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.

Warning about communicating with the beyond ....

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

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

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

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

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

Amen

Enigmatic earth fates .... (Welkisch)

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

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

Scrutinising spiritual knowledge ....

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

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

Amen

Divorce of the spirits ....

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

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

Calling upon the vineyard labourers ....

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

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

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

Amen

Admonition to humility ....

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

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

Instruction from God requires bonding with Him ....

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

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

The bliss of return ....

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

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

Amen

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

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

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

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

Amen

Desire for truth guarantees knowledge ....

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

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

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

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

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

Different kind of revelations of God ....

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

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

Justification of God's address ....

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

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

Proclaiming the gospel around the world ....

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

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

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

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

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

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

Amen

Salvation only through Jesus Christ ....

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

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

Proclaiming the gospel of love ....

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

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

Message to the formal Christians ....

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

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

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

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

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

Amen

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

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

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

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

Amen

Realization is proof of return ....

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

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

Jesus' resurrection and spiritualisation ....

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

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

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

Living faith ....

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

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

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

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

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

Faith can move mountains ....

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

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

Proclaiming the Gospel ....

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

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

Amen

The voice of conscience ....

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

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

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

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

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

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

Amen

The spirits' process of development ....

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

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

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

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

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

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

Amen

The word was in the beginning ....

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Amen

Gifts of the spirit ....

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

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

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

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

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

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

Amen

Reference to time of tribulation ....

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

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

False prophets ....

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

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

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

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

Amen

Address to all vineyard workers ....

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

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

What are graces ....

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Amen

God's love .... Last days ....

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

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

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

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

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

Amen

Work of the spirit in man ....

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

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

Love for "sick souls" ....

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

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

Delivering the divine word ....

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

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

Visible presence of Jesus ....

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

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

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

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

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

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

Amen

Redemption work of the individual ....

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

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

Teacher training from God's ....

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

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

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

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

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

Word preacher with or without love ....

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

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

The light of eternity ....

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

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

Dangers of psychic reception ....

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

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

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

Amen

Handing out the soul food ....

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

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

About the forerunner ....

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

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

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

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

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

Amen

Value of earthly knowledge ....

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

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

God's unfathomable love ....

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

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

Sin against the spirit ....

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

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

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

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

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

Amen

God's blessing on vineyard work ....

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

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

Implementation of the plan of Salvation ....

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

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

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

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

Amen

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

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

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

Spiritual superiority is not spiritual arrogance ....

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

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

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

Amen

God's human manifestation in Jesus ....

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Love and suffering purify the soul ....

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

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

Amen

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

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

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

Unselfish distribution of the Word ....

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

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

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

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

Amen

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

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

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

About abstinence and asceticism ....

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

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

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

Amen

Signs of the last days ....

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

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

Amen

God's assistance in vineyard work ....

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

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

Prayer in spirit and in truth ....

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

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

The soul shall be fairly provided for ....

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

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

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

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

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

About the UFO convention ....

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

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

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

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

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

Amen

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

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

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

Selfless distribution of the Word ....

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

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

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

Amen

God's unceasing proofs of love ....

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

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

Fighting or serving in love ....

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

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

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

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

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

Original sin and atonement through Jesus Christ ....

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

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

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

Amen

Constant feeding of the soul ....

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

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

Light bearers enlighten the way ....

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

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

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

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

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

Faith struggle and last decision ....

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

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

God can only be recognized through truth ....

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

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

The transformation work of Earth ....

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

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

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

Amen

Doubts about the truth of the predictions ....

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

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

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

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

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

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

Amen

Not yet formed fallen spirit ....

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

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

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

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

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

Amen

Awakening the divine abilities possible ....

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

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

Matter is great danger to the soul ....

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Amen

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

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

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

Jesus' last Words on the cross ....

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

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

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

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

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

Amen

Evaluation of the divine word ....

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

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

Pointing the way to the father ....

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Amen

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

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

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

Why the lord descended to earth ....

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

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

Cause and origin of creation ....

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

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

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

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

Amen

"You must all be taught by God .... "

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

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

Admonition to constant connection with God ....

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Love is the law of eternal order ....

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

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

Source of life ....

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

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

God's address is a great grace ....

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

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

The adversary oversteps his authority ....

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

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

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

Amen

"Living christians" ....

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

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

The light descended to Earth ....

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

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

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

Amen

Jesus Christ's act of Salvation ....

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Amen

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

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

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

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

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

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

Amen

Mental bonding with God ....

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

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

Overcoming matter ....

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

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

The living witness to Jesus Christ ....

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

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

Explanation about different Word-reception ....

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

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

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

Amen

Mental coercion ....

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Love is the law of order ....

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

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

Divine love .... selfish love ....

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Amen
