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.

God's Word will be heard eternally ....

B.D. 8522 from July 8th 1963, taken from Book No. 90

I have promised to stay with you until the end of the world .... And My Word will be heard by you, My living creation, as a sign of My presence .... The connection between your God and Creator of eternity and you, His beings having emerged from Him, will remain forever .... My love for you will eternally express Itself by speaking to you, because since the beginning It found greatest pleasure in being able to be in touch with Its living creations through the Word, and because the happiness of all beings will also eternally consist of constantly receiving My strength of love, and this transmission of strength is expressing Itself through My directly imparted Word. I reveal Myself through the Word .... I transfer My thoughts onto you and find My happiness by stimulating you to respond in kind, so that the dialogue between Father and child can take place, which in itself provides supreme beatitude ....

The more perfect the being is, the more clearly it can hear My voice within its heart .... which has to be spiritually understood insofar as that the being is moving within brightest realisation, within the same will and the same thoughts as Mine, with Whom it is intimately united due to its perfection. Yet even a being with a lesser degree of maturity can still hear Me if, in awareness of itself, it establishes contact with Me .... Nevertheless, the degree of happiness will be higher or lower respectively, for once it is united with Me again .... the being will have come alive .... the state of death will have been overcome, which alone excludes the hearing of My Word .... But only very few people know that their God and Creator would like to speak to them and that they could indeed hear Him if they lived a way of life in accordance with His will. Only few people experience the happiness of a direct communication and enter into a heartfelt relationship with Him .... And if fellow human beings are given the knowledge of it they find it incredible and only laugh at those who tell them so ....

Yet 'Heaven and earth shall pass away: but My Word shall not pass away ....' And this promise of Mine, too, is usually interpreted differently in as much as you believe that the 'written Word' will be preserved unchanged .... Yet even for this it is necessary that My Word be repeatedly conveyed to earth because human will does not retain anything unaltered and the purity of the once spoken Word will not remain guaranteed .... But this promise of Mine has an even more profound significance still .... 'My Word shall not pass away ....' My Word will always and forever be heard by the spiritually tangible beings, My Word will always and forever give evidence of the bond of all created beings with Me, My living creations may always and forever be able to hear Me, for their happiness rests in the fact that they will be spoken to by Me directly, that they will always know of My will and harbour the same will within themselves, that they may associate with their God and Creator like children with their Father .... that profound realisation, supreme wisdom and truthful knowledge will permeate them and make them infinitely happy ....

And all this is only the result of the dialogue with Me through the Word .... If My Word could not be heard within all spiritual beings there could not be true life either, for only My Word is the life, the strength and also the happiness, or I would forever be a distant, inaccessible God for My living creations, with Whom there would be no reason to make contact and no effect could be recognised either .... 'I will be with you until the end ....' You will not be without Me and My presence anymore .... unless you still belong to My adversary into whose domain I will not intrude, instead you have to turn to Me voluntarily. But as soon as you have separated yourselves from him and seriously strive towards Me, My Word will also be heard within you, albeit very quietly at first as the voice of conscience .... yet you will be able to hear it increasingly more distinctly if only you hand yourselves over to Me so that you are inwardly urged to speak to Me in thought .... Then you will also receive an answer, only that you will not recognise it as such at first but regard it as your own thoughts .... However, the more you withdraw from the world and look for Me, the louder My voice will sound in you, and the belief in My speaking to you can also enable you to consciously expect it ....

And you will hear Me .... It entirely depends on your soul's degree of maturity, it entirely depends on your degree of love, how you will hear Me and My Word .... And since you, as belonging to Me, are constantly ascending, My Word will not exclude you either .... I will be and remain with you and always and forever speak to you .... and you will become increasingly happier as a result of the constant dialogue with Me through My Word ....

Amen

The condition to attain perfection on earth ....

B.D. 8523 from June 9th 1963, taken from Book No. 90

Consider, you humans, that you are weak as long as your soul still lives on earth in the flesh, and that you therefore always have to request strength from Me if your want to reach your goal .... your perfection .... while you are still on earth. For only the strength from Me will strengthen your will, which is weak as long as the adversary can still influence a person because he is not perfect yet. Your determination especially will always be undermined by him, and I died on the cross for the sake of reinforcing your will, hence you must avail yourselves of the graces acquired on your behalf: strength and reinforcement of your will. And your weakness will always manifest itself such that you are not yet able to completely detach yourselves from the world .... Admittedly, you still live in the midst of the world and therefore have to do justice to all demands .... But there is a difference whether you just fulfil your duties or still want to enjoy earthly pleasures yourselves, whether your heart has already freed itself from worldly wishes or still has earthly longings .... For then your will to achieve spiritual perfection is still weak, its aim for Me and desire to unite with Me is not undivided .... You still make concessions and thus have to 'apply force' .... you must seriously try to accomplish detaching yourselves from the world and this requires strength which you have to request time and again, and which you will also always receive ....

Hence it is crucial as to which direction your sincere will turns to .... towards Me and My kingdom or towards My adversary .... And again it is your degree of love which determines the choice of your will's direction, for a heart full of love will always find Me and My kingdom more desirable than the earthly world .... Therefore you should first examine yourselves as to how far you have overcome selfish love .... to what extent you are filled by selfless neighbourly love, for this is the same as love for Me, and only this love establishes union with Me .... not the mere longing for Me, which can be selfish love as well in order to gain the highest delights of blissful unison with Me .... However, the right love for Me is only demonstrated by unselfish neighbourly love. And only this raises the degree of love. As long as you still desire small pleasures for yourselves you should also try to give a little pleasure to your neighbour, yet without calculating earthly or spiritual advantages, but urged from within by the desire to give happiness and joy. Such selfless demonstrations of love will refine your nature, you will find your own happiness in giving pleasure because your love will grow increasingly stronger and at the same rate diminish your love for the world. And this is why you should seriously call yourselves to account as to whether you love your neighbour as yourselves ....

Your perfection depends entirely on the degree of love you attain on earth, and you can only be called 'children of God' if you acknowledge that your fellow human beings likewise originated from the Father and you therefore also love them like one brother loves another and do everything for him that you would like to have done to yourselves. Always subject your neighbourly love to serious criticism and work at improving yourselves .... request the strength from Me and you will reach your goal, yet you won't be able to achieve anything by your own efforts .... But I want you to perfect yourselves on earth, consequently I will also help you in every way as long as you seriously want it .... Yet you will always have to apply force as long as this world still keeps you captivated .... If, however, you can detach yourselves from the world then the attainment of the goal will also become steadily easier, and then you can rightly say 'My yoke is easy, and My burden is light ....' Then you will no longer need to use force, then you will be full of strength, and then you will only strive towards Me .... for the love in you is the strength which indeed achieves anything. And you can also understand that a loving human being is full of humility .... which expresses itself in his conduct towards his neighbour to whom he gives his love .... Never forget that neighbourly love is the indicator .... and that you will have to prove your love for Me through selfless neighbourly love ....'for he that loveth not his brother whom he hath seen, how can he love God whom he hath not seen?' And thus your will can indeed be inclined towards Me and this also guarantees that I will take hold of you and not let you fall again ....Yet the degree of your perfection is determined by yourselves and only ever by the degree of love for your fellow human being .... But you can attain it if you sincerely subordinate your will to Mine, and then you will always think, act and want like I do Myself, and you will surely reach your goal on earth .... to unite with Me in order to be eternally happy ....

Amen

Promise of divine love care in greatest need ....

B.D. 8524 from June 10th 1963, taken from Book No. 90

And even if you will lose everything you still have Me, Who is lord over everything, over the universe, over the kingdom of light and that of darkness, you have Me, from Whom everything emerged and Who can truly also preserve everything in greatest adversity. And if you just possess the faith that I help you, you will also be preserved, no matter how small the possibilities for it seem to be. But I know what you need, and that you will also receive. Furthermore I am also able to keep you alive out of My power, which flows over in you, because Him, Who called everything into life, what you see, is also truly possible to keep you alive through His will. And you are to believe in this, and you will fearlessly expect the coming disaster; you will always know yourselves to be safe in My protection and My love care, and you will then also think and act in My will. Around you there will be incomparable trouble, and you will not need to fear this trouble, and in a wonderful way you will come into possession of what you need and through this also be able to prove to fellowmen the power of faith. And then you should only ever point to the great goodness, love and power of God, even if fellow human beings want to deny Him .... You are to make them acquainted with Me, Who also gave them life and longs for their return to Me. And it will also be easy for you to speak in view of the great misery of men, who are hit so hard exactly because of their unbelief and feel everything far more difficult than you, who know about the meaning and purpose of everything what comes. Your calmness and composure in the face of earthly events, your strong faith and the visible help you experience will nevertheless lift many people up, they will think and can also attain faith if only they are of good will. But the others are still in the power of My opponent, and they will also try to assert themselves and do this at the expense of their fellowmen. And by this you can recognize the spiritual attitude of these, and as soon as they can again record earthly successes, you know that he has helped them who wants to plunge them into ruin .... And these will also find their followers on a far greater scale than you, who seek to draw people over to you and would like to inform them of the spiritual kingdom and its lord .... You yourselves are never allowed to despair; you are just to always long for My presence; you are to join Me the more intimately the greater the trouble becomes, which has to come over men because of their state far from God and which therefore will also touch you. But it will always be bearable for you, because I know the ones who are Mine, and the ones who are Mine call to Me and will not be left without help. Then you are not to despair, and whether still so great distresses arise for you .... My power is stronger, and My love never ceases, and so I will always be with you, you who receive My word and seek to spread it, you who accept My word and live it out .... You need never fear that the father will abandon His children, for I will heed every call and help where help is needed .... Only firmly believe in Me, in My love and in My power. And do not be afraid to speak of Me and My love to those who have not yet found Me, who do not know Me as a God of love and who therefore also know nothing about the cause and purpose of their adversity. You are then to preach the gospel to them, just as I Myself have instructed you .... you are to give Me Myself the opportunity to speak through you, and also announce to them an imminent end, so that they prepare themselves for it before it is too late. And when they will see in you the effect of a deep, living faith, then also in them faith will revive or become stronger, and the small flock of Mine can still increase, because every soul is still wrestled for until the end, but which then is no longer far. Earthly goods are still at your disposal, but these you are to use for work in love; you are to acquire spiritual goods for yourselves, which last, because you must give up the earthly goods when this is My will .... And then it will be recognizable who belongs to Mine, for he will hand out what he still possesses, and he will again and again receive from Me proofs of favour of My love and power and truly need to suffer no hardship .... And you humans should always bear in mind that there is one Who truly has power over heaven and earth, for Whom nothing is impossible and Whose love is unlimited .... And to this one you should call even now and then in the great adversity which befalls you humans .... Pray that your faith will reach that strength where you leave everything to Me without hesitation, where you give yourselves to Me and place yourselves under My will .... And truly, the father will not abandon His children, He will hear every call and distribute the gifts of His love where they are awaited in deep, living faith ...._>Amen

Vineyard work not without effect ....

B.D. 8525 from June 11th 1963, taken from Book No. 90

Again and again I must admonish you to eager work for Me and My kingdom. You should not tire and consider your work useless, even if you seem to have little success. But consider that only few people occupy themselves with spiritual thoughts, that their thoughts are mostly worldly directed .... but that only spiritual thoughts can have an effect on souls in the kingdom on the other side and that they need help quite urgently as soon as they are still close to earth because of their low degree of maturity. They can only understand you by following your thoughts, and if these are now spiritually directed they can draw the greatest blessing from it ..... Only few people move in spiritual areas because these areas alone have become their purpose in life .... Few people work consciously for Me and My kingdom, even if contact with Me is cultivated in church organisations .... but then always only at certain times and within a certain framework .... But only the living connection with Me has a beneficial effect, and this is only established by few people .... Therefore those souls in the beyond have only few possibilities to join sources of light where they themselves are also allowed to receive light .... which they however do where only through sparks of light such a source is visible on earth .... And for the sake of these souls who urgently need you for their further development .... especially in the first time after their departure from earth .... you should be eagerly active yourselves and serve Me in My vineyard. You should neither let yourselves be distracted nor influenced by apparent failures .... I know about every effect of that what you undertake in the service for Me, and I also know about all thoughts, and also the circle of the souls in the beyond, which fetch food from you, I determine .... i.e., I point them to you, which you can help them in their trouble. And since you receive truth directly from Me you are also surrounded by truth-hungry souls, by souls which on earth were difficult to determine to accept spiritual knowledge because nothing seemed credible to them, but which nevertheless led a way of life which did not put them into darkness after their departure .... but which nevertheless cannot leave earthly nearness because they are still too earthbound through their inclination towards the earthly world .... But now they have recognized that they no longer live in the earthly world, they seek to find support with people on earth who assist them in their spiritual poverty .... They long for true spiritual good and feel it that they find this with you. You are so necessary for these souls because they earnestly strive upwards and are now also instructed by Me Myself through you so that they quite safely reach the aim .... And you must never let this source of life dry up for those souls .... after all, even in the kingdom of the beyond time is still limited, and the work has to be done on all those who enter the spiritual kingdom to introduce them to divine truth, to proclaim to them the gospel of love which they neglected on earth, and thus to be right guides for them on the path to ascent .... Countless souls are called away and arrive in a little developed state in the kingdom on the other side .... And what they therefore missed in earth life they must make up for and need right instruction for it, which you can impart to them through eager spiritual work, which therefore is never done in vain .... You must never forget that such places are rare, where I Myself can hand out the water of life, the bread out of heaven .... but that exactly at such places also the right food is to be got for those immature souls, which truly demand it, because they feel the effect of this divine food and are exceedingly grateful for the help given to them, which they again also want to give to other souls, and that is why the work of redemption draws immense circles for you. What I give to you men through My address, that also countless souls receive in the kingdom on the other side, and as long as therefore this intimate contact with you is possible, this also means a redeeming mission to the souls on the other side, which certainly also have enough teachers in the spiritual kingdom, but after their passing away on earth are still so far connected with earth that you have greater possibilities, spiritual knowledge to them than those beings of light, which are only allowed to approach them in a veiled form and are only listened to by the souls when they have already somewhat understood all correlations, when they already possess a degree of light which now also allows them to gratefully accept the help of the beings of light in the beyond and they then also ascend inexorably ....... Believe that no work you carry out for Me and My kingdom is in vain .... Every spiritual thought has a beneficial effect, and no spiritual thought is lost but has an effect as strength on those souls which are to be helped to ascend ...._>Amen

The will of man often sets limits to the power of God ....

B.D. 8526 from June 12th 1963, taken from Book No. 90

My power is truly great, and there is nothing what would be impossible for Me to do ..... And yet, My power is also limited by the free will of My living creations, for everything is subject to the law of eternal order, and thus free will can also establish barriers, My activity must also take place within this legal order, otherwise perfection could be denied to Me which, however, is in turn the basis of the law of eternal order .... This can also be defined in such a way that I, in My supremely perfect being, also only ever use My power to the extent that I recognize it to be beneficial, whereby I always take the beings' free will into account .... otherwise it would truly be easy to reshape everything that exists and has become imperfect into supreme perfection .... But then free will would have to be passed over, it would have to be made unfree, and then you would eternally only remain creatures which came forth out of My power .... And since you men are now creatures which have stepped out of the eternal order and do not rightly direct free will, you yourselves put barriers on Me to appear as omnipotent being, because every proof of My unlimited power would only be a compulsion of will for you, which would miss the purpose with you, because you would then have to subordinate yourselves to Me, which however must be and remain an act of free will to become most perfect. My power is indeed everywhere recognizable, for every work of creation proves it to you, yet you take the whole of creation for granted and do not think about the fact that it confirms to you an omnipotent and wise creator, but you could, in free will, prompt Me to give you obvious evidence of My power if your faith were so strong that I could also grant you requests .... But you still lack this, and therefore I also have to hold back .... But I can only assure you again and again that nothing is impossible for Me .... that I can fulfil every request for you if you yourselves do not impose a restriction on Me through your will, which has not yet completely entered into My will. You must not forget that you are divine creatures, that you were once images of Me and that you are .... as having come forth from Me .... will also eternally remain divine creatures, even in the state of your imperfection .... And therefore also the free will remains with you, which is the sign of your divine origin .... And My power now adapts itself to your free will by not expressing itself where limits are set for it through free will. But it is not to be denied to Me, and I will always use it when I recognize in My wisdom that My creatures constantly move away more from Me when they are to take their test of will on earth as man .... And then I do not use My power against My creatures after all, but only against the one who unlawfully seeks to keep My creatures in darkness .... when he exceeds his authority, when he seeks to deprive My creatures of every possibility to take cognizance of Me by making My existence seem questionable and unproven to people .... For I must be recognized if the human being is to relinquish his decision of will, and therefore I will also always reveal Myself to people .... But if My opponent tries to prevent this, then his hour has also come where chains are put on him. Then My power will express itself unrestrictedly, then I will quite obviously appear to restore order, but then also every compulsion of will will switch off, because then also men can no longer use their will, since they have forfeited the right to mature on earth, and will again be banished in the creations of the new earth .... It is not a stronger power that imposes restrictions on My power but it is My love, which, coupled with wisdom, does everything that is conducive to the final perfection of My creatures .... And My exceedingly great love sets limits even to My power when this is of blessing for My creatures .... But everything is possible for Me to achieve as soon as you men have completely entered into My will, when you trust Me unreservedly and believe in Me that I, as most perfect, can truly also accomplish everything .... But on earth you often determine My will yourselves, which leaves your will free so as not to endanger your final maturing .... But by no means are you allowed to doubt My power, even if it does not always express itself .... But at any time you can also determine Me to obvious proofs of My power when your love is so strong that you completely devote yourselves to Me. And if you ask Me in this childlike love .... Then you will truly cause Me to also work miracles, because nothing is impossible for Me as soon as you just believe ...._>Amen

"You shall be saved by grace ...."

B.D. 8527 from June 13th 1963, taken from Book No. 90

Remain deeply united with Me, and I will pour out My favours over you unlimitedly. You are just to gratefully accept them, and you will also not reject My gift of love when you join Me yourselves, when you pray to Me or carry out works of love and are thereby closely connected with Me. Everything that helps you upwards I give to you, and these are favours, because they are gifts of love, which are not your own merit, because you once rejected My love and therefore have no more right to it ..... But My love is exceedingly great, and it wants to give itself away, and that is why it pursues you and offers you gifts of favour, which are truly significant for you, because they are the means, which make your maturing possible. And your course of life is so directed by Me that every event can serve you to the best. Therefore everything is favour, what you meet in life, because it can promote your ascent development. But how you evaluate all these favours, that is left to you, because compulsion is excluded from My side. I bestow gifts upon you but do not force you to accept My gifts, your free will must decide on this. But without My help you would be completely incapable of maturing while still on earth; but if you seek contact with Me of your own accord, you will also certainly evaluate the gifts of grace I bestow upon you, for the bond with Me demonstrates your will which is turned towards Me, and it will then also subordinate itself to Mine and thus also recognize My love in everything it encounters .... And he will become blessed out of grace .... The whole earthly life as man is a grace, because I open up the last possibility for him to return again as a perfected spiritual being into the kingdom, which he once had left voluntarily .... And what can happen from My side during earth life to help man to perfection, that also happens. These are all favours, which My love gives to My creatures, which no being can claim, because they once left Me voluntarily, but which prove My great love, which I feel as father towards My children. I want to remedy the great weakness of men, their shortcoming, and give them so much favour and power that they can carry out the return to Me themselves, and I also want to strengthen their will, which must tackle the work of transformation itself .... I will not omit anything that could contribute to the soul's ascent to Me .... only one thing I cannot do .... make your will unfree and forcibly pull you up .... That is why you men yourselves also set limits to My supply of favour, because as soon as you do not voluntarily evaluate them, they remain without success, and no matter how deep My love is and would like to win you for Me. But I will not make free unfree; I will not curtail a man's free will .... And that is the reason for the spiritual low of men, who leave all My gift of favour unused and unnoticed and therefore do not get any step further in their development and therefore are also once again put before the decision in the last faith struggle .... where their responsibility will be presented to them. Because it also then again depends on them themselves how they adjust themselves to Me, to their God and creator, whom they once did not want to acknowledge and therefore became unhappy. Also now only the right decision of will is necessary that help is given to man in great measure .... that also now again graces without measure are at his disposal and that he truly can also reach the aim to establish the final union with Me, which makes him again to My child, to the original being, which it was in the beginning .... In every way I seek to change the will of man, which is still directed towards Me; in every way I bear My love to man, and he only needed to feel touched by it to now also give Me his whole will .... But everything has to happen voluntarily .... And this is to be helped by My word, which sounds down from above to earth .... My word is to stimulate man to live out My love commandments, and truly, man will now voluntarily turn towards Me, because with every work of love he also establishes the bond with Me and I now also seize him and eternally no longer let him fall .... That is why My word from above is the greatest and most effective gift of favour, which you are all allowed to receive and only need to open your heart when you are addressed by Me, because then you give your will to Me, and I no longer let you go from Me; I accompany you on all your ways, and you will establish the connection with Me more and more often, because you will no longer leave Me out of your thoughts .... Then you will also evaluate all blessings correctly, you will take every opportunity where you can carry out works of love, for My supply of blessings also means the supply of strength which you will always use for works of love. And then you will truly have become happy out of grace, and you will return to your father's house as My children ...._>Amen

Explanation and meaning of the work of redemption ....

B.D. 8528 from June 14th 1963, taken from Book No. 90

When again and again explanations about the work of redemption of Jesus Christ are sent to you, then this happens because few men just measure the deep meaning of it and that is why it has to be said again and again that earth life has not fulfilled its purpose when man does not take a stand in this towards Jesus Christ and His work of redemption. For on this alone depends his redemption from the great original sin, which he himself can never pay off, and whether he would also always again return to earth .... That original sin consisted in the voluntary turning away from Me, the rejecting of My love power, in the arrogance of the beings, which also thought themselves powerful without My supply of power .... And the sin was so great because the beings were radiant with light, thus they stood in brightest realization .... They consciously rebelled against Me, Whom they did not see but nevertheless recognized as their God and creator, and they followed the being which they could see, which had emerged from Me first and was also the first to fall away from Me and rejected Me and My love .... The beings' entire apostasy was an offence against Me which was so severe that they would never have been able to make atonement for this guilt and would never have done so of their own accord, rather, they turned hostile towards Me and constantly distanced themselves further from Me .... They rejected My strength of love, which now could no longer work either because it met with resistance .... And thus these beings lost their life because the life force, the love, no longer flowed through them .... They hardened within themselves, the strength once emanated as a being was lifeless, it no longer operated, and everything was dead that was once created as a living being .... That this power once emanated by Me was now reshaped into creation has been explained to you again and again, and also the course of the fallen beings through this creation up to man .... Now the being is again self-aware and has already reached a certain degree of maturity .... but it is still burdened with the great original sin for which it can never make atonement itself, neither in earthly life nor in the kingdom of the beyond .... But one day it shall return again, and this can only happen through the redemption of the original sin, which was accomplished through a sacrifice of an incomparable kind by a human being Who offered Himself to Me as a sacrifice of atonement, Who laid down His life in dreadful agony out of love for His fellow human beings whose state of wretchedness He recognized, and Who wanted to help them to find their way back to Me and to be able to enter the kingdom of light and bliss again .... The great sin of apostasy from Me could only be redeemed through love .... But no human being could muster love any longer since the being had rejected every illumination of love .... Only a being could make this atonement which itself was permeated by love, which was intimately united with Me as the eternal love .... But a human being, due to his former departure from the eternal order, was no longer capable of love to the extent that he could have made such a sacrifice of devotion .... And so a being of light offered Himself .... an original spirit, Which faithfully remained with Me during that apostasy of spirits and was therefore still full of love, offered to make this sacrifice to Me, for I could only accept such a sacrifice of love as atonement, because the original sin consisted in the rejection of love from Me .... And that soul of light, which embodied itself in the man Jesus, made a unique sacrifice .... Jesus laid down His life on the cross in order to give mankind .... those once fallen beings .... the bliss, the life, again. He died on the cross and suffered unspeakably for all mankind .... And I was satisfied with this sacrifice which love brought .... For love is My fundamental nature, and thus I Myself was in the man Jesus, I Myself atoned for the great guilt .... And you humans must also acknowledge this sacrifice of Jesus in earthly life, through His acknowledgement you must also acknowledge Me Myself and, as it were, confess that you have sinned against Me by now feeling like My creatures again, by giving Me your love again, by acknowledging Me Myself in Jesus and asking Me for forgiveness of your great guilt .... You must consciously want to become free from your guilt and go to the one Who has made atonement for you. You cannot pass by Jesus Christ otherwise you will not be eternally free of your guilt .... Consider that everything you see around you, the whole universe with all creations, only came into being as a result of your former fall into sin .... consider what effect this apostasy from Me had and that now one has come to earth Who took your great guilt upon Himself and thus went the path to the cross .... so that the work of return from the abyss to the height could also be completed with the final success, so that the being is allowed to step before the father's face again pure and blameless .... And then you will also recognize the great significance of Jesus' work of redemption and know that this is your actual purpose of earthly life, to come into contact with Him .... the divine redeemer Jesus Christ .... and to be guided by Him onto the right path which leads home into the father's house. Consider that you can in no way redeem the original sin yourselves, that you have to accept the help of Him Who alone was full of love and did not defend to divine love Himself ....My everlasting illumination .... Who shaped Himself into the receptacle of My love and prepared a dwelling for Me so that I could take full and complete possession of Him .... Consider that the eternal love Itself has redeemed the guilt of sin for you, and accept this work of mercy if you want to become blessed and return to the father again, from Whom you once came forth as supremely perfect .... And do not pass by Jesus Christ, for without Him you cannot be saved ...._>Amen

Encouragement for diligent vineyard work ....

B.D. 8529 from June 15th 1963, taken from Book No. 90

The fact that I Myself arouse the thoughts in you to convey My Word to those who will derive the greatest benefit from them should also spur you to carry out diligent spiritual work. People so often ponder over questions which I answer for them through you, and often they are delighted that they are granted this answer and thereby also recognise Me Myself and My activity .... Nothing truly happens by chance and I know every thought .... I convey My Word to you and Am therefore in constant contact with those of you who also think of Me, for it requires a heartfelt bond for My Word to affect you, be it directly but also indirectly, if you receive it through My messengers. But you, to whom I can speak directly, should use every opportunity to pass it on and always know that you thereby radiate many blessings, that nothing is done in vain and that I Myself guide you and direct your thoughts and only require your will to let yourselves be guided by Me .... Once a person has recognised My voice, every Word from Me will be a tonic for his soul, and the right nourishment and right refreshment will constantly be desired by him .... He will no longer be satisfied with human words, My Word alone will grant him strength and his soul will nourish itself by what it is offered from the Father Himself .... And thus you can believe that I will always be willing to pass the bread of heaven to those who long for it .... You will also feel urged to pass My Word on and shall always comply with your inner urging and truly, you will spray sparks of light in many a heart which ignite a fire again. And the desire for Me and My presence will grow ever stronger, it is the purpose of My address from above that people shall be affected by it and that their faith in Me will come increasingly more alive, that their desire to unite with Me becomes ever stronger and that My will, which is revealed to people through My Word, is subsequently also complied with .... Through diligent vineyard work you can contribute much towards it, hence you should not tire in distributing My Word and make use of every opportunity to inform your fellow human beings of the divine transmissions from the spiritual kingdom .... of the working of the spirit in the human being .... which I Myself promised when I lived on earth .... You should try to draw your fellow human beings onto the spiritual level, which certainly is hard work but it can be achieved .... Your willingness to serve Me, and your love for your neighbour will always let you find the right path, for I Myself direct your thoughts and will always be active in you as well. I will lead the people to you whom you should please again, and I watch over you so that your work will not be disturbed by My adversary. And therefore you can rest assured that you are not at his mercy even if he would like to stop you and your activity on earth .... The end is approaching and I need your work in My vineyard, for people need to speak up where I Myself cannot express Myself but where I also want to be active so that people will attain beatitude .... For time is coming to an end and much work shall yet be done, this is why I bless every one of My servants who works for Me and My kingdom ....

Amen

Prerequisites for hearing God's Word ....

B.D. 8530 from June 15th 1963, taken from Book No. 90

If you are able to hear My Word within you then the relationship of a child to its Father will have been restored, then you will carefully listen within and hear My speech because you desire to be addressed by your God and Father of eternity. In that case you have made the right decision of will, for the soul .... the incarnated original spirit on earth .... will never be able to hear My Word against its will, but it has voluntarily come steadily closer to Me and changed itself into love again so that it can subsequently hear My voice once more, as it was in the beginning. Although the return to Me will indeed have taken place, nevertheless, the souls' degree of maturity can considerably differ according to the degree of love, which can continuously be raised and thereby My Word can be heard ever more clearly .... It is always an influx of My thoughts into the human heart .... It is always a manifestation on My part to a person who is closely united with Me through love .... My voice is not heard by the human ear, I speak through the spirit to the soul which, in turn, conveys the Words to the intellect, and this accepts the Words and determines the human being's will to write them down in order to preserve what My love wants to reveal to people .... These thoughts are radiated by Me from the spiritual kingdom, for the human being as such would be unable to provide himself with the kind of knowledge which is imparted to him through My revelations .... because all thoughts are flowing to him from the spiritual kingdom and it merely depends on their place of origin how they may be used .... Hence, the fact that I Myself Am able to speak to a person is already proof that the original state will soon be attained, otherwise the person would be incapable of hearing My voice. Every human being can certainly prepare himself as a receiving vessel for My flow of spirit which affects the person in the form of My Word .... Yet people only rarely know this, and only rarely will a person reshape himself again into that which he once voluntarily rejected. But anyone who does, will, through living a life of love, also attain the living faith that I speak to him, that he is able to hear Me, and then he will also attentively listen within ....

And truly, I will reveal Myself to him, he will hear the Word again as in the beginning and be very happy. For he will receive extensive knowledge, he will regain the realisation he once had lost .... he will become brightly enlightened, and through his close contact with Me he will also receive spiritual strength, which flows over to him through My Word. His dormant abilities will be reawakened, because love must awaken them first .... The person will increasingly deify his soul and unreservedly fulfil his purpose of life on earth: He will completely unite with Me again and be able to enter the kingdom of the beyond in a perfect state after the death of his physical body .... Yet a person only rarely forms such a heartfelt bond with Me that he can hear My Word in him .... But if it happens then it will also be in conjunction with a mission: to pass My Word on to those whom I cannot address directly because not all prerequisites for it are present .... Thus, it also provides Me with the opportunity to inform people of My will, for all people should know My will in order to subsequently comply with it .... And anyone who accepts My revelations will also make an effort to live according to My will, and then every one will be able to shape himself such that I can address him directly .... be it by either steering his thoughts in the right direction or by enabling him to read My Word which is conveyed to Earth directly. But his will must always be willing to listen to Me, if that is the case, he will only ever derive a blessing from My Word whether it is given to him directly or conveyed to him through My messengers .... But every person is blessed if he has the inner conviction that God Himself speaks to people .... everyone is blessed who has the grace of being informed of My Word .... blessed is he, who does the work of improving himself such that he becomes a receiving vessel for My spirit .... For he can be certain of My presence, My presence will manifest itself to him when he hears Me Myself in him, and then he will also know that he is not far away from Me and his goal, when he will be ultimately united with Me, when he will hear My Word again as it was in the beginning, when he will be able to communicate with Me and be eternally happy ....

Amen

Man must be given knowledge through vineyard work ....

B.D. 8531 from June 16th 1963, taken from Book No. 90

Extensive knowledge is supplied to you, which you are to pass on, so that the night of the spirit is broken through and a light shines into it, which enlightens the way to Me. As long as you men are completely ignorant, your thoughts will always only occupy yourselves with worldly things, and only when the connections are explained to you, in which relationship you yourselves stand to Me, your God and creator, when a truthful knowledge is made accessible to you about creator and creation and yourselves as creatures of an exceedingly powerful, wise and loving being, your thoughts will also occupy yourselves with it, and you now only live purposefully on earth. You men will have to admit it yourselves that however such thoughts move you all little; you will experience that your fellowmen are not to be addressed by you when you want to bring this knowledge to them .... you will have recognized that they don't want to think about it, that they reject you as if you were hostile towards them .... And you can see in this the evidence that they are still in the fetters of the adversary who will always influence them to close their hearts to the truth when it is brought to them .... There is also little prospect to enlighten fellowmen in the spiritual field; their thoughts are predominantly turned towards the world and earthly goods, and every spiritually directed thought they reject because it worries them and hinders them in their desire for the world. Very occasionally also men break away from the fetters of My opponent by them listening to you and thinking, and then there is already the possibility that light beings intervene and can direct their thinking right. Then man will demand to know more, and then he will also receive answers to the questions, which he mentally asks. And for the sake of these few I again and again give you the assignment to be tirelessly active, to offer your spiritual knowledge to fellowmen and to undauntedly carry out vineyard work despite apparent failures, which always only consists of informing fellowmen of My work on and in you and to spread the spiritual results .... Anyone who once immerses himself in the knowledge which My great love imparts to you will now also understand the meaning and purpose of creation and of the human being himself, and this knowledge alone will make him happy, because only then will it give his life the right content .... plus the awareness that the human being is loved by the being Which called him into being; that this being wants to bestow supreme beatitude upon him will make him happy and make him seek frequent contact .... And I will offer Myself to him as a guide and always turn My love towards him so that he will recognize Me and also learn to love Me .... Therefore I reveal Myself again and again and only want that My revelations are also passed on to fellowmen, that also these feel addressed by Me and now also consciously strive towards Me, that they are anxious to lead a life in My will .... that they seek to fulfil My commandments and therefore live in love .... and through love now also establish the bond with Me. The extensive knowledge, which is sent to you, gives you information about My nature, My work and My plan of salvation from eternity, which only aims at the return of the spiritual, which once fell away from Me .... You humans only know little about it, and that is why there is also only little love for Me in you .... But if you become enlightened about My nature and about My eternal plan of salvation, then the love spark can be ignited in you, and you feel drawn towards Me, Whom you recognize as love, wisdom and power, and then My love already draws you, which longs for your approach to Me, to be able to make you happy unlimitedly. That knowledge breaks through and chases away the darkness of spirit, in which you walk; it becomes light even in you, and in this light you feel well and no longer desire back darkness. For the light goes out from Me, while My adversary is the prince of darkness .... And as long as you are completely ignorant, as long as it is still dark in you, My opponent still has you in his power .... But if you desire light, then you also desire Me, and then I can give you light, because your desire proves the voluntary turning towards Me, which My opponent cannot prevent, but which I reward, in that I now take possession of you and will illuminate you always more, because I now can radiate through you again with My love through your free will, which is meant for Me. He who has ears to hear, let him hear .... This applies to all of you men that you are to listen to My messengers when they come to you and want to bring you knowledge, which will truly make you happy, because knowledge is light, and every light is preferable to darkness. Man will feel it beneficially and desire ever brighter light .... and his desire will be fulfilled, for I, Who am the light from eternity, do not deny Myself to any being who wants to enter My light .... I radiate the light, and everyone who opens himself will be touched by My ray of love-light .... I reveal Myself to everyone, and everyone can become knowledgeable because he is truthfully instructed by Me Myself as soon as he only desires light ...._>Amen

Feeding the right soul food ....

B.D. 8532 from June 17th 1963, taken from Book No. 90

A right food and a right drink shall be offered to you from above, a nourishment at which the soul can feast and refresh itself, which helps it to strengthen and heal itself. Because as long as you still stay as man on this earth, your soul is still weak and ill, and it needs good food and healing medicine. I offer it to you Myself, for I know the state of your souls and do not want you to leave this earthly life inadequately and enter the spiritual kingdom inadequately .... I want you to perfect yourselves, and I also truly give you everything you need to achieve this perfection. The soul is to come to life, which it no longer loses for ever. And therefore also food must be supplied to it, which guarantees life; it must draw power out of this food to mature; it must therefore also approach the giver of food and drink to receive that out of his hand, what helps it to eternal life. And what I now present to it, when it steps to My table to be fed by Me, that truly has a value for the soul, which is inestimable .... It receives a measure of power out of My hands, which helps it to cover the way up effortlessly, and at the same time it receives a light that it also recognizes the way, which leads to Me, back into its father house. No man is allowed to believe to reach the destination on earth without any help, because his soul is weak and blind at the beginning of its life as man, and its eyes must be opened; it must receive power, if it wants to come to life .... It is therefore dependent on good food, which again only I Myself can give to it, because I possess everything what it lacks. I will offer it the bread out of heaven, the water of life, and truly, as soon as it enjoys it, its weak, lifeless, dark state will change; it will revive itself and now also go full of eagerness the way, which is shown to it, because it now also feels the power in itself, and it longs for Him, Who continuously lets food and drink go to it. It enters from the state of death into the state of life, it will no longer move away from the source where it can draw the clear water of life. Again and again it will approach the host's table in order to receive delicious food from Him, for the more it enjoys it the stronger its desire for it will become, and it will constantly let itself be satiated by Me and this truly not to its detriment .... Only who establishes and maintains the connection with Me can be fed and watered by Me directly, strength will constantly flow to him, and he will be placed into a state of light which will make him happy and let him strive ever more eagerly for Me, Whom he now also recognizes as his God and creator, Who wants to be recognized as father by the human being because He wants to make him happy as father forever .... And again and again I will reveal Myself to people .... i.e. open up a spring from which the water of life can now flow, which is to bring recovery to the soul .... Again and again I will call My guests to My table in order to take supper with them Myself, i.e., to hand out to them the food and drink they need in order to reach their aim .... Again and again I will send My word from above to people, which they are to listen to, move in their hearts and subsequently become active, for they require direct help from above, which My love will also grant to them .... Only their free will now has to become active, for even the most precious gift from Me will exert no compulsion on the human being, it has to be evaluated voluntarily in order to then, however, be of greatest blessing for the soul, which loses its weakness and blindness, which powerfully and with sight walks the path upwards because it strives towards the aim, the union with Me .... Then it can never ever get lost, then it has used My strength beamed to it correctly, it has matured and now also goes towards its perfection .... It is My share, and therefore I will not rest until I have regained it for Myself, and I truly use all means to achieve this aim .... For I want the blind to see, the weak to be strengthened, the sick to be healed and everything to come back to life, which had voluntarily chosen death .... but which I will never leave in the state of death but help it to life, which lasts forever ...._>Amen

God needs His servants ....

B.D. 8533 from June 18th 1963, taken from Book No. 90

I can give you back everything you lose, for My power is great .... But I also know that I must sometimes take from you what your heart still clings to if I want to render you a service .... And then you should surrender to My will and know that it is necessary for your soul's salvation .... And as soon as the danger is removed, I will also give to you again abundantly, and you will need to suffer no hardship .... In the coming time you will never need to worry about earthly things, for I know what you need and this you will also receive; but I presuppose that you do faithful work as My servants, that you constantly remember your mission, which you are to fulfil .... that you pass on My word to your fellow human beings, which you receive directly from Me .... And you can believe it that I as a good house father look after My servants because I need you, I still want to come to the help of many men that they reach their aim on earth. And I will always be anxious to relieve all My servants of earthly worries so that they can be unhindered active for Me and My kingdom .... And when therefore difficult times will befall you, when you will be torn out of the ordered circumstances and get into a chaos, which seems to be insurmountable for you, then you also then need not worry, because I take over the worry for you, who can do everything, also what seems to be impossible for you. Because I need your help more and more urgently, which consists in sending the truth to men, who are entangled in a jumble of false doctrines, who again and again are deceived anew by My opponent and his following and need good guidance to find out of their spiritual darkness. Again and again I must emphasize that there is only one path to Me .... the path of truth .... And this I show you Myself by revealing Myself to you, by imparting to you an unusual knowledge which all people shall experience in order to tread the right path .... And so as long as I need a servant who has voluntarily taken on this task for Me to convey the truth to his fellow human beings, I will also receive him and again and again send him instructions so that he can feel guided by Me and he also fully trusts Me that I will helpfully assist him in his mission. And he can also always be certain of My help, after all, it is still necessary to carry out a rescue work of the greatest magnitude before the end, which can decide the fate of many souls .... And because this rescue work can only be carried out by few people who are devoted to Me in love and completely submit their will to Mine, I must also obviously work on these few people .... I must look after them bodily and spiritually, I must make them happy with My presence and address them directly, for strength is to be directed from Me to earth, which is now to fill people in the form of My word and which returns to the source, to the source of strength .... thus feeds souls to Me which were lost to Me for a long time but will inevitably return to Me one day .... The source of power from eternity now seeks a vessel for itself into which it can pour itself. And this vessel becomes a spring of life for fellowmen, because power can be received there at any time, because I Myself can now also supply My power current to those who are still far away from the original source, but have desire for power for their weakened souls. I always only think of the state of the soul of men, and this I want to improve, and that I can only achieve through supply of power out of Me, which often cannot take place directly and that is why loyal servants must serve Me, through whom I now can supply the power current to those .... Who knows about the great spiritual trouble in which mankind walks, he will also understand how immensely important the office is of him who serves Me, that I can let power flow directly out of Me to earth, who receives My word, the pure truth, which alone helps the souls to mature .... And the word recipient himself will also recognize the importance of his mission and hand himself over to Me in complete trust and only ever expect My instructions and willingly carry them out. And he is never to doubt that I need him, because his willingness to serve Me also enables him for this task, and since it is alone about the rescue of souls out of spiritual trouble, all earthly things step into the background, both the earthly living conditions as also the earthly body of him, who wants to serve Me. It is spiritual work, which is to be done; it is spiritual power, which expresses itself through My servants, and it is spiritual power, which also receives him earthly .... And no doubting thought is to arise in him, because body and soul serve Me, and power goes to both through My spirit, as long as I need a man that he serves Me and helps his fellowmen to the rescue of their souls ...._>Amen

Holding on to misguided spiritual knowledge .... Desire for truth ....

B.D. 8534 from June 19th 1963, taken from Book No. 90

It remains an impossible venture to convey the truth to people who believe that they already possess it, for they are unapproachable and don't accept anything, no matter how appealing it is offered to them .... They stubbornly hold on to the spiritual knowledge in their possession without considering whether it can lay claim to truthfulness. And the longer such spiritual knowledge continues to exist among the human race the harder it is to eradicate it, the darkness is so immense that no ray of light can penetrate it .... But since people deem themselves in possession of the truth, they will not appeal to Me Myself for truth either; consequently, it is not possible to convey truthful knowledge to them. And even if people debate the issue of truth and untruth at times, they only ever merely use their intellect and will therefore never reach the goal of recognising error and untruth correctly. The concept of the 'working of the spirit' in the human being is also incomprehensible to them. They only ever abide by the knowledge they accepted by way of education, which they believe to be true, and do not allow anything else to shake this belief .... And yet they are profoundly mistaken and don't realise it as a result of their spiritual darkness .... Imparting the pure truth to such a person will remain unsuccessful until a messenger of My Word succeeds in shaking this person's firm conviction, until he succeeds in clearly exposing the truth and in arousing the person's doubt so that he will dwell on it and thus there is a chance that his thinking might become enlightened. Even then, this will only be possible if a person lives a life of love .... But since especially people living in error prioritise unimportant, humanly decreed commandments while the commandments of love are often set aside or are merely marginally taken notice of, they lack the love which would grant them spiritual enlightenment .... And thus only a person's degree of love is decisive as to whether and to what extent he is receptive when purest truth is given to him .... Only a person who is willing to love will therefore feel affected by and be receptive for the truth, and only a person willing to love will accept My direct revelations and revise his present thoughts. In that case it will be a significant gain, for he will also advocate the truth wherever possible. Yet on the whole, all efforts of liberating people from erroneous thinking will be in vain, they will be unwilling to exchange it for the pure truth, they will resist the light and be content with deceptive light, which merely reduces their eyesight so that they are no longer able to recognise true light.

However, the truth does not establish itself forcibly, nevertheless, everything will be done to make it accessible to people, but where the resistance cannot be broken it will remain dark, because the people themselves offer resistance, which cannot be broken by force. And neither will large campaigns succeed in changing people's thoughts, for every human being is responsible for himself, and regardless of what a person's awakened spirit tries to explain, he will only ever be accepted where the ground has been prepared by a life of love, where the preconditions are in place for clear and correct thinking, for the recognition of truth. Therefore the error cannot be systematically eradicated either, every individual person must come to terms with it by wanting to know the truth. As long as this will, the desire for truth, is not present, every effort to teach people otherwise will be futile .... One can only ever try to motivate people to live a life of love, to explain to them the significance of love, that love is the only possibility for attaining beatitude and that all other actions and traditions won't benefit the soul in the slightest if love has not been kindled in a person. And if a person takes this message of love to heart and makes an effort to perform selfless deeds of love, much will have been achieved already. Then it will no longer be hopeless that he will think clearly, for love will ignite a light in him, it will awaken the spiritual spark to life and this will successfully influence the person from within .... He will doubt, question and also receive an answer as soon as he genuinely desires it. Nevertheless, a revival will only ever gradually take place, because people are already too engulfed by the darkness of night and they lack the will to reach the light. The conviction of knowing the truth is the most effective poison the adversary could have administered to people .... And yet, people who want to escape his influence are not hopelessly lost .... However, they have free will and therefore they can only ever be preached love and, depending on their fulfilment of the divine commandments of love, their spiritual state will change as well .... They will be able to step out of the darkness of night into the light of day, they will realise the truth and will subsequently also want to release themselves from error, and My strength and grace will always help them to accept the truth ....

