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.

The 'working of the spirit' in the human being ....

B.D. 7798 from January 15th 1961, taken from Book No. 82

The most profound mysteries can be penetrated by you if you allow the working of My spirit within you .... You will not understand this for as long as you still think in an earthly-material way, for as long as your mind is only occupied with the world and you do not try to find contact with the spiritual kingdom .... You will not understand the 'working of My spirit' as long as you have not made contact with Me, your God and Father, because then you will not be living in love as yet, which is the prerequisite for a bond with Me and thus also for the dormant spiritual spark with the eternal Father-Spirit .... Without love you cannot muster the understanding for the working of My spirit and neither will you ever strive for it .... However, once you kindle love in yourselves, the spirit in you will come alive .... You thereby establish the bond with the Father-Spirit of eternity, Who is love Itself, and He will influence you through the spiritual spark in you .... By allowing the 'working of My spirit' in you, you will truly attain great spiritual knowledge, knowledge will be made accessible to you which people cannot gain in any other way, for you may take a glimpse into spiritual spheres where secrets will be revealed to you which, however, can only ever be imparted to you by the spirit within you. However, prior to that you will always have to prepare yourselves into a receiving vessel for the divine spirit, which can only be accomplished through love. Then My spirit will be able to flow into you and the results will be truly glorious, they will be and remain a person's gain for all eternity. And so truth, too, can and will be conveyed to you humans in this way, hence it is possible for you to be instructed by 'God Himself' in all truthfulness if you allow My spirit to express itself, for this is entirely up to your own free will, no-one will be forced into it.

But if you allow it, by voluntarily shaping yourselves through a life of love into a receiving vessel for My spirit, then you will soon become enlightened, you will soon experience brightest realisation, and knowledge will be revealed to you which will plainly reveal all spiritual correlations to you .... Then the darkness of night will truly have been penetrated and the spiritual sun will shine into your heart, you will never walk in darkness again for you will have received a true light from Me which you may radiate into the night again. Therefore, don't be surprised where a person's wisdom comes from while another one does not possess it as yet .... Don't question why it is still so dark in people's hearts, for you now know the answer: You must seek the light yourselves, you must ignite the spark in yourselves and then there will be light because you desire light .... You humans should believe that I Am in contact with you, that I do not want you to live in eternal darkness. Yet you yourselves should want to escape the darkness too and take measures to kindle a light in you .... you should be aware of the fact that I placed a tiny spark in you but that it depends on your free will whether you want to fan this spark into a flame .... Then this flame will surge towards Me and unite itself with the fire of the Eternal Love .... with the result that My spirit will pour itself into such a prepared vessel and dispel the darkness in which the soul lingered until it accepted Me, until its love urged it towards Me and the darkness was subsequently penetrated .... Then I will be able to work in the human being, and where I Am at work through My spirit there is light, realisation and bliss ....

Amen

Transcending Matter ....

B.D. 7799 from January 16th 1961, taken from Book No. 82

No human being can spiritualize his soul, i.e. help it to unite with the spiritual spark within himself which still has turned its heart towards matter, for it will not pay attention to the voice of the spirit within itself, its thinking, wanting and acting will only ever be worldly oriented and it will leave its soul in want while it will do everything to the body which it demands. The soul and the spirit will only come to an agreement when the human being overcomes selfish love, when he eliminates earthly desires and pays attention to what the spirit demands, which tries to draw the soul to the father, which tries to determine it to establish the connection with Me so that I Myself can now also influence the soul through the spirit. Thus it must always be kept in mind that there are two kingdoms which try to captivate the human being but which completely differ from each other in their nature .... The earthly kingdom only offers material goods, the spiritual kingdom, however, such goods which are imperishable .... But the latter cannot be perceived as well as earthly goods, and therefore the human being seeks to rather come into possession of that which is visible and tangible. Spiritual goods, however, are not so openly perceptible and therefore only few people strive for them. But the spiritualization of the soul is the aim and purpose of earthly life, because the soul then changes its abode and passes over into the spiritual kingdom when the hour of its departure from this earth has come; then the body and with it everything it had striven for on earth will perish .... but the soul will remain, and if it has already been able to achieve spiritualization on earth then it will enter the spiritual kingdom in a radiant garment of light and will be blissfully happy .... But if the body has enjoyed priority in earthly life, then the soul is pitiful, for it cannot pass away, but according to its state of maturity its further life is then in the spiritual kingdom. And this often also means a spiritual standstill, which can be followed by a decline into the abyss. For then it has covered its earthly life in vain, it has not achieved spiritual progress because it has attached too much value to matter instead of overcoming it. The human being has to pass through the material world, he has to try to become master but he must not become a servant or slave to matter, for then he will not progress in his development, then the soul will not attain the maturity which will help it to unite with its spirit within itself .... The human being has to overcome selfish love, then he will be master of matter, then he can divest himself of it, and then he will also do so joyfully, and then he will have recognized his purpose of earthly life and also fulfilled it. Then he will willingly let himself be guided by his spirit, and thus I Myself will be able to influence him and he will have to ascend irrevocably, because My working in him will then truly be spiritually successful .... because the spirit in him will then push towards the eternal father-spirit and the unification can take place, which precisely requires a spiritualized soul which has completely detached itself from matter, which only strives for the spiritual kingdom and has taken the path back into its father's house. And the human being should only ever ask himself to what extent his love still applies to himself .... For only when he has overcome himself will his love for Me have reached the degree that the union can take place, which is now eternally indissoluble ...._>Amen

Process of development on earth ....

B.D. 7800 from January 21st 1961, taken from Book No. 82

When earth came into existence, countless spiritual substances were able to embody themselves in its works of creation and gradually ascended during their evolutionary process, because the creations corresponded to the spiritual substances' inherent resistance, which was still unbroken but of different intensity. The works of creation were more or less hard matter, because even earth itself gradually evolved into a work of creation which was to shelter people one day .... the spiritual essence which had already covered the process of development to the point when all substances of a fallen original spirit had gathered once again and regained their self-awareness and free will ....

But an infinitely long time had passed before the spiritual substance could reach this stage because earth needed this time in order to produce all the creations required by the spirit for its higher development. And the human being should know that he has already spent infinite periods of time on this earth, that the stage of human being is the conclusion of an evolutionary process which his will can now bring to an end. He should also know that one day this infinite path will be shown to him in retrospect, but that this memory has to be removed from him as a human being, since his task as a human being concerns his voluntary return to God. However, when he contemplates the countless wonders of divine creations surrounding him he should seriously ask himself what purpose they have to fulfil, and then he will receive clarification in his heart .... He will feel it, if the knowledge is not yet made accessible to him. And he should try to grasp the Creator's fundamental nature, i.e. request clarification about his relationship to Him. And this, too, will be given to him, since the goal of earthly life rests in the person re-establishing his relationship with God, which he once voluntarily had severed. For that was the 'fall of the spirits', they had separated from God of their own free will .... And thus .... during the last stage of their return to God .... they have to voluntarily restore their relationship with Him again and the purpose of their earthly progress will be fulfilled.

The fact that creation has largely contributed in returning the fallen being again can only be understood by you humans when you have achieved this return, because you would never have been able to reach the ascent if the divine Creator had not taken you away from His adversary's power who had caused your fall into the abyss .... if He had not removed you from his influence during the infinitely long time when you were integrated in the works of creation as tiniest particles of soul. His adversary had no control over you during this time, nevertheless you still belonged to him because you once followed him of your own accord into the abyss. But since you were completely without strength and light as a result of your apostasy from God, your path of return to God would have been impossible for you. For this reason God Himself provided you with this path of return through His works of creation which, in supreme wisdom and infinite love, were shaped to give the spiritual substance the opportunity of service in some form or other and thus, through service, reach ever higher levels of maturity. The spiritual particles which once belonged to an original spirit gathered again and, having achieved a certain level of maturity, commenced their last transformation .... For a brief period of time they were allowed to live on earth as a human being and had to be of service again .... but of their own free will and with love .... The purpose of earthly life for every soul embodied in a human being is to liberate itself from every cover by way of loving service, to return to the spiritual kingdom again, when its earthly life has ended, as the free spiritual being it had been in the beginning.

However, it cannot achieve this spiritualization without help because it is burdened by the original sin which repeatedly pushes it down again .... i.e. during its earthly life God's adversary has the right to exercise his influence again, since the spirits once followed him voluntarily. And the fallen original spirit .... the human being .... would succumb to his influence once more were it not for the offer of guaranteed help: redemption through Jesus Christ .... in Whom God embodied Himself to redeem the guilt of sin for all fallen spirits through His sacrificial death on the cross .... This help by Jesus Christ, the complete redemption and forgiveness of his sin, is assured to him providing he wants it himself, providing he acknowledges Jesus Christ and His act of Salvation and he acknowledges Jesus as God Himself, Whom the original spirit once denied acknowledgment ....

And thus you humans are given a brief explanation concerning the cause and significance of the act of Salvation. You have to know this in order to fulfil the purpose of your earthly life, in order to understand the divine plan of Salvation too, which only ever aims to guide the spirit essence back to God and which will be carried out with love and wisdom, since He has every power at His command to one day achieve the goal He had set Himself when He created all spiritual beings ....

Amen

Defence and illumination of the divine love power ....

B.D. 7801 from January 19th 1961, taken from Book No. 82

My love carries you and therefore you cannot be lost forever. You emerged from My love, for love is My fundamental substance, love is the strength which brought you into being .... And thus you are My share and will remain so forever. And what belongs to Me can indeed temporarily separate from Me, yet only willingly, otherwise it would perish if My strength of love did not keep it. But the voluntary, willful separation from Me also means the loss of light and strength, because the willful turning away from Me on your part prevents the permeation of My strength of love, which is only ever effective if it is not opposed .... For this is the law of eternity, and therefore only the voluntary acceptance of My strength of love can signify the possession of light and strength for you, and therefore you can only be blissfully happy if you do so, for a lack of light and strength makes the being miserable .... But you nevertheless possess all My love which follows you even into the deepest depths, because My love never stops, because it never decreases but always requires an open vessel into which it can pour itself. And this is what you humans should do in earthly life: You should open yourselves again in free will, you should turn to Me again as you once turned away from Me and closed yourselves to My flow of love. My love is always ready to radiate towards you, thus you should also make yourselves ready to receive My love .... You should return My love and thereby restore the union with Me which you once severed of your own free will .... This is your whole earthly task, which each one of you can also fulfil because he will receive My support in every way. For My fatherly love longs for the children to return to Me again, so that I can make them happy again as I once did. Yet you left Me voluntarily, you must also return voluntarily or you would truly have been My undivided possession for a long time already. But thus you also still belong to My adversary who is to blame for your fall into the abyss, for you followed him voluntarily .... Thus he also still has a right to you, and you yourselves should now decide in earthly life to whom you want to belong .... For neither My adversary nor I have a violent effect on you. But this is why you should also learn about Me as well as My adversary, you should know the aim which both I as well as My adversary pursue, you should know the nature and the will which is completely opposite, so that you will then also be able to freely decide to whom you want to surrender. And therefore you humans are addressed by Me, I Myself convey this knowledge to you, I inform you of your purpose of earthly life, of all correlations and of the infinite love which fills Me with all created beings .... And if only you are of good will you will love Me again and choose Me as your lord and leader, and then you will be saved for all eternity .... Then you will have escaped My adversary's power, then you will have taken the path home, you will voluntarily return to your father's house, you will unite with Me again and My love will shine through you as it once did, and you will be immeasurably blissful ...._>Amen

Matter is consolidated spiritual strength ....

B.D. 7802 from January 20th 1961, taken from Book No. 82

Consider yourselves My students and accept My instructions: The spiritual as well as the earthly-material world are guided and held by My will. If My will did not hold them they would truly dissolve into nothing, for the thoughts I externalised as My creations were consolidated through My will so that they could continue as something 'created'. And this consolidated will manifested itself in the most varied creations or: Every work of creation was strength consolidated through My will which I emanated because it gave Me pleasure to express this strength in forms determined by My love and wisdom .... The act of creation was only an expression of My greater than great love, unsurpassed wisdom and infinite might .... The thoughts I externalised took on forms through My will, thus all works of creation were thoughts consolidated by My will .... And when it was My will these shaped thoughts became visible .... The first works of creation .... the beings I externalised .... were able to see each other and all the spiritual creations I brought forth to give them happiness. They found themselves in the midst of inconceivable splendours which, however, cannot be described to you in detail since they were spiritual creations which demonstrated My might and glory to the created beings and gave them great pleasure .... And once something had come into existence it could never perish again. However, it was possible for the beings to lose the ability of seeing these works. Nevertheless, they continued to exist, for they were spiritual creations which are and will remain forever ....

Yet earthly matter, too, is strength consolidated through My will, but this only lasts until My will withdraws and the matter dissolves, i.e., the spiritual strength becomes invisible again as before, and My will reshapes it yet again as it best serves its purpose, which can happen many times as conceived by My wisdom and determined by My love. As an earthly-material form is dissolved the spiritual strength can certainly escape from it but it cannot cease to exist, whereas the matter as such will vanish as soon as it is no longer held firm by My will. And My will shall, time and again, withdraw from it because the task it has to fulfil is limited. It must be transient because, time and again, it has to release the spiritual substances which are to mature within matter according to the eternal plan. However, occasionally the human being also takes part in the dissolution of material creations, who can act in accordance with God's will but also in opposition to it, yet this free expression of will is permitted by God although the human being will have to justify his motives which prompted him to dissolve material works of creation .... For even these humanly accomplished dissolutions of matter can be good, that is‚ 'willed by God' .... They may, however, have been based on evil motives which do not comply with My will and are considered an offence against divine order. You must know this, too, in order to understand that no matter could exist were it not held together by My will, but that I do not hinder man's free will if it opposes Mine by trying to destroy matter .... Then he can certainly intervene in My work of creation but only to a limited extent, and even this wrong will was a determining factor for My plan of Salvation, or: I knew of it from the start and therefore based My plan of Salvation on this will. Material creations are transient and sometimes, therefore, incite the human being himself to intervene destructively and, depending on his reasons, with good or bad results, for My wisdom recognises the blessing which a dissolution of matter can entail, whereas the human being's will can reverse the effect of his actions to his own detriment or that of the spiritual substances still bound in matter; consequently, the human being will also have to justify himself if he has sinned against the eternal law of order. For I Myself bind and release .... and this in accordance with eternal law, in love and wisdom, for all power is at My disposal to do whatever My will determines ....

Spiritual pride and its danger ....

B.D. 7803 from January 21st 1961, taken from Book No. 82

Spiritual pride is the greatest evil for it requires the greatest strength to overcome it. And since the spiritually proud human being still completely belongs to the adversary he will never appeal to God for a gift of strength and will remain enchained until his heart has changed to become humble .... which generally requires more than one life on earth, hence necessitates a new banishment in matter. Spiritual pride is the inherited evil from the one who plunged into the abyss because of his arrogance. He will not even renounce his spiritual pride for eternities, therefore he will only take the path to the Father when he deems himself so small and low and weak that he will appeal for strength, which will then certainly be granted to him. And the same applies to his follower who remains in spiritual arrogance, who refuses to bow down to God's will, who therefore will not acknowledge a 'God' above himself either, who, as a human being, is so utterly convinced of his ego's value that he does not accept any spiritual instructions, that he does not think he needs the help that a higher Power can provide for him. Total unbelief and spiritual pride will always walk hand in hand, and because the human being does not want to acknowledge any God he will never be able to receive the flow of strength which enables him to free himself from this inherited evil, and his fellow human being will have no influence on him because he deems himself above everything that requires 'faith' and extends into spiritual spheres.

Addressing such people and imparting God's Word to them is rarely successful because they are constantly under the influence of God's adversary, who also wants to keep his followers away from God so as not to lessen his might and strength he assumes to possess in his adherents. Severe earthly and physical adversity must strike a spiritually arrogant person so that he takes notice of the feeling of weakness which might change his mind; he must realise that he is nothing and incapable of changing anything by virtue of his human nature, and this feeling of imperfection must persuade him to think. Then he will gradually relinquish his arrogance .... on account of which it is an incredibly significant grace if a person is placed into such circumstances where he becomes aware of his weakness and imperfection and is able to draw his conclusions from it. However, he retains his free will at all times, hence the adversary, too, will always influence him and thus he will just as well be able to dispel the thoughts which surface in him. But the world of light will also struggle for his soul in order to save him from the fate of renewed banishment .... and even if they merely succeed in persuading the human being to recognise his utter inferiority before his death and to acknowledge a Power above him before he dies .... Then he can still be helped to progress in the beyond and he will not need to repeat the path through the whole creation .... Then he will have succeeded in liberating himself from the adversary's domination, although the soul will have a hard struggle in the kingdom of the beyond in order to reach the light, which often shone on him on earth but was not accepted. However, God takes mercy upon every soul and will not abandon it .... But the human being has free will and this alone determines the soul's fate when it departs from its mortal body ....

Darkening of the mind before Jesus Christ .... Moses .... (see also Book 82 NR. 7807)

B.D. 7804 from January 22nd 1961, taken from Book No. 82

The spirit will give you the understanding if you allow it to express itself. Then the right thoughts will arise in you, you will become enlightened, you will not need to brood and yet be satisfied with your mental results because they were not conveyed to you by the intellect but by the spirit. Yet My spirit can only manifest itself in you when you have found salvation through Jesus Christ .... You must acknowledge Him, you must have asked for forgiveness of your past guilt and thus also acknowledge Me in Him, which initiates your return to Me and, through the bond with Me, the spiritual spark in you has also united with the father-spirit, which now teaches you and makes knowledge accessible to you which you would otherwise never be able to acquire through your intellect. And now you will also know what is necessary for your soul's salvation, for you will be taught about it by the spirit. You shall be led out of the darkness of the spirit into the light, you shall learn to understand what was incomprehensible to you until now .... Above all you shall learn to recognize the nature of your God and creator, because I desire your love and because only a true image of Me can kindle love in you. And thus you should know that My nature is love, wisdom and might .... that I am a supremely perfect being Which deserves your love, Which certainly stands above you and yet wants to be united with you because I love you and because you emerged from My love. You should know of My perfection, then you will also learn to love Me, you will reciprocate My infinite love for you and long to return to Me from Whom you once originated. But now consider that I had to die for you on the cross first, that you had to be redeemed before you could muster the willpower to consciously take the path back to Me, to consciously strive towards Me .... You first had to be redeemed from your original sin before My Spirit could work in you and give you information about My nature .... before My death on the cross people did not recognize My perfection; a God of love, wisdom and power was alien to them .... they only knew a God of wrath, a God of power, Who only ever punished when people sinned .... They only saw in Me the "judge", Who was without mercy .... For they did not recognize Me. And it was not possible to give them true knowledge, for they were in spiritual darkness, their thinking could not be enlightened by the spirit, they were not redeemed and were under the spell of sin, the darkening of the spirit, the clouding of thinking, which meant inner darkness .... They did not know about My true nature, for the prince of darkness determined their thinking and reasoning, he controlled their intellect and presented Me to people as a being of wrath, Who mercilessly beat people, Whom they had to fear .... And only after My crucifixion was a light able to shine and illuminate the dark night, for the light of eternity Himself had ascended to earth .... O could you humans believe that you have entered a completely new phase, that the way back to Me was now free and that you therefore no longer need to look back and remember the time before Jesus Christ, when deepest darkness still lay spread over people because they still languished under the burden of original sin and only a few hoped for salvation from the coming messiah, whose thoughts were turned towards Me and therefore the coming of the messiah had also been announced to them .... And therefore it is also meaningless to you humans of the present time what took place on earth in the man Jesus before My descent to earth, for I Myself put an end to this time, through My act of salvation I Myself initiated a new phase on this earth, and all of you need only let yourselves be redeemed by Me in Jesus Christ and you will be allowed to recognize in the fullest light as well as My spirit can instruct you .... And you will experience what is necessary for your soul's salvation, for as soon as you are redeemed all darkness will fall from you and all your thoughts and aspirations will only be directed towards your divine redeemer Jesus Christ, in Whom I Myself was embodied .... and you will recognize Me Myself in Him and thus have returned to Me again, from Whom you once came forth ...._>Amen

Words of inspiration for vineyard work ....

B.D. 7805 from January 23rd 1961, taken from Book No. 82

The gift of grace you receive also obliges you to pass it on .... For it is not only given to one person but I want to address all people through this one person, because they cannot hear My direct address but urgently require My word if they are still to be saved before the end. And therefore I will assist you in every way so that you can carry out your vineyard work, so that you can spread My word as I deem it successful. For I know which souls are still open to My word, and I will truly convey My word to them through you as soon as you are willing to serve Me. Therefore only ever carry out what your heart urges you to do .... Do what seems right to you after you have commended yourselves to Me and asked for My blessing .... Then your thoughts will always be rightly directed, then you will only carry out My will and I will bless you .... Admittedly, there will only ever be a small flock which you can thus address with My word, for their hearts are not always open; but since I wrestle for every single soul so that it will still find its way to Me before the end, I will also guide My word to wherever such a soul is, and you will often have to take the strangest paths in order to reach them. But you are always under My guidance, or also: I Myself open the doors for you through which you shall enter; I Myself open up all possibilities for you to deliver My word, and you will also be joyfully accepted if you bring them My word, which they recognize as a precious gift of grace and therefore willingly accept. Therefore be immeasurably active in your work for Me and My kingdom, and don't fear a decrease in strength as long as you serve Me .... For as long as I need you as My mediators to address people through you, I will also keep you fit for your mission, and as long as you are under My care, you will not go any path alone, you will constantly be guided and need only trustingly hand yourselves over to Me .... and I will take over every spiritual and earthly worry for you, so that you can freely and light-heartedly carry out the vineyard work for which you have made yourselves available to Me. For people must hear My word, they must experience what I want from them, they must get to know Me as their God and father so that they will also show love towards Me .... People must be given spiritual knowledge which can help them attain beatitude .... yet they are left with the free will to accept and evaluate My word .... Yet as soon as you create the opportunity for Me that people will hear My word their will can also turn to Me, and then there will no longer be any danger that they will go astray. But the end is near and the time is only short .... Therefore work with all diligence; work while it is still day, for the night will come when you cannot work ...._>Amen

Joint action at the time of the battle of faith ....

B.D. 7806 from January 24th 1961, taken from Book No. 82

And a spiritual community will form which is active in My will when the time of the battle of faith has come .... People will come together who are of the same spirit, whose will is turned towards Me and who will also confess Me before the world. For these receive strength from Me and cannot help but proclaim My name because they are fully permeated by My spirit, because their faith is a living one, full of power and full of strength. Therefore this time of the battle of faith need not give you, who want to be Mine, cause for fear and worry, for you will be stronger than them, you will not fear them but your courage of confession will increase because the more eagerly you stand up for Me and My kingdom the more strength will come to you. And you will recognize each other, for love will bring you together, I Myself will direct your paths and guide you so that you will find the way to each other, and you will transfer the strength within you to the other, a holy fire will glow through you, for you know what is at stake, you also know that the end is near and that My coming is also to be expected soon. And this will strengthen your courage so that you will joyfully confess that you belong to Me, that you would also be willing to lay down your life if I demanded it of you. But I want to grant you My protection because I need you, because many weak souls shall still be lifted up by you, because you shall proclaim Me as your divine redeemer, Whom all people need if they want to become blessed. For My adversary wants to eradicate this faith from people, that is his last aim on this earth which he strives for and tries to achieve by brutal means. And therefore you should stand up for Jesus Christ, you should loudly confess His name before the world .... And you will also be able to do so, for anyone of living faith is also strong and fearless in the face of the world, anyone of living faith also has knowledge and can therefore also make the right decision, for he knows what hour has come .... He knows that the time will come when My adversary will be bound again because he openly opposes the faith in God in Jesus Christ and thereby exceeds his authority. And therefore you humans should strive to attain a living faith, you should live a life of love which alone gives birth to living faith, and you should awaken the spiritual spark in you to life through love, which will then also give you a bright light so that you will recognize and living faith will then also be the result of recognition .... Prepare yourselves for this time, for it requires great strength from you. And therefore also request this strength beforehand, for I will bless everyone who only has the will to belong to Me and to remain Mine forever .... He will truly then also receive the strength from Me to endure until the end, and he will joyfully confess My name before the world .... And he will belong to those who experience the end and whom I will rapture so that he may experience the joys of paradise on the new earth, for then all struggle will come to an end, there will be peace on earth and harmony and bliss ...._>Amen

Moses .... Prophets in the old testament .... (see also Book 82 NR. 7804)

B.D. 7807 from January 25th 1961, taken from Book No. 82

You may never doubt My love, for I am not only your God and creator but also your father, from Whose love you emerged. And it is My fundamental love which can never change, which will never diminish and which therefore only needs to be recognized in order to be reciprocated. But the fact that you do not recognize Me in My love, that you are far more inclined to regard Me as a God of 'wrath' Who unjustly and mercilessly condemns when His creations have sinned against Him, is a consequence of your past sin of rebellion against Me .... When you reversed yourselves in your nature, which was pure love, you were also no longer able to recognize Me Myself, for all your thoughts were wrongly directed .... They deviated from the truth, they could no longer grasp anything correctly, and My adversary ensured that this darkening in you became ever deeper by fighting against all truth, because it was in his plan to plunge you into complete ignorance of Me in order to prevent your return to Me .... to dethrone Me, above Whom he had exalted himself and was the first to fall away from Me. As long as you had not been redeemed from this original sin it was impossible to recognize Me and My nature correctly, and therefore you also fell into ever greater sins as a human being, you rebelled against Me, you sinned against your fellow human beings, and through all these sins you yourselves had conjured up a state that you had become increasingly more enslaved by My adversary, who now dominated you and increasingly more incited you to sin. My love was no longer able to support you, for you had become completely inaccessible to it, and now only laws could be given to you by the 'almighty deity' to ensure your existence on this earth in the first place, for My adversary wanted to destroy because he believed that he could thereby snatch My power away from Me. And these laws only ever demanded that you humans acknowledge a 'power' over you, for you were no longer able to recognize and acknowledge 'love' as a result of your sin. But people whose hearts were particularly hardened did not want to bow to this power either, because they were influenced by the one to whom they had submitted themselves and whom they acknowledged as their 'lord'. My will was switched off in all these people, there was no possibility for their God and creator to make Himself heard, for they completely belonged to My adversary. And only the children of Israel still knew Me as 'God and creator', Whose power they acknowledged and feared .... which is why I always led them out when they fell into the power of others and called upon Me in their distress. Nevertheless, they did not recognize Me as a God of love, as their father, because they were darkened in spirit as a result of the sin of their past apostasy and this great guilt of sin first had to be redeemed before they could be brought the light in which they also recognized Me as their 'father'. And if I allowed prophets to arise amongst those peoples, they were 'driven' by My spirit .... They had to speak what I wanted to say to people through their mouths, but it was not their own light which shone forth in them, yet it was able to bring about a change of heart so that people now sought their God and creator and then I also let Myself be found by those who were of good will. However, people were only able to recognize Me as 'love' after My crucifixion, after Jesus Christ's act of salvation, which meant the redemption of their original sin and then the light broke through in those who lived love themselves. For the strength to do so now came to them from the grace of the act of salvation. But then they also recognized My true nature, which is love, wisdom and power in itself .... Then they themselves were permeated by the light of realization .... And then it was also possible for them to distinguish truth from error, which will always creep in where the darkness of spirit was unmistakable ...._>Amen

Love in just measure ....

B.D. 7808 from January 26th 1961, taken from Book No. 82

I, too, am bound by the law of eternal order. My being is perfect, and thus all qualities must be in Me in the highest perfection, and this is the law of eternal order. A deviation from it would be equal to a state of deficiency, a reduction of perfection, which is completely unthinkable in My nature. Therefore I have to look at everything from this most perfect being of Mine, and I Myself could never deviate from what applies as the law of eternal order. And this is: Love in just measure .... Hence I cannot, out of 'love', bestow beatitude upon My living creations which have degraded themselves, because then the just measure would be exceeded and I would violate My law of order, which, however, is impossible in view of My perfection. My love is truly so great that it would like to make all My creatures happy without limit. Yet the perfection of My nature also sets limits to My love and restrains its effect, otherwise love could also cause harm, because everything has to take effect according to law. And My law of order will always remain the same, it will never change because it is based on My supremely perfect nature. And thus you humans must regard everything as testifying to supreme wisdom and love, even if you yourselves are unable to recognize it in the events which affect yourselves or your fellow human beings, for everything is based on the law of eternal order .... Nothing wrong can be done on My part, and even permissions only testify to My love and wisdom once their effects are recognized, which have rescinded a violation of the eternal order .... And thus a state of suffering on earth can also be regarded as a proof of love on My part, Who wants to help you but observes the law of eternal order, that love must have a just measure in order to testify to My supremely perfect nature. For I am also bound by the law of order, or also: This law emerged from My perfection which can never change. You humans don't know all correlations and therefore you often only judge purely humanly, whereas wonderful solutions will arise in the spiritual world once you have entered it and then you will look back with gratitude on your earthly life, the course of which has sometimes been incomprehensible to you .... But then you will no longer be able to doubt one thing: My immense love .... and then you will also know yourselves that the law of divine order can only be based on this love. And thus I was never able to redeem the original sin out of My love, but My justice also had to be atoned for, otherwise love would not have expressed itself in a just measure .... All qualities are anchored in highest perfection with My nature, and they cannot be arbitrarily switched off if love wants to show itself unusually. This love also has its law within itself, and in order not to violate the law the man Jesus fulfilled the 'law' .... by paying tribute to justice and redeeming the great guilt through His death on the cross. And I accepted this substitutionary atonement because My infinite love was able to participate in it without violating the law .... It was love which now redeemed the guilt, for a being of light offered Himself to walk the earth in a human being and to serve the eternal love as an abode .... And this human being made atonement through immense suffering and torment, and the law was fulfilled, the eternal order was observed. I gave nothing of My perfection, and the souls redeemed through the death of the cross will one day recognize in the spiritual kingdom the immeasurable love I have for My living creations and that this love will never act against the law of divine order because this is impossible ...._>Amen

Selfless vineyard work ....

B.D. 7809 from January 27th 1961, taken from Book No. 82

And you were given the task to spread My Word which is conveyed to you from above by Me .... I truly want to smooth the way for you, I want to help you take My Word to wherever people hunger and thirst for it. For I know whose hearts will not reject My Word when it is offered to them. And thus you only ever do the work which you are capable of doing and should know that I Myself will arrange everything else that serves the distribution of My Word. For this much is certain, I do not convey My Word to earth without purpose, even if it occasionally seems to you that the spiritual information does not fulfil any real purpose ....

You should only patiently and with perseverance cooperate and carry out the work which has to be done by people, because I cannot affect all people directly and therefore need you to serve Me as mediators; for not all people would allow Me to have a direct effect on them, and yet they, too, shall receive My Word in order to enable their souls' maturity. And time and again opportunities will arise when My remarkable work with you can be mentioned; there will be receptive hearts who recognise that it is an extraordinary gift of grace and gratefully offer to assist in My vineyard, and whose willingness to help is gladly accepted by Me. For only love will achieve spiritual success. Therefore don't believe that you can attain such where this love is missing. Don't believe that I will give My blessing for an undertaking that clearly betrays the spirit of worldly interests ....

My Word shall speak to the heart, and I can truly find other ways than the way people in the midst of the world want to take .... For they are not interested in My Word, they are still worldly minded, and therefore they will not contribute towards the spreading of My Word which shall have a liberating effect from the world .... The human hearts which shall accept My Word must have conquered the world already, just as My fellow workers on earth must have overcome the world in order to be able to work for the benefit of their fellow human beings. Thus worldly minded people cannot be accepted as labourers in My vineyard, for they will never work in accordance with My will but pursue their own interests, since they are driven to do so by the lord of the world, to whom they still belong. But I have enough means and ways to achieve My objective even without such 'assistants'. Love always has to be part of it if success is to be achieved, and love will also recognise My Word as an invaluable gift of grace and therefore also support it.

And thus you will also recognise your true fellow workers who gladly offer their help, and you will not hesitate to accept their help; and you will also know that My blessing only rests on your work when all of you carry it out with love and don't expect any worldly benefits from it .... For as you receive it you shall also pass it on; as My love has an effect on you, your love, too, should have an effect on your fellow human being. And this happens when My Word is unselfishly distributed, which is conveyed to you from above and, as the most valuable gift of grace, shall impart help and strength to people in their spiritual adversity during the last days, so that they will endure until the end ....

Amen

Low spiritual level ....

B.D. 7810 from January 28th 1961, taken from Book No. 82

A substantial spiritual decline is noticeable amongst humanity. And this will manifest itself ever more distinctly the closer it gets to the end. For people consider their God and Creator increasingly less, the concept of faith is becoming ever more unreal to them, they are reflecting ever less often about the meaning and purpose of their earthly life and are therefore also increasingly less willing to acknowledge a spiritual kingdom, because they only live for this earthly kingdom and content themselves with what the world has to offer. Hence, they live on earth completely without purpose; they don't use this last short time of their existence on this earth for their spiritual development and so they make the whole path of preliminary development pointless too, because they will descend into the deepest abyss again when the end of this earth has come, because even in the kingdom of the beyond they would hardly achieve progress since they are and will remain thoroughly unenlightened. And since the majority of people are in this spiritual state, no change is to be expected on this earth and God will have to implement a change so that the path of higher development can be continued by the spiritual substances which are still bound in the works of creation on earth, which have not reached the stage of human beings yet. For their further development will also be at risk once the human race has become totally unspiritual and, in its ignorance, will often even take the opportunity to progress away from these spirits. Consequently, this state amongst humanity provides the reason for a total spiritual and earthly change, which you humans are facing. Were you to live according to lawful order, then spiritual progress would be guaranteed for all spiritual beings, which, partly constrained, partly in freedom, live on earth. But then there would not be such a low spiritual level that people would walk about completely without faith and do nothing at all for their soul which, in the state of a human being, should mature fully in order to enter the spiritual kingdom as a free being in light and strength ....

People have handed themselves over to God's adversary, they are enslaved and only comply with his will, and that means that they exist entirely without love, that they are spiritually unenlightened and don't use their earthly life to spiritualise their soul. And therefore this state has to be brought to an end, order has to be restored once more so that the earth will become a school for the spiritual being again which, embodied as a human being, goes through the last stage of its development. And the adversary's activity will have to be brought to an end by God .... This is therefore the reason why you humans are approaching the end of this earth, and it will be pointed out to you time after time so that you will still change after all and become aware of your actual purpose of life. Without God you will go astray and will have to languish for an endless length of time once again at this distance from God, which only signifies profound wretchedness for the spiritual being which once originated from God .... You ought to still look for God as long as you have the opportunity on earth, and He will certainly allow Himself to be found by you. And you need only once seriously dwell on yourselves; you only need the will not to have lived your earthly life in vain .... And thoughts will surely arise in you which will provide you with a small light. Yet you cannot attain beatitude against your will, against your will you cannot become enlightened .... And if your hearts are hardened then you cannot be spared the renewed banishment, which is the fate of all of those who do not believe in a God and Creator, to Whom they owe their earthly life and to Whom all power is given in Heaven and on Earth .... Then they will approach their downfall with certainty, for the time will quickly come to an end, the earth will soon be shaped anew so that it will fulfil its purpose again: to help the spiritual beings attain full maturity, as is their destiny ....

Love one another ....

B.D. 7811 from January 30th 1961, taken from Book No. 82

One law applies to all of you, that you shall love one another and thereby also prove your common bond with Me. And even if you are bothered by the thought that you have no inner bond with your fellow human being whom you should love, you shall nevertheless remember his soul which is still subject to the constraint of the body, and you shall know that the soul belongs to Me even if its will is still opposing Me. For you are all My children and therefore shall consider your fellow human being as your brother and strive towards the Father together. Love shall unite you, then you will demonstrate that you are children of the same Father. And this love shall stop you from every suspicion or judgment of your neighbour, love shall help you bear his every weakness and fault; you should only ever bear in mind that his soul can still have a low degree of maturity and the human being therefore behaves as he does, even if you dislike it. You should not pass harsh judgments for then you will also motivate Me to judge you in the same way, for not one of you is without fault, not one of you has as yet reached a degree of maturity which excludes imperfections and weaknesses, and yet I endure you with greater than great love and patience and don't pass harsh judgments upon you. And therefore I gave you the commandment: love your neighbour as yourselves .... If you fulfil this commandment of neighbourly love then you will spread a merciful veil across his faults and weaknesses, and you will only ever try to help him and only ever awaken mutual love in him if you let him feel your love.

With these Word I address all those of you who are still inclined to expose your neighbour's faults, for thereby you demonstrate your own lack of love which subsequently gives you no right to judge your neighbour. And by doing so you become sinful yourselves, for you contravene the commandment of love .... Therefore, if you want to be My children you must also make an effort to fulfil the Father's will, which only ever wants you to love one other or else you belong to My adversary, who is devoid of all love and always tries to influence you into opposing the law of love. And do you love your brother if you are angry with him? If you emphasise his flaws and weaknesses, if you judge him harshly? You must learn to endure his weakness and help him .... Then you will carry out My will, and then your conduct will also result in blessings, you will gain him as your friend, he will take your example to heart and will want to emulate you, and his inner being will be full of love for you as well, for love awakens love in response, and then you will also prove that you are the children of the same Father, Whose nature is pure love. And then My love will embrace you ever more closely and your hearts will become increasingly more willing to love, so that they will pass this love on to the next person and then you will indeed be My true children, as it is My will ....

Amen

Lost knowledge through the fall to the deep ....

B.D. 7812 from January 31th 1961, taken from Book No. 82

Light is knowledge .... knowledge of truth .... light is divine wisdom, which can only emanate from God, Who is the light from eternity .... And this light once shone through you when you came forth from God as independent beings .... And you were able to recognize everything, no knowledge was closed to you, you brightly and clearly recognized all correlations, and you were blissfully happy because you stood in supreme wisdom and also recognized that you had come forth from a supremely perfect being, that this being was the creator and designer of you all, Who made you namelessly happy .... This awareness was an extremely blissful state which would never have been lost to you if you yourselves had not voluntarily given it up. For in spite of the brightest light, in spite of the brightest knowledge, you yourselves chose darkness .... You turned away from the source of light, from your creator and father, and you voluntarily turned to a being which itself fell into darkness and also spread this darkness over you .... you voluntarily gave away light and bliss. The state you now found yourselves in would never have changed again, for the darkness held you captive and at the same time you had also forfeited strength and freedom .... You were helplessly exposed to the power of the one who had placed you in this dark state, who was the cause of your fall into the abyss .... And now you humans ask yourselves why the creator of these beings allowed them to fall away from Him, why they gave up the light and sank into darkness .... you ask yourselves why He Himself did not prevent them from distancing themselves from Him, to Whom all power belonged and Whose nature is love and wisdom .... And this question can only ever be answered to you that God's love is so great that He wanted to make the beings even more happy and that His wisdom foresaw from eternity the aim of this fall into the abyss, which consisted of being able to work and create with beings like Him for once, but which He could never place out of His power in this degree of perfection .... because the latter required free will and this therefore had to decide (prove?) itself first. God truly did not force any of His created beings into this fall into the abyss. The beings that fell away were also by no means predetermined .... it would also have been possible for the first-created spirit .... Lucifer .... would have been free to remain with God, for the creator and father of eternity is truly great enough to provide supreme bliss for the beings which remained faithful to Him, and no being needed to take the fall into the abyss but their will was completely free and they chose God or His first-created light bearer .... But the unsurpassable wisdom of God had also included a fall into the abyss in His plan, which was for the creation of right 'children' of God .... a work which the beings have to accomplish themselves but which brings them exceeding great bliss. People will never be able to comprehend this fall into the abyss, for they will also never be able to fathom God's wise plans because they are not capable of doing so in their still imperfect state. For due to the fall into the abyss the being has lost 'realization', the light, the knowledge of all correlations, and you humans are still in this state of darkness, even though you can already become enlightened through the working of the spirit .... But in order to grasp everything you must have already entered the state of perfection again, and then you will only see the aim, which is exceedingly glorious .... Then you will also recognize God's infinite love and His unsurpassable wisdom, and you will know that He can only act well and wisely .... and that He wants to make His beings, which came forth from Him, abundantly happy .... And then you will no longer ask but faithfully wait for your perfection, where light and strength and freedom will create unlimited bliss for you, where you can work as His 'children' with and through Him, as was and is His aim from eternity ...._>Amen

Light of realisation through God's address ....

