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.

Let the power of My word become effective ....

B.D. 8109 from February 24th 1962, taken from Book No. 86

So always strengthen yourselves with My word and believe that the strength of My word flows through you and will always have a beneficial effect on your soul. And the soul needs strength, for as long as you live on earth it shall perfect itself, it shall cast off all dross, all immaturity shall mature, it shall increase in realization, i.e. the light of love from Me shall flow through it and also kindle a bright light within it. And this will always happen if the strength of My word can take effect in it .... Therefore you should often let yourselves be addressed by Me, time and again you should refresh and strengthen yourselves at My source. (24.2.1962) And you will also feel My presence if you are so inwardly united with Me that I can speak to you. And then hear what I say to you: Stand firm in all temptations of body and soul .... For My adversary constantly wrestles for your soul and will try everything to turn you away from Me. And he will not be prevented by Me because you have to make the decision yourselves and because I also know that his work on you, who want to be Mine, is unsuccessful. I help you by constantly sending you strength in the form of My word. And you only have to use this strength, you have to let it constantly flow through you by not loosening your bond with Me, by letting Me become the content of your thoughts, by wanting to be and remain My own forever. For he cannot force this will, this will will repel him because he recognizes that he is powerless against it. Nor can I prevent him from using unfair means because I don't impose coercion on him either .... I can only ever grant assistance, and you will all experience it in abundance. Long before I have already drawn your attention to the fact that you will often still have to prove yourselves against his attacks, and time and again you are admonished to watch and pray because the enemy is always close to you in order to bring you down. And I have also told you long before that he will do everything to extinguish the light which shines down from Me to earth through you in order to break through the darkness .... And where there is light his activity will also be recognized, and he will lose appendage, which he wants to prevent and therefore will use all means, and he will especially harass the light bearers .... But these are under My protection and need not fear him and his activity. And anyone who voluntarily places himself at My disposal to accept the light from Me and to carry it out into the darkness will also always be accompanied by beings of light who serve Me on My behalf and grant protection to the bearers of light. For the flow of light and strength has to flow to earth, because this path has to be shown to the few who want to take the path to Me and because they shall also receive strength to cover it, since it leads upwards. And anyone who consciously hands himself over to Me and distances himself from My adversary will also travel his path under My guidance and need not fear any counter-influence .... But you have to reckon with the fact that he will not cease his efforts to bring you down, for it is the time of the end .... And what he does not succeed in doing straight away he tries again and again to throw you into doubt, to give you a false impression of Me .... For he wants you to fall away from Me, and therefore he spreads lies and error and contributes to confusion wherever he can .... But you, who are and want to remain Mine, only abide by My word, which will visibly fill you with strength and you can resist at any time where its working is evident .... Withdraw the strength you need from My word, let yourselves be addressed by Me again and again, and thereby you will strengthen the bond and be filled with strength, for then you let Me Myself be present in you, and where I can be there My adversary must give way ....

Amen

The light of truth shines where it is desired ....

B.D. 8110 from February 25th 1962, taken from Book No. 86

Only pure truth can come forth from your God and father, and you should always ask Me for it, and then you will also walk in truth. You will never be able to get from a fellow human being what I have reserved for Myself unless he has received the truth from Me. But you will also always be able to rely on Me to protect the one who desires the truth from error. You humans cannot measure the value of truth, after all, it is the light which shines into the kingdom of darkness in which you humans find yourselves, because you are the spiritual substance which once fell away from Me and voluntarily exchanged the kingdom of light for the kingdom of darkness. You humans can indeed acquire earthly knowledge on earth if you strive for it, but this knowledge does not yet signify light .... You are in complete ignorance of your beginning and your goal as long as no light of truth is yet kindled for you .... But this light comes from Me, it comes from the kingdom of light, it cannot be found in the kingdom of darkness by any other means .... It must be requested and received from Me Myself if it is to truly be a light for you in the darkness in which you dwell. I am the eternal light and I also radiate the light into infinity, i.e., where I dwell conscious beings will be illuminated by this light and thus also stand in the light themselves, they will know everything and this knowledge will make them happy. I will also let My light shine into the kingdom of darkness .... There are also self-aware beings on earth who are without any knowledge, and I also want to shine My light to them if only they are willing to receive it .... for only in the light do they recognize Me, their God and creator from eternity .... Only the pure truth gives them this realization, which will also make them happy because their purpose of earthly life is now also understandable to them, which lies in the union with Me .... with the original light of eternity. And once you humans have come to the realization that I am the eternal truth, then you will also approach Me Myself for the supply of truth, for it signifies a light in the darkness for you, it signifies clear recognition of your relationship with Me, and you will then be filled with the desire to enter into this original relationship again, which ensures you light in all abundance. Your God and Creator is also Love Itself .... Which longs for Its creations and only ever seeks to promote your return. Love, God and truth are one .... Hence you must inevitably reach Me if you desire the truth yourselves, for then the light of truth will also ignite the spark of love in you, which is My share .... And love pushes towards love and unites with it .... And I want you to kindle My light of love in you, which you will always do when you yourselves perform works of love, for then you will draw Me Myself to yourselves, and then it will shine brightly in you and you will also recognize the truth in the fullest light .... and all darkness will be overcome. And thus only your will is ever valued, which shall turn to Me as the eternal truth .... This will will seek the bond with Me through loving activity, love will kindle a light as fire and truthful knowledge will be the result, this again will make Me truly recognizable to the human being, love for Me will ignite more powerfully and unity with Me will now be striven for with all senses .... For the darkness is overcome as soon as My divine light of love can radiate and break through all darkness. And I am always willing to kindle a light for you, I am always willing to convey purest truth to earth, yet you must desire it yourselves, you must express your will to escape the darkness, for striving for light is synonymous with the will to strive towards Me Myself, Who is the light from eternity .... I give with full hands, I only expect open vessels which willingly and joyfully receive My gifts .... I will give you light in abundance to lead you out of darkness, but you must voluntarily want to escape the night .... you must desire the light, and truly, it will shine for you forever ....

Amen

Urgency of vineyard work ....

B.D. 8111 from February 27th 1962, taken from Book No. 86

Don't let your needs of any kind weigh you down, for you can always come to Me and present them to Me .... I will always listen to you and take care of your adversity. And I will also put everything in order, I will guide your thoughts and place My will into your heart, and then you will only ever carry out what is also My will .... But always place your spiritual mission in the foreground, that is, don't tire of working for Me and My kingdom .... For this work is so important that you should not let anything hinder you from carrying it out, and I will bless you for it .... You will experience that My adversary will repeatedly try to prevent you from carrying out this vineyard work, yet My strength will work in you and he will not be able to do anything because he will act against Me Myself as soon as he wants to attack My word and I Myself will defend him with My might and My will. You should always abide by what I Myself have told you .... You should know that the end is approaching and that everything should be done to still save souls from the downfall .... You also know that I speak to you directly because there is not much time left .... (27.2.1962) I have foretold you that you will be in battle until the end .... It is a battle for Me and My kingdom, it is a battle against the adversary who will still try everything to turn My own away from Me and who will also openly proceed against the truth which I convey to earth through you. But precisely this shall be proof to you that you are active on My behalf, and the more will be done to invalidate My pure truth the firmer you shall stand by Me and not allow yourselves to be swayed, for your actions are under My blessing and you will be filled with My strength. And My support will also always be obvious to you, after all, I know all your hardships, your concerns and also your temporary weakness .... But anyone who is under My protection need not fear anything, he will be led out through all (from all) adversity. The flow of the spirit to earth shall be uninterrupted because this bond has to be maintained, because many people draw the strength from My word to resist all temptations of the enemy. And many people also desire this supply of strength, and therefore they shall not be disappointed. The earth at present carries countless spiritual beings which are in bondage to My adversary, and their activity is very strong .... They oppress those people who turn to Me, and strength shall also flow to them by Me addressing them, by them hearing My voice, even if not directly .... but they sense that the father addresses them and they long for this address. And as you, My servants, make it possible for Me to address those through you, you are doing a vineyard work of the greatest value .... I cannot force you to do so, your free will has to decide to serve Me as faithful servants in the end time, and where I meet this will I am also present Myself and guide you and your thoughts, I provide you with strength and grace, for My love increases the closer the end is. And if I promise Myself success from the transmission of My word then I will truly do everything to convey this word to people who are of good will, for My word is truth and truth alone is the light which can lead you out of spiritual darkness. And where I was once able to kindle a light I will also place My guards there who will keep it from going out, who will also prevent a clouding of the light because all help is needed to still save human souls from ruin. And thus you, My servants on earth, are repeatedly admonished to work diligently, for you serve Me and you serve the erring souls .... Don't let yourselves be held back from this service, for it is so important before the end that a light still shines out into the night .... And by spreading My word, which sounds to you from above, you act as bearers of light who are followed by people who are of good will themselves. To bring light to them is My will, which you should also make your own .... And truly, you will walk your earthly path as good servants whom the father of the house will also reward with His love .... whom He will fetch home to Himself in His father's house ....

Amen

Purification of Earth ....

B.D. 8112 from February 28th 1962, taken from Book No. 86

I want to purify the earth and turn it into a place of peace again, where love will reign and where I will be able to stay amongst My Own because their love for Me allows Me to do so .... But first a purification process has to take place, My adversary's activity has to be stopped, and thus he has to be chained up together with his followers .... that is, all souls enslaved by him have to be banished into hard matter again, all spiritual substances on the path of higher development have to be placed into forms which correspond to their state of maturity; and thus My adversary will lose all power, for the spiritual substances which will travel the path across earth in a state of compulsion again will have been removed from him .... and the people whose will he was able to influence shall have turned away from him and come back to Me for good, so that they, as the root of the new human race, can no longer be bothered by him. All power, which he associates with his adherents, will have been taken from him, for he will have no control over the spiritual substances bound in matter, in the creations of earth .... And there will be peace on earth again for a long time ....

Hence it has to be preceded by a purification process, and this will come about through a work of destruction of inconceivable proportions, for a total transformation of the entire earth's surface will occur, all creations will be disintegrated and shaped anew, which also means the downfall of all people and living beings, the disappearance of everything that shelters spiritual substances .... Although the creation work of 'Earth' will indeed remain, the power of natural forces will penetrate far into the core, dissolving the solid matter and giving all constrained spirits the opportunity to receive new forms. For everything will have become disorderly because people live and act in complete opposition to My eternal order .... Consequently, everything has to be arranged anew, which first requires the disintegration of the works of creation which, to you humans, is the same as your downfall, for no-one will survive the end apart from those who will be taken away by Me before the end ....

Yet this last event will only be dreadful for the human being, because his soul will be banished into solid matter again, whereas the development of all other spiritual substances can only advance, for new forms will be created for all spiritual substances to shelter them .... And the creations on the new earth will be incomparably delightful, and the spiritual substances will be given the opportunity to be of active service again whereby all spirits will be able to ascend and time and again change their present form.

This work of transformation of the old earth is about to happen to you humans .... And although you don't know the day and the hour, you, who do not want to be doomed, who want to belong to Me and not suffer the dreadful judgment of a new banishment, should prepare yourselves for the end .... Believe that you live in the time of the end and consider the thought that you are creating your own fate .... that you can live an exceedingly blissful and glorious life in the paradise of the new earth .... but that you can also descend into utter darkness, if you are not granted the grace to be called back before in order to still find the opportunity of ascent in the beyond .... And take your psychological work seriously, that is, live a life of unselfish neighbourly love and you will thereby establish the bond with Me and without doubt be saved from this downfall. Time and again I will send you My messengers to admonish and warn you, and time and again you will hear of or be afflicted by all kinds of misfortunes and disasters, for they are all reminders to make you consider the possibility of a sudden departure and your souls' fate, if it has not yet reached a state befitting its entrance to My kingdom of light and beatitude ....

I don't want you to go astray, I want you to achieve eternal life, but you humans live irresponsibly, you don't consider Me and neither do you consider your soul's fate after the death of your body .... And your attention shall repeatedly be drawn to the fact that you are approaching a dreadful fate .... that you, banished into hardest matter again, will have to start the path of evolution all over again in inexpressible agony and distress .... but that you will be able to prevent this fate if you listen to Me, if you believe those who proclaim in My name that you are near the end .... For the time is fulfilled and it will come to pass as it is proclaimed in Word and Scripture ....

Amen

Love and suffering purify the soul ....

B.D. 8113 from March 1st 1962, taken from Book No. 86

Love should be the driving force for all your deeds and failings .... then you will always do My will, you will work with love and thereby also attain the strength needed by your soul for your path of earthly life. The soul is meant to mature fully, that is, it is meant to push away all impurities it is still burdened with, it is meant to become translucent so it is able to accept My love's emanation of light which signifies strength and bliss for the soul. But My ray of love cannot penetrate it if the soul is still surrounded by dense layers, by impure longings and instincts, by all kinds of vices, by low characteristics such as pride, anger, vindictiveness .... by any kind of unkindness ....

The soul has to try to free itself from all these faults and longings, and the means for this are love and suffering .... The impurities dissolve through deeds of love, but the soul will also be released from them through suffering, and it can be ever more illuminated by My love and mature until it has become completely translucent, and then it need not fear death anymore, because then it can enter the kingdom of light, because its earthly progress has not been in vain since it has reached its goal on earth: the transformation of itself into love .... And therefore you will understand that My commandments of love are of utmost importance, that they have to be fulfilled, that your life on earth has to be a life of love if it is to be successful for you. You are only on earth for the maturity of your soul which, at the start of its incarnation as a human being, is still without love .... although I have provided it with a spark of love which can ignite and change the soul's still imperfect state until it is close to perfection .... But the person also has to muster the will to live a life of love .... He has to listen to his inner voice which constantly urges him to act with love .... He has to perform deeds of love or his soul won't change but will keep its lowly attributes and is then in danger of entering the kingdom of the beyond in a completely immature state, which means, that it will still have to go through torments of purification there in order to be able to enjoy happiness one day ....

Only love will release it from all impure attributes, only love will crystallise it and it will push all impurities away from itself .... or it will have to accept much suffering during its earthly life which can also mature the soul, because this calms it down and gradually also ignites the spark of love within itself, and then love and suffering work together and achieve the soul's maturity. And the human being should always reject his selfish love and give love to his neighbour .... Then he will change quickly, for only unselfish neighbourly love is the true, divine love which I demand, which the soul has to change into by itself during its earthly progress as a human being if it wants to attain eternal life. And therefore My divine commandments of love always have to be emphasised as the most important, for only love has the redeeming strength, only love will be able to achieve the soul's transformation .... Only through deeds of love will it mature and become bright and clear, so that My emanation of love will find no more obstacles, so that I can then make it blissfully happy as in the beginning .... because through love it will find union with Me, which is its purpose and goal of earthly progress ....

Amen

God's protection to the light bearers ....

B.D. 8114 from March 2nd 1962, taken from Book No. 86

Where My ray of love finds no resistance, where it can touch a person because he opens his heart and desires My illumination, My angels of light will also dwell there and grant him protection against My adversary's persecution. And this assurance shall give you inner peace which you need in order to be eagerly active for Me. Believe that I truly have the power to protect you if only I don't force My adversary, who also has the right to wrestle for your souls. But you, who want to be Mine, make the decision yourselves as to which lord has the greatest right over you, and he will now also use his power to push the adversary away from you. Yet his intrigue cannot be overlooked and he will pursue you, who want to serve Me, until the end .... But he will not be able to approach you because you are constantly accompanied by the angels of light who have the right to protect you because you are active for Me and My kingdom. Therefore do not worry, for I will take care of you .... For you shall carry the light out into the darkness instead of Me, you shall bring people a light which I Myself have kindled for you, because it is dark on this earth and people live in dense spiritual darkness. And therefore you should open your hearts again and again of your own free will so that I can let My light of love shine into you, which you should then pass on to your fellow human beings. The spiritual darkness among people is so profound that they themselves pass by an unusually luminous flame which they should look at with astonishment, for it is a direct revelation from the spiritual kingdom, a revelation of your God and creator from eternity .... They do not grasp the abundance of light and remain unimpressed by it, although they should realize that they are being directed onto a path which they did not recognize in the darkness but which they could behold in the light .... But as long as people feel at ease in the darkness of night, they do not strive for the light of day either .... And they will never be able to enjoy the rising sun which shines where My light of love can shine from above .... Nor will they ever attain knowledge which could make them happy .... They don't seek light, therefore they don't demand to know about their purpose of earthly life, about their beginning and their goal .... about their God and creator, Who let everything come into being that is apparent to them, and thus also the human being himself .... My ray of love could penetrate everywhere, i.e., the pure truth .... the knowledge of Myself and My being, the knowledge of the connection between creator and created being .... could reach everywhere. but people's hearts have to open voluntarily to this illumination of love from above .... and truly, radiant, bright light would be kindled in them and make them immensely happy .... Yet people lack this will and I do not force it .... but I protect all bearers of light, all those people who voluntarily open themselves to Me in order to receive My flow of love, from all activity of the opposing forces .... which will not diminish but will not be successful. For the bearers of light only fulfil My will .... And therefore they also experience My visible protection .... The end is coming ever closer, people are sinking ever deeper into darkness, for they do nothing themselves in order to reach the light. Yet My working from above is also ever more evident, and My adversary will not succeed in extinguishing a light which has its origin in Me .... This assurance shall only ever spur My servants on to more diligent work .... they shall carry My light out into the world, and the people who kindle a light on it again will be blessed, for they, too, now voluntarily open their hearts to Me and let Me Myself speak to them .... And I know My own and take them all into My protection .... And whether My adversary also seeks to drive them apart .... they find each other and work together on the great work of the salvation of erring souls, for each one does the work I have assigned to him, and every servant's work in My vineyard will be blessed ....

Amen

God's mission: to transmit the light ....

B.D. 8115 from March 3rd 1962, taken from Book No. 86

You will be guided and everything will approach you such that you will be able to carry out the work in My vineyard according to My will. For time and again I tell you that it is urgent and that you need not fear failure as long as you have the serious will to serve Me. And therefore only ever hand yourselves over to My guidance, appeal to Me for My support and then act as your heart dictates, for I express Myself through the heart as soon as you have first approached Me for My support. And thus I will also assign you the work you are to do for Me, and you will feel urged to do this or not to do that, because I Myself place this feeling in you and thereby give you the inner instructions which a faithful servant receives from his lord. When you spread My gospel into the world you do the most urgent work for Me, for people expect My address and I know their desire and will therefore support you in every way so that they receive what they need. I certainly speak to people everywhere, yet it can only rarely happen in this direct form that I can instruct them, that I can bring them the truth, that I can place them into a state of realization which is of greatest blessing in the last days. I can only rarely kindle a light for people which brightly illuminates the path they are to take in order to reach the eternal home. And time and again I say to you: Convey to your fellow human beings the light which shines to you from above .... Also enlighten your fellow human beings as you yourselves have been enlightened by Me, and impart to them the gift of grace you receive yourselves, because I love you all and want to help you reach your goal before the end comes .... And also give them news of the approaching end .... For everything I submit to you, My servants, everything imparted to you by Me directly is intended for the whole of humanity, i.e., everyone who is willing to accept it shall also experience what is about to happen to himself and to earth, and he shall also know about the reason for everything that happens. He shall also know why I speak to people directly .... Every person shall gain knowledge of Me Myself and My nature, because I want every person to learn to love Me, but this requires the knowledge of the pure truth .... And this I convey directly to earth and instruct you to spread it .... of My great love and mercy which still wants to help all people before the end. And thus this is also your task to convey My pure gospel to the world .... that you, as My disciples of the last days, constantly endeavour to instruct your fellow human beings by conveying My pure word from above to them, which I Myself want to bestow upon people through you who want to accept it and then will also safely recognize it as the voice of their father. And don't let yourselves be held back from this work in any way .... For even though it may seem to you that you have little success, I tell you that you cannot overlook the success yourselves, for every word which has come forth from Me continues to have an effect as strength .... You should always know that I direct all threads which originate from you or lead to you, and I only ever want to increase the number of those who allow themselves to be fed and watered with the bread of heaven, with the water of life. Their souls shall find the right nourishment, you shall offer it to them by passing on My word, which you receive from Me directly .... Be and remain diligently active, for the time is only short when you can work unhindered in My vineyard .... you should work while it is still daytime, for the night will come when an end will also be put to My activity, because the time is fulfilled which was set for the spiritual to reach its perfection .... the spiritual which lives on this earth as a human being and therefore has the opportunity to let itself be redeemed before the end comes. And it will be deep night for those who do not make use of the last short time .... But I will still let the light shine for all who want to accept it, so that they will not be lost for eternities ....

Amen

Only from God does truth emanate ....

B.D. 8116 from March 4th 1962, taken from Book No. 86

The power of the evil increases the closer the end is .... You must always remember this and keep watch and pray, for you cannot be vigilant enough against his cunning and deceitfulness, and you cannot unite with Me enough in prayer that I will supply you with the strength to resist him. As soon as you leave Me out, as soon as you go your way without Me, he is already at your side, and you will then find it difficult to join Me as long as he holds you captive. He scatters discord in your hearts, he tries to incite you to unkind speeches, he tries to awaken all bad qualities in you, and you are often too weak and don't recognize the originator of it, where only a brief thought of Me would suffice to push him away from you. He will not succeed in turning you away from Me, for My love keeps you because you long for Me, because your will is meant for Me and therefore I also have the right to protect you against his attacks. But you should be vigilant and not give him the opportunity to try his hand at you. Believe Me that he will nevertheless not be victorious over you, for he will always be repelled by the light which radiates towards him from you and which originates from Me, the original light of eternity. The radiance of this light will also give you the inner conviction that you walk in truth, and therefore the adversary will not succeed in extinguishing a light which I Myself have kindled in you. The fact that it does not break through everywhere, that people often do not feel its luminosity, is due to the spiritual arrogance of those who believe they stand in the light and can only ever show a blinding light which has no luminosity. But as long as they don't take the direct path to Me I cannot light a true light for them either .... And this, too, is to be regarded as a victory by the adversary who, however, will not gain a soul by it, because those souls also have Me as their goal, they just don't take the right path in order to easily and safely reach the goal. And My adversary will always know how to enforce truth with error, but the human being's will is decisive as to whether he nevertheless reaches the goal. People will raise disputes, opinions will be very different and everyone will try to prove them with his intellect .... Yet as long as they don't turn to Me Myself for clarification, no agreement will be reached either .... But as long as they do so there will still be darkness on earth, for the spiritual darkness can only be broken through by a light which emanates from Me .... And even if you believe that you can equate the 'word' with Me Myself, which you call 'My word' .... when I Myself come to you in the word, you will hear My direct address and truly, a light will shine within you which will give you brightness you never possessed before .... For My word is pure and unadulterated, which you can no longer claim of the book you possess, which has undergone many changes and which you also don't know how to interpret in its meaning where it still contains pure truth .... Why don't you listen to Me Myself when I want to enlighten you where you still walk in darkness? My love seeks to make the truth accessible to all people, yet free will decides whether My gift of grace is accepted or not .... Yet no-one shall say that it was withheld from him, for a heartfelt request for the supply of the pure truth is enough for Me to distribute it and that everyone who seriously desires the truth will now also think truthfully. Yet you, who fanatically hold on to spiritual knowledge which was also conveyed to you by people, will first have to check whether you have been instructed in the truth, and you will only be able to carry out this check with the request for My support .... Only then will you know what you may accept or reject, for only then will you be in heartfelt contact with Me, Who is the eternal truth itself .... And I will also fight this battle to the end against the one who is an enemy of truth .... And I will emerge victorious, because the light from Me will uncover everything and put an end to his activity for an infinitely long time ....

Amen

The soul's individuality ....

B.D. 8117 from March 5th 1962, taken from Book No. 86

For the sake of complete clarity I want to give you a further explanation: The spiritual being I brought into life, that is, which I externalised from Me as something spiritually tangible, cannot be denied individuality .... This being was created in My image; it was externalised by Me into infinity as entirely separate; it was self-aware and therefore also recognised itself as a thinking being with free will .... It was a miniature of Me Myself, but so minute compared to My fundamental fullness that one can indeed speak of a 'tiny spark' from the fiery sea of My strength of love .... And yet it was an individual with self-determination, except that through the influx of strength of love it was constantly in contact with Me, but it did not hinder the being in any way .... It was free and full of light and strength .... It was a divine creature which had come forth from Me in supreme perfection and from My side experienced no limitation of any kind. Any limitation or restriction of its light and strength was caused by itself because it was able to make its own choices .... And the same also applies to all spiritual beings which the first-created spirit brought into life through its will with the use of My strength .... They, too, were supremely perfect, every being was conscious of itself and thus an individual which was able to be separately and fully independently active in the spiritual kingdom in free will. Hence no being was bound to Me and My characteristics by force, every being moved freely and separately within the spiritual creations and was inconceivably happy. If therefore a 'fall of the spirits' is spoken of .... a descent of the original spirits into the abyss, it should be understood such that the beings refused to receive My illumination of love, that they rejected the flow of My strength of love, which ceaselessly poured out of Me and permeated everything with light and strength .... They no longer accepted My spirit, My love, they separated themselves from Me deliberately but would never be able to fade away again because they were and will forever remain My emanated strength of love. Each fallen original spirit was a being in its own right, an 'individual' .... and will remain so for all eternity .... It strove away from the Eternal Light, from the Primary Source, and therefore deprived itself of all light and strength ....

But the original spirit remained the being which once came forth from Me in supreme perfection. Even if the infinitely long process of guiding the spiritual being back to Me, where this being is dissolved and its tiny particles have to go through all creations .... all these particles come together again and, after endlessly long periods of time, form the self-aware being again .... the fallen original spirit .... so that shortly before its perfection as the human being's soul it can make a free decision again as to whether it wants to return to the realm of the blessed spirits or whether it will infinitely prolong its return again as a result of its own opposition .... However, the self-aware being .... the human being .... shelters as soul the spirit I once externalised, which will always and forever remain the same individual that once originated from Me .... It was perfect and chose the abyss of its own free will but it did not cease to exist, it did not become fragmented, it is and forever remains the self-aware being, with the exception of the path of return through the creations when its self-awareness is taken away, when it is dissolved and in the state of compulsion takes the path of higher development .... And even if the being has to travel the path through the creations more than once .... it will always remain the same self-aware being which once turned away from Me, which rejected the strength of My love and thus deliberately separated itself from Me despite the fact that this can never happen because everything that emerges from Me will always be inseparably connected to Me. Thus the 'apostasy of the spirits' is also to be understood literally .... The self-aware being I once emanated fell because I did not stop it and because it was able to determine its own fate in free will. And this spiritual being must return to Me again in supreme perfection if it wants to unite with Me in order to be incomparably happy forever .... For as soon as I can permeate it with My love again it will also regain its original state. However it always remains aware of itself .... it is lovingly united with Me and yet a free being which nevertheless has entirely entered into My will and therefore can create and work with Me in inconceivable happiness ....

Amen

Urgency and justification of the "revelations" ....

B.D. 8118 from March 6th 1962, taken from Book No. 86

And you will always be allowed to experience your father's love, for I will stand by you in every adversity, I will guide your thoughts and lead you on all your paths. For it is My will that you should work for Me, because I can only look after a few people with a task which, however, is necessary for people's salvation .... I can only address a few people directly and instruct them in the pure truth, but these few shall also use all their strength to spread the truth .... They should always be willing to listen to Me, because My direct address is an act of profound love for you humans and you can derive immeasurable blessings from it .... You should let Me speak to you as often as possible, for then My light and My strength will flow to earth and this flow will not only be received by you but also by many beings of light and also by self-aware beings which are poor in light and greedily receive it because it does them good .... because they draw strength from it which they need. I only ever want to make you, who want to serve Me, aware of the urgency of My word being conveyed to earth .... You should not believe that you are doing useless work because you can see little success yourselves .... You should only always be willing to serve Me as a vessel into which I can pour My spirit .... For your free will must declare itself ready for this, because I cannot force a person to serve Me as a mediator if I want to address people .... And I always want to direct your thoughts so that you now do what corresponds to My will .... So through you fellow human beings shall learn about their outcome and their goal .... they shall know that they are creatures of a power Which called them into being in love and wisdom, so that they should experience endless happiness .... For I Myself, your God and creator, wanted to give Myself away in My infinite love, and I therefore created vessels for Myself into which I could pour out My love .... I created beings for Myself which I shaped in My image .... And you humans shall know that you are these beings but that you did not remain as I had created you but that you turned yourselves into the opposite in free will .... You should know that this was your original sin, that you turned away from Me and that you now walk the earth because of this original sin .... that you have reached the end of your earthly course as a human being and that in this short earthly lifetime you should return to Me again in free will, from Whom you once voluntarily separated .... You should know the outcome and goal so that you live your earthly life consciously .... And therefore you also have to gain knowledge of your God and creator, because all knowledge was lost to you due to your fall into sin .... And only I Myself can impart this knowledge to you by speaking to you and .... because you humans are mostly unable to hear Me .... I therefore express Myself through a person who allows this direct address of his own free will. Therefore you should listen to all My messengers when they inform you of what you need to know in order to consciously live your earthly life in accordance with My will, which is now made known to you and only ever consists of you humans having to reintegrate yourselves into the law of eternal order which you once overturned: that you have to live in love which you once rejected and therefore fell deeply .... For love is My primal element which also once called you into being .... Love is also your original substance, your actual nature, which you yourselves only turned into the opposite and therefore you have also become unhappy .... The principle of divine order is love, and you all have to live in this order if you want to be divine creatures again and unite with Me as the eternal love .... And I repeatedly try to convey the knowledge of this to you humans through direct communication, which is therefore of utmost value and the spreading of which is My will, because it will only be a blessing for all of you humans if you know your beginning and your goal and consciously strive towards this on earth ....

Amen

Test the output of spiritual teaching ....

B.D. 8119 from March 7th 1962, taken from Book No. 86

Where the seed falls on good soil it will also take root and sprout and bear good fruit. But good, pure seed must be sown, and if you want to be good vineyard labourers for Me you must accept the seed from Me Myself, for I alone know what the fields, which are human hearts, need in order to also bear good fruit for Me. I alone know what human hearts need in order to guarantee Me a good harvest .... that they fall to Me as ripe fruit and I can gather them when the time of harvest has come. The best seed I can plant in a human heart is My word, which I Myself send to you from above .... For all you humans must hear My word, and you can also receive it everywhere if only it is your earnest will to be addressed by Me Myself, thus to hear or read 'My' word .... But if you hear about the direct address of your God and father through My messengers, if you receive My word which My messengers bring to you themselves, which they have received directly from Me, then you will also soon feel that a gift of grace of utmost value is offered to you, for the word will take root in you, it will not fall on your ears but be received by your heart, and you will feel the strength of the word, for you will strive towards Me, Whom you now recognize as your father Who speaks to you Himself. When My messengers convey gifts of grace from Me to you, you must not reject them because then you will reject Me Myself, Who knocks at your heart's door to seek entrance .... You should examine the gifts My messengers bring you, for I don't want you to accept them thoughtlessly; I want you to examine them and only keep what is good .... And if you are of good will yourselves My word will also touch you, and then the seed has already fallen on good soil where it can develop; then you will work your field of life yourselves, you will follow the instructions I give you, you will live in accordance with My will, you will practise the love which will then also bring about the maturing in you, and you will never want to miss My word again because you recognize it as the right water of love and life which you need in order to be able to fulfil your purpose of earthly life .... But beware of adding bad seeds to the field of life, for such seeds would only bring forth weeds .... it would only cause confusion in your hearts, it would not give you vitality but rather lead you to death, because it is watered by poisoned wells which are your ruin .... Your hearts must receive purest truth if the soul is to mature into eternal life. And only My word, which you receive from Me Myself, offers you this truth. Therefore, don't carelessly accept everything you are given as truth but check whether it originated from Me Myself, whether it corresponds to the direct impartations .... otherwise you may reject it as error which is of little value for your maturing on earth, rather, it still puts you in danger of handing yourselves over to death. For error comes from poisoned wells, error is My adversary's activity who never wants to help you to life .... but hands you over to death because he himself is devoid of all love .... And thus take care that My commandment of love for Me and for your neighbour is always preached as a matter of priority and that My word conveyed to you from above always contains these commandments of love .... Pay attention that the knowledge of the divine redeemer Jesus Christ is urgently brought to you through My word and that you therefore may accept everything without hesitation which shows you the way to Him, to the cross .... And know that you will then walk in truth, that I Myself will then be your teacher, that I Myself will speak to you and thus provide you with good seed which will always yield a good harvest .... And you will then not walk your earthly path in vain, you will listen to My servants and accept all their gifts which they bring to you in My name .... You yourselves will endeavour to utilize all these gifts and at the end of days will be harvested as ripe fruit by your God and creator from eternity ....

Amen

Reason for divine revelations ....

B.D. 8120 from March 9th 1962, taken from Book No. 86

Let My grace be sufficient for you .... and patiently bear all burden imposed on you to serve your soul's state of maturity .... and grant Me your ear so that you can hear My voice .... open your heart to let My ray of love enter and penetrate you with My spirit: Time and again I convey My revelations to you humans, time and again I speak to people through the mouth of a servant who is devoted to Me and I truly don't do so without reason .... I know that it is necessary to provide people with a light where darkness exists in their hearts. And I know that the darkness will get worse the closer it gets to the end. I also know who still seeks to escape the night, who strives towards the light of dawn, who is grateful to Me for a light which illuminates the path for him. And these are the ones I seek to address through you, who want to serve Me. I also know how they think .... where they err and therefore where their faith in Me is at risk because they have no clear concept of Me and yet deliberate on it .... I want to help them and clarify those things which appear doubtful to them, because I want to help them gain a convinced faith in Me as the most perfect being Which is love, wisdom and power within Itself .... And thus I manifest Myself, I Myself address people and convey purest truth to them, which they can and indeed will accept if only they are of good will. Every thinking person is occupied with a different problem .... and if they receive a light they will immerse themselves increasingly deeper into spiritual knowledge, which is always beneficial .... both for the person himself as well as for Me, Who only ever wants people to reach the goal they were given for their life on earth. Some problems needing clarification are especially important: People must be given the right knowledge about Jesus Christ and His act of Salvation, because they must acknowledge Him without fail in order to free themselves from the opposing power .... They must be informed of this adversary and what he signifies for people .... and they must know that their time on earth as a human being was caused by him in the first place .... Hence they must also learn about the spiritual correlations, about their very first beginning and their goal .... They must know what they are, what they had been and what they shall become again .... This knowledge makes people live more responsibly and precisely this knowledge was distorted time and again through the adversary's influence, and thus people are often misguided .... And since My adversary also has great power at his disposal, which manifests itself particularly strongly at the end of a period of Salvation, he has also succeeded time and again in interspersing My pure truth with errors .... thus motivating Me time and again to counter it with the pure truth, because I want to help people to fulfil their last short task in life.

If therefore a person knows the truth, then he will own a brightly radiating light which the adversary avoids .... Error, however, permits the adversary's continued influence and is a danger for the person .... Thus you can understand that I will repeatedly transmit the pure truth to earth but that it will not stay that way for long, that it will not remain as pure as it was when it originated from Me .... As soon as the light is clouded its radiance is no longer as clear as to guarantee a correct understanding. And the fact that the light became clouded through human will is disclosed again by the fact that I reveal Myself anew, which would not be necessary if people lived in the light of truth. I truly know why I speak to people again with all urgency .... I know that they have no clear understanding of their existence as human beings either and I know why I must give them precisely this information if I want them to acknowledge the divine Redeemer Jesus Christ and recognise Me Myself in Him .... People shall acquire a clear idea about it, consequently I Myself instruct them in the most understandable way and everyone will be delighted about knowledge he recognises as purest truth, because it originated from Me directly. Even thinking people will accept this information, for I do not demand blind faith. It is My will that a person shall think about it, otherwise he will be unable to distinguish between truth and error. And because the darkness constantly increases, the light, too, will shine extraordinarily bright, and it only requires the desire for light in order to become enlightened. For truly, I Am determined by My love, wisdom and power to confront both Mine and your enemy of life, so that you will find your way out of the darkness and be able to escape his control .... Wisdom knows your state of peril, love wants to help you and power will truly use the right means for it .... And I will bless you, who voluntarily serve Me, for I do not forcibly influence people and neither can My adversary do so .... The Eternal Light reveals Itself to all those of you who want to flee the spiritual night ....

Amen

The Word-reception is an act of freewill ....

B.D. 8121 from March 10th 1962, taken from Book No. 86

I need you, My servants on earth .... For I cannot compel people by means of extraordinary deeds to believe in a God and Creator if they do not yet possess this belief. And were I to speak audibly to people from above you would lose your freedom of will, they would have to believe and would only ever be under this impression and inevitably comply with My will. However, on the other hand, they need to be addressed because they suffer great spiritual hardship, and therefore I have to speak to them through a human mouth and leave it up to their free will whether they want to accept My Word or not .... I need you, and you yourselves will also understand it; you will feel My presence and know that it is your heavenly Father Who speaks to you, Who only ever stimulates you to communicate with your fellow human beings and to inform them of My extraordinary working in you .... although it is only extraordinary for those who are not yet aware of My love and mercy, which includes all people who still do not know Me and therefore do not try to find any kind of contact with Me .... And to these I want to reveal Myself as a Father Who has His children's welfare at heart; I want to reveal Myself to them as a God of love, wisdom and might .... And I need you, My servants, so that I can address people through you. For not many instruments are at My disposal because it is an act of free will to receive My Word, which also necessitates prerequisites which are not very often to be found within people. Profound faith gained through love has to stimulate them into listening within themselves .... they must consciously expect My address, hold on to it and always be willing to pass on what they receive. Only profound faith will prompt them to listen within, and I will only be able to reveal Myself, if a person makes contact with Me in this faith and allows Me to speak to him.

The fact that I so urgently require you to spread the information you receive is due to the great ignorance of those people who only live their earthly life with earthly oriented thoughts, who know and believe nothing .... nothing at all .... about the kingdom which is beyond this earth and which one day they will enter when their physical life has come to an end. They are in grave danger for they cannot cease to exist because their souls will continue to live after the death of their body. And the fate of these souls will not be a pleasant one, for they will enter the kingdom of the beyond in complete darkness, they will have to endure much suffering and pain until a small glimmer of light shines for them .... I still want to provide people with this small glimmer of light before the end. I only want to help them to establish contact with their God and Creator themselves, so that they will spend thought on Him and thus enable Me to influence their thoughts Myself .... For this reason I try to speak to them, and you shall help Me so that I can express Myself according to your willingness and that fellow human beings will receive knowledge of it .... You should allow yourselves to be taught by Me and then pass on your knowledge, but always in unchanged form, for that which originates from Me is pure truth and shall be imparted unspoilt if it is to be effective as light within the human hearts which have little light of their own. And you truly render Me a service for which I will bless you, for I love all My living creations and not one of them shall go astray for an infinitely long time again. And this is why My strength of love will flow to you time and again as long as you want to be of service to Me. I Myself will demonstrate My presence to you by the fact that you, too, will be extraordinarily affected by My revelations, for I no longer need to worry about compulsory faith with you, who testify to your faith every day by waiting for My Words and working for Me ....

Amen

God's voice will penetrate and wake people up from their careless slumber since they are, after all, in grave danger. To those who will let themselves be awakened and recognise His voice, a light will shine which will lead them out of the dark night .... But the fate of anyone who takes no notice of His voice will be determined for an infinitely long time. Yet He Who created all of you will not leave you without warning when difficulties which are intended in God's eternal plan of Salvation befall the earth .... Time and again He warns and admonishes people by speaking to them in various ways, and those who pay attention to His gentle voice when they hear it won't be frightened by the coming events, when He speaks with a voice of thunder to all who have so far closed their ears to His Words of love and mercy .... And He will speak to them through the forces of nature and no-one will be able to ignore this voice, for people will be in danger and as soon as they are afraid of losing their life they may also turn their thoughts to Him Who is mighty, Whom they acknowledge as God and Creator. And if they call upon Him they will also be saved for time and eternity .... But anyone who is still obstinate then will not be spared the dreadful fate of a renewed banishment. And not much more time will pass until all you humans are shocked by the news of a huge catastrophe, you will be paralysed by the disaster which will affect countless people .... But it has been predicted to you since the start of this earthly period because it is included in God's eternal plan of Salvation .... Yet people will never consider a natural disaster of that magnitude possible, and those who survive it will receive very clear evidence that a Higher Authority is at work, that everything of an earthly nature is transient and that every human being is at the mercy of this very Authority, if he does not establish contact with It and hand himself over to his God and Creator, appealing to Him for mercy. For He only wants to reveal Himself to people by speaking to them so distinctly that they will have to hear His voice. And by constantly drawing attention to it He only wants them to achieve a bond with Him in advance in order to then stand firm and also experience His protection when the day of dread arrives ....

However, His proclamations by seers and prophets are not believed; and although people are time and again stricken by divine interventions on a small scale .... it only ever affects the victims, while the others remain indifferent as soon as the first dismay has passed. And only little spiritual gain can be achieved. Yet all those who allow God Himself to speak to them, who believe His Words and therefore belong to His Own shall constantly be informed of the fact that this huge natural event won't take long in coming .... They shall draw strength from His Word for they will need it in order to remain steadfast and to provide comfort and clarification to their fellow human beings who suffer intense physical and spiritual adversity .... And every prayer that reaches Him will be heard by Him and He will grant strength and help to all who call upon their God and Creator in utmost distress .... And even if they have to relinquish their earthly life .... they will have found a bond with God and no longer need to fear the fate of those who are entirely devoid of faith and still belong to the one who wants to lure them into ruin. Everyone will still be given the opportunity to recognise their God and Creator and every individual person decides his own fate .... And even the most dreadful happening can be a person's path to Him, from Whose might he once emerged .... And then it will have been a blessing for him, even if countless people have to die .... They will be able to enter the kingdom of the beyond with a glimmer of light in their heart if they at last still recognise and acknowledge their God and Creator, if they call upon Him in greatest distress, Who will then indeed reveal Himself to them. You humans should believe that you are approaching this disaster which will come upon you unexpectedly and be such a distinct voice from above that everyone of good will should be able to recognise it .... And everyone will hear it, for it will be powerful and a last reminder, for the end will come soon afterwards, as it is proclaimed ....

Amen

Death is conquered .... Jesus and God is one ....

