love and you will be able to penetrate the deepest depths of divine wisdom, as God has promised you ....

Amen

Dwellings in the father's house .... eternal home ....

B.D. 3808 from June 22nd 1946, taken from Book No. 48

And I will introduce you into My father's house .... If I have given you this promise, you may be blissfully happy in the knowledge that one day you will enjoy the delights of eternal life as children of God, for My word is truth and My promise will be fulfilled if you comply with My will .... All adversity will come to an end for you, every earthly worry will fall away, and in freedom of spirit, unbound by earthly matter, you will be allowed to dwell in those realms which belong to the kingdom of the blessed spirits and are exceedingly glorious. On earth you cannot grasp the bliss which is granted to the souls in that kingdom, and yet you should believe My word and live such that you will be able to move into the father's heavenly dwellings after your death on this earth .... the dwellings which the father's love has prepared for His Own and which will truly be the abode of those who have become Mine through their will and a way of life in love .... Why then do you still worry about your physical well-being if you know that your earthly life is only a short transition to true life in eternity? Only use your earthly life for the right shaping of your souls, and your fate in the beyond will be incomparably blissful, for you will be given everything your heart desires .... But make sure that your heart's desire is not for the body, for the body will pass away, but what remains eternally is only spiritual good, and desire this with all your heart. Then your soul will dwell in exceedingly beautiful surroundings, it will move in creations which you are unable to imagine on earth, and it will be in its home, in the father's house, where the father's nearness makes it infinitely happy and His love provides it with everything which increases its bliss. For My love for you, My children on earth, is exceedingly great, and I prepare a blissful life for all of you if you return to Me of your own free will. For there are many dwellings in My house and they are all waiting for you to occupy them and to be able to behold My glories which I have prepared for you. Live on earth in love and My love will be granted to you in the spiritual kingdom .... Give to your neighbour in love what he needs physically or spiritually, and My love will give to you in the same measure, for as you measure out, so will it be measured out to you in My kingdom. And believe in My promise, then the short earthly life you are still granted will be bearable for you despite all adversity, for whatever is taken from you on earth .... I will give you a thousandfold in My kingdom if you voluntarily devote yourselves and thus detach yourselves from matter in order to receive spiritual good .... For the time of your earthly adversity is short, but your life in eternity will last forever, and there will be no end to your bliss in My father's house ....

Spiritual guides .... earthpath .... guideposts ....

B.D. 3809 from June 23rd 1946, taken from Book No. 48

People who do not know the right way stray and move away from the right aim instead of approaching it. And therefore they need a good guide, a signpost who knows the right way and warns them and urges them to pay attention wherever there is a danger of turning into a wrong path and missing the right way. But anyone who knows the way also knows the aim and will then eagerly help his fellow human beings to reach this aim as well .... But the aim of earthly life is the spiritual kingdom in all its glory .... And the path to this is arduous and narrow, it is not easily passable but short if it is covered without stopping, if the human being does not hesitate or constantly looks back and seeks an easier passable path .... Then the aim can be reached quickly, i.e. the human being can still reach a degree of perfection on earth that he carries the kingdom of God within himself, that the heaviness of earth no longer oppresses him, that he has found union with God before he is rid of his earthly body. But then vast realms will spread out before his spiritual eye which will fill him with bliss, then all events and hardships of the path will be forgotten, for they will not outweigh the glories which are now granted to him. And then the soul will be grateful to the guidance which looked after it on the earthly path .... But the right guidance is God Himself Who instructs people on earth through His word and thus informs them of the right path which leads to Him. And He instructs willing servants on earth to take over the office of guidance, that is, to bring His word to people, He first instructs His servants in the right truth so that they will then act as mediators for their fellow human beings so that they, too, will take notice of the truth, of God's word, which flows from His sanctified mouth and is conveyed by Him directly to earth through His messengers. And therefore guides who know the right way will constantly appear along the path and guide the wayfarers correctly, informing them of the dangers they should be aware of, of the aim and of the strength from God which is available to everyone who travels the path with the serious intention of reaching the aim, which is eternal beatitude. And these guides are to be listened to, their advice and admonitions are to be heeded, for they are appointed by God, they are given to people so that they will not go astray, so that they cannot say they have not found the right path but can enter and follow it at any time if they are of serious will to reach the aim. These leaders proclaim to you the word of God, which is the right way .... For the word of God is truth, because God is the eternal truth Himself; it leads towards the aim .... the eternal life .... and whoever chooses God Himself as his guide by accepting and obeying the divine word can never fail to take the right path, he will reach his aim .... he will live for eternity ....