B.D. 7813 from February 1st 1961, taken from Book No. 82

Understand that you are being enlightened if I educate you Myself. You are on the path of return to Me if you yourselves offer Me the opportunity to speak to you Myself .... be it directly or through My messengers, who bring My Word to you. Then the darkness will recede from you, knowledge will be revealed to you, you will gain realisation of yourselves again, of your origin, your apostasy and your goal .... You will no longer be as spiritually blind as you became through your apostasy from Me. You had separated yourselves from Me, the Eternal Light, and therefore had to be without light .... At first, all awareness was taken from you and you existed in profound darkness, bound by My will in earthly creations, yet only in order to remove you from the adversary's influence .... However, you possessed no light .... And even in the stage of a human being you are still spiritually unenlightened until you give Me the opportunity to illuminate you again with My light .... And that happens when you allow Me Myself to speak to you. Then the state of darkness will gradually change into a state of brightest realisation again, and then you can consider yourselves fortunate, because it is the sign that you are on the path of return into your Father's house, that your goal is not far away anymore and that you will surely reach it too .... The human being on earth does not experience this lack of light because he is satisfied with many different deceptive lights, but they have no radiance and cannot enlighten a person's inner being .... But the time on earth is given to him so that he can dispel the darkness .... so that he can strive towards the light and defeat the darkness of spirit .... and thereby gain realisation. And I Am always willing to kindle a light in you, providing you want to attain the light of realisation. And one such light is My direct address, which you can hear when you desire to become enlightened. But then you will also start to live .... to live a spiritual life which then will never ever end again and which will make you incredibly happy and change you into the being again that you were in the beginning. For as soon as you possess a light you will also take the right path, and this leads upwards, back into your Father's house .... Darkness is the worst state for a spiritual being, because it no longer recognises itself nor Me as its Father and therefore won't strive towards Me either and thus can remain in darkness for an infinitely long time .... But time and again I try to send a ray of light into the human heart which ignites and enlightens the heart from within; that is, I time and again guide a person's thoughts such that he will look for his God and desires light, that he would like to know more about Me and his own relationship with Me .... And then I will indeed kindle a light in him and make the right knowledge accessible to him which will please him and make him desire more information. And once the spiritual darkness is penetrated he will also step out of the night into the bright light of morning, and the sun of the spirit will shine on him and illuminate his path .... And he will find Me without fail and want to join Me again, he will irrevocably unite with Me and in unity with Me once again be blissfully happy in light and strength and freedom as he was in the beginning ....

Amen

The right prayer and its fulfilment ....

B.D. 7814 from February 2nd 1961, taken from Book No. 82

The power of prayer is immense as long as you also firmly believe in My love and My might, for you are sure to achieve much if you faithfully entrust yourselves to Me and appeal to Me for help. Only your heartfelt bond with Me is important to Me so that you are so close when you speak to Me that I must also hear you .... For I don't merely want your lips to voice words without having entered into heartfelt contact with Me. Prayer is the bridge you should use frequently, even if you only ask Me to give you the strength for your daily course of pilgrimage .... But I will not deny Myself to you, I will truly fill you with strength so that the bond with Me, which is the purpose and goal of your earthly existence, will become ever deeper. Then your faith will become consistently stronger because your heartfelt bond with Me is the guarantee that I will not refuse you anything and because your faith will become ever more alive in you, for then you will feel Me so close to you that you will experience your God and Father, you will realise His presence and be able to work with His strength .... Your faith can achieve anything, in other words: you know that every prayer in this living faith will also be granted. Through your heartfelt bond with Me you surrender your will to Mine, and whatever you ask for will also always be My will and therefore I can grant you every request. And you should make use of this power of prayer and always know that I love you and want to give you joy. You should not let doubts in My love and power arise in you, for it is limitless ....

And therefore every individual person's life could be an easy one, everyone could spend his earthly life without worry, because nothing is impossible for Me and because My love wants to give you whatever you desire. But once you are closely united with Me you will no longer want anything that might contradict My will, for you may also ask Me to grant you earthly wishes, given that you still live in the midst of the world and have to do justice to its demands and because I do not begrudge you earthly joys if they do not interfere with your spiritual striving. And I can certainly judge this best, and therefore I say to you: By all means step onto this bridge and make use of the power of prayer .... For I want to win all your love and therefore want to make you happy, so that you will keep taking the path to Me, so that you will let Me be present with you in your prayer and thereby the child will unite with its Father and matures in its soul. For I only speak of the right kind of prayer .... of the prayer in spirit and in truth, which always demonstrates the child's correct relationship with its Father. And I said to you 'Ask, and it shall be given to you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you ....' I promised to grant your prayers and yet only ever meant the right kind of prayer from a child to its Father. And a true child will also trust its Father and will therefore never be disappointed ....

Amen

Vineyard work has a redemptive effect in the afterlife ....

B.D. 7815 from February 3rd 1961, taken from Book No. 82

You, My messengers, must always appeal for My blessing; you may not tackle any spiritual work without having appealed to Me for My support and My blessing, for you require great support from Me so that you can fulfil your task. Yet I know about your will and am always ready to help, for your work is extremely important since it is to convey My word to people which sounds to you from above. People no longer attach any importance to the book of books; it is nothing more than other books for them, even though it contains the most important things, even though it announces My will and informs people about their purpose of earthly life. But they no longer respect it as 'God's word' or they would live more responsibly. And therefore I want to point them to their earthly task again, I want to proclaim My will to them again, I want to familiarize them with the divine teaching of love and make the knowledge of their relationship with their God and creator accessible to them .... I want to bring them 'My word' again in order to direct their thoughts towards the spiritual kingdom so that their souls will mature in this earthly life. And therefore I need you to pass on My word, which sounds to you directly from above .... to those who willingly accept it, whose hearts I know and whom I therefore want to address through you. And you need strength for this work for Me and My kingdom, but I will gladly impart it to you at any time because you want to utilize it in My will, because you declare your willingness to be active for Me and My kingdom. But you should also never neglect to approach Me for My blessing, for again and again you want to seek Me in close contact; I want you to appeal to Me because I want to grant your requests so that you will also recognize your God and creator as your father Who only ever wants to make His children happy. And I will always be with you with My blessing, I will guide you so that you will always take the right path, I will direct your thoughts so that they are right and pleasing to Me, I will increase your strength so that you will always be able to do the right work for Me, and you should never be despondent that you might lack strength. For you do not know to what extent your strength has a redeeming effect. Yet be satisfied with My assurance that countless souls will receive strength when you are spiritually active. For this is My blessing which rests on your activity, that it is not done in vain, that it has an effect which you are unable to estimate, for the spiritual world knows no limits, and the effect of your activity extends into this spiritual world, and therefore it will also be blessed by Me. Not only do you serve Me, you also serve your brothers and sisters who are still in need in the spiritual kingdom, and they will be eternally grateful to you, for only then will they recognize where they can fetch the true light and truly take advantage of every opportunity to receive spiritual nourishment, which they all need. But they can only be helped by people who intimately unite with Me, so that My strength will now also be made accessible to them through them, because they are not yet mature enough to receive it directly, because the law of eternal order has to be adhered to .... because love has to develop if the unfortunate is to be helped, and thus you offer this love to Me vicariously if you are willing to help the souls which are in spiritual hardship. And for the sake of your love they will also be helped .... And My blessing will rest on every spiritual activity, for this will then also have a redeeming effect ...._>Amen

The right concept of God ....

B.D. 7816 from February 4th 1961, taken from Book No. 82

And it will be revealed to you through My spirit that there is only one God and that this God manifested Himself in Jesus Christ, because He is a Spirit. It was not possible for Me to become visible to My created beings as a limited Being, but in Jesus Christ I became a 'visible' God for all My living creations, and therefore you cannot speak of Jesus Christ and the Father, for I Am one with Him, so when you speak of Jesus Christ you are speaking of Me, your God and Creator, your Father of eternity .... For the infant Jesus sheltered My spirit within Himself, and after His birth I was already remarkably active in Him in order to show the people in His neighbourhood that My spirit dwelt within the infant. The man Jesus exhaled his last breath on the cross .... Jesus body, however, was spiritualised and He rose from the dead .... For all His substances had merged with Me, My spirit had permeated body and soul and nothing human remained in Him .... What arose from the dead on the third day was I Myself, the Father-Spirit of eternity, the God Whom the beings desired to behold and Who had now manifested Himself in the outward appearance of Jesus Christ ....

Jesus Christ is 'God', for I Am a Spirit and thus became visible to all My beings in the shape of Jesus Christ, and you cannot visualise Me in any other way than the divine Redeemer Jesus Christ .... And if you want to call upon Me, if you want to make contact with Me, you have to call upon Jesus Christ, you have to talk to Him, you have to acknowledge Him as your Father of eternity, and then you will also have the right concept of God .... which, however, can never be right if you pray separately to Me as 'God' and to Jesus Christ as 'Son of God' .... The soul which dwelt in the man Jesus was My 'Son' .... a supremely perfect being created by Me which remained with Me when the great apostasy of the spirits took place ....

And this 'Son of God' made it possible for Me to embody Myself in a human shell .... so that the complete merger of the eternal Father-Spirit with Jesus Christ could take place, but then there no longer existed two separate beings but only one God, for the 'divine Spirit', My fundamental nature, utterly permeated the human shell and likewise spiritualised it .... Everything was 'divine Spirit' it was the Spirit which permeates all of infinity and merely manifested Itself in a form visible to people, so that they were able to develop a concept of Me, so that they were able to pray to a Being in order to unite with this Being .... For the original sin of the spirits' apostasy consisted of their voluntary 'separation' from Me because they were unable to behold Me. And thus I provided for them the possibility of willingly joining with Me again by making Myself visible to them in Jesus Christ. But you must never separate 'Jesus Christ' and 'Myself' .... For He and I are one; and whoever calls upon Him also calls upon Me .... whoever sees Him sees Me, Who is and was eternal and shall remain so in all eternity ....

Amen

Love for God must be demonstrated ....

B.D. 7817 from February 5th 1961, taken from Book No. 82

Whatever you do to the least of My brothers you have done to Me. And thus every act of neighbourly love is valued by Me as if you had done love to Me Myself, and I reciprocate this love a thousand fold, for My love for you is boundless and wants to give itself away. And therefore you can gather immense wealth for yourselves through works of unselfish neighbourly love, but the words “I love God” will never suffice for Me, for they have to be proven through works. Now you can love your neighbour spiritually and earthly, for he will always need spiritual and earthly help. Earthly hardship need not always be obvious to you; spiritual hardship, however, exists as soon as the fellow human being does not believe in Me, as soon as he does not recognize his earthly task, as soon as he has only directed his thoughts worldly .... And this spiritual hardship is far greater than the earthly hardship, and then you should help him, you should give him what he needs: You should try to persuade him to believe in Me, you should preach to him about My love, about My everlasting endeavour to win back My children who still belong to My adversary, which is proven by their unbelief in Me. And then you will truly do works of neighbourly love for which I want to bless you. What you do to the least of My brothers you have done to Me. You should take care of his soul's well-being because he, too, is My living creation which I want to win as a child. And therefore you shall always proclaim My teaching of love, you shall speak to all who do not yet know Me, you shall bring My word to them .... you shall give Me the opportunity to address them through you, for they are truly in spiritual distress as long as they are not fed with the bread of heaven, as long as they are not given the water of life so that they can refresh themselves and strengthen themselves for their pilgrimage .... Give them a drink of fresh water, physically and spiritually, and you will truly be rewarded for this service of love, because your neighbour suffers hardship but you can remedy this hardship and satisfy their hunger and thirst. Earthly your neighbour will not always need you but spiritually he will always be in need, for the flock of My own is small and shall still be increased before the end. And I alone know the hardship people are in and that they still have to be helped if I don't want them to get lost. And you shall give them this help because you have the opportunity to address them in My name and because I cannot work on them in an unusual way .... Therefore always remember that you work on My behalf when you convey My word into the world, when you thereby help those who are in spiritual hardship, who have not yet found the path to Me, who are truly poor and need to be fed and watered .... Always remember that you are giving them the right nourishment for their souls in My stead and that these are services of love which the neighbour needs if he, too, is to fulfil his earthly task of which he is not yet fully aware .... And believe that you thereby prove your love for Me, which will truly be rewarded to you as I have promised you .... Think of your neighbour and his spiritual hardship and then you will also find the right path to his heart, you will be able to recite My word to him, you will be able to point out to him the unusual grace in which you yourselves stand, that you are taught by Me directly, and you will cause him to think about himself and his earthly task .... And then you will have already rendered him a service which will not remain without success. For there is great hardship amongst people and everything shall still be done to help them before the end comes. For I want to win every soul for Myself so that it will be released from My adversary and reach its aim on earth ...._>Amen

Renewal of the earth and paradise ....

B.D. 7818 from February 6th 1961, taken from Book No. 82

And the world will have to renew itself, i.e., the earth will bear completely new creations in which everything spiritual is testified to in the righteous order; and people will also live again in the order which underlies everything created by Me .... A new earth will replace the old one, because the latter no longer serves the purpose of being a training station for the spiritual .... And thus a new time will dawn, it will be a turning point spiritually and earthly, a redemption period will be broken off and a new one will begin which will bring much of the fallen spiritual back to Me again .... And this renewal of the earth has to take place, otherwise a standstill, if not a great decline in development is to occur, which is only ever time-consuming for this unfree spiritual substance, which one day shall find its complete redemption from the form. You don't want to believe that you humans of the present time are in this significant time of transformation, for this is an event which has not yet taken place on this earth, i.e. in the period of time which encompasses this last period of redemption, although many phases of development have already preceded it but which you cannot determine in time because this is not necessary for your spiritual development. But you are now facing the end of such an earth period, and you will also still experience unusual signs and things so that you could truly believe in an end of this earth. But as soon as you increase your spiritual knowledge, as soon as you make it possible through your will that you receive spiritual instructions which guarantee you the truth, it will not seem impossible to you that the earth is about to be renewed, because then you will be initiated into My eternal plan of salvation, because then you will grasp the correlations and learn to understand Me and My rule and activity, which is determined by love and wisdom and therefore cannot be anything but good. And you will also realize that people's spiritual low can almost no longer be surpassed and that this already necessitates a change so that a time of upward development will follow again, so that My living creations' return into the father's house is guaranteed. For the earth has a task to help the once fallen creatures to become children of God. And it will fulfil this task again in its new state where everything will be in just order again and where people will also recognize and love Me again and be blissfully happy. For the people on the new earth have proven themselves in their last test and their souls are already in a state of maturity which opens up beatitudes for them, and therefore they can be transferred to the new earth as the stock of the new generation and be teachers again for those who come after them and who are therefore also devoted to Me in love and will achieve their full spiritualization very quickly because satan is bound and can no longer oppress them ..... because the love in them is so strong that the souls mature through this love and need no tempter because they are completely devoted to Me. Hence they need not be tested in their direction of will but have already passed the test because they are conceived in pure, selfless love in My will .... And the new earth will truly be a paradise because everything moves in divine order, because I Myself can be in the midst of My own and because My adversary is bound again for an infinitely long time .... until he, too, will once rise again when the time has come for him to fight for human souls again ...._>Amen

Worldly pleasures? ....

B.D. 7819 from February 7th 1961, taken from Book No. 82

You have been granted a small measure of self-love by Me, and therefore you may also enjoy the pleasures of life as long as they do not affect your soul's salvation. And to recognize this only requires a will turned towards Me, it only requires the firm resolution to live according to My will and to reach your spiritual aim which has been set for you for your earthly life. If this will controls you, that you want to return to Me again, that you don't want to go against My will, then you are also on the path of return to Me, then you have already passed your test of will to a certain extent, you have inwardly professed Me, and then you will also reach your aim because I will support you in every way. And then even the small pleasures you occasionally prepare for yourselves earthly will not harm you. For then you will know exactly how to measure yourselves because you will obey the voice of conscience which warns you against every exaggeration. You can confidently be happy with the happy, you can enjoy your existence if only you always remember your neighbour so that he is not sad while you are happy, for then he is in need and then you should help him .... Therefore I have given you the commandment to love your neighbour as yourselves. And if you observe this commandment then you also have the right to prepare little pleasures for yourselves. And everyone will also know which pleasures are permissible if he is already on the path of spiritual striving, if he does not exclude Me from his thoughts, if he puts salvation before everything else for his soul, for then he can only enjoy things which are no danger for his soul. Then he will have a fine sense if and when he violates My will because he does not want to sin, just as, on the other hand, he will have an aversion of his own accord to worldly pleasures which harm his soul. Love your neighbour as yourself .... This commandment therefore also contains a certain entitlement to a measure of self-love, and you should only ever make sure that you don't exceed this measure. For it also obliges you towards your neighbour, to whom you should then bestow the same measure of love. Therefore, if you no longer had the slightest self-love, then the obligation towards your neighbour would also only be slight. But blessed is he who reduces self-love in favour of his neighbour .... For he truly fulfils My commandment for My joy .... But the small pleasures which you sometimes give yourselves must never be a diminution of your love for your neighbour, and you must also be willing to give them away at any time if you can help your neighbour by doing so. And you will also always recognize what is right and what is wrong as long as you want to maintain the bond with Me with a pure heart .... you will not act against My will, and you will also be protected against temptations of all kinds as long as you seek to fulfil My will alone .... For then you will inwardly resist all such temptations and also receive the strength to resist from Me. For I act like a true father towards you who want to be and remain My children, and a father protects his child from every danger ...._>Amen

Power supply .... love-willingness .... truth ....

B.D. 7820 from February 8th 1961, taken from Book No. 82

The ascent requires strength, for a soul without strength will never reach its aim. However, at the beginning of its embodiment as a human being the soul is without strength, for it first has to develop love within itself and possess knowledge of a God to Whom it can pray and appeal for strength. If the human being is particularly willing to love then he will also quickly attain this knowledge, because love is the reason that he will be taught from within .... that he will therefore have right thoughts as soon as the human being is able to occupy himself intellectually, i.e. once he has matured to such an extent that he thinks and draws conclusions himself. Moreover, in his youth he is mostly taught spiritual things, even though he is not always offered truth. But he becomes .... as soon as he is willing to love .... soon have a good sense of discernment for the spiritual thought material which is offered to him. And he will also seek the bond with God of his own accord and then also receive the strength to ascend to the height. Anyone who does not establish such a bond, who is in no way willing to love, will only live a purely worldly life, all thoughts of a God or an earthly task will remain distant from him, or he will chase them away if he is encouraged by his fellow human beings to make a statement. Thus he is without strength and always remains on the same level, he cannot ascend because he lacks all strength to do so. But it is up to him if he has no spiritual progress to report, for his free will must determine his bond with God and his unselfish activity of love, he is not forced to do so .... And there is no other help for him than that love is preached to him again and again, than that he is repeatedly pointed to a God to Whom he will one day have to answer .... And if truthful knowledge is conveyed to him, then it is possible that it will not remain without impression, because only truth has the right effect on the soul and because through truth the human being can also attain a right image of God Himself, the creator and sustainer of the universe, and then the desire can also arise in him to unite with this God and creator. Only truth has the power to influence the human being in the right way, although free will remains with him. And therefore it is extremely necessary that pure truth is conveyed to people and that these .... as soon as it is conveyed to earth by God Himself .... must also be made accessible to people, for it alone can still bring salvation to people whose hearts are too unwilling to love to come to the right realization on their own and seek the bond with God. But this is necessary because the human being needs the supply of strength from God in order to ascend and reach the aim. And it is a great blessing if a person is able to pray correctly .... which, admittedly, first requires faith in a God Who can and want to help .... A right prayer will always earn the person strength, and the supply of truth can also cause the person to pray such a right prayer .... And then he cannot get lost either once he has found the right bond with God; then he will not remain powerless but will always be allowed to experience God's love anew, Who does not want to lose any soul and therefore does everything to help the human being attain the right faith, which then is also a guarantee for a close bond with Him and for a safe ascent to the height ...._>Amen

God sets increased graces against the work of the adversary ....

B.D. 7821 from February 9th 1961, taken from Book No. 82

The power of the adversary in the end time is great, but only because you humans yourselves grant him this power. His appendix .... thus everything spiritual that still walks the earth unredeemed as a human being .... supports this power itself as soon as it is active in his will, as soon as it allows itself to be influenced by him, who can only exert his influence on its soul in time as a human being. However, as soon as the human being resists him he also has no power over him, for spiritual coercion is impossible for him since it concerns the human being's free decision of will. Hence you can never say that you were overpowered by God's adversary against your will, but if you allow yourselves to be influenced by him and misused for evil activity, then this is your free will .... You therefore strengthen his power .... And this becomes more and more apparent the closer the end is. You don't resist his influence, you are always willing to give in to his urging, and therefore you strengthen his power which he now uses in the most shameful way by increasingly trying to dissuade people from believing in God, by driving people to most shameful deeds. And the human being does not defend himself .... and yet could do so if only he would call upon Jesus Christ for help against him .... Such a call will never be in vain, the human being will receive strength to resist, he will recognize the evil which wants to pull him down, he will resist and, once he has made this attempt, he will turn to God ever more in order to get free from the adversary. But only a few people seek help from Jesus Christ. Few only recognize the adversary's game and seek to prevent it .... He has the upper hand, people have mostly fallen prey to him, and therefore the apostasy from God, the apostasy from faith in Jesus Christ as divine redeemer, is becoming ever greater and more obvious, for this is the adversary's ultimate aim, to deprive people of all faith. And his increased activity in the last days is the reason why God also pours out increased grace upon people in order to help those who do not want to surrender to the adversary but are severely oppressed. They receive grace upon grace, they are given strength to resist and God Himself stands by their side so that they need not succumb .... This is why God also addresses people .... He lets His word reach them again, He speaks to them through the mouth of a servant, and He gives them extraordinary strength through the supply of His word. And thus every person can free himself from the adversary's power who only seriously wants it. For the human being's will is decisive, the will alone curtails the opponent's power or strengthens it, and the human being's will is free. But the human being must also request the strength to resist in order to thereby give expression to his will which is directed towards God .... He must seek the connection with Jesus Christ and remain in this connection, because then he is also connected with God Himself, Who embodied Himself in Jesus Christ .... For God and Jesus Christ are one .... And as soon as you humans only believe this you will also constantly request strength and never be at the mercy of the adversary's will to destroy, for Jesus Christ .... Whom you now acknowledge .... has overcome him, and to His power he must give way. And he will also have to let go of you as soon as you hold on to Jesus Christ, for if you stand on His side then the adversary will have lost you to Him irretrievably, then God Himself will fight on your side and you will be victorious and no longer need to fear him, he will let go of you because he flees God and His light ...._>Amen

Prerequisite for the 'outpouring of the spirit' ....

B.D. 7822 from February 10th 1961, taken from Book No. 82

The outpouring of the spirit requires certain conditions to be fulfilled, because My spirit can only pour into an open receptacle which has been prepared such that My spirit will be able to flow into it. This preparation, in turn, requires psychological work which the person must have carried out on himself, with other words: The human being must have prepared an abode for Me, because My presence is absolutely necessary in order to be able to express Myself through My spirit. Although the spiritual spark rests dormant in every person it must first be awakened to life, the relationship with the eternal Father-Spirit must be established first, before it can express itself. And this bond will be established, the spiritual spark will come alive, when the human being lives a life of love, when he, through loving actions, draws Me Myself to himself, Who is Love Itself .... Through love, the human being has to purify his soul from all layers which cannot be penetrated by light, then he prepares himself, he shapes himself into a receiving vessel for the divine spirit, he fulfils the conditions which result in an outpouring of the spirit. And he must believe that My spirit flows into him, that the Father wants and is able to speak to His child .... And again, he will only believe this if he shapes himself into love .... for only when he believes in a working of My spirit within himself will he also attentively listen within to what this spirit communicates to him. As long as this belief is missing, he will never be able to speak of a 'gift of the spirit', he will simply not awaken the dormant forces within him and, thus, they will not be able to express themselves either, although they are present in him. Love will, however, soon enlighten his thinking, this is why a loving person will also soon be able to believe if his striving is spiritually-orientated, and he tries to live in accordance with My will.

Yet My spirit will not push itself to the fore .... no human being will ever hear the voice of My spirit who has not consciously established a bond with Me in order to hear Me .... For it requires him to listen inwards if he wants to hear Me and receive instructions full of wisdom, which only My spirit can impart to him. And precisely this belief in the working of My spirit has been lost by people so that they look at a completely natural process, which was only intended to demonstrate My great love for people, with utter incredulity, even though I Myself gave them a promise to stay with people and to guide them into all truth .... They don't understand this promise or they would believe in it and grant greater significance to My Word which sounds to them from above or is passed on to them through My messengers .... My spirit merely requires a prepared vessel so that it can pour into it .... Then, however, He will also give evidence of Himself, It will speak to you like a Father speaks to His children, and He will enlighten you whenever you desire to be taught by Him. But He cannot express Himself where love and faith are missing, where the human being has not carried out the work of improving his soul by shaping himself into love and having already discarded all impurities of his soul. For I can only take abode in a pure heart full of love which can bear My presence .... However, wherever these prerequisites are present that is where I dwell and testify to My presence .... I pour out My spirit over all flesh .... I teach and comfort, I guide people into truth, I remain with them until the end of the world ....

Amen

And consider this a spiritual success if you are asked to convey My word to those who do not receive it directly from Me. For every person who desires to be addressed by Me is also on the path to Me, and I can also influence him, and I can also send him strength which will always help him further in his development. And this is why it is so extremely significant if you succeed in pointing your fellow human beings to My word, if you once make it possible for My word to sound to them through you .... if you can motivate your fellow human beings to immerse themselves in My word so that the strength from Me can overflow, for then the desire to hear My word again and again will also be awakened. And then a real spiritual success can be recorded, for the human being's bond with Me has been established through his desire to hear Me. You don’t know what your cooperation means in My plan of salvation. What I cannot do Myself you can do if you once enable Me to speak to you .... It is then your own will that determines whether your heart will open itself to My address. But the beginning has been made. The fellow human being's thoughts will first be directed towards an unusual event which he will then deal with. But it all happens without coercion .... For even My adversary cannot forcibly influence the human being's will not to listen to Me. It is all his free will which, however, will always receive support as soon as I recognize the slightest devotion to Me. There are not many who desire My address, and there are not many who accept My gift of grace from you .... And yet, this should not discourage you in your vineyard work, for you yourselves don't know that all spiritual work draws wide circles around you .... And you also don't know what effects My word can have again which are hidden from you. And My word cannot pass away either, My word will remain in existence for all eternity .... It is full of strength and will therefore emanate its power again and again, regardless of whether on earth or in the spiritual kingdom .... For My word also resounds everywhere where I-conscious beings are .... My word permeates all of infinity, for I Myself am the word, and I will let My strength emanate wherever it is needed. Only there must always be receptive beings which open themselves and accept the flow of strength from Me .... My word must not find any resistance, it must be accepted willingly, no matter in which way it sounds. And when the ground on earth is well prepared for Myself by My servants so that I can scatter My seed .... when My messengers bring My word to willing people on My behalf, then such a great blessing can be expected from it that none of My vineyard labourers need become disheartened, for once My word has touched a person's heart he will not want to miss it again forever, and then he will also be an eager proclaimer of My word himself, for the strength which emanates from My word impels him into constant activity, it will not let him rest, and the work of salvation will take its course according to My will, yet without any coercion. And this is the blessing of every spiritual activity, that it demands the bond with Me, that My strength can now constantly work, that My word now finds entrance into many human hearts which do not reject it, and that these are also saved from ruin .... that they take the right path to Me and to eternal life ...._>Amen

The endless-long walk of the fallen original spirit ....

B.D. 7824 from February 13th 1961, taken from Book No. 82

The path of development of the fallen spiritual extends over endless times because the resistance was so great before the spiritual could be banished into the firmest matter and the dissolving of this already required endless times. As a result the material cover became increasingly looser but there were an infinite number of deformations through which the spiritual had to pass, for in its dissolved substances it animated every work of creation for a certain time, which will one day be evident to the spiritually-able-to-see in the shaping of the soul .... The further the development progressed, the quicker the spiritual substance could leave the respective form again, for the form which enveloped it became increasingly lighter and looser until finally all particles of a fallen original spirit had gathered again to animate the last form of the human being as a 'soul' .... It is certainly possible to speak of eternities which such a course of development has taken, but one day it will also come to an end, one day the soul will have reached the stage where it can embody itself as a human being, where it will regain ego-consciousness and free will. But this last time as a human being is only a moment in time compared to the previous course through the whole of creation .... But now the last decision is demanded of the once fallen original spirit: the recognition of God in free will, Whom he once did not want to recognize as his God and creator .... And it is truly made easy for the human being to make the right decision of his free will. But the will is not forced .... And now, during his time as a human being on earth, he will be worked on again by God's adversary whom he had once followed into the abyss .... And this one again seeks to take away or destroy people's faith in a God and creator in order to be able to continue to keep his former following for himself. Nevertheless, the human being is not without help, for his God and creator also struggles for his soul because His infinite love wants to win him back again. And He truly does everything to make the human being's decision easy .... He reveals Himself to him as God and creator in every way and also conveys the knowledge to him .... Yet He also respects the human being's free will, He also does not force him to make the right decision .... But man has already reached a certain maturity so that it is possible for him to make the right decision, and he is constantly cared for by the love of God .... For God's love reveals Itself to him again and again in order to also win the human being's love. Hence the short time as a human being can bring the former original spirit full redemption from the form, because the act of salvation has been accomplished for him, which brings him strengthening of will if only he acknowledges the divine redeemer Jesus Christ .... for then he also acknowledges God Himself in Jesus Christ, and his will has made the right decision. And therefore it is the most important thing in earthly life that the human being finds Jesus Christ, that he hands himself over to the divine redeemer and appeals to Him for strengthening of will, for forgiveness of his original sin and for His constant help for his earthly path .... And truly, he will cover his earthly life with success, he will return to God again from Whom he once originated, for he has already found Him with the acknowledgement and faith in Jesus Christ and His act of salvation. But he must not pass Him by, for without Him and His act of salvation he will not be eternally rid of his form, he will fall back into the abyss and have to start his path of development again, and he will delay it again for an infinitely long time until he is in the stage of free will again and decides correctly .... which therefore takes eternities but can also be achieved in the short time of earthly life. Yet he will never be without assistance, for God's love pursues him and seeks to shorten his path, and the being need only give up its resistance and acknowledge Him .... and it will become free from all form ...._>Amen

Revealing Jesus and His mission ....

B.D. 7825 from February 14th 1961, taken from Book No. 82

And the gate to eternal life has been opened to you through the redemptive work of Jesus Christ .... You would never have been able to enter through this gate, for the kingdom of light was inaccessible to the beings of darkness, and you will remain in darkness until the original sin which plunged you into this kingdom of darkness has been removed from you. But you are My share and I will not let go of you forever. But first you have to reshape yourselves into love, and if you have love in you, you will also push towards Jesus, Who is your redeemer, and at the same time also towards Me, Who was in Him, Who became a visible God for you in Jesus Christ. But as long as people do not know that their former apostasy from Me is the reason for their existence as human beings on this earth .... as long as they don't know that they are on their way back to Me from the abyss and only need to make use of Jesus Christ's final help in order to be completely united with Me again .... as long as they will not consciously use their earthly life as a human being for their change of nature, for the change into love. And then the earthly path can also be covered in vain. And therefore again and again people will receive information about Jesus Christ, the divine redeemer, for they must have found Him as long as they still live on earth as human beings, otherwise they will not be able to enter the kingdom of light and beatitude when their earthly life is over. Admittedly, He can still be found in the beyond if the soul is willing and calls to Him for mercy. But it is far more difficult for the soul to accept an instruction on the other side if it has rejected Him on earth. But I want you to enter My kingdom after your physical death, and therefore I repeatedly show you the path you have to take: the path to the cross .... Only through Golgotha will you reach eternal life, only through the acknowledgement of Jesus and the act of salvation, through earnestly asking for forgiveness of your guilt, will the path to the kingdom of light become free for you, to My kingdom, where I Myself await you as your saviour and redeemer, where you can see Me face to face .... And when you humans are given information about Jesus Christ, the son of God and redeemer of the world, then don't close your hearts but accept what I Myself want to impart to you about Him, in Whose shell I once walked across the earth in order to build a bridge for you from the kingdom of darkness into the kingdom of light. Desire in your heart to hear the pure truth about Him and the act of salvation, and truly, I will send it to you so that you will turn to Him and thus also take the path back to Me, Whom you acknowledge in Jesus as your God and father of eternity, if you are correctly informed about His mission on earth. Without Jesus Christ there is no salvation, without Him there is no redemption, without Him there is no light and no bliss. But I want you to become blessed, and thus I will repeatedly point you to Him, I will guide you to the truth Myself, I will reveal to you the knowledge about your sinful state and the only way to be able to release yourselves from it .... so that you will come to believe in Him and His mission .... so that you love Him for the sake of His great work of mercy and now also transfer this love to Me, Who was in Him and redeemed you humans from sin and death ...._>Amen

God is Love .... He wants to give happiness ....

B.D. 7826 from February 15th 1961, taken from Book No. 82

Believe that I want to guide you into beatitude .... Believe that you were created by a God of love in order to bestow His infinite love upon you, in order to make you happy, in order to let Himself flow into you. And believe that this love will never end, that it has belonged and will belong to you for all eternity. Then you will know that everything in relation to you only serves to guide you into beatitude. However, you must also realise and believe that you, in the state of a human being, would not be able to endure unlimited happiness and neither can My infinite love give you the degree of happiness I would like to give you .... And you are in this state because you once turned away from Me of your own free will. You closed yourselves to the flow of My love and your nature became imperfect. So you are taking the path across this Earth in order to regain your perfection again, because My love for you is greater than great and tries to make you receptive again for My illumination, as I want to make you happy. Hence, your life on earth is not pointless, instead, it shall result in highest bliss when your soul leaves the body and enters the spiritual kingdom. The earthly realm is only a passageway for your soul into the spiritual kingdom; the earthly realm is only the means for your soul to mature fully, to prepare it for My eternal light of love .... Earthly life is only a short preparation time for you humans in order to attain the state again which you were in when I created you .... For you emerged from My love, you were perfect and constantly permeated by My love which made you indescribably happy. The fact that you forfeited this beatitude of your own free will must be reversed by you of your own free will again, that is, you must voluntarily attain perfection and return to Me once more, for your separation from Me signifies wretchedness but unification with Me unlimited illumination of love and thus supreme happiness. If you are able to believe this while you live on earth, if you accept the information of this, if you want to return to Me and appeal to Me Myself for help, then you will fulfil your purpose of life on earth, for then My love will take hold of you and will never ever let go of you again, because then you will voluntarily have acknowledged Me, Whom you once rejected and therefore changed your nature into the opposite .... The fact that you are still imperfect is the result of your apostasy from Me, but you will attain perfection again if you want it yourselves, for the love I grant you is the strength to implement your will, and so you need only accept My love .... you need only hand yourselves over to Me, which requires faith in Me, and love will also be kindled in you, and it will strive towards Me and seek unification with Me. Just believe that I Am a God of love and that you emerged from this God of love .... and you will no longer doubt that I would like to give you happiness .... Then you will also learn to love Me Myself and your path across earth will lead to the goal. For My love will not rest until it can permeate you entirely. My love wants to please; it wants to make you happy for all eternity ....

Amen

Evaluation of grace .... Address of God ....

B.D. 7827 from February 16th 1961, taken from Book No. 82

You shall receive the graces with which I shower you abundantly, for you can only become blessed through graces .... And again and again you will be allowed to receive graces if only you are willing to make use of them, if only you are willing to accept My help which I grant you in the form of graces. And thus you can also consider everything as grace which helps your soul's ascent development. Every earthly adversity which drives you towards Me is a grace. But you can also remain turned away from Me despite the earthly adversity and then you will have left the grace unused .... Every indication to Me through word and scripture is a grace, and again it depends on your will whether and how you evaluate it .... And thus My direct address from above is a grace of a very special kind, it is an unusual gift of grace because it can also earn the soul an unusual maturity in a short time if the gift of grace is evaluated, if the human being takes My address to heart, if he puts My will into action .... if he is not just a listener but a doer of My word. This grace is quite significant and an exceedingly effective antidote for satan's activity to which he succumbs because My word is a right light from Me which he flees. My word is blessed with My strength and therefore, in the last days before the end, it is the most effective means of grace I can offer you humans to help you. For if you accept My word with a sincere heart then you will also join Me Myself, and in unity with Me nothing can truly happen to you anymore. And even the adversary no longer has any power over you who now walk by My side. But My word can only be heard by the one who unites with Me, and he has also turned his will towards Me .... Therefore he will also make use of every grace I bestow upon him as help for the maturing of his soul. For I especially take care of people in the end time because they are hard pressed by My adversary. They alone are too weak to resist him and need help, which I always grant them in the form of grace. The person of good will will also gratefully accept every help, and thus he will also joyfully accept My word, he will feel My nearness and also recognize My address as the father's voice .... he will feel like My child and therefore also comply with what I place into his heart as My will .... And this is the use of the gifts of grace and the safe maturing of the soul, because I will not leave anyone without help who needs and gratefully accepts them. For you can only become blessed by grace, you must receive help because otherwise you are too weak and because My adversary will still try everything in the last days to make you turn away from Me in order to win your souls, even if they have already surrendered to Me. But he will not succeed in the latter, for whose will I possess I also possess completely and will never ever let him sink back into the adversary's hands. I pour out My gifts of grace abundantly and they are truly very effective, providing the human being's will does not oppose them and nullifies the effectiveness of all graces .... But you humans shall experience My love until the end, which wants to help you and protect you from ruin ...._>Amen

God is a spirit Who has manifested Himself in Jesus ....

B.D. 7828 from February 17th 1961, taken from Book No. 82

You should not imagine your God and Creator as a strictly limited Being, you should not try to associate Him with a form, for then your idea would always be wrong, because something defined can never correspond to My nature, which is utterly perfect, thus infinite. For I Am a spirit Who fills and permeates everything. In My nature I will be eternally unfathomable for My living creations, for although My living creations were externalised by Me in supreme perfection they are nevertheless only sparks of love, emanated by the fire of My Eternal Love and externalised as individual beings who, however, would be unable to behold the eternal source of light and strength if I showed Myself to them in My full abundance of brilliance, since they would perish if they faced the radiating light ....

Yet you need not visualise Me in any other way than as the divine Redeemer Jesus Christ .... In Him I became the 'visible' God for you, in Him the eternal, infinite spirit has manifested Itself, in Him you see Me and are able to behold Him face to face .... Thus I gave Myself a form for you, whom I had externalised from My love and My strength as My living creations .... The Eternal Spirit Who fills all of infinity permeated this form with light and became a visible God for you .... And yet I reign and work throughout all of infinity and thus My Being cannot be limited either, I can only have become a conceivable idea in the form of Jesus Christ for you, who are still finite yourselves, who have not yet attained the highest perfection, for I have to give to you what corresponds to your state, which is still far from perfection.

However, I Am and remain also inscrutable in My nature for the spirits of highest perfection, which, however, is a cause of increased beatitude, because My children constantly strive towards Me, are constantly delighted by Me through My fulfilling of their desire yet never able to reach Me .... and on the other hand may behold Me from face to face in Jesus Christ .... This, too, will remain an enigma to you, and only in the state of enlightenment will you begin to comprehend and yet eternally unable to fathom My nature. To you I appear infinitely far away and yet I Am as close to you as only a father can get to his child. But this awareness makes you immensely happy, and your love for Me increases constantly and is also the cause of bliss, because it always meets with fulfilment.

And thus your love for Jesus Christ will blaze ever more ardently, in Whom you have recognised your Father of eternity and in Whom I bestow unlimited bliss upon you .... For in Him I Am now able to be close to My children, even though I Am not bound to the form, even though I fill all of infinity with My light and My strength, with My Being, which is and remains inscrutable. But you, My living creations, shall look for and find Me in Jesus, for I have chosen Him as the form which received Me; and this once human external form completely spiritualised itself and yet remained visible to every being which attained the state of maturity of spiritual vision ....

Thus you see My eternal spirit when you see Jesus, for He and I are one, you see the Father when you see Jesus, because I wanted to be visible to you, My created beings, in order to gain all your love. Yet you will never be able to behold Me in My infinite abundance of strength and light without ceasing to exist .... But I want to be able to create and work with My children and thus also reveal Myself to them in order to heighten their beatitude .... And I want to experience their love Myself and therefore will always be close to My children ....

Amen

‘Work of the spirit’ and the work of the spirit world ....

B.D. 7829 from February 18th 1961, taken from Book No. 82

You are guided into truth .... Do you understand how significant it is to have the guarantee of living in absolute truth because I Am instructing you Myself? And do not be misled if you are faced by contentions that you cannot be certain that it is I Who speaks to you, or you would even have to dismiss the Book of Books, which clearly refers to My 'working of the spirit' .... But people are already so distant from Me that they no longer know of My spirit's work in a human being .... Although occasionally they indeed look for contact with the spiritual kingdom they are completely without knowledge and therefore in danger of accepting messages which do not correspond to the truth, since they know too little about the 'working of the spirits' who have not yet entered the kingdom of light. They make contact with spiritual regions, with the world of spirits which, in fact, also look for contact with people but only to make themselves heard in order to transfer their misguided, confused thoughts to people, as they did on earth. For as long as they are not in the world of light they do not think correctly, their spirit is still dark and they are only able to pass on wrong concepts to people. And people value such messages from the world of spirits too highly .... But they do not look for the right relationship with Me, which would assure that they receive the truth. 'My spirit will guide you into truth ....' I want to instruct you Myself, and although I speak to you through messengers of light it is still the same, for the truth originates from Me and is passed on to you through My messengers of light. They will never be able to say anything other than is My will nor would they want to, since they receive the spiritual knowledge they pass on to you from Me ....