B.D. 8123 from March 12th 1962, taken from Book No. 86

You shall only take the way to the cross, and then you need fear no more death .... For you will rise again and live forever .... Jesus Christ is your redeemer from sin and death, He is the saviour Who lifts you up out of darkness; He is the one Who faced the adversary in battle and overcame him. And thus He also overcame death, which the latter brought into the world. Jesus walked the path of the cross for you and your sins, and as soon as you carry your guilt of sin to the cross, then you belong to those for whom He shed His blood, for whom He died on the cross in order to redeem your guilt of sin .... But you must be willing to let yourselves be redeemed, you must acknowledge Him as the redeemer Who became the shell of the eternal spirit of God, Who united Himself with God and thus also accomplished the act of salvation with the power of God .... For the 'power of God' is love .... The man Jesus was full of love, thus full of the divine spirit of love, through love He was intimately merged with the eternal love Itself, and thus He was one with God, or also: the eternal Deity Itself manifested Itself in Jesus, It completely filled Him, and thus the deification of Jesus' soul took place, the complete unification with the father-spirit of eternity, Who is love in Itself .... Thus God Himself accomplished the act of salvation in Jesus, God Himself redeemed people's immeasurable guilt, and everyone can now be released from his guilt who confesses Him in Jesus, who acknowledges Jesus as the divine redeemer, in Whom God Himself manifested Himself because He .... Whose fundamental substance is love .... completely filled the human being Jesus .... God thus became a human being and Jesus became God, for Jesus was merged with eternal love, Jesus and eternal love were one. Therefore, the path to God, the return to the father's house, is only guaranteed through the cross. The human being has to carry his guilt under the cross, he has to ask the Divine Love in Jesus for forgiveness, for redemption of his guilt .... And truly, the way will be free for him to the father, man will rise to life. For death is the consequence of sin, and death has been overcome by Jesus Christ, by God Himself, and the soul of man will attain eternal life and never ever lose it. The original sin of the former apostasy from God cannot be expiated by the human being himself, for he is bound by the one who brought death into the world .... he is still under the power of God's adversary, who himself fell into the deepest abyss and took countless beings with him, who followed him voluntarily but who no longer have the strength to voluntarily detach themselves from him again .... And Jesus Christ regained the strength of these beings on the cross, He gave His life for them so that their will was strengthened .... He paid the ransom through His death on the cross so that the adversary can no longer keep a being bound which seeks to escape from his power if it takes the path to the cross .... The call to Jesus Christ is enough that He places Himself between the human being and the adversary and supplies everyone with the strength to walk the path upwards towards the kingdom, which is his true home .... For now the kingdom of light is open, at the gate of which Jesus Christ Himself stands and receives everyone who only wants to come to Him and asks Him for forgiveness from all guilt. For Jesus says of Himself that everyone will live who believes in Him .... He will not taste death, he need no longer fear it, for Jesus has conquered death and He will give life to anyone who only desires Him and seeks to free himself from His adversary. Yet without Him there is no redemption, without Jesus Christ there is no forgiveness of sin, without Jesus Christ the human being remains burdened with his original sin and he will never ever find the entrance into the kingdom of light, for God's adversary will not release him and he also has power over him who once voluntarily followed him into the abyss. Therefore no man shall overlook the cross, no man shall pass by the cross .... every person should also carry his guilt under the cross and hand it over to the one Who died for the sake of humanity's guilt of sin .... Who took all suffering and torment of the act of salvation upon Himself in order to pave the way for people to the father, from Whom they once voluntarily separated and plunged into the abyss. And everyone will find redemption who calls to Jesus for mercy, for in Jesus was 'love', and love forgives all guilt .... Love gives eternal life to all who acknowledge Jesus Christ as God's son and saviour of the world .... because love itself was in Jesus ....

Amen

God wants His essence to be known ....

B.D. 8124 from March 13th 1962, taken from Book No. 86

Anyone who voluntarily gives himself to Me so that My spirit can flow into him .... who only ever desires to make contact with Me, whose spiritual spark thus unites with Me, his father-spirit of eternity, can also be certain that he is protected from adversarial influence, for I possess his will, and thus the human being's soul has also turned away from him of its own free will because it is not subject to any compulsion from My side. Hence the soul desires Me, and in this desire it opens itself to My illumination of love and is filled by My spiritual strength .... You humans should understand that this process is and has to be an act of free will and that the human being thereby also proves to Me that he has passed the test of will, that he acknowledges Me as his lord, to Whom he gives himself in all intimacy, because otherwise the bond of the spiritual spark with the eternal father-spirit would not cause Me Myself to reveal Myself to him in the word .... How could I address a person who does not open his heart and ear to Me in free will? .... How could I convey divine revelations to earth if a human being does not offer Me this opportunity himself by making himself into a receptacle into which I can now pour Myself out? .... And that it is My spirit Which now expresses Itself can truly be recognized by the content of My revelations, for it is only ever love which I preach .... it is only ever the crowning work of love which Jesus Christ accomplished in order to redeem people .... which I bring to your attention through My revelations. And if My spirit can therefore be effective in a person, then the person himself will also be enlightened, and he will know that he is instructed by the eternal truth itself and that he therefore also has every right to use the spiritual knowledge which has been and still is conveyed to him directly by Me. Anyone who appreciates My greater than great gift of grace will also defend it against all attacks, for this is his strength, that he has faith in Me and My fatherly love which will protect him from all untruth and which will also let him recognize at all times where the adversary is at work, even if he appears under the mask of an angel in order to mislead people .... If I can guide My word to earth I will also set up guards who protect both My word as well as My servants from hostile influence because .... where My spirit can express itself .... the fulfilment of a task is also required of Me: To spread My pure word .... to inform fellow human beings of My will and especially of My nature, which is no longer properly recognized but which people should get to know because I court their love, which, however, can only demand a most perfect nature .... But you humans no longer recognize Me and My nature, you have received a wrong image of Me through much error, I have been portrayed to you humans as an angry God, as a punishing judge Who only ever condemns and Whom people therefore only fear but cannot love .... I therefore reveal Myself to you as a God of love, wisdom and might .... and I want those whom I can address through the spirit to testify of Me, that they confess Me Myself with fervour and guide truthful knowledge everywhere, so that it will become light in people's hearts and their souls will also turn to Me in love, because then they will turn away from My adversary and thus also have passed their test of will for the purpose of which they dwell on earth .... And therefore I will also not tolerate that you are hindered in your work of love .... Time and again I will speak to you, time and again My spirit will work in you and give you delicious spiritual knowledge. And you can truly believe that I Myself can only be present in you when you have prepared a dwelling place for Me .... You can believe that I am within you when I speak to you and that I also help you in every way to gain victory over the substances of the body which, because they are still immature, sometimes cause you problems. Yet My radiance of love will also touch this spiritual substance and also bring about its maturation .... For your will belongs to Me .... And thus you are Mine and I will never ever leave you in My adversary's hands .... And even if he keeps running against you, even if he keeps trying to make you waver in your faith .... My love will hold you because your free will belongs to Me ....

Amen

The knowledge of the nature of God is necessary ....

B.D. 8125 from March 14th 1962, taken from Book No. 86

Great is the power of Him who created you .... His love is endless and His wisdom unsurpassable .... Always remember Him so that you make contact with Him yourselves, so that you always send your thoughts out to Me, Who longs for your return and truly also uses My power, love and wisdom to enable this return to Me. If you humans imagine your God and creator as a supremely perfect being, if you can believe with conviction that this supremely perfect being wants to be your father, then you will also give up your inner resistance which kept you separated from Me for an infinitely long time .... you will try to establish the right relationship with Me, the relationship of a child with its father .... and as weak little children you will appeal for My protection and My help when you are in need .... But you will also feel love for Me, you will trustingly come to your father and thus also hand yourselves over to Me, and then you will no longer want to give Me up either, because I Myself now hold you, because My bond of love embraces you, which you will no longer loosen either. But this requires the knowledge of My supremely perfect nature .... You shall learn to love Me and therefore you must first know that I Myself am love; you should not fear Me as a punishing God but love Me as a faithful, caring father .... Only then will you enter into the right relationship with Me, you will voluntarily give yourselves to Me and you will have completed the return which is the purpose and goal of your earthly life .... And therefore I seek to prove My power, My love and My wisdom to you humans time and again .... If you get into trouble I will always lead you out of it, because nothing is impossible for Me to achieve .... And I also constantly send you evidence of My love by also preparing joys for you which you should always consider as a gift from Me .... You can always know that you are safe in My care, for I truly recognize what you need spiritually and physically, and I will also give it to you as soon as you have surrendered to Me, as soon as you establish the bond with Me through heartfelt thoughts, through prayer and loving activity .... And then you will constantly be allowed to experience evidence of My love, wisdom and might, because I only want to gain your love through this, because I want to awaken in you the desire for union with Me and then your purpose of earthly life will also be fulfilled as soon as you establish the intimate bond with Me .... As soon as you devote yourselves as children to the father and completely merge into His will. Then you will no longer live in spiritual darkness, you will be permeated by Me Myself with My light of love, I will be able to speak to you in a heartfelt bond and your love will become increasingly more inflamed and there will be no more darkness in your hearts. As soon as you recognize Me as a God of love, wisdom and might, you will also strive towards Me, and this means that you will also acknowledge Me to Whom you once refused your acknowledgement .... And therefore I will leave no stone unturned during your earthly life in order to give you the right clarification about My nature .... For as long as you do not recognize Me for what I am: as a supremely perfect being Who loves you and wants to win your love .... as long as you do not see in Me your father, Who wants to make His children eternally happy .... as long as you keep yourselves distant from Me .... and that is why I reveal Myself to you in My love, wisdom and power .... and I constantly court your love .... But I will also win it one day, and then you will remain with Me forever ....

Amen

Disciples of the end times .... Gifts of grace .... Evaluation ....

B.D. 8126 from March 15th 1962, taken from Book No. 86

I still pour out an abundance of gifts of grace before the end because humanity takes Me, which does not rightly recognize its purpose of earthly life and is in danger of having put earthly life behind it in vain when the end has come .... For until the end I seek to save and to help the erring souls .... and until the end I will therefore also still address people and send them much bread from heaven, I will provide them with the water of life until the end, which constantly flows forth from My source. But I will also constantly ensure that My gifts of grace can be received by you humans, for which I therefore need mediators .... vessels into which My pure water of life can flow .... And thus these are My disciples of the last days whom I send out into the world again; they are My representatives on earth who spread My gospel, who proclaim My divine teaching of love to people, who give them the bread of heaven, the water of life, so that all people can refresh and strengthen themselves for their pilgrimage on this earth. And even if My adversary rages, whether he acts with cunning and treachery against Me and My own .... He need not be feared by those who accept the water of life at My source, who allow themselves to be fed and watered by Me Myself, for they are protected from his attacks by their close bond with Me, and they need only ever remain in this heartfelt bond with Me in order to constantly enjoy My protection as well. I pour out My graces in abundance .... Yet the acceptance of the graces is up to you humans .... Although I see that many strive towards the abyss, I nevertheless cannot necessarily turn their will towards Me, I can only ever admonish and warn them, I can only send My messengers to them and inform them of what is about to happen to all of you .... But I must leave you complete freedom, whichever path you want to take. Yet as long as you humans still walk across the earth every single one will be pursued by My love and everything will be tried to change his mind if he is not rightly directed .... And no human being will need to do without My gift of grace if only he is willing to accept it. For the graces can only become effective when the human being's free will accepts and evaluates them. But they are available to you unmeasured. And time will quickly rush by; people don't want to believe in an end either, they allow themselves to be captivated by the world and all their thoughts and aspirations are directed towards earthly goods and pleasures, for My adversary truly knows how to attractively present everything to them which makes them turn away from Me, their God and creator .... They pay far more attention to him than to My messengers who bring them My gospel, My pure word from above, which is constantly conveyed down to earth as the greatest gift of grace, which would truly be able to change all of you if only you would all gratefully accept it from My hand .... For as soon as I Myself can address you, you will be illuminated by My strength of love which kindles bright light in you, and your thinking would change and only be directed towards Me. Yet your free will must allow Me to speak to you .... You must open your hearts of your own free will and let My light of love shine into them .... You can only become blessed by grace .... You are of such a nature that you could not undertake an ascent by your own strength, but with recourse to My graces you would succeed .... And if you listened to Me voluntarily you would also be pointed to the immeasurable treasure of grace which the divine redeemer Jesus Christ .... Whom I Myself purchased for you on the cross, for I Myself accomplished the act of salvation in Him. And all of you may now make use of the blessings which I acquired for you through My death on the cross, which I suffered as redemption for your great guilt of sin. A great treasure of grace is at your disposal .... use it, open yourselves to My supply of grace and make use of it, and truly, you will become free from your adversary, you will ascend from the depths to the height .... Call upon Me for grace and mercy, always ask for the supply of grace, and then you will also demonstrate the will to make use of grace, and truly, you will no longer need to fear the end, for you will enter into eternal life, you will enter into light and bliss ....

Amen

Primordial centre of light and power ....

B.D. 8127 from March 17th 1962, taken from Book No. 86

The greatest spirit of infinity, the creator of heaven and earth, the primordial centre of light and power, reveals Himself to you humans because He loves you .... because you are power that once emanated from Him, which were radiated out as beings and .... since they had free will .... took a wrong path which led them far away from their place of origin .... But this greatest and most perfect spirit is love in its fundamental substance, and love lets nothing get lost .... You humans can indeed live an independent life on earth, you can also think; but you are without knowledge of all spiritual correlations, you are without knowledge of your relationship to this most perfect spirit, to your God and creator from eternity .... And in His greater than great love for all His creatures He reveals Himself to them as soon as they walk across the earth as I-conscious beings, and He stimulates them to think .... He addresses people directly .... The greatest Spirit of infinity bends down to His creatures, which were emitted by Him as the tiniest sparks of light eternally ago .... For these creatures have lost their light, they had voluntarily turned away from Him and strived towards darkness .... But truthful information can be given to the human being if he is willing to receive divine revelations, if he is willing to listen to what the greatest and most perfect spirit of infinity wants to impart to him. And then you will truly also receive a portrayal from this supremely perfect being which will inwardly urge you to seek contact with Him, and you will learn to understand the meaning and purpose of your earthly life, you will be introduced to profound knowledge, because only your free will is necessary for this, to join that perfect being Which you recognize as your origin as soon as the light of truth is kindled in you .... And every divine revelation is such a light from above which enlightens your hearts and brings back to you the lost knowledge you possessed when you yourselves still radiated as a spark of light in His presence .... Once you were close to Him but you could not see Him because you would have passed away in the face of the primal light and the primal power which made you arise .... (17.3.1962) And now He is close to you, and even if you are unable to see Him, He nevertheless reveals Himself to you because He wants you to recognize Him. For He takes pity on your wretched situation and wants to help you to beatitude .... You humans are addressed by Him, the most perfect being, of Whom you have no idea because He is everything in everything .... because there is nothing which does not testify to Himself .... because everything is strength from Him, the eternal source of strength and light. You were once emanated as the tiniest spark and yet the most perfect being concerns Itself with every one of Its creatures, for incessant love unites It with it, and this love expresses itself to the human being by revealing Itself, so that the human being takes cognizance of his original relationship with that great spirit of infinity .... so that he himself may seek to join Him, so that he may return to his origin .... Man has the ability to be able to think, and therefore God reveals Himself, for man shall come to terms with a knowledge which is imparted to him directly by God .... He kindles a light for the human being who still dwells in darkness as long as he is still completely without knowledge about himself, about his beginning and his goal .... He takes pity on His creature that it walks in darkness, for in this darkness it is also unable to recognize its creator, Who is love from eternity .... But if it recognizes its creator, Who also wants to be its father, then it will also show Him love .... And therefore this supremely perfect being reveals Himself to people in order to inspire them to love, which will ignite in them as soon as only a small light shines for them, which informs them of their original beginning and their purpose on earth .... In God's love the created being took its origin .... God's love pursues His created being until it returns to the eternal love again in order to be ineffably blissful in union with It ....

Amen

Faith in God's presence ....

B.D. 8128 from March 18th 1962, taken from Book No. 86

I Am present to you as soon as you make contact with Me in spirit and in truth .... But you humans still search for Me in the distance; only a few hand themselves over to Me like a child and thereby establish the right relationship with Me .... The majority of people certainly speaks about a God and Creator, they believe in an exceedingly powerful Being, but they also deem this Being to be infinitely far away; they don't know that I would like to be in contact with them as their God and Creator and that they need only establish this contact, because they distanced themselves from Me and thus they must also strive towards Me again. But neither are they capable of heartfelt prayer , that is, of communicating with Me in spirit and in truth, or even just of sending a sincerely felt call from the heart to Me. They merely use memorised prayers which are of no value to Me, which I do not hear and therefore cannot grant either .... I want to be called upon in spirit and in truth, I want that heartfelt thoughts ascend to Me which will induce Me to lean down to the petitioner, to draw close and be present to him .... Yet blessed are those who have already established this heartfelt bond and through a prayer in spirit and truth motivate Me to be present to them, to whom I therefore can also speak, in thought or audibly, if their state of maturity allows for it. You should only yearn for and allow My presence, for My presence also necessitates a purified heart which love has prepared for Me as an abode in which I Myself can dwell .... But if you humans believe in a God with Whom you can make contact, your way of life will also be a life of love otherwise you would not have this faith .... For faith will only come alive through love .... Humanity, however, is devoid of all love, love has grown cold amongst people .... This is why a living faith is only rarely to be found, a faith which seeks Me and motivates a person to make contact with Me, for love is already the bond with Me, the human being draws Me close to himself and induces Me to be present .... And thus love alone determines the relationship between the human being and Me. Where love is kindled in the heart, a gentle inner urging to reach Me can already be felt .... Consequently, the loving person will also pray in spirit and in truth, for the love within establishes the connection with the Eternal Love .... with Me, Who can then be present to him. And once I Am present I can also speak to him, I can guide his thoughts, I can grant him a wealth of thoughts which he can only receive from Me directly .... I Myself can work in him, as I have promised .... However, My presence is always essential, only kind-hearted activity will motivate Me to be present to him.

But how far have people distanced themselves from Me as a result of their heartless life .... They cannot recognise Me because they are still spiritually unenlightened and thus make it impossible for Me to take direct effect in them through mental communications, for they cannot hear My Words in their distance to God and even if their fellow human beings informed them they wouldn't understand .... It is also difficult to make them believe in a God Who wants to be their Father, Who wants to give pleasure to them as children if they look for this bond with Him .... They cannot believe because they have no love within themselves which would awaken the faith in the first place. Therefore they will not be capable of praying in spirit and in truth .... unless great adversity overwhelms them and they call upon the powerful Creator of Heaven and Earth, Who also created them .... And if such a call comes from the heart I will hear and grant it .... Nevertheless, only I know the heart of every individual person, and only I know whether earthly help is a blessing for him or whether a premature recall into the kingdom of the beyond is more favourable for the soul which can no longer find Me on earth ....

Amen

The power of the divine spirit ....

B.D. 8129 from March 19th 1962, taken from Book No. 86

The spiritual current that flows to you truly has great power .... For it comes from the kingdom of perfection, it comes from Me Myself, the most perfect spirit in infinity .... Only it cannot touch you in all its power, because then you would perish .... But the current comes from Me even if you only feel a very minimal effect; and it affects the soul even if the body cannot feel any effect at all. For then it is My will that it remains untouched by it. But the soul is strengthened, and the human being himself has proof of the effect of the flow of strength in his hands: He hears My word and writes it down so that he can also provide his fellow human beings with the evidence that he has been affected by My flow of spirit .... Oh, you humans, you do not grasp the infinite love of your father, the most perfect being in infinity .... that He gives you a sign of His presence, of His working and His being, Which also unites with His creature and supplies it with delicious gifts of grace. You do not grasp this love and My working is therefore not conspicuously recognizable because I do not want to put the human being into a state of compulsion due to free will .... into a state of increased bliss, which the body also feels pleasantly .... For such a state of bliss would then always cause the human being to serve Me as a vessel for My flow of spirit .... which, however, would never help the soul to progress, which has to offer itself to Me of its own free will to receive My word, the flow of light and strength which originates from the primary source of light and strength. I can only touch the human being very gently, and I have to restrict the effect of My flow of love for the human being's own sake so that his soul will not suffer any harm .... And therefore I don't have an unusual effect on the body either, I have to leave it in its weakness but it, too, will be sustained by My strength as long as I need it for a flow of spirit which has to flow to earth, because people need a living water by which their souls shall recover. And if My working on you were to manifest itself in a completely unusual way so that it would also be recognizable to fellow human beings, they would be under a compulsion of faith which would not benefit their souls .... But My flow of light and strength nevertheless flows into you and does not fail to have an effect, even if you yourselves are only quietly touched by it. I open up a spring from which the water of life flows, at which you and also your fellow human beings can refresh and strengthen yourselves, and this spring will not run dry as long as you yourselves are willing to serve Me as a vessel so that I can let My flow of spirit flow into it. Your father's love for His children is never-ending, for you emerged from this love .... This fatherly love knows you humans in great adversity and therefore wants to help you .... Your father also knows how He can best help you:... Because you lack light and strength He seeks to supply you with them. But everything must proceed within the framework of the lawful order .... I cannot arbitrarily give people knowledge and supernatural strength .... but I can open up a well, which in turn is only possible if a person of his own free will serves Me as a vessel which I can now fill and which can also be used again by anyone who wants to accept My gift of grace .... And this vessel cannot be induced into its service for Me by the fact that it itself unusually feels the effect of My flow of grace. I require complete devotion to Me of its own free will, only out of love for Me and for the neighbour who is to be helped .... I require a willingness for Me which is completely unselfish. But I will also reward such willingness, only differently than people expect. Yet I will not deny My strength to anyone who only sincerely asks Me for it. But the soul will always receive strength when My flow of spirit flows to earth, for it will never remain without effect. And when the time has come I will also emerge unusually, and My strength will be mighty in the weak .... But then I will pursue a purpose, because in My wisdom I recognize how and where people can still be helped whose faith is still weak but whom I don't want to lose to My adversary .... For truly no thing is impossible for Me .... And I will prove Myself to you as a loving father when the time has come for you to call to Me for help in greatest need .... Then I will be present to all who only believe in Me alive ....

Amen

Earth renewal ....

B.D. 8130 from March 20th 1962, taken from Book No. 86

A renewal of the earth is inevitable .... for everything has gone out of order, people themselves are in a completely disenchanted state, and they also make it difficult for the spiritual being bound in the works of creation to develop upwards, for their addiction to matter often determines them to actions which signify the premature destruction of works of creation .... But people themselves constantly violate divine order because they completely disregard the principle of love, which, however, is the epitome of divine order. They are only concerned about their physical well-being, therefore all their thoughts and aspirations only apply to matter, they only apply to earthly goods and worldly pleasures. They are in no way aware of the actual purpose of earthly life, and therefore this life remains an idle one which will have serious consequences if people do not change and take a different path. Thus there is little prospect that people will change and allow themselves to be convinced of their spiritual low ..... Even severe strokes of fate or world events are unable to induce them to change their thinking, and they do not listen to the reproaches of fellow human beings who would like to help them out of the night of the spirit, for they believe nothing .... And such a state cannot remain, because the earth is intended to serve as a maturing station for the spiritual, which is on the path of return to God .... Therefore it will also remain as such, but a purification has to take place; everything has to be reclassified again; everything spiritual has to be reorganized .... from hard matter up to the human being .... must again be given the opportunity to serve, because only through service can the spiritual develop upwards and finally be redeemed from all forms .... And therein lies the overthrow of divine order, that the spiritual is increasingly deprived of the opportunity to serve .... This is the violation of divine order, that people also lack all love which presupposes 'service' and that they also often make it impossible for matter to be of service by collecting earthly goods and enjoying their possession which, however, are never allowed to fulfil their purpose and therefore the time of their development is prolonged, which causes the bound spiritual being agony. And thus people are also overly self-loving, they only think of themselves and the fulfilment of their desires .... they are in completely wrong love, they only ever seek union with things which belong to the world. Their love is a false love which only ever wants to take but never to give .... The right kind of love has grown cold amongst people, and this is a spiritual low which makes a life on earth unsuccessful, which completely contradicts divine order and necessitates the dissolution of the earth's creations, during which the human race will also perish because it has not made use of its earthly life, thus it has completely failed in its last test of earthly life. People themselves bring about the end of the earth's existence in its old form, people themselves, through their wrong will and their spiritual low, also determine the time of the end, which has been foreseen by God since eternity .... And since not only people but also the earth's creations are affected by people's wrong will and thinking, the dissolution of these earthly creations has also become necessary, and the consequence is a total transformation of the entire earth's surface, whereby every living being will be affected .... but will also be begotten again through God's love into the form on the new earth which corresponds to its spiritual state of maturity .... Order will be established on the new earth again, for everything has to progress in its development .... and the human being's soul, which has failed, must also be given renewed opportunities of ascent, which, however, requires dissolution and a new banishment into solid matter and is therefore to be feared. For every human being still has the opportunity to change if only the slightest will is in him to fulfil his purpose of earthly life. Then he will be assisted in every way in order to protect his soul from this new banishment .... And therefore people will be informed time and again of the occasion and significance of the end of this earth, and world events can also have a favourable effect on people's thoughts .... But the human being's will cannot be forced, he must think of his own free will and seek contact with the creator of heaven and earth .... And he will never be left without help, for God wants people to attain eternal life, but not to lose life again for an infinitely long time ....

The passion of Jesus as a human being ....

B.D. 8131 from March 21st 1962, taken from Book No. 86

As Jesus, the human being, the passage across earth was also very difficult for Me, for My soul had descended from the kingdom of light to the depth .... it had entered a sphere which could only cause it torment, for it was the realm of Lucifer, the first-fallen spirit .... It was a realm of darkness, sin and death. And only the love blazing within Me made life bearable for Me, for this love recognized fellow human beings' appalling fate and sought to help them .... And every love which wants to help takes effect as strength, so that I thus had unusual strength at My disposal and was able to use it for the benefit of My fellow human beings .... I was pure and sinless and found Myself in the midst of sin .... And My soul suffered unspeakably because everything sinful also affected the body .... because weaknesses and cravings afflicted the body and the soul had to fight with them in order not to succumb to them. I was approached by great temptations, for Lucifer knew of My plan to release the beings which had fallen away from God from his control and to return them to the father again. And he truly tried and did everything by which he believed he could bring Me Myself to fall. He was a great challenge to Me in My struggle for the complete spiritualisation of My soul, which wanted to unite with divine love in order to be filled with strength to accomplish the act of salvation, which could only be acquired through love. It was probably the heaviest fate a human being has borne who walked across this earth .... For I also knew about My task when the unification with the father-spirit had taken place in Me .... I knew about the dreadful path of suffering I had to take, I knew about the path of the cross which My dying on the cross ended .... I knew everything beforehand and yet I walked this path consciously and of My own free will because My love was so great for suffering humanity, which would have been lost for eternity without My act of salvation .... For no human being was able to redeem even the grave sin of the former apostasy from God, because this apostasy took place in brightest realization of what the being had done .... It was not a sin out of weakness, it was a completely conscious rebellion against God against better knowledge .... Yet humanity took pity on Me, for I recognized all correlations and therefore also the impossibility of ever returning to the light again unless a work of love was accomplished through which the overwhelming guilt was redeemed .... If I as a human being had not gained this realization, which was the result of My great love, then I would not have been able to muster the will for this superhuman path of suffering either .... But only a sacrifice in a completely free will of love was accepted by the father as a work of atonement .... And so I consciously took the path to the cross, consciously took upon Myself an earthly lot that only the love in Me could endure .... And I endured to the end .... No human being can measure the suffering and torment a pure soul had to endure from above, but I constantly received strength because I remained in the most intimate bond with the father, because I requested His love and also received it without limitation .... And thus time and again the explanation is given to you that 'love' offered the sacrifice on the cross, that the 'love' which completely filled Me was the father-spirit Himself from eternity .... that He Himself redeemed the world from sin and death, with Whom I completely united Myself, because 'love' took abode in the human being Jesus, in a human shell which was able and willing to suffer, because the spirit of infinity was unable to suffer but He was able to completely radiate through a form and thus He Himself and the radiated form were now one .... The earthly walk as the man Jesus was exceedingly difficult, but it brought the 'man' Jesus full union with Me, it brought Him the deification of His soul .... And the man Jesus achieved the goal on earth which all people should reach: to unite with the father-spirit of eternity, which they are also able to do because they have help in the divine redeemer Jesus Christ, Who takes the burden of the original sin from them when it is carried under the cross and Who then will also strengthen their will to achieve complete unification, the union with Me, the father-spirit of eternity .... For this is why the man Jesus died on the cross, so that people can now find redemption from sin and death ....

"Come to Me ...." Words in hardship ....

B.D. 8132 from March 22nd 1962, taken from Book No. 86

You shall all be comforted who are weary and burdened if only you come to Me and call upon Me in your distress. I want to prove Myself to you as a loving father and provide you with physical and spiritual strength, because you are all still weak little children in need of help whom I therefore call to Me with merciful love. I am truly only concerned about your bliss, but you can only find it in unity with Me, and therefore I say: come to Me .... For only I can help you to become blissfully happy, only I can fill you with strength to live according to My will .... only I can illuminate you with My strength of love, which makes you blissfully happy and helps you to attain perfection. Therefore come to Me, you who are weary and burdened, I will refresh you. For I can speak to you and My word will truly impart strength to you, My word will give you peace because then you will be certain that I Myself am close to you when I speak to you. So why are you timid and fearful when you have the certainty that I am present to you? And yet you possess evidence of My presence if you are allowed to hear My word again and again which introduces you to all truth .... Although the world is storming you and makes you anxious and despondent, yet you are under My protection and need not fear any harm as long as you let Me Myself be present in you .... as long as you voluntarily want to serve Me as a vessel into which I can pour My spirit. It is such an important mission you have to fulfil that I truly grant you every protection and that I give you strength to repel everything from you which could hold you back from this mission .... I Myself stand behind you and thus I Myself am the best fighter for you .... I only want you to establish an ever firmer bond with Me, so that I can be present to you at all times, so that you turn your thoughts to Me daily and hourly .... For this is necessary for the task you have voluntarily offered to fulfil .... The time is coming to an end and there must be no slackness, you must not tire and remain inactive .... you should serve Me with all zeal and willingness, for only this voluntary work is a blessing .... for yourselves and for your fellow human beings who need strength or shall find their way to Me, whom I want to address through you. And therefore you are repeatedly urged by Me to work in My vineyard. But My adversary also tries to intervene and hinder you, and time and again you will be subject to disturbances, time and again you will be disturbed, and then you should only take refuge with Me Who will help you in every adversity of body and soul. The end time is not a time of rest .... It will be a constant struggle with the adversary, for he will always find a way to throw you into confusion .... But you will always be able to resist him, because you only need to come to Me, Who will truly 'refresh and refresh you', as I have promised .... therefore always keep My promise, for you will not send a call to Me in vain who ascends in spirit and truth .... For as long as you let Me speak to you, you receive strength from Me directly, and you also open your heart to My illumination of love, and then the adversary must depart from you because he flees the ray of love light. "Ask and it will be given to you .... knock and it will be opened to you." You think far too little of this promise of Mine, otherwise you would never need to fear or worry, for I take over every worry for you who serve Me, and I constantly provide you with strength. Give yourselves to Me and let Me rule, then you will belong to My own whom I will not abandon in their adversity, whom I will help earthly and spiritually, as I have promised ....

Amen

Spiritualization of immature substances ....

B.D. 8133 from March 23rd 1962, taken from Book No. 86

All sufferings and hardships of the body contribute to the spiritualisation of the still immature substances. Therefore you should bear everything with surrender, for it is only for the salvation of your soul. Your body still carries much immature spiritual substance within itself, for all matter is a carrier of spiritual substances which are still in the early stages of their development. And it is certainly possible for you to spiritualize the substances of the body during your earthly life so that they can join the soul and pass over into the kingdom of the beyond at the end of your physical life. Yet only rarely does a person succeed in this full spiritualization, because it presupposes a life of love which requires the complete abandonment of the ego and only rarely does a person reach this high degree of love on earth. Yet much is already gained when the body submits to the will of the soul, which allows itself to be determined by the spirit within to want, think and act .... And if the body also submits to the spirit's desire, so that it complies with the soul's desire, then the body's substances will also become spiritualized .... especially when illness and suffering affect this unspiritual substance and it becomes increasingly purified .... which is why a certain blessing rests on such states of the body which sometimes cause it pain .... Time and again unspiritual urges are thereby repelled and the soul crystallises more and more, and one can also speak of the spiritualization of the body, even if this does not yet happen completely during earthly life. Yet believe that every illness and every suffering will have a favourable effect on your soul if you don't rebel against fate .... if you humbly bear your fate, which was never imposed on you without purpose. You will not be able to deny that the body still has immature substances and thus these substances will always cause you pain; and only rarely will a person succeed in establishing complete order within himself, even though this is the actual task in earthly life .... But he is and remains weak, and the most intimate connection with the source of strength from eternity is necessary for this .... i.e., the human being must be so filled with love that the eternal love Itself is constantly in him .... because then he will have a measure of strength at his disposal which will also enable him to succeed in the spiritualization of all substances oppressing the body. Yet the human being can already consider himself fortunate if he succeeds in purifying his soul during earthly life so that it can be permeated by the divine light of love, so that it is receptive to light when it enters the kingdom of the beyond. And this purification of the soul is also achieved through suffering and illness if love is not so brightly kindled that it brings about the maturing of the soul. Therefore you humans should not complain and grumble even if you are physically burdened, for everything only serves you towards perfection .... And a soul's degree of light can vary so much on its entry into the kingdom of the beyond .... And every suffering on earth contributes to the increase of the degree of light, provided that the human being himself strives to attain maturity of soul, that he seriously strives for perfection .... And therefore you should also be grateful for the suffering and not believe that you have to endure it as punishment. It is only a means of purification, for the fact that there are still unfaithful substances in you is already rooted in your physical outer shell, which consists of immature spiritual substances .... But this spiritual substance can also develop more quickly, it can reach maturity more quickly precisely through such purification means. And one day you will also recognize the blessing of what was imposed on you in earthly life .... And you will only be grateful for the loving care which you will also recognize in it. For one day the light will shine for you and you will forget all adversity which lies behind you .... and you will be blissfully happy in the light ....

Amen

Love imparts realisation ....

B.D. 8134 from March 24th 1962, taken from Book No. 86

I want to speak to you so that you will gain knowledge which corresponds to the truth and according to this knowledge learn to look upon your whole earthly life with entirely different eyes .... so that you will subsequently live it in full awareness of your connection with Me and prepare yourselves to continuously receive strength .... For you humans are weak as long as you don't lay claim to My influx of strength. Although the energy of life is at your disposal, you nevertheless do not use it according to My will, so that you, at best, at the end of your life will have gathered earthly possessions which you must leave behind when the hour of death arrives .... If, however, you live according to My will then you will be able to use your vital energy to acquire permanent possessions as well which will follow you into the spiritual kingdom. Through constant contact with Me you can also acquire spiritual strength, and only then will you accomplish your actual purpose of earthly life. And thus I want to impart the knowledge of this to you, because you will continue to lack realisation as long as you lack love .... as long as you do not accomplish labours of love although your energy of life enables you to do so .... Hence it is My will that you make an effort to live a life of love .... Then you will gather spiritual wealth and kindle a light in yourselves which signifies realisation for you .... knowledge, which corresponds to the truth. Then you will also establish the connection with Me and strength can be conveyed to you directly, and you will cover the path of ascent, you will strive towards attaining perfection and reach the goal, which is the purpose of your earthly life. But as long as you are entirely without knowledge, you are spiritually blind and only live for this earth. You are entirely earthly minded and only use the earthly vitality of life purely for your body's well-being but fail to consider your soul. The body, however, is transient, whereas the soul cannot cease to exist, and you should take care of your soul's fate .... It needs strength, and it can only receive it from you if you accomplish loving deeds, if you unite with Me in heartfelt prayer, if you enable Me to convey strength to you directly: if you allow Me Myself to speak to you ....

Then you will receive a measure of strength which enables you to live in the right way on this earth. The direct Word is a direct transfer of strength of utmost significance; therefore, I will always be willing to speak to you, because you all need much strength, because all of you practice too little love and consequently only receive a modest influx of strength of love .... But I want to stimulate you to love, I want to instruct you in all truthfulness what you should do on earth in order to become as blissfully happy as you were in the beginning .... I want to kindle a light in you because you walk in darkness, yet you must be willing to accept the light; you must voluntarily open yourselves to listen to My Word and you will always do so if you, who don't hear Me directly, willingly listen to My messengers who impart My Words to you. Then your willingness to listen to Me will be a great blessing for you, for the strength will flow into you since My Word is blessed with My strength .... And the light in you will increase in radiance the more often you offer Me the opportunity to address you. Your knowledge will grow and you will feel that it is true what is imparted to you. For only truth has the strength to guide you towards perfection. And if you want to gain possession of the truth, then you must hand yourselves over to Me Myself, the Eternal Truth .... You must unite with Me in prayer or through kind-hearted activity and always keep your will directed towards Me .... And you will be imbued with truthful knowledge, I Myself gave you the promise that I will guide you into truth .... that I will send you My spirit .... that I Myself will remain with you until the end .... And where I Am, there is truth .... where I Am, there is love, and where I Am, there is also the Source of strength of eternity .... Therefore, you should only ever yearn for My proximity, My presence, and truly, you will not go without, you will not have lived your earthly life in vain, you will be able to receive light and strength in abundance and, after your death, you will be able to enter the kingdom of light and beatitude ....

Amen

Reception of the pure truth requires preconditions ....

B.D. 8135 from March 25th 1962, taken from Book No. 86

I only ever endeavour to convey the pure truth to you. Yet you will often notice that the views of My own also differ from each other .... the views of those who strive towards Me, who want to belong to My own and who also unite with Me through prayer and prayer of love. But sometimes they also hold on to what they have taken over from others as truth but which cannot claim to be truth. The human being has to completely free himself from adopted spiritual knowledge and request the pure truth from Me Myself. Then he will think correctly, then he will only be encouraged in it, but he will also receive clarification where he still errs .... And again and again it has to be emphasized that the desire for truth is the first condition to stand in truth. Time and again the human being should account for whether this desire is inherent in him, and time and again he should examine the starting point of what spiritual knowledge he possesses .... And where this desire for truth is serious there will also always be the same truth which has taken its origin from Me. And this truth can only be imparted to you humans through the working of the spirit, which is why you should all make an effort to bring love within yourselves to highest development, so that My spirit can work directly in you. And then you should let yourselves be gifted by Me, put aside every preconceived opinion and only ever accept what I send to you .... You should only ever listen to what My spirit imparts to you. And you are also guaranteed to live in truth, you will eliminate every error yourselves because then you will also recognize it as error as soon as My spirit is at work .... But how few people know about this process, how few people know that the purest truth is accessible to them if only they live according to My will, that is, if they fulfil the prerequisites which require the 'working of My spirit' .... People try to gain possession of the truth intellectually, through diligent study, and they only acquire human knowledge which will never give them the certainty that it is pure truth .... But I show you the path to reach this truth. But you can never exclude Me in the process, for I, as the eternal truth, have also reserved it for Myself to convey the truth to you humans if you fulfil the conditions I have attached to the supply of pure truth: that you shape yourselves through love such that you enable the 'working of My spirit' within you .... Then I Myself will be able to convey the truth to you, and I will also do so because it is necessary that you live in truth. But most of you humans are not willing to surrender the spiritual knowledge you possess, because everyone believes to be instructed in the truth and does not want to part with it. And therefore you often set barriers yourselves which I will not break through due to free will .... But this also hinders the reception of pure truth, which requires a desire for truth and is therefore also connected with the complete surrender of what spiritual possessions the human being has .... Yet he will be all the happier when he is instructed by Me Myself and receives the spiritual knowledge again, but which he can and will now represent with conviction as pure truth. And such spiritual knowledge, which originated directly from Me, will always agree, and then you humans will also be convinced of its truth, because I Myself will give you the inner certainty through the spirit which you need in order to be able to represent the truth to your fellow human beings. But since you humans know little about such spiritual activity within you, you only ever use your intellect for help, and this will produce many different results .... You will all assume that you think correctly but you will have no inner certainty and be unable to provide evidence for it. And this is why time and again divisions will arise, this is why many different opinions are held and humanity walks along in ignorance or adopts wrong ideas when it concerns spiritual territory which cannot be fathomed in any other way than through My influence on the human being's thoughts .... through enlightenment of the spirit, which requires a life of love and conscious contact with Me. You humans could always move into truth as soon as you only make contact with the giver of truth, as soon as you seriously desire the truth from Me Myself ....

Amen

Exhortation to resist in the last days ....

B.D. 8136 from March 26th 1962, taken from Book No. 86

You can be certain that I am present to you as soon as you hear My voice .... You can believe that My spirit works in you as soon as you intimately unite with Me and desire to hear Me .... But the prerequisites must be fulfilled that you shape yourselves into a receptacle for My flow of spirit, that you have prepared your hearts for My presence. And this can only be achieved by love which then also gives birth to living faith in My working in you, otherwise you would not listen inwardly to My voice. But if you listen to My word then humility must also fill your heart, for I only grant My grace to the humble, and My word is a gift of grace of unheard-of significance. But then you can also be convinced that you are living in truth, for what I say to you directly is truth because it originates from the giver of truth, from the eternal truth Itself. And thus always regard yourselves as My servants who will only ever want, think and act in accordance with My will, for you could not be receptacles of My divine spirit if you had not offered yourselves to Me for service in free will and thus fully consciously bestowed your will upon Me, who thus turned to Me and you thus passed the test of will on earth and you are on the path of return and have already shortly arrived at your goal. How else, then, shall I confirm your mission to you, which you have voluntarily offered yourselves to Me to fulfil? I was able to choose you for this mission because all prerequisites were present and I want you to complete your mission and not let yourselves be held back in any way, for it is important and I did not arbitrarily choose strong-willed servants for Myself who will withstand all onslaughts from My adversary. He truly does not shy away from any means if he hopes to thereby extinguish the light which shines brightly down to earth .... Therefore, don't become fickle in your faith to be true servants to Me, but only hold on to Me and the tempter will leave when he sees that his plans and intentions are unsuccessful. Yet I also leave him fullest freedom, for it is the last time .... Soon his activity will come to an end, and until then I will also know how to protect you who consciously serve Me. Just want to be and remain Mine .... And use all your strength to work in My vineyard .... Don't let yourselves be frightened but believe and trust Me, Who will truly protect you and not abandon you to error because you earnestly desire truth. Always keep your heart open for My flow of love and constantly receive the bread of heaven, the water of life .... Let yourselves be fed and watered by Me and you will increase in strength and serve Me with joy. But do not listen to what people say to you if it does not correspond to My address .... Although I leave everyone free, for I do not force the human being's will, everyone must seriously ask himself how he relates to Me in order to think and act correctly before My eyes. And you should always establish this right relationship, and then you will also be able to be certain that you are under My protection and need not fear My adversary. Yet he will harass you until the end because he knows that he does not have much time left .... And this shall also be an explanation to you for the strangest events which will still happen but which you will always be able to ward off with My help and My strength, for I will not abandon those who are Mine and want to remain .... I give them strength to resist .... I always grant them My protection so that they can fulfil their task in My will ....