Time of trouble ....

B.D. 3810 from June 24th 1946, taken from Book No. 48

Very soon you will be subject to further hardship, you will experience adversities which will almost seem to crush you; but then you should know that I will be closer to you than ever. Hand yourselves over to My guidance completely and remain true to Me in your hearts, so that you will recognise and profess Me in spite of all the hardship, then I will truly not leave you and you can utterly believe My Word. Nevertheless, the adversity must happen so that what is written will come true, so that the time of immense affliction is apparent to every person and can also be recognised as the last stage before the end .... The world does not want to regulate the earthly situation amicably, instead, it incites renewed struggles and wars between the nations, thus global events will enter into a new phase for a short period of time. The renewed tension between the nations will result in immense earthly adversity which My will shall bring to an end when the time is right. Yet you, My Own, need not fear this time of adversity, although it will affect you as well in various ways. For you it only signifies a test of faith again which you can pass if you join Me more firmly than ever and confidently hand yourselves over to My guidance and help. That which will happen very shortly will prove My Word to you, and then you should only abide by Me and I will help you in every adversity and danger. For everything can be overcome with My help, nothing is impossible for My strength and power, and no prayer will be left unanswered if you believe in Me and call upon Me from the bottom of your heart. You humans must live through this short phase so that your soul will derive benefit from it, and although it will be brought to a halt through My intervention it will be followed by a different tribulation. It is the time of adversity before the end and good for him who recognises it as the time of the end .... He will draw comfort and hope from every one of My Words, he will not despair but unite with Me in even more sincerity than ever and endure all earthly adversities and dangers without harm to his soul because I Myself will take him by his hand and guide him, and provide him with strength and light ....

End of tribulation .... judgment .... new earth ....

B.D. 3811 from June 25th 1946, taken from Book No. 48

Yet the time of tribulation will also pass and be followed by a time of deepest peace and heavenly bliss for all who believe in Me and remain faithful to Me until the end. And just as the time of adversity has come upon the earth, My promise of the time of peace is also true, for My word is eternal truth, and it has to come true, a time has to follow again where there is no longer a spiritual low and therefore all earthly adversity is eliminated, where people live in closest union with God and are therefore also happy. But first a sifting has to take place which began with the great adversity and continues in the time of tribulation where people have to decide for Me or My adversary. And only an exceedingly great tribulation will bring this about, for people have become hardened and faithless and need the most severe means of education for the purpose of improvement. But even this time will come to an end and that shall be a comfort to My Own that I will shorten the days so that My Own will not fall away from Me in the time of greatest distress. A blessed fate awaits them on the new earth .... And those who believe in My word will find strength in this promise and withstand every onslaught of the world. For I will not leave My Own and will come to fetch them Myself when the height of adversity has been reached. With My strength and grace even the most difficult days can be endured, but the reward is certain for you .... a blissful, peaceful life after this time of tribulation, where you will praise and glorify Me, where you will thank Me from the bottom of your heart, where I will dwell with you Myself visibly and tangibly because you are full of love. Therefore, don't fear the time of tribulation, bear it in view of the end, accept it humbly, for it can still mean salvation for the lost souls and spare them the repeated earthly journey through the whole of creation. And recognize the truth of My word from everything that still comes upon earth, for I have long predicted it so that you should become firmer in faith, so that you can prepare yourselves for it and thus mature spiritually. Recognize My love, even though people will be painfully affected by My will or My permission .... For your souls this time of need is of great urgency, yet it will pass, it will not last long for the sake of My Own .... it must give way to a time of most delicious peace on the new earth, which will be enjoyed by all who are Mine and remain faithful to Me until the end ....

Complete devotion to God .... tool ....