Amen

The Revelation of John ....

B.D. 8535 from June 20th 1963, taken from Book No. 90

Everything concurring with My Word can be accepted and upheld by you as truth. And thus you will also know how to judge the mental concepts presented to you .... For this is what you, who are directly instructed by Me, must be able to do .... For you are required to reject everything that is wrong and advise your fellow human beings not to accept it.

Part of spreading the pure truth from Me also includes denouncing error as coming from the adversary and to protect yourselves as well as your fellow human beings from his influence. He equally makes use of human vessels in order to succeed, in order to undermine the pure truth, for he causes confusion amongst people who no longer know what to accept. But as soon as you recognise that My adversary is at work it is also your duty to take action against it. And therefore I want to provide you with an explanation which yet again can only be given to you by the One Who knows everything, to Whom nothing is hidden and Who is able to impart this knowledge through the spirit:

Many things are hidden from you humans which only I can reveal to you. And I have always informed seers and prophets of events which were still in the distant future. However, according to people's state of maturity My predictions or visions were usually veiled and always required an awakened spirit to summon the right understanding for it. And since many prophesies related to the last days before the end they also remained incomprehensible to people, because I Myself wanted to lift the veil when the time was right. The visions they saw were even concealed from My seers and prophets, and they described them partly impelled and partly enlightened by My spirit, which also let them behold and report things which were in the distant future. And thus records exist and were preserved until now which proclaim the visions of My disciple John .... records, which will be explained in the last days before the end and which previously were meaningless to people and consequently not understood by them. Yet they have a profound meaning, they merely depicted what My disciple who had received the spiritual vision had seen but who was unable to interpret his visions himself because it would not have been beneficial for him or his fellow human beings, since the whole time of development was still ahead of them, which was meant to be utilised through Jesus Christ's Salvation .... but knowledge of the visions' significance would have stifled all spiritual impetus .... thus it would have restricted free will. For I knew that My adversary's activity would take on immense proportions at the end of a period of salvation, and that humanity's spiritually low level would be so widespread at the end that the precise knowledge of it would have been damaging to people.

But I allowed My disciple to spiritually foresee all these manifestations of the end, yet in an awakened state .... when he recorded his visions .... he only saw images he didn't understand himself .... which thus was My will ....

You cannot fail to recognise Satan's activity in the last days, yet you humans have no idea of the immense spiritual disaster his activity will wreak on all human beings .... My disciple saw the clearly evident state of affairs in the last days as well as My adversary's activity which was the cause for the terrible vision, which showed his activity figuratively and which only remained veiled to people because they would have abandoned their spiritual endeavour in view of the failure and My adversary's supreme control.

But John also foresaw the fall into the abyss and My adversary's captivity, and for that reason the disciple's vision was intended to be preserved, for one day they will understand everything, if only in the spiritual kingdom when their spiritual state results in their realisation. And thus you know how to evaluate messages which are allegedly from above and yet originate from below .... You know that everything contradicting My Word is erroneous spiritual knowledge and particularly highlights My adversary's activity in the last days, who wants to cause confusion wherever possible and who avails himself of My name as a disguise in order to be believed ....

Be vigilant and don't allow yourselves to be driven into darkness .... when a bright light is shining for you which very clearly shows the path to Me, Who still wants to save all those people before the end who have the will to let themselves be saved. Look for Me in all sincerity and, truly, I will not let you fall into My adversary's hands, I will enlighten your thoughts if only you sincerely ask Me for the pure truth .... But then you will receive it through your heart, so that the intellect need not be involved, for My adversary avails himself of the intellect as long as the heart does not reject him.

You fully consciously have to break your connection with him who wants to corrupt the world .... You have to closely unite with Me and appeal to Me for My protection against his influence .... And truly, your prayer will be granted as soon as it is sent up to Me in spirit and in truth ....

Amen

God wants to answer questions .... Error ....

B.D. 8536 from June 21st 1963, taken from Book No. 90

Believe and do not doubt, for My Word to you from above is truth and everything you were foretold will come to pass .... You should believe that much will, in fact, evade your understanding as long as you are still unable to penetrate the depth of wisdom, but what I give to you now will still become comprehensible to you in due course .... Time and again I say to you that I instruct you in accordance with your degree of maturity, which you can raise at anytime, and that you also receive replies to questions posed by people on earth or by beings in the kingdom of the beyond which I answer through you .... But only at the stage of advanced maturity of soul will you possess profound understanding of My plan of creation and Salvation, then everything will be explicable to you, even that which presently still gives you reason to doubt. Only purest truth can originate from Me, and that I Am working in you through My spirit will have to be acknowledged, for I informed you of this process Myself when I lived on earth.

And you cannot accuse Me of being a liar, for I Myself Am truth .... You can only be comprehensively informed about the events of creation after you have achieved perfection yourselves, and knowledge that is already made available to you in advance will frequently give rise to questions from you .... And this is what I want to achieve, for I can constantly convey more to you when you occupy your mind with questions which only I Myself Am able to answer. Besides, I always want to stimulate your thoughts such that you will try to discover the mysteries of creation, because I want to give but require your desire in order to bestow upon you unlimited knowledge that also reaches into areas which are intellectually impenetrable.

The more profound your knowledge of truth the more illuminated you will be .... and then darkness will never scare you again .... Time and again I invite you to raise questions, so that you can recognise My love for you in the answers, which wants to grant your every request .... For as soon as you ask and expect a reply you open your heart to Me, and that also means that you prompt Me to take up residence in you, that you desire to be united with Me. And this is what I Am waiting for in order to bestow My unrestricted gift of grace upon you .... Therefore I will also always enlighten you about error, for it will draw the souls into ruin .... I will even illuminate your thoughts so that you will act in accordance with My will and proceed against error ....

For it will cause devastating confusion during the last days, because people would rather accept error as truth than allow themselves to be convinced of the pure truth. And thereby they stay in My adversary's realm, in darkness, and cannot find their way out. You, who receive My Word, have the task of fighting error and constantly confronting it with the truth, which will certainly be acceptable to every human being with good will. I will always help you to think and act correctly, to speak where I ask you to speak, for you have voluntarily offered your services to Me and I have accepted the same. You shall now work in accordance with My will, and therefore I can trust you with a task which only ever concerns the distribution of truth and the fight against error.

And it is for this reason that everything will approach you such that you will react to it in line with your feelings, because I Myself will trigger this feeling in you, thus I will also guide your thoughts such that they will serve your task. My adversary works with cunning and trickery .... I will take action against him and expose his doings, and it is only up to people themselves whether they will listen to Me and believe My Words .... Yet only love can recognise pure truth, where love is missing hardly any success can be expected .... Nevertheless, the truth about My adversary shall be revealed to people, and he will also disguise himself as an angel of light and not hesitate to use My name in order to deceive them and pull them onto a dangerous path, for it will lead into the abyss if people fail to recognise his activities in time and turn back .... I always want to help you with this, you need only approach Me and ask Me for the pure truth ....

Amen

'God sent His Son to Earth ....'

B.D. 8537 from June 22nd 1963, taken from Book No. 90

Time and again it is explained to you that Jesus' soul came from the world of light to earth in order to embody itself in the man Jesus for the sake of a mission which required a pure soul, for God Himself wanted to take abode in this soul, and He was only able to do that in a pure soul without sin .... He sent His Son to earth .... Can there be a clearer word to confirm this? It was a non-fallen soul, as opposed to the human souls which have to take the long process of development through the creations and start their human embodiment in a very imperfect state .... But that does not rule out that Jesus' soul had to struggle and fight incredibly hard against everything unspiritual which besieged it from outside .... for His body was immature matter and, due to the adversary's influence, the soul was badly besieged by these unredeemed substances .... All earthly passions clung to the body and its instincts, which still adhered to the body as part of the very immature substances, demanded gratification. Jesus' soul came to earth in a completely pure state, yet untold immature beings clung to it which the soul was not permitted to shake off; instead, it needed to pacify and mature them. Jesus, the man, was also inundated by external immature substances, his environment so affected His soul that it had to endure the same inner battles a fallen soul has to endure, and therefore it is untrue that because of His perfect soul it had been easier for the man Jesus to accomplish this act of Salvation .... On the contrary .... because it was pure and without sin .... His soul suffered far more in the immature environment, His pure soul reacted exceedingly sensitively towards sin, towards everything that due to the adversary's influence inundated Him on part of his fellow human beings .... The darkness which the soul of light had to stay in caused it indescribable pain and yet, it was filled by burning love for this sinful human race and wanted to redeem it from sin and death. So although everything of a satanic nature crowded Jesus soul, it nevertheless did not succeed in making Jesus Himself fall into sin. He withstood all temptations, He fought against His adversary as well as against everything unspiritual pestering Him .... His love for His brothers in need did not diminish and He also succeeded in spiritualising his body's unspiritual substances through love, which constantly increased, and so filled the man Jesus that the Eternal Love Itself took possession of Him, Which would never have been able to manifest itself in a sinful soul without causing it to perish .... Why won't you humans accept these Words 'He sent His Son to earth ....'? That which comes from Him is perfect and thus it is said 'He came down to earth' and not 'He ascended from the abyss ....' Although Jesus' soul was surrounded by satanic elements to a great extent, they approached His soul from outside and His soul nevertheless resisted them and did not allow itself to fall as God's adversary had intended .... Regardless of whether He was pestered by His body's immature substances .... or whether unredeemed beings were trying to cling to Him as Satan's emissaries .... His pure soul resisted and fended off everything of a satanic nature, whereas it matured its body's immature spiritual substances so that it was able to join the soul in a spiritualised state when Jesus had accomplished His act of love. As soon the soul entered the realm of darkness it was subjected to satanic forces yet it did not succumb to them, it resisted them instead because it was full of love and this love provided it with the strength to persevere until the end.

However, the soul brought love along from above, it did not sacrifice love, instead, it united itself increasingly more with the Eternal Love and thus the unification took place, which should be every person's ultimate goal on earth. Jesus, the human being, deified Himself on earth through His great love and His extreme suffering and agonising death .... Yet He, too, had to struggle in order to attain this deification, it did not come any easier to Him than any other person, for people also possess the divine spark of love and can constantly nourish and fan it into a bright flame .... They can appeal to Jesus for help, whereas Jesus only ever drew strength from love .... but this love sheltering within Him was God Himself. And then again, God was only able to shelter in a being without sin, He would never have been able to enter a fallen soul which had travelled the path of ascent through the creations .... a soul which had once fallen away from Him and rejected His love .... After all, this had been the original sin which burdened all fallen beings, and this original sin would have had to be redeemed first before a union with God was possible again .... Therefore, had the soul of the man Jesus been a 'fallen' soul, it would not have been redeemed prior to the crucifixion and God would never have been able to take abode in it .... However, He did shelter in Jesus for He was the Love .... God Himself had become human. God's human manifestation would never have been possible in any other way .... but this is and will remain the greatest mystery of all .... A pure being had to accomplish the act of atonement for humanity's original sin, for a fallen being was still subject to God's adversary's rule and would never have been able to muster the strength of detaching itself from the adversary, its prison guard .... Now it is possible for a person, because Jesus Christ died on the cross for it .... A soul of light had to take up the battle against the adversary and Jesus won this battle because His strength was love, because He waged this battle in unity with God Himself, the Eternal Love, and thus God Himself redeemed the human race from sin and death .... You humans need to be given the relevant information, for mistaken opinions will also lead to mistaken conclusions. Lucifer would not have had to fight against Jesus had he been in command of Him .... And every fallen soul is still subject to the adversary's control .... until it is redeemed by Jesus Christ .... No fallen soul would ever have succeeded in defeating the adversary .... The act of Salvation had not been accomplished as yet, therefore Jesus' battle would have been unsuccessful, for a fallen being which had once resisted God's strength of love had indeed received a tiny spark of love from God, but it would never have fanned it into a bright flame because the adversary would have stopped it and because the being itself was too weak .... You humans should understand that you lose yourselves in wrong thoughts if you don't let go of this opinion that Jesus' soul is Satan's share, thus once a fallen away spiritual being .... With this point of view you would only make the problem of God's human manifestation even more incomprehensible and questionable .... And therefore the pure truth must be repeatedly presented to you, for only the truth will enlighten you correctly and the truth will only ever come forth from God Himself ....

Amen

The course of development takes place in a lawful manner ....

B.D. 8538 from June 23rd 1963, taken from Book No. 90

You have to go through all phases of your ascent development, not one phase can be skipped, for just as your fall into the abyss also your ascent has to proceed, and that means that every particle of your dissolved soul, every small spark of strength once emanated by Me, has to unite again to form the self-aware soul and has to have passed through all works of creation, because only through this can the union of one particle with the other take place .... This will be incomprehensible to you because you also cannot imagine the multiplicity of My works of creation and because you are even less able to think that the whole of creation is present in miniature in your soul, that you as man would be able to see nothing what is not present in your soul. And so you will nevertheless be able to think to yourselves what immeasurable period of time has been necessary for this ascent development up to man, and if you then compare your earth life time with it, then you can truly only speak of a moment, as you go over earth as man, yet it appears very long to you, because you are sensitive to pain in this time and earth life as man is rich in sufferings and adversities of every kind .... yet not to be compared with the time of agonies, as your soul has gone dissolved through creation .... For as a human being it already possesses a certain freedom again, so that it is also able to feign a state of happiness for itself when it creates earthly pleasures for itself and fulfils earthly desires. But it is then still without knowledge of its actual nature that it can only find true happiness and inner peace when it moves again in eternal order .... a state which it should strive for in all earnestness in earth life in order to reach the aim for the purpose of which it goes over earth. The whole course of development from the depths to the height took place according to the law of eternal order .... No phase of development can be skipped, why I now again .... after the end of a redemption period and the beginning of a new one .... will determine the same lawfulness of the course of the newly banished beings .... that therefore every being which has failed as a human being and has sunk so low that it cannot be spared the new banishment .... will again be banished into hardest matter and step by step has to cover the course through all creations .... that it cannot already expect lighter deformations or a shortened renewed course through creation .... The new-born must submit to the law of eternal order and again languish endless times in bondage and agony, in order to once again be able to pass the free test of will in existence as man. This legal order cannot be overthrown, and no matter how deep My love is for My creatures .... It is about their perfection, and My love cannot anticipate or abolish a law, which My wisdom and love recognized as right and good. I can only do one thing, admonish and warn you men and submit this knowledge to you, so that you still change and strive for your aim in all seriousness, as long as there is still time. That is why I still pour out My favours over mankind to an extent that you men could all become happy, if you would only use them. And I can only always give you a truthful picture what it is about your human existence on earth; I can only urgently advise you to listen to explanations of this kind and to think them through. I cannot describe to you the time of your course through creation in the state of compulsion blackly enough, so that you think about it and do everything to escape this new banishment. For you can do it because I bestow grace upon you, because I Myself am always ready to help if you only show the slightest will to fulfil the purpose of your earthly existence .... But I cannot put you into a state of maturity against your will which eliminates a new banishment .... you must strive for it yourselves and find the way to Me and ask Me for help .... And you are to listen to My word, which shows you the right way to Me. Because with an earnest will you will also find Me, and then you are rescued and no longer need to fear a renewed banishment .... But I cannot depart from My law of eternal order .... I must respect your free will during your stay on earth as a human being .... I can only point out to you the endless torments that await you again if you do not change before the end of this earth, but I cannot force you to believe, I cannot force you to love .... But love and faith must fill you if you want to be spared from the last judgement, from the new banishment in the creations of the new earth ...._>Amen

Fight against error ....

B.D. 8539 from June 24th 1963, taken from Book No. 90

It is not possible to act harshly enough against error and therefore also against those who spread error, for they spread poison which causes great damage in people's souls .... You must always be aware of the fact that error cannot be harmless because it is the adversary's weapon with which he attacks the truth, against Me .... and that he only ever wants to pull you humans into ruin .... That is why you are to brand error wherever it is possible; you are to enlighten your fellowmen who stand in the favour to possess pure truth and also to recognize error as such. For it is not just a question of one teaching, which is formed through error, but this formation constantly draws new errors after it, until man can no longer free himself, if he is entangled in error .... There would never be this great darkness on earth when it would always only be about individual questions, which are answered incorrectly by the prince of darkness through the influx of wrong thoughts. But he has succeeded in bringing about a whole tissue of lies .... But in the times of the end truth is hardly accepted, men feel well in spiritual darkness, and they make no effort to come into possession of truth. And that is their downfall .... For thus they also do not find Me Myself, Who am only known through truth .... And My adversary finds many vessels into which he can inject his poison, which willingly receive what he utters and do not recognize in whose power they are .... And since the earthly world is his territory I can only ever counteract where people have already completed their detachment from him .... where unconditional devotion to Me has already taken place and I Myself can now also take possession of a human heart which is willing to accept and spread pure truth .... But such a man is protected against the influx of wrong spiritual good, because he consciously wants to serve Me and his will also secures My protection for him, because his will also guarantees the supply of pure truth, which alone is wholesome for you men .... Again and again I will therefore uncover error so that you will not suffer damage to the soul .... Again and again I will reveal truth to you so clearly and distinctly that it becomes bright in you and that you now also defend yourselves against error, because you recognize it as spawn of My opponent, who wants to block the way to Me for you. But if you want to successfully proceed against error, then you must also possess truth yourselves. And since truth starts from Me Myself, it will also earn you power at the same time, so that you can convincingly stand up for it. But who possesses truth, it will also give him pleasure to represent it to fellowmen, because he is aware of a great divine gift of favour that he again slowly comes to knowledge, which he once possessed, but voluntarily gave away. The knowledge, which he now possesses, makes him happy and also lets love flare up in him more and more, because through truth he learns to recognize Me, his God and creator, and soon also to love, because he is able to recognize Me in My perfection, as soon as he calls truthful knowledge his own. And now he lives his earth life consciously, because he knows about all connections, about himself and creation, between the creator and his creature, and because he now also knows about the aim, which is set for him for his earth life .... Truth makes happy and makes free, while error holds him captive like a chain and encloses him in thick darkness. But who stands in truthful thinking, who recognizes truth when it is offered to him, and who detests error when he has recognized it as such? .... Only ever the person who lives a life of love on earth, for this person approaches the eternal love through love, thus also the eternal truth, because love unites the human being with Me. That is why a man active in love never needs to fear error; he never needs to fear to move in wrong thinking because love ignites in him the bright light, which shines through everything and clarifies the thinking of man. To a love willing and love active man the opponent will be able to offer no error, because he is recognized as a messenger of darkness, which also cannot hide in the bright light of the spirit .... And it can be assumed with certainty that a man who lives in unselfish love will fall prey to no error, because My opponent tries himself in vain on him; he will be seen through and rejected and with him also everything what pushes itself as impure power into the nearness of man. When only his soul belongs to Me, he will also not be able to be misled, because again and again he will get on the way, which leads upwards to the height, to Me into My kingdom. But only few will go this way; they will carry off the victory, which can no longer be wrested from them .... To still increase this number is to be your greatest effort and your eagerness, because truly, every soul is infinitely valuable to Me, and I want to preserve it from a renewed course through the creations of the new earth ...._>Amen

The Lord looks after His servants ....

B.D. 8540 from June 25th 1963, taken from Book No. 90

I Am always willing to relieve you of your worldly cares if you want to work as My servants in My vineyard .... You cannot do anything without Me, hence My blessing has to rest on your work if it is to be successful, and since you, who are willing to serve Me for love of Me and your fellow human beings, only strive for spiritual successes you can also always be assured of My blessing and My support. You will always be guided in a way I consider good and successful for your own soul as well as for the souls of your fellow human beings. And I will always direct your thoughts such that they shall move within My will, so that you will always act in accordance with My will, in other words: you can do what you want .... it will always comply with My will since due to your dedication to Me you have taken refuge in Me and shall always receive My protection. If you thus encounter worldly difficulties and think that you are no longer able to work for Me and My kingdom, place your trust in Me anyway because nothing is impossible for Me, there is nothing you cannot ask of Me, for My might is unlimited and My love is boundless .... My wisdom, however, knows all pros and cons and directs everything as it is beneficial.

You don’t realise how much I need people who only work for Me and My kingdom, you don’t know how extremely valuable your work is which concerns the salvation of erring souls .... Yet I shall not take any of My servants away from earth until he has completed the task I set to him following his decision to work on earth for Me and My kingdom .... And when his missionary work on earth is done, he can calmly leave everything else to Me, I will fill every gap because I know whose love for Me and his fellow human beings is so strong enough that he can take his place. And everything will, in fact, come to you by itself and you will recognise My hand and My guidance and be very happy, yet only rarely will I work in an unusual way so that your freedom of will remains unimpeded. This is why your unconditional dedication to Me is most important and the only thing I require of you in order to also work in unusual ways and yet always within natural law, as not to subject you to compulsion.

Where necessary I will bring My Own together to help each other and to work together for Me and My kingdom .... I only require your trust in My guidance and you will distinctly experience it .... Consider that you are still living as people amongst people and that I cannot so openly testify to My pleasure in your spiritual endeavours that it would compel your fellow human beings to believe in miracles .... Yet everything will happen quietly and approach you in accordance with My will, hence you need not worry but just appeal to Me every morning for strength and grace for the day ahead .... And truly, you will receive abundantly, for I Am a good Caretaker Who lovingly looks after all His servants and gives to them whatever they need for body and soul .... But like a Father I also always try to draw My child closer to Myself and thus keep providing you with evidence of My Fatherly love which will also let your love flare up brightly and you will join Me ever more closely and feel protected in My Fatherly embrace. Let everything approach you and do not worry, for I look after you and know what you need in order to serve Me in accordance with My will ....

Amen

Belief in God in Jesus ....

B.D. 8541 from June 26th 1963, taken from Book No. 90

It is only necessary for you to believe in Me and take the path to Me when you suffer hardship .... for you, like children, to take refuge with the Father, Who will protect you in every spiritual and earthly adversity because you entrust yourselves to Him .... Time and again I emphasise that you only ought to contact Me in thought, through kind-hearted activity or in prayer and, truly, you will not be able to go astray anymore, because your bond with Me also guarantees you My help to be delivered from My adversary and to return to the One from Whom you once originated. Admittedly, evidence for the existence of a God and Creator cannot be given to you, you have to believe in Him .... Yet if you are willing to do so then you will see the evidence that bears witness to Me in everything that surrounds you .... And by just thinking about it you will already be able to come to believe in Me .... I just do not want you to spend your life thoughtlessly, to only take notice of the world and believe that your earthly life is an end in itself ....

You should always ask yourselves why and for what reason you live on earth .... in order to then also get hold of the thoughts about a God and Creator, which will time and again encircle you like waves, for the purpose and goal of your earthly life is to recognise a God and Creator, to acknowledge Him and to desire making contact with Him. Then this God and Creator will also take hold of you and never ever let you fall again .... And He will also convey the knowledge of Jesus Christ, your Redeemer, to you .... For you will have to find Him so that you lose your weaknesses, so that your ascent to the pinnacle is assured .... For even if you recognise Me, you will have little willpower to seriously strive for Me, since you are too weak due to the sin of your past apostasy from Me .... And for the sake of strengthening your will the man Jesus died on the cross in order to acquire the blessings of a stronger will for you .... I Myself came to help you in your great spiritual adversity which was the result of your original sin, and I Myself accomplished the act of Salvation for the redemption of your guilt in Jesus the human being . So the path of return will now be possible for you if you appeal to Jesus Christ for strength, if you place your guilt of sin at his feet and express the sincere will to return to the Father, Who took abode in Jesus, Who united Himself with Him for all eternity .... Even if you thus believe in God as the Creator and Redeemer, this God can never ever be regarded as being separate from Jesus Christ, for God and Jesus are one, God merely made use of a external human shell which people called 'Jesus', but Who sheltered the fullness of Me in Himself.

I created everything, even the human shell of Jesus came forth from Me, Which I chose for Myself in order to be able to stay amongst people. You humans, too, came forth from My will yet you once separated yourselves from Me voluntarily, for only love establishes a bond with Me but you forfeited it of your own free will, whereas the human being Jesus was permeated by love, thus My fundamental substance was in Him, for this is Love .... Hence, in keeping with His nature He must be God Himself, and only his external shell was human until He spiritualised it as well, so that it was able to unite with His divine Soul and nothing human remained once Jesus had accomplished the act of Salvation .... Anyone who therefore has recognised Me in Jesus has also escaped the darkness, for then the Light Itself will draw him into higher spheres, for I Myself Am the Light, and the light shone to earth through the human being Jesus because it permeated the human being completely. And I would like to send this ray of light to all of you, yet your heart has to open itself to Me, you must direct your thoughts towards the One Who created you .... You have to muster this will freely but then you will also be seized by My merciful love and everything will be done to impart the correct knowledge about Jesus Christ to you .... and if you acknowledge Him as God's Son and Redeemer of the world Who became as one with Me you will never ever be able to go astray again ....

Amen

Earthly flourishing .... Swift decline ....

B.D. 8542 from June 28th 1963, taken from Book No. 90

From a worldly point of view you are able to observe continuous thriving, for people strive overzealously for earthly improvements and prosperity, all their thoughts and intentions are purely earthly minded and they seem to bring everything under control to better their living conditions. And yet, from a spiritual point of view, it is a constant decline, for people keep moving away from God, they lose their faith in Him and therefore also every connection, and that means that God's adversary takes complete possession of them, that he is most successful with those people who only pay attention to his domain and are therefore also enslaved by him .... People's goals are earthly prosperity, honour and fame, spiritual goals are unknown to them, and neither do they feel the bleakness and emptiness in their hearts because these are completely filled by earthly thoughts and earthly plans .... And only rarely can their experiences unsettle or change their present thinking .... only rarely will people get tired of their earthly activity and look for another goal to support .... Then destiny must come down hard on them and people's thinking must be forcibly turned into a different direction .... when they themselves are incapable of averting this fate and thus will also have to fight .... Then they might dwell on the futility of their earthly life .... they will recognise a higher Power above themselves which is stronger than their will to live and makes people aware of their own weakness. But every severe stroke of fate is only a means to shake people out of their tranquil earthly existence .... This is a means I use in order to achieve a change of attitude, which is indeed possible when they, through suffering or illness or other difficult situations, have to recognise the futility of their earthly endeavours and start to reflect on their own inadequacy and weakness to have control over such strokes, that they are dependent on a higher Power. Only then might their thinking change, and then they will also strive for another goal than the one they had before .... And there will only ever be a few who turn their way of life around, who will be able to detach themselves from the world and its possessions and then no longer allow themselves to be deceived by worldly flourishing and achievements.

Nevertheless, worldly accomplishments will become increasingly more amazing, for it is a sign of the end that ever greater plans will be pursued and also undertaken which, however, will more and more divert from that which God demands from people and which is of value for eternity .... Wherever earthly matter is given priority that is where God's adversary is involved, for people who only chase after material goods and only make plans to improve their prosperity already belong to him. And these people will also be willing servants to him, they will get ever more enchained by matter and therefore also determine their later fate themselves .... For even if you humans can observe constant thriving and steady progress around you .... you will only be able to enjoy it for a short time, for soon everything will fall prey to destruction and you will lose all earthly acquired possessions .... because God Himself wants to prove to you the fleeting nature of all that which occupies your thoughts and yet is completely worthless .... Therefore you, who are already on the right path, should not let yourselves be deceived .... Don't let your thoughts be misled by believing that the earth can still count on a long existence in view of the fact that so many human plans are being accomplished, which denote worldly progress and a high living standard .... Everything progresses in a worldly way, sooner than you think it will come to an end and people will experience living conditions which you cannot possibly imagine .... For a divine intervention through the forces of nature will give rise to a complete change to which people will have to resign themselves and will only be able to do so if they are in close contact with God and pray for strength, which they then will certainly receive, so that all those will surely be helped who find and take the path to Him .... Only then will you humans realise the transience of earthly matter, and good for him who draws the right conclusions from this realisation, who will be able to detach himself from worldly things and only seeks to gain spiritual wealth .... He can always expect God's blessing and support, he will hand himself over to Him and be guided through all adversity ....

Amen

Only the truth is a right light ....

B.D. 8543 from June 29th 1963, taken from Book No. 90

Earth is a lightless area because it is the kingdom of My adversary, the prince of darkness. But light is to be supplied to men as inhabitants of earth, and this must therefore radiate to them out of the kingdom of light, what the prince of darkness wants to prevent with all force. But light has the power to penetrate through darkness, and its radiation cannot be prevented where just one man desires light and wants to escape from darkness. Light is life, darkness is death .... And everything dead, everything moving in darkness, shall be awakened to life, it shall come to light .... When I now supply you humans with the pure truth, when I convey My word to earth, which gives you clear knowledge, which imparts to you truthful knowledge about the deepest secrets of creation and about the creator Himself and His creatures .... then this is truly a bright light which shines down to earth and wants to dispel the darkness .... the state of complete lack of knowledge and spiritual blindness .... Therefore you should also appreciate the great significance of it that 'truth from above' is supplied to you .... And you should understand that I always and forever give My servants on earth the task to pass on this truth, to ensure that light is kindled everywhere, that light is carried into darkness, that people are enlightened about everything they need to know in order to bring their souls to perfection. If the human being goes through earthly life completely ignorant then he will only ever take care of his body so that it receives everything that seems desirable to him. But he will not think of his soul, for he knows nothing about what the soul needs in order to mature. But man does not live on earth for the sake of his body, but only for the sake of his soul, and this knowledge about it must be supplied to him. That is why I therefore let My word come to earth so that you men are enlightened about your actual purpose of earth life, and so that you believe, everything must also be explained to you right .... your beginning and final aim .... your relationship to your God and creator .... the reason for all created beings and the whole of creation and the great significance of Jesus Christ's act of salvation .... I have to light a light for you about all this so that you now learn to recognize everything right in the brightness of the spirit and you now also lead a life according to your knowledge in My will. You men need light, if you do not want to go in darkness towards the abyss. You men must be instructed in truth because wrong teachings bring no light for you, rather increased darkness, which is the work of the opponent. And what I now give to you, My servant(s) on earth, that is to be spread and also carried to those, whom I cannot address Myself, but who also want to walk in the light and therefore are to receive a right light through you. Who once has felt the benefit of light, he no longer longs for darkness back and only strives for always brighter light. And only pure truth is a right light, which makes man happy and can lead him to perfection .... Therefore you will also understand that all erroneous thought material has its start with My opponent, who is interested in condensing darkness, and who will always seek to prevent men to come into possession of truth. You will understand why I call upon you more and more urgently to stand up for the spiritual good, which is sent to you from above .... why I admonish you to take action against error and lie and not to become tired in the enlightenment work, to break through the great darkness where the desire for light exists .... because truth alone means a bright light for men. And no matter how much you are still opposed on the part of those who have not yet become free from My adversary, who still give him the right to have an effect on them .... in whom the desire for pure truth is not serious enough to be immune to erroneous influence .... the radiation of light alone determines the human being's will .... It can touch a man overbrightly and strongly, and then he will also be happy and feel My nearness. But the light is never allowed to be darkened, which then happens when intellectual considerations prevent a shining in of spiritual light and therefore now intellectual results come to light, which again are only suitable to deepen the darkness but not to break through it .... And when My spirit works, when I Myself give you bright light through the spirit, intellectual activity is truly unnecessary .... Because then My spirit withdraws and leaves every further instruction to the intellect because My spirit does not force when the will of man wants to let the intellect have its say. Earth urgently needs light because the darkness is so dense because it is close to the end, and that is why everything is to be done to break through it and to help those to truth who are willing to accept it, and who offer no resistance to the rays of light when they break through in form of truthful knowledge, of enlightenments of all kind, which always only serve the soul to perfection. And until the end the light will fight against darkness; until the end My ray of love light will touch earth and break through the darkness there, where the hearts of men are willing to receive light and to flee from darkness ...._>Amen

The Word of God ought to be listened to ....

B.D. 8544 from June 30th 1963, taken from Book No. 90

You should listen to God's Word .... For His Word grants you the strength you need for the maturing of your souls .... You should only want to be addressed by Him .... And truly, He will speak to you, regardless of how and in which way you hear His Word .... Only your serious wish to be addressed by Him is the decisive factor, for then His spirit will penetrate you when you hear His Word, and then you will no longer hear the speech of a person but the voice of God Who speaks to all those of His children who want to hear Him. You can then, in solitude, attentively listen within and enter into a dialogue with your Father of eternity, then all subsequent thoughts will originate from Him directly, and thus you will hear the Father's voice too, only in the form of thoughts .... You can also read His Word in the Scriptures, and again, it depends on your attitude towards Him, your God and Father, as to whether and how you will be affected by the Word you are reading .... Then He is also talking to you through these, providing you sincerely desire the Father's communication .... His Words can also be imparted to you through a human mouth if, in religious places, you listen to a sermon with the desire to hear Him, your Father of eternity .... if your thoughts are so closely united with Him that you consider every Word to be addressed to yourselves, then you can also truly say that you have been addressed by God Himself .... Additionally, you can accept the Word of God from servants sent to you on His instructions in order to convey God's direct communication to you, which informs you that He Himself speaks through the spirit when He has a suitable vessel at His disposal which receives His flow of love that wants to pour into such a vessel .... And if you are touched by these Words you will also feel yourselves addressed by Him and you will not have anymore doubts that God Himself speaks to you indirectly .... But you can receive His Words from Him directly, too, if you unite yourselves with Him in profound love and believingly listen within .... Then you will hear His direct communication and be extremely happy .... And an abundance of strength will flow into you which will truly enable you to still achieve your perfection on earth, for the direct communication is the greatest gift of grace which all of you can acquire if it is your sincere will. You need to hear the Word of God because you require a light from above which illuminates the path which will lead you to perfection .... You require a small pointer in the right direction; you simply need help in order to be able to reach your goal on earth .... You are weak and blind in spirit .... you must receive strength and regain your ability to see. And both occur through the imparting of the divine Word, which you therefore need to hear in some form or another .... As soon as your heart desires to be addressed by God Himself, the divine Word will not fail to be effective and give you what you require in order to enable you to fulfil your task on earth ....

The one and only point is that you humans should establish the connection with your God and Creator of eternity, that you should enter into the relationship of a child with its Father and desire to be addressed by Him, then your earthly life will truly not be futile. The connection with God had once been voluntarily severed and in so doing the being, which He created out of His love, became wretched and of darkened spirit .... The connection must consciously and voluntarily be restored again in order to come out of this unhappy state, and therefore the human being must also want for God to speak to him, for this proves that he strives towards a connection with God once more, and then his higher development can proceed in his earthly life, for then the person will receive strength through accepting His divine Word and he will become inwardly bright and clear .... Then his spiritual blindness will have been overcome too, he will know about the meaning and purpose of his earthly life as well as about his imperfection and guilt and how he can be released from them .... The divine Word first imparts to a person the knowledge about the divine commandments of love .... And if they are already being lived in accordance with then the person will gain further knowledge, he will become enlightened because the eternal Light will shine into him since the connection has been re-established, which is the meaning and purpose of earthly life by itself .... And for this reason you need the proclamation of the divine Word, of the Gospel of love .... And new disciples have been chosen again to proclaim God, Who is the Word of eternity .... And they will bring the truth to people again, because God's Word is truth and will affect every person as truth .... if he seriously desires it. How else should you accept it if not from Himself .... which is purely determined by your desire .... Who hath ears to hear, let him hear .... For an inexhaustible measure of grace will still be poured out before the end, because it is God's will that all people shall become blissfully happy and therefore He will also address all people who desire to hear Him .... And they can all still become blessed through His Word ....

Amen

The soul knows beforehand its earthly course ....

B.D. 8545 from July 1st 1963, taken from Book No. 90

Why do you humans doubt My love which embraces all My living creations with such tenderness that I truly don't want to let any of them suffer but only ever want to grant happiness and bliss to the beings which once emerged from Me? Yet not only love fills Me but also profoundest wisdom determines Me to impose restrictions on love where it would only cause harm and therefore has to be contained, even if only temporarily .... But I alone know what serves a soul to be able to enjoy unlimited happiness one day .... I alone know how every soul is made up and what it still lacks for perfection .... But I also know how little time is still available to every individual soul until the judgement takes place .... i.e. the classification of all spiritual into the external form which is suitable for it, which guarantees further development .... But I also know that a soul can become completely free from every material form and what unimagined bliss it can then receive and feel .... And if a soul is now shortly before its perfection and the time granted to it has almost expired, then a great favour can still be granted to it, in that this earth time still remaining to it makes exceedingly great demands on it or can also be exceedingly sorrowful, but then it is also the guarantee that all dross is cast off and it can now enter the kingdom of light and happiness .... What seems to be long to you men in terms of time is like a moment in the period of your ascent development upwards, but once the soul has reached its aim then it also knows that it was a work of mercy for My part when it had to go through exceedingly great suffering for the purpose of the last purification. Since it was allowed to see it beforehand and yet voluntarily took up its last embodiment as a human being, this is proof of its approval, of its willingness to take upon itself everything, even the most difficult .... because it saw the aim .... For it had complete freedom before its embodiment as a human being, thus it consciously entered its earthly life as a human being .... It took up a battle with the forces of darkness, which also required great strength of soul .... thus it is mostly not weak souls which are exposed to exceptionally hostile activity, for these would fail and succumb to the evil forces and be drawn down again into the abyss by them, which would also result in a rapid change of their torment into the opposite and thus be equal to a failure of the soul .... You men know too little about the connections, you do not know about the guilt of a soul, which embodies itself on earth, and about its state of maturity, when it is allowed to embody itself as man .... But one thing you will understand and be able to believe is that a soul which has to suffer a great deal in earthly life will approach an all the more beautiful life in the spiritual kingdom and that it will one day be grateful to Me Who enabled it to become free through great suffering .... I allow satanic powers to have an effect, for these powers will also be judged one day and fall back into deepest darkness .... The closer now the end is the more the work of evil will also come to light, and still unheard-of things will take place, which let you men doubt My love and mercy .... But they, too, will find the explanation in the ever shorter time of grace where unusual trials, suffering and hardship can still bring about the maturing of a soul and then this soul will have reached a high aim .... But you are always to ascribe love, wisdom and power to your God and creator, Who wants to be your father. I can prevent everything, thus also such encroachments of satan, but when My wisdom sees the success which arises for a soul through excessive suffering, then only My love is ever decisive, which wants to prepare the soul for the great happiness of entering the spiritual kingdom as perfected .... Therefore do not let your faith in My love waver, but trust Me that I only ever have the spiritual well-being of My living creations in mind and that I do or allow everything to happen that contributes to the perfection of a soul, but that I also give every soul the strength to persevere and to resist the opposing force, which can indeed weaken the body but which is unable to harm a soul which has already matured to such an extent that it knows its final aim and therefore voluntarily entered into an embodiment which forms the conclusion of an eternal development, of an infinitely long path of return to Me .... It has reached the aim and is now united with Me for all eternity ...._>Amen

Guarantee for receiving the truth ....

B.D. 8546 from July 2nd 1963, taken from Book No. 90

You ask, how it is possible for My adversary to frequently intervene with people's thought even if they are willing to be of service to Me .... Bear in mind, that you humans are imperfect, that all of you still shelter much unredeemed spiritual substances which react to My adversary's influences if you don't unite yourselves so intimately with Me that a protective shield is erected which My adversary cannot and will be unable to climb, because he knows that I Myself stand before this wall. Consider furthermore, that you are often mistaken when you believe that you hear My voice .... that you often formulate and quote your own thoughts or are driven by the forces of the beyond to express such thoughts if you are of weak will and allow yourselves to be taken possession of by those who claim to be 'spiritual guides' .... You establish the connection with the world of the beyond yourselves because you want information from it .... And although you hope that I should be the Provider you are frequently lacking the preconditions which enable My direct communication with you. Who gives you the right and the guarantee to claim that I Myself, your God and Father, audibly express Myself? Don't you think that the concept 'audible communication by the Father' is greatly abused? .... I certainly speak to all people who desire My communication, yet this communication will be felt by the person within himself, it is the voice of conscience which constantly advises him, which admonishes and warns him to comply with My known will and to refrain from all anti-divine actions .... I certainly speak to a person directly too, if he has to accomplish a great task .... then he will be able to hear Me directly .... Yet then I will also expect this person to fulfil all conditions which guarantee him to hear My Word audibly, for the fulfilment of these conditions also erect the said wall which My adversary will not climb .... In that case he cannot intervene, and then the purest truth from Me is guaranteed, which should subsequently be spread, for that is the great task which is linked to the receipt of the truth ....

I continually want to convey purest truth to earth, yet people themselves prevent the transmission of the pure truth as long as they are not completely permeated by their desire for it and as long as they don't release themselves from the spiritual knowledge they already possess .... but which prevents the influx of pure truth from Me. I can never express Myself through My spirit where a heart is not entirely empty, so that I Myself can thus fill it .... However, that is precisely where My adversary's influence will be and express himself in the disguise of an angel of light. And sometimes it will be very difficult for you to test the spiritual knowledge which is given to you .... You wonder why My adversary intervenes where I Am speaking .... And I say to you: I don't speak where My adversary has the opportunity to slip in and express himself .... They are misguided assumptions to presume that it is My working which he can interfere with .... Where I Am working the said wall is erected, for wherever I Am working the prerequisites are in place which justify the erection of a protective wall, and that is where My adversary will fight in vain, that is where countless spiritual guardians prevent his entry and drive him back with their bright light. And thus he will only ever choose those spheres for his activity which won't deny him entry, where he is entitled to intrude due to the similar disposition of those whose circle he tries to penetrate. Negative thoughts alone suffice to motivate him into misguided thinking which he tries to transfer on those who are willing to accept spiritual infiltrations .... And that will always be the case when all the people coming together .... in order to receive spiritual statements .... are not in the same spiritual state and thus a defence against immature forces is not guaranteed. If I say time and again that I speak to all people who desire My Word you should not conclude from this that you will audibly hear My divine voice .... but that I speak to every person's heart and that he need only listen within himself in order to be able to understand Me .... To hear My Word audibly requires such an exceptionally high degree of maturity that this only happens very rarely and then it will be in connection with an important spiritual mission too .... If you therefore hear a person speak and believe that you hear Me Myself, i.e., that you hear My voice directly, then you will generally be mistaken, although it is possible .... But then it will not and cannot happen within a large circle, because not all will have the same degree of maturity which is required for My voice to be audibly heard .... And you can believe that every single person also needs to be handled differently if he is to derive a blessing for his soul .... Unless two or three come together and I can be in the midst of them, then I will also express Myself through them, but they will speak in their own way but in absolute truth, as I have promised you ....

Amen

God’s special care for His labourers ....

B.D. 8547 from July 3rd 1963, taken from Book No. 90

My special love and care is granted to all those of you who are active on My behalf, who work for Me and My kingdom. This assurance should eliminate all the worries you are occasionally prone to when you think of what is awaiting you. The time you are approaching will be difficult and yet, with the measure of strength you receive, you will not find it as hard as your fellow human beings whose contact with Me is not as heartfelt as yours and who will therefore be so weak that they will be in danger of being overwhelmed by the events. Each human destiny is known to Me since I Myself impose it upon every individual person, and since I certainly also know its consequences My help will be correspondingly. So, regardless of what happens to you, turn to Me at all times, take hold of My hand and let yourselves be guided and, truly, you will be able to overcome everything with ease and inner calm. For even then you shall still serve Me as proclaimers of My Word .... And during the time of adversity it is particularly necessary that you inform your fellow human beings of My working in you, of what is about to happen and of the Father’s love for His children .... They shall become convinced that I Am a God of love, then they will take the path to Me in their adversity and I can clearly provide them with help .... for if you can convince them that I Am a God of love, they will pray to Me in their heart when they appeal to Me for help. Then I will be able to help them without compelling them to believe .... But time and again I assure you, My servants, that I will not let go of your hand, that you will not be threatened by anything which seems to go beyond your strength .... You should only ever believe in My love, wisdom and power and, truly, this faith will be your strength and will also enable you to speak on My behalf to your fellow human beings .... Then you will serve Me and I will reward your service and protect you in every way .... I will also grant you physical strength when your work for Me is required, consequently you can approach the forthcoming events without worries and know that you will always be guarded by a loving Father to Whom nothing is impossible if He wants to help His children in their adversity.

The stronger this faith is and the more you entrust yourselves to Me, the less will you be affected by that which causes fear and trepidation in your fellow human beings .... Remember that everything is good, regardless of what happens, even if it does not look that way .... And everyone who listens to you will experience My protection when you inform them of My Word, when you proclaim the Gospel of love to them .... for everyone will suffer adversity in the coming time and only the strength of their faith will lead them through all tribulations .... They, too, will be seized by My love and be helped because they possess a living faith and thus pray to Me in spirit and in truth .... Only a close bond with Me will help every person to endure their fate, for then they will faithfully entrust themselves to Me and no longer impose limits to My power .... Then, and depending on the depth of their faith, I will be able work in extraordinary ways. Therefore, do not allow yourselves to become depressed by thoughts that you might succumb to your weakness .... What seems impossible to you today, you may experience yourselves in the form of remarkable help at the time of great adversity .... My adversary’s activity will assume exceptional proportions; he will achieve inconceivable things and thereby prompt equal countermeasures on My part. But I will expose him and open your ears and eyes, My servants, so that you will clearly recognise the artful trickery of the one who wants to corrupt you .... And you, too, will be suitably equipped for your encounter with him .... You will destroy his web of lies with the sword of your mouth; you will publicly denounce him and be protected by Me against his interventions .... for he will pursue you wherever possible. The signs for the near end will become progressively more distinct, just as My love will express itself consistently more obviously, because anyone who belongs to Me need truly not be afraid of anything. But anyone without a living faith will fall prey to My adversary and his deceptive work, he will let himself be misled and not recognise the danger he is in. Nor will he take any measures to come out of it and only great adversity can teach him to think differently .... Yet the person who utterly belongs to My adversary already will receive strength from his side. This person will also master the adversity with his support but instead totally lose his soul to him, who will not set it free anymore and thus his followers will be bound at the same time as him when the day of the end comes.