"Heaven and earth will pass away ...."

B.D. 8137 from March 28th 1962, taken from Book No. 86

It is not spiritual presumption to defend the words of the lord, for these always and forever remain pure truth as long as they are not exposed to human changes .... And thus Jesus taught on earth and conveyed His word to people .... He proclaimed the gospel of love to them, and He instructed His disciples to record His word in order to make it accessible to humanity time and again, because it is necessary that people take notice of the gospel of love, because they should know about God's will, Who sent His son to earth in order to address people through Him. This word can therefore also be defended, and in order to confirm it Jesus promised His spirit to them (people), which was to repeatedly introduce people to the truth, which was to remind them of what He Himself spoke to them when He walked on earth(s). But through the promise of His spirit, through the assurance that the spirit will guide you humans into truth, He also made provision for His word to be conveyed to people .... the pure truth .... because this will never remain pure as it came forth from Jesus, for people in their imperfection will also deface what is perfect, precisely because they are still imperfect. But He said: "Heaven and earth will pass away, but My word will endure for all eternity." .... And this results in the necessity that pure truth will always be conveyed to earth and that this will always be the same truth as it was taught by Jesus Himself on earth, and therefore His word may always be defended .... And thus it only remains to examine whether it is His word which you humans defend, who believe yourselves to be in the service of the lord .... And thus you can only adhere to His word again, you have to take Jesus' words as a touchstone .... And you can rightly hold on to the scriptures which testify of Him. You must therefore first know about the 'working of the spirit in the human being', for which you will find proof in scripture: “I will send you the comforter, the spirit of truth, who will guide you into all truth and remind you of all that I have told you." Jesus Himself made this promise as well as the promise: "I will remain with you until the end of the world." So this is also the confirmation that His work was not finished with His walk on earth and that He would constantly speak to people .... And He has promised those who believe in Him and keep His commandments that He will reveal Himself to them .... Time and again He has mentioned the working of the spirit, and when His word is now conveyed to people from above, only those promises are fulfilled which are contained in scripture, which only ever point to the fact that the father repeatedly speaks to His children who allow the 'working of His spirit' within them .... And the truth of the word, which is now conveyed to people as the 'working of the spirit', can therefore also rightly be defended, for it cannot flow from any other source than the eternal word Itself. And it must and will also coincide with the divine gospel which the man Jesus proclaimed on earth, Who had so prepared Himself that God took abode in Him, Who Himself is the word from eternity .... Who now also expressed Himself through Jesus and instructed people in all truth .... (28.3.1962) His sanctified word always and forever remains the same .... And therefore every change must be described as a human distortion of the divine word, and then it is no longer possible to speak of the pure Word of God .... This is why Jesus said: "I will send you the comforter to guide you into all truth ...." because He knew that time and again His word would be changed by human will, otherwise people would constantly move within the truth. And the transmission of pure truth could only happen through His spirit again, God Himself had to speak to people .... the eternal spirit of God had to address the spiritual spark in the human being, but this always required the willingness of the human being himself together with the prerequisites under which the human being's spirit could therefore express itself .... that God Himself therefore worked in the human being through His spirit .... "It is the Scriptures which testify of Me ...." And thus you cannot reject the scriptures as the work of men, for the most profound truth is hidden in them for the awakened human being, even if human will repeatedly results in changes which, however, the awakened spirit recognizes and will correct according to their meaning. Jesus pointed to the "working of the spirit" .... Yet the process of this has mostly remained alien to people, precisely because the prerequisites for the working of the spirit in the human being were lacking ...., just as at the time of Jesus on earth people were far removed from God and could no longer hear the voice of God within themselves because they were still under the burden of original sin, which Jesus Christ first had to eradicate in order to put people back into the state of seeking intimate contact with the father-spirit from eternity .... And thus the spirit from God will only ever be able to express itself where this expression is consciously expected. Thus the voice of the spirit will never sound in a person who does not prepare himself in any way to hear God's address .... because His voice will never exert a constraint on the human being's will. God certainly wants to reveal Himself to people at all times, yet the human being has to initiate His revelations himself through his free will and by fulfilling the conditions which are attached to the hearing of the divine word .... And he must now consciously listen within .... Then the "outpouring of the spirit" can take place, which Jesus Himself promised when He walked on earth. And so you humans must also be able to understand the delivery of pure truth from above, you must not call them 'messages from the spirit realm' .... For even such can reach you without you having attained the spiritual maturity which an 'outpouring of the spirit' requires .... You must know what it is about when the truth is conveyed to you in an unusual way .... but it only seems unusual to you because you yourselves are too little informed about the 'outpouring of the spirit', because you also don't want to acknowledge the book of books which, however, is 'the scripture which testifies of Me' .... First learn to understand this scripture, and then you will also understand why again and again My (the) pure word of God is conveyed to earth, why again and again "the comforter guides people into truth ...." For nothing maintains itself as pure as it originated from God, because time and again it is exposed to the will of people, who are still imperfect .... But time and again God will guide His word to earth so that it will be fulfilled: "Heaven and earth will pass away, but My word will endure for eternity .... “

Amen

The living faith in the work of redemption ....

B.D. 8138 from March 29th 1962, taken from Book No. 86

You humans are required to have a living faith in Jesus Christ, the son of God, Who redeemed humanity from sin and death through His sacrificial death on the cross .... And to possess a living faith in Him also means to know about the reason for His act of salvation, about the immeasurably great guilt in which all people find themselves due to their past apostasy from God. Then the human being who acknowledges Him as God's son, in Whom I was able to embody Myself, will consciously carry his guilt under the cross, i.e. he will want to belong to those for whom Jesus died on the cross, for whom He laid down His life, for whom He shed His blood. Thus he will consciously confess Jesus Christ, the divine redeemer, and consequently he will also acknowledge Me Myself, Who was in Him, Who manifested Myself in the man Jesus, because He was full of love and acknowledged Me Myself .... as the eternal love .... completely within Himself. But I speak of a living faith, for I am not satisfied with words which the mouth can say but of which the heart knows nothing. And living faith is only the result of love which has thus awakened it to life .... A person who endeavours to live in love will also have an inner bond with the one Who redeemed him from sin and death, he will devote himself to Him in this bond, he will want to belong to Him, even if he cannot intellectually assess the full depth of the greatest act of mercy a human being has accomplished on earth .... but he will know that without Jesus Christ he would be lost and doomed to eternal death .... He will know that he needs Him in order to become blessed and will want the divine redeemer's love to take hold of him, that His mercy will also include him in the circle of the redeemed .... He will hand over his burden of sin to Him and ask for His forgiveness. And it will be granted to him .... The stream of grace will never run dry, which is available to every human being, for Jesus acquired a treasure of grace for humanity through His agonising death on the cross .... And He paid with His blood the purchase price for all souls who once voluntarily followed the adversary into the abyss and were therefore his share .... And this means that the human being should only take refuge under the cross of his own free will and ask Jesus for forgiveness of his guilt and for help against the adversary .... And the latter has now lost his right to that person because his guilt has been redeemed, because Jesus sacrificed Himself on the cross for all souls which long to return to Him again and were held captive by the adversary .... until His death on the cross .... Then the adversary's power was broken, but only ever for those people who wanted to escape from him and called upon Him for help. It was an exceedingly great work of love .... But love was in the man Jesus, and this love was I Myself .... Time and again I try to make this great work of mercy understandable to you humans, and time and again I Myself enlighten you about the correlations, about the occasion of Jesus' descent, about His earthly life and about your former grave sin of apostasy from Me .... Only when you know about the great guilt of sin you are burdened with as earthly people can you also understand the mission of the man Jesus, and only then can you consciously take a stand on the act of salvation as well as on Himself, Who sheltered Me in all fullness within Himself. You must also know about My fundamental nature, Which you may not imagine as a limited form, and you must know that this very nature chose a form for Itself and completely fulfilled it .... that therefore the man Jesus was this form and that the whole fullness of the Deity was in Him .... And when you understand this, then you also understand that and why you must acknowledge Him as redeemer of the world .... Only then will you understand the greatness of His sacrifice, that He walked the path of suffering as a human being and suffered death on the cross as a human being .... And then you will also glow with love for Him, you will give yourselves to Him and want to belong to Him for time and eternity .... And you will learn to understand the depth of His work of mercy more and more, the more love flares up in you too .... And then you can also be certain of the forgiveness of all guilt, for this is why He died as a human being on the cross, so that all guilt was redeemed .... that all people find redemption who want redemption themselves and ask Him for it ....

Amen

"Take up your cross ...."

B.D. 8139 from March 30th 1962, taken from Book No. 86

I am the father of all of you, and everything that happens or is allowed to happen is evidence of My greater than great love for His children, and it serves you towards perfection. But you can always ask Me to help you carry your cross if it seems too heavy for you .... Then call upon Me in Jesus, and then you will also take the path to the cross through your acknowledgement of the divine act of salvation which the man Jesus accomplished on earth for you .... in order to redeem your past great guilt of sin .... He is the bearer of the cross, and if you therefore call upon Me in Him, then I will gladly take the burden of the cross from you and carry it for you .... or also, I will give you strength to carry the cross yourselves, and it will not weigh so heavily upon you, the burden will become lighter, and you will walk the path of following Jesus, Who said: "Take up your cross and follow Me ...." So Jesus has already announced to you that you humans will have to carry a cross if you want to follow Him .... Yet Jesus is and remains your father from eternity, for I Myself was in Him, I Myself became a visible God for you in Him, but I am also so united with you through My human existence on earth that I understand all your hardships and that I am therefore also willing to take your cross upon My shoulders and carry it for you if it seems too heavy for you. Yet you will also constantly receive new strength, and this strength from Me is grace which I acquired for you on the cross through My death .... You therefore always draw on this strength when you pray to Me in Jesus, when you take notice of Me and My act of salvation, when you put yourselves into My suffering and death, when you believe in Me Who lived on earth in the human being Jesus and redeemed the guilt of sin for you through My death on the cross .... The influx of grace is guaranteed to you if you acknowledge Me. And this grace expresses itself in increased will, in the strength to lead your life on earth according to My will .... And even if the body is weak and wretched the soul is nevertheless touched by that strength, and this assurance shall also let you endure physical suffering and infirmity, for the body does not last but the soul is everlasting, and it gains the life which lasts forever ....

Amen

Feeding the light from above ....

B.D. 8140 from March 31th 1962, taken from Book No. 86

You can constantly receive messages from above, because My love is never spent too much .... because I Myself want to be in constant contact with you and therefore bless every hour you give Me, because your free will is necessary for Me to be able to communicate with you. But you will always receive delicious gifts even if you don't immediately recognize their value. If you consider the dark spiritual state the human being is in when he starts earthly life, then you cannot be grateful enough for the light which illuminates you inwardly, which is already a sign that you are close to your goal. And if you are enlightened, i.e. if you have already gained knowledge about your beginning and your goal, about your relationship with Me and about all spiritual correlations which affect your existence as a human being, then this also means that you have escaped My adversary's power who, as the prince of darkness, does not want to let people attain the light and therefore does everything to keep them in spiritual darkness. But you possess a light, you have freed yourselves from his power .... which does not exclude his constant attempts to win you back again and to draw you into his dark realm .... but he no longer succeeds. But he will no longer succeed as soon as you stand in the light of truth, for this will push him away time and again because he flees the light from Me. Knowledge is inexhaustible and you can constantly be permeated by My light of love .... thus constantly receive truthful knowledge which will make you happy and let you mature in your realization .... You need only turn to Me in your desire to receive this delicious gift of grace from Me, be it directly or also indirectly through My messengers .... But it has always come forth from Me Myself when My spirit could pour into an open heart .... The brighter the light now shines within you, the more you will feel urged to let it radiate out .... Anyone who receives this gift of grace from Me cannot help but pass it on, pass it on to his fellow human beings and also inform them of his knowledge .... For the light possesses a luminosity which radiates far into the night. And night is still everywhere where people are in spiritual darkness, where they lack the pure truth, for twinkling lights do not give off a glow, they cannot illuminate the human heart .... Thus knowledge cannot inspire which does not correspond to truth. My adversary, however, does not want to let the truth penetrate, he does everything in order to extinguish the light even where it is recognizable and spreads its illusion. My love, however, will truly know how to protect the light and time and again let bright light shine down to earth anew so that the darkness will be broken through and people will clearly see a path in the light which they will now also take because they know that it leads upwards towards the final goal. If I can convey My word to earth through your will then you truly possess an immeasurable treasure of grace, for everything is offered to you through My word: Light and strength .... Food and drink for your souls .... Any weakness you may have shown at the beginning of your earthly life can be taken away from you and give way to a measure of strength which will let you accomplish everything you now strive for, because you recognize why you live on earth. The sun of the spirit shines brightly for you, you slowly regain the abilities you once lost due to your apostasy from Me .... You change your nature because you receive the strength to do so through My word, and you slowly take on your original nature again .... For I show you the way, I explain everything to you, I admonish and warn you; I speak to all My children with a language of love, if only it is possible for Me to convey My word directly to earth .... And such evidence of My love can never remain ineffective .... it must lead to shaping yourselves into love and thus also to uniting with Me, which is the ultimate purpose of your change across earth .... Therefore only open your hearts to Me and catch My ray of love .... Let it become bright in you and thus also drive away the adversary who cannot tolerate light because it emanates from Me and he is and will remain My enemy for eternal times to come .... But he will not be able to oppose the light which radiates from Me, and thus he will also not be able to force you to return to his dark realm again .... For he has lost power over you because you fully consciously give Me your will, you who daily request My gift of grace and gratefully accept it from My hand .... For you then let Me be present in you, and where I am he cannot be .... where I am there is light, and there his power is broken ....

Amen

And the Word was made flesh .... '

B.D. 8141 from April 3rd 1962, taken from Book No. 86

And the Word was made flesh and lived among us ....' I Myself, the eternal Word, came to earth and became flesh .... It was an act of overwhelming love and mercy that had moved Me to make contact with the human beings who had distanced themselves from Me to a point that they were no longer able to hear My voice, that they could no longer hear My Word within themselves, and who did not have a relationship with the Word of eternity any more .... They had caused this vast distance from Me themselves, and they would never have been able to bridge this distance on their own, they would never have been able to hear My Word again such as it was in the beginning when I could communicate with all My living creations through the Word .... For this reason My love has bridged the vast distance Itself .... I Myself came to earth and became flesh and then tried to get in touch with My living creations in order to speak to them again and to build a bridge for them which would lead them back to Me into the kingdom of light and bliss ....

I Am the eternal Word Myself but I could not have spoken directly to any human being from above without placing those who once had originated from Me as free living creations into a state of compulsion. They had to cross the bridge to Me voluntarily and I could only achieve that by means of My Word which, however, should not sound extraordinary but like the spoken word between human beings. And for this reason I became flesh .... I took abode in the human cover of Jesus and spoke to people through Him .... But it was My Word which now was spoken to them, and through this Word I was able to show people the way. I was able to instruct them and tell them My will, I was able to reveal the Gospel to them, the divine teaching of love, which should once again change their souls to a state which would enable every person to hear My Word within himself if this was his sincere will .... But first humanity had to be released from sin and death. The former guilt of sin, caused by the apostasy from Me, first had to be redeemed, so that the subsequent bond with Me could be crowned by the 'pouring out of My spirit' .... so that the human being himself could hear My voice within himself again as it was in the beginning ....

'And the Word was made flesh and lived amongst us ....' Only few people understand the meaning of these words; the eternal Word came to earth Itself because humanity was in greatest difficulty, it was not aware of its wretched condition, of its lack of light, of the spiritual darkness in which it lived .... It was completely separate from Me and did nothing to reduce its vast distance from Me. The only way to help people was by means of instructions which corresponded to the truth .... They had to be informed of their God and Creator's will, and this will had to be conveyed to them by Myself .... I had to speak to them Myself and could only do so through a human being .... Thus I embodied Myself in this human being, and only in this manner was it possible to instruct people truthfully, to draw their attention to their wrong way of life, to inform them of My will and exemplify the kind of life they should lead themselves in order to escape their spiritual darkness, in order to walk the path I showed them first so that they could attain eternal life again. For they were influenced by My adversary who continuously provoked them into leading a life without love which subsequently made and kept them weak and they were not able to contribute anything towards their ascent.

I Myself provided them with the evidence that love results in strength. I healed the sick and carried out other miracles which only the strength of love could accomplish .... I also informed them about the consequences of a heartless way of life .... for I first had to explain to people why they were experiencing physical and spiritual hardship .... I had to inform them that their state as human beings could not be considered a happy one and what they therefore should do to attain beatitude .... And they had to hear all of this from the mouth of God .... They had to be able to hear My Word, and thus the Word Itself came down to earth and became flesh .... In the original state the Word sounded within every being and was the cause of inconceivable bliss .... And the beings abandoned this blissfulness themselves by voluntarily distancing themselves from Me and thus could not hear My Word any longer, because this Word was a direct emanation of love on My part which they then rejected.

Humanity's excessive hardship on earth prompted My love and mercy to draw nearer to them and to confront them in Word despite their resistance .... And anyone who had ignited just a tiny spark of love within himself recognised Me and accepted My Word .... He also recognised the Deity in Me and followed Me .... But by and large people just saw the human being in Me and therefore valued My Word simply as that of a human being .... I was amongst them and they did not recognise Me .... Nevertheless, I was able to proclaim the Gospel of love, to repeatedly impart the divine teaching of love to people and to educate My apostles Myself and then send them into the world with the task of proclaiming My Gospel and bearing witness to Me .... The 'Word Itself' had come to earth, and It was made flesh for the benefit of humanity .... And every time My Word is spoken, My infinite love and mercy bows down towards humanity and emits Its love into those human hearts who willingly accept My Word, who listen to it and recognise it as their Father's voice and who are grateful for this great gift of grace .... For I Myself Am the eternal Word, and anyone who listens to Me enters into closest contact with Me, and he will indeed achieve his last goal on this earth, he will find complete unification with Me, his God and Father, to Whom he has finally returned to be eternally blessed ....

Amen

Light and power supply must be coveted ....

B.D. 8142 from April 4th 1962, taken from Book No. 86

My flow of grace shall always be accessible to you as soon as you want to let it flow into you. I never set limits to this flow of grace, but you yourselves, i.e. your will, determine the strength with which it can touch you. And therefore you will be allowed to receive unlimitedly if you desire My flow of grace. And My flow of grace always means the supply of strength which your soul feels beneficially and which helps it to mature. For the soul is addressed by Me and My address can never remain ineffective, the soul feels My love and reciprocates it, and this always means approaching Me, it means taking a step further towards the height .... This is why you are always the recipients when you let yourselves be addressed by Me, this is why you must irrevocably ascend through every connection with Me which My address earns you. But I also want you to increase in knowledge, and therefore every address is also connected with an instruction .... I seek to impart knowledge to you which you once possessed but which you lost through your own fault when you consciously turned away from Me and headed towards darkness .... I want to return this knowledge to you if you desire it of your own free will, for possessing a light of knowledge also enables you to consciously change your earthly path, always with the goal of finally uniting with Me and being blissfully happy again, as you were in the beginning. Thus My address brings you strength and light .... The soul gains knowledge and now also applies the strength flowing to it correctly, i.e. it uses it for its perfection. My address can never remain without effect, provided, however, that it is desired and made possible by the human being himself through his will .... And therefore you can do nothing better than contact Me as often as possible and appeal for strength and light. I will never ignore such a request, and I will never deny Myself to you, after all, you belong to Me for all eternity, and I also long for the bond with you. Yet you must establish it yourselves because you once severed it yourselves .... Yet no human being will call to Me in vain who wants to be united with Me. His will is always the guarantee that I will draw close to him, that I will be so close to him that he will be able to hear Me if only he listens inwardly in faith and love for Me .... And then his earthly life will never be idle either, for the strength and light flowing to him will be beneficially felt by the soul and also utilised correctly, the soul will mature and fulfil the purpose of its earthly life, the soul will recognize its outcome and strive towards it again with all its strength, and it will be supported by Me in every way. And therefore you should also know what an unheard-of gift of grace your father bestows upon you when He addresses you Himself; you should know that without My help you are weak and without light, that your soul would neither see the path nor have the strength to travel it. But I show you the path and enlighten it, and I provide you with the strength to walk it, even if it ascends .... But you yourselves must give Me the opportunity, you must seek contact with Me of your own free will and desire to be addressed by Me. And truly, your desire will be fulfilled wherever and whenever it may be, for this bond with Me is your purpose of earthly life which will truly also lead you to the goal .... to the final union with Me, your God and father of eternity ....

Amen

Free decision of will ....

B.D. 8143 from April 5th 1962, taken from Book No. 86

The infinitely long path of your development through the creations of earth is coming to an end if you travel the last short stretch of the path as a human being in the right direction .... if you strive towards Me Myself and thus consciously accomplish your return to Me when you pass the final test of will on earth .... when you make the right decision, thus dispose of your opposing will towards Me, from Whom you once originated. Then you will truly have accomplished your work of transformation, as 'My living creation' you voluntarily became My 'child'. You have surmounted the deepest depths and ascended again to the highest peaks. Although as humans you indeed travel the last short stretch as self-aware beings, you have no recollection of the endless time of your preliminary development and of the awful torment this path meant for the spirits which were once created as free beings .... As a human being you will remain ignorant of your previous life and your actual purpose of earthly life until you have voluntarily looked for and found the connection with Me, which now reveals knowledge to you that will also impel you into serious striving for your final state of perfection. This knowledge can certainly be conveyed to fellow human beings too, so that they will live their earthly life more responsibly .... but it will rarely be believed as long as a person does not make contact with Me by way of thoughts, prayer or actions of love .... Since evidence of his previous existence cannot be given to him he will not gladly want to accept what he is told about his soul's path through all works of creation .... through the mineral, plant and animal world. This is why his sense of responsibility for his life on earth as a human being is small. But since it concerns the free decision of will he must find the path to Me himself .... He must learn to recognise Me and for this he will receive help in every way. For he can think, he can use his intellect, and even if it does not necessarily reveal the truth to him .... he can nevertheless use his intellect to also think about a God and Creator to Whom he owes his existence.

If such thoughts affect him he will also somehow or other form an opinion of them .... And the direction these thoughts take is up to his free will. However, as soon as he merely takes the possibility of an infinitely long previous time of development into account it will already be of benefit for his soul, for such thoughts will not leave him again and he will question the actual purpose of earthly life, then he can also be certain that many an explanation will be conveyed to him mentally .... which he will accept and also make him consciously strive to fulfil his purpose of earthly life. The human being certainly comes into this world without any kind of knowledge but I will always make sure that a small glimmer of realisation shines for him, that he will always encounter a light on which he need only kindle himself in order to recognise the path he should take in order to ascend. The fact that he is not forced in any way does not exclude that he won't have ample opportunity to make a free decision, and the beings of light which look after him will also help him gain realisation by way of providence .... yet always without coercion. But life on earth as a human being is of greatest significance since it can, after all, result in the final completion of the souls' path through matter and enable them to pass into the kingdom of the beyond as free and unburdened spirits .... However, the human being can also fail his final test of will and enter the beyond in an unredeemed state .... But even there it is still possible for the soul to find and call upon the divine Redeemer Jesus Christ and to ascend gradually. But it can also live an entirely unspiritual life on earth and be banished again into matter, that is, it will have to take the same path of development through the creations of earth once more, which is so appalling and requires such an infinitely long time again that I will truly support people in every possible way in order to protect them from this dreadful fate of a new banishment. In the end, however, it is the human being's will which decides .... And therefore I keep trying to influence the will such that it will turn to Me by itself .... For then his soul will be saved even if it is not yet fully mature when it finishes its earthly life as a human. But its will has chosen Me and that also signifies the right decision and thus a passed test of will. Everyone should listen and think about it as soon as he is informed of his development and his task on earth .... He should merely take the possibility into account and it would truly already be beneficial for him, for wherever possible the beings of light which guide him through earthly life will intervene and try everything in order to make him use his will correctly .... so that he can finish the path through matter, so that he will seek and find Me and then also be saved for all eternity ....

Amen

The adversary's increased activity against light bearers ....

B.D. 8144 from April 6th 1962, taken from Book No. 86

I will never allow My adversary to disrupt a contact with Me to earth if this is established with the serious will to be of service to Me .... But neither will I ever prevent My adversary's attempts to intervene disruptively, because I do not curtail his will either .... This explains the fact that you humans will often have to grapple with him but that My power and love is so great that he will never be victorious over those of you who have voluntarily placed yourselves at My service .... Nevertheless, you all have to watch out for his cunning and trickery, so that you will not give him the slightest reason for his anti-divine activity. For your own will is always decisive .... If it applies to Me then even the greatest enemy will be unable to affect you, since then I Myself will stand by your side and he will leave you alone in view of My light, which he avoids. During the last days he will find increasingly more vessels through which he will be able to express himself, which are enslaved by him and which will carry out whatever he impels them to do ....

Consequently, he will also create much turmoil, he will also try to cause a rift between My Own, he will appear under all masks and often not be recognised .... Yet your close bond with Me will grant you the light of realisation too, so that you cannot be deceived by his activity and keep away from him. However, the fact that he is unusually active cannot be denied, for discord will reign everywhere, there will be animosity among people everywhere, lies will triumph and hatred will become ever more obvious .... And My Own, too, will often wonder what caused them to become anxious. Impelled by inner restlessness they will often be hesitant and of weak-will .... but they will also take refuge in Me time and again, and I will strengthen and comfort them and enlighten them about the cause of their agitation .... And they will deliberately turn away from him and strive towards Me ever more sincerely and this heartfelt bond will provide them with the strength to resist him.

Nevertheless, those of you who receive My Word directly can rest assured that your service for Me can never be at risk, because you are accomplishing a remarkable mission, a mission which is regarded as a rescue mission of immense proportions and utmost significance in this earthly period: to convey the truth to people who languish under lies and misconceptions and who are therefore in grave danger. He will never be able to stop this mission because I Myself have erected a protective wall around My bearers of light, which not even My adversary can pull down. And although he will repeatedly try to attack this wall he will not succeed in tearing it down, for I will also extraordinarily strengthen My servants, they will recognise him and offer firm resistance .... They have become strong themselves, their inner light is shining brightly, and its ray exposes the adversary's cunning and trickery, they will see through him even if he appears under the mask of an angel of light. For he will also avail himself of those who believe that they speak on My behalf, who grant him admission due to arrogance or wrong fervour which does not concur with My will .... You humans will still experience much before the end, and nothing else can protect you from error other than the most intimate bond with Me .... But then you can also be assured of My protection and My help .... Then I will not let you fall into the hand of the one who is My enemy and adversary .... For although I don't limit him in his activity during the last days, I will nevertheless hold My hands protectively over My Own who have deliberately detached themselves from him and turned their will towards Me .... For they have made their decision of will on earth and have released themselves from his control for good ....

Amen

John 7:38-39 ....

B.D. 8145 from April 7th 1962, taken from Book No. 86

"Out of your body will flow rivers of living water ...." These words, too, were a divine promise given by the man Jesus when He walked the earth to proclaim My word to those who willingly listened to Him. This promise was also intended to point people to the process of the 'outpouring of the spirit', which gave them the guarantee that the living water, the pure word of God, would flow to them if they believed in Jesus as the son of God and redeemer of the world, Who was only the shell of My eternal God-spirit .... Faith in Me, Who accomplished the act of salvation on earth in Jesus, is necessary for this outpouring of the spirit .... It is necessary because only then will the burden of the original sin be removed from the human being and only then can My spirit pour itself out. The flow of the spirit should flow out of the body of the one who believes in Me .... My word should resound from within him .... For I Myself address the spiritual spark in the human being which slumbers within him until it is awakened through a life of love and now conveys My utterances to people .... Living water now flows out of the human being's body .... My word resounds in him and is held fast by the human being's will and passed on to his fellow human beings .... You humans do not pay attention to this promise of Jesus either, or you do not understand its meaning, otherwise the transmission of My word from above should truly not seem special to you who do not want to believe in it and reject revelations of this kind .... You do not understand the word which is written and which proves that you yourselves are still unawakened in spirit .... However, the process of the outpouring of the spirit upon a person is so easy to understand, yet it presupposes certain conditions, and anyone who does not fulfil these conditions does not understand the words of scripture in their spiritual sense either. But anyone who is seriously concerned with the value of divine revelations must also know that Jesus Himself made this promise to give the 'living water' to the human being ..... His word .... to man through His spirit. And he will not be able to reject Jesus' words, he must try to fathom their meaning, and then he will also be able to believe that I speak to people time and again, that I repeatedly convey My word to them from above. If the earth were not a valley of sin, if it were not the kingdom of the one who seeks to keep his followers in darkness, then the pure truth which Jesus Himself brought to people during His life on earth would truly have been preserved .... For no deformation of the truth would be possible without the influence of My adversary .... But this one will wage his battle against the light of truth as long as the once fallen spiritual is not yet redeemed. And therefore he will always try to enforce the truth with error, he will also deprive people whose spirit is darkened of all understanding for the pure truth, and nothing will remain as pure as it originated from Me .... Thus pure truth has to be conveyed to earth from Me time and again, which is also possible and happens time and again if a person prepares himself such that My spirit can work in him .... if he believes in Me, as the scriptures say .... if the living water, My word, can now flow through him and his fellow human beings can also drink from such a spring opened up by Me and refresh themselves with it .... But the 'scripture which testifies of Me' is of no use to you humans either if you yourselves do not understand it... because your spirit is unawakened. Then it will be necessary for you to be informed of what you must do in order to awaken the spirit in you to life ..... For it is necessary that you are admonished to live a life of love which first leads you to a living faith. And only then will you be able to properly recognize your God and creator of eternity, Who approaches you as father and wants to speak to you with words of love .... Who seeks to guide you into truth, because you can only become blissfully happy through truth. And then you will also understand that this is possible, that you humans hear Me Myself within you, and then you will strive for the heartfelt bond which is the prerequisite for you to hear My voice and recognize it as the voice of your father .... And only then will you also understand Jesus' promises which have to come true because His word is truth ....

Amen

Opponents under the mask of an angel of light ....

B.D. 8146 from April 9th 1962, taken from Book No. 86

There will be much confusion in the last days before the end and you will feel My adversary's power ever more clearly. Yet I will always kindle a light for you, who are and want to remain My own, so that you will recognize My adversary's activity, even if he appears under the mask of an angel of light. For I want to give clarity where he causes confusion, as soon as it is the human being's own concern that he should live in truth. But it will be alarming what devastation he causes because people are indifferent and often only expect sensations, because they are satisfied with such and still believe that I will send them such, whereas My activity is only purely spiritual, thus it only concerns people's salvation of soul, and therefore I avoid everything which could satisfy the hunger for sensation .... My activity will only ever aim to enlighten you humans where you still live in spiritual darkness. I will only ever seek to dispel the darkness, to bring you a light so that you will clearly recognize the path you should take in order to become blessed .... And therefore I will address the hearts of those who seek to reach their goal on earth, who establish contact with Me and therefore can also hear My address within themselves, be it in thought or also through the word which now sounds to them if the soul's maturity allows it. But the adversary will time and again turn the human being's thoughts towards the world .... He will also often appear as an angel of light, but you will be able to recognize him because he will not encourage you to turn away from the world but time and again he will bring the world to the fore, so that people who are not completely firmly united with Me will fall prey to him. The confusion will be great amongst people, for as long as the slightest desire for the world still clings to the human being My word will not be comprehensible to him, he will not be able to hear it himself, and if My word is conveyed to him then he will not recognize it as My word and far sooner turn to the one who creates this spiritual confusion. And My word remains ineffective, although great strength is inherent in it which, however, must not meet with resistance if the human being is to achieve blessings for his soul. But you who want to belong to Me with all your senses, you who take the maturing of your souls seriously .... you, who have recognized the earthly goal and seriously strive for it .... you will feel who is speaking to you, and you will also always turn away from the one who appears under a mask of light but brings people no salvation but only disaster .... Yet every person's free will must be left up to him, every person must decide for himself whom he wants to join, and every person must also conduct his own examination if spiritual knowledge is brought to him .... And he who is of good will will also be able to distinguish truth from error, and he will not be able to be led astray because he desires to stand in the truth .... And thus I will also always know how to protect My own from falling prey to error .... and they need not fear My adversary, for he will always betray himself and therefore be recognized by those who earnestly strive towards Me, no matter how well he disguises himself .... For it will not be possible for him to convey a light to people, they will constantly remain in darkness, and no matter how brightly the lights flash .... they will not give light, because My adversary himself is and will remain the prince of darkness and therefore he will never be able to give light either .... But the light emanates from Me, and by this you recognize My or My adversary's activity, whether a light is kindled in you which makes you blissfully happy, which makes you happy as truthful knowledge and gives you information where it was still dark in you until now ....

Amen

Call for diligent vineyard work ....

B.D. 8147 from April 10th 1962, taken from Book No. 86

Time and again I have to admonish My labourers in the vineyard to be eagerly active, for through their help many souls are directly addressed by Me and can therefore receive light and strength directly from Me. For the souls of people to whom My word is conveyed it is also at the same time a supply of food and drink, nourishment which they urgently need in order to still be able to mature in the short time until the end. And this nourishment has to be given to them so that they will not become weak in the coming time of adversity when they will have to prove their faith in Me, when they shall withstand all oppressions of the adversary who wants to plunge them into ruin by wanting to rob them of all faith .... And this will also not be difficult for him with those who only have a dead faith, who certainly call themselves christians but cannot get beyond formal christianity. Where living faith is lacking, the adversary will have great power and take away even their weak faith .... But whoever is fed with the bread of heaven, with the water of life, will attain to a living faith and will stand firm even in the fiercest battle of faith, for he will be full of strength which he will withdraw from My word .... And therefore you should constantly pass on My word, you who receive it and will constantly receive it if you hand yourselves over to Me, if you let Me be present in you and listen to what I say to you. And My love will offer you what you need, what will bring salvation to your soul .... My love will provide you with food which is beneficial for your soul because it helps it to mature .... And I will tell you again and again that I only want to win your love .... For this reason I have to consider you in such a way that you learn to love Me, that you become ever more inflamed with love for Me through My word .... that you increasingly recognize My perfection and feel drawn towards Me .... For whatever can only contribute to increasing your love for Me I reveal to you. And thus your knowledge will increase and you will be ever more convinced of the truth of this knowledge, because it gives you a bright light about everything that moves your thoughts, what you see around you and what was still unclear to you until now, since only the one can instruct you in truth, Who Himself is the truth from eternity .... And if such light is passed on, fellow human beings will also be offered the opportunity to glow with love for Me. They, too, will learn to love Me because they recognize Me as a supremely perfect being; and love for Me also seeks to establish the union which is the goal and purpose of earthly life as a human being. Time and again I want to bestow My gifts of grace upon you, time and again I want to convey My word to you, time and again I want to prove My love to you and reveal Myself to you .... But time and again I demand that you pass on the gifts of grace because I still want to win the love of many people and therefore have to address them Myself. But all of you, to whom I can thus reveal Myself, you will also feel My presence yourselves, you will feel that I am close to you, that I address each one of you if only he takes notice of My word which I convey from above to earth .... And My presence felt by him will also cause him to enter into heartfelt bond with Me, and then he will experience the strength of My word himself, he will receive My word for what it is: food and drink for his soul, which requires strong nourishment. I invite all to receive this nourishment from Me, for all will be satiated by Me who come to My table .... who accept My word, which is sent to them through My messengers .... Yet everyone must be willing to let himself be fed and watered by Me Myself, for I do not use compulsion .... Yet everyone will gain infinitely much who opens himself to Me and My word, who draws from My spring and drinks the living water which flows to him if only he is of good will ....

Amen

Request for strength and grace is always granted ....

B.D. 8148 from April 11th 1962, taken from Book No. 86

And you can request My grace and strength at any time .... You will never go empty-handed, for I am always willing to give if only you want to receive. And since you are weak as long as you still lack love, which is strength in itself, you must request strength from Me so that you practise love, so that your weakness is overcome and thus you can accomplish works of love. I will never leave a prayer for strength and grace unanswered, for then you will humbly confess your shortcomings to Me and also acknowledge Me Myself as the being Which is perfect, thus also has strength and light in abundance at its disposal and will now give them to you as a gift of grace .... For it is a grace when I bestow strength and light upon you in an unusual way, because you once rejected strength and light of your own free will and will now be bestowed with it again in the form of a gift from Me if only you ask Me for it. No person on earth needs to remain weak and lightless if he turns to Me, Whom he now acknowledges as a source of light and strength through his request .... And truly, his prayer will be heard, for as soon as you have come to the realization that your nature is deficient you will also humbly approach Me and voluntarily return to Me, Whom you once left in arrogance and therefore became weak and darkened in spirit. But I have no pleasure in a flawed being, and I Myself help it to its former perfection as soon as only its will applies to Me again, from Whom it once turned away .... But as long as you are still dominated by My adversary, whom you once followed into the abyss in free will, the feeling of weakness will not yet prevail in you either, but you will still be of an arrogant spirit and not break off the relationship with My adversary in order to turn to Me .... And as long as you do not come to Me in prayer that I may fill you with strength and grace, for My adversary keeps you from establishing contact with Me and calling upon Me in spirit and in truth. And therefore I also know how to value a prayer for strength and grace, I know that you thereby confess yourselves to Me, that you return to Me as repentant children and that you appeal to Me to be accepted as children again by the father Who loves you .... But then I will not let any call fall on My ear, I will give to you so abundantly that you will now walk the path full of strength and light which will certainly lead to the goal, to Me, for My grace will draw you and you will gladly let yourselves be drawn, you will no longer resist Me, you will make use of all graces and evaluate them .... And you become enlightened because My strength of grace is also expressed by the fact that love ignites in you which gives you the light you once lost. A prayer for grace and strength which comes from the heart is a spiritual request, and every spiritual request is granted. Hence you will also lose all weakness and be allowed to receive My flow of strength, and it will enliven the soul and make it capable of successfully completing the work itself .... But the body will also be allowed to participate if I deem this beneficial .... For its weakness shall also often prompt the human being to pray for grace and strength, and truly, I will pour out My grace and give to you without limitation, for I love you and long for your return to Me, which you must accomplish of your own free will. No human being will need to do without My grace and strength .... But no human being will be able to do without it either, for without the granting of My strength of grace he cannot ascend, precisely because he is weak and cannot ascend on his own. But he can always be certain that I will hear and listen to him when this request for strength and grace reaches My ear .... For then you humbly bow down to your father's will; you acknowledge Me and desire Me .... And I will take hold of you and not let go until complete unification with Me has taken place ....

Amen

Warning against medial reception ....

B.D. 8149 from April 12th 1962, taken from Book No. 86

"Every spirit which confesses that Jesus Christ has come into the flesh is of God .... "Thus you can use this as a touchstone to determine whether you are being taught by Me Myself or whether you have fallen prey to a wrong spirit, for this spirit will never bring My embodiment in Jesus, My descent for the sake of humanity's redemption, to your attention but will testify against it. But you must now also know that the counter-spirit often intervenes where it is offered this opportunity, when the human being relinquishes his will and thus an alien spirit can take possession of him, which you are not always able to recognize. I certainly always seek contact with you humans, and I rejoice in every bond you try to establish with Me yourselves, and where I find completely pure vessels My ray of love will also be able to flow into them, but this act should happen consciously; you should devote yourselves to Me so intimately that you will then be able to hear My voice in a conscious state, and then you will also be certain that your father Himself speaks to you .... But do you know the state of maturity of all those around you? Do you know whether you are protected against the influence of an unfair spirit which tries to cause confusion amongst you? .... You need not walk in error but you are not certain that it will creep in if you hand yourselves over to the spiritual forces as a 'medium', if you surrender your will and thus cannot defend yourselves if a wrong spirit takes possession of you. Yet these evil spirits are only waiting for this opportunity to slip in, and every impure thought, every preconceived opinion, every lack of love can already enable it to slip in, and then its 'spiritual knowledge' will be conveyed to you and you will accept it as 'My word' .... I want to speak to every one of My children, but believe Me, the intimate bond which every one of My children establishes with Me will certainly also earn him My word, yet every one of My children can hear it within himself, and depending on his intimacy, his dialogue with Me, My word will clearly resound within himself, his thoughts will be guided such that the child will feel that its father is instructing it and that it can completely abandon itself to these thoughts .... that they are truth .... Of greatest value is the inner bond which the human being establishes with Me himself of his own free will, for this protects him from error and also gives him inner peace and the certainty of being safe in My love. I have certainly said that where two or three are gathered in My name, there am I in the midst of them .... And you may also have this certainty that I Myself am with you and give your thoughts the right direction. And then everyone will also speak in full awareness what I put into his mouth, and then I Myself can also express Myself and instruct you by exchanging thoughts and, through the intimate bond with Me, being completely filled by My spirit .... Thus you will then speak in My will, which will then be a blessing for all of you. For the intimate bond with Me is and remains the prerequisite that I am present to you, and you can establish this at any time and in any place .... Then you are not bound to fixed hours which never guarantee whether everyone has prepared himself such that everyone is in most intimate contact with Me and then My presence is also guaranteed in every person's heart .... For all prerequisites must be in place if I Myself want to reveal Myself to a person ....

Amen

The work of redemption need not be repeated ....