B.D. 3812 from June 26th 1946, taken from Book No. 48

In the most complete devotion to Me you will also find deepest peace .... For then all power will have lost its hold on you, be it people or spiritual beings who have turned their will away from Me. And all good spiritual beings turned towards Me will not oppress you but can only make you happy. Complete devotion to Me is the manifestation of fullest submission to My will, and then only one will will control you, and this will originates from Me, and thus you can only live in the right order, i.e. you can only think and act, which will always bring you the most inner peace. Then the change of your will will have taken place on earth, you are no longer opposed to Me but united with Me and therefore can no longer fall back into the state of disorder, which is a state of torment for you, a state of inner turmoil, fear and lack of strength. What fully surrenders to Me I take hold of and carefully guide it further on the path it has taken .... The complete surrender to Me is a sign of profound faith, an acknowledgement of Me as the most loving strength and power, to Whom the human being now trustingly hands himself over. And I need such faith in order to approach fellow human beings through this person, otherwise a revelation to them would be impossible as long as they don't have the maturity to receive revelations themselves. I can now use a person who is completely devoted to Me as My instrument, as My organ through which I want to express Myself. For I will no longer find resistance to My working in him, and because he is now of the same will as Me he will speak and act according to My will, as a human being he will convey to his fellow human beings what I, as God, want to convey to them but cannot obviously do so in order not to prevent the human being's freedom of faith. Nevertheless, it is My working, although it appears to fellow human beings as the working of My servant on earth. Through devotion to Me he has become a suitable instrument for Me and will now fulfil his task with joy and eagerness, he will be driven by My spirit to speak and work for Me and My kingdom. The human being must have completely relinquished his own will, he must completely hand himself over to Me, entrust himself to My guidance and constantly desire My presence, he must remain mentally united with Me and I seize him, and all his thoughts and actions are now My will, My strength and the expression of My love for fellow human beings to whom I want to bring salvation through him in spiritual adversity. He has now become the mediator between Me and them, and his activity will bring him deepest peace, for he now carries My will within himself and works and creates with Me through My strength ....

Destiny according to the will ....

B.D. 3813 from June 27th 1946, taken from Book No. 48

The fact that you are in adversity and distress of body and soul is not hidden from My knowledge, but neither is your spiritual direction, your heart's will for good or evil. And this determines the course of your life, it determines the events which fatefully approach you, it also determines the effect of your fellow human beings' actions carried out in evil will, as well as My intervention according to My will. For I seek to remedy the soul's adversity, I seek to bring it salvation, because I know about the consequences of spiritual adversity in eternity, about the lightless state which causes the soul far greater agony than the greatest earthly adversity. If the human being's will is good then the soul will need less harsh means of education and its course of life will not show such great trials if it is granted a certain time to mature. But at the end of this redemption epoch many souls will only have to pass a short test of life, and understandably this will be more difficult due to its brevity, so that the soul will reach maturity at the end. This is the result of their long opposition to Me which did not allow them to embody themselves on earth earlier; and since the end of this redemption period is determined according to My plan of eternity, the time granted to the last people for embodiment will become ever shorter and correspondingly more difficult. Yet the final aim is the same and can be achieved by every soul with serious striving for perfection. Yet these souls embodied in the last people of this earth also carry different wills within themselves, partly turned towards Me, partly turned away from Me, and this difference of will also determines the different fates of life and the effect of the deeds which the will gives birth to. People will have to bear the heaviest suffering and threaten to break as a result, and yet people can also live amongst them who are full of strength and who do not find the suffering unbearable .... For I Myself determine the severity of suffering, the harshness of adversity, according to people's will, which I know and try to change precisely through this adversity. And because humanity's will is increasingly turning away from Me in the last days, the tribulation must also increase if the souls are to be successful. Yet I do not consider any person unjustly, for I know the attitude of each individual and take it into account. And therefore I provide My Own in the last days with particularly rich gifts of grace, with extraordinary strength and immense love, because I know how difficult the last test of earthly life is for them, which they shall pass in order to be able to be close to Me .... I know every person's will and bless him as soon as he is good. I extend every conceivable grace to the human being and help him until the end in order to then fetch him to Me into My kingdom .... And I shorten the days of adversity for My own sake, I end the time of tribulation with the day of My coming in the clouds, so that My word is fulfilled which promises bliss to those who persevere until the end ....