I Myself instruct you through the spirit .... You humans should comprehend that God Himself speaks to you, do not just dismiss this as impossible .... For you are in direct contact with Me, because you are My living creations, My children, who belong to Me eternally. The Father will always speak to His children providing they want it and fulfil My related conditions for the child to hear the Father's voice. You have to believe that I speak to you, prepare yourselves as a vessel for the flow of My spirit and listen inwardly .... To be able to believe you have to live in love, whereby you prepare yourselves as a dwelling for Me so that I then can be present in you. And if you listen attentively you will hear Me .... And what I say to you is truth, for the Eternal Truth Itself speaks to you, It educates you, and you will learn everything that is necessary for the salvation of your soul. But do you need the voices from the spirit world for this? Be seriously warned not to accept messages as truthful which were not given to you through the 'working of My spirit' .... And avoid those who claim to have contact with the world of spirits .... They are a danger for you because they confuse your thoughts and keep you away from the pure truth. People with already matured souls can certainly have occasional insights into these worlds and exercise their influence on the souls in darkness, but the people on earth will never benefit from seeking contact with the world of darkness. That is why they should avoid such dealings with the spirit world, because they are also My adversary's means in the last days to confuse people's thoughts so that they are unable to appreciate the truth or even reject it, or they take less notice of it than those messages and overlook an invaluable gift of grace .... The truth comes forth from Me Myself, and you humans will receive it if you so desire. However, if you are satisfied with messages which do not originate from Me, if you pay attention to them, then you do not desire truth and will never come to possess it either .... But where 'My spirit is working' there is truth .... For I can only work where the conditions are met, but then I will keep every error at bay, for this is truly within My power .... I want truth to be sent to earth, and I have the power to exercise My will, because you humans live with misconceptions and are therefore in utmost danger .... You humans can only become blessed through truth and therefore have to sincerely ask Me for it .... But then you can also be certain that you will receive it, that I will teach you Myself, as I have promised ....

Amen

Another prediction through God's Word ....

B.D. 7830 from February 19th 1961, taken from Book No. 82

You don't realise as yet what it means to be addressed by Me directly because you human do not believe that your God and Father speaks to you from above .... Your spirit is still unenlightened and therefore you do not deem it possible. Consequently, your concept of God is still very misguided, for you position yourselves completely outside the Power Which created you and are therefore also unable to feel Its love, because you are without love yourselves and thus the working of the Eternal Love is incomprehensible to you. But in just a little while you shall have the evidence that your God and Creator truly speaks and has spoken to you, for you shall experience it yourselves that My constant announcements will fulfil themselves, that you will witness a natural disaster of immense proportions as has never happened on earth before. Time and again I proclaim this event to you without being believed .... but it is My will that you shall be able to believe when these proclamations of Mine prove themselves to be true, for I also want you to believe in the end which will follow shortly afterwards and prepare yourselves for it. All My predictions are only ever intended to encourage you to seriously tackle your task of improving your soul, so that you will make good use of the short time in order to be able to survive the end unscathed, so that you will not go astray again for an infinitely long time .... i.e., so that you will not have to endure the new banishment which will irrevocably threaten you at the end if you have not found your way to Me. I only want to save you humans and not let you fall prey to destruction but I cannot influence you against your will. I therefore speak to you through My messengers and draw your attention to the near end, I admonish you to consider your earthly purpose ....

Time and again I proclaim My divine teaching of love to you, and you would all be able to have faith if only you had the sincere will to achieve the purpose of your earthly life. Yet you go along without any serious thought because you do not believe in the soul's continuation of life. But I cannot do any more than impart the truth to you Myself about your existence and your purpose .... I cannot do any more than speak to you directly through My messengers and so clearly explain everything to you that you would really be able to believe .... Yet you don't want to, and you cannot be compelled to give credence to My Words from above. Nevertheless, you ought to pay attention to all world events, to the state of affairs between people and the obvious low spiritual level. You also ought to be critical of yourselves and in regards to your way of life, and you should reflect on the meaning and purpose of earthly life .... Then you would recognise people's state of mind by yourselves and consider it plausible that this situation cannot remain as it is, that a change will have to happen and then attention will be paid to My Word from above. However, it requires good will for you to arrive at faith, for I will help everyone who wants to ascend from the abyss, who directs his thoughts to Me by trying to recognise what is right and despising what is wrong .... Truly, no better information can be given to you humans than through My Word .... You can really find no better explanation than that which I give it to you Myself by addressing you directly, and you can believe that I Am motivated by the great spiritual adversity to help you humans on earth in any way, that I convey the truth to you, which you don't know because My adversary does and has done everything in order to increase the darkness above you, so that you cannot understand anything properly anymore, so that you don't even recognise the voice of your God and Father Who wants to help and enlighten you before the arrival of the end. Listen to Me when you hear My voice through My messengers, don't reject what they bring to you, because those of you who do not believe are in utmost danger .... and you can still be saved and find faith because the pure truth is presented to you .... And I want to give you the evidence of the truth, because very soon what has been proclaimed for a long time already will be fulfilled .... that the earth will be struck by a powerful natural event such as has never happened before .... And shortly afterwards will follow the end, as it is proclaimed in Word and Scripture ....

Amen

About the incarnation of light beings ....

B.D. 7831 from February 20th 1961, taken from Book No. 82

You should always ask Me for the pure truth and you will not live in error. And once again I refer you to the working of My spirit in you so that you will not run the risk of accepting mental concepts as truth which did not originate from Me Myself. And time and again I also draw your attention to Satan's activity in the last days before the end, who uses every means to fight the truth and who, with cunning and trickery, intends to capture people who are not closely enough in contact with Me since they have already allowed themselves to get entangled in misguided teachings and are unwilling to let go of them. I will send the truth to anyone if only he sincerely desires it ....

When the 'incarnation of light beings' in the last days before the end is mentioned, then this always happens in combination with a spiritual mission, because there is great spiritual hardship on earth and these beings had agreed to help people. And truly, there are many enlightened spiritual beings embodied on earth, which live unrecognised by their fellow human beings and fulfil a mission: to bring people spiritual information or to exemplify a life of love to them, to work for the benefit of their fellow human beings, thus to help them find the right path which leads to Me. But as a rule their task consists of working on My behalf in My vineyard, thus to be true 'representatives of God' .... teachers who are educated by Me Myself, who thus speak in place of Me, who are My true servants. They themselves offered to carry out this redemption work in the spiritual kingdom and were in fact accepted by Me, which necessitated an embodiment in the flesh on this earth.

However, they are unaware of their origin; they do not know the task they had voluntarily taken upon themselves but live their life like any other person on earth, only their free will determines their conduct in life and their work in the vineyard. They don't know of their pre-existence either .... And this is how it must be, because absolute free will should be the driving force .... irrespective of what kind of spiritual mission such a person carries out. It would truly not be beneficial for you to know a person's previous incarnation for it would confuse your thinking, because My adversary recognises people's weaknesses and can easily slip in wherever he detects but a spark of pride. Hence, such embodied beings of light received no knowledge about their origin from Me ....

And yet people claim to have knowledge of it and don't question the source of such knowledge .... And 'My spirit' will never have revealed such information to them either, rather, 'immature spirits' have actively spread misconceptions and portrayed people as embodied beings of light where, in reality, no spiritual mission is recognisable or it would not be founded on lies or misguided assumptions .... The beings of light work in seclusion, or their activity comes so openly to the fore that a mission on My instruction is very clearly evident ....

But they will reject everything which does not correspond to the truth, and they will also recognise and condemn erroneous messages from the spirit realm as lies and deception. For they know the truth and fight for the truth, and not for misguided teachings which come forth from the one who is My adversary. And I can only ever warn you humans about his activity in the last days before the end, for he will do anything in order to invalidate My pure truth, and he will always find approval with those who look for extraordinary things, who are not content with the pure truth they receive from Me .... But I will always grant you clarification again, providing you seriously desire it ....

Amen

The battle of light against darkness ....

B.D. 7832 from February 21st 1961, taken from Book No. 82

Strong errors have been spread in the world, and the battle of darkness against the light is a mighty one, for it is a battle for the souls between Me and My adversary .... He, too, has a right to these souls which once voluntarily followed him to the depth .... yet they emerged from Me, thus also My share, which I will not leave to My adversary without a fight. But the soul's free will decides for itself which lord it will turn to. And every lord tries to win this free will for himself. If the soul in its last embodiment as a human being possessed full light, if it had the same realization as in the beginning, then its will would also make the right decision and push towards Me as its God and father, and I would have won it for eternity .... But it lacks this light as a result of its apostasy from Me, and My adversary's greatest endeavour is to keep the soul in the night of the spirit because then it will not get lost to him. Therefore he constantly fights against the light, that is why this great battle between light and darkness is to be won for the time being. Again and again souls will free themselves from this spiritual night, they will earnestly long for truth and truly find it. But the light could only ever shine sparsely, for again and again My adversary ensured darkening, he fought with all means against the light being able to break through, and his hatred was constantly directed towards those who again and again appeared as bearers of light amongst people who accepted light from Me and tried to spread it. And again and again the adversary retained dominance, for he used means which completely confused people's thinking .... for only darkness secures his possession of the souls, whereas a little light of however little brightness already showed the soul the path to Me .... And what people saw as "light from above" were the works of satan .... they were blinding lights which did not impart any knowledge to the human being, which only plunged him into delusion and let the soul fall ever more into the adversary's power. For people did not seek the light in all seriousness .... they were indifferent and believed blindly .... And therefore My adversary had an easy time with them, and he was also able to hold his ground for a long time .... The darkness became denser and denser, although again and again a light broke through which, however, did not attract much attention. Every human being has the ability to think .... but who uses it in the spiritual sphere? You humans could truly think about many things if you were seriously interested in the maturing of your soul. But you thoughtlessly accepted what you were offered, and this state did not change, which is why a work which was built by satan and which was repeatedly strengthened by him did not collapse. And humanity itself is to blame for this, for I gave people the intellect and they were able to pray to Me .... as long as they believed .... Only a few made use of these blessings and entered into direct contact with Me, while the masses were content with what the adversary offered them, otherwise they would also have recognized his shameful activity, otherwise they would have had to distinguish between the blinding lights and the true light and would have been able to follow the battle of darkness against the light. I always give you a right light, I imparted the truth to you as soon as you contacted Me and desired the truth .... But he always drove you into darkest night .... and you believed because faith was demanded of you, but you put an 'organisation' before 'God' .... You rarely only took the path to Me Myself, and that is why an organisation was able to hold on for such a long time, and it is still untouchable for many people and yet does not give you light but darkens your spirit ever more, for satan rages mercilessly in the last days and his battle is only ever for the light which emanates from Me and wants to put an end to people's subjugated state .... But who pays attention to the light? Again and again people are drawn back into dark areas, for their own free will decides .... But if it is good, it must also find the right light, it must step out of the darkness of night into the light of day, for it then decides for itself the victory of light over darkness. Why are you humans so gullible when it concerns the works of My adversary? And why do you have such difficulty accepting the truth from Me? Why do you unreservedly trust those who have offered themselves for My adversary's service? And why do you doubt when I Myself send a ray of light to earth to help you, to lead you out of satan's snare net? You humans have strengthened the power of it yourselves and thus allowed a work to arise which only aims to confuse your spirit and to keep the pure truth from Me .... And I do not intervene by force because I respect people's free will. But at any time I will release people from its power and also from the darkness of spirit who see the light in Me and seek it .... But then you may no longer turn your eyes back to where darkness still held you captive .... Just hold on to the fact that I am a God of love .... And love will not let anyone get lost who trustingly approaches it; love will not leave you in spiritual darkness, love will only ever want to win your love, but this is only possible if it also moves in truth .... And again, truth is only recognized where love is .... It is truly not My will to plunge you into even greater confusion, yet examine for yourselves which teachings are probably more acceptable to you .... My revelations, which My love keeps sending to you, or those teachings whose origin you are unable to ascertain .... Test for yourselves whether you are able to recognize My love, wisdom and power in the latter .... And know that you have been entangled in a web of lies and feel comfortable in it .... For in order to increase the darkness the adversary unhesitatingly resorted to the most shameful means and yet was not recognized as a liar, but everything was believed him, but the truth .... if it broke through again and again .... or hushed up. But again and again it was brought to you, and those people who accepted it and were able to detach themselves from satan's work of construction, who were able to distinguish where the light shone and where dense darkness was, can consider themselves fortunate. For anyone who ignited love within himself did not unhesitatingly accept everything, because love is the light which gives and will always give him enlightenment from within, because I Myself am love and also the light from eternity and because I Myself can and will only give you the truth in order to release you from darkness. So never believe that you are taking the wrong path if you allow Me to reveal Myself to you .... take the direct path to Me and you will truly walk in truth. And don't be afraid to incur My wrath if you detach yourselves from spiritual knowledge which does not and can never give you light because it originates from darkness. For you must never forget that it is and will remain a battle .... that light and darkness wrestle for the souls which belong to the prince of darkness, and that the human being himself brings this battle to a conclusion and will be victorious if he turns to the light of his own free will, if he seeks contact with Me Himself .... Then he will truly be led to the light, and he will recognize Me Myself in this light, he will no longer anxiously question but be joyful in the certainty of returning to the father from Whom he once took his departure ...._>Amen

Divine revelations predominantly concern spiritual knowledge ....

B.D. 7833 from February 22nd 1961, taken from Book No. 82

You receive a spiritual gift which is beneficial for your soul, which is bread and wine in truth, which strengthens the soul and helps it to recover, which lets it mature into eternal life. When I impart the truth to you through the spirit it only concerns knowledge which promotes your spiritual development. For I come to you as a true physician of the soul and give you medicine so that you will not become a slave to death. And thus you will be instructed through the spirit about your earthly task and about the reason for creation as well as your existence on this earth as a human being .... You shall learn why your soul takes this path across earth and what the purpose of it is. And so that you will also fulfil the purpose I will give you the guidelines according to which you should live your earthly life. And you can be certain that I will instruct you in all truth, that I will not let you fall into error if you desire the truth. What you therefore need to know for this task of earthly life will be announced to you by My spirit, as I have promised. But the fact that you now desire to know much which is completely without influence for the attainment of the soul's salvation also puts you in danger of being taught wrongly, for such a desire can also be fulfilled by My adversary who then sees an opportunity to gain an advantage for himself and who will then be successful if you humans already have a preconceived opinion which he will immediately support if it does not correspond to the truth. But I want the salvation of your soul alone to be your priority .... I want you to demand nourishment for your soul which I will offer to it at any time. And thus, if possible, detach yourselves from earthly knowledge if you desire to be instructed by My spirit; give yourselves to Me with complete faith and let Me give you what your father deems necessary for you .... "I will guide you into all truth ...." and I will also enlighten you about earthly things if it is necessary .... But once your soul has reached the maturity on earth that it can enter the kingdom of light, then it will have clarity about everything. On earth, however, it does not need some knowledge, therefore it will not be given to it. Again and again I emphasize that the human being's will is free, that I admonish and instruct the human being to only ever seek the salvation of his soul, and I make My will known to him through My word .... And if he now fulfils My will, a bright light will soon shine for him and his thoughts will be right because My spirit can illuminate them. And then you will also know and feel what is necessary to know for your soul's salvation .... And you will not complain with thoughts which lie outside spiritual knowledge ...._>Amen

Blind faith is worthless ....

B.D. 7834 from February 23rd 1961, taken from Book No. 82

The human being shall believe but he shall not believe blindly .... he shall form a mental opinion about everything he is required to believe and then let his heart decide whether to reject or accept it. This is what I expect of people, but I Am not content with blind faith when the demand of such signifies a coercion of will, as I gave people completely free will. And you always have to bear the human being's freedom of will in mind, then you will also recognise whether a doctrine has originated from Me, for I gave you humans absolute freedom, I gave you no other commandments apart from the divine commandments of love, the fulfilment of which, however, also presuppose free will. So now I want to guide you into bliss, and for that reason I repeatedly convey My Word to you .... I instruct you and familiarise you with spiritual knowledge .... and once again it is up to you to believe it or not .... Yet you have to form your own opinion about it, you have to think about it and have the good intention to recognise and accept what is right. I don't expect you to blindly believe what you receive through My Word; yet I expect you to scrutinise it before you make a judgment, and after serious examination you will also recognise the truth of what you are presented with, and then you will no longer believe blindly.

But I cannot absolve many people from the accusation of having accepted spiritual values without checking them and then holding on to them .... which, after serious consideration, they would have had to recognise as being untrue .... Many people are satisfied with what was handed on to them by way of tradition, and they deem it wrong to dwell on it because this is what they were also taught .... But how do they want to justify themselves one day? Every human being received from Me the gift of faculty of thought, but does he make use of it? Why does he scrutinise the value of earthly commodities but refrains from doing so with spiritual goods? Why is the salvation of his soul of so little significance to each individual person that he would anxiously ask himself whether he can rely on the fact that he was offered the truth? Why is he indifferent to the 'truth'? For truly, anyone who desires the truth will not live in darkness .... And this state of indifference can be found wherever any kind of spiritual knowledge is unreservedly and without scrutiny accepted because it originates from a specific source .... and precisely this source was not made accessible by Me, or the human being would live in truth and also clearly recognise it as such as soon as he forms an opinion of it. You, however, accept and believe blindly, and thus you strengthen the power of the one who is My adversary, who wants to push you into darkness and keep you there .... For you have dedicated yourselves to an organisation but not to Me, Who in fact wants to guide you to the light ....

However, you have free will and therefore I have never proceeded forcibly but left the decision to you, and as long as you have searched for Me in all sincerity I allow Myself to be found and kindle a bright light in you which also clearly illuminates My adversary's activity. And every person can possess this light by just desiring the light .... But it involves the sincere will to be released from My adversary and this necessitates a close bond with Me .... And thus you need only ask yourselves whether you .... who believe blindly because you are told to do so .... feel impelled towards Me .... No one having sought this close bond with Me has remained empty-handed, for I reveal Myself to everyone and grant him the enlightenment which illumines his path ahead. For if he is searching for Me then love is in him too, which soon will bestow upon him the correct realisation. And thus he will also be able to separate error from truth, he will no longer believe blindly, his bond with Me will release him from My adversary, who will no longer be able to keep a person in darkness once he has seen the light, which makes him happy and only increases his desire for more light .... And he will free himself from the influence of those who pretend to be My true representatives on earth, who do not live in truth themselves and therefore cannot distribute it either .... who exert spiritual coercion on their followers, which can never correspond to My will, because earthly life is a matter of the human being's free decision of will which is being prevented by the former ....

Amen

Help for the beings beyond through the word of God ....

B.D. 7835 from February 24th 1961, taken from Book No. 82

An unusual flow of light can be recognized in the spiritual world when My divine ray of love pours to earth, when My word is conveyed to earth, which is light from the eternal light. And countless beings are touched by this ray of light, all of which have entered My flow of love, which no longer offer any resistance to My illumination. In the spiritual kingdom My ray of love touches the beings which are constantly fed with My light of love in order to pass it on into areas without light. But also the beings in the beyond who are willing to listen to Me when My word is sounded to them in order to mature themselves happily accept My illumination of love and have great blessings .... People on earth must also be willing to be addressed by Me in order to experience the blessing of My illumination of light of love .... But all will be considered without limitation according to their degree of love and willingness. And thus you humans will also understand how you yourselves help those beings in the kingdom of the beyond into the light if you contact Me in order to receive My word, for they are not yet in the kingdom of light where the beings are constantly blessed by the illumination of love .... They still need the mediators whose love would like to help them into the light, because they still live in spiritual regions where darkness or twilight predominates and where rays of light only flash up when this connection with Me is established from earth and then it is up to them whether they follow the rays of light in order to enter the realm of illumination. And since these beings are still in earthly regions due to their spiritual immaturity they will also constantly surround you but also be infinitely grateful to you if they come into the blessing of My illumination of love through you .... For I Myself cannot yet directly convey the light to them but I will never prevent them if they voluntarily join the flow of love. And this is why the transmission of My word to earth is such a great help for these souls, because their free will remains with them and yet the possibility exists that the souls will seek you out and receive light from you. And thus you contribute to an unusual degree to the redemption of these souls, for the ray of light attracts countless souls and they follow it and thus enter the blessing of My divine word, which truly has a great effect because it is an illumination of love on My part which the souls cannot resist. But the souls in the beyond are by no means forced, they can also avoid the rays of light if they shun the light, yet their resistance will not last long because other willing souls will already take care of this again by participating in it. My adversary's activity on earth is unmistakable .... but redemptive work of the greatest magnitude is also underway in the kingdom of the beyond .... And therefore you humans should not grieve when your loved ones are sometimes called away before their time, for many no longer reach the state of maturity on earth which secures them the kingdom of light, but they can still ascend in the kingdom of the beyond in a short time because they are more likely to take hold of My hand there than on earth, where they don't want to see it, where they pass by My gift of love, where they don't let themselves be addressed by Me because they have turned their eyes towards the world. Yet to you, who receive My word, I call again and again: Remember these souls to whom you do a great service when they are allowed to become involved in My activity, when they are allowed to participate in My illumination of love. And often let My ray of love enter this darkness, because you are surrounded by many souls which feel at ease and only ever wait until a ray flashes up again and touches them .... For where My love is legally bound there are no barriers to your love, and for the sake of your love I can help those who are in need ...._>Amen

Faith in and knowledge of the work of redemption ....

B.D. 7836 from February 26th 1961, taken from Book No. 82

When I opened the kingdom of light for you again through My death on the cross My adversary's power over you was broken insofar as you were able to oppose his will yourselves, which was not possible before because you were completely weakened in his dominion. But now he could no longer keep your will bound, and as soon as it was willing to turn to Me you escaped his power, and now you draw the strength from Me because I had acquired it for you through My sacrificial death .... In the human stage your will is free, it is not forced from any side .... but it can be completely weakened and then it cannot offer My adversary any resistance .... But the fact that this weakened will was strengthened is why I died on the cross .... And now you humans need only ask Me in Jesus Christ to strengthen your will .... and you will be able to free yourselves from the adversary's power. Thus you must acknowledge Jesus Christ's act of salvation, and thus the knowledge of it must be conveyed to you humans. You humans must be taught that an original sin is the reason for your earthly life as a human being and that this original sin is also the reason for the act of salvation. You must know why a human being suffered death on the cross and what mission this human being fulfilled in truth: that He offered Himself to Me as a cover because I wanted to redeem the great guilt for you in Him, which had kept the kingdom of light closed to you since your apostasy from Me .... And therefore you will be instructed again and again in the truth so that all correlations will be clear to you, so that you will now also recognize your purpose of earthly life, which consists of believing in Jesus Christ as the son of God and redeemer of the world, for you will not be able to enter through the gate into the kingdom of light until you have also found redemption..., until you have found redemption, which only requires your own will to turn to Me again, Who embodied Myself in the human being Jesus, Who died for you Myself on the cross in order to redeem you from My adversary's power. And if you humans are still weak-willed, come to Me in Jesus and ask Me to strengthen your will .... And truly, you will be released from this power, for then your will will already be turned towards Me and your earthly life will not have been lived in vain, it will lead you towards the aim which, however, you will never be able to reach without redemption through Jesus Christ. And already the will to know the truth about Him and His act of salvation earns you strength and grace, for it testifies that you want to detach yourselves from My adversary who tries to keep you in spiritual darkness. But truth is light, and thus you then desire the light when you ask for the truth .... And the 'eternal light' will shine for you, it will truly guide you to the right knowledge, and then you will also turn to the divine redeemer Jesus Christ and also to Me Myself, Whom you now recognize in Jesus as your God and father of eternity. Then you will have voluntarily returned to Me, and then My crucifixion will not have been in vain for you, then the gate into the kingdom of light will have been opened for you, you yourselves will be united with Me again, the abyss will have had to release you, and you will now also remain with Me forever .... And therefore I will never stop giving you humans enlightenment through My word, for one thing is entirely necessary: to know about the redemptive work of Jesus Christ .... He cannot be excluded, without Him there is no beatitude .... and I Myself cannot be thought of in any other way than in Him. And if you want to make contact with Me it can only happen in Jesus, Whose shell I chose for Myself in order to be able to be a visible God for you, Who is a spirit, inconceivable to you .... Who fills the whole universe but manifested Himself for you, His creatures, in the shell of the man Jesus .... In Him, therefore, you must look for Me, and then you will also find Me and never lose Me again ...._>Amen

Free will ....

B.D. 7837 from February 28th 1961, taken from Book No. 82

Only your will determines whether you achieve perfection on this earth. Hence earthly life is a matter of your free decision of will. But this does not relate to earthly questions or opinions about earthly plans, it is purely a matter for your soul to make the right decision as to which Lord it accepts above itself. But the human being cannot be forced by either side to make this decision, consequently 'free will' cannot ever be refuted, in spite of the fact that people repeatedly attempt to do so. Only the human being's innermost thoughts matter and this is not subject to any force. For this reason the person can only be influenced by ideas, speeches and various events which are thus intended to affect his thoughts (his will). And this is attempted by the divine as well as by the God-opposing aspect. However, it is always the person's own decision as to which influence he submits himself (yields) .... The human being's will is free .... Hence one day he also has to be accountable for the direction he gave his will, because he was given his life as a human being for the purpose of testing his will and sooner or later the soul will have to endure the consequences of its will's decision.

The human being is able to turn his will towards God in every situation of life .... And he can equally submit himself to His adversary .... but he will never be able to hold anyone responsible for his decision of will, neither his fellow human being nor a worldly power, neither God Himself nor His adversary, because it is entirely up to his free will as to whether the direction of his thoughts aim towards God or His adversary .... But his destiny is always determined by God such that he can easily find God, as long as he no longer offers Him inner resistance .... which is thus determined by his free will. People are inclined to refute free will because they are not always able to do what they want to do, however, it is not always a question of what they do, but what they want. For they can be prevented from carrying out actions, again due to the effects of spiritual influences .... but the volition itself cannot be prevented. Therefore the human being should be critical of himself with regard to the direction of his will's expression .... because during his life on earth he knows that he is expected to turn towards God, because God Himself constantly conveys this information to him and he does not live his earthly life entirely without knowledge .... But since he is also influenced by God's adversary it will be inevitable that he has to think about it, and therefore he is already urged to make a decision ....

And thus this, too, is the battle between light and darkness, which has to be settled by the person himself and which would be inconceivable without the human being's free will, otherwise only the positive and negative powers would fight each other and one power would then emerge as the winner .... But this is not how the battle between light and darkness should be understood, because it concerns the human being's soul which, in free will, makes its own choice regarding itself. The human being's life on earth is therefore an uninterrupted chain of experiences, discoveries and impressions which stimulate his thinking and which can also enable his thoughts to move into the right direction. But since God's adversary was granted the right to fight for the soul as well, his thinking will also be subject to negative influences and then he will have to make his choice. And the intensity of his resistance to God determines the outcome, it determines the soul's fate after the body's death, which can be exceedingly joyful but also intensely painful. However, irrespective how the will decides .... God's love never abandons the soul, and if it does not achieve its goal in this earthly life it will indeed delay its salvation for an infinitely long time, but sooner or later the right decision will be made by the will, since God's love is strength which the soul will not oppose forever ....

Amen

Return of the opponent ....

B.D. 7838 from March 1st 1961, taken from Book No. 82

The adversary's return to Me can also only take place in lawful order .... And since his apostasy from Me was an offence so unusually severe that you humans are unable to comprehend it, it will take eternities until he has atoned for this offence .... until he has changed his will himself and gives himself to Me again, as it was in the beginning. He, whom My greater than great love had brought into being, had become My adversary, and this meant that he turned everything within himself into the opposite .... that he shaped himself into a being which stood in stark contrast to Me .... that he became the antithesis of the eternal deity, even though he had originated from Me Myself. And this 'turning' into a being completely opposed to Me required eternal times, and therefore the return cannot take place in less time, for he has to go back the same way, he also has to turn his nature into his original being again, and he is still in the hardest opposition to Me, as an enemy and adversary he is still in the greatest defensive position and constantly works against Me .... And yet, in this resistance he unconsciously serves Me as an antipole in My plan of return, for once all beings have to freely decide between Me and him, because the return to Me cannot take place under compulsion but has to be started in free will, just as the apostasy from Me once took place in free will. My adversary, however, has lost all realization through his fall into the abyss .... he turned away from Me as the eternal light, he no longer allowed himself to be permeated by My light of love, and due to his ever increasing distance from Me he lost all light .... he became darkened in spirit, he was in wrong thinking, he no longer recognized anything but he considered his blinded thinking to be truth. And his activity consists of carrying darkness everywhere, of extinguishing all light and fighting against truth because he perceives it as a light from Me. Thus he created a kingdom of darkness into which he plunged his following and thus dominated it. And because his following is overwhelmingly large it will take eternities until light can be brought to this following for the time being, which, however, is the purpose of My plan of eternity to illuminate everything with My love again until it stands in the brightest light of realization again and then thus has also returned to Me. Yet if its fall required eternities until it had landed in the deepest abyss, if it has to take the same path back again, it is obvious from this that a return of the counter-spirit is still far from being thought of, because the entire appendage has to be redeemed first before it feels so weak itself that it voluntarily returns to Me. But until then he will also use the strength and power he still has left on people, for they will live on earth in possession of free will which will now have to prove itself, i.e. which will have to choose between Me, the lord, Whom the being once refused to acknowledge .... and him, the lord, whom they voluntarily followed to the abyss. Thus he unconsciously and unintentionally serves Me as an antipole .... And I foresaw this from eternity and built My entire 'plan of redemption' on the wrong will of My first-created being, or also: the plan for the creation of 'children' who had to pass the very test of will which presupposes becoming 'children of God'. Since countless beings were created by His will using My strength, it will also take eternities until these beings arrive with Me again as My children .... And for just as long will the first-created spirit, Lucifer, serve Me as an antipole .... And for just as long will he postpone his return to Me, for it will take eternities to change his completely wrong nature .... But one day his return is also certain .... But you humans should not be misled when you are told that he is on the path of return .... indeed his followers, but not he himself, whose hatred towards Me is abysmal, but also towards everything spiritual which belongs to him, for he knows no love, he seeks to ruin everything, and he also seeks to prevent his followers from becoming blessed, because he himself is evil since he turned himself and his nature wrong and likewise has to carry out his change on himself, so that he returns to the father again as the prodigal son from Whom he also once took his departure ...._>Amen

Directing the souls in the beyond to Jesus Christ ....

B.D. 7839 from March 2nd 1961, taken from Book No. 82

Anyone who professes Me in the spiritual kingdom will be redeemed for all eternity .... As soon as the souls, which are still dwelling in darkness or twilight, are no longer opposed to My name when they are informed of My act of Salvation by disguised messengers of light or by the thoughts of loving people, the darkness will leave them .... the strength of My name alone will take effect in them and drive them to Me, they will start to look for Me and I will also allow Myself to be found .... But the soul's will is and shall always remain free, hence it might also take a long time before they accept Me, before people's intercession becomes effective or the messengers of light joining them in disguise are successful in bringing them the Gospel.

Yet the efforts to gain these souls will not cease, and therefore it is very beneficial if souls are consciously invited to join spiritual conversations relating to the act of Salvation, so that the souls will time and again be directed to Jesus Christ and voluntarily take the path to Me and ask Me for forgiveness of their guilt .... As long as they are not happy they will still be burdened by guilt, and their misery will be able to encourage them to strive for an improvement of their situation and think about themselves, about their life on earth and their relationship with Me, their God and Creator of eternity. It will already reduce the soul's will of resistance if it receives people's loving intercession, if it is kindly thought of and feels their willingness to help. This will also decrease its rejection of help which it is repeatedly offered in the realm of the beyond, and its surrender of opposition is the beginning of progress, for every inclination of such a soul is taken into account and it is bestowed with a small light, which makes it happy and increases its desire for it.

The souls in the beyond have to find Me if they have not found Me on earth already. And you humans can greatly contribute towards it by frequently thinking of souls which suffer adversity .... by only ever directing every soul coming into your mind to Me, to the divine Redeemer Jesus Christ, Who alone can help it attain beatitude. Your loving thoughts of these souls are like sparks of light, which make them happy and which they always look out for and to whose origin they hurry. While on earth they had kept away from all spiritual instruction, they had only lived their earthly life and thus entered the spiritual kingdom devoid of all spiritual possessions after their death .... Now they first have to acquire spiritual possessions of their own free will, they should not offer any opposition if the Gospel of love is proclaimed to them, and they must also pass it on with love to those who, like themselves, would like to improve their situation.

However, as soon as you humans take care of these souls they will not be lost; your thoughts will always draw them to yourselves and they will also be able to accept what they hitherto had rejected .... and now experience it as a blessing because it is given to them by your love .... For love is a power which will not remain ineffective .... You should often remember the souls which still languish in darkness, which have not yet found their way to Me in Jesus; show them the way and inform them of the Gospel; and you will accomplish a richly blessed work of redemption that is most significant, especially during the last days, because many souls shall still detach themselves from the abyss, so that they will not fall prey to the new banishment when the end has come ....

Amen

Serving in must-law .... serving in love ....

B.D. 7840 from March 3rd 1961, taken from Book No. 82

Everything you see around you strives towards perfection, for the whole of creation contains fallen spiritual substances which, dissolved into countless particles, wander through the individual works of creation with the aim of returning to Me from Whom they once originated. I saw these creations as suitable to change the former resistance of the spiritual substance, and an ascending development will always be recorded in creation because this spiritual substance fulfils My will in the law of compulsion, because it also fulfils the law of eternal order in the law of compulsion: because it serves .... Serving is an act of love .... Although love as such does not really break through in the law of compulsion, the once fallen being nevertheless slowly inserts itself into the fundamental law of eternal order again, and thereby the distance from Me decreases, so that it can then once again gain possession of free will and now serves of its own accord .... which then, however, also requires love and this brings the once fallen being back to Me again, because through love it unites with Me again as the original source of love. Everything you see around you is developing upwards, but you yourselves, the human being who is now the spirit being endowed with free will .... can also bring this upward development to a standstill if you fail, if you do not "serve in love" in free will .... And thereby you can jeopardise the whole course of upward development beforehand, you can sink back into the abyss again .... And I would like to protect you from this, but I Myself cannot determine your will, I can only present the effect of it to you, warn and admonish you and help you if you are of good will. And again and again you should look at the creation around you and remember that you have already overcome everything, that you were of service because every work of creation has its purpose, and that you thereby attained a degree of maturity which earned you the grace of embodiment as a human being .... And you should thank Me with all your heart that I made this degree of maturity possible for you, and you should love Me for it .... and you would soon also reach your aim, you would soon unite with Me and be blissfully happy. But if you keep yourselves distant from Me .... and you do, if you live along without love and without thoughts of Me .... then you are in utmost danger of sinking back and having to cover the whole long path of your ascent development once again. And this is a state of unimaginable agony and darkness for you. But as a human being you are able to change this state and acquire light and bliss. Use this time of grace for yourselves, think of yourselves and your fate after the death of your body, and eagerly work on the transformation of your soul .... so that you still discard your unspiritual urges, so that you change yourselves into love. For then you will also take on the original nature again which was your state before your past apostasy from Me, and you will also be able to enjoy light and bliss as you once did in the beginning. For I want you to come out of your state of wretchedness because I love you, and therefore I also let you take this long path of development in order to help you attain the highest possible maturity, but which you now have to increase yourselves in free will as a human being in order to be completely united with Me again. I was your starting point, and irrevocably you must also return to Me again. And once you have reached your aim you will also be immeasurably happy and sing My praises and thanks that My infinite love did not let you fall, even though you voluntarily left Me. But you determine the duration of your distance from Me yourselves and thus also your return, which I do not force out of My love and My power, because you are free, divine creatures who are therefore also free to determine yourselves. But My love is boundless and will always help you to reach your aim as long as you are of good will ...._>Amen

The adversary's disguise as a spirit of light .... Miracles? ....

B.D. 7841 from March 4th 1961, taken from Book No. 82

Your thinking is utterly wrong if you look upon the adversary's machinations as divine miracles, because they can be recognised as soon as you humans are of good will and subsequently also desire to think correctly .... For the sign of My working consists of the fact that everything testifies to love, wisdom and power; consequently, you need only investigate as to whether love, wisdom and power can be recognised when you are informed of such alleged miracles .... My adversary also disguises himself in the form of light, he appears as a spirit of light and confuses gullible people who are looking for sensations and therefore also accept anything unverified. You should not believe blindly, each one of you should examine and keep that which seems acceptable to you after serious scrutiny. So if phenomena are reported to you which supposedly are My 'divine' activity, you should know that I do not work in unusual ways in order to lead people to faith, because a living faith can only be gained through kind-hearted actions and any other faith is of no value before Me. Why should I therefore offer you unusual phenomena and what would be My purpose for it? You can find out anything you need to know from My Word, its transmission is certainly an extraordinary gift of grace but it does not oblige anyone to believe who does not live a life of love .... But it shall stimulate you into kind-hearted activity, and then your faith will become firm and alive. A spiritually highly mature person will occasionally be able to experience spiritual visions, but he will find it very difficult to describe to his fellow human beings what he had seen .... In that case one cannot speak of 'unusual phenomena' which originate from Me .... Yet My adversary often works by dazzling people and thus creating an illusion of things which are only perceived by people akin to him, who are not in heartfelt contact with Me, their God and Father of eternity .... This can only happen if people think the wrong way and thereby prepare their own foundation for wrong images .... if they themselves are willing to confirm inaccuracies by testifying to them .... Their lack of earnestly requesting the truth leaves them open to any error, and then it is easy for My adversary to build upon this error and to increasingly confuse people's thinking more and more so that they see and hear what he feigns to them because they want to see and hear it. Don't believe that I try to prove or reveal Myself to those who do not shape themselves such that I can reveal Myself to them .... but even then it does not happen so obviously that it would compel someone into believing who has not reached a specific degree of maturity .... And ask yourselves whether people advocating unusual experiences or phenomena can be credited with this maturity .... because only the masses will let themselves be deceived but fully matured souls will never experience My adversary's obvious activity .... Anyone who believes blindly gets more and more caught up in Satan's web of lies, for he has an easy game with them .... But if you seriously desire the truth, he will not be able to deceive you, then you will recognise him regardless of what he does .... For his activity emerges from darkness and only increases the darkness .... However, where I Am at work there is light .... and there can only be light where love is present. And this light of love can only emanate from Me, but it will also illuminate and penetrate the darkness .... Therefore, look for light, try to escape the darkness and turn to Me as the light of eternity .... And you will easily recognise where My adversary has intervened, for neither My love nor My wisdom nor power can be recognised there .... His activity will be clearly recognisable, as he will only ever fight the light and therefore also the truth ....

Amen

Right enlightenment about Jesus Christ .... work of redemption ....

B.D. 7842 from March 5th 1961, taken from Book No. 82

Faith in the divine redeemer guarantees that you will enter the kingdom of light after death, because then you will also have found redemption, the forgiveness of guilt, which has so far kept the kingdom of light closed to you. And you can only attain living faith if you make an effort to live a life of love .... if you keep the commandments which He Himself gave you when He lived on earth. But you also need to know the truth about Him and His act of salvation; you need to know what motivated Him to die on the cross for people, and Who actually existed in the man Jesus, Who accomplished the act of salvation .... You must know that God Himself was in Him and therefore also acknowledge Jesus as God's son and redeemer of the world, in Whom the eternal deity manifested Himself in order to accomplish the act of salvation on the cross. As soon as you humans are taught the pure truth you can also attain faith, because then love for Him will be kindled in you humans and this love will then also let faith come alive in you. This is why it is so extremely important that you are given a true picture of the mission of the man Jesus, for you will be willing to accept the truth if only you are of good will. But if you are given an unclear picture then you will doubt and also completely reject it, you will only regard Jesus Christ and His life on earth as a legend which is not to be taken seriously, and you will not be able to experience the blessing which arises from living faith in Him .... You will not be released from your great guilt of sin and with it burdened you will enter the kingdom of the beyond after your death, where no light and no beatitude awaits you, because you do not avail yourselves of the grace(s) of the act of salvation on earth, which require faith in Him .... And if you humans think you cannot believe in Jesus and His act of salvation, then only want what is right in your heart.... want the truth and ask God, Whom you acknowledge as your creator, to grant you the truth .... And you will truly receive right enlightenment about Jesus’ work of redemption. You will receive knowledge, in whatever way it may be .... which you then willingly accept because you inwardly feel that it is the truth. For God does not want you to believe blindly .... He wants you to be serious about standing in the truth .... And therefore He will also help you to gain a living faith in Jesus Christ, the divine redeemer, because only such faith can open the kingdom of light for you, because only in living faith will you recognize the father Who died for you on the cross in order to redeem you .... The truth will bring you full assurance that you have been redeemed from sin and death .... On the other hand, wrong or inadequate knowledge will cause you to doubt and you will reject the divine redeemer and thus also God Himself, but you will have to profess Him in earthly life if you don't want to have lived it in vain. Just try to attain a living faith in Jesus Christ and pray for it with all your heart and soul .... And the gates to beatitude will open for you, you will be allowed to enter the kingdom of light after your death, you will no longer be burdened by sin and you will only ever be allowed to experience His infinite love and mercy and praise and glorify Him .... And through the truth you will still be able to believe on earth and receive this truth again and again through His word, which God Himself conveys to earth, so that people will find Jesus Christ through the truth and thus also Himself, Who was in Him and Who died on the cross for you and your guilt of sin ...._>Amen

Acquisition of spiritual knowledge ....