B.D. 8150 from April 14th 1962, taken from Book No. 86

When I sacrificed My blood for the sins of humanity, when I laid down My life on the cross, a work of redemption was accomplished which was unique and need never be repeated because it covered the guilt of sin of the whole of humanity .... the people of the past, the present and the future. I took all sins upon Myself and redeemed the guilt on the cross, so that every person who is willing to accept this sacrifice can enter the kingdom of light and bliss after his death. For it depends on the human being's will whether he will be released from his guilt of sin, for he cannot be redeemed against his will. Yet all people who acknowledge Me as their redeemer from sin and death, who intimately unite with Me and want to belong to the circle of the redeemed .... all people who appeal to Me for forgiveness of their guilt thereby prove to Me their will to also accept the blessings of My act of salvation, and thus they are now included in the circle for which I sacrificed Myself on the cross. They should only consciously adjust themselves positively towards Me, then they will be seized by My infinite love and I will write their guilt of sin in the sand. They are free of it and can now feel like My children again, which they were before their fall into the abyss, when they came forth from Me, Who had created them, in all purity and fullness of light. I walked a difficult path of suffering on earth .... the agonies of My crucifixion until My death on the cross were indescribable, and My whole life on earth was also extremely agonising because I knew about everything that still lay ahead of Me. It was a measure of suffering which truly lifted much guilt of sin .... Yet a completely sinless human being accomplished the work of salvation, a human being Who was pure and therefore suffered twice, Whom the love within Him constantly impelled to all will and action and Whose work was therefore still to be assessed quite differently than that of a human being Who Himself would not have been free from guilt .... His soul came from the kingdom of light and the valley of darkness only increased its state of suffering, so that the work of salvation can truly be called a unique one which need never be repeated and yet the guilt of the beings will be redeemed for all eternity who conclude their course of development as a human being on earth, who take their way back to Me when they let themselves be redeemed by Jesus Christ, Who died on the cross for the sake of the guilt of sin of the whole of humanity .... And blessed is the human being who finds Him on earth, in Whom I Myself took form, in Whom I Myself became a visible God for you .... blessed is the man who believes this and calls upon Me in Him, for he is truly not lost .... (14.4.1962) For his guilt is written in the sand, or also: He is washed clean of all guilt through My blood. I Myself took his guilt upon Myself and redeemed it, because the human being himself would never have been able to redeem it, neither on earth nor in the kingdom of the beyond, for it was immeasurably great and therefore also demanded an immeasurably great sacrifice of atonement, which I accomplished on earth as the 'man Jesus' .... And although all people of the past, present and future had a share in this act of salvation, the human being himself must nevertheless confess Me as the divine redeemer in free will .... he cannot be redeemed systematically but he must recognize himself as having once become sinful, as being distant from Me due to sin, and he must want to come close to Me again and thus become free from all guilt .... And therefore you humans must also know about the significance and the reason for the act of salvation, you must know about your former fall into sin, about your great distance from Me and about your weak, wretched state .... And you must seriously desire to reach the former state again where you were blissfully close to Me. And therefore you must be truthfully instructed, which can only ever happen if you allow My spirit to work in you, but which first requires redemption through Jesus Christ, the release from your guilt through His blood .... And therefore you only need to want to live your earthly life according to My will .... You need only acknowledge a power above you and want to carry out the will of this power in order to fulfil your purpose of earthly life .... And you will then also fulfil My commandments of love because you are urged from within, because My spirit is constantly active in you .... And a heart which is willing to love also accepts without rejection what is conveyed to it about Jesus, the Son of God and redeemer of the world .... And it confesses Him and asks Him for help .... And thus My spirit can now work in him, which truthfully informs him and increased knowledge again generates increased love for Me and the conscious request for forgiveness of guilt then also brings full redemption, which can now also be followed by 'the outpouring of the spirit' .... This now opens up knowledge to the human being, and now fellow human beings can take right knowledge of the divine redeemer Jesus Christ and also voluntarily hand themselves over to Him in order to become free from all guilt. The correct knowledge of Jesus Christ and His act of salvation can only ever be conveyed to earth through My spirit, and this will also always happen, and all new generations will take notice of it, because all people who want to return to Me again must allow themselves to be redeemed by Him, because all people must recognize and acknowledge Me Myself in Jesus, because all people shall find forgiveness, because I died on the cross for all people who will ever walk across this earth on the path back to Me ....

Amen

Man needs the light ....

B.D. 8151 from April 15th 1962, taken from Book No. 86

The spiritual light shines out into the darkness .... My word sounds down to earth and breaks through the night that is spread over the earth .... For My word is the light which shines from above and penetrates dark regions .... My word is the evidence of My love for people who walk along in spiritual darkness and who will be swallowed up by the abyss if a light does not point out to them the danger they are in .... , for they walk along the edge of the abyss and are pushed ever closer to this abyss by My adversary and do not notice it because they are blind in spirit. Humanity has to be struck by a ray of light, it has to become sighted in order to now also take the right path which will only become apparent to it through the light. You humans must not believe that your God and creator leaves you to your fate, that He takes no part in your earthly course and its success .... For I am not only your God and creator but I am your father Who loves His children and wants to lead them out of every adversity and danger, because He knows that you are blind in spirit and constantly in danger of sinking into the abyss. And this constant danger is the darkness in which you walk, for you are completely without realization of what you are, what you were and what you shall become again. For you lack the light .... the truth from God .... You lack the knowledge which I alone can give you, because you once rejected it and are therefore to blame for your darkened state. I first have to give you this light again because you cannot acquire it yourselves .... which you certainly could if only you would kindle love within yourselves, which is a true light and gives you knowledge .... But you live without love and therefore also remain in darkness. And if I want to lead you out then I must kindle a light for you, I must give you a light .... I must bring the truth to you, even if you are not worthy of it, if you don't do anything to attain it yourselves .... But My love for you is great and it is the last time .... The danger that you will sink into the abyss has increased, and whatever I can still do to save you from this fall into the abyss I do .... And thus I let a light shine down to earth, I give you the truth even though you don't deserve it because you don't strive for it yourselves. But I know about your spiritual blindness into which My adversary has plunged you, and thus I kindle a light in you, and as soon as you don't resist it, as soon as you accept the light, the darkness around you will disappear and you will recognize the path which I show you, which you should take: the path of love .... I convey My word to earth and constantly address you that you should fulfil My commandments of love and that you will then also find your way out of the spiritual darkness, that you will feel at ease when you have escaped the darkness of night and entered the light of day. Because you are in completely dark territory, that is why you need a light .... And yet, you must receive it voluntarily, you may not reject it otherwise you will not be able to feel any effect of the light. And if I can only send you a small ray which makes you realize that the path you are taking is not the right one .... if I can only convey so much truth to you that you learn about your God and creator and your relationship with Him .... then you can already increase the glow of light yourselves by desiring to know more, and this desire will truly be fulfilled by Me. Only a small glimmer of light shall penetrate you, and the benefit of light will then cause you to kindle it in yourselves by practising love, because you recognize it as the origin of light. And if only this is achieved, that you humans fulfil My commandments of love, then the dark night will also be broken through, for the light of love will shine brightly into the night and chase it away, and the sun of the spirit will rise and all danger will be banished. And that is why I must send a light from above to earth, for on earth twinkling lights only appear from time to time which give off no light and therefore mean no benefit for people. The light must emanate from Me, from the eternal source of light and strength, and truly, such light will penetrate everything if only no resistance is offered to it .... But anyone who desires to stand in the light will also be illuminated by it, and through My word he will be introduced to vast knowledge which corresponds to the truth. And this knowledge will convey to him again the realization of what he once was and shall become again .... And it will make him seriously strive, for he will recognize the path which is now brightly and clearly shown to him and which also safely leads to the goal, to perfection, to union with Me ....

Amen

The spiritual grounding of the work of redemption ....

B.D. 8152 from April 16th 1962, taken from Book No. 86

You would have sunk into the night of death without salvation if My love had not accomplished the work of mercy which redeemed you from sin and death. There was no other salvation left for you than that a work of atonement was accomplished for your past guilt of sin, so that you would become free again from an immeasurable guilt which would have kept you eternally in the night of death. And this atonement .... the redemptive work of Jesus Christ .... of such great significance that you humans cannot take note often enough that you also have to make use of this act of salvation for yourselves in order to become free from the dreadful guilt of your past apostasy from Me and to be able to enter the kingdom of light and bliss again after your physical death. For this kingdom was closed to you .... And it remained closed until I Myself descended to earth in order to make atonement for you in the man Jesus, for your immense guilt which you could not have atoned for yourselves. No human being is aware of the greatness of that former guilt, and no human being can grasp the depth of the work of mercy which the man Jesus accomplished for His fallen brothers, in Whom I embodied Myself, which I needed a human form to receive Me .... otherwise My abiding amongst people would have been impossible, who would have passed away in view of the light and strength which My being emanates because it is perfect .... The man Jesus, Whose soul came to earth from the kingdom of light, offered Me this cover, i.e., He Himself completely received My being, which is love in itself, into Himself, and this love now made satisfaction for the guilt of sin of the whole of humanity .... As 'God' I would not have been able to suffer, but the 'human being' Jesus took upon Himself a measure of suffering which would have exceeded His human strength had it not been for the 'love' in Him which strengthened His external shell, i.e. which was the strength which enabled Him to accomplish His work .... Time and again it has to be presented to people that the descent of Jesus, My son, Whom I Myself sent to earth, had a profound spiritual reason, that not only one human being walked a path of suffering for earthly motives, on Whom fellow human beings took offence in their hatred because they suspected Him of earthly transgressions .... The suffering and pain the man Jesus endured in order to bring salvation to His fellow human beings from utmost spiritual adversity was of a completely different nature .... He, being completely pure and sinless, found Himself in the midst of the kingdom of sin, and His soul suffered immeasurable torment, for it recognized that the kingdom of darkness held people under its spell, that they themselves were too weak to ever be able to free themselves from the prince of darkness, and since the soul came to earth from the kingdom of light, the earth was a special torment for it which, however, it was unable to break through by virtue of its light for the sake of people's freedom of will .... People should come to the light within themselves by living in love .... And therefore He preached the commandments of love to them as a matter of priority; therefore He tried to enlighten people about the great spiritual adversity they were in .... But the great work of mercy, the dreadful suffering and hardship, which only ended with the death on the cross, had to be accomplished if the atonement for humanity's guilt of sin was to be made .... And the man Jesus saw this dreadful path of suffering before Himself and He walked it consciously .... because love was the driving force in Him, because I Myself was in Him, Who wanted to redeem humanity from sin and death. Time and again it shall be made clear to you humans that you should not pass by the divine redeemer Jesus Christ; you should believe that you are hopelessly lost if you don't accept His act of mercy, if you don't allow yourselves to be redeemed of your own free will, for the gate to the kingdom of light is and remains closed for every soul which is still burdened by its original sin, for which only the divine redeemer Jesus Christ was able to make atonement and therefore must also be appealed to so that its guilt, too, may be redeemed through His love and grace .... otherwise the soul will remain eternally burdened and will never be able to enter the kingdom of light and bliss .... Jesus' death on the cross is not just a human matter, it is of such immense significance for the whole of humanity of the past, the present and the future that you humans must time and again take a stand on Jesus' act of salvation, in Whose shell I Myself .... the eternal Deity .... manifested Myself, because I Myself wanted to redeem people from sin and death .... Do not pass by Him Who has united Himself with Me .... Do not pass by Jesus Christ, Who sheltered Me in Himself in order to redeem you, otherwise you would have sunk without salvation into sin and death ....

Amen

The word must also be brought to the people of the world ....

B.D. 8153 from April 17th 1962, taken from Book No. 86

The whole of creation is probably a mystery to the human being who lives only in the world and rarely or never directs his thoughts into the spiritual realm. He regards everything around him as the products of a force of nature, about which, however, he himself gives no thought and therefore cannot be mentally enlightened either .... He lives in the world, and for him the world means everything .... Nor does he seek to penetrate the secrets of creation, its purpose or the cause of its emergence .... And these people also gain nothing from their earthly life, they are merely parasites because they claim and seek to exploit everything in the world for themselves and their physical comfort and are once called away without having achieved any advantage for their soul. And it is also difficult to preach the gospel to them, to introduce them to the commandments of love or to encourage them to live a spiritual life next to their earthly life. And yet, an attempt shall be made to present the great responsibility of their soul to such people as well .... They shall be informed of their long course of development beforehand, even if they don't believe these ideas. And they should be made aware of the fate of a new banishment which they will not escape if they do not change their way of life .... Much is already gained if those people are developed a picture of what lies behind them and what they have to expect again in the case of the last failure on this earth .... for even if they don't believe such ideas the thought of it will nevertheless worry them at times and cause them to think further. Then they will also start to look at the works of creation around them with different eyes and seek to get behind the secrets of creation .... And then they can also be given a small light which they now have to let shine in free will, since they are by no means forced to change their thoughts. And this attempt shall be made again and again to inform worldly people of the cause and origin of the works of creation, because hours will also come for these people where they are thoughtful and give space to such thoughts which will be answered by luminous forces .... as long as they devote themselves to those thoughts. And anyone who is in possession of truth himself, who has penetrated the mystery of creation, should seize every opportunity where he can speak, where he can pass on the truth and introduce fellow human beings to spiritual knowledge. For God also guides His own, who want to serve Him, to those who still oppose Him, who are still under the control of the one to whom the world belongs .... And He lights a little light which can chase away the darkness of the night, if the resistance of the light is not so great that its glow fades and is deprived of its luminosity .... For resistance will not be forcibly broken on the part of God, but all help will be given to him who strives towards the light .... Often the desire for light will no longer be found, yet you should not tire of carrying a light into the darkness, for you will always recognize it where it is possible, and you yourselves will be filled with great joy if you succeed in making your fellow human beings, who are still in the midst of the world, think .... if you can draw their attention to the great danger and they just listen to you .... For every day is significant for every person when he turns away from the world and lets his thoughts wander into the spiritual kingdom. Although the human being determines the time himself through his free will, nothing should be left undone where he can be helped into the right direction of his will, for it concerns the soul's fate after the death of the body, which corresponds to that will in earthly life. The world will pass away, and often enough people will also be confronted with the transience of earthly goods .... And time and again individuals will be found who detach themselves from the world when they are truthfully informed about everything and their thoughts now take the direction which leads to the right goal .... when they are turned towards the spiritual kingdom and are now also truthfully answered from there .... which always means spiritual gain for the human being because he has now escaped the great danger of new banishment ....

Amen

Free will must receive the word ....

B.D. 8154 from April 18th 1962, taken from Book No. 86

You can always feel addressed by Me if you want to hold a heartfelt dialogue yourselves, if you devote yourselves to Me and your thoughts are directed towards Me. Every intimate bond prompts Me to express Myself, which will be sent to you again in the form of thoughts, because it is also pleasing for Me when I can speak to you, yet this possibility has to be created by yourselves. Yet My address .... the thoughts which touch you .... will always express My love and wisdom to you…. I will always tell you what serves your soul's salvation. I will admonish you to love and at the same time inform you of My nature, because I Myself want to win your love and this requires that you recognize Me as an exceedingly lovable being. And as soon as you yourselves notice an increase in your love for Me, you also know that this is the effect of My address, which you can all hear within yourselves, because you humans are all capable of thinking and the very direction of your thoughts demonstrates to you the spiritual sphere where your thoughts originate. Hence, if you are spiritually united with Me through prayer or heartfelt thoughts, your thoughts will always move in the direction which has Me as its goal again, because I always try to tie you to Me anew as soon as only your will belongs to Me. But if I now want to convey truthful knowledge to people in order to give everyone the right light, then I must choose a suitable vessel for it which has subordinated itself to My will to such an extent that it is now only active in My will .... Understand therefore: I cannot and will not force a person into a service in My vineyard, but it is a service which is to be rendered in completely free will. And thus this will must have completely subordinated itself to Me, only then is the human being a suitable vessel into which I can pour My spirit .... And now a process can take place which is extremely significant: I can convey the pure truth to earth which is to bring about that people learn to love Me .... For I want to gain people's love, because then complete redemption will also be assured .... because then the human being himself will live in love when he has recognized his God and creator as the eternal love Himself .... but for which the knowledge of My nature, the knowledge of truth, is also a prerequisite. Only the supply of truth provides people with a correct image of Me and My nature, and only the supply of truth can induce the human being to take the right direction of will, because the realization of My nature impels him to strive towards Me, because love will then ignite in the human being if he has recognized Me correctly. And thus you must evaluate the direct address from above which opens up unusual knowledge to you humans, which brings you closer to spiritual truths which only I Myself can impart to you humans because I know everything and also your ignorance when you live on earth without the supply of pure truth from above. People who mentally unite with Me can certainly also receive this truth mentally but they will always evaluate it as their own thinking and also not represent it to their fellow human beings as truth, even though they themselves can be inwardly convinced of the truth .... But they lack the evidence .... But if great spiritual knowledge comes to a person on earth in an unusual way, then this knowledge will also be evaluated differently by those who are of good will, but it will not force them to believe either .... because I Myself will never give the human being 100% proof due to his freedom of will. However, every person is free to accept or reject the spiritual knowledge offered from above, yet the willing person will recognize it as an extraordinary gift of grace and be happy, because he will also feel the strength of what has directly flowed forth from Me Myself in order to kindle love in people. Everything that stimulates love can be considered good, for My adversary will never preach love and adversary forces will never be at work where My divine teaching of love is proclaimed .... Yet you should not disregard one thing, that love also always emanates wisdom.... as light emanates from a fire .... Hence a life of love must always result in 'knowledge' for the human being, he must increase in knowledge which corresponds to the truth, for I Myself am love, and I instruct people because they live in spiritual blindness as long as they have no knowledge about Me Myself, about My nature, as well as about all spiritual correlations, but which they must possess if their hearts are to glow with love for Me. And I woo My living creations' love, for they emerged from My love .... And therefore the transmission of truth through the eternal truth itself is a completely understandable process which, however, also requires the necessary prerequisites which not many people can demonstrate and therefore this transmission cannot take place very often. Yet I know who is suitable for it and who willingly carries out this vineyard work of passing on the truth, because it is urgently needed before the end, so that people will be enlightened in their spiritual darkness ....

The mission of the disciples ....

B.D. 8155 from April 19th 1962, taken from Book No. 86

My disciples were instructed in My teaching of love when I walked across the earth .... They were full of love themselves or they would not have followed Me, for their free will determined them, not My will. And therefore they also soon recognized Me as the promised messiah, although time and again they fell into doubt due to My adversary's influence, who did everything to disparage Me in their eyes because he wanted to separate them from Me. But I exemplified a life of love to them and this motivated them to follow Me and to let themselves be taught by Me time and again. And I had much to say to them, for I wanted them to continue My missionary work to people .... I wanted them to instruct their fellow human beings in the same way, that they should proclaim the gospel of love to them, which I therefore urgently proclaimed to them and time and again drew their attention to the significance of a life of love. For love was what people lacked, which is why they were also without strength and unable to resist My adversary in order to be released from him. And since My disciples lived out love themselves except for one, they were also able to understand Me .... and where they lacked understanding I helped them, for I needed true representatives of My teaching who should also convincingly proclaim Me Myself and My act of salvation, which ended My life on earth. For that was the most important part of their mission, that they testified to Me Myself and My great act of mercy, that they went out into the world and reported about Me and My death on the cross, but that they proclaimed the gospel of love at the same time, because it was love which made Me descend to earth, Who died on the cross in appalling suffering in order to redeem people's guilt of sin .... Thus My disciples first had to know the connection if they were to speak of it with conviction themselves. And I truly explained everything to them, they were always able to follow My life and activity, they were able to ascertain the effect of a true life of love on Me Myself, they experienced that I healed the sick and worked miracles because the strength of love in Me came to fruition .... And after My death I filled My disciples with My spirit .... What they had lacked in knowledge before, they suddenly recognized, for it became light in them .... I Myself was now able to work in them through My spirit, and thus they were now also suitable for their mission to go out into the world and teach the nations. For everyone was to take note of what had taken place on earth for the sake of humanity's sins .... Everyone should know about My commandments of love and about the one Who, out of love, gave Himself on the cross in order to redeem people. It was necessary to convey this knowledge to people and therefore I sent My disciples out into the world after they had been trained by Me .... and since My spirit was working in them they could only proclaim pure truth and thus bring light to people who were living in spiritual darkness .... Yet time and again the working of My spirit will also be necessary if My gospel is to be proclaimed .... time and again disciples trained by Me will carry My gospel out into the world, because they shall proclaim the truth which can only be recognized and spread by an enlightened spirit. For time and again My act of salvation shall be mentioned, time and again people have to learn about the great work of mercy of the man Jesus, in Whom I Myself offered the sacrifice on the cross .... Time and again this knowledge has to be truthfully offered to people if the darkness is to be broken through which My adversary keeps spread over the earth time and again .... Only light can break through the darkness, and only the truth from Me is light .... And this will therefore be repeatedly guided to earth by My spirit and carried out into the world by My disciples chosen by Myself. For people do not know that they have to find redemption from their original sin, nor do they know that their unkind way of life has brought them darkness. And therefore the divine teaching of love has to be proclaimed to them first, for the effect of a life of love will also bring them the light in which they will now brightly and clearly recognize the mission of the man Jesus .... and the light of truth will lead them to Him, they will take the path to the cross, and I Myself will now redeem them from sin and death ....

Amen

Agonizing sufferings of Jesus Christ .... Incarnation of God ....

B.D. 8156 from April 20th 1962, taken from Book No. 86

With the most bitter suffering and pain I concluded My life as a human being on this earth, when I shed My blood for the sins of men in order to redeem their great guilt .... Only one "human being" died for people on the cross .... and a human being also took the most agonising suffering upon Himself in order to offer the sacrifice of atonement to Me, yet I Myself was in the human being Jesus because love provided Him with the strength for this work of grace and mercy, and I Myself was this love .... As long as you live on earth as a human being and are not yet perfected you will not be able to understand that I Myself was in the man Jesus, because it is incomprehensible to you that God is love .... that God can only be spoken of when it concerns love, which is God's fundamental nature .... The human being Jesus was full of love, and His greater than great love motivated Him to sacrifice Himself for His fellow human beings because He recognized their wretched state and wanted to bring them help. But I Myself was the love which filled Him, I Myself was in Him in My fundamental element, and therefore I Myself accomplished the sacrifice on the cross in the man Jesus, yet the 'human being' endured the most agonizing suffering because I, as 'God', was unable to suffer. You humans should only believe that I embodied Myself in the human being Jesus .... You should only believe that I Myself chose this human shell because otherwise you would not have been able to take notice of My act of mercy .... You should only believe that I made Myself 'visible' to you humans in Jesus and that you therefore have to acknowledge Him if you want to acknowledge Me again, Whom you once refused to acknowledge .... My incarnation in Jesus is such an enormous problem that it cannot be expressed in a few words .... Nevertheless, time and again I try to solve this problem for you as far as it can be made understandable to you. I Myself accomplished the sacrifice on the cross for you because it was love Which wanted to redeem you humans from sin and death .... The human being Jesus took immense pain upon Himself, His human shell, His body, suffered unspeakably and died the most agonizing death on the cross in order to atone for the great guilt of sin .... But this human being Jesus was in intimate union with Me, otherwise I could not have taken abode in Him, otherwise love could not have completely filled Him .... I was in Him, He had become a shell for Me .... The Godhead, Whose primal element was love, radiated through Him completely, so that He was completely merged with Her .... that He became one with Me .... Jesus and I are the same, Jesus had become a visible God, whereas before I could not be seen by any of My created beings .... because they would have passed away in the primeval fire of eternal love .... But the suffering the man Jesus endured for His fellow human beings was unimaginable, and thereby the great original sin of the beings which had once fallen away from Me was atoned for, so that the path to Me became free again for all beings .... into the kingdom of light and bliss .... You humans will never grasp the full depth of this work of grace and mercy, but you will be able to believe that it was not a purely human affair which was carried out on earth by the man Jesus, but that profound spiritual motives underlay christ's act of salvation and that I Myself must be recognized and acknowledged in Jesus. And time and again I will convey this knowledge to people so that they will know that they cannot ignore Jesus Christ and His act of salvation if they want to attain eternal life. Time and again I Myself will inform people of this through My spirit, because school-transmitted knowledge will never be accepted or find the right understanding which, however, is the prerequisite for acknowledging Jesus Christ as the son of God and redeemer of the world, in Whom I Myself became human in order to redeem humanity ....

Amen

Spiritual resurrection from the night of the grave ....

B.D. 8157 from April 21st 1962, taken from Book No. 86

A great spiritual awakening shall still bring about your work in My vineyard, a 'resurrection' from death shall take place before the graves close for an infinitely long time .... Understand it: Everyone who finds his way to the light will also surely rise from the night of the grave, he will step out into the light of day, and he will live because he can now work according to My will .... As long as you humans walk in spiritual darkness you can truly speak of a night of the grave which surrounds you .... And as soon as a glimmer of light touches you, you will emerge from your grave and thus rise again .... And My vineyard labourers have the task to carry a light everywhere, because light alone awakens in the human being the desire to leave the darkness of the grave .... because light alone points the way which leads out of the darkness. It is a spiritual awakening, it is not yet the resurrection of the soul after the death of the body .... But it is a resurrection to spiritual life, which is the actual meaning and purpose of earthly life .... For as long as man lives only his earthly life, this life is still an idle one. Only when he awakens from his dark state, only when he strives for truth, will a light be kindled in him, and then he will begin to live a second life .... Then he is born anew, or also, he arises from death. For the soul is in a lifeless state as long as it does not take the spiritual path and fulfils the actual purpose of earthly life: to shape itself according to divine will, to take on the form again which it originally possessed when it came forth from Me as a perfect being. The 'spiritual awakening' is of such great significance for every human being that you, My servants of the last days, will truly experience My blessing if you contribute to it .... if you spread light so that the soul will emerge from its state of sleep .... And carrying light only ever means spreading My word, because this is the direct supply of My divine light of love which .... if it touches a person's heart,... irrevocably ignites and enlightens it, which initially informs the person of My will and will always shine brighter the more seriously the person makes the fulfilment of My will his concern. Anyone who lives in My will will also attain eternal life, for My will is a life of love, and this, in turn, is the human being's transformation into love .... it is the transformation back to his original being. And again a life of love will mean increased light, and the human being will have escaped the night of the grave, the soul will have come to life which it will now also never lose again. And time and again I will help you humans to achieve this by sending a ray of love-light to earth which only needs to be caught by you in order to now also work in you .... Then a light from above will touch you .... you will be addressed by Me Myself and receive My word .... be it directly or also conveyed to you through My messengers. And being allowed to hear My word will always be a light for you, for you will receive purest truth, and you need not fear any error which is again like spiritual darkness but which I Myself want to chase away with My light which radiates to you from above. And when I admonish My vineyard labourers to spread My word to the world .... when I encourage them to eagerly spread what they receive directly from Me, I only want the light to shine out into the darkness of night. I only want you humans to find a path which leads out of this darkness and that you recognize Me Myself in the glow of light, your God and creator of eternity Who, as a loving father, is concerned about the well-being of His children who are still in dark spiritual night .... For light alone is life, light alone is bliss .... And light can only emanate from Me Myself, I Who am the source of light and strength from eternity ....

Amen

Resurrection of Jesus .... Easter ....

B.D. 8158 from April 23rd 1962, taken from Book No. 86

My body was resurrected on the third day .... And even if this event seems unbelievable to people because they cannot find any evidence for it, humanity should nevertheless be told through My spirit that I truly rose from the dead. Because through My act of Salvation I overcame death which My adversary had brought into the world with his descent into the abyss. And with My resurrection I proved to you humans at the same time that death does not exist for the spiritualised being. Hence the re-transformation into the original being .... which is achieved by a life of love as I exemplified to humanity .... also excludes every condition of death, every helplessness and weakness, and as soon as this transformation has taken place during earthly life the soul can enter eternal life .... Death was conquered by My sacrifice on the cross because the original sin was redeemed by it and the being was given the opportunity again to transform into its original essence which then also guaranteed its eternal life.

I wanted to prove to you that the physical body can be spiritualised too and thus will not have to fear death either if the human being succeeds in spiritualising his body while still on earth .... I Myself, as Jesus the human being, spiritualised all of My body's still immature substances through My life of love, I matured them; love calmed everything that was unspiritual in Me and persuaded it to unite with My soul, so that body and soul could join the eternal spirit God within Me and thus a complete fusion with Him took place. And an entirely spiritualised being cannot be subject to death anymore, because death is a condition of helplessness, but a spiritualised being is light and strength in abundance and liberated from every restraint. The event of My resurrection was therefore also visible to people because they found My tomb empty .... It was understandable that the disbelievers tried to convince their fellow human beings that My body had been abducted but they could not substantiate this .... And My resurrection will only ever be accepted as truth by believers, by people who are already intimately connected to Me through love or their good will to live in the right way before My eyes .... But it is true that it happened because with it the promises, which were transmitted to the people by seers and prophets, were also fulfilled.

My resurrection was a huge defeat for My adversary to whom I proved that love is stronger than hate .... that he would not keep his followers in a state of death forever, because I Myself had overcome death and therefore could give life to anyone who acknowledges My act of Salvation and accepts the blessings I had acquired for him on the cross. Hence My resurrection was a defeat for My adversary, and for this reason he tried to mislead people and cast doubt into them about My resurrection .... Nevertheless he will not be able to prevent the resurrection of those who follow Me, who believe in Me and to whom I can now give eternal life, as I promised. And he will constantly have fewer followers, since time and again people will rise to eternal life because I overcame death, because he cannot eternally burden a being who has the will to return to Me, and who will thus seek refuge beneath My cross in order to escape My adversary's force .... Death has been conquered for them and their resurrection to life is guaranteed ....

Even My disciples did not want to believe that I had risen from the dead, although I made this promise to them beforehand .... But I strengthened their faith, and they recognised Me when I came to them .... Hence they had proof that I had overcome death, because they should proclaim Me with complete conviction. They should speak of My death on the cross and also of My resurrection, since this knowledge had to be given to people who were meant to believe in Me and start on the path to the cross .... since they could only be redeemed if they, too, carried their guilt to Me under the cross. But My most important act of mercy would soon have been forgotten again had My spirit not been active time and again in those human beings who had entirely given themselves to Me, and whom .... being redeemed .... I could fill with My spirit in abundance, who educated them from within, who made the knowledge of Jesus Christ's act of Salvation comprehensible to them .... Because the written records passed on to people did not remain truthful for long .... Where human intellect was used on its own misguided opinions crept in, which were also passed on as 'written records' and consequently there was no further guarantee for the pure truth .... But where My spirit could work in a person, the pure truth was revealed time and again, and the knowledge of My suffering and death on the cross as well as My resurrection was given to people, because this knowledge is absolutely essential if people are also to have complete faith in it.

And My spirit will always work in a person who gives himself to Me in order to receive the pure truth .... Time and again people will hear the message and be given the right explanation, so that you humans can indeed believe in My resurrection and My triumph over death, that death need not exist for you anymore if you keep by My side, if you yourselves want Me to have died on your behalf .... when you have a living faith in Me and My act of Salvation, which I Myself accomplished in Jesus the man. I was resurrected from the dead, and after the death of your body you will be resurrected in this way to eternal life too .... And you need not fear death anymore once you are freed from the enemy of your souls, from My adversary .... once you allow yourselves to be redeemed by Me .... Because then there will be no more death for you, then you will live in and with Me and eternally not lose this life again ....

Amen

Intensified fight against the light ....

B.D. 8159 from April 25th 1962, taken from Book No. 86

Where there is light, there is also obviously recognizable the activity of My adversary who wants to extinguish the light. There is a great spiritual battle of darkness against light on earth .... The earth is in darkness but time and again My love lets little lights shine in order to help people out of the darkness of night into the light of day. And you must know that the prince of darkness tries to compress it so that his activity will not be recognized. But the light of truth exposes him, in the light of truth his shameful activity is recognized and people try to avoid his influence. And this always means the loss of souls to Me, Who will likewise be recognized by them in the light of truth and then also gain souls in order not to lose them again forever. The battle of darkness against the light rages with such fierceness as you are unable to comprehend. And My bearers of light are particularly attacked by him and his dark servants, and every effort is made to prevent you, My bearers of light, from spreading the light, every effort is made to extinguish the light so that you shall sink back into darkness yourselves and once again fall prey to him .... But he will not succeed in this because I can only give the light to those who have turned to Me of their own free will .... thus have separated themselves of their own free will from My adversary. And he no longer has any power over them, but I have the right and the power to protect them, and I will also do so against all his attacks. There is only a short time left until the end and increased vineyard work has to be done in order to still come to the aid of people who are willing to detach themselves from My adversary but who lack strength .... The light from Me, My word, which I Myself convey to earth through servants willing to serve Me, gives them the strength .... Therefore everything should be done to supply them with this strength, which requires most diligent vineyard work and an everlasting acceptance of My word from above .... And you can truly be certain that I will give you the strength to do so if you want to be active for Me in this last time before the end. You should let this faith revive in you that My strength will keep coming to you as long as I need you, because not many faithful servants voluntarily place themselves at My disposal and therefore I will bless everyone who offers himself to Me to work in My vineyard. And even if it seems to you that strength is leaving you .... come to Me, your father of eternity, in all sincerity and ask Me for the gift of strength .... And truly, you will receive it and be able to work tirelessly for Me and My kingdom. Let this faith come alive in you and pray to Me, for then you will unite with Me and My strength can flow into you, for I Myself have given you the promise: Come to Me, all you who are weary and burdened .... I will refresh you. And so believe without doubt that I will strengthen you, for I love you and I want you to love Me with all your heart, with all your soul .... And thus resist the enemy of your souls who wants to prevent you from serving Me and who places doubts in your heart which, however, are not allowed to find a place in your heart. But he will not let up in his fight against the light and will always hide behind those who have access to you so that you will become suspicious. But he works with cunning and trickery, and sometimes he also succeeds .... But My light shines so strongly that it exposes his scheming and he achieves nothing. Therefore resist him when you are prompted to slacken your vineyard work .... for then you will recognise the adversary who knows very well that he has not much time left .... Every day is a lost day if you don't do vineyard work, and you yourselves should never be negligent, for obstacles are often enough placed in your way that it is impossible for you to work in My vineyard .... But let your will always be directed towards serving Me, and your will will also always be blessed. For the time until the end is only short, but there are still many human souls in great need to whom you can bring help ....

Amen

Indirect and direct Word of God ....

B.D. 8160 from April 26th 1962, taken from Book No. 86

Every enlightened spiritual being carries My will within itself, it has completely subordinated itself to My will otherwise it would not be a being of light .... And thus this being will only ever carry out My will, which it realises to be right and good .... hence it is, at the same time, active of its own will which, however, is My will too. This is something you need to know in order to recognise the value of what such a being of light mentally imparts to you when it works on My instructions in order to educate you .... You must always know that My light ray of love, My inexhaustible flow of strength, flows through all light receptive spiritual beings and will always be passed on again to where it is still dark, where light and strength are needed. If I therefore convey this light ray of love to earth in order to impart the pure truth to people it happens indirectly and directly .... I Myself emanate the light which can affect a person directly, but I can also transmit it through the beings of light, whose greatest happiness consists of the fact that they may pass the flow of My strength of love on, as it is their activity in the spiritual kingdom to serve Me as a reservoir of light and strength, so that a constant process of re-routing of strength occurs which makes countless beings happy and enables them to attain ever greater maturity. However, it is and remains always the same flow of strength and light, which originates from Me .... Hence you should not assume that you receive something of reduced value, it is and remains 'My Word' which I Myself convey to Earth because I recognise that people urgently need to receive light, that people come into possession of truth. Once a person has created the opportunity that contact between Me and the person can be established, the transference of light and strength will be guaranteed .... The Primary Source of light and strength is and remains Me Myself .... in which way this transfer takes place is irrelevant .... Even if beings of light are the mediators .... they can only ever give what they have received from Me Myself, and they will never act in opposition to My will, otherwise one could not speak of 'beings of light' .... Unenlightened beings, however, are denied access to a person who has offered himself to be of service to Me, who wants to work for Me and My kingdom and desires the pure truth from Me .... For such beings are not permitted to teach as long as they are not enlightened themselves, that is, as long as they cannot be illuminated by Me Myself .... as long as they have not prepared themselves as bases for strength, as long as they still have a low degree of maturity and possess little knowledge themselves ....

Nevertheless, these beings are able to intervene during such contact from earth to the kingdom of the beyond where a low state of maturity can still be found in people and where a person relinquishes his will, thereby allowing these beings to slip in, which are then able to express themselves and cause considerable havoc .... But this danger is out of the question where the transfer of the pure truth is concerned, where My spirit can be active .... where a person's heartfelt contact is established with Me and the influx of My flow of spirit can take place. That which comes forth from Me Myself is truth, even if it takes its path through enlightened spiritual beings .... because they, too, only pass on what they receive from Me Myself. Hence the point of view, that these beings of light could teach something different than I Myself, is mistaken, for only one truth exists, and if a being is enlightened then it will also be permeated by this one truth and pass it on of its own accord, for the light of love which illuminates these beings is My eternally inexhaustible flow of love and strength flowing forth from the primary source .... You humans first need to accept the truth of the fact that the beings of light don't instruct people arbitrarily through which a less valuable transfer can take place when someone establishes heartfelt contact with Me with the desire to be educated by Me .... This point of view is frequently upheld by people and another error I need to rectify time and again, so that My transmissions from the spiritual kingdom will not be wrongly judged, for My kingdom is a kingdom of truth, and the truth will be conveyed to that person who seriously desires it. The desire for truth excludes all misguided spiritual knowledge, because I Myself Am acknowledged and desired, and I Am the Truth of eternity. Yet you must also know about the strength and light re-routing process which, in turn, is the epitome of bliss for the beings who entered My kingdom of light .... you must know that their state of maturity results in their constant illumination by My light of love and that this light of love will be passed on again by them, in accordance with My will .... Thus, I Am the be-all and end-all .... Where light and strength exist that is where I Myself Am active, and everything conveyed to you humans through the working of the spirit within you can be regarded as divine emanation ....

Amen

Fully maturing the soul .... Miracle healing - Compulsory faith ....

B.D. 8161 from April 27th 1962, taken from Book No. 86

Let the flow of My strength of love take effect in you, open yourselves and constantly receive light and strength from above and thereby provide your soul with the opportunity to mature fully in order to enter My kingdom in a perfect state when the hour of its passing away from this earth has come .... The soul is the spiritual essence within you which can only be given spiritual gifts, which requires spiritual nourishment for its path through earthly life. The soul is that which continues to exist when the body disintegrates, for the latter is transient as long as it still serves immature substances as a shell, which shall be released again if they have not joined the soul during earthly life, if they did not become spiritualised during earthly life .... which is indeed possible but only happens rarely. Then matter will dissolve and release the tiny spiritual particles which take on new shapes again for further development. The soul, however, has reached its final stage of development on earth, and you should spend all your care on making sure that it will accomplish its final maturity and be able to return as a spirit of light into the kingdom which is its true home .... And it can only attain this final maturity if it allows itself to be constantly illuminated by Me, if it accepts light and strength from Me directly by consciously entrusting itself to Me, by opening itself and allowing My flow of love to permeate it .... by listening to Me when I address it in order to nourish it and quench its thirst, in order to administer the right food which guarantees its full maturity on earth. And the soul will feel the flow of My love's strength .... because it will never remain ineffective where all opposition has been broken.

The fact that you humans don't feel the same effect physically has to be understandable to you, because I will not exert any form of compulsory faith on you and your fellow human beings as long as people have to freely decide as to whether they want to accept or reject the nourishment for the soul which I offer to them from above, the Word, which I impart to them directly and which nevertheless must not be so evidently demonstrated as to force people into believing. Try to understand that you have to believe with free will; your own deliberation, kind-hearted activity and a close bond with Me have to result in this belief. And My working through a person's spirit should also just be 'believed' but must not be verifiable; yet every unusual manifestation would already be considered proof which would be detrimental to other people's souls. You must still distinguish between body and soul .... Your soul's perfection will be achieved through your inner life, which indeed will also be externally recognisable through deeds of love .... and the body must, as far as possible, adapt to the soul's wishes, it must not resist its desire and be used as an indicator of My illumination of love for a person .... on account of which even a sick body can shelter a healthy soul within itself as long as this body has to fulfil a task which shall benefit fellow human beings. For they, in turn, shall be guided into faith purely through My Word, not through miracles like the sudden recovery of a sick body .... although I also let such miracles happen if the strength of a strong faith is demonstrated, for 'I will not disappoint a strong faith ....' But I know at all times whether and how I gain people so that they will attain a living faith .... I also know what will serve every soul's salvation .... But My love will never remain ineffective, even if you yourselves are unable to recognise a result ....

Amen

Vineyard work before the end ....

B.D. 8162 from April 29th 1962, taken from Book No. 86

No more great revivals will take place because people have completely fallen prey to the world and thus to the one who is lord of this world, who will do everything in his power to keep people away from Me and who will also succeed because there is only little faith left in a God and creator from Whom they themselves also originated. A spiritual awakening can only take place through the fulfilment of My commandments of love .... Only love can achieve such an awakening, for only a life of love awakens the human being's faith in Me to life. But love has grown cold among people .... They only desire material goods, their love belongs to them, and this is a wrong love which only keeps the human being in darkness but does not give him light. For this reason there will only be a few I can still address in the last days who will recognize My word as the father's voice when it is offered to them by My messengers .... But these will be delighted and only awaken to the right life because the strength of My word flows to them, because I Myself can be effective with My strength and this will truly not be without success. And for the sake of these few I will still send My messengers until the last hour to gather those who long for My word so that they, too, will join My small flock which I will rapture from this earth at the end in order to transfer them into a kingdom of peace before the earth experiences the day of judgment .... the day of the end when all creatures will lose their life because order shall be restored and the earth will serve as a training station of the spiritual again when the new period of salvation begins, as it is intended in My plan of salvation from eternity. I will still try everything to increase the number of those who shall still awaken to life, who shall join My small flock .... (29.4.1962) and whom I will save in the end when I create a new order on this earth .... I will leave no stone unturned, and wherever there is even the slightest hope of winning a soul I will also send My messengers there and bring help to that soul in the form of My Word, for as soon as it is only possible for Me to address it Myself it can still change in the last hour .... This is still the only means for My word to touch a person, for this word possesses strength which can become effective if the resistance is not too great. And at times I will also work in an unusual way through spiritually awakened servants by obviously pointing people to the 'strength of God' which expresses itself through a believing person, by allowing sick people to heal who believe in Me and thus also give their fellow human beings proof that there is a God of love and might Who works in all wisdom. But these people also have to join this God through a life of love, only then can we speak of a true 'revival'. I come to meet every person, I knock at every door of the heart .... And anyone who lets Me in will be blessed, for he can never ever get lost, he will remain faithful to Me even in the last time of the battle of faith, he will belong to My own whom I will rescue from utmost adversity. But you humans should never believe that a spiritual change for the better will still take place on this earth .... My adversary will rage more and more, and people themselves are in bondage to him and therefore also draw on the dissolution of the old earth, its complete transformation .... And humanity has already reached the spiritual low which necessitates such a transformation, and thus the time is fulfilled and every day is only a grace period which every person can still use for his own salvation. For the day of the end has been fixed since eternity and it will also be kept because I do not contradict Myself. Yet the work of salvation will also continue until the last day, and the serious admonition goes out to all My servants to be diligently active for Me and My kingdom .... And even if it is only individual souls which are saved through their cooperation .... for Me every soul is a great gain, and therefore I will support you in your vineyard work in every way, for I love all My creatures and want them to become blessed .... Thus I will also do everything to save them from the abyss, from the new banishment for an endless time again ....