Amen

Love and suffering means of purification ....

B.D. 3814 from June 28th 1946, taken from Book No. 48

Love and suffering are the only means of purification for the soul on this earth. And as man eliminates love, the measure of suffering must be increased for its own sake. But at any time mankind can end this state of suffering or make it more bearable, if it makes an effort to fulfill the divine law of love, which absolutely must be fulfilled for the establishment of the divine order. Then man will also live earthly in order, he will be spared from hard suffering, because his soul matures through love work .... it changes to love, and that is its actual destiny .... The soul is in dark envelopment, it must purge itself before the light can penetrate it .... It is in complete ignorance and must eliminate all errors and defects in order to arrive at the right knowledge of the truth. And this purification happens through love and suffering. If the soul has good will, then it also lives in love, and the power from God breaks through any cover of the soul, because the supply from God is a direct result of own love work. But if the soul misses this, God helps it nevertheless, however in form of suffering, which is to put the soul into the state of the love work, which is to take away all hardness from it, which is to form it according to God's will. Suffering is indeed a hard means of education, but it can lead to success insofar as the soul discards its faults, which so far have not allowed love to arise in it, pride, anger, hatred, as well as any hardness of heart can melt when it is affected by great suffering .... Then she can change, she can be aware of her weakness and lack of strength, become humble and call for help .... And she will be helped, because God is constantly ready to help, because the reclamation of every soul is the purpose of everything that He lets happen. But how much easier could people make their life on earth if they did not disregard love, if they used the most effective means of purification .... the love for God and their neighbor .... Whoever is active in love and has to endure suffering at the same time, his soul will reach a high degree of maturity on earth, but the power from God supports it always and constantly and it also recognizes the blessing of suffering and does not rebel against it. But in detail people could avert much suffering from themselves if they would only be active in love. But as long as they lack faith in it, as long as they are hardened in their hearts and eliminate love from their lives, they have to suffer, and that to a greater extent the closer it gets to the end. For they do not have much time left and need the most effective means of education if the souls are to be saved from eternal damnation .... from endless long time of renewed imprisonment in the creations of the new earth, from which God wants to protect every soul and therefore grants it every help, which also includes the great suffering on earth. Live in love and you will reduce the suffering, but without love no one can become blessed ....

Amen

Draw strength from My word ....

B.D. 3815 from June 29th 1946, taken from Book No. 48

Draw comfort and strength from My word .... Again and again I tell you this because you can only mature by receiving My strength with the word, which guarantees your ascent. If I speak to you Myself, if you desire to hear Me Myself, you detach yourselves from the world and, by opening your heart, receive the emanation of My love, which is strength and grace .... And you will remain victorious in every battle of life. Again and again My word assures you of My love which wants to give, which wants to make you happy temporally and eternally .... My word is the greatest evidence of My love for you, for with My word I give you the surest means to become perfect, thus also to be able to come ever closer to Me, and My nearness signifies beatitude. For My word proclaims My love to you, and My word teaches you love, because you first have to shape yourselves into love before you can bear My nearness. And thus I draw you to Me with My word, and you draw Me to you if you desire My word and receive it with a hungry heart .... Then you will also feel the strength of My word, you will be able to satisfy yourselves at any time, you will be able to fetch comfort if you are in need of it; My word will strengthen your faith, increase your love for Me, My word will spur you on to ever more lively spiritual activity and lead you to realisation. And therefore draw from the source of strength at all times, from the spring of life, accept My word and refresh yourselves with it, and all weakness will fall away from you, you will also master earthly life, for then you will work with My strength because I have blessed My word with My strength ....