Amen

Detachment from the enemy .... feeding the truth ....

B.D. 8548 from July 4th 1963, taken from Book No. 90

It is enough for you to know that I take care of you in every earthly and spiritual distress, that you are never lonely and abandoned or dependent on yourselves, if you just do not resist My loving care. And so I will also protect you at any time from attacks of My opponent when you let your will be known to stand close to Me. There is only one thing I demand of you: that you draw a line between Me and My adversary .... that you inwardly decide for Me or for him .... For he is and remains My adversary for eternities to come, and his aim can never also be Mine .... Therefore you must make this decision: to reject him and to acknowledge Me, and then you have passed your earth life test, and nothing more stands in the way of your return to Me. But as long as you now live on earth he will do everything to win you for himself, and therefore the everlasting temptations, which are to bring you down .... And his best weapon is to confuse your thinking, to put error before you and so to block the way to Me for you, which alone can be found through truth .... But likewise I will counteract and convey the pure truth to you, and now it is only up to you whether you accept My gifts or his .... If you are now already in contact with Jesus Christ that redemption has taken place in you, then you will also possess the strength to resist the adversary, then you will also recognize error as such and reject it .... But it will be difficult for all of you if your will is still weakened because you are not yet redeemed through Jesus Christ .... and then again and again you fall prey to My adversary .... Only the redemption through Him gives you the strength of will and then also the right success .... But of this you can be assured that your desire for Me, your will turned towards Me, will also soon earn you the redemption through Jesus, because I Myself can then provide you with power and this power now has an effect insofar as that you are now open-minded towards every enlightenment, which concerns Jesus and His work of redemption. If you want to go to Me, then you will also find Him, Who now shows you the right way to Me, home into your father house. And so that now your earth life brings you the last perfection, I give you a light .... I give you truthful knowledge so that you again attain the knowledge which you once possessed but had voluntarily given away. Only this knowledge will contribute to you living your earthly life consciously .... that you strive for an aim which you now recognize because you stand in the light. The truth will be given to you if you sincerely desire it ..... This applies to all men, in which way they also get supplied with truth .... But I always emphasize that My spirit guides you into all truth, that therefore My spirit also works when pure truth is supplied to man through My messengers, because only then they accept pure truth when My spirit can work in them .... And My spirit speaks to the heart, but the heart decides what it accepts or rejects. But if the intellect now switches itself on, then it can also make a wrong judgement, if man lets the intellectual thinking speak and then is not able to recognize pure truth as truth .... Understand this: A man can be supplied with My knowledge acquired through spirit work, but he himself prevents his spirit from the acceptance of that knowledge, because he first questions his intellect and this can also be worked on by My opponent .... so that the human being begins to doubt and opposes it with his intellectual thinking .... Then therefore My spirit's work is prevented and man hardly reaches the right knowledge because he does not devote himself fully believingly to Me and My work through the spirit .... I always have to present to you the condition for the attainment of pure truth, because truth is divine spiritual good, which is so valuable and therefore also has to be acquired under consideration of that condition .... because you once carelessly gave it away .... Who now earnestly longs for union with Me, he will also long for truth just as earnestly, because I am the eternal truth .... And this desire for truth is the most important condition, and it also presupposes that man frees himself from spiritual knowledge, which My adversary offered him as long as man still belonged to his following .... And whether he also took his knowledge out of the book of books .... it does not protect him from the fact that he has no understanding for the meaning of the word as long as his spirit is not yet awakened .... That is why his heart must completely empty itself and let itself be filled by Me Myself, then he will be able to receive truth guaranteed and no longer need to fear to walk along in darkness, but brightest light will now illuminate his way. For the stronger the desire for unification with Me is, the less resistance the human being will offer to the influx of spiritual knowledge, which flows to you humans as My spirit's working in the form of My word .... He will accept it fully convinced that it is truth and now also draw benefit from it for his soul; he will stand in the light, all spiritual darkness has fallen away from him .... he stands in brightest knowledge and is as happy as in the beginning ...._>Amen

Gathering strength ahead of the chaos ....

B.D. 8549 from July 5th 1963, taken from Book No. 90

Keep drawing strength from My Word for you will need this fortification in the forthcoming time and should gather strength now, since you will be unable to collect your thoughts in prayer when My long-announced intervention takes place .... Whatever is decided by My wisdom and love will also be implemented, and every prediction which I sent to you so that the event will not take you unawares without warning will be fulfilled ....

You shall always remember it and try to set your heart free from all earthly longings .... You shall try to let go of matter, for one day you will have to give it up, and the less your heart clings to it the easier will be your loss, the less you will be burdened by My intervention .... Again and again I tell you to prepare yourselves for this period of unprecedented chaos when only your heartfelt bond with Me will give you the support to do justice to all demands. For anyone not directly affected by the disaster by losing his life will then have to lead a difficult existence, because there will be no ordered living conditions and you will be burdened by earthly adversities which you will be unable to handle on your own, without My help.

Time and again you shall accept My Word in your hearts and draw strength from it, you shall gain such strong faith from My direct Word that nothing will be able to unsettle you in the forthcoming time, so that you will completely rely on Me and only ever wait for My help .... And believe that I will help you .... that just the heartfelt bond has to be established with Me which, however, can only be achieved by a person who is completely dedicated to Me and who will merely recognise the fulfilment of My predictions in the huge disaster and thus will even more devotedly wait for My help, which indeed will be granted to him. Then I will carry out the seemingly impossible on those who place their complete trust in Me.

And every human being should get used to the idea that the orderliness surrounding him will not continue, he shall believe that the earth will be affected by an unimaginably huge tremor, and that countless people will fall victim to a natural disaster .... the survivors, however, will experience extremely difficult living condition which require much strength and confidence in My help in order to cope with them. Then it will become evident where neighbourly love is being practised, for only there will My help be evident as well .... And anyone who is just anxiously concerned about himself and his well-being will also have to labour by himself and yet be unable to master his situation .... For you humans must learn that love is strength and that you will be able to achieve much if your actions are motivated by neighbourly love.

Time and again I refer to the time when great chaos will befall you caused by a huge natural disaster .... because I still want to give you humans a last sign of the Power Which is in charge of you .... But you, who receive My Word directly or given to you through My messengers, you shall constantly listen to My admonition, engross yourselves as often as possible in My Word and your strength will grow, even at times of extreme adversity you will not lose the connection with Me and then you will also always be certain of My help, for I manifestly want to help My Own to strengthen their faith as well as that of their fellow human beings so that they will establish and never again abandon the living bond with Me.

And don't count on being spared, don't believe that other, distant regions will be affected .... This disaster will be far-reaching and involve a large area, even though it will not affect the whole earth .... Consequently, the immense adversity will not pass anywhere without a trace, which you will only understand after the occurrence has happened, when My voice resounds in the world and you realise the dreadful effects .... the full extent of which will take a long time again to be assessed.

As yet you are still living in peace and are unable to imagine such chaos .... But I draw your attention to the fact that everything will come to pass what was announced in advance, I only want to influence you insofar as that you should do everything that will give you the strength to endure .... For I will not abandon you, who have submitted yourselves to Me and want to belong to Me .... And I will always provide you with strength .... Let Me talk to you time and again and draw strength from My Word and truly, you will be able to find Me even in utter suffering, and I will always be ready to help, I will always stand by your side and through you also bring help to those whom you lovingly try to take care of ....

Amen

Truthful education about Jesus and redemptive work ....

B.D. 8550 from July 6th 1963, taken from Book No. 90

You will still often have to deal with error because the raging of My opponent will become more and more obvious who can only confuse the thoughts of men through error and lie and therefore will also omit nothing what helps him to do it. Again and again he will attack truth and so want to undermine My work with you, but what he will not succeed because I have strong supports on earth, which do not so easily become unsteady because they are supported by Me Myself. And their strength already consists of the fact that they are able to recognize every error and therefore will also take action against it .... A knowing person cannot be deceived so easily and a knowing person now has the task to also give enlightenment to fellow human beings as far as this is possible .... And it will be the adversary's attempt to keep people ignorant of the value and importance of the redemptive work of Jesus Christ .... Because what they do not recognize as important, that they also do not strive for. And if the adversary only succeeds in portraying Jesus as a person who transgressed against the authority of the state and was therefore condemned to death, then people will not feel prompted to take the path to Him, to the cross, for they lack knowledge of His act of salvation, of His merciful love, and this is the adversary's endeavour .... To first refute this opinion to people requires a certain courage as an orator, for people only rarely want to engage in such conversations because they have a defence against Jesus as a result of the adversary's influence, to portray Jesus as a rebellious person .... That is why from My side the work of redemption of Jesus Christ is always emphasized; it comes to the fore because completely different connections lay the basis of this work of mercy and these are to be explained to fellowmen if possible to grasp his significant mission. And this is My counter work that I direct pure truth to earth, otherwise men would already long ago be in fullest ignorance about Jesus Christ and the significance of His work of redemption. Then this knowledge will be offered to you truthfully, then you will understand it and accept it, but if only that representation is supplied to you, then you will easily be inclined to consider Him as a secondary figure, but not as Him, in Whom I Myself became man, in Whom I as God have united Myself with Him. Jesus' deity is denied by the adversary's side but it is the most important problem which is to be solved for you, because you are to recognize and acknowledge Me Myself in Jesus .... And therefore I will reveal Myself again and again to a person who consciously allows these revelations, so that again and again the exact knowledge about the act of salvation and God's incarnation will be conveyed to people who willingly accept the knowledge, who are willing to follow Jesus and who want to turn to Me Myself in Jesus and unite with Me for eternity .... Anyone who has taken note of who Jesus is and what motivated His earthly progress will truly not walk this path of earthly life in vain, he will consciously strive towards the final aim, the final unification of his soul with Me, Who embodied Myself in Jesus on earth .... That is why this knowledge is of such great importance and the spreading of it is always an action against My adversary, who is more interested in nothing than to leave people in ignorance about it or to give them erroneous explanations about the man Jesus .... If Jesus is only portrayed as a man who has transgressed against the authority of the state, then this portrayal is intended to pass Him over as unimportant, and the purpose of earth life is missed .... But also an enlightenment corresponding to truth contributes little to perfection on earth when it is received indifferently, without living faith .... when a man does not seek to draw the benefit for the soul out of truth .... when men do not seriously think about what the work of redemption of Jesus Christ means .... And also this indifference, the form faith, is a work of My adversary to prevent that men earnestly seek Me, that they earnestly go the way to the cross to find redemption from their guilt, which was the cause of their existence as man .... And the adversary will do everything to prevent the redemption through Jesus Christ if the human being's will does not seriously strive for its perfection, so that I can mentally convey the truth about Jesus and His act of salvation to him, which he will then also use for his own and his fellow human beings' salvation. The will of man alone is decisive .... And the adversary seeks to subjugate this will to himself, and only Jesus can prevent him from doing so .... But that is why He and His work of redemption must be recognized and a truthful enlightenment must also be sent to man, which then will cause him to strive further and also let him reach his aim, because now his will always experiences more strengthening than grace of the work of redemption of Jesus Christ .... And so it will remain a constant fight between light and darkness, constantly My adversary will seek to condense the darkness, but constantly I will also let the light shine and send truthful enlightenment to men, and who gratefully receives My gift, he will also escape the power of My adversary and reach his aim on earth ...._>Amen

Rescue work on the souls who are not unwilling ....

B.D. 8551 from July 6th 1963, taken from Book No. 90

Little faith will you find in your fellow human beings who are themselves too little in love .... These will reject all spiritual conversations, you will not have the opportunity to inform them of the delicious gift you offer them .... They will reject you and want to hear nothing of the kind because it could disturb them in their inner peace. For whether they also live an outwardly righteous life on earth .... As long as they are without love it is merely a certain fulfilment of duty and a subordination to worldly laws but not an expression of inner maturity, which can only result in a life of love .... And you will mostly have to deal with such people, for there are very few of those who strive spiritually or are to be approached with spiritual things .... But exactly these few I still gather for Me in the last time, and I still adjust them so that the danger of a sinking is eliminated for them, that they are certainly so far matured spiritually to be able to be received into the kingdom on the other side, where they can stride further up. But when you succeed to also win a soul for you from those men, then you can register a great plus, because every single soul is dear to Me, and every single soul return to Me I rejoice and help in every way. And where I still see such a possibility, I will also lead you there or send it in your way. You can then convey to them My delicious gift .... But the acceptance of them determines free will itself .... You can only pray for every soul, which is still on the wrong way, that it may find the right way, and ask you to be helpful to them for this. I hereby address you, who want to serve Me as faithful vineyard labourers .... Do not slacken in your efforts to spread My word, and know that this is spiritual knowledge of such great value that it will also not fail to have an effect if only a person is of good will .... if he lives in love and thereby will also be receptive to what you bring him .... And always know that I know men and lead them into the way for you, on whom you are to do vineyard work .... That you cannot often record success is not to let you get tired because it is the last time and only few are still to be won for Me and My kingdom. But all your efforts draw wide circles. Everyone who listens to you believingly, everyone to whom you impart My word from above, will also do vineyard work again of his own accord, because My word itself drives him to it .... And ever wider circles will take note of this word of Mine, the flow of My love will flow in all directions and be collected by thirsty souls who refresh and strengthen themselves with it .... And there are no limits for My word, it flows in all directions and fertilizes so many human hearts, which again draw strength and strive towards Me, because they recognize Me Myself as origin of that what makes them happy and strengthens them .... what they recognize as bread of heaven, as water of life, and therefore water their souls and feed them with food from above .... For I offer it Myself and call guests from everywhere to My table to partake of the lord's supper with them .... And even if you see little success through your spiritual work .... if you meet far more rejecting people than those who let themselves be given by you .... so do not become despondent, for My word works by itself .... The power of My word flows wherever it is desired, and I know about the human hearts that desire it .... And no work is done in vain, because even if men on earth are not to be won, so still innumerable souls are prepared to accept it, and you are to think of these souls especially, because also they no longer have much time, if they still stay in darkness .... that they have detached themselves from darkness until the end and strive towards the light. When you have achieved that through loving intercession that you are listened to by those souls, then you have a great profit to record, because then these souls are rescued from the lot of renewed banishment in matter, and their way up is already entered and will also lead further and further up. The word, which goes out from Me, is blessed with My power .... So it will also have an effect on those souls, which truly need power to be able to ascend from the deep to the height. Always bear in mind that I open up all possibilities in view of the near end to still bring salvation to quite a lot of souls, and it only depends on the free will of those that they accept My gifts of favour, and that is why you are to contribute to stimulate their will where opportunity is offered to you .... You should always regard your spiritual task as urgent and leave no stone unturned to pass on My word, for even the slightest success can mean salvation for a soul from greatest danger .... It can be spared the fate of new banishment, it can still take the right path to Me before the end .... For I still struggle for every soul before the end and supply it with strength and fortification if only it does not completely reject Me .... And every soul can still change before the end .... This certainty is to spur you on to untiring work for Me and My kingdom; because every soul will thank you eternally, which was protected through you from the abyss, which found the way to Me through you ...._>Amen

Review and love care for the still struggling spiritual ....

B.D. 8552 from July 8th 1963, taken from Book No. 90

One day you will be able to look back on your earthly way of life and not understand that you remained in resistance against Me for so long, when you will recognize My immense love for you .... Then you will be filled with bliss, and you will praise and glorify Me in love that I did not let you fall and only ever helped you to ascend from the abyss to the height .... But as long as you do not yet possess this retrospection and knowledge, you simply have to believe it that My love pursues you and will not rest until you have become Mine for ever. But I must leave you in that ignorance until the time of the complete union with Me, i.e., I can certainly instruct you, and you can believe it that it is so, but you will only win the last innermost conviction when you have reached the aim. For the last knowledge is the result of the union with Me, and that is why you are to constantly strive for your perfection to also be able to gain the last knowledge .... For you will be increasingly happier when it becomes clear to you that you can also constantly strive, that there is no longer any limitation when you have become perfect .... and that therefore also happiness constantly increases, because also the light, which shines upon you, constantly becomes brighter and clearer, which also means that your knowledge, your realizations, will constantly increase, that there is also no limitation for it .... For the constant striving prepares for you an undreamed-of happiness, because it finds constant fulfilment .... That there is no longer a limitation for the perfect, you men cannot grasp as long as you are still unfinished, because so long you are also still subject to the law of limitation. Every imperfect state also means a certain bondage, which you will also only grasp when you will move in complete freedom in the kingdom of light and bliss .... And I would like to help you to this exceedingly blissful state, for My love for you is unlimited .... I know no limitation, only I often have to impose it on you Myself because you would not be able to bear unlimited activity in love towards you .... That is why I limit the measure of My love Myself and only hand out to you as much as you yourselves can bear .... But the measure of My love, which can hit you, increases with increase of your soul maturity, and therefore also your happiness will increase in the same measure as your soul matures, what you will first feel in the kingdom on the other side and constantly increases your love towards Me. It is a state of freedom into which you enter as soon as My ray of love light can strike you in the spiritual kingdom, because you yourselves have given up all resistance .... And this freedom will make you unspeakably happy, and then it is completely incomprehensible to you yourselves that you resisted Me so long and the return to Me took such an endless long time .... although you now no longer feel this time to be long, because also the concept of time is abolished for you. But that you were apostate to Me and it took an exceedingly long course of development until the final return to Me, that you cannot forget, and you overlook the endless many individual phases of your ascent, and you also know about My love care. But you also see the still struggling spiritual in the stage of being bound, and you are also filled with hot love towards that spiritual, which is expressed in great willingness to help .... And so you now also prove your love to Me by you helping that, which also possesses My love. And the redeeming principle will be found everywhere, where therefore the matured souls can be hit by My love ray, because the spiritual, which is now full of light, also radiates the love light further, because every blessed being is driven by love to carry out redeeming work and to help everything to ascend, what still languishes in the deep. And it will always be active in My will because it can no longer do otherwise than to fulfil My will because it has completely entered My will. If the soul has only once found the entrance into the kingdom of light, then certainly all unhappiness lies behind it and no longer burdens it, and it is filled with deep gratitude towards My endless love .... But then it never forgets anymore the spiritual, which still languishes in wretchedness, and it eagerly takes part in it to also help it and to release it from wretchedness. And according to its degree of light this work of redemption will be; it will be able to take part in new creations to again create new outer forms for that what is still bound; it will have a promoting effect on the spiritual through spiritual influence .... it will always contribute in God's will to the liberation and change of the external form and therefore also take part in the course of development up to the human being .... For it also wants to procure its own happiness for this still struggling spiritual, and it means increased happiness for itself to give love and to constantly help the weak, completely unfree spiritual, that it can successfully cover the way of return to Me and finally also pass the test of will as man .... And the redemption of all spiritual will once take place because more and more light-full spiritual is involved in it and the love of these light beings also guarantees a redemption of it because love reaches everything, love gives up nothing what is unhappy, love overcomes every resistance and safely reaches the aim ...._>Amen

People’s duty is to draw attention to error ....

B.D. 8553 from July 9th 1963, taken from Book No. 90

Everything motivated by love is pleasing to Me .... And thus, when you live with love everything you do or don’t do will be in accordance with My will .... However, you have to consider the motives of your actions, whatever they may be .... Do you want to help a person or the world at large .... do you want to help and protect your neighbour from all manner of harm? .... Do you want to give light and understanding? In short, do you want to give or do you want to take, destroy, cause confusion and burden your fellow human beings .... or do you want to take action against error and bring truth to your fellow human beings instead? .... You have to consider all this in the light of love, thus it has to permeate you if your every action is to correspond to My will ....

But I also want to draw your attention to the fact that I want erroneous belief to be corrected, that I expect you to spread the truth and that this task has priority .... For I transmit pure truth to earth so that its light should shine into the darkness .... And spiritual knowledge which originates from Me will never contradict itself, or I would not be the source of the flow of spirit ....

Erroneous spiritual knowledge cannot originate from Me and thus you, who receive the pure truth from Me, have the right and the duty to fight it, but always beware not to offend against the law of love, that you are messengers of truth when you approach those who live in error. As soon as you, with My Word from above, can refute the doctrine they believe to have received from Me, they can, with good will, recognise who speaks to them through you. For I will always use reason to expose the error so that it can be recognised as such, and I will be able to do so through a vessel which is suitable to receive My flow of spirit ....

It is true, though, that everyone will claim to be a ‘vessel of God’ but the genuine investigator will recognise My voice and will not find it difficult to come to the right conclusion. Because error will be exposed in a manner that demonstrates knowledge. Nevertheless, people also have to employ their will in order to recognise My voice .... If this will is not present then even the most lucid reasons will not be understood, and the person will hold on to his misguided belief in spite of clarifications and appropriate references. But this is certain, every spiritual instruction by Me also reveals Me Myself as the Provider, in so far as its wording and content give evidence of a perfect Provider, Who clearly and understandably solves the kind of problems which cannot be solved intellectually .... Imperfection and ignorance are eliminated, for by the latter you humans recognise the influence of powers which are not yet perfect, not yet enlightened, to carry out My instruction of transmitting spiritual knowledge to earth ....

If the human being himself in his arrogance fails to recognise such imperfection then the pure truth given to him by My messengers will not give him clarity either, because he lacks the inner humility which would also guarantee his understanding of eternal truth. Hence time and again you will meet with resistance where the adversary has already established himself by giving false information and people are not willing to let go of him in the firm belief to have received the information from Me Myself. However, I allow every human being’s freedom of will, I will merely contact him now and again and try to make him take notice .... but only his will makes the choice ....

Amen

Reason and effect of the revelations ....

B.D. 8554 from July 10th 1963, taken from Book No. 90

You will always be guided correctly if you hand yourselves over to My guidance .... Your thinking will always be guided correctly when you request it, and I always want to give you clarification when you need it. But you must completely hand yourselves over to Me and not want to make any compromises; you are not allowed to be indecisive and still grant My opponent a right by you still turning towards the world .... I want to possess you completely in order to now also be able to be present in you and to provide you with the evidence of My presence: that I speak to you and you hear My word in you .... And you can believe it that then My opponent can no longer stay with you when I have taken up residence (in you), what proves to you My direct address. You men now need visible proofs of My presence so that your love towards Me increases and through this also your faith becomes stronger and stronger because I know it how weak you still are and what strengthening for you is a proof of My presence. I love you and want to win you for Me forever .... And therefore I again and again woo your counter-love, which will be awakened in you through My address and constantly deepen .... And that is why I also have to reveal Myself, I have to reveal Myself to you, you have to be able to recognize Me as the highest and most perfect being in every revelation, Whom you then also have to love because of His perfection, to Whom you now voluntarily give all your love. For this reason every revelation on My part will always be proof of My perfection for you humans .... From every revelation will emerge the love, wisdom and power of the being Who addresses you .... Every revelation will kindle a light in you, it will irrevocably place you into the state of realization, it will be profound and yet easily understandable for every person who is himself in the state of being allowed to hear God's address .... Every revelation on My part will radiate love, it will reveal wisdom and testify to My might, for through My word I impart extensive knowledge to you which will enable you to regain the degree of knowledge you had in the beginning .... So understand: through My address a possession is given to you, which cannot be valued highly enough. A spiritual wealth is supplied to you, which testifies to you a giver, Who has everything at His disposal and Who therefore can also give to you to an extent that your love towards Him must grow, Who gives you so much love. But this is the purpose of My revelations that you may take possession of valuable goods .... goods which only I Myself can distribute .... Goods which I will only hand out where they are worked with again according to My will: to pass on extensive knowledge to fellow human beings who cannot be addressed by Me directly .... Because I want to reveal Myself to all men as a God of love, wisdom and power. All people shall learn to love Me, and all shall attain realization, a light which shines brightly into the spiritual darkness which burdens humanity .... It is My will and My plan to break through this spiritual darkness, and men cannot bring this about with their intellectual thinking and knowledge, it must come to them from above .... from above from the kingdom of light and truth .... the pure truth. And this is always only possible through revelations on My part, through My address, which only few are able to hear directly from Me. But these few are instructed by Me to carry My word out into the world .... These few possess that extensive knowledge because it was sent to them directly from Me, and these few are regarded as My messengers, as My genuine prophets, to whom I can announce Myself at any time, in whom I can be present and prove Myself to them as a God of love, wisdom and power .... Again and again I have to tell you that from Me only valuable spiritual material is conveyed to earth .... so that I can also be recognized as the giver, for a perfect being will also only ever express Itself according to Its nature .... It will address Its creatures such that they understand It, yet what It offers will never be deficient in form and content .... The divine giver will always be recognizable by His gift .... And I want to be recognized as giver and therefore have to speak to you men in a form, which lies outside of earthly ability. The evidence must be given to you humans that it is not a person who compiles a spiritual gift for himself but that it is given to this person, that he can draw it from a source of supreme origin .... that I therefore reveal Myself and offer people a gift of grace of inestimable value .... And this you humans can test at any time if you want to know the pure truth about divine revelations, for what has come forth from Me directly stands up to every test, it will put people into a state of light .... of knowledge .... it will have an exceedingly gratifying effect and thus also awaken love for the giver .... The revelations will testify to the perfection of the giver, His love, wisdom and power will be obviously highlighted and can therefore be accepted as purest truth, which has taken its origin with Me Myself .... your God and creator from eternity .... Because as soon as light is given to you, the eternal light itself addresses you. Who now wants to walk in the light, to him it will shine brightly .... But until the end a battle will also be waged on the part of darkness against the light .... And that is why you will constantly be exposed to temptations, and always only My word from above will let you resist all these temptations, because with My word also power goes to you, and you will hold out until the end ...._>Amen

Accepting truth is a commitment .... Errors ....

B.D. 8555 from July 11th 1963, taken from Book No. 90

You are supposed to spread the truth .... That is the task you accepted voluntarily and which you should now put into practice if you want to serve Me as My disciples in the last days. But to spread the truth also includes fighting against error as soon as an error becomes evident to you. I keep telling you that you cannot be tolerant where it concerns the pure truth from Me, that you should support it firmly and not, due to alleged tolerance, allow for a continued existence of error .... You should denounce it as error and not shy away from proceeding against it, because it is My adversary's doing and will never serve to provide benefit for the human soul.

And especially you, who recognise the error because you have been instructed in the truth by Me Myself .... should not shy away from it, because you have the right to fight it. You are sent by Me amongst people as bearers of light with an ample supply of spiritual knowledge that justifies your actions against error because you are able to refute and decry it as a work of My adversary .... He is at work where error exists because only purest truth originates from Me, but he constantly tries to undermine the pure truth.

The human being has free will which will be seized by the direction of its choice. If he looks for contact with Me he will be given pure truth indeed, and he should work with it too, i.e., he should pass it on to his fellow human beings whose thoughts remain misguided as long as they are not educated by Me Myself as the Eternal Truth.

My adversary will try to work in the same manner and will also be successful with people who are not aware of the great responsibility, who do not understand what it means to receive purest truth and to pass it on .... who do not fear error as it should be feared and who therefore do not inwardly resist when My adversary tries to convey error to them. My adversary will also disguise himself as an angel of light but he will not be able to deceive you, My bearers of light. You will recognise his activity and then should also take action against it, since this is the task which you have volunteered to do for Me.

Wherever you recognise wrong thoughts you should enlighten your fellow human beings about the pure truth, you should help them to let go of the error and realise what is right. Show them their wrong opinion clearly and openly, so that they, too, will arrive at the truth and deliver themselves from My adversary, who is still able to influence them because he still somehow has a claim on those he plunged into error due to their similar inclinations .... It is not advisable to abandon such a misguided person, rather, he should be helped to recognise his error and agree to accept the truth, only then will he derive a benefit from it himself, and only then will he, too, be a true vineyard labourer for Me.

A bearer of truth cannot be tolerant and leave his fellow human beings in error due to kindness .... He should clearly point out that the other person does not think correctly, that he was influenced by My adversary irrespective of how the error was imparted to him .... For the adversary will always be able to interfere with a person's thoughts who is not so intimately in contact with Me that I can protect him .... But it is certain that I Myself do not transmit spiritual knowledge to a person which does not correspond to the truth, and this has to be clear to the person, otherwise My love, wisdom and might could in fact be doubted .... It follows that a direct transmission of My Word to a person cannot have taken place if it is associated with error ....

You humans cannot be careful enough and always have to fear the adversary's influence as long as you do not give yourselves to Me completely and ask for My protection, which I will truly grant everyone who sincerely wants to live in utmost truth and pass it on to his fellow human beings in turn, if they are destined by Me for this truth .... Error is true poison for the human soul, consequently you should take action against it and repeatedly oppose it with truth, since you received it from Me because it is necessary that light should shine into the darkness .... Your free will allows the influx of misguided thoughts, for if you would inwardly resist them in the awareness only to serve the pure truth, misguided mental concepts could not become established in you .... But I can never acknowledge that something which contradicts the pure truth has originated from Me .... You therefore should only ever make sure to spread purest truth and declare uncompromising war on error, and you will act in accordance with My will and on My behalf ....

Amen

Adversity and suffering are means to find God ....

B.D. 8556 from July 11th 1963, taken from Book No. 90

Much spiritual misery will still be spread out before you, and you are to always seek to relieve it, because men need comfort and strengthening, and this you can give to them, you who receive My word from Me, which is power and will also have an effect as power everywhere where it is willingly received. All men still move in spiritual darkness and are therefore also unhappy, but as soon as a small light is lit for them, which now illuminates their way, they will now continue this way full of hope and reach ever brighter light, then it will become day in their hearts, and they have escaped greatest trouble .... For they shall get to know Me Myself through you, they shall know that I as father take care of all My children, that they need never go through earthly life alone and abandoned if only they let Me Myself walk beside them, if they join Me, take hold of My hand and want to be guided by Me through earthly life .... Then they will also soon feel secure in Me; they will know about My will and seek to fulfil it, and thus they will establish an indissoluble bond with Me and henceforth no longer be lonely. As long as a person knows nothing about his purpose of earthly life, as long as his eyes are only turned towards the earthly world, he will still be distant from Me Myself, and he will be helpless as soon as he is struck by a stroke of fate. But if it is possible for him to turn his eyes towards the spiritual kingdom then he will also receive help from there, which can already consist of him being prompted to think about his life and its meaning .... And if it is possible for him to call upon his God and creator in hours of earthly adversity, then he need not despair, for this God and creator hears him because He is also his father and wants to be recognized as father by the human being .... And not infrequently I therefore use sorrowful means to turn the human being's thoughts towards the spiritual kingdom, for many hands now reach out to him from this spiritual kingdom and pull him up, i.e., the thoughts will then increasingly deal with the kingdom which is not of this world .... To you men, who are pressed by suffering, I am always close and only wait that you turn towards Me, that you grasp My hand and ask Me to be your companion, and you will now be able to continue your earth way unconcerned, because you are now so guided that you can mature spiritually, as soon as only your will is good .... Recognize that you alone are weak, lightless creatures, and therefore entrust yourselves to Him Who is full of light and strength, believe in My infinite love, Which does not want to see any of Its creatures unhappy or even lose them .... He will always be ready to help, be it in earthly or spiritual adversity; He will give you the right nourishment for your earthly life .... Food and drink for your soul, which He alone can administer to you .... He will impart His word to you, the bread of heaven, which you can receive at any time if you long for My word, which gives you strength because My word is blessed with My strength .... Believe that you are in close contact with your God and creator, with your father from eternity, and that only you yourselves have to turn to Him of your own free will in order to be seized by Him and safely guided until the end of your life .... If you come to Me yourselves in prayer or unite with Me in thoughts or through work in love, then you have done everything what corresponds to My will, and then you will also reach your aim, the final union with Me, which earns you eternal life. That is why you have to go over earth for a short time and are not to complain when you have to suffer or fight, but bear everything devotedly, what I let come over you, because they are always just means, which are to let you find to Me, that you join Me inwardly, that you devote yourselves to Me fully trusting .... that you establish the child relationship to Me, your father from eternity. In the world you are mostly kept from sending your thoughts into the spiritual kingdom, and I then have to touch you painfully because I want to bring Myself close to you. But blessed are you when you then take refuge in Me, because then I truly no longer let you go from Me .... And I help you to get through earth life with all burdens and sufferings, because it passes, and even if the body passes away, the soul remains, and it can now enter into an eternal life, where it will forget all sufferings and pains of this world .... And believe it, life only still lasts a short time, because soon the period of time is over, which was granted to men, soon one redemption period comes to an end, and a new one begins .... And because the way is only still short it will also be arduous at times because men shall still reach the destination who are of good will ...._>Amen

Sound of the word in the universe ....

B.D. 8557 from July 13th 1963, taken from Book No. 90

Sparks of light flash everywhere when My word can be sounded in the universe, and everywhere these sparks of light will be sprayed when My word is accepted and forwarded .... For from the source of light from eternity this light is emitted, and every spark will spread a gentle light in whose glow countless beings from Me bask, i.e. fetch strength and warmth for their path to ascent .... For they must already be on this path to ascent otherwise they shun the light and flee it because the kingdom of darkness still holds them captive and they do not feel the benefit of light. My word is the stream of light and power, which flows out from Me directly and touches all lightless and weak beingness, which does not avoid it. My word is therefore also the sure help for every fallen being, which could not come up without a help .... My word is My direct love light ray, which is to show the beingness, which is still in darkness, a way out to the light of day. Where such a spark of light can arise, souls will also find themselves, which are in trouble, because they lack light and power. And these souls I can now touch quietly with My word; I can give them bright thoughts and also touch the love spark in the heart that it gets excited and ignites and now also My love ray can have a stronger effect on them so that power and light is supplied to them and their state of trouble is remedied. My word has a great power effect, as soon as it once has been given to the soul .... no matter whether on earth or in the beyond .... could sound .... which, however, also requires free will to receive light and strength. Because where My word is rejected it also cannot become effective, then it sounds in space to be received there by souls hungry for light and power .... It will therefore sound everywhere, but the effect is determined by the beings themselves, whether they let themselves be touched by My love power current or flee it .... And this is determined by free will, which I will never force. But no being in My kingdom, whether redeemed or unredeemed, needs to do without My love power current; My word is brought to all, and every soul can go into My love current circle; it can seek out the places where My word can sound, where a receptive soul willingly opens itself to Me that I can let My love current radiate in .... And all spiritual will be allowed to hear My voice; all spiritual will be addressed by its God and creator and be able to receive power and light in all fullness .... But the measure is again determined by free will, but it will not be limited from My side, because My love is infinite, and so also I always only want to give, to make happy, with all love-glory, which is My original being .... That is why I will also not shrink back from the repulsion of My love and always just pursue the object of My love, that he once surrenders to Me, that he returns My love and now I can exchange Myself directly with him through My word .... Uninterruptedly it will sound in My kingdom and seek to convince all spiritual of My love, wisdom and power .... And where My word is received believingly, there I will also be recognized as the most perfect being, and hot love will be brought towards Me, because this is the effect of My word, that it .... since it is radiated love power .... that every being whose original element was emanated strength of love must also return to its original state .... that it is love like Me Myself and will now also be able to create and work like Me, as was its destiny in the beginning .... When the being enters the love-current again, from which it once voluntarily stepped out, then it has to be irretrievably radiated through again by My love, and this love-radiation also forms it again to its original being .... But every being is illuminated by My love power, to which My word can sound, because My word is love radiation which has become form, which every being can accept and then also its reshaping or reshaping back to its original being will take place .... And so this ray of love will be guided everywhere where only an I-conscious being is on the way of return into the father's house .... It will be guided to earth, it will penetrate into otherworldly spheres, it will shine everywhere where there is spiritual essence once radiated by Me .... Because My word means help for the still imperfect spiritual, but as it also means unlimited happiness for the spiritual already standing in light, because it is always the supply of My love power, which helps to perfection and endlessly makes happy all beings in the spiritual kingdom, which have already found to life, which lasts eternally ...._>Amen

Exceeding the power of the opponent and end ....

B.D. 8558 from July 14th 1963, taken from Book No. 90

The adversary's work is included in My plan of salvation of deification because I foresaw it from eternity that he will not change before until he is completely robbed of his attachment .... And this will still take eternities, for the immense number of once fallen spiritual beings will need eternities until their redemption from matter .... And for that long My adversary will offer Me the resistance on which the beings are to test themselves in the stage of their embodiment as a human being. But My adversary will never gain supremacy because as soon as he exceeds his authority he will be bound and completely prevented from his activity. And the 'overstepping of the authority' consists of him wanting to deprive people of all knowledge about Me, of him wanting to prevent them from making their free decision of will by confusing their concepts so that they no longer recognize between whom they are to decide .... For they must have knowledge, both of Me as well as of My adversary, and they must be able to choose freely, but therefore also know about both partners .... about their existence and about their nature and their aims .... Only then can they be called to account for their decision. In the last days before the end My adversary's intention and activity goes so far as to deprive people of their belief in the existence of a God .... to plunge people into complete disbelief in a power Which created them and before Which they will one day have to answer after the death of their body .... He goes so far that he also portrays every survival of man as erroneous, that he does not accept anything that is connected with a higher being, Which is loving, wise and powerful, and above all he undermines the knowledge and the faith in the work of redemption of Jesus Christ. So he does everything to prevent men from all intercourse with Me (man's return to Me), which is the purpose and aim of their (his) earthly life .... And since people cannot defend themselves without all knowledge of the one Who could help them in their adversity, My adversary's activity therefore far exceeds his authority. For he certainly has the right to exert his influence on people and to win them over for himself, yet he does not have the right to make My existence entirely implausible to people or to prevent them from taking notice of the fact that there is a God with Whom the human being is in closest union .... Then therefore his binding is necessary, he must be made completely harmless for a time, what is possible for My power at any time, so that mankind does not get into the danger to get completely lost .... For My endeavour will always be to help people to reach the aim one day, to return to the father from Whom they originated. I have known since eternity to what extent humanity will sink through the influence of My adversary, and then I will relentlessly intervene to prevent him from his work, and only then will I enable humanity to strive unhindered through him towards Me again .... And I also know when I allow his work again when it is necessary to test the will of men and to put him again before his decision .... My plan is fixed since eternity because everything is known to Me, the will direction of men, the power to resist the enemy and the nature of the faith of men .... which only needs to be alive to also lead to the right success .... But if everything has reached the lowest low, then I also intervene with My power and bring about a violent change .... both of the external creations which contribute to the maturing of the spiritual as well as of the human race, which .... if it fails .... has to cover the path through creation again .... And then also My opponent's work must be made impossible for a time, so that those men can strive towards Me unhindered, who belong to Me according to their will, who have detached themselves from him and who also became free from their sin guilt through the sacrifice of Jesus on the cross and His favours acquired through it and are now candidates of the kingdom, in which I alone rule, in which My opponent has no share. He certainly also has a right to people's souls, however he may not exceed his right that he prevents people from reaching their aim, for the free decision is assured to every soul, which I guarantee to it and which also My adversary has to respect .... Mankind is about to come to an end, for My adversary's raging has assumed such proportions that his hour will soon have come when he will be bound again and all influence on humanity will be taken away from him .... And then there will be a time of peace and harmony, then love alone will rule, because for a long time evil will no longer have any influence on people, because they are intimately united with Me and now also their ascent is secured and they finally return to Me, their God and father from eternity ...._>Amen

God's wooing of vineyard workers ....

B.D. 8559 from July 15th 1963, taken from Book No. 90

In spiritual unity you are to serve Me, and great blessing will arise from your activity. Again and again I recruit vineyard workers, people who have the will to be active for Me and My kingdom, who themselves are permeated by eagerness to love and who therefore also have the ability to be able to work successfully. It is always your will to love which guarantees success .... the will to help those who are in spiritual need .... This will to love will drive you from within to be active for Me, and then you will also certainly be able to record success. Because again and again I tell you: The need is great .... if only because there is not much time left and night will inevitably fall upon people who live in darkness because they did not seek the light. Just light a little light for them, so that they recognize the way, which leads out of the darkness of night to the light of the day. And consider your work for Me and My kingdom as urgent, because I have commissioned innumerable light beings for you, who will always see to it that all your earthly duties and demands are taken care of .... who stand by you in every way, where you are still earthly bound, and who also support you in every spiritual activity, because if only your earnest wanting is meant for Me, also everything else is secured, as I have promised with the words: "Seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, everything else will fall to you ...." As long as you still stand in the midst of the world, the spiritual kingdom has moved into the distance for you, and everything earthly has priority, because you can register earthly success, while the spiritual work remains seemingly unsuccessful .... But don't be deceived .... Earthly successes will melt away into nothing, but spiritual work earns you otherworldly treasures, which will one day determine the degree of your happiness. And therefore take care for the spiritual kingdom, for the time after your earthly life, which can already be over for you any day .... Therefore do not take everything earthly important, but turn all your care and attention to spiritual activity, and you will not regret it. Again and again I call you to work in My vineyard, and truly, you will receive great reward, you who comply with My call, you who endeavour to bring My gospel to your fellow human beings .... you who cultivate fallow fields .... you who scatter the seed in people's hearts, which I Myself supply to you .... You can hand out purest truth and thus offer people a delicious seed which is to sprout in their hearts and bear rich fruit .... And whoever receives this truth from Me, directly or through messengers, and passes it on to those who are still poor in spirit, who need a supply of strength in order to be able to help themselves out of spiritual hardship, he will truly earn great spiritual merit, and also earthly I want to reward his work for Me and My kingdom .... But for the sake of earthly reward you are not to do it, but love towards your fellowmen is to drive you, and this love I will also assess as love towards Me, and it will always bring you closer to Me; every unselfish work of love, which is to be regarded as right vineyard work, will unite you more and more with Me, Who am love Himself .... Just grasp the correlations, and you will find your happiness yourselves in the effort to help your fellow human beings, to bring salvation to their souls, for as soon as you recognize that all people are My creatures, which came forth from My love, you also look upon all fellow human beings as your brothers, and you also seek to unite your brothers, who are still distant from Me, with Me by announcing My will to them, the fulfilment of which is the meaning and purpose of earthly life .... And believe Me that I need you, that you are no useless servants to Me when you yourselves only want to work for My kingdom, because I will always assign the work to you so as you are able to do it; I will overtax no-one and also give to everyone the necessary power, because you are to be active in My stead. Because I Myself cannot speak to men who have so little faith that they establish no union with Me. But they are also not to remain without My address, and therefore I speak through your mouth, or also: You carry My word further to the places where there is drought, where the living water is to fertilize desolate stretches of land .... you proclaim the gospel to men, which they must hear, if salvation is still to be brought to their souls. And so speak in My stead, and this ministry I will truly reward you .... My word shall also sound to those who themselves do not take the way to Me .... to them you are to bring My word; you are to invite them to also come to the table where everyone is to be fed and watered with delicious food and delicious drink. And you can approach boldly, even if they reject you, because I will put the words into your mouth, with which you are to address them, and their hearts I will touch, that they recognize My voice, that they do not reject unwillingly, but think about it. Believe it that I need you because only men will find the way to the heart of fellowman; I Myself cannot speak to them because they would not hear My voice through their inner resistance, which they have towards their God and creator. And because I need you I again and again solicit your willingness to serve Me and My kingdom .... For the time being I address you Myself and only call upon you to pass on My gifts so that your fellow human beings also take part in them for the salvation of their souls. And if love is in you, then also the misery of the souls will take pity on you, and you will want to help them, and then also your work will be of success .... You will win souls for Me, which now no longer get lost, which feel touched by My word and now strive for Me in right eagerness. Then you all also need not fear the end, because who is Mine, him I will rescue out of all trouble ...._>Amen

Man's surrender to the divine will ....