Amen

Turning the will to God is right decision ....

B.D. 8163 from April 30th 1962, taken from Book No. 86

When a person entrusts himself to Me, when he surrenders himself to Me and completely submits to My will, then he has passed the test of earthly life, he has freely decided in favour of Me and thus also consciously started the path back to Me .... And My adversary will never be able to win him back, because I have the right to his soul and now prevent every relapse because the will freely decided in favour of Me. But then he can also be certain that he belongs to My own, for I will not relinquish My right to him, after all, he once emerged from My strength of love and thus also belongs to Me, which I will never ever let My adversary dispute. And this will turned towards Me is also the surest protection against him, because the light of love, which can now shine through you again, repels him, for he flees all light from Me. Although you will still have to fight against all kinds of urges and cravings before your body has completely spiritualised itself, which you only rarely succeed in doing on earth, your soul will become increasingly stronger and have an effect on the body, and this will also result in victory over those cravings, so that the adversary will soon lose all his attack surfaces and that he will now distance himself from you, who also possess defensive power in My light of love and thus push him back from you .... Time and again I point out to you that you should only give your will to Me, that you fully consciously subordinate yourselves to My will, for then you will have won over your enemy, because then I Myself will be able to assert My right and truly not leave you to My adversary. And this certainty shall also give you the assurance that you will now take the right path, that you will think and act correctly, because now only My will is decisive, to which you fully subordinate yourselves and thus cannot think and act other than in accordance with My will. And thus you can now also carry out your vineyard work as being in My will and blessed by Me .... And you need not fear to be influenced by My adversary .... you need not doubt the love and protection of your father to Whom you entrust yourselves as His children. For you yourselves brought the battle against the adversary to a victorious end by turning away from him and towards Me of your own free will. So now I stand by your side and in My protection you no longer need to fear anything .... And when I speak to you then you can also be certain that My adversary will never be able to intervene and speak to you in the same way .... He certainly has great power, especially in the time before the end, but only where he is not opposed .... but never where I can be through your will, which has made this presence possible for Me .... Thus you yourselves determine his working on you if you are voluntarily in bondage to him, but he can never oppress you against your will. And My direct address is proof of My presence .... My presence, however, is in turn a protection against error. You should believe this firmly and unshakably, otherwise you will not be able to represent My word with all conviction .... a mission but which you should carry out because I have called you to be active for Me in the last days before the end. And you can use what you receive from Me with complete certainty, for it is pure truth which is not interspersed with error, because My adversary is prevented from having any influence on you .... as long as you yourselves devote yourselves to Me, as long as you desire pure truth and make My working through the spirit in you possible. For I do not force you either, but your will belongs to Me and I can therefore also work in you as I have promised .... I can introduce you to the truth, for you are My disciples of the last days who shall proclaim My gospel to their fellow human beings again and whom I was therefore able to care for with this mission because they gave themselves to Me of their own free will.... because they have already made their final decision of will on this earth and therefore will only ever want, think and act as it corresponds to My will ....

Amen

'He that shall endure unto the end ....'

B.D. 8164 from April 30th 1962, taken from Book No. 86

'But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved ....' This is My promise, which certainly makes the greatest demand that you shall persevere until the end .... My promise will only come true with a small flock, for a great test of faith will be demanded of you, passing it will require much strength and an intimate bond with Me, since the believers will be harshly persecuted by the authorities and the human being can only offer resistance with My support by making use of My strength which will flow to him through his heartfelt contact with Me. He must belong to Me with all his will, with all his soul, and the strength of his faith in Me will give him the fortitude to resist. Then he would rather give up his life than Me, Whom he has recognised as the most loving Father from Whom he will never want to separate again .... And I will reward this strength of faith and love for Me, for he will become blissfully happy .... This small flock, which will remain loyal to Me even during the harshest battle of faith, will be rescued by Me from extreme adversity, I will move them to a place of peace in order to then give them the reshaped earth as their abode again, so that a new era will begin, a time of peace and of innermost unity with Me, so that I Myself will be able to stay amongst My Own because their deep love for Me allows for this .... The reward is truly magnificent but My Own will deserve it, for the last days on this earth will be incredibly difficult for them, and yet they will remain faithful to Me. They will abide until the end ....

And by using all means I will truly help them to attain this strength of faith, for I will reveal Myself to them beforehand in many different ways .... I Myself will come to them in My Word, and My direct communication will let their love and faith come alive; their constant contact with Me will fill them with a love that will increasingly intensify .... I will often miraculously intervene in their life and will also visibly appear to those who wait for Me in utmost adversity and firmly believe that I will help them .... I will leave no-one without comfort and Words of encouragement; I will give strength to all so that they will be able to endure even the most difficult situation. And they will firmly believe in Me with indestructible trust in Me .... And thus they will wait daily for My coming, for their deliverance .... until I Myself fetch them because the time will have come to an end, because I will put an end to My adversary's activity and put him into chains along with his adherents .... And the day of Judgment will result in a complete transformation of the earth's surface; all creations in, on and above the earth will be dissolved and be placed into new forms, the day of the end of the old earth will have come for all human beings and only those who belong to My Own will be lifted up from earth and escape destruction, whereas My adversary's followers full of terror will face their downfall and be devoured by the earth .... For the formation of the old earth will have ceased to exist .... Yet a new earth will emerge again and a new epoch of Salvation will start, and this new earth will be populated by those who remained loyal to Me until the end .... They will be blissfully happy, as I had promised them, since My adversary will have no more control over people for a long time to come, for they are devoted to Me in love, and therefore I Myself will be able to dwell amongst them and all hardship will have come to an end .... There will be peace on earth again, a divine state of harmony and beatitude .... where only love will reign ....

Amen

Bond with God guarantees truth and return ....

B.D. 8165 from May 1st 1962, taken from Book No. 86

And time and again My grace and mercy will help you where you are in danger of failing .... Yet I will not force your free will and it will always be up to you whether you accept My grace. I am always in contact with you, My living creations, and you need only consciously enter into the same relationship with Me and you will be able to receive grace without measure and then also use it, for the bond with Me also guarantees you right thinking, because then I Myself can influence your thoughts and you will certainly no longer reject them. You should return to Me .... you should consciously accomplish this return during your earthly life .... Thus you also have to make contact with your God and creator and therefore get to know Him first. You must believe in a being Which called you into being, with Whom you were closely connected .... But you also have to know that you distanced yourselves from Him of your own free will and that your task in earthly life is to turn to Him again of your own free will .... And you must be willing to take the path of return to your creator. And you must enter into the right relationship with Him, into the relationship of a child with its father .... If you see your father in Me then you ask Me Myself for help, and then I can bestow unmeasured blessings upon you, because then you will also make use of them and truly reach your goal. This return to Me is your earthly task which you can also accomplish, because you will never be without help, for I Myself long for your return to Me. For you are Mine and will remain so for all eternity, even though you strayed from Me of your own free will and followed a being which first became apostate to Me because it exalted itself and thereby plunged into the abyss. You were able to behold this being because it shone to you in the full splendour of its beauty, its light and its strength, because I had created it in My image .... But due to its fall into the abyss it also lost its knowledge, the densest darkness surrounded it, and into this darkness it drew an army of originally created spirits after it .... which had emerged from My strength and its will .... These originally created spirits therefore also belonged to Me, and I do not relinquish My right to them either .... but I will not deny him his right either, since they followed him voluntarily .... However, once again the apostate beings will have to decide for themselves to whom they want to belong, to Me or to him .... And they will have to make this decision themselves in earthly life, where free will will be given back to them and also so much light that they can make the decision themselves .... Thus light is brought to them on My part, they are instructed why they are on earth and what task they have to fulfil .... This instruction can also be given to them by their fellow human beings, they can be taught about it in a school-like manner and then lead their way of life accordingly, which can also earn them increased knowledge. Yet they can also receive wrong enlightenment, because My adversary .... the prince of darkness .... constantly endeavours to keep the beings in darkness and thus will always deface people's truth so that they will not receive light and thus the final decision will be made difficult or impossible .... But I long for your return, therefore I also make sure that the beings as human beings are instructed in the pure truth .... I ensure that they gain so much knowledge themselves that they can freely decide for themselves .... I instruct them Myself through My servants who offer themselves to Me for vineyard work and who enable a supply of pure truth from above; I address people directly or also through those messengers who are now active on earth on My behalf .... And thus people receive a small light from which they recognize the nature of their God and creator Who wants to be their father and win their love.... And this transmission of My word to earth is a work of grace and mercy with a very special effect .... It guarantees every person's return to Me who recognizes and accepts it as grace, who lets Me Myself speak to him and thus enters into conscious contact with Me, so that he can now receive grace and strength without measure which will enable him to reach his final goal on earth .... that he successfully takes the path back to his father of eternity from Whom he once had taken his origin .... My love for My living creations is so great that I will not cease to court their love either, and as soon as My love can shine upon them again .... as soon as the human being surrenders himself to Me again in free will .... he will also glow with love for Me, and the return to Me is assured. For I will not let anything get lost forever that belongs to Me, that has emerged from My strength of love .... and no matter how far away it is, it will one day voluntarily return to Me again ....

Amen

Who is it Who speaks to you? ....

B.D. 8166 from May 3rd 1962, taken from Book No. 86

This is the sign of My presence that you are able to hear Me, that I speak to you, that I convey My word to you, the emanation of the light of love from Myself. You know that I fill the whole universe .... but you also know that I am present in the smallest grain of sand .... And thus I can also dwell in the heart of a person who, like a child, desires to speak with his father .... Why do you consider this impossible? Why do you yourselves want to create such a great distance between yourselves and Me, when My love gave birth to you and this love also constantly desires its creatures? Why is it incomprehensible to you that you can hear My voice, that I Myself lean down to address you? That you would not be able to bear My undisguised strength of love is certainly understandable, yet I can always turn it towards you in as much strength as your state of maturity allows .... but it touches you as soon as you want it yourselves, as soon as you open yourselves to My illumination of love through your will. But it is always My emanation, it is always the flow of strength emanating from the eternal source which flows into you ..... You may well have been radiated by Me as the tiniest spark, but you are and will forever remain the same .... Your primal element is love which also returns to the sea of fire of eternal love because this has been the law since eternity. And even your free will has not been able to dissolve the bond between Me and you, it has only had the effect that My strength of love could become less effective on you, that it could not illuminate you with the strength of light as it emanates from Me but nevertheless touches you because otherwise you could no longer have existed. Hence the bond always and forever exists, and even if your will reduces the effect of My illumination of love you will nevertheless never be able to induce Me to restrict My emanations, nor will you be able to say that I Myself keep Myself distant from you .... This assumption is erroneous, for you cannot measure the depth of My love which applies to you and will apply to you forever. Thus I Myself bring Myself as close to you as you allow it .... If you still keep yourselves far away from Me then you will not have the desire to hear Me yourselves either .... Then it would be irrelevant to you whether I am and where I am .... But if you yourselves seek to approach Me, then you yourselves will also reduce the distance from Me, and if you long for My address, then you yourselves will enable Me to be present in you, for then love is already in you, and in love you unite with Me .... Your desire for My address opens your hearts to Me and My radiance of love is possible again as in the beginning .... "He who abides in love abides in Me and I in him ...." And the degree to which love ignites in you is also determined by the strength of My illumination of love, so that you can certainly say that you would perish if My flow of love flooded you with all its strength, because as a human being you are not yet capable of that love which you felt in the beginning when you were still blissfully happy in the kingdom of spirits. Nevertheless, I am present to you, for I am not only your God and creator but also your father .... and the father will never deny Himself to His child, the father will always be close to the child, and it is the father Who speaks to His child when it longs for His address .... (3.5.1962) I will certainly remain eternally inaccessible to you, and eternally I will be unfathomable to you, because I am the original centre and you are sparks of light emitted by Me which therefore could not behold the being from Whom they emanated .... For I am eternally the most perfect spirit in infinity, of Whom no created being can form a concept .... But this does not prevent Me from approaching every single being with that strength of light and love it can bear, and then you will never be able to say that it is not I Myself Who unites with His children, Who is present to them .... But My presence is undeniable as soon as I address the child, because it is strength of love which now fills the heart of the one who hears Me, and because 'strength of love' is My fundamental nature .... because I Myself am love .... The degree of strength of love which can flow into a person also determines the degree of deification which the human being can certainly achieve on earth .... as the human being Jesus also achieved, but which is rarely only reached because few people are capable of such love that they can leave earthly life as completely spiritualized. And such deification always means closest union with Me .... thus presence of the eternal Deity, of the highest spirit in infinity .... For I am and remain a God of love, and love will always seek to unite with that which has emerged from it as a product .... I will always strive for reunification with the beings created by Me, because this is My goal of the process of creation: to work and create in intimate communion with the products of My love .... And I will also achieve this goal one day because My love is eternally unchanging ....

Amen

Nothing is too tiny for God ....

B.D. 8167 from May 4th 1962, taken from Book No. 86

Even in the smallest grain of sand I am present .... And thus you also know that nothing is too small and inconspicuous for Me to permeate it with My strength of love, because this is the only way to guarantee its existence if My strength is in it. For everything shall develop upwards; through constant change within itself the strength shall increase in all My works of creation, no matter how tiny they may be .... they shall progress in their development through the unification of the spiritual in these works of creation and receive My strength in increased measure, for this shines through everything that is apparent to you. And this is My plan of salvation: time and again to supply strength to the spirits in the works of creation so that they can carry out a serving activity in their external form determined by Me .... And although this spiritual substance .... the particles of a dissolved original spirit .... is fulfilling its destiny in a state of compulsion, it nevertheless slowly matures, and through constant unification, through constant change of its outer form, it can also constantly develop upwards until the last maturity, where all particles of a fallen original spirit have found each other again and are now allowed to embody themselves as a "soul" in the human being for the purpose of passing the last test of will .... And if you look at the whole of creation in this way then it will also be understandable to you that even the tiniest creature as well as the hardest matter experiences My constant care, for nothing is inanimate, everything harbours My strength within itself, and this strength once again flows back to Me from where it originated .... Even the tiniest creatures have their purpose, they are assigned a task by Me, even if you don't recognize it .... Everything is guided and looked after by Me and progresses irrevocably upwards, because there is no standstill where My will is effective. And this always determines the spiritual substance as long as it is in a state of compulsion, which one day will also bring the spiritual substance the maturity which is a prerequisite for embodiment as a human being. For Me there is no limit, and therefore I also take care of every individual person's fate, which may not seem comprehensible or credible to you because you are still imperfect .... not comprehensible or believable to you. Yet My kingdom is infinite, My power and My love infinite .... Everything is possible for Me and thus also the care of countless beings, because there is no limit for Me. And every being .... once it has regained its self-awareness .... can turn to Me and it will be heard by Me. Every being which believes in Me will form an idea of Me but will never come close to the truth because it is incomprehensible to the being, the human being, because he has to be in highest perfection in order to form an approximately correct idea of Me. But people on earth need only acknowledge Me as their 'father', then they will also have come considerably closer to the truth, even if they cannot fathom My nature intellectually. Yet they should know that nothing is too small for Me not to deal with it .... they shall know that love in Me encompasses everything that is, because love is My fundamental element, and that this love will not rest until even the tiniest creatures have reached the maturity that I can draw them to My heart .... For strength is everything you see around you, and this strength originated from Me, thus it is something divine which inevitably also has to return again to the source of strength from eternity, so that the strength can become effective according to its purpose .... that beings similar to Me can then create and work with Me and in My will, but which is then also their own will, because they are perfect as they once originated from Me ....

Amen

Gift of God: Love spark ....

B.D. 8168 from May 4th 1962, taken from Book No. 86

But what is to lead you to perfection when you walk across earth as a human being I had to give to you, for you had voluntarily renounced it .... you had rejected all illumination of love and thus distanced yourselves from Me .... You were no longer able to pass away but you became incapable of any activity .... you had voluntarily chosen death and now hardened in your substance .... and the strength once radiated by Me remained ineffective until I Myself transformed it into creations of all kinds which now had to fulfil their destinies according to My will .... and the once hardened spiritual awoke to life again .... And thus it reaches the degree of maturity where it is allowed to walk the earth as a human being .... But you would never be able to ascend on your own strength because you lack all strength in the human stage, since you once rejected it and I now had to give you this strength so that you can reach the final perfection on earth. And thus I placed a spark of strength and light .... a divine spark of love .... into your heart, and through this divine spark of love you can now attain the life which lasts forever. You once separated yourselves from Me voluntarily but you remained indissolubly united with Me because you were strength from Me which can never pass away again. Yet only the conscious voluntary bond with Me signifies life for you, because then My love, which is the epitome of life, can shine upon you again. And so that you became able to strive towards Me again I placed a spark of love into your heart, the spiritual spark which is part of the eternal father-spirit, which is inseparably united with Me and which now tries to influence your soul, the original being which once had become apostate to Me,... to influence it to strive towards Me as the father-spirit of eternity in order to unite with Me again .... Whether the soul is willing to do so is up to it, but it is able to ignite this spark of love within itself into highest fervour, and this also means unification with the fire of eternal love, with Me Myself, because the spiritual spark in the human being constantly pushes towards the father-spirit of eternity and does not diminish until unification has taken place. The spark of God in you is the greatest gift of grace of My love, because otherwise you would never be able to muster the strength to change yourselves into love again if you did not already have a spark of divine love in you which you only need to kindle yourselves so that it would fill your whole being and you would then also be able to achieve perfection on earth. And you must always be aware of the fact that this is a gift from Me, because you had renounced all love yourselves when you turned away from Me of your own free will, when you rejected My illumination of love and thereby hardened your spiritual substance. However, the fact that you were never able to pass away did not exclude an extremely unhappy state which certainly slowly improved due to My infinite love but which remained agonizing for you as long as you were bound in material forms. As a human being you do indeed have a certain amount of freedom but the state you are in is not a blissful one, nor would it ever change again without that gift of love .... the divine spark, which is My share, which enables you again to accomplish the transformation of your nature into your original being if this is your will. For your will is free, and earthly life as a human being is given to you to test your will .... You can acknowledge Me as your God and father and seek to unite with Me .... But you can also commit yourselves to My adversary again if you disregard the divine spark of love within you, if you do not follow its urging, if you feel that you belong to the one who once drew you down into the depths and whom you followed voluntarily .... You must voluntarily decide in earthly life to which lord you will give yourselves .... Yet My love will always and forever pursue you, and one day it will also be victorious, for no being can eternally resist the strength of My love ....

Amen

Recognizing the origin is giving up the resistance ....

B.D. 8169 from May 5th 1962, taken from Book No. 86

Anyone who recognizes his origin in Me is already on the way back to Me, he has given up the resistance he felt towards Me as the influence of the one who completely rejects Me. As long as a person lives on earth without being aware of his origin, as long as he does not think about where he comes from and where he is going, he is still entirely under My adversary's influence, and as long as he does so it is not possible to give him evidence of the power from which he has emerged .... But if he becomes aware of his origin then this also means that he mentally deals with questions which concern himself and his connection with the power which created him. Then he begins to detach himself from My adversary, he acknowledges Me even though he does not yet fully consciously confess Me. But then he can also be regarded as saved, for even if he is still attached to the world he will nevertheless time and again return to those thoughts which are now answered for him on My part always in such a way that he regards them as thoughts he has gained himself but which will no longer let him go either. And his life's fate will also contribute towards him becoming thoughtful, towards him looking for a purpose in life and no longer being content to see it in the world and earthly goods .... And since I know every person's thoughts, since every individual soul is exceedingly dear to Me, no person need fear that he will remain without help in earthly life, for I shape it such that his will can always make the right decision. But I do not force him .... But once the human being has found the answer to his mental questions about his origin, he will also strive towards his God and creator .... And then he will also be mentally taught that he himself can and should establish the relationship with this God which I desire: the relationship of a child with its father .... And then he will also come ever closer to Me, for if he is moved by such thoughts his nature will also be willing to love .... and the activity of love which such a person now also carries out will bring him ever brighter light, ever clearer realization .... If only a person always wants to become clear about his origin .... if only this thought wants to move him, then he is not lost, for he will no longer drop such a thought, because the light-filled guides also constantly influence him mentally, as soon as he has once expressed that will to receive enlightenment about himself and his outcome .... then he desires light, and then a light will also shine for him .... But if My adversary succeeds in nipping such thoughts in the bud, then the human being turns to the world with increased readiness, and he only sees his earthly life as an end in itself and seeks to savour it in all directions, and he remains in his control. That is why My vineyard labourers should only ever strive to direct their fellow human beings' thoughts towards their origin. They should speak of that kingdom which is not of this world and encourage people to take a stand on it themselves. A small hint can sometimes already suffice that the human being gives his thoughts a different direction if only the will is good, thus he is not obviously subject to the adversary. For this reason the beings of light are also grateful to people who help them by making their views known to their fellow human beings in conversations and then the beings of light can intervene and continue to work for their part .... which, however, always first requires thoughts turned towards the spiritual kingdom but which they then also mentally answer. And if My word can now be conveyed to those people I Myself can then also work on them, but this always requires your preliminary work first, because people's thoughts cannot necessarily be directed to Me but you humans have access to them and thus you are active for Me and My kingdom as soon as you merely mention the power from Which everything emerged, including you humans yourselves .... As soon as you humans are aware of your origin you will also turn to Me, and truly, I will no longer let go of anyone who gives Me his will, who recognizes himself as My living creation and who now also learns to recognize the father in Me, Who gives all love to His living creation and wants to draw it to Himself as His child for eternity ....

Conveyance of the truth from God is necessary ....

B.D. 8170 from May 6th 1962, taken from Book No. 86

What I tell you is necessary to know .... I only want to give you truthful enlightenment so that you will still evaluate the last short time on earth correctly, so that you will live responsibly. For this reason I impart knowledge to you humans through people whose spirit is awakened and who are therefore able to hear Me Myself. For they shall be instructed by the eternal truth itself in order to be able to believe. And yet I must also offer this knowledge to you humans such that you are not forced to accept it, because I do not force your faith. You should be completely free to decide to accept this knowledge but also be able to reject it if you are not willing to accept a last great gift of grace from My hand. And therefore I convey the truth purely to earth again, for the maturing of your souls and your future beatitude depends on this truth. If you receive the right kind of enlightenment about your God and creator you will also feel drawn to this being because He is love, wisdom and power in Himself .... And I only want you humans to turn to Me, I only want you to seek contact with Me as your God and creator in order to be able to look after you as a father until the end of your life, until you have reached your goal, the return to Me from Whom you once voluntarily departed. As long as all correlations cannot be explained to you from the beginning of your existence, as long as you know nothing about your past apostasy from Me, you will walk along in spiritual darkness and your earthly life will only be an idle one, it will only be an earthly-oriented life without any success for your soul. But you should be instructed in complete truth that you yourselves have to fulfil a task on earth and what this task consists of. But you can only receive the pure truth from the eternal truth itself, only I Myself can convey the pure truth to you. And this possibility exists when a person prepares himself such that he becomes a right vessel for Me into which I can let My spirit flow. Then a direct connection is created from My kingdom of light into the kingdom of darkness, then I Myself can speak to a person who can pass on My spiritual knowledge to his fellow human beings again .... And then you can truly be certain that you receive pure truth, and you can conduct your way of life in accordance with this knowledge which is now conveyed to you .... You will become aware of the great responsibility of your earthly life, for you now recognize the meaning and purpose of your earthly life, you recognize your relationship to your God and creator, and you now voluntarily enter into the right relationship with Me: the relationship of a child to its father .... Your nature will change into love because the eternal love itself addresses you; you will recognize that I love you and you will now also return My love .... I seek to achieve nothing other than to bring you closer to the being from Whom you came forth yourselves, Who created you out of His strength of love .... I only seek to achieve that you restore the bond with Me which you once voluntarily severed .... But for this you have to be instructed in truth, because truth alone is the light which enlightens you inwardly and shows you the path to Me. And you have to take this path fully consciously, and you will also take it as soon as you learn to recognize Me Myself through the truth and then also strive towards Me, because love ignites in you, as soon as you yourselves give Me the opportunity to illuminate you through your will .... And I will always speak to people like a father because I love you and this love will never end .... Truthful knowledge will always be conveyed to you from Me which you will also willingly accept if only you are of good will. And these shall experience My great love which applies to all My living creations and which will not let any go astray, so that they will reciprocate My love and thereby also attain life which lasts forever ....

Amen

The sacrifice of atonement of the man Jesus ....

B.D. 8171 from May 7th 1962, taken from Book No. 86

He who allowed Himself to be crucified, He knew about all the spiritual and earthly hardships of people, which were the result of the guilt of sin .... And therefore He wanted to redeem humanity's guilt of sin, He wanted to take all suffering upon Himself, He wanted to help His fellow human beings in their adversity .... It was the man Jesus Whose immense love also brought Him the knowledge of people's wretched condition and its cause .... He knew that they would never be able to free themselves from their adversity because He also knew the reason for their humanity, their former apostasy from God, their creator, of their own free will. And this human being Jesus offered Himself to His God and father from eternity as a sacrifice of atonement .... He wanted to redeem people's great guilt, He wanted to clear their path to the father again .... He wanted to give His life Himself in order to give His fellow human beings the life again which they had lost through their apostasy from God, for they were in a state of death, they were bound in the power of God's adversary. And to snatch people from this power was the will and the work of the man Jesus, Whose soul descended to earth from the kingdom of light for the purpose of this mission. This plan of salvation was prompted by an overwhelming love for this plan, for He was in constant contact with the eternal love; He was filled with love for the father and this love motivated Him to travel a path of dreadful suffering and torment in order to atone for the guilt of sin which burdened the whole of humanity. And the love in Him constantly increased, the eternal love itself took abode in the man Jesus, Who prepared Himself as a dwelling place for His father, Who was love itself .... And this love dwelling in Him gave Him strength to accomplish a work of mercy which was and will remain unique .... that He laid down His life for people, that He suffered the most painful death on the cross and thus redeemed the guilt of sin for the whole of humanity, for people of the past, the present and the future .... Only love could accomplish such a work .... God as the eternal love was in the man Jesus .... thus God Himself had offered the sacrifice on the cross and redeemed humanity from eternal death. God's justice did not allow the guilt of sin to remain unatoned for .... God's justice also made it impossible to admit the sinful being into His kingdom of light and bliss .... And therefore humanity would have had to remain in its wretched state forever, because it could not free itself from it if a soul of light had not taken pity on its misery .... if a soul of light had not offered to make a sacrifice of atonement in place of the beings which had become sinful and to satisfy God's justice .... But this sacrifice of atonement was immeasurably painful, no human being would ever have endured this measure of torment if an abundance of love had not given him the strength to endure to the end .... if God Himself, the 'eternal love', had not been in the human being Jesus and Jesus was thus capable of the superhuman suffering precisely through the strength of love .... Yet the man Jesus suffered unspeakably and therefore paid for the great guilt of sin towards God, so that the path to the father became free again for people who consciously place themselves under the cross .... who want to take part in Jesus' act of salvation, who approach Him for increased willpower, for forgiveness of their guilt of sin and who also recognize and acknowledge the father Himself in Him .... No human being is forced, it is entirely up to him whether and how he accepts Jesus Christ and His act of salvation, but time and again he is informed of what the man Jesus has done for His fellow human beings and who it was Who accomplished this act of salvation in the man Jesus. And time and again it is pointed out that no human being may pass by Him, the divine redeemer Jesus Christ, if he wants to enter the kingdom of light and bliss again, where he once dwelled before his fall into sin .... Jesus has atoned for the great guilt, but He must now also be consciously approached .... He must be asked that His blood has also been shed for the person who makes this request to Him. The human being must voluntarily take refuge with Him under His cross .... And he will truly be redeemed from all guilt, he will be able to return home to the father Who longs for His children but can only accept them into His kingdom again when all guilt has been redeemed through Jesus Christ, the Son of God and redeemer of the world ....

Amen

Free will must accept gifts of grace ....

B.D. 8172 from May 8th 1962, taken from Book No. 86

I am willing to give at all times .... but are you willing to accept My gifts at all times? I give you love, strength and blessings of all kinds but I don't force you to accept them, for you have to accept all My gifts voluntarily, you have to open yourselves voluntarily, i.e. willingly hand yourselves over to Me, allow My illumination of love, for I am immediately willing to let My flow of strength of love flow into you as soon as I recognize your readiness, your willingness to receive. And you prove this to Me through heartfelt thoughts of Me, through a prayer in spirit and in truth or through lovework .... For then you will always be connected to Me, contact will have been established and I will be able to flood you for your salvation. You will never go empty-handed when such a connection to Me is established .... Even if your body doesn't feel it but your soul accepts food and drink, it will be satiated by Me because My flow of love can now flow into you which will touch it so powerfully. Yet you humans make far too little use of these blessings of Mine and yet you could be strengthened at any time, for you are still very weak, you all still need a lot of strength, you need My supply of grace as long as you still live on earth .... And therefore I admonish you time and again to seek the bond with Me, to turn your thoughts towards Me and to appeal to Me for strength and light .... And truly, I will not let any such prayer go unheard, for I Myself am only waiting for you to desire in order to then be able to give you Myself in abundance .... For I want to give you love, through My illumination of love I want to give you light and help you to make the right use of your earthly life, so that you will live according to My will and thereby become blissfully happy. I give you love if only you want to accept it, but I also demand love from you .... I want you to change yourselves into love and thus accept your original nature, because I .... as the eternal love .... can then also unite with you and this is the purpose and goal of your earthly life. But you are unable to accomplish this change of nature into love by your own strength, I have to supply you with strength and am also ready to do so at any time .... but your free will has to desire and accept it. It would truly be easy for Me to lead you to perfection if your free will did not have to be taken into consideration, but as a sign of your divine origin it may not be eliminated and which also only guarantees the final perfection .... And therefore I cannot provide you with strength of love and light against your will, yet I am constantly willing to do so and therefore only speak to you in order to encourage you to give Me your love and thus also your will. Then you will certainly reach your goal, for if only your will belongs to Me then I can provide you with My strength of love in an unusual way, and I can pour out My gifts of grace upon you to such an extent that a relapse into the abyss is impossible .... that you can cover the ascent to the ascent without effort, because I Myself constantly walk beside you and guide and support you, because I Myself constantly impart strength to you which enables you to easily overcome all obstacles. Just believe that I am always willing to give and only require your willingness to accept it .... and consciously open yourselves to Me for the acceptance of My inexhaustible flow of grace by only sincerely remembering Me and desiring to be united with Me. And truly, My flow of strength will flow through you and you will no longer feel weak, you will desire My presence ever more intimately and thus also already be able to be certain of My presence, for I, too, long for you, My children, and I will not rest until you, filled with love, devote yourselves to Me and want to be Mine for all eternity .... for My love is strength and it works as soon as it no longer finds resistance .... And your heartfelt devotion to Me proves to Me that you no longer resist Me .... and thus I can take hold of you with My love, which will now also never leave you again ....

Amen

Establishing the right relationship with God ....

B.D. 8173 from May 9th 1962, taken from Book No. 86

Only one thing is decisive for you, how you relate to Me, your God and creator of eternity, during your earthly life .... You can go through earthly life without any faith in Me, and then you will only move in material thinking, you will only move in the world which belongs to My adversary, and then you will also belong to him and also remain his property, because he has a right to you and your will alone also secures him this right .... And then you will put your earthly existence as a human being on hold in vain, you will not take a step upwards in your development but rather be in danger of sinking into the abyss again, because matter keeps you bound, because all your thinking and wanting applies to this matter and therefore it will also become your lot again .... that you will become matter again, which you had long since overcome .... But you can also learn to recognize your God and creator during your earthly life, you can believe in Him, you can recognize yourselves as having come forth from Him, and then you will also let your thoughts dwell in My kingdom more often .... you will reflect and have the will to walk the right path, you will consciously renounce all evil, you will want to be good, and thus you will now also direct your thoughts towards Me, your God and creator, Whom you recognize as father and desire to be united with Him .... And then you yourselves have granted Me the power to assert My right over you; then the world, i.e. earthly matter, no longer satisfies you, you then enter a path which leads into the spiritual kingdom .... you seek contact with Me and you will also establish it, because then I Myself will constantly intervene in your thoughts, because I will no longer leave you once you believe that you have emerged from the might and strength of the one Who is lord over heaven and earth, over life and death .... Then you will no longer sever your bond with this creator you have recognized, and you will also soon establish the right relationship with Him .... the relationship of a child with its father .... And then I will never let you leave Me again, then you will no longer be able to sink back into the abyss, then you will also successfully put your earthly life behind you, this will result in the upward development of your soul, you will mature and accomplish the change of nature in yourselves: You become love again and unite with Me as it was in the beginning .... Thus you yourselves choose and prepare your fate after your earthly life, which can be an exceedingly blissful one in the spiritual kingdom but also an inconceivably agonising state in bondage .... the renewed banishment in the works of creation on earth, so that you will nevertheless one day ascend again, so that you will not eternally remain in the state of death .... Time and again I present to you humans the responsibility you bear on earth and the fate you can face .... that you prepare it for yourselves through your will, but that I cannot necessarily guide this will of yours into the right direction. But time and again I find a way to instruct you of this .... Time and again I approach you and speak to you, and I also approach the worldly people and draw their attention in a different way to a power to Which they are also subject and Which they cannot deny if only they seriously think about it .... For I don't want one of My living creations to get lost, I don't want to prolong the state of torment but neither can I prevent them if they themselves strive towards it due to their wrong direction of will, due to their bond with My adversary, whom they too could truly recognize if only they seriously demanded the truth .... And time and again I will address people, no matter in what way; time and again I will make them aware of the transience of material goods and time and again reveal Myself to them .... Yet their will I will not force, for only free will can make the final decision .... to turn away from My adversary and return to Me, from Whom every being once took its origin ....

Amen

Divine revelations spread light ....

B.D. 8174 from May 10th 1962, taken from Book No. 86

My spirit is always willing to empty itself, for people need a light because they live in complete darkness and a light can only be kindled for them by Me Myself. For I am the eternal light which constantly radiates into infinity and thus also into the dark regions of earth where the lord of darkness reigns and therefore also wants to prevent a light from shining into this region. But the inhabitants of this earth, the people, who are therefore without light because they are without bond with Me, from Whom the light emanates, take Me. And I use every opportunity where the bond with Me is consciously established and then shine a light to earth. But then you humans must also perceive the light, you must feel a brightness in which you can now also recognize everything .... because the light breaks through all darkness which weighs upon you. This is the spiritual darkness which surrounds you humans as long as My adversary still has you under his control .... This is the ignorance of all spiritual correlations .... the ignorance of My nature .... of your beginning and your goal .... of your earthly task. It is the spiritual darkness, the lack of knowledge, which is truly not a blissful state for you. And what now contributes towards you becoming enlightened about these spiritual problems is for you a 'light' .... it is a knowledge which truthfully informs you about yourselves and about the connection with your God and creator .... As long as you have little or no knowledge of this you will still walk in spiritual darkness, and then you will not be able to speak of a light which was kindled for you by Me. And then you will also find yourselves in the hardship of the soul which, without the right light from Me, will not find the path which leads upwards, back to Me, back into the father's house. And thus you know that you first have to seriously establish the bond with Me so that a ray of light of love can touch your heart which will then also kindle the right light in you .... Knowledge must be made accessible to you, and this can only happen from My side, because I alone know everything and can therefore also reveal everything to you if I deem it necessary for your soul's salvation .... And where such knowledge is conveyed to earth, thus My spirit is active there, there you will also be able to speak of an obvious working in the human being, who now constantly increases in wisdom, in knowledge which corresponds to truth .... If you now want to test 'revelations' for their value, if you want to ascertain whether those revelations have their origin in Me Myself, free yourselves from all prejudice and only test the receptions for the depth of wisdom, for the degree of knowledge which is imparted to you through them .... Do they really give you light? .... Do they increase your knowledge? .... Do they make connections clear to you that were previously unknown to you? .... Is My essence revealed to you? .... Do you come to know your original state, your apostasy from Me and your reformation? .... Are you being introduced to My plan of salvation from eternity and are you learning the purpose of creation and your existence on earth? .... You lost all knowledge through your former apostasy from Me and also entered this earth as a human being in this lightless state .... And if I want to give you a light, this means that you will gain knowledge again of everything that once happened in the spirit kingdom and of My plan of return, so that you will now lead your earthly life responsibly, so that in the light of truth you will also recognize the right path you have to take in order to reach the final goal on this earth: to unite with the father and to live and work in blissful communion with Him for all eternity. Precisely because I want to achieve this goal but this requires your free will, My most eager endeavour is to give you light again about what you were, what you are and should become again .... And precisely for this reason I reveal Myself to you so that you will find your way out of the state of spiritual darkness .... And only pure truth can bring this about, and this in turn can only be supplied to you by the eternal truth itself through the spirit .... And thus the 'working of the spirit in the human being' only ever means that he is 'introduced' to the truth .... that a light is kindled for him, because he is in spiritual darkness as long as he is not given truthful knowledge which can now also be evaluated as 'divine revelation', because it rises from within the human being himself, because it is the 'manifestation of My spirit in the human being' which now also proves the originator of it .... Who reveals Himself .... Where only a heart opens and frees itself from all spiritual knowledge, where I can let My light of love shine in unhindered, there profound wisdom will also come to light; it will be possible to speak of knowledge gained, ignorance will give way and a body of thought will be ascertainable which the human being has never possessed before and which gives him enlightenment which was not conveyed from person to person but which was given to him by Me because I Myself was able to work in him through My spirit .... And therefore examine everything for its outcome, for truth is only with Me alone, and truth alone is the light which illuminates the darkness and which you need in order to fulfil your purpose of earthly life ....

Amen

Truth of the end prophecies ....

B.D. 8175 from May 12th 1962, taken from Book No. 86

If I repeatedly inform you of what lies ahead of you .... if I constantly point out to you the time of tribulation .... if I predict a great judgment which will be followed by the end of this earth shortly afterwards, then you can accept this announcement of Mine as truth, for I only repeat what has always already been predicted about the end of this earth and I now only inform you that all these events are imminent, that the time has come when all My prophecies will come true, to the sorrow of all those who do not believe. You should not approach the future without being warned, and you should know that the 'future', into which you transfer the end, will soon have become the 'present'. And you should reckon with the fact that you will be surprised, that you will not have much time left and that I will therefore send you these announcements time and again, because I don't want you to experience everything that is to come unprepared, because I don't want to leave you in ignorance of the time in which you live. I know that all My announcements through seers and prophets will find little faith; I know that people will ridicule all messengers, that they will accuse them of being false prophets .... Yet not long time will pass and they will be able to convince themselves of the truth of what My prophets proclaim to people on My behalf. It has never been believed when great changes occurred on earth, when a redemption period came to an end and a new one began again .... And then it was always only a few who believed My messengers and who therefore were also saved .... But the knowledge of past all-changing events is also hidden from people, the times are endlessly long until such an earthly change happens again .... And that is why people have no evidence and now also consider an end of the old form of this earth to be impossible. And yet you humans are close to it, for I know when a transformation is necessary, I know when people have reached the spiritual low which necessitates such a transformation .... Yet I can do nothing other than send you information about it .... which you can then accept or reject, because you have to live in complete freedom of will until the end and even certain knowledge would not be beneficial for your salvation .... But you should think about the fact that I do not send you these announcements without reason .... and you should always remember that your God and creator is a God of love .... and that everything that happens is also based on My love. For this reason I also impart knowledge to you through My revelations which should open up your understanding for My plan of salvation, and then you would also believe that the time is fulfilled, that one day the order has to be established again into which all people shall enter in order to mature spiritually .... and that the possibility of upward development must also be created for the spiritual substances which are still bound in solid matter, for all spiritual substances shall one day reach perfection, and I alone know how this is possible and when the right time has come for everything to be redirected again .... And I keep the time as it is determined in My plan of salvation from eternity ....

Amen

Death and life ....

B.D. 8176 from May 13th 1962, taken from Book No. 86

To the dead I will give life .... and dead are all of you who once separated yourselves from Me in free will and have not yet taken the path of return to Me, which you did in the last stage on this earth .... as a human being .... have to do. Admittedly, the separation from Me has only been voluntarily accomplished by you, for you can no longer separate from Me eternally because you are imperishable and thus your fundamental substance is strength from Me .... Yet you must also willingly turn to Me again and strive for unification with Me, only then will you live again, then you will have emerged from the state of death, of weakness, and receive unmeasured strength from Me again. And this willful return to Me has to take place in earthly life where you are in possession of free will again and where you are also given a small light for which purpose you walk the earth. I want to give you life again, but you must accept it in free will .... you must desire to live, you must feel the state of death as wretchedness and seek to become free from it, and you must seek life from Me Who alone can give it to you .... For I alone can supply you with the strength you need in order to lead a right life again, as it was in the beginning .... to be able to create and work in My will. Death is a state of wretchedness brought into the world by My adversary who rejected My strength of love and thereby became weak and powerless himself, who himself succumbed to death. But I Myself am the epitome of life, for the strength which cannot remain inactive and therefore wants to flow through everything that is still dead in order to awaken it to life flows out of Me unstoppably. But this strength, too, only becomes effective within the framework of divine lawfulness .... i.e., it must not encounter resistance. And resistance is conscious turning away from Me, conscious rejection of My flow of love-power. Then the dead remains in its state and remains inactive and also unhappy, for only activity is life, and only life is bliss .... But I will not cease to illuminate the dead with My strength of love, and sometimes I even succeed in causing it to give up its resistance, which already allows a faint life to become recognizable. In the stage as a human being My flow of strength of love seeks to touch the human heart in order to induce it to open itself of its own free will and thus to receive My illumination .... And thus I try to kindle a small light in the human being's heart by influencing his thoughts so that he reflects on himself and his origin. He can unwillingly reject such thoughts but he can also move them within himself and let them be followed by further thoughts, and then I can also mentally enlighten him as far as his will allows. And thus he can slowly come to life, for I only ever try to gain influence over his will, and as soon as it no longer resists Me the human being has also started the return path to Me, he detaches himself from the state of death and slowly comes to life, because My strength can now no longer remain ineffective as soon as the resistance is broken .... Death entered the world through My adversary who closed himself to My illumination of love and also persuaded his followers to resist Me and repel My strength of love .... They resisted life and death was now their fate .... After an infinitely long time of bound will the free will could be given back to the dead again, and it was now faced with the choice again to accept My divine strength of love or to reject it once more. But in order to be able to make this decision a small light had to be kindled for the lifeless one, which now entered the stage as a human being, wherein its earthly task consists: that it should come to life again, that it should escape the state of death .... And I Myself kindled this small light in the human being, yet it has to be heeded and made to shine in free will, then it will shine ever brighter and quite clearly show the human being the path which leads to life .... And then the human being himself will open his heart and let My ray of love flow into him, and he will have escaped death and also the one who brought death into the world through his open resistance against Me .... So man must voluntarily give up his resistance and desire My stream of light and strength, and truly .... he will come to life and no longer lose this life eternally ....