B.D. 7843 from March 6th 1961, taken from Book No. 82

To possess spiritual knowledge is only possible in a certain degree of maturity of the soul, i.e. it must have ignited (awakened) the spiritual spark within itself through a life of love, which now also opens up its understanding for spiritual knowledge, otherwise the human being only reads dead letters which give him no light. To possess spiritual knowledge is therefore already proof that the human being is on the path to ascent .... It is proof that he has already entered into the bond with God, that his spiritual spark has received that knowledge from God Himself which is inseparably connected to the father-spirit from eternity. But anyone who possesses spiritual knowledge cannot be idle, he will use his knowledge, he will constantly strive for increased knowledge, and he will also try to transfer his knowledge to his fellow human beings because he feels that he represents the right knowledge, that it is the truth and that this truth will bring blessings to himself and also to his fellow human beings. And therefore every person can consider himself fortunate who has gained spiritual knowledge which is understandable to him, which provides him with answers to questions which could not be answered by human beings. For this person no longer believes in a merely earthly life, but his thoughts are now often spiritually directed and his way of life is also carried out according to this spiritual knowledge. The human being strives to live in love, to enter into God's will .... inwardly strives towards God, he begins to despise the world and its goods and only uses them as far as the preservation of the body requires. But he knows that life is not an end in itself but a means to an end .... Yet he first has to be introduced to spiritual knowledge .... His intellect must first occupy itself, and then it is up to his will whether the knowledge, which is supplied to him from outside, penetrates the heart and takes root there. And only then can this knowledge become spiritual knowledge and increase, which, however, always presupposes a life of love which the human being can lead on the basis of divine commandments but also of inner impulse, and then his knowledge will increase accordingly from within .... through the working of the divine spirit which rests as a spark in every human being's soul. But if the human being has no spiritual knowledge at all his earthly life has been in vain so far, it has not yet brought him any spiritual success, he cannot register any degree of spiritual progress, he is still completely in darkness because the light in him has not yet been able to shine, because the spiritual spark has not yet been ignited and therefore it is still night in him. And this state is worrying for the human being, for it proves his spiritual low, it proves the uselessness of his earthly life so far and the danger he is in if he does not change .... which can only happen if he lives a life of love. Love is light, and love gives light to man .... Love awakens the spiritual spark to life, love connects the human being and thus also his spirit with God, and love therefore brings him knowledge .... And this is why you humans are constantly admonished to live a life of love, this is why the divine commandments of love are constantly held up to you, which Jesus gave you and exemplified to you when He lived on earth and which will always be the most urgent thing for you if you want to ascend in your development as long as you live on earth .... Without love no human being will attain wisdom, i.e. the spiritual knowledge which corresponds to truth; and without love there will be no maturing of the soul which shall shape itself such that it can enter the kingdom of light and beatitude after its departure from this earth .... For it shall attain realization on earth, the spiritual darkness shall already fall away from it on earth, it shall attain light, it shall gain knowledge which informs it of all correlations and which will also make it happy, because it will only now enter the original state again in which it was in the beginning ...._>Amen

God's address to the souls in darkness ....

B.D. 7844 from March 7th 1961, taken from Book No. 82

I am a kind father, full of mercy and long-suffering, full of patience and love, and you will never need to fear that I will turn away from you, even if you have become sinful, even if you have distanced yourselves from Me and resisted Me .... My love and grace is for you nevertheless, and I seek to help you who, through your sinfulness, have also fallen into wickedness .... I take care of you .... I send My messengers to you and they speak to you as human beings so that you will believe sooner than if I were to address you Myself .... which, however, would not be possible in your sinful state because then you would not be able to tolerate the light which would shine upon you if you were addressed directly. But you shall nevertheless experience the benefit of light when small sparks of light flash up and illuminate the darkness in which you still dwell as a result of your sin, as a result of your inner defensive position towards Me, which always brought a state of darkness and wretchedness for you .... But it can also become light again around you .... You just have to believe that the God Who called you into life is a God of love Who does not want His living creations to live in wretchedness but wants to make them happy forever. Therefore you should turn to this God of love and ask Him to have mercy on you .... And you will learn about Jesus Christ, Who once walked the earth as your brother in order to redeem you from your guilt of sin .... You will learn of Him and also of His work of redemption, of His death on the cross, which He suffered for your guilt .... And you will also learn that you must turn to Him, and when you do so you will also recognize that it was your God and father from eternity Who laid down His life on the cross for your guilt .... and then you will truly be saved for all eternity, then you will be drawn to Me in Jesus, and you will make use of My love and grace, My mercy, gentleness and patience .... You will ask Me to accept you, and now you have given up your resistance and stepped out of darkness into brightest light. Your state has changed into a state of bliss, and you will now be full of love yourselves and distribute love to all those who, like you, dwelled in deepest darkness (shall reach the light) .... Let all of you be addressed by My messengers who want to bring you light into the darkness; follow the sparks of light when they flash in the darkness and you will truly be guided to where you may hear My word .... the word which is directly conveyed by Me to earth and which also resounds in the kingdom of the beyond in order to bring salvation to the souls there which are in great distress .... And believe that you were created by a God of love Who also wants you to be blessed, you who made yourselves unworthy of this bliss .... But I see your suffering, your darkness, I want to help you find the light, so that you return to Me again, Who is the light of eternity and Who wants to and can give you beatitude. And believe that I am waiting in Jesus for your coming to Me, that you only need to acknowledge Jesus Christ as the divine redeemer and that you will then no longer refuse to acknowledge Me as you once did but return to the father from Whom you once originated .... Let yourselves be redeemed, rise from the depths, follow the light which occasionally flashes upon you, and you will truly be saved from darkness, you will ascend to the light and be blessed ...._>Amen

Deepening into the word of God ....

B.D. 7845 from March 8th 1961, taken from Book No. 82

What leads you towards perfection is repeatedly announced to you through My word: You should work on your soul, you should bring it to maturity as long as you walk the earth as a human being .... You should change your nature into love. For you lack love as long as you do not turn to Me and open yourselves for My illumination of love. And therefore I speak to you again and again, and it should always be your desire to hear Me, you should desire the 'word of God' and again and again take time to immerse yourselves in My word, be it by reading or listening to My word of God or also by intimate thoughts which have Me as their content .... You should connect with Me as often as possible .... and your earthly course will truly not be in vain. As long as you let Me speak to you, you will also know My will, you will know My teaching of love, My lawful order; you will know your purpose of earthly life, and you need only take My word to heart, think it through and live it out according to My will .... And then you will also carry out the work of the soul, you will help it to perfection and make use of the blessings with which I abundantly shower you. Thus you will then live a spiritual life next to your earthly life, which will also make demands on you but which can be easily led if you think of the soul's life first, because its maturing is the actual purpose of earthly life. But anyone who never lets Me Myself speak to him, who never desires the 'word of God', his life will be an idle one, and his soul will not have taken a step in its higher development at the end, for it has only lived out its earthly life and the soul has not gained any advantage, it is on the same level as at the beginning of its embodiment as a human being and will enter the kingdom of the beyond in a dark state if it has the grace to be called away before the end .... which can therefore be called a grace because it still has the opportunity to mature in the spiritual kingdom if its resistance then is not the same as on earth .... But if it still lives on this earth until the end without having changed beforehand, its fate will irrevocably be a new banishment into matter, because then there will no longer be a possibility to ascend in the beyond; for then the gates will be closed there too and a separation of spirits will occur .... as it is proclaimed. For this reason every person should let himself be addressed by Me so that he will become aware of the seriousness of his situation .... he should seek to know My will and submit himself to this will of his own accord, and he will truly still be saved, because I will not let a soul fall whose good will I recognize, whose resistance against Me subsides and which listens to Me when I speak to it. Only the human being should ask himself why he lives on earth .... He should try to fathom the purpose of earthly life and will always be assisted by Me so that it will be fulfilled .... He will be addressed by Me in various ways so that his soul will be touched and begin to work on itself. And it should only be willing to work with love .... Then the right realization will truly come to it, then it will also seek and find the bond with Me, and earthly life will not be lived in vain, because I will certainly help where the soul itself is still too weak, and with My help it will certainly reach its aim. Therefore don't shut yourselves off when I want to speak to you, for I have many ways and many means to address you, only you should not resist Me, for I will not violently break it, yet then you will be in great danger .... But I want you not to perish; I want you to gain eternal life and will therefore never leave you without help ...._>Amen

Remembrance .... rejoicing in the kingdom of light ....

B.D. 7846 from March 9th 1961, taken from Book No. 82

One day you will be able to look back and follow your whole course of development when you have entered the kingdom of light, and you will not be able to praise My love and grace enough and thank Me when you realize how I only ever endeavoured to create spiritual progress for you so that the path to Me became ever shorter and you were able to reach Me one day. But during your earthly life as a human being your recollection has to be taken away from you, for you have to pass the last earthly life test in free will, but this would make the recollection of your past life in the creations of earth impossible, for you would turn to Me driven by fear. Yet this would not be enough for Me, for I want your love .... I want your voluntary return to Me which will then also prove your love for Me. Nevertheless, I instruct you about your infinitely long process of development, only you are not forced to believe this, and even if you believe it you don't know about the torments and the state of wretchedness during the time when your will is still bound .... you don't let yourselves be impressed to such an extent that you now change your will out of fear. Your nature alone will always be decisive as to whether you change it into love .... Accordingly, your desire for Me and the guarantee for your voluntary return to Me. But again, it is good if the knowledge of the state of torment in the bound will is presented to you, for it can make you think, and it can also convince you of My infinite love and patience which does everything to win you back again .... The knowledge can cause you to lead your way of life responsibly and make an effort to fulfil My will, of which you also take notice as soon as this knowledge is also presented to you. But it is always your free will how you adjust yourselves to such knowledge which informs you of a long course of development before the embodiment as a human being. And that is why only few people consciously live their earthly life. For only a few accept such knowledge, only a few allow themselves to be taught by My messengers, and I can only speak to very few in order to impart this knowledge to them. Yet the jubilation in the kingdom of light will be indescribable when the soul has completed its earthly life, when it has voluntarily taken the path to Me, when it brightly and clearly overlooks everything and thus also overlooks its long course of development .... Then My greater than great love will become apparent to it, then the love for Me will also flare up ever more hotly in it, and then it will also want to show its gratitude, and it will want to take part in the work of redemption in order to help the still struggling spiritual being to attain the same happiness and the same abundance of light in bliss again .... For love impels it to constant activity, love is meant for Me and also for the still wretched spirits, and love does not rest, for it wants to make everything happy and know everything blissfully that once came forth from Me .... And therefore My love is also constantly endeavouring to return the spiritual substance, and it truly does everything to make the path easier for you, which is of utmost importance especially in the human stage, because free will decides and I constantly influence this will in a good sense but without forcing it. But once I will also certainly reach the aim that you return in free will; but you yourselves can also endlessly prolong the time you need for this if you fail in earthly life as a human being and turn your will wrong again .... yet as soon as you keep to My word, which is offered to you again and again, you can also be certain that you will reach the aim .... For then you will also receive the strength to ascend, and then you will also fulfil My will of your own accord and rightly pass your final test .... And you will thank Me and praise and glorify Me eternally when you are allowed to enter the kingdom of light where you may behold Me face to face ...._>Amen

Only love will achieve the return ....

B.D. 7847 from March 10th 1961, taken from Book No. 82

I want to guide you into beatitude .... consequently I will also do everything that will put you into the state of maturity when you yourselves have the will to become blessed. Love, however, guarantees this state of maturity, love guarantees happiness, because love signifies unification with Me and then I can also give you the bliss caused by My emanation of love. Thus time and again I encourage you through My Word to do kind deeds, I arrange your earthly fate such that you will have many opportunities to serve with love .... I try to ignite the spark of love in you which spreads and seizes everything with its glow. You can only become blessed through love because it was your original state, since you once came forth from My love and therefore were love yourselves in your fundamental substance .... And you were happy in your original state since you were closely connected to Me and thus constantly received My emanation of love which could only be bliss.

The fact that you changed your nature into the opposite of yourselves, that you rejected My emanation of love, that you turned towards the one who was devoid of all love, has made you wretched too .... But you are My living creations, and My infinite love will not allow you to be eternally wretched, for love wants to bestow happiness, love wants to know happiness and make happy .... and My love will never end .... Thus, as long as you are wretched because your nature is still imperfect, since it has not changed back into love, I will pursue you with My love and thus never leave you to yourselves .... and consequently you cannot be lost forever. But you can prolong the time of your wretchedness yourselves, you can let an infinitely long time pass by without endeavouring to change your nature, and you provide the evidence of this in your earthly life or you would make use of this short earthly life in order to regain your state of blissfulness.

And therefore I often have to intervene harshly, I have to bring the immense earthly hardship home to you which could prompt you into lovingly assisting your fellow human beings, and I have to let you experience such hardship yourselves so that you feel for yourselves how soothingly another person's kind deed can affect you, and thereby you will become motivated yourselves to reciprocate such actions of love .... For only love can achieve a change of your nature, only love will put you into the original state again where you are happy. Yet My love takes all your weakness and faults into account, My love knows your imperfection, your weakness of will and former resistance and yet reveals itself to you anyway, it will help you time and again during earthly and spiritual hardship in order to gain your love too .... For then you will be saved for all eternity.

And if you always just open your eyes and look around yourselves during your earthly life you will be able to recognise My infinite love which is intended for you, My living creations. For everything around you was only created for you, creation emerged for the sake of your return, you experience your existence as a human being for the sake of your return, and for the sake of your return I reveal Myself every day through happenings and experiences of all kinds. For I don't want to leave you in wretchedness, I want you to recognise Me in earthly life as your God and Creator, as your Father Who loves you and to Whom you shall belong again as in the beginning ....

And truly, one day you will be blessed again, one day you will push towards Me full of love, one day you will return to Me as children into your Father's house .... And I will always help so that you won't delay this return due to your own fault .... but I will always leave you your free will which is part of supreme blissfulness since it is the evidence of your divinity. And therefore you have to become active yourselves, you have to live in accordance with My commandments of love, you have to improve yourselves and shape your nature into love, you have to fight against selfish love and engross yourselves in unselfish neighbourly love .... Yet without love you cannot become blessed ....

Amen

Call to Jesus .... address to souls beyond ....

B.D. 7848 from March 11th 1961, taken from Book No. 82

And you will only be saved if you let yourselves be addressed by Me, for My address guarantees you grace and strength which you need for your ascent. You are still in the abyss as long as the light of realization does not shine upon you .... But if you have light then you will also know which path you have to take. Then you come to Me yourselves in Jesus and ask Me for forgiveness of your sins, for redemption .... And this small light will always be kindled for you, for the knowledge of Jesus and His act of salvation is necessary for you to believe in Him and take the path to Him. However, if you still live in darkness then you don't know Him, your God and father of eternity .... Then your thoughts are wrongly directed, then you walk in dark spiritual night, you are blind in spirit because you are still in the bondage of My adversary from whom the divine redeemer Jesus Christ has to release you .... so that you will become free and now also have access to the kingdom of light .... And you can be certain that the knowledge of Him will be conveyed to you again and again, that a small light from Me will shine upon you again and again and that you only have to enter this glow of light yourselves in order to also gain the realization that there is one Who can release you from the darkness. And if you take the path to Him then you will also be safely led out of the darkness, then you will also receive the strength to take the path upwards, for the path of ascent requires strength, and again and again My infinite love grants you blessings which you have not deserved because you sank into darkness through your own fault. Yet even if you have become sinful of your own free will I am always willing to forgive your guilt of sin if only you acknowledge Me Myself in Jesus, Who suffered death on the cross for you in order to redeem you. No other can bring you salvation from darkness, no other can loosen your chains which My adversary has thrown over you, no other opens the gate to the kingdom of light for you than Jesus Christ, the son of God and redeemer of the world .... For in Him I have embodied Myself, in the shell of the man Jesus the great spirit of eternity has manifested Himself .... Thus it is I Myself Whom you call upon for the redemption of guilt when you call upon Jesus and appeal for His salvation. And you who know nothing about Him .... whether on earth or in the kingdom of the beyond .... you must therefore be given the knowledge, and therefore My name shall be proclaimed in the world, therefore Jesus' act of salvation shall be mentioned, therefore I instruct My disciples of the last days in all truth about the mission of the man Jesus, so that you will also be able to believe if you are willing to believe. Through My word I impart the knowledge to you which is necessary for you to take the path to Me, for you must take the path to the cross, through your acknowledgement of Jesus Christ you must also acknowledge Me Myself, just as you once rejected Me and therefore became sinful. And you will truly not go astray if you accept this knowledge, if you call upon Jesus Christ for mercy. He will truly change your wretched fate into a blessed one, He will take care of you and lead you to the heights .... And you, who still languish in darkness, will become increasingly brighter; you will feel at ease in the light and constantly desire more to be illuminated by Me Myself, to hear My word, which is a direct illumination of love on My part .... You will truly not remain in the abyss, for as soon as you call upon Jesus He will stretch His hands out to you in kind compassion, which you need only grasp in order to be lifted up from the abyss .... You will find entrance into the kingdom of light as soon as you approach Him for the redemption of your guilt .... For My light shines into the darkness, and blessed are those who follow the rays and come to Jesus Christ ...._>Amen

What is creation? .... reshaped power ....

B.D. 7849 from March 12th 1961, taken from Book No. 82

When the world was created, the fall of man had already taken place in the kingdom of the spirits, for this was the cause of creation .... it was the cause for a world to arise which was formed from the strength which flowed forth from Me when I created the spiritual beings. It was a world whose substance was precisely that once created spiritual substance which fell away from Me. The strength emanated by Me for the creation of those beings did not work according to My will, those beings did not fulfil their purpose, and thus I gave the strength another purpose .... I dissolved the beings, the fallen spiritual beings, and now let creations of a different kind arise from the strength .... For the power had to become active according to the law of eternity .... It was not a lifeless world which now came into being, for all strength expresses itself, it is constantly active. And thus My will also assigned each work of creation its purpose, which was then fulfilled by the inherent strength in the law of compulsion .... Thus the beings were transformed into works of creation of various kinds, thus it was certainly a 'spiritual' world but the strength had condensed into form, visible creations had arisen through My will .... However, they were only visible to the human being, to the being which, having once fallen, had passed through this creation for the purpose of changing back to Me, from Whom it had once fallen away. Thus the human being can see My creations and he can also be instructed as to what this creation is in its essence .... And when his soul has attained a certain degree of maturity then the human being knows that he lives in the midst of the once fallen spiritual substance, that everything around him is reshaped spiritual strength which was once formed into beings which My will of love let arise .... To possess this realization is already the sign that the once fallen original spirit .... the human being .... is close to its original state and that everything around him is a transformed spiritual force and that it only needs to take a few more steps to arrive at Me again, at its father from eternity .... What is creation? .... Every person should ask himself this question, and if his question is serious he will certainly receive clarification and be given proof that he is already in a high state of development. The strength which flows forth from Me must become effective, it cannot remain inactive. But the beings called into life by Me refused to carry out the activity assigned to them; they turned away from Me, closed themselves to the inflowing strength of love and consequently also became incapable of activity. They hardened in their substance .... which is why I dissolved them and let them become creations of a different kind, so that the strength could become effective again, and this according to My will. But My love and My wisdom also intended a plan with the creation: That which once voluntarily refused to be active in My will now exercises the activity in the law of compulsion, and thus the once emanated strength was induced into a serving activity. That is the meaning and purpose of the whole of creation, that the strength becomes effective according to My will .... And thus every work of creation also has its purpose, which again serves another work of creation to come into being and to exist. Everything that is visible to you shall remind you of My greater than great love and wisdom, for you shall recognize everything as a work of help for the fallen original spirits to regain their former nature, where they were exceedingly full of light and mighty .... You should see in everything that is visible to you the path I have prepared for My living creations so that they can return to their origin on it again; you should learn to look at creation as a great work of mercy by Me which gives you the opportunity to attain the beatitude again which you gave away yourselves of your own free will. But you should also never forget that you yourselves, in the stage as a human being, have to strive for the final perfection, because this can only be achieved in free will. Therefore you should also learn about your earthly progress through this creation and now try to achieve with all your strength that you will find the union with Me again on earth, which you once voluntarily severed. For you shall finally return to Me from Whom you once came forth in all perfection ...._>Amen

The true church of Christ .... Peter, the rock ....

B.D. 7850 from March 13th 1961, taken from Book No. 82

Every devout Christian belongs to the church which I Myself founded on earth .... But I emphasize: every devout Christian .... For many people only call themselves ‘Christians’ because they belong to a ‘Christian’ denomination, to a denomination which certainly preaches of Christ .... but this does not prove that the people also have a living faith in Him .... And I demand this faith in Me because My church is built upon a profound, living faith. People do not, in fact, openly reject the teachings which have been passed on in tradition .... they dare not disagree, but they have no profound unquestionable faith in My act of Salvation, in My actions as a human being on this earth. Therefore, I cannot acknowledge them as living Christians who belong to My church either, rather they are mere nominal members, formal Christians .... They are people who have never spent serious thought on the problem of God’s human manifestation in Jesus, nor do they know about the mission of Jesus the human being, instead they merely consider the events surrounding Jesus the man as a myth, possibly believing in Him as an idealist who wanted the best for His fellow human beings .... But even this cannot be rated by Me as ‘faith in Jesus Christ and His act of Salvation’ ....

However, anyone with a living faith also knows why I demand such faith, so that I can bestow eternal bliss upon him .... This is because an irrevocable part of it is love, only this gives birth to a living faith, and you humans must have this love in order to clearly understand the significance of My act of Salvation for humanity and the reason for My life on earth. And only those who have arrived at such awareness can talk about a maturing of their souls, which is the purpose and aim of earthly life as a human being .... Because My spirit, which I promised to everyone who belongs to My church, to everyone who believes in Me, is working in them .... Enlightenment by the spirit is the sign of belonging to My church, which I Myself founded on earth and if you humans call yourselves ‘Christians’ while your spirit is not yet enlightened the name ‘Christ’ cannot mean anything at to you at all .... You are outside of My church even if you belong to an organisation which speaks of Me, because you do not heed the only important sermon: that you should fulfil the commandments of love, which are undeniably taught by every church but which are not made the focal point and therefore it mainly produces dead Christians. However, anyone living with love can belong to any ecclesiastical organisation .... he will be a member of My church, because it is built on the living faith which sprung to life through love .... You can only become blessed through love ....

Thus, you will have to comply with My divine teaching of love and thereby prove to Me that you want to belong to My church. And since the divine teaching of love is being preached in every Christian organisation you have to exemplify this teaching first and foremost, you should not give precedence to other additional commandments by people, for these do not benefit the soul’s maturity but only stop you from fulfilling My will, Who gave you the commandments of love for God and other people. Thus, living Christians, who will subsequently be regarded as members of the church founded by Me, will be able to emerge from every church. But not one of these churches can claim to be the only beatifying one, because only love results in blissfulness and this love can and will be practised by followers of all denominations, who will then also be regarded as true Christians, who are aspirants for My kingdom which is not of this world. Consequently, it is irrelevant which school of thought you join in earthly life if only your life of love leads you to a living faith in Me and My act of Salvation .... Then I will admit you into My church, then you will also exemplify My Word which I taught on earth; you can follow Me by living with love, as I have done. In this way you will become true followers of My teaching, because I came to earth to ignite the love which you humans had stifled due to My adversary’s influence .... I taught love and exemplified it .... and anyone living with love like Me follows Me, he joins Me .... He belongs to the church I founded because he has the same faith as Peter, the rock on which I built My church .... Do understand these Words correctly and do not apply their wrong interpretation .... Because Peter’s followers are only those who, by means of a life of love, have acquired the very same solid faith within themselves and who thus have the right to call themselves followers of ‘My church’ ....

Amen

Complete devotion to God is return to Him ....

B.D. 7851 from March 15th 1961, taken from Book No. 82

And it is enough for you to know that all things are known to Me, that I know every person's thoughts and that nothing can remain hidden from Me because I permeate everything, because I know everything that happens in you and therefore you cannot deceive Me. And when you have this realization you can only worship Me in spirit and in truth, then your mouth will not just speak empty words, then you will openly and confidently direct your thoughts to Me and present all your needs to Me, you will not try to gloss over anything, you will not want to hide anything from Me, and then you will hand yourselves over to Me and let Me rule according to My wisdom and My love, for then you will have the right concept of God .... I am the most perfect being for you, you no longer apply a human standard to Me and make yourselves My own .... You recognize Me as your God and father of eternity and also consciously acknowledge Me. And because you recognize Me as the most perfect being you will also love Me .... and love has no secrets from each other, you offer your heart to Me completely openly, you don't try to hide anything, for the love within you urges you to completely devote yourselves to Me, it gives you complete trust .... Love now establishes the right relationship with Me: the relationship of a child with its father. Love indissolubly unites the child with the father and the aim is reached, the return to the father, to Me, from Whom the child once came forth as a creature. You humans should all gain this realization during your earthly life that the living God, Whom you certainly acknowledge as creator above you, wants to be your father with Whom you should seek intimate unity .... Who wants to possess your whole heart because He loves you, because you came forth from His love .... And therefore you should also know that I am supremely perfect .... But perfection includes everything: Love, wisdom, power, justice, mercy, long-suffering, patience .... And you shall be allowed to experience all these qualities in yourselves, so that you may learn to know and love Me .... And you should never doubt that the most perfect being loves you and longs for your love, that It longs for your union with It and therefore will also reveal Itself to you again and again as the most perfect being. And you should only open yourselves, thus let yourselves be drawn by Me without inner resistance .... And then you will push towards Me of your own accord, because you will learn to recognize Me as soon as only My love can touch you. Then you will humbly approach Me and entrust yourselves to Me, then you will no longer hold back, then you will understand My nature, that it can only be supremely perfect, and in the awareness of your own weakness and imperfection you will give yourselves to Me .... But devotion to Me is union with Me; complete devotion to Me is the return to Me; then the human being himself has broken down all barriers which still existed between him and Me .... he has become Mine and will remain so for all eternity ...._>Amen

Knowledge of the spiritual motives of the work of redemption ....

B.D. 7852 from March 16th 1961, taken from Book No. 82

It is up to you yourselves how you will engage in My work of redemption, for your will is free .... I will not force a person to take the path to the cross, he has to walk it on his own .... but I will always make sure that he receives the knowledge about Jesus Christ and His act of salvation, because the path to Him is also the path to Me, Who accomplished the act of salvation Myself in the human being Jesus. And this knowledge must correspond to the truth, for it is not enough to merely mention an event whose significance is not made comprehensible to you. Nor is it enough to look at it from an earthly-human point of view, for profound spiritual motives were the reason why the man Jesus walked across earth and suffered the most bitter suffering and finally the most agonising death on the cross .... And these spiritual motives will give you light and now also determine your will to acknowledge Him and consciously avail yourselves of the blessings of the act of salvation if only you are of good will. If this knowledge is presented to you incomprehensibly then you will never recognize and acknowledge Him as your redeemer from sin and death, for only the pure truth will bring you the right light as soon as you take a stand on it. And since I long for your return to Me, Who embodied Myself in the man Jesus in order to redeem you humans, I will also always make sure that you are instructed in the truth about Him, because I want you to take the path to the cross, that you also carry your guilt of sin there, that you also appeal to Him for forgiveness of your guilt .... For then you will also take the path to Me, your God and father from eternity, and you will return to your father's house .... But in the end time My adversary rages, and he fights with all means against it, that it becomes light in you .... In the last days the image of the divine redeemer fades more and more among people, they don't know or recognize Him, they don't know the significance of His earthly life, they often completely doubt His existence or they reject everything they are told without any reservations and don't know that they also reject Me Myself with Him, for He and I are one and I Myself came to earth in Jesus in order to release you humans from My adversary's control. But he wants to stop everything that could give you humans clarity, he wants to block the path which leads to Me, and therefore he also wants to eradicate from you humans all knowledge, all truth about Jesus Christ and His act of salvation, he wants to induce you to deny Him, He wants to cause you to deny Him in order to keep you under his control from which, however, Jesus Christ would like to release you and can do so if you are of the same will to be released by Him and approach Me Myself in Jesus to help you and redeem your guilt of sin .... And again and again I will therefore address you humans and again and again point out the act of salvation and its significance to you, I will enlighten you and make the spiritual motives of My human manifestation in Jesus comprehensible to you, I will instruct you in the truth, because this alone can bring you the right light, and again and again I will admonish you to take a stand yourselves on the spiritual knowledge conveyed to you, so that you will find the right path, the path to the cross .... For no other path leads to beatitude, you must take the path Jesus took, you must follow Him and He will truly open the gates to beatitude for you, He will not leave you in darkness, He will release you from the adversary's power, for if you take the path to Him you will also take the path to Me, Who was Myself in Him when He accomplished the act of salvation .... You come to Me, Who manifested Myself in Jesus, in order to be able to be visible to you, My living creations. Only ever let yourselves be instructed in truth and then you will also be drawn to Me, Whom you only learn to love through truth and Who constantly draws you to Himself through His love, Who will not rest until you have returned eternally .... until you have become Mine and will now remain Mine forever ...._>Amen

Strokes of fate .... Spiritual death ....

B.D. 7853 from March 17th 1961, taken from Book No. 82

People who no longer have faith in a God and Creator, in the soul's continuation of life after death, have already succumbed to spiritual death, for they do not believe that they live on earth for a purpose and reason but only regard this life as an end in itself. They only move on an earthly level, their thoughts don't find the path into the spiritual kingdom, for they refuse to accept and follow thoughts which originate from there. They are purely humanly-orientated creatures with such a low degree of maturity that the destiny of a renewed banishment almost certainly awaits them, because their free will, instead of striving upwards, aims downwards again .... They have already attained some life and yet surrender to death again .... And neither can they be stopped because it is their free will, because it concerns the last and entirely free decision of will in earthly life. God, however, wants to give everlasting life to people .... And people must accept it from His hand, they cannot receive it from anywhere else than from their eternal God and Creator, nevertheless, they don't believe in Him and thus they won't ask Him for it either. Consequently, He can only impose upon them a destiny in earthly life which dissuades them from the material world and makes them think .... He can only shatter their earthly happiness and hopes because he wants to save them, because He wants to help them to attain the life which will last forever .... For if the human being's every earthly wish and craving finds fulfilment, he will constantly want more and increasingly turn his thoughts towards earthly things, and then his life will only be an end in itself for him but never become the means to an end.

You should therefore not be surprised that events which, in an earthly sense, have a disastrous effect on those who are affected by them, will increase during the last days .... that accidents and all kinds of disasters will claim countless human lives, that earthly possessions will be destroyed and that people will have to suffer illness and distress .... These are merely the means used by God Himself in order to find access to those people's hearts who refuse access to Him as long as their earthly way of life is good .... Anything He can still do will be done by Him in order to save those people who are approaching death. For spiritual death is far worse than physical death, which need not affect the soul if the person has lived his earthly life appropriately .... the soul cannot die but it must suffer the consequences of the person's thinking and conduct on earth. It will irrevocably have to experience the fate of renewed banishment if it still hasn't found God before the end, if it does not learn to recognise Him before the end and consciously acknowledges Him and appeals to Him for help and mercy in its spiritual adversity. And to make this possible much is yet to happen which you don't think you can reconcile with the love of a God .... But it is love, no matter how cruel it seems to you, for the soul's spiritual death is far more painful than the most horrendous strokes of fate can be on this earth .... For earthly life comes to an end, the soul, however, must spend an infinitely long time in torment and darkness again before it will receive the grace once more to live on earth as a human being with the same task: to voluntarily make a decision in favour of the One from Whom it once originated .... to voluntarily decide in favour of God from Whom it once voluntarily turned away and therefore became wretched. And it can only become blissfully happy again if it has fulfilled the meaning and purpose of its existence as a human being .... Then it will attain life again, it will no longer need to fear death, it will live forever as soon as it returns to God once more, as soon as it has united with Him again, for which its existence as a human being provided it with the opportunity to do and its will made the right decision ....

Amen

Sacrifice and renunciation ....

B.D. 7854 from March 20th 1961, taken from Book No. 82

The father fulfils all your requests which you send up to Him in spirit and in truth .... For it is only possible for you to receive true enlightenment in a spiritual way if you desire it. Yet you should also be aware of the fact that you must also prove yourselves worthy of being addressed by Me and that you therefore must also have the firm will to live for My pleasure .... Hence your salvation should prompt you to ask Me questions, not earthly motives, for I want to win your souls and for the sake of this purpose you listen to My word. And so I ask you: Why don't you give yourselves completely to Me? .... Why do you still seek the world and its lust? .... Why is it so difficult for you to renounce the latter when you know that I have far more glorious joys in store for you which will compensate you a thousandfold for everything you voluntarily sacrificed to Me on earth? .... All My love belongs to you, and this desires your love in return .... and you shall prove it to Me by also being willing to make sacrifices to Me. And you will know for yourselves when and how you can bring Me a sacrifice .... and truly, every sacrifice will result in its blessing. You yourselves have free will and I can only call out to you: Remember your souls .... But whatever you do or refrain from doing must be done entirely voluntarily, you must not be influenced by anyone, for every influence can also have the opposite effect, that you inwardly rebel and distance yourselves from Me. You should put self-love on the back burner but let neighbourly love come to the fore, and you will truly achieve much .... and always seek refuge with Me .... For you should know that My adversary constantly tries to harass you and that you only reject him if you take the path to Me. (20.3.1961) And I want your love .... as soon as it is meant for Me you will no longer be able to love anything apart from Me which still belongs to My adversary .... Do you understand this? Love for Me also protects you from physical desire, for then I will be above everything, you will also want to gain and keep My love forever. Hence love should always motivate you to give yourselves away, love should always motivate you to relinquish .... You should always place your fellow human being's well-being above your own desire, and through your love for your fellow human being you will also prove your love for Me. You should fight self-love, and that also means overcoming your own desires if you can help your neighbour by doing so, i.e. by making your neighbour happy, by giving and helping him when he is in need .... If you have love within you, then you also know what you have to do, for love guides your thoughts right .... Love also awakens counter-love, and you should always bear this in mind that every lack of love awakens hostility and you will then no longer be able to cope with the evil spirits which will beset you .... You should always bear in mind that I do not evaluate the deed but the will, that I always judge according to whether love is the impetus for your will and action .... I condemn all self-love, I will bless all self-sacrificing love. But where all love is missing the door is opened for the adversary and you will not easily get rid of him again. And yet I know your innermost thoughts, you cannot hide anything from Me, your thoughts are open and clear to Me. But nevertheless you should come to Me and present everything to Me with complete trust that I will help you in all adversity. But I want to see your love, for if you are without love you will never be able to unite with Me, you will not be able to pray to Me intimately either, for there is resentment in your hearts if love is not in you, because My adversary has planted the seed which will now sprout where I Myself cannot be. Therefore seek to purify your hearts from such thoughts which are not in accordance with love for Me and your neighbour. Free yourselves from every kind of selfish love because it will prevent you from showing your neighbour the love he needs in order to be able to radiate love in return. And you will join Me ever more intimately, for true love, giving love which wants to please will always lead to Me, for it does not seek its own happiness but only that of the other person. And this one alone will now also live his life with Me and I will help him if he needs My help, I will bless his good will and protect him from every adversity of body and soul ...._>Amen

Divine Working of the spirit .... Speaking in tongues .... I.

B.D. 7855 from March 20th 1961, taken from Book No. 82

It is My will that everything will become clear to you, that you will receive the answer to the questions you entertain and which you present to Me for a reply. For it is necessary to still correct many errors you humans received from ignorant sources and which can only be clarified through My spirit, for it will guide you into all truth. Only My spirit can give you the right answer, but My spirit must be able to express itself, which presupposes a certain degree of maturity of soul. And it is definitely a blessing for you humans if you don't reject this spirit within you, if you allow its working by shaping yourselves such that I can illuminate you with My spirit .... that your indwelling spiritual spark therefore seeks contact with the Father-Spirit of eternity and instructs you, that it enlightens you, that it informs you of spiritual knowledge, that it guides you into truth .... Since you still live in spiritual darkness as long as My light cannot shine in you, you urgently need light which I Myself will ignite in you if you live according to My will, if you thus work at attaining the said maturity of soul which allows for the working of My spirit in you .... And now I Am asking you: What blessing do you humans derive from My working of the spirit if you merely hear the sound of unintelligible words? .... If a person goes into raptures and speaks words you cannot understand? .... Do you believe, My spirit works like that? Do you believe that you thereby become enlightened in your thinking, that you attain realisation, that truthful knowledge is imparted to you in this way? .... You call this 'speaking in tongues' and don't know what to make of such a tangle of words which are voiced by people who are controlled by evil spirits, who want to show off and deem themselves beyond being tested .... Such 'working of the spirit' is a deception by spirits .... which can take possession of people whose need for admiration is still too strong, who want to stand out and send themselves into ecstasies .... For that which comes from Me is light and clear, it does not spread renewed darkness amongst people. And thus, as long as you experience things which do not grant you light, not complete clarity, I Am not at work, as I Am the Light of eternity .... You humans need only ever apply the yardstick as to whether and to what extent you gain light and realisation .... Then you will have the clear answer to the question, who is at work .... For forces will never express themselves such that it only causes confusion, and I will never want you to be plunged from one question and ambiguity into another and for this emanate My working .... It is My will that there shall be light amongst people who desire the light themselves, but I also want you to turn to Me Myself and shape your hearts such that I Myself can work through My spirit in you .... I do not want you to hand yourselves over to immature spirits which throw you into ever greater darkness and are able to do so because you merely want to be imbued by 'a spirit' .... but not awaken the spiritual spark in you to life through love, which will then seek contact with the eternal Father-Spirit .... And this spirit will truly guide you into truth, it will speak to you clearly and comprehensibly, it will give you light, providing you seriously desire light ....

Amen

Divine working of the spirit .... Speaking in tongues .... II.

B.D. 7856 from March 23rd 1961, taken from Book No. 82

You may constantly receive My love and grace, at no time ever shall your measure be small, you shall always be given according to your desire. And thus you shall also be instructed if you are uninformed, spiritual knowledge shall be conveyed to you as soon as you require it for your salvation of soul. You shall become enlightened, and this light shines forth in you through the working of My spirit, because I love you. And nothing I bestow upon you will ever increase your darkness, it will never contribute towards spreading spiritual night over you. For when the 'Eternal Light' sends Its ray of love to you, you must be enlightened yourselves, everything must become clear to you. Don't forget this fundamental truth, then you will also always make the right judgment if this is demanded of you in regards to spiritual activity whose origin is debatable. Anything that comes from Me can only be light and only ever ignite light in you .... In contrast, anything that cannot offer you light does not come from Me; instead, its source is with My adversary, whose greatest endeavour is to keep you in spiritual darkness. But now, do not raise the objection that you are incapable of making a correct judgment .... For as soon as you turn to Me with the appeal for spiritual enlightenment, as soon as your request comes from the bottom of your heart and is voiced for the sake of pure truth, you may truly also rely on the fact that it will be granted to you, for every person is pleasing to Me to whom the truth is sacred, who strives for it and who turns to Me Myself, the Eternal Truth Itself. I won't leave you in spiritual darkness, and then you will always have the right thoughts and brightly and clearly recognise as to whether spiritual knowledge originates from Me or My adversary. However, only a few people genuinely desire truth, consequently, much can be presented as truth to the others without recognising the error. For then they will also accept everything thoughtlessly and endorse it again to their fellow human beings as truth and thereby add ever more darkness among the human race.

From My side no forceful elimination of such misguided teachings can ensue, because time and again people will be taken in by My adversary's activity and grant him access for as long as they don't seriously desire and request light from Me and because, until they do, countermeasures on My part will remain unsuccessful on account of people's free will. And so I can only ever grant light to those who want to escape the darkness; but they will indeed be illuminated by My light of love, and they will always recognise where My adversary has intervened in order to confuse people's thoughts. They will know that anything that is puzzling to people can never be My activity .... that I Am never at work when people speak what no-one can understand .... when they present themselves as being 'filled by the spirit of God' and cannot provide their fellow human beings with any light whatsoever. Don't believe every spirit, instead, test them seriously .... For My opposing spirit is working as well, especially during the time of the end, and he will cause increasingly more confusion by hiding behind My Word, behind the Book of the Fathers. He will draw you humans into error and be able to do so because you believe you know the truth and therefore don't seriously desire the truth, for which you must call upon Me for enlightenment. You believe that you can draw the truth from the Book of Books and fail to appeal to Me for the right spirit, so that you will understand this book properly, so that you won't merely read the letter without grasping the spirit concealed behind the letter. For the letter kills, only the spirit gives life. However, you can only grasp the spiritual meaning of the Word if a light has been kindled in you, if My spirit is able to work in you which enlightens you from within, so that you then will understand the meaning of the written Word. And you should always make sure as to whether you receive a very clear explanation .... For only that which comes from Me gives you this clear explanation. What you cannot understand despite your best intentions, what makes you question even more, is not from Me .... And you can unhesitatingly reject it as the working of My opposing spirit and need not be afraid that you will be held to account because of your rejection .... For the light will always affect you beneficially, whereas the darkness will make those of you withdraw who desire light. And My spirit is not at work as long as you question, as long as you cannot see clearly, instead, it is the work of the one who fights the light, i.e. the truth, and you should keep away from him ....

Amen

Charity .... following Jesus .... truth ....