B.D. 8560 from July 16th 1963, taken from Book No. 90

Again and again I will enlighten you as to what you should do in order to successfully take the path of return to Me during earthly life .... Again and again I will explain to you the reason for your humanity, the cause of your apostasy from Me and likewise try to make you understand that your return has to be carried out in opposition to your apostasy .... Arrogance and lust for power let you fall, humility and serving love leads you up again to My father's heart, which has pursued you with its love also into the deep and always only endeavours to make the way of return easier for you, so that your earth way has not been in vain .... You gave up your love for Me and now have to long for My love again in your deepest heart .... Everything you must do voluntarily, as you once voluntarily left Me and followed him who blinded you .... So you must now consciously turn away from him if you want to return to Me .... And so I will always announce My will to you for the time of your existence as a human being .... If you just keep to it that you do not oppose Me anew, then you also reach the aim, the union with Me, which was the original state and therefore also the state of happiness. A man who knows nothing about why and for what purpose he lives on earth, he cannot be called to account, but as soon as My will is announced to him and his earth existence is truthfully explained to him, he can no longer escape his responsibility. He can reject this knowledge as untrustworthy, but it will arise again and again in his thoughts, and he must inwardly deal with it .... Therefore his earthly life can also be an idle run, he can sink back in his degree of development or enter the kingdom of the beyond with an eclipsed spirit, where he will also still be offered the possibility to come to knowledge if he does not strive towards the deepest depth, which can earn him a renewed banishment again. But as long as a redemption period has not yet expired he still has the possibility to ascend out of the depth, out of darkness, to the light .... But indescribably happy will the soul be when it already reaches its aim on earth or enters the spiritual kingdom with a small degree of knowledge, which it can and will increase there at any time, as soon as it has received light just once, as soon as it has found faith in Me, its God and redeemer, on earth and handed itself over to Me. It is just exceedingly necessary that all men are instructed in this truthful knowledge about their sense of existence and purpose; it is so necessary that men are found who are willing to pass on such knowledge .... But it also always requires a certain willingness to accept the knowledge, for people cannot be forcibly led to the light because their return to Me has to be voluntary, just as their apostasy from Me was also voluntary .... And their willingness to accept depends again on their degree of love, which every person can let flare up in himself because I have added a tiny spark of My love to him for the time of his human existence on this earth .... Therefore it is possible for every man to also come to knowledge about his actual purpose of existence, but it always depends on his free will whether he brings the little spark of love in him to flare up. Where you now can, you are to teach your fellowmen; you are to just seek to stimulate their thoughts, and light beings will then switch on, which further have an effect on the thoughts of those who are not completely unwilling. Since the return of every soul to Me is My ultimate aim, I will truly also bless you who voluntarily render Me your services in this work of return, who receive My instructions and thus carry them out as faithful servants of the lord, to Whom you voluntarily offered yourselves for this work in recognition of the great spiritual adversity, which requires your full commitment. I can instruct you Myself, what however is not possible with every man, and that is why you are to speak as man to man and pass on the knowledge, which you receive from Me, to those, who desire it or just open their ear to you without resistance to listen to you. All people should only ever bear in mind that their earthly lifetime is limited .... but that the death of the body is not the end but the actual human being's ego .... the soul .... lives on, and indeed in the state which it has prepared for itself on earth .... And so that this state may be a blessed one, all you humans should only fulfil My will, which I constantly announce to you through My word .... Therefore listen to My messengers, who bring you My word, and not only be hearers but doers of My word .... and truly, you will reach your aim still on earth and reach life, which lasts eternally ...._>Amen

Jesus must be accepted as Savior ....

B.D. 8561 from July 17th 1963, taken from Book No. 90

Who gets to Jesus in life, is guaranteed to return to Me, because by Jesus he will be set free from all guilt of sins, that is between Me and My creature.The recognition of Jesus and His work of redemption can not be avoided, to be free of the guilt of sins. And it must be the devotion to Jesus consciously, it must be intimate desire of the heart, to enter into communion with Him, it must not be only a form of faith, that every man may have as a result of his education or teachings, to which he himself does not have taken yet a position and has come to a living faith in Him as the Son of God and Savior of the world .... But think seriously on these things, that not the belonging to a church guarantees once to depart redeemed from the earth and enter into the spiritual kingdom. Everything that is taught you by the church about Jesus Christ, that must have become spiritual ideas, you shall even have stated yourselves a position to this, and then it will only decide, whether you possess a living or a dead faith, that only does not contradict, but also does not fully recognize, because it makes him indifferent to what the churches teach, but nevertheless he feels as a Christian and his faith is to do his duty, if he keeps the commandments, that the church demands of him .... You must be instructed truthfully about the meaning and reason of the work of redemption of Jesus Christ .... And just this knowledge is to be found still slightly among the people, because they all adhere a certain indifference, because people only think little about spiritual questions and particulary in the end time they almost are entirely without faith in a realm beyond the earth, although this realm is their true home .... Therefore, it is always a blessing for the people, when it is advised by vineyard workers on Jesus Christ and His act of salvation .... when the people are given impulse to think about, who Jesus really was and what was His mission on earth. This is such an important task to My vineyard workers to mention Jesus and His act of salvation again and again, because alone the future lot is depending on the attitude of man to Him, which can be blissful, but also endlessly painful, and the man himself creates that during earthly life. And I will make it far easier for you people to believe in Him, when I Myself give you a knowledge about it from above .... that I work unusual by the spirit and everything that, what no man else could know and claim, make known him and explain, how everything is connected, so that man now can believe convinced, if he deepends into knowledge, given by messengers and if he is full of good intentions .... people can no longer bring forward proof of the existence of the man Jesus, but everything is just handed down to them, and therefore many people decline it .... But again and again I let send information over it to a man anew, as he has prepared himself as a vessel for the stream of My spirit, that then can pour into him .... and now is the guarantee for it, that the purest truth is approaching people from Him, Who knows everything and even if it’s still so far behind, and Who can also equip you people with this knowledge, because He has the power to it. And because it is extremely important, that you people get knowledge about it, that you are not allowed to pass by Jesus Christ, that you must ask Him for the redemption of your guilt, then to be admitted into the kingdom of light, when you leave the earth, I will send you people again and again, who impart you this knowledge, I will help you to find the way to the cross, and I will give you the strength to go this path, but you must voluntarily open yourselves and accept, what My messengers want to convey to you, it will not be your damage, but you will thank Me for ever, that I put down and explain the act of salvation of Jesus Christ in this way to you, that it is credible for you and you now go the way to the cross consciously .... Because Jesus alone opens the gates of the kingdom of light, which were closed to you since your falling away from Me .... He alone took your guilt upon Himself and atoneded it through His death on the cross, and He alone leads you back to Me, your Father from eternity, from whom you are started at the beginning ....

Amen

Truthful knowledge can lessen resistance ....

B.D. 8562 from July 18th 1963, taken from Book No. 90

Regardless of what earthly objections you encounter, firmly hold on to the fact that you are working on My behalf even if they call you fantasists and deny your direct bond with Me, your God and Creator. They are unable to understand as long as they have not established this bond themselves, but those of you who have already attained it shall not let yourselves be shaken by them, for they still belong to the world, while you already aspire to the spiritual kingdom, which is not of this world. People will often be so distant from Me that they will ridicule your faith in My presence .... But you hold visible proof in your hands .... you are in possession of My Word, which has not come forth from any other source but from Me directly, for you will be able to prove to them that you have not received it through any other means than through the working of the spirit in you .... Anyone who listens to you will be able to verify the truth of this statement, but anyone who instantly refuses to listen is and will remain completely uninformed, and thus he will forfeit a great gift of grace because he fails to make use of it and, without blessings, he will never be able to become blissfully happy. Every person must dare to take the step from the earthly into the spiritual kingdom, only then will his understanding grow, he will look upon everything with different eyes, then he will allow for a second life beside the purely earthly life and only then will his earthly life gain in significance, because then he will have a goal he consciously wants to reach. Yet it will become increasingly rare for a person to form a serious opinion about the spiritual knowledge you offer to him, usually they won’t even listen to you in the first place but instantly reject any kind of spiritual discussion, they find everything inconvenient which might awaken in them the slightest sense of responsibility, they are so deeply involved with the earthly world that a spiritual kingdom seems doubtful to them and therefore they do not want to deal with spiritual subjects either. Nor can you provide them with proof unless you prove that your knowledge is something unusual so that they will have to believe that people are directly addressed by a God and Creator, yet they will only be able to gain this faith if they are of good will themselves, because no person will ever be influenced against their will .... For this reason nothing else can be done for the salvation of such unbelieving souls than to repeatedly draw their attention to the actual purpose of earthly life and to stimulate their mental activity. And I will always support your efforts through destined interventions, so that people will have to face up to situations in life when they will find themselves helpless and thereby must learn to recognise a higher Power above themselves .... So that for the time being they would have to deal with other thoughts than purely with the earthly world. Then they will also be more accessible to spiritual conversations. Nevertheless, it is a great blessing if such people are confronted by a true messenger .... appointed by Me Myself, for then he need not search in the first place, instead, the truth is carried to him, and with good will realisation would come much easier to him. For the truth will not fail to have its desired effect, it will be easily understood and also please a person who takes possession of it.

And thus it will only ever be your task to inform your fellow human beings of My working on and in yourselves, so that they will first reflect on it and then can be inwardly taught by the world of light .... so that they will start to think about it and subsequently may always approach you for confirmation, because you advocate the same spiritual knowledge which is mentally offered to them by the world of light .... always providing that they desire the truth .... that they not only thoughtlessly accept what is presented to them but that they only want to recognise and accept what is right .... If someone bluntly rejects you, let him be, but take care of those who are undecided and only need to be introduced to the right knowledge in order to accept it. No greater means of help can be offered to people anymore than the transmission of My Word from above .... For this contains the strength which will also impress those who are still spiritually weak, who merely require an impetus in order to gain faith .... and who will surely receive this impetus if they are given an explanation as to why they live on earth .... A truthful reason for their earthly existence can tear down a person’s every resistance and make him receptive for additional knowledge. And you, My servants on earth, can at all times provide your fellow human beings with this truthful knowledge and they will not be able to disregard it .... However, you must always give them the opportunity to pose questions, which you will then answer correctly. The truth will always be effective; it will be understood by those who seriously ask you with the will to find the right answer. Nevertheless, those who lack this will won’t believe you and thus the work of leading them to the spiritual path will be unsuccessful. And if you, who possess the pure truth, cannot succeed, then it will definitely not be possible for other people who know too little themselves to instruct their fellow human beings. And time and again I will still make use of the means which can be successful, such as severe strokes of fate, diseases and suffering, in which they can recognise their own helplessness and turn to the Power Which they must acknowledge above themselves .... I will react to the slightest thought of Me and truly, it will only be in your best interest, for it is not My will that even one person should go astray, instead, it is My will to give everyone the life which lasts forever.

Amen

Feeding the knowledge of earth life purpose ....

B.D. 8563 from July 19th 1963, taken from Book No. 90

I will always supply you with the knowledge, which you need to cover your earth way successfully. And that is why you should also learn about the cause and purpose of your existence as a human being, in order to then conduct your earthly change in accordance with this knowledge, for as soon as you know where you originated from and the relationship you have with the power Which brought you into being, you will now also consciously live .... recognizing that you should change your nature to love, because your original element is love, which you only rejected self-willedly when you once distanced yourselves from Me, Who is eternal love Itself .... You are My share, you emerged from Me, and since My primal element is love you therefore had to be the same in your substance .... But at the beginning of your embodiment as man you lack love, for you once gave it away voluntarily .... And during earth life you are to achieve a complete change of your nature so that you become again what you were in the beginning that your nature is pure love and now you yourselves are in most intimate contact with Me again and are unimaginably happy. As long as you humans are without knowledge you will do nothing to change your nature into love. Therefore I always endeavour to convey this knowledge to you. You are to be enlightened through My servants about your purpose of existence. But only those servants can give you a truthful enlightenment, which they have received from Me themselves, and you are to listen to these .... I have always spoken to men, and I will always speak to them to give them knowledge about their earth assignment, about My will and about all connections, which now also justify their assignment as well as My will .... But this knowledge is not to be proven; it must be believed, but can also be believed, because the inner spirit spark, which slumbers in every man, can give man the certainty from within and man then no longer needs proof. The spiritual spark is the proof of My endless love towards the once fallen one, which turned away from Me and gave itself to his love .... For without love a return to Me was never possible .... And therefore I put a spark of My love into every human heart, and this spark of love is the spirit which can and will inform you humans from within if only you allow it to express itself, if only you listen to it and follow its instructions .... For he will stimulate you to be active in love, and if you follow his suggestion you already start the transformation of your nature, you enter the path of return to Me, for love brings about the complete transformation of the nature, love approaches Me as the eternal love .... To work with love is to fulfil My will, to work with love means to enter the original state where the being could not work in any other way than in love .... Your earthly task now consists of you achieving this change back into your original state, of you doing everything to mature .... that you discard all your vices and desires, weaknesses and faults .... that you perfect yourselves into divine creatures, that you completely detach yourselves from him who is to blame for your low state and who also wants to keep you in the deep .... You must become free from him, and that requires a constant fight against your passions and urges, which are signs of belonging to your adversary, through which he keeps you tied to him and which you can well fight and overcome if you make use of My help for this .... For you are too weak on your own, you lack strength as a result of your past sin of repelling My strength of love .... Therefore you must accept My help, which I have acquired for you through My sacrificial death on the cross. You must know all this, and therefore it is My greatest concern to inform you of it truthfully, only then you can mentally take a stand on it yourselves and now act as your heart commands you .... And as soon as you are of good will your heart will also instruct you correctly, it will inwardly urge you to fulfil My will .... You will live a life of love and thus work on the transformation of your nature, on the change of self-love .... which is still the sign of adversarial influence .... into unselfish neighbourly love, into pure, divine love, which never demands but gives, which always seeks only to please and never demands the fulfilment of its own desires .... And thus the soul .... the real I of man .... will again enter into the divine order from which it had once stepped out and therefore fell to the deep. It will now ascend again and come closer to Me inwardly until it will unite with Me and now also come to life again, which lasts forever ...._>Amen

Process of return ....

B.D. 8564 from July 20th 1963, taken from Book No. 90

Nothing can be lost forever once it has arisen from Me and My strength .... It continues to exist because it is everlasting and will infallibly return to Me as the eternal source of strength, because this is based on My law of eternal order. However, the being which came forth from Me as a perfect and divine being was also able to voluntarily reverse its nature into the opposite, it was able to relinquish its perfection and shape itself into an anti-divine being .... And so it did and was not stopped by Me because I pursued a plan, because I had a goal in mind for all 'created' beings: that they would become My 'children' which I was unable to 'create', instead, they had to shape themselves into it of their own free will .... Thus I did not prevent their apostasy from Me but prepared a process of return for all once fallen beings: I reshaped the strength I once emanated as a being into all kinds of works of creation .... I dissolved the beings into countless minute particles, which animated the works of creation and thus the strength became active again according to My will .... that is, every work of creation had to fulfil its designated task as a matter of natural law, for I created nothing without reason and purpose .... Each work of creation had its function and thus My love and wisdom and might created an earthly world which sheltered all these fallen tiny particles of soul which gradually increased in maturity because they were intended to one day come together again as individual beings, and this is because they were intended to embody themselves in a human being as the once fallen original spirit in order to pass the final test of will: to voluntarily turn to Me again, just as it had once voluntarily turned away from Me .... And this infinitely long path of higher development signifies a path of service for the tiny particles dissolved from the original being .... in contrast to the fall, which was based on the being's arrogance and thirst for power .... The return can only take place by way of constant service which, admittedly, happens in the state of compulsion until sooner or later, in the state of a human being, the being shall voluntarily be of service, driven by love .... which then will guarantee its certain perfection on this earth. The path the once fallen being has to take until it can make its final decision in the state of free will as a human being is infinitely long .... This path is so excruciatingly painful that his past memory has been taken away from the human being because he should make a free decision and the knowledge of the agony and suffering in the bound state would enslave his freedom of wanting and thinking as a human being .... For fear would impel him into making the right decision, but this would be utterly worthless for the soul and its perfection ....

The human being should freely want to be of service for the sake of love and attaining maturity himself, this is why he lives on earth .... For the human being is the once fallen original spirit to whom My infinite love opens up all possibilities in order to become again what he had been in the beginning: a supremely perfect being but which has attained perfection of its own free will which I was unable to give to the being and thereby the 'created work' has become My image, My 'child' .... This is the goal had I set Myself from the start, which required an infinitely long path of development and which is to be understood as 'My eternal plan of Salvation' .... And now you humans know that you are these fallen spirits and have almost reached the goal of voluntarily uniting yourselves with Me which, in turn, means that you should change yourselves into love in order to be able to unite with Me, the eternal Love .... Now you know that your existence did not simply start as a human being but that you already existed for a very long time .... You know that you did not originate from Me in the state that cannot be called perfect, for as humans you have weaknesses and faults, you are not perfect creatures and therefore cannot have come forth from Me in this state, since I can only create something perfect .... And this knowledge should make you think and also lead to the realisation that your earthly life must have a purpose: to achieve the perfection again which was yours in the very beginning and which you voluntarily gave up .... Thus you also know your task which consists of changing into love, which is your fundamental element, for you are the same as I Am in your fundamental substance .... Admittedly, as a human being you are still far removed from perfection, nevertheless, you are and remain divine living creations which can never cease to exist anymore and whose perfection I will take care of time and again, who I will never let fall and who one day will very certainly reach the final goal of being and remaining intimately united with Me for all eternity .... The fact that you know little about it is only due to your weak degree of love, otherwise you would be fully enlightened and also close to perfection. Nevertheless, the knowledge of it is given to you by My side as long as you are merely willing to accept it .... as long as you merely desire to know the correlations concerning you, your God and Creator of eternity and the whole of Creation .... Then you really will be instructed in all truthfulness and also consciously travel your path on earth with the goal of final union with Me .... You will attain perfection and a life in beatitude which will last forever ....

Amen

God assures vineyard workers of help ....

B.D. 8565 from July 21st 1963, taken from Book No. 90

You may expect every help from Me if you are willing to serve Me .... be this help spiritual or also earthly .... I will always direct your thoughts so that you are active in My will. Because again and again I tell you that there is no longer much time and that you cannot work diligently enough for Me and My kingdom. But I will also support you in every way because I alone know where and how your vineyard work still has a beneficial effect. I know it where men are who feel touched by My direct address, who accept them happy when you speak to them on My behalf. I also know in which degree of maturity every single soul stands and how I now can give to it according to this maturity. From you I only demand good will and voluntary devotion to Me, and truly, your ways will be right and always lead there where I need your services. And you will also obviously experience the proof of My presence; you will find the truth of My word confirmed, because also your daily experience will be so that you know Me present with you and that you therefore also do not need to worry at all. And in this My presence you are to know yourselves to be safe at any time, then you will trustingly carry out every daily work, always in the certainty that you do it for Me and are therefore directed right. More and more I want to tie you to Me; deeper and deeper the feeling of spiritual union with Me is to take root in you; more and more firm is to be your faith in My guidance, so that you now also do your spiritual work in all confidence that it brings the right success for yourselves as well as for all souls, to whom you seek to bring salvation, may it be on earth or also in the kingdom on the other side. And you are to convey My word to all of them, which is intended to help them achieve maturity of soul .... And even if the world again and again wants to put itself into the foreground .... My word will lead you back into silence .... When you hear or read My word, you will also be able to detach yourselves from the world; you will be connected with the spiritual kingdom, which is your true home, and you will stretch out your arms longingly towards there, be drawn by the light beings of My kingdom and also willingly follow them. For much light will be emitted by these beings upon you who voluntarily offer yourselves to Me for service .... They are happy to find eager co-workers on earth, and now also stand by you helpfully in every way, because to all spiritual full of light I hand you over for care, and truly, you will lack nothing .... Earthly and spiritually they will take care of you on My behalf, and you can tackle your daily work without hesitation; it will be a blessing for you .... And you will also understand that I do not speak to people on earth without purpose, that every one of My words is a flow of grace with an unheard-of effect on people's souls, and that is why I also want to bless you who contribute to My word being able to touch many people who no longer remain in resistance to Me. As soon as I can address a man Myself, there is also hope that he not only listens to My word, but lives it out, and then his earth course is truly no longer unsuccessful, then he will achieve it that his soul matures still on earth, and then also his endless long course of development before has not been in vain; after the death of his earthly body he will be able to enter into the realms of the blessed, because he has used the power, which flowed to him through My word .... He used it to change his nature into love .... And this alone is My aim, and also the workers in My vineyard are always only to bring My word to men, which teaches love, and who accepts it and lives it out, he will also accomplish the return to Me, which is purpose and aim of earth life .... And therefore you can all help Me who want to serve Me, so that not a single soul gets lost, but all come to life, which lasts forever ...._>Amen

Process of creation and apostasy of the beings ....

B.D. 8566 from July 22nd 1963, taken from Book No. 90

Believe Me, I will gladly instruct you when I recognise your longing for truthful knowledge, because I only emanate light and this light permeates the darkness .... However, you are still in an area of darkness where light has to be sent to you until you are so filled by it that you can also pass it on again yourselves .... But you will be receptive for My ray of light as soon as you desire clarification about regions which are still in darkness to you .... Then I can illuminate you, I can once again gradually return you to the state of enlightenment and introduce you to knowledge which will make you happy. And there shall be light in you, you shall know where you came from and your final goal on earth .... You can only receive this knowledge from Me Myself, Who created you for My pleasure ....

You came forth from Me Myself .... My strength of love externalised living creations who were like Me Myself, who were independent beings .... created by Me as miniatures of Myself. I gave life to these creations, i.e. they were able to create and work like Me, they were also able to hear My voice and therefore knew of Me Myself as their God and Creator, and they were faithfully devoted to Me and tremendously happy .... But you humans know little or nothing about the kingdom of these once blissful spirits .... This kingdom was originally created when I wanted to recognise Myself in images of Myself, when I created vessels into which I could pour My love .... I created spiritual beings because My infinite love wanted to give itself, it wanted to flow into similar beings whose perfection gave Me unimaginable bliss .... I created a spiritual world with living inhabitants for My delight, I populated it with creations of the most magnificent kind and rejoiced in the beings' bliss, to whom I gave such happiness because love, which was and remains My fundamental nature, motivated Me to do so ....

This spiritual world existed for an infinitely long time in harmony and most intimate unity of all beings with Me, their Creator and Provider .... For an infinitely long time these beings' will and love concurred with Mine .... Because the first created being, which I Myself had externalised in complete perfection, loved Me deeply and devotedly. It found unlimited bliss by constantly creating new beings brought to life through his will and the use of My strength .... which corresponded to My will, because the love this being felt for Me resulted in the same will. Consequently, there was no discord in the spiritual world, nothing contradicted My will, it was a world of unlimited happiness because all spiritual beings were teeming with light and strength and were able to create by using their own will .... which was also My will as long as the strength of My love permeated all My living creations .... But this perfect state did not last .... For I did not constrain the spiritual beings by My will, I gave free will to every single being as a sign of its divinity ....

The first created being .... Lucifer .... also had this free will .... and he misused it .... However, Lucifer could have voluntarily wanted the same as I Myself and he would have been infinitely happy and remained so forever .... But he misused his freedom of will and directed it wrongly, which resulted in a spiritual rebellion the consequences of which you humans cannot possibly understand. Nevertheless, you humans are the products of this past spiritual rebellion .... Lucifer, the first created being, with whom I was in constant contact through the Word, was able to think, as were all created beings, and therefore he was also able to infer a wrong meaning to My Word .... He had free will and could therefore also change the direction of his mind. He was able to leave the law of eternal order and set up completely wrong concepts and, by doing so, caused mental confusion in himself as well as in the beings who followed him, which resulted in momentous consequences .... He also transferred his wrong thoughts to the beings brought to life by his will and the use of My strength .... A general opposition to Me ensued, the beings resisted Me, they no longer accepted My illumination of love unreservedly and thereby grew weaker and darker .... They revolted against the law of eternal order, their thoughts made their own way ....

This resulted in an incredible chaos in the host of the first created spirits who then had to decide whom they should follow .... which resulted in the desertion of countless beings from Me. However, I did not put to a stop to it, I only saw in it a means which would lead to even greater bliss than I could give the 'created' beings .... who certainly had emanated from Me in all perfection but who nevertheless were always just My 'work' .... Now, after the apostasy from Me, they had the opportunity to return again as 'children' which would heighten their bliss by far, because the return to Me as a 'child' has to be achieved entirely voluntarily but then the being will be completely independent from Me, My power and My will, yet it will exist totally within My will since, due to its perfection, it will have totally accepted My will .... You humans are on this way of return to Me while you live on this earth, and if you are of good will My eternal light of love can permeate you once again, and all the knowledge you once possessed but voluntarily surrendered can be regained by you .... And I know of no greater bliss than to give you this knowledge, than to offer you My immense love and to change your state of darkness and ignorance, so that you will become as you were in the beginning, so that you will achieve unlimited happiness again, so that you will reach your goal and return as true children to Me, your Father of eternity, Whose love is and eternally will be for you who once came forth from His love ....

Amen

"Flesh and blood" .... spiritualf food ....

B.D. 8567 from July 23rd 1963, taken from Book No. 90

The spiritual food you receive is truly suitable to give your soul health, to give you strength in all earthly and spiritual adversities and to make you able to emerge from this earthly life as overcomers .... as overcomers of the world of My adversary, of matter and its fetters. I supply the soul with the right nourishment, which guarantees it perfection, if it lets itself be fed and watered by Me .... I have promised you My flesh and My blood, and this is to be understood so that I Myself am the word that became flesh .... that I Myself therefore offer Myself to you for food, because I Myself am the word, and My word is life and therefore also gives life to those who receive My word, who move it in their hearts and lead their earth walk according to My word. I promised you My flesh and My blood when I walked on earth .... My word with My strength, which will create a fundamental change in every person who therefore lets himself be fed and watered by Me. And again this is to be understood so that My love illumination hits you, as soon as you are allowed to receive My word, that love is power in itself and therefore also has to bring about a change in you .... that love power will again stimulate to love work and through this already the change of the soul to love takes place, which is meaning and purpose of your earth life. But you can never carry out this change of your nature to love when you are powerless, when you are not helped through supply of power, because you yourselves possess no power at the beginning of your embodiment as man, since you once voluntarily gave yourselves to power and therefore have to receive it again from Me as gift of favour, to now also be able to carry out the purpose of your earth life, exactly this change of your nature to love. And this supply of power secures you My word, My flesh and My blood, which will truly help you to complete recovery of the soul. Your soul needs a supply of strength out of Me, because without this it remains weak and incapable to overcome the world and earthly matter; it remains incapable to connect with Me, because it also cannot muster power for love work, which however alone connects it with Me .... But who lets himself be addressed by Me, who accepts My word with his power, who now also lives according to My word, since My word also announces My will to him, his soul certainly matures and reaches its earth life purpose, the intimate union with Me, which lets it become My child, which once will create and work in all freedom with and beside Me, as it was its purpose in the beginning. And so you can see from it that it is very necessary that the right food must be supplied to you men for your soul and that you cannot receive it everywhere, but you must drink the water of life at the spring, which I Myself open up for you, so that I can offer you My word in purest form, that it has not already been formed through human will and you then can no longer speak of the pure soul food, which helps you to full recovery. And you can see that every man does great services for Me who voluntarily offers to receive soul food from Me and to hand it out or to call the guests to My table, that I Myself can hold communion with them, that I Myself can feed and water them and will also truly give them that what helps them to become blessed, what gives them light and power to resist, to overcome everything what still burdens the soul and from which it is to become free during its earth life. You can indeed also receive My word at places where it is officially offered, and even then it can become the right food and the right drink for you if you earnestly desire to request My word from Me .... Then you will truly receive what serves your soul, and you will be rightly guided yourselves in your thinking that you only receive pure truth and do not let yourselves be impressed by error, which certainly can also flow in through influence of My opponent at those places where My spirit is not directly admitted to work, where the announcers of the word themselves have not yet fulfilled the prerequisites that My spirit can work in them. Nevertheless, the listener's desire is decisive as to what nourishment is offered to his soul, and he need only ever establish the close bond with Me and appeal to Me for the supply of My word, and he will also receive it .... But if the opportunity is offered to you to receive My word which is directly conveyed to earth, then let yourselves be addressed by it, refresh yourselves with the delicious good which flows from the source and know that you will recover from it and overcome all your weaknesses, for My word is blessed with My strength, it is in truth My flesh and My blood which is offered to your soul for nourishment and which you shall gratefully accept from My hand, for I want your soul to become healthy and will therefore also provide it with everything that helps it to achieve final perfection ...._>Amen

Why is God speaking to people? ....

B.D. 8568 from July 24th 1963, taken from Book No. 90

Consider, you humans, what it means when your God and Creator draws close to you in order to speak to you Himself, for thereby He must be pursuing a goal which you are unable to grasp in its full depth .... I bend down to you Myself in order to speak to you, thus it must be very important that you hear My Word, that you receive certain knowledge from Me because I deem the latter necessary. I don't just pass on admonitions or warning to you but try to raise your degree of realisation and provide you with instructions of how the latter can be accomplished .... First I want to remove the darkness in which you live, and thus I also want to tell you what is causing this darkness and how you can resolve it, I want to enlighten you because the darkness is a wretched state for you given that in darkness you cannot find the right path to the light of day.

You renounced all light, all realisation .... You don't know anything about Me anymore, your God and Creator Who wants to be your Father; you don't know anything about yourselves, what you were in the beginning, why you changed and for what purpose you live on earth .... And this is an ignorant state which cannot be called divine. You, however, are of divine origin, you once were perfect and thus you also were illuminated, you knew of everything, of My overwhelming love which constantly permeated you and prevented the said darkness, so that you brightly and clearly understood all correlations and possessed the knowledge which only a divine being was able to possess. You voluntarily relinquished this knowledge, the light, the realisation, and fell into the dark state .... your concepts became confused, and you were no longer able to understand anything, neither yourselves and the purpose of your existence nor the relationship with Me .... with the One from Whose strength of love you emerged .... You plunged into darkness, and the darkness will keep you imprisoned until you voluntarily desire My illumination of love again, which will also grant you a light of realisation once more.

And into this darkness My Word rings out from above .... Can you comprehend the depth of My love which wants to grant everything to you again which you once renounced of your own free will? .... Can you therefore recognise the tremendous value of My Word as the greatest gift of grace on My part which I impart to people in order to make their retransformation into love easy and possible? I Am speaking to you directly, I Am bridging the vast gulf which still exists between us and I Am sending a flow of grace from the kingdom of light onto earth, which is intended to irrigate and revitalise the extensive spiritual drought on the dark earth .... I want to change the miserable state people live in and present them with the help to find their way out of the state of darkness by sending them a beacon of light if only they are willing to accept it and allow it to illuminate their future path of earthly life, so that they will find their goal for sure, which will only ever be in the light and never in darkness .... It is a greater than great act of compassion which I bestow upon humanity that I offer those who once rejected the light of love, the same light of love again, that I send it to earth despite the fact that people don't express any desire for it apart from a few, whom I use as go-between bearers so that they will carry the light where darkness still prevails ....

Yet all people may partake in it, I don't want to withhold My gift of grace from any human being, I want to guide every single person into My sphere of light and try to illuminate him, so that he will begin to sense the correlations, think about them and then be able to be guided by the world of light, which only ever waits for a person to become accessible to their loving care .... And I will keep radiating light down to earth, for the darkness will continue to intensify before the end; but the light will shine for anyone who desires it .... He will enter the state of realisation again because I Myself will initiate him into profound knowledge, which cannot be given to him from external sources unless he accepts it from one of My messengers whom I have guided into this knowledge Myself .... I will still offer My gifts of grace to many people, and even if someone just asks for a small light, it will shine for him and guide him into truthful knowledge which will also make him happy .... For I will still pour out an abundance of My gifts of love before the end, and anyone of good will can still change his unsatisfactory state until the end, he can accept light and increase it himself through a life of love, and he will not have to fear the end once he knows the purpose and goal of his earthly life and then also consciously strives towards this goal .... For then his will shall have made the right decision, he will want to return to Me and thus will also safely reach his goal ....

Amen

Transforming power into creations ....

B.D. 8569 from July 25th 1963, taken from Book No. 90

All I-conscious beingness, which had fallen away from Me, had to be dissolved, for as beings they no longer fulfilled their purpose which I had assigned to them, instead they would have worked against Me if they had still been capable of doing so .... However, they rejected My strength of love which would have enabled them to continue their activity .... And so they hardened within themselves, which is why I dissolved them into countless little particles, thus reshaped the power once emitted as 'being' into creations of a different kind, which were now at the bottom of the reason that beingness in other deformations. When you now look at the works of creation around you, then know that they all hold the fallen spiritual, which did not want to serve Me according to My will and now serves in the state of compulsion, i.e. is caused to its activity by natural law. Because every earthly work of creation has its purpose and its destiny; it serves for the coming into being or the preservation of again other works of creation, as this My love and wisdom recognized as purposeful and suitable to bring the spiritual to maturity, which is hidden in them. The former I-conscious beingness in free will resisted the illumination of My love power, and therefore it also resisted all work in My will. It lost the I-consciousness because it was dissolved into its original substance, into the power, which is now again recognizable in all works of creation .... For all power, which flowed out of Me, as the original source of power, must become effective according to My will .... I will know how to prevent an activity against My will and therefore I placed the fallen being into a state where it thus became effective in My will insofar as that it had to serve and thereby its ascent development was also guaranteed, which is the purpose and aim of every work of creation: to bring the spiritual substances bound in it to maturity until all dissolved substances have gathered again and become the self-aware being again as which I once created it ..... in order to then live on earth as a human being again with the aim and purpose to completely integrate itself into My will and thus to find unification with Me .... In the stage as a human being the being is self-aware again, and it now also experiences My will, which it only needs to comply with in order to also reach the final aim .... the union with Me, for My will only demands a way of life in love .... My will is that the being transforms all self-love, which adheres to it as inherited evil of My adversary, into unselfish neighbourly love .... My will is only a transformation of its being, which is devoid of all love, to love for Me and for the neighbour .... The being must inevitably want to accept the love again which once rejected it, only then can it return to Me and be accepted as My child into My kingdom of light and glory .... Only then has the process of return, which every fallen being has to complete, been successful, and the being has returned to Me into its father's house .... When you know about the actual meaning and purpose of earthly life then you will also make an effort to fulfil My will, and you will also be aware of the responsibility of earthly life as a human being .... You will also desire to experience more, for the desire for light will be awakened in you as soon as you just don't resist My illumination of love, which can always take place when the human being turns to Me in thought, in prayer or in activity of love .... For he is to prove his will turned towards Me during earthly life in order to testify to his conscious return to Me .... This last decision of will on earth is demanded of man because he is now again the I-conscious being, which once directed his will wrongly, and he now must openly announce the change of his will to be able to be taken up again into his old child rights, to be able to be illuminated again by Me with My love, as it was in the beginning .... Because now the being will also utilize the love power again in My will .... It will be active in the spiritual kingdom creating and shaping, and it will never ever loosen the bond with Me because its love towards Me has become so powerful that it fills it completely .... You are only to receive knowledge again and again about what you were, what you are and what you are to become .... Because this alone establishes your purpose of earth life, and if you deal with such knowledge, then you also live your earth existence consciously. And this is what I aim at through My direct address from above, that you do not pass through your earthly life indifferently and completely disregard purpose and aim, and I will also never cease to impart knowledge about this to you humans so that you should also recognize Me Myself and you now also consciously approach Me and thereby pass your last test of earthly life .... so that you will finally return to Me and be happy again, as you were in the beginning ...._>Amen

God's blessing rests on vineyard work ....

B.D. 8570 from July 26th 1963, taken from Book No. 90

I want to smooth the ways for you in every way that you recognize by it how important your work is for Me and My kingdom. You are never to believe that I do not value this work enough, because I alone can judge it, and truly, you can achieve much and do Me and also the souls an exceedingly great service, which you supply to Me. For you humans it only ever seems important what results in earthly success, what is visible or tangible to you, what you achieve in terms of honour and fame, in terms of human prestige. But spiritual activity is paid little attention to because its successes cannot be seen; they again can only be recognized and pursued by spiritually awakened men. But you men only live on earth for the sake of one aim, to spiritualize yourselves, to help your soul to a high degree of maturity, and that is why that alone is important for you, what has the spiritual kingdom as aim, and every vineyard worker contributes to bring Me and My kingdom closer to men, to put the right aim before their eyes and to move men themselves to strive for Me and My kingdom. And for this I bless them, for I need co-workers on earth, I need people who present My divine teaching of love to their fellow human beings in My stead, who encourage them to fulfil My will, who draw their attention to their earthly task and who spiritually advise and help them to comply with their earthly task .... I need people who voluntarily offer themselves to Me for this cooperation, whom I can then train again to become right teachers, for people must be offered purest spiritual knowledge in a natural way, and My servants must therefore receive this spiritual knowledge from Me Myself and pass it on .... People need teachings which correspond to the truth .... which I alone can impart to them alone .... For this reason I will incessantly seek to convey My word to earth and bless everyone who voluntarily opens himself to Me, who allows himself to be taught by Me directly, who thinks through and lives out My word himself and stands up for it ever more convincingly .... For I will never leave people without help during their earthly progress, I will always provide them with what they need so that their earthly progress will be successful. But I can only rarely have a direct effect because people do not establish a direct bond with Me .... therefore I must seek through mediators to achieve that they listen to Me, and these mediators have a beautiful task:... to speak in My stead and to convey to people everything I want to say .... Then they are enabled to do so because I Myself address them and then they only ever need to pass on on My behalf what they have heard from Me. I Myself impart spiritual knowledge to them, which will make them highly happy themselves, and they can now work with this spiritual knowledge by letting everyone participate who crosses their path. They will be provided by Me with spiritual wealth, which they can use exceedingly successfully, which is for their own salvation and which gives them the possibility to give much enlightenment to men, who walk along in spiritual darkness, who need a light, which enlightens their way .... And I truly do not think of you meagrely .... Everything you desire to know will be supplied to you, and no-one need go empty-handed who asks Me for spiritual gifts .... But the supply to mankind can always only happen through a servant devoted to Me, who fulfils all prerequisites, which allow the working of the spirit in him and who is prepared to hand out the spiritual good in My stead, which is imparted to him by Me myself. But since I know how necessary it is that men are instructed, I also accept every worker in My vineyard, who offers himself voluntarily to Me for service, and I assign his activity to him .... And truly, he will do greater work than any worldly man, and whether this one can also record unusual earthly successes .... These will not be able to outweigh the success, which grows for a soul, which takes the spiritual way and always only seeks to reach its earth life purpose .... that it matures and establishes the bond with Me, which alone secures perfection for it. Again and again I must make the importance of your task clear to you because I want you to put it before every earthly activity, that you yourselves recognize it as urgent in view of the approaching end where all earthly successes will pass away and only that will remain which you have acquired for yourselves in spiritual treasures. And you can all receive these spiritual treasures in abundance, for no limit is set by Me, you can constantly receive and therefore also constantly hand them out to everyone who asks for them .... For I know people's hearts and will also always consider them according to their desire .... I will supply you with people who are eager for spiritual treasures .... And no-one will need to hunger and starve who desires to be fed by Me, and you, My servants, are to serve Me and be eager in your work for Me and My kingdom because this work is urgent and cannot be done by every person ...._>Amen

Purpose of earthly existence as a human being ....

B.D. 8571 from July 27th 1963, taken from Book No. 90

Consider your human existence purely as a brief chapter of an infinitely long period of development which, however, is of immense importance, because during this short time you have to make your decision of will which determines your fate in eternity .... For you can bring this process of development to a conclusion; but you can also prolong it again for an infinitely long time which signifies beatitude or agony for your soul .... the human being's real Self .... thus you yourselves make this decision as a human being. You humans do not spend much thought on it, but the time of your earthly life passes by quickly and then its result will take effect .... Time and again you are informed of it and yet you pay little attention to what you are told or you would live consciously and make an effort to strive for the right goal. But then you must also believe in a God and Creator to Whom you owe your existence, and by making contact with Him you will also receive the strength to live your life according to His will. You must be aware of this God and Creator in order to submit yourselves to Him and His will .... And you must know the reason for your existence as a human being .... in order to live expediently on earth .... i.e., to reach the goal on account of which you live on earth .... You will not be kept in ignorance, time and time again God's will shall be proclaimed to you, no matter in what manner it will happen. For God speaks to people, He addresses them directly as soon as the conditions for it have been fulfilled .... Or He will enlighten a person through mediators .... Yet He will never leave people without knowledge about His will, since this knowledge enables them to live their earthly life correctly and thus complete their development while they are living on earth. However, they can also keep a closed mind to every explanation; they can distance themselves from God, become disbelievers and refuse to accept any deeper reasons for living on earth. They can merely deem themselves as inhabitants of a creation, whose life is purely an end in itself, and only deal with their life from this point of view .... Then they do not accept God's will either, Who requires a life of love, but their own will predominates, which is purely based on selfish love, which only would like to provide itself with the greatest possible pleasure and will only ever consider itself but never its fellow human being .... A person like that is thinking completely wrongly, and unless he changes he will never ever reach his goal on earth .... He will live his earthly life in vain and prepare a dreadful fate for his soul .... But neither can he be prevented from it since he has free will and he will not be deprived in any way either as far as the recognition of truth is concerned, since he will always receive it in some form or other, he need only form the right opinion of it and his soul will derive the right benefit too.

However, precisely this forming of an opinion is omitted by him, he will be satisfied with that which he can comprehend with his earthly senses .... the world and its possessions .... and he will let himself be captured by them and never take a step forward in his development because every condition is missing for it, such as love and heartfelt contact with God, through which he could attain inner realisation and which testify to his correctly focussed will .... But the human being's will is free and also has to be free during his life on earth so that he can make a decision and once again have the opportunity to enter his original state and to become as he had been in the beginning .... For he would never be able to attain supreme beatitude were he to remain an unfree being and unable to voluntarily take the path to God, Who will guarantee this utmost bliss .... Everything that came forth from Him as a free being must remain in this freedom and desire to reach Him, then it will also be and remain very happy without limitation .... God's created beings once forfeited this freedom and were in a wretched state which lasted for eternities, yet one day God will return this freedom to them but only for the purpose of their final return to Him .... for the purpose of making a free decision for or against Him .... nevertheless, time and again the human being's attention will be drawn to the meaning and purpose of earthly existence. And one day he will also have to justify himself, because every person will sooner or later be informed of the fact that he only lives on earth for the sake of a purpose .... And anyone who seriously tries to ascertain this purpose will also receive enlightenment, in everything that happens to him he will be able to discover a wise guidance, then he will also begin to realise the purpose of his earthly life and endeavour to live up to it, he will live responsibly and soon learn to recognise and love his God and Creator .... Then he will truly not live his earthly life in vain, he will inwardly mature and soon attain the right goal: his union with God through love .... He will recognise the significance of life on earth and do whatever it takes in order to bring one period of development to conclusion, so that he will be released from every physical form, from every chain, and be able to enter the kingdom of light and beatitude when his hour has come ....

Amen

God corrects misguided teachings ....

B.D. 8572 from July 28th 1963, taken from Book No. 90

I only ever merely want to clarify your misconceptions and offer you the purest truth instead, and for that reason I speak to you time and again .... And all I ask of you is the serious desire for truth, and the will to think correctly and to be able to distinguish between truth and falsehood .... Then the communication from above can come about, and then you humans will live in the light too. However, there is not much will for truth, thus My adversary has great power, he can offer inaccuracies which will not be recognized as such. Subsequently the human will itself decides to what extend it experiences the right thoughts, the truth. He should always approach Me Myself in order to receive the purest truth, for even if he is not yet able to hear My Words directly I will nevertheless convey them to him through My messengers when I recognize his sincere will and desire for the pure truth. Because the adversary will constantly want to insert inaccuracies and also deceive those people who think they have true spiritual knowledge, which he will corrupt again and again unless acute care is taken to prevent it. Therefore you cannot be observant (careful) enough, you cannot ask Me often enough for the truth. Because I Am always willing to transmit the purest spiritual knowledge to you .... to let living water flow to you, which is still unpolluted from all additions, and which consequently also helps to heal your soul.

Hence you should draw from the source .... and even then you should make sure that the pure, healthy living water does not get polluted and come to you in a different condition than it is supplied at the source .... My adversary uses many methods to pollute My pure Word and people do not notice it .... They unhesitatingly comply with him when he attempts to induce them to make changes or alleged improvements, thus offering him the opportunity to scatter it with false seeds which will grow and then considerably reduce its value, providing the error is not recognized and corrected in time. It is therefore very important for My Word to be proclaimed from above time and again, because imperfect human beings will not leave anything unchanged. Hence they will always add human knowledge to a supremely perfect spiritual treasure as well, they will also intellectually move in the wrong direction and give explanations which no longer correspond to the truth. And these in turn can only ever be confronted by the pure truth, which flows from Me directly to earth again when I consider it necessary to correct errors and to highlight the adversary’s actions ....

And depending on the individual’s desire for truth he will also respond to it, he will accept pure truth if he genuinely wants it, or he will indifferently hold on to erroneous thoughts, but to his own disadvantage .... Because as soon as shadows creep in I will always bring light and will therefore not cease to speak directly from above. Because people will not cease to let themselves be influenced by My adversary either and make changes to the spiritual truth which initially came from Me Myself .... Time and again they will use their own thoughts, their intellectual reasoning, and this can be controlled by My adversary, so that error creeps into a spiritual truth which had originated from Me .... And for the sake of humanity’s freedom of will I do not prevent it but I will always make sure that those who want truth shall also receive it again in its purest form. Hence you should never discard spiritual facts which had originated from Me, but rather you should make sure they remain unaltered and compare them with My messages, which will come to you directly again ....