Amen

Acceptance of the stream of grace ....

B.D. 8177 from May 14th 1962, taken from Book No. 86

A flow of grace of utmost significance has flowed to earth but its value is not recognized. My love has overlooked all people's shortcomings and given them an undeserved gift, and this gift could suffice to remedy the shortcomings and lead people to perfection. Yet this gift of grace is not valued, people pass it by and remain unimpressed by a gift which is extremely effective if its effectiveness is permitted by people's will .... A spiritual low has occurred and I turn the best antidote to people which could help them to reach the highest level if only they would use it .... And only very few recognize the value of My gift of grace and allow themselves to be helped into beatitude. And the time is approaching its end, people are in the last time of grace and don't recognize the flow of grace which flows to them from above to impart strength and light to them. And they need both if they want to survive this end without harm, if they want to enter the kingdom of peace and beatitude before the end of the earth or if they want to belong to those who survive the end and are brought to the new earth .... And people can no longer be pointed to this end in any other way than through My word which sounds to them from above, which is truly the greatest gift of grace for them because it could bring them salvation from utmost spiritual adversity if only they would accept it and let it take effect on them. Yet they don't believe, and thus they will meet an end with terror, because I cannot compulsorily direct their will, because they decide for themselves and I don't prevent them from doing so .... But I will not cease to send My messengers to them, I will send My word to those whose hearts I also recognize as receptive and willing, who willingly allow My flow of grace to flow into them and with it receive the strength to change according to My will. And again it is up to every individual soul how it uses My gift of grace, for every individual soul can contribute to the salvation of its fellow human beings if it also passes on My word to them, if it feels driven from within to point its fellow human beings to the love of a God and creator Who wants to be a father to people, Who wants to save them from greatest spiritual adversity before the end comes. And I will truly always be with My blessing with those who work for Me and My kingdom, who want to convey to their fellow human beings what moves them themselves, and I will also guide them along the paths where they meet like-minded souls who now strive towards Me together. I would like to help every person to come to the realization before the end why he walks across the earth. Yet most people still oppose Me, which I will not break by force. And therefore My gift of grace is also not recognized but rejected, and I have to let this happen because I don't force the will .... Yet I bless every voluntary service, for you humans can sometimes make it easier for yourselves to gain access to fellow human beings; you are more likely to be listened to if you inform them of Me and My word, and spiritual conversations can be held which enable My beings of light to intervene or penetrate people's thoughts .... For every possibility is exploited which still promises success, which can still save a soul from ruin, from a new banishment into matter when the end has come. And if people would take note of what is about to happen to them .... they would believe in My word which is conveyed to them from above, then they would truly not be lost, for then they would also receive strength for a changed way of life, they would recognize Me Myself and take the path to Me and then also be saved for all eternity .... For I only require your bond with Me in this earthly life, which is equal to the right decision of will, that you turn away from My adversary and consciously take the path to Me .... Then you will have escaped the deepest darkness, and then an ascent into the kingdom of the beyond will also be certain for you, if you have not yet reached such a high degree of maturity on earth .... But then you will no longer be able to descend into the abyss because you turned to Me, Who created you as a product of My love ....

Amen

Isolation of God's servants through suffering .... Recovery ....

B.D. 8178 from May 15th 1962, taken from Book No. 86

Your earthly task lies in service, which you should fulfil of your own free will. Love should determine you, love for Me or for your neighbour should be the driving force of your will and actions, and then every activity will also be blessed. And if love impels you to serve Me then you can also be certain that I will accept your service, for only then can a blessing sprout from your activity of service, regardless of what kind of activity it is. And if you then offer yourselves to Me for work in My vineyard, then you are truly welcome servants to Me whom I need and will use where your work is needed. But then the human being may no longer think of himself, he must place himself entirely at My service, and that means complete renunciation of the world, it means a constant dwelling in spiritual spheres, even if the human being is still in the midst of the world, even if he still has to meet earthly requirements, for I Myself will then take care of these for him, so that he nevertheless feels free from earthly fetters, that he can dwell in spiritual spheres even if he still lives on earth. You will now also learn to understand why I Myself limit the earthly sphere of activity of those who have entered My service .... You will learn to understand why I keep them back from the world, why I often isolate a good servant when I need his vineyard work, when I only want him to move in spiritual regions so that he can do all the work .... And then you no longer ask about sufferings of various kinds which are imposed on those vineyard labourers who are to fulfil a mission on earth .... Rather, you see the evidence precisely in this that I Myself have chosen those servants because I need strong forces but the world weakens every servant, for it will always hold him back from diligent vineyard work, the world will always somehow interfere and confuse the senses of anyone who wants to serve Me and does not completely detach himself from it. Yet you, in turn, should know that I Myself determine the extent to which a servant shall serve Me .... that I Myself provide him with strength as long as I require his services and that I Myself also put an end to his activity when his task is fulfilled .... And thus My constant supply of strength can also be expected with certainty where this service is obvious to Me .... For it is I alone Who determines life and death .... And I alone also know whose services I still need before the end and when his time has come where he now serves Me in the spiritual kingdom .... But I also know what success his vineyard work will bring Me .... I know how important this vineyard work is because people live in the time of the end, and therefore I will also promote everything that can result in the salvation of even just one soul .... Then My might will also appear again and again, which can also help the sick person to recover again if this enables vineyard work again which can rescue human souls from the abyss .... But then I will work completely hidden so that people will not be forced to believe .... But I am always ready with My strength where it is needed. You should only believe that I require your services if they are offered to Me in serving love .... If you want to help, this will to help will always earn you strength, if serving love drives you to your activity then the strength is already in you, for love is strength which will always express itself and which also enables you to serve Me, for My blessing will rest on every work done for Me .... And My strength will always fill you when love impels you to serve Me and your neighbour .... no matter in what activity your service consists ....

Amen

Great power of the opponent by God ....

B.D. 8179 from May 16th 1962, taken from Book No. 86

You will still often be attacked and then you should always be armed and feel strong in Me and My security. The adversary has great power, for this is granted to him by people themselves; but he will not be able to bring you down who consciously stand on My side. But you don't realize how easily he can slip in, and therefore you should only be vigilant and pray that you don't fall into temptation .... He will also confuse your thoughts so that you will no longer be able to recognize the truth correctly yourselves, yet the sincere desire for truth will clarify your thinking and let you recognize the truth time and again. The path to Me is always open to you, and if you take this path you call Me Myself to your side, and then his activity will be invalidated, for he flees Me Myself because he cannot tolerate My light. Yet I cannot deny him the right to fight for your souls because you once voluntarily followed him to the depth .... And he makes good use of his right .... But it is up to you whether you submit to him or whether you seek My presence .... And this decision determines your fate, it determines your maturing, it determines your knowledge .... For whom you aspire to as your lord also provides you with the treasures He Himself possesses: light in abundance or darkness .... And you must always seriously consider whether you desired the light during your earthly life and still desire it .... or whether it was and is indifferent to you, whether you move in truth. And truly, anyone who desires the light of truth will also have it shine upon him, and My adversary will neither be able to prevent this light nor extinguish it, because light emanates from Me and cannot be used by My adversary against Me Myself. Hence you need not fear the adversary, for you yourselves determine his influence on you, you yourselves determine to what extent he can work on you through your will. But in earthly life you are not always aware of the direction of your will .... You can enter spiritual ground and yet not have so firmly established the bond with Me; you can only want to gain insight into spiritual realms and not yet be so firmly united with Me through loving activity or heartfelt prayer that I can now protect you from all error, for the intellect can also try to fathom spiritual realms and the heart can still be completely uninvolved in them. And then you can also be deceived, because My adversary can still intervene if My light does not push him away .... but this light is My flow of strength of love which requires the most intimate contact with Me in order to be able to flow into a person's heart. And you must seriously give account to yourselves as to whether the most intimate child relationship with Me existed or exists, which guarantees brightest light and also the rejection of the one who shuns every light from Me .... I give the truth to everyone who earnestly desires it .... And often a long time passes because this desire is not serious enough .... Yet no human being needs to fall prey to error because I want you humans to walk in the light, yet neither can you deviate from My conditions which demand the supply of truth. However, I will by no means forcibly influence a person such that he establishes this intimate contact with Me, for that is My adversary's right to be able to influence a person equally during his earthly lifetime, and he will also try everything in order not to lose control over a soul .... but he cannot force you either and My protection is certain for those who turn to Me of their own free will. He truly struggles for his followers to remain with him and especially in the last days because then his power will be withdrawn for a long time .... Yet you humans can limit his power yourselves, you humans are not powerless in the face of him because My act of salvation places strength at your disposal as soon as you request it from Jesus Christ, Who sheltered Me within Himself and defeated My adversary through the death on the cross .... You are not defencelessly at his mercy, you need only turn to Jesus and appeal to Him for increased will and strength and he will lose control over you, he will certainly be able to tempt you but you possess the strength to resist him. Hence you will then consciously stand by My side, and then you will also recognize him in the light of truth and his shameful game of deceiving people where it is possible for him .... the light will expose him, for the light emanates from Me Whom he flees ....

Amen

About the doctrine of re-incarnation ....

B.D. 8180 from May 17th 1962, taken from Book No. 86

I can reveal Myself to you through the voice of the spirit if you genuinely desire to be taught by Me. I only want you to live in truth, that your thinking will not take the wrong direction, that you will not be so influenced by misguided teachings from the one who wants to undermine the truth, because it enlightens you by highlighting him and his activity. Accept, therefore, what I say to you through My spirit: it should be understandable to you that My adversary will do everything possible to keep you in spiritual darkness in which he has absolute control over you, for as soon as you know the truth you are lost to him .... Hence he will always direct your thoughts wrongly .... and every wrong thought will result in a thousand others, and thus he will see to it that the knowledge about the purpose and meaning of your earthly life will be withheld from you, that you will form an entirely wrong idea about your earthly task, and he will try to keep you indifferent towards all spiritual endeavour .... He tries to maintain your love for the world and therefore will also always present a repetition of earthly life as being desirable and even provide evidence for it, for it will weaken your striving for perfection as soon as you believe that you will be allowed to return to earth time and again if you have not yet reached perfection.

This concept is My adversary's most favourite method and is the reason why the doctrine of re-incarnation has become so popular, and it is difficult to discard it because My adversary works very skilfully in order to substantiate the credibility of this teaching. Yet no one needs to succumb to his trickery, for as soon as he seriously desires to know the truth and turns to Me he will recognise the foolishness of what he was presented with and will also clearly feel the truth in his heart, he will feel resentment at what has emerged from My adversary, for his sincere desire for truth will also guarantee that he will receive it .... Lots of people yield to his influence in this matter, because people themselves want to return to earth because their love for the world is still too strong and the idea that they can repeat their earthly life is comforting to them .... Yet time and again you are told that you, who believe in re-incarnation, were misled .... although there are isolated cases which have their special reasons but which must not be generalised. For My eternal plan of Salvation truly incorporates all possibilities which guarantee your full maturity throughout one earthly life .... for you can overcome every weakness yourselves, since I died for you on the cross to gain strength of will on your behalf and you can at all times call upon Me in Jesus, the Redeemer from sin and death, and then you will also be able to reach the degree on earth which will assure your entry into the kingdom of light .... where you can ascend to never-ending heights since there will be no more limitation for you ....

If you, however, don't use your earthly life and enter the kingdom of the beyond unredeemed, then a repeated embodiment on earth would be of no use to you either, for you will keep your free will but your past memory will be taken away from you, and then you will be in far greater danger of descending further, which will never be encouraged but prevented by Me. And if you can already become enlightened on earth by being informed of your past apostasy from Me and My plan of return, then you can also clearly see the path which you have to cover in order to perfect yourselves, and then you will also realise that the doctrines promising you a repeated earthly life are misguided teachings, for they contradict My eternal plan of Salvation, which has been established by Me in all wisdom and love in order to enable your release from the form which, however, requires your free will. And in order that your will shall make the right decision I Myself shall time and again impart the truth to you if you ask for it, if you desire to live in truth. Yet you should also understand that My adversary will use all the power you give to him .... that he will offer you wrong teachings as long as you don't reject his activity by genuinely desiring the truth .... Yet he will never be able to impose his error where I, as the Eternal Truth, Am asked for protection against error .... for then he will be completely ineffective, since the light which is directly emanating from Me will unmask him and he will therefore always take flight from this light ....

Amen

The power of the word becomes effective when resistance is broken ....

B.D. 8181 from May 18th 1962, taken from Book No. 86

My word certainly reaches you, and this word is blessed with My strength .... yet it cannot become effective where it is not willingly accepted from Me, where the human being is not willing to let himself be addressed by Me. And even the slightest resistance is enough, the slightest prejudice towards My word or the recipient of the word is enough for it to lose its effectiveness, because it will never forcibly have an effect on a person. And resistance is already present when My word is doubted, for once all resistance against Me has been broken people expect My address, then they are delighted to receive words of comfort and grace, words of love and wisdom from Me. And then they also recognize My word as the voice of the father Who speaks to His child ..... Thus I want to point out to you that you should voluntarily open your hearts to Me so that My ray of love can strike you, that is, your hearts will feel addressed and touched by Me when My word is brought close to you. And then it will work on you with great strength. People who desire My word, who eagerly await My word even if it is conveyed to them through messengers, will all receive great blessings, their souls will attain maturity, they will be able to register inner peace and feel secure in their father's love, for their hearts are open to Me: .... I can enter them and take supper with them, and the effect of My word will then be obvious to them because their love will ignite ever brighter and because their faith will become ever more alive, so that they will now live their earthly life closely united with Me, that they will always confidently wait for My help and truly cover their earthly life successfully for their souls. All of you could reach the goal through the strength of My word, all of you could become profound in love and faith and thereby also achieve unity with Me, which is your actual purpose of earthly life. But then you must also long to be addressed by your father, you must take the path to Me yourselves .... first deal with Me, your God and creator, in your thoughts and then feel inwardly driven to approach Me .... You must consciously give Me your will and then I will also be able to speak to you, and you will feel that the words conveyed to you are divine words and will no longer want to miss these words. For I will always speak to you humans such that your hearts will be touched if you voluntarily open them to Me and thus I Myself can enter you. I will always speak to you such that you will understand and desire to hear more .... I will give you food and drink, that is, what you need to build up your soul: a true bread of heaven and a fresh water of life .... and My word will then also be beneficial to you, you will be able to draw strength and light from it .... you will receive the banquet at My table from Me Myself and be delighted because of My love and grace, which gives you so abundantly .... But you must always have given up your resistance first, and that means as much as that you give Me your will, that you desire to be united with Me .... that you feel like My children and long for the father's address .... You must understand that I only ever require you to turn your will towards Me, for your original sin consisted of consciously turning away from Me, which also took place of your own free will .... And you shall pass the last test of will in earthly life after an infinitely long course of development from the deepest depth to existence as a human being .... You must not fail and sink back again. For I long for you, My children, because I love you and this love will never cease. Yet you will only pass your test of will when you give up all resistance against Me, when you believe in Me as your God and father and then hand yourselves over to Me in order to hear Me and My word, when you want Me to speak to you Myself and you move every word of Mine in your heart, recognize My will and act accordingly. Then My word will truly work on you with great strength .... Then you will reach your goal in a short time, you will be close to Me again as it was in the beginning, and you will voluntarily return to your father's house which you once voluntarily left ....

Amen

The house-father provides for His servants ....

B.D. 8182 from May 19th 1962, taken from Book No. 86

The servant should not worry, for his householder takes care of him .... He shall only ever carry out his master's orders with all loyalty and willingness, and I Myself will place these into his heart so that he will always know what he has to do or not do. And his whole earthly life will also be shaped in accordance with the mission for which he has entrusted himself to Me, for as soon as his will consciously submits itself to Me there will be no other will in him but Mine. And therefore whatever you want may come upon you .... I know this, and I Myself allow it, I Myself shape your earthly life and also arrange all events as they are beneficial for Me and My kingdom .... And you need only know that you are guided by Me and willingly do whatever seems advisable to you, for then it has also been given to you by Me and has its purpose and meaning. And thus I also allow hostilities by My adversary if he uses people who obey his influence .... I allow them but I also protect you, especially when it concerns keeping My word from becoming clouded or extinguished. For My power is truly greater than My adversary's power, as soon as I only possess your will that it belongs to Me completely .... only I warn you, My servants, to anticipate and perform actions for which I have not given you a mandate .... you really do not need to ponder what to do when you are faced with a matter that troubles you .... Let everything take its course and wait and see .... For then it will always come about according to My will, and then you will also know how you should behave because you will be inwardly urged to do the right thing. You, who want to serve Me, you can believe that this will to serve relieves you of all responsibility of your own, that you will be guided from the start and that your complete devotion to Me will truly be rewarded by Me Myself regulating everything for you, but also give your thoughts the right direction, for even if you possess free will, this free will has nevertheless completely subordinated itself to Mine through your devotion to Me and then you will not be able to want or think anything other than what flows to you mentally from Me. And therefore you should also go your earthly path calmly and serenely, you should let everything approach you, for it will come about as it is My will, which you could not oppose after all, because your path of life is also fatefully determined. But the devotion of your will is involved in the shaping of your earthly path of life. And thus it can only be successfully covered by you .... and you need not worry yourselves, for I will guide you to the right goal .... And also the activity for Me and My kingdom, the vineyard work, for which you have offered yourselves to Me, will be carried out as it is My will, because you feel inwardly driven and now also do not resist Me when I take over the steering and give you the instructions through the heart .... Only believe that I need your services .... Believe that there is truly great spiritual hardship on earth which has to be alleviated by people who are devoted to Me, because I Myself cannot obviously influence people. Believe that you can provide this help and that I will use you where I need you .... believe that I Myself will also supply you with the people you should help, and that you can always be certain of My support if a work of salvation can be carried out on people who are still under My adversary's control. And you will always experience My blessing, I will strengthen you in body and soul, you will be allowed to experience My loving care, for I Myself take care of all those who serve Me as faithful servants in the last days before the end ....

Amen

God answers questions ....

B.D. 8183 from May 21st 1962, taken from Book No. 86

You shall constantly be allowed to receive from My treasure of grace, for without grace you cannot become blessed .... And My love longs for you, I want to lead My children back to Me again and therefore have to grant them a measure of grace which is unlimited, because they are weak and have to be strengthened by Me. And since I know My living creations, since I know every person's will as soon as he walks across earth as a self-aware being again, I will also always provide them with the right means to help them become blessed. I will instruct them correctly which path they should take in order to reach the goal, and I will also make this path brightly recognizable to them so that they will find it and walk it, so that they will not strive towards the abyss again from which they have worked their way up with My help in order to now pass the last test of will on earth. For people are blind in spirit when they start earthly life, and they can only experience enlightenment of their spirit from Me Myself; My spiritual spark .... which is part of the father-spirit of eternity, must let a light shine in them, and they must attain a measure of knowledge which clearly and comprehensibly opens up their earthly task for them .... Then they will also strive to fulfil this earthly task, and then they will reach their goal .... Now I Myself know what knowledge a person needs in order to help his soul mature on earth, I know where it is still dark in him and what knowledge has to be imparted to him if it is to be a blessing for the human being's soul. And I will also impart this knowledge to him, and always in the form which the human being himself allows through his will. He can submit any question to Me himself and I…. if he is serious and also makes himself worthy of My answer through a way of life according to My will .... will place the answer into his heart, that is, his thoughts will be guided such that he will recognize it as truth; thus they will satisfy him .... however, only ever if he has first sincerely turned to Me Myself and asks Me for enlightenment of his spirit, for a correct answer to his question, and then also listens within or pays attention to which thoughts are now flowing towards him. In this way every person can be instructed by Me himself through the spirit which only seriously desires the truth and is in intimate contact with Me .... If I now convey My word to earth, i.e. if I make truthful knowledge accessible to people, because this is necessary in order to lead darkened humanity out of spiritual darkness .... because it is in great spiritual hardship if the truth is not conveyed to it .... so I will always make the knowledge accessible to people which they need in order to mature their souls .... I will instruct them through a tool which serves Me out of love for Me and for their neighbour .... And I truly know what they need in order to walk the right path, for they shall first learn to recognize Me Myself, they shall know about My being, Which is love, wisdom and power in Itself and Which, with the right knowledge, they can also love .... For this is My will and My goal, to win My living creations' love so that they will find their way back to Me again, from Whom they once voluntarily separated and thereby fell into the abyss .... Therefore, whatever helps people to recognize Me correctly I will also reveal to them when I convey the truth to earth. I will distribute all gifts of grace which people need to become blessed .... What they don't receive from Me, therefore, they don't need, shall either remain hidden from you or cause you to establish the bond with Me yourselves and approach Me Myself for inner enlightenment .... And if I deem it beneficial for you I will grant your requests, for I do not deny Myself to any of My children because I am love and love always wants to bestow itself .... providing it is for people's blessing what they desire. And time itself will inform you, for you are standing in the last days and you will be able to if you pay attention .... also recognize all signs which point to the near end. And everyone who lives a spiritual life next to his earthly life .... anyone who seriously strives towards Me will also know the time in which he lives, and therefore he will devote himself to Me ever more intimately and also be allowed to receive a bright light from Me .... For the time is approaching its end and you humans can only join Me ever more closely so as not to need to fear this end .... For then you will belong to My own, whom I will bless with grace without limit, and you will now also 'become blessed by grace' ....

Amen

God's commission to the disciples of the end times .... Work of redemption ....

B.D. 8184 from May 22nd 1962, taken from Book No. 86

And on My behalf you should go out into the world .... to proclaim the gospel .... Thus was My commission to My disciples, whom I Myself instructed on earth, in everything they were to proclaim again to men .... And this is also My command to you today, My faithful servants, that you diligently carry out the work for Me and My kingdom and that you thus take care of the spreading of My gospel, which I Myself guide to earth .... For it is necessary that people are instructed in the truth, and it is necessary that they come to know about the mission of the man Jesus, about His act of salvation and about My human manifestation in Him .... An earth period comes to an end, and during this period I Myself descended in the man Jesus, in a soul of light which embodied itself on earth as a human being .... I Myself accomplished the work of salvation in order to redeem humanity from sin and death .... No long time has passed since I walked across earth as a human being .... and yet people have little or no knowledge anymore, Jesus' earthly life, which ended with His death on the cross, is a questionable event for them which they give little or no credence to. And they are completely ignorant of the significance of a unique act of mercy, and they are increasingly more doubtfully instructed, so that they also find it increasingly more difficult to believe in Jesus Christ as the son of God and redeemer of the world .... And therefore I send you, My last disciples, out again to win people for Jesus Christ, to make their faith easy when they are instructed in all truth .... I commission you again to go out, for He is truly their saviour from sin and death .... He must not be passed over, He must be acknowledged and asked for forgiveness of the guilt of sin which burdens every human being or he would not walk this earth. Whatever you, My faithful servants, can do in order to inform your fellow human beings of Him, the divine redeemer Jesus Christ, you should do and not slacken in your vineyard work, and I will truly bless you for it, for people are in greatest spiritual hardship who do not take the path to Him if He has not granted them the forgiveness of their original guilt, which only the divine redeemer Jesus Christ, in Whom I embodied Myself, can bestow upon them .... Believe it, you My servants on earth, that you can still render Me great services yourselves if only you ensure that My word is conveyed to the world, which is directly conveyed to you by Me, for through this word I convey truthful knowledge to all of you which gives you a bright light and also opens up to you the understanding for Jesus Christ and His act of salvation, which was lost to people because they took notice of Him in a completely distorted form and therefore lost faith in Him and the act of salvation. For this reason I convey the pure truth to earth again and ensure that people receive information about the spiritual correlations so that they learn to believe again and take the path to Him, so that they go to the cross and carry their guilt of sin to the cross .... because otherwise they cannot find redemption and cannot enter the kingdom of light without the redemption of the original sin either .... For this reason I commission you again and again to bring light to people, to inform them of My working on you and of the truth which is thereby imparted to you humans .... And if they know the significance of the act of salvation for people's salvation, then the well-intentioned will nevertheless deal with Jesus in their thoughts and He Himself will then be able to influence them, i.e. I Myself will be able to intervene and give them ever brighter enlightenment .... But the first impetus has to come from you, because people, due to their unbelief, do not concern themselves much with Me or the divine redeemer Jesus Christ but can be stimulated by you into conversations of a spiritual nature. The people who serve Me as mediators, who help to spread My word, do an extremely beneficial work whose value they will only be able to assess in the kingdom of the beyond when they will be approached by the many souls who participate in the proclamation of My word, who were invisible to you and yet derived the greatest benefit from every kind of spiritual work, for whatever you do .... there will always be these souls around you who need food and drink for themselves and who can fetch the nourishment they need from you in order to mature .... For the divine redeemer Jesus Christ must also be proclaimed in the kingdom of the beyond so that the souls will find Him there if they did not find Him on earth and passed over into the spiritual kingdom burdened by their original sin. And the supply of truth is also necessary for them, for many of them were unable to find the divine redeemer on earth because no truthful image was developed for them and therefore they had no faith either. But the truth makes it easy for them to accept what they previously rejected .... And right faith can also come alive on earth through the supply of truth in people, for truth has strength within itself because it is from Me, and no being will ever be able to resist this strength, for it is love which touches all souls in the form of My word .... And to the strength of love all souls will once surrender, because love lets nothing be lost forever ....

Amen

Sacrificial death was not allowed to force into faith ....

B.D. 8185 from May 24th 1962, taken from Book No. 86

Also My sacrificial death on the cross was not allowed to lead inevitably to faith in My Divinity in the human being Jesus .... For even when Love Itself offered this sacrifice, although I Myself was in Him until His death, because He Himself had united completely with Me, nevertheless the “deity“ drew back in Him .... that’s to say, He suffered and died as a man, He no longer made use of His power, that He possessed by agreement with Me .... He, as man, has taken all suffering and pains upon Himself and thereby He has redeemed the huge guilt of sins, which burdened the whole mankind .... And so the crucifixion had to be a process, which took place quite human, because no one could be forced to believe and each unusual appearance would have meant such a constrained faith .... So many people were caught by a restlessness the crucifixion caused, some people were touched, and they were depressed by the judgment, which was carried out in a man, they did not hold guilty .... But that it was a sacrifice, that accomplished the Deity Itself in the man Jesus, therefore any proof lacked, and it had to be this way, because the acceptance of the grace of the act of salvation had to be an act of free will .... because otherwise the forgiveness of sin could not take place as by the voluntary surrender to Jesus and acknowledging of Himself, as Son of God and Savior of the world, in Whom the eternal Godhead had incarnated. No one may be compelled to believe, it should be free for every man, to acknowledge Jesus Christ as Savior of the world and to accept His grace victim. Therefore, even the death of Jesus was a very human event, that in no way influenced coercively on the people, who were present at His hour of death or later learned of it, too. And so the act of salvation of Jesus remains a matter for all the people , that they can believe, but also can doubt, because the right knowledge requires a certain progress of the soul, a turning to Me, Who they are able to recognize also in Jesus Christ. A person, who is still in the power of My opponent, will never believe in the act of salvation of Jesus Christ, and even if it would also be described truthfully .... For he will not believe it, because he is still under the influence of the opponent, who will do everything to prevent a redemption by Jesus Christ. And yet people can also win a very confident belief in Him, when they make it possible, that My spirit teaches them .... if they allow also My mental influence through a life in love by My will .... But then there are no external evidences, which convince the man of the truth of God’s mercy work, but then his ideas of truth will be directed correspondingly, and the man understands the connexions and the foundation of the sacrifice on the cross, and he can also believe without evidences. Each proof is and will remain a compulsory faith for the people; but it is the proof of free will the only decisive factor in life on earth, and so the people must decide freely for the acceptance and recognition of Jesus and His sacrifice on the cross .... The man is not compelled to accept, and therefore all events must be described in their truth, as it has really happened: as the sentencing of a criminal, who has been ordered to the most shameful death, to the death on the cross. With His power Jesus truly might have averted this death by Himself .... because He got the power by the complete union with Me .... but He made no longer use of it, because He wanted, to suffer the death as completely powerless, to give people help in a hardship, from which they themselves would not have got free .... But He could help them to freedom, He could clear the way to the Father, He could open them the gate to the kingdom of light, but always only, while He took a gigantic guilt upon Himself and thus went the way to the cross .... while He took a degree of suffering upon Himself, which would have suffered a man scarcely, if not the love had given Him the strength for it .... I Myself was love .... But He did not use this power, to get rid off His sufferings, but only to that, to be able to endure the suffering and the bitter death on the cross .... Because He wanted to redeem the mankind from sin and death .... That even My followers doubted about Me, was understandable, suddenly they saw Me exposed of all power, when they had to watch, how I was handled, as I did not defend Myself and did not apply the power, that they so often had been able to find in Me .... But then the sacrifice on the cross would not have been accomplished, and My path as a human being on the earth would have been useless, because, despite My teachings and instructions, the people would stay always in the weakness towards My enemy, for the unredeemed guilt of sins was the weakness, the burden, that was on the humanity, of which they could not be released by their own efforts .... And, for strengthening their will, I died on the cross, for strengthening their will, I took even the enormous burden of sin upon Myself and redeemed it through the most painful work of commiseration, that has ever taken place on this earth and will take place also never .... I died for all people of the past, the present and the future, but every man must recognize and accept this My act of salvation of his own free will, for then he also recognizes Myself, Whom he once has failed his recognition and for that he is plunged into the depth ....

Amen

Requirement of power in the end time ....

B.D. 8186 from May 26th 1962, taken from Book No. 86

And in these last days you will have to make special use of My gifts of grace, for you are weak and need much strength which, however, I will constantly let flow to you if only you want to accept it, if only you accept it from My hands as an extraordinary gift of My love which wants to help you because you are in great need. I know about every individual person's weakness and his inability to cope with the demands made on him out of his own strength; yet with My strength he will succeed in mastering even the most difficult situation, for if he makes use of My strength then all weakness will have left him, then he will have the strength to overcome everything and emerge victoriously from all adversity. But he will come into adversity where he sometimes needs strength and shall request it, because I will not leave him without help if only he sincerely appeals to Me for the granting of strength .... In the end time it will often be difficult to keep faith in My help and to trustingly come to Me in every adversity, for the end time belongs to My adversary and he truly makes good use of it by letting people get into all kinds of distress where they shall become hopeless because he wants them not to find the path to Me. But if they take the path to Me they will also be assured of all kinds of help, for I will not leave anyone in adversity of body or soul who trustingly turns to Me and appeals to Me for the supply of strength to remedy all hardship with My help .... My adversary wants to prevent this, and therefore he will press you more and more and also let you fall into states of weakness where you believe that you cannot get out of it anymore, and then you will become despondent and discouraged. But you should always be certain that you, as My servants, can turn to your father at any time, Who will always provide you with everything you need for body and soul. For it is precisely as labourers in His vineyard that the adversary wants to make you unfit, because then the redeemer's work will suffer a loss, which he only strives to achieve in order not to lose any of his followers. And always remember this and resist him by taking your path to Me from where help always comes to you. And I will truly reward you for your loyalty and perseverance, and you will visibly experience My help, you will feel that I Myself am present to you and bless you, My servants, every hour you are active for Me. And it shall be a spiritual and earthly blessing for you if only you trustingly submit your needs to Me, for who else could remedy them if not I, your God and father of eternity, Who is unsurpassable in His love, wisdom and might? .... And I will always prove this love, wisdom and power of Mine to you so that your faith will be strengthened and you will no longer fear any oppression from My adversary? .... What seems impossible I want to make possible, and where human strength comes to an end My strength only begins to work. And thus I reward you for your loyalty and devotion to Me if only you always serve Me according to My will, if you don't let your vineyard work be held back by the one who is My adversary and who opposes Me with his resistance and also wants to transfer it to you in order to prevent you from receiving and distributing light to people whom he has plunged into darkness and who need a light from Me in order to find their way back to Me again .... But he shall not succeed in this, for I know that your will is strong and that you want to serve Me with your love, and such labours of love will truly not be unsuccessful and he will lose followers, but I will gain souls and they will be saved from the abyss to which My adversary wants to push people because he has no love in him but only hatred .... But love is stronger than hatred, and love will triumph ....

Spiritual treasures in the kingdom beyond ....

B.D. 8187 from May 27th 1962, taken from Book No. 86

Truly the kingdom of light shall be opened to you when you exchange earthly life for life in the kingdom on the other side .... And then it will shine brightly around you and all darkness or twilight will have departed from you .... And then you will be able to radiate the light where you notice souls in darkness, where there is no happiness and no bliss, because only the light can prepare such, where My ray of light of love can shine and become effective without encountering resistance .... Then you will possess extensive knowledge, and now you can pass this knowledge on to those who are entirely without knowledge, who kept their hearts and ears closed on earth when the right knowledge, the truth from Me, was conveyed to them. My strength of love on earth met with resistance from them, and the result was that they did not receive a ray of light, that they themselves could not be permeated by light and that they will have to pass over into the kingdom of the beyond in a dark, darkened spiritual state when the hour of their earthly demise has come. Then they will be poor in spiritual possessions, they will have no spiritual treasures, they themselves will be poor in love, i.e. poor in light and poor in wisdom, poor in knowledge which alone can make them happy in the spiritual kingdom because it signifies the treasure of grace with which they can work and make souls happy again with light and strength which can now arise for them from the right knowledge from God. For you live on earth in order to gather spiritual treasures for your degree of bliss in the kingdom of the beyond, which you can use again for your own happiness. And therefore you should not pass by this unheard-of treasure of grace on earth .... for it is offered to all of you .... I know where hearts are found which are eager to accept such gifts of grace from Me, and I truly also direct My gifts of grace to these unmeasured .... I will not pass anyone by because I want them to become blissfully happy, so that they can enter the kingdom of light after the death of their body, because light alone signifies beatitude and light only consists of truthful knowledge which, however, I Myself have to impart to people because it cannot be gained on earth in any other way. And you should respect and appreciate this great gift of grace when it is offered to you, for I try to supply all you humans with the light which is intended to make you happy on earth already and one day in the kingdom of the beyond. Yet a true light can only come forth from Me, and therefore pay attention to whether and how a true light is kindled for you and check where it originated from, for whatever originates from Me must be a true light from heaven, it must make you happy, and thus it must be a treasure of grace of immeasurable value, for whatever originates from Me emanates from the eternal source of light and strength and can therefore never remain without effect; It must put you into a state of light and strength, which is therefore a state of bliss for you. And seek to gain this treasure of grace, open yourselves when this love of Mine wants to shine upon you, be willing to receive, and you will be allowed to receive without limitation, for it is My fatherly love which bestows such upon you. My love is truly without measure, and thus you will also be allowed to receive without limitation as long as you just open your hearts to receive the gifts of grace which flow to you from My fatherly love, because it wants to awaken your love in return, because I also want to find happiness through you, My children, whose love I always and constantly court, because you once emerged from My love and this love of Mine will never cease to long for its children in order to receive their love too .... For My love is endless and will never let you go forever ....

Amen

Spiritual and earthly turn ....

B.D. 8188 from May 30th 1962, taken from Book No. 86

The turning point has come, which must occur when humanity has reached a spiritual low that can no longer be surpassed .... But this turning point is to be understood spiritually and earthly .... A spiritual change has to be created, the development of the spiritual from the abyss to the ascent can no longer continue; everything has left divine order and this order first has to be restored so that earth can fulfil its task as a maturing station for the spiritual. And this requires a spiritual and an earthly transformation, for the earth is no longer up to this task, the earth has already been made so unfit by human will to help people and animals to mature because their creations are prevented from being of service, because the works of creation are prematurely destroyed and the spiritual particles cannot mature in order to be admitted to the next deformation .... And therefore a total destruction and transformation of the earth's surface will dissolve all existing works of creation on, in and above the earth and all spiritual substances bound therein will receive new deformations again, so that their maturing will continue according to law again and one day this spiritual substance will also reach the goal that it can embody itself as a human being and cover the last phase on this earth towards its spiritual perfection. And thus people living on earth will also have to expect a premature end to their earthly life, for they, too, are affected by the work of transformation, for people, too, no longer use the time on earth for their spiritual maturing but leave their souls completely unattended, and thus this life as a human being is unsuccessful and therefore has to be ended .... But this end can become the human being's greatest sorrow if he has done nothing to help him mature before the last day has come .... For there are only two possibilities left: that he will recognize his God and creator and turn to Him .... that he will seek to unite with Him and then live a blissful life after the end of the old earth on the paradise of the new earth .... which only those people will be able to enter who profess God when this confession will be demanded of them .... But he can also belong to those who do not persevere in the last battle of faith on this earth, and then God's grace and mercy can still call him before the end so that he does not completely fall into the hands of My adversary and still has the opportunity to turn to God in the kingdom of the beyond, and with the help of his friends in the beyond he can still take the path to heaven .... And then he can still praise and glorify God, Who is merciful to him and has saved him from the terrible fate of the new banishment which people have to expect who completely resist Him and have completely surrendered to God's adversary .... who do not believe in a God and creator Who is lord over heaven and earth, over life and death .... over the kingdom of light and the kingdom of darkness .... and Who also carries out His plan of salvation, which He has decreed since eternity .... Therefore He will not stop trying to bring the spiritual to maturity, which is still bound in all creations and which has to go the path to the end in order to one day return to the One from Whom it originated .... This turning point is close at hand, the earth will still have to go through much tribulation .... so that people will still come to their senses, so that they will think about the purpose for which they walk the earth .... And a change will take place spiritually and earthly, and it will cast its shadows ahead, for the tribulation on this earth will be felt by all people, everyone will be affected, and much suffering will come upon people who can still be purified by it and find God if they are of good will .... But God will carry out His plan of salvation as He has already decided since eternity .... For His wisdom foresaw the course of development people would take, and He also included people's will in His plan because this alone is decisive and God always respects people's will so that it is also possible for them to achieve perfection on earth .... Yet it is certain that this plan will also be fulfilled, as God's wisdom has decided, and people should not count on a change for the better still taking place amongst people, for their spiritual state is so low that there is truly no other solution than for God's love and omnipotence to have a balancing effect where human will fails and tries to thwart all of God's plans of salvation because it is still in bondage to the one who is God's enemy and adversary and will remain so for eternities ....

The Ascension of Jesus Christ ....

B.D. 8189 from May 31th 1962, taken from Book No. 86

My mission on earth was accomplished when I ascended to heaven ....

I had delivered the world from sin and death, I had risen again and appeared to My disciples to strengthen them for their journey to proclaim the Gospel .... I Myself was full of light and strength and could now leave the earth in order to return to My kingdom from whence I had come .... to the kingdom of light and bliss .... Because My body had been transformed. It was My spiritual garment which was no longer subject to the laws of nature, but now the body could go to wherever it was moved by My will. Because it was spirit just like My eternal Father-Spirit, which was not tied to a form either but which permeated the entire universe and thus also Myself, Jesus the human being, Who had received the eternal Deity within Himself to give It a human form. This was necessary because It wanted to live amongst people, but the form was still subject to natural law and had to acquire a high degree of maturity first in order to receive the eternal Deity ....

My mission was over now, and testimony of this act of Ascension to heaven should be given as well, because it was the culmination, it was evidence for humanity that I had achieved a work of transformation of Myself which could be visibly proven .... for I disregarded all natural laws when I ascended to heaven, and I surrounded Myself with all glory and yet was visible to My disciples .... I gave them the strength to behold Me, otherwise they would truly have passed away. But only those disciples who were closely connected to Me through their love and who thus had the degree of maturity which enabled such vision were allowed to see Me. And many a soul returns from earth into the kingdom of light in the same state, and they too are able to behold Me in all My splendour and magnificence, because their degree of maturity facilitates spiritual vision. Because they too have no more limitations .... they too will be clothed in all glory, they may behold God face to face and now live in their original state, in love, which is both light and strength, and this is their spiritual garment, which may be worn by every soul as soon as it departs from earthly life and enters the kingdom of the beyond fully matured .... And this is what you should believe, you should not doubt the love and might of your God and Father, Who will one day endow you with a state of blessedness which will remain inconceivable to you as long as you still live on earth.

However, I have set you an example of what a human being can achieve by living a life of selfless love and what his fate will be if he has always lived on earth in accordance with My will. If his way of life changes his being into love, which will then be the same as My fundamental nature, he too will shine in all brightness and magnificence and also be visible to all who have the same level of maturity and who will have then united with Me, Who is and remains a Being that eternally emanates light and strength .... The event of Ascension really and truly took place, the human being Jesus gave the last proof of His Divinity on earth when He left this earth in a brilliant abundance of light and returned to the kingdom from whence His soul had come .... Because He had come from the kingdom of light, He had been with God and He returned to God again, Whose child He was and continued to be, with Whom He completely merged. Thus, the Ascension was the final proof that I was not of this earth but that I had descended from the kingdom of light and glory, which became My goal once more and which eternally will be and remain your goal too, because you also shall return to the light. You shall, through unification with Me, be allowed to receive My light and My strength anew and thus rise again and ascend into heaven, into your true home ....

Amen

Claiming divine power ....