B.D. 7857 from March 24th 1961, taken from Book No. 82

O take My way of life as an example for all of you and follow Me .... Live a life of love, practice patience and gentleness towards your neighbour, be peaceable and merciful and only ever strive to win your fellow human being's love, for then you will also encourage him to take you as an example and to live a life of love according to My will. Only love can help you to become blissfully happy, and therefore you must change your nature .... You must overcome selfish love, you must merge into love for your neighbour, your whole will and thinking must be borne by love .... you must not think of your neighbour in spitefulness, you must not harm him, you must not make yourselves judges over him, you must also patiently bear his weaknesses and only ever lovingly help him onto the right path so that he also recognizes himself and endeavours to change his nature .... And My blessing will rest on all will and actions, you will now follow Me in truth, Who was full of love and always ready to help. Therefore, whatever you undertake must always be determined by love .... you must always ask yourselves how I would act in your place? And your heart will always give you the answer that you only ever let love rule and don't give room to any ignoble thoughts in your heart. But you should also always remain in truth and not let your neighbour walk in error either, you should help him to recognize his error because it cannot result in blessing. Therefore, what you recognize as error you should lovingly present to your neighbour and leave it up to him whether he comes to Me with it and asks Me Myself for right thinking, for clarification. I Myself have promised you that I will not leave you in error if you seriously desire the truth, and I will also always fulfil My promises and give you light where it is still dark in you. But then also expect the answer in your heart when you ask Me questions from your heart .... Let yourselves be addressed by Me Myself and you will also hear a clear answer within yourselves .... It is My will that you enter into a heartfelt bond with Me yourselves, that you come to Me yourselves, so that you hear My address within yourselves and then also prove yourselves how you relate to Me. And I will always give you the opportunity to do so when you are moved by thoughts which you alone are not able to judge properly .... And then you should come to Me and ask Me .... and I will instruct you correctly so that you will feel clarity within yourselves and no longer question but act according to My will, because I put this will into your heart as an answer. And so you should all act yourselves who want to belong to Me .... you should also try to influence your neighbour if you want to be lovingly active towards him and protect him from error or wrongdoing. You only ever need the father, and just as I worked on earth with love, only ever taught love and gave love, so your earthly path should only ever be determined by love, then you will truly be true followers of Me, then you will work for the benefit of your fellow human beings, then you will truly be redeemingly active on earth ...._>Amen

God answers every question through the heart .... I.

B.D. 7858 from March 26th 1961, taken from Book No. 82

Everyone can work in My vineyard if only he has the will to be of service to Me. Yet there are many different things he can do because I only require a profoundly faithful heart which emanates love for its fellow human beings .... thereby awakening love in them again and this will spread and help to gain a living faith in a God and Creator .... And everyone who has a convinced faith of his own can also proclaim Jesus Christ, the divine Redeemer, in Whom I Myself accomplished the act of Salvation .... And he will be of service to Me, he will be My faithful servant, for he will also try to lead his fellow human beings to gain this faith. And I shall bless his will and manifest Myself to him, I will speak to him through his heart, he will sense it, he will be inwardly impelled to accomplish his vineyard work and be stimulated from within to speak to fellow human beings of good will when he meets them. And thus you can all serve Me and participate in the redemption work if this is your will .... The strength to do so will be conveyed to you by Me, Who knows your will and gives it My blessing. For there is great spiritual hardship because people no longer have faith, and My servants must be able to convincingly endorse this faith again if it is to be accepted by their fellow human beings, too. However, this redemption work need not be associated with any unusual activity, anyone can do it if he has living faith in Me and whose love applies to their fellow human beings suffering spiritual adversity, for My spirit works in everyone, even if it is not externally noticeable. And this silent redemptive work is frequently of greater value to Me than work of an externally obvious nature, the latter easily reveals earthly side effects which detract from the redemptive work. This risk occurs if overly eager people want to emphasise spiritual gifts .... if, regardless of where they are, they always expect My direct communication concerning personal wishes .... In that case they no longer allow Me to guide them, instead they try to oblige Me to take their wishes into account .... And then My spirit remains silent .... Then they speak themselves as people and jeopardize My working in them.

I indeed speak to all people through a human mouth if I seek to make the Gospel accessible to them in all purity, and if you humans comply with My will by living up to My Gospel then I will also be able to address every one of you through the heart, so that you will truly receive an answer to every question you have in mind .... But anyone who has not yet shaped himself though love such that he will be able to hear Me by feeling the answer I give to him, cannot expect a communication from those who would like to convey it to him either and thus the latter will pass on words which do not come from Me .... After all, it is My will that you should establish a close bond with Me yourselves, it is My will that you come to Me yourselves, that everyone should shape himself such that I will be able to answer him when he asks .... If you silently assure Me of your will to serve Me and to render redemption work you can also rest assured that I will look after you and you will truly not need any instruction conveyed to you from a fellow human being, for you thereby admit your own inadequacy: lack of love and trust in Me Who knows every question which moves you and Who will answer it if you ask Me .... The silent redemption work rendered by every individual person is truly more pleasing to Me than that carried out due to human influence, for you know that I welcome and accept all of you as My servants if you yourselves offer your services to Me and aim to fulfil My will .... Thus why do you desire confirmations which you expect Me to give to you through a human mouth? You thereby open a door for your adversary who will then try to express himself in accordance with your desire, because you demonstrate that you don't believe in My direct working within you, because you don't believe that I place the answer into your heart when you make contact with Me in prayer .... And due to this unbelief, he whom you should avoid will gain influence .... For he, too, uses fine words and you will seriously have to examine where these words originated from ....

Amen

God answers every question .... II.

B.D. 7859 from March 27th 1961, taken from Book No. 82

The reason why people so easily fall prey to misconception is due to the fact that their attitude towards Me is not yet entirely correct, even if the will for it is there, that is, if they have the will to be of service to Me. Their constant bond with Me would truly protect them from error, that is, they would recognise it as such. However, this bond is still not deep enough, and thus earthly thoughts still come to the fore which are taken up and considered by the intellect, but the intellect often consults a fellow human being and he can, if he is not closely enough united with Me either, also advise him wrongly. For this reason I Am only rarely able to convey the pure truth to earth, because this necessitates the most heartfelt contact with Me which prevents all interference by other forces. And therefore, only that person who establishes this intimate bond with Me and rejects any external influence, who only listens to what I Myself say to him through the heart will be protected from erroneous influence or error. It is indeed My will that you humans should unite in love, that one shall strengthen and support the other in faith, that you treat each other as brothers and strive together towards Me as your Father, but I also want every single person to connect with Me too; I want you to ask Me for advice yourselves .... I want you yourselves to appeal to Me to fulfil your every spiritual and earthly request .... I want this direct bond with Me when it relates to personal questions and wishes .... just as I, on the other hand, send to you My mediators and messengers to whom you should listen if you receive spiritual teachings, if My Gospel is intended to be conveyed to you ....

Understand that I want to speak to you through My instruments and will always do so when 'spiritual information' shall be imparted to you, because you are not capable as yet of receiving such teachings or deeper wisdom directly. Then I will always say: Listen to My messengers and fulfil My will .... But I will never impart thought concepts to you through your fellow human beings which have a different content than a 'spiritual' one .... because you should come to Me yourselves with every personal request. You should learn to differentiate between the 'transmission of My Word' and 'personal speeches' which can be received by anyone who makes heartfelt contact with Me, whereas My Word requires a special mediator or vessel in order to be able to flow into it as an outpouring of My spirit .... And therefore you should be careful and realise that you can easily fall prey to error, for where My adversary recognises a human weakness he can effortlessly slip in and avail himself of it. However, you can rest assured that I protect 'My Word' from every error, from the adversary's influence, because I want to guide you humans into the truth. Nevertheless, you should not carelessly believe every Word which rings out to you as a spiritual transmission, you should seriously scrutinise it as to whether its content is purely spiritual, whether it aims to achieve the maturing of your souls, whether it can be spoken of as given by Me for your soul's salvation. And you should entrust your own wishes to Me, and then I will also speak to you through your heart and you will subsequently know what you should or should not do ....

Amen

Love, wisdom and power of God ....

B.D. 7860 from March 29th 1961, taken from Book No. 82

Where My love and wisdom is active, where My might can become effective, My blessing will also be recognizable, for I only ever endeavour to help you humans to perfect yourselves on earth .... And I bless those who support Me in this endeavour, who enter into My will as a human being, who make it possible for My love, wisdom and might to express itself .... who establish a close bond with Me, their God and father of eternity .... For deep darkness is spread across the earth, people walk in spiritual darkness, they are wrongly guided in their thinking and therefore their way of life does not correspond to My will either, and it would never be possible to lead them towards perfection if a light could not shine for them which leads them out of the darkness of night .... If you humans walk in the light then you will clearly recognize the path which leads to perfection .... And you will also walk it if only you ignite the spark of light within yourselves in free will. For this spark is light whose ray can intensify if only you are of good will. My love for you is boundless, My wisdom recognizes your state, and My might can and will truly seek to improve this state if you don't oppose Me. And therefore I convey My word to earth and bless every person who prepares himself such that he can hear My voice, that he can hear My word, which is truly the greatest means of grace for you to mature in your souls, to perfect you as long as you live on earth. You should never forget that My nature is love, that this love applies to you, My living creations, and that it wants to help you .... And this love of Mine will not let you walk in error if you seriously desire the truth. My wisdom, however, recognizes that you lack the truth but that you can only attain perfection through the truth. So what could be more obvious than for My power to express itself because My love and wisdom would like to supply you with what you lack? If only you seriously try to imagine My nature, if you first believe in My infinite love for you, then you need never fear that this love will deny itself to you .... Thus you need not fear that you, who need the truth, will be deprived of it .... because this would not correspond to My wisdom, which only wants to promote your perfection but not error, confusion and your decline .... And I truly also have the power to push away My adversary who would certainly like to counteract but cannot do so as soon as you are devoted to Me, as soon as you only want to comply with My will, as soon as you entrust yourselves to Me without reservation. Only believe in Me, believe that the father will not let His children run into ruin who trust in His protection and His love .... do not believe that My might was not sufficient to resist My adversary when he wants to oppress you .... when he tries to prevent My working on you .... Love, wisdom and power .... that is My Essence .... Love protects you, wisdom knows all means and power carries out what love and wisdom decide. And thus My 'essence' is always expressed in My word which I convey to you from above and which you can therefore also always recognize as My word .... For I want you humans to attain eternal life, beatitude, light .... For I am the truth, the way and the life .... Whoever entrusts himself to Me unconditionally will also truly reach the light, the truth will be presented to him, he will take the right path and irrevocably reach the life which lasts forever .... Only open yourselves to the light from above which wants to shine upon you, don't close your hearts when My word sounds to you, when it is given to you, because you need My flow of strength of love in order to attain life ...._>Amen

Free will must accept the work of redemption ....

B.D. 7861 from March 30th 1961, taken from Book No. 82

You are bound, and this shows mercy to Me .... you are still in My adversary's bondage as long as you don't let yourselves be redeemed by Me. And therefore you are weakened, you lack strength and light. For he still has you under his control which prevents you from voluntarily letting yourselves be illuminated by My strength of love and coming out of your state of weakness. Yet My love is for you, My living creations, and it has also followed you into the abyss; My love wants to lift you up from the abyss, it wants to help you to ascend again, to return to Me, and My love will not rest until it has reached its aim. But you must remember Me, you must acknowledge Me as your divine redeemer, otherwise you place yourselves outside of those for whom I shed My blood on the cross. Through My crucifixion I redeemed your guilt of sin which caused you to become weak and wretched, I paid the ransom for you to My adversary, but you must now also accept My redemption, you must have the will yourselves to get away from your jailer, you must press towards Me deep in your heart and thereby prove to Me that you have changed your will, which once turned away from Me towards My adversary. And then you will truly become free from him, you will emerge from your state of weakness, you will receive strength and light again and come ever closer to Me, Who is only waiting for your union with Me in free will, which will then also provide you with abundant beatitudes. I did everything for you .... I gave My life on the cross in order to lead you out of wretchedness towards a new life, an eternal life in bliss. However, your own will always remains decisive as to how you relate to Me and My act of salvation. If you don't come under My cross, if you keep yourselves far away from Me, then the burden of sin will remain with you, you will not be released from it and it will press you to the ground, it will keep you in the abyss and you will not be able to lift yourselves up under your burden. And then My death on the cross was in vain for you, you refuse to avail yourselves of the blessings of the act of salvation, and you will never be able to cope with your burden of sin, you will take it with you into the kingdom of the beyond where only He can remove it from you Whom you did not want to acknowledge on earth but Whom you inevitably have to acknowledge if you want to be released from your guilt. For this reason you should take the path to the cross on earth, you should turn to your redeemer Jesus Christ Who, full of mercy, also took your guilt upon Himself when He walked the path to the cross .... You should entrust yourselves to Me and appeal to Me for forgiveness of your guilt, Who took abode in the man Jesus in order to suffer and die for you as a human being, because I took pity on your wretchedness and weakness and wanted to help you in your adversity with My infinite love. Believe that you need Me in order to become blissfully happy and realize that you are not blissfully happy in your present state, that you are weak and helplessly dependent on My grace and mercy, that you therefore have to turn to Me Myself because I will not make your will unfree, because your will itself has to turn to Me, which once turned away from Me in blindness of thought. I died for you on the cross and took all your guilt upon Myself in order to buy your freedom back from the lord, who dragged you down with Him to the abyss .... He will not release you if you yourselves do not want Me to deliver you from his power .... But he is powerless against you if you are only willing to let yourselves be redeemed by Me .... if you go under the cross and there lay your burden of sin at My feet .... and My endless love will truly take it from you .... My endless love will open the gate into the kingdom of light for you and you will reach the life that lasts forever ...._>Amen

The "bound" shall be redeemed ....

B.D. 7862 from April 1st 1961, taken from Book No. 82

You should open your hearts to My illumination of love from above and you will receive delicious spiritual knowledge, because My love pours into an open heart and thus the flow of My love is synonymous with the 'truth from God' which resounds in you as My word. And thus, as soon as divine truth can be bestowed upon you, you will also most lightfully recognize My once spoken word to you of spiritual meaning .... You will know how I want these words of Mine to be understood:

You are in My adversary's chains as long as you have no faith in the divine redeemer Jesus Christ, for you have become his property of your own free will, he has power over you, you are not free but creatures bound by him .... And if you want to become free again, then you must be redeemed by the one Who is stronger than he is and Who broke his power through His crucifixion, Who redeemed you humans from his power with His blood .... This one, Jesus Christ, has broken the chains, the adversary can no longer offer resistance to this one, since He gave His life on the cross in order to restore freedom to the bound creatures, in order to "redeem" them ..... But this 'redemption' could not take place abruptly because every creature which had emerged from My strength and love had its free will which now has to decide for itself whether the creature longs for redemption from its dungeon master, whether it wants to escape from his control. When I appointed My disciples to their ministry, when I instructed them to go out into the world in order to proclaim the gospel to all nations, I instructed them to mention My act of salvation so that people should know that I had descended to earth in order to restore their freedom .... I Myself initiated My disciples into My plan of salvation, I informed them that people were 'bound' and in the adversary's power if they did not take their path to Me, that I would release them from his power .... I instructed My disciples to exercise their ministry and, in turn, to instruct their fellow human beings which path they had to take in order to escape their bondage, in order to become free from My adversary's chains .... for they were supposed to be active in My stead, because I only lived on earth as a human being for a short time, even only with the ultimate aim of redeeming people. But anyone who fully consciously availed himself of the blessings of My act of salvation was prompted by My disciples to change his will, and his return to Me was now also guaranteed, he had taken the right path on earth and this path was now also decisive for eternity .... You humans must understand that you are still 'bound' when you embody yourselves on earth as a human being, and that you take this earthly path in order to find your way out of this bondage. Yet for this reason you must also know that you are bound and who keeps you bound .... And again you must know that there is one Who can bring you release from your bondage and what you must do in order to become free. The knowledge of this is conveyed to you through My word, which My true servants proclaim to you. And these servants must be taught by Me themselves so that they can impart truthful knowledge to you .... And My instruction to these servants will always be to make My will known to people. And whoever listens to these servants and messengers will therefore let them show him the path which leads to freedom .... For My servants will point him to Jesus Christ, Who alone can set them free from the adversary's power, Who can loosen their chains because He broke the adversary's power through His death on the cross .... He alone redeems, He alone sets them free, and it is He Who shall be proclaimed by My servants and representatives on earth. And therefore their work is also blessed, for through their service for Me they can show people the path to freedom who are therefore willing to walk it ...._>Amen

Original light from eternity .... Jesus Christ ....

My spirit has become effective in you when you enable Me to speak to you, when I convey My word to you and you hear it in your heart as My direct address. And this word shall convey the truth to you which you need in order to become blissfully happy. Everything you need to know will be announced to you through the voice of the spirit. For as long as I cannot teach you Myself you are blind in spirit, that is, you are without all knowledge, you are without inner light. But I am the original light from eternity, and all beingness which has emerged from Me shall move in this light, otherwise it cannot be blissful .... Thus I let My light emanate into infinity; I radiate through all beingness which does not oppose Me .... I let My light shine down to earth, I guide it to people who are lightless at the beginning of their embodiment .... I guide them into truth, into truthful knowledge which also explains their existence on earth and which provides them with information about the meaning and purpose of their life .... And this knowledge means light for them, which emanates from the eternal light and also leads back to the eternal light again. This knowledge is very extensive, for it encompasses My entire plan of salvation, it encompasses the work of My creation, the apostasy of the created and its return to Me .... It is an act of My greater than great love for you that I convey this knowledge to you, that I give you a light again, you who once rejected this light and thereby became darkened in spirit. But you shall not remain in this darkness forever, and therefore I Myself want to illuminate your earthly path on which you can return to Me again .... If you know about your past apostasy from Me, about your original sin, which was the reason why you once had to walk the earth as a human being, then all other knowledge will also become understandable to you .... And when I Myself can impart this knowledge to you through the voice of the spirit then you will have already come considerably closer to Me, then you will have already separated yourselves from the one who once dragged you down with him to the abyss .... You have then established the bond with Me, otherwise I would not be able to speak to you .... You have become free, you have escaped the adversary's power, you have consciously turned to Me, your will desires Me again, from Whom you once took your departure .... And you were able to set yourselves free because the divine redeemer Jesus Christ helped you to do so, without Whom it would never be possible for you to become free from satan's bondage. And the knowledge of the divine redeemer Jesus Christ is the strongest light which shines to you through My love, for it determines your beatitude .... You must be permeated by this light, for as long as you are without knowledge of the great act of mercy of the man Jesus you will walk along in darkened spirit and be unable to recognize another light. For in Jesus Christ I Myself, the original light from eternity, descended to earth in order to dissolve the darkness, in order to kindle a light of love in people's hearts which illuminated their path upwards. All of you humans will come to a crossroads on your earthly journey .... And then you will be pointed to Jesus Christ and you will have to take the path to Him, Who died on the cross for you humans in order to redeem the original sin of your apostasy from Me .... My greater than great love will try to provide you all with the knowledge about Him, I will also give you all a light beforehand by trying to enlighten you about Jesus and His mission .... But first this light has to find nourishment in yourselves and light up into a bright flame. You yourselves must turn to Him of your own free will .... And then your return to Me is also assured, Who Myself in Jesus accomplished the work of salvation on the cross .... In the darkness of spirit you lack all knowledge, and darkness of spirit is when My adversary tries to push you away from the light, when he prevents you from working with love, because love is the light from eternity .... And therefore I will only ever stimulate you into loving activity and do so through the voice of conscience as long as I cannot address you directly.... But My spiritual spark in you expresses itself very quietly for the time being, so that only a small help is given to you .... And your will will then decide. And when it has decided in favour of Me then My light will shine ever brighter in it; it will recognize Jesus Christ, it will recognize Me in Him and never ever will it fall back into darkness, for My light will draw it upwards, in the light it will recognize the path and reach its aim .... he unites with Me forever ...._>Amen

Redemption of guilt through death on the cross ....

B.D. 7864 from April 3rd 1961, taken from Book No. 82

From the night of death you came to life through My death on the cross. Darkness was your fate and would have remained so if I had not taken pity on you and opened the gate into the kingdom of light for you again by redeeming your guilt of sin Myself, by shedding My blood for you, by paying the purchase price for your souls to the adversary who had held you captive for eternities until I Myself redeemed your guilt on the cross. Now he had to release you, he could no longer keep you in bondage if you are willing to release yourselves from him, if you take refuge in Me, Who accomplished the act of salvation for you .... Your guilt of sin of the past apostasy from Me was immeasurably great, and thus the work of atonement also had to be unusual .... And a soul of light, an original spirit that came forth from Me, offered itself for you .... His fallen brothers .... to make atonement for you in order to lead you back to Me Myself again, in order to clear the path into the kingdom of light for you again, which otherwise would have remained eternally blocked for you. This soul of light descended to earth, it took on a human shell, it lived a life of love as a human being and thereby prepared itself to become a vessel in which I Myself could now take shelter .... And I took abode in this human being Jesus and accomplished the work of salvation in Him .... The man Jesus took immense suffering upon Himself, for He wanted to atone for all of humanity's guilt of sin through His path of suffering, which ended with the most bitter death on the cross .... He wanted to make satisfaction for My righteousness because He knew that no being could stay close to Me which was still burdened by sin. And I accepted His sacrifice because love brought it .... For love was in Him, and love was I Myself .... This act of becoming human in Jesus will always remain a mystery for you humans, for only when you have fathomed the 'essence of love' will you also be able to understand this act of love of My becoming human .... For I Myself, as 'God', could not suffer, the atonement had to be made by a 'human being' who was capable of suffering and also willing to suffer, for I could not determine a human being to make such a sacrifice for his fellow human beings .... But Jesus, the human being, was full of love, and this love determined Him to freely offer Himself as a sacrifice of atonement to the father, Whom He loved with all the ardour of His soul. Thus He accepted Me completely into His heart, for every thought, every breath, was meant for Me, from Whom He had come forth .... But he who abides in love abides in Me and I in him .... thus it was I Who completely filled the man Jesus and Who therefore also offered the sacrifice, Who accomplished the act of salvation for all people of the present, the past and the future. The man Jesus took immense suffering upon Himself in order to atone for the great guilt, and I was satisfied with this act of love and redeemed the great guilt, and the path to the kingdom of light was cleared, the bridge from the kingdom of darkness to the height was built, which can now be entered by every person who wants to ascend from the abyss .... And I conquered death, which he had brought into the world who first apostatized from Me .... I have risen from the dead, I have conquered death and acquired life for every human being who only acknowledges Me as redeemer of the world, who consciously avails himself of the graces of the work of salvation, who bears his sins under the cross and asks for forgiveness of his guilt .... I have risen from the dead to give you humans the evidence that you, too, will rise to eternal life if only you believe in Me, if only you let yourselves be redeemed by Me. Then there will be no more death for you, then you will be free from all guilt because I Myself have redeemed it as the man Jesus ...., then the kingdom of light with all its glory will be open to you ...., then you will truly have emerged from the night of death into the light of life, and then you will also never lose this life again, for you have now received it from My hand, Who has loved you from the beginning and will love you for all eternity ...._>Amen

A renewal of earth must come ....

B.D. 7865 from April 5th 1961, taken from Book No. 82

Earth will have to be renewed if the higher development of the spiritual beings is to progress; all works of creation will have to release the spirits so that they can continue their development within new forms, as this is the purpose of the work of creation called 'earth' .... For it does not just concern you humans who voluntarily ought to reach your final goal on earth but fail to do so .... it also concerns the spiritual substance bound within the form which has not yet been able to arrive at the possibility of being of service and to which the path of service shall be opened. As long as you humans do not know the meaning and purpose of creation, you will not consider the possibility of an impending transformation of the earth's surface either. And yet it is about to happen and may only be experienced by people who have fulfilled the purpose of their earthly life, who have matured fully and therefore will populate the new earth .... Hence they also know God's plan of Salvation, they believe that they live in the last days and expect the end and with it the coming of the Lord, as it is proclaimed in Word and Scripture. But there are only few of them ....

People's low spiritual level is so obvious that the time has come when a change must happen again .... when all spirits have to be placed into forms which correspond to their state of maturity .... And thus the human being, having completely failed, will also have to be banished into hard matter again and start a new process of development; whereas the spiritual being bound within matter may occupy increasingly softer forms until it reaches the stage one day when it can take the path across earth as a human being for his last decision of will. The fact that people will experience this harsh fate of a new banishment is the result of their free will, for they no longer have any spiritual aspirations on earth, they are totally attached to matter and will therefore become what they aspired to in this earthly life. Nevertheless, they have been sufficiently admonished and warned, during their earthly life they have been informed of the purpose of earthly life, and no person will be able to say that he had absolutely no knowledge of it. The fact that he, of his own free will, had rejected everything that could have increased his maturity is his own fault which he consequently will also have to pay for. A continuation of the old earth, however, would never ensure that these people would change; they would only ever descend further and also prevent the spirits within the form from progressing further. But who will believe this if he is informed of it?

As soon as people no longer believe in God, in a continuation of life after death, in a responsibility on their part, the said low spiritual level will have been reached which necessitates the end, the dissolution of earthly creations. For in that case people's existence on earth would be pointless, the blessing of an embodiment as a human being would no longer be made use of, the earth will have ceased to be a place of education for the spiritual beings and a total transformation will have to happen to put an end to this unspiritual state of affairs. And you humans will shortly face this transformation, you will shortly face a spiritual and earthly turning point, for the time which was granted to you for the maturing of your souls has come to an end. Until the end you will be warned and admonished, until the end you will be instructed about the purpose of your existence, you will receive the knowledge of God's plan of Salvation, of His infinite love for all His living creations and of the possibility and help on His part to become blessed before the end arrives .... However, you have to accept all this of your own free will, you have to seriously want to fulfil the purpose of your human existence .... you have to acknowledge a God above yourselves and appeal to Him for mercy .... And truly, you will still be saved in the last hour, otherwise the Judgment will take effect on you, otherwise you will get what you are striving for .... you will turn into matter again which had kept you tied to the earth so that you didn't take the path of ascent and therefore will end up in the abyss again ....

Amen

People need the truth ....

B.D. 7866 from April 8th 1961, taken from Book No. 82

The transmission of the pure gospel to earth has become urgently necessary, and therefore I chose an instrument for Myself which is active in My will, because it completely subordinates its will to Mine and serves Me as a suitable vessel into which I can let My flow of love flow .... For My flow of love is 'My word' .... It is My gospel which I proclaim again in all purity as I did on earth .... but which has not been preserved so purely and therefore always needs correction from My side if you humans want to speak of 'My word' .... You church Christians do not want to believe that the pure word of God is no longer offered to you. You undoubtedly accept everything as 'My word' but serious reflection would reveal many contradictions, you would certainly not recognize Me Myself in this word which has been distorted by people, so that you have long since ceased to live in truth and are therefore also in danger of not reaching the aim which has been set for you in earthly life, because only truth guarantees you this aim. But again and again I therefore want to convey the pure truth to you, and you need only accept it in order to safely take the path of ascent, the aim of which is Me Myself, with Whom you should unite .... And thus I offer you the truth Myself which will enable you to attain beatitude. And you humans should listen to what is conveyed to you through an instrument chosen by Me Myself, what is brought to you as My true gospel, so that you will walk the path of truth. If I call upon you to do so, I nevertheless want you to examine everything, that you don't accept anything thoughtlessly, for it shall become your own spiritual knowledge, and this requires a serious opinion, an examination in the will to only accept the right spiritual knowledge which corresponds to the truth. And then your thinking will truly also be enlightened, you will feel what you are allowed to accept, for the truth will beneficially touch your soul, whereas every error leaves the soul unimpressed, i.e., it will not result in spiritual progress for you. For you can truly believe that I want to convey the truth to you and that this is also possible if I find a heart which is willing to serve, which completely submits to Me and My will, which desires the truth itself and allows My spirit to work within itself. For it is the end time and it has become urgently necessary that the pure truth is presented to people .... It has become urgently necessary that I Myself take care of those who desire the truth, it has become urgently necessary that the many errors are denounced which are also spread where people believe they are 'serving Me' .... Although every person could recognize for himself the errors which have crept in where truth is allegedly proclaimed .... For as soon as people lived in accordance with My divine commandment of love they would also be of enlightened spirit, i.e. their thinking would be correctly directed and they would reject all misguided teachings; yet they pay too little attention to My commandments of love and therefore do not realize that they are being wrongly guided. And therefore they have to hear My divine teaching of love anew, they have to be given the gospel anew which only ever contains this teaching of love, because love is everything .... because without love the human being cannot live in truth and because without love he can never reach his final aim: the union with Me, Who am eternal love Itself .... And thus don't be surprised when I address you humans and send you My disciples again .... don't be surprised when I convey 'My word' to you in all purity, for this word is necessary if it is to become light in you, because only truth is light which originates from Me and leads back to Me again .... because only truth shows you the right path which leads to light and beatitude ...._>Amen

God's infinite love wants to give itself away ....

B.D. 7867 from April 9th 1961, taken from Book No. 82

You will enter the spheres of heavenly bliss if you have lived your earthly life in accordance with My will .... Yet it is not this promise that should persuade you to live your life correctly but your love for Me, Who wants to give you these beatitudes because I love you beyond measure but I also want to possess your love .... I created you out of My love, and this love will never end. And one day, when you have become enlightened, the concept of love, which you cannot grasp as a human being as long as you still lack love, will also have become comprehensible for you .... But to be without love is a state of unhappiness for every living creation that came forth from Me, because it is also a state of weakness and darkness in which happiness is unthinkable. A life in accordance with My will is, however, a life of love and this will also lead you back into a state of blissfulness ....

After the death of your body you will enter My kingdom which will provide you with unimaginable splendours that My love has prepared for all My beings which will join Me again in love. Love cannot do anything other than give joy and seek unification, for love wants to give itself away, it wants to please because this is the nature of love .... And since My love was overwhelming and wanted to give itself away I created beings for Myself to which I could give Myself .... I created vessels for Myself which accepted the flow of My love and I united Myself with these beings and continuously let My ray of love flow into them .... And thus I made them abundantly happy .... The fact that they eventually resisted My illumination of love was due to a special reason but it did not prevent Me from pursuing these beings with My love, it just didn't make them happy anymore because they resisted it, because they had detached themselves from Me.

Nevertheless, since love is never-ending it will also never remain inactive but try to regain what had fallen away from it .... My love has never stopped to entice back to Me that which had fallen away and will continue to do so until it has returned to Me of its own free will. For no being can remain closed to My illumination of love forever, because love is a power which does not stay ineffective, and because the beings' resistance will diminish sooner or later, becoming constantly less until they finally open themselves again in order to be made blissfully happy by My love for all eternity. And that which has found its way back to Me will never leave Me again .... It will not be able to descend into the abyss anymore, for once it has travelled the path through the lowest points with the ultimate accomplishment of having attained the pinnacle again it will also be inseparably united with Me, for it will have reached perfection which I was unable to give to the being Myself, since it required free will to remain in perfection, and this free will has been proven .... otherwise I could also forcibly obtain their love, but then one could never speak of unrestricted happiness, for love does not tolerate compulsion, it has to turn to Me voluntarily, which is proven by the human being when he lives on earth according to My will, when he shapes himself into love, which is his fundamental nature ....

In My kingdom, however, everything is love .... and you all shall enter this kingdom of love, you all shall be immeasurably happy one day when you unite yourselves with Me, your Father of eternity, Whose love created you and Whose love will also pursue you if you keep yourselves distant from Me .... Yet you will not remain distant from Me forever, because My love is stronger than your will of resistance, because one day you will submit yourselves to My love again, because it will also ignite itself in you and grow into a bright blaze, because I will then be and remain the goal and the object of your love for all eternity ....

Amen

Address of God to the disciples of the last days ....

B.D. 7868 from April 10th 1961, taken from Book No. 82

Nothing shall hold you back from standing up for Me and My word; you should always be ready to testify of Me if you want to be true servants to Me who proclaim My gospel to people .... You should mention My gifts of grace, My working in you, which you can prove through the abundance of spiritual knowledge, for you will not need to fear any objection which you cannot refute, because then you speak on My behalf and your spirit is guided by Me. Great spiritual knowledge has been conveyed to you through the working of My spirit within you, and if possible you should also convey this knowledge to your fellow human beings, and especially to those who do not oppose you, who willingly listen to you, for it is then up to their will how they utilize this knowledge. You should pass on this knowledge wherever possible, for what has been given to you by Me truly has its strength within itself and must also have a beneficial effect unless My gift of grace is opposed by a defence which renders its strength ineffective. And you should not tire of working for Me and My kingdom, for this work alone will result in everlasting possessions because it is done for people's souls. And you should always emphasize Jesus Christ's act of salvation and stress that it is repeatedly mentioned by Me, that the redemption through Jesus Christ is the main content of the spiritual knowledge I impart to you .... You should emphasize how important the problem of redemption and becoming human is and that no person can become blessed who lives without Jesus Christ and departs from earth without Him. But you should also explain to your fellow human beings why Jesus came to earth and what His actual mission was .... You should constantly be active for Me and My kingdom, for this alone is necessary that people seek contact with Me, that they direct their thoughts into the kingdom which is not of this world .... that they don't just remain attached to the world but that people remember their actual purpose of earthly life .... You, My servants, have been informed of everything, and you are constantly instructed so that you, too, can teach according to the truth, so that you can pass on the spiritual knowledge which is intended to be a blessing for you humans .... For I alone know why I convey this gift of grace to you, I alone know what you need, what you must know in order to attune yourselves correctly to Me, in order to successfully travel the earthly path for your soul's maturity .... I was able to reveal Myself to you, My servants, because your will allowed it. Yet not all people can receive these revelations directly, and you should be mediators for them so that they, too, can partake of the blessings if they are willing to listen to you, if they don't completely unbelievingly reject everything that is offered to them. Humanity is in great spiritual hardship because it lives in complete ignorance or has been instructed in wrong knowledge and lacks the truth .... therefore I want to bring them the truth so that they can believe with conviction .... for only the truth can trigger this conviction in them. You are in possession of truth and you shall carry it on .... And anyone of good will will also recognize the value of what you bring to them, for My word speaks for itself, My word has strength and is able to touch people's hearts so that they strike Me, so that they feel My flow of grace beneficially and turn towards Me and I Myself can then take hold of them in order to never let them go again forever .... I send you, My disciples of the last days, out into the world again .... i.e., I give you the task to spread My gospel again, which you receive from Me yourselves, and I will always bless your work, you will be able to carry it out for Me because I also supply you with the strength to be able to work for Me. For you are My mediators, you are My servants in My vineyard, and truly, your father of the house will always assign you the work so that you will be able to do it .... I will take care of you spiritually and bodily, and you need only earnestly want and your work will be successful .... You will find open hearts, you will not knock at the doors in vain, for you will walk the paths where I guide you, because I know who opens himself to My address, who desires My word and whose souls can be nourished because they are of good will ...._>Amen

Final aim of the act of creation: childhood of God ....

B.D. 7869 from April 11th 1961, taken from Book No. 82

The fact that you are My share will also have to be experienced by My adversary one day, for he will not be able to keep you for himself forever, because what originated from Me must irrevocably return to Me according to the law of eternity. And he himself will also take the path to Me when he is deprived of all his strength, which he sees in his now following .... Nevertheless, it has been granted to him to also wrestle for your possessions because you once followed him voluntarily. And it will be proven which power is stronger .... My love, which applies to you, My living creations, for all eternity, or his hatred, which keeps you bound but from which you yourselves can escape as soon as this is only your will, because then you will strive back to Me again and then also experience My support in abundance .... And therefore My endeavour, as well as His, is only ever to win your will, and as this decides, so also is the 'lord' determined, whom you call yourselves .... And even though you still turn this will towards him for a long time, even though you still remain with him in free will for eternities, your resistance will nevertheless one day be broken and you will surrender to My love, for love is strength which achieves everything and to which you will one day surrender. And thus his strength will also diminish more and more until he himself lies powerless on the ground and will appeal to Me for an influx of strength. But eternities will still pass until then, and until then we will both wrestle for souls, for I will not give up anything which has emerged from My love .... just as he no longer wants to lose what he believes to possess eternally. But the time of distance from Me is a process of development for you towards the highest perfection, a process towards the attainment of childship to God .... You do not yet understand what this means, for you were indeed created by Me as supremely perfect beings but you were only 'creatures' which could not be other than as they were created .... I had created you and thus you were 'works', coming forth from My hand .... But I wanted to have something beside Me which had shaped itself in free will in such a way that it was supremely perfect .... I wanted to have beings next to Me which I could call 'children', which therefore were not so formed as a result of My will but whose own free will had striven for and attained perfection .... and who then were also in truth My 'children' .... But this decision had to be made by them themselves, they had to have taken the path of development of their own accord, and therefore it was left up to the created beings to remain in their state of perfection given to them by Me or to strive away from Me .... and the latter meant that they surrendered the light and freedom they possessed .... it meant that they themselves resisted My love which wanted to illuminate them and they became imperfect because they separated from Me of their own will. And I allowed this to happen for the sake of the lofty aim that they returned to Me again as 'children', although they would never have had to do without My illumination of love if this had been their free will .... For My angelic spirit, which was the first to emerge, was also the first to detach itself from Me, and since it was visible to the beings in radiant abundance of light, countless beings followed it .... Thus they likewise separated from Me of their own free will, they relinquished their perfection in order to regain it again by an infinitely long path .... in order to go through the process of attaining childship to God and to approach supreme bliss .... Since this was and is the final aim of My act of creation, everything that once fell away from Me also returns to Me again. But the process of development can take eternities, depending on the spirit being's will, if it walks across earth as a human being and is to prove its now free will .... And whether it fails and fails again and again .... one day it will return to Me, and then its bliss will find no end .... for then I will have achieved what I wanted but could not create for Myself: supremely perfect children who do not have to work according to My will but create and work in free will, as it is also My will, and therefore they are immeasurably blissfully happy ...._>Amen

Devotion to God .... knowing Jesus Christ ....

B.D. 7870 from April 12th 1961, taken from Book No. 82

How easy and carefree is your path through life if you take it by My hand, if you walk it in constant company of Me, if you only ever entrust yourselves to Me and let Me take care of you. Then you will also surely reach your aim, for you will truly not take the wrong path by My hand .... Heartfelt devotion to Me also guarantees that I will be your constant guide and companion, for where a heart of love beats towards Me I will no longer give way, for there My adversary has lost his right .... even though he will again and again try to present the world's charms to you in order to turn you away from Me again. Yet anyone who is seized by My love, who makes it possible for My love to shine upon him, no longer desires the world and its pleasures .... He has found other goods which are worth striving for, and he no longer turns his gaze back but steadfastly upwards where he sees Me and now strives towards Me with all his senses .... The devotion to Me must have taken place, then the human being has also passed his test of will, then his will has confessed Me, then the path of return has finally been taken, which is guaranteed to end with Me .... And therefore I will promise you My constant presence if only you are willing to possess it, for then you will give Me your will and I will now never leave you again. Thus it need not mean an act of violence to acquire Me and My kingdom if only you give yourselves to Me in love .... But he will have to use force who still lacks love for Me, who still belongs to the world and therefore has to fight against the desire for the world .... A long time can pass until he has established the intimate bond with Me, although I also pursue him with My love and again and again try to capture him .... But I do not force his will, and he often still takes the path of worldly pleasures and joys which leads downwards and is repeatedly presented to the human being by My adversary as appealing until he frees himself from his desires of his own accord, until he turns his eyes towards Me and demands that I take him by the hand and guide him upwards .... It is always only a matter of your serious will, which must arise in the heart and cannot be replaced by mere words .... It is about the human being changing, that his nature, which until now was determined by My adversary, now allows itself to be determined by Me, that the human being enters into My will, that he fulfils the fundamental law of love, that he inserts himself into the eternal order again and thus takes on his original nature .... It is a matter of him no longer offering resistance when My love beams at him, i.e. that he consciously opens himself, that he desires to enter into contact with Me again and to possess My love which he had once rejected. Then he consciously acknowledges Me, and he also recognizes the former sin of apostasy .... But all this is not possible if he has not found the divine redeemer Jesus Christ .... For He alone gives him the strength to turn away from My adversary and towards Me .... It is He alone Who will then lead you by the hand, for He and I are one .... And the turning towards Me must therefore take place in Him, because otherwise you would never have the strength to separate yourselves willfully from the adversary .... For this lack of strength was the consequence of the great sin of turning away from Me, which has now only been atoned for through Jesus .... thus your weakness of will could only be strengthened by Him to turn away from My adversary and towards Me again, Who will now take you by the hand and truly lead you to the right aim. And if your will has decided in favour of Me, then you also belong to those redeemed through Jesus' blood, you have found Him and recognized Me Myself in Him .... The heartfelt devotion to Me is also connected with the living faith in Jesus Christ, because you now brightly and clearly recognize His mission and are no longer able to separate Me from Him .... For devotion to Me takes place in love, and love is the light which now shines through you again, as it once did .... Without love you will not find the path to Me, without love you will not seek union with Me .... But love binds us together again eternally, love recognizes that you must join Me if you want to be eternally happy .... and love urges you towards Me, Who will now never ever let you go ...._>Amen

Purpose of earthly existence ....

B.D. 7871 from April 13th 1961, taken from Book No. 82

You yourselves gave rise to your existence on earth when you refused to remain in the circuit of My flow of love. You had been independent beings which I externalised out of My love but which had always been in most heartfelt contact with Me and were therefore always permeated by My strength of love. As long as you accepted this emanation of love you were blissfully happy. But when you voluntarily left the circuit of My love, My strength of love became ineffective, which meant that you became incapable of being active since it has always necessitated My strength of love. Inactivity is solidification, inactivity is immobility .... it is a state of death, of complete lifelessness .... You voluntarily entered this state through you past rebellion against Me and you will remain in this state until you voluntarily enter the circuit of My love again. All beings which had once fallen away from Me must go through this process: of arising from death to life. Thus, the fallen spirits, having hardened as a result of rejecting My strength of love, had become incapable of all activity and were dissolved by My will into countless minute particles, which were encapsulated by My strength of love and shaped into creations of the most varied kinds .... These, in turn, helped the spiritual substances to become active again, albeit quite minimally, according to My will .... Activity is life .... The dead substance gradually awakened to life and the degree of activity constantly increased through new formations of the bound spirits within these works of creation .... You humans are now occupying the final form in which the once fallen being shall attain the highest degree of activity and is able to do so if it uses its restored free will in the right way .... Your external form is also a work of creation by My love which is to bring the process to conclusion: to result in eternal life for you which you cannot lose anymore when you have accomplished your return to Me.