Because I know why I speak to you time after time, I know when it is necessary for Me to intervene in order to clarify misconceptions which .... if only slightly .... will continue to result in new errors .... and thus, since it originates from him, the adversary has to be fought. The human being himself will always reject error once his spirit is awake, but those who have not yet delved into spiritual knowledge to discern every error will accept it, and this is comparable to a well where the water, instead of quenching your thirst, causes you damage instead. Error originates from the adversary and can never result in a healing effect for the soul .... However, if you can receive the living water directly from the source you are protected from bad influence, then My Word will come to you in all its strength and guarantee you purest truth, and then you can indeed believe everything because you truly cannot receive anything untrue from Me .... But you should always be watchful and realise that My adversary will use every opportunity to slip in wherever he can in order to confuse people .... And even if he only succeeds in pushing people onto a different train of thought, causing them to make false assumptions which do not correspond to the truth and which thus result in darkness .... as a development of thought which cannot be penetrated by light. Then ask Me Myself for enlightenment, for clarification, and truly, I will do so because I want you to live in truth, for only truth is light, and only through truth can you become blessed ....

Amen

Spiritualisation of soul and body .... What is the physical body? ....

B.D. 8573 from July 28th 1963, taken from Book No. 90

I will answer your every question in a way that it is comprehensible to you, even if you are as yet incapable of understanding the most profound correlations because of your low maturity of soul. Nevertheless you will not be left in the dark about problems which occupy you and you are unable to solve yourselves. And you shall be enlightened as soon as you desire light: The reconstruction of the human soul happened in the same way as the disintegration of the being took place after its apostasy from Me, after the solidification of its substance .... The individual tiny particles, having gone through the works of creation for the purpose of maturing, were gathered again, the mineral, plant and animal world released all particles belonging to a fallen being again and these united in the end and now constitute the human soul .... Hence this soul is the once fallen original spirit which shall return to Me, to its origin, when it passes the final test of will in earthly life, which necessitates its free will .... This soul embodies itself in a cover of flesh, in a material body, and this consists again of countless spiritual substances which are still at the beginning of their higher development .... For all matter is spiritual substance at the start of its development, which already shelters more mature spirits within which must be of service and thereby mature fully .... Matter itself has a far longer path ahead of itself until it, too, can embody itself as a 'soul' .... Yet the time every spiritual substance takes to travel the path can differ considerably .... Spiritual substance within matter can mature faster, but matter itself can also be dissolved quicker if it complies with its serving function without resistance .... if the resistance of the bound spirit within matter subsides quickly and it is helpful .... This is the case if it is in surroundings where there is a recognisable and conscious striving towards Me, which has a beneficial effect on all spiritual substance and also shortens its path of development because it is often permitted to be of service.

Understand it like this: Where an inclination for matter still exists, where no spiritual striving is noticeable, that is where matter is being hoarded, it is given little opportunity to serve and this extends the state of constraint in this material item .... just as it can be considerably shortened if the human being does not strive to increase his earthly possessions and thus constantly gives the few material possessions he owns the opportunity to be of service .... Then the human being himself, through his attitude towards Me and matter, contributes towards a faster dissolution of the latter and the bound spiritual substance therein will be able to change its external form far more often and faster and also reach the stage when all particles have come together again sooner and the embodiment as a human soul can take place. Even the soul's earthly-physical cover is still consolidated matter whose substance belongs to a once-fallen original spirit .... which likewise shall pass the final test of will as a soul on earth one day .... If, during earthly life, a person succeeds in spiritualising his body of flesh simultaneously with his soul .... which, admittedly, only happens rarely but is nevertheless possible .... then its spiritual substances will join the soul and attain a certain state of spiritual maturity, so that the beings of light, which take care of the fallen spirits, will also influence the spiritual substance bound within the form such that it will quickly reach full maturity, because a soul which achieves such a spiritualisation together with the body, emanates extraordinary strength on all substances of a soul which still has to go through the process of development .... Thus the soul takes its spiritual body along into the spiritual kingdom and emanates these spiritualised substances again as strength to the original being they belong to, and this being will travel its process of development in a far shorter time, because the fully mature spirit will also prevent a relapse when the soul lives on earth as a human being .... For the body's substances have been redeemed by its indwelling soul and can never experience a relapse again .... Instead, they will also exert influence on the soul in the form of strength and drive the latter into increased spiritual striving .... this is why the human being should consider it a very great task to spiritualise his body as well .... why the human being should do everything in order to achieve this spiritualisation by not only helping his own soul but also the soul whose substances served him as a material cover during his life on earth ....

Earthly matter will fade away when the hour of death has come .... A spiritualised body, however, joins the soul and flows again as strength to that original spirit to which it belongs, so that the latter will noticeably feel the help and, while in the human stage, can never fall back into the abyss because the already spiritualised substances prevent it from doing so .... Through physical suffering and pain you can still help many of its still immature substances to mature fully .... You can still make small sacrifices of atonement for these spiritual beings if you, in a conscious state, humbly bear the suffering which is indeed caused by the body's immature substances but which, through your love for everything that is still unredeemed and your willingness to help, contributes towards the body's spiritualisation. Then you will not only attain your own soul's maturity but you will also help another original spirit to mature faster if you redeem everything unspiritual in you, which still belongs to My adversary, through your love and your will to help wherever it is possible .... If this redemption does not take place the body will go its natural course by dissolving and decaying and serving the untold number of tiniest living organisms again to grow and then its path will be much longer, but even these substances will gather again one day and the final embodiment in a form on this earth will take place. Always remember that matter is spiritual substance at the beginning of its development which already shelters more matured spirit within itself, in order to enable the latter to be of service, by means of which everything spiritual ascends.

You must differentiate between body and soul, and then it will be easier for you to understand the purpose and reason of physical suffering and pain and why Jesus' path to the cross is presented to you humans, Whom you should follow .... For He carried the sins for you humans, His soul was entirely without sin and yet He suffered indescribably .... And if you suffer, then consider that you, too, should be willing to make a sacrifice for that spiritual substance which serves you as an external form so that you will attain perfection .... You can also considerably shorten its path of suffering, and your love should induce you to provide redeeming help for everything that has become sinful ....

Amen

Spiritualisation of Jesus' body ....

B.D. 8574 from July 29th 1963, taken from Book No. 90

The body of Jesus Christ, which rose from the dead entirely spiritualised and continued to exist as a visible cover for Myself in order to be and eternally remain a visible God for My created beings is, however, an exception .... Jesus' body was indeed physical matter as well, yet it was created by divine strength .... The substances His biological mother gave birth to were likewise of a spiritual nature which adjusted their demands, cravings as well as weaknesses to their environment, which were therefore so influenced by their physical surrounding that the body's desire was just as inclined as that of other people .... that the body reacted to all external temptations .... but as a result of Jesus' willpower resisted them time and again .... And this necessitated a constant battle, it necessitated a constant willingness to act with love, because Jesus also wanted to redeem all substances which, due to His human existence, made contact with His soul but which did not belong to another fallen original spirit. Instead, it had been an act of creation by Me for which I had chosen a person capable of giving birth to a human being in God-intended order, who thus carried the substances within which thus also formed the physical shell for Him .... which were also meant to be redeemed yet stay with the soul sheltering within .... Do understand: Jesus' body and the body of Mary were created in all purity and without sin .... but they took abode in a sinful world and therefore were not spared the temptations of this world .... They had to prove themselves in it, they had to fight an even harder battle against such temptations because My adversary was still able to express himself through matter, because he had the opportunity to influence a pure soul through everything surrounding it and his activity consisted of the manifold temptations which every person is subject to and which is every person's task to fight against ....

This will still be incomprehensible to you humans: nevertheless, you may always believe that the complete spiritualisation of Jesus' body as well as Mary's succeeded, but that Jesus was the only being Who took His body along into the spiritual kingdom and retained it, because I wanted to become a visible God for all My created beings and that the complete unity of body and soul took place, which can never be undone again. The fact the many unredeemed spiritual substances clung to Jesus' soul and besieged it is also certain and that Jesus battle against these forces of darkness was very tough is also constantly emphasised, for on orders of My adversary these forces tried to make Him fall. And thus Jesus also had to fight against temptations which did not arise from His own body but were caused by the said dark force which availed itself of everything externally surrounding Jesus the man in order to tempt Him, and thus He had to suffer incredibly and fight against all kinds of these pressures despite His pure and sinless body. However, He redeemed many immature substances, which then were also permitted to fully mature as a human being on earth .... and these people were subsequently often recognisable by their obvious attitude towards Jesus and a way of life which followed Him .... It must never be assumed that His struggle was an easier one because of His pure body without sin, for enough immature substances adhered to His soul which He was not allowed to simply shake off but which He wanted to redeem as well in order to help them on their further path of development. But the fact that His own body in its entirely spiritual state also became and remained part of the soul must be equally credible to you human, for My dwelling in a human being presupposed all these unusual conditions, just as a purely spiritual conception and an unusual event at birth revealed divine intervention .... Nevertheless, Jesus was a human, and His battle as well as the spiritualisation of all bodily substances occurred in the same way as with all other humans: love and suffering accomplished it .... and love and suffering will be necessary time and again for the human being's complete spiritualisation on earth ....

Explanation of matter and its task ....

B.D. 8575 from July 31th 1963, taken from Book No. 90

All matter is solidified spirit .... And thus the whole earthly-material world consists of My once emanated spiritual strength which initially did not fulfil its purpose since it was not forced to do so but which, according to eternal law, should become active and therefore was reshaped into manifold kinds of creation whose function was subject to natural law and had to be fulfilled in the law of compulsion. Through its lawful completion of activity the spiritual substance acquires a continually higher degree of development, and thus creation is fundamentally spiritual substance in the most varied degrees of development .... The development proceeds from the hardest rock, as plant or animal up to the human being and is guaranteed by the constantly serving function of every single work of creation. Time after time matter will be dissolved again, that is, the spiritual substance constantly changes its external form and receives another, more advanced form and thus gradually matures until the last stage, when it may embody itself as a human being in order to release itself, again by means of useful activity, from the final form on this earth.

Physical shells or external forms will always shelter more mature spiritual substances within themselves and serve them to mature .... The shells themselves will always be dissolved again, and the spiritual substances within will likewise unite with equally mature substances and accept their next forms until all the strength, which was originally emanated as a 'being', has gathered again and exists in its original composition again yet devoid of all love, which it once no longer wanted to accept from Me. This love is then added by Me as a gift of grace in the form of a tiny spark to the original spirit who then walks across earth as the human being's soul, and then he will be able to attain perfection again, he will be able to become as perfect again as he was when he first originated from Me, and then the ultimate goal I had in mind when I created the beings will have been achieved ....

But it takes an infinitely long time for the former being to travel the path through the creations of earth, for what is visible to you as matter needed long periods of time for its transformation already, since the initially hard matter, the world of rocks, does not easily let go of the spiritual substances. If lawful natural influences did not cause a dissolution of the hard external shape it could take eternities until a slight loosening occurs, until the world of rocks shows a small flicker of life in so far as that it changes within itself or falls apart and releases the constrained spiritual substance, which will then be bound again in a lighter form. And thus the form will be ever easier to dissolve, and all works of creation provide the spiritual substances with the opportunity to mature in them thereby gradually bringing this initially completely hardened, lifeless spirit to life .... The succession of external shapes proceeds ever more rapidly, and a continuous cycle of life and death, of development and disintegration can be observed throughout creation .... Yet the spirit's process of development takes an infinitely long time which comes to an end as a human being on earth. The fact that every external form is spiritual substance at the beginning of its development, and the fact that every external form, in turn, shelters spiritual substances within itself which have already acquired a higher degree of maturity and are meant to mature further within the form, has to be kept apart .... And thus the external shell need never be rated as highly as the spiritual substance that shelters within it, the dissolution of the external form will always be an act of liberation for the captive spirit therein and simultaneously signify a degree of higher development for the matter which, as external form, envelopes the substances of soul. These covers still need a long time until they, too, complete their final earthly progress as part of a soul. Yet the more willingly such a shell carries out its 'service' the faster it will progress, but always within lawful order. And thus, even the final external cover .... the human body .... has a very significant task, the fulfilment of which can also enable the body's own intrinsic spiritual substances to rapidly progress in their development .... if the body totally complies with the soul's demands it can thus also be spiritualised during its earthly life, which could mean a shortened earthly progress for a fallen original spirit, whose body's exceptional service and suffering contributes towards the original spirit's return to Me, when he travels the path across earth as a human being and no longer needs to fear a new descent into the abyss because these already matured substances assure him certain completion .... The knowledge of this can motivate you to fully consciously strive for the body's spiritualization during its earthly life and thus lead a way of life which completely corresponds to the commandments of love, for love is the way which leads to complete spiritualization of the body ....

Amen

The meaning of earthly life .... Kind-hearted activity ....

B.D. 8576 from July 31th 1963, taken from Book No. 90

Time and again I want to inform you of the circumstances relating to your process of earthly life as a human being, because this knowledge makes you live your life responsibly, as soon as you believe in it. It can also be presented to you and met by complete unbelief, yet during your earthly life you will repeatedly get into situations when you will reflect on the purpose of your existence, and then such thoughts will indeed arise in you time and again and you will remember the conversations which were intended to provide you with an explanation. And every thinking person will also reflect on it and, depending on his will, come to the right conclusion. I simply don't want the human being merely to deal with worldly issues but I want him to drift into an area which is unverifiable and yet cannot be denied, if it is seriously thought about .... For only if the human being travels this path intellectually will his course of life be successful for his soul, the maturing of which is the meaning and purpose of earthly life.

Hence it is essential for the human being to be repeatedly reminded of the fact that he is not just living on earth for the sake of acquiring an outwardly good living standard and riches .... Although by and large he will not want to believe it nor can he be forced into believing it but he will nevertheless dwell on it occasionally and then also be able to change his mind, so that he will intellectually occupy himself more with the realm which cannot be proven to him. And then it will depend on his general way of life whether he will become a believer, for as soon as he does not disregard kind-hearted activity, as soon as he is prepared to help and is of good will, he will also learn to believe and advance in his development. This is why fellow human beings shall only ever just be encouraged to carry out deeds of love, which can often already be achieved by being a good example .... Then unbelief will also diminish, for love will invariably awaken a living faith. Hence it is absolutely necessary to live a life of love in order to attain faith ....

Love between people, however, has grown cold and hearts will have to be touched in order to become willing to love, for every human being has the ability to love, since I instilled in him a tiny spark of My spirit for his earthly life .... And the willingness to love can, in turn, only be aroused by great adversity, by serious strokes of fate affecting people where one person depends on the other and a willingness to help comes to the fore, providing a person is not entirely hardened and therefore My adversary's follower, who subsequently will be hopelessly lost when the time for the maturing of his soul comes to an end. Earthly life is at a standstill without love, the soul cannot gain anything and remains in its previous state, if it doesn't descend even further into the abyss from which it had already worked its way up and just had to cover the final ascent. Without love it cannot move one step forward, and no human being can be forced to love, it is a matter of free will but the only option to reach the goal on earth for the soul to become perfect and change into its fundamental nature again.

And so the divine teaching of love has to be proclaimed time and again, people's attention must be drawn to the commandments of love for God and other people, time and again they have to be touched by adversity and misery so that their spark of love will ignite and turn into a bright glow. And this is why I keep educating teachers for Myself on earth who preach love to their fellow human beings, who proclaim My will to them and try to introduce them to the kind of knowledge which can only be gained through living a life of love .... This is why I send the disciples into the world again during the last days, so that they will proclaim My Gospel which I convey to earth Myself .... Time and again I work visibly and remarkably in order to be believed, because people have greatly distanced themselves from belief already and no longer visit the places where My Word is proclaimed, and because even there My Word has lost its strength if the preachers of My Word are not spiritually awakened .... People shall come alive, they shall learn to gain a living faith, because only then will they strive towards Me and learn to love Me and then also advance in their development .... Without love, however, they will achieve nothing on earth .... No matter what is done, it always has to be based on love or they will be dead works .... You humans should know all this and question the motives of what you say, do and think .... And only if you are urged by love will everything you think, speak and do be good before My eyes and gain you a higher degree of maturity .... But everything is futile without love .... For you only live on earth for the sake of changing your life into a life of love, and only this is and will remain your goal, so that through love you will unite with Me, the Eternal Love Himself ....

Amen

God offers a gift of grace of inestimable value ....

B.D. 8577 from August 1st 1963, taken from Book No. 90

You hear the divine word directly from above .... Your God and creator speaks to you Himself, so that you learn about His will, so that a small light is lighted for you, in the light of which you can go your earth way and reach the right destination .... So you will be informed through His direct address about Him Himself and His nature and about meaning and purpose of your earth walk. And when you just receive a little light about it, you already stand in a special favour; you receive a gift from your God and creator, which you once had voluntarily rejected. But He knows it that without this His address, without the supply of a light from above, there is no possibility for you to return to Him, from Whom you once had gone out. But He does not want to know you separated from Him for ever, and that is why His love and favour gives itself to you again. He offers you a gift of favour, which you men are not able to appreciate at all, but He demands of you that you accept this gift thankfully and use it, so that it also becomes effective in you. He addresses you, but also demands open hearts, which receive and process His word, and then you will also be radiated through by power and be able to fulfil the will of God, which consists of you men leading a love life. His address has an effect as power and therefore must touch a man so that he feels urged to do something, because the power does not remain inactive .... And what he now does will be determined by love, because God Himself has begotten a love spark into him, and therefore this love spark again urges to love work, and man will now also fulfil the divine love commandments; he will turn towards his neighbour; it will urge him inwardly to do good to him, because the love power in him wants to become active, as it is original law from eternity. Therefore the sin of the rejection of divine love was so serious that it brought about the fall of spirits, that the beings now became incapable of activity because the power out of God no longer flowed through them and they slowly hardened in themselves, therefore became completely lifeless. When now God Himself addresses men, He once sends them the knowledge about it, and for the other time He also gives them again the power with the supply of the word to be able to become active. But this is spiritual power, which also only has a spiritual effect. work of love is spiritual work, but also the life power of man can be used for the acquiring of spiritual power when man's acting keeps to the will of God, when he does what God demands of him, when he carries out works of love, therefore not only uses his life power for the well-being of the body or for the increase of earthly goods, but when he makes an effort to fulfil the will of God, which demands (teaches?) love ..... Then he will additionally be provided with spiritual power, and he will be able to put his will into action, he will use the power and be active according to God's will .... He will work on his soul, which always only comes to maturity through work in unselfish neighbourly love, for the purpose of which it dwells on earth .... That is why the word from above is a gift of grace of inestimable value .... God Himself radiates His love down to earth, and man only needs to open his heart willingly, i.e., he only needs to request power and favour from him with will turned towards God, then he opens his heart, and love can flow towards him unlimitedly. And this love will now drive him into activity, he will never ever let his earthly life pass by uselessly, he will fulfil the purpose of earthly life and change his nature into love himself, which is self-love in the beginning and shall change into unselfish neighbourly love .... Anyone who allows himself to be addressed directly by God will also receive strength directly from Him .... His earthly life will not be an idle one, for he is now also united with God through his will turned towards Him. And every person should strive for this bond; he should first listen to His word and think about it, and if only his inner resistance has subsided, the word will also touch him and make him long for further address, and then it will also no longer remain without effect, and an activity of love .... even if only slight at first, will also set in, which, however, will soon increase because this results in the strength with which God has blessed His word. Therefore the divine word cannot remain ineffective .... unless the listener is still completely under the control of God's adversary, so that he senses neither the effect of strength nor any light, but then every effort to bring the human being to faith in God and in the strength of love is also hopeless .... But where the resistance has already subsided, also the divine word, which is directly directed from above to earth, will have an obvious effect .... It will change man in his nature .... it will urge love, and love will have an effect again as strength and bring maturity to the soul for the purpose of which the human being walks across earth .... He will reach his aim as soon as he only lets himself be touched by God's radiation, as soon as he listens to His word without resistance, moves it in his heart and lives accordingly .... Then he will accomplish his change of nature, which is the purpose and aim of earthly life as a human being ...._>Amen

Recognizing the deficiency and opening the heart ....

B.D. 8578 from August 2nd 1963, taken from Book No. 90

And even if heaven opens itself to you and lets its ray of light and love fall to earth, you men also still avoid its bright shine and withdraw into darkness, which I would like to radiate through with brightest light. And the light loses its effect where it meets resistance .... So also My word will be without power where it is opposed .... You men will not recognize it as address of your God and father from eternity, because you do not desire to be addressed by Me, because you still languish in the chains of him, who wants to oust Me out of your consciousness. But you should nevertheless seriously ask yourselves whether you feel completely happy in your present state, for you cannot deny the shortcomings and adversities which again and again burden you, and you will also never look forward to the future with confidence; it will always weigh upon you like a nightmare what fate you will meet, be it on earth or also after your death, because you possess no light about this either and although you are not able to believe in a survival you also do not know exactly whether you will live again .... nor do you know exactly whether your existence will end with earthly death .... Everything lies before you in uncertainty, and also your earth life itself can still change and bring you disastrous events, because you do not have your fate in your own hand. And that is why you would only think and act wisely if you take everything into consideration which is supplied to you in spiritual knowledge .... if you would not thoughtlessly reject everything but take a stand on it .... Step out of the darkness of the night and enter into My light of love, and it will truly not be your disadvantage .... Believe above all that you have emerged from a power, which has not created you in that defective state, but in which you are, when you walk as man over the earth. Believe that this power wants to make you happy because It loves you, otherwise you would not have been created by It, and therefore accept from It what It offers you in Its love: light and power, which you do not possess and therefore also cannot be happy. And do not be deceived by the awareness to possess life power and to be able to use it for earthly well-being; but also this life power can be taken from you from today to tomorrow by that power, and then you no longer live on this earth, but you are also not gone in your being .... your actual self lives on, only in a very deficient state, if you have not taken care on earth that it has attained light and power .... And when a ray of light from above reaches you, do not leave it unheeded, but open yourselves and let it radiate into yourselves .... Take note of My word, through which I Myself light a light for you, in which you will feel well and then also want to increase the light yourselves, because it will make you happy when you have stepped out of darkness and are hit by My love light ray, which filled you in the beginning and made you unimaginably happy. Seek to regain what you have lost through your own fault. It is available to you at any time; I do not withhold My ray of love light from you; I only wait that your heart opens and lets My love radiate in ready to receive, which will now also make you happy again, and you no longer want to miss it. My love pursues you and will also never give you up, and again and again I will speak to you and therefore send My love ray to earth, but I cannot force you to accept it; I can only constantly woo you and your love and give you proofs of My being and My union with you, but it is up to you whether you want to recognize Me when I step into your way, when My love expresses itself towards you .... The light shines brightly and radiantly .... But who closes his eyes and consciously turns towards darkness, he feels nothing of the benefit of light, and for him it shines in vain .... But his unhappy, deficient state does not disappear either; already as a human being he will never find fulfilment of his longing, and after his bodily death his soul will have to endure agonies when it realizes that it left its earthly life unused and yet it could have achieved much .... It would be possible for every human being to come from the darkness of night to the light of day during earthly life .... No man needed to fear darkness because he can (could) leave it at any time and turn towards the light, which constantly radiates down to earth in form of My word, which is always My love emanation out of the spiritual kingdom, which cannot be replaced by anything else, which alone gives light and strength and therefore My word has to be listened to in the desire to reach the light through it .... Then the human being voluntarily opens his heart and lets Me Myself kindle a light in him which will never go out again, for My light is My ray of love which will never lose its illuminating power, which fills a hitherto lightless being and places it into the state of knowledge and fullest realization in which the being has been infinitely blissful from the start ...._>Amen

Free will alone is determinative ....

B.D. 8579 from August 4th 1963, taken from Book No. 90

You truly do not need to walk along in darkness of spirit; you can receive light at any time and enlightenment about everything what is still incomprehensible to you. You need not be burdened by spiritual blindness, you can become sighted and experience everything that is connected with yourselves and your existence on earth. You can also become enlightened about your God and creator, about the cause of creation and yourselves as creatures with intellect and free will .... You can get an answer to every question if only you want it, if you want to step out of darkness into the light of day .... Only your will determines the degree of knowledge you possess. Your will alone also determines the degree of light in which you walk when you pass through earthly life .... and your will alone determines your fate in eternity, which depends on your soul's degree of light .... But your will is free, it is not forced on the part of a spiritual power, neither for good nor for evil .... You alone determine it, and thus you also know what immense responsibility rests upon you, in which direction you direct your will .... No other person can be held responsible for what you think, want and do on earth, but you alone have to answer for it; you alone bear the benefit or the damage of a right or wrong will. For your will is free .... But this is also proof that you were once created as divine beings, which received free will as sign of the divine exit and which also in the stage as man again helps them to reach full divinization, which the being had given away through its once fall into sin of voluntary turning away from God, but must irrevocably regain in order to be able to become happy. Free will distinguishes man from all other creatures on earth, which certainly also live, but are not conscious of themselves and which therefore always betray a stage standing below man, because only in the stage as man also free will is unmistakable, why the stage as man is to be regarded very particularly responsible and demands the whole effort that the will is directed right, i.e. turns again to Him, from Whom the being once turned away and from Whom it nevertheless started originally. As divine creature it possessed free will, and this free will also allowed a wrong direction of aim .... the being could turn away from God and turn towards the adversary of God, who also only became the adversary of God through his free will, which therefore also resulted in the spiritual blindness, total light- and cognitionlessness, in which man enters the earth .... He turned away from God and thereby fell into the darkness of spirit .... and must now, by voluntarily turning towards God, also receive His divine light of love again, in order to emerge from the state of darkness into the state of brightest light .... of knowledge about all correlations .... and now also to be blissfully happy again as in the beginning. Because only light is happiness, and exactly the state that the being itself determines through its free will in which degree of light and love it is, proves how free will must be utilized during earth life as man, where it can earn both highest happiness as also deepest damnation for the being, which goes over earth as man for the testing of its will. Because this is determined by every man himself, therefore earth life is so responsible and determines the degree of light or darkness in which man walks on earth .... And therefore everything should be done to light just a small light for the human being so that he recognizes the significance of earthly life and does everything to achieve the purpose of earthly life: the transformation of his being in free will back into the original being again, which was pure love but voluntarily gave away its love .... Man must open himself again in free will to the love radiation of God and receive that what he lacks: divine strength of love which shines through everything like a light, which illuminates the spirit and kindles a light for the human being, so that the darkness of the spirit fades away, so that the human being attains realization which makes him happy, so that God's ray of light of love can penetrate him again as it once did and he is assured of a blissful state when he has finished his walk as a human being through the earthly valley and enters the spiritual kingdom, which is his true home .... The human being should only give his free will to God and then accept from Him everything he needs in order to become blissfully happy .... And truly, he will depart from this earth richly blessed, for then he will have passed the test of will which is the purpose and aim of every human being on earth .... He has united himself with the eternal father-spirit from Whom he once took his origin, he has recognized and fulfilled the purpose and aim of his earthly life, and he will now be and remain blissfully happy forever ...._>Amen

Urgency of vineyard work - God's concern ....

B.D. 8580 from August 5th 1963, taken from Book No. 90

Trust Me that I stretch out My hand to those who want to be active for Me, that I guide them and direct everything so as it is good and promises success. You only need to hand yourselves over to Me, to present all your concerns to Me and to now let Me rule, and truly, your doing and thinking will be right and blessed by Me. Everywhere there are still people who long for a light and who send up questioning thoughts to Me out of the depth of their heart, and to now give them an answer will always be My will, but for which I now again need people who offer themselves as mediators to fulfil My will .... who therefore now receive My answer and pass it on .... It is certainly only isolated men who ask these questions, but they are to be found everywhere, and that is why My light also radiates to all sides that the shine hits them and can enlighten their hearts. I know all ways, all possibilities and therefore also know where I direct My word, which radiates to earth and is to take the way to those who desire it and know to appreciate its value. And according to the desire of My servants on earth they are also taken up to work in My vineyard .... He who demands much receives much, he who demands little can also only be given little .... But it is always about spiritual good, which I want to hand out. Because only spiritual good is a blessing for your soul. But that you also do not need to live in want earthly, that My love likewise assures you, because who wants to be active in My vineyard, he can also experience as good servant the care about his bodily welfare from his house father and therefore also carry out his activity unhindered. There are not many people who ask for a light from above .... But the few who do it are also to be illuminated by that light, which shines out of Me Myself and truly frees men from all spiritual darkness .... They are to be allowed to enter My love-current circle and experience all love-care from Me, because I do not want that men perish in the night of the spirit, I want that a bright ray shines for them, in which they recognize Me, their God and father from eternity, so that they now also take their way to Me and therefore fulfil their purpose of earth-life .... Because only for this reason they put their earth life back, that they unite with Me, from Whom they once had gone out, but separated in free will .... They are to find their way back to their origin again in order to be able to be happy. And that requires a way of life according to My will, which I therefore let announce to them through My messengers, through men, who are active on My behalf to introduce their fellowmen to My will and to explain to them the meaning and purpose of their earth life. I cannot address people Myself without exercising compulsory faith .... But you men can speak to them in My stead, what they now can believe or also not .... They are not forced but can experience greatest blessing when they listen to you because then they indirectly listen to Me Myself and My address will never remain without effect. And the short time still available to you humans is still to be used to establish the bond between you and Me, which will always guarantee your return to Me. You, My servants, you are to know how necessary your cooperation on earth is; you are to know what work of help you accomplish when you contribute that a light can be supplied to fellowmen .... Furthermore, you should know that the time still available to you humans for the work of salvation is constantly shortening .... But you are also to know that I support your work and you are never left without help, whatever it may be .... I will bless your hands' work, I will soften the hearts you address, I will take care of all your needs so that you can be active for Me unhindered, and I will also direct your thoughts in such a way that you always do what is right, that you feel it, which is conducive to the salvation of the souls of fellow human beings .... And therefore you need not fear failure, for whoever receives an office from Me will also be able to administer it, because My strength is constantly supplied to him and he is also assisted by all My messengers of light who are likewise active on My behalf .... For the spiritual hardship is great, and My concern is for all those who have not yet completely fallen prey to My adversary, to whom only a light needs to be kindled so that they will then turn to the right path which leads to Me ...._>Amen

"Hear My word ...." life force - spiritual power ....

B.D. 8581 from August 6th 1963, taken from Book No. 90

You all need power supply and constant help from My side for your earth course, because the life power, which you have as man, is not enough to perfect you on earth, if you do not increase it yourselves through supply of spiritual power, which you can acquire yourselves through love work or which you have to request from Me in prayer as gift of grace .... And you will therefore always have to be in connection with the source of power from eternity, which you therefore establish through prayer and loving activity .... Then there is no danger that you do not reach your earth life aim, because every spiritual power has an effect again in love work, and then the transformation of the being to love takes place, which is purpose and aim of earth life .... And you can increase this supply of power at any time when you consciously let yourselves be addressed by Me, when you desire to hear My word and accept it when and where this is only possible. Because My word is blessed with My power, My word is the direct love radiation for My part on My creatures, which need power and are constantly made happy by the supply of power to an extent that this contributes to increased bliss for the beings, which already stand in the light .... Because My word is the proof of most intimate connection of those beings with Me, to hear My word is also the proof that the being has entered its original state in which it stood before its falling away from Me when it heard My word and was exceedingly happy. You must constantly maintain the connection with Me, My power must constantly be able to flow through you, because in the kingdom of light this means unimagined bliss, but on earth .... as long as you are not yet perfected .... you constantly receive strength which you need to reach perfection. The life force is indeed available to every human being, but it can be used completely uselessly if the human being uses it only in the earthly-material sense .... But if you make use of the life power to work in love, then a measure of spiritual power flows to you, which lets you go the way to the kingdom of light quite safely, because you connect yourselves intimately with Me Myself through love work, I Who am eternal love, and now My divine love power can radiate through you continuously and form your being that you come closer and closer to Me, that you unite with Me again as before you turned away from Me. But every bond with Me will also earn you My address .... Because I want to prove My presence to you, My presence will also result in My address, because the father speaks with His child, because love connects both and it now also wants to express itself .... So you now have to hear Me, and what I now want to say to you, that will make you happy, because it is rich knowledge for you, because you enter into a state of brightest knowledge, as soon as I Myself can address you. And this address can also happen in a transferred way that I announce Myself to you through a person whose soul ear can clearly hear Me, and I now speak to those who show themselves worthy of My address, who live according to My will, who work in love and thereby put themselves in contact with Me .... who could also hear My address directly if they would only prepare themselves as a receiving vessel for My spirit itself .... But it is unimportant whether they hear My word directly or indirectly, because it is always the same word, which I have blessed with My power and which has an effect on the soul of a person that it must irrevocably reach perfection .... Listen to My word and know that you need it for perfection .... Always give Me the opportunity to address you so that you may receive what you still lack .... And you all still lack much until you can return to Me fully matured and be blessed .... Because the earth is not yet a kingdom of light and bliss, and as long as a soul still walks over the earth as man, it has the possibility to increase its degree of maturity, because it can also work in love unlimitedly and is again and again stimulated by My word to this love work .... Therefore I direct My word down to earth to teach man the first and most important thing: to be unselfishly active in love and to kindle a bright light in oneself through love activity, which will shine brighter and brighter and spread out so that brightest knowledge .... deepest truthful knowledge .... is the result of a right love life which leads to the final union with Me and also earns the being the bliss it once voluntarily gave up but will also irrevocably regain, even if eternities pass over it .... But what has gone out from Me is love in its original substance and will eternally not be able to pass away .... It will once again take on its original nature and then also, as in the beginning, be able to hear My word, it will be unspeakably happy, because it is then again closely connected with Me and will remain so until all eternity ...._>Amen

What was the human being and what is his earthly task? ....

B.D. 8582 from August 7th 1963, taken from Book No. 90

As a human being you certainly enter the stage of the self-aware being again, you recognise yourselves as something spiritually tangible, yet you are not conscious of the supreme perfection you once possessed .... and that your existence as a human being at the start of your embodiment is but a pale reflection of your former Self .... You are indeed the same being again which recognises itself as a self-aware being with intelligence and free will, but you are missing a specific degree of maturity which characterises you as a divine being; you became imperfect as a result of your former apostasy from God and first have to attain your original perfection again. Nevertheless, you are self-aware beings who are capable of thinking and in possession of free will, and who now shall use their intellect to achieve their final full maturity on this earth. And in order to tackle this maturing completely consciously you have to know what kind of relationship you had with the One Who created you .... you have to know that you once had an intimately close bond with your God and Creator and that you had distanced yourselves from Him voluntarily .... but that, in order to become perfect again, in order to adopt your original nature again, you must join Him once more, or you will remain without strength and light, because He alone is the eternal source of strength and light, from Whom all created beings will have to accept strength and light in order to become again what they had been in the beginning .... supremely perfect beings, images of God .... true children of the Father, Who had given them life ....

This maturing into perfect beings is the human being's task on earth, who therefore also has the ability to accept knowledge and assimilate it, to mentally come to terms with this knowledge and to always use it in regards to his perfection .... For during his existence as a human being he is given the possibility to intellectually (intelligibly) form an opinion about the knowledge conveyed to him on the part of God, which can be externally imparted to him through messengers as well as internally through the voice of conscience, for he can and ought to use the gift of his intellect, and with good will he then can also penetrate more profound knowledge .... if he always yields to the inner influence of his conscience and actively starts to carry out deeds of love .... Then he will start on the path of return to God, then he will begin to look for contact again with the One, Who is his Father of eternity .... Then he will also slowly mature fully and be able to reach the pinnacle he had once been on and which has to be regained if the being wants to come into possession of light and strength and freedom which, in the very beginning, had made it indescribably happy ....

Consider, you humans, what task you ought to fulfil in earthly life, that you shall arise from a state of weakness and darkness and work your way up to bright light and utmost strength .... that you are certainly able to do so if you are of good will and comply with the divine will to live a life of love .... You are certainly able to fulfil God's requirement to become perfect, for He grants you strength and grace in abundance, He is always ready to support you with His help, and He also places His will into your heart, so that you only need to be observant and accept your feeling which will prompt you into doing good deeds, speaking kindly and thinking correctly if only you are willing to fulfil your earthly task .... For in the state of self-awareness as a human being you will also always be informed of God's Word, in whatever form it may be .... You will receive the knowledge about a God and Creator, and then you will also be able to reflect on it yourselves and mentally receive explanations from the spiritual realm ....

The possibility to perfect yourselves on earth is given to every one of you humans .... For you are no longer bound in the form, you are passing through your final embodiment on this earth and possess all the abilities which will guarantee your progress .... but you also have free will, which alone determines how you will use your abilities. And you have to turn this will in the right direction yourselves, therefore you will be repeatedly informed about the importance of your earthly life. Your intellect can form an opinion of it and determine the will .... But the free decision shall always be your own, and that is your responsibility, for your future fate in eternity will match accordingly .... For although you will not go astray forever, the state of your soul's weakness and darkness can nevertheless last for infinite times and result in renewed agonies instead of happiness .... Yet you yourselves have to make the final decision during your earthly life in complete freedom of will, and good for him, who pushes towards God and unites with Him again on earth ....

Amen

Working of the adversary in the garb of the angel of light ....

B.D. 8583 from August 9th 1963, taken from Book No. 90

You will still often be exposed to My adversary's temptations, yet you must not allow yourselves to become discouraged and only ever turn your eyes towards Me, and his influence on you will constantly weaken the more you strive towards Me and maintain your bond with Me. Again and again he will try to prevent you in your vineyard work, but as soon as only your will is strong to serve Me his activity will be in vain. He will run against the strength of your will, which is meant for Me and therefore will press it (you) at any time, because you recognize him. And that is why he will also often disguise himself and appear as angel of light and want to go together with you to then counteract you .... But you, My servants on earth, you stand in the light and therefore will not need to fear his goings-on because you will recognize and unmask him, no matter how well his mask is chosen .... He will want to do the same as you and will stop at nothing, and that is exactly why you should be attentive .... Because it is the last time where great freedom is still left to him, which he uses in the most evil way that he goes against Me, against truth, against everything what strives for perfection .... He will present erroneous spiritual material to men; he will make use of human intellect and judge it wrongly. He will always place the world more in the foreground and seek to undermine every bond with Me .... He will prevent people from thinking about Me, their God and creator, by repeatedly turning their thoughts towards the world and thereby making them unfit to concentrate on Me or to seek contact with Me in quiet hours .... You humans do not know what power is at his disposal before the end, which you yourselves grant him through your attitude, through your indifference towards Me and your wrongly directed will, which strives far more for the worldly kingdom than the spiritual kingdom and which can therefore also be worked on by My adversary .... I certainly also work against him, but I will not touch your freedom of will when you rather incline towards him than towards Me .... But again and again I will also protect those from his influence who have already given themselves to Me, who only ever strive towards Me and consciously turn away from him. And although he will not let go of them and his attempts will continue, he will gain little or no profit, for they recognize him and will not let themselves be deceived by him .... Because already the will to belong to Me protects men from his influence because he is then powerless where he sees Me and My presence. The light, which goes out from Me, blinds him and pushes him back .... and all men would be protected from his temptations, if they would only consciously establish the connection with Me, because then My presence is the safest protection from him. For he can only approach you in weaknesses or in the wrong direction of your will .... And he makes use of such opportunities. But the ones who are Mine can also be reassured that I never leave them without protection. Therefore do not become fickle when obstacles seemingly stand in your way by which you recognize the influence of My adversary .... Then only turn to Me that I give you increased power to be able to resist, that I therefore may be prepared for help, which you then are also allowed to experience at any time. For I will never leave you to him, you who have offered yourselves to Me for service .... he will never be able to push you away from the path which leads to Me, and I will never allow him to poison the seed which you receive from Me .... You will recognize brightly and clearly where weeds start to grow up, and you will remove them because I want to keep the seed pure, which is supplied to you and through you is also to fertilise the hearts of men, the fields, which you are to work and cultivate still before the end .... Therefore you are to prevent all mixing with foreign spiritual material, you are not to let yourselves be dazzled by beautiful words and speeches, which are only ever meant to pretend to be of value, yet are completely worthless, because they did not come forth from Me but from My adversary, who had camouflaged himself well in order to find entrance with blind people, who themselves do not yet possess the right faculty of judgement, in order to ward him off when he offers them his works of dazzle .... I will truly take care that My word remains pure as long as eager servants make themselves available to Me who themselves only desire truth and only ever want to represent the pure truth .... Because it is the last time before the end, and only pure truth can still bring salvation to men out of greatest spiritual trouble. My adversary will certainly try to undermine this, but where the will of man allows My working there he will not be able to assert himself .... And you, My servants, will recognize him despite his mask, and you will declare war on him and also be able to be certain of My support in this fight .... For he certainly has power over you, if you yourselves grant him this, but never over Me Myself, Who is with everyone whose will belongs to Me and who alone wants to serve Me ...._>Amen

Love for God is demonstrated through neighbourly love ....

B.D. 8584 from August 11th 1963, taken from Book No. 90

I always keep telling you the same: take care of your fellow human being in his adversity .... help him, irrespective of whether he suffers spiritual or physical distress; practice unselfish neighbourly love and you will fulfil the purpose of your existence. For you only demonstrate your love for Me when you give love to your neighbour, who is your brother. I Am a Father to all of you; I long for your love which should apply to all My living creations who have emerged from Me. Your fellow human beings very often suffer hardship, and it will mainly concern spiritual difficulties in which you should help them, for earthly difficulties will come to an end but spiritual adversity continues and will always require help, regardless of whether they are on earth or in the kingdom of the beyond.

Spiritual adversity largely consists of unkindness and therefore the soul's imperfect composition which, however, should mature in earthly life through love .... Hence, if you love your neighbour it can awaken reciprocated love and encourage the other person to change his nature if he wants to emulate you, if you are an example to him by living a true life of love .... Giving love is the greatest help .... but you should also make the Gospel known to your neighbour, that is, you should also describe his Creator and Provider as a God of love Who is everyone's Father and therefore wants to be called upon as a Father ....

You should only ever try to impart spiritual knowledge to your fellow human being, and you will help his maturation if you offer everything to him with love. Yet you should also support your neighbour in earthly adversity and thereby likewise inspire reciprocated love, for love is strength in itself and will never remain ineffective unless your neighbour still completely belongs to My adversary, then he will reject you and not experience the results of love. And you will only ever mature through actions of love .... consequently every opportunity should be used by you to act with love .... And notice should be taken of every hardship suffered by your fellow human being, you should not pass him by indifferently and leave him in distress, for then you are heartless yourselves and do not fulfil your earthly purpose which solely consists of accepting your fundamental nature again, of becoming the love you were in the beginning.

The commandment of love will always be the first and most important one, and the Gospel which teaches you to love God and your neighbour will always have to be proclaimed to people .... However, you will never show love to Me if you ignore your neighbour, no matter how strongly you are moved by your emotions .... True love for Me can only be expressed in loving activity for the next person. And thereby you also prove your love for Me. But anyone who is half-hearted and indifferent in his love for his neighbour will never feel true love for Me, for how can a person love Me Whom he cannot see, if he ignores his brother whom he can see ....

Love between people has grown cold in the last days, and therefore they are also very distant from Me Who, as Eternal Love, can only unite with a person through love .... And this is why the spiritual adversity is so great, for to be heartless also means to be without faith, without knowledge and without strength .... Furthermore, it means to still be subject to the power of the one who is devoid of all love and who will always stop people from acting with love .... but who also wants your downfall by keeping you away from Me. And he is the one you have to resist, you have to try to contact Me and you will only ever attain this through loving activity .... For this reason I say 'What you do to the least of My brothers, you have done to Me ....' I Myself consider your love for your fellow human being as love for Me ....

How else would you be able to demonstrate your love for Me? .... If you believe in Me and that I, as a Father, grant love to all My children, then you also have to return My love as children, and then you also know that all you humans are regarded by Me as children, that you are all the same .... living beings who originated from Me, and you have to love one another and move towards Me together .... But one also has to carry the other, you have to protect the other from suffering harm, you have to help him in all kinds of difficulties, you have to stick together and establish this true relationship between brothers and then strive towards your eternal Father together. Only then will you have the kind of love for each other which I require of you humans, because you are the same in your fundamental substance .... because you came forth from the divine strength of love.

And once the relationship between you humans has changed, once all your thoughts and actions are determined by love, you will also become more perfect, you will become again what you had been before: living creations permeated by love which only ever work for each others beatitude .... For where love exists there also has to be a receptacle for this emanated love, irrespective of whether I Myself as the primary source, or you as terminals of My strength of love re-emanate this love .... there always has to be a vessel into which you can radiate your love ....

And thus on earth this vessel is your fellow human being .... the person next to you to whom you give your love, which you receive from Me .... For you cannot give anything that you wouldn't have received from Me first .... I nurture the spark of love in you such that My love enlightens you consistently more and inspires loving actions, and this work will apply to your neighbour again, for you will be inclined to be constantly of assistance once My love is able to enlighten you.

And your activity of love for your neighbour demonstrates to Me that you accept My rays of love, that you open your hearts and grant entrance to Me and My love .... it demonstrates to Me that you are committed to Me in love again or you would keep your hearts closed and I would be unable to work in you. And you will always mature providing you don't lead a one-sided life but always consider your fellow human being and take a personal interest in his physical and psychological circumstances, providing you try to lead him on the path to Me and also support him in earthly adversity if he approaches you and requests your assistance. You are living together for the purpose of mutual maturing. And you will always be given the opportunity to carry out actions of helpful love .... You just have to be of good will and allow yourselves to be guided always in view of Me, your God and Creator, Whom you acknowledge as a Father and to Whom you show the love of a child .... Then you will love each other as brothers and benefit each other .... And then your soul will mature on earth and achieve its goal: through love it will unite with Me, the Eternal Love, and then you will be blissfully happy forever ....