B.D. 8190 from June 7th 1962, taken from Book No. 86

And you should be aware of the fact that you have to make use of My strength because you are too weak on your own and fall prey to My adversary and his power again, for he will not stop struggling for your souls so that they will not be lost to him. But as soon as you use My strength he will let go of you, for then he will know that he has lost you and that he cannot fight you because I Myself walk beside you, which results in your heartfelt appeal to Me. Therefore you need never be afraid, no matter how strong the temptations you face .... My presence protects you, and you can be certain of My presence if only you yourselves sincerely remember Me, if you take refuge in Me in prayer or in intimate mental contact .... And therefore I want to assure you of My presence time and again, and I want to strengthen your faith that I will take care of every individual in all love so that he will not despair in any adversity and tribulation and doubt My help. For I grant it to him at all times, especially when I know that he wants to belong to My own, when I know that his inner life is turned towards Me, that I am his whole purpose in life and that he only ever strives to fulfil My will .... And I know My children's hearts and will not leave them in adversity, after all, I see that their state of soul is the most important thing for them in earthly life and therefore I also look after them with all love so that they will not go astray and fall prey to My adversary. I accept them as My children if they make an effort to become worthy of God's childship and therefore the promise can be fulfilled in them: 'Seek ye first the kingdom of God, and all else shall be added unto you ...." Just maintain the bond with Me and you will no longer need to fear anything, neither a spiritual decline nor the violence of My adversary, who only has a right to you if you still acknowledge him through your affiliation to him, which, however, is immediately eliminated if you turn to Me Myself of your own free will and in all intimacy and appeal to Me for help in every adversity .... And only open your heart and ear so that I can speak to you, so that you hear My word and thus receive My strength directly from Me .... Just want Me to speak to you and you will also hear Me, and My word will give you strength. (7.6.1962) Just maintain the connection with Me so that My flow of grace can always flow into you, and then you truly need not fear that you will go empty-handed, you need not fear that I will leave you, that I will no longer be present to you .... And always keep in mind that the great spiritual drought requires a perpetual watering, that the water of life must constantly irrigate the dry soil if the seed is to sprout and bring forth good fruit .... And you constantly receive both the seed as well as the revitalising water from Me, because the rays of My sun of love penetrate the earth which is in darkness and want to bring illumination and warmth in order to promote good growth. Only ever make use of the gifts of grace which you receive directly from Me and withdraw the strength for yourselves, for your body and for your soul .... And also let your fellow human beings draw from the source of life, hand them the filled cup and you will reap rich blessings; for it is only rarely possible for Me to open up a well, because people themselves no longer approach Me with such a request that I could address them directly .... But they already enter the realm of My sun of grace when they accept My word, when you bring it to them in My stead .... And therefore I give you the task again and again that you do whatever is possible for Me and My kingdom and My blessing will always rest on it and bring success to all souls which do not reject you when they take notice of My word through you .... Therefore willingly carry out this vineyard work for Me so that you pass on what you receive .... And My strength will flow to you again and again, because then you will be in contact with Me as soon as you impart My word to your fellow human beings and thus they will be able to receive it through you, so that they will likewise lie down at the fountain of life and receive the true drink of life which will bring recovery to their souls .... and which is also evidence of My love for My living creations, who can constantly draw strength from the spring from which the living water flows .... All shall drink from the bowl which I fill time and again to offer people what they lack in food and drink for their soul .... and which only I Myself can hand to them if it is to become healthy and mature while it lives on earth .... For I love My living creations and don't want them to get lost, I want them to reach their goal while still on this earth, and thus they shall be nourished and fed at My source and receive everything the souls need in order to be able to enter the kingdom of light and bliss in a mature state when the hour of departure from this earth has come ....

Amen

Way back from the depths to the heights ....

B.D. 8191 from June 9th 1962, taken from Book No. 86

Oh, believe that you must travel the path of ascent again exactly as you have travelled it yourselves in free will to the abyss .... that you may not skip any phase of your upward development but must consciously accomplish the change back to your original being, which also necessitates that you must approach Me again step by step, just as you once distanced yourselves from Me step by step. As a human being you lack the assessment of the wrong you started when you separated yourselves from Me, when you rebelled against My love and thus rejected all light and strength in your feeling of inner rebellion against Me .... But in exactly the same way you must voluntarily long for light and strength from Me again .... You must long for My love and open yourselves and thus enable Me to let the love shine into you again, which you once rejected in sinful rejection of Me .... And this decline takes an infinitely long time, for it proceeds according to law, it must and will take place in the same way as your distance from Me took place. As a human being this cannot be made comprehensible to you, in which way your apostasy from Me took place, yet it shall suffice you that it took eternal times and likewise also requires eternities again until you have found your way back to the father's heart and become Mine for eternity .... For once you have returned to Me you will no longer fall and have to fear another earthly journey .... unless you are driven by love for your unfortunate brothers whom you want to help before they fail in their struggle to ascend .... But then this will happen again of your own free will, yet no longer in opposition to Me but entirely in accordance with My will, and then the descent into the abyss will also bring blessings to the being itself as well as to those people who strive towards Me but still have to struggle hard and are weak to ascend to the height .... But the fact that you humans are on this path of return into the father's house is a true teaching which I give to you so that you become and remain aware of the responsibility of your earthly course, for your whole life should be considered from this point of view .... (9.6.1962) And if you believe this then you will also live a life according to My will, which you will always experience, because I Myself make My will known to you through direct speech but I have also placed a silent admonisher in your heart who will instruct you correctly and you will .... if you listen to this admonisher .... in all certainty and come ever closer to Me, because then you will also fulfil My commandments of love which you learn to recognize as a fundamental characteristic of My will, for I will only ever point out to live a life of unselfish love, and then your development will irrevocably progress. Step by step you have to cover the path of ascent, just as you have travelled it to the abyss, for you shall reconnect with Me, from Whom you willingly detached yourselves .... And it is also possible for you with My support, yet you will never accomplish this work without My help, out of your own strength, because then My adversary will use all power and cunning to pull you down again, because he does not want to lose his followers in whom he sees his power .... Yet all of you are also My share, you have .... if through his will .... you nevertheless emerged from My strength, and this strength must irrevocably flow back to the source of strength again according to the law of eternity. And therefore I will also do everything in order to give you humans a light during your earthly lifetime, during which you should freely decide for Me or for him .... what your earthly life is all about and on which path you will return to Me .... I Myself will offer you assistance so that your path from the abyss to the ascent will not be unsuccessful and that one day you will reach your goal, that you will return to the eternal source of strength, that you will strive towards Me Myself and voluntarily give Me your love, that you will establish intimate contact with Me which will certainly result in you walking your earthly path full of strength which is guaranteed to lead you to the ascent and that you will make the right decision during your earthly life ..... that you pass the last test of will on this earth well, that you decide in your heart for Me as your lord and now also serve Me with all your heart and joyful soul, because you have recognized that you belong to Me and must also be and remain eternally united with Me if you want to be blissfully happy ....

Amen

Commencement of receiving the Word 25 years ago (15th June 1937)

B.D. 8192 from June 15th 1962, taken from Book No. 86

I have given you the promise of sending you the comforter, the spirit of truth .... And I have done so by bringing you the pure truth, by using a devoted earthly child to whom I had assigned the mission of imparting this truth to people who were willing to accept it .... I have ignited a light for you which should not be hidden under a bushel, which should shine brightly into the night, into the darkness which is prevalent across earth and which can only be penetrated by a light from above .... I have conveyed My Word to you, I have spoken to you Myself and thus I was present with you in My Word .... you were able to hear My voice directly even though it first had to be imparted to you through My messengers, but the recipient of My Word could hear Me. His bond with Me was so sincere that I could speak to Him directly, so that he could provide proof of My presence: My Word, which was addressed to him and to all of you, which sounded within himself and truly revealed the most profound secrets which introduced you to the truth ....

And thus you received an invaluable gift and can consider yourselves truly blessed, because no one can take from you what I have given you and what you voluntarily accepted believing that I have spoken to you .... Your soul has received something exquisite, it is nourishment which assists the soul to mature and enables it to achieve its purpose of earthly life: .... to find unity with Me, its God and Creator, its eternal Father .... Time and again this unique gift of grace can be shared by the recipient with other people, time and again the human being can do redeeming work and has an incredibly effective means of grace to likewise help other people reach the goal on earth, to come closer to Me and to constantly receive strength to work towards the perfection of their souls, which necessitates a continuous supply of strength ....

Hence I will not discontinue the flow of living water from the source I have opened, because you human beings need a permanent supply of strength. You constantly need to stay with this source to refresh yourselves, to draw from it and let the flow of strength revive you, to draw from the living water which flows to you from My well of inexhaustible love and mercy. They will not stop flowing to you nor will I allow the well of grace to run dry, I will always take care of My child who gives Me its will and desires to hear My voice .... I will also make sure that it receives strength for itself for as long as it wants to work for Me, because this is entirely up to Me, and I will take the lead and provide what it needs physically and spiritually to carry out its voluntary mission.

Because only I know how important this mission is and how successful it will be for the numerous souls who suffer severe spiritual hardship and for whom this mission is an invaluable rescue mission .... It is a unique gift of grace that I was able to speak to you humans by means of a devoted child who listened to Me of its own free will and who believed My Words .... who allowed itself to be guided into the truth and imparted this truth to its fellow human beings who desperately needed a light to find their way in the darkness of spirit .... and who, in turn, carried the light to people who likewise lingered in spiritual darkness. The people who accepted this light could derive many blessings from it, and the recipient himself came closer to My heart by listening to Me and by believing My Words, because his inner light increased, he gained an insight into My reign and actions, into My eternal plan of salvation .... and he received clarification about Jesus Christ's act of Salvation, which he could now impart to his fellow human beings who, like himself, had previously lived in darkness and were therefore unable to utilise this treasure of grace.

I was able to bring the truth to many people, in accordance with their wishes. And they will not forget this gift of grace in eternities because they were thereby guided onto the right path which they could only find by this very truth, which they did not reject when it was offered to them as a gift from the Father who wants to help His children to find the path of return to Him. The will of every single human being was decisive as to whether he derived a blessing from My Word, but at least I was able to speak to him in the first place, which otherwise would not have been possible because I do not force anyone to listen to Me when I speak to him, and because no human being would know the voice of the Father if he did not want to be spoken to by Me directly. But My blessing will be with you forever if you hand yourselves over to Me and allow Me to talk to you directly .... Because there is much hardship and all people need My help, which they noticeably receive through My direct communication with them.

And for this reason you too, My obedient servants on earth, will receive every help, I will always and forever give you My dedicated paternal protection and also provide you with the physical and spiritual strength to work for Me and My kingdom in My name .... so that you work on My behalf and enable Me to speak to My children who are suffering and wish to hear the Father's voice .... They will receive help which only I can and want to give because I long for their return to their parental home and will do everything to help them achieve it ....

Amen

25 years ....

B.D. 8193 from June 16th 1962, taken from Book No. 86

There are profound spiritual problems which you may take a look at, which I will try to solve for you as far as you are receptive and shape yourselves through a life of love such that you will also be able to understand the deepest wisdom if it is made accessible to you through My love and grace .... But if I teach you Myself everything will also be understandable to you, it will be explained to you such that you will be able to grasp it and that you will then also be able to separate error from truth, which has spread amongst people and therefore people also walk in dense darkness .... You humans must be instructed by someone who knows, for an ignorant person will only ever plunge you into error again, you cannot receive truthful enlightenment from an ignorant person .... And therefore the 'eternal truth' itself instructs you .... It speaks to you in love and mercy and bestows gifts of grace upon you, the value of which you cannot measure as long as you still dwell on earth. You can only receive pure truth from the eternal truth itself .... And you don't think it possible that the 'eternal truth' will condescend to introduce you to the truth .... But truth is necessary for the attainment of eternal life, it is necessary for you to find the right path to Me, because you once sank into darkness and now have to enter the path of light again which will lead you safely to the goal, to unification with Me, from Whom you once voluntarily separated .... And I would suddenly open up the spiritual light to you, I would truly give you the lost realization again in an instant .... but this would not be good for you who had voluntarily given yourselves away from the light and who therefore have to give your free will to Me again .... to receive this light of realization from My hands. For it concerns your perfection, it concerns your voluntary return to Me so that you will become My 'children' who once came forth from Me as 'creatures' .... And therefore you must be introduced to knowledge which is still alien to you because you have lost the knowledge of it .... and as soon as this knowledge is truthfully conveyed to you, the love for Me awakens in you which alone lets you find the right path which inevitably leads to Me and to your perfection. You would .... if love ignited in you .... would of its own accord come to the realization of everything you lost through your apostasy from Me .... Yet you humans lack love and therefore I only ever have to try to persuade you to fulfil My commandments of love, and thus I have to make My will known to you .... I must address you Myself, and thus I also use every opportunity to address you humans directly .... if you give Me the opportunity yourselves, or indirectly, if you, who now hear My direct address, pass this word of Mine on to your fellow human beings who willingly listen to you .... Then it is possible for Me to inform you humans of My will and to encourage you to live a life of love, it is also possible for Me to lovingly address you and give you back the realization again which you yourselves lost and which you should gain in earthly life in order to return to Me again, to the eternal home, where you distanced yourselves in the wrong direction of your will. For I want to tell you again and again that I bless everyone who hands himself over to Me as a receiving vessel of My spirit and flow of love, because his mission is an extremely significant one: to help countless souls to change their nature if they give Me the opportunity to bring them a light, for they have been dwelling in darkness since their apostasy to the abyss, and they are still in the power of the adversary who has spread this darkness over them, in order to separate them from Me, from Whom they once came forth and Who will not relinquish His entitlement to these souls either, because they are also His share and He will wrestle for every soul until it voluntarily returns to Him, just as it once voluntarily left Him and fell into wretchedness ..... but all souls shall one day be blissfully happy again, and this goal I pursue and will also achieve ....

Amen

Commemorate the end ....

B.D. 8194 from June 17th 1962, taken from Book No. 86

You should often think of the end which will befall you sooner than you expect. You should always bear in mind that the time of your activity for your soul will have come to an end, that you will indeed be able to enter the light but that there can still be darkness around you if you have not already ignited so much light in yourselves that you need not fear the darkness. You must be permeated by light when you enter the kingdom of the beyond, then you need not fear this transition into the kingdom of the spirit .... And every day you still experience on earth you can strengthen the light in you if you unite with Me in heartfelt thoughts and prayer, which time and again bring you a supply of strength from Me and this always signifies an increase in light. Don't believe that the end still lies far in the future but know that you can expect it every day, for the time allotted to your souls to mature has expired and that the time I have set for the final dissolution of earth will be paused by Me, through which the old order shall be re-established so that the redemption of the still unfree spirits will continue. The time of the end has truly come for you, which you don't want to believe in and which you therefore keep postponing into the future. But every such wrong thought is detrimental to you .... it is to the detriment of your souls, because then you will not make proper use of the time you still have left for your souls to mature .... Believe that I only speak to you for this reason so as not to leave you completely without knowledge of what is to come .... I only want you to know a little about the correlations and then also tune in to Me in accordance with this knowledge, that you muster so much love within yourselves that you call upon Me when you are in need, because then I will also hear you and want to help you so that you will not get lost, so that you will not despair but know that there is One Who wants to help you and can do so if only you turn to Him trusting that He, as your father, is always willing to help and will not deny you any request. You should only recognize Me, you should know that I am a loving father Who does everything to win His children over for Himself, so that He will win your love and therefore they will voluntarily return to Him, from Whom they once voluntarily distanced themselves but will also voluntarily return to Him again one day, because My love pursues them and will never ever let go of them again ....

God needs His servants and promises them protection ....

B.D. 8195 from June 20th 1962, taken from Book No. 86

And to you, My servants, the assurance of My care applies time and again as long as you offer your services to Me, as long as you want to be active for Me. I want to make you consider that much vineyard work still has to be done in the last days before the end and that it has to be carried out voluntarily on the part of those who want to serve Me .... And look at the people around you .... where is there anyone who consciously wants to be active for Me and My kingdom? .... Look at the people, what kind of mind they are .... Only rarely is someone faithfully devoted to Me that he would be willing to serve Me in My will .... And only rarely does a person establish a bond with Me which is so intimate that I can inwardly make My will known to him .... Rarely, therefore, can I address a person and assign him his task which, however, is extremely important in the end time in which you humans are standing .... And therefore I keep the few faithful servants for Myself and place My will into their hearts, which they then also eagerly comply with and thus there is the possibility to also speak to other people's hearts .... For there are still good human vines which only need attentive care to mature before the end .... And in the end it is always about the free will of the human being .... I cannot force anyone and therefore only need your free devotion to Me, which I will also support time and again by supplying you with strength Myself through My address and that you desire nothing more than to fulfil My will .... And My will is and remains that you open your heart to Me, that you lend Me your ear so that I can speak to all people through you, because this address is still extremely important, because the time is drawing to a close. There is still the possibility here and there to touch a human heart which perceives My direct address as such, and I still want to make use of this possibility, for which I require your will, which I cannot and will not force for the sake of your perfection .... but you will be richly blessed if only you devote yourselves to Me, if you turn your thoughts to Me and allow yourselves to be bestowed by Me as often as this is possible for you .... You will receive spiritual and earthly strength and always feel Me closer to you, for I always take you more captive the more intimately you devote yourselves to Me .... And you should fear nothing, whatever concerns you .... I know this and everything has its spiritual reason and purpose. Yet you are also constantly under My protection because I need you and don't want to do without your services for Me. Just remember that I need the human being's free will and that it is rarely given to Me in such a way that I can use the human being as a receptacle for My spirit .... But I cannot make My will known to people in any other way than through My spirit, and therefore you should remain faithful to Me, you who have already given your will to Me and whom I need time and again because people constantly need My address and I want to help them in the last time before the end .... And it will also be a blessing for yourselves, for you will receive strength and light and grace in abundance ....

Amen

Faith - love and listening inwards - conditions ....

B.D. 8196 from June 21st 1962, taken from Book No. 86

You have been introduced to the truth .... And thus the knowledge of Jesus Christ's act of salvation, of its reason and great spiritual significance, has also been made accessible to you, for you possess little knowledge of it because you are still darkened in spirit and have not been properly instructed until now either .... For My spirit, which introduced you to the truth, could only rarely be effective because it originates from Me as the eternal truth itself and can only pour into suitable vessels .... because I can only convey the truth to a person through My spirit and this presupposes conditions which have to be fulfilled .... The human being must believe that I Myself speak directly to him .... He must make himself worthy of this address through a way of life in My eternal order .... through a way of life in love .... And in faith in My working of the spirit he must now also listen inwards .... and thus make it possible for Me Myself to speak to him .... And My speech will be clear and distinct, it will be an understandable answer to questions which move the human being, and thus the human being must also desire to receive a truthful answer. You humans lack the knowledge about all correlations, and thus you are also unaware of the significance of the act of salvation, or you have been wrongly instructed. And this is a great shortcoming, for without the redemption through Jesus Christ you cannot attain eternal life, but without knowledge of it you will not avail yourselves of the blessings of the act of salvation either, which the man Jesus acquired for you through His death on the cross, and without this grace you are powerless and cannot release yourselves from the enemy of your souls .... And therefore it will always be My greatest endeavour to convey to you humans the knowledge of this act of salvation which I Myself accomplished for you in the man Jesus in order to redeem your original sin, which keeps you eternally separated from Me because divine justice demanded atonement according to the law of eternity. And everywhere I seek to guide the knowledge about Jesus Christ and the act of salvation so that all people take the path to the cross, so that they all hand themselves over to Him, so that they find redemption from sin and death. And this cannot happen in any other way than through My direct address by conveying the pure truth to people and they will then come to the right realization why they live on earth .... that they have fallen and should take the path back to Me in Jesus Christ again by taking the path to the cross and thereby acknowledge Me Myself, Whom they once refused to acknowledge .... which was their great original sin, that they voluntarily strayed from Me and shall therefore now voluntarily return to Me in order to be incomparably happy again, as they were in the beginning. And they shall experience through Me Myself that they are My children for whom I long and whom I will never give up, even if My adversary seeks to keep them in his chains for a long time to come .... My love is for My living creations always and forever, and it will not rest until it has won you back .... And therefore you will also be addressed by Me, I will always supply you with the truth because you must come to realize what you were, what you are and what you shall become again .... And if the pure truth is brought to you, you will also accept it and consciously turn to Me again, as you once turned away from Me .... I will break through the darkness of spirit and give you the light which you once lost but which you must possess again if you want to be blessed again as you were in the beginning ....

Amen

Weak faith or unbelief ....

B.D. 8197 from June 24th 1962, taken from Book No. 86

Faith has become exceedingly weak amongst humanity .... People certainly know all doctrines regarding Me as their God and Creator but not everything they are told as truth they accept as such. They often also dismiss those teachings which correspond to the truth because they themselves either lack the ability to examine them or they don't take the right path in order to be able to examine them .... the direct path to Me, Who would truly grant them the realisation of truth. And what people are taught by those who deem themselves authorised is usually also devoid of truth .... it is spoilt spiritual knowledge which no longer corresponds to the truth because it was adopted as tradition without any kind of scrutiny and these doctrines are now demanded to be unreservedly accepted .... so that even the thinking person will not scrutinise them himself in order to be able to distinguish truth from error. For he is able to do so if he seriously desires the pure truth and turns to Me Myself. And thus humanity has lost its faith so that often it does not even want to acknowledge a God and Creator anymore and as a result cannot ascertain its earthly path and recognise its purpose and goal. Even people's relationship to their God and Creator cannot be made clear to them; consequently, they don't know My will, the fulfilment of which would grant them brightest enlightenment .... And so no-one strives to take the path back to Me if he lacks faith to such an extent that he even doubts the existence of a God and Creator.

First a person has to regain this faith again which, however, he can gain because he is able to think .... and because he will also be helped to think correctly when it concerns such inner thoughts as to what kind of relationship he has as a created being with the Power Which had created him .... He can attain faith if only he wants to .... if he reflects on questions which relate to his existence on this earth. For the beings of light will always take care of him and instruct him mentally, and this according to truth, providing he is interested in gaining the truth .... However, in that case he will soon find out that it is his Creator's will that the human being should live a life of love .... He will know it because the sense of what is good and what is bad is inherent in himself .... and because he has a silent Admonisher within himself Who will tell him His will .... And if he lives according to his inner feelings his faith will soon come alive in him, he will know that his inner sense is right, that a Being exists from Whose Power he arose and that this Being pursues him with Its love, for he will soon recognise the wise path he is being led along which clearly demonstrate to him the existence of such a Power to Whom he owes his existence. And once he has gained this faith he will also mentally turn to this Being and .... because he recognises Its great power .... voluntarily subordinate himself to It, allowing himself to be guided and also appeal to this powerful Being for Its support, because he feels weak but does not want to act in opposition to this Power .... It follows that he subordinates his will to the Eternal Deity's will, then he can also be certain that he will be seized by Him and that I will never let go of him again until he has united with Me, until he has fulfilled the earthly task he was given for his existence on earth and which only ever consists of recognising his God and Father and striving towards him, of submitting to His will .... that he therefore acknowledges the One again as his God and Father of eternity from Whom he once turned away of his own free will and thereby fell into the abyss, from which he irrevocably has to return to higher spheres again, and for this purpose lives on earth .... The human being must learn to have faith and truthful knowledge must be presented to him, then he will be able to believe, for he will recognise God as his Father and long for His love, which will be granted to him without limit because he once emerged from My love .... However, I cannot force him in any way to believe in teachings which relate to the spiritual realm .... to Me Myself as God and Creator .... He must gain this faith himself and he will certainly find it by merely living a life of love .... by making an effort to overcome selfish love and change it into unselfish neighbourly love .... Therefore he will be driven from within, since this is the working of My divine spark of love, which will always try to induce him to do good for unselfish reasons and whose urging he only needs to comply with .... For every act of love grants him light, he will understand increasingly more what he is expected to believe and accept it, and his faith will come alive ....

Amen

Again and again the gospel must be purified ....

B.D. 8198 from June 23rd 1962, taken from Book No. 86

My gospel shall be proclaimed to you humans in all purity, just as I Myself proclaimed it when I walked on earth as a human being .... I informed you of your shortcomings and taught you what you should do in order to get rid of your shortcomings, in order to attain light and strength, you who were completely powerless beings living in darkness .... And thus I instructed you that the cause of your lack of strength and light was your lack of love and that you only had to live in love in order to attain light and strength again .... And so I gave you the commandments of love for God and neighbour .... I preached to you the gospel of love .... And I taught you the consequences of a life of love and the effects of a loveless life on you .... I introduced you to the truth, for I informed you of everything, of your purpose of existence and of the reason for your existence, and at the same time I informed you of all means which brought you maturity of soul, and thus you received My pure gospel from Me Myself, and you need not fear misguided teachings since you were instructed by the eternal truth itself, since I Myself gave you this knowledge when I lived amongst you, for you were spiritually blind and first had to be instructed in the right teaching in order to be able to live accordingly .... But My gospel did not remain as pure as it had originated from Me Myself for long, it was repeatedly distorted by human beings, My word .... although recorded by My disciples .... was repeatedly subjected to changes, and in the end it was no longer the 'pure truth' as it originated from Me .... And therefore I had to reveal Myself again and again, and I also have to do it again and again if I want the truth to remain on earth .... that 'My word' will remain, even if heaven and earth pass away .... And now you will also understand that .... the more time passes .... the more pure truth is permeated by error .... and that there is also no possibility on the part of people to purify the educated teaching if they are not granted support by Me .... through the working of the spirit .... support is granted to them .... For people's thinking is constantly influenced by My adversary whose goal is and will remain to withhold the pure truth from people so that the spiritual darkness will remain, which is the means for him to maintain his following, because then the recognition of Myself will be impossible, thus people will no longer find the path to Me .... And therefore you should not be surprised when I Myself convey the pure gospel to you again and when I now make this possible for you .... as My disciples of the end time with the same mission as My first disciples: to teach the nations and thus to proclaim to them what you yourselves have received from Me and what alone can be regarded as light from above, which breaks through the spiritual darkness and shows all people the path to the height .... to Me .... A relief action must take place, people must be instructed in the truth again if the end time is still to be evaluated for the salvation of their souls and I Myself must descend to people again and teach them so that they also find a light within themselves again, I must preach to them the commandment of love for God and their neighbour as the most important thing and point out to them that only the fulfilment of these commandments of Mine is the brightly illuminated path of return to Me .... They should only know about their earthly task and their goal, and I will help them to achieve it and convey the pure gospel to them again through My messengers on earth, who receive it from Me themselves and who can therefore be addressed as bearers of truth and light .... as My disciples in the end time who speak in My stead and bring the pure truth to people again .... And anyone who listens to Me when I speak to him through My messengers will also not go his earthly path of life unsuccessfully, for he will work on earth for the blessing of his fellow human beings because he will also pass on the truth to them and thus it will become light where there is no resistance or opposition to My word from above .... But free will will always be decisive ....

Amen

Where two or three are gathered in My name ....

B.D. 8199 from June 25th 1962, taken from Book No. 86

Where only two or three gather in My name, there am I in the midst of them .... I gave you this promise in order to assure you of My presence if only you remain in My remembrance, if you come together as spiritually like-minded people in order to proclaim My name, in order to bear witness to Me in word and deed .... This therefore means that you acknowledge Me Myself, My name and My act of salvation, and that you, in remembrance of this, also make an effort to stand up for My name before your fellow human beings. And now I Myself will put the words into your mouth, I Myself will direct your thoughts, and you will also feel My presence because you feel strongly addressed inwardly and because you yourselves are strongly stimulated to bear witness to Me and to represent My gospel to your fellow human beings .... You should always remember this promise of Mine .... for you should not believe that I make My presence dependent on large communities, on gatherings of many people, whose hearts can all be filled with love (in different ways) and therefore also make My presence questionable at times .... For where there is no love I am prevented from being present, where there is no love I cannot dwell, and external events or happenings are not enough for Me to cause My presence .... the hearts must beat towards Me, and therefore only two or three need to be together who glow with love for Me in order to now also be able to secure My presence. And if you take this promise of Mine seriously you will also have the inner certainty of the truth of what you will now think, of what you will say in a mutual exchange of thoughts, for if I Myself dwell amongst you the light is also with you, and this light will not let you walk in darkness but will flow to you as soon as you need it. Then My spirit can also work in you, for as soon as you allow My presence it can radiate through you, and it will do so because I have promised it to you ....

Amen

Great meaning of a love life ....

B.D. 8200 from June 26th 1962, taken from Book No. 86

And when the gospel is presented to you by Me Myself you will also be able to understand the significance of a life of love, of a life in divine order, for you will be instructed of the strength of love, of the effect of a life of love and of the defective state you are in when you live without any love .... You should not fulfil My commandments of love for the sake of success but in all freedom of will, driven from within, carry out works of love and eliminate all selfishness, for otherwise you would only be doing 'works' .... which, however, are not supported by love, and thus you cannot call such works 'working in love' .... Yet only love will redeem you, only love in all unselfishness will return you to the perfection in which you once stood, in which you came forth from Me and were therefore blissfully happy .... And this 'love' can certainly be 'taught' to you but not 'commanded', for the human being cannot be forced into loving activity, he must be free, it must be entirely up to the human being's will whether he practices love, but it alone will promote his progress .... And love for the neighbour is most likely to be kindled when he is confronted by his adversity .... How his heart then expresses itself is decisive for the person's degree of love and for his perfection. And therefore you will also be instructed time and again of My commandments of love, because you must know that their fulfilment alone will be a blessing for you, and because all other knowledge is also dependent on whether you kindle the light of love within yourselves, so that the spirit within you, which is My share, can instruct you which is true .... can instruct you, which truly knows everything and can enlighten you about everything. This effect of a life of love is already so significant, for you step out of the state of spiritual darkness when My spirit can instruct you, and in the light you also find the path which leads up .... to Me back into the father's house .... A life of love is also a connection with Me, and you then also enable the influx of strength without which you cannot cover the ascent .... And a life of love also leads to union with Me, which is your earthly purpose and goal .... "For he who abides in love abides in Me and I in him ...." Love is truly everything, and therefore the teaching of love has to be proclaimed everywhere, My commandments of love have to be presented to all people as the most important, so that they, of their own free will, change back into their original state, which was love .... For they came forth from Me Who is Eternal Love .... But there is little respect for love, humanity's heart is completely hardened, it only thinks of itself and not of its neighbour in need, and therefore it is also of a dark spirit and no longer finds the path to Me ....

Amen

My God, My God, why have You forsaken Me? ....

B.D. 8201 from June 27th 1962, taken from Book No. 86

My pain and death on the cross was indescribably excruciating and every description of the suffering is just a faint comparison with My real suffering because I foresaw every phase of My act of Salvation, I knew what My last task would be and I did not have the reassurance to reduce the pain for Myself since I had to suffer the last hours as a mere human being. I certainly had all the strength because God's, My eternal Father's, strength of love permeated Me until the end, but by using My will I Myself made no use of the strength of love, I did not accept its effect to reduce or alleviate the pain with its help, otherwise the act of Salvation, which called for the utmost amount of suffering in order to redeem humanity's original sin, would not have been completely valid ....And the Deity within Me knew My will and allowed Me to continue, It withdrew Itself because it was My will to achieve the highest degree of love for humanity, which again was only for My Father, for Whom I yearned during the greatest agony, during the most severe suffering and particularly during the final minutes of My physical life .... And this yearning increased because I no longer used His effect, His strength of love .... And in this longing for Him, for My eternal Father, I exclaimed the words 'My God, My God, why have You forsaken Me? ....'

I Myself had wanted to complete the act of mercy for sinful humanity as a human being, because the greatest love I could offer My Father was to allow Myself to be nailed to the cross on His behalf, because He Himself had come to earth and taken abode within Me after all, because He had wanted to carry out the act of Salvation for His children Himself, but being 'God' He was unable to suffer .... And hence I accepted all torments and pain on His behalf and endured them to the end .... No matter how often and intelligible I try to explain this to you .... you will never quite understand it until the spiritual kingdom has received you, the kingdom of light and blissfulness .... And the simplest explanation is always the words 'The Father and I are One ....' It was already a complete unification and therefore I was able to say: 'It is finished ....' Jesus the 'human being' had sacrificed His life, He had suffered as a human being and experienced an unspeakably painful death ....But He also had united with the Eternal Deity, because love was within the man Jesus until the end or He could not have said: 'Father, forgive them for they know not what they do.' And if 'Love' Itself stayed silent then only because it was necessary in finalising the act of Salvation, so that death could then be ascertained by all the people in His vicinity .... so that His body could be placed into the grave from which He rose again on the third day ....

Every expression of God's spirit in the end could still have caused people to doubt Jesus' death on the cross, because they would have recognised His bond with Me and faith in the act of Salvation would have been the compelling result, but it had to be a free decision of will ....You will not be able to understand this quite yet either, but as soon as you yourselves unite your spirit with the spirit of the eternal Father you will become enlightened, and then you will also understand My Word, which always aims to offer you an explanation that you can understand in accordance with your soul's degree of maturity or love. Especially in regards to the act of Salvation you should receive the pure truth and be given complete understanding, so that you can comprehend the magnitude of My love, Which came to earth for you humans, for your guilt of sin, Which accomplished the act of Salvation in order to re-open the path to the Father, to redeem your immense guilt of sin, for this had closed your path to the Father's house forever ....

Amen

Exceptional help at the time of misery ....

B.D. 8202 from June 29th 1962, taken from Book No. 86

Even the worst misery in the coming time should not alarm you, for to the same extent as My adversary works during the last days before the end, when his raging will be plainly recognisable, I will let My flow of grace pour into you, so that you will certainly be capable of resisting him .... And the closer it gets to the end the more distinctly you will also perceive My reign and activity .... I have to manifest Myself in an exceptional way in order that you will not despair and fall prey to him. For he will not shy away from using cunning and trickery, he will develop extraordinary power and you will need much strength in order to resist him .... I will truly not leave you without help during this time of need and I will also be perceptible to you, time and again you will hear about remarkable help people receive who faithfully call upon Me, you will experience instances yourselves which demonstrate My love for you and reinforce your faith .... For I will reveal Myself in extraordinary ways to you providing you don't relinquish the bond with Me but trustingly rely on Me that I will lead you out of all the misery in the last days .... And you may also be permitted to witness My personal appearance where your love will allow for it .... And I will appear to you in your dreams and bestow comfort and strength upon you .... You only need to spend sincere thoughts on Me and in prayer establish the relationship of a child with its Father .... Then you may truly experience Me as a loving Father, for I don't want to lose any one of you who already belongs to Me due to his will, who desires to become blessed and to be one of My Own.

However, you will certainly need this extraordinary help, for the time which is still at My adversary's disposal is running out, and since he is aware of it, he will still rant and rave and try to pull you down by oppressing you in every conceivable way. But I, too, will influence you remarkably and protect you from his onslaughts, since I know that your will applies to Me which therefore gives Me the right to avert him from you. And even My vineyard labourers will want to work more diligently still because My adversary's activity will be so obvious to them that they will thereby recognise which hour has struck on the world's clock. Therefore they will also know that the end is imminent and that his activity will come to an end, that he will be placed in chains for a long time again. But it requires an exceptional flow of strength, for you will be too weak on your own, given that My adversary will go to any length in order to plunge you into ruin, and were I not to confront him with My power and My light he would certainly succeed .... Even so, you should fearlessly approach this time, you will survive it and remain victorious, because I Myself will walk next to you and fight on your side against your souls' enemy. And thus I promise you, who want to belong to Me, My every assistance; I will always be present to you and a mere thought will call Me to you, for love unites Me with you, who once came forth from My love, and this love will not let go of you and protect you in all adversity and danger .... Therefore it will manifest itself remarkably when the time of immense misery befalls the earth because the end has come ....

Amen

Acquiring spiritual treasures on earth ....

B.D. 8203 from June 30th 1962, taken from Book No. 86

You can only gain if you let yourselves be addressed by Me, for your spiritual wealth will increase so that you will be able to enter the kingdom of the beyond in an abundance of light after the death of the body and you will then do beneficial work for your own happiness. You will be rich in spiritual possessions which are everlasting, and you will recognize and love Me with all your heart, for then you will be in brightest realization again, you will be able to look back over your entire course of development and thus also recognize My great love for you which only ever wants to make you happy .... And since I was able to speak to you directly in your original state and this was your entire bliss, this state of bliss shall also be your fate again in the beyond, and therefore I already speak to you on earth in order to open up the knowledge about your relationship with Me as your God and father, and now you shall also long for your father as the father longs for His child to return to Him again. And this knowledge is therefore the gain which every direct address will earn you. This knowledge is a wealth which you are unable to appreciate but which ensures your entry into the kingdom of light, which you feel as an abundance of light and are happy to be able to radiate light again yourselves .... i.e., to give knowledge again to those who are still in spiritual darkness, which awakens love for Me in them and they will now use the strength of love for their own spiritual ascent as well as for the ascent of the souls which still dwell in the abyss .... You are now wearing a radiant spiritual garment because My divine light of love can now shine through you, for your love for Me also demands My love, and you will constantly be allowed to receive and increase in light and wisdom .... in order to now also be able to work in My will, which is also yours. Don't pass by the treasures on earth which I offer you Myself when I speak to you, for you are on earth for the sake of these treasures, so that you acquire them for yourselves, so that you don't reject them when I Myself give them to you .... Then open your heart and ear and listen to what I have to say to you .... For it is a direct illumination of My strength of love which will only ever result in the highest success .... which supplies you with light in abundance and shapes your soul into My image, so that you fulfil your earthly task and become blissfully happy again, as it was in the beginning ....

Amen

Bad influence of immature souls from the beyond ....

B.D. 8204 from July 2nd 1962, taken from Book No. 86

The door to the kingdom of light is closed to all those who have not yet recognized their redeemer from sin and death in Me, i.e. who do not recognize Jesus Christ's act of salvation as such and thus also do not acknowledge My human manifestation in Jesus and thus Me Myself .... And thus you can also understand that countless souls leave earth and enter the kingdom of the beyond burdened by their original sin, that they wander around in darkness or twilight and still stay close to earth, that they often don't know that they no longer live on earth and yet would like to express themselves through people again and therefore harass them in every way. And thus you are also given a reason for the conduct of many people who are .... influenced by such souls .... let themselves be carried away into the worst deeds. And the closer the end comes the more noticeable this influence will become, for time and again people depart from earth who live and die without faith in Jesus Christ and are therefore not free from their guilt of sin when they enter the kingdom of the beyond .... who take their evil thinking and their will, which is still turned towards the adversary, with them and are also influenced by him to oppress people according to their nature .... And thus the earth is surrounded by an endless host of most evil spirits who know no other goal than to transfer all their vices and desires onto people and to weaken their will and also mentally influence people so that the rejection of the divine redeemer also becomes stronger in them again and they are all in greatest danger of losing any faith they still have, who now doubt and turn away from Jesus Christ and therefore remain in deepest darkness and enter the kingdom of the beyond .... Can you now understand why I admonish people time and again to take the path to the cross, to hand themselves over to Jesus Christ and ask Him for strength of will, for forgiveness of guilt and help in the battle with the adversary in order to become free from him? .... I only want to inform people that they are bound by their great guilt of apostasy from Me and that they alone cannot break these chains, but (but only) with the help of the divine redeemer they can become free from his power .... And this is the goal of their earthly life, yet people know little or nothing about it, and since they are close to the end they are in great danger of departing unredeemed from this world and thus entering the kingdom of the beyond unredeemed, where it will be very difficult for them to find Jesus Christ, even though this is still possible then. But as long as it is still possible to convey this knowledge of the divine redeemer to people on earth, the whole world of light will work towards it and exert its influence in My will to enlighten people about it, and I Myself will convey this knowledge to earth so that people will receive enlightenment about Jesus Christ and His mission in all truth and turn to Him of their own free will .... For only then will they also recognize Me Myself in Him and acknowledge Me and thus also consciously take the path back to Me which leads home, back into the father's house. And many souls in the kingdom of the beyond will also participate in the instructions I Myself give to people on earth who are willing to work for Me and My kingdom. And thereby a light can also be kindled for these souls which can also facilitate (illuminate) their path of ascent on the other side, so that they, too, will learn the truth about Jesus Christ and His act of mercy and will no longer be defensive but call to Him from the darkness for salvation, which will certainly be granted to them. And you humans can support this work of salvation by remembering the departed in intercession and by reciting the gospel to them yourselves, by addressing them and praying to them for clarification about Jesus and referring them to Him when they are in darkness or in spiritual distress. And they will listen to you because every effort in love will be felt beneficially by them. And they will also change their will and consciously turn to Jesus, Whom they now also recognize as redeemer, in Whom I embodied Myself on earth in order to be recognized and acknowledged by you humans .... And you will not perish but come to the life which lasts forever ....

Amen

Warning against altering divine revelations ....

B.D. 8205 from July 3rd 1962, taken from Book No. 86

How often have I spoken to people through suitable instruments to convey My word to them, to give them pure truth because they were walking in darkness .... how many times have I cleansed the polluted doctrine, uncovered the false teachings and replaced them with pure truth .... Yet it never took long for people to distort this truth again, because the intellect was more concerned with it and then the adversary could easily intervene and persuade those people to make changes which contradicted the truth. And it should be a great comfort to you to know that I expose the adversary's activities time and again and that I always reveal Myself anew in order to supply only you humans with the truth again, which alone can bring you to perfection. These revelations would truly not be necessary if the truth, once conveyed to you, would remain as pure as it originated from Me. But time and again My adversary had the opportunity to confuse human thinking, and he makes use of it in every way so that he himself will not be recognized in his nature and lose his following. Spiritual knowledge which originated from Me should be protected from every change, and you humans should not believe that it cannot be altered .... As long as the human being's free will is not touched, a change of truth is also possible, for people are not yet in that maturity of soul which gives them brightest recognition, yet they are mostly convinced of their spiritual value and believe themselves to be entitled and competent to have to explain My spiritual transmissions to fellow human beings, which already enables My adversary's influence, for My word, which I convey to earth, should be sacred to them .... But what do they do? They believe that they are serving Me by offering these divine gifts of Mine to their fellow human beings in a different form, that they themselves carry out their own literary works and thus let their own intellect become active in it which, however, is not yet enlightened by My spirit and cannot be otherwise they would truly not decide to do such work .... Everyone should ask himself what prompts him to do so .... it is mostly worldly interests .... that they want to come forward themselves or seek to gain earthly goods through it, for if they only seriously aspired to Me and wanted to serve Me then they would also pay attention to the inner warnings and admonitions I send to them before they carry out their intention .... And thus you humans constantly cause Me to reveal Myself, I want to prevent humanity from walking in error again and darkening its path to Me .... You of all people, who should be guardians of the pure truth, who administer My pure spiritual goods .... you force Me to make these new revelations, and if I give them to you then you reject them, you doubt them as having come forth from Me, and yet you need only seriously examine and think about the alleged contradictions which, however, precisely cause Me to enlighten you humans .... I knew when I lived on earth that My pure truth would time and again be deceived by you humans. And therefore I promised you My spirit which time and again should guide you into the pure truth .... Would this otherwise be necessary if you humans always adhered to the truth once given to you by Me? You are imperfect as long as you walk across earth as a human being, and thus nothing will remain perfectly preserved because you possess free will which I do not prevent from defacing the truth, for as long as this will does not yet completely belong to Me My adversary also has influence over him which he truly uses to good effect because he is an enemy of the truth, because the truth from Me is the light he flees .... But you humans need the truth in order to become blissfully happy, and therefore My love will repeatedly guide it to you and you will also recognize it as truth if you are of good will ....