However, your life as a human being also includes the great danger that you will misuse your free will for a second time and thereby render the whole previous process of development completely worthless .... that you will descend into the abyss again, that you will reject My love once more and harden in your spiritual substance .... that you will fall prey to death again .... Your existence as a human being is an inconceivable grace, for everything that can lead you to final perfection is offered to you .... However, how you use this grace is determined by your free will, and this can only ever be stimulated or influenced but never be forced to aim into the right direction. Nevertheless, you humans should know how extraordinarily significant your life on earth is: consequently, the correlations will be explained to you time and again, the knowledge is conveyed to you either directly or through My messengers which intends to awaken your sense of responsibility. Time and again you are instructed through My Word, and you also hear the voice of conscience within yourselves. Even so, it is up to you as to what you make of this knowledge .... it is up to you as to whether you want to accept My direct revelations. Yet even My greater than great love cannot do anything more but to convey such revelations to you which inform you of the consequences of a correct way of life, of the reason and purpose of your life on earth and of My will, the fulfilment of which will truly guarantee you a life of blissful happiness .... But I cannot make you believe My revelations, for just as you once left Me voluntarily, just as you once voluntarily rejected My love, you must also return to Me voluntarily, you must voluntarily enter the circuit of My flow of love again .... you must want to be closely united with Me again and you will truly enter into eternal life, you will return to your Father again and be eternally happy ....

Amen

Jesus' battle as a 'human being' ....

B.D. 7872 from April 14th 1961, taken from Book No. 82

When I came into the world as a human being, the Deity in Me was tremendously active for I brought love with Me to earth, which permeated Me from the start and only applied to My eternal Father .... And thus extraordinary things happened at My birth which you present-day humans no longer want to believe but which provided the people around Me with the evidence that I was the announced Messiah. Thus I brought love along to Earth .... but I had to forfeit the light, for people would have been unable to endure its brilliance .... And so I had to start waging the battle with all immature spiritual substances which, by way of My body, harassed the soul, for I had to mature as a 'human being', since I wanted to show people the path towards spiritualisation, which can only be achieved by love. Consequently, I had to try to pacify everything of an immature nature pestering Me, through the love inherent in Me I had to try to influence it such that it would abandon its desire, that it would subordinate itself to the soul's desire and thus spiritualise and unite itself with the soul while I was still living on earth. This battle was truly not an easy one, for the human nature within Me had the same craving, the same longing for fulfilment as is the case with all people and despite My origin from above My nature was no different than that of you humans .... The world and its enticements attracted Me just as much as you, only My soul distanced itself from it because, due to its indwelling love, it recognised the dangers these worldly enticements offered and because I knew what mission I had to fulfil as 'Jesus, the human being'. Nevertheless, the body demanded its own and thus it was often an extremely difficult battle to comply with the soul's desire and to firmly resist all temptations. Yet the 'love' in Me gave Me strength, love drew Me irresistibly to the Father and the Father did not deny Himself to Me, He permeated Me progressively more and became active in Me, the 'human being Jesus' .... I realised the extent of adversity suffered by the human race which lacked love and therefore lacked the strength to resist the same temptations .... I knew why people were lacking love and that they were ruled by the one who is entirely devoid of love .... Hence I tried to motivate people into living in love .... I exemplified to them a life of love and constantly instructed them .... I gave them the commandments of love for God and one's neighbour .... I attempted to make them understand the consequences of a life of love and proved it to them on Myself .... I healed the sick and performed miracles, and I was able to do so because I allowed the strength of love to become active, for love is God, and thus God Himself worked through Me because He dwelled in Me as the 'Eternal Love' .... People lacked love when I descended to earth but I was permeated by it for I was faithfully and with love devoted to the Father, I had remained with Him when the host of originally created spirits deserted Him .... My love for Him was greater than great and I did not deprive Myself of it when I came down to earth ....

My whole way of life was a continuous activity of love .... so that the body soon subordinated itself to this love, that the soul embraced it and together with the body united itself with the Eternal Love in Me .... But it would be wrong to say that My earthly path had been less difficult as a result of My extraordinary abundance of love, because I was extremely strongly influenced by demons besieging Me, which clung to Me and tried to pull Me down .... and which I could not shake off because My 'love' in Me did not allow for it; instead, I had to pacify them and lovingly try to persuade them to let go of Me and also promised them My help to ascend from the abyss to higher spheres again. I did not want to chase these demons away by virtue of My inherent great power, consequently I suffered far more than you humans can understand, and only the immense strength of love enabled the accomplishment of My act of Salvation, otherwise I would have fallen prey to the demons Myself which, however, would never have been possible because love, the Father Himself, dwelled within Me .... You humans are supposed to follow Me, you should likewise start waging the battle against all unspiritual things in and around you .... However, you would be incapable of doing so of your own strength because you still lack love which increases your strength .... But now you can turn to Me with an appeal for an influx of strength and it will truly be given to you by grace of the act of Salvation which I acquired on your behalf through My death on the cross. Yet without Me you will not release yourselves from the opposing power, without Me your resolve is too weak and you lack strength .... I Myself waged a very hard battle against My adversary who wanted to prevent Me from accomplishing the act of Salvation but I won the battle though love and want to help you because you are too weak. For you live in an entirely unspiritual world, you live in the world of the fallen spirit and are held captive by its prince. But I have redeemed you from his power and thus you can achieve the same as I .... so that you will emerge victoriously from the battle against all worldly cravings, so that your body will spiritualise itself at the same time as the soul, so that they will unite themselves with the Father of eternity, because you no longer need to accomplish this act by yourselves, you need only come to Me in order to receive the strength to be able to take the path of return to the Father from Whom you once originated. And this influx of strength signifies that love will ignite in you and flare up into brightest radiance, that you bring everything of an unspiritual nature in you into order through love, that you can resist every temptation and that you thereby release yourselves from your opponent .... for then you will be on My side and I will truly liberate you from him ....

Amen

"Divine revelations" radiate light ....

B.D. 7873 from April 15th 1961, taken from Book No. 82

The gift of grace of being addressed by Me obliges the passing on of My word, for it is always given to all people who are willing to accept a gift from Me. Yet the person who receives My word must also be aware of the fact that it is up to him that he receives purest spiritual knowledge, for this requires the profound desire to only want to pass on 'truth'. And again he has to ask himself whether he makes himself available to Me so that I Myself can speak through him, because it is necessary that people hear Me Myself if they are to be impressed and change their way of life .... Hence he only has to feel like My mouthpiece, he must not let his own thoughts arise, he only has to be an instrument for Me which enables Me to speak Myself to people who want to listen to Me. Then My word can flow into the vessel in all purity, and now fellow human beings can draw and drink from the vessel and they will receive delicious spiritual knowledge, knowledge will be conveyed to them through the tool which can only be imparted to them by My spirit .... For what I give is delicious gift and therefore also to be recognized as emanation of Myself, because it gives you light and strength .... bright knowledge and a strong will to ascend and to reach your aim on earth which is set for you. And you humans will certainly also recognize My word as originating from Me if you seriously scrutinize it with the good will to stand in truth .... for My word contains wisdom within itself .... For light is wisdom .... Therefore, if I speak to you and want to give you light, then I must convey knowledge to you which reveals My wisdom .... I will certainly speak to you humans in an understandable way but nevertheless open up to you a deeper knowledge which you did not possess before .... For the spiritual knowledge I impart to you will always speak for itself, it will reflect My nature, it will radiate love, wisdom and power, you will receive information about My nature through My divine gift of grace .... Thus you yourselves will increase in knowledge, in light, in realization .... It will become light in you where before there was darkness .... in truth a light will be kindled within you. When the word Itself descends to earth .... i.e., when I Myself approach you and address you, then you can be assured that you will receive something delicious, that spiritual knowledge will be conveyed to you which cannot be brought to you from the human side .... which thus allows an insight into My kingdom, into My rule and activity and into My relationship with you .... In truth, a 'knowledge' is made accessible to you when you receive My direct revelations, and to pass this 'knowledge' on is your task which is connected with the reception. These revelations differ from speeches which can be experienced by every person who intimately unites with Me and desires to hear words of comfort and love from Me, whom I now also consider in the form of warnings and admonitions according to his nature and whom I also address through the heart .... But his task is different from the proclamation of My gospel, the passing on of the pure truth, the carrying of light into the darkness .... a mission which requires direct instruction and introduction into the truth from My side .... Every person has the duty to live a life of love and also to point out to his fellow human being that he can only become blissfully happy through love for Me and his neighbour. And I can also particularly encourage him to do so by only ever imparting words of love to him which he himself hears in his heart and also passes on to his fellow human beings. For only love results in spiritual progress, and love cannot be preached enough in the world .... And anyone who does such for Me, who encourages his fellow human beings to work with love, will truly be blessed by Me, he will be active on My behalf and also kindle a light where it is still dark .... Yet divine 'revelations' should not be devalued by also referring to human words as such, which are not to be addressed as 'revelations on My part' .... And you humans are easily inclined to value personal speeches as 'My word' and then allow yourselves to be impressed by those speeches. And then you can easily run the risk of no longer being able to distinguish whose spiritual knowledge you accept. And darkness can gather around you instead of becoming light in you. Believe that I reveal Myself to you in order to introduce you to the truth, in order to kindle the light of knowledge in you .... But seriously examine whether you can indeed discover the glow of a light or whether you are only illuminated by blinding lights which do not radiate any glow, which only feign a light for you .... But you humans need only desire 'light from Me' and then it will also shine in you .... you will increase in knowledge, the truth will be offered to you about things which cannot be fathomed by you in any other way than through the working of My spirit in the human being .... which increase your inner light and which therefore can only reach you as (through?) divine revelations through people into whom I can let My spirit flow so that they testify of Me ...._>Amen

How to follow Jesus ....

B.D. 7874 from April 16th 1961, taken from Book No. 82

He is My true follower who makes an effort to live on earth as I did, who stands firm in suffering, bears it with patience and perfects himself in love, for he will mature in his soul. I can only ever advise you to 'follow Jesus', for the man Jesus has taken this path on earth .... His life had truly been hard, yet He bore it humbly, He took up the battle against darkness, i.e., He tried to re-establish order and to enlighten people as to why they lived in spiritual darkness and what they should do to escape this darkness. He consciously walked the path of suffering and love .... And He shaped Himself such that I was able to take abode in Him .... And you should all walk this path and through love and sorrow try to shape yourselves such that I Myself, Who is the Eternal Love, can be present to you. You must follow Me, you must try to imitate the life I lived in the human being Jesus. And this first of all requires the will to unite yourselves with Me again .... Only love can accomplish this union, and suffering purifies your soul which still harbours many immature particles. It also spiritualises the body, so that it conforms to the desires of the spirit within you, so that it matures simultaneously with the soul and the union with Me can take place. This purification must come first, and for the sake of this purification you are living on earth .... And as soon as you take Me as an example your life on earth will not be in vain, it will take you to the goal: complete spiritualisation and unification with Me ....

A human being had to become an example to you or you would always have raised the objection that you cannot follow Me because it is beyond your ability, beyond your strength .... However, the path I walked on earth as a human being Myself was so arranged that every person would be able to follow Me. Nothing impossible is demanded of you, nothing is expected of you that a sinful person cannot accomplish, for I took all your weaknesses and faults into account, I identified Myself with every person's inclination and circumstances .... for whatever they may be . . . if you live a life of love then you also gather the strength which lets you accomplish even the most difficult task .... You will grow above yourselves, for you receive the strength from Me, just as I, thanks to the love within Myself, also had the strength at My disposal which enabled Me to be victorious in the battle against darkness, in the battle against all temptations by My adversary and against all cravings of the flesh .... Love is strength, and therefore I first had to preach love and live a life of love Myself in order to set you the right example of the way of life which leads you out of the abyss towards the pinnacle, that liberates you from the adversary .... For love is the only weapon to which he succumbs. You have to follow Me if you want to become free from his control .... And neither can suffering be avoided if your soul is to become bright and clear which, in its human incarnation, is still full of impurities because it is still in the domain of the one who changed his nature to the opposite, who thus can be called 'evil' in the true sense of the word and to whose nature you conformed when you deserted Me and followed him into the abyss of your own free will ....

Admittedly, due to their process through the creations the tiny particles of soul have become much purer when they united again as the soul of a human being, but many impurities will still have to be removed, which can only ever be accomplished by love and suffering .... The forgiveness of your guilt of sin will indeed be guaranteed as soon as you acknowledge Me in Jesus Christ and appeal for forgiveness of it .... And that means that on your departure from this world you will find the gate to the kingdom of light open to you .... But the intensity of light that will then shine upon you is very different .... And you will be extremely happy if your soul can be completely permeated, if the light is not obstructed by any impurities which still have to be dissolved .... And because you can already achieve on earth that your soul will be bright and translucent at the time of its passing away from earth you shall also humbly and patiently endure all suffering on earth .... you always ought to bear in mind that it is only beneficial for the maturity of your soul, you should not try to evade all affliction and always pray 'Father, Thy will be done ....' For I know why I let you walk the path of suffering and why I spoke the Words 'Follow Me ....' If you always try to imagine that I have walked the path before you, which has been so much harder and more sorrowful than yours, then for love of Me you should accept everything I send or allow to happen to you, for that is the light cross you have to bear in your earthly life, which only ever benefits your soul ....

Amen

Renewed banishment is the reason for the unusual revelations ....

B.D. 7875 from April 19th 1961, taken from Book No. 82

I Am revealing Myself in an unusual way before the end to you humans by conveying knowledge to you from which you should draw the consequences .... knowledge which so far had been withheld from you because it was of no significance for your salvation of soul, because you still had time to change your character and were also still able to achieve this in the beyond although under far more difficult conditions .... But it was still possible for you to be redeemed for as long the time you were granted for releasing yourselves from the form had not yet run out .... This time, however, is drawing to an end and that means either your return to Me or the renewed path through the creations of earth. But the knowledge about the latter has been withheld from you until now, for it would only have induced you to spend your earthly life under a certain amount of duress, which I, however, will not use for the sake of your perfection .... But now it concerns the human being's last free decision, it concerns the soul's salvation or its renewed banishment, because after the end of this earth higher development in the spiritual kingdom will become impossible for a long time to come, since the gates of this kingdom will remain closed until the new earth has again entered the state in which immature people will depart once more from this earth, in which case My merciful love will also want to help them attain maturity in the beyond again. Yet before this period of Salvation comes to an end I will still make use of all means in order to save you from the awful fate of a renewed banishment .... And therefore I inform you humans of the path you have already travelled before you reached your embodiment as a human being on earth. And My revelations are so unusual because most people are lacking this knowledge. But since the fate of a renewed banishment is only now becoming the imminent disaster .... since until now the opportunity still existed to mature in the kingdom of the beyond if it was neglected on earth, it was not necessary for people to know about the prior long process of development before .... although occasionally I was able to address people directly and so introduced them to this knowledge ....

However, now the time has come when people are in utmost danger but when it is still possible for them to avoid this danger if they have the serious will to endeavour towards a change .... And the knowledge about the process of development, of a repeated banishment in matter is intended to motivate them into this change of will .... This is why I reveal Myself in an unusual way, this is why I convey a knowledge to earth which can have tremendously beneficial results for people by just paying attention to it, by allowing My Words to take effect on them, think about them and then also live their life accordingly. But there are only a few who believe what is conveyed to them by extraordinary means .... And I cannot compel faith .... Therefore I cannot reveal Myself by any other means but through a human mouth either, for an enforced faith is worthless and will not result in the soul's progress. But the fact that I Myself reveal My plan of Salvation to you is a significant light which you humans are still being granted .... If you want to live in this light you will definitely take the right path .... For although I speak through a human mouth it is nevertheless the evidence of My love .... if I send My Word directly to earth, it is the evidence of My presence, in other words: you can call it an extraordinary gift of grace if you are taught about things which are inaccessible to a person's intellectual knowledge .... which therefore cannot be explained to you by other people if I Myself do not work extraordinarily in this person too .... Therefore pay attention to My unusual revelations, don't discard them as human work but believe that it is only My love which wants to reveal Itself to you because I would like to save you before the end, because I want to spare you the fate of a renewed banishment which, however, is inevitable, if you do not believe ....

Amen

God's revelations give light ....

B.D. 7876 from April 21st 1961, taken from Book No. 82

Again and again I emphasize that My spirit works in every person who fulfils the conditions I have attached to such activity. For I Myself have promised you My spirit that it will remain with you until the end of the world, for although I no longer physically lived amongst people I was nevertheless with My disciples in spirit and filled them with light and strength so that they could testify of Me according to My will. And thus I also repeatedly choose disciples for Myself upon whom I can pour out My spirit so that they, too, will repeatedly proclaim about Me .... Yet many are called but only a few are chosen. It is possible for you humans to awaken the spirit in you to life, so that I Myself can now thus express Myself through the spirit .... Yet only a few prepare themselves to serve as a vessel for My flow of spirit, to make themselves suitable as an instrument through which I can now express Myself, as I have promised. And therefore only a few are chosen to enter My service as proclaimers of the message of salvation, to teach fellow human beings truthfully and thus to preach the gospel of love to them again, to convey 'My word' to them, which I now convey to earth as the 'working of My spirit'. Only a few are enabled to receive My word in all purity and to spread it in the same way .... Yet these few now also receive an unusual amount of knowledge which also makes their mission recognizable .... knowledge which also reveals its origin, knowledge which only I Myself can impart to people because it testifies to Me Myself, to My nature, My working and My wisdom .... This knowledge therefore proves Me Myself as the originator, and it can also never be refuted by people .... unless they are still in open opposition to Me, that they are completely incapable of passing judgment because they are still being worked on by My adversary who will always fight against the pure truth .... Hence, if I can convey such unusual knowledge to a person then it is also possible to speak of an obvious 'working of My spirit', and people can unhesitatingly believe if this knowledge is conveyed to them through My messengers. For they only ever need to apply the standard as to whether the knowledge provides information about My nature, which is love, wisdom and power.... for My revelations only ever intend that you humans gain a correct image of your God and creator, of your father of eternity, because I am courting your love, which you will only give to Me if you truly know Me and My nature, if you don't form a distorted image of Me, but which arises and has arisen through error of every kind .... You shall experience the pure truth, and therefore I address you .... And I, in turn, can only address you through the spirit .... And this process requires the fulfilment of conditions: preconditions must be in place which establish a close bond from the spiritual spark in the human being with the father-spirit of eternity and thus also guarantee a direct supply of My word, which contains supreme wisdom within itself and can therefore be recognized as being of 'divine' origin. This shall be told to you again and again that I certainly reveal Myself to all people through the voice of the heart, that everyone may feel addressed by Me, that I place into everyone's heart what he should or should not do .... and that I order his thinking, that I enlighten him and thus he can always walk on the right path because he is guided and cared for by Me, as well as he devotes himself to Me intimately, as soon as he consciously requests My guidance .... But you should also know that I unmistakably reveal Myself in the word .... that I convey My word to earth which is intended to enlighten you humans, which gives you truthful knowledge so that you will come to know and love Me. Thus My word will enlighten you about My nature, My word will reveal My eternal plan of salvation to you, My word will make the meaning and purpose of your existence understandable to you .... My word will bring you light .... And this, then, is "My spirit" who introduces you to all truth .... You had lost the light through your apostasy from Me, you gave away your knowledge, your knowledge of everything .... I want to give it to you again if you are willing to accept it .... I want it to become light in you again, and therefore I address you humans through My word which is conveyed to you from above as the 'working of My spirit' .... and which you will always recognize as originating from Me by the immense abundance of divine wisdom and love which radiates towards you and which also proves to you a powerful God and creator. This is the yardstick to determine whether you receive divine revelations which inform you about My nature .... that they provide you with knowledge which cannot be conveyed to you in any other way than through the spirit. And then you will also be able to judge correctly when inferior gifts are offered to you which did not originate from Me .... For bright light must shine when I Myself kindle a light in you, and this light will have a luminosity which penetrates all darkness ...._>Amen

God's grace and mercy ....

B.D. 7877 from April 23rd 1961, taken from Book No. 82

Trust in My grace and mercy and carry your burden of sin under My cross .... I have assured you of My forgiveness, no matter how much you have sinned .... I will not cast you out, for My love is so great that I Myself redeemed every debt for you because I do not want to lose you .... But you must recognize and confess your sins, you must feel guilty yourselves and strive to become free of them. Then My love can take hold of you and shine upon you again, because then your resistance, which you have offered Me for eternities and which has cancelled every effect of love, will also be broken. And only when you feel small and sinful do you humbly come to Me and ask Me to accept you again. Then you will voluntarily return to Me, you will have reached your aim for the purpose of which you stay on earth. Thus it is My grace and mercy which brings you back again .... (23.4.1961), for My infinite love cannot and will not let go of you because you are living creations of My love. And My love has given you utmost freedom because love does not tolerate coercion. The fact that you abused your freedom did not diminish My love. But since you rejected love and it could no longer become effective, My grace and mercy took its place. Mercy did not let you fall into endlessness and grace helped you .... i.e., I used means which helped you to ascend again as long as you were unable to undertake an ascent to Me of your own accord .... In your will to defend yourselves you did not deserve help, consequently they were graces which I bestowed upon you against your will because I took pity on your fate .... And you will be dependent on these graces until you have found your way back to Me of your own free will, where My love can shine upon you again and you will feel bliss again as you once did. Your wretchedness in the state of far distance from Me is self-inflicted, and it cannot be changed against your will .... But the fact that this will changes can be brought about by the supply of grace. And the fact that I bestow an abundance of grace upon you is caused by My profound mercy for the fallen being which has placed itself in a position where it has lost its spiritual bliss, where it is bound in lightlessness and weakness by My adversary but to whom it had handed itself over. For since My love for you has not diminished I cannot turn away from you indifferently and leave you to the adversary .... but My aim is to place you into the state of bliss again, and I therefore grant you constant help .... My love becomes active elsewhere because you rejected it .... For it does not give up on you, and thus I also truly know how it achieves its aim .... And again and again it will point you to Jesus Christ, in Whom I Myself accomplished the act of salvation for you .... again and again the divine work of mercy will be presented to you, which will grant you abundant grace if only you are willing to accept it ...., for I will not let you go, even if you remain in defiance of Me for eternities .... My grace and mercy follows you, and My love courts you until it has won you over completely ...._>Amen

The grace of receiving the Word is a commitment ....

B.D. 7878 from April 25th 1961, taken from Book No. 82

The grace of receiving the Word is a commitment .... on the one hand to distribute what comes to you from above, and on the other hand to endorse that which you recognise as truth towards your fellow human beings. It is futile if you, who receive the Word from Me, are satisfied with the information which is sent to you .... you should, with full conviction, pass this knowledge on to your fellow human beings who are in need of it. And you should not let yourselves be deceived by objections, for people will always do so, despite the fact that I Myself impart the pure truth to you which will always stand up to such objections. For this reason I need strong-willed servants who will stand up for what they receive .... And they will also always be able to clearly judge where error exists and therefore counteract it, because they are in My service and as My faithful servants in My vineyard are duty bound to do so. I convey the truth to earth because you humans are in need of light, you live in darkness because many fallacies were and are still offered to you .... Only truth leads to beatitude .... erroneous belief prolongs the path to the goal, for time and again it will obscure this path so that you humans will stray from the straight and narrow and require a long time until you get back on the right path towards ascent, on the path of truth, where the light is shining which I radiate down to earth for the sake of your benefit. Be glad that you may receive bright light and make use of this illumination .... Take the path that is shown to you, abide by My Word which sounds from above, which My servants convey to you on My instructions and which they can also justifiably endorse as pure truth because they have received it from Me .... And where you humans can recognise an obvious working of the spirit, that is where the pure truth from Me exists. And this is what you should adopt, but don't mix it with spiritual knowledge whose origin is doubtful to you .... And because it is My will that the truth from Me shall remain pure I also expect those who receive it from Me to firmly endorse that which originated from Me, for they know that they are thereby of service to Me, because they recognise the extreme value of the information they receive through My spirit ....

Consequently, if the pure truth is in danger of becoming distorted it should be heedfully guarded, for My adversary avails himself of every opportunity which presents itself in order to render the truth from Me ineffective. And he succeeds in doing so as soon as different spiritual knowledge is added to it .... which was conceived by human intellect and which cannot be spoken of as the working of the spirit .... My Word should certainly be spread, but it shall be offered to people in all purity, just as it came forth from Me Myself .... And it is My servants' task to ensure that this Word will remain pure, as far as it is within their power. For the seed shall not become contaminated because it is intended to bear good fruit. However, anyone whom I appoint to an office will also receive the strength from Me to administer it .... Hence, I will also guide you such that your attention will be drawn to where your work is needed, where you shall carry out your mission, and I will always guide your thoughts correctly so that you will work according to My will .... For receiving My Word is a grace of utmost significance, and anyone who wants to serve Me will therefore always have My support and at all times take the path which corresponds to My will .... I Myself will guide him, I Myself will turn his thoughts in the right direction, and I Myself will give him the strength to work in accordance with My will ....Amen

Implementation of the plan of salvation ....

B.D. 7879 from April 26th 1961, taken from Book No. 82

And anyone who offers himself to Me for service will also be accepted by Me, because I still need many servants in My vineyard, for the time is coming to an end and much work still has to be done. But what does the work consist of which you should do for Me? .... And why do I keep urgently recruiting labourers who are willing to serve Me faithfully?... It is the time of the end which you can no longer stop, for I carry out My plan of salvation as it has been planned since eternity .... And I truly know when a period of salvation has to come to an end, when it will no longer be successful. I also know about the fate of the spiritual substances which are still bound in form and which have to experience a change as soon as the time has come. And even if it may seem incredible to you humans, you should nevertheless reckon with a quick end and prepare yourselves for it. You, who are of good will, should be prepared to do vineyard work, that is, to point out to your fellow human beings that the end will come soon and proclaim My word to them, the gospel of love, the living out of which will yield ripe human fruit which can be harvested at the end of days .... And I will truly bless everyone who serves Me in such a way that he proclaims Me Myself to those who do not believe in Me, for there is great need .... because people do not believe in an end and because they therefore go through life irresponsibly .... But the end comes irrevocably .... And you humans will no longer stop it because the time is fulfilled .... But how do you want to be active as My servants in the vineyard if you don't believe the words of your father of the house, if you don't take His instructions seriously and act according to your own discretion? And you do this when you teach your fellow human beings differently than this is My will .... you do this when you give them hope for a long life when they only have little time left to mature as good fruit before the end. I truly don't want to condemn you because of your faith in My love, yet bear in mind that precisely because of My infinite love I have to put an end to this earth with all its creations, because I truly also recognize in My wisdom what serves everything created by Me so that it will one day become blissfully happy .... But humanity is drifting towards the abyss and I want to stop this fall into the deepest depth .... And what would people have gained at the end of their life, even if the earth remained as you wish, you who don't know My plan of salvation from eternity? Death is certain for every human being, no-one can avert it from himself, yet only he need not fear it who has found Me.... And if you, as My servants in My vineyard, thus help your fellow human being to find Me, it is completely irrelevant when this person will depart from earth, for he will enter into eternal life .... Only you should not forget that there is not much time left .... you should believe this and work all the more diligently .... therefore you should proclaim the gospel of love wherever an opportunity presents itself to you, and you should never awaken the hope in your fellow human beings that they still have a long time, you should never consider a 'near end' questionable, for this end is imminent, it will take you by surprise even though it has been announced to you again and again. If you want to be true servants to Me, then believe what I say to you through the spirit .... Do not doubt it, for I alone can give you information about what will happen and why it has to happen .... And My plan of salvation has been determined from eternity which will also certainly be carried out because My love, wisdom and might are decisive and because only your eternal bliss shall be achieved through this plan of salvation ...._>Amen

Thought waves from beings of light .... Spirit-guides ....

B.D. 7880 from April 27th 1961, taken from Book No. 82

I would like all of you to gain eternal life, so that you will be free from every physical form and can pass into the spiritual kingdom in light and strength and freedom. For My only goal is your eternal beatitude. And I will truly not rest in pursuing you and your love because only love will let you reach the final goal. Yet I will always allow you free will, and this is still refused Me because you lack love; for I Myself Am Love and if love is not within you I, Who would like to provide you with an abundance of bliss, cannot be present in you either. And as long as I Am still far away from you darkness will still be within you, for I Am also the Light of eternity Which has to shine brightly in you if you joyfully want to recognise yourselves and your origin. But as long as it is still dark in you, you are still being held captive by the lord of darkness who wants to prevent you from realising and striving towards the light .... Thus you are still under the control of My adversary from whom I, however, would like to release you yet will only be able to do so if you have the will to escape from him. Consequently, your will determines your fate, for your will has to decide for itself which lord it acknowledges; thus you have to make this decision yourselves as long as you live as a human being on this earth. But until then you are surrounded by shadowy beings which compete for your will and influence you in every way yet without being able to force you. However, you have a great gift of grace: you are able to think, and you need only to use this gift of grace correctly and for once try to ascertain the purpose and meaning of your earthly life .... In that case beings of light will certainly inspire right thoughts in you, since a desire for understanding will be judged as a desire for Me, Who is the Light and the Truth of eternity .... You are all capable of thinking but you rarely use this gift of grace in order to receive clarification about spiritual questions, which can only be given to you by beings of light who work on My instruction when you ask yourselves such questions ....

The spiritual beings will affect you such that thought waves will flow to you concerning questions of that nature .... If you reject them then illumination cannot be given to you; if you accept and contemplate them then you will also mentally receive the answer from these beings of light, and you will subsequently be able to make your own free decisions .... Therefore you can look for light and will find it .... but you can also shy away from light and remain in darkness .... But time and again light will be brought to you, time and again My love will pursue you and help you become aware of yourselves and then also find the path to Me .... But adverse forces influence you in the same way by encircling you with thought currents of an earthly nature, which the human being prefers to accept and ponder about .... for he is totally at liberty to accept or reject what mentally impinges upon him. The infinite patience of the beings of light, their great love for those who are unredeemed, will not cease, and time and again they will try to influence their protégés into listening to them, for they work on My instructions. The work they carry out in the spiritual kingdom is their redemption work, they are only the executors of My will albeit they are extraordinarily happy by being allowed to work for Me because they gladly subordinated themselves to My will, because in their state of maturity they have no other will but Mine, since they are permeated by My love and therefore their love also applies to the unredeemed .... to people who have been entrusted to their guidance and protection. For all of you have spiritual guides who accompany you from the time of your birth until your death and who fight for your souls against the enemy .... Yet your will alone is decisive which, however, will one day submit itself to Me with certainty, because it cannot resist the strength of My love forever ....

Amen

Taking notice of God's plan of Salvation ....

B.D. 7881 from April 28th 1961, taken from Book No. 82

The fact that I reveal My plan of Salvation to you should make you realise the significance of the time you live in. The knowledge I convey to you in all clarity is intended to give you an insight into My reign and activity, it explains to you the purpose of your earthly life, the meaning and purpose of creation .... this knowledge is so momentous and extensive that it could not humanly be offered to you .... such knowledge can only be imparted to you through the working of My spirit. The light I transmit to earth can shine exceedingly brightly and dispel the darkness if you humans are receptive to it, if you allow yourselves to be impressed by it as soon as I address you .... And the reason why I transmit this extraordinary knowledge is because you are approaching the end .... If you have been informed of My plan of Salvation you will also understand that one period of Salvation comes and must come to an end, for then you will only look at everything from the point of view that the fallen spirits must be given every opportunity to start the path of return to Me .... be it the human being or the spiritual substances which are still bound in the creations which, in their fundamental substance, emerged from Me as a being and shall also return to the Father's house as a being again ....

Since you know My eternal plan of Salvation you will also know about the infinitely long process of development which the fallen spirits have to travel in order to ascend again .... In that case you will also mercifully consider those who have not yet reached the stage of a human being and which suffer in their constraints because they originally came forth from Me as a free spirit .... And you will also know that it is due to the human being's free will if he fails during his earthly life, and that this free will therefore creates his own fate .... that his life on earth is unwarranted if he makes no use of his embodiment as a human being .... Hence you can understand that this spiritual being forfeits its own earthly life and that the termination of one period of Salvation is merely an act of love on My part, Who also wants to help the advancement of those spirituals substances who long for their final form so as to be able to release themselves for good by taking the final path across earth as a human being .... And I inform you humans of My plan of Salvation in the last days as a special grace because it will make it easier for you to believe in an end once you have correctly recognised the correlations .... For even if a thousand years are like a day before Me .... the last day which has been determined for eternity will nevertheless arrive sooner or later .... And then I will separate the sheep from the goats .... and those who are and remain faithful to Me will be saved, none of those need be afraid when the earth begins to tremble, for their life will be guaranteed for all eternity ....

Therefore, understand My Words correctly and don't doubt Me and My Word, which comes to you from above announcing a near end to you and which will fulfil itself because it is the truth .... Those who take notice of My revelations should really find it easy to believe since you are aware of all the correlations .... For I have revealed My 'plan of Salvation' to you, you have received extraordinary knowledge to enlighten you, so that you will be able to believe .... You cannot persuade Me not to carry out My plan of Salvation, you cannot delay the day of the end because it has been predetermined for eternity .... But every one of you can belong to those to whom I have promised My protection if they remain faithful to Me .... you can belong to the few righteous people whom My arm will protect, whom I will lift away from earth when the hour has come which signifies the end for all creations on, in and above the earth .... For My might is great, My love is infinite and applies to all as yet unredeemed spiritual beings, and My wisdom truly knows when the time is right for a necessary change if the higher development is to continue in accordance with My eternal order .... And My love, wisdom and might will constantly be at work when it concerns the return of all fallen spirits who shall come home into My Fatherly house ....

Amen

A "teacher" must be filled with the spirit ....

B.D. 7882 from April 30th 1961, taken from Book No. 82

No further explanation is required for the transmission of My word from above other than that I Myself want to bestow the truth upon you because you walk in error, because you have perverted many doctrines of faith and because in the course of time the gospel I taught on earth has been contaminated in such a way that your spirit has become darkened instead of enlightened. You have made assertions which completely deviate from the truth and it is no longer possible for you to recognize Me and My nature correctly .... You interpret the written word, the scriptures, in a wrong way, you go by the letters and don't know the spiritual meaning of the words which I have put into them .... You are no longer able to distinguish 'God's word' from additional human work .... You argue with each other because everyone represents different doctrines, and you are far away from the pure truth .... And I want to give it to you again and therefore convey My word to earth, I bring you a light in whose glow you can recognize error if you yourselves desire the pure truth .... again and again the human being's intellect has intervened and suppressed the truth, because the intellect can be influenced by My adversary who fights against the truth because he wants to prevent you from recognizing Me correctly and then also striving towards Me .... Yet if you want to live in the light of truth you must also do your part: You must live in love and desire the truth .... Then it will also be your share. Yet without love you will not grasp the truth either, and you will distort its meaning again and continue to remain in error. The fact that I therefore manifestly appear by giving you evidence of My presence when I address you should not seem strange to you, for I am the eternal truth and will again and again seek access to you because I want to grant you eternal life which, however, can only be found through truth. But only the person who possesses the truth himself will be able to approach his fellow human beings as a teacher, and this person must have received it from Me himself .... But many people 'teach' who do not yet know the truth themselves, and error is spread instead of proclaiming the truth. The teacher must be so intimately united with Me that he receives the truth directly from Me when he teaches his fellow human beings .... Thus a 'teacher' must be filled by My spirit, then he will only represent the pure truth, because then he will be a true labourer for Me in My vineyard who scatters good seed in people's hearts which shall sprout and bear fruit. Therefore, everyone should first shape himself such that I Myself can speak through him if he wants to instruct his fellow human beings as a preacher, if he wants to bring them the gospel which guarantees pure truth .... which I Myself taught when I lived on earth. If My spirit cannot work in a 'teacher' then someone else will speak from him, for then it will not be his heart which impels him to proclaim the gospel but only his intellect, which My adversary can then also use by trying to obscure the light which, however, the pure truth signifies for the human being. You, who proclaim My gospel, you should be serious about shaping yourselves so that I can pour out My spirit upon you .... You shall not speak out of your intellect, but you shall let Me Myself speak through the heart .... And truly, you will distance yourselves from teachings which are untrue, you will inwardly resist advocating something which does not correspond to the truth, for My spirit will then warn you against it .... And you should check how far your thinking is in accordance with My word, which I Myself convey to you from above .... For I am the eternal truth, and what is from Me must be truth .... And you will also recognize the origin of it at any time if you yourselves are serious about standing in the pure truth .... Only I Myself can convey it to you, and I am truly always willing to shine a light into the darkness on earth, for only in the light will you find the right path, only through the light of truth will you attain eternal life ...._>Amen

The near end is certain ....

B.D. 7883 from May 2nd 1961, taken from Book No. 82

And whether an end may seem incredible to you .... it is imminent for you .... To give you an exact time would not be helpful for your soul's salvation, but you should be content if I indicate to you that it is imminent, and you should live and work on yourselves as if the last day had already come tomorrow. For in view of the length of a redemption period which is now coming to an end, only a very short time can still be spoken of which remains for your redemption, for only a few phases will pass until the end which are necessary for the separation of spirits .... And as it has been predetermined since eternity, everything will also come to pass, because it is not an arbitrary process when this earth is reshaped but everything has its spiritual reason and thus everything also takes effect as a result of people's failure on this earth in their last test of will. However, you humans can all feel safe in My protection if you believe in Me and are willing to enter into My will .... you can expect all events with inner equanimity, always trusting that I will protect My own .... provided you want to belong to My own .... But you should believe in an end and take the transformation of your nature into love seriously. If you lack this faith you will be lukewarm, then you will not be aware of the seriousness of the time which, however, is recognizable as the last time because I have often mentioned the signs by which you can recognize the approach of the end .... And therefore you should only be attentive and look around you with open eyes .... You should also try to associate My obvious gift of grace with the fact that unusual things are about to happen to you, which is why I also try to have an unusual effect on all people in order to shake them up, so that they become awake and realize the time in which they live. And they should not carelessly give in to the hope that I will be pass off with the end .... For I know when this transformation of earth has to take place, I know when people's low level has reached such a point that a change has to be created, that a turning point has to occur which, however, will not only take place spiritually but also earthly. For on this earth humanity never changes so that it strives for a higher spiritual level .... On this earth only a decline can be expected, for more and more people fall away from faith, more and more people deny Jesus Christ and His act of salvation .... more and more people fall into matter and strive back again towards the state they had long since overcome. And everyone is responsible for himself, for his will and actions; everyone has to accomplish the transformation of his being on himself .... because every human being is a once fallen original being which has to prove its will to finally return to Me .... And therefore don't give yourselves over to false hopes .... The end is irrevocably coming and you will no longer be able to stop it. But every individual can avert the fate of a new banishment for himself if only he surrenders himself to Me and then has also provided the proof of having passed the test of will .... then he may stay wherever he likes .... he will be saved from the end, for I know the state of every soul and its will, I also know that and how he can be saved, for My arm reaches far and will surely take hold of My own in order to fetch them to Himself when the adversity will be so great that only I Myself will be able to remedy it .... Believe in Me alive and you will also be able to believe in the end which will come according to the plan of salvation from eternity .... which will take you by surprise because the day I have determined for it will be observed and because the time is fulfilled ...._>Amen

The letter kills .... Lifeless proclaimers of the Word ....

B.D. 7884 from May 3rd 1961, taken from Book No. 82

It is the spirit which gives life .... and every letter read with an unawakened spirit kills; it will remain incomprehensible to the human being regardless of how much effort he intellectually exerts in order to fathom its meaning .... And this has led to many errors, insofar as that My Word was translated or preached to fellow human beings by people who were spiritually unawakened themselves and who let their intellect dictate where the heart alone should have been able to judge or clarify matters had My spirit been allowed to express itself through it. I Myself was no longer able to speak to people through a preacher; instead he provided them with his own teachings and explanations which no longer corresponded to the truth. And thus the meaning of the Gospel, which I Myself taught on earth, became increasingly more distorted in due course, and only a few read 'My Word' with an awakened spirit and derive the right benefit from it for their souls. For all others, however, the strength of My Word remains ineffective, they listen to it, but because they don't understand it correctly they don't live accordingly and therefore cannot attain spiritual awakening either .... For rarely will preachers mention the 'working of the spirit in the human being' because they don't understand it themselves .... because they don't know that it is the direct result of a life of love and that they would be able to convince themselves that they become brightly illuminated if they lived a life of love themselves .... They read the sentence: The letter kills, but the spirit gives life .... and don't know what it means .... for they are still spiritually unawakened themselves. And this is why one can almost speak of a dead Christendom, this is why My Word, which is contained in the Book of Books, does not do a lot for people anymore, this is why the faith has become faint and weak, it lacks the strength of life, for it can only come alive through love, and love awakens the spirit ....