Amen

"He who stays in love stays in Me .... "

B.D. 3816 from June 30th 1946, taken from Book No. 48

The approach to God takes place through every work of love .... For God is eternal love Himself, and if a work of love is practised the love spark smouldering in the human being unites with the fire of divine love .... God Himself comes close to the human being, Who is love and strength in Himself. This can only be understood by the spiritually awakened person and yet cannot be explained in any other way .... But it becomes understandable to every person if he practices love himself, then he feels God around and within him, he feels himself close to the essence of the Deity, he no longer doubts God's existence, for the eternal Love Itself instructs him and gives him the knowledge about the essence of love, about its origin and strength. The loving human being is in constant contact with the original source of love, he constantly draws strength from God, for divine love itself is now active in him. The loving human being can also never be without faith, for he also believes in what he feels within himself, consequently he also acknowledges the supreme Being, because She has made Herself known to him through love. For love is not a quality, it is the being itself. This is too difficult for the human being on earth to understand but it will be clearly comprehensible to the soul when it discards the heaviness of earth and enters the spiritual kingdom. On earth it remains a mystery to it which it is unable to reveal, only the awareness of God's presence becomes ever stronger in the human being the more he lives in love, and consequently he can no longer imagine love without God and God without love. And thus the concept of God is inseparably connected with the concept of love, and the human being progresses towards the fullest realisation of the essence of love .... Whose heart has changed to love is therefore also constantly close to God .... God Himself dwells in him, the unification of the spiritual spark resting in the human heart with the eternal father-spirit has taken place, because the love spark has merged with the fire of eternal love .... Man now lives in God and God is in him .... But only through loving activity can union with God be established, any other union is impossible because the essence of the eternal Deity is love and only the same can unite with It. "He who abides in love abides in Me and I in him .... " These are His words which are to be taken completely literally and which do not allow for any other explanation. And therefore His word only teaches love so that people establish the connection with eternal love, because this is the purpose of earthly life, so that they assimilate themselves to God, so that they strive for unification, so that they become blissfully happy through love, so that they can eternally dwell in the vicinity of God, Who is eternal love Himself ....

God's intervention .... last phase before the end ....

B.D. 3817 from July 5th 1946, taken from Book No. 48

The heaviness of life approaches you humans all too clearly so that you would not be able to recognize the time of the end. But it must come as it is written, so that My word will be fulfilled. It may be incomprehensible to you that I allow such suffering, that I do not intervene where the unkindness of fellow human beings clearly becomes apparent, but the cup must be drunk to the full, and one day you will recognize that only My love was decisive in order to help your souls, which do not want to recognize what hour has struck for them. You only have a short time left until the end of your days, and if you were sheltered on earth your souls would be lost. But I still want to win them for Myself and therefore I will not intervene until time has come to an end according to the plan of eternity. And it is drawing to a close .... And I will obviously announce Myself within a very short period of time, I will speak Myself with a voice of thunder, once again warning and admonishing people and giving them the evidence that human will and human power will break in the face of My will. I appear so suddenly that all worldly plans and measures are destroyed in an instant. And you can rely on this word of Mine, and if only you make arrangements to put your souls into a state that you need not fear the day when I will express Myself through the forces of nature, you can expect the day without worry .... it will set you free, one way or another .... it will bring different earthly conditions for the survivors or free the soul from its physical shell .... And therefore make sure that your soul will truly be set free by first detaching yourselves from everything on earth that is dear to you, by only thinking of it and thus preparing yourselves for a speedy physical end. Soon the measure of unkindness will be full and I will put a stop to it. Soon you will hear that the nations are preparing for a new battle and then you can expect My judgement every day. For then the time will be fulfilled which I have determined from eternity, then the earth will enter the last phase before the end .... where My Own will have to prove themselves, where they shall confess Me before the world .... where My grace and My strength will manifestly appear, where satan will rage in the worst way and where I Myself will be in the midst of My Own in spirit to guide them through all hardship and danger .... And then comes the Judgment .... the end of this earth in its present form and the end of countless people who are far away from Me and therefore will be banished anew for the purpose of their former redemption .... And everything will come as I have said, for My word is and remains truth for all eternity ....

Amen

God's guidance .... worries about the future ....