Purpose of harsh strokes of fate: Bond with God ....

B.D. 8206 from July 4th 1962, taken from Book No. 86

Regardless of how your earthly life turns out, you should always remember that in My plan of eternity everything is intended such that it will benefit your soul .... and that none of My living creations are left to their own devices but that I, in My wisdom, realised what is best for every individual person. Were you able to achieve the firm belief that I Myself stand behind every event with My will or My permission nothing would hardly ever frighten you again .... For My love knows how to arrange everything such that it is good for you .... Although you will not always be able to recognise My love, it nevertheless steadfastly belongs to you and will never let go of you either. But My wisdom also recognises the spiritual hardship you humans live in and the fact that you will invariably strive towards the abyss if I don't intervene in order to first deal with the spiritual hardship, so that the earthly adversities can diminish, which are only the consequences of the spiritual hardship. It is particularly dire for those people who possess no faith whatsoever in a God and Creator Who also created them as a product of His never-ending strength of love .... Only harsh strokes of fate .... which they have no control of avoiding .... can change especially those people's way of thinking .... by having to recognise a Power above them Whose will also controls their life on earth .... It is My constant endeavour to convince these people of this and to motivate them to subordinate themselves to this Power, to acknowledge and communicate with It .... For only that which remains inexplicable to them in an earthly way can make them change their thinking .... And so many things, which are described as harsh strokes of fate and which barely infer the love of a God and Creator, happen in the world for the sake of these disbelieving people .... And yet, it is love .... they are means which still promise success, even if only a few will find their way to Me, to faith in a God to Whom they must surrender and Who only expects your acknowledgement in order to then exert further influence on the human beings' inner life, Who causes them to subsequently live their life on earth according to His will and to attain the final goal: the bond with Me, their God and Creator of eternity.

Only when a person has found faith in Me as a Being full of love, wisdom and might .... will he look for this bond with Me which then will grant him bright enlightenment about his task on earth .... And only when he tries to comply with My will and pays attention to My divine commandments of love will this light begin to shine in him and reveal great knowledge to him, then he will live his life consciously in order to reach his goal .... He would indeed be able to gain this faith in Me without difficult destined burdens if he could bring himself to live a life of love of his own accord, if he could rise above his selfish love and change it to selfless neighbourly love .... Then he would have established the bond with Me from his side and he would find it easy to believe in Me, his eternal God and Father .... Then he would not go astray anymore because his bond with Me through love would protect him from the fall into the abyss .... Love and faith are essential to reach the final goal, the liberation from the physical form .... And I will always direct all events in the world such that they will be able to yield spiritual success for that person who has not entirely been taken in by My adversary and still exhibits the unbroken resistance towards Me, for I force no-one to succumb to Me and My will, but I will always help him to recognise Me Myself, even if this requires harsh strokes of fate, which then will only ever be based on My love .... However, the human being must make his own free decision in earthly life, and he will also always gently be urged from within to take the right path, the path of love .... Yet as long as he ignores this inner urging, he forces Me to employ methods which can lead to faith in a God and Creator Who is love, wisdom and might within Himself .... Then he will be saved for time and eternity, for a belief in Me also signifies acknowledgement of Me Myself, Whom he once refused to acknowledge and thereby became enslaved by My adversary, the prince of darkness .... who will indeed control him until he acknowledges Me, then he will be able to resist My adversary, to detach himself from him and to return and remain with Me for all eternity ....

Incarnated beings of light .... The working of the spirit - Channeled communications ....

B.D. 8207 from July 6th 1962, taken from Book No. 86

Even the incarnated beings of light on earth in the last days are only working according to My will as soon as they live their earthly life in heartfelt contact with Me and thus offer no resistance to Me .... that is, that they consciously submit to My will which also necessitates their voluntarily established bond with Me. Hence no being of light having embodied itself on earth as a human being for the purpose of a mission was forced into this mission by Me, but it has to be prompted by love to dedicate itself to Me, then the human being will also truly accomplish his mission in keeping with My will. And you humans can believe it that they then will also work for your benefit .... but always as a human being without knowing his origin, for such knowledge would neither be a blessing for the being of light .... the human being .... nor for the people it wants to help. They are certainly in close contact with Me and fulfil their earthly task with dedication and joy, but I don't use the people working on My behalf on earth as involuntary shells having to bear witness of Me .... but such a human being .... the embodied being of light .... will completely voluntarily let My spirit work in him, and he will proclaim the truth, since his spiritual spark unites itself with the eternal Father-Spirit and thus he will speak according to My instructions, i.e., he will inform people of the spiritual knowledge which he is constantly receiving from Me.

But don't let yourselves be misled by false prophets, for My adversary will also present himself as a representative of Christ .... in order to lead people astray, especially in the end time. However, he will hide himself behind a mask and not shy away from using divine Words either, which he knows and then tries to interpret in his spirit .... Don't let false Christs and prophets deceive you, for My adversary conceals himself under a cover in order to gain access to people who follow Me and genuinely strive towards Me .... and he is frequently very successful .... And he often uses My name because people's own will allows for it, which accepts everything as truth which gullible people with mediumistic tendencies claim they allegedly have received from Me. Make a distinction between 'the working of the spirit in the human being' and 'channeled communications' .... in which a person's own will is excluded and My adversary is offered the opportunity to work, which he is truly using well ....

However, anyone who has already kindled the light of realisation within himself will also see through his disgraceful activity and not allow himself to be bothered, for I will impart the truth to anyone who wants to know it, and I will also give him the power of judgment to recognise that the Word I convey to earth is originating from Me, and he will not believe My adversary no matter how cleverly he proceeds to deceive people. For the human being's thinking will be guided correctly and he will receive enlightenment just as soon as he seriously desires to know the truth ....

Amen

Criticism of the divine word proves spiritual arrogance ....

B.D. 8208 from July 7th 1962, taken from Book No. 86

Into what spiritual arrogance do people descend who want to criticise My gifts of grace from above or believe themselves called to be able to judge them? Divine wisdom cannot be grasped intellectually, they can only appeal for the grace of right thinking which will also be granted to them because then they will already enter into contact with Me. But anyone who wants to judge with his intellect alone, who believes that he can mentally penetrate the truth and the outcome of it, is presumptuous and will always have to admit his inadequacy, and he will also have to realize that he is not entitled to such an examination either, because the spiritual realms are closed to him if he does not enter them in My company .... But people nevertheless presume such things and then pass a judgment which can never be right, because the human being lives in spiritual darkness as long as he has not yet striven for unification with Me, which, however, also requires profound humility and recognition of his own shortcomings, in which case the human being humbly turns to Me and appeals to Me for enlightenment of his thinking. Anyone who only lives his earthly life, who does not make an effort to put his inner life in order .... thus anyone who believes that he can fathom and justify everything with his human intellect is truly not called to judge a divine gift of grace, for both the process of transmission as well as the abundant flow of grace which flows to earth will be and remain incomprehensible to him, because the human being has lost all knowledge due to his former fall into the abyss and therefore it is still dark in him .... He first has to kindle a light within himself which brings about unselfish love, but then he also humbly recognizes his weakness of intellect and no longer enters the spiritual realms in order to fathom them by virtue of his intellect. And yet, many people arrogate to themselves a judgment who are not in the least qualified to do so .... And this is a sign of great spiritual arrogance .... And they will fall ever more into darkness until they turn to Me Myself and then can also be enlightened by Me if their desire for truth is serious. But then you will have to come to Me humbly, for I only grant My grace to the humble. And as soon as you are of arrogant spirit My adversary still controls you, who is full of arrogance and also wants to transfer it to you. And many people are so convinced of the sharpness of their intellect that they don't want to accept any instructions, and these will also never be able to be introduced to the pure truth, because truth can only be part of a humble person, for it originates from Me and only ever touches the hearts of those who devote themselves to Me in deepest love and humility .... But anyone who is arrogant also lacks love, for he is still completely in bondage to the one who is without love but who places himself above everything and who also does not want to acknowledge Me as his lord. Therefore beware of spiritual arrogance, after all, it makes you completely blind in spirit, and then you will never be able to receive and grasp My gifts of grace, for they will only be confused thoughts for you and not emit any light, because this is prevented by the adversary who wants to keep you in deepest darkness so as not to lose you ....

Amen

The value of a "living" faith ....

B.D. 8209 from July 8th 1962, taken from Book No. 86

You will also be told time and again that you can only gain a living faith through love .... For love unites you with Me, Who is love Myself, and then your faith in Me must also be alive because you feel My presence, thus it is conviction for you what you should 'believe' .... for believing means believing something to be true for which you lack the evidence .... But then you will no longer need evidence, for the feeling of My presence is the strongest evidence of Myself, and then you will also know that I work with you or that you can work with Me, that everything is possible for you because it is I Myself Who now carries out what you ask for or what you want to do yourselves in strong faith in Me and My strength .... I Myself am love, and you must unite yourselves intimately with this love, which you will always do when you carry out works of love, when you only ever seek to show unselfish love to your neighbour, when you help where help is needed, when you assist your neighbour earthly and spiritually .... when you take care of his earthly and spiritual needs and thus serve him with love .... The blessing of such works of love flows back to you a thousand fold, and the feeling of a living faith is the most delicious thing you can gain through it, for then you will go through earthly life completely carefree, you will have intercourse with Me again as with your father at every hour, and there are no doubts or unsolvable problems for you, for in this living faith you leave everything to Me, your father of eternity, Who is constantly present in you and you can never feel abandoned because you know yourselves to be safe in Me .... And you will understand how extremely important it is that you practise love .... that you perform deeds of love which give you strength for your way of life, that it constantly takes place in love and thereby you establish an ever closer bond with Me, your God and father of eternity .... Who created you out of His love. Anyone who has gained a living faith will now also safely walk the path of ascent, for since he knows that I Myself am present to him he will only walk in My company, Who will truly also lead him to the goal .... He can now also say with conviction: "I not only believe but I know that God is close to me ...." For living faith will no longer allow any doubt, living faith will also no longer allow any weakness, for it is strength itself, because it cannot be thought of without love and love is the strength which now flows through him and enables him to do everything he wants out of his love .... And therefore he will also be able to accomplish every work of love if it benefits his fellow human being; he will also be able to heal the sick, for the love within him and firm faith give him the strength to do so, because the knowledge is now also within him when and whether an unusual activity on his neighbour is also a blessing .... Just try to gain living faith, which therefore requires loving activity, and you will truly do justice to your earthly task. You will mature in your soul, you will have Me Myself as your constant companion, for you unite with Me through love, and everything you do now you accomplish with Me .... And your earthly life will truly bring you perfection, for you should only shape yourselves into love, then you will also accomplish your soul's transformation, you will return to your original state again, and then you will be blissfully happy again and remain eternally ....

Amen

Spiritual knowledge proves awakening and bond with God ....

B.D. 8210 from July 10th 1962, taken from Book No. 86

Once you, as a human being, know about your origin, about your starting point from Me and about your voluntary apostasy from Me with the subsequent fall into the abyss, your spirit will have come alive, for you can only receive and understand this knowledge if My eternal Father-Spirit conveys this knowledge to the spiritual spark in you .... thus the spirit in you must have been brought to life, and that presupposes a life of love according to My will .... It presupposes that you have complied with the inner urging by My spiritual spark, which is part of Me, and thus entered into My will, which requires you to live a life of love. The previous state of ignorance, which every human being finds himself in at the start of his earthly life, is evidence that a connection between this spiritual spark with Me, the Father-Spirit, has not yet taken place, that he is still completely detached from Me, that he is still in the isolation he placed himself in through his past apostasy from Me .... For the separation from Me also signifies complete lack of light, since My strength of love was no longer able to permeate the beings which grants them light and realisation. Not a glimmer of understanding remained in you when you deserted Me of your own accord, and in this utter darkness you enter this world as a human being, but you can gain realisation again, you can draw this knowledge, which is offered to you in every way by Me, your God and Father, from within yourselves when you live on earth .... Merely the bond of the spiritual spark with the eternal Father-Spirit must have been established, which then will also assure you the influx of light, that is, an unlimited measure of knowledge which will be imparted to you by the never-ending love as long as you fulfil the condition which I associated with it .... And a person who becomes enlightened, who increases his knowledge of the kingdom which is not of this world, can consider himself fortunate. For he has already started his ascent, because he will only ever receive light as a result of a life of love, which is the purpose and goal of earthly life because it leads the human soul to perfection.

A small amount of knowledge which corresponds to the truth is always a sign of divine union, because love unites the human being with Me and love, in turn, guarantees truthful knowledge .... This is why the human being should, from the start of his life, look for the association with Me through a life of love, then his will shall be directed correctly .... since he once directed it wrongly and therefore descended into darkness .... And a will that is directed correctly will always strive towards Me, but it must pay attention to the delicate voice, the expression of the spiritual spark in him, which tries to persuade him to live a way of life that is righteous before Me .... He will not be compelled to follow this spark's inner urging, for in the embodiment as a human being the soul receives its free will again which, however, would never be able to choose Me had I not provided him with the spiritual spark as a little helper, which tries to influence him from within to steer his will into the right direction and thereby advance in his higher development until he has reached his goal, the unification with Me .... which this very spiritual spark .... because it is a part of Me .... will constantly strive for. And as soon as the human being is granted just a little light, as soon as the truthful knowledge about his origin and his goal is presented to him, he will use his knowledge correctly; he will live his life accordingly, for he recognises the will of his eternal God and Creator Who wants to unite Himself as Father with His child again, Who wants to grant the original state to His living creation again, in which it was infinitely happy. But as long as the human being still lives in spiritual darkness his life on earth is at a standstill, for he neither recognises his beginning nor his end, he neither recognises the purpose and goal nor the reason for his earthly existence, and thus he does not direct his will correctly either, that is, according to My will. His ability to do so is simply ailing, because he lacks all knowledge and his will, kept down by My adversary, is extremely weak as well and only strength of love would be able to strengthen it, but this can only be gained by a person if he listens to My spirit in him which proclaims My will to him, which only ever expects loving activity from you so that you will ascend again. And thus, you should only try to attain knowledge about My will and live up to it, and truly, you will become enlightened, your strength will grow and you will also be able to resist My adversary. For then your spiritual spark will constantly strive towards the Father-Spirit of eternity, and it will also establish the union with Him and never want to let go again, because light and strength makes it immensely happy and the soul will inseparably unite itself with Me once more as it was in the beginning ....

Amen

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

B.D. 8211 from July 11th 1962, taken from Book No. 86

Many are called but few are chosen .... Yet it is not an arbitrary act on My part that I only appoint and enable a few to work for Me and My kingdom, instead, this is determined by you humans yourselves, for you are all called to become true children of God, and as soon as you take this seriously you will also soon be chosen, for then the prerequisites will also be there which will cause Me to send you spiritual gifts in abundance .... Graces which you only need to utilize in order to attain childship to God, which is the purpose and goal of your earthly life .... You should therefore not believe that you are already predetermined from eternity whether you will reach the degree of maturity or not .... You should not believe that I give special attention to one or the other or that I bestow unusual gifts of grace upon him which enable him to shape himself according to My will .... The same gifts of grace are available to all of you humans but you yourselves have to evaluate them accordingly, and then I can choose you, I can already give you an office on earth which all people could administer but don't have the will for it and therefore don't fulfil the conditions which are a prerequisite for such an office. For it is a spiritual task which I give to those whom I choose .... it is a service for Me and My kingdom which does not earn the human being earthly goods but only concerns the redemption of erring souls .... an action for which I need people who shall fulfil this redeeming task on their fellow human beings. And since you are all to prove yourselves in serving love, you are also all called .... Yet only the one who proves himself is also chosen, for then he will also have the strength at his disposal which such a rescue action requires, because he gains the strength through his activity of love .... and because this activity of love now also unites the human being with Me, so that the spiritual spark resting in him, My share, now awakens and impels the human being into the activity he is to carry out in My service, and because he is then .... as instructed by My spirit .... will also work, want and think entirely in My will and he is now a suitable servant for Me, a chosen one who now administers his ministry for the blessing of his fellow human beings, who is in contact with Me and with his fellow human beings at the same time and can therefore also transfer My will to them. For it is necessary that people know of My will, and anyone who places himself at My disposal as a mediator of his own free will and who wants to be active in redemption will be accepted by Me, and I will fill him with grace and strength, I will give him light so that he will carry the light out into the world .... For he has followed My call and I was therefore able to choose him and include him in the flock of My own who are eagerly active for Me and My kingdom ....

Unity of ecclesiastical denominations? ....

B.D. 8212 from July 12th 1962, taken from Book No. 86

There is no chance that the ecclesiastical denominations will agree with each other because they hold on to their spoiled teachings and do not try to distance themselves from them .... They all concentrate on external practices, they represent a Christianity which does not correspond to what Jesus describes as the church founded by Him .... Because this church is a spiritual union, its members exemplify a living Christianity which transforms a person from within, it cannot be compared with the Christianity advocated by the churches .... which mainly follow external customs, have adopted countless practices and ceremonies and thus attach more importance to those while neglecting the inner change of the human being's nature into love .... As a result it can never achieve the right relationship with God, the spiritual rebirth, which, however, is the essence of the church founded on earth by Jesus Himself. None of the denominations will relinquish their traditions, not one of them will, for the sake of another, renounce anything even though it is a mere human product and has no value before God.

The denominations' argument concerns those differences which were created by them in the course of time, but no thought is given to the actual misguided spiritual knowledge which had caused the confusion in the first place and which is eagerly defended as the original religion. This, however, can only be found in the truth taught by Jesus Himself on earth which has also been distorted by now and is no longer supported by any of the existing denominations, nor can it be supported because it needs the working of the spirit, which can only be attained by fulfilling the divine commandments of love. And particularly this commandment is in fact taught but observed least of all, because all later added man-made commandments are paid more attention, although they are of no value since they did not originate from God but are merely human work .... thus they cannot last and have no influence on the further development of the human soul which has to mature here on earth. The divine Word of Jesus on earth which gave mankind the full truth has been interpreted so incorrectly that these interpretations have resulted in many wrong customs.

Here God's adversary has played his part by confusing the spirit of men, which became noticeable in the demands of these various denominations, which always separated when people argued over the spiritual meaning of Jesus' Words. And each denomination supported such controversial issues according to the degree of their understanding or the spiritual state of those who believed themselves to have a calling but who did not belong to the church of Christ themselves, or their spirit would have been enlightened and they would have dissociated themselves from the existing creeds or schools of thought. Some eager representatives whose maturity of soul was already further advanced certainly did fight for the knowledge they had gained. But they could never prevail because their opponents were not willing to relinquish a structure which only consisted of misguided human practices, which never correspond to divine will because they did not concur with the pure truth ....

And even if the denominations intend to unify, they will still not give up these human institutions and endeavour to build the true church of Christ which expects of people an inner life in accordance with divine will not reliant upon any external practices, but solely upon a life of love. This will establish a connection with God and result in living faith as well as a full understanding of the pure truth which is gained through the working of the spirit within the human being and which is the sole characteristic of the church which Jesus Christ established on earth. And as long as people do not abandon the formalities through which they deter many people's faith altogether, as long as they do not want to experience the inner awakening themselves, which results in the working of the spirit and enlightenment of thought, it will be a pointless beginning to achieve an agreement, for then they will not agree in truth but hold on to the misguided spiritual knowledge which, however, will be of no benefit for their souls ....

Amen

"I pour out My Spirit ...."

B.D. 8213 from July 13th 1962, taken from Book No. 86

"I pour out My Spirit on all flesh, and servants and maids shall prophesy and young men shall have bright dreams ...." This promise came forth from Me and applies especially to this last time when the darkness is so deep, when humanity walks along that it needs light from above, and I will use every willing and suitable vessel to let My flow of spirit flow into it so that My ray of light of love finds entrance into people's hearts. And these people hear My word within themselves which they can now also pass on to their fellow human beings. My address is clear and understandable, it needs no explanation and is also recognized by the recipient as My word, as the voice of the father Who speaks to His child. But it is erroneous to assume that I make it dependent on the recipient's intellect in which form My spirit expresses itself, for the flow of spirit emanates from Me and will now be recognizable by the fact that the spirit expresses profoundest wisdom and reveals deepest knowledge to the human being in such a way that it appeals to every person and is also recognizable as divine speech. For I want to address the human being (the souls) through the spirit which came forth from Me; but the human being's intellect also has to be able to deal with spiritual knowledge which shall be of divine origin .... But again, the 'form' of the transmission is less decisive but the content has to be evaluated, whether it gives the human being light, whether he thereby attains realization, whether he gains something which he had not possessed before .... And this is how spiritual conversations can be conducted .... if, during such conversations, a person speaks full of wisdom about Me and the spiritual kingdom, he can make everything understandable to his fellow human beings and lead them to a living faith .... thus this person is filled by My spirit, then he speaks on My behalf, he is used by Me as a vessel for My flow of spirit, and he is truly able to bestow many blessings, for he then serves Me as a mouthpiece through which I can convey the truth to earth, through which I can give light to fellow human beings who are only of good will. It is precisely during spiritual discussions that the greatest opportunity is offered to make Myself known through a human being, and then My word will also come true: “Do not worry about what you will say, for I will put the words into your mouth ...." But I will always speak to people as they are receptive themselves, i.e. it has to be understandable to all those who hear My speech through this vessel. My love will always emerge, My wisdom and might .... For it is love which allows Me to speak to you in the first place, because you are people in adversity, in spiritual darkness .... And time and again I tell you that I am a God of love, not a God of wrath who tries to persuade His creatures to be obedient to Him through threats .... Threats always prove a degree of unkindness, but I want to win My children through love and will therefore also only ever try to guide them onto the right path by addressing them lovingly, but I will not awaken fear in them through threats which would make their faith unfree and such faith is of no value to Me .... "My word" is a sign of My illumination of love .... If people don't want to receive My love, if they don't give up their resistance against Me despite My endless love which expresses itself time and again through My word, only then will I speak with a loud voice so that people will have to hear Me and they will no longer be able to close their ears .... Yet I am exceedingly long-suffering and patient, and I will also deal with My living creations in the most loving way .... Time and again I will try to explain My nature to them in order to win their love as well, and I will perform much unusual assistance in order to prove Myself and My love .... Yet I will not try to win them through threats, because no love can be won through coercion and every threat is also coercion, because then people will learn to fear Me and become unfree in their thinking and wanting. The end will come, the day of judgment will come with irrefutable certainty .... Yet I entice and call My children until the last hour, even though I have long since announced the judgment to them through My instruments .... For these announcements are again only intended to make them seriously remember Him from Whose power they came forth .... And I will also achieve more with words of love than with threats of any kind, for the father longs for the children's 'love' and they shall freely give this love to Me, only then will I have achieved My goal .... You can believe that I mercifully follow My living creations' life on earth and that I am not capable of harsh words in order not to push people away from Me even more. For My love knows about the fetters My adversary has put on them and I try to loosen them and therefore first try to gain their trust so that they will take refuge in My arms and let themselves be released from Me .... And only words of love are able to do this, but never threats of punishment or words of anger .... For I know about people's weakness in the last days, I know about My adversary's merciless activity and can therefore only ever oppose it with mercy wherever he resorts to cunning and shameful means in order to cause confusion. And My endless love will truly win the victory .... even if eternities still pass over it .... But I promise you all that one day the time of freedom will come for you, and I will help you to reach this goal as quickly as possible, but I leave you free will and only call out to you: 'Listen to My voice ...."

Amen

"Working of the spirit" in spiritual exchange of ideas ....

B.D. 8214 from July 14th 1962, taken from Book No. 86

A light radiates from Me and this light will always prevent you from thinking wrongly if you desire to think correctly. When I Myself illuminate your spirit it means that you feel emotionally attracted or repelled when you should pass judgement yourselves on a body of thought which is presented to you as truth. You should only ever pay attention to your feelings, yet always in the will to be right and just, and now immerse yourselves in the thought material without prejudice, and you will feel whether it appeals to you or whether you oppose it with an inner resistance .... "I pour out My spirit on all flesh ...." This is My promise, which is also truly fulfilled .... Yet you often don't recognize the 'working of My spirit' because you always expect it to be an unusual process. And My spirit often expresses itself in secret, and I can only rarely reveal Myself through a person so that I can address people directly through him .... People usually believe that I Myself speak out of them, but then they would be in a mediumistic state, i.e. they would relinquish their own will and allow spiritual forces access which can now express themselves .... When I address a person through My spirit then his heart perceives My words as clear thoughts which he now, however, expresses in his usual way of speaking, that is, he writes them down or .... expresses his views during a spiritual exchange .... expresses his views which, however, are guided by My spirit and thus correspond to the truth, or else he hears the sounding word within himself .... which requires a very high degree of maturity of the soul .... so his thoughts are formed, he hears himself addressed inwardly and then also passes on this address to his fellow human beings. And precisely the knowledge of the latter can lead to erroneous assumptions when spiritual beings express themselves who are secluded from earth and seek to transfer their knowledge to people who have a certain inherent mediumistic ability .... which is why I repeatedly emphasize that people can indeed hear My voice within themselves but can never literally convey 'My voice' but can only pass on the content in its meaning by writing it down as it is comprehensible to them and thus take in My voice dictatorially or they are filled with the content of what I have conveyed to them, that they express themselves to fellow human beings and try to reproduce in their own way of speaking what they have heard, for which I put the words in their mouths .... thus direct their speech and their thinking according to truth. "I pour out My spirit upon all flesh, and servants and handmaidens shall prophesy ...." The working of My spirit is the result of a life of love, and therefore, where love is lived My spirit will awaken, and this spirit will now constantly correct a person's thinking, it will instruct the person from within and radiate My divine light of love to him .... And thus these are also spirit-filled and can rightly call themselves My servants and handmaidens, for they will always feel urged from within to testify for Me and My kingdom, to confess My name before the world, and to proclaim to their fellow human beings what God and father requires of His children, that He loves them and wants to make them blissfully happy ..... and wherever they speak, whether in a large or small circle, they will only speak pure truth, because I Myself can pour out My spirit into such vessels .... Thus you can regard every deeply believing, love-filled person as also being filled by My spirit, and his thoughts will always be rightly directed and turned towards Me, for Whom he now works in silence and can bestow many blessings .... And they (these people through My spirit) will also receive information through the spirit in Me about the coming event, because everything earthly is always connected with the spiritual maturing process, with people's spiritual state .... And My spirit will protect them from spreading untruth, yet their silent work will often not be recognized as work in the vineyard of the Lord ....

Amen

Creation helps the dead being to live ....

B.D. 8215 from July 15th 1962, taken from Book No. 86

If you humans try to imagine My infinite love you will also understand that there cannot be eternal death for the beings which I created out of My love, which are likewise love in their primal element like I Myself. For love is strength, and what this strength once brought forth can no longer pass away, it remains eternally, regardless of whether it is close to Me or still far away .... It is imperishable and therefore must also one day emerge from the self-chosen state of death .... i.e. from the state where it itself has cancelled the effectiveness of the strength of love .... to life .... where it allows the effectiveness of the strength of love again and uses this strength according to My will. The being had once brought its activity to a standstill in free will .... The strength of love, therefore, which flowed through the being because it was a product of My love, was prevented from being effective, and this meant a standstill, an inability to carry out any activity .... It meant a state of powerlessness and also the loss of self-awareness for the being .... But I want it to return to the state of fullness of love and most blissful activity. And that is why I Myself have for the time being determined for every strength emanated from Me .... for every being .... a function which it had to fulfil…. because it was necessary, and thus I dissolved the hardened spiritual beings, which were thus in a state of death, lifelessness and inactivity, into innumerable spiritual particles .... I formed these into creations of the most diverse kind and assigned to each self the activity which it now carried out in the state of compulsion .... The strength once emanated by Me now became effective again, yet not consciously for the former being, for it was unredeemed and should first emerge from the state of death .... which also happened through the emergence of creation, and it began to live again .... For life is incessant activity. What you see in creation is alive, even if you cannot perceive its (a) life .... but nothing remains unchanged, it changes and is active in some way and thus slowly emerges from the state of death into the state of life again, where it becomes active according to My will .... But one day it shall also shape itself again into the being as which it originally came forth from Me, and therefore the course through the creations of earth will one day lead to the unification of all particles belonging to the original spirit .... And it comes to life as an I-conscious being .... as a soul .... a human outer form in which it is now consciously to acquire the last degree of reversion .... in which it is to use the flow of love-power that is now flowing towards it again, to become active again .... to serving love in unselfishness .... It must therefore now consciously accept My divine flow of love-power and let it become effective in free will .... And then it has overcome death and reached life .... It will be constantly active according to its own will, but which also corresponds to My will .... And every being will reach this state once, only the being itself determines the time of its distance from Me where it is dead and unhappy .... But everything is done by Me to shorten this time, so that the being enters its original state again and desires and strives for Me Myself and My radiance of love .... But nothing will eternally fall prey to death because everything is strength from Me which cannot remain ineffective, because this has been the law for eternity, only the being itself temporarily prevents the strength from being effective, because the being has free will as a member of a divine creature which, as soon as it is self-aware, will never be taken away from the being either ....

Amen

The transformation of the original spirit into creations ....

B.D. 8216 from July 16th 1962, taken from Book No. 86

My Word shall bring you clarity, it shall answer questions and solve problems which you are unable to solve intellectually yourselves. You shall become knowledgeable if you desire to know, you shall be educated in all truth, for I want to give you light and illuminate your spirit, so that you do not continue to live in darkness and damage your soul, for I want to save it for all eternity. My immense love only ever wants your soul’s salvation because I long for your return, for unity with you, which requires the perfection of your soul. You once came forth from Me in all perfection, for I created you as My images, as utmost perfect beings, as miniatures of Myself and yet of the same quality, because your fundamental element was love since you came forth from the original source of Love, Which created vessels for Itself in order to emanate Itself into the vessels .... in order to let this strength of love continually flow into these created beings ....

These beings, My images, were pure love. They were My radiated strength of love which could indeed perceive and behold each other but they were unable to behold Me Myself from Whom they originated, because I was the original fullness of strength of love Myself which they could not see or they would have ceased to exist. For I had externalised them as tiniest sparks, as independent beings .... as I have already explained to you several times .... although, as a purely spiritual process it will never be quite understood by you humans on earth. But since these beings were independent entities endowed with free will and a lot of strength and light at their disposal due to the fact that they were constantly permeated by the flow of My love’s strength, I could not prevent them from misusing their free will such that they turned away from Me, that they .... when faced by their test of will to acknowledge Me as their God and Creator .... denied Me this acknowledgment ....

They turned to My first created being .... Lucifer .... who was visible to them and whose beauty stood out in brilliant radiance, and rejected the emanation of My love’s strength, which meant that they distanced themselves ever more from Me as the primary source of light and strength .... This process, too, has been explained to you humans time and again as far as I could make it understandable to you .... But now you should know that although My externalised living creations could indeed change themselves into the opposite .... they could not perish but continued to exist and will continue to exist for all eternity .... The beings’ fundamental substance was love, thus strength which, according to eternal law, has to be active .... it cannot remain inactive forever. Due to the ever increasing distance from Me as a result of rejecting My emanation of love, My created original beings’ spiritual substance became solid, and thus these beings became incapable of working and becoming active .... And so I dissolved the original spirits, I transformed the beings which were My once externalised emanated strength, and creation came into being, in which the strength could work again, thus become active in accordance with My will.

Consequently, you can rightly say that the whole of creation consists of original spirits transformed by My will, the same strength which I emanated in form of self-aware beings were now changed into other forms, into works of creation of every kind .... I then assigned a task to every work of creation, and thus the original spiritual substance, dissolved in particles, now passes through all creations and serves Me in the law of compulsion. The strength becomes active in relation to My will, because strength must become effective in line with fundamental law .... Always consider that the first created spiritual entities were My emanated strength, irrespective of whether they were dissolved or joined together again after an endless time .... the first created spirit will not cease to exist, but it will return to Me again one day without fail, but then it will be the same being again that had originated from Me .... On its path of return to Me it passed through all creations and finally enters the form of the human being .... as his soul .... the last brief stretch of the path when it has to achieve unity with Me again, when it has to consciously accept the emanation of My love again, because voluntary return to Me requires the original spirit to relinquish his resistance to the emanation of My love’s strength .... Then it will once again be the Godlike living creation, My image .... the fallen original spirit .... the perfectly created being, but now it will have achieved its perfection again entirely of its own free will, and therefore it will be able to unite with Me again and remain united with Me forever ....

Amen

God's power of love must become active ....

B.D. 8217 from July 17th 1962, taken from Book No. 86

I will always be with those who want to serve Me in all sincerity, out of love for Me and their neighbour, and who therefore also want to live in truth in order to be able to render this service to Me: to pass on My word as bearers of truth which guarantees pure truth. Hence they can count on My support at all times, I want to bless them earthly and spiritually and protect them from all attacks by My adversary. Yet time and again he will take action against them and try to undermine the pure truth, and he will find access to people and present them with great error which, however, will not be recognized because the same strong desire for truth does not prevail everywhere, but this is a prerequisite in order to move within the pure truth. And this very battle of darkness against light is constantly waged, for as long as the adversary still has a right to people's souls because they have not yet completely handed themselves over to Me he will leave no stone unturned to extinguish the light from above and erect blinding lights in its place which will not fail to have an effect either. But the human being's own free will determines the strength with which the light from above shines and penetrates the heart .... For he must desire light himself, then it will also shine for him .... The original spirits which once fell away from Me chose darkness of their own free will, for they gave up all light, they resisted the influx of My divine light of love. And thus their spirit was darkened, they lost all realization. They stiffened and became incapable of any activity, they lost all mobility and completely hardened in their spiritual substance .... They were once emanated strength of love by Me which was capable of all accomplishments .... and now became impotent, dead beings which, completely hardened, became incapable of all activity and which I therefore reshaped into creations of all kinds, so that the strength now became effective in My will and the frozen spiritual substance slowly came to life again. For only activity is life and activity requires strength, and it is impossible to think of 'life' without the supply of strength .... Time and again I explain this to you in order to open up your understanding for the fact that the beings once emanated by Me and My love were, at the bottom of the ground, precisely the strength of love which was now to become active in My will, which had to become effective if the law of divine order was to be fulfilled .... Thus the everlasting influx of My strength of love enabled all My living creations to constantly work and create, because they were created in My image, which carried the same creative spirit and will within themselves and also found happiness in creative activity .... It was precisely the abundance of strength of love which constantly flowed through them which made them become arrogant and awakened the idea in them that they had this great strength at their disposal by themselves, that they did not need a source of strength but drew strength and light from themselves and were therefore completely independent of Me .... And thus they willingly detached themselves from Me and rejected every further supply of My divine strength of love .... They voluntarily severed their bond with Me and strove away from Me towards darkness, because they gave up the light and strength themselves and were now darkened in spirit, i.e. they lost all realization of their origin and their relationship with Me and also lost all abilities they had previously possessed when they were intimately united with Me through the constant irradiation of love on My part. Yet all these original spirits once stood in brightest light, they recognized Me even though I was not visible to them, and thus their fall into the abyss was not the result of a lack of light or strength but an act of spiritual arrogance which My adversary transferred to them when he became an open adversary to Me, when he himself deceived the beings into believing that he was their creator and father and that no higher being existed apart from him .... The beings, however, still had so much light left that they could have recognized Lucifer's lies and spirit, but they, too, wanted to be free and independent of Me and therefore they followed him into the abyss and fell into ever deeper darkness .... Yet it was their free will and I did not prevent them from falling away from Me, but My love was nevertheless directed towards them and looked for a path by which they should find their way back to Me again .... But in order to do so they first had to surrender to the power of their lord .... My now adversary .... because they were unable to defend themselves against him .... And therefore I let the creation come into being which was to bring about the process of the return of the spirit .... where (in which) I helped the deeply sunk up again to the height where (and) the adversary would no longer have any power over this spiritual .... But once this fallen spiritual being, which is now on the path of return, had to freely decide again for Me or for him .... And for this it had to have free will again and also a little helper .... (the divine spirit spark.) And this I added to it at the beginning of the embodiment in the human being, which now tries to influence the spiritual apostate being .... the soul .... to travel the earthly path in My will in order to once make the right decision .... And this is the meaning and purpose of earthly life as a human being, that the return to Me is accomplished in free will, that the human being is willing to accept My illumination of love, that he opens himself and thus accepts light and strength again and thus accomplishes his last transformation, that he completely shapes himself into love and then has accepted his original nature again, that he has become a spirit of light again, as which I have placed him in infinity, and can now create and shape in strength and light again and thus will also work next to Me in My will, which is also his will, because he has completely given himself to Me and united with Me for eternity ....

Amen

God's love also works in legal order ....

B.D. 8218 from July 19th 1962, taken from Book No. 86

If My love alone were decisive you would truly all have been redeemed long ago .... Yet My love is also bound to My fundamental law of eternity insofar as its effectiveness presupposes voluntary acceptance .... that every resistance nullifies its effect until this resistance is abandoned, until the law of divine order is fulfilled again through voluntary devotion to Me and My illumination of love can now take place without measure and without limitation, which means return, i.e. union with Me .... i.e. redemption from all form .... I Am indeed supremely powerful and there is no limit for Me, neither of love nor of power .... However, I am also supremely perfect, and this means that I Myself will never step out of the law of eternal order .... that I work contrary to law, which, however, would mean a sudden redemption of My creatures. I can do anything I want .... but I will never want anything that contradicts Me Myself, that is, My highest perfection .... You can never apply human standards and expect Me to circumvent My law of eternity Myself, even if My love is exceedingly great and would like to flow through all of you, My living creations, in order to make you exceedingly blissful .... But bliss also includes fulfilling and fitting into My law of eternal order. And a being would never be completely blissful whose perfection would be questioned because it has not yet completely inserted itself into My law of eternity. For supreme beatitude requires the being's complete alignment with My fundamental nature, and this is only achieved when love has reached the degree that perfection can be spoken of .... because then the being can be close and closely united with Me for all eternity. And I cannot give this perfection to you .... the beings which once fell away from Me of their own free will .... .... precisely because you still reject it as long as your love has not yet reached that degree .... because you still persist in rejecting My strength of love .... which, in turn, cannot flow towards you against your will. Free will is the characteristic that you are of divine origin. Free will was the cause of your apostasy from Me, and free will has to strive for the change back to love again, the return to Me, and bring it about, but then the effect of My illumination of love can no longer be denied, then you will realize yourselves what strength lies in love and how you ascend higher and higher yourselves, because then your approach to Me as the eternal love will become ever more evident, for then I Myself will be able to work in you through love, and you will constantly increase in light and strength, your being will increasingly return to its original state, it will become again what it was in the beginning when it was emanated by Me in supreme perfection and therefore was also exceedingly blissful .... But then it will have reached its perfection in free will, and you will only realize what this means when you dwell in the kingdom of blissful spirits again, and only then will you understand My infinite love which followed you into the abyss and lifted you up and constantly helped you to reach your final goal: complete unification with Me .... an eternal life in bliss ....

Amen

'Judging' the souls at the end ....

B.D. 8219 from July 21st 1962, taken from Book No. 86

The hour of reckoning will come, the hour when every person will have to justify himself before his Judge .... For order will have to be restored again sooner or later and everyone who has transgressed this eternal order will have to be answerable .... The sentence will be passed in accordance with justice .... Every soul will experience the fate it has prepared for itself; the spiritual essence, which has taken the path through the creations, will be moved to where it belongs in relation to its degree of maturity .... the old creation will be dissolved, i.e. all forms will be reshaped into different kinds of works of creation, and the unredeemed spiritual substance will be placed into these forms either to re-start or to continue the path of salvation, depending on its degree of maturity. At present you humans still do as you want and please, and you are not prevented from doing so, irrespective of how God-opposing your actions are .... But the end will come soon, and you will no longer be able to do as you want, because the time will have passed when you were able to work for your soul's salvation. For you will not have used the time in accordance with God's will but strengthened your soul's cover even more and thereby will have prepared your own fate by becoming increasingly enslaved by matter, and thus you will become matter again yourselves, which you had already long overcome. Yet the law of eternal order will have to be fulfilled again one day. Every spiritual essence, which lived on earth as a human being, will have to receive new forms, since higher development has to continue where it was interrupted .... And the spiritual essence which had failed in its embodiment as a human being has to be given a new opportunity to integrate itself in the process of return .... This could indeed be called an extremely harsh judgement but it only ever corresponds to the human being's own free will, which he had misused on earth .... with the result that his soul will gain banishment into matter, it will be dissolved again and will have to take the infinitely long path through the creations until it once again enters the stage of a human being ....

One day it will achieve the final goal and leave every external shape behind, but it extends or shortens its own time until it can finally enter the kingdom of light in a redeemed state. And although God is inconceivably merciful and patient and in His love constantly tries to encourage people to make the right decision of will .... one day the time will come to an end and then His righteousness will come to the fore, and He will re-establish the old order which, however, will also signify a 'judgement of the soul' .... a transfer into the external form which corresponds to its state of maturity .... And, at the same time, this 'judgment' is the end of an earth- or salvation-period .... It will necessitate a destruction of all works of creation on earth which shelter unredeemed spiritual substance that travels along its process of development in a state of compulsion, as well as people who did not use their earthly existence to progress in their development. They, too, will be 'judged' .... that is, according to their spiritual maturity they will be placed into hard matter again .... You humans are now facing the end of this old earth, whether this seems credible to you or not .... Time and again your attention will be drawn to this fact in order to improve yourselves before the event and to enter the law of eternal order, which only requires a life of love, for love is a divine principle which you, too, as His living creations, will have to acquire if divine order is to be observed.

You are constantly admonished by seers and prophets, who proclaim this near end to you, to consider your real purpose of earthly life, so that the end will not catch you unawares and you will have to step before God's judgment seat laden with sin if you have done nothing to fully mature in the final form .... as a human being, even if you are not yet released from your original sin by having taken this guilt under the cross and prayed to Jesus Christ for redemption from it .... Only he can take all guilt from you, and then you can step before God's judgment seat free of guilt, and you will not have to fear the Last Judgment, then you will be able to exchange your stay on earth with the spiritual kingdom, which is your true home .... You will be able to enter the kingdom of the blissful spirits and neither have to fear the end of the old earth nor new banishment, for the eternal God is not a strict but a righteous Judge, Who will give to you all in accordance with your own will ....Amen