Amen

Relationship of similar souls ....

B.D. 8585 from August 12th 1963, taken from Book No. 90

Only what you receive from the spirit is the pure guaranteed truth, for if the human intellect had been involved the truth may well have changed already, because the intellect can be influenced by the lord of darkness. Thus caution should always be taken when assertions are made which cannot be proven, involving spheres which are intellectually inscrutable .... And this applies to such spiritual assertions which are akin to wishful thinking, where the wish becomes the father of a thought and this thought subsequently occupies the intellect more than the heart and thus could also have been influenced by God’s adversary .... Deep down in your heart you humans have the desire for a profoundly harmonious relationship with a partner. All human beings long for happiness which they can experience and enjoy together, because the desire for happiness is still part of the bliss which the soul experienced prior to its desertion from God. It need not always be expressed by the person (during earthly life) but it exists and, as a rule, will usually remain a dream, because earthly life does not guarantee a continuous state of bliss. And if the person tries to create this condition himself then, due to imperfection, the opposite usually will happen: unkindness will destroy harmony, and indifference or animosities will become people’s companions in life, although within themselves they harbour the desire for unity and mutual understanding. But such people will create their own desired ideals, especially since they have the wrong idea about the spiritual kingdom, about life after the death of the body .... And what they are unable to find on earth they hope to find in the spiritual kingdom: souls who are aligned with their own soul, who will join them and enter into a harmonious relationship which will guarantee blissful happiness .... They believe to find the partner, for whom they had searched on earth in vain, in the kingdom of the beyond ....

And they are right in as much as the harmony and love of equally mature souls will elate every individual soul extraordinarily .... Their thinking is correct in as much as the unification of souls with the same degree of maturity in the spiritual kingdom will always result in supreme happiness, because in a state of perfection every impure characteristic will vanish, and the former relationship between the souls will be re-established, as it was in the beginning; love will link all souls and this itself will already signify unlimited happiness. Whereas relationships can be formed on earth between good and not so good partners, and consequently these relations will either be happy and peaceful or progress inharmoniously .... Thus in the kingdom of the beyond the individual souls will then either separate from each other or continue to stay in close contact .... Souls are able to find other partners who, due their spiritual degree of maturity, will share the same spiritual aspiration, the same awareness and the same light, and who will make each other happy through their similarity and their acquired degree of love. These souls will attract each other, they will create and work together for their own happiness, because the same spiritual state of maturity is always a prerequisite for the unification of souls. Hence entirely unfamiliar souls can come together on earth and will recognise that they belong together by the strength of their light. And this common bond had indeed existed before the apostasy from God in as much as they had worked together, that they had the same tasks which every soul carried out in accordance with God’s will, when innermost love still connected all living creations with each other and their Creator ....

An infinitely long time passed by in which the first created being was intimately linked by love to its Creator, and countless living beings emerged from this love. And in accordance with Lucifer’s bond to the God and Creator of eternity their nature was always alike, and thus all these souls, who initially were united in indescribable bliss, will find each other again .... It is also possible that such souls will embody themselves on earth at the same time, that they will find each other during their life on earth and enter into an earthly union. But then profound understanding, innermost affection and the same spiritual aspiration will reveal their common bond, and such a relationship will not be dissolved in the spiritual kingdom either. It will be a marriage ‘made in heaven’, but it should be understood differently than an earthly marriage, which is conducted for the purpose of the souls’ embodiment as human beings yet it has nothing in common with a spiritual marriage. Love is the only bond which really unites the beings, but which will always culminate in love for God. In this way they will not aspire towards anything other than their God and Father of eternity, so that they will constantly receive His strength of love and they will be continuously infused by His strength. By working together they then utilise this strength and pass it on where their mutual, i.e. intensified, activity is needed, and the bliss of souls who are linked to each other will constantly increase because they will always want to help and serve God and therefore they will always want to take redeeming actions too ....

Amen

What did Jesus' body consist of? .... I.

B.D. 8586 from August 14th 1963, taken from Book No. 90

Nothing is impossible to Me, your God and Creator .... Everything I want, happens, and what I want to create instantly appears in front of Me as an accomplished thought .... I have no limitations, neither concerning ideas nor executed actions, be they of spiritual or material substance. For basically everything is spiritual substance, regardless of whether you see physical or spiritual creations. But how this substance is natured can only be judged by Me Myself .... Only I know whether it is spiritual substance which had once fallen away from Me and had hardened into solid matter or whether it is My directly emanated spiritual strength which took on a shape according to My will, for I can use any strength to change or form all kinds of works of creations. I can also give My directly emanated strength those characteristics which cling to the sinful spiritual being if it, in its final form as a human being, shelters a soul for the purpose of attaining perfection .... A body created by Me of non-sinful spiritual substances can, through My will, experience a state of weakness or incorporate characteristics which adhere to all other bodies if it serves a specific purpose .... Everything is within My will and within My power .... But through contact with the world, with matter .... which is impure spiritual substance .... everything of a pure, divine nature will always be influenced by the latter and experience problems, and since Jesus' act of Salvation involved an extraordinarily important mission, impure adverse forces made a special effort to exert influence on the purely Divine, Jesus' external form. For this divine-spiritual emanation of strength, which His body has to be regarded as, did not take effect by destroying or preventing everything of an adverse nature .... instead, it was sufficient to render the same resistance, like any other external form should, by pacifying the encroaching spiritual substances and thus waging the same battle against all temptations, for as a human being Jesus wanted to exemplify the kind of life which all fellow human beings should live in order to release themselves from the forces of darkness.

However, the fact that Jesus' body consisted of earthly matter cannot be denied: nevertheless, this earthly matter was a product of My love, wisdom and might, its substance was not taken from a fallen spirit but My emanated strength which My will compressed into shape .... Even so, the demands it imposed on Jesus were by no means less arduous, for as soon as strength from Me comes to earth .... hence, as soon as perfect spirit enters My adversary's realm, it will be besieged by unspiritual substances and all substances which clung to Jesus' soul and more or less took possession of the body were meant to be redeemed. Thus He had to fight so as not to succumb to them but without using His strength beyond human means since He was meant to serve people as an example and, therefore, Jesus the man was not granted any privilege due to extraordinary strength .... As a human He had to be like all other people, and even the fact that His body was a product of My strength did not give Him any advantages in His striving for deification .... It was nothing more than a shackle which continuously tormented His soul, because it was used to freedom and the brightest of light and had to take above in darkness .... And this darkness also inundated the body, causing it much pain which was felt by the soul and yet it could not be spared for the body. For as a result of His love Jesus recognised all correlations and was resigned to His fate, which He exactly foresaw and through which alone He already endured indescribable pain. Nevertheless, complete deification could only be achieved by extraordinary suffering and an abundance of love .... And the fact alone that a pure body without sin and a soul from the kingdom of light had to reside in the realm of the prince of darkness contributed towards that, because they constantly had to defend themselves against him and his forces, which made every effort to tempt the body into becoming sinful in order to cause the downfall of Jesus, the human being, albeit he did not succeed. However, it was a hard fight, and yet, Jesus the man prevailed and thus provided all people with proof that through love they also acquire the strength in order to resist all temptations by the adversary. Besides, through His crucifixion He also acquired the grace of greater willpower for you humans, so that it is possible for all people to release themselves from the shackle of their prison warden, so that they will not be at the adversary's mercy but find help in Jesus Christ in Whom they can confide and Who nevertheless understands them as human beings and will truly snatch them from the adversary's control if they appeal to Him, for He knows how much he torments your body in order to prevent your soul from maturing .... He is aware that the battle in earthly life is hard because the body still belongs to the adversary, who does not want to release it, but Jesus made the sacrifice on the cross for you so that you can become free, He redeemed you through His blood so that you will be released from all sin ....

Right statement of salvation and the incarnation of God ....

B.D. 8587 from August 15th 1963, taken from Book No. 90

And again and again My word will sound for you, to point you with all urgency to Jesus Christ, the divine redeemer, in Whom I Myself incarnated, to open you people the gate to the kingdom of light, which was closed for you by your former apostasy of God. Therefore you walk on this earth to be saved from your original guilt, and because your free will must strive for this salvation, it is also necessary, that you will be given a truthful explanation of the reason and meaning of the redemptive work of Jesus .... You must get knowledge of that, to provide Him voluntarily or reject Him. And thus will be now also your further destiny, when you have to leave this earth again and enter the spiritual kingdom. Again and again this knowledge was presented to you, but you are mostly too indifferent, to come to the consequence from it .... And yet it is the most urgent task on earth, that you take the path to the cross, that you will find Jesus Christ and you ask Him for help for your earthly path, so that you reach the right aim. For very fast a man’s time on earth is over, and what you missed in earth life, that you will not be able to make up, even if you get not lost forever .... But the man Jesus died for you on the cross, to make you reachable to the highest aim, to become a “child of God“ .... He has acquired the graces for you by His suffering and death, you only might use in order to achieve the aim in life on earth .... He has Himself sacrificed, to buy your life again, that however has the binding with Me to the precondition and this binding is only possible, when you are free of guilt again, which brought the former apostasy from Me to you .... Before you had be free from all guilt, a man had to offer up the atoning sacrifice for you, that My justice had been done often enough, because I am absolutly perfect and could not avoid justice, even if My love is endless for you .... And the man Jesus has offered this atoning sacrifice to His fallen brothers in love and through that He has made free the way to Me again .... If you now go as a human being on the earth, you should take your former guilt under the cross and give it to the One, Who died for that .... You should and have to find Jesus, to be redeemed once from your great original guilt, otherwise your earthly life is lived in vain, because the guilt prevents the entrance into the kingdom of light and you would have to languish in darkness forever, because the former sin prevents any light from Me, the sin seperates you from Me, because I can never unite with a creature, that has become sinful. Consider, that you still enter the earth as human afflicted with this guilt of sins and that the time on earth is short, but that you can completely become free during that short time and you can step in the kingdom of light as blessed beings, if Jesus has opened the door to you, when you have found Him in earthly life, when you have trusted yourselves to Him and have taken the way to the cross .... where you can get rid of every guilt and now you are allowed to enter in His kingdom, which is not in darkness, but in the light .... Consider, that you have to give yourselves to Him in complete free will and that is, why a right knowledge is necessary, because as soon as you realize, that His love has suffered and died for you, to supply you with Me again, you will also do everything, to obtain the forgiveness of your guilt of sins .... For His love, that He has shown you through the death on the cross, you will give back, and because this love I’m self, you will also recognize Myself, your Father of eternity, in Jesus and you will get a binding, which you once got loose in free will .... Again and again therefore I must speak to you and give you a right picture .... Again and again a truthful knowledge must be given to you about Jesus Christ, the redeemer of the world, Who died for love on you and Who has included Myself in Himself as the eternal love .... Because I Myself wanted to redeem you from your guilt and for that I had to use a human form .... which I could occupy, because the man Jesus was full of love and gave Me also a home in Himself .... His human shell closed around My love, so it hid Myself in Himself, and God became “man“, and the man Jesus became “God“ .... For I am a spirit, that is not limited, but I have created a limited shell, in that I could be the beings, who once had come from Me, a visible God, who never could have been endured a sight of My whole flame of love, without ceasing to exist .... I Myself embodied in Jesus, Who Himself completely spiritualized and therefore only became the visible form of the eternal spirit of God, that now all beings can look face to face in a certain degree of ripeness .... Only if you human beings are full of love, you will nearly understand this great mystery of My incarnation, but it must also be explained a loving man truthfully, and that is why I will give a light among the people again and again, again and again I will give information about spiritual secrets, those can never be understood by the human mind .... Therefore I can only correspond to the spirit in man, and first he must be brought to life through love .... So I admonish you urgently, to fulfill My commandments of love, so that you may understand, what is arranged to you in spiritual truths .... For then you shall also go the right way, you will yourselves will go the way to the cross and be redeemed from sin and death ....

Amen

God's abundant love for His creatures ....

B.D. 8588 from August 16th 1963, taken from Book No. 90

One day you will also understand why My love constantly persecutes you .... when you will enjoy the glories of My kingdom and remember the time when you found yourselves in great adversity because you still kept yourselves distant from Me .... In view of the glories you will recognize My greater than great love and understand that this love could not give you up, that it constantly endeavoured to give itself to you, to prepare a fate for you which precisely only love is capable of giving. And then you will return this endless love of Mine with all your strength and be prepared to do everything for Me. You will likewise want to lead all wretched to happiness, and you will take care of the wretched on My behalf: seek to bring it to Me, that also this finds its happiness with Me, because all creatures are My children, whom the father only always seeks to make happy. But as long as you still walk over earth, you do not grasp this My exceedingly great love towards you; you do not know what love actually is; you do not know that My primal element is love, that I am love Myself .... and therefore also eternally cannot abandon any being, even if it has distanced itself from Me in free will and rejected My love .... The being had lost all knowledge, indeed through its own fault, but it is now completely ignorant; it does not know that it has emerged from a source of love power, that its original being is also love and that it can only then become happy again when it has returned into its original state, which it once turned into the opposite itself. And again and again I try to return this realization to it, but I can only do so under certain conditions, which the being has to fulfil first .... For as soon as it receives a small light, the possibility of a free turn of will towards Me exists, and then already its unhappy state improves, and a quiet approach towards Me takes place, when love ignites again in the being, which it once extinguished itself .... Love must be in you again, then you also safely return to Me. Love alone binds you together with Me; love is My nature, and love gives itself away and wants to make happy. And love will therefore also bring about the change of the being, which again earns it highest happiness. But as man you can have no idea of the depth of My love, because your thinking is limited, but My love is unlimited; it does not cease for ever, and everything what has come out of My love will be loved by Me for ever, and I will not rest sooner, until everything can create and work in blissful union with Me, as this was My plan from eternity but which requires endless times to be carried out, because every being created by Me possessed free will as a sign of its divine origin and this free will alone has to establish the connection with Me through love .... But since the being resisted My illumination of love, since it rejected My love in the wrong idea that it did not need it, since the being fell into arrogance and rebelled against Me, it lost all strength and all light .... It lost its knowledge and fell into the deepest abyss, for I did not stop its fall because it happened of its own free will, because the being turned away from Me of its own free will and this therefore meant a lack of strength and darkness from which, however, it was able to ascend again at any time. For My love leaves no being in the abyss, it also helps the deeply fallen to ascend and only ever pursues the final return to Me, which I will also achieve one day and whether eternities will pass over it .... The being returns to Me as My 'child' and will let itself be permeated by My love again as it once was, it will attain light and strength and be able to work and create in its own will, but which has completely entered into My will .... And this will give it bliss unlimitedly, and it will never be able to grasp that it has resisted the love of the father for so long, and that is why its love will become more and more violent; it will burn to a blaze and in this love also again contribute to the redemption of that, which is still unhappy in the distance from Me .... For love is a power which accomplishes everything, love is a light which illuminates everything .... And love will only ever give itself away and make blessed, for it draws everything into its sphere of radiation what once went out from Me, as the eternal love, but distanced itself in free will and became unhappy .... Love leads everything back again to the original source of love, and every spark of love unites again with the original fire of love .... nothing gets lost .... everything in love again goes the way back to Me where it took its start ...._>Amen

Prayer for strength and grace .... Pride .... Humility ....

B.D. 8589 from August 18th 1963, taken from Book No. 90

Be mindful of the fact that you can always request My blessing, for yourselves as well as for your fellow human beings and all souls in the spiritual kingdom .... Your plea for a gift of grace is always an act of humility if you request it for yourselves, for you thereby acknowledge your weakness and in this weakness ask Me to strengthen you. And a person feeling weak will always approach Me with humility, and I bestow My grace upon the humble .... And if you request grace for other people, for another human being or for souls in the beyond, then it is an act of selfless love, for you want to help those who are weak in spirit, you request strength for these equally weak souls and then, for the sake of your love, I can give them strength. But it is always a spiritual request that you ask of Me, and truly, it will also always be granted to you. And you will only ever ask Me with a humble heart, you admit your weakness and know that strength and grace can only come from Me, and thus you confess your imperfection and desire to become perfect by requesting My support ....

And if you now consider that you once deserted Me because you deemed yourselves strong and didn't believe you needed Me and My strength any longer, then you will also understand that you had voluntarily deprived yourselves of your perfection .... But you are embodied on earth as a human being for the purpose of returning to Me, and this return has to take place in reverse order to the apostasy from Me .... You had been arrogant and believed yourselves to have abundant strength .... Now, however, you have to recognise and confess your weakness with profound humility by appealing to Me for a gift of strength ....

Since you once turned away from Me of your own free will you have to appeal to Me for grace, for a gift you don't deserve, which you had arrogantly thrown away yourselves .... But believe Me that I will very gladly grant such an appeal for strength and grace, for I Myself want you to attain perfection and be able to join Me again in order to receive blessings which only the unity with Me can provide .... Just your admission of unworthiness and weakness motivates Me already to bestow a wealth of gifts upon you .... Therefore you can ask Me time and again for a gift of strength and grace .... It is a spiritual request which I will grant without fail, for My happiness consists of constantly providing My living creations with the strength of My love to enable their progress and to come ever closer to Me. For you won't be able to do so by yourselves as long as you are not exceptionally kind-hearted and thereby acquire strength for yourselves.

But a prayer in spirit and in truth for a gift of grace and strength is an absolute guarantee for its receipt, for time and again I stress: I bestow My grace on the humble, for only a humble heart will ask Me for it. And time and again I assure you that this request will be granted, since you, after all, thereby admit your wish to come close to Me, and thus you already pass your test of will on earth: your voluntary turning towards Me from Whom you once turned away in arrogance and imperiousness .... However, anyone who asks is neither arrogant nor imperious, as he submits himself to Me, and due to his humility I can now also give to him abundantly, and truly, no-one will go without if he approaches Me with this plea, which I will very gladly listen to and also grant ....

Once this thought of requesting strength and grace from Me comes alive in you, then you will also acknowledge Me as your God and Creator Who wants to be your Father, you are already in contact with Me, which is always demonstrated by a heartfelt prayer, irrespective of what you ask for .... But strength and grace are spiritual possessions which I will never withhold from a praying person, because they prove his humility, and I will always bestow My grace upon the humble, as I have promised ....

Amen

God demands only love from human beings ....

B.D. 8590 from August 19th 1963, taken from Book No. 90

Again and again you will be seized and pulled up by My love if only you do not resist, for I will not leave you in the abyss, I will help you at all times to ascend step by step, to ascend from dark regions to bright heights. I help you that you receive power and also can cover the way to the height, which leads up and costs effort, with success. But I always demand of you that you give up all resistance, that you turn to Me for help and are prepared to fulfil My will. Then you can also reach your aim guaranteed, for the purpose of which you stay on earth. You can perfect yourselves still on earth and enter the kingdom on the other side with a high degree of light, where then a wonderful fate awaits you, which lasts for ever. You are to fulfil My will .... And this means that you should live a life of love .... I demand nothing more of you than that you arise in love towards Me and towards the neighbour, because love is the basic principle, because love is the law of eternal order, because I Myself am love and you have emerged from this love. Once you have fathomed the essence of love it will be understandable to you why I require nothing but love from you, for love is everything, it is light and strength and bliss .... Without love you remain distant from Me, and only with Me alone is happiness, only in connection with Me can you be full of power and light. But if you reject My love, then you will be and remain unhappy, until you change your nature yourselves and become love again, as you were in the beginning .... Everything that now approaches you in earth life can let love flare up in you, for you were only put into this world for the reason that you can practice love working .... You can always and everywhere be active in helping your fellow human beings, you can serve, and if this happens in unselfish love, you yourselves change your nature, which initially only knows ego love, into unselfish, giving and wanting to make happy love, and you yourselves become again what you were in the beginning: love-radiated beings full of light and power .... you become My children, who in love desire the father and will now also receive love power without ceasing .... But to be allowed to receive love light and love power unlimitedly also means brightest recognition, knowledge about everything and penetration into the deepest secrets of creation, into deepest wisdom and into My plan of salvation from eternity .... A love-radiated man can already receive extensive knowledge on earth, and this knowledge will make him happy, and it will deepen the higher his degree of love rises, and the entrance into the kingdom on the other side after his death will trigger a happiness in him, which is unimaginable to you men, because he will be surrounded by brightest light; he will be allowed to see all glories, of which you men let yourselves dream of nothing .... And everything can only be achieved through love, which you as human beings practice so little and which is nevertheless the only thing that secures you an eternal life in beatitude .... I only demand love from you men, but I also help you that you are able to practice it, because I am always prepared to improve your lot for you, and because I do not want to leave you in the deep, in darkness, since you were created as light beings in the beginning. You chose darkness yourselves in free will, but I am constantly endeavouring to cause you to ascend voluntarily. And you can only cover this when you are active in love, because then you constantly receive power to walk up, and because you then also recognize for what purpose you walk over earth, and consciously pursue your aim: the union with Me, which makes you unspeakably happy, but which exactly can only be reached through a love life in full unselfishness. But you only need to earnestly want, and truly, I will help you that you let the will become action .... You will always receive strength to carry out your will, and you will always be guided and led so that you always come closer to the aim. I will announce My will to you, and if you fulfil it, you will also live in love and then also be united with Me, Who is love Myself .... But the union with Me is highest happiness, and it now also remains until all eternity ...._>Amen

The broad and the narrow path ....

B.D. 8591 from August 20th 1963, taken from Book No. 90

Anyone who has devoted himself to the world will hardly find the path into the spiritual kingdom .... He takes a broad and even path which offers him many enticing images to captivate his senses, giving his body a sense of well-being and making it impossible for him to take his eyes off them .... He will behold flourishing gardens, his lust for life will be stimulated and he will not tire of absorbing all attractions, given that his disposition desires them and his desire will be satisfied by the one who wants to prevent a person's thoughts from turning to the spiritual kingdom. His soul, however, will be starving, for none of the possessions the world has to offer will satisfy the soul's hunger and thirst, which requires a different nourishment in order to mature and recover. For the soul is ailing and unhappy if it is only offered worldly things. Yet time and again messengers stand by the crossings where narrow paths are branching off wanting to entice people onto these narrow paths. But only rarely will they succeed in persuading a person to discontinue his journey on the broad street and to use the narrow path instead which leads faster and with certainty to the goal. If people listen to My messengers and accept their guidance they will truly be helped, and soon they will look upwards and courageously start to go uphill, because they behold a marvellous goal and even obstacles or exertions of any kind will not hold them back, they will follow their guide and overcome all difficulties, for My messengers know how to describe the goal in such glowing terms that they will muster all their strength in order to attain it. But only a few people will take this narrow path at all, for the most part My messengers will not even be listened to, and the difficult and arduous climb scares those people off who only consider their body but not their soul .... The broad path, however, is a misguided path, it irrevocably leads into the abyss, they get caught up in the impenetrable undergrowth and are unable to free themselves from it unless they call upon the help of the One, of Whom they certainly know but in Whom they didn't want to believe .... He alone can send helpers even into this confusion, which will release them and guide them to another path, yet only a few will appeal to the One for help and their end will be a dreadful one.

Always remember that you don't live on earth in order to enjoy yourselves and to merely provide a good living standard for your body, but believe that you should first consider your soul. And in order to help your soul you should patiently accept all difficulties, walk the narrow path in the knowledge that it requires strength to ascend and believe that it will lead to the goal, that it will become increasingly brighter the higher you will climb, and that at the end of the path there will be One Who already expects you, that He will send his messengers to meet you who will support you and help you overcome all obstacles .... that your eyes need only look upwards in order to receive strength and light so that you will not go astray and prevail over all discomforts on the way .... But don't let yourselves be deceived by the attractive images lining the wide path that leads down into the abyss. Your goal is up high, in the light, and truly, you will only have to make an effort for a short time in order to reach the pinnacle, yet this effort will be richly rewarded, for then you will no longer need to fear any evil if you no longer disregard the goal .... which is Me Myself, Who wants to guide you into paradise, into the kingdom of light and bliss .... However, this can never be reached on the broad path, for this is My adversary's means, who wants to show you all the riches in the world in order to keep you away from the goal to unite yourselves with me again. He only influences people's senses, I, however, want to gain your souls and therefore must deprive you of everything which might damage your soul, which includes all worldly pleasures and delights, for 'My kingdom is not of this world ....' If you strive for this world you will not attain My kingdom, therefore shun the world wherever possible even if you have to comply with all requirements which life on earth demands of you .... But don't let them become your purpose in life, instead only aspire for My kingdom, and you will truly not regret it and gladly travel the narrow path leading upwards, because you will soon recognise Me in the guide Who walks by your side .... Then I Myself will be able to escort you because you have made Me the goal of your earthly life and because I also know that you are turning away from the one who only promises and offers the world to you .... And the further you distance yourselves from the said broad path the easier will be your ascent, for the heights you aspire to will become ever brighter until you are finally surrounded by the brightest shine and you enter into My kingdom which will reveal unimaginable splendours to you, and then you will live in light and strength and freedom and be supremely happy ....

Amen

Greatest spiritual need is faithlessness ....

B.D. 8592 from August 21st 1963, taken from Book No. 90

Let Me speak to you, and then you will always be near Me, otherwise you would not be able to hear Me. But you must be close to Me in order to be able to receive the strength from Me which you need for your ascent to the height. And you are close to Me with every thought, which you send upwards, into the spiritual kingdom, with every thought, which is meant for Me. And when I can be near you then you can cover every step on earth without worry; it will lead upwards and bring you to the destination. That is why lack of faith has such an exceedingly detrimental effect on the course of development of man; he constantly remains standing on the same level, if he does not even sink back to the deep, because as soon as he does not believe in Me, he also seeks no union with Me .... His thoughts are exclusively turned towards the world and its goods, and he can in no way receive strength from Me, but without which his life is an idle run .... If he would use his life power for love work then he would acquire power through it, but only rarely is a completely unbelieving man active in love because he is still dominated by My opponent who himself is devoid of all love and also prevents his following from love work. And if such a man is still to be rescued before the end or also before his own death, then this can only bring about great trouble, which still causes him to intervene helpingly, and can also teach him to think differently. But this hope only exists with few men because faithlessness is proof that the opponent completely controls him, and since he himself does not request help to be able to resist him, his earth life passes and brings him no spiritual success at all. And in the times of the end very many men are in this spiritual trouble .... The world completely captivates them, they think of nothing but the increase of earthly goods and the comfort of the body; every thought of a spiritual kingdom .... when it arises in them .... they immediately reject and therefore can also in no way be taught otherwise, because all compulsion switches off, because it is about the free decision of will of man on earth. Nevertheless, everything will still be tried on My part so that a little light will shine for everyone once, that sparks will flash up which he only needs to follow in order to reach a light .... I also meet completely faithless people and address them in some way .... If I cannot address them through My word, then they will be fatefully pointed to a super-strong power against Which they cannot raise themselves .... They will have experiences around them which can serve them all for reflection .... They will also experience things themselves which could prove to them a God and creator .... But as long as they are still fully attached to My opponent everything can also remain without impression, and then they irrevocably go towards a difficult fate, they will be banished anew in solid matter at the end of this earth .... And this is imminent .... For fewer and fewer people still establish the bond with Me .... fewer and fewer people believe in a God and creator, and the earthly course of life of these people is in vain, it does not earn the soul any success, and also the endless long course before in the state of compulsion was in vain, and the soul has to go through all phases of ascent development again in the dissolved state and cover a dreadfully agonizing way until the renewed embodiment as man after endless long time. When man passes away without faith then he will not be able to escape this fate, and that is why all My messengers are to try again and again to move men to faith .... Even if it is difficult it still need not be impossible because a person's thoughts can still change, for I wrestle for the souls until their death, and it is never hopeless, especially if a loving person takes care of such an unbelieving person, for love achieves much because love itself is a strength which no-one can resist in the long run. And when I admonish you again and again to diligent vineyard work then I also know that this alone is necessary and that it can also be successful insofar as that every effort in love does not remain without effect and can change a person's thinking .... and if it is still in the hereafter that a light still comes towards him there and he recognizes what you have offered him on earth. No love work is lost, and if you can cause a faithless man to carry out a love work, then this can already be the beginning that he is touched by a light shine .... it can move him to do good to his fellow human being again and again, and then the ice is melted which kept his heart bound .... It is never too late to bring a person to faith in Me, even if it is shortly before his death .... For then his path in the beyond will be easier, he will not sink into deepest darkness, for through faith in Me he has detached himself from My adversary, and he is saved for all eternity ...._>Amen

Suffering spiritualises soul and body ....

B.D. 8593 from August 21st 1963, taken from Book No. 90

You only need to enter My flow of strength, that is, you only need to fully consciously submit yourselves to Me and open your hearts to My illumination of love and My strength of love will become active in you, yet your soul will always experience this influx of strength more than your body and subsequently advance spiritually again. Remember that the body is meant to help you achieve this but that immature spiritual substances are still inside of you, for you are not perfect yet. And these immature substances require your help in order to mature on earth as well. Your help consists of entrusting these spiritual substances to Me by asking Me in silent prayer to impart strength to them. My adversary often tries to prevent your spiritual work by using these unspiritual substances to bother you physically or psychologically .... But you should know that your prayer on behalf of these still immature spiritual substances within you will always be successful, and therefore you should appeal to Me for My help and protection from all attacks by My adversary. And believe that nothing is impossible and that I can also take unusual actions if you have this strong belief .... Then these immature spirits will have to leave you, if they do not allow themselves to be calmed and spiritualised by you, but they forfeit a great blessing which was granted to them in the privilege of being allowed to join you in order to also reach full maturity in your physical shell, in your body. Keep reminding them of this blessing and try to persuade them to accept your will and to mature like your soul, so that they can shorten their process of development if they take your advice to heart. Yet whatever suffering you can bear accept it humbly and patiently, for it will surely mature you and one day you will even thank Me for the suffering you had to endure.

However, if, due to your submission and patience, the immature spiritual substances also reach maturity, then you will attain a high degree of maturity on earth, so that you will be close to perfection when you have to relinquish your earthly life. But My strength is always at your disposal and it is truly sufficient for the spiritualisation of the substances which are at the beginning of their development; yet you should consciously request My strength and let it radiate into your heart .... you should pray to Me, your thoughts should look for Me and only ever desire My presence .... You should yearn for My ray of love which I will gladly fulfil .... You only need to give yourselves to Me and be willing to receive the flow of My love's strength, which always requires heartfelt contact with Me. If you become absorbed in thoughts which only ever involve the spiritual kingdom, your God and Creator, then you are also ready to receive My flow of strength, then you will open your heart and I can illuminate you again as in the beginning when you were blissfully happy in burning love for Me. My love for you has remained the same, only your love has diminished but shall reach the same degree again which gave you unspeakable pleasure in the very beginning. And therefore you must come to Me yourselves and I will always be ready for you, I will give you what makes you happy and permeate your body and soul with My strength of love, which then will also lead you to full maturity, to final perfection. In association with Me you will no longer be able to suffer, even if it seems like that to your fellow human beings. A close union makes you insensitive to all pain, then My strength will be stronger, and it will permeate you .... either resulting in your body's complete recovery or .... if your hour has come .... in your painless passage into the spiritual kingdom, for if you are intimately united with Me you will also have attained your goal on earth ....

Amen

Painful means can lead to faith ....

B.D. 8594 from August 23rd 1963, taken from Book No. 90

If only people would believe in a God of love Who wants to make them happy. Yet in view of the immensely harsh conditions which strike people time and time again, in view of the harsh strokes of fate and all kinds of disasters, people cannot muster the belief that every adversity is also a work of love by Me, because I know by what means a person can still be saved and achieve beatitude .... Less painful means have no effect on you .... and if I speak to you with gentle Words you won't listen to Me, and yet you have to be persuaded to turn to Me, and when all painless means are in vain I have to use painful means so that you will think of Me, ask for My help and then receive it, so that you will then be able to recognise a God of love. You all could truly hear My loving Fatherly Words which merely inform you of My will, and as soon as you fulfil this will your life can then proceed calmly and yet successfully .... But if you ignore My gentle Words then I have to speak more clearly to you, because My love will not abandon you, because I will try everything to win you for Myself in order to awaken you to a life which will last forever. For you belong to Me, you merely stay away from Me, but I want you to return to Me of your own free will, and whatever you encounter in the form of suffering and harsh strokes of fate are only ever means which I recognise as successful and which I use because I love you and will never let go of you, no matter how long you oppose My love.

Therefore don't be surprised that hardship and sorrow will increase, for you are approaching the end and I still want to save souls from the fate of a new banishment, which is only possible if you acknowledge Me as God and Creator, if you call upon Me in desperation believing that a Power exists Which can help you, from Which you originated .... And you should believe that your distress will truly diminish, that you will clearly feel My help. And then you will also be able to recognise Me as a God of love, for your bond with Me will inwardly enlighten you about Me.

But many disasters will still happen on earth in the forthcoming time, and only those who have already found Me will recognise therein helpful means intended to lead people out of spiritual adversity, the others, however, will doubt or completely deny a God of love, for they are so attached to the world that they have no contact whatsoever with the spiritual kingdom, with the kingdom that is not of this world. They are purely worldly minded, and they scornfully reject every reference to God .... until they themselves experience adversity and can't see their way out .... Then I will come very close to them again, I will let the thought of a God Who is able to help arise in them, and then the great danger can encourage them to turn to this God .... Thus all sorrowful events, all disasters and other fateful blows will become explicable to you, for they are not coincidences but have been destined to occur by Me or have My permission, so that souls will still have means of help granted to them which should allow them to find Me .... But if their hearts remain hardened then only a natural event of immense proportions can make people stop and think, but even this will not compel them to believe, for totally obstinate people will not want to recognise and acknowledge a higher Power even then, but in that case they are completely subject to My adversary and their soul's fate of a new banishment is certain. However, as long as the earth still exists in its present form I will try to persuade people to change their will, and I shall still use many means which you will not find compatible with the love of a God. But I know what benefits every single person, I know the state of his soul, and accordingly I will affect him.

But you humans are fortunate if you are convinced of a loving God and Father .... Then you will calmly accept everything, whatever comes your way .... no matter how severely it affects you .... and only ever take refuge with Me, and I will truly not disappoint you. For a devout person will always receive My help, because his faith enables unusual influences. But true faith arises from love, and love also strives towards Me, the Eternal Love .... The human being establishes a solid bond with Me, and he will never distance himself from Me either. He has passed the last test of will on earth; he has voluntarily chosen Me and separated himself from My adversary for good .... And this is all I Am trying to achieve as long as the human being still lives on earth. For I want him to be able to enter his true home again, to be able to enter the kingdom of happiness and beatitude, where all suffering has come to an end and where he then will find everlasting life ....

Amen

Testing the truth of spiritual good ....

B.D. 8595 from August 24th 1963, taken from Book No. 90

Without hesitation you can and should stand up for everything what is imparted to you through My spirit, because what comes from Me can only be pure truth .... And that spiritual material comes from Me is also to be checked by you at any time and also to be recognized when you check in good will, therefore also desire truth. The spiritual material, which is offered to you, enlightens you about My will, and it gives you information about Jesus Christ and His work of redemption .... If you are therefore informed about it, if the meaning and purpose of your earthly life is explained to you, then such spiritual knowledge can never come forth from My adversary, who only ever endeavours to keep you ignorant about it so as not to lose you .... Nor can you ever intellectually fathom all deeper knowledge yourselves, which therefore especially includes Jesus' act of salvation .... because you will only ever intellectually process knowledge you already know. But whether this corresponds to truth, that you do not know, because I reserve all spiritual knowledge for Me, because I hand it out to those who really have the earnest desire to know truth, and who turn to Me Myself for supply of it. People certainly know about Jesus death on the cross through tradition if they believe in it .... but they know nothing about the cause, about the reason for His earthly life and His mission, as long as the meaning and purpose of an earthly life as a human being cannot be made comprehensible to them either .... which is only possible if a certain spiritual maturity enables the instruction through the spirit .... For in order to understand Jesus' work of redemption, the knowledge of the spirits' apostasy from Me and of My plan of salvation, of the process of return, must also be known to people. If all this is not explained to them beforehand they will also be unable to understand why Jesus and His act of salvation must be acknowledged if the purpose of earthly life is to be fulfilled .... For otherwise they reject everything as a legend and doubt His existence, or they regard His life and end as a purely worldly event without any spiritual meaning. That is why the work of My spirit in man will just give information about this, and again the results can then also be assessed as truth, because I have given the knowledge about Jesus as touchstone .... For My adversary will never inform people of the fact that Jesus, the son of God, took on flesh to lead people back to the father .... in order to redeem them from their original sin, their former apostasy from Me .... There are only two solutions: imparting purest truth on My part or one's own intellectual activity .... which, if it deviates from My mediations, will be influenced by My adversary and this will always be expressed in the denial of a 'redemption through Jesus Christ'. If a person convincedly stands up for this redemption then he is also mentally guided by My spirit. But when messages reach earth unusually, which inform you in detail and understandably about the act of salvation, then you can unhesitatingly accept Me Myself as the origin of these messages and also represent the spiritual knowledge with conviction .... Then you will also mentally stand by it yourselves, for My spirit always pours into a vessel which, through a life of love, is also able to distinguish truth from error and whose thoughts are constantly guided by My spirit. You humans, who are still completely ignorant, you need only have the good will to be instructed truthfully, and I will take care of you and also kindle a small light for you, so that you will quickly understand what you now experience through the supply of spiritual knowledge .... you need only not reject it hastily but think about it, and truly, you will be happy when everything is explained to you in an understandable way, you will be able to believe, and yet it will not be blind faith, which I will never demand from you humans .... You are to think, only ask Me Myself for right recognition, and truly, I will send you a bright ray, in whose light you will recognize and understand everything. For this reason I therefore convey My word to earth and enlighten you humans, because I want you to take the path to the cross, to Jesus Christ, which, however, is not to happen through compulsion or blind faith, but you are to come to Him voluntarily and with knowledge .... Then you return to Me voluntarily, because I and Jesus am one, I Myself came to earth in the man Jesus, because of My creatures, which became sinful in free will, which no longer acknowledged Me as their God and creator and therefore became unhappy. If they now acknowledge Me again in Jesus then their return to Me is accomplished, but without Jesus they cannot come closer to Me, and that is why every teaching will be true and start from Me, which substantiates the work of redemption of Jesus Christ for you and only pursues the purpose that you yourselves voluntarily go the way to the cross and ask Him that He redeems you from your original sin and opens the gate to the kingdom of light for you again, which is closed to you since your apostasy from Me ...._>Amen

Truth can only be received from God ....

B.D. 8596 from August 25th 1963, taken from Book No. 90

Much is presented to you as truth which is far from it .... Faith in it is demanded of you, because proofs cannot be produced of things, which reach into the spiritual area. But you will be able to understand that blind faith is of no value for your souls as long as you do not know whether you stand in truth. And since no fellow human being can give you a guarantee for this, you must turn to the one Who Himself is the truth from eternity .... Only He can give you information; only from Him you can attain truth guaranteed, because He knows about everything, and He has the power to give you information about everything, and His love wants it that you walk in truth. For as long as many opinions are still held on earth, as long as no opinion can be substantiated through proof, so long you must doubt yourselves whether that is right what was submitted to you .... And you will also be able to understand that error cannot earn you spiritual benefit because it starts from the opponent of God, but that pure truth is light because the eternal light Itself radiates it. And again, no person will be able to attain truth who is indifferent to it ..... This one remains blind in spirit, for even if truth is offered to him he does not recognize it as such and prefers to remain in error .... But truth is a great gift of favour of God; truth makes free and will always make man happy, and therefore it is also to be earnestly desired and requested and demanded by God Himself, so that man thereby shows that he strives for God Himself, as eternal truth. But then he will also be made happy; he will understand the meaning and purpose of earth life; he will recognize and learn to love God in His nature; he will see himself in the midst of the whole creation as nucleus and praise and glorify God, Who has created everything, Who is his creator, but wants to be his father and therefore let everything come into being that the being, which He once created, reaches the adoption as a child of God, which is to create and work in inexpressible happiness next to and with Him in eternity. But man knows nothing of all this, who has not yet been introduced into truth, and he will also remain ignorant until he desires of his own accord to receive light about it, because he once extinguished this light voluntarily and must now as man on earth light it again voluntarily, i.e. long for light and ignite a light in himself through love activity .... Then he truly no longer needs to walk along in darkness of spirit .... God Himself will instruct him, and he will become knowledgeable .... But no man can claim this of himself who is content with the spiritual knowledge imparted to him on the part of his fellow human beings .... For even if truth is offered to him, he must first enter into intimate contact with God Himself and request enlightenment of spirit from Him in order to recognize truth as such and be delighted by it. But anyone who blindly or unquestioningly accepts knowledge, who believes everything presented to him by his fellow human beings, will continue to live in darkness, he will receive no light, he will only accept worldly knowledge, even if it appears to touch spiritual areas. Such knowledge will not awaken him to life, for as long as he does not live in love himself it will remain dead knowledge of no value to his soul. But love is the light, which is to be kindled in him; love will push man towards God; love establishes the union with God, and love also secures the supply of pure truth for man .... Therefore love is the most important thing if man also wants to walk in truth on earth .... For love is God, and truth is God .... Love awakens the spirit in man to life, and this now instructs .... as part of God .... man from within in all truth. The human being only lives correctly when he works in love. Then also his faith will be alive, and if truth is now presented to him, then he also stands up for it convinced, because he recognizes it as truth. But if you want to fulfil your purpose of earth life, then you must also stand in truth, because then you belong to God, while you are still members of the opponent as long as you walk along in darkness of spirit, which the opponent also wants to keep to prevent your return to God. But who earnestly wants to, he will also reach truth and therefore God and become happy ...._>Amen

Value of "traditions" about Jesus Christ ....

B.D. 8597 from August 26th 1963, taken from Book No. 90

What you have taken over of spiritual material through traditions, that will not help you to a living faith when you do not awaken the spirit to life through an effect of love in you and you therefore now also win the inner conviction of the truth of the spiritual material supplied to you and you will then also recognize where error has crept in .... Pure truth does not remain pure among men, but it is again and again offered to men through My spirit .... He who has not yet awakened his spirit himself accepts everything without hesitation, even if it no longer corresponds to the pure truth, or he rejects the traditions as unprovable, therefore doubtful .... What happened in Jesus' time has only been passed on from person to person, but there is no evidence for it. It is 'handed down' from person to person, and it also goes without saying that it will be passed on again and again in an amended form the less people live in love and are therefore unawakened in spirit .... Since My adversary only ever fights against the truth in order not to lose you humans to Me, he will also again and again ensure that error creeps in, for he can influence the thinking of people who are without love .... And you men of the present time would think completely wrongly if pure truth could not again and again be guided to earth through My spirit, which exposes error and gives men clear, unadulterated knowledge about all events at times of Jesus, about everything what is connected with Jesus and His work of redemption. And again and again pure truth will be presented to men through the spirit, and whether also again and again new redemption periods begin .... Pure truth will give information and again and again be accessible to men when they just let the spirit have an effect in them, when they desire and receive pure truth from Me Myself. For spiritual knowledge cannot be fathomed with the intellect; it can only be given to you through direct illumination, through the pouring out of My spirit into you .... no matter whether the flow touches you directly or indirectly .... Truth always only goes out from Me, but man as such will always make changes as long as his influence is still possible for My opponent .... because of the imperfection of men. And the longer times pass, the more educated is spiritual knowledge and the less conclusive are the reports, which are handed down from man to man. But who only relies on such traditions, he will constantly deviate more from pure truth; he will believe blindly and finally be entangled in a dense undergrowth; he will no longer find his way through error; he will move in a darkness of spirit, which can only be broken through by a light from above, by a ray of My divine love sun, which can only then radiate into a man when he establishes the union of his spirit spark to the father spirit from eternity through love work. Then he will be instructed in pure truth, then he will also attain exact knowledge of the events, which lie long time back; he will also learn everything about Jesus' earth walk, and he will also be able to believe convinced what is submitted to him about it .... For he receives this knowledge from Me Myself as soon as he unites with Me .... My spirit instructs him from within, he needs no worldly teacher, and he will still possess greater knowledge than those who only ever draw their wisdom from traditions and who claim their intellect, however, this can easily be worked on by My adversary, and the human being then represents results of thought which never originated with Me and therefore can lay little claim to truth. Spiritual work in man always guarantees a supply of purest truth, but without such man is neither able to muster a living faith nor to represent clear knowledge, because out of own power he cannot solve such problems, which reach into spiritual area. And if he tries he will only represent error and contribute little to the breaking through of the spiritual darkness which lies over humanity. But who desires that a light shines for him, also about the events which already lie far back, he will also be enlightened about it in all truth, only he has to kindle love in himself, which earns him the awakening of the spirit .... then he also enters into contact with Me Myself, and I can now let My spirit flow into his heart, because he has voluntarily opened it through his desire and his love activity for My ray of love light from eternity ...._>Amen

The human being may not be compelled into believing by way of evidence ....