B.D. 3818 from July 6th 1946, taken from Book No. 48

I Myself will guide and lead you, and therefore don't fear whatever may come .... My arm is strong and mighty, and I will carry every burden for you if you trustingly place it on Me because you believe in Me. And I constantly walk beside you, I will not leave you alone, and in this certainty you can take every path you have to take according to your eternal destiny. It will become easier for you if you know Me as your constant companion close to you, to Whom you can always turn and Who will always help you if you are in danger of becoming weak. It is My will that you are safely protected when My word comes true .... It is My will that you then proclaim Me aloud to all who listen to you; that you are active for Me in the circle to which I lead you, for I know who needs you, to whom you should bring help in spiritual adversity. And everything is prepared, which is why you need not worry about the future, for I Myself will take care of you if you work for Me, just as a master takes care of his servants if they are willing and capable workers for him. I care for you like a father cares for his children if you express your affiliation to Me through your willingness to serve Me. And therefore leave every worry to Me, for I also consider the smallest needs because I love you and want to help you in the battle of life, so that you only devote all your thoughts and endeavours to your soul, so that you can carefree only pursue the spiritual aim and thus strive upwards. So trustingly place your earthly well-being in My hands .... And I will regulate and order everything as it serves you, and you will recognize My love, My power and My wisdom .... But you must not doubt, for only the strength of faith secures you My complete support .... Entrust yourselves to Me with complete faith and I will truly take care of you now and forever. Always and constantly strengthen yourselves with My word, live in love, watch and pray and let everything come to you without fear and anxiety, and act as you feel inwardly urged .... I watch over you and don't leave you, you are under My protection and nothing can happen to you but what is best for your soul. For My will directs all events, and My will only allows that which helps you to mature your soul. And My love will make everything bearable for you if only you believe in Me and entrust yourselves to Me without worry ....

Destiny .... Submission to God's will ....

B.D. 3819 from July 7th 1946, taken from Book No. 48

That which is granted to you according to divine will of eternity has to be accepted by you, and its blessing for you depends on how you cope with it. If you submit yourselves to divine will, you will accept your fate without grumbling and complaining, for then you will have faith in God's love and omnipotence and expect His help without doubting. And then God will certainly help you .... If, however, you inwardly rebel against God's divine providence, if you sullenly complain and try to defend yourselves, the weight will burden you even more, or you will receive help from below, you will be supported by the one who wants to gain you for himself in order to corrupt you. For with those who still carry too much of their own will and do not yet acknowledge God's will, he will be preaching to the converted, he will be listened to and will win over the soul. Every person's destiny is according to his own will, and the reason as to why the same destiny causes more suffering in one person than another is because he lacks submission to God's will. And in order to save the soul which is rebelling against God, the adversity must affect it harder until it realises that a higher will is taking effect and it unconditionally subjects itself to the latter. And thus you humans need never believe that you can make your earthly fate easier for yourselves by taking this or that precaution .... You can certainly alter your course of life by using your own will but never its difficulties, for the gravity of events approaching you depends on how your soul needs it, and you must take your measure of suffering upon yourselves regardless of which path you are taking .... you cannot escape your destiny, because it has been determined for eternity. Only your submission of will shall make it bearable for you, for then it will have served its purpose, and you will no longer need such painful means, instead, you can live an easier life until its end. Therefore, don't rebel against God's will, recognise God's will in everything that comes upon you, don't complain and grumble but humbly bear what you are sent by God and He will take it away from you again as soon as you yield to His will. And firmly believe that He can always help you, and the strength of faith will banish every disaster .... God only wants to win you over to Himself and not lose you to the one who is His adversary, who has completely turned his will from Him and aims to push His living creations away from Him as well by inciting their will to likewise rebel against God. Therefore, don't fall prey to the one who wants to corrupt you but recognise God as your Lord and submit yourselves to Him .... and even the harshest destiny will be a blessing for you ....

Amen

Free will ....