And if only a tender seedling grows from the warmth of love, then it will soon become strong and vigorous .... A living faith will develop and everything will awaken to life which so far had lain dormant in the person .... The soul will arise and allow itself to be influenced by the spark of spirit, it will come alive and never ever lose this life again. But then the person will also understand every Word which originated from Me .... he will be able to distinguish error from truth and by no means fall prey to error, for then he will be instructed by the spirit and empty letters will mean nothing to him, he will know the spiritual meaning of the Word .... And every Word that once came forth from Me and reaches his ears and heart will grant him life. Then he will truly no longer be a dead Christian and also be able to vividly testify to Me, he will not just use the Words of the Scriptures but also be capable of clarifying their spiritual meaning .... he will in truth be a teacher of his fellow human beings in accordance with My will, for he then will let Me Myself be in him so that I can express Myself through the spirit when he instructs his fellow human beings .... And only those who work on My instructions are My true servants .... For I do not call a proclaimer of My Word who only knows the letters without understanding their spiritual meaning My servant .... because he has appointed himself and not made himself worthy of My calling first, which requires that a person wanting to work for Me is spiritually awake. Yet as soon as he not only teaches love, which is the epitome of My Gospel .... as soon as he also lives a life of love, he will also awaken the spirit in him to life, and then he will be a welcome servant for Me through whom I will be able to work, through whom I will be able to address people Myself who then can also perceptibly feel the strength of My Word .... And those who allow themselves to be awakened will come to life again, who look for Me with a sincere will and appeal to Me for the strength of My spirit .... For they will make an effort to live My Word .... by living a life of love they will awaken the spirit within them, they will no longer be lifeless proclaimers of My Word but full of life and bearing witness to Me ....

Amen

The work of redemption through Jesus Christ ....

B.D. 7885 from May 4th 1961, taken from Book No. 82

You cannot occupy your thoughts often enough with Jesus Christ's act of salvation, for it was the most powerful thing that has ever happened and will ever happen on earth .... I Myself, your God and creator, your father from eternity, embodied Myself in this human being Jesus and walked the path across earth as a human being .... You will not be able to grasp this until you stand in the highest abundance of light; yet as a human being it shall be held up to you again and again that this great event took place because of you .... And you truly cannot think often enough about the infinite love which prompted Me to put on flesh in order to be able to come close to you, who otherwise would have passed away in view of My light if I had not veiled Myself to you in order to be able to dwell with you .... I Myself .... the greatest spirit of infinity .... entered this earth and took on the form of a human being because it was necessary to accomplish a work of atonement for you and your immense guilt of sin in order to pave the way for you humans back to Me again, from Whom you had once voluntarily distanced yourselves. And this work of atonement was truly unique, for the most bitter suffering and pain ever endured by a human being, Who was pure and sinless and full of love, was inflicted on him .... He was tormented physically and mentally and patiently took all these torments upon Himself in order to atone for the great guilt of sin of His fallen brothers .... And in this man was I Myself .... I could not suffer as a spirit, therefore I took on the shell of a human being in order to take upon Myself the suffering which meant the redemption of the guilt of sin and which could not be avoided for the sake of justice, which demands atonement for every offence against My love .... This is why your God and creator, your father of eternity, embodied Himself in this human being Jesus, this is why I Myself lived on this earth as a human being, because I wanted to bring salvation to you, who otherwise would have remained eternally separated from Me due to your guilt of sin and would never have been able to take the path back to the father, because the path to the kingdom of light was closed to you as long as your guilt had not been redeemed .... Yet as long as you humans stay on earth you cannot grasp the full depth of this great work of mercy .... because your thinking is limited and you are still in darkness, i.e. in a state without knowledge .... until you yourselves have found forgiveness through Jesus Christ, until you yourselves have been redeemed by Him through His blood which He shed on the cross for humanity's guilt of sin .... only then will it become bright in you, and only then will you be able to muster understanding for the great work of love of your God and creator of eternity .... only then will you also be able to understand Who walked the earth in the man Jesus, Who redeemed you from sin and death .... And ever brighter light will shine in you the further you progress in your maturity of soul .... if you live in love as the man Jesus exemplified to you .... Then you will also often dwell with Him in your thoughts, you will recognize Me Myself in Him, you will sing praise and thanks to Me in your heart that I Myself descended to earth in order to bring you salvation, which only I Myself could bring to you by sacrificing Myself in Jesus for you and your sins. My death on the cross was a unique act of love which was accomplished for all times, for the past, the present and the future .... And it will never be repeated .... But in the spiritual kingdom it can be experienced at any time by the world of light, by all beings who have entered the kingdom of light and who can also measure the immense love and grace of their father, who caused that great act of love .... And they will praise and glorify Me and My name, for in their abundance of light they recognize the significance of the work of salvation, and full of love and gratitude they participate in it by seeking to lead the unredeemed spiritual beings to Jesus Christ and thus to Me Myself, Who was and remained in Him in order to be and remain a visible God to all created beings for all eternity ...._>Amen

Space exploration is not God's will ....

B.D. 7886 from May 6th 1961, taken from Book No. 82

The strength which emanates from Me and My Word will touch your soul and you will find peace in Me .... When you are ready to serve Me then the strength to accomplish My will, which I place into your heart Myself, will also flow to you. And you will think, want and act in accordance with My will .... And thus you can always safely proceed on your way, My blessing will always accompany you, I will take you by your hand and guide you such as it is right for you and your fellow human beings' salvation of soul. Just put your trust in Me and truly, I will never allow your confidence in me to falter .... For although your body does not feel the evidence of this strength but your soul receives it in abundance instead and is grateful for all support, the soul matures and unites itself with its spirit, and this strives towards the Father-Spirit, and the unity with Me will become ever closer. And if I Am then able to speak to My child My presence will be confirmed too and peace has to enter its heart, every worry has to vanish and the child only has to listen to what his Father has to say to him:

And I still want to reveal much more to you, for the end is swiftly approaching .... You will still experience things which will make you doubt Me and My Word .... You will ask yourselves why I do not intervene with My might when humanity arrogantly dares to penetrate the universe .... But a limit has been imposed on their projects, they will not be able to implement their experiments for long, for even these actions merely hasten the end, the forthcoming Judgment. I will let them have their way, so that time and again they will have to realise that their capability will never suffice in order to complete their projects. They have handed themselves over to My adversary who will constantly influence their mind and also give them a certain amount of strength which, however, will always have disastrous effects on people as well as the works of creation My adversary wants to destroy. It is the time of the end, which is merely emphasised by such actions, for people's spiritual state itself will give rise to the end. My adversary wants to destroy the belief in My existence and My might, and such people are already subject to him due to the fact that they have lost all faith, deem themselves masters of creation and try to prove it. Yet they will not have much time left for that, because they hasten the end themselves since they revoke the laws of nature themselves and thereby pave the way for a work of destruction which will encompass the whole world and every living creation in, on and above the earth ....

People's actions oppose God and that will also result in appropriate consequences .... But I allow My adversary's rage, yet people themselves could resist it and would then not become subject to his rule .... Time and again people are reminded of Me and My might and could quite easily take the path to Me .... Their will, however, is free and thus I do not prevent their actions, but My might and My will shall also reveal itself to those responsible for the anti-God activity that can be witnessed by all people .... They, too, will repeatedly be shown that a divine Power keeps expressing Itself Which proves their wrong thinking, for until the body dies I invite every soul to return to Me .... but I will not force it. And since My adversary cannot force it either, he influences all bad characteristics in a person even more and gains the soul for his disgraceful plan, since the craving for power and recognition is particularly strongly developed in people who do not believe in Me. For these are My adversary's characteristics .... It is his nature, which he passes on to them. But his time will soon be over, and My might, too, will soon visibly express itself .... Yet I will never give you such obvious proof of Myself that you have to believe in Me .... Time and again you have to bear in mind that I expect your voluntary faith which you should awaken through love .... And then you will also recognise the signs of the time; you will understand that you live in the last days when My adversary works in unusual ways, until the hour comes when he and his followers will be constrained, as it is has been proclaimed in Word and Scripture ....

Amen

Right to use the life force .... eternal life ....

B.D. 7887 from May 7th 1961, taken from Book No. 82

My love sustains everything and My love fulfils everything, for it is the strength which constantly flows through all My creations, without which no work of creation could exist. And therefore the human being also constantly receives My strength of love, it secures his life, i.e., all strength of life flows to him from Me, which he indeed takes for granted but which enables the human being to acquire spiritual strength which then secures him eternal life, even though he has to surrender his life, thus seemingly loses the strength of life. But true life only begins in the spiritual kingdom .... If therefore My strength of love flows through everything it follows that nothing negative can touch My creation from My side and that thus every work of creation must promote progressive development .... that it therefore fulfils a purpose which My love and wisdom has assigned to it .... For divine strength of love must always result in positive success .... But excluded from this rule is the human being in whose will it lies to use the life force positively or negatively, which fills him as long as he walks the earth. For it is up to his will how he evaluates his life force. His task is to acquire spiritual strength, which he does when he carries out works of love, when he only ever uses his vitality in order to serve out of inner drive .... out of love .... Then he opens himself to the spiritual radiation of love which he had once rejected .... And then My flow of love-power can flow through him and his life in eternity is assured .... But he can also completely fail as a human being if he only uses his vitality negatively, i.e. if he only strives for earthly things which are transient, if he does not recognize his actual task, if he therefore does not strive for an increase of spiritual strength and leaves his ego, which also remains after the death of the body, in a completely dead state, which is now incapable of any activity because it no longer possesses bodily vitality and had not acquired spiritual strength on earth .... Nevertheless, it remains in existence because nothing can pass away which has emerged from Me and My love .... And because My love gives up nothing it will also constantly endeavour to give life to the dead. But this process takes an infinitely long time again until it has to acquire 'life' for itself again of its own free will .... Nothing can pass away that I once created, but a state always comes for everything created where it creates life or death for itself .... For life, which lasts forever, is a state of perfection which the being in a state of free will must always attain if it wants to live for eternity and no longer lose this life. But since everything emerged from My love and My love never ceases, I will not rest until I can radiate My love through all created beings again and thus make them happy, for there is nothing insurmountable for love, there are no limits for love, it will work eternally and not reject anything from itself .... But it does not impose itself, it wants to find reciprocation, and this process has to take place in free will when the being walks across earth as a human being .... Then it must open itself of its own accord to My illumination of love, and then it will have eternally overcome death, then it will have awakened to spiritual life, and then I will have achieved My aim, which I set for Myself when the act of creation of the spiritual beings took place .... My love will always and forever be effective, it will always and forever bestow happiness, and you will never need to do without My love which once came forth from Me .... You only have to shape yourselves in such a way that you will be able to feel My love .... You must make the most of earthly life by acquiring spiritual life, and you will be eternally unspeakably happy ...._>Amen

True bearers of light .... Deceptive lights ....

B.D. 7888 from May 8th 1961, taken from Book No. 82

You will only ever be given light so as not to be drawn into darkness again, for My adversary tries to prevent you from finding the light. I, however, have promised you an abundance of blessings during the last days to prevent you from weakening and falling prey to his deceitful games. For he works in the disguise of an angel .... He ignites deceptive lights which do not shine but blind the eyes of those who do not recognise him. However, in your struggle of resistance against him you often use the wrong means by closing your eyes instead of striving for the true light which flows to you as an obvious gift of grace .... you do not hold fast to My Word, the visible emanation of My love, which you can truly successfully use to oppose My enemy, for he cannot abide My light and takes flight .... My love proclaims love, and love in turn awakens the spirit to life. And thus you can always be certain that the spiritual information will concur wherever true love prevails .... where My spirit can express itself .... But then you will discover contradictions .... False prophets will cross your path. They all want to proclaim My Word and you will not be able to find complete harmony .... taking you aback and making you question the working of the spirit in some of them ....

And then My adversary will have already won his game, for the thoughts become confused, people lose their spiritual certainty, they no longer live in unison but in opposition .... Thus the light grows darker, that is, My Word from above will no longer be recognised, it will be neglected for the sake of untruth which, under cover of piety, is far more acceptable and agreeable to people who do not seriously scrutinise it. And then, again, it depends on the person's degree of love whether he will set himself free from error, whether he will recognise it and voluntarily turn to the truth. The light shines in the darkness but it should not be concealed, it must be able to shine forth brightly which always depends on the will of the individual. And truly brightly shining light emanates from Me, from the Eternal Light. But I have only few bearers of light, people who are so permeated by their desire for truth that they are able to serve Me as vessels into which the truth can flow .... people who then will also pass on the light, who will not tire of proclaiming the truth but who will also notice where error has crept in and try to expose it, so that their fellow human beings, too, will be able to enjoy the brightly shining light which alone can give them truth ....

I want the light to be spread, I want My Word to be brought to people and I will bless those who voluntarily render this service to Me by letting Me speak to them and then spread My Word throughout the world .... and all those who thus want to serve Me will also receive the same Word from Me and stand up for it .... They will also recognise where My adversary is at work who tries to cause confusion amongst My Own in the same way .... who wants to extinguish the light from Me and diminish its radiance for darkness to set in again. And evidence of the truth will be provided too. All I ask is that you humans believe in My Words from above, which time and again can be recognised as My Word by people of good will .... And keep My Word .... If it brings you light, if it clarifies what made you question until now, if it shows your God's love, wisdom and might and you feel addressed by Me as your Father then you will also know that I speak to you Myself, and then you should believe unreservedly, for then I convey pure truth to you and this such that everyone can understand, that no one needs to speculate on the meaning of My Words ....

I speak clearly and simply to you humans so that you will truly receive light, so that the darkness of spirit will disappear, for I Myself Am the light of eternity. And since I love My living creations I also want to bring them the light which they had once voluntarily renounced but which irrevocably has to shine for you again if you want to find (and travel) the right path to Me into your Father's house. Light can only come forth from Me, the Eternal Light. You should believe that your Father conveys the light to you Himself because you are in urgent need of it and because there is not much time left .... But you also have to willingly accept the light, you have to willingly listen to the bearers of light, you should know that they are enlightened themselves and thus also able to give you complete clarification .... And all of you will truly find the path to Me when bearers of light lead the way and you readily follow them ....

Amen

Keeping the truth pure ....

B.D. 7889 from May 10th 1961, taken from Book No. 82

I need fighters who stand up for the pure truth .... And this prompts Me to call out to you again and again: Let My word from above suffice as pure truth and don't look for it elsewhere .... unless it is also from Me, but then there is no contradiction whatsoever. And anyone who receives the truth directly from Me should stand up for it and not let himself be distracted by any objections, only then can it be possible for it to spread and shine like a light into the darkness of night which is spread across the earth. And again and again I instruct you, My bearers of light, to keep watch over the spiritual knowledge you receive directly from Me .... Only then will you serve Me in the right way, for you don't know how My adversary works in order to take action against the light which shines down from above to earth, because people will no longer find their way out of the night unless a light is kindled for them which illuminates the paths they should take. Do not believe every spirit .... again and again I have to tell you this, but I also have to leave the assessment to you Myself, yet your spirit will instruct you correctly, it will cause you to reject or accept it if only you give it the opportunity to be able to express itself .... The truth shall be kept pure .... it shall not be mixed with foreign spiritual knowledge, it shall be recognized and valued as My divine gift of grace. And anyone who receives it and recognizes it as the 'voice of the father' will not allow anything else to arise besides it, because it is able to give him everything, because the soul feels satiated and no longer desires any other food .... But you humans will not be satisfied with this food if you let yourselves be fed elsewhere as well. Yet your souls will not be able to feel the strength which flows to them through the bread of heaven .... through the word which is conveyed to you as the working of My spirit .... Accept this word and give no room to any other spiritual good in your heart if you want to walk in truth, in light .... if you want to enjoy My presence, for I Myself am in the word with everyone who accepts Me .... I Myself speak to every person's soul who longs for the pure truth. And anyone who lets Me Myself speak to him also recognizes My adversary's activity and keeps away from him, he repels him and cannot be drawn into darkness again .... desire for light protects him from it, and he recognizes every shadow which wants to darken the light and steps out of it. And truly, it will always be My blessing with My light bearers .... I will reward their zeal with which they seek to keep the 'divine truth' pure. For I have given them the task to protect it, and thus they will also act in My will if they separate themselves from those whose spiritual knowledge they are unable to recognize as pure truth. For they feel responsible for the purification of what I Myself have imparted to them through the spirit, they want to be of service to Me, and they convincingly spread their opinion because they are in My service ...._>Amen

The final completion is the "fulfilment of the law" ....

B.D. 7890 from May 11th 1961, taken from Book No. 82

And this is the fulfilment of My law, that you return to Me forever .... For My law fulfils all beings which remain in divine order, which have completed their self-formation into love and now create and work out of this love because they are now powerful and wise, because they have become My image in free will .... On the other hand, it is a state of imperfection if the being once perfectly created by Me moves outside My eternal order, for then it lacks love, which is the fundamental principle of the eternal order, and without love it also lacks light and strength .... it cannot and will not be active according to My will .... thus it does not fulfil the law. But then it is also distant from Me and wretched. When the being left Me in all freedom of will, when it turned away from Me, it violated My law of eternal order but nevertheless remained My living creation which My love had brought into being .... And this love of Mine also draws the being back to Me one day, because this is also a law in itself, that the strength of love always radiates back to its place of origin .... only the duration of this process differs depending on the being's will. But it is certain that one day it will return to Me, and then 'the law will have been fulfilled' ..... Everything that happens in the meantime in the spiritual and earthly kingdom can be counted as part of the process of return, which takes place continuously and produces the most varied results .... For My radiation of love constantly touches all beings which are part of this process, yet they are received and evaluated differently again depending on the will or resistance of what once voluntarily distanced itself from Me. But it will be touched by My illumination of love, nothing will be left to itself because it would pass away without My illumination of love and this is completely impossible, for nothing can pass away that started in Me and My love. Hence the being can indeed come to a standstill if it persists in its resistance against Me .... but the process of return will never be delayed on My part, for My emanated strength of love will not remain without effect, because again and again it touches the imperfect spiritual essence which is bound in works of creation of the most diverse kind and also always guarantees spiritual ascent, because this bound spiritual essence cannot offer resistance, because it develops upwards through service in a state of compulsion. Hence it also fulfils the law, albeit in a bound state, and thereby matures so that it can reach the stage of its development where it must now voluntarily allow itself to be illuminated by Me and My love .... where the fulfilment of the law solely depends on its will. Hence it then has to re-enter My eternal order, it has to develop love within itself, it has to accomplish the complete transformation into love and then voluntarily rejoin Me by accepting its original nature again and proving that it has completed the process of return by creating and working next to Me in light and strength as My child. It can achieve this last perfection on earth, but then I will also have reached the last aim which I set for Myself when I created all beings. Then the law will be fulfilled, for since I Myself am a supremely perfect being, perfection is the highest law to which the being must subordinate itself which, as My child, shall now work in supreme bliss .... And this law will remain in existence for all eternity, for it is only ever the expression of My perfection, it is founded in My nature .... It is the law of love in which all beingness must move in order to be perfect and truly blissful .... And every being which has love within itself is in My eternal order, it is in most intimate union with Me, it has assimilated itself to My fundamental being, it has become perfect as its father in heaven is perfect and therefore eternally returned to Me, from Whom it originated as a created being and which has now reached the highest degree of perfection in free will ...._>Amen

Keeping the life source pure ....

B.D. 7891 from May 12th 1961, taken from Book No. 82

You will always be allowed to draw from My spring, you will never need to fear that this spring will run dry as long as you yourselves are willing for the living water to flow towards you from it. For I Myself have opened it so that you can refresh and strengthen yourselves from it, I Myself have opened the spring for you which supplies your soul with nourishment it urgently needs in order to mature on this earth. I Myself chose the vessel into which My spirit can pour, which therefore also had to be prepared as it is a prerequisite for the influx of spiritual good. For I want to convey My word to earth, which is the right nourishment for your soul .... Yet just as the body requires daily nourishment in order to survive and fulfil its earthly task, the soul must also be provided with spiritual nourishment, otherwise its path across earth will be fruitless and it will not be able to mature in order to enter the kingdom of light. Spiritual knowledge is indeed brought to you humans on earth but it is no longer received at the source, and thus the water of life, the word of God, has not remained pure; therefore it has also lost its healing power, it has no effect on the soul, for the human being no longer correctly recognizes God's will, he does not know his earthly task and his aim .... He receives nourishment which gives little strength to the soul, and the human being himself acquires little strength because he is lukewarm in his activity of love, because selfish love is too strong and he is not properly instructed about his actual purpose of earthly life. And that is why I repeatedly convey My pure word to earth which informs you. I open a spring from which the living water flows out again, which is full of healing power as long as it is received at the spring itself .... Thus I address people Myself, and you truly must heal from My word as soon as you listen to it and live it out, as soon as you fulfil My will, which I Myself inform you of through My word. And I will never close such a source .... But you yourselves must also keep it pure, you must prevent it from becoming polluted and that impure substances can mix with the water of life which reduce or even cancel its healing power .... I make it My task for you humans yourselves to ensure that purity is maintained, that you don't accept foreign spiritual knowledge and add it to the spiritual knowledge which sounds to you from above, which I convey to you through the voice of the spirit .... I truly only have the will to provide you with good nourishment for your souls, and I also know what serves them to mature .... I know what you need and I also give it to you. You don't need what I don't send to you, but neither should you take it from your fellow human beings who represent it to you as truth .... For I Myself distribute the truth according to My love and My wisdom. But I leave you free to decide whether to accept it as 'truth' or not, for even truth should not force you; the recognition of it requires your free will. But anyone who accepts it also recognizes when he is fed error by human beings and rejects it. And therefore the necessary power of judgement will always be present where I Myself have tapped a spring so that the water of life will remain pure and be protected from harmful additions .... My adversary's activity will always be aimed at weakening the pure truth, and he resorts to the most shameful means in order to achieve this .... But the strength of My word is enough that he will be recognized and repelled. And the vessels which I Myself have chosen to receive My flow of spirit will also be protected by Me, for they will always be faithful servants to Me or I would not be able to convey My pure word to them. For I recognize their will, I know about their love for truth and their willingness to carry My word into the world .... Therefore I can pour out an extraordinary flow of grace because I know how it will be utilized by those who receive it. And this also ensures My protection for them, for the end time requires the truth to be conveyed to people, and I will bless everyone who thus serves Me in this end time by accepting light from My hands and carrying this light out into the darkness of night in which people find themselves as long as they lack the truth ...._>Amen

Submitting one's will to God's will ....

B.D. 7892 from May 13th 1961, taken from Book No. 82

I require your complete submission to My will. For as soon as you become completely absorbed in My will, you will not be able to think and feel any differently than My will intends, and then you will live in such as way that pleases Me. Thus you must give yourselves to Me, you must accept everything from Me as inflicted upon you or bestowed upon you, you must recognise My hand in everything you experience and know that everything has its meaning and purpose, that everything belongs to your path of destiny which aims to achieve your maturity and is based on My love and wisdom. Then you will no longer grumble and complain, you will humbly give in and allow yourselves to be guided like a child by the Father Who cannot handle you in any other way than good and loving and to Whom you can therefore also entrust yourselves in every adversity of body and soul. In the past your will turned away from Me .... if you now voluntarily submit your will to Mine again, your return will have been accomplished and you will only need to shape yourselves in earthly life such that your union with Me can take place, and this necessitates a heart full of love uniting itself with the Eternal Love in order to complete the final return as a child to the Father. However, submitting your will to Mine also guarantees every conceivable help on My part to achieve this unification with Me, because I Myself very much want you, My living creations, to return to Me as children to your Father. And since I let everything .... the whole of Creation .... arise for the sake of this return, I will always be willing to further this .... thus I will respond to your every expression of will, and this truly in a richly blessed way, if it applies to Me. Then you will also always recognise My will in yourselves, you will do what is helpful for your soul; you will work at improving yourselves and avoid all sinful longings, you will fight all temptations by the enemy of your soul and prevail, because your heartfelt devotion to Me will provide you with strength from Me. Then your life on earth will truly not be a waste of time, because you will recognise its meaning and purpose and thus fulfil your task on earth of attaining spiritual maturity. Nevertheless, you will have to struggle until the end of your life on earth, because My adversary will not give up on you so easily, since he will still believe that he can win you back, and thus he will not stop harassing you .... However, a will which is inclined towards Me also guarantees you influx of strength, for I will not let My child fall into My adversary's hands again once it has turned away from him and taken refuge in Me because it had recognised Me as its God and Father of eternity. Therefore you need not be afraid that I might ever abandon you, don't be scared of the moments of weakness you will experience time and again .... I Myself watch over you and protect you from regressing into the abyss, I will not allow the adversary to gain power over you, I will always walk by your side, even if you don't see Me .... in order to protect you and to safeguard you from all harm which threatens you from My adversary's side. He cannot hurt you anymore as soon as you have found your way back to Me, which is demonstrated by your will being inclined towards Me .... For then your earthly life will only be spiritually oriented, you will deliberately detach yourselves from that which belongs to My adversary, even if you are still living within the field of your earthly duties and have to prove yourselves in them .... From then on you will receive all your strength from Me which will tie you to Me ever more firmly .... And because you will have returned to Me voluntarily and he will not have been able to force your will, My adversary will have lost his claim on you. This is why no-one can go astray if he believes in Me and strives towards Me in thought or through kind-hearted activity, which always presupposes the will for Me and testifies to the passed test of will on earth .... Complete dedication to Me also includes submission to My will, and then you will belong to Me and I will never ever let go of you ....

Amen

Perfection means conformity to divine will ....

B.D. 7893 from May 14th 1961, taken from Book No. 82

A living faith can truly move mountains .... You would be able to be in command over all the elements of nature if you had this living faith .... You would be able to transmit your will unto people and animals if in living faith you wanted to relieve their earthly distress .... Then you would always work with My strength, for in living faith you are most sincerely united with Me and able to use My strength without limitation. But what does it mean to possess a living faith? .... To possess such a high degree of love it means that you are fully enlightened, that you know of all correlations and thus also know of your past nature, when you came forth from Me in an exceedingly powerful and perceptive state .... The knowledge you possess now .... having become love yourselves .... will not let you doubt anything because you also correctly recognise Me and My nature, which is love, wisdom and might in itself .... And since you once were created in My image you also realise that the same power is inherent in you when you are united with Me, or, because you are united with Me .... But then you will also use your power according to your inner realisation. You will never attempt to accomplish something that would not be in line with My will, for then your will is the same as Mine because you will have reached the light, the correct knowledge .... It is not possible to have a living faith without love .... Love, however, also ensures insight into My eternal plan of Salvation .... Love guarantees that you think and act correctly, that your will is in line with Mine, that you will not work against My eternal plan of Salvation if you have the right kind of realisation, if you live in the light of truth. For although you will possess a living faith which enables you to accomplish everything you will nevertheless not use your inherent strength of faith to work contrary to My love and wisdom .... for your will, which has conformed to Mine, prevents you from doing this, so that every deed of love for your neighbour accomplished by your living faith will also correspond to My love if it serves his salvation of soul.

For My goal is and will remain that My living creations shall attain beatitude, the maturing of souls, the return of the once fallen spiritual beings to Me. And My love and wisdom will only ever manifest itself according to this goal. And since I have always known people's will My eternal plan of Salvation is based on it, and it cannot be revoked by people who still lack profound realisation .... If you want to be powerful on Earth and accomplish great things you must ignite the love within yourselves into a bright fire .... But this fire of love radiates brightest light, and in this light you will recognise Me and My nature, which is love, wisdom and might .... In that case, however, you will know about My goal and My extraordinarily wise plan of love .... And then it will truly not occur to you to work in opposition to this plan .... You would only ever try to influence your fellow human beings with love, so that they, too, will shape themselves to love, because you recognise that love is the only path to the pinnacle, to Me and to eternal life .... A living faith is the sign of a soul's highly advanced maturity, of a high degree of love, which gives life to this faith .... And with such faith you truly can also move mountains .... But you will always act as one with Me because your love has closely united you with Me. And then you also know My will, you feel it in your heart and act accordingly. But this will can never be directed in opposition to My love and wisdom .... For no wrong will can take effect in you either, then you, too, shall only think and want as I do, then for you, too, only the spiritual being's salvation will be important and you will want to help the souls which still linger in darkness. Earthly longings, however, will be alien to you and never prompt you into using the strength of faith ....

Amen

Justification of the supply of the divine word ....

B.D. 7894 from May 18th 1961, taken from Book No. 82

When I send My word down to earth then My greater than great love expresses itself in an obvious way because I know that you are in profound spiritual adversity and want to help you to get out of this adversity. I want to give you strength in such a way that everyone can make use of it who listens to Me when I speak to him directly or through My messengers. I know that you are weak and that you walk your earthly path in vain without the supply of strength, and therefore it is My constant concern to supply you with strength, and this happens through My word which sounds to you from above. For as soon as you hear My word, as soon as you open yourselves to My word from above, the connection with Me is established and My flow of strength can overflow into you and enable you to ascend. For I have blessed My word with My strength .... and thus it must have a beneficial effect on your soul, it must serve it to mature, it must be spiritual nourishment for it which helps it to attain eternal life. I was able to speak to all of you in the beginning, you all heard My word within yourselves, you were in most intimate contact with Me and My love constantly radiated into you, and we had a lively spiritual exchange through the word which emanated from Me and resounded in you and which you were also able to return and were therefore immeasurably happy. You gave up the ability to hear My word in you when you voluntarily turned away from Me .... And yet, I seek to establish the bond with you again and again but need your free will to do so .... And blessed is he who musters this free will, who allows himself to be addressed by Me, who makes use of My great grace that I dignify him with an address, even though he has not yet finally returned to Me .... But he has the will and I also comply with it by revealing Myself to him .... Yet you all cannot grasp the value of this gift of grace, for your God and creator, your father of eternity, inclines Himself towards you humans who once became sinful and voluntarily distanced yourselves from Him .... My love is so great that it applies to you and will apply to you for all eternity. And it is this love which speaks to you again and again because it knows you are in need. For you are still far away from Me, even though you are in the last stage on this earth, even though you live on earth as a human being and thus have taken your last external form before you enter the spiritual kingdom again .... But you don't take your task on this earth seriously enough, you do nothing or too little to achieve your perfection on earth, you don't live in love which would give you strength. And therefore I come to you in the word to teach and stimulate you; and I convey the strength to you to accomplish your transformation into love .... I bestow upon you grace upon grace because I Myself long for your return, because I want your earthly progress to be successful and you to detach yourselves from the world and its attractions .... And that is why I speak to you again and again .... (18.5.1961) and what I now tell you is pure truth, for it comes from the source of truth .... again and again you humans will distort My pure word and then the word offered to you will also have lost its strength. But without strength you cannot mature, without strength you cannot cover the path of ascent, without the supply of strength you cannot become blissfully happy. And since you are weakened beings as long as you live on earth My love is always willing to help you if you want to accept it. And My direct address is the surest help because it requires the bond with Me and every bond with Me also ensures the overflow of strength, which therefore now happens through My word. You are not even aware of what it means to be directly fed by your father with strength .... You cannot measure My infinite love, which leans towards you with every direct address .... and which also guides My messengers the right way to carry the strength to people which they need to ascend to Me. But a loving father knows about all His children's needs and does not leave them without help. And thus I also know where you are lacking, I know about your weaknesses and faults, I know about your will .... And as soon as it turns towards Me, My love will never let you go .... It will surely wrest you from the enemy, for you are Mine and will remain so forever, only your free will has to strive towards Me. And therefore I prove Myself and My presence to you humans when I address you, so that it will be easy for you to take the path back to Me, so that your will will be stimulated and you turn your eyes upwards to where your true home is .... For you are in a foreign land and you shall return home to Me, your father, Who desires your return, so that you will now be united with Me and eternally blissful ...._>Amen

Presence of God .... preparing for the temple of God ....

B.D. 7895 from May 19th 1961, taken from Book No. 82

I want to take abode in your hearts .... I want to be present to you at all times, I want you to desire My presence and therefore also prepare yourselves as a temple in which I can dwell .... And this means that you free yourselves from all impure desires, from all faults and weaknesses, that you shape yourselves into love, because love adorns your heart and thus this now becomes a vessel which can now receive My love and My spirit .... which is and remains a dwelling place for Me Myself, and you will now also experience My presence .... by addressing you Myself and being in constant intimate contact with you. If I can be present to you then you have truly passed your test of earthly life, then you have returned to Me again, from Whom you once voluntarily distanced yourselves .... If I can be present to you, then all your thoughts and aspirations will only be spiritually directed, then you will often dwell with Me in thought, you will hold a dialogue with Me, you will never feel alone again but always be aware of your father's presence and thereby feel inner peace and bliss already on earth, For then earthly burdens and worries will no longer weigh you down, because you hand everything over to Me and are certain that I will take care of everything for you, Who is present to you, Who dwells in you and will truly also faithfully take care of you. Let Me take abode with you and prepare yourselves in such a way that you will show your love to your father from eternity .... Make your heart a temple of God .... shape yourselves into love, because eternal love can only take abode where love is .... because I can only be in My primal element and because I long for your love. But then nothing will be able to separate us anymore, then the child will be united with its father and then it will be allowed to hear Him at all times, it will be able to communicate with the father as it once did when I revealed Myself to My living creations in the word, when they constantly received My emanations and were indescribably happy. And your degree of love during earthly life will also determine the degree of bliss My presence can trigger in you. And when My word resounds in you and you receive the evidence of My presence then this shall stimulate you into ever deeper love, for you receive a delectable gift from the father within you which, again, is only love and shall awaken or deepen love .... And then you shall also prove your love to Me .... You should carry My teaching of love into the world, you should try to encourage your fellow human beings to live a life of love, you should also want to help them to become a temple of God .... You should also awaken in them the desire for My presence and stimulate them to be lovingly active on earth. And you will truly perform works of love which are pleasing to Me .... For I want to take abode in all people, I want to be able to speak to everyone Myself, because then I would have achieved My aim that you humans have changed yourselves into love, that you can now also unite with Me and become blissfully happy ...._>Amen

There is no eternal death ....

B.D. 7896 from May 20th 1961, taken from Book No. 82

When I speak to you through the voice of the spirit then you can also be certain that you receive the pure truth, and you need not worry about spreading error into the world. But the working of My spirit is not always permitted, and then misguided teachings will also be represented as divine truth, and these will cause you to worry about the truth of the word you received. Yet you need not fear misguidance on My part, and you will always enjoy My protection as long as you want to be of service to Me and sincerely endeavour to only fulfil My will. It is a purely spiritual process which always takes place in you when the spiritual spark in you seeks contact with the eternal father-spirit, and the instruction you now receive from within through Me can only be of spiritual content again, for I want to enlighten you about things which are only significant for your soul. And therefore you will already recognize by the content of the good you receive whether the spirit in you or the intellect was active .... That the intellect can err is possible .... But My spirit does not err. Therefore you can pass on without hesitation what My love offers you through the transmission of My word, and you need not doubt or fear to represent an untruth yourselves .... It is coming to an end .... And this is the reason why I repeatedly convey the pure truth to earth, for much error has entered the teaching material and again and again I try to correct this error. I enlighten you in the most understandable and simple way about My plan of salvation from eternity .... What this means will only become clear to you when you dwell in the kingdom of light where you can see everything and are in fullest realization. But as far as it can be made comprehensible to you, the knowledge of it comes to you in order to give you only a small light why you stay on earth. I reveal Myself so that you receive information about My being... For I want to win your love, and therefore you should also know the being to Whom you should give your love .... And you shall know that I am Love .... You shall gain faith in it and never lose this faith again .... For I court your love, because you came forth from My love .... And thus I want to tell you one thing: What somehow gives cause to doubt My love is error .... Love is My fundamental being, and love never ends .... And the beings which emerged from My love never lose My love, even if they once voluntarily distanced themselves from Me .... My love follows them and does not rest until these beings have returned to Me again .... Thus they cannot be lost forever .... For if I were to relinquish just one being it would also mean that I had abandoned it to My adversary. And this cannot and will not happen eternally. The fact that the time of your distance from Me cannot be called a state of 'life' goes without saying, because the flow of strength of love, to which the being closes itself in resistance, is an essential part of life .... Thus it is then in a state of death .... But even this will not last forever because I will not rest until everything has come to life and I will certainly reach this aim one day. There is no eternal separation from Me, for My love is so strong that it will one day break the hardest resistance .... but not by coercion, because love does not use coercion .... But its strength is effective, and in the long run no being can resist the divine strength of love. You humans must believe in My love, which is infinitely profound, which can never diminish and which is the fundamental basis of all being .... But where would My love be if only one being were abandoned to ruin and eternally doomed to death? If this teaching is brought to you then reject it, for it does not correspond to the truth, it was brought to you by My adversary who tries to slip in wherever he can in order to invalidate the truth, in order to portray Me as an unmerciful God, in order to make people believe in eternal damnation. Even My adversary will return to Me one day because he will not be able to resist the strength of love forever .... And if this is certain, then no being can ever fall prey to eternal death which was torn into the abyss by My adversary and which would therefore be hopelessly lost if My love could not also redeem it from hell .... There is no eternal death .... let it be said to you, otherwise you doubt My love which truly achieves everything because it is a 'divine strength' which nothing can resist forever. And you can believe that My spirit teaches you correctly, for this is why I impart this knowledge to you, because you allow yourselves to be impressed by misguided teachings .... because it is the time of the end and because you should know the pure truth, so that you give all your love to the one Who called you into life and Who longs for your return because He loves you ...._>Amen

Whitsun experience ....

B.D. 7897 from May 21st 1961, taken from Book No. 82

The event My disciples experienced at Whitsun can repeat itself with everyone of you, for I have promised My spirit to all people with the Words 'I will send you the Comforter, the Spirit of truth ....'. It was not merely a unique experience only intended for My disciples, instead, My spirit flows time and again to those people who make heartfelt contact with Me and appeal to My spiritual strength. And, in fact, everyone can feel the strength of the spirit within himself, as his thinking will become enlightened, everything that was previously incomprehensible will be understandable to him .... For My spirit grants clarity and light because it is a direct illumination from Me, Who is the Light of eternity.

Hence, the outpouring of the spirit upon My disciples was not a unique experience, instead, this process was taking place for the first time, since prior to My crucifixion it was not possible for a person who had not yet found redemption through the blood of Jesus Christ to be imbued by My spirit .... As long as people were still afflicted by the original sin they were unable to establish this heartfelt bond with Me; the guilt of the beings' apostasy from Me stood between Myself and each and every person, and it was impossible for My spirit to permeate a soul encumbered by sin.

Once the act of Salvation had been accomplished the path of return to Me was also open for every person .... From then on it was possible for every soul to so shape itself through love that the awakening of the spirit into life took place, so that the spiritual spark in the person strove towards the eternal Father-Spirit and the person's heartfelt bond with Me enabled Me to pour My strength into him .... so that My spirit filled His soul and brightly enlightened him, teaching him from within in all truth .... so that the divine abilities, which laid dormant or buried within as a result of his past original sin, emerged again .... so that all these abilities became extraordinarily dominant and testified to his unity with Me .... so that they thus proved the divine nature of the one who had entered into unity with Me ....

Then the disciples were able to speak, for they were filled by My spirit; they were able to perform miracles, heal the sick and also have an insight into the spiritual kingdom .... Then they were true apostles of My Gospel for they recognised the truth within themselves, they were guided and impelled by My spirit to speak according to My will. They were permeated by the strength of the spirit, just as I previously promised that I will remain with My Own until the end of the world .... And this promise did not just apply to My disciples but to all people .... which this promise self-evidently shows .... I always wanted to please people, I always wanted to pour out My spirit, always convey the truth to them, which was only possible through My spirit .... Yet how rarely has My Word been understood, how rarely is this promise taken notice of, and therefore the outpouring of My spirit not aspired to either, even though everyone would be able to experience it ....

But I also linked it to the condition that you should believe in Me and keep My commandments .... for the 'outpouring of the spirit' is like a direct 'revelation'. And I can only reveal Myself to someone who lives in love, who thus awakens the indwelling spirit to life .... Do understand that My spirit will guide you into all truth .... that I, the Eternal Love, reveal Myself .... that I convey knowledge to you and thus educate you from within .... And in this way I also instructed My disciples. I gave them the ability to understand everything I had previously told them, and then, according to this understanding, to proclaim Me Myself and My act Salvation to their fellow human beings, for they should be informed of My will and the cause of their wretchedness, as well as the goal I had set for their life on earth. Thus, they needed to know everything themselves in order to truthfully instruct their fellow human beings ....

And at present I likewise fill My disciples with My spirit again and send them into the world, because people shall know My will once more and everything that lays ahead of them .... The Gospel of love shall be proclaimed to them anew by My servants who are imbued by My spirit so that they can carry out the task I have allocated to them .... For it is the time of the end and people ought to know the truth, which only I Myself can give to them through My spirit, which permeates those who are willing to serve Me, and who I send into the world again before the end has come ....

Amen

The Father speaks to His children ....

B.D. 7898 from May 22nd 1961, taken from Book No. 82

O, if only you would comply with My message, if only you would accept My Word and seriously consider it in your heart and live accordingly .... Then you would surely experience the strength of My Words, you would become clearly aware that your Father, Who loves His children and only wants the best for their future happiness, has spoken to you .... Time and again I tell you that only My deep love for you prompts Me to speak to you, and that My infinite love is the reason for everything you see around you, for everything you experience .... And thus I repeatedly give you evidence of My love for you but you fail to become aware of it .... You demand other evidence in order to accept that My revelations are true .... Everyone of you wants to be spoken to himself and yet I Am speaking to all of you when My Word sounds from above.

But consider this: you originated from Me as My 'living creations' .... and as My 'children' you shall return to Me again .... You will have to accomplish this transformation into 'children' yourselves. And it is up to you yourselves if and when you achieve it. If you seriously intend to reach the goal during your earthly existence then you will accomplish this change of your innermost being, you will establish a connection with Me in your heart, and thus you will also be able to hear Me speak to you in your heart and be happy. Then you are restoring the right kind of relationship as between a child and its Father by yourselves, and then the Father will also speak to His child, the child will be able to hear its Father's voice within itself and no longer doubt that the Father Himself is speaking to His child .... thus, this maturity is required by a person to whom I would speak directly ....