B.D. 8598 from August 27th 1963, taken from Book No. 90

I don't want to exert pressure on you because you must be able to believe freely and may not be compelled into belief by way of evidence. Nevertheless, with good will it is easy for you procure your own proof if only you allow your heart to speak and not just your intellect alone. If you are therefore pleasingly touched by My Word then you have the evidence already, in which case you should also let your heart speak, and knowing that I only express Myself through the heart you can also be convinced of it, and thus believing will be easy for you. But I must let you keep this freedom, this is why you will never be able to produce a hundred percent proof that you are addressed by the Father directly and yet, the evidence will be within yourselves and with good will you can have inner conviction. But your will to enter into contact with Me must remain completely free, which would not be the case if you .... compelled by proof .... established this contact purely out of fear, if you certainly thought of Me but not with love .... and such mental contact would be worthless for your soul. Therefore it must also be possible for you to reject My Word because you doubt that it is 'My Word' .... For the acceptance depends on a certain degree of love which subsequently enables a person to recognise it as My Word, and thus My Word will only find admission to a person's heart where love has already been kindled, but then one can no longer speak of spiritual compulsion through the Word .... Yet where there is insufficient love, the Word is not conclusive enough to be nevertheless accepted. Hence it is left up to every person what he makes of My Word; but it nevertheless remains a great help for a person to find the right attitude towards Me in the first place, if he thinks the Word through, if he, for once, occupies himself with such thoughts which My Word can inspire in him .... If the human being regards it as a human thought product and examines it in good will for its value as such, he begins to think about it and can thereby also attain the right attitude towards Me if he recognises a God above himself and makes mental contact with Me, nevertheless, this always presupposes good will .... otherwise no such examination will take place and My Word will fade away unheeded ....

This also explains why so few people feel affected when My Word from above is conveyed to them by My messengers, because not many people have the will and desire to attain Me and because only a few people lead a life of love .... Thus My Words will only remain hollow words to which they pay no attention even if it is conveyed to them. On the other hand, however, it should not give cause for My vineyard labourers to tire in their work for Me and My kingdom .... For time and again individual people will feel themselves addressed by Me, and these few will be saved from ruin .... And for the sake of these few I will still delay My Judgment which, according to people's spiritual state, would be long overdue already, but I will not divert from the day I have designated for the end from the start. Until the end, souls will still repeatedly be found which will detach themselves from My adversary's chains, to whom I can still speak in the last hour and who will also be so affected by My Word that they will change and grant Me their will. But this will always comes about without any coercion to believe, for what might even be seen as evidence will not be regarded by them as such, and only a person full of love and spiritually awakened cannot doubt anymore, because the 'working of the spirit' alone is proof for him that it is true what I convey to people, and because they find it quite natural that the Father speaks to His children .... so that they need no other proof in order to believe with conviction. But the spiritually awakened and loving person will also recognise every error as such, for the light is in him and illuminates his thinking .... Nor will he allow himself to be deceived by wrong spiritual knowledge which originates as deceptive light from My adversary, who would always like to work in the same setting and will also dazzle those again who have no real bond with Me and are therefore easily taken in by My opponent if they don't defend themselves against his influence with a strong desire for truth .... He will not be able to deceive these, for the desire for truth is synonymous with the desire for Me, and I will truly not let them fall prey to error, for I want to bring light to wherever spiritual darkness still exists .... I want to penetrate the darkness and not increase it, and I will certainly succeed where the person desires light ....

Amen

God Himself conveys the truth to people ....

B.D. 8599 from August 28th 1963, taken from Book No. 90

With immense happiness I convey the truth to you humans .... with immense happiness I inform you of the true purpose of your existence, about the cause and ultimate goal of your life on this earth .... For only if you are enlightened about it will you begin to live consciously and also strive towards the goal. Before that you are spiritually dead and every day is lost to you although it could, with the right will, lead you towards the goal. But you humans don't want to believe that your God and Creator, your Father of eternity, is speaking to you Himself and that you therefore may also accept that the information is true ....Nor do you consider that I Am a God of love and that love wants to give you everything you need in order to reach your goal on earth. And your goal is your final return to Me, from Whom you once emerged and voluntarily distanced yourselves .... And therefore you also ought to know the circumstances relating to your earthly existence, furthermore, you ought to know how you should live your earthly life so that you can achieve success. For the whole of your earthly progress can also be to no avail and I want to prevent that. I Am the Light of eternity ....

The light is brightly radiating. You yourselves are still walking in dark regions for you are completely ignorant and unaware .... For this reason I want to let My light shine into this darkness and, truly, it will make you happy to receive the knowledge which corresponds to the truth. For you can also be wrongly educated by your fellow human beings who don't have the right information themselves. But in that case the darkness surrounding you will not be penetrated because they are deceptive lights which don't radiate brightness and only confuse your thinking. I instruct you gladly and you can receive an explanation about everything providing you meet My condition that you are serious about wanting to know the pure truth .... You only have to muster this will and then entrust yourselves to Me Who, being Truth Himself, can also guide you into the truth .... And truly, you will be taught and receive knowledge in abundance which will make you very happy .... Everything will be comprehensible to you, every question will be answered and the light of day will be within you, you will have stepped out of the spiritual night and enjoy the light which illuminates your spirit. But you will only request the pure truth if love has been kindled in you .... For love, light and truth belong together; one without the other is unthinkable .... A heartless person will not ask for the truth from Me and will never ever ask for a light ....

However, anyone who lives a life of love also wants to escape the darkness .... and the fire of love emanates the light of wisdom .... everyone who is lovingly active will become knowledgeable, for I Am Love Myself, and a person who consciously allows for it will be educated by Me through the spirit .... And the more illuminating knowledge I can bestow upon you, the more I delight in the spiritual state of people who have escaped the night and thereby also the prince of darkness, who would like to keep all people in spiritual darkness so that they will be unable to recognise Me .... their God and Creator. But since I Am Love, since you all emerged from My love, I only ever want to make you happy. Yet this necessitates your unity with Me, it necessitates your will to draw close to Me again, and then you will also accept My gifts of grace, you will allow yourselves to be taught by Me and fulfil My will, which I proclaim to you through these instructions. Thus you voluntarily take the path which leads you back to Me, from Whom you once originated, because you already have a light within yourselves which illuminates the right path for you .... since due to My instructions you have gained realisation and know about the meaning and purpose of your earthly life. And the truth from Me will please you, you will request Me to speak to you if only you believe that I Am addressing you. And this belief will come alive in you through love .... Thus you only need to live a life of selfless neighbourly love and you will thereby intimately unite with Me, so that I can speak to you and guide you into the truth, as I have promised you ....

Amen

Jesus' act of Salvation was the beginning of a new phase in the work of return ....

B.D. 8600 from August 29th 1963, taken from Book No. 90

When the human being Jesus died on the cross a new phase in the work of My living creations' return began, for until then all people were still living in the spiritual darkness that My adversary had spread across all fallen spirits .... All human beings were still afflicted by the original sin and no one was able to approach Me since My justice did not allow it until the original sin had been redeemed. However, countless people had already walked across earth and amongst them were also a few of good will but without enough strength of their own to release themselves from My adversary, since they all had been unable to establish the right kind of contact with Me due to their lack of love ....

They were controlled by selfish love as a sign of their affiliation with My adversary .... And neither did they know the cause for their earthly existence, their apostasy from Me .... they were spiritually utterly ignorant yet in a worldly sense extremely busy, and therefore they forever endeavoured to gain advantages at other people's expense .... They lacked selfless love through which they could have attained a higher state of maturity. Although the few exceptions in fact sensed their spiritual hardship and also acknowledged a God and Creator above themselves they did not recognise Me as a God of love, but only as a God of vengeance and wrath. People would never have been able to progress in their spiritual development; they would always and forever have stayed the same selfish generation which was unable to attain higher awareness as long as the burden of the original sin pushed it down .... My adversary would always have kept people on the ground if a Saviour had not arrived for the sake of the few who felt wretched and in their distress had called for a Saviour.

And a possibility to establish a connection with Me was indeed meant to be created again one day which, however, should now apply to the Father .... People should be able to call like children to the Father, whereas before they had only recognised in their God and Creator a Power they refused to bow down to, because they still harboured this opposition against Me as result of their past original sin .... A relationship of love should become possible again between the living creations and Myself which, however, had to be established by people themselves through their willingness to love. But prior to Jesus' crucifixion a human being was only very rarely willing to love and then he was excessively tortured by My adversary .... so that he almost despaired of My existence. But knowing his will I helped him and took him from earth ....

Jesus Christ's act of Salvation brought an era of people's greatest distance from Me to an end .... His crucifixion atoned for the original sin of all fallen beings, and now, in the stage of human beings, they are able to establish the right kind of relationship with Me again if, with the help of Jesus Christ, they live a life of love, if they release themselves from the adversary's shackles through the blood He shed on the cross and thus see in Me the Father and are urged towards Me by love .... towards the relationship they once voluntarily severed and thereby became wretched. Jesus' death on the cross brought humanity's hopeless state to an end .... A new era began where the human being only needed to take the path to Jesus in order to be guided out of My adversary's dark domain .... where the gate into the kingdom of light was opened again too .... It was now for the human being possible again that he could change himself, so that he could shape his nature into love, so that he could become again what he had been before his apostasy from Me ....

The first redeemed souls returned to Me, I was able to admit them into My kingdom of light and bliss, which would never have been possible if Jesus had not redeemed the original sin through His death on the cross .... For I Am .... as supremely perfect .... also righteous and therefore could not cancel an unredeemed guilt. Much time had passed when people almost broke down under the burden of sin yet did not recognise their guilt and therefore repeatedly revolted against Me, Whom they could not deny as a 'Power' but to Whom they did not surrender with love. For they once rejected love, and all they had left was mere selfish love .... the wrongly directed love transferred to them by My opponent. Hence, in their nature they still belonged to him entirely .... And this nature first had to change, which was only possible after Jesus' crucifixion, Who acquired for them the will and the strength to rise and relinquish their selfish love .... All these were purely spiritual processes, for in an earthly-human sense they certainly had an enjoyable and good life, yet no one had any consideration for his fellow human being, instead everyone just thought of himself, and the strong person oppressed the weak who was unable to defend himself, because My adversary delighted in seeing the wretched state of the souls he had plunged into the abyss, for he himself was completely without love but full of hatred and animosity .... And his nature also reflected itself in people's nature .... Anyone who was strong likewise oppressed other people and knew no mercy for he had no love, just like his lord .... the lord of darkness .... was without love.

Jesus, however, tried to guide people onto the right path through love. Jesus lived and taught love and demonstrated to them that love was a strength which even defeated the adversary, and that people can only release themselves from him through love. Thus the human being Jesus had exemplified a life of love for the first time for people, and then He accomplished the greatest work of love and mercy by sacrificing Himself on the cross on behalf of humanity's sins, so that they would be set free and through a right kind of life attain strength and light again in order to then travel the last path into their true home, which Jesus had preceded through His death on the cross .... Whom they now only needed to follow in order to enter My kingdom in a liberated state, returning to Me into the Father's house, to the Father from Whose love they had emerged and in Whose love they will now stay forever ....

Amen

Only servant love leads to perfection ....

B.D. 8601 from August 30th 1963, taken from Book No. 90

In every phase of your ascent development you had to serve, because every work of creation had its purpose and its destiny; nothing has been created senselessly by the creative power, which wanted to lead the once fallen beingness up again. As man you certainly cannot everywhere recognize a serving purpose, but the creator Himself let Himself be determined by His wisdom and love to assign a task to all His creations, through the fulfilment of which always only the purpose was reached that the spiritual bound in it reached up step by step. Therefore the beingness in the mandatory state covers an endless long way of development, as this has already been announced to you men many times. But only that can be decisive for the last perfection, what is accomplished by the being in free will; only the serving as man is decisive of the once fallen being in the stage of free will. Man must serve in love, then he becomes active in free will according to the will of God and comes to perfection still on earth. Love will always express itself in serving .... because love always makes an effort to make the object of love happy, to help it. And serving love is a pure divine love; it is not directed wrongly as once that it only satisfied itself, but it always only has the well-being of the neighbour as its aim and therefore always expresses itself in serving .... What now man undertakes in serving love will always be blessed and always lead to the last perfection. But if he neglects works of serving neighbourly love, then he irrevocably remains on the same level of his development, and there is also the danger that his self-love increases and he sinks back, that his earth life is an idle run, because he is no longer forced as man .... Anyone who serves in selfless love also fulfils divine will, and he approaches his God and creator again, because serving love is also evidence of humility, because the human being now no longer exalts himself, which once caused his fall .... The whole of creation serves, albeit in a state of compulsion, and the once fallen spiritual now covers the path to God in this state of compulsion, but in this state it cannot reach the final aim, which has free will as its prerequisite, otherwise the being would eternally remain a judged being and would no longer correspond to the original state, where it was freely exposed and could freely create and have an effect .... It must absolutely receive this freedom again and now exactly again move in divine will, although it can also use its will wrongly. And man has to make this decision during his earth life to become again what he was in the beginning. Therefore he is to serve .... And that requires a putting back of self-love, a forming of oneself to unselfish, divine love, which always only wants to make happy .... what is not easy for man at first, but can be achieved during earth life, because all aids are offered to him that his self-love changes and man only still thinks of his neighbour and through this also proves love towards God and therefore approaches Him again, as he once moved away from Him in free will. And whether you men also believe to perfect yourselves by performing acts and customs .... as long as these do not consist of works of serving neighbourly love, they are worthless before God and do not contribute to your upward development. You can only perfect yourselves through serving love, because this alone testifies to your free will to return to God. And He will also again and again create opportunities for you where you are prompted to serving love, where you can stand by the neighbour in spiritual and in earthly trouble, where you can help, comfort and protect all who get into trouble and cannot free themselves from it. The earthly progress before through all creations was certainly difficult and sorrowful, but you certainly reached ascent through it, because you were prompted by natural law to be of service .... But in the stage as man it is far more difficult for you, because you must overcome yourselves, your free will must become active to do what you were forced to do before through natural law .... You must serve .... but are no longer forced to do so, but your will alone decides .... And therefore you also bear a great responsibility for your earthly life as a human being .... you can sink back again but also reach the highest height .... you can unite with the eternal love Itself through serving love, and then your aim will have been reached on earth, you will have found union with your God and creator, you will return as children to the father from Whom you once originated as creatures ...._>Amen

Mediators are under God's protection ....

B.D. 8602 from August 31th 1963, taken from Book No. 90

Everything you do for Me and My kingdom will bring you salvation, because I need you, My servants on earth .... When I assign you a job then I know that it is necessary, and when you now comply with My will then My blessing will also always rest on it, after all My love is only constantly intent on helping men that they fulfil their purpose of life on earth and reach their aim. Human hearts are to be compared with fallow fields, which are therefore to be made arable, which are to receive good seed, which comes up and bears fruit. And you are to do this work of a good farmer; you are to accept My instructions as obedient servants and receive delicious seed from Me, which you then scatter into the hearts of men, as soon as they have become willing to receive it. Consider that all men only stay on earth for the purpose that they mature in their souls, that I Myself set this task for them and that I therefore will also do everything that a fulfilment of this task is possible. And to this belongs that men are informed to what they go over earth .... And therefore I Myself have to speak to them through the mouth of men and enlighten them about everything because they cannot hear My voice directly before they have not reached a certain maturity of soul. And I always choose such men as mediators for Me, who possess that degree of maturity, so that they are able to hear My speech, and who are now also prepared to pass it on .... who therefore serve Me as servants in My vineyard. What is now more obvious than that those servants will also enjoy My protection in every way? Every single soul is valuable to Me, and I do not like to lose it to My opponent .... thus everything will also be done from My side to prevent the latter, but people always have to be ready as mediators because I cannot influence people directly due to their freedom of will. And so I am with everyone who voluntarily offers himself to Me for service, and his earth life way is completely under My protection .... That he himself is also to prove himself in tests from time to time, that again only contributes to his own perfection, because he also can increase his degree of light during earth life. But he enjoys My protection as long as I need his service for Me, because there are not many who want to and can fulfil such a task, since the time of the end has dawned, where My opponent has great power and he lets off steam, where strong counter forces have to be at work to invalidate (diminish) his work and to withdraw fellowmen from his influence. And these strong counter forces are again men in whom souls could embody themselves from above because of a spiritual mission and who therefore also reached that necessary degree of maturity on earth that they could take over this mission. And their earth course will also last so long until I Myself see that the mission is fulfilled .... Because the intimate bond of My servant on earth with Me will always earn so much supply of strength that he is up to his task, because nothing is by chance, everything is wanted or allowed by Me, but always recognized by My wisdom as good and successful .... And I will always be able to be recognized visibly as father of the house, Who embraces His own with His love care and makes them able to be active according to His will. And in this believing confidence they are therefore also to carry out the work, which I assign to them; they are to pay attention to the inner voice, which will give them the right instructions, because I Myself express Myself through the heart, and man will then feel urged from the inside to do or to omit what is My will. You, My servants, are therefore to administer your office in firm faith in My help, which you have voluntarily taken over; you are not to worry, because I take over all your worries, be they of spiritual or earthly kind, because you have offered yourselves to be active for Me, and thus your entire earthly existence will proceed as it corresponds to My love and wisdom, because only I know who does the right vineyard work for Me, and I bless his earthly progress so that it will have a successful effect on people whom I want to rescue from utmost spiritual hardship ...._>Amen

The atheist's fate ....

B.D. 8603 from September 1st 1963, taken from Book No. 90

It is the adversary's greatest triumph if he totally dissuades a person from having faith in a God Who brought the world into existence and also created himself .... Then he will have achieved what he wanted, to displace God completely from the human being's thoughts. Then he need no longer fear to lose him. Yet a person who completely denies a God is generally also an unkind person in life, therefore the adversary is able to influence him, while a person with just a spark of love left can still gain the realisation that a spiritually tangible Power exists Which determines his destiny and on Which he is dependent. The former, however, is wholeheartedly attached to the world. Nothing else exists for him apart from this earthly world, and he believes that he will cease to exist and return into nothingness again after his physical death, as a result he will take whatever earthly life offers him. And although such a person can possess sharp intellect he will be misguided by God's adversary, he will even arrogate himself to quote substantiations which intend to shatter the belief in a God. He will try to explain that all creations arose from a natural power .... However, he will refuse to accept the fact that this natural power must be an intelligent Being in possession of will, and his thinking will continue to be wrong and confused as long as he fails to kindle a small light within himself through kind-hearted actions .... which, however, are completely unknown to him. Thus he will still be totally enchained by the adversary. And therefore an atheist will almost certainly approach a renewed banishment, for he will completely fail in his last decision on earth. He will still be as opposed to God as he was when he apostatised from God, he will belong to the adversary and in the end will also have to share his fate .... Such a person cannot be intellectually enlightened either because he does not want to believe and will therefore also dismiss all spiritual knowledge as imagination and fantasy ....

Trying to convey spiritual knowledge to this person would be entirely futile, for God's adversary is his lord and he will never allow him to become enlightened, he will always keep him in profound darkness and let the world's deceptive lights appear the more brightly to him, so that the person will be totally incapable of accepting spiritual knowledge. The adversary will have taken complete possession of him and will no longer let go of him either. But in earthly life it is only important that the once fallen original spirit will now acknowledge God in the stage of a human being .... that his original sin will be taken from him, which can only happen through Jesus Christ, Whom he must acknowledge and Whose act of Salvation he has to profess, then he will also acknowledge God Himself Who, in Jesus, accomplished the act of atonement for his original sin .... But for as long as the human being lives his earthly life entirely without faith he will remain burdened by his guilt and will never ever be able to enter the spiritual kingdom but will have to endure the process of development through the creations of earth in horrendous pain for an infinitely long time again. For even in the kingdom of the beyond it will not be possible to change an atheist's mind and to persuade him to surrender his resistance to God because, like on earth, he remains closed to all instructions, and he cannot be enlightened against his will. However, were only a person on earth who believes himself to be unable to have faith seriously interested in knowing the truth as to whether a spiritually tangible God and Creator exists .... then the efforts would truly not be in vain, for then he would keep thinking about it and also achieve a different result by intellectual means, for enough evidence exists within Creation which could change his mind .... But even such people will time and again receive blessings, time and again they will be given small gestures of support, for God's love also pursues these people and tries to win them over for Himself, time and again He offers His hand to them which they need only take hold of so that they would subsequently be able to release themselves from the adversary's control. Nevertheless, his will shall never be forced, and therefore the person determines his own future fate and will have to take the path across earth in a constrained state again, because this complies with the law of eternal order ....

Amen

Responsibility before worldly power ....

B.D. 8604 from September 2nd 1963, taken from Book No. 90

"And in the world you will be hated for My name's sake ...." As soon as you stand up for Me and My kingdom you will also have many opponents, for people will always turn away more and more from the faith, they will always be more in bondage to the world and thus to My adversary, and they will always hate My followers and seek to corrupt them. But you stand under My protection .... The work for Me is so urgently necessary in the last time before the end that I will certainly also protect My servants who take care of this work because I also possess power over My opponent, and he will not be able to harm you as long as I hold My hands protectively over you, but you are also to know that you will not remain unhindered, that you will be exposed to hostilities, but which you overcome with My help. My adversary will seek to extinguish the light that exposes him, and he will always find enough followers who will do his bidding and take action against you, who will harass you wherever and however they can. People's unbelief also impels them to hostile all who stand in faith .... You certainly do not harm them, even if you offer them My word, but they are driven by My opponent and will therefore show hatred and scorn towards you, because you stand up for Me, because you preach love, which is no longer present among men .... And you will also be called to account by the worldly power, which wants to forbid you your work. But even then you need not be afraid because I will put the words into your mouth, and your opponents will not be able to answer you .... although they persist in spitefulness and seek to intimidate you through threats. But you, who are active on My behalf, will not come to harm through these opponents, because I know to guide you so that you escape their hostilities and still can work in silence for Me and My kingdom. Because there are still many souls, which need your help, which I still want to address through you and which exactly through those enemies become attentive and demand enlightenment. And also from those ranks individual men can detach themselves from the opposition and feel addressed .... Because you will always work for a blessing when you are active for Me and My kingdom .... And if you see no success with men, then this is still certain in the kingdom on the other side, and now also the souls will have an effect again from the hereafter on men, who were close to them, as soon as they themselves could first come to the light. I know it that your activity is not in vain, and therefore I will also erect a protective wall around you, behind which you can hide yourselves .... And if you are called to account, then also this need not worry you, because I am constantly around you, My servants on earth, and where the house father Himself is at work, no stranger will be allowed to venture into His area .... Only I want to prepare you for it, so that you then do not become despondent when open hostilities are undertaken against you, because the work of My opponent does not let up until the end has come .... And not only worldly power takes action against you but also on the part of church organisations hostility is announced to you because as long as these have no spiritually awakened leaders they also more or less walk along in error and do not want to accept pure truth. And therefore they will attack those to whom I can express Myself directly .... For what is not known to them themselves they also do not believe, and they are also not willing to depart from their error and accept the pure truth instead .... So they will also attack the bearers of truth and announce enmity to them. Because every error is work of My opponent, and who now represents error, he also belongs to it and will never allow pure truth to apply. And the fight of darkness against the light will always become fiercer the closer the end is .... But you, My servants, will always have the strength to endure until the end, because I will fight with you Myself, and the victory will be ours ...._>Amen

The principle of divine order is love ....

B.D. 8605 from September 3rd 1963, taken from Book No. 90

You must move completely in divine order, then you are again perfect as in the beginning of your being. As long as you still stand outside of this divine order you are defective and cannot join God, Who Himself is highest perfection, from Whom the law of eternal order starts. Everything what does not move in this law will be defective; it will turn into the opposite; it will step out of the state of perfection and therefore also be unhappy. But it remains, because everything that has come forth out of God is imperishable. But what contradicts this eternal law? .... Only unkindness, for the principle of divine order is love .... If the being of love departs, then its nature is reversed .... then all qualities come to light which contradict the once divine being and shape it into a distorted image of God .... which now also loses all qualities inherent in a divine creature .... Then the being becomes similar to him who first opposed the law of divine order, who became the antithesis of God, who has all unpleasant qualities in himself and therefore is also to be addressed as opponent of God. The original element of God is love. All beings have emerged from Him and therefore likewise have love in themselves .... But since eternal love does not force, but leaves freedom to all created beingness, the being itself could also oppose the law of eternal order .... it could think and want in the opposite way, which means as much as that it could step out of the circuit of divine love and changed itself into a being which stood outside of divine order .... It did this, it became loveless, because it no longer accepted the divine love illumination .... It became a completely different being than it had originally emerged from God .... And as long as it therefore moves outside of divine order it is distant from God and unhappy .... But it can change again at any time to the former perfect being, which it originally was. But this always requires a voluntary submission to the divine law .... it requires a completely changed thinking and wanting .... it requires a change of love in free will. Then the being again incorporates itself into the law of divine order and can again approach God and finally merge completely with Him. But the approach to God, the union with Him alone is happiness; what is away from God is unhappy, because love alone gives happiness and bliss. Without love on the other hand the being moves in an unhappy state, exactly because it is outside of divine order. But love is free, it cannot be forced from a being, yet every being has a divine spark of love within itself as soon as it walks across earth as a human being for the purpose of final testing .... And this spark of love makes it possible that the human being can completely change into love again if he wants it .... All beingness must voluntarily enter the state of perfection, for this also belongs to the law of divine order, because only that is valued to which man decides in free will .... And love remains supreme law and will remain so until all eternity .... Bliss is guaranteed through love alone, because lack of love is not part of God but belongs to His adversary, who stepped out of the eternal order and will also remain in his loveless state for eternal times, but that is why also all wretchedness starts from him. Everything is done from God to lead His creatures to perfection, what however presupposes the voluntary return to Him, which only love brings about. Again and again men are told .... those beings which once stepped out of order .... love is preached to people and God's will is announced to them so that they can accomplish the change to love of their own free will. But then he also safely reaches highest happiness, because he has entered divine will and now also again dwells in the love-current-circle .... that he is continuously flowed through by love-power and can create and work in happiness .... But without love this happiness can never be expected because without love the being is property of the opponent of God; without love it is in the defence of the divine love power current; it is darkened and powerless and therefore also unhappy because it is far from God. And its state will remain so, and if it lasts eternities, because God cannot and will not depart from the law of eternal order, because He Himself is most perfect and also all beings must be perfect to be able to unite with Him to eternal happiness ...._>Amen

God is seen in creation ....

B.D. 8606 from September 4th 1963, taken from Book No. 90

Everything around you should prove to you an exceedingly loving and wise creator, but you only look at creation with dead eyes; you do not see the life, which flows through everything; you often do not know about purpose and destiny of the individual works of creation; you cannot see through them to all subtleties, and therefore you take everything for granted, and you do not recognize the perfection of Him, Who let everything come into being. You yourselves live in the midst of a work of creation and walk carelessly along without asking yourselves what purpose the whole of creation could possibly have. And you yourselves are the crown of creation .... you are self-aware, thinking beings with vitality and free will, you can make use of creation according to your will, you can be creatively active yourselves, you can research and also subjugate forces of nature to yourselves. You can truly be regarded as masters of creation, for it was created for you that it might fulfil its purpose .... But you do not know the meaning and purpose of creation, you do not know that greater than great love let it come into being because you humans are supposed to mature in it, as well as every work of creation itself has a spiritual purpose .... You do not know that God's wisdom recognized everything what served this task, and that His power also carried out everything what love and wisdom decided. But the assignment of the whole creation is the return of all once fallen spiritual, and you men are in the last stage of this process of return, while everything what you see around you still goes its course in the different stages, but in the end also has to end the course on earth as man. Since you now possess the ability to be able to think, everything what surrounds you should also let you recognize a creator of it, a being, Which can think and want like you, but stands in highest perfection. For you are the most highly developed work of creation on earth, thus the creator must surpass all that in perfection which He Himself has created .... But He must be a being, since all His works of creation, because created for a purpose, presuppose the ability to think and a will, and .... because you yourselves are self-aware .... this supreme being must also be a self-aware spirit Which works in love and wisdom .... All this should let you recognize creation, and therefore it should not be difficult to mentally join this creator and to acknowledge Him as exceedingly perfect. But mostly you men blindly pass by everything what proves a creator to you. You have no desire to fathom what purpose creation could have; you look at everything with worldly directed senses; you resign yourselves to the fact to live in the midst of creation, and you desire no closer information about its reason and purpose. Yet again and again your thoughts are directed into spiritual territory, for thought activity is also a means to find your God and creator. Again and again you will be prompted to think, and you will be surrounded by waves of thoughts which flow towards you from the spiritual kingdom, which also belong to the greatest miracles of divine creative power .... and can be accepted or rejected by yourselves, since you possess free will. But it is the last stage in the process of return, and this is to be used well to successfully bring the process to an end. And since the aim in earth life is the voluntary union with God, everything is done from His side to direct the thoughts of man towards Him, Who is both his creator as well as his father, because the being emerged from His love in the beginning. And when the creation surrounding him does not bring about that man thinks about it and learns to recognize a God and creator, his fate of life must cause him to it, which then can indeed also be very sorrowful, but can still bring man on the way to God .... but then also the aim is reached, on which his happiness depends in the spiritual kingdom. For every person knows that his stay on this earth is not eternal .... But that he cannot pass away, only few believe. And for those then the lot will be dreadful, who did not want to acknowledge a God and creator despite all aids, which were given to man in earth life. Because man can recognize God when he only wants it himself. But he cannot be forced to it because his perfection can only be reached in free will. Every man can recognize a power over him, and he should connect himself with this power and seek to make it inclined towards Him. Then his earth course will truly not be in vain; the process of return will be finished, which has needed eternal times and still has to be carried out by every once fallen being ...._>Amen

The strength of prayer ....

B.D. 8607 from September 5th 1963, taken from Book No. 90

You should test the strength of prayer far more often in order to recognise your Father's love increasingly more, for I will always give you what you ask of Me in firm faith, and when you find out that I hear you and that My love gives to you according to your faith, you will feel ever more closely connected to Me. You should always know that prayer is the bridge to reach Me, for in prayer you establish the bond with Me and My strength of love can take effect in you. By praying to Me you acknowledge Me as your God and Creator Who can grant your prayer because He has the power to do so and, as Father, also wants to grant your prayer because He loves you. However, it must be a prayer in spirit and in truth, for your lips can also voice words in the form of a prayer which cannot reach My ear because they do not arise to Me from the bottom of your heart. So many thoughts move you every day, you have so many wishes, some greater and some smaller ones, and you would only ever have to present them to Me, and truly, I would take care of even the smallest matter if you appeal to Me for it, then you would become progressively more aware of My presence and your life on earth would be much easier. Time and again I want to be in your thoughts, everything you do you should have something to do with Me and you should be in constant contact with Me through prayer .... Never cease praying .... This does not refer to the constant formal prayers which will only ever be voiced by your mouth but never come forth from your heart .... Yet you should seek My advice in everything you think and do, then you will lead a way of life according to My will, always being guided by Me and motivated into every action, which will then also be right. As Father I want your absolute trust in My love and power .... My love will never deny itself, yet you must desire it yourselves, which a true prayer in humility testifies to. And even if you start every undertaking with just a thought of Me, or a request you present to Me, I always want to prove My presence to you by getting involved with everything, for this heartfelt bond results in an abundance of strength and is also the successful test of will, because you are continuously urged towards Me, thus you seek unification with Me which you once broke off. You can achieve much with your prayer, for yourselves as well as for all those on whose behalf you intercede. Your prayer is a source of strength for yourselves and for your fellow human beings which will never run dry, for you shall pray 'incessantly' .... Hence, there are no limitations for you, and since every contact with Me assures you an influx of strength, you need not fear a cessation of strength .... for you will join Me ever more closely until you can no longer imagine a life without Me. I want to be your beginning and your end, no day shall pass by when you will not come to Me in prayer and appeal for My blessing .... And truly, your earthly progress will lead you to the goal, to complete union with Me. Use the strength of prayer, enter the bridge to Me as often as possible for you, never keep Me out of your thoughts, present all your requests to Me, regardless of how small, for I want to prove to you that I know all your thoughts, problems and wishes by always intervening and guiding you out of all adversity, by being your constant companion, for even the slightest thought will draw Me to you and My love will flow to you, which will always help you to progress. And anyone who is in constant contact with Me will not be scared by what is happening in the world either, he is staying in My sphere, for although he still lives in the midst of the world, his soul has completely detached itself from the world, because it is always looking for Me, because My presence means more to it than all the possessions in the world ....

Acquiring virtues ....

B.D. 8608 from September 6th 1963, taken from Book No. 90

You ought to practise patience and make an effort of cultivating a life of peacefulness and gentleness in mercy and righteousness and humility, in which case you will also always live a life of love, for love alone will shape you such that you will acquire all these virtues, that you will endeavour to treat your neighbour with love and therefore live according to My will. And precisely that which I expect of you will be lacking in you as long as you are still controlled by My adversary. And you can also recognise to whom you belong if you seriously scrutinise yourselves as to what you still need to become perfect. For you possessed these virtues in your perfect state when you still belonged to Me and were blissfully happy .... By turning away from Me you changed yourselves into the opposite, all the bad characteristics awakened in you when you accepted My adversary's nature who lacked all love .... You shall reach perfection again in earthly life and therefore must also cast off all negative attributes and adopt your fundamental nature again; you must live a life of love which will awaken all virtues in you so that you will become divine living creations again. Yet this will always require an inner battle until you discard your initial nature, for time and again you will be provoked by My adversary into impatience, contentiousness and a quick-tempered nature, time and again he will want to harden your hearts, to obscure your sense of justice and prompt you to become arrogant, for he does not want you to become perfect but keep hold of you as beings like himself whom he can dominate. Yet you will have to wage this battle, for every ascent requires force towards the one who keeps you constrained. And you can become victorious if you hand yourselves over to Me in Jesus, if you appeal to Me to help you become again what you were in the beginning.

You must always consciously work on yourselves, you must recognise when you have failed and relapsed into your old mistakes, and you must repeatedly request strength from Me for the transformation of your nature. Then I will recognise that your will is sincere and I will truly help you in reaching your goal. Most of all you must discard all arrogance, overcome all faults, because then you will also recognise them as faults once the arrogance has given way .... And as soon as you live with love this love will also encourage you to change your nature, then you won't be able to help yourselves but think righteously, to let mercy prevail, to also quietly and patiently endure your fellow human beings' failings and you will try to gently influence your neighbour if you want to help him accomplish his change of nature like yourselves .... As soon as all divine qualities break through in you again due to love you will also safely reach your goal of unification with Me, which can only take place with a similar being as Myself, because this is based on My law of eternal order .... Time and again you should exercise self-criticism as to how much control the adversary still has over you and influences you. And you should always resist him when he wants to tempt you into reverting into faults which you endeavour to discard. One thought of Me and he must let go of you and can no longer oppress you .... It is just that you have to muster the serious will of accomplishing this transformation of your soul, for you will be approached by temptations every day, often motivated by your neighbour who is impelled by the adversary to agitate you so that you fall back into you old mistakes. And time and again you will have to prove yourselves, yet as soon as you prevail, as soon as you consciously work at improving yourselves, a glorious reward will also beckon you, for earthly life does not last long but the spiritual kingdom will grant you a blissful life and you will be able to work in light and strength and freedom with Me again, for your nature will have become like My own again which will also signifies an eternal unity, for you then will have become as perfect even as your Father in heaven is perfect ....

Amen

Reason for the work of transformation ....

B.D. 8609 from September 7th 1963, taken from Book No. 90

You will find it increasingly more understandable that a tremendous change will have to happen, which will involve people's spiritual as well as their earthly life .... For the state they have reached can only be improved by a massive intervention, and although this will take place in an earthly way it will also result in a spiritual change .... For everything has become disorderly, people's spiritual development has come to a standstill and in many cases even a decline can be noticed, hence the earth is barely fulfilling its purpose anymore and needs to go through a transformation .... lawful order has to be restored again, all spiritual substances must be allocated the place which corresponds to their degree of maturity or development. And people must especially integrate themselves into the right order again if they are to reach the goal one day: to become perfect according to their purpose .... Were you humans able to have an overview of the spiritual as well as the earthly chaos which presently prevails on earth, you, too, would realise that the only way out is a huge change, yet for the most part you are spiritually unenlightened and have no idea about your actual purpose of existence. This is already part of the low spiritual level, for you do nothing to obtain a little light as to why you live on earth. And you also reject your fellow human beings when they want to enlighten you of it. Everything has become disorderly because people's free will itself revokes the order, with the result that all still developing spiritual substances are unable to make progress, since people prevent their being of service and yet they can only advance by way of being of service .... Therefore divine order has to be restored again one day, and everything must fit in with this law .... People must voluntarily live in divine order, then they will also help the spiritual substances still bound within the works of creation to fulfil their serving function, they will be used appropriately and thereby slowly ascend too. Anyone who is spiritually enlightened, who, through a life of love, has awakened the spirit within him to life, will recognise the urgent situation and will also fully understand the work of transformation, which will shortly be carried out on earth, for he knows that there is no other way out, he knows that all spirits are in the midst of a process of return, that this has come to a halt and that something urgently needs to happen so that this process can continue with promising results.

The time granted for the spiritual beings' development has come to an end, and thus all that which failed when it reached the state of free will must start the process of development again according to its degree of maturity, whereas the still bound spiritual substance will enter into new forms, also in line with its degree of maturity. This, therefore, necessitates a total transformation of Earth, the termination of all life, the dissolution of all external covers which still held the spiritual beings captive, and a complete redevelopment, the emergence of new creations. And this new work of creation will also be inhabited by people again who had reached full maturity on the old earth, who had remained faithful to their God and Creator even during their worst temptations through God's adversary, who remained faithful to Him until the end .... until they were lifted away in order to be returned to Earth again as the root of a new human race .... You humans are facing this enormous transformation, and you are told time and again to prepare yourselves for it .... so that you will not belong to those whose fate will be a renewed banishment into the creations of the earth .... And if you only have a glimmer of faith in a God and Creator, then pray to Him that He may save you from this fate, and He will truly grant your prayer .... If you are unable to believe, that is, if you are not convinced of an end, then at least take the possibility into account and live your life on earth accordingly, for the time which is still granted to you until the end will pass by quickly and you should and still can use this time well if only you didn't reject the thoughts in you which keep reminding you of that which is proclaimed to you through your fellow human beings .... Live as if the next day would be your last, and truly, you will not get lost .... And only pay attention to what is happening in the world and around you, and you yourselves will realise that the only successful solution is for everything to be replaced .... that a new Earth has to be created, so that the spiritual development can be continued again with a favourable outcome ....

Amen

Through the working of the spirit light is given to man ....

B.D. 8610 from September 8th 1963, taken from Book No. 90

What the spirit teaches you is truth and can therefore be convincingly represented as such .... I say: what it teaches you .... i.e., he must open up a knowledge for you which you did not possess before .... You literally have to be led out of the state of ignorance into the state of brightest knowledge, then you can say that My spirit has taught you, that therefore I Myself have spoken through the spirit spark in you and then there can also be no error, because the spirit in you knows about everything, since it is My share .... This I emphasize again and again that I want to bring light to you men, that I want to supply you with knowledge, which enlightens you about everything what reaches into spiritual area. They are not empty words without deep meaning, they are not sayings which are already known to you, which My spirit imparts to you, even if it reminds you, as I have promised, of what I Myself have told you .... remember what I Myself told you when I walked on earth .... For also these once spoken words of Mine will be explained to you in detail; a right light will also be brought to you about these words, how they are to be understood .... You must always know that the earth is a dark area, that men have little or no knowledge at all, for what occasion and for what purpose they go over the earth .... and that I Myself, as the eternal light, also want to shine light into this darkness, that I want to give people an enlightenment which shall now determine them to also lead a right way of life .... And therefore I want to instruct them; I want to send them information about all connections, which they cannot find themselves, but which also only I Myself can impart truthfully and this therefore has to happen through the voice of the spirit .... that I Myself can work through My spirit in man. A comprehensive knowledge now, which man possesses, whose possession he also can prove, is a quite certain sign of the work of My spirit, because from no other side such knowledge can be received, which concerns areas, which are inaccessible to the human intellect alone. "You shall all be taught by God ...." He who is taught, his knowledge will increase .... But it cannot be spoken of "teachings" if man does not receive something which he did not know before, for he is taught for this reason, that his knowledge may increase. He can indeed receive a teaching material from his fellow human being .... but as soon as it concerns deeper knowledge, processes and conditions in the spiritual kingdom which no human being can know about .... the understanding for it must always be made accessible to the human being from Me .... Therefore also he must be instructed by Me, to whom spiritual material is supplied .... the spirit must be able to work in him, otherwise all knowledge will remain incomprehensible to him. You all have to be taught by God if you want to attain the right knowledge. And that you reach knowledge, to light, that alone is necessary for you, but also always a proof of My work in you. Therefore .... when you examine .... always ask yourselves whether you increase in wisdom, whether a light is kindled in you in whose glow you are able to clearly recognize everything .... And only then can you speak of the 'working of the spirit' in man when such a light shines in you .... But if your thinking remains confused or if you are only ever given words which are well known to you but whose meaning is not explained to you in an understandable way, then no divine working can be assumed, instead purely human intellectual thinking produces results which are of no value, because the intellect can err and intellectual results cannot have a good influence on the soul either, for it needs spiritual strength which can only be supplied to it by Me Myself. I know it that you lack light, that you dwell in dark areas and still need light so necessary to find the right way to Me, and that is why it will always be My care to break through the darkness through a bright ray of light, which falls down from Me to earth, and this ray of light goes to you yourselves when you intimately unite with Me and ask for enlightenment of the spirit. Then My spirit radiates into you, then the spirit spark in you is caused to express itself, and then you can be instructed from within, and you will truly receive a bright light; you will be enlightened about your purpose of existence, and your knowledge will increase the more often you establish the union with Me and ask for enlightenment from Me Myself .... Then you will also know that it is I Myself Who instructs you, that the eternal light Itself enlightens you ...._>Amen

Intercession for souls in the beyond .... I.

B.D. 8611 from September 9th 1963, taken from Book No. 90

I repeatedly emphasise that people still live in too much darkness and that therefore a light shall be kindled for them. But much is described as light which is more likely to intensify the darkness. For deceptive lights emerge from My adversary and are transmitted to people by spiritual powers who have no authority to teach but who express themselves where contacts to the spiritual world are established which can be intervened by immature spirits, because the conditions that guarantee the transmission of pure truth do not yet exist .... My adversary will always aim not to lose his followers, and therefore he will try to prevent people from loving activity of any kind. First and foremost he will try to stop the souls from leaving the abyss, from coming out of the darkness into the light of day. Thus he will do whatever it takes in order to prevent the souls being released from the abyss, if they entered the kingdom of the beyond still not having found faith in Jesus Christ. Such souls can only be helped through loving intercession because this means certain rescue from the fall into the abyss, from the worst darkness .... But this is what he wants to prevent people from doing, since loving intercession is the only means to strengthen the will of these unfortunate souls, so that they become receptive to the teachings given to them in the kingdom of the beyond by spiritual guides ....

All unredeemed souls lack the strength to improve their situation. They depend on loving intercession by people which in turn gives them strength without any kind of obligation .... No being will be able to resist love forever, and that is what the adversary wants to prevent ....

If a human being willingly accepts being taught by the spirit within himself, he will always receive truthful clarification .... But if the working of the spirit in the human being is questionable, if he does not receive knowledge from Me directly but from beings in the spiritual kingdom which he cannot control himself, he should be cautious and seriously scrutinise whether the imparted teachings correspond to truth .... For then he can easily become Satan's helper if he spreads spiritual knowledge which contradicts the truth. It is easily verified if a person uses love as a guideline ....

Does it corresponds to My love and wisdom to deny help to an unhappy being? Would I allow a being, which is longing for redemption and light, to remain imprisoned by Satan's claws?

Only the being's will decides whether it accepts help, but help will never be denied, Satan will never be granted this power, for I will never condemn but only ever try to rescue the souls from the abyss. And this salvation .... if the soul itself is too weak .... can only take place by means of strength of love which is imparted to poor souls by people or by the beings of light .... And loving intercession by someone on earth has the effect of strength which benefits the soul and fortifies its will .... but the will of the soul will be complied with. The fact that My act of Salvation is continued in the kingdom of the beyond has its foundation in My immense love for all My living creations .... Time and again I will help the fallen beings to ascend, although I respect their free will.

A person's love on earth for such unredeemed, unhappy souls is a flow of strength which touches the souls and can stimulate their will to accept the instructions which they are also able to receive in the spiritual kingdom, providing them at first with a faint light which will increase in proportion to their willingness to accept instructions. My love has no end, it also applies to these souls, and I will never allow the adversary to stop them when they look for the path to the light .... So I continually entrust these souls to people so that they may remember them in silent intercession and truly, no soul will be lost who is remembered in loving intercession.

Preaching to people the futility of intercession for souls in the beyond is a truly satanic doctrine. This teaching cannot have originated from Me since it is completely contrary to My plan of Salvation, which includes the kingdom of the beyond, and everyone on earth can participate simply through loving intercession ....

Time and again I say to you that you could redeem all inhabitants of hell by virtue of intercession .... For My adversary is powerless in the face of love, love will seize from his hands every soul he would like to keep captive .... Compared to love he has no strength, and thus he wants to stop people from acting with love by lying to you humans about the effectiveness of your loving intercession. And he finds willing people who accept such error and eagerly endorse it as truth .... And if these people considered that their doctrines totally contradict My love and wisdom, they would soon realise their error themselves, for I will always try to redeem and never condemn the souls. And every human being who is willing to love will support Me in this act of Salvation so that I, for the sake of their love, can bestow strength and yet do not act in opposition to the law of eternal order ....

Amen

The decision of the will involves a degree of cognition ....