B.D. 3820 from July 8th 1946, taken from Book No. 48

You came forth from Me and shall return to Me again in order to remain Mine forever and enjoy all the delights of heaven. My plan of eternity has nothing else as its aim than the final unification of My living creations with Me, but it has to take place in the free will of these creations or they would not be able to be My children who shall be active in creating and shaping in all perfection. And if My living creations use their free will to draw closer to Me it truly only takes a short time to become My image, to become perfect, just as the father in heaven is perfect. But if My living creations prolong the time themselves in free will I do not prevent them, yet this is truly not My fault and My will; however, I always and constantly help them to reach the aim, even if by means which appear incomprehensible to them as long as they are not yet in realisation. I constantly appeal for My living creations' love, for this is the prerequisite for them to use their will correctly and strive towards Me. Only when the creature is filled with love for Me will it seek to unite with Me, and then the time until unification with Me will only be short .... then it will be close to the aim .... My creations emerged from My strength of love, thus their original substance is love which inevitably has to return to eternal love again if it has distanced itself from it. For the strength from Me is indivisible, it cannot be lost, only the creature can no longer recognize itself as what it is and in this ignorance keep itself away from Me as long as it wants to endure the powerless state which is the result of its distance from Me .... If it longs for strength then the distance from Me is already reduced and it strives towards the original state where it was in full possession of strength in supreme knowledge. My creations, however, in order to be supremely perfect also had to be completely free in thought and will, and they also had to be able to use their will in all directions, they, as good and perfect created by Me, also had to remain good and perfect in free will, and therefore it was given the opportunity to develop in every direction .... And even if they fell into the deepest abyss, if the will expressed itself in the wrong direction, they nevertheless inevitably had to ascend again, yet also in free will, because otherwise perfection would be eliminated. And only love for Me, for the origin of themselves, lets their will become active in the right direction, which is why I constantly court their love, which is why I always and constantly approach My living creations in the stage of free will where it has to prove itself. Nothing will be lost in eternity that has originated from Me; but so that it does not have to languish at a distance from Me for eternities I use all means, for only My nearness signifies happiness and bliss for the created by Me, but any distance from Me signifies wretchedness, darkness and lack of strength .... a state which is greatest torment for that which has emerged in all freedom and strength. Yet in order to form true children from My living creations, who shall possess all the father's rights and take up the father's inheritance, I cannot impose any restriction on their will. They must find their way to Me of their own accord, they must love Me with all their heart and press towards Me, and I will draw them to My heart with joy and make them blissfully happy for all eternity ....

Amen

Urgent admonition to detach from matter ....

B.D. 3821 from July 9th 1946, taken from Book No. 48

Recognise the time and adjust your life accordingly .... Anyone who is unable to detach himself from the possessions of the world will find the last days before the end very difficult, for he will lose everything if he does not belong to those who are completely corrupt, who will receive everything so as to completely renounce Me. Then I will have to take that which you are unable to relinquish voluntarily from you by force if I want to save you from entirely falling prey to the one who wants your eternal ruin. For earthly matter belongs to him and must never become the principle of your life, instead you should use it to cover your most essential physical needs so that you can consider your soul the more abundantly .... For this alone is needed in the coming time, because you only have little time left until the end. But if you spend it by just taking care of your physical well-being then your soul will go short and will have to suffer indescribably if I still want to rescue it before the end. Therefore remove whatever your body does not require and give it to your needy fellow human being, for there will be much hardship with My permission. Recognise the last days before the end by the fact that a great tribulation will befall the earth which you will be unable to avert by yourselves and which will be made even worse through My will, through My last intervention before the end. Then you all must realise that I only want you to have very little for your body, that I want to direct your mind more towards the soul, towards the spirit, and humbly submit yourselves to My will. Ignore your body and only take care of your soul, then I will take care of your physical well-being and keep you alive until the end, and you will be able to endure your last stage of life because I will help you.

And thus liberate yourselves from all earthly matter, detach your heart from it, and gladly share whatever you own with your needy neighbour. And you will not have to go short despite your externally most modest living conditions, you will be able to live and work because your soul will receive doubly what your body gives up. I must take your earthly possessions away from you if you don't part from them voluntarily, I must implement a forceful solution if you are too weak to separate yourselves from them. But it is far better if you already detach yourselves from them in your heart before, that you no longer let yourselves be enslaved by matter, but that you leave everything up to Me of your own free will if you sacrifice everything you own to Me .... Then I will return to you what you need and also make your earthly life easier, and you will make proper use of the time until the end for your soul. For if I tell you that you that your life will not last long anymore, why should you still anxiously worry .... ? You will have to leave all earthly possessions behind when your body dies, your soul, however, will remain chained to it even in the spiritual kingdom if it hasn't detached itself on earth already. And I want to help the soul learn to overcome it on earth and free itself from all longing for it .... Detach yourselves from matter .... I let this call resound more urgently than ever, for the care of your soul is paramount in the forthcoming time ....

Amen