But mere words cannot prove this close relationship, and you should not only believe that you have shaped yourselves into 'children' but should endeavour to become your Father's true children. The purpose of My message from above is to encourage My living creations to conduct themselves in a manner which turns them into true children, who fulfil their Father's every will and to whom I can also speak like a Father to His children. My Word from above informs you time and again of My boundless love for you. My love is so immense that I bestow you with the undeserved grace of hearing Me Myself although you have not yet achieved the degree of maturity to be worthy of it. But since My love towards you has not diminished it overlooks your faulty condition and grants you grace in abundance. And you humans should deem the receipt of My Word as one such grace, by which I inform you that My Being consists of love, wisdom and power .... And whoever accepts My Word also knows that he is forever pursued by My love, that it cares for and protects him, that it will not let him go astray, and that it wants to prepare eternal happiness for him ....

Therefore he needs no further evidence of My love because his heart can feel it as soon as it has voluntarily opened itself .... And then the person also knows that he is and will remain My child, because then he will constantly be aspiring to reach Me, because he reciprocates the love I give to him ....And subsequently he is closely united with Me .... But every formality is unfamiliar to him, his inner life is entirely spiritually orientated, the external life hardly ever affects him .... He will only emit love, and this is the sign of his soul's maturity and not words and gestures which anyone can use even when the maturity of soul has not yet been achieved. For this reason you should never judge an external appearance either because it can conceal an inner life which you cannot see but which is known to Me at all times. Nor should you accept My Word with your intellect alone but accept it deep within your heart and it will work on and within you when you live in accordance with it and thus fulfil My will. Because the Word itself shall and will indeed convince you as soon as your will is turned towards Me, as soon as you sincerely aspire towards the Father, from Whom you once came forth ....

Amen

Order to the vineyard workers ....

B.D. 7899 from May 23rd 1961, taken from Book No. 82

It is truly not an easy office which My servants have to administer, for it imposes obligations on them which they cannot avoid if they want to be faithful servants to Me in My vineyard. They must always carry out My instructions, and I always demand readiness from them because it is often urgent work they are to perform. For according to their willingness and ability I have entrusted them with the ministry, and thus they must not be lukewarm and ignore My instructions .... And thus they shall scatter the seed which they receive abundantly from Me .... They shall prepare the ground for it: They shall supply the human hearts with the spiritual knowledge they have received from Me, so that it will sprout and bear fruit. Not everyone is able to receive My word directly from Me, which is truly the most delicious seed a human heart can receive .... Hence there are also only a few servants in My vineyard to whom I can entrust this good. But those who receive it from Me shall also spread it, they shall be diligently active and convey My word everywhere, for the time is only short and much fruit shall still ripen before the harvest comes .... For you humans are in the time of the end .... that is why My words are so urgent, and that is why I admonish you to be restlessly active, that is why I repeatedly instruct you to scatter the seed which I constantly supply to you .... I send you out into the world to proclaim the gospel to people again .... I know that I have assigned a responsible ministry to you, who want to serve Me, but I also know who is capable of it and who musters the will to be undauntedly active for Me. And My strength will also become apparent in these, for they will keep My word, they will be faithful servants to Me and do what I ask of them. And anyone who has to administer such an office can also always be certain that I Myself will stand by his side, that he will do nothing without My support and that I will always put the right thoughts into his heart so that he will act according to My will. And therefore it only requires full willingness to serve on his part that he is also able to carry out what is My will .... Then he will be an efficient labourer for Me in My vineyard, then he will constantly experience My blessing, My strength will flow through him and the work will be successful. Whoever wants to serve Me will also be accepted, for much work shall still be done before the end .... Many fields still lie fallow, that is, there are still many human hearts to which the word of God has to be conveyed, which therefore shall receive knowledge of Me and My love, to whom My word has to be revealed so that they will carry out the work on their souls, so that they will become suitable to enter the kingdom of light after their death .... There are many people who shall be led to believe in Me as their God and creator, Who wants to be their father .... there are many people who lack all knowledge about their purpose of life on earth .... These are all fields which lie fallow and which have been handed over to you, My servants, for cultivation. You shall supply them all with the seed which you receive directly from Me, and you shall ensure that it sprouts so that I can still reap a great harvest before the time is fulfilled. And so serve Me in all loyalty, listen to My instruction: Carry My word out into the world .... Pass it on to all those I lead you into the way .... do not tire of working for Me and My kingdom, give Me your will and all your love .... And I will truly fill you with strength to be active in My Will, I Myself will stand by your side and bless your work, for truly, you do not have much time left ...._>Amen

Light .... Radiance .... Wisdom ....

B.D. 7900 from May 25th 1961, taken from Book No. 82

All those of you who want to work for Me, who want to participate in the redemption of the as yet enslaved souls, all those of you who want to serve Me during the last days before the end, listen to Me: The mission for which you voluntarily placed yourselves at My disposal is very important .... It requires much love and patience for your fellow human beings, it requires effort and perseverance and a helpful heart which recognises people’s hardship and would like to improve it .... And it requires great love for Me, because a person wanting to be of service to Me will only enter into My will if he totally hands himself over to Me and thereby also receives the strength to accomplish his mission. The goal is to convey to people the truth which can only come forth from Me and which is absolutely essential if the redemptive work is to be successful .... because the human being can only become aware of his own state when he receives the truth, because only then will he recognise the purpose of his life on earth and only the pure truth will enable him to gain a correct image of Me as his God and Creator, his Father of eternity. Humanity suffers great spiritual adversity, being kept in spiritual blindness by the prince of darkness they spend their earthly life in a lightless state, i.e. they don’t know the truth, they come to wrong conclusions and only regard life on earth as an end in itself .... There is such a pressing need for supplying the truth that I will bless every person who offers his service to Me, because I can only convey the truth through you to people who do not shape themselves in a way that they can receive it directly .... I need you to accept the truth from Me Myself and to carry it into the world .... However, only a few are capable of receiving the direct transfer of My Word which can claim to be truthful knowledge .... which provides people with clear understanding, with the knowledge they need in order to live an appropriate way of life that helps them to attain perfection on earth .... However, first they must be encouraged to live a life of love, because without love they will be unable to recognise the truth of subsequent knowledge .... Love comes first, and then love will also guarantee the understanding for all correlations, for My nature and My reign and activity .... This is why only a loving human being can accept this truth from Me .... I can only convey ‘truthful knowledge’ if the prerequisites have been met for receiving it directly .... But where this can take place, those of you who want to serve Me should congregate and accept the light which you shall then carry into the world .... Understand that it is truly light which is emanated by Me .... that it also contains radiance, that is, it will also be clear and understandable to those to whom you want to pass it on if only they are of good will .... Then I will also speak to these human hearts Myself through the Word you impart upon them and they will recognise it as My Word because it gives evidence of itself ....

Safeguard this Word from all impurities, do not mix it with human thoughts, emphasise it as My direct emanation of love and only ensure that it will be distributed .... For people’s spiritual state is such that only My direct address can still have an effect, that only the strength of My Word is still able to affect people’s hearts and lead to a change in their nature. After all, people also want to be allowed to use their intellect .... they also want to recognise wisdom when knowledge is presented to them as the divine Word .... They don’t want empty phrases but they also want to deal with the subject matter rationally, which is only possible if the pure truth from Me is presented to them .... For this reason I convey this knowledge to you humans, for this reason I inform you of My eternal plan of Salvation, this is why I try to clarify the meaning and purpose of earthly existence and to explain all correlations, so that you will be able to believe if you are of good will .... Hence I kindle a light in you Myself and only instruct you to serve Me as bearers of light by distributing this light and to keep fetching the knowledge from where I Myself send it to earth, where it is received by a tool which I recognised as being suitable for receiving the truth from Me so that it can subsequently emanate the light .... so that it will disperse the darkness the prince of darkness has spread across people. And by its bright and radiant shine you will also be able to infer the source of the light, for that which is emanated by the ‘Eternal Light’ Itself must also disseminate illumination and be recognisable as divine emanation. It must be profound divine wisdom, a knowledge which testifies to My love, wisdom and power and which comprehensibly informs you about My reign and activity so that you humans can convincingly speak of ‘divine truth’. And if you, My servants, want to do redemptive work then you should spread this divine truth, you should pass it on to your fellow human beings, you should impart the light upon others and thereby dispel the night which is no-one’s friend .... You should help to improve people’s spiritual state, to ensure that they can all be affected by the strength of My Word, which will truly not remain ineffective.

Amen

The Head of the house takes care of all worries ....

B.D. 7901 from May 26th 1961, taken from Book No. 82

Just entrust yourselves unto Me and My guidance, and whatever you do or don't do will be right before Me .... you will take the paths on which you can successfully work for Me and My kingdom .... You will serve Me according to My will, for then I will always be able to take effect in and through you. It only requires your dedication to Me and your earthly path will not be a standstill, it will lead to the goal. And I still have much work for you before the end arrives .... I still want to bring salvation to many people in their spiritual adversity and need you for this, because it is easier for you to approach those who have not found the path to Me yet. And because I need you, I will also take care that you can work for Me in peace .... I will shape your earthly fate such that it will be endurable for you, that you can use all your strength for Me and thus be of service to Me according to My will. For your total dedication to Me will also allow Me to look after you and to guide you, so that you can accomplish the work for Me, so that you will be impelled from within to work according to My will. So be content with My assurance that I will take care of your every worry .... The Head of the house will have the wellbeing of His loyal servants at heart .... But the Father will also faithfully watch over His children and take loving care of them .... And you should know that everything is arranged according to the mission you freely accepted, for this mission is extremely important and significant, since much redemptive work will still have to be done before the end .... by offering your fellow human beings My Word on My behalf, because I cannot speak to them Myself as yet and thus it has to happen though you, so that they will not go astray .... For many people want to believe but cannot find the right spiritual knowledge which will lead them into a living faith .... Bringing them My Word and drawing their attention to a God and Creator, Who also wants to be their Father, is a truly grateful task which can have an impact for all eternity .... Even if it only saves one soul from repeating their progression through the works of creation .... the work in My vineyard will not have been in vain and will result in your spiritual as well as earthly blessings .... But because I can speak to you Myself, you are in possession of invaluable spiritual knowledge, spiritual knowledge which affects each willing soul, which can guide it into faith so that it will be saved forever .... And you may pass on this spiritual knowledge; you may repeatedly receive My gifts of grace anew and work with them .... You are in possession of delectable seed which you can disseminate, and you will truly serve Me as faithful servants if you fulfil My will and carry the Gospel throughout the world .... Therefore you can believe that I will prepare the paths you are meant to take .... You can believe that I will always grant you support, that you can come to Me as your Head of the house with even the smallest request and I will truly remove your every worry .... You can believe that I will take the worries upon Myself as long as you are of service to Me, as long as you take an interest in working for Me and My kingdom. Consequently, you should let go of all worries which still get you down in an earthly way, for I want you to recognise that you have a Father Who loves you .... that you are of service to a good Lord .... that I watch over you because you are of service to Me, and that I bless your work for Me and My kingdom ....

Amen

Vows not in the will of God ....

B.D. 7902 from May 27th 1961, taken from Book No. 82

What you want to achieve on earth you should achieve of your own free will but not feel induced to do so by coercion of any kind, for you should make a free decision of will and this alone determines your fate in eternity, your spiritual development, your spiritual maturity. And therefore you should not bind yourselves through a vow either, for then you will make your will unfree yourselves, and that does not correspond to My will. You will raise the objection that this vow was made by you of your own free will, but you should know that you are anticipating Me, that you are doing something for which you do not have My approval, which I would never give you either, precisely because of your freedom of will. You can do exactly the same thing you want to do even without having taken a vow, and then you will also be able to be certain of My blessing as soon as they are works of love .... But what good is a work which lacks love if you feel prompted to do such works by a spiritual compulsion? .... It will not take you one step further in your maturity of soul, and you will waste time which you could use better if you were free from any such obligation. You should not bind yourselves with a vow which I will never ever approve of, for every constraint kills, you render yourselves incapable of working with love .... because a constraint weighs down your soul and everything you do under this constraint cannot result in spiritual success. And that person who takes such a vow from you is also to be condemned, for he is controlled by My adversary, otherwise he would have to recognize the nonsensical, God-opposing nature which is expressed in a vow. You promise something and don't know whether you will be able to keep it, whether you will not break yourselves with such a vow, because you have completely wrong ideas if you believe that such a promise is pleasing to Me. For this reason no person should be of faith to make himself My servant through a vow if this is taken from him by a fellow human being .... As soon as he offers himself to Me Myself for service in My vineyard, as soon as he hands himself over to Me that I may accept him, his free will has become active and I then use him according to My will, where and how I need him. But a person should never take a vow from his fellow human being, and a person should never promise something if he himself does not know whether he will be able to keep it ..... For then he will have relinquished his freedom of will, and his actions or omissions will be of no value, they will not be regarded as voluntary deeds in My eyes, as the individual's free decision of will. A vow can be the occasion for an activity which is then only carried out mechanically and whose value is thereby reduced. And a vow can also stifle any love that cannot be forced, that must come from the heart and also develop freely .... And only that which is based on love is pleasing to Me. It lets the soul mature and promotes development. And anyone who has love within himself does not need a vow .... he is driven from within to do everything, and he will truly always act as it is My will, as it pleases Me and as it is beneficial for his soul's salvation ...._>Amen

Priesthood .... the right disciples ....

B.D. 7903 from May 28th 1961, taken from Book No. 82

I once sent My disciples out into the world; thus they were to proclaim My will, My gospel of love. And I instructed them during My life on earth, I Myself exemplified a life of love to them and thus enabled My disciples to be true proclaimers of My divine teaching of love. They were to present the urgency of a life of love to people and also make the effects of such understandable to them, and therefore the disciples also had to be able to prove in themselves what they proclaimed to their fellow human beings about it: They had to possess unusual strength and knowledge themselves so that people would recognize the truth of My teaching and then strive to attain perfection themselves. And the first disciples also had unusual strength and knowledge because My spirit was able to fill them, for they had been redeemed through My sacrificial death on the cross, and through their love they were in intimate contact with Me .... It will now also be understandable to you that only those can be called My true disciples and followers of those disciples who also provide the evidence of being filled by My spirit, who also draw unusual strength from Me through a life of love and most intimate contact with Me and have truthful knowledge at their disposal which they received from Me Myself .... It will be understandable to you that not everyone can call himself a follower of My disciples who was given an office by people which only I can bestow, because I know every person's state of maturity and will and therefore also who I choose for such an office .... The 'priesthood' cannot be conferred by people, it is an office which I alone have to decide upon, because people are unable to judge the inner maturity and will of the person they appoint to such an office .... And thus you will often find true 'priests', i.e. servants of God, where you don't suspect them, and you will be allowed to refuse your recognition to those who have made themselves into such, for My calling is part of it which is also to be recognized as such. The individual's inner life is decisive for the relationship a person has with Me. And the contract is concluded solely between Me and the person, and this truly does not require a third party who would have to determine where I alone make the choice as to whom I send out into the world as My true disciple in order to proclaim the gospel to fellow human beings. If the abilities which allow My spirit to work are not present, then the human being will not be able to carry out proper missionary work either, then he will not be a suitable tool for Me, he will not be able to pretend to be My disciple, and then his work will also be unsuccessful, even though he believes that he is doing vineyard work. At the time of My life on earth I chose My disciples Myself, and I still do so now, but a servant called by Me, who has reached a high degree of maturity, will also be able to judge what task he now has to accomplish, and he will then willingly comply with it because I Myself work through and with him and he now also has unusual strength and knowledge at his disposal which impels him to tirelessly work in My vineyard. And these disciples of Mine will preach love and live out love .... They will stand in right knowledge, they will stand up for Me and My name before all the world .... Their position in the world will be different from what you humans expect .... for they will be active for Me in secret but not fear any power they are subject to, for they acknowledge Me as their lord Whose instructions they comply with .... they serve Me of their own free will and are faithful servants to Me in the last days before the end .... They do not seek external honours and recognition, they do not seek rank and dignity, but they also do not shy away from those who stand in rank and dignity and want to be recognized as successors of the apostles, as successors of those disciples whom I once sent out into the world with the command: "Go and teach all nations ...." For My right disciples know their mission, and they faithfully seek to administer the office into which I have appointed them .... And My right disciples will also not shy away in the last days before the end, when the battle of faith will break out; then they will confess Me and My name before all the world, they will bear witness to Me and stand up for Me and My kingdom with strength of faith ...._>Amen

Self-salvation? .... Jesus‘ work of redemption ....

B.D. 7904 from May 29th 1961, taken from Book No. 82

No man can redeem himself, no man can become blessed by his own strength .... Consider that you are powerless when you enter the earth as a human being .... You are indeed given the vitality for your existence as a human being with which you can create and work according to your will. But in order to become blissfully happy you must be in possession of spiritual strength, and this is lacking in you who are still part of My adversary, who dragged you down into the abyss and, due to your past apostasy, rejected My strength of love, thus you became completely powerless. You were bound by My adversary and he did not let you go. Although I had already released you from his bondage when you were .... bound by Me.... through the creations of earth in order to slowly ascend again. But during your human existence he has control over you again insofar as he can influence your will, for you are still his share until you voluntarily approach Me. But for this you need spiritual strength which you do not yet possess. But the purpose of your earthly life is your release from him, the redemption from his control, from the fetters he had placed around you .... And because you therefore don't possess the strength to do so, you cannot redeem yourselves .... You need help, which only one can provide: Jesus Christ, the redeemer of the world .... In Him I Myself came to earth in order to accomplish the act of salvation for you, in order to redeem you from My adversary through My blood .... in order to acquire the strength for you which you need and which will be supplied to you if you acknowledge Me as the divine redeemer, if you want to avail yourselves of the blessings of the act of salvation. again and again I try to make the significance of the act of salvation clear to you; I try to make it understandable to you humans why you have to acknowledge Jesus Christ and His act of salvation and that it is not possible for you to become free from My adversary's power without Him, the divine redeemer .... that it is not possible for you to redeem yourselves.... that you need Me in order to become blissfully happy. You are unable to do so by your own strength, for you first have to acquire it, and therefore you have to muster the serious will to release yourselves from My adversary's power, and this will is weakened by your past apostasy from Me because you lack love .... You rejected the divine strength of love, you are without love yourselves, and love is the strength which would enable you .... Yet as long as you still belong to My adversary he will do everything to prevent you from working with love, and you do not have the strength to resist him .... You have to request strength from Jesus Christ and therefore also acknowledge Him as the one Who alone can redeem you from the enemy's power .... But then your redemption is also certain .... Then you will only ever use your available life force to work in love, you will receive strength and constantly increase it, and you will be able to resist My adversary, you will turn to Me, Whom you recognize and acknowledge in Jesus Christ, and his power is broken from the moment you entrust yourselves to the divine redeemer Jesus Christ, confess your guilt to Him and ask for His forgiveness .... For then you willingly turn to Me again, from Whom you once separated yourselves. And My strength of love can now radiate through you again, you will receive strength and now be active according to My will .... And your spiritual strength will grow, you will mature in your souls, you will strive for perfection on earth, and you will also be able to do so because you have become free from the power which kept you bound until Jesus Christ Himself loosened the chains and you can now live in spiritual freedom again. And then you will have attained true life, which you will not be able to lose again, for through Jesus Christ you have truly been redeemed from sin and death ...._>Amen

Divine love commandments .... right church of Christ ....

B.D. 7905 from May 30th 1961, taken from Book No. 82

Wherever the gospel of love is preached the spirit from Me is also active, providing that the mouth does not merely speak dead words which are without spirit and life .... that the preacher only uses dead letters of which his heart knows nothing. Yet as soon as the gospel is proclaimed alive it is I Myself Who speaks through the preacher's mouth, and then the word will not remain without impression either, it will touch the hearts of the listeners again who are also alive and desire to be addressed by Me Myself. Where love is taught I can also intervene Myself, Who am love .... And where love is taught My vineyard labourers are also active to cultivate people's hearts and to supply them with divine seed, for the commandments of love are given by Me Myself, they are the most important commandments, the fulfilment of which results in an inconceivable blessing. Where love is taught the first thing is done in order to achieve a living faith which presupposes the fulfilment of those commandments .... and where there is living faith is My church which I Myself founded on earth .... And thus all people who live in love and faith belong to this church. Hence you need never ask which denomination or school of thought is the right one .... for every one can register members of My right church, because people can be found everywhere who live in love and thereby also attained a living faith .... And these again will have awakened their spirit in themselves to life and also stand in knowledge .... And this is the sign of belonging to My church, that My spirit works in them .... that a bright light shines in them, that they are able to recognize the pure truth and therefore also reject error, that they are also certain of their judgment because My spirit itself instructs them and kindles that bright light for them. And thus true representatives of truth will also emerge from every denomination or school of thought. And those who are of the same spirit will come together .... And these will be happy when they find each other, when they gather and feel Me Myself in their midst, as I have promised. For they will feel My presence because I Myself express Myself through the spirit of those who bear witness to Me, who come together to exchange spiritual information. These are therefore alive in faith and also alive in their actions, for once they have recognized Me, which My spirit achieves in them, they will also eagerly stand up for Me; their predominantly spiritually directed life will become recognizable and inspire their fellow human beings to also look for the right life which, however, can only arise through a life of love. Love is everything .... Without love every spiritual organisation is just a dead building, because the members determine the life of this organisation. They must practice love, they must fulfil the divine commandments of love, only then will they come to life and never lose this life again. Therefore, every person should only ever try to increase his degree of love, he should not be satisfied with external actions and the fulfilment of humanly decreed commandments .... he should only pay attention to My divine commandments of love, he should remember that I only gave these two commandments of love for God and his neighbour when I lived on earth, and he should know that everything else results from the fulfilment of these commandments: a living faith, profound spiritual knowledge, enlightened thinking and the supply of divine strength in order to be able to successfully cover the path of earthly life .... For the aim is the union with Me, the complete unification, which, however, can only be achieved by love. For I Myself am love, and whatever wants to unite with Me must have completely shaped itself into love. This is so simple and understandable that love has to be lived first, that the commandments of love truly have to be called the most important and that therefore My church is only built on love and the faith which has come alive through love .... Thus only ever endeavour to live in love and know that I am present wherever My gospel of love is proclaimed ...._>Amen

"He who believes in Me ...."

B.D. 7906 from May 31th 1961, taken from Book No. 82

Again and again you will be informed that My promise will be fulfilled which states that anyone who believes in Me will attain eternal life .... but that you must live in a living faith in order to partake of this promise. And this in turn means that you have to live in love if you want to attain a living faith .... Love therefore guarantees you eternal life, for it gives birth to a living faith. But I must demand such faith from you, for if this firm inner conviction is not within you then you cannot understand the significance of the act of salvation either .... Then you will only be guided by words, you will speak of faith but in truth you will not possess it .... because you lack the knowledge of all correlations, a knowledge which only earns you a life of love .... Without love you can only speak of a dead faith, of words which lack the deep inner conviction .... You just don't dare to contradict a doctrine of faith which is offered to you, but it gives you no enlightenment, and thus you would also never be able to stand up for such a doctrine if this was demanded of you. I have given you the promise: 'He who believes in Me has eternal life ...." But you first have to deal with what I want to be understood by 'faith in Me' .... You have to think through what you are told about Me and My act of salvation and take a stand on it, and only then will it become clear whether you are able to believe everything, whether you are fully convinced that it is as you are taught or whether you have inner doubts. And this examination must be undertaken in all seriousness on your part. And then the degree of love plays a major role in what you are able to 'believe' .... Anyone who lives in love does not doubt, for the significance of the act of salvation and the mission of the man Jesus on earth is clear to him .... He knows that Jesus sacrificed Himself for the sake of humanity's sins and understands the divine redeemer's act of mercy .... He acknowledges Him as his redeemer and also knows that he cannot become blessed without the act of salvation .... He himself makes use of the graces of the act of salvation .... he believes in Me and can therefore come into the blessing of My promise .... for his faith is alive, it is not a dead form .... it is not a figure of speech, it is not words uttered only by the mouth .... It is felt alive in the heart, and such faith will also have an effect, it will be expressed in works of love, because love does not let the human being remain inactive but again and again expresses itself in works. And beatitude .... eternal life .... I can only give to someone who has changed to love and whose faith is also alive. All My words are spirit and life .... And thus the promises are truth and will be fulfilled, but I also require the right spiritual attitude towards them .... I cannot give beatitude and life to those who have not yet seriously striven for it, who have no inner contact with Me but which love establishes .... Then faith will also be right, and then the human being will also strive for perfection on earth, for he will have recognized Me by virtue of his love and faith and will long to return to Me again, from Whom he once originated. And then every promise I made to people when I lived on earth will truly be fulfilled in him. But a dead faith will not result in spiritual success, in a dead faith the human being will not strive spiritually on earth .... Although he does not contradict the doctrines of faith which are brought to him, he will not be able to convincingly uphold them as truth either, because he lacks the spiritual knowledge to do so as long as he lacks love. Without love, however, there is no life either, because love is the strength which allows for activity, and because 'life' means being able to be constantly active in God's will .... to be able to work in light and strength as My child and to be immeasurably happy ...._>Amen

Becoming God's 'children' .... Childship to God ....

B.D. 7907 from June 2nd 1961, taken from Book No. 82

At no time ever will I withdraw My love from you, even if you voluntarily stay away from Me .... one day you will return to Me again because My love will not abandon you. And I will always also give you the evidence of My love, I will take care of and provide for you when you live on earth as human beings, because I want to gain your love which will unite you with Me again as in the beginning. Thus you should never doubt My love .... But your love determines the degree of your proximity to Me, it solely depends on your love whether and when the unification with Me will take place. And you demonstrate your love to Me by the degree of your neighbourly love, which you should constantly increase if you want to become perfect. And that, in turn, necessitates that you completely relinquish your selfish love, that you strive to become engrossed in love for your neighbour, that you unselfishly help your neighbour .... Then you will come ever closer to Me, for with every deed of love you draw Me to yourselves, you ascend with every deed of love and establish the bond with the Eternal Love .... Then I can be in you Myself, My love will be able to permeate you as in the beginning, you will have become and will remain My children for all eternity ....

And your purpose of earthly life is that you, who once came forth from Me as 'living creations', shape yourselves into 'children'. Since you took the path through the abyss and became completely devoid of love as a result of your past apostasy from Me, it is a difficult task to shape yourselves of your own free will into love again.

It requires a strong will which has to be put into action. The strength to do so repeatedly has to be acquired through love or requested from Me through heartfelt prayer .... Hence it is not enough just to make declarations of love to Me, but it also requires deeds of love in order to receive this strength, but then it also results in a steady move towards Me.

As soon as a person voluntarily opens his heart in order to allow himself to be illuminated by the strength of My love his heart will be ever more willing to love, and one day he will achieve his objective: he will attain the childship to God as soon as his life is an uninterrupted activity of love in utter unselfishness ....

But only few will achieve this degree of love on earth, because a person's own Self still comes first, because it requires great effort for the human being to give up all wishes and longings for the sake of the next person; since the soul has to purify itself completely during its earthly life, and this requires a high degree of love and frequently a considerable measure of suffering too, so that the soul is entirely purged when it departs from this earth. Then they will have matured into true children of God and have already found unification with Me on earth, they will have shaped themselves of their own free will into 'children', which I could not create for Myself .... But anyone who seriously strives for this, who time and again in profound humility pleads for My blessing, who already feels like My child, will not slow down in his endeavour and reach his goal ....

But he has to be filled by love for Me, not by the desire for utmost beatitude .... and his love for Me will then also constantly heighten the degree of neighbourly love .... However, he only demonstrates his love for Me through his neighbourly love .... I want to teach you all to become My children, and all of you should also feel as if you were My children, otherwise you won't establish the right kind of relationship with your Father of eternity, from Whose love you emerged. You just should not forget that you are on earth in order to become My children, and that you therefore constantly have to make an effort .... But once you are My children then I can and will take you from earth, because then you will have achieved the goal for which I created everything .... utmost perfection in free will ....

I repeatedly have to bring this difference home to you in order to motivate you into utmost striving, for as long as you walk across this earth My adversary also has an influence on you, and as long as My adversary can still influence you he will also know how to stop you from becoming completely engrossed in neighbourly love, because as long as unspiritual substances are still in you, your body still has earthly longings, your selfish love has not yet been entirely conquered, and the human being still has to fight against these. But completely rising above them also ensures him a high degree of love, and then the unity with Me can take place, then the Father will draw His child to Him and will never ever leave it again ....

Amen

The end time justifies the gifts of grace ....

B.D. 7908 from June 3rd 1961, taken from Book No. 82

It is an unmerited act of grace that you humans may hear the Word from above, for in the time shortly before the end the human race will have reached a spiritual low level which will necessitate a disintegration of the earthly creation, a transformation and new embodiment of all still constrained spiritual substances as well as the souls which presently live on earth as human beings and, for the most part, are failing in their test of earthly life. People therefore don't strive towards unity with Me of their own accord, they keep their distance from Me and, in their rejection, are not worthy of being spoken to by Me .... It is therefore an extraordinary grace that I nevertheless lean down and speak to people, that I also allow My Word to be given to those who keep away from Me. Hence I forget about their state of unworthiness, I pursue those people who turn away from Me precisely because the time of the end has come and because this end signifies a renewed banishment into matter for many human souls which I would still like to avert while there is still time .... I call and coax, I let My light ray of love shine in all places, I touch people's hearts with this ray purely in order to make them come to their senses, accept and ponder My Words in their hearts and then live their lives accordingly .... I just don't want them to go astray for an infinitely long time again .... And this great risk exists, for only a few people have a living faith in Me which will protect them from the downfall when the hour of the end has come. For this reason My love grants you this final gift of grace, even though you do not deserve it .... And you need only not reject it when My servants want to convey My Word to you .... Listen to them and reflect without inner resistance on what I say to you .... Then you will also be able to gain faith in your God and Creator which will not be a blind faith .... And soon you will feel My love in you as well, because you will not dismiss the impression of thoughts coming to you because you will sense that they correspond to the truth. Simply let go of your inner resistance and you will be saved for time and eternity.

Listen to Me .... and the strength of My Word will take effect in you, because My Word will illuminate you with divine strength of love .... You won't hear empty human words when My messengers bring My gifts of grace to you .... Human words are easily discarded, but the Words of God exert an influence, provided that the human being does not fight this influence. Therefore I do not expect anything else of you than to listen to Me when I come to you Myself in the Words conveyed to you by My messengers .... I do not ask for anything other than that you do not turn away in indignation, but to think about it for once .... And I will truly help you to recognise the truth of My Word, your heart will feel addressed by Me and your thoughts will gradually turn towards Me, your resistance will grow weaker and the strength of My Word will begin to take effect in you. Simply surrender your resistance and, truly, I Myself will look after every individual person and convey to him Words of love and grace, Words of support and comfort, Words of wisdom, according to his soul's need so that it will recognise Me Myself in the Words brought to people by My messengers. For verily, I say to you: it is the time of the end .... And time and again My love and mercy approaches you anew and wants to protect you from the fate of a renewed banishment when the end has come .... And therefore I will still shower you with My gifts of grace and will still try to gain anyone whose heart is not yet entirely hardened for Me and My kingdom  .... I will try to reveal Myself to him as the most loving God and Father of eternity and he will truly be affected by the ray of My love. He will be able to recognise My Word as the Father's voice Who wants to help His child, Who wants to protect it from the abyss, Who still wants to save it before the end has come ....

Amen

The significance of Holy Communion ....

B.D. 7909 from June 3rd 1961, taken from Book No. 82

How often has the significance of Holy Communion been explained to you already, how often has the offering of My flesh and My blood been described to you as the offering of My Word .... How often have I told you that I Myself Am the Word of eternity, that I offer Myself to you, that you eat My flesh and drink My blood when you accept My Word in your heart .... Your soul needs nourishment which will help to heal and strengthen it, since prior to that it is sick and weak .... It must be fed with the bread of heaven and be given the water of life. It needs healthy nourishment which only I Myself can administer, for it must be spiritually fed, it must accept food from the spiritual kingdom. And this is why you must partake of the Supper at My table with your host, Who invites all of you to come to Him and let yourselves be fed by Him. Your soul shall receive bread and wine, My flesh and My blood is the proper nourishment, and thus it accepts Me Myself when it accepts My Word which I Myself convey to the soul from above. For regardless of whether I speak to it directly or whether it accepts My Word through My servants .... I always break the bread Myself, I always give the water of life Myself, and then it will always partake of My Supper at My table, which is richly laden so that no soul wanting to be My guest will lack nourishment. Yet by this I do not mean an outward practice, I Am not satisfied with the fact that you perform external rituals and acts in the belief that I Myself will then be within you, that you unite yourselves with Me when you take part in the ceremonies which you understand as the Lord's Supper, as Holy Communion .... They will only ever remain mere external acts and rituals if you do not wholeheartedly desire to hear My Word, to be addressed by Me .... if your soul does not hunger and thirst for the bread of heaven and the water of life: for My Word ....

For I Myself Am My Word, and only when you are seized by great longing for My Word can you say that you intimately unite yourselves with Me and take Supper with Me, for only then will I be able to offer you bread and wine .... My flesh and My blood .... Only then will you have come to My table in order to take Supper with Me, then you will receive Me Myself, as I have promised .... I Am the Word .... And the Word has become flesh .... And thus you should understand My Words correctly which I spoke on earth 'Whoso eateth My flesh, and drinketh My blood, hath eternal life ....' Only the person who hears My Word and allows the strength of My Word to affect him can attain eternal life, for his soul will heal, it will mature fully, through My Word it will know My will, and My Word will provide it with the strength to live in accordance with My will .... hence it will not just hear My Word but also live it and gain the true life, which it will never be able to lose again .... And because I know how urgently you humans need nourishment for your soul I send My messengers into the world and invite everyone to come as guests to My table and take Communion with Me .... And no-one will need to leave My table hungry, for it is richly laden for all those who come to Me with the desire to receive food and drink from Me .... I have wholesome food and a health-giving drink waiting for all of you, but you must come to Me yourselves, hunger and thirst must drive you to Me, then your soul will receive refreshment; time and again it will fortify itself anew for its pilgrimage on this earth, it will not exhaustedly fall by the wayside, for time and again it will be offered nourishment as soon as it desires it, as soon as it closely unites with Me and requests to be fed by Me .... I Myself will come to you, I will knock at the door of your heart and with anyone who willingly lets Me in I will indeed take Holy Communion and he with Me .... However, do not believe that you can find Me where only outward formalities are being observed .... where you close your ears to My Word which comes to you from above, for anyone who does not listen to My Word does not listen to Me Myself either; anyone who rejects My Word rejects Me Myself and his soul will remain without nourishment. It will have to starve and enter the spiritual kingdom in an immature and poor state when the hour of death arrives ....

Amen

Doctrine of damnation is misguided teaching ....

B.D. 7910 from June 4th 1961, taken from Book No. 82

Do not fear to become lost when you carry Me in your heart .... do not believe that an avenging God will punish you for your sins, that He has no mercy, that He will condemn you forever .... I Am a God of love and mercy, and will always help you to ascend from the abyss into which you plunged yourselves of your own free will. As a result of your sins you have placed yourselves into a wretched state; you created the state of suffering you find yourselves in .... Yet I will always support you to find your way back out of the abyss, time after time I will help you to become blessed again as you were in the beginning. You wanted the evil yourselves and drew it close to you, the effect of your past voluntary aspiration and action could never be happiness but has resulted in a miserable state ....

But your God and Father loves you because you came forth from His love .... and this love will never cease. Hence it will always endeavour to encourage you back, it will do everything to grant you a blissful fate, but it does require your free will. Since you once left Me voluntarily, since you once burdened yourselves with a grave sin, you also have to return to Me of your own free will again, you have to realise your guilt, you have to regret it and ask Me for forgiveness .... and everything will be as it was in the beginning, you will be blissfully happy in your relationship with Me .... Thus you may always believe in a God of love and mercy .... for although I Am also a righteous God I will nevertheless not leave you to your self-chosen destiny or inflict punishments on you .... It is therefore wrong to say that I condemn you for your sins .... instead I meet this attitude with the act of My love and compassion: My sacrificial death on the cross on behalf of your sins. If I wanted to condemn you eternally for your past guilt of sin My act of Salvation truly would not have been necessary. But I gave you the proof of My love and mercy .... I sacrificed Myself, I died for you, I surrendered My life on the cross for your guilt of sin ....

From this alone you can see that the doctrine of eternal damnation is a misguided doctrine, because My act of Salvation proves the opposite .... it gives evidence to you of a God of love and mercy, Who sacrifices Himself in order to redeem your guilt, Who therefore will not ever eternally condemn you .... A punishing God is not the true image of Me and My Being, I Am love and will never plunge My living beings into even greater misery than they already experienced through their apostasy from Me .... I want to regain them and therefore took their guilt upon Myself in order to redeem it, because I took pity on the destiny of the fallen souls and I wanted to help them to ascend.

But the living creation .... the human being in the last stage on earth .... can also refuse to accept My mercy and remain obstinately far away from Me, then he will stay wretched indeed and create his own fate of damnation which, however, he can stop at any time by merely approaching Me, by acknowledging My act of Salvation and by calling upon it .... He will always find in Me a loving Father Who wants to help His child, Who Himself longs for His child and will at all times support him .... He merely respects the free will of the child and does not force it to return. But then it will suffer an unhappy fate until the voluntary return to Me has taken place ....

I AM a God of love and mercy .... But righteousness, which is part of My perfect nature too, does not permit Me to provide you with a blissful fate since it was your own fault that you became sinful .... You first have to accept the atonement of your guilt through My salvation, you have to acknowledge Me in Jesus Christ and want to belong to those for whom I shed My blood on the cross .... And truly, you will no longer speak of a God of wrath, Who condemns you mercilessly .... You will experience My love on yourselves, for He Who took your past guilt of sin upon Himself and atoned it, wants to unite with you again and permeate you with His strength of love, and you will be and remain blissfully happy for all eternity ....

Amen

Transformation from death into life ....

B.D. 7911 from June 5th 1961, taken from Book No. 82

I guide all that is dead into life .... For the origin of everything in existence was life .... It was a state of constant activity in light and strength, for the strength of My love .... the foundation of everything in existence .... also permeated that which emerged from Me as a being, and this strength had to become effective in continuous activity. This activity consisted of constantly creating; however, the kind of creations cannot be explained to you since they were spiritual creations which your still limited thinking is unable to grasp. But it was active, and this activity was the evidence of ´life´ .... When the beings turned away from Me, when they opposed My strength of love, they gradually fell into a state of inactivity, and thus their state of life became a state of death .... They hardened within their substance and became immobile, rigid and incapable of all activity .... But then they could no longer be called happy .... And countless beings are still in this state of death, which once came forth from Me in all perfection, which were abundantly happy because they were able to be effective in light and strength without restriction .... but which nevertheless voluntarily gave up their perfection when they opposed Me and rejected My illumination of love, when they followed My adversary .... who, as My first-created being, also detached himself from Me .... into the abyss. Hence their state of life became a state of death .... However, I will not leave them in this state forever, I will try to bring the dead back to life and will not rest until I have reached My goal that everything which had once fallen away from Me has returned to Me .... until it has come alive again. But this process of return to Me will take an infinitely long time, which certainly will come to an end one day but the duration of it is determined by the being itself. For I have to take free will into account, which is the possession of every being as a sign of its Divinity and which therefore also determines the form and duration of the process of return. Everything you see around you, thus every work of creation, only emerged for the purpose of this process of return, for I devised a plan of Salvation which My love and wisdom recognised as successful and which is implemented by My power. I want to bring everything that is dead back to life.

And that means that all that which is rigid, all that which is incapable of activity, must gradually be allowed to become active again. But this is now decided by Me Myself, because I restrained the formerly rebellious will for a certain time of higher development so that it slowly returns to a state of ´life´ although in a state of compulsion .... i.e., during this time it has no free will, but has to move according to My will, in order to then, after an infinitely long path of development, reach a state of free will once again. And this process of development involves passing through all creations on earth .... it is a process which becomes understandable to you if you imagine that every work of creation is animated by individual substances of soul, which formerly belonged to the once fallen being and which, in its dead state, was dissolved into countless tiny particles, which thus carry out their designated task within the creations according to My will .... according to the divine law of nature .... You humans are only intended to get a rough idea of what Creation fundamentally consists of .... you should know that it did not arbitrarily arise without meaning and purpose but that it has a tremendously significant purpose indeed: to contribute towards awakening all that which is dead into life .... For that which once deserted Me were beings which I externalised as images of Myself, which I wanted to make supremely happy and, at the same time, find My happiness therein as well .... They had been My love´s living creations, which I will never abandon and which I also want to help out of their self-inflicted state of death, which I want to guide into everlasting life .... And since My love for My once created beings has not diminished I will not slacken in My efforts to bring these dead creatures back to life. Yet one day they will also receive their free will again, and then they will have to complete the work of My love themselves .... They must strive towards Me again of their own free will, just as they once turned away from Me .... Thus they must choose a state of life themselves, for their final perfection is not determined by My but by their will. And if this will fails, then the being itself will indeed extend the duration of its state of death, but one day I will reach My goal with certainty, for I will leave nothing in a state of death which once emerged from My love into a free life in light and strength ....

Amen