B.D. 8612 from September 10th 1963, taken from Book No. 90

Only in the stage of free will can you make the last decision for Me or for My opponent, because before in the bound state you are still without I-consciousness; your will is bound, and you act in the law of compulsion; you are determined by Me and My will to every activity. But as man you are again the I-conscious being, which you were in the beginning, only at the beginning of your embodiment still without knowledge; you are completely blind in spirit. But a free decision of will presupposes a degree of knowledge: You must know about Me and about My opponent, should you decide for one of us. Only then you can be called to account for this last decision of yours. You can now reach a degree of knowledge in different ways; knowledge can be supplied to you, you can be instructed about spiritual things .... You can listen to My word everywhere where it is offered to you, and you can think for yourselves because you possess the gift of the ability to think during the stage as man. A small light is always kindled for you men from Me, only it depends on you yourselves whether you accept the light or resist it, that you close the eyes and want to remain in darkness of spirit. But you do not remain during your earth life as man completely without knowledge about a creator, because whether you also want to deny an essential God, so you still cannot deny His works of creation, and these creations already will stimulate your thought activity, but for the success you are already responsible yourselves. Again and again you will also be reminded of a God and creator in thought .... You can acknowledge Him just as well as you reject Him, and that is just your free decision of will, which you are to make during earth life and which you can therefore make, because knowledge is also always brought to you from Me, to which you can now open yourselves, but also close yourselves .... It is also always entirely up to your will what kind of way of life you lead .... Every person has a silent admonisher within him, which stimulates him to do good, but which he can also ignore if he is not prepared to live well on earth .... Every person comes into situations in life where he can render services to his fellow human being, and again it is up to his free will whether he now helps him or his heart is hardened .... Every man knows it from himself what is good for him and what harms him .... And he should act accordingly towards his neighbour, then he practices love, and then a small light will already shine in him, which lets him understand what was incomprehensible to him before .... Through works of love alone he already gives his free will the right direction, and he inwardly turns towards Me and away from My opponent .... Therefore every man can make the right decision, and therefore he also has to answer himself one day, how he has used the last stage of his earth walk, which was given to him for the last free decision. A certain degree of knowledge is therefore necessary, and I will make this possible for every man, if I do not call off a soul already in early infancy, before it could come to knowledge, but then also certain reasons are present, which you once will grasp yourselves, when you are allowed to take a look into My plan of salvation as perfected and will be able to determine the many different degrees of maturity of the souls and their reason. But this is said to you for your reassurance that I keep the right schoolhouses ready for all, which are suitable to guarantee all souls their further development .... and that I certainly know where and how a soul can best be helped to reach its aim. But who wants to reach the last perfection as man on earth, to him truly also all opportunities are offered for it, and to be able to take his last free decision of will, I will always stand by him, because I long for the return of My creatures, which I want to receive as My children into My kingdom of light and happiness .... But since My adversary also still has a right to every soul, the human being must decide for himself whom he wants to acknowledge as his lord; he cannot be forced by Me or by him, yet as soon as he has just a spark of love in him he will also decide in favour of Me, for with every act of love he escapes My adversary's power, who is devoid of all love and can only be defeated through love alone. And that is decisive in the life of a man, how he adjusts himself to the commandments of love for God and neighbour .... If only he makes an effort to live in love then he will be saved for time and eternity ...._>Amen

Creation is God's work ....

B.D. 8613 from September 11th 1963, taken from Book No. 90

My works of creation demonstrate My infinite love for you, My supreme wisdom and My omnipotence .... because they solely originated for the sake of salvation, for returning the once fallen spirits. Thus the entire work of creation is the expression of My infinite love because it was especially intended for the spiritual beings which opposed Me, which therefore rejected My love and likewise were no longer worthy of My love .... And yet, precisely these opposing spirits motivated Me to bring forth works of creation so that they might give up their resistance and return to Me again.

Hence love paid no attention to the resistance at first but imprisoned the fallen beings, i.e. My wisdom and might disintegrated the beings into countless tiny particles and the strength of My love encased them .... it reshaped the once emanated strength of beings into works of creation and My wisdom assigned them their purpose again .... Love, wisdom and power were constantly at work for the emergence of a work of creation; consequently, the creation was and is, in the true sense of the word, divine work which testifies of My fundamental nature and should appear to you humans as the greatest miracle, if you seriously think about it. And this creation will remain a miracle, for the works are not lifeless things but change constantly. The functions of the individual works of creation provide every thinking human being with the evidence of a living God full of wisdom, Whose strength of will and love is inexhaustible, Whose power is limitless .... Who constantly creates forms containing minute particles which are of service within the works of creation through the law of compulsion .... Since I withdrew these fallen spirits from My adversary's power, from the power of the spirit who once had caused their downfall, whom they once had followed voluntarily .... even though they belonged to him, precisely because they had followed him voluntarily .... he was deprived of his power over the spirits which My strength of love had turned into matter .... These beings were removed from the adversary's influence and are now subject to My law .... They were no longer free, since they had given up their freedom, but for their own sake I placed them into My law of service in a constrained state ....

All of creation is a work of My love for this fallen, unhappy spiritual substance which travels the path through the creation in great agony .... But once the previously fallen being has made its way through the creation and then lives on earth as a human being he will also recognise the work of creation to a limited extent and can rejoice in it, since his state of agony is over. Before him he will see the works of creation in all their glory, which will give evidence to him of the Creator's love, wisdom and power as soon as he begins to abandon his last resistance to Me. He himself is indeed free to some extent but now he is subject to My adversary's influence again, who previously had no power at all over the being. The human being still belongs to My adversary until he has voluntarily detached himself from him ....

And thus you have to understand correctly: Creation can and will please you humans because it is My work, but I used the strength which emanated from Me in the shape of spiritual beings for its origin .... I simply reshaped them into My love and wisdom's most diverse creations .... but they are nevertheless the fallen spirits in substance, thus part of My adversary, and they will remain so until they, entirely redeemed, return to Me again. You humans do not see the fallen spirit in creation but only see the works of My love, and you may enjoy them, you may recognise Me Myself therein and consider yourselves fortunate to have covered the path through My creations already and are nearing your perfection. But you should also remember that the real world is a spiritual world which can only be seen by someone with spiritual vision .... that everything visible to you humans is but a pale reflection of this real spiritual world .... You should remember that all matter is hardened spiritual substance and that this solidification was again only the result of the resistance to Me, the rejection of My strength of love .... Then you will also understand that the material world in its substance is spirit in opposition to Me .... which My love and wisdom merely oblige to be of service in order to break its resistance and to return it to its original state once again.

Hence the solidification of spiritual substance was caused by the beings' apostasy from Me, and therefore the hardened spirit substance still belongs to My adversary until it is spiritualised once more. However, this does not prevent Me from removing his power over this spirit substance and reshaping it into all kinds of creations for the purpose of its final, voluntary withdrawal from him and return to Me. And thus creation always remains divine work, a work of My infinite love and wisdom which only I Myself, Who possesses all power and strength and Who can implement anything His love and wisdom wants and has recognised to be successful, was able to bring into existence ....

Amen

A love life also guarantees truth ....

B.D. 8614 from September 12th 1963, taken from Book No. 90

To introduce men into spiritual knowledge will be unsuccessful as long as they are still completely in I-love, because so long they are also still in the power of My adversary, who wants to keep them in darkness. Because so long they will also strive for that what belongs to him .... earthly matter. They will desire the goods of the world and pay no attention to spiritual goods because these are not visible or tangible to them. The soul must have acquired a certain degree of maturity through love work that it is then also open for spiritual instructions, which can now have the result that the desire for truthful knowledge increases and then also the way of life is certainly led according to divine will. And so then also the maturing of the soul is guaranteed when man keeps to the spiritual teachings, when he recognizes them as divine revelations of His will and strives to fulfil it. That now the opponent tries everything to prevent the maturing of a soul is understandable, and his means is to again and again undermine truth by putting error against it and seeks to spread it. But error is poison for the soul, in contrast to truth, which alone is the right food for the soul. But the opponent has great success because again and again it is about that men have to practice love to also be receptive for truth and so far also able to judge that they recognize error as such and reject it. Love is everything .... it gives the human being a light in which even the adversary's activity is recognized by God. But love is only rarely to be found, and that is why also truth is so rarely recognized .... Nevertheless, again and again a light is carried to people on God's part, again and again the light of truth shines down to earth, and error could easily be recognized if only people demanded the truth .... But as long as their thoughts and aspirations are directed towards an illusory world .... a world that belongs to the adversary of God .... so long they do not desire to know what is behind that illusory world .... They do not know about the world, which alone is real, which has nothing in common with this earthly world, which is a kingdom of light, where there is only happiness and bliss, and which is taken possession of by those who live so that they always only fulfil the will of God, who therefore will also stand in truth, because the will of God is always only love work and because through a love life also man is enlightened from the inside and recognizes truth as such. But again and again the attempt is to be made to also supply truth to those who still stand far from it; the intellect of those men is to be addressed so that they are stimulated to think and it is then also possible that pure truth finds entrance into their hearts and they set themselves apart from the earthly world and strive for the spiritual kingdom. But good will belongs to it; a heart willing to love belongs to it, which lets itself be determined through teachings to also work in love. And truly, such a man will not get lost because as soon as truth can now be supplied to him, he also receives power to comply with the will of God. That is why the attempt is to be made everywhere to supply truth to men, and where the will of a man is not averted, there is also the possibility of a change of his nature, because truth goes out from God Himself, and what goes out from God is light and power and also has an effect as such. But when man receives light and power then also his soul matures, it gives up all resistance and turns away from the opponent of God and towards Him Who is the eternal truth Himself. It will increase in light and strength, it now also recognizes and pursues its actual purpose of earthly life, it strives for its perfection and also safely reaches its aim ...._>Amen

Wrong portrayal of God .... Error ....

B.D. 8615 from September 13th 1963, taken from Book No. 90

Many misconceptions are widespread in the world and people do nothing in order to gain the pure truth, they are indifferent towards everything which is, after all, the most important thing in earthly life: to inform themselves about the spiritual kingdom, about their God and Creator and His will .... And even though I mentally influence them time and again, the truth cannot penetrate the error since, due to the misconception, I cannot be recognised as a supremely perfect Being, and I Am usually portrayed to people as a punishing Judge, as a God of wrath, who merely has vengeance in store for everyone because they are sinful. As a result, they don't strive for such a God either and a distance remains between Me and the human race which should, in fact, be reduced in earthly life and finally completely disappear. And everything I send upon the human race through providence to make them think and turn to Me is more likely to be regarded as evidence that no God exists, for they are unable to reconcile a God of love with the fact that people must suffer. They are unable to recognise Him because they are instructed entirely wrongly, because they don't know the reason for their human existence and the purpose of their life on earth as human beings. They could certainly be taught correctly but they won't accept anything because they still harbour an inner resistance against Me as long as they don't practise love .... Love, however, has grown cold, people are governed by selfish love and therefore by the one who instilled this love in them, who is and will continue to be My adversary for an infinitely long time. Consequently, only error will come forth from him, whereas I will convey the truth to people .... Yet the human being always determines for himself as to whether he accepts error or truth .... neither My adversary nor I will exert force on him. But because of the human being's immature nature My adversary will be far more successful, particularly during the last days before the end, when error will dominate and the truth will only be accepted by a few people. For many schools of thoughts and ecclesiastical organisations openly endorse the error as truth .... whilst the followers of the truth will only be those people whose will is seriously inclined towards their God and Creator and who, as a result of this will, enter into contact with Me and receive the truth from Me Myself. As long as people still doubt My greater than great love, wisdom and might, they will not know the truth as yet.

Thus, misguided teachings originate from My adversary and he will always portray My nature in a distorted way in order to prevent people from loving Me .... He will describe Me to people as a being which must be feared, and they will never strive for and hand themselves over to such a being. But all I want is My living creations' love, therefore I must convey the pure truth to them, in which they can also recognise Me as a supremely perfect Being Whom they will then love in return. Error leads people into completely wrong thinking .... For it is a most blatant error if they are told that I demand practices and rituals from them, that they can thereby acquire beatitude, because people are never assessed by Me according to their fulfilment of earthly decreed commandments, instead, only love is of value before My eyes. And this love, which I Myself taught when I lived on earth, is certainly taught as well but it is not emphasised as so important, or those who believe that they live according to My will would practise it more. For countless people conscientiously comply with their religious duties and yet live a life without love .... This should make all of you think, the fact that these people are subject to great misconception against which the truth can hardly prevail, for they will not let go of their error which they could, however, recognise as error if they first fulfilled the commandments of love, for then they would become enlightened, because love would kindle a light in them. However, were these commandments of Mine fulfilled first and foremost, there would truly not be so much misery in the world, as can be recognised by every person, no hatred and enmity would exist between nations, it would be calm and peaceful, because this is the result of a life of love .... Instead, the whole world is in turmoil and clearly controlled by Satan which, in turn, is the evidence that the error is spread throughout the whole world and that the truth finds little acceptance with people, for the error is officially acknowledged and endorsed as truth .... Only love alone incorporates truth, everything else which is endorsed as being important yet does not include love can only be error, because it comes from My adversary who will always keep people from loving activity so that they will not recognise the truth, so that they will be unable to recognise Me Myself and offer Me love, which simultaneously signifies their release from him. Believe it, you humans, that spiritual darkness is spread across you, that your thinking was led astray, and accept the pure truth when it is offered to you by My messengers, as they impart spiritual knowledge to you which originated from Me Myself and which will kindle a bright light in you, because in the truth you will recognise Me and My nature and the love, which unites you with Me again, will flare up in you. Just test everything that is given to you as truth as to whether it will stimulate you to be lovingly active, and accept that .... But don't waste your time with external practices and rituals which cannot be regarded as loving activity and which are therefore also completely worthless for your soul, for I take no notice of such conduct, I only take notice of what love impels you to do, for this alone benefits your soul for eternity .... Just contemplate the state of the world, how all of people's intentions and thoughts are purely concerned with earthly possessions. But the only purpose for your existence on earth is to prepare yourselves for the spiritual kingdom .... Hence your thinking must be going in the wrong direction, and this is My adversary's doing. And therefore, as long as you live wrongly, your thinking is misguided; you are far removed from the truth .... consequently, I will try to convey the truth to you time and again .... and blessed it he who accepts it when it is offered to him ....

Amen

Intercession for souls in the beyond .... II.

B.D. 8616 from September 14th 1963, taken from Book No. 90

Reply to the doctrine that only 'qualified' praying men are entitled to pray for souls ....

I will only ever explain the Gospel of love to you, because you will achieve your task in earthly life when you accept this Gospel, when you fulfil the commandments of love for God and your fellow human beings. Hence you need only ever ask yourselves whether your thoughts, words and conduct correspond to My commandments of love. But only the love which is kindled deep within your heart will be required, for I cannot be satisfied with mere words and gestures .... And thus all labours of love have to be done unselfishly, since the expectation of reward diminishes love, and then the deeds will merely be valued by worldly standards. The innermost feeling of wanting to help and to bring happiness will always be decisive. When I ask you to live a life of love I mean selfless, giving love, as only this will result in your maturity. But this pure, divine, selfless love unites you with Me, and whatever you ask of Me in this love for your neighbour will be given to him, be it an easing of earthly hardship or the conveyance of spiritual values .... Your love for your neighbour will always accomplish it. Prayers without love, which are spoken by the mouth but do not arise from the bottom of your heart .... might just as well not have been spoken, for they do not reach My ear and therefore cannot be answered either.

But since the actual purpose of earthly life is to do works of love, I will not stop preaching love either. I will only ever assign the labourers in My vineyard to spread the Gospel of love, to appeal to every human heart and stimulate it into selfless activities of love .... That I will never prevent a person from doing a kind deed .... goes without saying. It only matters that he is lively and prompted by love, because I ignore formalities since they are worthless for a person's soul. Thus I Myself shall assess the human being's will, and only I know whether or not his heart is involved in everything he thinks, says or does.

You humans should only ever preach love, but you may never prevent people from doing kind deeds .... which also include the prayer for the deceased .... For do you know the degree of maturity of those who pray? .... And do you not cause doubts in people you caution about such prayers? Do you believe that they can judge for themselves whether their prayers are heard by Me? .... Do you also want to stop those from praying who are worried about their deceased and would like to help them or they would not be praying in the first place? .... You will cast doubts into their hearts, because a humble person is not convinced of his maturity, and only that should qualify him to pray for those souls .... . And who can claim to have such a profound basis of faith that only his prayers are valuable?

Judging a prayer's value should be left to Me alone, because I even value every soul's will to help, and truly, I will shield every praying person from My adversary's power. Only empty lip-prayers are worthless, but such praying men are still subject to My adversary's power or their faith would be alive and their prayer would come from their hearts. Thus you should not warn against prayers for the deceased, because it is not true that a praying person becomes subject to My adversary due to his prayer. A prayer cannot simply be answered by Me if it is merely voiced by the mouth. And such prayers will truly not save the souls from the adversary .... These praying people need not fear his revenge because they do not take any souls from him.

Let Me tell you that I only want to correct your thinking which became misguided, because you did not get such teaching material from Me, as it contradicts the truth which I send to earth for a light to shine in the darkness which was spread across humanity by My opponent. Wherever a spark of love is kindled the human being draws nearer to Me, and only such a spark of love will prompt a human being to pray for souls in the beyond .... . And a person like that is not without faith or he would deny all continuation of life after death and never forward a prayer for the souls ....

Amen

Spiritual results should not be underestimated .... Spirit is superior to intellect ....

B.D. 8617 from September 15th 1963, taken from Book No. 90

You can receive clarification about anything you reflect upon if you approach Me Myself and appeal to Me for truth. I impose no limitation on what I give but I only give according to the degree of maturity, so that a person will always understand what is conveyed to him, be it in thought or in a direct form through My address from above. All the same, it will always be the same truth, and even if I cannot instruct a person in the most profound knowledge, his questions will nevertheless always be answered according to truth, yet always such that he can comprehend it. And thus all instructions, which originate from Me, will have to be in accord, otherwise you could doubt their source. But everyone can raise his degree of maturity and thus also be introduced to ever deeper spiritual knowledge, and he will be beneficially active on earth, because spiritual knowledge will constantly spur him to pass it on .... Once a person has accepted My instruction he will be unable to keep silent. And then harmony will occur between people who appealed to Me for correct thinking and for truthful knowledge .... And people who think correctly will also always be willing to render vineyard work, for they are impelled from within, by their spirit, to enlighten their fellow human beings. However, once a person is instructed by Me Myself through his spirit, so that knowledge is conveyed to him which is written down, then he is also characterised as a vineyard labourer, for then he has the task of distributing the existing spiritual information, because I want to speak to all people and choose a mediator who is capable of accomplishing such a mission. And then his task will be obvious, for such comprehensive spiritual knowledge cannot be denied nor be conveyed to Earth without purpose. Although a certain degree of maturity is necessary again so that this spiritual information can be accepted and understood it will nevertheless contribute towards stimulating people to live a conscious way of life once they have taken notice of this unusual knowledge. It will always depend on the human being's will and his desire to receive knowledge of the 'truth' .... For sooner or later questions will arise in every person about subjects which are inaccessible to the intellect but which can be fathomed by the spirit in the person. And depending on the person's maturity of soul he will be granted the pure truth for the benefit of his soul. But a person should never value the results of his intellectual thinking more than those revealed by the spirit in him .... For the spirit stands above the intellect, to the spirit .... which is My part .... nothing is unknown, it can explain everything to a person, whereas the area which can be investigated by the intellect is limited and never extends into the spiritual realm.

Divine revelations should therefore never be underestimated, quite the contrary, no intellectual thinking, be it ever so sharp, produces comparable results. And thus you will also be able to assess the immense significance when I convey such extensive knowledge to earth through a human being, and you will understand that it is My will that this knowledge shall be distributed and that I will therefore support all efforts made by My bearers of light in order to carry light to their fellow human beings .... you will understand that I bless people who want to be of service to Me as labourers in My vineyard, for can there be anything more important in earthly life than to know the truth .... thus to convey the truth I send from above to fellow human beings? People can consider themselves fortunate that they are granted clarification where they still have erroneous thoughts .... For only truth grants them the light which illuminates the path that leads to Me. Anyone who sincerely desires the truth also thinks correctly, because I Myself enlighten him and he will be happy to discover the confirmation of his thinking in My Word. Yet many people must first be led to the path, they must first be informed of My will and be admonished to live in accordance with My will, only then will a second life start for them, so that they live a spiritual life next to their earthly life, and then the desire for truth will awaken in them and they can receive according to their desire. For this reason you should all try to raise your state of maturity, then you can be guided ever deeper into truth, even the most profound wisdom can be revealed to you which, however, would be incomprehensible to you while you are still in a low state of maturity. Yet I will never limit My distribution as long as you merely desire My gifts of love .... I will consider you spiritually as well as in an earthly way, for you will receive what you require for your soul and body as long as spiritual possessions are more important to you. For your body will cease to exist but your soul will remain, and it shall therefore be taken care of first, and its desire will always be granted ....

Amen

Faith in Jesus Christ is in danger, therefore revelations ....

B.D. 8618 from September 16th 1963, taken from Book No. 90

Faith in Jesus Christ as redeemer of the world will dwindle ever more, for everything will be done on the part of the adversary to place doubt and rejection into people's hearts .... and since no direct evidence can be produced, only faith in Him will ever have to be strong so that people will not succumb and completely exclude Him from their thoughts, which, however, signifies great spiritual darkness with the danger of falling back into the abyss. But this is the plan of the adversary so that he does not lose his following, which only Jesus Christ can wrest from him through His death on the cross when man believes in this His work of redemption. That is why the most unbelievable assertions are made, which all amount to denying an existence of Jesus completely or to put Him down as man like every other man, to call all His miracles until His resurrection from the dead a lie or legend and therefore to deny the whole work of redemption and to make it ineffective. And the adversary finds many receptive ears for his work of lies, who are all too willing to believe him because they do not want to believe in Jesus Christ and His work of redemption .... but just as he also shakes the faith of those who are indifferent and not fully convinced of the teachings concerning Jesus Christ .... And even these easily separate themselves from their former views .... and only he who earnestly seeks the truth can have his faith strengthened again, for it will be clearly given into his thoughts what the redemptive work of Jesus Christ is about, or he will gain exact knowledge through My word, because this is the most important reason for the transmission of My word to earth, that people will be truthfully informed about the act of salvation so that they will take the path to the cross and fulfil their most important task on earth, to seek forgiveness of their original sin from Him, the divine redeemer Jesus Christ. Because you men can only then speak of success in earth life when you become free of your original sin in this, and that alone only requires the acknowledgement of Jesus and the intimate request to Him for forgiveness of all sin. Then your existence as man was truly not in vain, then the aim has been reached by you, which however can never be reached without Jesus Christ. Redemption through Jesus Christ means complete solution and becoming free from the enemy of your soul, who then has lost all power over you men. But that he wants to prevent this with all means (in every way) is understandable, and that is why he also reaches for all imaginable plans (means) to take all faith in Jesus Christ from men. And since men in the last time before the end are also completely without love, they also possess no living faith, which would withstand the onslaught of the opponent, but they voluntarily also give up their weak faith; they accept erroneous teachings without hesitation to also shake off all responsibility, because they then also hardly believe in a God, Who once demands account from them for their walk of life. But My counteraction will now also take effect to a greater extent, and what cannot be made credible to people through evidence will be proven through the 'working of My spirit', and clear knowledge will be given to people as a result, and Jesus' act of salvation will also be truthfully explained and substantiated. These clarifications of Mine give such an understandable picture of the mission of the man Jesus that this human being comes to a convinced faith who is only serious about standing in truth .... And whether it is only few, but these also represent their knowledge, and the opponent will no longer be able to shake their faith. For they need no evidence, because the evidence alone is the 'working of the spirit', which also only became possible through Jesus' death on the cross and which only ever imparts pure truth to the human being and explains all spiritual correlations, so that the human being can no longer doubt .... But he has free will, and he can withdraw himself from the influence of My adversary, but as he also can be at his will and closes himself to pure truth. And the adversary's activity will become ever more apparent until he will finally also want to eliminate Me Myself and also want to deprive people of their faith in a God and creator, in a power which stands and works above all things .... And then his hour has also come, then he exceeds his authority and thereby ends even the time of his work on this earth .... Then he will be bound again for a long time, as it is proclaimed in word and scripture ...._>Amen

Chaos after the intervention ....

B.D. 8619 from September 17th 1963, taken from Book No. 90

I keep telling you time and again that you will experience an incredible chaos due to My intervention .... The forces of nature will get completely out of control leaving you unable to think; only My Own will be able to pray to Me, although these will only be desperate prayers by sending short, pleading thoughts to Me, but I will hear them and protect them from the worst. Yet everything will become disorderly and people will be thrown into bitter states of adversity .... And this will already signify the end for many because they will lose their life although it is not yet the end of this world.

However, before the final end I will still try to rescue what will allow itself to be rescued .... I want to reveal Myself to those of weak faith so that they will call upon Me in their need and receive obvious help, so that their faith will be strengthened and they will still be helpful to Me when the earth's last phase begins. And I assure you that it will almost be too much for the individual and only One will be able to give you strength and send you help if you call upon this One in dire need ....

But you humans cannot be spared this intervention, for it is a last attempt to save the souls who are still without or of little faith. When they see no other way out people can nevertheless still remember their God and Creator .... a Power above them Which alone is able to help. Once the huge natural disaster is over, the adversity will not end and the chaos will constantly increase. And then it will show where there is still a living faith, for this alone will master all adversity ....

Anyone with a living faith will completely entrust himself to Me and truly, I will not let his faith be destroyed. Time and again he will be helped, and he will also try to lead his fellow human beings into faith, and depending on their will and personal inclination to help they, too, will receive help, for the desperate situation will motivate actions of love and thus will have fulfilled its purpose of awakening neighbourly love which, again, guarantees that I will give people My love and the strength to deal with their situation.

You, who belong to Me and want to fulfil My will and be of service to Me, truly need not fear this time of adversity, for your constant bond with Me assures you My protection and a great extent of strength. Besides, I will also need you again to spread My Gospel of love, which will then be extremely necessary, for once again people will display their nature and only a few will be helpful and assist their fellow human beings and they, too, will be helped time and again, of which they can be certain .... But, on the whole, ever greater selfish love will surface, and people will ruthlessly take what does not belong to them in order to improve their living conditions .... The aggressive person will prevail and want to ruin the weak. And this will particularly characterise this time of hardship and reveal that humanity is ready for its downfall. Nevertheless, My Own shall always rely on the fact that I know of their difficulties and will also remedy them for, truly, everything is possible for Me, and I will also take care of your earthly lives and provide the most remarkable help so that your faith will become ever more alive, and with the power of faith you will prevail over everything and yet cannot be overcome by your enemies ....

You may well believe that this time is approaching; after all, I Am still using all means of help to win over souls who are not yet entirely enslaved by My adversary .... I also want to reveal Myself in My love and power to them as soon as their faith is a living one, for conventional faith will be completely abandoned since it is not a convinced faith, which remains steadfast during such earthly hardship. And all those who previously had revelled in an excess of earthly possessions will be bitterly affected by this hardship as the transience of earthly possessions is visibly brought home to them. And the effect depends on their souls' maturity, they will either take refuge with God and appeal to Him for help or try using their own strength to succeed at the expense of their neighbour, because they lack love or they would take the path to Me.

This time of adversity will make great demands on you humans, nevertheless you will survive it with My help .... Therefore ask for it, and also appeal to Me in advance for the strength to be able to endure once the chaos starts. For you will be able to achieve much in unity with Me but you will remain weak and helpless if you rely on your own strength and presume not to need divine help .... For I Myself will be with everyone who calls upon Me in his adversity ....

Amen

What did Jesus' body consist of? .... II.

B.D. 8620 from September 18th 1963, taken from Book No. 90

(Supplement regarding B.D. 8586)

You need never fear misguided teachings if you turn to Me directly for clarification. I will always provide you with the correct explanation as soon as something is incomprehensible to you. For you, who shall spread the truth, must also be able to refute every objection, you yourselves must know how everything relates to each other, otherwise you cannot be true representatives of the truth .... And thus you should also know that all matter is solidified spiritual substance .... spiritual strength, which was once emanated by Me as a being and did not fulfil its actual purpose .... because these beings refused to be active according to My will. As a result of this refusal the spiritual substance hardened, that is, it solidified and I gave shape to this substance .... The hardened substance became matter ....

However, by virtue of My power I can also let matter arise which has not first gone through the process of hardening of spiritual substance .... By virtue of My will I can solidify spiritual strength into a form .... This is what I did in order to create a cover of flesh for Myself which, however, was not meant to be any different from that of any other human being, with the exception that it did not originate from My adversary's realm but I joined the spiritual substance directly to creation, so that it indeed took the path through the creations which matter has to take in order to carry out its serving functions and thereby gradually develops to the stage where it shall serve as an abode for a soul ....

Every person's cover of flesh is still at the initial stage of development, it is not yet spiritualised and after a person's death it must generally still travel a very long path of development until it may shelter as part of a soul in a body .... The time the spiritual substance needed in order to serve a soul as a body was also granted by Me to this solidified strength in order to travel the path through the creations until it was permitted to serve Jesus as an external form. For this soul required a body which was of the same consistency as any other human body, because He wanted to spiritualise this body as well and because, through His body, He was also subject to all temptations by immature spirit which had hoped to gain influence over the soul through the body.

Thus, His body's substance was effectively non-fallen spirit, yet it had travelled through the realm of the fallen spirits, the body likewise belonged to the creation which shelters the fallen beings and during this path of development had to prove itself already by experiencing and enduring the pain of its bound, constrained state .... which was part of Jesus' act of Salvation as well, nevertheless also contributed towards the complete spiritualisation of Jesus' body .... For as a result of the process through creation the body was as similarly natured as any other human body, and Jesus the man had to fight the same battles against cravings and weaknesses, and yet the body was without sin because it was intended to serve Me as an abode and I already dwelled in Jesus the infant and at times also proved it to Jesus.

It must be understandable to you that Jesus' spiritualised body could not have belonged to another original spirit, that I therefore took care of this physical body Myself and that it was an act of My power and wisdom .... but that, on the other hand, its nature had to be such that its spiritualisation could also take place in order to substantiate the process of His resurrection and to give people the incentive to strive for the body's spiritualisation as well. For this purpose the individual substances of Jesus' body took the path through the works of creation too and endured the torment of constraint, so that Jesus' act of Salvation would be a complete and utter success .... For then the external immature forces exerted influence on Jesus the man, they tried to entice the still weak bodily substances to become sinful, yet Jesus resisted them, He fought against all temptations and silenced the body's every craving, so truly, His battle was not an easy one despite the fact that he was without sin .... Nothing was spared Him precisely because He wanted to exemplify to his fellow human being how to live, He wanted to provide the evidence that it is possible for every person to achieve the same .... to spiritualise body and soul ....

Nevertheless, even if it is not yet entirely comprehensible to you, you should believe that Jesus' body and soul were without sin and that precisely because of this Jesus had to suffer far more, because He had entered a sinful region and had to succeed in the harshest battle on earth a person will ever have to go through, for everything of an earthly nature besieged His body and His soul, and only His greater than great love stood up to these pressures, for Jesus, the human being, sheltered the fullness of 'God' within Him and together with Me He was victorious and broke the adversary's power ....

Diversity of apostasy from God ....

B.D. 8621 from September 20th 1963, taken from Book No. 90

My plan of return is based on deepest love and wisdom, and whether you are also not always able to recognize it .... But what is not comprehensible to you sometimes causes you to doubt My love and justice .... and then you ask questions which I can only answer again by giving you information about the difference of the apostasy from Me .... For the beings had certainly all become sinful through their conscious opposition, through the defence of My love power and their arrogance towards My love. And yet there were differences in the kind of rebellion, according to the degree of defence on the part of Lucifer, which he possessed at the creation of the beings .... and the more his strength diminished, which certainly flowed to him undiminished from Me but which he no longer accepted in his arrogance because he no longer believed he needed it in view of the large host of beings which had emerged from him. But exactly as his resistance against Me increased, so also his power decreased, and he still used his existing power for the emergence of new beings, but which had more and more his will in them, which was opposed to Me. So they were accordingly of that kind and still also had to be regarded as divine creatures because it was My power out of which they had emerged. And they, too, were able to recognize Me as God and creator, they, too, could have freely decided in favour of Me .... because I would not have allowed Lucifer to force a being to resist Me .... Every being was free and able to recognize Me and remain with Me .... Yet the beings all reacted differently to My love flowing towards them .... Some of those beings remained loyal to Me again, they acknowledged Me and remained in the sphere of My emanation of love. And again also of the first created beings many turned away from Me and followed him, who originally stood in highest light and whose will was also not weakened through influence of My opponent. And so also the attitude of all fallen beings towards Me as their God and creator was completely different. The rejection of My love power alone already made the being sinful, but the resistance against Me increased to deepest hatred .... Countless beings took on the same nature to which Lucifer himself had changed .... These spirits fell into endless depths and therefore need a far longer way until their final return .... Usually one period of development is not enough for these beings, they go through several periods of development .... Therefore there are also men on earth who already have many such periods of development behind them, who now can certainly also get rid of their last outer form through Jesus' work of redemption .... but as also again the possibility exists that they do not reach perfection on earth and have to cover the course again in the creations of earth. And as unjust as this may seem to you men .... you cannot assess the magnitude of your guilt, for you must always bear in mind that the light of realization was inherent in all beings, that they fully consciously threw themselves up against Me, but that they can also .... when they walk across earth as a human being .... think that they are subordinate to a higher power, and they can hand themselves over to this power, and then they will already have acknowledged Me again, and after their death they can be accepted into the kingdom of the beyond where they still have the opportunity to ascend .... When you men believe to discover injustice towards My creatures, then always consider that even the hardest lot still does not outweigh by far the great guilt of the former resistance against Me .... and know that also this sin of apostasy from Me has taken place in many degrees or gradations .... that you can never measure the greatness of this sin and that mostly one walk through earth creation is not enough .... Consider that you yourselves could already have covered this course (several times) {and had to go through creation again and again} until you reached that degree of development, that you now can complete yourselves when you are of the will to finally become free out of form. But again there is also the possibility that primitive men are inwardly of good mind and good will, that they in no way rebel against the power, Which has created them, that they believe in a power over them, no matter how they imagine this power, and that they cover their earth life in fulfilment of the tasks, which are given to them in their surroundings. Then they will be trained further in the kingdom on the other side and can also come again to the light; they will then also recognize the greatness of their former guilt; they will find to Jesus and now be busy in the kingdom on the other side and want to help again those who know them in the same situation. Just as they once resisted Me despite brightest realization they can, after an infinitely long process of development, also hand themselves over to Me without deeper realization, because a tiny spark of love is planted in every human heart which can be effective from within and the human being radiates love to his surroundings, irrespective of his faith .... And if he is still of a spirit completely opposed to Me he will, like many other, more highly developed people, have to start walking again {across the earth} (through creation), but one day even this original spirit will reach its aim and also realize that its former opposition to Me could not be atoned for in any other way and that at last one day the redemption through Jesus Christ also had to be accepted by it, be it on earth or in the kingdom of the beyond .... One day he will be free of his guilt and freely confess Me and be happy again, as he was in the beginning ...._>Amen

Inscrutability of the Deity ....

B.D. 8622 from September 21st 1963, taken from Book No. 90

You should believe that you humans will eternally be unable to fathom My fundamental nature. It is not possible to make you understand what I Am in essence, for your thinking is still limited, and thus you are incapable of comprehending the infinite. Infinite, however, is the spirit for Whom you created the term 'God'. And what this spirit is in Itself again cannot be explained to you either, because He has no form and you always imagine everything in existence as a form .... especially when it is of substance, thus when it possesses a thinking will. I, however, certainly exist but Am not conceivable in any shape .... I Am unlimited strength Which works without limitation .... And thus this strength permeates the entire universe, It permeates every physical and spiritual creation. And It always and forever works in lawful order .... For a thinking will directs this spiritual strength according to a plan in love and wisdom. This 'thinking will' entitles you to imagine a Being, you just may not give this Being a form but have to regard everything that is visible to you and all spiritual creations as imbued by My strength of love .... by My spirit .... with Which, however, you are able to make mental contact, because I Myself Am a thinking Being.

My fundamental nature, My spirit, My love, My strength .... everything is the same. The all-pervading strength is God .... love in itself is God .... The spirit is God. And yet God is a Being, for a thinking will determines how the love, the strength, the spirit expresses itself, it determines My every reign and activity. And though the strength of love dispersed itself into countless tiny sparks .... each tiny spark is again the same as I Myself: a spirit with the same characteristics as I Myself, only extremely small .... and yet powerful, for it is a carrier of the eternal Deity Itself again or it could not continue to exist if it were not permeated by My strength of love. And thus the human being can indeed liken himself to Me Myself, because you all are images of Me. Nevertheless you are finite beings, you are a part of Me which has to be looked upon as finite as long as you are still imperfect. Once you become perfect again, as you were in the beginning, then the fusion with Me will take place again too, and then it will be easier for you to form a concept of the Deity, albeit I Am and will remain inscrutable to you in My innermost nature. But then you will no longer apply limited standards as you do as human beings and which is the reason for your frequently misguided reasoning.

I Am a spirit, that is, I Am a Being Which is not perceptible to your human senses but Which nevertheless exists .... Which, however, is a Being because you can recognise meaning and purpose in everything I brought into existence and thus arrive at the logical conclusion of a Might capable of thought and will. Therefore you should contact this Might Which cannot be denied by you. For only this connection, the union, makes you realise that you are the same in your fundamental nature .... And when this Might speaks to you, then it does not address your external shell .... the body .... but what is inside of this shell, which characterises you as a divine image: your spirit, which thus emerged from Me (was given to you) and is part of Me .... which you once rejected and which was given to you again as a tiny spark for your existence as a human being, with other words: I speak to the eternally immortal part in you, I speak to what belongs to Me Myself, which emanated from Me Myself as a minute spark and shelters in your human cover, which is only evidence again that I Myself wanted to find Myself again in you, My living creations, and thus you will also stay inseparably connected to Me, because My spirit is undividable .... Because My strength of love assures your existence, because you can never again cease to exist, for you are My emanated strength which, according to eternal law, has to return to the source of strength again.

You will only understand all this in the state of perfection, your thinking will no longer be limited but you will also know that I Am a Being to Whom all your love belongs, you will know that I Am love Myself, and you will understand why you were unable to grasp all this as a human being. For as long as I Myself .... My spirit .... My love, cannot take full possession of you because you are still imperfect I cannot permeate you such that you are radiantly enlightened either. Yet I Am active in you, as far as this is possible, as far as your degree of maturity permits it .... bestowing ever more light upon you, so that one day you will reach perfection ....

Amen

Deceptive works of the adversary .... (UFOs)

B.D. 8623 from September 22nd 1963, taken from Book No. 90

Many times you will still be thrown into serious doubt and caused to ask questions, for during the last days you can still count on big surprises from My adversary's side. He will not hesitate to use any means to disturb you and keep you from the truth, he will do anything to distract your thoughts from your actual task of improving your soul, and he will do so cunningly to make it difficult to recognise it as satanic activity, because he will always disguise himself with a garment of light. He will pretend that you will be protected, that in times of earthly difficulties you will receive help 'from above' by beings of light, by inhabitants from other stars who will take care of people. For he certainly sees the chaos that exists on earth and even uses it for his own purposes to add to the confusion. Indeed, countless beings of light are ready to give you humans every assistance on My behalf, both spiritually and earthly, but they will only work on a spiritual level, they will influence your thoughts, they will urge you towards Me in Jesus Christ, they will arrange your fate such that your souls will be able to benefit from it.

They will give you good advice and you can also appeal to them for help in every need as soon as you are in contact with Me so that I can instruct these beings of light to assist you .... Yet visible things are truly not necessary to give you this help, they will not approach you by manifesting themselves or even operating physical objects which you can see with your eyes .... For the inhabitants of the world of light, the inhabitants of My kingdom, who are instructed by Me to help you need no physical covers to apply their will, they are spiritual beings who only ever influence you spiritually .... My adversary, however, influences you humans differently by trying to deceive you. He wants people to believe that supernatural beings take care of earthly inhabitants and instructs his followers to flash deceptive lights, for it is in his interest to stop people from giving themselves to their God and Creator, so that they will turn and entrust themselves to those beings and thereby become subject to his rule ....

He has great power at the end which he truly uses well for himself .... I can only ever warn you humans not to be so gullible. If you believe that beings from other planets come to earth in order to help you in any way then you should first consider that all visible stars are inhabited by beings in need of maturity but who, in accordance with eternal law, may not leave their assigned world .... that spiritual contact can in fact take place but people on earth should not look for such contact with inhabitants of other stars since you do not know the degree of maturity of those who want to communicate with you in spirit. Although these beings are indeed able to transmit messages to you by spiritual means .... through mediums .... you are unable to verify their content as truth. And therefore you should dismiss such messages as questionable, for when I want to instruct you it will either happen directly or through beings of light in My kingdom who receive the teaching material for you directly from Me. You should stay away from contact with spirits as long as you have not learned to differentiate between the spirits ....

My adversary, however, will always interfere where people willingly open themselves for messages from the spirit world. The desire for the supernatural alone offers My adversary a reason and he will always oblige the seekers, yet never for the benefit of their souls. During the last days he will also try to deceive people through materialisations by making non-material objects appear as phantoms before the eyes of individual people who seek unusual experiences and therefore can also be easily influenced by My opponent. In addition, people, too, launch experimental objects into the universe which are sighted again as material objects, so that people are no longer able to distinguish between illusion and reality. Yet both are of satanic origin, whether it originates from people or from the spiritual world which, however, is always the realm of darkness, just as people are prompted by the prince of darkness to conduct these experiments.

The end is approaching, and that is the reason for Satan's extraordinary activity. But I Myself also work extraordinary things by conveying the pure truth to people, and I would truly also let you know should these 'inhabitants of other celestial bodies' become active on My behalf .... I truly would not keep you guessing about it. But time and again I say to you 'Do not let such deceptive lights bother you ....' For he who causes them does not want to save you but ruin you. You will still experience much more before the end which will enable you to clearly observe his activity, providing you pay attention and stay in contact with Me so that I will always be able to illuminate your thoughts and in the light of truth you will recognise him and his doings ....

Amen

Destruction of earth is the result of experiments ....

B.D. 8624 from September 23rd 1963, taken from Book No. 90

The final work of the earth's destruction will be triggered by you humans yourselves. And I will not stop you, because I also consider the spiritual substance which, as a result of this work of destruction, will be liberated from matter and able to continue its process of development in new forms on the new earth. You have been informed of this several times already and yet have little belief, for the whole event is simply unimaginable to you. Nevertheless, it is the conclusion of a period of development which will lead to a new period, so that the work of return can once again successfully proceed in lawful order, which was no longer evident before the destruction of the old earth. My adversary completes his last satanic work by influencing people to do something which he has no power to do himself: to destroy works of creation .... in the belief of thereby releasing the constrained spirits and taking control of them. He manipulates people and induces them to carry out all kinds of experiments which, however, will fail with devastating effect due to peoples' lack of knowledge. For people dare to experiment without having explored the outcome .... they will unleash forces they cannot control and consequently are doomed to die. And with them the creation work earth, too, will be subject to enormous destructions .... The entire earth's surface will totally change, all works of creation on earth will fall prey to destruction, the effects will penetrate to the core of the earth, and thus one can speak of a destruction of enormous proportions although people themselves will not be able to observe it, apart from the small flock which I will lead away from earth beforehand into a realm of peace.

I Myself would never allow such destruction if I would not thereby gain new opportunities of salvation for the still constrained spiritual substance, which has already languished for an infinitely long time in hardest matter .... Yet continued development would also be possible for this spiritual substance if people did not reverse the lawful order and always just lived up to their helpful task on earth .... But people no longer live within divine order, and therefore My adversary exerts great influence over them and impels them to start a process in the hope of gaining the return of the constrained spirits to him. And I will not stop him, since it still depends on every person's own free will to comply with My adversary's inducement .... Nevertheless, regardless of what people do, I will always know how to utilise the effects of their actions correctly. For even the world of darkness is subject to Me and My might, and it will have to serve Me while at the same time taking part in My work of return, if only unconsciously. But I have always known the direction of humanity's will and I was able to incorporate it in My plan of Salvation .... I know when the moment in time has come when spiritual progress can no longer be expected ....

I also know when the time has come to liberate the constrained spiritual substances, and therefore will not prevent people's activity when they set an enormous work of destruction into motion due to their misguided will, which aims for My adversary, and thus people are his willing instruments. For he himself is unable to destroy any work of creation, he cannot dissolve any kind of matter and all power over the spirits has been taken away from him. This is why he tries to regain it, and people who belong to him contribute themselves towards the disintegration of matter .... at first through countless experiments which then take on proportions which matter can no longer withstand .... But I allow the spirits captivated therein to be set free, if only at the expense of humanity, which itself has reached a spiritual low that requires a new banishment into matter .... And irrespective of what My adversary and the people who belong to him will undertake .... in the final analysis it will nevertheless serve the progress of the spiritual substances again, which is meant to reach perfection one day. Therefore My plan of Salvation will surely be implemented, as it is proclaimed in Word and Scripture ....

Amen
